MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-:SATURbAY. The Asia, from Boston, has brought £lO,OOO in specie. A similar amount is being brou&ht over by the Edinburgh. The advices just received from Melbourne an nounce the departure for England of the Lincoln shire, with £195,000 in gold ; the Blue Jacket, with £104,000 ; and the Anglesea, with £28,000 ; making a total of only £327,000. The Orwell, re ported by the previous mail, is still at sea with £124,000. There is renewed excitement in the Liverpool Cotton Market. A fresh advance of id. to d. per lb. took place to-day, and the sales increased to 15,000 bales. Advices from Frankfort mention that the panic on the Vienna Exchange caused by the movements of Garibaldi and the fear of new complications in Italy, has in a great degree subsided. The market, however, has been affected by a heavy demand for bills on London on the part of the Trieste merchants, to provide for large orders for cotton and other produce. Hence the Austrian funds will show a con siderable decline since the beginning of the month, amounting in some cases to 3 per cent. At the half-yearly meeting of the Melbourne and liobson's-bay Railway Company, held at Melbourne on the 3d of June, a dividend of £2 10s. per share Was declared, and is now payable to the shareholders on the London register. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The accounts from the manufacturing districts, for the past week, are of a less satisfactory charac ter, Owing to the prevalence of unfavourable Weather, and the effect it may have on harvest pro spects. The woollen trade of Leeds, however, has been steady, and owing to the smallness of stocks on hand manufacturers generally are well employed. Cloths and yarns at Manchester have fully sustained previous prices. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham have remained without material variation. In the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton busi ness generally has continued inactive. The Tasmanian, for the West Indies, has taken out £421,800 in gold, chiefly on account of the Peru vian Loan. An ad interim dividend, at the rate of 10 per cent., has been declared by the directors of the Agra and United Service Bank, for the half-year ending 30th June last. The directors of the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China have announced a di .videned of 5 per cent. for the past six months. The half-yearly meeting of the Oriental Inland Steam Company will take place on the 28th inst. The directors of the St. John del Rey Mining Company (limited) have received, by a duplicate telegram from Lisbon, the following report, dated Morro Velho, July, 1862 :•—Produce for June, 43,660 o it avas ; cost for do., £9,315 ; profit for do., £7,154. Produce (11 days of July), 14,823 oit. ; yield, 7,115 oit. per ton. The Money Market continues firm and active. Tull rates are asked by the joint-stock and private 'establishments for all the securities presented to Them for negotiation, and the Bank of England authorities are obtaining a very large share of the bills now brought forward. There is still an idea in aornl3 quarters that an early advance will take place in the value of money, but the future tendency of 'affairs will greatly depend upon the extent to which - the shipments of specie on account of recent foreign loans may be neutralised by arrivals from Victoria, and results of the harvest. A large supply of Australian gold, viz , £318,460, bas just come in, and it is also satisfactory to be able to record an improvement in the weather, which, if continued, will exercise a very favourable influence upon the yield of cereal ptoducts. There was a meeting to-day of the proprietors of the Bank of Australasia, at which it was stated, that the directors continue to receive from the at t perint mdent and managers satisfactory accounts o f t h e current transactions of the Bank. They have also the pleasure to state that the indications of active ant, l healthy progress in the general condition 'of the Austealian Colonies, to which they alluded in 'their last report, were becoming more apparent. Trade was improving ; and although the price of Wool has fallen, better rates were being obtained for other kinds of colonial produce_ The yield of gold from alluvial diggings had declined, partly owing to the difficulty of procuring water, Quartz mining Ivan being prosecuted with success ; and the dis coveries which were taking place of fresh gold fields, especially in New South Wales, tend to confirm the opinions entertained of the richness and extent of the mineral resources of Australia. The directors have now only to declare their intention of paying 4: :_ n the 14th of October, the same dividend and "clans as for the half-year at April, being together, at the rate of 121 per Cent. per annum, free of income-tax. The chair was occupied by Mr. Hen eraoti, who, after a few preliminary and congratu latory remarks upon the progress and prosperity of th e bank, stated that an establishment bad been erected a t the Forbes station, in the Sydney district, forbe en npenod during the past six months. The coma , 13 . cte reial and pastoral interests of the whole Austra 4an colonies were in a very thriving state, and al though the price of wool in this country had con algerably— fallen in value, the increased prices in other ec)re tnedities would, it was thought, compensate for t he losses in the former mentioned staple. The two bills viz. , the Land and Emigration—recently passed by the Legislature of Victoria would, it was -Considered, ren d er mater i a l serv i ces t o the colony, by Riving greater encouragement to emigration and flakin g the tenure of land more easily accessible and satisfactory. The report was unanimously adopted, an d a vo t e o f th an k s p asse d to the directors. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. *Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 93 2/ 3k a per Cent.

The marriage of Miss Ina Sarah Forbes Bonetta and Mr. James Pinson Labulo Davies, a short his torical sketch of whom was given in last Thursday's impression, was duly solemnised on that day, at St. Nicholas Church, Brighton. The following details of the ceremony from the Brighton ( ibserver will be read with interest:—" As early as 10 o'clock the approaches to the Old Church by way of Churci - street, North-street, and Church-hill were thronged with crowds of persons, anxiously waiting for the opening of the church doors. For about an hour they were detained in the pelting rain—that is, such portion of them as were unprovided with tickets of admittance. Before that time a large number of ladies, provided with the aforesaid tickets, were admitted by the north-east entrance, and took up the best position they could near the altar. About half-past 10 a " couple" presented themselves at the hymeneal altar to be made one. The reverend vicar per formed the ceremony, which had scarcely con cluded when the first carriage of the party arrived at the northern entrance. All eyes instantly left the newly-married couple, and were directed to the vestry-door. Here entered four bridesmaids—ladies of colour—apparelled in white dresses, with red rib bon trimming extending round the neck and across the chest ; a broad sash of the same coloured mate rial being fastened around the waist, long streaming ends reaching almost to the ground, white tarlatan opera cloaks were thrown over their shoulders, and their heads were encircled with bonnets of tulle of the purest white, and of the latest fashion ; the caps being formed of blonde, interspersed with apple blossom. In these all interest was centred, until a few minutes later four fair bridesmaids entered the sacred edifice, two of whom were attired similar to their sister—African bridesmaids, whilst the other two wore " Forget-me-nots" in their bonnets ; and their white dresses were trimmed with blue ribbon, with sashes to match. The next party that arrived included the bridegroom and five coloured grooms men. Then followed six fair young ladies varying from about twelve to six years of age, also brides maids. These, too, were also dressed in white, with white Tuscan hats trimmed—two with apple-blos soms and four with " forget me-nots," with white lace streamers hanging tastefully down their backs. Four English bridesmen and one coloured gentleman concluded the party, with the exception of numerous friends. The excitement then became intense—all that was wanting was the bride. Some few minutes elapsed, all eyes being rivetted on the door. At length a cheer and a clapping of hands from the hundreds without the building announced her arri val. Steadfastly was she scanned from head to foot. She was robed in pure white. Her dress was of glace silk, the trimmings being of the same material. A wreath of orange blossoms encircled her brow, and a veil of white lace hung tastefully from it over her shoulders and bosom. She was met at the door by the bridegroom, and appeared considerably ner vous, the incessant throbbing of her deeply-coloured breast being very perceptible through her thin gar ments. Of her personal qualities we may safely say she is one of the prettiest coloured ladies we ever beheld. There is a distinct absence of that abrupt ness in the features so often seen in females of the Africa. race, which gives them an air of ferocity. She has an eye expressive of tenderness and beam ing with intelligence, whilst her whole deportment is ladylike in the extreme. On the arrival of the bride all was in readiness. The bridal party were ranged before the altar. Next behind the bride and bridegroom stood the childen, then the African and English bridesmaids, mingled in pleasing confusion, whilst the groomsmen brought up the rear. The en tire length of the nave of the church was crammed with people, anxious to obtain a glimpse of the cere mony. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Sierra Leone, assisted by the Rev. Henry Venn and the Rev. Wm. Nichol (a gentleman of colour) performed the service, which was strictly in adherence with the form of the Church of England. Immediately on the rev. bishop commencing the prayers the ut most silence prevailed,bu t the responses were uttered in so low a tone by the bride and bridegroom that they were perfectly inaudible at but a few yards from the altar. Capt. Forbes, R.N., father of the late Capt. Forbes, who brought Miss Bonetta to England, gave away the bride. The ceremony lasted about three-quarters of an hour, when, the registry having been signed, the happy couple and the bridal party left the church, being lustily cheered by the populace which had assembled in hundreds at the vestry door. A merry peal on the church bells added much to the cheerfulness of the scene at the conclusion of the ceremony." A breakfast on a splendid scale, served up in the garden of West Hill-lodge, followed, which was partaken of by a large and distinguished company, including the newly-married couple, the Bishop of Sierra Leone, Captain Forbes, several clergymen connected with the district and the Church Mis sionary Society, and a number of ladies. The Rev. H. Venn proposed the health of the "Bride and Bridegroom," to which the bridegroom replied, and in doing so, expressed himself highly indebted to Englishmen for their kindness since he had been amdngst them. The proceedings were brought to a conclusion about half-past tour by the singing of the " Doxology," and the happy pair left for Lon don, and it is, said they intend to start shortly for Sierra Leone, and expect to be there in about a I moot h. A MAN ROASTED TO DEATH IN A BRICK KlLN.—This (Monday) morning, Mr. John Humphreys, one of the coroners of Middlesex, received information of the following shocking occurrence :—About six o'clock on Saturday morning, as two boys were passing along Messrs. Ambler's brickfields, in the Lower-road, Ball's-pond, Islington, they disco vere d a man on the top of one of the brick kilns La the field.

MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were firmer for wheat, and prices were on the advance. All kinds of glaring corn commanded full rates, with a steady inquiry• The flour trade was moderately active, on rather higher terms. On the Continent, nearly all cereals have sold slowly, but very little change has taken place in their value. Advices from New York bring lower prices for wheat and flour. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were exceedingly small. The imports from abroad were 31,728 quarters of wheat, 6,935 barley, 61,918 oats, 3,335 beans, 5,576 peas, 555 tares, 3,040 linseed, 530 rapeseed, 1,350 maize, 2,331 sundry seeds, 780 sacks and 7,190 barrels of flour. Scarcely any old home-grown wheat was on offer in this day's market. Of new produce, however, nearly two thou sand quarters came to hand, but the quality generally speaking, was much inferior to that of last year's crop. Owing to the prevailing unfavourable weather, there was decidedly more firmness in the trade, but without leading to any anxiety on the part of millers to effect sales, and prices must be considered Is. per quarter higher than on Monday last. The quotations for new wheat varied from 58a to 64s per quarter. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. In some instances, importers demanded Is. per quarter more money, but they were almost generally willing to sell at fully last Monday's currency, at which a good retail business was transacted. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, and the quotations had an upwards tendency. There was some very fine new Kentish barley on sale, which sold at 4 1s. per quarter. M iddli ng an d inferior qualities changed hands, at from 365. to 383., but the show of new produce was small. Foreign descriptions were disposed of at extreme rates. The malt trade was somewhat inactive, yet no change took place in prices. An increased supply of foreign oats was on the Blinds, but the show of home-grown qualities was exceedingly small. Good and fine parcels moved off steadily, at full quotations; otherwise the oat trade was slow, on rather easier terms. Beans, owing to the limited quantity in the market, rea lised extreme rates. Peas ruled firm, at full currencies. Very few parcels of new were on offer, the value of which was unchanged ; grey, 38s to 40s ; white, 41s to 42s per quarter. For flour there was a somewhat improved inquiry, and prices ruled the turn higher. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was a fully average supply of foreign stock on offer here to-day. The beasts were mostly in middling condition, but the quality of the sheep and calves was good. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were only moderate for the time of year, Those from Ireland, however, were good, but frcm Scotland they were trifling. Prime Scots, crosses, and shorthorns moved off freely, owing to the small number on offer, at Thursday's advance in the quotations, the top figure being 4s 10d per 81bs, but all other breeds met a slow inquiry, at late rate. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamtonshire we received 2,600 shorthorns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 400 various breeds; from Scotland, 31 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 400 oxen and heifers. Nothwithstanding that the supply of sheep was some what extensive, all good and prime breeds commanded a steady inquiry, at fully last week's currency. Inferior breeds, however, moved off slowly, on former terms. A few very superior downs realised 5s 6d per Blbs, but the general top price for mutton was 5s 4d per 81bs. Prime small lambs were in request, at extreme rates, viz., 6s 2d to 6s 4sl per Blbs. Otherwise the lamb trade was in a sluggish state, at previous rates. Calves, the supply of which was tolerably good, moved off slowly, at Thursday's currency—viz., from 4s to 5s per 81bs.

This morning the August Sessions of the Central Cri minal Court commenced at the Sessions House, Old Bailey. The calendar contains a list of no fewer than 151 prisoners for trial. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The Common Sergeant (T. Chambers, Esq., Q.C.), in the absence of the Recorder, delivered the charge, and said that although the calender was heavier than usual, owing to the lapse of time since last session, the cases for the most part were not of a very serious character. He was, however, sorry to say that, among them there were three cases involving loss of life. The first charge was against a sailor for stabbing another seaman. The other case was that in which a woman was charged with stabbing a man. The next case was that in whi c h a woman, named Mary Ann Harris, was charged with the murder of her child, and who attempted to destroy herself. In the case of James Macroft Osbourne, who was charged under the Fraudulent Trustees Act of misappropriating funds to the extent of upwards of £3,000, as trustee under the will of William Macroft, deceased, the jury would have no difficulty in returning a true bill. There was another charge of a most remarkable and serious character against a person named Charles Rey nolds, alias Davies, for sending threatening letters to Sir Anthony and the Baron Rothschild with the intention to extort money. The Grand Jury would have no difficulty in sending the ca se f or trial before the petty jury, as the prisoner hal admitted h e wrote the letters. The learned Judge saidin the other cases there was nothing to call for any remarks from him, except that he regretted to say that there were seven or eight cases in which men of different ages were charged with felonious assaults upon girls of j t u e n r y d e w r o y u e l a d r s c . 0 ra t u a n n i y c a l e t e g a w l i tdifficulttheyo Court , o u i l t d w a o rise, ia d r if e a d t i h l y e afford them every assistance. The Jury then withdrew, and during the morning re turned a number of true bills. POLICE-THIS DAY. WESTMINSTER. SERIOUS DEPREDATIONS IN ♦N ORCHARD, —Henry Runge and Thomas Dagerley, two little boys described as only nine years of age, but who looked much older, were charged with the following robbery : William Watts, 253 B, said—On Saturday evening, at half-past seven, he was on duty at Walton. street station, when two gentlemen came there and said that there were a number of boys in Mrs. Catleigh's garden, close by, stealing some apples. Witness was directed by his in spector to go and endeavour to apprehend them. On proceeding to the spot he saw the prisoners and another boy running across the garden in the direction of Walton street. He gave chase and caught Dagerley, upon whom he found a large quantity of fine large apples tied up in his jacket. The other boys escaped, but one of them was after wards caught. Henry Rayner,hackney carriago attendant, proved appre hending Lunge, upon whom he found the apples. Mr. Dayman inquired whether there was any fence to the garden? Inspector Butler replier] in the affirmative. It was no less than between 7 and 8 feet high, and Mrs. Catleigh had lately been at considerable expense in having it thrown up, in consequence of the alarming depredations by the boys in the neighbourhood. She had been plundered to a great extent lately. James Smith, foreman to Mrs. Catleigh, fruiterer, Ann street, Chelsea, identified the apples as his mistress's pro perty. There were besides these between 20 and 30 apples lying loose in the garden, which he had no doubt would have been taken had the boys not been disturbed. Mr. Dayman asked the boy-e whether they had anything to say 7 Defendants, as usual, said some bigger boys had sent them into the garden. They were locked up for 14 days, in default of paying 10s. 6d. each. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING A DIAMOND RlNG.—Mary Ann Mills, who said she was 17, but really looked no more than 14, was charged with stealing a diamond ring of the value of £l5, the property of Mr. George Lewes, jeweller, of 12, Port man-street, Bryanstone-square. . Prosecutor said he met the girl and went with her to a house in Arundel-court, and while there the prisoner took off his diamond ring and pretended she had dropped it. He observed her place her hands behind her, and told her that if she did not return it he would give her in charge, and then sent for a constable. Billett, a constable, said he was called to Arundel-court. Mr. Tyrwhitt observed that he believed it was a most notorious place. Billett said it was, He searched the place, but could not find the ring. Sergeant Stephens, 11 C, said the prisoner was brought to the station on Saturday night and searched by the female searcher, who found nothing ; from what he observed when he went in the cell subsequently, the prisoner hating her gown off, he felt in the pocket of it, and there found the ring, which the prosecutor identified. Prisoner, whose voice was that of a child, asked to be for given. _ Mr. Tyrwhitt asked her whether she was really 17 years of age. The girl said she was, and was remanded for a week, having given a false address. A FOREMAN CHARGED WITH ROBBING HIS MASTER. —Stephen Cann, foreman to Mr. Alfred Gorton, butcher, of Great Windmill-street, ,was charged with robbing his employer. Mr. Gorton said he was induced to watch the prisoner, who came down before the usual time, and he observed him open the door and let in a man, who laid down a cloth. The prisoner then selected a leg of mutton, a large piece of beef, &c. The man then left with it, and he pursued him and gave him over to another person, and on returning to the house the door was shut against him, and the prisoner made his escape over the roofs of several houses. The other man managed to escape from the person he had left him in charge of. It was the fourth foreman who had served him the same way, although he paid them what ever wages they asked. Sergeant Curm, C division, said he found the prisoner had escaped over the roof of some houses, and took him into custody while he was secreted in a cellar. Mr Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, said it would be idle for him to address anything on the prisoner's behalf more than to say, that before quitting Mr. Gorton's service he had been suffering for a long time from illness. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. FOREIGN MINES. 20 Australian .' — 7 l 1 1 4 1 BonAccord Copper,Llro. all 4 4 g 5 Brazil .

Another pamphlet has appeared on the " Roman ques tion," it is called "La Capital de Phalle ;" the author is M. Francois Potier. M. P o ti er i s of opinion that " all the efforts of diplomatists for a compromise are chime rical so long as Italy maintains in its programme Rome for its capital. The Papacy could make no con cession on this point without abdicating its Sovereignty." He is also convinced that "if th e promoters of the Italian idea frankly give up placing at Rome the seat of Government, and if they admit the principle of the Pontifical Sovereignty, they would no longer find the Papacy resisting the patriotic part of their aspirations. The Papacy would even co-operate with them by. resuming its historic part of moderator among Christian Princes and protector of the independence of Italy." He denies the necessity of Italy fixing the seat of its Government at Rome, and contends that, far from securing the freedom and unity of Italy, it would endanger both. He suggests Ravenna as the proper capital. " Italy ought to be a modern idea, a Chris tian nation, like France and Spain, and not a poor imitation of the classical period, Christian Italy has ever had a capi tal ; it was Ravenna on which the duchy of Rome depended —Ravenna, which for two centuries was the seat of the Go vernment of the Exarchs, or Viceroys of Italy. The Ita lians who wish to he archaeologists, but Christian archseolo gists, should take Ravenna for their capital." If they do not desire this, he suggests that the Italian Parliament should choose by lot the name of the new capital. He admits there is no precedent for such a mode of proceeding, but this is noargumentagainst it. " It would,be a noble and touching spectacle to see the representatives of all the glorious cities of Italy laying their respective claims and their ancient rivalries on the altar of their country, closing all disputes, find calling upon a Royal child, the presumptive heir to all the Crowns, to draw from the ballot box the name of the future capital." M. Potier would prefer Naples, but for Naples, were it not on military grounds, greater claims than any other to the suff ragea of all. Napes has double the population of Rome, three timesow n o e u reason a st have e : o f Turin, four times that of Florence, and, so far as population is worth anything, has that advantage. It ia equally distant from the two extremities of Italy, from the northern f ron ti er and the point of Sicily. Napl es would be a splendid capital. But its magnificent posi tion on the sea makes it weak. A few English or French vessels could at any moment reduce it to ashes. Now, unless the Italians aim at being soon masters of the sea, they ought not to desire for their capital a city without defence, constantly exposed to the insults of a squadron. Their national independence requires a sanctuary better protected against the foreigner. They are expected to choose the site ; it is their business to make it impregnable." The only solution of the problem is to build a new city and make it the capital of Italy; and be quotes precedents in support of this view When Constantine beoame a Christian, he at once understood that the destinies of the empire were changed, and that at Rome there wits a majesty greater than his. But, not wishing to be second in Rome, he founded at Byzantium the seat of his empire. It is the fashion to speak with disdain of -the empire of Constantine; yet a work which has lasted 11 centuries, and which may again acquire new life, has a right to respect from history. When Peter the Great, on his return from his travels in the countries of the West, re - solved to make of Russia a modern European nation, he despaired of accomplishing his work by reason of the traditions associated with the old Asiatic city of Moscow, 111 e founded St. Petersburg, and his doing so was on of the most re markable traits of his genius. When, after the victory which secured their independence, and which had been aided by French arms, the United States of America became a nation, the Congress did not choose for a capital Boston or Philadelphia, New York or Charleston. It founded a city to be the seat of Government, and gave it the glorious name of Washington. Alas ! where is the Italian Washington worthy of giving his name to the capi tal of Italy P" But, whatever be said of a new capital, M. Potier is decidedly of opinion that it must not be Rome. " The same majesty which at Rome drove away the first Christian Caesar drives away the first King of Italy. Rome. is still the centre of the world, not that of a nation, Who-. ever wishes to found an Italy should leave Rome to the Pontiff, and leek a capital elsewhere." CURIOUS CASE OP BIGAMY.—At the Salford police-court, on Tuesday, John Pearson, joiner, Partington street, was charged with intermarrying with Mary Aim Thomson, his first wife being-at that time alive. The pri goner in defence handed in a document, of which the follow ing is a copy:—" Monday, November 18, 1861. This is to certify that I, Emma Pearson, from this time henceforth and for ever renounce all claim to John Pearson as my husband; and also to certify that I do not now, nor ever shall, from this time forward, consider that any tie exists between us as man and wife, and every of us two are at liberty from each other to do as our better judgment may direct. As witness our hand. This is my mark, EMMA PEAS,_ sox." Believing this to be a legal acquittal from his first wife, he married Mary Ann Thompson, at St. Bartholomew's, Sal ford on the 9th of December. The prisoner's first wife said a young man came to her in the mill and asked her to sign the paper which had been read, and being angry at the time she put her mark to it. The prisoner was remanded until Monday next. MURDEROUS ATTACK ON A YOUNG GENTLEMAN IN FRA.NCE —A lad, lo years of age, son of M. Dubrulle, judge of the tribunal of Douai (Nord), went three days ago to the ditch which surrounds the fortifications to amuse himself with fishing. At a few yards from him was a sol dier following the same amusement, and with whom he en tered into conversation. After a time young Dubrulle, thinking it time to return home, took out his watch to see what time it was. The sight of the watch excited the cu pidity of the soldier, and when the lad left he followed him. On reaching a secluded spot the soldier, after asking his name, laid hold of him by the throat, and sayin g —“ 'you shall never see your father again," pressed his throat so hard as to nearly strangle him, after which he beat Lim about the head with a brick, and left him for dead, carry ing off the watch wi.h him, In about two hours the young Dubrulle recovered his senses, and manag ed to drag hiln tunately, some one chanced to pass, and he was self a short distance from the spot, where he fainted. 1.. °, - conveyed home, where, after medical assistance a ha en b procured, he recovered sufficiently to be able t e o give l which, it is hoped, may lead to the a rre st i ndications ultiTat e e e t u y ac count of what had taken. place, and_atost som e assailant. but hopes are The lad remains in a very dangerous.sta , entertained that his life will be savrvedas too sm all for him.
