M ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLooK. The business to-day was not of a very Ective de scription, but yesterday's prices were maintained. The principal business in the English market is the preparation of the monthly settlement. American 5-20's have given way, but Continental securities remain firm. Money is still held for 21 to 8 per cent. Consols are 93 24 for money ; ditto, for Ac cottnt, 921 ; Three per Cent.

In the railway market 11Iidland, Brighton, Metropolitan, and London, Chatham, and Dover stocks have improved 1. to s per cent. ; but London and North Western has declined 1. Some of the present prices are as follows :—London and North Western, 114} to 1 ; Great Western, 481 tot; Midland, 1151 1 ; South Western, 88 to 9 p; Great Eastern, 374 to 38; Brighton, 501 to 1 ; South Eastern, 771 ; Metropoliian, 1051 to 4. In the Foreign Market Italian of 1861 and Turk. isk of 1865 have improved } per cent., while Egyp tian of 1868 have declined to the same extent. Subjoined are the prices :—Chilian of 1867, 941 to 95 1 ; Egyptian of 1861, 89 to 90 ; do. of 1868, 76 4 to 77 ; Italian of 1861, 564 to 57 ; Tobacco 4 to 5 prem. American Five-Twenty Bonds have receded to 811 to 1. Erie Railway share are quoted 25 to 4, showing a rise of -1 per cent. In miscellaneous shares National Discounts are 111 to 4 ; General Credit, 11 to 11 dis. Bank shares are steady. City, 114 to 121, and London and Westminster, 641 to 651. A further sum of £82,000 in bar gold has been withdrawn from the Bank for importation. The Thyatira has arrived from Melbourne with £ 4 2,000 in gold , and the steamer Shannon from the West Indies with £249,766 in specie. The Neva left for the West Indies yesterday, and took in specie £7,600, all silver. the committee of the six associated Australian banks have invited tenders for a railway loan for the colony of Victoria for £2,107,000 in 5 per cent. debentures with interest from the Ist of January. The loan will be issued in debentures of £lOO, £ 5 OO, and £l,OOO each, bearing interest at 5 per cent. to commence from Jan. 1, 1869, and the coupons of the said loan are payable on Jan. 1 and July 1 in each year, at the London and Westmin ter Bank and the London Joint Stock Bank, where also the principal will be payable on the Ist day of January, 1894. The line of railway for which the funds are to be applied is from Melbourne to Bel "foir, on the Upper Murray river. The tenders are to be opened at the London and Westminster Bank on Tuesday, the 9th inst. The statements recently circulated regarding the Turki s h Loan to be introduced by the Societe Ge nerale at Paris and elsewhere are understood to be Premature. None of the conditions have yet been definitively arranged, and an immediate issue is not expected. It is understood that Daoud Pasha is still in Paris .vith the h o p e o f nego ti at i ng t h e l arge ra il way l oans thlately authorised by th e Ott oman Go vern ment, and _that there is also some idea of appealing to the London market. Such a step, however, would be entirely useless 83 long as the grievous causes of c omplaint on the part of the guaranteed Turkish railways already constructed with English capital remain unredressed. The conversion and consolidation of the Aus trian debt is at least announced in London. The An glo-Austrian Bank have given notice that they are authorized by the Austrian Ministry of Finance to receive securities of the various public debts of the Empire, for conversion into bonds of the New Consolidated State Debt, pursuant to the law of 2 0th June, 1868. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this Week a decrease of £6 compared with the corres ponding week of last year. Count de Germiny, a leading director of the Bank of France, has joined the Paris Committee of the Imperial Ottoman Bauk, in succession to M. Buffarini. An extraordinary general meeting of proprietors of the lonian Bank is called for the 23d inst., " to bear an explanation from the directors of the recent arrangement between the Bank and the Greek Go vernment, and for other business." The half-yearly meeting of the Sombre and Meuse Railway Company is called for the 10th inst., in London, preparatory to the meeting convened for the 27th at Brussels. The receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada, for the week ending the 26th Feb., were 1.1,104, being £495 more than in the correspond ing week of last year. An extraordinary general meeting of the Maud tms Land C re di t and Agency C ompany (Limited) will be held on the 17th inst. BRITISH FUNDS-TWO O'CLOCK. GOVERNMENT FUNDS. e It• Cent.

(Before Mr. Commi.sioner Holroyd.) _ _ _ His Honour, on taking his seat, said—ln the case of Mr. Edwards, it becomes my g ainful duty to announce the dismissal of Mr. Edwards from the office of official assignee by order of the Lord Chancellor, which I received yesterday. The reasons for such dismissal are fully set f)rth in the order which the registry of the court wil now record. Mr. Registrar S. Price then read the order of the Lord Chancellor. lle recited the Bth section of the Bank ruptcy Act of 1861, whereby official assignees are for bidden to hold any other office of employment, or follow any business, on pain of dismissal—also the 122 d of the rules and orders made in pursuance of the Act of 1840 ; it then recited that Mr. Edwards had, notwith standing such rule, entered into an agreement with the then house of Overend, Gurney, and Co., to act for them in all matters in which they might require his advice and assistance in consideration of a payment of a sum of £5,000 a year for five years from 1863 to '6B; also that the said Edwards had received .£20,000 from the said firm, partly in pursuance of the said agreement, and partly, as he alleged, in consequence of the agreement not being carried into effect. After reciting the present Lord Chan cell r's letter to Mr. Commissioner Rolroyd, of the 29th of January last, directing an inquiry to be made, and Mr. Edwards's statement in answer thereto, the order proceeded—" Now, therefore, I do hereby, and from th date of this order, dismiss the said Edward Watkins Edwards from the office of official assignee, in considera tion of his deliberate violation of the 122 d rule above re ferred to. HATHERLEY, Feb. 27, 1869." His Honour said the order of dismissal would be forth with sent by the Regisrtar to Mr. Edwards. SHIPPING INTELLIGI NCE.-7his Day. GRAVESEND, Tuesday Morning.

Betham-Edwards, " Author of " Dr. Jacob," Ste. 3 Vols.—lt is loud since we have read such a thoroughly fascinating story as this. it possesses the charm of deep and well-sustained' interest of origi nality, and of really good writing. We have seldom met with much better delineations of caracter. Each indi vidual is a perfect study, and causes us to wonder at and admire the author's knowledge of human nature and her cleverness at so vividly imparting it. The conversa tional parts, too, are admirable, piquant, but thoroughly natural. We heartily recommend our readers to make Kitty's acquaintance, and assure them a great pleasure in the perusal of her strange history."—Observer. THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS.— Ajnost interesting and instructive little work, describing briefl y but with great cle arness, the rise and progress of watch and clock makin , has just b een p u blished by Mr J. W. Benso n, of 25, Old Bond-street, 99, Westbourne-g,rove, and the City Steam Factory, 58 and 60, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly valuable work. By ita aid persons residing in any part of the United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent to them with perfect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint ment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any address on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly recommend it to the notice of the intending purchaser. _ - - LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.-MRS.

Buckingham, of Lancaster, New Hampshire, has purchased the entire township of Dix yille, partly for the sake of its abundant timber, and partly for the purpose of erecting a hotel to accommodate those who wish to visit the superb natural soonery of that region.— A Nashua teamster named Allen, who invested a fuw dollars some years ago in California land, is having it returned to him multiplied into thousands by the advanced value of real estate. We take the following curious extract from " Trench's History of Ireland" to show how property can rise in value :—" Farming in Ireland, Co. Monaghan.-1576.

California's population is only one-fourth female. In Nevada there aro eight men to one woman ; and in Colorado twenty to one. Strangers coming . to America from Europe are said to be struck with the size and stateliness of the American car riage horses, which in these particulars excel those of London and Paris. But the saddle horses are generally nferior to those of Europa. The value of tho telegraph has just beeu illus trated in San Francisco, viler() a "sneak thief" China man escaped on board the Pacific mail steamer to Emig kong.

The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise, and attended by the Dowager Duchess of Athole, drove out yesterday afternoon. Prince Leopold walked in the Home Park. THE QUEEN'S ENGLISH. LindleyMurray—outragei in his grave by Mr. Edward Freeman— Las been summoned back into the world of letters to utter the following emphatic pretest throng.% the pages of the thenxuni : REVIEWS AND REVIEWERS. Upper Court s Feb. 20 I am glad that for once you Lave given to the world a real letter from a censor of books, printel -" word for word and point for point." Tnat letter frou Mr. Edward A. Freeman is a "caution,;' and one may be sure that the Calibans of literature v in feure add to all commui:ca,tions sent to the public journals the good old postscript, " Please lick this m aut. into shape." I say nothing of Mr. Surtees'b subject and Mr. Freeman's temper. These things are beyond me. I am not learned in the affairs of Earl Godwin and his sons, and do not see why gentlemen should throw dirt upon each other because they differ in opinion about them. lam only a grammarian, as you may know ; and while I leave other things alone, I trust you will forgive my anxiety for the well-being of our English .speech. Look at Mr. Freeman's text. The first sentence in his letter gives the lie direct to a clergyman and a gentleman ; though it does not openly and man fully deny the main charge. The second sen tence is a jumble which "no fellow can be ex pected to understand." I read, "it is generally thought a gross breach of etiquette to attribute... and in doing so" Ali-. Surtees " has attacked the wrong man." Doing so ? Doing what? The an tecedent is "to attribute." The passage may be taken to mean that the ascription of unsigned arti cles in a paper to the writer is a breach of etiquette. That is an open question. The etiquette is not much observed ; indeed the signature of an article is only one of the signs by which a writer is known. Style is a sign ; and I have hear.' that in the periodical press almost every article of note can be traced by acute persons to its actual source. " Mr. Surtees has been guilty " of knowing what all the world knows ; and, "as so often happens in so doing, he has attacked the wrong man." I am pleased to have that text as it was written. It is a fine example of bad English. In the first place, what is meant by " so doing" in this connexion? The use of the participle here is wrong. To say " Mr. Surtees has been guilty of this breach of etiquette, and, as often happens in such cases, he has attacked the wrong man," would be to write good English but to display bad manners ; while to say that " Mr. Surtees has been guilty of this breach of etiquette, and, as so often happens in so doing, he has attacked the wrong man," is to write that which is bath unmannerly and ungrammatical. In the second place, thii jumble of word; suggests a charge which Mr. Freeman can hardly mean to make. " Mr. Surtees has been guilty,...and, as often happens in so doing, he has attacked the wrong man." The writer can hardly mean to say that Mr. Surtees is in the habit of ascribing articles to the wrong man ; but in fact this is what he says. Now cones the main point. "No periodical exists in which I have reviewed Mr: Surtees and Dean Stanley and Pear son." Surely this is a paltry kind of evasion. The point is not whether Mr. Freeman has written dis paraging articles ag.iinst Mr. Surtees, Dean Stan ley, and Mr. Pearson in one periodical, but whe ther he has written them. The escape by accumu lation is no escape. Mr. Freeman appears to nurse some spite against Mr. Pearson's name. He speaks of Mr. " Pear son's Early and Agu.' " He puts Mr. Pearson into the plural number, as though he were the Siamese twinF, and. he denies him the kindly use cf the possessive ease. This latter :dip may be due to ignorance of grammar, not infirmity of wind. In fact, lam sure it is so, from evidence supplied by the following sentences., " That arti ele,' says Mr. Freeman," appeared iu the Fortnightly Reciew, and as, like all other articles in that 11,.!- view, it hal my name attached to it"--.Do all the articles in the Fortnightly Review bear Mr. Free man's name ? The articles which I have read with pleasure in that perioiical Lore the names of Thomas Huxley, John Morley, and John Tyndall. " My withers were quite unstrung !" cries Mr. Free man. What does he fancy his withers are ? D 333 ho think that his fiddle-stringi are his withers? Shakespeare, I believe, wrote "our withers are unwrung," which is both good English and good sense. Thera are higher beauties yet . in !this brief text The word it is the weakest word in our English speech, and the frequent presencJ of this word in any writing is the sign of a feeble style. Read this gas:Age : " it had my name attached to it, it is neither necessary nor possible to make any mystery about it." What is meant by " Mr. Pearson wrote a pamphlet, which Mr. Surtees also quotes?" Is it meant that Mr. Surtees wrote the pamphlet ? If not, why say so ? Again, Mr. Freeman says, "I never cursed Mr. Pearson, or reviewed Lim, or said anything about Mr. Pearson." Even this example is riot the best. "As neither Mr. Pearson nor Mr. Surtees quotes the words of this weekly Caliban, I cannot identify him, save negatively, by saying it is not 1." Him is not it—it is not I. Here is a grace beyond the reach of art. LINDLEY MURRAY. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.) OLD COURT. Jessie M'Donald was indicted for stealing money and other property belonging to her master, William Henry Bridger. The prisoner was ono of the female servants at the Green Dragon Hotel, Bisbopsgate-street, and for considerable time many of the gentlemen stopping there had complained to the proprietor of loosing money and other property from their rooms. A watch was set upon the servants, and ono of the resi dents in the hotel, Mr. Pritchard, an inspector of the London and Provincial Bank, placed some marked money in his coat pocket prior to putting it in - its usual place. On going to the coat the next morning the money was gone, and a detective was then called in and a search made, when the marked coins were found in the prisoner's box. The jury found her guilty. The police officer said that on making further oxamina• tion he found a gold chain which had been lost 13=0 time ago by another visitor to the hotel, and a variety of mis cellaneous property, all of which had been stolen from gentlemen in the habit of staying at the hotel. The Recorder sentenced her to 12 months' imprison ment with hard labour. 1 William Robert Stevenson, a youth about 17 years of age, pleaded guilty to three indictments of forgery, and also to have been previously convicted of felony. Mr. Lewis said the prisoner had, on the previous con viction in May last, been sentenced to t .ree years in a reformatory, but that punishment was never carried out. The Recorder—How is that ? Send for tho Governor. Mr. Jonas said all he knew of the matter was that the boy was sent from the Old Bailey to the House of Cor rection to undergo a sentence of a .months' imprisonment and three year's in a reformatory. The Recorder—Well, why was that sentence not car ried out? 3fr Jonas —I don't know, as a matter of fact, but I be believe the chaplain, after the boy had been in jail the mouth, reported so highly favourable of the prisoner that the other part of the sentence was not attended to. The Recorder—By whose order? Have some inquiry on the subject, as it appears to be quite useless to sentence prisoners for punishment which is not carried out. Mr. Jonas—l don't know, my lord, how it was tho.sen tence in the first case was not carried out. I was sur prised to see him again so soon in Newgato. The Recorder said it was a very bad case, and he had no alternative but to sentence the prisoner to seven years penal servitude. - - INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CORRUPT PitACTICES AT ELECTIONS. Mr. BRUCE, iu reply to Mr. V. Harcourt, said he could not produce the various judgments given daring the trial o f e:eetiou petitions as they were rot under his control. With respect to what caurso the Government intended to take, that was indicated in the Lut:ca ho had already given on the subject. PAYMENT OF RATES. In reply to Mr. LIDDELL, Mr. GOSCIIEN said there was no legal indemnity tha could be given to the owners of house property who un dertook the payment of rates for occupiers. TIIE PUBLIC PARKS. In reply to Sir H. 110.11 t; Mr. LAYARD said steps were being taken t) restore the grass in the open parts of th 3 public parks, but with respect to the supervision of the persons frequenting those places that was under the superintendence of the police. It was even possible for the police to detect criminals merely by their dress. (Laughter.) THE IRISH CHURCH. On the order of the day being real, Mr. GLADSTONE rose amidst loud cheers to move that the acts relating to the Mali Church be read. • The Chief Clerk of the House (Sir D. Le Marchant) having done so, Mr. GLADSTONE then moved that the house resolve itself into committee to consider thosa acts. The motion having been agreed to, and the house having gone into committee, Mr. GLADSTONE said that fee motion ho should con clude with would be that the chairman be directed to move the house that leave be given to bring in a bill to put an end to the establishment of the Church in Ireland and to make provision therefor,and in respect to the royal college of Maynooth. He then said that the subject which he proposed to submit to the house was one of the greatest difficulty and importance, but he thought if the house gave him their patience he should be able to show that the time for the disestablishment of the Irish Church had arrived (hear, hear) -the more especially so as the church popu lation in that country was in many parts merely official, co siding of that of the clergymen, the clerk, and sexton. He could not but think that many agreed with him that they coull riot look back to the position of matters in that country without shame-(hear, hear)—but for the resto ration of peace and prosperity it was now above all neces sary to take away that token and symbol of ascendancy which, as long as it was allowed to remain, would neu tralize all efforts for the improvement of the country. In proceeding with the question at that moment they were taking up the unfinished work of last year, and dealing with a question which had been clearly put and definitively announced by the last election. To that answer he would add the resignation of the late Ministry, but on that subject he i did not desire to pass ono word of censure beyond saying I that it bore emphatic testimony to the character of the Ijudgment of the people. He knew he should be met with obj,:etioas that the proposal ho was about to submit to Par liament was adverse to the principles of Protestantism, but !that was open to debate; and it would also be contended that the proposition was against the Act of Union, but be contended that the proposal he should have I the honcur to submit was, on the contrary, confirming its general principle. (Hear, hear.) In carrying out the dis establishment of the Irish Church, it was above all neces sary that the matter should be dealt with in a prompt and rapid manner, for it was not the proper course to pur sue subject that establishment to a sloW and lingering death. It was above all necessary tint their legisla- I tion should be perfect and final, and that the great disturbing question should pass for ever out of sight, out of mind, and thus a new era ho hoped would dewu on Ire ! land. It was not sought to inflict any penalty or pain upon any ono by the Act they hoped would become law. (Hear, hear.) Ono of the first matters that would occur after the passing of the bill would be the winding up ; o: the present Ecclesiastical Commission in that country and the foenatien of a zew One to exist for 11) years, to which all questions would be submitte I, and the opi nion of Parliament would be taken on all in ,t -t.rs. With respect to the appointments it was pro pos scl such might be male for a limited period without giving the person so appointed the freehold. With respect to episcopal appointments it was thought advisable to separate the Crown and all other appoint ments made during the tern he had mentioned, but that no vested interests should be created. Those proposals he believed would be all that would 1 1 be necessary to be done iu the intermediate period and would take the place of the Suspensory Bill of last year. The Comtnisien would be precluded from laying out money for the erection of new churches ; but in the expenditure of the funds committed to their charge they would be strictly confined to making the necessary repairs. During the iutervening period before thef ull operation of the bill it proposed that the people should do that which the people of other countries have done, viz., constitute for themselves some sort of governing body; and, when such a body had been formed, power would be taken for its legal rec ognition. (Hear. hear.) It was proposed that all these provisions should come into operation on the day mentioned iu the bill, the Ist of January, 1871, and on that day the union between the English and Irish Church would be dissolved, and from that day the Church of Ireland should cease to be established by law, and be entirely and wholly disestablished. (Hear, hear.) ar e should have to detain the house some time whilst ho proceeded to slate how it was proposed to deal with the vested interests of the Irish Church, because they embraced various matters from the hightheestmoabtjteecrtss down to the life interest in g rave yards. (Laughter.) I call results for for of the the Th e re was also the necessity for winding up w ith respect to the college of Maynooth, and financial also sale of the church lards, and these would u t mo st care being exercised. Th these operations, Mr. Gladstone stated, thus .—The tithe rent charge would yield £9,000,000 ; Lagds and Per petuity Rents, £6,250,000 ; Money, £7so,ooo.—total, £16,000 000 ; the present value of the property of the Irish Church. Of this bill would dispose of £8,650,000 — viz. :—Vested interests of incumbents, £4,900,000; cu rates, £800,000; lay compensation, £900,000; private endowments, £500,000; building charges, £250,000; commutation of Maynooth Grant and the Regium Donum £1,100,000, and expenses of the Commission £200,000. Consequently there would remain a surplus of between £7,000,000 or £8,000,000; and Mr. Gladstone roused the flagging attention of the House by the intetest ing question—What shall we do with it ? After keeping the House some time in suspense, ho announced that the Government Lad concluded to apply the surplus to the relief of " unavoidable calamities and suffering" not provided for by the Poor Law. Proceeding to details he allocated £150,000 for lunatic asylums, $20,000 a year to idiot asylums, £30,000 to training schools for the deaf, dumb, and blind, £15,000 a year for the training of nurses, £lO,OOO for reformatories, and £51,000 to county infirmaries—in all £311,0G0 a year. Mr. Gladstone concluded his speech, which occupied upwards of three hours, in a peroration, which was cheered loudly and long. Mr. DISRAELI followed immediately, and declared, with much emphasis, that the opinion of the Opposition remained unchanged, that Disestablishment was a political error, and Disendowment7.—especially when accompanied by Secularisation—mere and sheer confiscation. He ad vised his friends not to oppose the motion, but he pressed for a delay of three weeks before the second reading. Mr. GLADSTONE declined to postpone it so long, and ultimately the second reading was fixed for Thursday fort night, with which arrangement Mr. Disraeli expressed himself satisfied. Leave was then given to introduce the bill, and it was road a first time. .ree o'clock. —The market BounsEplarch I.—Th closed as follows B : 4i per Cent.
