LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 28, 1851. A fortnight can scarcely have elapsed before the Imperial Parliament will be prorogued. According to an official intimation, it may be observed elsewhere that the ceremony of prorogation will be conducted by her Most Gracious MAJESTY in person, and con sequently every eclat will accompany the close of the legislative session of a year already rendered remark able by its pageantries. The national representatives may, therefore, look forward to a participation in the famous sports of the 12th proximo, when the pleasures of the wild moors will compensate for the labours of so many nights and days fraught with senatorial anxiety. As a sig nificant preliminary to this movement on the part of the two Houses, it will hare been seen, from our last impression, that the Ministerial white-bait dinner is fixed definitively for next Saturday. Having banquetted upon that most seasonable deli cacy at Greenwich, the members of her MAJESTY'S Government will forthwith prepare themselves for that annual period of relaxation which custom has vouchsafed to our national administrators. That som e lull of this kind is absolutely requi site for the proper con d uct of public af fairs, must be at once obvious to every individual of even the most ordinary discernment—if only for inasmuch as it affords the Cabinet an oppor tunity of deliberately reflecting upon the position of the country apart from the storms of debate and the agitating influence of party conflict. Besides which it should be remembered that the temporary separa tion of the House of Commons is desirable, if merely on account of the occasion it presents for some direct intercommunion between the people and their repre sentatives. Several of the latter, it cannot be forgotten, have each year considered it so far desirable that this exchange of thought between themselves and their respective constituencies should take place, that they have periodically called meetings, at which they have, so to speak, unburdened their consciences to their supporters, and explained to them the course they have considered it right to pursue in reference to some of the most important subjects brought under discussion in the course of the recent session of the Imperial Parliament. Such elaborate and formal explanations as these, have, of course, proved inconvenient to the majority of the Members, but a few honourable exceptions have testified the benefit resulting to the mass of electors from such a proceeding. By con vening these periodical assemblies, and bringing under their consideration the legislative labours accomplished during the past year, the popular representatives in question have materially advanced the general cause of enlightenment as to the management of public af t fairs and as to the improvements demanded in the Government. Nothing, indeed, could be better cal culated to educate the community to a due apprecia tion of the value of the rights of citizenship than these retrospective surveys of the progress made in the way of reform within the walls of the Legislature. Moreover, it should be borne in remembrance that those backward glances at the improvements effected by the Parliament, enable the multitude in the most effectual manner to perceive the nature of those additional reforms which are especially required as the next achievements in the way of emending the great fabric of the Constitution. Viewed in this light, the interval of repose which elapses between the pro rogation and the re-assembling of the two Houses may be regarded as advantageous to the nation, not less in regard to the future than to the past, not less as a means of consolation than as a means also of encouragement. From the evils already removed from our pathway we can discover the power remaining to us for the dissipation of other and yet more formidable obstructions to the general develop ment. While as a method of improving the very manner of their Parliamentary tactics, the retro spect taken by the popular representatives them selves cannot but prove productive of the greatest benefit imaginable, inciting them appreciably to yet mote strenuous exertions, reminding them of the nature of the impediments yet remaining to be vanquished, and revealing yet more the cause to which are attributable so many and such reiterated disappointments. Everything, in short, combines to satisfy the mind of the more re flective observer of the good resulting to the nation, to the Parliament, and to the Government, from this annual lull in the toils of legislation. "All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," seems to be a scrap of nursery wisdom, especially applicable to Jecx. Bum., if we may be permitted the familiarity of that diminutive in reference to so very sedate and respectable a personage. So likewise might the distich be applied with point to the whole mass of our national administrators from the PRIME MINISTER downwards ; and it was doubtless in con sideration of this necessity for recreation that it was arranged for Parliament to be prorogued each year in sufficient time to enable its Members to share in the sports of the ever-memorable 12th of August. It should likewise be recollected that the lapse of time which takes place between the commencement of August and the be ginning of February, between the prorogation and the re-assembling of Parliament, is time by no means lost to the nation, but time, on the contrary, occupied to the general advantage. During it the Members, though availing themselves to a reasonable extent of the opportunity afforded in it for relaxation, are, nevertheless, industrious in preparing for the next session ; the more active and conscientious amongst them, to say the least of it—knowing as they do that upon their exertions at this period the efficiency of the subsequent discharge of their duties may be said to be in a very great measure de pendent. Therefore it is, that for a variety of reasons, we may look forward with satisfaction to the proro gation of the Legislature. This evening the House of Commons will be called upon to act in a new capacity, to give a judical de.. cision on a question which, although of vital import ance to the cause of civil and religious liberty, is yet one of the very plainest and most simple character. Two important constituencies have petitioned that their chosen representatives should be admitted to take their seats, or that, at least, before their un questionable privileges should be violated, that they should be heard by counsel at the bar of the House, to show that there is no sufficient reasons for excluding the Baron ROTHSCHILD or Mr. Alderman SALoMoNS from the honourable positions to which they had been called by the voices of their fellow-countrymen. To the manly and energetic conduct of the latter gentleman is owing the present state of the case, arid the prospect of an early deci sion. Conscious of the justice of his cause, and de spising the penalties to which he might be subjected if he had taken an erroneous view of the law, he flung himself boldly into the breach, and assumed all the responsibilities of the contest. His Jewish brethren could not have selected a better or more chivalrous champion. They are fortunate, indeed, in having such a man to fight on their behalf. The question itself lies in a nutshell. We venture to assert that in a court of justice, before any one of the judges of the land, the sworn and experienced in terpreters and expounders of the law, it would be promptly decided without doubt or hesitation, and without even a point being reserved for the considera tion of the full court. The celebrated and leading case of OMTCHUND V. BARKER (1 Atkyns, s. 8) is decisive on the point, and the principle thereby affirmed has never since been impeached, but has always been received as an unquestionable authority. In that case we find C. J. WILLES declaring that " the nature of an oath is not at all altered by Christianity, but only made more solemn from the sanction of rewards and punishments being more openly decl are d ;" whose opinions whilewif for ever command n u annwd respect, x. added, " All;that i s necessary to an oath is an appeal a e judge, to the Surnma BBING, as thi n ki ng Him the rewarder of truth, and avenger of falsehood." If therefore the matter rested there, we should think that there could be but little difficulty as to the solution of the problem. Bat it was rendered, if posssible, more unequivocal by the 1 and 2 Victoria, cap. 105—a declaratory Act " to remove doubts as to the validity of certain oaths "—by which it was declared and enacted " that in all cases in which an oath may lawfully be and shall have been administered to any person, either as a juryman, or a w it ness , o r a deponent in any proceeding civil or crimi nal, in any court of law or equity in the United Kingdom, or on appointment to any office or employment, or ON ANY OCCASION WHAT RYER, such person is bound by the oath adminis tered, provided the same shall have been administered in such form and with such ceremonies as such person may declare to be binding." It then provides that, " in case of wilful false swearing, every such person may be convicted of the crime of perjury in the same manner as if the oath had been administered in the form and with the ceremonies most commonly adopted." What further argument then can be urged ? Al derman SALOMORS and Baron ROTHSCHILD have both declared the form to be not only "binding," but "most. binding" on their consciences. There can, therefore, be but little doubt but that they would have been subjected to every legal penalty for any infringement of the solemn obligation. Even the ATTORNEY GENERAL, while arguing on the opposite side—(alas that ALEXANDER CocanußN should fight under the wrong banner in such a cause)—was forced to make that admission. The gravest sanction, not only of eternal but of temporal penalties, is thus accorded to the sacred declaration. They have substantially complied with the spirit of the law. They have not, as they might, evaded the point at issue, by requesting to take the Roman Catholic oath—in which the objectionable words were not included—but they complied with it in all essential points. The object of that oath was to guard against the claims or supposed claims of a family now ex tinct. The succession to the throne of these realms is no longer disputed. The allegiance of every Briton is not only due, but freely rendered to our Most Gracious QUEEN. It requires no oaths or declarations to en sure their affectionate loyalty. If ever there was a work of supererogation, it is the enforcing of such unnecessary obligations. But that is beside the question, for Alderman SALOMONS and Baron ROTHSCHILD have taken it in its real essence, and only objected to a portion of the form which was intended to give it additional validity, but which would have been less binding on the con sciences of the Honourable Gentlemen then that by which they bound themselves. What, then, will be the position of the House of Commons, if they should, after refusing to admit the parties, find themselves opposed by the unanimous decision of the judges of the land, if they should say that Greenwich and London were partially disfranchised, while the Exchequer Cham ber should declare that Alderman SALOMONS had taken the necessary oaths, and had incurred no penalty for sitting and voting in the House ? Would they persevere obstinately and pertinaciously in wrong doing ? or would they confess their error, and make the amende honorable by admitting those whom they had previously rejected. Either course would be sufficiently humiliating to a body whom we are ever anxious to treat with respect, and we only hope that by a sound and judicious decision the possibility of so unpleasant an alternative will be prevented. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and of yesterday. The Committee of the Assembly appointed to con sider the proposition for regulating the leave of ab sence of Members, determined unanimously on Fri day to recommend that the Assembly should adjourn from the 10th August to the 20th October. The consideration of the question of the ratifica tion of the Lepredour treaty with the Argentine Con federation was, on the motion of M. DE Italica, post poned until after the recess. '1 be Councils-General of the Departments meet on the 25th August, and the efforts of last year to pro cure from them Bonapartist and unconstitutional mani festations will, no doubt, be renewed. On this subject we find the following in the National:— "The Councils-General are convoked for the 25th August. The 13onapartist taction reckons on the Council,-General to give support to a new proposi tiou for the ravision of the Constitution. It may be remembered what unheard of efforts were made last 3ear to obtain from these councils the vote of revisionist wishes; those efforts will be renewed this year, and it is hoped to repair by a manifestation of departmental aristocracy the defeat submitted to in the Assembly, and the branding imposed on the Mi nistry on the occasion of the mauceavres employed to obtain revisionist petitions. The agitation of the dis cussion which has just taken place is about to be car ried into the Councils-General; some disturbances will be excited in the country; the Constitution will be ac cused of causing them, and the uneasiness which will result from them. By harassing the country it is hoped to throw it into the hands of the party of prolongation— old tactic s , odious manoeuvres, on which the good sense of the public has long since done ample justice." The same journal says— " The Council of State, in its sitting of Thursday last, continued the discussion of the Bill on the responsibility of public functionaries, and of the President of the Re public. Thanks to the efforts or those who have an in terest in preventing the Bill from being brought before the Legislative Assembly in proper time, the discusion on it goes on very slowly. Things are come to that point that, in order to detest these mauceuvres, it will be per haps necessary for the Assembly to withdraw the Bill from the Council of State, and to discuss it as it was at first sent to it." On Friday M. DUTAURE presented the report of the Committee on the Lyons Railway Bill. The re port recommends that the line should be completed by the State. BUSOESS vONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 26. Boulogne and Amiens, 10 3 / 4 —Rouen and Havre, 9% — Sambre and Meuse, 3 _LONDON, SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 22d have arrived. Their contents are unimportant. A telegraphic dispatch from Madrid of the 24th has been received in Paris, announcing that the first six and most important articles of the Bill for the settlement of the public debt had been voted by the Senate. The concession of the canal of the Ebro had been also voted unanimously in the Cham ber of Deputies. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 22.—The following are the prices of stocks :—Three per Cents , 36i; Five per Cents., with current Coupon, 171; Coupons, 8f ; Passive Debt, 7. Exchange on London, 50 80. GERMANY. A letter from Berlin mentions a report that the Prussian Government does not intend to persist in demanding that the province of Prussia and Posen shall cease to form part of the Germanic Confedera tion. The Wurtemburg journals contradict the report given by the Allgemeine Zeitung of the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives, and declare that neither Wurtembng nor Bavaria has had an intention of de nouncing the treaty of the Zoliverein. The Minister Vox KNAPP confined himself to the following re marks :-1. That before the term of the expiration of the treaty (December, 1852) there would probably be no other conference of the Members of the German Customs' Union. 2. That it was very probable if a denunciation was made in some quarters, negotiations would be:commenced for revising the treaty ; and that, finally, in that case the Government of Wur temburg would, as in times past, be in favour of a modification of the tariff in a protectio nist point of view. HOLLAND. TUE HAGUE, JULY 26 —ln the Second Chamber it was dEcided by 29 agaisat 28 that the Russian question should be discussed this session ; but after the question had been discussed it was resolved that the votes should be again taken as to whether the same question should be debated to-morrow. This was de cided by a majority of 37 against 22. TURKEY. A telegraphic dispatch, dated Constantinople, July 12, states that a great conflagration had taken place at that capital. One hundred and forty-four houses had fallen a prey to the flames. ITALY. The Paris Univers quotes a letter from Rome of the 20th, stating that a serious m isunderstanding has arisen b e t ween th e F renc h and the Papal authorities at Rome, under the following circumstances :—At the time the Fr enc h occu pied Rome, they took pos session of the offices of the Inquisition, and lodged some companies there. Some time after, however, they gave up the building to the congregation of the Holy Office, who got it repaired at a cost of 15,000 f., and were enabled to occupy it but a few months ago. On the 16th, the French Commission for quartering the troops :suddenly received inform tion that the 7th battalion of foot chasseurs was coming on the following evening. Not knowing where to quarter them at so short a notice, the Coro missioners immediately sent to the Holy Office, an nouncing in rather an imperious tone, their intention of taking possession of the buildings, and demanding the immediate removal of the offices f the Inquisition. , It being urged on the part of the latter that it was impossible to remove the archives, the tribunal, &c., at a moment's warning, a respite of three days was at length granted, with the proviso that those parts of the building which were empty, should be immediately occupied by the French troops. The HOLY FATHER, who is himself the prefect of the Congregation, gave orders to look out for another suitable building wherein to install the now homeless tribunal; but every effort having proved fruitless, his HOLINESS has been at last obliged to apportion for the offices of the Inquisition a few rooms in the Palace of the Vatican. Tne same letter states that the circulars addressed by the Tuscan Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs to the bishops of that state, limiting the fran chises granted to the Church by the new concordat, has produced a very unfavourable sensation at the Court of Rome. A letter from Nice, of the 21st, states that some disturbances took place there on that day, in conse quence of the drawing for the conscription. The young men, who obtained the bad numbers, raised an outcry, declaring that they would not serve a Go vernment which had ruined the country by the abo lition of the free port. They then displayed a red flag, and proceeded i towards the Pont du Var, pre tending that they intended to take refuge in France. They stopped short, however, before they had gone far, and, after some delay, thought it better to disperse. INDIA. MARSEILLES, JULY 26, 7 30 A.M. The East India mail has just arrived.

As far as the Bill had gone, however, it had met with the approval of the House, and ho was anxious to carry the measure through, so far as the dis pensing clauses were concerned. He trusted, therefore, the opposition would be withdrawn, and then tho Bill might be so altered that it should have reference to dis pensaries only. Mr. HAMILTON fully concurred in the course pro posed by the Right Hon. Gentleman, and he sincerely hoped the opposition would be continued no further. Mr. SCULLY regretted that the Bill was to be so narrowed, but in the present state of affairs there was no help for it. He trusted, however, that at the earliest possible opportunity next session the subject would be renewed, and a large and comprehensive measure brought forward. _ _ Colonel DUNNE was quite content that the measure should pass us a Dispensary Bill. Mr. S. CRAWFORD also added his meed of appro. bation the course suggested by tho Right Hon. Gentleman. -• • After a short conversation on a matter of detail, the Bill as amended passed through Committee and was ordered to be reported to-morrow. (LEFT SITTING.) THE ECLIPSE. The morning has been so cloudy since sunrise, that it has been impossible to catch a glimpse of the sun. It would seem as though old Sol had kept in all day, in dudgeon, determined not to exhibit himself for the mere purpose of being eclipsed. At a quarter to one we were threatened with a storm, and a few large d-ops of rain tell for about five minutes; the rain, however, ceased, but the atmosphere still continued overcast. At two o'clock a drizzling rain commenced fulling. Although it has been impossible, on account of the cloudy state of the weather, to catch a glimpse of the sun him,elf, yet the diminution of light caused by his obscurtation is, at the time we write (three o'clock). very perceptible. THE MOORS.—A 4 the 12 of August, the great event of the year for hill sport, begins to cast its shadow on the foreground, sportsmen are anxiously inquiring about the prospects of the coming season. From all we have seen and heard on the subject, we feel assured that the ensuing will be much better than the two preceding seasons. No symp tom of disease has been seen among the old birds during winter, spring, or summer. There are very few barren birds, and the young broods count generally from eight to ten in every cover. We have heard only two unfavourable reports, which are from places where rain fell too constant during the hatching week. A gamekeeper, writing on other bu siness from one of Lord Lovat's moors, says of game—" So far as I can say, grouse are better this year than they have been for years back. The smallest covey I have seen this season was eight, including the old birds, and as high as fourteen, including the old birds. I have not seen a single diseased grouse." A sportsman residing on the south side of the county says—" As far as I can judge, the grouse crop is to be very fair, strong, and pretty numerous. Blackgame has done uncommon well." From shooting quarters along the valleys of Spey, Findhorn, Strathnairn, and Stratherrick, the accounts are all good, as well as those from the general grouse districts of Ross and Sutherland. The demand fur moors has not been equal to that of former seasons, and as yet the usual number has not been taken. There are many of the best smaller moors still in the market, but as inquiries are going on, we hope most of them will be taken before the 12th. Formerly the smaller places were most in demand, but this season extensive shootings, where there was either deer- stalking or salmon-fishing, have been more in request.— Inverness Courier. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—An impor tant permanent reduction is to be made in the fares between Dublin and London, Liverpool, &c., via Holyhead, on the Ist of August, On which day the opening of the line of rail way between Galway and Dublin, will, it is said, also posi tively take place. The first-class fare between the two capitals will be 31., and the issue of double journey tickets at a fare and a half, will enable parties to return any day not exceeding a f Itnight. Second class tickets with like pri vileges, are also to be issued. These arrangements have been conjointly agreed upon by the London and North-Western and the Chester and Holyhead Railway Companies, and the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company. MR. BALPE.—On Monday next (August 4) Mr. Balfe will take a benefit at her Majesty's Theatre for the first time since his appointment as musical director and conductor of that house in 1846. On this occasion an Italian version of Les Quatre Fils d' Aynwn, originally produced at the French Opera Comique, and since performed in German at Vienna, will be brought out under the title I Quattro Fratelli. This will be the first of Mr. Balfe's works pro duced at her Majesty's Theatre since his Falstaff, which was brought out in 1836. Such a compliment as a perform ance of one of his works is well deserved both by the services he has rendered the house in his official capaci+y and by the circumstances that he is the most prolific and popular of English composers. His operas are not less than 18 in num ber. The first three—Enrico Quarto, Un Avventimento ai Gelosi and I Rtvali—were brought out in Italy during Mr. Balfe's residence in that country from 18?5 to 1835, but are unknown to the English public. After his return from Italy, his ope-as of the Siege of Rochelle, the Maid of Artois, Dia deste, the Bohemian Girl, the Daughter of St. Mark, Cathe rine Grey, Joan of Arc, the Enchantress, the Bondman, and the Maid of Honour, were produced at Drury-lane, and Keolanthe was brought out at the Lyceum, then an English opera house. All these works were successful, while the Bohemian Girl attained a popularity almost unprecedented, and the Maid of Artois was rendered illustrious by furnish ing an original part to Madame Malibran. At the Grand Opera at Paris Mr. Balfe brought out L'Etoile de Seville, and at the Opera Comique Le Puits d'Amoar, and Les Quatre File d'Aymon, which latter is to be played in Italian on Monday next, The proprietor of the Surrey Zoological Gardens has arranged to give his foreign and other visitors an oppor tunity of witnessing some of the rustic sports which in days gone by obtained for this country the appellation of" merrie England." Mr. di lexmore's efficient corps de ballet, which lately exhibited in Holland Park, has been engaged, and every etFolt will be made to give the vraisemblance of the scene uncurtailed of its mirth and fun. These fetes will take place this day, to-morrow, and Wednesday. -.- • . THE CONVICT SARAH BARBER.—The execution of this woman, whose condemnation without hope of mercy was pronounced on Friday evening by Mr. Baron Parke, at Nottingham, will take place in front of the county gaol in that town on Wednesday morning next, at eight o'clock. Effective steps will be taken by the high sheriff; Mr. John Francklin, to prevent the concourse of people becoming so enormous as on form er occasions, a step which is highly ne cessary, considering that the last execution in the same place caused the death of 15 or 16 spectators, men and women, 1010 were forced down by the pressure and suffocated.

Ible for ti Intereste, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. At Liverpool on Saturday the Cotton market was active, and sales to the amount of 12,000 bales were made. An improvement of *I. per lb. took plaoki in American Cotton, but in other descriptions there was no material alteration.—The Share Market further im proved, and prices had an upward tendency, closing firmly. The American accounts state that the Money Market was easy, although the exchange on London continued as high as 110 to and no less than 1,001,543 dollars have been forwarded by the Africa steamer. The number of emigrants arrived at Quebec this year to the sth inst. was 18,568, being an increase of 2,526 persons over the preceding year. The Hamburgh mail of Friday last brings the rate of exchange on London at 13s. 3id., being steady. Funds and Shares were supported. Coffee was firm. At Amsterdam, on the 26th inst., Dutch Stock was supported. In foreign securities nothing particular was dons, but Austrian Bonds were still rising. The letter written by M. Payrto to the Committee of Mexica❑ Bondholders has been forwarded for publica tion, and we select the following as the more inter, sting paragraphs, and as reflecting great credit on on the Mi nister : " I read, in Edinburgh, the Times of the 7th and 10th inst., and I immediately determined to return, in order to offer the committee some explanations, which seemed to be required, to stop any decline in the price of the Mexican Bonds to the prejudice of the holders, and of the credit of the Republic, whose punctual fulfilment of its engagements is, I regret to see, not appreciated as it ought to be. " The committee will, therefore, see that the certificate for 2,500,000 dolls, which they hold from the general treasury, is absolutely the same sort of documents which have hitherto been negotiated in Mexico by Messrs. Seeker, Torrey, and Co., Rothschild, Baring, Corcoran, Yturbi and Aguero Goczatz and Co. None of those certificates were ever accepted by the Government of the United States, but paid at ma turity without having had any other previous security or guarantee than that confidence which the strict and considerate manner in which the Government of the United States have hitherto carried into effect the stipulations of the treaty of peace must justly inspire. "I am surprised, therefore, to find it stated in the Times that the committee are unable to negotiate the certificates which they hold, when I know that so late as towards the end of last mouth the Govern ment has negotiated with Mr. Forstall (the agent of the houses of Baring and Corcoran) certificates of precisely the same character. It would teem to be desirable that the committee should bring this to the knowledge of the bondholders, stating to them that that document is negotiable whenever they like, because it is as good as United States' Stock, which is worth 108 per cent., and that the consequence of throwing doubts upon this security will probably be to subject the bondholders to the same sacrifices through which Mexico has passed, by sometimes paying as much as 2 per cent. per month. "As to the small amount of specie which the last packet brought, and by which the price of the bonds hat in the opinion of the committee been lowered, I beg to state that the cause has been a financial operation on the part of the Custom-houses, but that as the payment of the dividend has been advertised, this ought not to trouble the bondholders. Nevertheless, I have antici pated the desire of the committee, and stated to the ' President by the last packet that it would be necessary that the monthly remittances should be considerable, and even suggested that the import duties assigned to the English bondholders should immediately be paid over. " The committee cannot fail to recognise the good faith and frankness of the course which the Government has taken throughout this business, and I flatter tuysel , that they will make known this to the bondholders, as suring them of the attention and favour with which their interests are regarded by the present President and his Ministers." There is a steady market for Public Securities, but the business done has been limited. We shall soon he quit of political excitement, as the French and British Legislatures are about to be prorogued. The large amount of specie received tfais morning has given no cumulus to speculation, neither buyers nor s. tiers ap pearirg. Bank Stock has been very firm at 215/. Ex chequer bills have been rather lower, viz., 48s. to 51,,. premium. Rita India Bonds have realised 58s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Qoarter per Cents. have been 985 to 99. Consols are 96i 5. Fore-ign Securities are well supported. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 21 to 211. having risen slightly upon the intelligence of the passing of the Bill arrang ing the F reign Debt, in the Senate at Madrid, by a large majority. The question now comes, whether the bondholders here will accept, and we believe they will, being coatipletely tired out. Mexican Stock has been firm at 304 to 31. Brazilian Old Bonds are 905 to 92. Russian Suck has been at 114 i for the Five per Cents. Dutch Two and-a- Half per Cents, have been 59i to 60. The Railway Share Market huts been good on the whole, but the prices are not in every instance quite so lull as on Satutitty. The feeling both here and at Liverpool is decidedly more favourable, but a rally after long depression is sure at first to bring forward a few timid sellers. Dutch Rhenish are higher. It appears that the Belgian papers were wrong in asserting that the Dutch Rhenish Railway Company bad made a call of 20 per cent. The company relented to was that which is on the Prussian side.

Constantinople. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. The supplies ot English Wheat on sale in the leading country markets held on Saturday were very moderate. Mist kinds were a slow inquiry, at about stationary prices. Fine foreign Wheats were quite as dear. but in terior qualities commanded very little attention. No change took place in the value of either Barley or Malt, but Oats sold at full currencies. Beans, Peas, and In dian Corn, were very dull. In Flour a steady business was doing. The latest accounts from New York state that, not withstanding the demand fur Flour had fallen off, the value of Flour was well supported. In the Baltic and Black Sea markets, as well as in France, no sales of importance have taken place. Very little supplies ot English Grain were received up to our market last week. From abroad, the imports amounted to 18.936 quarters Wheat, 3,020 Barley, 29,555 Oats, 30 R 3 e, 3,320 Beans, 42 Peas, 191 Tares, 1,118 Linseed, 1,733 sundry seeds, including Indian Corn, 3,020 backs and 2,475 barrels Flour. A fair average time-of year supply of English Wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market coast wise from Essex. From Kent the supply was very mo derate. By land carriage the receipts from all quarters were small, but in good saleable condition. Notwith• standing that millers generally are very short of stook, the demands for all kinds of Wheat, of home produce, was inactive, at prices about equal to thole of Monday last. Prior to the close of business a good clearance bad been effected. The amount of business doing for forward shipment from the East coast was small, although our accounts state that immense breadths of Wheat have been lodged by the late heavy rains in the whole of our principal grain districts. With foreign Wheat, as several of the cargoes reported last week from Dantzic and elsewhere have passed direct into the hands of millers, we were but moderately supplied. Fine dry samples moved off steadily, at full rates of currency. In the middling and inferior kinds comparatively little was doing, but we have no change to notice in their value. Floating cargoes commanded very little attention, but the number of vessels now off the coast is not large. We had a very moderate quantity of foreign Barley on show, but not a single parcel of English was brought forward. Grinding parcels sold slowly, at full prices. In other kinds next to nothing was doing. Malt, the supply of which was very moderate, moved off slowly, at late rates. The supply of foreign Oats having materially in creased since Friday, the Oat trade was less suave, yet last Monday's quotations were well maintained. We had a very slow sale for Beans, at barely sta tionary prices. In Yeas next to nothing was doing, at late rates. Indian Corn nominal.

The supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market was tolerably extensive as to number, but its general quality was inferior. From our own grazing district* toe receipts of Beasts fresh up this morning was mode rately good; but at least two-thirds of them were much out of condition. The attendance of both town and c , uniry buy era being large, the Beef trade ruled stead/ at an advance in the quotations obtained on Monday last of 2d per 81bs, and a clearance was effected without dif• ficulty. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Esex, a nd Cambridgeshire amounted to 1,600 Scots, Runts, Short horns, &c.; from other parts of England, 700 Here fords, Runts, Devons, Scots, &c.; and, from Scotland 150 horned and pulled Scots. The remainder of the supply was chiefly derived from abroad. We were again seasonably well supplied with Sheep, all breeds of which met a very slow inquiry; but we have no actual fall to notices in their value. The primest old Downs sold at from 3s 8d to 3a 10d per 81bs. Lambs —the which was large—m ove d o ff heavily, at adeclittlieppilny of last week's quotations of 2d per Bibd, the highest figure for Down qualities being 4s 10d per 8110. There was a fair average business doing in Calves, as late currencies; but Pigs commanded very little at-. tention. Per alba.to s►nk the offal. s. d. to s. d.
