D T p v PA'AE, Y ET • 4. A ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLocK. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there Was an active demand for most descriptions, and at a slight improvement in prices. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales, 1,500 of which were taken by the speculators and 500 by the exporters. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and previous prices were fully maintained The public sales of Colonial wool commenced Yesterday and the attendance of both home and foreign buyers was larger than usual. The bid dings were spirited and the finer qualities of Am tralian and Cape realised an advance of ld. to lid. Per lb., compared with the rates current during the previous series. Owing to the wants of manu facturers both here and on the Continent, and the easier condition of the money market it is presumed that this rise will be support , d. During the sales about 71,000 bales will be offered. In the Foreign and Colonial produce mar kets, this week, business has continued rather quit, and the changes in prices have not been very numerous or important. For sugar t he inquiry has been limited, and in order to effect sales the importers have b'en compelled to submit to reduced quotations. Coffee is abo cheaper, but in fair request. Cocoa is firm, and rice quiet. For tea the demand is restricted, but holders continue arm. About an average amount of business has been done in spices, but it has produced no material change in values. Saltpetre is firmer, and tallow steady. The indigo sales are proceeding with firm ness. Yesterday there was very little alteration. 764 chests were sold, 268 bought in, and 397 with drawn. In three days 1,842 .chests have been sold, 491 bought in, and 2,186 withdrawn, making 4,519 passed and 8,613 remaining of the 13,132 declared. For several months past the Turkish Govern- Meut has been making strenuous endeavours to improve the financial po=ition of the country, or in other words to raise the means to defray its current. expenses. The revenues being insufii , ient recourse has been had pretty freely to the usurious Itoney-lenders in the Ottoman Porte, and 15 to 20 per cent. interest has been paid for the ac commodation. With the view of getting rid of these and other obligations, the Sultan now cora templates the negotiation of a loan in London, and the amount to be asked for is estimated at 5 , 0 00,0001. or 8,000,0001., on a 6 per stock at 82. But if we may judge from the opinions generally expressed upon the subject, the operation will not meet with mush support, for although Turkey may b 3 abla-to pay the interest on her present debt, it may be doubted whether the security she would offer for the payment of the dividends on a further sum would be considered satisfactory. The an neuncement of this intention on the part of the Sultan has bad little or no effect upon the value of the Turkish Securities dealt in at the Stock Ruh ange. The steamer Orinocco has arrived from the West Indies and Mexico, with about 190,0001. This elleply will not be in time for the shipments on the 20th to the East Indies and China. There is a good demand for money at the re duced minimum, but first class bills have been negotiated at 5i and 5i per cent. The Joint Stock establishments only allow 4i per cent. for deposits, and it is therefore expected that many Persons will withdraw their capital and invest it in the Funds. The English Stock Market, though still very va riable, is firmer than it was yesterday. It now !Pricars that there is no immediate prospect of an Indian Loin, and this, combined with the relief n aturally afforded by the reduction in the ra'e of discount, has improved the tone of business. Until fresh Indian news arrives, there will naturally be an unsettled feeling, and numerous unfavourable rumours will no doubt gain currency. It the public purchased for investment, th e y K ould certainly support the market, but these operations have hitherto been limited. The proposed Turkish Loan has not depressed valu-s, as it is not expected to prove successful. Con !„°18 for transfer have been 911 I, and For account 91/ and 911 They are now 911 and 915 / respectively.

India Stock is 215T.t0216, and ditto Bonds (under 1,0001.) 15. I.'" the Wreign Market very few dealings have eeee reported, and the only feature of interest has been the advance in Turkish Bonds. The 6 per vft e i nts • have been 94i, 95, 95i and the present is 102 95/' The 4 per Cents. ' have risen to n ' and Spanish 3 per Cents. to 40k 4.

The Duke of SOMERSET begged to ask a question of the noble lord the Secretary at War, with respect to what had transpired last night.

He wished to know the precise instructions that were to be given to the Commissioners. Lord PANIVIURE said he thought be had stated lset night that the Commission would have to report what was the proper scale for the proposed survey to be made, and not on what scale a „large map should be produced.

The Commission appointed for , the purpose was composed of members of their 1 trd6hipa house and persons versed in the fine arts, and as be was not a member of that commission he coul.l not Rive the noble lord any information. Lord REDESDALE said he was averse tt the expen diture of large sums of money in the purchase of pictures, merely for the decoration of committee-rooms. After a few words from the Marquis of CLANRI CARDE and Lord DUFFEREN. the subject dropped. THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY (CAPITAL) BILL. On the motion that this bill be read a third time, Lord ST. LEOPARDS objected to the bill. b e noble lord entered at some length into the various obj-oo tions he had to the bill, which was one to empower the directors to legalise the fraudulent stock created by Redpath in the Great Northern Railway. The pre ference sharehol lers considered themselves moot unjustly treated by the provisions of the bill. The effect of cutting off an entire hall year's dividend from the preference shareholders, many of whom were female+, whose dependence was upon the dividends they received from the company, woulcl be most distres.ing. He did not think that lb* ordinary shareholder should be benefited at the ex pense of the preference shareholder, and the paving of such a measure as the present would have the effect of generally damaging railway property. The noble and learned lord urged upon their lordships to restore the bill to the state it was when it came from the Howe of Commons, and concluded by moving an amendment to that effect. Lord WENSLEYDALE seconded the motion ; and, in doing so, stated that he was himself a shareholder in the company, but considered that he was not thereby precluded from expressing his opinion on what he con• ceived to be a flagrant wrong. (Hear.) He was of opi nion that the holders of preference shares were entitled to annual dividends on their shares. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER said the bill bad been amended by the promoters, and in its amended form had received tke unanimous sanction of a commit tee of the House of Commons. Out of 6,000 prefersi ce shareholders, only 1,800 were opposed to the bill. The preference shareholders would not stiffer as much as the ordinary shareholders. He believed that the remedy provided by this bill was the one most consonant with justice, and therefore he hoped their lordships would pass the bill as it stood. The Earl of STRADBROKE supported the bill. It had been thoroughly investigated by a committee of which be was a member. Lord ST. LEONARDS said his object was to provide for the legal right of the preferential shareholders here• after. Lord REDESDALE also supported the bill as it stood. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said the bill was founded in justice, and there was no reason why they should place the preference shareholders, as far as lia bility was concerned, on a different footing to the ordi nary shareholders... .. . The house then divided— For the amendment 7 Against it 43 Majority The bill was then read a third time and passed. PRISONERS REMOVAL BILL. _ The Marqui 4 of SALISBURY, in moyiniihe second reading of this bill, said it was intended to give the Fe• cretary of State the power of employing convict labour on the public works. EarCGRANVILLE did not object to the bill being read a second time, but in the committee the Govern• ment would state what their objections to it were, and what mod►fications they would propose in it. _ The Earl of CHICHESTER was understood to sup port the bill. The bill was then read a second time. REPRESENTATIVE PEERS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill went through committee. CROWDED DWELLINGS PREVENTION BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved the recommit ment of this bill. He said that the Lodging Houses Act had been of great benefit in the metropolis. The com missioner of police in hie report stated that the condition of these houses was much improved, and 40 medical men had corroborated that statement. In each of their die tries fever and other abominations that used to exist bad abated. There still remained a number of houses and rooms called tenements, that required to be brought under the beneficial operations of that or a similar act, and it was for that purpose he had introduced this measure. As an instance of the state of these houses be quoted an instance, which he said could be multiplied by thousands. In one room in St. Giles's, which measured about 14 feet square, 27 men, women, and children were found lying together on the floor like beasts, with scarcely anything to cover them but the rags they had worn during the day. The bill created new du ties, but no new powers. If the bill passed he felt cer• tain it would conduce to the removal of a mighty evil. The bill was then recommitted. JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES The house went into committee on this bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR explained that it was based on the Bankruptcy Arrangement Act, and that it was introdusad to remedy the evils found to exist in pro ceeding ag.iust joint-stock companies, as exemplified in the recent failures of the Tipperary and Royal British Banks. The bill then passed through committee. REGISTRATION OF LONG LEASES (SCOT• LAND) BILL. This bill passed through committee. TURNPIKE TRUSTS ABOLITION (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion of Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, this bill was read a second time. ORDNANCE SURVEY. The Earl of DONCASTER moved an address to her Majesty to appoint a royal commission to inquire into the whsle subject of the national survey, and the scale or scales on which it should be made and published. Lord PANMURE concurred in the motion, and dis sented from the statement that had been made ie the other house that the 25-inch survey was a job. The 6- inch survey in Ireland bad been found to be a failure for the purposes for which it was cammenc,d. The cost in the difference of the two scales was a trifle in compari-on with the national advantages to be derived from the 25 inch scale. In consequence of the recent voteol the House of Common , , the Government would only finish the pre sent parishes under survey on the 25-inch scale. The motion was agreed to, and the house adjourned at 5 minutes to 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.—FINSBURY PARE (No. 2) BILL.

TRANSPORT OF TROOPS TO THE EAST. Sir C. NAPIER inquired, if in the event of Govern. ment deciding to send troops to, India by steam, they bad a single screw ship in either Sheerness, Portsmoutit. or Plymouth, in commission, fit to carry troops, and ready for immediate service Sir C. WOOD —Certainly not a single ship. The ships in commission are calculated for home defence, not for conveyance of troops. They are screw ships of the line. SUPERANNUATION ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Lord NAAS asked whether the Government would give a day for the discussion of the Superannuation Act Amendment Bill ? If the noble lord would consent to the second reading to-night, and fix a day for the cons. mitteo, it would be convenient. Lord PALMERSTON replied that it would be im possible to agree to the proposal to read a second time to-night, as a ma t ter of form, a bill the sub j ect o f . which must be th oroug hl y di scussed ; nor cou ld he pro . time a morning silting for the committee. THE INDIAN MUTINY. Mr. VANSITTART inquired whether it was true that the had Lien issued a Lieutenant-Governor proclamation, offering eneorriathg-western pe r t of i all the mutin ee rs w ho might lay down their amne s tyiraie, antd° that the Governor-General had disapproved of the pro• needing, and recalled him I Sir G. GREY replied that such a proclamation bad been issued, and disapproved. It had been recalled, seg r t . he Co is l s v t in e had d w r i s t w h a r l e ; g b a , r i d t hetwhaes i a n s te t r a y w al as b e e t t h w a e t e m n Dept it h Pt re,ligned, or had been recalled; Colvin bad been a useful officer, and with this single ex oeption had given IllAt isfaction. a nd he hoped not, for Mr. EDUCATION. Sir J. PAKINGTON wished to state with referenoe to the resolution of which he had given notice early, that at this period of the session he felt it would be useless ti proceed with that resolution. He should, therefore, as soon as the noble lord could give him a day, move an address for a commission to inquire into the subjeot 01 education. SUSPENSION OF WRITS. Col. FRENCH moved the issue of a new writ for the borough of Galway, in lieu of Mr. Antony O'Flahertys whose election had been dec'ared void. Lord LOVAINE, in absence of the chairman of the committee, moved an ameniment for the s uspension of the writ, in order that the evidence might be laid be. !clothe holm Col.
