China freights are very brisk, and several vessels have been fixed at 57s 6d, Cardiff to Hong Kong. Home ward freights do not improve, and merchants are not inclined to operate. Brazils and West Indies: the freights are lower, as a number of large ships have been taken. Mediterranean and Black Sea freights are excited, and higher rates are paid homewards for small ships.

' Gross. Rt Corn Mitt. The Liverpool Corn Market:to- day was tolerably well attended, but Chiefly with buyers on a retail, scale, and the transactions in any description of Wheat have been on the whole unimportant, the large supply of this and other grain; as well as Flour, and the scarcity of storage roam, inclining most holders rather to preis sales from the ship; there was a decline on all kinds of Wheat of ld to 2d per cental, and on Flour, with an equally moderate demand, of 6d per barrel and sack, from the rates of this day se'nnight. Beans were offered rather easier, and we can "scarcely write Saidi Egyptians over 345 to 34s 3d from the quay. Oats and Oatmeal dull, without any change in value. Through forced sales of Indian Corn a good many transactions took place, white at ls, and mixed and yellow at is 6d Per 'qr. less than on Tuesday last. The weather , since Friday has considerably improved, although the temperature is still low for the season ;- a continuance of the present dry weather, if accOmpanied by a higher range of temperature, would quickly produce an improved appearance on the face of the country , and allay, to some extent, the serious apprehen sions entertained for the result of the harvest, but could only partially remedy the injury already done to the grain crops; while, under any circum stances, the reaping time must be protracted to an unusually late period of the season. Influenced by the improvement in the weather, together with good arrivals of foreign Wheat, the provincial markets of the kingdom have ruled dull - np to the close of the week, and an average rednatioil of is per qr. may be noted. At Mark-lane yesterday English Wheat declined ls to 2s, but holders of foreign refused to make any concession. The latest advices by telegraph from New York report an advance in the value of all descriptions of breadstuff's. The trade here since Friday his been without life, no transactions of moment having transpired, and prices are nominally unchanged. The arrivals of the week include liberal supplies of Wheat and barrel Flour, principally from the United States, and of sack Flour, chiefly from Franee. The eiports of Indian Corn are also large, amounting to 52,327 qrs. ; the exports of the latter amount to 5,888 qrs., while of other articles they are small. .

There was a good supply of money in the Stock Exchange, but at the Bank and in the discount market the demand was extremely heavy. No gold was taken to the Bank.—Tintex. The funds were firmer, owing chiefly to the improve ment in the weather. At one period an advance of to I per cent. was attained ; the upward tendency, how ever, was checked by the tightness of the money mar ket, and the closing quotation of consols was only 1-16 to k per cent. above that of Saturday. The demand for money was active, partly in preparation for the bills maturing en Wednesday the 4th, and most of the dis count-houses giving an advance of i to j percent. on . the Bank minimum.

THE DAN'S 'NEWS, In the House of Lords, yesterday, the Man chester and Milford Railway Bill, and the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board Amendment Bill, were read a third time and passed. Earl St. Germains brought up the royal approval of the Berwick-upon-Tweed election commission. The Weights and Measures Bill was thrown out. Lord St. Leonards moved the second reading of the Masters and Operatives Bill, the object of which was to establish courts of conciliation between masters and workmen. Although they could not hope by this means to prevent disputes altogether, they might expect that it would promote better feelings between the two parties. Lord Ravensworth moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six mouths. The Earl of Derby urged the due consideration of a measure so important as the present. No doubt it would require alteration, but it ought to be allowed to go into committee. Earl Granville proposed that the bill be referred to a select committee. Lord Ravensworth having assented to this arrange ment, the bill was read a second time. Several other bills were forwarded. In the House of Commons ; the morning sitting was occupied by the consideration in committee of the Mining Regulation and Inspection Bill In the evening sitting, Mr. S. Herbert said, as the raising of volunteer corps was attended with great expense, militia or yeomanry officers incurring this expense might receive volunteer .commissions; but if the force • was called out, they must choose to which they would belong. Colonel Lindsay moved for a select committee to inquire into and report upon the claims of seven major-generals to the pay of general officers, which, after some debate, was carried by 108 to 94. Captain Esmond's motion for a select committee to inquire into the present system of the cadetships Of the royal navy was negatived by 81 to 24. Mr. M. Gibson obtained leave to bring in a bill to facilitate the unship ment of goods, and secure the shipowner's lien for freight. In the course of some further formal business the House was counted out. Notwithstanding the contradictory rumours which have reached us as to the state of Naples, it seems pretty clear that tumult prevails, and that affairs are rapidly approaching a consumma tion. In Sicily the work of revolution progresses. At Palermo the greater part of the bells were being converted into cannon ; and the process of taking up the suffrages of the people was being rapidly forwarded. In Messina it is pretty clear that some awfully bloody work has being going : on. For particulars -we must refer to our latest telegrams. . It is stated that thißussian Go:•ernment has ,earnestly remonstrated.withrthe. Piedmontese on the recruiting (*flied on in the Sardinian States for the army of:Garibaldi, - notwithstanding the repeipd. .declarations that it was without its 'authority. or consent, and that the Sardinian :Governmint had no means of:preventing it. To those declarations, it tvold - appear, the Russian Government gives little credence— : so little that it has announced its determination to withdraw its Minister from Turin and-break off diplomatic rela tions if the practice be persisted in. In the - meantime the French papers have been allowed to touch - on the subject . of Polish nationality, a very serious consideration for Russia. Perhaps the French Government really desires to. see an inftendont Poland as well as in independent Italy. There are some; however, who suspect that Russia and France understand each other well on this point ; that no harm whatever is meant and that if the French press is allowed to discus's so delicate a topic, it is to show the Italians that France does not agree with Russia in these remonstrances. Nevertheles4, it is believed that France would not see with pleasure any further aggrandisethent of Piedmont. A letter from France states that the Emperor intends to place 150,000,000 f. at the disposal of the Minister of Agriculture and Public Works to be expended in the completion of telegrap4ic lines, the restoration of churches and historical monu ments, the rebuilding presbyteries and school houses, the encouragement of sciences, letters, and the arts, the improvement of public roads, rivers, canals, seaports, and lighthouses, and agricultural operations. Rely upon it, says a French correspondent, that my view has been the right one : the Ger man intrigue is not finished. The Emperor of the French knows, as well as we do, that against united Germany,—between which and England an alliance is so natural as to be all but inevi table,—he Can do nothing,--therefore, he will, from this moment forwards, work at the process of disuniting. The German press is just now, I again- repeat it, the- thing to follow, to read, to study,-and this for two reasons t there is a high, German press,. which is the exponent of what is ihought, felt, and at present planned, by the German Governments in sympathy with the . German people—but there is an inferior' German press that is bought and being bought by the Tuileries. Now if you follow and examine narrowly what is set forth b), these two, you will very easily see what on one side is being aimed at, and what on the other is sought to be resisted. The proof /if any were needed) that . Louis Napoleon is now hard and persistently at work at the achievement of disunion, and that he means, eventually, not peace but en croachment to Germany. The proof of this lies in the determined way in which he makes the. German democratic press (which he has bought). continue its besieging process. But as yet, to its . honour be it said,—the high, and really national press of Germany etioes its duty manfully ; and. so,—be it not forgotten,—do the various German governments and their Sovereigns. Up to the present moment, all is right, that is certain how long it may remain so is still a question. England may do much, very much, towards giving Germany confidence in herself ; -for that she looks to England is undeniable. At the Middlesei July Quarter Sessions, the learned Assistant-Judge, in his charge to the grand jury, congratulated them up . n -the cir cumstance that the number of prisoners to bp tried was so small for the metropolitan county at this period of the year. • The inquest has thrown no light upon the bar barous murder perpetrated at a - village in the neighbourhoOd of Frame. The . body of a child, about four years of age, the son of Mr. Kent, an inspector of factories, was found, in the water closet shockingly mutilated. He must have been taken out of the nurse's room during the night without her knowledge, and murdered, while' asleep. The dreadful affair is at present involVed• in mystery. If the speakerS at the recent meetings held for the purpose of remonstrating against the high price of butchers' meat, says a contemporary, would only look at the reports of prices at the.' live cattle markets, they.may convince themselves that at the present time the butchers, so far from getting 'enormous or extra profits, are gaining leis than usual. For instance, - the best beef at . the New Cattle Market in . London on MOnday last, was quoted at trs id. t 9 ss.' Bd.. per 81b., and. prime mutton was the -same price. The latter price isBld. per lb. ; and whenthe loss and waste in cutting and weighing - out, and the reduced value of the inferior joints are taken into the account, it will be found that the butchers are not a whit better of . than when the; price was 25 per cent. lower ; nor indeed so well, because the sales are less, and the losses in warm weather much heavier. The public must, therefore, rook beyond the retailer for the origin of the dearness of animal food, and there : ie : no difficulty in assigning it to its true cause air., the coldness of the winter and spring . , andAlte: consequent scarcity of cattle food, so that far less than usual have been fattened and brought to market. In addition to this, a vast number'of cattle and sheep have been actuallr starved- to: 'death from the same cause. In Scotland. and: Ireland, and the north of England, the sheep and, lambs have perished by thousandi; and Ireland, the cattle by hundreds, from positive starvation. On the other hand, the importations of foreign' cattle, which, if increased, might have stopped the gap thus created, have fallen - off; so that very inadequate relief has been afforded in . :that direction: The mercantile community have been'thrown into a state of consternation by the announce ment that an old-established firm of leather and hide factors were not in a condition to fulfil their engagements. The depression in the leather trade, principally through the depreciation of stocks, it was known was likely to interfere with the stability of many firms, and might eventually 'compromise some of the largest, but it was scarcely anticipated that this highly-respected honse would be reduced to the immediate neces sity of suspending. It is said that the failure will be for nearly £1,000,000. Of the pro bable dividend no certain estimate can at present he formed, because much will depend upon the realisation of the estate and the debts due from the various houses with which the firm has been associated. but sanguine parties have put it as high as 15s. in the pound, while many. think it not improbable that 10s. may be secured. Both these statements are based upon the circumstance that the private property will yield a considerable surplus for the benefit of the joint creditors. It was roughly guessed, among several of the trade who are deeply interested, that if the complete number of firms who are compromised shall have to succumb the liabilities will in round numbers approximate to £2,000,000. The effect of this shock upon this department of trade will not be surmounted for a long period, even if the divi dends should he satisfactory, and the majority of the operations prove clear from taint. The Liver pool branch of the firm, it is believed, may avoid failure. It must, nevertheless, be extensively involved in the transactions _of . the London establishment. The scene at Wimbledon onlTorid4 is described as more like the hill of Epsom on the Derby day than is usually witnessed on any other public occasion.

BRANCH, Secretary , are the best shots of their respectiVe societies. Immediately after the - preientation of the ad dresses Her Majesty and the Prlice Consort advanced to the rifle tent:.' One light touch on • the string: attached to • the • trigger, and the'first shOt Wits fired that announced the open ing of the competition. The bull's 2 qe was hit at the distance of 400 yards ; the hnllet deviated only :l inches in elevation, and 4.sths of in inch from the direct line. The report of the rifle was followed by a hearty cheer from all parts of the ground. As her Majesty and suite returned to the pa,villiOn a royal salute was fired. The firing was kept up for some time after her -. Majesty left. Of the whole num ber of competitors firing five rounds each at .300 yards distant the following were victors :--4th (Northampton), Sergeant Tomalin, 8 points; oth (Middlesex), Lieut. Dear, 8 points ; sth (Kent), Mr. Edward Pant, 8 points. It is possible to make 15 pOints—the bull's eye counts as three; a shot two feet from the centre scores two points ; hitting the margin round the centre makes only one point. The average number of winners' points will probably be as by Monday's expe rience—a mean from 6to 8. A full account will be - found elsewhere. Six additional gunboats are now undergoing a strict - examination--two of which are the Raven and the Redbreast, built by Messrs. Laird, of Bir kenhead. It will be as gratifying to the people of Birkenhead and Liverpool, as it is creditable to the port and to Messrs. Laird that the two gun-boats launched from their yard have been found to be all that could have been expected—let them have been built where or by whom they might. The other four unfortunately present a lamentable contrast to those of Messrs. Laird's, as will be seen from a detailed statement in another column. , .It appears froni letter .in another column that• the Towri-council are to be 'asked to-day to.. rescind the b:ye;laW - for the early closing of the markets, on tlirgYol!nd of a memorial which was framed, signed, .and,presented before the late improvement came. into „operation ! Our corre spondent must surely be labouring under some misapprehension in making such a statement, for if he be correct, we feel a difficulty in accounting for such a startling phenomenon. Another cor respondent, for whose communication we have no room, insinuates rather broadly that the opposi tion to the improved arrangement for early closing originates with the proprietors and tenants of the public-houses-in the adjoining streets—but of course, we pooh-pooh this coarse suggestion as the least likely thing •in the world to influence any body in so important a 'question.' We have been at some trouble in order to ascertain the actual feeling of the tenants, • and of the public frequenting the markets, in reference to this matter ; and we are bound to say that the eTi dence vastly preponderates in favour of early closing. The only inconvenience, arising is but temporary, and will never be felt by the market tenants or their customers after the' new and improved arrangement is fully know . h, and under stood to be permanent. If there be any true friends of the working-classes in the Council, they may be ascertained by their votes on this question to-day. Everj truly " liberal" member, w ill vote whether " advanced" or " conservative," for the continuance of the new and improve 4 arrangement. RIFLE PRACTICE. RIFLE PRACTICE is, it least, -as essential a part - of a Volunteer's' duty is drill. At Claughtoe, at Chester, in Hyde-park, and on nuinberless smaller occasions, we have seen the hig's . degree of-Terfection our Volunteers have attained in the evolUtions by. which .comPanies, battalions, and brigades, are moved into . the positions they might be called on to occupy in real warfare. This, however, embraces only one half of a soldier's duty: What execution could be done by the best,drilled army of Volunteers if they knew not how to handle their arms with skill and effect Rifle practice and drill, therefore, are only as two halves, each of which - is necessary to make up one efficient whole, and, in the absence of either the other rauSt be set down as Compara tively useless. . -This year we have secured one half of a Volunteer's acquirements ; and there will be little reason to complain if we add the other half in the course of the ensuing year. There has heen no difficUlti in making the first step ; but it „seems there may be some few obstacles in the way of the iicond. These must be overcome, - The point is a vital one, and seriously aftecti the feriianeney: of the whole. movement.

This is only to be acquired by constant practice at the butt in the . several practice grounds. Rifle ranges are essential to the success of the Rifle Movement and must be got at all costs. Not only have proprietors been backward in affording such facilities, but it so happens that the law, as it stands, actually offers further obstacles. In the meantime the question has been universally raised, ought not the Government to interfere to make the acquisi tion of land for this purpose more easy, and to remove certain legal difficulties. We- may rest assured that if the Volunteers are to be efficient . and permanent they must have more facilities for rifle ranges than they at present enjoy. There is another practical consideration which we think ought not to be overlooked. Why should not the Volunteers be very much more liberally supplied with ammunition than they ' are at present. No doubt it redounds greatly to the credit of the present movement that it has been of a self-sustaining character. Pecuniary assistance has not been sought ; and in no case, we believe, has there been any difficulty in finding the necessary funds for all the expenses—and they are not inconsiderable —of the different corps. But why should the expense of the power, ball, an d caps necessary for practice, fall wholly on the patriotic fe w. We may depend u p on it t hat this will, soon er or later, require the atten tion of G o vernment, if the m ovement is to be perpetuated. The requisite m aterials are alread y in the ha n ds of the Government, and they can supply them without Liconvenieiice, a n d at a com paratively trifling cost. Whether or not they they do so wholly without charge to the Volun teers,u to make some t than that at pre it is certainly their d much more liberal arrangement t pre sent adopted. The consequ ence of these hi n d r ances as to rifle ranges and deficient supplies is that instead of all having gone through the prescribed course of training in rifle practice, only a very •mall proportion of our Volunteers have had any practice at all. Some of the best corps, we believe, have not even got through their prelimi nary practice in shooting, and for the time being must continue to trust for their efficiency to a perfectly untrained instinct to supply the place of educated skill. The discouragement which these adverse circumstances tend to produce has a much more adverse bearing as regards the future than the present. Indeed, unless a speedy remedy is applied; the difficulties which now begin to be felt in these matters may end by clouding the brilliant prospects which the almost magical formation of a self-created army has opened up for the British empire. LATEST NEWS. (i BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) FRANCE. PARIS, July 2. Tho funeral of Prince Jerome was magnificent. The ambassadors assisted at the ceremony, and an immense crowd was present. PARIS, July 3. Yesterday the Austrian Ambassador paid an official visit to M. Thouvenel, in order to give, in the name of the Court of Vienna, a verbal reply to the despatch in reference to the annexation of Savoy, which the French Government communi cated to the powers who signed the final act of Vienna. Immediately on the receipt of this despatch by the Marquis de .Moustier, Count Rechberg ascertained by telegraph the views of the Court of Berlin, which replied that it was about to thoroughly examine the question whether, under present circumstances, a Euro pean conference would be advisable, or whether preference should be given to the ordinary diplo matic course, or to direct negotiations between .France and Switzerland. Austria, although ready to assist at a conference, could not take the initia tive, not being directly interested in the question. She, therefore, leaves to France the task of inducing a majority of the powers to agree to one of the three combinations proposed by M. Thouvenel, and accedes beforehand to the decision of the majority. All the theatres will closed this evening, on account of the obsequies of Prince Jerome. A circular has been addressed to the Ministers by the Duke of Cambaceres, Grand Master of the Ceremonies, inviting the functionaries of their respective departments to wear mourning for the length of time and with the changes prescribed for Court mourning.
