Inthe discount market to-day the demand was moderate, About £12,000 in sovereigns were taken from the Bank to-day for Amcrica. The railway market is flat, owing to 4 falling off in the traffic, It is stated that the Bank of France has experienced a further drain of gold to the amount of £300,000 or £400,000 eince the publica- tion of the monthly roturn on Friday last. They aro understood, however, to have purchased about £160,400 of gold in Germany. The Bavk of Engiana’s rato of discount at present is far in advance of the terms of the principal continental oities. Transactions can be effected on Paris at 534 @ 6 per cent, Brussols 5, Hamburg, Frank- fort and Amsterdam 3. The Times deprocates the seceasion movement. The Southern confederation would become the real United Btates, as far as territory present and prospective ts con- corned.

All that has been said about the substitution of shipe of otber countries for those of France is pure invention, as well as the non-recognition of the blockade of Gacta, whether by Russia or Spain.

Mr. hite, the aliquar dealer, having a store in Lewis street and residing in Madison street. On Sunday evening, January 12, Whito was informed at his resi- dence that his barkeeper bad been arrested and taken to the Fleventh ward station house. White thea went to his store and found the defendant Church there, who told bim that the barkeeper was in the sta- tion hovse. He then went to the station house for the of getting the keys of his store and ascertain- ‘why his barkeoper was arrested. Captain Squires Was silting in the station house reading a nowspapor, and the defendant (Church) said to Capt. Squires, «This fs the man who owns the store where the burkeeper was arrested:”’ upon whith Capt. Squires said, “IC he is the ‘owner of the store be is the person that should be locked up, and not the barkeoper,” and ordered the plaintut to ‘de locked up, and he was locked up from seven o'clock Sunday evening until eight o’olock on Monday, and con. ‘fined in a cell in the station house without warrant. On Monday morning Mr. Whito was marched to Hssex Market Police Court, with several prisoners; and Justice Steers having heard the complaint, decided that no offence had Deen committed by Mr. White, and told the officer that he had po authority to arrest him, and dismissed the complaint. ‘This setion wae commenced by warrant under the act Of 1813, and both defendants were arrested by the Sheriff and brought ipto the Marine Court, whereupon Mr. A.

Judgment for p'aintifl for $260, with ovts. sien of Rarey’s Farewell Leeture tn Brooklyn. © TBE ACADEMY OF MUBIO AGAIN FILLED—A HORSE THAT COULD NOT ENDURE AN UMBRELLA CURED— SUBJUGATION OF A KICKER, ETC. | On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Rarey delivered his last leo- ture in Brooklyn in illustration of his system of breaking | | Qnd training wild and vicious horses. As the entortain- j ment commenced at three o’clock, when business was at | its height, it was not to be expected that the audience would be so large as on the two previous occasions; still, the Academy of Music was comfortably filled. The au- dience was rather more select than before, sumbering | among them a much iargor proportion of ladies, whilat tho most admirable order was maintained throughout. | Atthreo o'clock Mr. Rarey appeared om the stage, | within the enclosure, and offered bis accustomed intro- ductory remarks on bis system, finishing with the intro. duction of Cruiser, whose docility he exnibited, to the admiration of the audience. He next introduced, in ac- cordance with bis usual programme, &® quiet horse, of very cark iron gray color, with a light gray face, inclin- ing to white. The animal was of rather slender propor- tions, and well shaped. With him Mr. Rarey wont through the regular routine of strapping, bringing him down on the knees, laying him on the side, raising him ‘on all tours, &c,, finishing off with beating a drum on his Dack, which the'ircn gray, with all his dooility, however, did pot sem to relish much. ‘The next horse introduced was a large chestnut. Ho was quiet enough, but nervous, with a pecullar aversion to an open umbrella. Before futroauoing the horse, Mr. Rarey rvad a letter from his owner, Mr. uel Moore, of. No. 12 Wcat street, Now York, stating the horge’s peculiari- ty, which was 0 deeply rooted as to cause him to run away with the wagon he was put todraw. Mr. Moore said | he had endeavored to cure him, but without effect, and | if Mr. Rarcy could teach him to overcome his repug! | toan Cr Bi, writer) would be willing to say he could subjugate any hore. ‘rhe chesnut was then led out upon the by i i Mr, Raey, tu order to test him, opened an umbrella in his face, upon which ho #hieu and in such & man- per as to cause the 8 in tho ‘@ & entertain | serious apprehousions that he was about to leap in among Die of doing. Mr. Rarey mn closed the umbrella and brought it cautiously within reach of the horse's nose. fle smelt to it it and examined | if curiously, and half fearfully with his upper lip. Mr. Rarey then rubbed his head with it, then which gradually subsided as the conviction bim that the umbrella was harmless. Mr. half opened the umbrella, ana ‘a8 before, with similar resus. He then opened it wide, and hold it in @ inverted position, urat on the horse’s back, and grad- ually brought it forward over bis neck and head, till ho placed it before bis eyes. At the sight, how- ever,” tho chestnut shrunk back, but Mr. . Ra- rey gonairtod in holding it in front of thoug! ho did not seem to like it. He did not, however, make such abrupt attempts to got away from the object of his aversion as when it was abruptly hela betore his ey<6 at first. ‘The first part of the lesson over, Mr. Rarey proceeded to fasten the straps on the horse with the view to bis more complete subjugation. After getting him down on bis side twice, Mr. Rarey again showed him the oleged umbrella, ‘This revived his rage, a plunge und raiseo himselfcn his 28. sight only enraged bim the more, and he plunged more furiously than ever, but only to become the more con- vinced of Lis utter helplessness, and to be induced tw lie downonce more, Agaiv was the umbretla shown him and again he mani‘ested the eame aversion towards it, but Mr. Rarey persisted, avd at last had the satisfaction of being permitted to hold the umbrella over the head of the rettive animal. Mr. Rarcy then drew the umbrella in an inveree position all ever him, but the horse had already cried peccari, as piaioly aa a horse could speak, and submitted to the indignity quietly. The umbrella ‘was bow opened ond shut vivlently and in rapid succes- sion ip the horse's face, but without the least symptom of equine remoustrance on his part, and the audi- ence burst into a roar of laughter’as Mr. Rarey mounted bim, with the umbrella wide open over his beat, while the horse lay crouched quietly on, the atraw.. In Order to show that the cure, for the present at least, was complete, Mr. Rarey raised the horse on all fours, mounted bimand Keli tho ambrella over hie head, with the game quiet resu't as before. Mr. Rarey then explain- ed the reasou why thé horse appeared subdued. He eaid he was satisfied that the object at which he had formerly manifested alarm could do him no harm. He further said he would be willing for any person to bring the worst seararow in the world before a -neryous horse, and he would undertake to cure Dum of hiw fright, #0 long w& the object could not inflict positive pain. He then informed the audience that he had outside‘ vicious kicking horse, which he was about to introduce. He was greeted with loud applause as he retired. The Shetland ponies were next exhibited, with the usual explavations, causing much amusement among tho audience especially at the observation that he knew not how much smaller the breed might become if taken still further north than the Shetland Isles and awarded with scantier fare. While the preceding part of the illuetrated lecture was going on, an occasional angry squeal would be heard be- hind the sceves, suggestive of certain vicious pioces of horseflesh being in ciose proximity, and on the retirement of the ponies a bay mare was led out, which Mr. Rarey informed the audience bad not been shod for four y oars, avd that it was believed that tho legs of the antmal coi not be handled. This seemed to be founded on fact, every time Mr. Rarvy offered to touch her she gave & equeal, suggestive of the highly interesting intorviow be- tween Moroo’s wild beasts and Dagebert’s mare, as de- seribed by Engene Sue in bia “Wandering Jew.” Bat ber temper soon gave way before the superior intelli- gence of the boree tamer. In the twinkling of a bed post the two straps were on, and the bay mare was laying helpless on her sido, 4 | _Mr. Rarey bere observed that ho had often been asked, after a similar trial, whether a horse was sufficioutly | broke. He considered the question absurd, for it could not be expected that a horse could be completely tamed in the fifst lesson, but sufficiont could be taught him to let bim understand that mau was his master. He be- lieved! that though he should be abseat from Cruiser for any length of time, be would recognise and obey him. The real advantage of his system was, that under it a horse could be tanght no vice. Was it reasonable to suppose that a horse that had been subdued by rough breaking, and had been taught to kick, rum away, and practice other bad habita would do his work as well as one that had been broke quietly within © week. Tho horse, if properly treated, could be taught jurt as a bey was taught his jessons. He had heard that other persons said they bad broken horses by his system before him, and that they could co so by other processes. He had ‘no objection to their doing 80, All he would say was ho believed his system was the very best. The horse was tho most uso- ful of animals, but it was the most abused of all, Ho bo- lieved, however, that his ill-treatment was moro the result of ignorance than of cruelty, and that if better methods of treating him were known he would be treated accordingly It was his last lecture in Brooklyn, ard he begged to thank the audience for the attention they bad displayed. Mr. Rarey then bowed and retired, and the exhibition closed. The Great Rarey Suit. TO THE EPITOR OF THE HERALD. St:—From the commencemont of my career as tho in trodacer of a suecessful new system of teaching the horse, Thave been constantly beset by imitators of every grade, claiming to be the originators of tho system I teach and to bave taught me all I know about horse-taming. Nu- merous challenges for & contest of akill have been offered me and threats of exposure made if I did not accept them, and tantalizing olfers of bets to draw me into contests with them that they might reap some notoriety there- from. Having repeatedly experienced this sort of thing in Europe for three years past, and repelled so many at- tempts to levy black mail, I am not surprised to find like attempts on my return to my native country. The Inst case of this kind te that reforred to in the papors this morning. A peron from the South clamming the modest sum of $100,000 damages for an alleged breach of comtract between himself as teacher, and me as pupil. Tho first man who over bridied of drove o horse might as reasonably claim damages for my ent of his system of horse taming. I wish to » for all, that, as regards any alleged infringo ment of any man’s rights or violation of coutract, [ am prepared to show, at any the, before any court, that my ekiil in the management of the borse, aud knowledge of bis nature, have been acquired only by a lifetime of assi duous labor and study; that, at the risk of life and at the expense of broken limbs, I Nave worked up to its present degree of perfection my aystem of horsemanship. Phis is 48 much mine awd my right aa ever was the right of man to anything gained by long and honest labor. | will not answer any more attacks on my reputation, but will endeavor, by a stiaightforward practice of my skill, to Prove its efticacy and benoit to the world Respectfully, JOHN 8.

Police Intelligence. Scsriaow or Bene « Hore Tary.—On Tuesday even- ing Mr. Robert P. Walker, a guest at tho Stevens’ House, had occasion to go to his room, when he was surprised to find it already occupied by one who was an uttor stranger to him. As soon as Mr. Walker made his appearance at the door the stranger bolted out of the room, and pro- ceeded down stairs in a very ipitate manner. Mr. Walker suspected at once that the fellow was a thief, and immediately started in pursuit. The stranger was over- hauled at the foot of the staircase, and handed over to the custody of policeman MoGuire, of the Broadway squad, who happened to be passiug at the time, The prisoner was identified by the clerk of the hotel as one of the lodgors, who registered his name as ‘‘ William Gale, Buston, Mass. ,’’ and who had been si ing at the piace for a cape of days.

CONSULAR ACTION LIABLE TO BE REVIEWED BY FOREIGN Pu WERS, A case has recently been decided in tho Sapromo Court at Bombay which is of some general imerest, and of cepecial intercst to seamen. The American ship Ganymede, from London, arrived at Bombay tn a disabled state, was sold by Capt Bramhall, the master, and three months’ extra wages of the officers and crew paid by him to Mr. Luther L. Hatfield, United States Consul, two-thirds of which money to be paid, as the act of Congress di- reets, to or for the seamen whoa they ombarked for the United States. James Bailey, first officer of the Gany- mede, brought suit against the Consul for his share of the oxtra wages, im the court for the trial of small causes, al- loging that he intended to lesve for the United States, and the Consul contending that he had taken passage for Calcutta, The suit was decided in favor of the plaintiff, and was appealed to the Supreme Court, at Bombay, before Sir M. R. Sauase, C. J., and 8. J. Arnould, P. J., on the ground that the lower court hud no Jurisdiction to try the case, the defendant being an American Consul, and recoiviog the money in a Consu- lar capacity, and therefore amenable only to his owa government. The case was most ably argued. Ou the one side it was held that Consula were subject to the jurisdiction of the country in which they resided, and were not privil like Ambassadors, On ‘the othor hand, that when and how tho extra wages shouid be paid to the reamen was @ point to bo decided by the 1, 80- cording to the laws of his country upon the subject; ‘that the question whether scamen complied with the necessary. conditions waa # matter for the Consul to decide; and that if he erred it was the United States, and not the Fombay Small Canses Court, which was to overhaul hia decinion. In tho deotaion of tho caso the Chicf-Justico sald that in the ion of the Court the Congul could not ciaim ex- ern frum jorisdiction, and therefore the was discharged, but, as ip the opinion of the Court, oane on ita merits showld bave been decided in favor ef the de- fendant, the rule was discharged without coste. Ho heged Hitigation would now cease. fo thia decision, Mr. Justice Arnonid added the remark that if the Coneul, tustead of pleading “Ihave not re- eoived any money except it my consular capacity,” had jed “1 have not received any money for James ley, but only for tho United States,” it would have been a good anewer in tho action.

Money is very abundant, but the range of names which pass is quite limit- ed, No paper eonnected with the Southern trade is easy of sale; collections continue to be impos- sible, and notwithstanding the more active moye- ment of cotton, the indebtedness of the South is not materially redmoed. Foreign exchange is very dull, and quotations are barely maintained. We are still sending $1,000,000 or so per week, in bullion, to New Orleans, for the purchase of bills; but since the secession of Louisiana this move- ment will probably be checked. The best bills are quoted at New Orleans at 105. ‘The stock market is dull, though without any stook offering, and consequently without any de- cline in prices. This morning there was a general advance of about % per cent in the railroad shares and in State stocks, but Pacific Mail de- clined three per cent on the strength of the rumor alluded to in this morning's Heracp, and Tennessee sixes declined 34 on the the disunion developements in that State. This afternoon the market was quiet, and stocks closed Steady, the following being the qnotations:— United States 6’s 1874, 93 a 94; Virginia. 6's, 75% a 76; Tennessee 6’s, 73% 074; Missouri 6’, 65% 2.69; Canton, 15 a 16; Cumberland Coal preferred, | 8% 09; Pacific Mail, 8434 a °4; New York Cen- tral, 80% a 24; Erie, 36% a 37; Hudson River, 45a 14; Harlem, 16 a 14; do. preferred, 389% ; Read- ing, 45% a %; Michigan Central, 58 a %4; Michi- gan Southern and Northern Indiana, 154 %; do. guaranteed, 33% a 34; Panama, 11314 @ 114%; Lli- noia Ceatral, 79°4 a 80; Galena and Chicago, 72% | a %; Cleveland and Toledo, 34% a 35; Chicago | ‘and Rock Island, 68% a %; Chicago, Burlington and Quincey, 73% & 76. We have reason to believe that negotiations are on foot which may lead to the establishmont of steam communication between"Norfolk, Virginia, and Europe, via New York. The establishment of a direct line of steamers between Norfolk and Liverpool or Havre has often been suggested, but various obstacles always prevented the acoom- plisbment of the scheme. It is believed that by calling at New York on the way the most formida- ble obstacle may be surmounted; and another ob- jeotion which has always been urged with marked effect—the want of traffic—is in a great measure removed by the completion of the Virginia and Tenncasee Railway, with its connections to Mem- phis. A steam line from Norfolk, running in con- nection with this railroad, would give to the peo- ple of the border slave States and to the people of the Mississippi Valley what they have always ardently desived—-an ocean ser- vice of their own. Not only Virginia and Tennessee, but New Orleans, Natchez, Vicks- burg on the south, and all the towns as far north as St. Louis on the other side, would, if such a line were established, import their goods in its ships direct from Europe, and in retarn would send their produce out to Europe by the same route. The completion of the unfinished link of road be- tween Covington and the Ohio river would feed the line with a share of the produce of the West aswell. But the Southern traffic alone ought to suffice, in course of time, for the support of the enterprise. We submit that this is a scheme which deserves, and ought to obtain, the support of Congress. No time should be lost in granting a mail contract to the now iine; and, in view of the novelty of the enterprise and the difficulties with which it will have to contend at the start, i would not be extravagant to grant a subsidy—in the shape of mail pay—of $25,000 a round trip. |_‘Mhe establishment of such a line would work a revolution in Virginia and Tennessce such as the people of those States can hardly realize. The agents of the various trunk railroad lines are vigorously competing with each other for the transportation of cotton from the South to various Northern ports. Contracts are being made by the Baltimore and Ohio, the Pennsylvania, the Erie and the New York Central roads. We learn to-day that an agent of the Grand Trunk line of Canada is about proceeding to New Orleans and Memphis to contract for the transportation of cot- ton to Liverpool, via Cairo, Chicago and"Quebec. If this secession business lasts, the trade of the Northern ports this summer will be unprecedent- edly large. The leading marine insurance companies have advanced the rate of insuragce from seceding ports from 13{ to 2% per cent. The Adriatic Fire Insurance Company has de- clared a dividend of four per cent, payable on de- mand. ‘The following is Neill Brethers’ statement of the movements of cotton for the last week and since the Ist of September last, compared with the five preceding yeais:— ——- Receipts. ———. —Erports for Past Week. — Past Week.

Large receipt are therefore to bo expected for sume time. The deliveries at New Or- leans this week almoat equal the largest on record—being 113,000 bales, againet 119,000 the largest previous week. Deliveries on this seale, should they contimie, bannot fail to influence crop views, aud we already fad more dispo- sition to rely upon the highor estimates, Opinion, how. ever, ia still divided as to the quantity that will roach the ports, but this point will depend mainly upon tho course to bo pursued by the coming adtuinistration, Should a pacific settioment of our diffeulties be accom: plished, there will be nothing to interfere with the mar- keting Of the crop, and in that case we should look for the result being near 4,000,000 bales. The question of future cultivation also depends upon the same course of events. It is yet premature to anticipate any great ro- duction of planting in the coming spring.
