COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, JULY 2.
Money Market —There has been a good demand since
the last steamer for stocks, and Federal stocks have im-
proved. At the close, however, they were duller and
heavy. Business generally had been rather more active
of late than is usual at this season of the year, and there
is every prospect of a good fall trade. The country
merchants have arrived in greater numbers than usual,
and have already made their appearance in our dry goods
and grocery stores. The exports during the month of
June were to a fair extent, although the decline in cotton
restricted shippers of that staple. We have reports of
bet a moderate business in all the places for On steamer
of to-day, at about previous rates. We quote bills on
London 104 c. to 10/le. premium; Paris, 505 to 5081;
Antwerp, 5084; Amsterdam, 414 to 42; Hamburg!),
36k; and Bremen, 79i to 794.
Cotton—After the departure of the Pacific on the 21st
ult. some of the better grades advanced ic. per lb., these
being comparatively scarce and wanted for home use, but
for the three past days business has been dull, as is
usual, however, at this period of the season, and the
above improvement has been nearly lost, so that our quo-
tations for the lower grades stand as they did 10 days
ago, but little having been done in them, and for grades
only middling only a trifle higher than they did then.
The total receipts to latest dates at all the shipping ports
are 2,263,466 bales, against 1,981,396 to same dates last
)ear, an increase this season of 282,070 bales. The
total foreign exports this year is 490,136 bales more than
last—say 378,613 bales increase to Great Britain; 32,297
increase to France; 52,114 increase to north of Europe,
and 27,112 increase to other foreign ports. The ship-
ments from southern to northern ports are 121,388 bales
less this season than last, and there is a decrease in
stock of 59,914 bales. The sales for the week ending
Friday were 10,100 bales, and since our last 2,500 bales.

most prominent jobbers from the Western cities are here
ready to examine the market after the 41h, preparatory
to making their purchases.

BOROUGH or FINSBURY.—A meeting of gentlemen
from various parishes in the borough of Finsbury was held,
on Friday evening last, in the board room of the Holborn
workhouse, Little Gray's Inn-lane, with a view to consider
the expediency of adopting some general and united effort
in order to secure to the inhabitants the advantages of self-
government in affairs of a local nature. The meeting was
well attended by gentlemen of influence in the respective
parishes, and a general and strong
opinion was expressed
It
that there were many questions of great cal interest in con-
nexion with the borough which required the constant super-
intendence of some permanent body identified in interest
with the ratepayers and inhabitants. Among these we'e
mentioned the water supply. the proposed vark for Finsbury,
and other sanitary and general improvements The subject
underwent a full and deliberate consideration, and resulted
in the unanimous adoption of a resolution, that it was expe-
dient that an association should be formed, to be called " the
Finsbury Incorporation Association," whose duty it should
be to take such steps as might be deemed expedient to secure
to the inhabitants, by procuring a charter of incorporation, or
otherwise, the advantages of local administration in all mat-
ters which concerned that large and populous borough. A
provisional committee of twenty-one gentlemen was then ap-
pinted to carry out the resolutions, with power to add to
their number, and they were instructed to seek co-operation
and support from all the parishes and associations in the bo-
rough, and as far as possible to see that each part should be
fully and fairly represented in the committee hereafter to be
appointed.

MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR'S SYMPATHY FOR THE
POOR.—In the last number of the Northern Star Mr. O'Con-
nor, addressing " his political children," gives the following
estimate of his sympathy for the poor:—" Do not the work-
ing people of England think that another man in my posi-
tion would have now been a member of the Government if
he had abandoned the cause of the people and gone with that
party who profess to rule the people, but who oppress the
poor? I told you before, that in the year 1833 I was offered
the whole of the patronage of my own county, if I would
support the Government, and not the Irish people. I also
told you before, that in the year 1839, when the Conference
was sitting, I was offered to be placed upon the Bench in
Ireland as a judge, if I would abandon Chartism, but 1 re-
fused is. And now, working man, I repeat again what I
told Lord Edisbery in the year 1833, who was then whipper-
in to the Whigs—' That if they amalgamated all the offices
of Governor-General of India, Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland,
Prime Minister, and Lord Chancellor, and offered them all to
me, that the whole would not bribe me to give a vote in the
House of Commons that was calculated to injure the poor.'"
—Leeds Mercury.

We are sorry to learn that the project of the Duke
of Northumberland, for additional surveys and excavations
in and near the wall of Severna on his Grace's estate, is not
likely to be carried into effect this year. Such works can
only be undertaken and prosecuted in the summer, and this
summer has been and is likely to be so completely occupied
in the metropolis, that it has not been found easy to collect
at Aln ick, even to enjoy the hospitalities of the Castle, a
body of antiquaries and men of science qualified to superin-
tend the progress of the discoveries. The kind intentions of
his Grace were, as we stated, generally made known to most
parties interested in. such inquiries some months ago, and
sundry anticipations of the subject were indulged; but, for
the present, it seems more than rbable that they will be
disappointed. If we are not misinformed, however, the
pleasure is only deferred to a more favourable opportunity.—
Chronicle.

The number of accused in what is called the
Lyons plot is forty-three—of whom thirty-four are in cus-
tody. The trial is expected to begin at the latter end of the
month; it is to take place at the Court of Assize of the
Palace of Justice, before a court-martial. The number of
witnesses to be summoned for the prosecution is eighty-two.
The accused were on Friday taken before the officers charged
to investigate the affair, and all the documents were read to
them ; they were also called on to name the persons they
wished to be summoned to give evidence on their behalf.
The documents connected with the affair are very numerous,
and the trial will oocuPY several days.—Gedirscoei
