MOIN CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There has been rather less demand for money to-day, as usual at the close of the week, but the rates continue firm, and the chief portion of the bills brought forward for negotiation is taken to the Bank of England. There were no bullion operations of public im portance at the Bank of England yesterday. The Mexican dollars by the last packet have been sold at ss. lid. per oz., being an advance of 4d. The Shannon which left to-day for the West Indies took out £28,.510 in specie. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited no change of importance ; there was a slight decline in the rate on Paris. The Persia from New York has brought £161,700 in specie. The London Flour Company have announced a dividend of 8 per cent. per annum, and a bonus of 2s. per share. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, business continued inactive, and prices were heavy. The sales were barely 3,000 bales. On the South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian Railway the traffic returns for the week ending the 6th inst. were £52,994, being an increase of £5,412 compared with the corresponding period of last year, The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail way of Canada, for the week ending the 2d inst., amounted to £9,702, against £9,285 last year. 'At the meeting of creditors of Mr. T. S worder, brewer, of Luton, it was mentioned that, although the brewery has been profitable, losses have been incurred by speculating in hops. Resolutions si ere carried, stating that it is not desirable to wind up under bankruptcy, appointing a committee of inte rim inspectors, and adjourning the meeting for a fortnight. It is understood that, in compliance with the wishes of the general body, the proceed- ings in bankruptcy taken by an individual creditor will be stopped by consent. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

The Aedieal Times and Gazette says :—Extra work tells on heart and lungs, on muscle and nerve fibre, more surely than upon d ea d ma t er i a l. N o one will be surprised to learn that hurried labour and exposure t o weather have been fruitful causes of disease amongst the operatives employed at the Internationed Exhibition. Were the registers of medical charities at the West-end of the town, examined, they wo u ld, we may rea dil y believe, give abundant evidence of the fact. But, apart from this, it is generally known that a large number of accidents have occurred amongst the "modal - tem. Dr. Aldis, one of the Medical Officers of H e alth f or S t. George's, Hanover-square, in a letter published in the Morning Post of May 9, draws attention to the numerous. cases of injury sustained at the Exhibition which have been taken to St. Ge( May 7, 18'‘62, sixty-seven c ases . of accident were From March 9, 1861, to admitted i nto the house . 11 nee ofthe . patients wore died . in the wards. brought i n dead, a n d: out-pa t i e nt the day —have Large numbers—as many aa ve t department. also been ti 'sated in the If this ho vpital is to be taken l ' a e r a Medical eh ' u * borne by very heavy tax must have been i m n ; o r, ple, a the .resources of the West-end - which tax will, of coarse, .have to be their committees and subscribers. We learn thaty St. Georg,e's Hospital has received a donatio n of a hundred g vineas from the Exhibition contractors ; but we believe that this sum will cover but a small part of the cost of relief given. The expense of one case of accident, at present in the hospital , which wag admitted in August last, would alone be a con siderable deduction. It is a matter of general experience that public works lay heavy burthens on hospitals and dispensaries—burthens which should in all fairness be sustained by those who are deriving direct pecuniary benefit from the Works, and not, as is usually the case, by the sup porters of the noighbouring charities. We know of an instance in which a labourer was injured by an explosion which occu rre d d ur i ng th e co nstruction of a railway within London. The man was taken to the nearest Hospital, where he remained about a twelvemonth. The expense was estimated at not less than £5O, for the patient took large quantities of wine and brandy. The contractor in whose service the man was working, generously presented the Hospit'al_with ten guineas The Great Eastern is advertised to leave New York for Englan d on the 31st inst.

This was a petition presented by the husband, praying far dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery. The marriage took place in Glasgow in 1841. In order to prove the fact, Mrs. M'Fee was called—She said I was present at the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Stoyle. It was performed accord • ing to the rules of the Scotch Church. Mr. Hill, counsel for the petitioner, asked the witness to tell the Court what took place when the marriage was per formed. Witness—Well, they did all that was usual. Counsel —What was that ? Witness—Why, they married. Counsel—Well, what was that ? Witness—Why, they were married in the usual form, of course. (Laughter.) The Judge—What did the clergyman say, and what did they do ? Witness—The clergyman says it all, and they have to make their obedience to him. Judge---Well, did they do so ? Witness—Of course they did. The Judge—Did they sleep together after they were married ? Witness—Of course they did. (Laughter.) Why shouldn't they ? (Laughter.) They were married. (Roars of laughter.) Don't you know, my lord, there's always great fun made at a bedding in Scotland. (Great laughter.) The Judge—Well, well, my good woman, I don't want to know about the fun that takes place at the " bedding" in Scotland—(laughter) —all 1 want to know is the facts of the case. Did they sleep together ? Witness—Why, of course they did. (Laughter.) The Judge—l don't want to know what they did of course. I only want to know whether they went to bed or not? 81 9 81 85 79 83 78 E 2 102 104 102 103 103/ 104 j 25 20 68 71 57 60 37 40 43 46 36 38 36 37 102} 11!)21 Witness—Well, then, they did. (Laughter.) Mrs. Boyd said she was present at the wedding of Mr. and Mrs, Stoyle. It was done in the regular way. Counsel—Well, will you tell the court what was done ? Witness—They were married. (Laughter.) The Judge—Yes, so the other witness has said. We want to know what was done at that ceremony ? Witness—Well, they did nothing. The Judge--What I did they not say anything ? (Laugh ter.) Witness—No Nothing is said by either party. The minister does all that. (Laughter.) The Judge—They must say something. Did you say nothing when you were married ? (Laughter.) I suppose you were married according to the Scotch law. Witness—Yes. (Laughter.) Well, when I was married the minister said the words. My husband then put a ring on my finger, and we then acknowledged oursely©s to be man and wife. The Judge—Well, was all that done when Mr. and Mrs. Stoyle were married ? Witness—Yes, of course it was. The Judge—Then why could you not say so when the gentleman asked you at first ? Mr. Anderson, Q.C., said—l am a member of the Scotch bar, and I have no doubt tjae marriage was legally per formed according to the law of Scotland. Witnesses having proved the adultery, The court decreed a rule nisi. SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.) BUCHANAN V. ALBERKY. This was an action upon a bill of costs, and the facts of the case may be well gleaned from the able judgment, written by Mr. Kerr, the judge of the court, and delivered by Mr. Sergeant Wheeler, sitting, to-day, as deputy judge : —" In this case the plaintiff seeks to recover from the defendant the costs of an action, brought at defendant's instance, in the Mayor's Court, to recover a debt of £5 Os 71d. Being 71d. over £5, the defendant was entitled to employ an attorney, and have the service of counsel, and recover the cost of so doing. The plaintiff here, who was her attorney, now seeks to recover £1 6s. 10d., his bill of costs for issuing the writ. Hitherto, in such cases, I have felt a difficulty in giving a plaintiff a verdict, as this court has nc means whatever of taxing a bill of costs for work done in the Mayor's Court, and I have not unfrequently exercised the powers conferred by the statute, and entered a nonsuit, thereby leaving the plaintiff to seek his costs against his own client in the court in which the work was done. lam re lie-ved of difficulty in this case, however, as it is proved that the defendant did not leave it to her attorney to bring the action in this (the Sheriff's Court), where unquestionably an action for £5 Os. 71d. ought to be brought. She expressly directed plaintiff to bring the action in the Mayor's Court, and cannot therefore complain of the expense incurred. I find, therefore, for the plaintiff, and I further make a special order under the seventh rule as to costs for the plaintiff's costs of suit. Mr. Buchanan attended, but no one was present for the defendant, though this is a most important question for the public, whose business may take them to the Mayor's Court. CRIMINAL COURT-TI-ITS DAY, OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) EMBEZZLEMENT. James Nicholls, a clerk in the employ of Messrs. Streeton and Co., pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzling certain monies, the property of his employers. The Recorder sentenced him to 9 months' imprisonment. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) James Martin, late a police-constable in the Metropolitan force, surrendered to take his trial on an indictment charg ing him with wilful and corrupt perjury on the occasion of a trial at Westminster, before Sir Cresswell Cresswell, in the Divorce Court, on the 14th M arch last. in a cause in which a M r. On being arraig ne d th e d e f en d an t plead e d no t guilty. w T h e h d e odf p o n w perjury se it c n h hge p a rg eex e t d ai tmi t o o inn t ee h rd, e defendant was on th e occa sionand Isabella Wheddon, his wife, was the respondent, and a man of the name of Smith was the co-respondent. Tho cause was instituted for the purpose of ' obtaining a divorce on the ground of adultery committed by:theirespondent with the co-respond dent Smith. The respondent put in an answer, and ap peared by counsel, but the the co-respondent did not appear. It became material to establish in evidence one specific act of adultery, alleged to have been committed by the respon dent with Smith on the 18th November, 1859, and for that purpose the defendant was called as a witness, and he then, on his oath, stated in substance, that on the night of the 18th November, 1859, he was in Newington-causeway with a person of the name of Hayes, and that they went together to a publichouse in that neighbourhood, and that while in that house the co-respondent, who was a porter in the establishment of which Hayes was the tra veller, came in accompanied by a female. The defendant stated that Smith and the woman remained some short time, and, after having partaken of some refreshment, they left. The defendant further swore that he followed them to a brothel in William-street, Newington-causeway, where they remained some considerable time. The defendant swore positively to Smith being the man, and with reference to the woman who was with Smith on the evening in ques tion, the defendant told the learned judge that he had been shown the respondent, Mrs. Wheddon, in Westminster Hall, the day before the trial, and that she was the woman who was with Smith at the public-house, and who went with him to the brothel on the 18th November, 1859, The defendant in his evidence had gone on to state that he had seen the same woman on the evening of the 23d December following, standing alone outside the Alhambra, in Leices ter-square, as if she were waiting for some person or another. Witnesses proved that the statement was untrue. The defence was that the perjury was inadvertently com mitted, the defendant having been made the tool of other parties. Tho jury returned a verdict of not guilty. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGHISTREET, THIS DAY. HTC*HWAY ROBBERY.—Henry Carnon, a painter, living in Hart-street, Covent-garden, was charged with stealing a gold chain, of the value of £3, from Matilda Gurney, a young woman, of 53, King-street, Soho, _ - The prosecutrix said the chain produced was her pro perty, and of the value of £3. About 2 that m trning she was walking along Regent-street, when the prisoner came up to her and asked her where she was going, and then her address. She told him she wanted to have nothing to say to him, when he put one hand on her shoulder and the other on her breast, and threw her down, and as she was falling she felt the chain which was round her neck snap, one half of it being in the prisoner's hand the other half attached to her dress. The pri soner then tried to get away, and a female ran after him and struck him with her umbrella, and two gentlemen stopped the prisoner. One of them then crossed over and fetched a constable from the other side of the street, and she thou gave the prisoner into custody and he was taken to the station, where he denied the charge and abused her. She was a good deal bruised by falling. Emma Willis, a young woman, living in Cleveland street, said she was in the Regent-circus and saw the pro secutrix thrown down by the prisoner, and as he ran away she ran after him and gave him a blow with her umbrella. The prosecutrix then came up, and said " You have got my chain," and at the time the prisoner had a part of it in his hand, the other part being attached to the prosecutrix's dress. The prisoner tried to get away, but the gentlemen prevented him, and said he should not leave till the con stable came up. Prisoner asked witness, on her oath, whether she saw any part of the chain in his hand, and she replied in the affirma tive. Samuel Grinham, 132 C, said the prisoner had given, he believed, a correct address. Prisoner said he was a respectable man and in work--. working for a good master. Mr, Knox said he should remand him for a week for the attendance, if possible, of one of th e gentlemen but if the his appearance. officer found that he was in work, h e should take bail for FR 0112 THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

A return has been called for by the Admiralty of the armament of the ship gun drill batteries at each division of the Royal Marines and Royal Marine Artilleiy. The gun. nery instructors attached to the respective divisions are also called upon to report whether it would be advantageous, or otherwise, to the service to substitute the Armstrong for any of the smooth-bore guns at the various batteries, The Shannon, screw frigate, Capt. Wainwright, made her preliminary trial of speed with the Admiralty screw, lead in,g corners cut, yesterday, at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, under the command of Captain H. Broadhead, com manding the Steam Reserve, and Messrs. Mendoch and Miller, of the Steam Reserve and Factory departments. The ship's draught of water was—forward, 20ft 3in ; aft, 21ft 9in. Six runs were made at the miles with the following results in knots :-Ist run, 1P533 ; 2d run, 10.315 ; 3d run, 12.500; 4th run, 9.944 ; sth run, 12.857 ; 6th run, 9.783 ; the mean result of the whole was 11.288 knots. The pres sure was 201 b, and the vacuum was, forward, 25, and aft the same. With five men at the wheel the order was given "Hard a port," and a circlo was completed by the ship in 7 min 43 sec. " Hard a starboard," the circle was com pleted in 7 min 24 sec. In the first instance the rudder was only got over 121 degrees, and in the second 14 degree , . Apart, however, from this difficulty in getting the rudder over when under steam, a difficulty common to all our screw ships, the Shannon steers admirably. She instantly answers the slightest touch of her wheel. To-day, should the weather be favourable, the Shannon will follow up her preliminary trial of yesterday with a double-bladed screw cast in Portsmouth dockyard, on the principle introduced by M. Mangan into the Imperial French navy. Other trials will follow with screws of four and six blades attached to a Griffith's boss. Letters received from the West Indies by our Chatham correspondent give several items of intelligence of the move ments of Her Majesty's ships in those waters. The screw frigate Immortalite, 51, Capt. G. Hancock, left English Harbour, Antigua, on the afternoon of the 13th ultimo, for Barbadoes. The screw corvette Cadmus, 21, Capt. H. S. Hillyar, C. 8., left St. John's, Antigua, on the 17th ult., and arrived at St. Kitt's on the following morning. On the 21st ult. she left that islankfor St. Thomas's, which she reachel on the following day, and on the 23d of April she sailed for Bermuda, where she would be stationed for some time. At the date of the mail leaving the officers and crews of the vessels were well. First-Lieut. M. H. Price, of the Chatham division of Royal Marines, died at Vera Cruz on the lath ult., from yellow fever. An intimation has been issued from the Admiralty that the Queen's regulations and circular orders relating to the I navy, now in use, are about to be called in, with the view to their being revised and amended and fresh orders issued. The workmen have been taken off the Conqueror, 86, screw steamship, which was being fitted at Sheerness for the pennant, and instructions have been received to the effect that the hands employed on the Chesapeake, 51, are to proceed no further than will be necessary to render the vessel capable of floating with safety at her moorings in the harbour. She is now in No. 1 dock in Sheerness yard, but will shortly be removed. The Argus, 6, paddle-wheel steam sloop, 300 horse power, is being brought forward in the basin in Sheerness yard with the utmost despatch for immediate commission. It is understood that the Resistance, 51, ironcased screw steam frigate, 600 horse power, which is lying off Sheerness yard, is to be strengthened in the bow w;th iron plates of additional thickness, to prevent any accident similar to that which occurred to the Defence. The guns of the Resistance are all on board, and she is being proceeded with with all despatch. The vessel is to be reported upon when she is considered to be ready for the pennant. The North Star, which is in frame in the building slip at Sheerness, is to be proceeded with, and adapted to receive iron plates of sufficient thickness both above and below the load line, to enable her to ward off a nlb. shot. Her sides are to be lined with plates sufficiently strong to resist a shell. Plans have been submitted, and are under consideration at the Controller's-office, by which this vessel and others of the same class now in course of construction will be plated and adapted for long voyages. Great inconvenience and considerable loss to Government are being sustained in consequence of the inadequate deck accommodation for the present requirements of the service at Sheerness. Should any accident of sufficient importance happen to the Arethusa, 51, or the Resistance, 51, to render it necessary for either of them to be docked, these vessels would be compelled to be removed to Chatham, as the docks at Sheerness are not long enough to admit them. Attention to this matter is more imperative when it is taken into con sideration that a frigate cannot reach either Chatham or Woolwich without having her stores and ammunition taken out. Vessels of this class under difficulties such as would render docking necessary without removing their stores would be required to proceed to Portsmouth. The large basin in Sheerness yard is also too small for such vessels. Yet roomy docks and an admirable basin might be obtained at a comparatively trifling expense. It is considered by the highest authorities that a basin constructed from the south side of the dockyard to the Queenborough Creek and to the Lappel-edge would be one of the most commodious and largest in England, and capable of taPing in even the Great Eastern at low water. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander C. M. Buckle to the Cormorant, commissioned ; Commander C. R. F. Boxer to the Race horse, commissioned ; Lieut. W. F. A. Harris to the Ajax, additional for service in the Coast Guard ; Lieut. Henry J. Coddington to the Vesuvius ; Lieut. Duncan E. K. Grant to the Cormorant ; Sub-Lieut. the Hon.
