MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK Pending a revival of trade, or the resuscitation of some new fashioned speculative enterprise, the Money Market is excessively easy. From present symptoms it may be judged that for a time greater ease will be experienced on the payment of the April dividends, which will release several millions sterling. To-day the market is very quiet, and its terms are just per cent. under the minimum of the Bank. At the Bank of England yesterday there was a further influx of £37,000 in gold. The Sarah Erice has arrived from Australia with gold to the amount of £11,908. It is notified that the debenture coupons of the East India Land, Credit, and Finance Company, due March 30, will be paid on and after that date at the London and Westminster Bank. A few of the principal dealers in the Confederate Cotton Loan Bonds have given notice that all trans actions after the 29th instant must be in bonds that bear the committee's stamp that 1-16th per cent. has been paid towards the expenses of the committee. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures remain steady at 32 33, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 23; 24f. The third ordinary general meeting of the Credit Foncier of Mauritius was also held to-day. The report stated that the amount of mortgage invest ments at the end of 1866 was £250,450 12s. id. ; the aggregate value of the property on which these investments are secured being appraised at £565,571 12s. The half-yearly payments by the mortgagors, including interest and management fees, and an instalment in reduction of principal, have con tinued to be made with remarkable punctuality. After allowing for all charges, including interest on debentures and loans, and the sums credited to the sinking funds established, the accounts for the past year show a net profit of £7,052 3s. 7d. This amount, with the balance of £484 10s. 9d., brought forward from last year's account, affords an avail able surplus of £7,536 14s. 4d., out of which the directors recommend that a dividend of 74 per cent., free of income tax, be declared for the past year, whereof 3i per cent., or 7s. 6,1. per share, has been already paid in the form of an interim divi dend for the first six months of the year. The balance of £7O 9s. 4d. will be carried to the credit of next account. At the general meeting held to-day of the City Offices Company the directors stated that the works have progressed rapidly towards completion, and the revenue from rents now amounts to about £26,000 per annum. The only uncompleted pro perty of the company is the extensive building at the corner of Lombard-street and Gracechurch street, which is being rapidly proceeded with, and will, it is expected, be finished by next Michaelmas. Both for situation and the extent of the ground floor area, without intervening walls, this building promises to stand unrivalled. The frontage in Lombard-street is upwards of 120 feet, and in Gracechurch-street 80 feet. The value of this estate will be materially increased by the open space occasioned by the removal of St. Benet's church. The completion of these premises will terminate all building operations, and the capital account will then be practically closed. The directors feel con fident that the collective properties of the company will prove a safe and remunerative investment. At a meeting held to-day of the Reliance Mutual Life Assurance Society, Mr. W. W. Duffield in the chair, the report stated that the progress of the society during the year 1866 is shown by the issue of six hundred and eighty-two policies, assuring £221,675, and for which £7,348 Os. 3d. was re ceived for premiums. The total income from pre miums and interest was £60,779 ss. 6d., apart from £5OO received for immediate Annuities. The claims, with bonus additions, amounted to £20,871 17s. 6d., and were in respect of fifty four deaths ; whereas, the estimated mortality indicated a probable payment or t 22,304. At the close of the year there were on the books of the society five thousand and eight policies, of which four thousand and five are for the whole of life, assuring £1,462,120 ; two hundred and eighty three are for various terms, assuring £72,591 ; and seven hundred and twenty are for miscellaneous risks. The amount of funds required to meet the present value of these entire liabilities is £175,929 25., whereas the assets are reported to be £204,714. At the end of the.eurrent year the actuarial investiga tion will be resumed, and the surplus funds dis tributed as bonus, subject to the usual reserve. The last week's Railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : Great Western North Western South Western Brighton ... Midland ... South Eastern Great Northern 1867. 1866. ... 65,062 68,379 ...106,480 111,282 ... 10,059 21,344 ... 16,875 17,617 ▪ 48,597 49,167 • 18,711 19,361 • 35,723 34,885 Lancashire and Yorkshire.,, --- --- 41,573 41;512 Bristol and Exeter... ... ... ... 6,194 6,392 North Eastern ••• ... ... .. 66,490 65,687 Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln ... 19,777 19,780 Great Eastern ... ... ... ... 30,918 32,694 London, Chatham, and Dover 7,652 7;988 Glasgow and South-Western 8,917 10,560 Metropolitan ... 3,923 3,817 The returns, when compared with those of the corresponding period of last year are, in most instances, of an unsatisfactory character, induced no doubt by the slackness of trade in the manufac turing districts, and the severe weather lately experi enced. On the Great Western there is a decrease of £3,317 ; on the North-Western of £4,793 ; on the South Western of £2,285 ; on the Brighton of £742 ; on the Midland of £570 ; on the South- Eastern of £650; on the Bristol and Exeter of £l9B ; on the Great Eastern of £1,776 ; and on the London, Chatham, and Dover of £336 ; the Great Northern, however, shows an increase of £1,028, the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £6l, and the North-Eastern of £BO3. The favourable change in the weather has caused more commotion in the Fruit Market. Some par cels oranges from St. Michael, Terceira, Valencia, andtSicily, sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, went at prices in character with condition and qua lity, a proportion of the fruit being landed wasty owing to long voyages from adverse weather. The price of lemons well sustained, and likely to con tinue. Nuts of all kinds in demand, which is usually the case previous to Easter holidays. The last cargo of Seville sours has arrived. A memorial, signed by all the drivers and fire men except four, was yesterday presented to Mr. J. B. Owen, secretary of the Great Eastern Rail way Company, who promised to submit it to the board this day. The only difference between this threatened strike and that of the Brighton Railway is that the firemen require the maximum salary after being promoted to the position of engine-driver three years, whereas on the Brighton line the same advantage is allowed at the end of one year. The best disposition is evinced by the company to meet the wishes of the men, consistent with the interests of the shareholders. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's Telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 15c. Agitated. Flat. Continued firmness has prevailed in the Market for the English Funds. Consols have improved to 911 for money, and to 91i for the account.

Turkish 5 per Cents. remain at 298 308 ; and Chilian Scrip at 2/ 2 dis. The Danubian Scrip has declined I to 2,1 i dis. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been to . a fair extent, but the tendency of prices has again been downwards. Great Northern have de clined 1i i Great Western, North Western, Me- tropolitan, and Midland each 1 ; Great Eastern f, Brighton I, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, and South Eastern each 1. American Securities have slightly improved. United States 5-20 Bonds have advanced to 741 ; Erie Shares 1, to 38f 39f ; and Illinois, 1 to 781 79. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been little variation of importance. San Paulo remain steady at 141 ; Grand Trunk of Canada have declined to 181 ; and East Indian to 1071. Bank Shares are dull. Colonial, however, have improved to 351 36 ; London and Westminster to 921 931 ; London and County remain firm at 56} ; and Union of Australasia at 46k. Miscellaneous and Finance Shares show no change. Hudson's Bay Company, however, have advanced to 16i a ; Credit Foncier of England to 2 7 1- ; Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents. to 661 67f ; while the Viceroy of Egypt Mortgage Loan declined to 721 MINING MARKET.

A RAILWAY GUARD KILLED.—On Monday even ing a fatal accident occurred to Frank Dodson, aged 25, who resided in South-street, 1 - 1 , akefield, and was a luggage train guard in the service of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company.

He was conveyed to Halifax Infirmary, where he expired. Ho leaves a wife and two children.— Yorkshire Post. According to the Capo of Good Hope papers a royal proclamation had been issued by the Queen of Mada gascar, forbidding civilians to wear hats with brims.

In this case plaintiff, a builder, who resides in Cole man-street, Camberwell, sued defendant, a clerk in the office of the European Life Association, 306, Regent-street, for the sum of £5, being money lent. The case had been heard in July last, when defendant was ordered to pay the amount forthwith, but ho had not paid any attention to the order, and the plaintiff now asked for a committal. He was sorry to have to take this course, but he was obliged to do so in consequence of the trouble he had been put to. Defendant's father had told him that his son (the defendant) would not pay unless he was compelled by court process. His Honour consented that defendant should be committed for 30 days, but that the warrant should stand over, provided the defendant would pay £1 on the last of April, and £1 a month after.

The attendance to-day was hardly up to the measure of theprevious one, though the weather, despite some showers, was pleasanter. Tho Epsom Spring Cup, a new Stake, brought ont a good field, and a fine race between Pinchbeck, who made all the running, and the Annie Laurie colt, the former winning by a neck. The best looking lot of 2 yr olds run this season came to the post for the next race, Baron Rothschild's Suffolk being backed almost against the field. He won easily, but those behind him will be heard of, if we mistake not, on a future day. The Great Metropolitan resulted in a surprise as great as the City and Suburban. Proserpine became the favourite before the flag fell, and a good deal of money was invested on Jezabel; while Mr. Brayley, who started Endsleigh to make the running for Douro, was very sanguine of the latter's success. Eudsloigh did make the running, and so effectually that she won, and her owner had the mortifica tion of seeing an unbacked horse win. It was a good race between her and Jezabel, but the latter could not quite get up, and was beaten by a head. Two such instances of " squandering of favourites" and the "mistakes" made by owners have rarely been witnessed as in the result of the two great Epsom Handicaps. The Epsom Spring Cup (Handicap) of 100 sovs, added to a sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, for all ages ; any winner after the publication of the weights 51b extra; the forfeits to be equally divided between the second and . _ third; ono mile.

Pinchbeck got away with the lead, in company with the Vixen colt, Cadiz, Jeannie Deans, and Vandervelde, the others lying up. Rounding Tottenham-corner Aggra vator, who had hitherto lain away, joined the leaders, but dying away as they crossed tho road, together with Cadiz and Vandervelde, Midwife and the Annie Laurie colt were left in attendance upon Pinchbeck, but without fairly reaching her, the latter being beaten after a good race by a neck. Midwife was a bad third, Jeannie Deans fourth, Star Cross fifth, ani Cadiz next. Glengarnock and the favourite were the last two. The New Two Year Old Stakes of 10 soya each, with 100 added, for two year olds; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b ; the owner of the second to receive 25 soya out of the stakes ; the winner of the Two Year Old Stakes on the first day 51b extra ; all other winners of plates and stakes 31b, if twice 71b extra (extreme penalty); T.Y.C.

GLAD STONE.—At a meeting of advanced Liberals, held at Leeds On Tuesday night, under the presidency of Mr. Alderman Tatham, Mr. Alderman Carter moved a resolution which expressed regret at Mr. Gladstone's speech on Monday night, in which ho said he regarded a £6 rental franchise as a reasonable and permanent settlement of the Reform question. It was said that Yorkshiremen would not be satisfied with any such niggardly extension. Alderman Carter said he would rather have Mr. Disraeli's bill, with all its objections, than the miserable compromise suggested by Mr. Gladstone. The resolution was adopted. cADVERTISEMENT.I —Holloway's Pills.—Merit Rewarded. —.Lillis famous family medicine has withstood the test of time and the most unrelenting opposition. These pills are a direct purifier of the blood and all the other fluids of the human body. During the winter and early spring no house or home should be without the means of arresting disease at its onset; such means are safely and surely pre sented in thes3 excellent pills, when they are taken accord ing to the accompanying directions. Holloway's medicine removes dyspepsia, promotes digestion, and acts as a mild and effective aperient. These pills are strongly recom mended to those persons who are constitutionally weak and whose nervous systems have been shattered by illness; on such they will confer indescribable comfort. '~ IMPERIAL PARL IA KENT lIOUSE OF COMMONS. —LAST Evrainici. The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. WATERFORD ELECTION COMMITTEE. At the request of Mr. HUGH AD AIR, leave was given to this committee at its rising to-day to adjourn till Friday on account of melancholy private business of one of the members. ARTIZANS' AND LABOURERS' DWELLINGS BILL. Mr. 111 - CULLAGII TORRENS moved the second read, ing of this bill, which he said was similar to the meas-are introduced last year as it loft the select committee. It might be said that it contained a principle of undue inter ference with Free-trade, but if it was shown that that in terference was not in their case urgently necessary, he was willing to concede that the bill ought not to be passed. many cases hardworking men were condemned to inhabit styes, which members of that House would not con.. detun their horses or dogs to live in. In such cir cumstances, he contended, they could not expect these men to turn to intellectual pursuits ; far less could they restrain theta from going round the corner and getting three-pennyworth of paradise from the gin shop. That House was accountable, if having the means within their Power, they neglected to use them. The hon. member pro- Ceeded to give instances of over-crowding, remarking in passing that it was a mockery to tell workingmen to go to the country, because the expense was too great. In a densely populated court, packed as close with human beinws as herrings in a barrel, a man caught f ever , an d his wife and six children w ere obliged to inhale the impure air.. Why did the fever make sure work? Because in a house of eight rooms there were livings 7 people. The parish sup plied a coffin ; but what happened then ? The wife and children were thrown upon the rates. This was bad, both on the ground of principle and economy, and went a great way to meet the objections that this bill would add to the rates. Besides, he had a petition earnestly praying that the bill might be passed from one of the most heavily rated parishes in the metropolis. He could give hundreds of such examples. The bill had been thoroughly sifted by the select committee, and they considered it a safe measure. It adopted the principle of the act given to Liverpool four years ago, by which the officer of health was enabled to give information when any house was unfit for habitation, and the scope of that act was extended so as to include re building, a power which Liverpool was also desirous of obtaining. Mr. H. J. SELWIN supported the bill, and said that three millions sterling were expended in relief and chari ties every year in the metropolis; but, however large that sum might be, it was only a relief of the evil after the fact, it was not an attempt to remove it. lie quoted from statis tics to show the death-rates of various large towns, and, adverting to the large number of persons in the metropolis who lived in unhealthy habitations, said he should prefers more elastic system of meeting the difficulty than that proposed by the hon. member for FinsburT. They might, he thought, request the Government to give a guarantee of four per cent. on capital invested in dwellings such as those proposed by the bill, and in that way they would attract a great amount of capital which was at present un invested. On going into committee, if the bill were read a second time, he would ask the sense of the house on this suggestion. Sir J. O. JERVOISE and Mr. GREEN supported the bill. Mr. AYRTON thought it was a misfortune that the bill did not extend to all England, and especially to rural dis tricts, where the squalor of the houses was greater than in the metropolis. But there appeared to be some misap prehension as to the bill : it could not deal with over crowding by the provisions which it contained ;•it dealt with property no longer fit for human habitation. That was a distinct questionfrom overcrowding. A house might be fit for habitation if it was only occupied by the num ber of people for whom it was designed. But if they put into it four or five times the number, it was quite plain it must be injurious to health : that, however, was a dis tinct question from the condition of the house itself. He had walked into many of the alleys of the metropolis, and he could assure the house that the structure of the• build ings was rather exaggerated by fanciful and philosophical persons. He believed very few houses were in themselves unfit for habitation if the number of people living in them were not too great. With some alteration in committee he thought the bill should be passed ; and especially should they guard against any abuse in the sale of dilapidated houses which had been allowed to fall into disrepair merely that they might be profitably sold to the parish. The market value at the time of the purchase should only be given, and no compensation should be allowed for corn-. pulsory purchase. _ After some observations from Mr. POLLARD-URQUHART and Mr. EDMUND POTTER, Mr. HENLEY said the importance of the bill could not be overrated. Mr. Ayrton had well pointed out that it only referred to houses unfit for habitation, and the re marks of several previous speakers were therefore inap plicable. He was of opinion that the measure did not go too far, and that it would be productive of beneficial results. Mr. BRUCE, concurring in the remarks of Mr. Ayrton, pointed out that the bill did not give power to build houses for the labouring classes wherever they were wanted. Power was only given to pull down houses after they were judicially condemned as unfit for human habitation, no pro vision being at the present time made for erecting suitable dwellings in their places, if the owner failed to do so. Mr. T. CHAMBERS said that nine-tenths of the mis chief complained of—overcrowding—was not at all touched by the bill. The evil with which it dealt was, according to the hon. member for Tower Hamlets, of a very limited amount.. lie was in favour of the measure so far as it re lated to the destruction of fever dens ; but he was afraid that, by giving to local bodies power to effect supposed local improvements, they would put a stop to a philanthro pical spirit for doing good. He hoped the measure would be seriously altered in committee, and if not he should vote against it. Mr. J. B. SMITH concurred with Mr. Chambers, and objected to the machinery of the bill. Mr. LOCKE, in reply to Mr. Chambers, remarked that the evil of overcrowding was met by the Health Bill of last session, to which the present measure was only a supple ment. Mr. URAVES referred to what had taken place in Liver-- pool, and spoke strongly in favour of the bill. Col. SYKES thought some clauses should be introduced in addition to the provisions of the Health of Towns Act. Unless this were done people would continue to crowd together from motives of economy. Mr. POWELL pointed out several amendments which he hoped would be made in committee. He objected to the clause which provided that in certain cases when a house was taken down no other house should be erected on the same site. Mr. HUGHES understood that a division could be taken on the bill with respect to the rebuilding of houses by the local authories. On that point he believed that the fall ing down of houses in poor districts without erecting other houses in or near the same site would do more harm than good. It was to be observed that a sufficient time would be allowed to the owner to rebuild if he thought proper; and if he failed to do so, it was only right that the local authorities should have power to step in and make provision for those who had been turned out of their dwellings. Mr. HUBBARD thought the bill would require consi derable alteration before it could be rendered entirely satis factory. Mr. BAZLEY disapproved of the provisions which called upon the local authorities to give effect to it. Mr. WALPOLE thought the houses taken down should be rebuilt, unless they were required for a better purpose. It would become a matter of the greatest import ance, when the bill was in committee, to frame such clauses as would prevent the landlords pocketing more than the annual marketable value of the property. The clauses with respect to loans and securities would also require considera tion, and he suggested to the hon. gentleman (Mr. Torrens) that he should put himself in communication with the Treasury before going into committee. If these matters were properly arranged the bill would then receive his cordial approval. Mr. M‘LAREN approved of the bill. Mr. H. LEWIS contended that the bill would throw an additional rate of threepence in the pound on the metro polis, and lie thought they should not give their sympathy to one class however deserving it might be. Mr. KINNAIRD was of opinion that the rates were high in consequence of the existence of fever nests, the rooting out of which would affect them in a corresponding degree. The bill was then read a second time without a divi sion. CRIMINAL LAW BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Mr. GURNEY moved the insertion of clauses to provide for the allowance of costs and expenses of prosecutors and witnesses in certain cases of misdemeanour, for which no such provision was made. . _ . Mr. HUNT thought it important that the rnisde-. xneanonrs for which costs were to be allowed should be stated in the bill. Mr. BARROW objected to the amendment, because by the proposed clauses the public might be called upon to pay the costs of a prosecution instituted for private and personal motives. Mr. HENLEY thought that the payment of costs in all cases of misdemeanour was going too far. it was opening the door to unlimited expense. He hoped the right hon. gentleman (Mr. It. Gurney) would reconsider his proposal. Mr. AYhTON objected to the amendment. After a few words from Mr. It. GURNEY, the amendment was negatived. A dicussion arose on another proposed addition to the bill, viz., a proviso to enable magistrates to order the pay ment of the expenses of witnesses called by a prisoner to prove his innocence, provided it was clearly established, but it was eventually withdrawn. The remaining clauses were agreed to and the bill was reported with amendments. SALE OF LAND BY AUCTION BILL This bill passed through committee pro forma in order that it might be reprinted.

It was read a first time, and fixed for a second reading on the 7th of May. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the house adjourned. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (By Telegraph.)
