ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CI The Money Market is TY, TWELVE O ' CLOCK . in a state of pens, owing to a preval en t id ea that an advance is sus immi e . vent in the minimum rate of discount. A farther withdrawal of £40,000 in gold was reported at the Bank on Saturday. The Arabia has arrived from New York with £l,OOO for England, and £8,768 for France. The first r e p ort of the directors of the Oil Seed Crushing Company has been issued prior to the meeting of s h areholders. It states that the Dover Mills have been at full work since operations were commenced, and the net profits realised have amounted to about 10 per cent. A dividend is re commended at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. The accounts from the manufacturing districts during the past week have generally been satisfac tory, At Manchester a moderate demand has been• experienced for yarns for exportation; cloths, how ever, have remained inactive. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has continued seasonably active, while rather more animation has been exhibited in the hosiery and Moe departments of Leicester and Nottingham. In the hardware dis tricts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhamp ton, there has been no material change; business generally, however, has been rather duller than usual at this season of the year. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Routes wore 66f. 10c. Two O'CLOCK. ADVANCE IN THE RATE OF DISCOUNT. The Directors of the Bank of England have just advanced their rate of interest and discount from 6 to 7 per cent. This important step was in a great measure anticipated, owing to the pressure upon resources of the establishment. A change being considered imminent, operators in the open market refused business at 6 per cent., and the extra terms required forced the mer cantile community upon the Bank; but, as the reserve of notes and gold in that establishment had been very much reduced, the authorities had no alternative but to carry their quotation 1 per cent. higher, It is not improbable that even greater disturbance will prevail, unless the outflow of the precious metals is brought within narrower limits. The several discount and banking establishments have advanced their rate of interest for deposits. The terms are—money at call, 5 per cent,; 7 days' notice of withdrawal, 54 per cent.; and 14 days' notice, 6 per cent. There is a depressed market for the English Funds, owing to the unfavourable position of monetary affairs. Consols for transfer are 90k, and for the account, Nil. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are about 894 ; Jur) Ex chequer Bills, ss. to 2s, dis,, and India Stock, 212 214, In the Foreign Market there has not been much animation, and prices have been depressed.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been very limited, and prices have generally shown a downward movement. South Eastern, North Western, Great Western, and Great Eastern have each declined 62. The Foreign and Colonial lines are also inactive, at barely former quotations. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue in very limited request. London Joint Stock have declined to 49k ; Union of London to 531; and Anglo. Egyptian are quoted 31 3i prem. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. G OVERNMENTFUNDS. i 8 per C en t.

A fair demand prevailed both for red and white wheats in the country markets, held on Saturday. No change took place in prices, and, generally speaking, they were well supported. The spring corn trade was firm at very full prices. Flour moved off steadily at previous rates. The trade for wheat, flour, and maize at New York is firmer, owing, in some measure, to an increased demand for shipment to Great Britain. On the continent the corn trade generally is firm. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market last week were seasonably good. fhe imports from abroad amounted to 13.427 quarters of wheat, 500 barley, 56,194 oats, 9,405 linseed, 4,518 oilseeds, 2,900 maiz3, 160 sacks and 5,641 barrels of flour. A moderate supply of home-grown wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day, for the most part in good condition. Both for red and white qualities the trade ruled quiet. Factors, however, were firm in their demands, and although sales as a rule ,progressed slowly, the rates current on Monday last were steadily supported. There was a fair average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. The amount of business transacted was very moderate; nevertheless, prices ruled firm, and no alteration took place in them, compared with this day se'ennight. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at full currencies. The supply of barley on sale was very small, and was mostly confined to grinding qualities, whiela changed hands at fully the late advance in prices. Distilling parcels moved off at fully late rates. In malt about an average business was transacted, and prices ruled firm. With foreign oats the market was extensively supplied, and the show of home-grown parcels on the stands was large for the time of the year. The trade, however, was moderately active, and both in home-grown and foreign descriptions, a fair average business was transacted, at full quotations. The supply of beans on sale was small. For all qualities the trade was firm, and the late advance in prices was fully maintained. Peas changed hands at quite previous rates, owing to the limi ed number of sarn oles on offer. The flour trade was firm, at previous quotations. The supply of barrels on sale was very moderate.

With each kind of foreign stock our market, to-day, was well supplied; nevertheless the demand for it ruled steady, and, in some instances, the quotations had an upward ;endency. The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing districts, were tolerably extensive, and their general quality was good. From Ireland and Scotland, the receipts were limited. The demand for most breeds ruled steady, at an ad vance in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d. per Sibs. The general top figure for beef was 4s. 10d. ; but a few very superior Scots and crosses realised ss, per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,000 Scots, crosses, and short-horns; from Leicestershire, 2,000 short-horns ; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 63 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 30 oxen and heifers. With most breeds of sheep we were seasonably-well sup plied, but the quality of the leading descriptions was by no means first-rate. Prime Downs and half-breds moved off treaty at 2d. per 81bs. more money. In the value of long woolled sheep very little change took place, The top quo tation was ss. 4d, per 81bs. Lambs—the supply of which was very moderate—sold freely at from 6s. to 7s. per Blbs. We have to report a dull sale for calves at late rates. In pigs, very little was doing, at last week's currency.

Owing to the unusually large quantity of wool in the market, as well as the fact that foreign buyers do not, as a rule, purchase extensively at this series, the biddings, generally speaking, have ruled somewhat in active; nevertheless, all descriptions of wool have fully supported the rates current at the close of May. It will be remembered that the operations of foreign, chiefly French buyers, last sales were very extensive, 50,000 bales having during their progress been disposed of for export purposes; consequently it is not anticipated that any consi derable quantity of wool will be taken this series for ship• ment either to the Continent or America. Messrs. Brad bury and Cook hold their sale of English wool on the 20th inst. The biddings were very spirited, and deep stapled wool was eagerly competed for.

The Nottingham M ee ti ng commence d with the Trial Stakes, as usual, whi c h was se t f or half past one, so as to accommodate those journeying from North and South; but in consequence of the numerous " specials" running, they were scarcely enabled to reach the course in sufficient time to witness the result, which but few regretted, as but a trio out of the seven were induced to face The Clown, who, from the exhibition he made of Miss Arm strong at Newcastle, giving her a year and a 71b beating, was made a rattling favourite at 2to 1. H e l an d e d w ith ou t any difficulty by a neck. Contrary to expec t at i on, a quar tette was found sufficiently confident to do battle with Cran btry, whose performance at Stockbridge, Worcester, and Liverpool at once stamped him a worthy successor to suoh fliers as Lady Clifdon, Nutbush, and Miss Julia; but, curiously enough, the talent, overlooking his performance with Hesper at Liverpool, made Dawdle, from a reputed trial, his equal in the betting. Cranbury had every ono in difficuties a quarter of a mile from home, and won in a can ter by three lengths. The fielders had a turn given them in the Brigade Handicap, Figaro, the selected of the talent, playing but an indiffernt second to Lord Uxbridge's Tyke, who was friendless in the ring. For the Nottinghamshire Handicap but five out of 14 coloured on the card were in duced to try conclusions with the mysterious Sir Roger, whose advent and equally sudden disappearance from the Northumberland Plate quotations are yet fresh in the recollections of those who " rushed in where angels fear to tread," and paid for their On this occasion, however, although jiffs owner and trainer were not present, Sir Roger was reported to re present the stable interest. With many his appearance and style of action did not take, but, notwithstanding, he speedily assumed the premiership in the betting, but appa rently outpaced from the start, he never took any prominent Part in the race, which was reduced to a match between Welcome and Pearl Diver for the last quarter of a mile, the former apparently having the best of it to within a few strides of the chair, when he cracked, which enabled Mr Brayley's colt to snatch the fiat of the judge by the shortest of heads, and by so doing sased his owner's anonymous correspondent any further trouble in carrying out his threats, The Shorts, with the assistance of Rosebud and Loates, was placed to the account of Mr Thompson, and 18 sots to the credit of the fund. Four met the starter for the County Members' Plate, Loafer being made the favourite, which he fully justified by disposing of his field without an effort. There was a good race at Winchester for the Citizen's Plate between North End (the favourite) and Durham, which the former landed cleverly, the weight telling on Lord Uxbridge's horse up the hill (and a tre mendous pull, by the way, that same hill is) and the weedy looking son of Autocrat finding his account in that same. Besides, 2st is something to give. Redcap made such strong play in the Hasipshire Stakes that it looked at one time as if Aurelian could not catch him, but he ran out at the turn, and moreover got into difficulties coming up the hill, and the question of Aurelian's reaching him was unex pectedly dismissed by Manrice unhandsomely coming up and putting his pipe out as they reached the stand. There was a great "pot" of Young King's in the winner of the Rail way Plate, Bow Bell, about whom fabulous reports were rife as to his "trial," whatever that was—the said pot not, fortunately, "boiling over," and the only long faces being those of the unhappy people who failed to get " on" in the tremendous rush made by the cognoscenti. The Grange Park is always considered the bonne boiechc of the meeting, and though only seven appeared for it on this occasion, which must be attributed to the dry weather ant the " nurs ing" of those reserved for Goodwood, yet it brought the Missionary, Shrapnel!, and The Grappler among the number, and promised a race, though Lord Portsmouth's colt was looked upon as almost a certainty, despite a fear entertained by some, and in which, we believe, his noble owner shared, ' that he would prefer the distance a little longer. He is a large horse and wants extending, but his jockey managed him well and brought him away at once; he was never headed, byhe two lengths b e f ore Th e G ra ppl er . W e spoke just and won horse as still b e l ong i ng t o L or d Ports mouth, but now of t though he r an i n his colours it was his last n appearance in that character, Mr Pardo° having purchased him two or three weeks since, though Lord Portsmouth, we believe, had an interest in him until this race was run. So he scored his first win in the " white and black belt," and will, we fancy, prove a very good investment to his new owner. He goes into Joseph Dawson's stable. The Queen's Guineas only attracted Aurelian and Manrico, odds being l a id on the former, who mad e all the running until about b ill, Where F or dh am b r ou g ht o T t l et ere arm were iadndrlietwoof the Manrico and won a f i ns race by a length. days excellent sport at Southampton on Wednesdaya The Trial Stakes was thought a good saTile Dod o , as B rot h er to I st h m i an be tting rather veered round after Fordham, beedenthing named, an ha at d d first T b hut the given u forrsyhim d a cante r ,; H e move d rat h er st iffl y, h and Knight Templar was installed favourite at evens ; he made all the running and won in a canter. The Cranbury Park brought out The Grappler Lovelace, and Sydmonton among the six starters, the first and last being the only two backed. Sydmonton apparently with the action suitabl e f or a h i ll, for h e cou ld m ag ainst Capt. Ch ristie's colt, who beat him ake noway Sy is a v ery neat looking oolt, but not easily.

Rosette Ada t urne turned ro und when the flag fall, and May were alone in she it, and the former won easily ; is under young Ducker's care, who has lately started as a trainer. O n th e secon d d ay the Hampshire Stakes produc ed no rac e,and Innellan walked over. Much disappointmen t was ex p re ssed at the walk over, and there were grumblings at no p ortio n of the added money being given. 'We confess we t hink t he conditions are ra th er stringent. " Ten to accep t and four to start, or the public shaving. money will not be added," seems close The ac ceptance has been a bad one o f late y e ars, and on this occa sion there were but four. W e think the committee would find it advantageous to relax a little this rather straight ened rule ; there would be a chance of a larger field. As it was, only Pelios and Innellan were on the ground, though Aunt Judy was expected; and Mr Brayley declin ing to run his horse, Mr Wyndham and he divided the forfeits, and Innellan walked over. A new race got up yes terday fared no better. The Wolter Handicap, for gentle men jockeys, furnished another of those disagreeable items of racing returns : so it will be seen that we have not much to tell. One class seemed not at all affected by the dull aspect of the racing. The many-headed cared not for walks over, small acceptances, and smaller fields, but en joyed their annual holiday and the delicious weather in a most unshackled manner. The Stand Plate brought out eight runners, of which Gamecock was the favourite, though Overstono and Deerfoot were backed for FOlllO money; but the last named gQt his head in front and kept it there, despite an effort from Gamecock at the distance ; Overstone " cut it" at the hill, and North End was a de cent third, In the Stewards' Plate Eugenie scored her maiden win without much difficulty against those opposed to her, though giving them all the weight. She is a racing like King T om , sad beams to like a hill, Fordham g,,t all he could out of Ada, but she failed to reach the winner, who had the race safe from the start. Goodwood races commence to-morrow, and will occupy nearly the whole of the week. The most important event on the first day is the Stewards' Cup. It is seldom or ever the best horse wins this race, as there are generally so many false starts; and some horses getting away lengths In advance of the others, it is almost unsafe to hazard an opinion. However, those that strike me as the best in of the top weights aro Lady Clifden, Argonaut, and Queen of 'rumps; Saccharometor, Bertha, and Biondella from the middle weights; and Lucky Star, Balornock, and Madcap from the light weights ; and if compelled to stand on two it would be SACCHAROMETER and BERTHA, who are both speedy animals, and the course will just suit them. Blair Athol will be indulged with a walk over for the Gratwick Stakes. The Ham Stakes of 100 says each will ba won by Jack o' Lantern or Mr Merry's representative. Wednesday's racing will be of more than usual importance, as the Findon Stakes may bring out another Derby favourite. Mr Merry has three engaged, viz., Zambesi, Wild Charley, and Liddington, and whichever ho pulls out will win, unless Plantagenet, who is reported a flyer, should prove successful. The betting on the Goodwood Stakes has been completely spoilt, in consequence of the light weight awarded to Thalestris. The field will in all probability include the following : Yrs st lb Limosina Catch-'em-Alive Bally Edmond Stanton Guillaume le Taciturne 4 .. 7 12 .. Kitchoner Blondin Canzonette .. 4 .. 7 0 Mullet Reserve Thalestris WelbEck Ghillie Callum 3 .. 6 2 .. Cranshaw Fisherman's Daughter 3 .. 5 10 .. Carroll Claxton Limosina has too much weight. awl will be "wanted" later on in the season; Catch.'em-alive is also too heavily weighted, and will make the running for Claxton, who came with a rush into the market on Saturday, and was backed at as little as 9 to 2, but afterwards at Tattersalls he re ceded half a point. He will stay every yard of the course, and will make the favourite gallop. Bally Edmond and Stanton may both secure places, bat neither of them are good enough to win. Blondin has received occasional support and may secure a situation. Canzonette will likely run merely to serve Thalestris, as Mr Ten Broeck, it is said, stands the latter in preference to his own horse. The Tartar and Fisherman's Daughter I have no fancy for. TIXALESTRIS was made the favourite whenever the weights appeared. She is the daughter of Virago, and ought to stay the course, The judge, I anti cipate, will place : THALESTRIS .. 1 CLAXTON . STANTON 3 The Drawing Room Stakes will be carried off by Knight of Snowdon. Ely or Young Rapid will win the Goodwood Derby, the former for choice. The Cup I shall refer to on Wednesday, but my opinion at the present is that LITTLE STAG will pass the judge first. Blair-Athol will secure the Zetland Stakes—Bel Demonic), the Sweepstakes of 50 Sovs—Lord Clifden, the Sweepstakes of 100 Sovs— and Zambesi, the Molecombe. The Three-Year-Old Bentinck Memorial will be a match between Ely and Mr Bowes' representative, either Claremont or Baragab, and whichever Mr Bowes runs will win. A FRESH MAN, CITY BETTING—THIs DAY.

ACCLIMATISATION.—Mrs, Samuel Dovonport, who has just returned from Europe by the overland route, has brought with her some fine specimens of the Alianthus silkworm, which are likely to do well in this colony. This, we believe, is the first successful attempt to introduce this useful variety of the silkworm into South Australia.—Australian paper. A pocket-book containing 15 bank notes, of I,ooofr. each, was picked up in the Rue do Castig lione, at five o'clock yesterday morning, by the wife of a man employed at the Etat•Major in the Place Vendome. A few moments after, as she turned the corner of that street into the Rue do Rivoli, she was accosted by a well-dressed man, who asked her, with an air of anxiety, if she had found a pocket-book which he had just lost, and adding that it contained 15,000 fr., which unfortunately did not be long to himself. The woman at once returned to him his property, when ho gave her a franc, expressing his regret that it was all the change ho had upon him to offer her as a reward.

The Commons' amendments to this bill were agreed to. DENMARK. Lord STRATHEDEN inquired of Government whether the treaty which had been granted to Denmark ought to be considered as having any national validity. The noble lord entered at great length into the details of the subject, Earl GRANVILLE rose to reply, and was [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Evening, The SPEAKER took the chair at three o'clock. STANDING ORDERS. Colonel W. FATTEN drew the attention of the house to the report of the committee appointed to revise the stand ing orders in reference to private bills which was presented some time back, and he moved that the house should agree to that portion of the report which provides for referees in regard to the transaction of private business. Sir J. SH.EL LEY said that he did not consider the alterations proposed would produce any beneficial effect, but at the same time he would not oppose them at that advanced stage of the session. Lord R. CECIL differed from the hon. baronet, and supported the report. Mr S. FITZGERALD objected to the report, as an in jurious innovation, which would have the effect of depriv ing the house,of its legitimate control over private business He trusted that the old standing orders would be reverted to if the alterations now proposed should not prove suc cessful. (Amongst the alterations proposed by the new orders, it was provided that the number of members should be re duced from five to three.) Mr H, 13AILLIE and Lord E[OTLIAIL objected to the pro posal, but the noble lord said he would not object to the number being reduced to four. Mr BO UVERIE considered that the jurisdiction in matters of private business should be retained, but in order to accomplish that the pressure on members should be light ened. He consequently was in favour of the reduction pro posed. Sir E. COLEBROKE said that in his opinion a small number of members would not command so mnch respect and confidence as a larger one, and on that ground he op posed the reduction. ROYAL COMMISSION. The discussion was interrupted by Colonel Clifford, Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, summoning the members to the Upper House, to hear the Royal assent given by commission to several bills, for which see Lords' report. STANDING ORDERS. On the return if the Speaker and the members by whom he was accompanied, the discussion was resumed. Mr PAULL said that he could not, consistently with what he considered was due to the interests of the public, consent to a reduction of the existing number of the mem bers of committees on private bills. Mr M. GIBSON objected to the alteration on practical grounds, as it would give what he considered an undu., influence to the chairman. If they could secure the attend ance of three members, the case would be different, and he thought the number should not be reduced below four. Atter come further discussion the House divided, and the numbers were— For the reduction Against it . . 74 Majority .. —7 Lord It. CECIL then moved that the committee should consist of four. Mr. M. GIBSON supported the amendment. The house divided on the technical motion that the committee should be composed of five. For the motion Against it Majority Colonel W. PATTEN then moved that the number should be reduced to four, upon which the house again divided. For the reduction to four Against Majority — 43 After some desultory conversation, in the course of which Lord R. CECIL expressed a hope that the question as to giving the chairman of committees two votes should be postponed, The debate was then adjourned until to-morrow at the evening sitting. ARTIFICERS IN THE DOCKYARD. Mr FERRAND gave notico that he would, to-morrow, ask a question relative to the subject of the amcuut of re • muneration of artificers employed in the Dockyards. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. DOULTON asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Exchequer standards of weight and measure had been adjusted and reverified, in pursuance of an assurance given by the Secretary of State for the Hume Department on the 29th July, 1862, to the effect "that measures had already been taken for the accomplishment of that object.;" whether the standards recently taken out of the wall of Parliament have been compared with those at the Exchequer; and, if so, whether any and what discre pancy was found to exist. GREENWICH HOSPITAL. Mr CRAWFORD asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether it was the intention of the Lords Commissioners to appropriate any portion of Greenwich Huspital for the re ception of worn out and disabled seamen of the merchant service ? DEDUCTIONS BY THE TREASURY. Mr HO WES asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the cpinion of the law officers of the Crown had been given on the construction of the act 19 and 20 Vic. c. 69, 5.16, re specting certain deductions made by the Treasury from the Government contribution of one-fourth part of the charge for the pay and clothing of the police in counties and boroughs, and whether he would state the effect of such opinion ? Mr PEEL said that the law advisers of the Crown were of opinion that such deduction was lawful. FOREIGN PASSPOK,TS. Mr D. GRIFFITH asked the Under secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether the exemption of British subjects from the demand for passports in France exempts them also from their passports being demanded and given over to the custody of the captain on going on board French passenger steamers in the Me literranean and elsewhere. Mr LAYARD said that he could not give accurate in formation on the subject. THE WAR IN AMERICA, Mr LINDSAY asked the First Lord of the Treasury, if, considering the great sacrifice of life and property occasioned lby the war still raging between the United States of America and the Confederate S . ates, and consider ing the loss the people of this country have suffered by the war, it is the intention of her Majesty's Government, in concert with the other Powers of Europe, to use their endeavours to bring about a suspension of hostilities. Lord PALMERSTON said that he could assure his hon, friend that the subject of the loss of life and property consequent on the unfortunate hostilities in America occupied the attention of the Government, but it was not considered advisable to int9rfere even by acting in concert with other Powers in the internal affairs of America, (LEFT SPEAKING.)
