CONEY' MARK'ET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLocK. There has been steady demand for discount ae nou'lmodation at the quotations current during the last few days. The movements of the precious metals during the past week have been on a moderate scale. The I mports have amounte d to a b out £ 218, 4 18, c hi e fl y f r°l.ll New York and A us t ra li a , w hil e th e ex p or ts have been to the extent of £320,153, a large Proportion of which has been despatched to the Continent.

It may also be added tha t agitati on produced by the Reform Bill, objec tionable to many vested interests, contributes to the Prevailing depression. Consols are, th ere f ore , muc h un der thei r legiti -late value, and there is a strong impression that ialportant fluctuation will ensue. Among city people the Conservative speeches have been exten sively discussed, and the views expressed are justly ka kita g o nistic to the p r o gr amme set out by the so called Liberal party. Consols are 'B7 4. for money, and 87i 4. for the account.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). COURT OF' QUEEN'S BENCH. :Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Mr. Justice Black- bury, Mr. Justice Shee, and Mr. Lush.) ALDRIDGE V. WHITING.-CURIOUS POINT. In this case th,!: plaintiff, on behalf of the Mayor and Corporation of Portsmouth, laid an information against the defendant, a coal-merchant, who was fined 40s. for an alleged infringement of the bye laws of the corporation. The defendant appealed against the decision, and the case now came before their lordships for argument, on a rule which he had obtained at the last term. It appeared that under the provisions of a statute, regulating the rights of corporate bodies, the corporation of Portsmouth had made certain bye-laws, imposing a charge for metage on eoal unshipped at the quay of the town. The de fendant had some coal which he purchased and brought from a vessel without paying this metage, which constituted the infringement of the bye- Laws. At the conclusion of the argument, their lord ships decided that the bye-law was too extensive in its operation to come within the meaning of the statute, and that the finding against defendant should be reversed. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Lefroy.) TIIE MODE OF PAYING BUILDERS' SALARIES.-A SINGULAR CASE.-A MODEL TEETOTALLER.-DRIS COLL v. NEWMAN AND ANOTHER. _ _ This was an action to recover 10s. for work done. Plaintiff said he was a labourer, and had worked for the defendants. He had in the week worked 44 hours, and his pay was 44d. per hour. He was entitled to 17s. 7d., and his money was given to him from the pay-window in an envelope. When he examined the contents of the envelope he found that there was only 7s. 7d. in it. He applied for the 10s., but defendants refused to pay it. His Honour—What do you say to this, defen dants ? One of the defendants said that he had put the 'ull amount in the envelope. _ _ _ Plaintiff—There were other men complained that they were short paid, and defendants settled with them, but made me stand back. Defendant—That was so, but I may perhaps be allowed to explain. When we pay the men we notify to them that they must examine their money before leaving the pay-window, as mistakes cannot be rectified afterwards. I may add that the day on which the men were paid was St. Patrick's-day, and the men left at 9 in the morning and did not return until 1 o'clock in the day. When they did come in they were intoxicated. His Honour—Was the plaintiff intoxicated ? Defendant—He was. His Honour—Do you hear that, plaintiff ? Plaintiff—lt is quite against my principle to get intoxicated. lam a teetotaller. _ _ _ His Honour—This was St. Patrick's-day. Plaintiff—Well, I did not drink anything but half-a-pint of six ale and part of two pots of beer. (Laughter.) His Honour—Well, I should have thought that this was rather against your principles as a tee totaller. Plaintiff— I did not drink any spirits. Defendant— lie left the premises before he made any complaint. Plaintiff—l deny it. Directly I found out that my money was short, I went back. His Honour—Was plaintiff discharged? Defendant----Oh ! dear, no. He could have gone to work the next day if he had liked. His Honour said that plaintiff appeared to give his evidence like an honest man. He had been in the service of the defendants for some little time, and the court could not in this case impute perjury to him. He would have a verdict with costs. Verdict for plaintiff. POLICE IN Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. LADY OMNIBUS THIEVES.—Two well-dressed women, named Mary Jones and Elizabeth Wilson, both stated to reside at• the east end of the town, and known to the police as omnibus thieves, were charged before Mr. Knox as sus pected persons, loitering in Oxford-street for the purpose of committing a felony. Sergeant Coles, C division, said that on the previous afternoon he saw the prisoner and another woman not in custody in Oxford-street, and knowing the prisoners as thieves, ho followed and watched, and saw "Wilson with her left hand, glove off, trying a lady's pocket. The pri soner and the other woman, observing him, got into a Citizen omnibus at different places in Oxford-street. Ile told the conductor what sort of person ho had inside. About an hour afterwards he saw the prisoner and the other woman again in Oxford-street, and watched them, and saw Wilson put her hand into the pocket side of a lady's dress. The prisoners and their companion again observing him walked a little way, and then all stood together for a short time and then hailed an omnibus going towards the City. He followed the omnibus till it got to the corner of the Tottenham-court-road, and having got the assistance of another constable took the prisoners into custody. Mr. Knox asked the sergeant what he knew of the prisoners and the other woman ? Sergeant Cole said that Jones had been in custody at that court and the Mansion-house, and he believed had also been at Clerkenwell, and Wilson had been sentenced to three months' imprisonment at that court. He knew the prisoners also to bo regular omnibus thieves, and upon each of them he found a sharp-pointed knife used by omnibus thieves. The other woman he did not know. The prisoners made no defence. Mr. Knox committed them for three months' hard la bour each. ELECTION COMMITTEES—This Day. NEW WINDSOR. The evidence taken this morning in this com mittee referred to the subscriptions that had been made to the Odd Fellows' Lodge and the sick fund in Mr. Cooper's establishment in Windsor by Sir H. Hoare, with a view of showing that the money was paid for the purpose of influencing the votes of the members. MARKETS.---This Day. COVENT GARDEN.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS, REFORMATORIES, AND CRIM E. — A very respectable-looking, middle-aged man entreated the magistrate to assist him under circumstances of a very painful nature. Applicant stated that he had a daughter who was a source of great anxiety and trouble. She was commonly addicted to pilfering and telling the falsehoods necessary to conceal her dishonesty. As all endeavours to check this by parental authority had been found fruitless, he was most anxious to get her into some institution by which she might be reclaimed. The clerk observed that applicant had been here a few days ago to ask advice upon the subject, and had been re ferred to the Rev. Sidney Turner, Government Inspector of Reformatories. Applicant said ho had been to his offices in Parliament street, and was informed that he could not assist him. He wished to get his daughter into an industrial school. Mr. Selfo—What is her ago ? Applicant—Between 14 and 15. Mr. Self's—Then she is too old for an industrial school. Applicant—Then what am I to do with her ? Mr. Selfe—l am sure I cannot advise you. Applicant—lf sho is too old for an industrial schoo' cannot I get her into a reformatory? Mr. Selie—Has your daughter been convicted of any offence ? Applicant—She has not. I wish to prevent that if I can. Mr. Selfe—Then I cannot assist you, as she has not been convicted. There is no mode of sending her to a reformatory unless she has boon convicted. Applicant—What am I to do. Mr. Selfe—Chargo her when she commits any offence, and bring her hero, then, if committed, she may be sent to a reformatory. THAMES. DARING ROBBERY—A CO NV ICT'S STORY.—Thomas May nard, a young man, was brought beforo Mr. Paget charged with stealing a horse and cart and two cases contain ing six pictures, the property of Messrs. Tough and Jacobs, carmen, of Billiter-street, City. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution. On the Ist of December, 1863, the prosecutor's carman was despatched with a horse and cart and two cases of pictures to the St. Katherine-dock. The cases of paint ings, valued at £3O, were intended for exportation to the Cape of Good Hope. The carman stopped opposite the St. Katherine-dock-house, and went into the Long-room to obtain signatures to his delivery-note and other papers, and in his absence the horse and cart were driven away, but recovered the same evening in a distant suburb of the metropolis. The cases of pictures were gone. A man named Daniel Thomas was convicted of the robbery at the December Sessions in 1863, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude. A few weeks since the pictures were discovered by Smart, a City detective officer, in .the house of a noted receiver of stolen property, named Childs, in the Pentonville-road. Childs was subsequently arrested and was committed for trial from this court. Maynard was taken into custody a few days ago, and the principal evi dence against him was that of Daniel Thompson, who was brought from Chatham in his convict's dress. Ho said that Maynard drove the horse and cart away from the dock house to Commercial-street and Stepney-green, where the paintings were delivered to the confectioner, Child s . Thompson drove the horse and van part of the way. The convict's evidence was confirmed in several material parti culars, and Air. Paget ommittect the prioner for trial, BREAD.

The poor girl had never been bitten by any dog, but had often played with one belonging to her father, which was killed three weeks since in a rabid state. As she sometimes allowed the animal to lick her face at a time when she had a small sore on her lip the virus is supposed to have been thus communicated to her.

Whatman and Lee, and contended they had entered into the contested election with the purest determination, and hat the evidence of Cham bers was entirely and thoroughly false, and there fore unworthy of belief. RYE. The principal point in the examination of the witnesses in this committee was the examination of Mrs. Satherden, the wife of an elector, who it was said had received £5O fur his vote. She altogether denied the fact, and said that a relative of hers who had made the statement was a " use less," and a great trouble to the family. She did not mean that Heath was useless because he had no vote. James Heath was called. He lived at Rye, and remembered the month of May, prior to the election. He recollected Mr. and Mrs. Sutherden talking about getting some money. They said if they could not get it on one side they would on the other. Mrs. Sutherden made use of the observation. She said they would first write to Payne, and if they did not get it they would write to the other side. Fifty pounds was the sum talked about He took a note from Mrs. Sutherden to Mr. Robert Hoad. She always read to him;the contents of the note. On the evening of the day he took the note to Mr. Hoad. Mr. Sutherden came in, and Mrs. Suther den said if they could not get the money from the reds and the whites they could get it from the blues. Mrs. Sutherden always did the talking for her hus band. She wrote the next day to Mr. Payne. She said she had had parties who had been to Mr. Sutherden, and had offered him so much. The offer was £2O, and she wanted £5O. She said she should vote for Mackinnon if she could not get it from Payne. (Laughter.) He had previous to this promised to vote for M'Donald. He had also been to Mr. Atkins to see if he could settle the business of the Sutherdens. Mrs. Sutherden said they must have the money for the payment of the creditors. He recollected being asked to take a note to Mr. Holt in July last year, but he refused. There was a bill of sale made, but Mrs. Sutherden said that if the parties came for it she could split. He was in Sutherden's shop. Cross-examined by Mr. Keane—He was a manure agent, and had carried it on for six or seven years. He lodged with Mr. Sutherden, but he did not pay rent. He did not know how much his business yielded a year. He could not say how much of profit it yielded, not because it was so large, but .because it was so small. He had stated nothing but what was the fact ; he had not coloured the matter. She said Mr. Robert Hoad told her she must have a bill of sale, and that she could put down what she liked. He could not swear how long this was before the election. She told me she'd split if they ever came for the bill of sale. He knew they had the £5O, but he did not see them get it, but they told him they had the money. 'The money was given for the vote. Mr. Robert load carried the money to Mr. Sutherden in the shop. Ile was not present when this occurred, but Mrs. Sutherden told him so. She said Mr. Sutherden shall vote for Mackinnon. By the Chairman—He was not a voter, and had had no quarrel with Mrs. Sutherden. No definite result in either of the above commit tees was arrived at when the hour of adjournment arrived. Mr. Johnson and the Civil Rights Bill. The Times, in commenting on the passage of the Civil Rights Bill over the President's veto, says that the anxiety of the American public and of the world will be directed to the action of the President. Mr. Johnson is the elected of the people as much as Congress is ; he is the Chief of the Executive, or rather he comprises the Executive in himself ; he is immovable for nearly three years longer, and during that time he has complete comman of the military force by which alone the Civil Rights Act can be enforced. Except by impeachment Congress cannot effectually control him in any course which is within the limits of his authority. He knows this, and he also knows how far he may venture on using his powers negatively to prevent the enforcement of the Act. it may be that the President has not public opinion at the North so much on his side as is believed by some of his friends. Though the Atlantic cities are, for the most part, enthusiastic in his favour, yet through out the States, and notably in the West, the Re publican party is most powerful, and is likely to remain so. There is probably a steady set of the tide in favour of the President, but it will take time for this movement to bring to his side a clear majority of the people, and to enable him to with stand the action of Congress. We may then watch his proceedings with interest, and observe how far he aids or permits the action of the machinery which this Act will shortly establish in every Southern State. It must be remembered that the Act will give the District Courts of the United States exclusive cognizance of all offences eommitted against its provisions, and concurrent jurisdiction with the Circuit Courts of the United States in all civil and criminal cases affecting negroes who are denied their new rights in the Courts of the State. According to President Johnson's interpretation of the measure, " Members of a State Legislature who should vote for laws conflicting with the provisions of the Bill, Judges of the State Court who should render judgments in antagonism with its terms, and Marshals and Sheriffs who should execute pro cesses sanctioned by State laws, and issued by State Judges in execution of their judgments, could be brought before other tribunals, and there sub jected to fine and imprip.onment, for the perform ance of the duties which such State laws might impose." We may assume that Mr. Johnson will, as Chief of the Executive, give as little assistance as he can to a law which thus invades the judicial power of every Southern State. Yet, on the other hand, he may not think it constitutional to nullify such a law by any overt act. His course most likely will be to leave those who have made the law to population, enfor co and t o hold it, if they can, idh against the will of the naself neutral in disputes which are not of his making. We understand that her Majesty has been gra ciously pleased to place Bushey Park (formerly the resi dence of Queen Adelaide) at the disposal of his Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours and family.

MACREADY AND THE MURDERER. —At a re hearsal of the banquet scene in. 6 6 Macbeth," the "first murderer," spite of Macready's adjuration; per sisted in walking down the centre of the stage, and thereby entirely hiding Macbeth from the audience. The trage dian impatiently called for a carpenter, a brass-headed nail, and a hammer. The carpenter came. "Do you see that plank there ? Drive the nail into that spot." It was done. "Now you, sir," (this to the "murderer ") "look at that nail. Come down to that spot, not au inch further —and wait there till I come." Mr. Utility did as ho was desired, and Macready's mind was easy. Night came, and with it the banquet scone. The " first murderer afupdaireennetelybegan to titter. Macready looking for something he enters, walks down the stage , stops suddenly, then turns hado rou d nd r o a p n p d e d . round, T h stalks to the man's side : "In Heaven's name, what are you about ? " " Sure," exclaims the 4 murderer,' " ain't I looking for that blessed nail of yours ? " The effect of this speech upon the audience may be i mag i ne d. The " first murderer " had to give his royal employer a wide berth for the rest of the evening. — Chambera's Journal.

NEWMARKET SPRING MEETING.—FamAr. The concluding day of tho First Spring Meeting wa rendered somewhat unpleasant by the stormy weather ;s for, although Ulu morning was remarkably fine, the sky became overcast towards noon, when the racing commenced, and drenching rain fell for some time. The effect of the wet, however, was beneficial in laying the dust which had been so very annoying during the week, and which might easily have been subdued by the use of so simple an appli ance as the water cart. It is unnecessary to refer to the racing here, as its character is not calculated to affect the future. Robin Hood (Lord Portsmouth's) won the New market Stakes ; but, although odds of 3 to 1 were freely laid on him, Mr. Savile's Sealskin managed to run. him to a head.

Movements of Cotton in America. muna O nitu u efa r a t r cs eaders are aware that ever since the clos e of the war we have maintained an estimate of th e prob a bl e supp l y o f co tt on i n the South lar g ely ex ceedingutthear te ss estimates aanndd G br g ye e a n tt e h r ße a r ll i y te ao tn n t 0. t n e r ttoari trade r e ed viewsna f m o t nha as u to the supply of raw material have regulated our opinion upon the condition of prices in the goods, market, and h ave so widely differed from thoseprQ vailing in the trad e tha we understand presu ourme many of ti our re aders have been unable what we d eeme d a sober r h i a h v r e ou st g e h ad all ily sorts of to complaintsand cha p r o g al es we e of estimate of the stock of cotton, satisfied that our views should remain to be tested by ultimate results. Those results are now appearing, and we are prepared to compare opinions with facts. About a year ago we said with reference to the probable stock of cot ton in the country : "We apprehend there can be little reasonable doubVof the existence of large quantities of cotton in the South. Probably from two millions to two and-a-half millions of bales would be a safe esti mate of the balance remaining, now that all the ports have fallen into our hands. The amounts found at Savannah, Charleston, and Wilmington are a very imperfect criterion of the stock in the country. The ports have been naturally regarded as the most exposed places for storing cotton ; for they have each been long threatened by our navy ; and, during late months especially, there can have been little doubt in the minds of the Southern people that their seaports must soon fall into our occupation. For the purpose of safety, therefore, the cotton has been stored in the interior of the country ' • or it would perhaps be more accurate to say has been there hoarded. A value is placed upon cotton in the South of which we have a very imperfect conception at the North. It is true that, at present, it does but little towards meeting the wants of the people ; but it is the only hope of a large portion of the population when the war shall have closed. It is the capital on which they hope to be started in business again when hostilities shall have ended ; and it is consequently preserved with as much care as gold itself. We must not therefore suppose that because our raiders have not discovered any monster piles of cotton bales in their progress, there is only a small amount of cotton in the South. It will ultimately come forth from the attics and cellars of a thousand private dwellings. It will be found not only in the hands of cotton planters, but distributed, in small lots, among nearly all, who have had a surplus of means which they wished to invest in something that would depreciate little during the war, and then, when peace came, they can promptly convert into ready money by sup plying themselves with the commodities that will then crowd into their markets." We now find the total supply of cotton in the South, at the.close of the war, including the new crop, to have been nearly 2,2 0 0 , 000 bales, or about half-way between our minimum and maximum esti mates. The total is obtained as follows : _ Bales. Receipts at the ports from May 1, 1865, to Sept 1, 1565 Receipts at the ports from Sept. 1, 1865, to Feb 1, 1866 Estimated amount in the interior on Feb. 1, 1866 550.000 Estimated stock at the Southern ports Total supply in tho South at the close of the war 2,195,000 Add stock in other than Southern ports 60,000 Total supply in United States 2,225,000 It thus appears that in lieu of a supply of 1,500,000 to 1,750,000 bales, very generally antici pated until quite recently, the supply reaches fully two and a quarter million of bales, or 630,000 bales beyond the average estimate. We are enabled to present our readers the result of a very careful estimate of the tail supply of cotton in the United States on Feb. 1, 1866. The statistics have been compiled from a survey of the stocks at the several points, under the auspices of a number of manufacturers and merchants, and arc, we understand, endorsed by the Secretary of the Treasury, as approximating official estimates based upon the reports of Treasury agents. The follow ing is the estimate COTTON IN THE UNITED STATES ON THE IST DAY OF FEBRUARY, 1866. Bales. Cotton in New York city 327,000 Cotton in other cities, viz.: Boston, Providence, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wilmington, Charles ton, Mobile, New Orleans, Florida, and other Texas ports, St. Louis and other Mississippi river ports Estimated amount to come forward from the interior. The estimates are made by commis sion merchants and others, who have agents throughout the South where there is a proba bility of cotton being for sale 600,000 Total number of bales The amount gone into consumption and exported during the nine months from May 1, 1865, to Feb. 1, 1866, is thus shown : Supply in the United States, May 1, 1865 1,255,000 Supply in the United States Feb. 1, 1866 Consumed and exported in nine months 778,000 Of a total supply, of 2,225,000 bales on May 1, 1865, we have up to February, 1866, shipped and taken into consumption at home 788,000 bales, and have 1,477,000 bales for supplying foreign The home consumption and export combinedh do mestic spinners until the new crop comes to a m n arket.

With a certain supply of 2,500,000 bales from the next crop, and possibly even a much larger amount, it is impossible that current prices of raw cotton can be much longer maintained.—New York Economist. The Admiralty Court decided on Tuesday that the steamer " Sumter" must be given up to the United States Government. The history of this notorious rover will not be forgotten by any who were interested in the late rebellion. The vessel was purchased in the year 1861 by the so-called Confederate States, and, having been armed and otherwiseequipped, proceeded to sea and cruised in the 'West Indies and elsewhere, and captured and burned numerous vessels belonging to citizens of the United States. In the month of January, 1862, she put into the port of Gibraltar, where she was sold, and she was subsequently em ployed in running the blockade, in which service she continued until the close of the war, when, having put into Liverpool, she was arrested, and proceedings were taken by the United States Go.
