MONEY MARKET AND coantr.Eßol;v4L I'4T. LLIGANCX, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Continued easiness is exhibited in the Discount Market to-day, and commercial bills are very scarce, e3pecially those of six months' date. The operations reported at the Bank, as well as in other quarters, are altogether much below the average at this sea son of the year. The sum of £64,000 was taken from the Bank of England. Tenders were opened yesterday by the Crown agents for the colonies for £65,500 Natal Govern ment 6 per Cent. Debentures. The applications amounted altogether to £129,200, of which £26,300, being at and above the minimum, wore ae3epted in full, and it is understood that the balance was sub sequently disposed of at the minimum price of 951. Atlantic and Gnat Western Railway Deben tures have declined 1, to 49 51, but tht; Consoli dated Mortgage Bonds are unaltered, at 361, to 374- ex coupon. At . a meeting held to-day of the shareholders of the National Discount Company the directors reported that the paid-up capital on December 31 amounted to £698,940, and the reserve fund to £398,940. The results of the business for the past half-year showed a gross profit of £130,232, and after pro viding for the current expenditure, directors' and auditors' remuneration, making ample provision for bad and doubtful debts, and reserving £136 17s. 3d. towards redemption of premises, and £42,174 2s. sd. for rebate of interest on bills not yet due, there remained, with the sum of £3,633 Is. Id. brought forward from the previous half-year, an available balance of £77,772 10s. 11d. This enabled the directors to declare a dividend at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, upon old and new capital, and to carry forward £9,527 10s. 11d. to the next account. At a Meeting of several large shareholders of the Bank of London, holding upwards of 10,000 shares, held at the London Tavern this day, resolutions were unanimously passed, having for their object an independent investigation of the present position of the affairs of the Bank by Mr. David Chadwick of the firm of Chadwick, Adamson, M‘lienna, and Co., 40, Old Broad-street, London, with the view of resuscitating the Bank. A committee of share holders was appointed to confer with the official liquidator of the bank, and it is understood that Mr. Chadwick will proceed with his investigation as early as practicable, and report to the shareholders at a general meeting to be called for the purpose. We have received the following from the Belgian Public Works Company (Limited) : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUL London, E.C., Jan. 22, 1867. Sir,-1 am instructed by the directors to request your insertion of the following. W. L. HERIOT, SOC. "Belgian Public Works Company (Limited).

Affairs at the Stock Exchange are quietly good. There is no life in any department, although a fey/ favourite securities give rise to a moderate number of bargains. Speculators seem to be waiting for some new and important event connected with money or politics before they engage in large trans actions. Perhaps the assembling of Parliament Will inaugurate a different state of things; mean - While, however, dealings are restricted, and the changes in market values merely fractional. The Funds are slightly heavy, as much from the Paucity of business as anything else, though the state of the Bourse and some of the continental ad vices are not regarded in a very encouraging light. Consols are 901 for money, and 90 I for the ac count.

The Nacion Argentine, the official organ of the Argentine Government, publishes a letter from its own correspondent at the seat of war, which throws a light upon the actual condition of the allies, and needs no comment to be intelligible : Corrientes, Nov. 21. Two days ago I came from Curuzu, and to-morrow I return thither. I believe the Brazilians are going to eva cuate the place, as proposed to the Marquis Caxias by Baron Port Alegre, who returns to Brazil to-morrow in the Presidente. On the 19th the Paraguayans bombarded Curuzu, causing some losses to the Brazilians. The fleet replied until the enemy's fire slackened. The Marques Caxias went first to Polidoro's encamp ment, then to visit Gen. Mitre, and to-clay ho is at Curuzu. Mitre and Cax t las are said to be entirely of accord as to the most speedy and honourable way of ending the war. Hitherto the success of Lopez has resulted chiefly from the dissensions of the allied Generals, but now things seem likely to mend, although I have not much faith in this either. The Greenhaigh has come in to-day from Curuzu and reports a Paraguayan Major passed over to us who says Lopez's army is quite dispirited. I do not believe it. I have seen the Paraguayans fall under a shower of shot and shell, crying with their last breath "Viva Lopez!" I have seen them treated with every kindness in our hospitals and still refuse to say " Muera Lopez !" I have seen them refuse to know their dearest relatives because enrolled in our service ; I frankly believe the war has hardly yet begun, and blood must flow like water ere the allied banners float over Asuncion. There is much talk here of future operations; it is all "bosh." Nothing can be attempted before February, and the barriers of Curupaity and Tuyuty can never be surmounted by our troops, because they are beyond human skill and valour. It should bo the study of our Generals to change the tactics, and as far as possible render useless the immense military works of the enemy, instead of exposing our mon to their deadly bullets, and piling up still higher the pyra mid of our dead before their fatal breast-works. It is a fact that up to the present the allies have pushed forward the campaign by the very route that best suited the enemy. There aro many sides on which Paraguay is vulnerable; lot us lead our troops by some of them and got out of the reach of Lopez's impregnable trenches, woods and marshes. I learn that Tamandaro remains in command of the fleet till his successor arrive from Rio Janeyro ; Barroso and Elizario both declined the command; the former proceeds in the Amazonas to Montevideo, to form there a reserve flotilla. The Marques Caxias says he finds things at head quarters not at all so bad as is believed in Rio Janoyro. I hope 1 10 will be able to do something, but, really, I prefer waiting for deeds instead of promises. We have also details of the fearful extent of the irruption of Indians at several points of the Argen tine provinces. At Rio Quarto they murdered 50 Christians in cold blood, and carried off from 80 to 100 women into captivity. At Frayle Muerto they perpetrated frightful atrocities, and carried off many of the inhabitants. The gravity of the' disaster was so great that the Minister of War whose presence in the capital was so necessary, in the absence of the President at the seat of War, and more especially in face of the new complica tions and arrangements required by the revolution in the province of Mendoza, proceeded personally to the Rio Quarto. TILE" TICHBORNE BARONETCY.—Mr. J. Holmes , of 25, Poull ry, London, solicitor for Sir R. C. D. Tichborno, Bart., in a letter to the Morning Post, says:—" So many vague statements having appeared in the press with refe rence to Sir Roger Tichborne, I think it right to inform you that I accompanied him and another gentleman to Paris on the 10th inst., where his mother, the Dowager Lady James Doughty-Tichborne, instantly recognised and acknowledged Sir Roger as her son, and has spent the last ten days with him. I only returned yesterday (Monday) evening, and have brought with mo the necessary declara tions for Sir Roger's identity, taken at the British Embassy, in his presence and that of her ladyship and the two most distinguished English physicians in Paris. Acting under the advice of counsel, Sir Roger will now take the requisite steps to obtain possession of his estates."

At the delegate meeting to be held this evening ma ny trades, from which delegates did not attend last week's meeting, will be represented. Already, owing to the plan of systematic organisation adopted by the Reform League, the branches are forming themselves into district commit. tees for arranging local practical details preparatory to the demonstration.

(Sittings hi Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, and Justices Mellor, Blackburn, and Lush.) BRYANT Y. HOOD-JUDGMENT. Mr. Justice Mellor delivered judgment in this case, which has been argued at great length, and with much learning and ability, before their lordships, and which is very important as raising the rexata questio as to what con stitutes a legal right under the construction of immemorial usage. His lordship said that the question which the Court had to decide was whether a sum of 13s. 61 claimed by the rector of the parish of ll.)rton, in Bucks, being 10s. for hinise'f, and 3s. Gd. for the vestry clerk, for the per formance of marriage, was legal or not, and on the non payment of which ho refused to perform tho ceremony. The plaintiff then brought an action against him, and the matter was referred to arbitration, and a decision given in his behalf, from which an appeal was now made. It was argued in support of the defendant that the payment of the sum in question existed from 1808, and that according to law the inference was that it was from time immemorial, or from the time of Richard I. Having cited a decision in the Court of Exchequer adverse to that view as well as the dicta of Lord Tenterden and Lord Campbell, in addition to certain cases which elicited these opinions, the learned judge said that Horton was a parish consisting of rural labourers, and that 13s. 6d. was a largo sum to pay even in those days for that class when the wages of agricultural labourers were so very low. How much greater must the money value of that amount have been in the reign of Richard the First, considering the difference that existed between that time, when a cow could have been purchased for 45., a sow for 10d., a boar for 12d., and so on, and the present. It had been held by high authorities on this subject that the rankness or excess of an amount claimed under prescrip tion destroyed its antiquity, for it could not be reasonably supposed that persona would have been required to pay sums of a preposterous extent. Ho felt bound, under the circumstances, to decide in favour of the plaintiff. Mr. Justice Blackburn differed from the learned judge and considered that the existenze of the usage in reference to the payment of the money in question constituted it as being legally of immemorial usage. The argument arising from the rankness of the amount he regarded as invalid, and in this opinion ho was sustained by very learned authorities. In the time of Richard the First the facilities for performing the marriage ceremony were in all probability comparatively rare, therefore a higher price was charged for the celebration of the ceremony. He must decide in favour of the defendant. The Lord Chief Justice, in the course of a very elaborate judgment, concurred with Mr. Justice Mellor, and took occasion to refer to the very unsatisfactory state in reference to legal rights founded on prescription. Mr. Justice Lush agreed with the Lord Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Mellor. The judgment of the Court was accordingly in favour o: the plaintiff. LAWRMICE V. FITCH. The Lord Chief Justice said that the decision in the pro vious case governed this as to the questiun of immemoria usage. _ Mr. Justice Blackburn said that of course he must be governed by the ruling of the Court, but he was also in favour of the decision on the merits of the case, which had reference to a right claimed to demand the shilling toll on a donkey cart of vegetables. Taking into account the dif ference of value in money in modern and ancient times such a toll would have been impossible. POLICE INTELLIGESCE.—This Day. MARLBOUOUGH-STREET. THE EFFECT OF THE WEATHER.--JOSSO Dunn, a cab driver, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and incapable of driving. Police-constable 54 E stated that on the previous Evening he saw the defendant on a cab near the Regent-circus. The defendant had lost all control over the horse, which went on the pavement. There were two ladies in the cab, and they got out and took another cab. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the constable how it was the defen dant had lost the control of his horse. The constable said the defendant was drunk. He took the defendant to the station, and the defendant there said that it was the coldness of the weather which had caused him to lose the control of the horse. Tho defendant said that ho was very cold at the time. Ho had had only one glass of ale, and had no dinner. The constable stated that the ladies told him that the defendant appeared quite sober when they engaged him. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the worst part of the case was that the defendant was on duty ai the time. Ho should fine the defendant ss. While the poor fellow was at the bar he appeared so like a person under the effect of drink that the constable was asked if he was sober. The constable said ho appeared then, as he did last evening, in a state of semi-stupor. It being stated by the gaoler shortly afterwards that the man was very ill, Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered him some refreshments and that ho should be sent home in a cab. SHARE MA RKE TS. This day.

THE CALAMITY IN THE PARS.-A bricklayer's labourer, named John O'Donnell, attended before Mr. D'Eyncourt and made the following statement : He said—On the occasion of the accident he brought out eight persons alive. The first six when ho got them to the bank NI ere hurried away, and he saw no more of them, as they were hurried away by the icemen and others. The last two ho got out were brothers, residing in Rodolph street, Camden Town, and they had presented him with half a sovereign, When ho got them out one was almost dead. public-house, Mr. D'Ey ncour t as k e d w h at h e did un d er suc h circum stances ?...

He rubbed the ears of the insensible one and shook him, and then took them home in a cab. He hoped if this was published the other six would come forward and recognise him. Mr. D'Eyncourt asked if he could swim. Applicant said he could well, but there was no chance. t what made him shako so ?

They would give him a bronze medal, and that was no use, as it would not give his children victuals. IL had been froze out by the weathor. Ho had work to go to directly after the frost had gone. Ile had left morning after morning with only a bit of dry bread and a drop of coffee to seek for a job at anything. My children have had to fare the same. When at Liver pool he saved 11 lives, and then did not ask for a medal. Mr. Young, the secretary of the Royal Humane Society, said every attention would be paid to his claim. Maybank, 270 S, said ho baw him in the water. It may bo mentioned, in addition to the above, that the applicant has partly lost the use of his right side through his efforts. Mr. D'Eyneourt granted him two guineas from the poor-box. ANOTHER CASE. —ln this case applicant said he threw off Lis coat, hat, and boots, and left them on the bank.

They had given him nothing to compensate him. The poor man had g i ven him Mr. IYEyncourt said he could do nothing kir him. lie must lay his claim before the society, and they would see to it. WESTMINSTER. EXTENSIVE AND SYSTEMATIC ROBBEDX.—John Clarke, a baker, was placed at the bar charged with robbery. Mr. Stephen Bescoe, a baker, living at 9, Queen's-row, Piinlico, said that prisoner was ono of his men . T or some weeks past he had been missing a great quantity of flour, and the losses so increased that he appli e d t o t h e police station for the aid of a detective, as ho did not know out of the number of hands whom he employed who to suspect. This morning the prisoner was det ec t e d with a bag of flour in his possession, which had been previously marked by direction of the police. prisoner said G eorge Epsom, a detective of the B di v i s i on, said he watched prisoner this mor ning from his master's premiss into a publiohouse. lie t hen told him that his m as t er o id ho would come di rect l y after wantedul h N bins fetc to iedhls barrow.

Mr. Arnold—What were his wages Preseeutor—l gave him a guinea week, and nearly all his food. This has been going ou for a long time, and it is very bad where a man has many people employed about him. Mr. Arnold remanded the prisoner. ThAMES. THE DISTRESS IN POPLAR.—NUMEROUS ROBBERIES.— George Bass and Frederick Lawrence, who gave the namo of Bingley, last night were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing 3911b5. of load piping, the property of some person or persons unknown. George Coucher, a Thames police-constable, No. 99, stated that at half-past six o'clock yesterday evening he was on duty on the Polly-wharf, in the isle of Dogs, Poplar, with another constable, and saw tho prisoners with another man pass them. The prisoner Lawrence was carrying a bag containing something heavy, and he asked him what the Jag cout4il3o, to whicl ho replied, nothing particular. He stopped the prisoner and opened the bag, which contained lead piping, which was cut up into small quantities. He asked the prisoner how he accounted for the lead, and he said he got it from some children round the wall. Bass walked on while he was talking to Law rence, and was overtaken by another constable. The third man escaped. Bass said that it was no use telling lies about the lead, and that it was obtained from off the shore near the Folly House. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, said the load piping was nearly new. Tho prisoner Lawrence, in defence, said—We are both out of work. We are anxious to obtain employment. There is nothing for us to do on the island or any other place. We went to the Stebondale-road and got this lead. We went to the workhouse yesterday to obtain relief, and the people refused to give us any. We cannot starve. Police-sergeant Ralph, No. 62 K, said Stebondale-road was in the Isle of Dogs. There had been a great many robberies of lead piping on the island since the great dis tress among the working classes and the cessation of em plop-a:mt. Ooucher said ho wanted a remand to enable him to find an owner for the property. Mr. Paget said there was no doubt an owner for the property would be very soon discovered. Ho remanded the prisoners for a week. THE GREAT LOSS OF LIFE AT TEE REGENT'S-PARK. The First Commissioner of Works last evening gave directions for the running off of the water in the lake, and accordingly this morning a body of men, under the directionpf Mr. Smith, the Government contractor, attended at the park and commenced operations. A cutting is being made about sor 6 feet from the edge of the water facing Sussex terrace, 12 feet long by 6 ; and on a depth of 16 feet being reached the men will come upon Mr. Barber's brick sewer running beneath the lake into which an opening will be made ; and then, by means of a pipe, or trench, the water will be conducted therein, and from thence it will `flow through ono Of the arteries until it reaches the great sewer. It is not expected that Barber's sewer will be reached before late this evening or to-mor row morning, so that allowing time for the comple tion of the communication, the water will not com mence running off before Friday. If Mr. Brown ing's theory be correct the water, which covers a surface of 18 acres, will run off in four and twenty hours, so that at the very earliest Satur day next will be the time the muddy bottom of the ornamental water will become visible. Be yond the above fact we have nothing further to add to the account we published yesterday. The park, in consequence of the rapid thaw which has now set in, is now almost impassable—a remarkable change from yesterday, when the paths were as hard as granite. To-day they are quite the reverse, and very few persons beyond those whose duty called them to the spot were to be met with. The Brighton Hunt. The landowners and occupiers of farms within the range of the Brighton Hunt were invited on Friday even ing to a sumptuous banquet given to them at the Grand Hotel by the subscribers to the Brighton Harriers. Sir Christopher Rawlinson took the chair, and after the disposal of the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the toast of the evening, which was "The Health of the Landowners and Occupiers"—the guests of the evening. He said that when he looked upon the season they had had, and the state of the land after the wet autumn, he sometimes began to doubt if he would not have grown selfish if he had had land in the neighbourhood of the Brighton Hunt, it being so heavy and liable to damage; and therefore the visitors and inhabitants of the town were very much in debted to the gentlemen who occupied the land, for were it not for their kindness and forbearance, the Brighton and Brookside Harriers, to say nothing of the South Devon Foxhounds, and other packs at a small distance, would not exist ; and if these did not exist, half the number of horses which were brought to Brighton would not find their way there. For all this they were indebted to the landowners, to whom no return was made—(hear, hear) —and he was exceedingly pleased with this acknowledgment of their kindness. (Applause.) With regard to the Hunt itself, he had noticed the difficulty which his vice-president, Mr. Hudson (the Master of the Hounds), had experienced, whose endeavours to protect the crops were greater than he ever saw any other master of hounds make ; and he showed hotter temper than any, although ho sometimes saw his hounds ridden over. (Applause.) The master of some foxhounds once said to a fellow who was rid ing with all his might after reynard, "Du you think. you can catch that fox with your horse ?" to which the rider replied, " I think I could." (A laugh.) The master said, "Well, then, just let my hounds try first, and if they don't, you shall." (Laughter.) Mr. Hudson was doubtless tempted to say similar things sometimes, but (as he had already stated) h• never lost his temper; and he also hunted with great skill—never was heard hollaing or seen pointing about, and yet the hounds did their work and were kept off the land remarkably well. (Hear, hear.) Sir Christopher then gave the toast, and coupled with it the names of Mr. William liigden, of Hove; Mr. Charles Hardwick, of Hangleton ; and Mr. William Hodson, of Blatchington, who, he said, most kindly and generously allowed their lands to bo ridden over, and without whose permission the Hunt could not exist, (Applause.) The toast was drunk with loud cheers, led by Mr. E. Cane, of Berwick. Mr. RIGIZIEN, in responding, said that his land being so close to the town, was the least injured of any, but ho was sure that he echoed the sentiments of other owners when he wished every success to the Hunt. (Hear, hoar.) Al though he bad now given over hunting himself, he could fully appreciate the pleasures of those who followed the hounds, and ho was satisfied that nearly all who occupied land in the neighbourhood—there were always sure to be some black sheep in a flock—were pleased to see the hounds across their land. (Hear, hear.) So far as the Brighton Hunt was concerned, thero was little to complain of, that is, of those who go with the hounds; but it was those who rode anywhere and turned back when the Capper came round that did the damage —(laughter—but those who really hunted the farmers wore pleased to see; and, feeling that the Brighton Harriers were a great advantage to them, they would always be ready to further their prosperity (Applause.) Mr. HARDWICK and Mr. HoDsoN both responded, in similar terms, hoping that they would bo able to afford as much sport next year as had been experienced this ; and the latter gentleman said he did not care about a hedge or gate or two, when broken in fair hunting, for no man in England was more pleased than himself to see a man ride straight ; but it was the followers who did the damage, and who would go out of their way to leap a sheep-wattle, only riding about to enjoy the country. (Hear, hear.) Mr. RIGDEN then proposed "The Master of the Hounds,' and said he had known the Brighton Harriers for thirty five years, but they never had a better reputation than they now enjoyed. (Hear.) In conclusion he said thatso long as the farmers were treated fairly, so long would they interest themselves in preserving the hunt. (Applause.) He knew when he hunted that if ho had a good place and' a straight run, if any one pleased to shout " War wheat I' he took no heed of it—(a laugh)—it was too much to ex pect from flesh and blood—(renewed laughtorand applause) —but as Mr. Hodson said, it was the followers, like those who follow an army, that do the mischief. He was quite aware that the master of the hounds was not responsible, and so long as he did his best to keep the riders off the crops the farmers would be satisfied, for that was as much as could be expected of him. (Hear, hear.) The toast was drunk amidst loud applause. Mr. HODSON, in returning thanks, said the sport of the past season had boon most satisfactory ; there had been good runs, and they had accounted for a great number of hares. Ho had done his best to provide the necessary ad junct— good hounds—having succeeded in getting good drafts from all quarters; and what, he asked, could be more exhilarating than galloping over the fields after a good pack? (Hear, hear.) Hunting was the soul of country life, and was one of those amusements which a man could participate in without prejudice to himself or others. "It is better to hunt over downs, For health unbought ; Than seek for the doctor for A nauseous draught." (Laughter and applause.) Mr. Hodson - concluded by say ing that he had-had occasion to correct many of the more ardent sportsmen, but ho hoped to be forgiven, and that they would attribute his apparent discourtesy to an over anxiety to show them good sport. (Hear, hear.) To quote the words of the immortal Shakspero— s "My true intent is all for your delight." (Applause.) Some complimentary toasts, including t' The Secretary," "The Treasurer," sc., brought a most pleasant evening to a close. It is proposed to establish an association for the protection of the press from frivolous prosecutions.

Only a moderate quantity of wheat was received fresh to our market to-day from Essex and Kent, and the bulk of the supply came to hand in but middling condition. There was only a moderate attendance of millers, and the trans actions generally were of a retail character ; nevertheless, red and white parcels realised the full prices of Monday. The market was fairly supplied with foreign wheat. All descriptions were firmly held, but only a moderate business was concluded. The floating cargo trade was inactive, yet late rates were well supported. Very little English barley was on sale, but the show of foreign was moderately good. Fine malting parcels were firm in price. Grinding and distillery sorts moved at slowly st. late rates. Malt was in limited request at former terms. trade a The ad oatlu pia.
