ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Within the last two or three days there has been a considerable increase in the demand for discount ac commodation, owing to the settlement of the account in foreign bonds and shares of all kinds. Moreover, money has been sent to the country for the protection of banks, so that they may be prepared for any contingency that may arise front Fenianism, but every confidence being reposed in the Government no material change in the ?Toney Market is likely to take place from these infl uences. Though the rates out of doors are now altno,t equal to the minimum of the Bank, the de niand after all is comparatively insignificant com pared with the available resources of bankers and bill-brokers. The Cuba has brought about £2,000 in specie from New York. There were no gold operations yesterday at the Bank of England. Notice has been given by the liquidators of the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association that a second dividend of 2s. 6d. in the pound will bo paid on Wednesday next the 20th instant, or any subse quent Wednesday. The share list of the English and French Steam for Comp any w il l b e closed on the 20th i nst. lor London, and on the 22d for country applica tions. It has been notified by Messrs. Freehling and Geschen that the Coupons of the Egyptian Go vernment Loan, 1862, due the Ist March, will be paid attheir office on any Monday, Tuesday, Thurs day-, or Friday, on and after that date. The movements of the precious metals during the past week have been on a very restricted scale. The imports have diminished to about £140,466, includ ing £l,OOO from New York by the Asia, £8,700 by the City of Boston, £64,898 by the Germania, and £2,000 by the Cuba. The Nyanza, from Alexandria, has brought £45,240; £12,028 in gold has been received from Portugal, and £6,800 in Raver from the Continent. The exports have been £73 ,600 in gold to the Brazils, and there have been remittances to the Continent through private sources estimated at £102,132 —the total amount ing to £175,732. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 420. Few securi ties quoted. Bourse agitated. On the whole the markets for stocks and shares h ave not closed unfavourably. There are instances of buo yancy —instances, also, of depression ; but in the main the tendency is encouraging, especially en account of the energetic and successful policy P11 . 1111 E 4 1 by the Government in dealing with the Fe- I nans and other disaffected persons.

A writer in the Times says :—The following details may possibly interest tho British public Baron Marochetti, it is well known, has supplied the metal and made the castings, for which he is to receive £ll,OOO. The weight of each lion is 7 tons. Sir Edwin Landseer is to receive £6,000. It is stated that a firm offered to perform Baron Marochetti's part of the work for £6,000. Whether this be so or not, I can assure you that a partner o one of the most extensive and most important engi-r neering establishments in this country, where com plicated castings of very large dimensions are con stantly made, not only of cast iron, but of the alloy of which the lions are composed, informed me that payment at the rate of ls. 2d. per lb. would be re munerative, and that he would undertake to pro duce such castings at that rate. Thus you will perceive, that £3,650 (in round numbers) would have sufficed to procure for the nation what has cost £ll,OOO. Railway and other Companies. MIDLAND. The half-yearly general meeting of this com pany was held yesterday at Derby ; Mr. W. E. Hutchinson in the chair. The report (an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun) was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the increase in the traffic amounted to the large sum of £72,000 in the half-year (this had shown itself in all the items of traffic carried on the railway). The increase would have been greater but for the disasters which occurred in the autumn of last year, these arising in consequence of the floods and the bad weather which prevailed for an unusually lengthened period. A viaduct on the Leeds and Bradford line had been destroyed, that caused an interruption of the traffic ; they had also had to deal with the embankment on the Rowsley and Buxton extension line. Their traffic had also suffered from the strikes which bad taken place at the ironworks and collieries in their districts, the results of these had been that instead of their ac counts showing a swady increase of £3,000 a week, there had been a diminution amounting in the aggregate to £lO,OOO in the last six weeks of the half-year. Their expenses had been very heavy, the proportion to the receipts being greater than usual. The cost of some of the renewals had been borne by revenue. Among the items under that head was one in way and works department amounting to £7,000 during the half-year. The locomotive expenses had been increased by running additional trains over the lines of neighbouring companies, they bad had to use the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway and others, and would of course have to pay for that accommo dation. The increase of train mileage run last half year was £500,000 miles. In reference to the loans recently raised or renewed they had not been able to borrow on such favourable terms as heretofore, but he believed that in this particular they bad done as well as their neighbours ; and but for the dis asters to which he had referred he had no doubt that they would have earned 61 per cent. The expendi ture in the half-year on capital account amounted to little short of £1,750,000 on works at present un productive; and taking into account the amount thus expended, as reported up to the end of June, 1866, the aggregate was more than £3,500,000 ; that sum had been raised by way of debentures, open stocks, and in other ways. In the half-year the interest on that amounted to £89,000 unproduc tive, which amounted to 11 per cent. on their capi tal, or 15s. per share on the half-year. lie believed that When the new lines were opened for traffic that there would be a considerable rebound in dividend, ' especially a s soo n a s the London a n d M an chest er lines were op en . Of this he took a most hopeful view. He comracladed to th e espec i al favour of the shareholders the proposed amalgamation with the Glasgow and South-Western line, which project would be attended with the greatest advantage to this company. chairm an , seconded the Mr. PRICE, the deput y _ motion for the adoption of the report. After a long discussion, in the course of which amendments were proposed, the report was adopted on a show of hands by a large majority. Dr. O'Brien demanded a poll, but it was believed that the result of the vote on the show of hands will be unchanged. The Queen is understood to be preparing a work for the press, illustrated by plates of her own execution. Mu. DICKENS was a spectator of Monday's Re- form demonstration from the balcony of the Athenaeum Club, in company with the Archbishop of York, who about a year and a half ago, denouncod the reading of novels as pernicious. • A marriage is arranged to take place between Lady Marion Loftus, daughter of the Marchioness of Ely, and Mr. Springfield, of the sth Dragoon Guards. Sir Robert and Lady Vivian have left Edwards's Royal Cambridge Hotel for Brighton. Sir John and Lady Sebright have taken a house in Grafton-stroot, where thoy have arrived from Beech wood, Hods, for tho season. PURE DENTISTRY, AND WHAT IT DOES FOR US —is the title of a very interesting little book, which has just been published by Mr. A. Eskell, of Grosvenor-street, the well-known consulting practi tioner in dentistry, and author of several important works on dental surgery. It is not a collection of fulsome puffs, tacked together and pub lished as a professional advertisement, but a useful volume, overflowing with valuable advice as to the preservation of the teeth. The great object of the work is to show how much the state of the mouth and teeth affects the general health, and as the lan guage used is devoid of technicalities every person once taking up the book cannot replace it on the table without obtaining much useful information. There are chapters on the mouth and teeth, pre servation, and extraction, imperfect remedies, tartar and its extirpation, the scaling operation, the conditions requisite to the safe and effectual per formance of the operation, and various other mat ters all tending to the preservation of the teeth. The best test of the utility of the book is the fact that the first edition was exhausted before any thing like the demand could be met. The author in the new edition has made certain additions to that originally published, and those who desire in formation on the subject of teeth cannot fail to fil it in Ur, B3kell'o little book.

FALSE WEIGHTS, &C.—Sixty-one tradespeople in the South of London wero on Wednesday fined at the Newington petty session for the possession and use of false weights and measures. The fines varied in amount from ss. to £5, some of the heavier penalties being inflicted for second and third offences,iustances of this kind numbering 12 in all. One case respecting which there was some doubt was adjourned. In ono case, the defence was set up that short weights wore used for pressing skins and leverage, but neither to buy in nor to sell, and the exemption of French weights was sought. Among other extreme cases may be mentioned, one in which a nail was attached to a coal scale-plate, on which was hung a 141 b. weight ; and the scales were Ib. against the customer.—South London cltropicle, 107 110. .23 121 101 11 of 37 39 4 18 104 10) 63 G 5 99 101 33 SG 10 11 p 'lB 122 2p 1 2p 7 , / 72 115 120 148 15:: 47 11 ;0 71 9 10 155 ;6u 3 4; , S lONS. 56 58 100 101 }d } p 4 4} 7a tif 50 55 101 103 101 103 106 107 21 22 85 88 57 59 53 54 52 51 37 (0 23, 25 IN KG i 1 ! 4 1I 100 102 91 9.3 124 131 le 121 F , B 92 81 84 I} I 100 102 1 92 04 85 90 82 85 97 9) 97 93 1 9/ 98 T SEC UR, 09 101, 1.8 100, 100 102 8 i F 7 8k 85 10: 104 104 106 103 105 101 lu3 DO n 10.1 103 IL6 h 8 102 101 103 105 103 106 105 107 08 110 95 07 91 US 85 6 9J 101 .b 4 85 96 98 91 93 105 106 107 IG9 8 9 7 8 400 410 1 11 22 24 5 6 3 31 2 3 6 U 10 21 24 5 6 13 17 161 11 18 1 31 1 1 21 Si 7 9 31 41 21 11,1 35 45 11 13 41 51 2t 31 26 k 8 310 330 3i 4} 33 14 10 12 61 63 130 140 65 75 25 28 10 12 105 115 10 12 Mk 8 k SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The little work is to be called ' A British Friendship;' it is full of reminiscences not only of India, but also of Christ Church days, when those two great raen and the late Lord Dalhousie were all at Oxford together. It is understood that this is Miss Martineau's last literary leaflet.' " A POLYGLOT PARLIAMENT.—A curious circum stance was noticed at the recent meeting of the Diet of the Grand Duchy of Finland. After the governor had read the opening speech in the Russian language, the Senator Peter son gave it in Swedish and Finnish. The marshal of the country replied in the name of the nobility, and the arch bishop to that of the clergy in French ; the speaker of the citizen class in Swedish, and that of the peasants in Finnish, MA: SPORT ING INTELLIGENCE.—_..—...... —_, r ....„_ This Day. VICTORIA CLUB-TH/S DAY. A large muster to-day was present, and business was remarkably brisk. The Lincoln Handicap, however, al most entirely engrossed attention. Beadle was in immense request, but scarcely more so than Mr. Allan, which had the effect of weakening Bismarck's position, and Leases gradually advanced and eventually aftertouched 10 to 1, whil e L a d y Pam was often inquired , and supported her quoted price. Mount Palatine and Problem were made the medium of such hostility that both gradually retired, while the formers stable companion Vandervelde was eagerly sought after, and as little as 100 to 6 a t one time, though 25 t o 1 was sul-4- sequently to bo obtained. Problem would appear to b e hopelessly gone, for no backer could be found to take 66 to 1.

Both crews are practising daily, and exhibiting marked improvement, but the Cantabs are not making so rapid a progress towards proficiency as the Oxonians. The Can tabs still possess the advantage of having four men in th% boat this year who rowed so gallantly in the University race at Putney last season, viz., Mr. W. B. Griffiths, of Trinity, the old stroke oar ; Mr. 11. Fortescue, of Magda lene, No. 4. ; Mr. Still, of Gains, bow; and Mr. J. U. Bourke, of Trinity, No. 3. The Oxonians are labouring under considerable disadvantage in this respect, as there aro two of the gentlemen of the last triumphant crow to take their places in the boat at the forthcoming contest—Mr. F. Willan, of Exeter College, the president, who rowed No. 4, and M. W. Wood, of University, No. 6. The crew has co deplore the loss of Mr. M. Brown, of Trinity, who rowed the stroke oar so effectively last year, and during the whole of the "coach ing" this term it is much to be regretted that the president has not been assisted by any old university oarsman, ex cepting an occasional look in from Mr. G. Morrison, but has had the onerous task thrown upon him of doing the whole of the work, including the great responsibility of choosing a new stroke, besides which he and Mr. Wood are prevented from entering the boat for practice., as there has been no ono else to look after the crew. However equal these gentlemen may have shown themselves to the emergency, it is to be hoped that they will be relieved from a position so detrimental to the success of the crew.

A CHEAP BAROMETER.--•A countryman in the neighbourhood of York has discovered a natural barometer, being no other than the spider's web. When it is about to rain and be windy, the spider shortens con siderably the last thread to which his web is suspended, and leaves it in this state while the weather remains vari able. If the insect lengthens its threads it will be fine, and the fineness may be guessed by the length they attain to. If the spider remains inactive, it is a sign of rain; if, on the contrary, it begins to work while it rains, it be tokens a speedy change for the better. The spider alters his web every 24 hours, and if these alterations are made a little before sunset the night will be fine. — The Queen. q e bo u d e lt y st U o i ll a N s v ill m h G e . ld s p in a n i t:C l :h a a g A t e h N d a D m 22 S,oUanDWednesdayDprivateEN DEATH.—Anthe n on h Regi ment, Bombay Infantry.
