RONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The weekly meeting in the Bank Parlour has not resulted in any alteration being made in the official rate of discount. •On 'Change the settle ment of the account occupies most attention ; buy- ing and selling is completely neglected for the time, arrangements being the principal matter with the brokers and others. The prices of the Public Secu rities are drooping, and the same feeling prevailed b lithe Foreign Market, but with respect to the Rus- Clan Loun the applications have been, it is said, al- Most on an extraordinary scale. American Bonds are very quiet, and beyond a trifling improvement in Eries and a decline in Illinois, there is no altera tion to report. Telegraph Shares are somewhat in demand, but in Banking and Miscellaneous Stocks prices are almost stationary. Consols are now at 924 to 921 for money ; ditto, for Account, ; Three per Cent.

A further sum of £12,000 in gold was taken from the Bank yesterday. The withdrawals during the week since the last return have been £269,000 The Holsatia, of the Hamburg-American Steam line, has left New York, and may he expected at Plymouth with £200,000 in silver, from Mexico, on Thursday next. She will also bring mails, the company having now consented to do so on the terms offered by the American Government, although they consider them to be totally inade quate. Large numbers of Erie shares are being sent to the Shareholders' Protect'ou Committee to be ' stamped. After the 31st inst. none will be received, and the holders who have neglected to comply with the recomin,niation will Then for a inn,: be J u')- jected to the inconvenience of finding their pri- PartY virtually unmarketable. A circular bas been addressed by the directors to the shareholders of the Falmouth, Griuraltar, and Malta Telegraph Company (Limited), announcing that it is intended to change the point of departure for the company's cable from Falmouth to Porth euruo, a small bay near Penzance. The engineers, it is stated, have advised this course, as the sandy bottom, and absolute freedom from fishing vessels, rocks, or anchorage at Porthcurno are so certain to add to the security of the cable. With regard to the proposed re-establishment of telegraphic communication between the Channel Islands and England, it is stated that arrange ments have now been completed for landing and Working the cable, besides which a local guarantee has been obtained for a dividend of 10 per cent. in the event of the line not yielding so much during any of the three:years after it is opened. It is ex pected that the opening will take place about the Ist of May. The amounts to be paid by the Government for the telegraphs on Friday next are as follows : Electric and International Company, £2,938,826 ; British and Irish Magnetic, £1,243,536 ; Reuter's Telegraph Company, £726,000 ; United Kingdom, 562,264 ; Universal Private, £134,422 ; London and Provincial, £60,000.

The report of the Universal Marine Insurance Company (Limited) recommends a dividend of 7 6. 6d. per share, making, with the previous sum of 2s. 6d., a distribution at the rate of 10 per cent. for the year. The dishonest conduct of certain foreign Govern ments in subjecting their creditors to taxation seems to have been deemed by the Italian Irrigation (Count Cavour) Company as sufficient to justify Similar treatment of their septennial bondholders in respect of a contract made exclusively in this country in sterling. The Permanent Committee of the Protection Association have accordingly invited the co-operation of all septennial bondholders in the proceedings about to be taken in Italy to test the question of the company's right to make a deduc tion from the half yearly coupon, which virtually amounts to a partial confiscation.

Tarjet is endeavouring to introduce a system of conservancy into this coun try which he declares has successfully stood the test of practical experience. His proposition issomewhat difficult of explanai ion without the aid of sketches ; but it is of this kind. Let us take the case of soldiers. The sweepings and refuse of the barrack rooms, the ashes from the grates, and the straw from the barrack beds after it has been used, are to be collected. The straw being finely chopped up, and the other substances requiring it being pulverised, the whole is thoroughly mixed toge ther. This forms the disinfectant material analo ions to the dry earth. The receptacle for the animal execretious is, first of all, to have a layer of this spread at the bottom ; a bot tomless frame, or mould of the shape of, but smaller than, the receptacle, is next inserted ; the interval left between the sides of the frame and receptacles is then to be filled with the above ma terial, which is to-be tightly rammed down. When the frame is removed, the interior of the receptacle is, of course, lined on three of its sides with this material, which, falling eown upon and covering the surface of tha animal excreta as it is deposited, renders it quite 'inoffensive. The whole is finally removed, and utilised as manure. The inventor is, we believe, willing to undertake the adapta tion iand working of hike plan of conservancy to a military camp, l for example, at his own cost, provided he be a llowed to reap all the pecuniary advantage arising from the disposal of the excreta for agri cultural purposes. lle has likewise another proposal for the management of the fluid ex-• creta that is similar in kind. Au ordinary urine tub is to be filled with the mixed sweepings, ashes, and chopped straw, and a funnel-shaped top, with a pipe leading down the centre of this mixture to nearly the bottom of the receptacle, is to be adapted to the tub. This allows all the fluid to collect in the ves sel, gradually filling it from below upwards. The fluid, intimately mixing with the contained material, converts it into a substance of muddy consistence, with a superficial layer of that which is dry. It is assertod that the result is quite satisfactory, so far as the removal of all offensiveness is con cerned. It also alleged that both these plans have been tried in the French army and elsewhere, with successful results. As we have no practical experience of the matter, we cannot venture to offer an opinion on its merits ; but it appears to us a feasible plan, and one which we should like to see tried. As the inventor has been to Aldershot, and considers, we understand, that it could be tested there, with a trifling expense in adapting existing arrangements to his plan, we hopelthe authorities may afford him the opportunity.—Lancet. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation 01 gold at' Paris is about at par, and t'te short exchange on London is if. 150. per £1 eterline. !ucutoparing these rates with the English Mint price of A.O lis. icid. per ounce for standard gold, it appe...ce thAt gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in Lonuou M the dockyard extension works, Chatham, near the entrance of the factory basin from the re pairing basin, about four o'clock yesterday after noon, several hundred tons of earth fell, and placed in peril more than thirty men. It appears that as Mr. Turner, a foreman of works in the employ of Mr. Gabrielli, the contractor, was look ing round the works before the men knocked off from work for the day, he fortunately observed that some of the timbers were moving, and promptly ordered all the workmen out of harm's way. In a minute or two a large mass of earth, timber, stonework, &c., ga% e way, and fell upon the spot where the men had been working. p., r t of a bridge for a tramway across the basin was carried away. The damage done will inflict a loss on the contractor of perhaps £l,OOO. TIM STN, LONDON, flitlergit rirrNtro, :UNITARY 27, 1870.. sHARB LIST, OJLDINARY afiAlik:3 AND STOCB.S.

Those con victions, you are aware, Sir, have since been con firmed by the whole court. Now, lam instructed, it Thomas, to make au application to you to reduce the fine. Sir Thomas Henry—l have no power to do so. Mr. bounds—The Act says a fine not exceed- Sir Thomas Henry—l imposed the full penalty. That conviction has since been upheld by the Court of Queen's Bench. I could not alter it now. When Mr. Merry weather made his application before me to reduce it, I told him I had enforced the full fine, having taken into consideration the very large profits the defendants had derived from their trade. I have now no power at all to alter it, being since then fanctus officio. Mr. Lound.s—May I be made aware, sir, of the costs? Sir Thomas Henry—Mr. Pollard, from the office of the solicitors to the Treasury will let you know the amount of the costs. The flues must be paid at this court. Mr. Burnaby (Chief Clerk) asked that they should be paid as soon as possible to enable him to include them in this month's account. RAILWAY AND OTHER COMPANIES. BRITISH AND FOREIGN MARINE INSURANCE.

PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. WEDNTADIT. The curtain has fallen on the first act of the great Commercial Treaties debate. M. de Farce de continued his speech yesterday, Baron Lesperut spoke, M. Thiers had a little haggling over one or two of his darling fallacies, and then the "general discus sion" closed. After all this speechifying, the astonished English reader may like to know the difference between the " general " and the " particular " discussions. Ho may not unnaturally ask himself when the end of the real business will arrive, if all this time has been occupied by the preliminaries. The fact is, that the good people of this country, so lively on most matters, are particularly solemn and formal when debates are going on. The free and easy style adopted in the English Parliament would shock French legislators. They regard parliamentary talk as a really serious and heavy business. It is a very poor subject that does not get a moderately good house. Mostly the attendance is very large. The members sit the talk out manfully; they do not run about, and chatter, end enter and re-enter like your own M.P.'s Each repro senta.tifOrllts at the desk which is provided for him, paper knife in hand, ready to "batter down" an obnoxious speaker. If the talk is dull, the French deputy, instead of making an uncere monious bolt, will commence writing his letters—a pleasing occupation, for which the desk system affords ample faci lities. The stream of talk rolls on in majesty from two until about six, when the sitting is closed. Scarcely any subject, no matter what its importance, can keep the anxious patriot after dinner hour. Is a great speech on the way ? It is broken off and continued the neat mor ning. Is important business waiting for the end of the discussion? No greater haste is made on that account. This system of short hours, the tolerance allowed to every speaker, and the sang froid with which the most lengthy yarns aro spun at the most critical moments, greatly impedes the progress of business. But, in addition, our Parliament adopts the system of having a talk about things in general before proceeding to the subject in hand. Thus, all these free-trade speeches have been on the merits of the subject generally. We have but just arrived at the particular business. At the end of the sitting yesterday, the proposition that the Legislative Body name in a public sitting a committee of 2; members to conduct an inquiry into the working of the Anglo-French Treaty was brought up. All the substantial work, it will be seen, has yet to be done. The Chamber has to nomi nate the committee, the inquiry has to take place, and then the Parliament will decide what is to be the policy of the country. There was not much in yesterday's debate that calls for notice. M. de Forcade finished an excellent speech. He is one of those orators whose addresses are better to read than to hear, for though he has a fair voice, his gestures are ungainly and his attitude awkward. Nevertheless, there can be no doubt that the ex-Minister of the Interior is one of the leading men in the Chamber, and, with M. Jules Simon, decidedly the best champion of free trade. Yesterday, taking the subject of the cotton manufacture, he pointed out that the distress did not arise from the competition of England,but from two other causes— the fluctuations in prices caused by the American War, from which England suffered as much as France, and, secondly( the concentration of the manufacture in the great establishments, owing to the disappearance of the smaller ones. Flax was subject to precisely the same influences. In the wool trade the exports of France had immensely increased. As to calico and chintz, the public taste had simply altered, and therefore that branch of manufacture had very severely suffered. M. de Forcade hoped the Parlia mentary inquiry would be as thorough as possible. He was satisfied that the triumph of free trade would be com plete. The Right and Left Centre parties each held their meetings yesterday, and a somewhat suspicious resolution did they arrive at. It has been decided that neither of these bodies is justified in regarding the Treaties of Com merce as a party question. Both the Right and the Loft are of opinion that the subject "is a special and purely technical " one, to be decided by each deputy according to his own convictions. 'Whether he vote for free trade or protection will not matter as regards his status in either of the Liberal camps. Thus we shall still have that strange confusion of political sections which has hitherto marked the dis cussion of the great question. The Right and Left Centre are of course at liberty to decide what are, and what are not, questions of vital party importance ; but assuredly if one decision involves more vital consequenoes to the country than any other, it is this decision as to whether France is to be a protectionist or a free trade state. However, there is one good reason why the two Centres should have arrived at this decision. It is simply impossible to obtain anything like unanimity on this subject. I may add here that the Left Centre—the more advanced Liberals of the Government supporters—has secured the adhesion of several more deputies of late. Amongst these the chief is M. Thiers. This politician, who has been wandering about without a party ever since he found himself unable to agree with the Left, is now enrolled in the ranks of the Left Centre. After the Minister of the Interior came Baron Lesperut who spoke in favour of Protection. M. Thiers made the extravagant assertion that " everyone is aware that in England the Treaty is condemned, and that the Ministers defend themselves by saying that there was no other means of binding France, for if the natiezehad been consulted, it would •neyer have con sented to the arrangement. This will be news to your readers. The debate closed, after the statement from the Minister of Commerce that the Government wished an inquiry, which would, he said, remove many errors and prejudices, besides accustoming the country to the management of its own affairs. In order to chew how, thoroughly the control of trade matters is now in the hands of I'arliauient, the Minister said that a bill for a general Customs' tariff would shortly be brought up. This would be nothing more than a list of the present rates, which the Chamber could modify at pleasure. From Creusot the news is " toujours lien," The strike may be regarded at an end. It is well, for the district was both prosperous end generally contented. Wages there have risen fifty per cent. since 1318. Morality at Creusot is excellent ; the number of illegitimate children bears the astonishingly small proportion of 47 to 1,030, and the condemnations for criminal offences are very few. Every precaution is taken against pauperism, and the workmen are famous for their economy. Fur fifteen years no women have been allowed to work in the mines at Creusot.
