MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. At Paris the demand for money is easy, at 31 per cent., or y below the rate of the Bank of France. At Frankfort, the quotation has advanced to 3. At Vienna and Turin the rate is 5 ; at Hamburg, 41, at Amsterdam, 4; and at Berlin and Brussels, 3 per cent. The bills due to-day—the 4th —appear to have been very well met. The demand at the Bank of England and in the discount market generally was only moderate_ Choice paper was taken at 2? to 2i per cent. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Routes opened at 68.35, and closed firmly at 68.40 for money, and 68.45 for the account, being -1 per cent. higher than yesterday.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.) BERNANY. BERN XX, GOUDGE, TURNER, AND O'FLAHERTY. This was a petition presented by the husband, praying for a divorce on the ground of adultery committed by the wife vvi h the co-respondents. For a short time after the marriage they lived very com fortably, but eventually it was discovered by the petitioner that his wife had fallen into habits of drunkenness. The hus band, anxious to reclaim his wife, went to other apartments, but after some months the landlord gave petitioner notice to quit on account of the drunken habits of the respondent. It was during the time the parties lived in these apartments, one of the co-respondents, Goudge, who used to come to clean the windows, the adultery was committed while the husband was engaged out of doors at his employment. One of the witnesses said she had seen the respondent in such a state of drunkenness that Goudge had been compelled to assist to undress her in order to get her into bed. The co respondent Turner was a publican, and he, it was alleged, committed the adultery with respondent in her apartments in St. Ann's-court, Soho, where she was discovered on the bed with her clothes all disarranged, Turner being alone with her in the room. The witnesses also proved a similar offence with Flaherty. The case for the petitioner having closed, and no wit nesses being produced for the defence, Mr. Mills, Q.C., addressed the jury for the petitioner. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) POLICE-THIS DAY. ETHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY. A meeting of this society was held on Tuesday, J. Crawford, Esq., president, in the chair, wh en five papers were read. 1. "On Human Remains found in the Shell Mounds of the Malay Peninsula." By Professor Huxley. The author states he had examined the bones, but they were in a too fragmentary state to admit of any decisive conclusions being drawn. 2. " On human remains from Muskham, in the Valley of the Trent, and from Heathery Burn Cave, near Stanhope, in Weardale." By S. S. Mackie, F.G.S. The Trent, or Muskham skull, was found in making a new channel for the river during the construction of the Great Northern Railway, at a depth of 25 feet, under loam, clay, and silt, asso ciated with bones of Bos primigenins, Bos loreffrons, Irish elk, and other mamtnalia. It possesses very peculiar characters, and belongs to an extinct and pre-historic race of men. Its most remarkable fea ture is the unusual direction of the plane of the foramez magnum, or cavity in the skull, in which the vertebral column fits. The direction of this plane, indicating an approach in a very, remote degree to the forward setting of the head on the gorilla and chimpanzee, leading therefore to the inference that the individual to whom it belonged was possibly not completely erect in his carriage. The author did not think, however, that any race character should be positively drawn from a single specimen, as such a character might be accidental. The other human remains and relics described con sisted of various bones of limbs, vertebrae, &c., and portions of several skulls with bronze, bone, and jet articles, fragments of charcoal, shells of oysters, muscles, limpets, bones split for their marrow, and pottery found in a cave exposed by some quarry ing operations at Heathery Burn, in Durham, The human bones belonged to the same singular pre-historic race of men of which examples have been met with by geologists widelydistributed over the British Islands. The bronze relics were those of the so-called " Bronze Period," and were at least 2,000 years old. The pottery was identical with that of the same age from the Swiss Lakes. 3. "On the wild Veddahs of Ceylon." By J. Bailey, Esq., B.A. Early in 1854 the author was appointed to the charge of the extensive district of Badulla, which comprises, besides the ancient Kandyau Province of Ouvah, that portion of the island where the most barbarous Veddah tribes are found. Under these circumstances he ac cumulated much curious and valuable in formation. The term Veddah or Weddah in itself indicates no particular race. In this sense a great portion of the population of the eastern parts of Ceylon appear at some period or another to have been so called. There are still extensive districts known as " Weddirata," or the country of the Veddahs, the inhabitants of which—although they are, owing to the remoteness of their situation, less civilised than the bulk of the people of the island—are not Veddahs but Singalese, in kindred, religion, and custom, It is the " wilder sort" of Veddahs, as Knox calls them, who roam about Nilgala, of whom the author desired to place on record an accurate description. In appearance, the Veddahs differ materially from the Singalese. They are smaller in every respect, and darker in complexion, short, slightly built, and active. The tallest Veddah the author ever saw was five feet three inches—the shortest, four feet one inch. Their cloth is the most scanty conceivable, a scrap of dirty cloth not bigger than a sheet of letter-paper being a full-dress suit for male or female. Neither sex is remarkable for personal cleanliness, and with their rugged unkempt locks half-obscuring their features, the Veddahs realise the idea of the most barbarous of savages. 4. "Descriptive Notices of Original Drawings taken at Sierra Leone and the Gold Coast between 1848 and 1859." By Mrs. Clarke. 5. " On the Influence of Climate and of Hybri dity, or the Commingling of Nations over the vari ous Races of Men." By Dr. Robert Knox. The object of this paper was, first, to support views brought forward many years ago by the author in respect of the supposed influence of climate over th© physical and moral nature of mankind; and, secondly, to prove by an appeal to history the theories he then offered on the (acts of the com mingling of races. in the discussion which fol lowed Mr. Evan, Mr. Cator Blake, Mr. Mackie, Dr Macgowan, Mr. Luke Burke, Mr. Prideaux, Dr. Hunt, Sit John Bowring, Mr. Thomas Wright, Mr. Poole, Dr. Knox, and the president took part.

WHOLESALE TOOL ROBBERY AT A BUILDER'S. — FORTUNATE DETECTION.—WiIIiam Smith and George Garrett, two ill-looking fellows, were charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a large quantity of workmen's tools, of the value of about £l5, from the workshops of Mr. Wm. Hyde, builder, 1, Weymouth-street, Marytebone. Mr. Joseph Jackson, harness maker, of 174, Portland road, said at half-past 11 last night he was passing Mr. Hyde's premises in Weymouth-street, when he saw the two prisoners standing outside. He heard a whistle from the other side of the street, and saw two other persons standing there. This induced him to watch, and he then saw the two prisoners get through the railings (one being broken) and go down Mr. Hyde's area and pack up some of the tools. He then gave information to the police, having watched the prisoners for nearly a quarter of an hour, and aftewords saw the prisoners in custody. Jose Strickland, 91 E, said on being informed of what was going on by Mr. Jackson, he went down the area of the house 1, Weymouth-street, and saw one of the priso ners in the coal vault and the other trying to get up the steps. He, with the assistance of Jarman, 88 E, took the prisoners into custody. In answer to the charge and why they were there, the prisoners made no reply. Jarman, 88 E, confirmed the other officer. Sergeant Outing, 8 E, said he was called to 1, Wey mouth-street, and saw the prisoners in the custody of the other officers. On searching the place he found 61 tools tied up in aprons in a basket, and a large number in a sack. On examining the premises he found that an entry had been effected by cutting a pane of glass out of the work shop window v ith a knife used for the purpose by glaziers. Thomas Wilson, a carpenter in the employ of Mr. Hyde, proved locking up the workshop the previous evening at six, when all was quite safe. Some of the tools produced were his property, and others belonged to other workmen. The prisoners, who made no defence, were committed for trial. THAMES. THE BATTLE OF THE BOYNE.—Charles Carroll, a dis 11 - charged soldier, who appeared in the uniform of the regi ment to which he recently belonged, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing a silver watch, value £l2, from the person of John Singleton, hatter, of No. 3, Gar den-street, Stepney. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution. It appeared that Mr. Singleton is a Dublin tradesman, and came to London a few days since with his wife and nephew to visit the " great and glorious International Exhibition." On Tuesday night last they were partaking of refreshments at the Lord Nelson public-house in the Commercial-road, where they met the prisoner, who said he was an Irishman, and should like to join their company. He was cordially received, and after they had pledged each other's health they left the Lord Nelson and proceeded to another public house, where they made very merry, and on leaving the pri soner asked the nephew to give him a share of his bed, as he could not reach his lodgings that night. The nephew assented, and they all went to the temporary lodgings of Singleton) his wife, and nephew, in Garden-street, where they enter tained each other with songs; three half gallons of ale were sent for in succession, and they were very happy and noisy until Richard Finlay, the nephew, sung " The Battle of the Boyne." This gave offence to the prisoner, who called Finlay a - Orangeman, which the other retorted by calling the prisoner a Papist. A row ensued and "The Battle of the Boyne" gave rise to another battle. Singleton endeavoured to make peace and was seconded by his wife, a respecl able woman, but the nephew would not be pacified and quarrelled with his uncle. A desperate struggle took place on the floor, the prisoner took part in it and they were all down together, pulling, scratching, and beating each other. In the midst of the fight the prisoner got up and exclaiming, " I shall not stop in a house like this," immediately left. Directly after he was gone, Singleton ,missed his silver watch. He was sure he had it before the "Battle of the Boyne" was sung. The pri soner had hold of him round the waist and was rolling over him on the floor just before he missed his watch. Singleton produced a receipt for £ll 10s., the price of the watch which he had lately purchased. Mrs. Singleton, who said she was perfectly sober, produced the prisoner's braces which he left behind. Mr. Young said the prisoner's hurried departure was very suspicious, indeed, and that he was only arrested last night, and ought to be remanded. The prisoner denied that he had stolen the watch, and put in a certificate of service and discharge from the army. The party were all drunk. Mr. Selfe —I should think so, indeed. Three half gallons of ale in the house, and a good deal of gin and beer in the public-houses they visited, and the "Battle of the Boyne" afterwards. The prisoner has maintained a good character in the army for 16 years, and I shall certainly not detain him. Mr. Young—He never stopped to see the quarrel out, a quarrel he provoked, and he left his braces in the prosecu tor's house. Mr. Selfe—l suppose the prisoner has been just dis charged from the army. Carroll—l have, sir ; there is not a black mark against me. I am now staying with my brother, a Custom house officer, at No. 27, Upper Fenton-street, St. George in-the-East. Mr. Selfe—l shall give effect to the excellent character you have received ffom the colonel of your regiment, and shall keep your discharge until next Friday, and as a security for your coming here again, your own recogni sauces 'will be taken for your appearance in addition.

I ZINGARI AGAINST THE HOUSEHOLD BRIGADE. —At Lord's Ground yesterday, there was a very numerous and fashionable assembly to witness this cricket match. I Zingari commenced the batting, but only two reached double figures—Mr. Arkwright 16, and Marquis cf Bow mont 12; total of the innings 65. The Household Brigade made a very meagre score, being all disposed of for 43. In the second innings of I Zingari, Hon. T. De Grey displayed some good batting, and scored 30. Hon. R. Stewart, Mr. Balfour, and Mr. Tredcroft also rendered essential service, and the total was 92. The Household Brigade had to go in against 115, but 84 was all that was obtained, and of these Captain Stewart marked 10, Captain F. Marshal 16, and Mr. Stephens 25 ; two were absent. Twelve of a side played. I Zingari won by 31 run s. The exploits of Jack Sheppard were rivalled on Tuesday evening by a y oun g m an named David Malone, who was convicted at the Wexford Quarter Sessions for burglary, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude. After being sentenced, he was removed to a strongly-en closed dock in the court, communicating with which is a water-closet, lighted by a small window that looks out at the side of the court-house. This window is about nine feet from the ground, and secured on the inside by large iron bars extending from the top to the bottom. Malone several times retired to the closet, but about five o'clock he remained longer than usual, and on the turnkey going in the bird was flown. During his previous visits he had contrived to climb up to the window, remove an iron bar, and take out a small p ane of p erfor ated zinc, in order to small the opening, and escape. pass himself through The opening through which he forced himself was little more than 12 inches s quare, and on gaining the exterior of the court-house he had to pass through crowds of officials and police. He has not yet be en reca ptured , though hotly Pursued within 15 minutes after his escape. COVENT GARDEN.

Yesterday, the fifth day of these public perform ances at St. James's-hall was one of the most inte resting of the series. Great curiosity and sympatby were excited among our own countrymen towards Mr. Blackburne, who had undertaken a similar task to that which Herr Paulsen performed on Wednes day so successfully, namely, playing blindfolded against ten different players simultaneously. Mr. Blackburne is quite a young man, who, until a comparatively recent date, was altogether nn acquainted with chess. He has obtained already a considerable reputation, especially at Manchester, where he last year played a similar blindfold match most successfully, and he is likely to prove himself competent, ere long, to raise the character of Bri tish chess-players among our continental neigh bours. He is not yet fully able to hold his own against their veteran professionals, as is proved by his play in the grand tournament now daily pro ceeding, and in which he has not only lost to Anderssen, who has conquered in almost every in stance, but he has also been beaten by Mr. Deacon, Mr. Hannah, Rev. Mr. M'Donnel, and Mr. Robey. But as if in some slight way to compensate him for this ill-success fickle Dame Fortune smiled upon his efforts in his game with the Rev. J. Owen (the only gentleman who in this contest has as yet triumphed over Anderssen), whom he vanquished rather easily, as also Herr Steinitz, one of the most accomplished players of the time. Mr. Blackburne's blindfold match yesterday was against the ten fol lowing gentlemen : 1. Lord Ravensworth. 2. H. T. Young, Esq. 3. W. J. Evelyn, Esq. 4. A. S. Pigott, Esq. 5. H. B. Parminter, Esq. 6. Walter Chinnery, Esq. 7. J. F. Gillam, Esq. 8. Rimington Wilson, Esq. 9. A. G. Howard, Esq. 10. A. G. Puller, Esq. The match commenced at a quarter•past one, and was carried on with untiring energy, under the observation of a large number of persons who were assembled to note its progress. Abcut seven o'clock Mr. Pigott, against whom Mr. Blackburne had played the king's gambit, resigned, after a clever struggle. Half an hour afterwards Mr. Young, who had adopted Phillidor's defence, was allowed to draw, as was also subsequently Lord Ravensworth, against whom Mr. Blackburne had tried the Sicilian open ing. About half-past nine Mr. Evelyn resigned, and the match was c3ntinued for some time after without decisive results. Eventually Mr. R. Wilson's game was withdrawn. Mr. Parminter and Mr. Gil lam won. Mr. A. G. Howard and Mr. Puller resigned. These are results which, coupled with the man ner in which they were brought about, will do much to establish Mr. Blackburne's reputation as the most promising of young English chess players. It should be mentioned that Mr. Blackburne is infinitely more expeditious in his blindfold play than Herr Paulsen, and that he exhibited much acuteness in some of his calculations. For instance, in one game the moves had not been made upon the board as they should have been, but the mistake was not discovered until a move was notified to Mr. Blackburne which did not correspond with his cal culations, and he immediately said it was impossible, for that the piece named was not upon the square mentioned. Upon reference to the written score he was shown to be right, and the error was corrected. The Grand Tournament was advanced by three games, each of more than ordinary interest. Mr. Barnes lost to Mr. Paulsen, Signor Dubois lost to Herr Anderssen, and the Rev. Mr. Owen played an extremely fine game with Mr. M'Donnel. Of these games that between Anderssen and Dubois was, however, the most brilliant, indeed it may be considered one of the gems of the Congress. Herr Anderasen had the move, and played the bishop's gambit, which Signor Dubois defended irregularly. Anderasen played with great spirit, and a boldness that apparently almost amounted to temerity, but by a splendid dash he succeeded about the 15th move in capturing a bishop. The game through , out was of the character best described by the word "slashing," and was watched with great interest by a crowd of distinguished amateurs. It lasted little more than an hour, Signor Dubois, finding his po sition quite hopeless, resigning at the 25th move. The match between Mr. Barnes and Mr. Paulsen was a good specimen of a steady game. Mr. Barnes had the move, opening with king's bishop's pawn two—an irregular and defensive opening, but con sistent with the favourite theory of this skilful ama teur, that the defence of chess is stronger than the attack. The attack lasted upwards of four hours, but Paulsen having gained a pawn ultimately com pelled his antagonist to succumb. The game between the Rev, Mr. Owen and the Rev. Mr. M'Donnel was one that will long be re membered in chess circles. Both gentlemen brought to the contest reputation and skill of the highest order, both were Englishmen, and both were in such a position at the tournament that a defeat would seriously affect their chances of a prize. The game commenced at 2 o'clock. Mr. Owen had the move, and opened with his favourite Sicilian open ing, playing pawn to Q.B. 4. Mr. M'Donnell also adopted a close game, playing pawn to K.B. 4. Each player knowing the other's strength, and re membering how much depended on the contest, ad vanced to the battle with great wariness and pru dence. Indeed for some time the game was cautious almost to heaviness, the advantage being slightly on the side of Mr. Owen, M'Donnel's left flank being rather weakened and exposed, whilst Mr. 0 wen'e base of operations was preserved intact. At length M'Donnel began to feel his strength, and made a bold charge with his advanced gnat d of pawns,well covered by his queen in reserve and by a distant bnt skirmishing bishop. The charge was successful in materially strengthening M'Donnel's position, and enabled him to perform a beautiful manoeuvre, by which, through the sacrifice of a knight, he gained an advantageous exchange. From this moment he held the victory in his hands,hut it was not until the 54th move that Mr. Owen, who never resigns whilst there is even a shadow of a hope, was so far over powered that he could no longer maintain the fight. The battle occupied seven hours, the time being chiefly taken up by Mr Owen, who consumed nearly an hour to one move. The announcement of .M‘Donnel's victory was received with so me ap plause.

Th e ordinary we ekly meeting of th e M etropolitan Board of W orks was held yesterday at th e i r o ffi ces , Spring g ardens, Mr. Freeman i n th e c h a i r. T he - cash statement showed the balances in the hands of the treasurer were, on current accounts, £116,711 9s. Bd. ; on deposit accounts, £10,470, and on Go vernment securities, £69,892 ss. lid. Various tenders for the engine -house and works for the southern outfall sewer were considered. The engi neer's estimate was £312,000, including £30,000 for extras. The Board sat for some time with closed doors, and ultimately decided on accepting Mr.'\Vebster's tender, because he had done the pre vious work well and satisfactorily. The tenders for engines and pumps were next considered ; the engineer's estimate was £45,000. The Board de— cided to refer the matter to three engineers to ascertain which proposal would be the cheapest, taking into consideration the cost per horse-power of working the engines, Mr. Miller moved that a resolution of the Board of the 20th of June last, to the effect that the Board should not petition against the Tramways Bill, be rescinded. An animated discussion ensued, during which it was admitted that a large number of persons had travelled by Train's tramway because it was cheap, expeditious, and commodious, but it was a nuisance to others who used carriages and ought therefore to b e re; sisted. On a division the motion was majority of 19 t o 9. On the motion o f Mr. p l i t i hat lost i b t.n Y o a seconded by Mr. Robinson, it was resolve ke r and mero a day be set apa r t for inviting the Sp ea e mbers of the bers of the House of Commons and in- House of Lords to visit the works and inspect them, the day to be fixed Speaker. The Board then adjourned. by the THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. SPORTING-THIS DAY. TAT TERSALL'S—THIS EVENING.

The tide was ebbing rapidly at the time, and the wind rather boisterous ; and on the steamer reaching Broughty she struck heavily against the pier. The rebound shook the waggons, and loosened the chucks' used to keep the wheels from moving, and the restraininz power being thus removed, the whole eighteen waggons rushed one after the other into the river, the water at the place being from eighteen to twenty feet deep. Ten of the waggons were loaded with coal, and the other eight with general goods, including a quantity of wheat and flour and 118 bundles of flax yarns. Men were as soon as possible set to work to get the goods taken out of the waggons; but the work was found to be very difficult, and portions of the goods were washed away and set afloat in the Tay. A despatch was sent to Burntisland for a diver and a squad of men, so that, with their assistance, and the use of a crane barge, they might get the waggons lifted up, and the damaged goods secured. The accident will no cause any interruption to the ordinary trafficof tie railway. —Scotsman. A WORD UPON THE ROYAL MARRIAGE ACT. — The protests of the peers against this measure should be studied from generation to generation till the Royal Marriage Act is repealed. The two chief • grounds of protest are that the Act violates the great laws of Nature, in the first place, and constitutional principle in the next. It was called from the beginning• an " Act for the Encouragement of Royal Vice and Immorality ;" and there was no less objection to the unconstitutional powers which it gave to the Sovereign first, and to Parliament afterwards, by which the succession was en-. dangered, and every preparation was made for future dis cord and disorder. The act comprehended all the descen dants of George 11., except the offspring of princesses mar ried to foreign potentates ; and as there were then 30,000 persons in England, from the peer to the chimney sweep, who had royal blood in their veins, this law gave the Sovereign power over the domestic destiny of an incalculable and ever increasing number of his subjects. It was declared to be a radical vice in the law that it imposed no restraint on the marriage of the reigning Sovereign, or of any Regent who should have reached to age of 21. It was declared mon strous that Royal princes should not be of age, in regard to marriage, till '25 ; and that then they must depend on Par liament for permission to marry, and must wait a full year from the time of petitioning, for the chance of a prohibition by the legislature. Every effort was made to obstruct the passage of the law ; the records of the Peers were ran sacked ; the Judges were invoked ; all the forms of both houses were made use of to obtain delay ; but the King put forth his resources also ; and by moral and political vio lence, the bill was carried in six weeks. At the conclusion of the protest of the nine lords, they claim to be for ever regarded as free from responsibility for the disorders and sorrows which could not but arise from the operation of such a law. Some of them lived to witness what they had foretold ; but the King and Queen themselves had to en dure the worst of the retribution, in the spectacle of the corruption and blight which they had inflicted on their own children.— Once a Week. SUICIDE WITH OXALIC AClD.—Yesterday morn ing a shocking act of self. destruction was committed by Eleanor Hawks, aged 40 years, the wife of a mariner, under the following circumstances. The deceased had teen F operated from her husband and lived in the vicinity of Limehouse, while the latter took up his abode at Green's Sailors' Home, East India-road, Poplar. On Wednes day deceased had been out drinking, and returned home at a late hour in a state of intoxication. At an early ! hour yesterday a groaning noise was heard in her room, and i when one of the lodgers went to her sleeping apartment she was discovered lying on the bed in a state of great agony. 1 Search was made, and two papers were found labelled "Oxalic acid, poison," and " Red precipitate powder." No time was lost in removingthe deceased in a cab to the Lon don Hospital, where antidotes were administered, but not withstanding all efforts to save her life, she expired. THE MURDERS IN LONGFORD AND LIMERICK.— £lOO has been offered by the Government for such infor•• [nation as shall lead to the arrest of any person who has, since the murder of the late Mr. Francis FitzgeralJ, of Garrynoe, near Kilmallick, county Limerick, knowingly harboured, concealed, assisted, or in any way aided in the escape from arrest of James Walsh, now a prisoner in the gaol of Limerick; also a reward of £lOO, with a similar in tent and for a similar reason, in the case of the murder of John Corrigan, and firing at and wounding his wife, near Malkagh, in the county of Longford, on April 20.

INCENDIARISM N EAR FOLKESTONE.— About half past 12 o'clock on Wednesday night a police-constable at Sandgate suddenly saw flames on the high ground between him and Folkestone. He ran off towards the spot. On approaching it be saw a ragged lad of 18 skulking under a hedge and asked him what was on fire. The reply was "A. stack ; I set it alight." On being asked his reason for doing so the young man said, " That is my business." Thd con stable took him into custody and prooeeded with him to the fire. He found the stacks and loose straw in the yard of the Plain Farm in flames, and woke up the people living the cottages which surrounded the yard. After he had done so he found that the flames had extended to sheds at bo th ends of the enclosure.
