The LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH STOCKS to day' opened with a better feeling, and Consols in a short period improved per cent/upon the last official 'prices of yesterday, but the advance has not been fully maintained, some heaviness being induced by - adverse continental advices, which are, however, of a rather doubtful character, and the market is still in a better position than during the past week. Consols for money are- quoted 94:1 " buyers," and 94t to for next month ; Reduced rhree per Cents. have been dealt in at 93 and 93i ; New Threes. 93 k and j ; India Stock, 211; India Debentures, 98i ; India Bonds under £l,OOO, 10 dis. ; and small Exchequer Bills, Bs. prem.

The four o'clock quotations were i t per cent. above those of yesterday, and at 'a later hour an improvement of k was quoted. In the market for British railway stocks there was likewise a tendency to recover, particularly in the afternoon. .The commereial demand for money was active, and a btiskihrsiness was done at the Bank. The supply in the open ,rnarket has diminished, and the best bills were not taken below 44 to 4) per cent.—. Daily Netts. The funds have experienced less agitation to-day, but prices slide: only a fractional improvement, the market having been undisturbed by any telegrams of importance. The tendency to recovery might, perhaps, have been more distinct bat for the circumstance of the opening prices from Paris showing a further fall. An increased demand for money likewise operated unfavourably. The demand for discount to-day has been larger than of late, and at the Bank a good ,amount of business has been done. In the foreign exchanges this afternoon the Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Paris were about the same as hist post ; the quotations for Vienna and Trieste were again higher, showing a further. depreciation in the Austrian,_ _currency bills on Naples and Sicily were almost unsaleable. About £B,OOO in gold was taken to the Bank to-day. The.ehipments of specie by the Pera represent £243 . 0544, the whole being silver with the : exception of £4,22o.—Times.

Counter-orders ; were sent in all directions to regiments that were on march, or preparing to move;. and - the French troops at Rome, which ' were under marching orders, received directions to .postpone -their departure. The navy of France, too, has been subjected to similar changes of arrangement. A man-of-war and, a frigate were hastily ordered from the Hieres, off the Mediterranean coast, on a sonthern cruise ;,and several French steamers were, with great expedition, despatched from Marseilles and Toulon fort Sicily..' 'The Sardinian 4Government . also moved large divisions of its. army southward ; and Austria-has sent-a squadron to.eruise-off the coasts of Naples and Sicily,—_-not so much, it is thought, with any view of interfering, t present, at least, in the conflict that is raging in the king doni, as of affording a means of escape to the King and royal "thinilY; in the very probable event of their flight from the country. Now that Her Majesty's Government has issued a Proclamation in Ireland 'Warning all .persons coneerned,_that enlistment, exceptfor_the Queen's service, is a misdemeanour, punishable by fine and imprisonment, considerable curiosity is felt as to what will be done in the,case of the equally illegal proceeding, 'in this , country) in favour of the Sicilian - insurrection. • Her Majesty's . Attorney General has declared, in his . pface .in Parliament, " that according to the law of England, any......aubject of the Queen, either directly or indireetly,'SupPlies motley in kid Of the revolt of subjects ,of a power with whom we are in alliance, that. is, an offence against common la*:" Vet, this is what is now being done in London, Manchester, GlasgoW, and other places. Subscriptions are publicly advertised in aid of the revolt of the subjects of the King of Naples, a power with ..whoin we are. in alliance, and to whom, therefore, we are under an obligation to check any such illegal proceeding. As Mr. Whiteside .truly_oliierved of enrnmons on the occasion referred,. to, "the partictilar ehartkeif bt the . koveirinient; by:the. law of nations, is not concerned in the ipiestion it is immaterial whether it be an absolute govern ment or parliamentary government; if they were at peace with such governments—and he hciped that' should be at peace :with all—they ought to treat all governments with scrupulous impartiality , ,• , and good faith." The plain fact of the ifitittei f as the same able laWyer clearly eiplained'ii, is . ".That iid centribiitiori l e i r ,arly body of men in thiS country, to be collected 13y a COnitriittee;Conld be !legal or in, e9nsistence.. with constitutional law, when it was avowed that that contribution was sought for the purpose of overthrowing the go4erriment Of any state With *hick ihey were living oh. terms of amity. ° if even:fiailded jus 7 tire, therefore, is to be done, the proclamation against enlistment . for the . army of the .. Pope, ought immediately -to .be followed by one against tN Elibiaiplionifefiliu'gicilian insurgents. One of Our 'Liberal contemporaries •pcsirits out that ."Jlaring_tlie _present session of Parliainent Lord Derby liar dined four times with the Queen, Lord Palmerston twice, and• Lord John Russell otiOe; " addifig, that "an M.P., who has called attktion - to these facts, thinks them most signi ficnt at the present times .when Lord Derby endorses the motion of Lord Monteagle, Who is a Whig, against the Paper baty Repeal Bill." There can be nodclubt.thiat -such facts are most signifi cant. They shOW niost unmistakeably that the Qiieen holds Lord Derby in higher esteem than either Lerd_Palmerston of _Lord John RuSsell, and that her Majesty has pleasure in "hih company at court, even though he may not happen, unfor tunately for . the intetests of the country, to be in.l hioi office at present. ~ * , There . is no- doubt that, as the quei3tion which th 4 House of Lords will this day discuss, and probably divide upon, is, as the Pinzes has pointedly put it, to be regarded At a time when the whole policy and internal character of the country are turning more and more on the' choice of taxation, the 'Lords are called on to gay whether they have any voice in an operation of which they -may be the chief victims. This - is the qtiegtion - that comes .before the Lords on md n day, and we cannot help feeling that this is the crisis for its decisiOn.". Even upon the Chan-. .cellor of the Exch'equer's own shovcin g , , the financial affairs of the country are pregnant with apprehension. -If we are to have „a Russell- Reform House of Commons, we 4ha.11,.. to a . certainty, Lava wtaxation., ? left ,to ,property since the power of imposing it, otltgiOielp generally, will be left to numbers.

St. Martin's Hail, against any interference by the House of Lords with the repeal of the paper duty. The i noble lord is reported to have patiently listened to remonstrances from several members of the depu tation against the part he had declared his inten tion to pursue on that questidn; but he repeated his determination to support Lord Monteagle's motion against the, repeal; upon financial gEottilds, being more than ever convinced that the country could not afford, at preSent, remit the drat *.'j The mail steamship Africa, from New York, arrived in the Mersey yesterday, with four dais' later news—namely, to the 9th instant. 'There is no political intelligence of any interest to us on ''this side of the Atlantic.

The expec ted total eclipse of the sun; on the 18th of July, was exciting considerable interest, and Cpngress had passed a resolution authorising the employ ment of a vessel to transport not more than five astronomers to some point where the pelipse can be best observed. An important meeting of the ti'verpoOl'6ham 'her of:Commeree, was held on Saturday, of which - a full report will : be found in another column. This meeting was called chiefly for the purpose of considering Lord Monteagle's motion for the rejection of the Paper Duty,Repeal Bill, which, conies on for discussion in the,House of Lards this eN 4 ,ening. The-requisition for thismeeting was at the instance of certain well-known Radicals, who got it up, doubtless, with the view of perverting the influence of the Chamber to political party purposes, in which, however, fortunately for the future usefulness Of this 'excellent institution, they signally failed. The meeting determined that, although the'Consideration of such a ques tion might not, under certain circumstances, b altOg - ether inadmissable in the qlianilier, at pie: sent it was altogether inexpedient to take any action in the matter WhiCh might bettnisconAirjd and abused for merely party purposes.

The Times says that no one knows how soon.we may, have a Douse of Commons interested and pledged to a division of political duties, leaving taxes to property and legislation to numbers. In such a case; all who possess property Will look to fhb Lords, But what if that body should. atready be declared without power to check any financial extravagance This is the opportune crisis for th‘ dismission ,of the ctitestion,:" Vithether' the'Loig have any /mice on the subject of taNatipn.4' DREADFUL OCCURRENCE. 3 , • A report' reached Portsmouth, on Friday, that Ser geant Whitworth, of the Coast Brigade of Royal Artillery, stationed at Sandown Fort, 'hie of Wight, destroyed his wife and 'children that morning , byinearly severing their heads from their bodies, and' after -Wards attempted to cut his own throat, but failed to do this effectually..

'. BETTING HOUSES.-POLICE VISITS. '' ; . The police seem to have been fortified by the letter or communication from the Secretary of State, in regard to' betting-houses. It seems that one of the representatives' of Liverpool, at the request, of a number of Liverpool .electors, " betting men" and . otherwi'se;lial iciad an interview with the Home Secretary on the subject. We have not beard the result, but from what We can learn, it has not met the expectations of the parties interested. Ip is stated; on authority that me dOuht net, that the late affair at the Albion will be bidight before a legal tribunal in some way,or other. On Friday night the police paid visits to several publie-houses iin town. known .as sporting- houses, but they did not offer _to arrest anyone, as there was no betting going ini; There is a great difference of opinion existing on &a point, but how it will end, time alone must prove the arbi trator.

THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY. The following intelligence has been telegraphed from Paris during the night by the Paris corres pondent of the Post :-" The presence of Gari baldi in Sicily is not yet officially confirmed, but is considered nearly certain. His partisans, at the date of .the last despatches, were moving on Palermo, the head-quarters of the Neapolitan forces. No engagement has hitherto taken place between the two. On the Continent nothing of importance has taken place. The French corps de armee at jtorne, which was to have returned shortly, has received provisional counter orders."•- % I The Times says, the private letters from Paler mo reach to the 11th instant. At that date every one was in doubt regarding the prOipects of insur-! reetion, but an opinion prevailed that if 3,000 or 4,000 trained men could effect a landing the Go4ernment troops i woulol be worsted; otherwise, jt was feared the people would ultimately be com pelled to give in.' The troops and, police hadjust fired on the.inhabitants, although the latter were unarmed. [Official.] NAPLES, May 18.

GENOA, May 18. News from Messina, to the 14th instant, states that the commander of .the Piedmontese frigate, Govern°lo, had landed there, and was received with applause. Marshal Riviera had demanded reinforcements of Marshal Rosso, who, being unable to diminish the garrison of Messina, had refused. TURIN, May 1.8. The official Piedmontese Gazette publishes an article refuting the accusation of ministerial con nivance in the affair of Garibaldi. The article says the government has disapproved of the expedition, and attempted to prevent its depar ture by such means as prudence and the laws would permit. The Sardinian ships of war had orders to prevent a landing, but could do no more than the Neapolitan• vessels, which were cruising in the Sicilian waters. Europe knows that the government of the king does not hide its solici tude for the common country ; but at the same time it understands and respects the principle of international laws, and believes its duty to be to make that principle respected in the state for the safety of which it is responsible. NAPLES, May 19, Evening. It is asserted here that the fight at Calatafini was not decisive. The Neapolitan troops re entered Palermo—two columns of 3,000 men each have been sent to pursue the insurgents. It is estimated that 6,000 Sicilians have joined .the PARIS, May 20.

Hugh Crichton, D.D., senior minister .of the church, preached in the morning an appropriate address, in the course of which he iefeired to the long period which the church had been constitu ted, and pointed out the many reasons they had to return thanksgivings to Almighty God for His many blessing's vouchsafed to' thetii. Anniversary seri-ITO - US were also preached at the Congregational Church, 0 xton. • - THE IST LANCASHIRE ARTILLERY VOLUNTEERS.—On Saturday afternoon, the members of the Ist corps of Laqcasliire Volunteers met in full dress at the barracks in Islington, where they were put through their drill. They performed the various evolutions with increased precision and ease. Somewhere about seven o'clock they left the barracks headed by their band, and paraded along the principal streets. As usual, they attracted a great deal of attention from the inhabitants, especially from,the fair ones, who crowded the windows as they passed along. The military bearing of all the men, their steady march, and their soldier-like appearance generally, drew forth unqualified encomiums from all quarters: The music of the -band, too, was unique. The success which has attended their musical efforts speaks w e ll for their taste and ability, and also for the attention bestowed on them by the band master. THE - SCOTCH RIFLES.—The members of this corps assembled on Saturday afterncoa at the store. house, Great !George's-square. The corps after leaving the square .paraded the principal streets in the neighbour hood, and then proceeded to Prince's Park by the new road. The appearance of the volunteers attracted a great number of spectators, who accompanied them to the park. Although this corps has been formed comparatively but a short time, it has made great pro gress, and the soldier-like bearing of the men excited much Admiration. The dress which has been chosen by this company is peculiarly neat, the coat being nearly grey, and the trou3ers a Scotch plaid. Upon entering the park the corps was _joined by several other corn pinite who were present, including the Welsh, the Edge hill, and other corps. The various companies went through their evolutions, and all were so well trained that it would be,difficult to say which was the best. At any rate, the Scotch Rifles, considering the time they have been in existence, were second to none, either as regards app_earance,•numbers, or drill. THE COUNTRY AND TILE HIGH PRICES OF PROYI SIONS.—AII at once we have emerged from the middle of .winter into sunshine. The has been no spring, con sequently all the green things in the garden and the field • were excessively backward, and fears were enter tained •that the year of grace 1860 would be one of scarcity.. Happily these doubts and fears have been drowned at last in gentle showers of rain, and chased away by the genial rays of, the summer sun. The corn fields and the hay fields look quite refreshing ; foliage is in its glory, and the gardens are teeming with all the dainties of the season. The apple trees are covered with blossoms, and' abundant crops are expected. It would do the townsman good to emerge from the smoke and the dust of the town into the country to breathe the fresh air. Notwithstanding, however, the rain and the rays of the sun, the rapid growth of the grass and the vegetable, everything retains an enormous price. There has been scarcely any abatement made in the price of butter. Butchers' meat has even advanced, and all other necessaries of life art sold at very high charges, rendering it almost impossible for the trades mar. and the labourer—especially those who have large families—to live. True, wages are at this time pretty 'high ; had it been otherwise starvation would have been the result. _ _ ~ INSOLVENTS.—InsoIvent debtors heard at Lancaster, on Friday, the 18th of May, 1860, before Robt.

LIVERPOOL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SPECIAL MEETING. On; Saiurda at noon, a s p ec i a l mee ti ng of the Chamber of Commerce was held in their rooms, in Exchange-buildings, for the following objects :—" To consider the motion, of which notice has been given in the House of Lords by Lord Monteagle, for the rejection_of the bill repealing the excise duty o n paper ; and to consider the question of the appointment of a floating Coma' for the East Coast of Africa. There was a numerous attendance. Mr. Tomlinson, the president, occupied the chair; and amongst the othei gentlemen present . we observed—Messrs. Clint, Made, Holland, Bramley-Moore, Sheil, i Fnrivoodo M•CoNuodale, Bond, Spence, Highain, Sh.allefess; Darsic, Gladstone, Cooke ; Wilson, and Lamont: The CITAIRAN said they hid 'icon called 'together in consequence'of a requisition, iiiieh,h6 Called upon the secretary to read.

TIIE ROUSE OF LORDS AND THE PAPER DUTY The CHAIRMAN said the next subject for consideration was the motion of which notice had been given by Lord Montcagle, fur the . rejection,of the bill repealing the excise duty on paper. This question was one that got on rather tender groundS, and one which," according to his notion of the: constitution of the Chamber of Com merce, would require to be treated very carefully; and he toped, in discussing it, that they would keep in view' that the Chamberof Commerce. as instituted for purely commercial purposes; and "all political questions, all questions of party politics, general or local," were excluded. He hoped that the - subject would be epn;l iidered purely in a commercial point of view. They were justiPecl, however, in going into the question. They would remember that at the last meeting they had petitioned the House of Commons, approving generally of the treaty of commerce and the budget, and the peti tion had these words in and 'aim; the suppression of the excise tax on paper, as ri continued recognition of those principles of free trade 'to Which the general prosperity of the country is so largely-indebted!' So that the question might fairly be considered'by the Chamber, Mr. CHRISTOPHER B!JSHELL begged to subet 60 , the clause which the chairman had read did not in day way authorise that Chamber to consider this question; • and althOugh he had properly remsrked it must be considered only in its commercial bearings, he warned the members that they were departing from the strict duties which belonged to them as a Chamber of Com mere. Those who had watched his course during the period he had held office as president would know that he was perfectly consistent in the view which he now took. It was always his endeavour, when he had power. or influence, to guard the Chamber from entering upon - any matters which might be called in question—or upon which there could be any doubt of their right to take up. Now the Chamber had very properly taken up the paper duty while it was a question affecting the commerce of the country. The lower house had passed a measure repealing the excise duty on paper. The matter had novi become a great constitutional question. It was ne longer a commercial question ; it was a question between the two Houses of Parliament—the House of Commons and the Peers. Now he really did not think they were justified—at all events in that stage of the proceedings — in interfering with this question farther; save that it might be just and right humbly to petition the Peers to pass this as a meesuroef great commercial importance , Out of doors, he could understand, the people had the right to deal with it as a constitutional' question; to petition or take any course, they might see fit. He was not going into the merits of the question at all but he believed the repeal of the excise duty on paper was a vexed question : he should not allude to it further than that, because he had no desire to lead to further discus- sion upon it. What he wished to say was, that thought it was no longer within the province of that Chamber, as a Chamber of Commerce. Having dealt with this question as a commercial question,.and carried it up to that point, they had ne longer any right to deal with it; and to attempt to do so would lead to difficulty and danger. The CHALRMAN 'presumed Mr. Bushell spoke to• question of order ? Mr. BUSHELL said he did. Seeing that they lived upon a breath—that they represented the great commer cial interests of the country—seeing that a great differ ence of opinion existed as to the time this tax should be repealed—and seeing also that it had resolved itself into , a great constitutional question, he hoped they would net themselves in difficulty and danger by touching' it further. Mr. HOLLAND said Mr. Bushell having raised a ques tion of order,•he should wish to say a few words upon that subject. He was sure that Mr. Bushell had taken no more credit than he was entitled to for having on every occasion when he presided there or had been present at the meetings, abstained from touching upon topics which, by the constitution of the Chamber , . they were,precluded from touching upon. He thought, likewise, they might claim credit to every member of Chamber for having adhered, without exception, to that very good and salutary rule. He (Mr. Holland) would be the last .man on the present occasion to see that rule departed from in the slightest degree. Feeling that the Chamber depended Upon public opinion for its weight and importance—that public opinion attributed to it perfect impartiality and freedom from all political or party bias,—he felt the great importance of their' adhering most rigidly to that rule. If ho thought for one moment that taking up the question which they were now requested to take up NV is likely to' involve them in anything like a political discussion', he for one should be the very Jest man to advocate it; 'but, having had a very short time to consider hew far it was practicable, as he had only heard of the requisition yesterday—he still thought they might meet and discuss. .this question purely in a commercial and fiscal sense. ' without at' all trenehing upon grounds of a political 'kind, and within -a very limited circle of argument they could arrive at . a mere dry affirmation of what, o n the former occasion, they did affirm. Trusting they c ould ,do that, and feeling they' could do that, and being sal e no gentleman would go beyond that sphere of argument. • . and being essentially a body bound to give expression upon a question which he deemed a commercial ques tion—he trusted that as nquestion of order they should . not be excluded from going into it on the p rogeny occasion. The CMAIRMAN—We have had now the advice of two of our ex-presidents. I think they hive sutlicienLlT, introduced the subject, if Mr. Bushell thinks We carefully go into the question. Mr. BUSHELL thought he was perhaps entitled to It reply. m ight Mr. R. A.
