NON - E - Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The money market continues very steady at pre vious quotations ; if anything, money is not quite so plentiful. It has been notified that Mr. William Grain, of No. 31, Threadneedle-street, London, has been appointed a Commissioner of Affidavits for the Canadian Courts, and of Deeds for the States of New York and California. A further withdrawal of £60,000 in gold took Place at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. The fallowing are the latest prices of buldou : Bar gold, 775. 9d. to 775. Sid. per oz. standard ; bar gold, parting, 78s. do. ; doubloons, Spanish, 7 os• 6d. to 765. 6d. do. ; doubloons, Mexican and South American, 73i. 9kl. to 745. 3d. do. ; United States eagles, 765. 4d. to 763, sd. do. ; bar silver, sa • do. ; bar silver, containing gold (5 grains and upwards), ss. id. to ss. kd. do. ; dollars, Mexi can, 4s. 11-id. do. ; cake silver, ss. sfd. do. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets durin g the last few days there has been only a Moderate amount of business transacted, the opera tions in tea having been deferred until the public S ales, which commence this day. Sugars have Maintained steady prices, while superior qualities of coffee have brought full values. In rice the opera tions have been to a very moderate extent, the high rates demanded by holders having checked exten sive operations. In tallow the dealings have been to a very moderate extent, and prices have in some instances ruled a shade firmer, particularly for forward delivery. We have received the annexed with regard to the arrangements between the Grand Trunk and the Great Western Railways of Canada "It is announced that the negotiations to which the chairman of the Grand Trunk and Great West ern Railways of Canada referred at their late half yearly meetings as being then in progress, have now been brought to a successful termination— a memorandum of agreement having been settled by the two boards. The principle of the agreement is to charge equal rates and fares for competitive traffic, and a division of all traffic for which the two companies compete in Canada. There are also stipulations preventing any unnecessary outlay by either companies for new lines, and for the joint working of the stations of the two lines where they come in contact. It is believed that the result of this agreement will be not only to obtain more re numerative rates for the existing traffic, but also to develops the traffic of both companies, with, at the same time, a reduction in the working expenses." The report has been issued of the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China for the past 12 months ending 31st December last, f rom which it will be seen that the profit amounts to £ 1 02,221 3s. 2d., to which has to be added £2,713145. 2d., brought forward from the previous year, making a total of £104,934 17s. 4d. A sum of £75,000 has been paid in two half-yearly divi dends of five per cent. each. The shareholders will Probably have anticipated from the disastrous events of 1866 that the results of the bank's operations fo r that ye ar h ave b een unsat i s f actory. L oo ki ng fo rward to the possibility of continued danger, the directors considered it their duty to curtail as much 48 Possible their business at all points, and it will be Se en from the accounts that this policy has been strictly carried out, though at the cost of a very material reduction of the usual profits of the bank.

This morning, at a little after eight o'clock, the prisoner, Frederick Alexander Watkins, was con veyed from Ilford Gaol to Waltham Abbey Police court. At 11 o'clock this forenoon Mr. Domes, the chairman of the bench of magistrates, took his seat, when the prisoner was placed in the dock. Mr. Abrams, of Bow-street, London, appeared to defend the prisoner, and said—l presume, as the prosecutrix is not well enough to give evidence to day, the accused will be remanded after the evi dence of Dr. Horne has been taken. Dr. Horne said the young woman was progress ing favourably up to Friday last, when serious head symptoms supervened, and since Sunday another change has taken place, and she is now better. Mr. Abrams—Do you now think that all danger is over? Dr. Horne—l cannot go so far as to say that; but if things go on favourably she will be out of danger next Tuesday. The Bench then remanded the prisoner for a week. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET-This Day. Market opens opens steady, at unchanged rates. Sales probably 8,0050 or 10,000 bales. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

DISMCSSAL OF A VOLUNTEER.—On Saturday, at the assembly of the lot Warwickshire Volunteers i❑ Bir mingham Drummer Cotterell was publicly dismissed from the corps, pursuant to decision of a court of inquiry, for having hissed and assaulted a member of the drum and fife band of the corps. This is the second dismissal from this corps within a short time. TIIE LUXEMBURG CONFERENCE.—The Hon, Jur Fano, secretary of Embassy at Paris, has been appointed protocolist of the conference, about to assemble in London on the Luxemburg question.

ROBBERY AT THE PARIS ExiIIBITION. The director of the Austrian museum at the Great Exhibition discovered on Saturday that a work of art, consisting of a sil ver jug set with jewels, and valued at 3,000 f., had been stolen from a glass case out of public reach. The article had evidently been taken in the night and by some one able to have easy access to the place. After an investigation, three of the Austrians employed at the museum were ar rested. ICE IN TIM ATLANTIC.—IteCent accounts from Newfoundland report the arrival there, at Harbor Grace, of two ships, the Isabella and the Haidee, from Oporto. The former of these vessels was surrounded by ice for 16 days, and the latter was upwards of 30 days in the same perilous position. Both vessels were severely dam aged about the cutwater and stern. The copper was completely stripped off each of them, and the former was so leaky that she could not have floated many days longe r. The students of the Quartier Latin, Paris, have put their threat into execution, and have published List No. 1 of tho hotels where the charges have been raised. At the same time they publish a list of those whose pro prietors have not altered their tariff. Both the public and the press applaud this attempt to " bell the cat," and some of the papers go so far as to insert in their columns a letter from the " committee of action," containing tho lists in question. The Times of yesterday states that the law ad vistirs of the crown in the month of November, 1856 (Sir Alexander Cockburn, Sir R. Bothell, and Mr. Willes), signed an opinion to the effect that there is a right to close the gates and exclude the publi..! ; or, the gates being open, to exclude persons, but that persons who have once entered cannot be turned out without notice that the licence is withdrawn.

BAIL COURT. (Sitting at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice Mellor.) MILLER Y. KIMBRAY. This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages for injuries sustained through the bite of a dog, the property of the defendant, a widow, who keeps a lodging-house at 4, Gardner-lane, Westminster. Mr. Joyce and Mr. Pearse appeared for the plaintiff, but the defendant was not represented by counsel. From the evidence it appeared that the plaintiff is a person in humble circumstances, living at 2, Gardner-lane, occupying an apartment in one of the houses of the de ' feudant. She went last January to pay some rent to the landlady at her house, when she was attacked by a fero cious dog, the property of the latter, which inflicted such injuries on her leg and thigh that she was laid up for ten days in the Lospital, and was still about-patient. She was unable to attend to her duties. and she and her husband sustained such pecuniary loss as, in their humble circum stances, became a very serious matter. When the dog at tacked Mrs. Miller, the defendant cried, " Good God, he is going to worry her," a proof, as it was contended by counsel, she must have been aware of hit vicious habits of the animal. It was proved that it had flown at some of the neighbours, and about three years ago bit a man in the leg, as he stated, tearing away the trowsers and a piece of his calf, by which he was laid up for several weeks, but no action was brought, the matter having been arranged between the defendant's husband, who was then living, and the party in question. The medical gentlemen subpoenaed not being in attend ance, this closed the plaintiff's case. . _ _ The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, assessing the damages at £lO. CRIMINAL COUR r.-(rIIIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) CHARGE OF STABBING. John Bryan and Richard Bryan were indicted with feloniously wounding Thomas Elvin, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm, and also with unlawfully as saulting Williarn:lzzard, a.pelice constable, whilst engaged in the execution of his duty in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty of the charge of stabbing, but found both prisoners guilty of the assault. Thomas Gough was then tried, in company with the prisoners, on the charge of stabbing. The jury found him guilty of unlawful wounding. A number of former convictions were proved against John Bryan and Richard Gough. The Recorder sentenced John Bryan to fifteen months' imprisonment with hard labour. The prisoner on hearing his sentenco said—" All right old boy ; I'm young and I can do it." (Laugllter.) Gough was sentenced to twelve months' and Richard Bryan to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. NEW COURT. John Balls, a labourer, was indicted with stealing a watch and chain, the property of Mr. Charles Cadge. When the prisoner was brought up ho refused to plead. The learned Judge called upon the prison surgeon to say whether there was anything to lead him to believe that the prisoner was of unsound mind. The Surgeon said he knew of nothing to induco him to come to that belief. The prisoner had conducted himself in a quiet manner, but he had confined his speech to say ing in answer to every question put to hi-n—" I want some more beer." One of the warders of Newgate also said the prisoner, he believed, was merely assuming his present conduct. The learned Judge, addressing the jury, said it would be for them to say whether, after the evidence they had heard, tho prisoner VMS mute by malice. If so, ho could be dealt with in the ordinary way. The jury being of opinion that the prisoner was mute of malice, whereupon the prisoner was tried without pleading. The evidence was to the effect that on the 2nd of the month the prosecutor was walking down Fenchurck street, when theprisoner snatched away the watch and ran away. The police-constable on duty saw the theft committed, and pursued the prisoner, eventually securing him after he had run a considerable distance. Before, however, he took him into custody, prisoner throw the watch away, and when he was at the station, after the charge had been entered, he said he had merely done the trick for a lark. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. . . . A former conviction- having been proved against the prisoner, the learned judge sentenced him to seven years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGEACE.—Phis Day. MARL BORO 11G H-STREE T. HYDE PARK CHARGES. - There were but four charges from Hyde Park brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, and they were as follows : John Cane and Charles Fraser, two rough-looking fel lows, were charged with gambling in Hyde Park. Sergeant Edward Langley, of the detective police, said that about eight o'clock last night he was in Hyde Park, and - saw about a dozen persons playing at a game some what similar to roulette—a cover, painted similar to a roulette table and surrounded with horses, being placed on some boards, and there being in the centre a hand like that of a clock working on a pivot. Ho got the assistance of other officers, and as soon as the persons saw them coming they ran off, but he managed to secure Cane with the cover and board under his arm. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Sergeant Langley said that ho had seen Cane putting money down, saying at the same time 2 to 1 on a certain horse painted on oil cloth. Folic-constable Sawyer, 175, M., having given evidence against Fraser, Cane said that he had nothing to do with the table ; ho was given ono shilling by a man for taking it home. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the evidence did not go against the prisoner Fraser, and ho would be discharged. Whilst that Court existed the park would not be a nuisance to deceive people ; and as ho considered the prisoner Cane fell within the meaning of the Vagrant Act, he would be committed for six weeks with hard labour, and the gam bling implements would be destroyed. John Dunn was charged with stealing a silver watch, of the value of £2, from the person of a gentleman unknown. William Haywood, a young man in the employ of Mr.' Gilby, wine merchant, Oxford-street, proved seeing the prisoner reach over and take a gentleman's watch. The gentleman called out that his watch was gone, and the prisoner im mediately started off. 'Witness pursued him, and saw him throw down the tatch, and on being overtaken the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the witness had acted very well in the matter. Prisoner was remanded. Walter John Meacham was charged with stealing 3s. from the person'of G. Bath, in Hyde-park; and John Wilkins was charged with attempting to pick pockets, but as there were no prosecutor's in attendance they were dis charged. THAMES. DESERTING A WIFE AND FAMILY.—Joseph Smith, a chemist, aged 40, was brought up on a warrant, before Mr. 13urchatn, on a charge of running away, and leaving his and havi ng them c h argea bl e t o th e Poplar a a i n . d u l n i To o n. children, . . Dir. James Spratley, relieving officer, said the prisoner deserted his family on the 21st of March last, and they had been since maintained nt the charge of the ratepayers. The prisoner was formerly employed at the Chemical i l a ck"oYwick, and in the re ceipt\%orkosfi3nlls\.rahnitde Post -lane, week for a long time. The pri soner had twice deserted his wife and children previous to March, and he was directed by the Guardians of the Pop lar Union to ask for a conviction. Great numbers of men had deserted their wives and children, and the expenses to the Union had been considerable.

RACE BETWEEN KELLEY AND CHAMBERS. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Monday. The referee in the race for the championship was ap pointed on Saturday. The names of the gentlemen pro posed —Mr. Ireland, London, and Lieut. Colonel Hawks, Newcastle—were put into a hat. The name drawn was Mr. Ireland's, and that gentleman was accordingly agreed to. After the appointment the betting received a fresh impulse, and a good deal of business was done at evens. On Saturday and last night any amount of money was ready for Chambers ; in fact, at the sporting houses the disposition was so strong to support Chambers that his friends could hardly be accommodated. A large number of Kelley's backers arrived on Sunday and made• heavy books. The morning dawned with a clear sky and a soft and pleasant breeze. Although the start took place shortly after five a.m. the. number of spectators was unprecedented The betting this morning was even, and up till the start. money was laid freely on Chambers. Five o'clock had hardly chimed when Chambers put off, amid great cheer ing, and was quickly followed by Kelley, who was also well received. Both men looked well, Kelley especially whose colour was exceedingly fresh. A beautiful start was effected at 5.17, each getting well away, and without advantage. After the first hundred yards Kelley crept to the front, and made an attempt to steer clear and take Chatsbers'a water, in which he eventually succeeded, and went away with a tine spurt. At the top of the New Quay Kelley was three lengths in advance, but was neither pulling so steadily nor so coolly as Chambers, till he reached the half-distance, when he ;quietly settled down, and leaving Chambers still farther in the rear, went on easily, but at a great pace. Chambers Was lo idly sheared on pissing the Meadows, upon which he made a good spurt, slightly decreasing the distance. The cheers wore then redoubled ; but Kelly, responding to the cries of his friends, met the attempt in fine style, and again went ahead at a clipping rate. He was never passed, and came in the winner by upward's of 100 yards. Time 314 minutes. SHOCKING•ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE. NEWCASTLE, Monday Night. After the boat race a number of persons, calculated to bo about 100, while waiting on the Ferry Company's landing on the quay side for their passage by boat to Shields, were precipitated into the river by the giving way of the centre of the stage. Several bodies have been recovered, but it is thought that upwards of 20 persons have lost their lives by this awful calamity. MAMIE T S.—This day.

The Earl of DERBY said that, in answer to the right rev. prelate, he would state that a Royal Commission would issue relative to the question, but he thought that there were other violations of the rubric which would require a thorough investigation by a Royal Commission. The question of marriage was one which should engage their attention, and also the publication of banns and the place of celebration of marriage. He considered that on these grounds there ought to he the strictest investiga tion. Without laying before their lordships any question of religion he should propose that a Royal Com mission should take into consideration the points which he had just mentioned. The Earl of CARNARVON said that he trusted that his noble friend would by upon the table of the house a fuller detail of what he intended to bring in. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY was quite willing to agree with the proposition made by the noble earl at the head of the Government. The Bishop of DURHAM said that he had read all books connected with this movement of Ritualism, and that he trusted the whole matter would be thoroughly investigated into. The Bishop of LONDON was very glad that the scopa of the Commission was extended beyond the question of Ritualism, although that was most important. The Bishop of OXFORD said that he thanked the noble earl for what he had said about a royal commission, but he did not see the benefit of it when legislation had already taken place. He differed from his rev. brethren in thinking that the matter should be brought before a royal commission, but he hoped that as they had waited so long patiently the matter would now be thoroughly ven tilated. Several questions were then put to the noble earl (Lord Derty) whether he intended to alter the marriage service. Lord DERBY—He had no such intention, but he thought that there were several points which ought to be inquired into. The Archbishop of YORK thought the subject most im portant. - The Earl of SHAFTESBURY denounced the unsettling of men's minds by the introduction of these Ritualistic garments. He considered that the subject was of the most vital importance, and he should show it in the bill ho in tendod to introduce. The subject then dropped. THE VOLUNTEERS. Earl COWPER asked a question of the Earl of Derby as to the authority of Volunteers in the event of an out break amongst the populace, or such an affair as that down at Chester. The Earl of DERBY said that the• attention of the Legislature had been called to the question. ...._ . INCREASE OF TUE EPISCOPATE. Lord LYTTLETON movod the second reading of this bill, and stated that in doing so he was entirely supported by the Right Rev. Primate the Archbishop of Canterbury. The noble lord then enumerated the opinions of various commissions as to the creation of new sees, and stated that two of these had been carried out. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins EVENING.

THE FENIAN SENTENCES, Mr. GILPIN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if his attention had been called to the revolting character of the sentence on .the Fenian convicts, that in addition to the penalty of death by hanging, they are sentenced to be dragged on a hurdle to the place of execution, to he deca pitated, and to have their bodies divided into fourquarters and placed at the disposal of her Majesty and her advisers ; and if the law required the passing of such a sentence ; and, if so, he would take an early opportunity of amend ing the law in this respect? Lord NAAS said the sentence for treason in the words pronounced by judges at the recent trials of the Fenians was set down in the 24th of Geo 111., chap. 126. The Court had no option but to pass the sentence in the terms of the act. It was open to the Crown to mitigate the sen tence; and as no Government would order the execution of those found guilty of high treason in any way different from that of ordinary criminals, he did not think there was any necessity for any alteration of the law on that subject. THE REFORM BILL. Mr. F. GOLDSMID asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether it would not be the effect of the third clause of the Bill for Amending the Representation of the People to enable any number of joint occupiers who may be rated and pay the rates in respect of anyone house in a borough to be registered as electors; and whether this operation of the clause was in accordance with the inten tion of the Government ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not intended by the bill to allow any number of joint oc cupiers to be registered as electors. That, he apprehended, was not the effct of the clause as it stood in the bill. There was no habitation franchise, but a residential one, the rates being paid by the master of the house. If the hon. member thought otherwise it was quite competent for hint to raise the question at the proper time. LEITH FORT. Mr. MILLER asked the Secretary of State for War what quantity of gunpowder was at present stored in Leith Fort; and what progress had been made for the promised conversion of Blackness Castle into a store house fot the powder at present in Leith Fort, and when it was probable the transference might be made ? Sir J. PAKINUTON said the quantity of gunpowder at present i❑ Leith Fort would amount to 250 barrels. With regard to Blackness Fort., as the vote was taken for its conversion, and the necessary alterations were com pleted, the gunpowder would at once be removed from Leith Fort. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Li reply to nn Hox. MEMBER, Lord It. MONTAGUE said the cattle plague unfortu nately still existed in Franconia, Belgium, Switzerland, and other places, and therefore the most stringent regula tions were still necessary to be made in this country. THE ROYAL PARKS BILL. In reply to an Iron. Member, Mr. WALPOLE said the bill stood for second reading on Thursday neat. HYDE PARK. Mr. LOWE hopediherWthontgentleman the Secre tary for the Home Department would allow him to put a question. An opinion had been published in the papers wit h respect to the admission of the public to Hyde Park, signed by Sir H. Cairns and Sir W. Bovill ; it was dated July, 1866. Now what he wished to know was whether that opinion was in the possession of the Govern ment before the riot which took place in Hyde Park in July of last year. dates he Mr. WALPOLE said as it was a question of _ would postpone answering the question until Thursday. THE REFORA BILL. _ _ In reply to Mr. GLADSTONE, The CH of the EXCIIEQTJER said he H would wore fully explain the nature of the a mendments he had on the paper to be made to the 34th clause, with respect to compound householders, THE IRISH CHURCH-. Sir G. GREY then brought forward his resolution, C en h te ur r e e h d viz.—That the house will, on a certain day, resolve itself on Thursday next, into a committee to consider the temporalities and privi leges of the Established Church in Ireland..
