MONEY MARKET AND COMAIERCIA.L INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Business on the Stock Exchange Las become again depressed owing to the large failure in the corn trade, and prices at the commencement gave *way a little, but towards one o'clock a favourable turn took place, and the fall of at the opening was recovered. Foreign Securities are in most instances firm, but Railway and Telegraph shares were not an good. Consols are now at 938 to 931 for money ; ditto, for Account, 931 ; Three per Cent.

In the Foreign Market Turkish Five per Cents. are now at 431. The Six per Cant. L-)an of 1865 also better, at 651. Brazilian Bonds have risen to 84 to 841. gyptians are fiat, the 1864 Bonds being 86 to 87j, and ditto 1868, 77 to 77k. Italian Stock is firmer, at 53 to 531, opening at 5 3. Mexican, 13} to 134 ; Peruvian, 83 to 831 ; Charkof, 80 to 801 ; Orel, sot to 81 ; 1, ; Argentine, 84 to 841. In the Railway market business is dull. Metro politan are now 1 1 lower, at 834 to 831 ; Great Western are 55/ to 56. Great Eastern, 364 to 361; Midland, has improved since the opening, being 1181 to 1191 ; Caledonian is 781 to 78/ ex div. ; Great Northern, 106 to 107 ; ditto (A), 107 to 1071 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1251 to 126 ; London and Brighton, 44 to 441 ; London, Chat ham, and Dover, 15/ to 16 ; London and South Western, 90 to 92 ; and South-Eastern 76/ to 77.

At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was poor and the inquiry dull. English wheat was dif ficult to sell at Monday's decline. Foreign still tending downwards. Floating cargoes have been sold cheaper. Flour nominally unchanged. There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. The Manchester markets this week have opened without any symptom of revival. The Bank of Bremen has reduced its rate of dis count from 5 to 4f per cent. The continued depression in prices has at length brought down one of the largest firms in the corn trade. Messrs. James Pim and Co., of Dublin, with branch houses in London and Liverpool, has suspended payment. The amount of their liabilities has not yet been ascertained, but an impression Seems to prevail that it is likely to be about £200,000. As regards the prospect of liquidation, also, nott.ing definite has transpired, although a report is current that about 10s. in the pound may be expected. The Dublin house is an old one, and has long enjoyed a leading position from the extent of its transac actions ; but the London branch was not established until 1862, while that at Liverpool dates only from the year before last. The Cuban correspondence in the last New York journals appears to confirm the recent statement from Madrid, of the insurgents in the eastern division of the island having sustained a severe defeat. The Jornal do Commercio of Lisbon of the 18th inst. published a ]vices of the 31st of October re-. ceived by the Magellan from Rio Janeiro. The latest accounts front the seat of war in Paraguay announce that Count d'Eu had reached St. Esta uislau on the 14th of October with the Brazilian army under his command. Lopez had abandoned Curuquaity for Iguatemy, 30 leagues distant from St. Estaniilau. It was supposed that he was flying to Bolivia, and General Camara was en route for Conceicao, hoping to cut off his retreat in that direction. The failure is announced of Messrs. Henry Travis and Son, flannel manufacturers, of Rochdale, with liabilities amounting to £B,OOO. The London and China Telegraph says :—" The liquidation of the China firms who failed in 1866, &c., has not yet been completed, but up to the pre sent time they have yielded as follows :—Buchanan, Hamilton, and Co., ss; Fletcher and Co., ss. 6d., with 6d. to follow shortly; Scott, Bell, and Co., 7 3. 6d. ; Lindsay and Co., 7s. 3d., and 3d. to fol low, making the 7s. 6d. guaranteed by the friends of the partners." The Metropolitan Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of £1,470 over last year ; the Metropolitan and St. John's-wood an increase of £62 ; the Glasgow and South Western an increase of £542 ; and the Great Luxembourg an increase of £1,371. The half-yearly meeting of the Southwark and Vauxhall Water Company is convened for the 9th December. Vice-Chancellor James has fixed the 3d of December for the appointment of an official liqui dator of the Matlock Old Bath Hydropathic Com pany (Limited). At a meeting of the Hudson's Bay Company the directors' report, which has already been published, Was adopted, with the exception of the paragraph relative to the claims of the factors of the Oregon Compensation Fund. An extraordinary meeting of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company (Limited) will be held on the 30th inst., when a resolution Will be proposed for altering the articles of associa tion in the following sense, viz.:—The directors 'nay from time to time, with the :sanction of an extraordinary meeting, return to and divide rate ably among the shareholders any part or parts of the paid-up capital and assets of the company at Such time or times, and by such instalments, as the board shall think fit. The company may, from time to time, by special resolution, modify the con ditions contained in its memorandum of association Bo as to reduce its capital to such extent and in such manner as the company in general meeting Shall, from time to time by special resolution, determine.

Account, Dec. 1 93/ / THE ALBERT ASSURANCE AND THE FAMILY ENDOWMENT SOCIETY. Vice-Chancellor James delivered judgment to day in the case which came before the Court in the form of a petition by General Pott, who was entitled to an annuity of £5O a year from the Family Endowment Society, which had been amalgamated with the Albert Life Assurance Company. The question at issue was whether the prayer of the petitioner for the winding up of the Family Endowment Society should be granted or not, or whether by the transfer of their busi ness to the Albert, the Family Endowment were not freed from any liability to those who were their creditors previously. The Vice-Chancellor said that there were three grounds urged by the Family Endowment So ciety against the petition. In the first place they said they had ceased to exist as a com pany, and therefore could not be wound up; secondly, that the petitioner had accepted the Albert as his debtors ; and thirdly, that the petitioner had his remedy at common law. In regard to the first ground, the opposition to the petition had failed. In his opinion the Family Endowment had not legally ceased to exist, and they were liable for their debts to creditors such as the petitioner, and that they must be consi dered as carrying on their business at the office of the Albert. As regarded the last point urged against the petitioner, namely, that he should be allowed to seek hi 3 remedy at law, he did not think he was justified in compelling the petitioner to make inquiries as to whom he was to proceed against as his debtor. On all the grounds therefore the petition must go dcbito justitiae, and the costs must come out of the estate of the Friendly Endow ment Society. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. TUESDAY. The elections have passed over quietly, notwithstanding the previous excitement, and the result has occasioned little surprise. M. Rochefort has nttained the object of his ambition, and the Temps satirically felicitates him on gaining admission to a world of which he knows neither the facts, the ideas, nor the language. The brilliant success of M. Cr6mieux, and the defeat of M. Pouyer- Quertior were, according to this journal, only to be ex pected in a circumscription which is the real heart of Paris, and has no affection for an equivocal policy. The Petrie rejoices over the defeat of the non-jurors; but as a matter of fact this affords no test of the, real strength of the popular feeling against the Government. The electors perceived that by voting for the inassermentes they would obtain a very fleeting theoretical triumph, at the expense of a serious practical disadvantage. The Government were not deceived by the failure of the Quixotic crusade against the oath, as was abundantly proved by their totally refraining from any attempt to put forward a candidate. In some quarters of tho First Circumscriptions, I hear, Terme and Carnet did not have a quarter of the votes. It is certain that great enthusiasm was manifested in several directions, more especially on the Boulevard Clichy. Rochefort was present in the salle at the beginning of the day, but after wards withdrew to a neighbouring restaurant, from whence he could still hoar the shouts of " Vivo Rochefort!"—no doubt confirm ng him in the conviction that he is the most remarkable man in France. When he loft the restaurant ho was surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd, who pressed round him, shaking him by the hand. As soon as the election was known the excitement redoubled, end the news was spread with wonderful rapidity. The amount of his majority is very variously stated. At first it was confidentially reported to be 22,000, but the Journal des Debats of to-day brings it down to " une faible majority de moins de 3,000 voix." The Liberti puts it at about 5,000, the Patrie at 4,500, and the Temps at about the same. No two accounts give precisely the same figures. The Journal des Dikes considers the most most notice able feature of tho elections to be the defeat of the extreme party, and rejoices over the failure of M. Ledru Rollin, Barbes, and Brisson in the Fourth Circumscription. The resolution of M. Allou to withdraw in favour of M. Glais - Bizoin is highly applauded by the Ddbats, which confidently anticipates the trium phant success of the latter within fifteen days. Notwithstanding the success of the candidate of the Lanterne, the Ddbats felicitates the electors on the result of the two days' struggle. Tho Siecle is also well satisfied. It declares that the general belief that the Corps Legislatif a s at present constituted will not survive the approaching session rendered the election less animated than it would otherwise have been by diminishing the importance Attached to the elections. The France says that prior to his departure for Rome the Bishop of Orleans put the finishing touches to hi s great work on the Life of Our Saviour. The book will be published in a few days, and forms a most eloquent study of its subject. There is a series of chapters in which are collected the most beautiful le sons of the Gospel. M. Michelet has just brought out a work with the title " Our S: ., ns." The Siecle mentions the report that the Pope had written a letter to Victor Emmanuel congratulating him on his recovery, and wonders if his Holiness forgot that ho had excommunicated the royal invalid. In consequence of the tad weather, the telegraphic com munication between Paris and Italy has been interrupted, andthe two lines between Alarseilles and Genoa have had to bear all the weight of the correspondence. The Rhenish Gazette states that the iron bridge which the railway company at Berg were constructing across the Rhine has fallen, through the shock received from a laden vessel being driven against the scaffoldings. Forty work men were killed in the accident, and twenty more wounded. This misfortune will delay the completion of the bridge ki4kPlcuataiti, - - RAILWAYS.-PREFERENOE SHARES AND STOOKS.

A communication from Hanley says the advance of the puddlcrs' wages has begun, but the puddlers have made no advance to their underhands, who struck throughout Earl Granville's extensive works, at Hanley, on Monday afternoon. The underhands compelled the puddlers to leave the Etruria forges. This was followed by much stone-throwing, and ono man was badly hurt. Superintendent Baker, with a strong body of police, dispersed the mob, and the police guarded the works. The puddlers have gone on the night turn without assistance. If the underhands do not return in the morning, the fur naces will be stopped. THE BISHOP OF _RIPON ON THE RELI GIOUS EDUCATION DIFFICULTY. The Bishop of Ripen, presiding at a meeting of the Bradford Church Institution on Monday night, said he earnestly hoped, whatever might be the course of legisla tion with respect to education, that no attempt would be made—that no attempt should succeed—to divorce religion from education. Ile trusted that the voice of this country would be pronounced clearly and unmis takeably upon this point. Far be it from him to say a harsh or unkind or uncharitable word with respect to those from whom he differed upon this subject; but at the same time he did not hesitate to express his full conviction that no education was worth the pos session which was not under the control and sanction of religious principles. It was more than possible by a system of purely secular education to bring about a vast development of intellectual power and ability ; but where would be the guiding principle without religion to ensure that this intellectual activity should be employed for the glory of God and the good of man ? TERRIBLE SCENE ON BOARD A COOLIE SIHP. A despatch from San Francisco, dated November 9, states that tho Tahiti Cotton Company, about six months ago, sent the barque Margaret Cander, Captain Blackett, to the Gilbert Islands for a cargo of coolies. The captain succeeded in securing about 300, and, during the return voyage, they mutined, and killed the captain and two offi cers, horribly mutilating their bodies. The mate escaped to the hold of the vessel. There he placed a keg of powder under the main hatch, and having arranged the fuse, called the coolies, when the savages crowded round the hatch way. The fuso was then fired, killing nearly all on board. The rest jumped overboard or fell victims to the mate and remaining men. The vessel was brought safely to Tahiti. THE IRISH LAND AND PEOPLE. "Henry Dix Hutton," in a long letter to the Manchester F,xaniiner, disputes the too commonly received premises that the disaffection of the Irish people on the land ques tion is due only to the difference of religion be tween landlord and tenant. "To say that the Reformation made England mainly a Protestant nation, and left the Irish what it found them—an essentially Catholic people would very imperfectly convey the compa rative effects of that revolution on the two coun tries. The predominating social contrast lay, not in the doctrine, or even in the constitutions of the two Churches, but in their relative attitude towards the State." Mr. Hutton points out that on many parts of the Continent ; for instance, the Rhine provinces and even the Polish territory of Prussia, with theirlarge infusions of farmer proprietors, the peopleare perfectly wellaffectedto wards their Protestant rulers. He attributes the disaffection in Ireland mainly to the policy of " repressions and ascen dancy," and legislating for a privileged class to the exclu sion of the masses, that privileged class being also alien in race and religion; thus driving the native population into an attitude of defence and defiance, being bound together by a common faith, a common race, and a common enmity. against the rulers of the soil. The writer attributes tho great hold of Roman Catholicism upon the Irish to the fact of its being a great political power, possessing this power because outside of the State. He notices at some length the immense influence of the clergy upon the population, praises them as being the fes t users of patriotism and public spirit among their flocks, and truly maintains that they reflect the sentiment of the masses. When, therefore, the clergy are found eo predominant at tenant right meetings it shows that they only express the popular will, and they aro, therefore," justly entitled to respect and gratitude as organs of public opinion, more especially on the land question." In support of his argument against legislating for a " privileged class," Mr. Dixon also mentions that even the Protestant tenants-at-will If Ulster are beginning to show signs of discontent, 2HE II UDSON'S BAY COMPA E The annual meeting of the shareholders in this company was held yesterday afternoon at their house in Fenehurch-street ; Sir Curtis M. Lamp oon, Bart., deputy-governor of the company, in the chair. The following report of the directors was sub mitted to the shareholders : " T he Hudson's Bay ships have returned in safety, and delivered their cargoes from York and Moose Factories in good order. The returns show a falling off, as compared with those of last year, in most of the descriptions of furs. We believe that this is, in a great measure, owing to the failure of country provisions, which, to a large extent, preventel the Indians from wintering on their usual hunting grounds. At the same time, owing to the early setting in of winter, the returns from the remote but valuable districts of Athabasca and Mackenzie's River have been left in the country, and will not come forward in time for the ordinary sales in March. A large quantity of the Canada returns was lost off the coast of Newfoundland, by the stranding of the steamship Cleopatra, but these goods were fully covered by insurance. The negotiations for the transfer of the company's territories to the dominion of Canada have been brought to a conclusion. It is understood that, on or before the Ist of December next, the sum of £300,000 will be paid to the credit of the company at the Bank of England. Upon the receipt thereof, a deed will be executed on the part of the company, surrendering to her Majesty the territory held under the charter, reserving a speci fied amount of land round the posts and factories, and the right of selecting by lot one-twentieth of the land that may from time to time be set out for settlement within the Fertile Belt by the Canadian Government. The company will be relieved from all the responsibility of Government. So soon as the money is paid over and the transfer completed, it will be our duty to call a special meeting, and it is our intention to submit for approval a reso lution authorising a return of £3 per share to the proprietors. The proprietors have frequently been informed of the investigation by com missioners of the claims of the company against the Government of the United States under the Oregon Treaty ; and it is satisfactory to state that, by an award of the commissioners dated the 10th September last, 650,000 gold dollars are to be paid to the Hudson's Bay and Puget's Sound Agricultural Companies,s4so,ooo to the former,and $200,000 to the latter. The payment of the amount will be made in two equal annual instalments, the first within 12 months, and the second within '2l months after the date of the award, without in terest and without deduction. There will be a con iderable sum to be deducted for the expenses of counsel, witnesses, &c. ; and a proportion of the amount falling to the Hudson's Bay Company is claimed by the chief factors and chief traders under the deed poll. When these claims aro ad justed a complete account will be laid before the proprietors, and we shall then be prepared to state our views as to the disposal of the money. Look ing to the decrease in the returns of the year, and to the fact that the goods are not yet realised, we do not feel justified in recommending an inte rim dividend of more than 4s. per share, to be paid, as usual, in January. Mr. Thomas Holds worth Newman, of the firm of Messrs. Newman, Hunt, and Co., has consented to join the board." The report, after some alterations, was then passed. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the I proceedings. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty ;—Lieut. Francis C. Lousada, to the command of her Majesty's guuboat Britt°. mart, vice Alington, whose period of service in her has expired ; Sub-Lieut. Thomas H. Robertson, to the Vestal, as supernumerary ; Sub-Lieut. George A. Primrose, to the Monarch, as supernumerary ; and Sub-Lieut. Win. Douglas Walker, to the Duke of Wellington, M uperuumeary, IQ; divotial. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUR7.—This Day. OLD COURT. (Befure Mr. Justice Byles.) THE WOOD-GREEN TRAGEDY. Frederick Hinson was placed iu the dock, in dicted for the wilful murder of William Douglas Boyd and Maria Death. The fatal occurrence took place on tl..e 4th of October last at Wood-green, and the det, tits of it are so well known that repetition of them, on this occasion is needless. The witnesses for the prosecution hal iu.,g been examined, Dr. Kennealy addressed the jury for the p6soner. lie contended that the conduct of the deceasell man Boyd had been such as to create a feeling in the prisoner's mind which upset reason, and in the short fury thu meeting of the two per sons in company together at the rail way sta tiou produced, he became, fur the time, an irresponsible agent. lie knew that his hopes of happiness in this world had gone, and i❑ the agony of his mind he returned home, he found his gun ready loaded, and in a state of wild insanity, of un controlied madness, he shot her through the beam Was it possible fur any other person than a blind, insane man to have acted in the manner the prisoner had done. They had it from more than two witnesses that the man when last seen after the shot had been fired had the appearance of a wild and insane person, and being in this state of wild excitement could they come to the conclusion that he was in a state of mind to become responsible for his actions. The whole of the witnesses for the prosecution agree that the prisoner, after the shot had been fired and before ho met with the man Boyd, was in a state of wild insanity, and that im pression he thought was fully confirmed by the actions of the prisoner when reason began to assume its sway by his coolly asking the question, "Where's the police ?" He felt that they would weigh well the whole of the facts connected with the case, and that they would calmly deliberate before they came to the conclusion that he was in the ;posses sion of reason when the terrible act was com mitted. They would also bear in mind that the old law justified a man taking the life of another man found in adultery with his wife. Mr. Justice Byles said that was not the law. Dr. Kennealy—He was under the impression that such was so, but if not murder it was at least treated as justifiable homicide, and all be asked the jury to say was that the act committed by the prisoner did not amount to murder, that he had received such provocation as would reduce the crime below that of murder. Mr. Justice Byles said prisoner was indicted for that he did, on the 4th of October last, with malice aforethought, put an end to the life of Maria Death. He might say that the defence set up for the pri soner was, that he had received such provocation as to reduce the crime below that of murder. The learned counsel had made certain observations on the law with respect to that point, but he might tell him that a man taking another man in the act of adultery with his wife, and killing him, might by the law become justifiable homicide, but this case was different in some im portant points from that. The deceased man was not taken in the act, and the deceased woman was not the prisoner's lawful wife, and he might say that if wild and reckless passion was to become a palliation for the crime of murder, no man's life would be safe for au instant. Divesting the case from all the intricacies with which it had been surrounded, the only question that was left for them to decide was, Did or did not the prisoner kill the unfortunate woman Maria Death ? The judge than proceeded to read the evidence and comment upon it. Having concluded, The jury, after a very short deliberation, re turned a verdict of guilty. The Learned Judge then passed sentence of death, which the prisoner heard with the greatest composure. POLICE INN ELLE.; ENCE.-2his Day, ~~ ~_ MARYLEBONE. ANOTHER BETTING-MOUSE P.KOSECUTION.—Thom4s Rus sell, 9, Bird-street, Marylehme, beershop-keeper, was charged with keeping a house for the purpose of betting, and John Fart Ling !MI Richard Richards were ttlo charged with being there fur the purpose of aiding and assisting.

The evidence of Densham, the superintendent of the casual ward, was to the effect that the prisoner was ad mitted as a casual, and the next mot ming on Densham call ing up the casuals, he found that the bread room had been entered and five loaves stolen, and he ascertained from some of the other casuals that the prisoner had gained an entrance to the room by having taken the screw from the lock with the aid of a spoon, and taken the bread. Two witnesses were called in support of the case, and the prisoner alleged that they were as much to blame in the affair as he was. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for 21 days with hard labour. AN INCREASING OFFENCE.—John Williams and Louis Sayers were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with destroying their clothing in St. James's Workhouse.

TILE SAILOR AND THE IRlSllWoMAN.—Oathorine Spencer, a tall, masculine Irishwoman, who has been repeatedly in custody, was charged with stealing a coat and a pair of boots, the property of George Noel of the ship Retriever. The prosecutor met with the prisoner in Shadwell, and she persuaded him to accompany her to her dwelling, where many sailors have been plundered. He was induced by her to pull off his clothes and go to bed. He did as she directed him, and she immediately ran away with his coat and boots and pawned them for is. The property was produced and identified. The prisoner said the sailor gave her permission to pawn his coat and boots. _ Mr. Benson-1 do not believe you. It is not at all pro bable that a sailor would walk about without shoes and a coat this cold weather. The Prisoner—lie said he could obtain a pair of carpe slippers this morning. Mr. Benson— You have been here twenty or thirty times for robberies, and you live in Phillip-3treet, St. George iu-the-East, full of infamous dens, where sailors and others are continually plundered. I shall not send you for trial ou this occasion, because the man is going to sea, but convict you cf illegally pawning. You are fined £5 nn i the value of the clothes, 355., hi all £d lie., or be impri soned and kcpt to hard labour for three calendar months. The sahor and the pawnbroker must divide the loss be tween them, and when Noel pays the pawnbroker Ss. 6d. the property will be delivered to him.
