The French Three per Cents on the Paris Bourse closed to day 70f. 95c. for the end of the month, showing an improvement of nearly per cent. The Bankers' Circular, of to-day, has the follow ing upon the condition of the Money Market : The great demand for the precious metals by countries like our own, having no native supply, but that which is supported by commercial and fieancial operations, is now keeping the money market in London in a state of constant ferment. A morning cotemporary not many days since announced, with great confidence, that large purchases of gold were being made in the London market, amounting to about £4 000,000 sterling, and that the Bank of France were still heavy buyers. There is, probably. some truth in these reparts ; but they are in many instances very much exeggerated. t is, at the same time, impossible to deny the fact that the gold is bought up as soon as it arrives here, without being transmitted to the Bank of England in very large quantities. We see nothing stran•Ye in this as a mercantile operation, but we simply ask how is it that foreigners can, in the face of the great in the sepplies of gold, beat us as competitors in The answer is obvious ; the Bank of England is not a free agent in its purchases of bullion, and conse quently she must submit to the new state of things. She consented, in order to preserve a monopoly of privileges, to be bound to purchase geld at a fixed rate, and she has at present no alternative but to submit. The public are now be inning to lose their confidence in our being able to retain the gold imnorted to our shores; and as that cannot be eccornnlished, the credit of merchants is censtanly affected by it. During the last few days the pressure for money has considerably increased, and the discount houses have again advanced their rates•of money at a call from 31 to 31 per. cent. In the pjesence of such changrs the Bank of England cannot reduce the rate of interest ; for so long as the with drawal of gold continues to affect its credit as a bank of issue, the commerce and trade of the country must be governed by its influence. Whether the present drain of gold on the Continent will be only temporary, or o therwise. it is impassible to tell. In these times when rapid com munications suddenly affect the prices of every commodity. and control its movements, we do not sea why gold should form an exception. And we again repeat what we hale so often stated, that we can only retain our fair proportion of the produce of the newly discovered mines. Messrs Da Fay and Co., Manchester, make the following remarks on the state of trade in theirldst monthly circular Bath our cotton and woollen manufacturers complain of. the comparatively high price of the raw material. As a rule, it takes a longer time to realise an advance, in prices upon the manufactured artic'e than it does cn the raw material. The smaller manufacturers who have but limited means to fall back upon, feel this state of things s iverely. Our friends abroad must not expect any material reduction the market ? in prices, even should the raw material experience some decline from its present value, which is, however, not likely to be the case ; prices, on the contrary. are looking upwards. The overland news, which reached us a few days ago, are nct of a very favourable tenor; so fir, few transactions have taken place in our market in consequence, and with the exception of money having become more easy in Calcutta, no change of importance had occurred. The, accounts from this side which had just arrived, were not of a nature to give any impulse to trade, prices had then shown some symptoms of weakness heref but recovered, when discounts were reduced. In China, the insurrection continues, and very little business is , at present done for that quarter. The home buyers show more activity, and the purchases have been larger in the aggregate. Latterly, the Greeks have again come into the markets, and as they are large buyers, the effect of their transactions is perceived in rendering the market firmer and stocks smaller. The printers and other fancy goods manu facturers have been busy latterly with orders for various foreign markets, and we believe the transactions would have been more extensive bad not an apprehension prevailed last month that present prices of textile fabrics could not be maintained, if high prices of articles of food continued. This opinion has proved erroneous, for the tendency is now upward instead of downward. The following. are, the. Goo.tte average prices o f Muscovado Sugar, for the week ending J u l y 29t h , I 856, - exclnsive of Custom's dtities payable thereon, on the imriortation. thereof into Great Britain : From the West Indies 32s nd per cwt ; llauritius 32 s 23d per cwt ; East Indies, 32s 411 per owt; average price of the three foregoing descriptions, 323 6d. Accounts from Hamburg to the close of last The wheat harvest is active in the soath. Next week it will commence in Maine et Loire and Britanny. Through out the west of France the harvest is decidedly above the common, and the quality of the wheat generally excellent, had the great heat following the rains at the end of May not overheated the ears, which will cause a mixture of poor and seared grain in very near all the produce of the west and south. Rye and oats have srffered much more than wheat. Oats, hardly so abundant as last year, are of an inferior quality, and weigh less; but barley and bears yield a good c , op. They would have been still more abundant, but for the dry weather we have had during the last six weeks,—a drought that will hurt sensibly the yield of the potatoes. Flaxseed has recovered in the Vendee. The islands of the Loire, after the inundations, have no sanely. These inundations have destroyed in the valley of the Loire all the hemp and beans. They have sowed a second time, but the dry weather gives but little hope of a plentiful crop. The first crop of hay has been lost in the low meadows, and the high meadows have not given as much as was expected. Forage will be dear. Millet and buck wheat, and other autumn crops, have suffered in the absence of rain, but the dry times are already very favourable to vines in the north and east; from their appearance, we exp ct a vintage simi lar to 1851. It is the same in Anjou. The reason wines still keep so dear is because of the unfavourable news from the south. Last year, as soon as the threshing of wheat proved its bad quality and light weight in the west and one part of the north of France, the country was thrown into a panic, and by consequence prices have risen much more than people were able to foresee, who had calculated with much precision nn a good crop from the neighl , ouring countries and the United States, and on the veritable abundance of potatoes, and all the grains of springtime, in France. This rising kept up even to t‘le commencement of January, but it was Lost in the,first month of the year ; and it was only towards the end of May that the fears caused by the inundations gave new impulse to prices. Those inundations have destroyed the crops only in the low grounds, which are rarely employed for the culture of grain, except in the more southern dis- Webs. The falling of prices proceeds slowly ; there remains a great quantity of wheat of the year 1855 en' unsold, but our prices are kept nn by an incessant de mand from Paris. It is much to be feared that this demand turning prematurely upon the new grain. because of its good quality, will keen the price daring some weeks above a reasonable rate. The crop in Algeria is at lsast ordinary. The Black Sea, so long closed, has important quantities to bring to us. We hear no serious com plaints from abroad, except the ancient king dom of Poland and from some provinces of Prussia. England, in consequence of the development of her agricul ture, may not require her usual supplies from abroad ; and Spain, who, by her proximity to our side, and the goad quality of her produce, merits our serious attention, exports yearly increasing quantities of wheat and flour. The general situation in regard to breadstuffs is therefore much more satisfactory than after last harvest, yet it is not reasonable to believe in a low price, or even a moderate price. The importations which have year of er year be come of increasing importance to us have, notwithstanding the stimulant of rising prices, become more and more timid and limited to operations which are able to be realised almost immediately. It is to be kept in view that the cost of cultivation rises in France—manures are costly—and many new cultures are encroaching on the grounds hereto fore dedicated to wheat ; we have, therefore, BO expecta tion of any great decrease in the price of new wheat below 255. per 21 bushels till next spring, and perhaps we must be' atisfied if they do not exceed this price. We fear that in future France will depend more or less on other countries for breadstuffs. This is now the situation of England, and no one in that country now dreads it since Sir Robert Peel found it the only efficacious means to govern sa fel y ; giving to commerce the most entire freedom in its imports and exports under all flags. He thus saved his country from all inquietude for the present, and all fears for the future, and made England the mart of Europe, and given her com mercial eminence which the geographical position ought to have reserved to France. But how long will it be ere we comprehend in France that foreign breadstuffs can only arrive in plenty when all restriction is removed, and that the more important the-trade in foreign breadstuffs hecomes, our own produce will be more easily and more quickly sold ? The prohibition against exportation affects the price of barley and beans, which are not used for cattle feeeing, and the flour of which we are not permitted to mix with that of wheat. Oats will y ielda, in consequence of the scarcity of forage ; potatoes y a a , crop less than last year, but are of goo d quality. Mn.

Intelligence had been received to the effect that the Russians had established a Camp of 6,000 men on the Inkermann heights. In the lonian Islands th© Consular agencies of the Russian Government had been re-established. FRIDAY EVENINCI. Marshal Pelissier disembarked at Marseilles yesterday from the Roland. The authorities received him with most distinguished honours. A grand banquet is to celebrate his return to France to-morrow (Sunday), at which the. Marshal will be present. _ The Journal des Debats takes the same view of the late ministerial change in Spain as the Moniteur, and contends that it was not at all affected by a coup d'etat but in strict conformity with the prero gative of , the crown. The Union is of opinion that the O'Donnell ministry will not be of long duration. It admits that he holds power—dictatorial power—at the present moment, but while that continues Spain cannot possess constitutional government. He rules not in the affections of the people, and is beloved by no political section whatever; He is an isolated victor—a chief without an army—an administrator without a party. There is much force and truth in the foregoing remarks. The Exhibition Palace Company's last report shows a deficit of 3,673,644 f—a pretty clear proof that the building, as a commercial speculation, will not pay. The Government have offered to purchase it upon certain conditions,. which the directors recommend the shareholders to accept, but the latter desire further time to consider the terms proposed. The weather was exceedingly hot in Paris yester day, which,' from its oppressiveness, rendered locomotion exceedingly difficult.

THE AFFAIRS OF SPAIN SURRENDER OF SARAGOSSA The intellicence from Spain is important. Gen. Falcon and the insurgents of Saragossa have at length submitted to the Government authorities, this event having taken place on Friday afternoon, at half-past ono o'clock, when General Dulee and the Royal troops under his command entered the city and took possession. The terms upon which the surrender took place have not yet reached us, but they are supposed to have been entirely of an unconditional character. The Saragossian rebels having yielded to the Queen's ministers, the insur ; rection may be said to, be everywhere at an end for no other city will be found to hold out longer when the before-named fact becomes generally known. The Moniteur of Saturday, in confirmation of the above, publishes the following despatch : MADRID. August 1. Saragossa has submitted. General Dulce entered the city this day at half-past one o'clock. The Peninsula is throughout tranquil. The accounts which is given by the Madrid Gazette of the numbers of killed and wounded at Barcelona exceeds the estimates of the Diario and Epoca, which we have already published. The garrison had three superior and eight other officers and thirty-two soldiers killed, and one general, four superior, and eighteen other officers, and 177 soldiers wounded. The cemeteries of Barcelona and Gracia have received the bodies of 244 insur gents. ents To this numb er must b e added those who were buried by the insurgents themselves during the contest, either within the part of the city which they were masters of, or on the ground of the old fortifications. Immediate interment was rendered necessary in consequence of the extreme heat of the weather. The greater number of wounded insurgents still remain in concealment, as only 135 have entered the hospitals. sent rate The Government contract will not support a line The Northern manu- of first class steamsh facturer will not send his goods overland to Southampton, to be shipped fo a sixty days age, while we have steamers which can run the ime distance over sea in fifty-nine days.

The Emperor of Austria will start for that place in a few days. The Kings of Prussia and Saxony will meet at Toplitz their consorts, now residing there. This meeting of the three sovereigns has nn political motive, and is occasioned only by family reasons. Besides the near relationship which exists between the three courts, th.) betrothal of the brother of our Emperor to the Princess Marguerite of Saxony sufficiently explains the meeting., It is said that the.

RUSSIA, The Journal de St. Petersbourg of the 24th ult. contains the official announcement of the definitive evacuation of the Crimea by the Allies.

A despatch dated Berlin, August Ist, states that the supposed determination of Russia to occupy the Isle of Serpents, has caused a great sensation at Vienna.

The Madrid brings forty passengers, £3,19 0 . specie, and a full cargo, On Saturday, in the Southwark County Court, an action was brought by a gentleman named Horsey, against the South Eastern Railway Company, to recover the sum: of eight guineas and fifteen shillings from the defendantsr they having committed a breach of contract in neglecting to convey him and his friends to see the naval review at Spithead. The plaintiff said that in the month of May last he saw advertisements in the newspapers offering to take passengers by rail and boat to witness the great naval review at Spithead. They were headed London and South Eastern Railway, and signed Eboralle, m an- In consequence of that he went to the railway 147, Cheapside, and purchased four tickets, which he paid eight guineas. The plaintiff continued, that when they got to Portsmouth: their boat was loaded, and they were put on board the Princess Helena. She was fitted up for the occasion , There were four or five deal tables. The hold was lined with bunting, and about 12 mattrasses were thrown down' for them to sleep nn..„ Tallow candles hung by ropes, and there was not thb least accommodation. While it Ports mouth he asked leave to go on shore, when the captain said he did not know how long he should-be there, but he allowed them to go ashore, to return by 10 o'clock, which they did. The review was to begin at 11 o'clock. After they got back to the vessel, the directors' steamer passed with another boat, and they followed the Queen about till 12 o'clock. Witness asked to be allowed to go on board the directors' boat, and hailed it, but they would not stop. They were left behind the last steamer, and did not quit Portsmouth harbour until one o'clock. The interesting part of the review was over when they got there. Mr. Pollard, on the pizrt of the railway compan, contended that they had peeormed their con tract to the best of their ability, and the plaintiff had seen the review, although he did not see the Queen pass through the fleet, and that he deemed quite sutScient for them. His Honour said : Assuming the delay of the steamer from the harbour to have been caused by some unavoidable accident, the company would not have been' liable, but it is plain that the vessel was delayed for the' purpose of the company, from their not supplying two' steamers, they supposing that one could do the work. The consequence was the steamer in question was delayed' one hour, and that the most important hour of the day. The review meant the whole review, or, at all events, the Queen's passage through the fleet, which the defendant and his friends did nut see, therefore he must give judg' ment for the plaintiff, with costs. There were five other actions of a similar nature against the railway company , ' in which the judge also gave judgment for the plaintiffs , considering that the defendants had been guilty of gross neglect.
