HER , MAJESTY'S MAJESTY'S THEATRE. LIICREZIA BORGIA. Faat Appearance of Mme. BARBIERI MlNl.—Mdlle. ALBONI. TO-510BROW, TUDAT, August 5, will be presented Donizetti's celebrated Opera The period is rapidly approaching when her MA JESTY in person will prorogue the two Houses of the Legislature. Whatever remains to be accomplished, therefore, either in the Lords or Commons is being hurried through the remaining stages, in order to leave as little as possible over to the next session for ulterior settlement. Such is the course habitually pursued by the Imperial Parliament, and, all things considered, it is one in many respects highly satis factory. It would of course be preferable to witness on the part of the Legislature a more judiciously regulated method of con ducting the business of the country. It would be more agreeable to witness, for example, a certain unity throughout the whole of a session, instead of seeing, as we do, the first half of each frittered away in useless discussions and reiterated adjournments, while the close consists principally of precipitate en deavours to hurry through all the work permitted to accumulate in consequence of numberless procrasti nations. The contrast presented by the speed of le gislation in both Houses of Parliament at the ter mination, and the tardiness of legislation at the commencement, brings to recollection those variations in the elliptical movement of a planet which puzzled the earlier astronomers in their calculations. Among all this apparent confusion, however, as in the me chanism of the solar system, there is an invariable harmony—a harmony both of purpose and of accom plishment. Taking a retrospective glance at the la bours of the Parliament towards the conclusion of a cession, the journalist, as the mouthpiece of public opinion, invariably finds reason for regret as well as for exultation—regret at what still requires the interposition of the powers of the State, exulta tion at each of the beneficial changes which have been accomplished. From such backward glances it is that we are enabled to perceive the probabilities of na tional advancement, estimating the chances of future from the certainties of past improvement. Besides which, the scrutiny of those proceedings, more par ticularly in reference to the House of Commons, prove beneficial, not only to the public at large, but especially, and in a very peculiar manner, to the po pular representatives themselves. It enables the more intelligent Members of the Lower House to calculate from all that has been actually done what may in addition to this be reasonably accom plished in those reforms, to which, maybe, they have pledged themselves ou the hustings to their respective constituencies. It empowers them to conjecture, with some degree of accuracy, the probabilities of failure in matters where, of late, the community have ex perienced some severe legislative disappointments. By such considerations as these the retrospect of the Parliamentary session becomes fruitful of good, and the nation finds at each successive prorogation an oppor tunity of scanning its prosperity with something like a reasonable degree of deliberation. Whatever may be thought of the session which is now on the very eve of its conclusion, it must be ad mitted on all hands that it has been one rather of struggle than of substantial realization. Several events have conspired to render 1851 memorable in reference to other matters rather than to reforms in the Imperial Legislature. The Great Industrial Ex hibition for one thing has monopolised so large a portion of the public attention, and of the na tional energies, that there cannot be much surprise entertained at a result which would have been incon testably lamentable under any other circumstances. There have been, moreover, relations of amity to be cultivated with continental powers after their ex trication from the difficulties of revolution, such as materially assisted in distracting the regard of the community from the progress made by constitutional reform in the Houses of Lords and Commons. In ternational friendships, strengthened in a manner more remarkable than can be called to mind in any preceding year, render 1851 satisfactory in one particular at least, what though it may be fraught with so many regrets in reference to long desired innovations. Beneficial changes, nevertheless, have been secured in like manner in one or two of the departments of the Administration in the course of the session just approaching its termination. It will not very speedily be forgotten that it was during this session that the country was at length relieved from the incubus of the window- tax—an evil which was, how ever, imposed in another form almost as heavily in the shape of a tax upon houses. During the Parlia mentary Session of 18.51, again, the second three years of income-tax was closed with its moderated re-imposi tion for twelve months additional. Then, moreover, it has been within this interval that the people have witnessed with delight the tardy, and, perhaps, on 1 that very account, thrice satisfactory changes recently ' introduced in the administration of affairs at the Ad miralty. Together with these gratifying changes, it would unquestionably have been a source of profound gratification to the multitude to have been enabled to enumerate further postal improvements and sanitary reforms, and reductions in the amount of the annual expenditure. Such reasons for additional exultation, however, have unhappily been denied to us, and we can only cherish these things in our remembrance as matters for ulterior achievement. Whether the country will nd reason, moreover, for rejoicing in the completion of the Bill relating to the extension of the county courts, to the amendment of the laws relating to patents, or to the gigantic changes long required in reference to the management of affairs in Chancery, still remains problematical, so that we shall continue to watch the proceedings of the next few days in. the Lords and Commons with unabated or rather increasing solicitude. However much, nevertheless, the community may find cause to regret the postponement of any or all of the last-mentioned innovations, it should be remembered that that post ponement will only be for a very moderate time indeed, only, in fact, until the period when Parliament shall again have assembled. For upon the necessity of the changes specified there are no longer two opi nions within or without the walls of the Legislature. The United States foc one thing have shamed us into the movement of reform directed against the old ricketty system of the Court of Chancery. The facts collected together by inquiry, and forced upon general appreciation by experience, in regard to the injury inflicted upon inventors by the patent laws have compelled the Le gislature at last to step in to the relief of science at the bidding of her MAJESTY'S Government. In reference, like wise, to the County Courts, the extraordinary ad vantages accruing to the people from their original establishment .bave induced reformers to perceive the advisability of agreeing as to their extension. There fore it is, we repeat, that if delayed, these three im provements are only delayed for a very moderate and calculable interval, namely, until such time as Parliament shall in due course be re-assembled. Not so with reference to a variety of other changes equally desirable, the accomplishment of which will necessitate the utmost exertions on the part of those genuine upholders of reform who can be enumerated among the ranks of the popular representatives. Hence we cannot but reiterate that on surveying the present session retrospectively, we do so, perhaps, more than ever with mingled sentiments of regret and exultation.

' D a y after the d cases are brought forward, affording useful lessons as to the necessity of keeping the passions under con trol—of re cogn i s i ng the first principle of soc i ety , that every man must surrender a certain portion o f hi s natural liberty in return for the advantages which he derives from his social position. The illus.. trations are, however, generally taken from persons of humble position. A man without education, ignorant of the law and of the duty which he owes to the community, may give vent to a naturally b ru t a l dia. position, may assault his unoffending wife, or assail his neighbour without provocation ; nay, he may attack a casual passer-by, when in the mood for " running a muck," and that without premeditation or deliberation, the ill-humour of the moment over coming all prudential considerations as to the pro bable results. In every such case the party is justly treated with stringent severity ; the atrocity of his conduct is clearly pointed out ; the inexorable jus tice tests to the utmost the powers conferred by the Legislature. It is true that he may merely impose a fine, but the amount is generally something beyond the possibility of liquidation. The most brilliant visions of the delinquent had never aspired to the possession of "five pounds." The sale of all his earthly possessions would not realize anything like the amount. He must, therefore, perforce submit to the alternative, and work out his three months' " hard labour" in expiation of his offence. The worthy ma gistrate is well contented ; he has performed his duty. The majesty of the law has been vindicated, and although the culprit may have a helpless wife and innocent children, no relaxation can be allowed, and the stringent severity of the sentence must remain unaltered. Occasionally, however, cases of a very different character are br oug ht f orwar d, w h ere th ere are no extenuating circumsta n c es , and the rank and station of the party implicated materially aggravate the nature of the offence. A person supposed to be "an officer and a gentleman," may be shown to have coolly and with malice aforethought planned out the general annoyance of such of his fellow-subjects as may have the misfor tune to be brought into contact with him. He may procure the most unsavoury missiles, with which to insult and injure the passers-by, but that is of little consequence. It is only a little fun, and the witty individual, if detected, must be treated with leniency and consideration, and his peccadilloes slurred over as gently as possible. A fine may be inflicted, but 21., or even 21, can be a matter of but little importance to the aristocratic jester. The payment there of will not unfurnish his apartments, leave his wife without a bed, or his children without food. None of his family will be consigned to the tender mercies of the union workhouse, in consequence of the compulsory absence of their provider, and his conse quent inability to provide their daily bread ; a 'mere temporary inconvenience will be the only result. Ha may think that he had enjoyed an ex pensive luxury, that he could have had an excellent dinner, or a stall at the opera, fol lowed by a champagne supper and other agremens, for less money; but that is all. He will speedily dismiss the unpleasant subject from his recollection, and it will cease to be thought of with bitterness or annoyance. But is this quite fair ? Is it the equal and impartial justice which we are desirous of seeing enforced against all offenders ? We fear that few, if any of the community will think so, except the parties implicated, who may well congratulate themselves upon their easy escape. The latest illustration we borrow from the South wark Police-court, where two gentlemen (! !) Messrs. DAVID and WILLIAM EDWARDS (the former said to be a magistrate in South Wales), were brought up charged with smoking in a railway car riage belonging to the Croydon Railway Company, and the "J. P." with having grossly assaulted a pas senger who ventured to remonstrate with him for the infringement of the salutary regulation against smoking. As to the mere fact of taking a:cigar, that if agreed to by every person present, might be a very venial offence. It is true that it is forbidden under the general rules and orders,of each• company, but the prohibition is en forced for the comfort and convenience of the entire body, and if there was a general dispensation, and that the assent of all parties concerned had been pre viously obtained, we venture to affirm that there would be no complaint or prosecution on the part of any company. The excellent J. P. and his companions did not, however, think it necessary to demand any such permission. Al though several females were in the carriage, they commenced smoking at once, and when a gentleman who bad heard the unavailing complaints of the ladies was induced to interfere, the worthy J. P. pushed the cigar he was smoking into the face of the party, and then struck him "several severe blows on the eyes which rendered him insensible for some time." Those gross improprieties were of course resented, but Ate J. P., who seemed to think that his position gave hies the privilege of dealing with all persons not in the commission as he thought proper, declared that " he was a magistrate, and he defied any b---- magistrate to interfere with him." Mr. JARDINE, before whom the case was inves tigated, very properly animadverted on the dis graceful conduct of persons who should have known better, and ended his lecture by fining them each 10s. for smoking in the railway carriage, and the J. P. the further sum of 40s. for the assault. It is unnecessary to say that the fines were immediately paid. Such persons are seldom driven to the House of Cor rection from any pecuniary failure. It must, how ever, be manifest how inadequate was the penalty for such conduct, and how unfit Mr. D. EDWARDS must be to preside on the bench of justice. We do not blame Mr. JARDINE, but the state of the law, that did not enable him to deal with the sub ject in a fitting manner. In the mean time we trust that the attention of Lord TRURO may be called to the subject. The army and the magistracy should be purged of all those who do not know how to con duct themselves as gentlemen on all occasions. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST RAILWAY.

London Terminus, Aug. 4, 1851. CABINET COUNCIL THIS DAY.—A Cabinet Council (the List, we believe, but one this session) was held at the Foreign-office to-day at one o'clock. The Ministers present were—Lord John Russell, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Earl of Carlisle, Earl Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Lord Broughton de Gyfford, the Lord Chancellor, Sir Francis T. Baring, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who with Sir Francis, arrived in town to-day from a visit of inspection to the Channel Islands; and the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, Sir George Grey, and Mr. Fox Mettle, were absent through indisposition. Tan SESSION.—The annual Ministerial fish dinner, in anticipation of the close of the Parliamentary session, was held on Baturday at the Trafalgar at Greenwich. The com pany proceeded from Hungerford pier, at five o'clock, in the steamer Waterman No. 12, and sat down to dinner at six o'clock, under the presidency of Sir Alexander Cockburn. The following members of the Government and of the Royal household were present on the occasion : —Lard John Rus sell, Lord Palmerston, Lord Grey, the Marquis of Westmin ster, Lord Clanricarde, Earl of Morley, Lord Clarence Paget, Admiral Dundas, General Fox, Hon. W. Cowper, Mr. R. W. Grey, Mr. Baiaes, Lord Marcus Hill , Mr. ornewall Lewis, Mr. Hawes, Sir W. G. Craig, Mr. Bellew, Mr. Rich, the Attorney-General, and the Solicitor-General. PRINCE HOHENLOHE AT ST. GEORGE'S, SOUTH- , WARE.—Yesterday morning the Rev. Prince Hohenlohe offi ciated at mass at St. George's. A somewhat general expec tation that the Prince would preach was disappointed ; but the assistance at this celebration of so near a relative of Royalty was of itself a great satisfaction to the very nu merous congregation, Protestant as well as Catholic, which attended. APOTHECARIES' HALL.—The following are :the names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practise on Friday, August 1, 1851: —Frank James Wilson Packman, Puckeridge, Herta ; Henry Seatle, Ulverstone, Lancashire ; Alexander Fraser Bayne, Reading; Julius Wiles, Hitchin, Tierts. HEAT OF THE WEATHER.—Yesterday the heat was excessive ; at noon the barometer stood, at the Royal Hu mane Society's Receiving House, Hyde-park, 110 Faht. in the sun, and 84 Faht. in the shade. It is calculated that at least 14,000 persons bathed in the Serpentine morning and evening.. The day altogether was the hottest that has been experienced this summer. STEAM-BOAT TRAVELLING ON THE THAMES.—The number of persons who travelled on the river Thames yester day exceeded all previous occasions, arising from the im mense numbers of visitors to the Great Exhibition; from the piers at London, Blackfriars, and Hungerford Briges alone, more than 45,000 embarked. The halfpenny steam-boats, the Kew, Richmond. and Gravesend boats were crowded, and it is calculated that at least 2.:0,00i persons travelled on the Thames yesterday. CA.NTERHUItY ASSOCIATION.—Mr. Aglionhy's Bill, to amend an Act empowering the Canterbury Association to dispose of certain lands in New Zealand, has been printed. It proposes that power should be given to the association to constitute a managing committee in the settlement having such powers as the association should confer upon them. The association will have power to appropriate land for public purposes, and to prepare for occupation the unappropriated land of the settlement, and to determine disputes respecting the enjoyment of licences. Any further grants of land will be made subject to prior provisions respecting the settlement. It is proposed that the Bill should extend to the colony of New Zealand. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Pari3 journals of Saturday and of yesterday. They all contain lengthened accounts of the splendid reception given by the authorities of the city of Paris to the LORD MAYOR of London, and their other English visitors. These accounts will be found in detail in another column. Railways. The appointment of the Committee of Permanence is considered by all the journals the first overt act of the new alliance, patched up between the ElyEes and the parti-pretre section of the Legitimatists. In commenting on the part played by M. BERRYER in this strange coalition, the Republique says— "ln a short time hence, M. Berryer, suffering himself from the falseness of his position, will be obliged to abandon the white flag and to frankly declare himself Bonapartist. That necessity will become so much the more imperative that the candidateship of the Prince de Joinville, which, it is declared, will be shortly put forth by the Orleanists, will ob lige each man to place himself under the ban ner of his party, end will forcedly put an end to this heterogeneous co ition, this shameless masquerade, which, under the time of the party of order has col lected together it concileable enemies is a common hatred of the Republic. If that candidateship is con firmed, it will replace each in the verity of his situation. The conciliating Legitimatists, abandoning a name which does not belong to them any longer, will be defi nitively enrolled under the banners of the Dix D6,simbre. The Orleanists will pass to the Prince de Joinville; the Republicans will remain what they are. As to the sin cere Legitimatists, they have not even the resource of bringing forward the candidateship of Henry V., for that would be to again deny royalty; and of all the parties which will dispute with each other the sympathies of France, it is still the Republicans with whom the honest Legitimatists %ill have the greatest number of points of contact. The Republic, in fact, if it excludes the pre tensions of M. de Chsmbord, at least does not bind France to a pretender or rival family." The Orleanist organ, the Ordre, considers the result of the ballot as a " heavy blow and a great discouragement" to Orleanism. It says— " At present it is known that the princes of the house of Orleans 'remain immoveably faithful to the principle of national sovereignty, and the Legitimatists are much moved by the fact. Not being able to do anything for their own triumph, and obliged to recoil after having shouted out, like their forefathers, En avant En avant ! they manifest for the-most part more favourable disposi tions towards the Ely see. Then at once the situation is re considered ; the haughty indignation expressed at Dijon against the old parties falls to the ground, and is dissipated like the foam of the sea after a storm. Is it the question, for instance, to name the Permanent Com mittee, the meeting of the friends of the Elyk‘a easily come to an arrangement with the Legitimatists; the mi nisters of the orator of Dijon place their hand in the hand of M. Berryer and M. de Falloux, and from that unexpected concert there issues a committee of 25, in which the Legitimatists and the members joining in the fusion reckon 14, whilst one is liberally conceded to the Republican opinion." The following is the official result of the election for the department du Nord : Number of votes . M. Vaisse —• • ••• M. Delarozere 11,917 Lost votes 6 ;628 The number of votes required to validate the elec tion being only 36,250, M. Vaisse was declared to be duly elected.

The Court is expected to return from Cintra imme diately.

Baron VAN NAVEL desirous of sparing the Minister of Justice a de feat, which would have compelled him to retire, proposed that the debate on that law should be de ferred to next session, which is equivalent to the reading of the Bill this day six months in England.

A letter from Rome of the 24th ult. announces that the Governor of Lugo has been arrested upon the singular charge of being an accomplice of the brigands who infest the country, notwithstanding the great zeal he displayed a few months ago against the band of Il Passatore—a zeal which the Government was on the point of rewarding with a medal of merit, when these strange accusations were brought against him. A telegraphic dispatch received at Vienna, dated Rome, 22d ult., says : " General Gemeau,Commander-in-Chief of the French troops, has, without the permission of the Roman Go vernment, seized all the gunpowder in the powder ma gazines, and has hadit conveyed to the Castle of St. Angelo, where he has roman cannon pointed 011 the city. This act has increased the ill-feeling which already ex isted against the French." INCOME-TAX COMMITTEE'S REPORT.—The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the present mode of as sessing and collecting the income and property-tax, and to consider whether any other system of levying the same, so as to render the tax more equitable, can be adopted, to whom a petition from the provost, magistrates, and council of the royal burgh of Dunfermline was referred, have made the following report :—" That the Committee have determined, considering the advanced period of the session, and the state of the busi ness of the House, that their proceeding be now closed. That it is not expedient, In the present very incomplete state of the inquiry, to report the evidence to the House. That, in the opinion of this Committee, a Committee should be ap pointed next session for the purpose of continuing this in quiry."

Thring, terminated on Friday last, when the following were elected for King's College as vacancies occur, v iz. :—Green, Reynolds, Stone, Mathias, Thackeray, Evered, Wilberforce, Harper, Carter, Sterry, Walford, Earle, Trenlett, Lambert, Shirley, Ward. The first nine boys kept the same position in which they stood last year. Foreshall, Coleringe ma., Wollaston, Thackeray ma., Goodall, and Bent ma., have been superannuated. Green stood as captain of the next year, but on Friday a resigna tion arrived in the college in his favour, which places Rey nolds as the captain. This gentleman gained Davies's task prize, Easter, 1850 ; Verse prize election, 1850 ; Newcastle medallist, 1850 and 1851 ; sent up for good twenty-four times.

The school re-opens on Sept. 8, after an extra week's holidays, given in honour of her Majesty and Prince Albert's visit to the College. The collegers and town boys return on the 13th, and on the following week the whole of the school will have assembled. FATAL ACCIDENT AT BARNES RAILWAY-BRIDGE. — On Friday evening, about seven o'clock, a lighterman, named Winter, well known at Brantford and Richmond, was taking two barges, fastened together, down the river at the turn of the tide, both of which were empty, when, in passing under the noble iron-girder bridge, which consists of only three arches of immense span, and upon which the loop line crosses the Thames, Winter intended to loosen one barge for some purpose at present unexplained, and as they separated, he fell between them, and the tide being at its turn from high water, the depth was very great. The courageous ap prentice bent over to rescue his master, and in, and had the narrowest escape of his life. The deceased sank under one of the barges and never rose again. Drags have been in constant use, but the body is not recovered, and deceased has left a wife and six children. Railways. I Paid. Nominal Prices. Business dell to-day. Aberdeen • • all 1 dig.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 8,000 bales, comprising about 6,500 Ame rican, 250 Pernam and Maranham at 54d. to 6d., 50 Bahia at sd. to 6(1., 50 Egyptian at 6d. to 6id., 1,000 Surat at 2 d, to 30., and 120 Sea Island at 101 to Is. per lb. The market closed firmly.—Railway Shares were flat at rather lower prices. Wheat is down 2s. per quarter today owing to the fine weather. In continuation of the commercial statistics of the past month, and with a desire to compare notes and elicit different views, Mr. 11. R. Forrest writes of the Man chester market that there has been a general demand for yarns and most descriptions of cloth, except those adapted to the India and China markets. The decline which had previously taken place in the value of cotton, and which was still going on, had little or no effect in checking the operations of buyers, and consequently the induce ment to increase production became irresistable. No better evidence of a good consumptive demand can bo afforded, than that the prices of some of those fabrics which ar© composed chiefly of cotton, should be so well maintained, whilst a rapid fall in its value was going on. The increase in the consumption of cotton is now probably between 3,000 to 4,000 bales over what it was two months ago, and is estimated at 30,000 bales and upwards per week. Seeing that machinery, which a few weeks ago was standing still, is now✓ fully at work, and that spinners and manufacturers, who then produced as little as pos sible to neutralise the effects of dear cotton, are now exerting themselves to make up for past losses, it is ad visable to consider how far such a change iu the relative position of cotton and its products is likely to affect the value of each. The state of the Bradford market is thus described by Mr. G. F. Maudley:—. " The value of Wool is steadily maintained, at the same time transactions continue to be as contracted as possib!e, as staplers have no inducement to extend their operations beyond the necessities of the hour. Yarns, it is generally admitted, are scarcely netting, at present rates, first cost, and in many cases spinners aro working at a loss. It may be remembered that so far back as October last I foresaw that the rapid expansion of the mechanical appliances would outstrip the demand, and lead to the present results. " For some time past a good many frames have been idle, and before the values of Yarns can foe adjusted to a fairly remunerative rate, a good many more must be thrown out of gear, unless a very much enlarged demand spring up—an event at present not highly probable. Piece Goods are in pretty good demand and stocks moderately light, yet prices, with the exception of Demi Lustres, Orleans, and all sorts of Alpacas, are rather in favour of buyers. On the whole the market is pretty steady, and no great fluctuations, either way, are likely to take place immediately." - - The official returns of the Board of Trade were alluded to on Saturday as to gross results, and we may now add that the increase of exports during the month arose upon all our principal manufactures and products, including textile goods, yarns, glass, hardware and cut lery, leather, machinery, metals, and soap. The imports of the month were larger as regards corn, hemp, hides, oil, sugar, tallow, tea, timber, spices, brandy, tobacco and cotton, and sheeps' wool, but smaller as respects provisions, flax, rum, and a few other articles. The shipping returns inwards stand for the month thus:— 1850. 1851. Tons. Tuns. Foreign trade Coasting The ships of the United Kingdom and its dependen cies engaged in the foreign trade increased during the month from 329,560 to 379,365 tons. The steam-ship Canada has arrived from New York. There was nothing new in the Stock Market, but money being easy, it aas not unlikely some improvement would occur. The exports of specie during the week were 2.089,485 dollars, making the total for 1851 21,843,000 dollars. A party writes,—' It will be seen by this that the outward movement of specie still con tinues. It is, however, only every other week that the shipments amount to such a large sum as reported above. The receipts from California contiuue large, and there is, therefore, nothing to apprehend from the large exportation. The steamships Brother Jonathan and Crescent City, from Chsgres, brought considerable gold dust on freight and in the banks of passengers. Several steamers had arrived at Panama from San Fran cisco, and, from the reports which have reached us, they brought down between four and five millions of gold dust. From the accounts received from the gold mines of California, we have every reason to believe that future shipments of gold dust from San Francisco will equal the most sanguine anti cipations, and that our estimate of five millions per month will be fully realized. Up to this time, our receipts are largely in excess of our shipments, and the probability is, that as the season advances, the monthly receipts will increase, and the monthly expor tation decrease. The public have become used to the active movement in the precious metals, and do not attract so much attention as the shipment of so much cotton or corn. Gold dust has become a staple product of the country, as much as either of the two articles named, and the exportation of it to any part of the world has an effect upon financial affairs abroad of a more favorable character than anything wo can send. " The most important feature in the exports of mer chandise, this week, is the active movement in bread stuffs. Nearly seventy-five thousand barrels of flour were shipped to Great Britain and Ireland during the past week. Very little cotton is going forward. But for our weekly shipments of specie, our imp ort trade wo u ld d. be running up a balance against u s of a most formi able amount. As it is, we do n ot more than equalise the trade, as is already shown by the high rates ruling for exchange." The Californian accounts are good, and over a mil lion of dollars in gold dust had been received at New promise had been disco- York. A silver mine of g reat vered. The Canadian advices state that the Government had submitted its usual financial statement. The colony i s congratulated upon its prosperity - , as shown by th e in creased duties upon various articles. It is intended to take off the tonnage duties, to reduce the duties on bank issues one-half upon certain conditions, the banks under taking to base some of their excess of issues over a cer tain amount upon public securities. Jamaica advices of Ju l y 14, via the States, mention that the English steamer to convey the mails to the colonies had not arrived from Mexico up to th a t d a t e , being a day behind. The weather was very warm, and labour was much wanted. The United States Government was not at all likely to enforce the Garay grant upon Mexico for the road across the isthmus of Tehuantepec, said would prefer a treaty upon the principle of that with New Granada, and with Mr. Clayton and Sir E. L. Buiwer. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 2cl inst. was rattier feeble for Dutch Bonds, and Spanish were barely so good. Brazlian wer e i n d eman d .

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAV.) CORN EXC RAN GE—(MONDAY). The supplies of English Wheat on offer in most of the provincial markets held on Saturday were but n 3 e: derate. For most kinds, the demand r u l e d somew hat inactive, at about stationary prices. Fine Wheat, and the beet grinding Barley, was quite dear. In other qualities exceedingly little was " e--- a i No change took place in Malt, but Oats and Indian Corn were lower to purchase. Beans, Peas, and Flour, somewhat inactive. Flour foreign Later advises from New York inform us t hat b ° r of was mostly held at full prices, although the e l- e ach, foreign orders on the market was small. In th e a r d e . as well as in the Polish and Russian markets, the 'nand has fallen off. e ived Very limited supplies of English Grain wer e rec rts up to our market last week. From abroad, th e iV o ley amounted to 20.676 quarters of Wheat, 11 , 544 Da Lie_ , 83,833 Oats, 1,210 Rye, 96 Peas, 15 Tares, 3, 505 ° ai 6 seed. 140 Rapeseed, 5 Mustard, 1,206 sundry seeds, o,'• sacks arid 8,519 brls Flour. The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to this ni . ,o,r_r2; ing's market from Essex was moderate—that from 1 eu , t the limited. From all other quarters by land carriage arrivals were comparatively small, but in good saleable_ condition. Notwithstanding the; the show of the samplde e of both red and white was by no me ans lar g e, s mand for all descriptions, owing to the favourable ac' counts respecting the appearance of the crops and the. thin attendance of buyers, toget her with the pressure of foreign Flour, was in a very depressed state, at a decline in the prices of Monday last of 2s per quarter, and * total clearance was not effected. The cutting of Wheat commenced last week in Berk' shire, Hampshire, and Kent. `_i'o-day harvest operation g are becoming pretty gen eral u p on some of the ligh t 1605 in Essex. The quantity of fresh Foreign Wheat was but mode' rate; but that ex granary was somewhat extensive. For all descriptions we had scarcely any inquiry, and, in most instances, the currencies were nominally un li t tend. To effect sales, town rates must h a ve been so u ' milted to by the importers. Comparatively speaking, the number of floating car goes offering was very moderate, but millers riogtt.istiorßeiagrnleylngenerally were not buyers. tbaned hands at full iaro plee quantity of In Malt —the supply was th e market. shosv shown ; but u r i w n e d i b n a g d a larg o very dull. pikes, but all other kinds wer e veryfew transactions took place, at late currencies. of which was very moderato-- An immense quantity of foreign Oats being onotte'r the Oat trade ruled heavy, at a fall in value of i s P e quarter. au 1 Beans met a very dull inquiry, at prices barely eq to those of Monday last.
