MONEY i% 17 /I. AND CODIWIEE,CI ETTELLIGENCF. CITY, Two o'CLocit. 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 94 ; Caledonian, 371, 1, and North Eastern Berwick, 23k. _ . The silver market continues in a very quiet state, Pending further advices from India and China, but the quotations are tolerably steady. The current Prices of bullion are :—Bar gold, 775. 9cl. per cz. standard ; doubloons, Spanish, 78s. per oz. ; ditto, South American, 765. 6d. per oz. ; United States' gold. coin, 7Gs. 20. per oz. ; bar silver, ss. ld, per oz. standard ; and five-franc pieces, 45 . 114 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 Muy last. From this it appears that during this period 30,613 acres have been leased and sold in the colony, against f►,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 10,8381., compared with these 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 loorrow 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 22,5131. in specie. The market for public stocks remains in the same dull state which has characterised it for some days past, and there is really no feature re quiring special comment. The public refrain from althoUgh the Reduced at their present pric e are cheap, and speculation, at this advanced Period of the account is completely at a stand. Consols have been 933 I all the morning, and for the opening they are officially marked 93g. The New 3 per Cents. are 92/ to 93, and the Reduced 92 11 93. Exchequer Bills are 4 s. discount, and Indi a Bonds under 1,0001., 7s. discount. In Foreign Stocks the dealings are very limited. Turkish 6 per Cents. are marked 96, and the Four Per Gents. remain at nominal prices. Spanish 3 Per Cents. are 42 to 42%, Russian 5 per Cents. 110, quador New Consolidated 14, and Dutch 4 per Cents. 974. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, ; Mexican, 22 1 3; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 77 79; ditto 3 per Cents., 53 55 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 46 47 ; 4 tlB.sian 5 per Cants., 109 111 ; ditto 41 per Cents., -; Spanish 3 per Cents., 411 21; ditto Deferred, 25 i 6i ; ditto Certificates, 6i ditto Passive, 52 6. An extremely limited business has been done in itailway Shares, but in one or two instances a !light improvement has taken place.

It appeared from the report that the directors had not succeeded in getting any modification of their charter, and were therefore still working to a disadvan tage. Owing to competition only four out of the six vessels were in commission. The directors were not enabled to pay a dividend on this occasion, but hoped at the next meeting to present a more satisfactory state anent. SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COMPANY. (MEETING. THIS DAY.) At the meeting of the South Australian Company to-day, E. Divett, Esq., M.P.,1 in the chair, a gratify ing report was presented. From the accounts it appeared that the net income of the past year was 26,607/. 7s. 6d., from which the directors now de clare a dividend of 7 per cent. per annum. The report was adopted. THE CONVICT MANSELL.—The Judges in the Court of Error, this afternoon, affirmed the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, and ordered the convict for execution at Maidstone on the 4th of July. _ ELECTION OF THE CITY SHICEIFFS.—This day a Common Hall of the Liverymen of London wag held at Guildhall for the election of sheriffs in the room of Messrs. Atechi and Ke a t s , w h ose t erm o f o ffi ce h as expired. Alderman Lawrence and Mr. W. F. Allen were elected, and severally re t urned thanks. An interesting meeting on the subject of the Isthmus of Suez is now going on at the London Tavern, and is likely to end favourably to the objects of the promoters of the Canal. NEWLY-INVENTED JOINTS FOR WATER AND GAB -PIPES. —Last week some interesting experiments were exhibited to several scientific gentlemen at the manufactory of Messrs. Smith and Phillips, West Smithfield, to prove the value and efficiency of the invention for uniting water and gas-pipes, by means of what is termed a clip, or ring, to supersede the use, as at present, of molten lead. The advantage of this invention consists in uniting the two ends of the pipes to be joined together by placing them in a circular ring called a clip, consisting of two pieces united by screws, by which the ends of the pipes are grasped firmly and immovably together. A small piece of webbing, covered with a thin layer of red lead, is inserted between the pipes and the clip. By these means leakage is totally prevented, the enormous expense of lead is saved, and the time necessary for repairs for re newing the tubes reduced from days to hours or half hours. The nuisance of continually pulling up the pave ment and disturbing the traffic in the public streets has been felt by everybody, and it is no small boon to pas. gangers in a crowded locality if by this process it can be got rid of. The expense to water and gas compani es i s most extravagant by the employment of the present means of fastening pipes, which after all are continually leaking ; and it is somewhat extraordinary that so simple a contrivance as the above should not before this have been discovered and acted upon. We have been informed, that in Halifax Yorkshire, several miles of pipes have been laid d own o n this plan, which has proved perfectly nootodul - 11 - their otors ctors )oxes can- Op on of legis - Al forth who stood votes a than —have )vern-. el,red Tal ex , r can -7s who 'hie 113 rity of )litical tined ist Re )rated. ie holi er' ex of the iple of , r form s ; ye t inately ig that elec - Ire the tea for no t to ted, s° less his e merat e some slaturo ay not n two. .e to an .ar that e Coup olation utionat )ositioa ror can expres' )ut anY vithout d. ffe sudden he frail ~ many France so long ni a 3 it pose, so rn.

COTTRT OF BANKRUPTCY. (13 , :f0r0 Couasnisioner Holroyd.) THE ROYAL BIaiLSEI BANK —THU LAST EXAMUTATION MEETING. To-day having been appointed for the last examina tion of the directx•rs, the court WA3 crowded, in the ex pectation that tboy 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 piaci' on the 17th April, and it was then stated that the ha.lance-sheet would be conap!eted in 10 days, but two m o aths, however, had since transpired, but no accounts 'a ad yet been filed ; in fact, no further advance had been made in the matter. The learned counsel, Mr. Hu ti'dleAor.e, appeared for Mr. Staplston, and the other di.7ect3rs were also represented, and it would be for eac a of them to give an explanation why they had not fulE'led their obligations for which they had had abundant opportunity. Mr. Iluddlesto. ne then addressed the Cou:t at great length on the part of Mr. Stapleton, and urged that it would be excead;ngly unfair to call on him to file any balance sheet pen dug the very serious proceedings which hal been taken a i , ,Ainst the directors, besides which Mr. Stapleton ought :cot to be called upon to swear to an account consiatin q• of 400 pages and several thousand folios without haviing examined the accounts with great care, as he had not had the assistance he had a right to receive from the ether directors who were to join him in it ; he therefore Kuggested that the examination should be adjourned sine die. _ gi Mr. Linklater 0 pposed 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 pore iitted 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 I directors. - 6 . - 97 5~ - G~ 110 -- 112 110 -- 112 # ;P 12i -- 12; pm His Honour s aid 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 23a of the same month. 70 - 72 114 -11 G The dividend meeting was adjDurned till the latter 105 - 107 100 - 102 There are fands at present in hand to pay Ir. in the 61 -- 63 10i'-- 10i pound.

The watch had nut been found, but a part of the silver bow was discovered lying on the floor close by where the prisoners were standing.

Longhurst, assistant to Mr. Tito, a linen draper, No, 5, Northumberland-place, Corn ercial-road, said last evening, a few mirm.es after 6 o'clock, he was standing at his employer's door, when a boy came up and asked him if he had lost anything. ILs 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 Gommercial read, met the prisoner last evening in the Com mercial-road, near the corner of Ntileon-street, with a roll of gingham partially conee , ded 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 linen drapers 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 lemale thhieves. 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 for his in telligence and activity.

The Archduke remained in the museum a considerable time in viewing the varied contents of the establishment. lIEALTII OF LOIVE 'ON DURING' THE wi OK. (From the Report of ah,e Registrar-General.) The deaths registeredi in London, which in the previous week were 934,, in the week that ended on Saturday (June 20t ;a) were 987. In the ten years 1847-56 the are - rage number of deaths iu the weeks correspondi og with last week was 966. But as the deaths of last week occurred in an increased population, the average, for the pur pose of comparison, she )nld be raised in proportion to the increase, in whit h case it will become 1063. Hence it appears that; the deaths nor returned were less by 76 than vv ould have occurred if the average rate of mortallj,%v had prevailed. The births registers d last week exhibit an excess of 540 over th.a deaths returned in the same period. The deaths referred t o the zymotic class of dis eases were in the previous weak, 164 ; last week* they were 197. The in crease arises chiefly from diarrhoea, which in the last four weeks was fetal 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, age d 6 aud. 7 months died of chicken-pox in Islington. Two eases of small-pox were fatal ; one in Poplar ancl one in Marylebone. Both measles and diarrhoea numbered more deaths in the E tst districts than in the other par's of the metro polis ; the former oomph tint appearing to be chiefly in the Shoreditch distr id, in Bethnal-green and Limehouse. Hooping-e nigh is now slightly on the decline ; 41 children (a smaller number than has been obtained for a lo ng period) died of it last week. The illness of a. child who died of measles and typhoid fever was supposed by its father to have been caused by ei ding some pork in au un sound state. Four children died of syphilitic dis ease ; one person of isch . uria, one of diabetes, one of elephantiasis ; 3 pereons were the victims of in intemperance, besides 4 whose deaths are assigned to delirium tremens. Five nonagenarians died in the week, all, with ou.e exception, women and widows. ne was 92 ye ars 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, we re registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847-56 the average nuns .ber 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 sat le week in 43 ye: irs (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest reading of the thermometer in the shade was 84 deb'. 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 Sun day (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 d eg. 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 621 deg. The temperature of the river rose to 64.7 deg. Sat urday. 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. The amount of rain in the week was 0.85 in., all of which fell on Saturday. A violent thunder storm occurred at 40 minutes past 12 on the morniug of that day ; and rain fell to the amount of 5-tenths of an inch within ten minutes.

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 shirtiugs an advance of 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 thst 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, which 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.", 4 0; ,1 f l . l ti 4 2 9 ist 44. SUN OFFICE, SeV3ll o'Clock, NEINDASTLE ItAOES.—(This Day.) (BY ELECTRIC TELE:IRAPIL) FREE HANDICAP.

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 lead 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. ROCHDALE 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 appointed to try the merits of the Cam bridge petition were sworn. JUDGMENTS EXECUTION BILL The house then went into committee on this bill. , Colonel FRENCH said, as a number of Irish mem bers were now in attendance on L , rd 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. Tbat he might be in order, he begged to move that the chair man report progress. Mr. CRAUFORD ceuld 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 paid if each au 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 Majority . Mr. A. STAFFORD objected to proceeding with the bill in the absrnce 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. Toe hon. gentleman the Lord AdvOcate had expressed his intention of being present, and, no doubt, he would shnrtly be in his place. Mr. NAPIER thought that if the present measure was passed it would become inoperative, and therefore to waste time its discussion was a useless waste of time. After a short discussion, in which Mr. S. Fitzgerald, the Lord Advocatr, and Mr. Bland took part, Cotmel FRENCH moved the postponement of the consideration of clause 7. Mr. PACKS moved that the chairman do leave the chair. The committee divided oa the latter motion, when there appeared—. Ayes Noes Majority --30 Colonel FRENCtI 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-GENELIAL trusted the hon. gen tleman would not persevere in pressing his motion to a division. (Hear.) The principle of the bill that English judgments should have effect in Ireland, and Irish judgments in England, was assented to by nearly :di partier, and be thought that the two principles should be kept intact ; and if it wad sought by the present bill to amalgamate the two, he should be the last person to support it. Tye bill . did not contain such a provision, and, therefore, he trusted the house would proceed with it. Mr. AY RTON suggested that the bill should be com mitted 2.0 forma, in order that the Solicitor-General for England might adopt certain amendments which would meet the views of all parties. Ile hoped the hon. mem ber would withdraw his motion for reporting progress if such a course was assented to. After a few remarks from Sir E. PErtra and Mr. M‘MAHoN, The committee divided upon the question that the Chairman report progress. For the motion Against it Majority -91 Mr. BLAND moved au amendment to clause 7, with the objectZof clearly defining where full jurisdiction should lie. _ . The clause, as amended, was ordered to stand part of the bill. On clause 8, Colonel FRENCH moved that the chairman report progress. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL condemned the fac tious opposition offered to this bill by the Irish mem bers. He would suggest that, the bill be committed pro forma upon the understanding that the member for Ayr, the Attorney-General for Ireland, and the Lord Advo cate consult upon the bill, and Introduce it in an amended form. Sir E. PERRY thought the effect of postponing the con-ideration of the bill would be to throw it over until next session. Colonel FRENCH withdrew his motion for reporting progress upon the understanding that the bill pass through committee pro forma. A. conversation here ensued whether it was in accord ance with the rules of the house that the bill could pass through committee pro forma without the whole of the clauses beim, agreed to. Mr. P. BRIEN said if the suggestion for the com mittal of the bill was not adopted, he and his party would fight the bill in the usual manner. (Laughter.) The LORD ADVOCffE said if the rules of the house permitted, the Government would use their in fluence to re-commit the bill. Eventually the consideration of the clauses was pro ceeded with. On the question that clause 8 stand part of the bill, Mr. 111‘MATION said be had great objection to the clause. He therefore moved that it be struck out. The SOLICITOR -GENERAL defended the clause, which be explained was introduced for the prevention of collusive judgments. The committee divided, when there appeared— For the clause JB Against it —l5B Majority .. The clause was then agreed to. Clause 9 was next proposed. Colonel FRENCH moved that the chairman report progress. Mr. ADAMS suggested that Ireland should be ex cluded from the operation of the bill. After a short conversation, in which Mr. M t CA' III), Mr. Ayrton, and Mr. Grogan took part, A divi-iou took place ; the numbers were-- For reporting progress 54 Against it 175 Maj ,rity --121 Mr. M`IIIAHON moved an amendment in the clause to the effect that a complete Scotch judgment,and not an extract of a decreet sh ou ld b e registered and acted upon. Mr. GROGAN declared it as the intention of the Irish members to throw out the measure. They intended to use every form which the proceedings of the house gave to carry nut their object. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL suggested that the better course would be now to report progress, as there seemed a determin4tion to obstruct the progress of the b,P. During the whole of the time the measure had beea under discussion he bad not heard one valid objection ur,;ed against it. (gear.) Mr. CRAUFORD saif if the hon. gentleman agreed to withdraw his amendment be would assent, from com pulsion, to the chairman reporting progress, but be gave notice that he should bring forward the measure on the first open Wednesday. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and the house resumed. SCIENTIFIC AND LITERARY SOCIETIES BILL. The house them went into committee on this bill. Mr. LOCKE moved an amendment on the second clause. The bill proposed to exempt certain scientific institutions from the payment of certain rates. In the present bill he observed the word " education" had been introduced, and if such a word was retained great hardship on the poorer classes woul I be inflicted. In the borough of Southwark the rates were already very heavy, and if this bill passed, as it at present stood a number of public institutions, such as Bethlem Hospital, situated in the borough, would be exempt from contributing to the rates, and thus the already heavy burden would be greatly increased. Mr. HENLEY said if the present bill passed the clerks would claim exemption. He should move, at the proper time, that the clause do not stand ptrt of the bill. Mr. SPOONER moved that the Chairman report progress. BOUVERIE said there was great objection to the exceptions contained in the bill. Under all cir cumstances he felt it to be his duty to vote for the me). tion that the Chairman report progress. Tne conimitte divided. For the amendment Against it Majority It baing a quarter to 6 Mr. FITZROY left the chair, and the house reamed. ROCHDALE ELECTION. A report was brought up from the Rochdale Election Committee, stating although every meaushad been taken to procure the attendance of Pater Johnson for exami- nation before the said committee, all steps had laded. The committee further reported that there was nothing to implicate the sitting member or his agents. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned.
