MO h 3IABKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Money Market is assuming a firmer appear ance, owing to an increased demand for accommo dation. The augmented inquiry does not arise from the r; quirements of the mercantile community, but is attt ihutable to the extensive payments made on Leh lf of the New Turkish loan and the Revenue collectior Very little business is now negotiated in the th::st securities under 2g g per cent., and in creased firmness is not considered improbable. The total amount of stock applied for in the New Turkish Loan up to the close of business yesterday afternoon nearly approached £24,000,000, and extensive subEcriptions are still received at the Bank of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co. About £24,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The half-yearly eividend on Turkish 6 per Cent. Bonds of the loan of 1854 will be paid on and after the 10th prox. Continued quietude prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but priees were firmly supported. The sales were 2,500 bales. The proprietors of the Great Luxembourg Rail- Way Company held their meeting to-day, when it Was stated that, after deducting from the net revenue of the railway and canal the sum of £62,715 16s. to meet the interest and reimbursement of the obliga tions, there will remain a balance of £34,036 15s. 9 d. The directors proposed in consequence to de clare a dividend of Bf. 121 c., or 6s. 6d,, per share, leaving a balance of £1,931 Os. 3d., which was agreed to. Of this sum, it is proposed to apply £1,200 to the reserve fund and the remainder to the credit of the revenue of the current year. During the past week there has been a large amount of business transacted in American Securi ties, and prices generally have shown a decided Improvement. Messrs. E. F. Satterthwaite and Co. in their weekly circular, state that—" We have had, during the past week, a very active market in London for American securities, and considerable t ransactions have taken place without any marked variations in quotations. United States Five per Cent. and Virginia Six per Cent. are, however, from 3 to 1 per cent. better. Erie Shares have been largely dealt in from 33 to 334. Erie Preferred are in demand at an advance of 1 to 2 per cent. The weakest stock on the list has been Illinois, Thos e shares show a tendency to droop, notwith- Standing the report for 1861 shows the concern has been self supporting in that year. The first three months' working of the year appears certain to compare unfavourably with the corresponding period of last year, but probably the opening of a portion of the hitherto sealed Southern States may give a different result for the remainder of this sear. The demand for Atlantic and Great Western Bonds continues; they close firm at 64, with few offerin " ti • Business in the market for English Securities has continued dull, and very little fluctuation has taken 'Place. There is rather a heavy tone, although the quotations are firmer than they were early in the 4 aY. Consols are now 93-'4' for money, and 931 for t he 10th proximo. The New Threes and the Re duced are 924- 1 ; Exchequer Bills, 16s. to 19s. p r im. ; India Stock is 2251, and the 5 per Cents. 4081 . The dealings in the Foreign Market, to-day, h ave been of an average character, but prices con tinued depressed. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 83t 841; ditto, 1858, 711 t. Mexican are steady at 341;• and Moorish Scrip firm at 6 prem., but Spanish have receded to 53 - 7, , ; ditto Deferred to 43 ; ditto Passive to 18Z- ; ditto Certificates to 62- I. 13razilian 41 per Cents. 92. The Ottoman (Mires) Loan is 651 1, and the ew Loan Scrip 21 prem. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up 1 0 this day, are in round figures as under :-- 1862. 1861.

This was a suit instituted by George Thomas John, Marquis of Westmeath, for dissolution of marriage from his wife on the ground of her adultery with the co-respondent. There was not any answer to the citation by either the re. spoudent or the co-respondent. The damages were laid at £7,000. Dr. Deane and Mr. Turner appeared for the petitioner. Dr. Deane, in opening the case, said the parties wore married on the Bth February, 1858, at the Church of All Saints, St. John's Wood, The respondent's maiden name was Maria Jarvis, and thoughapersonof very humble posi tion in society, she was possessrd of great personal attrac tions and winning disposition. At the time of the mar riage a liberal provision was made for the lady by th 3 marquis. There was, however, disparity of age; but, notwithstanding this, they lived very happily together until July and August. Lady Westmeath went to Dieppe, where she made the acquaintance of Mr. Chapman, the son of the British Consul at that place. Mr. Chapman, from that time, became a constant visitor of the Marquis and Marchioness, until 1861, when Lady West meath, with the consent of her husband, left town with the intention of going to IMatlock, but to that place she never went ; instead of which she proceeded to the Victoria Park Hotel, near Sheffield, where, for about 18 days, the lady and the co-respondent lived as man and wife. After this Mr. Chapman took apartments in Chester-terrace, Eaton square, representing that he had been privately married, and as he did not wish the circumstance known, his wife would occasionally visit him. He should prove that the respondent visited Mr. Chapman frequently, and remained with him as lais wife, and thus establish, beyond doubt, the allegations in the petition. The learned gentleman then called the following wit nesses : Ellen James said—ln the month of March, 1860, I en tered the service of Lord and Lady Westmeath as house. maid, at 14, Queen's Gardens, Bayswater. I afterwards became lady's maid after I had been there three weeks. In July, 1860, I went to Dieppe with Lady Westmeath. Miss Caroline Cox accompanied us. She is since dead. We first went to the Royal Hotel. At Dieppe Lady Westmeath became acquainted with Mr. Chapman, the British Consul. He had a son. I had previously seen the gentleman. Mr. Chapman's son frequently visited Lady Westmeath at Dieppe. While we wore at the place Lord Westmeath joined us. He stayed a week. We left on the 13th of September. We left Mr. Chapman there. I next saw Mr. Chapman, sen, on the 23d of January. I accom panied Lady Westmeath to the Edgware -road. In May, 1861, Lady Westmeath was about to proceed to Matlock for the benefit of her health. No direction was on our luggage. I accompanied her, but instead of Mat lock we went to Sheffield, and then proceeded to the Atlas Steelwork, where we met Mr. George Chapman, and he accompanied us to the Royal Hotel. We stayed there on e night. Lady Westmeath slep t t here one night. I slept with her. The next day we went to the Victoria Park Hotel, about two miles from Sheffield. Mr. Chapman came there. He occupied two bedrooms and a sitting room. I occupied one bed room, and Lady Westmeath and y did so the whole Westmeath told me me. not of t t h o l‘rel say iEaCheaan anythingp w m eremo th ra e einlse o ed th m. e r r . . Lcah T day h v e man would stab When we were at the Victoria we went to Matlock for letters. After we left the Victoria we went to town to 14, Queen's-gardens, Bayswater, his lordship's house. Mr. Chapman remained at Sheffield. I next saw Mr. Chapman in the middle of September, at 6, Chester -terrace, Eton square. I accompanied Lady Westmeath to that house. She went every day. I left her there sometimes, and called for her according as I got directions. I sometimes went the following day for her, as she had remained there all night. I used to take clothes to her while we were at the Victoria. Lady Westmeath went by the name of Mrs. Chapman. Lord Westmeath was in the habit of going out of town to see his relations. He had some friends at Sand gate. While he was absent on one occasion I went with Lady Westmeath to Chester Terrace. Lady Westmeath gave me a letter directed to Mr. Chapman. I gave it to his lordship. The letter was here read, and was follows : "Sunday night. " I have not been able to leave my bed to-day, darlingeet pet. I could hardly breathe, and could not hold up m y head five minutes together. Nothing but inability to move should have kept me here this evening. " Fidger is talking of go i n g out of town to-morrow, I hardly like asking to remain at home, my beloved, and yet there is a probability o f b e i n g able to see you and spend the evening. " If I can possibly get away I promise you that my cold shall be no obstacle, for what is health and life to me, if they are not to be spent with thee. "I feel very low-spirited to-night. Almost wish that the chapter of my eventful life was drawing to a close. Now, my sweet one, I must say good night, for E. is holding the candle by my bedside. Dearest, one do not wait at home if there is any necessity for you to go out, or if you wish it, for I can very well await your return, even if I am fortunate enough to get out for the afternoon or evening. " Blissful dreams, darling. God bless you. CIIICRIE. " G. E. Chapman, Esq., 6, Chester-terrace, Eaton-square, S.W." Mr. Law said—l keep the Victoria Hotel, Sheffield. On the 11th of May a gentleman, giving the name of Chap man, :engaged two bedrooms and a sitting-room. The parties arrived soon after; they remained 18 days. During the time they remained at the hotel they visited the Botani cal Gardens, and entered their names in the book as Mr. and Mrs. Chapman. The person who has just given her evidence was with them. The witness Ellen James was then called, and proved the entry to be in the handwriting of Lady Westmeath. Mr. Shelley said—l lived at 6, Chester-terrace. I knowiMr. George Edward Chapman, the co-respondent. Ilet him two rooms, a sitting and bedroom, in January, 1861. He told me he had been privately married, and that his wife would occasionally come to see him. A lady after wards came and visited him. He left and returned in Sep tember and November. During both periods the lady came very frequently. She passed the night in my house, and slept in Mr. Chapman's bedroom. This was the case for the petitioner. The Judge Ordinary briefly summgd up the evidence. The jury, after a very short deliberation, were of opinion. that the respondent had committed adultery with Mr. Chapman, and assessed the damages at £5OO. The Court decreed a rule nisi. 71 i SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Griffiths.) ♦ PAINFUL SCENE BETWEEN TWO BR 0 ERS ..-DAMM V. DAMM. This was an action to recover the value of some articles alleged to be detained by the defendant. Remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The parties in this suit are brothers, the plaintiff having formerly been in the service of the defendant, and a ques tion arose as to a watch and gun which plaintiff said he had pledged and given the proceeds to defendant. Mr. Buchanan, for the defendant, cross-examined the plaintiff as to his position before he came over from Ger many, and His Honour observed that it was extremely painful to see brothers in such a position. Plaintiff called a witness, who deposed to having seen the money given to the defendant. Mr. Buchanan called defendant, who admitted having the tickets for the pledged property, but, great feeling being displayed on each side, denied having received the money. His Honour said that defendant had no right to detain the tickets, and, therefore, plaintiff would have a verdict. SELLING A BUSINESS-...NOVEL POINT-ESROELL V. TAYLOR.

ROBBERY AT LORD LYVEDEN's Swing.... David l . Lewis, second coachman to Lord Lyveden; Rohn Allen, a cab proprietor of Old Burlington Mews; and Edward I Harry, a lad in the employ of Allen, were charged, Lewis with stealing, and the others with receiving some hay, the property of Lord Lyveden, of Saville -row. Francis Allwood, 186 C, said about half-past 12 last night he was in the Burlington Mews when Lewis called him across, being at the time in a hayloft over some stables. Lewis said. " Here," at the same time throw ing a piece of meat down. He (Allwood) caught it, and asked what it was for, when Lewis replied, "Go on, it's all right." He thought it looked suspicious, but went on for about 40 yards, and then, hearing some thing drop, turned round and saw a truss of hay on the ground, just under the loft. Having waited a short time, he saw the prisoner Harry come across from Allen's stable, and take the truss of hay into his master's stable. He (witness) then knocked the coachman at Lewis's up, and he said no hay should have been taken from the stable. He then went to Lewis, who was in bed, and denied taking any hay out of the stable, but on his telling him that he had seen him throw a truss of hay out of the loft, he said that he had taken it to Allen, who was a cab proprietor in the same mews. He then went to Allen, who said he had no hay in his stable, and that he knew nothing about it. He (witness) however, had seen Allen in his stable a few minutes before. Sergeant Lindsey, 21 C, corroborated Allwood, and said there was only one truss of hay in Allen's stable, and four or five horses. George Haminond, coachman to Lord Lyveden, said Lewis was the second coachman. He (witness) saw the place locked up about 12, and Lewis go into his room, as he supposed to bed. He could not tell how many trusses of hay had been taken, as he had no' suspicion of anything of the kind, Lewis had been two years in his lordship's employ. Allen said he knew nothing of how the hal , got into his stable, and was quite innocent of the charge. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners for trial, but bail for Allen was taken. UTTERING A FORGED BANK- NOTE.—Henri De Four, a Frenchman, was charged with uttering a forged £5 Bank of England note with intent to defraud Mr. Thomas Anthony Hodges, bootmaker, 316, Oxford-street. Mr. Albert interpreted in the case. The prisoner tendered the note—a well executed one—in payment for a pair of boots. On its being detected, and a witness speaking to a constable, the prisoner made off.

Lambs, the supply of which was somewhat extensive, sold slowly, at from 6s 8d to 7s 4d per Sibs. About 250 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. Calves declined 4d per 81bs, with a heavy trade. Pigs and tailch cows were dull and drooping. The depressed state of the trade must bo attributed to the large quantities of meat on offer in Newgato and Leadenhall.

THE LASH AT DOVER.—On Saturday morning the troops in garrison at the castle and the citadel were drawn up on the parade ground at the Western Heights Barracks, to witness the infliction of 50 lashes upon an in corrigible fellow, named Havard, belonging to the sth com pany of the 64th, who had been found guilty on no less than six counts by a court-martial. The fellow (who has been twice previously summarily punished) received his third whipping with comparative indifference, and at the 50th lash sarcastically inquired if they could not give him a few more. He is to be further imprisoned for 168 days. As he was removed he reiterated threats against his commanding officer. The sentries at the various approaches to the scene of punishment rigidly enforced orders, and prevented the presence of any civilians, amongst whom so unusual au event has created some uonsiderable sensation.

The house then went into committee on this bill. On clause 1 being read, which provides for the compil ing an index to the election lists of the different parishes, Mr. LOCKE KING moved, as an amendment, that each index should only be regarded in boroughs comprising more than six parishes, as in boroughs comprising less than six parishes, and having only six lists, a voter could have no difficulty or inconvenience in ascertaining without an index whether or not his name was on the register. The borough of Manchester contained only one parish, consequently there was no use for an index there.

OGitVIE postponed the second reading of thi s bill till that day fortnight. CHANCERY REGIST RA7ION . BILL. o a f s the On the order of the day being read for going into com mittee on this bill, EL w WY d N h o o pp t o o sed tak t e he aw m a e y asur from e on th i e ts judges mer i t s , effeMr. S ct of it would Court of Chancery that discretion which they have been hitherto in the practice of exercising as to the manner in which justice should be administered in their own courts. I t would give an advantage to the plaintiff in a cause which the defendant could not take advantage of, while it would fetter the action of the judges of the Court of Chancery, and would give rise to much inconvenience as well as expense. Should the bill be passed, the effect of it would be either to compel them to increase the number of the judges of the Court of Chancery, or to return to the old system of Masters, or to the still more objectionable one of delay. Mr. HADFIELD approved of the principle of tho mea sure, but was of opinion that they ought to establish the existing rules or regulations, which prohibited barristers at-law and attorneys and solicitors to practice in the Court of Chancery ; and at the proper time he should move an amendment to that effect. Mr. ROLT defended the measure, contending that it would prevent suitors being handed from court to court, as they were at present. It would take away none of the dis cretion decreed by the judges of the Court of Chancery, as they would still have the discretion of sending questions of fact to be tried in another court, if they saw it would be: a saving of ex p enses, b ut as he considered that that discretion having been already tried and found wanting, they should nr)w impose on the judges of the Court of Chancery the trial of all cases which came within the particular jurisdiction, either by jury or otherwise, and he did not think that the trial of cases by such means would be detrimental to the carrying on of the other business of the Court. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he had several ob jections to the measure as it stood, but as these would be obviated by an amendment which he had prepared and would propose at the proper time, he had no objections to the bill going into committee. Mr. M ALIN S considered that the measure would bring about a great improvement in the practice of the Court of Chancery, and he should cordially support the motion for going into committee. Mr. WALPOLE said his opinion of the question was, that while he agreed to the principle of the measure he considered that the amendment to be proposed by the Soli citor-General would in a great degree neutralise its effect, and he thought it would be better to leave matters as they stood, unless they were prepared to take away all discretion from the Equity Judges, and leave them to try cases in all the stages and issues which properly came within their jurisdiction. Sir FITZROY KELLY considered the measure a. valuable and important one, and hoped no further obstacle would be put to going into committee. The SPEAKER then left the chair, and the house went into committee on the bill. On clause 1, Mr. HADFIELD moved an addition to the effect that all sergeants and barristers-at-law, and all attorneys-at law and solicitors should, from and after the passing of this Act, be entitled to practise in the Court of Chancery, not withstanding any rule or regulation to the contrary, and. that the said sergeants and barristers-of-law should have respectively the same rank and precedence as they were now entitled to. Mr. It OLT said the amendment was unnecessary, as there was no rule or regulation which prevented any of the par ties referred to from going into and practicing in the courts of equity. The amendment was accordingly withdrawn, and clauso 1 was agreed to. On clause 2, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL proposed as an amend ment that it be left to the discretion of the Judges in Equi y to send questions of fact for trial before the courts of law should they consider that they could be tried there with greater advantage to the parties. Mr. ROLT opposed the amendment, as it interfered materially with the principles of the bill. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL explained that the olject of his amendment was simply to create a uniformity of practice between jury trials in eases originating in courts of equity and those arising in courts of law. In the latter jury cases are tried at the assizes or at London or West minster, as was most convenient, and all that he wanted to do by his amendment was to place jury trials arising out of cases in the Court of Equity under the same system. Sir H. CAIRNS and Mr. MALINS supported the amend ment, which was agreed to without a division, and ordered to be added to the clause. Mr. HADFIELD next moved the followingamendment : —" That the Lord High Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, or one of the Lords Justices, or one of the Vice- Chanzellors of the said Court, shall be empowered to pre side at the trial of any such issue, if it shall be deemed ex pedient to do so, or the justice of the ease shall require it, or render it advisable." The amendment was however negatived without a sion, and the claim as amended was ordered to stand part of the bin. - The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and tho house having resumed the bill was reported with amend ments. SMOKE NUISANCES (METROPOLIS) ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to ba com mittal this day week. WHIPPING (No. 2) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 1, Mr. STANLEY moved an amendment intending to abolish the system of administering punishment by the cat, and providing that whipping should only be administered with a birch rod. The amendment was agreed to, as was also another to the effect that in Scotland no offender for theft or for crime committed against the person or against property, under 16 years of age, be whipped more than once. Mr. BLACK moved an addition to the clause in effect, that in cases where the punishment of whipping was in flicted, the offender should not also be imprisoned for the same offence. --- Dir. HADFIELD opposed the amendment, on the ground that it neutralised the effect of 64 clauses in the act of last year. ... _ Afte - r some discussion the amendment was withdrawn. The clause as amended was then agreed to, when the house resumed, and the chairman reported the bill as amended. TURNPIKE TOLLS EXEMPTION (SCOTLAND) BILL.

Major C. BRUCE objected to the measure, as he was opposed to all exemptions. Mr. DUNLOP explained that the object of the measure a simply was to allow c l ergymen of all denominations to go bou their pastoral duties in their respective districts free of toll. Let them do away with the exemptions as to parish ministers, and then there would be no compl a i n t ; but as there seemed no intention of doing that, he would press his Pleasure.
