ONEY MARKET t:y1~1 CONDIERCIAL INTELLIGENC4 CITY, Two o'CLom. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, and quotations were fully supported. The sales were estimated at from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken on speculation, and 500 for export. The Railway Share Market pre sented a quiet appearance, and prices were barely sustained. During the last few days the Foreign and Colo nial Produce Markets have been rather active. There bas been a good demand for the better de scriptions of sugar suitable for home consumption, the growers having bought rather largely at advanced rates. Increased activity has also pre vailed in the Refined Market, and owing to the Scarcity of dried goods on offer prices have been exceedingly firm. The following table exhibits the stocks on hand during the past week compared with the same period of 1857 : 1858. 1857. Stock, January 9 ..... 57,873 tons against 43,000 tom Landed last week 62,357 Delivered for home use 1 4,261 and export 46,623 tons. 4,121 stock, Jan. 16, 1858 58,096 tons against 42,502 tons. For coffee there has been a rather active demand, especially for good qualities of Plantation Ceylon, but holders demanding higher rates has, in a great measure, checked business. The deliveries for home consumption have increased, and considerably exceed the average, and stocks are slightly reduced. 1858. 1857. 8,951 tons agnst. 6,860 tons 169 218 Stock, January 9 Landed last week 9,120 7,078 tons Delii-ered for home use and export ~ Stook, Sannary.l6, 1858 8,724 tons agnst. 6,726 tons. Tea has been steady with but little variation to . report in values. Rice has been extremely dull, and only the better qualities of cleanei met a limited demand for home consumption. Salt petre and spices were in moderate request, and prices have been steady. The quarterly sales of cinnamon advertised for the 25th inst. have been postponed to the Ist February. Tallow has been quiet, but a fair amount of business has been done throughoit the week. The demand from the trade having been steady.

The following are the particulars of the ship ments of specie by the Indus on the 20th inst. : Alexandria (Egyptian gold coin) Bombay (silver) Ceylon (g01d).... Madras (gold) Calcutta (silver) ..

The dullness of trade may partly account for this movement. lithe shipments are kept down to about the present average, they will not produce much inconvenience, and in the absence of any new drain the Australian and American receipts will be chiefly sent into the Bank. The arrivals from Mexico and other parts will pretty nearly balance the efflux to the East. Subjoined are the particulars of the exports by the last four steamers Nov. 20—Nemesis £318,787 Dec. 4—lndus Deo. 20—Para Jan. 4—Colombo 237,954 About 45,000 Z. in gold was sold to the Bank authorities yesterday. The half-yearly meeting of the City Bank has just taken place. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair. The report stated that the bad debts had been less than might have been anticipated, and that ample provision was made for them. The net profits was 27,1451. 3s. 3d., from which a dividend was recommended at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, leaving 4,2281. ss. 6d. to be carried t 3 the new account. The total of assets and liabilities on both sides was 1,746,2531. After a short discussion the report was adopted. In the market for English Securities there has been no change of importance to-day, and business is exceedingly dull. Notwithstanding the conti nuous flow of gold into the Bank, the quotations Beam heavy, and the specu'ators Chow no dispo sition to increase their operations. The probability of an Indian loan, more than anything else, is occasioning this flatness. Consols for tran s f er have been 94i 9411 1 and 94a ; for account they have been very dull, at 94a being now firmer. The New 3 per Cents. are marked 94i 95, and the Reduced 94i Exchequer Bills are 225. to 265. premium ; the Bonds, 991 to 100 ; and India Bonds, 14s. to 17s. premium.

Mexican 3 per Cents, are 20i ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 44i ; Russian 4 per Cents., 99i ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 891; and Spanish New Defetred, 25k.

ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romil ly.) THI A.TTORNBY-GENERAL T. ME DIAN AND CIANONI or WINDSOR. This was an informa'ion filed by the Attorney-General for the purpose of obtaining a just and equal distribution of the properties granted to the Dean and Chapter of Windsor, in favour of the poor knights of Windsor, by Edward the S►xth and Fnbscquent Sovereigns of Eng land. The point of contention was, whether the Dean and Chapter were beneficially interested in the sovereign grants, or were only trustees of the charities for the benefit of the poor knights of Windsor. His Honour the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judgment, which he 'did at great length by going fully into the merits of the case this morning, was of opinion that the Dean and Chapter were beneficially interested in the several grants constituting these charities, and they were also trustees for the charities, and that there were no reasons shown for ordering a scheme fur the distribution of these charities. His Honour dismissed the information without coos. CO'RT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THR GRAND JURY SYSTEM. This morning the two grand juries for Middlesex were sworn in, according to ancient custom, before the Senior Puisne Judge, Mr. Justice Coleridge. Mr. Beek, a member of the Society of Friends com plained that many who were summoned never attended. He knew many who did not, and laughed at him for doing Ro. He had had to attend from a distant part of Hertfordshire, at great trouble and inconvenience to his business. Mr. Justice Coleridge said that if such a case were to be brought before him be would fine the party. In charging the grand jury, the learned judge referred to the antiquity of the institution, and the important duties the grand juries had to perform in early periods of our history. By the great change that had taken place in our laws, the settlement of our constitution, and the generally peaceable disposition of the people, their duties were now merely nominal, but so long as it remained it was the duty of every good citizen to attend to the precept summoning them, and any case of contumacious disobedience he would punish as the law allowed. He thought that in any modification of the institution it would be worth considering whether one jury would do as well as two. The grand jury then retired. COURT OF BA.NKRUPTCY.

PINEY. This Ism an action brought by the plaintiff, who is an accountant, to recover the sum of 101. on an 1.0. U. given for work and labour done by the plaintiff for the defendant in preparing a balance•sheet to enable the defendant to pas 4 the Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, and stated the fact that defendant had gone before the Court on his own petition, and by the Act he was required to swear that he was worth more than 150/. above the expenses of the Court, and in the belief that defendant had sworn truly he gave anundertaking to accept such amount as the Court might accord for the preparation of the act:ton/AR, but on the investigation of the accounts it turned out that the estate would bare!y defray the expenses cf the court, and he thereupon refused to file the balance-sheet nnless the defendant gave an 1.0. U. fur 101. It was no w contended that the plaintiff was bound to file the account under the undertaking and could not recover on the 1.0. U. Mr. Buchanan contended urgently against such a proposition and urged that all the delay arose through the misstatement made by the defendant, on which alone hie petition h a d been received. It was ultimately decided that the case should be adjourned for two months, for the production of the memorandum, and to ascertain what the estate had realised. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

OPENING OF TIM FRENCH CORPS LEGISLATIF. THE EMPEROR'S SPEECH. Yesterday the Corps Legislatif assembled in the Salle des Marechaux, at the Tuileries. The Em peror received in person the oaths of such members of the Setia . e and the Legislative body as had not yet gone through that formality. Salvos of artillery announced the beginning and close of the proceedings. The Emperor thus addressed the assembled Legis lative body : Gentlemen, Senators, and Deputies, At the Annual meeting of the Chambers I ren der you an account of what has taken place during your absence, and I ask your support for the mea sures to be taken. Since last year the Government has followed its regular and progressive march, exempt from all rain ostentation. It has often been pretended that to govern France it was necessary continually to keep the public mind alive with some great theatrical display. I think, on the contrary, that it suffices to endeavour exclusively to do good to deserve the confidence of the country. The action of the Gc rernment has consequently been confined to doing what was most necessary in the different branches of the administration. In the interests of agriculture, the exporta tion of and the distillation from, grain have again been authorized, and the support of the Bank has given support to the landed interest. The cultiva tion of the Landes has commenced. In Public Works, the most important results are 1,330 kilometres of railway, thrown open in 1857 to traffic, and 2,600 kilometres of new lines granted for construction ; the floating-dock of St. Nazaire, and the canal from Caen to the sea thrown open to navigation ; careful surveys made to prevent the scourge of inundations • improvements of our ports, and among others of Havre, Marseilles, Toulon, and Bayonae ; in the north and in the east of France the working of new coal mines ; at Paris the inauguration of the Louvre aryl of a wing at Vincennes ; finally, in the capital, as at Lyons, quarters thrown open for the first time since cen turies to the light of day, and throughout France religious edifices are being constructed or re stored. Public in traction, protected by the State, is being developed by the side of free education honourably protected. The number of co:legesh.,s been increased by 1,500. Education has become more moral and religious, with a tendency r °wards . sound humanities and useful sciences. The Cillege of France has been reorganized ; elementary in struction is spreading far. It is the wish of the Government that the prin ciple of freedom of worship shall be sincerely ad mitted, without forgetting that the Roman Catholic religion is that of the great majority of Frenchmen. Therefore, this religion has never been more re spected nor more unshackled. The Municipal Councils meet without hindrance, and the Bisiops enjoy the full plenitude of their sacred office. The Lutheran, Protestant, and Jew i,ll confessions pay their just proportion of taxes to the State, and are equally protected. The increase in the price of all necessaries has compelled us since last year to augment the salaries of the lesser functionaries ; the rations of the soldiers have been improved and the pay of sub alterns increased. The bud et of 1859 provides for better payment for teachers and professors, and for magistrates. I may point out an increase of chat itable societies —in the country those of the medical corporation, and in the towns the establishment of soup-kitchens. One million has been distributed in relief of the populations which have suffered must from want of work. The budget of 1859 which will be laid before you will show a balance in favour of receipt, and the action of the sinking fund can be renewed. On the close of ace ,uuts a reduction of the floating debt was assured. Commerce recently suffer. d check, but the firm position - it took up in the midst of what may be termed a universal crisis is, in the eyes of all, an honour for France, and justifies the eccnomical principles advised by the Government in matters of commerce, finance, and credit. The increase of direct and indirect revenue during the past year was 30 millions of francs._ Ain - o - eg tice various bills which will be submitted to you of general interest I may mention a law on patents, a now military and naval code, a proposal to employ the 20,000,000 f. remaining from the loans on works to guard the towns against inun dations. Algeria connected with France by the electric wire has afforded new glory to our troops by the submission of Kabylia. That expedition, skilfully planned and vigorously executed, has completed our domination. The army, which has no more enemies to overcame, will have to struggle against new difficulties in constructing railways so neces sary for the dovelupment of the prosperity of our colony. In France, the army will find in the Camp of Chalons a grand school which will keep up the military spirit and standard at the high level it has attained. The Emperor Napoleon bequeathed to his ancient companions in glory his private and other property. Under the Restoration it was absorb d by the State. It is to carry out in some measure that pious legacy that you, on the one band, voted an annual sum of 80)00,000f. for old soldiers, nevertheles., I wished that a medal should rt mind all wl,o had served in our armies of their former leaders. More than 300,000 men in France and abroad have applied for this medal in remembrance of the Imperial epoch, and on receiving it they might exclaim with pride, "I also belonged to the Grand Army"—words which at Austerlitz the Emperor had reason to point out to them as the advent title of nobility. Our navy is occupied in its arsenals with those necessary changes which will enable it to maintain the honour of our flag on every sea. In China it is acting in concert with the English fleet to ob tain redress for common grievances, and to avenge the blood of our missionaries who have been cruelly massacred. The relations of France with foreign Powers were never on a better footing. Our ancient allies, true to the sentiments which sprung from a com mon cause, give us the same confidence as usual ; and our new allies, by their straightforward and loyal conduct in all great questions, make us almost regret that we were ever their foes. I Was enabled to be convinced at Osborne, as well as at Stuttgart, that my desire to keep up the intimacy of old relations, as well as to form new ones, was equally shared by the chiefs of two great empires. it the policy of France is appreciated as it de serves to be in Europe, it is because we have the common sense Only to deal with questions which concern ourselves directly, either as a nation or a great European Power. This is why I avoided in terfering iu the question of the Duchies which now agitates Germany, for that question, which is exclu sively a German one, will remain so long as the integrity of Denmark is not threatened. of a lf, on the other hand, I took up the Neuchatelsked question it is because the King o f Prussia asked for my boas offices, and I was happy occa sion to contribute to the final settlement onthis difference which might have become dangerous for the peace of Europe. As regards the Prin ci p alities, as tonishment has been expressed at ou r disa g reement with many of our allies. The fact is , t ha t F rance, in her dis interested policy, has always advocated, in so m uc h as treaties allowed her, the wishes of the popula tions which appealed to her. Nevertheless, the conferences Which will shortly open at Paris will show in what conciliating spirit we work t o atte nuate thetifficulties which are inseparable from a difference of opinion. Such, gentlemen, is the resu me o f our position ; I might end my address of anew but I thi n k it use f u l , a l na t iisueonwlyithweylol l a new Le g i s l a t ure , t o ex at the chni t ne ntetut nt 1-de what ned causes distinctly f ormu l a t e d we are and wh a t we d es i re . that create profound convictions. It is only standards boldly unfurled which inspire sincere devotic n. What is the Empire ? Is it a retrograde Govern ment, an enemy of progress, desirous of suppressing generous impulses and of impeding the pacific extension of the great and civilising principles of 1789 ? No ; the Empire inscribes these principles as the motto of its constitution. It frankly adopts every thing of a nature to ennoble the heart or exalt the ; mind for what is good ; but it is also the enemy of every abstract theory. It seeks a strong power, 6 capable of overcoming the obetaeles which might stop its advance, for—let us not forget it—the ad vance of every new Power is a long struggle. Moreover, there is a truth inscribed upon every page of the history of France and of England— namely, that liberty without obstacles is impossible as long as there exists in a country a faction which obstinately di sowns th e f un d amenta l b ases of the Government ; for then liberty, instead of enlight ening, controllin g' ameliorating, is nothing else in the hand s o f factions but a weapon of destruction. • Therefore, as I did not accept the power of the nation with a view : o acquire that ephemeral popu larity, the paltry prize of concessions exacted from weakness, but with a view one day to deserve the approbation of posterity by fo unding something lasting in France, I d o not fear to declare unto you to-day that the danger, no matter what is said to the contrary, does not exist in the exces sive prerogatives of power, but rather in tho absence of repressive laws. Thus, the last elections, despite their satisfactory result, offered in many localities a sad spectacle. Hostile parties took advantage m o e f it to create advantage in the country, and men had the boldness openly to declare themselves the enemies of the national institutions, deceived the electors by false promises, end, having gained their votes, thenspurned them with contempt. You will not allow a renewal of such a scandal, and you will compel (obliger) every elector to take an oath to the Cons itutiun before presenting him self as a candidate. As the quiet of the public mind ought to be the constant object of our efforts, you will assist me in finding the means to silence extreme and annoying oppositions. In fact, is it not too sad to behold in a quiet, prosperous country, which is respected in Europe, on the one hand, men crying down a Government to which they are indebted for the security which they enjoy, while others only take advantage of the free exercise of their political rights to under mine the existing institutions ? I welcome heartily, without inquiring into their antecedents, all those who recognise the national will. As regards the originators of disturbances and conspirators, let them understand that their day is gone by. I cannot conclude without alluding to the cri minal attempt which has just taken place. I thank Heaven for the visible protection with which it shielded the Empress and myself, and I deplore that sa many victims should be made when only one life was aimed at. Yet these plots bring their lessons with them. Firstly, they prove the weakness and impotence of the parties who have recourse to assassination and such desperate means ; secondly, that no awassi nation, even if succesdul, ever served the cause of those who hired the assassin. Neither those who slew Cegar nor those who assassinated Henry IV. derived any advantage from their crime. God sometimes allows the just to fall, but He never allows the cause of crime to triumph. These attempts, therefore, neither shake my security in the present nor my faith in the future. If I live the empire will live wi'h me, and if I should fall my very death would only tend to strengthen the empire, for the indignation of the people and of the army would be an additional support to the throne of my Eon. Let us, then, look confidewly towards the future ; let us at end calmly to our daily work for the welfare and greatness of our country. God protects France SPEECH OF TH , c KING OF DENMARK. On the 14th inst. the King of Denmark opened in person the session of the Supreme Council of the kingdom. His Majesty spoke as follows : "It is with pleaeure that we again behold our faith :ul Supreme Council assembled around us. " During the two years which have nearly elapsed since we; for the first time, opened in pereon the ratting of our Supreme Council, the development of the riches et our soil has made great progress. We may therefore hope that the embarrassments of the financial crisis which weigh at the present moment upon our country will only be temporary, and that the general welfare of the country will not be much affected. " We have seen with extreme regret that there exists in the Duchies of Hol..tein and Lsuenburg, as regards our Constitutional relations, an appreciation wLich could not fail to cause anxiety and excitement. The relations of those Duchies with the German Confederation necessarily brought our Government into negotiations with Prussia and Austria, after which the matter was referred to the Frankfort Diet. In these negotiations— all documents relating to which will be laid before the Supreme Council—it will be shown that, to come to an amicable arrangement, we were willing to make every concession compatible with our solicitude for the welfare of the Monarchy, and especially for the maintenance of its Constitutional relations, established after great efforts, "Among the Bills which will be brought before you there will be some for regulating and increfti+ieg the defensive force of the country. We trust that the Supreme Council will ackno sledge that due attention has been paid to our financial resources in these pro jects ; but, on the other band, we also hope, with full confidence, that the Supreme Council will not hesitate to tote the necessary grants for this object, and that it will admit that it is an imperious duty to guarantee to the country the indispensable means to defend, if neces sary, its honour and its independence. " The Supreme Council will have to examine a project for a new Customs' tariff, from which we expect great things and a considerable addition to our finances. " May the Almi g hty bless your deliberations and give success to your projects." His Majesty was loudly cheered. MARKET NEW 8.--{riffs Day.) HAY MARKETS.
