MONEY MARKET: CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. '.'here is very little alterati on in the general die eo unt market, which conti.au.es to be well supplied 'with money, and operations, are still reported as low as 21- per cent. The vayments of the dividends now in progress will, i, is presume?, create in creased case. A large supply of gold, viz., £115,000, was pur chased by the Bank authorities yesterday. The Brazilian mail steamer to-day conveyed £5OO in gold. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited no change of importance. Gold is now about 4-1 Oths per cent. cheaper in Paris, and 5-10ths in Hamburg than in London. In the Liverpool Cot',:on Market yesterday there 'was a fair demand, a ad the sales exceeded 6,000 bales, 3,000 of which were for exportation and on sP eculation, prices 'of all descriptions were very CITY NEWS-THIS DAY.

The list comprises the same races as last year, the City and Suburban and the Two Year Old Stakes being the principal items set for decision on the first day, while, on the second, the Metropolitan, the Welter Stakes, and New Two Year Old Stakes will occapy most attention. The City and Suburban is the principal event to be decided. The field will number bteween thirty and forty, and the following are those most likely to put in an appearance : Palestro, Camerino, Sir William, Chere Arnie, Sawcutter, Compiegne, Croagh Patrick, Copernicus, Suburban, Ant werp, Portland, Fitz-Avon, Frailty, Vancouver, Phantom, Adrasta, oby Wild Payrell, out of Vest, fby Stockwell, out of Babetto, c by Newminster out of Grey Hen, Ducat, Real Jam, Tuberose, Earl of Surrey, Lord Stanley, Peahen, Limosina, Victor, Knight of the Bath, Bosh, and Olive Branch. Of theso Palestro, Camerino, and Sir William and Sawcutter are the best of the top weights. Sir Wil liam may still be Mr. Merry's representative, as the Test colt was beaten in his trial. Phantom has had a long rest, and, if John Scott is in earnest, ho should be very near winning, but I do not like patched up horses. Vancouver, from his easy victory in the St. Lis Handicap, should keep all the top weights safe. Ducat, I anticipate, will reverse the Lincoln running by beating Suburban. He has been very " fishy" for the last week, and 2 to 1 was freely laid on Satur day that he did not see the starter. However, he seems to be coming again, and I have no doubt that if he puts in an appearance he will start first favourite, and pull oft the race. Limosina and Olive Branch have been backed for heaps of money, but they can have no chance with the light weighted four-year-olds. The Babette filly will find the company here too good for her ; but still it would not sur prise me to see her run into a pl ace . Th e l o t th a t I expec t to furnish the winner are Ducat, Vancouver, Sawcutter, Suburban, and Phantom. As I said above, if his owner will only let him try, there is nothing to prevent DUCAT being returned as the winner of the City and Suburban. In his absence, I shall pin my faith to VANCOUVER. With regard to the Metropolitan, I can only repeat what I said on Monday that Ducat shall again represent me, the next in my estimation being Panique. Revolver will win the New Two-year-old Stakes ; and if Lord Stamford sends Maid of Honour, her ladyship will pull off the Inkerman Plate. From information I have received from Newmarket no horse could be doing better than Old Calabar, but there are a few good bookmakers who have always money to lay. My advice, therefore, is to let him alone till hia number goes up at the post. The Marquis is very steady in the market, and in all probability will start first favourite, which he is nearly already. Buckstone is now backed freely at 6to 1, and looks like seeing a shorter price. His trainer is very confident, and only considers it a matter of health for his fortunate owner to add another wreath to his laurels by pulling off the blue ribbon of the turf. A FRESH MAN. CHELTENHAM MILITARY AND GRAND AN NUAL STEEPLECHASES.--T The United Hunt Stakes, a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 sovs added, for horses that have never won a public steeplechase.

Black Eagle then dropped further behind, and the other three went on as before. These four got well ever the water jump, after which Bird of Prey took up the running, and carried it on t 6 the last hurdle, where The Flat passed him and won by four lengths.

On arriving at the water jump Gamecock swerved, ran up the course, and was turned back, but did not catch his horses. Wee Willie cleared it about half a length in ad vance of Quicksilver, Broomstick, and Piff Paff following, and, about four lengths from them, Brunette. Shortly afterwards Broomstick and Quicksilver gave way to Piff Paff and Brunette, who overhauled Wee Willie as he ap proached the fence into the winning field, and quitted him at the last hurdle. The two then ran abreast for about 40 yards, when Brunette came away and won in a canter by two lengths, Quicksilver finishing three lengths behind Piff Paff.

Waverley and Lincoln made running alternately until they approached the Stand a second time, when Nimood took second place and followed Waverley over the water jump. The Marryr and Bounce then drew forward, and the former took up the running at the turn. In the field on the far side Martyr had a clear lead, Lincoln and Bounce lying together about five lengths from him ; thus they entered the winning field, where Lincoln went up to the Martyr and appeared to have a chance, but he quickly dropped away and suffered the Martyr to win easily by six lengths. Lincoln's rider stopped his horse rather too sud denly, when Bounce came with a rush and saved his stake by a neck. the Lansdown Plate of 30 soya (handicap), added to a sweepstakes of 3 sovs each. 2 miles.

(Before Mr. Justice Wyldo.) THE ALLEGED FORGERIES ON THE RUSSIAN BANK. Wolff Harwitz, Abraham Josephson, and Chlom Reich berg were indicted for feloniously—without the authority of a certain foreign state, to wit, the state of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias—engraving and making upon certain copper plates, stones, and other mate rials parts of a promissory note for the payment of money in the Russian language, purporting to be the note of the said foreign state. _ _ The present indictment referred to the circumstances which took place in London, where it was alleged that per sons were getting the plates and other materials together. There were also other indictments against the prisoners, in conjunction with others, for certain transactions which are alleged to have taken place at Birmingham. The facts connected with this case have already appeared at length in The Sun during the examination of the pri soner at the Mansion-house. The trial will, it is fully expected, occupy two days. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Williams.) POST• OFFICE PROSECUTION. Alfred Banock, 34, letter sorter, was charged with steal ing a letter containing two half sovereigns and a number of postage stamps. Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted, and Mr. Dickie defended the prisoner. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was en gaged in sorting letters in one of the railway post-offices, and in consequence of certain suspicions a trap letter was sent, and cn the arrival of the train in Lon don the letter was missing. The prisoner was ac cused and searched at the General Post-office, wh en a number of postage stamps were found in his pocket. The stamps were tested, and found to be those which had been enclosed in the letter, as they had all been marked with in visible ink with the word " Trent." _ _ _ The defence was, that some person had put the letter into the pocket of his coat whioh had teen lying in the letter van. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. CHARGE OP MANSLAUGHTER. Two respectably dressed men named James Robert Wil son and Josiah Crown were indicted for causing the death of Mr. John Smith. Mr. David Drover said—l live at 9, Caroline-place, Cam berwell. On the 24th of December I was et the corner of Southampton-street, Camberwell, at about 11 o'clock in the morning. I saw an old gentleman in the act of crossing the read, but ho was standing still in about the centre. I heard a great shouting, and I turned round and saw a gig approaching. The gig was about 40 yards from the old gentleman when 1 first saw it. The two prisoners were in it. Wilson was driving. The horse was going at about 12 miles an hour. When they arrived at about 12 yards from the old gentleman they all but pulled up, and approached at a slower rate, not exceeding seven miles an hour. He stood still, brit the vehicle went over the man. There was plenty of room on tither side of the old gentleman for the gig to have passed. I ran on the road, seized the horse'■ head, but the prisoners had pulled up. As I could not find a policeman, I took them both to the station. They were both very violent that I would not let go the horse's head, They were both drunk. I charged them with being drunk and incapable, and they were locked up. lam used to horses. I have rode and drove for more than 20 years. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine Defendants were driving on the right side of the road when I first saw them. The deceased was crossing over to the off side, and the near wheel was about seven feet from the kerb when the old man was struck. The deceased stood still as soon as he heard the shouting of the defendants. There was time for him to have got out of the way. He was about 40 yards from the gig when he stood still. I have not heard that the defendants had offered the funds of the deceased any amount of compensation. • Mr. W. Twentyman, of Camberwell, gave similar evi dence, but stated that in his opinion Crown was the most intoxicated of the two. A witness proved that the deceased gentleman was neither deaf nor infirm. The surgeon said death was occasioned from the injuries the unfortunate gentleman received in consequence of being run over. Mr. Sergeant Ballantino addressed the jury for the pri soners. After a short deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. POLICE---THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET THIS DAY. AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON AWEMILE.— Owen COX, a tall, dirty labouring man, was charged with the following assault on a female : The complainant said that yesterday evening she was in a tavern in Little Windmill-street, having a baby in her arms, when the prisoner, without the slightest provocation, he being an entire stranger to her, struck her across the arm with a bar of iron, the effect of it being to dislocate her arm. She went to the Middlesex Hospital, and was told to attend again to-day. Caird, 33 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody. Prisoner said he had no questions to ask. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week, for the at tendance of the surgeon from the Middlesex Hospital. MEDICAL AND LAW STUDENTS' AMUSEMENTS.— William Johnson, Augustus Fowler, George Polking home, John Edwards, and William Walker, surgical and law students, were charged with creating a disturbance, and Johnson was further charged with being drunk. Sergeant Fomett, C division, said, at half-past two this morning he saw the defendants altogether outside of Scott's refreshment house, Coventry-street, Fowler had a stick, and was flourishing it about, and dancing and shouting. He requested them to go away, and not make such a noise, when they became more uproarious. He followed them as far as Cranbourn-street, and as they still kept up the noise, he took them into custody. Johnson and Fowler were bailed out. Mr. Knox-1 thought so, for one has a sprig of a flower that don't look as if it had been in the station-house all night. Fornett said that Johnson made use of disgusting lan. guage, and another officer said Johnson kicked his legs and threw him down, and he was very violent all the way to the station. Mr. Knox said he hoped it was their first time of coming, and that it would b 3 their last. The police had behaved with forbearance towards them. Johnson was fined £3 or 14 days, and the others ordered to enter into their recog nisances. THAMES THIS DAY. BATTLE ROYAL WITH THE "GREAT EASTERN."— Ellen Newman, a very large woman, about 27 years of age, and better known as the " Great Eastern," was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with attempting to strangle Caroline Edwards, of No. 1, Bedford-street, Stepney. Tho prisoner has been charged at this court about 100 times with robberies, assaults, drunkenness, and disorderly conduct, and is the terror of the district.. She has been re peatedly committed to prison. Last Wednesday Mr. Woolrych committed her to the House of Correction for 7 days. She came out of prison yesterday morning, and in the evening she repaired to her old haunts in the neighbour hood of Baker-street and Bedford-street, Stepney, a very disorderly place, and soon afterwards quarrelled with two black men and a woman, who dared to call her the Great Eastern. She attacked them with great violence, and they were soon laid sprawling in the mud of Bedford-street. Many came out of their dwellings to see the Great Eastern, and set up a loud yell when they witnessed her prowess. She soon cleared all before her, and Molly Seagrim, the heroine of the battle waged in the churchyard, did not dis play greater activity in defeating her numerous foes than the Great Eastern. Men, women, and children fled with the greatest precipitation, and the Great Eastern remained mistress of the situation, and, looking with contempt at the many she had knocked down, said she was ready for another hundred. One little wretched woman, the complainant, immediately called out, " Well done, Great Eastern," on which the prisoner sprung upon her like a tigress on its prey, grasped her by the throat, and exclaimed, " I will strangle you," and she would doubtless have carried her deadly intentions into effect if a police-constable, named Thomas Venables, No. 141 K, had not opportunely arrived and seized the prisoner. The complainant was then black in the face, her tongue protruding from her mouth, and her eyes starting from their sockets, arising from the powerful compression of her throat, and it was some time before she recovered from the savage attack of the Great Eastern. The marks of the prisoner's fingers were plainly visible on her throat. Venables described the complainant as a very bad and disorderly woman, and that she had no doubt pro voked the prisoner, who was certainly a most dangerous character. Mr. Woolrych—l have seen her very often in the course of the 13 months I have been officiating hero. Tenables—She has been here four times during the last month. The prisoner—That woman called me the " Great Eastern," and I served her out for it. Mr. Woolrych—But you are not to strangle people be cause they call you the " Great Eastern." You aro a most savage and vindictive wowan—a perfect fury. You aro now sentenced to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—The railway and steam packet inquiry department in the International Ex hibition, the intended organisation of which was announced by us a short time since, promises to be a successful under taking, all the leading railway companies in England and Scotland, as well as many of the steam packet companies, having already signified their desire to avail themselves of the agency, and to co-operate with Mr. Edward Page in promoting its efficient working. The public can hardly fail to a ppreciate the advantages of such a department. The convent of the Sisters of Mercy, Belfast, was last week seized by bailiffs fora debt of £2OO.

The following bilis were read a second time :—Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway; British, Piste Glass Com pany ; Dublin and Meath Railway ; and Newcastle (County Down) Railway. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented in favour of an altera tion in the present law of licensing public-houses, and in support of the Metropolitan Local Management Act. THE OYSTER FISIIERY• Mr. CA VE asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the recent decree of the Emperor of the French, which permits sea fishing at all seasons of the year, is in tended to apply to the deep sea oyster fishery ; and, if not, whether he can assign any cause for the exception? Mr. M. GIBSON said that the article in question, which appeared in the lifiniteur, did not apply to the deep sea fishing. That decree merely extended to the French cer tain privileges of which they had been deprived by their own law, and in no way trenched on the convention between France and this country. CLERGY RELIEF BILL. Mr. BOUVERIE, on moving the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, said that the object of the bill was to remedy what was admitted on all hands as an evil. During late years a great number of those who had entered orders in the Church of England had changed their religious opinions, and had thought it their duty to resign their benefices. He referred to the case of such men as Archdeacon Manning, Baptist Noel, and Archdeacon Woodhouse. There was considerable ignorance in the public mind in reference to this subject, and it was not generally known that persons entering holy orders for the Church of England were saturated with oaths of subscription. They were compelled by the Statute of Elizabeth to subscribe to the 39 articles, the oath of supremacy, and the oath of allegiance. It had happened frequently that an alteration took place in the minds of ecclesiastics as well as other persons, and in reference to the Book of Common Prayer they might cease to believe that it contained all that was true, though they had originally , subscribed to that dogma of the Church. He drew atten tion to the fact that the Book of Common Prayer was formed with a view of excluding from the ministry of the Church of England some of the worthiest men of the time. lie contended that clergymen who were desirous of seceding from the Church of England were placed under circumstances of great hardship, because they were not at liberty to become dissenting ministers, as was laid down in the case of Barnes v. Shore. This act of William and Mary was intended to relieve clergymen under such cir cumstances, but it was rendered imperative by other enact ments. A clergyman was prevented from becoming a barrister by the 6th canon of 1603, and in the case of a clergyman whose petition he had presented to the house, the benchers of the Middle Temple had refused him admis sion to their body in accordance with the provisions of that canon. A clergyman could not embrace any other lay occupation without being liable to prosecution in the Ecclesiastical Court, and, on conviction, being sentenced to six months' imprisonment by the act of George 111., passed in 1794. It appeared, however, that clergymen of the Church of England might become priests of the Roman Catholic Church with impunity, which he asserted was a more anomalous state of things. Having adverted to the publication of the "Essays and Reviews," which he con sidered a work of no great ability, but which had the effect of introducing difference of opinion in the minds of members of the Church of England, be said it was a great hardship to compel persons to remain in the ministry of that Church when they desired to bo released from their sacred func tions. The object of this bill was to facilitate the release of persons from such functions, when it was according to their wish to be exempted from them, which, he contended, would promote the purity and prosperity of the Church of England. He was aware that the object which ho proposed by this measure was one of great difficulty and delicacy, and, as he was only desiroi:s of securing proper legislation on this important subject, be aceuld not, if agreable to the house, refuse to refer the bill to a seit:ct committee. (Hear, hear.) He concluded by moving the second reading of the bill. Sir H. HEATHCOTE—who had an amendment on the paper, to the effect that in the event of the bill being read a second time he could move its being referred to a select. committee—said that he would not press that amendment after the concession that had been made the hon. member (Mr. Bouverie). lie contended that the house ought to proceed with great caution before they con sented to an alteration in the Existing law, which affected the inner life of an important religious community. He denied that the hon. member (Mr. Bouverie) had made out any case in support of his argu ment by reference to the writers of the "Essays and he %iews," because these per: ons did not want to be released from their functions, but assumed to themselves to be the Church itself. He considered that the bill would have to undergo great modifications in committee before it satisfied the public mind, or effected the object which it proposed. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M. MILNES considered that an alteration in the existing law was requisite, but that the present bill would net meet the case. He thought that the Church should be empowered to release clergymen from their functions with out branding them with degradation. Lord STANLEY supported the principle of the bill, and and quoted a pamphlet by the Bishop of Exeter, published in 1849, commenting on the hardships of clergymen being coerced to remain in sacred orders in the Church of England, when their opinions had undergone an alteration. He thought it was most desirable, both on the ground of conscience and for the benefit of the Church itself, that such persons should not be retained in the ministry against their inclinations. As the bill was to be referred to a select com mittee, he would not offer it any opposition in its present stage, but he thought it required alteration before it could be efficient in obtaining the object for which it was intended. Mr. WALTER also supported the principle of the bill, on the ground that it was for the benefit of the Church itself. Mon entered holy orders at an early age, and before they had opportunities of mixing with the world and test ing the soundness of their views on religious doctrines, and he considered it would be desirable if the Church en couraged persons to enter the ministry later in life than they did at present. Mr. HUBBARD and Mr. NRIVDEGATE opposed the bill. Sir G, GREY said as it was agreed that the!bill should be referrAl to a select committee, he would not offer it any opposition at present, - The bill was then read a second time, and referred to a select committee. METROPOLITAN LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Clauses 1 to 5 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 6, Mr. A.YRTON complained that the provisions of the bill gave too much judicial authority to the Metropolitan Board of Works in respect to the assessment of taxes, that board being invested with the same power in this respect as jus tices of the peace. He hoped that in regard to this matter the committee would adhere to the principle adopted by the house last session, in conformity with the recommendation of the select committee to whom it had been referred. Ho moved the omission of certain words of the clause. Mr. BRISTOW defended the clause and said that its only object was to simplify the existing law by enabling the Metropolitan Board of Works to carry out their opera tions. After some desultory conversation, in the course of which Mr. BRISTOW stated that a clause similar to this had been fully considered by the select committee before whom all the parties interested were represented by counsel, and which had examined a number of witnesses, The amendment was withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. On clause 7, _ Mr. AYRTON moved, as an amendment, the introduc tion of words to the effect that the basis of assessment of the City of London should be the sewers rate. The amendment was negatived without a division, and the clause was agreed to. Clauses 8 to 14 inclusive were agreed to, On clause 15, Sir J. SHELLEY moved an amendment to the effect that certain words should be introduced in order to secure a more effectual audit on the part of the Board of Works, which was agreed to. The other clauses to 23 were agreed to with some verbal amendments. On clause 24, Mr. A YRTON objected to the powers it con f e rred in the Board of Works of voting large sums of money at a single sitting, and moved an amendment. The clause as amended was agree d to. The clauses to 37 were agred to, ani clause 38 wa s omitted. Clauses to 42 wero also agreed to. calo which of On clause 43, Mr. LOCKE moved the following addition Mr. lo , agreed to, as well as s ome other amendment :—ic At e n; other clause add, and any business which by an Act of Parliament or custom should be done b y any such such certain day as afore vestry on a certain day may be done at an y meeting of convened for the pttrpo se such vestry duly and held within sev en days neat before or after FERMOY, the following was said." The clauses to 67 were agreed to. On the motion of Lord was added to CS, "and s uc h nuisances shall, and each ~ _ surveyor and inspector of 1 them shall have all the powers and authorities for that purpose which by the said at It are vested in such district surveyor ; and in any proceedings taken to recover the penalty under the said 103 d section of the said act, such evidence as may give rise to a probabie presumption that some person passes the night in such rooms or cellar, shall be evidence until the contrary be made to appear that such has been the case." Some other verbal enendments were also agreed to. Clauses up to 86, after several amendments, were disposed of, after which the chairman reported progress, and the house resumed. SMALL :HOUSES EXEMPTION (SCOTLAND BILL.) This bill wag withdrawn on the understanding that it would be introdne,Cd in a different shape. LAND DEBENTURES (IRELAND) BILL.
