...4 , 'N MONEY MARKET AND COMT&E,CI "iL INTELLIGENCE CITY, Two O'CLOCK. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there was a moderate demand at fully Monday's cur rency. The sales were 5,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken for export. In the Railway Share Market yesterday afternoon Bristol and Exeter were dealt in at 91A ; Caledonian, 371, , 1, and North Eastern Berwick., 231. The silver market continues in a very quiet state, pending further aclvicea from India and China, but the quotations are tolerably steady. The current prices of bullion are :—Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. standard ; doubloons, Spanish, 78s. per oz. ; ditto, South American, 7Gs. Gd. per oz. ; United States' gold coin, 765. 2d. per oz. ; bar silver, ss. id. per oz. standard ; and five-franc pieces, 4s. 1.14 d. per oz. Moderate purchases are still made on the Continent, but the remittances of gold from this side in payment are not very im portant. A fair proportion of the weekly supplies of Californian gold is now taken into the Bank, and yesterday about 70,0001. of the quantity re ceived by the Arabia on Monday was added to stock of the precious metals in Threadneedle-street. The Directors of the Canada Land Company have issued a satisfactory statement of their affairs from the Ist January to the 29th May last. From this it appears that during this period 30,613 acres have been leased and sold in the colony, against 5,742 acres at the corresponding period of last year. The particulars of leaseholds converted into free holds is equally encouraging, and the result is an increase in the receipts of 10,838 1 ., compared with those of 1856. There is temporarily rather more activity in the general demand for discounts, which, in the ab sence of increased animation in trade on specula tive business, can only be ascribed to the revenue collections. These are generally made with greater vigour at this period of the year, when the divi dend payments are approaching, and in the pre sent sensitive condition of the Money market the effect of any increased pressure is at once apparent. Full rates are, consequently, exacted by the bill brokers and others, but many are still confident of another decline in the value of money, and to morrow a great deal of anxiety Will no doubt be shown to ascertain the result of the Bank " par lour" meeting, although at present no immediate alteration is anticipated. The City of Washington, from the United States, brings about 22,513/. in specie. The market for public stocks remains in the same dull state which has characterised it fur some days past, and there is really no feature re quiring special comment. The public refrain from investing, although the Reduced at their present price are cheap, and speculation, at this advanced period of the account is completely at a stand. Consuls have been 931- 1 all the morning,"and for the opirning they are officially marked 932. The New 3 per Cents. are 92k to 93, and the Reduced 92k 93. Exchequer Bills are 4s. discount, and India Bonds under 1,0001., is. discount. In Foreign Stocks the dealings are very limited. Turkish 6 per Cents. are marked 96, and the Four per Cents. remain at nominal prices. Spanish 3 per Cents. are 42 to 421, Russian 5 per Cents. 110, Equador New Consolidated 14, and Dutch 4 per Cents. 972. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 ; Mexican, 224 3 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 77 79 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 53 55 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 46 47 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ; ditto 41 per Cents., --; Spanish 3 per Cents., 411 21; ditto Deferred, 25i G ; ditto Certificates, 62 ; ditto Passive, 5 6. An extremely limited business has been done in Railway Shares, but in one or two instances a slight improvement has taken place. Bristol and Exeter, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and South-Eastern advanced 55., and Great Northern and Great Western, 10s.. Caledonian have de clined 55 . ., and North-Western and North-Eastern York 10s. The French Canadian and East Indian lines were moderately dealt in, at yesterday's rates. Minings were neglected, no 'business having been reported in them. Joint-Stock Bank Shares were very inactive. Ottoman Bank, South Australia, and Union of London, brought previous prices. The Miscellaneous Shares show no variation in prices. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official Listi) Business done. 3 per Ccnt. Reduced Annuities New 3 per Cent.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's pin, a miracle of Science and never flang remedy for Liver and Stomach Complaints.—EdwardZobertson, of John-street, Bristol, in a letter to Professor Holloway, respectfully informs him, that he suffered for many years with a disease of the liver and stomach, until his constitution became so enfeebled and debilitated that he was entirely confined to his room.

IMPERIAI. PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF CODSIT.NS — (This Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were severally read a third time and passed :—Thyth and Tyne Railway Bill, Shrews bury Gas Bill. The following were further considered and ordered to be read a third time :—Bristol, South Wales, and Southampton Union Railway, Great Southern and Western Extension Railway, and West Somerset Railway Bills. Westminster Improvements (No. 3) bill was read a second time. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented in favour of Mr. Headlam's Medical bill, and also from a number of literary and scientific institutions in favour of the bill before the house, exempting such institutions from the payment of rates and taxes. liOCHDALE ELECTION. -----__ The members appointed to try the merits of the peti tion against the return of the sitting member were called to the table and sworn. The committee was ordered to meet to•morrow at 11 o'clock. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. The members appointeci To try the merits of the Cam bridge petition were sworn. JUDGMENTS EXECUTION The house then went into committee on this bill. Colonel FRENCH said, as a number of Irish mem bers were now in attendance on Lird Palmerston, on the subject of tenant right, he trusted the hon. member for Ayr would, therefore, postpone the further progress of this bill until after the other orders of the day. That he might be in order, he begged to move that the chair man report progress. Mr. CRAUFORD could not assent to the request of the hon. member. If the course pointed out was adopted, it would most likely endanger the passing of the bill during the present session. Mr. AYRTON—If sach an eventuality should arise, it would not be regarded as a national.calamity. He thought, as no member of the Government was present to throw light upon some legal doubts that might arise during the committee, the farther progress of the bill should be postponed. The committee then divided, when there appeared— For reporting progress 3l Against it 93 Majority — 62 Mr. A. STAFFORD objected to proceeding with the bill in the absence of the hon. gentleman the Attorney- General for Ireland. _ _ _ Mr. MASSEY said the principle of the bill had so often been discussed that he thought hon. members were sufficiently acquainted with the bill to proceed with its committal. The hon. gentleman the Lord Advocate had expressed his intention of being present, and, no doubt, he would shortly be in his place. Mr. NAPIER thought that if the present measure was passed it would become inoperative, and therefore to waste time :in its discussion was a useless waste of time. _ _ _ After a short discussion, in which Mr. S. Fitzgerald, the Lord Advocate, and Mr. Bland took part, Colonel FRENCH moved the postponement of the consideratio❑ of clause 7. Mr. PACKE moved that the chairman do leave the chair. The committee divided on the latter motion, when there appeared— ___ Ayes Noes Majority ... 73 ". 103 Colonel FRENCH said as the last division had been so close, he trusted the hon. gentleman the member for Ayr would not persevere in forcing the bill on. He, therefore, moved that the chairman report progress. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL trusted the hon. gen tleman would not persevere in pressing his motion to a division. (Hear.) The principle of the bill tkat English judgments should have effect in Ireland, and Irish judgments in England, was assented to by nearly all parties, and he thought that the two principles should be kept intact ; and if it was sought by the present bill to amalgamate the two, he should be the last person to support it. The bill did not contain such a provision, and, therefore, he trusted the house would proceed with it. [LEFT SITTING.] NEWCASTLE RACES.—(This Day.) (BY BLEOTRIC TELECiRAPB.) LATEST BETTING.

SOCISTY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF ARTS, MANUFACTURES, AND COMMERCE. The 103 a anniversary dinner of this society was held yesterday at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham. Lord Stanley, M.P., presided. After the usual loyal toasts had been drunk, Lord STANLEY proposed the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce." Ms lord ship gave a history of the society from the year 1753 to the present day. It was not the time or place to discuss philosophical questions, but he could not help observing that progress consisted in dis severance, or in what was called diffeientialism. That which was once a sole study had been sepa rated and had blanched out into many subjects of study. The noble lord then illustrated this view by examples, and applied his argument to the So ciety of Arts by pointing out how from time to time different branches of science and art had been separated from the original institution, and had established themselves as distinct societies, But the duties of the parent society had not diminished, the number of members was above 2,000, and the society was not less vigorous than formerly. They had not obstinately adhered to old and obsolete ways, but had adapted themselves to thp and improved improved system of the day. veil) been drunk, the meetir— J . The toist having Col.

TIIE ROYAL BRITISH BANS.-THE LAST EXAMINATION MEETING. To-day having been appointed for the last examina tion of the directors, the court was crowded, in the ex pectation that they would all be present, but they did not appear at the commencement of the proceedings. Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, said that the last meeting took place on the 17th April, and it was then stated that the balance-sheet would bo completed in 10 days, but two months, however, had since transpired, but no accounts had yet been filed ; in fact, no further advance had been made in the matter. The learned counsel, Mr. Ilciddlestone, appeared for Mr. Stapleton, and the other directors were also reprei , ented, and it would be for each of them to give an explanation why they had not fulfilled their obligations for which they had bad abundant opportunity. Mr. Huddlestone then addressed the Court at great length on the part of Mr. Stapleton, and urged that it would be exceedingly unfair to call on llim to file any balance sheet pending the very serious proceedings which had been taken against the directors, besides which Mr. Stapleton ought not to be called upon to swear to an account consisting of 400 pages and several thousand folios without having examined the accounts with great care, as he had not had the assistance he had a right to receive from the other directors who were to join burn in it; he therefore suggested that the examination should be adjourned sine die. Mr. Linklater opposed an adjournment sine die, and contended that according to law the directors were bound to file the balance-sheet as in any other bank ruptcy, but with reference to what use would be made of it he was not prepared to say, but the Attorney- General had permitted him to refrain from taking any further examination while the directors were under the charge preferred against them ; but he could not say what would be done with respect to those already taken. Several gentlemen spoke on behalf of the other directors. His Honour said that he must administer the law as he found it, and call on the directors to file their balance-sheets ; and after a long discussion he ordered them to be filed on or before the Ist September, and the adjourned meeting was appointed for the 23d of the same month. The dividend meeting was adjourned till the latter date. There are funds at present in hand to pay le. in the pound. . . . . Mr. Linklater said that all the directors but one had been arrested (not alluding to Mr. Cameron, who left France this morning, and would be here to-day). POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) SOUTHWARK. HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND A SSAULT. —Job n Harring ton, a smart looking young fellow, was charged with assaulting Henry Fagan, and robbing him of 35., under the following daring circumstances : The prosecutor, a seafaring man, residing at No. 1, Adams place, High-street. Southwark, said that on the afternoon of the 4th inst., he was with his sister at an oyster stall, in Mint-street, and while conveying an oyster to his mouth, the prisoner and another came run ning against him, and pushed him on the grou'nd. He got up and pulled his jacket off to guard himself against the ruffianly land-sharks, when he was pushed down again, and fell with his head against the kerb stone. He then became insensible, and on his recovery, he found his trousers torn, and the pocket containing 3s. gone. His head at that time was much injured, and his shirt and clothes were covered with blood. The prisoner contrived to make his escape, and he saw no thing more of him until the previous night, when he met him in the Borough, and gave him into custody. Witness was positive that the prisoner was the man who knocked him on the kerb stone, Sarah Ann Fagan, sister to last witness, said that she saw her brother pushed down by the prisoner and an other man, and as soon as he got up to proteot himself the prisoner and his companion knocked him down, and while he was insensible the prisoner tore his trousers and pulled his pockets out. She called out for assistance and attempted to secure the prisoner, but he made his escape. Police-const•lble 106 M said he was on duty near Mint street on the afternoon in question, when he heard a fe male calling out " Police; and on going to the spot he saw the prisoner running towards him, pursued by last witness, who told him he had robbed her brother. Wit ness took hold of him with the view of taking him into custody, but a mob surrounded him and rescued the pri soner from his custody. The prisoner denied the charge, and said the witnesses were mistaken as to his identity. Tho Magistrate, however, committed him for trial. MARLBOROUGH STREET. WATCH RO;BEEYI; A PußLic-HOUSE.--Rachel Wil- liamEcand Frances Oker, two well-known thieves, were charged before Mr. Beadon, with stealing a silver watch, the property of George John Warren, a very simple looking young fellow, who stated that about 1 o'clock this morning be was in the Haymarket, when the pri soners came up to him and asked him to treat them. He took them into the Opera Tavern and called for some ale, and while they were drinking it the prisoners " fondled" him about in a very wrong way. After drinking the ale the prisoners suddenly recollected they had a friend to meet, and hurriedly left the place. As soon as they were gone he felft in his waistcoat pocket, and was astonished to find that his watch, worth 81., was gone also, having been broken from the guard. He imme diately went in pursuit of the prisoners, and came up with them at the top of the street, when he gave them into custody. The watch had not been found, but a part of the silver bow was discovered lying on the floor close by where the prisoners were standing. The prisoners denied the charge, and said there was another woman with the prisoner, who was "very sweet" upon her, and she no doubt was the thief who had got the watch. Mr. Beadon said there was not sufficient evidence to warrant him in detaining the prisoners, who were there fore discharged. THAMES. A NOTORIOUS SHOPLIFTER CONVICTED. —Ellyn Mur phy, an Irish woman, was brought before Mr. ~!.eife charged with stealing 33 yards of gingham, value 17s. Mr. H. Longhurst, assistant to Mr. Tite, a linen draper, No, 5, Northumberland-place, Cemercial-road, said last evening, a few minutes after 6 o'clock, he was standing at his employer's door, when a - boy came up and asked him if he bad lost anything. He directly missed a roll of gingham, which was in the shop near the door a few minutes previously. Mr. F. Spicer, a greengrocer in the Commercial road, met the prisoner last evening in the Com mercial-road, near the corner of Nelson-street, with a roll of gingham partially concealed under her shawl. He took it from her, and asked her where she obtained it, and she said she picked it up. He sent a boy down the road to inquire of the linendrapers if they had lost anything, and detained the prisoner. He knew her to be a notorious shoplifter, and he had seen her night after night in the Commercial-road in company with two other female thhioves. The prisoner said this was her first offence, and begged for mercy. Mr. Selfe sentenced the prisoner to three months' hard labour, and complimented Mr, Spicer fur his in telligence and aotivity.

NEWLY-INVENTED JOINTS FOR WATER AND GAS-PIPES. —Last week some interesting experiments were e x hi b i t to several scientific ge n t lemen at the manufctory of Messrs. Smith and Phi lli p s, West Smithfield, t o prove the value and efficiency of the invention for uniting water and gas-pipes, by means of what is termed a molten , or ring, to supersed e the use, as at present, of lead. The advantage of this invention consists in uniting the two ends of the pipes to led oined together by placing them in a circular ring ca a clip, consisting of two b w hich the end s of the p i p es pieces united by screws, y are grasped firm l y and immovably together. A small f We bbing, cover ed with a thin layer of red lead, is --the pipes and t he clip. By these means ' , ace o — , l the enormous expense of -^ for repairs for re ~rs or half- F -- inserted betw, - leakage is totally pievenw- , lead is saved; and the field neoessa,., newing the tubes tedueed fidin days to by._ hours. The nuisance of contlntirdly palling tip the went and disturbing the traffic in the public streets has been felt by everybody, and it is no small boon to pas. Seugers in a crowded locality if by this process it can be got rid of. The expense to water and gas companies is most extravagant by the employment of the present means of fastening pipes, which after all are continually leaking; and it is sotnewlatt extraordinary that so simple have ilontrivance as Oa above should not before this been discovered and acted upon. We havebeen informed, that in several w iles of pipes have Yorkshire, been laid do \ u on this plan, bilQ o ehtitni which has proved perfectly emalbs.... • DEALT.II OF LONDON DURING THE° WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-general. ) The deaths registered in London, which in the previous week were 934, in the week that ended on Saturday (June 20th) were 987. In the ten years 1847-56 the average number of 'deaths in. the .weeks corresponding with last week was 966. But as the deaths of last week occurre I in an increased population, the average, for tae pur pose of comparison, should be raised in proportion to the increase, in which case it will beconte.lo63. Hence it appears that the deaths now returned were le4s by 76 than would have occurred if the average rate of mortality had prevailed. The births registered last week exhibit an excess of 540 over the deaths returned in the same period. The deaths referred to the zynaotie class of dis eases were in the previous week, 164 ; last week they were 197. The increase arises chiefly from diarrhma, which in the last four weeks was fatal in 17, 26, 20, and 35 cases. Two thirds of the 35 cases occurred to infants. No death is recorded in the week as caused by "English cholera," or any other description of the disease. Two children, aged 6 and 7 months died of chicken-pox in Islington. Two cases of small-pox were fatal ; one in Poplar and one in Marylebone. Both measles and diarrhoea numbered more deaths in the East districts than in the other parts of the metro polis ; the former complaint appearing to b 3 chiefly in the Shoreditch district, in Bothnal-gi een and Limehouse. Hooping-cough is now slightly on the decline ; 41 children (a smaller number than has been obtained for a long period) died of it last week. The iilness of a child who died of measles and typhoid fever was supposed by its lather to have been caused by eating some pork in an un sound state. Four children died of syphilitic dis ease ; one person of ischuria, ono of diabetes, one of elephantiasis ; 3 persons were the victims of in intemperance, ,besides 4 whose deaths are assigned to delirium tremens. Five nonagenarians died in the week, all, with one exception, women and widows. One was 92 years of age, one 94, one 95, and two had attained the age of 96. Last week the births of 764 boys and 763 girls, in all 1,572 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847.56 the average number was 1,465. • At the Royal. Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 22 . 882 in. The mean reading of Thursday was 30'015 inches. The highest reading was 30.09 in. at the beginning of the week. The mean temperature of the week was 60.3 deg., which is 1 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest reading of the thermometer in the shade was 84 deg. on Saturday ; and the mean temperature of the same day was 69.1 deg., which is 9.3 deg. above the average. The lowest reading was 38.8 on Sunday (the 14th) •; and the range of the week was 45.2 deg. The highest reading of a thermometer in the sun was obtained on Friday, and was 106 deg. The mean dew-point temperature was 51 . 2 deg., and the difference be tween this and the mean air temperature was 9.1 deg. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 62/ deg. The temperature of the river rose to 64/ deg. Saturday. The wind, which was in the south-east and east on Sunday and Mon day, changed to north-east, and continued in that direction till Friday at noon, after which it blew from the east.

There has not been an active demand for cloths this morning, but the easier rates of discount are producing a good feeling in the market, and the increased cost of cotton has induced sellers to ask rather higher rates. For shirtings an advance of 10. to 3d. per piece has been demanded over the rates of last Tuesday, and though this has had the effect of checking operations, sellers are content to wait a little, now that stocks have been so consi derably lightened by the business of the past fortnight. Longcloths and T-cloths continue in fair request, with slight advance, owing in a measure to the short time movement, which has affected this class of goods more favourably than most others. The yarn-market has been firmer, and in some cases sellers report an improvement of id. per pound. Some descriptions of 40's mule are -id. to id. higher. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" The market continues in much the same position as re ported last week. There is still a fair business doing in longcloths and T-cloths at gradually har dening rates, but for nearly all other kinds the market is comparatively quiet, as manufacturers generally are asking an advance proportionate to that on cotton, w hich is as yet conceded by buyers in only very few instances, and for small quan tities." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co., report : "There is a fair steady business doing in our mar ket, but without much animation. Prices are generally the same as last week." THE VICTORIA CROSS.
