With a continued abundance of floating capital at the command of discounters and bankers, and a c omparatively small number of bills on offer, the money market is showing further symptoms of easi ness. Now that the commercial engagements due at the end of the month have, with a few trivial ex ceptions, been liquidated, the demand for accom modation is slight, and the public are holding over as much as possible their bills till after the Bank Court on Thursday next. The rates for the best short -dated paper are very easy, ranging from 34per cent. On the Stock Exchange loans are in very moderate request at 2 and 2} per cent. The Stock Exchange markets this morning gene rally present a steady appearance, and most descrip tions of foreign bonds and shares, including American, are at improved prices. 'The funds, how ever, are rather weak, and Consols have receded per cent., to 891 for money, and to 891 for the account. At the bullion office of the Bank of England, on Saturday afternoon, the influx of gold amounted to £B,OOO. The report of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, to be submitted at the forthcoming general meeting, recommends the payment of a dividend of £3 per share out of the ordinary profits, and a bonus of £2 per share from the insurance f und, free of income tax, for the six months ending 30th June last. The directors of the Great Indian Peninsula Rail way Company in their report just issued recommend the payment of the following dividends free of in come tax, for the six months ending 30th June last, viz., at the rate of ss. for every £lOO of capital stock, of 9d. per share on which £l6 is paid, 3d. per share with £6 paid, and ld. per share with paid. The payment is announced of the coupons on the certificates of debentures of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, due on the 15th proximo, at the Consolidated Bank. The general business of the Port of London last week continued moderately active. At the Custom Rouse 266 vessels were reported as having arrived from foreign ports, and there were two from Ire land. The entries outwards comprised 113 vessels, and those cleared were 111, of which 14 were dis patched in ballast. The departures for the Austra lian colonies have been six vessels, viz., three to Sydney, two to New Zealand, and 1 to Hobart Town, with an aggregate tonnage of 4,721. The reports f rom the various manufacturing dis tricts for the past week are generally of an unsatis factory character. At Manchester heaviness has been apparent in most departments, and prices of both cloths and yarns have declined, manufac turers and spinners having partially suspended operations, and operatives are only Working about four days a week. At Leeds, Bradford, and Hud dersfield there has been a very liTnited business en tered into, but spring fab r i cs are i n d eman d. Th e hosiery and l ace trades at Leicester and Nottingham hav e,, remained very li quiet, while at Birmingham, effield and Wolverhampton, an uneasy tone has prevailed in most departments. „;rhe Sha nnon, steamer, has arrived from the 'lest Indies with specie to the amount 0f£263,800. In the Corn Market to-day there was a moderate a mount o f b usiness entered into, and prices in most and Instances igforeanre well maintained for both home-grown wheat. °f There have been large supplies ailtae latter on offer chiefly from the Baltic. Barley oats maintain previous prices, while for flour ' i nlY former prices are current.

The first patent for a new lock bears date 1774, by which instrument Robert Barron, of London, secured to himself the privilege of " constructing locks in which the security was effected by fixed wards, with the addition of lifting tumblers or levers." Such is the merit of Barron's lock that it is still in great demand, as a secure and serviceable contrivance, although, since its first production, suc cessive inventors have taken out more than one hundred and twenty patents for novel locks, of which the most important are those known by the names of their respective inventors, Bramah, Chubb, and Hobbs. Joseph Bramah's lock, patented in 1784, was for more than two generations regarded as a con trivance that would baffle the cleverest mechanician who should venture to pick it. For years a specimen of this beautiful arrangement was exhibited in the window of Mr. Bramah's shop in Piccadilly, together with this placard :—" Notice.—The artist who can make an instrument that will pick or open this lock will receive 200 guineas the moment it is produced.' The reward was not claimed till 1851, when an American mechanician, named Hobbs, who had been drawn to the English metropolis by the Great Exhibition, saw the challenge, accepted it, and after a tough fight that lasted 16 days proved victorious. The success of Mr. Hobbs not only caused lively ex citement in the public mind, but for a time gave his lock a decided advantage in the market over the de feated Bramah, and also over the Chubb, which ex cellent lock—originally invented in 1818 by Jere miah Chubb, and subsequently improved by Charles Chubb, Ebenezer Hunter, and John Chubb— had for more than thirty years divided public favour with Bramah's invention. That the Chubb has not lost its hold on public confidence may be inferred from the fact that " Messrs. Chubb and Son manufacture about 30,000 locks per annum, the cheapest of which is sold at 10s. net, while many of them are worth from £2 to £3 each." It is almost needless to observe that the distinctive and most valuable feature of the Chubb is its detector, i.e., the spring which renders the bolt immovable as soon as the lock is tried with a false key. Like Bramah's and Hobbs's locks, Chubb's locks are made in series, each lock having its separate key, and the locks of a series obeying a master-key. " So extensive are the combina tions," observes Mr. Tiddcsly, " that it would be quite practicable to make locks for all the doors of all the houses in London, with a distinct and diffe rent key to each lock, and yet there should be one master-key to pass the whole A most complete series of locks was constructed some years ago by the late Mr. Chubb for the Westminster Bridewell. It consists of 1,100 locks, forming one series, with keys for the master, sub-master, and warders." THE PARIS EXHIBITION. Through the active efforts of J. C. DERBY, Esq., the United States Agent in New York, the complete list of all applications for space has been prepared. It comprises very satisfactory representatives in all classes, especially, however, in that which relates to machinery and mechanics. Mr. DERBY is constantly receiving new applications for space, and it is to be hoped that time will yet be allowed for the many important inventions now being offered. A great impetus has been given to the interest felt in the Jnited States by the efforts of SAMUEL B. RUGGLES, Esq., in the Western States, and General BANKS and P. T. BARNUM in New England. The various State authorities are using creditable exertions, and large sums have been appropriated specially by the Western States.

THE ALLEGED PERJURY AGAINST A POLICE CONSTABLE, This morning Hayes, the police-constable of the•S divi-' sion, who stands indicted with wilful and corrupt perjury, appeared before the court for trial. It will be recollected that the other constable, Barry, who was similarly indicted, was tried and acquitted on Friday last, the exact charge Wing that he (Barry) and Hayes both committed perjury in charging two young men, named Pierce and Dye, with being unlawfully found in a garden in Gloucester-crescent, Regent's Park, with intent to commit a burglary. Mr. Sleigh said at the former trial certain evidence had been given, and their investigation then about to be en tered into he should be able to bring forward certain wit nesses who would rebut a great portion of the evidence which had been given on the part of Barry. Mr. Cooper, who appeared for the defendant, complained that uo notice had been given to him of the nature of the new evidence to be given that day. Ile, therefore, thought that it was but fair that he should be put in pos session of the names of witnesses to be examined, and also that the trial of the Hayes should be deferred for a short time. After some discussion, the Court ordered the trial to stand over until next sesions. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. THE ALLEGED CASE OF RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS.— Moses Moses, of Blackhorse-yard, Aldgate, the marine store dealer, who stands charged with being in possession of a large quantity of stolen property, was to-day again placed before Alderman Finnis. The evidence taken related to the identification of 17 elephants' tusks which had been stolen from a ship in the St. Katherine's Dock. Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the defendant, said at the proper time he should be able to show that the tusks had been honestly come by. Sergeant Moss gave some further explanation relative to the search he made of the prisoner's premises, and a travel ler for Mr. Davey, the jeweller of Hatton-garden, in cross examination, said ho could not swear positively to the goods produced. The prisoner was again remanded until Monday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. This morniEg William Caution was placed before Mr. Tyrwhitt charged with creating a disturbance. The wife of the man said the whole of the row was in consequence of one of the constables behaving in a rude manner to- Wards her in ordering her to "move off." The magistrate dismissed the case, remarking that some persons always thought the police wore wrong in whatever they did. He did not share in that opinion. THAMES. SUCKING THE 310NKEY AND ASSAULTING A CONSTABLE. —John Bennett, a dock labourer, was charged with being in possession of a tube for the purpose of illegally sucking wines and brandies out of a cask, and committing an offence called "sucking the monkey," but in other words sucking wino out of a cask in the Loudon Dock.

The legitimate racing of the present: season terminated with the past Houghton Meeting held at Newmarket last week, and the principal habituds of the turf will now retire to their country houses, whore hunting, shooting, and other more congenial pursuits at this inclement period of the year await their pleasure ; or to those of a more dissi pated taste, the thousand and one attractions of town life are recommencing, after a period of dullness which has reigned paramount throughout this mighty Babylon for many months. Unfortunately, although Newmarket, the Paradise of racing men, has lost none of its prestige or patronage in high quarters, a schism prevails in that body, on whose unanimity the very fabric of our racing laws mainly depends, and if a canker is allowed to worm itself into their councils, to whom are we to look for the preser vation of the best interests of the turf ? Of course, I allude to the one principal topic of conversation which en grossed general attention throughout the meeting in con nection with the unfavourable system of handicapping horses which appears to prevail there, whereby a certain clique reduce the chances of their horses to a certainty, and back them in proportion. Throughout all circles of society there is the utmost unanimity in favour of the abi lity and high honour of Admiral Rous ; but it is reported in quarters likely to be well informed, that, as was gene rally understood, he has not the exclusive framing of the handicaps at head-quarters. A subject like this cannot be too much ventilated, as it is of paramount importance to bookmakers, and, indeed, to sporting men of all degrees. The two principal events of Monday wore the handicap plate over the Cambridgeshire Course, which Jollity won easily and the Criterion Stakes, wherein my selection, Taraban, cut up badly, and proved that Achievement is still the wonder of her sex, as she beat Friponnier and Dragon, second and third, easily by two lengths. In the presence of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and a large portion of the aristocracy the Cambridgeshire Stakes were decided on, Tuesday, in favour of one of the most straightforward sportsmen of the day—Mr. S. Thel lusson—whose filly, Acton, won cleverly, to the great gratification of all classes, as, though his winnings are favourite with estimated at £5, 000 or £ 6 , 000, she was a e r with the general public, and in cons e q uence backed . good deal of money by them. Thalia, w ho ran second, f s a n n o d t a 2 c 2 l l i b n clinker,m c , as s a h i e th w ne a s s s, receiving an ll t l h b ir f d ro . from the he w l . n t t n e a r r 's , stable companion, Chepstow, besides breaking away before the start many times, ran very unkindly in the actual race, and settled his chance a long way from home by swerving across the course. Proserpine and Affidavit, who were backed at 5 to 1 each, turned out impostors ; indeed the first placed four or five horses were all that were left in the race, at least a quarter of a mile from home. Four races, the total value of which, including the winners' own stake, was £270, occupied the rest of the afternoon, and show a disposition on the part of noblemen and gentlemen now-a-days to race for the value of a cab horse, provided there is plenty of betting. The principal excitement on Wednesday centred in The All-Aged Stakes, in which Friponnier, receiving 261 b from Lord Lyon, made short work with him, and won in a can ter, thus bearing out my opinion that he is only the best of a bad lot of three year olds. Gladiateur was unfortu nately an absentee, and there is now no probability of a match between him and Mr. Sutton's horse, as the former is announced to make his appearance next season in a dif ferent roll. Tho two Nurseries on Thursday and Friday go to prove what a good two year old can do, and the suc cess of Mr. Coventry's splendid filly, Viridis, in both in stances, must have been a great boon to the gentlemen who stood her on each occasion, almost to a man. I think, however, if a scrimmage had not occurred in Friday's race Hippia would probably have si on, and of the others it occurs to me Nine Elms will be satisfactorily heard of on some future occasion. Of Saturday's running I can only allude to the Houghton Handicap, wherein Mr. Ten Broeck's recent purchase, Batthyany, late Il Re Galantuomo, won cleverly, and landed him a good stake, at the same time upsetting the calculations aad intentions of Xi's owner, who would probably not regret if the handicappers, under whose notice his horse has come this year, had formed a less favourable opinion of his merit. The Meetings of the present week are Worcester, Lin coln, and Ealing, but the latter, which comes off on Friday and Saturday next under influential patronage, is not of sufficient public interest to require any remarks from me, except that I think if three parts of these local meetings were swept away no one would be a loser, unless those parties personally interested. Worcester commences on Tuesday, and extends over three days, the last of which, unfortunately, clashes with Lincoln; however, with Mr. Robt. Johnson as judge, Mr. M'George, starter, and Mr. W. Webb, the honoraryd clerk of the course, and half a dozen influential stewards, there is no doubt of its success. The Autumn Handic a p , run on the first- day, should result between Sandal, Troubadour, Brimstone, and Dliso , and • o r San" looks to me any odds on Pearl Div ne , of these, it Brimstone, and, if I recommend 0 Plato Handi must be SANDAL.

NEWMARKET. Yesterday (Sunday) the horses were limited to trotting or cantering exercise, and amongst them we noticed Bread albane, Broomielaw, Nu, The Rector, Claxton, Trombone, Lady Bugle Eye, Slender, G oo df e ll ow, R ed Shoes, ' Pur chase, Claymore, Bathyany, King Charming, Roquefort, Gas, Cromwell, Warrior, The Rhymer, Verdi, Shrapnell, Duke of York, The Pieman, Pedagogue, and several others. A large number of horses left for their country quarters, and many more will leave to-day, as also will a few of ours that are engaged at Worcester and Lincoln. This morn ing Breadalbane had a good gallop of a couple of miles, and Knight of the Garter went a mile. The former's weight for the Lincoln Handicap is too heavy, and he may not therefore run, nor Grayfoot either. Brimstone has done some good work, and will take a lot of beating at Worcester, where Plunder seems to have a good fair chance for tho Nursery. We shall have Benazet there, and he looks and goes so well that it would not surprise us to see him win both the Hurdle Race and Free Handicap Steeplechase. This morning he gal loped about two miles and a half. Cortolvin and Reporter are in nice steady preparation. King Charming had a mile and a half gallop ; and Miss Harriette did two miles Othello, Chapel Royal, and Cheltenham worked freely, and are exceedingly fit. The Rake, The Hermit, Julius,Born-- bastes, Pericles, Blinkhoolie, Misfortune, Lochaber, and several more two year olds were galloping smartly. ;OLONIAL GO VERNMEN' British Columbia, 6 per cent., Dec.3l, 1872. ...

The first two albums contain six numbers each, the last two named twelve each, and the 011 a Podrida nine pieces, among which are one for violoncello, and one for horn, both with pianoforte acccompaniment. The pieces are mostly of the extent of about twelve pages, and rather of the elegant " salon" manner.

MARKETS.—This Day. MARK LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Sa turday was very firm, and an average advance of is to 2s per quarter took place in prices. The barley trade ruled somewhat active, and the quotations had an upward ten dency. Oats, beans, and peas were steady, at full cur rencies. There was a fair demand for flour, at quite late rates. On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, and prices aro on the advance. Advices from Now York state that the business doing in wheat and flour for export is very mu- derate. The supply of English wheat on sale hero to-day was very moderate, but the condition of the produce was good. Owing to the absence of many Yorkshire buyers, and the large importation of wheat from the Baltic, the trade was decidedly quieter than on Monday last. Sales were con cluded much less freely, and the recent improvement in the quotations was supported. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat. There was a fair demand for most qt.alities, and prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request at full currencies. The supply of barley on sale was moderate. Fine parcels were very firm in price, but medium and inferior produce moved off slowly at late rates. There was a moderate demand for malt, at late rates. The supply of oats on sale was moderately large. Gene rally speaking, the demand ruled quiet, but at full prices, for all good and fine samples of produce. Beans wore in fair demand, at late rates. The market was but moderately supplied. Peas changed hands to a fair extent, and prices ruled firm. The flour trade was firm, at late rates Linseed and rapeseed were dull, and the quotations wero somewhat easier. The demand for other seeds ruled quiet, at late rates. The Cape trade was firm, and prices had an upward tendency. CURRENCY PER IMP.

There was a largo supply of foreign beasts here to-day, yet the demand ruled steady, on higher terms. The show of foreign sheep was moderate, of calves limited. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were m oderately good, and in fair averag condi tion. The supply from Ireland was very limited ; but we were without any receipts from Scotland. All breeds o beasts 'commanded a steady sale, at an advance in the quotations compared with Monday last of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. The top price was ss. 4d. per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Le icestershire, and Northampton shire, we have received about 1,700 short horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 400 various breeds ; and from Ire land, 50 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep was limited, and the quality of most breeds was only middling. All descriptions of sheep were in good request owing to the favourable change in the weather, and the upward movement in prices in the dead markets at 2d to 4d per 81bs. advance in the currencies.
