NONE/ MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is very little business in the discount market to-day, the supplies of paper on offer being too limited to absorb more than a small proportion of the available balances. The rates consequently continue ys:ry easy, and a few choice bills are taken as low as 3,-1- per cent. It naturally follows that the inquiris at the Bank of England are of a re strice 1 cliaractr. Notice has been given that the A gra Bank (Li mited) will commence to-day at 35, Nicholas-lane, L-mi bard - street. The Cuba has arrived from New York with £78,000 in specie. On Saturday there was an influx of £6,000 in bar gold at the Bank of England, and a withdrawal of 10,000 sovereigns for Alexandria. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are firm at 54 56, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 411 42. From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week have been of a rather gloomy character. Very little business has been done in most departments, owing to the late severe weather, and the general indisposition shown by both shippers and manufacturers to enter into fresh engagements until the year is farther advanced. Cloths and yarns at Manchester have been a shade cheaper; while at Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield the chief inquiry has been for spring goods; the deal ings, however, have only been to a limited extent. More activity has prevailed in the lace and hosiery departments of Nottingham and Leicester ; while at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been little change of importance in most of the principal branches of manufactures carried on. Two o'CLocr. It cannot be said that much activity prevails in the markets for stocks and shares, but a steady and a healthful business is in progress. No attempt is made to foist upon the public ephemeral schemes, nor is there any extensive range of " bull" or " bear" operations. Steady investments are made, and these give solidity to values. It is known that many undertakings aro ready for introduction to the public, but promoters and directors are " biding their time," being fully aware of the doubtful floating of Joint Stock enter prise after the extraordinary events that occurred last year. Consols, in the forenoon, were a little flatter, but they are now very strong at 901 a for money and the 10th instant, and at 904 for the February settlement. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 89P. 90; Bank of Eng land Stock, 248 ; India 5 per Cents., 107*1 ; ditto 4 per Cent. Bonds, 255. to 30s. prem. In the corn market to-day the attendance was not very extensive, and business generally remained very quiet without any material change in prices. In the Foreign Department of the Stock Ex change there has been very little dealing, but prices are slightly improved. Turkish 5 per Cents. have advanced -I, to 321, 33 ; Mexican, a, to 18, Greek, a, to 144, ; and Spanish Passive, Ito 211 ; the Certificates remain firm, at 14a; 4 ; and Italian at 33+, f. The New Russian Loan Scrip has advanced to prem. In the Railway Share Market there is not much animation. Great Eastern, London, Chatham, and Dover, North Western, and Metropolitan have each declined ; while South Eastern have improved and Great Western 4. The Foreign and Colonial lines chew little varia tion of importance. Great Luxembourg are marked 13 ; West Flanders 7j ; Great Western of Canada 12i 13 ; Grand Trunk of Canada 201 ; and East ludian 106 Bank Shares arc at steady rates. Imperial Otto man have improved to Si 9 ; London and County to 63 ; Chartered Mercantile of India, London, and China to 33 334. Miscellaneous and Finance Shares have been in fair demand, and prices have tended upwards. 111“18on's Bay Company have improved to 16i ; Egyptian Trading Company to 5 5 ; Crystal Palace Stock to 30 31 ; National Discount Com pany are heavy at 141 I. There is very little change in American securi ties. United States 5-20 Bonds have declined to 721 73, while Erie Shares remain at 454 46; ; and Illinois at 814 82k. MINING MARKET.

The calendar contains the names of 47 prisoners fur trial. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, briefly re ferred to the offences enumerated in the calendar, the prin ciple of which is that of manslaughter against two men, Wilmot and Chaney, for causing the deaths of three per sons on the Metropolitan Railway by the failing of a girder, the facts of which are so generally known. _ _ The grand jury having returned to their room, the busi ness of the session 'emnmencod very shortly afterwards. FORGERY. Francis William Stevens, remanded from last session, standing indicted for that he, with intent to defraud, feloni ously obtained from William Leaf and others the sum of £l6 by means of a forged and altered instrument, ho well knowing the same to be forged. Tho prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to six years' penal servitude. THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY ROBBERIES. Henry ducal°, the man charged with receiving a large quantity of property stolen from tho Great Eastern Rail way Company, was brought up for sentence. He pleaded guilty to the numerous indictments against him last session, and sentence was deferred in order to give him an oppportunity of giving such information to the prosecu tors as he might feel disposed. On being placed in the dock this morning, the Recorder sentenced him to 10 years' penal servitude. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A TRAVELLER. James Yates pleaded guilty to several indictments charging him with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employers, Messrs. Koano and Bellville, mustard dealers. The prisoner was at the discovery of the frauds in the service of the prosecutors as traveller, at a salary of £2OO and £1 per day travelling expenses. His duty was to re ceive orders and collect accounts, and to transmit them to his employers once a month. He had been in the service of Messrs. Keane some time, when, meeting with an acci dent, he then told hit employers that ho laad been guilty of embezzling money that should have been paid to them to the amount of £715. On an examination of the prisoner's accounts it was found that his deficiencies amounted to over £l,OOO, and, as the Messrs. Keane's was a very large establishment it was thought necessary that an ex ample should be made to doter others from following in the same dishonest way. The prosecutors had suffered very severely from the dishonesty of their servants. The Recorder said it was a very bad case. The salary he received was very considerable, and it was only given to persons in whom trust and confidence was reposed. He had abused that trust and he felt that the punishment must be a severe ono. He, therefore, sentenced the prisoner to five years' penal servitude. Arrivals at the Zoological Gardens. There have been few arrivals of late, for donors abroad generally contrive that the specimens they transmit should not reach England in midwinter. A South African baboon (Cynocephalus porcarius) may be mentioned, and two or three of the commoner monkeys ; also a few birds of no particular note, as one of the Australian "piping crows," as they are commonly designated. The latter compose an easily recognisable group of birds, with which most visitors to the gardens must be familiar. They aro not crows at all, nor are they magpies (as some times denominated), and as little are they connected by immediate affinity with the family of shrikes, to which some systematists refer them. They constitute, rather, to all intents and purposes, a distinct group by themselves, which is . peculiar to the Australian region, and which divides into three well-marked genera, one of them being distinguished by having a strong hook at the extremity of the bill, and by highly predatory habits, but great variety in the form of the bill occurs in most natural groups among the passerine birds, and the shrike-like modification of that organ, accompanied by a strong predatory propensity, is found again'and again, in widely different natural sub groups, that have little else in common. In general, the birds now under consideration have a remarkably flute-like tone of voice, and rapid utterance of a confused jumble of notes, not at all suggestive of either one of the particular affinities refer ed to. Ono species (Cymnorhina organi cunt) is described by Mr. Gould to pour forth, when perched on the dead branches of the tree soon after day break, a succession of notes of the strangest description that can be imagined, much resembling the sounds of a hand-organ out of tune, which has obtained for it the colonial name of organ-bird, It is very easily tamed ; and as it possesses the power of imitation in an extraordinary degree, it may be readily taught t o whistle various tunes, as well as to articulate words. It consequently soon becomes a most amusing as well as an ornamental bird for the aviary or cage. Most of the species are peculiar to Australia proper, and, as the same naturalist remarks, they are chiefly confined to the southern portion of that island continent, their geographical range being limited to the country comprised between the 25th and 40th degrees of south latitude, and their great stronghold being the most southern portion of Australia, the islands in Bass's Straits, and Tasmania According to Mr. Gould, the birds of this group seek their food in or near the ground, sometimes in swampy situation& and oven on the sea shore ; at others on the most sterile plains, far distant from water. Grasshop pers and insects of every order are eaten by them with avi dity, and to these grain -seeds and fruit are frequently added. They hop with remarkable agility over the broken surface of the ground, and leap from branch to branch with great alacrity. Their flight is feeble, and they seldom mount high in the air, except for the purpose of crossing a gully, or for passing from one part of the forest to another, and then merely just over the tops of the trees ; during flight they usually utter a peculiar shrill cry, which is fre quently repeated and answered by other birds of the same troop, for they mostly flit about in small companies of from four to six in number, apparently the parents and their offspring of the year. All the species occasionally descend to the cultivated grounds, orchards, and gardens of the settlers, and commit considerable havoc among their fruits and grain. They usually build open, cup-shaped nests, and the eggs are generally three, but are sometimes four, in number. As observed in captivity these birds remind us of the starling family more than that of the crows and magpies ; except in the instance of the more shrike-like genus (Cracticus), which is less terrone in its habits, and predacious in a very high degree. Different species of the group are rather numerously imported into this country, and are therefore commonly to be had from the dealers. Land and Water.

For the time of year there was a full average supply of foreign stock on sale here to-day, in but middling condi tion. The demand ruled heavy, on easier terms. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were moderately good. The supply from Scot land was rather extensive ; from Ireland, limited. Nearly all breeds appeared in full average weight. The demand was in a very inactive state, at a decline in the quotations compared with Monday last of 2d. per 81bs. The primest Scots and crosses sold at ss. 4d. to ss. 6d. per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1,100 Scots, short horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, including Lincolnshire, 1,000 various breeds from Scotland, 418 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland 50 oxen, cows, and heifers. Tho show of sheep was only moderate, but the quality of most breeds was good. A few really superior Downs and crosses realised 6s. 2d. to, in some instances, 6s. 4d. per 81bs ; but nearly all long-woolled sheep declined 2d. per 81bs. _ Although the supply of calves was limited, the veal trade was heavy, and prices gave way 4d. per Ribs. The top figure was ss. 6d. per Blbs. Prime small pigs were steady in price, but largo pigs were very dull, at late rates.

(From the Correspondent of the Morning Post.) WINCHESTER, Saturday. The history of the wonderful will never cease. Some two months ago, our readers will remember that we published a circumstantial account, mainly compiled from the Australian papers just then re ceived, of the almost incredible adventures attri buted to the long-lost heir of the I ichborne family —a family whose estates in Hampshire have been handed down from generation to generation from a period 200 years antecedent to the Norman Con quest. Sir Roger Charles Tieliborne, the "hero" in this romantic tale, had been educated on the Con tinent. In the French capital his mind, influenced by association and long absence from home, bad become imbued with ideas of unrestrained freedom of action. Repudiating the wholesome curb which paternal care would have applied to protect him from the foibles of youth, Sir Roger suddenly left his father's mansion near Alresford, now 13 years ago, expressing a fixed determination never to re turn—or, at least, during the lifetime of the late Sir Francis Doughty Tichborne, his father. A short time afterwards news was brought to England that the Bella, the ship in which Sir Roger had sailed for America, was wrecked, and all on board had perished. A passing vessel had seen the wreck keel uppermost. From that time till recently no intelligence has been received, and the account before referred to as published in our columns supplies the first link in " this strange, eventful history." Since this period, however, exciting accounts have been constantly pouring into this country. Every mail has contributed to swell the mystery. The receipt of a portrait from Australia by Lady Doughty, the mother of Sir Roger, fanned curiosity to the utmost. Yet neither that lady nor any of her friends were able to trace the faintest resem blance in the photograph with the features of the missing gentleman. But corroborative evidence was not wanting. Im mediately afterwards a letter, dated from Sydney last August, was received by Lady Doughty from a black man named Andrew Bogle, an old servant of the family, one who enjoys a pension of 150 a-year settled on him by his master, the late Sir Edward Doughty, uncle of Sir Roger. Now, Lady Doughty has always entertained the belief that Sir Roger was still alive, although no letter had been received from him for 13 years. Bogle's communication was to the following effect :—That he had, in Australia, met with the nephew of his old master ; that he had married, and was about to come to England with his wife and child ; that he (Bogle) should come over with them, and that Sir Roger, immediately upon his arrival in England, would proceed to Paris to meet his mother. _ _ Such a communication as this, added to the steady belief of the mother, could not fail to give rise to the most profound emotions. Lady Doughty was actu ally in Paris at the time, and remains there still. Influenced, no doubt, by her strong maternal feel ings and the apparent truth of the whole history, she forwarded £4OO to Australia to provide them with the means of procuring a passage to England. The foregoing outline is necessary to lay the mat ter comprehensively before the public. Wild ru mours have appeared in the columns of some of the daily journals. It is stated positively that Sir Roger Tichborne has arrived, but our readers must judge for themselves upon the question at issue. We shall now carefully narrate the grounds, as far as we have been able to ascertain them, which have led to this conclusion. A gentleman arrived on the 28th of December last at the Swan Hotel, Airesford, which is situated in the immediate neighbourhood of the estates. He appeared anxious to avoid all in tercourse with the other guests of the establish ment, hired private apartments, and received letters addres.sed to " Mr. Taylor." On Monday last a black man arrived at the same house, having come by the last train from London. The appearance of a man of colour is sufficient at any time to cause considerable curiosity to be felt in this little town ; but it may easily be conjectured how much that curiosity was increased when the black visitor was immediately recognised as the old pensioner of the family— Andrew Bogle. Whatever doubt surrounds this mysterious affair, this much may be relied on-- the old black servant is once more in England. The news spread like wild-fire, not only in Airesford, but throughout Hampshire, and when it was also added that the tall recluse was Sir Roger Tichborne, friends from all parts flocked to the place either to satisfy curiosity, or to tender their congratulations to the returned heir ; but he avoided their presence. The hostelry was literally besieged. Andrew Bogle was communicative, and in reply to the numberless queries addressed to him by inquisitive guests he stated that he had met with Sir Roger in Sydney ; had accompanied him, with his wife and child and "secretary," to Panama, where they remained a month ; thence to New York, where they Epent another month ; finally arriving at the Victoria Docks on the morning of Christmas-day. He as serted that Sir R. Tichborne was at Ford's Hotel, Manchester-square, London, and that he would ar rive in Hampshire on Thursday or Friday last, de clining to acknowledge any acquaintance with the gentleman who had previously arrived at the hotel in Alresford. In the meantime, however, the agent who manages the estate in the interests of Lady Alfred Tichborne and her son (the present occupants of the estate) managed to obtain an interview with the newly-arrived visitor. The result of this meet ing must have been anything but agreeable to the news-seeking gentleman. Not only did the visi tor declare himself to be Sir Roger Charles Tichborne, but, alluding to a sale which took place at Tichborne in 1862, and which included some fixtures belonging to the mansion, hinted that the person (the auditor) who directed that sale might possibly be held legally responsible for the act. Bogle left Airesford by rail last Tuesday night, and the mysterious gentleman also whom he had declined to acknowledge as his master's nephew. Inquiries, it is understood, were made at Ford's Hotel last Thursday, when it was stated that letters had been delivered there addressed to Sir Roger Tichborne, but that he had not then ar rived, though a gentleman named Butt (presumed to be the " secretary") was at the hotel ; and, iu addition, it was stated that Sir Roger, with his wife and child, were gone to the Clarendon Hotel, Gravesend, where they were expected at noon, but they had not arrived there at five o'clock. Pos sibly this may be accounted for by the exceedingly inclement state of the weather. Such are the facts of this mysterious case. Few persons who knew Sir Roger before his departure have had an opportunity of seeing him or his " re presentative" since his return, and those who have, as might be expected, differ in their statements re specting him. Some allege ho is the veritable " Simon Pure," others cannot believe that he is. Of course, in a case like this, there are various in terests to warp the judgment ; but it is bard to conceive how a young gentleman, slim in growth, of a delicate constitution, and scarcely able to speak English, should leave this country when it may be presumed he had attained full growth, and was then about five feet four or five inches in height, and should return to it a stout young fellow of five feet eight or nine inches. Change of climate and long residence abroad may account for much, but scarcely for this growth of stature. It will be difficult to form a satisfactory decision in this interesting inquiry. All that appears cer tain is this, that there is in this country a pretender to the estates of Tichborne whose claims are supported by an old servant of the family, one who ought to be, and it is believed that be is, attached to that family by gratitude kindled by the presentation of numerous and substantial favours. It may require the assistance of the heads of the legal profession to unravel the web, but there can be no question that justice will eventually be done; and if the new corner be no impostor, there are hundreds who can recognise him, and are ready to welcome him to his long-deserted home. The quotation oi gold at Peril is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.17} per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint prioe of Li 1713.100. per ounce for standard gold, it appeas that gold is spout the same price in London and Paris.

" Savo me from my friends" is a very trite axiom, and fully exemplified in the following communication with which Admiral Rous has supplemented his letter of last week concerning the " Soiled Dove" case : Sit,—On the subject of Soiled Dove, permit me to cor rect un error. 1 had imagined that, owing to this filly being trained in Belgium, she was foaled out of the United Kingdom. Of this fact there is no proof. My remark, therefore, that the " 15th Rule demands a certificate" may be misplaced. The Keeper of the Match Book objected to receive Mr. R. Boyce's entry of Soiled Dove in the Maiden Two Year Old Plate, First Spring meeting, "out of a mare, pedigree unknown," without further identification ; but he accepted the nomination in the Selling Stakes, with the addition of " bought of Mr. R. Arnold, of Rugby." I am bound to make this explanation in justice to Mr. Weatherby.—l am, sir, yours truly, IL J. Rocs. Jan. 2, 1867. P.S.—ln my last letter, " purchase" was a misprint. It meant Purchase, by Vedette. Our celebrated Draco now modifies part of his pre viously expressed opinion by saying that as there is no proof of this filly being foaled out of the United Kingdom, his remark, that the 'lsth Rule demanded a certificate' may be misplaced. In which case so also are the observations made by mo in your last week's publication concerning the 16th rule, but surely Mr. Marson can throw some light on the matter. I can only say, however, the more consi deration I give the matter the more satisfied i am of the injustice the Admiral's decision concerning the bets will do to Mr. Chaplin, Captain Machell, and the public backers of the animal in question, provided she was foalei abroad, as it is a libel on common sense to inflict a loss of thousands of pounds on several of the parties concerned, through what in that case is nothing but gross negligence of the Jockey Club or their officials. My argument, of course, entirely depends upon where the animal was foaled as if it was in this country, the 13th rule was complied with, and I think Mr. Weatherby in that case acted wisely in refusing the nomination to the Maiden Two-Year-Old Plato, " out of a mare, pedigree unknown," and was quite justified in accepting one for the Selling Stakes, with the addition of " bought of Mr. R. Arnold, of Rugby." It appears, from the statement of a contemporary— " Admiral Rous attended at Tattersall's on Monday last, in the hope of being able to make up a quorum to adjudi cate upon the bets in this case ; but there was not a suffi cient number of the committee present. This is greatly to be regretted, as it is important that the matter should be settled without further delay. To my thinking it is equally important to institute the fullest inquiry before any decision is arrived at, and I hope on the next occasion the Admiral will not only be assisted by the quorum in question, but a full number of the committee, who will first take care to ascertain in what country " Soiled Dove" was foaled, and be guided in their decision by that fact. I have the highest respect for Ad miral Rous; but his judgment is not infallible, and mine, certainly disinterested, is at wide variance with his • (always in case the filly is a foreigner) on this subject. Thereupon Rule 16 is ignored by the Jockey Club, through whose officials' lax method of taking the entry in this in stance, to which that rule applies, Mr. Chaplin is a severe sufferer, and rule 17, made by the same authorities, strictly enforced with all its pains and penalties.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled firm, and prices advanced ls., in some in stances 25., per quarter. In the demand for spring corn, however, there was a want of activity, yet previous quo tations were, in most instances, supported. Tho flour trado ruled firm at full currencies. On the Continent, the wheat trade is firm, and prices have an upward tendency. The value of spring corn is well u'aintained. The supplies of wheat at New York continue to increase, and prices are steadily giving way. The arrivals of English grain, itc., up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad con sisted of 26,866 quarters of wlieot, 20,.172 barley, 29,319 oats, 1,032 rye, 3,011 beans, 10,729 peas, 2,018 linseed, 5,911,' rapeseed, 2,327 maize, 1,186 sacks and 792 barrels of flour.

A RACKET MATCH FOR 11000. —Large stakes seem on the increase in sporting circles, for we see it stated in Bell's Lifit in London that Mr. W. Gray, of Dublin (the challenger), and Mr. R. Foulkes, of New York, have made a match to play at rackets for the above sum, and that £1.25 a-side has already boon deposited in the hands of our contemporary as stakeholder. This contest will no doubt excite considerable interest in both hemispheres, espe cially amongst our American cousins, who appear nothing loth to try their skill against all comers from the old country. The Standard gives the following translation from the .tlioniteur :—‘, The year which has just ended has been marked by great events, and although it has been cairn and pacific, the influence of the policy of France has not been inactive nor ineffectual. By the mere strength of his moral ascendancy the Emperor has powerfully contributed to the re storation of peace in Europe, and the nations who h a d selected him as arbiter have ackno w led ge d the fiv ec n e n t soo n .co a i n h d a h of he disinterestedbeenslvsrauarcigy h at but character period have become f o o o et \ y v d h e, d i n e h bi , bnetneer e xa e l t n e e d r a w d l nf p a fication. In Germany the errors o f 1815 h ave been replaced by new ideas. All th e G erman i c con n tries now understand the importa nc e of a g ood under standing with France. Distrust has been dispelled, and prejudices of another epoch are vanishing before a wholesome appreciation of common interests. Austria and Italy, so long and so profoundly divided, have arrived at a definitive reconciliation ; the programme inaugurated by the victories of Magenta and Solferino is now realised. Free from the Alps to the Adriatic, the Peninsula, after having been for centuries a subject of trouble and compe- rf h iee a h t a g- compe tition between the various Powers, is henceforth an clement of concord and equilibrium. The Conven tion of September 15, so happily carried out, has already produced the salutary results which had been expected from it, and there is no illusion in entertaining a hope that a reapprocheme nt may at no distant date take place between the Courts of Rome and Italy. The evacuation of Mexico is being effected under favourable conditions, and the United States evince an equal desire with France to draw closer the bonds of traditional friendship. The relations of the Emperor's Government with all the Foreign Powers could not be more satisfactory or more friendly. The year 1867 is usherel in under favour able auspices, and the nations which are to rendez vous at the Paris Universal Exhibition are preparing for that pacific contest with ides of progress and solidarity." 20 et st 100
