MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The business on the Stock Exchange to-day was rather dull. Th3re was a fall of ss. in the shares of the French Cable Company, owing to an inti mation that the weekly receipts will not be made Public.

EngHAI Railway Shares opened with a drooping tendency, and in Several instances prices have since declined. A fall of is marked in Caledonian, at 791 to 78j, London and Brighton at 44 to 441, London, Chatham, and Dover at 151 to IG, Lou. don and North-Western at 120 to 1201, South- Eastern at 764 to 774.

In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds are flat, and lower upon the conflicting views taken of the prospects of the monarchy. At the opening the price was 271, and it is now 27 sellers. On the other hand, Turkish are firm, the Five per Cents. opening at 431, and being now at 43/ to 43g. Italian are 53 to 531, being dull. Argentine are quoted 81;;to 841 ; Egyptian (1864), Bonds 861 to 8 7i; ditto (1868), 77 to 774 ; Mexican, 134 to 1% ; Peruvian, 83 to 832. Scarcely any business is doing in Bank Shares and prices generally are stationary, the only change being a decline of 108 in Oriental, the price being 41 to 42. Loudon Joint Stock is steady at 32 to 3 3 ; Union of London, 371 to 381 ; London and Westminster, 581 to 591 ; London and County, 48 to 49 ; Imperial, 16 to 17 ; Imperial Ottoman 21 to 21 prem. ; Consolidated, 44 to 41 ; Char tered Mercantile, 311 to 321 ; Anglo-Austrian, 9 to 11 prem. ; Alliance, 121 to 131 ; and Agra (A), 101 to 11. In American Securities United States Five- Twenty Bonds have been firm all the morning, and are now dealt in at 83i. to 8311 ex div. ; Erie Shares are 4 higher, at 2O to 21 ; but Illinois are heavy at 99f Ito 991, being a decline of 1. In Continental Railway Shares Lombardo-Vene tian are firm at yesterday's improvement, at 20 to 204. Great Luxemburg is quiet, at 12-.} to 121. Business in Foreign Mining Shares is merely no minal, and prices are without change. The transactions in Colonial Government Secu rities are very limited, and prices are without any material change. Canada Five per Cents. are quoted at 951 to 96 ; New South Wales Five per Cents., 101 i to 104 ; New Zealand Five jper Cents., 911 to 92 ; Queensland Six per Cents., 1091 to 110 i ; and Victoria Six per Cents., 114 to 115. Seven thousand sovereigns, received from Egypt, were sent into the bullion office of the Bank yester day. The City of Pekin, from Melbourne, has arrived with £31,500. The Bourgogne is announced at Gibraltar, from Brazil, en route for this country, With £21,600. The Pera is due at Southampton on the 4th proximo, with £539,033 in Australian gold and sovereigns. Advices from St. Petersburg report great strin gency in the money market, owing chiefly to the large advances which have been made to the banks in Odessa and Taganrog, with the view of assisting growers who cannot afford to sell their grain at the present low prices. Odessa alone has, it is stated, absorbed about fifty million roubles (nearly £7,000,000) for this purpose. The suspension is announced of Messrs. Sharp and Gardner, of Bradford. A meeting of the creditors was held immediately after the failure, and it was agreed to accept a composition of 10s. in the pound. Intelligence has been received of the wreck off Dungeness of the Spendthrift, bound for China with a cargo valued at about £150,000. She was partly insured at Lloyds, and partly in offices at Liverpool. At an extraordinary general meeting of the Bom bay, Baroda, and Central India Railway Company yesterday, resolutions were passed accepting the proposal of the Secretary of State for India for the construction of the railway from Ahmedabad to Veerumgautn and Wudwan, particulars of which have already been given,:and authorising the direc tors to raise the necessary capital. The directors of the Madras Railway Company have issued their half-yearly report in anticipation of the meeting of shareholders. The traffic results for the six mouths, though not exhibiting the same rate of increase as usual, are stated to be on the whole as favourable as could be expected, consider ing the stagnation of trade, and the prevalence of epidemic disease during great part of the time. The gross receipts of the South-West line show a falling off of £2,217, and there is also a consider able increase in the working charges. The revenue statement of the North-West line shows an expen diture of £4,993 4s. 5d., which is not taken into ac count in calculating the rate of working expenses or the net receipts. A letter has been received from the Secretary of the Divisional Bondholders' Committee of the At lantic and Great Western Railway in relation to the paragraph concerning their circular. It does not impugn anything that was said, but merely seeks to reiterate the repugnance of one section of the creditors to the other sections, and to stimulate, Probably with every good intention, an internecine war, which cannot fail to prove a great advantage to the operators in New York who are waiting to make the undertaking their prey. Messrs. Alexander Howden and Co. have given notice that the London, Belgium, Brazil, and River Plate Royal Mail Steam Company will despatch an extra steamer from London on the 11th of Decem ber, calling at Antwerp and Falmouth, in addition to the regular mail steamer as usual, and that, should sufficient inducement offer, a bi-monthly line will be established. The following relates to the new Turkish loan : " November 19th, 1869. Sir, —Before the pro spectus of the new Turkish loan is issued I would suggest-1. That there should be some as surance of the settlement of the Turco-Egyptian dispute. 2. That the stock shall be free from Turkish taxes of every kind. 3. That the Turkish Government shall pledge itself not to bring another loan upon any European market for a definite term of years. 4. That the new stock shall be offered in the first instance to the holders of stock in the existing Turkish loans of 1854, 1858, 1862, 1863-4, and 1865, the outstanding aggregate amounts of which are about 26 millions sterling. A similar curse to this was adopted in 1862 with the secon 1 issue of Egyptian Seven per Cents. with a result favourable to all parties.—Yours obediently, F." • The report of the directors of the Eastern Bengal Company states that the gross receipts of the half year ending the 30th of June last amounted to £95,486, the working expenses to £55,580., and the net receipts to £39,906 ; against £93,185 for gross receipts, £48,136 working expenses, and £45,019 net receipts in the corresponding half of 1808, showing an increase of £2,301 in the gross receipts, of £7,411 in working expenses, and a decrease of £5,143 in the net receipts. The total number of pas sengers carried in the past half-year was 655,888, agai ns t 647,579, showing an increase of 8,309 passengers. The goods carried by the railway amounted to 90,811 tons, against 70,712 tons in the corresponding halt of 1868, who receipts per 9,15 0 rJ3D SI ;roop sae" L that ja y to prep°.

The receipts,'• although on the whole satisfactory, might fairly have been expected better, had not unfavourable circumstances occurred. During the half-year end ing the 30th of June last that portion of Lower Bengal over which this company's operations extended was visited by numerous heavy storms and by two cyclones, the latter of which fully equalled in violence that which occurred in 1867. Those cyclones were considered by the agency to have had a disastrous effect on the boat traffic, for at Dacca alone it was reported that up wards of 800 boats had been destroyed, and at other places the destruction must have been equally great ; goods, therefore, which, under ordinary cir cutnstances, would have reached the railway at Kooshtea in boats, must have been detained for want of carriages. The working expenses of the rail way, exclusive of thesteamers, amounted 101.41,530, or 50.05 per cent. of the gross receipts, against £36,663, or 16.91 per cent, in the same half of 1868. The net profits of the half-year, declared according to the rule laid down by Government, amounted to £38,393 ; they included £896, being oatstandings brought from the previous half-year, and excluded £2,109, b:ing outstandings carried forward to the next account. The gross receipts of the railway and also of the steamer traffic of the first 15 weeks of the current year showed an increase over those of the corresponding period of 1868. The regular fortnightly service between Kooshtea and Assam had been worked during the half-year by the India General Steam Navigation Company's steamers with regularity. The total expenditure on capital amounted to £2,646,701. The total expenses of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company's railways and canals, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from the Ist of July to the 14th of November, 1869, amounted to £203,274, as against £197,482 for the correspond ing period of 1868. The proportion of the South Junction receipts accruing to this company from the Ist of July to the 14th November amounted to £15,842, as against £14,594 for the corresponding period of 1868, and the expenses to £7,891, as against £7,350.

A correspondent at Portsmouth says :—" The executors of the late Mr. Peabody, accompanied by Mr. Peabody Russell, of Boston, just arrived from America, have visited the Monarch for the purpose of inspecting the arrange ments made for the reception of the body, which is to be removed from Westminster Abbey on Friday next. Up to last week it had been understood that Sir Curtis Lamp son, Bart., and Mr. Charles Reed, M.P., would accompany the remains to Danvers, but the arrival of Mr. Russell, who comes out as the eldest male representative of the family, to take charge of the body, renders this mark of honour no longer necessary. The coffin will be deposited in the state saloon, which is draped in black, and cabins • are fitted for Mr. Russell and for Mr. Peabody's personal servant, who was with him when he died. The Mayor had desired to arrange a public procession through the town, but it is understood that the ea ecutors wish this to be avoided if possiple. The Monarch is our finest turret ship. She will sail out to Spithead, and there be joined by the Richmond and two others of the American squadron; and with this convoy the remains of the great philanthropist will be carried to Portland arriving it is expected about the Bth of December. The Teleuraph declares that Mr. Childers has always in tended that the Monarch, which is to carry the body of Mr. Peabody to America, should not leave Portsmouth wutil the arrival of the - United States' corvette Plymouth, the vessel which Rear-Admiral Raceford has detached to accompany the Monarch. It is believed that the American vessel cannot reach Portsmouth until the first week in December. SHARE LIS?. SToch.b. Paid.

The Times has a long article on the subject, more than two columns. Pointing out that the movement is only " taking a leaf out of the Dissenters' book," and remarking that the sermons preached are much the same as those given by the eminent preachers among the Nonconformists, the leading journal tells how the services arose out of a wish on the part of the clergy to touch the hearts of, and win over to the ser vice of religion, the masses who are now indifferent. "When wo remember that each of the clergymen has been, and still is, engaged in preaching at least once a day on a spiritual subject, at greater or less length, and with the most impassioned language and gesture, for 12 consecutive days, while some have preached three times daily, there can be no reason for thinking that the clergy have not shewn themselves active and energetic, or that they are other than heartily and sincerely in earnest in their work." Tho arrangements for the twelve days' course vary very much in different parishes, but they have one general feature —namely, extra services and " celebra tions" in the early part of the day, in some cases as early as six in the morning, for the purpose of intercession on behalf of sinners and for invoking God's special blessing upon each day's work, while the " Mission Sermons," " Conferences," "Instructions," "Bible Classes," and "Crusades" are arranged as parts of the evening programme. St. Alban's Church, Holborn, is taken as a type. " It is not a small church, but at the Mission Services in the evening it is always full—often full to overflowing; and even at some of the morning services there are as many as a hun dred persons, including a large sprinkling of men in their working clothes and women with babies in their arms. Indeed, so crowded have been the congregations that it has been found necessary to have at the same time a ser vice of a more popular and elementary character in a schoolroom in an adjoining court, where Sisters of Mercy and other charitable ladies come night after night, leading by the hand the friendless outcasts and the "roughs" of the surrounding courts, which, as the usual Parliamen tary phrase goes, they have diligently "whipped up" for the purpose. In this low, stifling school-room is set up a picture of the Crucifixion, and its walls are adorned with other religious emblems. The clergyman here talks to the persons present about God, about Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell, about Sin and Repentance, and such subjects, with the outspoken boldness of a Paul, an Ignatius, or a Spurgeon, not mincing matters or using honeyed words. They are told that before they can love God they must hate and leave off sin, and confess it too ; that they must give up drunkenness and thieving and the sins of the flesh ; that if they don't repent of such things they will go to hell. This plain speech is interspersed with friendly and chatty remarks, and such as a rigid High Churchman of the old school would think almost profane; but it brings tears into the eyes of men as well as women; it melts stubborn hearts, and touches those who could have been touched by nothing less plait and homely. Then the clergyman or a Sister of Mercy speaks to them individually and tel them of mercy and forgiveness of the worst of sinners through the Saviour who hung upot the cross. Then both clergy and people sing a popular hymn, "Jesus, lover of my soul," or " Rock of ages cleft for me," or " 0 bountiful salvation," and while the rest of tho congregation depart, a few stay behind to receive words of counsel and advice from the attendant clergy. At the end of each separate service one of the clergy remains in the schoolroom, the church, or the sacristy, to give spiritual advice to each separate penitent, and, if necessary, to hear his confession. There is no disguise upon the subject, and, be it right or wrong, be it in harmony with the theory of the English Church or not, there can be no doubt in the minds of those who have attended these Mission services that confession is no longer a moot point or a matter of discussion. but part and parcel of the religious "revival," and differing only in a very slight degree from the practice of the Roman Catholic Chinch. It must not, however, the Times adds, by any means be supposed that what we have said is applicable to the Church of Si,. Alban's, Holborn, alone. We have merely chosen thi: church as the type of many others, and also because it has gathered within its walls during the last few days more of the lower orders than most of the East, on ',account of its position in the midst of dense, crowded, and 'filthy courts, and, therefore, those who minister within it have had to contend with the greatest difficulties." The Times describes the services at several other churches, and closes :—" It is obvious to remark that it is too early to speak with confidence as to the actual success which has been achieved by this mission ; but we may state that such of the clergy as we have been able to consult are well satisfied with the work thus far. On Sunday about 1,000 persons visited the monu ment erected in Glasnovin Cemetery, Dublin, to Allan, Lark:n, and 0 Brien, the three men executed at Manchester for being concerned in the release of Colonel Kelley and Captain Deasey, the Fenian leaders. Mrs. Tidwell, the benefactress of Kean, taught him to act, tying him to the bedpost while a mere infant, and making him repeat after her the speeches of Hamlet till the words were fixed in his memory! Her training all seems to have tended to naturalness of speech and action. Before repeating the passage, " Alas, poor Yorick!" she bade the little fellow remember her uncle who had lost a leg, and repeat " Alas, poor uncle !" till he had wrought himself up to the proper pitch of sympathetic pity. SLAUGHTER OF GAME.—Lord Dalhousie held battues on his estate at Panmure on two days last week. The party consisted of Lord Dalhousie, the Duke of Atholc, Sir T. Moncreiffe, Major and Captain Young, Major Ramsay, Colonel Guthrie, the Hon. C. Carnegie, M.P., Mr. L. Carnegie, Mr. I'. Chalmers, Captain Carnegie, and Captain Pearoth. The Dundee Advertiser says :—" The grounds shot over the first day were Carlogie and Pittevie - covers and East Deer Park. There were 945 head of game killed—there being 224 pheasants. On the second day there were 522 pheasants killed, and a total of 1,202 head." Yv .... CONSERVATISM AMONG THE FREE KIRKERS.— The Free Church congregations will tolerate no change on the old forms of divine service. At Wick, Mr. Goodlad, the precentor in the first Free Church of that town, hook it on himself to depart from the ancient custom of reading out each line for the con gregation to sing after him. He found that he was obliged solemnly to give utterance to such detached thoughts as "Be silent, but speak out ;" or. " I like an owl in desert am ;" sentiments which are illus trated by the context, and perhaps shed light on it in turn. He, therefore, had the audacity to read verse by verso, in order to make an approximation to the textual sense. He has, however, been doomed by a decree of the Minister and his session to road the verses in future, line by line, regardless of any paradoxes, or facts of zoology. DISCOVERY OF A ROMAN ALTAR 1700 YEARS OLD IN )VEARDAI.E.—There has been some excitement amongst lovers of antiquarian lore in Weardale, owing to a Roman altar of great antiquity being found at the village of East gate. For some time this stone has been partly exprred to view on the bank of Rcokhope Burn, a tributary of the Wear, and having been dislodged the other day it turned o ut on examination to be of great antiquity. It bears the following inscription, in addition to which are two fishes with birds' heads and other sculpture work n. .E. . ° SILVAN() AVERLIVS QVIRINVS P.RQ.FQ the purport of which reads : Dedicated to Siivanus (a heathen god) by Aurelius, Emperor of Rome. The stone is of millstone grit. It was found by Robert Herring, on Villktibtk*Pitliairtisikffullgang, $9/111eIrb rß7'—(This Day).. SPORTING I' CENTRAL CRLI ~ r, TE GRENVILLE MURRAY CASE. This morning, Mr. Montagu Williams made an applica tion to allow TAO rocognisauces of the prosecutor, in a charge of perju ty arising out of the Grenville Murray case, to be postponed' till next session. The &feudal it was ono of the bail for Mr. Murray, and the questio u was whether he was in the waiting room of the I 4arlborough-street Police-court ou particular day, al 5 prosecutor being a police-constable named Roskelly. The charge was investigated by Mr. Knox, the n►agistr; ite, and dismissed, but the prosecutor insisted on being bound oTor to prefer a bill at this ses sions. Tho groun di of the application for a postpone ment was the absencas ,of a material witness for the pro secution. _ Mr. Besley strongly opposed the application on behalf of the defendant, ant: said that after the case had been fully investigated nal dismissed by Mr. Knox, it was a vexatious proceeding to prefer a bill against him. The Common Sergetwt declined to interfere.

The jury found the prisoners guilty, and the Commis sioner said there was no doubt the crime had been com mitted at the instigation of George Stephen Smith, and sentenced him to 14 years' penal servitude. The other prisoner he sentenced to five years' penal servitude. POLICE IN7ELLIGENCE.-7has Day. THAMES. ORGAN GRINDING.— Cannicate Giovanni, aged 38 years, who was described in the police-sheet as an "organ grinder," was charged by a gentleman residing in Coborn street, Bow, with grinding an organ opposite his house at half-past 8 o'clock last night, and disturbing his children, who had gone to bed. Mr. Benson said it was bad enough for those who did not like organ music or organ noises to have their ears assailed in the day time with tunes a dozen times repeated, but it was still worse to disturb children after thy had gone to bed. The prisoner was bound to leave the street when requested to do so, and it was not every one who liked organ-grinding. He fined the prisoner 55., which was paid, A SUICIDAL FAMILY.—Angus Campbell, aged 14 years, whose late father of the same name shot himself, about 12 months ago, was brought up on remand before Mr. Ben son, chargod with attempting to destroy himself by swallowing a large quantity of laudanum. Mr. Benson said the prisoner had been a week in the House of Detention, and the Chaplain had written to him saying the lad was penitent, and was sorry for tho rash and wicked act he had committed. The prisoner was a sharp and intelligent lad, and by industry and persever ance would most undoubtedly succeed and obtain a re spectable living. A gentleman in the neighbourhood of Spring-gardens, Charing-cross, had kindly promised to assist the prisoner, and if he would call upon that gentle man it would be of advantage to him. He then discharged the prisoner. NARROW ESCAPE OF A DRUNKEN CAB lAN.—Anthony Cooper, a cab driver, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself and his horse and cab. A policeman found the prisoner lying down in the Whitechapel-roadjelead drunk, and with the near wheel resting on his shoulder. A man was about to start the horse, when a police-constable stopped him, and called out "Leave the horse alone or you will kill the driver," who was picked up and carried to the London Hospital. The surgeons then dressed poor cabby's shoulder, said ho was not much hurt, and dismissed him. The prisoner said ho felt giddy and fell off the box. Mr. Benson—You had been drinking heavily. The prisoner—Only two glasses of hot ruin and water which a fare gave me. Mr. Benson wished people who rode in cabs would not give the drivers liquor. The prisoner's fate had nearly prevented him coming to the police-court at all, and he was afraid he was not a steady or sober man, for he had often changed his employers. He fined the prisoner 58., which his master paid for him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BASE INGRATITUDE.—Margaret Duggin, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing at No. 12, Redden-street, Regent-street, some wearing apparel, &c., of the value of £2, the property of Mrs. Mary Aun Hand, a tailoress. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutrix bad treated the prisoner with great kindness, allowing her to lodge her with her, as she had no home of her own, and the return she made for it was to rob the prosecutrix of a quantity of her wearing apparel, and there is every reason to believe that she also robbed a little girl staying with the prosecutrix of all her clothing and her boots while she was asleep in bed. Last night she was taken into cus tody by Moore, No. 74 11, as she was leaving the Victoria Theatre, the officer having previously seen her in company of two men, one of whom had been convicted. Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner that the police might have an opportunity of recovering some of the pro pel ty. WILFUL DAMAGE.— Joseph usher, a surgical instrument maker, Henry-street, Hampstead-road, was committed for trial for wilfully breaking a pauo of glass of the value of £l2, the property of Mr. Robert Wilson, of the Talbot Tavern, Tottenham-court-road. WESTMINSTER. THE AFFAIRS OF THE GRYPHON CLITH.—This morn ing the Court was occupied a considerable time in investi gating a matter relating to the Gryphon Club. Mr. Hume Williams, barrister, applied for a rescision of an order made by Mr. Arnold against Mr. Marcus Slade, late the Honorary Secretary of the Gryphon Club, St. James-street, for detaining the books of the club, on the ground that it was obtained by misoepresentation, sod was not a question for a police magistrate, but rather for the Court of Chancery, or Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. Pearse, banister, appeared for the Committee of the Club, now constituted as the Gryphon, and contended that the order was good and not obtained as represented. A lengthened and rather stormy discussion ensued, at the conclusion of which Mr. Arnold was of opinion that it was not a case intended to be met by the Police Act, but as it involved conflicting interests which were not made appear to him at the time of his judgment, he considered it rather a case for argument before a higher tribunal, and for that purpose should suspend the ope ration of the order, leaving it to the other side to apply to the Court of Queen's Bench for a ?mandamus to compel him to hear and determine the matter in question.

JUSTICE HATES.-otl inquiry at the Westminster Palace Hotel, this forenoon, we were informed that Mr. Justice Hayes remained in a, state of unconsciousness, and was in a sinking condition. Ho is suffering from an attack of paralysis, and little hopes are entertained of his recovery. Koopmanschap, the coolie contractor, has re turned to San Francisco, and is about to send one hundred Chinamen to work on the Memphis and El Paso Railroad. The directors of that railroad deny that they ever asked. Congress for anything more than the right of way through the national domain. The work of the railroad is to be vigorously pushed towards completion, and there will be no lack of hands, if what Koopmanschap says be true, that there are 3,000 Chinamen in California out of employ ment, and that more are returning to China at present than are coming to America, owing to the approaching national holiday in the Empire.
