MONEY MARKET AND CITY IYEWS'. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. During the past week the progress of business in the manufacturing districts has been more satisfactory. At Leeds rather large operations have been entered into in the woollen goods, and at Bradford and Huddersfield the demand for the winter has been more animated. Business at Man chester, however, has remained dull owing to the excitement that prevails in the Liverpool Cotton Market. The hosiery and lace trades at Leicester and Nottingham have slightly revived, and symp toms of improvement have been manifested in most of the hardware districts' in the neighbourhood of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday business continued rather active, and the recent advance in prices was firmly maintained. The sales were 20,000 bales. About £32,000, in gold, was purchased by the Bank of England authorities on Saturday. The Atrato, which left to-day for the West Indies, took out £5,040 in specie. The Magdalena has arrived from the Brazils, with £164,891 in specie ; and the Indus, from Alexandria, brings about £1,500. A steady business is still recorded in the general discount market, and the rates continue easy. The inquiries at the Bank of England are very much reduced, in consequence of the greater facilities of fered by the joint-stock and private establishments. While the discount operations of the Bank are thus curtailed, the influx of gold is still maintained, and the next weekly balance-sheet is therefore expected to show a further decided improvement. A further slight improvement has taken place in the English stock market, owing to the continued fine weather, the favourable tendency of monetary affairs, and the purchases which are still effected on speculative account. Consols are about 93 for transfer and the 10th inst.; for October they are 937, 1. The New Threes have improved to 92'i and the reduced to 921 93. India Stock advanced to 221; ditto 5 per Cent. is firm at 1031 104, and the New limn scrip is 1041. An average amount of business has been recorded in Foreign SecuritieF, and prices are tolerably firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 791 1; ditto, 1858, 651 ex div. ; Spanish are steady, at 492 4 ; ditto De ferred at 42, and Brazilian 42 per Cents. at 894 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents. are 971 982 ex div. ; and Portuguese have improved to 471. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been numerous, and increased buoyancy has been apparent in prices. North-Western, South-Eastern, and Stockton and Darlington have improved 5,.; Caledonian, Great Western, Lancashire and York shire, London, Chatham, and Dover, South- Western, and North-Eastern (Berwick), 10s. ; and Great Northern and Midlands, £1 ; Eastern Coun ties, however, have declined about 10s. In the Foreign and Colonial lines there has been a fair business transacted. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian are steady at 171; Dutch Rhenish have advanced t 3 141 -a ; East Indian to 10211; Grand Trunk of Canada, however, have de clined to 204. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue firm, at fully previous rates. Agra and United Service realise 85 ; Oriental Bank, 50! ; and Crystal Palace Stock, mi.

The Aigle du Midi of Montpelier says :—" The year 1861 will be one of the most remarkable as regards the production of bees. In some hives there have already been two or three swarms; and it is hoped that the yield in honey and wax will be so large as to compensate in the de partments of theGironde and the Landes for the insufficiency of other productions." INDIAN FINANCE.—From the state of the market on this side, and the character of the accounts from the East, the opinion seems to be general among the persons connected with Indian finance, that the Indian railway ; i lmpanies will have no difficulty in raising the bulk of the funds they may require during the current year without aid throorethe Government, and that it may therefore be hoped Fiveis little likelihood of any further creation of Iralia Cents.RiOr it w l g B.— We have had a slight earthquake here ; felt all over the province of Rio de Janeiro, b u t most intei ls . i t hebi Y: u nthe city of Santos, wh e re s o m e damage wa s done to re buildings. A committee has been a ppointed by the (30 ve ectr.:Tant to take into . consideration the best means ef eon 3, 7 86 a 2 nd forwarding objects for the London Exhibition Several private individuals are also making collectiouain natural history, &c., for the same end. The Corriere _Mercantile of Genoa g p 11 e ives an ac count of a recent attempt made by the 260 Neapoli tan prisoners confined at enestr eto make them selves masters of that f ortress, situat e d em at 8 leagues from Turin. Their plan was to of Whie r h ga w nise them selves into four bands, on e prise th e co mmandant and principal off et" to prise sur cers ; another was to close the g ates of the fortress • the third, to get possession o f the armoury and store-houses, and the fourth to occu py the most important points. The defence of the fortress was then to be regularly organised, and every morning- early a detachment was to march out and lay the surrounding country under contribution. It so happened that the garrison itself was mostly composed of Neapolitans incorporated with the regular army ; so that the conspirators found many willing accomplices, and the plan was in a fair way a succeed' ..og, when on the 22d it was revealed to the commandant just a few hours before the time fixed for the execution. With the greatest prompt ness the men under suspicion were disarmed, and the ringleaders arrested. SBARE MARKET.-(TRIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday, were only moderately supplied with wheat, and the demand ruled steady, at quite previous rates. Spring corn, how ever, sold slowly, on former terms. The flour trade was firm, and prices ware well supported. On the Continent, wheat has changed hands at extreme rates ; but in the value. of spring corn, no alteration has taken place. At New York, prices of both wheat and flour have further improved. The arrivals of English grain 'up to our market, last week, were very moderate. From abroad we I eceived 22,258 quarters of wheat ; 400 barley ; 19,187 oats ; 1,000 beans ; 752 linseed ; 3,368 rapeseed ; 40 sundry seeds ; 2,457 sacks and 20,162 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were small from Essex, and very moderate from Kent. There were several buyers for France in the mar ket, but home millers bought freely, and nearly the whole of the supply was quickly disposed of for home use at an advance in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2s to 3s per quarter. The show of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive. Im porters were firm in their demands, and the business done was at the full currencies of this day se'nnight to Is. per quarter advance. In floating cargoes of grain, sales progressed steadily a , extreme rates. The supply of barley was much restricted, and the trade ruled firm, at full quotations. Fine malt was steady in price; but inferior kinds sold slowly, on former terms. Good and fine oats were in steady request, at full quota tions. Inferior kinds sold slowly, but at previous rates. A:few parcels of new beans came to hand. New Mazagan realised 365. ; and pigeon 40s. per quarter. For peas, we have to report a slow inquiry, at late cur rencies. The supply on offer was small. The flour trade was firm, and prices were well supported. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

To-day's market was largely supplied with foreign stock, for which the trade was in a sluggish state, on easier terms. The arrivals of home-fed beasts to this morning's market were seasonably good as to number, and, on the whole, their quality was tolerably prima. For all breeds the de mand ruled heavy in the extreme, and, in some instances, prices were the turn in favour of buyers. The primest stock realised 4s 8d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received about 2,100 short-horns, crosses, &c. ; from other parts of England, 850 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 52 Scots; and from Ireland, 500 oxen and heifers. With most breeds of sheep we were well supplied, and the mutton trade was in a most inactive state at a decline of 2d per 81bs. The few prime Downs and the primest half-breds sold at 5s 2d per Slbs. The quality of the Eng lish sheep was good. The supply of lambs was very small, and the demand for them was tolerably active at from 4s 10d, in some few instances, 6s per 81bs. The show of calves was only moderate ; nevertheless, the inquiry for them ruled slow at Thursday's currency— the highest price being 4s 6d per 81bs. Pigs moved off slowly at late rates.

IMPORTANT TO FRIENDLY LOAN SOCIETIES-DEWDNEy V. LAMBERT. This was an action upon a promissory note, the plaintiffs being the Friends of Labour Loan Society. The note was produced and bore no stamp, being under £5, dated the 29th May, and payable in July. An attorney for the defendant asked for the rules certified by Mr. Tidd Pratt, and found that the society was not en rolled until the 20th June. The attorney then objected to the note as it was unstamped, being made payable for a longer period than 14 days, Had the sooiety boon enrolled a stamp would not have been required. His Hononr held that the objection was fatal, and non• suited the plaintiffs. POWERS OF PROFESSIONAL MEN-THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY A CCIDENT, Mr. Pook, of Basinghall-street, said that a case was ap pointed to be heard this morning in which himself and Mr. Reed were engaged, and they were also both engaged upon the inquest now proceeding at Brighton. He (Mr. Pook) and Mr. Reed had agreed that the case should be ad journed. The plaintiff objected to adjourn, but his Honour held that he must be bound by the arrangement made by his at torney, against whom he had his remedy. POLICE INTELLIGE'NCE.—( This Day.) BOW-STREET. ROBBERY BY A SERYANT.—Lydia Laurence, an elderly woman, was charged with robbing her master. Thomas Brown, of Robert-street, Adelphi, said the pri soner was a servant in his employ, and had been so about a fortnight. I returned home with Mrs. Brown on Satur day evening, and found the prisoner very much intoxi cated, She was sent to bed, but last night she was again found drunk, and a suspicion arose that she had stolen some of the wine in the store-room. An examination took place, when a large quantity of port, sherry, and whisky was found to have been stolen. The prisoner was then given into custody, and on searching her boxes a large quantity of property which had been stolen from the store-room was discovered. It consisted of soap, candles, pickles, wine and spirits, writing paper, envelopes, pencils, penholders, and other articles. A key of the store room, which had been lost for some days, was also disco vered in the prisoner's box. Police-constable 115 F said, on searching the prisoner, a quantity of pawnbrokers' duplicates were found, some of which related to property belonging to the prosecutor. The magistrate asked the prisoner what she bad to say in answer to the charge ? Prisoner—l am very sorry. I took the property to pawn in order to buy a new dress. I did not intend to i.teal it. I should have redeemed it with the first wages I received. Mr. Henry—But what have you to say about the wine Prisoner—Well I can't deny taking that. I did so. The prosecutor said he thought if the prisoner was re manded for a few days, a number of other things might be discovered against her. It was thought she had taken a room in Pimlico for the purp-se of depositing stolen pro perty. Remanded for a week. STREET ROBBERY.—James Macarthy, a lad about 17 years of age, was charged with the following daring robbery : The prosecutor, a commercial traveller, said he was pass ing down Wellington-street, Strand, on Saturday night last, about half-past 12, when the prisoner made a snatch at his watch and chain. He (witness) succeeded in saving the watch from being taken away, but the two chains ware broken away. The prisoner also made an attempt to steal the gold pin from prosecutor's necktie, but did not succeed. He ran off, but was captured by the police. Portions of the two chains had been picked up near the spot by the police. Remanded in order to ascertain whether the prisoner was known to the police. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OF A LADY.—John. Limbear, a shoemaker, was charged before Mr. Beadon with attempt ing to steal a gold watch of the value of £l5, the property of a young lady named Elizabeth Manton, of 7, Stratton street, Piccadilly. Miss Manton said she was walking in Oxford-street on Saturday afternoon about four o'clock with her mother, when she felt a tug at her watch chain, and then found her watch was broken from the Swivel. She immediately seized the prisoner's hand, and though he struggled most determinedly she still held him, being resolved not to let him escape. A person then picked up the watch and handed it to her. A constable came up and she then gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to Mr. Beadon the prosecutrix said the priso ner had her chain in his hand when she seized it. Parmden, 330 A, proved being called by an omnibus man and told a lady was robbed of her watch. On going to the spot he found the iprisoner detained by the lady and two other persons. The prisoner made no reply to the charge. Prisoner pleaded that he had been drinking, but this was denied, and the prisoner was committed for trial. THAMES. APPREHENSION or BURGLARS.—JoIin Wright, Ben. jamin Allen, and William Mares, well-known thieves, were brought before]Mr. Selfe, charged with being suspected per sons going about with intent to commit felony. Robert Franklin, a police constable, No. 480 K, stated that he saw the prisoners at half-past one o'clock this morning loitering about in Broad-street, Ratcliff, and upon observing him they turned up a court called the Orchard, and disappeared somewhere in an instant. He remained on the spot where he first saw the prisoners, and was joined by another policeman. While they were talking the prisoners came down Collingwood• street into Broad-street again, and he took them into custody and asked them what business they had in the streets at such an hour of the morning to which they replied that they had been to the Cape of Good Hope publiehouse in Limehouse to obtain a pot of beer. He observed that the publichouses were closed on Sunday night at 11 o'clock, and no beer could be obtained afterwards. He took the prisoners intn ruptocly. They had been all convicted, and he believed their intention was to commit a burglary this morning. On reaching the station house, Wright dropped a box of silent matches from under his coat. Mr. William Dean, licensed victualler, the landlord of the Pitt's Head public-house, Broad- street, Ratcliff, said his house was twice burglariously broken into and plun dered in the month of August. On the last occasion the thieves got over a skittle-ground and out-house, and broke through a skylight, and emptied the till of its contents, and he lost a coat and other property. A man in the employ of Mr. Dean, said he saw the pri soner on the roof of the Pitt's Head three weeks ago. The prisoner was coming down the tiles on his hands and knees, at fifteen minutes past four in the morning. The house had been entered into and plundered the same morning. Other evidence was gone into, and it was stated that other evidence affecting the prisoners would be forthcoming, as they were suspected of committing several:burglaries, Mr. Selfe remanded them until Thursday.

After presenting arms the men marched past, in slow and quick time, and were put through several evolutions in battalion drill. After a minute inspection of the establish ment, over which Sir Robert Peel was conducted by the major-general, the men were formed into square, when The right hon. baronet made the following speech : " Officers and men of the constabulary, with. the permission of the Inspector-General, I am desirous of addressing a few words to you. It has been a source of great gratification to me on this occasion to have witnessed the general bearing of the men, and to have observed the admirable internal econo my of this central establishment. You who are now present well represent the force which is ad mitted by everyone to be one of the most excellent institutions of the Government in this country. I can call to recollection the circumstances which led to the formation of your body, and you must all have read of the troublesome times in which the elder members of the force had to exert their influence, and to incur great hardship in sup pressing disturbance and vindicating the laws. I can now, in altered times, truly congratulate the members of the force present on the peace and prosperity of the country, and on the beneficial influence which your admirable body have exer cised on the state of society throughout the land. I am happy, indeed, to hear of the general good conduct and discipline which prevails within your ranks; but there is one feature which I must par ticularly notice and commend. It is this, that in a country where consid era bl e di vers ity o f re li g i ous opinion exists, I am informed that in your large force there is a complete absence of se c t ar i an feel ing ; and what is this but another link in the chain of evidence which proves that the present happy circumstances of the co un t ry cannot b e compared with the animosities of the past. It proves also the good results of the system established some years ago, which is so ably carried out by the Inspector- General now present, and in the depot by the colo ne l commandant, and that the system in this,'as in all other respects for which it was intended, has ren dered good service to the state. With pleasure, indeed, I bear my official testimony to the success ful administration of the regulations; and I can congratulate the officers, non-commissioned officers and men present on all I have seen. I trust the recruits in this noble and excellent corps who now hear me will endeavour to emulate the success of those who have gone before them, and continue, by their conduct and exertions, to deserve the good opinion of the public of this country." At the conclusion of the speech the right hon. baronet was loudly cheered by the men of the force, and shortly afterwards took his departure. ADULTERATION OF ARTICLES LIABLE TO DUTY. The report of Mr. Phillips, the head of the labo- ratory department of the Inland Revenue, has just been published for the year ending the 31st of March. He states that the analyses made during the 12 months amounted to nearly 11,000, and that the officers have become so efficient that although some of these analyses had to be sustained in courts of justice, not an instance has occurred of any one of them having been shown to be wrong. The articles on which Mr. Phillips specially reports are tobacco, snuff, pepper, coffee, beer and hops, and malt. With regard to tobacco, it is stated, that alth oug h it would b absurd to suppose that the smuggling and adulteration of an article subject to a duty of about 700 per cent. upon its cost can be entirely prevented, there is reason to believe that frauds are rare, and that the revenue from this article is com paratively well secured. An inspection of most of the tobacco manufactories in Ireland, and of many of those in England, during the year, has taken place without the discovery of a single practice that could be deemed illicit. Of five adulterated samples purchased, it is to be presumed, of retail dealers, the illicit materials consisted of burdock, coltsfoot, and cabbage leaves, sugar, common salt, and oil. Of snuff it is stated that owing to the great diminution which has taken place during the last four or five years in the adulteration of this article, it has been found necessary to examine only ten samples. Of these, three, which all came from Ireland, prove to have been sophisticated with peat-moss and ground pine -wood. Pepper, it is believed, is still extensively sold in an adulterated state, and Mr. Phillips considers that the prevalence of the fraud is mainly due to the practices of some wholesale dealers in and grinders of the commodity. " The skilful and almost scientific manner in which pepper was so adulterated," he says, "and the care which is taken to render detection difficult and conviction doubt ful, are alone sufficient t o p o i n t out t h e source, as It i s always easy on analysis to distinguish between the highly-finished article of the whole sale delinquent and the bungled production of the unscrupulous retailer." The illicit materials detected in the samples examined during the past year were rice, husks of red and white mustard, sago starch, and the starch of cereals, Coffee also continues to be extensively adulterated, and it is to this that the fact of the consumption not. having increased during the last 14 years, in face of a reduction of duty, is supposed to be attribut able. Chicory is the material almost universally employed, and within the past 12 months numerous samples which had been purchased as pure coffee have been analysed in the laboratory, and found to contain from 30 to 86 per cent. of this nearly worth less ingredient. From Glasgow and some other towns in Scotland many samples which were bought at the rate of ls. Bd. per lb. have been found to con tain from 50 to 70 per cent., and in one instance 84 per cent. of chicory. In samples sold at ls. 4d. avowedly as mixtures of coffee and chicory, there is really, it is said, no limit to the proportion of the latter, and instances occur in localities chiefly inha bited by the very poor, where the samples prove to be composed of it entirely. Out of many thousand analyses, it has been found that, on an average, more than 29 yer cent. of samples sold as pure cof fee were adulterated with chicory, while of those sold as "mixtures of coffee and chicory," the pro portion of chicory was more than 39 per cent. This is greater than in previous years, and Mr. Phillips remarks that it " at once gives the elue to the causes which are in operation in keeping down the impor tation of coffee." WOOL. The public sales of colonial wool have been brought to a close. In the private contract market the transactions in English wool have further increased, and the market may be considered steady, at quoted previous currencies. For colonial and foreign parcels there is no inquiry. Last week's imports were unimportant. The following prices were realised at the public sales of colonial wool just concluded : Scoured and handwashed sd s d ..1 6to 2 9 ..1 6to 2 8 ..1 4to 2 1 ..1 6 to 2 0 ..1 2to 110 ..1 4to 1 9 ..1 oto 1 8 Fleeces.

PAINFUL CASE.—A curious yet painful case hap pened during the past week in Taunton. The daughter of a tradesman had been ill for some time, and death was hourly expected. At length, to all appearance, the fatal moment came, and the spirit was supposed to have winged its flight. The necessary offices for the dead were then performed ; the body was laid out, and the shutters of the shop were closed. In an hour afterwards, to the conster nation and joy of her friends, reanimation took place, and the supposed deceased was able to speak. The shutters were again taken dow n ; b u t we re gret to state that, e suf ferer afte r the lapse of a few hour s , th e y were ageYn Put uP''t d ea th na real ' y rm ht i having gradually sunk until rated her ezisteace,—Briers; Merge,. THE INCOME TAX. The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the present mode of assessing and collecting the income and property tax, and whether any mode of levying the same, so as to render the tax more " equits.ble, can be adopted, have agreed to the fol lowing report " Your committee have proceeded in this inquiry, and having examined witnesses thereon, have agreed to report the following observations to the house :-- " The-question submitted to your comm itt ee y vas very fully investigated by a select committee ap pointed in the year 1851, and re-appointed in 1852, on the motion of the late Mr. Hume, who laid be fore it a schem e for the conversion of the present income and property tax into a tax to be adjusted in accordance with-- 4i Ist. The value of the property. "2d. The tenure of the owner. ".3d. The age of the owner. "The chief officers of the inland Revenue Do partment, to whom this scheme was at that time communicated, expressed a strong opinion that its administration would be attended with insurmount able d'fficulties, and your committee see no reason for questioning the correctness of this opi n i on . " The attention of your committee on the present occasion has been mainly directed to another scheme, proposed by their chairman, and explained by him both in written memoranda and in oral evidence, the principal features of which appear to be as follows : " Ist. A proposal to make net, instead of gross, income the basis of assessment to the tax; not as certaining the net income by an account of actual outgoings, but assuming it by deduction, founded on an average, from certain classes of gross incomes. " 2d. A proposal to divide all incomes into two classes, of which the one should comprise incomes called spontaneous, and the other incomes called industrial ; and to tax the former upon the full amount of the net income, and the latter upon two thirds of that amount. " 3d. A proposal to distinguish in certain cases between the interest of invested capital and the re payment by instalments of the invested capital itself, and to levy the tax upon the interest only, and not upon the repaid portions of capital. " These three proposals are addressed to three complaints which are popularly made against the income-tax in its present form—viz., that it taxes the owners of property in respect of income which they do not get; that it presses too hardly upon skill and industry as compared with property ; and that it deals with capital in certain cases as if it were income, and taxes it accordingly. " The proposals which your committee have had under consideration are framed upon the assump tion that the complaints to which your committee have adverted are well founded, and they are con trived with much ingenuity with a view of meeting them. " Your committee, however, after full conside ration, have arrived at the conclusion that the plan proposed by their chairman does not afford a basis for a practicable and equitable re-adjustment of the income-tax, and they feel so strongly the dangers and ill-consequences to be apprehended from art attempt to unsettle the present basis of the tax, without a clear perception of the mode in which it is to be re constructed, that they are not prepared to offer to your hon, house any suggestions for its amendment. "'This tax having now been made the subject of investigation before two Committees, and no pro posal for its amendment having been found satis factory, your Committee are brought to the conclu sion that the objections which are urged against it ate objections to its nature and essence rather than. to the particular shape which has been given to it. " Your Committee also feel that it would be unjust to make any alteration in the present incidence of the income-tax without, at the same time, taking into consideration the pressure of other taxation. upon the various interests of the country, some of it imposed by recent legislation, and in one case especially, that of the succession duty, to some extent by way of compensation.

THE LONGEVITY OF THE ARMY.—Aithough General Francis Moore, who died last week, was the senior General in the Any List, he was not quite the oldest officer in the service. Sir James Watson occupies the dis tinguished and venerable position, having donned the King's uniform as far back as the year 1783, a year before Lord Palmerston was born. The senior General now on the list is Sir John Wright Guise, Colonel of the 85th Light Infantry, who became a soldier in 1794; but in length of wounds, and hardships und a c n nso sc arcely ie rc by ely these p service ho, also, is surpassed not only by Sir James Watson. but by General Cosmo Gordon ( 1792 ) , General Richard Pigot (1793), Sir Howard Douglas, General Herbert, Si r Edward Blakoney, Lord S eaton, Lord Gough, Sir A.
