MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL IN TEL L IGE NCB. TWELVE O. The M oney Market continues active, 'CLOCK notwith standing the increased value of money. There have been a large number of bills on offer, but the brokers have refused to negotiate any but the best short -dated paper at less than 8 per cent. The return from the Bank of England is very unfavourable, the reserves of bullion and notes having been considerably lessened, while the bills discounted have been increased more than two mil lions sterling. Subjoined are the particulars : Active Circulation ....£21,776,435 Increase 1,314,600 ... 13,106,183 • .. 296,919 3,296,558 42,848 ' 579 ' 437 ... 969,906 .. 14,727,958 Nr. sday.

The bullion has been reduced £1,000,000, while the notes in circulation have been increased £2,800,000, the commercial bills, £2 , 8 40,000, and the advances on stock £40,000. The current accounts have received an addition of £360,000, and the Treasury balance has been les sened £2,040,000. At the bullion department of the Bank of Eng land yesterday afternoon there was a further with drawal of £70,000 for Alexandria. During the past week there has been very little animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, and the operations in most of the principal staples have been of quite a retail character, with out material change as regards values. Two O'CLOCK. The English Stock Market has presented re newed symptoms of a general depreciation in prices. Sales have prevailed, and Consols have fallen to 86 4 for money, and to 871 1 for the account and next February. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 861 1 ; Exchequer Bills, 2s. dis. ; Bank Stock, 246 ; India 5 per Cents., 102/ 4 ; and the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 1011. In the Foreign Stock department a general down- Ivarcl movement has taken place. Turkish 5 per Cents. are 41i 1 ; Mexican, 221 1 ; ditto New, 201 ; Greek, 14/ 151 ; Spanish Passive, 271 28; Certi 4.,,eates, 14/ ; Italian, 621 1 ; the Confederate Loan, 7 ; and Brazilian Scrip, / / prem. Very little change is apparent in the value of American Securities. United States Government 6-2 0 Bo n d s are 641 1 ; Erie Shares, 551 561; and Illinois, 76/ 771. The operations in the Railway Sh are M ar k e t h ava been In limited, and a further decline has taken place values. Great Western and South Eastern have each exceeded 10s., and Great Eastern, Lancashire Easter n Yorkshi re, M etropolitan, Midland, and North (Berwick) each s s . In the Foreign and Colonial lines there is no c hange of importance. For Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there is a very limited inqui r y, an d prices generally remain London Joint Stock at 511 ; Hudson's Bay Com 123any at 151 ; Ch ar l es L a fi tte and Co. are quoted 3 Prem. i 2 prem.; and London St eam T ow i ng C ompany, f BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 8 GOVERNMENT FUNDS. ile ,r Cent.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE .This Day. BOW-STREET. Two fashionably dressed men, named Henry Dodd and John Paterson, tho former of whom said he was a gasfitter, residing in Kennington-lane, and the laAer a shoemaker, residing at 11, York-street, Lambeth, were placed before Mr. Vaughan, on remand, charged with feloniously loiter ing about a part of Drury-lane Theatre, with intent to pick pockets. From the evidence of Sergeant Coathorp, of the detec tive police, it appeared that he saw the prisoners standing opposite the theatre on the night of the 28th ult., about a quarter past eleven o'clock, and just at the time the audience were leaving the theatre, they crossed over, and commenced " testing" 'the pockets of the ladies as they were waiting for their carriages. Coathorp said ho distinctly saw the hands of Dodd twice disappear in the pockets of some ladies, and, obtaining the assistance of a sergeant of are A division of police, who was engaged on duty inside tho theatre, he took the prisoners into custody and charged them with attempting to commit a felony. They were remanded, but beyond the fact that one of the prisoners had been convicted, and the other was known to be the associate of thieves, nothing further was known. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate• for both prisoners. He said it would be exceedingly bard if the two men were sent to prison on the uncorroborated evidence of the police. One of the men had been unfortunately previously con victed, but that 'Was no reason why he should be hunted down by the police. With respect to the other, he was a person who had accidentally met his companion, and, hav ing spent a few hours together, he was going home in his company, without the slightest knowledge that he had ever been convicted. It was too much, he thought, to ask every person who had been in prison to hang a ticket iound his neck showing the date and length of a sentence he might have undergone. Yet such would have to be done to prevent persons being taken up who, with the most innocent in tentions, accidentally entered into conversation with per sons of whom they had no previous acquaintance. He hoped that, as the prisoners had given their correct ad dresses, the magistrate would discharge them. Mr. Vaughan said that if he had had the slightest doubt in the case he should have been inclined to share in the opinion of Mr. Lewis, but unfortunately such was not the case. The evidence was of the clearest description. The constable sees the men opposite the theatre previous to the termination of the performance, and immediately the audience begin to leave they are seen to cross over the road, mix with the crowd, and put their hands in the pockets of the ladies waiting for their carriages. It was true that Paterson was not seen to do this, but then he put himself in front of Dodd, whilst he carried out his object. It was also true that an honest man might occa sionally be seen in the company of a convicted thief, and yet be perfectly innocent of bad intentions ; yet he did not think it was at all probable that a man could habi tually be in the company of thieves without becoming aware of the fact. The police were positive as to their knowledge of one of the prisoners, and he could not think that his companion was altogether ignorant of his character. He should therefore deal with both prisoners under the Vagrant Act, and send them each to prison for three months, with haul labour. The prisoners were then locked up. BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, JAN. 4.

(Signed) RoULAND. Cotton Supply Association. At the meeting of the Executive Committee of this As sociation, on Tuesday, a letter was read from Sao Paulo, stating that the seed forwarded by the Association to that province has been distributed under the direction of Senhor Commendator Prates and the superintendent of the Sao Paulo Railway. Much eagerness was manifested by the growers to obtain the seed, and wherever it has been planted it has come up in a very promising condition, so that good results are looked for next harvest. The public press of Sao Paulo has done excellent service in inducing the farmers of the province to take up the culture of cotton. The superintendent of the railway has for several years been zealously and successfully endeavouring to excite an interest in the cultivation of cotton. A letter was also received from Sao Paulo proposing the forma tion of a joint-stock company for the purpose of receiv ing the cotton grown in the interior of the province and transmitting it to England. It is calculated that should the present rate of progress continue for two years longer there will be something like half a million of arrobas (7,143 tons) of cotton produced annually. In the districts towards the south, such as Itu, Porto Felix, Pira porado Curuca, San Roque, Sorocaba, &c., and in those towards Minas, where the soil is of a quality that will scarcely admit of the growth of coffee, though well suited for cotton, there is the utmost eagerness for the new cul tivation. At present the cotton is shipped in Santos for Rio, and the charges amount to five per cent., at least, so that a great saving would be effected by the establishment of a depot at Sao Paulo, from which the produce would be conveyed by railway to Santos and embarked at once. It is believed theta company, with agents to communicate with the planters, and receive their produce, would be a success, and give increased impetus to the cultivation of cotton. Previously to the American war, and for the first two years of the struggle, not a pound of cotton was sent down to San tos to be shipped for a foreign market, but this year's crop will probably exceed 200,000 arrobas, or 2,837 tons. A let ter received from the consular agent at Guanaxuato, Mexico, entered minutely into details of the remarkable cotton growing capabilities of the Gulf sea coast, especially that portion which lies between the small port of Tuxpan and that of Soto-de-la-Marina, including about tho centre of the line, the rather important port of Tampico. Although the cotton plant is almost indigenous to Mexico, its culti vation is only of recent date ; even in 1848, when the writer first became acquainted with the country, it was entirely unknown. In various parts of the interior the growth of cotton has been attempted, but often with only poor success, owing to the general want of irrigation and the early frosts, which cut off the plants before the yield has been fully obtained. Nevertheless, in the State of Du rango, cotton has been grown in sufficient quantity to be come a lucrative branch of industry. The section of the country indicated is said to be well adapted for the growth of cotton, and were proper means employed a vast quantity could be easily produced. Tho state of Tamauli pas, at the extreme southern end of which is the town of Tampico, extends northwards to the banks of the Rio Bravo, and is estimated to contain an area of 100,500 square miles, with a population of about 100,000. On either bank of the two noble rivers, the Tamesi and Panuco, at the confluence of which the town of Tampico is situated, there are virgin or partially cultivated lands upon which cotton might be grown to almost any extent. The writer's atten tion to this section of the country was first attracted in 1847-8 by the observations of the officers and soldiers of the American army eien occupying Tampico, who, being natives of Louisiana and Alabama, were struck with the admirable qualities of the soil, and the colour and staple of such cotton as Was produced by Stray plants or was found in private gardens. The writer's investigations leave been recently renewed in consequence of the publications and appeals of the association, and he now reports that this dis trict contains an enormous area of uncultivated land espe cially fitted for the growth of cotton; that it has two tlaViir able rivers for tho transport of produce to the vessel's side ; that there is a safe anchorage, and the voyage to lingland can be performed in as short time as from the United States; that freights would probably be somewhat lower, as ships to Tampico gain a handsome outward freight, whilst those to New Orleans go out in ballast, and require a higher rate to compensate for the extra outlay ; and that the climate is as healthy as a tropical one Well can be. Tha formation of an English company is advocated, for which special concessions could be obtained from Government, and under the management of experienced cotton growers from the Southern States success is confidently antici pated. It is also recommended that a supply of labour should be sought amongst the recently emancipated ne= groes of the United States, who would at once become citi zens and obtain abundant employment. A letter was read from Black River, Jamaica, enclosing a sample of tho first picking from a field of cotton planted the last week in July, and stating that the writer believes he shall fully realise the expectations he had formed. Ile has been urging the small settlers to plant cotton, and has been the means of origi nating an association which he hopes will contribute to a further extension of the cultivation. Any small quanti ties of cotton are purchased, and a respectable condign. wont will before long be made. Further details in illustration of the progress now making are promised. A letter was received, stating the writer's conviction that Antigua will shortly abandon sugar on many estates for cotton, and there are some estates now out of cultivation which would make the fortune in cotton at Bd. of any en terprising man. The writer has five estates in the island, which are as Dutch as lie tan attend to, and he is frilly per= suaded that there was a necessity for the recent act to pre vent cotton stealing, which some have supposed would by its stringency interrupt the progress now making in the cultivation of the staple; the thieves and the receivers will be checked in their future operations. A letter was read from the 'Foreign Office, expressing the readiness of the Earl of Clarendon to instruct her Majesty's consuls in cotton-growing countries to continue to forward all parti: culars which they can obtain respecting the growth of cotton in their several districts. A letter was received from the President of the Royal Commission, Naples, grate fully acknowledging the resolution of the association to offer medals for the best samples of Italian grown cotton at the forthcoming Neapolitan Exhibition, and stating that due publicity has been given. to this generous determina tion.—There was no other business of public interest. THE ItgiCl-HTS or THE GAItTEtt.--The assistants of Sir C. G. Young, Garter Principal Xing of Arms, have just placed the arms, banner, and insignia of Eaal Cowper, one no newly-created knights of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, within the Chapel Royal of St. George, Windsor Castle. The helmet, sword, and mantle were placed over this knight's stall on the prince's side of the choir, at the end nearest the royal closet, that being the position assigned to the junior knight. The coat of arms, beautifully enamelled upon an ormolu plate as usual, was affixed to the back of the stall, and beneath the heraldic device were the words, "Du tree noble et puissant seigneur —Francois Thomas de Grey, Comte Cowper,, Vicomte Fordwich, Baron Cowper et Baronet, Prince de I'Empire Romain, ctc." MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A THIEF CAUGHT NAPPING.—Charles Mobs, a lad, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a picture, some gas-fittings, and other articles, the property of Mr. W. H. Davis, solicitor, of 10, Golden-square. Mr. Davis said that in consequence of what he was told by his servant, he went down stairs and found the prisoner asleep on the stairs, and near him a bundle containing a picture and other articles, done up ready for removal. The prisoner said he had got into the house, being out of employment, for the sake of a night's lodging, and in a moment of temptation took the things. Mr. Knox observed that it was an odd thing that the prisoner should take the articles and then sit down by the side of them and go to sleep. Was the prisoner asleep or simulating sleep ? Mr. Davis said he was fast asleep. The prisoner had formerly been a lodger of his housekeeper, who had a room to spare. The prisoner had entered the house at half-past 7in the evening, and as at 11 o'clock he (Mr. Davis) saw the place all secure, he must have secreted himself. He suspected tho prisoner was waiting till the fire escape-man, whose post was close by, left, and then intended to go, but was overtaken by sleep. Mr. Knox said he would remand the prisoner that in quiries might be made respecting him. A LAD'S FAILURE TO BECOME A SOLDIER INDUCES HIM TO BECOME A THIEF.—A respectable-looking lad, who gave the name of George Harvey, but said his real name was Biddle, was charged with stealing some cigars at the shop of Mr. Arbeb, tobacconist, Ann-street, Piccadilly. Mr. Arbeb said that on the previous night he hoard a smash at his window, saw the prisoner trying to take out a box of cigars, and he ran out and secured him. Police-constable Boley, 300 A, said that on going to Mr. Arbeb's he found him holding the prisoner and some cigars on the ground. The prisoner said he did it from want, that he had tried to enlist as a soldier in Charles-street, Westminster, but failing to do so, he had broken the window with the intention of stealing the cigars. The prisoner said that being out of work, and having no home, he tried to enlist. He passed the doctor, but was rejected by the colonel, through being half an inch below the standard. Mr. Knox inquired what part of the country he came from ? The prisoner said from Midhurst, Sussex. Mr. Knox said he could understand a person in want stealing, but not cigars. Re would not decide the case till he heard something more of the prisoner, and would remand him. MARYLEBONE. SHOCKING CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—FULL PENALTY IM POSED.—John Porter was charged at the instance of Mr. Love, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelly allowing a horse to be worked in an unfit state. George Young, an officer of the Society, said he was in the Chalk-farm-road when his attention was called to a horse in a coal-waggon, containing three tons of coals. It was shivering and working in a very restless manner. He examined it, and found on lifting up the saddle an ex tensive old wound on the off side, and which was discharg ing a quantity of humour. The saddle was pressing into it and was covered with the discharge. It was blow ing and panting very much. It was broken-winded and in great pain, and quite unfit for work. On looking at the other horse in the waggon, there was found an old raw wound on the shoulder. The horses belonged to Mr. Wooley, the contractor, and prisoner, who had charge of all his horses, said he did not know that the back was quite so bad. He, however, said he was aware it was hardly fit kr work. Defendant said he was not aware that the horse was so bad. Mr. Mansfield fined him 40s. and costs, or, in default, to be imprisoned for one month. THAMES. ROBBERY IN THE LONDON Docit. —Frederick Fether stone, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing a pint of red wine and a quart of Barcelona nuts f rem tho ship John in the London dock. Edward Ellis, a dock constable, said the prisoner was leaving the London dock at the principal gateway. Yes terday afternoon he looked very bulky. He searched the prisoner and found under the waistband a square bottle containing a pint of Tarragona wine, and in his pockets a quart of Barcelona nuts. He asked the prisoner where he obtained the property, and be replied that a sailor on board the ship John gave him the wine and nuts. He went on board the John, and ascertained that the prisoner had been at work on board, and was engaged by the captain for two days. A cask of wine on board had been pierced and a gallon of wine taken from it. Part of the cargo of the John consisted of nuts. The prisoner, in defence, said that a sailor on board the John gave him the wine and nuts. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. The prisoner implored of the magistrate to inflict a tine Which he could pay, and not send him to a prison. He had a wife and large family. Mr. Paget-- I can't help that. A distinct robbery has been committed. I cannot doubt it at all. If your story is true, you must have known that sailors have no right to give swag property. I have had a great many of these cases, and I wish it to be known that I shall not inflict fines for the unlawful possession of property in thr., dock, for that you are charged with, but commit to prison for a long terms all offenders, or else commit them for trial. These petty robberies are very numerous, and in the aggre gate much valuable property is taken out of the docks. The Prisoner—Make me pay a fine, sir. Mr. Paget—No. I should be wanting in my duty to the public if I passed over these cases with fines. The sen tence is two months' imprisonment and hard labour. SUICIDE OF A BANK OF ENGLAND CLERK.— Information has been received at the Bank of England of the determined suicide of Mr. Needham, one of principal clerks in the New Three per Cents. Office. The melancholy occurrence took place on Wednesday at tho deceased's residene in Stoke Newington. The unhappy man inflicted a serious wound in his throat. He was at the Bank in the early part of the week. No cause can be assigned for the act. An inquest was held yesterday, and the verdict of the jury was temporary insanity. CURIOUS TWELFTH-DAY CUSTO3I.—Few Londoners may be aware that to-morrow, the Feast of the Epiphany, a curious and unique ceremonial is to be wit nessed by any one who will go to the Chapel Royal, St. James's, at noon—the offering in the Queen's name on the altar of gold, frankincense, and myrrh—comn.emorative of a similar offering 1870 years ago by the " wise men of the East," who thus did homage to the Holy Child of Beth. lehem.

At eleven o'clock yesterday morning the court constituted by the Board of Trade to inquire into the collision between the mail-packet Samphire and the barque Fanny Buck reassembled at the Town hall, Dover. His worship the Mayor presided, Dr. Astley sitting as a magistrate, and Captains Harris and Baker as nautical assessors. The same solici tors appeared for the respective parties concerned. The court was engaged until two o'clock in hear ing the evidence of witnesses, taken at their several examinations on previous days, read over to them before receiving their signatures. Alexander Harley (examined by Mr. O'Dowd) said--I wason board at the time of the collision, and immediately afterwards I saw a dim green light on board the barque. Considering that the vessel was going down, as her bows were under water and the sea was washing against the casing of the boilers on deck, I assisted in lowering a boat, and saved my self and my daughter by lowering myself down a rope with my child on my shoulder. The boat was so crowded that uo search could be made for the plug. One lady was in a state of semi-hysteria. There were no sailors in the boat to manage it. We had not started long from the steamer be fore it was suggested that we should unship the rudder, because there were two oars on one side and one on the other. We could not keep our head to the shore lights. One of the passengers said-- " I've just thrown the rudder overboard." One of our oars also broke, and I have no doubt that was thrown overboard too. Arrived at the Lord Warden Hotel, I beg to say that I never received such attention at any hotel in my life, both for myself and daughter, much more attention being paid than I had a right to expect under the circum stances. There was a plentiful supply of necessaries and comforts. Within a few minutes of coming ashore two of the men who had helped to get us ashore were going round, cap in hand, asking for money ; and another man on the pier, in the employ of the railway company, who had lent me a coat on landing, pressed his claim upon me for a gratuity. Tho rest of the witness's evidence related to the boats and to the whistle of the steamer's engine, which he thought was not shrill enough, but Mr. Churchward said the Samphire's whistle was the same as that of a locomotive, and could be heard from 20 to 25 miles off. LEY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. i GRAVESEND, Friday Morning. Arrived, Jan. s —Maria Pia, steamer, from Lisbon Panther, steamer, from Boulogne. No arrivals. DEAL, Friday Morning. TIIE MURDERER FORWARD.—At the last weekly meeting of the Ramsgate Local Board of Health, Mr. Livick, superintendent of police, said he had received a reply from Sir George Grey to the letter forwarded by the clerk of the board as to his clear claim for the reward offered by Government for the apprehension of the mur derer of the three children at Starr's Coffee-house, Hol born. The clerk read the communication, from which it appeared that Sir G. Grey did not consider that Mr.Livick was entitled to the reward, as Forward was apprehended at Ramsgate for murdering his wife and child, although it turned out that he was the murderer of the children at Holborn. Mr. Livick thanked the board for the trouble they had taken on his behalf, and said he was of opinion that he was entitled to the reward, as he might have con veyed Forward to London on a charge of murdering his three children instead of taking him before the local magis trates. NEW RULE ON THE COMMON-LAW STAMPS.— Yesterday the following new rule on the common-law stamps was promulgated at the Judges' Chambers : "Every affidavit intended to be filed, used, or referred to at the Judges' Chambers, must have the necessary stamp affixed on the outside, and cancelled before the same can be filed or in any manner used before the judge." A seal(' of stamps to be used on the various documents has b°°' issued, and new rules have been framed to carry out the act to abolish fees except by stamps in the common-law offices. STEPIIEN MASSETT, universally known through out America, California, Australia, and India, a 3 Jeems Pipes, of Pipeville, and whose fame in the United States is equal to the Charles Dickens of our own country, is expected to arrive by the next steamer from New York, and will shortly give his most successful entertainment, entitled "Drifting About." The merits of this artiste are spoken of by the American press in terms of the highest commendation. The Morning Call, of San Francisco, says: —" His narrative and descriptions were racy and interest ing, and interspersed with imitations of peculiar people, met while pass i ng through the world, which were very amusing. His imitation of Madame Anna Bishop Was ox. cellent, inimitable, and, as well as his Forest in Hamlet,' was loudly applauded. The gems of the evening were the touching poems of 'Beautiful Snow,' and the Vaga bonds,' which ho read with extreme pathos. While re peating the ' Vagabonds,' and speaking as if to the beg gar's dog Roger, we saw numbers of the audience rise to catch a sight of the imaginary dog, the acting and reading ' l .l o ` h n e g r e e n w o a u s g t h u u tocht v re a 7 ri w e t h y il i e n , a t 1: 3 e a I e w c h ti o u l e e: a w .n e d r e n o s :e n o a f t u i t r t was it was a great ticcess." isti - verecl DI n s of cture a lso )xpe ringt were they ra )ocl tU iv- 100 100 100 all 100 100 .100 100 2 100 .100 94s sn 8 ... 3 ...6 ..3 .. 3 ... 5 -. 3 ... 5 ... 3 ... 5 ... 5 ...6 ... 3
