IYIONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL rNTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. 2be Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed t ll a marked change at a decline of 1-16 d. per lb., b not lower. The sales amounted to 9,000 bales ' -50 0 for export and 1,500 on speculation— toPrising 350 Pernam and Maranham, 6gd. to j!Ti,(l. ; 250 Egyptian, qd. to 81d. ; and 600 Surat, eto sd. per lb. The Railway Share Market raore buoyant, and prices of the various lead ' Stocks advanced. There has been very little animation in the m arkets for colonial produce this week, which may par tly be ascribed to the Ascot races having at t a cted many of the principal dealers. West India I 4 gar has been in fair request at exceedingly firm Z ees, the quantity brought forward having been i:tiltr limited. Coffee has realised full quotations, ti til; has not changed hands to a very large ex bat, Cocoa has ruled quiet, and in tea very little 1 4 been done. There has.been more inquiry for :like kinds of spices, but cassia lignea is cheaper. 4 blers of saltpetre have evinced much firmness, very little business has been done. Tallow is t la, but quiet. the from the French wool market state that ikt recent heavy rains and bad weather have mili ed against the shearing season. At Loissons ft first produce of the clip has turned out to be 4 bad condition, caused by the excessive humidity t izig injured the staple of the wool. The quan btY thishis year also will not prove so abundant as 7e Year, especially of the finer sorts grown upon hills. On the other hand, the intermediate d ad 3 grown in the valleys will average 10 per tt l t . more than the produce of 1855. The eBB , however, of the fine mountain wools b i e higher, and some lots have already been at 3f. 20c. per kilogramme, in grease, th (t 6 f. 50c. per ditto, washed. For inferior wools tt : Merchants who have stocks on hand are asking 4 1 14 , 2 L 70c. to 2f. 80c., but the buyers are not tined to give more than 2if. The quotations of to Washed wools in the market are from sf. 20c. s f. 70c. per kilo., and in grease from 2f. 50c. to 0 ,,, 80 e. At Marseilles, on the 7th inst., 250 bales wool was sold at 75f. per quintal, and 83 assorted and carded, from 165 f. to 225 f. importations included 275 bales Mazagan, bales Oran, and 209 bales from Turin. 41 , 44 consequence of the expectation that the dis tielltial of Mr. Crampton, if determined upon, will l ucceeded by the retirement of Mr. Dallas, the Ma are drooping, though no decided decline of h nli P°llance can be noticed. There is very little tk i lleas doing and further intelligence from Arne is awaited with some anxiety. Consols are at which they have ruled all the morning. It :Nevr Scrip is 211 premium. Exchequer Bills 9 s. premium. The New 3 per Cents. are I) and the Reduced Annuities 94 to 94k. t o ' o 4sols have since declined to 93f to 94, owing Irunaour that Mr. Dallas has been recalled.

A public meeting was held this afternoon in the Egyptian Hall, Mansion-house, for the purpose of ex pressing sympathy with the sufferers by the inundations in France, and of aiding the subscriptions now being raised in Paris for their relief. The Lord Mayor in the chair. There was a numerous attendance, amongst whom were, Baron Rothschild, M.P., T. Hankey, Esq., M.P., T. Baring, Esq., M.P., J. E. Denison, Esq., M.P., J. Dillon, Esq., R. Currie, Esq., M.P., &c. The LORD MAYOR, in addressing the meeting, apologised for the short notice he had given them of the holding of this meeting, but considering sympathy and relief in such cases as the present, should be prompt, must be his excuse. He was gratified to find that there was a general feeling of sympathy throughout this country for their distressed continental neighbours by the unfor tunate inundations in the south of France. His lordship said he had put himself in communication with the Pre fect of France relative to this meeting, and had received a reply from that functionary, who, after expressing his gratitude for the movement, said be felt certain the conduct of the citizens of London in this unfortunate affair would be the means of drawing nearer together the links of that cordial alliance that bad been cemented by the two nations. His lordship then referred to the great amount of distress existing in France, and which they were met together to assist in relieving, the inundations extending over 500 English miles. He said that he felt certain the English people would always sympathise with the people of France, whether in peace or war— (cheers) —and that they would ever consider it their duty. The GOVERNOR of the BAN& of ENGLAND moved the following resolution :—" That this meeting has heard with great concern the calamity sustained by our French neighbours in consequence of extensive inundations in several districts in France." He said it was hardly possible to estimate the real amount of damage that had been done by this inundation, and they could only have a faint idea of it by considering the whole face of this island being swept over from the coast of Devonshire upwards. He had no doubt but that the people of England would substantially sympathise with these un fortunate people by liberally increasing the subscription now being raised for their relief in France. T. BARING, Esq., M.P., seconded the motion. He said if it had been politic and convenient to have de layed the meeting no doubt there would have been a much larger number of persons present, for there was a general feeling of sympathy pervading the people of England for the distress resulting from the late calamity in France. There was no want of money or charitable feeling in that country, and their object in meeting this day was to show that they felt for those unfortunate people, not on account of the poverty or want of charity in that country. The hon. gentleman referred to the indefatigable industry of the illustrious individual who filled the throne of France, and the promptitude with which he had met this appalling evil, and had exerted himself both by his purse and his presence to soothe the afflicted sufferers and stimulate those who wished to aid them. The resolution was carried unanimously. ft Baron ROTHSCEIILD, M.P., moved the next resolu tion—" That this meeting, deeply sympathising with the misfortune which has fallen on the inhabitants of these districts, desires and offers its cordial co-operation with the efforts now being made in France for the imme diate relief of the sufferers." He was certain sufficient money would be raised in France to meet the wants of the sufferers. The assistance of the people of this country would show the people of France that we have the same feelings towards them—whether in participa ting with them in their pleasures, in conquering a power ful foe, or in alleviating the sufferings of the distressed. (Cheers.) As such their French neighbours would ac cept their offerings ; and the large number of names, to the subscription list would be more appreciated by them than the largeness of the amount of money contri buted. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. E. DENISON, M.P., who has just returned from France, drew a vivid picture of the distress caused by this inundation, and the feeling of the English people there, and eulogised the conduct of the tenant farmers of England who were In Paris attending the Agricultural Exhibition, who, on learning of the dis tress, laid aside their business of pleasurable pursuits, and commenced a subscription for the sufferers. (Cheers.) The resolution was also carried unanimously. Mr. J. B. HEATH moved the third resolution : "That with this view a committee beformed, under the superintendence of the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of receiving bubscriptions and transmitting them to Paris." He trusted the people of France would not receive this interference as arrogance or ',resumption on the part of the people of this country, but as it was intended a cor dial and sincere expression of sympathy. (Cheers.) Mr. J. DILLON seconded tho motion. He said their object was to cement the alliance between the two coun tries. For years they had respected each other, now let them love each other. (Cheers.) The resolution was agreed to unanimously. A committee was then formed, and subscription lists directed to be opened at the various bankers in the me tropolis. Thanks were voted to the Lord Mayor, who returned thanks, and the meeting separated. Between 4,0001. and 5,000/. were subscribed before the commencement of the meeting. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. A very limited supply of English wheat was on sale in to•day's market. For all kinds we had a steady demand, at fully Monday's advance in the quotations -indeed some holders refused to sell except on higher terms. The show of foreign wheat was very moderate. Although there was less activity in the trade than on Monday that day's currency was well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in good request, both for France and Belgium. Scarcely any barley was in the market, and fino quali ties were rather dearer. Malt sold slowly, on former terms. We had a good demand for oats, the valuo of which had an upward tendency. Beans, peas, and flour realised extreme rates. ♦RRIVALS THIS WNIUS.. Barley. Malt. Oats. Fhnr 20 2,070 20 990 Wheat. 1,640 Lnglish ..

IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN T. HOUSE OF LORDS—{This Evening.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack lit 5 o'clock. THE IRISH MILITIA. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE rose to put a ques tion to the noble lord at the head of the War Depart ment, with respeßt to the Irish Militia. If the disem• bodiment of the Irish militia was to take place at the period at which it was intended, the effect would be that great distress would arise, and large bodies of the men would, no doubt, emigrate. The question he wished to ask the noble lord was, whether it was in tended to disembody the Irish militia before the harvest ? Lord PANMURE said it was intended to treat the Irish militia precisely in the same manner as the Eng lish and Scotch. The men of the regiments that had been disembodied had expressed themselves satisfied with the whole of the arrangements. With respect to the Irish militia, he did not anticipate any of those evils which the noble lord had alluded to would arise. OUR RELATIONS WITH AMERICA. The Ear) of DERBY rose to put a question to the aob!e earl the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. It had been stated that within the last few days very im• portant intelligence bad been received from the United States. He wished to know whether our Minister in America had received his passports ; and also whether the excquatur of three of our Consuls had been withdrawn. It such information had been received, he wished to know when the communication would be laid on the table ; and also the course the Government intended to adopt ? The Earl of CLARENDON said the day before yesterday Mr. Dallas communicated to him a despatch which he had received from his Government, which contains a statement to the effect that the explanation of this country on the Enlistment question not to infringe in any manner the law o the United States was perfectly satisfactory. With regard to Mr. Otarnpton the despatch was not so ratisfactory ; it stated that the President considered that gentleman an unacceptable mini ter, and had accordingly sent him his passport=, and had withdrawn the exequaturs of three British Consuls. The Government had not finally determined on the course they would ultimately pursue, but when they bad done so, their lordships would be put in possession of the information. Mr. Dallas had also showed him another despatch respecting Central America, which stated that the services of a third power as arbitrator might possibly lead to a set tlement of the question. [LEFT BITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.) The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were severally read a third time and passed :—London and Enniskillen Railway ; Lon don Printing and Publi•bing Company ; Salisbury Market Branch Railway and Market House ; Worn and Bronygarth Roads. The Lewes, Eastbourne, and Hailsham Road Bill was considered and ordered to be rea I a third time. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION. Lord J. RUSSELL brought up the second report of the Ecclesiastical Commission. The report was ordered to be laid on the table. SAVINGS BANKS (IRELAND). Captain D. O'CONNELL asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he intended to bring in a bill this, or early next session, for the better regulation of saviegs banks ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the subject had been well considered, and he agreed that legislation on the subject was much wanted ; but it was not the intention of the Government to bring in any measure during the present session. THE RIOTS AT MALTA. Captain O'CONNELL asked if the correspondence that had taken place between the Government at home and the authorities at Malta relative to the riots there, in which the Italian Legion were concerned, and the murder of the police director, would be laid on the table ? Mr. LABOUCHERE said he did not think it would be desirable to produce the correspondence at the present moment. MARINE OFFICERS. In reply to a question from Colonel Buck, Sir C. WOOD complained of questions of this descrip tion being put, as with littla trouble the facts might he ascertained. He thought that the marine officers in the late war h9,d done their duty. He did not think they ought to be excluded from promotion ; and they had not been excluded. The number of marine officers that had received brevet promotions in the Baltic fleet was S ; in the Black Sea fleet, 10. rHE ITALIAN LEGION. Captain O'CONNELL asked the Under-Secretary for War if it was true that the Itslian Legion was doing gar rison duty at Malta ; and what was to be their ultimate destination or disposition Mr. F. PEEL said he had received private informa tion that the Legion had done duty at Malta, such as mounting guard. It would be disbanded in a similar manner as the other regiments, and the men would have the option of either returning to Italy or going to one of the colonies. OUR RELATIONS WITH AMERICA. Mr. DISRAELI wished to ask the noble lord at the head of the Government whether information had now been received as to the cessation of diplomatic relations between this country and the United States, and also whether he bad heard that the exequatur of several of our consuls had been withdrawn in that country ; and, in the event of such information having been received, what course it was intended to adopt ? Lord PALMERSTON said that his noble friend at the head of the Foreig❑ Office received, late in the even ing of the day before last, two despatches addressed to Mr. Dallas by Mr. Marcy. One upon the subject of the Recruiting question, and the other on the subject of Central American affairs. The question of the right honourable gentleman related to the first question, and to that he (Lord Palmerston) would address himself. It appeared from the despatches in reference to that question that the United States' Government, though perfectly satisfied with the explanation offered by her Majesty's Government, and conveyed in Lord Claren don's dispatches relative to the course they bad pursued in that matter, and although the American Government deemed these explanations as settling that question, so far as her Majesty's Government was concerned, never theless, for reasons which the United States' Govern ment alleged, and on documents of which they had sent copies, they did not express themselves equally well satisfied with the course pursued by her Majesty's Minister at Washington, and the three Consuls at Cin cinati, Philadelphia, and New York, and the United States Government had expressed to our Government, through Mr. Dallas, their intention of delivering the proper passports to Mr. Crampton, and of revoking the exequatur of these three consuls. As to the course her Majesty's Government might deem it right to take, it would be premature for him (Lord PAlmerston) to state, the Government not having yet had time to consider the subject. (Hear.) Mr. BAILLIE said he understood the army estimates were to b 3 taken on Monday, but as he had no wish to interfere with the passing of the votes connected with them, he would be happy to meet the Government by taking a discussion on some other evening in the week convenient to the Government. Probably the noble lord would, in the meantime lay the despatches referred to on the table of the house. Lord PALMERSTON said he wished to give the hon. gentleman every facility for bringing on his motion. If Monday would net suit him he might . fix Thursday or Friday for bringing it before the house. Mr. M. GIBSON said he understood the noble lord to state that Mr. Dallas had read a communication to her Majesty's Government in reference to the Central American question. He asked the noble lord if he felt at liberty to make known the fact to the house whether the answer referred to contained any communication on the proposal of her Majesty's Government to settle the C. n tral American question by arbitration being accepted. (Rear, bear.) Lord PALMERSTON said it would be necessary to enter into a long statement to give a satisfactory answer to the question of the right hon. gentleman ; but the general tenour of the despatches were that the United States Government wished to settle the question by direct communication with her Majesty's Govern ment. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BAILLIE said he would take the discussion on his motion on Thursday next. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTUN said he hoped the hon. gen tleman would give notice at an early period what he really meant to submit to the house. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M. GIBSON wished to know if the United States Government refused arbitration. Lord PALMERSTON—There is no refusal of the arbitration in the despatches. (Heir, hear.) Mr. DISRAELI said he hoped the Government would lay the despatches just referred to on the table of the house before the debate comes on. (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said that must depend on the way in which the'Government would reply to the de spatches. (Hear.) At a subsequent period, Lord J. RUSSELL said he did not find fault with the noble lord at the head of the Government for his not giving more information to-night than he had done rela- tive to our American relations ; but considering this a very critical period with regard to our American rela tions, he should deem it his duty on Monday next, on the motion for going into committee of supply, to bring the question forward, and ask the noble lord for some explanations, and also what course the Government in tended to pursue. This house had very wisely, he thought, abstained from discussing this question, but the daily press had on many occasions referred to it, and front the remarks of some of them the Ameri can people might be disposed to infer that this country was desirable of breaking off American relations wit h the United States. Such he belierd was not the feeling of the house nor the people of this country—hear,hear-- but on the contrary, that they were desirous that those relations should continue. (Cheers.) Under these cir cumstances he thought it necessary to give that notice of his intention of bringing the question before the house on Monday. (Hear, hear.) 61} 163 10 i 371 231 23A I 1 i 81i 221 .. 25a 8a ARMY ESTIMATES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that he should, on Monday, proceed with the Army Estimates. TORTURE IN INDIA. On the motion for the adjournment of the house, Mr. J. G. PHILLIMO - RE presented a petition - from India complaining of the ma!-administration of justice in India by the infliction of torture. After some remarks from Sir E. PERRY, The motion of adjournment was agreed to. The house then went into committee of SUPPLY. Lord PALMERSTON moved a grant of 4,5001. for making a read from the iron gates, near the Germ an chapel, to the Mall, in St. James's park ; also, a further grant of 3,5001. for the erection of a suspension bridge for foot passengers over the water in the inclosure of St. James's park.
