MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY. Two o'Ctocs. in the Stock Exchange to-day is almost at a standstilL The funds are dull, at yesterday's closing quotations. In the share markets prices are likewise nominally unaltered. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 70fr. 05c., showing no alteration since yesterday. The new Victoria Debentures are steady at 1051 to }. Indian government securities remain steady. Exchequer Bills are flat at ie. to IN. prem. Consols are officially marked 961, and for money, and 941 for the account. The present quotations are 96!! to f for money, and sti to 1 for the 9th of May. The Three per Cents. Reduced hare been dealt in at 931, f, A ; the New Three per Cents., at 934, I, 1 ; India Stock, at 221 ; Indian Five per Cent, stock, 1869, at 106 j, I ; Fire per Cent.

The foreign stock market is as quiet as the other departments of the Stock Exchange. The Turkish Loan of 1858 is rather flatter, at 811 to i , whilst that of 1854 is supported at 76; to 77, ex div. Mexican Bonds remain flat. In other descriptions scarcely any business whatever has been done.

The Aare* of the tuion Bank of Londini have fallen this morning to shout 24 to 27, in con e t'UelllC4l of the frauds just discovered. HALI-PABT Two o'Ciomi. COUXOI6 CI. OW without change, compared with the quotations at 2 o'clock, being quoted 90 to / fur money, and 941 to 1 for the account. Calls to the amount of 7u0,00111. nominally fall due on the 27th inst. on the Jubbulpore and F Extrusion capitals of the East Indian Railway Couipauy, but the stun actually remaining to be paid is only about 120,000 e. A rumour that this company are about to make another large issue of debentures is unfounded. The very moderate and dignified observa tions made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer with regard to the feud between the Bank of England and the discount house.• have been received in the City with great satisfaction, as tending to discourage the acerbity whi c h h as already been im tsortel into the discussiou in some quarters, and to ensure that the matter shall henceforward be debated with the efilinnew which its importance demands. The general question of the advisability of the Bank's rule against the money-dealers was alluded to by Mr. Gladstone iu a tone which induces confidence that, so far as he is concerned, there is an entire absence of prejuilits-. The Copenhagen having been at sea 116 day. from Melbourne, 3 guineas jar cent. lout b ee n p a id at Lloyd's to ...IA fresh imoirances on the gold (157,0064, the usual rate being 30s. She is, however, considered a slow vessel, and was spoken with by the Suffolk, which arrived a few days ago, so that there menu; to be no cause fur immediate anxiety. The stringency of the money market having sub sided, bills on the Continent were rather more in demand yesterday, and the tendency of the rates in some instaums was drooping. Quotations some what less favourable for this country were esta blished as nvinls paper on Hamburg, Paris, awl St. Petersburg.

The passion for speculation iu theßtock Exchange has brought ruin upon au.,ther victim, hitherto rt,peted, and holding a responsible office. Mr W ifliam leorze Pullinger ' chief cashi c rof th e U Hank of London, and w h o has been ainnected with that establishment slime its+ formation, was _yester day afternoon carried before the Lord Mayor, charge.' with misappropriating a sum of 360/. belonging to the Bank. It is understood that the prisoner admits that he applied the mon e y to meeting bases is. the Stock Exchange. This lo unhappily only one out of several charges against hint. The total amount embezzled will, it is feared, lie bane' t., rued, a considerable sum. A committee of the hoard are now engaged in an in vestigation. We believe the prisoner's salary was a year. The iliswicery of this lamentable affair has excite,' A eery painful sensation. After the detection of Itolison's and Itedpath's trate& the Committee of the Stock Exchange very pro perly ilemed a notice to their members cautioning them against transacting any speculative business for account of clerks employed in mercantile, banking, or other establishments. The present appears to he a 1.1 c ,1! inspiring upon the wainuittee the neo-wity of Unpin. Captain John Vine hail was yerterclay appointed coninnuider of the Great Eastern, in the place of the law lamented Captain Harrison. Captain Hall was formerly ha the service of the General Screw Steam Shipping Company, and in command of their steamers the CILIMIA and Golden Fleece. On th e formation of the Loudon and Mediterranean Shaul Savigatiin Company he was made their general superintendent, which pet he now vacuity,. Captain Ilan is reputed to be a man of energy and ability, awl well fitted for the ',dile duties of his new poet. The steamer Malta left Aden on the 3rd inst. with the English until for Australia of Much. Eleetricad communication between Alexandria and Aden continues suspended.

Debentures, 1858, 961, 97 ; India Ronda, 4s. dia. The Indian rupee paper was fairly supported, the Five per Cent. closing at 98f to 1, and the Five-and-a-Half per Cent. at 1031 to 104. The cause of the disproportionate cheapness of the Five-and-a-Half per Cents., as compared with the Five per Cents., appears to consist in the circum stance that the market is well supplied with the former, a considerable amount having been brought on speculation for this market, in anticipation of the effect of the closing of the loan. Tho half yearly dividend falls due on the Five-and-a-Half per Cents. on the 31st of May. The Indian Five per Cont. stock of 1869 was firm, at 1061 to and Exchequer Bills dull, at lies. to lie. prem.

Lord TEYXHAM gave notice that in a few dam be should move resolutions having reference to universal sul tine and the ballot. Viscount DUNGANNON gave notice that he should ask her Majesty's government on the lst of May whether they had any intention to introduce a bill giving to the bishop of t h e different dioceses power to determine and adjui-.te in disputes arising between an incumbent and his parishioners relative to the mode of performing divine service. Or to any decorations which might be introduced into the church. Ale disgraceful outrages at St. Geort d s in-the-Es-A, which had b ecome a scan d a l t o th e c h urc h, induced him to give this notice. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. This b3l passed through committee. THE QUESTION OF SAVOY. The Marquis of NORMANEY said that he had been re quested by hie noble friend opposite (Earl Granville) to postpone his motion with reference to the preceedins of the government in communicating by pprivyte letters, in stead of public despatches, with their ambass dor at Park The postponement was asked for on ac aunt of the deten tion of Lord Cowley at Calais by had weather, it being is possible for the packet to put to sea. If the mot ion neon fixed for Monday, he should be 0.. 0 .d in some d i tticuky, because he found that several noble lords had motions sin the paper for that day. It was very desirable that his motion should come on as soon as possible, as it seemed Lord Cowley was must anxious to be present, and the noble lord had left Paris for the express purpose. MUNICIPAL CORPORATION MORTGAGpyry BILL This MI passed through committee. MARRIAGES (EXTRA-PAROCHIAL PLACES) BILL. This bill waa read a third time and passed. GENERAL DECAVERO. The Marquis of wished tonal the attention of their lordships for one moment to an of a personal character which had been made to him 1s foreigner. The day before yesterday he received free General Decaveroa letter, immurr to one he had addressed six weeks since mentioning that the statements of winch the gailaut genera! complained with reference to his coo duct n, Minister of War haul been founded upon ninny letters received from persons at Florence on whose word be (the noble marquis) hail placed the utmost reliance. But he stated at the aims time that if Get/. Deravero would furnish him with any authentic a/alumnae that he had had no know ledge of thine irregularities which were stated to have occurred at the Wavollice during last autumn, he (the Marquis of Nonoanby) would take the earliest opportunity of giving publicity to that announcement. The eontenta of the general's letter were a distinct disclaimer of the charges made, and also it contained what he (the noble lord) had never before seen, namely, a declaration on the part of the present Minister of War that the mariner in which contracts for the commissariat were arranged at Florence was nue\ that they del not come under the control of the War Minister. He felt it right to declare his regret that he should have stated anything calculated to give pain to General Decavero.

He had found tram his noble and learned friend (lord St. Leonard') that the Divorce Bill was fixed for ctenmittee on Monday evening, and that it was his inten tion that it should he brought on. The subject of the Divorce Court would therefore take precedence unless his noble and learned friend on the woolsack would consent to its postponement. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that, so far as he was concerned, he should be moot willing to postpone the com mittee on the Divorce Bill till a later boor of the evening, in order that the noble marquis might have precodetice, but he must for the credit of the house protest agaiust its being supposed that they could nut entertain more than o n e subject ou any evening. He must refuse to onter into any arrangement of that sort. Lord ST. LEONARDS then said the Divorce Bill must keep its place in the paper. The motion for the adjournment of the house having been put by the Lord Chancellor, and the peers all titan bug, The Marquis of NORMAN BY said he most again appeal to his noble and learned friend on the woolsack to postpone the Divorce Bill to another evening.

He appealed to the hon. baronet who had always been • fair, though a decided opponent, not to pursue so vexatious a course. There had been • great exhibition of public feeling on both sides of thin question ; the house hail nearly ten thousand petitions, with nearly • million of signatures.

He was I n ked up as the associate of f e l ons , en d co uld never got rid of the stain which was thus met upon him. (Hear.) THE PRIZE•FI(IHT. Mr. W. WART wished to ask the Home Secretary how far the parties who promoted the late prize-fighting eontests were amenable to the law as alders, abettors, and accesso rise before the fact. He believed there was a feeling in the minds of many that these trize.fighte were favourable to the manliness of the English character. In like manner, in IMO, Mr. Windham opposed the bill which wait thee brought in to abolish bull-baiting, and stated that ti n t abolition of such spurts would be illitructive of the English character; and he also said that the continuance of bull baiting, pugilism, and other sports like those, were tILVIJUT.
