CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market closed with a very active appearance, and prices were well maintained. The sales amounted to 15,000 bales, of which 2,000 Were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters. The Railway Share Market cl , sod quietly, and the quotations were without any ma terial change. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have ?P e ncil with a firm appearance, and as the demand Is active, full rates are current for all the principal staples, including sugar and coffee. A call of 151. per share has been made on the s hareholders in the London and Eastern Banking Co rporation. In April last estimates were formed of the probable assets and liabilities of this sadly Inisraanaged undertaking, and it was then repre sented that the ultimate loss would probably not e xceed a few pounds per share in addition to the , c , a pital. The Oriental Bank consequently undertook th e liquidation, but to protect themselves induced the shareholders to give their promissory notes at tw elve months for 501. per share. The unfortu nate proprietors consequently imagined that they *would not be required to make any payment until t hat period, and they have consequently been much surPrised by this call of 151. per share. The com mittee state as follows :—" The progress which has s bice.been made in the liquidation under the man agement of the committee, has enabled them to form a more correct estimate of the banks' Position. In the report to the shareholders, m ade at the general meeting on the 20th July, the deficiency is stated at 12,7101. and it was expected that a sufficient proportion of the available assets could be realised in time to meet current liabilities. In both points, however, the committee find themselve s di sappo i n t e d, an ex t ens i on o f ti me being absolutely necessary for the advantageous disposal of the more valuable properties, while subsequent estimates have considerably reduced the amounts to be looked for. Under these circumstances, being disappointed of the large amount which they expected, and funds being re quisite to answer immediate and pressing demands, the committee have no alternative but to require the shareholders to pay up on or before Tuesday, 15 th of September next, the call of 151. per share Payable on the 24th April ultimo. The amount of the call will in each case be written off the pro missory note of the shareholder who makes the P a Ynaelit in reduction of the amount claimable from 'lira under his note." meeting is now being held of the shareholders 44 the Bank o f Egypt. Th e directors recommended that out of the net profits a dividend be declared of 6 Per cent., free of income tax, on the capital paid 'P, amounting to 11,2501., which leaves a balance Of 1 ,771/. 93. 10d. to be carried forward to the text account. The h .- di -yearly meeting of the Norfolk Railway c ompany was held today. The report stated t hat the rece i pts i n the s i x mont h s h a d b een sa t is - Z t °rY, the revenue d ue to this company being - ' 9 ° o /., or 1,7001, more than on the last ccoasion. 't dividend of 30s. per cent. was declared on the consolidated stock of the comp:111Y. It has been determined to wind-up the lately Projected Geelong and Ballarat Railway Company, the undertaking not having been favourably re ceived in the colony. The silver market remains quiet, but prices are unaltered. Bars are worth ss. 111 per oz. stand ard, those brought by the last steamer having been sold at that quotation. There is a moderate demand for discount accom kodation, but there is no alteration in the rates, Which, out of doorß, are still below those current at the Bank of England. The public Funds have been buoyant this morn ing, and the operations f , r a fall are evidently kept in check by the satisfactory accounts of the harvest, t he decline in wheat, the easier state of the Money Market, and the gold arrivals. All these consi derations are most important, when viewed itl connection with financial profits, espe cially ‘. 5 1 the assurance given by the Govern ent that no Indian loans will be required P res ent, has removed all apprehension on that Point • The excitement produced by the advice received from the East on Saturday, also has sub sided and hence the improved market fur the -1146 , alth ou gh business may be considered quiet. 0 4. - I °' l,3 ols h ave b een 90 / -; for money, and 90'4 91 for i e account.

The lords had struck out the Quarter Sessions as a court of local appeal. They had also dis agreed with one amendment by which adultery in the conjugal residence by the husband should be made a ground of application for divorce by the wife. Those, he believed, were the only material alterations which the lords had made in the bill. Lord PALMERSTON moved that the house do not insist on their amendment with regard to the Quarter Sessions. The motion was carried. The Lords having struck out anothor of the Commons' amendments —" adultery committed in the conjugal residence," on the ground that the definition would lead to difficulty, a discussion arose which terminated in a division, when there appeared— For agreeing to the Lords' amendments 43 Against it Majority —32 The other amendments were agreed to. NEW WRIT. A new writ was ordered to issue for Middlesex, in the room of Lord R. Grosvenor, who has accepted the office of steward of the Chiltern Hundreds. THE PROROGATION. Lord PALMERSTON said, as the prorogation would take place on Friday, and as there was no business before the house, he should move that they adjourn till that day. . _ _ 'the motion was agreed to, and the house adjourned.

M. JULIEN condemned the management, and said the money was not taken to the banker every day as it ought. Mr. TYLER said it was. M. JULIEN said the money for the last week might have been, but the week before he had a cheque of the company dishonoured. He had been working hard for 15 months, and had been miserably treated. He detailed many of the difficulties he had had to contend with, and his determination to adhere to the Hall if the hareholders would continue, feeling certain that ulti mately it would be to their and his advantage. At pre sent he had been a heavy loser by the concern. He detailed the difficulties he had also had to contend with in this country in endeavouring to elevate the musical taste of the country, in the course of which he was greatly over come, and at the conclusion of his statement had to leave the room. A resolution was then agreed to to prevent Mr. Jones winding•up the concern. A vote of thanks was accorded to M. Jullien. After some other business the meeting terminated.

The matter was still under the consideration of the law officers of the Crown. THE TROOPS AT THE CAPE. Mr. ADDERLEY hoped the house would grant him a few moments attention while he referred to a subject of great importance : he meant the immense collection of troops the British pay at present at the Cape of Good Hope. He understood that ever since the German legion had arrived there they had been put upon full pay, although it was arranged that unless an emergency should arise such a course should not be pursued. The Secretaly for the Colonies had informed the house that the Cape was perfectly quiet and peaceful ; and, such being the case, he thought it his duty to ask for more information than was given to it yesterday, as he wished to know the reasons that had led to the whole of the men being put upon full pay. At the present time, when all was represented as per fectly quiet at the Cape, there were no less than 15 regiments there—amongst them there were four regi ments of Cape Mounted Rifles, artillery, and no less than 2,300 Germans, the latter alone amonnting to three full regiments ; and in a time of peace, when all the troops possible were wanted for India, they were told that there were no more soldiers at the Cape than was wanted, although there was there more than the war compliment. We were told that two regiments were to be sent to India but h e did not t hi n k they would be despatched. Moreov er , h e t h oug ht that six regiments should be sent off, esp ec i a ll y it , as it was represented, it was not necessary t o k ee p the Kaffirs quiet at the point of German b ayonets . (Hear, hear.) The questions he wished th ere f ore answer ed were, at what date the German Le g i on a t th e C a p e was put on full pay ; what cause led to such a proceeding to the loss and expense of the British Government, and whether the two regiments bad been despatched, and if so, how many more it was intended to send out? Mr. LABOUCHE RE said he did not complain of the questions being put to him without notice, but he re gretted that the hon. gentleman had taken the oppor tunity of going into the policy of Sir G. Grey. He would not now enter i n t o a di scuss i on as to that policy, but he would only say that he believed the proceed. ings of the governor would be as successful and poli tic as they had been Wile and energetic. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the question put to him, he stated the German Legion, very s oon a ltar its arrival at the Cape, was called out and embodied, partly because it was thought advisable to do so, an d p a rtly for military rea sons, that sons, because the Cape was not so tranquil as it had be corae since. He considered it most fortunate that the German Legion had been sent to the Cape, as it would enable Sir G. Grey to increase the reinforcements which he would send to India. He did not apprehend, like the hon. gentleman, that Sir G. Grey would depart from hie duty by keeping at the Cape more troops than were actually necessary ; on the contrary, he believed that he would send every man that could be spared consistently with the safety of the Cape. The Governor of Bombay had applied to the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope for reinforcements, and he (Mr. Labouchere) had written to Sir G. Grey to give as much assistance to the Indian authorities as possible. He had not yet received intelligence from the Cape of what had been done, but he was convinced that the instructions Sir G. Grey had received would be carried out to the f u ll es t ex t en t. He considered it wasj entirely owing to there being such a large quantity of troops at the C a p e th at we had not had a Kafir war in addition to our troubles in India. Sir DE LACY EVANS observed that yesterday was the first intimation given that 2,300 men had been added to the force of this country, and now they were told that they had been embodied for some time. He wished to know how it was no sum appeared in the estimates for such a purpose. Mr. LABOUCHERE replied that the information was not complete when it was first received, and under such circumstances he thought it better not to lay it before the hou-e until it was complete. . IClajor WORTLEY trusted the regiments—the 45th, 91st, and 731—which had been out at the Cape some time beyond their colonial service, would be sent out to India. ••• Sir • G. GREY said the governor only ordered the g a o n . d hat not de ne i u d m e ( h i e ars to o h a t t h s e h r o e u g l i d m l e e n a t v s e t t h h a e t c s o h l o o l y d , Mr. ADDERLEY asked how many regiments had been asked for? Mr. LABOUCHERE only two had been asked for, but he hoped a larger number would be sent. In reply to a question from Sir DE LACY EVANS, Mr. V. smini said it was not intended to add to the company's European regiments. DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL. Lord PALMERSTON moved that the amendments of the Lords be taken into consideration. Mr. HENLEY objected. There had been a pause in the business for some time, and they sat looking at each other, and now they were asked to agree to certain amendments before they actually knew what they were, and probably the Government Were in no better position. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY aaid, on looking at the bill as it came from the Lords, he could not find a clause which, ac cording to the newspapers, he expeoted to find there.

He said that this was an important meeting in connection with the under taking. There could be no doubt but that they were in a mess —(hear, hear)—and no one could deny that utter ruin attended them if the creditors did not assist them selves. Two things he observed were wanting at meet ings held in the gardens, viz., the attendance of directors and a bountiful supply of refreshments. (Hear, hear.) He called upon all present to amicably and seriously •3nsider their position and devise some course of future action, with a view of retrieving their position. Mr. FLEMMING, solicitor, referred to the petition in the Bankruptcy Court, and the proceedings therein on Saturday. The petition was that of Mr. Horace Jones, the architect, and was supported by Mr. Alfred Jones, his brother, solicitor to the company, and any remarks made on them must have reference to their official char. acter only. He thought the commissioner appeared at first to have an erroneous opinion of the undertaking, having characterised it as a " bubble" company ; but he subse quently was induced to alter his opinion, and as they all knew he postponed the further consideration of the petition at the shareholders' request, with permission to inspect the accounts. That he and Mr. Coombes did as well as they could yesterday, assisted by Mr. Elles, the secretary. The accounts were very complicated ; but, after such an examination as they could give, they as certained to a great degree how their money had gone, and especially where the dividend came from ; but be fore he proceeded to detail the result cf the investigation of the accounts, he referred to a clause in the Limited Liability Act, which gave creditors a claim on the direc tors of a company, if they paid a dividend out of capital with a view of misleading the public. (lear, hear.) The course they would pursue hereafter would, of course, depend on circumstances. At the meeting he was told that there were no outstanding debts ; but he had since ascertained there were liabilities outstanding exceeed hog 9,0001. There was owing to Mr. H. Jones 11,1001., and there were two mortgages of 9,5001, and 5,080/. out standing. The hon. gentleman then entered into Cue details connected with these sums, and in reference to 3,0001. said that that sum did not appear in the banker's book as it ought to have done after it was paid by the mort gagee,—(cries of shame)—but Mr. Ellis, the secretary, explained that it was paid over to Mr. Coppock, in payment of a sum of money which be had advanced on account of the building, and, thereihre, when he received it he repaid himself„ for which he thought he was, on the whole, probably not to blame. The sum of 9,0001. outstanding was borrowed previous to April last, when the shareholders were called together, arid an account rendered, stating that there were no outetaeeing liabili ties except for the current expenses of the day, so that a dividoud was declared and paid when the company was insolvent. (Hear, hear.) He had looked in vain for the sum of 14,0001., paid for the grounds, in the bank ing book,—(hear, hear), but he found that 1750 shares were banded over to somebody in lien, and with which Mr. Tyler was indebted, but it was impossible to say what had become of the u ; he had no doubt, however, that Mr. Tyler would be able to show that, though he had been in difficulties in connection with the gardens it would appear he had not been culpably neglectful. Mr. Flemming then called on the meetieg to say whether they would permit Mr. Jones to wind up the concern, or act for themselves. He thougnt the shareholders might be able to retrieve their position and save their money by making arrangements with the creditors. The hut:lord would give the shareholders every assistance. (Hear.) Mr. normal, proposed a resolution repudiating Mr. Jones and his brother the solicitor as basing to wind up the company, but that it should be done voluntarily, which would have the effect of saving expense and an enormous sacrifice of the property of the company. In addressing the meeting Mr. Nichol! adverted to several incidents connected with the progress of the company, in the course of which he referred to the cost of building the refreshment room being unliquidated when the la t shareholders last met the director:, though it was said there were no outstanding debts, and also t) defrauding Mrs. Seacole. M. JIMLIEN, who was present, appeared on the men tion of Mrs. Seacole's name to be much excited. He exclaimed, "That was a robbery." (Hear, hear.) The money ought to have been paid over every day. The public with the Duke of Cambridge and other noblemen and gentlemen who patronised the performances, have been robbed. The money has been taken away to pay bills written by himself. The CHAIRMAN reminded M. Jullien that it would be better for him not to interrupt a speaker, but Wait and address the meeting after. M. JULLIEN—The gen tl eman l oo k e d a t me as if ask ing a question. Mr. NICHoLL said that he looked at M. Jullien, know ing that if no other gentleman present sympathised with him when he mentioned Mrs. Seacele'd name, he would. He Nichol') was enabled to state that the poceed ings in connection with Mrs. Seacole would be laid before Lord Palmerston to-morrow, to show that the shareholders were free from all imputation in reference to Mrs. Sea cole's festival. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SWAN seconded the motion, which was put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN proposed, as Mr. Tyler, the manager, was present, that he should be asked to explain his posi tion ne such, and with reference to the 14,0001. purchase money, but whether in shares or money it was im material. Mr. TYVER said he had much pleasure in complying with the chairman's request, and in doing so said he attended on his own responsibility, and irrespective of the directors, to explain his position with the company, and what he had done so far as he could to promote the interests of the shareholders. It was true he was considered manager, but he assured them it was but nominal, because the real manage ment was held by those who thought they knew more than he did, and who told him that he was only to carry out the views of the directors, who had proved themselves incompetent, though he believed they had acted from a belief that they were promoting the under taking. He then read a report that he prepared for the directors, as to what course of management should be pursued, and in the course of his remarks be said that he thought it was a great mistake to have a Ga-sier or an Alboni six consecutive nights. (Hear, hear.) The gardens where purchased of Mr. Cross at 14,0001., but having been kept out of possession of them for a certain period 11,5001. were paid for aBi years' lease. Of that amount 11,000/. were paid in cash and 5001. on a bill bearing interest. In buying a concern like this the shareholders should bear in mind they did not purchase bricks and mortar but the character of the place, and the likelihood of making money. The West Kent Railway at one time offered 16,000/, the Temperance Society 18,0001. fur the ground, and Mr. Gough bad communicated with Mr. Fleming for a renewal of the lease, he being al,le to obtain it. Mr. FLEMING said that the Temperance Society was at one time in treaty for the grounds. Mr. TYLER said that whenthe grounds were purchased from Mr. Cross, Mr. Coppock and Mr. Stamp advanced 11.5001., and he put in about 8001. or 1,0001. of his own. After that it was found that he was indebted to them 11,000/., which was paid in 14,0001. worth of shares. Mr. Coppock took 11,000/. worth, and suppesed ha had 3,000 paid-up shares, which afterwards, though completely regis tered, turned out to be 212 paid-up shares, 4262/. paid, and 2 with 4/, paid, leaving him afte r all liable for 3,5001. on the 3,000 shares. Mr. nattier, a-ked if there was a mortgage on the pr operty before it was purchased ? Mr. TYLER—Yes. Mr. IsTecaoaa said that Mr. Coppock denied on Satur day that there was any mortgage or lien on the pro perty when it was purchased. Mr. TYLER—Ho had a charge on the property, though net a regularly executed moregage. The expla nation he had to give them had been made, arid it was for them to say if he had acted right or wrong. The CHAIRMAN said that he understood the Temper ance Society would give 16,000/. on the full faith that there - a as to he a 50 years lease. Mr. TYLER said that was wrong. Mr. TARRY said that a few days before Mr. Garvey died, who was treating for the Temperance sllo he r t had a communication with him respecting the lease. In answer to a question from Mr. SWAN, M. JULLIEN said that he on a former occasion offered 112,0001. for the groun ds, but he declined purchasing on account of the short lease. After some further conversation, The CHAIRMAN said that they must prevent Mr. Jones from winding up the concern, and expressed an opinion George Holt Skinner, corn merchant, Queen - strer that there was a des ire on the p art of some to brin g the Cheapside, to surrender 'ept. 5, at eleven, and Oct. 3, A 14th Light Dragoons—Brevet-Colonel Charles P.

Bonds, issued for banking purposes, and falling due in eight years, up to the amount of 80,0001. We regret to announce the death of Lieutenant A. J. Molesworth, Royal Marines, chief officer of the coast guard station at Rochester, which took place on Sunday morning at 3.45 a.m., from the effects of an apopletic fit with which be was seized a few days previous, and from which he was quite insensible ever sine. _ EXIIIBITION Or ART Texasuass.—The attendance has improved upon two days of the week very materially, and these are Mondays and Saturdays. On Saturday last this improvement was mainly owing to the reduction of fees to 6d. each after 2 o'clock. Up to that hour 3,126 persons entered at is. each, and afterwards 16,275 entered at 6d. each, by far the largest attendance yet recorded. Yesterday there was again a large number of ls. visitors, the excursion trains from various places bringing great numbers of people on Mondays. This will probably be the case for some time to come, as the country town and village feasts and wakes throughout the manufacturing districts have now commenced. These annual celebrations almost invariably commence on the , Sunday, and Monday therefore is an eligible day for excursion trains, when business being almost suspended those who wish to escape such scenes of rude rejoicing and confusion, can well spare a day for a trip to the Exhibition. Taz CORNISH FISHERIES.—The drift boats at Mevagisisey have been taking during the past week from 1,000 to 10,000 pilchards per boat. A few days ago one boat brought in nearly 40,000 fish. On Wednesday, at Looe, two seins brought in from 70 to 80 hogsheads of fine fish, and the draft boats have been taking from 10,000 to 15,000 each boat. Large shoals of fish bav• been seen by the boats returning from Ireland, about 14 miles from the coast. Large quantities of mackerel have been taken on the South Devon coast, and sold at very moderate prices, during the past week. THE BANK OF FRANCE. —The letter's from Paris state that the Bank of France will shortly commence issuing notes of 50f., or 2/. each, in accordance with the ar rangements e t n h t e s i r entered ehar t i e n n to at T h t e h e lowest t o f amountthe recent h l e t exten sion ° in ofo having b e en 4/., this step is likely to economize the specie c i rc ulati u o cla n hl a eece n sk d inf t og o r etcauseteer every note existing not e considerableisdsrua eiqua ntity drain, bu t tbhuetß l t ilk o l flow into the coffers of the Bank. It can, however, have corresponding sum in silver or gold. Supposin g t ran h eco e tca m eileneff t ra o al i et s i n itn 1,000,0001. in 21. notes against 500,0001. in specie and 500,0001 . in securities, the effect would be twpooorautdli would quantities,nsacOtas O ae O n. 01, to the circulation, and to cr e at e rise dg ot i oh n du t ss h t e oa u prices nfottf the all eo commod i t ies . bparlaannFrance i against g aincsr a te h r ee ? rd s: until she had sent away an additional amount of specie, sufficient to reduce her circulation to its former level. The case therefore stands as follows :—lf the Bank merely issue the notes to draw in a corresponding amount of specie they may strengthen their pos ition, but will of course make no profit from the operation. If, on the other hand, they seek to make a profit by increasin i g their amount of securities, they must be prepared, k proportion as they do so, to find themselves driftingba e to the condition which has so long occasion ed uneasiness.
