Iconvince England of the advantages of free
exports and reduced import tariffs. We have not
dealt honestly or wisely with our import commerce.
But we are beyond all reproach in legislating for
the free disposal of our domestic products.
If foreign countries would only follow our
example in this respect, what unincalculable
relief they would derive from it ; and if they
were to follow us in our partial and cautious
approaches towards Free Trade, who will venture
to doubt the happy results which would follow ?
A. eery small reduction in their import tariffs
would place them on a level with England. We
sell every thing in this happy land, and few things
are more constantly vended than public
credulity. The British people were promised a
full and complete measure of Free Trade, in-
stead of which, they have only received
moderate reduction of the embar

The steamer Niagara, arrived here this morning
from Boston, has brought 371,332 dollars in specie.
Her commercial accounts Tay, upon the whole,
be regarded as satisfactory, although there was a
little more stringency in the Money Market. The
last return of the New York City Banks showed an
increase of 473,095 dols in loans, and 40,042 dols
in circulation, and a decrease of 1,415,273 dols in
specie, and 3,567,065 dols in deposits. Since this
time last year, the capital of the New York banks
has increased to the extent of 4,800,000 dols ;
undrawn deposits, increase, 7,138,435 dols; to-
gether, 11,938,438 dols; add the loans have
increased, 11,844,347 dols; comparative difference,
only 94,091 dols. The steamship Illinois had
arrived at New York, with 1,649,896 dollars in gold
dust, the produce of California. The total ship
ments of gold dust from San Francisco for the six
months of this year ending the 30th June were :
To New York, 19,796,723 dollars 99 cents; to Lon-
don, 3,815,427 dollars 27 cents ; to Panama, 119.073
dollars 75 cents ; making a total of 23,731,225
dollars 1 cent.

The San Francisco Prices Current of the 4th July,

The condi' ion of the Money Market has not changed in
any material degree since the issue of our last steamer num-
ber. Money is still reported to be in abundant supply,
although there are of course always those, who, from their
inability to present unexceptionable securities, find it
difficult to raise the funds they require. On the whole,
however, we see no reason to expect any pressure in the
market, the more so as with the limited amount of busi-
ness now being done, the demand for money cannot be
very pressing in any event. The Commissioners of the
Funded Debt of San Francisco have presented their
annual report, from which we learn that the outstanding
indebtedness (10 pe: cent. bonds) is at present 1,499 000
dols ; the redemptions during the year have only amounted
to 10.500 dols, which was taken at par, the highest rate
the Commissioners are allo Red to offer holders. The
amount of loans outstanding is 86,049 dots.
According to the monthly returns from the Custom-
house, from the Ist of January, 1856, to the Ist of July
last, the imports of foreign merchandise at New York
amounted to

The advices by the Brazilian mail contain
nothing of striking importance. We have the fol-
lowing monthly review of the Pernambuco export

market :
Sugar.—Priees have maintained themselves throughout
the month, and entries have been next. to nothing; we are
now quite of opinion that the crop in this and the adja-
cent ports are quite at an end ; the stocks for sale to-day,
including whites and browns, are considered 20,000 bags;
prices are firm. Cotton—The prices have been firm,
and towards the clwe the market has exhibited a firmer
tone, although we have had no recent advices to warrant
any rise. Of Paraiba's, about 5,000 bags have changed
hands, but prices not transpired ; and of Maceio's,
about an equal quantity at about 65400 per arroba
In Hides, a stir has taken place, and up 215 rs.
per lb. has been paid here, arid 6sBoo per arroba in out
ports, latter f.o.b. Rum—This article has been in good
demand throughout the month, prices have advanced about
6 per cent.; the entries are very small. Freights—We
have had in consequence of the dearness of sugar and
small demand, only two vessels for sugar and cotton char-
tered, with the exception of two that were taken up for
the River Plate. Exchange—The transactions of the
month have taken place thus : about -4' 31,000 at 27d, 60
and 90 days. and 25,000 at 27id, 60 days, payable in
cash and credit. Discount—The Bank rate has ruled
throughout the month at 7 per cent. per annum ; money is
easy out of doors at I and 11 per cent. higher.
The Funds today slightly improved, Consols
being quoted 958 958 for Account, and 958 954 for
Money. Exchequer Bills were firm, at 8s to 12s
premium. The Bonds were 1004 1002 ; and India
Bonds 9s premium. The New Three per Cents
are 96 to 961; and the reduced, 958 958.
In the Foreign Market there was an extremely
limited business transacted, and prices were with-
out any important variation. Mexican rule steady
at 22i 221. Russian Five per Cents declined to
Ilia. Sardinian were 92k.. Turkish Four per
Cents were quoted 104, being a slight decline upon
previous rates. Peruvian Dollar Bonds improved
I, being quoted 608.
In Mining, Banking, and Miscellaneous Shares
no change of importance took place.
In the Railway Share Market business was very
limited, although prices, in several instances,
showed an upward tendency. The following are
the latest quotations :—Caledonian, 581 581-. Eastern
Counties, 94 10 East Lancashire, 86 87. Great
Northern, 97 98. Ditto A., 82 83. Great Western,

wick, 84 85. York and North Midland, 592 60.

LIVERPOO', BANKRUPTCY COURT.—The Lord Chancellor
has, on the nomination of Mr. Commissioner Stevenson,
appointed Mr. Cornelius F. M‘Cann to be one of the ushers
of the Court of Bankruptcy, Liverpool.
ACCIDENTAL DEATH.—Mary Rourke, the wife of a tailor,
residing in Richmond-row, died yesterday, in consequence •
of injuries she received by a fall which she got down stairs
on Thursday last. An inquest will be held on the body
this day.
THE WEATHER.—As we anticipated in our paper of
yesterday, the weather has again become fine, and the heat
continues as strong as last week, The heavy rain of Satur.
day, we are glad to hear, has not done any serious injury to
the crops. Sunday and yesterday, particularly the latter,
were extremely fine, and there is every reason to judge of a
continuance of hot we ,ther.
INSPECTOR FIELD AT A LLSOP'S WAX-WORK EXHIBITION.
—Every one who had seen Palmer, declared that his like-
ness at this establishment is the best that is extant, and a
day or two since, Mr. Field, the celebrated London officer,
on visiting the exhibition, was at once struck with the exact
likeness of that notorious person, and declared it to be the
most perfect he had ever beheld.—Adv.
SMITH'S PATENT BUOYANT VEST.—There was a public
trial of this important invention yesterday, at five o'clock
in the afternoon, which far exceeded the most sanguine
expectations of the inventor. We may state that a
gentleman, while out in his yacht, was unfortunately
capsized, but, owing to his wearing one of the above vests,
he was rescued, although he could not swim, after having
been in the water upwards of half an hour.
The Boston packet ship, Daniel Webster, arrived at this
port yesterday. She brings cabin passengers as follows :
Messrs. Farnham and Gaw, Miss Harper and Miss Farn-
ham, of Philadelphia ; Miss Fanny Parsons, Messrs. John
M'Gavern, G. P. Realer, and Master Armstrong, of Boston;
Mrs. W. Muller, and five children, of Valparaiso; Mrs. and
Miss Bower, of Canada ; Mr. W. P. King, Dr. Wright,
and Dr. Longstaff, of this country; Dr. Hyde and Mr.
Rennes.
