rd. N MAR NET com NERO' INTELLIGLITOM CITY, Two o'CLocs. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with an active appearance, and there was a slight improvement in prices. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters. The Rail way Share Market closed steadily, and prices were a shade higher. During the last few days some large amounts of specie have been taken from the Bank of France, for the purchase of silk in Lombardy and other places. This, it is stated, has led to a reduction in the stock of bullion since the date of the last return of at least 800,0001., and on this account it is feared that the anticipated decline in the Bank rate to 5 per cent. may be delayed, notwithstand ing the anxiety of the administration to afford re lief at the earliest opportunity. The trade of France is naturally depressed through the mainten ance of the current discount regulations, andas soon as the position of the Bank shall warrant it, a re laxation will no doubt immediately take place. The Directors of the Bank of England at their meeting to-day, as was generally expected, made no further alteration in the terms of interest and discount. In some quarters a change was not con sidered improbable ; and the impression that au early decline will take place has been somewhat strengthened by the fact, that large parcels of gold have been recently added to the metallic reserves of the es tablishment, but this morning very few were con fident of a modification. Six per cent. is still an exceedingly high point for an official discount quo tation, and the Directors, like their confreres at Paris, are disposed to lower it whenever the position of affairs will admit of extended monetary operations. The demand .at present is active, and full rates are current, consequently there is no necessity for an immediate alteration, especially as the stock of "other securities" is very extensive. When these are reduced and the reserve of notes is larger, a further diminution of per cent. will be justified. In the meantime it will be interesting to watch the specie movement, the Eastgrn exchange, and the progress of events at Paris. The English Stock Market although very dull is some rather firmer, and the tendency is in a favourable direction. Business continues very inactive and the , transactions daily recorded are exceedingly unim portant. The increased firmness on the Paris Bourse, and the sale of 120,0001. of Californian gold to the Bank yesterday have produced a fractional improve ment. Consols are marked 93k but the present quotation is 93i For the opening they have been 93g. The New 3 per Cents. have remained steady at 92i to 93, and also the Reduced Annui ties. Exchequer Bills are ss. to 3s. discount, the Small Bonds 3s. discount to 2s. premium, and India Bonds are Ss. to 4s. discount. In the Foreign Market several transactions have taken place, and rather more firmness in quota tions is apparent. Turkish 6 per Cents are 961 I, and the 4 per Censs. have been largely dealt in at 1011 to 1021. The latter are now about 1311 to 102 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. are 42i, and the Cer tificates, Q. Sardinian Bonds are marked 89i ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 461, and Guatemala 5 per Cents., 53.

The meeting of the shareholders of the above company has just been held, and the statement of accounts (the substance of which 7 e published yesterday) gave general satisfaction. Mr. CHARLES FRANKS took the chair, and explained the various items, aid proposed a dividend of 5l• per share free of income-tax for the half-year ending the 29th May. B Mr. GEO. .11IBBERT thought it imprudent to divide so much, as a very small sum would remain to meet con tingencies, but • The CHAIRMAN said that the Board had taken the subject fully into consideration, and the report and divi dend were therefore adopted. THE NEW BISHOP OF SIERRA LEONE.—The Secretary of State for the Colonies, on the recommendation of the Archbishop of Canterbury, has appointed the Rev, John Bowen, M.A., Rector of Orton Longueville, near Peter borough, to the bishopric of Sierra Leone, rendered va cant by the death of the Right Rev. Dr. Weeks. He will be consecrated in the course of next month by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Not since the Imperial, Crown of France was placed on the head of Napoleon 111. by the vcte of 1852 has any political event unconnected with foreign affairs so roused the attention of the world as the elections which have just taken place. The results are now sufficiently known. In Paris tl.e Government has been defeated in thrae distracts out of ten. General Cavaignac, formerly Chief of the Republic and the opponent of the present Emperor in the contest for the Presidency, has been chosen in the third district, though, on account of the in sufficiency of his majority, be must go through an other election. In the fifth and sixth districts MM. Carnot and Goudchaux, names well known in former days, have been returned by large majo rities. It is true that in the other seven districts Government candidates have been returned, yet we cannot but look upon the result of the elec tions in Paris as a moral b'ow to the Government. At Lille, Bordeaux, and Lyons it is also said that Opposition candidates have triumphed. The strug gle, therefore, is not unlike that which seated. Louis Napoleon, nearly nine years - ago, in the Pre sidential chair. Then, as now,,the grea t mass of the people suppo r t e d him through confidence in his personal qualities and veneration for his family name. But Paris, Lille, Lyon., and some other centres of population and disaffection protested, perhaps, even more strongly then than now. ' It appears that in the present case the number of Opposition candidates returned is very small—. the Ministerial papers say there are not more than nine br ten ; so that the Emperor may well assert that the great body of the people which chose him is still ready to support the legislators of his choic?. So far, then, the Government has been successful, and no one can doubt its success. But it is not at all improbable that from the elections of 1857 may be reckoned a period very different from that with which the Empire commenced. Undoubtedly, the policy of the Empire is, and always has been, to appeal from Paris to France, from the fickle, critical, and keen-witted inhabi tants of the capital, to the more domestic, affec tionate, religious, and money-saving provin c i a l s . No one can doubt the determination of the Empe ror not to be dictated to by mobs or meetings as long as he possesses the steady adherence of those whose votes placed him on the throne. Yet an ad verse election in Paris must exercise much influence both at home and abroad. In the first place, Paris is not only to Frenchmen but to the world in gene ral the representative of France. English travellers who visited the country prior to the first Revolu tion observed the complete dependence of mind which distinguished the people of the 'provinces, and the character is still the same. The very far mers and vine growers, who supported Government candidates this week will begin to doubt their own wisdom when they hear that a Cava'gnac and a Carnot have been returned by a district of enlight ened and witty Parisians. Furthermore, Paris and the large towns are the only places, or are thought to he the only places, where electors ate not intimi dated and ballot-boxes are not tampered wit.h. In the rural districts the Prefect and the Bishop, the Maire and the Priest, may be said to cons itute society. The peasantry and small proprietors, acute and hard-fisted enough in their way, are the most acquielcent of • mortals so far as regards dynasties and constitutions. They will follow the lead of Government officers and, spiritual advisers, and their votes may always be counted on for the support of existing authority, excepting when, as in the case of the Presidency of 1848, the clergy are ranged against the civil power. It is likely, then, that bath to France and the world the elec tions of Paris, Lyons, and Lille may stand for the legitimate expression of the country's will. There there is communication and co-operation ; the votes, though given by ballot, are no secret, and the opinions of each elector are known to a large body of friends. So they may be considered free, and the result of a more instructed choice than the decision of any body of provincials. The conduct of the Government officials must also add to any distrust with which the course of this conflict has been regarded. It is s now plain to the world that the Emperor and his advisers set their hearts on returning every man of their own party. Paris was especially the object of their solicitude ; so eager were the Tuileries and the Hotel de Ville that even in this most solemn constitutional proce dure, in this first essay on the rights guaranteed by the Imperial system, the most intolerable interfe rence was practised. Nor was it successful. Men who live under despotic power become disposed to respect courage and unshaken self-confidence above any other qualities of a ruler ; and in this affair such acts as the warning of the Siecle, the publica tion of M. Haus3mann's intemperate address, and the undignified manifesto of M. Billault may well have prevented thousands from vot;ng for the Go vernment candidates, and swelled the lists which gave the Opposition candidates a seat iu the Legis lature. CUTTING AND WOIINDING. —AN Inisff ROW.—Ann Bryan, a young Irishwoman, was brought rr:p in custody, charged with cutting and wounding Cathetin e °WIWI), by striking her on the head and arms with a poker. The complainant, whose head was bandag.ed up and If fr, arm in a sling, raid that about twelve o'clock on the previous night she was going to her lodgings, Metropoli tan-buildings, New•slley, White•street, with. her sister, and as they were passing the house in which tie prisoner and her friends resided, one of them attackx). her sister, who called out loudly for assistance. Witn es 3 went up, and was immediately attacked by the pr is over as she was trying to get her sister away. - Then Abe prisoner snatched a poker from some one, ar.d dealt 'itwo or three blows en her head and arm, until she became insensible. 0.) her recovery she was taken to the hospital, where Ilea wounds were dressed, and 13' . .e was sent Ibome. After that she g tve information to the police, and. the prisoner was given into custody. In cross-examination by Mr. Solomon& for the pri soner., witness said that she was quite sol ier, and said nothing ta-any one, neither did her sister. ''hey were al erfectly s , ber. Mary Bryan, sister to last witness corr 3bsrated her testimony, and added that she was attacked • by eight or nine persons as she was passing up the alley, and she said nothing whatever to them. Her sister merely came up to her assistance, when the prisoner str ack her with t-ie poker. She was sure that it was a poker that she used, Po!iceolnstable 134 M, said, that at eig'at o'clock on the same morning, he was called ,to take the prisoner into custody. When told what the prisoner w as charged with, she said, "Oh, dear; I am very sorry for it." it." Witness produced a certificate from this house sur geon of the hospital, setting forth that the vrnunds were very bad, and the prosecutriz was not out orf danger. In defence, Mr. Sulomons contended that his client wai first attacked, and in protecting himself, she took a stick fr3m a by slander, and struck. the complainant. She denied using a poker. The Magistrate said ha should remand her for the attendance of the surgeon who dressed the wounds. Now, however, we must look to the future. The new Legislative Body is chosen. It is, as before, devoted to the Government, but has among its number a knot of men who, under the various names of Constitutionalist, Liberal, and Republi-. can, are hostile to the system which is now esta blished in France. The queston is—" What will these now Representatives do ?" The Minister of the Interior has declared that they are merely frondeurs who have sought election under the pre sent Constitution in order that they may publicly express their contempt for it, and refuse their alle giance 'to the Throne. A great body of French then, and probably thousands who voted for the Opposition candidates, think so too. We cannot doubt that many a workman who hes smelt the powder of the barricades, and who - Jo friend or brother has disappeared either to the grave or to Guiana, after some insurrectionary movement, voted in the hope that the caud:date of his choice would indignantly refuse the oath to obey the usurper, and quit the Chamber, ex claiming " Vive la Republique I" But we can not think that the Opposition members wil be so ill-advised as thus to play the game of the Government, and acquire for themselves the repu tation of factious and theatrical disturberi of the peace. Even if they do not recognise the legality of the means by which the Emperor mounted his throne, yet he is on it, and a majority of the nation has not only condoned but approved the excesses of 1855. Napoleon 111. is Emperor of the French ; the elections have taken place under the Imperial Constitution, and to accept the pirt of a candidate is to accept ►he Government which authorised the election. For the few Liberals who have been re turned to quit the Chamber with an affected pro test against the regime which alone allowed them to enter it would be a display highly detrimental to their cause. It would justify all that the Go vernment organs have raid respecting the vanity and intemperance of the Opposition, and would furthermore be a betrayal of those who have endan - gered their prospects in order to restore to the con stitution au element of vitality. We have said that possibly these elections will be the beginning of a new period. This may be so, if the Liberal candi dates whose claims have been supported by the people go into the Chamber with a determination to play the part of honest and independent legis lators. Without speeches treasonable or seditious, without protests against the misdeeds of past days, they may effectually, if they desire, check the self-will of the Court and the insolence of its functionaries. Even a dozen men, if they hold together, and make moderate and well-timed speeches about matters on which they are sure to be right, must in a few months exercise a moral control over any number of benches filled with the puppets of a Government. The small end of the wedge has been forced into the fabric of the Imperial system ; whether it will be driven home depends on the judgment of the men to whom- the Opposition has confided its cause. st. 11.1 st. pi 5 al St. W St. 10 25 a 50 a 25 a 12i a 121 a 20 al St. 1 St 4 11 .64 50 a 50 a 50 a 25 a 12i a] at. 1100 10 I a, 50 I a: 25 a st. 100 st.

During the debate a letter was read from the Hon. R. H. Dutton, one of the county mem bers, stating that the Government did not intend to abandon the site. Resolutions were agreed to, ex pressing the opinion of the council that the state ments made by Mr. Stafford in the House of Com mons relative to the unhealthiness of the'site were not founded. in fact, but that,-on the contrary, the site chosen was-most eligible for the purpose, an opinion borne out by all the medical authorities of the town and surrounding districts ; that the report of the Medical Society be advertised in the Times ; that the report of the sanitary committee be re ceived and adopted, and that the medical reports be printed. and forwarded to Lord Palmerston, the members for the borough and county, and such other members of the House of Commons as may be considered necessary ; that the members for the borough be respectfully requested to take the earlie.t opportunity to contradict the statements in question ; and also that Lord Palmerston be requested to receive a deputation of the council.

CAUTION TO THE BENEVOLENT.—THE " TWIN" DODGE. Mary Callaghan, a strong young woman, with two bouncing children in her arms, which she :Alleged to be twins, was brought before Mr. Bingham,• charged with the following system of imposture : Mr. William Alex inder Coombe, No. - 33, Ess et-street, Strand, stated that about five o'clock yesterday after noon, he was waiting for an omnibus, at the end of Ox ford-street, when his attention was attracted, to the pri soner, who was standing at the corner of a gateway, with two babies in her arms, with their facen turned up to, the burning hot bun. Being the fathei of a family himself, he went up to her and expostulat ed with her upon exposing the childrens eyes to the sun. He then questioned her, and she said the children were hers, and were twins, and she was in great distress. ,He looked at the children and was positive they were , not twins, and when he saw a constab:e he gave her into .custody. The prisoner was then conveyed to the s';ation-house, where she was searched, and ss, in coppers was found upon her. In defence, the prisoner raid the children were hers, and she had only recently arrived from Edinburgh in search of her husband, who was a labourer. She was lodging in Mint-street, but did not know the number of the house. Mr. Bingham was about to send her to Mint-street, with an officer, to ascertain if her tale was true, when Reany, one of the Mendicity constables, stepped forward and said the prisoner's mother was present, who, no doubt, would give some further information about the prisoner. An old Irishwoman, who said she lived at 45, Pear street, Westminster, in answ e r to Mr. Bingham, said the prisoner was her daughter, and had been living with her for the last three days in Pear-street. The children *ere beet', and twin.. Sho was an honest woman, and got her bread by hard work. Reany said he had known the prisoner ever since she was a child, and f some years it had been a regular system with her to exhibit child ren a b ou t town, repre -elating them to be twins. Her sister cariied on the same system of imposition, and the old woman herself was a notorious beggar and impostor, and made no end of money out of the benevolent. Mr. Bingham said the prisoner was a most wicked itnpostor, and he was quite sure that in this hot weathe she woul I be much better in prison, t 3 which she must be committed for one month.

Yesterday, a meeting of deputations from the northern metropolitan parishes took place at the Marylebone Court-house, for the purpose of taki n g measures for a determined opposition to the Amended Leases and Sales of Settled Ltates' Bill, having for its object the removal of the clause from the act of last session, which prohibits persons in the position of Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson from letting land for building purposes on places like Hampstead Heath. 31r. T. D'lffanger occupied the chair. Mr. TURNER, representative for Hampstead, said their first step must be to prevent the repeal of the clause in the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Bill of last session, which Would give Sir T. M. Wilson the power to build over Hampstead Heath. With a view to effect that object, he begged to move the appointment of a deputation to wait upon Sir B. Hall to ask his influence with the Go vernment and Parliament to prevent the proposed measure passin g. After some discussion on the point, the resolu tion was carried. The ttev. R. &KETT moved the second resolu tion, to the effect, "That it was desirable that the Metropolitan Board of Works should enter into correspondence with Sir T. M. Wilson, to ascertain on what terms he will sell his right, and the re mainder, as to Hampstead Reath, and the conti guous lands mentioned in the report of the Metro politan Board Gf Works, so as to secure the same for the benefit of the public." Mr. CAMERON seconded this resolution. Mr. FREETH said that he had that morning seen Sir' B. Hall, and he expressed to him his apprehen sion that the proposed alteration of the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Act would pass, as they would not allow the people of the metropolis to be like the dog in the manger, neither take the Heath themselves, nor allow the owner to make use of it. The people were wofully mistaken in supposing that the Heath was their own. Mr. Freer suggested the holding of a monster 'meeting on Hampstead heath, on Monday evening next. (Hear.) The resolution was carried unanimously, and a deputation appointed, to whom the other matters were also referred. • . _ . The meeting separated, after urging the metro politan parishes at once to petition Parliament against the proposed alteration in the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Bill. THE RAILWAY CAB QUESTION. -Last evening a general meeting of the hackney carriage proprietors was held at the Cranbourne Hotel, St. Martin's-lane, for the purpose of adopting such means as may be deem expedient for the total abolition of railway privileges, thereby improv ing the condition of their horses and carriages, and de. creasing the transit of traffic throughout the metropolis The meeting was adjourned till next Wednesday, July 1, at eight o'clock, for the further consideration of tLe oubjeot. PRIVATE BUSINESS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the Wycombe Railway, and the Burslaua and Tunstall Gai bills were rt a,;l a second time. THE ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION AND DIVORCE BILLS. In reply to the Earl of WICKLOW, The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was the inten tion of the Government, if those two bills passed the other house, to introduce similar ,bills foi Ireland. With respect to the Probate and Letters of Admini stration Bill, a measure was already in preparation, but he could give no distinct pledge that it would be intro duced during the present session. kINI - STERS MONEY BILL. The Marquil of WESTMEATH complained of an in• accurate report of his speech which had appeared in the Times. Ho had been made so say that the Roman Ca tholics of Ireland entertained a feeling of hostility against the Established Church. He said nothing of the kind. He had written to the editor of the newspaper but he had taken no notice of the communication. SALE OF OBSCENE BOOKS PREVENTION BILL. Lord CAMPBELL moved the second reading of this bill. The obj et of the measure was to put an end to the sale of obscene books and pictures, an evil which had increased to an alarming extent of late years. The only remedy that at present existed was to indict the publish . - era for a misdemeanour, but the greatest difficulty was experienced in bringing the offenders to justice. The present- bill would authorise the magistrates to grant a warrant authorising the police to enter the shop of any person suspected of selling these abominable publics. Cons, to seize any books and pictures ofan obscene nature. It was not the object of the bill to create a new offenee, nor did it give a power of summary conviction ; but it elm{ ly extended the prov sions of the Betting-house Act to show; of the description he had mentioned. Lord BROUGHAM said it could not be denied that the sale of obscene books and pictures had increased to a very great extent, but he thought the details of the bill of the n oble an d learned lord would require careful conside ration. A 'levitation must certainly be fixed as to what works were of a character to be deemed obscene. He did not think it was the intention of the noble and learned lord to indicta bookse'hir forse 1 , n2 copies of Horace orJavenal Lord CAMPBELL—Certainly not. _ _ _ The CHANCELLOR said be felt considerable clif . culty in opposing the present bill, which had for its object the purpose of checking evil. The bill, in its present state was vey imperfect, and he thought before it could receceive the assent of their lordships it . would require very great alteration. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. _ The Lord 3 aineudtnents to the Calcutta and South• Eastern Railway Curepany bill were considered, and agreed to. The Back weer Bridge and Road; Bury Gas ; Can hock Miner."

GROSVENOR gave notice that on an early day he should move the house to address the Queen, praying her Majesty to appoint a committee for the purpose of txirnining the liturgy of the Church of Eng land, as to the propriety of recommending an alteration calculated to improve its efficiency. (Hear, hear.) DISTRIBUTION OF MEDALS. Sir C. NAPIER asked why the sailors of the Royal Navy were not to attend Hyde-park to-morrow to wit ness the distribution of the order of valour by her Ma jesty ?

The third vomnicridAtion was easier of being carried out, and it was being acted on. It should be borne in mind that half the amount of rensuneraton paid to union medical officers was defrayed by the Trea• enry. THE INDIAN DEBATE. In answer to a question from Lord C. HAMILTON, Sir E.

On the motion for the third reading of this bill, The Marquis of BLANDFORD moved that the bill oe read a third time this day six months. He objected to the bill on the grounds that the proposed oath won d relieve Roman Catholics from that part of the present oath which bound them, not to impair the Church of England as by law established • and that it diff e red from any previous bill that had been brought in by her Majesty's Government. The maintenance of Christianity was an essential element in this country, sad the noble marquis historically reviewed the oaths required to be taken from an early period in support of that Christian element ;- and he doubted if the noble lord was acting constitutiocally in altering the oath of supre ,nacy, which was thegreatsecurity for the mainteriance of the Protestant religion in the succession to t e throne. The noble marquis at some length entered into most of be arguments already used iu the former debates on this bill, arid in reference to the el , uses that had been added to the bill allo wing Jews to boll certain offices, dtc., his lordship said that their addition was a condemnation of rile bill by the noble lord (Lord Palmerston) himself. The Protestant religion had carried this country through many great trials, and had been a great check upon the despotism of the Crown, and be should be sorry to see anything done tbat would tend to injure it in the least. His lordship concluded by moving the third reading of the bill this day PiX months. Mr. H. DRUM MOND seconded the motion, and, in doing so, said that the b:11 h a d b een urged on two ground", deference to the opinions of the citizens of London, and personal respect for Baron Rothschild. Ho (Mr. Drummond) paid no deference to the opinion of the City of London, because their determination in returning Baron Rothschild was an intentional in -oh to that house and Christianity. (Laughter.) He had a personal respect fcr Baron Roths child, but he regretted that he could not support the bill on the ground of personalty. He did not object to the bill on the ground that it would unchristianise that house, because it had been already unchthtianised. The hon. gentleman made some remarks about the difference of opinion on reli kion between members of the Church of England and the Bench of Bishops, remarking that St. Paul's Cathedral was empty, yet the bishops approved of the use of unconsecrated concert rooms, and afterwards went into the country, and quar relled about consecrating burial-grounds. ("Hear, hear," and laughter) The O'Donoghue approved the third reading of the bill, not because be objected so much to the admission of the; Jews ,to Parliament as he did, that the bill did give equal rights to the Roman Catholics. [LEFT SPEAKING,] IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING. THE BROADSTONE ➢iURDER. The Mail of this evening announces that, after several weeks spent in a bootless inquiry —after over and over again declaring that the murderer was well known, and ere 24 hours elapsed he would be in cuAody—now, after the lapse of six months, the murder having been committed so far back as the 13th of November, an arrest has been made, and one person, at all eve n ta, a p a i n t er name d Spollen, stands arged with perpetrating that atro c'ous murder. The evidence upon which Spollen was this morning arrested was that of his own wife, which, being illegal, will require other evidence to sustain the charge. Spollen was employed, it ap peirg, as a pa 3 nter in the office of the Midland Railway, and his wife's information is to this effect: —She sweats that Spoiler.' painted Mr. Little's room a few days before the murder. She declares that on the night of the murder Spollen returned to his residence about eight o'clock, bringing a quantity of gold and silver ; that he told her it was LiTe's money, and that he had killed him. She saw him burn a pocket book and also his cravat; that she saw him cover with paint the bloodstains on his clothes, and that he told her he had made his escape through the root; after committing the murder. She assisted to conceal the money, and she further stated that the bag of silver found was Spollen's, and the bag was place d found was thetrunkby Spollen ; that the hammer was S p ollen's, and she believed the razor also, as he appeared very nervous the day it was found, and said he had thrown it in with the case on, and if the case were discovered it would no doubt be identified. She further stated that she knew where the money was concealed, and would show the police the place. At 2 o'clock to-day Superintendent Guy accom panied the woman, and found between two walls, within the precincts of the railway terminus, a large portion of the missing money, consisting of gold, bank-notes, and silver. The notes from the damp were nearly destroyed. Spollen will be brought up for examination to morrow. He is at present at the Chancery-lane station-house. MUSIC. CONCERTS.
