SCOTTISH PLEASURE TRIP.—The Scottish pleasure
excursion party marshalled at the House of Lords on
Saturday to view that, beautiful structure, access to which
had been specially favoured through the influence of W.
Gibson Craig, Esq., M.P. The party was highly grati-
fied with the golden and gorgeous edifice. The throne
and the woolsack were objects of peculiar interest, as
also the painted chamber. The party then proct eded to
the House of Commons, and were shown the Ministerial
and Opposition benches, and the respective seats of the
leading Members. From thence the company proceeded
in detachments to see the vaults where the notorious
Guy Faux attempted to accomplish his wicked design,
" the gunpowder plot." The apparatus there connected
with the warming and ventilating arrangement of both
Houses, being the invention of their talented and
scientific townsman, Dr. D. B Reid, were put in opera-
tion, and were fully described by Mr. Stewart, who has
the management of this department.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton market at Liverpool continued dull on
Saturday, at about the previous quotations. Sales,
2,500 bales, incltiding ?,000 bales of American, at eV.
to Bd. per lb.—Railway Shares were drooping, but there
was not a large business done.

Accounts of June 9, from the Cape of Good Hope,
are not so satisfactory as could be desired. The Kafirs
were excessively troublesome near the Goolah heights,
and even where they offered no resistance it was most
difficult to deal with them, since to attack unoffending
people was a most ungrateful office for our brave coun-
trymen. The destruction of the Kraals, and the re-
capture of cattle, appeared to be the only methods of re-
taliation.

The papers and letters from New York to the 19th
instant do not give much news, but the corn-market
was down materially, while nominally the exchange was
more against us. ,
There are more failures in the Corn trade to-day, and
business is very slow. The arrivals of foreign continue
large. A provincial firm writes that—
"As stated in our last circular, the total breadth of
land under potatoes is unusually small; of this the
greater proportion was applied to. the growth of the
early sorts; these have produced an abundant crop, of
fine quality, which has been pressed with much eager-
ness into consumption. The later kinds are showing
the old disease in many localities; but we are still of
opinion that its effects will not prove so destructive as
during the last two years. The dry weather, however,
precludes the expectation of more than -a small yield
from late potatoes; and this, coupled with the great
falling off in the quantity grown, must lead to a con-
tinued consumption of wheat and other grain, upon a
very extensive scale during the coining season."
The Funds have given way again this morning upon
the rather improved values of Saturday, the serious
failures and the somewhat fluctuating state of the wea-
ther serving to check business. We may observe, how-
ever, that money would appear to be easier if we were
to judge by the Exchequer bill market, which is firmfr
at 2s. discount to 2s. premium, but we apprehend that
as yet there can be no general change out of doors, the
failures occurring being calculated to impair confidence.
Consols are WI to 861 for transfer to morrow, and 864
to 4 for account. For the New Three-and-Quarter per
Cents, the rates have been 88i to 88:1, and the Three
per Cents. 864 to 87. Bank Stock is 195 to 197. India
Stock has been at 2401.
The Foreign Market is quite deserted. A bargain has
been effected in Portuguese Four per Cents, at 29. S,•-
veral sales have been made in Dutch Two and a-Half
per Cents, at 564 t0557,-, and the Four per Cents. have
been quoted 894. All the other securities are merely
nominal. Spanish Three per Cents. are called 301 to
31, and Mexican 17 to 18.

Railway shares are flat at about these rates :
Eastern Counties, 184 ; Caledonian, 32,-1 ; Great Wes-
tern, 108 to 110 ; Great Nor hern, 3i ; Brighton,
504 ; Biackwall, 61 to 7 ; North- Western, 170 ;
South-Western, 64 to 66 ; Midland, 1191 to 120 ; North
Stafford, 94 1 ; South-Eastern, 34 to 35 ; York and
North Midland, 83 ; Boulogne and Amiens, 131 to 14 ;
Rouen and Havre 241 to 25 ; and Northern of France,
11*.
