CITY; Two o'Clocs., The business to-day was not of a very active de scription, but y.eterday's prices .wera maintained. The principal business in the English market is the preparation of the monthly settltment. American 5-2Xs have given way, but Continental secutities remain firm. Money is still held for 2k to 3 per Cent. Consols are 93 21 for money ; ditto, for Ac count, 921 ; Three ;per Cent. Reduced, 911 1 ; New Three per Cents, 911 z ; ditto Annuities, April, 1111 x.d. ; Bank of England Stock, 4 per Cent., 243 2.

In the railway market Midland, Brighton, Metropolitan, and London, Chatham, and Dover Stocks have improved i to 1 per cent. ; but London and North Western has declined 1. Some of the present prices are as follows :—London and North Western, 1141 to 1 ; Great Western, 48 1 toj ; Midland, 1151 1 ; South Western, 88 to 9 0; Great Eastern, 371 to 38 ; Brighton, 501 to 1; South Eastern, 771 I ; Metropoliian, 1051 to 1. In the Foreign Market Italian of 1861 and Turk• inh of 1865 have improved I per cent., while Egyp tian of 1868 have declined to the same extent. Subjoined are the prices :—Chilian of 1867, 94/ to 95 1 ; Egyptian of 1864, 89 to 90 ; do. of 1868, 76 1 to 77 ; Italian of 1861, 56; to 57 ; Tobacco 4 to 5 prem. American Five-Twenty Bonds have receded to 8 11 to 1. Erie Railway share are quoted 25 to 1, Showing a rise of I per cent. In miscellaneous shares National Discounts are 111 to 1 ; General Credit, 11 to 11 dis. Bank shares are steady. City, 111 to 124, and London and Westminster, 64} 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 A. further sum of £82,000 in bar gold has been Withdrawn from the Bank for importation.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 £42,000 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 voir, on the Upper Murray river. The tenders are to be opened at the Loudon and Westminster Bank en Tuesday, the 9th inst. The statements recently circulated regarding the lurkish 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 with the hope of negotiating the large railway loans lately authorised by the Ottoman Government, and that there is also some idea of appealing to the London market. Such a step, however, would be entirely useless so long as the grievous causes of complaint 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 th e Empire, for conversion into bonds of the New Consolidated State Debt, pursuant to the law of 20th June, 1868. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 1:6 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 Bank, in succession to M. Buffarini. An extraordinary general meeting of proprietors of the lonian Bank is called for the 233 inst., " to hear 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 £11,104, being £495 more than in the correspond ing week of last year. An extraordinary general meeting of the Mauri tius Land Credit and Agency Company (Limited) Will be held on the 17th inst. BRITISH FUNDS-TWO VOLOOK. . GOVERNMENT FUNDS. Q Iper Cent.

His Honour, on taking his seat, said—ln the case of Mr. Edwards, it becomes my I aid ul 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 forth in the order which the registry of the court wil now record. Mr. Registrar S. Price then read the order of the Lord Chancellor. He recited the Bth section of the Bank ruptcy Act of 1861, whcreby official assignees are for bilden 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 bad, 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 cocsideration 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 sail 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 Chau cell r's letter to Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, of the 29th of January Jest, directing an inquiry to be made, and Mr. Edwards's statement in answer thereto, the order p-oceeded—" 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 INTELLIGENCE.—thi s Day. GRAVESEND, Tuesday Morning.

Betham-Edwards, " Author of " Dr. Jacob," &c. 3 Vols.—lt is long 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 character. 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."—Obserrer. THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS. — A most interesting and instructive little work, describing briefly but with great clearness, the rise and progresii of watch and clock makin has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of 25, Old Bond-street, 99, Westbourne-grove, 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 its 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. S. A ALLEN'S WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER OR DRESSING never fails to quickly restore Grey or Faded Hair to its youthful colour and beauty, and with the first application a beautiful gloss and de lightful fragrance is given to the Hair. It stops the Hair from falling off. It prevents baldness. It promotes luxuriant growth; it causes the Hair to grow thick and strong. It removes all dandruff. It contains neither oil nor dye.

Buckingham, of Lancaster, New Hampshire, has purchased the entire tawnship of Dix vine, 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 scenery of that region. A Nashua teamster named Allen, who invested a few 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. Course pasturage and low alder scrub.-1606.

The erection of the new theological building at Yale College will begin next spring upon the lot owned by the corporation, on the corner of Elm and College streets, New Haven. California's population is only one-fourth female. In Nevada there are 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 Loudon and Paris. But the saddle horses are generally nferior to those of Europe. The value of the telegraph has just beau illus trated in tian Francisco, where a "sneak thief" China• man escaped on board the Pacific mail steamer to Hong kong. Telegrams were, however, sent by the robbed ioeuri the world from San Francisco, via New York, L ndon, and Ceylon to Hongkong to have him arrested. At Sitka, Messrs. P,ocopi Kiokak and Komol pechusattrigeo are Justices of the Peace. On the sth inst. a number of persons, including Hon. Galusha A. Grow, were injured by a train running off the track of the Lackawama and Bloomsburg Railroad, at Beach Haven. Mr. Grew was severely burned. The _Newspaper Press Fund manageta evidently do not read the American papers, or they would not so confidently announce that Mr. Reverdy Johnson, as Ame rican Envoy, will preside at their anniversary dinner at Willis' Rooms on the sth June. In September next a great national exhibition of horticulture will take place at Hamburg. A committee has been already formed. )IS.DINAUY AND STOCKh. r a id .

THE QUEEN'S ENGLISH. in the habit of ascribing articles to the wrong man ; but in fact this is what he says. Now comes the main point. "No periodical exists in which I have reviewed Mr. Surtees and Dean Stanley and Par son." Surely this is a paltry kind of evasion. The pciut is not whether Mr. Freeman has written dis paraging articles ag .iust Mr. Surtees, Dean Stan ley, and Mr. Pearson in one periodical, but whe ther he has written them. The escape by aceumu -1 ttion is no escape. Mr. Freeman app as to nurse some spite against Mr. Pearsou's name. He speaks of Mr. " Pear son's Early and Middle Ages.' ". He puts Mr. Pearson into the plural number, as though.he were the Siamese twins, and he denies him the kindly use of the possessive case. This latter slip may be due to ignorance of grammar, not infirmity of In fact, I am sure it is so, from evidence supplied by the following sentences, " That arti cle,' says Mr. Freeman," appeared in the Fortnightly Il.ecieit;, and as, like all other articles in that Re view, it had 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 periodical 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 ? Does he think that his fiddle-strings are his withers? Shakespeare, I believe, wrote "our withers are unwrung," which is both good English and good There are higher beauties yet in ;this brief text The word it is the weakest word in our English speech, and the frequent presence 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 him, or said anything about Mr. Pearson." Even this example is not 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 one of the female servants at the Green Dragon Hotel, Bishopsgate-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 one 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 examina tion he found a gold chain which had been lost same 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. William Rubert Stevenson, a youth about 17 years of ago, 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 _re° years in a reformatory, but that punishment was never carried out. The Recorder—How is that ? send for the 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? Mr 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 te. The liecorder—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 the sen tence in the first case was not carried out. I was sur prised to see him again so soon in Nowgate. The Recorder said it was a very bad case, and ho had no alternative but to sentence the prisoner to seven years Ronal sorvitu lc. POLICE LVTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGII-S TREET. 1.301113E1tY BY A TRUSTEE OF A PURESTERs' COURT. — John Balchin, senior trustee of Court Lord Clive of the Ancient Order of Foresters, held at. Mr. Cheese's tavern, Oxford-street, charged before Mr. 'ryrwhitt with stealing above £3O, moneys of the society, was ag.in brought up, but on the application of Mr. Pain, of Marylebone-road, be was vgain remanded. . - .tcrir (Tni The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise, and attended by the Dowager Duchess of Athole, drove out y afternoon. Prince Leopol,l walked in the Home Park. g Lindley - Murray —outraged in his grave by Mr. Edward Freeman—has been summoned back into the world of letters to utter the foilo, , ing emphatic protest through the pages of the A thenxam ; REVIEWS AND REVIEWERS. Upper Court, Feb. 20. I am glad that for once you have given to the world a real letter from a censor of books, printed " word for word and point for point." That letter from Mr. Edward A. Freeman is a "caution," and one may be sure that the Calibans of Literature will in future add to all communications sent to the public journals the good old postscript, " Please lick this mattzr into shape." I say nothing of Mr. Surtees's 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 iu 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. L)ok at Mr. Freeman's text. The first sentence in his letter gives the lie direct to a clergyman and a geutletnan ; though it does not openly and man fully deny the main charge. The second sem- 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" Mr. Surtees " has attacked the wrong man." Doing so ? Doing what? The an tecedent is "to attribute." The passage nniy 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 heard 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 line that text as it was written. It is a fine ca tinple of bad English. In the fist place, what is meant by " so d.Jing" is this connexion? The us 3 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 Englizli 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, lie has attacked the wrong man," is to write that which is both unmannerly and ungrammatical. In the second place, this jumble of words suggests a c'iarge which Mr. Freeman can hardly 'wan to tnak,:% " 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 at Bristol and Exeter 4 p.cent. 100 86 88 at Caledonian Qrs., No. 2 lOO ... st Do. Scot. N.E., 43 per cent lOO st Do.

The SPEAKEit took the chair at the usual hour, at which time every s.,at on the Government side of the house was fillA. In the galleries set aside for the use of distin guished pirsons were the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, Duko of Argyll, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Dean of Westminster, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Lord Bough ton, the Earl of liarrowby, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe,Mr. Reveroy Johnson (the American Minister), Right Hon. T. O'Hogau, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, S/c. NEW MEMBERS. The Marquis of IT:uti•ig,on, Mr. Fhipps, and Mr. beve reux took the orth and their seats for the Radnor boroughs, Westbury ar.d Wrexford. PETITIONS, A great number of petitions wore presented by bon members on the Ministerial hmehos in favour of the dis establishment of the MAI Church. ELEC nom. Mr. BRUCE gave nothae that, on Thursday next, he slnuld move for a select committee to inquire into the pre sent mode of conducting Parliamentary and municipal elections. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS. Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. V. Harcourt, said he could not produce the various judgments given during the trial of election petitions as they were not under his control. With respect to what course the Government intended to take, that was indicated in the notice he had already given on the subject. PAYMENT OF RATES. In reply to Mr. LIDDELL, Mr. GOSCHEN 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. THE PUBLIC PARKS. In reply to Sir 11. HoARE, • Mr. LA YARD said steps were being taken t) restore the grass in the open parts of tha 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. Oa the order of the day being read, Mr. GLADSTONE rose amidst loud cheers to move that the acts relating t, the Irish Church be read. The Chief Clerk of the House (Sir D. Le Merchant) having done so, Mr. GLADSTONE then moved that the house resolve itself into committee to consider those acts. The motion having been agreed to, and the house having gone into committee, Mr. GLADSTONE said that do 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 importanc , , 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 arrive] (boa, hear) -the more espJeially so us t!te church pope. lation in that country Was in many p arts merely offi.:i co sistiug of that of the clergymen, the clerk, and sexton. lie could not but think that many agreed with him that they cowl I not look back to the positien of matters in that country without shams- (hear, liar)—but for the resto ration of peace and prosperity it was now abeve all lines try to take away that token ani 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 th 3 question at that moment they were taking up the unfinished work of lat year, and dealing with a question which hal been clearly put and difluitively announced by the Jail: el , ctiou. To that answer he would add the resignation of the late Ministry, but on that subject he did not desire to pass one word of censure beyond saying that it bore emphatic testimony to the character of the judgment of the people. He knew he should be met with objections*thut the proposal ho was about to submit to Far liainent was adverse to the principles of Protestantism, but that was open to debate ; and it would also be contended that the preposition was against the Act of Union, but be contended that the proposal he should have the honcur to submit was, ou the contrary, confirming its general principle. (Hear, hear.) In c arrying 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 that tteeir legisla tioa 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 he hoped would dawn on Ire land. It was not sought to inflict any penalty or pain upon any one by the * Aet they hoped would beco Ile law. (Rear, hear.) Ono of the first matters that would occur after the passing of the bill would be the winding up of the present Ecclesiastical Commission in that country and the formation of a new 0113 to exist for 10 years, to which all questions would be submitted, and the opi nion of Parliament would be taken on all m it tars. With respect t. the appointments it was pro posed such might be made 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 term he had mentioned, but that no vested interests should be create•!. Those proposals he believed would be all that would be necessary to be done in the intermediate period and would take the place of the Suspensory Bill of last year. The Commision 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. D urine. the intervening period before the full 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 i ts l ega l re cognition. (Hear. hear.) It was proposed that all these provisions should come into operation on the day mentioned in 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.) g o should have to detain the house some time whil s t he proceeded to state how it was proposed to deal with the vested interests of the Irish Church, because they embraced various matters from the highest objects down to the life interest in grave yards. (Laughter.) There was also the necessity for winding up the matters with respect to the college of Maynooth, and also for the sale of the church lands, and these would call for the utmost care being exercised. The financial results of those operations, Mr. Gladstone stated, thus :—The tithe rent charge would yield £9,000,000 ; Lagds and Per petuity Rents, £6,250,000 ; Money, £750,000. —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 interest ing question—What shall we do with it ? After keeping the House some time in suspense, he announced that the Government had concluded to apply the surplus to the relief of " unavoidable calamities and suffering" not provided for by the Poi:7r Law. Proceeding to details he allocated £150,00 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 .£311,000 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 Disendowment—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 read a first time. Bo urtsE,plarch I.—Thrce o'clock.—The market closed as follows per Cent.
