MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The genersA discount market shows very little alteration from day to day, owing to the abundant supplie, and the limited requirements of the com mercial community. Rumours are still circulated with regard to a new Russian loan, but no formai announcement has yet been made. It is fully believed that it will be in troduced at a very early period. The :deices from New York state that the im portation of general merchandise at the latest date was equal to the average of former seasons, and the remunerative prices at which most of the articles -were selling prove they are in steady demand. As they would have to be paid in gold, the exportation of specie, it was thought, would be maintained, but as the total in the City banks, on the 29th -ultimo, was £6,770,600 and was gradually increas ing the movement was not expected to cre to an unfavourable influence. The Money Market con tinued quiet and easy. The amount of gold taken into the Bank of Eng land yesterday was 194,000. No change of importance was apparent in the Continental Exchanges yesterday afternoon. Gold is now 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris ; and 11.10ths per cent. higher here than in Hamburg. A meeting of the proprietors of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, will take place on the 30th inst. for the declaration of a dividend, &c. A call of £2 per share, amounting to £95,000, became due to-day on the Ottoman Railway shares, and to-morrow, the 17th inst., a payment of £2 per share, or in the aggregate £200,000, will have to be made on the San Paulo Railway. Holders of the Imperial Moorish Loan Scrip will be enabled to get it exchanged for Bonds on and after the 21st instant. Increased activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were slightly higher. The sales were about 12,000 bales. There was a meeting to-day of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, when the report recom mending the usual dividend of £2 per share was adopted. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per millepm., and the short exchange on London is 25.274 per £1 sterling. On cninparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 3-I( , ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4264 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.6 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at -60 days' sight is 111 to 112 per cent., and the premium on gold about 14 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the im portation of gold from the United States. ST THOMAS'S HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday afternoon, at a very numerous and influential meeting of the governors of this great metropolitan hospital, convened for the express - purpose, and held in the Court-room of the building, the projected removal of the hospital underwent anxious delibe ration. Sir John Musgrove, the president, acted as chair man, and there was far on to 100 of the governing body present. A report was presented by the Secret Committee, :so called, who had been appointed with power to choose a site for a new hospital, and to negotiate for the purchase of and. It stated, in substance, that offers had been made of nearly 50 sites; that the committee he'd examined many of them, and that those which appeared most eligible were th e Surrey-gardens, two at Camberwell, one at Walworth, and one at Lewisham. It should be stated that at a pre vious meeting of the governors it was decided that the hos if rebuilt, should be on the south side of the Thames. Mr. Baggally, the treasurer, moved the adoption of the re port, and that it be referred back to the committee to pur sue their inquiries and negotiations as to site : reporting again to the Court. To this an amendment was proposed by Alderman Humphery, to the effect that negotiations be Opened with the railway company with the view to re- Purchasing the greater part of the present site. It was urged, however, that a much larger space was required for such an hospL al than the three acres of g round to which the arrangements of the railway company would confine it, and that the medical officers were unanimously of opinion that the necessary quiet of the institution would be mate rially impaired by its immediate proximity to a great line of railway. On a division, after a long debate, the amend ment was negatived by a considerable majority, the report by the committee was adopted : and so the matter remains for the present. )ssele zdect a co' f thie .3e the frog )ft for would actice , aLand Ltional nly by Dn the at re- Le pre- ture 0 and to / r exce seas to veslS se at and • great [ spealc - on US ;d into ages n laws of our -P' t re of er this beyond 3 in or proVi' mono' the full he patli ti mac° ❑e that Believe DEN• 'I• rY 16 to tile SHARE MARKET -THIS DAY.

COURT OF ARCHES. (Before Dr. Lushington.) THE OFFICE OF JUDGE PROMOTED BY THE BISHOP OF ST. DAVID'S AGAINST THE BARON DE RUTZEN. The proceedings in this case were taken against the Baron de Rutzen, the patron of a living in Wales. The gentle man had some years ago caused the parish church to be pulled down, uton the promise that a new one was to be erected. This promise had never been carried out, although a church had been built in an adjoining parish. The Court decided that the Baron should erect a church in his own parish, and the costs against him were taxed at £328. He appealed from the decision, but the case was remitted back to the Court of Arches. The Baron had not appeared to it, and Dr. Twiss made an application accordingly, Dr. Lushington said, as the Baron had not appeared to the order of the Court, and when Dr. Twiss had thought a reasonable time had elapsed, he might move to have the Baron declared in contempt. He would, however, decline to mention any exact time, COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Blackburn, Crompton, and Mellor.) FARROW V, LUSH. Mr. M. Smith, Q. C., moved a rule calling upon the plain tiff to show cause why there should not be a new trial in this case, in which a verdict had been given for the plaintiff. The Lord Chief Justice granted the application. EMS WORTH V. SMITH. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., said this case was tried at Guild hall before Mr Justice Blackburn, in which a verdict was returned for the defendant. It was an action to recover some money which had been paid for some pictures; the jury after a great deal of trouble returned a verdict for the defendant, and he now moved for a new trial on the ground that it was against the evidence, and also that there had been some misunderstanding of the summing up of the evidence by the learned judge. The question to be decided was whether a person named Sydney, who had acted for both parties, and had been paid by Smith, could be looked upon as having received that money for Ems worth. At the time the verdict was given it was under stood that an application should be made to stay execution, but that circumstance was not to be looked upon as any expression of opinion on the part of the learned judge. There had been some dealing between the parties with re spect to certain pictures, which were supposed to be origi nals, but ascertained to be merely copies. Mr. Justice Blackburn said there had been, if he recol lected rightly, a great deal of hesitation on the part of the jury before they arrived at a verdict. The Court granted a rule to show cause. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Channell, Bram well, and Wilde.) OLENDINNING V. THOMAS. Mr. Honeyman showed cause against a rule obtained last term by Mr. Laxton, calling upon the defendant to show cause why an attachment should not be issued against him for contempt in not obeying a subpaena'served upon him to produce certain documents required for the purposes of the plaintiff's action, which was brought for breach of promise of marriage, and for the maintenance of an illegitimate child to which the plaintiff had given birth, and in consequence of the non-attendance of the defendant, the plaintiff's counsel were compelled to withdraw the record, The learned counsel produced an affidavit of the defendant, in which he represented that there had been no wilful default on his part, and that he was in attendance in the neighbour hood of the Court, and that the cause had been called on without his knowledge, and that no one on the part of the plaintiff called upon him to attend, nor did he hear his name called. The learned counsel then submitted there was not sufficient contempt to justify the motion for an attach ment, but if the plaintiff sustained any real damage then an action might be brought. Mr. Laxton having been heard in reply in support of the rule, The Court decided the alleged contempt was insufficient to justify an attachment, and therefore discharged the rule with costs. BURGESS V. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY. Mr. Macauley, Q.C., moved in this case, on the part of the defendants, for a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why a verdict found for him with £lOO damages should not be set aside and (a new trial granted. The action was tried before the Lord Chief Justice, at the last Lincoln Assizes, and was for injury sustained by the plaintiff in consequence of the tire of one of the wheels of the railway carriage breaking, in which he was riding near Gainsborough Station on the 15th of De cember, 1860, during a snow-storm, which caused the car riage to be detached from the train, and no less than 13 persons were thrown out, but owing to the fortunate cir cumstance of a heavy fall of snow none of them were se verely injured. The defendants contended that the break ing of the tire of the wheel did not arise from any neglect on the part of the company, or their servants, and arose from circumstances over which they had no control. The Court intimated that it would consult the Lord Chief Justice before it gave its decision. 31:1BBJEES' UU U itT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) A BROTHER SUING A BROTHER—DAMM V. DAMM. This was a plaint to recover a small sum, Mr. Buchanan appearing for the plaintiff. It appeared that the parties were brothers, plaintiff being the elder. The claim was for 17s. 6d. collected, as alleged, by defendant after he had left plaintiff's service, and £2 for a coat. In giving a verdict his Honour said—These persons are brothers ? Mr. Buchanan—Yes. His II onour—Br•ther and brother—nice brothers. Mr. Buchanan—When brothers fall out they do very strange things. • A FINE ARTS GALLERY IN MINCING-LANE-MEADOWS T. ACOMB. In this case the plaintiff is an artist, and the defendant manager of the Mincing-lane sale-rooms. It appeared that the defendant dealt in pictures, numbers of which were to be seen in his rooms. 'lle plaintiff had sent some pictures to the defendant, and the question was whether they had been sold out and out or merely left with defendant as a dealer. After hearing somewhat contradictory evidence, defen dant denying that he dealt in pictures, and stating that those hanging in his room were exhibited by another per son, his Honour found that in a case of this kind he could not decide, and the parties must have a jury. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET, THIS DAY. A RUNNING MATCH IN HYDE-PARK.—Thomas G. Con gerton, 27, North-street, Lisson-grove, a cabinetmaker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with behaving in a dis orderly manner in Hyde-park, by running a race with others to the common danger of foot-passengers, contrary to the regulations of the Commissioners of Police. Alexander Aberdein, 515 A, said that on the previous evening, about seven o'clock, he saw the defendant and about 20 others on a footpath in the park, and the defendant and some of the others took off their clothes and commenced running a race. He then went up to them, and they pu on their clothes and walked about. The Chief Clerk—What harm were they doing. Constable—They were in the public thoroughfare, on the footpath, and people were passing. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether they ran against any one. Constable—No, only against their own company. They ran about 300 yards. The defendant said he did not think there was any harm in doing it. Mr. Tyrwhitt—A very odd view of the law seems to be taken by some people here. If you (defendant) want to run a race you had better not go on the footpaths. The defendant was then discharged. IMPORTANT TO TRADESMEN. — Mr. Nathan Wolff Jacob son, of 311, Oxford-street, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of the police for allowing his horse and cart to stand in front of his premises longer than was necessary for the purposes of loading and unloading. Sergeant Smith, C, proved seeing the defendant's horse and cart standing in front of the house above an hour, the horse feeding from a box, and no loading or unloading going on. Ho had cautioned the defendant before. He left a constable to notice when the horse and cart were removedt and he said they were not removed for a long time after. Defendant said that on the 4th of April, the day in ques tion, he had a heavy order in hand for goods going to New South Wales. The horse and cart which were employed in his business were there merely while the boy who had m ias o a rn t i h n ing g Was having his dinner. of daily occurrence. b e e s n e r o g u e t a nt with t Smithh e msaid l t h w e Th defendant said other tradesmen in Oxford-street had their horses and carts standing in front of their houses, and he had a frontage of 62 feet. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the real offence was making, as Lord Ellenborough said, a stable yard of the public highway. He should fine the defendant 58:And costs. REPRESENTATION OF LAMBETIL—A hole-and corner meeting of the friends of Mr. Doulton was held last evening at the Horns Tavern, Lambeth, to take into consi deration the present state of the borough arising from the anticipated resignation of his seat in the House of Commons by Mr. Roupell, one of the members for Lambeth. A reso proposed Mr. Begley was a cut-and-dry s so o an l i e u d, t it t o o n r it appeared n he fa p v u o r u pt r oo of Mr. , mo l f r t . bh D r ian o t ugtlihtuoegnmb. meeting forward Mr. Doulton. He wished to know whether th at was t he case. Mr. Holland denied that he was, directly or i ndirectly, connected with any one in mentioning Mr. Doulton's name. Mr. Begley said the result had proved he was right in his first state ment, that that was a cut - a nd-dr y meeting for a special purpose. He protested a gainst the course pursued, and moved, as an amendment, that a committee of gentlemen be a ppointed to look out for candidates. No seconder being found for the amendment, the resolution WAS agreed to. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—TIIESDAY.

The third day's running came off on Sunday, terminating the Spring Meeting. The weather was bleak and cold, yet the company was almost as numerous as on the previous Sunday. It might, however, have been observed that the brilliant summer toilettes had disappeared and that over coats and furred mantles were once more called into requisition. The racing was hardly so interesting as on the other days, the first of the two steeplechases ruu being won easily by The Colonel, and the second being contested by two horses only. The pavilion was occupt ed by a num • ber of distinguished visitors, among them being noticed Prince Murat and Prince Demidoff. The horses were started as before, by Mr. Mackenzie Grieves, and the judge's chair was filled by the Count de Hedouville. Subjoined are the details of the running. The Prix du Chateau of 2,6n0f., for horses of every descrip tion. Entry 100 f. The second to receive double his entry. Weight for age.

Graciosa took the lead at Iv arting, followed by The Colo nel and Whisky, /3 015.-la fourth, and Irish Boy bringing up the rear. At the river Graciosa refused, and The Colonel and Whisky got over, but fell rather heavily on the other s- de; Hola -16. crossed next, and took the lead as far as the hedge by the park entrance, which he refused ; Irish Boy crossed fourth, and Graciosa last. The Colonel and Whisky were speedily remounted, and joined the race; and on the four latter arriving at the place where Hola-la was stopped the whole of them refused also, and the singular spectacle was witnessed of the five horses being brought to a pause by a simple fence. They all eventually got over, The Colo nel taking the lead, with Hol a-la and Graciosa next, Whisky fourth, and Irish Boy last, in which order they continued as far as the Irish wall (an embankment between two ditches) in the last round, when Hold .15. and Graciosa both fell, leaving The Colonel to come in an easy winner, with Whisky a bad second. The Prix de Consolation of 1,500 f. for horses that have never won a steeplechase of the value of I,ooof. ; entry, 25f. ; the second to receive the entries ; weight for age ; the winner of a hurdle race of the value of I,ooof. to carry 61b. extra ; of two of such races, 121 b. ; of a hurdle race of 2,000 f., or a flat race of 4,000 f., 161 b. ; and two of such races, 201 b extra.

This race lay entirely between Church-Langton and Saint-Maximin, Charlatan having refused the first fence and given up, and Etincelle having run outside the course and bolted. Church-Langton kept the lead throughout the race until near the winning post, when Saint-Maximin made a rush and came in winner by a neck. The Poule de Hacks, of 1,0001., for horses 3 .yrs-old and upwards ; gentlemen riders ; entry 50f. ; the second to receive double his entry ; weight for age ; the winner liable to be claimed for 6,000 f. ; horses to be claimed for 4,000 f., allowed 81b. ; for 2,000 f. 161 b., and for I,ooof. 241 b.

After some delay, arising from the difficulty of getting the horses together, a good start was effected, Apremont made the running at first followed closely by Vixen and Ventre a Terre, the rest coming after in a mass, with La Begum last. Under the wall Vexin and M. de la Chapelle showed in front, with Michelet and Eheu well up. A good race then ensued with the horses in that order, Vexin pas sing the post first, with M. de la Chapelle second. CRICKET. THE ALL-ENGLAND ELEVEN IN AUSTRALIA. The All-England Eleven on the 24th of January started for Sydney, and arrived on the 27th, when they received a most enthusiastic welcome from upwards of 10,000 people. They were at once invited to a public breakfast, and also to a dinner in the evening, at the Victoria Club. Two days after their arrival the match against 22 of New South Wales was played. The New South Wales team were— Clark, Brown, Curtis, G. Moore, Kettle, Gregory, Thom son, Myrtle, Deane, Gilbert, Curran, Newsome, Ward, Taylor, T. Lewis, J. Moore, Kinloch, Cleeve, Fowler, Coulter, Iteadett, and 0. Lewis. The weather was all that could be desired, and there were about 25,000 persons on the ground, the sight presented being one of the gayest. Amongst those present were his Excellency Sir J. Young, Bart, The All-England men went in first, and on the stumps being drawn at the end of the day, there were only four wickets down for 148 runs, Mudie, 6; Griffith, 20; Mortlock, 76 ; and Caffyn, 38. The attendance of visitors on the second day was little if anything short of that on Wednesday. The weather, too, proved as on the previous day, remarkably fine, although there was a change for the worse—in fact, decided indica tions of a " brick-fielder"— in the course of the afternoon. Fortunately it passed over, and beyond a very slight dust raising breeze, no inconvenience was felt by the people or the players, and the game continued without interruption up to six o'clock, the hour fixed upon for drawing the stumps. The same goof order marked the proceedings which characterised them on the previous day ; the game was watched with even a deeper feeling of interest, and the enthusiasm of the spectators broke forth as earnestly and spontaneously whenever any extraordinary display of skill was made by the players on either side. The wickets soon began to fall one after the other, until the whole Eleven were put out for a total of 175 runs —Laurence, 2 ; Bennett, 3 ; Sewell, 5 ; Iddison, 2 ; E. Stephenson, 17 ; Wells, 1; H. H. Stephenson, not out, 11. Not one of the men were bowled out in the innings. The New South Wales team then went in and scored 127 ; and a the second innings the Eleven were all put out for the small score of 66. The Sydney men had now a chance of winning, but their opponents proved too good for them, and the whole of the Twenty-two were got out for 65. The honourable defeat sustained by the N. S. Wales players by no means vanquished the cricket spirit in Syd ney; and arrangements were speedily entered into with Messrs. Spier• and Pond to bring over a Victorian Eleven, so that a united Twenty-two of the two colonies might play a match similar to that which had created so much interest in Melbourne. To George Marshall was entrusted the task of selecting 11 Victorian players, a commission which, not withstanding numerous obstacles, he succeeded in effecting. The team was certainly not the best that could be procured, still there were some good men in it, who could at any rate be relied on—that is, so far as the chances of cricket are concerned. Marshall himself was unable to accompany the party, and Briant was also unable to go. The following were selected :—J. Huddleston, T. Huddleston, S. Cosstick, G. Elliott, S. Hopkinson, T. Moore, J. Conway, J. C. Bro die, J. A. Smith, V. Cameron, and Boak. The match be tween the united teams of Victoria and New South Wales commenced on the 13th inst., and the result was the defeat of the Eleven by 12 wickets. In the first innings they only scored 60, and in their second 75. Scarcely a wicket was bowled. This first defeat of the Eleven has given great pleasure to the Sydneyites and the colonial cricketers gene rally, as it serves to prove that the All-England Eleven are not invincible. In Sydney the cricketers were treated in a most handsome manner, and not a day passed during their stay there but what they were invited to champagne break fasts, luncheons, and dinners. The Eleven played against 22 at Bathurst, but the match was not played out owing to heavy rains. On their return to Sydney they proceeded to Tasmania, and the first match was to be played at Hobart Town. On their return to Victoria the following matches were to be played :—Surrey v. The World, the All-England 'Aided six on a side, on the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Ist, 3d, and 4th of March ; at Ballarat, on the 6th, 7th, and Bth; at Sandhurst, on the 11th, 12th, and 13th; at Castle maine, on the 14th, 15th, and 17th ; All-England 'Eleven v. Twenty-two of the Colony of Victoria, on the 20th, 21st, 22d, and 24th. The dates from Adelaide, South Australia, are to Feb. 24. Great commercial depression was felt in comic.. quence of several heavy mercantile failures. The Decem ber mail from England had not arrived at Adelaide. Mr, Stuart, the explorer, left Chambers-creek to cross the con tinent on the Bth January. The Colonial Government had determined on the resumption of emigration to the colony. Flour was quoted at £ll 10s. to £l2 ss. per ton; copper, £96 10s. per ton. The price of Burra Burra shares Was £llO ex div. The local banks purchased draughts on Lone don at 60 days' sight at per cent. prem., and sold bills at 121 per cent. prom' 1031 41 lot TERRIBLE BOILER EXPLOSION. NINETEEN PERSONS KILLED. WOLVERHAMPTON, TUESDAY. About a quarter -past 11 o'clock this forenoon a boiler explosion happened about two miles from this town, which has occasioned the deaths of 19 persons, and serious injury to other 10. Of these latter, two are dying as we wri te , b ut of the re maining eight thereis ground to hope for their ultimate recovery. The site of the explosion is Priestfield, the first station between this town and Birmingham, on the Great Western line. At Prestfield, among other iron works are those now carried on by Mr. Thos. Rose, and belonging to the Birmingham Banking Company. The works are called the Millfield . Works, and they consist of two forges and three mills, all for the manufacture of different descrip tions of finished iron. One forge, the only one now at work, consists of 20 puddling furnaces, a shingling hammer, for beating the dross from the balls of molten iron which are produced at the puddling furnaces, and a train of rolls for rolling the iron, after it leaves the shingler's hammer, into puddled bars, preparatory to its being cut up, re heated and rolled into merchantable iron in the mills. The engine which worked the massy shingler's hammer and the puddled bar rolls was of 80 horse power, high pressure, and supplied with steam from two cylindrical boilers with hemisphe rical ends, eight or nine feet in diameter about 20 feet long. Each boiler was heated by the super fluous flame from a set of puddling furnaces, and was seated upright on one of its ends. One boiler was heated by the flues of four furnaces, and the other.by the flues of two furnaces. The other two furnaces were unconnected with any boiler. At the time mentioned the puddlers working at the four furnaces attached to the b o il er N o . 1 were taking out their charges, and were dragging their red-hot balls of iron to the shingler's hammer, and thence to the puddled bar rolls, the furnaces having been for a quarter of an hour previously working at the utmost heat required in the operation, and the boilers consequently under the same proportionate influence. Indeed, the whole of the machinery of the forge was in full operation ; and beneath the roof which covered the whole there were about 40 men at work. When everything was supposed to be safe, and without any previous warning, a report ae a mighty peal of thunder immediately overhead was heard, and in an instant death, and devastation prevailed. The entire forge was a complete wreck. No. 1 boiler had exploded. Three fourths of it, weighing about eight tons, had been forced into the air to a height of between 200 and 300 feet, and the remainder in three portions had been driven through the forge in three different directions, tearing down the iron pillars which supported the roof, and rending the massive timber beams which rested upon them into splinters. At the same time the brick work and masonry of the furnaces, with their contents of molten iron, and the burning coals from their fires, completed the appalling catastrophe. Before the fly ing debris men were driven, bleeding and lifeless, some into boats lying upon the adjoining canal; others against a brick wall, 20 yards distant from the boiler; others were buried' beneath the molten iron, the burning coals, and the red-hot brickwork. Within an hour after the explosion 14 bodies had been recovered, all of them most shockingly muti lated. One body was without its head ; another, upon an attempt to lift it up, fell to pieces : it had been literally cut in two, and the extremities had been burnt away. The remainder were more or less disfigured. In addition to the 14 found dead 15 were discovered alive, but the greater number sadly injured. Nine of these were taken to the South Staffordshire Hos pital, about a mile and a half from the Millfielis Works, and six to their homes. Three died on their way to the hospital, and one whilst being taken to his home. In the hospital one has already died, and two are supposed to be dying. The injuries which have been received by the deceased in the hospital ace chiefly scalp wounds, fractures, and scalds, and one of the injured has a leg amputated. The ruins are still being searched for two bodies supposed to be missing, and until to-morrow it is not expected to be known if even a larger number have not yet to 6n 000000tod. for. Moat of the decettSed who have been recognised are fathers of families. MARKETS-THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE. Very small supplies of English wheat were received fresh up to this morning's market, and the trade both for red and white parcels ruled firm, at full quotations. The show of foreign wheat was moderately good. In most descriptions sales progressed steadily, and prices were well sucported. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, and the currencies ruled firm. Good and fine qualities of barley were in request, at ex treme rates, but inferior samples met a dull inquiry, at about former terms. Fine malt moved off steadily, at full prices; but other kinds were a slow sale, at late rates. Oats of good and fine quality were fully as dear as on Monday ; inferior parcels, however, were somewhat ne glected, though without change in value. Beans and peas—the supplies of which were small—ruled firm, at full quotations. The flour trade was steady, and prices were well main tained. ARRIVALS THIS: WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Coulson and Co., wholesale ironmongers, of Bir mingham and other places, was charged before the Birming hamto magistrates with embezzling money belonging h employers, and remanded for a week. On being brought up r on Monday he was discharged, the prosecutor s stating that an examination had been made of eu tt accounts, which were so complicated that it would b© difli cult to proceed with the charge. ore surcharging the Inland Revenue Departmentt isslitoowbse INCOME-TAX SURCIIARGES. — A return made by p W e a e l l ht s l i.naorggabionr6sotlu;gchhaan, Charges d an ie d n m hoped, pone: al in the country, In the Nort ha in Northamptonshire than is , for chargeslB gsnl6Por ap t Kettering divisions there madeonly 149 the ins ta s u n r e v e e s y o ( r u , n u e n id.wneerrfeuschedule eA con firmed ; in 241 they were reduced ; and in 217 they were wholly discharged.

There were also numerous appeals in this district against assessments made by the parochial assessors and additional commissioners, and against assess ments made upon the appellants' own returns. IRELAND. DUBLIN, APRIL 15. The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Trea sury have authorised an arrangement by which articles of antiquity found in Ireland may be pur chased from their possessors a the full value, and placed for the public benefit in the museum of the Royal Irish Academy. The Lord Lieutenant has ordered the constabulary to receive all such objects offered to them, and to pay the finders the value placed on them by the Committee of Antiquities of the Royal Irish Academy. This arrangement pro tects the finders of " treasure trove" from all legal claims, and secures them a much higher price than they could other vise get for their articles. An im mense quantity of those articles has been sold to jewellers and goldsmiths for melting purposes, the price varying from 655. to 70s. per ounce. The an tiquarian value is 80s. an ounce, and often more, according to the nature of the ornamentation. Lord Talbot de Malahide exerted himself to procure the Treasury minute above referred to, which will be the means of preserving any golden ornaments that may yet be found in the museum of the Royal Irish Academy. The academy has already a magnificent collection, containing 300 specimens cf antique manufactured gold. Dr. Wilde, Vice-President, has just pub lished a descriptive catalogue, which is full of inte rest, not only to the antiquary, but to the historian and the general reader. He thinks that, in all pro bability, gold—in Irish, "or ► "--was the metal with which the primitive inhabitants of Ireland were first acquainted; and he asserts that " a greater number and variety of antique articles of gold have bten found in this than in any other country in the north-west of Europe, from the Alps to the utmost inhabited limits of Norway or Sweden." He also states that the majority of the gold articles illus trative of the antiquities of the British Isles now preserved in the British Museum are Irish. The specimens in the museum of the Royal Irish Aca demy consist of articles connected with personal decoration, such as diadems, tiaras, lunulte, hair plates, earrings, gorgets, torques, beads, balls, neck laces, circular plates, fihulse, brooches, armillte, bracelets, finger rings, and a great number of minor trinkets. They have been found scattered broad cast over the country, and it is a curious fact that they lie deeper beneath the surface than any other remains. They are seldom met in ordinary drain ing operations, but they have been found at the bottom of deep bogs, which seem to have grown over them many feet since they were dropped or buried. They seem to have been dropped or hidden in haste, while the plundering invader pressed hotly in pursuit of the terrified fugitive. The specimens of most value seem to have belonged to the prehis toric period, and to have been lost long before the use of writing was known in this country. The gold is never thoroughly pure. It is generally from 18 to 21 carats fine. The earliest records, however, make frequent mention of golden ornaments, ready gold having been paid for ransom, &c., by bulk and. weight, and as many as 30 ounces were given on particular occasions. Gold does not appear to have been used by the ancient Irish for crowns, and Irish. history contains no account of a coronation. The earliest insignia of rank or sovereignty would appear to have been bands or fillets, as shown en some of the most ancient coins and gems. At the meeting of the Council, held the 7th of April, 1862, it was resolved to recommend to the Academy :--- "That the Cross of Cong, the case of the Gospels of St. Molasch, the Golden Head-dress (No. 17), the large Silver Fibulae (Nos. 38 and 40), the Golden Fibulae with cup shaped ends (Nos. 121 and 122), the Golden Torque (No. 192), and such other articles as it may be thought desirable to lend, be forwarded for exhibition in the museum, South Kensington, London, belonging to the Science and Art Department of the Committee of Council on Education, during the forthcoming International Exhibition of 1862." There was a general meeting of the members last night, when this matter was under consideration. At a meeting of the Royal Dublin Society last night a paper was read on the quality of the milk sold in Dublin. There were 20 satinpleo purchased in the D0m.... xotricts of the city and suburbs and auttlyzed. The results were satisfactory. Water was the only adulteration found by the analysts... There was no chalk—no calves' or sheep's brains—, " the quality was, generally speaking, extremely fair." In three districts the samples examined were found to be absolutely pure, and two of these dis tricts were among the poorest in the city. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, Amu, 15.
