rHE MONEY MARKET

AND
COMM ERCIAL INTEL LI G ENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Stock Markets are still quiet as regards business,
pending the receipt of the definite news which
it is expected must come to hand as soon as the
German hosts appear before Paris. But the ten-
dency is good. Italian opened firmer by pe
cent. upon the reassuring statement as to the orde
existing in Italy, but there have since been sales, and
reaction has taken place which leaves the price lower
than last night. In Railways, Great Northern are again
higher. Constols stand at 914 92 for money, and 92 92}
for the Account.

Although the gold taken to the Bank last week was
£576,000, the increase shown in the return last evening
is only £359,936. As was the case last week, a consider-
able amount must therefore have passed into the home
circulation, partly, perhaps, for harvest purposes, but
chiefly from the expenditure consequent on the autumn
recess. Still the position of the Bank shows a
further considerable increase of strength, the pro-
portion of reserve to liabilities being now 48 per cent.
As regards both bullion and reserve, the present totals are
larger than those of the corresponding date of last year,
when the rate of discount was down at 2i per cent., but
the liabilities were then unusually low, and the reserve
represented, therefore, a proportion of 54 per cent.
The Liverpool jovlitat of Commerce states :—" Mel-
bourne advices by the present mail report the suspension
of Messrs. John M`Gee and Co., wholesale grocers, &e.
A meeting of creditors had been held, when the statement
showed liabilities, £47,954 (with contingent liabilities,
231,715), of which about £14,000 due to the bank was
secured. The assets were returned at £44,970, showing a
deficiency of £2,984. Under the assignment it was after-
wards' agreed to accept an offer of 10s. net for the entire
estate."

The Cape Copper Company have despatches per
Himalaya. Spectakel report describes continued good
progress in laying open productive ground, and speaks
well of the future prospects of the mine. Return for
June 110 tons.

The directors of the Rathkeale and Newcastle Railway
are inviting tenders for their mortgage debentures,
amounting to £16,000, at 6 per cent., for three years,
which are a first mortgage charge on the undertaking, for
the purpose of paying off the first mortgage loan for that
amount.

The hall-yearly meeting of the Mercantile Bank of
Sydney was held at Sydney on the 15th of July last, when
the report showed a net profit of £17,458 for the year end-
ing June 30, from which a dividend of 10 per cent., and a
bonus of 2 per cent, were declared.

THE FIRE AT FALMOUTH.

The fire at Falmouth yesterday morning was more
serious than was at first supposed. Besides the
great destruction of property one life was lost. The body
of the daughter of Mr. Cooke, butcher, eight years of
age, has been discovered. It was hoped she had escaped,
as Captain Goine having been informed that she was in
her bedroom, rushed through the flames to rescue her
and returned saying she was not there. Insurances were
effected in the General, Sun, and Alliance Offices.

A correspondent of the Dublin Evening Mail telegraphs
that the annual bounty will be paid to the volunteers and
non-commissioned officers of the County Dublin Light
Infantry on the 3rd of next month, and adds the follow-
ing important statement :—" Ere that day comes, in all
probability the full strength of the Irish Militia will be
called out." It will be remembered that the Irish Militia
has not been called out for a considerable length of time,
owing to the disturbed state of Ireland.

ZADKIEL'S ALMANAC for 1871, now ready,
contains THE YEAR OF FATE FOR FRANCE.
Remarkable Prediction at page 48 of Zadkiel's Almanac for
1853 touching the Emperor of the French :—" But let him
rot dream of lasting honours, powers, or prosperity. He
shall found no dynasty ; he shall wear no durable Crown.
But in the midst of deeds of blood and slaughter, with
affrighted Europe trembling beneath the weight of his daring
martial hosts, he descends beneath the heavy hand of Fate ;
and falls to rise no more ; with none to mourn him, none
to inherit his renown, none to record his good deeds, and none
to lament his destruction."

CHAPMAN & CO.'S ENTIRE WHEAT FLOUR.
PROFESSOR ATTFIELD, Analyst to the Royal Pharma-
ceutical Society of Great Britain, reports as follows :---" Its rich-
ness in gluten, or flesh-forming material and phoshates, or bone
and teeth-forming substances, shows it to be a very valuable and
nutritious food, especially for children. It is incomparably
superior to arrowroot, corn-flour, and otherforms of starch, which
contribute but little to the growth o renewal of bone or muscle.

lIE REPUBLIC AT MARSEILLES.

The news of the proclamation of the Republic caused
the greatest excitement in Marseilles. A large and very
heavy zinc statue of the Emperor offered an incentive to
much angry feeling. A young man climbed up the
pedestal and put a rope round the neck of the statue, and
vainly endeavoured to pull it down amid ehouts of " A
"Las la Statue I" At length a strong rope was brought,
fastened round the base, and, after much exertion, the
cause of this commotion fell to the ground. Then shouts
of "A la riviere 1" were raised, and the figure was
dragged through the streets ignominiously and broken in
many pieces. The relics were taken to the middle of the
bridge and cast into the Garonne amidgreat applause. The
crowd then returned and erected a tricolour where the statue
had stood. The removal of the eagles was next carried on
vigorously throughout the city. The employs at the
Post Office assisted in this work. Then the crowd directed
its energies against the equestrian statue of the Emperor
by Debay. It had engraved on the pedestal the famous
words " l'Empire, c'est la paix," words cruelly false
now. The Prefect implored the people to respect this
"work of art," but the Garde Mobile warned the
Prefect that if 'he would not raw down the indignation
of the people upon himself he Rad better let them work
their will on the statue. A little later a formal demand
was addressed to the Prefect for authority to remove from
the Bourse the marble slab which contained the above
words. The Prefect evaded giving a reply, and so the
people took the matter into their own hands, and threw
down the unveracious motto. When the republic was
officially proclaimed at the Hotel de-Ville 20,000 persons
shouted " Vive la R6publique." Some attempt at dis-
turbance was made during the night, but was happily
suppressed.

LAY PREACHING IN PARISH CHURCHES.

An interesting discussion was raised some little
time since, a propos of the question of intercommunion
between the State Church and Nonconformists, as to
the rights of the laity—Dissenting ministers being of
course considered as such—to preach in our churches.
The Dean of Westminster reviewed the whole law
of the case; gave it as his opinion that the laity were
excluded from preaching. by a clause of the
Act of Uniformity; and urged for the
attainment of visible fellowship that that
clause should' be repealed. Since then the
whole question has been asked : what rights have the
laity as regards their churches? Mr. Stephens, the well
known ecclesiastical lawyer has been requested to
give his opinion on the subject. His reply, published
in John Bull of Saturday enters very
.fully into
the law and. authorities on the matter; and concludes
that the incumbents and churchwardens of a church
may legally permit laics to deliver religious ad-
dresses provided that no " common or open" prayers
are said or sung previous to or after the sermon.
Will lay addresses in parish churches now become
the fashion

SUFFRAGAN 13ISIIOPS.

The two English archbishops, after consultation
with the Government and the prelates of both pro-
vinces, have agreed to certain arrangements
respecting suffragan bishops. These dignita-
ries are to have the formal title of " The Bishop
Suffragan of -" Their style is to be "right reve-
rend." Their dignity is to be such as belongs inhe-
rently to the order of bishops, though no place or
precedence is formally assigned to them. Lastly,
" the authority of the aforesaid bishop should be
fully defined by the commission under which he acts,
but no prescribed district should be specially assigned
to him in his commission, the functions of the suffra-
gan having relation not to a part of the diocese,
but to the whole diocese in which he holds his com-
mission."
London, England, 1870-03-07

TITE ARMY ESTIMATES.

The service papers are full of the two great schemes
lately unfolded by the First Lord of the Admiratty
and the War Secretary. On the whole, though they
are not all praise of the details •of the Army and
Navy Estimates, most of these papers seem
to be willing to allow that the country ip
indebted to Mr. Childers and Mr. Cardwell for very
beneficial alterations in their respective departments.
The Army and Navy Gazette, however, says that
Mr. Cardwell's proposal to fuse cornets and ensigns
with lieutenants is one which will entail pecu.
niary loss to a serious extent on the officers,
unless compensation is made for the over-regulation
price of commissions. The payment of this over
regulation price has long been tacitly acknowledged,
and has, for the most part, been the bulk of younger
sons' fortunes. Tho United Service Gazette gives
Mr. Cardwell credit for patriotism, but is con-
vinced that he has begun at the wrong
end. lie has ignored in his arrangements
the unforeseen, than which proverbially nothing
is more certain. Our army is having its
teeth drawn and its claws pared. Instead of reducing
our forces by 12,000 men, which would in itself make
a decent little army, we should have increased it by
20,000 of the unemployed youth of the land. It is
only the rich who cry out for a reduction of their
small burdens. It would be better if those
millionaires who could well afford it were liable to
maintain a regiment at their own expense.
London, England, 1870-03-07

WORKMEN'S TRAINS AND COMPENSATION.

The consciences of the metropolitan companies are
troubling them touching the many working men who
have .been ejected from their homes and driven
to the London suburbs by the railway demo-
litions. The Railway News says that re-
presentatives of the leading companies have
been for some time past in conference with the
Board of Trade on the subject of providing addi-
tional facilities for workmen's trains. It is under-
stood that a maximum limit of compensation, such as
that named by Mr. Bright, £lOO, will be the basis
of this arrangement. It is likewise understood that
the companies are preparing for a general
raid upon the compensation law, with the
view of effecting a change in their favour. This
prospect leads the Saturday Review to pen one of the
most savage articles that ever appeared in that
savage paper. Railway property is less valuable
than it ought to be, owing to the blundering of
directors. "In order to prop up their dividends, the
directors wish to get rid of a liability which the
English law justly throws upon them as com-
mon carriers; and henceforth to have full licence to
maim, smash, and blow up their passengers for a
nominal. consideration. From the moment that
Parliament is weak enough to give them an immunity
never yet claimed by any carrying company, they
will starve their service still further, will issue rules
which they know cannot be obeyed, and censures
which they know will be derided; and, after inflicting
wholesale injury on their wretched passengers, will
snap their fingers at the victims whom they have
mutilated or pauperised, no less than at the public
which they have defied, and the Legislature which
they have bamboozled."
London, England, 1870-03-07

THE REPRESENTATION OF BRISTOL.

The Telegraph, remarks that the continued and serious
illness of Mr. Berkeley has rendered it probable that his
resignation will not be long delayed ; and the people of
Bristol, ever energetic, are already contemplating, in its
most practical form, the prospect of a vacancy, in the re-
presentation of their borough. It is stated that Mr.
Miles, the local Conservative banker, is closely watching
the movements of his adversaries, and that an
application has 'been made to Mr. Odger by some
of the working men of the borough. Now, we
have been foremost in practically proving our desire to
see Mr. Odger returned to Parliament, and we may with-
out fear of contradiction state that those who have active
charge of the interests of the Liberal party would gladly
welcome a favourable opportunity for securing to him the
representation of a Liberal constituency. But it is clear
that this end can be achieved only under circumstances
which forbid division in the ranks of the Liberals, and
offer no inducement to Conservatives eager to seize the
opportunity created by such a division. Mr. Hodgson
and Mr. Robinson, both Liberals, are already
in the field. By a ballot they will settle the question of
their rival claims. Mr. Odger has but to move to the
front, and Mr. Miles will immediately appear on the
scene as the champion of the Conservative cause. Under
these circumstances Mr. Odger, who is certainly desirous
of promoting the political interests of his own side, will
probably see the policy of returning such an answer to his
friends at Bristol as will prove that he sets the
triumph of the Liberal cause in any large borough above
the mere consideratton' of temporary personal advance-
ment.

REORGANISATION OF THE IRISH CHURCH.

An important election will take place in the Irish
Church Convention next Thursday. The trustees of
the Church funds and property, who are to be incor-
porated by Royal Charter, aro to be chosen. They will
be called the Church Representative Body. The Lord
Primate has again urged a greater expedition of
business on the part of the Convention. It appears
that nearly every delegate will have his say on some
subject or other. The Primate has expressed his
opinion that the Convention is drifting on a danger.
lie considers that they are running the great risk of
cooling the English sympathy. If the English people
saw the signs of divergence, they would hold their
hand, and would not meet them with that liberality
and generosity with which they were at present in-
clined to meet them.

ItAILWAY MURDER.

A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette has been
at some pains to ascertain the number of attempts
made during the last two years to upset rail-
way trains. It is reasonable to suppose'
taut some men laudable undertakings would never
be discovered—the engine would remove or "bump"
over the obstacle, but at any rate the instances actually
published and investigated by the police aro 43 in
number. Of these 17 took place in 1868, and 26 in
1869, from which it appears that the crime is on the
increase. Of the 43 recorded cases in the last two
years, 25 are due to England, eight to Scotland, seven
to Ireland, and three to Wales. Out of all these
offences the perpetrators of onlytwo were discovered.
One of these culprits was a discharged railway guard,
who was caught in the act, and who was sent to
penal servitude for life. In the other case, a lad of
thirteen, with some confederates, placed several iron
chairs on the line, and actually ran the train of r,
though no person was injured. It does not generally
happen that loss of life is caused by these horrible
crimes, hilt on several occasions the consequences have
been most lamentable. In England, Stockport, Man-
chester, and Wigan aro the districts where such
attempts are most frequently made.

THE CITY OF BOSTON STEAMER.

The Lords of the Admiralty on Friday wrote to
inform the authorities at Lloyd's that no informa-
tion bad reached them on the subject of
the missing steamer from the captain of her
Majesty's ships Orontes or Captain. A tele-
gram had, however, been sent to the Orontes
at Queenstown, which will probably have the effect

LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1870.

THT:nE is nothing more remarkable in political
annals than the stimulus given to social legislation
by the extension of the franchise. It is but a little
more than a year since the Reformed Parliament was
elected, and already we have had, either produced or
promised for the present session, two education bills,
bills for facilitating the transfer of land, a measure
for recognising and protecting trades unions, and,
by no means the least, a measure for reform-
ing the liquor traffic. It is this last which
is most prominent just now. But it would never
have become prominent if the Reform Bill had not
passed. As long as the £lO borough franchise was
the minimum qualification, the liquor-traders formed
so large a proportion of every constituency that they
were able to exert great pressure upon candidates.

BILLS DEPORT: PAIILIAMENT.

A measure that will relieve to a certain extent the
ratepayers of very poor unions, and cause a more
equal poor-rate -to- tail upon- -the--wealtiiier—ehtss, is
introduced by Mr. Goschen. It provides for the
charging of in-door paupers in workhouses upon
the Metropolitan Common Poor Fund, thus
distributing equally over the metropolis the
burden of the maintenance of such paupers,
as well as of those patients placed by union
authorities in asylums and hospitals. Mr
Lowe intends to lessen the stamp duty on certain
leases, and to otherwise relieve holders of leases by
entirely doing away -with these duties in some
cases. Tho judges of the Superior Courts
at Westminster are to have increased juris-
diction extended •to them by a bill, which
has originated in the House of Lords. The now
Merchant Shipping Code must have been a matter of
much labour to its promoters, Mr. Bright, Mr. Shaw
Lefevre, and Mr. Stansfeld. It consists of thirteen
different parts containing no less than 603 clauses,
and as it provides for many subjects connected with
the alleged deterioration ,of our merchant seamen, it
may be hoped that this bill may prove of benefit to
the British nation.

ABOLITION OF TROY WEIGHT.

The Royal Commissioners appointed to inquire into
the Exchequer standards have issued their third
report. They have, they say, taken the evidence of
several witnesses selected as fairly representing
the class of persons whose interests are
involved in the abolition of Troy weight. The result
of their inquiries is that they have unhesitatingly
come to the conclusion that it will be for the public
advantage to simplify the Imperial system of weights
by abolishing Troy weight by a legislative enact-
ment.

THE LICENSING SYSTEM.

The expected measure on the licensing is exciting
great attention just now. The brewing interest is
active alike in holding meetings and in "interviewing"
high functionaries. The brewers of Yorkshire and the
brewers of Lancashire have formed two associations;
and a deputation from these bodies has just waited upon
Mr. Bruce. The speakers. complained of the applica-
tion by the magistrate of the Wine and Beerhouse
Act of last session ; in Manchester WO persons had
been deprived of their licences, and this they deemed
a great hardship. They requested that the power
of granting and renewing licences should be
entrusted to a barrister, with a court of
appeal consisting of three licensed barris-
ters, the question to be, on application)
suitability of the premises and the respectability or
the applicant only. Licences ought to be charged as
a percentage upon the rateable value as estimated for
the property-tax. The licence, too, ought to attach
to the house, and not to the occupant. Mr. Bruce
of course said nothing in reply, save that his proposals
would be made in the course of a short time.

THE REIGN OF TERROR.

The Irish judges continue their dismal charges in
the Assize towns. In Westmeath Chief Jus-
tico Whiteside said that there had been
three or four cases of murder whilst Her
Majesty's commission was in the county, and yet no
person had been made amenable. Crime had in-
creased, he said, to a groat extent since ho last pre-
sided in the county. Nevertheless, he was confident
that the time would shortly arrive when peace and
order would be restored, though on what grounds he
based that confidence does not appear. In Cavan, Mr.
Justice George said he found the same story that he
found elsewhere : no person in custody, no trial—a
total failure of justice. There were cases of adminis-
tering illegal oaths, and sending threatening letters
and notices. in five cases unlawful oaths had been
administered, and yet no one had been made amenable.
Worse still, there had been no fewer than thirty-five
cases of waiting threatening notices brought under
the attention of the police, and yet there was but
one case for trial. All classes were subjected to the
tyranny of these foul documents.

THE IRISH LAND BILL.

The debate on the second reading of the Irish
Land Bill will probably extend over to-morrow and
Thursday, terminating on Friday night ; and the
committee will enter on its labours certainly not
later than Monday, the 21st inst.

It is said that Mr. Gladstone will make certain
concessions to the dissident Irish members, but
will resist all appeals to extend Ulster tenant right
to the whole of Ireland.

THE CHARGE OF LIBEL AGAINST AN M.P,

It is confidently stated that the charge of libel
against Mr. Hardy, M.P., will not be proceeded
with at the ensuing Stafford Assizes, an amicable
settlement having been effected.

MR. BRIGHT.

The a,counts of Mr. Bright's health are favoturable,
says the Daily News. "The President of th.a Board
of Trade still remains at Norwood, and we are glad to
learn tliat he is making good progress towards
recovery." But hiS ' progress is not so rapid
ai -to hold out any hope of his return to the House
during, the Land hill debates. The measure will in
all probability go up to the Upper House without
assistance from the statesman to whom one large por-
Coil of it is due. .

GOLD IN AMERICA.

Since that terrible gold campaign last autumn
under the auspices of the immortal Fisk, the price of
gold has been gradually declining. On Thursday it
closed in New York at 114 ; but during the day it
had touched so low as 1121, the shortest price
reached since the first year of the war. The occurrence
is regarded, and justly, as a great event in the United
States. The Republicans rejoice greatly. In connection
with this circumstance it may be mentioned that the
committee appointed by Congress have exonerated.
President Grant from all complicity in the specula-
tions of September. His name was mixed up in
those dark intrigues, and direct charges against him
were made by some of the " ring ; but that Fisk
and Co. should perjure themselves is no new thing.
London, England, 1870-03-07

IIONTS DE PIETE.

The pawnbrokers would like a little more profit.
They have prepared a bill introducing a new
schedule of interest, and empowering the trade to ex-
ceed the profits named in this schedule by special
contract. It is further proposed to legalise the con-
fiscation of pawned goods in six months instead of a
year, as at present. The Home Secretary, it is said,
will not oppose the measure, provided it be referred
to a select committee; but the trade find some diffi-
culty in getting members to father this legislative
iufant. This difficulty is not surprising.
What is meant by the "special contract" in
virtue of which pawnbrokers may exceed the profits
named in the schedule ? Does that mean that they
may demand any rate of interest they please from the
many poor wretches who pawn their clothes in order
to buy food for their families whilst their husbands
aro fuddling at the grog shop ?

SUFFRAGAN BISHOPS.

The Daily News says that the Premier, the Lord Chan-
cellor, the two Archbishops and the bishops of both
provinces have been consulting upon the grave question,
what shall be the style, title, and dignity of the new order
of bishops which it has been resolved to call into existence.
The result is an announcement which it may be hoped
will remove all difficulty from so grave and
complicated a subject. The Suffragan Bishop is
to be expressly distinguished as such. " His formal title."
it is stated, " will be the Bishop of —." It would seem
that under this rule it is unnecessary to give the new
doscesan officers a title taken from some imaginary see, as
was done recently when an assistant of the Bishop of
Lincoln was consecrated Bishop of Nottingham. These
regulations appear to be well adapted to the system which it
has been decided to adopt; but they do not remove the
fundamental objection to the appointment of Suffragan
Bishops as a means of providing for the performance of
diocesan duty. It is obvious that the expedient is one
which would never be resorted to if the only concern of
its authors had been to make the episcopate as efficient as
possible, and that it is a device to render the multiplication
of Bishops compatible with the maintenance of the existing
number of spiritual peers. To this supposed necessity
we fear higher interests have been sacrificed.
London, England, 1870-03-07

THE NAVY.

Passing. then to the naval debate of last Monday,
we find the Army and Navy Gazette doing honour
to Mr. Childers's three-hour speech., He spoke to a
most attentive and numerous audience, and ably pour-
trayed the present and future history of our navy.
Tho whole scheme is acknowledged even by political
opponents to be " the most statesmanlike measure
ever introduced on naval matters." It deserves the
credit of being " thorough," no temporary sop, no
mere patchwork, but a sweeping change of undoubted
benefit to the country and to the officers of the fleet.
The United Service Gazette is not quite so ready to
accord its unqualified praise of the measure, and would
prefer Captain Bedford Pim's more effectual plan. It,
however, agrees with its contemporary jßst quoted,
that the patch-work system to which we have been
accustomed is in the present case conspicuous by its
absence. The Broad Arrow desoribes the debate as a
great sea-fight in the House of Common. Nothing
could withstand the great Admiral's heavy metal. At
the first round, bang 'Wont £lOO,OOO. Bang again,
£178,000. Bang, bang, bang, reverberated. the votes,
with at last a tremendous broadside T £300,000.
Mr. Corry's shots took no effect. The Ministry came
unscathed out of the contest, and. the Admiral returns
to port taut and trim as the duke's ship in the
" Tempest,"
