MONEY - MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The attendance on 'Change to-day being limited business was not very brisk, but in the few trans actions that took place prices showed a firmness that gave strong evidence that the improvement that has been noted during the last few days is of a solid description. The favourable reports from Paris, coupled with various other circumstances, cannot but exercise the most beue6cial results, and it is to be hoped the turning point leading to in creased business has been reached. Foreign securi ties have in most instances improved, Railway shams are on the rise ; and in Telegraph shares, although the business done has been trifling, yes terday's prices have been maintained. The rate of discount in the open to-day was about 2t. Conwls are now at 921 to 921 for money; ditto, for Account, —; Three per Cent.

In Miscellaneous Securities, Hudson's Bay is quoted 12 to 121 ex div. ; General Credit, 1 to dis. ; International Finance, 1a tol dis. ; and National Discount, 111 to 12. In Bank Shares London and Westminsters have improved the price being now 59 to 60 ; Londcn and County is 49 to 50 ; London Joint Stock,lS2 to 33 ; Union of London, 37k. to 381 ; Imperial Ottoman, 2i to 21 prem. ex div. ; Consolidated, 41 to 41 ; Chartered Mercantile, 31 to 32 ex div. ; and Anglo-Australian, 14 to 16 prem. Messrs. Robertson and Co., shipbuilders of Greenock, have stopped payment with unsecured liabilities amounting to about £13,000. The directors of the London Joint-Stock Bank have resolved to declare' a dividend and bonus to gether at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 31st December last. At an extraordinary meeting of the China Sub marine Telegraph Company (Limited) the direc tors were authorised to increase the capital of the undertaking by the further issue of £300,000, for the completion of the line from Hong Kong to Shanghai. A petition for the winding up of the Patent Waterproof Paper Company (Limited) is to be heard before Vice-Chancellor Malins on the 14th instant. There were no gold oFerations at the Bank yesterday. The Tanjore, from Alexandria, has brought £428,500, which, in the present state of the ex changes, is expected to be taken for France. On the Bth ult. the Chontales (Nicaragua) Gold Company received a telegram evidently erroneous or fraudulent, purporting to come from their agents at Colon, via Norfolk, Virginia, to the effect that their manager had " got an enormous quantity of nuggets of gold—total weight nearly 100 tons secured." The convention for the Treaty of Commerce between England and Austria was finally con cluded and signed by Lord Bloomfield and Baron Beust at the close of the year. The modifica tions suggested by the Reichsrath have been adopted, and the Treaty is now law in Hungary as well as Austria. It is understood, says the Neite Freie Presse, " in interested circles, that the successful management of the Anglo-Austrian Bank during 180 will in sure a dividend of 50 &Nits in silver to the pro prietors. This is, without doubt, very handsome, but still it scarcely explains the extraordinary rise in the price of the shares of the bank, which in all Probability may be attributed to the Turkish rail- Way scheme shortly to be brought out." The directors of the Union Bank of Australia have resolved upon a dividend of £1 17s. 16d. per share, being 7- per cent. for the half-year, the ' l ame as at the corresponding period of 1869. ho colonial produce markets this week, since the resumption of general business on Tuesday, have been steady and rather quiet. Few public sales have been held ; but next week increased Supplies will be offered. Meanwhilejprices remain nearly the same as before the Christmas holidays.

Before returning to England he will mike a journey to the East, and will include China, Japan, and Siam in his tour. The North British Daily Mail says that the Glas pw thieves hava reaped an abundant harvest since the be ginning of the year. No fewer than 135 watches have beon reported at the police offices as having changed owners in the short periodlhat has elapsed. The term of office of Sir Philip Wodehouse, Governor of the Cape Colony, has, it is said, been extended f ,r another year, to enable him to carry out his policy with r :fercnce to the annexation of Basuto Land to the dominions of the Crown.

Only one petition in bankruptcy has been presented since the new Act came into operation on the Ist of this month. The debtor is a jeweller, named Laurence, of Gimberwell, and the petitioning creditor is of the same name. The case was ballotted to Mr. Registrar Hazlett, but up to to-day at noon the adjudication had not been completed. Yes erday a fatal accident happened at the blanket mill of Messrs. Tolson, at Earlsheaton, near Dewsbury. A man named Greenwood was employed at the machine used for teasing wool, and which is fitted with long spikes to effect the purpose intended. In these terrible teeth ho ap p jars to have been caught, and to have been almost instantly killed. His body was much torn. Arthur Forrester, apprehended on suspicion of b ‘ing a Fenian, has been liberated by the Liverpool stipcn d:ary magistrate on finding two sureth s of £lOO each for his good behaviour.

The residuo of her per ,nal estate her ladyship leaves between her daughters, Mary Windsor Clive and Victoria Alexandrina Clive. . A man named Daniel Wright was before the Man chester magistrates. Inspector Shandley stated that Wright was in the habit of inserting advertisements in the Manches ter newspapers for eerks and other servants. As might be expected in the present state of trade in this district, his advertisements did not remain unanswered. "Many young men" presented themselves as candidates for the situations offered, and from one incautious person he obtained a deposit of £lOO "as security for good behaviour." As soon as he received the deposit he absconded, and it will be but poor nmsolation to his victim to learn that "he had used the miney in his business." The prisoner was remanded. The return of Viscount Milton and Mr. B 3 , aumont as members for the Southern Division of the West Riding was celebrated last night by a dinner at Sad dloworth. Viscount Milton explained his opinions on the subject* of education. He considered it the right of every. child in the country to bo instructed, and was in f evour of some such system as was adopted in America. He also advised working men to avail themselves of emigra tiun as a means of bettering their condition, remarking that his travels in the States had satisfied Lim that if Le were a poor man he would certainly not stop in this country. Mr. Beaumo❑t was unable to be present, in cons( quenco of an accident whilst hunting. It bad become known to a numerous class of pro f ::sional paupers that at the Altrincham union there was no labour test, and the consequence was, states the Manchester Courier, that they flocked thither in such numbers that the guardians have had extraordinary difficulty in finding them sleeping accommodation. In order to meet the demand upon them, they have used the fever and other wards for healthy p upers. There were patients in the fever ward, and the result of the arrangement is that two men have caught the contagion. The medical officer has reported the state of things to the guardians, and Las informed them that if either of the men dies "some ono will be liable to be charged with manslaughter." Other sleeping room Las accordingly been made for the paupers, and in orderly speedily to decrease the number of inmates a supply of stones and oakum hag been obtained for test Labour.

E, Brown, left Malta on the 29th ult. for Port Said, having on board her pro prietor, Lord Ashburton, family, and a party of fi ieuds. The Royal Northern Yacht Club screw steamer Hcbe, Captain Mouland, having on board Mr. Charles Maclver and family, returned into Sliema Creek this morning from Sicily. The Royal Yacht Squadron schooner (auxiliary screw) Meteor, captain and owner Mr. T. Brassey, M.P., is still in port. The Northern Confederation screw frigate Arcona, which is here under repairs, came out of dock the day before yesterday. There have been no movements of her Majesty's ships for some time past, but we are expecting here shortly the Jaseur, from the coast of Spain, the Trinculo, from Greece, and the Antelope, from Rhodes. The Rapid and Lee are fitting and preparing for service as soon as possible. The former will probably proceed to the coast of Syria. The Cockatrice is also under going a thorough refit. The surveying vessel Ne‘N - port has gone round from the Marsamusetto to the grand harbour for the purpose of being caulked and refitted. Mr. Edmund Barker Vankoughnet, mid shipman of the Caledonia, and Mr. George Henry Eden, midshipman of the Prince Consort, have passed their examination for the rank of lieutenant, and have been appointed acting sub-lieutenants of their respective ships. Her Majesty's ships in port are as follows :—Lord Warden 8 (bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8.), Capt. T. Bra.ndreth ; Hibernia, receiving-ship, ' (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral E.G. Fanshawe), Commander W. L. Partridge ; Caledonia, 24, Capt T. Cochran ; Prince Consort, 24, Capt. W .

The screw steamship Bristol, 31, Captain F. W. Wilson, from the West Indies, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday afternoon. She sailed from Ber muda on the 6th of December, but when leaving the harbour at 11 a.m. she grounded, and remained there until 5 p.m., then anchored for the night, and sailed finally on the 12th. The Bristol experienced strong northerly gales, which compelled her to lay to occasionally until reaching the Western Islands, since which strong westerly winds have prevailed. She brings from Bermuda Dr W. Richardson, seven naval invalids, and five soldiers. A telegram has been recoived from Bombay stat ing that her Majesty's Indian troopship Malabar left that port for Suez at 4 p.m. of the Ist inst. Rumours very serious for the workmen employed in Chatham Dockyard and for the inhabitants of the town are afloat, that the number of hands in the yard is to be reduced, by degrees, to the extent of from 500 to 1,000 men, by the discharge of "hired' . men and a large superannuation of " established bands who, being of the age of 55 or upwards, may be pronounced not capable of doing their full amount of work per day from the effects of ago or intimity. At the beginning of each year, before the ending of the " financial year," it is crate com mon f•)r a number of men to be discharged for a time from Chatham yard on the ground that the estimates have failed to supply as much money as needed for keeping all hands at work ; and after a time, when a new .financial year has commenced, most or all of these men have been restored to work. The discharges now to be commenced are by some ascribed to this cause, but they are expected to be on a much larger kcal: than usual, and there is an apprehension that the reduction is to be permanent, not temporary; a number of circumstances support that view. A return which has just been ordered tends to con firm the belief that " reduction" is to be the order of the day—it is a return of the pensioners, mili tary and naval, who are working in the dockyards as labourers, and the call for it seems to imply that such men will be elected for discharge. It is con sidered that there is no want of work to be done in the yard at present. at Bristol and Exeter 4 p.cent. 100 87 80 at Caledonian Qrs., No. 2 lOO ... at Do: Scot.

TILE IRISH LAND QUESTION: The conference of Liberal peers, members of the House of Commons, and others, to be held in Dublin on the Irish land question is fixed for the 2d of February. BRIBERY AT NOR TV/CIL The proceedings for alleged bribery at the East Norwich municipal elections commenced to-day against one Ilardiment. Mr. Hardiment is also to be prosecuted by the Attorney-General for bribery at the last Norwich Parliamentary election. At the inspection of Haslar Hospital on the 6th instant Mr. Childers did an act which will be appreciated not only by the medical officers of the Navy, but by the whole service, and is worthy of being recorded. The Director-General had re ported a short time ago to the Admiralty the im portant services rendered by Mr. Godfrey Good man during the prevalence of successive outbreaks of yellow fever at Jamaica Hospital, where he had served continuously for nearly seven years, and this officer was accordingly noted far promotion when he had passed the usual qualifying examina tion, which he did a few days ago. Mr. Childers at the conclusion of his visit at the hospital had Mr. Goodman presented to him by the Director- General, and in the most complimentary manner promoted him on the spot, in the presence of all the assembled officers, thus affording a prompt and noble recognition of his services. The screw steamship Bristol, 31, Capt. F. W. Wilson, from the West Indies, which returned to Plymouth on Thursday, arrived at Barbadoes from Plymouth October 9, sailed on the 11th, reached Martinique on the 12th, and left again on the morning of the 13th, arrived at St. Lucia the same evening, and departed on the morning of the 14th. The Bristol anchored at Trinidad November 18, re mained there until the 24th, and reached Bermuda December 6, departing finally on the 12th for Eng land.

(I , mat the .11 us cal 'andcwcl.) Flotow's " L'Onibre" is to be given at the Opera Comique, Paris. The tenor, Nachbaur, has been engaged for ten years at the Opera Royal, Munich. A Society for the Protect!on of Authors' Rights has been formed at Florence. Mdlle. rlarie Itoze has made anything but a suc cessful debut in " Faust," at Paris. The Emperor of the French pays about £BOO per annum for his private boxes at the Opera Houses. M. : - .anvag,e has ivritten for Rubinstein the libretto of an opera. The work is to be composed for Paris. It is stated that, after the fulfilment of Mario's engagement in Loudon, he will definitively quit the theatre. During next season Thomas's " Hamlet" will be played simultaneously at London, Paris, Berlin, and Vienna. The King of the Belgians has conferred the Chevalier's Cross of his Order on M. Theodore Radona, the musical composer. 13alfe's " Bohemian Girl" was successfully pro duced at the Theatre Lyrique, Paris, last week. The foreign press as a rule speak well of the work. We shall make some remarks next week. Five " musical instruments" have been dug up lately in Pompeii: they are stated to be in an ex cellent state of preservation ; but, unfortunately, we are at a loss as to what kind they may be. The Cubans manifest their admiration for opera artistes in an odd way. Instead of throwing bou quets on the stage, they throw a young negro covered with bracelets of gold and jewellery. The black is, in fact, the favourite's jewel-casket. A boy, named Thomson, aged twelve, has created a sensation at the Conservatoire of Liege, by his extraordinary violin playing of Vieuxtemp's diffi cult " Fantasia Appassionata." The critics describe his tone, power, and command of the instrument as something wonderful. Mr. J. L. Hatton, the eminent composer, is to contribute original music to our contemporary, the illustrated Midland (Birmingham) News, so ably conducted by his namesake; Mr. Joseph Hatton.

The quotation of gold at Paris h about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 15c. per £1 sterling, On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 i75.104d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in London. A competitive examination of candidates for ad mission into the medical service of the Royal Navy will be held at Chelsea Hospital on the 7th of Fe bruary next. BREAKFAST.—Errs's COCOA.—CRATEFUL AND COM FORTING,—Tho very agreeable character of this preparation has rendered it a general favourite. The `Civil Service Gazette' re marks:—" The singular success which Mr. Epps attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has never been surpassed by any experimentalist. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fins properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a deli cately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doe tors' bills." Made simply with boiling water or milk. Sold only in tin-lined packets, labelled "JAMES Errs and Co., Ilomcei pathic Chemists, London. Mr. Ashbury has at last arranged a yacht race with Mr. James Gordon Bennett, jun., to sail the Cambria against the Dauntless from Cowes to New York, on the 4th July, for a service of plate valued at £250. This inte resting match has been arranged through the Cable. We hope that no misunderstanding may arise, and that the result will be accepted manfully by the defeated party, and not furnish a subject for that national recrimination, which is the curse of these "friendly" contests. Other civilised nations cannot but feel amused at the ridiculous importance attached to the boat race of a few young men or a couple o yachts by 70,000,000 of the Anglo-Saxon race. We believe in the Dauntless, and would frooly back that yacht if we were in the habit of betting; but we would sot be very much surprised if the Dauntless is defeated, nor would we, in truth, very much care. Of one thing we are certain, that Vice-Commodore Bennett will drive his yacht along if he takes the masts out of her, and it will not be his fault if she does not win. PRESENTS OF ALL KINDS.—We strongly recom mend the Nobility and Gentry to visit Parkins and Gotto's extensive show-rooms, where may be seen thou sands of useful and elegant articles of English, French and Austrian manufacture, especially adapted for birthday, wedding, and christening presents —in fact presents for every conceivable purpose, at very moderate prices. This is, without exception, the largest and best selected stock in Europe ; each article is marked in plain figures, andlin consequence of a rapid sale is perfectly new and fresh (a great consideration in a present). The stock consists of portrait-albums, writing-cases, dressing-cases, dressing bags, despatch boxes, envelope cases, and blotting books, inkstands, desks, stationery cabinets, handbags, card cases, book-slides, glove and handkerchief boxes, purses, pocket-books, cigar-cases, reticules, opera-glasses, scent cases, smelling bottles, bronzes, eleetro-gilt, oxidised and de, gantly mounted articles for mantelshelf, dining, drawing and library table, chess-boards, bagatelle-boards, card trays, scrap-books, Bibles, Prayer-books, and Church Ser vices, plain and elegantly mounted, besides an endless variety of other articles to suit every taste, purpose, and pocket.--Parkins and Gotto, 24 and 25, Oxford-street, W. A wholesale murder was recently committed near Douglas Place, about 25 miles from San Francisco, at the store of an Italian, named Frank Medina. A disturbance was observed there, but no notice was taken as it was supposed to be a drunken row, till late next morning, when as the store showed no signs of life, and, suspicion being aroused, the place was examined, and the confusion gave evidence of a struggle and robbery. The bodies of Medina, the clerk, two Mexicans, and a coloured man were found in a gulch a quarter of a mile from the house. This was the second robbery perpetrated on Medina, and but a fort night before tw o men wore robbed and murdered within 12 miles of San Francisco. These are the scenes which rouse the citizens into the formation of Vigilance Com mittees when the myrmidons of the law prove too weak to deal with their performer. The St. Louis Republican relates how tlt•-y dealt, in Missouri, with a man named Moore, who was believed to have murdered John Carney and his wife in a store. The sheriff concealed the pri soner, fearing the violence of the people, but when tl exeitemeut had subsided he returned him to gaol. prison was immediately surrounded, Moore take r. harged, though professing his innocence to tl people had, however, the strongest circ"'he- 1 deuce of his guilt.
