MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. nom the manufacturing districts the advises for the pv.F.i; week arc more. satisfactory. At Manchester a large amount of business has been done in both cloths and yarns, at enhanced prices. The woollen trade of Leeds has been comparatively quiet, the chief operations hating been for immediate home demands. At Leicester and Nottingham there has been little :Ictivitv in the hosiery and lace trades, but increased animation has been apparent in most branches of business at Birmingham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolverhampton. The Liverpool cotton market on Saturday con tinued rather active, and prices were firm. The sales were 7.000 bales. At the Bank of England on Saturday there Were no gold transactions of importance. The• Atrato, from the West Indies, has brought £106,650, and the Hansa, from New York, £6,000 in specie. Although the Money Market retains a quiet appearance, t moderate amount of business is daily transacted, and the supply of bills on offer is larger than it v,vas a few weeks ago. Some effect has no doubt been produced upon the general demand by the tendency to improvement in trade throughout the country, the advices from most parts indicating a slight increase of operations. Besides this the introduction of new loans and other projects has also exercised some influence, and it is rather surprising that greater firmness is not experienced in discount circles. The fact is, however, that the supply of money is largely in excess of the current requirements, and the banks and other establishments are very willing to negotiate approved securities on easy terms. The Metropolitan and Provincial Bank, the first London bank under the Limited Liability Ant, commenced business to-day. The first annual meeting of the London and South African Bank will take place on the ist proximo, for the declaration of a dividend, B,:c. CITY NEWS-THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. Rather mere firmness has prevailed in the Eng lish Market to-day, although the transactions have continued on a reduced scale. Speculators are still disinclined to engage in operations of magni tude, and investors are seeking other channels for their means. Consols have improved 8 per cent., namely, to 933, 94 for money, and 94 948 for the Bth proximo. The New Threes are firm at 921 ; the Reduced steady at 921; and the Exchequer Bills fiat at 18s. prem.; India Stock is 227 and 2281 ; and ditto 5 per Cent., 1084 Foreign Securities have shown no important variation, and an average business has taken place.

The New Ottoman Scrip is 27 4 -a prem.; and the Egyptian, 14 prem. The operations in the Railway Share Market have been limited, but prices have shown a slight 'upward movement. Eastern Counties, Great Westerns, and North British have improved ss. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Western, Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and South Easterns, 10a., and Midlands, £1 ; Bristol and Exeter, how ever, declined £1; Great Northerns, Scottish worth Easterns, and one or two others, realise about previous rates.

Mr. James Wyld has given to all who wish to see and comprehend this volunteer display to advan tage, a map which will make them at home in the scene at once. If, as will be the case with most, they know Brighton and its immediately adjacent Gowns, y knowns, they will at once comprehend the plan, and eas where they should like to take up their position as spectators. The great down of the Racecourse curves round like a horse shoe, its two ends, as it were, coming down to the sea. From the toe, as we may term it, of the horse shoe, an intermediate high down runs also to the sea, and on this middle down, with a deep wide valley between it and each of the sides of the horse shoe, the in fantry, artillery, and cavalry wi Ibe placed. Thus the spectators, occupy ing the whole circle of the horse shoe, will have a fine view of all that passes as the top of the centre down, and on the side of it next to them. A small and useful railway map of the distzict occupies one corner. THE WESTMINSTER ABBEY SERVlCES.—Yester day evening the second of the special Sunday evening ser vices in the nave of Westminster Abbey, which were com kenced on the previous Sunday, was held, there being an overwhelming congregation. Full choral service was per formed, and the sermon was preached by the Rev. Henry Mackenzie, M.A., rector of Tydd St. Mary, formerly vicar 'if St. Martin's-in-the-Fields. The sermon next Sunday eveni ng will be preached by the Bishop of London. ANOTHER DEATH FROM CRINOLINE. —On Satur day another fatal occurrence took place through the use of crinoline. While Mrs. Mary Anne Birchmore, aged 28, the wife of an engineer, on a visit to 2, Furness-street, Notting-hill, was reaching over the fireplace, her widely extended skirts took fire, and before aid could be procured the was burnt in so dreadful a manner that on her removal to St. Mary's Hospital, she expired. THE GERMAN DIET.—Tom Hood used to tell a story of an old lady, who complaining of the bad quality of a ham to the provision merchant, the latter assured her it Was a regular Westphalia. "That it is, indeed, exclaimed the dame, "and the worst failure I ever had I" This was at a period when the secret of curing hams was known but t ° a few in Germany, and consequently the actually good Was both scarce and dear. Now, however, not only West phalia, but portions of Lower Saxony, Hesse, Wettervaria, a nd Troves produce these highly este2med hams, and throu g h the agency of Mr. Osborne, of Ludgate-hill, are 4aported in quantities, principally for the London con 'ltiraption, at prices (all transitory dues included) less than ° lle-half the cost of a few years ago. The vegetarians have a toast, "Peas and Plenty," Mr. Osborne would give "Ham 14 Perfection and Peas in Plenty." SHARE MARKET---THIS DAY. --m-- ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Paid.'

There was an improved feeling in the demand for wheat in most of the country markets held on Saturday, and in some instances the quotations had an upwaid ten dency. Barley, oats, and flour commanded full prices, but beans and peas were a dull inquiry. Throughout the continent very little has been doing in wheat of late, for forward shipment, whilst the export de mand in America still continues heavy. The stocks of pro duce in the interior of the country are very large for the time of year. Up to our market last iveek the arrivals of English grain were very small. The imports from abroad were 5,023 qrs wheat, 13,955 barley, 27,121 oats, 2,600 peas, 1,260 lin seed, 80 rapeseed, 95 sundry seeds, 367 sacks and 5,491 brie flour. The arrivals of English wheat both from Essex and Kent, fresh up, to this morning's market were much restricted, and the samples, generally speaking, came to hand in some what improved though by no means first-rate condition. All dry parcels met a steady sale, and the rates current on Monday last were fully supported. Inferior qualities, how ever, were a dull inquiry; nevertheloss, compared with this day se'nnight, the currencies were without quotable change. The show of foreign wheat was seasonably extensive, and consisted, for the most part, of samples ex-granary. In most descriptions a fair business was transacted, and last Monday's quotations were fully maintained. For floating cargoes of grain there was a fair demand, and prices ruled firm. Malting barley was scarce, and was fully as dear as on this day se' nnight. Grinding and distilling sorts, however, moved off slowly at late rates. The show of samples of English was small ; of foreign somewhat extensive. Fiae malt sold steadily at full currencies, but medium and inferior parcels met a slow sale on former terms. We were only moderately supplied with oats, for which the demand ruled steady, at tun prices. Beans were held at quite previous rates, but the trade for them was devoid of animation. The supply on offer was small. Peas moved off slowly ; nevertheless, the quotations ruled firm, owing to the limited quantity on sale. • - In most kinds of flour there was a fair business doing, and late rates were steadily maintained.

There was a fair average supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market ; but its general quality was very mid dling, and sales progressed slowly at late rates.

On the whole, a fair clearance was effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,900 Scots, short horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England, 900 various breeds; from Scotland, 400 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers. Notwithstanding that the show of sheep was tolerably extensive in number, and good in quality, nearly all breeds commanded a steady sale, and the currencies realised on this day se'nnight were freely supported, especially for prime Downs in the wool, some of which realised 58 10d per Sibs.

BOW-STREET. DARING ROBBERY FROM A CARRIAGE.—WiIIiam Daley, John Brown, Philip Sidney, Ann Martin, and Louise Martin, were placed at the bar charged with being con. cerned in stealing u leather bag from a carriage containing property to the amount of £250, on Saturday last. George Nichols said—On Saturday I was on a ladder painting a house in Long-acre, when I saw a carriage standing near. I saw the prisoner Sidney come from the carriage with a black bag in his hand, which he gave to a man who was under the ladder, and they both walked. away. This was between two and three in the afternoon I afterwards gave a description of the man to the police. Henry Stanley— I live at 3, Hanover-court. On Saturday afternoon I was in Long-acre, and I saw the prisoners, Daley and Brown, come down the smut from Long-acre running, Daley having a black bag like the one produced in his hand. About half a dozen girls were at the bottom of the Court, and I heard him say to one of them, " Here take this under your petticoats." The girl answered, " No, we don't get our living by thieving," and the man then threw the bag in a doorway of a coffee shop, in Hart-street. Behind the door Daley and Brown were waiting, and just after Sidney came up, when they said to him, Where is it ?" Daley pointed to where the large bag was, and said "It is there ;" and Sidney then went in and took the bag and walked down Hart street with it. Daley and Brown stopped behind for a a short time, when Daley said " Its all right, old fellow," and they all went in the direction Sidney had gone. Police Constable Cole, C 23—1 received a description of some parties who had committed a robbery, and I went to No. 61, Dudley-street, St. Giles's. I found Brown coming from the front room with a fish pad on his back. I had a knowledge of him previously, as a personnamed M'Gregor, and I said, " Mac, I wantyou." He said, " What do you want, you're always down upon me." I said, " I want you for stealing a bag from a carriage in Long Acre. He replied, " You're down upon me again, you had me to rights before, but you have not got me to rights this time." I then handed him over to a police constable, and I went into the front room and there found Daley and Sidney (whom I knew as Morris), some females were also in the room. Daley said, " What do you want now, Cole ?" I said, " I apprehend both o you, Sidney and Daley, for stealing a bag from a carriage in Long-acre on Saturday last." Daley said it was a mis take. I then gave Sidney over to the police, at the same time telling two constables to watch the females, whom I ordered into the front room. On returning to the room Sergeant Holmes, of the F division, and I took the two female prisoners into custody. I searched Brown, and found on him some silt wrapped up in:a yellow paper, which I now produce. I went to the house in Dudley street again, and in the second-floor I found the pearl neck- I lace produced. Police-constable, 24 C—l accompanied the last witness io Dudley-street. On returning to Dudley-street with the female police searcher, upon searching the woman she found three foreign coins. Ann Martin said she had had them some time, but afterwards said she picked them up. On the mantel-shelf I found the knife produced. Mrs. Green, the female searcher, confirmed the evidence of this witness, as to the account Ann Martin gave of the coins. Sergeant Holmes—Yesterday morning I went to 61, Dudley-street, with Sergeant Cole. He went up stairs, and I went down to the cellar with a light. I there found hid in a dark place the leather bag 1 produce, with the name and address on it. In it I found the spirit flask, scent bottle, tooth brush, and an old purse containing some foreign coins. Polise-constable Ackrell said—ln a dust-hole in the yard of the house 61, Dudley-street, I found the two rings I produce. I know all three prisoners to be companions of thieves. Mrs. Alethea Adelaide East said—l am the wife of Joshua East, of No. 7, Curzon-street, May-fair. On Saturday afternoon the bag produced was lost from our carriage, I had left the bag on the front seat, and on my return I found it had been stolen. I value the contents of it at about £250. I lost five foreign coins in the bag. I believe those produced to be the same. On the prisoners being asked what they had to say in answer to the charge, Daley said—l'm not guilty. I went to the house when the police took me to get a. clean shirt. Brown said—l was coming down Monmouth-street when I went up to the room to look for my sister, when I was taken. I'm not guilty. The Magistrate said he should remand the prisoners in order to give the police time to discover the other valuables contained in the bag. MARLBOROUGH-STREET THIS DAY. A. GROSS 'IMPOSTOR.—George Newman, a middle-aged man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with endeavouring to obtain money by false pretences. It appears that on the previous evening the prisoner went to a private hotel, at 36, St. James's-place, and asked the servant, a young man named Boyd, whether the lady was at home, at the same time stating that he wished a message to be taken to her that he had been in the employ of the Gas Company, at 25, Piccadilly, and that there having been an explosion at Charing-cross he had lost one of his fingers, and could do no work. He said he was very hard up, and wanted assistance. Benjamin Wheatley, a lamplighter in the employ of the Western Gas Company, Argyle-street, said his attention was called to the prisoner by a gentleman who said the prisoner had been to two or three different houses asking for assistance, representing that he was the lamplighter, and also the meter maker to the company. He watched the prisoner, and heard him say at one place that he was the meter maker, and that he had lost three fingers, and the company would do nothing for him. He had seen the inspector of the company, who said the prisoner had never been in the employ of the company at all. In answer to a question, the witness said that at the time he saw the prisoner he had his hand bound up, but there was not the least occasion for that, for he had evidently lost his finger some years. A constable said the prisoner owned to going to two houses and asking for money. The prisoner said it was quite true that there had been an explosion, and !that he had lost his fingers, and he then asked to be allowed to go. Mr. Tyr whitt ordered the inspector of the gas company to be sent for, and the case was remanded for that pur pose. FOREIGN NAIL PACKET LIST. MAILS DUE.

IN e can gua rantee this fact, and we do so chiefly with the view to make it known to the Polish bishops, in case the Russian Government, as is unfortunately but too probable, should think proper not to forward the official communication of the Holy See."

" 51. The grant is withheld altogether,—(a) If the school be not held in a building certified by the Inspector to be healthy, properly lighted, drained and ventilated, supplied with offices, and containing in the principal schoolroom at least 80 cubical feet of internal space for each child in average attendance. (b.) If the principal teacher be not duly certificated (Article 61), and duly paid.
