:ONE Y .111ARKET COMIIIEROf AL t NTELIT{TiEN., O'CLOCK. The Money M ar k et i s quiet, with TWELVE a very mode rate demand on all kinds of paper. A. few transac tions have taken place in best three months' bills a , t 3 / per c en t., an d i n special cases per cent. lower. It is gratifying to be able to state that the heavy Indian and Australian payments which bad to be met on Saturday led to no embarrassment, ample provision having been made under the favourable influence of the satisfactory condition of credit and the easiness and abundance of money. Th e suspensio n h as b een announce d o f Messrs. Orinerod, J ervis, and Thomson, of Manchester, .?.°ln ini ssion agents and manu f ac t u rers, with large lia bilities. It is stated that their embarrassm eats are caused by large speculative transactions in no way connected with their regular business. The slam of £43,000 in sovereigns was taken to the Bank of England on Saturday. The report s f rom t h e var i ous manu f actur i ng dis tricts for the past week represent that business ge nerally has been ver y d u ll.

London, Chatham, and Dover have receded a ; North Western and South Eastern, each 4 ; and North Eastern (Berwick) it ; while Metropolitan have improved and Midland I. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without any material change in values. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian are dealt in at 16f ; Great Western of Canada at 121 12i ; and East Indian at 1041. American Securities continue in good demand, and prices generally are firmer. United States 5-20 Bonds have improved I, to 701 y ; Erie Shares f; to 491 50f ; and Illinois Shares 1.1, to 78 79. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are in demand, at 601 618 ex coupon ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have advanced to 411 41f ex coupon. Bauk Shares are very quiet. Imperial Ottoman are marked 91 ; Merchant Bank, 151 ; New South -Wales, 43 ; and South Australia, 21. In the Corn Market to-day there was a very good attendance, but the fresh supplies of home-grown grain on offer was limited. A fair business, how ever, was done at an advance of fully 3s. to 4s. per quarter on last week's rates. The dealings in the Miscellaneous and Finance Shares have been exceedingly active. Anglo-Ame rican Telegraph have declined to 144 ; Electric Telegraph to 134 k; Hudson's Bay Company are steady at 17f ; and the Viceroy of Egypt's Loan has improved to 76f. MINING MARKET.

The Tribunal of Commerce of the Seine has given judgment on a question of .much importance to all railway travellers. Four gentlemen, named Couvreux, De Villiers, Lempereur, and Miedan, wishing to go to Chatillon-sur-Seine on the sth of May last, took tickets by the 7 o'clock morning train, which should reach Nuits-sur-Riviere at 2, in time for the corresponding train to Chatillon, 12 minutes later. The engine, however, broke down on the way, and the travellers only reached Nuits at ten minutes past 3, and then, finding that they would have to wait several hours before another train left for their destination, took a special one, for which they paid 201 f. 70c. They now sued the Lyons Railway Company to recover that sum, with 100 f. additional, which they claimed for the inconvenience to which they had been put. The defendants alleged in their defence that the accident was one over which they had no control, and that they were consequently not re sponsible for the delay ; but the Court decided that the stoppage had been caused by the breaking of a piston-rod, which would not have occurred had the company had its engines properly examined, and condemned it to pay an indemnity of 200 f, with interest from the date of the occurrence, and costs of the action. ,• EYE RENON bliAttth.

The name of the murdered man is Henry Rayner John Watson, a farmer, has been apprehended. There appears to be a growing feeling among all parties and classes of Frenchmen of hostility to Prussia. The coming Exhibition in Paris is one of the great barriers to war. Some Frenchmen think that a lesson might be administered to Prussia and a brilliant campaign concluded without interfering with the Peace Exhibition. The frosts of winter may cool these warlike aspirations. It is, however, within the bounds of possibility that ere many months have elapsed that every nation engaged in the iniquitous dismemberment of Denmark will have suffered a righteous penalty. Prussia has been the means of inflicting this punishment on her coad jutors in the crime, and France may be destined to complete the warning lesson.

The trade for wheat in tho country markets held on Saturday was very firm, and an advance of is, 2s, and even 3s per quarter took place in the quotations. Fine barley was very firm, and prices had an upward tendency. Oats were rather dearer, whilst beans and peas commanded extreme rates. Four changed hands at higher prices. On the Continent the corn trade generally is firm, and prices have an upward tendency. At New York the value of wheat and flour continues to rise, and there is still scarcely any business doing for export to Europe. The arrivals of English grain, &c., up to our markets last week were but moderate. .The imports from abroad comprised 13,456 qrs. of wheat, 11,452 barley, 11,875 oats, 3,000 rye, 1,900 beans, 20 peas, 6,569 linseed, 6,058 rape cad oilseeds, 10,401 maize, 190 sundry seeds, 11,227 sacks and 5,117 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate, and the condition of the produce was but middling. Owing to the limited im portation, and the firmness of the country markets, the trade was very firm, and home-grown produce was held at an advance in price from Monday last of 5. per quarter. Millers, however, were unwilling to buy at this advance, but a clearance was eventually effected at a rise in the quotations of 3s. to 4s. per quarter. The foreign wheat trade was firm in the extreme. The supply of produce on the stands was but moderate, and an advance cf 2s to 3s per qr in the quotations was established. Floating cargoes of wheat were in request, and advanced in price 2s to 3s per qr. All descriptions of spring corn afloat realised extreme, and, in some instances, higher rates. The supply of barley on sale was but moderate. For all descriptions the trade was very firm at advancing prices. Fine malting produce realised 56s per quarter. Malt was in fair demand, and fully last Monday's prices were obtained. The market was but moderately supplied with oats. The trade was vary firm. Russian qualities were 2s, and other kinds is, per quarter dearer than on Monday last. Beans were firm,• and quite as, dear as ou Monday last. Peas moved off steadily, at extreme quotations. The show of samples was very moderate. Town-made float was . raised 4s, the top price being 57s per 2801bs. Country hoar advanced in price 2s to 3s per 2801hs. _ _ . Linseed and rapeseed met a slow sale.at late rates. For other seeds the trade was quiet. There was a good demand for cake; and prices advanced 2s 6d per ton. CURRENCY PER IMP.

Last week's THE " EXAMINER" ON TIIE CONDEMNED FENI:ANS IN CANADA.—TIIe fate of the Fenians under sen tence of death in Canada should be decided without any regard to the construction that may be put on an act of grace. Men are not to be bung because sparing their lives might be falsely attributed to fear. The judgment of the Government should be un swayed by the foolish rants and threats in the United States. But some respect is surely due to the feel ings of the American Government. The men might not have been captured if the American Govern ment had not faithfully and vigorously enforced its laws against piratical enterprises. And this fact warrants intercession, and entitles it at least to re spectful consideration. The inference in the course of justice in an independent State is not like that of the King of Prussia, who solicited the reprieve of the assassin Muller because he was a countryman. The fact that the blood-stained wretch was a German gave the King of Prussia no right of appeal against British justice. The President of the American Union may fairly claim to intercede for mercy, on the ground that by the help of his power the pri soners had fallen into the hands of their enemies. But the question of the disposal of these men is not to be determined by influences, permissible or not, but by higher considerations. It has become a law of the land that life should not be taken for any crime but murder. Frost levied war against the Queen, land incurred the penalties of treason, but he was not put to death. Smith O'Brien and his fellow rebels were transported, though they had put their necks fairly within the halter. In both these in stances it may be said that the folly of the enter prises made it impossible to deal with them with tragical rigour ; but if folly excuses, there is cer tainly no lack of it in the Fenian case. The truth is, however, that the sentiment of the country would not have endured the enforcement of the extreme penalty for treason in the instances named. In the Fenian case the closest analogy is to piracy, but how long is it since piracy was punished with death ? It is true that their offence might involve all other crimes, murder, arson, robbery; but justice deals with acts, not with contingencies or possible con sequences. A man who fires a house is punished for the arson, but not hung because some one might have been burnt to death. We have seen it argued that to show we are not afraid of the Americans, we . ought to act as if we were in great fear of the Fenians, and make an example of the captured offenders. But fear should have nothing to do with the question, least of all the fear of being thoUght afraid. Let the criminals suffer suitable punish ment for their unprovoked outrage, but not the penalty reserved exclusively for murder. If they, had done on our own shores what they had done on the Canadian frontier they would have been shot and bayOneted on the field, but when captured theY would not have been hung by process of law. A long term of penal servitude would satisfy justice and keep her on good terms with humanity. THE "LONDON REVIEW" ON CELESTIAL WASTE OR WEALTH.—EarIy on Tuesday or Wednesday morning some 240,000 small bodies called shooting stars passed the earth in a cluster, penetrating the upper regions of its atmosphere, and exhibiting the most brilliant colours—red, white, and blue. There is no doubt that somewhere between the 11th and 14th November the earth shoots through a ring of innumerable fragments of planetary matter, many of which pass so near us th a t , revo l v i ng as they do round the sun with an average velocity of some 35 miles a second —say 3,600 times more rapidly than an ordinary express train—through the excessively rarefied air at a height of from 50 to 70 miles above the earth, they produee by their sudden con densation of that air the light which we call . the light of shooting stars. The spectacle produced when these phenornena'are clearly seen and in their greatest abundance, as they were on Tuesday night, is like a brilliant display of celestial fireworks. Humboldt and Bonpland,. who were at Cumana (in Venezuela, South America) on the 12th November in the last year of the last century (1799), tell us that between two and five in the morning the sky was covered with innumerable luminous trains which incessantly traversed the sky from north to south, presenting the appearance of fireworks let off at an enormous height,—large meteors, having sometimes an apparent diameter of one and a half times that of the moon, blending their trains with the long luminous and phosphorescent paths of the shooting stars. The same splendid spectacle was witnessed in Brazil, Labrador, Greenland parts of Germany, and French Guiana.* Mr. Newton, an American astronomer, believes, after careful obser vation and calculations, there are some seven millions and a half of these snfall bodies which traverse the at mosphere daily, and which would be visible on a clear night to an observer somewhere or other on the surface of the naked eye alone ; nay, that if all the meteors which could be seen in one clear, dark night, supposing the globe of the earth.were a single living retina, and were aided by a powerful telescope ap plied all round it, were numbered, they could not be fewer than 400,000,000. The 240,000 or so which we see in such splendid masses somewhere near the 13th of November are but a single, closely concentrated group, apparently belonging to the same fragment of planet. It is calculated that within the space occupied by the earth with its atmosphere there are always at any single moment some 13,000 small bodies called shooting stars, which would be under favourable circumstances visible to the naked eye, and at least- forty times as many visible—to telescopic aservei's under the same circumstances. And all these, it must be remembered, touch 'the margin: of the terrestriaratmosplaere, for it is by the collision with it that the light is emitted. They are far too near the earth to catch the light of the sun during our night. Not a few such planetary frag ments may, it is believed, have been attracted out of their own solar orbits into the earth's sphere of attraction, and become permanent satellites attend ing upon us, though too small and too near for ordinary observation. M. Guihemin tells us in his book on " The Heavens" that a French astronomer, M. Petit, of Toulouse, assigns to one such body a period of revolution round the earth of three hours. and twenty minutes at a distance of 5,000 miles. So that, if he is right, we have a little satellite at a distance of not much above a single radius of the earth—not so far from its surface as Cal cutta is from London—which whirls round us in less than a sixth part of our own day. And if he is right in this case, the chances are that there are many more such minute specks whirling round our heads at greater or less distances. The magnitudes of these most diminutive of all known planets—the existence of which we for the most part should not suspect but for their flashing fire when they meet our atmosphere—are exceedingly trifling. Mr. Herschel believes most shooting stars to weigh no more than two ounces ; and the largest calculated meteor is said to weigh about two hundr edwei g ht. What strikes us most in considering these minute astronomical phenomenon is the enormous amount of apparently waste planetary matter lavis.n. e hed , Now, upon space by the divine. plan. there was a time, and that npt very long ago, when it was thought almost irreligious to talk of waste material in the universe at all. The moon, which is, of course, vastly bigger than all the enormous number o f terrestrial meteors put together, is, as almost all astronomers now believe, a great cinder, where no life i s ; but then the moon is considered as answering the clearpurpose of light ing up the terrestrial night for half the year or so, so that even though not subservient to any lunar life of its own, it is fitted with a purpose which pre vents its being classed as waste material. But it will scarcely be supposed that the meteors which in such enormous numbers penetrate our atmosphere, and are so seldom seen, being too scattered in space and: time indeed to attract much notice except at one or twoiremarkable periods, exist only for the sake of the celestial fireworks which are now and then visible on a moonless August . and November night. They are really to the astronomical . univeree what the mites which dance in th e sun b eam are to a single ray of light,—for the most part unobserved and unobservable. If they are not to be called waste astronomical material, it is only because there is nothing waste in the universe at all. But at all events they are to the organised matter of worlds like ours what the sparks of Metal which a smith strikes out of the red-hot iron on his anvi', an. 3 which fly off to mingle again with the crust of the earth, are to the moulded iron which enters into the ma chinery of civilisation, and is used to plough that crust so as to render it infinitely moce produc tive and fuller of vital stimulus to human pOwer. " Waste," may be,- no doubt, as we were all taught- in childhood, a false and profane idea. Still it has a meaning. Though nothing be absolutely wasted, that which- is mere potentiality is waste as compared with that which is in full use. The desert is waste comparod with land which bears much fruit. The undiscovered mine is Waste power compared with the worked and discovered mine. The saa was waste while no one knew how to sail on it, as compared with the same sea when it became the pathway of nations. And in this sense, at least, the scattered billions of ounces of meteoric matter which make occasional shows of fireworks in autumn nights, are waste compared with the same matter organised into worlds capable of sus taining such- life as that of our earth. RE OPENING THE ALABAMA QUESTION. For example, they will be quite 'justified, in our opinion, if they re-open the question of the Ala bama with the present Government; and the pre sent Government will do both a graceful and an equitable thing if they prevent that move on the part of the American Government, and themselves take the initiative in it. Lord Stanley is not bound by the acts of bird Clarendon -and Lord Russell in a matter like this. A treaty contracted by either of these noblemen he would, of course, hold sacred but a negotiation about a matter of moral right`or wrong between the two nations may, with perfect propriety, be opened and re-opened till it shall be settled to the satisfaction of both parties. Let us not, however, be misunderstood. We are not charging either Lord Russell or Lord Clarendon with conduct unjust in itself or contradictory to the letter of the law. According to the letter of the law they were right ; and looking to the way in which the United ,States behaved, under cir cumstances still more vexatious, to. the Portuguese, Lord Russell was justified in quoting American acts against American argument. But the heat of that controversy is over, and now that both parties are able and willing to look rather to the future than to the past, an excellent opportunity is afforded us of doing the right thing in such a way as shall add to, not detract from, the dignity of our posi tion. Admitting the fact that the Alabama got to sea solely through the inopportune illness of the Queen's Advocate, we are scarcely justified in de clining to refer the matter in dispute between our Government and that of the United States to be impartial arbitration. By all means let a commis sion investigate and report ; but a final reference to the only court capable of deciding between the high litigant parties would on our part be an act of grace, by which we should gain in prestige infinitely more than we might lose in hard cash, or other material compensation, the award going against us. --Blackwood's Magazine for .Norember.

In charging the grand jury, the Recorder said in conse quence of the short interval since the Court last met the cases were not very numerous. The first case to which he felt it his duty to refer was the indictment against William Scott for the murder of a woman said to have been his wife. They, lived together, and both seemed to be ad dicted to habits of intoxication, and the question the grand jury would have to consider was whether the injuries which appeared to have been inflicted were committed by the prisoner, and that they caused the death of the woman. The medical gentlemen had no-doubt that the death was caused by violence, and it was impossible to keep out of consideration the declaration made by the prisoner that he would do for her, and that she had lived too long. The learned gentleman then proceeded to enter into the details of the case, and, having done so, proceeded to notice the indictment against a parson named Young and others who stand indicted for•causing the death of a lad named Ull tnott in a sparring match with- gloves at a publichouso kept by Shaw. The law, as,laid down by act of Parlia ment, was that in sports unlawful or productive :of danger a party killing another was guilty of manslaughter. Such exercise, however, as tended to give agility in the use of the arms were not deemed unlawful, but boxing matches, and other sports of a similar kind, which were not got up fcr lucre, did not come under this description. In the pre sent instance the patch took place in a publichouso, the combatants were engaged by the keeper of that house, and a sum of money was charged for admission. If the circum stances were such as he had stated, it would be their duty to find a true bill. There was another case of manslaughter caused by furious driving, and a third case of the same kind was as follows. It appeared the deceased had some difference with the prisoner Allen, who kept a pub lic-house, and on the night in question he went to the house and forced his way into it. The prisoner ejected him, and the charge was that in doing so he had used more force than was necessary for the purpose, but struck him a blow, on which the deceased fell, and in so doing re_ ceived such injuries that death ensued. If they came to the conclusion that the blow was not struck in self-defence, but in the moment of irritation, they would find a true bill. There was a charge of manslaughter against a woman named Power, of having caused the death of her child by failing to give it proper nourishment. The next case referred to by the learned Recorder was that made against a person named Brookes, for misdemeanour, the offence consisting of disobedience of an Act of Parliament. The Act alleged to have been y iolated was an Act relating to the proving of guns, anddfor t ile he idd p i r n is g on th e e r use of such arms as had not been proved, any; was said to have sold and offered for sale a number of guns of which the barrels had not been proved. The offnco charged was not named amongst those which con stituted a misdemeanour, but was classified 'with those subject to a penalty, and the prisoner was not, therefore, liable to be indicted for misdemeanour. The only other charge which he thought it necessary to refer to was one against a person named Elders for receiving into his house a lunatic for board and hire, the prisoner not being licensed for that purpose. It was well that the public should know that no person could receive into his house a lunatic for board and hire with out the necessary authority, and persons so doing rendered themselves liable to punishment. The other cases were of the ordinary description to which it was not at all necessary for him to refer to. • The grand jury then retiredto their, room. THE ItOBBERIEB ON THE GREAT - EASTERN RAILWAY. The trial of Duckle and his wife, who stood indicted for receiving stolen property,"on the application of Mr. Metcalf, was postponed until next session, on the ground flint SOlhe fresh ca es were springing up.

Sergeant Parry, who appeared for th e defence, made some observations on the course that had been pursued in the case, in which the two gentlemen now before the court had been subjected to the greatest hardshiPs• when the 'base was before the magistrate it was atone° dismissed but the present indictment had been framed under a recent Act of Parliament, and be felt the indictment was preferred simply for the purposes of extorting moneyant had better . The Recorder thought t he learned serge not say that. Sergeant Parry would at once bow to the intimation of his lordship, b u t he felt it o u g ht to be publicly known that Mr. Munyard and Mr. Cowland had been no parties to the withdrawal of the case. On the contrary, they were most desirous of meeting ech t harge with an unequivocal denial. CIIABOE or LIBEL. Edward Sheridan s u-rendered to an indictment charging him with publishing a libel on a Brazilian gentleman named Albcrtquerque. Ile pleaded guilty to the second indictment. Mr. Sergeant Parry, who appeared for the prosecution, said it was f elt that Sheridan was not the a uthor but m erely the pub lisher of the libel, and, althouel t e he d p id ro n se o - t prose cutor, who was a gentleman of thelighest respectability, subjected .es matterto the againstgr a t e thestdefendant. annoyance, h h w a i d sh b : en to pressthe Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., appeared for the defendant, said it was acting under his advice that the defendant had adopted the course he had done.

SPORTING NOTES. Mr. Frail's popularity was conspicuous for the spahtrreownsabguerywhmiceehtihnetolbatast week, obtained from the aristocracy for th e extending_over five day s. Notwithstanding th e l a t eness of the season, it produced numerous fields and sport of the best description. Mr. Merry's bill of fare, which will occupy four days of the present week, is, as usual, an attractive one, and being absolutely the last flat race meeting of the year, will, at and the most inveter a t e o f gamblers, to their its conclusion, scatter far and wid e t h e most enthusiastic ofw nter sportsmen, pursuits and festivities. The Donnington handicap has Overture, Paris, Mistletoe., and Thalassius engaged, -. ai d . if his Lordship decides upon running her I think AI- _ L i ll _ TOE will win, next to whom"' fancy PARIS. The tirtadi cap of 5 sove each, would, &alb:less go to old Q ueen of Trumps had she not incurred a 5111 penalty for winning at Shrewsbury on Friday, but'eveL with ost 31b on her back she must have an outside chance. however, LADY VALENTINE, 4 yrs, 7st 41b, and TIIALASSIUS, 4 yrs, Get 71b, are leniently treated, and having a good turn of speed will most likely give a satisfactory account of themselves. Fur the Free Handicap Hurdle Race I see nothing to interfere with the chance of FORTCNATUS, though he Las to carry 9st 61b, being 61b extra for winning the leougner Hurdle Race last week. The Tally-ho Stakes is best left alone, but VI those who wish to speculate on the race my choice is TIGER. The two performances of GREENBACK on the same day at Shrewsbury give him a decided chance in the Nursery Handicap here, as, although defeated by Freemason in the second race, the latter has been backed for considerable sums for next year's Derby, and is a good horse. The acceptances not having yet been declared for th© Selling Nursery Handicap, I must decline to interfere with it, and also with the. match between Whalebone and Vet for 500 sous, which brings me to a conclusion concerning the first day's racing. The Maiden Plate, on Weduesday, looks a certainty for RATTY, should she start for it ; otherwise, I shall expect to see Lord Westmorland furnish the winner. The Great Autumn Wel ter Cup is only a mile, and I can see nothing to beatWILD AGNES, unless Pearl Diver or Mr. Hodgman's representa tive, probably Valiant, succeeds in doing so. The distance of the Guy Cup, five furlongs, will just suit TuaLasszus and PARIS. After 'going carefully 'over the weights for ,the Second Nursery Free Handicap, fit and well at the post, I should stand nothing but NINE ELMS (by St oc k we ll out of Lady Kingston), ono the best-bred horseain the race. In his absence Hatty reads dangerous; at the same time Blinkhoolie is a great favourite of mine, and with Fordham in the saddle, he will certainly not be far from the winner's heels at the 'finish of the race. I dare not recommend anything for the Warwick Handicap Steeplechase. It is no envious task to analyse the chances of the 41 subscribers to the Great Midland Counties Han dicap, because, as a matter of course, I am quite in the dark as to the intentions of the owners. Nothing reads to me with a formidable chance until I come to Tho Special, which, in my estimation, provided the pilot has express instructions, ought to be extensively patronised. Brick is also boned to attract the notice of the judge, as he meets all his Liverpool and Shrewsoury Cup competitors on much better terms. Dulcimer is remarkably well in, and it is anything but long odds twat Mr. Payne may repeat his last year's success , by winning with her. The fact of her running third in the Ascot Stakes, winning the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, and getting fifth in the Cesare witch, are a convincing proof the mare can get this dis tance of ground, and I shall therefore pin my faith on DULCIMER. The Third Nursery Free Handicap may go to HATTY, as if she should incur a penalty for winning previously she will then be by no means badly in. Next to her I fancy THE FILLY BY VOLTIGEUR OUT OF BLONDELLE. Concerning Friday's racing I can say nothing for ob vious reasons, except that favourable accounts of COMBER TON for the Grand Annual Steeplechase have reachedme. A FRESHMAN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
