X FN - E - IP it lARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENO3, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no change to report in the general dis count market. The supplies of capital on offer still continue abundant. The approaching fourth of the month, however, has caused a little more inquiry in commercial circles, some slight improvement having taken place in trading operations since the commencement of the fine weather—the rates cur rent for the negotiation of first-class paper being only slightly under the Bank minimum, viz., 2 i per cent. There were no gold operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The China, with the heavy portion of the India and China mails, has arrived at Southampton with specie valued at £7,464. The Seine, from Brazils, has brought specie to the amount of £143,558 from New York; the Cimbria has arrived with £12,400, the City of Wi;shington, £,11,000 ; and the Bremen, £lOO,OOO ; making a total of about £267,000. The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the first week in June amount to $95,073, against $107,839 in the corresponding period last year, showing a decrease of $12,766. - - The directors of the St. John del Rey Mining Company (Limited) have received per Seine the following report, dated Morro Velho, May 29 : Produce, second division of May, ten days, 13,397 oitavas ; yield, 6.293 oitavas per ton ; remittance, 21 boxes bar gold, weighing 101,254 oitavas. Two O'CLOCK. The market for the English Funds remains with out any material change of importance as regards prices.

Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 31 32, but the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds have declined I, to 25 25g. A very moderate amount of business has been transacted in the Railway Share Market, but prices generally exhibit greater firmness. Brighton have advanced If, North Western 1, Midland 1, Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln I, and South Eastern ; while Lancashire and Yorkshire have de clined I.

Shipping yarns are also quiet. There has scarcely been any new business offering to-day, and the little that has been effected has been done at lower prices. There is no improvement since Friday in the cloth market. Quotations of all sorts of goods printing cloths, shirtings, and goods suitable to India are lower to-day. Owing to the unfavourable news from India, both from Calcutta and Bombay, of the state of prices in India, merchants here seem deter mined to keep out of the market entirely. Many of the orders in the hands of manufacturers chiefly on account of the India trade, which have kept them so busy for the last month or six weeks, are now run ning out, or are near completion, and it is found they must either produce less, or accept still lower prices. The business of the day has been very small. There was a failure announced here yesterday in the American trade, with liabilities to the amount of £120,000 ; but it is understood that an arrangement has since been made with the creditors. Messrs. J. Slagg and Co. report of to-day's cloth-market : "During the week there has been a gradual downward tendency in prices, and to-day there is a greater in disposition on the part of buyers to operate. Some few manufacturers who are without orders are ac cepting lower rates, but as a rule there does not ap pear to be an inclination on the part of producers to push business." Of the prospects of prices for cotton, which are exercising great influence on this market, Messrs. Ellison and Heywood remark : " Very little change has taken place in the prospects of the market since the date of our last report ; but that little has been confirmatory of the opinion that the tendency of va l ues i s , on the a verage, more likely to be downwards than upwards. It is still thought to be highly propable that, as the stock of American diminishes and that of East Indian augments, we shall witness a marked increase in the margin at present existing between the prices of the two growths, though it is hardly expected to be so wide as the maximum difference attained last year, for the reason that the incoming Indian crop is much superior in quality, and therefore in intrinsic value, than the yield of last season. What direc tion the anticipated increased margin will take will depend upon the tenour of the American advices respecting the growing crop. The future course of the market, then, hangs entirely upon the American supply. It is simply puerile to compare, as ma n y people are doing, the presentsatt of lastistical pos y i n ti a o r n , with and that at the c orres p on ding d infer that, because the visible' supply (that is, the stock here and afloat) is 300,000 bales less, and the current price 2id. per lb. lower than twelve months ago, the present sale of, values is unjustifiably de pressed. It would be just as sensible, and far more reasonable, to refer to the figures of any year before the war, and argue therefrom that the present cur rency is far too high. So long as prices remain above the cost of production, and no artificial hind rance to increased cultivation exists, the tendency of prices must necessarily be downwards, and all such comparisons as those to which we have alluded must be entirely misleading. Besides all this, if the results of lest year's trade teach one lesson more than another it is thatprices were considerably higher than they ought to have been." CARDIFF, Ist. —The steam coal trade continues quiet, and quotations are, not so well maintainel as &ght be desired. From several of the foreign mar kets there is, perhaps, a small increase in the re quirements of buyers, but the resources of the dis tricts are now such that there must be a large addition to the consumption before employment at the collieries shows any tangible increase. To the West Indies and other mail service stations the ex ports keep about the same as reported last week. A tolerably good quantity of Welsh coal is sent to Bir kenhead; but the shipments at that port have ale° somewhat slackened. House coal proprietors are • doing a moderate coasting business, the returns showing but little variation from last year. Th e patent fuel trade is quiet. The ironmasters are re ceiving more orders fdr rails ; but it will be a con siderable time before the stocks at several establish ments are cleared, even with a considerably aug mented demand. Tin plate houses have done but little of late, which is usually the case at the end of a quarter; but there are more inquiries from the United States. LEEDS, 2d. —There has been only a small attend ance of buyers in the cloth-halls this morning, some having probably been kept away by the state of the weather, which was rainy. In the coloured cloth hall plain clothes were slow of sale ; but there was a moderate amount of business done in plain and fancy coatings and in tweeds of chiefly steel mixture shades. In the white cloth -hail witneys and beavers sold most freely. There was not much demand for pilots and hairlists. The country manufacturem, as well as those in the town, are tolerably well em ployed, and the woollencloth trade of the whole dis trict is in a rather more satisfactory condition than it was a month ago. The prices of both wool and cloth are steady. The flax trade is moderately active, and the prices of yarns and threads, conse quent on the high rates of the raw material, have an upward tendency. ROCHDALE, lst.—The flannel market to-day has been inanimate, few buyers being present, and their purchases being small. Many of the Manchester houses are taking stock, and are keeping out of the market. A fair amount of business was done last week, and the manufacturers keep steadily em ployed. There is no improvement in the demand for Yorkshire goods, but prices arc steady, as also are those of wool and flannels.

He was introduced to the citi zens of Wheeling by Governor Boreman, at the conclu sion of whose remarks it began to rain a little. The anxiously awaited reply of the great chief was, " Gentle men, I hope you won't stay in the rain long."--Boston Advertiser, June 19. Tim SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVEiNING, JULY 3 1867. ISSEfI 100 i THE BEITISH CORN TRADE. (From the Mark Lane Express.) Although we have frequently had very cold and piercing winds from the east and north, the weather of the past week was dry, and finished warm and genial. The crops have consequently been making headway, and a good amount of bay has been stacked. The wheat is passing into ear, and no new disaster has befallen it beyond the injuries of winter and the severities of March and May. In ordinary times this season of pro gress would have been one of steady if not heavy decline ; but many localities being pretty well cleared out, prices on the whole have rather mended than fallen worse. It is the same in foreign coun tries. The French markets, e►nbracing in their scope different climates, report variously. Some wheat has been reaped in the south that is reported to weigh 64 to Gslbs. per bushel ; but the oats gathered as yet have been light, and the rapeseed turns out very deficient. Whilst we have had it dry, they have in some places been al►nost floode,l, and the heaviest crops have been laid as by a roller, with great doubts of their recovery ; but the poor and hungry crops have improved. An average yield is still not expected.. There are fears of the same kind in Belgium, Holland, Germany, and Russia; yet no one with anything to sell seems disposed to stand the brunt of harvest-time and the few months immediately succeeding. After all, if compared with last year's unremunerative rates, prices have been high, still in many years these have been much higher, and had any European war been raging with doubtful issue consumers might have bad 10s. to 20s. per qr. more to pay, and we now do not know what may happen in the strange fluctuations of the weather. The present season has hitherto confirmed what we have often heard as to the power of resistance in the wheat plant to almost any extremity of cold, but we shall see shortly whether the variations experienced will have les sened the produce or lowered the quality. New York has lately ceased the retrograde movement as regards flour, but the arrival of more shipmenti of Californian wheat from England has kept the trade extremely dull, and nearly all, grain has suffered with this. Although the present : rates at New York are not likely to be maintained, the clearance of stocks, the bursting of the banks of the Missis sippi, and the unsettled state of the country, seem against prospective low prices.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, TIMES.— The splendid ceremonial in Paiis on Monday is worthy to be called a political event. In the presence of the French Emperor and Empress, of the Sultan, of the Viceroy of Egypt, the Prince of Wales, and other exalted personages, in the pre sence of all the chief Governments of the world, represented by Ambassadors and Envoys, and before a great multitude to which every every nation con tributed, the prizes were distributed to the success ful competitors at the latest and, grandest of Inter national Exhibitions. The Frenchman who cast his eye around that vast and well-proportioned building, on the brilliant assemblage of the princely and the noble, on the intellectual or energetic throng who were to receive the reward of their ex ertions, and on the great civilised society which had gathered to do honour to the guests and the enter prise, had reason to be proud of his country. The reflecting European might be as much impressed with the spectacle as the Mussulman ruler who for the first time has set foot on Frankish soil. It is so Much the custom on occasions to glorify modern civilisation, to expatiate on the wonders of art and industry, and to foretell unnumbered bless ings as the co nsequence of every social gatheiing, that what might be said with truth of this pageant has become commonplace by repetition on less im portant occasions. Every one, however, who has seen the great collections of art and industry at Paris, who has observed the diverse nationalities of the visitors even in this early period of the year, te- fore the real tide of foreign travel has set in, and who has, moreover, considered how great must have display which has b b r e o e u n g t h h t e s i o n v t e e r r e e s i g t n e s x c a l n t e d d p b r y i n t e h e e s c i v ilised and bet-- basic, from the ends of the caith, w"'. ad mit that it would be difficult to exaggerate the interest . and importance of the occasion. If ever rhetorical phrase be excusable, it is in describing a people, a city, and a show which have roused the curiosity of all nations, have impelled the proud, the timorous, journeys, and the apathetic to undertake lengt h e ne d and have made the Court of the Tin'eries the gatheileg place of kings. The speech of the French Emperor is conceived in a spit worthy of the oc casion and the theme. He would be justified in claiming for France an eminent position in connec tion with this great work. It is true that the Ex hibition, being universal and international, i 5 the production of all nations. It is true that some of the most important contribiitions have - been - made by foreign exhibitors. If some nations have in cer tain departments not done themselves justice, while every variety of French art and industry is fully represented, it is no less true that in many parti culars foreigners have shown incomparable origi nality and skill, and their labours are among the chief attractions of the Exhibition. But the impress of the French mind is on the whole. The d'sposi tion of the building, the airangement, at once simple and scientific, of the departments or classes, the central court, the girdle of restaurants, the sureoundnag park, with its wonderful buildings of all kinds, are undeniably French, and foreigners have paid a tribute to the excellence of the concep tion by the readiness with which they have fallen in with the conditions imposed, and the general acceptance which these conditions find now that they are understood an d themprinciples appreciated. It is universally ad m itt e d that though the birlding has no architectural p re te ns ions, yet, enN_roned as it is without and tastef u lly arranged within, the i effect is most pleasing, and that in no building has t been easier to pass whither one wi=hes and to see what one wishes to see. Perhaps no other shape and dis position of building would have allowed such an immense number of objects to be seen to equal ad vantage. We must do the French thejustice to say that they have by their trste and power of organi sation made the Exhibition successful, and that the praises it receives from every sisitor are principally due to themselves. Their share in the enterprise is even greater than is rep r esented by the section they have reserved for themselves in the btrlding. In this latter respect, in the actual contest of produc tion, they may, wh en th ey l oo k upon their country's display and compare it with that of the rest of the world, exclaim, " Nec pluribus impar." French art, French skill in manufacture, French power of adaptation to new branches of industry as shown in the machinery and i ronwor k, deserve the admiration of every beholder, a n d these, combined with the skill which has gi ven a fitti n g receptacle to all the s w p i e m a t k s o n in t h t e h e m n e a ri m ts e o o f f h F is r co an u e n e:f y The Emperor, wonders of the u n it e d wor ld, wo uld justify one who dwells will confer on m an ki n d b y .bringing however, in speaking of the them together nEgi.x h nhig e b d i i t l ip at n ed , chiefly on its unive rsa l c h ara cter, and on the benefits it a . nd giving them common objects and a peaceful He also notices a happy characteristic of this Exhibition—that objects which minister to the pleasure of the wealthy an d the luxurious are com bined with an extraordinary number of contrivances for making necessaries cheap to the multitude. He truly says that "the interests of the labouring classes have never aroused more lively solicitude." " Their moral and material wants, their education, the conditions of life at a 'chaps rate, the" most productive combinations of association, have been the object of patient inquiri es , o f s e r ious study." Phis o:speak, plebeian character of i s much utilitarian that t a is sh n o d, wn SG t 53 a good sign in an Exhibi tion which is to instruct a'l the nations of the world, many of which, little advanced in civilisa tion, need rather the comforts than the graces of life. The Emperor concludes his speech by a patriotic and political appeal which almost rises to eloquence. Of the greatness of France, for which he challenges the admiration of the world, and of which he bids Frenchmen be proud, we have sufficiently spoken. Its prosperity is equally beyond a doubt. The great city in which the ceremonial of Monday was celebrated is not more a proof of th e ma gnificence and taste of the Empire than of the increasing wealth of the nation which requires and can create such a capital. Paris could not have grown as it has except through the extraordinary development of industry which has given fortunes to men of all sorts and conditions, who now come to spend pal t of their time and mokiey in their favourite city. Paris has doubled in popula'ion in our time through an invasion of provincials, even more than through the increasing concourse, of foreigners and those who minister to them. t he third glory of France whichthe Emperor bids his subjects notice is its liberty. To discuss this subject would bring us to a political discussion which on such an o cc a sion it is desirable to avoid. Thus much, however, must be admitted, that the French nation as represented at its elections is satisfied with the order of things which now exists. The Emperor can at least say that France, once disquieted , is now laborious and calm, and can point:to her industri a l ex e r tions as a proof that she now thinks less of revolution and will war. Foreign nations r eciprocate the language of the Emperor respecting the esteem and sym pathy entertained by France for them, and her sincere desire to live at peace with them. Let us hope that in a few years the principle now enunci ated and the instincts now encouraged will produce their effect in the dinnoution of those armaments which now weigh down the energies of Europe.

DISTRESS IN FINLAND.—The particularly rigor ous cold of the past winter, and the long-delayed thaw of the ice on the Neva, have exercised a pernicious influence on all the shores of the Gulf of Finland, from which dis tricts, as well as from Eastland, the news is very sad. At the end of May the fields were still covered with snow; forage was exhausted, and the cattle were dying of hunger. The cold was so intense and the morning frosts so hard that field work was impOssible. At a later period the rivers overflowed, and the land became exces sively wet. In many places in Finland the thatch of the houses has boon given to the cattle for food. The season is still worse on the shores of the White Sea. The snow is still on the ground, the cattle have no forage or pasture, and the peasants aro in the moat disastrous sit uation. 84 91 911 I 1G94 9 190 100 100 160 100 100 Lord Hastings going on third, Fair Wind still lying fouitb, with War close up, and they ran thus until passing the Style turn, where the pace began to tell on Master Butterfly, and going along the Eden side he retired, Lord Hastings being now left in advance of Pair Wind and War.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. BANNS OF MATRIMONY BILL. Mr. MONK moved the second reading of this bill, which was to define the meaning of the Marriage Act of the 4th Geo. IV., chap. 76, to declare the legal time at which the publication of the banns of marriage should be made, to •validaate marriages which might be declared void by .tho ecclesiastical court in consequence of the publication of the banns at an undue time, and to relieve clergymen from the pains and penalties they may be liable to under the Marriage Act.. . Mr. B. HOPE opposed the bill, on tho ground that a Royal Commission was sitting which would deal with the matter. After a short discussion the bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Friday. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCHES AND GLEBES (IRELAND) BILL. Sir C. O'LOGIILEN moved the second reading of this bill, which was merely an extension of the present law with a view to enable the owners of land to grant louses for the erection of Roman Catholic churches and schools, and also for globe purposes. The site for the churches was limited to five, and glebes to twenty acres. By the present law absolute owners of land could grant the leases without any restriction, but limited owners could not and ho proposed by the bill to give that power to the latter, limiting it to the extent ho bad just stated. Ho believed that one of the most beneficial things that could be effected was to give each Catholic clergyman in Ireland a residuum in the parish which was committed to their care. The Roman Catholic Church in Ireland was the religion of the people, not of the State, and, as it could not be ignored, it was but just that some steps should be taken to show that it was recognised by the State, and this could be done by enabling globes to be purchased for them, which would, he was certain, be followed by the best results. The leases, he proposed, should be made direct to the bishop and his successors, and not, as was now the law, to trustees on his behalf. (LEFT SITTING.] AMERICA. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.)
