EIPI"" - ONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL NTRILLIGENct TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is very active in consequence of numerous engagements connected with the In dian trade falling due to-day. The lowest rate in the open market is 10 per cent., the floating capital of the b ro k ers being rather limited. On the Stock 1, Exchange loans from day to day on Govern- Meat securities are not in brisk demand, and the quotations are 7i and 8 per cent. At the Bank of England yesterday there was an i c , ilg ur of £44,000, viz. ; £21,000 in bar gold, and '3,000 sovereigns from Alexandria, and there were no withdrawals. ~The position o f th e B an k o f E ng l an d s ho w s a Euclid improvement, although the bullion has been decreased.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF CHANCERY. (Beforo the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices.) RE OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO. (LIMITED) -EX PARTE GRISSELL-JUDGMENT. Their lordships gave judgment in this case this morn ing. This was an appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor Kindersley. It appeared that Mr. Grissell is a shareholder in the limited company of 0 verend, Gurney, and Co., which had been ordered to be voluntarily wound up under the inspection of this court, and he was therefore a contri butory under the winding-up. He was, however, also a depositor in the banking company to the extent of £16,000. He is a holder of 80 shares of £5O each, on which he has paid £l5. Another call of £lO has been made, and a divi dend is shortly about to be paid. Mr. Grissell applied to the official liquidator to allow the amount of calls he had paid to be set-off against his deposit, and that he should bo paid a dividend as a creditor. This being refused an application was made to the Vice-Chancellor that the liquidator should be ordered to pay the said dividend, and the question being whether on account of his being a contributory shareholder Mr. Grissell was not entitled to any rights as a creditor until all the creditors net contributors hit(' been paid in full, his honour was of opinion that the principles of the ordinary law of partner ship applied to this case, and that Mr. Grissell could not prove his debt as a depositor in competition with creditors not shareholders, that he was not entitled to any dividend till all other creditors had been paid in full, and refused the application. The present appeal was then brought, and it was urged for the appellant that the consequences of this decision would be that the whole benefit of the peculiar incorporation of limited liability companies would be taken away from the shareholders, that the limit of their liability was practically enlarged, and that they were practically placed in the situation, besides being a limited company, of being also a guaranteed association. Their lordships confirmed the decision of Vice-Chan cellor Kindersley, and ordered the costs of the application to be paid out of the estate. SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) THE LEGAL PROFESSION AND PUBLIC COMPANIES.-IMPORT• ANT POINT.- THE MERCANTILE LIGHTERAGE COMPANY (LIMITED) V. EARLE AND Co. This was an action to recover damages alleged to have been sustained by negligent navigation of defendants' ship. Mr. Farnfield appeared for the plaintiffs, Mr. Bernard being counsel for the defendants. Mr. Bernard said he had to raise a point before he could allow plaintiff's attorney to proceed with the case. He had to ask Mr. Farnfield if he was in a position to show that he was appointed under the seal of the company to appear for it on this occasion ? His Honour—Well, Mr. Farnfield, can you show this ? Mr. Fainfield—l cannot. His Honour—Then the case must be adjourned. Mr. Bernard—This case involves a most important point. His Honour said defendant must have his costs. LODGERS AND LANDLORDS -A NICE QT:ESTION-BUTLER V, PINKERTON. This was an action to recover the value of certain cloth ing stolen from the plaintiff while lodging in the defen dant's house, defendant being described as a lodging-house keeper. Plaintiff deposed that while he was lodging at defendant's house some thief got in and stole a quantity of clothes. Defendant urged that he could not be held to be liable, as he was not responsible for any loss that occurred from thieves. His Honour told plaintiff that he ought to have kept his door locked, so that thieves could not get in. Plaintiff said that it was the duty of a lodging -house keeper to protect his guests, and endeavoured to apply the Innkeepers' Act to this case, but his Honour ruled that the Innkeepers' Act did not at all apply, and that it was the duty of a visitor at a lodging-house to protect his own property. Verdict for defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A DRAPER'S ASSISTANT.—WiIIiam Henry Clarke, assistant to Mr. Edward Lloyd, draper, of No. 110, Tottenham-court-road, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with robbing his employer of several pairs of kid gloves. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. The prosecutor said—ln consequence of having missed several articles from the stock, and knowing that an article of a particular pattern must have been taken by some one in the house, I went to the police-station on Wednesday to request that a detective might be sent to my house. The officer came, but too late, the prisoner having when he arrived left the house. I had touched the prisoner as he was going out, and felt some property about him. Last night, as the prisoner was leaving, the officer being at the door, I called him back and took him into a private room, and in the presence of the officer said, "I think you have got some property 'about you belonging to me." The pri soner replied, " Why do you think that? I have not. Search me." I said, "I will take you at your word," and searched him, and took from his breast pocket six pairs of kid gloves. I then asked him if he had any more property about him, and the prisoner took from his trowsers pocket six more pairs of gloves and gave them to me. All the gloves bear my private marks on them. I then gave the prisoner, who had only been in my employ three weeks, into custody. lam sorry for the prisoner on account of his family. In answer to Mr. Lewis, the prosecutor said he went with the officer to prisoner's lodgings, but found none of his property there. Fisher, 32 E, corroborated a portion of the prosecutor's evidence, and said he found 7s. on the prisoner. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, who has a wife and young family, for a week. THAMES. FRAUDS ON THE DOCK COMPANY.—Nathaniel Neale, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with obtaining 2s. ad., by false representations, from the Lon don and St. Katherine Dock Company. The offence with which the prisoner stood charged has been practised to some extent on the dock companies by a number of idle fellows, some of whom have been prose cuted to conviction. Yesterday morning the prisoner was hired, with other labourers, by Mr. Richard Ginman, whar finger in the St. Katherine Dock, in the name of Neale, and a tin ticket, with A and a number upon it, was given to him, authorising him to be employed. Mr. Ginman missed him at 10 o'clock, and ascertained he was not at work. The prisoner was not at work all day. At 4n the afternoan he answered to the name of Stone at the pay-office of the A warehouse, and received a half crown from Mr. John Baker, the warehouse keeper and pay-master in the box. The money was put through the window to him. Mr. Ginman, who was standing by, and who , knew the prisoner had not been at work, said, " Your name is not Stone," and gave him into custody. The pri soner then said, "My name is Stone." He afterwards gave the name of Neale, and said he had been at work on the fourth floor among the coffee. There was was no coffee to work there. The prisoner waited on Mr. S. Kelsey, ano ther wharfinger at the E warehouse, at 10 minutes past 7 in morning, and received a ticket authorising him to work in the E warehouse. He did not join the gang there, and it is believed that if he had been successful at the A warehouse pay-office he would have made an attempt to obtain another half-crown. The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. Partridge com mitted him for trial. Mr. Partridge-1 suppose a good deal of this has been going on in the dock ? Mr. !slumlord, superintendent of the dock company's police, replied, " Yes, sir, there were four of these fellows yesterday, and if the prisoner had been successful the others would have attempted similar frauds." WESTMINSTER• STEALING A SHOPKEEPER'S TlLL.—Thomas Reid and Thomas liavanah, boys of 10 and 11 years of age, were charged with entering the shop of Mrs. Cox, 7, Regent street, Westminster, and stealing a till. Prosecutor said that she was sitting in her parlour last evening, when, hearing gi slight noise in the shop, she got up and IJoked, and fuuud the two prisoners crawling from behind the counter, one of them carrying the till. When they saw her Reid, who was close to her, threw down the till, and they endeavoured to escape, but were secured. Mr. Selfe asked whether anything was known of the bo: The police replied that they were both known, to tills. C+ ao Reid—l was only here be fore for some cakes. Mr. ISo Selfe—You e ii brother Y s °u otr has g e inon been cakes and g sent by the magistrate to Feltham Reformatory. The mother stopped forward and said that that was cer tainly true. Mr. Selfe—Do you pay anything for his maintenance ? The mother—We can't afford it. Mr. Belle—l shall send this second boy of yours to Feltham for three years, and, as I hear your husband can well afford it, I shall take good care that he pays for both. The country is not to be put to the expense of bringing up your children. It having been stated that the other boy was of the Catholic faith, Mr. Selfe ordered him to be remanded until arrangements could be made for getting him into an asylum of that class. The Bank of France return is exceedingly satis factory. The bullion has been increased £744,000 and the current accounts £733,420, while there has been a reduction of £410,000 in the bills discounted, of £50,000 in the advances on stock, Bcc., of £333,320 in the notes in circulation, and of £4,000 in the Treasury balance. Liberal Demonstration in Staffordshire On Wednesday Lord Alfred Paget gave an entertain ment to his political supporters and their female relatives in the grounds of Swinfen Park. There were two tents erected in the park, within view of Swinfen Hall; one of these was fitted up with a refreshment counter, and the other, capable of holding 600 people, was devoted to the entertainment of the invited guests. At three o'clock the large tent was occupied by upwards of 400 of Lord Alfred's male supporters, who were regaled with a good substantial repast. Unfortunately for the complete satisfaction of the guests, the weather proved unpropitious, the rain coming down heavily ; and, still worse, at the last moment, Lord Alfred forwarded the best of all reasons for his absence— an engagement at Court. In his absence, however, a speech was made by one of the members for the city, Major the Hon. A. H. Anson. There were also present the mayor (Mr. J. C. Maclean), Mr. C. Simpson (town clerk), Rev. R. Co wpland (incumbent of Weesford), Rev. R. W. Essington (vicar of Shenstone), Rev. T. 0. B. Floyer, Mr. Shemmonds (high sheriff), Mr. R. C. Chawner, Mr. C. W. Swinfen-Broun, Mr. T. A. Griffith, Mr. Cross key, Mr. James Broun, of Glasgow, &c. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been given, The MAYOR then proposed "The health of Lord Alfred Paget." (Cheers.) He was nut only an excellent new Liberal, but a very excellent old Liberal. (Applause.) Lord Alfred was a Liberal when it was not so fashionable as now to be a Liberal—when men had only the word Liberal on their lips, and not in their hearts. (Cheers.) They were all proud of Lord Alfred Paget, because he had never swerved from those principles which he had always professed, and had given many votes in favour of the mass of the people—not one section, nor one clique, but the whole entire mass. (Cheers.) They all knew his lordship, and would join, he was sure, in drinking very heartily and enthusiastically his health. (Cheers.) Mr. R. C. CHAWNER replied on behalf of Lord Alfred, and expressed his regret that his lordship was not present among them that day. Lord Alfred had done much for the constituency, and ho must have had many good qualities to have represented the same place for 27 years. He (Lord Paget) was not an orator, but he was a manly, straightfor ward Englishman. He never came before the voters and professed be would vote for any Liberal measure and not carry out that promise. (Cheers.) They never had been deceived by Lord Alfred Paget. (Loud cheers.) And he hoped that hereafter they might have something like the same qualifications in the men who affected to represent them. (Applause.) Mr. CROSSREY proposed " The Liberal Cause," coupling with the toast the name of Major Anson. (Applause.) In the course of his remarks he lamented that the ship Libe ral had struck upon a rock and been wrecked ; but ex pressed the hope that the Liberals of Lichfield would be more united and persevering than ever. Major the Hon. A. H. ANSON, M.P., said he had great hesitation as to whether he should attend there that day or not, as he understood at first it was a fete given by Lord Alfred Paget to his own supporters in the city of Lichfield; and at such a fete, had he been asked, he should, as a matter of course, been glad to attend. But he heard that Lord Al fred was not going to be there himself, and he thought that, under the circumstances, it was better he should stay away. But the mayor sent round a circular, which did not put it so much in that light as that it was to be a political meeting. The circular said:—" On Wednesday next a fete will be held in Swinfen Park, as a mark of respect to Lord A. Paget, and with a view of consolidating and strengthen ing the Liberal party in the city." After receiving that he thought, after what had taken place in the last session, it c harge that those who differed from the l ate G o v e rnment, would give some colour, if he st a yed away, to the absurd not so much on the question of Reform, as their manner of dealing it, were' really nothing e l se but Tories. So hee al his mind to attend, and he was very glad d ma g de up he had, because he found that that opinion did not exist amongst the Liberals of Lichfield, as they had coupled his name with the toast of the Liberal cause. As a matter of course he could hardly meet wih so many of the electors without referring to what had taken place in the House of Commons upon the question of refort. It had only been within the last year that the very advanced opinion upon the subject of reform they had heard from Mr. Cha wner had been looked upon as a part—an absolutely necessary part—of the Liberal creed. At the last election Lord Palmerston was in you er, and there was no statesman possessed the love and confidence of the people of this country more thoroughly than he did, and the question of reform was not made the cry of the hustings. Shortly after Lord Pa lmerston died, and Mr. Gladstone and Lord Russell came to be the leaders of the Liberal party, they made up their minds to bring in a Reform Bill, and that was a very proper determination to come to, but they were in a very great hurry about it. (" Not at all.") They had a new Parliament, consisting of a majority of 70, to support Lord Palmerston. The Go vernment brought the bill forward when there were no less than 70 seats contested. (" That's your old tale." Laughter.) He objected to the manner in which they brought the bill forward, the hurry in which it was introduced; secondly, he disapproved of the bill itself, and he thought Mr. Chaw ner had given ample reason for its being a bad bill. It was very complicated, and hardly had a good clause in it. (Oh, oh, and laughter.) The next objection he had was to the manner in which they pressed the bill upon the country, and he thought they deserved great blame for that amongst all moderate men ; and the manner they pressed it forward was bearing its fruits in the present day. They misrepre sented things said in the heat of debate by members of what were called the Adullamites, and, amongst others, by Mr. Lowe. (Hear, hear, and l a ughter.) There never was a grosser case or anything more unfair than the manner in which what he (Mr. Lowe) said about the working classes was brought before the country by Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright. (Applause.) Mr. Lowe made use of expres sions that were twisted into what they called slanders of the working classes of this country. (Hear, hear.) Lord Elcho was brought into the same boat, and he knew both well and intimately, and there never were two men less desirous of insulting the working classes. Mr. classesds thaurse: that Low venality Lowe h e w r a ea enwd drunkenness. pointing raumn kneng t ns o te a st shf. the fact w‘ w le h ar i c ao h ll la s n cs o leass m s aea classes.") )c greatouH could e dealdeny, u chal lenged any one to deny it. What had been said by the few wwewr words present guide, philosopher, and friend of the working classes—Mr. John Stuart Mill ? Why, he summed them D es u d u o l n b o e t li l e ie ve ; ü b uptitnhae Tia " b T itu h a e l u l p i p ar e s r . ela ( ss " it"—loud laughter.) These words were not said in the heat of debate, but in the calm quiet of the study. Not only that : Mr. Mill taxed all the present constituencies, not only in the small boroughs but in the large boroughs, with being venal and drunken—two of the very words used by Mr. Lowe in an argument against the ballot. He could only say that those members who steadily voted against the Government did so with the conscientious belief that the bill was a bad one, and not because they were renegades from the Liberal cause. They should not in a hurry forget the manner in which they were treated by the leaders of the Liberal party. They forgot that, there were such people as moderate men, as well as extreme men, and if they really were anxious to pass a bill, it was their duty to have considered all sections of the Liberal party as well as the most extreme party. They (the Adullamites) should not forget the manner in which they were misinterpreted when they were told they were saying one thing and meant another. (Right.) Nor should they forget the manner in which they were misre presented in what fell from the speakers of their party in the heat of debate. Nor should they forget the gentle manly language of Mr. Bright, who said they were " a set of dirty conspirators." (Quite true.) Above all, they should not forget how the Liberal leader of the party treated a cer tain section when he said he knew, or the Government knew, the men with whom they had to deal, treating them and filling the political air with suspicions unworthy of a man like him. But b e was glad to see that that sort of feeling on the part of the leaders was coming to an end. A short time ago, in East Kent, they caught an Adullamito— (loud laughter)—and they set to work to try him. But it seemed the electors of Bent were not able to make up their own minds on the case, and they got as a chairman Mr. Snatchbull-Hugessen, and appealed to him. Mr. Hugessen didn't know what to do with Sir E. Dering, and so he ap pealed to Mr. Gladstone and Earl Russell. Mr. Gladstone recommended them to pardon him, and he wound up with the following passage in his letter. He said—" We, the supporters of the bill, who have had occasion to feel how the spirit of suspicion poisons the atmosphere of politics, and renders hopeless what otherwise, though difficult, was practicable enough, should, I think, set an example of dis carding it, and of interpreting and treating others as we wish to be treated and interpreted ourselves." He only hoped the leaders of the Liberal party would walk in that direction. (" I hope he will." Laughter.) He believed the Adullamites were all good and true Liberals. ("No, no ;" and applause.) At all events, he had always been a mode rate Liberal ; he was one when elected, and he had not changed his opinionesinoe they elected him. (" You voted against everything." Loud Laughter.) Mr. Chawner had recommended that the cry should be howiehold suffrage ; he had never concealed his opinion that he would infi nitely sooner see household suffrage than the franchise re duced to £6 or £7, and he was equally against rental and rating. The way in which the late Government tried to deal with the question was not a settlement of the ques tion ; it was a bad plan ; and the proof was, that at all the meetings in London since there had been but one cry— manhood suffrage. (Applause,) If manhood suffrage and the ballot was what Liberalism meant, then be must cease to be what was called a Liberal. (" You have." Loud applause.) There was a large section of the Liberal party that were moderate in what they wanted' to see done in the constitution of the country. He had to thank them for the manner in which they treated him, and he honestly confessed they had received him more kindly thatihe expected to be received a t fi rs t. (" You know what you deserved." Loud laughter.) " The worst has to come." Roars of laughter.) Not because he thought he had done wrong, but because their motives and their conduct had been so grossly misrepresented by the ex treme press of the country. (" Three cheers for Glad stone ;" which were given with much spirit.) He had much pleasure in proposing the health of Mr. R. C. Chawner, the oldest friend of Lord Alfred Paget's in the city. (Loud applause.) He h a d always hoard that Mr. Chawner had by his energy done a great deal for the trade in that place, and the prosperity of the. neighbourhood ; and he believed that there was not a more popular person in the city. ile begged to propose the health of that gentleman, as an old friend to the city; and also as a friend to the Liberal cause. (Cheers.) Mr. CHAWNER having replied, and one or two other toasts having been given, the proceedings terminated. The rain at this time was pouring down very heavily, and with some difficulty the tent was cleared of electors, and about 600 ladies took possession of the place for tea. This was served in the most liberal style, and evidently gave an immense amount of satisfaction. Tea over, the weather cleared up, and dancing was resorted to, the Yeo manry band playing.—Birmingham Daily Post. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, BRIGHTON RACES—THURSDAY. The last day of the Brighton reunion was by far the most enjoyable of the three, for the weather, though threatening - at times, kept wonderfully fine. The strong wind, however, proved troublesome to the tentkeepers,who had enough to do to keep their establishments together. The attendance was, as on the previous days, large, and the Stand was extensively patronised, especially by the ladies, who to-day assembled in strong force. The impro vised stands had also their share of patrons, while the carriages which lined the course opposite the enclosure were well filled. The racing was under the auspices of the Brighton Club. The fields were uniformly small, and the various even:s c.lll for no special comment. Every feature is presented in the appended return.

We hardly know whether or not to hope that this may be so. On the one hand, it would be a relief to think that possibly the diseased state of mind out of which many of them must have issued may have passed away ; on the other hand, it would be an additional pain (certainly not wanted) to suppose that such corrupt and acrid thoughts could have proceeded from the very spring and blos soming of youth. For we do not know when we have read a volume so depressing and misbegotten —in many of its constituents so utterly revolting. Mr. Swinburne, in his address to Victor Hi.go, speaks of having been brought up in France ; and it would seem as if he had familiarised himself with the worst circles of Parisian life, and drenched him self in the worst creations of Parisian literature (to the exclusion of the better parts of both), until he can see scarcely anything in the world, or beyond it, but lust, bitterness, and despair. Being a poet, he sees beauty also, of necessity ; and this is the one redeeming feature in what would otherwise be a carnival of ugly shapes. But even the beauty of poetic expression, of which lie is so great a master, cannot hide the truly horrible substratum of a large part of the present volume. The writer seems to have taken pains to shock in the highest degree, we will not say English conventional morals, but the com monest decencies of modern lands. For the counter part of some of his subjects we must go back to the writers of antiquity ; and even in them we shall not find the jibing cynicism, the seemingly conscious re velling in the actual sense of evil, which throws such a lurid shadow over many of these pages. Mr. Swin burne deliberately selects the most depraved stories of the ancient world, and the most feculent corrup tions of modern civilisation, and dwells upon them with a passionate zest and long-drawn elaboration of enjoyment, which is only less shocking than the cold, sarcastic sneer with which (after the fury of sensual passion has vented itself in every form of libidinous metaphor) he assures us that these are not only the best things in the world, but better than anything we can hope for or conceive beyond the world. The strangest and most melancholy fact in these strange and melancholy poems is, not the ab sence of faith, but the presence of a faith which mocks at itself, and takes pleasure in its own degra dation. Mr Swinburne apparently believes in a God, for he makes use of his name with unnecessary fre quency; but, quite as often as not, it is to revile him for suffering the merest riot of the senses to end in disappointment and satiety. He seems . to have some idea of a heaven ; but he tells us in plain lan guage, and in several places, that it is a poor matter compared with a courtezan's caresses. He speaks o f a hell, but says he would gladly encounter it for one minute's hot enjoyment. To such faith as this we prefer blank atheism. The atheist may retain his belief in human nature, in goodness, i n :purity, in self-sacrifice, in the progress and perfection of the world ; and may move onward to the grave, in his sad hopeless way, with some thing of dignity and reverential awe. But a faith that laughs at itself, that insults its own deities and defiles its own temples—this is the wildest and the dreariest aberration of all. There are indeed pas sages in Shelley (written in his less hopeful moods) which seem to indicate that he believed at times in some malignant persecution of the human race—and these are very much to be regretted ; but they are the exceptions. Dominant above them all rises the poet's faith in the natural goodness of things, in the accidental character of evil, in the undying and un quenchable aspirations of the soul after moral beauty and nobility of living. Except as a system of ethics, Shelley rejected Christianity ; but he neither lowered humanity nor desecrated the world. Mr. Swinburne will at times talk in the language even of mediaeval faith, and the next moment will turn round with a sort of Mephistophelian laugh, and bid us revel like men in plague time, for there is nothing so good either here or hereafter. And then he will fall to cursing, because delight in excess has loathing and despair for its twin brothers. This is_ literally the spirit of a large part of his volume ;1 1 :: the truly beautiful and tender things he has in other parts, only make us regret the unhappy perversities by which they a c re aucceh°po ems as It is impossible to deny the power46oL es Noyades," " Laus Veneris," " phleira,"„ Faustine," "Do inino7D i: " Anactoria," " Fragoletta," Anactoria" and lores," Sze. ; but it is equaPY i they should have been written.possible to see why by sappho, and, beginning with posed to be uttered extravagance of passion, it ends in raging 4, Dolores" are espeeiallyhorrible.

THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH AND THE, KING OF PRU6SIA. Sir G. BOWYER asked the noble lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he had seen the despatch which had been published in the newspapers, to the effot,t that the Emperor of the French had made a demand for the rectification of the frontiers by the cession of cc t wi n territory to France ? He should like to know whet ter the statement was true, and also whether the noble lord could inform the house what answer had been made to the demand of Prussia ? Lord STANLEY said he had received information that communications had passed, and where now passing be,_ tween the Governments of France and Berlin, but NVlth respect to the nature of those communications he could give the hon. baronet no info mutton, neither could he give him any information with respect to the reply tiara had been given to the demand.
