MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The demand for money is well maintained, but
the market remains in a quiet state, and the rates
atill tend downwards, although the actual move-
ment is of the smallest fractional character.

The Shannon has been announced from the West
Indies with £685,360 in specie, and the Tyne from
the Brazils has arrived at Lisbon with £1,500 on
the way to England.
The Monarch from Australia has brought
£200,388 in gold.
There is an increase of £1,406 in the traffic re-
ceipts of the Brighton R iilway, and of £468 on
the South-Eastern for the past week.

The half-yearly meeting of the Mediterranean
Extension Telegraph Company has been called for
the 6th -February.

Two O'CLOCK.
The Liverpool cotton market to-day was quiet,
but steady ; sales about 8,000 bales.
At Paris this morning, Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 70f. 15c., being sc. better than yesterday.
The official returns relating to trade and naviga-
tion for the eleven months ending the 30th Novem-
ber has just been published. From these it appears
that the total declared value of the exports from
the United Kingdom was £113,280,779 compared
With £115,355,004 on the like period of 1861,
Mowing a decrease of £2,074,225. The principal
decrease has been in cotton manufactures, cotton
Yarn, hardwares and cutlery, machinery, and sheep
and lambs' wool. _ .

The importations of the principal articles were
!Dialler as regards raw cotton and tallow, but larger
la flax, provisions, sheep and lambs' wool, coffee,
corn, flour, tea, tobacco, and wine. The shipping
accounts exhibit a slight decline in the amount of
tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United
stlngdom for the entries inwards, but there is an
increase in the clearances outwards. In the coast-
ing trade for the same period there is also a small
Increase in the tonnage entered inwards, but a de-
crease in those cleared outwards. .

Continued firmness has prevailed in the English
Stock Market to-day, but extreme dullness has also-
been apparent, the dealings being altogether devoid
of
- public interest. Consols remain at 921 for
money and account. The New Threes and the
Reduced have been 92! 1 ; the 21 per Cents., 75/ ;
Indian 5 per Cents., 1071 108 k ; ditto Enfaced
Ilaper, 1051 ; ditto 5/ per Cents., 112 k ; and Exche-
quer Bills, 9s. to 13s. prem.
The most important feature in the Foreign Market
is a rise of 1-1 in the New Peruvian Loan, which is
°Nv 931, owing to statements that the operation
L'as been ratified by the Government at Peru. Ita-
lian have advanced to 72k e ; Venezuelan Scrip to
11 a dis. ; Egyptian to 95/ 9 ; do., second issue, to
944 95 ; Mexican to 329; Portuguese Scrip to 4!
preen. ; Russian New Loan to 94} ; Spanish
Passive are steady at 231 ; Turkish 6 per Cents.,
1858, at 701 71; do., 1862, has receded to 71 1 ;
and the Scrip to 3 k prem. ; but the Consolides are
'arm ut 411-1.
A. very limited amount of business has been
transacted in the Railway Share Market to-day, but
Prices have in one or two instances slightly im-
proved. South Westerns and South Easterns
advanced ss. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s., and
'North British, 15s. Great Westerns, however, de-
nlined ss.
. The foreign and colonial undertakings were at
steady

iv• • 'When he saw the door broken open he dressed him-
tedt and having picked up a light hatchet, went down and
ir°,BBed the yard and followed the men through the kitchen
hid the hall. He had a candle in his hand and the burglars
C 'IEO a light, which they extinguished as soon as they
tiejaft,cl hint. The tallest of the five men, when he saw that
ai'''eas had a hatchet, kept dodging him about, and they
tit' followed him into the kitchen. There the tall man
blruek at him with an iron bar he had in his hand, but the
w did not take effect, and before he could recover him-
If witness struck him on the arm with the edge of the
sachet. Witness was going to strike the man, when another
atidll' 'whom he identified as the prisoner Cooper, interposed,
received a sever e blow on the shoulder with theback part
°,lll the hatchet. Cooper then struck him and knocked the can-
cl-I°.llt of his hand. He fought as well as he could in the
f but Soon received a blow on the back of his head and
welt the blood trickling down from the wound made. He

against Talbot, as proving that he was very
11, to intimate with Cooper, and tbat he was with him
a late hour on the night bc'ore the burglary. Cooper
was

The Prefect of Police has just issued an order

The Monzteur Vsnzcole announces, &though un-
der some reserve, that the idea is in contemplation of re-
ducing the octroie duties of Paris, and that wine will be in-
cluded in the list of articles to which the reductions are to
be applied.
A letter from G ilatz of the 16th says:—" In con
sequence of the sudden and extreme fall of the tem-
perature, the lower channel of the Danube is completely
blocked up with ice. Navigation is consequently entirely
interrupted. The excessive rigour with which the winter
has commenced causes it to be supposed that the ice will
continuo this year as late as in the two previous years, that
is to the middle of March."
A few days since the former Court Marshal of
Princo Adalbert of B tvaria, Baron Fallot von
Gmainer, who was suddenly dismissed from his office and
from his post in the army, was charged before the police
magistrates at Munich with having assaulted his suc-
cessor in office, Court Marshal Baron von Maltzen, in the
streets with a stick, The accused did not seek to deny the
offence, but admitted that he had struck the complainant
some severe blows. The angry baron was sentenced to 21
days' i pri: oument.
