LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordloam) SMETHURST T. TOMLIN—THE WILL OP ISABELLA BAAL& The Queen's Advocate moved for probate of the will, which the court granted without observation. KTRAUBMZEIC r. MOBELL. Sir C. Cromwell delivered judgment in this friendly suit which wars tried last week. The only point in ques tion was whether two papers folded by Lady 31onck in a third, on which wee writing, executed in the form required by the Wills Act, and requesting her husband (Sir C. Mond() to carry out the armogernents set forth, as was supposed, in the inclosures, constituted a good disposition of a sum of 5,01 X f., over which her ladyship had a power of appointment given her under her marriage settlement. The learned Judge was of opinion that there was not a sufficiently clear reference to the inclosed papers to incor porate them with the paper executed, and to make them a will. On the motion of 1)r. Tristram, The court ordered all the costa to be paid out of the estate. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Head.) IN RE ALFRED GERRIT. -LARZI FAILURE IN THE RINI AND err= ?lUDS.

This being the day appointed for the further examination of Mr. Whitehurst, on the charge made by Mr. Rogers, much curiosity was exhibited, and numbers of persons at tended to bear the proceedings, and the court was crowded. Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Abrams and Mr. Smyth, appeared for the prosecution ; a n d M r . G eorge Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, for the defence. . . Mr. Sleigh said it was with great pain that be appeared to press this charge against the prisoner, who had hitherto been regarded as a respectable membe r of society and of the profession to which he belonged. This was a painful duty both for the counsel and the magistrate. He should call two more witnesses, and complete this terribly disgust ing and filthy case. Mr. Lewis wished to put some further questions to Mr. Rogere, which was objected to, but ultimately allowed. Since the hearing here has the charge against the soldier Moms been dismissed? Witness—lt has. That was on last Friday. Were you on that night at a public•house called the Queen and Prince Albert at Knightsbridge? I was in company with some soldiers. There were soldiers in the room. (The question and answer were repeated several times.) Mr. Corrie There is some difficulty in the witness's mind. Mr. Lewis—Were you talkie g to them ? Witness—l spoke to them, bat did not associate with them. By Mr. Sleigh—There is not the least pretence for the imputation that I offered any indecent observations or im proper overtures to the soldier, or to any man in the whole course of my life. I went to the public-house to see a per son to get some evidence for me. There is no foundation for the suggestion that I was associating with soldiers, or went there or left there with them. The case had been dismissed because there was no corroborative testimony. Mr. Sleigh—lt was admitted that he was intoxicated, and, perhaps, his recollection could not be relied on. I hope it will be a lesson—a bitter lesson—for him for life. Sergeant Birch,' of the B division—Ou the 23rd ult. I went to Hyde-park, and there met Mr. Holden. That was where I saw Malcolm for the first time, in the Green-park, near Hyde.park-corner. We saw Mr. Rogers in Piccadilly, and saw him go away with Mal c ol m . I wen t with Mr. Holden to the top of Constitution-bill, and there parted. A few minutes afterwards, after 6 o'clock, I saw the prisoner pan Mr. Rogers several times, walking to and fro, and then speak to him. They walked away together very slowly. They came down Constitution-hill very slowly towards me. I stepped down the passage leading to Grosvenor-place, and they passed and returned. I saw them standing near a place where there were some bushes. I passed them and repassed them, and sew Mr. Rogers holding a letter in his hand and showing it to Mr. Whitehunt. I heard them speaking but did not hear what they said. I then saw them proceed towards the arch. I followed close behind. When they got outside the park under the lamp I saw Mr. Whitehunt with a book in his hand writing something. I have seen it Niece in court—a small book. He gave it back to Mr. Rogers. They then walked to the top of Grosvenor-place. I followed them. They turned round and met me. They stopped close by. I walked up to them. Mr. Rogers said, "Oh, this is the gentleman. I said, "la this the gentleman, Mr. Rogers. that has written the letters to your He said, " Yes." Thedefendant heard that. I said, "Ism a police-sergeant, and I shall take you into custody for soliciting end inciting Mr. Rogers to commit an unnatural offence." He did not make any reply or observation . He never said a wor d. I t3ll him I should take him to the polies-station. When I got him about 30 yards, be said, "Oh, will you let me golf I give you my address in the city, and I will appear at the police -court in the morning I" I said, " Certainly not" Further down Constitution-hill I met the inspector, and told him the charge, and the defendant made no ob servation. I inspected where Malcolm was, but did not exactly know. Mr. Sleigh—How far were you? Far enough not to be observed? You took care of that, and very 'womb% Witness—Yes. I was walking under an umbre smoking a cigar. dioseexamined—Several people passed and repulsed. Had seen Mr. Smyth a few minutes before. Mr. Whiteburstdid not my the charge was untrue, and that be bad given his address. Mr. Rogers said the prisorer had given hie ad dress iu the City. Mr. Rogers tore the address out of the book, and I found that it was correct, Ido not know who employed Malcolm, or whether it was by order or authority of the police. I saw Rogers after we got there. I did not previousl7 . know that 12e was to be there. Inspector Hidden, B division—On last Monday, about 6 o'clock in the evening, accompanied by Sergeant Birch, I went to Constitution-hill After waiting a little while there I saw the prosecutor and the prisoner at the bar come arm in arm together towards some bushes. I saw them atop together. I passed on, and went further down, leaving Birch at a certain place. Some little while after I returned on the opposite side, being the same side as the two parties were standing, and I met the prisoner and Birch together, the prosecutor following them. Birch said, "06, here is the inspector. I have got this person in charge." The prone cuter said, " Yea, I give him in charge." 1 said to Birch, " What for r He said, "For soliciting and inciting this gentleman," pointing to the prosecutor behind, "to commit an unnatural offence." The prisoner then said, "It is a bailable case ; will you take bail for me?" I said, " I have no power here • speak to the officer o n d u t y a t the station we shall take yon to r The prisoner said, "What station am I going to r I said, " Kingetreet, Gardner's-lane." Birch said, "We will go through the park, over the suspensioo-bridge." The prisoner said, "We can't get that way—it is too late—the gates are closed." So we went round Birdcage-walk. Mr. Sleigh—Did he say anything about furthering the ends of justice? Witoesa—No. Mr. Lewis objected to the question. What lie did not say was not evidence. Mr. Corrie thought the question ought not to be put. Mr. Sleigh--Very well, sir. You know why I put it. .Mr. Corrie—No; I don't know anything about it. Mr. Lewis—lt had no business to be introduced. Mr. Holden then produced a piece of paper which he found on the prisoner. Mr. Sleigh did not see that it had any bearing on the case. Cross.examined by Mr. Lewis—l was not asked to take down a charge of libel at the station-house. I heard nothing said about libel. Mr. Sleigh applied for the committal of the defendant. Mr. Lewis said it was now time to offer an explanation which he thought would satisfy the magist ra t e that the case might end here. Mr. Lewis then entered into a long statement, to the effect that defendant had only acted with a view to discover whether the imputations which had been male against Mr. Rogers were well found. Rogers was at the appointment for the purpose of catching Wbiteburst, and Whitehurst for the purpose of catching Rogers. lie could produce many witnesses now present. members of parliament, clergymen, and persons of high standing, to prove his high moral character. lie could also offer some evidence of facts, but if the cue was to be sent for trial he would reserve that. Mr. Sleigh said he should be delighted if evidence of facts could be produced to exculpate Mr. Whitehuret. Mr. Lewis could not do that completely to-day, but would do so if further time were allowed. After some conversation an adjournment for that purpose was agreed on, the prisoner being admitted to bail, in the acne amount u before. WORSHIP-STREET. IRTIEHTERENcE WITH THC POLICL. Ororge Floral, 'ARKS Spencer, James Goodman, and Mora Marshall, were charged before Mr. Cooke with drunken riotous conduct in the public streets at night. and Jame, B•reride, ot Beech-street, Barbican, with interfering and inciting a mob to assault the police while acting in par. sumacs of their dutiaa. The evidence clearly proved the charges against the four first-mentioned defendants, who are persons in an tumble position of life, and had quarrelled among themselves in Pithsld•street, Horton, a locality infested with pickpockets after dark, and especially so whenever there is a crowd. On this occasion three or four constables were empelled to re sort to force after they had been assaulted b the belli gerent., and Mr. Beveridge, it was alleged, provo ked by his gestures end language retaliation, which rendered further violence neceesary in apprehending the offenders. He was, consequently, taken into custody, and now complained of having been locked up in a damp cell, where he had caught a severe cold. Sergeant Collard, N division, said that he must dis tinctly deny the assertion that the cell was damp. It was warmed by a hot-air stove, and Mr. Beveridge had the pri vilege of beinf i clone. Mr. Beveri e repeated his complaint, and declared that he had been to ea into custody most unjustly. All that he did was to express to a friend his disgust at the brutality of the police, and attire to ascertain their numbers. Mr. Cooke observed that the police had a very difficult duty to perform ; assuredly when they exceeded that duty they should be complained of, and the number on their uniform collar afforded facility, and prevented mistake in so doing ; but, with rare exceptions, interference at the time was blameable, and every thinking person must admit it, inasmuch as a crowd of loose and disorderly characters were certain to avail themselves of any remarks uttered by a respectable person, that had a tendency to urge them towards acts against the constables which resulted in the justifiable exerciae of more force. All the defendants were fined in small amounts. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ♦ PICKPOCKET AT THE ILLOYINATION&-ATTEMPT TO 808 A Williant'Johnvon, a ielillf.ierkiug fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : Sergeant Joy, 9C, said—About half-past 9 last night I was in Regent-street, whets I observed the prisoner appa rently engaged in chairing the illuminations. I walked down the street, and before going many yards I found the pfaonet's band in my pocket—(laughter)—l being in plain clothes. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Dil you not feel 'servo= ? (Laughter.) Joy—Oh no, not particularly. (Laughter.) Mr. Ty rwbitt—Of course you called for a constable. Joy—He took nothing out of my pocket, as there woe only a rattle in it. I maw him take a pocket handkerchief out of • person's pocket, and then a pair of gloves from a gentleman in court, and then took him into custody. Prisoaer—Why the handkerchief was only given to me yeaterdaFtsing. Mr. hitt—And by some means got into the per son's poc et. Joy—On taking the prisoner into cestoly he became very violent, and said he would put me under a cab-wheel. He also said the handkerchief was not marked, but it was. Mr. Thos. Richardson, opticitn. of Ely-place, Holborn, identified the pair of gloves as his property. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. SOUTHWARK. SINGULAR MARGE OF ATTEMPTED stucmg. don Brandt, a deceut•looking young woman, was placed at the bar charged with the following singular attempt to commit suicide. Police-constable 125 II said about 9 o'clock be was called into a chemist's shop in the Dover-rued, where he saw the prisoner in avery bad state. She said she had taken poison and it was all over with her. The shopkeeper told him that she came into the shop a few minutes beforeand told him that she was so troubled with the toothache that she requested him to salve her with some laudanum to allay the pain. Having some suspicion from her manner that she intended mischief, he gave her some harmless liquid instead of lau danum, which she seized and swallowed, saying that she had taken some a few minutes before, and now that would do for her. Finding that she began to lose all strength, he sent for witness, who conveyed her to Guy's Hospital, when the stomach-pump was used, and laudanum was ejected. They had to walk her about for nearly an hour before she sufficiently recovered to be removed to the station-house. Witness had since ascertained that the prisoner's father resided in Etham-street, but be had dis cardcd her, and refused to admit her into his house, Her sister was in court, and would give some explanation to his worship. The sister, a very respectable-looking married woman, said she could not account for the prisoner's attempting to destroy herself, unless it was same quarrel with her father. W itness was unable to take care of her, as her husband was lying ill in the hospital. The prisoner admitted taking the laudanum, but said she could not say why she took it, as she bad been drinking all day. The magistrate remanded her for a week, to enable the constable to make some inquiry about her. THE FATAL EXPLOSION OP A LOCOMOTIVE ON THE GEKAT WESTERN RAILWAY. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) This afternoon, Dr. Lankester, coroner for Central Middlesex, opined an inquiry at the Royal Saxon Tavern, Alfred-road, Paddington, into the circumstances of the explosion of the locomotive Perseus. on Saturday last, at the depot of the Great Western Railway, at Padding ton, by which three men, namely, James Wilson. aged 18, John Eldred, 20, and Christopher Thompson, 23, lost their lives. Mr. Gooch, C.F., attended on the part of the railway companv, and produced a model of the engine boiler. The Coroner, on taking his seat, said that he only pro posed to identify the deceased and view the scene of the .... _. _..... occurrence on the present occasion. A juror asked 0 Mr. Gooch had formed any opinion of the real cause of the accident. Mr. Gooch said there was no doubt about the cause. The bottom of the boiler had become thin about the rivets, nod had given way. Anne Haim*, 8, Heatherston.street. Haverstock.hill, said that she was the mother of James Wilson, who was 18 years of age and unmarried. He was a cleaner. Thomas Eldred said that he was father of John Eldred, who was 20 years of age, and was an engine cleaner on the Great Western Railway. Ile was unmarrial. Witness knew nothing of the accident. Evidence was also given as to the identification of Christo pher Thompson. The jury then proceeded to view the exploded locomo tive, which presented a most singular appearance. There were, as explained by Mr. Gooch, 403 tuba; in the body of the engine, and these were sent out on all sides at right angles, and looked not unlike the quills upon • huge porcupine. A portion of the top of the engine of immense weight was torn off and hurled through the roof to • considerable distance. Several yards of the iron girder of the roof of the shed had been lifted off bodily and blown to a great !distance by the force of the explosion. It had alighted on • heap of coals and be come deeply embedded. Indeed the whole roof of the shed, which was of great extent, was more or less shattered. The bodies of the unfortunate deceased presented a most ghastly and horrible appearance. The court was adjourned after the jury had viewed the promisee and bodies of the deceased. MORE FIRES. (THIS DAY.) This morning, shortly before five o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. John Beyhie, licensed victualler and hotel proprie tor, No. 19, Park-street, Grosvenor-square. Plenty of water having been obtained the fire was happily confined to the first and second floors, and slight damage to the bar. The Ices will fall upon the Royal Exchange Fire-office. Another fire took place in the promises of Mr. J. Lewis in Martin-street, Webber-street, Lambeth, caused by a spark flying from a lighted candle amongst some bedding. The occupier was insured in the SlurFiye-offic!. FEARkL DEATH. —A fearful death has just oc curred at Ithoodila Yeley, near Pontypridd, Glamorgan shire. On Su.rday evening, the god inst., a young woman named Jane Lewis left her uncle's house to attend Divine porcine, as WWI her usual custom, at a chapel about a mile d;stant. She was engaged to a young man who attended the same chapel, and who generally accompanied her home. Finding her abent from the evening service he proceeded to her uncle's house, and there found that she had left with the view of going to chapel, and had not been seen since. Inquiries were made, and upon proceeding through a plantation about 100 yards from her uncle's house the body of the young woman was found lying in • pool of blood, her throat being cut in a horrible manner front ear to ear. The body was conveyed to the uncle's house, and upon • further search being made a razor belonging to the servant man was found • short distance from the spot where the body wan discovered. The inquest commenced on Tuesday, but none of the witnesses gave the slightest clue as to whether the horrible deed was done by the young woman herself or whether she had been murdered. It was determined to adjourn the inquest, and since then the servant man ban been taken into custody on suspicion. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OP SOYINAMBUIIS3I AT Hat.trAx.—A use of this kind, very extraordinary in its character, occurred at Halifax Let Friday night. Mr. Whittaker, tailor, St. Jemes's-road, boa a little boy about eleven years old. On Friday night, some time after the little fellow had retired to rest, the attention of Mrs. Whit. taker was arrested by a cry of " Mother." Ou proceeding upstain to the attic, where the lad slept, she WWI almmed at finding he had disappeared : and, by the time she got down again, he was being brought Tutu the house by some of the neighbours. It appears that the boy got up in his sleep, opened the skylight. and ascended the roof, from which he fell into the yard below. Though be fell from an elevation of three stories, he sustained no injury beyond a severe shock to the system, not • single bone being broken. He had been in • delicate state of health for some time pro. viously. THE EASTERN FISHERIIO3.—The herring fishery has been scarcely so successful during the last few day; so far as the Great Yarmouth boats are concerned. The de liveries of fish have not been so large, and the quality is scarcely so good. Fresh fish have sold at from 71. to 111. per hurt, and salted at ato 151. It is feared that the demand, and consequently the price, has been injuriously affected by the falling off in the consumption in Lancashire. The small boats have done rather better than the larger ones. From Loweetoft a much more cheerful report is made. The " half and half " boats have taken 10. 12, 14, and 15 lasts each in a night's catch, and the local market has been completely choked with flab. On one day last week 86 truck loads were despatched from the port by th e Great Eastern Railway, and oe another 330 Lust s , or 4,366,000 fish, we re landed. Prices have ranged from W. to 121. 10a. per last. Titie; tXPEEtss, TUESuAI AVENINO, NOVEMBEit it, 1562. LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE (IT Lamm TstrawiL) HEREFORD ))STING.—(THIS DAY.)

The fire was discovered by • poser by, who observed a strong light over the fanlight of the shop door. He immcdiately gave the alarm, and arouse d the inmates, who had only just retired to rat, but the flames spread with such rapidity that they bad only time to make their escape in their night clothes before the whole of the premises were in one mass of flame. Mounted expresses bad in the meantime been despa.ched for the brigade engines, but before any of them could arrive • powerful engine, kept by subecnption in Camden-row, had been brought to the spot, and with the aid of a plen tiful supply of water had been enabled to confine the fire to the rremises in which it had broken out. By 11 o'clock the brigade engines from the Holborn and Chandosetrcet stations bad arrived, at which time the dames had feat taken hold of the back portion of Mr. Gordon's premises, tobacconist. All hope of saving Mr. Dean's premises being at an end, the firemen directed their attention to the houses on either side, and by hall-past 11 the further prog ress of the flames was arrested.

A converse tins very naturally arose upon the struggle now existing in America, and quite as naturally changed to an argument about negro slavery. The Confederate gentleman strongly defended the institution, and attempted to justify it, mainly on scriptural grounds. His chief opponent wss • Man chester gentleman, who so roused the anger of the other that it became quite uncontrollable. To the amazement of the rest of the company the Southerner seized the Man chester man by the throat, and seemed disposed to settle the argument by strangling him. This of course was not allowed, and they were soon separated. When the Ameri can's temper had cooled • little the Manchester gentleman told him that he appeared to have forgotten that he was not now in a dare state, but in a land where every man was allowed freely to express his opinions, and would be pro tected whilst so doing by the law. He at the same time stated his intention of giving the other into the custody of • policeman for the assault . Upon this intimati on their fellow-passengers again interfered, and it was ultimately arranged that the ' belligerent " Southerner should be excused on payment of a sovereign to the fund for the relief of the distress in the manufacturing districts—a penalty which he willingly consented to pay, when he saw the con sequences to which he had exposed himself by his display of temper. LIFEBOAT SERVICES. —PADBTow, SUNDAY NIOHT. —This morning, in • very heavy sea, and with the wind blowing strong from the west, the sloop Loftus, bound from Plymouth to Padstow, split her mainsail when entering this harbour and was obliged to anchor in Hell Bay. She was discovered in this dangerous position about 3 o'clock, when the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution, stationed at this place, was immediately launched, and pre siisled off to her amistance, and succeeded in rescuing her crew. Very woo afterwards the sloop parted from heranchore, and went on shore. Within the last few years this lifeboat has been the means of rescuing the crews of the following wrecked vessels : Brigantine Gonsalve. of Nantes, 7 ; brig antine Nugget, of Bideford, 5 i sch ooner Haberdine, of Teignmouth, 4 ; Ethooner Frederick William, of Ipswich, 5; and the crew of the sloop Loftus. SUPERABUNDANCE OF MEN.—There is, according to the census, an sloe. of 733,25 R males over females in the United Siete'. This fact is noteworthy and ought to quiet the apprehensions of those who feared and war would cause an undue preponderance of women after peso) was declared.

The prisoners, to the number of 18, who were concerned in the Blackburn riot, were taken before the magistrates yestenlay for identification end examination. They were all shown to have taken part in the riotous pro. medley, and the case against them was adjourned till to-morrow. Blackburn is now perfectly quiet, and no signs of commotion are apparent Faasen Exeuronomsrs IN LONDON.—During the height of the London Exhibition prospectuses were circulated in some of the provinces of the west of France, of a week's excursion to London, with a visit to Paris on the way, the whole for a stated price. As to what was promised to the visitors, the prospectus says :—" On the 15th August arrival in Paris, breakfast and grand dinner at the Hotel du Lou ere, with illuminations and fireworks at night." ' The two last items did not colt the speculataton much, as the 15th August being the Emperor's Me day, they were furnished by the city of Pans. The prospectus continued : —" Arrival in London, splendid breakfast, sumptuous apartments, carriages at the disposal of the company, visits to public buildings, theatres," he. The directors of this plausible scheme were two speculators named Vigneroo and Broglio. A number of dupes were attracted by the an. nounoement, and in due time arrived in London, but there the greatest disappointment awaited them. The sumptuous apartments proved to be but a miserable garret, the breakfasts and dinners were the very reverse of splen did, and all the pleasures which were not like the Mamie. Mims and fireworks at Paris, to be obtained gratis, existed only on the prospectus. One of the excursionists has now summoned the two speculators before the correctional polies of Paris for breach of oontract. and, as they did not appear, they were condemned by default to three months' imprison. moot sod 50fr. fine each. According to late advisee from the Argentine Republic, the inhabitants were turning their attention to the cultivation of cotton on the River Plate provinces. Seed from Georgia and Egypt had been received from England and distributed among the largest landowners. The best results are anticipated. The provinces of Entre Rios and Corrientes are especially expected to rank as the chief cotton districts of that region.

The funds to-day are rather flat, and the im provement of per cent. which occurred on &tar day has not been maintained. The other markets are likewise dull. English railway stocks show a drooping tendency, the principal exception being South Eastern, which continues in demand and is rising. Foreign stocks continue to meet with a good deal of attention. Greek Bonds are in chief favour to-day, while Turkish are rather heavy. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Routes opened at 701 r. 60c., but recovered to 70fr. 70c., being per cent. lower than yesterday. _ Consols are now quoted 931 to 1, cum div., for money, and 921 to 1, ex div., for the account (Dec. 4). The official business report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 931, 4,4, cum div. ; ditto, for account, 921, 1, ex div. ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 911, 1, 92, 911; New Three per Ceuta., 911, 92, 911; Thirty Years' Annuities, 1885, 151 ; 'lndia Five per Cent. Stock, 1091, ; ditto Four per Cent.

"enlaced rupee paper, 1051 ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per Cents., 1121 ; Exchequer Bills, June, lbs., 165., 145., prem. ; ditto March, 17c., 19e. prem. In the foreign stock market the chief inquiries have again been for Greek Bonds, which have attained a fresh rise, having been marked as high as 161 ; the last transaction is at 161. The coupons have participated in the advance. The Turkish Loan of 1854 is quoted 83 to 4, while that of 1858 is rather lower, at 69 to 4, and the scrip of the last loan at to 1 premium. Venezuelan scrip is quoted 1/ to 0/ die, ex div. Russian, 14 to 2 premium, cum div. ; Portuguese, 2/ to prem. ; and Peru vian, 11 to 11 dis. New Granada Bonds are steady- Turkish Consolides have declined to 371 to 4. Transactions are recorded as follows :-Brazilian Five per Cents., 1839 and 1859, 991 ; ditto Four and-a-Half per Cents., 1852, 1858, 1860, 951, 1, ; Buenos Ayres Six per Ceuta., 92, 93 ; Egyp tian Seven perCenta., second issue, 881; Greek Five per Ceuta., 161, 1, 151, 161 ; ditto Coupons, 71, 4, 7, ; Mexican, for account, 331, 1 ; New Granada, ex overdue Coupons and Hectares, 121, 1,1; ditto Deferred, 64 ; Peruvian scrip, 11, 2, ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1862, 461, ; ditto scrip, 21, 1 prem. ; Russian paid-up scrip, 931, ex div. ; Sardinian Five per Cents., for account, 841, 831 ; Spanish Three per Cents., for account, 541, ; ditto Passive, 221; ditto Certificates, 91; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 831, 83 ; ditto 1858, for account, 691, 1, 69 ; ditto 100/. bonds, 741, 734 ; ditto scrip, 4, prem.; ditto paid-up, 684, 4, ; Venezuela Three per Cents., for account, 271, ex div. ; ditto One-and-s-Half per Cents., 134. The shares of the English and Irish Bank are quoted to 1 prem. . . . - - The payments on the recent foreign loans con tinue to occasion periodical draughts on the money market. An instalment of 15 per cent. fell due yesterday on the Russian Loan, less the dividend of 2i per cent-, and the amount previously paid in full. An instalment of 20 per cent. is payable on Friday next on the Peruvian Loan, and on Satur day one of 10 per cent. on the Venezuelan. In the absence of supplies immediately available in the market, 46,0001. in bar gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for transmission to the Con tinent. The arrival is announced, however, of the Roxburgh Castle, from Melbourne, with 264,5001., which is expected to be despatched abroad, as well as the 197,0001. by the Moravian. These remit tances have yet to reach London. The shipments of silver by the outgoing Bombay steamer, the Mora, will be on a larger scale than for a long time past. The total is expected to exceed the enormous sum of 800,0001. Such is the immediate effect of the change In the source of our cotton supply. It is mainly on account of this heavy demand for silver that gold is despatched in such large quantities to the continent to pay for it. The monthly return of the Bank of France will be published on Friday next. The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks will commence to-morrow (" continuation day") and terminate on Friday. Mauritius Government Six per Cent. Debentures for 200,0001. —being the first instalment of a loan of 1,000,000 L, authorised for railway purposes— were disposed of by public tender at the offices of the agents-general for Crown Colonies on Satur day. The tenders received amounted altogether to 1,118,8001. The minimum declared was 1061 and at and above that rate the applications reached 414,9001. The tenders accepted ranged from 1071. 131. to 1081. 3a. &1., and averaged 1071. 14s. 4d. These prices ought to be very satisfactory to the government of the colony. Holders of scrip certificates of the Egyptian go vernment loans are requested to present them to be exchanged for bonds on Monday or Thursday next. The prospectus of the Victoria Hotel Company of Pan (Limited) is iu circulation. The object is to supply a want felt by the numerous members of the well-to-do classes who resort every year to the mild climate of Pan as a winter residence. It ap pears that the existing accommodation is quite in adequate, the number of visitors wintering there having increased from 1,300 in the year 1859-130 to 3,000, last year. The influx is expected hence forward to increase still more rapidly, owing to the railway facilities now presented. It is intended to erect a new building, combining all modern improvements, upon an eligible site commanding a tine view of the Pyrenees. Pending the erection of the new struc ture it is proposed that the company shall carry on business at the Hotel de France, which has been purchased for the purpose. Reference is made to the decided success which has attended the opening of the Hotel du Louvre at Paris. The hotel is to be managed by a resident committee, who will report monthly to the London board. The cost of the new building, including its complete equipment. is to be about 130,0001. The capital is fixed at 140,0001, in 201. shares of which a large number are stated to have be en already applied for in France. Five per cent. interest is to be allowed on the paid up capital during construction. The list of coutributories of the Anglo-Frenck Agricultural Trading Company (Limit ed ) is to be settled in the Bankruptcy Court on the 20tli inst. Tho Ziba has arrived from China with 646,2861bn. of tea. MINES.-(THIS DAY.) Two o'CLoow. The mining market is inactive to-day, with little business.
