MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL DITELLIGENC CITY, Two o'CLooK . The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed Without any change in prices. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales, including 2,000 for export and on s peculation. In the Railway Share Market there Was but little alteration in prices. The public sales of wool at Antwerp commenced ° l l the 19th inst., when there was a large attend ance of buyers, many of whom were foreigners. The sales consisted of 2,800 bales Buenos Ayres ; 89 ditto New South Waley ; 30 ditto Cordova, 35 Italian, and 140 ditto lamb's wool. For Merinos the prices realised were from 2f. 10c. to 3f. 50c. in grease, and from 3f. 30c. to If. 35c. for washed. Inferior sorts brought from If. 950. to 2f. 85c. in G'r'ease, and from 2f. 95c. to 4f. 10c. per kilo. °Ydney washed wools realised sf. 85c. and 4f. 18c. grease. Accounts from the French wine distrists report a tendency to rise in all qualities. At Pezenas pur chasers were anxious to buy, and freely gave 150 f. to 200 f. for good light wines, 280 f. to 300 f. for black qualities ; from 170 f. to 200 f. for superior pique-pool qualities, and 150 f. for lower kinds, per hectolitre. Fine white wines from Adassam of t are qualities are in demand at 1,200 f., and a small litr es . of 1840 vintage realised 1 , 400 f. per 700 'tree. At Bourdeaux the prices of spirits axe well maintained, Languedoc 155 f. The position of the Bank of England, according t ,° the return for the week ending 14 th June , h as zurther improved, and the charges exhibited com- Pared with the previous statement, has strength ened the expectation of an early decline in the t4 inimuni, rate of discount. The demand for money bas diminished, and the reserve of notes has conse quently increased. The preparations for, and anuent of the last instalment on the New Loan , base chiefly occazdonecl the alterations in the pri vate and public deposits. The stock of bullion is , anger than et any period during the present year, ,td a l e immense arrivals, which this week have ap proached a million and a halt sterling, will neces -441- arugment the metallic deposits in Thread e-Street.

The rates of exchange in some of the continental ti ties have slightly declined, and it is reported that 1;,°1110 small remittances of gold have been made to ranee, but it is not considered probable that any L I ;ge quantity will be drawn from this country. It is alleged that 200,0001. have been received from `° l lstantinople, and that altogether about a million ,P4erling is expected from that port. The Marco Polo is in from Victoria, with 60,787 %noes and 44,140 sovereigns, being of the total value of about 287,308/. ; so that the total receipts this week have been much larger than for a long time past. The shipments, during the same period, %ye not exceeded 200,000/. The Funds are very quiet but steady, the varia tion this morning not having been more than per %tit. A further decline occurred yesterday on the Paris Bourse, but the depression appears to have nen chiefly caused by the embarrassments of l k operators, and the excessive specula I ° ll recently indulged in, but the private a dvices received this morning are of a more 11 serf.al tone, and the downward movement Prices is considered to have ceased. It is ne eeasar3r to make this allusion to the position of affairs on the Paris Bourse, since our own market 14 4 in a degree sympathised with its weakness.

RUSSIA. The Cologne Gazette contains the following from St. Petersburg, dated June the 12th : " The development of the Russian navy, inter dicted in the Black Sea, is to be carried out in the Pacific. The Amoor, Si tke, Ochotsk, and Petro paulovski have with this view become the special objects of attention and care on the part. of the Russian Admiralty. The wooded district of the Lene, and the rich iron and copper mines of Nert chinsk, will furnish the materials for ship-building. The Government is sending out a number of officers, seamen, engineers, and workmen to those parts, and Vice-Ad miral Putiatine has been appointed to super intend and carry out the great scheme. The extra ordinary activity of the local administration on the Amoor and the acquisitions they have made there of territory are well known. But it is not merely in that distant region that vessels are to be con structed ; numerous steamers will be also built in the White Sea, the Baltic, on the Don, Boug, and Dnieper, on the Caspian Sea, the Lake of Aral, on the Oxus and Jaxartes, while flotillas of screw gunboats are to protect both Russian trade with Asia generally, and increase her influence as well as Power in Persia and Turan, that is, in Bokhara, China, and Kokhand. Pre 57i LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock and a Special Jury.) SMITH V. LADY WALROUD AND HER DAUGHTER-FALSE IMPRISONMENT AND ASSAULT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, formerly lady's-maid to the plaintiff, for an alleged assault and false imprisonment. It 'appeared that the plaintiff, after entering the defendants' service, found the tem per of the two defendants not the most agreeable, and left. She afterwards called by arrangement to be paid her wages, when the defendants said certain 'pocket handkerchiefs had been lost, and demanded that the plaintiff should pay for them. She allowed the amount, and afterwards the defendants followed her into the street, and it was then the alleged assaults were com mitted and the plaintiff given into custody. She was taken before a magistrate and charged with theft, and remanded for four days, when she was discharged. The case was likely to occupy considerable time, and when our despatch left Miss Walroud was under exami nation, and from her attitude in the witness•box, and the flippant manner in which she was answering the questions, was of a very amusing character to a crowded court. MUSICAL AND THEATIZICAT. HER MAJESTY'S THEATaEr—Last night a grand " ex tra night" was given for the third representation of " I Capuletti ed Montecchi," with that transcendently great artiste, Johanna Wagner, as the heroine. If any proof of the extraordinary attraction of this gifted lady had been'required, the present occasion would have furnished it, for, despite the unusually great attendance on the regular "subscription nights" during the week, which ends to-day, the house was again crowded to the ceiling. The heroine of the evening acted and sung grandly and beautifully as ever, and was received with the utmost enthusiasm. Her most striking efforts elicited a perfect s torm of applause, aad she was called for with acclama tions at the termination of each act. Madlle. Johanna Wagner was most efficiently supported, as on former oc casions, by Madlle. Jenny Baur, Signor Beneventano, and Herr Reichardt. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day). 1109 - 111 1103 - 105 OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crowder.) LYCEUM THEATRE.—Madame Ristori, the justly-cele brated tragedienne, adpeared last night, for the first time, in Marenco's five act drama, entitled " Pia Dei Tolomei," with the greatest possible success. It was truly a magnificent performance, quite equal to her Medea, and will, weopine, enjoy even greater popularity, inasmuch as the Pia is a much more amiable person than the sorceress of Colchis, and therefore more interesting to the good British public, which always leans to vir tue's side, even though the drama " halt for it." The Pia is an unhappy lady, who, although " chaste as ice, and pure as snow," is destroyed by the villany of a re jected lover (a kind of amorous I,Ego), and the revenge ful spirit of a jealous husband, who loves " not wisely, but too well." The play itself has much merit, and will therefore become more popular than any work yet given by the Italian dramatic company. The house was well attended. OLYMPIC THEATRE.—Mr. James Rogers, who was recently attached to the Adelphi Company, has entered into an engagement with Mr. Wigan, and will shortly make his appearance at the Olympic. Mr. Rogers's position will be that technically known as "second low comedian," and his engagement will be a relief to Mr. Robson, who is at present rather overtasked. CRYSTAL PALACE CONCERTS.—The concerts of the Royal Italian Opera, given at the Crystal Palace, go on prosperously, and their receipts will, no doubt, amply replace, with ample profit, the large sum which Mr. Gye receives from the Crystal Palace Company. We again visited Sydenham yesterday, and, notwithstanding the unsettled state of the weather, found an immense as ern binge enjoying a performance more than usually attrac tive. 4 - 41 3 9i -10 i 6 - 95 - 97 89 - 91 90 - 92 100 - 102 This Court was occupied the whole of the morning in trying a bankrupt, named Avery, for having obtained goods by false pretences. Toe case was not of any pub lic importance. The defendant had been a colonial broker, and the transactions were chiefly in sugar. The case was likely to last all day. Three other Courts sat to finish up the remaining cases, which were of a very usual character. 10 -- 104 16t -17 i 10 -10 i 74 -- 76 191 -- 201 9i -10 i 14/ -- 151 -- id 138 -- 140 POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MISS EMMA BUSBY'S CONCERT. —Miss Busby, a most promising young pianist, gave a matinee musicale yes terday at the Beethoven-rooms, in Harley-street. She was assisted by Madame Clara Schumann, Madame Viardot, Herr Molique, and Signor Piatti, and, with the help of these great artistes, gave an entertainment of no common excellence. The room was crowded by a highly gratified audience. MDLLE. ELOISE D'HERBIL'S CONCERT was riven at Edward Crotty stated that, on the afternoon of the 7th inst. he was at the Coal Hole Tavern, and he was leaving the house when Broome entered and called him an extortioner, a common informer, and ultimately struck him across the face with a spill (a match used for lighting cigars) saying with an opprobrious epithet that he would. never leave him.

THE TUtiKISH CONTING ENT. The following Artillery Division Order by Major- General Dickson, C. 8., was issued on the breaking up of the Turkish Contingent at Kertch : " KERTCII, May 24.—Th artillery of the Turkish Contingent having been ordered to break up, and the several batteries and companies of field and garrison ar tillery being about to rejuin the Turkish army, the Major- General cornmanding the Artillery cannot allow the 136- tin officers who have been employed under his command to quit the force without returning his very best thanks for the great zeal and attention displayed by them in the performance of their duties, and for the readiness and good-will will which he has been supported by them en all occasions. They have, by their judicious management, secured the respect and obedience of the Turkish officers and men placed under their command. "A Division Memorandum has already been addressed to the commandant of batteries and garrison artillery pre vious to their embarkation, thanking them for their zeal, and requesting theta to communicate to the Turkish officers and men under their orders how wed satisfie' he is with them, and with the creditable state of order and discipline to which they had attained. " The Major-General cannot allow Brigadier Hall to give up the command of the field artillery withou; re turning his very best thanks for the unriring zeal and energy displayed by him on all occasions ; the high state of efficiency of the field artillery, and the exceller:t con dition of the horses, and the general equipment of the batteries are entirely owing to the admirable manner in which the Brigadier has performed the duties of his com mand. " The manner in which the duties of the Artillery Staff have been carried on by Major Gosling, Captains Heathorne, Battiscombe, and Lyons, is highly creditable to those officers, and thanks are due to them f,r the great zeal and ability displayed in the performance of their duties. " To Staff-Surgeon Irvine and to the officers of his dt partmenktbe Major-General's best thanks are due for the great attention paid to the comfort and wants of the sick, and he cannot speak too highly of the excellent ar rangement of the hospitals and the great care bestoweJ by Staff-Surgeon Irvine upon their management. " The Major-General cannot conclude without return ing his best thanks to Mr. Bake, the C )inmissary-in- Chief of the Field-train Department, for bii zealous exertions in carrying out the numerous and difficult duties assigned to Lim, and his talent and ability a.; head of a large and important branch of the Artillery service, has been*rnost conspicuous. "C. DICKSON, Major-General." THE CALEtiONIAN BALL. Yesterday evening the annual grand fancy dress ball in aid of the funds of the Caledonian Asylum took p;ac, at Willie's Rooms, with more eban its usual brilliancy and eclat. The dresses upon this occasion wore fay more gorgeous and varied than usual, the majority of them being the same as those worn at the late fancy dress ball for the Royal Academy of Music. The ball room was decorated in the most tasteful manner, flngs and various ornamental devices being displayed in differ ent parts of the room ; while from the ceiling there hung the distinguishing banners of upwards of 20 of the most celebrated of the Scottish clans. The aristocratic pat rona.,.4e usually bestowed upon this ball was not want ing on this occasion, and notwithstanding the numerous fashionable entertainments which took place last night and the unfavourable weather, the attendance was not only numerous, but very select. Four fancy quadrilles had been arranged by the ladies patro nesses, for the purpose of relieving it from the dull monotony of ta military fete, into which it was fast de generating, the fancy costumes having become more and more scarce on the last few occasions, while the military uniforms predominated proportionally. Setting aside the fancy quadrilles, however, this was not the case last night ; for the Buckinghams, Rochesters, Cnarles IL's, and similar costumes from that period, were very nume rous, while Turkish officers, Spaniards, Greeks, E , 45-p- Cane, Russians, and, in fact, representatives of every nation under the sun, mingled together in the ball-room. At about half-past ten o'clock the Highland quadrille, led by the Duchess 3f Roxburgh and Lady Anne Mac kenzie, and Lady Aveland's quadrille, proceeded from the tea-room, in which they had assembled, and took ' up their positions--the Highland quadrille at the upper end of the room, and Lady Aveland's at the lower end. In the Highland quadrille and the reels, the ladies wore white dresses, looped up, and trimmed with flowers, and the badges of the clans, with belted plaids. Tho head dress was of flowers to correspond. The gen tlemen wore the Highland costume, with the distinguish ing plaids of their clans. Dancing was kept up till a late hour in the morning. THE MELTON MURDERS. The convict, William Brown, whom the police are in search of, has not yet been discovered, although every effort is being made to trace him. On Thursday after noon, bloodhounds were put on the scent, and tracked from the toll-gate to a barn where Brown was seen the night before the murder, but no further traces were ob tained. Two or three neighbouring spinnies were searched by both the police-officers and the blood hounds. The adjourned inquest was held at 7 o'clock on Thurs. day evening. Alfred Routen, baker, of Asfordby, spoke to finding the corpses of the old man and his grandchild at 3 40 on Thursday morning. The old man lay against the door in a pool of blood, and the child on a bed in the next room with its throat cut. A pistol lay against the old man, and a bullet which had passed through him fell out of his coat. Mr. Thomas Barwes, surgeon, spoke to finding a bullet-wound and twelve stabs about the body of the old man, and to making a post mortem examination of the two bodies. Jos. Burbidge, cottager, of Thorpe Arnold, deposed that on Tuesday afternoon Brown came to his house, and in the course of conversation asked if old Woodcock lived by himself. Next; day witness saw Woodcock, who told him that Brown had been making similar iu quiries of him. John Carpendale, William Moore, and Henry Read, all spoke to Brown having made inquiries about Wood cock, trying to elicit if he lived by himself. Thomas O'Hare deposed that on the night before the murder he saw Brown in a hovel very near the to:i gate. He said he was resting there. He was taking his shoes off and had his stockings on. The inquest was adjourned until Saturday.

The French and Spani*h Consu and varous resident Frenchmen and foreigners, were present. The Mayor having briefly opened the meeting, a letter was read from the chairman of the com mittee of the moal trade of Northumberland and Durham, stating that that body had voted the sum of 5001, in aid of the sufferers. Resolutions for raising a subscription 6aving been unanimously alopted, a committee of gen tlemen was appointed to csrry out the objects of the me e ting. The subscription list haying been handed round the room, about 2001. was collected, which with t::e 500/. subscribed hy ti.e coal trade, and small i•unis f •o•evionsly k iathered on the , make:, a total of about 7.:ol.—.Newcastle Chronicle HOUSE OF COMMONS. The committee met yesterday, in Room, No. 17; Mr. Villiers in the chair. Mr. Pearson was called, to speak as to the operation of the Sound dues. He said, he was a partner in a mercantile house carrying on business in London and Hull, and exported goods to the Baltic. The Sound Wall very narrow, and the navigation most intricate, and' • these difficulties were greatly increased by the detention at Elsinore, where the dues were collected. The deten tion was the cause of much danger and inconvenience, owing to the frequently crowded state of the Roads. Vessels arriving after clearing time, which varied from 6 to 9 o'clock in the summer months, and 8 to 6 o'clock in winter, were obliged to remain all night, and even when they arrived in the day time, the weather was sometimes too rough for the captain to land with his papers. Ships waiting for clearance were compelled to anchor in the Roads, and frequently lost anchors and cables, which could not be recovered at a less expense than 1001. The shortest time in which it was possible to clear a vessel would be about an hour, but it was generally much longer, often twenty-four hours. There was an additional charge for clearing vessels on Sundays. The ships' bills of lading were implicitly re lied on by the Danish Government, and no dispute ever arose upon them. As to the amount of the dues, assuming a vessel of 200 tons to leave England for St. Petersburg with a cargo of 100 tons of cotton, the dues would be about 255. a ton, and about 81. on the ship, malting 1331. ; and, supposing her to bring back a cargo of ISO tons of flax (the dues upon which would be 7s. a ton), the dues would amount in this case to 681., in cluding the 8/. on the ship. During the past year two other routes to the Baltic had been opened : one by the Tonning and Flensbury Railway, and another by small steamers vide Gottenburg. These placed the shipowners who had to pass through the Sound, and consequently to pay the dues, at a great disadvantage. Coals were exempt from the dues, but not machinery. The total expense on a ship of 200 tons might be taken at 1/. per ton. This would include the Sound dues paid by ship, light dues, wages of crew, and every other expense of the voyage to St. Petersburg, and a fair profit to the shipowuer would be 2001. If the American ships and cargoes were to be exempt from dues, while others had to pay them, the result would be to throw the whole carrying trade into the bands of the Americans. By Mr. Bramley Moore—He was aware that an American ship had last week attempted to pass the Sound without paying the dues, but was stopped and afterwards paid them under protest. If that ship bad forced the Sound, she could not have discharged her cargo at any Russian port without producing a certificate of having paid the dues. Mr. Thompson, merchant and shipowner of Hull, said he was well acquaint©d with the Baltic trade, and could confirm the evidence of the last witness as to the inconvenience and danger attending the collection of the Sound dues. The expense ultimately fell on the con sumer, but he did not think that the 72:,000/., the amount returned by the Danish Government as paid by British ships, represented the injury done to trade by these dues ; for much of the Baltic produce was imported into this country in foreign vessels. There was no doubt that the British carrying trade in the Baltic was declia ing, owing to various causes ; but he (witness) did not ' intend to represent that this was the case in other quar - ters, as he believed the shipping interest was at the present moment in a satisfactory condition. He had heard of the proposal made by the Danish Government for the abolition of the Sound dues, and be did not con sider the terms unfair. Mr. Clarke said he bad been an underwriter at Hull for the last 40 years, and had been in the habit of in suring vessels trading to the Baltic. The detenti9u at Elsinore very much increased the risk, and this was consi iered in the premium demanded. Witness handed in a list showing a number of cases of casualties which had occurred to vessels in the Sound, owing to the de tention mentioned. The average time the vessels were detained was a day ; he knew a vessel which had been kept nut three months. There was a strong de sire expressed by all part es trading to the Baltic for the abolition of the Sound dues. The elnlmittee then ajourned until Tuesday next at 1 o'clock. MARKET NEWS.—(Tllis Day.)

HEAVY THUNDERSTORM AT MANCHESTER.-011 Thurs day afternoon a heavy s t orm of thunder and rain passed over Manchester, the rain descending in torrents, which for some time rendered the streets almost impassable. Some narrow ecapes from the lightning occurred. CHURCH RATES.—At a meeting of the vestry and ratepayers of St. Clement Danes. Strand, yesterday evening, the Rector in the chair, it was resolved, by way of amendment, upon a proposal to levy a Church ra•e of 2d. in the pound, that no Church rate should be made. A poll was then demanded, and will take place on Monday next.—Cemberwell is now the scene of a Ct.urch-rate contest. At a meeting of the ratepayerA, held yesterday, in the National Schoolroom, New Church-road, the Rev. Samuel Smith, incumbent of the parish, in the chair, a motion for a rate of 2d. in the pound was met by as amendment by Mr. Fowler, -,econded by Mr. Box, "That in consequence of the d ec i s ion of the House of Commons on the subject of Church rates, it is inexpedient to make a rate." The motion for the rate having been carried by a small majo rity, a poll was demanded by the voluntary party, which is fixed to take place on Monday.—ROCHOSTEB.— On y•— Thursday last vestry meetings were called in the two parishes of St. Margaret and St. Nicholas, for the pur pose of levying a rate. In the former the proposition was negatived by so great a number that no pol was demanded on the part of those favourable to the rate. In St. Nicholas, also, the rate was opposed by a large majority at the vestry, and a poll having been demand ,i, the result confirmed the previous decision, there ,eing for the rate 79, against it 129.
