MONEY 7iT "P 7 7- W gr Lv", 4-11. AND COLIVIEI?,OIAL lIITELLIGEZTOE, CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Liverpool Cotton I\larket yesterday closed quietly, at previous prices. The sales were e,f taateLl at 2,000 bales. The Railway Share Market p r esented a dull appearance, and prices of all de scriptions were eta slight decline. notwithstanding tbe genera soundness of trade an occasional failure takes place, and among the l ast tw o or three days that of Messrs. Forster, Rutty, Hall, and Co., Scotch a d n Manchesler Wareho usemen has been announced. It is stated t hat the liabilities will exceed 50,000/., and the ass ets are not likely to yield a satisfactory dividend. Very little alteration occurred yesterday after no°ll in the rate of exchange f,,r three months' bills drawn, upon the Continen t, but the tendency was 8 4 unfavourable. A further supply of 312,152/. in Australian g old hag arri ve 1 b y the Swiftsure, and thus it is pre sinned that the withdrawals of bullion from the Bank will be temporarily arrested, notwithitand thg the continuous demand for silver for shipping t° the East. During the last few days more than a Million sterling has arrived, and farther remit tances froni Australia ore daily expected. The greater part of these receipts wil l, no doubt, be taken abroad, but it will afford much sa tisfaction to thr ee interested in the course of monetary affairs, iF a further depression of the Bank vaults is pre rented. Silver continues firm , at G2d. p er ounce s tandard, and the demand is supported. The meeting of the Scinde Railway Company t 0 - day was for considering the resolution of a fo rmer meeting for establishing an Indus Uotilla, which being confirmed, the meeting adjourned. The Waterloo has arrived from New South Wales, but lie is not supposed to have any gold Oa board. This morning another portion of the Austra lian mail arrived in town, so that there have now been five deliveries. • We have often had occasion to call attention to the gross negligence on the part of the postal authorities at Liverpool, and it is sincerely hoped that the carelessness exhibited in the present instance will excite a remonstrance f rom those engaged in the Australian trade. The arrangements at Liverpool are either defective, or the officials are incompetent to discharge their duties efficiently. The commercial bills are stated to have been well met yesterday, and no serious failures are an nounced. There is still a good inquiry for accom_ inodation, and in some quarters the possibility of an advance in the rate of discount, either to-mor row or next week, has been discussed. Continued depression is the prevailing feature of the English Stock Market, a further declen i°° of I per cent. having resulted from the trans actions concluded this morning. While there is an abse nce of good news from India no im p rovement c an be looked for,. and in the meantime speculation fo r a decline is carried on with confidence. The P u blic being attracted by the low prices of consols, purcha se d f or i nves t men t, b u t n ot extensively, and their operations fail to support the market. While 410 st persons anticipate even a lower range, it is b ut that som e day a violent reaction will occur, t this i s un lik e l y , un l ess s the mutiny is satisfac tb‘l 4 . c)r , il •Y suppressed. This desirable end is not expe cted n . ea ccomplished at once or without a serious outlay , a nd this impression, together with several minor adverse ; else influences, including the position of affairs 41 Persia, Sze., induces the time dealer to antici pate further depression rather than symptoms of permanent recovery. Consols for transf er have beenin 9 0U and 891 90. The present p resent p rice i mprovem en t and for September about Ku, a sudden ( LuProvement having just occurred.

The Foreign Market has remained quiet, and the drooping tendency of the Funds produces a heavy tone in the other departments of the Stock xchange. Turkish 6 per Cents. are about 94a . and the 4 per;Cents. guaranteed 99i. Spanish 3 per Cents. were 40 ; the Deferred 25 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents. 984 Mexican Stock is dull at 22! 2 . The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 ; Mexie Ln, 221 ; Peruvian 4 per Cents. 80 82 ; ditto 3 per Cents. 54 56 ; Portuguese 3 per Cants., 45 i ; Russian 5 per Cents., 110 12 ditto 4 Per Cents., 97 99 ; gpanisit 3 per Cents., 391 401 ; ditto Deferred, 241 ; 25 ; ditto Certificates, 5± ; ditto Passive, 51 1. The business transacted in the Railway Share Market this morning has been very limited, and in almost all instances at a decline of fully to ? . .5. Per cent, on yesterday's current quotations. Brigh ton, however, are an exception, having improved about 10s. Caledonian, Eastern Counties, North Western, South-Western, North Eastern Berwick, and North Eastern York, have declined ss. ; and great Western, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1/. dinburgh, Perth and Dundee, Manchester , Shef field, and Lincoln, North British, and Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton were also a shade lower. -Very little animation has been apparent in the Foreign and Colonial lines.

Sold at 37/. STATE OF TRADE. —MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—There a limited demani to-day, owing to the quietness of the Liverpool market, but prices are quite firm, and for any purchases full prices must be paid. ABOLITION OE SLAVERY IN THE DUTCH WEST INDIES. --THE HAGUE, August 3.—The Netherlands Govern ment has presented to the States General a projct de loi having fo r its object the abolition of slavery in the West Indies. The basis of the project will be an indemnity 'which is calculated at 34,000,000 guilders, to be paid to the proprietors of slaves. CAPTURE OF COINERS OF ENGLISH MONEY IN LlS ll:M.—Letters from Lisbon mention the capture of a set of coiners of English sovereigns and other foreign Pieces at Braga, about 30 miles from Oporto. The number of the party was seven, and among them was a priest. A no th er p r iest, who appears to have b een th e leader, has escaped. Tile coining was carried on in the house of one of these priests, and must have been con due ed on a large scale, as five carts, each drawn by four oxen, were required to remove the implements and rn4chinery after the seizure. English sovereigns, which are current in Portugal at 4,sooreis each, seem to have been the chief manufacture, but Spanish ounces and half-ounces of Charles 111. were also found. Tins trade has hitherto been conducted with impunity, but it is Ped that th e p resen t m easure will be vigorously fol lowed up, and that steps will be taken to detect and punish the forgers of Brazilian notes, regardinc , wh om serious e xpostulatioin; have lately been addressed ' to the Portuguese Government by the Brazilian Minister, rtiE S UN, Lo NDON, WEDNESDAY F,V EN (3, AUGUST 5, 1857 MAlllc.LTS—Jlais Day.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Da y.) SOUTH wAr,K. STRIKE AMONG 'THE FE RC UTT ERS.—INTIMID ATION AND ASSAULT. —Mary Sweeny, a young woman, in tl7e etnphy of Messrs. Donald de Clermont and C)., furrier', furcutters, and hatters of Stlple-stret.t, Ber rnot}d,ey, and Paris, was brotwht before Mr. C.)mbe, charged with a'sauiting Aoii Wells, a girl in the same factory. The complainant, a well-behaved girl, said that the females employed struck for more wages on the previous day and intimidated others to join them. Witness being an apprentice went to her work as usual, and as she was entering the factory the prisoner CAMe up to her and told her if she did not join the strike she would serve her out. She replied that she could not comply with the reque4 as she was perfectly satisfied, and as she was leaving her she struck her a violent blew on the eye. A policeman was coming pa-,t at the time and he took her into custody. Mr. Combe asked how many girls were employed at the factory ? Mr. Young, the manager, replied that , there were 120, and goneral'y they were well behaved. They earned from 9e. to 121. a-week regularly, and took it into their heads to demand more. The firm refused to comply with their unreasonable request, when nearly all of them struck for wages. The complainant was an apprentice, and that was the reason they picked her out for vengeance. Mr, Combo asked whether they had ever struck before ? Mr. Young replied in the affirmative, but tbat was four years ago. The prisoner stated she only asked the complainant to go with them, and they had some words, and a fight ensued. That wa. , , however, denied. Mr. Combe said it was clear she had committed the assault, and as a caution to her he should fine her 20s. or 14 days. Such conduct conk: not be allowed, and if it was repeated by any of thetthers, he should puni, h them with great severity The Lord Chancellor has just issued the following order for regulating the fees to be taken in the case cf joint stock companies wound up in this court under the 70th section of 19 and 20 Vict.

CRANWORTII, C." 0 0 6 THAMES. A VERY STRANGE CHARACTER. Maria Murray, a young woman, was brought before Mr. Yardley, cha n d e watch, v a l ue 61., from John re Middletond wit G h ri s f fitetahli,nagna goler. engineer. The prosecutor, a strange looking fellow, who gave his evidence in a strange manner, said that last night he met the prisoner in or near Aldgate, as the case might Le, and the young woman and himself and herself did not join another company male or female, but straight- way and direct took him to a house, No. 10, Lambeth street, Whitechapel, and they went into a room, the door of which he locked and put his gold watch and his money on the table. H e t h en went to bsd, and awoke at about three o'clock this morning and jumped out of bed, an d sa id, " My watch and money, where is it ? " He went to the table, and his watch was gone. He said to the prisoner, in plain English, " You have stolen my watcb, and I shall go to the police station." She said, "Do so," and I went and fetched a policeman. Mr..Yardley—Was the door looked when you awoke this morning ? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Yardley—And your money, where was that ? Witness—fafe, sir, on the table. Mr. Yardley—Were you drunk last night ? Witness—l was not drunk. lam one of those strange fe.lows who never got drunk. (Laughter.) Mr. Yardley—Or rather you are one of those strange persons who beileves he was never drunk. Witness—l can drink a large quantity of liquor with out getting drunk. Mr. Yardley— Did you drink a large quantity yester day ? Witness—l did, sir, and was quite sober. Liquor never affects me. lam a single man. Mr. Yardley—So it appears. Nhat have you to say, prisoner ? Prisoner—l never saw his watch. A. police constable said he hat not been able to trace the watch. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner until Monday next MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. ----- --- A very limited supply of English wheat—partly of the new crop, and in excellent condition—was on sale here to day. The trade may be considered steady, at Monday's currency, but the business doing is trifling. We v, ere well supplied with foreign wheat, which moved off heavily, at almost nominal currencies. In floating cargoes of grain very little was pasging. The barley trade was far from active, but no change took place in value. Malt was in moderate supply, and slow request on former rates. There was a steady inquiry for oats at full prices. Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper. I ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. 1 Barley. I Malt. 710 I 220 I 1,110 Oats.

Lessep's plan would be r ea li se d i n sp i te o f th e opposition of the British Government. THE RUSSIAN ARMY IN 1855. General Settler, who during the late war was Purveyor -General to the Russian army, has just made some interesting corn. munications to the Odessa Messenger. During the whole of the year 1855 there were 300,000 Russian so ldiers in the Crimea, with 100 ,000-horses. Towards the end of the war 132,000 waggons were employed in conveying the necessary supplies to the army. The number of draught oxen in the Crimea at the time of the landing of the Allies did not exceed 20,000. One hundred thousand men were before the fortress of Silis tria in 1854. PEOFESSIONAL.—A Western editor and his wife were walking out in the br i g ht moonlight one evening. The wife was of an exceedingly poetical nature, and said to her mate :—" Notice that moon—how bright, and calm, and beautiful." "Couldn't think of noticing it," re turned the editor, " for anything less than the usual rates—a dollar and fifty cents for twelve lines." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—ln your report of last night's deba'e it is stated that " No, no ! " was the answer to Mr. Roebuck when he said I had published the de.patch moved for by General Wyndham and Mr. Disraeli. My letter to you is accurate. Look at the garbled, cooked extracts from that memoir given as a return to Mr. Disraeli's motion, the memoir in extenso being refused on public grounds. The " No, no " must therefore have been applied to some other document— something new ; and the ridiculous conduct of Lord Panmure and his colleagues remain intact. W. NAPIER, Lieutenant-General. The Marquis and Marchioness of A.bercorn and family 101 l town yesterday for Scotland. The Earl and Countess Granville entertained a select circle at dinner last evening, at their residence in Bruton street. Tee Earl and Countess of Effiingham return to town to-morrow from Brighton, where they have been staying for a short time. The Earl and Countess of Erroll have left town for Scotland. Viscount and Viscountess Falkland will leave London in a few days for the Continent. James Coppock, B-rq„ has been appointed to the treasurership cf the Kent county courts, vacant by the death of the late W. F. A. Delane, Eq. LivEaron, August 4.—The Australian clipper-ship Morning Light, belonging to Messrs. James Baines and Co.'s Black Ball line, will sail on Friday for Melbourne, the post-office box closing at 8 a.m., and with late fee at 9 a m. MADAME TUSSAIID'S ExEIIBITION.—During the las few days some additions has been produced, and among them the criminal Bacon, lately convicted at Lincoln for the murder of his mother. The likeness of this con vict is most faithful, and be is placed with the figures of Palmer and Dove, fit companions for such an individual . At a meeting of the Australian Agr icultural Com p an y yesterday, Mr. E. Hamilton was elected Governor, and it was communicated that despatches had been received from the colonial superintendent to the 15th of May. Acccordlug to these the coal trade was remarkably active at very remunerative prices. A further remittance of 5,000/. has been received. Mr. George Peabody, the American banker, of Lon don made a visit to this city on the 16th. An incident which he related of himself, while here, will show to what Mr. Peabody is indebted for his success. Fifty years ago, at the age of twelve, he had occasion to pass through Concord, on his way to Vermont. He stopped all night at the Slickney Hotel, where he paid Lis lodging and breakfast by sawing wood.—Concord Democrat. THE NEW CODE OF SIGNALS.—The Admiralty has issued a c'rcular directing the commanders of Her Majesty's ships to make periodical returns of all mer chant vessels they may meet at sea, signalising their names by means of the new cnntnercial code of signals authorised by the Board of Trade. As every British registered vessel now ha', and every foreign vessel may have on application, a distinction stoat of four flags, whereby her name, port, nation, tonnage, and other particulars are indicated, it is to be expected that the regulation will prove conducive to commerce by insur ing more frequent and correct reports in the shipping lists. The four flags being distinguished by letters, this information may be promptly communicated by electric telegraph, and when the Atlantic cable is laid we may anticipate in Lloyd' s li s t s th e s hipping intelligence from , America as punctually as from the ports of the - United Kingdom. MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS.—The following is from the Committee of Mexican Bondholders :—" The committee have yesterday received the missing despatches from Mr. Whitehead, which are dated Mexico, July 2 and 3. Mr. Whitehead reports an interview eith the Minister of Finance, his Excellency Senor 1. 7 . - glesitie, who promised that on and after the Ist of July payments should be resumed in all the custom-houses. In the meanwhile the receipts by the agents had only been about $1,300. From Mazatlan $BlO had been remitted by her Majesty's iihip Alarm, but the money in the hands of the agen ts at Colitna bad not been shipped yet on account of the want of a conducta. In Guaymas a forcible seizure of about $2,060 by the military commander of the port bad taken place, which the Government had promised immed ately to restore. The country was tranquil, but alarmed at the turn the Spanish question was taking. Don Miguel Lerdo de Tejada had publicly declined to appear as a candidate for the presidency." BIRMINGHAM ELECTION.—The meeting held in the Birmingham Town-hall last evening was more than u-ually well attended—it was crowded. The object of the assembly was the recommendation of candidates at the nomiriation expected to take place in the early part of next week. Mr. Alderman Lucy presided, and a discussion took place as to the eligibility of candidate.. John Bright was proposed and seconded, and after that Mr. Attwood proposed, as an amendment, the substitu tion of the name of Mr. Baron Webster, son of a gentle man well endowed in this neigbbourho id, of good and liberal principles. The mejority, upon show of hands, was decidedly in favour of John Bright. There is no doubt that both candidates will be brought to the poll. To-day will disclose the intended proceedings of the Conservatives. THE PRETENDED PLOT TO ASSASSINATE LOUIS NA POLEON. —We quote, with much gratification, an able article on this subject from the last number of the Satur day Review. We believe there is not an intelligent per- son in this country, from the Queen, whose guest the alleged intended victim is to be to-morrow' d ow n to the humblest of her subjects, who does not fi r mly believe thee the whole affair has been got up in the hope of making Ledru Rollin the real victim, in revenge for the I fatal blow he has given to French Im p erialism, by the triumph which the distinguished refugee achieved in the Paris elections. But Louis Napoleon and his unscru pulous myrmidons have been caught in the trap which they had laid for Ledru Rollin. They have been taken in their own craftiness. The infamy with which they hoped to load the name of the leader of the French Re publicans has attached to their own names. Ledru I R o lli n stands higher in this country, and will every where become more popular, than ever ; while they will be compelled to crawl out of the affair covered with the world's contempt and hooted by its execrations. —Morning Advertiser, BRIGHT() (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

Grey) thought the course proposed the beet that could be adopted. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed tomorrow. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION, BILL. The committee on this bill was resumed. The remain ing clauses were agreed to and several new ones added. The bill was ordered to b 3 reported with amend ments TROOPS FOR INDIA. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Colonel NORTH, in the absence of General Codring ton, asked the Under Secretr-y for War the reason for sending only 140 men to the East Indies as the com plement of a troop of horse artillery when the war complement of such a troop was 253 men. Sir J. RAMSDEN said that this force cf art llery had been put under orders for India in the same way as all troops in compliance with a requisitial made to the home Government by the East _lndia Compa Jy. That requisition specified the number to be sent. The number of each troop and company required had been so arranged as to bring the total force within the requi sition made by the East India Company ; and that was the reason why this particular number had, been de cided on. BUSINESS OF THE DAY. Mr. SPOONER objected to the house going into supply before the orders of the day were diiposed of. Such a course was contrary to usual prac• ice, and de. prived private members of proceeding - with their bilk . He moved that supply be postponed till atter the dia posal of order No. 12 (Erection Petition Bd.). Sir G. GREY defended the course proposed to be adopted by the Government from the period of the session. He, however, consented to the orders of the day being taken seriatim, and supply afterwari Gi-REAT YA.RMOIJTH ELECTION. The petition of Charles Woollen, contlued in New. gate for contempt in giving his evidence before the Great Yarmouth Election Committee, was taken into consideration.

The summary proceedings before Justices Bill, the Metropolitan Police Stations, &c., 8,11, and B iundaries of Burghs Extension (Scotland) Bill were further consi• dered and ordered to be read a third time. ILLICIT DISTILLATION (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passe,i. ELECTION PETITIONS BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Sir G. GREY expressed his objection is the bill. and moved that it be read a third a time this day three months. A. discussion ensued, in which Mr. Spooner, Mr. Newdegate, and Mr. Henley took part. Mr. MALINS suggested that the la shoal I be with• drawn. Mr. SPOONER, in the absence of Mr. Adderley, the promoter of the bill, said that as Pat liament had affirmed the principle of the bdi, he would consent to that course. The bill, with amendments and improve. meats, could be re-introduced next session. The amendment was then agreed tq. LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES ACT AMENDMENT BILL.—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. MALINS moved the second reading of this bill. Lord R. GROSVENOR objected to the further pro gress of this bill, the object of which was to repeal the clauses of an act passed last ees-ion, to prevent the inclosure of Hampstead-heath and restrain Sir T. M. Wilson from building thereon. The noble lord referred to the proceedings that had taken place in and out of Parliament on this subject, and condemned the course proposed by the hon and learned member for the mover of the bill, in proposing the repeal of an Act of Parliament almost before it hat begin tried and the effect of its Provisions ascertainei. He c nit ended that the act did no it jury to Sir T. M. Wilson, and as re garded his wish to build on waste land near Hampstead Heath, as stated in the debate of last night, no objection would be offered to it. He moved the second reading of the bill this day three SPOONER supported the sec ind reading of the i‘ir. months. bill. He said that the idea of Sir T. M. Wilson's in tending to inclose Hampstead Heath bad arisen from a misapprehension. The clauses in the act referred to would inflict great injustice not only on Sir T. M. %Vil. Ban but other persons, because the laud on which he proposed to build was copyhold property, and was not near Hampstead Heath. The heath could only be in closed by a special act of Parliament, so that the inhabit- ants of the Metropolis were amply protected. Mr. BUTT, as a member of the select corn nittee who acceeded to the introduction of the causes in the act of last session, opposed the bill, which was au attempt to unceremoniously unsettle what had been the subject of mature consideration. the claim was introduced in consequence of Parliament having on a former occasion refused Sir T. M. Wilson's application far a private bill to inclose the heath. He looked upon this measure as a public bid for the private relief of Sir T. M. Wilson, and considered that if that gentleman wanted reliel he should apply to the house in a proper manner, when it would be carefully and impartially cint-WerPd. •-• Mr. HENLEY considered that Sir T. M. Wilson's name ought not to have been introduced into this de bate, but that the bill should have bceii discussed on its merits. He opposed the bill on its m,rits. An ap plication having been made by Sir T. M. Wdeon and refused by Parliament, it ought not to have been re peated in this form. Mr. NAPIER supported the 'second reading of the bill. Sir D. NORREYS said that if it hai rot been f .r Hampstead Heath this disewsion would rot have t tken pace. The power of purltarn-mt ha l been brought to bear cn an individual—(no, I.lo—to deprive hlrn of the rights he would have been permitted to enjoy had it not been for his misfortune in possestAng a, property that the people of London coveted and wished to obtain on its own terms. (Hear, hear, and No, no). It was non sense to talk about enclosing Ila , upstead Heath. If parliament proposed it or attempted to SAnction it the noble lord (Lord R. Gro tvenor) would be found fraternising with his Hyde Pork unrl , 4 and coming to that house in connexion with the right ,hou baronet the member for Marylebone with hi; represertt'v.l councils and Sunday bands, and the other hon. ute-mber for Middlesex heading the brewers (loughter) to intim d the members of that Ulnae.

Bertolacci, as developed by the evidence , adduced before them, does mot appear to require the interfer ence of the House.

By advise s from Ilamburg the price of gold is 4224 per mark, and the abort gold onLonden is 13.4rper U. sterling. Standard gold ra ., the English Mint price is therefore about -10ths er .cent. dearer inHambYorurg k on than. in London. T h e cour p se of exchange at New London for bills at 60 dad's' sight is 109 per cent. which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is slightly in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of nterest, the pre sent rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation o gold from the Unittd States. een all scl. vre, last K at pts, 'ern [our ;hts 31 i 44i ,i, 77 25 50 50 50 98 9
