MONEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoex.
Theta is no appearance of buoyancy in the
Enelish stock market, business being exceed-
ingly limited, but prices have been fairly main-
tained at the rally of which took place yester-
day afternoon. Among the favourable considera-
Itions at present influencing the market are the im-
proved appearances of the weather, as affecting the
, crops, and the satisfactory position of the Bank, as
shown in last night's returns. The approach of
the dividend period also enters into the consideration
of dealers and investors, as cash accommodation will
be more easily obtainable. At Paris the same effect
will be observable from the payment of the dividends
on the Three per Cent. Rentes, which fall due this
day. The attendance of members of the " house"
to-day is very thin ; holiday attractions, including
the Exhibition and the Botanic Society's flower
show, having some influence. The Hebrew members
are always absent on a Saturday.
Consols have been quiet, at 96 to 1, cx div., for
the 17th July. The list of bargains comprises:—
Three per Cent. Consols for the opening 961, 4 ex
div. ' • Three per Cent. Reduced, 97i, ,7; 'fiiree-and-a-
Quarter per Cent., 984, Bank Stock, 212, 4.
The steadiness of the unfunded debt may be taken
as a proof that no additional pressure exists in the
money market. Exchequer Bills 1,0001. mark 425.
and 455. rem;p ditto small, 425. and 465.; India
Bonds, under 1,0001., 525. prem.
The foreign investments are quite neglected, the
bargains of the morning being not more than half a
dozen in number. Prices are nominally quoted at
yesterday's range. The business list is restricted to :
Brazilian Old Five per Cents., Bs. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents., 601. Mexican Bonds, for
account 27th June, 341. Spanish Active Five per

THIS DAY.

Two o'Croca.
The favourable reaction which became apparent
in the share market yesterday afternoon, and which
acquired an increased developcmcnt up to the
close of business, when prices showed a considerable
advance as compared with the first rates of the day,
has again been perceptible in the market to-day,
and, though the exreme rise has not been main-
tained to the present hour, the general feel-
in is decidedly better, and more confidence
is felt in the buoyancy of prices. Nearly
all the descriptions dealt in to-day have realised
higher figures than could be obtained yesterday and
for some days past.
The following are this day's sales :

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY MORNTNR.
The Moniteur contains the appointment of Gen.
Aupick as ambassador to the court of Spain, while
M. de Walewsky, who was previously named to that
post, is appointed ambassador to the court of St.
James's.
The President will open the Tours and Poictiers
Railway on the Ist of July. He will then proceed
to Nantes. The Ist of July not being a fete, and the
Assembly therefore sitting on that day, the board of
the Assembly is not expected to accompany the Pre-
sident
as on the occasion of Dijon. The President is
expected to be accompanied by the Ministers of the
Interior, Commerce, Public Works, and War.
Yesterday the President was present at the play-
ing of the repaired water-works at Versailles.
At the Versailles review on the 28th there will be,
in addition to the garrisons of St Germains and
Versailles, 12,000 national guards of Paris, and the
adjoining departments.
Deputations from the towns of La Rochelle and
Salutes, consisting of the mayors and several mein-
bers of the municipal councils, yesterday waited on
the President of the Republic to solicit a visit on
the inauguration of the railroad line from Paris to
Poictiers. The President regretted being unable to
accept these invitations, but promised to visit these
towns at a later period.
The public is occupied with a new phase of the
Carlier question, M. Lemulier having demanded
authorisation to prosecute M. earlier, the Piefect
of Police, M. Forcade, the editor of the Nessager,
and M. Virenutitre, editor of the Cot-mire, M. De-
belleyme has given the authorisation demanded.
The prefect of police is competent to decline all
prosecution before the tribunals not autho-
rized in the first instance by the Conseil d'litat.
But M. Carlier has, I understand, consented to waive
the privilege, and to accept the summons of the cor-
rectional police. MM. Forced° and Virmaitro will
decline the competence of this tribunal, and demand
to be brought to trial by the Court of Assizes.
The committee on the Avignon Railway Bill has de-
cided to-day, by a majority. of t) votes against t, in favour
of M. Dufaure's proposition for the provisional con-
tinuation of the Avignon Railway by the state until
some acceptable offer should be made by a company.
This morning, after an animated debate, the com-
mittee on the Muncipal Bill approved, by a majority
of 16 against 11, M. de Vatimesnirs report, without
medification of the eulogy of the law of May, and the
municipal institution of the monarchy.
A fictitious story, has gone the round of the papers
about the arrival of Mme. de Boearme in Paris. the
countess has not quitted Belgium. M. Lachaud is
on the point of returning from Paris to Brussels, to
assist Mmc. de Bocarmc in petitioning the King fur
a reprieve for her husband.
The Sentinel& de Tauten of the 17th states that
the yellow fever is raging among the French crews
stationed off the Brazilian coast.

The only speech in the Committee of Revision
worth quoting from the debate of yesterday is that
of Odilon Ilarrot, who attempted to bring over the
republicans to the measure. lie said:

The vices of the constitution are admitted, but it is de-
nied that this is the moment to remedy them. That is the
greatest obstacle to the crisis being passed through without
a catastrophe, and I am astonished at the coolness with
which such an eventuality is contemplated. Foreign coun-
tries arc waiting to see how we get through the trial, and
that is not the smallest cause of my anxiety. lam a liberal
of long standing, and I do not belong to the Bonapartist
party. I have served the government of the President of
of the ltepublic in the interest of France, and it is not
in the interest of Bonapartism that I am anxious for
the revision. My reason is, that I see no other remedy
for the situation. The faults of the government have
their source in the vices of the constitution, which
has placed the President in an exceptional situation.
About the necessity of the revision no ono has the
slightest doubt. Well, then, will you resist the general opi-
nion? I suppose for a moment that you resolve to do so,
and what is the consequence ? That you march towards a
long parliament. But you have neither the vices nor the
qualities of that body. Your divisions and contests are of
daily occurrence, and you would not be able to support
for a single year tho country in front of you. You will
take refuge, perhaps, behind the constitution ? But
you will have behind you an immense administrative ap-
paratus, and when your hour is come will you abandon the
country in its agitation? No, you will be forced to dis-
solve yourselves. And who are they who compose the party
of resistance to tho revision ? Some fear the loss of the
republic, others the loss of the constitutional monarchy,
by the formation of a republican dynasty. Will you have
at the elections a common list? No, you will oppose
each other, and at the last critical moment there will be
only passions upstanding—you will be lost in the conflict.
There are many things which disgust me in the revisionist
movement, for I see little liberalism and little taste for the
representative government. The use which has been made
of that government during the last two years has not pro-
fited it, and the intervention of a constituent Assembly
would be the best means of conjuring away the danger
which a direct re-election may cause to the republic. They
who obstinately refuse that course will bear till the responsi-
bility of their conduct. I said ono day to the monarchy,
" The time to reform yourself is come, and if you do not do
so, you are lest." Well, then, I now say to the republic
that, if it neglects the present moment, which is favourable
to it, its fate will be compromised.

The proceedings of the Assembly, concerning the
Forest Code, were entirely devoid of interest. At
the close of the sitting M. do Vatimesnil laid his re-
port on the Municipal Bill on the bureau of the
Assembly.
M. de Laboulie has withdrawn his motion for pre-
venting the prorogation of the Assembly in conse-
quence of its rejection by the committee of initiative.
The metallic reserve of the Bank of France has
again increased nearly 5 millions in Paris, though
it shows a diminution of about 1 of a million in the
provinces. This discount accommodation has in-
creased nearly 200,000 fr. in Paris, and declined
about a million in the branch banks, the amount
of the former being 38,338,4a6fr., and of the latter
67,348,821 fr. On the side of the liabilities the
notes in circulation have increased 1 a million in
Paris, and declined in the branch banks about
200,000 fr. The account-current of the treasury has
increased 21 millions, the present amount being
119,838,0341 r. Private accounts-current in Parts
have increased 11 millions, and in the departments
upwards of 1 a million, the amount of the former
being 83,384,290 fr., and of the latter 36,280,336 fr.
The whole amount of the metallic reserve is at pre-
sent 3921 millions, to 512 millions of notes in circu-
lation.

The funds, shaken a moment by the desperate
attitude of the Mountain, have recovered all their
firmness to-day. The Fives closed at 9170, with a
rise of 23e. *The Threes rose 15c., and closed at
55.65.

GERMANY.

BERLIN, Jinn 18.

The ministerial print, the Preunische Zeitung, has
at last spoken out on the subject of the convocation of the
provincial and district Diets, and has disavowed all inten
Lion on the part of the government permanently to revive
these assemblies by virtue of their ancient rights. This
disavowal has only come, however, after the resistance the
measure has met with has been so great that the design of
re-establishing the Diets, if ever entertained, has been
shown to be impracticable ' • and the conclusion every one
must naturally draw from the ministerial act is, that the
purpose now disavowed was really contemplated, though at
present abandoned. The cabinet, there seems to be little
doubt, him been "trying on" a great experiment of positive
retrogression, but has found that it cannot go safely on
with it. The embarrassment this failure must plunge it
into must be considerable. The Penguin/le Zeitung, in
the article just alluded to of yesterday evening, acknow-
ledges, that to have called the Diets again into
existence simply by means of a ministerial edict would have
been a very unbecoming proceeding, unworthy of a consti-
tutional administration. If legal, however, this measure
would not have been unbecoming ; and if not legal, the le-
gality of the convocation of the Diet, even for a special pur-
pose, may also be denied. Thus, the government has put
itself in the wrong with both parties. What can it have to
reply to those assemblies who refuse to meet on the ground
of incompetency? It cannot say a mere order from the
Minister of the Interior gives competency—makes law.
And, on the other hand, to those who maintain that the
Diets exist by virtue of former rights, which have never
been abolished, it must answer by .a decided negative ; for,
if not, that is done already, by a simple rescript, which the
ministerial organ declares it would be unworthy of the go-
vernment so to do. Nay, more, the Diets have never been
touched, but have existed as a legal institution during the
whole interval in which they have been supposed to be abro- '
gated. But it is not conceivable that the ministry would
have placed themselves in this dilemma if they lied not,
counting on the support of the privileged landed proprietors,
really de,igned the permanent re-establishment, by virtue
of their ancient rights, of the provincial and district Diets.
This support, it le true, has not in the main failed them,
but the resistance of the presidents and the official class (of
which I might give you many fresh examples every day)
has been much greater than was anticipated • and this it is
that has frustrated effectually the retrogression project.

An ordinance has been published at Altons, which ap-
pears in the l'retiasische Zeiteing of this evening, abolishing
martial law in the upper part of the Duchy of Schleswig,
and promises to do the same in the southern part of that
duchy as soon as circumstances will permit.
FRANK FORT-ON-THE-MAINE, JrxE 19.
The several commissions or committees appointed
by tho Diet are very busy. The first is a general business
committee, whose duty it is to prepare all questions which
are to be submitted to the cngerr-Itath ; it consists of seven
members. Then there is a military committee, a naval
committee, and a financial committee. The two first of
these, but more particularly the military committee, are as-;
sisted by military officers of experience and ability from
each of the federal states, who may, in fact, be said to form
a kind of ministry. The naval committee was appointed
but a few days ago, and consists of four members: they are
Count Thun (Austria), Baron Rochow (Prussia), M.
de Schele (Hanover), and Burgermeister Brehmer (Lu-
beck). All these committctu meet regularly four or five
times a week.

In the general committee of business nothing has been
done beyond what has been already reported. The mem-
bers have, it is true, discussed in an informal manner the
Schleswig-Holstein and Hessian questions; but as the dis-
cussions arose in an irregular manner, they produced no
result, and are of no importance whatever. Both of these
questions have reached a point at which the interference of
the highest German power is loudly called for. The Diet
has bean re-constituted, and there is no excuse whatever
for delaying that interference which was promised by both
I Austria and Prussia, on the part of the Diet, both at
°limit/ and Dresden. The remonstrances of Austria and Prus-
sia have failed to curb the cruelty and arrogance of the Danes
in Schleswig, while both these powers suffer the deplorable
condition of Hew-Cassel to he prolonged without an
attempt at relief. The ridiculous brutality of the Danish
colonel, du l'lat, in Schleswig, was not terminated by the
Prussian protest, as has been stated by the journals of that
country. The conduct of that officer, and the general
policy of Denmark, was so glaringly inhuman and im-
politic that even Colonel Hodges, the British consul at
Hamburg, who was sent by Lord Palmerston to Flensburg
to watch the proceedings of the Assembly of Notables, was
compelled to report to the foreign minister unfavourably to
Inset,' friends and allies. Colonel Hodges's report made its
way to Copenhagen from London, end was, as 1 am assured
on very good authority, the means by which the rescinding
of Colonel du Plat's absurd orders was procured, and that
officer recalled. The Diet looks on quietly, and leaves
foreign powers to interfere in favour of those whom it ought
to protect. It may be answered that the business forms of
the Diet do not permit anything approaching to celerity in
its proceedings, but they do not prevent the initiative being
taken. They may delay a resolution being come to ; but no
more. The absurdest questions can be mooted in the Diet
without notice ; but even the must inveterate enemy of the
popular cause in Hesse and Schleswig-Holstein will not
venture to assert that tt e condition of these two countries
requires investigation. The case is glaring in both, and the
delay of the Diet is inexplicable, unless caused by the desire
to prolong the punishment of the advocates and combatants
for national independence in the one case, and for constitu-
,
tional government in the other. The English government
might speak a word advantageously in favour 'of both.
Prussia is not listened to, and Austria does not care. Her
soldiers arc spread throughout Germany ; they shoot and
murder inoffensive individuals because one of their com-
rades has been beaten in a quarrel about a street-walker.
The power of Austria is permanent ; but the suffering and
wretched are neglected.
The Austrian commander of Altona has consented
to withdraw his troops from St. Pauli, if the Senate
will guarantee the maintenance of order. The same
functionary has insisted on the suspension of the
Hamburg civic guard.
