DISSOLVING VIEWS IN ST.

STEPHEN'S.

A VISION OF THE EDITOR OF THE "STANDARD.',
The Election bustle was past and o'er,
And thronged again was St. Stephen's floor,
Which showed, methought, as in days of yore,
(Days which I fear'd would return no more)
A band of Tories, each brisk as Wrench,
Rang'd in rows on the Treasury Bench,
And looking about them with such an air
So exceedingly smiling and debonnaire,
That my thoughts, which had long been black as night,
Cleared up at once at the cheering sight,
And I capered, and cried with exulting shout,
" Thank God, those infernal Whigs are out !"

'Twas an exquisite View ! the Tory chiefs,
No longer burdened with party griefs,
But impressed with a sunny sense of duty,
Formed a striking foreground full of beauty,
While the Sibthorpes and Bens with their beards

grotesque,
Formed a background still more picturesque.

But, alas ! while I gazed with delighted mien,
An ominous change came o'er the scene,
Which slowly dissolved, like the Views we meet
At the Polytechnic, in Regent-street—
I looked far Goulburn and Peel, but, 10,
They'd both disappeared, like last year's snow,
And where they bad sat, I observed with dread
That Russell and Baring were seated instead !
I looked for Stanley, he too was gone,
Attl his place was usurped by Palmerston !
I looked for Hardinge, but 'mid the rout,
He also had marched to the right-about !
And where Sibthorpe had sat, so famed for speeches,
There sat Muntz in his Dutch-built breeches,
With Dan, the Destroyer, in full-blown pride,
Grinning from ear to ear by his side !
In short, not one of the Tory pack
But was off in (what Colman calls) " a crack,"
Leaving the Whig and Radical crew
To grace together—the scamps !—this new
And unexpected Dissolving View ! !

Shocked at such change, with distracted brain
I cried—for I could not my wrath restrain—
"Oh d—n it, those Whigs are in again !"
Then woke with an asinine bray in my ear,
As the Member for Lincoln roared lustily " Hear !"

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 9.—For the first three
days of the present week the demand for American descrip-
tions was quite as good as last noticed, and an advance of ',id.
per lb. on most qualities could have been readily obtaired ;
latterly, however, the inquirers have decreased considerably;
the sales each day. have been only moderate, and the improve-
ment established in the early part of the week, has again dis-
appeared. In Brazil there has been more doing than for a
considerable period, particularly in Ilaranhams, which com-
mand fully last week's quotations ; the whole of the Peruvians
offered by auction to-day were bought in, scarcely a price
having been named. Speculators have taken 3,000 bales Ame-
rican, and 200 bales of Surat, exporters, 200 bales American,
and 500 bales Pernam.

LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, JULY 9.—The following are
the transactions :—Eastern Counties, Debentures, 6 ; Edin-
burgh and Glasgow, 38i ; Great Western, 20 ; Shares, 10i ;

that he will immediately proceed from Rio Janeiro to France,
in fulfilment of his mission. _ _ _

South Australian Papers received this morning of Feb. 24,
are filled with the details of the seizure of the French ship the
Ville de Bordeaux, by the Custom-house authorities there. It
appears that the vessel, which was from King (seorge's Sound
last, called on her way to ask if any of the merchants were dis-
posed to seil stock. The Custom-hLuse authorities
imagining he had no right to do, or trade in such a manner,
and further suspecting he bad false papers, seized him and put
officers on board; the Captain however did not seem to heed
their threats, and had actually sailed with the Custom House
officers on board. A steamer had been despatched after her
but without success, the dishonouring of Governor Gawler's
Bill upon the Colonial Commissioners caused great excitement
in the colony.
We have nothing to notice of any consequence in the British
Funds, with the exception of some few purchases this morn-
ing, which has caused the Market to remain firm and steady
at the morning's quotations ; the fluctuations have been in
Consols during the morning, 894 1 4, at which they are at
present Reduces!, 894 90 to 4 ; Consols for Money, 11194 ;
Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Reduced, 994 ; New Three-and-

SIIA RES.--Little doing. Birmingham and Gloucester, 61 ;

don and Blackwall, 15 ; North Midland New Shares, 33.
The state of the general produce markets has been more
satisfactory this week, both as respects prices and de-
mend, and it is thought that a brisk trade of a few weeks'
duration would clear the market of all the produce bid-
ders would be disposed to part with, unless at a marked ad-
vance in the quotations. Even now, in fact, prices are
tending upwards.
