MONEI MARKET' AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The 'weekly meeting in the Bank parlour has not resulted in an alteration in the rate of discount, and on 'Change business is languid. Consols, with difficulty, support the opening price, and in the Foreign Market there appears to be a general disposition to sell at a trifling re duction on the official quotations. American Securities are the tutu better, and in the Railway Market business, although not very active, is better than yesterday. In English Railway Stock there is a small improvement in the quotations of some of the principal lines, but the demand for Tele graph Shares has been somewhat less active. Banking and Miscellaneous Shares are almost neglected. Consols are now at 921 to 921 for money ; ditto, for Account, —; Three per Cent.

There were no gold operations at the Bank yesterday. The Union, from New York, Las brought £55,630 for London. The Nile, fur the West Indies, has taken £8,350. The list for the Chilian Loan was finally made up on the receipt of the country mails yesterday, and the total applications for the £1,012,000 are found to amount to between 7 and 8 millions. From the extraordinary amount of the applica tions it is still uncertain when the allotment letters for the Russian Loan will be sent out. In August last the President of the Republic of Ecuador issued a decree confiscating the Customs receipts hypothecated to the bondholders, and,' at the harcie time, authorized the employment of certain funds of the Treasury in buying up a portion of the bonds at the depreciated price to ,which it was assumed they would be brought down by this act. A more shameful public document . was never issued, and Ecuador has since that time tit , ea Clatagt.,tl n. 10,1 r o nlOst anerna , . ,l Qt"" Meanwhile the agents of the bondholders have represented the case to the Foreign-office, and the following answer has been received : Foreign-office, Jan. 25. Sir,—With reference to your letter of the 31st of De cember last and to previous correspondence, I am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to acquaint you, for the informa tion of the Ecuadorian Comtnissian of Agency, that his lordship has instructed her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Quito to protest strongly againit the decree of the National Convention of Ecuador of the 17th of August, 1869, under the authority of which the payment of the interest on the bonds is proposed to be stopped, and to express the hope of her Majesty's Government that the President of the Republic will take the necessary steps to have the decree lo question reconsidered. I am, sir, your most obedient, humble servant, J. HAMMOND. John Field, Esq., Founder's-court, Lothbury.

The restoration of this beautiful relic of the archi tecture of the 14th century is now completed, and the sternest economist who visits the Houses of Parliament will hardly grudge the expenditure on a spot so suggestive in name and so rich in tradi tion. The chapel itself was burnt, and no attempt was made to revive its ancient glories. But the Crypt remained, and its restoration, when works of mare obvious necessity had been finished, proceeded gradually, until now it is one of the richest, thoagh :ntrmior. The progress of the work has been before de scribed. Among the most recent additions is the erection of an elaborate wrought-iron screen, separating the western bay from the rest of the chapel, and forming it, in fact, into an ante chapel. The screen, which is about five feet high, with central gates, is finely executed by Messrs. Hardman, of Birmingham, and the design recalls that of the grille over Queen Eleanor's tomb in Westminster Abbey. A pair of delicately-worked iron gates of corresponding design have also been placed in the archway leading to the Baptistry, and as the whole of the ironwork has been gilt a very rich effect is produced. The Baptistry is a little gem of art, in its way quite unique. In plan it is octagonal, enclosing an area only 11 feet across and 20 feet high ; but within this nut shell structure there is choice work and material, which few visitors will like to pass without close scrutiny. The roof is groined and decorated with scroll-work on a gold ground, the groin ribs springing from shafts of polished Purbeck marble. To a height of six feet the walls are lined with polished alabaster and marble, inlaid with ornamen tal devices, and surrounded by a projecting cornice of alabaster boldly carved with conventional foli age. The paving is of Minton's tiles intermixed with marble. A window of two lights, with tracery of a geometrical design, occupies the east side of the octagon ; and a gilt candelabrum of wrought-iron will supply the needful artificial light. Above the cornice the walls are beautifully painted in compartments by Messrs. Clayton and Bell, that opposite the door representing a full length portrait of our Saviour, and the west com partment a full-length painting of St. John the Baptist. On the other walls are angels pictured in the attitude of adoration and swinging censers, while above and below the angels the remaining portions of the wall are covered with scrollwork in gold and colours. On each side of the window recess is a series of medallions, bearing the heads of Saints—St. Peter, the patron Saint of West minster ; St. Stephen, who gives his name to the chapel, and the four Evangelists. In the centre of the Baptistry stands, of course, the font, which is cut from a large block of alabaster, and rests on a group of eight polished marble shafts with carved foliated capitals. The Baptistry itself is entered from the western bay of the Crypt or ante-chapel, andis shut off from it by an archway fitted with the fine gates before described. At the entrance is a marble slab, let into the floor, with an incised de sign, representing the entrance of Noah into the Ark, which the church holds up to us as a type of baptism ; and in the thickness of the walls of the entrance archways there are full-length figures of Moses and St. John the Baptist, representing the Mosaic and Christian dispensations. It is not often that the " dim religious light" which penetrates here—very dim on most days— allows you to see all the beauties of the Crypt or the Baptistry. A bright summer day is wanted for a satisfactory examination of either. But you see enough to be satisfied that here is a miniature chapel of exquisite beauty, the restoration of which must have been a labour of love to all engaged which ofi t the formed " a in it, an d w hi c h i s now wort h y o f th e historic me mories con nec t e d w i t h it. St. St e phen's Chapel, of part, was one of the finest speci mensD seemsecora "Decorated" a architecture d o f i t n h e manyllth century, and respects the still earlier structure of La Sainte Chapelle, in Paris. Its glories will now be handed down by the Crypt, which has been so carefully restored, or rather rebuilt, under the direction of Mr. E. M. Barry, R.A., the architect to the New Palace at Westminster. But one thing remains. The chapel, for such it now is, is there ; but where is the congregation ? Altar, pulpit, font, and seats —all are ready fur use ; the crypt is well warmed, and might be well lighted; and no visitor can help regretting that a structure so beautiful and so fit for devotion should not have its last and most natural complement of regular service and worship in con nexion with the great building of which it forms a part. During the session the officers of the two houses might easily supply a congregation ; and has not Mr. Speaker a chaplain ? THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 3, 1870.

GENII:AL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) THE WANDSWORTH ROMANCE. William Skeplehorne and his wife, Sarah Skeple borne, were indicted for having, with intent to in jure and aggrieve Thomas John Irouside, conspired with Louisa Maud, his wife, to falsely represent that Mrs. lronside was delivered of a female child, and to pass off the child of one Fanny Wood as the child of the prosecutor, by his wife. They were also charged with causi,ig the prosecutor to cherish and maintain the said child as his own. There was another count charging them with conspiring with intent to deceive, injure, and defraud Mr. Irouside; and further counts charged conspiracy with intent to defraud and cheat the next of kin of Mr. Irouside, and to burden the parish of Wandsworth with a liability to support the child. Another count charged them with conspiring to make a false entry relative to the parentage of the child. POLICE INIELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BANKER'S CLERK CHARGED WITH ROBBERY. —Samuel Bro,_ks, a clerk in the employ of Messrs. Hopkinson and Co., brokers, of No. 3, Regent street, was brought before Mr. Knox, by Sergeants Langley and Summerway, of the Detective Depart ment, Scotland-yard, charged with stealing some £5 Bank of England notes, the property of his employers. Mr. Hodgkinson said that on the 11th of No vember last he sent a letter by post to Miss E. J. Brackenborough, a customer, residing at Malvern cottage, Kirby Lowestoffe—the letter containing six £5 Bank notes. On the 13th he received a letter from Miss Brackenborough stating that she had not received them. He communicated with the . Post-office, and stopped the notes, and left the matter in the hands of the Post-office authorities, but on the 20th December another note for £5 having been stolen from a letter containing ten sent to Miss Pennethorne, of Hampstead, Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, he found no reason to think that the enve lope in which they had been placed had been tam pered with at the Post-office, and suspecting that the robbery must have been committed by some one in their establishment communicated with the police at Scotland-yard, and found that some of the notes had been passed bearing an endorsement in the name of Rogers, and the police finding the prisoner was connected with a female of that name took him into custody. He had a third charge to prefer against the prisoner—that of abstracting a letter containing coupons sent to the firm. Sergeant Suunerway said that the prisoner, on being spoken to respecting the notes, said he could not explain the circumstance of their being miss ng, and on his being told to leave the bank he eft the room and then returned, and said that he had intercepted the letters and taken out the notes, and said that he had throws four of them down the water closet. He (Sunnerway) had pre viously followed a woman, who was joined by 0:3 prisoner, and found her nam3 to be Rogers, and that she had passed one of the notes at the White Hart public-house, Kennington-cross. Sergeant Langley said ho had ascertained the prisoner Letd been cohabiting with a female named Rogers, and he had seen the prisoner and another on the 19th ult., after being put into an omnibus by the prisoner, get out near Kennington-cross, where one of the notes was changed. He heard the prisoner admit his guilt, and that he had thrown the notes down the closet, and that a note containing the coupons was at his lodgings, and on going there he found them. The prisoner was remanded. THAMES. NOVEL PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE BUILDING ACT. --Among a mass of summonses taken out by Mr. Good, District Surveyor of Bow and Poplar, for the recovery fees and penalties under the Building Act, was one against Mr. Adin Sheffield, a respect able builder, of No. 98, East India Dock-road, for erecting a projecting window on a house in Lime house-dockyard, Emmet-street, Poplar. The ob ject of the District Surveyor was to obtain the re moval of the projecting window, which it was stated was constructed of wood on the topmost floor of the house, on the east side thereof, contrary to the Ist rule of the 26th section of the Metropoli tan Building Act, 1855. Mr. Sheffield admitted the construction of the projecting window, in an office in Limehouse-dock, for the convenience of the principal of the esta blishment, who could command a view of the dock and his men from the window. The house or offices were inside the yard at least 15 feet from the public highway. It was no obstruction or inconvenience to any one, and was erected three months ago. His bill was settled 13S* the proprietor of Limehouse Dock before he received the District Surveyor's notice ; he was no longer the builder, or cencerned in any of the alterations and improve ments going on in Limehouse Dock. The window in question was an ornament, not an obstruction, did not impede the circulation of light and air, and the proceedings were arbitrary and oppressive on the part of Mr. Good, who, he would assert with out fear of contradiction, took out as many sum monses in one year as all the other surveyors in the Thames Police Court obtained in ten years. The window could not be removed without disfiguring the building. Mr. Good justified himself, and said for the pro tection and convenience of the public he had taken out a great many summonses under the Building Act, and asked for an order for the removal of the projecting window. Mr. Lushington said the window in question was attached to an office inside a shipbuilding yard, and had been suffered to exist more than three months before any notice was taken of it by the district surAyor. He saw no occasion to make an order, and dismissed the summons. The 33d (Duke of Wellington's) Regiment, now stationed at Portsmouth, is under orders to proceed to Aldershot on the 7th inst., and on arrival will be quartered in L, P, and Q lines, South Camp, recently vacated by the Ist Battalion 12th Foot. The remainder of the military time-expired men and invalids disembarked at Portsmouth Dockyard yesterday morning from the Indian troopship Serapis, Capt. J. C. Soady. The former were sent by train to the depots of their respective regiments, and the latter to the Royal Victoria Hospital, Netley. The Serapis has commenced coaling, and is appointed to leave Portsmouth on the 15th int., with draughts of various regiments, calling at Queenstown to embark the 66th Regiment to relieve the 83d Regiment. On the completion of this voyage it is understood that the Serapis will be paid off and recommissioned. The paddlewheel steam frigate Terrible, 19, Capt. John A. P. Price, from the West Indies, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. She left Jamaica December 14, arrived at Bermuda on the 25th, sailed January 7, and brings from Jamaica the crew of the gunboat Heron, and from Bermuda the officers and crew of the iron turret ship Scorpion, 4, Captain G. A. C. Brooker, 40 supernumeraries from the floating battery Terror, 16, Capt. George Le G. Bowyear, C. 8., in all . 231 officers, seamen, marines, and time-expired men. The Terrible experienced a very stormy passage, mostly south west gales ; she would have gone to Queenstown but for the very thick weather which prevailed ; and it was expected she would proceed from Ply mouth to Portsmouth. The armour-plated ship Royal Alfred, 18, Capt. Henry S. Hillyar, C. 8., sailed from Bermuda about the 9th of December for the West Indies. Tile Terrible left at Bermuda her Majesty's ships Terror, Danae, Vestal, Scorpion, Albacore, 'Penedos, Viper, and Vixen. [ADVERTISEMENT. —Holloway's Pills.—Dyspepsia, hi digestion, flatulency, he , rtburn, biliousness, nausea, want of appetite. French philosophc - s trace the moral feelings of the mind to the state of the stomach ; tho stomach to the human body is more than the kitchen to the domestic establishment —be it ever so slightly dissrdered, the whole internal economy is deranged. The young may smile at the simile, and disbelieve the tremendous sacrifice indiges tion exacts from its victim. The day will come when they will lament over their dyspepsia, as thousands stronger than themselves have done, when it will be well for their comfort and happiness if they only remember these pro phetic words, and hold in readiness Holloway's Pills—a certain safeguard.
