Ii0141:iX MARKET AND COMMEMOIAL INTELLIGENes. CITY, Two o'CLocrc. The business doing in public securities is very limited, and in the a b sence o f important outside in fluences, no improvement is expected in this direction until after next week. In the meantime, how ever, the funds are showing more animation than for some time past. The cause .of this return of activity is the present position of the money and bullion markets. Nearly a million and a half sterling in Australian gold is on its way from Melbourne, n and the influx from New York has revived. At the same time there is more money seeking employment at home, while the revival in trade is insufficient to keep up recent rates. Money shows increasing ease. Though the large aisbursernents to take place in connection with the Payment of the Government and Bank dividends will not commence till tc-morrow, its effect is already partially realized. Holders of bills hold back for a day or two, and the decline of business has reduced the rate to about 11 to 15 per cent. Cotton in Liverpool has declined ± to this morning. The English Funds are very firm. Consols are in request at yesterday's advance, at 931 to 93g for money and account ; New and Reduced Three per Cents., 915 to 92; ; India 5 per Cents., 1132 to 1141 ; B ark Stock, 244 to 246 ; Exchequer Bills, 1131 to 114±.

Ile Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap- I t ',?iated Thur s d a y 9 t h i nst., a spec i a l sett li ng day in Four per Cent.. Preference (Convertible) Stock of "e Caledonian Railway Company, to be marked. It is stated, with regard to the Communal Credit t• wan of Belg ium, that the applications for the obliga 11s exceed one million in number, and that, after the Dy number e mbe ont l s rh re b r een reduced one half, it was only e (Messrs. Rothschild) giving up own reseeve that the larger subscribers were enabled to obtain one-seventeenth part of their re quirements. BBe, The S outh Eastern Railway traffic return shows this e, B ee k an inc rease o f £ 958 over last year, an d t h e .righton an i ncrease of £1,703.

At a recent meeting of some of the principal a Sh arehOider S i n Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited), com mittee of fou r gentlemen were appointed for the Purpos e of taking proceedings at common law algainst some of the directors to recover, if possible, portion of the losses incurred. The committee ha ve issued a circular inviting subscriptions from tite s hareholdersat the rate of 3 s . p er s h a re, to sle et the exi:enses connected with the action. It a ppears. i from th e c i rcular that the committee intend, the first place, to select one of their subscribers as Plaintiff ;nal that th e act i on will be taken against such of . . the directors as are k nown to be wealthy. In the event of any compromise arising from the pro posed litigation the directors will certainly insist on the committee handing over to them the whole of the evidence obtained during the protracted and ?ostly investigation ; otherwise the directors would laY themselves open to further action from shareholders ho have not subscribed to the fund. The committee are, it is stated, supported in a highly satisfactory i laautier.

This afternoon the prisoner Peter Monohan, alias Maugham, was placed at the bar on remand, charged with inciting soldiers to desert her Majesty's ser vice, and inducing them to join the Fenian brother hood. The prisoner has been frequently examined and the charge against him substantially proved, but he was remanded after the last examination iu order that one of the soldiers who left his quarters, and who was at that time suffering from illness, might be able to attend. Mr. Poland prosecuted on the part of the Trea sury. The witness Michael Farrell, of the Royal Artil lery, was this morning examined. He stated that he with some others left Woolwich, and went to Vine court,Whitechapel, where he was supplied with plain clothes, which he put on, leaving his regimentals on the floor. The number of his brigade was stamped on his regimentals ; it was 772. After the men had changed their clothes they went next morning to the railway; there the prisoner changed some bank notes in payment for their tickets for their going to Dublin. That was two days after they left Wool wich. On the first day after they left Woolwich they were about to depart for Ireland, when two of their party were missing on the road, and thinking something was wrong he (witness) and some of the others went back to Vine-court to get their uniforms in order to return to Woolwich ; but whisky was placed upon the table, when the men began drinking, and all got so intoxi cated that the object of their return was entirely lost sight of, and they remained in a state of pros tration from drink until the morning he had men tioned when they were all taken in cabs to the rail way station, en route to D üblin. The prisoner was the man who paid the fares to Ireland. Gough, Malony, of the Military Train, Farrell and Sullivan, of the Royal Horse Artillery, accompanied him (witness) to Dublin. When we got to Dublin we met the men whom we had lost in London the morning he had already referred to. When they got to Dublin we saw two of the men we had seen at Woolwich, and they paid their fares across the Liffy to Cumberland house. After that eight soldiers, of whom he was one, lodged at Mrs. Flynn's in High-street, Dublin. About a month after the soldiers had got to Dublin he (witness) met the pri soner there, and he (witness) asked him how things looked. He sail, " Pretty fair ; there's an expedition about leaving America." He (witness) said to pri soner, " You've made a pretty mess in letting my boots be found," to which he replied that be "didn't think they were in the place until the police dis covered them." lie remained in Dublin some time, then coming to his sober senses he found he had done wrong. He went round to the other soldiers, got 6d. from each of them, by which means he was enabled to pay his passage to Liverpool, from whence he walked to London, and from there to Woolwich, where he gave himself up as a deserter. He was sent to prison, on coining out of which he was called upon, and gave evidence against Conolly and other soldiers for desertion. He did not personally know Corydon, but he had seen him in different places whilst he (witness) was absent from Woolwich. • Corydon, the informer, having given evidence to identify the prisoner as one of the deserters he had seen in Dublin, Mr. Poland said that wortli conclude the evi dence on the part of the prosecution. Sir T. Henry then fully committed the prisoner for trial on two charges of treason-felony, and in citing soldiers to desert her Majesty's service. MARKETS—(This Day.) HAY AND STRAW. Supplies of haystuffs at Smithfield and Whitechapel were only moderate to-day, but fully equal to the demand, which :s dull. Ordinary qualities cheaper. Meadow hay, 60s to 84s ; clover, first cut, 80s to 100 s ; ditto, second cut, 505 to 84s ; straw, 28s to 31s per load. COLONIAL. SUGAR.—Prices aro firm, in consequence of the small supplies offering, and a fair demand prevails. Floating 25s Gd is paid for No. 111 and 11 to the United King dom, and 26s for 121- to 13. Manila sells freely at 29s 9d to 31s for clayed. Refined sugars 'are very firm, supply being small. Dutch crushed is held for stiffer prices. Deliveries are good, and keep in excess of last year's at this time. Stock of raw, 50,070 tons, against 66,330 tons last year. _ _ Molassea—The demand is increasing, and rates are firm. West India, 15s Gd to 16s. Coffee—Clearances large, but stocks well kept up by recent imports of Ceylon. The market opens steady. TEA.—Small public sales have opened with fair spirit of private contract rates. RICE is firm, with a fair inquiry. A small parcel, 700 bags white Bengal, at auction, bought in at I 2 6d per cwt. Saltpetre maintains a firm position, but the amount of business passing is moderate. Ilismr.—The market is firmer, but still inactive. Oils remain without quotable change. Linseed, 31s ; English brown rape, 355. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, April 7. —Market quiet, and drooping I to lower. Sales probably 8,000 bales. THE WEATHER IN YORKSHIRE.—The weather is so fine that farmers say the season is one month in ad vance of date. Cornfields and pastures are showing vigorous growth, wheats having in some places outpaced the roller, and aro now quite covering the ground. Clovers are ready for sheep, which, however, are still on turnips, which aro so plentiful and forward that some fields are in full flower. In some cases farmers have had their turnips to crush and plough in as manure. The plentiful supply of fodder yet remaini❑g and the great pro mise of the spring herbage together tend to keep up the pt ices of lean stock, which is and must foi some time re main in good demand. Everything in farm and garden promises well. WORKING WOMEN'S CLASSES, KENSINGTON.-- Reginald Stuart Poole, Esq., delivered a lecture on Thursday last to the working women's classes, at the Class rooms, Newton House, Church-street, Kensington. The subject was "Egypt." The lecturer's remarks bore parti cular interest on account of his extended personal experi ence in the country concerning which he discoursed.

OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Mr. Brierly, the barrister who was committed last night to Newgate for contempt of Court, was brought up this morning, and on giving an assur ance that he would not interfere with the delibera tions of the grand jury he was discharged. FORGING BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATES. George Phillips was indicted for feloniously forg ing certain baptismal registers purporting to come from the parish of Stanmore, and to be the signa ture of James Atkinson, perpetual curate. The prisoner denied that he was the person who committed the forgery, but the jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to 18 months' impri sonment with bard labour. William Rawlings Lindley was indicted for a similar offence, the object in Lis case being to make himself of an age to enable him to enter into com petition for a Civil Service appointment. The forged 'certificate made him appear as 19, when his real age was 25. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and the Recorder sentenced him to two months' imprisonment, his case differing entirely from the foregoing. FORGERY. John Eaglehurst, a fashionably-dressed German, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with forging and uttering a document with intent to defraud. The Recorder sentenced him to 18 months' im pthonment. Charles Smith was indicted for forging a cheque for £5O, with intent to defraud Sir J. Kirkland and Co. The prisoner sent a lad to the bank of Sir J. Kirkland with a cheque for £5O, purporting to be signed by C. S. C. Bligh. The cheque was at once found to be a forgery, and the prisoner was appre hended and charged with the felony. The prisoner, in his defence, said he admitted writing the cheque, but that he thought it would be returned with the words " no effects" written across it. lle wished to get quit of some company he had taken up with, and amongst whom he had spent over £4O. lle thought if he put a correct name to the cheque, and attached some letters, such as V. C. to it, he was not trangressing the law. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. In reply to the Recorder, the officer who appre hended the prisoner said the prisoner had refused to give any account of himself, but from inquiry at the War-office he had every reason to believe that the prisoner's real name was Charles Smith Death, and that he was formerly an officer in the Turkish Contingent. The Recorder said it appeared that the endeavour of the prisoner had been to keep without the cri minal law. He had, however, been guilty of for gery, and he therefore sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—James Williams, a ven dor of chickweed and groundsel, was c h arge d be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting a little boy named Mandell, living in Marlborough-row, Car naby-street. The complainant said that on the previous even ing he was walking along Tyler's-court, having some tea and sugar in his hand, when. the prisoner struck him a severe blow on the back of his leg with a thick stick. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the boy said that he had not said a word to the prisoner, nor taken any ❑otice of him, and that after the prisoner struck him he asked him what he was crying for. Mary Ann Howard, of 6, Queen-street, Soho, gave similar evidence to the boys. The prisoner said the boys were saucy to him and annoyed him. Lazarus Howes, 95 C, who took the prisoner into custody, [said there were only a few little children about, and none likely to have annoyed the pri soner, who was not sober. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that he had often observed, at different places where he had sat, that persons who went about with chickweed were of the wildest character. Ihe assault was an unprovoked one, and the prisoner must go to prison for 14 days with hard labour. WILFUL DAMAGE AT A TAVERN. —James M‘lier nen, a groom, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and wilfully breaking a pane of glass, of the value of £3, the property of Mrs. Ann White, of the Rose and Crown Tavern, No. 287, Oxford-street. The prisoner went into Mrs. White's house in a state of intoxication, was refused to be served by the barmaid, and on the barman putting him out of the house he broke a pane of glass of the value of £3. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the prisoner to pay the amount of damage and a fine of 2s. 6d. WESTMINSTER. WHAT IS BETTING IN A PUBLIC THOROUGH FARE ?-A betting man was charged under the 22d Section, cap. 134, of the 30th and 31st Victoria, which enacts--" Any three or more persons assembled together in any part of a street within the metropolis for the purpose of betting shall be deemed to be obstructing the street, and each of such persons shall be liable to a penalty not exceed ing £5." Sergeant George Stevens, 57 A R, said that at five minutes past four he was on duty at Knights bridge-green, and saw a large number of persons whom he knew to be betting men assembled on the foot way. The prisoner was there with a book in his hand ; he was about to enter something in the book when witness took him into custody and another man wh o was the defendant said h e was not betting, he was << settling." liberated. When taken Mr. Arnold asked if that was all the evidence ? The sergeant replied it was ; the defendant had been previously cautioned about betting in the street. Mr. Arnold said the evidence did not satisfy the Act of Parliament ; it must be shown that he was there for the purpose of betting ; but standing with a book in his hand is not to be taken that he was betting, although it might be considered presump tive evidence of the fact. The only way would be to actually stand by and hear a bet directly made, but that would be exceedingly difficult. He thought the Act of Parliament a difficult one to carry out, and he thought the best thing for the police to do would be to order th e par ti es t o move on, and if on their failing to comply with the order to take them into custody for resisting the constable in the execution of his duty. There was no case against the defendant, who must be discharged. THAMES, ctable mechanic, was brought AN INCORRIGIBLE DnumunD.—Clara Hardy btheefor w e i A fe lr o . f ße a n r s e o s n P , e charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care ,of herself, and also with using filthy language. The prisoner is a most dissipat e d w oman, and has ruined a good husband. She put on a most pitiable countenance, craved forgiveness, and said that she had never been in a station-house until last night, or in a police-court un til thi s morn i ng . This outrageous lie was imm e di a t e l y con t ra di c t e d by Police Sergeant Maddigan, No. 42 K, who said the prisoner had been ten tim es i ll cus t o d y a t t h e Arbour-street Police-station since the 3d of June last. She had been discharged five times and fined five times. Sergeant Maddigan then read the dates of her conviction, and said she had been in custody at other stations. Mr. Benson— How often ? sergeant Maddigan—l cannot tell, sir. I can only speak of my station. The prisoner begged very hard to be forgiven, and said she would never get drunk again. Mr. Benson said the sergeant had spoken of the prisoner being in custody 10 times, and no depend ance could be placed on her word. It would be an injustice to the public and to the husband of the prisoner if he did not punish her. He sentenced her to seven days' imprisonme n t an d h ar d l a b our . AIicITUA _ _ Murphy, an Irish tailor, better known as Drunken Murphy, was charged with wounding his wife and child. Last night the prisoner came home drunk, made a great disturbance, and after abusing his wife, and swearing he would murder her, beat her with a poker, inflicting many severe contusions and wounds. She was removed to the London Hospital in a very precarious condition. The prisoner also beat his daughter, a girl about seven years of age, and gave her two black eyes. Mr. Benson, on hearing that the prisoner's wife could not leave the hospital, remanded him for a week. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BROMLEY SPRING MEETING-MONDAY. Beautiful weather, and the absence of any counter at traction elsewhere, drew an immense attendance to Brom ley, and a fair day's racing, although of the veriest "plat ing" deicription, appeared to be thoroughly appreciated by the spectators. It being "settling day" iu awn, the en closure was only occupied with the smaller class of specu lators, and but little business was done over the different races.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AND INCENDIARISII.—This morning, a few minutes before throe o'clock, a fire broke out in the stabling and provendor stores belonging to Mr. J. Dorman, cab proprietor, Stroud's-vale, York-road, Islington. The horses were rescued, and every exertion:was made by the firemen to save the buildings, but the flames could not be extinguished until the stabling and stores were burnt out and the roof destroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr. Dorman was insured in the Queen Office. About the same time a fire (the work of an incendiary) broke out on the premises of Mr. J. Keen, Notting Barn Farm, Salter's-fields, Notting-hill. Some person set on fire a stack of hay, containing 13 loads, standing upon the homestead. The engines could not extinguish the flames until one-third of the rick, was destroyed. The sufferer was insured in the Sun Office. ACCIDENT TO MDLL IC. Az ELLA.—The groat attraction at the Royal Amphitheatre and Circus, Holborn, for the last few weeks has been the performance of Mdlle. Azella on the trapeze, and those who have wit nessed it generally agree it is graceful, but for a woman excessively daring. No accident or hitch of any kind occurred with respect to Mdlle. Azella's feats since her ap pearance in London until Monday eve.ning, when, unfor tunately, one of those distressing events took place which sooner or later appear to mark the gymnast's hazardous career, and which mar the pleasure of an evening's amuse ment. Madlle. Azella went through her preliminary flights on the trapeze with her accustomed grace, and successfully accomplished what is termed in the bills "a flight across the arena of 100 ft., terminating in a somersault at an elva tion of 30ft. from the platform." Loud applause greeted the performer, who then swung herself from the rest at the back of the stage on which she stands, by a trapeze, with the intention of catching another, which, being set in motion, would meet her at the extreme distance to which the first trapeze would extend. In her flight Madlle. Azella, twisted herself round the cross-stick of the trapeze, using her legs as actively as her arms, and came into position to spring to the second trapeze ; but either the latter did not come its proper distance, or Mdlle, Azella swung herself short of difficult to say which as, when she let go the one cross-stick and sprang at the other she failed to catch the latter, and fell a distance of about 8 eight feet upon the platform, coming down flat on her f Ice. Fortunately her arms were extendedand saved her face from serious injury. The platform is covered with a sort of thin mattress, but as it appears to bo without any spring the fall must have been very severe. The must painful sensation was created by the accident in every part of the house, and there were suppressed screams from the female portion of the audience. Mdlle. Azella was on her feet in a moment, but as quickly fainted and was carried off the platform. One of the managers appeared in about ten minutes, and said a surgeon had examined Mdlle. Azella and found that the muscles of her arm had been injured. The fair trapezist came on the platform after a short inter val, looking weak and deadly pale, and it was evident he face had suffered. She was loudly cheered. CRYSTAL PALACE.—One Shilling Day, Monday, April 6.—Admissions on payment, 1,087 ; ditto by season tickets, 1,191; total visitors, 2,278. Ristori's success in Havana has been even more complete than anticipated by the amiable, elegant, san guine Grau. Alice Kingsbury is at the St. Charles, New 0 rloan s. A troup of Japs in Pesth, Hungary, went to breakfast by the invitation of an enthusiastic admirer of art, and indulged i n the white wines of Hungary until they were long past the power of locomotion. The performance was consequently postponed, money re funded, and the Japs were fined for neglect of duty to the public. In St. Louis there is no lack of theatrical attrac tion. Mr. and Mrs. Floronco, at Da Bar's, are playing the Irish drama to houses as full as the commodious building will hold. The Olympic is doing " Undine." Alfred Moe, a champion skater, is doing " his little utmost," as Polly Eccles would say, to amuse the Mis sourians. After the Florences, the "Grande Duchesse." Barnum retires from the show business, which he hats adorned from the infancy of the great Republic. ROUMANIAN ART.—The ancient gold work, dating as early as the fifth century, exhibited at Paris, and lent by the Roumanian Government to the South Kensing ton Museum, will only remain on view for a few days longer before its return to Bucharest. FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.—A fatal boiler ex plosion took place at South Pelew Colliery, in the county of Durham, on Saturday morning. Mark Loathard, a breaksman, was putting coals on the fire at the time, and he was blown away and killed on the spot. Two or three other persons were hurt, but not seriously. A lot of pit lads had just left the fire hole, and had not got to the bottom of the shaft when the boiler exploded. Had they been at bank they would most likely all have been killed. Thu boiler was one of four at bank used for driving the engine which does the usual work there. The explosion did a good deal of mischief to the buildings about. TIIE DUKE DE MASSA'S OPERA OF DANTE.—The little theatre of the Conservatoire do Musique, Paris, presented on Saturday week a most brilliant appearance, on the oc casion of the Duke de Massa having portions of his opera of Dante performed for the gratification of his numerous friends. About nine o'clock the ladies of the chorus, all dressed in white, took their places on the left of the stage, and the men on the right. M. Daloffre then gave the signal, and the orchestra commenced the prelude which serves as overture to the opera. Mdlle. Nilsson imme diately after came forward amidst loud applause. She was in white, with blue sash, pearls round the neck, and white roses in her hair, and holding a bouquet of lilacs and white roses. The opera of Dante is divided into three parts, and in the first a sonnet was sung so charmingly by the fair Swedish cantatrice that it was encored with great enthusiasm, and the same mark of favour was ac corded to a charming capriccio, forming part of the ballet music which is intercalated in the work, The perform ance did not terminate until half-past twelve, two entr'actes having been arranged, during which visits were nterchanged and refreshments taken, the theatre being for the time transformed into an aristocratic drawing- room. THE OLD SOLDIERS OF THE EMPIRE.--A paper gives some interesting details relative to the Hotel des luvalides. That asylum contains ordinarily a population of 19,000 old soldiers, a small minority of whom this moment belong to the last period of the First Empire. The number of the old companions in arras of Napoleon I. at the Hotel is about 940, and of that number more than 150 have lost a limb, and a few are blind. There is one who has lost both the fore arms, and who, furnished with two hooks adapted to the stumps, uses them with much dexterity to sup pl) the place of hands. About 60 wear the military modal, and nearly 200 are decorated with the Cross of the Legion of Honour. Among the latter several hav r rec e eived t forhe distinction under the present Emperor as a ward services rendered to the first. Among the older members there are 30 whose services date from the first Republic. Ono of them, a sailor in 1793 on board the Scipion, has been a resident since 1806.
