MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Star and Garter Hotel Company, Richnhnd, Surrey, announces that no further application for shares will be received after to-morrow, nearly the 'whole of the capital, £120,000, having been realised. The directors are very sanguine that the company will be a decided success from a commercial point of vijw, and from the antecedents of the Star and GArter, with its European reputation, added to. its Most eligible situ a ti on , th ere can be but little doubt that the investment is not only a safe one, but will yield a fair rate of dividend. The weekly returns published by the Bank of England authorities to Wednesday last, contains some very important alterations. An increase of nearly £3,000,000 is shown in the other securities, which is owing to the very large discount business transacted there during the past week. The bul lion one. reserve of notes show a considerable falling, notwithstanding the almost daily influx of gold. This diminution, however, must in a great measure be attributed to the continued absorption of coin throughout the country both for trading and agri cultural purposes.

Tea, sugar, and cocoa, have remained at about previous prices. Coffee, however, has been at rather lower rates. Rice has continued in fair request, at full quotations, but in the tallow market a down ward movement has been perceptible in values for both present and forward delivery. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 67f. 95c. —Heavy. At the first general meeting to-day of the share holders of the Standard Bank of British South Africa a dividend was declared of 63. 9d. per share, free of income tax, on the 10,000 shares of the first and second issues, being at the rate of £l2 per cent, per annum on the capital paid. It was also resolved that £lOO of the unappropriated balance, together with £lO,OOO received in premiums on the second issue of shares (in all £10,100) be carried to a re serve fund, and that the balance of £3O 10s. be car ried forward to profit and loss new account. The Scotia, from New York, has arrived with £79,000. The English Stock Market is dull and depressed, and Consols, which left off yesterday at 93-1 for money, and at 931 , 4 for the account, have receded to 93,1 -7„ and 931 1, respectively. A few sales have produced this retrograde movement. The New Threes and Reduced are 91i 92 ; India 5 per Cents., 1081 ; do,, 4 per Cent.

WESTBROOK, This bankrupt was asolicitcr, of Islarsham-street, and this was a meeting for lust examination and discharge. The debts are stated at £675, and debts secured £7oo—atsets, good debts, £l3B. There was no opposition, but his Honour adjourned the case for an amendment of the accounts. ADELPHI THEATRE. FIRST APPEARANCE OF MISS BATEMAN. Mr. Webster commenced his winter season last evening, and had the wand of Prospero fallen into his hands, he could not have created a greater change in the interior of his theatre than it presented on the admission of the public, compared with its appearance but two or three nights ago. Then it was dark, dusty, and faded; now it is light, bright, and brilliant. In fact, a more woodsrful embellishment has never been made in so short a space of time. The great feature of the evening, however, was the debut of Miss Bateman, an American actress of great celebrity, in a play called " Leah," a translation of the German play of " De borah," in which Madame Ristori appeared at Her Majesty's Theatre last season. It will be remembered that, some 10 or 12 years ago, twa juvenile comedians, "The Bateman Children," respectively aged six and nine, appeared at the St. James's Theatre, in selections from our best English comedies, and created a very favourable impression by their acting; the young lady, whose arrival has been heralded in the usual public way, is the senior of those two children, but now a matured actress. We must candidly confess we have always had a horror of the forcing " principle that must be employed in bringing up a juvenile prodigy to the mark of excellence, because, as a rule, it always ends by crushing out all taste and inclina tion a child may exhibit for any particular study. Few, very few, who have undergone the exhausting efforts have been heard of in after time, and as the excellence of their early training has not been shown, it cannot but be surmised that they have, when the opportunity presented itself, thrown up a study which could only have engendered dis like, and completely destroyed all real natural ability. As a rule we think this must be taken to be the case, but as there is no rule without an exception we are pleased to re cord Miss Bateman as one of those rare instances. The play of " Leah " is intended to illustrate the persecu tion endured by the Jews in different parts of the world, and in the present instance the scene is laid in Styria, and to prepare the audience in some measure, the following lines appear in the play bill— " Happily the last vestige has disappeared from our own annals of religious persecution, but that on the Continent, and especially in some parts of Germany, it subsisted to a very recent period. In a remote village of Styria, whose inhabitants, simple and primitive in their manners, live in Christian peace and harmony with each other, the appear ance of a poor Jewish maiden with her aged relatives is sufficient to rouse the worst passions of human nature, and to convert the peaceful peasant into a ferocious hater of his fellow-creature. The wretched outcasts are denied all communion with their Christian brethren—they are deemed incapable of the common feelings of humanity, and bent only on evil and sordid gain, and the village knows no rest until they are secure that the Jewish intruders have been hunted from its boundaries." The plot is rather long, but briefly narrated, it is as follows :—A young Jewess named Leah, with two or three of her persecuted race, on their way to Bohemia, are compelled through sickness to halt on their road and make a temporary resting place at the outskirts of a village in Styria. By accident a young farmer, Rudolf, the son of the magistrate of the place, and the betrothed lover of aladelena meets the Jewess Leah, and an attachment, occasioned no doubt by the beauty of the suffering and persecuted maiden, is formed. The frequent and unusual absence of Rudolf from :home induces certain inquiries as to the cause, but none suspect that it is occasioned by his attachment to Leah. Through the instrumentality of Nathan, an apostate, who, 15 years ago, became a Christian to further his personal and worldly interests, the residence of the young Jewess is discovered, but not her love for Rudolf. In order to escape the ill treatment to which she and others of her race had been exposed, she leaves her temporary habitation and encounters Madelena, a niece of the village priest, This young lady, feeling a kindly sympathy for her sufferings, endeavours to persuade Lorrenz, the magistrate, to allow her to obtain shelter in the village. Neither the magistrate nor the priest is disposed to be deaf to the young damsel's solici tations; but their charitable impulses are worked upon by Nathan, who is known as "Bertolf, the schoolmaster," and who professes such a deep-rooted hatred for the entire Jewish race, that the villagers, following his dictates, turn upon Leah with a degree of ferocity which sets at nought all her hopes of being treated otherwise than as an outcast. Rudolf, however, protects her, and declares that, not withstanding the strong prejudices existing between his race and her own, she is the sole object of his love and at tachment, and that he will speedily diake her his wife. This declaration is overheard by Nathan, who immediately informs the father of Rudolf, and then follows a brief but painful interview between father and son, the result of which is that, as Nathan suggests a Jew will do anything for money, a sum of money shal be offered to Leah to leave the village, and thus enable Rudolf to regain his partly lost affection for Madelena. After a while Rudolf consents to the experimentbeing tried, certain in the deep love of Leah that she will indignantly refuse the bribe; but Nathan, who is chosen to carry the money to Leah, gives it to another Jewess, named Sarah, who gladly promises to quit the village. Intelligence is at once sent to Rudolf that the Jewess has accepted the money. But in the meantime an old blind Hebrew, who has over heard the interview, detects in the voice of Nathan a villain who has committed other crimes besides apostacy. This so enrages Nathan that he kills the old father on the spot. Leah, however, fearful of her lover's absence, seeks him at his father's house, and is spurned by all, even by Rudolf, who believes the calumnies told of her. Five years are now supposed to elapse, when Leah re-appears, vowing hatred and revenge on Rudolf. In the meantime Rudolf has married Madelena, and their first-born has been named "Leah." Instead of a curse, the heart-broken wanderer breathes a blessing upon Rudolf, and dies, but not before he denounced the treachery and apostacy of Nathan. Having thus outlined the plot, let us now speak of the performance, and first of Miss; Bateman. She is now a lady of the most graceful fi gure, with fine expressive features, glittering, dazzling eyes, and a blonde. Her voice is good, every word she utters is audible (but with it there is the transatlantic twang), and her action grand, imposing, and majestic. It is not until the third act that any great call is made upon her powers; but then, when the effort was made, the audience were most enthusiastic in their applause. The fourth act was also very finely given, and in the concluding scene she gave many of the lines with exquisite delicacy and pathos. Since the appearance of Miss Cushman we have not had a finer actress from the other side of the Atlantic, and when she has overcome some of her Americanisms, which an artiste of her great talent is sure to do, she will become an amazing favourite with the public. Mr. Billington played the part of Rudolf with great earnestness; and Mr. Arthur Stirling, as Nathan, gave evidence of being a very useful addition to the talented company of the Adelphi. The play has been put upon the stage in a magnificent manner, and we have to congratulate Mr. Webster upon the successful manner in which hs has inaugurated his winter season.

The New Law Officers of the Crown. Sir Roundell Palmer, Q.C., M.P. for Richmond, Yorkshire, who has been appointed Attorney-Gene ral in the room of Sir William Atherton, is the second son of the late Rev. William Jocelyn Pal mer, 8.D., of Mixbury, Oxfordshire, by the youngest daughter of the Rev. William Roundell, of Gled statics, York. He was born in 1812, and was edu cated at Winchester, where he gave high promise of his future honours in scholarship. He obtained a scholarship at Trinity College, Oxford, and in 1831 obtained the Latin verse prize for the poem. " Nuraantia ;" in 1832, the Ireland Uniyersity Seh'larship, and the Nowdigate English poem " Steffa ;" in 1834, a first-class in " Litcris humani oribus ;'' in 1835, a fellowship at Magdalen, and the Latin essay "De jure clientelm spud Ito manes;" and in 1836, the Edon law scholar ship. Such a brilliant university career has rarely been known. Mr. Palmer was called to toe bar by the Society of Lincoln's-inn, June 9, 1837, and speedily obtained a very large Chancery practice. In 1848 he was appointed Queen's Coun sel, and is now one of the leaders of the Chancery bar. In 1852 he was appointed deputy high steward of the University of Oxford, of which he i s one of the greatest living ornaments. In 1847 Mr. Palmer obtained a seat in the House of Commons for Plymouth, in the Liberal-Conser vative interest, and retained it till 1852, when his vote against the Papal Aggression Bill, which he joined with Mr. Gladstone, Sir J. Graham, &c., in opposing, caused him to be displaced by a severer protestant, Mr. R. P. Collier, the new Solicitor- General. He regained his seat in 1853, and held it till 1857. In Parliament he took a high position at once by his ability, his unforensic style of speaking, his earnestness, and his evi- dent religions principles of action. Latterly Mr. Palmer seemed to approximate more nearly to the Conservative side of the house than Mr. Glad stone and the Peelites generally. But in 1862, on t he appointment of Sir R. Bethell to the Chancel lorship, and the promotion of Sir W. Atherton to t he Attorney-Generalship, Lord Palmerston secured t he services of Mr. Palmer as Solicitor-General, who Wa s then out of Parliamant. He obtained a seta fo r Richmond by the friendly resignation of Mr. BenrY Rich. Last session he conducted the chief l eg al business of the Government in the house, and this year he took the leading part as counsel for the Cro wn in the Alexandra case. Sir Roundell married in 1848 Lady Laura Weide grave, second daughter of the late Earl Waldegrave, an d sister of the Lord Bishop of Carlisle. He is a H i g h Churchman, in favour of church rates, against the ballot, and earned a high reputation by his e nergetic and eloquent speeches in apposition to m arriage with a sister-in-law. His " Book of p ra ise" is a unique and most valuable repertory of dev otional poetry. jr. Robert Porrett Collier, Q.C., M.P. for Ply mouth, who has been appointed Solicitor-General in t he room of Sir Roundell Palmer, is the son of Mr. Jo h n Collier, M.P. for Plymouth from 1832 to 1841, by Emma, daughter of Me. Porrett, of North Hil l, Devoe. lie was born in 1817, and graduated at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1841, without taking honours. H e was ca ll e d to the bar by the Inner Temple, Ja nuary 27, 1843, an d soon obtained a l ar ge practice ou the Western Circuit. He was for a time Recorder of Penzance.

This bankrupt was an umbrella manufacturer, and this was an adjourned last examination and discharge. Mr. Itecd opposed on behalf of the assignees, on the ground that the bankrupt had not filed a special account which had been ordered in May last, and that he had in curred debts to the amount of i 7,500 within four months of his bankruptcy, and the only assets were about £360. The bankrupt said he could not make out the accounts without assistance. His Honour said that he had had quite time enough to do it. Mr. Reed said the creditors objected to any further allow ances to the bankrupt, or to paying for another adjourn ment. The case was adjourned sine die at bankrupt's expence. IN RE CIIURCII. This bankrupt was a leather merchant in Giltspur street, and this was an adjourned meeting for last examination and discharge. _ . Mr. Bazley appeared for the assignee, and said that there had been no less than four adjournments in consequence of the intricacy of the accounts, but which had at length been satisfactorily arranged by Messrs. Hart Brothers and Hayles, and it did not appear that any benefit would arise from any further adjournment. The examination was passed, and the discharge was adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARY.—John M'Mahon, Alfred Morris, and Wil liam Byrne, the three young men charged with burglari ously breaking and entering the premises of Mr. Thomas George Rotherham Swallow, the Blue Posts, Berwick street, Soho, and stealing a quantity of money, &c., M'Ma hon being further charged with stealing clothing, &3., to the amount of £lO from the house of Mr. Samuel Welsh man, licensed victualler, \Vardour-street, Soho, in the month of July last, were again brought before Mr. Knox for final examination. The evidence against the prisoners in Mr. Swallow's case was not very strong, the two chief points of it being that one of the prisoners (Morris) was found wearing a hat which belonged to Swallow, which was taken from the bar parlour when the burglary was committed, and there the prisoners were seen together about one o'clock on the morning of the burglary in Little Pulteney-street, not far frem Mr. Swallow's house, by Gordon, 323 A, who said that at the time prisoner was wearing " a deer stalker's" hat. Mr. Edward Lewis. of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for M`Mahon, Mr. Neall for Byrne, and Mr. Fisher for Morris. Mr, Knox discharged M'Mahon and Byrne, hearing that there was no further evidence against them in Mr. Swal low's case. Mr. Fisher, having mi.'s-examined Mr. Swallow respect ing the hat, addressed the magistrate on Morris's behalf, stating he would call a witness who would prove that Morris was in bed the night before the burglary at half past 10, and another (Morris's master), who would prove that he had seen Morris wear a hat similar to the one pro duced. Mr. John Davis, tailor, 11, Sherwood-street, Golden square, said Morris had worked for him since May last year to the Ist of September. Prisoner had worn a hat like the one produced till lately, when he wore a sort of cloth hat. He believed the hat produced was the identical one. The prisoner's hat had a black band on it like the ono pro. d aced, he being in mourning for a child. The prisoner never lost a day while working for him, and he had en trusted him with his business. In answer to Mr. Knox, Sergeant Cole said he knew nothing against the prisoner Morris's character. Mr. Knox said he felt no jury would convict the prisoner, and he should discharge him. 111`Mahon was then replaced at the bar in Mr. Welsh man's case. Mr. Welshman said that in July last the prisoner and another came to his house and asked for the bagatelle balls, and went upstairs and played, and then left, and directly after they were gone he went into his bedroom and missed a quantity of property. On seeing the prisoner in custody ke at once identified him as one of the two men. In answer to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Welshman said it was about six o'clock in the evening, that he had last seen the pro perty safe in the morning, and that a great many persons had been upstairs in the course of the day. He was informed by the police that they had taken a man on suspicion of stealing his clothes ; and on going to the station he saw three men in plain clothes, and identified the prisoner. The prisoner when he lett had no bundle. In answer to a solicitor for the prosecution Mr. Welsh man said he had no doubt whatever of the prisoner's identity. _ Mr. Knox said there was nothing against the prisoner, only the fact that he had played at bagatelle on the day the robbery was committed. He should therefore discharge him. THAMES. A YOUNG AND DISHONEST ADVENTURER.—WiIIiam Moore, a boy of 16, who did not look so old, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing a purse con taining 5s 3/cl, the moneys of his sister, Elizabeth More. The young woman who prosecuted her brother is a dress maker, dwelling at 16, Raven-row, Whitechapel. On Tues day night last, when she went to bed, she deposited her purse containing her money, which she had very hardly earned, in the pocket of her dress, which was lying on the bed, Next morning it was gone, and she missed her brother, who slept in the same house. He was taken into custody yesterday by William Reid, 68 H, who asked him what he had done with his sister's money, to which he re plied that he had stolen it, and been to Greenwich and spent it in donkey riding, and that he would do so again when he liked. The mother and sister of the boy were very reluctant to prosecute him, but he was such an in corrigible thief they had no alternative. Mr. Partridge—Has this boy no father ? Mrs. Elizabeth Moore, a widow, said the toy's father was dead, and her son had given her much trouble ever since. W hen she questioned him about his sister's purse and money on Wednesday he denied having taken it. The boy was an apprentice to a respectable tradesman, and had absconded "over and over again ;" in fact, he had con tinually absented himself, mixed with gipsies and tramps, and travelled the country. He was restless, and would not stop long in one place. He absented himself from his work on Wednesday, and spent the day at Greenwich donkey riding. He had been taken to the Worship-street Police court by his master, and promised to behave better ; but he became much worse, and when he wandered over the country, and came back shoeless and pennyless, he refused to say where he had been. She was made acquainted with ace of his journeyings. He went to Liverpool, begged his way there, and begged his way back, and was absent three months. She obtained admission for her son in an asylum for wayward boys in Whitechapel. He behaved very well while he was there, and she thought he was a reformed boy, but when he came out of the asylum he relapsed into dishonest habits, stole some money from her, and absconded again. The boy said he did not care about being locked up. The poor widow, with tears in her eyes, declared that she would submit to any privations to save her boy. Mr. Partridge said it was a hard case for the widow, and for her family. He committed the prisoner under the Criminal Justice Act, and sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. He hoped the prisoner would come out of gaol a wiser and a better boy. Ris Excellency Count Bernstorff left the Prussian Legation last evening to join the countess and family a Brighton, after attending on their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia on their arrival in Erteal:id on their way to visit the Queen at Balmoral.

The application of machinery to coal•mining has been for some time accomplished in the West Ardley Colliery. The steam-engitte works an 18-inch air pump at a pressure of about 501bs. to the square inch. The air is conducted down the shaft in 4-inch i ron p i pes , an d thence about 800 yards to the workings i n gas - p i p i ng, an d w co h n i n ch ec t t r e a d v b efs is propelled yrubbe a little by a r piping to the mac hi ne , hand wheel after every blow given by its pick, and generally it passes three times over the face of the coal-seam, on each occasion armed with a longer pick; the first cut being about IS to 20 inches, the second 9 to 11 inches, and the third 6 to 8 inches; the depth alined at being about a yard. The actual quantity of work done in six consecutive days of eight hours each by one man and two boys with the machine was 6181 yards or about 800 tons of coal. A man will averne 71 yards per day, so that if the machine were worked by shifts of eight hours, three men and six boys would do the work of 40 men. The machine also effects a saving of good coal from destruction equal to an average of ninepence per ton. A second machine on the direct-action principle is being constructed. MARRETS--This Day.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per 41 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appeal" that gold is about 3-10thE per cent. dealer in London than m Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.6} per £1 sterling. tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 1465 per cent., and the premium on gold is 335 per cent. At these rates there is little, it any, profit on the importation of gold from the United states.

A special general meeting of shareholders was held this day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of considering and determining the steps to be adopted to relieve the Great Ship Company from the difficulties that at present surround it. W. Baker, Esq., chairman of the Board of Directors, presided. The CHAIRMAN, in his observations to the meeting, said they were all aware of the difficulties that encompassed the company, from the detailed report which had been extensively circulated amongst them. The directors had done all in their power to make the ship remunerative, but diffi culties unforeseen, and over which they had no control, had arisen, and it had been thought right to call the shareholders together to consider what should be done to relieve the tompany of its present difficulties. It remained entirely with the meeting to determine what should be done as the directors had exhausted all the means at their disposal. After a few words from Mr. TAYLOR, Mr. HAWES proceeded to condemn the policy that had been pursued by the directors. It ap peared to him to have been a mistake throughout for them to place such a ship on the American station, where she had to compete with other ships built for speed alone. They appeared to forget that it was never intended to submit the vessel to the frequent chances of danger in trading with America. (Hear, hear.) She had been built for long voyages, such as Australia and India, yet she had never once been further than America. He never expected that she would pay on the station, and he had told them so two years ago, but if they, by her means, brought Australia within forty days of England success would have been certain. The directors seemed en tirely at a loss as to policy, so he thought the sooner they had a body of men with some more fixed principles the better. (Hear, hear,) He proposed that before anything was decided by the meeting, a committee of shareholders should be appointed to inquire into the present position of the company, and that as adjournment should take place for 10 days, to allow time for a thorough examination of the company's affairs. H.' felt certain they had only to place the ship in the position for which she was constructed to ensure a return for the expense and anxieties she had occasioned. lie had the utmost c onfidence in the capabi- lities of the vessel, and ho felt sure she would triumph over all her enemies. Mr. BLAIR, of Manchester, moved .as an amendment t , That a new company be formed for the purpose of pur chasing the ship, and that the old shareholders be invited to join in such a scheme." Mr. IsTicHoLsorr did not see what use i% committee would be. Supposing the ship was got out of her present difficulties, she would have to earn £50,000 per annum to pay preference claims before the original shareholders got a penay. _ _ . Mr. HAWES thought if the meeting agreed to his propo sition; there was some chance of good arising ; if not, they would then only be in the same position they we re at present. The directors had been at fault all through the piece. The ship had never had a fair trial ; it had, in fact, been an elephant doing the work of a donkey—(hear, bear, and laughter)—and now when there was a chance of putting the elephant to work in its proper sphere, the East—(hear, hear)—he hoped. a last great effort would be made to bring about such consummation. He felt certain one trip to the East would demonstrate the commercial success of the ship. A long discussion followed, on the termination of which the Chairman put the amendment of Mr. Blair to the meeting, when about four or .five hands were held up for it. The motion of Mr. Hawes was then agreed to almost unanimously, and the following gentlemen aPP°i nte o to act on the committee : —Mr. Preebody, Mr. Tbl iv, Brassy, Mr. W. Hawes, Mr. Prowse, Mr. J. 1 0b ,, in er , and Mr. Richardson, with power to add to their nora ti ' vo o f A SHAREHOLDER said there was not a represent° the Lancashire shareholders on the committee. ~e Mr. HAWES replied that he would be glad 007 Lance.. ante of as many gentlemen from Manchester shire as could make it convenient to a ttend. The meeting then adjourned until Mondaff the 12th. his Day.
