461-Tiik kARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. t T he Money Market presents signs of activity and being A large number of first-class bills are ~elng brought forward for negotiation, but the rates short -d a t ed to range from 8 per cent. for the very best is descriptions. No feature of importance 118 noticeable, but the fine weather induces cheerful ness, and were it not foi the adverse tendency of the the exchanges, and the disclosures respecting e Birmingham bank failure, more confidence woad be displayed. At the Bank of England on Saturday there was an influx of X 31,000, and a withdrawal of £136,000 for the Continent. The accounts f rom th e var i ous man ufacturing dis „incts for th e past week have genera ll y b een unsatis aet°rY• At Manchester the late slight improve ment in the value of cloths and yarns has not been In aint ained, while i n th e w oollen trade of Leeds, Br adford, and Huddersfield only moderate dealings h ave taken place in seasonable goods. The hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham hav e remained very qu i et, w hil e a t Birmingham, Sheffield, a n d W olverhampton 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. Two o'CLocx. AA the P ar i s B ourse t hi s morn i ng , acco rding to Re tlter 's telegram, the French Rentes were 68f. AU, all offered. Business in the Corn Market to-day remained ve ry quiet. Th ere were only limited supplies of 4° lne-grown wheat on offer, but the condition was generally good, and prices underwent no material alteration. are present qu otations of the Consol market i per cent. lower than at the close of busi. tesa on Saturday afternoon. The beneficial effect o: the change of Mi n i s t r y 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 politics, and the highly favourable Veather for the harvest. At the moment of our *writing Consols are 871 1 for money, and 871 1 for th e 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 ; Bank Stock is 245 ; and India 5 per Cents. 1021 103. Foreign Stocks are generally at lower rates.

Spidgeons, and John Thompson were brought up on remand charged with conspiring to defraud the Provincial Union Assurance Company, of which Spidgeons was the Sheffield district agent, and the other prisoners sub-agents or collectors. The evidence went to prove that the prisoners had submitted for the payment cards of the Provincial Union those of the Sheffield and Lincoln, and that they had sent peisons with proposal forms of the Provincial to be examined by the medical officer of the Union, whilst at the same time they were re ceiving money from them on behalf of the Sheffield and Lincoln. The magistrates committed the prisoners for trial. SOMETHING LIKE A CHARMED LIFE.—The Dantzio 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, and one knocked of a piece of nail. MARKE T S.---This Day. MARK-LANE. The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur day was very inactive at drooping prices. 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 Continent the demand for wheat was inactive at late rates. Spring corn is in limited request at last week's currency. At Now York very little business is doing in wheat and flour for export 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 g rain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad consisted of 28,967 quarters of wheat, 13,965 barley, 50,919 oats, 10 rya, 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. P r i c es 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 at barely late rates. English barley was in short supply, but the s how of f ore ign produce was good. T he trade was very quiet, at drooping prices. Malt changed hands to a limited extent at late rates. Oats were 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. -- - - CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASURE.

The French beasts were good, and some of them sold at from ss. to ss. 2d. per 81bs. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were only moderate. Most breeds come to hand of full average weight. The demand was heavy, at a de cline in the quotations compared with Monday last of 4d. per Sibs. The general top figure was 5s 4d, but very su perior beasts realised 5s 6d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, &c., we received 500 Scots, short-horns and crosses; from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire 1,300 short- fr horns; from other parts stots of England, 200 variou s breeds ; om Scotland 31 and crosses ; and from Ireland 40 oxen and heifers. With English sheep we were but moderately supplied. Most breeds, however, were tolerably prime. The de mand for them was in a sluggish state, on rather lower terms. The best Downs and half-breds were disposed of at 6s. per Sibs. Lambs were in fair average supply, and f air request, at from 6s Bd. to Ss per 81bs, being late rates. The show of calves being extensive, the veal trade was heavy, a t 4d per Sibs less money. Prices ranged from 4s to Ss per 81bs. There was very little business done in pigs, at last week's currencies.

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.

During the last day or two The Special has not been so healthy in this market, 9 to 2 being freely offered against him. Except that a commission has been executed in favour of Bradamante there is nothing worthy of particu lar comment, as your subscribers will be aware of Nu having been scratched and Surney sent to the outside division. Midia colt, Lucifer, and Black Prince continue very steady. Nothing else doing.

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 — w hen the weather seemed to have an i nfluence on the b u yers, and bidding rose with t he 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. Blenkiron that such almost fabulous and quite absurd prices would be realised on this occasion. And yet the sale was ft 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 we 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 honours of the highest 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 head 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 llandricardo—Merry Wing, but not being "fash ionabl y '' 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 bought by Mr. Reeves, to go abroad, for 400 gs. We have before 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.

TROTTING MATCH FOR £2o.—On Saturday a match came off at Willesden, between Mr. O'Brien's Ro setta and Mr. Deacon's Heartsease, to trot one mile out for £2O, which was won by the latter.

Heathcote, and C. H. Carew, Esquires, and there is every probability of success rewarding the promoters, who intend to give a liberal amount of added money. LORD ST. VINCENT v. EDWIN PARR.—The Master of the Court of Queen's Bench, to whom this action was referred, has made an award in Lord St. Vincent's favour, finding a balance of £lB2 due to his lordship from the defendant, who is ordered to pay the costs of the reference. Newton Abbot. Races are announced to take place on Thursday ant 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 Ilaldon, will not be held this year. We 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 them with his company at luncheon during his visit to York, to inspect the Yorkshire Volunteers.

GOODWOOD MEETING.—The Stewards' Cup has closed with 73 subscribers ; the Chesterfield Cup, 55 ; the Nur sery Stakes, 67 ; and the March Stakes, 25. PIGEON SHOOTING. On Saturday the final handicap of the season amongs the 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. B. 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 less 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 ag st Ca p tain Baskerville, 8 to 1 agst Mr. Battcock, Mr. Warine Lysley, Captain Digby Boycott, the Hon. G. R. Hill, and Mr. J. Jee, V.C., 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 de Broke ; and 20 to 1 agst any other. Tho 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 " hft," 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 bir ds out of 24 having dropped, the total being 85 killed, and 40 missed. For the third prize there were nine ties, Mr. C. C. Tubbs ultimately winning, the shooting being very good. The following is the full score:— 11 1 1 11 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 10 10 Birds shot at. Killed.

All the answer he got was, " We know all about it, and from that time down to the present no further notice was taken of the matter. He did attempt, in that year 1 (1851), to oppose the estimate for 50,000 muskets in place of those burned iu the Tower, but it was of no avail. The cost of the arms was voted, and now, 13 or 14 years after he had first brought the needle guu under the attention of Parliament, the country had become alive to the efficiency and importance of the needle gun. [LEFT SITTING.I AUSTRALIA. PLYMOUTH, July 16. Messrs. Green's ship Wellesley, from Melbourne on the 26th March, has just arrived in Plymouth Sound, with 250 passengers, 11,042 ounces of gold, and a general cargo. Opening of the New Catholic C'aurch at Kensington. The solemn and imposing ceremony of consecrating the new Catholic Church of St. Simon Stock, Vicarage-place, Kensington, took place to-day. His Excellency the Spanish Ambassador, the Marchioness of Londonderry, and a great many of the leading Catholic laity, being present. The architecture of the new church is that known as the early French, the architect is Mr. Pugin, son of the late eminent Welby Pugin, and the builders Smith and Son, of Ramsgate. The interior of the church is of great beauty, although as yet the painted windows are but partially finished. The roof is of polished oak, the spaces between the girders being fitted in with ethereal blue, showered with golden stars. The length of the church is 112 feet and the breadth 74 feet, although the absence of galleries and other cir cumstances gives it a somewhat larger appearance. The position of the organ, a very fine one, built by Cavaille, Coll, and Co., of Paris, and we believe the gift of a lady, differs from that usually allotted it in ecclesiastical buildings ; in the present instance it is entirely hid from view, it being placed in a special part of the church on the right of the High Altar. The Consecrating Bishop was Dr. Grant, and his Grace the Archbishop Manning attended to assist pontifically. During the celebration of High Mass(Haydn's No. 1) the power of the noble instrument was fully de veloped, and in portions of the solemn service it vividly brought to mind the following lines :- --- the reedy organ's solemn roaring Echoed thro' cathedral cloisters dim, Palpitates as though man's heart adoring Syllabled earth's rapture in a hymn. At the conclusion of High Mass, the Archbishop gave the Benediction, which terminated the proceedings. We should, however, mention that last evening the organ was inaugurated, the players being Father Hermann, for merly the favourite pupil of Listz ; Mr. F. Archer, Mr. Guilmant, of Boulogne ; Mr. C. Widor, of Lyons ; and Mr. V. Strebelle, the organist of the church.

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 teis 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 corners 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, unti 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 suc h 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 indd mitable resolve ; as matters stand, however, with the Prussians in the heart of Bohemia, it is not sur prising that the Italians should proclaim aloud their determination to free the country from the Alps to the Adriatic, without any further foreign interven tion even of a peaceable kind. At Salo this morning three of the Italian gun boats steamed out of the gulf for the first time, and anchored immediately under the guns of the fort. Since they took up this position a game at very long bowls has been going on between them and the Austrian batteries which line the oppositite side of the lake. This futile cannonade is kept up at the distance of more than fiv e miles, and seems rather intended as a mutual defiance than as a serious at tbeomatpst, t th o o i u n g j she l tere d below s h ow n any sympt oms of Bardolino, and have not as yet injure mouncheimthuerre rful have remained ppaortwe. The Austrian cominggun out into the ope n . G un s of heavy calibre are ranged along the Austrian s h ore of the la ke, at the distance of every 200 yards, and an a ttempt to la nd a bod y of men would be w hat I hear it is unlikely any y a o important a atten ded with e normous difficult y and danger. From attac k will be made at present, system of outpost warfare will be kept up in order to prepare the troops for that sti • ffer work which they have before them. I have been particularly requested by some of the Italian officers who were present to mention the played by our t coun ryman, Mr. Bullock, in the late affair at t Mon e 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.
