ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLocK. The Money Market presents an easier appearance. There is less demand for accommodation, and bankers and others appear disposed to make a slight concession in special cases where the paper is short- ,dated and of first-rate quality. The sum of £43,000 in gold was taken to the Bank on Saturday. The next steam er , th e T ar if a, f rom N ew Y ork, will bring about £600,000. A meeting took place to-day of the proprietors of the City of London Real Property Company. In the report presented by the directors a dividend is recommended at the rate of 7 per cent. for the Year, which will leave a balance of £4,033 to be carried forward. Two O'CLOCK. The French Routes, this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, were 62f. 40c. Panic continues. Austria has been the principal cause of consider able depression to-day in the market for stocks and shares. The intelligence has impressed speculators With the idea that the Government at Vienna is de termined to go to war, and, numerous sales being effected, prices have declined. Consols now are i per cent. lower than they were on Saturday after noon, being 851 a for money and account. A sym pathetic effect has been experienced with regard to the New Threes, Reduced Annuities, and Indian Securities.

LIABILITY or SIIAREIIOLDERS.—SeveraI of last week's papers contain remarks upon Vice-Chan cellor Wood's judgment in the caso of the Anglesea Col liery Company, 14 W. It. 708, showing the most total mis apprehension of the nature of that decision. It is not the case, as there represented, that the Vice-Chancellor has held that the holders of fully paid-up shares are liable to further calls, but that the holders of shares not fully paid are liable to calls made for the sole purpcEe of adjusting the equities between them and the fully paid-up share holders, and that these latter are "contributories?' for that purpose 7 -that is, for the purpose of receiving tho proileas Of, not of vyipts, t 1,4 ck;11. 91 06 26 28 111 1171 1 94 924 61 62 125 126 14 2 i 6 1 1 85 90 124 121 03 I 5 54 C 6 4 26 107 109 70 ;2 107 109 35i 36i 10 11 p 120 122 1 2p 1 2p 73 73 108 112 148 150 65 67 46 19 71 71 7 8 140 143 1 3 ), 100 103 52 54 ESSIONS, 64 56 100 102 id ip 4i 4} ti 76 80 60 65 100 102 100 102 1013 102 20 22 85 87 60 63 55 6 ► 55 57 50 55 42 45 42 45 27 30 108 titi) 1j 2 1j 2 P 9 101 91 93 141 15} 5i 5 d 91 26 1 83 i 5 li 01" 100 112 90 02 86 88 61 63 81 $2 98 100 97 99 f 97 99 fT SECUR. 92 94 90 93 90 93 77 79 76 79 102 )04 162 101 102 104 102 104 86 8) 100 102 105 1 7 102 IC4 103 105 101 103 104 106 90 101 90 93 92 9.1 90 95 8i 88 91 98 72 75 96 99 98 100 101 106 100 102 YOSS: TIIE SUN, MARKETS.—This Day. o- MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was quiet. Good and fine qualities were chiefly in demand, and these changed bands at full prices. Inferior parcels ruled stationary in value. For spring corn, the markets, though quiet, were steady. Flour was in limited request on former terms. On the Continent the corn trade is generally quiet, at about stationary prices. At Now York, prices have grown easy, but at the decline, rather an increased amount of business had been transacted. There was an improved demand for East India linseeJ, and rather higher prices were obtained. Rape and oil seeds, however, were a dull enquiry, at barely late rates. For agricultural seeds tbetrade ruled quiet, at about last Monday's currency. . Cakes sold heavily and prices declined to the extent o: 2s. 6d. per ton. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports fr0:4.1 abroad consisted of 29,402 qrs. of wheat, 4,446 barley, 37,548 oats, 975 rye, 85 beans, 3,495 peas, 4,418 linseed, 6,252 rape and oilseeds, 2,950 maize, and 4,111 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day rather a limited supply of wheat was received both from Essex and Kent. The condition of the produce, however, was good. The de mand for all qualities was in a sluggish state, yet no change took place in prices from Monday last. With foreign wheat the market was moderately sup plied. A limited business was transacted in all descrip tions, at the prices current this clay se'nnight. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request at last Monday's currency. There was a scanty supply of English barley on offer, but the show of foreign produce was good. The trade for all descriptions ruled quiet on former terms. Malt was in limited request at late rates. The supply of oats on sale was large. The trade was dull, and prices were rather lower than on Monday last. American oats sold as low as 18s. 9d. per quarter. Beaus were in short supply, and the trade ruled firm at 731 I full currencies, 117 1 6; 17 60 a 1251 1221 3 Peas were in short supply, and the trade was steady a late rates. In flour a moderate business was transacted on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASVRE.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day. Sales progressed slowly, and prices had a drooping tendency. There were some remarkably good French beasts on sale. From our own grazing districts the arrival of beasts fresh up this morning were only moderate, and in middling condition when compared with several previous weeks. A few grass-fed boasts were brought forward. All breds met a slow inquiry, and, in some instances, the quotations were rather lower than on this day se'nnight. A few very superior Scots and crosses realised 5s 4d, but the general top figure was 5s 2d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,100 Scots, short-horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, including 30 from Lincolnshire, 430 various breeds ; from Scotland, 49 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 20 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep, as to number, was only moderate, but the quality of most breeds was good. The demand was heavy, and the currencies gave way 2d per 81bs. ,The best Downs and half-breds sold at 5s 10d per 81bs. Lambs were in fair average supply and sluggish request at from Gs 8d to 8s per Blbs. Calves met a dull inquiry on former terms—viz., from 5s 4d to 6s 4d per 81bs.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Banco, before Lord Chief. Justice Cockburn. and Justices Mellor, Blackburn, and Shoe.) PARR Y. ELLY. Mr. Huddlestone, Q.C., on the part of the plaintiff, moved for a rule that a portion Of the issue in this case should be struck out of the declaration, so that a verdict might be entered on his behalf. The case was heard be-- fore Mr. Justice Lush, last Friday. It was an action by the plaintiff, a well-known trahler, against tho proprietors of the Daily Telegraph, for libel, to which a plea of not guilty was placed on the record. The following is the extract from the article in 'the Daily Tele graph on which the action was founded :—" Redan is a horse whose merits have not been duly appreciated by either the public or the backers of the horse. H e is indeed, one of the most compact, neatest, and racing looking Derby colts we have seen this last season. Being such a stayer to look at, he is sure to be there or thereabouts on the Derby Day if ho does well through the winter months. During the summer months he ran with varied success, and there is more than reason to suspect that he was never half-trained, and that Parr's Pills and Telscombe cooking have prevented Lord St. Vincent from landing several handsome stakes." The jury found that there was no imputation of fraud in the article, and that it merely attributed negligence to the plaintiff. A verdict was then found for the defendant for 40 shillings, with leave to move to amend or to enter a verdict non veredecto obstanto, which did not improve his situation, as it did not exempt him from. the costs he had incurred. The learned counsel said that the concluding passage was an innuendo, and imputed fraud and incompetency to his client. If that innuendo were now struck out altogether it would give his client a verdict, and he contended that such a course would be in conformity with the Common Law Procedure Act, some sections of which he cited. • , Mr. Justice Blackburn said that, under any circumstances, the plaintiff would have to pay the costs, and he did not see how he would be bettered by the granting of this ap plication. - Mr. Justice Shee was decidedly of opinion that the inuendo, being placed in issue, it could not be withdrawn. The L6rdChief Justice, at the conclusion of the learned counsel's address, said that the Court could not possibly grant the rule applied for. At the same time he must say that if he had been on the jury he would have found that the article did clearly impute fraud to the plaintiff in regard to - the horse in question. But the construction to be put on written matter, which was alleged to contain a libel, came within the jurisdiction of the jury, and the court would exercise the greatest caution in dealing with any such construction. This was not a case in which there was a conflict of evidence which would bring it within the sphere of of the court. In the present case he thought the court should not dissent from its ordinary practice, more especially as the finding of the jury was to relieve the plaintiff from any imputation of fraud. The court would grant a rule for a verdict non veredecto obstante. The rule was made accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. HORSE HAIR SHEETS FOR PAUPERS—A SOVEREIGN REMEDY.—William Flanders, apparently a strong healthy young man, was charged with the offence of wilfully destroying the whole of his clothing, whereby the parish of St. Luke's, Chelsea, was put to the cost of finding him fresh apparel. M'Lackney, porter at :St. Luke's workhouse, Chelsea, said that the defendant applied for a night's lodging on Saturday and was admitted. At half-past seven in the morning ho gave the defendant his breakfast, and left him in the casual ward. On going there shortly afterwards ha found that defendant had torn up all his clothing, and was in'a perfect state of nakedness, having even destroyed his shirt. Mr. Selfe—llave you got any horse-hair sheets in St. Luke's workhouse ? Porter—Not that I am aware of, your worship. Defendant—l tore my clothing up because it was so dirty, and I wanted freSh. Mr. Selfe—A gentleman I know recommends horse-hair sheets in particular cases. They are extremely healthy, durable, and warm, and are not easily destroyed. It may be worth the Chelsea Guardians' while to consider the advantages of horse-hair sheets. Defendant was committed for 14 days. }bad of stock on sale. Total supply. _ _ Foreign supply.

EXPOSING DISGRACEFUL PHOTOGRAPHS AT TILE ALHAMBRA PALACE.—A tall, well-dressed man, who refused his name and address, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt wit. l l ex posing indecent photographs at the Alhambra Palace. Sergeant William Clark, 8 A, said - On Saturday night about half-past 11 I was on duty in the Alhambra Palace, when my attention was called to the prisoner, who I was informei was exposing indecent photographs. . I watched the prisoner, and saw him show some prints to ,a young .gentleman sitting at the side of Mal t As soon a; the pri-_ Bonet saw me he left the young gentleman. T then called the attention of one of the constables of the place to the prisoner, and requested him to speak to the young gentleman. I then stopped the prisoner, who was, leaving the building, and asked what ho had about him. He said "Nothing." I told him that I believed he had some in decent prints about him, and he said he was sure he had not. I then turned round to look for the young gentle man the prisoner had been speaking to, and while doing so the prisoner evaded me and ran to ono of the windows, and threw something out. I sent a constable to see what it was, and ho afterwards handed me this pocket-book. The pocket-book contained 32 indecent photographs, and in the prisoner's coat pocket another print was found. I then took the prisoner to the station. The photographs, which were of a most disgusting cha racter, were handed to the magistrate. John Sutton, employed at the Alhambra (after giving somewhat similar evidence to the Sergeant) said—l was spoken to by the Sergeant, and also by two young gen tlemen, who said the prisoner had been showing them in decent prints. I afterwards saw the prisoner take some thing out of his pocket and throw it out of the window. I saw the constable return with a pocket-book and give it, to the sergeant. By the prisoner—The two young gentlemen left their names at the station, but not the one that was sitting next to the prisoner; but the sergeant thinks he can find him. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did the young gentlemen complain of the prisoner ? Witness—They did. They said they saw the prisoner exposing indecent prints. Prisoner—Why are they not here ? Witness —I cannot say. Prisoner—They ought to be here in such a serious case; not that their evidence is worth anything. Mr. Tyrwhitt —lf it is not worth anything, then why do you wish them to attend ? Prisoner—lt is necessary they should attend. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l will remand you for a week, and the young gentlemen can attend. THAMES. ATROCIOUS ASSAULT.-A WOMAN UNSEXING IMMIX - - . -- —Mary Ann White, a tall, masculine woman, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting Mr. George Galloway, licensed victualler. The complainant stated that on Saturday night the pri soner followed a sailor into his house. She belonged to a class called " basket girls," the most disorderly women and the greatest thieves in the district. He would not allow any of them to enter his house, and he never sup plied them with anything on any pretence whatever. The prisoner had been most specially forbidden to enter his house. Her object in following the sailor into his house. on Saturday night was to rob. him. Ho ordered her to leave his house immediately, which she refused to— do, and uttered' the most--'obscene :lan guage ,- and threats. He never heard such offensive language in. his life before. She made a violent attack on him, declared she would ruin him, and inflicted a serious kick, which put him to great pain and inconvenience. He gave the prisoner into custody. He wished the basket girls to be kept away from his house. No one was safe In their company. Mr. Paget desired Roche, the gaoler of the court, to exa mine the complainant, and, after he had done so, he was sworn, and said there was a black bruise on the upper part of Mr. Galloway's thigh, near the groin. It was evidently done by a kick with a boot. Police-sergeant Davey, No. 5 IC, stated that the prisoner was a violent woman, and had been imprisoned for six months for assaulting the landlady of a publio-house, and one month for an assault on a policeman. She belonged to a desperate and lawless olass—the "basket girls"—who, under the pretence of selling oranges and fruit, had robbed and illused many sailors. Mr. Paget said he had made up his mind in all cases of this description to commit the offender for trial, or to inflict the most severe punishment in his power. He saw no reason to alter his resolution, although the culprit was a woman. She had committed an assault of a dangerous nature on a respectable tradesman, and the sentence was that she be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. Liverpool Cotton Market. —TLis Day.

The following infor mation is gleaned from the New York papers. On April 14 the Spanish fleet raised the blockade of Valparaiso, and sailed from that port. The Ame rican squadron, under Commodore Rogers, followed. On April 25 the ships anchored off Callao. On the morning of that day the English mail steamer from Valparaiso reached the port, and bore irews that the hostile fleet was approaching, a few hours only before the Spanish vessels came to anchor. This was the first intelligence received in Callao of the movement. Great alarm was manfested by the inhabitants until it became plain that the attack was not to be-an immediate one. On the morning of the 26th of April, Admiral Nunez gave formal notice to the authorities of Callao of his intention to attack the city, and that four days would be allowed for the removal of non-combatants and foreigners. Great activity was shown by the Peruvians in removing private property dur ing this interval ; pat equally strenuous efforts were made to raise new and to perfect existing for tifications, in order that the place, which is fortified, might be defended to the utmott. Earthworks were rapidly thrown up, and torpedo boats were prepared for use if they might be available. The Ist of May being foggy, the attack was postponed, but on the 2d the shore batteries commenced firing. The fire was returned by the Spaniards from the Berenguela, Villa de Madrid, and Blanca, lying on the northern side of the port ; and the Nu mancia, Resolution, and Almanza on the south. The Villa de Madrid and Berenzuela were so badly damaged early in the fight that they were obliged to withdraw to San Lorenzo. They •were after wards followed by the Numancia, and the rest of the fleet more or less damaged. The fight lasted till 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Nothing reliable is known of the exact number of killed and wounded on either side. Battery No. 3 was blown up. The Peruvian Secretary of War, Senor Galvez, was in it at the time, and was thus killed. The wounded on shore, as fast as they fell, were carried to the rear, and sent to the hospital at Bellavista. Those whose friends resided at Lima were sent to them in the city. It was reported that the Peruvians had lost 60 killed and about 170 wounded. Nothing is known as to the loss on board the Spanish fleet, but injured as their ships were the number of casualties are probably very heavy. Admiral Nunez is reported to have received eight wounds and contusions— one on the head is pronounced to be severe. The American surgeons, who offered theirservices to both parties alike, were not allowed to see the Spanish Admiral. One shot that disabled the steam-pipe of the Villa de Madrid killed 18 men, and wounded 21. Dr. Peck, of the United States steamer Vanderbilt, when he went alongside the Villa de Madrid, counted eight shot holes in her sides. The Blanca was struck over forty times, and the Almanza and Berenzuera suffered almost as much. The Resolu tion was hit often—possibly as many times as the others. The ironclad Numancia came off very well; but one eight-inch rifled projectile from battery No. 5 pierced her five-and-a -half inch iron plating, and went partly through the wooden backing. She was brought so as to re ceive the fire at an angle, hence her plating caused the shot to glance. The Vencedora was uninjured. At the conclusion of the engage ment the ships: resumed! their old position, and commenced repairing. The future movements of the Spanish fleet are not known, but it is presumed it will return to Spain if possible. The Peruvian war vessels Huasear and Independencia were ex pected at Callao, Emigration to America. The Reader says the United States receive an nually from Europe an enormous tribute in two kinds, men and money. Mr. Carlyle has calculated that a live European man with his five fingers must be worth more than a horse. He probably is worth a very great deal more to a country which can pro vide him with labour. But no emigrant comes empty handed like a dumb animal. Amongst the poorest class of immigrants the average sum which each man brings is £l3 12s. Amongst the higher class it has been estimated at £B6. We must, however, reduce this sum considerably in practice, because enormous amounts are remitted by the immigrants to their friends in Europe, to enable them to follow their example. The money therefore brought by each settler has not unfrequently been derived im mediately from thevery country to which he returns it. But if we were to reckon that every able bodied man brought nothing but himself, like Aloses on his return from the fair, the value of the 200,000 or 300,000 annual immigrants would not be sensibly diminished ; for America can set them to work, as soon as ever they arrive, on the most profitable of all occupations, in a country where the soil is untouched and the means of communication unlimited. Not quite one-third of the vast territory of the Republic, in size somewhat larger than Europe, has hitherto been surveyed, and " seven eighths of the entire population are engaged in agri cultural pursuits, or in the various professions and trades materially dependent thereupon."

There is no longer any question as to the charac ter of what was at first called the negro riots at Memphis. They were negro riots in the same sense in which the outbreak in July, 1863, in New York, , was a negro riot—that is, the negroes were the vic tims of both. Just what disturbance occasioned the conflict in Memphis will not probably be known, nor is it of much consequence. But it is plain from all accounts that a disturbance, originally trifling, was made the pretext for a general assault upon the negro population of the city, which was continued for two days and nights. In this assault, the police, the firenien, and city authoritieS and the unorganised mob acted in concert, and were animated with the single purpose to do the greatest amount of damage to the negro population, and to their dwellings, and churches, and school-houses. The atrocities of the mob were not unworthy of its great New York prototype, which was, perhaps, the most savage yet heard of in a civilised city. Most of the negroes who were shot were butchered on the second day, when there was no longer' any resistance, and when the negroes were seeking safety •in concealment and flight. We select a few specimens of the pleasantries in which the mob indulged. "Robert 'Tone's, (coloured) has just come in from the country, and was standing on the corner of Beal and Causey-streets, in the forenoon. Amara, appearing to be a policeman, toot his pistol and $29 in • money, and as he turned to leave thrust a knffe into his back, 'under the shoulder-blade. Another, standing by, known to be a policeman, made no arrest of the robber." • Which shows that the police, unlike our police in 1863, were on the side of the mob. • "A n egro was shot in the knee near the corner of Howard's -row and the levee. This was done by a well known individual for- the sake of amusement, and was laughed at by the citizens who saw it." 'The individual is SO well known that the paper from which.we quote doeknot think it worth while, or does not dare, to give hiS imme. But these in stances are nothing to the elaborate ingenuity of other cruelties. • "A large number of houses in South Memphis, occupied by the blacks, and some in other parts of the city, were burned. No effort Was made.to stay the •flames. In ono case four negroes were fastened up in a honse, and the hOuse set on fire." "A coloured man on Alabama-street informs us that his house was broken into and about two hundred dollars in money taken, and he beaten over the head; and the same party broke into his neighbour's house, killed him, locked the wife and children in the house, set it on fire, andburned it down." That is almost as good as burning a Coloured Orphan ASylum. " A house near Mr. Rankin's school-house, which was burnt on Tuesday, was fired during the night. A coloured girl, 17 years of age, named Rachel Hatchell, who had been a' scholar at Mr. Rankin's, was sick in this house, and on running out was knocked down, shot, and thrown into the fire. Her body lay in the ashes yesterday morn ing, burnt to a crisp, excepting her head and shoulders. Some one had kindly thrown a shawl over this horrid spectacle." The reign of terror was complete throughout the city, and the violence or threats of the mob ex tended beyond the negroes and reached to all who were their friends. "Loud and repeated threats were made by the rioters that-when they had destroyed the coloured school-houses they would kill the teachers. The threats were so violent, and the riotors having shown themielves capable of any brutality, it was deemed prudent that they should go North. They all left for Cairo on the St. Louis packet. Many of the officers on duty here sent their wives away with these ladies." What destruction was actually wrought on the property of the negroes themselves is thus summed up : - - - " The riot was kept up all Wednesday night. Crowds of armed citizens were gathered at the corners. Many were half drunk. The great feat of the roughs was the burning of the coloured school-houses, churches, and homes. They seemed to have acted in concert, and to have carried out a programme which had been previously arranged. This Is shown by the clean sweep which was made of every building used for a coloured-school or place of worship by the coloured people, but most strongly by the conduct of the rioters on the burning of th 9 Collins Chapel. This coloured church stands on Washington stre,A, and cost $7,000." The extracts which we have given are from The Memphis post, a paper which the Copperheads may discredit becank:e it is loyal. They are abundantly confirmed by the tzdmis,sions ande4pologies of the Rebel sheets. The _Wean says:— " The testimony in regard io all these particulars is most conflicting, but all agree in one • thing, that those who en gaged in the riot were persons of irresponsible character, and it will be unfair to charge these untoward disturb ances to the good, law-abiding citizens of the city of Memphis." Which is equivalent to saying, We have no de fence to offer for the mob except that we did not belong to it. The Avalanche far more explicitly declares : "The rioter who claimed to belong to the 'ls4' sought to shield himself from the culpability bahind the fair name of an honourable body of men ; and had he been a member, he would have esteemed its fame too highly to confess con- nection with a mob guilty of so many excesses." "We have heard many ex-soldiers of the South declare that they would prefer a military administration of muni cipal authority to that which disgraces the city and Sti3te, and by its utter' incapacity, gross mismanagement, and prejudices of its agents, has brought upon Memphis last ing evils. The true romedy for all misfortunes, now contemplated, consists in the reformation of the city, char• ter." We might continue both quotations and com ments to any extent, but we leave the case to the jury on a fraction of the evidence, and without any argument at all. Against the City of Memphis the verdict will be guilty of murder and arson without any effort by any organised authority to prevent or to punish either crime.--New York Tri- bane. America a Match for Napoleon. Cornelius O'Dowd, a writer in Blackwood, who entertains no great affection for America, is yet de !ighted with the Mexican situation. He says A. more insufferable piece of insolent pretension cannot be imagined than is what is called the Mon roe Doctrine. That my next door neighbour should not live in a certain style lest servants in my house should become dissatisfied, is too gross an absurdity to be entertained. That whatever rules I prescribe for my family, should be adopted by every one who resides in the same street, is somewhat overbearing ; and yet, with ali this, I declare lam all for the Yankees in this row; It is not the justice of the ease I want to think of. It is not whether France has right on her side, and whether this demand to retire be one of those mandates a high spirited nation cannot submitto 3 ray whole consideration is limited to the fact—here, at last, the great bully of Europe has met his match ! Here is a• young, ath letic, daring fellow ready to go into the ring with that finished pugilist that none of us have the courage to fight, and who, even with the gloves on, doubles us up in a. fashion very far from agreeable. ,America dares to hold language to France that all Earope combined would not utter. There's no denying k; I there's no qualifying it. If we had a continental coalition to-morrow, we could not venture to say what America has just said. What Minister of Russia, or England, or Austria would say to the French Emperor—" We were thinking of something else when you slipped into the Savoy and the Nice the other day ; now that our hands are free you will have to go back again." We are famous f oryone brave words in our Foreign-office, but suspect that such a message as provoke the from Whitehall ? We would nohnio than w e would Tuileries by an insolent deshp:tcages rievidlr ever issue go into one of Van Arnburgf 'E this and kick the European superstition lion..

Re gard them in this light, and say, if a war should break out between them and France, what side would you like to back. I say, America.
