MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoo The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed very firmly, and, compared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds" were quite as dear, bid. to 61d. Orleans were 116 d. higher, but the supply will no doubt be more plentiful in a day or two. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, consisting of 1,000 American for export, and 2,000 on speculation ; 100 Egyptian, 61d. to 7id. ; 1,000 Surats, 41d. to 4 d . ; and 80 Sea Islands, 12d. to 161. per lb. The Railway Share Market was quiet. The advices from Melbourne by the Red Jacket state that the market for gold was quiet, the quo tations 755. per oz., and the amount brought down by -escort was very large, showing an increase, corn- Pared with the previous year to the same date, of about 40 per cent. With regard to the produce of gold from quartz there was very little room for congra tulation, the process of amalgamation hitherto issued being very imperfect. In order to develop this branch of mining a reward of 10,0001. had been offered in Council for the best improveinent that could be Made on the old system. Trade remained quiet, but confidense was almost restored. According to an official statement the revenue of Victoria dur ing the quarter ending Dec. 31 was 1,301,6131., being largely in excess of the receipts of the pre ',jolts three months. ----- Business at Sydney was inactive, but, as in the case of the Melbourne markets, affairs were in a healthier condition. . Commercial adviceo from St. Petersburg have com e to hand, dated the 28th March, which show that the export trade continues to command the attention of merchants, and large supplies of produce are daily arriving from the in- terior. Tallow was in, demand, and a sale ° f 8,000 casks realised from 138 to 1384 silver roubles per last ; and with money advanced there were buyers at 133 r. to 134 r., but holders asked 135 r., or preferred waiting for the ° Pening of the summer trade. Hemp is less in 2 request, and Stocks are accumulating unsold, which are offered at 241 r. to 25r. without buyers. Lir.- aeocl of middling quality sells at 7r. 90 cop., and boat Sorts 81r. Cubanca wheat is firm and in de 'nand at 84r. to 9r. Exchange on London is 3711. The Havre cotton market during the past week 1 Las been unusually quiet, and the importations from America are falling off. Prices are not much altered, and business is dull. Louisiana of best qualities is quoted at 89f. per 50 kilos., and `A i nferior sorts range from 80f. to 87f. Georgia fiddling sorts are dull, at from 83f. to .; 88—francs. Trade generally at this port bas not improved, as was expected after the announce went of peace being concluded, and the mercantile t C ommunity are waiting with anxiety the decision Of the Government upon the formation of a Trans- S atlantic Steam Company. It is expected that it Si Wi ll be in favour of the united companies, notwith standing the recent imperial decree, to form any Slew financial or commercial associations. t , To-morrow being account day in t he E n g lish 'tnok Market, the transactions entered into to-day are chiefly in connection therewith, but there is ; increased firmness in the quotations. Money is in demand on the Stock Exchange, and the charg e , " continuation" is heavy. Consols for money have been 92; to 931, for the 10th inst. 93; to 93, and for the Bth May 93 -a. The Scrip l a 3 4 prem. The New 3 per Cents. are 92/ to 931, tud the Reduced 911 924. Bank Stock is 213, be- IN I per cent. lower. Exchequer Bills are 3s. for those dated March, and 2s. discount to par for the JUDO dates. The. Bonds are 981 8 7 and the Scrip is 3 premium. There is a dull market for Foreign Securities, and the quotations do nob exhibit much variation. Mexican Stock is steady at 23 to 23k. Grenada Deferred have risen to 71 and 8, and Equador New Consolidated are 15} g. Danish 3 per Cents. era 84 to 841. Brazilian Fives 991, and Ditto 1001. Spanish Deferred are 244, and the l b amaive 71. Turkish 6 per Cents. are firmer, being 161 4 for money, and 102 to 1021 for account. The 4 per Cents. are steady, at 1011. Dutch 24 per Cents. are 631, and the 4 per Ce nts. 94. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign ' 44 E B :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 71 8 ; Mexi can, 22; 31 ; Peruvian, 78 80 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 54 6 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 48 50 ; Russian Per Cents., 101. 6 ; ditto 44 per Cents., 93 95 ; Panish 3 per Cents., 451 61 ; ditto Deferrel, 24 ; ditto Certificates, 51 6 ; ditto Passive, 7i 4. In Railway Shares there is very little animation, and the prices are generally about the same as pre viously. Midland and North-Western are firmer. Northern of France have risen 155., but the other foreign as well as the miscellaneous shares are with out variation. Mining shares are dull, and also the Banks. Australian Agricultural are 1/. 10s. higher. FUNDS THIS DAY.-CLOSING PRICES ( Prom the orwiai Litt. Snainep , done. Bank. Steck • 213 .„ 3 per gent.

CORN EXCHANGE. very limited supply of English wheat was on sale in -day's market. For most kinds we had a steady demand, and Monday's prices were well supported. Over 12,000 quarters of foreign wheat have emus fresh to hand. The business doing was limited, yet late rates were realised without difficulty. The barl e y trade wasfirm, at fully Monday's improve ment in value. Malt was held on former terms. °ate, beans, peas, and flour were steady, without alter ation in value. Wheat.

PRIOR O GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 5 per mills premium (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of St. 17s. 101 d. per oz. for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.29 ; and, the exchange at Paris on 'London at short being 25.371, it follows that gold is about 0.32 per cent. dearer in 14,urt don than in Paris. By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 4261 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per oz. for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.5: ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.71, it follows that gold is 0 98 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. Tbe ' course of exchange at New Ycrk on London fur bills at 60 days' &ght is 1091 per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23 . 40 per cent,, it follow s that the exchange is nominally 0.17 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the pre sent rate leaves a trifling profit on the Importation of gold from the - United States.

PRIVATE BUSINESS The Haslingden Water Bill and the Southport Water Bill were severally read a third time and passed. Mr. DUFF presented a petition from a place in the north of Ireland against the Bleaching Works Bill. The petition, which was read at length by the clerk at the table, stated that certain petitions that had been presented to the house in favour of the bill had been ob tained by misrepresentation, and prayed for inquiry into the circumstance'. Sir We WE BB presented severel petitions frOm North Wales in favour of Medical Reform. Sir F. THESIGER presented a petition from Stam ford against the Oath of Abj sration Bill. Mr. E. LOCKHART presented a petition from Sel kirk against the Oath of Abjuration Bill. Mr. M. GIBSON presented a petition from the Man chester Commercial Association, and also a petition from 165 of the principal firms in Manchester against the Bleaching Works Bill. Mr. BROTHERTON presented two petitions against the Maynooth grant. ROCHESTER ELECTION. The following members were chosen to serve on the corninitt , e to inquire into the late election for Rochester, viz. Mr. Floyer, Sir H. F. Davy, Mr. J. Smyth , M r . R. Inghatn, and Mr Bso.g. EXPORTATION OF IRON. Mr. WILSON, in reply to an hon. member, repeated the answer he gave on a former occasion with respect to the export of inaebinery and parts of machinery, but with respect to the exportation of munitions of war, he stated that to-day an order in Council would be passed, by which all restrictions upon trade and navigation would be entirely removed. OATH OF ABJURATION BILL. Mr. M. GIBSON then rose to move the second read ing of a bill to aeiolish the oath of abjuration and as surance, and, in doing so, contended that no ill could fellow such a measure. The measure was of precisely the same character as that of Lord Lyndhursts, and had the approbation of that noble lord. The passing of the measure which be advocated would not in the slightest degree interfere with the others now on the statute-book, but it would be a relief to all classes of her Majesty's subjects who objected to take that oath, which was a political one, and passed by Parliament to meet a political danger. That danger no longer existed, and, therefore, be contended that the oath ought to be abolished. By a single act of Parliament one hundred and twenty-five useless oaths had been abolished, and not the slightest inconvenience had arisen in consequence of such a proceeding. He had taken the opinion of a gen tleman learned in the law—not a Parliamentary lawyer— with respect to the persons who were called upon to take the oath of abjuration, and he found that all military officers, all common soldiers, and sailors were called upon to take this oath. The only persons who were required not to take the oath were those persons in the Customs and Excise, who were only required to take the oath of alle giance. All schoolmasters were required to take the oath of abjuration, and if the law was strictly carried out at the present time there would not be a single teacher of the Jewish religion—in fact, an immense num ber of her Majesty's most faithful and loyal subjects would be altogether 'outlawed. He might be told they passed the It demnity Act, and by that act you exempted the great crowd, but refused the same ex emption to a member of Parliament. He had been looking over Boswell's " Life of Johnson," and he there found that the profligate person who framed the oath of abjuration boasted that he bad framed an oath which would damn one-half of the population and starve the other. lie maintained that the oath of abjuration was utterly useless, as it was perfectly cer tain that none of the descendants of the Prince of Wales (the Pretender) existed at the present moment, and it was absurd to continue on the statute-book such an oath. The Pretender died in 1765, and the Parliament of that day did not continue abjuring the Pretender, but they took out the word " Pretender," and inserted in place of t h e word, " his descendants," so now that all the descendarit4 were deal, it was but proper that the words, "his descendants," should be expunged, as by doing so the house would only be followings the strict rule of precedent. The oath of allegiance and supremacy, he contended, were perfectly sufficient for the purpose for which they were rent take, and after they were taken it was palpably absurd nsiet upon the taking of the oath of abjuration, as the whole of the provisions of the oath, that it was thought necessary by some parties to retain, was to be found in the oath of allegiance. He had thus gon through the oath, with the exception of the concluding paragraph, which stated that the oath was to be taken without reservation on the true faith of a Christian. If it was the will of the Parliament that such should still be the declaration, then they must submit to take the oath, but he did hope that the honourable member for Stamford would not say that such was the case until he had taken the opinion of Parlia ment that it was intended to impose religious tests to exclude some portions of her Majesty's subjects from their civil rights. If it was wished to exclude some par ticular persons from Parliament, he insisted that it ought to be done by statute, and not indi rectly, for he insisted that no British subject ought to be deprived of his civil rights, except by act of Parliament. (Hear, bear.) The effect of this oath had been for nine years to keep the city of Lonion, to a certain extent, unrepresented ; but it mii,t not be supposed that by mentioning that cir cumstance he was there as the advocate of Baron Rothschild. He was instigated to pursue the present course by his feelirgs as an Englishman and a member of the British Parliament—(hear, heart--and be for one would not allow the fag end of this oath to debar his Jewish fellow-subjects from their civil rights. (Hear.) He trusted he should receive the support of some por tion of the Conservative party in the house, considering that Lord Derby and several prelates had been in favour of the adrui-sion cf the Jews into Parliament. Ho claimed the relief the bill affirded those Christian mem bers who felt that it was a desecration to take any oath. 109 I pm Pm - 116 k 17 10'i 1028 4 71 95j d 1021 I I
