~.. ..._,,p MON BY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general money market there has been rather less animation, now that the fourth of the month has been provided for. The rates de manded for the negotiation of first-class paper, however, rule firm, at 2/ to 3 per cent. The bills on offer are only to a limited extent. There were no gold operations of public import ance at the Bank of England yesterday. The changes exhibited in the Bank of England return made up to the 3d inst. show some rather unfavourable features, although they are quite in cidental to the exigencies of the present time. The bullion shows a diminution of £118,294, while there is a falling off in the reserve of notes of £989,570. The other securities also exhibit an addition of £733,607, while the payments at the end of the official year has caused a diminution in the public deposits of £704,505. Annexed is the usual analysis of the Bank of England return : £8,610,051 Decrease...X7o4,s o6 17,671,100 Increase 501,288 ... 5,872,288 Decrease... 9 ; 904 On the other side of the account : Government Securities £13,110,068 Decrease... £393 Other Securities... 20,751,596 Increase... 733,607 Notes unemployed 10,256,855 De0rea5e...X989,570 The amount of notes in circulation is £23,217,380, being an increase of £879,665 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £19,508,938, show ing a decrease of £118,294 when compared with the former return. Publio Deposits... Other Deposits ... Rest The return from the Bank of France shows an increase on the notes of £540,000, and on the stock of bullion of £293,320, while on the Treasury balances there is a decrease of £520,000, and on the commercial bills discounted of £112,000. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been little anima tion. Sugar, however, has maintained previous rates, while superior descriptions of coffee have sold readily at former quotations. Rice, fruit, and spices have been in moderaterequest, without change as regards values, while tallow has remained inac tive at about former quotations. The Directors of the St. John d'el Rey Mining Company (Limited) have received, per Shannon, the following report, dated Morro Velho, March 1: " Produce, 2d division of February, ten days, 14,518 oitavas ; yield, 8,314 oitavas per ton." A meeting of the shareholders of the Commercial Bank Corporation of India and the East has been held, with a view to the resuscitation of the bank. A scheme for effecting this object, de. vised by Messrs. Chadwick, Adamson, M'Kenna, and Co., was laid before the meeting and discussed in all its details. The proposal is to obtain the sanction of the creditors to the payment of the remaining 4s. in the pound of their debts by four equal half-yearly instalments, and to obtain sub scriptions for 30,000 new shares of £lO each, to be fully paid up within a year, thus making the capital of the new hank, inclusive of the estimated surplus of £200,000, half a million of money. The scheme was cordially approved and unanimously adopted. Resolutions appointing a committee for carrying out the proposal were passed, and thanks tendered to the official liquidator for his assistance in faciltating the investigation. A meeting of the shareholers of the Agra and Masterman's Bank (Limited) will be held at the London Tavern, on Tuesday, 16th April, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee appointed at the meeting held in October last, and of passing such resolutions as to adopting the same, and giving consequential directions on the subject as in the opinion of the meeting shall be proper. Immediately after the termination of the above, the ordinary general meeting of the members of the Agra Bank (Limited) will take place. Two O'CLOCK.

CLEVER CAPTURE OP A BATCH OF UTTERERS OF COITN TERFEIT COlN.—Joseph Humphries, Bridget Harrison, and Henry Montagu were charged before Mr. Knox with utter ing a counterfeit shilling at the Blue Posts, Haymarket, and a second counterfeit shilling at the Two Brewers Jermyn-street, Haymarket. Mr. Pollard, from the office of the Solicitor to the Mint, prosecuted. A young man named Edwin Bell saw the prisoners together in Hyde•park, and observing Montagu take what appeared to be a shilling out of a piece of paper and wipe it, but put it back again on his (Bell) looking at him, he was induced to follow and watch them, and on their get ting to the Haymarket the prisoners separated, and Hum phries went into the Blue Posts. Humphries was only in the house a minute, and on his coming out Bell went in and asked the barmaid, Lizzie Lindsey, what the prisoner had passed at the house, and she said a shilling ; Bell looking in the till ho found a counterfeit shilling. He then followed the prisoners, saw them join, and then sepa rate again, and Humphries and the female went into the Two Brewers. Bell got a constable in readiness, and on going into the Two Brewers ascertained that the bar maid, a young woman named Edith Dawson, had taken a bad shilling, and the whole of the prisoners were then taken into custody by Laurence Poole, 305 A, and another constable, Montagu offering a stout resistance and behaving with some degree of violence. Montagu said the other prisoners were strangers to him, and Humphries said he had only been from Chatham three weeks. Mr. Pollard said he had no doubt Montagu, while resist ing being taken into custody, made away with any other counterfeit coin he might have had about him. Poole said that a portrait of Humphries was found on Harrison. Mr. Knox committed them for trial. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. (This Day.) - Market opens with less pressure to sell. Sales probably 8,000 bales or more. It seems not unlikely that an attempt will soon be made to " flank" Thingham Young, and dispose satis factorily of the troublesome question of polygamy, which for some years has loomed large and demanded settlement. The Nevada Legislature has been informed by Senator Stewart that he had good reasons for believing that Con gress would be found quite ready, if Nevada would say she was willing, to make the Territory of Utah a part of the State of Nevada. Nevada appears to be willing; and on Feb. 6 the State Senate, by a vote of 14 to 2, ordered and engrossed a resolution favourable to accepting Utah, or the "State of Deseret ;" for it is true, though not very well known, that the Mormons have a shadowy sort of State Government, with Young as governor, and other Mormons as senators and members of assembly, who annually go through the form of ratifying the acts of the Territorial and National governments. It was, of course, to be ex pected that the citizens of Nevada should entertain a ro bust self-confidenc e in their ability to " handle" soy num ber of Mormons and "to clean out Brigham," if need be within a brief period of time. But still it looks very much as if Nevada, when she gets Utah, will find that she has been swallowed instead of swallowing. There are, per haps, says the Salt Lake City Union Vedette, 3,000 legal voters in Utah. But there were in 1860 about 20,000 male inhabitants, and although a great majority of these are foreigners their disabilities could soon be removed, and they be made voters. The estimated population of Nevada is 30,000 souls, of whom, to be sure, fewer are women and children than in an equal number of Mormons ; but yet the voters in Nevada could be outnumbered, it is likely, by those in the Territory. So it is not wonderful that Young expressos hie satisfaction with the proposed measure, de clines to send money to Nevada to defeat it, and only stipu lates that the new State shall be called the State of Deseret.— The Nation. The Nation thus alludes to the Irish Rebellion The Fenian insurrection in Ireland is clearly a total failure ; in fact, the movement is hardly worth the name of an in surrection. Of course it has created a good deal of excite ment here, and has doubtless answered one object of its promoters, in giving a fresh impetus to the collection of money on this side of the water. In this work of de frauding the poor, these worthies are, we regret to say, aided and abetted by native demagogues and by a portion of the press, such as the New York Tribune, in which one expects to find not only more conscience, but more intel lectual pride. This and other journals have during the past week, been working up 'the rebellion' in the regular sensational style with which readers of the 6 great dailies' are unhappily so familiar, doubting the telegrams from London, and drawing wonderful pictures of imaginary armies that are to assemble in Connaught, and march through Athlone and the Bog of Allen to tear the British Empire to pieces, or else entrench themselves in Tip perary—a county whose strategic advantages the Tribune describes in glowing terms. It appears ' cavalry cannot act in such a country ; artillery, except in very small pieces, cannot be transported over the hills and mountains; and the ground is favourable to ambuscades.' There is more of the same which wo forbear quoting ; the picture it conjures up of the approaching fate of the Bri tish army in Ireland is too harrowing for contemplation, richly as that body of men has deserved its impending an nihilation. We venture to say, with all deference, that there is no flourishing daily paper in the United States which will not find a rigid abstinence from humbug of all sorts fur the space of two years worth more to it both in character and circulation than a dozen special contribu tors' of the highest reputation at 810,000 apiece. The New York Times has strong claims on the gratitude of the poor Fenians as well as of the general public for its words of soberness and truth on this sad and repulsive Fenian swindle, for in America swindle it is. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens did the country good service, too, and himself credit, by refusing to permit the introduction of the ridi culous Donnelly resolutions, claiming belligerent rights for the 'lrish Republic.' Ire had a chance for a good joke when doing so, which we aro sorry he let slip." Dr. William Reed, city physician at Boston, re ports that the health of the city last year was above the average. The number of deaths from smallpox was only 19 against 114 in 1865, and 113 in the year previous. The positions assumed by Dr. Reed a year ago in regard to Asiatic cholera, that to human agency alone is its progress from one place to another due, and that it never attacks broad side, but makes its entrance at isolated points on the sea board, where by energetic and stringent sanitary measures it may be chocked, as in the case of Halifax, last summer, are sustained by an accumulated mass of testimony and by the theories of eminent medical authorities.

WHAT THE WIND S AYS .—" DO you know what the December wi n d says, gran d pa ?" a sked a little child at an old merch an t' s k nee. " No, puss ; w h a t d oes it," he answered, stroking her fair hair. "Remember, the poor ! grandpa. When it comes down the chimney, it roars, 'Remember the poor.' When it puts its great mouth to the heyhole, it whistles, 'Remember the poor.' When it strides through a crack in the door, it whispers it ; and grandpa, when it blows your beautiful silver hair about in the street, and you shiver and button up your coat, does it not get at your ear and say so too, in a still, small voice, grandpa?" " Why, what does the child mean ?" cried grandpa, who, I am afraid, had been used to shut his heart against such words. "You want a new muff and tippet, I reckon. A pretty way to get them out of your old grandpa ?" "No, grandpa," said the child, earnestly shaking her head; "no it's the no -muff-and-tippet chil dren I'm thinking of ; my mother always remembers them, and so do I try to." After the next storm the old mer chant sent fifty dollars to the treasurer of a relief society, and said, "Call for more when you want it." The trea surer stared with surprise, for it was the first time he had ever collected more than a dollar from him, and that, he thought, came grudgingly." "Why," said the rich mer chant, afterwards, "I could never get rid of that child's words ; they stuck like glue." MANUFACTURE 07 TURPENTINE.—In April last year a process of preparing turpentine and acetic , acid from pine wood was patented. A company has boon organised, and is now engaged in manufacturing these articles. Their establishment is at Monk's Corner, in Charleston district, South,r, pitch, Carolina, and i s as be y successful operation. Ia one knows, are, or hithertoree from Lave which by wounding the living tree, andturpentine, ev i e n r exudes, and is then cau g ht i n vessels, while the pitch and turpentine are the results of whh been, the procured gu m distillation. The new process, distillation, is applied to the wood of the pine trees, and is destructive of the wood, and the results are spirits of turpentine, pitch, and acetic acid. One cord of pine wood, it is estimated, will yield 50 gallons of spirits of turpentine (the volatile oil), two bar rels of pitch, and twelve pounds of acetic acid. This dis covery is destined to produce important changes in this extensive branch of industry; and in this it will affect mainly the parties now engaged in it, but ultimately it must so bring down the prices of these articles as to make it an important item to the commercial world, and to those branches of manufacture that depend upon these articles for material or that produce them from other sources. At a recent meeting of the Academy of Natural Sciences of California Professor Blake exhibited about 20 fossil vertebra) of what he believes to have been a groat marine saurian, or crocodile. These bones aro each about four inches long and three in diameter, and, together with teeth of sharks and other remains, were found in Tulare Valley, 3,500 feet above the ocean.

Plaudit was in better odour than yester day for the " Guineas," yet it was evident that, except for the uncertainty of his starting, Hermit would have been as good a favou rite, as £l5O to £lOO was laid on the latter against Major Elwon's horse, both to run. Marks man was often mentioned, and several times in vested on at his price, though at the close half a point more was obtainable. The feature of the Derby betting was a commission being out in favour of Taraban, who was supported to win some Thousands, as below : NEWMARKET HANDICAP.

Our horses are getting very fit for their next week's Craven engagements, and the heath this morning was all alive with the various trainers' lots. Arnull gave Whalebone a steady gallop of a mile and a half ; and from Charley Blanton's stable Tormentor and Seringapatam were very active. Blinkhoolie galloped a mile and a half, but Red Shoes merely cantered. Lizard had a mile and a quarter spin. Joseph Dawson sent Othello and Numa Pompilius along at a rattling pace, and the latter really ought to land the Newmarket Handi cap on Tuesday, though Leases is very forward in condition, and can race. The latter did a mile and a half fast this morning. Apsley and Greenback galloped a similar distance. We did not see either Claverhouse or Sydmonton out ; but Primrose, Jasper, Jauua, Plutus, Leap Year, and Scipio were severally doing plenty of nice exercise. The Flying Scud had a mile and a quarter rattling fast gallop; and Bismarck went a mile at three parts speed. Cecrops and Gretna were galloping about, and Delium cantered freely. Dr. Syntax went a mile. The Pieman had a two mile gallop, going well. Camilla, too, did a mile and a quarter first-rate. Eau de Vie, Grimston, Nyanza, The Morning Star, and several other two-year olds, engaged for next week, were doing over a mile, acquitting themselves most creditably. Hippie, Avron, The Rake, Ravioli, D'Estournel, Moleskin, Friponier, The Hermit, and Julius were very busy ; but it is not likely that either The Rake or The Hermit will be 'tripped next Wednesday for the Ninth Newmarket Biennial, therefore the represen tative of Mr. Saville's interest will have nothing but Vauban and Taraban to foar, and we under stand that stabling has been engaged for both of them. Mount Palatine has done well for the Eighth Biennial, but he is sure to be op posed by Ischia or Ceylon. Minnie did a mile and three-quarters clipping this morning, and is very ripe; she will win the Abingdon Stakes. Eau de Vie, too, continues well. Lord Glasgow's four-year-old Strafford's dam colt did a couple of miles in rare form, and has the Port Stakes entirely at his mercy. Jollity was at work again, but her action was bad. The Amanda colt trotted about. Mdlle. Cleopatre had a mile and three-quarters gallop. Trocadero and Dragon galloped a mile and a half ; and Knight of the Garter did similar work. Opoponax went a mile and a quarter, and Van Amburgh half a mile or so further than that. STOCKBRIDGE. Gomera took Ischia two miles steadily this morn ing, and Vauban followed Lord Ronald a similar distance. Ischia, who has been eased of late, had a spin with Seville and Lady Rose. Distill still walked about, and Pantaloon led the two year olds. Lecturer trotted and cantered about, but the Duke had a gallop with Bla k Prince for about a mile. Harpenden and Roll Call did little or nothing. Uncas and Fairfield went a mile and three quarters. Caucasus did a mile and a half.

Plaudit was out early with Strathconan, New land, and Rose, and the four took several canters, then walked a bit, and subsequently galloped a mile add three quarters at a good pace, all pulling up fresh and sound. Violet followed Blairgowrie and Bob Chambers a mile and a half. Bumblekite did nearly a couple of miles, but again showed temper ; she was led by Imperator. If we have a chance here for the Oaks it is with her. A lot of our horses are at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, atid most of the trainers and jockeys have gone to tho " coaly banks" also. ILSLEY. Lord Lyon went a splendid mile and a half gallop this morning, taking the General with him. Ellaud, Dunsany, and Split the Difference did similar work. Achievement galloped a mile and a quarter by herself, going beautifully. Brown Bread was out, but is very infirm, and backward ; still he went a mile and a half. Dalby galloped over a couple of miles, and did it well. Lowe's team was in excellent working order. The downs afford good going now, and all the trainers are busy. LAMBOURNE. As usual; Marksman did work by himself. This morning, after trotting and cantering some con siderable time, he galloped a mile and a half, show ing no temper, and his action was all that his astute owner could desire. Nearly all the other horses in Waugh's stable, young and old, are in physic. MALTON. Taraban, Grand Cross, and Wild Wind again followed Knight of the Garter nearly two miles, and the first-named is fit fur the Newmarket Biennial. Westwick, too, has been prepared for next week's engagement ; this morning he did two miles and a half. Rondiuella went a mile and three•quarters. Corybantica galloped a mile and a half. Skylark got into faster and longer work, doing a mile and a half. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1867. MAY.

The LORD CniaccELLon took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Kidderminster Gas Bill (Amendments) was read a third time. ADMIRALTY COURTS. Tho LORD CHANCELLOR begged leave to introduce a bill to amend the action of Vise-Admiralty courts in the colonies. The bill was read a first time. BILLS. The Fulham Railway Bill was read a second, time. RELIGIOUS (SITES) BILL. Lord CRANWORTH said that in moving the second reading of the Religious, &c., Building (Sites) Bill he need not tell their lordships that the interment of the dead had been regulated by a bill called the Mortuary Bill, and this act had controlled all grants of sites necessary for the purpose of erecting religious edifices. Now what he wished to effect by the present bill was to do away with a great deal of inconvenienc e, which arose in obtaining perm i s sion to erect the edifices alre ad y described. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that although he did not intend to object to the bill, still he thought that it was very carelessly drawn. The noble lord then entered into Lally technical points which he . considered, insisted u pon, would lead to several serious innovations. He should therefore propose as an amendment the enrolment of the deeds. The bill was then read a second time. THE MUTINY BILL. Lord LONGFORD said, that in moving the second reading of this bill that their lordships were doubtless all well acquainted with a discussion which had gone on in another place relative to flogging in the army. In conse qnence the 22d clause of this bill had been altered, and it enacted that flogging should only take place under two conditions, mutiny or insubordination, accompanied with personal violence. He (the noble lord) chiefly regretted that it should be necessary at any time to enforce corporal punishment. The bill was road a second time. LYON BING-AT-ARMS (SCOTLAND) BILL. Lord BELMORE moved the commitment of this bill, which was committed accordingly. ADJOURNMENT FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Lord REDESDALE moved that the house adjoin"' for the holidays on Friday the 12th inst. This was agreed to, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Caledonian Railway (Forfarshire Works, &c.), Hartlepool Gas and Water, and Ipswich Fishery. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY (No. 3) BILL. Mr. P. HUGHES moved the suspension of standing orders in the case of the petition from the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (No. 3) Bill. Col. W. PATTEN opposed the motion. Mr. CAVE thought the best course was to agree to the proposition, as it might lead to so beneficial a measure for the benefit of the undertaking. The motion was agreed to. THE METROPOLIS GAS ACT. The Sheriffs of the City of London presented a petition against the Metropolis Gas Act. TIPPERARY ELECTION COMMITTEE. Sir P. EGERTON brought up the report of the Tippe rary election committee, which stated that the Hon. C. White was duly elected, and that there bad not been un due influence exercised by the Roman Catholic clergy. ENFRANCHISEMENT OF WOMEN. Mr. R. GURNEY presented a petition from a large number of persons stating that they possessed every quali fication for the franchise except that of sex—(loud laugh ter)—and praying that that circumstance might not be come a barrier to their admission to the franchise. (Loud laughter.) THE METROPOLIS GAS BILL. A great number of petitions were presented by members on both sides of the house against this bill. NEW WRIT. A new writ was, on the motion of Mr. lintorn, ordered to issue for Middlesex, in tho room of Mr. Hanbury, deceased. NEW BRIBERY ACT. Mr. Sergeant ARMSTRONG gave notice of his inten tion to move an addition to the oath now taken by mem bers, to the effect that they had not directly or indirectly by agents or other persons permit, sanction, or suffer bribery to be exercised on his behalf. THE REFORM BILL—THE MEETING OF LIBE RALS TO-DAY AND THEIR RESOLUTIONS. Mr. AOLAND, on the part of Mr. Coleridge, gave no tico that, on the reading the order of the day for going into committee on the Bill for the Amendment of the Repre sentation of the People, he should move that it be an instruction to the committee that they have power to alter the law of rating, so that in every parliamentary borough the occupiers of tenements of a given amount of relative value be relieved from the liability of personal rating, with a view to Ex a li ne for the borough franchise, at and above which all occupiers should be entered on the rate book, and shall have equal facility for the enjoyment of such franchise as a residential occupation franchise. THE REFORM BILL. Mr. SYNAN asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he proposed retaining and moving in committee on the Representation of the People Bill the clause for the use of voting papers. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did intend to proceed with the clause, and he hoped it would be adopted; and he hoped it would also be adopted hi Ireland, as it was a country in which it would work very advantageously. (Loud laughter.) EDUCATION. On the motion for going into supply, Mr. LOWE ro e to call the attention of the house to the pr , posals of the Government with respect to the n.nge merit of the grant fur ecluwtion. Ele contended the prr posals would fail, that it wotfrd trot•int.be least degree stimulate people as the Government desired, and that the espenditure as proposed would be altogether a waste of public money. He concluded by moving that the house dissents from so much of the minute of tlacCominittec of Council on Education as provided for- an increase of the grant now made to primary schools. Mr. CORRY defended the plan proposed by the Go vernment. (LEFT SPEAKING.) Tipperary Election Committee—This Day.

Many of the principal clergy of the diocese were present. It appearei from the state ments of the Rev. Canon Hawkins, the Rev. J. S. Mon sell, LL.D., Archdeacon Huxtable, and others, that consi derable difficulty had been experienced in raising the requisite funds for the erection of the church, for which only £1,200 was required. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales headed the subscription list with a liberal donation, as chairman of the British Commission, but others interested a in the Exhibition still held back.
