MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The demand for accommodation continues active, and a moderate discount business is now trans acted at the Bank of England. There is conse quently no immediate prospect of an alteration in the minimum rate, although the payment of the dividends may be followed by increased facilities, as a considerable addition will then be made to the resources of the market, and very little inclination is shown to encourage new undertakings that would have the effect of employing capital. The settlement of the speculative account in foreign railway securities has made favourable progrea., and as the :engagements have been of a limited character, the liquidation has not exerted much influence upon the inquiry for accommodation. The Ocean Chief has been announced this morn ing from Australia with specie to the amount of £40,648. Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market closed yesterday with a more active appear ance, and prices were unaltered. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales. In. Railway Shares a moderate business was transacted, and in quota tions no change of importance occurred. The Market for English Stocks opened firmly, and a few transactions were recorded at the latest prices current yesterday. Speculation, however, has not increased and extreme quietude conse quently prevails. Symptoms of buoyancy have nevertheless appeared, and an advance of fully per cent. is exhibited, Consols, which opened at 921 a being 92 1. A few purchases have been effected, and Foreign Stocks and Railway Shares all show an improving tendency. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities are firm at 931 a ; India Loan Debentures at 94 fa-; ditto Scrip at 931 ; and Long Annuities at 17Z,- 13-16; Exchequer Bills are 225. to 255. prem. The half-yearly meeting of the General Mining Association took place to-day, when a report was presented, in which the sale of Nova Scotia coal for the year 1858 was stated to be 228,565 tons. The directors, out of the profits of the last year's operations, paid, in January last, a dividend of 15s. per share, and were now enabled to announce a further distribution of 15s. per shale, making 30s. for the year 1858. There were some observations about the propriety of more detailed accounts being rendered to the meeting, but the report was adopted. Business in the Foreign Stock Market continues very quiet, and prices have advanced. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 75 to 77, being buoyant ; and the New are 60 to 62; but the 4 per Cents. are flat at 103 ; Mexican are firm at 18,1- ; Sardinian at 81 Spanish Deferred at 30i; and ditto Certificates at 3 1 1. Calls became due to-day of 20 per cent, on the Bombay and Baroda 5 per Cent. Debentures ; and of £1 53. per share, or £162,500, on the London, Brighton, and South Coast 44 per Cent. £5 shares. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1859. 1858. Great Western .

There is a decrease on the North-Eastern of £1,122 ; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, of £644 ; and on the Great Western of Canada, of £249. Business in the Railway Share Market has been moderately active, and in some instances prices have shown an upward tendency. North-British have improved ss. ; Great Northern and Great Western, lOs ; Midland, 10s. to 15s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, £1 ; and North-Western, £l. 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have been rather quiet. Lombardo-Venetian old shares have been at 71, and the New at 6-Z- 7. East Indian advanced to 101 and 1011 ; Great Indian Peninsula, to 971; Great Western of Canada are steady at 14-- 14.

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS. (Before the Lords Justices.) NELSON V. STOCKER-JUDGMENT APPEAL. This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, holding that the husband was bound by the covenants in the settlement. Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner considered that the defendant was not bound by the settle ment, and dismissed the bill without costs. PAYNE V. MORTIMER-APPEAL JUDGMENT. This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, holding that the defendant, on hia assign ment of the covenants to pay £5,000 on the bankrupt's daughter's marriage settlement, had no preference over the claims over the bankrupt's general creditors. Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner were of opinion that the original voluntary character of the deed granted without value followed the assignment of it for value, and created no preference over the other creditors of the bankrupt. Their lordships affirmed the decision of the Vice-Chan cellor, and dismissed the appeal with costs. POLICE IN2'ELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT ON A MARRIED FEMALE IN REGENT-STREET.—Mary Ann Cartwright, a low-looking female, was charged with the following outrageous assault on a respectable married female, named Williams, in Re gent-street. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the complainant. Mrs. Anne Williams, of 21, Robert-street, Hampstead road, the wife of a clerk, said that about ten o'clock the previous night, while walking up Regent-street near Tyler street, being at the time returning from her doctor's, the prisoner pushed up against her in a very rude manner, upon which she told her if she did so again she would give her into custody. The prisoner then made use of the vilest language towards her, got her on the ground, tore off her bonnet, and then pulled a quantity of hair from her head. She (complainant) kad at the time her watch-guard round her neck, and while on the ground she felt a tug ac it. The prisoner had another woman with her, who then commenced attacking her (complainant), striking her several blows on the head, causing her great pain, the marks on her face being inflicted by the prisoner, who acted with great vio lence. The prosecutrix, here turning round, said the other woman was sitting in court, upon which Mr. Lewis re quested that she might be put in the dock, which being done, she gave the name of Margaret Halloran. Miss Atkinson, who was with the complainant at the time, having corroborated the complainant, and proved seeing the woman Halloran strike Mrs. Williams several times, and described the assault as of a most violent na ture and quite unprovoked, the prisoners being entire strangers, Mr. Beadon committed them each for three months with hard labcur.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Atrato, Capt. F. Woolly, arrived this day at eleven o'clock from the West Indies, with the usual mails, in charge of Lieut. Semple, Admiralty agent. On her homeward voyage the Atrato experienced fine weather and north-easterly winds. The Atrato brings on freight 1.205,220 dols. on merchants' account, 1,009 serons of cochineal, 12 serons of Jalapa, £1,292 worth of pearls, 23 bags of cocoa, 48 barrels of ginger, 12 packages of vanilla, 11 packages of hats, 182 cases of cigars, 53 bales of tobacco, 50 cases of limes, 8 bales of sarsaparilla, 16 packages of copper ore, 4 cases of copper coin, 3 cases of silver ore, 14 jars of balsam, 6 cases of tortoiseshell, and 90 packages of sundries. RUPTURE WITH SANTO DOMINGO. The Consuls of Great Britain, France, and Spain, at Santo Domingo, arrived in Kingston, Jamaica, on Monday, the 30th ult. We learn that the Dominican Government had lately seen fit, in violation of existing treaties, to adopt an arbitrary measure by which a direct attack was made on the property of all foreigners, and which, if admitted, would have compromised all foreign interests in the country. A protest against th:s measure was addressed by the consular agents of Great Britain, France, and Spain, to the Dominican Government, which, not withstanding their great moderation, was twice returned to them in a most offensive manner. In fact, their right to protect the interests of the subjects of their respective Crowns was expressly denied. In consequence, the several Consuls were corn pelled to suspend all official relations with the Go. vernment of St. Domingo, and to leave the country . LITERATURE. The Lees of Blendon-hall : an Autobiography. By the author of " Alice Wentworth," &c. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. The peculiarly intricate style of this story will attract those readers who love the marvellous. There is something very painful in the idea of the step-father having murdered thelather of Alswitha. The various attendant circumstances are narrated with great skill, and there is an additional excite ment imparted to the sketch in consequence of the heroine's being of so tender an age when the awful event occurred. It was through her instrumentality that the fatal secret was at last discovered ; for, her memory having retained the events, her added sense enabled her to comprehend more fully the action that to her infant intelligence had seemed so strange. Her brother Godfrey is a fine charac ter, but he is too impetuous, and he occasioned much suffering by his needless violence, and there was too much revenge in his spirit, instead of merely seeking to let justice take its course. Owen Wyndham is a most despicable character. Apart from the crimes he committed, there is a meanness and malignity in his nature that is appalling. His brother Hugh is very different. It is to be re gretted that the author should have described him as the object of Alswitha's regard. It increases the confusion without adding to the interest. It jars upon the feelings, at the conclusion, to be informed that she was willing to unite herself to one who was connected with the murder of her father. Although he was violent, it is satisfactory to find Godfrey Lee, with his stern determination, come to the rescue, and, by his machinations, prevent so direful a catastrophe from occurring. There is retributive justice in the last page of the life of Owen ; and Hugh's fall at the battle of the Alma was a blessing to himself, for his existence had become intolerable to him. Neither can the early death of Alswitha be regretted. Her life had been one of trial, and death was her only true release. Altogether a most powerful story in its way is this record of sin, shame, and suffering ; and the skill of the writer of " Alice Wentworth" has suffered no eclipse in the compilation of these volumes. Through the Shadows. By the Author of " Sidney Grey." 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. The writer of this tale has formerly distinguished herself by some charming children's stories. It was evident, even from their pages, that the know ledge of character, the depth of feeling, and the clear unaffected style of the authoress was equally capable of pourtraying the joys and sorrows of older and darker years. She has proved herself fully competent to this task in the novel before us, whose mournfully expressive title is singularly appropriate. Unpropitious circumstances, uncon genial companions, and their own wilfulness or weakness, bring over the young hearts of the story heavy and abiding clouds, which throw dark shadows on their paths. All these sorrows are real and pressing, such as meet us at every turn in life, such as sit at every domestic feast "like the Egyptian skeleton, and press heavily on the hearts of the home circle, though the world without may know little of them. An unprin cipled youth whose reckless extravagance involves bim in crime ; a harsh and exacting rela tive who is constantly twitting those around her with want of gratitude for favours bestowed; a weak and irritable man, whose frenzied pursuit of failing speculations, renders his temper unbearable and his fortunes irretrievable; the constant pressing cares attending a small and encumbered income ; such are the chief troubles that overcloud the lives of Alice Earle and Ruth Brandon when we are first introduced to them. By and bye, the shadows thicken on their paths, but it would be injustice to the authoress to unfold the plot so briefly and incompletely. It is enough to say, her characters, though vividly drawn, are all lifelike ; and though the events of the story are not extravagant, they have an air of freshness and novelty about them that is not common in th• fic tions of the day. The plot is very ingeniously arranged, though neither complicated nor mysti cal. The reader has a dim perception from the first of the sorrow and suffering which will be the fruit of the wilfulness of Ruth, the weakness of Alice, the suspicious reserve of Sebastian, and the reck lessness of Frederick. Maxwell Earle, the brother of Sebastian and cousin of Alice, is one of the most attractive characters in the book; yet his suffering sentiment to usurp the place of principle, and his allowing himself to follow the claims of ideal self sacrifice, instead of the plain practical duty, brought bitter fruits to many. The character of Sebastion, though peculiar, is ably drawn. It is shown how the unpropitious influences of his child hood, his severance from his mother's love and household ties, weighed upon a nature both proud and sensitive, and impressed him with a morbid distrust of his power of inspiring affection which brought much subsequent suffering. The catastrophe of the story occurs in the second volume, but the interest of the reader is sustained till the close. The picture of Alice, gentle and mournful, tending with unceasing care the wants of her childish and querulous parent, yet ever with a pause in her labours looking with mental vision on the frost-bound ships, and the wide trackless ice which pitilessly shut out hope or explanation, lingers on the reader's memory. Ruth, the earnest and true hearted, whose great object in life was to shield sorrow from those she loved, brought on herself the heaviest punishment she could have devised by her rebellious refusal to bear the trial sent her. She resolved with all the strength of her determined nature that h er mo th er should be spared the knowledge of Frederick's crimes. On herself she said should be the consequences of the steps she took to avert it ; s h e was ready to face them, what ever th ey m i g ht be. She reaped the reward of th ose who defy the decrees of Heaven, and wilfully endeavour to shape their own destinies. Not on herself the consequences fell, but on those most dear to her. And, in the midst of the unavailing regret for sorrow which she had brought but could not take away, the gentle inyalid whom she had wished to spare died, with words of tender reproach on her t The ihnattuit"isoonmoef thing had been k e p t from the mother's lovew as H to a o r c r l i e e a t ris s ig f • h o t r e c d ib t l o y be baffled or deceived.

Many minor characters, each individual and peculiar, fill up the scene. Mr. Meyer and his son Harry , Caroline Bra ndon and her husband, Miss Dudleigh and her companion, are each se parate portraits, though on l y in outline. There is no question of the writer's power in construction of plot or delineation of character; the interest of the story, and the individuality of the dramatis per sax are sufficient proofs of her abilities in loth re spects. Her lessons are drawn fro m life, of whose trials and sufferings she has evidently seen much. The pure and straightforward simplicity of the unspoken moral of her pages, is only what might have been anticipated from the author of " Sidney Grey." Now through the toil and conflict of the troubled lives of men and women, she teaches the same truths ; of peace that comes through much patience ; of hope that rewards the upward looking spirit ; of faith, that crowns the heroism of suffering nobly borne : till learning the lessons of life and sorrow, the anxious heart, the wilful mind, the weak and craven spirit are led even by the troubles which they shrank from "out of darkness into light, through the shadows." MR. JUDGE BLAC4J3URA• We are not surprised to find that the appoint ment of Mr. Colin Blackburn to a puisne judgeship has given rise not only to much criticism but to much misrepresentation. Our contemporary —well informed on most subjects—too frequently, ' we re gret to say, fall s i n t o gr i evous error when it con descends to echo the l oose an d idl e goss i p of the robing-room. According to the Times Mr. Colin Blackburn is a gentleman totally unknown at the bar, who owes his promotion exclusively to the cir cumstance that he was born on the same. side of the Tweed as the Lord Chancellor. Nepotisin is not directly insinuated, but a foolish national prejudice is alleged as the probable cause which. induced Lord Campbell to select the learned gentleman. Here we may observe that in this United Kingdom separate nationality has never been considered a bar to promotion. In recent times Lord Campbell, a S co t c hman, an d L or d St. Leon ards, an Englishman, have held the office of - Irish Lord Chancellor. At the present moment the merits and learning of Ireland are re presented on the English bench by four judges—. Mr. Baron Martin, Mr. Justice Willes, Mr. Justice Hill, and Mr. Baron Watson ; and we have in the Court of Chancery one learned Vice-C Sir John Stuart, who is a Scotchman. The offence of separate nationality is one which we hope Mr. Colin Blackburn, in such good company, will manage to survive. But " who is Mr. Colin Black burn ?" is the question which the Times requires to be categorically answered. We will apply our selves to the task of supplying the information which our contemporary seeks. Mr. Colin Black burn was called to the bar in the year 1838, and therefore has been in practice for the space of twenty-one years. This fact was stated by the Times—the only particle of truthful text sur rounded by a large margin of error. Mr: Black burn, as the colleague of Mr. Ellis, has for several years discharged with industry and ability the im portant duties of reporter in the Court of:Queen's Bench. As a member of the Northern Circuit:he has had large business, chiefly in commercial cases, and we may say that at Liverpool his name has long stood first amongst the long list of „barristers in whom the merchants of that. great mart have confidence. Actions about shipping, bills of ex change, &c., involving difficult and unattractive points of law, are not the cases which bring the advocate prominently before the public. Asian may be the best case lawyer that ever lived, he may com mand the respect and esteem of the judges and of the profession, and yet his name m a y b e CO , paratively un known M to the general public. It is the ready and fluent speaker—the man who, by his eloquence, can wring verdicts from reluctant juries —who stands best with the public. But that Mr. Colin Blackburn is not so unknown, even in London, as the Times supposes, may be proved from the columns of the Times itself. On the sth of last May our contemporary published a report of the case of Hickie v. Rodocanachi, which was heard in the Exchequer before the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Martin, Mr. Baron Bramwell, and Mr. Baron Channell. The report states—" The case was fully and elaborately argued by Mr. Bovill (with whom was Mr. F. M. White) for the plain tiffs, and Mr. Colin Blackburn (with whom was Mr. Wilde) for the defendant. The Lord Chief Baron said that the Court would take time to con sider their judgment; but he would take the pre sent opportunity of saying—an opinion in which all his learned brethren con curred—that it was seldom the Court had an opportunity of listening to such able arguments as they had heard from the learned counsel on both sides." It is therefore quite clear, though the learned gentleman may be-un known " to the usher of the court," that his learn ing and abilities are fully appreciated by at least four able and distinguished judges. Mr. Colin Blackburn owes his promotion not to that absurd feeling of nationality which the Times suggests, but to his undoubted merits. It is understood tha, he was recommended to the Lord Chancellor:for the appointment on the ground of his learnt ing and acquirements as an aecomplished, commercial lawyer, although he may have no claim. to the fame and reputation of the more brilliantand superficial advocate, whose success in addressing a jury affords no real or secure test of capacity for judicial office. In this great commercial country it is obviously a matter of the highest importance that the common law judges should possess not only a competent but an ample, knowledge of the laws which regulate the various relations of trade. Mr. Colin Blackburn possesses this knowledge in an. eminent degree, and the selection of the learned gentleman, instead of being attributed to the most unworthy motives, ought in reality to be considered as an evidence on the part of the Lord Chancellor of his desire to place " the right man in the right place," without regard either_te political opinions or Parliamentary services.—Morning Post. DIPHTHERIA. The symptoms and treatment of diphtheria are attracting the careful notice of some of the more eminent of the medical profession ; and without doubt before long any uncertainty which now exists on the matter will be removed. Besides the man ner of treatment, it is most necessary to determine to what extent diphtheria depends upon sanitary conditions, and whether it can, like typhus fever, be attributed to bad drainage; want of cleanliness, overcrowding, and other arrangements prejudical to health. Dr. Ballard, the medi c al officer of health for the Islington district, has inquired into between 60 and 70 distinct cases which have oc curred in that neighbourhood ; and it appears that about one-half of these took place in the families of persons in good positions, occupying houses in which no imperfection of drainage or other faults could be discovered by the sanitary inspector. It must, however, be noticed that at the rate of 50 per cent. the houses were in ill-condition. It is noticed of this disorder that it has been most serious in the suburban and open neighbourhoods; it does not, however, in this respect differ from plague or cholera, which generally, like an invading army, skirmishes about the neighbourhood before it attacks the centre. In the city district, and in other populous parts, the number of cases of diph theria has been very few. It is necessary to men tion this in order that we may judge how much this complaint, in its present form, depends on malari ous influences, and howmuch on sanitary derange ments. In considering the condition of those dwellings in which deaths from this cause have occurred, in houses seemingly of a good order, we should not lose sight of the surrounding evils. Are there back slums and fever nests close by, although hidden from the view ? Are there pes tilential ditches or undrai ne d l ands near ? ", S ome of the French writer s on t hi s subject a ttzibute this disease to malaria, arising from fens, stag nant water, cesspools, and other s i m ilar causes. The condition of Boulogne, where diphtheria has destroyed so much life, is sufficient to account on sanitary principles for the outbreak which has ' taken place. We hope soon, by the facts which will be laid b e f ore the public, to know- I st, If this dan gerous infectious, and di se ase depends, to a large extent, on neglect of sanitary conditions. 2d, If it be can be transmitted from place to ' i place. 3d, If, by its prog r ess in o ther countr i es, it is likely t o be an epidemic here ; and 4th, What means would best put persons out of, dan , g er of such an enemy.
