The fortnightly settlement in the Stott Exchange commenced this morning, and there is consequently but little ordinary business in progress. In many respects the supply of stock is more equal to the re quirements than for several accounts past. On some of the principal railways, notably Metropolitan, there is neither backwardation nor cantagno. Cale donian form the principal exception. These are still scarce, and 9 per cent. per annum has been paid this morning to defer delivery for a fortnight. It is, however, too early to form a com plete idea of the course of settlement.

From the import markets in the pro vinces the reports speak of a degree of heaviness, with prices a shade less firm. From continental consuming markets the accounts still bring improving prices, and purchases are still continued here on continental account. Nevertheless the floating cargo trade has not been quite so good in tone as last noticed, and although business of fair extent has been concluded the numbers of arrived cargoes of wheat on sale has increased to 87. Of other grain the cargoes on the coast were not numerous. At Mark-lace this morning the market opened with light supplies of English grain of all kinds, fair arrivals of foreign wheat and barley, but a limited quantity of oats. The general , s tone of the market was quiet, without pressure to sell, and rates unchanged. The small supply of English wheat was taken off slowly at Monday's terms. Foreign purchased sparingly, but not offered on lower terms. Grinding barley met a fair demand, and supported :quite late rates. Malting attracts but little notice. Beans remain without change in value, and a slow sale both for landed and floating. Oats firmly held in consequence of the small supply, but not sufficient demand to establish any advances. Flour may be quoted steady, at late rates. Maize inactive, with a good deal offering. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. Meat.—Supplies of dead meat are short, and the late advance for best qualities is fully maintained, whilst mid dling and inferior descriptions are again dearer, Mutton, 4s 2d to 4s Gd ; middling, 3s 10d to 4s; inferior, 3s 8d; beef, best ox, 4s to 4s 2d ; second qualities, 3s 8d to 3s 10d; inferior, 3s 4d to 3s Gd ; veal, 4s to Os 44 ; pork, small, 4s Oa 4v r 2‘l you stone of 81b by the carcass. Poultry.—Supplies are getting very short, and comprise a great proportion of rough. As an exception, the supply of pigeons is very plentiful, consignments arriving from Fiance, Belgium, and other parts of the Continent. Ono house alone (Mr. S. H. Miller) had 5,000 pigeons last evening. Prices consequently are much lower than usual, and range from 6d. to 9d. each. There has been a good arrival of Ptarmigan. Those from Norway are in good condition, those from Russia bad. Prices vary from is to is 6tl each. No tur keys worth naming. Guinea fowls, 3s Gd. Rabbits, wild, is to is 3d ; tame, is 6d to 2s.

The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 15c. per Si sterling. Un e)niparing these rates with the English Mint price of i l'ta. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about one -tenth dearer in Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 109) per cent. At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.—Sit R. Napier writes to tho Secretary o f St a t e f or I ndia that he has b een reluctantly compelled t o a ll ow Dr. Krapf, who was en gaged as Amharic dragoman, to quit the expedition, as he has lost his health in the performance of his duties, and has been recommended by his medical attendant to pro ceed immediately to Europe. Sir R. Napier speaks very warmly of Krapf's services, and says it will be difficult to supply his place. TIIE MEMBERS FOR OLDIIAM ON CO - OPERATION. On Saturday night the members for Oldham, Messrs. .1. T. Hibbert and J. Platt, attended a fleeting at Shaw, on the occasion of the opening of a new central store for the Crompton Co-operative Society. M r . Hibbert said he cordially sympathised with societies of that nature, which were based on the 'principle of self-help. Neither Mr. Platt nor himself cane there with the desire of supporting the co operators in antagonism to the retail sh op k eepers He thought that if the retail traders were to exist satisfactorily and successfully, they must take one or two leaves out of the books of the co-operators. O ne of these leaves was the system of ready money p a y_ meats, to which he believed they would have to come. He thought these societies were a great means of in creasing the provident habits of the people, and he could not believe that there ever was much crime, pauperism, or drunkenness amongst co- o p erators. He was g l a d t o fi n d th a t in all large societies of that kind, not merely was attention paid to the material wants of the members, but a certain amount was set apart for a library and reading-room ; and he regarded this as one of the best features of these insti tutions. These, societies, however, appear,.] to be merely the fir s t step in co-operation. There was another step which they had not yet taken ad vantage of---that of production. Stores seem to have icceeded in England ; societies of credit best in Germany ; and those of production best in France. But there was no doubt we were destined in this country to see working men uniting for mnay other objects than those now in existence (hear). It must, however, a l ways b e b orne i n m i n d t h at if we were to succeed in retaining our prestige as a manu facturing country they would have to avoid as far as possible anything which interfered with the proper relation of capital and labour. With this view we had a duty to perform in the matter of edu cation, and he thought we should be obliged to come to some system in which a little compulsion would be employed, as was the case with the Factory . Acts (hear, h ear ) . —M r. Platt observed that co-opera tion was the rival of the retail dealer, but it was only such a rival as every trade and society in the kingdom met with, and it was a question whether rivalry did not produce the best results, He looked upon these 0940E1 Ali very Maui. vac PREFERENCE SHA.RES, North Eastern, York, H. and Selby purchase, 106 LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

Mr. Angelo is better acquainted with this part of Eastern Africa than any man living. H e i s confident of meeting with a good reception from the chief tains of a tribe which he represents as more humane and more civilised than the majority of the natives of this part of Africa. Ile is to go out as the paid agent of the Go vernment ; but wo understand that it is not yet decided whether or not ho is to be accredited in an official capacity. We can well believe that Sir Stafford Northcote and his colleagues hesitate to incur a risk which may involve the necessity of another expedition like that of Abyssinia. Mr. Angelo, however, is willing to bear the whole respon sibility, as far as his own personal safety is concerned.— Morning Herald. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning a young man, about 18 years of age, a porter in the employ of Messrs.

At the county assizes, this day, the Fenian pri• soner Mackay was put on his trial for the murder o Police-constable Casey. The Attorney-General, in opening the case, con• tended that the shooting of Casey was either acci• dental, or it was wilful murder. Witnesses deposed that Casey was shot by Mackay in the latter's struggle with Constable G-eale. GREAT FIRE Al CLEHKENWELL. This morning, at an early hour, the inhabitants of St. John-street, Clerkenwell, were suddenly aroused from their peaceful sleep by the alarming cry of " Fire," .the flames proceeding from the extensive and well-known premises of Messrs. Farmilow and Son, glass and lead merchants, in the locality. The fire raged owing to the wind that was blowing, and up to nine o'clock this morning the firemen were playing on the ruins. The origin of the ,fire is unknown, and the pro perty being insured in the Sun, Phoenix, Atlas, and other offices, the insurance having been divided in the offices by the proprietors of their respective policies, will fall lightly upon them.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A Boy.---Jane M'Donnell, of No. 3, Tudor-place, Tottenham-court -road, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Thos. Lee, a boy about 9 years of age, by striking him on the head with a poker. The complainant, a rather delicate-looking boy, residing in the same house as the prisoner, said that about 8 o'clock that morning he was knocking at the door of the house, having some bread in his hands, when he received a violent blow on his head, a poker having been been thrown at him, but he did not know by whom. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt the boy said he be lieved the prisoner was quarrelling with her hus band at the time. Police-constahle Eager, M E, said the witness who saw the prisoner throw the poker was not in attendance. The prisoner said that she made an attempt to strike her husband, and the boy, wh) was standing at the door, caught the blow instead of her husband. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked if the boy had had his head attended to, and was told that the boy was taken to the Middlesex Hospital, and had the wound sewed up, and was to attend the hospital again to-mor row. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner for a week, as there was no knowing what might happen to such a tender-looking boy. ROBBERY THROUGH DISTRESS.—John Davis, a half-starved looking young man was charged be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with s t ea li ng five books from the shop of Mr. Hatfi e ld , b oo k se ll er , of Tottenham court-road. The prisoner was seen to take the books by a young man in the employ of Mr. Hatfield, and then make of. He was pursued and the books found in his possession. The prisoner said that he was "hard up," and committed the robbery through his necessities. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed him for seven days with hard labour. THAMES. STEALING WINE IN A. DOCK.—Robert Rose, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with stealing Wine fro m a cask in the St. Katharine Dock. Joseph Andrews, a watchman in the service of the dock comp any, said that he was on t h e wes t quay of the d oc k at 15 minutes past s i x o ' c l oc k yes terday evening, and saw the prisoner among the wines, leaning over one cask and tipping it over. He said to the prisoner, 4g What does this mean ?" to which he made no answer. He noticed that the prisoner's lip 3 Were stained with wine. He took the prisoner into custody, and informed the chief constable what had happened. They went back to the cask, at the foot of which a tube was found. Wine was spilled about the cask on the quay, and there was a hole which had been recently made in the cask from which wine was leaking. The prisoner said he had been seeking employment in the dock, and answered to his name. The prisoner said he had not been drinking at the cask at all, and accounted for being on the west quay by stating that he was going round the west quay to see his foreman, owing to his finger having been smashed with a piece of lead while he was at work in the dock. Mr. Benson said that was an idle excuse. The prisoner had no business whatever to be among the wines on the west quay, and there was no doubt he had been tampering with a cask of wine and plun dering it. Dock companies were continually ex posed to this system of depredation, and must be protected. He sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour.

Bailey, who achieved successes at the athletic sports both here and at Cuckfield last autumn, was backed to run a mile within five minutes. The mile chosen was from the Whalebones , Peaspottage-hill, to Broadfield-fiat, the inclines nearly th © whole of the distance being favourable, but the recent shower, just previous to the start on Saturday evening, caused it to be very dirty, and much in favour of time backers. The distance was accomplish e d, th e ti me b e i ng very accurately kept, in 4 min. 52 sec. A large concourse of people were krecnat.—Surrey Standard. NG, MARCH 11, 1865.; THE ABYSSINIAN EXP.EDI7ION. (From the Times Correspondent.) ATTEGERAT, February 17. The British advanced guard has occupied Antalo. This place is half-way between the sea-coas t and Theodore's fortress of Magdala, where now all the prisoners are confined. The head chief of Antah has expressed friendly feelings towards us, and has promised to obtain some supplies for our troops. The supplies which have as yet been obtained from the country are, however, so meagre that no reliance can be placed upon them. The country has been devastated by civil war, and is so poverty stricken that, though the inhabitants readily sell us all they can spare, nothing worth speak ing of in the way of supplies can be obtained from the country. On the ships in Annesley bay the army has hitherto had to depend for its resources, and it appears certain that this will eon- tinue so until the termination of the campaign. Hence our progress has been slow, for the transport train has not yet had time to recover from its mis fortunes at the commencement of the operations, and on it depends the carriage of all supplies from the sea -coast to the front. Energetic measures have been taken by Sir Robert Napier to secure from Arabia and Egypt animals which may fill the vacancies in its ranks caused in the first place much more by the want of a proper system of organisation than by the epidemic of Zoulla. But these animals can arrive only slowly, and it is feared that a considerable halt may be necessary at Antalo to allow provisions to be brought up to that station. Senafe is the first post in the highlands which is to be held as a main link of the chain of communi cations. Attegrath, 37 miles further to the south, is the second. It is an important point, as here the roads to Adowa and Antalo branch of. A small intrenched camp is being formed here for the per manent security of the post. At Dongollo, half way between Attegrath and Antalo, another small post will be formed, and at Antalo a fourth. These will keep open the road between the army and the sea, and will act as places of refuge for the convoys coming up from the base of operations with supplies for the troops in the front. Antalo is eight marches south of Attegrath. The distance between the two places is variously esti mated at from 76 to 96 miles. Probably as soon as the road is surveyed the truth will be found to be between the two. Although we have no maps on which absolute reliance can be placed, the map prepared in the Topographical Department of the War-office is an excellent guide, and of surprising accuracy, considering how little was known of the geography of Abyssinia before this expedition was undertaken. After the expedition this will be a well-known land, and, as a party of engineers are making an accurate trigonometrical survey while following the march of the army, its topography will be almost as certain as that of the midland counties. The Commander-in-Chief will leave Attegrath on the 18th for Antalo. On the 20th he is to have an interview with Kassa, Prince of Tigre, at Ad- Abaga, two marches south of this place. The Prince, according to national custom, could not leave his capital for 40 days after his installation on the throne of Tigre. This ceremony took place at the beginning of February, and properly Kassa ought to stay as strictly for 40 days in the vicinity of Adowa, his capital, as a bridegroom would be expected during a honeymoon to cultivate the society of his bride. An exception, however, has been made in favour of the English General, and the Prince is to be waiting on his line of march to pay his respects to him on the 20th. In Abyssinia the elephants are considered very wild an untame able by the natives, who positively refused to be lieve that it was possible to reduce them to a state of subordination to man. In order to impress Prince Kassa two of the elephants which have been brought for the carriage of guns have been brought on to Attegrath for the use of the Commander-in-Chief and his Staff at the meeting. Their passage through the country has been fol lowed by crowds of wondering and awestruck Abys sinians, who formerly thought that any one who told them an elephant could be tamed was dealing in the most flowery romance. A sensation, second only to that caused by the elephants, was created by the arrival yesterday of Murray's battery of 12-pounder Armstrong guns. It was almost doubtful whether it would be pos sible to get the guns over the very difficult road across the mountains between Senafe and this place. The gunners, however, achieved their task, though not without incurring considerable difficulties, and marched into Attegrath looking as smart and well as if they were on Woolwich Common. As soon as the guns appeared on the brow of the gentle slope over which the road falls into the valley of Attegrath, nearly the whole camp turned out to greet them, and to congratulate the artillery on their success in bringing them safely through all the dangers of the mountain road. The Abyssi nians, of whom there is always a large crowd in the neighbourhood of the camp, rushed across to meet them, and to see what strange things we had so much trouble in drawing with many horses over an almost impassable country. There is no news from the prisoners in Magdala since their last letter of the 17th of January. Many reports are brought to us through the country people, but, of course, none are reliable. The na tives appear, as a general rule, to think that Theo dore will either stand an assault in Magdala or will come out and fight in front of his fortress. I 4 is certainly taking immense trouble in getting his heavy guns into the place, and is said to be strength ening its naturally strong defences. It seems pro bable that he may either fight in Magdala or, per haps, attempt to fall upon the advancing British force north of that place with one of his favourite night attacks. He has in Magdala considerable treasure, and in a few days will have placed there all his cannon. With them he could not retreat rapidly enough to avoid pursuit and to elude cap ture. Without them his prestige would be gone, and his means of subduing rebellious chieftains de parted. He may give up the prisoners, he may run away with them, sacrificing Magdala and his stores there. It is almost impossible to calculate what course he will adopt, but the popular opinion of the country appears to be that be will fight, and it seems it is his interest to do so. The road beyond Antalo will be through the pro vince of Lasta. This is the most difficult and mountainous of the provinces of Abyssinia, and we must expect a rough road and a slow advance. Two routes lead from Antalo in the direction of iNlagdala. Neither are well known. The more direct or eastern route leads past Lake Ashangi, in the neighbourhood of which it passes through some very broken, hilly country. The western route leads by Socota. It is said to be easier than the other as far as that place, but beyond is hardly known at all, further than that the country over which it must pass is the very backbone of the Abyssinian highlands. As this route also causes a detour it is probable that by Lake Asbangi will be selected. Whichever is chosen there is one thing certain, that till the trans port train receives strong reinforcements in animals to make up for those which have died or been lost the advance of the troops cannot be very rapid. It is perfectly wonderful that under the cramped con ditions under which it is suffering the advanced portion of the force has been able to move as fast as it has. On the transport everything must depend in a country where every article of supply worth mention has to be brought from the shipping over a distance of 200 miles as it is to Antalo, or of 400 as it will be to Magdala. Every exertion is made to reduce the baggage of the troops to the lightest possible figure. The cli mate, however, prevents such a reduction as could be made in an European climate in a summer campaign. Here the thermometer often stands at freezing point in the night, and sometimes even lower. Warm clothing is absolutely necessary for the troops and followers, and blankets for covering at night cannot be dispensed with. The hosts of native followers who accompanied the troops from Cudia were much diminished before the advance from Zoulla, and have been further reduced at every subsequent post, as the climate proved them to be much more an encumbrance than a necessity. Yet the native cavalry still require large numbers of grass-cutters and sycees, whom English dragoons in this climate would not consider at all necessary. Yet the native trooper is more difficult to feed than the British dragoon, as the meat of the latter in the form of bullock walks in rear of the column and re quires no carriage.

We cannot understand why certain of the daily press should insist that there is absolute evil in row ing for money. Why should not the skilful and proficient athlete turn his physical gifts to advantage as well as the man of mental culture, who writes a novel for £2,000 or paints a picture for dcuble that sum ? However, wo h a v e thus far done with this vexatious case, and recognise the jury's decision as a consistent, logical, and manly vindica tion of fair play. If Kelley and Sadler's parties are still confident in their view, let them, as suggested by Lord Chief-Justice Cockburn, try the issue once more with a achieve e te v n i t fctroeryer.ienet,heanondlyewacahy itw c it a h n bao wdeotnerwmiitnbatbioonnourto —perfect fairness, and a willingness to acknowledge defeat from a better man. FALMOUTH . , March 9.--:-There is at present in this port a larger fleet of shipping from all parts of the world than for some time past, and it would seem to mark unmistakably a revival of trtde. On Sunday there ar rived about 20 sail, making a total of just 193, of which number 110 are awaiting orders, and the residue a favour able wind, to proceed to their destinations. Owing to the more favourable state of the corn market, the detentions of grain -laden vessels for orders have been very short with the lately arrived fleet. The weather has been very bois terous in this quarter for some days, blowing a gale from N.W. and W.N.W., and among the steamers and other shipping taking refuge in the weskrn bay was her Ma jesty's sto res hip F ox , Staff-Commander Moriarty, C.i3 ~ which proceeded to the westward on Monday morning on the yesther moderating. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tms DAT. The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL. Mr. HARDCASTLE postponed the second reading of this bill until the Bth of April. CHURCH RATES REGULATION BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, which is brought forward by Mr. HUBBARD, the object of which is plainly set forth in the title, Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE suggested that the bill should be postponed until the Bth April, in order that the house might be enabled to go into committee on the bill brought forward by Mr. Gladstone. The hon. mover of the second reading felt indisposed at first to agree to the suggestion, but, on the urgent appeal of Mr. Walpole, he eventually consented to postpone proceeding with the bill until the day mentioned. CHURCH RATES COMMUTATION BILL. Mr. NEWDEGATE also postponed the second reading of this bill. COMPULSORY CHURCH.. RATES ABOLITION BILL. The house then went into committee upon this bill, which was brought forward by Mr. GLADSTONE. On clause 1 being read, Mr. HENLEY moved its omission.
