NONE MARKET AND COMMEROUL IN TELLIGEN OE, TWELVE O'CLOCK As was fully anticipated, the directors of the Bank of England have, at their usual Thursday Court, adjourned without making any change in their discount regulations. Although money is superabundant and obtainable upon bills as low as n per cent., there is demand for gold on export account, and various contingencies to beconsidered, rencletin.; a reduction of the minimum inexpedient ; besides which it would, amidst the prevailing plethora, be an unprofitable attempt on the part of the authorities to compete with their neighbours, Who would modify their terms in proportion, and bring affairs relatively in the same position as before. The City of Baltimore has arrived from New York with specie to the amount of about £3,000. Messrs. J. H. Schroder and Co. have notified that the fourth drawing for the redemption of the 4 i per cent. Swedish Government Loan of 1864 for £2,223,000 sterling, took place at Stockholm on the 2d January last, when Bonds, amounting to £ 1 1,300 were drawn by lot for repayment at par, £5,600 on the 15th April, and £5,700 on the 15th October• next. The holders of the Bonds drawn are requested to present the same in the ceurs.e for payment. A small amount of gold, representing £33,000, was taken from the Bank of England yesterday. The withdrawals during the Gazette week have amounted to £485,000, and further sums are ex pected shortly to follow. Notice has been given that the seventh ordinary general meeting of the Thames and Mersey Ma rine Insurance Company will take place on the 15th instant. Mr. Richard Davis, of No. 14, Walbrook, has been appointed by his Honour Vice-Chancellor Stuart official liquidator of the Granite and Hard Stone Working Company (Limited.)

At a meeting held to-day of the Warrant Finance Company, a resolution was carried to leave the arr an , gement of the bu s i ness i n th e h an d s o f t h e ("recom, pledging themselves not to engage in anY new business. The recent fall in the price of Consols, produced b y S peculative sales, based upon French politics, withdrawals of gold from the Bank, and the halite(' purchases of i nves t ments, has been fol l?wed, as mi g ht h ave b een expected, by reac tionary sympt oms, an d an advance of per cent. has already taken place, the latest prices being 903f0r transfer, and the same for the account. Some of the bears are evidently inclined to take the p ro fits within their reach, especially as, in many eases, they must be considerable. A general improvement has taken place in the Fo reign Market, and a moderate amount of busi ness has been recorded. Chilian Scrip, which was Yesterday rather depressed, has realised to the extent of i f , viz.—to 1} 1 prem., but with few dealings. Turkish Fives have risen to 29i 1, Mexican to 171 18, and Greek to 14i—in case an imp rovement of p r cent.

Account THE GREAT LOSS OF LIFE AT THE REGENT'S-PARS. That portion of the Regent's-park facing the scene of the late terrible accident has beeome, by the rapidity of the thaw, latterly a dismal swamp. The paths are two, and in some instances three, inches deep in their slushy mud, and altogether the place has a most desolate appear ance. The men engaged in the laborious task of sinking the hole in order to leach the private sewer running beneath the lake this morning had reached about halfway down, supposing they have only to go down 16ft., but it is now supposed that 19ft. will have to be cleared out betore the brickwork is reached. The lake getting rapidly clear of ice, of course facilitates the diving operations, which aro still being carried on, and although it was expected that in the event of other bodies than those recovered still remaining in the water would by this time rise to the surface, none have, however, made their appear ance, although the ice now only remains in places far from the accident, and where it has not from the first been dis turbed. With the exception of the men at work, there were not swenty persons present in the Park this morning watching he operations. L&W INTEL LIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, and Justices Mellor, Blackburn, and Lush.) AMES V. LORD ERNEST VANE TEMPEST-CRIMINAL INFOR- MiTION-JUDGMENT. This case has come before the Court in different forms, and the legal proceedings arose originally out of an assault alleged to have been committed by the defendant on the plaintiff. Both parties had held the rank of cor nets in the 4th Light Dragoon Guards in the October of 1856, but the defendant was deprived of his commis sion, and it appeared that he attributed that fact in some degree to the plaintiff, but the cause of difference between the parties was not developed in the course of the proceedings. The assault consisted of spit ting in the face of the plaintiff in the streets of Brighton, in the November, of 1856, and calling him a coward &c. The circumstance having transpired, the commanding officer called on the plaintiff to adopt proceedings to vindi cate his professional character, and accordingly ho applied for and obtained, ex parte, a rule for a criminal informa tion against the defendant who left the country a few days afterwards. Action had been taken on that rule, which had been made absolute, and the defendant was outlawed. The case !Anse before th e i r l ordsh i ps for argument th i s morning, in consequence of Lord Ernest Vane Tempest having surrende re d himself to the judgment of the Court. His l ordship (the d e f endant) has filed an affidavit in which he stated th at he had left England, with a view not of evading the con sequences of his offence, but owing to the pecuniary embarrassments in which he was placed at the time he was deprived of his commission. He said that he was a miner at the time of th e o ff ence, and that he had since resided in America, with the exception of a short visit to Paris to Dee his mother, the late Marchioness of Welles ley, when she was dying. Mr. Garth, Q.C., Mr. Massey Dawson, and Mr. Woollett attended on behalf of the prosecutor, and their contention was that the affidavit was insufficient as regarded their client, inasmuch as it did not contain any apology to him for what was admitted to hare been a most gross outrage, committed on an officer and a gentleman. There had been no desire evinced on the part of the defendant that he wished to make any atonement to the plaintiff or prosecutor, and all he did was merely to purgo himself of his contempt for the legal proceedings of the court. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Poland, for the defendant, in the course of a brief but singularly able and eloquent address argued that there was an absence of any knowledge of the circumstances in connection with the dispute between the parties which led to the assault. Their lordships having deliberated for some time, Mr. Justice Blackburn delivered the judgment of the Court. He addressed the defendant, who, as well as the prosecutor, attended in person in the court. Ho said that the Court had considered all the circumstances of the case, and had come to a careful conclusion. Ten years had elapsed since the committal of the offence, and at that time the defendant was under age. Ile had been expatriated in consequence of an act into which ho had been betrayed, and which unques tionably was one of the grossest description that could be committed by one gentleman against another, particularly when they held a rank as officers in her Majesty's service. In the case as presented to the Court there was an absence of the facts that led to the assault, either in aggravation of the same or in its mitigation, and therefore they wore compelled to a certain extent to proceed upon assumption. His lordship then went in detail through the principal a:guments raised by the counsel pro and con., and said that the Co ur t did not consider the infliction of such a fine as they would feel justified in imposing, would bo sufficient• expression of the feeling they entertained of the conduct of the defendant. His lordship then adverted to the alteration which had taken place in the deportment of gentlemen towards each other when differences arose be tween them, in which, instead of resorting to physical violence, they appealed to legal tribunal for redress. The sentence of the court was, that the defendant should be imprisoned for three calendar months as a first-class mis demeanant. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. (This Day.)

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The discussion relative to the Emperor's Letter, if discussion it may be called where there is so much unanimity, is nearly exhausted. The Constitutionnel prefers the system of putting questions to debates upon the Address, because it gives to the great bodies of the State the most efficacious, the most natural, and the most speedy mode of expressing their opinion upon the acts of power. The suppres sion of discussion on the Address, therefore, will not have the result of restricting and controlling opinion. Another writer contends that supposing the Govern ment desired to keep certain points in the dark that would lead to the belief that they were afraid of the light, whereas, on the contrary, it provokes investigation. The journal La France says that the questioning which the Government has decided to allow will have the advantage over debates upon the Address, that it will immediately elicit and resolve the great questions upon which public opinion has for so long a time been excited. There are, of course, some objections to the pro positions from the Opposition journals, but they seem to think them so untenable that they quote the arguments from other papers in favour of the change. The Court of Cassation has given an important decision upon an appeal of M. Delevault, editor of the Memorial des Deux Sevres, against the judg ment of the Imperial Court of Poitiers. It has decided that the infraction of Article 14 of the organic decree respecting the press, of the 17th February, 1852, given by the publication of a re port of the sittings of the Legislative Body other than the official report, was a contravention, pure and simple. Consequently the editor of the articles published cannot be prosecuted as an accomplice, because he has not taken any direct part in the pub lication. The Court, therefore, has set aside the judgment of the Court of Poitiers of the 22d of Nov., 1566, which sentenced M. Delavault to pay a fine of 100 f. as author of a report published in the Memorial des Deux Sevres. The Minister of Marine and the Colonies has re ceived news respecting the education ship, the Jean Bart, dated Rio Janeiro, the 21st of December last. The sanitary state of all on board was excellent. All trace of the epidemic had disappeared. A. letter from Rome states that the Legate of Tuscany, which, since the annexation of that coun try to Italy, has been maintained at the Holy See, has been supported by the Grand Duke since the Ist of January. The religious discussions being terminated, all that remains to be settled between the Pontifical State and Italy are the regulations regarding pass ports, transit, and the Customs. The weather is completely changed and the frost has again loft us. About seven o'clock last evening from intense cold it turned to comparative warmth. About 4 o'clock this morning it began to rain very heavily, and the rain continued with little interrup tion for two or three hours. By ten o'clock not a particle of snow was to be seen in or around Paris, and a mild spring-like air has prevailed all day. It is a searching but gentle thaw, so amusement on the ice is over for the present. In the sun at four o'clock it was quite warm. An accident, which might have proved almost as tehgeelißt-par o 's is de Boulogne. In k, took place on f is a i t o a n l dn a y s o t n ha t t h i e n ic t e he on lt spite of the injunctions of the wood-keeper a num ber of persons persisted in going to skate upon the ice which was marked " dangerous." All of a sudden they were precipitated into the water by the breaking of the ice. The water is very deep at this point. The keeper who wished to seize the ringleader of the group was himself dragged into the water. Happily effectual assistance was at hand, and the whole of the imprudent skaters were brought safely to land. Among the persons who assisted in this rescue was an individual employed at the Tribune of Com merce, who has obtained several medals for similar heroic conduct. A rare incident consequent upon the cold was remarked at Havre. The promenaders on the Place du Theatre were astonished at the appear ance of a flight of partridges. They were so be numbed by the cold that several allowed themselves to be captured by the hand. A Belgium journal relates a still more extraordinary occurrence—an attack upon a railway train by wolves. A luggage train, with minerals and sheep, was proceeding on the Luxembourg Railway where the snow had so accumulated that there was a fear it would put the fire out. The train was therefore stopped, and the guard went to Poix for assistance. While the train was stopped, the engine-driver and other persons were in a critical position. The howl of wolves was heard, and, no doubt attracted by the smell of sheep, five of these animals came close to the train. All that these persons could do was to scatter steam upon the wolves, and make the locomotive whistle cound as loudly as it was possible. The wolves, however, nothing daunted, got upon the engine. The men, how ever, defended themselves with such weapons as they had at hand. One of the wolves was killed, _ . and the men were able to preserve themselves from the attacks of the others until assistance arrived. They were, however, kept in fearful alarm for two mortal hours. Twenty workmen then arrived and the train was able to proceed, bearing away the dead body of th e wolf. The accounts f rom Spain speak of the excessive severity of the w ea th er there. Such quant i t i es of snow had fallen at Oviedo, that it was feared the houses would give way under the weight of it. At Leon large numbers of wolves had made their ap pearance, the cold having driven them from the fields, but the Spanish wolves do not appear to be so daring and voracious as Belgian wolves, for no account is given of their having attacked any Rail way train. A widow lady, named Descuriaux, has just died at Lauze, in the department of M. Haute Marne, aged 100 years, a month, and 16 days. She had all her faculties up to the last moment. A murder, no doubt with the intention of robbery, has been committed at Chartres. Between nine and ten in the evening an individual broke into the apartment of M. Ossude, who resides in the Rue du Pave de Bouneval, and murdered an old woman, his servant. She had a mortal wound in the breast, and her throat was cut. Death must have been instantaneous. M. Ossude returned home before there was time to commit a robbery. The murderer no longer exi s t s i n Belgium u stabbed him in two places with a knif e an d rus h ed past him and made his escape. Although t s plague still practi se d b y t h e onaking great rava ges towards the German fro nt ier. The Prussi an autho rities are amazingly st rict in their regulati ons ; at authorities, ritiegreat as the thecattled iprecautionss ea s e is all events, travellers are not very well pleased with them, for they are compelled to submit to nauseous fumigations. Lately some travellers were fumigated to such an extent that the remedy was almost worse than the disease, for the railway companies refused to admit them into their carriages, as their clothes emitted such abominable odours. The following is an interesting pendant to the amount of the present population of Paris. In the 13th century Paris contained 120,000 inhabitants ; in 1474, 150,000 ; under Henry 11., 210,000 ; in 1590, 200,000 ; under Louis XIV., 492,600 ; in 1719, 509,640 ; in 1776, 658,000 ; in 1778, 670,000; in 1784, 660,000 ; in 1798, 640,000 ; in 1802, 672,000 ; in 1817, 713,966 ; in 1827, 890,431 ; in 1836,909,126; iu1841,912,033; in 1816, 1,053,897 ; in 1851, 1,053,262; in 1856, 1,174,346 ; in 1861, 1,696,141 ; and in 1866, 1 ,825,294. Since 1841 the population of Paris has been doubled. TIIF.

T-1 CIGAR-MAKING IN —AVA--The re may .be small manufacturers of Havana who own but two or threo slaves, or employ but two or throe work-women, and they may do their work in a brutish and uncleanly manner; but so far as my own experience at the Hija de Cabanas y Carvajal's renders me a trustworthy witness, I may vouch for the scrupulous cleanliness and delicacy with which every single stage in the process of cigar -making is conducted. I have seen barley-sugar made, and I have seen broad made, and I certainly consider the manufacture of cigars to be a nicer transaction than either bread or sweet-stuff making. Nothing can be orderly, more sym metrical, than the appearance of the cutting and shaping room. The operators sit to their work, and make the cigars with tkeir fingers, but do not roll them into the shape by attrition on their sartorius muscles as is popu larly supposed. Every operator has his counter or desk, his sharp cuttLog tools, and a pot of gum for fastening the tips, with his stock of assorted tobacco-leaf in baskets by his side. It is a competitive vocation. The best work men are the best off. Payment is by results. Many of the hands pmployed are negro slaves, or were so when I was in Havana three years ago ; but the finer cigars, the prime Cabanas, the Napoleones, the Espaniales and Reg-a lias, aro made exclusively by white Creole Spaniards, who are paid according to the number they can turn out a day, and many of whom realise very handsome wages. Good cigars are very dear in Havana.—Dicken44 "All .tho Year Round.

REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT SHEFFIELD.—Ort ae auspiceslform o d f em th o e n s st h r e a ffi tio e n ld t ß oo r k an p e l h ac o e f underMond Monday yt hathteSNheaffitioenld,al Reform League. In the morning a procession marched through the principal streets, but the whole number of those who took part in it was less than 1,000. At the open air meeting, however, which took place in the after noon in the Haymarket,' there) was a very large assembly, numbering, probably, between 5,000 and 6,000. There were three platforms, the principal speakers being Mr. Ernost Jones, Mr. S. Plimsoll (President of the Sheffield Branch of the League), and Mr. Mantel, of London, agent of the League. Resolutions were simul taneously passed in favour of residential and registered manhood suffrage, and thanks were tendered to "Earl Russell, William Ewart Gladstone, John Bright John Stuart Mill, Thos. Hughes, Professor Fawcett, Ed mond Reales, and others, for their able and manly defence of constitutional government." 'lwo meetings wore an nounced for the evening--one at the Mechanics'-hall, and the other at the Temperance-hall. The attendance at the former place was so small, in consequence of is. being charged for admission, that an adjournment to the Tempe -1 rance-hall was decided upon. The attendance at the latter place was not at the outset very largo, as none but ticket holders, who had to pay for their tickets, wore at first ad mitted. The building, however, was soon filled when the doors were opened to the public. The chair was occupied by Mr. S. Plimsoll, and among the speakers were Mr. N. Jones, Mr. Mantel, and Mr. W. E. Leathern, the late mem ber for Wakefield, who made a long speech. The O'Do noghue, Lord Milton, Mr. Reales, and others, who were ex pected to address one or other of the meetings, were not prosant • How not TO Do IT.—The officers of Royal Engineers and Royal Artillery are commonly con sidered to belong to scientific branches of the service. Therefore they are not to study strategy. At Chatham there used to be a course of lectures on strategical subjects, but some one at the War-office has found the flagrant at tempt at improvement, and has docked the grant off the estimates, in order that the Engineers and Artillery may have increased facility to study—architecture ! Perhaps there is something to be said in defence of the proceeding. But it surely has not received the sanction, or rather it has not been by the desire or with the approval, of Colonel Simmons. If the officers of the establishment were con sulted, we think they would not approve the change. It would bo interesting to ascertain the motives for making it, and, in the hope that some one may be able to elucidate them, we draw attention to the subject in these few lines. —Army and Navy Gazette. LONGEVITY.—A peasant, named Percy, born ill a village between Worcester and Malvern, and believed to be still living at Leckhampton, near Cheltenham, is sup posed to be the oldest man in England, being about 110 years old. In 1860 proofs of his birth and age were for warded to the Queen, who sent him a gratuity of £5, and last November he was seen walking with crutches in Chel tonham.—Birminghara Daily Gazette. SLIPPERY WEATHER.—The slippery pavements were very trying to all classes. Acrobats tumbled for nothing, bankers lost their balance, farmers grazed their shins, soldiers embraced the flags, tailors measured their length, travellers tripped in all directions, and young men found their whiskers turn white in a single night.—Punch. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CURLER.—MT. Collin Croall, superintendent of the Scottish Central Railway Station, Perth, died on Monday evening from the effects of an accident received at the Grand National Curling Match at Carsebreck, last week.—Scotsman. LEPROSY IN HOLLAND.—Leprosy is said to have broken out at the Government Hospital at Bronbeck, in Holland. It was brought from the West Indies by an old soldier, and then became communicated to several others of the inmates. THE JAMAICA C O MMITTEE.--(ADVERTISEMENT.) —The Jamaica Committee respectfu l ly announce that in order to carry out, if possible, the views of its members, and to divest Great Britain of the incutnbrances called colonies, no better plan can be suggested than the prosecu tion of such of her Majes'y's officers as may be selected for colonial governments, and who may have occasion to save the colonies in their charge. When such treatment shall have rendered it impossible to obtain high-class officials for the dependencies, the latter w:11 be disgusted into severing a tie which, for patriotic reasons only, the com mittee desires should bo broken. As such prosecutions are expensive, subscriptions are solicited. —Punch. A School of Art has just been established in Maidstone. •••mis )1 or of , 20 '404 10 ,00
