MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market remains in a very inactive state, the inquiry for discounts being exceedingly limited. The lowest quotations of the brokers, how ever, are still 5-1 and 6 per cent. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. A meeting of Spanish Passive bondholders and certificate holders is to be held on Saturday, for the purpose of considering the expediency of requesting the committee of the Stock Exchange to open the Market for the negotiation of Spanish securities. The Smyrna and Casaba Railway Company pro- Pose to issue £230,000 debentures bearing interest at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum at the price of £B7 10s. per £lOO. The debentures now offered constitute a first charge on the entire undertaking, the capit a l of which is £BOO,OOO. They will be re bdeenled in 11 y ears from the Ist July, 1867, at par Y . an nual dra w i ngs. The allotments w i ll b e made strictl y in the order in which applications are re- Cived. T he brokers are Messrs. Scrimgeour and °•7 of Old Broad-street. h in the f oreign and colonial produce markets there , a 4 b een very lit t l e animation during the last few m a ys, and prices generally have remained without r rnater ial variati on. Sugars have continued in very filnitocl request, but th ere h as b een a f a i r i nqu i ry or coffee, rice, and tallow. ho.iders of t a n ordinary genera l meet i ng o f t h e share the A us t ra li an M or t gage L an d an d *Finance Company, held to-day, the directors re commended the payment of a dividend, for the six months ended December at the rate of £l2 10s. , Per Cent. per annum. Two o'CLocic. the 3 per Ce n t . R entes were 67f. 70c. Flat. Th e market for the English Funds has been well N ailltai ned, but no change of importance has taken 40 4 , e . e in values. The recent inclination of the public ve ' lc ed in these columns to return to Home Go- Cvernment securities is still observable, and daily o ri v fide t ransactions for investment are reported. ‘ti'lensols remain at 87f for money, and 87f f for G ac count. With regard to the other Eng li s h overanlent Stocks th ere i s no par ti cu l ar c h an ge to P tial ly reco rd, but th ere is a slight tinge which may be s; ascribed to th e procee di ngs i n th e Ho u s e " th m . C°llaal ° ll3 ; yet it may be reasonably expected an improveme n t will take place as soon as the G overnme n t o f the country is established on a saisfactory basis. In the Foreign Stock Market several dealings ' lo e taken place, and prices generally have im tcrved. Mexican have risen f per cent., viz., .to pas i lli i v ; e and the New Loan, fto 18f ; es remain at 25f ; but the C --- "ertmeates tau b etter at 15f ; T ur ki s h 5 per Cents., con ctinue s teady at 34f ; Italian are weak, being I per „ en t. lower, at 538 -a ; Chilian Scrip is quoted par ;.° 1 prem. .

U nited States 5-20 Bonds are 70f a ; Erie Shares, 62 ; and Illinois, 794 804. Most of the finance shares are fiat, owing to the r ecent failures among the banking community and the continued firmness in the rates of discount. Business in the Railway Share Market has con tinued very quiet, and in several instances prices are a shade flatter. North Eastern (Berwick) have receded f, Midland I, London, Chatham, and Dover f, and Great Northern 1. In the Foreign and Colonial lines there is little Variation to report. Bank shares are very quiet. Consolidated are dealt in at 9i ; Hindostan, China, and Japan at 13 ; Alliance at 23f ; London Bank of Mexico at 12 ; and Imperial Ottoman at BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. , GO VERNMENT FUNDS. 1 0 pe r Cent.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCLI. THE CASE OF CHARLOTTE WINSOR. This unfortunate woman was yesterday removed from the gaol at Exeter to Newgate, and was brought from thenco in charge of Phillips, the second warder, in order that she might be present when the day was fixed for hearing the final arguments in the case. After a few observations, the Court fixed Friday week for hearing the counsel engaged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. -0.- MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AND ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE.—EIeanor Hud son, said to be a well-known thief, was charged with steal ing a watch of the value of .£ll3 from Mr. Charles Baltens, residing in Oxendon-street, Piccadilly. Thomas Cheney, 87 0, said that about ono that morning he saw the prisoner in the Haymarket accost several gen tlemen. She then walked up to a gentleman in Jermyn street, caught hold of his arm, and thrust her right hand into the gentleman's waistcoat pocket, snapping off his watch at the bow. The gentleman, not knowing at the time that he was robbed, walked away ; but he (Cheney) seized the prisoner, when she said, " Lot me go, cabby, and I'll square it." She then became very violent, and bit his thumb severely. Ile then got assistance, and took the prisoner to the station. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l suppose you were in plain clothes, that made her take you for a cabman ? Cheney said that was the case. Sergeant Shillingford proved wresting the watch from the prisoner's hand at the station, she conducting herself in a very violent manner. Mr. Baltens identified the watch produced as his pro perty, and said that the prisoner spoke to him in Jormyn street, but he did not miss his watch till a minute after she left him. The prisoner was anxious the case should be dealt with by the magistrate, but on Cheney telling the magistrate that he thought there would be another charge against her, Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded her, stating that as the watch had been broken at the bow, in the usual way in these robberies, he expected it was not the prisoner's first offence. WORKED TILL THE LAST.—William Clifford, A boy living at 20, Caplin-street, Lisson-grove, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the instance of Mr. William Love; of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, with ill-treating and torturing a horse. Smith, an officer of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, proved seeing the boy that morning in Coventry-street driving a pony attached to a cart. On examining the pony he found it excessively lame of two legs, and to be totally unfit for work. The mother of the boy said she was not aware it was unfit for work. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was aware that some persons thought a horse could be worked for ever. He should dis charge the boy, and a summons could be taken out against his father. The horse had better be destroyed in the meantime, and he would caution the boy that if he was seen working it again he would be sent to prison for a mouth. WESTMINSTER. HABITUAL ILL-TREATMENT OF A WIFE.—Wm. Hurrell, a middle-aged man, was charged with violently assaulting and threatening his wife. The poor woman, who exhibited marks of brutality, said that she had been married to the defendant 16 years, and they had a family of children. Last night her husband camp home and ordered her little boy to bed, remark ing that if he did not go he would pay him for something he had done on the previous day. Complainant, after the child had gone, merely remarked that she thought he had before punished the boy for the offence stated, when the defendant took his hat and threw it at her. She en treated him not to beat her, at the same time remarking that he had beaten her enough last Saturday. Upon this the defendant got up, and having locked the door, beat her with his fist about the face, and kicked her severely in the side. Her screams brought assistance, and he was taken into custody. Mr. Arnold—Has he ever ill-used you before ? Complainant—Scores of times. Mr. Arnold—Have you ever charged him ? Complainant —He has been locked up, but I h ave not e pressed fen the da n complaint.t—n t don't know how it happened—l d on 't re member anything about it. Police-constable Seymour, 187 B, said he was called and heard the defendant threaten to rip his wife up. He had a knife in his hand. Mr. Arnold—was he drunk ? Constable—Not that lam aware of. I did not observe any symptoms. Defendant was remanded. THAMES. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—EIIen Holland, aged 25, a tailoress, of No. 5, Grove-street, St. George-in-the-East, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with attempting to commit self-destruction. John Clark, a police-constable, No. 491 K, stated that his attention was called to the prisoner last night, and ho saw her go down a narrow lane, which led to the water side, near the Aberdeen Wharf, in Wapping, and before he could arrest her she throw herself into the river, under two barges, and close to the brow of the wharf. It was, fortunately, low water, and he soon recovered her. She was intoxicated, and made no explanation of her making the attempt on her life. Mr. Paget—Have you anything to say now, young woman ? The prisoner—N o thing, sir. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner to Clerkenwell prison for a week. DARING ROBBERY IN THE LONDON DOCK.—Henry Bat terman, a German, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing seven quarts of brandy, the property of the London Dock Company. The prisoner has been the manager of the marble crane for hoisting marble out of ships for 11 years, at a salary of 18s. per week. Yesterday afternoon, at 5 minutes past 4 o'clock, and while the labourers wers leaving the deck, a foreman named George Hunt saw the prisoner rolling a cask of brandy towards his tackle place. lie suspected the prisoner intended a robbery, and watched him. The prisoner knocked the bung out of the cask and allowed the liquor to flow into a pail. He was seized, the leakage was stopped, and the cask was re-gauged, and a defi ciency of 7 quarts was ascertained. There was exactly one gallon and seven pints of brandy in the pail, the re mainder was spilled in the tackle box. Tho prisoner, in broken English, said he did not bore tho cask—he knocked the bung out by striking the cask with a billet of wood. Mr. Paget—You are not charged with boring the cask, but with pouring the brandy out into a bucket. Tho prisoner--Oh, yes, I did pour it out. _ . Mr. Paget—Have you any defence to make to this. You are charged with stealing the brandy? The prisoner—l depend on your mercy. Mr. Paget said he did not intend to decide the case him self, but to commit the prisoner for trial ; and when the trial was over he should like to know the result. Mr. George, principal constable in the dock, said the magistrate's suggestion should be attended to. II ARKE TS.--This Day. HAY.

Ceylon at full values; inferior de scriptions, however, aro neglected. RICE.—The demand has slightly improved, but quota tions remain unaltered. .

DEATH FROM LOCKJAW CAUSED BY BURNS.- Yesterday an inquest was held at Charlton, on the body of Matilda Boyce, aged 12 years, the daughter of a labouring man residing at Hope Cottages, who expired on Saturday last from the results of extensive injuries sustained on Sunday week by her clothes being accidentally set on fire. She u e s d w a a y s , p r ogressing favourably t owards recovery until Tuesday, w hen symptoms of lockj aw came on, and she gradually sank. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Di eadful Explosion at Southampton. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 24. The London and South Western Co.'s steamer Havre is on tire. Every effort is being made to save her. She arrived this morning from Havre with a cargo of French goods, chiefly for transhipment to the steamer sailing to-morrow for New York. The fire was caused by the explosion of a case of combustibles in the hold. Two of the crew and the stewardess are said to be seriously injured. One man has just been got from the hold of the vessel dead. LATEST PARTIC LTLARS. The fire on board the Havre is now extinguished, but the ship has sustained much damage below and in the fore saloon. No further casualties have occurred on board, but Captain Wight, of the Company's steamer " Atalanta, while running to his own ship for assistance, dropped down dead from excitement. The Attempt to Assassinate the Czar, ST. PETEPSBURG, April 19. The author of the attempt upon the life of the Emperor is a young man of about 20 years of age, named Olchewsky, such at least being the name he gave to the police a few hours after his arrest. A thousand conjectures are afloat respecting the motive which impelled him to attempt so great a crime. It is asserted that Olchewsky is a Russian gentleman ruined by emancipation, while some represent him to be a radical of the Nihilist sect. According to others, he belongs to the bourgeois class of Podolia (an old Polish province), and is only the instrument of a vast conspiracy against the Emperor's life. The accused declares himself to belong to the lower classes, and he speaks the dialect of the common people. Externally, his dress bore out this statement, but it was found upon searching him that he wore fine under linen. His hands also are soft, and his language, in the course of a long examination, becomes refined, evidently from forgetfulness. He pretends not to understand any foreign language; but when Prinee Suwarrow, in the course of the first hearing, made a few remarks in French to Prince Dolgorouky, chief of the Secret Police, of great importance to the prisoner, it was evident that the latter per fectly comprehended what was said. At 1 p.m. to-day the Emperor gave audience at the Winter Palace to the representatives of the nobility and inhabitants of the metropolis, who had asked permission to present an address congratu lating his Majesty upon his providential escape. The address was read by Count Orloff-Davydoff, marshal of the nobility. It said : " Sire,—Under the present distressing, yet, at the same time, consolatory circumstances, we, the marshals, de puties, and nobles of St. Petersburg, only fail to address your Majesty in the name of all the nobility of Russia, because every assembly of nobles will be jealous of the right of expressing its sentiments in per son. But we come before your Majesty to-day, in the name of the nobles and inhabitants of St. Peters burg, to express our profound affliction that a criminal or insensate hand should have d are d t o a tt ac k your Majesty's august and sacred person, so justly dear to us— (loud and enthusiastic cheers)—and we offer up our fervent thanks to the Almighty who has preserved Russia from misfortune in saving your valuable life. Sire, permit us to remind you at this moment that, three days after your accession to the throne, when receiving in this same palace the deputies of St. Petersburg, you told them you hoped always to see the Russian nobility at the head of all good bud useful und er t a ki ngs. Wi t h G o d' s h e lp, the happy as piration of your Majesty shall be realised through many years, to the satisfaction of your Majesty's paternal heart." Renewed cheers succeeded Count Davydoff's words. The Emperor replied : " Gentlemen,—l thank you from the bottom of my heart for the expression of your feelings upon this melancholy occasion. Last year, at the same period, all classes testified their sincere sympathy with me. If, after my trust in God, anything sustains me in my difficult task, it is in especial that devotion and those sentiments which are constantly expressed towards me with so much unanimity under all difficult circumstances, both by you, gentlemen of the no bility, end by all other classes. Again I thank you all erom the bottom of my heart." Turning then towards the repre sentatives of the nobility, his Majesty added--" I reckon, gentlemen, upon your cordially receiving among you the peasant who saved my life yesterday, and who has been raised by me to the rank of a noble. I think he has well deserved the honour of being a Russian gentleman." Long and prolonged cheers greeted the close of the Emperor's speech. His Majesty cordially shook hands with and embraced the marshal of the nobi lity, Kilo kissed his Sovereign's hand. Their Ma jesties walked to the end of the crowded hall amid the most enthusiastic applause and demonstrations of attachment, and then retired to their private apartments. The death of Mrs. Carlyle, which we announced yesterday, took place on Saturday under very pecu liar circumstances. She was taking her usual drive in Hyde-park about 4 o'clock, when her little favourite dog which was running by the side of the brougham was run over by a carriage. She was greatly alarmed though the dog was not seriously hurt. She lifted the dog into the carriage and the man drove on. Not receiving any call or direction from his mistress as was usual, he stopped the carriage and discovered her, as he thought, in a fit or ill, and drove to St. George's Hospital, which was near at hand. When there it was discovered that she must have been dead some little time. Mrs. Carlyle's health had been for several months feeble, hut not in a state to excite anxiety or alarm. The Scotsman says the deceased lady was the daughter of " the once well-known Dr. Welsh, of Haddington, and, with gifts and graces of her own, she inherited much of the force and penetration of her father's intellect. She was worthy to be the life companion of Thomas Carlyle." INDIAN BURIAL—A daughter of Spotted Tail, one of the chiefs among the Sioux, died recently at their rendezvous on Powder River, some 260 miles from Fort Laramie, Dakotah Territory. She was an inter esting girl, 18 years of age. She always had been friendly towards the whites, and being often at the garrison with her band she became warmly attached to them. After the difficulties between her people and the Government commenced, and she had been obliged to isolate herself with her people from her former friends, she began to decline in health, and gradually pined away until she died of a broken heart. She declared she could never enjoy life if she was to be deprived of the opportunity of seeing her white friends—many of whom had known her from infancy—and remained a prey to melancholy until she died. As her people, numbering several thousands, were soon to start on a journey to the Fort to hold a council with Colonel Maynadier, commanding this sub-district, in reference to a treaty of peace, she requested that her body might be taken to the garrison and be deposited in its final resting-place near the Fort. This was done accordingly. Colonel Maynadier, with his staff, rode out to meet the chief, who is a noble specimen of an Indian warrior, and the funeral took place at sunset. " Colonel Maynadier," says the chaplain, " informed the chief that I would perform the burial service in accordance with the Christian usage, if he desired it. After a few moments he assented. According to their custom four posts about 12ft. long were inserted in the ground, on the top of which a scaffold was laid, on which the coffin was to be placed. Four Indian women laid her in, covering her with a buffalo robe, and depositing her wearing apparel with all the treasure she possessed. The Colonel deposited a beautiful pair of gauntlets to keep her hands warm during her journey. I then proceeded with the burial service, which was interpreted faithfully, and the expressive ' Ugh !' uttered by the dusky warriors expressed their ap proval of the sentiments. The coffin closed, and, a beautiful red blanket covering it, it was raised to the scaffold. The heads and tails of her two white ponies, which had been killed immediately after her death, were nailed to the posts, and the idolised daughter was prepared, according to their faith, to ride through th ose f a i r hunting-grounds to which she had gone apparelled as she had been on. earth. 00, It was an affecting sight. The committing in good faith that sacred trust to the keeping of their late d foes, amid tears and wailings, shows an anxiety that peace might be restored and preserved. ,, —, M issouri Democrat. 1031 3 i 23 4 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BOWYER asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer whether any demand had been made within the last four months by the French Government on the British Government relative to the repayment by the latter Govern ment to the former of an alleged surplus of the monies pro vided by France and paid to the English Government, in pur suanco of the Convention of Paris, 1815-1818, to indemnify British subjects for their loses by confiscation during the re volutionary Government, or whether any communications on the above subject had passed between the Governments of the two countries ; and, if so, whether there was any objection to lay such communications upon the table of the house ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not think that there had been any representations on the subject for a long time past. The last he recollected was in 1856. They occasionally had representations from persons that sums were due either on the one side or the other, but no attention was now paid to them, as the transactions alluded to by the hon. baronet were considered by the Government as by duo course of law, but for the information of the hon. gentleman ho begged to say that there had been no communications within his knowledge within the time mentioned in his question. FIRE INSURANCES. In reply to Ix bon. member, Mr. SHERIDAN said if he postponed his motion with rsspect to fire insurance without some day being fixed, he should peril the question being taken this session. He therefore should be compelled to bring it forward. THE REFORM BILL.—ADJOURNED DEBATE. The adjourned debate was resumed this evening by Mr. BRIGHT, whose rising was the signal for some cheering from the Liberal benches, said—Before I ad dress myself to the questions before the house there are two matters of a personal character which I wish to dispose of- The right hon. gentleman the member forCalne, on the first night of this debate, made a complaint to this house that in a speech out of this house I had imputed to him, or quoted as from him, words he had not uttered. The right hon. gentleman was quite right to make that complaint, if he thought it was worth while to make it, because there was no doubt, and I am sorry that it so happened, that some three or four words which ho had not spoken in that con nection, were added to the passage which he had spoken. I regret that inaccuracy very much, and I have only the sa tisfaction of knowing or believing that I did not do the right hon, gentleman any substantial injustice. Another point refers to the speech of the noble lord the member for King's Lynn. He retorted upon me the charge of conspiracy with regard to two divisions, which took place some years ago in this house—one with regard to the debate and divi sion on the China war, the other with regard to the division on the Conspiracy Bill. In neither of those cases did the mover of the resolution obtain a seconder from tho opposite side of the house. But with regard to the first case—that of the China war—l was not in Parliament during that session. I was in bad health, out of the country ; and tho first thing I heard of it was from reading an account of what had taken place in this house in a public news-room in the city of Rome. With regard to the caseof the Conspiracy Bill, hon. members who were then in the house will recollect that on the division on the first reading of the bill nearly 100 mem bers, I think the exact number was 99, voted in the divi sion against the introduction or the first reading of the bill. Amongst those were Lord J. Russell, my right hon. friend the President of the Board of Trade, myself, and many others. The noble lord's friends warmly welcomed and supported that bill. (Cheers.) Before the second reading came on my right hon. friend the President of the Board of Trade gave notice of a resolution which, on debate, was carried by the house. The noble lord, I presume, certainly his friends, departing altogether from their course on the first reading, turned completely round on their own policy, and supported my right hon. friend the President of the Board of Trade, went into the same lobby with us, and made a majority against the Government of Lord I: t al ca m m e re ston. (Hear, hear.) If there was any conspiracy i t was a from the other side of the house. (Hear, heart.) If by eies which lord and his friends. Now, these are inacc uracies dirty conspiracy, the dirt was imported into i urs to make the occur in debate, but I thought it nece ssary to explain the the noble apology to the right hon. gentleman, brought against the words in which the in this house, gene case which the noble lord inadvertently the question before the me.

(Hear.) One thing being absent is made an excuse and a weapon for destroying a bill that is present. That, I think, as far as I can judge, is a fair statement of the position of the noble lord.
