MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocl. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Colton Market yesterday was quiet, but firm. The sales Were 6,000 bales, 1,500 of wh'cli were taken for export, and on speculation. The Railway Share Market WS dull, and prices of all the leading stocks declined. The Bank of Eogland weekly return of liabilities and assets, which is completed for the week ending the 30th of May, is very satisfactory, showing an increase of not far short of ha 7 a million sterling in the reserve of notes and the bullion. The public deposits as well as the private deposits have also greatly augmented, and the only unfavourable feature in the balance-sheet is an increase of up wards of 600,000/. iu the other securities. It is expected that a moderate proportion of the gold lat e l y rece i ve d from Australia will be sold to the authorif es, and the improvement in the general Position of the Bank's resources now apparent is, therefore, likely to continue. The principal items, and the changes they present are as follows : Active Circulation Increase Bullion .. 10,032,402 est lncrease 3,302,357 Decrease . Public Deposits Increase AOther Deposits Increase 4 8 even-Day and other Bills 713,308 .

Advices from China report a further slight ad !ano° in the rates of exchange, so that the drain u/ silver from this side will no doubt continue un abated. Money is in good demand, but rather less Pressure is experienced. ~_Although the variation in the English Stock Mark e t is very limited, the quotations are buoyant and the tendency has been upwards. The ship 14e/it of gold from Australia advised by the over . d mail, and the favourable Bank return have '' 3l Parted a firmer tone, and the speculators f or a rise are encouraged to continue their ;Perations. Consols have been 93 1 to 94 i " money, and 941 buyers for account, but at P r esent the market is flatter owing to the news L " ) Da China, the quotations being 9n 94 and 941 r espectively.

'Ate limited number of shares in the principal dividend braes, and to which we have frequently called attention, au more than ever felt, as the extension of the market causes them to be more widely diffused. We hope, there fore, pursers and managers will no longerobject to 1024ths at least, for a subdivision to this number would be a boon to the market, and a benefit to shareholders. Even Devon Consols, though in 1024 shares, are most difficult to get When any demand arises, and the case becrmes worse When a mine is divided into 257 only. However, the zzatter rests with the shareholders, for we believe the extra trouble which would be entailed through addi tional transfers causes the chief opposition on the Past of pursers. The standard, so far, has kept at a r emunerative point for copper mines, and no great fall IR anticipated, notwithstanding copper is again down .4 . per lb. Lead keeps up, and although tin has fallen considerably, as it generally does this time -of ‘ue year, there is no occasion for any great alarm , Tor When the Banca sales in Holland are over, and our smelters have bought the tin, we may look for a reaction in prices.—Mining Journal, of this day. BARROW SCHOOL.—The Harrow Spoech-day for this Year is fixed fur Thursday, the 21 of July. Lord Pal merston has promised to preside at the Harrow dinner tp London, on Wednesday, the Bth of July.

By the time the express train reached Fromo, nearly twenty thousand persons were assembled and lined the way from the station to the town. through which a well-arranged procession of Foresters, and other charitable associations, or Trades Unions, was duly paraded, together with banners and the usual accompaniment of several bands of music. The vast crowd at length assembled in an adjoining field, where tents and every arrangement was made for the enjoyment of a holyday by the million. Some addresses were offered by gentlemen who have taken au interest in Mr. Nicoll's election, but special at tention was reserved for the remarks offered by the hon. gentleman, who spoke at S01:110 length, but deprecated poli tical discussion, as he stated that, being now a representa tive of the community generally, he would naturally ob ject to throw the apples of discord amongst them, indeed, he was there merely to enjoy with them a holiday ; and proceeded to pay a well-deserved compliment to the charitable institutions whose procession through the streets had been so much admired. Mr. Nicoll said that in no other country in the word, save where the Anglo-Saxon language was spoken, could such institutions , prosper. Elsewhere secret societies were suspected t o have treasonable thoughts ' • but in these insti tutions loyalty ever ex i s t s —i n d ee d,. he believed every member would freely shed the last drop of blood in his veins to defend the throne of her, who, whether as a wife, a mother, or a queen, deserved the love and duty of her people. Tho hun. gentleman proceeded to address his young friends, wh o were ra th er b o i s t erous , i n th e i r s h ou t s of '`Nicoll for ever !" He urged the lasses to follow the counsel of their good fi iends, who had their best in terests at heart, and never forget that it was their mission to become the future helpmates of England's pride, its honest and intelligent working men, that they could, by their example, lead, then to the enjoyment of much happiness ; undue visits to the public-house, and many other ancient evils could be best avoided by a well ordered and comfortable home. To the lads he would say. Moro, as they would have to battle with the sterner rea alities of life, and he would g ive them this advice, - Never be daunted by: the first disappointment : but if this cause was right, let it merely urge them to renewed efforts, which generally terminated in success. They might think his position amongst them a sufficient illustra tion, because when he first a.-cepted an invitation to represent the borough he was defeated, but conscious the cause was right, he renewed his efforts, and the large Minority. was converted into,adarger majority. Mr. Nicoll said that it was highly prAable that many of then lads there before him might rate, and, by carrying ener getic and industrious habits 170 the - land of their adoption,' they might, contribute to the foundation of future mighty empires ; but they would in all probability never cease to have kindly recollections of the. land of their birth. They might half a century hence be talking to their grandchildren; and speak of A Whit-Tuesday when thou sands assembled in their_ native town .to welcome its re presentative, who by his industry had carved for him self a , career of usefulness, and had not without honour, as he bad been made sheriff of the greatest city in the world before he was thirty years of age, and less than ten years from his shrievality, he was called to represent a borough with which he had long bad commercial relations. He (Mr. Nicoll) was another instance, however humble a man's occupation be, yet, if pursued honourably, it could not, and'would not, affect him in the eyes of sensible men. The honourable gentleman was loudly cheered throughout his speech, and after the eojoyasent of many rural sports, together With dancing, continued to a late hour, the holy day crowd at length separated, highly gratified by the arrangements that had been made for their enjoyment.

This bill was brought up from the House of Commons and read a first time. MINISTERS' MONEY. This bill was real a first time. THE MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT. The Earl of ALBEMARLE presented a petitio❑ from the merchants, shipowners, and others in terested in the shipping trade of the port of Bristol, ccmp'aining of certain clauses i❑ the Merchant Shipping Act, arid praying that the said act may be referred to a select commAtee. The noble earl asked her Majesty's Government whether they intended to introduce any measure to meet the require ments of the shipowners, and if not, in what other way they meant to grant relief. The noble earl referred at some length to the act in question, which, 'fist-ad of being short and concise, was of a totally op posite nature. It occupied upwards of three hundred pages, and contained more than five hundred clauses, consequently it would occupy nearly the whole of the life-time of an ordinary seaman to become acquainted with the whole of its provisions. The noble earl then referred to the hardships shipowners laboured under, in consequence of the liability they incurred by loss of life occurring on board ship. The shipowners strongly objected to the Court of Inquiry instituted by the act. Tbey considered this tribunal a very arbitrary one. After a feW other observations the noble lord resumed his seat. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said he had lis tened attentrely to the observations of the noble lord, and one of the grievances complained of, was the extreme length of the Merchant Shipping Act. Now, when it was considered that this Act was a consolidation of no less than 128 Acts relating to the shipping, he did not think it was surprising that it occupied so large a space. He thought, looking to the whole facts of the case, no consolidation of the law upon any point bad been effected with such consummate ability as the pre sent one. The noble lord having replied to the other observations of the noble earl, said there was no ground whatever for any alteration in the law as it at present existed. The Earl of lIARDWICKE said that the petition that had been presented by the noble earl opposite wag a very important one, and he thought the grievances complained of by the shipowners ought to be investi. gated by a stl.ot committee. - A NOBLE LORD said he should like to know whether the Government meant to make any proposal with re gard to manorial rights on the sea-shore compulsory, the power possessed by the Crown of calling upon lords of the manor to produce their titles to wrecks being very unsatisfactory in their operation. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said there were no compulsory powers with regard to the production of titles ; all that was done was to institute a preliminary inquiry. With regard to the matters complained of in the petition, he bad no hesitation in saying that the Government were prepared to give them their best con sideration. He saw no objection to giving a power of appeal from the Court of Admiralty. The inspectors did not follow any trade, and therefore were likely to be unprejudiced. With regard to measurement by ton nage, he must observe that no longer ago than 1354 the whole q' e Ition involved was submitted to those who were most competent to judge, namely, representatives of the Admiralty, of the law, of the Trinity House, and of all the great shipping ports, and they all agreed to recommend the adoption of the system which was now in operation. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said he was not generally in favour of the system of allowing appeals, considering it best to take care that the court of origi nal jurisdiction was one on which they could rely. (hear.) One of the great complaints of the petitioners was the delay which attended inspection ; and in most ca , es the delay which would attend appeals would be a greater evil than the injury complained of. Consider ing that the Merchant Shipping Act was passed only two or three years ago, he thought the Government should not on light grounds consent to any alteration being made in its provisions. Lord CAMPBELL said the question of manorial rights having been introduced, he wished to observe, that he himself, in consequence of having the good or bad fortune to be the proprietor of an estate near the sea-shore, in Ireland, received a notice from an officer of the customs, iu Galway, calling upon him to state whether he meant to claim the wrecks, and if so, on what title lie based his olaitn in opposition to the Crown He was told that this inquiry arose out of the consolida tion of the laws relating to the mercantile marine. All he could say in reply was that he obtained his estate under the Incumbered Estates Act, and upon that act he must repose. Lord REDESDALE considered the whole proceed ing most unfair. Every proprietor was called upon to come forward and prove his title to the satisfaction of the officer of the Crown who was a claimant against him ; and if he took possession of a wreck without being en titled to it, he thereby su► jectod himself to a heavy penalty. The case was altogether one of injustice, and nothing lees than the repeal of the clauses was required. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY must repeat that no person was compelled to produce his title. All the act did was to secure to the Crown wrecks which did not belong to private individuals. Earl GREY said his own experience was similar to that of the noble and learned lord (Campbell). The wrecks on his estate had been claimed for a ♦ery long period, when he received peremptory notice not to take anything, not even a spar no bigger than his stick. The Earl of DERBY said he had been called upon in a similar manner. (Laughter.) Like the Earl of Sef ton, whose estate joined his own, he was called upon to show his title to wrecks, and though the wrecks them- ' selves might be of little value, the question involved the right of property in the shore between high and low water-mark, which was worth many thousand pounds. He had ❑o reason to complain of the manner in which he was applied to, but he was peremptorily called upon not to take possession of any wreck until he had proved his title. Lord WYNFORD believed that there were a great many cases of oppression at that moment. A Node LORD observed that having been served with a notice, he had paid no attention to it, and he had since heard no more of the matter. (Laughter.) Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY would remind the noble lord that it was not admitted on the part of the Crown that his title was established. Lcrd CAMPBELL hoped it would not be supposed that those who took no notice of the matter allowed judgment to go by default, Lord BROUGJIAM, adverting to the question of ap peals, said he admitted that it was desirable to avoid the multiplication of appeals, and for this purpose original courts of jurisdiction ought to be made as perfect as pos sible; but, on the other hand, there were functional de fects as well as structural ones, and even the best court without a power of appeal from its decisions might be come worse than inferior ones which admitted of appeal. Lord COLCHESTER considered that the power given by certain clauses of the act to inspectors was excessive. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY would gladly re ceive any suggestion from the noble lord, who was inti mately acquainted with the subject. The matter then dropped. PROBATE AND LETTERS OF ADMINISTRA TION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed, after some miscellaneous comments upon the details of the measure from Lord Donoughinore, and Wynford, and other peers. IRISH POOR LAW ADMINISTRATION.

Earl GRANVILLE said he bad no objection to giv ing the return if the last two paragraphs were omitted. lie referred to the authorities in Ireland for information on the case brought forward by the noble lord. It ap peared that the facts had been inquired into, but it was as found impossible to take such a course as would meet t views of the noble lord.

He states that, so far from his quitting the yard with 500/. in pocket, he paid in the course of Tuesday between 6001. and 7001. Such is the statement which has been made to us, and we place it before our sporting readers, as the gentleman referred to seems desirous of vindicating his character. ASCOT RACES. THIMBDAY.

The Commissioners of Customs have, on the applica tion of Messrs. Cairns and Co., extended to Red Lion Wharf the privilege of landing, examining, and ware housing all foreign merchandise except tobacco. This: is she first time the privilege of - landing eilks, &c., has been extended to any wharf or place above Lode bridge. Another order of the Board of Customs, made on the recommendation of Mr. Cockshott, Landing Surveyor, directs that in future British spirits bottled in bond may be exported in 12-gill bottles, instead of 5 ILtd gill bottles, as heretofore. This will be a great advan tage to those engaged in the spirit trade, who, owing t o the previous restriction as to siz e, were rery much 0 1 3- structed in their competition with the Dutch exporte rs to South America. Under the law as it originally stoo d the Dutch could import into this country, for the pur pose of re-exportation, spirits in bottles of 12 gills each, whereas British spirits could only be exported in b,,)t des of 5 1-3d-gill4 PRIVATE BUSINESS.

RETURNS. A number of unopposed returns were ordered to be laid on the table of the house. COWS IN HYDE-PARK. Mr. K. SEYMER asked the Chief Commissioner of Works, by whoseanthority cows were permitted in Hyde park, when they were excluded from the other parks ; whether the number was limited, and whether any of the officers of the Ranger's Department or of the Board of Works were allowed to have the run of cows free of charge ; and if so, bow many were allowed to each such officers 1 (Rear, hear.) Sir B. HALL said that he was informed by the de puty-ranger that cows were permitted in Hyde-nark under the authority of the ranger, and the number was limited acc.irding to the state of the herbage, (Laughter.) Per mission was granted to any person to put cows in the park on the payment of rent. Last year the sum of 4741. was so received, and carried into the public accounts. After referring to the desirable means of supplying Lon• don with new milk, the right hon. baronet's informant said that the only person who had permission to keep cows there without payment was the superintendent. That person kept fire cows, and had done so for the last 29 years ; but, if objectionable, that individual was WI 1- iog to relinquish his privilege without compensation. CIVIL SERVICE SUPERANNUATION. SirT - E:I:I3ULWER gave notice that he should, in a few days, enquire of the Government if they it tended to introduce any measure this session founded on the report of the Civil B,:rvice Commissioners ? THE MILITIA. BOUNTY. Colonel FRENCH asked the thider Secretary for War, i❑ the event of the Irish Mili!ia not being called out for training this year, how the men were to get the bounty of one pound ? Sir J. RAMSDEN asked the gallant gentleman to repeat the question when the vote for the militia came before the house. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENGLAND AND IRELAND. In answer to a question, Mr. WILSON said that the United Company pro. posrd meeting to-morrow to decide on this question, and in the early part of the week he hoped to be able to give the required information. TROOt'S AT THE CAPE. Major S. WORTLEY asked when it was intended to relieve the 6th, 45th, and 73d Regiments, now at Os Cape of Good Hope ! Sir J. RAMSDEN said that the arrangements 'of the service would not permit the withdrawal of the troops at present, especially when the present state of the Cape was considered. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION. Lord R. CECIL asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when it was his intention to intro duce his bill on the sutjeot of the Ecclesiastical Com mission ? Sir G. GREY said he hoped to be able to introduce ;he bill next week. HALF-PAY. Sir G. B. PECHELL inquired of the Secretary of the Treasury, whether the case of certain officers of Green wich Hospital, praying to be granted half-pay, had been favourably considered? Mr. WILSON said he was unable then to give a satisfactory answer, and he would make enquiries about it. EDUCATION. Sir J. PAKINGTON moved the adjournment of the house, in order that be might appeal to the noble lord, as there was no chance of his being able to bring on his motion on education on the day he had given notice, to ask him to give him a Government day for its discussion. OUR RELATIONS WITH BRAZIL. Mr. ROEBUCK referring to the late discussion with reference to our relations with Brazil, asked for the pro- duction of certain papers relating thereto. SHAM ELECTION PETITIONS. Mr. ADDERLEY called the attention of the house to the practice of presenting sham petitions to the house against hon. members' returns, and instanced his own case, where a person named Fox, a journeyman hatter, of Newcastle-under•Lyne, a stranger to him, charged him with corrupt practices. Unfor tunately men making such attacks escaped punishment by the house notpublishing the libel. In his case he would readily expend 1,0001 to bring the man to justice, did the law and the rules of the house permit it. It was time measures should be taken to prevent the repetition of such practices. The law should make it compulsory on the petitioners to pay all expenses if they had not good grounds for doing so. He firmly believed that filty per cent. of the petitions against mem bers were not genuine, but for the purpose of extorting money. (Hear, hear.) He asked the Govern went what course they intended to take relative to this question? Mr. G. H. MOORE complained of the manner he bad been treated by the House and the press relative to the petition that had been presented against his return. His remarks were principally directed to the honourable member for North Warwickshire (241 r. Spooner), who, it was understood, the hon. member said had used it in debate. lie considered the publication had the effect of prejudging the case. He protested against the privilege of the press, and that house being used in these instances to the prejudice of the sitting member. I\lr. H. DUNCOMBE referred to the abuse of these petitions. He had known instances where petitions had been withdrawn by the agents without the consent of the petitioning parties. He condemned the present Corrupt Practices Act, which he thought rather tended to the conception of corrupt practices than their preven tion. He hoped the Government would do something to get rid of the evils complained of. Mr. SPOONER defended himself from the supposition that he would do anything wilfully that might tend to the prejudging of any case. The document he quoted was in the hands of all the members. Viscount PALMERSTON was quite sure the right hon. bart. (Sir J. Pakington) would believe that he en- Only concurred with what must be the opinion of the whole house, that no member was entitled to more cour tesy and consideration at the bands of the Government than the right hon. bart., especially in reference to the subject with which he was anxious to call upon the house to deal. He elso admitted that the subject of education was one eminently deserving to be taken into consider Won and discussed in a new House of Com mons at the earliest opportunity. On the other band, he wool! submit to the right hon. bart.—who, whatever his anxiety in regard to that question, would, he was sure, enter into the feelings of her Majesty's Government in this regard—that they had as yet made but very little way with the estimates—(hear)—some estimates of con siderable consequence yet remaining to be voted. Be this there were measures of great importance which the Government was desirous to proceed with in order that they might be sent up to the other house in time to pass during the present session. The right hon. hart. had been hitherto unfortunate in the ballot for priority ; but though as yet unsuccessful, he might be more fortu nate before long. All he could say was that he was afraid he was unable at the present moment to offer the right hon. baronet a Government day for his motion. When, however, they had made more progress with the publio business—if the right hon. baronet should be still unsuc• cessful in the ballot—he (Lord Palmerston) would have much pleasure in affording the opportunity he desired. With regard to the question of his hon. and learned friend (Mr. Itoebudk), what he (Lord Palmerston) stated on a former evening was exactly what his hou. and learned friend had quoted. Ho stated that the operation of the act of 1845, in regard to the Brazilian slave trade, was suspended by the mutual consent of the two Govern ments. But if his hon. and learned friend or the house understood that by that he meant to say that the Bra zilian Government consented to the continuance of the act in its suspended state, he wished to correct that impression, and to explain that he used those ex pressions somewhat hastily, and without due considera tion. What he meant to say was, that the act of 1845 was suspended in consequence of communications which took place between the two Governments—that it was suspended by the British Government, in fast, in defer ence to the wishes of the Brazilian Government ; and in consequence of that Government having used its active exertions in putting an end to the slave trade. With re gard to the production of the correspondence, the papers in reference to the Brazilian slave trade were annually laid before Parliament, in which the c orrespondence on the points referred to would as a matter of course appear. But he would not trouble his hon. andbl learned .frien which to wade through the somewhat bulky u e•books th i e n ee the papers were comprised, .but would d h . ave t it t o rrebe s c pondence extracted and printed, an pl-aced in the library. With regard to re the complaint of e return of mem that the right of pet itioning against the the hon. member for St afford, it was unquestionably h true bers of Parliamen t was frequently used for improper i w m e r r p e often oses The hon. gent leman said that charges brought which the parties making them knew to be unfounded, for the purpose of extorting a compromise, or, in some cases, h . e believed, a consider able money payment. No doubt it was so, and no doubt it was most desirable to put an end to such practices ; but on the other hand they had to consijFr the character of Parliament, and they ought not, in order to prevent such abuses of the power given by law, to restrict too much the right of petition'ng, and the opportunities of electors or defeated candidates of bringing before Parlia ment the improper and corrupt practices by which the successful candidates might have secured their election. They would do wrong if on the one hand they too much restricted the right of petition, while no doubt on the other hand there was an inconvenience arising from the power given under the act regulating the trial of con troverted elections, of making unfounded charges :against sitting members. The hon. gentleman, however, should remember that an election petition could only proceed from an elector, or from the defeated candidate him. self ; but the hon.. gentleman complained that b a peti tion had been presented centaicing libelloue— ecauwe he has no remedy accusations, his unfounded charges .against him, and that , that . petition having been withdrawn, o f refut,iendrgro admission p nof th that t accusers, and no means But surely there corals' be no str t o h n e 6 he than character p oi th g e hon.emem charges were unfoureeied peti tion. And with regard to the _ inted with his public career suppose for a moment that he mem ber, one . who was or his private bad been guilty of the 0 Ifenct which bad been alleged against him.the vetttioner was in all these cases But under a certain he was liable to the paytneet w wools itt of all and every expense in curred by the sitting member in conseq uence of the petite on. After all, the remedy was very much in the hands of hou. members tnemselves. It wa s said thatlelection petitions were sometimes presented with the view of extorting money. In s uch cases the els vious duty o ithe member petitioned against was to Lring the fact forward as a breach of piivilege, and as such the house would take immediate cognisance of it he was sure. And in the case of a petition presented to induce . the withdrawal of another petition, if that other petition was well founded why should the parties withdraw it I They 721 if 11i i 100 k 100 1 41 I 69 8i „r r' 1:
