ZIO - NEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIf:yENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There has been a fair demand for money in the general discount market, and the rates remain firm at a trifle under the Bank minimum. The bar sil ver b y th e l ast W est I n di a pac k e t h as been sold at 60d. 7-16ths. The gold for the same Tassel has been taken for the continent. The dollars have also been sold at 59d. ... T he Pennsylvani a R a il wa y C om pany, through the London, Asiatic, and American Company (T. Wig gin an d Co.), are offering to dispose of £200,000 of the general mortgage bonds at 82 per cent., with in - t _ e rest at th e rate of 6 per cent. from J an. 1 , 1868 . The interest is payable at the company's agency in London „on Jan. 1 a n d J u ly 1 i n each year, and the ii r ineipal at par on July 1, 1910. The line and its resources are well known, and it has paid regular di vidends with satisfactory bonuses in stock. Tend ers have been issued by the Metropolitan Dis trict Railway Co. for £500,000 6 per cent. deben tures. This w ill ena bl e t h e company t o com pl e t e that portion of the line from .

The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Friday, the 13th inst., a special settling day in the aeri P of the Egyptian 9 per Cent. Loan for £2,080,000, which is " to be marked." d In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets ti ring the last few days there has been very little aninaation. Sugar has remained in very moderate request, at about p rev i ous prices, while limited transactions have taken place in tea, coffee, and ric e , without any mater i a l c h ange i n va lu e s.

A BLIND OCTOGENARIAN KILLED IN THE STREET.—An inquest was held last evening at St. Bartholo mew's Hospital on the body of Isaac Murray, aged dB. The deceased, who had been a baker, was blind, hut not withstanding this infirmity he was in the habit of walking out alone. Whilst passing along Paul-street, Finsbury, a van was suddenly backed from the yard of Mr. Hall, a corn-chandler. He was knocked down and his thigh bone was broken, He was at once taken to the hospital, but he died from Lis injuries. The jury being of opinion that the carman who backed the horse was not to blame, found a_Terclict of Accidental Death. - THE SUN, LONDON. TUESuAIi EvENING, DECEMBER 10, IRELAND. DUBLIN, Dec. 9. The metropolis was yesterday the scene of some of the most cxtraordinary political demonstrations which have ever been witnessed in this country, familiar as it unfortunately is with every form of popular agitation. It is a suggestive commentary upon the charges of tyranny in which the domestic enemies of the British Government indulge that such a disloyal demonstration could be deliberately undertaken and carried out while the embers of rebellion still smoulder and extraordinary powers have been intrusted to the Executive for the protection of the public peace. Surely a more striking example could not be presented of the forbearance with which England, conscious of her power, treats those who ostentatiously avow that they regard her with malignant hatred, and long for an opportunity to effect her overthrow. No more conclusive answer perhaps could be offered to' the misrepresentations of persons who seek to malign her to foreign States, and presume to con trast, to the prejudice of her character, her conduct to refractory and implacable subjects with the rigors of continental despotism. But a serious ques tion arises, whether this policy of forbearance does not involve too great a risk and some injustice to the classes which are loyal to her, and may not be pushed too far. The demonstration yesterday was one of no ordinary cnaracter, such as under a free constitution might be expected. No one who viewed it in the light of past experience could fail to see that it contained some elements calculated to inspire alarm. It was so regarded by people who are far from desiring to curtail the reasonable liberty, while they dread the unrestricted license, of a disaffected populace, whose minds are influenced by incendiary appeals, and to some extent imbued with socialistic principles. Fenianisw, baffled and defeated in its attempt to wage war with English power, has fallen back upon the lines of what may be thought a moral force egitation, . and a political reaction, it may be feared, will set in, which will be far more dangerous thau . any'lve . have yet seen. If the effect of the demonstration , were merely local or temporary, the Government would have perhapS little reason to regret that they allowed it ; but well disposed and loyal people naturally fear that it will give a new impulse to disaffection, and be followed by serious consequences in other parts of the coun try. They are concerned to see treason stalking in the midst of the populace and obtaining sympathy and shelter. They apprehend mischievous results from such a fusion of Fenianism with the political discontent of the multitude that it will be difficult to separate the baser from the better metal. A stranger visiting this city yesterday might have sup posed, if he judged from the emblems which were displayed, that it was in the hands of the Fenians. It might be difficult to persuade him that all who wore it did not adopt it as the symbol of rebellion, but only as the national colour which they had worn on other occasions of constitutional displays. The fact that it was prescribed and worn by Feniaus gave it another significance. it would be hard to make him understand that thousands who would be ready to join in any manifestation of dissa tisfaction with the British Government would recoil from the idea of taking part in it if they as sumed the form of armed rebellion, although they did not hesitate to march along with others who are prepared to take the field if they saw any chance of success. In a display such as that of yesterday the unthinking and the wavering are brought into dangerous association with more reckless spirits. The movements of bodies of men together also afford a means of military training which secret conspiracy cannot of itself enjoy. Had the Government thought it right to suppress the demonstration it would have had, no doubt, to encounter some obloquy, but there is reason to believe it would have been sustained by the concurrence of the loyal classes of all shades of politics, who look with ap prehension to the possible effects of such proc.!ed ings. Had any citizen conic forward to swear that he apprehended an actual breach of the peace, the authorities were quite prepared to prohibit the pro cession, but that is an invidious task which no one felt disposed voluntarily to undertake, and so the procession took place. As a political demonstration it was imposing only in regard to numbers, and even in that respect not to such an extent as was expected in.a metropolis containing nearly 260,000 people, and recruited as it was from the sur rounding districts. No citizen of any social posi tion or influence, except one or two interested parties, were engaged in it. There was not a private equipage to be seen, not even a town councillor's carriage to lend the semblance of civic dignity to the display. No Roman Catholic clergymen took part in it. The procession was com posed chiefly of well-dressed young men, women, and children. The men belonged to the classes of drapers' and grocers' assistants, clerks, mechanics of various kinds, labourers, sailors, and coalporters. Their comfortable appearance showed that they re ceived good wages, and were able in their class of life to prosper under British misrule, as well as thousands at the other side of the Irish Channel, who are contented with their lot or anxious to im prove it by practical means, but who do not pursue visionary objects and do not waste their time in lamenting their country's grievances. They as suredly did not look like persons who had personal reason to complain of the wrongs of Ireland. Of the young women w h o grace d the aray by their prescr.ce the same observation might be made. They were most of them girls who worked in fac tories, or workshops, or warehouses, who were able to dress respectably for their rank in life, and who seemed in excellent spirits even under such afflict ing circumstances. .. ..:ULCJISIAL GO VE f Briti.!)

Those who are acquainted with Dublin need not be told that here there is a large open space at the north and west side of the Custom-house, which stands parallel with the Liffey at the south-east end, with two fronts, one looking towards the river and the other towards Gardiner-street. The line of houses forms the arc of a circle from a point on the quay to the Custom-house Docks, which lie to the east of the building. At a right angle with Gar diner-street, and parallel with the quays, Abbey street extends in a westerly direction, intersected chiefly by Sackville-street, one of the main arteries of the city, connected with the south side of the river by Carlisle-bridge, and by Capel-street, another artery, connected with Parliament-street by Essex-bridge. It is crossed by several minor streets, which it is not necessary to name. As the hour for setting out approached, crowds of people flocked from every point towards Beresford-place. At 12 o'clock the footways on Carlisle-bridge were almost impassable from the throng. The interven ing sections of the quay and Abbey -street were also filled with a dense concourse, all moving, or trying to move, in the direction of the Custom-house. In the roadway cabs and other vehicles passed to and fro at a slow pace with comparatively little diffi culty. Had the weather been in league with the British Government it could hardly have been more unfavourable. The observation is perhaps unjust to the Government, which was only indifferent or neu tral, while the weather was decidedly hostile to the demonstration. Up to Saturday night a fine clear frost had prevailed and the streets were in excellent condition. Their aspect, however, was sadly changed yesterday. A drizzling rain began to fall at an early hour, and as the day advanced it came down in heavy showers. It certainly rendered wholly un necessary any dramatic affectation of melancholy on the part of the processiouists, for before they started many of them were in a pitiable plight, and when they had completed their funeral march they ap peared sincerely miserable. Before 12 o'clock the place of muster was filled with the materials of the procession collected in chaotic conf us i on . Th e y ex tended for some distance up Gardiner-street and down Abbey-street. There were temperance bands in showy military garb, with gold lace and green facings; men bearing white wands, some with white plumes at the end, others tipped with yellow, and having streamers of green riband. Crape and green ribands were on the hat or arm of every man, and hundreds of the fair sex displayed the " na tional" hue on their bonnets at least ; many of them were profusely decked in green. iluulbera 111ARKETS—(2 his Day.)

From the faded appearance of the latter, it was evident that they had been long in the service, and paraded on other occasions. Green was everywhere the order of the day. News vendors and others were converted for the occasion into haberdashers, and plied a prosperous trade in ribands. The vast majority out of doors appeared " with verdure clad." It was so general in the streets that it ceased to be a mark of distinction ; those only were remarkable who did not flaunt it. How the assembly was marshalled in lines it would be impossible to say. A few mounted men with wands extended rode here and there!, while others on foot went about picking up the threads of the tangled mass. At 12 o'clock a movement of the crowd indicated that the head of the procession had been pulled through into Abbey-street, and the rest gradually unravelled and fell into its place. The programme was substantially followed. In front was a body of " picked men," eight abreast, in tended to give steadiness and solidity to the array. After these came hundreds of the "youth of Dublin,' boys from six to 16 years old, ten deep. These were succeeded by a regiment of women, respectably at tire I, who represented the "ladies" of the city. They displayed the green profusely in their dresses. Three hearses, followed by mourning coaches, hackney carriages, and cabs, with masses of men, women, and children between, were prominent features in the procession. Behind the first Mr. John Martin walked with Mr. A. M. Sullivan as chief mourner for part of the-route, but before it was finished his age and feeble health obliged him to enter one of the carriages. The first hearse had the name "W. P. Allen" printed in sepulchral characters on a cloth suspended at each side. On the top were perched, amid the plumes, two wretched-looking men, apparently helpers in the undertakers' stables, whose appearance had rather a ludicrous effect. Allen's sister, who, if report be correct, has been engaged at all these funeral pageants e was stated to be among those who had places in the mourning coaches; The other hearses bore the natr es. of- O'Brien and Larkin. As the line of procession coiled through the streets, the end received acces sions from fresh bodies of men who fell into the ranks. No fewer than 11 bands marched with it at long intervals between. They played in truly agonising style the " Dead March," " Adeste Fideles," " The Sicilian Mariners' Hymn," " Sa vourneen Dheelisb," and other pathetic airs.. Men were stationed at various points to see that the in structions for the orders of the array were strictly observed, and the procession moved with wonder ful regularity and steadiness. Had the day been fine, it would probably have had an imposing ap pearance, but in some places, especially where the lady contingents marched, it looked in the distance like a moving forest of umbrellas. The streets were covered some inches deep with mud, through which the dresses of the women, who had evidently put on their most attractive finery to enjoy a holy day, trailed and flapped in unsightly fashion, while the files of men had their best suits covered but not adorned with drab embroidery. After meeting some obstructions in the beginning of its course—for all mourning was not political yester day, and there were some real funerals which crossed the path of the mock one—the processionists passed through the route prescribed in the programme. When it reached St. Catherine's Church, in Thomas street, opposite the spot where Emmet was exe cuted,, one of the officers who acted as guides re minded them of the fact and called upon them to show that they revered his memory by taking off their hats. This he did to each section as it passed and the appeal was obeyed with reverential formality. In some instances responsive ejacula tions were uttered by those who marched by, and loud cheers were given. The " ladies" were not the least demonstrative. N umbers of them cheered with a stentorian power which was quite startling, and iu the spirit of fun, which survived the depress ing influence of the day, took off their own and their neighbours' hats as a humorous tribute to the memory of the martyr. When the procession reached College-green, after winding through Winetavern-street, a portion of the South quays, Parliament-street, and Dame-street, it stood in front of the Bank of Ireland, send paid a stnilar mark of, respect to the scene of the old Irish Parliament and the volunteers of 1782. The men marched in tolerably good order, and some of them with mili tary precision, halting at the word of command and beating time. It is, of course, extremely diffi cult to form anything like a correct estimate of the numbers, but counting the waves of the human tide as it flowed past at one spot, where it was fully developed, multiplying by the files, and computing the whole time occupied in passing —an hour and 20 minutes—it may with tolerable confidence be stated that the number actually in the procession was under 16,000, of whom between 3,000 and 4,000 were women and children. In passing up Sackville-street it was reinforced by some collateral processions, which marched on the footpaths, and thousands of others similarly at tired were in the streets as spectators. Along the route they were saluted by waving of hand kerchiefs and green scarves from the windows. Ten soldiers of the 86th, in their great coats, partly open, walked in the procession. Ot the various trades there were computed to be 300 plasterers, 350 painters, 1,000 boot and shoe makers, 500 bricklayers, 300 carpenters, 350 slaters, 300 sawyers; there were 500 quay porters. The O'Donoglme wrote to the committee sympa thising with the demonstration, and also the Boys. P. Lavelle and L. J. O'Shea. The strictest sobriety and order were observed during the day. Processions also took place yesterday at Limerick, Midleton, Skibbereen, and Mitchelstown. At Limerick 4,000 walked. At all the Roman Ca tholic churches prayers were offered for the souls of the executed men. At St. Michael's the Rev. James Browne expressed his approval of the procession. He said it had been stated by the Premier that it was not illegal, and therefore there was no crime in paying tribute to the memory of patriots. At New Cemetery the Rev. P. Guaide addressed the processionists, advising sobriety and discretion. All knelt and offered prayers for the souls of the deceased.

In the refined market there is no material alteration to report, quotations being steady. COFFEE.—The market is without animation, and the few small sales effected have been about previous rates.

RICE.—A very limited business has been entered into, chiefly in soft grai❑ descriptions for exportation, and quo toti,,ns show less firmness.

'o -day, Sir Culling Eardley, Bart., was placed bi:E.ore Mr. Flower to answer a charge of bigamy. T.lie defendant was apprehended on a warrant which ci targed him with feloniously marrying, on the 12th of September, 1867, Mary Alleyne, his wife, Emily Fl orence, being then alive. i'vlr. Giffard, Q.C., prosecuted, and Mr. M. Williams appeared for the prisoner. . Mr. Magee said—l reside at No. 4, Lancaster street, Hyde-park. In the year 1859 I was living in New York, and at the time I had my daughter, Emily Florence, residing with me. In the course of that year I became acquainted with the defendant, Sir Culling Eardley. He ultimately paid his addresses to my daughter, and was married to her on the 12th Dec., 1859, at Calvary Church, in. the episcopal diocese of New York. The mar riage was performed in the ordinary way by a person in. holy orders. I heard the - defendant and my daughter consent to become husband and wife. I after wards saw the 'prisoner sign the.register. Mr. M. Williams—You saw the prisoner sign something► ? Witness—The clergyman said it was the register. As long as I remained in New York the newly married pair lived together as husband and wife. Cross-examined by Mr. M. Williams—l first became acquainted with the prisoner at the latter end of November of the year 1859. I knew him to be domiciled in New York three or four weeks before the marriage. Mr. Williams—Can you swear that of your own knowledge? Witness—Yes, I can. Mr. Wrilliarns--You positively swear that you saw the defendant 21 clear days in New York be fore the marriage. Witness—lVell, I'll not be positive, but I think it was so. Mr: Williams—Who was present At the mar riage ? Witness—Cyrus Field and' some of his family. He is a person of known respectability, "Y think, in England. Another gentleman, who is at present in court, was also there. Mr. Strepham produced the certificate of the officiating minister in New York of the marriage properly signed and sealed. Mr. Moseley said—l was present at the marriage in New York of the prisoner and' Miss Magee. I have a sort of recollection about the signing of the registering ; it is nine years ago. I went into a room after the ceremony. Mr. M. Williams—You will not be quite certain about signing the register ? Witness—Well it is now nine years ago. At the conclusion of the evidence, Mr. Flower said he should send the case foi trial, and before he admitted the prisoner to bail, aJudge at Chambers would have to be consulted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, THAMES. AUDACIOUS SHOP ROBBERY.--William Tolridge, a well-known thief, was brought up on remand be fore Mr. Benson charged with being concerned with another fellow, not in custody, in stealing six pieces of linsey and Cobourg cloth for ladies' dresses, measuring in all 180 yards, from the shop of Mr. Peter Jones, in Green-street, Stepney. A few evenings since the prosecutor missed six pieces of stuff and linsey, and he saw three pieces, measuring 111 yards, at the station-house in Arbour-street East, adjoining the court on the following morning. On the evening of the robbery Stephen Moore, a police-constable, No. 170 K, was on duty in Alfred-street, Stepney, and saw the prisoner and another man each with a load on his shoulders. They passed him, and ap peared much disconcerted. They quickened their pace and looked behind them directly they had passed the constable, whose sus picions were excited. He walked towards them and both thieves ran away. Moore pursued them and called " Stop thief." The fleetest of the two rogues escaped with his booty. The prisoner threw his loal from his . shoulders, and ran into the arms of Mr. Francis Huggins, of No. 23, Bridge-street, Stepney, who looked in the direction which the prisoner had come from, and found three pieces of the stuff which the prisoner\ had thrown away. The pie3es were identified by Mr. Jones. James Briden, a detective police sergeant, No. 4 li, stated that the prisoner had been twice con victed of larceny in the Thames Police Court, and sentenced on the first occasion to three months' imprisonment and hard labour, and on the second occasion to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. Subsequently the prisoner was convicted by, a jury at the Sessions and sentenced to 12 months imprisonment and hard labour for stealing 15 cwt. of lead. The prisoner had been convicted at the Ilford Petty Sessions since then and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mr. Benson—Four convictions agaiest him. Briden—Yes, air, I know of four. I believe there are others which I know not of. Mr. Benson—l have no hesitation in committing the prisoner for trial.

I wish I knew his daughter that I could make the announcement to her." THE UNITED KINGDOM ALLIANCTAf The annual soirée of the London Auxilia y o f thi s association was held last night at the Whittington Club, Arundel-street, Strand. Between 500 and 600 of the members of the Alliance and their friends assembled together and partook of tea, after which the general meeting was held in the hall room. The chair was, taken by the Venerable Archdeacon Sandford, who Ives supported on the platform by the Rev. S. A. Steinthal and J. H. Raper, who attended as a, deputation from the United Kingdom Affiance, G. Thompson, Dr. Brewer, the Rev. J. Burns, Dr. Hardwicke, and various other ministers and gentlemen. The report, which was read by the hon. secretary, Mr. Williams, stated that since the last annual soiree the London Auxiliary had held numerous meetings and conferences in sup.' port of the cause, and that altogether during the year upwards of 200 meetings, at Which the aggregate attendance was between 40,000 'and 50,000 persons, had been addressed by the advocates of the Affiance. One of the means by which the Alliance had endeavoured to sup: port the cause was by acting upon the electors with a view of returning members who would vote for the Per missive Bill. The result had been that 13,000 circulars had been sent to the electors of Westminster, South-, wark, Greenwich, Tower Hamlets, Finsbury, Lambeth; and Marylebone, in response to which 2,707 had expressed their approval of the Permissive Bill, and in addition they had received the signatures of 704 supporters, whose names had been accidentally omitted from the register this year. Special action was about to be taken in reference to the City. The receipts of the Auxiliary during the year ending November 25, amounted to £713135. 6d. This included a grant of £550 from Manchester. The whole of this sum, with the exception of a balance of £3 odd, had been expended in promoting the work of the Alliance. Addresses ha favour of the cause were afterwards made by the Ven. Chairman, the Rev. S. A. Steinthal, Mr. G. Thompson, Dr. Brewer, Dr. Hardwicke, and other ministers and gentlemen, and resolutions were passed to the effect that the permanent benefit to public health which would accrue from the removal of facilities for drunkenness afforded a powerful inducement to continue the Alliance agitation ; that statesmen, ministers of religion, the press, and public men of every class were under peculiar obligations to support the abatement of national intem perance by all constitutional means ; and -that the impor tant work of influencing the electoral constituencies in favour of permissive legislation required unremitting and earnest cultivation. A cordial vote of thanks to the Ven. Archdeacon concluded the proceedings, which were en livened by a series of choral performances by the City of London Senior Band of Hope. OUR MEAT StiPPLIES. It is announced that " Australian beef, either boiled or stewed, but fresh, and sealed in air-tight tins, is now sold at 7d. per pound in London. To equal in cheapness this meat without any bone, our ordinary joints with bone would have to be sold at little more than 4d. per pound." If we are to obtain our beef through the vicissitude of sixteen thousand miles -of ocean, we shall realise the situation of Napoleon's celebrated mot—" Whet: England becomes dependent upon imports for her focd, then she can be conquered." A supply oi sound, wholesome meat from somewhere near the South Pole is likely to be something more than a venturesome experiment ; of this we may rest assured.: We quote the following from a late number of thei Sydney Morning Herald. The writer of a very valuable series of articles headed " The Land " says: " Good wedders, with six months' wool upon them, fetch only. 7s. 6d. a head in the Melbourne market. The expenses of driving, commission, &c., amount to 2s. 6d., and each fleece is worth 3s. ; so that only 2s. is left for the carcase. The Advocates of `boiling down' say that the tallow would be worth 55., which, with 3s. for the fleece, would give a better return, and save the expense and loss of driving to market. Now, if the herds and flocks have increased to a point beyond which they cease to be pro fitable, it will be a losing game to go on; and mixed farming, allowing of the production of such articles as can be easily transported to good markets, must ensue. The climate and soil of Victoria, as well as of New South Wales, is happily suited to multitudes of paying crops—grain, wine, oranges, perishable fruits of all sorts ; coffee, sugar, tobacco, cotton, and the several sorts of foliage upon which silkworms feed. But for the present the Boiling-down Company in Deniliquin will have a fat time of it. An establishment at Hay is to be constructed capable of reducing at least 10,000 sheep a week. The operations of the company, considering that in England last year were imported 790,880 sheep and lambs for food, and that mutton ranges there from Cd. to Bd. per pound, can scarcely be viewed with satisfaction, although they are doing the best thing that can be done just now." A common-sense measure toward increasing the supply of butcher's meat at home would be to take better care of the animals we breed for the purpose. A great autho rity estimates our loss of live stock by diseases which are of foreign origin at six millions sterling per year for several years past. Everybody admits that it must be something very much like this figure ; and the question is, how to procure animals from abroad w ith ou t l et ti ng h i the contagious disorder. Agriculturists are afraid that the successful mastery obtained over the cattle plague may lead, by natural reaction, to weariness of the whole subject ; whereas now is just the time for instituting or preserving seaport regulations which may be an effec tual safeguard against the importation of the dreaded evils, while leaving the internal cattle traffic of the coun try free of those restrictions which have pressed heavily upon the meat markets. The public is perhaps not aware of a strong, almost universal feeling among breeders and graziers, that they, could send even more meat into our markets than they do now, if they had no imported store stock from foreign countries. Ireland, they say, is an ample breeding ground for the stocking of our summer pastures and winter yards and byres, n addition to the animals bred in Great Britain itself. A large part of the danger of admitting destructive mala-: dies would be obviated if importation consisted only of animals fit for food. Develope the importation of meat as much as you like ; we are prepared to take our chance in our home markets against the graziers, feeders, and flesh-picklers of all the world ; but we can conduct an extensive husbandry, and furnish as much butcher's meat as our vegetable produce will allow, without buying calves, lambs, or young or lean animals from abroad. For years and years we have lost by death from imported diseases more animals than have landed on our shores for the purpose of being fed here. LYONS, THE BRAVE SAILOR.—Mr. Benson, tile magistrate at the Thames Police-court, has announced that the amount forwarded through various channels for the seaman William Lyons, who at the risk of his life went into a burning house to save the life of a woman,' and was much injured, had reached MO. This large sum has all been voluntarily subscribed in the short space of seven weeks. The worthy magistrate said there ought to be moderation even in charity, and that the public benevo. lence, particularly at this inclement season, ought not to be concentrated upon one object. He therefore must decline to receive any further gifts for Lyons. There are so many other pressing claims upon the benevolent that the charitably disposed will easily find worthy recipients for their spare coin.
