COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
A very favourable impression is still predominant
in the general discount market, and traders are
consequently only supplying themselves with ac-
commodation for present purposes. It is generally
considered probable that when the release of the
Government and other dividends shall have been
effected the available balances will be largely in-
creased, and the authorities will be moved to lower
their official quotations. Already some of the bill
brokers are working t per cent. under the minimum
of the Bank of England, but 61 per cent. is still the
ordinary charge for first class three months' bills.
The only bullion operation of importance at the
Bank yesterday was a withdrawal of 107,000 sove-
reigns for transmission to the Brazils.
The Bank of Frankfort has reduced its rate of
discount from 5 to 41 per cent.
The changes shown in the following analysis of
the Bank of England return should have been ex-
pected at this period of the year. The rather active
demand for money lately experienced, and the
expenditure of the Government, are seen in the
increase of the other securities, and the decrease in
the reserve notes, with a diminution in the bullion
and the Government deposits.

I-luring the last few days a quieter tone has been
apparent in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets, the foggy weather having impeded the
inspection of samples. Sugars have been neglected,
but holders demand full rates. The public sales of
coffee were postponed, while only moderate trans-
actions were reported in tea, cocoa, rice, saltpetre,
and tallow at about former rates.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

UNFOUNDED CHARGE OF FELONY.—Anne libeler, 1,
King's-place, St. James's, was charged before Mr. Knox
with stealing a gold Albert chain, of the value of £2, the
property of Mr. Frederick Pansmore, artist, 15, Nassau-
street, Middlesex Hospital.
On the accused being placed at the bar,
Sergeant Harrison, the acting inspector at Vine-street
Police-station, said that at a quarter-past four this morning
the accused was brought up to the station by a constable
and the complainant, charging her with stealing his gold
Albert chain while in Piccadilly. The charge was entered,
and almost immediately afterwards the complainant found
his chain iu his pocket. lie (the sergeant) in consequence
took bail for the accused.

Mr. Knox said the complainant had placed himself in
a very awkward predicament, and ne would recommend him
to make the accused some compensation, or ho would be
liable to an action for false imprisonment.
The accused was then discharged.

WESTMIXSTER.

JUVENILE PILFERING.—Dennis Murphy, John Mur-
phy, and Wm. Whiting, three ragged and dirty boys,
were charged with stealing a large piece of bacon from out-
side the shop of Mrs. Anne Filbee, cheesemonger, 13,
Moreton-street, Pimlico.

John Ferris, shopman to Mrs. Filbee, said that about 6
o'clock yesterday evening the piece of bacon was outside the
shop exposed for sale. A lady came into the shop and told
witness that some boys were loitering outside; and as wit-
ness had only a boy with him in the shop he went and
asked a neighbour to look after them, and about 10 minutes
afterwards a person broUght one of the boys in with the
bacon.

Mr. Burrella, grocer, 11, Moreton•street, said that his
attention was drawn to the boys by last witness. He stood
opposite and watched the three prisoners. The younger
Murphy (Dennis) walked by two or three times and then
took the bacon. He then crossed to Whiting and gave him
the bacon, which he concealed under his coat. They then
joined John Murphy, who had been keeping watch opposite
witness's shop, and all three boys walked away together.
Witness followed and tookWhiting,who dropped the bacon
on his foot. The first witness pursued the others and cap-
tured them.

Whiting's father stepped forward and said his boy had
got into bad company. He had only been in London four
days, and had come from Suffolk.
Police-constable Croono proved t hat the two Murphys
had been before convicted, and that Murphy's father-in
law, when informed of the affair, treated it very lightly.
Ferris stated that some months ago the younger Mur-
phy had stolen 81bs. of bacon from their shop, but they
had boxed his cars and sent him away.
Mr. Selfe said he should certainly send Dennis Mur-
phy to a reformatory, and remanded the prisoners till
Friday next, for the attendance of Murphy's father-in-
law.

terms. With foreign produce the market is by no means
extensively supplied, and there is a good demand for all

ENGLISH AND IRISH BANK,

MEETING THIS DAY.

The first ordinary general meeting of share-
holders of the English and Irish Bank was held
to-day—Sir Robert Carden in the chair.

The report stated that the profit and loss account
showed that the gross profits of the bank had been
£9,298 13s. 2d. Out of this sum all current ex-.
penses had been defrayed, and bad and doubtful
debts fully allowed for ; leaving a profit of L 1,997
6s. 11d., which it was proposed to carry to profit
and loss new account, as the directors considered it
undesirable to divide it at this early period.
In estimating the result it should be borne
in mind that the capital called up to June was
too small to allow of any profit to that date, and
that the expenses of a new undertaking were
always disproportionately heavy.
The CHAIRMAN, in submitting a motion for the
adoption of the report, congratulated the share-
holders upon the success the bank had attained since
its establishment. The capital was small, but the
directors had nevertheless earned a gross profit of
121- per cent., and a net profit of 5 per cent. Th©
shares issued numbered 7,282.
The report was unanimously adopted, and a vote
of thanks passed in favour of the directors.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
A. very favourable impression is still predominant
in the general discount market, and traders are
consequently only supplying themselves with ac-
commodation for present purposes. It is generally
considered probable that when the release of the
Government and other dividends shall have been
effected the available balances will be largely in-
creased, and the authorities will be moved to lower
their official quotations. Already some of the bill
brokers are working per cent. under the minimum
of the Bank of England, but 61 per cent. is still the
ordinary charge for first class three months' bills.
The only bullion operation of importance at the
Bank yesterday was a withdrawal of 107,000 sove-
reigns for transmission to the Brazils.
The Bank of Frankfort has reduced its rate of
discount from 5 to 41 per cent.
The changes shown in the following analysis of
the Bank of England return should have been ex-
pected at this period of the year. Tie rather active
demand for money lately experienced, and the
expenditure of the Government, are seen in the
increase of the other securities, and the decrease in
the reserve notes, with a diminution in the bullion
and the Government deposits.

During the last few days a quieter tone has been
apparent in the Foreign and Colonial Produce
Markets, the foggy weather having impeded the
inspection of samples. Sugars have been neglected,
but holders demand full rates. The public sales of
Coffee were postponed, while only moderate trans-
actions were reported in tea, cocoa, rice, saltpetre,
and tallow at about former rates.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JAN. 8, 1864.

Another band of Italian assassins has jus
been arrested at Paris. Four foreigners, three
of them giving their own Italian names, and the
fourth endeavouring to conceal his identity, have,
in consequence of their suspicious appearance, been
taken into custody by the police immediately after
landing from England. Further examination jus-
"tifiedthe vigilance of the Parisian detectives. Gun-
powder, poiganrds, revolvers, air-guns con-
structed on an improved fashion, and eight
hand-grenades, of a similar kind to those used
by ORSINI, were discovered in their possession.
Whether these men were isolated assassins, or
whether they may be in connivance with others, will
probably be ascertained on the judicial investigation
which will be immediately directed to their case.
Secret assassination seems to be the peculiar crime
of the lowest type of the Italian race. MACAULAY,
in his admirable article upon MACHIAVELLI, has
drawn a very just and discriminative distinc-
tion between the English and the Italian
temperament, more especially in regard to
their different estimate of the qualities of
cunning and of courage. He takes, as an example,
the play of " Othello," and very forcibly remarks
that, while the emotions of the English spectators
are all excited by the wronged and openly revengeful
Moor, an Italian audience would feel greater sympa-
thy with the artful skill with which the jealous lAOO
carries out his revenge. All secret plotting, all
dastardly blows in the dark are signally repugnant
to our English nature. "The bold, the erect,
the manly foe," is the only character
which an indignant Englishman can assume,
and it is therefore especially revolting to all
our sentiments that these Italian cowards
should take advantage of our hospitable shelter
to concoct their " infernal schemes." It is a poor re-
turn for the welcome which the British shores ever
afford to all in misfortune, whether deserved or
otherwise. Royalist or Republican, refugee or run-
away, the victim of the tyranny of others, or of his
own misgovernment, ail are welcome—

" We do not ask their creed or clime

Before we giva onr hand "
it is no wonder, then, that JOHN BELL should
experience a very natural heart-burning andindigna-
Con when he finds his open-handed and unparalleled
hospitality taken advantage of by criminals
and cowards ; when he finds the sacred Egis
of his protecting shield covering the dagger of
the abhorred assassin. The Parisian populace
may be very justly indignant with those ruffianly
disturbers of the public peace who come bearing secret
weapons of destruction to imperil the national
tranquillity, but no Frenchman can feel a
moiety of the indignation with which these
cowardly incursions from ,onr 0,7711 coast are re-
garded by every true- hearted Englishman.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of L 3
17s. 104 d. p2r ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
at about the same price in London and Park,.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4214 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.44 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
1-10th per cent. dearer in hamburg than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is la:; to 161 per cent., and the premium on
,gold is 491 to 491 per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the importation of gold from the United States.

By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4241 per nark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling.
standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
1-10th per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
