MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'Utot). The Liverp9ol Cotton Market yesterday closed steadily, with a good business doing. The sales were estimated at 9,000 bales, 3,500 of which were taken for export. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, at a slight improvement in prices. Last evening the third series of colonial wool sales this year commenced ; and, judging from the first auction, they are likely to proceed with much heaviness. Already the prices realised are id. to lid. per lb. lower than those current at the close of the last sales, and the withdrawal of about 10,000 bales from the quantity advertised for dis posal has been announced. The immense arrivals of the article from Australia, and the. dulness of the continental markets, have necessarily occasioned a decline in prices, and many are of opinion that a further reduction will take place before the close of the present sales. Advices from the French wool-markets report a quiet state of trade, with no further disposition on the' part of wool-growers to stand out for high Prices. In all the markets where they have con sented to take lower prices than the opening of the present season indicated, sales have been effected with facility. The rates of Metis-merino wools at Paris is as follows :—ln grease, lf. 10c. to If. 30c. per half-kilogramme ; Champagne and Burgundy washed wools, from 2f. 30c. to 3f. In general the wools brought to market this year are considered superior to what they were last season. At Soissons some important transactions have taken place. One house has bought a very large quantity of fine washed wool, at from 2 to 4 per cent, advance on the prices of 1855 ; but other houses, which have regularly come into this market for many years past, dealt with the wool-growers at the usual rates, or at lower prices than were quoted at the commencement of this season. There is not so great a demand for wools in grease as there is for fine washed wools ; and many of the growers have hand-washed much of the stocks of grease-wool before bringing it to market. The Colonial Produce Markets this week have been quiet, but the quotations have generally been supported. Sugar has been scarcely so firm ; but coffee has maintained recent prices. Rice, cocoa, and saltpetre, have not attracted much attention. Spices have ruled cheaper, and tallow has advanced. The indigo sales terminated yesterday, and their Progress is thus reviewed by Messrs. H. W. Jewes bury and C o . "Within the short space of barely eight days the above named large quantity has passed sale, but without much satisfaction to either buyers or sellers. The general feeling until a short time before the sale was that prices ere likely to rule 3d. to 4d. per lb. under May rates, but a telegraphic message being received, which stated that much injury had been done to the new crop by heavy rain, opinions changed, and parcels of Indigo were in request at May prices. Importers acting upon the news received became firm in their demands, and the sale opened by the first parcel being bought in above May rates, additional support being given by withdrawing large parcels, and thereby establishing May P,riCes. This course was generally adopted throughout the sale where there was no disposition to pay the rates demanded ; the result has been that only a small quantity sold compared with former July sales. Orders were evidently very limited both for export and home use, many of the home trade having in many instances their May pur chases still on hand, and some a part of their February lots also. The letters from Calcutta delivered this morning do not confirm the intelligence before reported to the extent represented ; cold rainy ungenial weather had been experienced, which had destroyed a portion of the young crop, where the lands were low, and there ware indications that the periodical rains had set in earlier than usual, which, should they be heavy, would much diminish the out-turn in lower Bengal ; this news had no effect in the room, and the sale closed at previous Prices. Of the quantity brought forward, it is esti mated that 3,080 chests have been bought in, 8,464 withdrawn, and 3,999 sold, to which may be aided about 380 of the bought in and withdrawn, making the total quantity sold about 4,400 chests, of which 3,500 are estimated for export, and 900 for home use and re sale." In addition to the receipts of specie noticed yesterday, the following have since been an nounced : -8 , 0 00/., per J. 11.

The dealings, both for money and ac !count, are very limited, and the market, there "-ore, is in a dull state. Consols have been 95i New 954 for transfer, and 951 I for account.

Spanish Threes are 431 441, and the New Deferred r 2 to 23k. Sardinian Bonds have remained at Mexican are 23, and Dutch 2i per Cents. i m i ll ailway Shares are flat, and rather fluctuating.

The Foreign and Colonial are quiet but firm, except Rigas, which have not yet re covered. C e yl ons , B en gals, and Caleuttas are flat. Euphrates are 4 premium.

The discussion, nevertheless, became very warm in the Council of Ministers, until O'Donnell roundly informed Escosura that the presence of both in the Cabinet was im possible. In a few minutes after O'Donnell left the Council room, and returned to his house apparently in bad humour. Escosura also left in order to allow the other Ministers full liberty to decide on who should be the outgoing Minister. On the choice there was a dif ference of opinion. Z abala, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and one Santa Cruz were in favour of Escosura and Lujan. The Duke of Victoria said not a word ; and the question was postponed till the following day at an early hour. "O'Donnell told Escosura in the most positive terms that he was not in favour of his revolutionary policy, and Escosura replied that his policy was that of the Duke. (It will give an idea of the popularity of Es= partero, that when people say El Duque, without any addition, it is understood that he atone is meant.) He had observed before having the Council that ho was at liberty to mention i the Cortes all that had occurred, and to explain the motives of his con duct. They both left the Council, leaving the impres sion behind them that they were both to resign. All was over at midnight, and no great sensation was caused in Madrid, owing to the lateness of the hour. Some persons however, were on the watch, and certain things were remarked a, out of the orj.inary course. On quitting the Council chamber O'Donnell was met in the vestibule of Buenavisto by the whole of the Vied varist Generals (those whojoine , l him atVicalvaro in 1354),1i0s Rosas,aud other friends. Tie Brigadier gstariz, his secretary, came out in a few minutes, and entered a carriage which was at the Palace. The night was advanced and all was still. It was presumed that he went to some one to hiform:the Queen of what was going on. O'Donnell went to bed half an hour afterwards, but his friends remained awake and were not idle. Four horses, saddled and bridled, were led up to the Palace of Buenavista. Two or three servants crept stealthily up, carrying cavalry boots and sabres, and General Serrano (not the well-known Francisco Serrano, lately Captain-General, but an aide-de-camp of O'Donnell of that name) in an hour and a half after rode out of Madrid, enveloped in a cloak and travelling hat, by the Puerta de Alcala. Some hesitated in believing the tact ; it was true neverthe less ; and an aide-de-camp of the duke (Espartero) saw him return at 4 o'clock in the morning by the same gate, de Alcala. It was not known positively whither he had gone, but it was more than supected that it was to Vicalvaro itself, where there were 400 cavalry. The rest of the night passed off well, and a few of his inti mate friends remained till daybreak in the house of the Duke. "The other Serrano (Bedoya) saw early this morning two of our friends, and told them that the garrison would in no wise take any part is the affair, but remain pas sive and await the solution of the crisis, and this decla ration was made by order of the Captain-General Ser rano. "At 12 o'clock to day the Council met. Escosura presented his resignation to the Duke, and O'Donnell said he reserved his for presentation in person to the Queen. It appears that the resignation of Escosura was accepted by the Queen, but that of O'Donnell not." LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)s COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.) IN RE BA :LOW.

Since Monday only a limited supply of English wheat has come fresh to hand, coastwise and by land carriage. The show of samples here today was small, and most kinds were in fair request, at Monday's currency. The imports of foreign wheat are 6,120 quarters, and over 60 vessels have arrived off Falmouth for orders. The transactions were mostly in retail, yet prices were well supported. Barley was less active, at barely late rates. Over 6,000 quarters have come in. Malt changed hands slowly, at previous quotations. The show of oats was moderate, and the trade ruled steady, at full prices. Bawls, peas, and flour as on Monday. Wheat. 2,210 ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Barley.

A meeting of Russian and German capitalists, toge- ther with the rep resentatives of the credit institutions ' of Coburg, Dessau, and Dramstadt, has been held at an hotel in F ra nkfort -on - the - Maine. The object of the meeting appears to have been to settle the programme of a large undertaking to be entered into by their united financial forces in the south of Russia. The capital that they have subscribed for this purpose is said to be 24,000,000 silver roubles. S O CIETE DES CLIPPERS FR ANcAIsEg , It is under stood that the Socitste des Clippers Flancaises, by whom a contract was lately effected for the purchase of eight screw-steamers from the General Screw Company, have failed to meet the instalment due from them on Monday last.

STATE OF TRADE. (Prone G. F. blandley's Manchester Trade Circular.) MANCHESTER, July 17.—Immediately- after the issue of my last report there was a manifest improvement in the demand, and although prices were slightly advanced, a fair extent of sales was effected. On the 28th ult. the Bank of England reeeceri its minimum rate of discount to 41 per cent., and contemporaneously we experienced the exhilarating effects of a return of sunny and warm weather. With this auspicioes change greater confi dence became observable on the part of buyers, with more firmness in the tone of sellers. Orders which had been held in abeyance in expectation of a decline of prices were brought forward, and stocks were speedily reduced, and in soma instances cleared out. This state of comparative activity continued for about a fortnight, during which time both yar ns and goods were advanced, and spinners and manufacturers found themselves more fully occupied with contracts than usual at this season of the year. During the past week the market has again become tame, partly, no doubt, from the fact of imme diate requirements having been satisfied by recent ope rations, and partly from the return of heavy rains and au unseasonably low temperature. As we have arrived at an extremely critical period, when our corn crops are placed in extreme jeopardy by a recurrence of such un genial weather, and as such vast interests depend upon the fate of our cereal harvests, it is not surprising that we should find the business of this district sensitive to the change. It was filly expected that the Bank would further reduce the rate of discount, but an efflux of bul lion, with the doubtful aspect of the harvest, appear to have rendered that relaxation, fir the present, at least, inexpedient. Business at the present moment is ratio r quiet, but there are no stocks of yarns or goods, and con sequently there is no depression in prices. 0 wing to the requent corn inueication between this and distant markets by steaaaboats, railruc ds, S'ae , we have not as formerly such distinctive periods of action and inactivity, occa sioned by the opening and closing of seasons, still Mid summer remains a dud period, both in the home and export trade. The present lull is doubtless, in a large measure, owing to the mid season, and as soon as business may receininence, it will he found that stocks are light, and from the firm condition of the cotton market there is little reason to calculate upon a !ewer range of prices, especi ally if money be easy and a good harvest secured. a Although there bas been, as usual, a good deal of grumbling about dull markets, yet the exports of the chief manufactures of this district show that our indus trial resources have been actively employed, at the same time the consumption of cotton shows that our mills have not been idle. The average weekly deliveries to the trade during the first half of the present yeer amount to 43,808 bales, so that a large expansion must be taking place in the production, unless spinners hold much larger stocks of the raw material than usual ; and it is believed they do not. BRADFORD MARKET.—The relatively high prices at which wo©l is yet held seriously interfere with the de mand for the manufactured products. The exorbitant value borne by this material since last autumn has, ac cording to my expectations, attracted increased supplies. The importations this year (from January 1, to June 30) having exceeded those of the same period of 1855 by 50,867 bales, yet prices still rule too high for spin ners. Yarns for export are dull, as buyers hold off in expectation of a fall in prices. Piece goods are light in stock, and have been in fair demand for home con sumption. The export demand is bat limited, but is improving. CIVIL SERVICE SUPERANIVUATION BILL. This subject comes on tonight. The bill abo lishes the system of deductions from salary for superannuation as unprincipled, but in order to make up to the revenue for this loss directs a " revision," confessedly a reduction. of salaries, " with due regard to the amount of the deduction" abolished. We understand that in view of the bill passing the Treasury are prepared at once to de duct 5 per cent. from salaries over 5001. ; 2 per cent. from salaries over 1001. and under 5001., while those under 1001. will escape. This rough and ready " mode of revision" is unavoidable from the limited period, the Ist of April, within which it must be made. To niake matters worse the Chancellor has suddenly changed his mind about• the scale of pensions, and now presents one which for 24 years is worse than the existing one which has caused so much discontent. As might be sup posed all this has created much consternation and dissatisfaction. The civil servants say that if the Chancellor's scale of February was just and fair, then why withdraw it now 7 Moreover, if after 27 years' endurance of a system of deduction from salary for superannuation that system is now dis covered by Parliament to be unsound and. unjust, it does not seem reasonable that salaries should therefore be reduced under another name. Such a reduction will be a most ungrateful task for the T rea sury, for of late years the pressure has been quite the other way. • 14 6s. 1 all 1 all 1 all 101 all I tal I all 1 12s.

We have recently endeavoured to bespeak an impar tial hearing for the advocates and an impartial trial for the experiment of the system of penal reformation now in vogue. We have done this because we have felt that the force of circumstances left us no alternative. Every thing else has been tried, and has been abandoned in its turn ; and if we did not make the best of what we have got already we should only be putting ourselves in the condition of the Irishman who postponed his journey until he could begin it in the middle. Our present state of penal discipline is one of transition, and we must get through it how we best can, until we arrive at another stage More hopeful and more definite. To throw the present system up in despair and to revert to any of those which we have discontinued would be as pusilla nimous a', in the actual state of things, it would be me. wise. We therefore think that ColenelJebb is perfectly justified in putting so good a face epee the character of penal servitude as he does in the report which he has recently published. It will obviate that wholesale and sweeping censure to which the process has been so releutlesely exposed. It will show that it is a scheme which, though it may not realise all the good that it proposes, dues not at present involve all the evil with which it is reproached. Bet, while justice com pels us to make this coneeseicn, we are bound to state our conviction that the report dose not mak out a strong case in favour of the present as that which ought to be the perneaneot and ultimate form of tecondary punishments in England. This report, like all others, is studded full of those "facts and figures" which prove nothing positively, be cause they may prove anything in a degree. We have whole pages of statistics respecting the fate of men who have undergone the provisional imprisonment; and have then been released with tickets of leave. Some of these are "doing well," are employed under kind masters, making money and plans of future honesty and industry. But then there are others who cannot get work, who complain of the discredit and isolation which attach to their list mode of life, and who must, too, probably re lapse into crime of a deeper or lighter shade, according to circumstances, for the mere purposes of subsistence. Again, there is a class of emancipists who write with that peculiar savour of religious unction whiCh may proceed from sincerity, but which, we confess, does to our minds convey the suspicion of something very like hypocrisy, or, at any rate, of that mere re.adinesi in catching reli gious phrases, without attaching any significance to tuem, which a course of training under a prison chap lain is not unlikely to give to artful or impressible minds. Altogether this report, wl i'e it may suffice to meet ex aggerated accusations of the system, is not sufficient to establish any reliable grounds for its future imitation and extension. It is true that the present scheme has only been two years in force, and it would not be quite fair to judge of its capabilities from so short an experience. But this argument cuts two ways. If the shortness of the expe riment tells against a precipitate judgment on the results of the plan, it also tells against saaguine anticipations of its success. It tells with peculiar force against the advocacy which relies upon the fact that as yet the mea sure has not created in England a class corresponding to the forcats of France. Of course, this was impossible. A class which is formidable not only by reason of its character, but also by reason of its numbers, is the growth of many years. But, though there has not been as yet time enough to create a class of this kind, it is certainly open to discussion whether the present system be not likely to sow the seeds of one. It is contended in the report before us that multitude and combination are the elements which cause such a body of men to be dreaded, and that neither exists in England, where dis charged criminals are few and dispersed. But both thesis elements are the growth of time. There will always be a certain number af hypocrites emancipated before their full period of imprisonment is completed. There will also be a large number released at the expiration of their term very much worse in disposition, because more hardened and irritated, than when they were first imprisoned. These two will increase with every succeed ng year. They will also attract and combine with each other. There is a law of gravitation which is as irresistiele in the moral as iu the physical world, and it will follow as naturally as the fall of an apple to the ground that the ex-occupants of all the reformatories in England will gravitate to each other. The hardened rogues and the plausible hypocrites are a tolerably bad beginning. To these must be added that large and malleable class of men who have been criminal .ess through innate wickedness than a weak irresolu, ion, and whose docile impressibility would soon bring them under the bondage of stroi g temptation and evil corn pauionship. Given, then, these three elements, the vicious, the hypocritical, and the pliant—given also cer tain contin‘,eocied which are, we. fear, by no means im probable, such as want of employment, want of credit, want of toed, and abundance of temptation—it is not un. charitable to expect that each y, arly liberation of pH• soners would acid not only to the numbers, but also to the coalitisin and combination of the most aceumplishod scoundrels and the most reckless wretches in the cora , munitv. This may seem a disheartening and uncharit able view of the bubject, but we fear it is the true one. We would willingly look more hopefully and cheerily, but our knowledge of human nature forbids any other conclusion ; and we leave it to our readers to picture the sort of England that they would have to live in when a quarter or half a century bad inoculated our population with the continuous efflux of a criminal caste which was united by the bonds of a common hardihood and a common hypocrisy. Col. Jebb tells us that in little more than two years the num ber of ticket-of-leave men discla - ged in Middlesex has been 5 in 10,000 of the population, which would be about 1,000 on the whole population of the county. Add to these the prisoners from the other prisons, who, he tells us, amount to 40 times as many, and we have a tolerably —or, rather, an intolerably—large nucleus of possible crime in the metropolitan county already. What is it likely to be in ten, twenty, fifty years ? We cannot condemn the system for this. It is fall of benevolence and reliance on the best instincts of man. So far it is wise and politic ; but we are bound to look its consequences in the face, and we confess that, consi dering its cost, its uncertainty, the slight chances that life in England affords for known adult criminals to re establish themselves in character and employment, and the numerous temptations which allure them to fresh confederacies of crime, we can hardly blink the prospect which a tew years' continuance of the system must dis close. We speak only of its effects on men—on male adults. With boys the case is different. The boys who are case hardened against kindness, discipline, penitence, and remorse, are very few. The prejudice, too, against them is inconsiderable. There are not many intelli gent persons who would refuse to give a boy-convict a chance of restoring his character after his discharge from a reformatory. But for men the real reformatories were those which we have lost. The penal colonies were, in the case of minor crimes, truly efficient reformatories. At least, they reformed more men than any other system is ever likely to do. Nine convicts out of ten who were sent thither went with the determination to retrieve their characters and fortunes ; and they generally carried their intentions into effect. With change of country came change of habits, associations, allurements, and spirits. There was none of that heavy depressing consciousness which at home whispers to a man, "Once a rogue, always a rogue." There were no sneering neighbours— supeicilionsly respectable vestry—no purist aegis , tracy—to nip the first bud of penitent self-reformation. It was a clear stage, without disfavour or prejudice. The ticket-of-leave man felt that he was starting fresh in the race of life, and he went in with gay spirits and a bold heart. The result told much for the reformation of the criminal there ; but unfortunately it also told much for the multiplication of his species here. — Times. OFFICERS WIDOW AND ORPHAN PER- ..41.3NE1V T FUND. A meeting of the society for the support of this fund was held yesterday at the Hanover-square Reoms ; the Marquis of Blaudford in the chair. The report, which the st:cre'.ary read, referred to the loss the society had. sustained by the bankruptcy of Messrs. Sxahan, Paul, and Bates ; it is stated that the receipts had been to the 24th of Juue last 3,9671. 95., and the expenditure had been 6151 9e. 6d. A letter from the Duke of Cambridge having been read, the report was adopted, on the motion of Mr. Hamilton, seconded by Colonel Walker. A re• solution, approving of the society's objects, was moved by General Sir W. F. Williams, M.P., of Kars, who said it was a very favourable opportueity for him to advocate the cause of the wives and orphans of his fellow•offi cers. A most sanguinary war had just been brought to a favourable conclusion. He did not wish to appeal to their imagination, but to their hearts. He would ask them to , magine a soldier dying on the field of battle or in the hospital. What were his last thought!! They were on his wife and family. He had seen in other countries what provision was made fo r the ob j ect here in view, though he did not by such a comparison impugn the institutions of this country. The Sovereign here did not hold the purse, as in other countries ; but those who did, the public, should provide for the rela tives of those who bad fallen for us in battle. If we did so, it would Le another guarantee for the safety of our homes in a future time. That we must expect wars and rumours of wars in the future all experience proved, and wo mutt believe that if we believed anything. He told the meeting he was no orator, but he hoped the plain words of a soldier would sink into their hearts. He concluded by making an appeal to their gratitude and generosity to relieve the widows and orphans of his deceased brethren. (The gallant speaker was enthu siastically cheered on his appearance and during his short speech) The resolution was seconded by the Right Hon. Joseph Napier, M.P., and carried unani mously. A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated. lintnisG FISHING.—The herring fishing commenced here about a week ago on its usual limited scale. Th• catches have, on the whole, been very fair for a com mencement—the highest being six crane to a boat. The appearance of the fish on the eoast is good. At Stone haven, whence Aberdeen is mainly supplied with "fresh herring," some forty boats are to fish. The first few days there have yielded a moderate catch, and the fish are of good quality, though, in some cases, small in tilt, —Aberdeen Journal. nd 7y, to.- 10 LS ; 1111 per at, It.; t 0 1 be iili, be on- 3 of )uise had 10 11- . in' ties, ions• I in ig to had tlorS lame ••• ' 18i 101 i 331 i 55i 371 8 18 62i I 13; i 374 i 20: 1: 11 ; 10 31 x in x in 1 lo 1 1 25 1 1 20 29 81 ti i li 5 In 4 66 7 15 i =d
