NuNEY -111ARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENOS, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A very steady b us i ness i s reported i n the dis count market, and there is some activity, inducing bankers and bill brokers to attempt an advance of terms. Affairs for a considerable period having been stationary the slightest movement is a feature, so there is much said of the outside mark©t mini mum being 24 instead of 2 per cent. Capitalists, In asking an infinitesimal increase of rate naively refer to the outflow of gold to the Continent, and the large sum kept in the country instead of being Bent:to Loudon, and adroitly disguise the fact that pro vincial supplies would be unprofitable to remitters 1141 1 the metropolitan supplies exceed require ments. A. very moderate amount of business has been transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets since the reopening of th 3 Easter holidays, but prices generally have been steadily maintained. _ S ugar sold a t f ormer rates. For coffee there has been a fair demand at in some instances barely pre /iclus quotations ; while rice, owing to the smallness of stock s on hand, is held for enhanced prices. Tal low has been in better request, but without material change as regards values. MAt a m eet i ng of the shareholders of the Australian ort gage, Land, a n d Fi nance C ompany , h e ld to y' t he Payment of a dividend, free of income-tax for the six months ending Dec. 31, 1866, at the rate o f 1 0 per cent. per annum (making a total of 10 per cent, for the year) was declared. We take the following from the American, com menting upon International Postage :—" It is no uger n ecessary to pay enormous subsidies for rapid transmission. If this be doubted, let us have an unlimited mail at a penny a letter, and a limited beell at any pr i ce from a sixpence to a sovereign, and n the respective earnings of the two will show Iv bleb has the preference of the public. But in these days ,, of uns u b s i dized freight and passenger steamers, t he mere statement of the proposition is enough. Any 00e w ho has st u di e d t h e matter at a ll wou ld say that th e Penny rate in the unlimited mail would be k.ot °lll y self-suppo r ti ng b u t pro fit a bl e , w hile the n lgOer rate, otcompeting with a penny post, could made to pay one-fourth of its expenses at any Postal revenues should be matters of secon d:ly con s id eration when the intercourse between at ions is i nvo l ved. But in this case we can bring anye xperien ce reasonabl e amount of evidence from past to show that the revenue would increase wit h every re d uction till the maximum revenue and the m i nimum postage might possibly be reached a penny letter. r En gland and th e U n it e d S tates are equa ll y 0 e : t ell in cheap International Postage. Their unity lan guage and co mmun i ty o f peop l es, ma k e i t a smatt er of e s p ec i al importance to them. A vast corre s Pondence would spring up if all in the one country Who have relatives in the other could write when ever they knowled ge would at the cost of a p enn y, th e mu t ua l of the peoples would be greatly in creased, and eac h would i mprove much i n t h e pinion of the other upon better acquaintance ; distrust and dislike would gradually give way ; Confidence and good feeling would predominate more and more ; the old commerce would be greatly augmented, and new opinions for trade would constantly occur ; and we might even hope that in all these various ways the two countries W ould gradually become so bound together that no madness of their rulers could plunge them into desolating war, or prevent their standing, ever side by Side, like true mother and daughter, in the van guard of civilisation." A withdrawal of £B,OOO took place at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. The Bank of England return for the past Week shows no very important changes, although it is generally of a favourable character. The bul lion has only been decreased to the extent of £50,587, while the reserve of notes shows an aug mentation of £205,425. The other securities have ru n off to the extent of £275,166, while a large increase is shown in the public deposits, and a cor responding decrease in the private balances.

At a meeting held to-day of the Land Mortgage Bank of India, the report of the directors showed a balance in favour of the bank of £23,091 18s. 11d., and a dividend of 4 per cent. per annum was declared. The third annual general meeting of the share holders of the International Land Credit Company (Limited) will be held on th% 16th of May next. The return of the Bank of France for the past week, as compared with the former report, shows the following alterations :—There has been an increase of £316,000 in the c ish, of £380,000 in the commercial bills, of £B,OOO in the advances, and of £1,560,000 in the current accounts ; but the notes have decreased £312,000, and the Treasury balance £666,667.

An advance of per cent. has taken place in the market for consols, which are now quoted at 90i- I n) for transfer and the account. This improve eet P is occasioned by less discouraging telegrams ,re'ra aris and Berlin, and hence a less warlike 'cell /1g in speculative circles.

MANCHESTER, April 24-- Although this is not one of the regular mar k et taken place in th e positionys, a chang e h as su ddenly A large business i s re of sellers for the better. —20,000 bales at Id. ported in co t ton at Li ver p oo l 4 d, per lb. better than yesterday, and this has reacted on • prices here. The change is attributed in part to a statement in a French paper, which gives greater hopes of peace than have hitherto prevailed. The feeling here effect took too late to lead to much business, but before the close of business a very active in • quiry had sprung up, and some fair offers were making . Spinners and manu facturers, however, were asking higher rates, and were disposed in some cases to hold over their goods till to-morrow (market day) rather the full prices which were Everything is decidedly firmer in price, and inclin ing to an advance. BRADFORD, 256.—The wool-market has under gone no change during the present week. The flatness in cotton and the unsettled state of political matters have such a depressing effect on wool that the question of price is uo longer a consideration whether the spinner will supply himself or not. Lower prices constitute no inducement. Operations are alto gether deferred, except for the most pressing and urgent wants. 'The near approach of clip also tends to induce caution. Staplera, who aro obliged to sell, will yield a marked sacrifice in order to effect sales. Most staplers, however, prefer to hold, and refrain from business in the present tendency to decline. In worsted yarns there are the same de pressing influences in operation, and scarcely any business doing either for foreign or home account. A few spinners are still in possession of orders, but most are either stopping their frames or spinning to stock as contracts expire. The business done in pieces is very small and far below the average, although this is the most active department. The uncertainty in foreign polities has not only a prejudicial effect on the demand for Germany, but also interferes with the trade for other quarters. Buyers. confine their operations to absolute necessity. Prices are easier. CRICKET.—The match which commenced on Monday on the English Cricket-ground in the Bois de Bon logne, between the Paris and Marylebone Clubs, was ter minated on Thursday, the latter winning by one innings and 133 runs. The scori g was as follows ;---Ilarylabone, first innings, 256 ; Paris Cricket Club, both innings, 121. How ILLEGITIMACY IN TIIE NORTH OF SCOTLAND is ACCOUNTED FOIL.—On the 3d day of April current a decree was pronounced in the Sheriff Court of Banffshire, at the instance of a female residing in the county against a man who is resident in it, for " inlying expenses incurred to the pursuer in giving birth, on the 13th day of March, 1866, to two male and two female illegitimate children." One of the females was dead at birth, and the two males died within a short time thereafter; the fourth child, a female, being still alive. The births of the whole four must, of course, have figured in the registrar's list, and the high rate of illegitimacy in Banffshire need not to be won dered at when such instances of fecundity occur to swell it.—Banfishire Journal. The report of the directors of the Land Mortgage Bank of India recommend a dividend of 4 per cent. per annum. THE SUN, LON I, ON, FRltm Y Lv ENING, APRIL 26 1867. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER. 'Sittings in Banco before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Pigott. SLADE V. SLADE. This remarkable case, which involves the descent of the titles and estates of the late Sir Fred. Slade, Q.C., a gentleman who obtained great distinction at the English bar, was argued this morning before the Barons of Exchequer. The Solicitor-General (Sir John Kerslake), Mr. Kingdon, Q.C., and Mr. Balkr were counsel for the pl,aintiff ; and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Mr. Mel lish, Q.C., Mr. henry Matthews, Mr. Montague Bere, and Mr. Wallis, represented the defendant. The plaintiff in this case is L;eutenant-General Sir Marcus a twin brother of the late Sir Frederick, and formerly Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey, and the defendant is Sir Alfred F. A. Slade, the eldest son of the late baronet. The question at issue between the parties is the validity of the marriage of Sir Frederick with his wife, Barbara Maria, the only sister of L)rd Vaux, of Harrowden. It is alleged on the piirt of the plaintiffs that the lady had been previously married at Milan in 1825 to the Baron von Koerber, an officer in the Austrian service, and who was alive a the date of her marriage with Sir Frederick. On the other side it is alleged that the Baron having been a Protestant and Miss Mostyn a Roman Catholic, the formalities required by such a marriage were not complied with according to the Austrian law, and consequently that the marriage was void. The case was originally tried at the Somersetshire Assizes, but the points at issue were considered too compli- . cated for a jury ; and a special case was stated in order that the question should be brought before the judges, who should have power to determine all questions of fact as well as of law. The Solicitor-General having briefly introduced the case by narrating the facts above stated, pro ceeded to read a number of documents, narrating the proceedings of the marriage ceremony between Lady Slade and Baron von Koerber, who, he con tended, were conducted with all the solemnity and force necessary to make the marriage legal. According to the rules laid down, it was necessary that the marriage should ba intended by both parties, that there should be consent and a knowledge that they were about to marry ; and in raising a question as to the validity of marriage at a future period these points must be thoroughly ascertained. For instance, the clergyman ought to be a regularly ordained Churchman, acting in that capacity. In the case of this marriage it was ob viously so. Then there would be the subsequent conduct of the parties, where the wife might be treated as the lawful wife and the children as legiti mate children. Ihe case is expected to last several days.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE D'ARCIS--THE AUTOGRAPHIC MIRROR. The bankrupt was the editor of the " Autographic Mirror," and to-day was appointed for the order of discharge. The accounts show a total indebtedness of £3,500 ; the assets being £3,100, the large sum of £1,470 having been handed over to the assignees. His honour adjourned the case as the parties are endeavouring to annul the bankruptcy. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW STREET. POCKET PICKING AT A FlRE.—George Donovan, a youth of about 19 or 20 years of age, was brought up on remand, charged with attempting to cut away the pocket and purse of a lady in Arundel-street, Strand, on Wednesday night. Miss Jessie Purvis stated that she had recently come to London from Scotland, on:her way to Paris, and was staying at a friend's iu Arundel-street, Strand. On Wednesday evening, while the fire which destroyed some of the sheds on the Thames Embankment was burning, a crowd had assembled in Arundel-street to witness the conflagration. She also paused for a moment, but her attention was almost immediately withdrawn from the fire by feel ing a tug at her pocket. She seized the hand which was pulling at her dress and c)ufr anted the pick pocket, the prisoner at the bar. In one hand he held her pocket containing her purse, and in the other a knife with which he was cutting it away from its fastenings. lie had cut the pocket com pletely away, but had not yet disentangled it from her dress. Police constable Dowdell, of the F division, said he was on duty in private clothes, and had been watching the prisoner about five minutes previously is the attempt. He saw the prisoner cutting Miss Purvis's dress, and seized his hand 'at the same time she did. A gentleman, who was with the prosecu trix, caught his other hand at the same moment. Finding himself in the grip of three persons at once the prisoner made no resistance, and witness took him to the station. The prisoner said there were two others " in it," and it was one of them that cut the pocket. The witnesses adhered to their statement that they seized him with the pocket in his hand. Dowdell said he believed, if time were given, he could show that the prisoner had been previously _ convicted. Miss Purvis said it wou ld be very incon venient for her to attend a ga i n , as she wanted to g o on to Paris. The prisoner up on thi s a lt e red his tone, and said he should plead no t gu il ty , and take his tri al. The magistrate, however, reminded the prisoner that he had p ower t o d ea l W i t h him as a rogue and vagabond, which he probably should do if it turned out that Dowdell was right in believing that he had been previously convicted. The prisoner was remanded for further inquiry. MARLBORO UGH-S THEET. OUTRAGEOUS COND UCT IN HYDE-PARK.—John Allsop, a man o f co l our, d escr ibing himself as a sea man, was charged before Mr. Kno x with bein g drunk and disord er l y, an d assau lting George West, a labouring man, i n H yde-par k. The complain an t sa i d he was s itting on a seat in Hjde-park, yesterday afternoon, when the prisoner came up to him with some books in his hand, and said, " this seat belong to me," and immediately struck him as hard as he could two or three blows in the face. In answer to Mr. Knox, the complainant said the prisoner had been drinking, but well know what ho was about. The prisoner said that when he fell on the com plainant he begged his pardon, but the complainant called him a " black." of the R eg i s t rar - o ff ice o f The complainant denied this. through Hyd e -park yesterday afternoon, on his way home to B a y swa ter, S e ate . nC, h s a a r id les h E e E. w ß as ea p ch a , ssing when he saw the prisoner go up to the complainant, who was quietly sitting on a seat, and strike him two or three blows on the face, the complainant not having given the slightest provocation, and he had never witnessed such a savage assault before in his life. Mr. Philip Thos. Saunders, of N o . 14 , Bes b teacher oru gsre of music, t, S d be a Hyde park yesterday afternoon with a pupil, a son of Mr. t s a t . i George's. vas passing th roug h H y d e- e' s square, tut or an d Montefiore, when the prisoner, in a very rude man ner, came up and offered him some books for sale, and made use of very insulti ng an d disgraceful languag', on his telling him t o go away, th e pri soner's conduct being such that his pupil was afraid of him. He afterwards saw the prisoner go up and insult some ladies in a similar manner, and while he was speaking to a constable and a park-keeper, he said the prisoner was already in custody higher up the park. The prisoner had been drinking, but was not drunk, and well knew what he was about, but he seemed drunk to every person lie approached —especially ladies. Ile (Mr. Saunders) had at tended the court at some trouble, but felt it his duty to do so on behalf of the public, who, like him self,went tothe park for recreation, as he considered they were entitled to protection. Police-constable Hall, 350 A, proved seeing the prisoner go up to the complainant and strike him two or three violent blows. The prisoner made use of bad language, was obliged to be carried to the park station, and while being brought from the park to the Marlborough-mews Station, behaved in a very violent manner, throwing him (Hall), and kicking him and another constable about the legs, and it required four constables to get him to the station. Another constable having given similar evidence, The prisoner asked the magistrate to excuse him this time, as he had a family to keep. Ile had a license to sell books, but his license had run out, awl he was trying to get some money to get another. Ile had always before been a sober man and a tee totaller for nine years. Mr. Knox said the prisoner had insulted every passer-by, especially ladies who could not defend themselves, and then assau:ted a man in a most un provoked manner. If the prisoner thought he could behave in such a manner in a civilised country he was mistaken. As a warning to others, he would give the prisoner the full penalty, and that was that he be imprisoned with hard labour fur two months. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION AT NORWICH.— A Conservative dinner took place at Norwich last evening. The leading guests comprised Sir W. Bagge, M.P., Mr. E. Howes, M.P., Mr. C. S. Read, M.P., the Hon. T. de Grey, M.P., and Sir. E. Lacon, M.P. Lord Stanley had been in vited to attend, but was unable to leave town. PURCHASE OF LIVINGS BY CLERGYMEN.—The Lord Chancellor has sold 22 advowsous to clergymen since November, 1863, when the act allowing the sale of these Crown livings came into operation. This is exactly ono in four of all the purchases of the Lord Chancellor's liyiugs, the whole number sold haying been 88. TIIAMES. AN UNMITIGATED SCOUNDREL.—Janes Newman, a labourer, about 27 years of age, was brought be fore Mr. Paget charged with being disorderly in the Carlton Arms publichouse, at the corner of Devon shire-street, opposite the Great Eastern Railway, • Globe-road, Mile-end. It appeared from the evidence of Mary Black, a bar-woman, in the service of Mr. Hugh Cotter, the landlord of the Carlton Arms, that the prisoner called there yesterday afternoon, and called for a pot of malt liquor, which she refused to part with until it was paid for. lie made use of abusive language, reached over the bar, and took the quart of " half-and-half" from her, and he and his com panions drank it. The bar-woman demanded the money for it, and he made use of fearful language, which she could not repeat, and then turned on the taps of the cordials and the brandy and wasted the liquors. He remained in the house making a dis turbance until the landlord returned, and was then given into custody. Mr. Hugh Cotter, the landlord of the Carlton Arms, said the prisoner had been a source of re peated annoyance to him for a long time. lie had forbidden him the house and refused to serve him with anything. The witness then gave utterance to some of the disguesting language used towards his bar-woman, and which the prisoner repeated in hi s presence. lie never heard worse language in , his life. The prisoner was an unmitigated scoundrel. Mr. Paget said it was not to be endured that a fellow like the prisoner was to cuter a respectable publichouse and expose a young woman of decency and respectability to his brutal insolence, and to use . language to her which was too disgusting for her to repeat. The prisoner was a ruffian of the worst class, and no doubt a terror to those licensed vic tuallers who kept orderly houses. He fined the prisoner 405., and, in default of payment, to be im prisoned 14 days. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is t 5.124 per £1 sterling. On tomparing these rates with the English Mint price 01 A 4 toid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about .-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about foe} per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United titates. FIRE AT THE KENSINGTON BAZAAR.—This (Friday) morning, about one o'clock, a fire broke out in the largo double-building known as the Kensington Bazaar, in High-street, Kensington, the property of Mr. George Guay. Conductor Green at once attended with the Royal Society's escape, but was seriously injured in extinguishing the fire. Shand, Mason, and Co.'s land steamers attended, but the fire was not extinguished until serious damage was done. THE FENIAN TRIALS.—The Commission for the trial of the Fenian prisoners resumed its sittings in Dublin on Wednesday morning before the Lord Chief Justice, Judge Fitzgerald, and Baron Deasy. The greater part of the day was occupied with discussions relative to certain legal technicalities and the arraignment of several pri soners. We learn by telegraph that the Commission was occupied the whole of yesterday in the discussion of legal objections raised by the prisoners' counsel. A jury was sworn to try Thomas Burke and Patrick Doran, after which the Court adjourned until to-day, when the Attorney- General was to state the case for the prosecution. A letter has been published purporting to have been writtenby the escaped Fenian Centre Kirwan,'who, the communication —which may or may not be genuine —states has reached Paris in safety. The Etendard publishes the following telegram —" Stockholm, 23d.—The Duke of Dalecarr h apo plexy. a,youngestt brother of the King of Sweden, has been struck w All hop e i s l ost of saving the life of the prince, who had just completed his 36th year." Mr. liarford Mellor asserts that he has discovered the remains of King Alfred, which have now boon buried 966 years. The bodies of Ethelbald and Ethelbert, Kiug Alfred's two brothers, lie buried in Sherbourne Abbey. Mr. Mellor feels confident that the royal remains are now lying in the gilt mortuary over the chancel of Hyde-parish Church, near Winchester, and the two leaden plates found by him, with the King's name upon them, are now in the hands of the vicar. THE TURRET SIIIP WYVERN.—We are requested to state that a report regar din g her Majesty's ship Wy vern, referred to in our Irish Correspondent's Letter appearing on the 23d inst., is entirely without foundation. The ves sel did not prove dangerous or unmanageable, and was nut sent into the Channel in pursuit of Kirwan, as stated. A. PARISIAN ANoNniA.—A lady, supposed to bo a Javan, is now setting Paris by the ears. She is from five to six and twenty. Her complexion is of a warm golden tint, like Florentine bronze. She is never clad but in a black dress, made high, and ending at the neck in a row of large coral beads of a blood red, and at her wrists with bracelets of the same material and hue. From be neath her cap, a sort of beret or Scotch bonnet—black also, and encircled with a row of coral beads—flow long and thick tresses, so black that they are blue. She is never seen on foot. Her "Victoria" is drawn by a pair of ponies black as eb on y , at a pace which makes the the pavement smoke again. The biack and red of her costume and equipage, added to her bronzed complexion, invest her with a sinister and somewhat diabolical air. She is known only by the designation of " La Dame au CoraiL" It is said that she spends much of her time playing on a species of guzla, or else practising with a saloon pistol at a target, which target represents a female figure, of blonde complexion, about the size of the largest dolls; lastly, that she is from Java, and lives exclusively on fruit and preserves. She is said to have blown out the brains of one of her slaves who entered her apartment un summoned. But the most remarkable circumstance about her is that day or night the shutters are closed, and her apartment illuminated with candelabras. At night she sings plaintive melodies more like wailings than set tunes, and she smokes opium and sleeps on panther skins. She is said to bo the widow of a great personage in the island of Sumatra, who had committed suicide after an outburst of jealousy on her par!, caused by his suspected attachment to the wife of an English naval offic.—Paris Paper. CABINET COUNCIL. —Yesterday evening sum monses were issued for a Cabinet Council, at the First -Lord of the Treasury's official yesidence, in Downing street, to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. .'PER f TTSI-% kr-7 1 ~.~ ,r
