NONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. An active demand for money during the past few days has not at all abated, and but few first class bills are connquently negotiated under the Bank of England minimum, viz., 4 per cent. This inquiry will, no doubt, be maintained for another fortnight, when the Government dividends for July Will be paid, which will considerably add to the resources at the disposal of bankers and discounters. A further sum of £5,000 in gold was purchased by the Bank authorities yesterday. . _ The Maraman has arrived from Melbourne with £20 1 ,328. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have appointed Thursday next for a special settlement in the shares of the Indian Tea Company of Cachai, which are not to be marked ; and Thurs day, the 2d proximo, in the General Credit and Finance Company, dealings in which are to be officially recorded. During the last few days there has not been much animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugar has in some instances been rather cheaper. Coffee, rice, and cocoa have remained at about previous quotations, while saltpetre has been dull. In the tallow market the operations for both present and forward delivery have been on a very limited scaie, consequent upon the progress of poli tical events in Poland. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were inanimate at 68f. 62c. A further decline of s per cent. has taken place to-day in the English Funds, owing to renewed sales on speculative account, and the unfavourable feeling relative to the Polish question.

The following is a fuller report than is given elsewhere, from our Third Edition of yesterday, of the excellent speech delivered last evening, in the House of Peers, by Lord Campbell : The NOBLE LORD said that the difficulty of engaging the attention of the house to the subject of his notice, after the much more interesting topics they had recently debated, was so great that nothing but a sense of duty would have led him for a moment to attempt it. To guard himself in some degree against the charge of rashness and presump tion, he might mention that since the general election of 1847, which had forced the question of the oaths on the public and on Parliament, his attention had happened to le very much directed to it. He should ask the house to read a bid for the first time, and give, as rapidly as possible, an explanatory statement of its objects, having no intention or desire to proceed to any further stage during the session. The uncertainty of being able at any future time to offer such an explanation alone induced him now to trespass on the goodness of their lordships. There were only three points on which it was essential that he should gain the concurrence of the house— first the necessity of revising and amending the arrange , ment of the oaths formed in 1858, when they were last adjusted ; secondly, on the principle which oughtito govern such revision and amendment ; thirdly, on the safest and the most convenient application of the principle. And it was only on the first of these three points that it was re quisite to dwell, not with length, indeed, but with anxiety. If a clear and obvious case for further legislation was estabe lished, an imperfect and errpneous scheme would not be re ceived with harshness or severity ; if no sufficient reasons were advanced for agitation of the subject, a bill, however perfect it might seem in principle and detail, would very justly be resented by their lordships, inasmuch, as the great and the established principle of quiete non novere would then have been improperly departed from. It was 'difficult for noble lords to summon the year 1858 to their memory, intercepted as it was by the size and splendour of the objects which had since then demanded the attention of the world. But if we had imagination to revive it, if noble lords could suddenly transport themselves into its discus sions and its conflicts, no argument would be necessary to show that the conclusion then arrived at on the oaths was temporary and provisional. What was the arrange ment? Two Acts of Parliament were carried by Lord J. Russell and Lord Lucan. The first created a new oath with a profession of Christianity appended to it. The second gave both houses of Parliament the discretionary power to exempt Jewish members (no one else) from mak ing the profession appended to that oath, but not to any other. The arrangement was substantially unchanged, although two further Acts of Parliament—one in 1859. one in 1860—had immaterially modified it. How did it arise ? Lord J. Russell carried through the House of Commons a bill by which Jews would have become admissable to Par liament. The House of Lords amended it in such a way as to exclude them. Much controversy arose between the houses, and much excitement in the country. Mr. T. Duncombe, suddenly relying on a precedent, persuaded the House of Commons that Baron Rothschild might sit upon committees without subscribing to the oaths. So great was the perplexity that a solution ,then appeared to be es sential, no matter how crude, or hurried, or anomalous, provided it would give at once and for a season to compose the discord of the legislature. Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Lucan both came forward with proposals. That of Lord Lyndhurst was withdrawn, that of Lord Lucan was amended, and in a great degree transformed at the request of the noble earl who then led the Government. The bill wh ch the Commons had sent up and that which their lordships had originated were at last so interwoven as to be essential to each other, and in that way reached the statute book, He had given the outline of what took place in 1858, in order to explain that the result did not represent the mind or judgment of any one who took part in the dis cussion in Parliament or out of it. It was not the plan of Lord J. Russell or Lord Lyndhurst, or Lord Lucan, or the Opposition, or the Government. It was rather a fortuitous conclusion emerging from a multiplicity of counsellors, an exuberance of profits,a rivalry of objects,and a chaos of ideas, and from such elements of birth it was not to be expected that a sound or final system would present itself. But what language was employed by those who gave their sanc tion to it. It was ono of reservation an.: of protest. Every one accepted it as a temporary exit from a difficult emer gency. Every one condemned it as a lasting settlement of a long agitated problem. He would not quote the Parlia mentary debates, but he would refer to what might he re garded in the light of history, the fact, namely, that Lord Palmerston on one side, Mr. S. Walpole on the other, both clearly intimated, in assenting to it, that the question could not be considered as disposed of, and that further legisla tion was inevitable. What defects did it contain to bring about that general conviction of its being inadequate and temporary? To give a special class exemption from a statute by resolutions or by standing order, by many had been deemed unconstitutional, and by all was sail to be invidious. It was a dispensing power such as the Crown had not formerly pretended to. The peremptory power established by Lord Lucan's bill was confined to the oath established in Lord J. Russell's bill. Lord J. Russell had declared that that oath contained some things which ought not to be there, or at least ought not to be perpetu ated. But in order to correct it Baron Rothschild must be driven out of Parliament, and all the former agitation brought again into existence, since the discretionary power to admit him vanished with that simple oath. So long as the scheme of 1858 remained there would always be a dis• position in the House of Commons to amend it, and bills might reach the House of Lords which they were not in clined to accept. In 1860 this had happened. But far more grave was the objection that debates in the House of Commons may occur at any moment on the standing order by which the Jewish members were admit ted. And they inevitably would arise if parties happened to be evenly divided, For the last 20 years we had not seen the results of a c ntention between two parties of equal strength and equal aspiration. Let anyone recall the close of Sir R. Walpole's Government about 1740, when the sick and dying were brought down to the floor of the House of Commons to divide, and ask him self whether at such moments no attempt would have been made to r , scind a standing order which gave half a dozen votes to one party or the other. Let anyone recall the time when Mr. Pitt came in a second time about 1805, when, on the impeachment of Lord Melville, 216 voted for, and 216 against him, and the Speaker took a quarter of an hour to decide his casting vote and consider whether at the begin ning of the Parliament no attempt would have been made to rescind a standing order which might give to Opposition or to Government the triumph each was eagerly pursuing. Or, if those illustrations were too distant, let anyone recall the latter years of Lord Melbourne's Government, when power turned on a majority of two or three, and ask himself whether, at that time, the standing order would not have been questioned by whichever party it might injure. Whenever, therefore, a condition always possible arose, the whole question would revive which in 1858 men felt so anxious to get rid of. It would be admitted on the grounds that the legislation of that year required to be amended. On what principle, however, was a juster settlement attainable ? Lora Campbell:was anxious to repudiate the principle which belonged to the bill of 1858 when it just left the Commons, and was first presented to their lordships. A profession of Christianity appended to the oath clearly had no value unless universal in the obli gation to subscribe to it. It could not be a test if those who disbelieved in Christianity, were exempted from the action it would have upon them ; nor could it stamp the character and colour of that faith, upon Parliament, when only taken by a portion. On the contrary, in such a case it would exhibit and define the case that Parliament, on that vital question, was divided. So far from adding a new sanction to, it disparaged to some extent the daily service by which, in both Houses, business was preceded—revealing with the practice and solemnity of the law the fact that a class of members differed from the faith implied in such a mode of worship. They were thus naturally led to the alternative. viz., that the oaths should be so framed as to be available for all whom the law admitted in Parliament, if no necessity exist for the exemptions of the privileges by which an action was enabled to avoid the forms imposed on the remainder of the legislature. Lord Campbell then dis cussed the different forms in which that principle was ap plicable. The oath of 1829, passed for Roman Catholics. contained no phrases or positions which could debar the Protestant or Jewish members from subscribing to it. If adopted as the single oath religious lines of demarcation would vanish from the legislature. In the judgm ant of Lord Campbell, as expressed in 1858, they ought to do so. The oath of 1829, however, was modern in its character —and the value of such forms depended in some degree on that duration of ambiguity. The Roman Consul, who when Corinth fell into his power, and when rare and valu able sculpture had to be transmitted to his country, explained to the contractors for its passage, that should damage take place new figures would be rigorously called for, illustrated the type of intellect which overlcoks vital truth—viz., that no modern form of words can have the solemnityand dignity of those who have already linked ages, generations, and par liaments together. The proposition he had ventured to i h l i w t a h s e a b v e i e n n g s t e h n e t e o n a c t e h d o t f o a r b e j r e n e a t i c o t n t n e c c e a nd supremacy to supersede that of 1854. These oaths of allegiance an d su p remac y were established oaths the embody grave of i a n l t l o e the g w i a h n ß i in the first Act of William and 11ary ; again in the Bth Act of William and Mary; again in the Bill of Rights, meant as an eternal monument of freedom,—were never altered or disturbed till 1858, were then altered and dis turbed for n o p ur p ose exc ept to remove the complication on Jewish questions which existed, The complication which yet remains will disappear if wo re-enact them. They are known to be available for all members of the Legislature, whether Protestant or Jewish, and Roman Catholics will still continue to subscribe the oath of 1829. Lord Campbell then referred to a bill which Lord Lyndhurst had introduced in 1855 to repeal the oath of abjuration, and which, had it been carried, would have led to the exact position which his bill designed to accomplish. • He had the shelter, therefore. of that venerable lord, as well as of the Bill of Rights and the innumerable Parliaments in which the oaths ho wished to re-enact had been accepted. The clauses were so framed as to supersede the oath of ISr,B, to revive the oaths he had referred to, and to maintain in the Rouse of Lords i in- disputable right to determine upon which Testament oaths should be administered, so that no Jewish peer could take 11;13 seat in that house without their formal sanction should the Crown ever give existence to the question. While, therefore, the position of the House of Lords would be un altered and inviolate, no member of the Jewish faith, without its fiat could ever mingle in its councils, the difficulties which will arise from the imperfect system of 1858 would pass away. No collision on the oaths could take place between the houses, no debates on the standing order could arise in the Commons. The anomalous and unbe coming demarkation of the Legislature with the opponents of our faith would be avoided, and the solemnities intended to be permanent in the bill of rights would be restored. But, if such a mode of acting does not seem to be desirable, I appeal to the present, to the late Government, and that right rev, bench which has so clear a right to influence the question that they may gradually mature a safer and happier solution. Two things seem to be indisputable, that the Legislature of 1858 cannot be accepted as endur ing, and that nothing would tend more to the dignity and credit of the House of Lords, clou led in the eyes of some by their long, although sincere resistance to the claims of Baron Rothschild, than that the settlement me still re quire should be accomplished by its labour. The noble lord moved the first reading of a bill to reenact the oaths of allegiance and supremacy in place of the oath of 1858. THE REVIEW AT WOOLWICH. One of the most brilliant field-days of the season was held yesterday on Woolwich-common. The Prince of Wales, Prince Arthur, the Duke of Cam bridge, and the general officers of the Horse Guards, were present, including Gen. Sir J. Yorke Scarlett, Gen. Sir R. Airey, Gen. Forster, Gen. Knonye, Gen. Lugard, &c., and their own personal staff. Their Royal Highnesses arrived at Woolwich soon after 10 o'clock, and were received on the Artillery parade by the Major-General commanding, Sir Richard Dacres, and the garrison staff, composed of Major Milward, Brigade-Major ; Major Reilly, C. 8., Aide-de-Camp; and Capt. Nangle, Deputy .Issistant - Quartermaster- General. There were also present Major-General Sandham, Lieut.-Go vernor of the Military Academy ; Major-Gen. Stransham, Inspector-Gen. Royai Marines ; Major Field, Acting. Governor of the General Hospital ; Col. Kennedy, commanding the Royal Artillery Depot; Col. Ford, commanding Royal Engineers; Colonel Bingham, Deputy Adjutant-General; Colonel Campbell, Cemmandant Royal Marines; and other officers. The Prince of Wales appeared in the scarlet uniform of a major-general, Prince Arthur was dressed in kilts, and the Commander-in Chief wore the blue uniform of colonel of the Royal Artillery. The guard of honour was supplied by 100 men of the Royal Engineers, in command of Capt. Decie. The troops, numbering over 4,000 men, were drawn up in two lines, stretching from north to south throughout the common. The front line consisted of four batteries of the Horse Brigade, four batteries of 40-pounder heavy guns, and one battery of the 9th brigade. The rear-line contained two batteries of the depot Royal Artillery ; the Gentlemen Cadets of the Academy, 249 in number; 500 dismounted gunners of the Artillery; three battalions of Royal Marines, numbering 1,000 men ; 200 men of the Ist battalion 60th Rifles ; the 4th battalion Military Train, and one battalion be longing to the depot Royal Artillery. The entire party soon after their arrival were provided with horses and proceeded to an inspection of the lines, after which they took up their position at the flagstaff and inspected the marching past, which was performed with the most admirable regularity, in close columns, in slow time, and at a gallop, in which latter the 40-pounder batteries did net assist. The field guns, Horse Artil lery, and heavy batteries were then posted in vari ous positions on the brow of the hill, and the infantry formed in one continued line. The pickets reserved to keep the ground were ordered to clear every avail able space, and preparation was made for action. The infantry advanced and commenced file firing from the right of companies, and the Horse Artil lery charged from the right, clvered by a body of skirmishers. The artillery fired independently from their various positions, representing the attack of an advancing army at some distance. Having changed face, the troops again formed line and opened in columns right in front to unmask batte ries, when a most interesting general engagement commenced, which continued upwards of two hours. At the conclusion the troops closed up in front and gave a general salute, after which the Princes and suite rode forward towards the Military Academy, whereupon a general rush of the spectators took place. They gave the Prince a hearty cheer, which his Royal Highness acknowledged. After inspect ing the class-rooms, dining-hall, and other portions of the Academy, the Royal party proceeded by the back entrance to the gymnasium, and rode towards the new Herbert Hospital; afterwards passing by the military encampment and the repository they visited the new garrison church, and dismounted at the entrance of the mess quarters, where they hon oured Sir R. Dacres and the officers of the Royal Artillery with their presence at luncheon, The band of the Royal Artillery performed during the repast, and at half-past two the Royal party re turned to town. His Royal Highness and the Princess of Wales have expressed their intention of witnessing a re view of :the troops at Aldershot on Monday, the 29th inst. CRICKET. THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD v. THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. Oue of the most brilliant and fashionable assemblages ever seen at a cricket match assembled yesterday at Lord's ground. The spectators were at least 6,000, including a vast number of the fair sex, There was a complete block of carriages, many of them containing fair occupants ; the handsome turns-out of many fours-in-hand were also con spicuous. In the early part of the morning great attention was paid to the ground to get good wickets, and they cer tainly played very well, but one morning's care is not suffi cient to get a ground in good order. Soon after 12 o'clock the game commenced, Cambridge taking possession of the wickets, Messrs. R. D. Walker and A. S. Teape being the opponents with the ball. Mr. Tuck marked 7, in which was a 2 ; and the Hon. T, de Grey contributed 12 very carefully by two 4's and singles. Mr. Marshall did not score. Mr. Scott went on bowling for a short time, and succeeded in disposing of Mr. Daniel for 7, in which were two 3's. The Hon, C. G. Lyttelton here made a good stand, but lost his companions successively to the close of the innings. Mr. Booth marked 9 by some fine hits for 3 each, and Mr. Plowden added a single. The others not scoring, the Hon. C. G. Lyttelton carried out his bat with 20, obtained in a dashing manner : among his figures were three 3's and a '2. The bowling and general fielding of Oxford were in every way excellent. Ihe innings was over in less than two hours. The wickets fell quickly, and in the following man ner-one for 17, two for 17, three for 19, four for 32, five for 32, six for 54, seven for 54, eight for 63, nine for 63, ten for 65. After a brief interval, Oxford sent to the wickets Mr. T. P. Gamier and Mr. R. D. Walker against the bowling of Mr_ Plowden and Mr. Collins. Both batsmen began to make runs immediately, which caused an impression that Oxford would gain a much larger score than Cambridge; but how far this was borne out the chances in cricket will be shown in the sequel. Mr. Gamier, with a neat defence, marked eight by a 4, a 3, and a single--one wicket and 17 runs. Mr. Wright came next, but did not add to the score -two wickets and 19 rune. Mr. Bull then went to the vacant wicket, but soon after Mr. Collins scat tered the stumps of Mr. Walker, after contribut ing 10, comprising a 4 and a 3 - three wickets and 19 runs. Messrs. Plowden and Collins were bowling extremely well, and were aided by some excellent fielding. Mr. Mitchell, a very fine bat, was got rid of for two, Mr. Daniel cleverly catching him off Mr. Collins-four wickets and 21 runs. Mr. Bull added a single only-five wickets and 21 runs. Mr. Evans next faced Mr. Inge, but the latter was smartly caught out directly after by the wicket-keeper (Hon. C. G. Lyttelton) for 5-six wickets and 43 runs. Mr. Voules contributed 4, previous to which, however, Mr. Evans was dismissed by Mr. Plowden for a well-played innings of 25, in which were three 4's and three 3's-seven wickets and 56 runs. Mr. Haygarth did not alter the score, neither did Mr. Teape. Mr.Voules's wicket was the ninth to fall, Mr. Scott carrying his bat out without scoring. Total of the innings, 59-six in a minority of their opponents. Towards the close of the innings Mr. Helm relieved Mr. Collins of the ball, and took a wicket. Fine fielding throughout. Cambridge then entered on their second innings, but only two made a stand- Hon. T. de Grey and Mr. Helm ; the former went in first, end ably defended his wicket, losing eight companions, his score of 24 comprised v. 4, a 3, and five 2's. Mr. Helm quickly put his 11 runs together, by three 3's and a 2. Mr. Hope Grant was not out with 4, a 3, and a single. Messrs. Voules and Teape's bowling was first-class, as wag also the out-fielding. Pre vious to the last wicket falling Mr. Scott took up the bowling Porn Mr. Teape, and was successful in lowering the stumps. Total of the innings, 61; leaving Oxford 68 to get to win. One wicket fell for 0, two for 2, three for 5, four for 17, five for '22, six for 23, seven f0r.36, eight for 45, nine for 48, ten for 61. When the stumps were drawn for the Coy Oxford had lost one wicket for 3 runs, the score standing as fol lows .-Cambridge, Ist inuinge, 65 ; 2d innings, 61-total, 126. o;ford, Ist innings, 59 ; 2d innings, 3-total, 62, SECOND EDITION.

The Marquis of NORMANBY again brought the case of Nlr. Bishop under the consideration of their lordships, and complained of the apathy of her Majesty's Government in not urging the Italian Government to liberate that gentle man from further imprisonment. Earl RUSSELL in effect repeated the answer he had given the other evening, which was to the effect that Mr. Bishop would be released as soon as brigandage was sup pressed. The Italian Government had stated that in the present state of SAithern Italy, and with a due regard to justice in the case of their own subjects convicted of a similar offence, they could not liberate Mr. Bishop at present, but that they would release him at the first favourable oppor tunity. 'The Earl of HARDWICKE did not believe that brigandage would be suppressed during his lifetime, and under such circumstances there was more necessity than ever of the British Government urging his release. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. The Earl of RARDWICKE said that on Thursday he would •ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a question with respect to the proclamation said to have been issued at Coda announcing the annexation of the lonian Islands to ( 4 reece.

The Tomato case was again brought under notice yester day at Tattersalls, when it was decided by Admiral Roue and his colleagues that the committee who pronounced the decision declaring all bets off had no power to deal with the case. It is to be hoped that the Knowsley case will be dealt with in the same manner. The Newcastle Meeting commences to-day, but to-morrow is the principal day, when every establishment is shut as closely as on Sunday, and the whole population betakes itself to the Moor to wit ness the Northumberland Plate, which may be termed the Chester Cup of its district. The handicap for the present race is one of the best Mr. Johnson has ever made, and contrasts very favourably with some that have recently come off in the South, for out of 52 subscriptions there have only been 18 forfeits. The field will be made up from the following : —.. _ Horse. Rider. Carbineer, 5 yrs, Bst 121 b A. Edwards. Caller Ou, 5 yrs, Bst 81b The Monk, 6 yrs, 7st 51b Midgley. Stanton, 5 yrs, 7st 91b Oldminster, 5 yrs, Bst 31b Lothians' King, b yrsy ist 31b Doefoot, 5 yrs, 7st 31b . . Doyle. Polynesia, 4 yrs, 7tt Pilot, 4 yrs, Gst 91b Bohemian, 3 yrs, 6st .. Daniel O'Connell, 3 yrs, Set 1211) Alice, 3 yrs, sst 101 b Brilliant, 5 yrs, Bst Carbineer, who will carry the Zetland spots, has not run since York, where, in the Great Northern Handicap, he failed to realise the anticipations that had been formed of him. This was owing to the slowness of the pace for the first mile and a half. Now, in all probability, there will be a stronger pace ; and, if so, the horse that could beat Asteroid at even weights last year for the Queen's Vase at Ascot, must have the finest chance, on this occasion, cf proving he has lost none of his form. On Monday week I selected him as the very best horse in the race, when he was never mentioned in the betting; and those who followed my advice must now have rare hedging at his present short price. I fully expect to see him first favourite at starting, and also to carry Lord Zetland's colours first past the post. Caller Ou carries three pounds less than she had on in the Ascot Cup, where she was nowhere to Tim Whiffler and Backstone ; and if she could not get before Isoline at their respective weights, I do not imagine with all the assistance that Ald croft can give her she can carry off this handicap, more especially as she has been Queen's Plate gathering so much within the last three weeks. Still she may get a place, for the distance will be no object to her. Adventurer has still plenty of friends who are only waiting for a stable demonstration to back him, notwithstanding his high weight and recent severe work. Good horse as I have always contended him to be, still he was so shin-sore when he pulled up after the Queen's Vase, it strikes me he will not be himself again for some time ; and as the course is so rough a cne, he is sure to feel it, so I must give up all hope of Adventurer for the present. Doefoot is not at all badly in, even with her penalty, and will run well; but as I have always seen her perform better over a mile and a half than two miles, I cannot recommend Doefoot to your readers for this event. The Monk has been so very leniently treated by the handicapper that he was instantly nibbled at by the public, and a shorter price taken than his owner would seem to relish, for he went out of the market after a very short stay. Should he return to his old price, which his owner's money would soon bring him to, I think he will be found better than the Ascot Stakes winner, and the best outsider in the race. Captain Crow carries a pound less than he did in the Ascot Stakes, in which he was a bad fourth ; but as the distance now is half a mile shorter, the change may be all the better for the Captain, who, like the Monk, is a good outsider. Polynesia won twice out of the five times she ran last year, her best. performance being in the Doncaster Stakes , in which she beat Buckenham very cleverly. She is a fine mare and leniently handicapped, and of course if Buckenham was in in the Parkhill she was nowhere to Iniperatrice, Hurricane, at about the same weight, the race wo uld be over. But as the conclusion the distance will sto p her. The Birthday and the Maid of Masham filly, I am afraid I must come to filly is very moderate, as is likewise The Pilot, who ran ig times last year without scoring a race—a sufficient reason Pro logue has nothing to carry, and I do not think would mi n d for my not putting you r readers under his guidance. the course, but she wants speed to find her way home in Trust is not to be trusted. If I place them i t n hi tsh7fmolPanlewing order I think I shall not be far from the mark : CARBINEER 1 CALLER OU 9 LOTHIAN'S KING .............. 3 The other events depend so much on previous running that I will not venture an opinion upon them. With re gard to the Goodwood Stakes my present impression is that Canzonette will be found the beat of William Day's lot, and that Myrtle will win the Goodwood Cup.
