CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the past week there have been symptoms of ittprovement in most departments of business throughout the manufac uring districts. At Man chester, however, the high rates demanded for both yarns and cloths have in some measure checked Operations for the home trade, and also for expor tation. t Leeds and Bradford there has been a Blight increase in the inquiries for light cloths, and in the latter locality orders for the French markets have been received which have imparted a firmer tone. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester, Nottingham, and Hinckly, however, have been dull, while in the hardware districts symptoms of returning activity have presented themselves. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, the receipt of orders from several of the German mar kets, together with the demand for home require ments, has caused a more cheerful tone. Owing to the engagements due to-morrow, the 4th inst., there is an active demand for accommo dation, and the banks and discount houses are asking rather higher terms for the securities they are called upon to negotiate. The supplies of floating capital continue abundant, but advantage is taken of the increased requirements of the commercial community to exact enhanced terms for the temporary use of their resources. It is scarcely imagined, however, that any material variation in the general condition of monetary affairs will ensue, owing to the dulness of trade, and the quietude of speculative enterprise. About £40,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England on Saturday. The Atrato, which left today for the West Indies, conveyed £7,539 in specie. The Ceylon, sailing to-morrow with the East India and China mails, will convey £94,028 in Specie. There was a steady inquiry for most descriptions 01 cotton in the Liverpool market on Saturday, and prises were unaltered. The sales were about 7,000 bales. The Shannon, from the West Indies, has arrived, With £413,500 in specie; and the Oneida, from the Brazils, with £53,600, has been announced at Lisbon. A special general meeting of the shareholders in the Mercantile Fire Insurance Company took place to-day, to ratify the provisional agreement entered into with the North British Insurance Company for amalgamation. A Mr. Nelson ob jected to the principal clauses in the agreement, which he considered did not fairly and sufficiently provide for the property of the Mercantile share holders. The report, after a long discussion, was Carried by a large majority. _ _ _ A favourable effect was produced in the English Stock Market this morning by the fall of 1 per cent. 'which occurred in the Rentes on Saturday, and Consols were 93* for transfer and 931 1 for April, but the telegrams this morning report a slight re actionary tendency, and the latest prices here are 93 1 -1, and 931 * respectively.

Several of the principal British undertakings, however, show increased buoya nc y. Caledonian, Eastern Counties, North Western, South-Eastern, and Midlands have im proved about ss.

MARK LEMON " ABOUT LONDON."—The first of two entertainments devoted to the illustration of Old London, and incidentally to the manners and customs, the laws and history, of our forefathers who dwelt therein, Zas given.last night, in the Broad-street Music Hall. he largeness of the audience, though susceptible uq3foen explanation on the score of the intrinsic fasci ati of the theme for a provincial public, must be attributed chiefly to the circumstance that the lec turer was Mr. Mark Lemon, a gentleman whose large `experience, as the editor of Punch, in dealing with the modern foibles and follies of the great city, mus, have Peculiarly qualified him to note and expatiate upon the more salient points in the character and usages of the genus Cockney, ere the days of steam and telegraphy had virtually destroyed the individuality of the race. That the expectations of entert a i nment based upon the repute of the lecturer, and the engrossing interest of the topic upon which he so pleasantly and instructively decanted I r a couple of hours, were not disappointed, was sufficiently proved by the 'promptitude with which every humorous point, or punning allusion, with which the statistical por tion of the entertainment is so skilfully spiced, was taken lip by the audience ; and when the lecture terminated the Wonder was not so much at the vast amount of information 'conveyed in a marvellously short time, as at the insensible - manner in which the audience had digested the pile of in- EttPuction, and fixed in their minds facts of historical value, Which dry and laborious study migh t have failed to place there —Birmingham Daily Post. DISASTROUS FIRE AT LEEDS.—On Friday even ing, a little before 9 o'clock, flames wore discovered issuing born the first floor of the Silver Royd Mill, Upper Wortley.

The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were small. The imports from abroad were 50 qrs. of wheat, 5,482 barley, 18,739 oats, 5 beans, 3,394 tares, 2,955 linseed, 320 rapeseed, 261 sundry seeds, and 160 sacks of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent were very small, but, notwithstand ing the dry state of the atmosphere during the past week, very little improvement was observed in the condition of the samples. All dry parcels were taken off steadily, at prices fully equal to those realised on Monday last; other wise, the English wheat trade ruled heavy, at that day's currency. We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat, ex granary. The best descriptions changed hands to a moderate extent, and quotations were steadily maintained. For medium and inferior parcels the demand ruled inactive, yet no material change took place in their value, compared with this day se' nnight. In floating cargoes of grain, a fair business was trans acted, at late rates. Fine malting barley was in request, at extreme quota tions ; but all other kinds moved of slowly, on former terms. There was some inquiry for parcels suitable for sowing. Malt sold heavily at previous currencies. The show of oats was seasonably extensive, and the trade for all quali ties was in a sluggish state, at barely late rates. An increased supply of beans was on offer, and the trade for them ruled heavy, at a reduction in prices of Is. per quarter. Peas —notwithstanding that the show of samples was only moderate—were dull, yet previous rates were fairly supported. In flour Hiles progressed heavily, and the currencies were decidedly drooping. American qualities were disposed of to a limited extent, at 6d. per barrel beneath last Mon day's quotations. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL REABrim.

There was a falling off ill the supply o f home-fed beasts compared with Monday last; neve rtheless, owing to the large quantities of meat on sa le in th e dead-market, the de mand for most breeds was in a slu ggish state at previous currencies.

CRIMINAL CO ÜBT.—(2 his Day, The March sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, and the other civic functionaries. 0 wing to a longer period than usual having elapsed since the adjournment of the court, the session is likely to be a very heavy one, therebeing already 130 prisoners committed for trial, and a great number of the offences with which they are charged are of a very grave character. There are no less than three charges of wilful murder in the calendar, one of them being of a very painful nature, in which a re spectable tradesman named W incott was killed in a most brutal manner in the open day, and in his own shop by some drunken costermongers. It seems that since the coroner's jury have returned the verdict, representa tions :have been made to Sir G. Grey, the Home Se cretary, upon the subject, and he has given directions that the prosecution shall be taken up by the Solici tor to the Treasury, and bills of indictment for wilful murder will consequently be sent up to the grand jury, and if they should return true bills the whole of the parties will be put upon their trial for that offence. At present, four of the parties against whom the coroner's Puy have returned a bill for wilful murder are in Cold bath. fields Prison, but if the grand jury should find bills against them they will be removed to Newgate by a writ of habeas corpus to take their trial. There are a great many other very serious cases to be disposed of at this sessions, and among them is the charge against the five Polish Jews of having endeavoured to procure plates for the purpose of forging Russian rouble notes, which is prosecuted by the Russian Government, and Sergeant Ballantine is specially retained to conduct the case on behalf of the authorities of that country. Among the other cases to be disposed of at this session it appears that there are 15 charges of burglary, and no less than 33 of the prisoners are charged with uttering counterfeit coin, a class of offence that appears to be very much on the increase. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OBTAINING A QUANTITY OF LINEN BY FRAUD.—Mary Ann Nagle, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with obtaining a basket of linen of the value of £6 by false pretences from Mrs. Mary Brumwell of the Horse and Groom, 301, Oxford-street. Mr. John Brumwell, son of Mrs. Brumwell, said the pri soner called on Monday, the 13th January, and asked for the linen, saying that she had been sent by Mrs. Lush, the laundress. He told the servant, believing the prisoner's statement, to give her the linen, and she did so. Thelinen had never been brought back. Susan Abbiss, servant to Mrs. Brumwell, proved giving the prisoner the linen. Mrs. Lush, of 23, Coach and Horses-yard, Old Burling ton-street, said she had employed the prisoner, but never sent her for the basket of linen. Sergeant Joy, 9 C, said he apprehended the prisoner on Saturday night, when she said the linen had been stolen from her. He believed there was a previous conviction. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner till Monday next, when she will be committed for trial. NOVEL MODE OF PLUNDERING LODGINGS.—DETER MINED PURSUIT.—John Johnson, a dyer, was charged as follows :. The prisoner had a pair of goloshes when taken into cus tody, and had with him a black bag and two cards, on which were written, "Mr. George Brace, passenger to Bar net," there being little doubt that his plan was, when he secured any booty, to tie one of the cards to it, or to the bag's mouth, so as to deceive the police in the event of this being stopped. It appears that at an early hour this morning, Mr. James O'Ryan, a lodger at the house of Mr. Daniel, 21, South Molton-street, heard some one in his bedroom, and said, " Is that you, Mr. Daniel P" The prisoner said "Yes," but hearing that it was not, he jumped out of bed and pursued the prisoner, who opened the street door. Mr. Ryan, de termined not to lose the prisoner, pursued him, and brought him back, and gave him into custody. Mr. Ryan, in answer to the magistrate, said he could not tell how the prisoner got into the house, and that he was awoke by hearing some one at his clothes on the table. Mr. Daniel said on going down stairs he saw Mr. Ryan, who was in his shirt, pursuing the prisoner in the street. Se veral latch keys were found, one of them opening the street door, on the slab near the street door, but they did not belong to the house. Inspector Walker said he believed he had seen the pri soner before. Robinson 163 0, exhibited the bag to the magistrate, and it was one of a very capacious description. Prisoner was remanded for a week, Mr. Tyrwhitt com plimenting Mr. Ryan, who is a tall and remarkably fine looking gentleman, on his clever capture of the prisoner. ATTEMPTED MURDER NEAR TOTTENHAM-COURT-ROAD. —Joseph Wills, of 15, Pitt-street, a papier-mache maker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with seriously cutting and wounding a man named John Earl, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. A certificate was put in from the Middlesex Hospital stating that the injured man was unable to attend, it being signed by the house surgeon. It appears that the prisoner, who was living with his mother, was on Saturday night breaking up all the articles of furniture, and his mother, who was assaulted by him, cried " Murder." The injured man went to see whether he could pacify the prisoner, who was very excited, when he was stabbed in the throat through a half-closed door. Moorcroft, 165, said on taking the prisoner into custody the only remark he heard was " Very good." He found a knife in the prisoner's waistcoat, but the prisoner said that was not the one he had done it with.—Remanded. THE W BAI'IIER. PROBABLE TO-MORROW. North Britain..

The half-yearly meeting was held on Friday at Bristol, Mr. Vigurs in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that although the traffic during the last half-year had not increased to the extent antici pated there was no reason to be discouraged, and when the Cornwall line was opened to Falmouth a large increase in the traffic might be expected. He thought the reserve fund of £lO,OOO was necessary for the maintenance of the credit of the company, and expressed his belief that the dividend of 3s. per share about to be proposed would be maintained. A dividend of 5 per cent. was declared on the £lO preference shares, and the dividend on the original shares proposed by the &rectors was carried. The retiring directors and auditor were re elected. The meeting was then made special, and the original paid-up shares were authorised to be consolidated into stock. NS FOR THE WEEK. Miles Opened. 1861. Receipts. 1861.

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT.--The Govern ment, it is said, has concluded a contract with a com mercial company for the conclusion of a postal communica tion between France and Mexico. According to the terms of the contract, the company will place four screw steamers on the line—two measuring 1,800 tons each, and of 280- horse power ; the other two of 2,500 tons each, and of 500- horse power. These ships are to make one passage per month, from the Ist of April next, from St. Nazaire to Vera Cruz and back, touching at Martinique, San .Tago de Cuba, and Cienfuegos. Several commercial companies have expressed their approbation of this arrangement, which it is hoped will open new markets to French in• dustry. A communication from Alexandria of the 10th February says The Viceroy is at Cairo at pre sent. An agreement has been concluded between his Highness end the Suez Canal CoropanY , b y which he has agreed to furnished thirty thousand men for the works of the canal, on condition that the company feed the men and give the Government forty francs a month for each man. The Pasha is to pay the men as soldiers, in which capacity, nominally, they are in fact being taken from the villages. It is said that 10,000 men have already been thus furnished. The labour thus bought and sold is nothing more nor less than that of slavery for the time being. The Canal Ccmpany have also hired, with the assistance of the Govern ment, twelve Kazis, or Arab judges, at a salary of 500 piastres a month each, to reside at the Canal works on the Isthmu s, and administe r justice, or injustice, Egyptian at ian sit may be worth their whil e, amongst workmen. The Comp any has also the established on the Isthmus schools for the Euro pean and Arabic youth—it is to be presumed of de Bons P as t eurs hee ex en es e , n s g in ag ce ed so i m h e cen S n ce e u c i t s i on with the school s . h b a ot v h e Th e Company is also said to be extending its operations on the side of the Valley of the Nile, w h e re it is reported t o h ave made aw cquisine a • • tion of 5,000 acres of la n d , in addition to the nearly 19,000 acres already purchased in the summer from the Viceroy, who had, a li • ttle before, bought it from the estate of the late 11-liami Pasha." 4 . . . . . , . . = -. . .- - SPORTING NOTES. The Lincoln Meeting, as anticipated, turned out success ful. The sport was good, and drew tgr th, r a lar ge rum - ber of speetatrrs. My predictions for the prircipal r , c2s proved correct, viz —Ducat, for the Trial stakes; Dirt Cheap, the Brocklesby ; Duhallow, the Steeplechase; and Ducat and Suburban, the Lincoln Handicap. The Derby and Notitngham Meetings take place this week. The Nottingham Meeting commences to-morrow. There are 30 horses weighted for the Spring Handicap, Petra heading the lot, with Bst 121 b, and his chance is not a forlorn one. Ariadne, after her exhibition last week, will likely stay at home. The next that attracts my attenli is Doncaster, 5 yrs, 7st 71b, who has been very leniently dealt with by the handicapper. Furious has only 101 b more to carry than he did last year, when he successfully carried off the race, and for him I have the greatest respeci - . Were Ducat to put in an appearance, I would not look fra - - ther for the winner; but, as he is engaged in the No•._-i'l•• amptonshire, the Metropolitan, City and Suburbnu, d other large handicaps, he had better be left alone till 3. - 3 number is hoisted. An investment on him for the r large handicaps (with the exception of the Chester Co » for which he has got too much weight) will prove rer•un-, rative. In the absence of Ducat, I expect the stales pl :c A to the credit of Mr. Barber, by the aid of DONCASTC:a. T:l3 Little John should be an easy victory for PRINCESS LOUISA. The other events are mostly dependent on the first day's running. The Harrington Handicap, at Derby, has 24 horses en gaged, the best of which appears to be SACEItDOS. THE PRAIRIE HEN filly looks a good thing for the Staunton Harrold Stakes. The Marquis has completely recovered his temper, and he will be a better favourite for the Two Thousand before long. Remember the Tom Bowline and Wizard trial two years ago, when The "Wizard was sent to 25 to 1 before the day of the race, which made Tom first favourite up to within an hour of starting, when half a point less was taken about Lupellus. The Wizard's price at starting was 25 to 1, and he won easily by three lengths, and poor Tom was third last. So my advico is not to be gulled again, as The Marquis is undoubtedly the best horse in Scott's stable, and, if he only keeps well, he will be very formidable both for the Two Thousand and Derby. A FRESH MAN. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-SATURDAY. There was very little done on either the Chester Cup, the Derby, or the Two Thousand Guineas. For the latter event Wingrave had another day of 10 to 1 offered, tako 100 to 9 ; and 100 t, - ) 30 was offered agat Old Calabar, more as a feeler than a desire to lay. For the Grand National Steeplechase Huntsman was freely supported—six and a half fitties were booked in one trar section. The Tumbler was backed at 100 to 8. He afterwards, without any ap parent reason, receded to 100 to 5, but it would be difficult to decide from the movements towards the close, whether his next step would be backward or forward. For the City and Suburban, 100 to 6 each was taken about Suburban and Ducat, but that price was afterwards freely offered on the field.

A warm contest is expected for the seat vacated by the Hon. H. Butler Johnstone, and both parties are sanguine of success, though it is admitted that the last Parliamentary register contains a prepon derance of Liberal electors. The two candidates aro Mr. H. A. Butler Johnstone (son of the late mem ber), a young gentleman not more than 22 years of age, and Major Lyon, who comes forward as a thorough Liberal and practical reformer. First and foremost, he says he is a decided financial reformer. He believes that the day and hour have arrived when the people of this country will no longer endure to live under a war taxation in a time of pro found peace; and he promises to use his utmost endeavours, should he be elected, to a'Aer and amend this state of things. He is also a legal reformer, our ecclesiastical, as well as all other branches of our legal code, requiring, in his opinion, a full and complete revision. For the sake of all parties, be desires the entire abolition of church rates, and he makes this declaration, he adds, as a friend, and not as an enemy, to the Church of England. With re spect to the franchise, the Major says he is prepared to give his support to any Government which will introduce a safe extension of the franchise; and, although he desires to sit in Parliament as an inde pendent man, he feels bound to declare that he knows of no public man to whom the destinies of this great country can be so safely intrusted as to Lord Palmerston. Mr. H. A. Butler Johnstone announces himself as a Conservative, not a Liberal Conservative, not a Tory, who is opposed to all progress, because it in-. vovles a change, but he is a Conservative because he considers the present Conservative party to be the most earnestly and sincerely devoted to the true and permanent interests of this country. Toryism he believes to be defunct, and the spirit by which it was animated to be entirely departed from this island. He shall be prepared, he adds, always to support the Government in maintaining the honour of the British flag, and in supporting British inte rests in every quarter of the globe. He is in favour of a compromise on the subject of church rates by the application of the surplus revenue in the richer dioceses, in the h an d s o f th e E cc l e si a stical Commis sioners, to the purposes of the church rate, thus church gettingarbiodlisohfintghera rates altogether. H e is in those dicceses, and gra dually opposed to the new education code, believing the old one to be far preferable. He claims for Lord Derby's Secretary of State the honour of originat ing the volunteer movement, the existence of which saved England from a war with France, and pre served the honour of her flag in the American af fair. He is not only prepared to support the army and navy, and the volunteers, in accordance with the requirements of a great nation like England, but also every fortification from which the British flag at present floats, and also her colonies, those appendages which at are the same time the cause and effect of her greatness. r, r ,h at u i r o s n_ day.
