N MARKET AND COTYIMERCI L INT.ELLIGENCE CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Li verpoo l C otton M ar k e t ex hibit-d a firm appearance yesterday, and last week's rates w ere f 1111 Y maintained. The mica were estimated a t 1,00 0 baleq, 1,500 of which were taken by the ex porters. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices were a shade easier. The advices f rom N ew York by the steamer Ca nada, which brings about 266,0001. in specie, Mate that the prospects of the cotton crop are not Yet clearly ascertained, but it is expected that the final delivery will be delayed. The following re arks ecrthe subject ara from the New York rca 4, The prospect of the growing crop is considered at this period of more moment as affecting value, than the into the ports of a few thousand bales more or : 88 of the present one. The complakts of its backward. "es continue, and it is certain that some parties attach :p n aiderable importance to it as affecting the final de - Ver y, and all assume that we cannot receive any amo unt Within the present crop season, as was at one period calculated on as a certainty by many. The ac counts prted of injury to the crop are so often fabri and magnified by interested parties to accom , 'eh their ends, and we have been so often deceived t0.,3, believing them true of a district or State, Whereas 4 !'eY were only true of a few farms in a particul r see r, that we have been, up to this date, indisposed to en dorse them. We have endeavoured to obtain from all sources opinions on this point to date, and find the blajority to incline to three weeks backwardness on the Zb erage Of seasons. It wou ld no t necessarily follow that ether we " c rop would be either a short or a late one, as the the may yet be so propitious as to bring it up, and• Planting bag been an unusually large one. Public entiment continues to favour a delivery of under ",000,000 bales for the present crop." There was a special meeting this day of the Lon onclerry and Enniskillen Railway Company—Mr. °s B in the chair—to consider "a bill to enable he Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway Company to ". a ke certain deviations and alterations in their 111 . e and 'works, and 'for other purposes connected lth their undertaking." The Chairman moved he resolution, and said the junction would be ad ' autageous to both companies. The Secretary read clan: es. Mr. Laren seconded the motion, hieh was passed unanimously. The attention of speculators in the various de 'aliments of the Stock Exchange, as well as of the hlie generally, is seriously directed to the prostrate 'edition of the Paris Boursa. For a considerable 4131 e past the d ec li n e in tht Renter has con ' ;til led) almost without interruption, and trade is sound, and the - aspect of mo etarY '-affairs certainty more satisfactory than . f ; Was a few weeks ago most persons are at a loss to I nderstand why such an unfavourable movement ;akes place. There is evidently an unsettled feel no ion the Bourse, but whether in connexion with )01itical affairs, or on account of the adverse state bf speculation) and an excessive supply of stock, l is difficult to determine. The difference be- Ween the price of the 3 per cent. Rentea and he 3 per Cent. Consols is nearly 25 per Cent.—a ' isParity which must be anything but gratifying to °Ws Napoleon, the state of the Funds being al aYs considered the barometer of public confidence. f the .depression be attributable to speculative tdluences only, the French market certainly offers 4 attraction to investors, because in that case, a aPid recovery could ba calculated upon, but the eceitain position of affairs and the result of the lee tions will no doubt deter capitalists from pur h i a sieg to a n y considerable eaten t. Th e d ec li ne pith took place yesterday was not so much appa ,ellt in stocks as in shares. Many of the latter were i l i 2 to 15 francs lower, but the Paris dr opped Lyons, and Lyons and Medtterranean „, - °PPed 35 f rancs ,: w hil e th e C re dit M o bilier fell s """ francs. This general weakness tends to depress %Iles here. f r : - :€ 1 Bank of France, it is said, is now obtaining 1 ) , - 1 8 " supplies of bullion, and the next monthly e — allce sheet, t o be published in a few days, will t vrohably show an augmentation in that depart i t'ellt • Some la rge w i t hd ra wals recently took place i,-1:1 co nnection w i t h opera ti ons i n silk, but the re tl)ts regarding the 'crops beine• now more favour , i'e eincreased caution is now observed among the ( L(alers in that staple. 'ther e is still an absence of animation in the market for silver, and until further advices L° doubt India and China are received business will u doubt continue very contracted. It is fully anticipa.ed that the next steamer, viz., on the 20th, \\ill take out a smaller amount than hAs bean dis. I atehed ter sometime past. tMoney is still in"good demand, but there is no re ssure. A sma ll concession is made by the bi l l ( I ()k erS) where the paper is considered of a first ass description. ll,Thursday, b e i ng account d ay, the Market for ~,.I t hhe Securities is chiefly governed by the usual 1 rabgements. The speculators for a rise, who , 4 ve not yet closed, s h ow a di spos i tion to termi lte their bargains, as there is a prospect of lower ' t t ices. If the news from India is unfavourable as roluost likely will be, a decline is inevitable, and ethere is, consequently, very little advancement i?,,!` continue" engagements to August. Consols eve been 921 .1 for special transfer and Thur.'s ec% and 921 i for the Opening. The New 3. per As. were 92 I, and the Reduced also 921 i. a ll i k Stock is 212? t, and India Stock 217.

An important and curious document has been presented to the Home of Commons, in the shape of a report presented to the Treasury by the First Commissioner of Works, in relation to the. present state of the metropolitan improvements under the direction of his department. It appears that on Sir B. Hall's accession to office he found that the following extensive works were then. in hand, viz., Battersea-park, Chelsea-bridge, Chelsea embank menf, and the new street from the new bridge to Sloane street, the Pimlico Improvements, and the new strut from Spitalfields to Shoreditch ; and he therefore dot. rmine3 to ascertain the progress that had been made in them, their present condition, and the sum required to complete them. The Chel sea Bridge and embankment were under the direc tion of Mr. Page. and the other works were under the management and control of Mr: Pennethorne, two of the principal officers of the Board of Works. To obtain the information required bg Sir B. Hall has just taken fifteen months, and from the correspondence—which is printed with the re port—which passed between these gentlemen and Sir B. Hall, it appears that nothing hut the abso lute de ermination of the Chief Commissioner to know what the real state of the works was, could have extracted it. The reiults given in Sir B. Hall's 1-Ater are positively astounding, as showing the difference bee:wem the original estimated cost, the amount a'ready expended, and the amount that will be required to complete them. Sir B. Hall thus writes— "On the 17th of Mardi, 1856, I desired these gentlemen (Mes , srs. Page and Pennethorne) to re port to me the history and progress of the various works at Battersea Park, Chelsea-bridge, Chelsea Embankment, and the new street in connection therewith ; and statements were furnished by them wh;e,h were subsequently praentel to Parliament. Upon consider leg these reports it appeared to me Vett a further and more extended investigation was necessary not only with reference to the Cheleea bridge and embankment, but also the improve ments at Pimlico and Spitaliields. I therefore called upon Mr. Page and Mr. Pennethorne for further information; and I transmit herewith copies of the entire correspondence, so that your lordships may knout the amount of money ex pended up to the present time, and the amount still required to carry out the instructions of the Legislature, and complete the various works in ,progress ; and your lordships will also see the ex cess upon the original and, in some cases, the re vised estimates. I beg, at the same time, to sub mit the accompanying abstract of the correspon dence, from which it will be observed— "l. As respects Battersea-park.—That the sum of 69,9091. 15s. is required to complete the works comprised in the estimate of 1853, and when that amount is expended, the excess upon that estimate w 11 amount to 111,0651. 6ss. 11d. " 2. As regards Chelsea-bridge.---That the sum of 34,5031. 4s. 101 is required to complete the works comprised in the revised estimate of 1852-3, and, when that amount is expended, the excess upon that estimate will amount to 23,7661. " 3. As regards Chelsea Embankment and the street from the new bridge to Sloane-street. That the sum of 26,2891. Bs. 6d. is required to complete the works to the west end of Chelsea Hospital, comprised in the revised estimate of 1852-3, and, when that amount is expended, the excess upon that estimate will amount to 12,5371. "4. As regards Pimlico Improvement.—That the sum of 27,8101► Os. sd. is required to complete the works, accor ;ing to the act of 1853, but until the completion of the improvements, the nature of the lend and buildings to be transferred to the Com missioners of Land Revenue, under the 7th section of the act, and the Treasury minute of the Bth of July, 1853, cannot be asce.tained. If, however, the value should tall short of 51,360/., the deficiency will have otherwise to be provided for. " 5. As regards the new street from Spitalfields to Shoreditch.—That the sum of 12,0001. is re quired to complete the works comprised in' the revised estimate of 1850 and 1853, and when your that amount i s ex p the excess u p on the re vised estimat e a 1850 and 1852 will amount to 20,4 odesfieloidp b ie s closingtyha Parliament, attie a iii islettery above-named - I n a m wm u eer s d works et submit to were Os. 7cl ar . B y and commenced long ant er i or t o t h e p er i o d when I be came first commissioner ; th a t s i nce t h a t per i o d I have avoided giving any dir ec ti ons w hi c h s h ou ld in o any way, directly or indirectly; convey or imply a sanction to any dflparture fram the previous esti mate. My desire has been to wind up these affairs as speedily as possible, and the accompanying cor respondence, to which I particularly invite your lordships' attention, will exhibit some of the diffi culties which I have had to encounter. lam quite sure that the bat course will be to obtain a grant of money for the purpose of closing these matters, and that I should, be instructed to realise, as speedily as possible, the value of the property which will remain at the disposal of this department after the completion of the works. The property is considerable, it comprises about 125 acres at Bat tersea, outside the park, frontages at Pimlico and. Spitalfields, and vacant land on the north ap proach to the brirlge at Chelsea. In addition to these properties, there are contributions to be paid by parties having property near the embankment. It is utterly impossible to give an accurate estimate of the amounts to be realised from the above sources, and which in some cases will not reach their full value until the adjacent improvements are com pleted. The following is a summary of the sums required to complete these undertakings :- 1. Battersea-park £69,909 15 0 2. Chelsea-bridge 3. Chelsea embankment and street 26,289 8 6 4. Pimlico improvements 5. New-street, Spitalfields 12,000 0 0 Total. ...X170,512 8 9 " But whilst I am unable to state the exact amount that the properties proposed to be disposed of may realise, I am confident that, the sum to be received will exceed 170,5121. Bs. 9 . d., and leave a very considerable, surplus t )wards defraying the sum of 200,0001. advanced by the Exchequer Loan Commissioners for the formation of Battersea park. I should have sent this statement to your lordships at an earlier period, but I waited for the award of Mr. Norton, to whom the case as to the value of the proportion of land and buildings which have been aided to Buckingham Palace, was refer red ; this award, your lordships will observe, was not sent in by Mr. Norton until the 19th inst. • (Signed) " B. HALL." EARLY LIFE OF THE REV. G. ORABBE Up to the epoch of manhood Crabbe' s life was almost as cheerless and inauspicious as my own. He fortunately, had a firm foundation laid in better education; had a home to reside in, and parents to resort to for counsel and subsistence. His appren ticeship, however, after leaving that hem s, was like my own, ungenial to his mind; and his masters— coun try.apothecaries—seem to have been ill calcu lated to afford him comfort or instruction. Still he had time and opportunities to read—that never-tiring solace, and cheering occupation—and thus improve and ripen his mental faculties. Not only dissatisfied but disgusted with the business in which he had wasted so much time, he left it at the termination of apprenticeship, and, after lingering hopelessly about his native place, he at last resolved to cast himself on the wide ocean of London, and tempt the fearful dangers that belong to the career of a li erasy adventurer. Here he struggled and starved for a year. During the first three months of his London life he sent manuscript poems to the book sellers, Dodsley' and Becket, which they civilly declined. He addressed verses to Lord Chancellor Thurlow, who informed him that his avocations did not leave him leisure to read verses.' He sold his clothes and his books, and pawned his watch and his surgical instrumeuts. His one coat was gi;s on, wffe after thirteen and was deeply torn, and he mended it himself. Ho was reduced at last to Bd., but the brave m an never despaired. He had astro n n e sensewghobecame of relhi attached years of untiring constancy. His faith and his love held him up, and ke pt him out of degradation. At last he wr ote a letter to Edmund Burke. It contained this passage :—' In April last (1781, aged 30) I came to Loudon with three pounds, and flattered myself this would be sufficient to supply me with the co mmon necessa ries of life till my abilities should procure me more ; of these I had the highest opinion, and a poetical fancy contributed to - ray. delusion.' Burke saved Crabbe from the fate of many a one who perished in those days when patronage was dying out, and the various resources for the literary labourer that now Leloeg to the extension of reading had scarcely begun to exist. Burke persuaded Dodsley to pub lish The Library,' and the Bishop of Norwich to ordain the author without a degree. His lot in life was fixed. Thurlow invited him to dinner, and, telling him he was as like Parson Adams as twelve to a dozen,' gave bum two small livings. He published The Village' in 1783, and The News paper' in 17,85. From that time to 1807 the world had forgotten that a real poet of very original talents had appeared for a short time, and was no more heard 'of. When Crabbe was fifty-three years of age he published The Parish Register.' The Bo rough' speedily followed. His Tales' were in the same vein. Their success was triumphant. The author, whose worldly means were reduced to Bd. in 1780, sold the copyright of his poems, in 1807, to Mr. Murray, for 3,000/.--Autobicgraplty of John Britton. 45. / r r‘ Arz Awn SUN OFFTVE, Seven .'Vlock, NEWMARKET RACES.—(This Day.)

L - )rd COLVILLE presented a petition from Torring ton, St. John's, Norfolk, and also from the parishes of Claverly, Willy, Barrow, and other places, against the admission of Jews into s Parliament.

The effect of the measure was to place Irish peers in a simi lar position as Scotch peers. PRIVATE BUSINESS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following bills were read a second time :—Blyth and Tyne Railway ; IVletropolitan New Srteets and Improvements; Deeside Extension Railway ; Backwater Bridge and Railway ; Manchester Corporation ; and Dartmouth and Torbay Railway.

POLICE (SCOTLAND) BILL. The report of Amendments to this Bill was brougLi up, and agreed to. COALWHIPPERS' BILL. Lord RAVENSWORTH presented a petition from certain persona connected with the coal trade, against the passing of this bill. Lord BINNAIRD rose to move that this bill be re ferred to a select committee, under Standing Order 175, respecting bills for regulating the coal trade. The noble lord said that the coal-whippers were usually employed by persons who had interest in certain pu'Echouses where coal-whippers were compelled to resort in order to obtain engagements. The effect of such a proceeding was, that the men were comalled to spend a large portion of their earnings in drink. The evil increased to such an extent that public attention was drawn to the fact, and the Government in 1845 took the matter up, and a bill was introduced into Parliament to remedy the evil. The bill was passed, but it was ltmited to a duration of three years, but from time to time the act was renewed. In the year 1856 the President of the Board of Trade introduced ano.b er bill, but inconsequence of the oppositi )n of 'certain parties interested in the coal trade, who promised by their con duct to render such a bill unnecessary. The Vice-Pre sident withdrew the bill. The noble lord stated at length the hardships and crcelties inflicted upon the coal. whippers, and concluded by moving for a select commit tee to inquire into the subject. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said that the moti ,n of the noble lord was taut of order, and there fore could not be assented to. With respect to the bill alluded to, he could show that it was a violation of the principles of political economy, of which the noble lord was a great admirer. The case of the coalwhippers had been looked upon as exceptional. Certain evils being pro ved to exist the Legislature sanctioned the bill in troduced by Mr. Gladstone. The noble lord was much opposed to the re-introduction of a measure similar to that of 1845, and believing that no such enactments were now necessa• ry,the (Laid Stanley) was unwilling a ques tion which had last year been settled by common consent existed had considerably abated, and the business con nected with the engagement of the coal whippers was now carried on in a very satisfactory manner. Lord RAVENSWORTH concurred with the noble lord who had just sat down, that the re introduction of the Coal Whippers' Act was unnecessary. [LEFT BITTING.] HOUSE OF COMBION2—(This Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. The Lords' amemdments to the New River Company Bill were agreed to.

PETITIONS. - - - Mr. NORRIS p resen t e d a petition from the manager of the Abingdon Savings Bank, praying the house to take steps to raise the interest allowed to savings bank depositors, last they should be tempted by the high rate of interest elsewhere to withdraw their deposits—(laugh ter)—by Mr. HENLEY from places in Oxfordshire against the divorce bill ; by Mr. EEECROFT from Leeds in favour of the medical profession bill ; by Mr. Weeneems from the proprietors of the South Lambeth Mews, asking for the opinion of the law officers of the Crown with respect to proceedings taken to compel unstamped newspapers to give security. BURIALS ACT A.MENDMENT BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Sir W. JOLLIFFE objected to the principle of the bill, and to the formation of the Burial Boards. He considered it would be distasteful to the people, because not being satisfied with separating paupers during life from their friends, this bill proposed to separate them when dead by providing pauper burial grounds. Mr. MASSEY defended the introduction of the bill, which was rendered necessary to remedy defects that bad prevented the effectual operation of a bill that bad been found on the whole to work successfully. No new principle was introduced into this bill. It only gave facilit es to the present organisation without creating new boards. The provision for pauper burial grounds was only in ca es where large union houses existed, and it had been introduced in consequence of representations made to the Home-office relative to the expense inflicted on small parishes contiguous to these houses, by having to provide burial grounds for the paupers, and also to prevent over-crowding, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY thought that a clause should be inserted granting paupers the privilege of selecting their place of buried.. After some remarks from Mr. SOTHERON, Sir G. GREY said it was inconvenient to discuss clauses out of committee. The object of the bill was only to remedy the present law, and did not give new powers to the Secretary of State. Mr. H. BERKLEY - said his only fear was that this bill would enable persons to make commercial tranaac tions of the dead, and that it did not confer sufficient power upon the Secretary of State. After some further discussion, the house went into committee. Clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to. On clause 3, Mr. KNIGIIT moved a❑ amendment. Too clause p:ovided Er the formation of burial boards on the petition cf nut less than one-tenth of the inhabitants, and he proposed the insertion of words that would enable ltical boards of health to assume the power of burial boards the same as town councils. Sir G. GREY said the clause was inserted for the proteetion of the inhabitants, but he had no objection to the amendment. The clawe, as amended, was then agreed to. Clause 4 was agreed to, with amendments. On clause 5, to empower boards of guardians to fsrm themselves ibto burial boards t provide burial grounds for the paupers, Sir W. JOLLIFEE moved that the clause be tx puc ged. Sir G. GREY said the clau>e was introduced on the representation he referred to at an early period or the discussion. This was not a compulsory clause, but as the committee of jested to it, he would not press it. The clause wa: accordingly struck cut. Causes 6 and 7 were agreed to. Clause 8, providing for the settlement of disputes on questions of consecrated and unconsecrated grounds by the Secretary of State was agreed to. Clauses up to 15 were agreed to with alterations. On clause 16, Mr. KNIGHT objected to the clause, which, was the most objectionable in the bill. It proposed to make the orderd of the Rome Secretary more stringent than at present, ail entaded 10/. penalty fur disobedience. The clause would r.1:o fix inspectors all over the ciuntry fir all eternity. (Laughter.) He mkt d the committee to reject the clauie. Sir G. GREY supported the clause, which was necep ary to pre3erve decency of burial in many joint-stock cemeteries. _ _ _ Sir DE LACY EVANS considered this clause neces sary to prevent the continuance in the metropolis of the abuses and abominations that had been exposed in reference to burial in Joint-fitock Cemeteries. It the committee expunged this clause the bill had better be withdrawn. After some further disCussion, S:r G. GREY con sented to an alteration of the clause, which would make the regulations and orders refer to commercial ceme teries only instead of feu. all the cemeteries throughout the country. The clause so amended was then agreed to. Mr. L. KING moved as an amendment that only one body shoul i be burial in a grave within the metro politan ce.neteries except in family graves, Sir G. GREY said be agreed in the abstract that only one body should be buried in a grave, but he thought it should not be carried out with reference to existing cemeteries. The committee ultimately divided on the amendment. The numbers were— For the amendment Against it Maj ,, rity —lss Mr. MASSEY moved the following addition to the clause :—" Provided also, that each regulations shall not prohibit the burial of any number of bodies not ex ceeding six, in the same grave on the same day in any of the cemeteries mentioned in Schedule B of the Act 15th au& 16th Victoria, chapter 85, or in any ceme tery established in pur-uance of any Act of Parliament, provided that every coffin so buried shall be separated from any other coffin by at least a foot of earth, and be buried at least four feet below the surface of the ground, aid provided that such grave shall be filed in on the day of burial and never again opened until the remains of the bodies buried therein shall be completely decayed. Mr. MILES re2retted that the Government bad charged the number from "four" to "six," as orginally intended, Ile moved that the number be limited to " four." Mr. MASSEY defended the Government proposition on the grouod of vested interests, Mr. CLAY said "six" was proposed to al l ow ceme teries to carry out their contracts with boards of guar dians of buryirg six bodes in one grave.- The committee divided. The numbers were— For the amendment" l3l 131 Against it . . Majority The house then resumed. NEW MEMBER.' Major GORDON took the oaths and his seat for Banff shire. The house suspended its sitting at 4 o'clock, and re sumed at 6 o'clock. [LEFT BITTING.] LONDON GAZETTE —('Phis Evening.) BUCKINGHAM PALACE, JULY 3.
