ONEY MARXET COI4I''ZP.C.!iAL Taalr.lST-'IGENC. :';:: The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed steadily, and a moderate business doing, without any change in prices. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,000 taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The Railway Share Market closed quiet, and prices of all the leading shares were on the decline. Accounts from Lyons state that the manufacturers there find a difficulty in obtaining a sufficient quantity of silk for their wants, consequently there has been some large importations of foreign silks during the week. Very little business has been done in French silks, and these have brought the high prices of the previous week. It is expected, however, that prices will become more moderate when the produce of Italy and Piedmont is brought intD the market. Advices from Naples and Turin report a limited production of silk this season. Advices from Havre report an active trade in grain and flour, at full rates. Sales of 12,000 kilos. of Brittany wheat realised 78f. per 200 kilos.; 40,000 ditto, 80f. ; 24,000 ditto, 85f. ; and 4,000 barrels American flour 45f. per barrel. The market for coffee was brisk, including a sale of 5,000 piculs Padang qualities, at 128 f. per 50 kilos., and 600 bags St. Domingo at 79f. to 82f. per 50 kilos. The arrivals at the port include a vessel from America With 4,572 sacks wheat and 1,991 barrels flour. The Bank of England Weekly Return completed to the sth inst. is considered of a very unfit-roar able character, a material decline having taken place in the stock of bullion and also in the reserve of notes. It was generally anticipated that the changes would be important, but not quite so discou- , raging as they have proved. The withdrawal of gold from the Bank of England for transmission to the Continent is expected to continue, and it 1 8 stated that the Bank of France is now effecting purchases of the precious metals. The various alterations exhibited in the balance-sheet fully explain why the Directors at the last Board meeting considered it inexpedient to reduce the minimum ; and although money out of doors is still comparatively cheap, it is not improbable that the discount houses will soon refuse to negotiate commercial paper at the quotations now current. If arrivals of gold take place from Australia they Would no doubt exercise a beneficial influence, as they would supply the present export demand and check a further decline in the stock of bullion. The Bank of France Return has formed an import ant topic of conversation in the City, and, although some of the Paris journals endeavour to show that the reduction in the metallic deposits has been oc casioned by extensive purchases of silk, wool, arc., it is nevertheless believed that financial affairs ' .4 Paris are, at present in an unsettled state.

In one or two cases influential firms 20 have received such an insignificant quan- `C 4I ti tY that they have returned their allot ments in contempt. It should be remem bered, however, that a very small number was ig available for distribution, and the only just cause n o f complaint is the delay which has occurred in the t 4 7) allotments. We should imagine that a week would 6 h ave been a trifle, and the expression of feeling i 7 34 W noticed on the Stock Exchange will, it is hoped, 20 act as a caution to the promoters of other joint- - 4( ( ) ) stock co mpan i es. 1 20 , Support has been given to the Ma r k e t f or E ng - 20 4811 Securities to-day by purchases of stock on ig "ccount, as is repelled, of the Court of Chancery ; 100 ,but if it had not been for these operations it is pro- IT , T he there would have been renewed heaviness. .` u The unfavourable returns of the Banks of England 25 an d France, and the prospect of the money market too hot improving at present, have ind uce d p ar ti es toe speculate for a decline in prices, and the market 1 2 V conse quently nae quently has had a downward tendency.

SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock. 1 Peto tric Co. Norfolk Do & gi(ll4. Stekton & Darlingt. The. Risorgimento of ITALY. Turin, of the Bth, publishes two addresses from Tuscany. One of them is di rected to Count de Cavour, thanking him for hi, efforts in favom• of Italy at the Paris conferences, and requesting him to accept of his bust, sculptured by Vela, as a mark of their gratitude. The bust bear: the inscription :—" To Camillo Benso de Cavour, the Orator of Italy, who openly defended, on tht 20th of 'April, 1856, the Italians of Tuscany." The second address is to the municipality of Turin ; the Tuscans express their thanks for the hospitality granted by the former to the two marble tablets in scribed with the names of the Tuscans who fell in 1848 at the battle of Curtatone. These tablets, it may be remembered, had been placed in the church of Santa Croce of Florence, but had subsequently been removed by the Tuscan Government ; they were then sent to the municipality of Turin by those who had borne the expense of having them engraved. The bust of the late Count Caesar Balbo was ' inaugurated in the public garden of Turin on the Bth with great ceremony. The relatives of the late statesman, the President of the Council of Ministers, the Minister of War, many senators and deputies, and several members of the Academy of Sciences and of the municipality were present, besides a large concourse of people. M. Vela, the artist who had executed the bust, uncovered it in the midst of loud cheers and applause, and Count Sclopis afterwards read an apprupriate speech. The pedestal bears the inscription—" To Caesar Balbo, born at Turin on the 21st of November, 1789, taken from this world on the 3d of June, 1853, his fellow citizens." 'Eu. Conn. E.

CHARLES FEIST. We deeply regret to announce the death of this gentle man, who expired on Thursday last, after a long and painful illness. He was well-known and widely respected by a large circle of friends. For upwards of twenty years he superintended the Turf Department of the Sunday Times, and was more recently appointed sporting contributor to the London daily papers. Of the zeal, ability, and impartiality with which Mr. Feist discharged his arduous duties, every person who takes an interest in racing matters is aware. Without fear or favour he ever exposed the abuses of the Turf, whilst at the same time be earnestly advocated the true claims of the na tional sport to public patronage and protection. Many of the reforms which have of late taken place in the eco nomy and practice of horse•racing are attributable to Mr. Feist. By his exertions, too, a system of reporting was established, as complete as it was remarkable, and his zeal it was which furnished the public with full and accurate accounts of race meetings, in whatever part of England they took place, on the very day after those meetings were held. It was in the discharge of his arduous duties that Mr. Feist contracted the illness which terminated in death. About two years ago, after pursuing his labours throughout a drenching rain, he was compelled to travel to London in his wet clothes. A severe cold ensued, accompanied with periodical attacks of rheumatism, and from that time his constitution gradully broke. Mr. Feist's career was a chequered one. He was born in Beverley, in Yorkshire, his father being a clergyman in that town. He was intended for the law, but dur ing his study for that profession in London he became acquinted with many young men who had adopted the stage as a profession, and who have since become famous. Mr. Feist imbibed a taste for theatrical pursuits, and, quitting London, he joined the then celebrated Norfolk and Suffolk company of comedians. On marrying, he quitted the stage and commenced a career as school master at Swaffham, in Norfolk. After a sojourn of about a dozen years in that town, he left it and opened a school at Newmarket, where he lived for a considerable period. Mr. Feist was the author of many schoolbooks, which are now in general use. A large family is left to deplore his loss. Sporting Intelligence. LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING.-FRIDAY.

Cairness Estate, Davidson's Divorce, Lewes, Eastbori,, and Halishana Roads, Conway and Llandudno Road, West of Fife Illieeral Rallsvay, Illaybole and Girvan Railway, Fe - rest of Dean Central Railway, Severn Na vigation Improvement Commission, and Thames Haven Dock and Railway. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition from Pertaub Singh and Bisheu Singh, lardnoniers in the Pahjaub, complaining of great grievances for which they could obtain no remedy. They stated that they held possession of property which had descended to them as rightful heirs, and had come down to them from the owners three centuries ago. O:i the conquest of the Punjaub the Board of Administration recom mended that a fourth of their property should be retained by the Government and that three-fourths should be held b y themselves, Considering tl.e peculiar circumstances of the ;country at that time, and the expenses to which the Government were subject, they did not object to that arrangement. In 1853 the Indian Go vernment confirmed that decision so far as allowing the three-fourths of the properly to be kept by them during their lives, but one-third of the property should pass to the descendants of those Indian land owners. Subsequently the Indian Government refused to confirm' the latter arrangements, consequently the petitioners, who were the heirs of the propietora with whom the arrangements were made, were deprived ef their inheritance, and therefore exposed to penury and want. The petitioners complained of this treatment, which was most unwarrantable towards them, inasmuzh as they stated that, so far from opposing the British authorities in India, they had rendered them good service in Scinde. They prayed the interference of their lordships' house in their behalf. The Duke of ARGYLL said, whatever doubts might be raised as to the circumstances under which other parts of India were acquired by the British, there could be no doubt as to our right of taking possession of the provinces of the Punjaub, and dealing with the property as they thought best. The principles by which the East India Government were actuated were to respect the grants already made, but not to go beyond that. The noble duke here read an extract from the instruc tions of the Governor-General to the Board of Adminis tration in the Punjaub, which laid down as a general principle the assessment of the land for the purposes of the Government. He should state that the property in question was not land, or revenue derivable from land, but grant of remission from taxation on land. The Go vernor-General having laid down in his instruction the general principle, went on to detail the different classes of cases with which the Board of Administration would have to deal ; and the case which the noble earl had brought forward came under the fifth head of the instruc tion, namely, " that all persons holding lands subject to pay fines should hold them for their lives, subject to the payment of one-fourth to the revenue, and that on the death of the holder the property would be resumed by the Government." The general principle was, that the grants were respected as regarded the existing hold ers ; but should not be continued to future holders, ex cept those which had been given for certain religious purposes. It was under these general rules that this case stood. If the claim were conceded in this case it must be conceded in all others of a similar nature, and that it would involve the sacrifice of one-fifth of the whole re venue of the province, the abstraction of which would necessarily throw the whole fiscal syetem into confusion, and render it difficult, if not impossible, to carry ou the Government. He was not in possession of any very full information of the grounds which had led the supreme government of India to decide that this was not one of the exceptional cases contemplated in the general rules, but he would submit the petition to his right hon. friend the President of the Board of Control, and if his right hon. friend saw grounds, he was sure that neither the India Government, nor the Court of Directors, would refuse to reconsider the decision to which they had come. They must not, however, lose sight of the difficulties of the case, nor forget that a favourable decision in this case might involve a similar decision of 5,000 or 6,000 others. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH—The noble duke will recollect that the commissioners recommended that these persons should have one-third of the whole amount settled in perpetuity upon their families. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE urged the necessity of some further inquiry instigated by their lordships, ob serving that if the matter were to end by simply laying the petition upon the table, the whole proceeding would be a farce, and the boast that the house was open as a court of appeal to all subjects of the Crown who corn plained of injustice a "sham." The petition was then ordered to he on the table. THE MILITIA STAFF. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH rose, pursuant to notice, to call the attention of her Majesty's Government to the constitution and pay of the permanent staff of the militia regiments, and to ask what were their intentions upon the subject, and also what were their intentions with re ference to the retention of quartermasters on the perma nent staff He remembered that great exertions had been made during the war to bring the militia into a state of efficiency, and he had heard from the most com petent judges in military matters that those efforts had been eminently successful—(hear)—but now that the force was about to be disembodied, unless means were taken to maintain a competent staff, the force would in a few months be as inefficient, and as utterly unfit for active service, as it was when th e war first brok e ou t. He understo o d that an opinion had been expressed in both houses in favour of keeping up a -strong militia force, not iu numbers, but such a force as in the event of any sudden emergency would form the nucleus of a more , powerful and sufficient force, immediately avail able for garrison duty here, so as to leave the regular army free for foreign service, and also to supply volun teers to the line, who would be qualified at once to be in corporated into the service cowponies. The point, how ever, to which he now wished to call attention was the condition of the permanent staff, and the manner in which it was constituted and paid. He had conversed with many officers upon the subject, and their unanimous opi nion was, that with the present staff it would he impos sible to keep up the efficiency of the regiments, and that it would be necessary to have recourse for that purpose to the assistance of non-commissioned officers of the line. The number of serjeants allowed—viz., two to a com pany—was obviously insufficient to keep the regiment in a proper state of drill. He recommended that the num ber of serjeants should be increased, that the drum maj•)r, the paymaster's clerk, and the hospital serjeant should be retained, and that their pay should be large enough to obviate the necessity of their seeking for other employment to enable them to exist. He complained of the hardship which the arrangement for the disembodi ment of the force inflicted upon the quartermasters. In certain of the regiments the quartermasters were to be retained at the reduced pay of ss. a day, but if it was ne cessary to have quartermasters in one regiment it was equally so in another, and it was impossible fur a regi ment that had to be called out every year for training to do without such an officer. The regulation which re quired the quartermaster to be a subaltern also operated iujuriously in the case of non-commissioned officers, who, being in every way qualified, were willing to accept the office of quartermaster, but objected to the subaltern's commission. The expense of continuing the staff in such a state as would at all times insure the efficiency of the force would be comparatively trifling, while the advan tages which would result were almost incalculable. The Duke of RICHMOND spoke to the same effect. He hoped his noble friend would see the importance of keeping such regiments as he retained in a state of effi ciency. If they could not afford ten, let them keep five ; but for Heaven's sake keep them as regiments uught to be kept, Lord PANMURE said that with reference to the militia generally, Government bad listened with great attention to the opinion which had been expressed by well-qualified persons. The intention was to keep up in each case a certain permanent staff, which although per haps not sufficient for a whole regiment, still would be a flue eus which, with the addition of some non-commis sioned officers, would complete a regiment. With re ference to the pay of that staff, he thought that with re ference to the non-commissioned officers the allowance of 10s. 6d. a week would be sufficient for them, in addi tion to any civil employment they might have. In deed he doubted whether if they were confined ex clusively to military duties there would be any military duties for them to perform. With regard to drawing their rations at contract prices he saw no objection to the adoption of his noble friend's suggestion. The case of the quartermasters had been considered, and he did not think it would be exercising a wise discretion to ap point these officers where the stores to be attended to were only small in amount. His noble friends would see that the whale of the militia question had been care fully considered by the Government. After a few words from several noble lords, The conversation then dropped. THE POLISH EXILES. Lord LYNDHURST then rose to ask the question of which he had given notice. He said—My Lords, allow me, even at this late hour of the evening, to say a few words for the purpose of explaining the object I had in view when I intimated my intention of asking the ques tion of my noble friend of which I have given him notice In a recent publication by an eminent foreign statesman, the Count de Montalembert, he complains in strong terms of the course pursued by the late Congress ai Paris in censuring the Governments of Napes and Greece. He contrasts the course of proceedings on that occasion ' with the silence that prevailed in respect to the wrongs of Poland, and he comments both diplomatically and morally upon the consequences of the ancient treaties that bad been entered into, That learned gentleman en larges upon those topics with his usual ability. lam certainly compelled to admit that, so far as appears on the face of the protocol., there is nothing whatever to show that the affairs of Poland were at all bniught under the consideration of conwress, I know my noble friepq opposite too well-...J have too high an opinion of his generous character to suppoee for a moment that h e could be bileLt upon such a subject. I am persuaded, from the circumstances, that snob an omission on the part of my noble friend is quite impossible. All ow me for a moment to recall to your lordships' attention some of the past circumatapo , cmapecteti with this question. 104 f 27 9; 5{ 111 i 62i i 971 8 109 107 i 7 2 106 i 331 4i 3i 82i i i 74 3/ 82 I* )1 1 5i 211 4 14 t i i 24 3 120 4f 1 50 25j 8i ;it ri 1 51 45i 50 15 601 30 4i g Pm pm 964 d 110 11 11411 x d 2 6-1,- 6 6 b i --- The late congress represented the sovereigns ; who were also represented at the Congress of - Vienna TO 1845. We now vole well that one of the most importar4'suejecte considered at the Congress of Vienna wasanearrange tnent in respect to Poland. There was then a clear and unanimous conclusion come to Up - in this point. •It was agreed upon, in about a month, after a l o ng • struggle, that the ducky of Wareaw' should - be raised into.e king dom, and that the Crown should be conf Empe ror of Russia for the ti me be ing : Bitt . there was en on the ed•np then an exp ress ar.d oistinct condition, insisted upon with great earnestness by all .the parties• to the treaty, and by another personage, perhaps, with Still greater earnestness, that other being Viscount. Castle reagk—that condition was, that Poland should remain a separate kingdo m ; that she should nut be irm irporated with the Russian empire ; that the national institutions of the country should bo observed ; that Pelarel should have a repr sentativ e assent ti! ‘ y ; that the administration of her fitianc'at department ai.cl her army should also be maintained !distinct. These, my lords, were the terms and conditions which were thought necessary to be imposed absolutely under the general arrangements. The Empe ror Alexander swore to the observance of those c:andi dons. Nicholas a , s ) swore to the observance of those conditions, but lie afterwards disregarded the oath he had taken, he e. ti faith . w r their mo-t earnest teeoes a. . t ieh i t c h , : epics, l eua r n d o i t e w as i o th f notwithstanding ng th h e incorporated the territories of Poland in the empire of I Rus s i a , and made them an integral part of the Russian empire. From the period of Alexander's death, Nicho las passed a series of laws; the object of which was to extinguish Poland both in name and character. The great institutions at Warsaw were trans ferred to St. Petersburg. Tue universities of Warsaw and the other cities of Poland were abolished. The na tional schools wereabolished or remodelled, and thousands of the inferior orders of nobles were transported to dis taut parts of the Russian empire. The language of Rus sia was introduced into the laws of Lithuania andofother Polish states, and i n t o ever y sc h oo l o f the empire per sons were appointed to instruct the people in the Russian language, and the press of the country was altogether prohibited.. Everything was placed under Russian command. All these circumstances must have been present in the mind of my noble friend at the time of the congress. And the more so, when he recollected that in the last year of the war we had been engaged in forming a Polish Legion, which was to be cone mended by the most eminent of the exiles. Under these circumstances it is, I say, impossible that my noble friend opposite could have been silentupon this question at the congress, and for the reasons to which I have re ferred. My noble friend must then have brought under view of the plenipotentiaries of Russia the existing state of Poland, end must have earnestly remonstrated with them upon the subject. I entertain no doubt what ever of the course that was then taken by my noble friend, but the result, I am sorry to say, has been most unsatisfactory. No substantial issue, it appears, has at. tended the remonstrances of my noble friend. So far from that being the else, the government of Russia has taken every pains to convince Europe and the inhabi tant-. of Poland that it will not allow any intervention with respect to that territory or with respect to the mode in which it is governed. Why do I say this, my lords ? I refer to what has recently taken place at Warsaw on the visit of the Emperor of Russia to that place, and to the language which was held on that occasion to the two assemblies that met for the pur pose of welcoming him on his entry. Those two as semblies, the assembly of the ciergy and the assembly of the nobles, the latter beaded by their president, were on that occasion addressed in a very short, pre cise, and emphatic speech. The Emperor said no thing could induce him to dePatt from the policy pre viously adopted with respect to Poland. Re declared it was for the interest of Russia that Poland should form a part of the Russian empire —a part of the Russian family, adding also that it was for the interest of Poland. This was followed by a slight murmur. lie continued, "En tertain no illu-ions, or it yen do keep them within your selves, and let them lead )ou to only noble aspirations. For if they go beyond that, I nho care rew I,rd can also punish, and if a necessity occurs I willpuniee." But, above all, in concluding tits l itecti—" no vieienary dreates—no visionary dreams." My lords, nothing can be more marked than this speech ; nothing more marked than, tke policy intended to bit atlepteit, And I meet therefore re gret that ehatever passed between my noble friend aid the plenipotentiary of Russia at the congress hag not been atteuded with any beneficial result. But, my lords, that is only part of the subject to which I would' call at tention. At the congress my noble friend expressed as_trong and earnest desire that at, amnesty should be granted by the King of Naples far political "'ifglees. then im poseible to suppose for a mo iient that my noble friend did not urge that an amnesty should also be extended in fa vour of the Poles. My noble friend does not ,give any signs of assent at this moment ; but I am persuaded he must have urged the necessity of such an amnesty. My lords, I say what is called au amnesty has been granted, for " it keeps the word of promiee . eo the ear, but breaks it to the hope.".. Everything that deserves to be called an amnesty shauld be of a compreliensive character. It should be general—it should be precise in its terms ; while as to any exceptions they should be distinct and clear, and be of such a nature as to be justified in the opinion t'of Europe. Now, try this amnesty by this test. It is stated that those who had left Poland should be free upon their return from indictment and prosecu tion. But under what circumstances are they to return —what are their limits ? Every person who desires to return is in the first insiaiice to present a petition ; he must state u n d er w h at circumstances he left the territory of Russia, and he must state minutely every. thing that occurred to him from that. period (he wn to the moment of his return. If the offi:n es , o _ then . the governme n t i s sati-fled with his ex pl anat i ons, only is he to be permi , teci to avail himself of the atnnestyeu; and he is to h ave hi s c i v i l rights restored to him.. .But,. my lords, we all know that there was a sweeping coitus cation of the property of the emigrants ; still not-a word is said of the restoration of that property, or any pared it. So that any man who is allowed to return will re turn houseless, an outcast, and penniless. Such is . the amnesty, so far as he is concerned. And what is hiasitrusi tion after his return ? He is for 3 years under the surveillance of the Russian police (and every - one . knows what is the position of a person under the Aurveii lance of the Russian police); and at the expiration of that - • perini, if the official reports are favourable to him, he is allowed to be a candidate for official employment. But, my lords, there are exceptions. I have stated, excep. tions ought to be welt defined. The exceptions- here, however, are of the most vague and unsatisfactory kind. No person is allowed to return who has exhibited a • spirit of hostility to the Russian Government. A.ad who is to decide the sue* in of hostility against thet Russian Government? The fficers of tl e Russian Go vernment! Me lords, ,what can be more unsatiefaretory than a provision of this kind ? But there i s o ur , more point to which I must. call attentiou. We all know thet in the struggl e f or t h e i ndependence of Poland some of its most disting u i s h e d i nhabitants were made poners, and were sent on f oot in chains to the deserts of S ris iberia. • ' No part of the amnesty comprehends any of that class. . Are you then surprised when you are told that the most eminent of the Poles have refused to avail themselves of this amnesty. They have stated so in a resolution to which I shall call yo ur l or d sh i ps ' attention, if my noble fri en d shall think fit to lodge a copy of thesiethpgapreearst purpoopnrietthye table of the h o u se . T he Poles say, w " We do not o bj ect to this amnesty 'from personal cone siderations, but upon principle. If we were to avail our selves of this amn es t y we should admit the injustice of our conduct in stru gg li ng for the preservation of the rights of our country, and we should admit the 'natio() of the proceedings which braesbey refuse taken ° a n y eat atihDesjnussel:esOonf this ground, therefore, the amnesty, and in doin g so I think they have acted. with the greatest propriety. If my noble friend did exert himself at the congress on behalf of Poland I the result of his interference must not only have , been morti fying to himself, but offensive to the Government which he represented. My lords, it may be said, and I dare say it is said, to be very inconvenient to bring forward a question of this kind at the present moment. Ido not at all subscribe to that opinion. The Government of the country is not responsible for anything that falls from me. lam not speaking as the representative of any party ; 1 speak my own opinions, though I am sure, in delivering those opinion:, I speak in accordance with the sentiments of all honest and intelligent men in this country, as well as in Europe.

(Loud c h eers.) I wish, therefore, pp to put to m y t a noble friend opposite the question of which I have given him notice, whether be has received any official commu nication of the recent act of amnesty in favour of the Polish exiles by the Emperor of Russia ; and, if see whether h e w ill lay a copy of it on the table of the horese'; and wheth er h e will explain t the house and th e try wheth er any, and what steps were taken dur' ' • recent congress f or t h e purpose of mitigating ttt incouis. e neisfoieg the. tunes of the inh a bi tants of Poland ? • The Earl of CLARENDO.N—My lords, when the -• amnesty to which my noble and learned friend has . • called your attention was published, we had neither any diplomatic or consular agents in Russia,. and, consequently, we have received no copies of it tha we can lay before Parliarneet. But the amnesty ham been published in the newspapers, and I have no doubt it is correctly given, and, therefore, that this observations of my noble friend have reference to ni l/i t has actually taken place. My noble friend 'was required to make no apology for bringing this question under your lordships' consideration. He says .I ' . ' truly that be speaks as an independent member of thin house, and that he belongs to no party ; that he is pence nally responsible for what he says, and that he thought it his duty to lift up his voice asaihst what he charactss Lied as injustice and oppressiun.
