NONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENOR,

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.
It 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 Manchester, 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 L, to 21i 22i.

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 11 per cent. below those of
Saturday, which were 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.

In the Railway Share Market considerable excite-
ment has prevailed, and prices have shown en
im-
portant decline in most instances. Midland have
receded 24 ; Metropolitan, 2 ; North Western,

14 ; Great Northern and Great Western each 1,

Egypt to 34 ; and Oriental Bank Corporation
to 404.

In the Miscellaneous Market there has been very
little activity. Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents.

THE EASTER MONDAY VOLUNTEER

REVIEW.

On Saturday the auhorities of Dover and Folkestone, in
concurrence with the South-Eastern and London, Chat-
ham, and Dover Railways authorities, issued a programme
of general information as to the arrangements which are to
be made for the transit and accommodation of the volunteers
and the public, and the arrangements, &c., which are to be
provided on the occasion of the forthcoming review, so far
as the local authorities are concerned. Arrangements are
making in conjunction with the quartermasters by local
committees to select places where corps can at once pro-
ceed, on arrival at Dover on the morning of the review, to
obtain refreshment at a moderate and fixed tariff. With
regard to hotel and lodging accommodation, stabling, &c.,
at Dover and Folkestone, the local committee report that
there is ample accommodation for volunteers and visitors,
and the proprietors have been urged to adopt a moderate
and uniform scale of charges. From Hythe, Sandgate,
Deal, Weimer, Sandwich, Ramsgate, Margate, Canterbury,
reports state there is ample accommodation, and the Dover
Railway Company will give every possible facility of transit
On Saturday and Tuesday, the 20th and 23d April, there
is to be prize rifle shooting at Folkestone ; volunteer balls
are to take place in Dover, at the Town-hall and Apollonion,
on Easter Monday night, and at the Town-hall, Folkestone,
on Tuesday night ; with concerts and amateur performances
at Dover on Saturday and Tuesday evenings ; the castle
and fortifications, reading-rooms, Volunteer Institute (to
volunteers free), and military bands to play on the prome-
nades each day, and Waldershare Park, Kearsney Abbey
and Woods thrown open for pie-nicks, audit is stated that by
permission of Government there will be a naval squadron
anchored off Dover, and the whole of the ships and yachts
in the bay will be illuminated on Easter Monday night.
In reference to the railway arrangements the stations
appointed for the departure by South-Eastern route are
Charing-cross and Cannon-street, and by the London,Chat-
ham, and Dover route Victoria and Blackfriars-bridge, and
at Dover, South-Eastern station, and the Dover Harbour
and Dover Priory stations. The hours of departure and re-
turn of trains on Easter Monday are regulated by War-
office instructions, and the volunteer trains are to have
priority over every other traffic. As to fares and regula-
tions with regard to tickets none will be supplied unless
in a printed form, accompanied by the Secretary of State's
permission to attend the review, and none later than 12
o'clock at noon on Wednesday, April 17. Tickets may be
had for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday preceding
the review, and by special trains on Easter Monday, but
tickets issued for Easter Monday are not available for
any previous day. The fares from London or any station
between for volunteers in uniform with arms ls. 6d. ;
from Reading, 2s. 6d. The charge for officers' and troopers'
horses at own risk is 10s.; adjutants' horses free. Cheap
excursions will be organised between Dover, Folkestone
Shorncliffe Camp, Canterbury, &c., and coast town commu-
nication between Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover. Cheap ex-
cursions to Calais and Boulogne and back on Good Friday,
Saturday, and Easter Sunday; but it is announced that the
Inspector-General desires that all who avail themselves
thereof should be attired either entirely as volunteers or as
civilians, and tickets will only be issued in accordance with
this regulation. The public railway express trains will run
on Easter Monday from Charing-cross and Cannon-street
at 7.55 and 9.55 a.m., and from Victoria and Ludgate-hill
at 7.25 a.m. The volunteer trains on that day will be
timed by the War-office authorities. Volunteer luggage
allowed-1201bs. for officers, and 601bs. for privates.
The War-office authorities are making preparations not
only as to the site of the ground at Dover upon which the
evolutions are to take place, but as to the plan of the move-
ments, in which it is now understood that some four or five
thousand regulars as well as the volunteers aro to take part
With this object Colonel Erskine, the Inspector-General of
Volunteers, and other members of his staff, visited Dover
a few days ago, and rode over the ground on which the
Castle-hill forts are situate, where it is proposed the review
shall take place, and having made a minute inspection,
passed along the whole of the sea frontage of the town with
a view to arrange as to the rendezvous of the different
battalions of volunteers on the morning of Easter Monday,
prior to marching off to the review ground. Col. Erskine
and the party afterwards visited the " Lord Warden"
Hotel, where they met Mr. Knight, of the South-Eastern,
and Mr. Martin, Mr. Mills, and other authorities cf the
London, Chatham, and Dover Railways, and the arrange-
ments for conveying the volunteers to and from London
and other parts on the morning and evening of the review
were agreed upon.

It is understood that an application has been made to the
Secretary of State for War to permit the annual review of
the Kent volunteers, to the number of 4,000 or 5,000, to
take place in conjunction with the Easter Monday review at
Dover, instead of having, as usual, a special day devoted to
that purpose, but it is doubtful if such authority will be
given. A great many of the Kent battalions will, however,
be present as individual corps on the occasion of the general
rev iew.

A meeting of Vice-Presidents of the Conference
on the Licensing System was held on Saturday
Y
afternoon at the Earl of Shaftesbur residence, in Gros-
venor-square. It was attended by the Earl of Shaftes-
bury, the Earl of Harrowby, Mr. W. E. Forster, M.P., Mr.
Ayrton, M.P., Colonel Sykes, M.P., Mr. Akro d, M.P, Y
Archbishop Manning, Sir John Bowring, Mr. Robert'

Mr. Hugh Owen, and the Secretary, Mr. C. Ribton

were discussed, and it was resolved that the Earl of Shaftes-
bury, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Lichfield, and
Lord Lyttelton should be requested to consider the expe-
diency of introducing a bill into the House of Loris, with
reference to the opinions expressed by the vice-president.
ANOTHER QUESTION FOR MR. WALPOLE.—It is
satisfactory to learn that, in the matter of jurymen,
Glocestershiro is a more rational county than Berkshire.
The unprotected male traveller will take some little coin-
fort from reading that a certain young woman, one Eliza-
beth Gay, has been sentenced to six months' hard labour
for swearing falsely that she had been outraged by a fel-
low-traveller in an omnibus, at Bristol, last February. She
swore that the crime was committed during the short time
that the omnibus was driving 236 yards and down hill;
and, as in Toomer's case, there was nothing but the unsup-
ported evidence of the two parties concerned to help justice
to a decision. Fortunately for the accused— who is a young
man—the magistrate before whom the case was brought
refused to believe the complainant, although she was a
woman, and a young woman, and, moreover, a married
woman. But since then corroborative evidence turned up,
and an action for perjury became possible. Tho prosecu-
trix, who seems to have relied on the absence of the con-
ductor, had never noticed that a boy was standing upon
the step of the omnibus at the very time that she swore
that she was criminally assaulted, and the boy having con-
tradicted her story, a conviction for perjury was pressed
for, and the jurors not being Reading men, brought in a
verdict of " Guilty." Now what will Mr. Walpole do in
the matter ? 'Will he let off this hopeful criminal from a
portion of her six months' hard labour, on the ground that
she is a young woman and may possibly become the mother
of a family ? It is impossible to foresee. As to those
who have nothing but common sense to guide them, they
will ask what is to be said for a condition of the English
law which assigns only six months' hard labour as the
punishment for imputing to an innocent man a crime for
which, if she had been believed, he might have been sen-
tenced to fifteen years of penal servitude. Surely there
are degrees in the guilt of perjury; and next to false
swearing away a man's life, which is simply murder in ono
of its most aggravated forms, it can scarcely be more
atrocious than when its aim is totally to destroy a man's
reputation, and to inflict on him the punishment which is
r3served for the worst crimes short of actual murder.—
