ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CI l'Y, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no material alteration in the appearance U. the money market, the inquiries being moderate and the rates steady, although the tendency is Up- Ward. The advises from New York to the 10th inst., r eport the M one y M ar k e t as being easier, and good bills were readily taken at 6 per cent., although many capitalist s con ti nu e to hold back their means in order to place them in United States Treasury notes. bearing 6 per cent. interest. Gold had further declined, and the exchange was rather lower. Stocks and shares were depressed. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week represent that business in some departments has slightly improved. At Manchester there has been a better inquiry for cloths and yarns for the - India and China markets. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders field, however, has shown no material change, the chief inquiry having been for light fabrics for the B P r lng. The hosiery and I.ce trades of Leicester a nd • Nottingham have remained without material alteration, while in Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been mere activity, owing to th e preparations made for the i nten d e d festivi ties consequent upon the marriage of the Prince of Wales.

The ,narket for the English Funds continues exceedingly depressed, s ,les being effected in con -IN-quence of the anxiety felt with regard to the P. lish difficulty and the serious embarrassments to which it may give rise. Speculators have seized the opportunity to operate for a decline, and the outstanding e ngagements are certainly larger than they have been for a considerable period.

Tilt, - MARKETS--This Day. MARK LANE. In the country markets , he ld on Saturd iy, selected par- re cels of English wheat were in moderate demand, at p vioue quotations, but other kinds were difficult of sale. Melting and seed barley ru led firm, and prices were well supported. Beans, peas and flour, however, changed hands flour, to a limited extent on former terms. The wheat trade, on the c ontinent, is steady, at late rates , Advices from New York are to the effect that the demand for wheat, flour and maize was less active, at rather lower prices. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals ad of amEnglish gr ain were moderate. Th e inverts from abro to 7,669 quarters of wheat; 4,770 barley ; 6.424 oats ; 71 beans; 677 peas; 1,362 tares; 400 linseed ; 2,592 sundry seeds ; and 8,711 barrels of flour. to this morning's ma rket, the arrivals of Eng lisFhrgersah up grain were small; however, with the supply left over from last week, the quantity exhibited for sale was mode • rate, and the condition of the produce was tolerably good. Buyers, both of red and white parcels, evinced great reluc tance in making sales, which could only be effected by sub mitting to a reduction in prices, compared with Monday last, of two shillings per quarter. Even at this decline, a clearance had not been effected at the close of business. The show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands was moderately ex ensive, for the most part ex granary. Good and fine Dantzic and the best qualities of red American pro duce moved off slowly, at last Monday's quotations , other wise the trade ruled heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request on former terms. Fine home. grown barley was in demand for seed and malting purposes, at extreme rates. Other descriptions, however, met a dull inquiry, yet the currency exhibited no material change from this day se'ennight. The supply both of English and foreign qualities was only moderate, and fine parcels were diffcult to obtain. Good and fine m . fairly maintained its value ; but in ferior parcels were a dull inquiry at barely late rates. The supply of home-grown and foreign oats was small. Sweet qualities ruled firm at extreme quotations; inferior produce, however, was much neglected, and rates, in many instances, were very low. Beans for seed were in request at very full prices. Other descriptions met a fair average sale, ant the quotations were supported. There was a moderate supply on uffer. Peas were very scarce, and all descr.ptiona commanded extreme rates. _ _ _ Both English and foreign flour sold slowly, yet no quot able change took place in prices, compared with Monday last.

The supply of foreign beasts here, to-day, was middling —of she p, limited, of calves, moderate. Sales progressed steadily, and prices were well supported. Compared with Monday last, there was a slight falling off in the arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland. Those from Scotland, however, were seasonably extensive; but the general quality of the stock was by no means first-rate. The attendance of buyers was good, and all breeds of beasts commanded a steady sale at extreme quotations, and at which a good clearance was effected. A few very superior Scots and crosses were disposed of at 5s per 81bs; but the general top figure for beef was 4s 100 per 81bs. From Norfo'k. Suffolk, E.sex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,900 Scots. short horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 800 various bteeds; from Scotland, 400 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 60 oxen and heifers. There was only a moderate number of sheep in the pens; but their general quality was prime. Downs and half breds sold freely, and the fernier re lized 6s per 81bs, most other breeds moved off slowly, but at Lull quotations. Shorn Downs and crosses sold at 6s to 5s 2d; long woolled sheep, 58 per 81bs. Lambs-1 he supply of which was very moderate—sold steadily, at from 7s 4d to 7s 8d per Blbs. There was a steady sale for calves, at slightly enhanced rates. The highest price was 5s 6d per 81bs.

The contest was exceedingly close. Until noon the numbers were equal. At Ilb Barbour had a majority of 8. For an hour and a half there was no polling. At length one vote was added to the majority. At a quarter to 3 o'clock the numbers were—For Barbour, 142; for Verner, 133. At 3 the majo rity was reduced to 6. Close of the poll Barbour, 140; Verner, 134 ; majority, 6. There was great excitement, but no breach of the peace. The streets were crowded ; the police and military under arms. _ A transport vessel on a new plan has just been completed at Cherbourg. Thirty-six others are nearly finished on the same plan. and they are to be in creased to 50. Each vessel is capable of accommodating 1 000 men, so that in case of necessity the flotilla at Cher. bourg might transport an army of 60,000 men. NEW ZEALAND.—A letter just received by our correspondent at Plymouth says :—" The Maoris have consented to allow a steamer to be placed on the Waikato. A tribe has also offered for sale to he Govern ment 50,000 acres of land, with five miles of the most dis affected district. This is an evident proof that the forbear ance and firmness of our Governor, Sir George Grey, is working most powerfully. The first named concession is considered to be a greater victory than 10,000 soldiers could have won in 12 months." SELLING ARMY COMMISSIONS.—Prom a return issu, d on Friday it appears that, in the last eleven years, 19 lieutenant•colonels have been permitted to sell out, 36 majors, 515 captains, 504 lieutenants, 14 comets, and 57 ensigns. IRE TOBACCO TRADE.—A meeting of gentlemen interested in the tobacco trade was held on Wed nesday, at which Mr. Ayrton, M.P., attended, and sug gested that the meeting ought to ask to have their case con sidered by a select committee of the House of Commons, and that the bill introduced by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer shnild be postponed till the committee made its re• port. The suggestion was adopted by the meeting, and Mr. Ayrton undertook to move in his place in the house for the appointment of a select committee. ILLINOIS COTTON.—The Chicago Times of 27th ult. says :—" The first bale of cot ton ever packed in Chicago was sewn together yesterday. It is made of cotton grown in the southern part of this State, which, for fineness of grain and general adaptability to the requirements of the spinner will compare favourably with that brought from the far South." There was a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Mr. John Henry Krabbe, who suspended payment in consequence of his connection with the firm of Messrs. lanvrin, Grassie, and De Lisle. A state ment of the affairs was presented by the accoun tants, Messrs. Quitter, Ball, Jay, and Co., from which it appeared that the liabilities of the London house amounted to £4,504, and the assets to £1,644. The liabilities of the corresponding house of Per nambuco, trading under the names of Krabbe Thom, and Co., were stated to be £18,966, and the assets £9,341. The engagements of the firm at Bahia, carrying on business under the name of John H. Krabbe and Co., were represented to be £38,465, and the assets £25,698. It was resolved that the estate should be wound up under a deed of arrange ment to be registered under the Bankruptcy Act. The official returns relating to the trade and navigation of the United Kingdom for the twelve months ending the 31st December, 1862, have just been published, from which it appears that the total declared value of the exports during that period in amounted to £124,137, 812 agai nst £125,102,814 the year 1861, showing a decrea se of £9 65 , 002 . The decrease is most p eree p tibte in cotton yarn, cotton manufactures, machinery, sheep and lambs'- wool, and woollen manufactures. The imports of the principal articles have be en smaller As regards raw COMA, tallow, sugar, tim ber, and tobacco. The shipping accounts exhibit a slight increase in the amount of tonnage employ ed in the foreign trade for both the entries inwards and the clearances outwards, as also in the coasting trade for same period. euaNiur SUPPLY Besets Sheep - 1,310 Calves Pigs ....

The prisoner told Mrs. Jefferies she was in set , ice and doing well. After the prisoner had teen in the house some time, and represented she had a week's leave of absence, Mrs. Jefferies went out leaving her in charge of the house. On her - return the prisoner was gone. Mrs. Jefferies missed a sovereign from an ornament can her mantel--hell, and a gold pin, a relic of her husband. She saw no more of the prisoner until she was in custody on another charge. The prisoner entered the service of Mrs. Sophia Honour, of Elicott-street, Globe road, and re mained with her for vireo months, until the 27th of January last, when she absconded, while her mistress was from home, taking with her a shawl, a sovereign, 20s, in silo, r, two petticoats, the skirt of a dress, a mantle, and other property ; valued in all at Li. The risener was sub sequently acres ed by Alexander Taylor, a police-constable, No. 1.12 K She was then wearing the shawl and petticoats belonging to her mistress, and they were .aken from her. A mantle belonging to Mrs. Honour was pawned by the prisoner for 3s. 6d., and it was produced mid identifie I. Mrs. Honour also re cognised her shawl and petticoats, and stated, in answer to questions by the magistrate, that when she took the pri soner ieto her service her character was not particularly good There was suspicion on the girl, but to save her she gave her a trial. The girl robbed her the first day she entered her service, and had been entrusted with money to pay the tradesmen's bills. The prisoner had not paid the bills, aid had appropriated the money to her own use. Taylor said the mother of the prisoner had restored to him a gold ring, which the prisoner denied having taken from her mistress. Mrs. Honour identified the ring as her property. Other evidence was given, from which it appeared the prisoner was very unmanageable in the refuge where she was sheltered, and that sh, had been in the service of a gentleman who took her out of the refuge, and in return for the kindness of the gentleman and his wife, she robbed them of clothes and other property. The prisoner's mother said the prisoner always,was a very unmanageable girl. The prisoner pleaded guilty, Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner was a most hardened offender, an ungrateful aad incorrigible thief, who had repaid kindness with ingratitude, and shamefully plundered lit r benefactors. All attempts to reclaim the prisoner had been in va in, and he would try .ha , the severe but whole• some discipline of a gaol would effect. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for four months isl the iiolllo of Cozrection ad kept to bud Mow. 1863. 1291 777 11 90 :'sbi 1005 r9B 25,978 2'a,841 240 229 1,830 3,4 98 3,238 2,579 3,730 3,529 47,058 44,318 13,1 8 11,572 19,902 15,0 4 7,226 6,158 4,191 3,817 13,020 1",33 10,121 13,,90 127/ I,i 24 46,416 47,4tib 81.3 F 77 285 195 120,46) 115,073 L 5,025 5 J,297 1,6 , 6 -- 1,842 1,198 49,0,0 49,172 2,3156 24,093 937 868 37,682 34,469 11 ]6 11 174 11 17/ 25 50 25 50 13 7t 25 25 25 50 25 52t lua 11 90 49k 49i '25 60 25 60 25 60 25 62} 25 65 SPORTING NOTES. The fine mild weather which we have had during the winter has enabled trainer - to proceed, wirhout interruption, with the preparatio , of horses engaged in the early spring handicaps. The Lincoln programme comprises 10 events. For the 0 , . ning event of the meeting, the Trial Stakes, there are 10 entries, the best of whom I shall Lot be sur prised to see turn up in Ripley, a three year old colt that ran very well for his engagements last year, and retired in very good form. The Brocklesby Stakes, for two year olds, closed with 31 subscribers-20 colts and 11 fillies— being an increase over former years, and six above last year, when 25 entered and 13 ran. Amongst the nomina- Lions this year there are some very high bred ones, got by the following celebrate! horses :—Kingston, Sweetmeat, Hesperus, Gemma di Vero*, Leamington, Pelion, Cother stone, Fandango, King Tom. &e., the majority of whose get always showed speed ; and from what we can ascertain of this dark lot of youngsters, we fancy the winner may, perhaps, turn up from La \ I edora. Attraction, Faith, or the best of Lord Stamford's, the latter for cho ice. Tho Grand steeplechase has twenty-three acceptances, the best of whom, at the weights, ought to be the Dane, lOst 101 b ; and Jerusalem, lOst 121 b. Light of Other Days, lOst 21b; and Heads or Tails, lOst 41b, are also favourably treated. The City Handicap has 36 subscribers, for the most part a very second rate lot. Three only of these have paid forfeit at the tia:e these remarks are written. The pick of the basket appears to be Conundrum, 5 yrs, 7st 131 b ; Stanton, 5 yrs, Bst 51b; Shepherdess, 5 yrs, Bst Gib; Everlasting, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b ; and Hubert, 4 yrs, 7st 101 b. The principal event of the meeting is, as usual, the Lincolnshire Handicap, for which Hubert was made the favourite at the Corner on Monday last, though he has been knocked about since. Libellous, 6 yrs, Bst 51b, has seen a deal of service. He ran in eight events last season, and won three. These victories, and his general performances last year, entitle him to some credit. He will be steered by Fordham, and as the right party have backed bim. he must he kept on the right side of the book. Without going through the per formances of all the horses engaged in the race, I will point to those from which the winner is likely to emanate— vii., Hubert, Libellous, Lopcatcher, Peignoir, and Sea Nymph. If HUBERT goes to the post with winning orders, I shall look no further for the winner, but as there seems to be a screw loose, I bhall couple him with LIBELLOUS. A FRESH MAN. CITY BETTING—SATURDAY.

QUEENSTOWN, FEB. 21. The Royal Mail steam ship Australasian, from New York on the 11th inst., arrived here at Boon to-day. She brings 23 passengers, and 388,117 dole• in specie. She landed the Irish portion of the mail, and proceeded at 12.30 p.m. All well. NEW YORK, FEB. 11, MORNING. A successful reconnaissance has been made upon the right wing of the army of the Potomac. Preparations are progressing at New Orleans for the attack upon Port Hudson. The Times correspondent asserts that a disorderly and mutinous spirit has manifested itself among the troops at Ship Island, owing to the arrival there of a coloured regiment. A barque-rigged steamer, supposed to be the Alabama, was off South-West Pass on the 23d ult. Several pilots have been arrested for communicat ing with her. Charleston despatches of tho 3d inst. say that a formidable land and naval expedition was about to attack Charleston. The British steamer Cadmus has brought orders for the British Consul at Charleston to go on board and leave for Havanna. The Federal ram Queen of the West bas sailed down the Mississippi, doing considerable damage. The capture of Sabine Pass by the Confedeiatea is confirmed. They burned the Federal gunboat Morning Light. An Illinois regiment has been placed under arrest for refusing to fight under the emancipation proclamation. It is reported that an expedition against Texas will shortly be fitted out, General Butler taking the chief command. The Federals have entered Lebanon, Tennessee, capturing 600 prisoners. The Federal reconnaissance from Yorktown fell into an ambuscade, losing 30 men. The news of the arrival of the Alabama at King ston, Jamaica had reached New York. The Ala bama was damaged in her encounter with the Hat teras, requiring immediate repairs. The Senate has called for the correspondence between the Federal Cabinet and the French Go vernment concerning mediation, arbitration, or other means of ending the war, and also concern ing the mission of the French Minister to Rich mond. Mr. Sumner has introduced a bill into the Senate to enrol 300,000 negro soldiers. A bill to enlarge the Illinois and New York canals has been defeated in the House of Represen- tatives. The impression gains ground that Congress will accept Mr. Chfise's banking scheme.

The will, which was executed a week previous to his decease, is d entirely in the gallant G enera l's own very concise,handwriting, and contained in these words :—" I give and bequeath the whole of my property, whatever I possess, to my dear wife, for her sole and entire benefit and use." The will of Lieutenant-Cu onel Robert Butler, of her Majesty's Ind an army, late of Welbeel-street, Cavendish square, was proved in London by the executers, therein nominated—namely, his two nephews, the Rev.

Napole )n 111. is reported to have enjoyed him self very much at the late masked bolls. Le roy amu se. why not? Count Bacciochi, I trust, will not r give me the lie, it I venture to say that Napoleon is, after all, a man of pleasure. No beardless habitue du Bel liabile is more fond of dancing; no youth of 20 can boast of dancing the Lanciers with more heartiness than that stern statesman who is on the wrong side of 60. When people suppose him to be buried in deep meditation and busy eurodolling the world, he thinks perhaps of a pretty actress, Mira So-and-so, and inwardly digests the drolleries of some vaudeville like Turlututu. It is but fair to own that he knows how to act the gallant to a lady; and I am sure that, on the occasionotthe ,s r t ecr , t marriage of Earl Cowley 's daughter with Lord Royston, no fault the British Emba ss y , there was fault to be found with his courtesy.--‘ Spectator. ~~•` I ~. irtha rgue c. 2 ;eded I tho le de rf the '
