MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. ~~- CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed With a hardening tendency, and pric. s of Americans Were id. per lb. dearer, but most of the other de scriptions were unaltered in value. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales ; 3,000 of which were taken by the exporters, and 2,000 by the specula tors. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices are at a slight decline, compared with Tuesday's rates. The continued dearness of money, and the diffi culty found by weak firms in procuring accommo dation when employment for capital on first-rate security is easily secured, occasionally lead to a commercial failure, and during the current week two or three small houses have succumbed. With one exception, however, the aggregate amount in volved is not very serious, and the suspensions are not traceable to any inherent unsoundness of trade, but rather to past losses, or undue speculation. Even those who exercise the greatest prudence have in many cases suffered from the prolonged stringency, and it is therefore hoped, that the anticipations of an easier money market, now ee confidently expressed, may prove correct. The suspension was reported yesterday afternoon of Messrs. Evans, Hoare, and Co., who were engaged ati shippers of wines, spirits, to Australia. The assets, which chiefly consist of these articles, yet to be realised in the colony, are not considered likely to represent a very satisfactory total, while the liabilities are put down at 200,0001. Active purchases of silver are being made on the Continent for English houses, and it is probable that the exports on the 20th will exceed the amount originally estimated. The Bank of England Directors have made no alteration in the minimum rate of interest and dis count, and the opinion we formed yesterday, based On the recent returns, has proved correct. That an improvement will take place before long, is very probable, but the reserve of notes is too low, and the stock of other securities too large, to warrant the authorities in resorting to any immediate Measures of relief. An alteration in the rate at Paris is spoken of, and, if this were effec ted, it would perhaps accelerate a movement here. The demand for money is quieter, but no reduction in the terms can be reported. The market for English Stocks has exhibited a very inactive appearance, and there is almost an entire absence of business. During the earlier Part of the day only two or three bargains were recorded, but prices nevertheless keep very firm, and the tendency is rather favourable. Indeed it could hardly be otherwise, considering the diminished inquiry for money, the sales of gold to the Bank, and the prospect of favourable returns from the Bank of France and the Bank of England.

Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and his Majesty, whose Stan dard is the Sun, the Sacred, the August, the Great Mo narch, the absolute King of Kings of all the States of Persia, being both equally and sincerely animated by a desire to put a stop to the evils of a war which is con trary to their friendly wishes and dispositi , n3s, and to re establish on a solid basis the relations of amity which had so long existed between t he two exalted States, by means of a peace calculated for their mutual advantage and proff - , Cave appointed as their Plenipotentiaries, for carrying into effect this desired object, the following, that IS 10 say— Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Right IL la. Henry Richer] Charles, Baron Cooley, a peer cf the United Kingdom, a member of her Majesty's Most Hon. Privy Courcil, Knight Grand Cro-s of the Most Hon.

From the day of the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty there shall be perpetual peace and friendship between her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, on the one part, and his Majesty the Shah of Persia on the other, as like wise between their respective successors, dominione, and subjects. 11. Peace being happily concluded between their said Majesties, it is hereby agreed that the forces of her Majesty the Qat en shall evacuate the Persian territory, subject to conditions and stipulations hereafter specified. 111. The high contracting parties stipulate that all prisoners taken during . the war by either belligerent shall be immediately liberated. IV, His Majesty the Sbah of Persia engages, imme diately on the exchange of the ratifications of this treaty, to publish a fill and complete amnesty, absolving all Persian subjects who may have in any way been compro mised by their intercourse with the British forces during the war, from any responsibility of the'r conduct in that respect, so that no persons, of whatever degree, shall be exposed to vexation, persecution, or punishment, on that account. V. his Majesty the Shah of Persia engages further to take immediate measures for withdrawing from the territory and city of Herat, and from every other part of Affghanistan, the Persian troops and authorities now stationed therein; such withdrawal to be effected with in three months from the date of the exchange of the ratifications of this treaty. VI. His Majesty the Shah of Persia agrees to relin quish all claims to sovereignty over the territory and city of Herat and the countries of Affghanistan, and never to dernarel from the chiefs of Herat, or of the countries of Affgbanistan, any marks of obedience, such as the coinage, or " khotbeh," or tribute. His Majesty fur ther engages to abstain hereafter from all interference with the internal affairs of Affgbanistan. His Majesty promise, to recognise the independence of Herat, and of the whole of Affghanistan, and never to attempt to inter fere with the independence of those States. In case of differences arising between the Government of Persia and the countries of Herat and Affghanistan, the Persian Government engages to refer them for adjustment to the friendly offices cf the British Government, and not to take arms unless those friendly offices fail of effect. The British Government, on their part, engage at all times to exert their influence with the State of Affghanistan, to prevent any cause of umbrage being given by them, or by any of them, to the Persian Government ; and the British Government, when appealed to by the Per sian Government, in the event of difficulties arising, will use their best endeavours to compose such differences in a manner just and honourable to Persia. . VII. In case of any violation of the Persian frontier by any of the States referred to above, the Persian Go vernment shall have the right, if due satisfaction is not given, to undertake military operations for the repres sion and punishment of the aggressors ; but it is dis tinctly uaderstood and agreed to that any military force of the Shah which may cross the frontier for the above mentioned purpose, shall retire within its own territory as soon as its object is accomplished, and that the exer cise of the above-mentioned right is not to be made a pretext for the permanent occupation by Persia, or for the annexation to the Persian dominions of any town or portion of the said States. VIII. The Persian Government engages to set at liberty without ransom, immediately after the exchange of the ratifications of this treaty, all prisoners taken during the operations of the Persian troops in Affghanistan, and all Affgbans who may be detained either as hostages or as csptis es on political grounds in any part of the Persian dominions shall, in like manner, be set free ; provided that the Affghans, on their part, set at liberty, without ransom, the Persian prisoners and cap tives who are in the power of the Affgbans. Commis sioners on the part of the two powers shall, if necessary, be named to carry out the provisions of this article. IX. The high contracting parties engage that, in the establishment and recognition of consuls-general, consuls, vice-consuls, and consular agent, each shall be placed in the dominions of the other on the footing of the most fa voured nation; and that the treatment of their respective subjects, and their trade, shall also in every respect be placed on the footing of the treatment of the subjects and commerce of the most favoured nation. X. Immediately after the ratifications of this treaty have been exchanged, the British Mission shall return to Tehran, when the Persian Government agrees to re ceive it with the apologies and ceremonies specified in the separate note signed this day by the plenipotenti aries of the high contracting parties. XI. The Persian Government engages within three months after the return of the British mission to Tehran to appoint a commissioner, who, in conjunction with a commissioner tube appointed by the British Government shall examine into and decide upon the pecuniary claims of all British subjects upon the Government ;of Persia, and shall pay such of those claims as may be pronounced just, either in one sum or by instalments, within a period not exceeding one year from the date of the award of the commissioners. And the same commissioners shah examine into and decide upon the claims on the Per• sian Government of all Persian subjects, or the subjects of other powers, who, up to the period of the departure of the British mission from Tehran, were under British protection, which they have not since renounced. XII• Saving the provisions in the latter part of the preceding article, the British Government will renounr 3 the right of protecting hereefter any Persien subjece not actually in the employment of the British mission, or of British consul::-general, consuls, vice-consuls, or consular agents, provided that such right is accorded to, or exercised by, any other foreign Powers ; but in this, as in all other !Tepees, the British Government re quires, and the Persian Government engages, that the same privileges and immunities shall in Persia be con ferred upon, and shall be enjoyed by, the British Govern ment, its servants and its subjects, and that the same re spect and consideration shall be shown for them, and shall be enjoyed by them, as are conferred upon and en joyed by, and shown to, the most favoured foreign Go vernmene, its servants and its subjects. XIII. The high contracting parties hereby renew the agreement entered into by them in the month of August, 1851 (Sbawal 1267), for the suppression of the slave trade iu the Persian Gulf, and engage further that the said agreement shall continue in force after the date at which it expires ; that ie,..after the month of August, 1862, for the further space of ten years, and for so long after wards as neither of the high contracting parties shall, by a formal declaration, annul it ; such declaration not to take effect until one year after it is made.

The following communication was received by Sir R. W. Carden from an ex ensive house in the north of England, and by him transmitted to the Com missioner of the City Police : " Leeds. " R. W. Carden, Esq. "D.ar S:r,—We take the liberty of addressing you in your magisterial capacity, and of enclosing a circular we have received,.addm•sed to a clerk who has lately been dismissed from our service, having been guilty of pecalation in his cash account. We have reason to believe he has been engaged in ex tensive betting op-rations, and the enclosed circular discloses the snare into which it is very likely he has fallen. . . " You are no doubt aware of the existence of betting homes' of this character, and the matter may be nothing new to you ; but it occurs to us that the circular may be useful to you as a magis trate. " We remain, &c. ' ' ' CIRCULAR. " ' Dear S'r,—Although we have not the pleasure of registering your name among the numerous list of subscribers for the current season, we cannot for get old associations, and, with the view of resusci tating your confidence, we beg to forward you our circular, which was originally - intended only for present subscribers ; but, being anxious that you likewise should participate, we beg to say that you may with unreserved confidence act upon our re commendation, and• in proportion to the amount of your investment will be the amount we shall have the pleasure of remitting you ; and you will find that when we pledge our reputation' as to any event it may be always acted upon .as a certainty, never having failed in our promise. "'Dear Sir,—lt is seldom we have the oppor tunity of addressing you with so much confidence as on the present occasion in reference to the Derby. We stated in our circular of January last that on some of the events mentioned—viz., the Liverpool Spring Cup, the 1,000 Guineas, and the Derby, we should be enabled to pledge our reputation as to the result. In the two cases already decided your win nings must have been considerable, as we never de rioted from our advice except to hedge so much off Vedette as would make your stake safe ;' and even this we should not have done, although pru dent, perhaps, under any circumstances, but that we found by inspection Vedette was really lame. " When we sent out Tournament for the Eglin ton Stakes, and the Maid of Der went for the Liver pool Autumn Cup, we pledged our reputation the horses would win. We now do the same on the Derby with increased certainty, and adopt the same system as on those occasions. Whatever amount, therefore, you wish to be on you must re • mit at once. We pledge our reputation the horse will win. We are under the most solemn promise not to send it out in our circulars, and indeed the repeated 'forestalling' which we have experienced on past events most emphatically points to us that if we wish to study the interest of our subscribers we best consult it by adopting this course. " We embrace, then, th earliest moment of apprising you, and trust you will not lose an hour in sending the amount you wish invested. We can strongly recommend you to send a handsome sum ; the odds will be very good, and we also pledge ourselves to remit to you on the Monday following the race. On receipt of remittance it will be duly acknowledged and the odds elven. " We will now only say we trust that you have sufficient confidence in us to believe that our only desire is to benefit, while we at the same time in crease our own reputation. " Pray do not lose a moment, as one day may make a material difference in the odds to be ob- tained. " Orders not for less than 51., nor exceeding 20/., may be made payable to Henry Howard, Post-office, Coventry-street, Soho. Notes may be enclosed with safety. " c H. AND C." 99 8 CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOP or NORWICH, THIS DAT.—Tbis morning the Hon. and Rev.

CRICKET. —MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND AGAINST THE COUNTY OF KENT.—This match was concluded at Lord's yesterday, and proved a very dose one, the Mary lebone Club and Ground winning by five runs only. DIEU, FUGACES !—People remark upon Duke Con stantine's having paid us English a flying visit. Such comments are unkind. It is not easy for Russians to get rid of their habit throughout the war.—Punch. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the Right Hon. Sir Lawrence Peel was sworn in a director of the Rut India Company, and took his seat at the board accordingly. Lieut.-General Sir James Outr K.C.8., wag a ppointed, on the 3d inst., a provisional member of the Council of India. THE EXHIBITION OF ART TBRA3QRRS• — On Tuesday there was by no means a good attendance, the numbers returned being as follows : Almiegions by season ticket, 984 ; on payment of ls. eaci, 4,889 ; total, 5,873.

Tax CROPS.—The Derbyshire Mercury says :—The crops in the neighbourhood of Felper present a most luxuriant appearance. There has been a great change in the face of the country during the last ten days. The wheats, we are glad to say, look extremely well. Grass is plentiful. As to garden prodsce, we know not the time when potatoes, tke cottager's friend, showed so well. _ _ _ _ FAMILY JEWELS.—On Tuesday the Lord Chancellor of Ireland gave judgment in the somewhat curious case of "Berry v. Berry," relating to family jewel. The plaintiff, Mrs. Berry, mother of the late John AL. Berry, Eiq , of the county of Westmeath, filed a petition, pray ing that certain jewel.; given by her son on his marriage, might be returned by his widow. They were alleged to be worth from 8,000/. to 9,000/. The Lord Chancellor 5 7 decided in favour of the widow, who is the daughter o" ••I the Master of the Roll'. A CASE FOR SOLOEION.—Two colts were last year put into a park on a farm in the Bayne by different owners, which appear to have shown remarkable similarity in shape, size, colour, &I. One died, as bad luck would have it, an.l both the owners claimed the remaining animal, maintaining their rights so firmly on either side that the result is a complicated law-suit. A proof was recently taken in the case in the Court House here, and the animal was brought into Bariff and stabled at the Royal Oak that it might be examined by the witnesses ere they were put on oath as to its identity.—Banffshire Journal. METROPOLITAN FREE HOSPITAL.—The anniversary festival of this most excellent institution, situated in Devonshire -square, Bishopsgate—a most populous dis trict, abounding with the poorer members of the com munity—was celebrated by an extremely elegant dinner at the London Tavern last evening.

Lord John Russell, M.P., who was supported by Mr. Roupele M.P., Mr. White, M.P., the Princes of Oude and suite, Captain Sands and officers of the American vessel Susquehanna, and about 160 friends of the institution. The subscriptions of the evening amounted to o!ose upon 1,4001. ROBBERY ca` A PRIESTS DWELLING.—The dwelling lug house of the Rev.

The chair was taken by the president of the col lege, Lord Brougham. After a few introductory remarks from the chair man, Mr. R. MARTINEAU moved the following resolu tion "That this meeting, regarding with great satisfaction the intention of the Government to grant to the University of London a nev charter which will incorf.orate the graduates, but under standing that the senate propose that collegiate education shall no longer be nec,-ssary f r candi dates for degrees in ar . s and laws, desires to ex press its disapproval of the proposed change, as one likely to be injurious to a cause of regular and systematic education, and as not only lowering the value, but altering the very meaning, of an Eng lish university degree." Mr. JESSELL seconded the resolution. Mr. GROTE said, as a member of the council of that college, and as a member of the senate of the University, he felt deep interest in both, and he trusted thit that interest would never be dimi nished. The only part of the resolution in which he could concur was that which expressed satisfac- Con at " the intention of the Government to grant to the University of London a new charter which will incorporate the graduates." Dr. FOSTER felt bound to acknowledge that Mr. Grote had made untiring efforts in the college to promote the interests and wishes of the graduat, s. (Hear.) The senate, as a body, had, however, made no concessions which were not extorted from it, and when it had made any it pursued a course which tended to deprive them' of all value. (Hear.) Dr. WILLIAmsoN thought there was a little irri tation on the part of the graduates against the senate, which it was desirable should cease. (Hear, hear.) The voice which the graduates would have in the convocation would, in his, opinion, prevent any abuse. The CHAIRMAN suggested that, with a view to coming to a decision on the question, Mr. Grote should move the following amendment :—" That this meeting regards with great satisfaction the in tention of the Government to grant to the Univer sity of London a new charter, which will incorpo rate the graduates," omitting all the words which followed in the ori g inal resolution. Mr. GROTE said he would adopt his lordship's suggestion. On the question being put, only two hands were held up for the amendment, and the original reso lution was adopted. On the motion of Mr. J. TAYLOR, seconded by Mr. W. FOWLER, it was resolved, " That Univer sity College having been pointed out in 1835, by the address of the House of Commons to the Crown, as the future University of London, and having cheerfully waived its claims to that high dignity in order to promote the public welfare, has a peculiar right to object to a change which will destroy the essential character of that university constitution on the faith of which it consented to surrender its position." On the motion of Mr. OSLER, seconded by Mr. YATES, it was further resolved, "That the council of University College be requested to communicate with the senate of the University of London, and with the Home-office, and to take such steps as will, in their opinion, give the greatest weight to the views of the meeting, as expressed in the above resolution." The meeting then separated. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE.

Last night we read the paper written by the Englisi Minister Plenipotentiary, and were mush surprised the rude, unmeaning, disgusting, and insolent tone and purport. The 1i tter he before wrote was also in . pertinent. We have also heard that, in his own house, h is constantly speaking disrespectfully of us and of you but we never believed ; now, however, he has introdace it in an official letter. We are, therefore, convinced Oa, this man, Mr. Murray, is stupid, ignorant, and insane who has the audacity, and impudence to insult ev , n Kings ! From the time of Shah Sultan Hossein (wilt n Persia was in its most disorganised state, and thltilig the last fourteen years of his life, when by serious illness he was izotpacitated far business) up to the preert,t time, no disrespect towards the Sovereign has been tole. rated, either from the Government or its agent. What has happened now, that this foolish Minister Plenipoter- Cary acts with such temerity ? It appears that our friendly missions are not acquainted with the wordii g of that document ; give it now to Meerza Abbas an t Meerza Malcum, that they may take and duly explain it to the French Minister and Hyder Effendi, that they may see how improperly he has written. Since la't night till now our time has been passed in vexation. IVe now command ydu, in order that you may yourself know, awl also acquaint the missions, that until the Queen of Eng land herself makes us a suitable apology for the insolence of her Euvoy, we will never receive back this her foolish Minister, who is a simpleton, nor accept from her Go vernment any other Minister. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE. The completion of 1,250 miles (one-half) of the cable for the Submarine Atlantic Telegraph by Messrs. Newell and Co. was celebrated at their works, Birkenhead, yesterday, by a dinner given to about GOO of their workmen, with their wives and families. Messrs. Newall's contract has been exe cuted with great speed and punctuality. On the 19th Nov. last they tendered either for half or the whole of the cable, to be finished by the 30th June. The tender for the half was accepted in the Decem ber following, and Messrs. Newell, who had taken one of the transit sheds attached to the Birkenh'a Docks, at once set to work to provide the a ecessary machinery, all of which had to be created for the occasion. The wire was supplied to Messrs. Newall by their own wire -drawers, Messrs. R. Johnson and Co., of Manchester, who completed their task by the Ist of June. Messrs. Newall commenced spinning the cable on the 18th Feb., and proceeded without interruption until Monday last, the Bth June, when 1,250 miles (one•half of the whole cable) were completed. The cable consists of a strand of copper wire covered three times with gutta percha. The gutta-percha is sewed from end to end with spun yarn, and covered with 18 strands of seven wires each. There are thus 25,000 miles of strand, composed of seven times that quantity of wire, being a total of 175,000 miles of wire. The process of spinning occupied 80 days, 2,500 miles of wire being used per day, and 350 hands being employed. The spun yarn was also made by Messrs. Newall upon the same premises, 100 machines for this purpose being ranged in one of the upper floors of the works. The cable is now lying in four huge coils (each 28 feet in diameter and 8 feet higb), all ready for Leing shipped. It will be transferred, probably to-day, into small vessels, and thence on board the Niagara, which is expected to arrive at the mouth of the river early next week. The weight of the cable averages one ton per mile ; and it is to be laid by the process patented by Mr. Newall, and adopted in the Black Sea (passing the wire through a hol low cone) which prevents twisting. The festivities yesterlay were presided over by Mr. Gordon, the manager of the works, and ware witnessed by a large number of gentlemen, including Messrs. Newall, Pickering, C. Liddell, Whitehouse, R. Griffith, R. S. Maxwell, &c. Among the toasts were " the President and People of the United States," " the Atlantic Telegraph Company," "R. S. Newall and C 0.," "Messrs. Whitehouse, Bright, and Reid," " the Managers and Foremen," " Messes. Johnson and C 0.," " the Gutta Percha Company," and " the Mayor and Corporation of Liverpool." Messrs. Newall have contracted to lay down 1,000 miles of wire (part of the Indian Tele graph line) between Cagliari and Malta and Corfu. The tedious process of shipping the 1,000 miles of coil which have been manufactured at East Greenwich was to have commenced yesterday ; but owing to the amount of work to be done before the lofty hold of the Agamemnon is fitted to receive it, the shipment is not likely to begin before Monday next. Every exertion is being used to get matters in as forward a train as possible ; but, nevertheless, the day we have mentioned will be the earliest on which the cable layers can commence operations. The Agamemnon has been alongside Glasse and Elliot's wharf for some days. She looks taut awl trim enough, though widely different from her Black Sea days, when her huge spars overlopped the fleet as she led the port line at 12 miles an hour, or threaded her way among a mass of transport; like a yacht. At present she has a mild half-pay look, which even the sentry at her gangways can not wholly banish. Her ports are open, but only for the purpose of ventilation, as not a gun is on board. At present she is very much down by th ) stern ; but the cable being stowed forward will bring her on an even keel. It will make a differ ence of 4 feet in her present trim. A small engine is being fitted to wind the coil on board ; and the whole operation of shipping will occupy, it is calculated, at least six weeks. The two in-shore ends are nearly finished, and the centrepiece of steel wire cable is progressing rapidly. Though both sq Greenwich and at Birkenhead the manufacture will continue at one end while the other is being shipped, it is not expected that more than about 2,400 milt will be completed in all. This will allow between 600 and 700 miles for " slack" in paying -out. POST-OFFICE NOTICES. AUSTRALIAN MAILS. There will be no despatch of Australian mails this‘ month via Southampton or via Marseilles, as the next mails for Australia will. not be forwarded IT way of Egypt, but by the steamer Emeu, which vessel will sail from Liverpool direct for Australia after the arr i v al of the L o ndon night mail of the 16th inst. This arrangement only applies to the mails of the present mouth ; the route of Egypt will be reverted to in July, and the subsequent mails will be fol.- warded in accordance with the regulations already laid down. Tbose postmasters whose instructions direct them to forward letters by cross post to Liverpool, will, of course, forward in the same manner on this occ t alon any correspondence posted at their offices for Australia. The postage upon letters, newel:) . apers, and books forwarded by the Emeu, must be paid in advancel at the-same rates as if th e y w e re to be sent via Southampton. LETTERS FOR MOLDAVIA AND VirAL LACHIA. Information has been received from the Prussiln post-office that letters posted in the United King dom addressed to Botuschany, Galatz, or Jassy, in Moldavia, and Bucharest or Ibraila in Wallachia, forwarded by way of Belgrade, will in future be liable to the following combined British and foreign iates of postage, viz.: O s , Os 9d. To Botus:bany . To Bucharest and Jassy Os. ild. To Galatz and Ibraila This postage may e ither be paid in advance, or I be left to be paid on the delivery of the letters, at the option of the senders. Letters for Galatz and Ibraila, when sent via Trieste, will be c hargeable at the rate of ls, id. per half-ounce, as at present. upon letters for any other place in Moldavia or Wallachia, wri ers should specify to which of the towns mentioned above they desire that their letters should be forwarded, and the rate as far as that town must then be paid in advance.
