The behaviour of Al. DE BELEZE, at Ancona, is
described as having been crud in the extreme. That

Panama in the bat boar of Ancona, positively refwed
to afford any assistance, or to grant any refuge to the
Inbabitants, unless they placed the city under

CRIMINAL COURT—(THIS DAY.
„ The June sessions of the Central Criminal Court
-°lll„,*sced to-day.
J-"le RECORDER, in his usual address to the grand
ury,e stated that there were 200 prisoners upon the
„endar, many of whom were charged with offenct,s of
tic,ermus character, but from the nature of the deposi
o-1 it would appe sr that they would have no difficulty
‘4ealing with them. The only case which he more
reillrtieularly alluded to was that of the person who stands
,oftrged with shooting at her Majesty, although there
lno reason to suppose he had any intention of shoot-
eg 's
°r injuring her Majesty, the act committed was an
~,eedioly mischievous and dangerous one, and ought
t,,,,''eet with an eivalent amount of punishment. Under
welickennt statute which, he thought, could not be too
the „ °lvo, it was a misdemeanour, and was liable to
Ileoru.?istiment prescribed for such an offence. The
to Z"r then read a portion of the statute which applied
the de °"e, and expressed an opinion, from the nature of
le deePoaitions, that the jury would have no difficulty

31ONLY and CONLMERCIAL NEVV S.
CITY, QUARTER TO
_THREE.

There was a firm malket for Cotton at Liverpool on
Saturd:iy, and prices of all kinds wet e firmly maintained.
The sales were intimated at 6,000 bales. including 2,000
bales for export, and on speculation.—The mat ket, for
Railway Shares was dull and heavy.
The Corn MArhet is (-lull to-day, at last Monday's
prie, s, but the supOy of Wheat is short.
Three are no late ship arrivals from any quarter to-
day, with news of general interest. The American
steamer is exin.cted to-day at Liverpool.
The ru ports are more favourable to-day from most of
the Continental money market:. There was a good
business doing at Amsterdam in the Dutch Two-and-a-
1-10f rer Cents. yesterday, the closing price being 49.
Austrian bonds were in more request; Mexican ad-
vanced, and French Stocks were decidedly lower. The
Berlin Ahrket on the ith instant was in a very favour-
able state, and prices improved. Business was very
animated. At Vienna, on the sth instant, the funds
were firm, and from Paris we have higher quotations.
Generally we fin.l a better feeling prevailing in City
circle-, sail should the Roman atra,r be settled, there
would, no doubt, be an improvement. As regards busi-
ness prospects, they necessarily hinge upon the state of
politics and of the Money Market, and there is at home
nothing di,c,oraging in either. In the Cotton menu.
factoring districts there has been a fair business doing

recently.
From Birmingham we are advised, in Aria's Gazette,
upon the state of the iron trade as folloes :
" 'I he depression in every branch of this trade still
coreinues, nor has the declared reduction of 20s. in
price been followed by the slightest revival of demand.
On the contrary, it seems to have had a prejudicial
effe ct, and, combined with the astounding disclosures
that sal, s of manufactured iron had been previously
made from 20a to 30s. below the nominal rates, and
that good mine pigs were in the market uuder 31. per
ton, has done much to impair general confidence
and to prostrate any expectation of an early
revival of business. The workmen, as was ex-
pected, have quietly acceded to the proposed
reductions in their wages, and, doubtless, would
be quite satisfied could they be assured that the present
rates would be permanent, with a sufficiency of employ-
ment. The latter, however, is becoming very precari-
ous. Several furnaces is the neighbourhood of Wolver-
hampton have already been put. out of blast, and the
amount of work done in mills aild forges has been con-
siderably re due. d. Many others are preparing to re-
sort to the same alts mauve rather than lock up their
capital in large accumulations ut stock, from which the
probability of again realising a profit seems indefinitely
remote. The cause of this unexpected stagnation is by
some referred to the interruption of our commercial re-
lations with Austria, Germany, and other States on the
Continent ; by others, to the unparalleled depreciation
ot agricultural produce at home, and the destruction of
our colonial interests. These, no doubt, are active
agents, but it should nut ba forgotten that a great error
has been fallen into by the iron-masters themselves.
Attention has been repeatedly called to the anomalous
exhibition of a continually-increased production, by the
erection and putting to work new furnaces, by the im-
mense enlargeteetet of works, opening of new
mines, and all other preparations for extending
the make of iron, while the sources of consumption have
been gradually, though, perhaps, not quite so rapidly,
contractieg. The results ot this infatuation, aggravated
by the circumstances above mentioned, are now being
developed. In the meantime the dulness has been ete
liven( d by accounts of important deputations to the
Secretary of State, and to the Secretaries of Railway
Committees, and also by a rather personal correspon-
dence containing sarcastic observations, and the expo-
sure of some recipes for ensuring sales, which might,
without much disadvantage, have still been allowed to
slumber in oblivion. This novel method ot puffing is
generally looked upon as rather in/ -a dig., and by no
means calculated to enhance the high position the
iron trade has hitherto maintained in public opinion."
The Funds are looking-up to-day, and the Bank
broker has been a purchaser. As yet there is very
little to justify a positive opinion as to whether the set-
rlerni nt will show a Bull or Bear account. Consuls have
been 911 to 914 torTraneter, and 9 1 to 914 for Account.
The pre-sent values are 91i to 91i. the New Three and-
a Quarter per Cents have been 9(11 to 91, and are now

MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-(MONDAYI)

Ver) limited supplies of all grain of borne produce
reached our market last week coastwise, as we las by
land carriage. From Ireland and Scotland about 5,000
quarters of Oats came to band. Frem abroad we re-
es ived 9.741 quarters of %Vilma, 4.733 oitto of Barley,
27,118 ditto of Oats, 1,245 ditto of Rye, 234 ditto of
Beans, 10 ditto of Peas, 43 ditto of Tares. 11 ditto of
Rapeseed, 54 ditto of Mustard Seed, 850 ditto of Indian
Corn, 62 ditto of sundry Seeds, and 1 704 sacks of Flour.
Letters from the Continent state that the supplies of
Wheat and Flour offering in the various markets con-
tinue large. Rather extensive quantities have been
purchased in France, Holland, and Belgium for shipment
to England, at low prices. The weather has set in
somewhat cold, yet our accounts respecting the
appearance of the growing crops are veay favourable.
The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to this morn-
ing's market from Essex and Kent was very moderate
—that from Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, &c., small in the
extreme. The show of samples of both red and white
was trifling; hence, the demand ler al descriptions ruled
tolerably steady, at prices quite equal to those obtained
on Monday last, and at which is good clearance was
effected prior to the close of business. The g' neral con-
dition of the Wheats was good. With foreign Wheats
we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily supplied.
Selected samples which were scarce sold at fully
previous rates. In the middling and inferior kinds, very
few sales took place, at late curt encies. One or two float-
ing cargoes were taken for the westward, at full prices.
The arrivals, since Saturday evening, have been small.
We had a much smaller show of Barley samples
titan for many weeks past, owing to which there was a
slight improvement in the demand. Grinding samples
were inspired for (chi. fly for shipment coastwise), at
extreme quotations. The value of malting and distilling
sorts was well maintained. Notwithstanding that we
had a very limited quantity of Malt on offer, the demand
for that article was in a very sluggish state, and late
rates must be considered almost nominal. Very few
parcels were offering for forward delivery. Coastwise,
the receipts of Oats have been trifling since our last; but
the importation of upwards of 27,000 quarters from abroad
produced a good show of samples. All kinds met
a slow inquiry, at barely stationary prices.
with Beans we were scantily supplied, and 3 et the sale
for them was in a sluggish state, at unaltered quotations.
The demand for Peas was wholly in retail, at late
figures. Indian Corn sold at very lull prices. Parcels
were taken for shipment to Ireland, at from 32s to 36s
6d per quarter. Flour, both English and foreign, met
a slow inquiry, at our Quotations.
