iarter ect of MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no further change to report in the geno -I'4l Money Market to-day. An easie► feeling, how ever, prevails, because the available supplies are abundant, and the demands for commercial par- Poses are moderate. An unfavourable feature at the present moment is the continuous outflow of gold, and this movement, which, it appears, is likely to be maintained, precludes the expectation of any material reaction in the rates of discount. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £437,000, and the exports £532,000, Which includes £5,890 taken out to-day by the West India steamer Shannon. The Continental Exchanges, yesterday afternoon, Were, in most instances, rather higher. The suspension has taken place of Messrs. Hol royd and Norton, icon merchcnts, of Laurence Pountney-hill. A dividend of 3, per cent. for the half-year, Making 6 per cent. for the year 1862, will be pro posed at the ensuing meeting of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company. The first general meeting of the shareholders in the Alliance Bank of London and Liverpool has been convened for the 6th proximo. Two o'CLocic. The market for English Funds to-day has been dull and heavy. Speculation is curtailed, but the operators are effecting sales in preference to pur chases, and the quotations consequently tend down ward. Consols have been 921 for transfer, and 924 for the sth proximo. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced have receved to 924 ; Exchequer Bills 6s. to 10s. premium ; Bank Stock is flat at 235 , and India7'ditto 227 and 229, and ditto 5 per Cunt. Loan 1081 1.

Spanish Passive Bonds have been in request, and have improved to 24 Q 25 ; ditto, Cer tificates, to 101 4; Greek are firm at 161 ; Italian at 691 ; ditto, Railway Loan, at 73; Peruvian Stock is 584; Portuguese New Loan, 468; Russian ditto, 954 6 ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, 85 6 ; do., 185 8, 704 711; ditto, 1862, 664 671; and the Con solides, 404 4 ; Venezuelan Loan, 614 4. A heavy tone is again apparent in the Railway Share Market, and prices have shown a downward movement. Lancashire and Yorkshire, Brighton, and North Western have declined ss. ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and North Eastern (Ber wick) 10s.; and Great Northerns 55.; Bristol and Exeter improved ss.

A prospectus has been issued of the Anglo- Parisian Brewery Company, with a capital of £200,000 (of which one-half is to be first issued), in shares of £2O. The object is to purchase a freehold brewery at Ivry, near Paris, with 20 acres of land, which is described to be expressly adapted for Bavarian or Lager beer, a description largely consumed in Paris. MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.—The following extraor dinary act of benevolence has just been reported by the chaplain to thin noble charity :—A lady, being per mitted to visit the wards on the 6th inst., went from bed to bed, and in the most quiet and gracious manner presented half a sovereign to almost every one of the patients as a new year's gift, and as a thank-offering for her recovery from a dangerous illness. The number of patients so re lieved amounted to nearly 300. GLOUCESTERSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS.

Nothing less than a bale of weight will take the bounty, and the cotton must b e sound and clean. The bonus is not to exceed 10,000 lbs. altogether ; and, in case there are more claimants than can be satisfied, the first applicant are to receive it,—.Auf rattan and New Zealand Gazette. In order to satisfy in some degree the Neapolitan lo ngings for a court the King has resolved to send h . la sister-in-law, the Duchess of Genoa, now married to the Marquis Rapollo, to take up her residence at the southern capital. The duchess is said to possess very pleas ',TlP', affable manners, an d t o b e i n a ll respec t s we ll calculated to create a favourablo impression upon the Neapolitans. tier stay will probably be prolonged fur three or four months, during which time she will be surrounded by all the attributes of a court, give receptions and balls, patronise local industry and charitable institutions, and in fact eis 44rge all the extra-official duties of a crowned head.

But the stone in his hand s became miraculously as soft as butter, and slipped out of his fingers. Then he sat down on the rock and gave a huge howl of despair. The guides still show the depression on the top to testify to the fact of his having sat there, and marks on the sides which were made by bis fingers. At all events, ' the Devil appears on this occasion to have become, in cricket ing phrase, butter -fingered, and to have let drop the stone. Perhaps the rudiments of a grand moral lie under the nume rous legends which represent the Author of Evil as so often outwitted. The knave is, after all, but a roundabout fool. —Once a Wok. 1105 106 106 )08 106 108 06 97 :5 97 10i 110 111 113 112 114 111 113 104 105 loa 101 99¢ 100 O'J 994 109 11 t I 105 106 10 11/ 109 111 107 109 110 114 lay. 1271 132 li 66 i ; 1174 384 f 10.4.34 1 1291 9 1 1 4 I P 52; 99 57; EBf 41ei 53 i i 856 Business done 105; 6 100 100 10u 100 100 1081 110 * 10 47j 911 19] zi 2.4.9 11 10.0.; 3.15.0 18.1 -.9 28.9.

Mr. Spooner said this was a case sent by the magistrates of Birmingham for the decision of their lordships. '1 he defendant, it appeared, 20 years ago separated from his wile by mutual consent, she having at that time separate means of her own. Many years afterward - 3 the husband, having heard nothing of his wife, married again ; but even• tually the first wife became chargeable to the parish, and the defendant was applied to under the sth George IV. to provide for her support. This he refused to do, and the magistrates were anxious for the opinion of their lordships, whether the husband could be treated as a person unlawfully leaving his wife a burden to a particular parish, and amenable to the penalties contained in the said act. The Court was of opinion that he was not amenable to he act cited. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) Its lordship was occupied the whole of the moaning in hearing a case of illegal distraint, which did not possess the slightest public interest. COURT OF PROBATE. WILLCOCK V. WILLCOCK AND DUTIiOIT. The examination of witnesses in the case was resumed this morning. The widow, in this case, in the first instance, propounded the will, but the brother of the deceased, a resident in Canada, offered the granting of pro'ate on the ground that it was not made in accordance with the act, and that the testator was not in a state of mind capable of executing a will when he signed the document. The property involved amounl s to about £6OO per annum, derived from an estate situated at Canonbury, Islington. The will directed the property to be sold, and several small legacies to be given to the testator's brothers and their children, and the bulk of the proceeds to be paid over to the widow. The Coln t pronounced in favour of the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BURGLARY PREVENTED.—Two rough •looking fellows, named Joseph Neal and Robert Wilson, were charged before Mr. Knox, as follows Henry Bartlett, 142 F, raid that about one o'clock that morning he was in Dudley-street, and observed the two prisoners standing in a doorway, and than leave it, and point towards him. The prisoners then went into a public house at the corner of Tower-street, and walked through different streets, and back to Dudley-street, when they again placed themselves in the doorway in which he had observed them before. He then went up to them and aaßed why they were loitering about the street, and Wilson said they wanted to go to Old Mace's, a publichouse, to have something to drink. He told the prisoners the persons in the house had all gone to bed, and that they could go to another house it they wanted anything to drink. Feeling satisfied what their object was, he took hold of Wilson, and in an inside coat-pocket he found a long new rope (used by burglars for letting themselves down cellar flaps) and he then called for assistance and took the two prisoners to the station, when on searching 'Wilson he found some keys on him, and on Neal, who had thrown a box of matches away on his road to the station, he found a " jemmy" of first rate workmanship, some keys, and a candle, the usual stock of burglars. Mr. Knox, it having been intimated that a remand was asked for, said that sufficient evidence had been given that day, and remanded the prisoners, one of whom it was stated had been convicted. PICKING A CHIEF CONSTABLES POCKET.—Thomas Isracarthy, a shoeblack, was charged with picking the pocket of Major Greig, chief constable of the Liverpool police, staying at the Westminster Palace Hotel, of a pocket handkerchief.

The Queen of Naples. The subjoined reply of the young Queen of Naples to an address of the ladies of her Court, presented shortly before her return from Augsburg to Munich, conclusively disposes of the cruel and wanton calumnies which have been circu lated within the last two months. The following is tram. slated from the Munich eorrespondenco of the Gazette of Augsburg of the 11th inst : " The Queen of Naples was received, on her arrival at Munich, by her mother, the Duchess of Bavaria, and all her suite. Her Majesty has received from the ladies of her Court, now in Paris, the following address : " ' Madam,—The ladies of your Majesty's Court, driven upon a strange coast by the tempest of the revolution, are impelled, once more, alike by their duty and their wishes, to offer your Majesty, on another recurrence of New Year's day, their ardent aspirations for the re-establishment ni your Majesty's precious health, in order that your Majesty may be enabled to proceod whether your heart calls you to join the King, our sovereign lord and master. ' Under the fair Italian skies your Majesty will find tranquillity and happiness. We cherish this precious hope, and that that proud, luminous crown which adorned your Majesty in midst of the dangers of Gaota, and the sorrows of exile, will acquire a new glory when you once more stand beside your Royal husband, the worthy son of St. Louis, Francis 11. Heaven will enable us to renew in the face of the world and at the feet of your Majesty the assurances of our devotion and veneration, when your Al ajesty shall be seated on the throne of your fair city of Naples, now de serted and regretting her beloved Sovereign. Deign, Madam, to accept our homage.' (Here follow the signatures.) " To this address the Queen sent the following gracious reply : " ' Augsburg, Jan. 4, 1863, Convent of Ursula. " Ladies,—Once more the evidence of your fidelity and your devotion comes to solace my exile. I gratefully accept the,wishes:you express for the re-establishment of my health. Placing all my trust in the Divine Goodness I await the moment which may restore me to my husband and enable me to partake his misfortunes and his hopes. " ' Receive, ladies, the assurance of my thanks and my friendship, " MARIE.' " It is asserted that Queen Christinia is to be per mitted to return to Spain after an exile of about eight years.

It is expected that his Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon will deliver a speech in the Senate on Italian affairs. The Prince has quite given up the idea of visiting Egypt.

WESTMINSTER. RECEIVING TOLEN GOODS OF CHILDREN, - John Knight, a chandler shopkeeper, in Old Pye-street, West• minster, was charged with feloniously receiving a goose which had been stolen on Friday afternoon. Mr. Arthur Martin, poulterer, 5, Lower Eaton-street, Pimlico, said that at three o'clock yesterday afternoon he missed a goo e from the board outside his shop. The goose now produced resembled the one he had lost. Mr. Paynter inquired what evidence there was of the stealing the goose. The police replied that there were two boys in custody who were taken on Friday afternoon, and remanded until Friday, for the felony. In the course of their examination it was p. oved that they had taken the goose to the pri soner's shop in Old Pye-street, upon which a warrant was granted to search his house, which resulted iu the pri soper's being taken into custody. John Harfleet, 36 B, said he went with the warrant last night to the prisoner's house, and having stated the object of his visit, prisoner said he might search—he had got no goose there. His wife then moved hastily from the shop into the parlour, but witness followed her. She then went into a coal cellar and closed the door, but witness followed her and found the goose, which was hanging up in a very obscure place. On the way to the station the prisoner said he had bought the goose that day for 4s. He subsequently stated that he had bought it for Bd. per lb. Mr. E. Lewis, solicitor, said that prisoner had been out all day, and knew nothing about the goose. Mr. Paynter remanded the prisoner till Friday. On bail being solicited for the prisoner, Mr. Paynter in quired his character. Michael John Sheen, a detective, said that the prisoner and his wife had been long known to the police as notorious receivers of stolen goads from children. The place was being daily visited by juvenile thieves, who disposed of their booty there. A constant watch was kept upon the police, and prisoner managed his business so adroitly that the officers could not detect him. Prisoner was remanded, and bail refused. QUEENSLAND. The following monthly abstract of intelligence, published for the convenience of European jour mils, appears in the Queensland Guardian, dated Brisbane, Oct. 18: The Governor returned from Cape York on the 24th, having satisfactorily completed the object of his mission. Port Albany, or Albany Island, o%e-third of a mile from the shore near Cape York, has been fixed on by his Ex cellency Sir G. F. Bowen as the site of the proposed sta tion. The township is to be namel SJmorset, after the First Lord of the Admiralty. Mr. J. C. White, an enterprising colonist, has published a prospectus of a company to take up country near Port Albany, with the view of exporting horses to India. The commander of H.M.S.S. Pioneer, in which the Go vernor sailed north, has stated his opinion that the Great Barrier Reel is rather an advantage than otherwise to the coast of Queensland, and that the dangers of Torres Straits are less than those to be met with in the ports of London and New York. Between October 31 and November 3 no fewer than four large immigrant vessels arrived from the United Kingdom —the Rajasthan, from Birkenhead, June 23, with 269 im migrants ; the Sultana, from Plymouth, August 2, with 4 0 ,0 ; the (heal. Chief, from Greenock, July 14, with 330 , and the Prince Consort, from Queenstown, August 2, with 450. Some little temporary inconvenience has naturally arisen from the sudden influx of so large a number of persons, and one or two caws of individual hardship have occurred, but most of the immigrants are now comfortably settled down in various parts of the country, and the demand for labour far from being met. , Telegraphic in.elligence from England to October 2 reached Brisbane cn the 11th inst. The mails arrived on the 17th. Fresh discoverieE of gold and copper have taken place in the north, not fat from Port Denison. Wool still continues to arrive in large quantities from the .nterior for shipment. The various cotton fields are looking remarkably well and the yield next picking must be considerable. The colony is again mffering from drought, and rain i earnestly looked for. Th o Queensland Steam Navigation Company are increas ing their capital, with tie view of running vessels on the suuthern coast. Chinese sheep are about to be introduced into the colony, under the auspice of the Queensland Acclimatisa tion Society, Mr. A. J. lockings, a citizen, undertaking the expense. The early closing movErnent is making good progress in Brisbane. Parliament is prorogued to April 21, to meet "fordo spatch of business." - The Tramway Company has at last disappeared in the Insolvent Court, and the work will be carried on by the Government. The Prince of Wales' nujority was duly celebrated on the 10th inst. A new channel has beendiscovered through the bar of the Brisbane River, whirl: will materially diminish the work to be performed by the dredge. ,An explosion of gas took place the evening be fore last at a milliner's shop in the Rue du Contrat- Social. A customer who was in the shop at the time was seriously burnt about the head and face, and the stock was instantly in a blase. The dariage, however, w as con fi ne d to the shop, and is estimated et about 4,0001. THE WEATHER IN PAiis.—The mildness of the weather continues to be extraordinary for the sea son of the year.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. Private letters, dated Fortress Monroe, Virginia, Jan. 1," received by our Chatham correspondent, announce several items of intelligence connected with the movements of a portion of the North American squadron. The screw-frigate Melpomene, 51, 600-horse power, Capt. C. F. E. Stewart, arrived at Fortress Monroe on Christmas Day, and, having given provisions to the vessels at that place, sailed again on the 29th ult. - The Melpomene was to proceed to Bermuda, at which she would call on her return to England to be paid off after being in commission upwards of three years and a half. The Petercl, 11, 150-horse power, Commander G. W. Watson, left Fortress Monroe for Charleston on the 26th of December, after which she was to proceed on a short cruise. Her Majesty's screw corvette C dams, 21, 400-horse power, Capt. J, F. Ross, was at Fortress Monroe at the departure of the mail. A numerous party of shipwrights and other mechanics are employed on the iron paddlewheel steamer Recruit, 6, 166 horse power, in No. 4 dock at Chatham, where that vessel is undergoing some extensive repairs preparatory to being commissioned. At present she has her decks ripped up and her paddleboxes removed, in order to be supplied with new ones. She is also being furnished with new bulwarks. Her engines, boilers, and machinery have undergone a thorough overhaul at the hands of the dockyard officials, and a report of their con dition forwarded to the Admiralty. In the internal fittings of the Recruit provision is to be made on board for the following quantity of allot and shell :- 240 filled 32-pounder shells; 15 filled and 20 empty of the common, and 10 filled and 30 empty of the segment 20-pounder shells ; and five boxes of the 12 pounder diaphragm shells. Her solid shot will in clude 480 32-pounders and 60 20-pounders. In the powder magazines she will take 73 cases of pentagon whole, and five cases of metallincd half. Letters received at Portsmouth from the West Coast of Africa state that her Majesty's screw gun vessel Espoir, Commander Douglas, had sent into Loando, for trial before the Court of the Mixed Com mission, a Portuguese boat captured at sea. The boat at the time of capture contained only five slaves, but it contained £l,lO sterlieg in cash for the purchase of others. This would be the first time of the Court being called upon to exercise its func tions during a period of seven years. Considerable excitement prevailed among the traders and slave dealers on shore in consequence of the capture, but no doubt existed but the boat, slaves, and treasure would be condemned and become prizes to the Es poir. A large Dutch barque and a brig under Eng lish colours had been detained by the Espoir and sent in to Sierra Leone. The second master of the Espoir, who joined the last Niger expedition in search of Dr. Baikie by order of Commodore Ed monstone, had returned to his ship at the conclusion of the expedition. The Investigator, screw steamer, employed in the expedition, being a 'et ssel of very light draught, was enabled to pass over the nume rous shoals existing in the river's course up to a dis tance of 200 miles from its mouth. Nothing could, however, be heard of Dr. Baikie. He was said to have started for a place called Sokatu, of the situa tion or extent of which but little is known by Eu ropeans. In other letters received from the same quarter slavers were said to be plentiful, and all the officers and me❑ in the squadron were on the qui vive for captures and prize money. The Leveret, screw gunboat, tender to the Daunt less, screw guardship, in Southampton Water, will make her official trial of machinery at the measured mile, in Stokes Bay, on Monday, on the completion of her refit. The Tyrian, screw gunboat—of a new and improved class for foreign service—will make her official trial on Tuesday, and the En chantress, new paddle yacht, will make her trial of speed on Wednesday, weather permitting in each instance. The Egmont storeship remains at Spithead for final orders. Capt. Crauford has cpplied to the Admira ty for Phipson's ventilating apparatus to be fitted on board prior to the ship sailiug for her desti nation. As it could be fitted in ebout five (Lys, and has proved its merits in the most satisfactory manner during a lengthened trial on board the St. Vincent training ship at Portsm9uni, there is every reason tor Capt. Crauford's request being acceeded to, especially as the Egmont will ,be placed at Gatis factory harbour moorings in a part of the world where a supply of pure air is one of the necessaries of life. The cost of fitting the apparatus on board the St. Vineent did not exceed £2OO. Her Majesty's ship Caradoc, 2, iron paddle vessel, was yesterday commissioned at Woolwich by Lieut. Wilkinson. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Alfred J. Pratt, assist.- Burg., to the Triton, and J. N. Compton, master's assistant, to the Caradoc. THE ARMY. Earl de Grey and Ripon, Under-Secretary of State for War, accompanied by Major- Gen. A.Tulloh, Director General of Ordnance, yesterday paid an official visit to the several departments of the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. The *Woolwich division of Royal Marines as sembled yesterday on parade, in full dress, to wit ness the distribution of medals and gratuities awarded by the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty to the following soldiers for long service and good conduct, viz. :—Serg.-Major G. Smith. medal and £l5, 22 years' service; Colour-Serg. J. Uod frey, medal and £l5, 21 years' service ; Privates Thomas Perry and George Viney, each a medal and £5, 21 years' service. The medals were pre sented by Col. Mitchell, who addressed the reci pients in appropriate terms. The Government having decided on enlarging and extending the present ordnance stores and gun-wharf at Chatham, to meet the increasing re- 1 quirements of those establishnients, an important application from the War-office was yesterday submitted to the Chatham Local Board of Health, through the Royal Engineer Department, request ing the sanction of the Board to the Government acquiring the public road leading from High-street through Globe-lane to the drawbridges passi ng over the trenches, and skirting the buildingknown as the match-house. The purpose is that the Ord nance stores may be extended as far as one side of the public thoroughfare known as the Military-road, including the adjoining plantation, the Government thus adding to the enclosure an additional Six acres. In return for the road and land thus ceded to the Government the War Department proposes to hand over the Military-road, now belonging to the Crown, to the public of Chatham; in addition to which it would construct a new roadway leading from Med way-street into the Military-road, besides giving the public some other advantages. The application on the part of the authorities gave rise to consider able discussion at the board, the majority cf the members considered it desirable that every facility should be given the Government for increasing their establishments, provided they would gran the town a site on which to erect a townhallurti. other public buildings, now greatly needed. mately it was decided to refer the applicationded to a _ committee, and that a special meeting o f the Board be convened to take the propos al of the Government I into consideration. A number of non-commissioned officers were yesterday despatched from the head -quarters of the Royal Engineers, Chatham, to various districts, for the purpose of raising men for that branch of the service, which is much below its proper strength. The young meu required for the Royal Engineers are skilled mechanics, printers, surveyors, engra vers, and phozographers. FIRE ON BOARD THE GREAT BRITAIN.--About eight t,'clock on Thursday evening the watchmen connected with the Great Britain, lying in the Bramley Moor Dock, discovered a dense volume of smoke issuing from the hatchway of the cook's berth. Assistance being promptly at hand, in about an hour after the alarm was given the fire was effectually subdued. The damage dons was tr;vial. How the fire originated is unknown. GREAT EXECUTION.—A despatch from St. Paul, Minnesota, states that about 38 Indians, condemned for taking part in the massacre, were hung at Mankato on the morning after Christmas- day, and that " the gallows were so constructed that all fell at one."
