MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Gold is still arriving in large quantities from Australia and other sources of supply, and it is ac cumulating at the Bank because the export demand for the metal, as also for silver, is unusually small. Nor does there appear to be any contingency likely to reverse this state of affairs for some time to come. Tile balance of trade is in favour of this country, the exchanges are almost stationary, and in the principal money markets of Europe the rates for discount are almost uniform, the average lowest quotations being as follows :—London, 2- 1 ; Paris, 2 ; Frankfort, 21 ; Hamburg, 21 ; Berlin, 21 ; Amsterdam, 2i ; and Brussels, 2- per cont. It will be seen that the differences are so sight as to render the transmission of bullion to the Continent an unprofitable operation. 14 the Discount Market to-day there is no per ceptible change beyond a slight increase in the de mand in connection with the settlement in foreign bonds and the various classes of shares, but the effect of this will be of a transient character. The inquiry, though a little larger, is still very moderate, and the terms for accommodation are as easy as ever. With reference to the Venezuela Loan of 1864 the General Credit and Discount Company Limited, have given notice that against the half- Year's interest (at the rate of £3 per cent.) due Ist April, 1867, on the bonds of the above loan, a part Payment out of the funds q ln hand at the rate of .78. 6d. p er cent., will be made on and after Tuesday, 23d A pr il (Saturdays excepted), at the temporary offices of the company, 27, Austinfriars. The Red Jacket, from Australia, has brought £ 6 6,000 in gold. An influx of £lOl,OOO in gold took place at the Bank of England yesterday, together with an efflux of American eagles to the amount of £l,OOO. The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the third week in March amounted to $ 1 16,134, against $93,762 in the cor l'esponding peri o d l ast year, showing an increase of $ 22 ,372. In the report of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance, to be presented at the meeting on the 30th instant, the directors congratulate the pro prietors on the successful completion of the con tion tracts taken during the past year, and in addi to the 6 00 miles of submarine cables the aid d own by th e company they have during Year manufactured and submerged 2,167 miles of cable. After reserving the sum of £lO,OOO for maintenance of the Malta and Alexandria Tele graph there remains a balance of profit of £122,426 Os. 5d., from which is deducted the sum of £13,213 125., the interim dividend of 2} per cent. paid to the p ropr i etors to June 30th, 186 or 6 , leavi ng t h e sum of £109,212 Bs. sd. f disposal, which the directors propose to appropriate as follows :---To pay to the pro prietors the balance of interest on capital at 5 per ce nt.) £15,246 155., and a further dividend at 5 per Cent, per annum, £30,529 10s., making up 10 per Cent, Per annum (free of income-tax), and out of the reserved fund a sum of £35,328 19s. 4d., which Will at once increase that fund to the maximum amount of £50,000 mentioned in Article 8 of the articles of association, and to carry £28,089 4s. ld. to next year's profit and loss account. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets durin g the last few days there has been very little animation. The operations on tea having been Postponed until the public sales, which commence to-d ay. Sugar has remained without any material alteration in value, while superior qualities of coffee h ave maintained full rates. Tallow has been neglected, and quotations for present and forward delivery are a shade lower. At the adjourned meeting, held to-day, of the Oriental Mutual Steam Company the report and statement of accounts for the year ending the 30th Se p te mber, t 1866, was su b m i tted. It was stated thhat the g ross receipts of the steamers, exclusive of voyages made on th e r i ver Jhelum, amount to , 17s. 5d., against £37,651 lls. 9d. in the Year 1 864-5, g i v i ng an increase of £16,699 ss.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justices Shoe, Blackburn, and Lush.) GREEN T. WALKER. In this case Mr. F. Pollock, Q.C., asked for a role for a new trial, on the part of the rector of Lower Tooting. lie stated that it was a case which had been hoard before Mr. Justice Shee in Middlesex, when a verdict was found for the defendant. The sum to be recovered was 30 guineas, and it was incurred in the interest of Miss Ambrook, a lady who had been buried, under unusual circumstances, in the Lower Tooting graveyard. On the part of the plaintiff it was alleged that this sum of 30 guineas was the correct amount of fees duo for the interment of Miss Ambrook, on the ground that there was no legal right to bring it in without the consent of the rector; and the fact that they had asked permission if the rector should assent or consent on their part to pal or on the part of the executors the customary burial fee. The Lord Chief-Justice asked whether there was as slut or consent on the part of the executors, and if they luta authitutiud put thia.sivu it Trvuhl csboucr that tlivro had boon assent ou their part. Mr. Pollock said such was the case, and the Court granted leave to move for a new trial. The business in the other courts was devoid of public interest.

A concert room, for smaller numbers, is contemplated in one, and a theatre in the other of the smaller transepts ; besides ample space provided for various amusements in other parts of the building and its grounds, as well as not forgetting that all-important desideratum—a well-con structed and equally well-supplied refreshment slepartment. Such an enterprise is, without doubt, worthy of those who conceived it, and are rapidly carrying it out to completion ; and it is only to be hoped that those who have its conduct entrusted to them will prove themselves worthy, by the judicious character of their administration, of the noble enterprise entrusted to their keeping.—Observer.

The market opens with a fair inquiry. Sales probably 10,000 bales. VOLUNTEER CONTEST.—The second " Wemyss" match of the London Scottish Rifles for 1867 took place on Saturday last, against the St. George's corps, on the ranges of the latter, at Wormwood Scrubs. The match was be tween ten officers, ten non-commissioned officers, and ten privates of each regiment, seven shots each, at 209, 50J, and 609 yards, and was was by the London Scottish with a urijority of 116 marks. The total scores wore—London I Scottish, 1,31 6 ; and St. GJorge's, 1,200. The day was r wet, and a strung head wind, with occasional gusts from the loft, rendered the shooting at times very difficult. Ducar OF LlNcAsrzn.---Tne accounts of the. Duchy of Lancaster show that in the year 1836 the pay ment to the Keeper of her Majesty's Privy Purso was . £29,000, an increase of £3,000 over the payment of the previous year. The routs received amounted to £30,856, an increase of £4,500 over the receipt of 1865. This was partly counterbalanced by a receipt of less by £3,000 from wood sales and escheats; but, on tho other aide of the account, the payment for the restoration of the Savoy Chapel, which was £4,453 in 186.5, was only £829 in 1866. The salaries and other disbursements of an ordinary cha racter amounted to £13,211, not differing materially from the charge in 1865. The chief receipt on the capital ac count was £4,481 from the corporation of Salford for the purchase of the tolls of the markets and fairs of that borough. ACTS OF PARLIAMENT.—The number of Acts passed in the present Session, which commenced on the sth of February, to the adjournment for the Easter recess, on the 12th instant, was 24, of which ten were public and 14 local. QUEEN VICTORIA'S DESCENDANTS.—The birth of a son to the Princess Christian on Sunday raises the total of her Majesty's grandchildren to ten—six grandsons and four granddaughters. The Princess of Prussia has three eons and a daughter, the Prince of Wales two sons and a daughter, the Princess Louis of Hosse two daughters, and the Princess Christian one son. CANNING'S STATUE. —This statue, by Westma cott, in New Palace-yard, Westminster, will, in the course of a day or two, be removed from its prssont site (the spot on which it stands being required by the Metropolitan Railway) to an obscure vacant piece of ground in the rear, near the Westminster Sessions-house. ICEBERGS.—Hobart Town, Feb. 23.—The Har rowby, from London, reports that on Feb. 5, in lat. 45 S. long. 127 E., she passed a large number of icebergs, ono of them two miles long; afterwards sailed through two miles of block ice drifting N.N.W., the ice continuing in sight for 24 hours. THE JAPANESE TROUPE AT WINDSOR CASTLE. —Yesterday the birthday of her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice was celebrated by the Queen and members of the royal family now at Windsor Castle. For the amusement of the younger portion of the guests, the Japanese troupe of jugglers were engaged, by command of her Majesty. The Japanese left London by the 10.50 a.m. train from Waterloo, on the South Western line, and on arriving at Windsor, proceeded to the Castle, where they had the honour of performing before the royal children and Court in the course of the afternoon. The Japanese were accom panied by Mr. Mitchell, Mr. E. Prior, Mr. W. drant, and their general manager, Mr. A. Nimmo. A " Big" SNOWSTORM. --A Detroit paper gives the following statistics of a recent snow stdrm in the United States. . The storm extended over a district of 1,500 miles long and 300 miles wide, and the average depth of the snow was /ft. It estimates the weight of five tons to the acre, or 3,200 tons to the square mile, or a grand total of 1,410,000,000 tons of snow, which is ten times the weight of all the wheat grown in the United States since the discovery of America, and this great weight of snow, says the paper, fell in one storm, one vast cloud, and within a period of four days only. THE LIBRARIANSHIP OF THE HOUSE OF COM MONS.-It is reported that this post, vacant by the death of Mr. Vardon, will be given by the Speaker, who holds the nomination, to his brother, Mr. Alfred Denison, who has for some time been his secretary. The salary is £l,OOO a year, with a residence in the Palace. A MAN KILLED BY HIS WIFE.—An inquest was held on Saturday, at Etruria, Staffordshire, on the body of James Cliffe, who was killed under circumstances already detailed in the papers. The evidence showed that a quarrel took place between the deceased and his wife, in the course of which the latter struck her husband over the head with a hammer inflicting such injuries as resulted in his death a few days afterwards. The jury found a ver dict of " Manslaughter" against the woman, and she was committed fur trial. The New York Evening Post advises the Republi cans of the South to drop the terms Union and Rebel, as applied to themselves and their opponents, and call them selves by their true name of Republicans. The opposition deny stoutly that they aro rebels, and claim to be as true to the Union as those who favour equal suffrage, and the perpetuation of the nomenclature of the war manifestly tends to perpetuate its feuds and hatreds. Not a few Con gressmen need the same advice. They talk about rebels and enemies as if the war were still going on. How long do they propose to keep it up ? And how much do they suppose they contribute in this way to the propagation of right ideas add feelings iu the South ? EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.—Large numbers of emigrants aro now leaving Liverpool and Queenstown for New York. The National Steam Navigation Company's steamer Louisiana, which sailed last week, had to leave behind at the latter port a number of passengers, while the Queen, another of the company's vessels, which left Liverpool on Wednesday, had over 700 passengers and a full cargo of goods, • NOTES \ f TRAINING QUARTERS.

THE MEMBER FOR CORK CITY.—On Sunday Mr. Maguire, M.P. for Cork, arrivod in Queenstown from Now York, after a protracted visit to tho United Stator and Ca114(14. The Alexandra Palace at Muswell-hill. If in the selection of the site for the erection of the Crys tal Palace at Sydenharn one of the most elevated and com manding spots in the county of Surrey was sought to be 'attained as a justificati on f or it s r emoval from so great a distance from the metr o p o li s , no thing Call be more appro priate to a buildi ng d evo t e d to some what similar objects than that obtained for the Alexandra Palace at Mnswell Hill, which is less than half that distance from the very centre of the metropolitan population. Muswell Hill, on the highest pinnacle of which the Alexandra Palace may now be seen rising in its noble pro portions from all sides of the metroplitan county, is in all probability, with the exception of Harrow, the most lofty point of land in Middlesex, and without doubt it commands possibly as extensive, if not the must extensive, at all events the most diversifi e d v i ews o f town an d co untry of any spot in the kingdom ; and when c om pl e ted, a result which we are assured may spe e dily b e l oo k ed f orwar d t o , the most mag nificent panorama of the vastest hive of industry and com merce which the world ever saw will lie opened to the sight from the exten s i ve t erraces and gal l er i es o f the Alexandra Palace. In combination with the panorama of the lev i at han metropolis of the Empire, on the extreme so uth, the Surrey Hills, with th e out li ne of the C rys t a l Palace and its water towers, on a cl ear fi ne d ay are b r ought prominently to view, whilst to the eastward may be observed that which it may be hoped may in a short time again be designated as the " silvery Thames," meandering between the shores of Kent and Essex, along which Shooter's Hill, Frith, and as far as Gravesend and Sheerness, are at times distinctly visible in its onward course to its outlet at the Nore into the German Ocean. Westward the heights of Highgate and of Hampstead somewhat impede an extensive view, in that direction, but passing more northwardly, by " Harrow on the Hill," the prominent points of the counties of Bucks and Berks, even extending to Windsor Castle, present themselves, whilst further northward and eastward extensive and pleasant views are obtained of the counties of Essex and Hertfordshire. So far as site then is con cerned, nothing can be left to be desired beyond what has been attained for that which we think we are correct in saying was originally designated as the " people's palace," but which, in compliment to the'beloved consort of the Prince of Wales, has now been rechristened as the " Alex andra" Park and Palace at Muswell Hill. The project was originally inaugurated (and the writer of this notice per fectly well remembers being present at the splendid sum mer entertainment on the site where the " Alexandra" Palace now stands) by no less a personage and friend of the people than the venerable Lord Brougham. Many will remember who were present on that memorable occasion, no doubt, the practical and spirit-stirring address which that noble and venerable peer made on the advantages which these places of recreative instruction conferred upon the comnsuuity at large—in the elevation of their minds in the moral and social scale, by bringing them at the same time in communion with all that is beautiful and sublime, whether in connection with works of art or works of nature. Nothing, it is believed, will more closely approach perfec tion in both these attributes than the Alexandra Palace and its site at Muswell Hill, when finally completed. So much for the site. The next points of importance are the proximity of such an establishment to the metropolis, and the facilities for reaching it. By the Great Northern Railway to Wood Green, the station on which Alexandra Park abuts, is but a little over a distance of four miles from King's-cross, and when the various lines in connection therewith form, as they will do by their platforms, part and part of the Palace station, the facilities for reaching the Alexandra Palace from all parts of the metropolis will prove unexceptionable ; and if travelling by road be preferred, then the spot is but an inconsiderable distance beyond the four mile radius at Hornsey. As regards the building it self, after considerable mishaps and difficulties, and the failure of one or two companies, the matter has at last been taken up by a spirited body of individuals, and is being carried out by men of known wealth and practical expe rience, and the building itself is so rapidly approaching towards completion, that, if deemed advisable, it is in a position to enable itto be opened to the public in the course of the forthcoming summer. In the face, however, of the attractions of the Paris Exhibition this year, and other cir cumstances, we believe we are correct in stating that it is not contemplated that its actual inauguration shall take place till the spring of 1868, by which time it is believed the railways and all other accessories for convenient transit and comfort to the public will be in full working order. It may not be generally known that the skeleton of the building which will be hereafter handed to posterity as the " Alexandra" Palace has been erected from the materials of the late Exhibition of 1862 at South Kensington, the design of which by the late Captain Fowke, R.E., was the subject of so much criticism and controversy. The architects are Messrs. Alfred Meeson and John Johnson, the former of whom was associated with the late Captain Fowke in car rying out the details of the 1862 Exhibition building, and the contractors for its erection are the well-known firms of Messrs. Kclk and Lucas Brothers, who have a staff of workmen iu the building and grounds running very little short, if any, of 1,000 men, exclusive of an immense num ber of other ertioeug employed in the workshop of the con tractors, and engaged in the prep tration of the internal fit ting required for the edifice. The present design is a modi fication of the old building, but so added to and altered as almost entirely to obliterate its original architectural character, and to appropriate it to the new situation and purposes for which it is intended. 'rho architectural order to which the Alexandra Palace belongs may be pro perly described as Italian, and its details aro being carried out in a manner which w ill i n a ll p r obability render it as a its description structure o ne o f th e m ost noble edifices o f description in this country. As regards the plan of the building, it consists of a nave 900 feet long and 8 feet wide, with a central transept 430 feet long and 85 feet wide, and two smaller transepts, each 320 feet long and 80 feet wide, inter sec ti ng th e na ve at a short distance from either end of the building east and west. Over the intersection of the nave and central transept is erected one of the great domes of 1862, which forms the central and grand summit of the building. This dome is 220 feet in height in the interior, and in diameter 170 feet. Much , of the glass which exist e d i n it s cons t r uction at South Ken sington has been removed and substituted by solid roof, the interior of which w ill b e, w h en finished, executed in highly decorated and ornamental panels, a subdued though fully suffi:Hent light being admitted near the top of the dome, and by lunette windows round its sides. The shorter transepts at their intersection with the nave are surmounted by a pendentive octagon cupola, lighted by eight ornamen tal windows in th e s id es, fi n i s h e d by a bold enriched cor nice and panelled ceiling and pendant. Each end of the nave and the th ree t ransepts are terminated with large semicircular-headed windows, which when finally com pleted are to be filled with stained glass. O n each side of the nave and transept buildings aro erected about 50 feet wide and two st or i es high, ying brick e xternal walls, with arcaded ope n i ngs and windows. Externally the ends of the nave and transepts present eight grand pendimented façades, flanked by supporting turrets, enclosing the large windows before described and having handsome arcaded entrances. These façades ' aro united by the walls of the lower buildings, t wo s t or i es i n h e i g ht, and by the colestory walls and roofs of th e nave an d trans epts, and the whole i s terminated by a b o ld an d very ef f ec tive brick and cement cornice, and by exceedingl ornamental parapets. The general charact er o f th e a rc hit ec t u re of the entire building externally is Italian, an d cons i sts pr i n cipally of brickwork in two colo urs , v i z . , w hi te or yel l ow i s h w hite bricks for the y mass, with red brick arches and Portland cement dressings in imitation of stone. The white bricks, it is stated, are manu factured in the adjacent county of Hertfordshire, and are considered to be of a very superior description, in fact not inferior to Suffolk bricks, whilst the red bricks aro produced from the clay, and aro made on ground in close vicinity to the palace, and are also considered of a very superior quality. The roofs are covered with " Duchess" slating, laid on two-inch boards and asphalted felt, and zinc nails aro used throughout the slating. Above the roofs and from the centre of the building is a bold, twelve-sided tambour, pierced with windows, and surmounted with a cornice and entablature. From this spring the b ase o f th e g rea t cen tral dome, which is terminated at the top by a b a l us t ra d e d parapet, from the centre of which, when com pl e t e d , w il l rise a standard mast to the height of 80 feet. This great dome is covered with Muntz's brass-coloured metal, laid on with a lap and tongue in a peculiar manner, and panelled in relief by moulded ribs. The octagon cupolas forming the summit of the building at the intersection of the smaller transepts and nave also show above the roof noble tambours with entablature and cornice, and an Italian roof covered with zinc in rolls, and terminating with an ornamental final and spire, which, when finished, will be gilt. The building is surrounded on all sides, and approached by magnificent the terraces, which, in addition to t he artistic taste with which, when finished, they are to be la id out, already possess the palace. Possibly th e m advantage of stately trees of the growth of many years, and which will remain as a part of the natural ornamentation of the o s g t l noble is 1,003 f ee t l ong and 100 feet wide; and which by means of being supp or t e d by Italian arcades will corer th e ra il way .oun d s t terrace r the ac e p will ark b attached t t (l on t o the northern side, whi c h station, from which access will be had direct to the build ing. This access will be obtained directly at the ends of the three transepts, and into which station, judging from the preparations already iu progress, it is expected that nearly, if not every railway in London will, at no distant period, have trains running for the convenience of visitors to the palace. Ou the southern and western sides there will be a carriage roadway, with a covered carriage entrance, form ing at the same time a conservatory at the western end of the nave and communicating by an easy drive with the public road. This, then, may be taken as a fair description of the architectural as well as general character of the Alexandra Palace externally ; but it must be borne in mind that among others of the important features connected with this giganti c undertaking the peculiar beauties of the park have to be brought into consideration, and also in connection therewith that which will be looked upon by a very large section of the community in all probability as the crowning advantage of this magnificent design, viz., that its slopes and terraces wilt command a perfect view of one of the finest race courses in the kingdom. It will not be surpris ing in a few years to find that the doings of Epsom and Doncaster, of Brighton and of Goodwood, aro completely thrown into the shade by those of the Groat Metropolitan Laos of Alexaudra Park, Proposing to ula4o the interior 2.1.0 29i 2.11.1 34 2.14.01 3.b 3.9.0 11.2.6 554 5. t 7.0 .I"PI1yS.

It is generally, felt that this is a case calling for the exercise of the Royal clemency, but as yet no intimation has been received Ord the extreme punishment will not be carried out.

Ths pro duction of coffee and sugar, and the manufacture of cotton cloth, are more extensive than ever. Soap and salt are now manufactured on a large scale. The natural riches ol that region are reported as enormous, and will eventually sustain large commerce. A fleet of coasting vessels, be longing to Liberians, collect camwood, ivory, palm oil, gold dust, &c. A full presentation of the statistics would astonish many of our readers." _ _ It has been announced from the Ottawa pulpits that the ministers of the Presbyterian, Congregationalist, Baptist, and Episcopal Methodist churches there have resolved to discontinue Sunday funerals, except in cases of necessity, as they interfere with the religious seryiees ou that day. )rt ep le- he of ' a ir ,ry e ; n' Lid el la" ,th lid or 30 - Vao re' )a ea- lir i 0 s l3 ' 004 tou it 1 ,o 4 to too 1 100 tOO 100 all 100 100 100 tlOO 10 100 MEN 190 100 100 1, 0 100 100 131 6 926 1011 921 94 4
