MONEY M.ARK ET A i:TD COMMERCJAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Daring the past few days the markets for foreign and colonial produce have not been quite so active. For the superior descriptions of sugar suitable for home consumption full rates are current, but in ferior kinds are at a slight recluctiDn in value. Tea has been steady, but coffee, rum, and rice have each exhibited a downward tendency. Cocoa has met with a rather better demand, and prices have slightly improved. For Fruit there is a moderate inquiry, and old currants, for home con sumption, have been in demand at full values. Saltpetre has been inactive, and a decline of about ls• per cwt. was at one time acceded to by holders. Tallow has been very quiet, and lower rates are now current. At public sale, out of 511 casks offered, only 65 were sold. P.Y.C., on the spot, i 8 now quoted 525. 3d. spot, and 52i. for March delivery. The Bank of Prussia have reduced their rate of interest to 4 per Cent. for Bills, and to 5 per cent. for advances. Money throughout the Con tinent is becoming very easy, owing to the inac- tivity of trade. Nearly 100,0001. was sent into the Bank of el England yesterday. 11 With the exception of the Commercial, which has ei flied its rate for new deposits at 2 per Cent., the Z . Joint Stock Bauks have made no alteration, con- st Sequent upon the reduction in the Bank minimum. St Notice has been given to the holders of Buenos 12 Ayres Bonds, that Messrs. Baring Brothers will 5C be prepared on and after the 16th inst. to receive ?.f the arrear coupons, in exchange for provisional receipts, to be retained until the New Bonds have I , rrived from the Republic. The amount to be funded is 1,641,0001. A. further issue of 6 per Cent. Debentures for 1,164,2001. is proposed by the Grand Trunk Rail way of Canada. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there was less animation, and values of all descriptions were without any material alteration. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, 2,300 of which were taken by the exporters. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and a fair amount of business was transacted, at fully previous rates. The demand for money in Lembard-street and at the Bank of England is still very limited, and as the payments of the 4th of the month are con cluded, and the Consol account is arranged, it is thought that the market will become even easier than at present. Bills are negotiated at 24 to 2i per cent., so that a further reduction in the mini mum may soon take place. The market for English Securities has been rather buoyant, and business is recorded at an advance of 4 per cent. Purchases to a moderate extent have been mr.dee A very favourable Bank return is expected this evening, and as it is now supposed that the amount of the Indian loan will bo small, a much better feeling prevails. Consols for money have been 93 and for account, 96 to 964. They are now 95/ and 96 respectively, being a trifle flatter. The New 3 per Cents. are marked 951 to 964 ; the Reduced, 9 58 96.

(Before Lord Campbell and a Common Jury ) MALES Y. TOWNSEND, K.P. This was an action to recover 45/. on a bill of exchange. It appeared from the plaintiff's ca , ,e that Mr. Lucas, forme/1y manager of the Kentish, Mercury and now part proprietor, was engaged by the defendant as his election agent in March last, the paper usiin its influence against the defendant through the in strumentality of the other partner. After the election was over the defendant agreed to give Lucas 50 guineas as a remuneration for his trouble. In June, Lucas being indebted to Mr. Bryant - in a sum of 451. for money advanced on a bill of sal.e, and being desirous of leaving Greenwich fur London, he applied t Bryant, who agreed to give up his claim on receiving a bill of exchange from him accepted by the defendant. The bill was given for four months, and just before it became due ho wrota to the defendant, informing him of it, and asking what he was to do with it. The defend ant wrote to Lucas, stating he had been dreadfully put to it lately, as he must be aware, and that it was impossible for him to meet the bill. He would, however, try and make arrangements for paying over half, leaving Lucas to provide the other half. After the bill became due, the defendant offered to renew it with a bill for 601. payable in 12 months by 51. monthly instalments, the idea of raising the money through a loan office being abandoned on account of the expense. The offer, however was not accepted, and the plaintiff came forward and paid the money. For theddence it was contended that the bill was an accommodation bill for Lucas, and was given without consideration, and Mr. Townsend went into the box and stated that Lucas was a friendly agent and not a paid one. After his election, he never provided him any remuneration, Lucas called on him and asked him to assist him, and he agreed to accept the bill in question on the express unerstanding that Lucas should meet the bill on its coming to maturity, a'l his subsequent acts were guided by the under standing betwern them. Atter the bill became due, Bryant proceeded against witness for the recovery of the amount of the bill in the County Court • but before the day of hearing the defendant received a note from Bryant, stating that the money had been paid by Lucas's attorney. In the course of his conversation with Lucas respecting the bill, he offered to give him 251., not ad mitting his liability for services rendered. Lucas was one of 15 electors who started him for the representation, and on the night before went into figures at defendant's house as to what it would cost him. .... __ The learned Judge having summed up, The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 451. Bs. COURT OF COMMON PLEA.S. (Before Mr. Justioe Bylas and a Special Jury.) DALTON V. THE SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

WIFE BEATING —An Irt , hrnan, named Macarthy, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with assaulting hie wife. Catherine Macarthy, whose appearanc3 wag anything but prepossessing, than made her appearance in the witness-box. The oath having been repeated, the complainant commenced a regular Irish how!, and begged to be s x3used kissing the book on account of its being the first book she ha I ever kissed against her husband. After a great deal of howling and crying she at last took the oath, and then proceeded with her aocount of the transaction. From her statement it appeared that the prisoner early this morning got up from his bed, while in a state of intoxication, and com menced beating her. The Magistrate—You don't moan to say he got np and without saying a word commenced beating you, do you ? Complainant— Oh, yea, your worship, but I had been jawing him for some tune before because he would not give me any money to buy something to oat. The villain has kept me three days without giving me money to break my fast with. Magistrate—What did be hit you with ? I think, however, you might as well Lave washed your face before you came here. You do no good by appearing in the dirty state you now are. Complainant— Oh, your worship, he beat me with his hands and sticks and other things, and nearly killed me, as my marks show, but I've marks where I can't show. (Laughter.) He I !rinks all his moneyaway. He called me bad tames, your worship, and then I called him the same. Magistrate to the prisoner—What have you to say to beating your wife I Prisoner—She's constantly jawing me about getting drunk—but I don't. Why it was only yesterday morning she came up to me in bed and gave me a licking with the poker. She takes away my boot•, so I can't get out, and it was only the other day she locked me in the room from morning till night, and kept mo a regular prisonar. She el mays wants to be master. This morning she commenced the row by hitting me with a plate which out my face. Mr. Jardine—l see how it is, I shall this time merely bind you over in your own recognizances to keep the peace for four months, and if you beat your wife in that time you will be sent to jail. Mrs. Macarthy left the court highly pleased with the doision, MA RLI3O ROUGH-STREET. PICKING POCKETS.—Robert Smith, aged 27, was charged with picking the pocket of Mr. William Gilbert, a gentleman residing at 18, Tavistock-street, Bedford-,quare, of a silk handkerchief. The prosecutor said, while in St. Martin's-lane, and near the National Gallery, yesterday afternoon, about 8 o'clock, he thought he felt some one at his coat pocket, and, on turning, saw the prisoner making quickly from him. As the prisoner ran he could see an end of his handkerchief in his hand, and immediately pursued him, and, after a sharp chase, overtook him, when he directly accused him of the robbery, and took the handkerchief from him. The prisoner had offered is give it up if prosecutor would forgive him, and not give Lim in charge. Inspector Burnet received the prisoner from police. man, C 47, on the above-mentioned charge, and found on him another silk handkerchief, which ho suspected he had also not come honestly by. He had askekbitu if there was a mark on it, and prisoner said there was not, but on examining the same a mark had been found. Welsh, the gaoler, said the prisoner bad been con victed at this court, but could not say it was fcr felony. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and asked for mercy. He was in want. Mr. Bingham said if he was indeed in distress he must apply to the workhouse, and must not think to live by depredation. Three months and hard labour. John Griffiths, aged 18, and John Baile y , 16, were likewise charged with attempting to pick the pockets of ladies in a large crowd of persons collected to see her Majesty enter the Princesses Theatre yesterday evening. Detective officer Lambert said he saw the two prisoners together in the crowd on the left of two ladies, , Griffiths being nearest to her. He ERW him withdraw his hand from the skirts of her dress, the other tellin g him in strong language to shift his quarters. Witness followed, as they moved to the thickest part of the throng, still keeping his eye upon them. The prisoners took up their place adjacent to several females, and witness presently saw Bailey taking his hand out of a lady's pocket, and laid hold of him, and with police assistance, which was at band, the other was secured at the same time, and conveyed to the station. The officer said be knew the prisoner Bailey as a bad character, but not Griffiths. Remanded till this day week. C.APH 01! GOOD HOPE. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY NlaitT. The barque Sophie, Capt.

THE THREATENING ADDRESSES OF THE FRENCH REGIMtNTS. The Constitutionike/ of Wednesday, in the fol lowing article, represents the publication of the threatening military addresses in the Moniteur as a retaliation for Lord Palmerston's speech at the Mansion House : " Several London journals take warm notice of the energetic sentiments manifested in the army. They are surprised that addresses from certain . colonels and generals sh ou ld h ave been inserted in the Moniteur. The ' rud e f ran kness' of this mill tarp language alarms th em ; th e ir susceptibility complains that among the testimonials of devotion to the Emperor and the Imperial throne there are some protests very roundly expressed against the hospitality which shelters conspirators and assas sins. They are too susceptible and e xigent. Were our officers and soldier s t o s h r i n k from giving full utterance to their pat r i o ti sm an d indignation for fear of displeasing th e E ng li s h p res s ? Was it for them to restrain the fi rs t ar d our o f their emotion by considerations which could only arise after re flection ? The French army thought only of trans lating into natural language its sentiment of abso lute adherence to the Imperial Government. The odious and cowardly attempt against the persons of their Majesties inspired our soldiers with warm, spontaneous, and altogether military eloquence, and it is this vigour of expression proceeding from the heart which renders so precious in the eyes of the Emperor a n d th e na ti on t h ese a dd res ses, which have unnecessarily caused alarm on the other side of the Channel. England, moreover, could not with a good grace reproach our army for having expressed itself with too much energy after an event such as that of Jan. 14. It should be re membered that in London a few months ago a man who was not a soldier, but an eminent statesman, pronounced a singularly intemperate speech. We, in France, were content to smile at the harangue of the minister, and we think that England has no right to be astonished if the columns of the Moniteur reproduce the manly and heartfelt testi mony of devotion to the Emperor and the Impe rial dynasty so spontaneously offered by the French army." MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. During the prasent week only a limited supply of Eng lish wheat has come to hand, coastwise and by land car riage.

Lord DUNGANNON presented a petition from St. Asaph against the Religious Worship Amendment Bill ; also a petition from the rural deanery of Ellesmere, in the diocese of Litchfield, to the same effect. Lord SHARCESBURY presented a number of peti tions in favour of the bill. THE PASSPORT SYSTEM. Lord STANHOPE, seeing, the noble earl the Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs in his place, begged to ask what course would be pursued for the future with respect to giving passports to British subjects going to the Continent. He had been informed that the French Government had given notice to Her Majesty's Govern ment that they would not, for the future, recognise pteesp its given to foreign subjects by the French con suls in this country. He thought that the present moment was a good opportunity of doing away with the anomaly altogether. The - Earl of CLARENDON said only a few days ago, tht ye had received an intimation from the French Government to put an end to the system of French con sular agents granting passports to British subjects. He entirely concurred with the object if it was intended to adhere to the passport system, as at present any , person calling himself a British subject obtained a pass port without the slightest d.fficulty. By this means some of the most dangerous persons—persons to whom the French Government had the greatest objaction— might travel lihrough France as British subjecte. We had never icterttred heretofore with the eye tem of passports, because we attached no importance to them. Any person was free to leave er enter this country without being provided with such a document ; and he did not think there was any reason at the present moment to break through the rule. He had no doubt that the whole system would soon be abolished, as it . was the in tention of the Government to invite other countries to a uindon the passport system. (Hear, hear.) THE ENGLISH ENGINEERS AT NAPLES. Earl GREY presented a petition urging upon her Majesty's Gouernment to interfere to procure the liberation of the two Bntiele subjects at present in confinement at Naptee. The noble lord ❑rged on the Government the necessity of attending to the prayer of the petition. The Earl of CLARENDON said the subject alluded to by the noble earl had excited great interest., and at the outset he begged to inform the:house that those two perzoris had not suffered any inconvenieece from the interruption of our amicable relations with the Neapoli tan Government. It was but just t r the Govern ment t s sey that no unnecessary harshness had been exercised towards those men ; on the contrary, he believed that they had been treated with much more consideration than they would have been bad they been nativee. The noble lord then detaded the circumstances connected with the arrest of the men on board the steamer Cagliari. He thought the government had no right to interfere so long a 3 the Neapolitan Government pursued the regular course Lid down by the law of the land. There was no doubt the engineers had not been parties to the in- surrcctionary movement of the Sicilians who took pos session of the steamer in July last. He knew it had been said her Majesty's Government ought to have taken more vigorous measures, but they had no right whatever to call upon the Neapolitan Government to depart from the ordinary course of law. ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY. A congratulatory address to ber 'Majesty, on the occasion of the marriage of the Princess _Royal, on the motion of E.irl GRA.NVILLE, seconded by the Earl of DERBY, was agreed to unanimously.

BARING gave notice that on an early day he would present a petition from the East India Com pany against any change in the constitution of the East India Company during the continuance of the present unhappy disturbances in India, and until after full previous inquiry. (Hear, hear.) ARMY WARRANT OF 1854. General PEEL asked the Under Secretary f,r War what steps were to be taken to remedy the evils which hb admitted ou the part of the military authorities had arisen from the operation of the Warrant of 1854. Sir J. RAMSDEN said the provisions of the warrant had been under the consideration of the military autho rities; but as yet they had not been able to decide on any plan that would immediately conduce to the efficiency of the service, and operate mere favourably for the officers themselves. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK TRIAL. In answer to a question from Colonel STEW ART, The 'ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had never hesitated in his resolution to carry on the prosecution of the Royal British Bank directors in the most effective manner. The only doubt he felt was whether he ought not to institute other prosecutions of a similar nature. (Hear, hear.) TRANSFER, &c., OF LAND. Sir F. KELLY asked the Attorney-General whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to bring in any bill for the Registration of Titles, and the facilitating the Transfer of Land ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said be had prepared a measure for the registration of titles, but from certain objections he would not be able to proceed with it for the present. A measure for the transfer of land would shortly be introduced into the other house. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES (IRELAND), AND GRAND JURY LAWS (IRELAND). Mr. HUME asked the Secretary of State fur Ireland whether he meant to introduce a bill this session, and if so, how soon, for the better regulation of the Weights and Measures of Ireland. Also, whether he meant to introduce a bill for the amendment of the Grand Jury Laws ot that country. Mr. H. HERBERT said be had given notice of a measure that would effect the first question. He had a bill for the second in a forward state. SERJEANT CARAUGH. Colonel FRENCH asked the Undtr Secretary for War if it was the intention of the Minister for War to advise her Majesty to confer any mark of favour on Serjeant Caraugh, at the 88:h, for his gallantry in pass ing through the rebel army, with important information from Lucknow to Sir Colin Campbel:. Sr J. RAMSDEN said - that the gallant colonel was under a mistake as to the identity of the person referred to. There was no such person on the muster roll of the 88th. A Mr. Caraugh, a civil servant, was the person, and the Governer-Geoeral of India had mentioned him in it general order. When the Government received information of his conduct, it would meet with that Attention it deserved. ORDERS OF THE DAY. On tlie motion of Lord PALMERSTON the orders of the day were postponed, to take into consideration the vote ot congratulation to the Queen on the Princess Roysl's marriage. PRINCESS ROYAL'S MARRIAGE. Viscount PALMERT ON moved an address of con gratulation to her Majesty on the marriage o f t h e p riu . coos Royal with Prince Frederick WilhEtrri of Pru,sia. Re said it was no I,s gratifying to him t o d o so than ne felt sure it would be acceptable to the house. No e vert since the marriage of her Majesty had so muo ulisted the Icelogß, and excited so fauchintercst amongst the whole of the British nation as the marriage of her Royal Highness, and there could be no stronger proof of the fact than the immense multitude who a few days ago assembled in the metropolis, in the inclemency of a winter day, with the snow falling and a biting wind, to bid a last farewell to her Royal Highness on her quitting her native shores for the country of her adoption. After referring to the amiable qualities of KR.II, he said that such marriages were often the result cf political conveni ence, but in this case, he was happy to say, it was one of affection, after a lengthened acquaintance between the illustrious personages, and was likely to secure domestic happiness. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord con cluded by moving that the address should be presented to her Majesty by the whole house, feeling satisfied that that mode of presentation would be as gratifying to the members of the house as, he was authorised to state, it would be to her Majesty herself. (Cheers ) His lordship moved the addrisF. Mr. DISRAELI seconded the motion. He re-echoed what had been stated by Lord Palmerston, and con cluded by observing that he hoped when the day came that her Royal Highness became Queen of Prussia she would be as popular amongst her subjects as her Ma jesty was amongst her English subjects. (Cheers.) The motion was then put and carried unanimously. On the motion of Lord PALMERSTON, the house was adjourned till to-morrow at 2 o'clock, to assemble then for the purpose of proceeding to the Queen with the address. THE LATE ASSASSINATION OF THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH. Mr. ROEBUCK moved the adjournment of the house to put a question to the First Lord of the Treasury relative to what had occured since the late attempt on the life of the Emperor of the French. ( Rear, hear.) Ile referred to the addresses . from the army, that had appeared in the 4fontteur, and published by authority, which contained expressions against the English nation that were to be regretted. Ile evidenced the conduct of the Emperor of the French in so putting them forth, he himself having been a refugee in this country, and acted the part ofaconspirator. If the Govern ment altered the alien laws, in consequence it would be a violation of the principles of the constitution, disgrace in the face of the world, and we should fail to be a great people like our forefathers. Re also referred to M. Persigyn's remarks, the Ambassador at this Court, and concluded by asking whether any correspondence had passed between the two governments on the sukject of the Alien Bill, or on the subject of any alteration in our criminal node. Lord PALMERSTON said ho_ felt no difficulty in answering the question. A despatch had been addressed by the Mini,ter of France to the FrenchAinhassailor in London, bearing on the late transaction, instructing biro to urge the Erglish Government to take such measures as they might in their wisdom think fit in reference to the circumstances, but not pointing out any measure to be adopted, but simply stating the fact to the Govern ment. He had no oljection to lay the document before Parliament. He defended M. Persigny and the other individuals included the hon. member for Shef field's unbridled license of attacks he indulged in on every living man at home and abroad. Mr. RORSMAN defended the conduct of Mr. Roebuck from the attack of the noble lord, and called on the Attorney-General to give an opinion on the effect of the alien laws in reference to rtfugeee. He hopel the papers woull be produced before Monday, when the hon. gentleman proposed to bring on his motion. Lord P..IIIMERSTON—Yes. Mr. ROEBUCK replied, observing that he treated the attack of the noble lord as the idle wind, which he heedLd not. This country had defied Napoleon the Great, and ho treated with equal contempt Napoleon the Little. The motion was then withdrawn. LADY HAVELOCK AND Silt H. HAVELOCK'S ANNUITY. The Loose went into committee to agree to a resolu tion on which to found a bill for granting an annuity to Lady Havelock and Sir IL Havelock. Toe CHANCELLOR of the EXOIIEQUER having referred to what transpired in that house before the Christmas recess, Illative to granting a pension of 1,0001. a-year for the two lives of the late Sir H. Havelock and his soli, pr..pased on the part of the Government an annuity of 1,0001. for Lady Have lock, and a like annuity of 1,0001. a-year to the present Sir H. Havelock. who had so greatly distinguished himself in the Rita, and proved himself worthy of the gallant deeds of his father. He entered the army iu 1847, was made a lieutenant in 1843, and a captain in 1857. Sir C. Campbell hAd mentioned him very highly in his despatches, and the Victoria Cross had been given to biro for his bravery before C %wnpore. (Hear, hear.) He had also greatly distinguished hiuteelf in ad his late gallant father's engage:nem:a since the outbreak of the mutiny. Ho had no doubt the votes would be unaniinonely agreed to by the house. Sir J. PAKINGTON seconded the motion, observing that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had rightly inter pretedi the feeling' of the house that the vote would be unanimous. He spoke of the gallantry and bravery of the late Goneral Havelock and the present Sir Henry and maid the Government had done no more than their duty in proposing this vote. He was fol lowing well in his father's steps, and he hoped that he would live long to enjoy his dignity and pension. Mr. KINNAIRD also addressed the house is favour of the grant. The Hon. Mr. BYNG expressed his entire approba tion of the motion before the house. He expressed his sorrow at tt e death of Gen. Havelock, and his admira tion of his deeds. The vote was ultimately unanimously agreed to. (LEFT SITTING.) LONDON GAZETTE.—(This Evening. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, FEB 5.
