We cannot see why either branch of the Legislature should be expected to abdicate its functions,. or to remain in a state of apathetic indifference respecting a subject wherein the honour and interests, not merely of the United Kingdom, but of the civilised world, are so deeply concerned. It is, surely, too absurd to suppose that Noble Lords or Hon. Gentlemen should permit themselves to be con verted into political cyphers in deference to the EMPEROR'S Autocratic notions and horror . of representative institutions—that they should continue in total_ ignorance of what has been done, and what is doing, until the Ses sion of 1854, when, after all the mischief has been perpetrated—mischief too, that a timely and reasonable expression of public feel ing might have averted—that which has been pub lished throughout Europe by means of the Press, should be gravely stated to the Peers of England and to the chosen Representatives of her People. Such an occurrence might, indeed, be regarded as a solemn farce. A farce. that would materially lower the British Parliament in the opinion of surrounding nations, as well as in the eyes of the British community. Well may NICHOLAS despise our efforts and repudiate our interference, when he sees Parliament hoodwinked by the "excellent ABERDEEN," whom he now leads by the nose, as he did five-and-twenty years ago—when his Am bassadors established the precedent which has since been attempted to be followed, of engaging (!) the United Kingdom " to abstain. from measures which might encourage the resistance of, the Porte." That humiliating demand was then sub mitted to the Right Hon. the Earl of ABERDEEN, being Foreign Secretary, and the treaty of Adrian ople was seized without the assent or concurrence of England—a treaty which .had the effect 'of transferring to Russia the Islands at the mouth of the Danube, and the sole control of the navi gation of that magnificent river. It is to that blind and unreasoning confidence that the water which, while the Porte remained in possession, showed a minimum depth of 13 feet, has been re duced to '7, and at times little more than 5 feet, and that a ruinous expense for lighterage and other charges has been imposed on all merchants sending vessels to the Danube, the palpable ob ject being the transference of its trade and com merce to the neighbouring port of Odessa. And yet, with such a deplorable memento of Minis . tcrial imucea ace and incapacity, we are required to place implicit confidence in the Minister who was guilty of that gri evous . oversight. To allow him to be once more contented with an imbecile protest, and the announcement that "herMasEsTYreserved to herself the right of j u d • of the extent of the sacrifices which the Porte ma be called on to make." The professions of as trusetstedness were then just as earnest and just a stranger trustworthy as at present. Russia was as much eveanger. then 4 , to every desire of conquest and to mome ry ut :siew of. aggrandisement " as she is at this The CZAR only "sought to be indemnifi e d or its e x _ v "ses, and to le assured of a moral guarantee fo r the freedom of her commeree." We suppose an indem nity will also now be,required for the expenses o f the Russian campaign, sufficientto crush thealready exhausted pecuniary resources of Turkey, and a Material guarantee in the form of a permanent occupation of the Danubian Principalities ; and yet'Parliament , is to remain indifferent and inac tive, while Lord ABERDEEN is giving further proofs of his conciliating temperament and pacific disposition, receiving the insults and injuries of the AUTOCRAT with Christian fortitude and pious resignation, oblivious of the buffet of 1829, and now turning the other cheek to the smiter. Such may be the Views of the Premier—such may be the views of the Noble Leader of the House of Commons --but they are not the views of the in depsudent Members cf independent constituencies; or, if so, the sooner a general dissolution of Par liament and a new appeal to the country take plac• the better. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Member for Aylesbury last night made another appeal to Ministers to fix a day for the consideration of the ,motion which he had repeatedly postponed at the urgent request of the Governme n t , and under the iupposition that negotiations were i n Droe'ress, • which• would lead to a speedy d ec i s i on of -the'ciues. tion one way or other. The Honourable or man clearly pointed out the nature of the proceed ings that have taken place, and are of daily occurrence, that there is not only military posses sion taken of Wallachia and Moldavia, but that even the civil administration of those provinces has been in a great degree, if not altogether, assumed, and flat the invaders are fortifying the principal towns, and also the different military stations on the Danube—that offensive and insult ing communications have been addressed not only to the Porte, but to the. Western Powers, and a crusade preached to the ignorant Muscovites in terms fitted for home consumption, in terms much stronger than those generally circulated, (insolent and unwarrantable as they must be admitted to be), for the purpose of exciting reli gious animosities and inflaming the fanaticism of the Russian serfs ; while the Turks are kept hi a state of smouldering indignation that may at any time burst into a flame, and which may afford pretexts for further aggressions on the part of the AUTOCRAT. Under such circumstances, surely Parliament has a right to know the steps that have been taken, the pretexts put forward on the part of Great Britain, and to judge whether they are adequate • to the magnitude of the crisis and the extent of the emergency. But now we are asked for • still further forbear ance, on the ground, not that the negotiations have nearly terminated, and that a definite ar rangement may be speedily anticipated, but be cause they have scarcely commenced (!)—because, on account of the necessary delays, they cannot be expected to be in a condition to be laid before the House ! And is this an answer with which the British Parliament will be contented ? What would be said in Congress if such a reply were given by the Foreign Minister, on a matter in which the honour or the interests of the humblest American citizen was concerned ? They certainly do these things differently in the United States. And yet peace is not endangered by the pub licity, by the calm and deliberate expression of the unflinching determination of a free nation, expressed through its representatives. Away, then, with the farce that has too long been tolerated. Away with the affectation of mystery, which will only be considered by the AUTOCRAT and his advisers as a further token of English subservience—as an encouragement to perseverance in the reckless course which they have adopted. It is time that we shook off cur apathy—that we exhibited our zeal and energy befitting the great importance of the subject. Opportunities will arise for at least enforcing a discussion, and we trust that Mr. LAYARD, or some other Honourable Gentleman, will avail himself thereof, to remove the disgrace from England. If the motion should be rejected, the division list will be an exceedingly instructive document, well worthy the attentive perusal of every person entrusted with the elective franchise throughout the length and breadth of the land. When Lord JORN RUSSELL announced, in May last, that " measures would be forthwith taken to carry the recommendations of the Common Law Commissioners into practical operation during the present session," we, in common with the en tire of the " Fourth Estate" and the community in general, bestowed what was then believed to be well-merited commendation for the zeal and ala crity displayed by her MAJESTY'S Government on a subject of such vital importance to the well being of society, and on which such perfect una nimity existed among all classes, the professional as well as the non-professional. This promptitude was the more laudable, inasmuch as the pressing business before Parliament might have afforded a plausible excuse for delay. It might have been considered that her MAJESTY'S Ministers would have sufficiently discharged their duty if the pro mised measure had been, speedily introduced and then referred to a select committee, so that all its provisions might have been maturely digested and considered; and if the most urgent, on which little if any difference of opinion could have existed, were passed before the prorogation, leaving all that were likely to provoke discussion and to in volve any considerable demand on the public time, to stand over until next year. The energy exhibited by the Noble Lord was, however, not the less welcome because unexpected, because of his own free will and accord without waiting for .the application of the "pressure from without," or any other stimulant to excitecim to action, he had freely and voluntarily promised to dispose of a subject which could, under any circumstances be postponed, although the procrastination would be attended with some loss of character to the Joint-Stock Administration, and injury to the public. His bidding for popularity was, how ever, thankfully accepted, and for the time being he received the credit to which he would have been entitled had his undertaking been fully and fairly carried out. Let us see, however, in what man ner the pledge thus freely and willingly given in the face of the assembled Commons of the United Kingdom has been redeemed. Since that pledge was thus readily given nearly two months have elapied, and nothing, literally nothing, has taken place with respect to the inte resting and important subject. While the popu lar branch of the Legislature bas been bored with the prosy orations of the President of the Board of Control, and the tedious and protracted discus sions on the Government of India, a matter which might, and ought to have been adjourned for fur ther information, the amelioration of the pro cedure and practice of the Superior Courts of Com mon Law, was suffered to remain in abeyance, without any single step being taken in advance. The most gross and' culpable apathy and negli gence was manifested on a topic which possessed so many intrinsic claims for a speedy and satisfac tory arrangement--not of the points in dispute, for there was no dispute or difference in relation thereto, but of the admitted defects in the adminis tration of the law, which but too frequently led to a failure of justice. Had it not been for the unequivocal and unconditional promise of the Ministerial Leader in the Lower House, some private Member would probably have assumed the responsibility of the measure for carrying out the valuable suggestions above referred to, or at least some of the most important and urgent provi sions founded thereon. In such an event, the whippers-in might have found some more appro priate task than trying to prevent the formation of a House, manoeuvring for a " Count out ;" and the disgraceful scenes which might have led to untoward results would have been avoided. The ruse was, however, suc cessful, and the matter remained in statu quo until the well-founded remonstrance of Lord BROUGHAM in the House of Lords, again directed public attention to the shameful lashes of her MAJESTY'S Government. The Noble and Learned Lord justly complained of what appeared to be not only a very great slight to himself personally, but an act of gross - and unwarrantable disrespect to the , branch of the Legislature of which he is an influential member. He showed that he had introduced a Bill at the very commencement of the Session, eight months ago, for the purpose of amending the Law of Evi dence and Procedure. One portion of it related to a serious deficiency in the Act of 1851, which prevented th e w if e of e i ther plaintiff or de fendant from being examined as a witness i n an y convenience herselfarisiuga suit unl ess fromparty thiso t o h m i e sso recor d. nha n d b e einen seriously felt. It was found that, in many cases, the wife wa s the person t who the tn t s i n o lia ' d managed the l e i s transaction' whi c h gave i t t i h o n o , o a n n l y d was by far the m os t important wi one, in fact, who could throw clear light upon the points at issue. The presiding Judo-es, who were compelled to rule in acc or d ance w i th the law, frequently deplored the necessity which prevented them from hearing the best evidence, and obliged them to decide in opposition to the substantial merits of the case under investigation at the tim e . Even those who had previously doubted the ex_ pediency of allowing the testimony of a wife to be received for or against her husband became converts, and recognised the propriety of re moving the exclusion with all convenient speed. On the second reading of Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill on the 10th of March the Lord Chancellor, who had previously opposed the. admissibility of THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 18 5 3 ' such evidence, avowed his change of opinion, and supported that portion of the bill, which also had the valuable aid of the Lord Chief Justice. Under these circumstances, and in order to insure the re moval of the anomaly, to carry in to execu tion that which he felt to be a necessary supple ment to the Act of .1851, Lord BROUGHAM divided his bill into two portions, one of which, that rendering married persons competent witnesses for or against each other, passed the House of Lords on the 6th of June, while the other por tion, relating to the Law of Procedure, now awaits the third reading. 13ut although the bill, which would have passed sub silentio in the House of Commons—a similar provision having been, we believe, unanimously sanctioned with respect to Scotland—was immediatelysent down to the Lower House, no practical step has since been taken, the matter has been quietly shelved, and the circuits have commenced without the existing defect hav ing been remedied. This is inexcusable. It is no answer to say that Ministers have no control over the proceedings of the Lower House. Had they felt inclined, the bill would have long since received the Royal Assent; and its becoming a por tion of the law would have been some trifling excuse for their crass negligence in other respects. We are now told that the provision is amalgamated in the bill framed for the purpose of carrying out the recommendations of the Common Law Com missioners. Lord CE,ANWORTH now thinks "it would be discreditable on the part of any Govern ment to pretend honestly to introduce such a bill as that without having had a great deal more time for its consideration than they could have had." This may be so ; but surely Lord JOHN RUSSELL ought to have known it before he made the distinct and positive promise above referred to, and surely Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill ought to have been passed without a moment's unnecessary delay. The Noble Lord will now, however, be stripped of his borrowed plumes, and deservedly censured for having even temporarily obtained credit under false pretences. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

HER MAJESTY'S HEALTH.—Her Majesty is progres sing so favourably, that Dr. Holland is expected to leave for town to-morrow, and that there will be no more bulletins published afterwards. GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—The Countess de Neuilly, accompanied by the Duchess of Orleans, the Count de Paris, the Duke de Panthievre, the Duke de Chatres, the Princess Francoire, the Countess d'Hautpoul, the Countess Mollien, and attended by General Dumont, M. Reynier, and M. l'Abbe de Gueille, honoured the Diorama of the Ocean Mail, at the Gallery of Illustra tration, 14, Regent-street, yesterday, with their pre sence. SIR C. BARRY.—The current rumour that Sir Charles Barry met with a serious accident on Wednesday last is' without much foundation. Sir Charles was thrown out of a chaise, but, with the exception of a few slight bruises, he has sustained no injury, and there is every reason to believe that in a very few days he will have entirely recovered from the effects of the accident. THE NEW CRYSTAL PALACE.—This gigantic under taking is now so tar advanced that it may be distinctly seen among the hills and trees of Surrey, from the high est parts of Piccadilly, between Grafton and Berkeley streets, on a clear day, and presents a very noble and commanding appearance, which will be increased as the immense building more nearly approaches completion. ACTS OF PARLIAMENT.—Forty public acts have been passed during the present session, which began in No vember, and at Christmas adjourned to February. About 100 more public acts are likely to be passed be fore the prorogation, towards the latter end of August. FREE TRADE HALL IN MANCHESTER.—We understand that 10,0001. was subscribed at a private meeting on Tuesday last, towards rebuilding the Free Trade Hall. It would appear that the Free Traders are not going to forsake the assembling of themselves together. THE CAB CASE AT BOW-STREET.—The friends of the cabman, Phillip, who was committed to prison by Mr. Henry, at Bow-street, in consequence of not being able to deposit ss. to have the disputed distance measured, have subscribed together to pay the 40s. penalty, and the poor man has, in consequence, been liberated. INCREASE OF P AUPERISM IN MARYLEBONE.—Yester day at the weekly meeting of the board of guardians of Marylebone, Mr. Jacob Bell in the chair, Mr. Messer, the relieving officer, in answer to a question from a member of the board, as to how he accounted for an in crease of 742 persons on the parish books as compared with the corresponding period last year, replied that he was not ashamed of inquiry. His belief was that the great cause of the increase of pauperism was, that people lived too long in Marylebone: ELOPEMENT.—A great deal of excitement prevailed in Plymouth last week, in consequence of a report that a Captain of the 35th Regiment had eloped with the wife of a worthy baronet who has a seat near Ashburton, and who had been staying at Plymouth for several months before the sad event occurred. The officer alluded to is the son of another officer, who is one of the representatives of a neighbouring town ; and the young man who has thus broken the peace of one family, is said to have recently had a faux pas with the wife of another gentleman resident in Plymouth, which led to the breaking up of that family, and the wife being sent home to her relations. In the case of the baronet's wife, we hear that is likely to lead to a divorce. Yet the officer to whom we allude is still received in "society," he having very quickly, in both cases, re turned here from the scene of his amours, leaving the ladies to get through their difficulties in the best way they could.—Plymouth Journal. FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE DEAN-LANE COLLIERY, BEDNINSTER.—BRISTOL, JULY 22.—A shocking acci dent, by which one man was killed on the spot and another severely hurt, occurred on Thursday afternoon at the Dean-lane colliery, worked by the old company at Bedminster. The accident occurred at about three o'clock. On Thursday the work went on as usual until about three o'clock in the afternoon, loads of coal vary ing from a ton to 25 cwt. being safely drawn up, At this time the signal was given for a draft of men to be ruled up to the surface. The engine being set in mo tion. th e b uc k et rose steadily for about 20 fathoms, when it sudd m enly br o k e, and with its l i v i ng burthen fell to the botto. William Tiley, one of the men in th e b uc k e t , was killed upon the spot ; and the other. Joseph Mar shall, was found at the bottom of the pit in a hopeless state with hi s b ack broken, besides having received other injuries. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE -(THIS DAY.) • CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed firm and steady at full prices. Railway Shares were dull, and inactive. The amount of bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England was still further diminished during the week to the 16th inst. ; but about the period when the dividends are paid it is not easy to determine whether a decrease arises from local or foreign de mands. The discounts and loans were smaller, owing to repayments, up9n the opening of the transfer books, and probably there was also a with drawal of Exchequer Bills and Stock, upon which advances had been obtained, as a great reduction appears in the item " Government Securities." The changes, compared with the previous week, are as follows : Active circulation..

Preparations are in active progress to celebrate the sporting festival in Goodwood Park. The " gathering " commences on Tuesday, and its display of rank and fashion promises to be unusually large and brilliant. Among turfites of all classes and denominations, the in terest which attaches to the principal stakes deepens, Mid all movements in the betting market relative to them are regarded with eager curiosity. The published programme supplies ample matter to engross attention. It contains upwards of forty stakes, which, for their intrinsic value, and the exciting contests which they are likely to occasion are surpassingly attractive. Several new "features," too, have been added to the list of sport, and from the success which has attended their in troduction, we may anticipate for them a wide-spread and increasing popularity. The North and South Biennial Stakes is the most striking novelty in the pro gramme, and it is likely to furnish an important en counter between the Northern and Southern horses. It numbers one hundred and seventy three nominations, comprising the "flower" of the two-year-olds. Speculation on the Goodwood Stakes has within the last week been briskly pursued. Various changes have marked its progress and imparted unexpected importance to it. At present I shall not attempt to determine its tendency, as within the next four-and -twenty hours movements may be made which will materially regulate the transactions in the turf market, and give a totally different aspect to the betting. N e ith er s h a l l I now enter into a discussion of the chances of the competitors, but shall postpone ,a consideration of their pretensions until Monday. when I shall be fully informed of many essential particulars connected with them. About twenty horses are likely to muster at the post. Subjoined is a carefully-compiled list of PROBABLE STARTERS FOR THE GOODWOOD STAKES:-- WEIGHT. st lb Teddington, 5 yrs Kingston, 4 yrs (in. 51b. extra) 8 11 J.

On Monday I will fully examine the claims of the various likely starters to support, at present I shall merely express my decided partiality for HARICOT, HOBBY HORSE, and VINDEX. JOE MILLER and Mus. COVITE, stand next in my estimation. This evening the opening dinner at the London Club takes place. Admiral Rous will occupy the chair, and will be surrounded by all the influential patrons of the Turf. July 23. HORSE. TRAINER. A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS AT GOODWOOD.

MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) MINES.—The prospect that Turkish affairs will be amicably arranged has made the markets firmer both for dividend and speculative stocks, and a fair amount of business has been transacted in both. In the former, Alfred Consols, Condurrow, Bassett, Mary Ann, and Merllyn, have been most enquired for ; and iu the latter, Copper Hill, East Buller, and Sidney. The great fall in lead has affected shares in lead mines, and must seriously reduce their profits, unless a rise takes place to something like a fair and remunerative price. Many mines are getting 51. per ton less for their ores, whilst their expenses are not in any way materially reduced. In the metal market, copper and tin are in demand; prices continue firm, and an increased price is antici pated. Lead remains at the quotations of last week, with but little business doing. Spelter is very quiet, holders not not being willing to sell at present prices —a great demand being expected to arise as winter ap proaches. In charcoal tin plates a large amount of busi ness has been done, and coke plates are becoming very scarce, from a falling off in the make. Scotch pig-iron has advanced, and rails are firm, with'every prospect of an increased demand and rise in price. In the Bullion Market—Mexican and South Ame rican dollars, 4s. 111 d. per oz. Bar silver containing gold, all gold above 5 grs. in the pound to be paid for, ss. 11d. per oz. standard. Bar silver without gold, ss. Igd. per oz. standard. Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. standard. The Gold Mining Shares this week have shown symptoms of a rally from the depression previously noticed. The re-action in the leading stocks, however, is not considerable, and credited descriptions re main quite out of favour. Generally business in this department continues quiet, there being little or no speculation, and the public at the s ame ti me are k eep i ng aloof. Colonial Gold Shares have met with some in quiry, consequent upon the receipt of favourable ad vances. STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS, July 22.—The woollen cloth market continues without any material alteration. Both on Saturday and on Tuesday there was a fair steady business done in the Coloured as well as the White Cloth-hall ; and con sidering that several of the principal manufacturers are attending the London • wool sales, perhaps a full better business was done than might have been ex pected. The principal demand at present is for the various kinds of heavy goods. for the fall trade, and of which the market is very inadequately supplied. Stocks generally are low. Prices contiuue without any decided alteration. There are at present, and have been during the week, a great many buyers in the town ; which has caused a good steady trade to be done in the warehouses, principally in heavy goods, of which the stocks are gene rally light in quantity, and dear in value, in consequence of the high prices that had to be paid for the raw mate rial, which has enhanced the cost very considerably in heavy gyods. We believe the buyers will have consi derable difficulty in supplying their wants at the present time. HUDDERSFIELD, JULY 19.—The wool business is flat, and the quantity arrived from the present sales in Lon don is yet small, and though a slight reduction has taken place, manufacturers generally.have an impres sion that prices will be still lower, and are accordingly waiting for a more favourrble opportunity for making their purchases. BRIDFORD.—Trade is very much injured by the un certainty that prevails respecting the Turkish question. Wool shows a downward tendency, and in all depart ments parties purchase to supply immediate wants. Very little wool comparatively has yet been got from the country, and many of the staplers who have pur chased have repented of their bargains. LEICESTER.—Though the demand for worsted goods is dull, as is usual at this season, all the workmen are well employed at the advanced rate of wages, and there is more than usual doing in shipping orders fo r th e colo nial markets. The cotton' demand still keeps good, especially for greys, which .are very scarce, and the sup ply of cotton quite insufficient. The worsted yarn market is firm of the reduced prices. In wools there is not much doing, and the same reluctance is noticed to sell at present prices by the growers ; spinners only buy to supply present wants. The present uncertainty of Eastern pollitics has had the effect of lowering prices at the colonial wool sales, which have realised from id. to ld. per lb. less than the former sold at. FATA ACCIDENT IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL. - -Intel ligence has been received at Bristol of the total loss of the sloop William, Richard Billing, master, the property of Mr. Robert Jones. The unfortunate vessel was on her voyage, with a cargo of coals, from Newport to Bridgewater, and, when off the Steep Holmes, on Tues day morning last, about half-past 10 o'clock, she is sup posed to have started a " butt," and sank in nine fathoms of water. We regret to say that the crew — consisting of Captain Billings, his son, and a man, to gether with a pauper girl, about 15 years of age, named Humbling, a passenger —we drowned. They were ob served by the crew of another vessel to get into her boat, but so instantaneously did vessel fill that they had not time to cast off the boat before she sank, drawing the boat with her crew and the girl after her. The For titude, of Bridgewater, bore down to the sinking vessel, but it was too late to render any assistance. The ill fated sloop is stated to have been - a very old vessel, and wholly unfit for sea. The master has left a wife and family to lament his loss. . _ BaITISR ccordinary to a Parliamentary return, printed on Friday, the estimated nu m b er of volumes now in the library of the-British Museum is 510,110. The number of volumes of each of three sets of the supplementary catalogue (exclusive of three sets of four volumes each, of indexes to long headings) is 305. Each set of 305 volumes contains 220,789 titles, caculated up to the 24th of June last. These titles are estimated to refer to about 135,000 volumes of printed books. About 100,000 volutrieF, in the library before 1839, are supposed to remain to be done. Titles for the whole of them are, however, entered in the old catalogues. Further information is given in the return (obtained by Mr. Bell, M.P.) of the progress of the catalogues in the British Museum. It appears that the additions since 1838 are catalogued and entered either in the general or in the supplementary catalogue up to eight or ten weeks ago, with a trifling exception. The supplementary catalogue (Answer No. 2), contains the titles of books added to the library since about 1846. THE MEASLES. —The two sons of the King of the Belgians, the Duke de Brabant and the Count do Flandres, are both confined to their apartments at the Palace of Laeken by the measles, but the malady pre sents no symptoms to excite uneasiness. 111 11 11 Messrs.

Bills of Exchange were taken yesterday after noon upon the principal continental cities at firmer rates, except as regards Italy, Trieste Bills at 90 days being quoted 10 58 to 11. Paris was 25 20 to 25 ; Amsterdam, 11 18 to 18f • Hamburgh, 13, 61, to 7 ; and Frankfort, 1191 to ' ll9i. The amount of gold exported from London direct during the week to Thursday last was 24,766 ounces, and of silver 25,800 ounces, most of the former to France, and the latter to Hamburgh. From Southampton 109,0001. has been forwarded to India and China, principally in silver. The stock market is firm, and there are good purchases for money, but the speculative transac tions continue unimportant. The political advices from the continent are of such a tranquihsing nature that much greater confidence is felt. Consols have been 98i for transfer, and 981 for account. The New 31 per Cents, have been quoted 101/ to 2, and the 3 per Cent s . 98/ K. Exchequer Bills are at par to 3s. premium. There has been uo dealing in Bank or India stock. Foreign Securities, though quiet, still tend up wards, since in many of them there is room for a much greater rise than in the English funds. Spanish Three per Cents. have been done at 47i, and the Def e r re d a t 23. The old Portuguese Five per Cents. have realised 464. Sardinian Stock has risen to 96 and 964, and the Swedish Loan has touched 1 premium again. Russian Bonds are firm at 119. The Railway Share market is advancing, and at the improvement of to -I t per cent. In the English lines there is more doing. The French market is also better. Gold Mine Shares are heavy and neglected, and sellers of Land Companies' still offer. The Australian Banks are firm. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK (Prom. the Official List.)

EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA—SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY. —The Government Emigration Commissioners are still prosecuting their work with considerable energy. The Athenian, a fine bark of 675 tons, and the Credenda, a square-rigged ship of POO tons, are in the docks preparing to sail for Australia on Monday next. The Athenian is capable of accommodating 206 statute adults ; she has, at present, embarked 140. The Cre denda is intended to sail for Geelong, and although capable of accommodating in comfort 385 passengers, there are only thirty at the depot at present, most of whom will embark to-night. There is every expectation of her leaving full in about a week. The Pekin, 562 tons, leaves for Melbourne on or about the 10th August, and the Epaminondas, 1,171 tons, will sail for Port Adelaide on the 6th. The Herefordshire, a large vessel of 1,600 tons register, is taken up to sail for Sydney on or about the 10th August. Her passengers will consist principally of railway labourers. The Poitiers and David Malcolm, two ships of 756 and 638 tons register, have also been taken up by the Emigration Commission ers, and will sail, very probably from this port; for Port Port Philip and Adelaide, some time in September, SHARE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
