DIONEI MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market presents no new feature of interest. The supply of capital afloat is abundant, but the rates remain at si, and 6 per cent. for first class short dated papor. What is contributing to wards the hardening of the quotations is the out flow of gold to the continent, and of silver to the east. In the bullion department of the bank on Satur day the operations comprised £120,000 withdrawn for exportation, and £20,000 received. The report of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company has been issued. The net profits for the year,lafter making all deductions and reserves, leaves a disposable balance of £127,243, out of w h ich a dividend, at the rate of 10 per cent., is recommended, leaving a reserve of £81,177, and an amount to be carried forward of £16,588. We are informed on good authority that the directors delegated by the board of the South- Eastern and London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Companies have determined to recommend an arrangement for the fusion of theinterests of the two companies. This arrangement cannot fail to be beneficial t o th e s h areholders, wh i le it will afford incr eased r facilities to the p u bli c . The advices from most of the principal manufac turing districts for the past week state that busi ness generally has been very inactive, the unsettled state of foreign policy having caused a suspension o f export operations. At Manchester cloths and Yarns have been at reduced rates, while at Leeds, Br adford, and H u dd ers fi e ld , th ere h as b een littl e business reported in any description of woollen g elc ds• In Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver - 4 , am pton also les s an i ma ti on h as p reva il e d i n mos t departments of business.

Li iierpocl Cotton Market. —TLis Day-. Rather more demand for cotton, but without any improvement whatever in quotations. Sales pro bably 8,000 bales. MARK-LANE. The wheat trade in the county markets, held on Satur day, was firm, and fine samples changed hands, at rather higher prices. Barley was very dull, and, the trade for other descriptions of spring corn ruled quiet, at rather drooping quotations. Flour sold slowly, at late rates. On the continent, the wheat trade is steady, at full prices. At New York, the business doing in wheat and flour for export to Europe continues very limited. The arrivals of English grain, &c., up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad consisted of 10,182 quarters of wheat; 22,217 barley; 29,246 oats; 587 beans; 300 peas; 50 tares; 1,047 linseed; 14,416 rapeseed ; 7,078 maize ; 565 sundry seeds ; and 1,967 sacks of flour. Fro h up to our market to-day, the arrivals of home growd wheat were only moderate, and in but middling condition. For the best samples, the trde was firm, and prices advanced ls. per quarter. Inferior qualities of wheat moved off slowly; nevertheless, last Monday's cur rency was supported. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was mode rate. For most descriptions there was a fair demand, but in some instances prices were the turn in favour of sellers. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, and the quotations ruled firm. The supply of English barley on sale was very mode rate, but the market was well supplied with foreign quali ties. Sales, generally, progressed slowly, at about late rates. Malt was in fair demand, and prices ruled firm. Beaus wore in short supply, and the trade ruled firm on rather higher terms. There was a fair demand for peas at late rate rates. In flour, about an average business was transacted on former terms. The supply of oats on sale was moderately large. Most qualities were in fair request at fully late rates. CURRENCY PER IMP.

There was an increased supply of beasts on offer in our market to-day. It was composed of 800 Scots and crosses from Norfolk, 283 from Aberdeen, 70 from Dundee, and 300 from Ireland. The remainder was composed of foreigners, in fair average condition. All breeds met a heavy demand, at a decline in the quotations of 4d per Blbs. In the early part of the morning a few very superior Scots sold at 5s 4d, but subsequently the quotations declined to 5s and 5s 2d per 81bs. The whole of the supply from Nor folk was received per railway. The new Order in Council forbidding the removal of sheep without the Board of Works' District, caused great heaviness in the mutton trade, inasmuch as buyers from Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham, whose attendance was good, were unable to make purchases. A fall, there fore, of 4d per Blbs took place in prices. Prime Downs and half-breds, in the wool, sold at 6s 8d to 7s; out of the wool, 5s 4d to 5s 6d ; and clipped Lincolns, 4s 8d to 5s per Sibs. Lambs were in fair average supply and sluggish request at from 7s to 8s per 81bs. The few calves cn show were disposed of at from 5s td to Os 4d per 81bs. Pigs moved off heavily, at depressed quotations. The top figure was 4s 10d per Sibs.

COMMENCEMENT OF TERM. Tho commenoomeut of Easter Term, and consequently the resumption of business in the supreme courts of law, at Westminster, was celebrated this morning by the Judges. Her Majesty's counsel and the leading members of the legal profession breakfasted with the Lord Chan cellor. At the splendid repast the judges proceeded in procession to their respective Courts, in Westminster-hall, where a large number of persons had assembled to witness their arrival. The business in tho Court did not commence owing to this circumstance until two o'clock, and then it was con fined to motions and other matters totally devoid of in terest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A WIPE INCITING A MAN TO ASSAULT HER HUSBAND. — James King, of No. 7, Porter-street, Soho, described as an engineer, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with as saulting Mr. John Jennings, a dairyman, of No. 5, Porter street, Soho. W. E. Dillon Lewis, of Great Marlborough-stroet, ap peared for the complainant, and said that a few days ago the complainant, who lived unhappily with his wife in consequence of her dissipated habits, was charged at this court with assaulting his wife, that Mr. Knox, who heard the case, seeing that it was a trumped-up charge, dis charged the complainant. On Saturday night the defen dant went to the complainant's shop and demanded a shawl belonging to his sister-in-law, which he alleged had been lent to his wife. Ile was told by the complainant that he would not get it, and ho left, saying g aor but returned in about an hour accompanied by the com plainant's struck the complainant wife, d little doubt that he had'some sharp instrume nt in h i s hand at the time, as the complainant's face and hand were cut, the complainant's the an face , without there wife standing by all the time inciting the defendant to assault her husband by crying out, "Give it him, give it him well." The complainant gave evidence which fully bore out Mr. Lewis's statement, and he further said that his hand was cut in protecting his face. He believed the prisoner had assaulted him at the instigation of his wife. The defendant said he merely wont to the house to ask for his sister-in-law's shawl, which had been lent to the complainant's wife to enable her to attend the court last week. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a violent assault, and he should fine the defendant 40s. or a month. Mr. Lewis said be had to apply for a summons against the wife of the complaina nt for ass aulting him. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he thought As she had incited the defendant , to and ntto gr a a s n sa te u d nitohee.r husband she ought to be sum- REMARKABLE STATEMENT OF STERLING KING, A PRI SONER CONFINED IN THE LOUISVILLE (KY.) GAOL. A man named Sterling King, an inmate of the gaol in Louisville, Kentucky, has confessed that he was the person who attempted the life of Secretary Seward. No faith whatever can be placed in the truth of the statements, but as a matter of interest we condense the following further particulars from the Louisville papers of the 22d of March We chance to be personally cognisant of the antecedents of this pretended conspirator. He claims to be a native of Virginia, and states that he was a cousin of Horatio King, formerly Assistant Post master- General. "In 18G3 he figured as a lawyer in Cincinnati, and also obtained permits for the shipment of goods to Memphis. While thus engaged he was arrested by the military authorities, charged with uttering disloyal sentiments, tried by court-martial, a n d sentenced to six months' labour on the fortifications back of Covington, with a ball and chain attached to his leg. For some reason the sentence was not carried into effect. " Some time afterward he appeared in Abingdon, Virginia, where he was sporting the uniform of a Confederate colonel. General John H. Morgan arrested him as a spy ; he was tried by a court martial and sentenced to be hung. But in this case, as in so many others, good luck attended him, and he managed to escape to the Federal lines. " We know nothing of King's operations sub sequent to his escape from Virginia, until he was lodged in our city gaol on the charge of stealing horses and buggies." The Democrat says : " King states that he was the man who killed President Lincoln. He says that he entered the theatre as any other person, purchasing a ticket and paying for it. At the appointed time he entered the private box in Ford's Theatre, Washington, where Mr. Lincoln was, and he shot him with a single barrelled pistol, which he let fall at the time he leaped from the box. He gives as his object for using a single-barrelled pistol that he was compelled to leave it behind him, and if it had been a revolver those in the box might have used it against him. He further says that after he shot the President and leaped from the box he passed 'by several per sons, but one of whom he knew—Miss Laura Keene—and she did not know him. According to his statement, J. Wilkes Booth, whom it is said was the murderer of Lincoln, was in the rear of the theatre awaiting with horses. " From the vicinity of Ford's Theatre he states that he went to the residence of Secre tary Seward, and, after forcing an entrance, he made an attack upon the Secretary himself, cutting him in the throat with a bowie-knife. He says that after young Seward was knocked down, the old man begged not to be murdered, and that he struck. the blow to silence him. His only re gret seems to be that he did not kill the Secretary. He says that the statement published in the papers that there were two persons in the affair is false, as he is the man who shot the President and made the attack upon Secretary Seward. He says that there was another person in the affair who has not yet been apprehended, who was to have killed Stanton, but he failed to fulfil his pledge. "In regard to Booth, he says that Booth had nothing to do with the killing, with the exception of assisting him to make his eseac from the city of Washington. He gives in his written statement, which is now in the hands of the military, the route he pursued after leaving Washington. He says that the man killed in the barn, and who is said to have been Booth, is a pri soner who escaped from the Ohio prison. He claims t t o have, in company with Booth, went from Washington to Canada, and from thence to the island of Cuba. He states that his object in re turning to the United States was for the purpose of releasing Jeff. Davis, the President of the Con federate States. " In regard to Mrs. Surratt, who was executed as one of the conspirators, he says that she knew nothing of the conspiracy. The parties who planned the affair, three of whom have never been heard of, met regularly at the house of Mrs. Suratt, ...so that he was stopping at the house of Mrs. Suratt some ten or twelve days previous to the execution of the plot. " There are two prisoners now in gaol, Llewellyn and Grimes, who say that they know something of the affair, and it may be that the tale has been con cocted for the purpose of getting the three released from the charges now against them, and have them turned over to the military authorities. " The above statement was made to Generals Jeff. C. Davis and Watkins, at the gaol, on Tuesday, after having been related to two or three of the pri 7 soners and policeman Bligh. Finding that his statement was likely to get him into very serious difficulty, King determined to put an end to his miserable existence. He asked the privilege of hav ing a small penknife, which was granted him. With this he opened the veins of the left arm, and would have bled to death had it not been that the attempt was discovered by his cell-mate, and an alarm given. We yesterday paid a visit to King in his cell, and found him too low to speak. The alarm in regard to his attempt to commit suicide was given about four o'clock in the morning, after he had bled for several hours." GEORGE PEABODY.—The following sketch of the successful commercial career of Mr. Peabody is given by the Weekly Press, Philadelphia :—" Mr. G. Peabody, the well-known millionaire, who has been in business in London since 1837, as a merchant and money-broker, and previously had in Philadel phia and New York branches of his Baltimore house, is as liberal as wealthy. In 1848 he largely contributed to restore the credit of Maryland. At his own proper cost he supplied the arranging and garnishing of the American department of the Crys tal Palace Exhibition of 1851. He contributed libe rally, in 1852, to the expense of the American expedi tion fitted out under Dr. Kane, to explore the Arctic regions, in search of Sir John Franklin. At Danvers, New England, where he was born in 1795, he founded an institute, now bearing his name, de voting $70,000 to that purpose, and also gave over $500,000 to found an institute in Baltimore for the promotion of science, literature, and the fine arts. On retiring from active business, a few years ago, he presented the city of London with the muni ficent gift of $750,000 for the benefit of the poor of that modern Babylon, which has been expended in the erection of comfortable and convenient lodging houses for the working classes and he has lately supplemented this with the additional gift of $500,000, making his donation $1,250,000 in all. There are men in London, scores of them, who could have done as much as this—but none of them has done it. The humane liberality of the American merchant stands by itself—its own record,• as it were. THE DEAD OF THE AMERICAN WAR.—SIOWIy and sadly the records of the late war are being completed. Since the overthrow of the Rebel lion, the statistics of the army have been made up by patient investigation, so that as near as pos sible the cost of the dreadful conflict may be ascer tained. We have now a partial revelation of the loss of life, in the summing up of the medical and hospital records, by which it appears that no less than 253,000 Union soldiers died on the battle-field and in hospitals. There are not included in this ac count the number of officers and soldiers who died at home, either from wounds - or the effects of dis ease contracted in the service. The latter may be safely estimated at 47,000 more, so that the entire mortality by the Rebellion in the armies of the North, by the casualties of the war, may be put at 300,000. The remains of these gallant men are scattered all over the South ; thousands of them sleep their last sleep on the field where they fell ; many have been exhumed with care and reinterred in cemeteries near their former homes. The debt which the nation owes to these martyrs in the cause of freedom can never be paid. The American his peoe: ple have a legacy in their example fo r theenc ment of future generations that will brightenuirolatviltmh time, and teach their descen dants that pa is the first duty, and that to his country every one owes his strength, his courage, an andlifeblood.blOod.

HIGGS, TOASTMA STEIL—OUT readers will regret to learn the death of this useful and well-known functionary, so long attached to the staff of the London Tavern. Mr. lliggs was always civil and obliging, and withal modest in demeanour, and we are sure all who remember him will hear of his death with regret. He died on Saturday last, at his residence in Spa-road, Bermondsey, we believe of an attack of bronchitis.— The I London Mirror. YOU DON'T MEAN IT !—The folio zing portentous announcement actually appeared among the marriages recorded in the Times of Saturday :—" On the 10th inst., at St. Stephen's Church, Dublin, by the Rev. Thos. Jervis White, uncle to the bride, assisted by the Rev. Jas. Walsh, Charles Frederick Oakes, Esq., youngest son of the late M. Oakes, Esq., to Helen Elizabeth, youngest daughter of the late Col. Humphrey Jervis White, of the late Bengal Army, grandniece of the late Sir Henry Meredyth, Bart., cousin also of Sir Henry White Jervis, Bart., niece of John Jervis White, Esq., of Clifton, and grandniece of Mrs. Dr. Crampton, of Kildare-street." JOHN STUART MILL ON THE WORKING CLASSES. — A writer in the Morning Herald says:—ln the preface to third edition (1852) of Mr. Mill's " Principles of Political Economy" will be found these words: —" Tho only objec tion to which any great importance will be found to be attached, in the present edition, is the unprepared state of mankind in general, and of the labouring classes in particular ; their extreme unfitness at present for any order of things which would make any considerable demand on either their intellect or their virtue." It will not dilute the severity of the quotation if I point out to the thousands of the labouring classes who read your paper, that whereas Mr. Lowe has, for his criticism of certain constituencies, boon denounced as a malignant reviler of the non-voting population, Mr. Mill, on the other hand, has published, without compunction or reservation, a most sweeping condemnation of working men in globo. It strikes me that the deliberate writings of a public man demonstrate his real opinions more truthfully than any oral statements ho may see fit to make as one of the most fervent apostles of Messrs. Bright and Gladstone's Franchise Bill. GREAT NO RTHERN HOSPITAL,CALEDONI AN-ROAD.— The members of the Alexandra Dramatic Club have kindly promised a first-class entertainment, under distinguished patronage, at Myddelton Hall, on Saturday, 28th inst., for the benefit of this charity.

Covey, The support awarded to Lord Lyon will reduce the field for this event to a very small compass. In fact no horse has seen such a short price ever since the race w en instituted. That the race is such a "moral" I do not be lieve. If he should win the Derby would be all over but "shouting." Janitor has been steadily supported within the last two or three weeks ; and, if in anything like the form he showed at Ascot, it would not surprise mo to see. him beat Lord Lyon.

PARIS, April 15 (Evening). Tho Paris races were run to-day, with tho following rc-, suit : THAMES. A PAINFUL CASE SCANDALOUS TREATMENT OF A LUNATIC PAUPER.—SUERD Poulson, a poor and wretched looking woman as pale as a spectre, was brought before Mr. Knox, charged with attempting to commit self destruction. Police-constable William Furnish, No. 674 A, stated that yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock the prisoner came to him in the Mile-end-road and said that she had swal lowed a quantity of oxalic .acid, and was determined to destroy herself, for she was quite destitute and tired of her life. Ho took her to the station-house. A doctor was E.T i rl h iga s ie n fr e gmetic applied ; the poison was dislodged Mr. Knox—Had she swallowed oxalic acid ? Witness—Yes, sir; she was very ill, indeed, and wo sent her to the Union-house. The prisoner, who was straining and in great pain, here called out, " I want Sir George Grey to hang me." Furnish—The doctor and the people in the union house say the prisoner is insane. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the poor woman was committed by Mr. Partridge to prison for 21 days about a month ago for refusing to do work assigned to her in the workhouse. He had then to watch her, and had great trouble to prevent her strangling herself. She was before Mr. Paget last week, after she came out of prison, and complained of neglect and ill-usage, and the magistrate ordered an inquiry to be made about her. Mr. C. Young, the solicitor, then stated that Mr. Par tridge carefully investigated the case, and, upon tho evi dence of the Burgeon of the Stepney Union that she was not insane, and was capable of doing the work assigned to her, he committed her for 21 days. Mr. Knox said the unfortunate prisoner was no doubt insane and very ill, and she must be taken care of and treated with the greatest humanity. The best course would be to send her to Stepney Union-house. Mr. Parker, the master of the Stepney union at Bromley, said he should be most happy to attend to the suggestions of the magistrate. The case was a peculiar one. The surgeon of the Stepney union said she was not insane, and other surgeons said she was a lunatic. Mr. Knox—lt is an absurdity to say she is not insane. You hear what the gaoler says, and you have heard the statement of the police-constable. She made an attempt to strangle herself. She had taken poison, and you can see the state she is in now. For the credit of the Board of Guardians of the Stepney Union, see to hor and treat her tenderly.' The Prisoner—Hang me, sir. Mr. Parker would take care that every attention should be paid to the woman. Roche—She is very weak, your worship. The poor woman cannot walk. Mr. Knox directed that a cab should be hired, and the woman taken at once to the Stepney Union. The poor creature was then discharged, and led out of the court. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. —This Day.
