MONEY MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoos The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly but firmly, and compared with Friday's rates prices of all kinds were id. per lb. dearer, except Surat, which improved id. per lb. The sales were estimated at 8,000 to 9,000 bales, and consisted of 1,000 for export, and 1,500 on specula tion (American) ; 70 Pernam and Maranham at 60. to 7 d. ; 20 Bahia, 6/d. ; 1,000 Egyptian, 64d. to 9id. ; 1,000 Surat, 4tid. to 5d., and 100 Sea Islands, 1121 d. to 16d. per lb. There was but little Change to note in the Railway Share Market, and prices were about the same as on Wednesday. The markets for foreign and colonial produce during the week have been inanimate, and the prices of some articles have tended downwards. Sugar in the early part of the week receded fully 1 . 8 - per cwt., but yesterday, although no quotable recovery took place, there was rather more firm ness. The stocks of this article at some of the chief markets of Europe are now nearly equal to those of the same period last year. Accounts from the East Indies report that the crops were expected to be large. During the month of February the exports from Calcutta to Great Britain were large. There has been a good demand for most descrip tions of coffee, and the quotations have been fully Supported. For tea there has been a very limited inquiry, as purchasers deferred their operations until the public sales, which commenced yesterday with a flat appearance. For rice there has been rather more inquiry, at previous values. Trinidad cocoa has been sold at a decline of ls. to 2s. The low and middling qualities of saltpetre have been in re quest. Cochineal has ruled dull, and in tallow the transactions have been limited. Spices have bawl inactive. A rumour has been circulated during the last few days to the effect that the Bank of France has authority to issue an additional 8,000,000/. of notes. No authentic information has transpired on the subject; but it is generally admitted that the measure, if adopted, would have a very bene ficial influence upon the Paris money market. There is very little variation in the English Stock Market, brit the investments made by the Public give support to prices. Until the financial statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is made known, it is not considered likely that any speculative dealing will take place, as the pro gress of the money market will in the future have greater influence on the Funds than political Movements. Judging from the numerous Joint- Stock Compaiies that are being brought forward there seems very little prospect of any material relaxation in the rates of discount for some time to come. Consols for transfer have been 931 and 93 to 931. For account, they are 93# 1. The New Three per Cents. have been 921 to 93 i and the Reduced 911 to 921. Bank Stock is 2121 to 214, aid East India Stock 223 to 231. The Consols Scrip is marked 3i prem. Exche quer Bills, March, are par to 35. prem., and the Scrip is 3i prem. The Foreign Stock Market is very dull, and some of the quotations are flatter. Turkish 6 per Cents. have receded to 981 I for account, and the 4 per Cents. have been nominal all the morning. Sardinian Bonds opened heavily at 94i, and have Bi nce risen to 954 and 96. Mexican Bonds are 23. Brazilian Small ditto 100, and Dutch 2i per Cents. 631. A. meeting of the Spanish Certificate holders has been convened by Sir John Fitzgerald, M.P., who Proposes forming an energetic committee for the Purpose of taking measures to obtain cousidera tion at•the hands of the Government of Madrid. The improving financial condition of Spain, and the example set by her neighbour Portugal, have, indeed, a more confident feeling among the holders of the coupons. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report that in the market for American Securities there has not been much animation during the past week, and prices generally are without alteration, with the exception - of Illinois Oeqtral Bonds, for which there has been considerable demand at impro'ved prices.

In the French market there has been an attempt to depress prices, which bas been partially successful, a decline of about 11. Per share having taken place. Part of this, how ever, has been recovered, but some of the lines are still weak. Sambre and Meuse are heavy. Mining and Banking Shares are flat. BILITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ON ('CLOCK.

(This Day.) The Board of General officers rea.sembled this morn ing at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, at the usual hour. Colonel Tulloch's examination by Lord Lucan was re sumed.—lt was merely matter of opinion on his part when he stated yesterday that it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to institute proceedings to discover who were the parties to blame for want of "promptitude and ingenuity" in devising shelter for the horses. stated yesterday there were two subjects omitted from this report —one the mortality is a few of the regiments, and the other details which perhaps the Commissioners ought not to have inquired int ), but which, however, were very useful to the Goverament. He be lieved the Commissioners' signatures were affixed to the first report on the 26th of January, and to the second _ _ on the 2d of February. He could not account for the want of the dates in the printed report. The signatures of the commissioner 3 were n)t a r ffized to the report some months subsequent to the interviews and disene- sion with the Minister far War on this subject, but about three weeks before the meeting of Perna- ment, and during the time Lord Panmure was confined to his house. No copies of the evidence taken before the Sebastopol Committee were sent to them in the Crimea. They had a knowledge of the evidence that was given before that committee through the London newspapers, but they had no official communication on the subject. Re first saw an official copy of the Sebaitopol Commit• tee's report in his own office at the War•ofice, after his return from the Crimea, but when he first saw it as a private paper he could not say. He waq unable to say whether he read in the newspapers Lord Lucan's evi dence before the Sebastopol Committee. His report was drawn up on the evidence taken by the Commissioners, and not on the evidence taken by the Sebastopol Committee. The evidence in the Crimea was taken on board a vessel in BAlaklava harbour, specially sp_ pointed for that purpose, but unfortunately they had not the assistance of a short-hand writer, and the consequence was the evidence had to be greatly con- densed, and afterwards had to be forwarded to the witnesses for their approval, when additions and subtractions were made to and from the evidence before the witnesses signed it. He had the original minutes of the evidence with the officers' signatures. Lard Luoan—rnen, Colonel Tillloch, the minute; are not a faithful report of all that was said or passed be- tween the examiner and the witnesses? Colonel Tulloch —lt is, with a few exceptions,—that of the alterations made by the witnesses themselves. He said, in answer to a question from Lord Lucan, that as Sir John M.Neil was in e.mfidential communie.ition with the Government, he would be the beat person to inform the Board if there were other instructions given the Cotntnis•doners by the Minister at War than those included in the report: - He was in the confidence of Sir J. O'Neil as mach cquld by tw.ween two men gaged in the same duties, but Str J. was an older servant of the Crown than he was, and was in constant communication with the aivernment on other matter.. He declined giving an opinion whether or not Sir J. IVP2itiil, who is a civilian, was capa ofconducting an inquiry affecting the c.'nduct of general and other Lulli. tary officers. Lord Luean—lf you had known the inquiry wai td are been into the conduct of generals and other officers, do you think that your pint experienc3, antecedent=, and position qualified pu for uniertaking ouch an enquiry I Col. Tulloch— Certainly not, and I explessCd . my doubts on undertaking it, whether some otficmr of greater experience ought not to be sent out to canduct this itiqutry. Lord Lucan—Why did you not exernine Lori R %flan? Col. Tulloch—Sir J. Nl`Neil and myself had maey in - terviews with General Airey respecting it, who said Iris opinion was that it would not become an officer of his (Col. Tulloch'() rank to exa;eine an officer of the high position of Lord H g!an. Another rea :en for their not doing it was that the Commissioners did nut hear a word breathed against Lord Raglan by any person in the Crimea. Under these circumstances the Commissioners thought it unnecessary to examine him. If Sir J. Nl`Neil had Leen of a different opinion, and had thought it necessary to examine Lord Raglan, he (Col. Tulloch) should have sent home to the Government, and asked to have had a general officer associated with the Com missioners to have enabled them to have examined Lord Raglan. If they had examined Lord Raglan, it would have been the first instance on record where Commis sioners had examine d into the conduct of a General commanding an army. Examination continued—He saw but few horses of the allies under cover in the Crimea, late as his visit was there. He was not aware of the ()contrary, but he believed the Russian horses in the valley of Inkerman were not under cover in Nuvem'ier. Russian horses were very different to English horses, and could stand the climate better. He could not say whether the Rus sians and our allies displayed more ingenuity and promp titude in providing shelter than the English. It was necessary, on account of the bad weather, that the horses in the Crimea under c ever should be moved as often as possible. Certainly oftener than every two or three days. Had they been chang--d oftener it would have been better. From what he had been told in the Crimea he was of opinion that temporary shelter by dig ging pits and trenches for the horses might have been provided. Colonel Tulloch again denied that there was any animadversion in the report un Lord Lucan ; the remarks objected to by his lordship merely stated the Commissioners opinion of want of promptitude and ingenuity in devising tempo rary shelter, leaving it to be subsequently ascertained who was the party to blame. Lord Lucan said that if Cul. Tulloch would relieve him from all blame he should be satisfied, and there would be an end of the matter so far as be was concerned. Col. Tulloch said it was the duty of the Commissioners to point out defects to the Government, leaving them to find out who were the parties to blame. Examination continued—He did not inquire who was the Engineer officer placed at Lord Lucas's dt-zpo sal by the Quartermaster-General for providing shelter, nor had he examined him on that point. He had seen trenches dug and earthworks thrown up in the High lands to shelter cattle in the winter, that was all the experience he had had of sheltering horses in that way. He believed that was the practice adopted in the p ampas . He examined Mr. Rawlinsoa and not a military engi neer, because he was sent out by the Government to inquire into, examine, and make arrangements for the establishment of a camp in that country. The Commissariat Department lost some horses, but not to the extent that bad been stated. He thought the nature of these duties had been exaggerated. He was con sulted with reference to the organisation of the Ambu lance Corps, but it was not carried out by the Govern ment in accordance with those suggestions. In the Crimea he made no inquiries respecting this corps. If canvas was necessary for the covtring of the horses, it was a matter of opinion whether it should have been provided by the civil authorities at home. It might: have been bad if necessary from Constantinople, as well as spars, carpenters, So., in ninety hourp. It was also a matter of opinion whether, when wooden shelter was sent out for the men, similar shelter should have been sent for the horses. To use trenches_ for horses, in a wet season, they should be paved; and there, Was no difficulty in doing it in tlae Crimea. SoiDe of tbo regiments did it. ' Ho could not say if stone enough for 2,000 horses could have been found on the plateau, but there was plenty of stone a short distance off. Lord Lucan—Did you satisfy yourself that there were materials and labour wherewith to shelter the horses, efore you wrote that paragraph, attributing want of iroreptitude and ingenuity, and to which I take ex ception ! Col. Tulloeh—l did satisfy myself, by the Quarter. Loaster-General's answers, that there was no diffi oulty, so far as I could see, except that of labour, in ~roviding shelter ; and that labour appeared principally o apply to the Turkish 'soldiers not being good work qien. I certainly considered that there was a certain tomount of cavalry available for the construction of shel ter. With regard to the tools, I now learn there was a greater deficiency than I expected. I only thought it vas a partial deficiency, confined to one or two regi . :vents. I knew sufficient timber had arrived on the 25th November. Lord. Ldean--If you had known there were neither materials nor labour available, should you bave framed your report differently ? Colonel Tulloch—l am not aware that I oho old. It is probable, if I had known it to a greater extent, we should have been more particular in pointing out another .lepartment as in fault. Lord Lncan—l shall not examine Colonel Tulloch further. General Peel put some questions to Colonel Tulloch, with reference to the mortality amongst the horses, and as to his manner of striking the averages. He said that if be had taken the averages of the deaths at five months, instead - of six or seven, the mortality might have appeared to exceed the actual number of animals in the Crimea. The averages published by the commis sioners were correct according to the returns furnished them. Lori Lucan—Were you ever deterred From or die couraged in any way by any act of mine in giving shelter to the horses of your brigade, but, on the contrary, did I not urge you and every other officer to provide shelter for the horses as far as possible ? • General Scarlett—Yes, you never discouraged me or any other officer, but, on the contrary, was anxious that every shelter possible should be provided for the liorses, In answer to another question from Lord Lucan, Gen, Scarlett said—l don't think more promptitude or inge nuity could have been displayed by your lordship and the, other officers in command of the cavalry in the position we were then placed. If se I should have thought it my duty to have stated that fact to your lordship at the moment. We shall give the conclusion in our last eiition . LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—;This Day.)

HuicRIBLE ASS.4,sSINATIoN IN RUPEIiT- STREET. One of the most daring acts of assassination ever per petrated in this country occurred last night, shortly after eight o'clock, in Rupert-street, Haymarket. One man has been so seriously injured, that in all probability he has already ceased to live ; and three others are dangerously wounded. The assassin is an Italian, named Foschini ; and, un- happily, in the confusion which arose at the moment he committed his diabolical crime, he effected his escape, and up to the present moment has evaded the most active search of the police officers. The scetie of the tragedy was an Italian and French restaurant, kept by a native of the Papal States, named Louis Stuochi, at 45, Rupert-street, Haymarket. This person is at present in the provinces, and the crime, which will give to his house a terrible notoriety, will therefore be firat c3mmunicated to him through the newspapers. Among the fdreigners who were accustomed' to a.,sem ble at Stucchi's restaurant were Francesco Rossi, Carlo De Rudio, and Pietro Chiesa, all natives of the same part of Italy. The assassin Foschini has been a visitor only during a comparatively recent period, but from his family and connexions having been known to Rossi and the other Italians, he had been admitted into their so ciety, and frequently passed his evenings in Rupert street. At about a quarter-past eight o'clock last even ing Rossi, Chiesa, and Di Rudio were conversing to gether in the back room on the ground floor, on cursory subjects, when Foschini entered, and producing a pack of cards, suggested that the whole party should play a game together. Rossi objected, and assigned as a reason that he wished to go home early, upon which Foschini repeated his request, and volunteered to fetch some beer from a neighbouring public-house as an inducement to keep the party together. He did so, and on re-enter ing the restaurant offered Rossi and the others the free use of the beverage he had furnished. Something was said as to the bad quality of the beer, and Foschiui went out to exchange it, returning presently afterwards, and again joining his companions in drinking. There was a fifth Italian present at the time, in the person of Carle Rouelli— a man of education and birth, but reduced by circumstances to act as waiter at Stucchi's restaurant. In a short time atter Foschini had rejoined the party, and before any game of cards had been commenced, Fos chini complained of feeling ill, and requested that one of the party would assist him to the shop of a medical man. Rossi, anxious to gu home, volunteered to do so, and resting upon his arm, apparently in a state of suffer ing, Foschiui left the house and proceeded up Rup. re street, Rossi's intention being to conduct him to the nearest chemist's shop for the purpose of obtaining some alterative draught. They hai arrived at tne corner of Richmond-street, opposite to Brettell's printing-office, Rossi rallying Foschini, and endeavouring to persuade him that he was not so ill as he affected to be, when the farmer, releasing his arm from Foschnii's grasp, acci dentally touched with his hand a hard substance within the trousers of the latter, which he at once knew to be a poiguard or stiletto. Rossi immediately charged him with possession of the weapon, and asked him what he meant. Foschini made nu reply, but at once seemed te have recovered his strength, and with Rossi retraced his steps to the restaurant. Rossi had, it appears, some knowlsdge of Foschini's desperate character, and from his sullen manner on being questioned he felt somewhat alarmed. On reaching Stucchi's house Rossi was in the act of placing his hail upon the door handle, for tla purpose of entering, when Foschini, who was following closely behind, struck hiss a violent blow over the shoulder with his paignard. The blow fortunately took only a slight effect, having been stopped by one of the upper ribs. Rossi instantly exclaimed, " What are you doing, assassin V But before he had time to recover himself he received an other ulow on the arm, and retreating into the house, hr was followed by Fo chilli, who continued to strike at him with his poignard. Chiesa, Ds•Rudio, and the waiter Rouelli were in the front saloon on the ground floor when this attack took place, and on discovering Rossi retreating from the assassin they ran to his assistance. Foschini then dealt his deadly blows against all present. Rossi, taint from loss of blood, rushed into the street, and, calling aloud for help, hastened to the nearest surgeon's, where his wounds were dressed, and from here be was conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital. As soon as Rossi left the house, Foschini, with an artful cunning, turtle. off the gas, and then in comparative darkness continue his murderous attack. Rouelli, the waiter, who had been foremost in endeavouring to seize the assassin, fell first, dangerously wounded in the head and abdomen, and, indeed, in all parts of the body. De Rudio next sue cumbed, and Chiesa alone remained to grapple with the assassin, when Foschini, finding, it is supposed, his strength to fail, him, retreated into the street, followed by Chiesa. On finding himself pressed, within a few yards, the assassin turned again upon Chiesa, aud struck him a severe blow in the abdomen, from the effects of which Chiesa fell, still retaining strength, however, to call upon the bystanders, of whom nearly twenty were at hand, to arrest the assassin. The sight of the poiguard and the determined appearance of Foschin), however, seemed to strike a panic into every heart, and the assassin was actually allawed to escape without too lestation, no police constables being at this time near. As soon as the restaurant was entered a dreadful sight presented itself. Rouelli, apparently in a dying state, was stretched upon the floor, blood flowing freely from wounds in every part of his body, and De Rudio was in a fainting state also from hemorrhage. Assistance was at once procured, and all the injured persons were con• ve)ed to the Charing-moss Hospital, where the best medical aid was instantly afforded by Dr. Go'ding and Mr. Hancock, the chief physician and surgeon to the institution. The case of Rouelli was at once pronounced to be a most dangerous one, and under the advice of the medi cal men his deposition was at once taken by Inspector Parke, of the V division, under whose care all the wounded men bad been conveyed to the hospital. M. Francois Napoleon, an Italian, aud M. Atbert, in terpreter at Marlborough-street Police-court, were sent for, arid as soon as they had arrived, the dying man's statement was taken--Mr. J. T. Buck, house surgeon, supporting the unhappy man, and directing the officers how to apply their questions between the paroxysms of agony front which the pour many suffered. The S'atement was as follows "April 17, 11.45 p.m. "I, Carlo Rouelli, of 45, Rupert street, Haymarket, state that I feel that I am dying from the effects of the wounds that I received from the man name i Foschini, io the front parlour of the ground floor of the hou-e, be tween S and 9 dolock p.n . this day. lam not aware of having g iven aiy off,nce or cause for such an atta.:k.

" CARLO ROUELLL," " Witnesses—Franeii Napoleon. "John D. Prake." The sufferings of the poor fellow were of the most ago• nising character while this deposition was being taken. He rolled about from side to side, as if unable to obtain a moment's relief, and continually exclaimed, " Ah, aiio dio Ah, mio dio itnmortale ! Come io soffro !" It was generally believed that he could not survive through the night. A. very accurate description of the assassin has been obtained by Inspector Parke from M. Rossi ; and it is hoped he will not be many hours at liberty. le is a young wan only 23 Sears of age. LATEST PARTICULARS. Up to half•past two o'clock this afternoon the police had not succeeded in apprehending Foschini, although the most active exertions have been used. The police authorities, however, from the perfect de-cription of the as-wisin, entertain not the least doubt but that before to-morrow he will be in custody. On inquiring at Charing cross Hospital to-day (two o'clock), AIL Best, the house surgeon, informed our re porter that the unfortunate man, Carlo Rouelli, was still alive, but no hope vi a 4 entertained of his recovery. It is stated that jealotr•y, not gaming, was the actual caue of the shocking affair. ARMY REFORM.

We trust, indeed, that we are givi n g up the absurdity of an immense and costly army, in the most unavailable and unimprovable form, spread in small detachments over half a hundred colonies. But, passing from the political considerations involved in the reinforcement of Canada, there remains the larger question, how are we to apply to our army the lessons of recent experience ? Many people, of that sort that prophesy ill, and are too often right, will tell us that nothing will be done, and that everything will go on as it did before. It may be so, but we are still sanguine enough to hope for better things. As the army is to suffer no very considerable reduction for the present, and will be kept at a respectable strength till the cold fit comes over the British people, something must be done at once to justify an immense and costly armament. We have now an army, and it would be a thousand pities not to take the opportunityfor those improvements which it has been continually objected the scale of the army did not admit of. For the present, at least, we shall have two large bodies of men in camps of exercise, as they may be called, at Aldershott and Curragh. In them the soldier of the line ought to be taught every art that experience has shown to be useful in war—that is, so far as time, opportunity, and the capacity of the soldier will allow. A camp ought to be a great military school. Every sol dier, indeed, may not be able to learn everything, for there must still be subdivision of labour in an army, as in a town or a village. But each regiment ought to he independent of labourers, tradesmen, and artisans. It ought to comprehend in its ranks as many navvies, car penters, masons, blacksmiths, tailors, shoemakers, saddlers, butchers, cooks, and bakers as possible. Fcr this purpose it ought, even in the neighbourhood of towns, to provide for itself as much as can be done, even when nothing is gained but practice. It is always to be expected that war will be in an enemy's country, and provision must be made for that contingency. But in an enemy's country an army must always expect to find itself surrounded by deserts and ruins, and driven to provide r all its own wants as well as it can. In this emergency there is sure to be such a demand for labourers and handicraftsmen for the depots, and other general purposes of the army, that each regi ment will be ill off if it has not time to spare. Of coarse the soldiers, who are always needy, will be only too gladly to work if they are paid for extra work. It will be worth while to pay them handsomely, for a skilled soldier is evidently worth two of the unskilled men who rotted like sheep in the Crimea, with scarcely an idea of helping themselves. We repeat, that if we are to main tam a large army it will be necessary to do something for the money it will cost. The British public will have to be convinced that if it pays annually five or ten mil lions more than it has hitherto done for the national de fences, those defences are much more efficient than they have been. Among other things, every camp ought to have a proper proportion of cavalry, artillery, and en gineers; and no pains or cost should be spared to bring the cannon, the mortar, and the rifle up to the latest improvement, and give the men a close familiarity with their weapons. Among other proposals for the reform of the army, it is said that a mixed commissioriof officers and civilians will soon be appointed to inquire into the system of purchase. The names mentioned—the Duke of Somerset, Mr. Ellice, 117 r. S. Herbert, Lord Stanley, Sir De Lacy Evans, Sir H. Bentinck, Colonel Wetherell, and an en gineer hfficer—are certainly entitled to respect. They are -aid to have a leaning in favour of purchas e , as th e on l y eiearei of checking the influence of rank and power, and giving the middle cia"ses a chance in the army. With out purchase, it is argued, the aristocracy will monopo lise the service, with now and then a promotion from the ranks ; but as' a set-off against purchase, and to qualify the ir fluence of money, there is a great wish to carry , he test of examination as far as possible. How far this can be done, and how high in the scale of promotion, we do not hear guessed, but the argument of setting it against purchase, if consistently carried out, must go very high. Hard work, however, is as good a test as examination, and as efficient a counterpoise to the influence of wealth. Keep soldiers always at work and make the camp a perpetual rehearsal of the campaign, and we shall -ear less of idle young men entering the army merely for the name, the society, the uniform, and the trifling occupation. The class of do-nothings, know-nothings, and good-for-nothings would soon be driven away if they ..vere compelled to go through a few years' camp service almost as hard as the Crimea, except for the privations. It this is done at once, and the British people become satisfied that the army is an efficient institution, and what it professes to be, they will be quite ready to keep the army at its present standard ; but they certainly will not like to pay twice as much as before for an army simply twice as large, and just as likely, after all its costly trainings, to fall into the wretched state of help lessness daily described at Chelsea when ordered upon active service.—Times. MARKET NEWS.—;This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very moderately supplied with all kinds of wheat of home produce, nevertheless the demand for that grain ruled very inactive, at ➢ionday's decline in tae quotations.
