MONEY MARKET A ND COMMERCIAL IN. TELL-MEW:II, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is very little inquiry in the general discount market, and affairs remain without change of im portance. The Asia has arrived from New York, but with only £l,OOO in specie; the Nyanza had also been announced from Alexandria with about £45,000. There were no gold operations at the Bank of England on Saturday. In the Corn Market during the week the indif ferent condition of the English wheat on offer caused a decline in the value of foreign, which ruled about Is. to 33. per quarter compared with the highest Point realised, the anticipated large arrivals on the coast from the Black Sea having caused some slight excitement to the trade. From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week have generally been of a rather un favourable character. At Manchester quotations for cloths and yarns have shown a downward Movement, with very little inquiry. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has remained very quiet ; but at Birmingham, Sheffield, • and Wolverhampton the receipt of some consider able orders for exportation to the eastern markets has caused a more cheerful tone. To -day has been held the fourteenth meeting of the Berlin Water Works Company. The report the directors, taking into consideration the late war i n Prussia, and the subsequent cessation of build ing operations in Berlin, think satisfactory. The general revenue account yields a balance for the Past half-year of £22,247, from which the Board recommended a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. Per annum free of income tax, leaving £1,887 to be carried forward. The directors, in their last report, referred to the contemplated con struction of additional engines. After mature c onsideration of the various tenders submitted to them, they eventually accepted that of Messrs. Simpson and Co., who are now actively engaged in carrying out their contract. The new filters also alluded to are now completed. It has been notified that the share subscription of the British and American Telegraph Company will close on Wednesday next ; the quotation is li 2 i pm. The public will learn with pleasure that the company has been so speedily and suc cessfully floated, as all are so deeply in terested in having every possible facility afforded for telegraphic communication between the Old and New World. Under so intelli gent, as well as respectable, a director, we can not doubt that the British and American Tele graph Company will prove as profitable to the s hareholders as it will prove advantageous to the people on both sides of the Atlantic. Already on the alert with the prospect of a keen competi tion, it is understood that the old Atlantic Com pany contemplate a reduction on their minimum tariff for messages from £lO to £5 each. Two o'CLocK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to - daY, the French Rentes . were 69f. 37c.

This morning, between the hours of three and four, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. T. Weaver, known as the Rising Sun Tavern, Micham road, Lower Tooting, which has laid in ruins pro perty to the amount of many hundreds of pounds, and caused the loss of four or five lives. The powerful steam engines of Messrs. Shand, Mason, and Co., were turned out, but by the time they ar rived the premises were entirely gutted. As soon as the ruins were sufficiently cooled, Mr. W. Swan ston, the superintendent of the salvage, directed his corps to ascertain if any persons were missing, when they were horrified at finding some lodgers, of the names of Smith, Cullens, Porter, and a man whose name is at present unknown, burnt to death in the ruins. The search for other missing bodies is now being proceeded with ; but up to the time this re port left no more bodies were found. The cause of the fire is unknown. The loss will fall on the Sun Fire-office. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. (This Day.) The market opens firm. Sales probably 12,000 bales. Vacancies, Promotions, and Appointments in the Civil S rvice.

THE TITLES OF DANISH AND SWEDISH PAPERS.-- We are glad to see that our foreign correspondent calls attention to the stupid blunder so often made in our English journals, when quoting the names of newspapers published in the Scandinavian languages. It is a pecu liarity of the' Scandinavian tongues that they form the definite article in two ways—firstly, by a separate word placed before tke noun, and secondly (which is the most frequent form), by affixing to the noun itself the termina- tion en for the masculine and feminine, and et for the neuter. Thus—Aland, man ; Manden, the man ; Trte, tree; Trwt, the tree ; Blad, leaf ; Bladet, the leaf. It is therefore as wide of the mark to say "The Dagbladet," as it would bo to say, " The La Presse," or for a Frenchman to speak of "Le The Times." We trust some of our confreres will make a note of this; for the English papers are much read i❑ the north of -Europe, and the mistake is a very glaring one in the eyes of a Dane, a Norwegian, or a Swede.

A NEW " MINISTER OF MARINE."—There is a rumour afloat, and as the idea has always been a favourite ono with Sir John Pakington, there may be some founda tion for it, to the effect that the office of the Comptroller of the Navy is to be abolished, and a functionary, with the title of Minister of Marine, appointed in his stead. The new official is to hive a salary of £2,000 per annum, and is to have a seat in the House of Commons, so as always to be prepared to give replies to questions of a technical cha radon—Army anc Navy Gazftte.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THROWING PEPPER IN A COFFEE-SHOP KEEPER'S EYES. —Charlotte Dexeneux, a dirty-looking French woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with assaulting Mr. Wm. Larkin, coffee-house keeper, 26, Great Windmill street. Mr. Larkin said—About seven o'clock this morning, the prisoner came into my shop and asked me to give her a cup of coffee. I did not like to refuse to do so, and gave it to her. After she had sat down for nearly an hour, and as it was about the time my regular customers came in I asked the prisoner to leave. She, however, took no notice of what I said, and shortly afterwards I went and again asked her to go, and between the two occasions of my asking her to leave she had emptied a pepper box into a piece of paper, and she slapped the paper and its con tents into my face, the pepper going into my• eyes and causing me great pain. The Prisoner—lt was snuff. Mr. Larkin—lt was not. Mr. T 3 rwhitt—You gave her the coffee ? Mr. Larkin—Yes, seeing her poor condition. Mr. Tyrwhitt—to the prisoner —You are a most ungrate ful, cruel person. The complainant gave you some coffee, and then in return for his kindness, when he asks you to leave, you throw pepper in_his eyes. I shall commit you for 1.1 days. CLOSE OF THE PRUSSIAN A T 4 EMU.- TITRE, SPEECH FEOM THE THRONE_ BERLIN, F( :b..9. The King of Prussia closed the Diet to -day in person. The Queen, the Crown Princess, all the Royal Princes, the Count of Flaradres, and the English, French, Russian, and Dan .'Bll Ministers were present. 111; Majesty, who was enthusiastically c:lleered by the members of the Diet read the following - Speech : " Illustrious, Noble, and Honourable G.?ntlemen of both Houses of the Diet,— " At the close of a memorable and eventful period, I express to you my thanks for having assisted my Government to bring those ho2es to fulfilment which 1 coupled with this session. " By granting the indemnity for the financial ad ministration of recent years carried on without a Budget law, you have held out the hand to a settle:- I/lent of the dispute upon a matter of a principle which had for years obstructed the co-operation of my Government with the respresentatives of the country. " I entertain the conviction that the experience gained and a general correct understanding of the essential conditions of our constitutional life will conduce to avert the recurrence of similar events in future. " By granting the extraordinary supplies for the requirements of the army and the fleet you have displayed your determination to guard what has been gained, in recognition of the results hitherto achieved by the policy of my Government, based upon the tried readiness and valour of my army. " A further guarantee for the permanent observ ance of constitutional relations has been gained by the settlement of the Budget before the commence ment of the present financial year. By provisionally relinquishing various items of expenditure which it is difficult to dispense with in carrying on the ad ministration, my Government has afforded a new proof of the value it attaches to agreement with the representatives of the country. It is therefore all the better justified in hoping that the requirements in question will be admitted and satisfied at a future date. "I recognise with especially warm thanks the readiness with which the representatives have granted my Government the means of alleviating the position of soldiers incapacitated for labour in battle for the Fatherland, as well as the condition of the widows and orphans of the fallen. "Now that Parliament has afforded efficient co operation in carrying out the changes rendered necessary by the material enlargement of Prussian territory, and has trustfully placed in my hands the transfer of the relations hitherto subsisting in the newly-acquired districts into free community with the older provinces, I may confidently expect that the inhabitants of all the countries now united with Prussia will feel themselves more and more at home in the great commonwealth of their fellow-country men and recent neighbours, and will participate in the tasks falling to the share of the latter with in creasing devotion. The preparations already made for their representatives joining both Houses of the Diet will contribute to strengthen and animate the consciousness of community with the older portions of the monarchy. "But in especial the careful and conscientious guardianship over all the germs of the public welfare which the Prussian nation is accustomed to expe rience from its Government, and which has been materially promoted by the co-operation of the Diet with my Government in the Session just brought to a close, will enable the population of the new pro vinces to receive the benefits of the new community in an ever-increasing degree. " Assisted by agreement with the representatives of the . country, my Government has been able to call into existence important facilities and improve ments in all departments of public life. The pre paratory steps towards abolishing the salt monopoly and the increase of judicial cost, the settlement of the relations of trading and innkeepiug companies, the removal of the limitation of the rate of interest, the postal and commercial treaties, the conversion of the Pomeranian fiefs, the abolition of the Rhine navigation dues, the increase of the salaries o f lower-class officials and of schoolmasters, together with the grant of the supplies for the construction and completion of important railways, will be hailed by large circles as grateful fruits of the Session just completed. " While the special development of the Prussian political system experiences a gratifying advance by the united co-operation of the representatives of the country with my Government, the fact that the draught of the Constitution for the North German Confederation has been accepted by all the Govern ments allied with Prussia justifies me in the convic tion that the German people will obtain, upon the basis of an united organization such as Germany has hitherto vainly striven for during centuries of conflict, those blessings to which it is called by Pro vidence, throigh the fulness of its inherent power and civilization, as soon as it understands how to maintain peace both at home and abroad. " I shall look upon it as the highest glory of my Crown if God has appointed me to devote the power of my people, strong by fidelity, valour, and educa tion, to the re-establishment of the lasting unity- of the German races and their Sovereigns. I trust in God, who has so graciously guided us, that ho will permit us to attain this object ! ~~1. Bristol anti Ex Caledonian ii;ambrlan !fork and 8and0n...... d2orn wall Dublin & Bellast June.

THE MARQUIS TOWNSIIEND AND MENDICITY.—A sturdy looking mendicant, who gave the name of James Chand ler, was charged with begging. Tho Marquis Townsend said that at a little after four o'clock yesterday afternoon he saw the defendant standing with his children near the new buildings in Eaton-street, Pimlico. He had a child on either side of him, stood in a beseeching attitude, and touched his hat to passengers, and his right hand was wrapped in a handkerchief ; but on this being removed at the police-station it was found that there was nothing the matter with his hand. Prisoner received money from persons. Ile had boon seen about begging for the last four or five weeks. Accused was taken into custody, and the children given up to the . mother, who was found at a lodging-house in Pye-street, Westminster. Defendant—l've done nothing. Mr. Selfo—You were begging. Defendant—l did not speak to Any one. Mr. Selfe—What were you standing there for ? Defendant—To rest. Let me go, your worship. I want to go to Leighton Buzzard, whore I can get some work. Mr. Selfe—llas this man boon hero before. Sergeant Buckley—His wife was hero yesterday, and ad mitted that he had been in custody b e f ore . Defendant—No, I ain't ; and she had no right to say so. Mr. Salfe—l don't intend to allow sturdy beggars like you to go prowling about the streets, putting yourselves in fustian, to collect alms. Defendant—l did not say any thing. Mr. Solfe—You were thorn bogging, and 6d. in silvor and 10d. in copper were found upon you. You aro cornmittod for 14 days. THAMES. DRUNK AND DISORDERLY AND ASSAULTING A POLICE MAN.—John Rock°, a tall Irishman, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting George Woolnouge, a police-constable, 146 K. The policeman said he was called upon on Saturday night to remove the prisoner from a pie shop in High street, Poplar, where he had been making a disturbance and also threatening the proprietor. He got the prisoner out of the shop, and told him to go home. The prisoner then went away. He found the prisoner soon afterwards in the same street quarrelling with some navvies and challenging them to fight. He advised the prisoner to go home, but instead of doing so he made a great disturbance, struck him, and knocked him down. The prisoner ran away, and was stopped by another constable. William Duncan, 224 K, confirmed the statement of the last witness. The prisoner—Did I not go quietly with you ? Witness—Yes, you did, when you saw my staff, and I threatened to knock you down. The prisoner said ho had been out of employ for some time, and got a little to do last week. lie was drunk on Saturday night, and did not know what he did. If he had struck the police constable ho was sorry for it. If the magistrate would listen to him ho would tell a different yarn. Mr. Paget—Go on, say what you like. The prisoner—Five or six navvies beat me because I was an Irishman. Mr. Paget—What ? You an Irishman ? The prisoner—To be sure 1 am, and no shame to me for that. Mr. Paget—Certainly not. What county in Ireland do you come from ? Tho prisoner—From the county Limerick. The navies aro always down upon an Irishman. I vas all over mud. The policemen said the prisoner was covered with mud and dirt. Mr. Paget said the prisoner got a little work to do, and directly he received his wages he got drunk and was guilty of all manner of excesses. There was very likely to be some truth in what the.,prisoner said about the navvies, and if he had been sober and appealed to the police for pro tection ho would have justice done, him. The conduct of the navvies was no justification for the serious assault on the police-constable, for which he sentenced the prisoner to one months' imprisonment and hard labour. THE BOMBAY MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Feb. 11. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Nyanza, Capt. J. Weeks, has arrived with these mails, £45,240 in specie, 147 boxes of oranges, a general cargo, and 48 passengers, among whom are Capt. Phillips and Lieut. Story, from India ; Lieut. C. N.

HE'S ONLY A. PRINTER.—" He's only a printer" was the sneering remark of a leader in society. He was only a printer. Well, what was the Earl of Stanhope ? lle was only a printer. What is Prince Frederick William, who married the Princess Royal of England? He, too, is only a printer. Who was William Caxton— one of the fathers of literature ? He was only a printer. What were Samuel Phelps, George D. Prentice, M. Thiers, Douglas Jerrold, Bayard Taylor, G. P. Willis, J. Galosq, C. Rich ardson, King, and Artemus Ward ? They, too, were all printers. What was lien Frapklin? Only a printer. What is the Hon. Joseph Howe ? Ho, too, is a printer ! Every body can't be a printer—brains are necessary. The Paris ExhibAion. On Jan. 17 the ship Mercury cleared from New York for Havre with a cargo of goods for the Paris Exposition. This is the second cargo sent from the United States, and it embraces goods from every part of the country, among them being an American street railway-car, an Illinois school-house built in sections, California gold and silver ores, a Western farm-house, in sections, Indiana Indian corn-stalks 17ft. high, a Philadelphia machine for planing and working iron, weighing 40 tons, a Ver mont stone-cutting machine, used in quarries in lieu of blasting, Connecticut breech-loading rifles, a Massachusetts steam bakery, which makes bread without the use of any man power, a vast number of agricultural implements, artificial arms, legs, teeth, and eyes, an American army waggon which was in Sherman's famous " march to the sea," a glass plough —not a model but a working plough, and two 15-inch cannon. Another vessel will pro bably be chartered to convey American contributions, and from Toronto it is announced that there will be about 400 Canadian contributors to the Expo sition. THE UNITED STATES AT PARIS.--Not all the Americans whose contributions to the Paris expo sition have gone out, will find a place for them in the great " show." How it happens is thus told in a letter from Paris :—Great complaints are heard here among the " rejected" or "restricted" Ameriv cans at the coming exposition. It appears that Mr. Derby, chief commissioner at Now York, accepted pell-mell the applications of all the world, for spce in the Exposition building. The commissioners of other countries, except our own, sent in their de mands for space in January last, the time desig nated by the Imperial Commission. Ours were not ready, and the chief commissioner here, Mr. Beck with, was obliged to ask a delay of some months until April, which delay was granted. In April affairs were no further advanced ; no report was then received from New York, delay after delay occurred, until the month of October arrived before any notification of the amount of space re quired was forwarded to the commission here, when it was found that five times as much space as that allotted to the United States would not serve to secure all the articles proffered by exhibitors. Hence an almost inextricable confusion, to be re duced to order in a few weeks, with the certainty of creating an immense amount of discontent. One of the rejected informs me that he is satisfied the sirs that Mr. Beckwith is co nductin g of the commission with the greatest ability, but that it will be impo ssible not to displease a large number, owing to the neglect at home.— Spring field Weekly Republican.

Hudson Esq., the breeder of Cathedral and other good horses, and is having good sport on Mr. Hudson's celebrated horse Churchyard. 100 100 100 all 100 100 THE REFORM DEMONSTRATXON. (THIS DAY.) The great political demonstration, under the auspices of the Reform League, opened with the greatest order, and from present appearances the most confident hope is entertained that all will pass off quietly and orderly. The greatest care to pre vent unnecessary obstruction has been taken, in order that no unpleasant circumstance shall mar the pleasures of the political holiday. At the Agricultural Hall the platform now oc cupies the equestrian circus or ring. On either side, where the statuary and gas and floral decora tions of the Hippodrome existed, there are other stalls, and reserved seats are to be appropriated to deputations and delegates from the country, for whose accommodation places are to be set apart, the Scotch and Irish Reform League represen tatives being specially cared for under the direction of stewards and ushers, who are to be distinguished by a white ribbon worn round the right arm. The remainder of the Hippodrome, which will afford standing space for some 3,000 or 4,000 persons, will be occupied by the heads of tie several societies, banner-bearers, and other officials and organisers of the programme, whilst the amphitheatre and galleries are to be occupied by the mass of the members of the procession and the public. There will be sufficient room, it is esti mated, and for which arrangements will be made by the erection of small platforms in the rear of the northern and southern galleries, and at the arcade entrance by Islington-green, for the accom modation of meetings to the extent of. some 3,000 or 4,000 persons each, so that in the aggregate some where from 35,000 to 40,000 persons can be accom modated within the walls of the building. The other arrangements will be carried out sub servient to the agreements which the executive of the League have entered into with the Agricultural Hall Company. Amongst other means adopted to make the objects of the League known, on Saturday last. every mem ber of the House of Lords and Commons had posted to him by book post a large quarto pamphlet, with a woodcut portrait of Mr. Beales on the cover, con taining the names and addresses of the council and executive, a list of departments and branches of the National Reform League, with the places and time of meeting, names and addresses ofisecretaries, ob jects, nda other information RUSSELL-SQUARE. In consequence of the announcements which ap peared in the papers, it was understood that the division No. 4 of the body, who, by arrangement, were to take part in the demonstration, should as. semble in the above neighbourhood at half-past one o'clock, and a large number of persons were attracted to the Square in consequence. With the exception of a few shoemakers from Nottingham, who, by the way, not having much topographical knowledge, confounded Bloomsbury-square with Russell-square, and went to the former place, the assemblage in that vicinity was very limited indeed. Up to half-past one o'clock there were not 100 people in the neighbourhood. LEICESTER-SQUARE. From twelve o'clock in the morning the square was crowded with a miscellaneous collection, all anxiously expecting to see the parties who it was supposed would be present. However, there was no arrival of processionists until very late, the arrangements appearing not to have been efficiently organised. TRAFALGAR-SQUARE. The scene presented in Trafalgar-square was ex traordinary. Hundreds of thousands of persons of all descriptions had congregated around the spot, and down the different thoroughfares leading to the Square. Up to two o'clock thousands of people were flocking to augment the large assembly. The centre of the Square was, of course, occu pied by the representatives of the Trades Unions taking part in the procession, and the lino of route along Pall-Mall, St. James's-street, &c., were lined with mounted police. The whole of the division of the procession had not arrived at two o'clock, but shortly after that hour the whole of the sections having arrived, the order was given to the procession to move. The crowd was something terrific, and when once the adventurous sight-seer became involved in it, extrication was almost impossible. The entire route from Trafalgar-square to the Agricultural Hall was lined with spectators, six or seven deep, and altogether a larger gathering of the population of the metropolis has never taken place. It exceeded the memorable demonstration in December last beyond all comparison. Queen's Speeches on Reform. Some interest is attached to the terms in which the Queen has, on so many occasions, been made to refer to Reform. In 1852 we find the following paragraph produced under the auspices of Lord Russell : " It appears to me that this is a fitting time for calmly considering whether it may not be advisable to make such amendments in the act of the late reign, relating to the representation of the Com mons in Parliameut,as may be deemed calculated to carry into more complete effect the principles upon which that law is founded. I have the fullest confi dence that iu any such consideration you will firmly adhere to the acknowledged principles of the Con stitution by which the prerogative of the Crown, the authority of both Houses of Parliament, and the rights and liberties of the people are equally secured.' l In 1854, under Lord Aberdeen, we have the fol lowing : _ _ " Recent experience has shown that it is neces sary to take more effectual precautions against the evils of bribery and corrupt practices at elections. It will also be your duty to consider whether more complete effect may not be given to the prin ciples of the act of the last reign, whereby reforms were made in the representation of the people in Parliament. In recommending this subject to your consideration, my desire is to remove every cause of just complaint, to increase general confidence in the Legislature, and to give additional stability to the settled institutions of the state." _ . In April, 1857, Lord Palmerston disposes of the matter more summarily, thus " Your attention will be called to the laws which regulate the representation of the people in Parlia ment, with a view to consider what amendments may be safely and beneficially made thereon." In 1859 we find the Earl of Derby approaching the subject in these words : " Your attention will be called to the state of the laws which regulate the representation of the people in Parliament, and I cannot but think that you will give to this great subject a degree of calm and im partial consideration proportionate to the magnitude of the interests involved in the result of your dis cussion." In 1860, under Lord Palmerston : " Measures will be laid before you for amending the laws which regulate the representation of the people in Parliament, and. for placing that repre sentation upon a broader and firmer basis." The paragraph devoted to the subject in last year's Queen's Speech was, however, perhaps the most straightforward and manly of the lot. Itran thus I have directed that information should be procured in reference to the rights of voting in the election of members to serve in Parliament for counties, cities, and boroughs. When that informa tion is complete the attention of Parliament will be called to the result thus obtained, with a view to such improvements in the laws which regulate the rights of voting in the election of members of the House of Commons as may tend to strengthen our free institutions, and conduce to the public wel fare." The catalogue is completed by the paragraph from the Speech of Tuesday : " Your attention will again be called to the state of the representation of the people in Parliament, and I trust that your deliberations, conducted in a spirit of moderation and mutual forbearance, may lead to the adoption of measures which, without unduly disturbing the balance of political power, shall freely extend the electoral franchise." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. VICTORIA CLUB—SATURDAY. More animation was visible at the clubs to-day than has previously been witnessed this year. Members assembled early, with an evident disposition to speculate. The Lin coinshiro Handicap was the first event mentioned, fo which Christmas Carol soon evinced most unhealthy symptoms, and after all sorts of prices had been laid The Carol received his quietus by 100 to 3 being laid several times, at which price ho bcame friend less. There was a commission for Bismark in the market, who soon became first favourite, while Mount Palatine retired to 20 to 1, and Saccharometer was inquired after, but no more than 100 to 8 was obtainable, and Problem was supported in a well informed quarter at 20 to 1. For the Derby Tlte Rake was firm, and after a small amount had been invested at 8 to 1, an offer to accept 850 to 100 was not responded to. Plaudit advanced for the "Guineas," 300 to 100 being accepted in ono bet.
