MONEY MARKET A ND COMMERCIAL =NTELL GE NCB, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The payment of the dividends commenced at the Bank of England this morning, and, though the weather is preventing many persons from attend ing, a good deal of money is already at the corn maud of the public. Few reinvestments have taken place, but the Funds are at a point higher than yesterday. In the Foreign Market, United States' securities again receded a little, and the more speculative of the Continental Stocks are dull. In Railways there is no change of importance, though some ►movements have taken place in the heavy stocks. Owing to the payment of the dividends the Dis count Market is fully supplied with capital, while there is no demand from the public. The rate for first-class bills cannot be quoted higher than 11 to per cent. The Cora Market is firm at Monday's prices. Consols are k better, at 92 to 92k for delivery, and 921 to 92f for account.

The h a lf- year l y meet i ng o f the Scottish Australian Investment Company has been called for the 31st 'V t . to receive the directors' report and to declare a dividend. The Directors of the Union Marine Insurance Company announce a payment to the shareholders of 10 p er cent. In reference to the communication from the e T t nittee of Administration of the Atlantic a nd Great Western Railway, which appeared in The Globe of last evening, Mr. Ridsdale, the chairman of the Debenture-holders' Asso ciation, states as follows :—" The first paragraph . of th at l etter contains a threat against the debenture holders' committee for having investigated and Published what the committee of investigation failed after nine months' delay to accomplish. The accuracy of every statement made in the debenture-holders' report can be substantiated by their committee." The capital of the Madras Railway Company has just been increased by the issue of £1,000,000 £2O Shares, bearing the usual guaranteed interest of 5 per cent.

Mr. Barnard's de tailedstatement can be seen by any shareholder, at the company's offices ompany's ; but as it contains much valu able,, information , it wou ld b e un w ise in the interest of the company to publish it. I regret it cannot be printed for circulation." 11, The traffic receipts of the Great Luxemburg Rail- W ay Company for the week ending the sth inst., "wa a decrease as compared with the corresponding Week of last year of £725.

WEDNESDAY LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn). IN RE IV. J. ROSS.-THEATRICAL SPECULATIONS. This bankrupt was described as a theatrical manager, lately in partnership with Messrs. Framp ton and Fenton, the late lessees of the Victoria Theatre, and he came up to-day for his order of discharge, the accounts showing debts £452 due to unsecured creditors, and £925 upon accommodation hills. Mr. Robertson Griffiths, -who appeared for the bankrupt, stated that his client came from India some time ago with a capital of £2,000. lie heard that Messrs. Frampton and Fenton ha I taken the Victoria Theatre, and intended to make a great im provement in the plays produced at that trattspoA tine home. Being inclined to theatrical specu lation, although he had never indulged in it before, the bankrupt invested his Indian savings in the Royal Victoria, and, said the learned counsel, he lost every farthing. He ha? certainly dealt in accommodation bills to help the concern, because the ballet girls and others must be paid, and he also thought the lease of the theatre, which cost £1,500, and which was handed over to him as security, was worth money. His Honour granted the order of discharge, and cautioned the bankrupt against indulging his fancy in future. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. ----s--- NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Smith.) ATTEMPT TO MURDER. John Blake, a young-looking man, was indicted for having feloniously attempted to murder Thomas Whelard on the night of the 26th of Oc tober last. Mr. Pater, instructed by Mr. Chapple, appeared for the prosecution, and the prisoner was unde def ended. The facts of the case were these : That prosecutor, with a female cousin of his named Wren, about half-past nine o'clock, on the 26th October, went together to Woolwich, and on their return, as they were coming by Armstrong-street arm in arm, as the cousin was a cripple and used a crutch, they were walking in the road quietly, when they saw the prisoner shortly afterwards, and, according to their statement, Mr. Whelard was struck from behind by the prisoner. The female witness said that she saw him afterwards knocked down and receive several blows from the prisoner. He then proceeded to take her crutch, and she screamed out " Murder." He got her crutch and knocked W helard over the head with it several times. The crutch was broken, and she got home with a broom-stick, which was lent her by a young man. Mr.Whelard was much knocked about, and suffered from partial compression of the brain. Several persons living in Armstrong-street gave confirmatory testimony, and a medical prac titioner iu the neighbourhood stated that Whelard was not likely to completely recover from his injuries. The prisoner's statement was that he had just taken off his boots and coat, and was asking for a candle to go to bed, when his landlady's daughter said she heard screams, and that there was a row in the street. Prisoner went out with them to see it without his boots. He saw the female struggling with the prosecutor, and heard her say " You are trying to lead me astray." He went to her assistance, and the man and woman, according to his account, both began to beat him. They fell down each of them two or three times, and at last some one said, " Here come the bobbies,'" and he then ran away and went in doors, put on his boots, and went to Woolwich to have his head dressed. To confirm this statement he called his landlady's daughter. The learned Judge, in summing up, remarked upon the peculiar contradictions of the case, and stated that he considered that the evidence which supported the indictment charging the prisoner with attempt to murder was very slight. The jury returned a verdict of " unlawfully wounding," and the prisoner was sentenced to one year's imprisonment. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Shee.) Thomas Clarke was indicted for the wilfni murder of Annie Smith, at Lambeth. It will be recollected that the prisoner surrendered himself into custody, and this morning, on being placed in the dock, and formally arraigned on the capital charge, pleaded guilty. The Learned Judge explained to the prisoner the full effect of such a plea, and asked, after such ex planation, whether he still persisted in his plea of guilty. The prisoner still refused to withdraw his plea, when it was arranged that sentence should be de ferred until next session, in order that the state of his mind might be ascertained. POLICE INTre,LLIGENCE.—This Day. WESTMINSTER. DOG STEALTYG.—John Thompson, 35, painter, was charged before Mr. Arnold with stealing a dog valued £5, the property of a lady residing at 6, Arlington-street, Piccadilly. Mrs. Laura Millicent llblyoake said—l was . at llyde-park-corner yesterday, at fire o'clock, and had with me a vsluable little dog. I crossed to go over to Halkin-si;Dlet, and was just turning down Grosvenor-place when I missed my dog, and asked my maid if she saw it. I had just seen a man pass with a short pipe, and on turning to look I saw the dog's tail and legs from underneath the mans arm. My maid and I overtook him, and we seized the dog ; he held it quite tight, and said, '' It is not your's; it is mine." I got the dog out of his awns with the assi,tatiet., of my maid, and I sent an orangewoman for a policeman, and three came. The prisoner kept saying the dog was not mine—he had forty dogs. Cross-examined--I held your coat while the woman went for a policeman. You were not sober. Prisoner—l picked up the dog to prevent its being run over by a carriage at the Duke of Wellington's Arch. I meant to bring the dog to the station. I did not know it belonged to the lady, and only walked a few paces with it. James Bram, 124 A—l was on duty at Hyde park-corner, and was fetched to take the prisoner into custody. He said the dog came to his legs and he picked it up. He was slightly under the influence of liquor. He has given a right address, and seems a respectable man from inquiries. The police stated that the prisoner was known to them as a respectable man, and had been a house holder for 20 years. Mr. Arnold said it was a case of extreme suspi cion, but he did not think the prisoner intended to steal the dog, although if the lady had not seen him with it it might never have been seen again. After the respectable character he had been given he would not convict him, but•order him to be bound over to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for six months. THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY AND HIS STEWARD. The trial of Mr. Robert Waters, formerly steward to the Earl of Shaftesbury, was again postponed until the April Session. CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER. Sarah Amos, unmarried, was iodic' ed for the wil ful murder of her female infant. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The prisoner was a domestic servant in the ser vice of a person residing at Newington, and sus picions having arisen as to her condition she was questioned, but denied that she was enciente. How ever, the questions were pressed, and she at length admitted that the fact was true, and that the body of the child would be found in her box in ha bedroom. Search was made, and, as the prisoner had said so, the body was found with a piece of red worsted tied tightly round its throat. .There was no evidence to show that the child had been born alive. Mr. Fox, the medical gentleman, who had made a post mortcm examination of the body, was of opinion that it had. The learned Judge, in summing up the case, said the law of murder applied to all alike, women as well as men, the age of the person whose life was taken away not in the least altering the case. The question for the jury to decide was, did the deceased child die by strangulation ? It was not suggested that it ever lived, or that it died of any other cause. Mr. Fox, the surgeon, said the death of the child was caused by the tying a piece of red worsted so tightly round its neck that he was. prevented from getting more than the tips of his fingers between it and the neck of the deceased. Then they would have to decide whether murder. the de- de ceased was strangled by the priso ner, a n d whether the intention was to kill ; if so , the n it was his duty to tell them that she had been guilty of There was, however, another very important point for them to consider and decide, and that was, was the death of the child caused by the prisoner intend ing to facilitate the birth of the child ; and if so, although it bad been born alive and had been strangled by the prisoner in so doing, then it was his duty to tell them that they could not find a verdict of guilty of wilful murder against her. Taking into consideration all the evidence they would have to satisfy themselves that the in fant bad lived a separate existence from the mother, and if they could not come to a certain and indisput able opinion that such was the fact then they could not return a verdict convicting the unhappy woman at the bar of murder. There was, however, a n in dictment against the prisoner of concealment of birth, which of itself was a very serious crime, and he felt bound to tell them that there was abundant evidence to enable them to arrive at a conclusion as to that part of the case. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of not guilty of murder, but guilty of con cealment of birth and recommended her to mercy. The learned Judge sentenced her to imprisonment with hard labour for 15 months. • THE LATE FENIAN TRIALS AT MANCHESTER.-- At the Salford Quarter Sessions hold on Monday the county magistrates unanimously passed a vote of thanks to Mr. IL L. Trafford, chairman of Quarter Sessions, for his ad mirable management of the arrangements necessary for safely escorting the Fenian prisoners backwards and forwards between the New Bail,•y prison and the assize courts during the sixteen days over which the trials ex tended. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DESTROTING CLOTHES IN A WORKHOUSE.—Mary Lyas, a laundress, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with wilfully destroying her clothes while a casual inmate of St. George's Workhouse, Mount-street. Thomas Wheatstone, superintendent of labour of St. George's Workhouse, said—Last night the pri soner was admitted to the casual ward by a ticket from the police, and this morning she got up and did some work and then had her breakfast. She afterwards went to bed again and tore up all her clothes into little pieces. There bad been two or three similar cases this week, and they were obliged to give the prisoner into custody. T he p r i soner —My clothes were very dirty. I am sorry for what I have done. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lf the matter is passed over it will be continually going on ; the parish cannot stand it. The Prisoner—lf I could get a little decent clothing I could get work. Wheatstone—She has been at the workhouse a good many times, and been here before. Mr. Rogers, the representative of the parochial authorities of St. George's, said that they admitted thirty casuals every night, and that the' authorities could not find clothing for all who wished it. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l will send the prisoner for seven days instead of 21 this time. THAMES. A CANDIDATE FOR THE METROPOLITAN POLICE. —William Smith, a tall and very excitable man, was brought before Mr. Benson on a warrant, charged with deserting his three children, and leaving them chargeable to the Poplar Union. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. George Harris, one of the relieving officers of the Poplar Union, that the prisoner was a widower, and up to last winter maintained a good character. He was then engaged as an assistant in the relieving office at a time of great distress, and the pressure upon the officers very great. In August last the prisoner left his three children in the workhouse, and they had been maintained by the union ever since. The expenses amounted to 103. Last night the prisoner came to the union-house in a state of intoxication, and insisted on seeing his children. His conduct was very disgraceful, and he was again taken i n t o cus tody for being drunk and disorderly. Th e warran t granted by the magistrate for deserting his children was acted upon, and he was detained upon that. The prisoner said he was a candidate for admis sion to the metropolitan police force, and had been on drill at the Wellington Barracks, to qualify him self, for some time. He merely called last night to see his children. He was excited but not drunk, and he would support his children when he joined the police force. Mr. Benson said there was one thing in the prisoner's favour that he had called to see his children, and that he had expressed his willing ness to provide for them. The prisoner had better do so, and not leave than to the union to be maintained. The prisoner must come to some arrangement with the union authorities. lie re manded him, on his own recoguisances, until Fri day, the 17th inst. .111AR,KETS—(2 his Day.) There was only a small arrival of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day, the quality of which was only middling. Although the demand was not active, factors were firm in demanding the extreme rates of Monday last. There was a good show of foreign samples, for which there was a retail inquiry, at the late advance in tho quo tations. Fine 'nailing barley sold steadily, at full values, and there Was a fair business passing in grinding and distilling qualities. The fioating-grain cargo trade has'assumed a very firm tone, although the number of sales concluded was by no means large. The wheats afloat aro largely sought after, at improving currencies. Barley and maize being scarce, arc held for very high rates. Malt was firm in price, but the demand .ruled heavy. The supply is extensive. Oats were plentiful, and good sonntl corn moved off steadily at Monday's improvement in prices. Beans commanded fully late rates. Peas wore a slow sale, but values were firmly sup ported. Town made flower. was very steady at hardening cur rencies. Country marks and foreign were held for late rates. in linseed and rapeseed there was very little passing. Now cloverseed was very dull of sale. Cakes were firm in prices. ARRITALS TII/3 wElx. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. ?lour.

The consul passenger, Lionel Granville, who was arrested on board the Oriana on Monday, upon the supposition that he was Captain Deasy, or, at any rate, that he was implicated in the Manchester outrage• in September last, has now been released from custody. Granville went on' board the Oriana as a consul passenger at the Italian port of Leghorn, and during the pas sage from' thence his conduct' and conversation gave rise to the supposition he mas a prominent member of the Fenian Brotherhood. Intelligence to that effect had been communicated to the police, and on the Oriana's arrival at London-bridge a body of the Thames police, in two boats, followed the ship up the river, and several detectives at the same time boarded the vessel from the shore side. Granville was taken into custody, an I pri vately conveyed to the Leman-street police-stata )1), Goodman's-fields; Whitechapel. Corniminications were at once made by t:kgram to Manchester, and detectives from thence were quickly on the spot ; but they failed to recognise him either as Capt. Deasy or Kelly ; and, after a private examination, Gran ville was discharged from custody, no evidence being forthcoming to implicate him with any of the Fenian outrages: Ile is entirely indebted to his own conduct and statements for his arrest and the implications connected therewith. The Manchester police, according to the Exa miner and Times, appear to entertain no doubt that the man apprehended at London Bridge, and who gives the name• of Lionel Granville, is a man who was in Manchester recently, passing under .that name, and having no supposed con nection with Fenianism. He was, as stated in some London reports of his apprehension, in Manchester at the time of the attack on the van," but he was never suspected of being a parti cipant in the attack. About a week after that event he was engaged in -the Manchester police force on trial, and was discharged,as he did not give satisfaction. THE FRENCH DEMOCRATS AND THE FENIA.NS: The Z imes of this morning, at the request of Mr. Felix I'yat, publishes the address of the French De mocrats to their brethern in England and Ireland. They declare that the three convicts at Manchester were condemned, not for killing a policeman, but for having rescued two patriot chiefs, and: for having done that which no Government can pardon—risen in insurrection against tyranny. The address received the following signa tures :—Albert, ancien membre du Gouvernment Provisoire, ancien representant du peuple, Seine ; Greppo, ancien representant du peuple, Rhone ; Ferdinand Gambon, ancien represen tant du peuple, Nievre; Malardser, ancien re presentant du peuple, Nievre ; Collet, ancien Commandant de la Garde Nationale de Paris ; H.

ROCHDALE, Gth.—The market for flannel to-day has been flat. There was a meagre attendance of buyers, and but small selections of goods were pur chased. The general feeling in the trade is indica tive of slackness for the next few markets till the accounts for the past year are settled. The manu facturers are scarcely so well employed as they were a short time ago, manufacturers showing great care not to overstock the market. The Yorkshire goods trade remains quiet, and the same may be said as to wool. Prices of both goods and wool are without change since last week. POSTAL CONTRACTS.—The contracts just con cluded between the Postmaster-General and various steamship companies for the carriage of mails to America, gave rise to a large amount of official correspondence be tween the Treasury, the Postmaster-General, and the re spective companies interested. This correspondence, which appears as a Parliamentary paper of 61 pages, shows that there are at present four regular mails per week between this country and the United States, conveyed respectively by the North German Lloyd, the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia, the Montreal Ocean Steamship Company, and by the ships of Messrs. Cunard, Burns, and Maclver. From a letter addressed by the Duke of Montrose (as Postmaster-General) to the Lords of the Treasury, it appears that the last-mentioned, commonly called the Cunard line, is most used for cor respondence between the two countries, " which is evident from the fact that 46 per cent. of the whole international correspondence from this country to the United States, and 50 per cent. of the international correspondence from the United States to this country, are carried by this line." The correspondence is regularly despatched by the first mail made up after it is posted, so that the cor respondence sent by the Cunard steamers must be specially written for this line. It appears, moreover, that during the present year twenty-six out of thirty five mails despatched from Queenstown to New York on Sunday were delivered in that city on or before Thursday in the following week, and thirty-eight out of forty-two homeward mails despatched fro►n the United States on Wednesday arrived in time for delivery in London and the principal towns of the United Kingdom on or before the morning of Monday in the next week but one after the date of despatch. The same letter observes " that no • such regularity of communication has hitherto been afforded by the other lines." At the close of the present year the contract with Messrs. Cunard and Co. will expire, and as it has been decided that the British Government shall for the future provide only for the outward mails, tenders were advertised for by the Pest-office, and four were received. The companies tendering required from 11 and a half to 14 days for the voyage, and the Duke of Montrose considered that the acceptance of these tenders would expose correspondence to an unnecessary amount of delay, and the changes which would follow on the acceptance of these tenders would be—(l) a reduction of accommodation front the let of January next so far as the outward mails are concerned; (2) a change in the practice of the mercantile community with regard to those mails; (3) absolute uncertainty as to the homeward mails; (4) the loss of the advantages which the department or the public derives from sortation; and (5) the certainty that as the sea postage on the articles convey&l has to be paid to those who convey the outward mails, no increase in the quantities so conveyed will bring any profit to the department. Messrs. Cunard and Co. declined to fill up the advertised form of tender, but expressed their willingness to perform a weekly service between Queens town and New York, under certain conditions—to be paid £120,000 per annum if required to touch at Halifax, and £95,000 when no longer required to do so. This is a re duction of £33,000 per annum on the present annual sub sidy received by this company. The Lords of the Trea sury eventually empowered the Postmaster-General to offer to Messrs. Cunard and Co. the sum of £BO,OOO for the carriage of these mails during 12 months, which offer was finally accepted by that firm on the 4th of November, and will take effect on Saturday next.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Yesterday morning Charles Fosgate, a remanded prisoner, was brought before Mr. Fowler and other magistrates, at the City Police-court, at Manches ter, charged with stealing a regulation rifle. The prisoner was not originally arrested as a Fenian, but for stealing the rifle of a volunteer, at whose house he had had a night's lodging. Several other charges of theft were also made against him. While the evi dence was being taken the prisoner frequently turned round and looked up to the gallery (which was crowded), and continued to make signs to per sons whom he appeared to identify. The officer in charge of the dock checked the prisoner from time to time, and eventually Mr. Fowler called upon the officer in charge of the gallery to arrest any person whom he saw " telegraphing" to the prisoner. Upon hearing this remark the prisoner sat down in the dock, and scowled sullenly at the magistrate. Inspector Garner, having had previous experience of the prisoner, at once rushed over the front of the dock, and an exciting scene took place. The pri soner struggled violently with the officer, and blas phemed in a strong American accent, and in the most awful terms. The struggle still continuing, Mr. Fowler said, " Gently, Garner ; don't use more violence than is necessary." The pri soner then said to Garner, " Get out of the dock. you --; you've no business here. I won't tolerate your conduct any longer. You dogs, you've abused me every way since I have been here. I'll knock one of their heads off in a minute, the infernal wretches ! Who,tha are you ?" Here the prisoner, who was evidently a man of desperate character and great strength, attempted to close with the inspector, but Garner was too quick for him. Mr. Fowler (to the prisoner)— " Prisoner, look here, you've been behay.ing very improperly all the time the case has been going on, and if you do not remain quiet, I must take the case in your absence." Prisoner—" Then let the wretches treat me better, the infernal dogs Who's going to be humbugged by you " (to Inspector Garner again)? Mr. Fowler —" Let him stand up, Garner ; if he assaults an officer in the dock, you know what to do with him." The priso ner again broke out, swearing most horribly, and was about to close again with the inspector, when Mr. Fowler said to the prisoner, you are now re manded for a week, because you are not in a right frame of mind to conduct your case properly." The prisoner was then forcibly taken to the cells below the court, yelling and struggling with much vio lence. As he was being dragged out of the dock ho exclaimed " I'll shoot the lot of you ; the whole lot!" There was considerable commotion in the gallery while this scene was going on.
