The y incident MONEY MARKET AND OtatEROIAL N TELLXG&NCtI CITY', Two O'CLOCK. In the English Funds the only point of interest is the commencement of the,Consol account. There is a •better supply of stock than at the last settlement, the higher price current offering inducements to rea lise. There is less activityin Foreign Government secu rities, speculators fora rise being disposed to take the present profit. The upward tendency of the market is, however, apparently unctecked. In railways, Metropolitan shares continue to fluctuate with every transaction. At this hour they are 14 per cent, below the closing price of Saturday.

The Bangalore has arrived with X 4,307 in specie from Alexandria, and the Maria Pia with £21,000 from Portugal. After the ordinary general meeting► of the Mid- Wales Railway Company on the 18th instant, the meeting will be made special. for the purpose of con sidering and assenting to a scheme of arrangement between the company and their creditors. Messrs. Chadwick, Robb, and Macuabb, the com mittee for managing the estate of the Bank of London in liquidation, have issued the following report, dated the 31st ult. : "In our report, dated 29th May, 1867, we announced the various steps which bad then been taken, and that we Were prepared to offer payment to the entire body of creditors on the following terms :--1. The immediate payment in cash of the balance of their claims, With interest from the date of the stoppage at the rate of 2i per cent. per annum ; or, 2. Payment thereof with interest at £5 per cent. per annum from the date of the stoppage, by three equal instalments at six, twelve, and eighteen months. The sanction of the Court of Chancery was applied for, and an order duly obtained on the 9th July to give effect to this arrangement, Whereby the formal proceedings were stayed, and the management of the estate was entrusted to us to con lan, as if the bank were in voluntary liquidation. The second proposition was accepted by twenty-two of the largest creditors, the aggregate of whose claims for balance of 5s 6d in the pound remaining unpaid was 4 211,718, exclusive of interest. To the rest of the creditors Immediate cash payments were tendered, and with few excep tions (chiefly residents abroad or persons of unknown ad dress) all such credit Ors have been paid in full. The first Payment to the holders of promissory notes became due on the 34 inst., and was punctually met. At present it is quite impracticable to form an accurate estimate of future realisations, as so much depends on other concerns iaovr in liquidation ; but from the mode in which claims nave hitherto been met, and from the insight which close attention has given us into the character of the remaining assets, we look forward with hone that we shall be able to Meet the•second and third instalments due in July, 1868, and January, 1869." The report of the Electric and International Tele graph Company states that the net profits on the business of the past half-year amount to £76,730 lOs Bd. After payment of the usual dividend of 5 per cent., and distributing £5,000 to the officers of the company by way of bonus, there will remain a balance of £21,613 to be carried to the trust fuud. The di rectors regret that they have no definite information to communicate with regard to the purchase of the telegraphs by the Government. A dividend of £5 per share has been declared by the directors of the Birmingham and Midland Bank, uayable on the 14th inst. A. committee, consisting of seven members of the Stock Exchange, has been appointed to consider the effect of the decision in the case of Grissell v. Bris towe,_ and to take steps to obtain a j u d gmen t f rom the House of Lords upon the main points at issue. The Dundee Advertiser states that " a more hope ful feeling has arisen in all branches of the flax trade, and a greater inclination for business has been mani fested. The opinion of many now is that the de pression which has so long existed- will gradually disappear, although no great activity can be looked for for several months. Messrs. Rucker, Oppor, and Company's freight cir cular states that the chartering business of the first Month of the new year indicates an improvement in the dethand for tonnage, the inquiry being active, aud, in many directions, higher freights have been The halfyearly genera l mee ti ng o f t h e G eneral Steam Navigation Company has been convened for the 25th inst., for the transaction of the ordinary business of the company, and to declare a dividend. The committee appointed at the meetino. of the shar e h o ld ers o f the Caledonian Railway, held on Wed nesday last, have had a conference with the directors, St which it was resolved (subject to confirmation by a general meeting) that six out of the fourteen gen tlemen who constitute the direction should retire to hake room for what may be termed " fresh blood."

Account THE GREAT WESTERN ItAILIVAT.—A new sta tion, in connection with the Great Western Railway, was opened at Acton on Saturday. The new station is about four miles distant from Paddington, and within 10 minutes walk. from St. Mary's Church. THE BEERSHOP AcT.—A deputation from the Church of England and Ireland Temperance Reformation Society had an interview with Mr. Hardy at the Home Office on Saturday -to present a memorial, asking for a r , peal of 'the Beershop Act of 1830. Mr. Hardy said he thought some further check upon the sale of intoxicating liquors was necessary, but he could hold out no hope of immediate legislation on the subject, for such a roLasure was not one that could be taken up by an expiring Parlia ment. Mr. A. S. Finlay, M.P. for Argyllshire, has issued an address announcing his intention of resigning his seat. The Scotsman states that the Marquis of Lorne will be the Liberal candidate. THE PORT OF LYNN.—It appears from a return of the local Pilot bomMissioners that in 1867 moorage dues were paid at - the'port of Lynn for 100,436 tons of coal and 86,671 tons of goods. Iu 1866 the corresponding totals were 108,970 tons of coal and 90,51.5 tone of goods. The trade of this port would thus appear to have somewhat de clined in 1867. It is expected that dock works now in progress will be brought to a close by the autumn, when they will probably be inaugurated by the Prince of Wales, his Royal Highness having expressed his intention to at tend the opening ceremonial if possible.

GOOCH, M.P., ON-THE CONSERVATIVES. -- Sir Daniel Gooch, M.P., met his constituents at tt dinner at . Swindon, last week. In returning thanks for his health having been drunk, he said he did not like to attach the name of Liberals to any body of men ; the Conservative party were Liberal, and be always believed himself as Liberal as any man. He never wished, and no one of them would wish, to see this country revolutionized by wild measures ; nor did he wish to see this country stand still, as an old Tory might call it ; he doubted even if an old Tory would wish to stand still now. No one would think of saying that Conservative principles meant that this country should Stand still, nor that measures should not be passed to meet the demands and increasing wants of an intelligent people. These measures had been carried during the last session, and he was one of those who had no fear of that step. Few men had had wore opportunities than himself of mixing with and acquiring a know ledge of the working classes of this country. He had met them socially, . and had had opportunities of seeing them in their working hours and out of them, and, indeed, had spent his lite amongst them, and he said emphatically he had no fear of those working classes. And if they were left to judge for them selves, and let their own minds be their guide, he was quite sure the measures of which he had spoken were quite safe in their hands. There was not (he added) a more conservative or constitutional body of people than the working Classes of Swindon. THE LATE VIOLENT GALE. —The " Manchester Guardian. of to-day says • : —The gale_ on Saturday was severely felt in Manchester and Salford. Many houses were partially unroofed, chimneys were blown down, and signboards fell,' some breaking street lamps, and others "causin g injury to passen gers . N o serious casualty, however, has been reported. itunicara were current of one or two fatal accidents, but we h a v e been unable •to trace them to any reliable source. There were several narrow escapes. One of the pin nacles of Cavendish-street Independent Chapel was displaced, and a mass of stone weighing several hundredweight, fell into the street, almost striking a youth who was passing. The spire of Salford Presbyterian Church was much shaken. The chim ney of an unoccupied house in Whitecross-street, Salford, fell, and a man was struck by some bricks upon the head, and injured severely. He was taken to the dispensary. The house called Cherry lqouut, Higher Broughton, occupied by Mr. Jackson, was so much damaged that the family were compelled to leave it. . No person, however, was hurt. Consider able damage was done by the fiance of two chimneys at the Stag Brewery, Rusholme. In many parts of the town walls and garden palings were blown down. The'river was very high, and the meadows near Peel Park were flooded, but the water fell rapidly towards evening." The Yorkshire Post says : " On Friday and Saturday the wind blew a hurricane, throwing down houses, factory and other chimneys, and tearing off portions of roofs. The rain also fell in torrents. Yorkshire has suffered very severely. In the Leeds district the worst accident was the loss of a child, who was blown off a bridge at Ariuley and drowned. At Bradford five new houses were undermined by the flood, and fell ; and the chimney of the Providence Mill was blown down, killing a man on the spot, and injuring two other persons. At Hull a singular acci dent happened in the blowing down of a huge gas ometer, and the ignition of the gss. This, however, was not attended by . any personal injuries. In the valleys of the Nidd and the Dearne the floods were particularly heavy, and the destruction of property very great. At Scarborough a fatal accident occurred, a stack of chimneys falling through the roof of a house that was being built, by which one workman was killed and several others injured.

The Court of Queen's Bench was densely crowded this morning long before the usual hour for the commence ment of business. The action brought by the Countess d'Alteyrac against Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, Hereditary Great Chamberlain of England, was a part-heard case from Saturday. It was for the wrongful conversinn of certain household furniture, plate, china, &c., which the countess claimed as her own. The parties had lived together as man and wife for a number of years, and for some time np till the end of 1864 they had resided at Caen Lodge, ' - wickenham, close to Richmond Bridge, but from that time they had ceased the cohabita tion, the defendant separating from the countess, and they had never met since. The defendant had sold all the fur niture in Caen Lodge, the greater portion of which the countess claimed as hers, and for the value of which the present action was brought. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Philbriek appeared for tne plaintiff ; Mr. -Hawkins, Q.C. ; and Mr. J. 0. Griffits were for the defendant. The Lord Chief Justice having taken .us seat, Mr. Coleridge, after conferring with Mr. Hawkins, handed to his lordihip the terms for a reference which had been come to between the parties litigant. Both Darned counsel concurred in wishing the Chief Justice to name a gentle man to whom the dispute might be referred.; and although his lordship would have preferred that they had them. selves agreed upon some one, he consented ,to care 7 out their suggeStion. Mr.. Hawkins : Before tnis case closes I wish to say a word on behalf of Lord Willoughby d'Eresby. My friend's case has been opened to the jury, and the plaintiff has been examined. Now, I nee hardly say that Lord Wil loughby would not have defended this case if he had not taken a different view of it to that which has been pre sented by the plaintiff. his lordship has never been un willing to. make an allowance to the countess sufficient for her future maintenance, b r ut the terms have been so large which the countess and her friends asked, that it was impossible for the noble defendant to accede to them. The Case, however, is now terminated, Lord Willoughby having done that which from the first it appeared to me he should 'have done, viz., to refer it to some gentleman of honour, to say what, as a matter of honour and regardless of the law, should be done between the parties. Lord Willoughby's case has not been pre sented to the jury. I have abstained from saying one syllable disrespectful of the lady, and I have only endea voured to conduct the case in accordance with my in structions. The Lord Chief Justice: The termination is satisfactory. I can only wish it bad been done sooner. Mr. Coleridge : On behalf of the plaintiff I am glad to find that Lord Willoughby has at last acceded to the view of his counsel, which he ought to have done long and long ago. On the part of the plaintiff I respectfully tender my thanks for the manner in which your lordship bas ex pressed your opinion upon this case. Mr. Hawkins : I have also to thank four lordship on behalf of Lord Willoughby, and on my own behalf I am extremely grateful to your lordship for having expressed your view of the case. The suggestion thrown out by your lordship on Saturday has brought about this settlement. The Lord Chief Justice : I am very glad if I have been in any way instrumental in bringing about what I am satisfied is the right result, and will prove a satisfactory termination of the case. The parties then withdrew, having first signed the terms of reference. THE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE. —The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council commenced their sittings this day, under the presidency of Lord Justice Cairns. There were also present Sir James Colville, Sir E. V. Williams, and Sir R. Kindersley. Lora Westbury, it is said, will pre side during part of the present sitting. BMWS PATENT.-Iu the Court of Common Pleas, be' fore Mr. Justice Byles and a special jury, the case o f Bovill v. Goodier was called on. It was an issue directed by the Master of the Rolls to try the validity of the plain tiffs patent for an improved mode of grinding flour. The patent was granted in 1849, and on its expiration in 1863 it was regranted for a period of five years. The matter has been litigated at enormous expense for many years, and it is believed the +he present trial will not finish within the week. SIJARE LlST.—This Day. -~ ORDINARY SHAKES AND STOCKS.

DESTPXCTION OF PROPERTY AT CREMORNE.- -At the Westminster Police-court, a man, named Sturge, was sen tenced to pay a fine of 2,05., or in default fourteen days' imprisonment, for wilfully damaging and carrying away part of the fence of Ashburnham House, adjoining Cremorne Gardens. The proprietor of the house and grounds having continually lost part of hiS fence and found other portions of it dammed, at last employed watchmen and' policemen to look after the premises. One of the constables suc ceeded in detecting the prisoner in the very net of tearing up and carrying away Wood. The prisoner, besides the penalty, was ordered to pay the amount of the damage, Bj. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE S SISTER. —At the Clerkenwell Police-court, a woman applied to the magis trate for a summons against the father of her four children, to compel him to contribute towards their maintenance. She stated that some years ago she had been induced to marry her deceased sisters husband, by whom she had had four children. Her huklJand, however, illused her, and on application to the magistrate she was advised to go to the guardians Of the parish, when she would be taken into the house, - and the guardians would sue her husband for the cost of maiatenance. She followed the advice, and stopped in the house for three weeks, when the guardians wrote to her husband, who re plied that she was not legally his wife, and he declined to pay. She was then told to apply to the magistrate and state the circumstances, and ask for four summonses for the children, they being by law illegitimate. Mr. Cooke said that if no better mode of redress could be thought of he would grant the summonses. DARING HIGHWAY ROBERT IN THE MINORIES.—TWO young men, named Houghton and M`Cann, were charged at the Mansion House, before the Lord Mayor, with being concerned in a robbery on Alfred Cotham, a pawn broker's assistant in the Minories. The prosecutor was passing through the Minories on his way home on Saturday night at twenty minutes to twelve, when a man came out of Hanover-court and made a snatch at his watch, taking away part of the chain. At this moment Houghton came out of the same court, and, taking hold of him by the collar, askei him what he had lost. The other man thus got away, but Houghton was taken into custody for being concerned in the robbery. M`Cann was apprehended outside of the police station, and identified as the person who actually committed the theft. —Sergeant Moss said there had been three robberies within the week at the same place, conducted in precisely the same way.—The Lord Mayor remanded the prisoners, and it was stated that in all likelihood some of their companions would be captured in the meantime. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT BY AN OLD SERVANT. — William Fogwill, a respectable-looking man, was brought up at Southwark for final examination, charged with em bezzling various sums of money received on account of his employers, Messrs. Silver and Co., Gun and Shot Wharf, Tooley-street. It appeared that the prisoner had been the employ of the prosecutors nearly twenty-one years. He had been clerk and cashier at the Gun and Shot Wharf, and it was his duty to receive money, enter ;it in a cash-book, and, after deducting petty cash paid by him, to account for the same to witness or the sup 3 rintendent. For so sae time past several accounts appeared to be outstanding which ought to have been paid, and on making inquiries it was found that they had been paid. The prisoner was questioned about them, and he admitted receiving th e money from a number of customers and converting it to his own use. Mr. Silver consequently called a constable and gavejhim into custody.—He was committed for trial. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—The sixth of a series of reports upon certain railway accidents that occurred during the months of September, October, and November of last year has recently been published. The series con tains particulars of ten accidents; two of which occurred on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, two on the Waterford and Kilkenny, and:the rest severally on the Caledonian, Furness, Great Northern, North-Eastern, North London, and South fatal result is re cor d e d i n one i ns t ance Eastern Railways. A only, but a review of this series of reports shows that the defective state of the permanent way is a frequent cause of railway accidents, and that collisions usually occur from neglect on the part of the company's servants in the manage ment of the points and signals. The single fatal accident took place on the Furness Railway, and was caused, ac cording to the report of the inspector, " by driving at too great a rate of speed with as engine which, from its con struction, is not calculated to sun steadily at high speed." The train left the rails near the Cork station, the engine fell over on its left side, the driver was killed on the spot, but no ono else appears to have been se riously injured. The excessive carelessness of signalmen is emphasized by Colonel Yolland in his report of an accident that occurred on the 6th of November last on the North London Railway,' and he concludes tho report by saying that " such neglect must be regarded almost as the necessary result of working traffic on the block system." The foundation-stone of the new fort about to be erected do St:. Katherine's Rock, Tenby, has been laid by Capt. Clements, Royal Engineers, in the presence of a number of officers and others connected with the Pembroko dock garrison. The clearing and levelling of the apex of the rock in order that the foundations might be firmly laid had been going on for months past, and the fort buildings will b e a t once proceeded with. The contractor is Mr. George Thomas, rombroke. NAVAL AND MILITARY I:\ TELLIGENCE. The gentlemen cadets of the Royal Military Aca demy at Woolwich, having completed the Christmas holidays, resumed their duties at the establishment this morning, and they will be continued uninter ruptedly until June. The half-year (the third and last of Prince Alfred's studies at the academy) will then, it is stated, be brought to a close by the pre-. sence of her Majesty, who, it is rumoured, has gra ciously signified her intention of visiting the esta blishment at the " breaking up," preparatory to the Prince's taking his final departure,•on being com missioned as a lieutenant in the Royal Artillery, for which he has elected. The following is the new arrangement for the hours of study, meals, &c. : Breakfaqs in summer and winter to commence at 7 45, and the first study to be hc]d from 8 30 to 11, after which the cadets will assemble for half an hour to lunch, but in Winter it will only occupy 20 minutes. At 11 30 they will go through a course . of drills for an hour and a half. The second studies will commence at 1 and terminate at 3 in summer ; and in winter at 12 30 and close at 2 30 ; dinner from 3 15 till four insurnmer, and from 2 45 to 3 30 in winter ; recreation, 4 to 6 in summer, and from 330t0 5 30 in winter. The third study will be in summer floin G to 8, and winter froni a 30 to 7 30; prayers and tea, 8 15 to 8 45 ; roll-callat 10 and " lights out" at 10 30 throughout the year. The A division, Ist class, have the privilege of retaining their lights until 11. Public opinion at Aldershot, both in military and civil circles, is greatly in favour of the selection of the vicinity of the camp for the Easter Monday Review. Facility of access, the military advantages' of the neighbourhood, and the ease with which the Aldershot division could be made available to re present either an attacking or defending force, are points generally discussed. It is felt that not until the Regulars, the Militia, and the Volunteers are seen'acting in concert will the chief merits and de, feats of ,each service be satisfactorily ascertained, and that no place can afford a better field than Aldershot for the advantages of joint training in briglide or at review. The 68th (Durham) Light Infantry, under the command of Colonel Greer, C. 8., left Aldershot Camp on Friday, and proceeded by s,pecial train to Manchester. A court-martial was held on Saturday on board the flagship Royal Adelaide, in Hamoaze, for the trial of James Anderson, alias Loam, ordinary sea man of her Majesty's ship Canopus, for endeavour ing to seduce John Allen, an A.B. of the latter ship, from his allegiance, &c. The Court consisted of Capts. G. W. Preedy, of the Royal Adelaide, president; E. W. Vansittart, Achilles; G. 0. Willes, Indus ; C. H. May, of the Defence; the Hon. F. A. C. Foley, of the Cambridge ; and F. Tremlett, of the Impregnable. Mr. Eastlake, De puty Judge-Advocate of the Fleet, was present on the part of the Crown. Capt. Napier, of the Ca nopus, prosecuted, and Mr. T. C. Brian, solicitor, was the prisoner's friend. It appeared that on Sa turday, the 4th ult., Allen was smoking on the maindeck, when the prisoner, who was a stranger to him, accosted him 'and told him that he had known him when on board the Donegal. After some con versation they went between the guns, when the prisoner informed Allen that since be was dis charged from the Donegal he had been to Liver pool, where he had joined the Fenians. He had been at M'Cornack's eating-house, where e he had met Daley, Burke, and others, and had been drilled with them. In consequence of the money they had given him he had been doing well. The pri soner further stated that Daley was at that time in Plymouth, and held meetings at the College green beerhouse, in Cornwall-street, Devon port, and at. the Ocean Mail public-house, Ply mouth, and that preparations were making on shore to get a torpedo under the stern of the Cano pus and blew her up. After some unimportant conversation it was arranged that Allen should on Monday night go to both the houses named, in order, if possible, to meet with Daley, and that he was to take with him a note of recommendation, bearing the prisoner's signature. Priioner also gave Allen the form of an oath, which, lie stated, 'was administered to all persons on -their , initiation as Fenians. He inquired if there was a magazine on board the Canopus, and if there was one in the dockyard, and expressed his determination to blow up the house of the master-at-arms, who had been instrumental in discovering that he bad entered the u a n n ic as at s io u n w A s e i t l h a e c e d sec h o i e n d i se t l i f m ei n u c n o e m d it n h am th e a . police, and a few days afterwards, when the prisoner and he were proceeding to the supposed rendezvous at Millbay, they were both apprehended, but Allen was afterwards liberated. At 5 o'clock the Court adjourned until this morning, when the evidence for the prosecution will be resumed. It may be proper at once to state th a t th e po li ce h ave not been able to obtain any evidence to confirm the prisoner's statements about the assem bl y o f F en i ana or of supposed Fenians at the College Green or the Ocean Mail tavern. THE M.AISON DOREE.—We live in an 'age of pro gress, and consequently of improvement. Enterprise and speculation are rife at the present time, and, based upon the experience of the past, they seem to go hand in hand towards success and fortune. The late grand universal Exhibition has given a great impetus to all commercial and enterprising establishments, and the savoir vivre, or best manner of living, is wonderfully shown at the Maison Doree, which was opened for the first time in Glasshouse-street, Regent-street, only a few months ago, which then took the West-end, we may say, by storm, and which has ever since maintained its self-stamped reputation among gour mets, bons vivants, and, in fact, all lovers of good cheer Its luncheon bar would be the envy of the most fastidious Parisian epicure, and its splendid dining-room would, by its stylish "lay out," give an appetite to the most blasé of mortals. The appointments of its private rooms for parties are in every way contrite itfaut, and while Parisian ele gance has been strictly followed out, English comfort has been closely attended to in the getting up of the establish ment. The culinary department is under the direction of English and foreign chefs, who vio with each other in producing the ne plus ultra of wholesome and relic ling dishes. The wines, imported direct from the growers, bear the stamp of genuineness with them, and are placed before the visitors at, we may say, wholesale prices. ' The attendance leaves nothing to be wished for, and we feel much pleasure in stating that the Lon ion Maison Doree, although tearing the same name as its sister house in Paris, is under the able management of an Englishman. True it-is that the said manager was long connected with Philippe's, the Rocher de Camale, and other hist-class restaurants in the capital of La Bella Prance, before being appointed' to the Maison Doree ; and verily i svay we-, the proprietor was well inspired. A CurroN MILL BURNT DOWN.—On Friday morning • 'the Lumford cotton-mills, situate at Bakowell, Derbyshire, were totally destroyed by fire, involving a loss of 413,000. The fire originated in one of the spin ning rooms, on the third story, and in less than an hour the whole building was in flames. The mill, which was in sured for £3,000, belonged to his Grace the Duke of Devon shire. : `The property was rented by Messrs. Jones and Sons, of Manchester, who, in addition to the material, owned' the working plant. Their loss is estimated at £lO,OOO, and they are insured for £7,000. A detachment of the Southampton volunteers has been tinder arms during the last two nights, guarding their tit moury, in consequence of a letter received by ono of the officers, written on paper ii use in the Ordnance Survey Office in the town, warning him that an attack would be made for the purpose of securing arms and am munition, of which, however, there was none in the building, which is merely a private house. The affair is believed to be a hoax.

MARKETS--(this Day.) CORN. The weather since the last market has bean broken, with heavy rain at intervals, causing some interruption in farming operations, but the accounts are not, on the whole, unfavourable. The general aspect of the grain trade is quiet, with ♦ery moderate supplies hi the principal country markets; good dry samples of wheat as well as spring corn are firm, whilst damp and indifferent qualities are purchasable for the most part ou easier terms. Business at Mark-lane opened this morning with a mo derate attendance, light supplies, a quiet trade with a steady tone about prices. The show of English wheat was moderate, rather vari able in quality and condition. The better samples met a good demand, and realised fully late rates, but secondary sorts were not dearer. Foreign supplies of wheat were light and were well held, and stiffer rates were asked for desirable qualities. The Flour trade was Arm, with transactions of fair ex tent both iq English and foreign. Malt sold slowly, at about late rates. Bar ey realised steady prices generally, but only mode rate sales of either malting or grinding . polities %age effected. Beans were iu limited supply and the turn dearer. lies sold slowly, but hollers wcre ilrm, and more money was asked. Oais were in short supply, and moved off slowly at firm prices. The demand for seeds was not active, but quite late rates were paid for all descriptions. NENVGATE AND LEADENHALL.

Quotations remain without variation. No. 12 Savannah floating is worth 245, and fair refining Cuba 22s to 22s 6d. OOFFEL—Prices are steady, but, pending the auctions which commence to-morrow, only a limited business is passing. TEA.—The market is inactive, the : trade lxiing wholly engaged with the inspecticw of . samples preparatory to the auctions, which commence to-morrow. COTTON meets a steady sale, at the recent improvement in value. WooL, the next series of which sales commence on the 27th, when about 100,000 bales, will be offered, including about 30,000 bales from the Cape of Good Hope. The wool trade is rather more animated than it has been, but not to indicate any appreciable change in prices, the offers being generally at low rates. JUTE continues without activity. METALS. —There is no change in the markets worth naming. Oats.—Liuseed, 34s 61 to 34s 9d ; English Rape, 35s to 35s 3d. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The supplies of fat stock on sale to-day were moderate, and the trade generally ruled dull. Of beasts there were 3,597 English ; 393 Scotch ; 150 Irish; 910 foreign.

The fine qualities of butter have been in good demand, and foreign sorts have realised more money. The quantity of other descriptions having fallen off this morning, fine. Friesland is quoted 126 s to 130 s. Cheese moves off steadily, at late rates. Bacon remains without much activity. Prime sizeablo Irish sides on board are quoted 51s to 555. BOROUGH HOP. Henry Turnbull and Co. report that there is no altera tion to notice in the market, the business doing being confined to immoliate consumptive requirements. In foreign hops there is only a moderate supply, but the trade rules slow. Nevertheless the transactions which have taken place have been sufficient to keep prices firm. There is a bettor demand for old hops. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, Feb: 3.—Market opens dull and drooping. Sales probably 10,000 bales. • S UPPING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

From inquiries made at Knowsley on Saturday we learn that, although the noble earl has not yet ventured to leave his room, he is rapidly regaining his strength, and it is pro bable, should the weather be favourable, that he will leave Knowsley for London in a few days, in order to join his colleagues. REPRESENTATION OF THE METROPOLITAN Bo- ROUGHS.—Many attempts will probably be made to alter the representation of the metropolitan boroughs at the next general election. For Marylebone, Mr. Harvey Lewis and Mr. Thomas Chambers, Q.C. will offer themselves for re election, but three other candidates are already in the field —Mr. Mason Jones, Mr. George Potter, and Mr. Meschen, of the Temple. For the Tower Hamlets, Mr. Butler re tires, in order to become a candidate for Hackney, and Mr. Saaiuda and Mr. Edmond Bales have already offered themselves. For Hackney, in addition to Mr. Butler, Mr. Deputy Reed, Mr. helms, and Mr. Horner are can didates, and it is said Mr. Samuel Morley, but this does not appear to be certain. For Lam beth. Mr. Hughes will again offer himself, and Mr. Doul ton will also probably seek re-election. Mr. R. Hartwell will be the working man's candidate.

FOREIGN THIEVES AND ASSASSINS IN ENGLAND.- --The police in the Thames district leave recently made captures, at different times, of a number of foreiviers, who had embarked upon a course of burglary in the most audacious manner. Four of these men, all Fr3neh • men, wore committed for trial on a charge of being concerned in two burglaries three weeks go. have now been apprehended, who give the n go. wo m ames of Joseph Moquerio and Abraham u,larJackson, y committedand they are b charged with compli cit y iu the b the others. Moquerie was captured in Greek-street, y Scho, and the proceeds of one burglary were afterwards discovered in a respectable dwelling house in Leicester square. Upon the examinatio n of the p risoners, M. Alex ander Giuranovicb, a native of Trieste, acted as inter preter, and he professes to have received information which justifies him in expressing the belief that the late murder of a lady in Birmingham was committed by mem bers of this foreign gang now in England. He states that all the men have given fictitious names, and he has reason to believe that they have all been convicted of serious cr imes in their own country. Deadly weapons were found upon some of the prisoners. Their apprehension is also stated to have prevented the perpetration of the murder of a wealthy old gentleman residing in Bermondsey.

THE COMSTOCK LODE.—flowr MUCH OF THE COMSTOCK IS WORKED.—Comparatively few people out ' side of the State of Nevada are possessed of any definite sort of idea of the size and extent of the Comstock ledge, and what proportion of it has been and still is being worked. In fact, very few of us even in this city, dwell ing directly over the great lode, have a realizing concep tion of the extent of the mining excavations beneath our feet, or of the amount of shaft, tunnel, and drift work which has been done in prospecting in every direction throughout the vast body of vein matter in search of the much-coveted streaks of pay ore. Those of our commu nity, however, who delve with pick and shovel, or whose daily avocation leads them down among the deep mines, hundreds of feet beneath the foundation of our city, can ' hardly fail to have a fair appreciation of the subject. The Comstock is pretty definitely traced, located, and compa ratively understood for the distance of over three miles, including that portion from Cedar Hill, south, running under this city, Gold Hill, and for a limited distance be yond. As to the width and depth of the lode, those are two points which the profoundest experts, we believe, have never thus far been able legally to decide. Front present indications, it is fair to presume that it continues down through the crust of the earth into the molten bowels thereof, but the width is not so easily disposed of. The peculiar hard diarite or "country rock," forming the body of Mount Davidson, is generally conceded to be the west wall of the ledge, but the precise location of tho east wall has over boon a subject of legal controversy. w, shall not presump'uously attempt here to locate and per manently fix that mythetical institution, but will sim ply. state that our own observation makes the real Comstock ledge from 100 to 800 feet in width, being narr ow er in some localities than in oth ers . Th e ve i n matter in the boundaries wo have described is composed of quartz,nd "horses," and oth er spe ciescolafyro% ems, kformation, the vast majority a descriptions porphy-ry, of which does not come under the head of pay ore. This latter desirable commodity lying ledge, nua in ne set of streaks which or bodiescannot be of all ea si l z c e u s l , a t te h d e or depended up on t o a certainty ; thus it is that the famous Mexican mine, which was once considered worth millions, failed altogether to yield pay ore two years ago. There wore two rich streaks in it, which narrowed as they were sunk upon, from thirty to fortyfeet in width, until, at the depth of less than four hundred feet, they gave out en tirols. Tho mine at present is like a nut with the kernel extracted—the shell remains. The Ophir has a similar history, and the Gould and Curti, once considered the leading representative of the Comstock mines, has little left to brag of. The future hopes of the mines wa have mentioned all lio in the development of new bodies of ore unknown at present writing. Their locations and pros pects are excellent. The pilneipal bodies of ore which have been, and still are being, worked this side of the Di vide, are tho to included in ill) Savage, hue, and Nor cross, and Chollar-Potosi These great bodies are thus far continuous, that portion cropping ant at the Gould and Curry descondi* t h enc e with a dip to the south through the Savage and into the Hale and Norcross, while the other portion crops out at the surface of the Chollar Potosi Mine, and is known as the 011 Medlar croppings. The space included by these three mines is about 2,ZiO 0 feet in length of tho ledge, and during the last five o six years many hundreds of thousands of tons of ore hay been taken therefrom, the mining having been earried t a depth of nearly 1,000 feet. Let it be borne in min that the pay ore even at this point does not constitute one half of the real extent of the vein itself, only Coe streaks or todies of pry ore are followed and mined out.— Virginia City (Nevada) Enterprise. ~)y ►. 2. 20 st st 100 Bt it 20 at LO tOo it 100 I 10U 1100 15 100 100 10; i
