CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. From the manufacturing districts the advices for the past week are 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 having been for immediate home tifitnands. At Leicester and Nottingham there has b(!en little activity 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 Satarday con tinued rather active, and prices were firm. The sales were 7,000 bales. The Atrato, from the West Indies, has brought X 106.650, and the Hansa, from New York, £6,000 in specie. Although the Money Market retains a quiet appearance, a moderate amount of business is daily transacted, and the supply of bills on offer is larger than it was 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 °loess of the current requirements, and the banks and other establishments are very willing to I lerptiat e approved securities on easy terms. The Metropolitan and Provincial Bank, the first London bank under the Limited Liability Act, e°Elynenced business to-day. Th e first annual meeting of the London and South African Bank will take place on the Ist proximo, f ° l ' the declaration of a dividend, &c. CITY NEWS-THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. Rather more firmness has prevailed in the Eng lish Mark e t to -d ay, although the transactions 'nave continued on a reduced scale.

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 upward ten dency. Barley, oats, and flour commanded full prices, but beans and peas were a dull inquiry. Throughout the cont inent 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 week the arrivals of English grain were very small. The imports from abroad were 5,023 qrs wheat, 13,955 barley, 27,124 oats, 2,600 peas, 1,260 lin seed, 80 rapeseed, 95 sundry seeds, 367 sacks and 5,491 brls 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; nevertheless, 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 full 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. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASITRE.

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. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with beasts for the time of year, whilst the quality and condition of most breeds were good ; although the beef trade ruled somewhat inactive, last week's prices were well supported. A few very superior Scots and crosses found buyers at 4s 6d, but the general top figure for beef was 4s 4d per 81bs. 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 command , d 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 5s 10d per 81bs. Shorn Downs sold at 4s 10d per 81bs. Down lambs were scarce, and in request at 8s per Blbs ; other breeds were steady ou higher terms, viz., from 6s 4d to 7s 4d per Blbs ; most of the lambs came to hand of good quality. Calves—the supply of which was moderate —moved off steadily at last week's currency. The best veal sold at 5e 4d per 81bs. The demand for pigs was inactive. In prices, however, no change took place.

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 a 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 1 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. Oa Saturday afternoon I was in Long-acre, and I saw the prisoners, Daley and Brown, come down th• court 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 4" Daley pointed to where the large bag was, and said "It is there;" and Sidney then I 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. a Police Constable Cole, C 23—1 received a description of e 2 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 person named M 'Gregor, and I said, " Mac, I wantyou." He said, " What do you a want, you're always down upon me." I said, " I want gi 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 7 : female prisoners into custody. I searched Brown, and found on him some silk wrapped up inla 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 lace produced. Police-constable, 24 C—l accompanied the last witness 'l, t, to Dudley-street. On returning to Dudley-street with a the female police searcher, upon searching the woman she g found three foreign coins. Ann Martin said she had - c}s had them some time, but afterwards said she picked them up. On the mantel-shelf I found the knife produced. Mrs. Green, the female s e a rcher, confirmed the eviden c e of this witness, as to the account Ann Martin gave of the • coins. Sergeant Holmes—Yesterday morning I went to 61, 13, Dudley-street, with Sergeant Cole. He went up stairs, and 1 went down to the cellar with a light. I there found bid g in a dark place the leather bag 1 produce, with the name ' 4 and address on it. In it I found the spirit flask, scent bottle, tooth brush, and an old purse containing some foreign coins. Poliee-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 loft the bag on the front seat, and on my retuin I found it had been stolen. I value the contents of it at about £250. I lost five foreign coins in the tag. 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 big. MARLBOROUGH-STREET THIS DAY. A Gnoss 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 ♦ery 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 iL^ inspector of the gas company to be sent for, and the case was :emended for that pur pose. FOREIGN MAIL PACKET I,IST. MAILS DUE. AuK,ralia and Mauritius, via Southampton.

"That it is, indeed, exclaimed the dame, "and the worst failure I ever had 1" This was at a period when the secret of curing hams was known but to 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, and Treves produce these highly esteemed hams, and through the agency of Mr. Osborne, of Ludgate-hill, are imported in quantities, principally for the London con sumption, at prices (all transitory dues included) less than one-half the cost of a few years ago.

The inspector does not proceed to examine scholars in reading, writing, and arithmetic for the grant, until he has first ascertained that the state of the school does not require it t,) be withheld. " 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. Teachers certi ficated before March 31, 1864, and who have not otherwise agreed with their employers, are duly paid if they receive not less than three times the grant allowable upon their certi ficates in Article 64-5 of the Code of 1860, and they have a first charge to the extent of this grant, being one-third of such due payment, upon the money received by the managers, under Article 40, supra. (e.) If the girls in the schools be not taught plain needlework as part of the ordi nary course of instruction. (d.) If the registers be not kept with sufficient accuracy to warrant confidence in the returns. (e.) If on the inspector's report, there appears to be any prima facie objection* of a grtm s kind. A second in spection, wherein another inspector or inspectors takes part, is made in every such instance, and if the grant be finally withheld, a special minute is made and recorded of the case. (f.) If three persons at least be not designated to sign the receipt for the grant on behalf of the school. "52. The grant is reduced,— (a) By not less than one tenth, no more than one-half in the whole, upon the in spector's report for faults of instruction* or discipline on the part of the teacher, or (after one year's notice) for failure on the part of the managers to remedy any such de fect in the premisesas seriously interferes with the efficiency of the school or to provide proper furniture, books, maps, and other apparatus of elementary instruction. (b.) By the sure of £lO, if affer the first 50 scholars in average at tendance there be not either one pupil-teacher fulfilling the conditions of Articles 75.83 for every 40 scholars, or one certificated or assi-tant-teacher fulfilling the conditions of Articles 61 and 85•.7 respectively for every 80 scholars in average attendance. Tho forfeiture is reduced from £lO to £5 if the failure to comply with these articles be confined to the examination of a pupil-teacher (Article 82) ; but this reduction is made only once fur the same pupil teacher, and not in successive years for the same school. (c.) By its excess above :-1. The amount of school fees and subscrip tions ; or, 2. The rate of 15s. per scholar in average attend ance in the year defined by Article 17. " 53. It the excess of scholars over the ratio of 40 to every upil teacher has arisea from increased attendance of chit -dm., since the last settlement of the school staff (Articles 66, 67), t h e : forfeiture prescribed by Article 52 (b), supra, does not accrue.

Pupil teach ers admitted before the 30th of June 1862, and the masters and n:istresses by whom they are in structed, have a second charge for their several stipends and gratuities so long as their service fulfils the conditions prescribed by the Code of 1860, upon the money received by the managers under Article 40, supra; and in case the money so received shall not be sufficient to meet the second charge upon it, the Committee of Council will add the sum requisite to make up the deficiency.] " ARTICLES PROPOSED IN PLACE OP ARTICLES 136-7. r" 136.

THE ARMY CLOTHING ESTABLISHMENT AT PIMLICO.—Last week some rather unusual visitors arrived at the army clothing establishment at Pimli,o in the per sons of Colonel Charles Thomas, and other officers of the United States army, who, we understand, had come ex pressly from America to inspect the working arrangements of this admirable factory and stores. After a most minute inspection, which occupied some time, anci which appeared in every way satisfactory to the visitors, c o lonel Vtomas and friends left the buildings.— United Servic e Gazette. THE ROBERTSON COURT •MARTIAL.—The rumour gains ground that this now celebrated court-martial has• terminated in an acquittal of the prisoner on all the charges ; and it is also confidently asserted that the " remarks" from head-quarters will go considerably farther.

They shaped their course for that place.

FIRE AT THE PIMLICO ARMY STORES:A fire broke out at the military stores at Pimlico, early on Thurs day evening, which, had it not been for the prompt mea sures adopted, might have proved of a most destructive and dangerous character. From the information which we have been enabled to gather, it appears that a large quantity of oil-skin coats were, 531120 time since, closely stored at the depot against the remonstrance of the military storekeeper. These coats, from their peculiar preparation, were found to have spontaneously ignited; and the fire, which had de stroyed some four or five thousand of the coats before the discovery was made, was rapidly communicating itself t o the building. Had these storehouses been burnt to the ground there is no saying to what expense the Government might have been put► or the inconvenience the ar my must have Buffered.—Unital Service Gazette. —SATURD AY 'r.
