MONEY MARKET d'OD CCx VIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with a steady appearance, and prices of all descrip tions were fully supported. The sales wore esti mated at 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken on speculation and 1,000 for export. The Railway Share Market manifested a better feeling, in con sequence of the reduction in the rate of discount:by the Bank of England, and quotations slightly ad vanced. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last two or three days has been active, a good demand having been experienced for the better qualities of both Foreign and Colonial sugar. For the finer descriptions prices have ad vanced about Is. to 2s. per cwt., but rather lower rates are current for other sorts. Tea has been extremely firm, and medium Congous at public auction met a ready sale at an ad vance of 2d. per lb. Common Congous advanced id. to id. per lb. A fair amount of business has been reported in coffee, and Plantation Ceylon has improved in value about is. per cwt. Cocoa has been dull, the late large arrivals having fully stocked the market. Rice has been dealt in to a fair extent, at about previous rates, and fruit, spices, and saltpetre have slightly advanced. For tallow there has been a brisk demand, and P.Y.C. has improved ; on the spot 555., and January to March delivery 565. per cwt. The relief afforded by the alteration in the Bank of England rate of discount is scarcely yet ascer tained, the demand being temporarily maintained in consequence of many persons who anticipated the change having delayed obtaining what they required until after the weekly court. Still, however, the discount firms will freely negotiate first-class bills under the minimum, 5i and 51 hav ing been accepted in exceptional oases. Early next week increased easiness will probably be experi enced, because the general inquiry is slackening, while there is a decided increase in the supply. Indeed, the banks and private firms have already a superabundance, and notwithstanding the reduction made in the, terms of interest, they will hence forth allow for deposits. They will no doubt continue to receive extensive offers of money, from various sources. Under these circumstances the competi tion that must exist will soon lead to a further re duction in the charge for discount accommodation. About 93,0001. in gold was added to the metallic reserves of the Bank of England yesterday, and the total must now exceed twelve millions and a half sterling. This day the half-yearly meeting of the Com mercial Dock Company was held at the offices, when a dividend of 2/. 10s. for the half-year was declared. The report briefly stated that the num ber of ships which entered the docks in 1857 was 1,061, against 939 in 1856. The Funds, after a sudden fall of about per cent, have now recovered to their former position, and an extensive business, chiefly of a routine cha racter and connected with the settlement, has been done. Consols for money have been 941 -I, and as low as 94 while for Feb. 4, they dropped from 95i to 94i I. The prices are now 942- / and 95 respectively. The settlement is one of the heaviest known for a long time past, and two failutes are already announced. The New Three per Cents. have ranged from 94i to 951, and the Reduced are marked 941 and 94g. Bank Stock is firm at 220. Exchequer Bills are 9s. to 12s. prem. The Market for Foreign Securities has continued quiet, and the prices rather fluctuating.

Chester and 100 Holyhead, Great Northern, Great Western, Brighton, Midland, Norfolk, North-Eastern 20 `" (Berwick), South-Eastern, Sout h Wales, declined F,9, 10s. ; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dun dee, North Bri- 20 tish, 15s.

The Foreign and Colonial 20 20 lines were in very limited request, and the varia -20 tions unimportant. Great Luxembourg declined about 55.; and Sambre and Meuse advanced ss. ___ Grand Trunk of Canada receded 21. ; Great Western 10 of Canada, ss. ; and East Indian 2C Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares have 2( been almost neglected. London and Westminster improved about 10s. ; Australian Agricultural, Crystal Palace, and National Discount Company were dealt in at former quotations.

His nature was above levity and jokes ; they seemed out of place when addressed to him. He was slow of comprehending them, and they slunk as it were abashed out of his society. " He always seemed great to me," says Harry Warring. ton, in one of his letters many years after the date of which we are writing ; "and I never thought of him otherwise than of a hero. When he came over to Castlewood and taught us boys surveying, to see him riding to hounds was as if he was charging an army. If he fired a shot I thought the bird must come down, and if he flung a net the largest fish in the river were sure to ( be in it. His words were always few, but they were I always wise ; they were not idle, as our words are, they were grave, sober, and strong, and ready on occasion to do their duty. In spite of his antipathy to him, my brother respected and admired the General as much as I did—that is to say, mot e than any mortal man."—The Virginians, No. 3. 1 20 50 20 25 5 - 8 - 10 1 .kmbg.

From the evidence of the prosecutrix, it appeared that about 10 o'clock in the morning she quitted her room, the first floor back, to go down into the kitchen, not being absent more than five minutes, and upon her return found the prisoner, who was an entire stranger to her, busily engaged emptying her drawers, from which she bad taken a variety of things, some of which she had packed up ready for removal. Upon being asked what she wanted there, she said it was all a mistake, as she fancied the room belonged to somebody else, who was a friend of hers, from whom she was about to borrow the things for a little while. Upon being given into custody, however, she admitted that she intended to steal them, pleading poverty as an excuse, and begging to be permitted to go. She gave an address to the officer where she said her brother lived, but upon inquiry he found the man re ferred to was not her brother, but one with whom she cohabited. Oa searching her a large bunch of door keys were found upon her, which had no doubt been used to open doors for the purposes of robbery, as numerous depredations had recently been committed in the same locality. At her lodgings were also found 31 pawnbrokers' duplicates, and a letter from her hus band, dated from Coldbath-fields, where he was then suffering a twelvemonth's imprisonment. The man with whom she lived, moreover, was considered honest and industrious. She was sentenced to four months' imprisonment with hard labour, an announcement which produced a violent hysterical shriek. -- - WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL ROBBERIES BY A GRERADIER.—CharIes Crew, one of the Grenadier Guards, was placed at the bar, charged with the commission of the following disgraceful felonies : Aaron Cooke Bourne, journeyman in the service of Mr. Berry, of 12, Stafford-row, Pimlico, said that last evening, about half-past sir, the prisoner came into the shop, and pointing to a particular watch in the window, requested to be shown it. It was put before him, and after examining it he requested to be shown others more 'valuable. Having got one value Si. 10s. in his hand, he said, " Let me sea the one you first showed me,' and while witness turned round to get it the accused darted off with the one he held in his hand. He was instantly pursued, and ultimately secured. Adam Munfatroyd, an undertaker, living in Stafford row, said he pursued prisoner for a great distance, and took him with the watch in his hand. Mr. Frederick Berry, son of the owner of the watch, proved that prisoner had committed another robbery of a like description at his shop in Parliament-strest, so well known in connection with the lamentable occur rence which took place there a short time ago. He said that on Wednesday night the prisoner came in and desired to be shown some watches; when, taking witness off his guard, he darted out of the shop with a watch. Witness lost sight of him directly. When prisoner was taken to the station upon the other charge, witness im mediately recognised him. A third case from a pawnbroker's at the east end of the town showed that prisoner bad committed a robbery there ander precisely similar circumstances. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday. MARKET NEWB.—(Thls Day.) CORN EXCIIANGE. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was limited ; consequently, the show of samples small. For most kinds we had a steady but by no means active demand, and Monday's advance in the quotations was well supported. Nearly 12,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come fresh to hand this week. Good heavy samples ruled steady, at fall prices, but inferior qualities were neglected. There was a fair demand for both barley and malt, and prices were well supported. The show of oats was limited. Most kinds were in re quest, and the burn dearer. In beans and peas very little was passing, on former terms. We had a fair demand for flour, and Norfolk qualities were rather higher than on Monday.

The Adelaide steamer conveyed us to Portland, in. Maine, where we obtained our first lesson in the enter prise of the States. I do not now speak of the commerce nor of the jetties which are in the course of erection as the lauding-place of the Great Eastern. I allude to the hotel system. It has been described too often to require that I should go over the ground again. It is certainly well adapted to those who lead an unsettled life, and consequently displays the wisdom of the peoplein accom modating themselves to the part they have so largely to play in the world's history—the part, I mean, of pioneers—of an advanced guard to reduce to their do minion the boundless expanse of forest and prairie land which forms the background of their immediate position, No sooner is a village planted than two or three hotels rise out of the dust—large rough buildings at first. As the village grows into a town, mere costly erections fol low, until at last a superb palace springs up and be comes, as in the Eastern tale, a caravanserai. The pas sengers by the Great Eastern will probably find the new hotel at Portland ready to receive them. When I saw it g the principal elevation of white tumble was complete, and it struck me that the beauty of the design corres. ponded with that of the material. Perhaps it is rather smaller than might have been expected. In most of the principal towns the hotels are of unwieldy dimensions. The largest in the States is said to make up 3,000 beds. This is, no doubt, a great exaggeration, but the princi pal houses in New York do make up about 1,000 beds each, and the style of the public rooms is quite princely. Too simplicity of the mode of accounting is admirably suited to a progressing people. On entering the office, you write your name in a book. The clerk enters oppo. site to it the hour, or rather whether it is before or after dinner, and the number of your room. You are then free to the house, and must look after your own interest. No one will trouble himself whether you eat all day, or eat not at all, and you will pay the same in either ease—about 10s. per day. I had the curiosity to count the number of entries, along with my own, on the day I arrived at the St. Nicholas, in New York, and about hotels, I will now found it As Iha 2 v s. e o just been speaking draw to a conclusion my remarks on American travel. ling, by saying, in one word, that if you have no squeam ishness about spitting, you will find all the arrangements as perfect as can be desired. Your luggage is safely stowed in your waistcoat pocket in the shape of a label, and you may travel a thousand miles by half a dozen lines of railway without giving it even a thought. A. lady travelling alone finds a separate window devoted to her use at the stations, where she may take out her ticket apart from the crowd. She finds a separate car riage in the train, into which gentlemen unaccompanied by ladies are forbidden to enter. At the principal hotels she finds a separate entrance, and the master of the house thinks it his duty to attend personally to her wants. If she goes to the post-office for her letters, she finds a separate window railed off for her convenience ; and should she return to the hotel five minutes after the dinner bell has rung, she finds the lobbies crowded by a set of hungry gentlemen, who dare not enter the dining room until she has taken her seat. This is the perfection of travelling arrangements, but to an unaccustomed traveller, male or female, it is all clouded and disfigured by the vile habit of spitting. Doubtless, the presence of the ladies is some check on this filthy practice. What it might be I dare not ectojec ture. What it is, amply suffices to mar the beauty of outer life in America. Yon meet it at every turn. Marble pavements and Turkey carpets are alike constantly and copiously befouled. Spitting is the monster vice of the country. Next to slavery, it is the great obstacle in the way of perfect civilisation. Do you ask me how t I will tell you that it promotes and keeps up a want of social union between the sexes. If you look into the drawing-rooms of an hotel, you will see elegantly-dressed for occupation — some listlessly oscillating ladies i n the p h i o ning horrid rocking chairs—some nervously passing from the mirrors to the windows, anxious, perhaps, that others should enjoy a sight which has gratified them selves so much—whilst the lobbies, and the bar, and the tobacco-rooms are crowded with their husbands and brothers—aye, and their lovers, too, perhaps, who dare not spit before the ladies. I counted at one time, in an hotel in Kentucky, 125 gentlemen in the lobby, the pavement of which they bad rendered slippery and un -1 safe to the feet.—Kelland's Transatlantic-Sketches. s _ IMPORTANCE OF SELF-KNOWLEDGE. We find, then, that there exists rules for our guidance in judging of the amount of exercise requisite fte. health —rules by no means difficult to follow. Still, they are general, not individual. Each must be more or less hie own guide as to what is good for him. He must listen to the kind hints, obey the kind whisperings, of nature, who is ever watching to point out man's wanderings and lead back to health and happiness. And thus we see that judgment, and discretion, and wakefulness of perception, and a certain knowledge of ourselves, are absolutely essential that we may keep the laws of health. And here behold the bitter bane of ignorance. Ignoranceis no more capable of obeying Nature's laws, than vice of following in virtue's ways. God has given instinct to the brutes, but reason to man. They are guided in the laws of life by instinct—man must be led to obelietin by reason. If it were possible to find a brute existing in a manner con trary to the promptings of instinct, we might compare the wretched animal to the man who is not guided by reason in his mode of living. How clearly does this die• monstrate that heft), e a nation can be healthful and happy, ignorance must be rooted out. How can a people enjoy health who do not obey the laws of health . t . and how can they obey laws o f which the y know positively nothing—of which they have sever se much as hearcl! Let him, then, who is anxious for the a dvancement of his race, show himself anxious for the diffusion of knowledge. When a knowledge of life's laws shall be spread among the people, when truths now known to few shall be known to many, when philanthropy shall abridge the hours of labour, and the poor havedt word,ha th a t wto l t e thh a eb s en t e ittohhsboaurp compelledil oppor tunity ionorg fmht t ro u uoo n mbmr i re t ae y tnahi ket fy Go d ' s durable joys y v a s i ns shallotg than baoaenthot others arneseyy ordinances— i n e 0 0 u n v h i n t a , c e a d n are whichfa r mere more gold pure, can more purchase, deep, then will nations begin to feel how great, how strangely great, the error of supposing that God's wonderful, beau tiful, perfect world is ordained as'a world of woe.' When we cast our eyes around our country—when we look from the families of the affluent, feeble and unhappy from too much ease, down to the miserable huts and hovels of our wretched, o'er-worked poor, and behold, in every nook and corner of the land, fearful violations of the laws ordained to govern man—when we consider that we are surrounded by hundreds of thousands of our fel low-creatures who are positively compelled, whatever be their wills, to break the la ws of God to earn their daily bread—and then when we reflect upon the delicacy of t ex t u re, the minuteness of arrangement, the miraculous sens ibility of the organs of the bein g s which these laws are designed to protect and perfect—when we ponder on these things, should we feel surprise at the sickness and so rrow that pervades mankind, or ought we not rather to marvel—to marvel with awe and gratitude—at the immeasurable power and love of Nature, who is ever working to uproot the misery springing fro m man's igno rance.—Sepley's Lectures Oil, Bodily Exerc i se.
