MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELTAGMNO2, CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. All the stook markets are very quiet and dull in town. There is an almost entire absence of support en the part of the public : and consequently what- Ewer changes have taken place are in the adverse direction. The demand for -Money is still considerable, ana rates are firm at 11 to 1 per cent., on the best com mercial bills. Short loans on Government securities are in demand on the Stock Exchange at 1-1 to 2 nor cent. The Funds are flat upon some small sales, and an absence of purchasers.

The New Honduras Loan is steady at I to it 2)rem. United States 5-20 Bonds are higher, at 71i to 72, but otherwise there is no change in American ,Securities. Eries are 49 to 49i ; and Illinois, 89 to 90. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are firm at 26f to 27f, and the Consolidated Mortgage 13onds have improved I, to 28 to 29. English Railways are flat, but there is only a fail or It in the Midland, London and North Western, and Metropolitan. The quotations are :—Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1251 to 12E/ ; Midland, 104 k to 105 ; South Eastern, 72 to 72f ; London and -North Western, 114/ to 114/ ; Great Northern, 104 k to 105 k ; ditto A, 98f to 99 ; Great Eastern, 31 to 31f ; Great Western, 46f to 47 ; Brighton, 48 to 48f ; Sheffield, 42f to 43 ; Metropolitan, 113 to 1131 ; and Caledonian, 82:k to 83.

The Helvetia has arrived from New York with XlO,OOO in specie, and the Bavaria with £6,500. It is probable (says the Manchester Examiner) that the Manchester cotton spinners, in conjunction with the Liverpool cotton brokers, will shortly wait upon the Colonial Secretary to point out the great desira bility of obtaining more accurate reports of the cotton crops in various places. The half-yearly meeting of the Tottenham ana Hampstead Junction Railway has been called for the 31st inst. The ordinary general meeting of the Waterford and Wexford will be held on the 30th hist, axed that of the West Somerset Railway on the game date. The Central Argentine Railway have called their ordinary general meeting for the 31st inst. The directors of the Metropolitan District Railway Company propose an issue of £400,000 of perpetual Six per Cent Debenture Stock, being the balance of the debentures and debenture stock unissued under the borrowing powers of the special acts. It is offered at par, and will bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum from the Ist of January last. On these terms, allowing for the accruing interest, the price of the stock is £97 14s 6d, giving interest at the rate of £6 2s 6d per annum. The South Metropolitan Gas Light Company nave Convened the ordinary general meeting of proprietors for the 6th April. M. Wendelstadt, one of the directors of the Bank of Darmstadt, and the representative of a committee representing the German holders of the Bonds of the city of Leghorn, has addressed a memorial to the Government of Italy, demanding payment in specie, and it is stated that the Prussian Government is sup- Porting the requisition. Two years ago some Belgian creditors of the city of Leghorn made a like application, which was equally well supported, and their demands are not yet satisfied. The following remarks upon the present interesting condition of the silver market are from Messrs. Mocatta and Goldsmid " The India Exchanges having advanced in consequence of the continued rise in the prices of cotton and the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company having simultaneously reduced their rate of freight per cent., there has been a sudden, though not altogether unexpected, demand for silver for the East. The amount purchased Within the last three or four days probably exceeds 430 0,000, the bulk of which will be despatched to tombay, via Marseilles, at prices varyin g f rom 601 to 61 1. The former is now the nearest quotation, and even that is almost a nominal one, as to-day there have been no fresh transactions, and it is difficult to form any idea as to the future movements of the market. There is scarcely any silver now here, but very considerable quan tities are deposited in France and Holland, a portion of Which would be available at 61 to 61k. Mexican dollars would advance in proportion to silver, but, as coin, there is not any inquiry for them. The arrivals of gold have been Unimportant, and have been all purchased far exportation • the demand, however, is not sufficient t o ca ll f or 'with drawals from the Bank to any extent. Large shipments of Spanish doubloons to Havannah have been effected, chiefly through France, and very high prices have been paid." According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Three per Cent. Rentes were 69f. 60 e. Firm. Metropolitan District Railway issue of £400,000 D ebenture Stock, 1} prem.

I am a believer in triumvirates. DISRAELI—I rather believe in the Dictator or Imperator ; but a triumvirate is often a convenient concession. The thing will work. CAIRNS—Not a doubt. Poor Chelmsford wept when you gave him his dismissal. DISRAELI—Yes, on the grand-maternal bosom of his beloved Morning Herald. But tears were his strong point at the bar, and you may forgive him for being lachrymose when he makes his final exit. CAIRNS—What in the world shall I do with Malmesbury ? Of course he'll want to behave as if he led the Peers ; and, sitting on the woolsack, I shall have no chance of pinching him when he be gins to make a fool of himself. DISRAELI—Poor old "If Possible !" H e ' s a good fellow—the best ever produced by the race of Harris. Don't be hard upon him. CAIRNS—Not I. At the same time, I should like to discover some way to prevent his ,making those delicious blunders at which journalists will laugh. You and I never make such blunders. DisnAELL—Speak for yourself. I am sorry t o say that my taste for epigram occasionally leads me into mistakes which I can't help laughing at afterwards. "Ape and angel" is one case in point , " educating the Tories" is another. CAIRNS.—Yes, the idea of educating a Tory is ltnost too good. Teach Newdegate tolerance or Manners common sense. Well, being a lawyer, you see, I manage to avoid these little errors. DISRAELL—To tell you the truth, I don't think they matter much in my case. " The wondrous boy who wrote Alroy" is supposed capable of ab surdity. They look upon being First Minister as a good joke—but not likely to last. CAIRNS.—They may find it serious and perma nent. By the way, I felicitate you on the plan you have adopted with those recalcitrant judges. The new proposal will work well. I suspect Cock burn is already exclaiming, " Sorry I spoke!" DISRAELL—What should you have done if Cock burn had had to write to you instead of Chelms ford? CAIRNS.—Sent him back his letter, endorsed, " Pray reconsider this." But Chelmsford couldn't bully a flea. DISRAELL—He might drown it in his tears. He's Walpole's only rival in that line. CAlRNS.—Bouverie's speech was delightful. DISRAELI—Very. He'd like to be back at the Poor-law Board. I could see Gladstone wince when he described the Liberals as a rabble—with leaders that couldn't lead, and followers that wouldn't follow. It was very hard on the people's William. CAIRNS-It was. But the Liberals have a flat tering unction, which they just now use pretty freely. They say they permit you to be Premier just as a precedent for Gladstone : when you have had a few weeks of it, you are to be turned out, and be is to come in. DISRAELI —A charming scheme. One of their resolutions, no doubt drawn up by Russell and Coleridge, and agreed to at a Carlton Gardens caucus. Let them try it. They'll find they're dealing with a different man from the Earl. CAIRNS —Why, he was not afraid of them. DISRAELI—No, nor of anything in the world. But he was too chivalrous to meet Russells and Gladstones on equal terms. lie cared nothing for office, and he detested strategy. I do care for office ; and I am more than a match for the whole con clave in strategy. CAIRNS—That I believe. But if they pass a vote of want of confidence ? DISRAELI—I hardly think they dare propose it. I hope they will, however Quem Dens vult perdere, you know. Assuming that they are so foolish, will they get a majority in the present House ? CAIRNS—I can scarcely judge. DISRAELI—I think not. Bright, Lowe, Roe buck, Horsman, would be dead against them—and that represents a large following. But if they beat me, I wouldn't resign. CAIRNS—No ? DlsßAELl—Certainly not. I should announce an appeal to the country—which, by the terms of the Reform Act, must be deferred to 1869. CAIRNS—And then ? DISRAELI—WeII, then. Do you imagine the new House will be in a hurry to destroy its creator ? CAIRNS—I can't say. We are in arather icono clastic state. By the way, you'll probably have to make a bishop shortly. Who's your man ? DISRAELI—I have not decided. But I don't mind telling you, in the strictest confidence, that it will be either ,laconochie or.Colenso.—Ecohes from the Clubs. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT TRURO.— -A telegram de spatched from Truro at 1.30 this morning states :—A destructive fire has been raging in the central and most important part of Truro for the last three hours. Three large warehouses and their valuable contents have been totally destroyed — one belonging to a grocer, another to a draper, and a third to an iron monger, all carrying on wholesale and retail business es . The fire is spreading rapidly to shops and dwelli ng .. houses, and the damage already amounts to se vera l thousand pounds. The two local engines are of scarcely any use. Other engines have been tele graphed for, and great excitement prevails. The wind is rather high. THE ILLUSTRIOUS ORDER OF ST. PATRICK.• —The announcement that the approaching visit of the Prince of Wales to Ireland will be made the occasion of a Grand Installation of Knights of the Illustrious Order of St. Patrick and, amongst others, of his Royal Highness, is exciting great interest among the Irish people. So far as practicable, the coining ceremonial will be the same as in 1821, the Lord Lieutenant, of course, officiating as Grand Master, in the absence of the Sovereign of the Order. The Knights of the Order of St. Patrick at present, with the dates of their admission, are as follows :—The Duke of Cambridge, 1851; the Earl of Roden, 1821 ; the Marquis of Clanricarde, 1831 ; Marquis Conyng ham, 1833 ; the Earl of I:iowtb, 1835 ; the Marquis of Headfort, 1839 ; the Earl of Arran, 1841 ; the Earl of Wicklow, 1842: Baron Farnham, 1845 ; the Earl of Fingal!, 1846 ; the Marquis of Donegan, 1852; the Earl of Dartrey, 1855 ; the Marquis of Londonderry, 1856 ; the Earl of Granar(l, 1857 ; Vis count Gough, 1857 ; the Marquis of Downshire, 1859 ; thegarl of Cork and Orrery, 1860 ; Baron Dufferin and Clandeboye, 1863; Baron Lurga n , 1-864 ; the Earl of Charletuont, 1865 ; the Earl of Dunraven, 1866 ; and the Marquis of Drogheda, 1867.

WESTMINSTER. DIVORCE AND MATRIAIONIAL CAUSES ACT.—A very respectable looking and middle-aged woman came to the court and requested Mr. Ingham, the presiding magistrate, to grant her a protection order under the Matrimonial Causes Act. She stated that she had been married on the Ist of August, 1858, and only lived with her husband twelve months when he deserted her. I\lr. Ingham-1% hen did you last hear of .bim or see him ? Applicant—l have not seen him since he left me, and the last time I heard of him was by letter six years ago. Mr. Ingham--Under what circumstances did you part ? _ _ Applicant—l left him because of his conduct to wards me. We agreed to separate. Mr. Ingham—You parted by mutual consent ? Applicant—Yes, certainly. Mr. Ingham—How can I say he left you, when you left him, or left one another by mutual con sent ? Applicant- —I really could not live with him, he so much ill-treated me. Mr. Ingham—That may be, but I have no power to grant an order unless he has deserted you. Applicant —I have not received a penny from him, either for the support of myself or child, for nine years. Mr. Ingham—Was it arranged that you were each to maintain yourselves at the time of your separation? Applicant—No. He had broken :up our home, and sold it through drink. I was to go to my family ; he was to get up a fresh home and then send to me, but he never did. Mr. Ingham—That certainly alters it. What do you want protected ? Applicant—Some property has just been left me. He might come and take it, although he has left me all these years to keep myself and child. Mr. Ingham —I will grant you the order from January, 1867. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WEST DRAYTON SPRING LIEETING. FRIDAY. The attendance on the course on the second day was not so numerous, the great falling off being perceptible among the general public.

A MODERN JEREMY DlDDLER.—Yesterday 12 tradesmen dwelling in Poplar, Limehouse, and Step ney, came before Mr. Paget to complain of being swindled by a man named Albert Lindley Barton, who came home as the third mat e o f a s hip ca ll e d the Hotspur, three years ago, and who, they be lieved, had no settled occupation since that time. He was described as a tall and plausible man, whose debts had once been paid by his f a the r , w h o held a very high commercial position. Ile lodged at the house of Mr. Fitzmaurice, of Montague House Academy, Poplar, for five rather extravagantly there, with weeks, and lived wine on his table every Sunday, and one or two servants to wait upon him. H e su dd en l y t oo k his departure from Mr. Fitzmaurice, leaving unpaid a debt of £l6 Bs. Mr. Paget said be could not assist the applicant, who could see his debtor in a county court. Mr. Picnington, shoemaker, of Poplar, repaired a pair of boots for Mr. Barton, for which he bad and be then ordered a p a i r o f side paid him, spring boots for 18s. 9d., with which the modern Jeremy Diddler walked off, pnd be bad not seen him since. The traveller to Mr. Brill, outfitter, in the Commercial-road, said Mr. Barton favoured his principal with orders to the amount of £8 12s. 4d., and the debtor had been since non est inventus. Mr. Peacock, manager to Sh ores an d C o., out fitters, at the corner of White Horse-street, Step ney, said that Mr. Barton selected some clothes, which were sent to h is lodgings, and directions given to the messenger not to leave them with out the money, but Mr. Barton contrived to obtain the goods without paying for them. and came to the shop and ordered more. He observed to Mr. Barton, " Wh y, you have not paid for the other clothes delivered at your residence," on which Mr. Ba r t on stuck hi s hands in his pockets, and s a i d , " I can pay you ; I have the money." He (Mr. Peaco c k) th ought the cash was about to be paid down, but instead of doing so, Mr. Barton said, " Make out a bill for the total amount of both orders, and I will pay them together." Mr. Paget—Then you twice supplied him with goods ? Mr. Peacock—Yes, sir, to the amount of £2O, on the faith of his representation that he was going out as chief mate of a ship. Mr. Paget—Perhaps b e is going out as chief mate of a ship. _ _ Mr. Peacock—Ho cannot; he has no certificate of competency. Mr. Paget was afraid he could not keep the ap plicant, whose only remedy was to summon the man to the County Court. Mr. Peacock hoped that publicity would be given to the scandalous frauds committed by Mr. Barton on himself and other tradesmen. Mr. Paget-4 don't keep an advertisement office, the press will m os t lik e ly ass ist you. A chorus of indignant tradesmen said they would summon Mr. Barton to the County Court as early as possible. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. --- OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT. MERITORIOUS CON DUCT OF A CONSTABLE.—John Parker, alias Scott,. and Win. Butcher, alias Leadbetter, two ruffianly looking fellows, described as costerrnongers, were charged, before Mr. Knox, with being drunk and wilfully breaking a pane of glass of the value of £l, at the Hereford Arms, Park-street, Grosvenor square, and also with assaulting Mr. Henry Carter, the landlord, and Police-constable Squires, 66 C. Mr. Carter said that about half-past five o'clock yesterday afternoon the prisoners came into his house, and were served with a quartern of gin. They stayed for about a quarter of an hour, during which they made use of very bad language, and then left. Seeing them returning up the street he closed his door to prevent them coming into his house again, when the prisoner Butcher put his foot through a pane of glass of the value of £l. He went outside to take hold of Butcher, when Parker, taking off his coat at the same time, said, " I'll kill you if you don't let him go," and then gave him (Mr. Carter) a violent blow in the eyes, blackening them both. Assistance arrived, and the prisoners were given into custody. Henry Hill, of No. 5, St. George's-road, Shep herd's-bush, proved seeing Butcher break the pane of glass in Mr. Carter's window. He dragged Butcher into the house to save him till a constable came, and saw Parker assault Mr. Carter in a shame ful manner, Mr. Carter being lame from rheu matism. Police-constable Charles S auk s, e 166 C, said that on going to the Hereford A rms, he found the land lord, Mr. Carter, lying on the floor and the prisoner Parker striking him, and the last witness was hold ing Butcher. He took hold of the prisoners and got them out of the h ouse, and a s h e was go i ng along Park-street with both hi his custody Butcher kicked him on the knee, c ausing him to fall to the ground, but he stuck to the prisoners, and they fell with him. On getting up again he handed Butcher over to the last witness, and took Parker, who tried to kick him in a delicate part, saying that he would ruin him f or l i fe ; but through his seizing Parker's leg the kick did not take the effect intended. Parker also threat ened that if he ever got free he would seriously injure him. [The constable, who is a young man, limped in his walk.] Mr. Knox said he thought for a youngst e r lik e the constable it required no ordinary amount of courage to secure such fellows as the prisoners. But the constable had done more than that, for, without drawing his truncheon, he had succeeded in b r i ng i ng the prisoners before him. the constable had acted very properly, and he hoped his conduct would be reported to the proper quarter. Barnes, the gaoler, said the boots the prisoner were wearing had holes an inch and a h a lf thi c k heavily studded with nails. W. James, 71 C, proved assisting in taking the prisoners a part of the way, and hearing the threats made use of by Parker. Mr. Knox said lie should remand the prisoners, and take time to consider whether he should not send them to the sessions. The constable was then limping, and he (11 . 1 r. Knox) did not k now b ut that he might be injured for 78 82 43 45 33 35 27 29 18 Li 101) 110 li 21 li 2( 102 103 U 1 46 18i 16i 98 100 91 91 100 102 93 03 69 91 83 S 5 101 105 100 101 1004 1014 P 10J 101 b 7 89 BRITISII DIENES.
