MONEY MARKET

AND
COXEMCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Symptoms of increasing easiness are perceptible
this morning in discount circles. The supply of
commercial paper on offer is far below the cepital
at the command of binkers and brokers, and the
latter are, therefore, evincing greater disposition to
negotiate business fully per cent. under the mini-
Mum of the Bank of Engiand. The best mercan•
tile paper of three months' date is now actively
sought after, on terms ranging from 5i- to 5i per
Cent.

A further suni of £444,000, in bar gold, was
taken into the Bunk yesterd y.
The Bank of England return, computed to Wed-
nesday, shows an increase in the stock of bullion,
but the accumulation is not so large as was antici-
pated. There is also an addition to the other secu-
rities. Subjoined is our usual analysis:—

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our markets to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were small. Both red and white qualities met, how-
ever, a slow sale, at Monday's currency.
With foreign wheat, the market was but moderately sup-
plied, the transactions were, for the most part, of retail
character; nevertheless, prices ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of grain were in bat moderate request,
at late rates.
The supply of barley on the stands was moderately large.
Sales, generally speaking, progressed slowly, yet prices ruled
stationary.
Malt sold slowly, at late rates.
The supply of oats on sale was somewhat extensive. The
trade was dull for all qualities, and prices had a downward
tendency.
For beans and peas the trade was in a sluggish state, at
fully the late decline in the currency.
Flour changed hands to a limited extent, at late rates.

Lord PALMERSTON said that the qaestion would b
decided by the Assemblies of Estates. The noble lord,
reply to a subsequent question, denied that the treaty el.
1852 had anything to do with this subject.

men of her Majesty's Coastguard service, for their continued
valuable assistance to the society."
The resolution was seconded by Admiral HALL, C.B„
and supported by Capt. R. ROBERTSON, R.N., of the Board
of Trade. The latter gentleman stated that it was his duty
to report upon the condition of the lifeboats of the associa-
tion, and he was happy to say that they were in a most effi-
cient condition. The Board of Trade was most anxious to
give every assist4nce to the society, and to aid in every way
in the preservation of life from shipwreck on the coasts.

The resolution was unanimously agreed to.
J. D. ALLCRO?T, Esq., moved, and the Rev. George
WILKINS seconded, the following resolution, which was
also adopted :—" That this meeting tenders its cordial
thanks to Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., V.P., th,
chairman; to Mr. Thomas Chapman, F.R.S.. V.P., the
deputy-chairman ; and to the other members of the cons
mattee of managemett, for the care and attention with
which they continue to administer the important affairs of
the institution. Also to the honorary local committees of j
the several branches of the institution for their zealous co-
operation with the central committee in promoting the
efficiency of the lifeboat establishments intrusted to their
superintendence and management."
THos. CEArmArr, Erq., the deputy-chairman, acknow-
ledged the compliment, and proposed h vote of thanks to
Sir John Pakington for his conduct in the chair, and for
the kind interest which he takes in the welfare of the asso-
ciation. The motion having been seconded, was carried by
acclamation.

SITE OF THE PATENT OFFICE.

Lord A. CHURCHILL asked the First Commissioner
of Works whether,taking into consideration the great incon-
veniences of the present Patent Office, it was the intention
of her Majesty's Government, in accordance with the re-
commendation of the Parent Commissioners, to afford
facilities for erecting suitable Patent Offices, including
library and museums, &c., upon the site of Fife Howie,
Whitehall, it appearing that the Crown lease of this pro-
perty had recently expired, and that the Commissicners of
Patents have ample funds at their disposal for building
purposes.

Mr. COWPER said that the site alluded to was not at
present available, and no site had yet been decided upon.

THE TUSCALOOSA.

Mr. PEACOCKE asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether he would lay upon the table of the house the
opinion of the law officers of the Crown upon the subject
of the Tuscaloosa, which was forwarded to the Admiral at
the Cape of Good Hope ?
Lord PALMERSTON said there were professional as
well as political reasons why the opinion referred to, which
was for the guidance of Government, should not be laid on
the table.

COLONIAL.

TEA.—At the public sales full rates have been obtained
for fiae qualities of congous and greens; about .16,500 pack-
ages were offered, of which 8,000 were sold.
Su AR.—Business has continued quiet, and prices have
not varied to any important extent. In the refined market
quotations have exhibited little or no change of importance.
COFFEE.—The dealings in colonial have been to an ave-
rage extent, and both native and plantation Ceylon realised
former prices.
• RICE.--A fair inquiry for East India, but the high rates
demanded by holders has in some measure disturbed ope-
rations.
FRUlT.—Currants have been in fair demand, and for
raisins, figs, and other descriptions there has been a fair
inquiry at late prices.
TALLOW.—The market has been dull. P.Y.C. on the
spot is quoted 42s 42s 3d ; April to June, 42s 3d; and last
three months, 44s 9d per cwt.

LUNATIC ASYLUMS (IRELAND).

Colonel ORE VILLE asked the Chief Secretary for Ire-
land if he had received the resolutions passed by the grand
juries of the different counties aff3cted by the changes pro-
posed in the district lunatic asylums; and if so, whether it
was the intention of the Government to persevere in the
contemplated changes?
Sir R. PEEL said that ho was not aware of any of the
changes alluded to, but he would he happy to confer with
the hon. member on the subject.
_ SUB-INSPECTORS OF FACTORIES.

Col. EDWARDS asked the Secretary of State for the
Rome Department, with reference to the statements made
by him on the subject of the memorial of sub inspectors
of factories, and the recent increase of their sa-
laries sanctioned by the Treasury, whether it was
intended to convey to the house that the sub-
inspectors' salaries had been raised to £7OO per annum
after certain years of service; and, if not, whether he would
state the exact nature and extent of the change sanctioned
by the Treasury ?
Sir G. GREY said that he had not made any scale such
as that alluded to, but it was proposed that the salaries
should be raised gradually to £5OO a year.
THE DANO-GERM AN CONFERENCE.

In reply to Lord R. Moxr.tatr,
Lord PALMERSTON said that he had already
stated that Prussia, Austria, and other European powers
had agre to the conference, awl they had reason to
ed
believo that, Denmark would also consent. He hoped
that a cnference, when the question at is,ue would be dis-
cussed, would lead. to an armistice. (Hear, hear.)

LIMITED ENLISTMENT.
_ -

The Earl of DESART asked the Secretary of War
whether the Government had made any preparation to
meet the difficulty which seemed likely to ensue in conse-
quence of the operation of the Ten Years' Enlistment Act.
Earl DE GREY and RIPON said it was the intention
of the Government to hold out greater inducements to old
retiring soldiers to re-enlistment. He was not in a position
to state the precise terms which would be offered to the men.
The matter had not escaped attention, and was now under
the serious consideration of the Government.
Lord HILL asked how the Government intended to
carry out the proposed reduction in the artillery.

Earl DE GREY said they intended to reduce the
artillery by discharging only the bad characters in the
different battalions, and in stopping the enlistment of new
men.

After a few words from the Earl of HARDWICKE, the
subject dropped.
IRISH CONSTABULARY.

Lord DONOUGHMORE asked whether her Majesty's
Government had in contemplation any measure for the
reform and improvement of the Irish constabulary.
Earl GRAN VILLE said that the Secretary of State for
the Home Department was in communication with the Irish
Government with regard to the possibility of rendering it
more effective as a detective body.
After some observations from the Earl of Desart, Mar-
quis of Clanricarde„ and Earl of Leitrim, the sbbjsct
dropped, and

AND MR. SHERIDAN.

Sir JOHN HAY rose to move the following :—" Thrt'
this house sees with regret that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer has not considered it his duty, after the expla •
nation given last night, to withdraw the imputations which
he has cast on the hon. member for Dudley." He said the
in this ease a question of privilege was involved. The righ
hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer said lac
night that if he had been guilty of what was charged agains
him ho was beunit not only to apologise to the hon. metubei
for Dudley (Mr. Sheridan), but that he was deserving the
censure of the house, and on these issues he challenged the
decision of hon. members.
The SPEAKER interrupted the member on a point o
order, and said that the question of privilege sb.ould be dv
tided before the motion was made.
Lord PALMERSTON then moved that the. motion o.
the hon. baronet should have precedence of the orders of
the day.
After an animated discussion, in which Mr. Bouvrnin,
Mr. ROEBUCK, and other hon. members took part,
The CHANCLLOR of the EXCHEQUER entered
into an explanation, Ar,e, said that as regarded the society
in question he was prepared to adhere to his statement oil
the facts on which it was founded. As regarded the hon.
member for Dudley he said that ho bad not heard the de-
claration he understood he bad made of his not being in any
responsible for the transactions of the society, and if he
made that distinct declaration he (Mr. Sheridan) would be
entirely freed ;from any adverse presumption, amhndlaad:verouhle
be in the same position as if his (the Chancellor of
in
the Exchequer's) statement had never been made.

Lord PALMERSTON said that his motion was rendered

The notion was then withdrawn.
The CHANCELLOR of the EX.CHEQUER said he
was misinformed, and understood that the hon. member
had been an auditor of the society. . .

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER repeated
that he had been under the itupres,ion that the hon. mem-
ber had been auditor of the society in 1854; and he again
apologised to the hon. member.
Sir T. HAY then withdrew his motion, and the subject
dropped.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL,

A meeting of the Court of Common Council was held
yesterday in the Council Chamber, Guildhall. The Lord
Mayor presided.

THE SHEFFIELD CALAMITY.

Mr. H. N. PHILIPPS, in allu ling to this sad catastrophe,
said he would not expatiate upon the sad details of that
melancholy occurrence, as each day brought from the neigh.
bourhood fresh details of desolation and distress ; and the
accounts as they appeared, instead of showing that the first
description was ovar-painted, continued to furnish fresh in-
stances for public benevolence. He had been in communi-
cation with the mayor and town-clerk of Sheffield, and it
appeared that not only had numbers of people lost their
lives, but the flood had passed through the different streets
with such devastating power as to reduce the inhabitants to
the direst distress, not only rendering destitute the artisans,
but others who resided there, and who gave them their em-
ployment. A public meeting had been held at Sheffield, and
it was stated that 250 persons were known to have perished,
and the condition of the surviving sufferers was such as no
report could afford an idea of. Not only had lives been lost,
but an immense amount of property had been destroyed,
and nothing but destitution and misery reigned around. He
was sure he should have the unanimous approval of the
Court, when he said it was a case which called for public
benevolence, and one on which the Corporation of London
should stretch forth a helping hand. He should move—
" That this Court do contribute the sum of 400 guineas in
aid of the sufferers by the recent inundation in the neigh-
bourhood of Sheffield."
One of the members from behind called out "make it
£500," upon which there was a strong manifestation in
favour of the larger amount, and Mt. Philipps said he had
named the sum he had mentioned in the motion feeling sure
that he should west with no opposition tor th a amount, and
he desired to have a unanimous feeling in the matter ; but
if the Court thought fit to suspend the standing order he
should most certainly support the larger sum.

A show of hands was taken in favour of the suspension
of the standing order, and the motion, which was seconded
by the chairman, with the substitution of £5OO for four
hundred guineas, was unanimously agreed to.

LAYARI'S EXPLANATION (by means of a
letter from Colonel St. John Neale, containing the
following passage) as to the Burning of Kagosima • " I
deem it desirable to add that the population of Kagosima
at no period exceeded 40,000 inhabitants, far from 180,000,
as has been strangely imagined, to serve as a more striking
text for comments ; and further, that those 10,030 souls—
men, women, and children—withdrew, while their huts and
paper houses increased the risks attendant upon stray shot
and shell from a British squadron, audaciously fired upon
by numerous batteries because it had signalled its inten-
tion to obtain redress for a barbarous murder and outrage
committed upon British subjects for which all redress bed
been evaded. Subsequent events, the voluntary payment a
the indemnity demanded, the formal obligation entered into
to execute the murderers of Mr. Richardson when arrested,
the professions of friendship cheerfully expressed by Sat •
suma's envoys on behalf of their chief, their desire to culti-
vate friendly and social intercourse with the British nation,
and their good humour and graceful offerings (of fruit) to
the crew of the flagship of the British admiral after the facts
of Kagosima, would all imply that the agents of her Ma-
jesty displayed a degree of caution and moderation duly
appreciated by those most deeply interested." And for the
English, according to the Queen:—"From this," says our
contemporary, "it is clear: First, that although it might
be wrong to knock a city with 180,000 inhabitants to pieces,

The Late• Alpine Catastrophe.

The tourist who so marvellously escaped in the
late accident, near Sion, in the Valais, gives the
following account of the occurrence :—" On the
28th of February, Mr. Boissomet and I lett Sion, at
half-past two a.m. with heir guides, to mount the
Haut de Cry—a mountain of 9,700 feet high, in
the neighbourhood of Sion. My friend had as
guide Bennet), the first guide in the Valais. I
had a simple chamois hunter who knew the
but only that one. The night was
splendid mountain, ;
we walked up the pine forests, and a
little before seven saw the sun rise above the moun-
tains. It was one of those sights almost too beauti-
ful to describe; the air was calm, the sky cloud-
less, and the temperature a half degree above
freezing point (centigrade). Wa measured the
height, and found it about 7,000 feet. Our progress
found no obstacle, and about twelve we were within
750 feet of the summit. We had been enjoying the
splendid day, and we were so happy. Suddenly
the snowfield, on which we were crossing diago-
nally, tore above us, and the lower part began to
descend with us ; we had started an avalanche
under our feet. I made ono desperate attempt to
stop our progress, by driving
fey pole deep intothe
snow. It was useless. We were all six carried
down lowards the valley, and stopped only after
having passed over 1,800 or 2,000 feet of ground.
Tho rope tore between the first and second guide, bat
this was useless, as nothing can arrest an avalanche
of the size of that which had started ; it was
several hundred yards wide, and of an enormous
length. The descent may have taken about one
minute. I had time to think of home, and to make,
as I thought, my last prayer.
During the descent
I was buried once, then I cams again to the sur-
face; the motion ceased, the avalanche had stopped ;
its last wave covered me. Instinctively I threw
up my arms to protect my head ; in the moment
the avalanche stopped it froze. I then thought I
should be crushed to death. It was dark, and
I was suffocating. I could not move, for I was
frozen hard. At last I felt that my hands, as
far es the wrist, had motion. 1 uncovered
the snow above my head; at last I saw a little
light, but my hands could not reach my mouth,
the arms being imprisoned. I pierced, with a
last terrible effort, the crust of snow that was before
my mouth. I felt air again. God had saved me.
On my right hand Bannon, the guide, lay dead ; on
my left my poor friend. You cannot imagine how I
came down again into the plain, it took five hours
and thence I went to Sion in a carriage. My feet
had suffered from frost ; thank God, the surface
alone has suffered, and my doctor says I shall soon
be well again. My poor friend and his guide were
found again, one on the day following, the other
our days after. The other three guides escaped
with blight wounds, save my personal guide, who
nad nothing. It was ha who took me out of the
hnO i; and io.e, as 1,5 Er:7 my band.."

NEW SOUTH WALES.

.Mr. W. MILLER asked the Tinder Secretary of State for
the Colonies if advice had been received at the Colonial
Office of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales
having followed the example of Canada, in imposing a
heavy duty on British as well as foreign manufactured
goods; and, if so, if that had been done with a view of
protecting their own manufacturers, or for the purpose of
raising revenue bymeans of indirect taxation; and if he was
aware of its being the intention of other communities in
Australia to follow the same course in regard to their fiscal
laws through their respective legislative bodies elected on
the principle of manhood suffrage.

Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that the Government of New
South Wales had expended £900,000 in public works out of
an ordinary revenue of £1,500,000, and in order to meet the
deficiency caused kad imposed an ad valorem duty on dif•
ferent articles, not for restriction purposes, but for revenue.
