MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The Hashmy, from New South Wales, has arrived, with 70 ounces of gold. Her advices are to the Oh October only, and have therefore been anticipated. The corn trade is somewhat firmer to-day, and spring cars is at a slight advance. The satisfactory tone of the Continental advices respecting the arrangements in progress for the settlement of a peace is exercising a favour able influence on the quotations of English securities, and business, both real and specu lative, is increasing. Consols have improved this morning about per cent. For money the prices were from 91A to 911 ; the opening values have risen to 91i and 91i, and for account they have reached 91i At present, however, they are 91} The new 3 per Cents. have been 91i 92 4, and the Reduced 4 Exchequer Bills are 6s. to 25., and India Bonds 6s. discount. There has been increased firmness in Foreign Stocks, but the market is not active. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been as high as 914 d. to 92, the 4 per Cents. are I per cent. higher than on Satur day, namely, 1021 to 1021. Venezuela Deferred are 122, Peruvian 41 per Cents., are 791 to and Do., Dollar Bonds 59i, 60, and 61. Portu guese 5 per Cents. are quoted at 56. Russian 5 per Cents. rulesteady at 104, and Saidinian are 89. Rather a decided improvement has taken place in the Railway Share Market, and this description of property is now attracting more attention than for a long time past, Brighton, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and some others have risen to 1 per cent. Antwerp and Rotterdam shares, Madras, and Sombre and Meuse, are likewise dearer. Great Western of Canada are quiet. Mining Shares ruse flat, and the dealings in Joint-Stock Banks are at previous prices. Australian Agricultural are about ss. better.

The butnber voted last year was a total of 70,000. The in• crease in this year's estimates is 6,000 men and officers to complete the complements of the gun and mortar heats, the expense of whose wages will be about 2 73,0001., and also 14C,000/. for victualling, making a total increase under the head of the war service of about 413, 0001. LOUTH OF DEPITY BEDFORD.—This gentleman, who ha s represented the Ward w Farringdon Without in the Court of Common Council for the last 29 years, expired at his country house in Brixton yesterday (Sunday) morning, shortly before 12 o'clock. He was born in March, 1777, and was consequently in the 79th year of his age. M. Swidzinski, one of therrichest landowners of Po dolia has left the city of Warsaw his library, consisting of more than 30,000 rare and precious volumes, a collec tion of Slave and Polish antiquities, a collection of - Polish coins extending to the most remote period, and a magnificent gallery of paintings, by masters of every school. AiILANCHOLY DEATH.—On Tuesday last Mrs. Barker, aged 70, the wife of Mr. Bark,r, who holds an ap pointment at the Hor-e Guards, and who resided in Martha terrace, Walworth, while descending the Stairs a sudden giddiness srized her, her foot slipp, d, r i 1 she fell to the bottom, by which her neck was broken, and she died i ,stantly, TRAPI OF SOUTH WALES.—By the various shipning i metal, and o th er returns it appears th a t th e tra de o South W a l es i s i n a most improve g toe. The quantity of coal raised is daily increasing, and a growing amount daily finds its way to the seaports fur shipment. The towns of Cardiff, Newport, Neath, &c., show an increase of exports and inverts, while at Swansea the rise ban been 'very ereat, showing an increase of import tonnage to the extent of 62,000 tons during the past year. During this period nearly 5 000 vessels entered the harbour, with a tonnage of 450,000 tons Large shipments of iron are shortly to be made f-om the ship ping locality at Neyland terminus, the line to which is now completed. The various dock extensions are also progressing, and a vast amount of new railways and branches will shortly develope the res 'urces of hitherto unwonted localities, while they afford so much employ labour is employ ment that very scarce. In general orders, issued the 13th instant, Ad jutant General Count Osten Sacken is nominated t o b e a mem b er o f the Council of the Empire. It is usual for the Invalide, at the commencement of a new year, to publish numb ers of promotions and nominations, but this time it has taken thegood folks of St. Petersburg by surprise in thus depriving B aron Osten Sacken of his co mmand (4th corps d armee), and shelving him in the Council of the ttapire. Of all the generals in th e C r i mea, Osten Sacken is the only one that has received neither 'Emperor order, nor " gracious letter" of thanks, nor any 3 ,4 ark of distinction, since the visit of the alto hue peninsula, and therefore the relieving him ooraMand must be looked on as not merely an titration made out of consideration for his health, et as vwwporary retirement from active service. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed without any alteration in prices. The sales were 7,000 bales, 1,000 on speculation, comprising 380 Pernam and Maranham, sid. to 6d. ; 100 0 Egyptian, sd. to M. ; 300 Surat, 3id. to sd. ; and 30 Sea Islands, 101 d. per lb. In the Railway Share Market a steady feeling existed, and prices were rather dearer than on Friday. The intelligence from New York by the steamer 22 Canada represents the demand for discount accom modation as having continued active; but trade was healthy, and the merchants and others ex- 3c. pected a material improvement as the spring ad- 5 11.1 vanced. The import a ti on of most ar ti c l es of mer- 5 chandise was extensive, and an increased inquiry for ; i3 specie was likely co arise for remittances to Europe. 10 The advices from California mention that trade 10 was exceedingly dull, notwithstanding the stocks 1g of most articles were much reduced. Heavy rains )5 had fallen throughout the mining districts, and ,t ) . great activity consequently p reva il e d . St. In reviewing the receipts of the French railways S. for the last two years, a comparison between them 2 - 5 and the returns publi s h e d b y th e compan i es in it. Great Britain has been published, showing that 1 3 0 t. while both have in crease d d ur i n g the war, the i t . French have progressed more in proportion. The 1(: gross amount of receipt s on B r iti s h railw a y s i n 1854 2 0 0 is set down at 464 millions of francs, and in 1855 3t. at 506 millions, exhibiting an increase of 46 mil- 10t lions; while the t o t a l r ece ipt s on F renc h li nes 4. were 191. millions in 1854, and 252 millions in 1855, being au augmentation of 61 millions. This 3 1: I speaks well for the general management of the t. French railways. The earnings of the principal lines for the last week show the following increase as compared with the corresponding week of 1854. North of France, 180,151 f., East of France Old, 116,297 f., Do., New 5,396 f., Paris and Orleans, 130,143 f., Paris and Lyons, 76,813 f., Lyons and Mediterranean, 155,658 f., West ofFrance, 145,982 f. Accounts from Russia, by way of Hamburg, state that the Russian Government are raising a new Loan (?) in Finland, amounting to 600,000 silver roubles—equivalent to 100,000/. sterling —to be specially collected in that province, towards defray ing the expenses of the war. From Madrid it is announced by telegraph that the Society of General Credit at Catalonia has bees fully authorised by the Government to comma's operations.

The activity which was imparted to speculation by the publication of the weights for the Spring Handicaps was merely slizht and temporary. Betting is again at a stand still, and the movements in the turf market are likely to be' distinguished by no incident of significance until the acceptances are placed before the public. Opinions are divided respecting Mr. Topham's han diwork at Chester ; some persons unhesitatiegly main tain that he has distributed the imposts with ability and impartiality ; others grumblingly assert that the weights are preposterously light. An old proverb, however, tells us that the proof of the pudding is in the eating ; the merits or defects therefore of the Chester Handicap will be pretty accurately determined by the numerical strength of the acceptances. In the prelimi nary "dip" which I made into the Cup on the first ap pearance of the Handicap, I indicated certain horses which I cansidered " well in." The little betting which has yet taken place shows that the opinions which I then expressed ara shared by the sporting community. Although the Success which attended the steeplechase meeting at Oundle last week was not unqualified, yet it was sufficient to stimulate the promoters of the gather ing to increase their exertions to establish the under , taking on a permanent and profitable basis. They who desire to see steeplechases " regenerated" will cordially support the " of f icials " at Oundle in their efforts to im prove the character of the S port. By the way, I have received the particulars of a very pretty quarrel which has arisen between the proprietors of the Uxendon Farm, Harrow, and the Clerk of the Course at Warwick. In justice to the latter, I must state that he has been very badly used ; but should he carry out his threat of publishing the letters which he has in his possession, he is likely to place Mr. E. in a very awkward position. The cause of the Coventry Stand's not being forwarded to Oundle may, it is said, be traced to the "difference" alluded to. January 28. A FRESH MAN, LAW INTELLIGENCE —(This Day, COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sitting at Nisi Priam, before Mr. Baran Bramwell and a Common Jury.) ALLEN V. THOMPSON,-NVEIAT IS •' A GENTLEMAN?" Mr. Kerr appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Peters dorff for the defendant. This was an interpleader. The plaintiff was the owner of a house situate at Union-grove, Clapham, lately occupied by a person named Dove, clerk in the Audit-office, Somerset-house, and the defendant was a bill discounter and sheriff's-officer. Dove being in diffi culties got into arrears of rent to the amount of 341. 108., and wishing to leave the above premises gave the plaintiff a bill of sale on his furniture as collateral security in the event of his not paying the arrears by instalments, as agreed upon between them. One in stalment had only been paid, and three were now due. The defendant had discounted a small bill for Dove, which he had been unable to pay. The defendant then sued him, and obtained judgment against him, and on his levying, was met with the bill of sale in question, which bad been duly registered in the Court of Queen's Bench. In his cross-examination, Dove stated that the bill of sale was prepared by bis brother-in-law, and attested by his clerk. He had petitioned the Court twice, and was now paying 1301. per annum out of his salary, by direction of the commissioner, towards liqui dating his fernier debts. _ _ Mr. Petersdorff took objections to the description of Dove and the attesting witness in the bill of sale, and affidavit accompanying it, as not being correct and in accordance with the statute. One was that Dove was de scribed as " a gentleman," whereas he should have been described as " a clerk in the Audit-office, Somerset house." lie also characterised the bill of sale as a ruse on the part of Dove to prevent any of his creditors levy ing for their just debts. The learned Baron, in summing up, said the defendant bad been reproached by the plaintiff's counsel with having taken exorbitant interest, and his being a sheriff's officer. Re thought it was high time to get rid of these ridiculous aspersions with regard to exor bitant interest. No doubt bill discounting in many in stances was not in such respectable bands as they could wish, and he was afraid that so long as men were re proached for taking high discounts on doubtful securities, so long would the business be in the hands of the class of persons complained of. The sooner they abandoned casting these aspersions on bill discounters the sooner he thought they would get rid of the class alluded to. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff subject to the opinion of the Court above on the objection raised by the defendant. THE AUSTRIAN LLOYD'S COMPANY. At a general meeting of the Austrian Lloyd's Steam Navigation Company, held at Trieste, a report was read giving an account of its operations during the year 1854. As compared with 1853, the number of trips made by the Lloyd's steamers has increased from 1,465 to 1,875; the number of nautical miles run over, from 776,415 to 857,776, and the number of passengers conveyed from 331,688 to 361,071. Thearnount of cash conveyed was in 1853, 59,528,125 florins ; and in 1854, 85,317,675 florins ; and in 1854, 85,317,675 florins (221,826,000 E). The number of letters carried increased from 748,936 to 901,034, and the quantity of merchandise, from 1,017,618 Vienna" quintals to 1,613,777 (90,371,512 kilos.). The number of small parcels decreased from 52,651 to 49,282. Notwithstanding this remarkable increase of activity, the financial balance-sheet of 1854 was not advantageous as regards profit; and, what had not taken place before for the last twelve years, the expenditure exceeded the revenue in consequence of tke partial interruptions caused by the war at the mouths of the Danube, but more particularly from the increase in all the expenses connected with na vigation, and in particular in the price of coal. The gross receipts, it is true, amounted to 4,875,241 florins (12,676,000 f.), and thus exceeded those of 1853 by 1,423,823 florins; but, on the other hand, the expenses amounted to no less than 5,824,647 florins (15,144,000 f.) making a deficit of 949,406 florins (2,468,000 f.). The nominal capital represented by shares, and by the bonds of the loan contracted by the company was, at the end of 1854, 11 millions of florins, or 28.600,090 f. The com pany possessed at that time 60 steamers, having together 9,440 horsepower, measuring 28,245 tone, and of the estimated value of 9,380,604 fi orius. To these must be added 93 steam-tugs and river barges, mostly employed on the Po. The lines, served by the Lloyd's steamers are the Levant, the two lines from Trieste to Constanti nople and to Alexandria, and the three from Con stantinople to Alexandria, Thessaly, and Caramania ; in the Black Sea, the two lines from Constantinople to Trebizorsd, and from Constantinople to Varna and the mouths of the Danube (Ibrail and Galatz) ; in the Adria tic and in the other waters of Italy and Greece, the cor respondence of Trieste with Venice and Chiogga, as well as with Istria, Fiume, and th e w h o l e o f C roat i a, Dal matia, and Albania ; and, lastly, the lines from Trieste to Letraki, from the Piraeus to Calamaki, the Morea and Eband from C or f u to Malta, touching at Ancona; e Afolfetta, and Brindisi. The communications between Trieste and the ports of Austrian Italy are daily ; en the other principal lines they are, according to their importance, twice or four times a month. Inconsequence of th.e competition caused to the Lloyd's by the English Peninsular and Oriental Steam Naviga tion Company, and by the French Messageries IrnyeS- Hales, the Austrian Government has allowed to the Lloyd's an annual grant of a million of florins (2,600,000 f.) for ten years from the Ist of Jan,, 1855.

Spring corn, the supplies of which were moderate, was, in fair request, at the late decline. Most of the continental markets continue dull for wheat, yet the decline in price has not been extensive. New York letters state that about an average export business was transacted. Very moderate supplies of home grown produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 6,050 quarters of wheat, 2,323 oats, 6,634 beans, 113 tares, 5,123 linseed, 5,765 rapeseed, 469 sundry seeds, and 1,790 sacks of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to day, coastwise, were bat moderate and mostly in damp condition. By land-carriage, the supply was rather limited. The aggre gate show of samples was by no means large, and factors generally were firm in their demands. The amount of business doing in all kinds however was small, without leading to any quotable change in the prices realised on Monday last. We were fairly supplied with most descriptions of foreign wheat. The demand was almost wholly confined to small parcels for immediate use, at last week's currency. I❑ floating cargoes, very little was doing on former terms. The show of English barley was moderately good, and he trade ruled somewhat active, at an improvement in he quotations of is per quarter. The demand for malt was heavy, but no change took place in its value. Oats moved off slowly, yet previous rates were supported. There was a moderate inquiry for beans, at last week's quotations. White peas realised an advance of 2s. per quarter. Grey an•l maple qualities Were unaltered. The flour trade was slow, at last Monday's decline in price.

The imports of foreign stock into London continue on a very limitei scale—the total supply received last week being or.ly 710 head.

The supply of foreign stock here to-day was very limited, and in peer condition. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts put up this morning were unusually small, and the quality of most breeds was not to say first-rate. The beef trade was decidedly brisk, at an advance in the quotations real ised on Monday last of 4d per 81bs. The beat Soots were worth fully 4s 10d per 81bs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire were 1,800 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England 400 of various kinds; and from Scotland 300 Scots. We wore rather scantily supplied with most kinds of sheep, in but middling condition. The mutton trade ruled brisk, and the quotations improved 4d. per 81be. The best old Downs were worth 55 per Sibs. There was less activity in the veal trade than on Friday, yet prices were supported. The , primest veal realised 6s per 81be. Pigs were in moderato supply and fair request at ful prices. The supply of Irish stock in the market was very limited viz.-42 sheep and 12 beasts. Per Blbs to sink the offals. s. d. e. d.I s. d. s d.

No. CXCV. r A pleasant gossipping paper upon " Table Talk' —leading off the eight new articles in the old Quarterly—introduces us in imagination to th e homes of John Seld en , o f Williamilazlitt, and of Samuel Coleridge. Nay, more, it carries our fancy to th e dwelling-place ofMartin Luther, where we listen to him babbling, in his slippered ease, about th© wearing of love-locks by wo.tien— and suddenly breaking off in his discourse with a " Let us talk of something else," as though the theme were too much for him to speak of with any degree of sustained equanimity. The contribution referred to comes to Land appropriately enough, midway, as it were, between the anecdotal bio. graphy of Sidney Smith and the promised record of the bon mots heard by the initiated at Samuel ' Rogers' breakfasts, hard by the Green Park. An earnest essay upon the noble subject of "Reforma tory Schools ' next appears among the present con tents of the Quarterly, and evidences throughout the fact of its having emanated directly from the heart and the conscience of an active, genuine, practical philanthropist. A wag, too, in his way—ae we glean from his casual record of the subjoined scale of the value of Boy Labour, as jotted down by a Farmer of the West of England :- 1 Boy is a boy • 2 Boys are half ? a boy; 3 Boys are no boy at all. The critical, biographical, literary, antiquarian palaver about " Menander," given immediately afterwards by another reviewer well " up " in the old Greek comedian's life and writings, as well as admirably versed in the recent disquisitions upon the same, given to the world of letters in 1854 lsy Charles Benoit, and in 1855 by Guillaume Guizot, will be seized upon as a welcome tidbit by the stu dents of classic literature. Strange is it to find the old Christian sentiment-- " He dies the earliest whom the gods love beet—" articulated in so many words, centuries and een. turies ago, by the old pagan dramatist— " Ov yap Not tpiXovatv, aroOvnatzEt vtoc." Stranger still, almost, to find how accurately Me nander has expressed in Greek the grand, trutk that— " The voice of Conscience is the voice of God—" " Bporot c araatv ottutariatc ©fog." It is agreeable to turn over the pages coming to band immediately afterwards, affording us, as they do, so genial a notice of Mr. Frederick Lawrence's recent biography of Henry Fielding, and giving us, while doing so, the memoir of our glorious no velist all over again, in a form very ingeniously epitomised. Articles upon " The Neology of the Cloister," upon " Landscape Gardening," and upon " The Zoological Gardens," succeed, and these ia turn are crowned by the political chapter of the Quarterly, for this once—relating, as a matter of course to the present (shall we say to the recent ?) War—its "Results and Prospects." It is amusing to find in the last-mentioned contribution, not the faintest inkling of an anticipation of the sudden collapse of all our warlike preparations, consequent upon the sinister auguries of a precipitate compro mise with the Russian Government. The New Quarterly Review. Those who are desirous to keep themselves an courant with the literature of the day, and have not time for wading through many periodicals, will find the New Quarterly of service. In addi tion to a digest of current literature, most of the principal productions of the quarter, French, German, and Italian, as well as English, will be found in the present number, as was the case with its p redeeessors. L ITERATURR Reading Lessons. Edited by E. Hughes. Long. mass. This series of reading lessons is published in two volumes, and has been undertaken with the object of supplying an assistant to teachers in the instruc tion of the young, and at the same time affording a course of reading books on the chief branches of English education. The different departments of physical geography, scientific biography, geology, vegetable and animal physiology, ethnology, na tural history, political and domestic economy, chemistry, mechanics, natural philosophy, astro nomy, music, and literature, are all treated of in separate divisions by authors of established reputa tion. It is justly remarked in the preface that it speaks well for the intellectual progress of the future that men of such ability do not think it be neath them to popularise, for the use of the young, those sciences of which they are themselves success ful cultivators, and in many instances the acknow ledged readers. At the same time the difference of the authorship affords a variety of style very in structive for the perusal of the young. It must be understood, however, that the work is not intended for the very young or uneducated. The subjects selected, as well as the language and method em ployed, presuppose a certain degree of intellectual culture and development. At the same time it is to be commended for bringing the study of the pure sciences within the attainment of those to whom the scientific terms employed, or abstruse interpo lations, have detained from acquiring a knowledge of them in works of a more distinct scientific cha racter. It is well known that no department of knowledge tends so much to strengthen the reason ing powers, and therefore even a moderate ac quaintance with them is greatly to be desired, even if the student's pursuits should prevent them from being more directly useful to him. The rapid sale of a large impression of the First Book encouraged the editor to prepare a second, in which the general method is similar, though each article takes the student a step forward in the science of which it treats. It only remains for us to add, in commend ing this work to all self-instructors and teachers, that. the editor has used it for some months in the Royal Naval Lower School, Greenwich, of which he is head master, and has found it satisfactory and efficient. Vagabond Life in Mexico, By Gabriel Ferry. James Blackwood. This work was originally published in Black. wood's Magazine, whose readers will doubtless re member its striking- scenes and remarkable delinea tions. The writer was for seven years resident in the country which he describes, and truly, if his picture is a faithful one, we cannot admire his selection of a residence. A n u t ter disregard of human life, and wanton indifference to robbery and murder, are among the most prominent features of the Mexican character. Justice is most ineffi ciently administered, and nothing is more common than duels and assassinations in the open street s ' Nevertheless the adventures and escapes which the author encountered, are sufficiently entertaiu: ing to the reader, if not very agreeable to the ac or. The various wandering characters he ma with, the leperos, the banditti, the miners, . the thieves' lawyer, the Jarochos, and their companions, are all sketched with v i gour an d effect. The his tory of the elopement of the young Spaniard, who interesting was afterwards murdered, forms an e v n e i rd od u e n. , eo a , nd w t h bo om a u t t h h's e or ata p h u o r r s u f i o t l l o o f w D e d on fo T r Tomas leagues from mere curiosity, aad who then proved to be a bravo, from whom, for some time, his life was in danger. Those who delight in nar ratives of adventures, and are attracted bylpic tures of social existence in wild and la w l ess dis tricts, amid the mixed interest and d esperate characters hero deli neated, will find i n thi s volume abun dance of and excitement. _an. By J. Sheridan Hogan Montreal. B. Dawson (Samps on Low, Son, and Co.) Canada, and her Resources. liy Alexander Morris, A.M., Montreal. B. Dawson (Sampson Low, Son, and Co). A. brace of essays on Canada and her Resources to the f ormer o f w hi c h the first prize was awardeci by the Paris Exhibition Committee of Canada, and to the latter, on a reference from that committee, the second by the Governor-General of British North America, Sir E.

Both roductions are illustrated by large maps, contain a vast amount of well-digested information, and may be consulted with advantage, by all parties interested in the present condition and prospects of Canada. Accepting the decision of the commit tee as to their relative merits, we will only remark further, that both essays reflect honour on the in telligence of the colony.
