ONEY MARKET

AND

COMMEILCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The revenue collections being now in active pro-
gress, the demand for money in all quarters con-
tinues rather large, and till the mercantile classes
have supplied themselves with the necessary accom-
modation, bankers and brokers show no inclination
to lower their terms for discount. The available
balances in the open market appear to increase,
and in the course of a short time, when the tem-
porary influences now at work shall have passed
away, there is no doubt that lower rates will pre-
vail. At present the quotations continue to range
from 51 to 6 per cent. for the best short dated
commercial bills.

The arrivals of gold ships from Australia an-
nounced this morning are important. The Giant's
Causeway brings £29,404 ; the Star of Peace,
£75,228; the Donald Mackay, £18,768 ; and the
Sussex, £62,676.

From advices received th-7.8 morning, it appears
that the condition of trade in the manufacturing
districts during the past week has generally been
of a satisfactory character. In the cloth and yarn
Markets of Manchester great dulness prevailed,
but business in the woollen fabrics at Leeds, Brad-
ford, and Huddersfield showed symptoms of im-
provement. At Leicester there had been a good
demand for fancy and other hosiery goods. Opera-
tions at Birmingham were not conducted on such
an extensive scale as previously, but at Wolver-
hampton orders from America continued to pour
in.

Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr.
Renter's telegrams, the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 66fr 45c., 66fr. 40c. Heavy.
In the English Stock Market to-day the varia-
tions in prices have not been important, but a more
cheerful and buoyant tone nevertheless prevails.
The large arrivals of gold from Australia, the idea
that money will be cheaper, the better state of
the weather, and the belief that the war
on the Continent has seen its worst, have
all combined to strengthen quotations, and to create
a favourable feeling. Consols are firm at 913 3 for
money, and 913 3 for the account. The New Threes
and Reduced Annuities are 893; do. 23 per Cents.,
733 743; Exchequer Bills, ss. 4s. die.; Bank Stock
is 238 ; India 5 per Cents. continue at 1043 3 ; En-
faced 4 per Cents., 93 ; 51 per Cents., 1133 ; do.
Debentures, 98q; and do. Bonds, Bs. 2s. die.
The Foreign Market opened with a very buoyant
appearance, and a general rise took place in the
principal speculative stocks. A pressure of sales,
however, has since produced a partial reaction.
Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 693 3; do. Consolides
have been 533, and are now 523 3. Greek at one
time were 233, but are at present 223 23. Spanish
Passive, after being 363 371, are 363 3. Mexican
have been 433, bat have reacted to 422- 3. Portu-
guese are 483 3 ; and the Confederate Loan has
risen to 46 48.

In the Railway Share Market the operations
have not been very extensive, but quotations gene-
rally exhibit increased firmness. Ureat Northern
have advanced 305., Bristol and Exeter and Great
Western 10s., and Midland 155., while South East-
ern have declined Os.

The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit no mate-
rial change as regards values.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remain at about
former rates. London and County realise 571
Oriental Bank, 611; Bank of London, 1651;
Queensland Sheep Company are quoted Q to 1

Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

Market decidedly stronger. Sales brobably
7,000 bales. Imports, 153 ; previously, 314.

The International Bulletin of the Observatory, in
the Moniteur, publishes the following :—" A rapid
rise in the barometer took place during last night
in the S.W. of Europe; the barometer, which yes-
terday marked 745.6 at Bordeaux, stands today at
760.8. Under the influence of that change, the
stormy weather has been driven back towards the
Baltic, and a temporary calm hs,s taken place on
the western coasts, from the north of England to
the south of Spain and on the Mediterranean. A
violent gale from the S.W. prevailed yesterday
over Portugal. The weather has to-day become
calm, with a rise in the barometer at Oporto of 15
millimetres (0.591 in.)."

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(adore Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
RE WILLIAMS.--DEED OF ARRANGEMENT.

His Honour gave judgment to-day on the question of a
deed of arrangement for the benefit of the creditors under
the 187th section. The proceedings in bankruptcy had
been staid in order that a compromise might be effected, by
three-fourths of the creditors in number and value, and it
had been duly executed, and the Court had been asked to
confirm it, and no creditor appeared to offer any
opposition. His Honour, however, said the Court must
be satisfied that the terms of the deed were reasonable and
equitable, and calculated to benefit the general body of the
creditors. The only way in which the Court would come
to a co elusion was by looking at the deed itself, and in
this case take it to intend what it professed, and assume
that it was equitable, and for the general body of the cre-
ditors, end the deed would be confirmed. He had much
doubt, and he hoped that before long the law would be laid
down mote clearly by the Lord Chancellor.

LORD MAYOR'S COURT.
(Before the Recorder and a Common Jury.)
NOVEL MODE OF SETTLING A TAILORS OVERCHARGES.

LOWENTHAL Y. PERRY.

This was an action to recover damages for assault and
slander. Defendant denied the slander, pleading that he
was first assaulted by the plaintiff.
Mr. Howard was counsel for plaintiff, Mr. Grey repre-
senting defendant.
According to plaintiff's evidence it appeared that he is a
tailor, and made a waistcoat for defendant, whois a gentle-
man of property. As it was of superfine blackcloth he
charged 145., which was paid. Some time after this, de-
fendant went into a publichouse, where defendant and a
mutual friend named Mathews were drinking gin and
water. Mathews spoke to plaintiff, when plaintiff called
out " Keep your own company, and do not speak to that
Jew." Defendant then advanced upon plaintiff, and said
"You infernal thief, what do you mean by charging me
14s. for the waistcoat. You are a swindler." Ile then
assaulted plaintiff, and hurt his throat.
To answer this, defendant denied that he had used the
language imputed to him, and deposed that he had been
first assaulted by the plaintiff, who had seized him by the
collar. Whatever defendant did was in self defence, and
not as an assault upon plaintiff, who was alleged to have
been violent.

His Lordship summed up the evidence, and the jury re
warded plaintiff £5 damages.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

COMMITTAL WITHOUT A FINE FOR A VIOLENT ASSAULT
ON A FEMALE.—William Diet; described as a photo-
grapher, of Riohmond-street, Soho, was charged before 11r.
Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting a woLan named
Hambuecher.

The complainant, who gave her evidence through ➢lr.
Albert, the interpreter, said that for the past eight months
she had lived with the prisoner at No. 12, Richmond-street,
Soho. The prisoner compelled her to go into the streets to
get money, and if she did not succeed in doing so he was in
the habit of beating her. In order to avoid his ill-usage
yesterday she left the house and went to a friend's, but in
consequence of his going there and making a great disturb-
ance, she was obliged to leave. She walked about
the streets for an hour, and during the whole time
the prisoner followed her, insulting and annoying her.
She told him to leave her, as she could not keep him any
longer; and, as he would not, she pushed him. Upon this
the prisoner struck her several violent blows on the arm and
head, knocking her down. A constable then came up, and
she gave the prisoner in charge.
In answer to the prisoner, the complainant said he forced
her to go on the streets, That she did not keep an open
razor to cut his throat, but that he kept pistols to shoot
her, and that she had not killed or wounded a sweetheart in
Germany,

A young man, named Parrel, proved seeing the prisoner
strike the female a terrific blow, which felled her to the
ground.
James Adams, 135 C, said he noticed the female push
the prisoner, and the prisoner then struck her a severe blow,
and she fell and was insensible for a few moments.

Prisoner entered into a long defence, in the (course of
which he raid that he had received a medal of merit from
the King of Prussia, and that ho had become acquainted
with the female in Cologne, and came to this country with
her, and cohabited with her. Last night she knocked his
hat off, and having the Prussian law in his mind, which
allows a person when struck to return the blow, he struck
her.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he considered the prisoner a base fel-
low for sending the female on the streets, and a coward for
striking her. As for what prisoner said about the Prus-
sian law—
Mr. Albert said it was not the case.

Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for two months,
with hard labour.

MARKETS—Tids Day,

NARK-LANE.

The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur-
day was very slow, about previous quotations. For spring
corn the demand was in a sluggish state, at fully the late
decline in prices. Flour moved off slowly, at late rates.
On the Continent the wheat trade is still very slow, and
at New York the export demand for breadstuffs continues
to rule inactive.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted
to 20,643 quarters of wheat, 12,891 barley, 27,327 oats,
1,240 beans, 90 peas, 1,666 tares, 46,496 linseed, 8,922 oil-
seeds, 210 suadry seeds, 1,060 sacks and 13,610 barrels of
flour.

Compared with Monday last, the arrivals of wheat, both
from Essex and Kent, and especially from the latter
country, exhibited a considerable falling off, the show bath
of red and white samples on the stands being of a very
limited extent. There was no improvement In the condi-
tion of the produce, and millers showed very little disposi-
tion to purchase, although sales might have been freely
effected at the rates current on Monday last. The whole
of the supply had not been disposed of at the close of busi-
ness, and the quotations were without change from our
last report.

There was a fair average supply of foreign wheat on offer.
All descriptions met a slow sale ; neveatheless prices ruled
stationary.

Floating cargoes of wheat moved off slowly, at late rates.
Maize, however, continued firm in price.
The market was well supplied with English and foreign
barley. ' Generally speaking, the trade was dull. Good and
fine malting qualities quite supported previous rates ; but
grinding descriptions changed hands at low prices.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
There was about an average supply of foreign stock on
offer in our market to-day, and sales progressed slowly, at
about previous rates.
The arrival of beasts from our own grazing districts, as
well as from Scotland, was tolerably good, and most breeds
came to hand in somewhat prime condition, The beef trade
was in a sluggish state; nevertheless, the value of Scots,
crosses, and Devons was well supported—the top figure being
58 per Blbs. Most other breeds changed hands at about
stationary prices.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,300 Scots, crosses, and short, horns ; from other
parts of England, 650 various breeds; from Scotland, 286
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 150 oxen and heifers.
We were again but moderately supplied with sheep, but
their ,;eneral quality was good, The mutton trade was
inactive, at last Monday's currency. The best Downs, in
the wool, sold at Cs; out of the wool, 4s 10d to Si per Sibs.
More than half of the supply was shorn.

Lambs were in short supply and steady request, at from
6s 8d to 7s 4d per Sibs.
Calves—the show of which was very moderate—changed
hands steadily, at Thursday's advance in the quotations.
The top price was 5s 4d per Sibs.

Small pigs moved off steadily, at full prices. In large
hogs, very little was doing, on former terms.
