MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL ENTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. No change of importance has appeared in the market for loans and discounts, the terms being almost the same as they were on Saturday after noon. Nevertheless, the tone has been easier, and some three months' bills of a superior class havebeen negotiated * under the official rate of the Bank of England. The amount of £5,000 was taken from the Bank on Saturday. From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week state that business generally has been steady, although the approach of the close of the year, when balancing and stock-taking opera tions are in progress, has in some measure retarded operations. At Manchester both cloths and yarns have been dealt in at enhanced rates. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudderfield has been seasonably active, while at Leicester and Nottingham there has been rather less activity in the hosiery and lace departments. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton a fair business has been done in most departments, and manufacturers generally are Well employed upon contract orders. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram the 3 per Cent. French Rentes were quoted at 68f. 72c. Heavy. Quotations in the English Stock Market have continued at the low prices of Saturday.

MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. There was rather more activity in the wheat trade in the country markets held on Saturday. The demand, however, was chiefly confined to good and fine dry sam ples, which in some instances changed hands at rather more money. The barley trade was very dull, and the quotations had a drooping tendency. Oats, beans, and peas ruled firm. In flour a fair business was transacted, at late rates. Advices from New York report increased shipments of wheat and flour from that port to Great Britain ; never theless, the leading transactions were at reduced rates. On the Continent the corn trade generally is steady. Fresh up to our markets to-day the arrivals of English wheat weio moderate, but the condition of the produce was bad. The few dry samples on offer changed hands at fully last; Monday's currency, but damp parcels. were very difficult of disposal. In their value, however, as com pared with Monday last, no quotable change took place• At the close of business, a total clearance of the supply had not been effected. There was a moderato supply of continental wheat on the stands ; but with American produce the market was scantily supplied. The amount of business transacted was somewhat restricted ; nevertheless, prices generally ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, at full currencies. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASIME.

The supply of foreign beasts on offer here to-day was only moderate—of foreign sheep tolerably good. Some of the stock came to hand in prime condition, but most of it was of inferior quality. For the most part sales progressed slowly, at about stationary prices. Tho arrivals of English beasts fresh up this morning were moderate, and iu improved condition. From Ireland and Scotland the receipts were about average ones for the time of year. Nearly all breeds moved off slowly, never theless the prices current on Monday last were supported. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s to 5s 2d per 81bs. There were a few good beasts on show from Norfolk being the first of the season, which has commenced some what earlier than usual. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received about 2,000 short horn; &c., from Norfolk 200 Scots, from other parts of England 700 various breeds, from Scotland 271 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland 300 oxen, cows, and heifers. With home-fed sheep we were again but moderately sup plied, but there was an increased number of prime breeds in the pens. Most qualities of mutton moved of slowly, nevertheless the quotations were tolerably firm. The best Downs realised 6s 4d to 6s 8d per 81bs. Calves were in short supply and steady request, on rather higher terms. The quotations ranged from 4s to 5s per 81bs. _ __ - Prime small pigs were in fair request, at full prices, but large hogs were very dull.

All details that are furnished by an eye witness are immeasurably superior to any other species of information, and thus the reader may be glad to embrace this opportunity of improving his knowledge of these eventful scenes here recorded. In this portion we meet with an amusing and in teresting description of an expedition undertaken by the writer to the camp of General Jackson. Among other objects for his journey he had to pre sent " to old Stonewall, as a slight token of Stuart's high regard, a new and stunning uniform coat, which had just arrived from Richmond." Stone wall Jackson at first demurred to the gift, as too grand and gorgeous for his use ; but upon being persuaded he donned it, and great was the delight it caused to the army. The rumour of the change from the old weather-stained coat, from which the hands of patriotic ladies had slipped the buttons to the grand new attire, ran like electricity through the camp, " and the first wearing of a guest robe by Louis the Fourteenth, at whose morning toilet all the world was accustomed to assemble, never created half the sensation at Versailles that was made in the woods of Virginia by the investment of Jackson in this new-regulated uniform." " Miss Marjoribanks" is continued at some length, and is very interesting in its descriptions. Lucilla has now passed the period to which she looked forward in bygone days, and has actually spent ten years at home as she said she would. In this instalment the clever leader of society in Carlingford gets into a difficulty, from which she extricates herself in her usual dashing and daring wanner. The reader will look forward with interest to the finale of the en counter between Mr. Cavendihy and Mr. Ashburton, once Lucilla's quondam admirer and the expected successor to the representation of the town, and the other the new man concerning whom Miss Marjoribanks had experienced such a spirit of divi nation, and who was resolved to go in for the re presentation of Carlingford, audto fight a l'outrance. " The Handy Horse-Book" is a readable sketch on this attractive subject, and it is well said that "ef the things on which all people imagine they can talk, and yet of which the number who really know anything is very small, the horse is most conspicu ous." Some useful remarks are here met with, and many a self-sufficient individual may find his con ceit evaporate as he attentively peruses the details here presented to his notice. Valuable information is also imparted concerning divers matters con nected with horses, the text of the article being fur nished by a work recently published on the subject by a cavalry officer. " Sir Brook Foss brooke" is continued, and that erratic individual proceeds in his usual manner, and makes friends and enemies at every turn. Mrs.f Sewell is, like her husband, a most dangerous character, and Lucy is likely to get into trouble through their agencies. A very interesting article is that entitled " Educators," which brings before us some considerations on a subject worthy of all attention, and in these days prominently before the public. We here meet with some of the great errors which are made, and have been made, by those who seek to be too precise and are so didactic that they forget the great effect of influence when they frame their stern rules. Miss Edgeworth and her father were at great pains to draw up a code, but their model child would have been quite unfit for the duties of life, and would have lost some of its best lessons. In concluding this excellent article the writer puts before us in plain terms the dangers and difficulties which menace those who are led away by their own theories instead of putting their precepts into practice that may benefit their charges. " Does the tutor modestly call himself a teacher, or does he adopt the ambitious tone of a former and master? The two views were once defined in a few words by Professor Wilson, as, after listening with a growing impatience to a lecture on education by Dr. Whately, he took a friend's arm as he hurried away, and muttered in his ear, " I always thought God Almighty made man, but he says it was the sjhoolinaster. ' " Cornelius O'Dowd" furnishes us with another series of reflections, among which we this month meet with some remarks on Lord Palmerston, which are distinguished for dis crimination. " Brace of Travellers" transports the reader to the distant climes so well depicted by these able pioneers, and cannot fail to attract. " Our Invisible Capital" contains some striking re marks, which some wedded to old prejudices would do well to read and wisely consider. DUBLIN.—"Not 'Wisely, but too Well" is con tinued, and Kate's character is being more and more developed. Her frank nature and straightforward bearing exhibit themselves in striking contrast be side the triviality and littleness of her cousins, who figure prominently upon the scene in this instal ment. In Kate we find the elements of a kind dis position, and qualities that might have made their owner great and good had she been happily trained in early life and subjected to better influences. " The Discipline of Valerie Gore" is completed, and although very melancholy in some respects, the tale is interesting, and furnishes a striking warning to those who give way Ito pride and vain glory. Poor Valerie had much to go through before she put down her besetting sin. It has been truly said that, like iron, some tempers can only be moulded by fire. A new tale is com menced, called "Number Five, Brooke Street," which promies well, so far as we can judge from the beginning. We meet with some brilliant descrip tions of society and some smart sketches of charac ter, such as can readily and effectively be delivered in the details of a large party in a country house. " The Relations of England with America" form the subject of an article which is well written, but in which the writer inclines too much to the side of the Americans. It is really quite out of character for such expressions as this to be used—" If a per manent good understanding between England and America be possible and desirable, by what means shall it be brought about ? An improved tone re garding America in our own Press ought surely to be expected ; there is no cause to produce irrita tion." It may certainly be suggested that the re verse of the picture is the correct one, and that it is the tone of the Press across the Atlantic that needs modification. Nothing can be more mis taken than the notion which prevails in some quarters that all freedom of speech and writing in this country is to be checked, in order that foreign nations may not be offended or excited. It is just the way to bring down the dreaded evil, and we have had quite enough of tame subserviency to those who pay no respect to our opinions. " Beatrice," a verse-drama, is continued, and is exciting in its descriptions. " Vestiges of the Picts and Gael" contain much interesting information concerning that early race who, in their rude sty le and uncultivated ways, displayed bravery and en durance that have made their names famous through all time. Another interesting article is given on " Glastonbury Abbey, Past and Present. The Rise and Influence of English Monachism." It is well worthy of perusal, and presents us with a detailed account of the chief incidents that occurred during the eventful period referred to. " Early Celtic Stories" are peculiar, but may suit the taste of an tiquarians ; and also we meet with a continuation of " Scenes in the Transition Age, from Caesar to Christ." " Sir Thomas Wyse's Journal of Greek Travel" suggests some appropriate remarks on the subject, and there is truth in the tribute paid to him, that he was a man who served his country and his kind with earnestness and judgment. FRASER.—Fraser opens with an essay upon the " Politics and Prospects of Spain," which at the present crisis is especially worth attention. The grave and stately Spaniard seldom enough comes under the notice of his more active, quicker-witted, and more energetic European neighbours, his Government is currently believed to be passing through a perpetual crisis, his finance to have realised a hopeless dead-lock. Yet, to the amoazen ment of both hemispheres, he has suddeniyslw , 1 Go that he possesses energy enough for rais s c s hief ion, and vernment enough to organise an aggression, to resources enough to make himself more solvent people. Thee before us takes a brief and graphic survey of e po litical situation of Spain since the accession of Isabella the Second in 1833, passing through the troubled years of the Regency down to the very latest aspect of It is remarked that the political horizon. " a Spanish Cabinet may be compared to a Chili house, constructed on a calculation that an earthquake will occur within the year ; and although other countries may have undergone some what similar trials for a period, a crisis lasting more than a quarter of a century without producing an actual revolution, is, we believe, unparalleled in the annals of constitutional government." The readers of Fraser will rejoice to see the welcome initials A. K. H. B." appended to an essay beginning with the familiar word " Concerning," and this time the pleasantly discursive essayist takes for his subject the topic of Roadside Stations, " with some thoughts," we need scarcely be told, " on the termi nus ad quern." " Days of Derry" is a well-written tale of the dismal days of a siege many a long gene ration since. " Fiction and its Uses is a pleasant essay, by no means without its moral, for in these busy, overwo r k e d, h urry i ng d ays , th e value of rest and recreation is too often overlooked. Of mere excitement, in one form or another, we have more than enough; of pleasure-seeking and new work put on the overdriven brain and nerves, under a specious title, for of real healthy rest and diversion of the mind, something that takes us away from the weary every-day round into a fresh scene, and amid new actors, we have far too little. " Innocent en joyment," exclaims the writer, " how good a thing it is ! It keeps the temper sweet, and when it is mixed with love and thankfulness and sunny days, brings us some of that spirit of pure, gentle, peaceable wisdom which we might aptly name after Izaak Walton." The clever and interesting story of " Gilbert Rugge" is continued. The author of this tale and its predecessors abjures that sensa tional style which is the mischievous fashion of our own day, and although after, a novelists' indisput able custom, he brings the great catastrophes of life to figure on his scene, they make their appearance after the good old manner, and the interest of the narrative rests mainly on its characters, not on their crimes and disasters. The story of " The Beau clercs" is also continued, and there is a lengthened and appreciative, though somewhat severe, criticism on Mr, Carlyle. COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY.—It is :110t very diffi cult for the readers of the New Monthly to guess the subject of the first article, " The Electric Girdle Round the Earth." It is remarked at the outset that when we consider the progress made in tele graphy during the last fifty years what may we not expect of the next quarter of a century? " The creation of the electric wire in England only dates twenty-years ago, and the short line from Baltimore to Washington does not date back half a century. Yet the system has already assumed a colossal ex tension. Europe is intersected by a network of wires. In North America, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are brought together at points, and will soon be so in directions still more important to British interests, as from Newfoundland to British Columbia, and from Halifax to Victoria. In Europe and in Asia the electric telegraph extends from Gibraltar to Kiachta, on the frontiers of China ; and from Edinburgh to Constantinople ; and, again, from Constantinople to Rangun, in the kingdom of Pegu. India, the colonies of the Cape, Australia, and North Africa have adopted the system, and it is almost daily extending itself in South America." The submarine line to the great Continent of the West is the branch of the subject chiefly dwelt upon, and the merits of the various routes proposed are examined. Francis Jacox con siders " Toil as a Boon to Sorrow," and he does not find it difficult to collect passages in prose and verse to substantiate his case. It has been well and truly said; that labour was God's gift to Adam in his first great grief and desolation, and that the ex perience of all successive ages has found no better remedy. Cyrus Redding always deserves respectful attention, from his venerable rank as a contributor to the New Monthly, but he might really have found some more gracious subject than the demolition of Gray's beautiful old Elegy. After the fashion of Shakspere's would-be improvers, he examines it line by line, touching it up and making alterations and emendations of various kinds. But the fact is, that its faults, if faults it has, are dear to all lovers of poetry, and whether or no Mr. Redding is to be included in such, it is certain that he is disposed very greatly to curtail the poet's privileges, and to keep him to the rigid matter of fact. The critic takes everything an pied de la lettre. He objects to a " living" lyre, to a yew tree with a shade, and an el: without it ; he is equally indignant with a pure ray being called " serene," because it must necessarily be so, and with a heart being " pregnant with fire," because it cannot possibly be so ! As an improvement on the line— Some frail memorial still erected nigh," our critic would have us believe that " still erect" was intended, a conclusion enough to bring metri cally correct and melodious Gray up from the grave ! We must do Mr. Redding the justice to add that he expresses the warmest admiration of Gray and his poems, the faulty elegy included, which makes it more surprising that he should examine them like the stop-watch critic at the theatre, who measured the declamation of genius by the number of minutes it took, or like the editors of our " improving" school reading book, who arrest you in the middle of the finest passages IN ith a question about the case of a substantive or the relation of verb and pronoun. " Idalia" is continued, and the story approaches a crisis. " Lilian's Inheritance," a romance of Anglo- Mexican life, promises interest. THE UNITED SERVICE.—This number commences with a sensible paper on " Promotion by Choice," a subject of the utmost importance not only to the army, but to the country which depends on that army for its independence, perhaps its very safety. The author says that he proposes to examine the question in a spirit of impartiality, for, though him self an officer, his days of service belong to the past, so that he has nothing to hope or fear in the way of promotion, nor, indeed, to complain of. His testimony may, therefore, be taken as honest, and his opinion, if not altogether just or correct, is at least perfectly patriotic. The question of promo tion . has long been a vexed one. It affects the sol dier the ranks, but more especially the officer, who is seldom contented with his lot, for, however high his position, there is still an Alp above him, and his ambition is ever lo o ki ng u p. Thi s i s natu ral, but so too is one's forgetfulness of his own com petency, for it is one thing to be a fine swell on parade, but quite another to excel on the field of battle, or in the more trying difficulty of a retreat which tests a man's capacity to the very depths, for on his generalship may depend not only the safety of the army, but the ultimate safety of everything depending on that, so that promotion by choice may be good or bad, just as it " turns up." The " long stagers" on the forlorn hope of promotion, where the heart sickens but wears on, cannot look with complacency on the young upstart placed over their heads, not once or twice, but ever and anon, and that, ioo, often irrespective of qualification or ability. " Money makes the mare to go," or favour covers a multitude of sins, on the abrupt and rugged road to promotion. Sometimes it is luck, but luck generally favours the brave. Our author thinks routine—that is the ordinary service or time—may be confined to a certain rank, say a captaincy, and after that choice may select the proper man founded on a just discrimination. In fact, he is fortified in this opinion by the authority of Lord Stanley, who is as much the true friend of the soldier as he is the patriot statesman. The recent American war, like the war of the revolution in France, has served greatly to bring forth impromptu men of talent, whose original quality is daily improved by expe rience, to justify promotion by choice, while the old system of favour has been the ruin of nations, by giving the command to incompetency. This has been exemplified by Austria, who gives to princely incapacity what ought to be conferred on merit. In the late war of 1859 the French said, very cha racteristically, of that system, that while the Aus trians " make princes and counts generals, we make good generals dukes." In the majority of instances it takes a long time before it can be made out what a man is fit for, and this is the root of all the evils appertaining to promotion by seniority—which would seem to justify that by choice when merit becomes conspicuous by accident or by some brilliant achievement. We commend this article to those in the proper quarter as the phrase runs, who should remember the line written by Johnson from his own experience.— " Slow rises worth by poverty depressed." " Tristram's Overhaul of Prince de Joinville s French and American Navies" is now concluded, and a pretty severe dressing the naval prince and critic has got, and that very deservedly. " On , Re treats" is an interesting subject, well handled. S , o , is the article on the " o rganisation of cavalry." The new gunpowder invent ed by Ca Captain Edward Schultze, of the Royal Prussian Artillery, is a vast improvement on the prese nt " villanous saltpetre, ' and promises soon to b ecome a general favourite both for its efficacy and economy, being four times m ore powerful than that in use, and better in every res pect for cleanness. " Sai lors ' Homes" and " Pro -1 visions for Troops on Board Ships," with several o ther topics, are well discussed. MACMILLAN. --Miss Yonge's interesting story of "The Dove in the Eagle's Nest," comes to a con- 1 elusion with the last month of the year, a f ac t w hi c h its readers will regret, even while they feel that the record of Christina's work is fitly comp l ete d . H er husband returns from his long captivity to die at peace in his old home, amid the wonderful changes which his little bride has wrought. One of her twins passes early to his rest, but the other lives to carry out her teaching, and become honoured and respected by a far wider circle than the grim Adler steins once ruled over. The story shows an inti mate acquaintance with German history of those troubled earlier centuries, and is interesting from the picture of that quaint social life, as well as from the life-like delineation of character, which is always Miss Yonge's forte. An additional " Letter from Egypt," by Lady Duff Gordon will be read with interest and pleasure by all who have already seen her attractive book. Those who have not will be tempted to turn to the volume where such animated descriptions and kindly sketches initiate the cold and reserved Englishman into the innermost circles of Arab domestic life. T he next article is one that d eserv es attentive study by al l our sanitary re formers. It narrates the wonderful story of the Broad-street visitation of cholera in 1854, when it was almost indisputably proved that the f am ous Broad-street pump was the origin of an attack which occasioned 700 deaths, in Broad-street a lone, first decimating a population of less than 900. The gentleman who writes this account, the Rev. Mr. Whitehead, was a curate in the parish at the time, and was actively engaged in visiting the sick and dying patients. He afterwards formed on e of the Committee of Inquiry, which was appointed by the vestry of St. James's to inquire into the pos sible origin of the catastrophe, and the information he gives respecting it may well startle the indiffe rent, and urge on committees and inspectors to re newed efforts in these days when we are threatened by a return of the dire epidemic. The wild an d strangely told story of Cradock Mowett proceeds Vividly and chronicles many wonderful event s . Among the best of the remaining articles is a brief tribute to the memory of Mrs. Gaskell, of whom it is truly said, that " she wrote as the birds sing, because she liked to write and ceased writing when the fancy left her ; and the result of this was that all her works have in their way a degree of per fection rare in these days." It is a singular fact that Mrs. Gaskell began her literary career late in life. " She was a mother with many children, a wife approaching middle age, when she became an authoress." It is a touching statement that she wrote her most popular work, " Mary Barton," to endeavour to divert her mind after a great sorrow, the loss of her only son. In concluding his estimate of Mrs. 'G as k e ll' s pos i t i on as aut h oress, t h e cr i t i c justly says, " Other novelists have written books as clever, and many have written books as innocent ; but there are few, i n d ee d , w h o h ave wr itt en wor k s which grown-up men rea d w i t h d e li g h t an d ch i ldren might read without injury."

On Saturday evening last, at about five o'clock, a most determined attempt was made to murder Mr. Henry Hus, a moderator lamp manufacturer, carrying on business at 40, Princes-street, Stam ford-street, by William Shirley, a young man who had been in his employment. Shirley appears to be of a roving disposition, and had left Mr. Ilus's employ to go to sea. Returned from seeing foreign countries, he called at his former master's workshops in Roupell-street, Lambeth, and asked for a character, as he was about to obtain a situation as guard on a railway. Mr. Hus agreed to fill up the usual paper, but this did not satisfy the man, who flew into a passion, and suddenly fired one of the barrels of a re volver at the left side of his former master's head. The ball entered the throat under the eai. The shock shook him much, but observing Shirley about to shoot at his head a second time, he put up his left hand to save his face, and a second ball passed through the palm of his hand. Mr. Hus then grappled with his assailant, and, being a powerful man, he managed to force him on one knee and dis armed him of the revolver. Determined to preserve his own life, he discharged one of the loaded barrels at Shirley's throat ; but, his aim being rather high, the ball merely entered the fleshy part of the neck on the left side and passed out obliquely on the right. The calls of Mr. Hus of "Murder," and the report of the three pistol shots, here brought assistance, and a man named German, when going into.the place, met Shirley in the passage bleeding profusely from the wound in the neck. When asked by German what was the matter, he said his former master, Mr. Hus, had shot him. Both were then re moved in cabs to the Tower-street Station house, Waterloo-road, and were promptly attended to there by Mr. Blades, the divisional surgeon. He ultimately extracted a ball from the throat of Mr. Hus, and, singular to say, it was as flat as a sixpence. The doctor next attended to and dressed the wound on the left hand, ak i Well as that on the throat, and ultimately examined the wound on Shirley, which he found not to be of a dangerous character, the ball, as before stated, merely passing through the fleshy part of the neck. Mr. Hus was subsequently removed to the house of a friend. He is going on favourably. Shirley remained at the Tower-street Station, and he is going on well. He will be taken this morning to Southwark Police-court to be examined before the magistrate. EXAMINATION OP THE PRISONER-THIS DAY This morning the prisoner Shirley was placed before Mr. Woolrych, at the Southwark Police court, charged with shooting with intent to murder. He is a strong and active young man, about 28 years of age, and from appearance had been fol lowed a sea-faring life. The rough blue coat which he wore was in parts clotted with blood and bore evidence of a very violent struggle. The pistol with which the wounds were inflicted was one of the old-fashioned five-barrel revolver, about five or six incheslong, of the cheap Birming ham manufacture. Witnesses were examined, whose evidence was merely a repetition of the above facts. Dr. Corbett Blades, of 171, Kennington Park road, said he was called to attend Mr. Hus and the prisoner. He found both suffering from wounds, but those of Mr. Hus were very alarming. The principal wound on Mr. Hus was one near the left jaw. He was for some time unable to discover the exact position of it from the excessive hemorrage that had taken place. On removing the blood, he found that the injury was just under the left jaw, and on probing it he found it to be a very deep one. He was successful in extracting the bullet, which he now produced, four inches from the orifice of the wound. The bullet had struck against the jaw, and became flattened by the contact. He also found a ragged wound at the back of Mr. Hus's hand, which had also been produced by a pistol shot. Mr. Hus was unable to attend that day. Mr. Woolrych—Do you consider him to be in a dangerous state ? Mr. Blades—The wound in the throat is a very dangerous one, though not necessarily mortal. The great fear now arises from inflammation ensuing. Mr. Woolrych—He is wounded then in a very dangerous part. Mr. Blades—The wound is an inch and a quarter beyond the carotid artery on the left side, which, if it had been injured, death must have instantly en sued, as he must have bled to death. Mr. Hus is, however, now going on favourably, but he is quite unable to attend to-day. He is a foreigner, and when he is spoken to on the subject he becomes very excited, and thus the muscles become agitated and the wound reopens. Mr. Woolrych—You examined the prisoners wound, did you not ? Witness—Yes, but it was merely a skin wound on the back of the neck ; it had, however, arisen from a gun or pistol shot. Mr. Woolrych—The wound is in a very dan gerous part, is it not? You don't think that a person would chose such a part to inflict only a trifling injury to himself. Witness—Decidedly not. He would choose the fleshy part of the arm in preference. Mr. Woolrych (to prisoner)—Do you wish to ask the witness any questions? Prisoner—No, sir, I've nothing to ask. Mr. Woolrych—As the.prosecutor cannot attend the court and give evidence, I shall remand this case for a week. I suppose the prosecutor will be able to attend that day. If not, we can remand the prisoner again for a short time, in order to send him for trial at the next sessions of the Criminal Court, which commence on the 18th inst. The prisoner was then removed by the gaoler. He walked from the court with the utmost uncon cern. Alarming Fire. Late last night (Sunday) a very alarming and destructive fire, nearly attended with fatal conse quences to a woman and four children, took place on the premises belonging to Mr. Barnes, a blind maker, situate at No. 5, Belvidere-place, Cam bridge-road, Bethnal-green. The discovery was made by a female living in the house, by finding flames rushing up the staircase with such fury that neither she nor her four children could make their escape by the regular means. The whole of the endangered persons made their appearance at one of the front windows, and some of the neighbours having procured a table they got upon the top of it, and pulled the woman and chil dren out, and they thereby escaped a horrible death. Conductor Edinburgh arrived with the Royal Society's escape, and he entered the front and back rooms in search of other parties missing, but fortunately the whole had effected their escape. The engines of the parish and London brigade quickly attended, as well as Shand and Mason's land steamers, and plenty of the East London Company's water having been procured, the fire men went to work under the directions of Mr. Gatehouse, the foreman of the district, and they happily succeeded in confining the flames to the building in which it originated, but the fire could not be extinguished until the house and contents were nearly destroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown. Liverpool Cotton Market—This ray. Cotton Market excited. Sales will probably amount to 30,000 bales. THE LIVERPOOL COTTON SALESMAN AND THE BALLET GlRL.—Francis Reginald Stathan, who was re cently committed by the local magistrates on the charge of embezzling £2,500, the money of his emp lo y ers, Messrs.

The stakes were £lOO, and the course was from Putney to Barnes Bridge. The usual preliminaries were gone through, and at a quarter-past three both men rowed to their respective stations, Wise takingthe Middlesex shore, and Kilsby the opposite. At starting, Wise took the lead, and gradually increased it to between two and three lengths off the Crab Tree. Nothing oc curred of anyimportance until the two men reached Chiswick Eyot, where several barges lying off there caused Wise to go outside the craft, and Kilsby, by rowing inside, was enabled by that lucky chance to considerably to decrease the lead of his opponent. but when they cleared the barges Wise was still leading by about two lengths, which he soon in creased to six or eight. After they crossed the water, which was very lumpy, Wise was completely at sea, as we may say, as he seemed to be entirely at a loss how to get through the surf. Kilsby seeing the difficulty in which his opponent was involved, put on an ex tra spurt, and seemed as if he was going to over haul him, but, nearing the bridge, the water was somewhat smoother, and thus Wise was enabled to row in a winner by about two lengths. Betting at starting was 2 to 1 on Wise, but during the race 20 to 1 was bet on him. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAPTURE OF A FENIAN PIKEMAKER ON THE CHARGE OF TREASON.—Timothy Hagarty, a black smith, residing at Moss-alley, Great Guildford street, Southwark, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt by Davidson, 301 A, by whom he was taken into custody on a warrant signed by Mr. Richard B. Tooker, one of the Justices of the Peace for the county of Kent, and backed by Mr. Knox, charging him with, while in the county of Cork, for several months past being engaged in making pike-heads for an illegal society called " Fenians," and for treason able purposes, and for levying war against the Queen. It having been proved that the prisoner was the person named in the warrant, Mr. Tyrwhitt told him that he would be handed over to the proper officers and taken to Cork, whence no doubt he would be remitted to Dublin. The prisoner was subsequently taken away by two of the Irish constabulary. A SOLDIER CHARGED WITH ROBBERY AT ST. GEORGE'S BARRACKS.—James Williams, a private of the 3d battalion of Grenadier Guards, was charged beforo Mr. Tyr whitt with stealing a £5 Bank of England note and £9 in gold and silver, the moneys of Charles Allen, drill and colour sergeant, of the Grenadier Guards. Sergeant Allen said that on the 22d November he left his room in the barracks about three in the afternoon, locked up and everything safe, taking the key in his pocket. On returning from duty shortly after five he found the door unlocked. He then found that a box in the room bad been broken open and his cash-box taken from it, the cash-box containing one £5 note—No. 79,603—a sovereign, and about £9 in silver, and 4s. in coppers. H e gave information in the barracks, and subsequently to the police. A key was found amongst some packing boxes, which would open the door. O n making a further search the centre part of his cash box was found. The cash-box had been broken open, but he had since had it repaired. A little girl living with the wife of a pay sergeant at Chelsea Barracks said she was on the landing at St. George's Barracks on the 2dd ult., when she saw the prisoner trying to push open Sergeant Allen's door with a knife. She was called away by her mistress. Another soldier was near the prisoner at the time looking on. She afterwards pointed the prisoner out to the sergeant-major the next morning. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said she was sure the prisoner was the man. Sergeant Druscovich said the battalion was at St. George's at the time, but had since been removed to Chelsea, and that was how the girl was there at the time. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said the money was partly Government money and partly his own. The keeper of the Inkerman beerhouse, Kensing ton, proved giving the prisoner a sovereign for silver, and at the same time noticing that he had a good deal more money. The prisoner afterwards left 14 ss. 6d. with him to take care of, stating that he was going on furlough, and that he would call for it on the following Saturday, which he did, and then had something to drink and left.
