MONEY' MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWRLYE O'CLOCK. At the Bank of England on Saturday there were Ito gold operations of importance. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have advanced 1, to 30 32 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds remain steady at 23i 24. At a meeting held to-day of the Ottoman Gas Company, the report of the committee of investiga tion was presented, which stated that the company bad not been well managed, and it also contained many vague charges without showing any proof whatever for such statements. The whole report Was fairly and candidly explaind by the Chairman, apparently to the general satisfaction of the share holders present. From the manufacturing districts the accounts re ceived this morning state that during the past week business generally hls remained very inactive. At Manchester to effect sales of cloths or yarns lower rates had to be accepted by holders. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been little change of importance. In the hard ware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol verhampton dullness has been apparent in most departments. Twe o'CLocx. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Renter opened at 70f. 05c. Heavy. At the Stock Exchange there is a tendency to improvement, owing to the strong hand with which the Government is dealing with Fenianism, and the prospect of a more favourable condition of affairs in Parliament. The recent events have exercised an adverse influence upon values, through the operations of speculators, but bona fide dealers have not been alarmed ; yet marketable action, as usual, has produced an effect, and created depression. row, however, there are symptoms of buoyancy. Consols are 908 for money and 90; 91 for the ac count, being an advance off since Saturday evening. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 88 8 9 ; Exchequer Bills, Bs. to 13s. prem. for March, and 13s. prem, for June ; India s . per Cents.,loBB I ; ditto Enfaced 5 per Cents., 1028 ; and ditto Debentures, 1038.

In American Securities Erie shares have advanced 2 , to 388 29 ; Illinois are firm at 77} 78; but United States 5-20 Bonds have declined to 738 74. In the Railway Share Market a firmer tone has prevailed. Great Northern A Stock and Great * Western have each advanced 8 ; Metropolitan and South-Eastern each ; and Midland, 1. The Foreign and Colonial lines show little change of importance. Bank Shares remain very quiet, and generally at Previous rates. British North American are marked 48 1 ; London Joint Stock, 421 424 ; Westminster, 93 i ; and Oriental Bank, 42k. The Market to-day bas been very quiet, and with the exception of a rise in Great Vor, Tincroft, and Cook's Kitchen, prices remain about the same as on Saturday.

Account Pastoral Letter by Archbishop Manning. SAINT PATRICK'S DAY. enry Edward, by the Grace of God and the favour of the Apostolic See, Archbishop of Westminster, to the Faithful of the said Diocese. Dear Children in Jesus Christ,—The feast of St. Patrick last year was one to be remembered with thankfulness. You kept it in the way your great patron and apostle loves best—in peace and sobriety. The true devotion to the saints consists in imitating their examples. The holiness and mortifications of the apostle of Ireland ought to be the pattern of all his spiritual children. It was, therefore, a great con solation and joy to me to know, last year, that hardly any of my flock was found to dishonour the festival of St. Patrick by the sins which he hates. The truce of God to which you pledge yourselves last year was kept so faithfully that I desire to ex tend it this year all over London ; and I earnestly beseech you, for the glory of God, and for the honour of St. Patrick, to take the same pledge again. If any disorder shall bring shame upon this coming festival, the memory of last year will be tarnished. It will be a double humiliation ; because the order and sobriety of last year shows what we can do, by the grace of God, if we have the will. This year you will be in greater temptation. Last year St. Patrick's day fell upon a work-day. This year it falls upon a Sunday. Labour and work last year helped to save many from drinking. The wages of Saturday, and the rest of Sunday will this year bring great temptations and great dangers. Be you therefore doubly on your guard ; and stand firm. I call upon you:one and all to pledge yourselves to the truce of God. Let those who, from the past, know their own weakness take it that they may be strong. Let those who are strong take it to en courage the weak, and lest they should trust in themselves. Let both husbands and wives, brothers and sisters take it together ; both those that need and those who may not need ;' that in the Apostle's words, they may bear one another's burdens. If we are all united together as an army in array, Satan will find no entrance to scatter us. To all who take and keep this pledge I give an indulgence of 40 days. And now for the future. Last yoxr has shown us what we can - do. What we have done once we may do always. The Archbishop of Cashel writes to me that, for six years, his numerous flock in the dioceses of Cashel and Emley have pledged themselves not to ;et foot in a publichouse on Sun days. What they have pledged they have kept. The archbishop says their fidelity to the temperance law, by the grace of God, is wonderful. The Bishop of Ferns writes to me that for ten years his flock have taken the same pledge, and kept it with great exactness. He was the first to begin it ; and the cause of its beginning, as he tells me, was this : —On a Sunday, during the time of the Holy Mass, a young man, reek ing with blood in a drunken fray, was carried past him. He resolved, by the help and power of God, to put an end to the horrible sin of drinking. H e instituted the same pledge in his diocese, and a novena, or nine days' prayer, every year, before the feast of All Saints, for the suppression of drunken ❑ess. It is my desire and prayer to walk in the foot steps of these great pastors in Ireland ; and to see my flock in London like the Catholics of Cashel, Emley, and Ferns. For . this. end I beseech you, for the glory of God and the honour of St. Patrick, to take the following pledge for a twelvemonth. The Feast of St. Patrick this year falls upon a Sunday. Let every Sunday, then, be in sobriety like this Feast of St. Patrick. I hereby give the same indulgence of 40 days, to be gained every week by those who take and keep the pledge here given—" I promise not to enter a publichouse on Saturday night, or ou Sunday." Those who do not take the truce at this festival may take the above pledge hereafter from their pastors. Finally, dear children in Jesus Christ, it is not in your own strength that you can overcome temp- tation ; but the grace of the Holy Spirit will be with you, if you ask it in prayer, and use it when given. Ask it through the prayers of the Immaculate Mother of God and the glorious Saint whose children you are. Your pastors, who so fathfully and lovingly watch over you, will ask all grace for you in the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar ; and my prayers are never wanting, nor ever shall be, that God may be glorified in this and all things by the flock which he has committed to my charge. Given at, Westminster, and appointed to be read in all the churches and chapels of the diocese on the first Sunday of Lent, 1867. HENRY EDWARD, Archbishop of Westminster. March 10, 1867. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, March it A. rumour is current, although in no way authen ticated at present, that Baron von Beust, in order to improve the financial position of the Empire, will mortgage the ecclesiastical property, and an arrangement to that effect is said to have been made with the clerical party. The Emperor leaves to-morrow for Pesth. It is stated that Pesth, as well as Vienna, is to be fortified. The Ministers von Wiillerstorf and Komersvon Lindenback intend to send in their resignation. 20 st st 100 THE LONDON CABS.—Mr. Stanford, of Charing cross, has just issued to the public the map and diagram of the . " course" system of the London cabs, as pro Posed by Mr. Haddon, of the Hackney carriage department of the Metropolitan police. The chief idea is to divide a four mile radius into districts of a single mile, and affix to each lamp-post a distinguishing letter; for instance, a passenger when hiring a cab world have nothing to do but to look for the initial letter or figure (say 0), repeating the opera tion when discharging the vehicle (say K), referring to the table for the fare K to 0, which ho would find to be 2s. 3d. This, of course, would be the charge supposing the new arrangement of fares proposed be also adopted. Whether the proposed increase by about 30 per cent. on the present cab fares would bo acceptable is a question which admits of much argument, but the sooner something is done to improve the present system of cab hiring in the metro polis the better. The proposal of Mr. Haddon is quite practical, and, with the aid of Mr. Stanford's admirable diagrams, easily understandable. THE INVENTOR OF THE STEAM ENGINE.—A splendid medallion, six inches in relief, and mea suring 22 inches in diameter of Edward Somerset, second Marquis of Worcester, author of the " Century of Inven tions," and inventor of the steam engine, has just been produced by Mr. D. Brucciani, of Great Russell-street, Covent Garden. The model was furnished by Mr. James Loft, the likeness being derived from paintings by Van dyke and G. Hannemann, in the possession of the Duke of Beaufort. The work has been produced in the highest style of art, and forms a most appropriate decoration for mechanic and literary institutes, rail way offices, engineering offices, and the halls and libraries of scientific gentlemen. To those who may pay Mr. Brucciani's establishment a visit, and who are unacquainted with the existence of the " Galleria Delli Belle Arti" in Russell-street, a great enjoyment is in store. The spacious gallery is crowded with reproductions of the most celebrated specimens of the sculptor's art, which are arranged with the most artistic effect. Here the admirer of classic beauty will have the opportunity of viewing the triumphs of Canova, Thorwaldsen, Power, Gibson, and others as illustrious, side by side, and a thousand other interesting specimens, which cannot but prove a source of the highest pleasure to every person of taste and refine ment. The gallery is open free to the public, even the formality of a ticket not being required. Sir Roger C. Tichborne, Bart., has taken a residence at Croydon, in surrey.

MARK-LANE. The leading country markets held on Saturday wero scantily supplied with wheat. Although the trado was inactive, previous rates were rather exceeded for fine samples. Barley and oats were quite is per qr. lower, and all other kinds of pro luce were much neglected. The transactions in grain on the Continent continue on a moderate scale. Prices, however, are supported. The exports from America are still very limited. The imports of foreign and colonial produce into London last week amounted to 3,285 qrs. of wheat, 4,623 barley, 52,121 oats, 1,351 taros, 5,160 rapeseed, 30 sundries, and 1,791 sacks of flour. The supply of English wheat on sale at Mark-lane t day was small, but there was a decided improvement in the general condition of the samples. Owing to the small importation last week and the rise in prices in several of the country markets hell on Saturday the trade was firm, •and an advance of is per quarter was established in the quotations as compared with Monday last. There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands. The demand for most descriptions ruled steady, and, in some instances, a slight improvement took place in prices. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, at full quotations. The supply of English barley on sale was rather limited, but the market was tolerably well supplied with foreign produce. The trade was dull for all qualities, and prices declined to the extent of ls. per quarter from Mon day last. Malt sold heavily, at about late rates. Oats were in heavy supply, and the trade was dull, at a decline in prices of 6d. and ls. per quarter. The market was moderately supplied with beans. The trade was very quiet, and last Monday's prices were barely supported. Peas met a slow sale, on rather easier terms. The show of samples was very moderate. About an average business was transacted in flour, at last Monday's curency. Clover seed was in but moderate request, at late rates. Other agricultural seeds were very quiet. For linseed the market was quiet, on former terms. Sound Calcutta rapeseed continues scarce. . Cakes changed hands to a moderate extent, at the pre sent decline in the quotations.

There was a large supply of foreign beasts on offer in to-day's market, whilst the show of foreign sheep was good. The number of foreign calves on show was limited. Generally speaking, the demand was very inactive at barely stationary prices. The arrival of beasts from our own grazing districts was moderately extensive and in good condition. From Scot land the receipts were rather limited, but in prime order. No stock came fresh to hand from Ireland. All breeds met a dull inquiry, and last week's prices wore barely sup ported.

The races at Liverpool gained nothing by the addi tion of the Grand Military Races, for, although the Messrs. Topham's programme furnished some interesting racing, the military events contained therein were simply a failure. The success of the young Duke of Hamilton—which was enthusiastically received—with Cortolvin in the Grand National Steeplechase, the remarkably easy victory of Fore sight over his ten Cup competitors in the Spring Cup, and the heavy wagering—one large bet of £lO,OOO to £5,000 on-Plaudit against Hermit for the Two Thousand Guineas by Mr. Jackson to Capt. Machell ending in a forfeit, as most of those "flash" bets do, were the noteworthy fea tures of Liverpool Meeting, which wound up with the military races on Friday. Two mishaps unfortunately oc curred, one to Nuttall, who was upset on Rejoinder f(fr the Spring Cup, and Mr. C. Firmin, well known as a gentleman rider in steeplechases, had a terrific " purler" the same day in the Handicap Steeplechase on Rossington ; but luckily both accidents are not so serious as was first anticipated. There are a prolific quantity of meetings for the present week, viz., Chelmsford Spring, Chertsey, Melton, and Croydon Steeplechases, bessides some sport of the latter class at Bangor, Brackley, Shipton-on-Stour, &c., at which last three places the events are not of sufficient' importance to be discussed in your columns. Chelms ford will, doubtless, be Sell attended should . the weather meanwhile become more favourable, as amongst the stewards are Admiral Rous, Messrs. Payne and Chaplin, whilst Mr. J. F. Clark, and Mr. M‘George are respecctively judge and starter, a convincing proof that all these departments, so essential to the wellbeing of any meeting, are sure to be carried out successfully. The Two-yr-old Plate will probably be won by DERRY, who showed fair form in the Two-yr-old Stakes, at Harrow. I fancy CHANTILLY for the Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each. Of the 24 acceptances for the Chelmer Handi cap, the principal event of the meeting, Vandervelde, Musi cian, Clatford, Court Card, Leases, and Numa Pompilius appear to have the most favourable chance. Vander velde's penalty will, I think, just stop his winning. Some day Musician is bound to do his owner a turn, but Joseph Dawson, in Numa Pompilius, has another to fall back upon, and whichever he places his affection upon on the day will most likely be good enough to win, although Court Card' should not be overlooked in this com pany, and Leases might improve on his Lincoln form. For the Sweekstakes of 10 says for two-yr-olds, my recommendation is Buss; and as regards Wednesday's events, whichever represents Joseph. Dawson, MUSICIAN or NuMA Pogrimus, ought certainly to win the Essex Stakes, the penalty for winning the Chelmer Handicap being only 51b. The National Grand Open Steeplechase at Melton looks a goad thing for TALLY-HO, although he carries a 71b penalty for winning the Grand Military Cup at Liverpool. A FRESH MAN.

Ma CHARLES DICKENS will preside at the an niversary dinner of the Railway Benevolent Institution, for the relief of all grades of railway servants in necessitous circumstances, through infirmity of accident, their widows and orphans, which will take place this year on Wednes day, Juno 5. TRH ENGINE-DRIVERS ON SOME OF THE LARGEST LINES OF RAILWAY are said to be about to strike. They say they are overworked and under-paid, want their day reduced to ten hours, and their wages raised 25 per cent. The traffic managers reply that the demand amounts for the day of fifteen hours to double wages, and are prepared it would seem, to stand out. We trust that a compro mise will be made. A strike which shut the railways would disorganise English society almost as much as a rebellion, and the drivers cannot win the game while the Continent is open and so many men outside their guild understand engine-driving, but they may cause a great many accidents. On the other hand, though the present wages are tolerably fair, the managers might give way as to the hours. Fifteen hours is at least three hours too many.- Spectator.

POLICE INTELLIGEME.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A FATHER CHARGING HIS SONS WITH ROBBING mu.—. Frederick Genziner, a boy abut 11 years old, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing two sovereigns frombis father, Henry Genzmer, a tailor, living at 5, Sherwood.. place, Golden-square. The prosecutor said—The prisoner is my son. I yes terday gave him the key of my room and told hiss le go home and light the fire.• On my subsequently going home the prisoner had left the place and taken two sovereigns with him, and when I found him he had only 10s. left. • I missed the money out of a cupboard where I had hidden it. Prisoner—You don't give me any food. Mr. Tyrwhitt - Have you not charged him bcfore ? Prosecutor—Yes; and I charged another son also with robbing me. Barns, the gaoler—The prisoner's brother, who is two y,!ars,obler, is at Redhill Reformatory. Tho Prisouer—My father brought a dagger, and tried to cut my throat. A girl living in the same house said—The prisoner went out, and gave me the key of his father's room to give to his father. Police constable 124 C —The prisoner was brought to be station, and in answer to the charge said he only took one sovereign. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Who brought him to the station ? Constable—His father. Prisoner—My father threatened to stab my mother with a dagger, and she went away and left him, and he wants to get rid of us, and to go to America. The prosecutor was charged at this Court a few days ago with assaulting his wife, but she declined to press the charge. Mr. Tyrwhitt—What the prisoner said at the station was evidently under pressure, being afraid of his father. I doubt very much whether the money was taken at all. That the father wishes to get rid of his boys I have every reason to believe. I will remand the boy for a week, bat Ido so unwillingly, for, if any one will be bail for him in the sum of 405., I will take bail.

Mr. Page said he was landlord of the Coach and Horses, High-street, Shadwell. He had frequently seen the pri soner in front of the bar. He saw him there a few daya ago. He then noticed a shilling and two sixpences in the till, besides halfpence. He saw the prisoner served by the barman, and directly afterwards found one sixpence gone. Ho asked tho prisoner what he had given to the barman, to which he replied a shilling. Henry Wear, barman to' the last witness, said he was formerly potman. He was in Mr. Page's service six months. He saw the prisoner after he was promoted -to the bar about two months ago. The prisoner said, "I can tell you bow to make a shilling or two. If I put down a halfpenny or a farthing, you run and give me change for a shilling. I used to do it with the other barman who was there before you." On Saturday week the prisoner came to the bar of the Coach and Horses, called for a pint of half and half, put down a halfpenny, and received 10d. change. The prisoner afterwards gave him his share of the plunder. _ Mr. Paget—How much ? Witness —Fivepence, sir. He came to me one evening. it was understood that the prisoner Ayres would be com mitted for trial, but after the depositions were taken and signed, Mr. Paget, after a long pause, said it was a principle of law that no man should be convicted on the unsupported evidence of another, because his own conduct was so in famous that he would not mind telling falsehoods. He believed the barman's story was a tissue of lies, and had trumped up• a statement after robbing his master to shield himself. He cautioned the witness before he was exa mined he had no occasion to criminate himself, but he had done so with his eyes open. The prisoner was discharged. WESTMINSTER. AN INCORRIGIBLE VIRAGO.—Mary Smith, a woman nearly GO years of age, was brought up on a warrant, charged with assaulting her husband, who is some years her senior. Complainant, who is a gate-keeper on the Grosvenor estate, said that defendant camo out of prison on Satur day morning, whither she had been repeatedly committed for assaulting him, and as usual visited him at his em ployment. He gave her the keys of his rooms, and told her to go home. When ho went there she commenced a violent attack upon him, beat him, and destroyed his clothes. When the officer came to apprehend her at night she again attacked him. Seeley, the warrant officer, said that when he told de fendant he had a warrant against her, she flew at her hus band, seized him by the hair of his head and whiskers, and dragged him from one end of the room to the other. With some trouble witness rescued him, but just as he was leav ing the room, she broke from his hold and again attacked him, tearing the coat off his back. Mr. Belie (to defendant)—You ure possessed of the evil spirit. Defendant—No, 1 'aint. Mr. Selfe--Moro or less I think you are. You are the curse of this poor man's life for weeks, months, and years. You have rendered his existence intolerable. You get drunk, you pawn everything. Defendant—Sometimes he pawns himself. Mr. Selfe—l wish he would pawn you, for I am tired of seeing you. Defendant —lt ain't my fault. Mr. Solfo—Who's is it? Defendant—There's fault on both sides. Mr. Selfo—lt is the same thing month after mouth. You pawn, drink, and make the poor man's life perfectly miserable, and endanger his means of living by besetting him at his employment. Defendant—lle says I would hang at Newgate for him, but I don't think I did; I had had a little to drink. Mr. Selfe—Your husband is cursed with a vicious bad wife. I don't know what to do with you ; you are too old to send to a reformatory. (Much laughter.) I will en deavour to protect your husband. You must find good bail for six months. Committed in default. Awful Fire and Great Loss of Life. One of the most calamitous fires that has occurred at the West-eud for some years past happened this (Monday) morning at au early hour in one of the large houses, No. Ba, Bryanstone-street, Edgeware-road. The building in question was let out in tenements, and at the time of the outbreak contained five families. The discovery was made by a police-constable, who in passing noticed a dense body of black smoke, which convinced him that the premises were on fire. He therefore gave immediate alarm, and sent off for proper assistance, the first person called being Conductor Ai'Gill, who arrived within Socialt. from the Connaught-street station w ith the Royal y s fire-escape. Upon turning into the street, he saw that the greater part of the house was on fire, and he noticed a female with a child in her a rms at the second floor win dow. As ho was wheeling his machine to the front of the house he saw t. ho child fall back and the woman jump out of the window. He placed the machine against the windows in Quebec -street , but they only were used for lighting th e staircase; an d he then place d the esca p e on a level of the third floor in Bryans t on e-street, and rescued an elderly gentleman and his wife who were clinging to the window sill. II afterwards returned and rescued a man from the fascia of the shop. Hearing that ether persons were still in the building he attempted to enter to save them, but the flames were coming out of every window except one of the parlours. He got his ladder, placed it across the iron railings, and entered the room, but found no ono therein. By that time several of Shand, Mason, and Co.'s land steamers had arrived, and plenty of the Grand Junction Company's"water having been procured, the firemen went to work in a most intrepid manner, but the flames could not be extinguished until the whole building was destroyed. Unfortunately four human beings were afterwards found burnt to death in the ruins; and there were two others missing, who have no doubt also perished. The unfortunate woman has been removed to St. Mary's Hospital, where she remains in a very precarious state. The lower part of the premises were occupied by Mr. Mundin, a boot and shoemaker, who has lost his all, except his books and vouchers, and they w ere save d it: one of the patent Reliance fire-proof safes. The origin of the melancholy occurrence is enveloped in obscurity at present.

THE SUNDAY EVENINGS FOR THE PEOPLE. —In consequence of the late proceedings at Bow-street Police-court, and of an erroneous impression which had gone abroad that these services would be discontinued until the sottlement of the pending legal question, the number of applicants for admission last evening was much smaller than usual ; but notwithstanding this the hall was crowded in every part. The musical selection was of the usual character. Tha discourse, which was "On Sun days and Holidays," was delivered by Mr. Frederick Harrison, M.A. DEATH OF THE DEAN OF HEREFORD.—The Very Rev.
