that might be thought invidious ; but this he could
not help saying, that he believed 999 out of every _
1,000 persons in England heartily wished him suc-
cess." Still unabashed, Lord NORMANBY went on
to talk about the cruelties committed by the Sici-
lians on the Neapolitans ! Which stories he be-
lieved much more than those about the Nea-
politan barbarities. But again, the defender
of the gentle FRANCIS 11. and his sbirri gets
his answer. Lord WODEHOUSE " deemed it
only just to General GARIBALDI to say that the
official accounts received from officcers of her
MAJESTY'S navy and from our agents abroad stated
that the GENERAL had behaved with the utmost
generosity and humanity, and that he had
taken every possible means to prevent
such excesses as were always ' inciden-
tal to a state of revolution." Formerly
every Court used to maintain a " fool " to
divert Royalty and its attendants, and things were
often brought to Royal cars by their jests which
otherwise could never have reached them. Ii might
he worth while for all the oppressors in Europe to
keep their man in the English Parliament, if they
could get him there ; since he would draw out for
them plain speeches, which would tell them a little
more than they would learn from the adulators who
surround them,

MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The markets for foreign and colonial produce
during the last few days have not shown much
activity. A fair business, however, has been done
in sugars, the finer descriptions having advanced
about 6d. per cwt. Tea has been in steady demand,
at full rates. In coffee the transactions have been
on a limited scale, and prices have slightly given
way. Rice has been exceedingly dull and at lower
values ; and in spices, drugs, and saltpetre the deal-
ings have been to a moderate extent. Tallow
has continued inactive, quotations showing a heavy
tone for both present and forward delivery.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday,
business continued rather active, and prices were
unaltered. The sales were 10,000 bales. The
Railway Share Market closed with a very ani-
mated appearance, and quotations were again
higher.
Although the rates of discount continue firm, the
market has asssumed a quieter aspect, and the pay-
ment of the dividends, which will commence next
Monday, is expected to lead to increased easiness.
The inquiries for commercial purposes are not likely
to increase at present, the accounts from all parts
of the country reporting continued dulness.
The market for Public Securities continues in a
quiet. state, very little business being transacted
either for money or account. A few dealings have
taken place at previous rates, Consols being 931
for the 10th inst. During the next few days the
settlement will occupy the attention of the dealers
and brokers. The New Threes and the Reduced
are firm at 931 2; India Loan is 104/ ; ditto 5
5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is 961 ; ditto 5 per
Cent., 102, being steady ; but the Debentures have
improved to 962; Exchequer Bills are par to 4s.

27,'E CH-i3JI'ION'S BELT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,--Having seen a statement in your paper this
morning that the belt recently presented to John C.
Heenan at the Alhambra had again come into my
hands, and was detained by me until I had been
paid for its manufacture, I write to request the fa-
vour of you to contradict that statement. My bill
for the manufacture of the two belts was paid on
the 21st June, and I have ceased to have any con-
trol over either of them since the presentation at
the Alhambra on the 30th May, although after the
presentation both belts were returned to me to be
a c
" hall-marked," and to receive their last finish,
which could not have been given to them in the
shortf period of six days allowed me for their manu-
u rseiert?
sir, your and humble ser-
vant,
. C. F. HANcocK.,
