T 1 r 31,4 R 7' N CI T NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week represent that business, in most de partments. has continued inactive. At Leeds, ho w r, there has been a fair number of dealings in cloy Its for the French and Canadian markets. The operations in yarns and cloths at Manchester have beer: cn the mos, restricted scale, but a pressure of sales lißs caused a slight decline as regards values. Al Bradford, Huddersfield, and Rochdale, there bas been an average business in seasonable goods, while rather more activity has prevailed in the hosiery and lace trades at Leicester and Notting ham. In the hardware districts, viz., at Birming ham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolverhampton, no material change can be reported in the general progress of business. The committee of the six associated Australian banks, on behalf of the Colonial Government, have announced a further issue of Victoria Railway Debentures to the extent of £1,600,000, being the mmaining portion of the loan authorised to be - raised under the act of the Legislature, passed in 1857. Tender's must be sent in before the 28th instant, accompanied by a deposit of 5 per cent. on the sums applied for. The debentures will bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent., dating from the Ist of April next. Increased quietude was apparent in the Liver pool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices tended downwards. The sales were only about 2,000 bales. About £25,000 was withdrawn from the Bank on Saturday. There is very little inquiry for discount accommo dation either at the Bank of England or in the general market. The supplies of floating capital still being excessive there is an active competition fnr the bills brought into circulation, and in order to secure business the joint stock and private establish ments willingly accept 4 toe per cent. less than the Bank rate, if the paper presented for negotiation is of a very superior description. The 17th ordinary meeting of the English, Scot tish, and Australian Chartered Bank was held at the offices, 73, Cornhill, to-day, when a dividend at tb e rate of six per cent. per annum, free of income lax, on £500,000, the paid-up capital of the bank, was unanimously agreed to. Thtre was a meeting to-day of the creditors of Mr. T. Mansbridge, warehouseman. The liabilities were estimated at £25,015, and the assets £15,704. The meeting resolved to adjourn to enable the debtor to find a security to guarantee 10s. in the Pound, the probable amount that the assets will :realise, or, failing this, it was resolved to adjudicate `the ease in bankruptcy. The market for Public Securities to-day has been clull and depressed. Continuous sales, chiefly on Speculative account, have caused a decline of abut per cent., Consols, which closed on Saturday at (11 931, now being 92?- 4 / for money and the 6th 'proximo.

THE ROAD MURDER.—A paragraph has recently appeared, stating that the metropolitan detectives have lately been at Road making inquiries and conferring with the tounty police on the subject of the murder of Francis :S'aville Kent. We have authority for contradicting the statement as far as the metropolitan police are concerned. The persons referred to were probably in the service of a gentleman who recently applied to the Home Secretary for a detective to be sent down from Scotland-yard to explore a theory which he has conceived in reference to this extra ordinary case. The application was, however, refused. The county police visited Road to ascertain who the unknown persons were, but they are said to h. ,ve returned without having gained any satisfactory information. LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

Fine barley and oats commanded extreme currencies, but other kinds of produce were a slow sale. Scarcely any change has taken place in the value of pro duce in the French markets. Both wheat and flour have ruled easier in America, owing to a falling off in the export demand. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were very mo lerate. The imports from abroad were 46,464 quarters of wheat, 27,847 barley, 34,896 oats, 250 beans, 7,191 peas, 3,700 tares, 14 862 linseed, 14,181 rape seed, 50 sundry seeds, and 65,972 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat, fresh up t, this morning's market was very small, but the condition of the samples, generally speaking, was good. The trade, however, both for red and white qualities was by no means active; never theless, the trade must be considered firm, at the decline in the quotations noticed on Monday last. There was a large show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands. Compared with this day ae'nnight, no quotable change took place in the currencies, but wo must remark that there was a decidedly increased amount of business transacted in nearly all descriptions. Floating cargoes of grain ckanged hands to a moderate extent, and prices were fairly maintained. In the barley trade less firmness was observed, and a decline of is per qr. was submitted to in order to effect sales. This reducticn applies more particularly to malting qualities. In malt very little was doing, on former terms. Oats commanded a fair sale, and the currencies were steadily supported. The supply on offer was only moderate. With beans we were tolerably well supplied, and all descriptions moved off slowly, at about previous rates. Peas were in limited supply and fair request, at late currencies. TALLOW. The flour trade was firm as regards prices, with were well supported. Sales, however, progressed slowly. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was a enmity supply of foreign stock here, to-day, and the demand for it ruled somewhat active, at enhanced quotations. The quality of the foreign sheep was very good. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were limited in number, but in prime condition. Those from Scotland ware seasonably good—from Ireland only moderate. All breeds were in good request, at an advance in the quotations of from 2d to Id per 81bs, at which a clearance was easily effected. The best Scots and crosses sold at from 4s to 5s per Sibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,800 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland 330 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 130 oxen and heiferS. _ We were again scantily supplied with sheep ; 'but, for the most part,'they were in improved condition. All breeds were in good request, at quite 2d per 81bs more y. Trio best Downs and half-breds realised 58 6d pez 81bs. Calves—the supply of which was limited—moved off freely, at fully Thursday's advance in the quotations. The best calves sold at 5s 8d per Slbs, Some small porkers moved off steadily, at full prices.

All good and fine hops, of English growth, are in steady request, at full currencies, but inferior qualities, as well as foreign hops, move off slowly, on former terms. Last week's imports were —1,387 from New York, 60 Antwerp, 21 Hambro', 15 flarburg, 24 Osttnd, 4 Calais, and 22 from Boulogne. New MM and East Bents 170 s to 231 s per cwt.

The supplies of home-grown potatoes on sale at these markets are moderately extensive, but the general condi tion of the samples is not ♦ery first-rate. All good and prime qualities, consequently, move off somewhat freely, at extreme rates; otherwise, the trade is in a sluggish state, at about late currencies.

Since our last report a fair business has been transacted in most kinds of home-grown wool, and prices have been well supported.

The trade is dull, and, in some instances, prices have TEE .11 CASE. This morning, the Master and Jury resumed the in quiry at the Sessions-house, Westminster. The Master informed the counsel on either side that he adhered to his intention of not allowing Mr. Windham to be examined in public, as ho believed such a course would defeat the ends of justice. Ho had looked carefully into the authorities, and had the high authority of the late Lord Campbell for the determination at which he had arrived. No comments on the Master's decision was made by counsel, Sir Hugh Cairns being absent. The Rev. Edward Beecher of Beavan was called and ex amined by Mr. Milward, who said this was the last witness to be called of a general nature. The only remaining evi dence would be medical. Mr. Beavan said he was at pre sent the curate of Shipton Beauchamps, Somerset. Mr. Windham was introduced to him at the beginning of 1858. He had heard that Lord Alfred Hervey wished to engage a travelling tutor for a short time for Mr. Windham. He had several interviews with Lord Alfred Hervey, and it was at first proposed that they should go abroad. All the passports were obtained, but when they were on the eye of starting Lady Sophia Giubelei preferred that they should travel in the United Kingdom. They first went into North Wales, thence to the lake district, thence to Scotland, re turning through Durham and York to London. They were travelling for a month, and then passed a week with Mr. Windham at Felbrigg, when he finally left. They went out several times together. On the whole Mr. Windham was certainly of sound mind. Ilis manner was on some occasions blustering and boisterous. Cross-examined by Mr. Chambers—He thought people who witnessed his conduct noticed it, but never complained. I did not appear to be offended at it. He was fond of boast. in„ of his peat wealth, and making much of himself, chiefly to people of a lower class, waiters, servants, and others. He did not believe that Mr. Windham's capacities were below par, but that his apparent intellectual condition was attributable to defective education. By a Juryman—He thought that these proceedings would have a good effect upon Mr. Windham, A vast number of letters on all sorts of subjects written by Mr. Windhamt o various persons were read, to show the consistency and coherence of his thoughts and his mental soundness. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lords Justices of Appeals.) APPEAL-JUDGMENT.-M'LARTY V. MIDDLETON. This was an appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor Sir R. I', Kindersley, on his chief clerk's certificate, declaring that the bills drawn by Bland and Middleton, in Liverpool on M‘Larty, Middleton and Company, of Gibraltar, at three months, which was equal to ready money, and remittances made by M'Larty, Middleton, and Company, to Bland and Company, were in satisfactiUn of the.mortgage debt (£3,362, and other sums mentioned in the certificate) on the ships Rosiana and Shumiack, the property of the Liverpool com pany, who became bankrupt in 1856. Lord Justice Turner, on considering the facts of the case and the evidence produced, came to the same conclusion as the Vice-Chancellor, and was of opinion that the order of the Vice-Chancellor was right and ought not to be disturbed. Lord Justice Knight Bruce was of a control) , opinion, and considered that it was competent to prove that value was not given for the bills drawn, aad wished to hear coun sel on that point, but as his learned brother Lord Justice Turner was of the samo opinion es Vice-Chancellor Kin dersley, their opinions must be the decision of the court. Their lordships affirmed the decision of the Vice-Chan cellor, and dismissed the appeal without costs, ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) JUDGMENT-IN RE TONGUE'S ESTATE -NICHOLSON V. TONGUE. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—This is a summons from Chambers, and the question to be deter mined is to whom a considerable amount (£1,172 lls. 4d.) of gold and silver coins, which were found in the house of Sarah Tongue at the time of her death, belonged—whether it belonged to her estate or the estate of Mary Rogers, with whom she lived for many years before her death. I con sider on the evidence that the accumulation was part of the estate of Sarah Tongue. The question I have to determine is, to find whether the spirit of hoarding was greater in Sarah Tongue or Mary Rogers. His Honour was of opinion that the balance of evidence was in favour of Sarah Tongue. She had gifts given her from time to time of considerable sums, and she possessed the means of hoarding if she desired it, and the money was found in her house, and it was presumed to belong to her. The onus probmnds lay on the next of kin of Mary Rogers to prove that it belonged to her, which they have failed to do. His Honour declared the money found to belong to the estate of Sarah Tongue, and ordered £32 to be paid for the furniture with costs to Mr. Nicholson up to the time of his death, but no costs in the suit to either p rty. POLICE 1N T.EL L IGEN CE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A PAWNBROKER COMPLIMENTEi):—Two lads named George and John Lyle, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : Mr. Philip Fry, pawnbroker, of 2, Crown -street, Soho, said on Saturday evening the prisoners came into his shop and offered 7 cigar oases for sale. Seeing they were quite new ho asked them where they got them from, and the pri- soner George said they had won them at a raffle in Some: s town that evening. Not believing their statement, he said he should detain them till they gave a better account of how they became possessed of them. The prisoner John then said he was not going to bounce them out of them, and on his saying he would send for the police, John said, " Give us three back and you can keep the others," and on his telling them that he did not do business in that way, George said to his brother " Then we will step it ;" but he gave them into custody. The prisoners now said they picked the cigar cases up in Regent-street. Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho had no doubt the cases had been taken from some cigar shop, and he should therefore remand the prisoners for a week. The pawnbroker, it was only pro per for him to say, had done very well in the matter. ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL " RUN" OF THE AMERI CAN BLOCKADE.—Another evidence of the insufficiency of the Federal blockade of the Southern American ports, is afforded by the arrival at Bristol, yesterday, of a vessel called the Robert Bruce, Captain Muir, which has suc ceeded, in company with another vessel of still larger ton • nage than her own, in running the blockade at Wilming ton. The Robert Bruce has brought home a cargo of spirits of turpentine, which is of course of great value to her owner. Her captain states that they got out without molestation. It is believed that some representation on the matter will be made to her Majesty's Government in the course of a day or two, as there can be no question that a blockade, in order to entitle it to the respect of neutral Powers, must be effective. At the Court of Bankruptcy, on Saturday, a meeting was held under the 185th section of the Bankruptcy Act, 1861, in the case of Mr. Peter Morrison, and a resolu tion was come to under the 110th section suspending the proceedings in bankruptcy, and adjourning the meeting un til Ist February, when the resolution will be submitted to the general body of creditors for confirmation. RAILWAY POINTSMEN.—The directors of the E 'astern Counties Railway Company, among various im provements in the management of the line now in course of being effected, have determined on a reduction of the daily duty of the men who have charge of the points, awl a no tice with that object in view was issued last week. The important service intrusted to these men will be more effi ciently performed under these new regulations, and the concession will be highly appreciated during the present severe weather. SHERIFFS' COURT.—CROOK V. FULLER. The amount recovered against the plaintiff, and costs, in the above case, which was heard last Friday, should have beet £6l ss. (not £6lB, as appeared in The Sun). Mr. Crook sued for £49 195., part of the £6l 55., abandoning the difference to enable him to try his right under the City Small Debts Act, which extends to any sum not exceeding £5O. GOOD SERVICE PEN SIONS.—The five good service pensions of £lOO each, vacant by recent deaths, a nd the appointment of officers to regimental colonelcies , have been distributei among the following officers :—Major-General W. B. Ingilby, Royal Artillery; Major-General J. IL Bain brigge, late Fort-Major at Guernsey; Colonel the Earl of Longford, K .C.B. ; Colonel E. R. Wetherall, C. 8., now Chief of the Stall in Canada; and Col. G. Vaughan Max well, C,8,, 88th Regiment. -- Army and Navy Gaze*. 1858. 1859. 1860. 1861. 1862.

Speculation is remarkably quiet. Even the publication of tho weights for the Chester Cup has not, so far, found any employment for the metallics. The general opinion is in favour of the handicap ; but offers on the field take so wido a range it would be folly to quote them. There is oc casionally a transaction booked on the Derby and Two Thousand, and any advance upon the odds on the favourites would find customers, An offer was made to take 9to 2 against Old Calabar, and six and a half fifties were booked about The Marquis for the latter event. The 'Waterloo Cup exhibits little change. The books have nearly all been had upon the favourites, and very few outsiders are touched upon.

LYTHAM, Jan. 18.—Yesterday morning, during a gale of wind anal thick tog, the schooner Chance, of Preston, struck on the Horsebank. In consequence of the wind and sea increas ing her crew, consisting of only two men, failed entirely to get her off. To save their lives they took to their own boat, which fortunately safely brought them to Lytham. As soon as the alarm was given, the lifeboat of the Na tional Lifeboat Institution was launched, and taking the shipwrecked men with them, her crew soon reached the wreck. After considerable labour and difficulty the lifeboat crew succeeded in getting off the vessel; and as the tide rose, she was luckily brought safely into port by tbe next tide. The Lytham lifeboat has, during the last few yeais, B kipwrecked crews been the means of saving the following —Brought the schooner E. D., of Salcombe, and her crew of five men, into port; saved six men from th orn e the b brigantine en n ßobert and Henry, of Dundalk ; bri gantine Hannah Jane, of London saved the fiat Turn er , o f ; nine men from the gantine Nancy, of Teignm outh ; Preston, and her crew of four hands. D U NDALK, Tan. 17.—Last night the schooner Rook, of Liverpool, struck, during a heavy south-easterly gale, on Dundalk bar. The lifeboat of the N a ti ona l Life boat Institution immediately launched and proceeded to her assistance. She found the schooner thumping heavily on tke san d s . As soon as a communication had been formed between the lifeboat and the schooner, two of the lifeboat crew jumped on board. Renewed exertions was thereupon made to save the vessel, which fortunately were successful, and she was got off the banks, and piloted safely into port. The surf rolled very heavily on the beaks, and in the ab sence of the valuable services of the National Institution's lifeboat, the probability is that, by next morning, a fearful scene would have been witnessed on these dangerous sands, by the destruction of the vessel, and the drowning of her unhappy crew. DESPATCH OP MAILS.—The British and North American Royal Mail steamer Africa was despatched from Liverpool for New York o a Saturday. She took out the mails for British North America, United States, Bahamas, and Havana. The next mail despatch to America from Liverpool will be on Wednesday by the Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Company's steamer City of Balti more, TEE BLO' KING-UP OF CILARLIS7 0 AT. The follO\Nlitig correspondence has passed between the Liverpool Shipowners' Association and the Foreign-Office:— " Shipowners' Association, Liverpool, Jan. 13. "My Lord—lt has come to the knowledge of the Liverpool Shipowners' Association, through trio public prints, that the Federal Government of trio United States have sunk a stone squadron in the main channel of Charleston harbour. This pro ceeding cannot fail seriously and permanently to injure the entrance to that harbour. The Associa tion fears that, unless strong representations And remonstrances arc promptly made, a similar course maybe immediately followed in the case of the other harbours of the Confederate States. The Assceia tion does not think it necessary to dwell at length on the importance of this question, as affecting the general interests of commerce, but feels called upon as representing an important interest, to adclicSs your Lordship on the subject. I am, therefore, in structed by the association respectfully to press this matter on your lordship's earnest consitioi l . tion.-1 have the honour to be, my Lord, your L'oidship'S most ot.eclient laninble servant, "FRANCIS A. CLINT ; Chairman. " To the Right Hon. Earl Russell, ' Foreign-offi'ee, London." " Foreign-office, Jan. 15. " Sir,--I am directed by'Earl Russell to acknow ledge the receipt 'of the letter on behalf of the Liverpool Shipowners' Association, you addresed to him on the 13th inst., calling his attention to tho course which the Federal Government of the United states have adopted for closing the main channel of Charleston harbour by sinking there vessels laden with stone, and expressing the fear of the Associa tion that unless strong representations and remon strances ere promptly made a similar course may be immediately followed in the case of the other harbours of the Confederate States. I am to re quest that you will state to the Liverpool Ship owners' Association that the attention of her Ma. jesty's Government was at once attracted by the rumours which obtained currency some weeks ago of such a course as that to which you refer being contemplated by the Government of the United States, and on the 20th of December her Majesty's Minister at Washington was informed of the view of it by her Majesty's Government. Lord Lyons was told that such a cruel plan would seem to imply despair of the restoration of the Union, the pro fessed object of the war—for it never could be the wish of the United States' Government to destroy cities from which their own country was to derive a portion of its riches and prosperity. Such a plan could only be adopted as a measure of revenge and irremediable injury against an enemy. Lord Lyons was further told that even as a scheme of embit tered and sanguinary war such a measure would not be justifiable. It would be a plot against the commerce of all maritime nations, and against the free intercourse of the Southern States of America with the civilised world. Lord Lyons was desired to speak in this sense to Mr. Seward, who, it was hoped, would disavow the illegal project. Now, however, that the project seems to have been car ried into effect at Charleston, Lord Lyons will be instracted to make a further representation to Mr. Seward, with a view to prevent similar acts of de struction in other ports.—l am, sir, your most obe dient servant, " E. HAMMOND. F. A. Clint, Esq., Sec." L I TEI?AI URE. _Forest Keep, Three Vols. Hurst and Blackett. This is a tale of singular originality, and great ingenuity is shown in its construction. The sane is laid five hundred years ago, in the martial days of the Black Prince. It is not, strictly speaking, an historical romance, since the actors in the story are fictitious characters, although the hero of Cressy and Poitiers is introduced, and some stirring scenes of the French campaign are described with anima tion and spirit. Prominent among these is the battle of Poitiers itself, with the capture of King John and his son. The tale, however, is quite cha racteristic of the times—wild adventure, desperate crimes, and resolute daring distinguishing both knights and dames. The extreme complication of the plot is more like an Italian romance than a legend of our own land, while the reader will not fail to admire the skill with which the various threads of the entangled skeins are by degrees un ravelled and woven together, joining in one the mysteries of France, Spain, and several parts of England. The care and painstaking exactitude of the author is also evinced by the precision with which he clears up every little obscurity which may have perplexed the reader in the earlier pages, although it may have afterwards been forgotten. It would be d' o fficult, indeed, for the most expe rienced novel-reader to divine the hidden secrets of t e plot or to conjecture the dark deeds of Sir Ralph de Sulac, the villain of the piece, and his remorseful accomplice, Inez di Gava. The author is evidently familiar with many of those poets and writers whose spirit-stirring songs have invested the middle ages with such potent attractions for the young and imaginative. He is acquainted, too, with the scenery described, for we are told in the preface that " the tourist through Western Somerset may yet recognise in a narrow meadow by the wind ing Exe the crumbling walls of Bralynch Abbey, and trace the ruins of the Reformer's Chapel in a deep gorge by the seashore, about a mile to the west of Minehead Point." The Castle of Redstun, which owned such an unworthy ruler in the days when the Lady Beatrice was carried there captive, still stands, it is said, in feudal dignity ; and in the Vale of Argellez, near the Pyrenees, are the old towers of the stately keep, which witnessed Wil fred's incarceration, his narrow escape from death in many ghostly forms, and the murder of his mother by her own sister's hands. The writer's mistake is in introducing reflections or remarks in the style of the present day. In the story itself a degree of unity is preserved, but when the author teps in and alludes to the events of our own times and adopts the easy modern tone, the illusion is lestroyed, which, in a work of historical character, it is so important to preserve. A novelist who se lects for his subject the scones and characters of a bygone age, should study to preserve his consistency throughout. He should depend entirely on the story itself e a v n e rd itsmake on t h e transition accessories t o from interest the mthaennreeardseorf one reader, but age to another, fo r th e rea d er ma k es the passage never with him, and does not always return when it pleases the author to pass again into the world of dreams. There is a d egree o f diff useness also which might be advantageously curtailed, and which is un worthy of an author who has so much to say, and should not, therefore, condescend to the resources of less ingenious writers. It is the more desirable that these defects may be avoided, as the author pos sesses undeniable ability, and will probably, with time and experience, produce works of a higher character. We must not omit to mention that seve ral ballads are scattered through the Volumes which possess conside rable merit. TILLS DA 1"S SHIPPING. LONDON, Jan. 20.—Wind this day at noon—South.
