MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIA L INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Co!ton Market yesterday closed with animation, and, com pared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds were at a slight advance. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales, about 2,000 of which were taken for export - , and 2,000 on speculation. There was no particular alteration in the Conti nental exchanges yesterday afternoon, but a slight decline on Paris was noticeable. During the fortnight ending last evening the amount of hills di"awn by the Honourable East India Company on the three Presidencies were as follows : Rates of Excbange— Amount. On Bengal, 2s 844 per rupee... £6O 215 19 11 On Madras, 2s Ovi per rupee... 11,586 7 8 F._ On Bombay, 2s. Id. per rupee... 527 18 4 Total. £72,330 5 11 About 115,0001. in gold was taken int) tie Bank of England yesterday. The late influx of specie from Australia, &T. has no doubt led to a larger accumulation of gold in the Bank than was generally expected ; but the affect of the sales made to the authorities will not be seen until the publication of the return for the current week, viz., cm Friday, the 19th instant. It was generally presumed that almost all of these remittances, although re presenting such an imposing total, would be absorbed by silver purchases, and the Bank of France, having a very small proportion to find its way into the Bank c9ffers ; but since Monday 2 50,0001., if not more, has been added to the reserves in that establishment. Further amounts arc expected to be similarly appropriated. Still the public are not generally sanguine of any speedy reduction in the rate of discount. The last Bank r,turn was completed to the 30th May, and exhibited a general improvement, but on contrasting the various items with those of the statement made Up for the corresponding period of the previous year, 'Viz., to th e 31st May, 1856, it appears t hat the pc sition of the establishment is not so favourable as at the latter date, as will be observed by the subjoined comparative table : 31st May, 1856.

It is inferred, therefore, that a further beneficial change must take place before the authorities adopt a simi lar coune. When the " other securities" are reduced to a more moderate aggregate, and the note reserve is larger, some relief may be ex pected, but at present it is very doubtful whether the existing onerous terms will be speedily modified. The demand for money, to-day, is tolerably active, but no pressure is complained of, the supply of capital being large. The market for Public Securities is firm, but business is dull, and the variation in prices conse quently unimportant. There is no new feature to report, the market beit,g just in the same atate as it was yesterday. Money is easier in the House, and the demand is limited.

THE LATE ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER IN DRURY-LINE —Through the unwearied exertion! of the surgeons at King's College Hospital, the poor injured young woman, Mrs. Geary is gradually recovering from her wounds, and there is every hope that in the course of a few days she will be enabled to appear at the police-court. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.—At the police court this morn ing, J. Shattock, an attorney, whose offices are at Croft's buildings, Preeson's-row, a as this morning brought before J. S. Mansfield, Esq., stpeudiary reagistrctte, clam ged with having committ e d forgery on several bills of exchange. Various gentlemen appeared for the dif ferent polies interested, and by mutual consent a re mand was granted for seven days. AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS IN IRELAND.—The rain, which set in in Dublin on Sunday, appears to have com menced generally a day earlier in the provinces. All the country papers speak of the beneficial effects of the chane e, and the green crops and meadowing never at any similar period of the season gave promise of greater abundance. According to the latest accounts from St. Peters burg, the Emperor and Empress of Russia, attended byPrince Gortechakoff, MinisterforForeignAffairs ; Prince Dolgoroucki, Minister of Police; and a suite of '2OO persons, will quit St. Petersburgh ou the 25th inst. On the 281 h of July they will be at Rio], and sleep at Rambad, whence they will pro ceed by way of Gottingen to Darmstadt. A despatch received in Paris says, that the Prince Toussoum and General Meneckli will set out from Egypt on the 30th of May, for Paris. The chiefs of the tribes of Kabylia who have given in their submission to the French Generals have requested permission to visit Paris. 20 11 St. St. St. 50 St. St. 20i 100 100 E SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1857, Leasing 3ompanies (Nosing Prices yesterday.

PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. This committee re-assembled yesterday Mr. Labouchere in the chair. The first witness called was , Mr. Roche, who, in reply to ques , ions by the chairman, said he had been residing in Canada for the last 16 years. He held an s tuation there as fourth clerk in the Provincial Secretary's Depart ment of the Canadian Goverinn-nt,' and had re ceived written instructions to plac, li'mself in com munication with this committee. Be had been in correspondence with persons connected with th:) fur trade, and he had draw❑ up some memoratAa on the subject. Mr. Ellice suggested that the evidence in chef should be given viva voce. Mr. Roche, in reply to the Chairman, said he had never been in the Hudson's Bay Company's ter itory. But be was able to state generally what were the mineral riches of the territcoy. There were :valuable copper mines and malachite, &e. By Mr. Christie—The feel ig of the 1 eop!e of Canada was adverse to the Hudson's Bay Company, and they thought that they had no right to hold exclusive posses ion over such an extensive district. By Lord Stanley —The Canadians generally thought that territory ought to be annexed tto Canada. By the Chairman—He believed it was not ex act'y the feeling of the Canadians that Vaneouvet' s Island should be attached to Canaria, but they should like to see it thrown open as a colony and settlement. _ _ _ _ By Mr. Grogan—Be thought the feelirgs of the Cana-Han people in resp , . ct to the territory were the same as those of the old French Canadians on that subject. The Canadians would prefer trying the old prairies for settling to the uplands on the Ottawa. By Mr. Christie—He believed the Canadians would like to see the Hudson's Bay Company abolished altogether. By the Chairman—When there was competition' in the fur trade, there was confusion and disorder and the introduction of spirits ; but spirits were introduced now. With regard to the relations between the Indian and whites in the American territory, he was aware there had been a good deal of bloodshed ; that was chiefly c.mfined to Oregon. By Mr. Grogan—ln point of fact the Indians iu Canada were increasing in number, intelligence, and wealth, and were settling down as agriculturists —they had communication with the whites. • By Mr. Ellice—There was no fur trade carried on by those whites and Indians in C•nada. He Phould put an end altogether to the sale of spirits for the sake of the Indians. The room was cleared in order that the commit tee might decide as to the reception of certain written documents which the wi . nes.s had with him. On the parties being again admitted, Mr. Roche, in reply to questions by Mr. Clyis tie, said ho wished to put in a petition front the Red River settlers to the Parliament of Canada, praying for the annexation of the Hudson's Bay Company's territory to Canada. He said it wm only a copy of the petition ; but the petition itself had been signed by from 800 to 1,000 people. . Mr. Ellice objected to the reception of such a document as evidence—it was a most unusual course. Mr. Roche, in reply to Mr. Christie, said that a committee of the Canadian Parliament was now sitting to inquire into the questions broached in that petition, and into the subject of the Hudson's Bay Company's charter generally. By Mr. Ellice—He did not know by what au thority the Colonial Legislature assumed to inquire into charters granted by the Imperial Parliament with regard to territories not belongin g to them, unless it might be to ascertain the effects of those charters, and whether they conflicted with the rights of the province of Canada. The Chairman then thanked Mr. Roche for his evidence, and he withdrew. Captain D. Heard was the next witness. He said he had beex in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company for the last 23 years. He com manded some of their ships. He said, in reply to questions by Mr. Ellice, he had been 23 years in the company's territory, and ho never saw more than one whale in all that time. He believed there were no fish, and if there were the ice would render their capture impossible. By Mr. Christie—The company had never sent out any steamers, nor did he think it would be practicable. He was aware there was an Arctic expedition, and that they had sent out steamers, but be was not aware of the result. If a screw steamer were sent out it would depend on the state of the straits whether it would shorten the passage. Sometimes ships were detained six weeks in the straits without being able to move. The distance from London to Hudson's Bay was calculated at 3,500 miles • it was farther than to Montreal, and t .. more difficult passage altogether. He did not know the value of his cargoes nOr the rates of in -surance. The tonnage was about- 520 tons. The borne cargoes usually consisted of furs and oils and. stone ballast. The outward cargo consisted of manufactured articles, and tea and sugar and blan kas. There never were any applications from the merchants at York to send home tallow or any other produce, instead of the stone ballast they were obliged to carry to steady the ships, owing to the lightness of the articles which formnithe home cargoes. Mr. Miles was the next witness. He said he bad been sent out to Vancouver's Island I y the Hud son's Bay Company as inspector of accounts. Ho thought the soil of the island was superior to that of England ; there was a large quantity of tinit er and of coal ; the fisheries would be valuable in course of time ; he thought there was every neces sary in the island to form one of the finest colonies in the world ; the soil and climate were good, and there was abundance of timber, coal, iron, and fish. After describing the route be took through the territory of the Susohatua, and the peculiarities of the various districts as to climate and products, the witness concluded his evidence. The committee then adjourned until Thursday next. Sunshine and fsir weather were suddenly fol lowed by dark lower:ng cloudy, and before the afternoon was far advanced a drenching rain fell. This unpropitious change in the skier infinenc , s was sufficient to deter many intending lady visitors to reserve Clem. elves for Thursday—the Cup Day—. when her Majesty and Court will be present. S t ill the Heath was numerously attended ; the effect of the railway on the gathering, was, however, appa rent in the comparatively scanty muster of vehicles, and the increased number of pedestrians. The Grand Stand was crowded, and notwith standing the inclement weather the assemblage of ladies was p•Thaps scarcely below the average. In the Queen's Stand and Private Stands were many fashionable visitors, but we shall reserve our list of distinguished persons until the Cup Day. Under the active superintendence of the Earl of Bessborough the arrangements for carrying out the business of the meeting aee—as they invariably are at Ascot of the most efficient des'ripti.n. The rac'ng, it will be seen from the appended detailed account, was marked by incidents of much , present interest and prospec•ive importance. The success of Arsenal over Strathnaver caused the old queston of, " Who was second for the Derby'?" to be revived, while the horse was much tallied ablut afterwards in connexion with the St. Lsger, for which event 20 to 1 would have been taken about him. Clydesdale, the winner of the Bit nnial Stakes, is likely to play an important part in the Derby betiiugof 1858. Altogether the racing was in fa your of the fielders " the Stakes" being carried off by a veri'able outsider, Claude Lorraine, who was backed for small sums only at prices ranging be tween 100 to 8 and 100 to 5.

A leading feature in this , affair is the rivalry of officers of the . French and English armies and navies, who, having recently tested their skill and strength in some . steeplecha s e con tests at La Marche, are a bout, with the aid of several members of French Jockey and other clubs, to renew the competition upon an English racecourse. The War wick Race Committee have not only expressly guaran- a t ee d 150/. towards the expenses of the meeting, with view of securing so important a fixtu re, but taken upon themselves add itional responsibilities, amounting to 4001., whilst the town of Leamington guarantees 1501. Th e first day's sport will consist of six events, the prin cipal of which, bearing the characteristic designations of the Alma and Balaklsva Stakes, are to receive the aid of liberal subscription tram the borough of Warwick. There races n ill be confined to officers in ac tive service by land and sea. Two handicaps are thrown open to tree members of certain specified clubs in both e i countr ; and in t /co other races jockeys will ride. The secon d s day's running is upon an equally extended scale. There are an Inkerman Stakes and an handicap to each, of which Leamington adds 501. of public money topol Stakes, and another handicap—all four ra ces bein g confined to French and English officers. There will be a third handicap, bearing a cognomen specially compli mentary to the " Hero of the Redan," and to which will be appended 1001. from the receipts of the stand, and also a plate of 501. given by the committee. The Leamington Courier says, " We are assured that s everal linndrett pounds have already been collect ed among military gentltmen in furtherance of the objects of this meeting, thus tecuriog the bonus announced for each particular event in the programme, independently of whatever amount of subscriptions may be locally col heed. Such a reunion of sportsmen from all-patte of England and France, folowinz PO cloeely upon the-heele of the usual September Meeting at Warwick, is Iwell calculated to induce a I,rge number of visitors to prolong their temporary sojourn in this neighbourhood. At the late affair at La Marche, it was an English officer— Captain Craven, of the Ist Life Guards, and nephew o f Earl Craven, of Combo Abbey — who bad the honour of being the winner of the Great Military Steeplechase ; but is only fair to state that two French noblemen, Vicomte de Lauriston, and the Duke de Grama•ont. Caderousse, who figured on the occasion, rode remark. ably well." SHARE MARKETS—(This Day.) RAILWAYS. RAILWAYS. Closing ?flee% yesterday H?ORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT R ACES-TVESDAY. Pied )Ambg.

On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. KER SEYMER moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second tine this day six mouths. Ile believed drunkenness was the besetting sin of the work ing classes of this country, but he thought it was now decreasing. The influence of good' xmpleis amongst the tipper classes, the increased desire on the part of erne. ployers to promote the moral, religious, and physical welfare of their servants, the establishment of parks, and the increase of education, were the causes of this, and it was no Utopian idea to imagine that these would have a still further benefic:al effect on the habits of the working classes. They had seen a great change in the habits of the upper classes, in respect of drunkenness, and there was no reason to doubt that a similar changa from the causes now in operation would take place in the habits of the lower classes. He condemned the restrictive principles of this bill, and remarked that no body of men would think of restricting the Lumber of shops in any other trades to be opened. Ile stated in support of his argument relative to the restrictive character of the licensing system generally, that during five years 2,343 persons applied for licences in the Metrops lie, of whom only 493 were successful, and of these 72 were granted in the Tower Liberties. He considered there should be some regulations for the trade but not the reetrictiens proposed by the present mea sure. The hon. gentleman referred to the connection existing between the brewers and publicans relative to obtaining licenses, on the ground of the former supply ing the latter with ale and porter, and also to most of the publio houses being the property of the brewers, or mortgaged to them. The licensing system, coupled with the malt tax, was the great upholder of the brewers' monopoly. It was absurd to draw distinctions between beer shops and public houses, because there were bad in both branches, and it was a notorious fact that a number of public houses were kept by prize-fighters, who were a class of men he could never consider as re spectable. It was all very well to ta'k about the morality of publicans and brewers,. but their object was to sell as much beer as they could. Although the licence was strict as to adulteration and dilu- tion, the publicans and beer shop keepers were obliged to halo recourse to diction for their profits, and Mr. Hawes, a celebrated brewer, who was examined before the committee, stated that the retailer had to " pump the new Ever" for his profits—(a laugh)—in other words, dilute the beer with water. The present system of li censing was bad and required alteration—magistrates being very often placed in unpleasant positions when they were asked to grant licenses, and serretimes charged with partiality. The Beer Act bad been success ful, inasmuch as it gave the public the reduction of duty, nd allowed many persons, such as shell-fish shop keepers, to supply beer, who did not require a spirit license as well. He approved of one license in stead of two as now in practice, which would give the beerseller permission to sell beer and spirits, or either, only as he thought most desirable for the purposes of his trade. Statistics of drunkenness were very fallacious, because no two towns had the same regulations for ap prehending persons under the influence of drink. In some towns . the- police had orders to take only such mien as could not take care of them-selvee, whilet in others they took ' men who were a little the worse for liquor. The honourable gentle man also referred to the present system stigmatising a man as not being respectable by a ithh,lding his license, and at the same time preventing hie rising in the class to which he belonged. Beer-shops, generally speaking, he thought were better kept than licensed houses. He approved of that part of the bi 1 which referred to coffee-houses that were kept open all night, and he regretted it had been made a part of tbis measure. The application of the Tippling Act to these shops h e thought desirable, and he complained of an omission in the bill relative to the privileges of Free Vintners, and called attention to a house now open in Piccadilly under a free vintner's licence. He called upon the " strong Government " to take up the question, and not be afraid of the licensed victuallers, who, it could not be doubted, were a strong class, and very influential in elections. Mr. %V. BROWNE supported the amendment, and explained that his name had been put on the back of the bbl under a misapprehension. When he first saw the bill he found it so different to what he f xpected that he wrote to request the removal of his name from it, but he was told it was too late, and could not be done. After reviewing the labours of the committee appointed two sessions sin expressed a hope cef of which he was a member, he that the Government would, next year, be prepared with a measure founded upon the report which the committee presented to the house. Mr. NEWDEGATE did not accede to the doctrine that, because the Government did not deal with an ac knowledged evil, private members atte m p tin g to legislate upon the subject should be considered as inter fering with the duties of the executive. He deprecated too much responsibility being thrown upon the Govern• ment, as inconsistent with the freedom and independence of hon. memb er s. Mr. D. GRIFFITIIS supported the second reading of the bid Sir G. GREY said that as a direct appeal had been made to the Government, he took an early oppor tunity of stating the views of the Government this question, and his views on this bill. T bon. gentleman who had brought in the bill was not liable to censure for so doing, but rather praise for caus ing the subject to be discussed. [LEFT BPEARINI•] _ POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(Tiiis Day. EON-STREET. THE LATE EXTENSIVE FORGERIES ,— This morning four young men named Brooks, Hardy, Scholefield, and Miles, were placed at the bar charged with forgery. It will be recollected that the two first-named prisoners had been placed at the bar on a former occasion, charged with having, by a false representation, possessed them. selves of a blink cheque-book of the London and West. minster Bank, and then forged a considerable number of cheques, and presented them at different newspaper offices in payment for the insertion of certain advertise ments. The mode pursued was to present an advertise ment, the charge for which would be about 55., and in payment to tender a cheque for 41. or 5/. The prisoner Brooks bad been in the service of Mr. Barton, the adver tising agent of Wellington-street, Covent Garden. At& previous ex smination the prisoners Brooks and Hardy made certain statements which led to the appre hension of Scholefield and Miles. Amongst the cases proceeded with to-day was one in which the Times had been defrauded of 4/. 124. A number of witnesses clearly proved the forging of the cheques, and Mr. Barton stated that he never sent the order in question t 3 the Times. The depositions having been read over, Mr. Henry folly committed the whole of the prisoners for trial. ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURT.—The sales last week realised 78,0001. The amount of rental posted for sale in the month of June is 18,2631. per annum, the acreage being 83,000. A FALSE ALARM.—The astronomers have been sweep- . ing the heavens with their trlircopes in search of the comet which some German prophet announced was lo cotne in contact with our globe on the 13th or 14th of the present month. The eccentric wanderer of the skies has as yet, we believe, been nowhere met with. The Lord-Lieutenancy of the County of Tipperary, vacated by the death of Lord Lismore has been con ferred upon his son, the present Visceunt. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Candia has been lengthened 30 feet. She is now nearly 350 feet long. It is singular that now she is lengthened she draws one foot of water less than she did previous to her being lengthened. She will be ready for sea about the latter end of July. The Colombo, another of the same company's ships, is about to be lengthened. CHAIRMANSHIP OF THE CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. —At the meeting of the commission yesterday a letter was read from Mr. Deputy Peacock, resigning the chairmanship on account of bodily indisposition. TIE PERSIAN WAR• (From the Gazette of last Evening.) INDIA BOARD, JUNE 8. The following notification, issued by the Governor-Gene ral of India in Council, on the 221 of April, 1857, has been this day received at the East India House : NOTIFICArION. FORT WILLIAM, APRIL 22, 1857. It is with great satisfaction that the Governor-General in Council directs the publication of the accompanying despatches* received from the seat of war in Persia. They describe fully the operations of the British sea and land forces in the attack and capture of Mohumra on tho 26th of March, the flight of the Persian army, thirteen thou- E and strong, and the complete success of the British arms at every point. The scheme of the attack was chosen by Lieutenant- General Sir James Outram with excellent judgment; it was carried through with precision ; and it has led to the accomplishment of the object in view at a small cost of life. The Governor-General in Council desires to offer to Lieu tenant-General Sir James Outram his best congratulations and thanks for this happy result. The engagement was on the side of the British arms a naval one,—no land force, with the exception of one mor tar battery, having taken an active share in it. The manner in which the task was performed is most honour able to the Indian Navy. That the Officers, Seamen, Artillerymen, Marines , and others of the squadron did their duty with intrepidity and ardour, is the smallest part of the praise which isowing to them. The plan of the naval attack, which was to be carried out in shoal and narrow waters, and in a rapid current, by steamers of heavy daught, some of them encum bered with vessels in tow, and the thoroughly successful execution of every part of it, without miscarriage or con fusion of any kind, en the face of strong defensive works at point blank range, havegiven proof of a cool judgment, a well-ordered discipline, and a skilful management, of which Commodore Young, and the officers and men under his command may well be proud. The cordial thanks of the Government of India are emi nently due to Commodore Young, and tothose who shared that day's work with him ; and the Governor-General in Council will have pleasure in expressing to the Honour able Court of Directors his hearty approbation of the con duct of all concerned. It will be his agreeable duty to bring to the especial notice of her Majesty's Government, and of the Honourable Court of Directors, the merito rious services of those whom Commodore Young has named in his despatches of the 27th March. The disembarkation of the troops above the forts took place under the able direction of -Geneßrigadier-Geeral Have lock, C. 8., rapidly, and in good order ; fore the landing was effected, success was already complete. The whole Persian army was in full retreat, leaving in our hands seventeen pieces of ordnance', their tents, baggage, stores of all kinds, and large magazines of ammunition and provisions. An accurate return of casualties has not yet been received. These were coorined to the squadron ; and it is believed that the number does net exceed six killed and thirty wounded. It is estimated that the enemy lost two hundred killed. For the judicious arrangements IVPs were held in readiness, and their landing facilitated, the thanks of the Government of India ark , due to the officers of the General Staff, and to the other S, tall and Regimen tal Officers indicated in Lieutenant-11 eneral Sir James Outram's despatch. The Governer-Ge neral in Council will not fail to call the attention of her Vajesty's Govern ment, and of the Honourable Court of 1 )irecters, to the zeal and exertions of these officers, as also I to the assistance rendered to Lieutenant-General Sir James .Ontram by the officers and others serving on his Staff. The Governor-General in Council canno t close this notice of the operations at Mohumra without • tendering his thanks to the commanders-and crows of th e tr, vnsports en gaged on this occasion. The alacrity with w. h a dan gerous service, far beyond their strict o bli g ation s, was un dertaken, and the courage and skill with which it was per formed, entitle the officers and men of those v essele to the best acknowledgments of the Government of I ndia.

SCULLER'S RICE BETWEEN DEAL AND WHITE FOR 501. Another below-bridge match took place yesterday. The c.)mpetiters were William Deal, jun., of Cherry. garden-stairs, and Thomas White, of Mill-stairs, Ber mondsey. Deal was the winner of the Bermondsey CJat rand Badge in 1851, and of the Bermondsey boat in 1855. Thomas White rowed for the Coat and . Badge in the Royal Thames National Regatta last year, and also won the freedom at the Lambeth Regatta. Th• distance in this race was from the East India Docks, Blackwal, to the Wapping entrance of the Landon. Docks; and the stake was 251. a-side. A very numer ous party co ltcted to wit❑ess the match. Thu men got oil capita ly together. Deal then took a slight I , :ad, which he maintained to the WAt India Docks. White then came to him, and lifter rowing scull and scull tar some dintanoe, began to leave him, and drew his boat Si, length in advance ; in this position they continued row ing desperately till they got to the Commercial D:ick, Rotherbithe, where White gradually left bis opponent, and, increasing his lead, won by five or six lengths. Th e winner was taken up by Thomas White, of East-lane, and trained under his brother Henry, at Lambeth. THE SEW DOVK AT MALTA. MALTA, June 3.—On June 1, at 3 p.m., the foun dation-stone of our new dock was laid by Admiral Lord Lyons, the heath of departments, the n•tval and military in full uniform, and a numerous body of spectators being present. The Admiral was re ceived by a guard of honour of Royal Marino, and. the Vicinity was ga . ly garnished wirh flAgs, the bands playing national airs. The Lord Bishop of Gibraltar and his clergy performed the religious portion of tha ceremony. Lord Lyons then took the silver trowel, and, aftsr using made a short, pithy, and • appropriate speech, w ich was r espon , led to by loud cheers, arid a royal salute from her Ma jesty's sh'p Hibernia. A sumptuous repast was provided on board that vessel by the Hon. Sir Montague and Lady Stopford, in honour of tire oc casion, and was followed by a dance. . The :foun dation-stone of the first dock was laid with masonic honours : it occurred some years ago, under the superintendence of Sir Lucius Curtis, Bart. P. G. M. for Haut3. We bad a gay wedding on the 2d ; the favourite prima donna Elena was married to Mr. Magenis, of the 28th Regiment. The last Russian prize remaining at Malta was put up to auction, and bought in by the Acting Marshal of the Admiralty Court for about 210/. His instructions were not to let her go for less than 250!. She has been some two years in Malta, and, while the courts have been hesitating about her being a prize, she has so deteriorated as to become almost worthless, and has cost much more than she is worth. Things are very dull in Malta ; little business doing ; scarcely any freight fur shipping. One barque has been lying in the port over seven weeks with a cargo of coals, for which no purchasers can be found at 30e. per ton. The exchange is no w a little below par, but the commissariat have up to this relused to give any bills under par. For very many years there has been a prohibi tion against exporting catt'e from the North Coat of Africa, but this has scarcely ever been enforced with regard to Malta, and formerly, whenever it was attempted, a frigate used to be sent with a demand for so many cattle for Malta, and it w.-us always complied with. Lately we have become much more polite, and aletter is sent soliciting that cattle may be permitted to be sent for the garrison of Malta. Very little attention is paid to such mi'd applica , ions, and the prohibition is much more strictly enforced. The French have cleverly talc , n advantage of this, by having the cattle driven ov, r the frontier and embarked for exportation at Bona, where British ships have to pay ss. per ton ton nage dues, and 10s. per head export duty, all which goes into French pockets instead of English. It is hoped the English consul-general will succeed in altering this. TEE PARLIAMENTARY OATIIS BILL. In conformity with the announcement which ap peared in the Tablet and Weekly Register last week, a deputation, comprising Catholic noblemen, mem bers of Parliament, and other influential 'gentle men, waited on Lord Palmerston on Monday at his private residence, Cambridge-house, Piccadilly, for the purpose of urging on his lordship the pro priety of including Catholics in the relief from the objectionable passages in the oaths (now taken by members of the Legislature. The deputation was introduced by his Grace the Duke of Norfolk. 1 meeting was held subsequently at the Stafford street Club, Piccadilly—his Grace the Duke of Noi folk in the chair—for the "purpose of adopting such steps as might be deemed expedient in refer ence to the resul t of the interview with the Premier." His Grace the Duke of NORFOLK, in opening the proceedings, said that, as some gentlemen present had not attended the deputation to Lord Palmer ston that day, he would state to them what bad taken place. He had laid before his lordship the objections which the Catholic body entertained to being excluded from the operation of his lordship's bill. In reply to his statement Lord Palmerston said that be himself did not care to exclude Cath o. lice, but that he thought including them in the bill would have the effect of endangering its adoption. He also considered that there was nothing iu the oath at present required of Catholic members which the strictest of that communion could not subscribe to without any compromise of his religious princi ples. He (Lord Palmerston) was then a.ked ther he would support the amendment, of which notice had been given, and though be promised that be would give it his consideration he would not pledge himself, assigning as a reason that there were Scotch members, Dissenters and others, who might be opposed to it, and who, if it were pressed, might be induced to vote against the measure. The Hon. C. LANGDALE moved a resolution to the effect that, Lord Palmerston's explanation be j ing unsatisfactory, an amendment should be pro posed in committee on the bill. Mr. MOORE, M. P., said thtt an amendment wu already on the books of the house, introduced by au able member, Mr. Deasy, and be thought the hest course would be to pledge themselves to support that hon. member, or to introduce an amendment embodying the views expressed by the noble chair man at the deputation that day. • Lord CAMOYS objected to the meeting pledging themselves to the r esolution. Mr. LANGDALE ultimately moved the following That Lord Palmerston's explanation t resolution .th e d e putation from this meeting not being c Jud dered satisfactory, the meeting recommends th it an amendment in committee, generally embodying the views'submitted to his lordship by .his , Grace tie Duke of Norfolk, be supported by the Catholic) members."—Agreed to. The meeting shortly afterwards terminated. LLOYD'S BB EPPING.--(This Day.) LONDON, June 10 . —Wind this day at noon, S.W.; strong breeze, and cloudy at times.
