~'~-'::-„sue'' MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The markets for Foroign and Colonial Produce have shown rather less animation during the last few days. The demand for tea, however, has been active, and full rates have been realised. Sugars have been dealt in to only a moderate extent, and prices have slightly declined. The inquiries for coffee have been active, full rates being current for the better descriptions of plantation Ceylon. In rice, fruit, and spices an average amount of busi ness has been recorded at about previous rates. Saltpetre has been dull, and prices have slightly de clined, but for tallow there has been an active de mand at slightly advanced rates, the deliveries for consumption having considerably increased. Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with a quiet appearance, and between 7,000 and 8,000 bales were disposed of at previous rates. In the Railway Share Market there was rather more activity, and prices tended A Y upwards. been sties a its ived 1 the seen 6ted), and IS 22d a for id for iffey, re at Id the mem 1, and -Lon ienos, ar for ►news iiards as for 5, &c., 'a oil- intro• do or T sick ort of tifica- ertant Wags m the castle, buy's, fusing lel was l been nment no by VIIIP- 61 Life -street, in th• rd Per t, Esq., revious oted to r of the x, cox gallant two oe. it that hoover )per, of st also Thie ad per en pet• Indeed he life keey re r on the one. _ o voted in con- CM two Dm the nd also ad in a r of Ow for re • out of 3hielde, eked on at m id mmedi- mar, no mg ree men With perilous haunted roted to ,ationed um, and render- and 21 L of tho , in ac wading life, two which, ed near of the :ket chief ko, with ed hint f to re of the to Mr. iduct in ar time* Laster of nainder ket ap- is crew saving 1, of the rind and t of the rolling lashed self into 1 picked Quatt .e. he creY putting no Ma ther and last, on fishinf tempted :h some wow. dent in ;, and is mui eon- its itU- !en for- I to the, ,ution British I rocket i Yacht 81:1) of A 10 instl- Only a small amount of gold, viz., £12,000, was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. There is a fair demand for money in the general market and at the Bank ; but bills cannot be nego tiated except at full rates, because it is by no means certain that the minimum will remain in its pre sent position, and capitalists are consequently very cantious in their operations. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Indus, to sail on Saturday with the India and China mails, will take £256,619, of which £7,950 is gold for Alexandria, £1,200 gold for Ceylon, £lO,OOO gold and Z 105,020 silver for India, and £5,870 gold and £128,513 silver for China. The whole is on private account. There has been very little animation in the market for English Securities to-day, owing to the continued dullness of speculation, and the limited character of the investments. The quota tions, however, are well maintained, a few bargains having taken place at the improvement established yesterday,Consols being 9411 for money and the Bth inst.,and 9411 for the March account. The diminished efflux of gold, and the increased quietude of the money market, have exercised a:favourable influence. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities have advanced to 941 ; the New 21 to 79; Exchequer Bills 17s. and 21s. prem. ; India New Loan is 1031. I ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper has im proved to 97-1 and 98 ; and ditto 51 per Cent. ditto to 1031 104. In Foreign Securities a moderate amount of busi ness is recorded, and prices are tolerably well main tained. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 78 to 781 ; ditto New, 65 to 66 ; Mexican have improved to 211 ; Russian 3 per Cents., to 651 ; Peruvian (Uribarren), are 81: ; Dutch 21 per Cents. have receded to 651 ; and ditto 4 per Cents. to 1011 102. _ _ The Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 2 Prem.; the Universal ditto, I prem.; the Bank of Turk e y, to 4. dis.; and the Canada Loan, 21 Prem.

On comparing these rates with the Ntleh Mint price of £3 17s. 10 3 / 4 d. per ounce for standaro 11 it appears that gold is at about 3-10ths per cent. dearer pri ce l oia than in L on don.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SHOPLIFTING AT MESSRS. SWAN AND EDGAR'S.—AIida Blackmann, 13, Park-place, Clarence-gate, Regent's-park, and Marie Lecomte, 11, Alpha-road, Regent's-park, gover ness, were charged with stealing, at 49, Regent-street, black lace lappet, the property of Messrs. Swan and Edgar, silk mercers, &o. The prisoners having made some purchase were observed by the assistant, a young man named Calder, lifting up the article, and on his looking over the counter he saw the article in question on the prisoner Blackmann's knee, aid on afterwards being called into the private room it was found in her bag. Sergeant Draper said the prisoners said it was "a mis. take" when taken by him. The prisoners are both very respectable looking females. Mr. Charles Albert, the interpreter, read over the evi dence to the prisoners, during which the prisoner Black mann conducted herself in a very excited manner. The prisoners both denied the charge and said they were innocent of it. Blackmann said it fell on her knee and she put it by accident into her bag. The prisoners were committed. A PICKPOCKET AT THE HAYMARKET THEATRE.— Robert Owen, 22, who gave a false address, was charged with attempting to pick pockets at the Haymarket Theatre. Brown, 304 A, who is doing duty at the theatre, said that on the previous afternoon, as the audience were leaving the theatre, about 4 o'clock, there having been a day per formance, he noticed the prisoner enter the theatre with a pair of gloves and an umbrella in his hand. The prisoner thon went to the passage of the dress circle, and hung the umbrella up the sleeve of his coat, and this caused him to suspect the prisoner. The prisoner then followed two ladies, who were leaving, placing himself on the right hand side of one, and putting his left hand in the pocket of one of the ladies. He then saw him niake some other attempts, and at last caught his hand in the pocket of an old lady ► and on his asking her if she had lost anything, she replied that she had not ; for she had fortunately got her purse secure in her hand. On searching him ho found on him a gold watch, a chain, and a ring, with the initials "W. R. P." The address the prisoner gave was false. Sergeant Cole, 13 C, said he knew the prisoner to be a thief. On the 23d of January, 1858, he was convicted at this court of robbing a female of her purse, and was sen tence dto three months' imprisonment. He then found on the prisoner a valuable gold ring belonging to a captain in the Indian army, who owned it through the publicity given to the case in the newspapers. He then gave another name. Mr. Lewis, jun., having addressed a few remarks on the prisoner's behalf, The prisoner was committed for three months with hard labour. A MANCHESTER COTTON MILL DESTROYED BrFIRZ Yesterday morning a serious fire broke out in the spinning mills of the Hanover Mills Company, London-road, Manchester. The mills are two in number, an old one seven stories high, and a new one abutting against the other eight stories high, built on the fire-proof principle, the communica tion between the two being cut off by a heavy iron door. The mills started an usual at six o'clock in the morning, with nearly 600 workpeople in the two buildings. The fire commenced about a quar ter past seven o'clock, through the friction of a pulley in the fifth story of the old mill. The flames spread with a rapidity almost inconceivable, but fortunately the workpeople escaped without acci dent, and the energetic manager lost no time in sending for Mr. Rose and his firs brigades, taking such steps in the meantime as were at his command, in the hope of arresting the flames. These, how ever, were quite ineffectual, and when, half an hour later, the fire brigades arrived, the flames were bursting from nearly 100 windows in either front of the old mill, and the whole building appeared to be wrapped in a blaze. All Mr. Rose and his firemen could do was to save the new mill and the engine and boilers. In this they succeeded to a great extent, but not entirely, the top story and roof of the new building being destroyed. In little more than an hour the building in which the fire broke out was a heap of ruins, floor after floor giving way in quick succession before the detroying flames and the great weight of machinery upon them, and dragging down the greater portion of the outer walls upon them. The machi nery cons i s t e d o f 24 pair of mule spinning frames, averaging 650 spin dles each—total, 13,600 ; 30 throstle frames of 280 spindles each—total, 8,400 ; making altogether, 22,000 spindle. There were also 138 carding engines. The loss upon this valuable machinery will be great, and the entire destruction by fire, including build ing, machinery, and cotton, will probably be from £25,000 to £30,000, the greater part of which will most likely be covered b y t h e i nsurances. This, however, will not be the whole loss. The company were supplied with orders for the whole produce of the mill for upwards of th ree months forward, and at a time like this, when the production of such mills is remunerative to an extent almost without parallel in living memory, the loss, which no insur ances will cover, must be very great—probably not under £20,000 in addition to the sum above stated. In estimating the loss from stoppage, it must be note& that though the engines and boilers are safe, yet the machinery in the fireproof mill will have suffered great damage through the water thrown in to put out the fire when it had spread to the top story, and a considerable ti me must elapse ere it will be in working order again. As regards the workpeople, the loss to them will probably be of a temporary character, the great demand for labour rendering it probable that they will soon regain employment. 21118 DA rs MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was scantily supplied with Xngliah wheat, in, for the most part, middling condition. Fine samples commanded quite Monday's currency; but damp qualities were a dull inquiry, at barely late rates. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, with foreign wheat. Mill ers, generally, purchased with extreme caution ; nevertheless, prices were well supported. There was only a li m it e d inquiry for floating cargoes of grain, at late cur renc i es. supplied Notwithstanding that the supplies of both English and foreign barley were on the increase; the barley trade ruled steady, and prices were well supported. Most kinds of malt were a dull inquiry, at late rates; but oats were a slow inquiry. Beans, peas, and flour commanded full quotations. I.IILITALS TIM WIZ Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Fleur.

This committee are anxious that no time should be lost by the country in pronouncing an opinion on this measure, and they respectfully urge that arrangements should be made beforehand by earnest reformers in your locality, to convene a meeting so soon as the details of the bill are before the public. There are, however, prior to the 20th February, two motions before the House of Com mons, respecting which the committee ask your im mediate co-operation. The one is the motion of Mr. T. S. Duncombe, for leave to bring in a bill to pro vide that, at future elections at Gloucester and at Wakefield, the votes be taken by ballot, which comes on next Wednesday, February Bth. The other is the second reading of Mr. Mel lor's bill for the Prevention of Corrupt Practices at Elections, which is fixed for Wednesday, Feb. 15. On behalf of both these measures members of Par liament should be at once communicated with by their constituents, and urged to give personal at tendance and help ; and judicious correspondence with them on these subjects, thus early in the ses sion, will eff e ct ua lly di spe l th e notion that the coun try does not require a real and honest reform bill. The observations of Lord J. Russell to the City de putation are a challenge to the country to do its part in stimulating the members of the House of Commons. His lordship. is reported to have said, ' I only wish all members of Parliament may be in formed of the views of their constituents. There is, as you say, and as I believe, a considerable de gree of feeling on the subject in the country, but there is not much manifestation of feeling in either house of Parliament; and if the constituencies would inform their members of the anxiety which they feel, we should be more likely to arrive at a settlement.' It 'rests with the constituents to deter mine how far his lordship shall have any fur ther ground of complaint. Commending this ex tract to your especial attention, we are, dear sir, yours faithfully, W. HARGREAYES, Chairman; E. S. PRYCE, Secretary." SP ORTIN G INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-YEITERBIY.

THE SCOTTISH UNIVERSITIES AND THE MIDDLE TimPLE.—An important privilege has been recently con ferred on the Universities of Scotland, which to such of our countrymen as look to the English bar as their future pro fession may be of material advantages. The Society of the Middle Temple, on the motion of James Anderson, Esq., Q.C., have resolved that i nembers of the Scottish Universi ties shall in future be adi nitted members of that Inn with out making a deposit of £ 100 on admission; and that mem bers of the Inn who shall,, at the same time, be members of any of tho Scottish Univorsities, shall be entitled to keep a term by dining in the hall any three days. From a commu nication which the Senatun Academicus of the University of Edinburgh have receive d from the learned gentleman with whom this motion ori!7inated, it appears that the term "Members of the Scottish 'Universities" includes not only graduates and members a the General Councils, but all matriculated students.

The amount of traffic for the half-year was the largest they had ever had in any similar period, while the working ex penses were not more than when the receipts were £7OO less. The income from merchandise and lime stone had very much increased. The deputation appointed at the last half-yearly meeting had waited upon the directors of the Stockton and Darlington without any result, but he hoped that it would lead to a railway being constructed between Penrith and Cockermouth.

DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD THAT NEN SHOULD DO UNTO YOU. The many attempts which have continually been made for the endowment of chaplains of all denomi nations from the state funds, induce me to call public attention to the injustice of taxing indis criminately the people for the payment of teachers of religion which many of the payers believe to be in error or schism. However, it must be premised that these views do not interfere with the pro perty of any church or individual. If persons have acquired or received property subject to a charge, they are equally entitled and should be forced to discharge the same as a debtor, although he may object to the appropriation of the money by the creditor. Conscience should never be permitted as an excuse for the non-payment of a debt. With regard to money raised indiscriminately from the nation, either by taxes or local rates, the case is different; for while the churchman may con scientiously object to the spreading of doctrines which he may believe to be erroneous or schismatic, the Dissenter may with equal justice oppose the stipends of the teachers of the doctrine of the Established and Romish Churches, and the Roman to bearing any share of the salaries of the ministers of the Established and Dissenting Churches in workhouses, gaols, lunatic asylums, army, and navy. This will equally bear against the May nooth grant and Regium Donum. Public establishments should, however, at ap pointed times, and subject to proper restrictions, be thrown open to the teachers of every religion. Toleration does not imply endowment of a religion permitted by a state, but it is unjust to allow per sons to acquire property in a country in ignorance that they may afterwards be called to pay for spreading that which they may consider error or schism merely because the popular opinion is in favour of those doctrines. Again, with regard to national education. Adopt. ing the same rule of duty to others and ourselves, opposed as I am to separation of the children, I am equally so to sanctioning the closing of a school to all religion excepting that to which the ma nagers may be biassed. Every educational establishment supported out of the state funds should be thrown open to the teachers of those religions which the parents - Or guardians may seleet to be taught, and rooms should be pro vided for this purpose. When patrons would be unwilling to agree to this rule, no funds should be given them, but, if the district required it, houses should be taken or built either out of the local rates or public funds for the purpose of general education. It may be urged that such establishments would be godless, and religion be totally neglected, but it cannot be supposed in our own country that per sons who confidently believe that the creed which they profess is true, will permit the children who may have been born in the same belief with them selves, to fall over a precipice into everlasting destruction, when we are aware that mission ar ies„, of all sects are spread among the heathen th rou h out the world.—Fronz a Correspondent. _____...-----__ THE NEW STREET CONNECTING COVENT-GAR DEN WITH TILE WEST-END. --yesterday the materials of t n h ai e w ho a u in s the remaining houses and buildings in Rose-street, Long acre, and St. Martin's -lane, the sites of which are required for the western approach to Covent-garden, were :sold by Mess:vs. Pullen and Son, a uctioneers to the Metropolitan Board of Wo a r n k d s. street, Although old and in a dilapidated condition, realised large pr.ices, staircaset %, and a very great weight of lead The new street when finibched will be of considerable importance to growers of garden produce, as it will form a direct line to and - from conTshisetenid aotefrbiarilsekosf, the western roads, by which the largest quantity of vege tables.. are conveyed to the metropolis.

If it be true Jupiter is in the habit of mak ing men the authors of their own ruin—driving those mad whom he wishes to destroy —it is to be feared that Jupiter has some evil intention respect ing Francis Joseph of Austria. All the historical symptoms of a doomed dynasty are now manifesting themselves in Vienna. No sovereign can afford to be at once obstinate and weak. Magenta and Sol ferino have inflicted an indelible disgrace upon the arms of Austria. These defeats have made mani fest to the world that, when compared with France, Austria, ruled by her present Emperor, is but a second-rate Power. The prostration of Austrian financial credit bas made puhlic the fact that Aus tria is poor. Weak in arms and poor in pocket as he is, Europe looks anxiously to discover how this young Emperor, who has so difficult a part to play, demeans himself in the crisis. History has her great men, who have made their fame out of a eon: juncture such as this. It is a moment when the gener 1 sense of danger would have allowed a single mind to break down and to build up. Francis Joseph for a while promised to rise equal to the occasion. When he turned his horse from that square tower upon the Solferino height a great superstition must Lave been swept out of his head. That force up o n w hi c h h e h a d b een taug h t to re l y with implicit confidence was broken, and he could never again believe it to be invincible. Ua happily, the conviction thus rudely pressed upon him could not be kept in secret. It was shared by the whole w or ld. I ta l y knows it, and Hungary knows kinnfoeon it, r i s t oa a n n hd d i s iPrussialoudly s k a n dcw,e knows whilee b t. r a t e l pdt o i bl s iyt k e n tl yh o e w inig n n; t o o irte h dL T : is steadily acted upon. England, France, and Russia cannot but look upon Francis Jose ph as a struggling man whose kingdom is in danger of passing away from him. Under these circumstances the young Emperor seems to combine in himself all the weaknesses of our Charles I. and all the stupid bigotry of our James 11. If there be anything which could tide over this crisis in the fortunes of Austria it would he the loyal and energetic assistance of Hungary. This was once not very difficult to obtain. The Hungarians boast themselves to be the most war like nation in Europe; they are addicted to arms; they were, moreover, traditionally loyal to the house of Hapsburg, and quite ready to expend all their enthusiasm in the service of that exacting house. In that nation Francis Joseph had a great source of military power and the materials for many armies. But his opportunity rested upon two conditions. Hungary is warlike, but she is attached to free institutions ; she is loyal, but she is to a great extent Protestant. Francis Joseph is a despot and a bigot. The difficulty is precisely that which beset our James 11. He, like Francis Joseph, had to govern a Protestant and a free people, whose institutions had been assailed and whose religious fears had been aroused, and he ended by being sneered at by shrewd priests as a simpleton who lost three kingdoms for a mass. Here, in our day, is an Imperial pilgrim travelling in the same path. Hungary is as much attached to her free institutions as our fathers were. Yet she has seen them all swept away, and now lies writhing under a tyranny so heavy that it is even an offence to ask to speak her own language in her own universities. Hungary also is to a great degree Protestant, and her Protestantism is of the most turbulent and uncompromising character. That Cal vinism with which tolerance is a crime is rife among the Hungarians, and now finds itself the object of persecution. How has this young Emperor dealt with this valuable but difficult portion of his em pire ? He has in effect said to it, as was once be fore said with a fatal issue, " My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scor pions." Instead of restoring the institutions which had been taken away, Francis Joseph has made even petitions for such a restoration a crime. He has not only punished all agitation for such an ob ject, but he has proscribed all those who indicated any leaning towards a liberal policy fur Hungary. Baron Hubner was dismissed because he was fa vourable to Hungary ; the Archduke Maximilian was exiled because he recommended concessions to Hungary ; and the Archduke Stephen has refused to accept the government of that country because he recoils from the oppression which his instructions would have compelled him to inflict. So as to their religion. Ho has persecuted the Protestants till even, the Roman Catholic priests cry shame and sympathise with their heretical countrymen, post. poning their bonds of faith to ties of blood. The letters which we publish to-day from Pesth and Vienna tell that this insane young man is going on to ruin with increasing rapidity at every step. A deputation from the Protestants of Hungary has been sent to Vienna to ask for the restoration of the historical rights and the old State recognition of the "Evangelical Church of Hungary;.' to de mand the revocation of the Patent which proscribes the Reformed religion, and to attempt to induce the Emperor to convoke a Protestant Synod. It ap pears that these men, some of whom are of the highest rank, have been refused an audience by the Emperor, and have been rudely scolded and sent away from Vienna by his Ministers. They are gone back again to Hungary, and as they recount the incidents of their stay in Vienna, and repeat the coarse words of insult addressed to them by M. de Rechberg, they are arousing far and wide that for midable religious zeal which the prosecution of the Seven Bishops created in this country. Thus, instead of Hungary being the strength of Austria, she has become her weakness and her great difficulty. Passive resistance and universal hatred reign silent together throughout the land. All Hungarians are united in disaffection to the house of Hapsburg. The Bishop of Erlau and his inferior clergy are as anxious as the Calvinistic Synods to take advantage of any opportunity for making any demonstration against Austria, and they subscribe their thousands of pounds to a Na tional Academy with this object. Count Zay, the leader of the old Conservative party, tells the Em peror that the restoration of Austria to her ancient power is conditional upon the restoration of free institutions in Hungary. The people are all as suming with ostentation the national costume; the Protestants are thrusting themselves forward for persecution ; Francis Joseph . has succeeded by his obstinacy and bigotry in a l ienat i ng the affec tions of a people who only required fair treatment to be the prop of his empire, and he has at the same time by the exhibition of his weakness en couraged them to set his authority at nought. Where will all this end ? It is only to a certaia point that a Conservative Power can rely upon other Conservative Powers to save it in its utmost need. It may be so far gone that its neighbours may deem it hopeless, and find it more costly to support than dangerous when broken up. Here is this empire, lately so strong and so powerful, brought to the brink of ruin. Lombardy is rent away, Central Italy is gone, even the faithful Tyrol is disaffected, Venetia is ardent for revolt, Hungary is awaiting only the first occasion for armed resistance, and Croatia and Servia are ready to unite with her. Yet, in the midst of this stands Francis Joseph, weighed down with the Concordat, his confessor and director instigating his every act, persevering, with the indomitable stupidity of the Hapsburgs, in heaping up religious hatreds upon political discontents, and labouring blindly until some casual hand shall fire the pile.—.7intes. UNIVERSITY RIOT AT EDINBURGH. A skirmish took place on Monday between the students of the Edinburgh University and the police. The disturbance began with playful snowballing, but led eventually to more serious results. The .'cots»zan says, that with the object of preventing collisions between " town and gown," the policemen quietly patrolled up and down in front of the col h•ge with their batons, but it soon became evident that the students regarded this as an insult, which they were determined to resent. One or two of them were so unlucky es to be seen snowballing out side the gates, and were at once taken into custody. This was considered a strong provocative by th • sta. dents, who discharged volleys of snowballs at the officers, and knocked one or two of their hats off. The police, after a time, made a dash into the en blows from the closure. A general snow-skirmish was the result, hard d ho figured prominently and in a short a in n d th t e wo m o el r e t e h , r r e e e e s e t i u v d ed ent h s a , con stables' batons. Thirty or forty of the more impe tuous had met with severe handling n d encouraged by a cry of " sticks," welkin g -sticks rushed through the entrance i iinto ttohteheQ collegian s, straederta, rin d s e e d ve w ra i l th to c y o - m sh m op on s, w hi c h, in some instances, were daringly fl • flourished in the faces of the policemen. As the day wore on the combatants got more and more e • time literally appeared b e s i besiege d armed excited, and the capture of a student being the • immediate cause, a melee took place. Sticks andbatons were used with remarkable vigour, end in some cases with serious results—policem en and s t u dents were knocked down, and many came out of with blood. It the melee with faces streaming seemed, to use the phrase of a by stander, "as if the h 1 w o e street was fighting." Five or six more arrests were made in the course of this severe struggle, and the prisoners were marched off to the High-street. Towards four o'clock the dis turbances, which had in a great measure subsided, again broke out with renewed fury, and the street was, if possible, in a worse uproar than, before. A number of magistrates and profess(Jrs had now arrived at the scene of action, and endeavoured to restore order ; but the students inF,lsted, as the first condition of peace, that the policr.l should withdraw, ' and in deference to this loudly-expressed wish, the superintendents withdrew their forces from the college to the School of Artti close by. This happily closed the riot. 12i 10 Stock Stock Stock 50 Stock Stock Stock Stockl Stock] Stock' Stock Stock) Stock Stock Stock Stock; Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock 12 10 Stock 10 Stock: tock ;ES A: 9311 I 291 I 97 3 SI I 109 i f lilt i 281 8 100 I Stk 1 ( 100 100 100 Stock Stock al l all all al I all 101 i 76 98 1 1 - 4f4
