MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLock. A very quiet demand for money is reported in the Discount Market to-day. Trade of most kinds being very dull, the number of bills on offer are propor tionately limited, and the rates are almost nominal, Si nce approved securities can be negociated almost on any terms the borrower is disposed to dictate. The sum of £5,000 was taken from the Bank of England yesterday. A small amount of specie has arrived by the City of Antwerp from New York. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Saturday, 9 7th inst., a special settling day in the Midland Railway £2 preference shares, which are " to be marked." It is estimated that the excess dividend on Zealand Railway shares for the year 18G6 of / per cent., or 3 8. per share over and above the interest of 4 per cent. guaranteed by the Danish Government, will be paid by Messrs C. J. Hambro and Son on the 25th instant. Two o'CLooK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 65f. 15c. All offered. Great uneasiness. Only a small amount of business has been trans acted in the market for the English Funds. The investments have been few and for small amounts of stock, and speculation is to an extent held in check by the variableness of the Paris Bourse, and the unsettled feeling engendered by the Luxembourg affair, and the warlike preparations g oi ng forward in France. Upon the whole, how ever, Values are well sustained, the confidence felt in the Government, the state of the Money Market, the a rrivals of g o ld, th e li m i te d exports o f th at Metal, and the satisfactory way in which commercial credit is kept up, all tending to impart some firm teB, if not act i v i ty, to the respective departments in he Stock Exchange.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Lush.) MORRIS V. LAWRENCE. Mr. 'Udall, on the part of the defendant, moved for a rule for a now trial in this case, which was originally tried before Mr. Justice Mellor, the jury giving a verdict for the plaintiff for £3O, on the ground of misconception of the evidence. The defendant pleaded never indebted, the transaction giving rise to the suit being the disposal of an entire horse, called Lires, which the defendant said he had bought of a person named Walker. At the trial it was sought to be proved that Walker was the agent of the plaintiff, but Morris denied that, and it was contended by his counsel that Walker was looked upon by the plaintiff as the agent of Lawrence. Mr. Justice Blackburn—Then the real question before the Court is, who is to lose the money ? Mr. Udell said the question to be decided was, had Law rence the power to dispoe., of th s horse ? and he contended he lied. The plaintiff ust Walker at 011.ster Races, and eventually he visited Mr. Morris, and had an insp action of his stud. On perceiving the horse Zeros he stated to Morris that the horse was just the sort of thing that would suit his brother-in-law ; and some arrangement then took place with respect to its sale. Eventually the horse was sent to Walker, and by him disposed of to Lawrence. After a certain period, Morris not having received the value of the horse, he wrote to Lawrence requesting him to for ward the price of the animal to him without delay, but Lawrence replied that he had bought the horse of Walker , and that ho had paid him the money for it. An action ' was brought for the recovery of the horse, at which the question arose as to how Walker became possessed of the animal, whether as a bona fide pUrchaser or as the agent of Lawrence. The learned counsel contended that the point to,be decided was, whether Walker hed sufficient pro perty in the horse to affect a legal sale, or whether he acted as the agent of Lawrence. The learned counsel quoted the authority of Baron Parke to support his view, that the defendant had power to dispose of the horse. Mr. Justice Blackburn directed the attention of the learned gentleman to the preceding passages to that quoted, and as they put a different construction on the passage, he said he did not wish to say that the learned counsel had misrepresented the opinion of Baron Parke, but that he had not understood him. Mr. Udall said the remark of the learned judge was civil, but they quito understood such observations, lie (the learned counsel) was never uncivil to any judge. After some further arguments, the Court refused the rule. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Roche.) IN RE F. BROWNE. This bankrupt, Miss Frances Browne, was described as authoress, of 1, Onslow-villas, Cambrian-road, Richmond, previously of 4, Rosedale-terrace, Notting - hill, and to-day was appointed for the first meeting. The bankrupt ascribed her failure to being pressed by creditors, and having no means to meet her debts, which amount to only £54 15s. 7d., the total number of such creditors being but five. A day was named for the next meeting. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. — This Day. MARLBORO UGH-S TREET. AN INCURABLE LUNATIC CHARGED WITH THREATENING TO MURDER HIS WIFE. - James Norton, a respectable looking man, about 60 years of age, described as a tobacconist, of No. 30, Little Pulteney-street, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant charged with threaten ing to kill his wife, Ann Norton.

He was aware that ho was suffering under an affliction. _ Mr. Tyrwhitt said the ocrnplainant's lifo must not be endangered by a man who had been discharged from a lunatic asylum uncured. Ile would remand tho prisoner for a wook, and in the meantime his condition could be looked into. —.— INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT.- , -Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Lewis, Great Marlborough•street, accompanied by Mr. Frederick Burgess, manager of the Christy's Min strels, acting ou behalf of Messrs.

Hill parted them, and th e pr i soner said, " Now you have him, I sh a ll fi g h t you, " an d leaving a sli g ht mar k b e l ow it, s s t to ru p e p k ed h n im ie o f n ro t m he fi le g f h t t e i y n e g , and then closed in upon him, and threw him down, and while he was down hit him several times. As the police constable was rising, the prisoner kicked him on tho knee. Another police-constable confirmed the statement of Hill, and said the prisoner was exceedingly violent., and it required the united exertions of th ree men to convey him to the station hour The prisoner, in defence, said he was a " labouring boy,"and he got drunk last night for the first time, and had a fight. Mr. Paget—A. very bad beginning this. It i, necessary P y a a g f : e t : n c o h o a n r , g charged to protect these constables from assaults of drunken per sons.

Thomas Gamier, D.C.L., Dean of Winches ter, now in his 91st year, climbed up the famous St. Cathe rine's Hill, one of the highest of the high Downs which sur round Winchester, from which it is distant about a mile. He was entirely unassisted in the ascent, but his butler twice helped hint in the descent. St. Catherine's Hill is the hill which the Winchester boys are by statute bound to ascend so many times a week "for their health," and probably Dom 4i4rnieF oldot liviag Wykohamist. The Fat; of Dr. Livingstone. Sir Roderick Alurchison, in a letter to the limes, says :—" By a letter received yesterday from Dr. Kirk, dated Zanzibar, Feb. 8 (eleven days later than the previous dates), I learn that a despatch reached his Highness the Sultan on the previous day from the Governor of Quiloa, containing an im portant statement with regard to Dr. Livingstone. The despatch stated that traders had arrived at Quiloa from the far interior, beyond lake Nyassa, and that at the end of Nov. last (i.e., two months after the time of the reported catastrophe) when they were at Maksura (within t.:l miles of the sup posed place of the ina.isiere), nothing was known of any mishap having befallen Livingstone. They said, on the contrary, that the traveller had con tinued on ward towards the A visa or Babisa -country, after having met with a hospitable reception ott the western shore of the north end of Lake Nyassa. Dr. Kirk adds, however, that as Maksura is short of the place of attack described by the J,hanna men, I.e almost fears to communicate this intelligence, lest it should buoy up hopes which may too soon be broken. At the same time, as I have all along questioned the veracity of th ese cowar dly runaways, the Johanna men, founding my distrust on the testimony of those who kn ow th em we ll , this latest information from very near the scene of the reported disaster gives me further grounds for the hope that the great traveller may still be alive, a hope which I ex pressed when this painful subject was first brought before the public. At all events, it is now more than ever obvious that the course which I suggested, and which is sane• tioned by the council of the Royal Geographical Society—namely, to have an • expedition sent out to clear up the mystery—is the proper one to pur sue. It is proposed to intrust the command of the search party, with the permission of the Board of Admiralty, to Mr. E. D. Young, who managed the Pioneer, steam-vessel, on the Zambesi for two years under Livingstone, and who has now a post on board her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert. Provided with an iron boat, to be sent out with him, it is hoped that her Ma jesty's Government will instruct the naval autho rities at the Cape to forward Mr. Young and his companions to the Zambesi. Once arrived there, the leader is so well known to the natives that, after selecting a negro crew, his boat will be carried, in pieces, past the cataracts of the Shire, and afterwards launched on that river, thence to navigate the Lake Nyassa to its northern end, near which the disaster is said to have occurred. If the sad story bo true, and Living stone has really been killed, the news will doubtless have spread along the shores of the Lake, or great line of traffi.: of the country. Again, his instru ments, note-books, guns, &c.—the relics of his ex pedition—will have found their way as articles of barter among the natives. In the absence of such signs, and in the event of the exploring party find ing no proofs whatever of his death, why, then, I shall firmly believe that the man who was appointed her Majesty's Consul to all the chiefs in the interior of South Africa is still carrying out his great mis sion. In conclusion, I do not hesitate to say that this search after Livingstone would meet with the hearty approval of the country. It can be carried out at small cost, and accomplished within a few months, thus clearing away the painful suspense which hangs over the fate of the illustrious traveller ; and surely the civilised world will expect that such a tribute of respect, at least, shall be paid to so renowned and disinterested an explorer ? In proof of the intense interest which is taken in the desire to ascertain the fate of my valued friend, I may state that I have received inure than 20 appli cations from competent men to serve as volunteers in the " Livingstone Search Expedition." PARODY ABOUT MR. BERN 41, OSBORNE. The following we take from to-clay's number of Fun and at once give it as one of the finest parodies we ever remember to have read : Sung by Dodge-eio'(Colonel T-3 - 1-r) in th© Burlesque Play of "Thu Reform Rovers." It is a most provoking do ! To think that I was potting 'em— Tho guileless Dillwyn and his crow, When who should twig us but the hu morous M.P. for Nottingham— morons M.P. for Nottingham. [Weeps and pulls out a true blue Baform Bill. Gazing tenderly at it, he proceeds— Sweet Measure! checks of truest blue They soon had found garotting'emi If they had helped to pass yon through, Without detection by the hu morous M.P. for Nottingham — morons M.P. for Nottingham. [At esch repetition of this lino Dodge-ere cracks his whip in cadence.] Bah ! Bah ! As Raroy trotted Crui ser, I was calmly trotting'em, When, hang it ! who should enter—who? But that confounded pest—the he mores M.P. for Nottingham — morons M.P. for Nottingham. The very form, in which they drew My words up, clearly spotting 'em, Ho offered to the House, as scru tineers—he did indeed, the hu morous M.P. for Nottingham — morons M.P. for Nottingham. My eyes!

[During the last stanza Didge-ere perceives that be has run his head against a wall, so hard as to produce a visible confusion. The curtain drops.] THE TIN TRADE.—About the commencement of March this branch of trade, which had so long laboured under considerable depression, began to show signs of re turning activity, and the position of both the home and foreign markets gave countenance to the opinion that prices had seen their lowest point, for at least some time to come. The large and rather unexpected decrease in the sales of Dutch banca materially eontribu'ed to this im proved feeling, and the fact that a good many unprofitable British tin mines had been stopped also influenced the market. An advance in prices was declared by the smelters, and for three or four weeks this advance was fairly maintained. A reaction has now, however, again set in, and the result is a considerable relaps e i n quo t at i ons . Foreign tin meets with a very slow sal e , an d i n E ng li s h means equal to anticipa nisytrue, gone back to the old t t i h o n n s t r . point, but fully one - half of the advance establish e d h as a n Pricessa t i o n haves nnoott yety, h e t y , a t been lost, and prospects are decidedly less encouraging than they were a month ago. Owing to the state of the trade a large number of Cornish miners are still out of employ, and much distress prevails in many of the mining d stricts of Cornwall. THE POET LAUREATE AND THE VOLUNTEERS.— Mr. Alfred Tennyson, having been asked to sub scribe to a testimonial to Colonel Richards as the originator of the volunteer movement of 1859, has forwarded a sub scription, accompanied by a letter, dated Freshwater, Isle of Wight, April 19, in which he says; "I most heartily congratulate you on your having been able to do so mud' for your country, and I hope that you will not cease from your labours until it is the law of the land that every man child in it shall be trained to the use of arms.--I have the honour to be, yours faithfully, A. TENNYSON." TILE BLUE-COAT BOYS.—Yesterday morning, according to long-established custom the scholars of Christ's Hospital proceeded to the Mansion House on a visit to the Lord Mayor, by whom they were regaled with buns and wine, and presented each with a new silver shilling: The long line of quaintly-dressed boys, as the procession moved along the crowded streets of the City, naturally excited much attention. In the afternoon they attended Christ Church, where a sermon was preached by the Rev. J. Russell Stock, the Lord Mayor's c h ap l a i n . SHIP LAUNCIL—An iron screw-steamer, for the West Coast, was launched on Saturday afternoon from the iron shipbuilding-yard of Messrs. Schlesinger, Davies, and Co., at Wallsend.—Newcastle Daily Chronicle. SWEET WlLLlAsl.—Certain Tories are fond of sneering at Mr. Gladstone as " The People's William." Of course it is a question of taste ; but surely ono may be allowed to prefer " The People's William" to Mr. Disraeli's Bill.—Fun. We understand that the Bishop of Iceland, who is suffering from ill health, has arrived in Edinburgh for the purpose of consulting some of the famed physicians of our city.—Edfttburgh courant. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. TUESDAY. THE TWO THOUSAND Fine weather, and the extraordinary interest which the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes has excited, attracted more than the usual number to the Newmarket Heath to-day. The vast racecourse was crowded with pedestrians, car riages, and equestrians, nud during the afternoon the Prince of Wales arrived by special train, and paid a visit to the course mounted on a grey cob. He witnessed the Two Thousand and the other races that followed. The programme for the day's sports comprised seven events, the third of which was the Two Thousand. Julius and Vauban, the night o: fore the race, were heavily backed and finished in the betting as first favourites at the expense of Plaudit. On Tuesday morning, however, Julius became somewhat out of favour, and Plaudit, in spite of the hosti lity evinced towards him on Monday, and a prevailing opinion that be wanted work— or, as it was elegantly ex pressed, that he appeared too fat—revived somewhat from his fallen position, outlays being not infrequent on him during the morning. Challouer was substitute 1 for Grim shaw as Marksman's jockey, but the change did not affect his pric The only other feature in this Derby trial was ar;corded to Owain Glyndwr, whose price on Monday night was 30 to 1, after being in the 100 to 1 division for some time, and on Tuesday the highest offer in the ring against him was 100 to 8. The race itself early decided the fate of Plaudit; ho was beaten before half the mile was run, and the horse that had been so much thrust on the public never even could make the semblance of a struggle to finish with honours in the front. Vauban, the latest favourite, was in the van from the start to the finish, and won, after a fine race with Knight of the Garter and Marksman, by two lengths. He immediately became in strong favour for the Derby, and he was backed to win that race for large sums of money at 4to 1. Trocadero, who had figured a little in the sensational way as a favourite in weeks gone by, sn o t with inconsiderable support, and as much as 25 to 1 was laid against him during the day. The running proved him a better horse than many which started ; but ho is now proved to be a long way off the Two Thousand qua lity. The freak of backing Owain Glyndwr was not ac counted for in - the running, however much it might have been understood in the ring. As an inevitable sequence after the great race was over interest in the remaining. events nearly subsided, and the last being a walk over, the heath was forsaken by half-past 4.

After innumerable breaks away the flag was lowered to an equitable start, in which Indian Star, in company with Magpie, Volunteer, the favourite, Amour Propre, and As sineboine, came on slightly in advance to the rails. Here Batthyany gave way, and shortly after Volunteer headed Magpie and took his place on the right of the leader, the pair being followed on the left by Mr. Lowe's colt and Assineboine, who headed the heavy weight half-way up and then challenged Indian Star, whom they headed after a few strides from the chair, and finished an exciting race home, Amour Propre winning in the last stride by a head. Indian Star finished third, a length in their rear. Horror was fourth, Volunteer fifth, Vixen sixth, Batthyany seventh, and Magpie next. The last two were Monitor and Kate Kearney.

A slight delay at the post preceded the actual start,which was attended by some thousands of eager visitoro, and shortly after they wore seen nearly in a line widely spread. across the course, but before they had proceeded a dozen strides Uncas qu ted his horses, and with Pericles in at tendance, came on with the running, the pair acting as pioneers for their respective favourites, in order to insure a true pace. To these succeeded Marksman by himself on the lower ground, having the favourite, Julius, Trocadero, Star of India, Owain Glyndwr, Plaudit, and the Maid of Masham colt on his whip hand, and on their right were seen the colours of Van Amburgh, the Miss Sarah colt, and Mandrake, Knight of the Garter holding alone to himself on the upper ground, Rtvioli, who appeared to have got off but indifferently, bringing up the rear. They ran thus for a quarter of a mile, when Uncas, having performed his allotted task, disappeared from the front, leaving Pericles in advance, and who led them along at a cracking pace, the effects of which became visible as they neared the T.Y.C. ending post, the leader being the next to succumb, and immediately after Plaudit, whom Snowden had been riding for some distance, was noticed to give way, and shortly before they reached the Bushes Hill, his retirement was announced by the occupants of the Stand, followed in a few strides further by Mandrake, the Miss Sarah colt, and Huntsman. As they came over the brow of the hill Vau ban drew up to Marksman, the pair being closely attended by Julius, Trocadero, Star of India, Van Amburgh, Knight of the Garter, and the Maid of Masham colt nearly in a line, hut as they came down the hill Custance brought Captain Macholl's colt nearer the front, and as they entered the Abingdon Mile Bottom he was upside with Julius, Vauban, and Marksman; the latter, however, was seen to give way to Vauban, who with Knight of the Garter came on with the running, Marksman going on third, with Julius and Trocadero next. Half way up the hill Julius was disposed of, leaving the issue with the three, Vauban, who gradu ally drew away as they came on, stalling off the challenge of Knight of the Garter, and winning very cleverly by two lengths, Marksman finishing a head only from the Knight, close up with whom came Julius fourth, Trocadero fifth, Star of India sixth, Van Amburgh seventh, with the Maid of Masham colt and Plaudit, side by side, next. Then came, at wide intervals, Owain Glyndwr, Ravioli, Hunts man, Pericles, the Miss Sarah colt, and Mandrake last. 'rime as taken by Benson's chronograph : Hour. Min. Sec.

NEW VOLCANO IN THE SOUTH SEAS.—The fol lowing is an extract from a letter from Mr. J. C. Williams, her Britannic Majesty's Consul, Navigator's Islands : —"A volcano has broken out at sea, at Manua, about two miles from the island of Olosega. It was pre ceded by a violent shock of earthquake, which commenced on the sth of •September, and on 12th dense thick smoke rose out of the sea. Lava was thrown up, discolouring the waterier many miles round, and destroying large quanti ties of fish. Wherever the ashes fell on the adjacent island they destroyed all vegetation. Up to the middle of November dense smoke was still being, thrown up, and my informant says that the smoke rose higher than the neigh bouring island, which is over 2,000 feet high. We cannot at present ascertain if there is any bank. thrown up in the water. Last July we steamed over the place - in her Ma-: jesty's ship Brisk, and there were no signs ~-of shoals or anything of the kind." CHILD MURDER NEAR GLASGOW.--A shocking case of child murder occurred on Saturday, at Pollock Ehaws, near Glasgow. The perpetrator was a woman named Margaret Hunter, or Beaton, the wife of a labourer, and the victim her child, an infant two months old. It is said that about 12 months ago Mrs. Beaton exhibited symp toms of mental aberration, which led to her being confined in an asylum. Latterly she has again become very eccen tric in her habits, so much so that for a week past her husband remained at home to keejcwatch over her. On Saturday afternoon the husband ha.ppehed to go out for a few minutes, and the wretched woman, taking advantage of his absence, cut the child's throat from ear to car with a table knife. She made no attempt to injure two other children who were sitting by the fireside, but ran at once to a sister's house and told what she had done. She was there taken into custody and removed to the county prison at Paisley. NEW LIFEBOATS.—The National Lifeboat In stitution has just sent to Exmouth, Devon, a fine new lifeboat, mounted on a transporting carriage. The boat is 32 feet long, 7 feet 4 inches wide, and 3 feet 6 inches deep. It possesses the usual characteristics of the lifeboats of the institution in the way of stability, self-righting, and self ejecting water. Tho new boat replaces a previous one at Exmouth, which was found too small for the station. This was the gift eight years ago of Lady Rollo to the society. The new boat is named the Victoria, after her Majesty, the Queen, in continuation of the name borne on the old boat. The institution has also sent this day a fine now lifeboat and transporting carriage to Blyth, on the Northumberland coast. Tho boat is 3 feet long, 8 feet 6 inches wide, and rows ten oars double banked. It had its harbour trial a few days since in the Regent's Canal Dock, Limehouse, when its s elf-righting and other qualities were fully and sati.factorily tested. The boat is named the "Salford," and is the tenth boat presented to the institution by the city of Manchester, through Robert Whitworth, Esq., and the Rev. E. Hew lett, and is the second boat the Manchester people have sent to the Northumberlan d coast, the first boat being stationed at Berwick-on-Tweed and named the Albert Victor, after tho eldest son of the Prince and Princess of \Vales.
