II MONEY MARKET. CITY NE W S-YESTERDAY. In the Stock Exchange the supply of money has increased, and the rate for loans on Government Securities from day to day has declined to 1 to 2 per cent. _ _ The silver market is extremely flat, and the quo tation nominal, at ss. ld. per ounce. It appears. 'by the American advices to-day that the price of gold at New York has risen to 41 per cent. prern., and the exchange on London to 1151. A decided_ advance took place to-day in many kinds (Jf American securities. The demand is en tirely in answer to the higher prices received from New York. English holders are selling, while the American speculators continue to buy largely, thus )rouloting the rise in the exchange, and the conse qua nt efflux of gold from New York to England. 1: he weather being fine, business in the wheat market to-day was not so brisk as on Monday, but there was no change in price. The traffic returns in course of publication this week will mostly show an increase, as they include the receipts of Whitsun week this year as against an ordinary week last year. The London and North Western return shows an increase of £10,034, whicl is considered good; the :Lancashire and Yo•eksbire an increase of £3,000, which is not re garded favourably; the Great Northern, an increase cnf £253; and the Great Western, an increase of £1,620. The last price from Paris this evening was 68f. 35c., again showing no alteration. The shipments of specie by the Ceylon will be £410,251, of which £399,586 is silver and £10,665 is gold ; to Alexandria £l,OOO in gold, to Ceylon £3,000 in gold, to India £6,665 in gold and £27,020 in silver,, and for China and the Straits £372,566 in silver, Tk.e corn market this morning was not quite so trwn as on Monday. About £15,000 in gold was taken to the Bank to-day. The activity in the cotton market caused by the accounts from America and India and China still continues, and a further advance has taken place to day, the quotations being now id. per lb. above these current at the close of last last week. The accounts from the Paris Bourse mentions - that the public continue to invest steadily in Rentes and also in Italian Five per Cents., and that the cause of the prevailing flatness of prices consists in the uncertainties regarding the expenditure for the 'war in Mexico and the anxiety which always begins to be entertained about this period with regard to the harvest, CITY NEWS-THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Ceylon., leaving to-morrow with the Indian and China mails, will take out £410,250 in specie. The Liverpool cotton market yesterday continued to 1 2resent a very excited appearance, and 15,000 tales were disposed of at a further slight advance. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up Stu this day, are in round figures ha under : 1862. 1861. -Great Western North-Western South-Western Brighton Midland i South-Eastern Great Northern ••• t Lancashire and Yerkshire 41,710 38,680 Bristol and Exe; cer ]forth-Easte•k u .... .. 37,100 41,228 Eastern Counties 29,365 25,816 Edinburgh and Glasgow Glasgow and South-Western Great Western of Canada 8,445 6,838 Th ese returns are, in most instances, of a satisfac tory character.

Very little interest has been manifested to-day in the weekly meeting of the Bank of England directors. A week ago their proceedings were watched with some anxiety, because it was pre sumed that a change in the discount regulations was imminent on account o f th e l arge withdrawals of sovereigns for transmission to Turkey. The out flow, ho wever , suddenly ceased, and since then the large move ment has been i n an oppos i te di rec ti on , a having proportion of th e l ate Australian arr i va l s been disposed of to th last balance -sh eet exhibited a [decrease of £453, 623 in the stock of bulli on , b eing a smaller diminu tion than most persons interested in the subject had anticipated, and it is not improbable that the return completed this afternoon for publication to-morrow will show a reactionary tendency, because as much as £220,000 has been sent in to the establishment, while the contraction of the circulation, usual at this period of the year, will no doubt have econo mised the supplies of coin in the hands of the public.

The plethora of the American Money Market, with the inflation of the currency, had caused an unusual speculation in stocks and shares of both fixed and doubtful value ; and not withstanding the advance in the rate of exchange to 1151, and the increasing efflux of gold, specula tors seemed evidently bent upon forcing prices still higher. The mrrkets close firm, with an active in quiry for all descriptions of bonds." Business in the Railway Share Market has exhi bited slight symptoms of improvement, although there is little change of importance to record in prices. South-Western and North-Eastern (Ber wick) have advanced about 55., and North-Western, 10s. ; Caledonian, however, have declined 15s. ; Midland, 55.; and Norfolk, 10s.

(Before Mr. Moody.) NOVEL AND IMPORTANT QUESTION UNDER THE ?AWN BROKERS' ACT.—HILTON V. MALLARS, This was an action to recover £lO damages for the alleged wrongful detention of a gun, pledged at defendant's 19.. shop, plaintiff being a baker of Islinehm, nr l 4 . f .'"a""‘ " pawnbroker of the Caledonian-road. Mr. Jay called the plaintiff, from whose testimony it ap peared that on the let March, 1861, a gun was pledged at the defendant's shop for £2. On the 2d March, 1862, plaintiff called and inquired for his gun, tendering princi pal and interest. Defendant said he was busy, but the gun was all right, and if plaintiff sent in a day or two he could have it. Plaintiff did call again as requested, but was again put off until a future occasion. The third time plaintiff called defendant said, "Oh I I've sold your gun by public auction for £2 17s, 6d., here is your balance." Plaintiff declined to accept the money, and brought the preseat action, Mr, Kemp having cross-examined the plaintiff, called de.. fendant, who said the plaintiff did not call upon him until after the sale by auction, and he never promised to save the gun. Mr. Jay—lt is difficult to trace these things, but I have seen the gun this morning. Defendant—Yes, I bought it in for Z 2 17s. 6d., and sold it privately for 163 les. Mr. Jay—Then it was not sold by auction at all ? Defendant—l bought it in. His Honour was clearly of opinion that plaintiff was en titled to damages under the circumstances, and he awarded £5 with costs. CRIMINAL COURT--THIS DAY. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) A labourer named Callaghan was indicted for the man. slaughter of John Bailey. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. The unfortunate circumstance took place at Kensington on the 20th of May last. A quarrel took place between the prisoner and the deceased, in which the fatter struck the first blow, a fight took place between them, and whilst the deceased was on the ground the prisoner kicked him vio lently on the right side, and also stamped and knelt upon his chest. Several persons interfered, and the deceased afterwards complained of so much pain that he was taken to the West London Hospital, where he died. The jury found the prisoner guilty. Mr Justice Crompton, in passing sentence, said the pri soner had already been in prison for a month, and, there fore, he should only sentence him to five months' impri sonment, with hard labour. TRH < , 3 - r aI.TALZia • .1.10,_ Mais.Barbara Catherine WilsOn surrendered to an indict ment, charging her with unlawfully intermarrying with Captain Le Runt Wilson—her former husband, Jonathan (lotobed, being alive. Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prosecution, and Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Giffard defended. The facts of this extraordinary case have been repeatedly published in The Sun during the examination of the de fendant at Bow-street Police-court. It will be recollected that the defendant at that inquiry was stated to have been married in August, 1848, to Jonathan Gotobed, who then carried on the trade of a builder at Islington, the defendant being then about 16 years of age, and the daughter of a farmer in Essex. The marriage took place at Brentwood, according to the Roman Catholic faith. Previous to which Mr. Gotobed had been to Canada. Some time after that he went t o Toronto, leaving the defendant in this country, when she assumed the theatrical profession ; and in the year 1858, when engaged at Northampton, she became acquainted with Capt, Wilson, who was possessed of considerable property, and they were ultimately married at St. Pancras Church, the defendant representing her name to be Barbara Cathe rine Gotopeed Morris. The case was proceeding when we went to press. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) POST OFFICE CASES. A letter-carrier, named Smith, who yesterday pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing two letters containing coin, the property of the Postmatter General, was sentenced to four years' penal servitude. Bowdier, another letter-carrier, also received a similar sentence fcr the like offence. James Oram, a supernumerary letter carrier, who was yesterday found guilty of secreting and delaying the de livery of nearly 400 letters, was sentenced to 12 months' im prisonuient. CHARGE OF ARSON. John Cotterell, 21, labourer, was indicted for feloniously and maliciously setting fire to a paper mill, the property of William Murray, at Wandsworth. The evidence in this case was of a circumstantial nature. The prisoner had been employed by the Messrs. M. Murray, but was discharged in February last. The firs was dis covered about half-past two in the morning of the 11th of May in • the finishing room of the mills where the paper was packed up in reams. It was fortunately extinguished before any serious damage was done. The case against the prisoner was that he was seen loitering about the premises shortly before the fire broke out, that he had some lucifer matches in his posses . 'ion, which were rather of a peculiar description, a portion of one of a similar description being found in the warehouse, and by means of which the fire had originated. the jury acquitted the prisoner. THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) BURGLARY. Timothy Cronin and William Travers were indicted for feloniously breaking into a co-operative store in Surrey street, Southwark.

ASCOT RACES....THIS DAY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The attendance of visitors to-day at Ascot Heath exceeded all expectations, and despite the absence of the Queen the crushing and crowding in the Grand Stand' enclosure was as uncomfortable as on all former occasions. The day was gloriously fine, and erratic husbands who had not taken their wives to Epsom found no excuse in the weather not to fulfil their promise to accom pany them to Ascot. Windsor was, perhaps, less lively than usual, and, as a natural consequence, the Hymen less extortionate in their demands ; but under the circumstances, the " harvest" must have, been above an average: The Great Western Railway afforded ample facilities for the residents of the west end of the town to make a trip to Ascot, and their arrangements were of the most satisfactory description. The London and South Western, how ever, had the great bulk of the traffic, and nothing could exceed the regularity with which train after train was despatched. Ladies this morning took their seats with as much ease as they would at the Opera, and at the close of the journey they emerged from the carriages looking as fascinating and attractive as if they had but that moment left their boudoir. From ten o'clock this morning until about noon the platform at the Waterloo-station was thronged with people, the variety of colour of the ladies' dresses glistening like a tulip-bed of different forms and shades. The officials of the company attended to the comforts of the voyageurs in person, and nothing but commendation was beard at the ar rangements, which were oarried out with the greatest order. The course at Ascot never appeared more crowded, and the Grand Stand was so fully at tended that it was with difficulty and no small aontcrtt 7 4. ...VI." Tr, nr pass from end to end. Disconsolate ladies had no resting-place; they could neither see nor be seen, for they appeared completely hidden in the mass of people who swarmed in every direction. The raised seats in the balcony and every avail able space from which a view could be obtained was occupied some time before the commencement of the proceedings, and the scene presented by the disclosure was picturesque beyond description. The principal feature of interest in the ring was the advancement of Carbineer to the rank of first favourite, and desertion of Asteroid by many of his most ardent admirers since his running on Tuesday. Many attempts were made to restore him to something like his former position, but the sup porters of Carbineer were firm in their selection, and 6 to 4 was freely taken about him.

There was a fair average supply of beasts oil sale in to•. day's market; nevertheless all kinds were in steady re quest, at fully Monday's currency, a few very superior Scots and crosses having realised 4s 10d per 81bs. Prime Downs and half-bred sheep commanded very full prices ; but heavy breeds moved off slowly, on former terms. The show of sheep was tolerably good, and the best Downs sold at 6s per 81bs. Lambs, the supply of which was large, were very dull, and 4d per 81bs lower than on Monday. The quotations ranged from 6s to 7s per 81bs. We have to report a dull sale for calves, owing to heavy imports from Holland, at barely late rates. Pigs and milch cows were very inactive, but not cheaper.

THE UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN MAIL DESPATCFITS.—The Inman Company's screw steamship City of Baltimore, with the United States and Canadian mails and a full complement of passengers, sailed from the Mersey yesterday (Wednesday) for New York, via Queens town. To-day (Thursday) the Canadian mail steamship Anglo-Saxon sails from Liverpool for Quebec, via Lon donderry, with the British America and United States mails. On Saturday next the Royal Mail steamship Scotia leaves the Mersey with the mails for New York, &c. The Europa, with dates from Boston to the 11th and Halifax to the 13th inst., is the next steamer due from America. As she is not one of the fastest vessels, she is not looked for at Queenstown before Sunday next. Her news will no doubt be of the utmost iroporteuw. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AUCTION-ROOM ROBBERY.—A man, who refused his name and address, but said he was a clerk, was charged with stealing a china vase and a bronze matchpot of the value of £6, from the auction-rooms of Messrs. Christie and Co., King-street, St. James's. Mr. Wm. Wareham, dealer in curiosities and antiqui ties, of 15, Castle-street, Leicester-square, said that on Friday last he bought a china vase of the pisoner for 10s., and in consequence of what he afterwards heard he took it to Messrs. Christie's, and left it there. Yesterday about three, the prisoner brought him a Japan bronze match.pot and asked him to purchase it, upon which he said to him, I bought a vase of you the other day." On the prisoner replying " Yes," he told him he must detain him, for it was stolen. He (Mr. Wareham) then sent for a constable and gave the prisoner into custody. Henry Edward Taylor, clerk at Messrs. Christie's, E aid the vase brought back by Mr. Wareham was taken from the auction rooms during a sale on the 13th, and they had missed a large match-pot like the one produced from the sale room subsequently. As there is reason to suppose the prisoner has paid visits to other auction rooms with a similar result, he was re manded. ASSAULTING A SOLIeITOR.—Mary Ann Clark, a low looking female, was charged with assaulting Mr. Horace John Semple, solicitor, of '2l, Duke-street, Manchester square. Mr. Semple said, at half-past one this morning, the pri soner accosted him in Cranbourne-street, soliciting him to accompany her. Feeling very much annoyed by the pri soner he walked away, but she still followed him. Thinking by crossing the street he should get rid of her, he did so ; but she again, in Leicester-square, came up to him, and thinking he felt a touch at his watch chain he pushed her away, when she struck him in the face.

CRUEL ROBBERY.—A singular, wild-looking, dirty fel low, named Richard Brooks, and Eliza Brooks his wife, who carried a fine infant in her arms, were brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing an old purse contain ing £4 7s. the monies of a young woman named Bridget Coffey. • The case was a very singular one. The parties live in an Irish colony in Blue Anchor-yard, Rosemary -lane. The prisoners, the prosecutrix, her married sister, and the husband of the latter, all slept in one room, in a lodging-house rented by the Smiths, which, though open to all corners, is reported to be the cleanest and best conducted in the district. The room was partitioned off; there were three beds in it—one was occupied by the prisoners, another by Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and the third by the prosecutor, who acted as servant to her sister. Bridget Coffey said she left Ireland and managed by the greatest frugality to save £4 7s. She car ried her savings about her in the day time and deposited them every night when she went to bed under her pillow. " Last Sunday night was four weeks," said the girl, " I put my purse and my gold, and all my silver under the pillow, apd next morning it was gone." In answer to questions by Mr. Woolrych, the simple minded Irish girl said, "I never suspected anybody yer hanner's wortchip, and little did I think Brooks and his wife would rob me. They were in bed when I missed my money." I ; Francis Kelly, a police-coestable, No. 130 H, who has had great experience of his country people in this country, said the prisoner and his wife had been mendicants ever since they left Ireland. They had been daily intoxicated since the robbery. The prisoners said they were as innocent as the babe unborn of taking the girl's money, and that Bridget Coffey had been to a fortune• teller, who said they stole the money, and the fortune-teller told a lie. Mr. Woolrych—lt was a very wicked and cruel act t rob this girl of all her hard earnings—a most detestable act. I must remand the prisoners fora week, BRITISH NATION LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. The ordinary annual general meeting of the direc and proprietors was held yesterday afternoon at the new offices of the society, 316, Regent-street. George Bermingham, Esq., chairman of the board of directors, presided. _ sassts a been disposed of, Mr. Lake, the manager, read ties ar,se,,,,s tepurt tor the past year, as follows : " The directors, in submitting to the proprietors the fol lowing report, have again to congratulate them on the pro gress and prosperity of the association. " During the year ending the 31st March last, the direc tors received the following in new business :-3,003 pro posals for the assurance of £612,355, and issued 2,356 plicies for the assurance of £483,743, giving a new annual premium income of £16,364 58 sd. During the year the association has also acquired by pur chase a further new income of £23,000 per annum. The annual revenue from policies in force is £136,965 lOs lid. The invested funds and property, irrespective of the sub scribed capital, amount to £257,861 17s. 7d., and the an nual revenue on the same is £9,865 Os. 2d. The gross annual income, therefore, from all sources, is £146,830. "The claims by death during the year were upon 276 po licies assuring £55,853 16s. 7d. " From the revenue account it will be seen that there is a surplus on the year's transactions of £20,991 9s. in favour of the association, being the excess of income over claims by death and expenses of every description. Annuities involving payments to the amount of £1,207 Bs. 4d. per annum have fallen in during the financial year by the deaths of nine annuitants, and two reversions have also fallen in. The association has by these incidents benefited to the extent of £11,398 in present value. "The directors recommend that the usual interest of £5 per cent. per annum be paid on the paid-up capital to the 31st of March last, the close of the financial year, which may be received on and after the Ist of August. 6 ' The directors who retire by rotation are, Col. Hammill, and Messrs. Anderson, Clarke, and Smith, who, being eli gible, are recommended by the board for re-election. The auditors also retire, but are eligible for re-election. " The time having arrived for an actuarial inves tigation of the affairs of the association, the directors have caused the necessary arrangements to be made for that purpose, and the result of such investigation will be communicated to the share holders as soon as it has been completed. To those, how ever, who are aware of the labour involved in the valuation of upwards of 16,000 policies, it will be obvious that some months must elapse before the result can be communicated. The directors feel that they have cause to congratulate the proprietors on the acquisition of offices so admirably fitted for the requirements of their large and increasing busi ness. The details connected with such an extensive business as the receipt of more than sixty life proposals each week, together with an ineelF e amounting to nearly £150,000 per annum, demand a careful organisation of labour.

The GuAIWILAST, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting on the success that had attended their operations during the year just closed. During that period they had received no less than 3,003 proposals for new assurances, and the number of new policies issued amounted to no less than 2,356, amounting to £483,743, which gave a new annual premium income of £16,364 ss. sd. (Cheers.) The annual revenue of the company from policies in force amounted to £136,965 10s. lid., and this, with the i nves ted funds and othe r p ro p er ty, irrespective of the sub scribedLl46 ,O. 83 capital, gave the society a gross annual income of The business transacted by the society was of the best and safest description; they sedulously avoided all those alluring temptations held out by assurance companies, and by so doing they had attained a position amongst the most solid, the most reliable, and the safest assurance companies in the metropolis.;,(Hear, hear.) They for the first time meet in their new offices, and all would agree with him that more commodiotis premises for the transaction of their busi ness could not have been selected. They had now the means of transacting any amount of business, and he hoped that all the proprietors would individually assist in enlarg ing the sphere and augmenting the income of the British Nation Assurance Society. (Cheers.) The motion for the adoption of the report was carried unanimously. The retiring directors,- viz., Col. Hammill, Messrs. Anderson, Clarke, and Smith, were unanimously re-elected. A cordial vote of thanks to the directors, and to Mr. Lake, the manager, concluded the business of the meeting. After the business of the day was disposed of, the new offices of the society became the subject of general conver sation, all agreeing that a more convenient, spacious, and elegant suite of offices did not exist. The company appears, either from choice or necessity, to have ignored the usual palatial elevation, and contented itself with a portico surmounted by a piece of stone sculpture represent ing Britannia holding a shield over a widow and child—the noble British lion keeping watch at the feet of our national protectress. Unambitious, however, as the exterior may be, as regards any attempt at rivalry with other edifices of r ecent design, the interior is perfect ; admitting the most entireuech ga nisation that can be required for alife business very ISt r rAt top:: rangersul a r it on larger even than the con:pan y is now doing.

He thought the bill now before the house and that he (Mr. Newdegate) proposed should be referred to a select committee. Sir G.

A forest keeper named Poitrinaud had frequently occasion to complain of the encroachments of a small farmer named Duds, who frequently drove cattle on to the property under the keeper's care. This had given rise to such a feeling of hatred on the pas t of Duris that Poitrinaud had at length become alarmed, and on the morning of the murder had expressed a fear that Purls might do him some harm. Dulls concealed himself, armed with a gun, behind a hedge by which ho knew Poi.. trinaud must pass. The latter arrived shortly after, and, on passing before the spot where his enemy was concealed, paused to light bis pipe, when Duris fired, and the ball passed through his left cheek and brain. Thais then ru shed forward and battered the head of the lifeless body with the barrel of his gun until it had bent in his land ; he then used the butt end until it broke, and afterwards employed his heavy wooden shoe for the same purpose.
