MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. To-day there was a better tone on the Stock Ex change, and Consols advanced in price. There was a similar rise in the Foreign market, but the greatest improvement was in Telegraph shares. Consols are now at 94 to 93i- for money ; ditto, for Account, 94 ; Three per Cent.

I 'ln the:Foreign Market (Turkish Five per Cents. opentd firm, at 43i to 43i ; but the price is now 431 to 431 ; Spanish are firm at 261 to 27 ; Egyptian (1868) Bonds are k lower than at the opening, the price being now 771 to 771 ; Italian Stock is firm at 31 to 31 ; and Mexican is 131 to 14. In the Railway Market the chief movement :is a decline of in South Eastern to 76. Midland, at 1181 to 1181 ; and Caledonian, at 79 to 791, are both flat. Great Northern ordinary stock is 1 per cent. higher, at 1071, and the A stock I, at 107 k. Great Eastern are 361 to 361 ; Great Western, 541 to 55i ; Chatham, 151 to 161 ; Brighton, 441 to 444 ; London and North Western, 1191 to 120} ; and Metropolitan, 831 to 84. American Five-Twenty Bonds are 83} to 831 ex div. ; Erie Shares, 20 to 201 ; and Illinois, 991 to 100. In Bank Shares the only movement is a fall of 10s. in London Joint Stock, the price being 311 to 32}. London and County is quoted at 48 to 49 ; London and Westminster, 58k to 59j ; Union of London, 37 to 38 ; Chartered Mercantile, 34 to 32i ; Anglo-Austrian, 8 to 10 premium. In Miscellaneous. Securities Hudson's Bay is flat, at 131 to 13 j ; International Finance, 2 to 1i dis. ; and National Discount, 11 to 14. The excitement in the Telegraph Construction and Masntenance Market continues. At the open ing this morning the price was 33 to 341, but it is now 32; to 33. Bona fide sales appear to be tak ing place, becauie at the present price as much as 33s per pound or thereabouts, is obtainable in the Stock Exchange, while on the £8 to be repaid by the company in the reduction of capital there will, of course, be received but 20s per pound by the then shareholders. Anglo-American Telegraph is steady, at 20 to 211 ex div. French Cable is in quired for, at 161 to 16!. The bar silver by the West India packet has been sold at ss. Ofd. per ounce, showing no change. A portion of this supply will be sent to the Continent, and the rest to India. The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway traffic return, including the Metropolitan Extension and branches, shows this week an increase of £526, compared with the corresponding period of last year ; the Metropolitan Extension, separately, an increase of £387 ; the North Eastern an increase of £6,502; the Lancashire and Yorkshire a decrease of £843 ; the Caledonian a decrease of £1,310 ; and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire an in crease of £224. With regard to the contemplated new Turkish Loan, telegrams from Constantinople, dated the 12th instant, state that " the loan of £12,000,000 sterling, concluded with the Comptoir d'Escompte, has been definitively ratified by the Council of Ministers. The Levant Herald states that the loan will bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent., with a sinking fund of 1 per cent. The Comptoir d'Escompte takes the loan nominally at 56, which is reduced by charges to 54. Six millions of the loan are taken by the firm, the remainder ou com mission, the whole being secured by sixty millions of unhypothecated revenue, chiefly Anatolian." Prom this we may look for an early introduction of the operation. Tnere were no gold operations at the bank yes terday. Tue City yr Lltuciio , , (rein we Itirca in.‘" brought £30,000. The Tasmanian, for the West Indies, has taken out £50,000 in gold and £1 in silver. In Mincing-lane the market has been in most instances quiet. The tea sales have finished up without any appreciable change in prices. Sugar has attracted very little attention. Small coffee auctions have passed off steadily. There has been less buoyancy in the cotton market. In metals the only change is that there has been more doing in Copper on easier terms. Tallow meets a better sale, and is 3d. per cwt. dearer. The quality of the Madeira vintage this year, according to a report of Messrs. Rutherford, Drury, and Co., is expected to be very good, and the estimated quantity is about 8,000 pipes, the same as that of last year, almost a third of the old average. The Frankfort advices state that the Bourse has been influenced by a slight improvement in the position of the Vienna market, and that Austrian speculative securities have consequently been more in demand. "There would," it is said, "be a far better feeling if the improvement at Vienna were due to natural causes, and not to the interference of the Hungarian Finance Minister, who has sunk another four millions of florins to prop up various establishments." As it is, Credit shares have ad vanced from 210 to 221 ; and French-Austrian shares (on which speculators for the fall have to submit to heavy rates for the loan of stock at each liquidation) from 318 to 362; Lombard shares alone have remained flat owing to heavy sales on London and Berlin account. The receipts of the line con tinue satisfactory, although they have somewhat suffered by the early winter in those quarters. Speculators remain confident that the Suez Canal will bring a good amount of traffic to it. The return from the Bank of England for the week ended the 17th of Nov. gives the following results when compared with the previous week : Rest PuLlic deposits Other deposits 17,910,189 ...

The Argentine Congress closed on the 12th with a message from the President, which was confined to a resume of the principal events of the session, and congratula tions on the many useful measures voted this year. The Ministerial project for the construction of a port at Buenos Ayres hid been withdrawn, and the Governor of the province had recommended its construction without any subsidy from the Na tional Government. Congress had sanctioned an issue of 6,000,000 hard dollars in National Bonds, at 70 per cent., and a fall of 10 per cent. had occurred in one day,' but the Finance Minister lwit4 explaißod that they aro W be tGliea up oa ~~: ov. 1 8 . attended rode 00 Rigline° SO:9 ay. 18. tion duc• 109• 1154• 113 i. 1151. 1071. 1391. 271. 25}c• 34c. ;on,' old )Y. 19' Steal tier ffitil 153 in *ee l e• eded for rere f°' 5 aJ -on3 Ne vi tovihe'd rt. 18' ss 'earl° 1 cone. ) ans ltec li ra°" Iter the . er aDoi e° Khe dive ;he coo' v. 18. he li ti" ess fullf f • water' i in t 130 prOC ee' y by g* ial C°ll' e dire r ' LeS SeP° ..... ,4 'rbe iij novl of P s ; iroes ° Should lent is uniso ll to state 3 wW il a pro- tell 6, eigu re' Ps OW s of the itiOn t° ral B "; terest" DI de pre o su ppOr/ lips 811 • A o lass' IV ~ugelli e ave 00 Tb° North oriVeci r. 9* c .

On the other hand, those mem bers of the redoubtable 116 who are now in Paris openly avow their resolution immediately upon the opening of the Chambers, to procure a change in the Ministry, and substitute for the present reactionary and divided Cabinet a Government which shall be really in harmony with the majority of the popular representatives. The France states that the Emperor has made another appeal to M. Emile 011ivier—a statement which appears periodically. The public would really be much indebted to M.ollivier if ho woulcltake office, and thus put an and to these reports. The Siecle has not missed so favourable an occasion for its satire, and has called down the wrath of the Liberte by its malicious insinuations. M. de Girardin, after categorically naming the offices which his friend might have had, and the dates at which he might have had them, indignantly observes that when one has the chance of being the first minister under a constitutional government and a new reign, one does not accept the place of the last minister under personal government and an expiring regime. The indeci sion of the ruling powers excites this writer's displeasure, and he warns them that they should take for their motto the words " Too Late." The electoral meetings continue though without notioe. able incidents. A letter professing to be from Rochefort, withdrawing his candidature, was. brought to the office of the Revell yesterday, but was perceived to be apocryphal. A similar communication was made to the Reforme. M. Rochefort is not very likely to withdraw from his position of popular hero, though he finds it somewhat fatiguing. At a meeting in the Rue de Crimes he was obliged to give up the effort to speak. M. Gambetta must, however, be gratified to learn from what was said that M. Rochefort declared he was quite willing to live en bon camarade with M. Gambetta, if the latter were not guilty of the defection of which he was suspected ! In reference to the irreconcileable editor:of the Lanterns, I may mention an awkward quotation made by the France from an old number, in which M. Rochefort uses these words: " I have remarked that a. man who wants to be deputy is capable of anything." Cynics suggest this motto should be adopted by the committees in the First Circumscription. Ledru - Rollin having withdrawn from the Third, M. Laferrihe will again come forward. A meeting of the electors of this Circumscription has been held, air which M. Cremieux made a remarkable speech. Learn-Rollins' letter having been read, M. Cremieux formally undertook to bring before the Corps Legislatif the question why Ledru- Rollin was placed beyond the pale of the amnesty, and the demand for the abolition of the oath. He was loudly applauded. The Fiyaro states that the troops of the garrison in Paris will be collected in their barracks during Sunday and Monday next, the days of the elections. It is affirmed that, since M. de Lavalette's arrival in England, strenuous efforts have been made to obtain some concession in the tariffs, so as to satisfy the French manufacturers, but that the attempt has not been sue- cessful. Mgr. Dupanloup's letter has caused a good deal of excite ment in the religious world ; it is regarded as very French in its sentiments. M. Maret's letter has also engaged attention. Abd-el-Kader, who was invited to be present at the inauguration of the Suez Canal, had an audience of the Empress Eugenie the day after his arrival at Cairo. He afterwards paid his respects to the Viceroy, who placed a Government hotel at his disposal.

GA Tuesday evening, during a discussion on the Land Question, in the Town Hall, Brighton, Mr. Henry Willett, on the authority of Mr. Thigh% brought a serious charge against the Duke of Richmond. The Brighton Daily News reports Mr. Henry Willett as follows :—" In West Sussex there had been no appeal to the constituency for the last twenty-six years, and a noble duke, who had estates in that part of the country, was appointed as President of the Board of Trade by the late Government. But he asked in what way was he fitted for the fulfilment of those duties appertaining to the office he held ? He had been told during the - -as week by a friend of the present President of the Board ut Trade (the Right Hon. John Bright) that during that duke's tenure of office, he so filled up the offices connected with the department with his nominees, that in justice to the country no ncminee ought to be appointed for the next ten years." STRONG TEMPTATION TO AN EYGINTER. Tho Calcutta Englishman, speaking of the late circular of the Government with reference to the civil engineers, says that, curiously enough, at the very moment that the civil engineers have been making so loud a clamour, it happens to have learned that a commission of 5 per cent. has been offered in writing by the manufacturer who is making the iron work for the Lahore and Jhelum Railway. Of course, the English man says the honourable and skilful engineer who is at the head of the works has declined such an offer, and no doubt requested that the sum should be deducted from the bills sent in to Govern ment; but the very fact of such an offer having been made is the strongest argument that has come before the public for the necessity of the circular. 86 88 at Bristol and Exeter 4 p.cent. 100 at Caledonian cars., No. 2 lOO at Do.

The Dublin Evening Mail reports an extraordinary scene at an election of dispensary doctor for the village of Murroo, county Limerick. The candidates were Dr. O'Malley, a Roman Catholic, and Dr. Keyes, a Protestant, and the Roman Catholic had considerable support from Protestant committee-men and the Protestant from Roman Catholics. Tho mob, however, were on the side of the Roman Catholic candidate, and on the morning of the election large crowds assembled. One body visited the house of the rector of the parish, the Rev. A. MiLaughtin, and blockaded his back and front doors to prevent him emerging to vote. When a party of police raised the siege the police with diffi culty escorted the clergyman to the meeting. A R o man Catholic gentleman's gig was broken and thrown into the ditch to prevent him from attending. Another gentleman was " violently hustled," and finally the mob broke into the com mittee-room. Meanwhile, Mr. Warburton, the stipendiary magistrate, having arrived, the Riot Act was read, and the mob removed from the door by the police with fixed bayonets. The police were stoned. At last Sir W. Barring ton, the chairman, was obliged to postpone the election for a week, amid the hootings of the mob. The resolu tion was placed on record that "Mr. Warburton, R. 141., the Government officer in command of the police, from having stated to the committee that he would not be respon• sibie for human life if the election was proceeded with, this statement be entered by the secretary on the minutes." One of the guardians attributed the riot to Fenians. MISS AMY SEDGWICK IN COURT. The bankruptcy of Dr. J. W. DPKenna, of 48, Margaret street, Cavendish-square, was before the court on Thursday, Dr. M`Kenna was formerly partner with Dr. Parkes, the late husband of Miss Amy Sedgwick. He now came up for his last examination and discharge, having been made bankrupt on his own petition. His debts were £1907, and his assets about £2OO. He attributed his bankruptcy to the falling off of his practice since his partner's death. Dr. Parkes had concealed from him a mortal disease under which he laboured. Mrs. Parkes (late Miss' Sedgwick) opposed in person, and charged the bankrupt with having tortured and put to death her husband, and then taken possession of the whole of the furniture and debts, &c. A gentleman had offered £BOO for a moiety of the practice, which, she said, had since been depreciated by the want of attention and skill of Dr. McKenna. After considerable discussion of an animated nature, the Court adjourned Dr. McKenna's examination until the 18th March next, at one o'clock, for the assignees to dis pose of the good will of the business. BARNED'S BANKING COMPANY. Mr. Charles Motley and Mr. Lowell Barncd Moxlcy, two of the former directors of Barnes's Danhh.,, & Limp—a>, 1nu..a. 7 ..,‘“mined beforo Alderman Sir J. C. Lawrence, upon a summons which charged them with unlawfully conspiring together to publish certain false accounts in a report and prospectus relating to the affairs of the company, by which means they had induced the public to subscribe for a large num ber of shares, and thereby defrauded them of the sum of £2,000.000 sterling. Evidence was given, for the purpose of showing that, after the failure of the limited company the defendants executed a deed of inspectorship, under which they admitted that they were indebted to the amount of £883,000, of which £215,000 was owing to the new com pany. After a good deal of other evidence had been taken, the inquiry was again adjourned. ACTIONS AGAIIVST NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS. In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Thursday, Mr. H. James, Q.C., moved for a rule, in " Maddick v. Beaton," calling upon the defendant to shew cause why he should not answer certain interrogatories. The learned counsel said that Mr. Lloyd, Q.C., had obtained a rule absolute, and the present motion came in the way of an appeal from the decision of Mr. Justice Willes, who, in Cham bers, refused to grant it. The action had been brought against the defendant for false representation in the sale of a newspaper called the Illustrated Theatrical Sporting News, that the circula tion of the paper amounted to 8,500 copies per week, and that the income from advertisements was £3 per week ; whereas in his declaration the plaintiff alleged that this statement was not true, that the circulation never reached to more than 300 copies weekly, and the interrogatories now filed, and which defendant was asked to answer, had reference to those statements, and as to the profit and loss he had sustained previous to the transfer of the pro prietary of the paper. The Lord Chief Justice said the interrogatories must be allowed. Mr. Kean, Q.C., said a short time ago, it would be recol lected by their lordships, he obtained a rule to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the proprietor of a newspaper called the North Middlesex Chronicle, in consequence of a very scandalous libel which it published with reference to a man named Hinson, who was on his trial on a very serious charge. Since the service of the rule on the proprietor he had come to a proper sense of what was due to public justice and printed, verbatim, all the affidavits. He had also in a very handsome and proper manner made an ample and satis factory apology for the reflections cast on Hinson's charac ter. He (the learned counsel) therefore asked for the discharge of the rule on the understanding that defendant would pay the costs. Mr. M`Namara, for the defendant, consented to the arrangement proposed by his learned friend, and the rule was discharged accordingly. The members of the Manchester Conservative Club have been entertaining the Lancashire Conservative members at a grand banquet. The ohair was taken by Mr. T. H. Birley, and speeches were made by Mr. Hugh Birley, M.P. for Manchester, Mr. Graves, M.P. for Liver pool, and several of the county members. The chief social and political topics of the day were touched upon, the lion. A. Egerton, M.P., ranking the Land Question, Education, and Intemperance as the three most press ing. He thought that the Irish tenant had grievances which must be redressed, and with regard to educa tion ho would extend the denominational system so as all children should be brought in and forcibly educated. He was not in favour of the Permissive Bill as it stood, but he did think that ratepayers should have the same power to restrict the number of publichouses as the landowners had. A toast to the memory of the late Earl of Derby was drunk in solemn silence. Mr. W. Henry M'lntyre, oil and paint dealer, has an establishment in Liverpool, within a short distance of dwelling-houses, and in this place an inspector found, on the 9th instant, two tanks of petroleum, one of them oil and the other spirit, the latter giving off an inflammable va pour at the low temperature of 48 degrees. The dangerous nature of the contents of these tanks was not notified as the law requires, and there was a gaslight within a yard of the petroleum spirit. Mr. M'lntyro was summoned yesterday for having the petroleum without a license and for neglect ing to label the tanks. The only plea tendered in defence was ignorance of the law on the subject. The magistrates ac cepted the defendant's plea, and inflicted only a penalty of 50s. and costs in each case. Mr. M'lntyro was, however, warned that he was liable to a penalty of £2O a day for every day he kept the petroleum on his premises, and he was also informed that he would probably uot be able to Obtain a licence. The prisoner was apprehended with the book in his posses; ion, and while he had had the book he had occupied himself by removing the mark of the Museum from the title-page. He pleaded guilty. The solicitor from the Museum said it was most impor tant that the property should be protected, and although there was no desire to press hardly on the prisoner, yet it was most important for it to go forth that books could not be stolen with impunity. Tho most ingenious methods wore adopted for the identification of property stolen from the Museum, and although the prisoner had cleverly obliterated the mark on the title-page of the book in question, yet ho had failed to discover the other methods adopted by the authorities. Mr Flowers said it was paiuf ul to find an educated man stealing a book, for selling which he would get compara tively a trifle, compared with the value of the book as one of reference. He had to punish poor people when they stole loaves of bread when they were hungry, and he could not refrain from passing a severe sentence in the present instance. Had there been another case ho would have sent the prisoner for trial, but under all the circumstances he should sentence him to four months' im prisonment with hard labour. 105 107 93 10J 96 UV 110 113 66 72 ... ... 1101 94 96 101 106 95 100 87 89 78 80 96 98 66 70 ~~ 9J LA TV iNTELLIGENCE.-7his Day. ARCHES COURT. The Dean of Arches gave judgment to-day on a point raised whether, through the resignatio❑ of the Bishop of Winchester, the suit against the Rev. R. H. E. Wix did not fall to the ground. The clergyman had burned incense and used lighted candles during the celebration of thelloly Eucharist. Sir R. Phillimore said it was a novel point, and wished to know whether an application could not be made to proceed with the suit by amending the articles by Staley, " the late Bishop." Per hats this would be sufficient. Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram appeared for the late Bishop of Winchester, Ito continue the suit by allowing the Primate to act in his individual and not in his episcopal office. There was no abatement by the resignation. His lordship allowed this to be con tinued by an alteration in the title " Late Bishop of Winchester." POLICE INIELLIGENCE.-71os Day. -- -- - BOW-STREET.

T EAMES. SAVAGE CASE OF STABBING.— Ernest Le Marque, a French seaman, .aged 24 years, who has been in custody since the 11th instant, was brought up on remand, charged with feloniously cutting and wounding William Franks with a knife. _ A police-constable, named Henry Turrant, 63 11, was called to a house in Grace's-alley, Wellclose-square, on the night of the 11th of the presant month, and there found the Ftenchman, whom he took into custody. Another sailor, named Franks, was lying on the floor weltering in his blood, and with his belly ripped up. He was conveyed to the London Hospital, where he has ever since remained under medical treatment. _ Mr. Paget inquired if it was necessary for him to attend the London Hospital to receive the deposition of the wounded man. .. The reply was that he was better, and that the medical officers of the London Hospital were of opinion that, notwithstanding the serious nature of the wound, he might be sufficiently recovered to attend the Court next week. The prisoner, a placid-looking, whiskerless man, ad dressed the Court in the French language, and said he was struck by the man Franks, who threatened to knock him down with a chair, before he used his knife. lir Paget addressed the prisoner in French, and said—l shall remand you for another week. THE MODERN TARPEIAN ROCK.—Jane Syrett, aged 40 years, the mother of nine children, and the wife of a re spectable, hard-working man, dwellini at No. 2, York place, St. George-in the-East, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with attempting to drown herself in the London Dock, by getting over the railings of that modern Tarpeian Rock, the Old Gravel-lane swivel bridge. She was saved by a police-constable, named Cheekly, No. 215 who said many had drowned themselves at the same place, and others had made unsuccessful attempts on their lives. Mr. Paget said he know it, and measures should be taken to prevent suicidal persons getting over the railings of the bridge, which was a most dangerous one. He remanded the prisoner for a week. The husband of the prisoner said ho loved his wife dearly, and Ihne .h e had been a good wifo to him ; but that iatterly she had been mited up with a set of had women, who persuaded her to drink heavily, and led her into inischiwf. He implored of the magistrate to release her. Mr. Paget said he would do so if the inquiry ho would order to be made turned out favourable. If otherwise he would adopt the usual course of a week's detention in Clerkenwell Prison. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CART ROBBERY.—Richard Wilson, a carpenter, was charged before Mr. linos with stealing a parcel of tea, the property of Messrs. Jones, Evison, and Barter, tea mer chants, of the Borough. From the evidence of Charles Laxton, 153 S, it ap peared that while in Cleveland-street, yesterday after noon, in plain clothes, he saw a crowd around a cart, and on going up to ascertain the cause, was informed that the pri soner had taken a parcel of tea from a cart. The prisoner (who was being held by a man the lad in charge of the cart had given a lift to) ran away, and ho (Laxton) wont after him and took him into custody, when he admitted taking the tea, saying that he was out of work. On search ing the prisoner he found 85 farthings upon him. Thomas Over, a lad in the employ of the prosecutors', said that on coming out of a shop in Cleveland-street, where he had to leave a parcel, ho was told the prisoner had taken a parcel directed to a customer named Mark Lam in Sussex-street from the cart, and a man he had given a lift to was kicking the prisoner. Mr. Thomas Pelgrim, clerk to the prosecutors, said the value of the tea wos .£1 2s. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Ile had been out of work some time, and what was a fellow to do? lie had always borne a good character. Mr. Knox, in committing the prisoner for six months' with hard labour, said the fact of so many farthings being found on him looked very suspicious. WESTMINSTER A LAUGHABLE AFFAIR.—Mr. Neate, a butcher, of Bond-street, Chelsea, was summoned by the police for furiously driving. Anstiss, the constable, with brother officers, was re turning from the opening of Blackfriars- bridge, and when in Chelsea, crossing Simmonds-street, the defendant came along at the rate of 10 miles an hour, struck Anstiss and nearly knocked him down. In reply, defendant said he was not going at 10 miles an hour, for one of the other constables when asked, said two miles an hour. _ _ _ . _ Mr. Selfe—He was ironical. I never saw a butcher's cart go two miles an hour. Defendant—They sometimes go fast with the:colour be hind them, but I had not a blue coat on. A person in the body of the court said the horse could only go six miles an hour. He was ejected by the officers Defendant said he was sorry it happened ; he would give the constable a leg of mutton for his Sunday's dinner. Mr. Selfe—That's a fair offer; what do you say, An stiss ? Anstiss made no objection, and the summons was with drawn, defendant to give the constable a 101 b. leg of mut ton for Sunday's dinner. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 150. per £1 sterling on comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 176.104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer:in Paris than in London We regret to learn that the Archbishop of Can terbury is seriously ill at Broadstairs, and tha. Mr. Seymour Haden, his London medical attendant, has been telegraphed for.

Her Majesty's screw troopship Orontes, Capt. H. Phelps, yesterday afternoon embarked alongside Portsmouth Dockyard the 23d (Royal Welsh Fusiliers) Regiment of Infantry, for conveyance to Devonport, and was appointed to sail last evening. Some disarrangement of the screw shaft having been reported, the second assistant engineer officer of Portsmouth Dockyard will proceed in the ship to Devonport to report upon the actual working con dition of the shafting between the two ports. Most probably the Orontes will be placed in dock at Devonport for an examination of the shafting. When the ship is out of the hands of the engineer , ing department, and reported ready to proceed on further troop service, she will fill up her sea going stores of coals, stores, and provisions, and afterwards sail from Devonport on a round of troop service between England, Halifax, and the West Indies.
