He now applied for his order of discharge, which was opposed on two grounds, vexatious defence to the action of the assignee, and rash and hazard ous speculation. It did not appear to the court that the defence was vexatious ; and had the action proceeded it might have been successful. The second objection cer tainly could not be urged by th e ass i gnee , who had himself been the instrument of making those speculations, which he now characterised as rash and hazardous.

A gathering, comprising representatives of almost every political party and religious body in the borough, took place yesterday, in Leeds. The company, who had been invited for the purpose of congratulating Mr. Thos. Harvey upon the result of his recent mission to Jamaica, were addressed by that gentleman, who gave an account of the state of that island ; by Mr. Forster, M.P., and by Mr. C. S. Roundel], secretary to the Jamaica Com mission. Mr. Forster entered fully into questions relating to Jamaica and its government, and attributedths post con dition of the island toeless legislation and bad management. In the course of his speech the hon. gentleman said that " he was still unable to agree with some of his friends in thinking that • prosecution ought to be instituted against Mr. Eyre, though he would not for one moment blame those who thought it their duty to join in such • prosecution." After an inquiry which has extended over 35 days, the labours of the Lancaster Election Commission were brought to a close yesterday. A more scandalous system of bribery than that disclosed during this investi gation has seldom been brought to light. It would appear that at the last election 1,371 persons recorded their votes , and it has been distinctly proved that of that number something like 900 were bribed in one form or another. ihterfem in the ADA, (Before Mr. Baron Pigott.)

Ors o'ow= The directors of the Bank of England have made no alteration in the rate of discount to-day, although the quotation in the general market is to below the official Iltinitri ' , tit, in consequence of the superabundance of money seeking employment, and the small supply of bills offering. There was no general expectation that a change would be announced to day, but a reduction to 3 per cent, next week is looked for, notwithstanding a slight revival in the demand for gold for exportation to the continent, arising from the drooping tendency of the foreign exchanges. The amount now in the vaults of the Bank, however, is very large, and it is probable that a considerable portion of the 1300,te01- on the way to England from Australia will be sent into that establishment. The stock markets are flat, and the general ten dency of prices is downwards. It would appear that many of the recent purchases were effected in anticipation of the payment of the dividends, and now, upon the realisa tion of that event, sales are pressed with a view to secure profits. Consols and some of the foreign bonds have experienced a fresh decline of per cent. English railway securi ties are jto lower, owing to the unfavourable returns issued by some of the principal companies. These, however, might reasonably have been expected, in consequence of the general check to traffic by the severe snow-storm of last week. The monthly settlement in the funds is now being com pleted. Consols are now quoted 901 to 91, ex div., for money, and 90 15-16 to 91 1-16, or P 1 exactly, ex div., for the February amount. Turkish bonds of 1865 are fiat, and have de clined # per cent. Spanish Certificates, Italian of 1861, and Russian scrip are likewise # lower. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 514 to 54i, ex div. ; ditto of 1865, 311 to 32 ; Greek, 14!, to j ; Spanish Passive, 211 to ; ditto Certificates, 141 to # ; Italian of 1861, 521 to 53, ex div. ; Mexi can, 171 to 18 ; and Russian Scrip, 11 to prem. United States 5-20 Bonds have improved per cent.—viz., to 72# to 3 ; but Erie Railway shares are 1 worse, the present price being 441 to 45. Illinois Central are quoted 80} to 81, being steady. International Financial shares are quoted 24 to 24 die. ; London Financial, 164 to 104 die. ; General Credit, 14 to 14 die., ex all ; Credit Foncier, 51 to 4 dis. ; National Discount, 91 to prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 161 to 4, ex div. The report of the directors of the City Discount Company, to be submitted to the shareholders at the meeting convened for the Ist of February, states the not profit for the six months at 4,2641., and recommends the payment of a dividend of 2s. lid. per share, being at the rate of rather more than 10 per cent. per annum. As against the draught upon their reserve caused by the release of the dividends, the Bank have an important set-off, through the repayment to them ,yesterday and in the next few days of the loans made to the discount establishments and others during the last fortnight of the old year. The ' increase in the advances on " other " securities shown in the last published return, it will be re membered, was as much as 2,575,247/., but would probably have been considerably less had it not been for the objectionable practice prevalent amongst too many of the joint stock banks of prac tically suspending fresh loan business during the last week or two preceding the date for making up their aocounts. Their object in acting thus is of course to show the largest possible amount of cash in hand, and the effect is to drive an undue pro portion of the current business of the market to the Bank of England. It is probable that nearly the whole of the above-mentioned sum of 2,575,247/. will this week be repayable to the Bank, the general market having, so to speak, had the , benefit of the money in advance of the payment of the dividends. It is obvious, however, that just in proportion as the dividend money it by these means drawn back into the Bank, the reserve of that establishment must be strengthened. In considering the prospects of the money market, moreover, at a time when the foreign exchanges and the bullion movement are so favourable, we must not lose sight of the impending diffusion of large sums of money through the declaration of dividends on the estates of failed companies. Thus, a few days ago, 800,000/. was distributed from the estate of Overend, Gurney, and Co. ; about Mon day next some 720,000/. is to be paid to the creditors of the Agra and Masterman's Bank ; and it was intimated on Tuesday that the liquidator of the Commercial Bank Corporation of India and the East is about to ask the Court of Chancery to sanction the declaration of a dividend of Gs. sd. in the pound early next month. These payments throw into circulation • vast amount of money hitherto stored up in various banking depositories. The drawing of bonds of the Danubian Princi palities Loan took place yesterday. Lists for leaving these bonds and the coupons due the Ist March (separately) can be had on application after the Ist February. - About 6,000/. in bar gold was bought by the Bank yesterday. The operations of the week have been unimportant, comprising the influx of 12,000!., and the withdrawal of 28,000/. - • • The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 996/ over last year ; the Midland, a decrease of 3,0311. the Great Western, a decrease of 5,47 t)./. ; the Great Northern, a decrease of 6991. ; and the Great Eastern, a decrease of 1,069/.

After leaving Troutbeck, the mow and wind became so bewildering that the two wan dered fully • mileand a half out of their proper tr.., a, and were found providentially by some shepherds just as one of the pedestrians fell exhausted and benumbed with cold. A few yards ahead was • deep ravine snowed over. One of the young gentlemen carried a flask of whisky, hut this froze in his pocket. Eventually, by the shepherds' direc tion., Ambleside was reached, and the two had the pies sure of landing at Brown's Hotel, instead of at the bottom of a ravine on Wendell. Next day they mustered cou rage to cross the Raise Gan on foot to Keswick. MARE lacaND.—A Californian paper gives an account of the island on which is situated the navy yard at San Francisco. Mare Island contains about 7AO acres of land—one-third of which is occupied with the improve ments, the remainder is cultivated. The vessels now at the yard are the monitors Monadnock and Casuanche, and the sloops of war St. Mary's and Cyane. The number of men now employed will reach 500. The actual expenses approximate*, 150,000 dole. per month, which is about equally divided is the purchase of material, and in the payment of labour. Commodore T. T. Craven, the com mandant of the yard. although politically reticent ordi narily, is said to favour the congressional policy of recon struction.
