TO THE EDITOR OF 7HE SUN.

the letter from Rome, dated March 25/
which appears in your impression of this evening/
the writer describes the cardinals as " attended 14
ecclesiastics with rapiers under their frocks."
This is a gross error. On great days, when car"
dinals appear in state, they are each attended bi
their chaplain and esquire, or gentiluomo. The dress
of the gentiluomo is of the fashion of the English
" Court dress," but entirely black, and with the
addition of a black silk cloak. The gentiluomo is tte
only member of a cardinal's household who wears a
sword.—Your obedient servant, Z.

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is still a tendency towards greater ease in
the general discount market, and the inquiries are
on a smaller scale. Nor is it probable that greater
activity will prevail when at the present juncture
foreign politics are too discouraging to resuscitate
confidence. The rates continue to range at 2,, to
3 per cent., but the facilities offered fail to stimu-
late the inquiry.

At the Bank of England on Saturday there were
no gold operations of importance.
The Africa, from New York, had arrived with
specie to the amount of £2,150.
Ir has been announced that a meeting of the
creditors of Messrs. Christopher, Newton, Brother,
and Co., of 17, Gresham-street West, will be held
at the Guildhall Hotel to-morrow at 1 o'clock.

From the manufacturing districts the accounts for
the past week are in some instances more satisfac-
tory. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and
Huddersfield has shown symptons of improvement,
and moderate operations have been effected in spring
fabrics. At Mancltster, however, there has been
less animation, and owing to the large importations
of cotton at Liverpool prices have shown a farther
slight decline for cloths and yarns. At Leicester
and Nottingham there has been little change to re-
port in the hosiery and lace departments, while in
the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton there has been little change of
importance ; a fair demand, however, still continues
for all descriptions of railway iron and steel.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
have declined to 30 32, and the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds 4, to 91i 22k.

There is a complete panic at the Stock Exchange,
all the markets being in a feverish state—so much
so, indeed, that it is almost impossible to obtain
reliable quotations. They may be said to vary
almost every minute, and such a degree
of excitement has not been witnessed for
a considerable period. Our last prices of
Consols are 1-1- per cent. below those of
Saturday, which were f per cent. under those of
the afternoon before. Heavy sales have been
effected and are still in progress, and considerable
orders to sell have arrived from the Continent. For
a moment telegrams from Berlin of a slightly more
reassuring nature caused a lull, but there is a con-
tinuance of turmoil and confusion. Consols are
about 90 13-16 for money and the account, and
90 15-16 91 1-16 for the May :settlement.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 881
; Bank Stock, 252 253 ; India Stock, 219 ; ditto
5 per Cents., 1091 ; and ditto Enfaced 4 per
Cents., 85.

AU Foreign Bonds are exceedingly depressed.
Italian have receded per cent., to 471 48 I; Mexi-
can f, to 14; 15 ; Spanish Passive it, to 19! 20* ;
Spanish Certificates 1, to 121 13 ; Turkish 5 per
Cents. 28, to 251 26 ; Russian Scrip 14 to 1 dis. to
par ; and Greek I to 13 14.
American Securities are also very depressed.
Erie Shares have fallen 36 37 ; United States 5-20
Bonds 1, to 731 74 ; and Illinois remain at 77 78.
In the Railway Share Market considerable excite-
ment has prevailed, and prices have shown on im-
portant decline in most instances. Midland have
receded 21 ; Metropolitan, 2 ; North Western,
South Eastern, and Lancahire and Yorkshire each
14 ; Great Northern and Great Western each 1,
and Great Eastern, 4.
The Foreign and Colonial lines are also flat
Great Luxembourg have declined 94 ; South Aus-
trian and Lombardo-Venetian to 14i ; East Indian
to 107* ; and Grand Trunk of Canada to 18g.
Bank shares are neglected and the few dealings
reported show a slight decline in values. Chartered
of India, Australia, and China have given way to
151 ; London Joint-Stock to 41 411 ; Bank of
Egypt to 34 ; and Oriental Bank Corporation
to 40 1.
In the Miscellaneous Market there has been very
little activity. Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents.
have declined to 75 80, Credit Foncier of England
to 21 Royal Mail Steam to 94, and Viceroy of
Egypt Mortgage Loan to 71.

POLICE IN Day.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

ROBBERY. —John O'Donnell, a shabbily attired man, who
described himself as a clerk, of no fixed home, was charged
with stealing a plated fish carver, a fork, and spoon, the
property of 31r. Smith, of the Cremona() Branch Tavern,
New Coventry-street.

G. Smith, cook, in the employ of Mr. Smith, said that
about eight o'clock last night he was told there was a man
in the kitchen. On going there he saw the prisoner, who
offered him a penny, and said "Victuals." He told him
that sort of thing was not allowed, and that he had soon
him in the house before on the same errand. While the
prisoner was being shown upstairs, he (witness) noticed
that he had something bulky in his pocket, and asked him
what he had got in it. He replied, "Nothing;" but, not
being satisfied, he put his hand into his pocket, and took
out a fish carver, a fork, and spoon, Mr. Smith's property,
and of the value of 255. The prisoner asked him to let
him go, but ho declined to do so, and gave him into
custody.

Police-constable Henry Forme, 323 A, said that on re-
ceiving the prisoner in custody last night the prisoner
made no answer to the charge, but on the way to the
station he said, "They wanted to have a ' lark' with me
by putting them into my pocket."
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prisoner said he had
nothing to say.
Barnes, the gaoler, said ho believed the prisoner had
been at the Court before, and for felony.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner.
