WMP7 ~, MONEY DIARKE2' AND CITY NE WS. CITY, Two o'CLo OK. The markets for foreign and colonial p* roduce have continued very dull during the last fel,v days, the onerous terms demanded for discount ar commo• dation having tended to prevent speculative busi ness. At the public sales of tea inferior qualities Went at rather easier rates. Sugars hay e declined about 61 per cwt. for the low and inferior descrip tions, but previous rates have been reali. , ied for good grocery qualities. Coffee has continued inactive, only the finer qualities realising former prices. In fruit, rice, and spices the dealings have been chiefly for immediate home consumption, and at slightly reduced values. Oils and tallow have continued quiet, but a few speculative transactions in the latter has tended to sustain the quotations. P.Y.C. on the spot, 595. 6d. ; and last three months, de livery, 565. 6d. per cwt. The next quarterly sales of foreign and colonial wool are to commence on the 28th 'inst., and the quantity already arrived amounts to about 49,000 bales, a large proportion of which is from the Cape of Good Hope. Rather more business was recorded in the Liver pool Cetton Market on Friday, although operations are still very much restricted, and prices; exhibited a further decline of in the pound. The sales amounted to 5,000 bales. An active business is still reported in the general money market, the inquiry being .steadily main tained, while the banks and discount houses still evince a disinclination to enter i ato extensive Operations. It is only in exception! 11 cases, where the paper offered is of superior quality and within a short period of maturity, that accommodation can be obtained under the Bank minimum of 8 per cent. A further sum of £16,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The directors of the Commercial Bank of London have convened a meeting of the shareholders for the 19th pros., for the purpose of receiving a report from the Board upon the agreement entered into for the transfer of their business to the London and Westminster. A final call of £2 per share has been made by the directors of the Great Southern of India Railway Company, payable on the 13th of April next. The Market -for American Securities during the Past week has remained very inactive. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Company in their circular state that, "The business in American Securities during the past week has been almost entirely suspended. Some of the Southern State stocks have been offered for sale more freely at lower prices, but purchasers de not come forward at present. The United States Bonds are much out of favour, and a sale to any extent with the present feeling of distrust could not be effected in the London market." No alteration of importance has taken place to day in the market for Public Securities, and busi ness has continued inactive. Consols are 91k 1 for transfer, and 918; ; for account. The position of Inonetary affairs still creates a heavy tone. The flew Threes and the Reduced are flat at 911 8 ; r at Annuities at 16 1-16 ; and Exche q uer Bills at Bs. and 3s. dis. ; Bank Stock is 2358 and 237 ; and India New Loan Scrip is 100 k. . There is very little animation in the Foreign Stock Market, and prices show no variation of im portance. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 691 to 70 ; ditto 1858, 54 to 541; Mexican remain at 23k I ; Spanish at 484-, ; ditto Certificates at 6k ; Dutch 4 per Cents. are flat at 1003 ; and Peruvian at 97. A moderate amount of business has been trans acted to-day in the Railway Share Market, and in Some instances a slight improvement has been apparent. Caledonian and Great Western have advanced ss: ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and South Eastern, 10s.; and Eastern Counties, 15s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North- Western declined 55.; and Midland and North astern (Berwick), 10s. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there 'Were no dealings of importance. Great Luxem- Bourg realised ; and San Paulo, 21 2a ; Great Western of Canada remain at 104 11; and Great Indian Peninsula have receded to 951. Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares con tinued depressed. London and Westminster de clined 55.; Union of London, 10s. ; and Crystal Palace Stcck, £l. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT.—A dreadful accident has aken place in the Clapham-road, close to the Hanover Arms publichouse, by which two men have lost their lives and a third now lies in a most precarious state. The Clap ham Stores beerhouse, situated at the corner of Church street, Clapham-road. has for some time been undergoing repair prior to an application being made at the next an nual licensing meeting for a spirit license. As the house stood back some three yards from the "face" of the ether houses in the street, it was deemed advisable to bring out the front so as to make it in a line with the other part of the street. Yesterday the workmen had laid on the first floor joists ready for the floor, and three of the men were engaged at seven o'clock in the evening in getting the fixtures up, to complete it as quickly as possible. The men so employed were two car penters and a plasterer. Shortly after seven o'clock the whole of the new building fell with a fearful crash, bring ing down part of the roof of the old house with it, and coming down SO suddenly that the three men beneath were crushed. When taken out two of them wore quite dead, and the third was taken to a surgeon's. No hopes are given of his recovery. One of the two mei& was the foreman, named Mackintosh, who has feft a wife and large family. A woman was passing at the time, and a portion of the wall knocked her down and seriously cut open her head, but she quickly extricated herself, and, after having her wounds boundup, was able to go home to her friends. Macintosh was taken to the Greyhound Tavern. The other unfortu nate man was taken to another tavern up the road. Both men have been recognised, and are stated to have left large 91 1 ' families. 29i 9 3 i 4 11 3} 34 4k 1 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(Tms EVENING). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on. the woolsack at five o'clock. CHURCH RATES.. _ - Petitions against the abolition of chinch sates were pre sented by several peers. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. Lord WODE HOUSE presented petitions from a place in Norfolk, from London, and other places, in favour of legalising the marriage with a deceased wife's sister. SECOND READINGS The following bills were read a second time :—Dumfries, Lochmaben, and Lockerby Junction Railway ; Dartmouth and Torbay Railway; Esk Valley Railway; Glasgow (City) Life Assurance Company; Weston-super-Mare Gas, and South Essex Water. THE TIPPERARY MILITIA ARTILLERY. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE rose to call the atten tion of the house to a proposal for forming a brigade of Royal Artillery. In bringing the subject forward he did not do so with any feeling of hostility to the Government or to the authorities at the Horse Guards, but merely with a view of setting himself right with their lord ships. Having mentioned the circumstances that led to the embodiment of the Tipperary Militia Artillery, and re marked upon the high state of discipline to which it had arrived, the noble lord proceeded to say that, in the year 1859 a rumour got abroad that it was the intention to add considerably to the Royal Artillery; he thought it might be considered highly probable that a body of disciplined men might be acceptable to the Government. He wrote to the authorities suggesting that the Tipperary Militia should be accepted and transferred into the regular regi ments of the line. He thought then, and he still thought, that the claims of the officers, should the proposed arrangement be carried into effect, ought not to be overlooked. He therefore proposed that a certain numborlof commissions be given to regiments of the line not in the Royal Artillery—" Hear, hear," frau the Earl of Derby)—and he wished their lordships to particularly recollect they should be granted to them in consideration of the transfer of the men. After a correspondence the arrangements failed. Subsequently he' proposed to the Commander-in-Chief, at the wish' - of the 'officers, if the Government were willing to accept the services of the officers and men, together as a regiment of the Line, shoud the plan be approved of. In all tne correspondence it• would be observed, that ft had never been proposed that commissions in the Royal Artillery should be given the officers of the militia. After a lapse of time he heard that it was proposed to incorporate the men with the Royal Artillery, and give commissions to the officers in the same regiments. He heard with surprise of the determination ; but although he took no active steps in the matter, he was told that the matter had been decided at the War -office. Up to this time he had made no public announcement of the negotiations he knew were going on, but when he was told that the thing was settled, he mentioned the offer to the regiments. ! It was at once accepted, and preparations were made for the altering of the uniform of the men, when an order was received that the noble lord at the head of the War Department had abandoned his intention. He had never broken any promise he had made either to officers or men during the time he had had the honour to com mand the regiments, and the altered determination of the War-office placed him in a very humiliating position, and he eculd not but sincerely regret that the arrangement that had at one time been looked upon as settled had not been fully carried out. Lord HERBERT said be could not complain of the manner in which the noble lord had brought the subject forward. When:he ff rct became acquainted with the proposed alteration, he wrote to the noble lord saying he thought it his duty to decline the proposed scheme, He frankly stated the difficulty in which he was placed, end he gave him the public grounds upon which he acted., [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(TinsEvENING)'.,,; The SPEAKER, took the chair at fcalr'o'-clOcK PPRIVATEBUSTiI'a s gk??. ~: The Mersey Docks and INAOur Board - Bill was read a second time, and some private bills were read a first time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the unconditional abolition of church-rates, against the Highways Bill and Parochial Assessment Bill, against the bill for legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister, &c. HIBERNIAN MILITARY SCHOOL, DUBLIN. On the motion of Mr. MAGUIRE, returns of the num ber of Catholic and Protestant boys - in these schools, list of the officers, teachers, &c., were ordered. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER. Mr. M. MILNES in presenting a large number of peti tions from the West Riding of Yorkshire in favour of legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister, said that the petitions were 374 in number, and were signed by 33,719 men and 24,931 females. METROPOLITAN TOLLS. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether her Majesty's Government had any measure in preparation for the abolition of the tolls within the metropolitan district; and, if so, when it would be introduced ? Sir G. C. LEWIS said that in consequence of the report made by the commission on the subject of the metropolitan tolls, he had put himself in communication with the Board of Road Trustees, and proposed to them to bring in a bill to enable parishes to reduce their tolls by paying a compensation for them. But his suggestion was ialt approved of, and the board stated that they would make a proposal of their own on the question, but they had not 3 et done so. SUPPLY OF ARMS. Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Under Secretary of State for War whether it was true that the contractors for the supply of arms, deliverable in the course of the cur rent financial year, had been requested to postpone delivery until a later period ; while the manufacture of arms at Enfield was being proceeded with on the same scale as heretofore, and arrangements were in progress for ex tending still further the manufacture at that establish ment ? Mr. BARING said he was happy to inform the hon. member that the supply of rifles was in so satisfactory a state that it was not necessary to continue the contracts for the financial year 1861-62, on the same scale as that of the current financial year. Steps had boen taken in respect to the contractors at Birmingham and elsewhere, and the re sult was most satisfactory to all parties. EAST INDIA. STOCK. _ _ _ Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary of State for India whether the notice issued recently by the Court of Chan• eery, authorising the investment of trust funds in Bank Stock and East India Stock, was confined to the Old East India Stock of the Company to be paid off at 200 in 1874, or whether it extended to all the stocks and loans contracted by the authority of the Secretary of State for India in Council ? Sir C. WOOD answered in the affirmative. INDIA REGIMENTS. Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for India, whether first appointments to Indian regiments would be made by open competition, or by competition among nomi nated candidates, or by simple nomination; and, in the latter case, with what department the right of recommend ing for nomination was to rest I' Sir C. WOOD explained that there were no more Indian regiments, as all regiments were new for general service, and subject to our rule in regard to appointment. With respect to the other question, it was under the con sideration of Government, and he was not in a condition to answer it at present. FRENCH TROOPS AT ROME. Mr. GRIFFITHS asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether any diplomatic communication by M. Thouvenel, expressing it to be the view or intention of the French Government to leave the French troops at Rome until a Congress had determined upon the settle ment of the affairs of Italy, had been addressed to or brought to the knowledge of her Majesty's Government ? Lord J. RUSSELL said that in the blue book, page 51. would be found despatches from Lord Cowley and M. Thouvenel, which contained all the information the hon. member required. (A laugh.) THE HERRING FISHERY. • Mr. FINLAY asked the Lord Advocate if any commis sioners of the herring fishery bad been appointed in pursu ance of the power granted to her Majesty by the act passed last session to nominate five additional commissioners ; and, if not, whether it was the intention of Government to re commend the appointment of any commissioners, and when? The LORD-ADVOCATE said that there had been some delay in the appointments in question, but they would be made. VESSELS BETWEEN DUBLIN AND HOLYHEAD. Colonel DUNNE asked the Secretary to the Admiralty what had been done to give security to the large steam vessels which run between Dublin and Holyhead during the present violent gales, and whether a sufficient pier had been built for their reception at the latter port ? Lord C. PAGET said that last year they had constructed a temporary pier at Holyhead, which he believed had proved very useful. It was now proposed, however, to construct a permanent pier for the use of the vessels plying between Holyhead and Dublin. THE RIFLE CORPS. Mr. BUXTON asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether a large number of the Volunteer Rifle Corps had not remonstrated against the recent minute by which rifles must be kept in a depot, instead of being entrusted to the members of the corps ; and whether it was the intention of the Government to insist on the enforcement of that rule. He said that it had been asserted that it would not be safe to allow rifles to be in the possession of private individuals in the event of any revolutionary movement breaking out. But he pointed to the fact that for years past there had not been a single trial for sedition or treason, and if any such movement did take place, he believed the Rifle Volunteers would be found at the side of government and order. ' Some objection had been taken that the arms would not be properly cleaned if left with private individuals, but that could not be practically maintained. THE CASE OF DR. R. THOMPSON, M.D. Col. SYKES asked the Under Secretary of State for I War, upon what ground- Dr. R. Thompson, M.D., who had satisfied the Army Medical Director General, Dr. Gibson, that he possessed the prescribed qualifications of a degree in medicine and a diploma in surgery to entitle him to be examined as a candidate for a medical commission in her Majesty's service, and had been directed to attend on the 18th February to undergo a competitive examination, was, on the morning of that day, in a personal interview, refused permission by Dr. Gibson to appear before the board of exa miners. Mr. BARING, in reply to the last question, explained that a regulation had been made with respect to p ersons of caste entering the medical profession, but an inquiry was being instituted into the case in question;. and if any grievance had been inflicted, it would lie redressed. With reference to the previous question, there had been remonstrance relative to the arrangement as to having the rifles of the volunteers corps deposited in ar mories, which was made for the intended convenience of the Volunteers themselves. libtvever, it was found that this Ras practically useless in many cases, and it had not been 'enforced. LOSS OF LIFE ON THE COASTS. Mr. LIDDLE asked whether the Government have prepared any measure for encouraging or ssisting the construction of harbours of refuge on was the coasts of the Unied Kingdom ; and whether it their intention to bring the question before ParlianTent :dur ing the present sessionAin accordance wit h : al statement to that effect made by the First Lord of the Treasury on the 19th day of June last. The honourable member drew attention to the numerous shipwrecks that had taken place at Hartlepool, Shields, and elsewhere, and were ac companiedr.rith agreat loss of life and property. He strongly advocated - the construction of Harbours of Refuge, which he contended woul ultimately prove economical in pre venting a. vast 3 early loss of lite and wealth.

MARLBOROUGH STREET. ROBBERY BY AN OFFICER'S SERVANT.—George Gil lard, a private of the 11th Hussars, but acting as servant to Mr. Fremantle, an officer of the 11th Hussars, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a watch from the pan try of his master's residence, 15, Tilney-street, Park-lane, the watch being the property of Robert Batson, a fellow servant. From the evidence of Batson it appeared he missed his watch from the place in the pantry where he had left it, and reported it about the house among the servants, and the prisoner expressed his sorrow at his loss. A constable was afterwards galled in by Captain Fremantle, and he gave him a description of the watch. Prisoner begged not to be prosecuted, saying that, although he took it, he did not do so with the intention of stealing it. He subsequently went with the prisoner to prisoner's brother, and the pri soner there gave him up the watch. Ensign Fremantle, of the 11th Hussars, said the pri soner bad been his servant about nine months, travelling with him from place to place. Returning from the theatre the previous night, and hearing that the prisoner, who was his groom, was still in the house, and that he had been charged with stealing Batson!s watch, he asked how that was, and was told by Batson that as he had got his watch back he did not wish to prosecute. He, therefore, gave the prisoner into custody. Captain Fremantle was his (Mr. Fremantle' s) brother. In answer to the magistrate, if was stated by Bullock, 203 C, that prisoner had previously been given into cus tody, but being released had returned to his master's resi dence, and was, as above stated, given into custody a se cond time. Remanded for a week. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Very little English wheat was received fresh up to-day, coastwise or by land carriage. The few good and fine samples on offer changed hands steadily, at Monday's quo tations, but low and damp parcels ruled heavy, at almost nominal currencies. There was a large show of foreign wheat, for which we had a fair retail inquiry, at full prices. Floating cargoes were dull, but not cheater. On the whole, the barley trade was steady. In the cur rencies, however, no change took place. The show of English wheat was trifling. No change took place in the value of malt, but the trade was in a most inactive state. We have to report a steady, but by no means active, in quiry for oats, at full quotations. Beans and peas were dull, but not cheaper. Although the supply of foreign flour continues large, the trade was firm, at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.
