MONEY XARKET AND COMMERCIRL INTELLIGBI+IOII, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Business in the Money Market has commenced this week with a considerable degree of quietude, and the rates show no alteration of any consequence. There were again no gold operations at the Bank on Saturday. Notice has been given by the Imperial Land Company of Marseilles that the first general meet ing of the company will be held on Thursday, the 28th instant, at Exeter Hall, and that the transfer Looks will be closed from the 18th to the 23th inst. A further issue has been announced by the Go vernrmt of Queensland of their 6 per Cent. Loan to the extent of £550,000. The debentures will be in sums of £lOO, £250, and £5OO, bearing interest from the Ist of January. The minimu m price is openly stated at 91. Applications will be received up to ten o'clock on the 27th instant, and the tenders will be opened at the 'Union Bank of Australia, the bankers to the Queensland Government. The consolidated revenue of the colony is pledged for the repayment of principal and interest. The income of the colony for the present year is computed at £813,000, the and expenditure at £680,000. Mr. Herbert, the late Colonial Secretary, has been appointed financial agent in Loudon for the Government. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have declined f, to 30 31 ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds to 26 26g. The arrivals from the manufacturing districts for the past week have again been of a rather unsatis tory character. Business at Manchester has re mained very quiet, and prices of cloths and yarns have slightly given way. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, there has been little improvement ; while at Lei.tester and Nottingham the transactions have beon on a very restricted scale, and only for immediate home requirements ; while at Birmingham and Sheffield there has been little change to report from the depression lately prevailing in most of the principal branches of business. At Wolverhampton, how ever, more activity has prevailed, owing to the receipt of some extensive orders for railway iron for exportation. Two o'CLocr. According to Renter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 69f. 570. Firm. With regard to the Danubian Loan all kinds of rumours have been in circulation. It is very well known that the amount is £1,000,000 or there abouts, and the last report is that it will be issued in an 8 per cent, stock, at 74 per cent., and there can be no doubt of the success of the operation. Full particulars will no doubt appearin to-morrow's Morning journals. At the Stock Exchange operations have been rather restricted, but the public have been buyers, and dealers have put up prices, and wisely, because the supplies of Governmental Stocks are in special request. Consols are per cent. higher than they were on Saturday afternoon, viz., at 90j 91 for money, and 91 for the account. In the corn market to-day only a moderate amount of business has been transacted, but quota rally ti ons for h ome-grown and foreign wheat were gene well maintained. In the Foreign Stock Market there has been a general improvement in values. Italian have ad vL anced 1, to 53/ 54 ; Mexican, I, to 174 18 ; Greek, to 14 / 15f ; S pan i sh Passive, 4, to 224 ; the Certif i cates, 4, t o 144 ; an d R uss i an Scrip, 4, to 2 4 prem., but the Chilian Scrip has declined 4, t° Prem. ; and Turkish 5 per Cents., 1, to 30k Business in the Railway Share Market has re- In ained very quiet, but prices in several instances Show more firmness. North-Western have advanced 4, Great Eastern 4, and Great Northe r n, Lanca shire and Yorkshire, and Midland, each 4. The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit no ma terial change in v a l ue. American Securities have shown signs of weakness. Eric shares have declined 4, to 37 38 ; Illinois 4, to 77 4 7 8 ; but United States 5-20 Bonds have ad vanced 4, to 734 /. Bank Shares continue very inactive, and without alteration as regards prices.

The New York papers publish the following cor respondence between Mr. Seward and Mr. Lothrop Motley, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary of the United States of Vienna : MR. SEWARD TO MR. MOTLEY. Department of State, Washington, Noy-. 21, 18G6. Sir,--A citizen of the United States has ad dressed a letter to the President of the United States from Paris, in which he represents that he had travelled extensively in Europe during the last year, in the course of which ho had occasion to see something of our ministers and consuls in various countries ; that most of those whom he met were bitterly hostile to the President and his ad ministration, and expressed that hostility in so free a /tanner as to astonish Americans and to leave a very bad impression on Europeans. 4e adds that you do not pretend to conceal your disgust, as, he says, you style it, at the President's whole conduct ; that you despise American democracy, and loudly proclaim that an English gentleman is the model of human perfection ; that the President has deserted his pledges and principles in common with Mr. Seward, who, you say, is hopelessly degraded Your denial or affirmation of the truth of these re• ports is requested.—l am, sir, your obedien servant, WILLIAM 11. SEWARD. To J. L. Lothrop Motley, Esq. MR. MOTLEY TO MR. SEWARD. Legation of the United States, Vienna, Dec. 11, 1866. Hon. William 11. Seward, Secretary of State, — Sir,—An hour or two ago I received a letter from ; you, dated 21st November, 1866, to which I hasten to reply. You inform me that a citizen of the United States has addressed a letter to the Presi dent, from Paris, stating that in the course of the last year " he bad occasion to see something of our ministers and consuls in various countries ;" that most of those whom he met were bitterly hostile to the President and his Administration, and expressed that hostility in so open a manner as to astonish Americans and leave a very bad impression on Europeans. With the opening paragraph relating generally to the United States ministers and consuls abroad I have nothing especially to do. Other gentlemen are fully competent to answer for them selves. You proceed to sty, "He adds that you do not pretend to conceal your disgust, as he says you style it, at the President's whole conduct ; that you despise American democracy, and loudly pro claim that an English gentleman is the model of perfection ; that the President has deserted his pledges and principles in common with Mr. Seward, who, you say, is hopelessly degraded." You close by requesting me to deny or confirm the truth of these reports. My first impulse on receiving the letter was to content myself with a flat denial of their truth. On a little further re flection, however, I do not wish that there should be doubt as to my political sentiments as a repre sentative of the foreign politics of the Government. I have done my best faithfully to discharge my duties in strict conformity with my instructions. In the conflict of opinions in regard to home questions, especially that of reconstruction, my views have never been asked for by the United States Govern ment, and I should have considered it unbecoming and superfluous to volunteer a public declaration of them, as certainly should I have deemed it my duty t o express them frankly whenever they were e offici al ly demanded. That I have called " M r . Seward hopelessly degraded"eply thaty is on a e v o i l l d e s a t l e u n m f n o calumny a ; and it w ounds me d moment to such a falsehood. I u conclusion, I have only to add that I beg herewith respectfully to re sign my post as Unit e d States Minister at Vienna. —I am, sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) LOTIIROP J. MOTLEY. The Duchess of Inverness.eceivesri their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Cam bridge, and Princess Mary, Princess of 'reek, as dinner on Friday evening, at Kensington Palace.

CONVICTION OF STEPHEN JOSEPH MEANY.—On Saturday Stephen Joseph Meany, who has been connected with the Fenian conspirators both in Ireland and America, was tried in Dublin on a charge of treason-felony, and was found guilty.

THE FENIANS TAPPING THE WIRES.—It is more than probable that among the Fenians who have been recently operating about Killarney there are a few experts—as far as tapping the wires go. In the late war i❑ America Forrest, Stuart, and Morgan gained much popu larity in consequence of the manner in which they tapped the wires, and thereby convoyed important Federal news to the Southern authorities. One or two tricks of this kind Lave been just enacted in Ireland, and it is stated that the Fenians, bad there really been any serious assemblage, could Lave tapped every wire from Fairhead to Valentia. THE RAILWAY TUNNEL THROUGH THE ALPS.— The official report on tho progress of tho Mont Genie Tunnel states, that on tho 31st of December last 3.940 metres were completed on the Bardoneche side, and 2,434 metres on that of Modena; that 1,025 metres were com pleted in 1866 ; and that 5,849 metres remain to be cum • pleted.

EPIDEMIC INFLUENZA IN LONDON. —Practitioners at the West-end speak of a rather considerable epidemic of influenza which has prevailed during the last three weeks, although it dues not seem to have yet made any show in the ltegistrar-General's weekly return. Violent catarrh and great Bongo of muscular fatigue are the early symp toms ; and these are followed by neuralg,ia in the head and face.--31c(lical Times.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were firm for fine dry wheats on higher terms. Inferior parcels, however, were a slow inqury. Barley, malt, oats, bean; peas, and flour, mcved off slowly at barely previous rates. The continental markets have become steady for wheat, at full quotations. In spring corn very little has been pass ing. The American grain markets have ruled havy. The supply of Thighs!' wlwat on sale here to-day wa s very moderate, while the conditio❑ of the produce was poor. The trade for all qualities WAS very inactive, even good and fine dry samples bein: . - in slow request. In prices, us compared with Monday laq, no quotable change took place. About an average supply of wheat was on the stands. The amount of business transacted was very moderate. Prices, on the Ivhole, rulod firm. Floating cargovs of grain Isere in moderato request, at the rates current on Monday last. With barley the market was moderately supplied. There was a slight improvement in the demand, and last week's, currency wan fully supported. Tho malt trade ruled heavy at about stationary prices. The supply of oats on sale was very moderate. The trade fonall qualities ruled firm, and late rates were fully maintained. Beans were in fair supply, and steady request, at fa currencies. Peas, with which the market was but moderately sup plied, were steady in price, and in fair demand. The flour trade ruled firm, at late prices. Linseed and rapeseed met a slow sale, at late rates. The amount of business doing in agricultural seeds is still small. Cakes met a sloe• sale on rather lower terms. CURRENCY PER no. MEASURE Wheat— Essex and Kent, red, new, per qr. 54e to 63.

Only a moderato number of beasts was recoitod fresh up this morning from our own grazing districts, but the general quality of the stock was very good. The arrivals from Ireland and Scotland were rather limited. All breeds were rather limited. All breeds met a dull inquiry, at a decline iu the quotations compared with Monday last of 2d per Blbs. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s to 5s 2d per Blbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, E ssex, and Cambridge shire we received about 1,400 Scots and shorthorns; from other parts of England GOO various breeds ; from Scotland, 296 Scots and crossos ; and from Ireland, 100 oxon, There was an increased number of sheep in the pens in good saleable condition. The demand for even the best Downs was heavy, and the quotations gave way 2d per 81bs. The top figure for sheep in the wool was Gs ; out of wool, 5s per Sibs. Short Lincolns produced 5s por Blbs. We were fairly supplied with lambs, which moved off slowly, at from 7s 4,1 to 8s per 81bs. There was a steady inquiry for calves, 4s 8d to 5s 81 per Blbs.

The Lincoln meeting- has now obtained great cele brity, owing to the a , bninistrati vo ability exor cised by Mr. W. Ford, the obliging clerk of tho course, although some share of the success doubtless attaches to its being the first legitimate ono of the season. In these railroad times, it is of the greatest importance to trainers and owners of large studs to get a lino from public running, which is the only safe guide, at the earliest opportunity. Of course, therefore, large fields will be the order of the day, and it will be a matter of no little diffi culty to eliminate the wheat from the chaff ; but, as my adventurous remarks concerning the Birmingham Steeple Chases—wherein I spotted Sin WILLIAM for the Inn keepers' Plate, and TIGER was one of three horses I selected for the Grand Annual—were entirely successful, I hope to continue my good luck throughout the season, and especially on the present occasion. The Trial Stakes will most likely bo the first race on the card for decision on Tuesday, and in consequence of different penalties and allowances which make it appear as much like a handicap as a weight for ago race, I give the respective weights herewith ; Age st lb Saccharometer ... alO 6 Beadle ... 6 10 6 Volunteer ... a 10 1 Wild Agnes ... 5 9 7 Honesty ... ..4. 9 6 Black Prince, by Voltigeur ... 4 8 3 Aurora 4 8 0 Porter's Knot ... 3 6 13 Vice Versa ... 3 6 13 Without going into an elaborate discussion relative to the merits of the different animals, several of whom being engaged in the principal race run the same day may be reserved for that event, I can only say, if well at the post, Mr. Saville's filly by Parmesan, PRIMROSE, who has been especially prepared for this race, and ought to score her maiden victory. The Blankney Stakes, about half-a-mile, will just su AIN st lb Ailesbury 3 6 13 Timolaus 3 6 13 C. by Vedette out of Vixen T. 3 6 13 Miss Middleton 3 6 10 Esmeralda... 3 6 10 Primrose ... 3 6 10 Spurgeon ... 3 6 10 Ilaidee 3 6 10 PROBLEM, who has only Niko (late Misfortune) of the three-year-old division to beat, as the rest of those en gaged are a very indifferent lot ; still the dark division of tWo-year-olds, amongst whom are Traviata, Ritualist, and Pyrenees must not be overlooked. The Brocklesby Trial Handicap is also another short spin, in which PANTALOON, 5 yrs, Bst 121 b, and STAPAHILL, 3 yrs, sst 81b, appear most favourably weighte The Lincolnshire Handicap brought 27 horses to the post last year, a greater number than I expect to see face the starter's flag this time ; but should the field be larger, I think the following list of twenty are the only horses from which any danger need be apprehended : Age st lb The Duke ... 5 9 9 Saccharometer a 9 0 Honesty ... ... 4 8 7 Beadle ... 6 712 Copenhagen ... 6 7 12 Christmas Carol ... 5 7 12 Treasure Trove ... 4 7 12 Mount Palatine ... 4 7 10 Moldavia ... 5 7 5 Thalassius ... 5 7 2 Vigorous ... ... 4 7 2 The Duke is overweightod, but Copenhagen, who is in the same stable, ought to be near winning.. lie will have no difficulty in beating Saccharometer and Honesty at their respective weights. ' The Beadle will like the heavy ground, and having, I pre sume, been tried satisfactorily with his stable companions, Sultan and Wild Agnes, is bound to figure conspicuously in the van. Copenhagen has boen in strong work for some time, and• whichever of the Danebury division is backed on the day, will take an immense amount of beating. Christmas Carol has been knocked about . too much for my fancy, and now that they back Mrs. Allan, from the same stable, it seems a hopeless case. Treasure Trove, who made his winning debut for this event last season, will like the course, but, I think, is overweighted. Mount Palatine has a very unhealthy ap pearance in the market at present, otherwise, knowing him to be very much improved on his last year's form Age st lb Dulcimer ... 5 6 11 Mrs. Allan ... 4 6 Bismarck ... 3 6 4 Rejoinder .. ... 3 6 2 John Halifax ... 4 6 1 Problem ... ... 3 6 0 Lady Pam... 3 5 13 F. byNorth Lincoln out of Molly ... 3 5 12 Leases ... ... 3 5 10 should fancy his chance. • Moldavia has had ono of Elliott's careful preparations, and I consider his Cam bridgeshire running last season, where he was fourth, will, at any rate, enable him to attract the judge's notice, if he does not quite win. Thalassius appears to have lost 3 all form, and I think will not stay Over this course. Vigorous will be Mr. Hodgman's champion, but I do not f believe in her chance ; nor has Dulcimer any attractions L for me. Mrs. Allan has come with a rush, and as there is , very little doubt the right money has been invested, there can be no dispute about the extraordinary chance she must possess, especially when her weight—only that of a three-year-old—is taken into consideration. Bismarck is one of the best-cl a ss horses engaged in the race, and from the merit he displayed in several of his two-year-old engagements I expect to see him run forward ; at the same time I am not much impressed with the chance of any of the youngsters. Rejoinder has been entrusted with a good deal of money, still I think Joseph Dawson's horse will finish before him, and I hold the same opinion relative to Problem, Lady Pam, and the filly by North Lincoln out of Molly. This leaves me with John Hali fax and Leases to allude to. The first-named is another turned loose four-year-old, about which I know literally nothing, except that, although he is a wretched performer, reports of his being a " good thing " have reached me on the quiet. Leases also has very much improved on his last year's form, and having had a satisfactory spin within the last few days, must bo ono of my recommenda- Having carefully estimated their different chances, I come to a conclusion in favour of COPENRA.GEN, THE BEADLE, MOLDAVIA, MRS. ALLAN, and BISMARCK. The Handicap Hurdle Race may be won by FORTU NATUS, unless Fan should be sent for it, which, in the face of her Grand National engagement at Liverpool, is not very probable. Three of Wednesday's races—The All Aged Selling and The Juvenile Selling Stakes and the Scurry Handicap— do not close until to-night. The Brocklesby Stakes has 41 two-year-olds entered for it, many of whose breed is undeniable ; unfortunately, however, I am quite unable to give much information about them. The Chaplin- Machell confederacy have six engaged, of which I think the best two aro Grandee, by St. Alban's out of Barce lona, and Pearl Mosque,' by Newminster out of Agra. The Duke of Newcastle's Ninny, by St. Alban's out of Nina, Prince D. Soltykoff's Pyrenees, by Arthur Welles ley out of Prairie Bird, Baron Rothschild's Suffolk, by North Lincoln out of Protection, and Mr. Pryor's Ritual ist, by Newminster out of Trickstress (all trained at Newmarket) are also highly spoken of in connection with this race. The Marquis of Hastings will probably send Traviata, by Stockwell out of Strayaway ; Sir Frederick Johnstone has three engaged ; Mr. Saville the same number ; whilst Count Lagrange, Lord Stamford, and Lord Uxbridge each have two entered, from which to make choice. Under such circumstances the most I can do is to speak favourably of RITUALIST and SUFFOLK. The City Handicap, six furlongs, depends a great deal upon the previous day's running, although I think the best in are Pantaloon, Paris, Indian Star, Thalassius, and Leases, my preference of this lot being for PANTA LOON and PARIS. For The Grand Steeple Chase I prefer GREENLAND. A FRESH MAN. NOTES PROM TRAINING QUARTERS. NEWMARKET. The Heaths, and training grounds generally, have got into beautiful condition, and horses have, owing to the fine open weather, been enabled once more to get into good work. Leybourne leads D'Estournel a mile and a quarter gallop daily, and they are accompanied by Roquefort, Ravioli, and Moleskin. Sealskin doing duty for tho re mainder of Gilbert's string. D'Estournet has wonderfully improved, and is not only as sound as a roach, but is the best Derby galloper in training at Newmarket. The Hermit is merely trotting and cantering about, and there is no hope of seeing the Two Thousand post, and perhaps little bettor chance of his contesting the Derby. The Rake improves in his action, but it is only when he has warmed to his work that this is noticeable. We cannot perceive any great change in Dragon, but he was always a plain, unattractive horse. Jonning's, however, gives him a good gallop regularly, and ho ac quits himself very creditably, Enchantour and Truce dero now being his companions. Pericles, Julius, Boni bastes, and Plying Scud, are in gentle work, and Knight of the Garter is cantering again, but Pedagogue does little beyond long walking and trotting exercise. Pyrenees and Suffolk are the best of our early engaged two-year-olds. Nike has cleaned out all Mat Dawsou's lot, barring Thu Beadle. The latter and old Saccharometer are very lit for Lincoln. "Sac" won a great trial with Panacea and Kingsley on Thursday morning, upon which day also Leases cantered away from Gretna and Nukuheva. Bis marck was put through the mill with the Landlord, and got beaten, but the finish was so good that the stable be lieve in the policy of adhering to his Lincoln chance. 2roblem and Volunteer are exceedingly fit, particularly the latter. Tormentor is bowling !don for Cheater, and Dr. Syntax, too. Jollity is improving, and goes a mile and a ball gallop daily.

Pentaloon is f4rsvard in con dition, and is leadin g Roll Call, Lady Itirbara, and 'rraviata some very nice galleys. The three latter are exceedingly nice twoyear olds, but not ripe enough yet. Gement is school ing Ischis , Lues, Seville, Rose Chere, Lady Hester, and Red Riband ; and, judging from the present form she exhibits, Seville will be a thorn in the side of Achievement this spring. Black Prince (by Voltigeur) is only in mile work: The Duke is very backward, but he has got into longer work now, as also have Lecturer and John Davis; the three of them going well, and being full of promise for Chester. Redcap is doing very little. Dannobrog and Quirina aro pretty forward, but moderato in quality. RICIIIIfOND. Piaudit's legs are as clean RH a smelt now, and both he and Newland, led by Blairgowrie, are doing first class. The latter will mako a great noise for the Chester Cup, and is deserving of support for it, as ho is a very promising youngster. Plaudit is now galloping a mile and a quarter fast, and moves quite in his old form. We never remem ber seeing Moldavia more fit and good-tempered. 'llll. RD EDIT 0 N SUN OFFICE, 7 O'CLOCK.

With regard to the habeas Corpus Act it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to make any alteration. With regard to the late attempt, which had been compa ratively insignificant, it had been completely put down. As far as the ulifortnnato persons were oil'. creed, who might have been engaged iu the disturbance, his nobla friend Might rely upon it that the Government would carry out the rigour of the law.
