V. H. Dthers cou rt. IVUONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, la the general discount market the rates remain as at the close of last week. Instances are recorded of three months' bills being negotiated at 71 per cent., but 7Z- and 8 per cent. are the more general quotations in the open market. The available sup plies largely exceed the current requirements for Mercantile and other purposes, and were it not for the prospect of considerable exports of gold and silver, reactionary symptoms would no doubt ere this have been experienced. The advices received this morning respecting the progress of trade in the manufacturing dis tricts report a more cheerful tone in all departments of business. At Manchester the depression which followed the advance in the value of money has partly disappeared, and manufacturers are again falling back on the high quotations which recently prevailed. The enquiry for wool at Bradford was rather large, and at Huddersfield a slight improvement was also noticeable in the woollen market. At Leeds and Halifax, however, the transactions negotiated were on a limited *Axle, but at Sheffield, Wolverhampton, and Bir- Minghain trade was brisk, and the high rate of discount had but very slightly checked operations. The Norfolk, from Melbourne, has brought £236,524. Two O'CLOCK, At Paris this morning (according to Mr. Renter's telegrams) French Rentes were 67.50. Very firm. _ _ There has not been much animation to-day in the Market for the English Funds, speculation being dull, while the operations for bona fide transfer are too much restricted to create activity. Some sales 'Were negotiated early in ,the day, which led to a fractiunal decline, but the quotations have since rallied, Consols being 90i 91 for money, and after being 911 1. they are now 911 1 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 901 ; Bank Stock is 235 to 237, and Exchequer Bills, 11s. to 7s. dis. India 5 per Cents. remain at 10.61 ; do. 4 per Cents., 1001; the Enfaced 5 per Cents., 1031 ; and the Bonds, Bs. dis. There has been more buoyancy in the Foreign Market, but there is not much activity.

In the Railway Share Market the arrange ments for the settlement occupy the chief attention of the dealers and speculators, and prices in some instances show rather more firmness. South Eastern have improved 10s. ; Great Western, North Western, and South Western, sa. ; while London and Blackwall have declined 10s.; and Metropo litan, 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have been very inactive, and show little change of im portance in values. Bank aid Miscellaneous shares remain withou Inaterial alteration.

RENAN'S `LIFE OF JESUS" has been published in Bohemian at Prague. *AN ( ' Lira * TAt7 Cital far The Great Christmas Cattle Market, THIS DAY. A remarkably fine season for the production of live stock, a very high range in the value of food, an abundant supply of grass, turnips, &c„ in most parts of the United Kingdom, I and a continual increase in the demand for butchers' meat, notwithstanding the amount of distress which has so long prevailed in the cotton districts, combined to produce one of the finest shows of beasts for Christmas consumption in to-day's market almost ever witnessed. Perhaps, indeed, we are justified in saying that the supply, taken collectively, was never equalled. Much has been said of the value and importance of the now extended system of crossing, both in a productive and monetary point of view. We fully admit that judicious crossing has produced important results to the country generally ; nevertheless, we were much gratified to find the pure breeds of the country so well represented, because we may still calculate with safety upon purity and stamina for future breeding purposes. From the large number exhibited, we may, in the first place, refer to the short-horns as a distinct breed. They were certainly quite equal to all former shows, both as regards symmetry and quality. With a very few exceptions, this distinctive and important breed showed signs of great weight. There were fewer " staggy“ animals amongst it than on some previous occasions, and the prices realised for them were, in our opinion, highly remunerative. It will be perceived, there fore, that the shorthorns have supported their great reputa tion as wonderful stock for general consumption. In dealing with the Devons, we find much to be satisfied with. They were in somewhat greater force than in the last two years, and well suited for West-end consumption. Perhaps the best portion of the supply were 40 North Demons, the property of Mr. Senior, of Broughton House, near Aylesbury. These arrivals weighed from 140 to 200 stones each—an unusually great weight for North Devons —and excited the admiration of the most experienced but chers. There were a few what may be termed middling beasts from the west of England, but the supply from that quarter, as a whole, was remarkably fine. The show of Herefords was unusually prime, and the number was rather on the increase, especially from our best grazing districts. With Scots from Scotland the market was well supported, indeed, we may observe, that thin breed exhibits points of great excellence. As usual, Mr. M'Combie, of Tillyfour, was a most important exhibitor. That gentleman for warded no less than 62 pure Scots—viz,, 37 to Messrs. Maidwell and Hoyland, and 25 to Messrs. Giblett and Son. The were no young animals amongst them, and the whole found buyers at high quotations. The Norfolk and Suffolk horned and polled Scots came to hand in splendid condition, and were easily disposed off. There was a good sprinkling of beasts from Sussex, in full average condition. We had hoped from the appearance of the show yard, to see a larger number of young animals ; but we found most of the stock, though wonderfully ripe, not well suited to first-class consumption. In our opinion, Sussex, though not what may be termed a great stock-pro ducing county, could turn out year by year a large num ber of beasts from 2to 3 years old. Many of the beasts shown on the occasion were 6,7, and 8 years old, and had evidently been worked. There was a large and fine collection of Welsh runts, when compared with previous seasons. It is satisfactory to find this description of stock coming forward more freely to meet consumption. We ourelves are at a loss to imagine upon what grounds the breeders have partly abandoned so important a breed, unless they find it more advantageous to adopt the crossing system, and thereby produce early maturity. The stock from Ireland presented no room for special comment. As usual its quality was but middling, and sales progressed slowly, The number of crosses considerably exceeded all former years. Almost every county in Ene,laud—but more espe cially Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire, was well re presented in this respect ; whilst at least two-thirds of the best from Scotland were cross-breeds. The display was certainly a wonderful one. Even quality and fine condition were the leading characterists ; but in our opi • nion the most valuable crosses were those between the Scots and short horns, which, in numerous instances, rea lised as much money as the pure breeds. The following return shows the number of beasts exhi bited, and prices realised for them on the great days in the last 22 years : Years. Beasts Shown.

They were forwarded by Messrs. Martin, Knowles, Wishart, Kidd, Longmore, Ste dart, Beddie, Reed, Frost, Mitchell, and other extensive graziers. Mr. Vorley had a very prime show of stots from Scot land, Norfolk, &c. Mr. Thomas Martin's stand was well filled with fine beasts, among which were three short-horned steers, bred and fed by Mr. John Gamble, of Shouldham Thorpe, Nor folk. Besides those above referred to, Messrs. Giblett and Son had on sale some remarkably prime Scots, forwarded by Mr. A. Mennie of Aberdeenshire and other graziers. At the stand of Messes. Morgan and Allday we observed a noble collection of stots, chiefly from Norfolk. Various other salesmen had a fine show of beasts, but we must observe that there were fewer heavy animals amongst it than in some former years. On the whole, however, the supply was remarkably even, considering the enormous number in the market. The exhibition of sheep was extremely good as to quality . and the number was a fair average one. Messrs. Lintott and Son had some superior sheep— Hampshire Downs —the property of Mr. Pant, of the Isle of Wight. Other prime sheep wer e forwarded by Mr. Bates, of Harpenden, Messrs. Fraulls, Hoare, &c. Mr. John Wall exhibited some very prime sheep from Hertfordshire and other counties. Mr. Charles Burrell had on sale some splendid Hamp shire Downs from W. B. Conning, Esq., of Devizes ; Earl Darnley, Bent; Lord Lucan, &c. Mr. Garrier's stand was well filled with Cotswolds from the flocks of Messrs. Hewer, Craddvell, and others; also with some very superior Dutch sheep, the produce of a first cross with Cotswold rams. Messrs. Eland and Son, Mr. Woodward, and Mr. Han cock had an excellent show from Lincolnshire and other counties. The weight of some of the animals was enor- moue. Mr. Dodd exhibited some very good Hampshire Downs, belonging to Messrs. Wetherington, Highton, Reading, Hodges, Dodd, and Beesley. Mr. Mawer exhibited three superb Hampshire Downs. The same number was shown by Mr. Lathbury from the flock of Mr. W. F. Bennett, of Chilmark, near Salisbury. Mr. B.

Prime Downs and half-breds moved off steadily, at very full prices—the general top quotation being 6s. per 81bs. Otherwise, the mutton trade was heavy, at a decline of 2d per 81bs. Calves were in short supply. No quotable change took place in prices ; but the veal trade was h eavy. In pigs, very little was passing, on former terms.

SPHEROIDAL CONDITION OF LIQUIDS.—Oar readers ln may recoll ec t certa i n cur i ous experiments we mention e d many months ago, by which Professor Tom of King's College School, London, showed that certain liquids, when carefully depriiited from the end of a glass rod upon a watery surface, would spread out into a film, which however would be terminated by an outline peculiar to each liquid, which outlines he called cohesion.. figures. He has now communicated a paper to the _Philo sophical Magazine, in. which he considers the spheroidal condition of liquids at common temperatures. If, he tells us, a single drop of an essential oil, for instance, be deposited on perfectly clean water in a chemically clean glass, a cha racteristic film or cohesion-figure will loe formed, and so much we knew from his former experiments ; but, he adds, Meunier ap shapes ondescribed surfaces if a second drop be gently delivered to the surface o f t h e film, " it will rest or roll about upon it. without conta c t, i n spheroidal c th as e esinwhich form." S liquids assume time globular of their own kind ; this is the case with alcohol upon alc o h o l , but the gl o b u l es do not last long. He also showed that if aosmago l‘ i. s alc o h o l were droppe d upon tincture o f iodine, which i s strongly colour e d, th e g lobule, during its momentary ex i s. tence, does not ta k e t h e co l our , f r om which he argues that there is no contact between the globule and the tincture, a conclusion Which, we think, does not absolutely follow, since it require s a very experienced eye to discover an in finitesimal line of colour on a minute sphere in constant motion, Professor Tomlinson has carried his researches further, and finds in the globular state of ;essential oils a rough approximate method of determining their age; for the fresher the oil is, the longer it persists in a globular shape at the con mon temperature. To exemplify this, he states that he took turpentine as purchased at an oil and colour shop, and delivered a drop of it upon water from the end of a glass rod; the film of course spread over nearly the whole surface. A second drop, b e i ng d el i vere d u pon the film, assumed a spheroidal form, retaining it for an ave rage period of 15 seconds, Immediate'.y afterwards he sub jected the oil he had bought to distillation off caustic potash and repeated the above experiment with the fresh distillate, when he found the average duration of the globule to be 36 , seconds ; so that the fresh globult', compared to the old one, lasts more than double the time, Their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia and Princess Helena dined last night with the Prince and Princess of Wales, at Frogmore. The following ladies and gentlemen were honoured with invitations :—Countess Hohenthal, Baroness Von Dobeneck, Count Furstenstein, Major Von Sehweinitz, Colonel Hon. A. Liddell, and Lieut.- Colonel Hon. D. de Ros. MARK-LANE. The demand for wheat inthecoUntry markets, held on Saturday, ruled inactive, and prices had a downward ten dency. Barley, oats, beans, and peas were a dull inquiry, and they changed hands at, in some instances, somewhat easier rates. In flour, a limited business was transacted, on former terms. On the continent, the trade generally is quiet; neverthe less, prices rule tolerably firm. The exports from New York continue very moderate. The amounts of English grain up to cur market, last week, were moderately good. The imports from abroad amounted to 19,268 quarters of wheat; 34,211 barley ; 10,560 oats ; 2,850 rye ; 5,416 beans ; 7,984 peas ; 3,453 tares; 11,015 linseed; 1,040 oilseeds; 1,350 maize; 300 sundry seeds; 1,201 sacks, and 7,450 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market, to-day, there was a moderate arrival of wheat from Essex and Kent, but the condition of the produce was very middling. Generally speaking, the trade was in a sluggish state. Good and flue dry samples barely supported last Monday's quotations; but damp par cels could only be disposed of by submitting to a reduction in the currency from this day se'nnight of one shilling per quarter. A portion of the supply of dry wheat was taken by buyers from Yorkshire; nevertheless, a clearance was not effected at the close of business. The show of samples of foreign ;heat on the stands was by no means extensive. All good and fine descriptions were held at previous rates, otherwise the quotations had a downward tendency. The amount of business transacted was very moderato. Floatiag cargoes of grain were in slow request, yet no quotable change took place in their value. The show of home-grown barley on offer was moderately large, and with foreign descriptions the market was exten eively supplied. Fine malting qualities, owing to the few samples on the stands, commanded previous rates ; but in ferior produce was dull, and rather cheaper. The malt trade was dull and prices were is to 2s per quarter lower than on Monday last. There was a fair supply of oats on cffer. The demand was by no means active for any description, yet prices were supported. Beans, the supply of which was moderate, moved off slowly at late rates. Peas were in fair supply and slow request, at previous currencies. In the value of flour no change took place. The demand, however, both for home and foreign descriptions was by no means active.

G o ld sm ith, su perintendent of p olice, with being the murderer of Emma Jackson, a prostitute, in St. Giles's, London, on the 19th of April last. The facts will be in the remembrance of our readers. Jackson went to a brothel in St. Giles's company with a man, and was never seen alive afterwards. She was found in the room caorning quite dead, haying been brutall y mur dered, Th e nelt man who was in her comp an y could not be found, description of him, toge ther with the off er of a rewardn-afoar his apprehension, was published in th e L ow/ He was described as h avin g marks o f old on Gazette.

EXAMINATION AND COMMITAL OF TI: PRISONER. SOUTHWARK POLICE COURT (THIS DAY). This morning, in coLsequence of its being known that Samuel Wright, who stands charged with the murder of a woman in the Waterloo-road, was to undergo an examina tion before the magistrate sitting at this court, the pave ment in front of the building was crowded by idle people, the majority as is usual in such cases being of the most questiorable character. As soon as the court was open to the public a rush was made for admission, and in a few minutes the place was crowded almost to suffocation. On the prisoner being placed in the dock he gave the name Samuel Wright. The chief clerk then informed the prisoner that he was in custody on a charge of wilfully murdering a female named Maria Green, otherwise Fanny Wright. He gave a slight shudder as the dreadful crime was mentioned, but immediately assumed a cold and sullen look, which he maintained up to the close of the examine- Hon, The first witness called was Harriet Ireland—She said I lodge at No. 11, Waterloo road, and knew both the prisoner and deceased. They occupied the second floor front room. I live on the first floor. I saw them both about eight o'clock on Saturday night, and then they appeared to be on very good terms with each other. I heard nothing more of them until about four o'clock the next morning, when I was awoke by hearing a scream and a knocking on the floor. The noise continuing, I p art i ally dressed myself, with a view of going up stairs to see if anything was the matter, and as I opened my door 1 met the prisoner coming down stairs with his shirt sleeves turned up. There was blood upon tb.em, and also on the prisoner's nose. I asked him what was the matter, when he replied, " You had better go up stairs and see." I proceeded to his room and asked the cause of the noise. The deceased, in a very faint voice, said, " He's cut my throat." I then l oo k ed in and saw deceased in a kneeling position, and blood flowing from wounds in her throat. I ran down stairs to put on my clothes to fetch a police-constable. While 1 was so engaged, the prisoner came up stairs aga i n and knocked at my door. I told him I was going for a policeman, when he said, " All right," and w ent up stairs again. I afterwards went into the street and in formed the first police constable I could see, and told him what had occurred. Police -constable Newton, 7G L, said he was on duty in the Waterloo-road on Sunday morning. In consequence of what last witness told me I went to the house, 11 Waterloo -road. On going into the second floor front room I found the deceased on the floor bleeding from a frightful wound in her ; throat. I said, " Whatever is the matter," when the prisoner replied, "I have done it, and it cant be helped." In a few moments after wards ho said " Whatever becomes of me you'll be sure to let my friends know." I looked round the room and found a razor (produced). It was open. The blade and handle were covered with blood. I took it up, and, having closed it, put it in my pocket. The prisoner, having taken some water out of the kettle and drank it, turned round and said " There's a razor lying about." I told him I had it, and then, pointing to a knife which was lying on the table, he said " That's what she took up to me." I told him he must come to the station-house, to which he made no objection. When the charge was entered, he merely said " That's all right." Mr. George Harrup, assistant to Mr. Dodd, 191,Waterloo read, said I was in attendance on the unfortunate deceased at about ten minutes past 4on Sunday morning. The pri soner was then standing in the room near the window, and the woman was lying in a pool of blood on the floor. With the assistance of the constable, I laid the deceased on the bed' She was then dead. I found two deep wounds on the throat, one had entirely severed all the main arteries, and nearly detached the head from the body. The wound was from left to right, and extended from behind the ear in the wind pipe. The other wound was from right to left, but not so extensive as that just mentioned. The razor shown to me would inflict the injuries which had caused the death of the woman. This being the whole of the evidence, The prisoner, after being cautioned in the usual way, was asked what he had to say in answer to the charge of wilfully murdering Maria Green, but he made no reply. The Magistrate then fully committed the prisoner for trial. The depositions having been signed, the prisoner was im mediately conveyed to Newgate, and as the sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning, prisoner will in all probability be tried on Wednesday or Thursday The inquest will be held to-morrow at two o'clock, but very little, if any interest, will attach to that inquiry, as the evidence will merely be a repetition of the above.

SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A LIME MAN. —Two young men named Cornelius Mullins and John Buckley, the latter being lame and using a crutch, wore charged, before Mr. Knox, with assaulting Mr. John Wildey, landlord of the Red Lion Tavern, Great Windmill-street, Haymarket. Mr. Wildey, whose head was enveloped in a bandage, said that on Saturday night, a little bofore 12, the prisoners and some others came down stairs from the Concert-room, and had some ale at the bar. Having been told by his daughter that Mullins had broken a glass, he told him that he must pay for it, when he exclaimed, " I'll see you first;" and, on going round to put Mullins out, Mullins struck him a severe blow on the breast, and Buckley, who was lame, took up his crutch and gave him a deliberate and violent blow on the head with it, and but for the interfer ence of a woman who came in at the time, he believed he would have been killed. The effect of the blow was to smother him with blood, saturating all his clothes, and to render him insensible. On recovering himself a little he gave the prisoner in charge and went to St. George's Hospital in a cab, where his head was dressed—the surgeon telling him to be very careful or erysipilas might take place. Williams, 129 C, who took the prisoners into custody, produced Buckley's crutch, on which there was blood, and from the appearance of several articles of clothing produced there was proof that he had lost a large quantity of blood. A witness proved hearing Mullins threaten to "muzzle" Mr. Wildey, and seeing Buckley strike Mr. Wildey on the head a violent blow. Mr. Knox said he should not adjudicate upon the case till he heard that Mr. Wildey was out of danger, and asked Mr. Wildey whether the prisoners were sober. Mr. Wildey said they had been drinking. The surgeon, on his calling again at the hospital yesterday, told him that he could not say he 'was out of danger. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners, refusing to take bail at present. WESTMINSTER.
