The Money Market presents signs of activity and firmness. A large number of first-class bills are being brought forward for negotiation, but the rates continue to range from 8 per cent. for the very best short-dated descriptions. No feature of importance is noticeable, but the fine weather induces cheerful ness, and were it not for the adverse tendency of the foreign exchanges, and the disclosures respecting the Birmingham bank failure, more confidence would be displayed. At the Bank of England on Saturday there was an influx of £ll,OOO, and a withdrawal of £136,000 for the Continent. The account s : rom t h e var i ous manufacturing dis tricts for the past week have generally been unsatis factory. At Manchester the late slight improve ment in the value of cloths and yarns has not been maintained, while in the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield only moderate dealings have taken place in seasonable goods. The hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham have remained very quiet, while at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton a very dull tone has been apparent, consequent upon the suspension of the bank and a falling off in the receipt of export orders from Germany and the Continent. O'CLOCK . At the P ar i s B ourse this morning,Two according • to Reuter's telegram, the French Routes were GBf. F lat, all offered. Business in the Corn Market to-day remained ho ' v ery quiet. The r e were on l y li m i te d supplies of home_grown wheat on offer, but the condition was generally good, and prices underwent no material alteration. The present quotations of the Consol market are 1 per cent. lower than at the close of busi ness on Saturdayafternoon. The beneficial effect of the change of Ministry has in a great measure been negatived by the Continental war, the adverse specie movement, and the continuance of the 10 per cent. minimum. The variation is nevertheless com paratively unimportant, owing to the satisfactory position of home polities, and the highly favourable weather for the harvest. At the moment of our writing Consols are 878 for money, and 871 i f for the next settlement. The circumstances referred to affecting the British Funds have influenced, more or less, the other departments of the Stock Ex change. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are depressed at 871 I ; Bank Stock is 245 ; and India 5 per Cents. 1024 103. Foreign Stocks are generally at lower rates. Turkish 5 per Cents. have declined 8 to 264; Mexican, Ito 154 8 ; Spanish Passive, i f to 191 ; Certificates, 4to 141 151 ; and Italian, 14 to 54 ; while Greek remain unchanged. at 11 12 ; and the Brazilian Scrip, 4 3 dis.

Perhaps as good an illustration as any that can be given of the difference between the two things is supplied by the United States. They have real Governments which last for four years certain. Compare au American President with the Queen of England. llad Lincoln, has Mr. Johnson no political power ? Would either of them have thought, in the midst of a great public crisis, of leaving the whole American nation to take care of itself in order to go to a coun try house four or five hundred miles from the seat of Government? Again and again in the course of the last six years we have seen the Ame rican Presidents take their own line in the most energetic way in the teeth of the strongest possible opposition, and do things which no English King since the Revolution would ever have dreamed of daring to do. It must also be added that on many occasions events have shown that they were per fectly right, and that the majority in Congress for the time being were wrong. We have no power anywhere in any degree like this. Our Govern ments are at once the weakest and the least perma nent bodies by which great empires were ever governed. They are committees of eight or ten absolutely dependent for their existence on a Par liamentary majority for the time being."

Newton Abbot Races are announced to take place on Thursday and Friday, August 9 and 10.. Lord Courtenay and several other noblemen have consented to act as stewards. The stakes offered are more than usually at tractive, as the Devon and Exeter Meeting, at Haldom, will not be held this year. Wo have authority to state that the sensational match between the Duke of Hamilton and the Marquis of Hast ings, which has been so commented upon in the sporting papers, was cancelled on Thursday morning, the day after it was arranged at Newmarket. The Yorkshire Club, at York, which is composed en tirely of the Yorkshire aristocracy, and which boasts of the best chef de cuisine in England, have invited his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to honour thorn with his company at luncheon during his visit to York, to inspect the Yorkshire Volunteers. TIIE Quonx.—The Marquis of Hastings has taken the Quorn kennels and stables for a year. LA POItTUNE.—This mare, engaged in the Goodwood Stakes, reached Newmarket on Thursday evening from France, looking fit and well. LIE DERBY, OAKS, AND ST. LEGER Or 1868.—The entries for these stakes closed on Tuesday last, and for the first-named event there are 268 subscribers, against 266 for 1867. In the fillies race at Epsom, '221 animals have been nominated, against 212 for 1867, and a still larger increase of subscribers to the Doncaster prize will be noticed, as there are 244, and only 227 in the pre vious year. NEWMARKET, 1867.—The July Stakes has 55 subscri bers, and the Chesterfield Stakes 60. GOODWOOD MEETING.—Tho Stow ards 7 Cup has closed with 73 subscribers ; the Chesterfield Cup, 55 ; the Nur sery Stakes, 67; and the March Stakes, 25. On Saturday the final handicap of the season amongst he members of the Gun Club was shot off at the grounds Wormholt-scrubbs, near Shepherd's-bush. The proceed ings commenced with a match for £5 between Mr. Warine Lysley and Mr. Corballis, who shot at four birds each, the first-named gentleman killing two birds, and his opponent not scoring. Then followed a handicap sweepstakes of a soy each, at three birds, for which 11 entered. Mr. E. Ed wards, Mr. Corballis, and Mr. Warine Lysley killed all their birds ; but on shooting off the ties Mr. Warine Lysley brought down his bird and won, the other gentlemen miss ing. Sixteen subscribers entered for the next sweepstakes, and no loss than seven gentlemen killed each of their three birds, viz., the Earl of Uxbridge, Mr. P. Percival, Captain Digby Boycott, Mr. Frederick Norris, Mr. Brodie, Mr. M'Arthur Payne, and Mr. Warine Lysley. On shooting off the ties Capt. Digby Boycott and Mr. Percival having killed, divided. The great event then took place, "The Goodwood Stakes" of £5 each, £1 forfeit, post entries £6, six birds each, on the usual conditions. The betting was very brisk at the following prices :-7 to 1 agst Captain Baskerville, 8 to 1 agst Mr. Battcock, Mr. Warino Lysley, Captain Digby Boycott, the Hon. G. R. Hill, and Mr. J. Joe, V. 0., C.B. ; 10 to 1 agst Viscount Stormont, the Earl of Uxbridge, and Mr. G. G. Brodie ; 12 to 1 agst Captain Henry Talbot, Mr. P. Percival, and Mr. M'Arthur Payne ; 15 to 1 agst Mr. William Gregory and Lord Willoughby do Broke ; and 20 to 1 agst any other. The result was that Captain Baskerville and Mr. William Gregory killed all their birds, and had to shoot off for the first and second prizes, and the most interesting match that has been seen this season resulted. Each gentleman killed four birds in succession, and at the fifth, though each "hit," the boundary was not high enough to keep them in. Another kill by each followed, and then a double miss as before. Four dead birds to each gun were then scored, but though Mr. Gregory hit his twelfth very hard, his luck was harder, for the bird escaped, and Captain Baskerville only let off one barrel—a valuable charge, as he became the winner of the first prize, £B5, Mr. Gregory pocketing £2O The result of those ties as they proceeded silenced many of the betters behind the ropes, 19 birds out of 24 having dropped, the total being 85 killed, and 40 missed. For the third prize there were nino ties, Mr. C. C. Tubbs ultimately winning, the shooting being very good. The following is the full score:— rds ta t.

BOROUGH HOP. The accounts from the plantations al . o much more favourable, and the demand for all kinds of hops rules heavy, at barely late rates.

For barley, oats, beans, and peas, the trade was in a sluggish state at about late currencies. Flour moved off slowly at late prices. On the Continant the demand for wheat was inactive at late rates. Spring corn is in limited request at last week's currency. At New York very little business is doing in wheat and flour for oxport to Great Britain. East India linseed and rapeseed, although in very mo derate request, ruled firm, at full currencies. Mustard seed was held at high prices. In other seeds the trade was quiet, on former terms. The cake trade was firm, and rather higher prices were obtained. Small supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad consisted of 28,967 quarters of wheat, 13,963 barley, 50,919 oats, 10 rye, 900 beans, 105 peas, 2,540 rapeseed, 3,310 sundry seeds, and 1,522 sacks of flour. The supply of English wheat on sale at Mark-lane to day was small, but the condition of the produce was good. Millers showed no inclination to operate, and the business done was extremely limited. Prices were without quot able change from last. Foreign wheat was in moderate supply. The transactions were chiefly in retail, and previous quotations were in most instances supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request al barely late rates. English barley was in short supply, but the show a foreign produce was good. The trade was very quiet, ai drooping prices. Malt changed hands to a limited extent at late rates. Oats ware in good supply, the supply consisting chiefly of foreign qualities. The demand was in a sluggish state, on rather easier terms. Beans were a dull inquiry, and prices had a drooping tendency. Peas met a slow sale on rather easier terms. The demand for flour was in a sluggish state, at barely late rates. WOOL. Tho amount of business doing in wool is very moderato. The market, however, is decidedly firm, yet no improve ment can bo noticed in prices. Last week's imports were 1,623 bales from Hobart Town, and 2,100 bales from New Zealand. Current prices of EngHO" wool per lb. d a d Fleeces—South Down ...... 1 4} 1 54 TIES FOR THIRD PRIZE. Mr. C.

Battcock, the secretary of the Gun Club, is "organis ing" a meeting to come off at Brighton in October, and has already received more than a dozen nanies, the list being open at No. 4, Carlton-stroot, Regent-Wed, for further entries. 7,125 The Bavarian Army. The main street under my windows is filled with commissariat and ambulance waggons ; the troops will, I fancy, be under arms all night, so there is a prospect of a good deal of noise. It is very excit ing and interesting to see war in actual progress, be cause all this is so utterly different to the parade of reviews, &c. There is a chance, however, of our being fired upon in return, if the Bavarian troops fire upon the Prussians. About 7 o'clock we went out with Mrs. to see the preparations, and were passing through the soldiers when the General himself rode up to her, and in very good French French recommended her not to stay out. The poor Kurgarten is desecrated by horses being picketed there, and by ammunition waggons drawn across it. If the Prussians, however, do attack us, there does not seem to stop them, as the river, though deep, is not broad. The waggons under my windows are moving, so I suppose something is up. I shall, however, hear more in the morning. July 10.—On awaking this morning I found that the street was quite clear of the baggage waggons, but on going out we found all the troops under arms round the bridge and the Kurgarten, and all the houses in the neighbourhood of the bridge filled with soldiers. I believe the Bavarian force consisted of about 25,000 men in the town, while the Prussians, I have heard, are 40,000. On reaching the bridge I heard that Prussian outpost had already been shot. On going to my bedroom I found everything covered with plaster from a bullet which had ploughed along the cornice. Since then I have been about to see the results of the fighting. Very pain ful. Not so much the killed, as they lie peacefully asleep ; but the sight of the wounded brought in on stretchers is very distressing. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

The petition presented by certain directors for winding up the Trinidad Petroleum Company (Limited) has been withdrawn, the directors having agreed to place their resignations in the hands of 1 the shareholders at the genera l mee ti ng t o b e held on the 20th inst. The report of the Natal Land and Colonization Company shows an available total of £5,498, and recommends a dividend of 21 per cent. (making 5 1 - per cent. for the year), which will leave £B6O to be carried forward. The appeal to shareholders for a loan has been met to an extent that will probably obviate the necessity of a call.

The magistrates committed the prisoners for trial. SOMETHING LIKE A CHARMED LIFE.—The Dantzig Gazette says that there is a soldier now in that town who was engaged in the battle of Langensalza, where he received eight shots, none of which did him any injury Three of these passed through his coat-tails, one knocked off his epaulette, another his cap, another made a hole in his trousers, aucl %le 13.119c1i0C1 of a piece cf nail. (From a Corre,spondenclent of the Times.) KISSINGEN, BAVARIA, July 9. We had a scene of excitement here last Thursday. In the morning a body of cavalry came back iu re treat into the town, with artillery drivers and horses, who had evidently had their traces cut. They reported that in advancing to Fulda they had been fired upon in a hollow road by the Prussians, and that the Prussians were advancing, and were already at Bruckenau, 17 miles off. This body passed through in tolerable order, but about one o'clock a regular flight through the town of the re mainder of the cavalry took place,—lancers, dragoons, and artillery horses, the men with their lances and swords gone, and galloping for very life, the most disgraceful sight you ever saw. Of course everybody expected the Prussians in at once, and there was a regular panic among the shopkeepers and hotel-keepers, as well as among the German visitors, who bolted at once —at least, those who could get carriages. Ho "ever, as news came in during the course of the afternoon that the Prussians were not any where near the alarm gradually subsided. The story I now hear about the whole affair is that the advanced guard of Bavarian cavalry were feeling their way, expecting a surprise, when in a dark, hollow piece of road, this being at night, a pistol went off by accident ; this alarmed them so much that they turned round and galloped back to the main body, but, not seeing them in the dark, rode right into them. The main body fired their pistols in the dark, thinking, of course, the whole Prussian army was upon them, and then retreated on th6.artil lery and baggage. These cut their traces, fled adding to the panic. The whole body seems to have goneat full speed not only through Bruckenau, but all the way here, and they certainly passed through Kissin gen at a good pace, though the horses seemed fit to drop. The whole affair was a panic. It has created a great sensation here, for the place is now full of troops, and I hear that the officers of the body that fled have been " sent to Coventry." The commanding officer was summoned to Munich, where they say he would certainly have been shot, but he anticipated that by shooting himself in the temple. We are now, however, having something more real. I and two other men went out for a walk about 5, leaving the town quite quiet, except there are about 5,000 men billeted in the place and the neighbouring villages. From the summit of the hill above the town we were surprised to see that artillery were taking up position among the cornfields in the slopes to the east of the town and above it. When we returned about 7 o'clock, we found the place in an attitude of defence, as it appears the Prussians are close by. I understand that they are being pursued by an Austrian body, and the Bavarians here are prepared to cut off their retreat. They are believed to be coming along the other bank of the river from Bruckenau and Fulda. Consequently all the houses on that side have been deserted, and the small foot bridges have been taken down ; the stone bridge has been barricaded, and all the ap proaches are lined with troops, while two guns com mand the bridge. The place is, in fact, put into a state of defence to the utmost extent possible, the houses overlooking the river being filled with troops. ITf~;S. MAR: SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, READING RACES.—SATURDAY. The novel venture of a third day at Reading, and that day the worst in the whole week for racing, proved mode rately successful, and the attendance, although not so large as on the two preceding days, was pretty numerous, and the fields for the several races set of average strength. The sports commenced and concluded at an unusually early hour, by which judicious arrangement professionals and visitors were enabled to reach their homes in good time. The following is the return of the day's racing:— PRINCE of WALES HANDICAP of 40 sovs ; winners extra. About seven furlongs. Mr. Chaplin's Mazurka Mr. T.

Mr. Blenkiron having determined this year to divide the sale of his young stock, the remainder of those bred here, as well as some at Easby Abbey in Yorkshire, were on Saturday disposed of by Mr. E. Tattersall. The attendance was not by any means so numerous as on that celebrated hot Saturday in the Ascot week—warm in every sense— when the weather seemed to have au influence on the buyers, and bidding rose with the thermometer. Equally warm was the external atmosphere on this occasion, but the furore of high prices had abated. The young heroes of the 2d of June were absent, and the more elderly divi sion grouped round the auctioneer's rostrum held out small hopes to Mr. Dlenkiron that such almost fabulous and quite absurd prices would be realised on this occasion. And yet the sale was a very good one, much better than the first glance of affairs led us to expect. Twenty-two lots brought 7,125 guineas, or £7,481, an average of £340 a piece, a result that a few years back would have been con sidered highly satisfactory, and so wo hope the spirited proprietor of Middle-park thought it now. That one who has done so much by his excellent judgment to improve our blood stock should receive a fitting reward no one will grudge, but we venture to think that maybe attained with out such unhealthy and extravagant competition as charac terised the first sale The lots were of the usual average excellence. To the colt by Stockwell—Typee, belonged the hono urs o f th e hi g h est figure. Count Batthyany gave 1,000 guineas for him, and' though a rather backward one, he still is of great size and gives promise of developing into a very fine horse. A chest nut filly by Dundee —Rose of Cashmere, bought by the same nobleman, was one of the handsomest there, with the most blood -like bead and neck we ever saw. She went comparatively cheap for 350 gs. The black colt, brother to Bel Demonic., for which Mr. Pryor gave 700g5., was very big and exhibited great power, but had hardly enough quality. The colt by St. Albans—Vesuvienne, was very handsome, straight-backed and level, blood-like all over, and Sir F. Johnstone secured him cheap for 320 gs. One of the neatest and most muscular colts there was the one by Mandricardo—Merry Wing, but not being "fashionably'' bred he only realised 155 gs. Perhaps one of the finest was the brown colt by Orlando—out of Gossamer, a grand-look ing animal, of great size and bone, who appeared to be fully worth the 700 gs. that Sir F. Johnstone gave for him. The one by Dundee—Exact, though a trifle leggy, was very handsome and well topped, and the colt by Prime Minister —out of Tested, combining both size and quality, looked very like racing. He was b oug ht by Mr. R eeves, t o go abroad, for 400 gs. We have bef ore alluded in our remarks on this sale to Mr. Blenkiron's tenancy of Middle-park under the Crown, and the fears he entertains of being compelled at a not dis tant day to evacuate premises so eminently calculated for breeding purposes. Each visit paid to Middle-park shows us the rapid advance of bricks and mortar almost up to the boundaries of the estate. Will no one plead with Govern ment for the preservation of an establishment which, with deference be it said, flings that Hampton Court far into the shade ? Private enterprise in this country often accom plishes in other things than a breeding stud what the public purse seems unable to do. We subjoin a list of buyers and prices : gs.

The Garibaldini. VESTONE, July 6.—Whilst events of so much greater importance and interest are occurring in other parts of Europe, it is difficult for a person here to believe that the movements of an irregular force, however numerous, can attract the attention of readers in England, nor indeed could it do so unless its composition were quite different to that of ordinary bands destined for guerilla warfare. It is the glory of Garibaldi's name, and the fact that the noblest families in Italy deem it an honour to sacri fice their position in order to fight under his flag for the redemption of their country that render this eminently constitutional, though ill-organised army worthy of the admiration of our countrymen. Since this volunteer force has come more into the calculation of the generals who settle the plan of the whole campaign, the restrictions in respect to those who, like the present writer, are anxious to see the redshirts pierce their way into the Tyrol have be come very severe, and the few who have been so fortunate as to procure a pass previously have no reason to complain of lack of opportunities for show ing it. La Marmora, not content with ejecting all strangers from the camp of the regular army, has gone far toward doing the same thing among the Garibaldini. The place named at the head of this letter is a village situated on the left bank of the Chiese, and nearly midway between Salo and the position of the Garabaldini at Monte Suello, Caffaro, and Bagolino. I had purposed to go on at once to the Rocca d'Anfo, but the reports which reached me from all comers of the extreme naked ness of the land determined me to rest for one night at least in quarters where I am promised nothing less than trout and cutlets—a perfect banquet after the thin " minestra " and half-baked bread of Salo. At Salo a hungry man, no matter whether his purse be full or empty, is now in a very helpless state. The hotel and cafe keepers have been worked off their legs. Morning, noon, and night, one stream of ravenous Garibaldini pours into their rooms, until at last some, dead beat, and every particle of food consumed, have been compelled to close their doors, in order to snatch a brief, and assuredly a troubled repose. The rumour which has prevailed during the last few days that Austria was about to cede Venice to Italy at the instance of France has, I am bound to state, been received with marked disfavour. What the Italians desire beyond Venetia they them selves apparently are unable clearly to express ; but there can be no doubt that, combined with a thirst for vengeance, there is a feeling that after such great preparations and so much assertion there would be something almost discreditable in obtaining their end without fighting for every inch of the ground. Had the Austrians gained a similar victory in Ger many to that which opened the campaign in Italy less would have been heard of this stern and indo mitable resolve ; as matters stand, however, with the Prussians in the heart of Bohemia, it is not sur prising determination to free the country from the A ps t o prining that the It a li ans s h ou ld proclaim aloud their the Adriatic, without any further f oreign interven• tion even of a peaceable kind. for the first time, and g d ati er lrfee tile guns of the fort. anchoredgun boats A At st Salo eaimm t em h d i es doutia morningtimmediately ythhe nl i positionn line th ae of goapmp the oe saitt Italian itveersyi dloenogf between them and the Thi s futile cannonade is kept up at the Austrian batteries w . bowlsSi Since theyhas took up u g p o t ih h ni is t on more than five miles, and seems rather intended as a mutual defiance than as a serious at owanerdfuhl,avheavneortemasainyeedt tempt to injure on either part.

From what I hear • • i•t is unlikely that any important attack will be at made present, butthat acontinuous system of outpost warfare will be kept up in order to prepare the troops for that stiffer work which they have before them. I have been particularly requested by some of the Italian officers who were present to mention the extraordinary gallantry dis played by our countryman, Mr. Bullock, in the late affair at Monte Suello ; he assisted in rescuing the wounded under the very hottest fire, and continued his exertions in the most noble manner for upwards of two hours. It is most gratifying to an English man to hear the enthusiastic way in which all speak of his conduct. The volunteers who were engaged had marched many miles before they came up to the attack, and this will probably account for the fact that the result of the action was not so favourable -- - as, under other circumstances, it would have been ; the Garibaldini hold now the position of the enemy. The order of the day is laconic enough :—" The enemy is in retreat ; our men occupy Monte Snell°, Caffaro, and Bagolino. G. GARIBALDI." p a il Mall Gazette. • 1 10 1,3° 1051 98; i 00i 1 81& 4
