BREAD.

Mr. BANKES moved that the petition of the Rev.
IL F. Y.-atman, relative to the sale of bread (printed
June 16) be printed with the Votes, which was agreed
to. He said he should call the attention of the House
to the subject to-morrow.
JUVENILE OFFENDERS BILL.

Mr. BANKES inquired if the Louse of Lords in-
tended to insist on the amendments which they had
inserted in this Bill, and when they mLht expect to
receive the Bill itself from the other House.
Sir GEORGE GREY replied that the House of Lords
did not intend to insist upon their amendments, and that
the Bill would receive the royal assent to-day.

The approaching dissolution of Parliament has the
usual (Sect in rendering matters dull in the City, lec-
tionering being most attended to. The contest here,
considering haw slight is the difference of opinion on all
that concerns our fiscal policy, is more severe than was
anticipated, especially seeing the comparative harmony
that has of late prevailed in Parliament. The condi•
Lion of the revenue does not afford much present hope
of further reduction in t!,xation, or modification of duties,
though the growing strength of free-trade principles will
doubtless again afford, ere the lapse of many sessions,
the pleasing opportunity of a further revision .1 the
tariff, desirable in few respects more than in the article
of tea. The trade with China can never be adquately
developed until we are in a position to receive in ex-
change for our goods a larger amount of that article
which the Celestials have the power of supplying, nor
does it appear so far that the ()peeing of the ports has
realised the anticipations formed, and as is generally
inferred, in a great measure on this account.
The sales of Grain in the pr,vincial markets continue
very limited. Last week the quantity of Wheat dispostd
of was hut 31,907 quarters.
The Funds have been flat again this morning, witl
very limited business doing. Consols have been 888
for present transfer, and 884 K for account. The New
Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 904
and the Three per Cents. 88i to 89. Bank Stock is less
firm, at 1961 to 1971. Exchequer-bills have been Bs. to
I ls. premium.
The Foreign Securities have attracted more attention,
and there has been some speculation in Spanish Bonds,
at rather improved rates, viz., 2ia for the Five per
Cents., and 31i. for the Three per Cents. Brazil Stock
has been quoted 841 ; Equador Bonds were 31 a ; and
Grenada, 19:1 to 20. Mexican are rather firmer at
19k. There have been no bargains in Peruvian,
although the meeting of bondholders takes place
to-morrow, in consequence of the information re-
ceived from Lima, that the propositions sent over
by the committee of bondholders for an arrangement of
the debt, and payment of the interest, from the pro-
ceeds of the guano contract, have not been accepted by
the Government, but that an invitation is sent to depute
an English commissioner to proceed to Peru, to confer
upon the terms of an arrangement.
The value of Russian Stock is 112, and of Du
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 57i.
Shares are flat, but sales are not pressed.
