Turkey red dyeing, or to any employment connected there-
with, or necessary or incident thereto, or to the occupier of
such premises, or to the employment of any such child,
female, or young person engaged or employed in any such
process, occupation, trade, business, or employment as
aforesaid.
A short conversation ensued and the amendment was
withdrawn.

Mr. BUCHANAN moved, at the end of clause 1, to add
the following proviso :
Provided also, That nothing in this act contained shall
extend or apply to any premises, either open, inclosed,
or covered, or to be used bona fide for the
purpose of carrying on the process, occupation, trade, or
business of dyeing icy or other colours, or to any employ-
ment connected therewith or necessary or incident thereto,
or to the occupier of such premises, or to the employment
of any such child, female, or young person, engaged or em-
ployed in any such process, occupation, trade, business, or
employment as aforesaid." He said that these colours
were so evanescent that any limitation of time would
utterly defeat the object of the bill.
After some discussion the hon. member withdrew the
amendment, with the intention that he would raise the
question again when the report was brought up.
The clause was then agreed to.
Clause 2, with some amendments, was agreed to, as well
as clause 3. The clauses to 5 inclusive wore also agreed to.
On clause 6 some discussion took place, and
Mr. CROOK explained that it was introduced to enable
bleachers to employ new hands contemporaneously with
those who had been previously employed.
The clause was agreed to, as was also clause 7.
Mr. A. EGERTON moved the following as an addition
to the clause : " Provided also that nothing in this act con-
tained shall extend er apply to any premises used
in carrying on the process of royal blue dye-
ing, or to any employment connected therewith or ne-
cessary thereto, or to the employment of any such child,
female, or young person in such process aforesaid."
The committee divided, and the numbers were—

The house then resumed.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the house adjourned at six o'clock.

1110NEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The enquiry for discount accommodation con-
tinues very active, and if the Russian Loan should
meet with success an upward tendency in the rates
may shortly prevail, notwithstanding the approach-
ing payment of the dividends and the favourable
specie movement. It is expected that the Govern-
ment will introduce a loan at an early date
for the National Defences, if not for the expedi-
tion to China, and £5,000,000 is the amount
which, it is imagined, will he negotiated. At first
a loan in Terminable Annuities was spoken of, but
Consols are considered a preferable medium, and
they would enable the Government to raise the
money required on more favourable conditions.
A call of £2 per share, amounting to £150,000,
is due to-morrow on the Scinde (Punjaub) Railway
shares.

The arrivals of specie this morning have been
extensive, including £224,859 by La Plata, from
the West Indies ; £325,756 by the Vanderbilt,
from America ; £7,573 by the Venetia from Aus-
tralia ; and £26,472 by the Dream; the total
being £652,809.

In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon
no alteration of importance was exhibited.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there
was a large supply, and about 8,000 bales were
disposed of at previous rates. The Railway Share
Market presented a more active appearance, and
prices were decidedly higher.

At the annual meeting of the South Australian
Company the report, which was adopted, stated
that the net income at the disposal of the directors
was £28,557 25., from which theyiecommended that
a dividend be declared at the rate of 7 per cent. per
annum, or thirty-five shillings per share, and that
the same be payable as usual on the 14th of July
and 15th of January next. This, with the years'
interest on the Debenture Bonds, will amount to
£25,817 10s., and will leave a balance of
£2,139 12s. _ _

Tile Market for Public Securities has been ex-
ceedingly heavy to-day, in consequence of large
sales for money, as well as speculative account.
An unfavourable effect has been produced by the
expectation of new loans, in addition to the
Russian operation. Consols are, therefore, very
depressed at 93 for the 10th proximo. The
New Three per Cents and the Reduced are flat at
921 93:7 ; Bank Stock has receded to 229 ; India
5 per Cent. Enlaced Paper to 961 t, and the Bonds
aro lls. to 7s. discount, and Exchequer Bills 2s.
discount.

A moderate amount of business is recorded in
Foreign Securities, and prices show no material
alteration. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 76-1 to 77 ;
ditto New, 591 to 60 ; Russian 3 per Cents. are
steady at 63i 64; Spanish Deferred at 38; ; ditto
Passive at 181; and Mexican at 20321; Portuguese
are firm at 451; Grenada Active are 141. The
New Russ:a Loan is dis. tol prem.
The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 1,1
prem. ; the Thames and Mersey 11 prem.; and
the Universal g a prem.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been
inactive, and the few dealings entered into have
been at lower quotations in most instances. Cale-
donian, Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire,
Midland, and South-Eastern have receded ss. ;
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s. ; Great
Northern, 15s. ; and North-Western, £l.
In the Foreign and Colonial Markets the deal-
ings have also been extremely limited. Pernam-
buco brought 111, San Paulo 11 ft, and Bahia and
San Francisco 74. East Indian have declined to
102, but Great Indian Peninsula remain steady at
100 to 1001. Grand Trunk of Canada have de-
clined to 27 and 271 and Great Western of
Canada to 104 to 10i.

For Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares
there was very little demand, and quotations were
a shade Ratter.
