Tne political apprehension which prevailed yes' er day afternoon, and caused a relapse in the funds, has partially subsided ; but there is in this respect no recovery. The markets generally are firmer. In foreign stocks the leading feature is the demand for Italian, which have been dealt in at 50. The cause is the belief that the financial measures projected in Florence will be successful, and that the deficient revenue will be supplemented by a loan of five to seven million sterling, to which the public will not be asked to subscribe. Railways are fl it upo❑ the bad traffics. Hudson's Bay shares are still firm. The discount market shows increased inactivity, the rate for the best commercial paper being 11 to per cent. The Ifolmsdale has arrived from port Phillip, with £204,800 iu Australian gold. Consols are a shade firmer at 91a to 041 for money, and 931 to 931- ex div. for account ; New and Reduced Three per Gents., 93,' to 931 ; India Five per Cents., steady, at 116 to 1161 ; Bank Stock, 246 to 248 ; ExAequer Bills, 3s to 8s prem. With the exception of Egyptian and Mexican, which aro flat, at a reduction of ,± to -5 per cent, foreign government securities are steady. Italian continue in favour, and the 1861 bonds at 491 to 501, are a further k per cent. better, 'flaking the rise per cent. since this time Yesterday. New Spanish are also firmer, at 36 to 364 : Greek are 131 to 131 ; Turkish (1865), 354 to 35g- ; Chilian (1866), 1021 to 1035 ; ditto (1867), 95.4 to 90 ; Egyptian (186-1), 81 to 82 ; ditto Railway Debentures, 91 to 92 ; Viceroy's Seven pes Cents., 72 to 725 ; and the Nine per Cents., 91 to 9114. American Securities are well supported. United States Five Twenty Bonds are quoted at 711 to 714 ; Erie Shares arc -j ; higher, at 45i to 451 ; Illinois, 951 to 951. English Railway shares are quiet, and prices show few alterations. - Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire is * better at 42 to 43, and Great Northern (A) also higher at 96 to 97, but a fall of 4 is established in Midlands at 1061 to 107 i, Great Western at 535 to 54, and London, Brighton, and South Coast ,at 531 to 531. Lancashire and York shire steady, 1271 to 1281 ; South Eastern, 751 to 761 ; London and North Western, 115 to 1151 ; Great Northern, 102 to 103 ; Great Eastern, 3:3 to 334 ; Metropolitan, 1115 to 112 ; Caledonian, 7ft to 75 ; London Chatham and Dover, 18/ to 19.

In Foreign Mining Shares, St. John del Reys are marked at 10 to 1774 ; Port Philip, 15 to 11 ; Chou tales, 14 to 2k, Miscellaneous Securities are steady. Anglo-Ameri can Telegraph is enquired for, at 224 to 235 ; Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent., 5 to 51 ; Hudson's Bay, 154- to 155 ; London General Omnibus, 14 to 24. The annual general meeting of the Vancouver Coat Mining Company has been called for the 28th inst., for the transaction of the ordinary business of the Company. The traffic receipts for the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway for the week ending March 28th show an increase of £904 ; and the receipts of the M a d ras R a il way f or th e wee k ending March 21st an increase of £1,071, as compared with the cor responding periods of 1867. The bar gold sent into the Bank of England yester day amounted to £46,000, making the balance for the week £290,000 in favour of the stock held. The City of Boston has arrived from New York with £155,000 in specie, and a further amount of £250,000 left that port yesterday for Europe. The biddings for £200,000 Council Bills on Cal cutta and Madras took place at the Bank yesterday. £198,000 were allotted to Calcutta, and £1,900 to Madras. the minimum was, as before, is lld on both presidencies, at which tenders will receive 38 per cent., and those above in full. These terms show no change in the demand. No tenders on Bombay were invited. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of £2,472 compared With the corresponding period of last year ; the Mid land an increase of £2,077 ; the Glasgow and South Western a decrease of £231 ; the Great Eastern an increase of £1,045 ; the Great Northern an increase of £857. Advices from Marseilles, dated last Monday, state that flour is rather firm in price, notwith standing lower prices of wheat, consequent upon the arrival of 330,000 hectolitres during the pre- N 101153 week, and of very fine weather for growing crops. Some of the merchants who held for higher prices were urging that the reduction could ❑ot be supported, because several most critic;! Nveeks have got to elapse before the harvest could possibly be gathered. Nevertheless, the fall in price was con siderable for grain upon the spot, but for future delivery it was less important. Madrid letters state that fears had been entertained of drought in various parts of Spain, and that the crops were suffering from want of moisture. Advices to the 18th state that abundance of rai❑ had fallen, and that fears of the harvest were consequently composed. Wheat had fallen in price at most of the interior markets. The liquidators of the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association have issued the report of the second year of their liquidation. The liabilities have been re duced to £1,476,193 17s 7d. The assets, exclusive of arrears of calls, and of the call due on the 15th I ns?, are stated to be £2,824,110 9s ld, some of N+liich, however, are held as security by creditors, Out, on the payment of each instalment of 2s 6d in the pound, one-eighth part of the whole of such secu rities will be released and become available for reali sation. The progress made in the realisation has been as great as circumstances have permitted ; and the call due on the 15th inst. was being paid as readily as either of the preceding calls. There were, how ever, large amounts of the preceding calls over due, for the recovery of which proceedings would beadopted. The directors of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company (Limited), have issued a circular to the Shareholders, formally announcing the successful close of the negotiations for working a union with the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and annexing a synopsis of the articles of contract, particulars of which have already been given. It is proposed to submit the accounts of the Anglo-American Company, up to the 30th April last, to the meeting, mhich will be held on Friday next. The revenue account for the nine months shows, a ft er p a yment of the interim dividend 9Juary last, an available balance of £ 44 , 562 °. 9dan. ' BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

LONDON AND PROVINCIAL TURKISH BATH COMPANY (LIMITED). The half-yearly meeting of the above company was held this day, when the accompanying report of the directors was unanimously adopted : " The directors beg to lay before the shareholders the following statement respecting the past half year made and vouched for by the auditor. It was my satisfaction to report to you on the last occa sion that the balance standing to the credit of the profit and loss account, viz., £1,937 2s. 4d., was the largest of any half year. I have the pleasure now to state that the balance standing to its credit, after providing for all depre ciation, is £2,334 11s. 10d., being k:,597 9s. 6d. more than the last half year, and £464 17s. Bd. in excess of the corresponding period of 1866 and 1867. They propose a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, amounting to £B7B. Since the opening of the bath there have been is sued—Daily tickets amounting to a total of 169,339 ; periodical ditto, 1,761 ; representing a money value of £28,468 12s. It is proposed that Colonel the Hon. 11. F. Keane be elected a director. They call attention to the following clause in the report which the shareholders adopted in October, 1865. The company has been hampered by the necessity of acquiring the building in Jertnyn-street known as St. James's Hotel,' which was neither available for the baths, nor capable of affording independent returns. On the reconstruction of this tene ment depends the prolongation of the lease, and the directors conceive that the enterprise is now arrived at such a point of certainty and prosperity sufficient to warrant the outlay. In re constructing the St. James's Hot e l the premises will be enlarged, and the chambers will be distributed so as to suit the class of persons desiring to take theta in connection with the Bah. It is pro posed to convene an extraordinary meeting at as early a period as possible, when a resolution will be submitted to the shareholders authorising the direc tors to undertake the new building and to raise funds for the purpose. Due notice will of course be given and estimates and calculation submitted." 111 A RKETS.—(7 his Day.) METROPOLITAN CATTLE, The supply of beasts was light, of other stock fair for Thursday, and the trade ruled dull. Of boasts there were 700, including 120 from abroad. Sales wore difficult except at lower prices, which were not freely taken and the consigns not cleared at a late hour. Of sheep and lambs the number offered was 11,830, in cluding 1,720 from the continent. Sales of both sheep and lambs were slow, and rates barely maintained. Of calves 450 were received, and they met a steady sale. Pork is unaltered. Quotations: 13, , ef, 3s 4d to 5s . 2(1; slioep, Bs 4d to 4s 10d veal, 3s 4d to 5s 6d ; pork, 3 s t o ls 6d*; lamb, 5s 8d to is. TALLOW. The market is dull and prices still drooping. Y.C. on the spot, 43s 3d ; June, 43s 3d ; lust three months, 43s 9d to 445. POTATOES. The demand is steady, and good samples continue scarce, giving firm support to prices. HAY AND STRAW. There were fair supplies at Whitechapel Market this morning, and a steady demand prevailed for good quali ties of haystuffs at late quotations. Meadow hay, 60s to 88s; clover, 60s to 103 s; straw, 28s to 34s per load. • COTTON. LIVERPOOL, May 21.—StOes probably 4,000 bales. Market quiet, and prices drooping. The following reflections are suggested to the Univers by the present state of Algeria France now knows thoroughly the situation of her Algerian colcn3 ; she knows it in the past, in the present, and perhaps in the future. All is fully explained in the letters which have passed between the Go vernor-General and the Archbishop—the one repre senting material force, who has hitherto done every thing; the other representing moral force, who hitherto has been unable to do anything. It is a complete failure. We have had 38 years of san guinary combats, of immense public works, of sterile peace. A million of men have been put to death ; many thousand millions of money expended ; Algeria is a tomb, or rather a gulf, and on the edge of that gulf all that we have obtained are famine, dis couragement, and despair ! All the blood that has been shed has not produced one ear of corn; and in that vast charnel- house war is the only seed which an intelligent eye can see shoot up. By the avowal of the Governor-Ganeral himself France cannot now count upon the fidslity of 20 Arabs. Does this come to pa,s because the Arab eeetns to be capable of gratitude, or is it because the Arab has no cause to be grateful? Whatever be the reason, such an avowal, coming from those who have all the power in their hands, is pregnant with ter rible consequences, for it prod Liras at the same time the resolution to make no change either in their system, or in the character of the population to which they have so fruitlessly applied it. What is to be done with those Arabs who will not become French citizens, and whom the Governor-General will not have converted to Christianity ?" The Univers goes on to recount the various attempts of former bishops to introduce the civilisation of Christianity among the native population, and the invariable resistance of the military authorities, and to that cause it attributes the present condition of the colony. _ _ The number of visitor at the Patent-office Museum, South Kensington, for the week ending May 16, was 2,435 ; total number siuca the opening of the mu seum, free daily (May 12, 1858), 1,298,147.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—UNPROVOKED AND BRUTAL ASSAULT.—John Sullivan, a labourer, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Mr. Perry, a painter, residing in Bird-street, Maryle bone. The complainant said he was at work yesterday, with others, at St. George's Barracks, when with out any provocation the prisoner's brother (who as well as the prisoner was also at work at the job) threw a pail of lime wash ever him, nearly blinding him, and then struck him. Directly afterwards the prisoner came up and said, " Stand aside and let me get at him," and then struck him a violent blow on the nose, causing it to bleed profusely. Mr. Knox asked the complainant whether it was anything of a trade affair. The complainant Kahl it was not, but that be had heard a good deal about fighting going on during he day. Walter Tacey, another workman, corroborated the complainant, and saiA that the assault was a most unprovoked one, and that he considered the complainant had had a fortunate escape from being blinded. Mr. Knox said it was a most brutal assault, ald he should commit the prisoner for two months with hard labour, and he would grant a warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner's brother. A MASTER CARMAN FINED FOR CRUELTY TO A lIORSE.—Mr. Edward Skeggs, a master carman, of No. 38, Watling-street, City, and Charles Roberts, a carman in his employ, appeared before Mr. Knox, the former to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of causing a horse to be tortured by hav ing it worked while in an unfit state, and the latter to answer a charge of having worked it. Sell, an officer of the above society, saw Roberts driving a horse attached to a van in Regent-street, the van being laden with iron goods. The horse was very old and lame, and had several sores about it. It fell down exhausted, and on the officer exa mining it he found that a piece of skin had been placed over one of the sores so as to screen it from observation. On the officer asking Roberts how he came to bring out the horse, he said that his master knew the condition of the horse. When the case was before the Court on the last occasion, Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded Roberts, and ordered the owner of the horse to be summoned, and on the case being renewed, Sell informed Mr. Knox that the horse bad since the adjournment been destroyed. Mr. Knox, after making some strong remarks on the case, fined Skeggs 40s. and colts, or a month, and Roberts 10s. and costs, or 14 days. THA HIES. MODERN ASTROLOGY.—A poor Irish woman came before Mr. Benson to complain of an astrologer in the vicinity of the London Hospital, who she said had annoyed her night and d a y, s l ee pi ng an d waking, for a long time past. Mr. Benson—What has he done ? Applicant—He has shut me up in his glass, in which other people can see other people both night and day. In *answer to further questions, the woman said the astrologer could see her all the way from the London Hospital t o W app i ng, w h ere s h e lived by means of his glass, and that he was con stantly looking at her. Mr. Benson—Who has told you this nonsense ? The woman, instead of answering this question, said, "I am a widow. I live by my needle." Mr. Benson—You had better attend to your worldly affairs and not think o f as t ro l ogers an d for pt u o n w e e - r t e o l l v e e r r s a ' you who are all i mpostors, an d h ave no or any one el se . Applicant—But the astrologer is always talking to me. A M p r p . i ß ieft en n s t o_ Th Benson—How —liro°uw does he talk to you? gh the glass, sir ; and he said he would kill me. Mr. Benson—ln what way did he say he would kill you ? would cook my goose. (L i a k u p g p i l l i t c e a r n o t—lle Said he ➢lr. Benson—ln what part of Wapping do you ice? Applicant—King-street, your worship. Roche, the gaoler— I'hat is in St. George-in-the- East. Mr. Benson asked the woman if sho could ac count for the astrologer persecuting her in the man ner he had done ? Applicant—l don't know, sir ;he keeps me on the rack ; ho looks up to me. A gentleman hid my nativity cast, and the astrologer keeps it in his glass. Mr. Benson was surprised that any married woman could pl ace credence i n th e cas ti ng o f nati vitiea, horoscopes, and astrology. The applicant ought to be above such nonsense, such rubbish. Applicant—lt is not all nonsense. It really is not, sir. Mr. Benson—lf you are not insane you ought to know better. Do you think if you were anywhere else you would be free from the arts of this wicked astrologer ? Applicant—No, sir; he has power over me all over the world. Mr. Benson — Then I am afraid if I interfere w ith him he will h ave power over me an d rule me with his rod. (L aughter.) Applicant—H e h as no power over magistrates. l‘lr. BalSon—l am very glad of that. (Loud laughter.) Have you any priest who will advise yOU? __ Applicant—ye s , Kelly. (Laugh ter.)to be sure, I have. Father Mr. Benson —I must have silence in Court. Now don't believe a word what silly people have told you about the astrologer. He can do you no harm—go to Father Kelly—he can give you very good advice. If Father Kelly will write to me I will attend to it. Applicant—The cunning man has me in his g l a ss. ow shall I get out o f it ? Mr. Benson—Break it. (Roars of laughter.) Now go to Father my good woman. The applicant slowly retired from the court. SPORTING INTELLI -ENOE• BATH RACE MEETING—Wm tizsnAlr.

JAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—Dus EVENING. The SPEAKER toek the Chair at 4 o'clock. THE IRISH CHURCH. Mr. G. HARDY gave notice that on the second reading of the Irish Church Suspensory Bill he should move that it be read a second time that day six months. (Hear, hear, and cheers from the Ministerial side of the house.) THE SCOTCH REFORM BILL. Mr. DISRAELI said a decision had been come to the other evening by the house, on the proposition of the hon. member for Montrose, which had rendered it necessary that the Government should consider the position in which such a decision had placed them. When the Government had determined not to uphold that proposal they had not received much sup port. On Monday night two important decisions had been arrived at, which affected the subject of the distribu tion of seats, and were opposed to the proposition of the Go. vernment. Her Majesty's Ministers had no desire to treat Scotland in any niggardly spirit, but the house in coming to its second decision affirmed principles of a very dif ferent character. The motion of the hon. member for Kilmarnock, if adopted, would establish household suf frage without any qualification iu a country where househo'ders did not hold houses. (Hear, hear.) He thought that the decision of the committee on that occa sion ivae arrived at under a feeling of misapprehension, as after the motion cf the hon. member fur Mon trose it was thought that the house would report progress. But, in his opinion, the house proceeded and arrived at a precipitate conc:usion, and that with but a very limited attendance of members. The course he pro peed, under the circumstances, to pursue on Moaday next was to induce the caminittee to reconsider the decision it had arrived at somewhat hastily. (11.3:10 He did not propose to ask the house to rest ere the two clauses which had been disapproved of, but what the Government pro posed wai to move the insertion of words in the bill to pro vide that nu elector forany of the burghs of Scotland should be entitled to vote who was not rated to the poor and paid his rates. (Hear, hear.) Such a proposal if agreed to would nut infringe the English principle. (Hear, hear.) It might be said that the Government by taking such a course was proposing new principles to the people of Scotland, but in reply to that he had only to say that such was not the case, as they were using the language of the act relating to the mode of voting as re spected the poor law in that country. Such a course he thought would vindicate the principles of the English bill and enable them to carry the Scotch Reform Bill to a happy conclusion, and that within a very few days. (Hear, hear.) Mr. P. WYNDHAM. said it was the opinion amongst several of thoss who sat around him that Government under all the circumstances would have resigned; but not having done so it seemed to be the desire of her Ma jesty's Government to adhere to a course which would draw down upon them the contempt of every right-thinking man, and which would render Parliamentary proceedings in a short time almost contemptible. It was said that the Opposition did not treat them with forbearance and misrepresented their views, but the fact was that the Government occu pied the; not enviable position of place without power— (hear,hear)—which he thought was not enough to satisfy a noble ambition. (Hear, hear.) They put forward principles one day which they withdrew the next. (Hear.) There was a limit to forbearance— (hear, hear)—and ho had to tell the right hon. gentleman that there were many who would not consent to be any longer dragged through the mud—(hear, hear)—let the position of the Ministry be what it may. ([fear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT thought that if an appeal to forbearance was made to them by the right hon. gentleman on the subject of the Scotch Reform Bill, he ought to be quite ready to make the same concessions to thorn on the sub ject of the Irish Church. If the right hon. gentleman de -1 sired smooth water, let him not himself disturb the pool. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BOUVERIE denied that the division on Friday night was the result of any sudden or hasty impulse. On the contrary, it was the result of a long and careful deli beration of the members for Scotland. (Hear, hear.) He thought the cours3 of the Government was degrading to the Crown, disgraceful to the Ministry, and destructive to the privileges of the House of Commons. He thought that the policy of her Majesty's Ministers was one ho could designate by no other term that of legerdemain (lloar, hear.) Mr. J. HARDY hoped, after what had taken place, the Scotch bill would be either thrown out or withdrawn. Mr. HIBBERT thought that, whatever alteration was made, a proposal ought to be introduced into the bill that those who sought to be exempted from the rates should not be placed upon the register. Sir R. KNIGHTLEY said he was induced to tolerate the present state of things only by the desire to put a stop to the present disturbing state of things. He had a great desire to see the Scotch and Irish Reform Bills passed, and if the Scotch members really desired to pass their Reform Bill, he did not see how it could be accelerated by turning out the present Ministry. (Hear, hear.) He had no desire to maintain the present Government in power fur a day longer than was necessary. (Hear, hear.) Pass the Scotch and Irish Reform Bills, and then turn the Go vernment out the rest day if they thought fit. • Mr. RENDAL denied that the decision taken by the member for Kilmarnock was the result of a deliberate conclasion. It was, ha contended altogether a catch vote. (Ht ar, hear.) Sir G. BO WYER condemned the conduct of tiro hon. member for Kilmarnock as derogatory t 3 the diguilY of Parliament. He thought that the proper course to pursue vvas not to go on bandy itihouse, but also the honour of the countey. H o co uld not see, although it had been ruled as being theg c harges, which if persevered iu cauld not b u t di sgrace within the privileges of the honourable member ft r Montrose, the justice of a proposal which endeavoured to benefit the respresentation of Scotland at the expense of that of England. He thought the right honourable gentleman had only done his duty by asking the house to reconsider the determination that had been arrived at the other evening. He considered the last division a chance division, and therefore he felt much satisfaction that the subject was to be again submitted to the decision of Parliament.
