ARRIVAL OF THE GUARDS.—The entry of the Guards
into London will probably take place on Wednesday ; but
even now the day is not actually fixed. Neither is the
route through London positively determined on, although
a Horse Guards programme has been published. The
truth is, that Sir R. Airey has contrived to mismanage
this affair, as he has been said to have mismanaged others.
His first intention was to take in a corner of Pimlico—and
even nowithere is not enough of street in the line of march.
The Horse Guards programme will, therefore, 1:0 probably
amended before the day. It is unjust and preposterous
that the Court should suffer in public estimatiol from the
obstinacy and the exclusiveness of the Horse Guards.
When in the face of the enemy it was right and generous
to defend these men in their absence, but they are now at
home, and they must take their own responsibilities upon
themselves. The authorities at the Horse Guards must
put their house in order. The Queen and her people
desire to give a fitting we!come to the troops, and the
Horse Guards authorities are the last that ought to throw
any stint or obstruction to a most perfect development of
the national will. The Horse Guards is the most irre-
sponsible and exclusive of all the public departments.

The steamship Ericesson, of the Collins' line,
sailed from New York for Liverpool four days
before the Arabia, with 201,652 dols in specie.
The Arabia has brought over a million and a half
of dollars in specie. About half a million sterling
of gold is now due from Australia.
The East India Company have raised their rate
for bills drawn upon India to the extent of one
halfpenny per rupee.
In the bullion market prices have remained
nominally without alteration,
Advices received to-day from the Cape of Good
Hope, by the Electra, and dated May 3, state that
up to that period there had been no outbreak with
the Caffre tribes, and nothing of the kind was
expected to occur.
Accounts by telegraph from the Paris Bourse to-
day report no material change in the prices of the
Rentes.

The James Booth has arrived from Naw South
Wales, but she is not believed to have any gold on
board.

Accounts from the Paris Wool Market report a
further lowering of prices, with no disposition on
the part of the spinners and manufacturers to sell
their goods at reduced rates. This, however, is
periodically the case, just about the time the new
clip of wool comes into market. Under these
circumstances transactions are limited, at the fol•
lowing prices :—Choice Merinos, in grease, 2f 45e
to 2f 55c per kilo ; ordinary kinds from 2f to 2f 50c;
Burgundy, choice quality, 4f 50c to 4f 75c; and do.,
washed, from 5f 20c to Of per kilo. _ _ _

The quotations of wheat and flour in the Paris
grain market show a tendency to fall since the Ist
of the month, which is attributed to the favourable
accounts received from the country, and the pre-
valence of flue weather. Rye has been greatly in
demand, and sales for immediate delivery are made
with facility at previous quotations. Barley is not
much in request, and quotations are nominal ;
while oats are greatly in demand, at an advance of
50e upon best sorts. The best qualities of flour
are firm at previous rates, but the retailers are
buying in limited quantities.
Rumours are current with regard to the probable
early negotiation of a new Turkish loan, and
although the terms upon which it is to be taken
are mentioned, it is generally believed that the
statements made are premature. That Turkey,
as well as France and Russia, will eventually
require pecuniary assistance in some shape or
another is almost certain, but it is generally sup-
posed that the European money markets, although
much easier than they have been, are not yet con-
sidered sufficiently favourable by those powers for
such operations. If Turkey asked for a loan, she
would, no doubt, obtain it without the slightest
difficulty ; but it is thought that if she waits a
short time longer, money can be obtained on more
favourable terms than at present.
In London the markets to day have been fluctu-
ating to some extent. They opened flat, the
depressions being attributed to a variety of causes,
such as an unfavourable state of the continental
Exchanges, an increased demand for gold from
abroad, and apprehensions of a speculative mania,
the e'orts to restrict which on the part of the Bank
may tend to keep money at a higher price than its
natural value, these points, of course exaggerated
and made to appear as threatening as possible,
induced a downward tendency; but the real cause
of the depression was the near approach of the
settlement in Consols. The Account is sure to
prove extremely heavy ; and there is a considerable
portion of the House where arrangements would
be better served if quotations were lower than
they are. The depression, however, was but
temporary ; fur before the close of the
business there was a complete recovery,
and the tone was one of renewed firmness.
Consols opened at 951 to 95t ex div. The appre-
hension referred to above, caused a decline to 951
to d ; this price brought in purchases, although
the transactions of the day were very limited and
an improvement followed, which was only arrested
at the close, when the final quotations were 951 to
I. There was consequently an advance of 4 upon
yesterday's closing prices ; the market leaving off
firm. For August, the last price was 964 to
Unfunded Securities were is lower; the premium
upon Exchequer Bills have declined from 21s to
20s. Railways presented much the same features
as Consols. They opened lower, became firm, and
finally left off at fully yesterday's quotations, with
the prospect of a return of the buoyant tone that has
been so obvious during the greater part of the week.
The new undertakings have recovered ; French and
Belgian Shares about the same. Indian maintained
their position. There has been no demand for money
to•clay. The closing prices for Shares were as
follows :—Caledonian, 613 62. Eastern Counties,
10 104. East Lancashire, 86 88. Great Northern,
954 96. Ditto A, 784 704 Great Western, 621 634.
Lancashire and Yorkshire, 984 984 London and
North Western, 109 1094. Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincolnshire, 354 351-. Midland Stock, 844
844 North British, 384 394. South Eastern and
Dover, 754 76}. York, Newcastle, and Berwick,
88 89. York and North Midland, 644.

INDIA AND CHINA.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 5.

The Peninsular and Oriental steamship Indus, Captain
Brooks, arrived here with the heavy portion of the East
India and China mails to-day at 2 30 p.m.
Her dates of sailing are Alexandria, June 21 ; Malta,
June 25; and Gibratar, June 30. . . .

The Indus brings 109 passengers, and her freight com-
prises 840 bales silk; lb packages elephants teeth; 13
bales wool ; and 13 packages sundrirs.
A fearful collision had taken place about three miles off
Tariffa between the French steamer Pamella and the
British barque Queen. The catastrophe occurred about
ten o'clock at night. The French steamer, which was on
her passage from Gibraltar to Rouen, ran into the British
barque, cutting her down to the water's edge, caused her
to founder in about an hour and a half after the collision.
The captain and crew (14 in number) of the Queen, which
was bound from Newcastle to Alexandria with a cargo of
coal and coke, saved themselves by jumping on board the
Pamella. _ _

Her Majesty's ships, Hibernia, Queen, Transit, and
Conflict were at Malta, and the Vesuvius at Gibraltar.
Gibraltar exchange on London at 90 days' 50i.
Freights nominal.
