THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1851.

Navy of Englan.d, simply because that reform
is calculated, we feel assured, to advance their
.-own intarests very ' materially in the • profession.
I After the arguments indulged in upon the subject
here mentioned, the business of the evening appears
to have been got through with some degree of vigour
and promptitude.. 'Amounts of no niggardly kind
were voted for the various departments of the naval
service, not without very considerable grumbling on
the part of the more earnest advocates for a diminu-
tion of the national expenditure. Upon this head we
cannot but avow, as we have repeatedly
done before now, that enthusiastic as we are
as sticklers for economy on the part of
the memliers of the Administration, we
are yet more enthusiastic in maintaining that no pari-
mony should be displayed by the Parliament iu
reference to one branch at least of the public service,
the most national of all professions, that of the mari-
time department, the Royal Navy of England.
Rather than witness any false economy in this di-
rection, we should prefer even some exiravag flce in
the disbursements from the Treasury ; for with all
our sanguine ideas in regard to peace throughout
Christendom, it is to its wooden walls that

the empire has still to look for security. There-
fore it is that with all our anxiety to
witness a reduction in the general total of the
national disbursements, we are upon all occasions re-
joiced to observe an evidence of liberality and even
munificence on the part of the House of Commons in
reference to the maintenance of the Royal Navy.
What is still desirable is not so much a saving in the
naval expenditure, but a more judicious arrangement
in regard to the manner of its distribution. This
reform is still wanting, and for its attainment we
must still look with an earnest solicitude.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
[54% The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The market
closed firm.—Railway Shares were very flat.
In Pater's Telegraph, a journal published weekly at
Boulogne, the following practical information for tra-
vellers is given.--" Passengers can land at any French
port without passports; but before proceeding to Paris,
or the interior of France, the possession of a passport is
124 indispensable. British travellers can obtain passports
for travelling in France, and upon the Continent, from
the British consuls resident at Boulogne, Calais, and
aN other French outports, The British consular passport,
which costs four shillings and sixpence, and which is in
force one. year (twelve months), merely requires to be
vi'f by the police authorities, for which no charge is
made. This passport can be made to include
all the members of a family, and its domes-
tics. Those travellers who obtain from the French
si% consuls resident in England a monthly pass to travel in
9i France, should bear in mind that upon its expiration
they will be required to leave the country or supply
themselves with a regular passport from a British con-
sul. Travellers may also ebtain monthly passes upon
application to the authorities at the French passport-
offices. Travellers landing at Boulogne or Calais, and
intending to proceed immediately to Paris, may avoid an
inspection of their baggage till they reach Paris by
making a declaration to that effect at the custom-house.
Travellers proceeding through Franc© to Belgium direct
will avoid examination by the French custom-house au-
thorities by making a similar declaration as to their
destination.
" The traveller, upon his arrival at Boulogne, Calais, or
other French port, is not allowed to take any luggage
on shore with him save a small parcel; but if ho arrives
at night ho is allowed his carpet bag. His baggage is
removed to the Custom-house for the purpose of being
din' dim, examined, after which he may clear it himself if he
thinks fit, but it is usual to employ a commissioner, who
is °witted to receive for his trouble only that which he
had preciously agreed for. No traveller can be charged
anything for his luggage beyond the following sums,
which include the expenaes of landing, warehousing, and
conveying to any part of the town:—
Packages under 101 b weight Of. 7 sous.
from 101 b. to a cwt.
PP from cwt. to 2 cwt.
„ from above 2 cwt lf. 10 „
"Nothing is due for objects of little weight, such as
walking-sticks, umbrellas, hat-boxes or cases, small
baskets, when they form a portion of other luggage
belonging to the same person or the same family.
Every object or package taken from the warehouse
without being carried home, pays 35c. (7 sous). A
traveller employing a commissioner owes him nothing
beyond these charges but what he may have agreed to
pay him. All complaints and claims are to be addressed
to the agent-general, whose office is on the spot, or by
writing to the President of the Chamber of Commerce.
All articles not being worn, such as wearing apparel,
must be declared at the Custom-house. Travellers not
conforming to this regulation, would incur not only the
% confiscation of the articles not declared, but also the pay-
ment of a fine."

The produce markets have ruled heavy this week,
and there is an increased supply of the principal staples
pressed by the importers. The price of cotton has been
steadier, and cochineal has been in request. Rice has
been firmer in consequence of the rise in wheat, &c.
Sugar has not maintained full prices, and coffee has been
decidedly flat.
The transfer-books being closed for seine of the Eng-
lish Stocks, they are quoted without the dividend,
Consols being 93 to with the dividend, and upon
special transfer, for money; and 961 to 97 without th e
