Y MARKET nomm P.' PAR AY, 1-Fr-rij,lk;FiNg two _ . Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices of all kinds were unaltered. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the exporters. The Railway Share Market closed heavily, and a moderate amount of business was transacted. The transactions in Foreign and Colonial produce during the last week have not been very extensive, and, in consequence of the expectation that prices will advance, holders have brought forward only limited supplies, and thus the quotations have been well kept up. On Wednesday and yester day there were no public sales of sugar, but, owing to the speculative demand, prices have ;isen 6d. p er cwt. There has b een a fair in, quiry for Plantation Ceylon Coffee at full rates and Native Ceylon has also been wanted. Tea has realised full rates. Rum has been more inquired for, and rice has been in fair request, at a decline of 6d. to is. per cwt. Spices have been dull and rather heavy, particu larly mace and nutmegs, which are ld. to 2d. per lb. lower. A large business has been done in saltpetre, at a rise of is. to 2s. per cwt., and yes terday 50s. per cwt. was refused for fine descrip tions. The refiners have raised the prices from 545. 6d. to 555. per cent. Cochineal has been steady, and tallow is rather dearer. The public sales of foreign and colonial wools are procceeding with animation, and prices have ruled very firm. The last sale is fixed for next Saturday. The advices from Paris relative to the position of financial affairs are more favourable, and the next monthly return of the Bank of France is ex pected to exhibit a material improvement in all the chief departments. Speculation on the Bourse is very brisk, and the Rentes as well as railway shares are exceedingly buoyant. The demand for money is more active to-day, and the rates charged are firmer, owing probably to the maintenance of the Bank minimum. Approved bills however are still negotiated below that quotation. Many persons express dissatisfaction at the course adopted by the directors of the Bank yesterday in not lowering their terms of discount. But those who properly weigh all the circumstances connected with the money market consider that any measure of the kind, so soon after the rates were equalised, would have been very premature. Of course, on a subject of such vital importance to the commercial interest, there is much difference of opinion, but it is generally felt that no relaxation should take place until the mercantile billsfalling due on the 4th prox. are liquidated. The Bank of England Return this evening is expected to show a large falling off in the other Securities, besides other encouraging alterations. The Funds are a shade flatter, although no important circumstance has arisen to check the buoyancy recently noticed. The account, however, is now drawing to a close, and although confidence in a further improvementmay be strong some of the operators for a rise will no doubt take their profits, instead of " carrying over" at / per Cent., the present charge. Consols have been 9 44 and 944 for money ; 944 4 for the 4th proximo, and 95 to 954 for January. The New Three per Cents. are marked 93 Reduced 93 to 934. Exchequer Bills 2s. 1, the to ss. premium ; and ditto Bonds 984 44. Bank Stock is 215 to 217.

Bell, Son, and Co. report that the market for American Securities during the past week has been quiet. The transactions in State stocks have been unimportant. The actual busi ness in the various railroad bonds has been limited, but transactions generally have been at improved prices. The demand for Illinois Central shares continues, and there are still buyers at 13, and sellers at 131 pm. 'United S tates 6 e r Redeemable. Per Cent.

GRAND HANDICAP STEEPLECHASE This was an action for a breach of covenant. It appeared that the plaintiff,is:son-in-law of the defendant, Tucker, and in 1851 the plaintiff separated from his wife, executing a deed of separation, in which he gua ranteed to allow her and ber child 601. to furnish a house for them, the defendant undertaking that the wife should not molest or annoy the plaintiff. Since the execution of the deed of separation, it was alleged by the plaintiff that his wife annoyed him by sending him several letters, and that on one occasion she forcibly entered his house at Peck ham, and that subsequently she entered without per mission his brother-in-law's house in 1854, where he was then living, much to his annoyance. For the defence it was urged that there had been a breach of covenant on the plaintiff's side, by not providing his wife with suitable furniture, and that he had not paid her regularly the allowance stipulated. . The case had not concluded when our despatch left, Up to tho time of our going to press, nothing of in terest had occurred in the other courts. ?,.(T &E.( (fitl • M. Count. CAldoniva.

This morning Robert Marley, alias Jenkins, was indicted for the wilful murder of Richard Cope, assistant to Mr. Berry, watchmaker, of Parliament-street. Do L.&N.W & Midid. &Atm& Darlingt. • •• Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clark conducted the prosecu tion, and Mr. Sleigh defended tie prisoner. The facts of this atrocious ease have been so fre quently and fully before the public that a detailed report on this occasion is wholly unnecessary. The pri soner, on his taking his position at the bar, cast a hasty glance round the court, and nearly throughout the whole of the proceedings he maintained the greatest calmness. The witnesses who gave evidence against the prisoner at Bow-street were severally examined by Mr. Bodkin and cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh, the object of the learned gentleman engaged for Marley, far some time, evidently being to show that it was a case of mistaken identity. . 21 - 2i Redc.g 6 p.c.

On Baron Alderson putting the question to Croft whether he had the slightest doubt in his mind as to the prisoner being the person he saw come out of Mr. Berry's shop on the evening of the shocking occurrence, and on his reply in the negative, the prisoner convulsively bit his lips, but shortly afterwards he regained his composure. The effect of the answer Of Croft was completely to fix the prisoner's identity. Mr. Sleigh, the prisoner's counsel, did not attempt a cross-examination of this witness. The only other person whose evidence created the slightest sensation in court was Allen, the hackney carriage attendant, the brother in-law of the unfortunate man Cope, and when the witness left the witness-box the prisoner evidently felt grest relief, as the whole tenour of evidence was greatly against him. The next incident that occurred was the examination of Mr. Barnaby; the chief clerk of the Bas-street police-court. This 14;9n tlem an read the depositions taken before Mr. Jardine, the magistrate, at the Westminster Hospital. The witness baying finished reading the document, Mr. Sleigh asked Mr. Burnaby whether the precise question " Is that the man who struck you ?" was not put to Cope in the pre sence of Marley. Mr. Burnaby said was not. The injured man was, of course, prepared for e.rtcountering the presence of the prisoner, immediately on seeing whom Cope gave a convulsive shudder, and in sae:ger to the question, whether be could identify any person present as the man who bad injured him, he pointed to the prisoner and said, " That's the man." At the relation of this incident in the dreadful tragedy a thrill of horror ran through the court, but the prisoner at this particular moment was not in the slightest degree disturbed.

In the course of the examination of Mr. Marshall, the surgeon of Westminster Hospital, the witness was enter ing into a detailed description of the injuries that Cope had received on the head, when 4 . "..". •.•.. 137 139 115 - 117 Baron Alderson, addressing Mr. Marshall, said, now, never mind all that, we want to know what was the cause of the death of Cope. 157 - 159 Mr. Marshall—The deposition of matter in the lungs. Baron Alderson—What was the cause of that. Mr. Marshall—lnjuries of the head. The opinion of Mr. Marshall was confirmed by Mr. B. Holt, and Mr. Lawrence, senior surgeon of Bartho lomew's Hospital. The ,latter gentleman said he had never known a case of a person recovering who had received such extensive injuries as the deceased had, after the operation of trepanning had been performed. This closed the case for the prosecution. i - iP 66 - 70 137 - 139 98 - 100 88 - The court then adjourned for a few minutes. 1 - li, Mr. Sleigh, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, said that the inquiry in which they were that day engag od was one of the meat awful, and involved upon himself a responsibility of great ,magnitude. Bat in any decision which they would arrive at he felt sure they would be guided by strict impartiality. He felt it his duty to inform the jury that he was not instructed directly by the prisoner himself, but he had been instructed on the part of the Sheriffs not to attempt too frustrate or impede the ends of justice, but to see that the prisoner had a perfectly fair and impartial trial. To find the man at the bar guilty of the charge imputed to him, they must be satisfied that the prisoner is the man who committed the offence in Mr. Berry's shop. They must be satisfied that his hand was the one which caused the death of the unfortunate man Cope. The first point to which he would direct their attention was, aye or no, is the man standing at the bar the man seen in Mr. B erry's shop inflicting injuries upon the unfortunate deceased. He had taken advantage of the recess that had taken place to shortly review the whole of the facts adduced to-day, and he thought that when they came to view them, they would arrive at the conclusion that the present case is one of mistaken identity... The fact that the basket which had been stolen from Berry's had not been discovered was a strong point in favour of the prisoner ; and he put it to them whether it was not possible for the person who had committed the robbery to have thrown away the life preserver and still preserved the produce of the robbery. The whole of this part of the case was involved in doubt. [We shall give the conclusion in our late edition.] 1102 -104 0 lf i 94 d 2 fa 1107 - 108 South Devon Do. fixed,4i per cent S.

The beadle, who proved the charge, said he friend the boys in a state of nudity. "Nudity, nudity," exclaimed the magi-trate, surprised at the refinement of Mr. Bumble's ideas, "you mean naked, man it was always called so before the invention of newspapers." Mr. Buoible bowed his aeknowledgmeat to the justice of the worthy magistrate's remark, and, like a sensible parish functionary, abstained from differ ing in opinion with his superior. MR.

The summons charged that the party summoned, Mr. Humph rey Brown, had g i ven his promissory note for 6501., payable on demand, and that demand having been made on the 6th instant, payment had not been made. being Ga ll e d on he did not Upon the sum mons answer, nor did any one appear on his behalf. The effect of the proceeding will be that should he not, within seven days of notice, pay, co mpound, or secure the said debt, he will be adjudged to have committed an act of bankruptcy, and a fiat will be issue d accordin g l y , __ Worcester chro nicle. THE LIGHTING OF THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.— This small, dark, and inconveniently arranged court, has lately undergone a slight addition in respect to its lighting, but not much improvetneut. The corporation of London, true to their principle of "no progress," still adhere to the old oil lamp, and, at this period of the year, when the days are exceedingly dark, the dull tight cast over the court has the most depressing injuence imaginable. It is with difficulty the eye can penetrate to the recesses of the court, w hi ch, to an ima ginative mind at such times, appears filled with the de parted spirits of those monsters whose career of crime has been arrested in the dock, and whose guilt has been expiated on the top of the adjoining building, ready to take advantage of the first opportunity to upset "blind justice" there enthroned. In order to give additional light to that part of the court principally allotted t counsel there has been erected a bronze pedestal, with two lamps in the shape of a cros, with a round vessel on the top to hold oil, like a barber's shaving pot, and so low are the lights placed that the wigs of the learned gentlemen come in contact with them. If the corpo ration are so poor as to be unable to provide gas the presiding alderman has but to walk round the court , d "ly w ith a hat labelled " pity the di s t resse d corpora tion,"al and those who have business there will readily drop a copper into it towards effecting and perpetuating so'desirable an innovation as a little of the light of the present day on the dispensers of justice at this court.

THE TIPPERARY BANK. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, it is announced, has been already retained for the petitioners in the appeal to the House of Lords against the judgment of Chancellor Brady in the case of " O'Flaherty v. M'Dowell." Great faith is placed in the sound ness of the decision of the late Sir Michael O'Logh hn in the no less celebrated case of " Fa.wcet v. Hodges' (the Agricultural Bank), and counsel for the creditors of the Tipperary Bank appear to be tolerably certain that the highest legal tribunal will agree i❑ the construction of the law as laid down by Sir Michael O'Loghlin.

Another day has passed, and to all outward ap pearauces the efforts to detect the assassin have been baffled. A statement has been telegraphed to the provinces from Dublin, announcing that a per son had been arrested yesterday, and that further arrests of persons in the employ of the company were to take place immediately ; but the Dublin journals of last ni g ht an d thi s morn ing have no confirmation of the intelligence. All the informa tion that can be gathere t amounts to this—that there is one man under surveillance, to whom the strongest suspicion of guilt attaches, but that as yet the amount of positive evidence is too meagre to justify the arrest of the person suspected. The Freeman of this morning has the following para graph "The police, under the direction of the Crown soli citor and Mr. Superintendent Guy, were actively engaged in searching every nook and cranny about the terminus during yesterday for the clothes which were worn by the assassin at the time the murder was committed. The coal vaults and spaces underneath the offices on the platform were carefully examined with the aid of lanterns, and even the very roof of the terminus was explored, but without success. Search was also made for the money carried off by the murderer, which it was rumoured was concealed on the premises, but none was found. It is generally believed that the clothes, which must have been dabbled over with blood, were worn temporarily by the murderer, and not taken fir away from where the murder was committed. Anony muus letters from every quarter of the kingdom con tinue to arrive, but contain nothing calculated to aid the investigators in their inquiries." Here are some further scraps of-negative news : "A statement which appeared in a Liverpool paper, that a man, in a fit of delirium tremens, had muttered something to the effect that he only struck Mr. Little twice with a hammer, but did not cut his throat,' has attracted the notice of the authorities, who, without attaching any undue importance to it, have nevertheless thought it right to make inquiries respecting it. Acting on information received from Mr. J. Tracy, resident magistrate, Belfast, where the man referred to had ar rived from Dublin, they have despatched to Liverpool Sergeant Meares, of the G division, who has only just returned from England, a railway employe, and, we believe, young Chamberlain, Mr. Little's clerk, for the purpose of identifying him, if possible, and ascertaining whether he is the fellow who called some few weeks ago at the terminus one evening, inquiring for Mr. Caffrey. It appears that while this man was in Belfast he stopped at a certain hotel, gave no name, confined himself to his room, but told the hotelkeeper that he expected a trunk from Dublin by railway. His manner excited suspicion in the mind of the hotelkeeper, and he communicated with the police, who first got possession of the trunk at the Belfast terminus. On being opened it was found to contain, among other articles, a shirt washed, but not dried or done up. The man had also a large sum of money with him and drank pretty freely. He wa., tracked to Liverpool, where he will be kept confined till Meares and his companions arrive, and if not able to give a satisfactory account of himself, after his recovery, he will be placed under arrest. He is at present in a lunatic asylum in Liverpool, labouring uLder delirium tremens. Catherine Campbell, the servant girl, has been removed from the building, in order to prevent communication with any one. Her testimony is con sidered to be most important in the event of a trig'. Colonel Browne, Mr. Kemmis, and the other gentlemen who are actively engaged in this investigation, were again in attendance yesterday at the terminus prose cuting inquiries, and it is stated that they have received several answers favourable to the ends of justice." Naval and Military Intelligence. The death of Lieutenant-General Alexander Thomson, C. 8., announced in The Sun of yesterday, renders an other colonelcy vacant, that of the 74th Highlanders. General Thomson entered the service in IEO3, and ac companied the 74th throughout the greater portion of the Peninsular war. He was at Busaco, the retreat to Torres Vedras, Fuentes de Onor (wounded), Cuidad Rodrigo, for which he was made a brevet-major. At Badajoz be was also wounded while leading one of the storming parties of 300 men. He also shared in the victories of Salamanca, Vittoria, St. Sebastian, Nivelle, Orthes, and various skirmishes, for which he had a gold medal and the silver war medal with nine clasps. Yesterday 386 sick and wounded troops were dis charged from the army at St. Mary's Barracks, Chatham, being the greatest number discharged from that garrison at any one period since the termination of the war. Each man was presented with ten days' pay, and also received any arrears of pay due to him, The medical staff corps stationed at Chatham garrison is to be augmented by the addition of a large number of troops, volunteers from the various line regiments now attached to the home station. With this view a circular has been issued by the authorities at the Horse Guards to the commanding officers of regiments and depots, directing them to forward a list of those men under their command who are desirous of volunteering into the medical staff corps. Each of the volunteers must have been less than two years in the service, of good character, and able to read and write correctly. A number of troops have already offered themselves as volunteers. Colonel Jervis, commandant of the Provisional Bat talion, Chatham, has selected a number of men from the depots under his command to be placed under the in struction of Captain W. Nott, of the 83d Regiment, the instructor in musketry. A selection of 23 of the most experienced troops in rifle practice has also been made frc,•tn those depots which have completed their course of instruction, out of which number 12 men will be ap points `1 assistant instructors in musketry at Chatham. An ex.change of divisions has been effected by Brevet Majer G. B. Payne, of the Chatham division, Royal Marine Ligi't Infantry, and Captain F. H. Naott, of the Plymouth clivi.sion- It is understousd in Dublin garrison that the 3d Dra goon Guards, at p :ement stationed there, have received - an intimation that ths4 regiment has been placed on the roster for service in losiia. The actual order for embar• estion has not been reeei.ssed, but there seems to be no doubt that the 3d will be ths , next cavalry corps for duty in the East. The 3d Dragoon' Guards returned from the Peninsula in the year 1813, and ;iave been consequently 43 years on home service. In app,aarance and discipline they are not second to any heavy cavalry regiment in the British army. Her Blaj,sty's steamer Shannon, 51, Captain Peel, C. 8., having been docked and had her copper overhauled, will go out of harbour again to-day and try her speed at the measured mile in Stoke's-bay. Her Majesty's steamer Victor Emmanuel, new 91- tan screw two-decker, was undocked yesterday at Ports mouth, and will to-day make a trial of her speed in Stoke's-bay. Rear-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, hoisted his flag (red at the wizen) on Wednesday at Portsmouth, on board her Majesty's ship Excellent. His flagship, the Indus, 78, is fitting out at Plymouth, but it is most probable the Admiral will not wait until she is ready to carry him to his station (the West India and North American), but will go out by the mail packet and re lieve Rear-Admiral Fanshawe. The freight-ship Camperdown has completed her ship• ment from Woolwich Arsenal of 1,000 tons of Ordnance stores, which consist of sho t, guns, carriages, Stijec.l, bat ing a complete equip ment for two 9-poueender down is teries, for conveyance t o Sydney. Th amper ready for sea, and will leave the docks to-day for her destination. The Apolline bas been chartered by Government for the transport of Ordnance stores to Bermuda, and is ordered to comm erce embarking from Woolwich pier, whither she is to proceed today. The screw-steam factory Chassenr is order ben d out des of Woolwich basin to -da y for the purpose of g patched to Chatham, and retained there for the use of the steam reserve squadron at that station. The two gun -vessels Porpoise and Pheasant, of 60 -h eri!le power each, have entered the fitting basin at Woolwich to go through the bands of th e riggers. The iron steamer Trident has had her masts hoisted on board in Woolwich basin, and is in a forward state for service. The convict hulk Warrior, lyin in the river at Wool g wich, is ordered by the Admiralty to be sold by public auction. The smaller hulk, Sulphur, appropriated for some time past as an adjunct to the Warrior, is to be conveyed to Shoeburyness, to be employed as a target in experimental firing practice. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty : Commander Charles Wake, to the Indus ; Lieutenant the Hon. E. G. L. Cochrane and Lieutenant F. D. Rich, to the Indus ; Arthur Jones, secretary to Rear- Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, Commander-in-Chief of the North American and West India station ; F. W. S. Ponsonby and G. W. W. Muir, secretary's clerk, to the Indus ; P. M. Shanks, paymaster, to the Sphinx ; Thomas Robertson, master's-assistant, to the Edinburgh. LITERATURE. The Young Elvers. By Captain Mayne Reid. Illustrated by William Harvey. David Bogue. One of the last productions issued from his well known establishment in Fleet-street, by the late Mr. David Bogue—" that worthy man and excel lent publisher," as he was once upon a time desig nated in one of the revised Fairy Tales of Child hood, edited by the pen and illustrated by the pencil of our dear old friend George Cruikshank— was this sixth Christmas. book written for the de light of the boy readers of England, by their idolised favourite Captain Mayne Reid, the most popular author now living of such capital, delightful, ex hilarating books of adventure. "The Young Yiigers"— being a narrative of certain hunting ex ploits in Southern Africa, exploits comparable many of them to those of the famous lion-killers Jules Gerard and Gordon Cumming. By reason of their blended animation, sparkle, freshness, daring, variety, and divers other agreeable and inspiriting characteristics, " The Young Yiigers " may at once take rank, among works of this kind, side by side with the very best of its five notable predecessors. Com panion volumes to those already ranged upon the pet shelf in the boy-reader's library—the shelf sacred to Robinson Crusoe to Philip Quarl, to Peter Wilkins, to Paul and Virginia, to that golden treasury of romance with children young and old, the glorious and incomparable Arabian Nights' Entertainments. There, too, upon that dear old shelf have gradually (during the last half-dozen years) come to be placed, one after another, the series of books for boy-readers penned currente calanso, winter after winter, by the author of the " Rifle Rangers," and the "Scalp Hunters," a n d the " White Chief," and the "Quadroon." First and foremost " The Desert Home," being the ad ventures of a Family (the " English Family Robin son") lost in the wilderness. Afterwards " The Forest Exiles," and the " Boy Hunters," and the "Young Voyageurs," and the "Bush Boys." And now—so far completing the " set of six —The Young Yagers, a kind of sequel to the book last mentioned. A sequel is it not to those well-remem bered pages descriptive of the Cape Farmer and his Family in the wild Karoos of the southern part of thegreat African continent ! Don't all the bright eyed young rogues who hung delighted over those enthralling pages last - Christmas tide—pages which they read, forgetful for awhile of Blind-man's-Buff and Hunt-the-Slipper, indifferent to mince pies, and careless of all the allurements of snap-dragon and even of the anticipations awakened usually by the promise of the grand new pantomime—don't they recognise on the instant, with a chuckle and a rub of the hands, the old familiar names of the quondam "Bush Boys," now metamorphosed into the " Young Yagers"—Hans, and Jan, and Hendrik! Grown a little since last we met them, but still pretty much the same, and recognisable at a glance even in the disguise of their picturesque regi mentals, the regimentals of the Cape Rifles, among whose number they have been enrolled. Associated with them three other dashing young fellows (also Yiigers)—the Van Wyks—Klaas, and Arend, and their elder brother Kroot Willem, signifying (this last name) rather euphoniously the intrinsically and horribly vulgar sobriquet of Big William! Attending upon these six "Young Yiigers," Klaas, Arend, and Willem Van Wyk, and Hans, Jan, and Hendrik Von Bloom—we stumble very soon upon Congo the Kaffir, and recognise (do n' t we recognise f) our old friend Swartboy the Bushman. Huzza ! for the introduction of new faces and the recognition of old—and away we speed with the " Young iigers'—rifle in hand, forage-cap on head, belted, booted, smoking, laughing, chattering away to our heart's content upon the old primeval warfare of the wilderness—a series of grand huntine expe ditions ! Crossing a " Drift;" following the "Black Manes ;" hunting the Lion ; even drawing the l')ng-bow upon a Unicorn ! stalking the Blesboks ; chased by the Keitloa ; charged uy Muchochoa ; struggling with Snakes ; having a brush with a brindled Gnoo ; and riding upon a Rhinoceros ! Talk of Jules Gerard and Gordon Cumming— these are something like adventures And William Harvey, the illustrater, enters to the full into the spirit of them—Does he not ? Answer this, the rather startling frontispiece, in which we behold friend Hendrik Von Bloom bounding into the air like a veritable skyrocket, and so escaping, with the agility of a flea, or a grasshopper, the dreadful horns of a mighty monster of a Blue-Buck ! An other sketch (p. 48) reveals to us the terrific spec tacle of a " Lion stalking the Gemsbok "—the lord of the forest bounding upon his prey like an evil destiny. " The Femme and the Ostrich Eggs," (p. 127), is an eccentric picture enough ; and so, too, for that matter, is the rather more turbulent group of dogs and hunters: engaged (p. 190) in "A brush with the Brindled Gnoo." " Driving the Blesboks " (p. 246) lengthens out into a wonderful perspective. " The Kleitoa and the Lion," a little further on (p. 279), are seen engaged in a dreadful struggle. "The Waterbuck" (p. 353) is the por trait of one whom Landseer would, without doubt, marvellously like to have as a sitter:- Two of the calmer glimpses into African Life, afforded us here by the ready pencil of Wm. Harvey, being (p. 326) a peep at " The Eagle and the Klipspringer," and another, (p. 90) that Hans has "on the sly," at a cluster of Camel Birds—the Ostriches of the African continent. A couple of engravings yet remain to be particularised—one (p. 380) dis closing " The Ambuscade of the Lions," the other (p. 422), portraying the appalling " Charge of the Rhinoceros." We have been all the more explicit in our enumeration of these embellishments, be cause, through the mere mention of their charac ter, a more definite notion may be formed of the nature of the marvellous hunting ex ploits of the " Young Yiigers " Hendrik, Hans, Jan, Klaas, Arend, Willem shown in another illustration (p. AO cosily bivot acing by their camp-fire attended by Oongo the Kaffir and Swartboy the Bushman. The narrative closes—how ? Characteristically enough, with the expression of a hope on the part of Kroot Willem —the hope of making peradventure at no distant date "another expedition io the haunts of the mighty elephant on the banks of the lovely Limpopo." And so their rifles are hung up for a while with a side long glance at the forsaken domains of the Lion, and the Rhinoceros, and the Ostrich, and the Leopard, and the Snake, and the Unicorn—as the Young Yiigers fling down their well-worn trap pings as t o u f r e thers and carouse ely True and duof rioue s h u n t. e n L a i e t g t h a e d f v e e e n t the pretty blushing Wilhelmine.

The lace trade remains in a quiet state, nor do we ex pect any reaction until after Christmas. For home con sumption we have little demand, but for the American market there have been some tolerable orders. - Upon the whole, we do net think that the lace trade is more dull than is usually th e cas e at this perio d of the y In silks,ear. in consequence of the dearness of material, there is very little doing. In hosiery there is an average amount of business doing. Thi a i s , h ow ever, usually a s lack time, trade will no doubt remain quiet until after Christmas. There has been until the last week a good business doing for the American market. Silk is a little easier to buy. Yarns are firm. It is understood that the question as to the desirable ness of adopting an exclusively gold standard is again occupying the attention of the French Government. 50 1.3 f 25 3i. 11th 4 t. 10( St. 10( 10 a' 50 4' !F Al 't. 1101 1.0 I al 25 10 a it. 1 LI 3t.

CLERKEN WE L L-(THIS DAY.) This afternoon the prisoners, Leopold Redpath and James Charles Comyn Kent, charged with fraud and forgery en the Great Northern Railway Company, were placed at the bar before Mr. Corrie, who sat for Mr. TyrWhitt, who was unable to attend in consequence of indisposition. After hearing evidence of a formal cha racter, the prisoners were again remanded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. MORE SKITTLE-SHARPING. —Andrew Cochrane and Charles Davis, two sharp-looking young fellows, were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with conspiring together to defraud George Bezel-, of 71. Bs., at the Thistle and Crown, Thomas-street, Oxford-street. The prosecutor, an exceedingly dull and stupid German, whose evidence was interpreted to the Court by Mr. Albert, the interpreter, stated that on the 22d inst. be was proceeding along Oxford-street for amusement, having nothing to do, and rejoicing in the possession of 7/. Bs., when the defendants came up to him, and after passing the usual compliments about the weather, &c., invited him to partake of some refreshment at their ex pense. Ho thanked them for their politeness, and accompanied them to the Thistle and Crown, where they had some ale, which the defendants per sisted in paying for. After that they adjourned to the skittle-ground, where the prisoner Davis bet him a shil ling that the ball was stone, and not wood. Witness bet the money and wen it. Davis then expressed a wish to play Cochrane, whom he called a " flat," but as be had not the money to play with he asked witness to lend him some on condition that he should have half of the win nings. He accordingly gave him al., which he speedily lost. Witness was then induced to give him 4/. Bs., and Cochrane covered the amount with several pieces of coin resembling sovereigns. This game Cochrane also won, and pocketed the money, and before witness could re cover from his astonishment the prisoners quickly walked off, and prosecutor saw no more of the prisoners until night when he gave them into custody. Mr. Bingham said the case did not come within his jurisdiction, complainant must go the County Court, for it was a matter of debt and not robbery. He lent the money to Davis, and no doubt that person would give him his address, so that he could sue him for the amount. The prisoners must therefore be discharged. THAMES. A MAN SHOT IN STEPNEY.— A great many persons attended the court and its avenues this morning in con sequence ;of a report that a man had been shot in Stepney, and that the attempted murderer would be brought before the magistrate. It appeared, how ever, that no person was in custody for such an offence, and that the rumour bad its origin in the following cir cumstances :--Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock a woman dropped a silver fourpenny piece in John-street, Stepney-causeway, and a labouring man named John Daly, who was passing, assisted her in looking for it. While he was so engaged, a mischievous boy, who had beau playing with a pistol loaded with powder and ball, either by accident or design fired it on the opposite Bide of the road, and the ball lodged in the leg of the man who was looking for the fourpenny piece. The man fell, and es.elaimed, "I am shot !" He was immediately taken to the surgery of Mr. Monks, in the Commercial-road, who dressed the wound, and directed that the unfortunate man should be removed to the London Hospital, where the ball was extracted. On making inquiries at the hospital this morning our re porter was informed that the man was going on favour. ably. The author of the mischief ran away directly he , had fired the pistol, and notwithstanding the exertions of the police no trace of him has been discovered. Two detectives of the K Division have been in t;search of the boy all day. MA' EET NEWB.—fThis Day.) CORN h'XCHANGE. This week's arrivals of English wheat, coastwise, and by land carriage, have been very moderate, and the show of samples here, to-day, was rather limited. There was a slight improvement in the demand for fine qualities, at Monday's currency ; but other kinds moved off heavily, at that day's decline in value. The imports of foreign wheat are rather over 10,000 quarters. That grain was dull in the extreme, at almost nominal quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were very dull. Fine barley maintained its price; but other qualities were very dull. In the value of malt no change took place. There was a moderate demand for oats, at Monday's quotations. Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper. ARRIVALS THIS WUK. 1 Wheat. Barley. I Malt. 1 Oats. I Roar.

With sheep we were rather scantily supplied, yet the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at barely stationary prices. Calves were in short supply, and heavy request, on former terms. In pigs very little was doing, at late rates. Mitch cows moved off slowly, at from 14/, to 19/. each, including their small calf.
