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 otherwise.
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.

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 safely ; 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 good quality.

The Russian Ambassador had arrived at Con-
stantinople, as well as the whole of the attachees
and suite of the Embassy.
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

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-

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 number must be 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.
