MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL lIITELLIGENCB. CITY, Two o'CLou, The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, but firmly, and prices of all descriptions were unchanged from last week's rates. The sales were 7,000 bales, 1,000 for export, and 1,000 on speculation—comprising 120 Pernam and Maran ham, 60. to Bd. ; 260 Bahia, 6id.; 800 Egyptian, 68d. to Bid. ; 400 Surats, 40. to fild. ; and 20 Sea Islands, ls. per lb. The Railway Share Market was more active, and prices were a shade higher than on Wednesday. _ _ Accounts from Lyons state that the rise in the prices of raw silks, which has had the effect of diminishing the number of looms at work, is creating great distress amongst the weavers and their families thrown out of employment. the principal manufacturers, likewise, are obliged to refuse many orders, which the scarcity, as well as the high prices of silk, would prevent executing at a rate which would leave them no profit. The adyices from New York per steamer Baltic mention that the supply of money in that city at the latest date was ample for all purposes, but the demand continued active, and the local banks were still contracting their discount operations. Specu lative stocks were drooping, and the Bulls were becoming rather alarmed ; consequently, a further retrograde movement in prices was anticipated. Californian accounts to the 3d ult. represent trade in San Francisco as having improved, and the cereal crops are described as being excellent. The gold mines were as productive as ever, and the diggers, considering the prevalence of the dry season, were doing well. Intelligence from Madrid of the fith inst. con tains the announcement that it is very probable the new Ministry will suppress the law of disamor tisation, under which a large sum has accrued to the benefit of the National Treasury. The terms of this law, however, continues to be executed with vigour, and each day the director-general for the sale of ecclesiastical lands makes his report to Rios Rosas, and to the Minister of Finance, show ing that the percentage of the receipts coming to the Government is on the increase. The tightness of the Hamburg money market is increasing, and the rate of discount is now from 71 to 8 per cent., with a still further tendency to advance. The Bank of France return for the month end ing yesterday is less unfavourable than was ex pected, notwithstanding the decline in the bullion. The amount of bills discounted has diminished, and the advances on public securities have not been so heavy as in the previous month. k The Funds continue very heavy, and a further decline of about per cent. has taken place, owing to a renewal of speculative sales. The condition of the money market still excites an uneasy feeling, and as there is an impression that the rates of dis count will still further tend upwards dealings for a fall predominate. Consols for money have been 94 to 94} and 93i to 94 ; while for account they have been 94i and 94 1. The Unfunded Debt is firm, viz. at 15s. to 17s. premium, and the Bonds are 951 Foreign Securities are without much gariation, but the quotations are generally a fraction lower than they were yesterday.

Sporting Intelligence. no objection was made against Aladdin before he ran lor the Newton Handicap, although the stakes will go to Van Dunck, the bets will go to Aladdin, to whom they were then paid. As this question is of the utmost importance in the betting world, and that such a diffe rence of opinion exists upon it, we have taken the trou ble to examine the laws of racing that bear upon the subject, also the opinion of the Hon. Admiral Rous, as published in his book, "On the Laws and Practice of Horse Racing, in 1850." And notwithstanding that large sums of money are pending upon it, and that great difficulty will no doubt be experienced by many persons who, if it should be settled that the bets must be paid to Van Dunck, in obtaining the money from persons who have received for Aladdin, we shall deal with the ques tion regardless of its results, and, as far as we can, shall lay the matter in a clear comprehensive form before our readers. The Hon. Admiral Rous, in his book, page 98, in oammencing his remarks on betting, says :—"ln horse racing the interests of the stakes, and of bets made there upon, are inseparable, excepting when the winning horse is disqualified owing to a default in making stakes, and this is the only exception to the general rule." By this statement it would appear that bets will assuredly go with the stakes if paid to Van Dunck, Aladdin not being disqualified, " owing to a default in making stakes." In rule 3 and orders of the Jockey Club, law Is, it says :—" In case any objection to the qualification of a horse on the ground of incorrect pedigree or nomina tion is made before the race is run, the stewards shall have pie power of ordering that the settlement on such rase 411 be suspended; brit if any such objection be made after the race, it shall not affect the bets, which must go with the horse that comes in first, provided that he is of the right age and not disqualified by the laws of rac ing." This is the law upon which the argument in favour of bets being paid to Aladdin and the stakes to Van Dunck rests ; but, in our opinion, it does not apply to the case in question. The horse that was entered for the Newton Handicap, described as " late Go-away, by Harkaway, out of Ukraine," although in existence, did not start for that race; consequently, the backers of that horse had no race for their money. A horse did start, which was never entered, and has since been proved to be by Harkaway out of Gretna; therefore, as Van Dunck was the first horse in the race that passed the judge, we think he must be the winner ; and, further, there is no ob jection against Aladdin being of wrong pedigree, or being wrongly mounted, but he is not the horse entered, as we have previously described. This is a parallel to the notorious Running Rein case, for the Epsom Derby, of 1844, where a horse called Maccabeus was substituted for Running Rein, and came in first. The stakes and bets were, however, awarded to Orlando, who came in second, Running Rein not having started, and no such horse as Maccabeus being entered for the race. The following case may be found at page 112 in the Hon. Admiral Rous's book, and few will deny him the reputation tf being the highest authority upon the ". turf" :—" A takes 50 gs. to 10 gs. of B that his horse wins a sweepstake. His horse is second in run ning, but proving the horse that beat him was not qua lified, he received the sweepstake from the person whose horse came in first. Q. Is A entitled to win his bet ? A. The stewards of the Jockey Club are of opinion that the horse which came in second, and to whom the sweep stake was given up, on proof that the first horse was disqualified, must be deemed the winner, and conse quently B loses 50 gs." This is also a parallel case to the one in question. I Learn,Closing Friees %mines, Shr, ra,d. RAILWAYS. OCrtlpan - . this diy. his lay 50 4,11 Bedford ar.d London & Blotchlay _ N.

A difference of opinion being entertained as to whe ther Van Dunck, who ran second to Aladdin for the Newton Handicap, run for on the 18th of June last, in which Aladdin came in first, and Van Dunck second, should take the stakes, and his backers receive their bets, gave rise to some discussion.

To-day's market was but moderately supplied with all kinds of English wheat.

Fine barlsy was scarcer, and held at fall quotations. Inferior parcels, including malt, met a you slow sale. The show of oats was limited, and the oat trade ialpd firm. Fine samples were rather dearer. Beans, peas, and flour were in moderate request, at Mon• day's quotations. ♦RRIVALS THIS WEIL 1 Wheat. i Barley. Malt. 1 Oata. 1 F our.

(From the Daily News of this day.) A bias has of late been given to the foreign policy of the French Government, which is of a nature to excite grave apprehensions for the future. The threats addressed by Count Walewski to the Bel gian Government in the Conferences of Paris awakened the indignation of every Liberal in Europe. About the same time there were dis quieting rumours in circulation, of overtures made by the French Emperor to leading statesmen, both in Spain and Piedmont, with a view to induce them to attempt coups d'etat in their respective countries. In so for as Piedmont was concerned, public opinion was reassured by the explicit decla ration of Count Cavour to the Sardinian Legisla ture that no such proposal had been made to him at the Congress. Still there were some not indis posed to attach credence to the statement that such proposals might have been made but for the Count's reply to a fishing question of the Emperor. It was said that his Maj es ty h a d, in the course of conversation, asked the Count, in an of band man ner, what would be thought in Sardinia of a Con cordat like that which Austria had just concluded with Rome I The answer was said to have been, that a Concordat like that of 1801 would be pre ferred. We give the anecdote for what it is worth, without vouching for the truth of it. With regard to Spain, however, the haste to confer the order of the Legion of Honour upon O'Donnell, immedi ately after his successful coup d'etat, has not un naturally recalled to men's recollection the sus picions entertained months ago that the Cabinet of the Tuileries was intriguing against Espartero at Madrid. It is impossible not to associate with this Imperial sanction of the O'Donnell usurpation the unfair manner in which the French Government is at present holding the balance between Austria and Sardinia. The Austrian newspapers are allowed to denounce the internal policy of Sar dinia as not to be tolerated by neighbouring despotisms ; the Austrian Government, by its sequestration of the property of Sardinian subjects in Lombardy, has de facto declared war against Sardinia ; threatening corps d'armee are being as sembled by Austria on the Sardinian frontier, and Austria is fortifying Pola, and strengthening the fortifications of Ancona, as if that place were to be made a tete de pont to confirm her hold upon Italy. In the faoe of these menaces Sardinia is necessarily driven to make preparations for defence. The Sardinian Government hasdecreed the fortification of Alessan.dria ; and the Sardinian people have commenced a subscription to purchase guns for the fortress. A number of Italians resident in foreign countries are desirous of co-operating with their countrymen in Piedmont in this patriotic work ; and to facilitate the realisation of their wishes, M. Mania has announced that heis prepared to under take the task of collecting subscriptions in Paris. Hereupon, the Austrian Minister calla upon the French Government to stop M. Manin's proceed ings, and is informed in answer that they have al ready stopped them. There was no obligation on the French Government thus to anticipate the wishes of Austria. The object of the subscription proposed by M. Manin was simply to aid Sardinia in preparing to defend herself if attacked by Aus tria. Sardinia and Austria are not now at war ; there can be no good reason for the French Govern ment's refusing to allow munitions of war to be purchased in France and exported to Piedmont. It is not for a moment to be imagined that the French Government is afraid of Austria, and there fore the only reason that can be assigned for its interfering to impede the defensive prepara tions of Sardinia is that it sympathises, and is pre pared to take part with Austria, if she succeeds in fixing a quarrel upon Sardinia. In addition to this declaration in favour of the despotic powers, the Imperial Government is now broadly accused of having abetted a conspiracy on the part of the Prussian Government to wrest from the Helvetic League, by force of arms, the district of Neufcha tel, which, since, 1848, has been recognised as in corporated into the League. But perhaps the most revolting indication of the disposition of the French Government to become the accomplice, or tool, of the Despotic Powers, is its lawless and unmerciful treatment of the Italian exiles, who have occasion to pass through France on their way to England. If Napoleon 111. persists in the policy which the acts now recapitulated warrant a belief that he has adopted, it is impossible the entente cordiale be tween the French and English Governments can long continue. The rupture of this good under standing would of itself afford matter for regret. The intimate alliaace of the French and English Governments has been based upon the principles to assert which they conjointly took up arms in behalf of Turkey and against Russia. We have never built undue expectations upon that alliance. We neve: expected that the Government of the soup d'etat the 2d December would sincerely co operate with England to promote free institutions in Europe. But we sc: w that so long as the alliance continued, the French Go,-ern. ment, like our own, was pledged to uphold the rig: 'At of nations to r ulate their domestic concerns free ` rem foreignin terference. If the French Government ...4 eserts that principle, the English Government must IL: future. act alone, and the cause of national independb: ice in Europe will have received a severe shock. This will be one great evil resulting from the apostacy of the French Government, and the weakening of that good understanding which has so closely allied it with our own. But a far worse evil will be the peril to which the entente cordiale of the French and English nations will thereby be exposed. A thoroughly good understanding between the peoples of France and England is of infinitely more consequence to humanity than mere friendly rela tions between their Governments. Such a good understanding has of late years made rapid pro gress ; but it has not yet been matured to such an extent as to render it unassailable by misunder standings between the Governments. A few more years of increased and increasing intimacy of con nection in industrial and commercial enterprise, and iu social intercourse, would have assimilated the populations on both sides of the Channel to a degree that would have rendered it independent of the waywardness and self-will of governments. But at present hostility and rivalry between the French and English Governments may still have the power to sow discord and dissension between the English and French peoples. Unfortunately, priestly rancour is at this moment co-operating with Imperial egotism to alienate the French nation from the English. Of late years great numbers of English children have been educated in French seminaries. This was a powerful en gine for obliterating national prejudices. But a priestly' conspiracy, of which the contemptible machinations of the Bishop of Arras are only the first fruits, is busily at work to destroy the con ciliating influence. It is for the peoples of France and England to , declare that, let their Governments adopt what policy they may, the nations will remain cordial and faithful friends. The entente cordiale of the French and English peoples is a guarantee for the prosperity of both ; and it is at the same time the only sheet-anchor of the party of enlightenment and progress in Europe. France and England have evidently been called by Providence to undertake the proud task of protecting and promoting the cause of progress and of civilisation. Their discord would threaten that cause with destruction. To our own countrymen we especially address our selves. The more the policy of the French Govern ment beco nes intolerable, the more should Eng lishmen exert themselves to demonstrate to the French people that they can distinguish between them and their Government. Englishmen have occasionally neglected this distinction i n their sin cere but unreasoning eagerness to conciliate the French people. They have injudiciously appeared to take a part in the internal dissensions of France —to become partisans of Nap oleon 111. against his French political adversaries. This is a. sad mistake. So long as Napoleon 111. retains his power, he is entitled to deference and respectful treatment at our hands as the representative of the French na tion ; but this deference and respect are due not to his personal but to his official character. If the will of the French i people were to substitute an other government n lieu of his dynasty to-morrow, it would be equally entitled to our respect and deference. (Prom the Morning Herald of this day.) It has long been admitted as a fact beyond cou• troversy that the genius of the p eople Irish• i s essentially military. Our- own countrymen make indomitable soldiers, and have exhibited, amid the storm of battle, a coolness and resolution which have attracted the admiration of the world. The Scotch are traditionally brave, and possess a capacity , of endurance peculiar to themselves ; and in Scot land is to be found in abundance the stuff of which true soldiers aro made. But the natural aptitude of the Irish for the profession of arms is as well known as aro certain other characteristics less to be prized, and which have given—in days now happily passed away—to the fairest portion of the United Kingdom a notoriety by no means de sirable. Ireland has, however, entered upon a new epoch in her eventful history, and while her soils retain all that chivalrous ardour and that warmth of temperament which have half-redeemed their follies, they have learned, from a long and sad ex perience, the consequences of those follies, and afford constant and continual proof that the stern teaching of adversity bas not been lost upon them ; in a word, that the warm-hearted and high-spirited nation which in war supplies our most brilliant 1 soldiers, is steadily advancing in the arts of peace, 1 and devoting its fine energies to those pursuiiswhich conduce to national greatness and, atal)ility. It would be strange indeed such a people should remain insensible to the achiev ernents of their countrymen in the late. war, elan t shonld neglect that recognition of devoted valou or refuse that tribute of admiration to surpassing •allaa try already accorded in this country. In ow impression of Tuesday last wo published the pr Geeeclings at a public meeting held in Dublin the lay previously, for the purpose of promoting a nati anal banqqet to all the troops now s serving in if,reland who are wearers of the Crimean medal. Whether we look to the character and position of those who signed the requisition and took part i u the meeting, or to the resolutions and the epee iches in support of them, we cannot doubt that it is a national under taking, intended to express a national feeling, to convoy the heartfelt feelings of Irishmen to those who have added lustre to the Irish name while up holding the honour of England in the field. The Irish aristocracy was fitly represented in the person of an estimable nobleman—Lord Talbot de Mala hide. The hero of Chillianwallah was there, and in his effective and soldier-Like speech bore the testimony of an eye-witness to the difficulties so nobly overcome by the Crhnean army. Colonel Browne, commissioner of tbe Dublin police, re. feried to his own Peninsular experiences, and tali the meeting how Irishmen b.shaved iu the passes of the Pyrenees and on the bloody plain of Sala. manca. The members for Youghal and for the King's County were also present ; indeed, from the first, Mr. Butt's name has been identified with this undertaking, and, as we doubt not, the ovation will fully realise the anticipations of its projectors, much will be due to the unassuming exertions of that honourable and learned gentleman. We find such names as La Touche and O'Dwyer, as repre senting the Irish gentry, and William Dargan, as the representative of Irish enterprise. The com position of the meeting, therefore, was very perfect, and the character of the proceedings left nothing to be desired. The manifestation of feeling which followed the disclosure of the object of the meeting, and the allusions of the various speakers to deeds of Irish and British chivalry, were worthy of the occasion. The Crimean campaign closes a long record of the brilliant services, more especially of the gallant re giments raised and recruited at the other side of the water. " I felt proud," exclaimed the member for Youghal, in the course of his eloquent speech, " that down to the latest moment—down to this hour—wherever the arms of England have been engaged—whether it was at the Crimea, whether in storming Sebastopol, or whether it was on the glorious plains of Chillianwallah, Irishmen have given proof of their cour age, and still we may in scribe the names of Irishmen amongst the most honoured of the heroes of the United Kingdom." The hon. gentleman is right. It was an Irish re giment which led the way through the terrible breaches of Badajos ; and, if we remember aright, that first planted the British colours on the walls of Ciudad Rodrigo. It was the Irish regiments that bore the brunt at Talavera and Vittoria. Conspi cuous on the field of Waterloo were those Irish re giments which Picton never could restrain in the presence of an enemy. Conspicuouo, also, on that great day, and in that superb charge which over threw the flower of the Frenchchivalry, and struck terror even to the heart of Napoleon, were those Irish cavalry that "fell like a thunderbolt on the foe l" and in the recent struggle, they were Irish regiments which so nobly supported the move ment against the Russian batteries of the Alma, that sustained for hours the hand-to-hand fight at Inkerman ; and that watched day and night in the trenches, and it was a party of the 18th Royal Irish who, on the memorable Bth of September, first set foot within the walls of Sebastopol : no marvel, then, that in Ireland the soldier is had in honour, and that the appeal of Monday last should find a response in the heart of the Irish nation. Another gratifying feature in the proceedings to which we have referred is the total absence of party spirit by which they are distinguished. Irish men, it is clear, can meet for a great national ob ject, and forget the miserable rivalries and eternal dissensions which have hitherto prevented the growth of anything like public opinion amongst them, and arrested their progress as a people. We accept the meeting of last Monday, witti its ex pression of generous and manly sentiment and its tumultuous heartiness, as a happy omen of the future peace and prosperity of Ireland—as an in dication that the time has come for entering upon a new path, in which Irishmen will feel that they have a community of interests and a national re putation to support—if not to create. Nor should it be forgotten that, desirous as they are to de honour to their countrymen who have taken part in the late campaigns, there is as hearty an appre ciation of the distinguished valour of the British troops who fought beside them, and as warm a welcome for them at the approaching banquet —an ovation which we trust may be in no way inferior to the recent expression of admiration in this me tropolis for the gallant Brigade of Guards. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NORTH BRITISH. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the . orth British Railway was held yesterday at the London . 1 79.yern ; Mr. R. Hodgson, chairman of the the chair. hoard of direct.. The report, white h has already been published, was taken as read. The chairman said he has great pleasure in meeting the shareholders in London une-1 er circumstances much more encouraging than when he last addressed them. This day 12 months it was his duty to tell them that the revenue of the half year must be izpplied to the purposes of the permanent way and the liquidation of old debts pressing heavily on their capital ; and the shareholders, having full confidence in the direction, con sented to forego a dividend, lie had to thank them its the name of the direction for that confidence, and to show that it had not been misplaced he could assume them that the exertions of the directors had succeeded in placing the finances of the company upon a most satisfactory footing. The measures which the share. holders sanctioned last year bad placed their propf-r:y upon a sound and substantial foundation, and their future prospects were mutt cheering. Tee com pany were in possession of an undis2uted territory, with out having any competing interest te. contend against, and so long as they continued to servo the district to the best of their power consistently with the claims of the shareholders, they need entertain no fears about their future success. The plant and permanent way were in a first rate condition, and with ordinary prudence and timely repairs both might be kept so. They had a larg, and continually increasing traffic—not increasing by Sts and starts, but gradually and steadily. This baffles"r it had increased 340/. per week, or 9,000/. for the half year, as compared with the corresponding period of last year, while the opening up of new branches and tribu taries promised to bring in connections with other rail ways that could not do otherwise than add to their to ceipte. Well, then. considering that the line, plant, and rolling stock were in good sottud working order ; con sidering that their debts bad been placed on a liquidation footing, that their capital had been remodelled and equalised ; and, considering, lastly, that the traffic of their railway was yet far from fully developed, he thought the shareholders had every reason to congratulate them selves upon their present position and future prospects. Neverthe!ess, it was only right that he should state that two or three shareholders bad written to complain that the dividend was too high ; they thought it ought to be reduced, with the view of eetabli.hing a renewal fund, but the directors thought the more legitimate and prudent course was to meet their renewals every half year, as renewals became necessary. That course they had followed, and intended to continue, and the ordinary shareholders might very fairly and safely divide 24 per cent. The line could not ho ren dered more complete or efficient than it was rst pre sent, while, since 1852, the passenger traffic had in creased 27 per cent., and the goods traffic 53 per cent. Nor had this increase involved an increase of expendi ture ; on the contrary, the engines daily in steam shwa ' 1852 had been reduced by 30 per cent., and the expenses of other departments bad been economised as far . as was ) possible consistent with the proper working of the line. ) Under these circumstances, ho had much pleasure in moving the adoption of the report. The report was then unanimously adopted, after which a dividend was declared at the rate of 5 per cent. upon the preferential stock, and 2i per cent. upon the ordi nary stock, leaving upwards of 1,1001. to be carried for ward to the next account. A resolution was tben passed, empowering the direc tors to lay down the electric telegraph upon such por tions of the railway as required it. Mr. Kinlock, a director, t oo k the opportunity of m ewing the meeting that the line was in perfect condi tion, and most economically managed. Something had been said out of doors of the claim of the Edinburgh and Glasgow upon this company. It had been put forth as amounting to 65,0001,, but in point of fact it was no thing of the sort. The Edinburgh and Glasgow had already received a sum of 10,0001., and work represent ing 10,0001. more on account of their claim, and when ever they could bring the balance within a fair limit, the North British would he quite ready to pay it. A shareholder asked when the next call would be made upon the new 71. preferential shares ? The Chairman hoped not for some time to come yet ; but no further call would be made without the consent of a special meeting convened for the purpose. A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman and directors, and it having been a greed that the next half-yearly meeti ng s h ou ld be held m Edinburgh, the proceedings terminated.
