There is a slightly increased demand for money this morning, but rates are unaltered, at 1i to 11 per cent. The Corn Market is steady at Monday's prices. Consols are firm, at a further improvement of i f, at 93 to 931, for money, and 93i- to 931 for ac count; New and Reduced Three per Cents., 938 to 94 ; India Five per Cents., 112 to 1121 ; Bank Stock, 247 to 249 ; Exchequer Bill, 225. to 265. prem. Foreign Stocks are again much firmer. As com pared with yesterday's unofficial prices there is an advance of in Italian, at 434 to 432 ; of lin Peru vian, at 772 to 78 ; in Egyptian (1864), at 90 to 91 ; in Brazilian (1865), at 771 to 781 ; and in Turkish (1865), at 321 to 32i ; 4in Mexican, at 16k to 16i ; and off in New Spanish, at 364 to 374 ; Greek Bonds are 131 to 134 ; Venezuelan (1864), 19} to 201 ; and Chilian, 87f to 881. The New Honduras Loan has risen to , 14 prem. ex coupon. In American Securities United States 5-20 Bonds are steady, at 71i to 72i ; Erie Railroad, f lower, at 481 to 49 ; Illinois, 86 to 87. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain at 251 to 261, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds have risen Et, to 251 2G. In Railways there is an advance of s in London and North Western, at 1181 to 1191 ; of t in Midland, at 1061 to 107 ; of 1 in South Eastern, at 69i to 70 ; of lin Brighton, at 45 to 46f ; and of 1. in Great "Western, at 46 to 461.

The weekly return of the Bank of England con ‘inues to show an accumulation of resources with diminishing means for their employment. Thus, while the securities have fallen off by nearly £400,000, Including both descriptions, the bullion and reserve have enlarged by a total of £631,784 ; the Bank, therefore, has employed less money in its business by a million sterling than it did last week. As private depositors, chiefly bankers, have reduced their deposits by £120,230, it follows that somewhere about £900,000 less money has &been employed in the trade of the country ; while the mercantile com munity, as well as the Bank, is under the disadvan taa6e of an excess of six millions unemployed private deposits beyond the amount of private securities. The private securities are now little more than sixteen millions and a half. These conditions represent stagnation. In respect to its liabilities on deposits and bills, the reserve of the Bank exceeds the third part of them by five millions within a fraction ; and as the active circulation, apart from the bills, is £23,474,530, while the bullion is £22,319,625, the Bank could pay o ff i n go ld t h e whole of i ts notes within £1,154,905. The following are the principal changes since the preceding return : Decrease in circulation £455,780 Increase in Public Deposits Decrease in other Deposits Decrease in Government Securities 200,800 Decrease in other Securities . 194,628 Increase in Bullion Increase in Rest Increase iii Reserve Bullion in both'Departments Reserve of Notes and Coin 13,845,095 Circulation, including Bank Post Bills 24,082, 263 The following is the return of paid clearing for the week ending Wednesday, Jan. 29, as certified by Mr. J. C. Focock, deputy inspector:-- Jan. 23, Thursday X8,661,000 Jan. 24, Friday ......... Jan. 25, Saturday 9,857,000 Jan. 27, Monday 7,505,000 Jan. 28; Tuesday 8,764,000 Jan. 29, Wednesday 7,788,000 Total £51,164,000 This is a low aggregate. It is the lowest of the year so far, but it corresponds exactly to the comparative stagnation shown by the Bank returns. There have been no settlements on the Stock Exchange. ,to disturb the amounts created by trade. It is, however, satisfactory to observe that on the last occasion when the clearing was unattended by those conditions, the total was about .446,000,000. This week it is £51,000,000. Some slight improvement has consequently taken place in the interval. The return fur the ensuing week will probably show a con siderably enlarged clearing as there will have occurred a heavy Stock Exchange settlement, and the liquida tion of the bills maturing in the domestic trade on the 4th, next Tuesday, two incidents which, to some extent, may also affect the next Bank return. The sum of £71,000 in bar gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for export.

The report of the Isle of Man Banking Company for the past half-year recommends a dividend at the rate of six per cent. per annum. The extraordinary general meeting of the East India Irrigation and Canal Company has been adjourned to the 15th February. The following is the report of the London and South Western Bank :—The accounts show a gross profit for the half-year (including £365 7s 7d brought for ward from last account) of £19,691 lOs 9d, and after deducting the usual charges for expenses at head °ffice and branches, interest to customers, &c., there remains a disposable balance of £6,371 lls 4d. The directors recommend that a dividend at the rate of five per cent. per annum (free of income tax) be Paid to the shareholders, and that the balance of £ 1 ,371 lls 4d, which includes £520 19s for rebate On bills not yet due, be carried to profit and loss new account.

DEATH OF VISCOUNT DE MOIRA.—The Journal of St. Petersburg, of the 24th inst., announces the sudden death of the Viscount de Moira, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of Portugal at the Court of St. Petersburg, on the 22d inst. Viscount de Moira was many years Secretary of the Portuguese Em bassy at the Court of St. James's. His talent and bearing had gained for him in this country and in Russia a large number of friends, who will deeply regret his loss. - - - CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. —The beneficial effect of the Con. tagious Diseases Act, 1860, among the military has resulted in the formation of an association for its extension to the civil population. A meeting of the committee took place on Wednesday last at the house of W. T. Milford, Esq., M.P., 12, Cavendish-square, W. Present —Mr. Skey, F.R.S., Major General Downing, Sir 11. Thompson, Dr. Tilbury Fox, Mr. Ernest Hart, Dr. Vintras, Dr. Inglis, &'. ' The secretary announced that steps had already been taken to form branch associa tions in many parts of England and Ireland--Bath, O x . ford, Brighton, Dublin, Belfast, Colic, Cheltenham, Clifton, Kidderminster, Exeter, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Read ing, St. Leonard's, &c. Sir John Pakington had written to approve of the association, and to express his opinion that it would do very much good. The sub•committee appointed to draw up the "laws " of the association sub mitted their report. The subscription is fixed at half a guinea a year. The secretaries were instructed to draw up a report especially as to the objects of the association and the information received from time to time in reference to the prevalence of enthetic disease in different parts of England and the present working of the Contagious Diseases Act in the navy and the army, and this will be made public as soon as possible. THE FEVER IN ESSEX. —A well-informed correspondent writes to us concerning the fever at Terling :—" Up to the present time there have been about 240 cases, with 22 deaths ; while there are many cases wanting but little to turn the quivering balance between life and death. Lord Rayleigh has willingly offered to provide a convalescent home for children, and it is already in progress ; and when in work it will help to diminish very materially the existing overcrowding, until more effectual means are brought about. Real working nurses are sadly wanted here. The first case of the real outbreak occurred, not at Terling-place, but at what is called `The Dairy Farm,' in the immediate vicinity. This case was quickly followed by scattered ones through out the parish, which, at the time of the last census, had a proportion of 902. Nor was it possible, so far as I could ascertain, to trace the first scattered cases to the source of infection whence others have tried to trace them, viz., the Dairy Farm. The first fatal case was that of a woman, who, from accounts gleaned from ber husband, had h no communication with the tainted spot;' but her illness (and the case was one of the earliest) commenced after a long and exhausting walk upon a soaking wet day. And this state of things may, I think, be readily explained by the frost, thaw, and subsequent percolation of water from the surface through ground charged in many places with the excreta of typhoid fever patients; true, these excreta had been more or less treated with chloride of lime, but privies open to the air above, and bounded below by no barrier save a gravelly soil, are treacherous reeeptaClea fOt such matter."—Britis4 NediM ll 9Prna4 PREFERENC Great Northern, 5 per cent., !E SaARES. 11l FOREIGN RAILWAY:.

The chronometer, which is of beautiful workmanship, and an excellent specimen of its branch of art, has been manufactured by Mr. Jones, 338, Strand. THE PHYSICIAN'S CANE AND COAT.--The gold headed cane, formerly carried by physicians, was long believed to contain some safeguard against infection. There is a collection of such canes in the College of physicians. One of the last physicians who bore the gold-headed cane was Dr. Baillie. The last man in London who is believed to have worn the scarlet coat, flap waistcoat, and frilled sleeves, was a quack doctor, who lived in the corner of Salisbury-square, and who might be seen any day pacing the pavement in front of ' is establishment until ho took to his bed and died vi atom() Ql4 age.—Leisurf Dour.

(From Le Fond.) At this season of the year our subscribers will naturally prefer the pages of a journal devoted to the description of fashion to be chiefly occupied with evening -dress. We must, however, just mention, in passing, one or two little facts of general interest. We find that the small indoor vestes before men tioned are very much worn, either with or without sleeves, and generally made with wide revers. Also small corslets, with or without epaulets, are frequently worn with the Cashmere chemise russe. Gold and silver and fur are still the trimmings most in vogue. Fur figures not only in day, but also in evening dress ; ermine, white fox, grebe, and swandown being all used for this purpose. Nor must we omit speaking of lace, which is ever a favourite trimming, especially on satin. What can be prettier than a lace tunic gracefully arranged over a skirt of satin ? To de scribe all the idnuense variety of elegant materials now in vogue would be an impossibility, but we would just call our subscribers' attention to the beautiful fringes for trimming tulle or tarlatan worked with gold or silver. They are made of marabouts or swandown, tipped with gold and silver ; also the flounces of Spanish blond worked with satin flowers for plain tulle dresses. This blond placed over bouillons of tulle has a charming effect; it is also formed into tunics. Black blond of the same make is sometimes worn over black or coloured satin. The first dress we describe is both novel and stylish. A ball dress composed of a skirt of white tulle, with a thick chicoree, and bouillonnes of tulle. A wide bias of black velvet is placed at the bottom of the skirt and up the sides, but not across the front, the front breadth being covered with black lace forming a round tahlier. Corsage and tunic.of white satin, the tunic being held back, as it were, by the black velvet, and also caught up at the sides by bouquets of black velvet and tea roses, with brown foliage and long trails of leaves, in a style recalling the paniers in the time of Marie Antoinette. A toilet de bal of blue satin, covered with five skirts of blue tulle, each skirt trimmed with gold and steel fringe, and a cord. Low body, crossed and trimmed to match. Dress of Chambery gauze spotted with black flowers. Wide black velvet sash, the ends fringed with gold. Upon the shoulders hanging bows of black velvet fastened with a gold ornament. A robe of green poult de soie. Low body, Marie Antoinette fashion, trimmed with white lace and steel cord. The skirt is trimmed with lace, carried a little distance up each scam. Toilet of blue velvet with white satin trimming, the upper skirt being traced round with white satin rouleautes and rosettes of the same placed half way down the front. Low body, round berthe trimmed to match. Evening dress for a young lady. Three skirts of pink crape set on in very small plaits, the border of each skirt cut in small scallop s answer i ng to the satin round the waist, and widths cf the plaits. Body formed of three plaited tbhaen fastened dtosp.A together the s uppe racrf o one ha f pl bein gfink in small scall o p s roun d way ,down the side of the skirt by a pink daisy, a smaller one being at the waist at the other side. A dress of white poult de soie, over which is a skirt, very light and aerial, formed . of bouillons of tulle and flounces of silver blond, with a fringe of light blue feathers. Low body, trimmed to match. A robe of white gauze, open in front, and form ing a long train, embroidered in an elegant wreath of large daisies. Underskirt of white satin,trimmed en tablier, with bouquets of daisies. The body very low, fastened on the shoulder by bouquets of the same flowers, which are repeated at the waist. Head-dress to match. A dress of straw-coloured satin, covered with a tunic of Spanish blond. The tunic is nearly as long as the satin skirt at the back, and rained on one side under a bouquet of acacia. leaves. A wreath of the same in the hair. A dress of white terry velvet. Plain skirt ; the body trimmed with lace and rows of fine pearls. Head-dress, rows of pearls. This dress is equally elegant, and even more effective, tritnmf3(l with gold blond and rows of gold or turquoise beads. Of course the head-dress must match. A dress of light blue silk, trimmed en tablier, and all round the train with beautifully formed lace butterflies. Low body, trimmed with lace and fringe of small turquoise beads. Strings of the same beads in the hair, fastened under a large white rose. A dress of black lace over white satin, trimmed with water lilies and coral in bouquets on the skirt, sleeves, and in front of the body. The same orna ments in the hair. Necklace, ear-rings, and brace lets of coral. A dress of emerald green satin, trimmed with silver blond. L ow b o d y, an d l ong hanging sleeves of tulle, spotted w ith silver. A white satin dress, the skirt trimmed with a white bouillonee of tulle, above which is placed a flounce of gold blond. Low body, trimmed to match. A dress of blue terry velvet, trimmed with dentelle Duchesse and white camellias. The skirt trimmed uu tunique with a flounce of the lace, and en tablier with rosettes of lace and camellias. Head-dress, barbel of lace and camellias at the side. A white silk dress, the skirt made with a long train and trimmed with rouleaux of satin, so ar ranged as to resemble wreaths of coral round the skirt, up the front, and half way up the back and sides. The low body, which has deep basques edged with a wide fold of the same, is trimmed to match the skirt.

The bonnets have undergone little or no change in form since last month, but our skilful modistes are continually finding fresh methods of arranging these tiny coiffures, so as to make them more com fortable, as well as more becoming. For evening coiffure gold and steel are much worn. Ornaments of the same, placed on velvet bands, are also much used ; or strings of garnets, with hanging ornaments of the same. Also beads of crystal or gold, twisted in the hair, form a very pretty and becoming head-dress. A long wreath of heath, with metallic leaves, twisted several times round the head, and fastened under a flower or ornament of gold and steel, is a new and elegant coiffure.

A fine-looking fellow, named Edwards, a sergeant of the H Battery of the Horse Artillery, stationed at Waterford, became en amoured of a pretty housemaid. Matters went on smoothly till Monday night, when a vindictive and rather tyrannical coachman thought fit to interfere. The knight of the whip fancied that he had a right to monopolise the attentions of the girl, and, per ceiving that Phillis favoured the son of Mars and contemned his own advances, he sought to " thrash" her into matrimony, and with this view seriously assaulted her. The girl had to leave the house, the master and mistress being absent, and left word that if Edwards called he was to remain until her return. The coachman heard. this, and when a knock came to the door, he opened it, and bade the soldier " begone." The gallant son of Mars did not resent the manner of his rival, but holding out his hand, said, " Let us be friends." The answer was a string of • vituperative abuse, which was brought to a termination by his receiving a blow on the mouth. Coachee slunk away to the lower regions of the kitchen, and the artillery man departed, intimating his intention of re turning when he thought Catherine would be at home. He did so ; but in the meantime the girl had entered the house, and was furiously set upon by the coachman. The ruffian cried out, " I am in the house with you ; I have loved yon madly, and in spite of -- itself that fellow will not possess you. I would rather :see you dead than his." He then seizing a knife, swore he would cut her throat. The girl took refuge in the pantry, and her cries maddened the soldier outside. He climbed over the wall at the rear of the premises, and thun dered loudly at the back door. The coachman, who heard the noise, seized a pitchfork and placing himself en charge, awaited the entrance of his enemy. Finding that the soldier could not force the back dJor, he went out by the hall door, with the intention of taking him in the rear. Scarcely had he gone out, however, when the woman admitted, the artilleryman, and secured both doors. The lovers now remained together till half-past eleven o'clock, when the gallant soldier departed ; but his troubles were not yet over. As he was passing John's Bridge, the coachman and three other fellows rushed upon him, with loud cries of " Throw him over the bridge." Edwards defended himself gallantly with his belt, but when that was broken he was completely at the mercy of his foes. They grappled with him, and were in the act of tilting him over the battle ments of the bridge when the tramp of the police patrol was heard in the distance, and the ruffians, releasing their h o ld on their victim, decamped. 'e artilleryman was conveyed in a state of nex haustion to batracks, and, according to the strict rules of discipline, sentenced to 15 days' confine ment.—Saunders's Newsletter. NIAGARA WEARING OUT. Since the discovery of Niagara by civilised man, the great cataract has changed little in appearance, and although the waters have been constantly at work wearing away the shelf of the rock, the rate of progress is scarcely perceptible in a lifetime. There are now appearances, however, that indicate a sudden and entire change of the form of the Canadian Falls, liable to occur at any time, and in a manner that would be likely to dimish, if not en tirely divert, the stream at present passing over the precipice on the American side of Goat Island. Within the past two years a peculiar motion of the rapids at a point about 800 yards above the curve in the Falls, over which the greatest body of water descends, has attracted the attention of careful ob servers, and given rise to the belief that the current has made a breach through the soft shale stratum underlying the limestone edge over which the main body descends. This shale stratum is noticed under Table Rock, and in the banks of the river on either side below the Dills, and ascends towards the south at a grade that would reach the bed of the river about 800 yards above the Cana dian Falls. The theory described .has resolved itself into an undoubted fact within a few weeks past. Within that time Dr. J. N. Osborne, at Chippewa, has noted a marked change in the mo tion of the rapids at the point indicated, and it is also reported that indications are discovered of the pouring of a subterranean stream into the gulf bele iv the Falls, which the absence of the mist, it is thought, would reveal beyond a doubt. The ultimate result of this action of the water must be to cause a sudden receding of the Falls at some time to the point where the limestone strata terminate, and a complete change in the appearance of the cataract. A gentleman from the vicinity of the Falls, of whom we obtain these particulars, fully believes that the days of the great " Horsehoe" are numbered.—Hamilton Times.

The nomination take place. The Courrier R usse co of nt Mgr.ainst hesubjoin eat 8 subjoinnd : " The official appointment Innocent, Arch bishop of Kam t h k a, to the dignity of Primate of Moscow, in room of the late venerable Philarete, is announced. The new Archbishop, who was but a 'simple priest 35 years ago, had devoted himself to the holy mission of converting to Christianity the idolatrous population of that Asiatic country, and by his untiring zeal and eloquent language obtained results so important that in a few years there arose a necessity to raise Kamstchatka into a new diocese. The worthy missionary, who was then named Jean Feniaminof, was married and the father of several children. He repaired to Moscow to lay before Mgr. Philarete the requirements of the new see. During his stay in that city be received the news of the unexpected death of his wife, whom he had left in goof health. Having thus become a widower, he was in the condition required for the episcopacy, and Mgr. Philarete did not hesitate to confer on him the dignity to which, in no circum stances, would his modesty have allowed him to pre tend. Mine. Potemkin, who is always ready when there is a work of charity to perform, undertook to bring up the missionary's daughters, educate them and marry them honourably. The simple priest then became a bishop, under the title of Innocent, and returned to Kawstchatka, where he exercised his apostolic zeal for thirty years. For some years past he had become Arbishop, and has now been called to the highest functions in the ecclesiastical hierarchy. A. better choice could not be wade _ I
