about 40 years of age, entered the house, walked leisurely
up stairs, and examined several rooms. Finding nothing
portable, he went into a bed room which was occupied by a
gentleman, named Thomas Seaton, a mercantile person from
Oxford. The intruder looked slily round the room, and
then took up the gentleman's trowsers, with which he was
about making his escape, when Mr. Seaton awoke and
seized on the fellow. There was a considerable sum of
money in the trowsers pocket. The prisoner was handed
over to officer Murphy 676, who, on searching him, found

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING

more active to-day, and a moderate business has
been done at full rates, the sales amounting to
8,000 bales, of which 3,000 have been taken for
speculation and export.
The Liverpool Share Market has been quiet, and
after opening weak, prices went rather lower,
closing flat at the lowest point, as under .

The Arabia, from Boston, arrived hero this
afternoon, with half a million of dollars in specie,
and dates from New York to the 12th inst. The
commercial accounts are devoid of any striking
feature, but may generally be regarded as satis-
factory.

Messrs. Browne, Hunter, and Co. have to-day
issued their usual monthly circular, from which
we quote the following general remarks upon

trad e :
The activity and buoyancy in our Produce Markets that
were observable at the date of our circular 24th uht.., have
somewhat abated during the present month, and although
the business transacted in the various articles has been to a
fair extent, the demand being chiefly confined to the wants
of the trade, apart from any speculative feeling, prices, in
many instances have not been sustained. The reaction that
has recently taken place in the Money Market, in which
the value of accommodation has been augmented by the
continued drain on the stock of bullion, has no doubt created
a degree of caution, and checked an extension of mercantile
operations ; and had it not been for the brilliant weather
experienced during the past few weeks, so essential at this
time for maturing the cereal crops, and the favourable
prospects of the harvest both on the Continent and in this
country, it is probable that some derangement would
have been produced in monetary affairs. The trade
and commerce of the country continue in a most satis-
factory position : the fact that the declared value of
manufactures exported during the first six months of the
present year exceeds that of the corresponding period of
1855 by upwards of ten and a half millions is corroborative
of the activity that has prevailed in the manufacturing dis-
tricts. Although there has been no alteration in the rate of
dircount at the Bank of England, the continued efflux of
gold to the Continent in part purchase of silver for ship-
ment to the East, which continues on an extensive scale,
has caused greater stringency iii the money market, and
notwithstanding the arrivals of -specie have been almost
equivalent thereto, there being no material alteration in the
stock of bullion, which is now £11,804,730, against
£11,798,605 at the same period last month. When the
wants of France are satisfied, which, from their magnitude
and the resources available for their supply are regarded as
anomalous in their character, and therefore temporary only,
the value of money will soon assume a downward
tendency.

The London Stock Market opened without ani-
mation to-day, and continued inactive up to the
official closing. Consols were last quoted at—
A ecount, 954 Do. Money, 954 4. Exchequer
Bills, 11 14. Three and a Quarter per Cent, 964.
The London Railway and general Share Market
was dull but steady. In a few of the large lines
a reduction of about to 4 may be
observed. We subjoin the latest quotations :
Caledonian, 584584. Edinburgh and Glasgow, 60
62. Eastern Counties, 94 94. East Lancashire, 83
85. Great Northern, 974 984. Do. A, 85 87.

The London Corn Market was very poorly
supplied with English Wheat to-day. The bulk
of the new samples were in prime condition, and
the whole was disposed of at an advance of 3s per
quarter upon the rates of this day week. The
market was largely attended by country buyers,
but the weather being dry confined their
purchases to retail quantities at Friday's improve-
ment, being 4s per quarter over our quotations of
Monday last for the lower qualities. Baltic and
Hamburgh descriptions continue to be neglected.
Barley sold freely at about last week's rates.
Beans maintain their former value. Norfolk flour
realised 53s to 54s per sack, and American barrels
an advance of is to 2s.

Amongst the new projects to which subscriptions
are solicited in Paris is the Bois de Boulogne
Company, a specie of land company. It claims
to possess a large tract of land in the Bois de
Boulogne, purchased from the city of Paris, and
hopes to sell it in lots at a higher figure. Appli-
cations are invited for twenty thousand shares of
101. each.

Tau STEAMSHIP KANGAROO.—This fine steamer, belong-
ing to the Liverpool and Philadelphia Steamship ompany,
arrived at Philadelphia on the 13th instant, after an excellent
passage of thirteen days. She experienced head winds
during a great part of the passage.
CRICKET.—A match was played on Saturday last, between
the Collegiate Institution and Claughton Firs Cricket Clubs'
which terminated in favour of the former by one run and
two wickets. The following are the scores :—Collegiate
Club, 28 and 85, with two wickets to go down ; Claughton
Firs, 68 and 44. _ _

CRIMINAL ASSAULT ON A CHILD.—A ruffian, named John
Downey, a renovator of old shoes, who resides in Scotland-
road, was yesterday committed for trial. by Mr. Mansfield,
for a brutal assault committed on a child, named Margaret
Haines, who is about nine years of age. The details are
unfit for publicatian.
SUDDEN AND ACCIDENTAL DEATHS.—On Sunday evening
a boy named Richard Wood, eleven years of age, who lived
with his parents at No. 2, Bolton-street, was playing in the
yard of Mr. M'Murdo, of Warwick-street, when the pole of
a timber carriage struck him on the head, and fractured his
skull. He died shortly after in the Southern Hospital.—
On Sunday, a youth ,named William Berin' aged sixteen,
who lived with his parents at 26, Prince William-street,
was on board the ship Bloomer, in the Brunswick-dock, when
he fell into the water, and was drowned.
SUICIDE BY A MAN UNKNOWN.-011 Saturday night,
shortly after ten o'clock, a middle aged man, who, from his
appearance, was in poor circumstances, went into a shop in
School-lane, and asked for a drink of water, which was
supplied. He snapped up a large knife, ran into the
street, and drew it across his neck. Thomas Davies, of
Church-alley, wrested the knife out of the man's hand, and
some other men caught him and took him to the Southern
Dispensary, where he died shortly after. The body has not
as yet been recognised. It is supposed that the unfortunate
man was mad, and that he was a tailor.
A BAND STOPPED !—Yesterday, about half-past two
o'clock, a " little sensation" was created in Lord Street,
consequent on the following incident :—Some twenty
youths, apparently about forrteen years of age, dressed in
very light blue long coats, white trousers, and red caps,
came up from Church Street playing fifes and beating
drums' followed by a large crowd of people. The boys
looked well, and had a semi-military air about them ; and.
from their picturesque appearance, a rumour (and what will
not a rumour do ?) ran about to the effect that they were
Turks, belonging to a man-of-war of that nation. On marched
the boys, playing —and in good s yle, too—" The girl I left
behind me," and, as they proceeded, the crowd augmented
at every step. No doubt the poor little fellows imagined
they were doing it " very fine," and tbey were the " observed
of all observers ;" in this latter respect they were not mis-
taken, for, just as they reached Tohn Street, a big police-
officer presented himself before the astonished ' band
master," and commanded him to "stop !" The order was
instantly obeyed, and, of course, the cessation of the music
had the effect of collecting a larger crowd than would the
sounds of the ear-piercing fife. The usual interogatory of
" what's it all about ?" ran through the crowd, when the
police-officer informed the people that there was an order
prohibiting bands from playing in the streets. One or two
persons seemed rather indignant, and asked why were
German bands allowed, and English boys prevented from
enjoying themselves ? The question was not answered. It
appears the boys had come from some part of Yorkshire, on
an excursion train, and that they thought to astonish all
Liverpool by their music, and a flag which was borne in
front of the band, with the inscription, " Britains hope !"
If " all Liverpool" was not astonished at the boys, we are
sure the lads were " right fairly astonished", at what they,
no doubt, considered an infringement on the "liberty of
the subject." But, after all, the prohibition is necessary,
taking into account the unmusical tastes of divers cab and
other horses, that take too much " liberty" at duloet
sounds, by dashing off at full speed—despite the restrictions
of leather thongs and arms--and often upset poor apple
women. We think, however, if the application of restric-
tion be applied as above, the German brass band nuisance
ought to be effectually put down.
