MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAC 'INTELLIGENCE, TWELVB O'CLOCK. In the general discount market to-day the trans actions have been limited, and the rates remain steady. There, was an influx of £7,000 at the Bank of England oil Saturday afternoon. Notice has been given that it is necessary the holders of Exchequer Bills, dated 11th March, 1862, who desire to have them exchanged for new bills, Should deposit them with the Bank of England to day. Altssrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received a remittance on account of the New Granada Debt of i 1,560 11s. 101 from the Custom House of Cartagena. The progress of business in the manufacturing districts during the past week has been very in active, and little improvement can be reported. At Manchester cloths and yarns have barely maintained former prices, although manufacturers and spinners do not press sales. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield only a moderate in quiry has prevailed for goods suitable for immediate home requirements. The hosiery and lace depart ments of Leicester and Nottingham have remained without change of importance, while at Bir►ning ham dullness has been the prevailing feature in most departments. The iron trade of Wolverhampton and its immediate neighbourhood, however, has shown symptoms of improvement, and the opera tives generally are now well employed. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have declined 1, to 29 31, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bondi 1, to 231 241. The Marequeta and New Granada Mining Com pany (Limited) have received advices, of which the following is an abstract :—" Santa Anna Mines for the month of December. Amount of ore produced for amalgamation, 50 tons. No profit and loss ac count receive]. The Superintendent writes under date January 22, 1867 :—Mines. I despatch by the present mail an - average sample of the lode on the 120 stopes. I also send you some specimens from the veins in the lode. The vein of red silver ore is on the eastern wall, and appeared first in the back stopes south. It has widened considerably, and appears now in No. 1 slope north, nearly a foot in width. The stones of grey silver and pyrites ars also from the eastern wall of stope No. 2. These veins would seem to confirm the general opinion that silver lodes increase in richness in depth. The new skips are now working well. Marmato mines for the month of December, 1866, cost $9,400 ; returns, $10,567. Less gold was produced during this month, owing to the mineral having been of poorer quality, and the Christmas holidays and the shortness of Water during repairs to San Josye Acequia. The chief mechanic writes, under date 12th January, 1867, Aquas Claras.—" The barrel machinery is very nearly ready. I sincerely hope that we shall be able to begin to reduce mineral before this time next month." Two o'CLoc z. According to Renter's telegram from Paris to - day, the French Rentes were TOf. 27c. Very firm. The market for Consols continues to vary about per cent. each day, and the tendency on the whole is distinctly towards firmness. The latest quota tions this afternoon show an advance to the frac tional extent already mentioned, as they are now 91 money and March account, and 91k for April account.

April Settlement LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Beforo Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) GAY V. PICARD. This was a writ of ejectment under which the plaintiff sought to recover possession of a certain coffee-shop. Mr. Steadman appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Green re presenting defendant. It appeared that plaintiff had taken the premises in 18G3 under an agreement that the rent was to be £3 Os. Bd. per month, payable monthly, with a month's notice, such notice to be put in force unless the defendant failed to pay the rent or conducted the house in an improper manner. Defendant's counsel called upon Mr. Steadman to produce the agreement, but Mr. Steadman said the document he held was simply a counterpart of which defendant had the original. After some delay, and the production of a wrong agreement, defendant's counsel produced the original, which fully made out the defendant's case. It was contended that so long as the defendant paid the rent and conducted the house properly, she was a yearly tenant, and _there fore must have more than a month's notice. His Honour ruled that the tenantcy was monthly, and that a proper notice had been given. The defendant must move out in ten days. Mr. Green asked if he could not appeal ? His Honour—ln this court there is no appeal in eject ment cases nor yet in equity. The usual order was then made. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ABUSING THE KINDNESS OF THE GUARDIANS OF ST. GEORGE'S, HANOVER-SQUIRE.—Thomas Wood, an inmate of the workhouse of St. George, Hanover-square, Mount street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a suit of clothes of the value of £2 Os. 3d., the property o f the guardians of the poor of St. George's, Hanover-square. Robert Plowright, porter at the workhouse, said that on the 30th January the prisoner, who was an inmate of the workhouse, went out wearing a new suit of clothes and nothing more was seen of him till Saturday evening last, when ho came to the workhouse and asked to be ad mitted as a tramp. He was admitted, and afterwards given into custody by order of the master. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness stated that when ho asked the prisoner what he had done with the clothes he made no reply. Mr. George Cole, the master of the workhouse, explained that the guardians provided each of the inmates with a respectable suit of clothes, different to the usual work house clothing,:that when they went to visit their friends it should not be known they worn inmates of a workhouse. On asking the prisoner what he had done with the clothes ho stated that he got drunk and lost them. Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho had no doubt the prisoner had pledged the clothes, and he would remand him to give an opportunity of making inquiries respecting them. THAMES. AUDACIOUS ROBBERY.—James Newel], aged IG, and William Key, 15, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing a coat, the property of Mr. William Ribinseu, of the 'ran-yard, Barkingside, Essex. On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Robinson, a laundress,- and the wife of the proSecutor came to town with her horSeand cart on business, and stopped at the house of a tradesman in the Mile-end-road. While she was in the shop of the tradesman, a girl, named Mary Ann Evans, saw the pri soners approach Mrs. Robinson's horse and cart, recon noitre, and take Mr. Robinson's coat off the horse. The girl immediately raised an alarm, and the boys ran away in opposite directions. Key handed the coat to Newell, who ran down White Horse-lane with it, and in the course of his flight put it on. He was pursued and overtaken. He tried to pull off Mr. Robinson's coat and throw it a ray. Ho was prevented and brought back to the Mile-end-road, where his confederate was in custody in a corn chandler's shop. The ease was clearly made out against the prisoners, and the stolen coat was produced and identified by Mr. Robinson. The prisoners pleaded guilty, and said it wls their first offence. Mr. Paget said the robbery was committed with all the dexterity and cunning generally displayed by old and practised thieves. The robbery waa a most audacious one. He sentenced the prisoners to be imprisoned for six months in the Honso of Correction, and kept to hard labour. A DRTJNKEI'Q " LADY."—A very showy-dressed woman, young and pale, who gave the name of Eilen Peterson, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. Mr. Paget asked the prisoner who she was and where she lived. The prisoner holding down her head replied, I am a lady Mr. Paget —A lady I and found in a public street drunk and incapable of taking care of yourself. Whew do you live ? The prisoner said sho was the landlady of tho Grapes public-house in the Minories. Mr. Paget said it was most disgraceful to hear of a woman being found in such a condition, exposing herself to danger, and holding out a temptation to dishonest per sons to rob her. If she had not been arrested by the police and locked up, she would have been soon plun dered of all her finery, lace and silks. Ile was very sorry ho had not the power of punishing drunken persons by imprisonment instead of inflicting a pena lty. The prisoner's conduct was most scandalous and reprehensible, but all he could do was to fine her ss. Mrs. Peterson paid the fine and was liberated. WESTMINSTER. AN AWKWARD DISCOVERY. —Edward Gledhill, a privato of the Grenadier Guards, was charged with being found in the house of a gentleman for an unlawful purpose. Mr. Joseph Lovegrove, of 20, Grove-place, Brompton, said that at half-past eleven on Saturday night ho heard a noise iu the lower part of his house, and on going down and making a search found the prisoner concealed in-A back lUmber-room behind somo boxes. lie gave defendant into custody for being thorn with intent to commit a rob bery, and when at the station defendant said the servant had lot him in at the front door. Mr. Selfo suggested that military men occasionally paid visits to houses stealthily, without intending anything felonious. Mr. Lovegrove replied that ho found upon subsequent inquiry that the defendant had seduced his servant, who now refused to come forward. He had been in the habit of annoying her of late. Defendant—l have been there very often. I have stopped there a fortnight at a time. Mr. Lovegrove observed that all this was new to him. Ile was not aware of the soldier's visits. Mr. Selfo—And did not allow of such a follower? Mr. Lovegrove—Certainly not. Mr. Selfe—lt is quite certain that although the d )fon dant's presence there was very unjustifiable, ho cannot be charged with being there for the purpose of committing a felony. Defendant's sergeant said that his conduct was irregular as a soldier, but he did not think he would be guilty of dis honesty. Defendant—l thought I had leave to be there ; I always understood I had. Mr. Selfe—You could not have thought that, or you would not have been concealed. You would have boon enjoying yourself in the kitchen. Defendant was dismissed. LIVERPOOL COTTQN MARKET. (This Day.) The Market opens steady. Sales probably 10,000 bales. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday at the t,fficial residence of tho First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-street.

Most of the couutry markets held on Saturday wore steady for wheat, at full prices, although the supplies were rather on the increase. Barley and most other kinds of produce moved off slowly, at barely previous -rates. The Continental markets have shown more firmness for wheat, but the transactions in it for spring shipment have been rather limited. American advices bring lower rates for both wheat and flour. The imports of foreign and colonial grain, Sm., into London last week comprised 23,274 quarters of wheat, 19,931 Larl.r, 20 beans, 4,130 tares, i-55 linseed, 21,330 inpeseed, 1,238 maize, 1,433 E undr ies, 4,799 sacks, and 33 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat on sale at our market, to day, was very moderate, but there was a decided improve ment in the condition of the samples. At the commerce went of business factors held both red and white qualities at an advance in price from Monday last ; Lut millers showed no disposition to respond to such a movement. hence the market became very quiet, and sales progtessed slowly, at previous quotations. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat. The amount of business transacted was rather limited; nevertheless, prices ruled firm. There was an improved demand for floating cargoes o grain, at quite lato rates. Tho supply of English barley on sale was only mode rato ;of foreign, good. The trade for all qualities was dull, and prices declined is. per qr. Malt was in limited request, at fully the late decline in the quotations. A fair supply of oats was upon the stands.

Grey peas were firm in price, but for other qualities the trade ruled quiet, on forme' terms. The market was but mo'ierately supplied. The flour trade was very quiet. Linseed and rape seed were steady at previous quotations. Sound Calcutta rape is very scarce. There was a steady demand for %lover seed at full prices In other seeds a fair business was doing..

There was rather a large supply of foreign boasts on sale here to-day, chiefly in middling condition. The show of foreign sheep was moderate, and calves limited. The de mand was inactive, and prices had a drooping tendency. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our grazing dis tricts were on the increase, and in good saleable condition. The supply from Scotland was only moderate, but very prime; whilst the receipts from Ireland was limited. Not withstanding the prevailing cold weather, the demand for all breeds of beasts was very inactive, at a decline in the quotations of 2d. per 81bs. The general top figure was 5s 2d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1,500 Scots, crosses, and Short horns; from other parts of England, GOO various breeds; from Scotland, 234 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 100 oxen, dc. The supply of sheep was on the increase ; whilst most breeds arrived of full averaga weight. The demand for even the primest Downs, &0., *as slow, and the prices realised on Monday last were with' difficulty supported. The highest quotation was Gs 21 per 81bs. The few lambs on offer sold slowly at 8s per 81bs. There was a fair demand for calves, at full prices, viz., os to Gs per 81bs. The supply was limited.

The racing last week was scarcely above mediocrity; but the Nottingham Race Committee deserve the highest encomiums for the extensive improvements they have made throughout the Grand Stand and Betting enclosure, which, combined with the surounding scenery, now makes it one of the finest Courses in the country. The Liverpool Meeting extends to four days, in con sequence of the Grand Military Races taking place over the Aintree Course on Thursday and Friday. Five of Tuesday's engagemen►ts out of no loss than eight, which appear in the programme, are complete for analysis. As is usually the, case, there is no public guide to the winner of the Tyro Stakes, only one of the sixteen nominations having yet faced the starter's flag. It may not be•uninteresting to note how many different sires are represented- anpngsk the entries, viz., Trumpeter, Loup Garou, CaraetaCns, Stockwell, Dundee, High Treason Amsterdam, !Kiri& ' of Kars, Neville, Van Galen, Thor manby, Vedette, To wer, The Prime Minister, and Mildew,; in fact, with the exception of Lord Coventry's two, all are by different stallions. Having heard favourable ac counts of SEDELLA and Mu. MERRY'S REPRESENTATIVE, i I think they will be found most trustworthy. It looks any odds on CROWN PRINCE or LA MAUDITE for the' Aintree Plato, and unless Lady Pam should be brought out one of L Westmorland's three— INDIAN STAR, ULPUus, or the Rocx—is bound to win the Mersey Cup. The Annual Hurdle Handicap has 42 horses engaged, of which the most favourably handicapped - appear to be Fortunatus, Helen, Brahma, Real Jam, Fan, and Lord Coventry's pair. Should FAN not be reserved for the Grand National, I have the most fancy for her; next to whom REAL JAM and Lord Coventry's representa tive must do battle for me. So much depends upon the start for the Spring Flying Stakes tint it is next to an impossibility to hazard a successful conjecture; but if FLYING JIB, who won this race with only 81b. less on her back last year, gets well off, she ought to be about winning, although WISEMAN is almost equally well in. There is any quantity of sport set aport set down for Wednesday, the all important event of the meeting, the world-renowned Grand National Steeplechase, having to be decided on that day. Out of the acceptances, although several of them have already paid forfeit, there will doubt less be an unusual number of starters paraded before the Earl of Sefton, who officiates on such occasions. My impression is that many of the runners will only assist to swell the field, and are not at all likely to interfere with the result. At any rate, the underneath list contains all those animals whose chances I think it necessary to dis rate, and are geting into faster and longer work. Dragon for the last day or two has not done quite so much as pre viously, but is exceedingly well, as are also Enchanteur Cerf Volant, and Trocadero, the last trio doing over a mile and a quarter gallops. Ariel, Montagnard, Auguste, and Plutus do very little at present. Jasper, Camilla, Falkenstein, Tounnalin, Lothario, and Bippia are bowling along merrily ; and Tormentor is taking the Duke of York a mile and a half each morning. CUSS :- HORSE. age st lb RIDER.

Astrolabe is honoureti-fwith top weight, but her perfoi marcod abroad and her running at Croy.lon in the Grand Metropolitan Steeplechases with Globule last winter certainly entitle her to the distinction, and I quite expect, if tho ground contiLues in good order, to see her obtain a situation, if not the place of honour, Hall Court is no fancy of mine. Cortolvin has been backed 'for large sums of money, and from his running last year will take a great deal of beating, but the 71b additional weight on his back to what he then carried is not likely to improve his chance. Globule will take a deal of beating. The Plover I know 'nothing about. Shakspere and Dermot Asthore will both run, though they represent the same interests. The former is evidently the " intended" of the stable, which his antecedents warrant him in being, but it is as well to have " two strings to a bow," and should any mishap befal the the latter will be favourably heard of in the race. Ligbtheart and Glasgow belong to Mr. A. W. Clayton, and the selected one of the pair will, I expect, turn out the best outsider in the race. The first named horse ran fourth, carrying 41b more for this event last March, and if his stable companion should prove the real " Simon Pure," he will take a great deal of beating. It should not be forgotten that he won the Hunt Cup Steeplechase in a canter from Sprite at the Warwick November Meeting in 1865, when only 4 yrs old, and he is well bred enough, by De Clare out of Miss Whip, for anything. Balham will not do in this com pany. Mr. Studd's lot are Shangarry, Clansman, De spatch (h b), and Sensation (h b), but I think only the CREWKERNE winner and Clansman aro likely to repre sant his interests on the day. Of the two I have a decided preference for Shangarry, who reads very dangerous. Mr. Studd naturally grumbled, before the Grand . Na tional was run last year, at the weight put on Salamander, in comparison with Creole, Merrimac, and one or two other public performers; but this journey he might have been asked to handicap for himself. Of Little Frank the most favourable reports continue to reach me, and I should ad vise him to bo kept on the right side; at the same time, he will probably find this company too good for him. Sea King will, of course, run f-r Mr. Brayley, as Ibex is doing very little work. His Majesty ran very badly at Birming ham the other day; still, if any demonstration should be made on his behalf, it would not sarprise me to see 'him at the winner's heels. My information leads me to suppose that The Doctor will do battle for Lord Co ventry's stable, and be ridden by George Stevens, whole fine riding is sure to make him figure conspicuously in the van. Havelock, after running at Birmingham, looked like starting one of the favourites, but no one will have him after his refusal to jump at Lincoln. It is not yet decided who is to have the mount. With a resolute jockey up, however, his chance is by no means a forlorn one. Silver Star is not likely to shine here ; but I think King Arthur hal , a,great chance. Fan has come with a rattle in'the market, and, backed as she evidently is by her' astute owner, is likely to prove very dangerous. The,, Du,ke belongs to the Earl of Eglinton, and all I can say about him is, that his lordship's success would be enthusi astically welcomed by all classes of sportsmen, in memory of old times. Having gone into these details, let me con clude by choosing Shakspeare, Globule, Shangarry, and Fan to beat the field, and finally, to anticipate the judge's decision, I will place S HAKSPEARE S HANGARRY.... FAN It is impossible to say which of his lot will be brought out for The Sefton Handicap by the Earl of Westmorland, but it seems a good thing for ono or two of this division. The Welter Cup should go to BRIMSTONE or BRICK. The other races on the same day are not worth interfering with. ~... 2 The Steeplechase Handicap on Thursday depends 4,0 tench upon previous funning for me to hazard a conjectur, about, so I shall at once turn my attention to the Liverpool Spring Cup, run 'the same day. Honesty will beat all the top weights; Dulcimer and Mrs. Allan aro best in of the middle division; and Chance and Foresight of the 3-yr olds. Of course a great deal depends upon the intentions of owners. A FRESH MAN. NOTES I ROM TRAINING QUARTERS. (THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET. We have bad nice refreshing rains, but the weather is very cold.

Admiral Rous having given notice that the "Soiled Dove" bets 1611 come before the committee at Tattersall's to-day, appended are the names of those noblemen and gentlemen who belong to it, and whose decision will settle this knotty q . ueetion:— His Grace the D u ke of Beau- fort. Ilis Grace the D uke of New castle. *The Earl of Chesterfield. The Earl of eovoutry. The Earl of Westmoreland. Viscount Exmouth. Lord Frederick Fitzroy. _Hun. Col. Henry Forrester. Hon. Admiral lbus. H. Lowther, 1,3.3 q. Cr. Higgins, Esq. G. Payne, Esq. '• Captain 13atchelor. * We cannot ascertain who has been nominated by the committee in the place of the late Earl of Chesterfield. " Argus," of the. Morning Post, writing on the above subject, says :—"This case comes on before the committee at Tattersall's this afternoon, when that body of noble men and gentlemen have been summoned to decide the question of how the bets shall go, and whether the prece dents of the Bloodstone and Running Rein cases shall be followed. The interest created by the question cannot be exaggerated, and it is to be hoped that the most earnest de liberation will be given to its consideration, as the decision to which the committee may come will be a ruling one for ages. It is therefore devoutly to be wished that the point be not settled in an off-hand way, like the case of a horse going the wrong side of the post, or a dispute as to the weight of a bridle, or an animal carrying a few pounds more or less in a race, but that it bo approaclied free of all prejudice, and argued fairly and calmly, so that when the committee give in their report the public mind may be satisfied it has not been hastily arrived at, but that both sides of the question have been impartially considered. From the fact of some members of the committee having bets on the race, and declining in consequence, to act upon it, it is feared the task of discussing the case will be left in too few hands to give weight to their award. But if over there was an occasion fora full court this I conceive to be one, mil in fact the court should sit in Banco. Upon the point at issue I will give no opinion myself, because it is so intricate that no one under the grade of a Vice- Chancellor should approach it. But I will endeavour to give publicity* , to the views of both the Ministerialists as well as the Opposition, as it is only fair that both should have-the opportunity of having their sentiments made known. Well, then, Admiral Rous contends that Rule No. I in c The Laws of Betting' cannot be considered as appli cable to the Soiled Dove case. Now this said rule, I should tell my readers, expresses what has hitherto been the generally received opinion from time out of mind, that every maker of a bet must have a charice given Lim of win ning. In short, you cannot win where you cannot lose. On the other hand, it is contended by the division that uufor tnnately backed Soiled Dove in her various races, that they had no chance of winning. In support of their views they maintain that the very instant the layer of the odds to them had booked their bet, the money was legally won. To this, on the other hand, Admiral R has replied that as there was a possibility of Sandi Dive's Winaiug, aa 1 on three or four occasions her backers did rieJive upon her, they should now pay when she was legally disquali fied. Now this reads very well upon paper, but the Op position urge that if this argument be it valid one, then rule Ne. 1 is of no effect; and they would like to know what case it could meet, if it did not apply to this one. The object of framing rules of bettieg is to give both par ties an equal chance, and to prevent the unwary from falling a victim to the experienced.gamblen But if the Admiral's ruling of the clause in question. be correct, then a man like General S. could sell a mare like Soiled Dove to Mr. A. or some confederate, and; after running her over tne country, and at Newmarket, under the Admiral and the Secretary of the Jockey Club's nose (and her running there would be considered by the innocent public as investing her with a title as clear as that of au estate settled under the Court of Chancery), wait until a fitting opportunity arrived of putting his scheme into operation. Having found, the pear ripe, and the mare sufficiently installed in the confidence of the public, he puts her into a small stake wherein ho knows the animals she will meet. Having only gone a series of trial trips,' she gets in very light and is made a great favourite. This is what he has been waiting for, and availing himself of the golden opportunity, he lays, through a friend, GOO to 400 against her, and takes the odds to a hundred porta& about the legitimate animal he fears most. The race comes off, and Soiled Dove comes in first and the other animal second. Then follows the notice of objection, the mare is disqualified, and the author of the fraud is per mitted to receive the four hundred which he won through his confederate, as well as the odds he took about the second. If neither wins, he pockets the difference and hopes for better luck another time. New, against such a case as this surely the public have a right to bi protected; and yet, by Admiral Rous's showing of the rule - iti question, they are not to be defended. The Admiral asks them why should the betters be sacrificed? To which the other side replies by demanding why the backers should be served so, as well as the innocent public, who have backed an ani mal passed by the Jockey Club itself. Is there, they say, and with great truth, one law for bettors and another for backers? and if either party is to be favoured to the detri ment of the other, surely the backer, who has only one string to his bow, is to be favoured in preference to the bettor, who has several, and who also may, with the con tingency of fraud in his view, shorten his odds. It will thus be seen the question is ono of a most delicate nature, as well as of grave importance, and when the - conirnittee before whom it conies reflect that there is scarcely a town in the United Kingdom but is interested in their de(Asiou, I am sure they will not be in a hurry tai pronounce upon it, but take such counsel as will set the disputed point for ever at rest, for it is certain to be arinost important prece dent." The question of the Soiled . Dove bets 'come before the committee at Tattersall's to-day. Slender was sold to Mr. Bilham - for 90 guineas, after winnirg the Great Western Plate, at West Drayton.
