MONEY MARKET AND COINIMERCIL TWELVE O'CLOCK. As was fully anticipated, the directors of the Bank of England have, at their usual Thursday Court, adjourned without making any change in their discount regulations. Although money is s uperabundant and obtainable upon bills as low as 2 i per cent., there is demand for gold on export account, and various contingencies to beconsidered, rendering a reduction of the minimum inexpedient ; besides which it would, amidst the prevailing plethora, be au unprofitable attempt on the part of the authorities to compete with their neighbours, Who would modify their terms in proportion, and bring affairs relatively in the same position as before. • The City of Baltimore has arrived from New York with specie to the amount of about £3,000. Messrs. J. H. Schroder and Co. have notified that the fourth drawing for the redemption of the 4} per cent. Swedish Government Loan of 1864 for X 2, 2 23,000 sterling, took place at Stockholm o n the 2d January last, when Bonds, amounting to £ 1 1,300 were drawn by lot for repayment at par, ' v iz., £5,600 on the 15th April, and £5,700 on the 15th October next. The holders of the Bonds d rawn are requested to present the same in the course for payment. A small amount of gold, representing £33,000, was taken from the Bank of England yesterday. The withdrawals during the Gazette week have amounted to £485,000, and further sums are ex pected shortly to follow.

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

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The discussion relative to the Emperor's Letter; if discussion it may be called where there is so much unanimity, is nearly exhausted. The Constitutionnel prefers the system of putting questions to debates upon the Address, because it gives to the great bodies of the State the most efficacious, the most natural, and the most speedy mode of expressing their opinion upon the acts of power. The suppres sion of discussion on the Address, therefore, will not have the result of restricting and controlling opinion. Another writer contends that supposing the Govern ment desired to keep certain points in the dark that would lead to the belief that they were afraid of the light, whereas, on the contrary, it provokes investigation. The journal La France says that the questioning which the Government has decided to allow will have the advantage over debates upon the Address, that it will immediately elicit and resolve the great questions upon which public opinion has for so long a time been excited. There are, of course, some objections to the pro positions from the Opposition journals, but they seem to think them so untenable that they quote the arguments from other papers in favour of the change. The Court of Cassation has given an important decision upon an appeal of M. Delevault, editor of the Memorial des Deux Sevres, against the judg ment of the Imperial Court of Poitiers. It has decided that the infraction of Article 14 of the organic decree respecting the press, of the 17th February, 1852, given by the publication of a re port of the sittings of the Legislative Body other than the official report, was a contravention, pure and simple. Consequently the editor of the articles published cannot be prosecuted as an accomplice, because he has not taken any direct part in the pub lication. The Court, therefore, has set aside the judgment of the Court of Poitiers of the 22d of Nov., 1366, which sentenced M. Delavault to pay a fine of 100 f. as author of a report published in the Memorial des Deux Sevres. The Minister of Marine and the Colonies has re ceived news respecting the education ship, the Jean Bart, dated Rio Janeiro, the 21st of December last. The sanitary state of all on board was excellent. All trace of the epidemic had disappeared. A letter from Rome states that the Legate of Tuscany, which, since the annexation of that coun try to Italy, has been maintained at the Holy See, has been supported by the Grand Duke since the Ist of January. The religious discussions being terminated, all that remains to be settled between the Pontifical State and Italy are.the regulations regarding pass ports, transit, and the Customs. The weather is completely changed and the frost has again left us. About seven o'clock last evening from intense cold it turned to comparative warmth. About 4 o'clock this morning it began to rain very heavily,, and the rain continued with little interrup tion for two or three hours. By ten o'clock not a particle of snow was to be seen in or around Paris, and a mild spring-like air has prevailed all day. It is a searching but gentle thaw, so amusement on the ice is over for the present. In the sun at four o'clock it was quite warm. An accident, which might have proved almost as fatal as that in the Regent's -park, took place on Monday on the ice on the Bois de Boulogne. In spite of the injunctions of the wood-keeper a num ber of persons persisted in going to skate upon the ice which was marked " dangerous." All of a sudden they were precipitated into the water by the breaking of the ice. The water is very deep at this point. The keeper who wished to seize the ringleader of the group was himself dragged into the water. Happily effectual assistance , was at hand, and the whole of the imprudent skaters were brought safely to land. Among the persons who assisted in this rescue was au individual employed at the Tribune of Com merce, who has obtained several medals for similar heroic conduct. A rare incident consequent upon the cold was remarked at Havre. The promenaders on the Place du Theatre were astonished at the appear ance of a flight of partridges. They were so be numbed by the cold that several allowed themselves to be captured by the hand. A Belgium journal relates a still more extraordinary occurrence—au attack upon a railway train by wolves. A luggage train, with minerals and sheep, was proceeding on the Luxembourg Railway where the snow had so accumulated that there was a fear it would put the fire out. The train was therefore stopped, and the guard went to Poix for assistance. While the train was stopped, the engine-driver and other persons were in a critical position. The howl of wolves was heard, and, no doubt attracted by the smell of sheep, five of these animals came close to the train. All that t h ese p ersons cou ld do was to scatte r steam upon th e wo l ves , an d make the locomotive whistle sound as loudly as it was possible. The wolves, however, nothing daunted, gut upon the engine. The men, how ever, defended themselves with such weapons as they had at hand. One of the wolves was killed, and the men were able to preserve themselves from the attacks of the others until assistance arrived. They were, however, kept in fearful alarm for two mortal hours. Twenty workmen then arrived and the train was able to proceed, bearing away the dead body of the wolf. The accounts from Spain speak of the excessive severity of the weather there. Such quantities of snow had fallen at Oviedo, that it was feared the houses would give way under the weight of it. At Leon large numbers of wolves had made their ap pearance, the cold having driven them from the fields, but the Spanish wolves do not appear to be so daring and voracious as Belgian wolves, for no account is given of their having attacked any Rail way train. A widow lady, named Descuriaux, has just died at Lauze, in the department of M. Haute Marne, aged 100 years, a month, and 16 days. She had all her faculties up to the last moment. A murder, no doubt with the intention of robbery, has been committed at Chart r es. B e t ween n i ne and who re s id es i n th e R ue du 0 stthediseaseprecautions strict cl is are still p rac ti se d b y the ak i n Pave de Bouneval, and murdered a n o ld woman, his servant.

The Prussia n autho rities amazingly trt i litheir regulations ; a t all s, travellers g are not ve ry we l l pleased with cv e are nt them, for they are compelled to submit to nauseous fumigations. Lately some travellers were fumigated to such an extent that the remedy was almost worse than the disease, for the railway companies refused to admit them into their carriages, as their clothes emitted such abominable odours. The following is au interesting pendant to the amount of the present population of Paris. In the 13th century Paris contained 120,000 inhabitants ; in 1474, 150, 000 ; unde r Henry 11., 210,000 ; i n in 1776, 658,000 ; i n 1778 , 6 70,000; in 1798, 640 , 0 00 ; i n 1802, 1590, 200,000 ; under Louis XIV., 492,600 ; i n 713,966 ; in 1827 , 890,431; i n 6i 1 n7 7 2 1 1, 9 07 , 08 5 01 0 ;; 9, i6 6 n6 4 0 0 1;80 ; 1070, ; 1836,909,126; in 1841,912,033; in 1846, 1,053,897; in 1851, 1,053,262; in 1856, 1,174,346 ; in 1861, 1,696,141 ; and in 1866, 1 ,825,294. Since 1841 the population of Paris has been doubled.

THE HORSE AND ITS RIDER.—The skeletons of a horse and its rider, and a long rust-eaten lance lying close by, have been discovered in the midst of a tuft of bushes of extraordinary thickness in the forest of Cinglais, near Caen. An examination has led to the conclusion that the remains are those of a Cossack and his steed. The suppo sition is that the animal, being wounded, fell with its rider into the thicket, which lies low, and that they were unable to extricate themselves. Two WAYS OP SAYING A THING.—In the train from Harrisburg was a gentleman Jack Tar in a go-ashore outfit, jolly, genteel, and happy, with a decidedly pretty specimen of 18-year-old crinoline, to whom he had been a week spliced, and was conveying Philadelphiaward. Op posite Jack and his wife were a couple that any one could see were on a honeymoon cruise—the bride all blushes, beauty, and bashfulness, and the gallant lx:degroom all de votion and endearment. At one of the way stations the cars stopped, and the careful bridegroom thus addressed his timid bride—" My love, I am about to step out a few mo ments for refreshments ; do not be alarmed during my ab sence." Gentleman Jack took the cue, and patting his wife on the shoulder, sung out, as if he were hauling the main topgallantyard in a gale of wind—" I say, wifey, I'm going ashore to wet my whistle ; don't tumble overboard while I'm gone."—Americm paper. - - REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT SIIEFFIELP. —0 n Monday a Belem demonstration took place at Sheffield, under the auspices of the Sheffield Branch of the National Reform League. Ia the morning a procession marched through the principal streets, but the whole number of those who took part in it was less than 1,000. At the open air meeting, however, which took place in the after noon in the' Haymarket,/ there) was a ve.y large assembly, numbering, probably, between 5,000 and 6,000. There were three platforms, the principal spaakers being Mr. Ernest Jones, Mr. S. Plimsoll (President of the Sheffield Branch of the Leagae), and Mr. Mantel, of London, agent of the League. Rasolutions were simul taneously passed in favour of residential and registered manhood suffrage, and thanks we:e tendered to "Earl Russell, William Ewrrt Gladstone, John Bright John Stuart Mill, Thos. Hughes, Professor Fawcett, Ed mond Beales, and others, for their able and manly defence of constitutional government." Two meetings were an nounced for the evening--one at the Mechanics'-hall, and the other at the Temperance-hall. The attendance at the former place was so small, in consequence of ls. being charged for admission, that an adjournment to the Tempe rance-hall was decided upon. The attendance at the latter place was not at the outcet very large, as none but ticket holders, Who had to pay for their tickets, werwtewhasaTeetrlhaeofieteremesounitr,p.Dadeimermod-: ad mitted.

How not TO Do IT.—The officers of Royal Engineers and Royal Artillery are commonly con sidered to belong to scientfic branches of the service. Therefore they are not to study strategy. At Chatham there used to be a course of lectures on strategical subject% but some ono at the War-office has found the flagrant at tempt at improvement, and has docked tho grant off the estimates, in order that the Engineers and Artillery may have increased facility to study—architecture ! Perhaps there is something to be said in defence of the proceeding. But it surely has not received the sanction, or rather, it has not been by the desire or with the approval, of Colonel Simmons. If the officers of the establishment were con sulted, we think they would not approve the change: It would be interesting to ascertain the motives for making it, and, in the hope that some ono may be able to elucidate them, wo draw attention to the subject in these few lines. —Army and Navy Gazede. • LONGEVITY.—A peasant, named Percy, horn in a village between Worcester and Malvern, and believed to be still living at Leckhampton, near Cheltenham, is sup posed to _be the oldest man in England, being about 110 years old.

CIGAR-MAKING IN HAVANA.--There may be small manufacturers of Havana who own but two or three slaves, or employ but two or three work-women, and they may do their work in a brutish and uncleanly manner; but so far as my own experience at the Hija de Cabanas y Carvajal's renders me a trustworthy witness, I may vouch for the scrupulous cleanliness and delicacy with which every single stage in the process of cigar-making is conducted. I have seen barley-sugar made, and I have seen bread made, and I certainly consider the manufacture of cigars to be a nicer transaction than either bread or sweet-stuff making. Nothing can be orderly, more sym metrical, than the appearance of the cutting and shaping room. The operators sit to their work, and make the cigars with tkoir fingers, but do not roll them into the shape by attrition on their sartorius muscles as is popu larly supposed. Every operator has his counter or desk, his sharp cuttlzg tools, and a pot of gum for fastening the tips, with h:s stock of assorted tobacco-leaf in baskets by his side. It is a competitive vocation. The best work men a:e the best off. Payment is by results. Many of the hands employed aro negro slaves, or were so when I was in Havana three years ago ; but the finer cigars, the prime Cabanas, the Napoloones, the Espaniales and Itega lies, ar3 made exclusively by white Creole Spaniards, who are paid according to the number they can turn out a day, and many of whom realise very handsome wages. -Good cigars are very dear iu Ilayana.—Dickens's "Ali the Year Round.
