BIOEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for discount accommodation is very moderate, the number of bills on offer being limited. T here is, however, a less supply of capital at the c ommand of bankers and others, but first-class Paper has nevertheless been readily taken at 8i and 9 per cent. Gold to the amount of £3,000 was received at the Bank on Saturday. The annual report of the directors of the Ebbw ale Company has been issued for the past 12 months, ending March 31. The balance of profit, incl uding the amount of £18,369, brought forward a mounts to £212,524 ; and a dividend of 15s. per s hare is recommended; this, with the interim divi dends of 10s. per share, already paid, is equal to the 83. per cent. It is proposed to add £26,000 to 'Fie reserve fund, £1,806 to the rail guarantee fund, a 4 to carry forward the balance of £19,172. A c all has been made of £3 per share payable on the 3 d July. The Panama, New Zealand, and Australian RoYal Mail Company have issued their rep ort W hich states that the receipts on the working ac e°llnt, compared with the previous twelve months, exhibits an increase of £31,037, which is mainly at tributable to the employment of a larger number ° f vessels. Against this there is an increase of £24 ,369 in the disbursements. The directors are enabled to recommend a dividend of 5 per cent., f ree of income tax, for the second half year, and to C arry over the sum of £4OO to the next account. Two O'CLOCK. The French Rentes, this morning, according to neuter's telegram, were 62f. 95c. Heavy. The Money Market is still comparatively quiet, and a little easier. At the Stock Exchange all the principal markets o pened very firmy, but in the afternoon there is leas ° Yaney. Nevertheless, Consols are 1 higher than Z 4,lll eY were at the close of business on Saturday, eing rday, 861 to 1 for transfer, and 861 to 87 L°r the account. There is very little desire vi need to enter largely into speculation, yet the to ne of affairs is improving. Foreign politics are no w tile principal check to an active revival of b usiness, since more confidence is felt in commercial circles, and the rate of discount is likely to be re dlice& A few investments have been made, not b °III Y in Consols, but also in the New Threes and "' e clueed Annuities.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled firm, and an advance of I.s. to 2s. per qr. took place in prices. The demand for spring corn, although by no means active, was steady at full quotations. The flour trade was quiet on former terms. On the continent the wheat trade is firm, and prices are on the advance. Spring corn has ruled steady at full quotations. The trade for wheat and flour at New York, however, is dull on easier terms. Linseed, the growth of the East Indies, owing to the active demand for oil for export to America, was in request on rather higher terms. Rape and oilseeds were also firmer, and commanded more money. In other seeds sales progressed slowly at about late rates. Cakes commanded morn attention, and prices were rather higher than on Monday last. _ The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad con sisted of 20,684 quarters of wheat, 15,617 barley, 6,6025 oats, 2,300 rye, 1,129 beans, 3,123 peas, 5,696 linseed, 19,320 rape and oilseeds, 7,341 maize, 351 sundry seeds, and .1,017 sacks of flour. _ _ Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat wore very moderate, but the condition of tho produce was good. Owing to the position of affairs in Germany factors were firm in their demands ; an advance of is. per qr. was realised; but at this improvement sales progressed slowly, and the whole supply was with diffi culty disposed of. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat The trade was firm for all descriptions, and although the amount of business transacted was very moderate, prices were is per qr higher than on Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain were firm, and wheat was rather dearer than on that day se'nnight. The supply of English barley on sale was limited, but there was a good show of foreign parcels on the stands. On the whole, the trade was steady at full currencies. In malt only a moderate business was transacted at late rates. _ _ Thera was a good supply of oats on offer. The trade for all qualities was very dull, and a further decline of Gs. per quarter took place in prices. Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled steady, at full quotations. Peas steadily supported late rates. The market was very moderately supplied. Tito flour trade was steady, and prices ruled firm. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASURE.

Yorkshire manu facturers are operating with great caution, owing to the financial embarrassments in several quarters, whilst Ger man houses—in consequence of the greater probability of war—are confining their purchases to the narrowest limits. The fall in prices from last series varies from I.d. to 3d. per lb. Privately, the English wool trade is dull at barely late rates. Central Criminal Court—This Day. OLD COURT.

There was rather an extensive show of foreign beasts here to-day, in fair condition. The supply of foreign sheep was good, whilst there was a fair number of calves on offer. Beasts moved off slowly on rather lower terms, but sheep and calves were steady in price. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were again moderate, but in excellent condition. Although the demand was by no means active, prime small breeds commanded rather more money than last week. A few breeds sold at 5s Gd to 5s 8d ; but heavy beasts produced from 5s 2d to 5s 4d per 61bs. There were no arrivals either from Ireland or Scotland. The Here fords and Devons were very saleable. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,200 Scots and short-horns, and from other parts of England 500 various breeds. The supply of sheep was tolerably good. Prime Downs and half-breds changed hands steadily, at full quotations ; but heavy sheep were a slow sale at late rates. The top figure was Gs per 81bs. Prime Lincolus realised 5s 4d to 5s Gd per 81bs. Prime lambs m6ved off freely at 8s per 81bs, but inferior lambs were a dull sale, on former terms. The supply was only moderate. The sale for calves was inactive, at late rates—viz., from 5s 4d to Gs 4d per 81bs. In pigs very little was done at last week's quotations The supply was only moderate.

The Recorder, in addressing the Grand Jury, said he regretted that the offences which would be brought before them in the discharge of their duty would be of a more than usually serious nature, as there were no less than seven charges of murder and four of manslaughter. Amongst the first mentioned there was the case of William Smith, who stood charged with the wilful murder of Sarah Masora, a person who, prior to her decease, occu pied the position of housekeeper to the Messrs. Bevington, wholesale leather dealers, No. 2, Cannon-street, West. The circumstances of the easy aie'sothewhat peculiar, and in order to arrive at a result they would have to be taken into consideration, aad judged of as to whether sufficient to bring home the capital charge to the prisoner. The unfortunate woman, it would be found, met with her death very shortly after 9 o'clock in the evening, when a ring was heard at the Street door bell, and the deceased went to answer it ; and remaining away from her apartment a longer time than was usual, her fellow-servant went to ascertain the cause of her absence, and then discovered the unfortunate woman lying dead at the foot of the stairs. The learned judge then went through the circumstances of the case which led to the apprehension of the prisoner, who was a person residing at Elm, and from a letter that was discovered amongst the papers of the deceased, it was sup posed that he was the person who had the interview with the woman on tho night of the murder. There were other circumstances which increased the suspicion against the prisoner, as ono of the witnesses deposed to the fact that he had said to a person in Eton, on the evening of the murder, and in time to enable him to carry out his intention, that he had forty miles to go before 11 o'clock. It also was shown in evi dence that the prisoner was seen proceeding from Eton after this, so that it was probable that he was carrying out his assertion about travelling the forty miles. The next important piece of evidence was that of a person who lived next door to the Messrs. Bevington's warehouse, who, being in the street, had her attention called to Bevington's premises by the slamming of their street-door at 10 minutes after 10 o'clock on the night of the murder, and to seeing a person walk off at a very rapid pace. Subsequently the witness picked out the pri soner from amongst a great many others, and positively identified him as the man she had seen in Cannon-street on the night of the murder. If the grand jury entertained any doubt on the evidence it would be better for them to throw out the bill ; the more particularly as the prisoner could be brought up again if additional evidence should at any future time be discovered against him, which could not be the case supposing he stood his trial and was acquitted, as no man, by the law of I♦.ngland, could be placed twice in peril for the same offence. The next indictment adverted to was the case of Stephens, charged with the murder of his wife at Edmonton. The prisoner in this instance admitted the charge, stating it was caused through jealousy, so there would be no difficulty in the case. There were two females, named Pratt and Bennett, charged with child murder, and hero the question in each case would be whether the children had boon born alive, and whether the death had been caused by vio!ence. The cases of manslaughter arose from the carelessness of those driving vehicles through the metropolis ; and with respect to the other charges they were of such a nature that no difficulty could be met with in their disposal. Tho grand jury then returned to their room, and tho trials in a short time commenced, the first case being devoid of interest. POLICE INTELLIGENOE.--This Day. BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.

A SOLDIER'S VISITS TO A CIVILIAN'S 1103IE.—A very respectable man, living at Chelsea, asked the magistrate if he would be good enough to tell him what he had better do with his wife, who was receiving the visits of a soldier of the Grenadier Guards. Applicant produced two letters of an amatory character, which he requested the magistrate would read. Mr. Belle having done so, inquired where ho got them from. Applicant replied that he took them from the postman on Saturday, who just came to the door at the moment he was going out. Mr. Selfe—How long have you been married ? Applicant Eleven years. Mr. Selfo—Have you any family ? Applicant—We had not until after this soldier had been in the habit for some time of coming backward and for ward to my house. Mr. Selfe—Havo you over said anything to your wife about this ? Applicant—Yes, soveral times ; but she denied it, and said I was'nt to think any more of it—it was all nonsense. Mr. Selfe—Havo you said anything to the soldier ? Applicant—l strongly suspected him. I spoke to him about it, but he said the same as my wife, that it was all nonsense. I was, however, not satisfied, and that made me look at the letters. What can Ido with my wife ? Mr. Selfe—lt is a delicate thing to advise in such mat ters ; but you will be perfectly justified in turning her out of doors after these letters. Applicant—l had letter get rid of her as soon as I can ALARMING FIRES. This morning, at ten minutes past seven o'clock, a fire, well nigh attended with fatal consequences, took place in the premises belonging to Mr. Bailey, boot and shoe dealer, 34, Union-street, Borough. The discovery was made by the inmates, who were awoke by finding their bedrooms filled with smoke. They immediately made an at tempt to get down the stairs, but were prevented owing to the suffocating nature of the smoke. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey then appeared at the second floor and screamed loudly for help, which brought con ductor Thomas Ball with the Royal Society's escapes to the spot, and he having pitched his machine against the house he ascended the same and brought down in safety the proprietor of the house and his wife. r The land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co., and others quickly attended, and owing to the combined exertions of the firemen and the conductor the flames were confined to the basement and the lower part`of the staircase. The origin of the fire is unknown. Other fires also took place on the premises of Messrs. Taylor, No. 11, Durringer-street West ; at Mr. Braddock's, 27, Onslow-square ; at Messrs. Ring, 153, King's-road, Chelsea ; at Mrs. West's, 12, Broadway, West minster 29, Glou ces t er - s t ree t, Commercial-road ich were attended by ; au d a t M East,rk s the firemen and Royal Society's con d uctors, b ut the damage done at the last-n ame d was not con- con siderable.

General Buckley did not pair against Lord Stan ley's motion on Thursday, b u t voted against tho Govern ment on that motion, and also upon Mr. Walpole's amend ment. (From the Sunday Gazette.) The marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Mary Adelaide Wilhelmina Elizabeth, youngest daughter of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, with his Serene Highness Francis Paul Charles Louis Alexander, Prince of Teck, will be solemnised at St. Anne's parish church, Kew, on Tuesday morning next, at 12 o'clock. Although the nuptials areto be conducted without State cere mony, the personal popularity of the Princess Mary, and the presence of her Majesty the Queen, their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and other members of the royal family, will cause the occasion to be regarded as one of great public interest. The church itself will not be prepared for the ceremony until after the regular services this day. Shortly after 12 o'clock to-night workmen will begin to remove the old-fashioned close pews, and will substitute chairs or other accommodation by which the largest number of spectators may be present. It is understood, however, that the pews will be restored afterwards. This part of the work will be undertaken by the Metropolitan Board of Works. The church is situate close to Cambridge Cottage. As a building it has few pretensions to notice despite its intimate associations with Royalty. It stands on the south side of the Green, with its porticoed entrance facing the gateway of Cam bridge Cottage. The exterior, over which the ivy climbs in great luxuriance, is partly bidden by the dense foliage of the lime, chesnut, and yew trees, I which surround the building. Inside the church itself there is much to interest the stranger, there being several marble tablets, among which are those erected to the memory of Jeremiah Meyer, the miniature painter, and Francis Bauer, botanical artist to King George 111., and also that of Thomas Gainsborough, the painter. The ceiling is arched, and supported on six pillars; the Royal gallery, de corated in front with the Imperial arms and escutcheons, is at the west end of the church. In consequence of the small size of the edifice the parishioners have given up their claims to be present, though, at the request of the Princess Mary herself, the tradesmen belonging - to Kew who supply Cambridge Cottage will have places given them in the church. The other parishioners are to view the marriage procession as it passes from the cottage to the church. For this purpose a low plat form has been erected on the left of the pathway, and has been strictly reserved for them. It was at first suggested that a covered way should be made, leading from the portico of the cottage to the entrance of the church, but it has now been arranged (weather of course permitting) that the procession shall walk in the open air, the distance being some 50 or 60 yards. The pathway will be covered with carpet, and it is stated that the school-girls belonging to the Queen's schools, in which the Princess has taken great interest, will line the path and strew it with flowers. Her Majesty and the other mem bers of the Royal Family will occupy places near the altar, and not in the gallery, as at first stated. The latter will be occupied by the servants of the Royal Family. The service will be performed by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Bishop of Winchester, the Rev. P. W. Nott, curate. The choir of the church will take part, and will sing the hymn " Both Jesus and his Disciples were called to the marriage," and the anthem by Tallis—" God be merciful unto us and bless us." Dr. Sole, organist of St. Anne's, will preside at the organ, and, at the conclusion of the service, Dr. Selle, who was tutor to her Royal Highness the- Priacess Mary, will play the "Wedding March." It is understood that the newly-wedded pair will spend the honeymoon at the seat of Earl Brownlow. The ladies who will act as bridesmaids are :—Lady Agneta Yorke, Lady Cornelia Churchill, Lady Cecilia Molyneux, and Lady Georg:ana Hamilton. The people of Kew will testify their goodwill to wards the Princess by the erection of a triumphal arch on the road beyond Kew-bridge, and which is to have an appropriate motto, and to be illumi nated at night. Workmen were busily employed in its erection yesterday. The band of a Hussar regi ment at Hounslow and a private band will give a performance of music in the afternoon and evening for the gratification of the visitors. To carry out these and other arrangements a local committee has been formed, with Mr. Pearce, of Burnage House, as their secretary. There is also to be a display of fireworks in the evening, but it is doubtful whether a bat! will take place. To those of the public who may intend to visit Kew next Tuesday, on the supposition that. they witness the passing of the marriage procession from the cottage to the church, we would say that there is but little chance of their doing so unless they are provided with tickets. Nor will those persons who may take a Lip to Kew before Tuesday receive any special gratification beyond that which is always obtained at this favourite place. The Rev. C. W. DENIs", in his correspondence from London for the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, thus describes the exciting scenes in some of the streets of this metropolis during the business hours of the memorable Friday, May 11th : LONDON, May 12th.—This great Babylon , w hich the English have built, has seen many and wonder ful excitements, but it has never witnessed anything like that which is at this moment transpiring. The position of your cor r espondent has required him to be in the midst of it all. The half has not been told you by the English newspapers, and it is not likely that it ever will be. On the contrary, the Times, in leading off, has shown more than its usual cun ning in keeping out of sight the real difficulties of this most extraordinary financial epoch. It will be impossible, however, even for that artful dodger to hide the final results. There has been a peculiar state of anxiety in cer tain influential commercial circles for some months past. The immediate crash, as Mr. Gladstone stated in the House of Commons last night, is sudden and unexpected ; but there arc many thoughtful men in England who have for a considerable time been anticipating that the storm would come. But few, if any, however, expected it to break so suddenly, and in such fury all around the sky. I came in from my quiet retreat in the outskirts of London—from that part called " Camden," where I keep up my pleasant memories of dear old Philadelphia—on the morning when the tempest was at its height. Nothing like it was ever witnessed in the United States, and it is admitted on all hands that such a sight was never before seen in England. It was past noon of Friday, the 11th of May. The City was crowded with strangers, many of them from the country, attending the religious anniver saries. Rumours of war between Austria and Prussia ran swiftly along the streets. The news boys were busier than usual, and their large letter placards more numerous. The report of the suspension of the large banking house of Overend, Gurney, and Company had been spread . far and wide, and now there was a general run on several of ' the local banks. From Threadneedle-street, where I entered on the scene, to Gracechurch-street, where I turned off in another direction, the throng packed the thorough fares all the way by the Royal Exchange, the Bank of England, the Lord Mayor's Mansion House, to Lombard-street and Birchin lane, where the offices of the falling house are located. There could not have been less than ten thousand persons, most of them merchants, bankers, commercial men, mixed with gaping countrymen and a few women. On, on, the crowd surged. Now they stopped a single moment, as some curious parties hedged the way, and the Dickens' cry of the policemen rose above the hum and buzz— " Pars Hon !" " Pars Hon !"—and on they passed by thousands. The wind was blowing almost a gale, and occa sional showers fell as only showers can fall in En o ' .- land, without a moment's warning. Crowd after crowd swept by the granite front and corners of the doomed banking-house, when there came a rumour, as if by magic. " There's trouble with the Joint-Stock Bank ?" " Then there's a failure of a bank in more than thirty towns in England," was the response. " A run on the Mercantile Bank 1' cried some one, in a half stifled voice. " The London County Bank is swamped !" said another. " Sir Morton Peto is gone !" some one whispered with a look of sadness that did him credit. The thron g now began to sway more and more violently to and fro, and there were at one moment intimations of violence—but no one seemed to know why. The women holding cheques for gold rushed up the steps of banks as if half frantic, and carriages containing retired citizens dashed along the kerbstones to the side-doors, where old men jostled • each other in eager haste to save their precious deposits. All business at the Exchange was suspended. The Stock Board was as barren of customers as the Desert of Sahara is of flowers. The contiguous newspaper offices were thronged, as the Bulletin was after "a great Union victory." Wild excitement ruled the hour. It spread wider and wider every moment, until just before the hour of closing banks the roar and rush of the people were absolutely fearful. At this moment the cry arose " Mr. Gladstone has driven to the Bank of England and offered a loan of £5,000,000 from the Government ! " This was immediately followed by the intimation that there would be no war, as Austria would submit to arbitration. The clouds began to lift a little, and the crowds in the street grew less. The business men gradually withdrew, and quiet resumed its sway with the setting in of night. The Worthing Mining Company (Limited) have received their usual advices from the Bremer mine, and they continue of a satisfactory character. The expenses of the month were £2,041 12s. 5d., and the quantity of ore raised during the same period was 330 tons of a better quality than of late. Remit tances received by this mail, £250. The directors of the Consolidated Bank have issued circulars to their creditors and shareholders proposing to re-open their establishment if their assent be obtained. Successful negociations are stated to have been concluded with the Bank of London, whose business the Consolidated took over, for returning the money received, less, of course, that paid away during the few days the business of the two banks were m i xe d. If the proposal be acceded to, the Co ns olidated will almost immediately renew operations, and on the the opening of the Bank the direct° rs p s r s o . p o ois etti the ioe l day of p l a ss y tt the creditors ss. in the pound in easi ( i ,5a o October, ss. on the Ist February, an June next, promissory notes being , terest at 5 per cent., whic h be at once readily 50th In order to n b (r e iv a e s n s , ot w ned ith ,‘ i , n ii - 1 ll i b r2, a n o k n , which an the n existing v o i b st e re m n a g d th e e o n f 5 t 11 0 e ,oo p o o s sharesa e a o l f la ° t t o h fp e a duce £200,000, or s h are s will be required, which would make £6 pad in up, £300,000.

Berkele y , of S p etc hley - park, ne ar that city, had been found dead in his father's grou n d at Spetchley-park. It appears that the young gentleman had been missing on Friday afternoon, but as it was thought he was at his farm (an adjoining estate to Spetch ley-park) no notice was taken of his absence until night, when, the family becoming alarmed, a search was made for him, and the telegraph was employed without effect. It was not until about midnight that his dead body was found lying in the shrubbery adjoining the grounds of Spetchley park. It appears the young gentleman had disease of the heart, so that the suddenness of his death was not altoge ther unexpected. It has, however, thrown quite a gloom over the neighbourhood.

The New York Commercial Chronicle, j us t received, has an article on " The Return of the Five-Twenties from Europe," which, as indicating the financial feeling in the United States, we transfer to our columns. The paper from which we quote occupies a similar position in America to the Economist newspaper here : " We have among us a certain class of financial men who profess to be in no small alarm lest the European holders of our securities should be led, under the pressure of the continental war panic, to send them back to this country in larger amounts than can easily be absorbed by our own investors. The experience of the last four weeks does not justify these tremulous forebodings. During that time, probably, ten millions of five-twenties have been imported here from European markets. Yet the whole amount has been absorbed, and a glance at our Stock Exchange report shows that the price is nearly one per cent. higher than when the return movement first set in. Suppose that during the next two months another ten millions should come this way, is there any reason for contending that a similar result would not recur ? Is it not extremely probable that with the rapid increase of capital seeking investment these bonds would be eagerly bought up ? For we must remember that these five-twenties are extremely scarce, and the demand from all parts of the country is growing with most active rapidity, while the supply is almost sta tionary. "There are two things, however, which render it probable that the return current of our securities from Europe will not, for any great length of time, be kept up. First, there are comparatively few of our five-twenties in England. Of the 350 millions of these securities which are in the hands of Euro pean holders, it is computed that not more than 50 millions are owned by British capitalists. Hence, if on the continent of Europe, in conse quence of the troubled state of the political atmo sphere, a considerably amount of bonds should be thrown on the markets they will be very likely to be taken up in Europe, where there is always an immense amount of capital waiting to invest itself in sound and safe securities. The firmness in Con sols indicates that the scare in the London money mdrket is passing away, and that the financial at mosphere is clearing up. " The same cause which has given a turn to British investments in the direction of Consols can scarcely fail to operate in favour of American secu rities, especially as all the securities of the conti nental Governments are temporarily depressed and avoided. "Secondly, there is in England a growing con viction which is permeating the masses of the people, and is obtaining more and more power over the monied and governing classes, that this country is well able to bear its load of debt, and that our unbounded faith in the vast resources and recuperative energy of the United States does not rest on a false foundation. This conviction has recently found ex pression in the House of Commons in a speech by the Chancellor of the 'Exchequer, Mr. Gladstone, whom no one will suspect of undue partiality. He observes that the debt of the United States is in itself something wonderful—wonderful as the crea tion of four years, strictly of four years, and no more ; and yet amounting to. nearly $3,000,000,000, or £600,000,000, and the rate of growth of the debt in the last year ex- ceeded, I think, £200,000,000. That is a wonder ful debt, and its charge is enormous. Well, now, looking at these figures, a man would be struck with something like despair ; but if we look at the position of the country which is to bear the burden, I must confess that I think the future of America, as far as finance is concerned—political problems are not now in question—will not be attended with any embarrassment. Ido not believe the debt will constitute any difficuity for the American people. lam confident that if they show with respect to finance any portion of that extraordinary resolu tion which on both sides alike they manifested during the war, and of that equally remarkable resolution with which, on the return of peace, they have brought their monstrous and gigantic establish ments within moderate bounds, I won't say that this debt, according to an expression whiCh was once fashionable in this country, will be a fleabite, but that - in a moderate time it will be brought within very small limits, and may, even within the lifetime of persons now living, be effaced. "In these remarks we see not merely what is thought of American securities by Mr. Gladstone, but they are still more valuable as an echo of British opinion, and especially of the opinion of British capitalists and investors. With such testi mony before us, we are still of the opinion we ex pressed recently, that in proportion as our securi ties leave Germany they will have a growing tendency to find a resting -place in England. We do not wish to be understood as favouring the re tention of our bonds in Europe. On the contrary, it is extremely probable that we are well able rapidly to absorb the wh o l e of them in this coun try, and that our fina nc i a l position would be stronger, or less open to disturbance, if none of our Government bonds were held abroad. Our argu ment amounts to thi s , th at there is little prospect simply four being able to get the foreign holders to part with their bonds, and that there are persons among us who fear that our monetary affairs here will be disturbed by the heavy importation of these bonds during the next two months."
