CITY, Two o'CLocx. There is no alteration to report in the general condition of the money market, but the liquidation of the bills due on the 4th of the month has been followed by a quieter tone, the supply of com mercial bills on offer being very moderate. Therewere no withdrawals of gold from the Bank of England yesterday. Gold is now about 1-10th per cent. cheaper here than in Paris, but about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The Foreign Exchanges, yesterday afternoon, exhibited a slight advance in the rate on Paris. The Oneida has arrived from the Brazils with .£53,600 in specie. A call of £1 10s. per share, amounting together to £135,000, becomes due to-morrow on the Bahia and San Francisco Railway. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi ness was inactive. Prices, however, were unaltered. The sales were about 3,000 bales. The Lightning has arrived from Victoria with £96,160 in gold. She has made a protracted voy age, namely, of 102 days. Some of the other vessels which are known to be coming forward may be expected at an early date. There is very little business in the market for Public Securities beyond the arrangement connected 'with the settlement of the account. Speculation in the early part of last month was rather active, but as several minor fluctuations have taken place the outstanding differences to be settled are rather extensive, and the necessary preparations occupy the attention of the dealers and brokers. Rather an unfavourable effect has been produced upon quo tations this morning by some sales, partly foreign account, which led to a decline of I per cent. , Consols having receded to 93-1- I, for transfer, and 93 1 7-, for the April account. At the latest moment, however, renewed firmness is apparent, the Funds having recovered to 93-1 a, and to 93! respectively. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady, at 919 92k ; Bank Stock is flat, at 242; India 5 per Cents. at 106/ 107; Exchequer Bills remain at 19s. to 225. prem. Business in the Foreign Market has been quiet, and prices generally show less firmness, Turkish 6 . per Cents, are 841 85 ; ditto, 1858, 711,- 4 ; eau have receded to 34/ ft ; Spanish Passive, to 19-1 j ; ditto Certificates, to 61 7; but New Gra• nada 2 per Cents. have improved to 27, and Equador to 18k. - • The Ottoman Loan of 1860 is 65i; and the New itaiian, 11 1 dis. The operations in the Railway Share Market to-day were moderately active, and a slight advance was established in prices by a preponderance of purchases. Caledonians, Eastern Counties, Lanca shire and Yorkshire, North Western, South Western, and South Eastern improved 55.; Great Northern, Great Western, Brighton, and Midlands, 10s.; North Eastern (Berwick), however, have declined abo ut ss.

(Per Alhambra, via Southampton.) - The resignation of 'fillip Horta, Minister for Publi c Works, has been accepted. He is supposed to have resigned in consequence of some misunder standing respecting the mcent recomposition of the Ministry. The portfolio of the tbove department is tempo l'arilY held by the Marcuis de Loule. , The new Premier conmands a small majority in the Chamber of Deputies, but can scarcely count 11 Pan the peers. Little surprise woull be felt if the Marquis Sal -44114 were called upcn to form a new Cabinet. appointment of Senhor Lobo d'Avilla as Minister of Finance toes not give general satisfac tion, and the funds aie somewhat depressed. It is expected that the long agitated question of the Sisters of Charity will again be brought before the Cortes. The conversion of 3onvent property into Govern ment stock is progressing, but the measure is re garded with mistrust, and has not up to the present benefitted tie public funds. Her Majesty's ship Investigator arrived here this m orn i ng. The weather has been very tempestuous lately. Several disasters have occurred on the coast and in th e T agus. Trade is exceedingly bad. Political changes, the death_ of Dora Pedro, the American difficulty, and /he rigorous winter, have all concurred to stop 'business. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Alhambra, Capt. Steward, with the ab ove ma il s , has arrived here. She brings 14 passengers, £2,533 in specie, and a cargo of 815 packages of merchandise. A Lisbon journal, La Verzte Industrielle, states that some men employed in digging a well at Seville some day s since, found a flight of st-ps, at the end of which was a door. This they soon burst open, and entered a vaulted room, the ce ling of which was supported by six pillars. At the foot of these lay four mummified human bodies attached b y a chain. One of them was a barefooted monk. The shoes of the other three were in a good state of preservation. The clothes were all in the style of the last century, but all Totten, with the exception of one garment, which was silk. It is supposed that this room was one of the dungeons of Inquis Lion, and that the four prisoners had been starved to death. A double crime of a very unusual and desperate character was committed at Otley, on Sunday morning. It , a ,PPea , a that th e f am il y o f a f armer were aroused early in t he morning in consequence o f their barns being on fire , whilst the w h o l e o f th em were enga ged in putting out le cl r . fire, some scoundrels b r oke into the farmhouse and fireled o f a ll t h e property they could lay han d s on. The r was a very d es t ruct i ve one. It i s suppose d, an d not un asonably, that the burglars first fired the barn in order to take off the attention of the people of the house. 25 Blythe and Tyne 10 p.c. pref. issued at £5 all et Bris. & Exet. 4p. c. st.. 100 93 95 20 Do. shares st Caledon. qr. shrs.

LAW IIV TE'LLIG.ENCE.—(This Day.) THIRD EDITION. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) QUESTION UNDER THE NEW ORDERS.-IN RE MESON. This bankrupt was a trader in Dulwich, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr. T. Beard supported, and there was no opposition. Mr. Graham, the official assignee, read his report, from which it appeared that the bankrupt's debts were about £274, extending over a period of four years; the assets were returned at £7, of which £4 18s. 6d. had been received. His Honour—Does any creditor oppose ? Mr. Beard—No; your Honour. Nor did anyone appear to be appointed assignee. I believe there is not the slightest opposition. His Honour—This is a case in which no assignee is chosen, and, under the new order, Mr. Aldridge has a right to appear. Bankrupt was examined, and said that he was a commis sion agent, and also a dealer in jewellery; he had been in business for 20 years, and had never been bankrupt or in• solvent before. His Honour said that under such circumstances he would grant an immediate discharge. IN RE EMLAND. In a case yesterday, before one of the Registrars, no assignee was chosen, and Mr. Drew applied for an adjourn ment to get a creditor to accept the trust, but the applica tion was refused, as the adjournment had not been requested by the creditors, but, as in the last case, it is a question whether Mr. Aldridge will interfere except in cases where the creditors appear supine.

This case was reported a few days since in this journal —the release of the bankrupt from custody being refused on technical grounds. This was a meeting for choice of assignees, dco. Mr. Beard appeared for the bankrupt, who did not appear in consequence of the expense, and the case stands over until the last examination. CRIMINAL COURT.—(7 his Day.) OLD COURT. (Before Chief Baron Pollock.) MANSLAUGHTER. Thomas Walsh, William Poulton, and —. Cox were indicted for the manslaughter of John Wincott. The prisoners, it will be recollected, were the three men who were in company with Quail, who was yesterday tried for the wilful murder of the unfortunate man, but against whom the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter. The evidence was exactly the same as that adduced at the trial of Quail. _ The jury retired to consider their verdict, and, after three hours' deliberation, returned into court with a verdict of guilty, but strongly recommending the prisoners to mercy. 'The Chief Baron deferred p ass i ng sentence until to morrow morning. THE CHARGE OF FORGING RUSSIAN RANK NOTES. The trial of the five prisoners indicted f or f e l on i ous l y , without authority of a certain foreign State, to wit, the State of his Imperial Majesty the E mperor of all the Rus sian, engraving and making upon certain copper plates, stones, and other materials, certain part of a promissory note for the payment of money in the R uss i an l anguage, e application of M r. B est, one of the purporting to' be the note. of the said f ore i gn St a t e, was counsel postponed engaged upon forth th e defence, until th e next session. BIGAMY. William Boyd, alias William Cathcart Boyd, described as a physician, aged 58, was indicted for feloni ous ly marry ing being Hann then ahVill a i l e i r v s e V:andeleur, his Wife, Louisa Eliza beth, The prisoner pleaded guilty. The Lord Chief Baron said he should not pass sentence, as he had not read the depositions. The prisoner was then removed from the dock. NEW COURT. (Before Baron Martin.) MURDER IN RATCLIFFE HIGHWAY. Patrick Devereuc, aged 19, a sailor, was indicted for the wilful murder of James Gardner, a lodging house-keeper, in Ratcliffe-highway. Mr. son e Orridge r. prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. Mr. r. Cohen said—l reside in St. G eorge's-in -the-East. I was present at the George and Vulture, in Ratcliffe-high way, on the 29th of January, between 11 and 12 at night. The prisoner came in and dem and ed his clothes fr om Mr. Gardner. Deceased turned ro und and said to me, "I sn 't it hard, Mr. Cohen, that I am to b e tormented in this wa y." I told him not to strike the young man. Priso ner aga i n them when demanded he ehad clothes, paid w him he all he owed. D eceased, as hen Gardener sa id h e might have was going out of house, pushed the prisoner, and in a very short time after I saw the knife in the prisoner's hand, and heard Gardner call out " I'm stabbed." Corroborative evidence having been given, The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder, but strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his youth. Immediately the prisoner heard the verdict he commenced shrieking and imploring mercy from the judge. He said his money had been got from by pretending to keep it safe from thieves, and when he asked for it to go to see his father and mother at Cork he could not get it from Gar dener. Baron Martin then put on the black cap, and proceeded to pass sentence of death in the usual form, at the same time telling the prisoner that he did not see how the jury could have come to any other conclusion. The recommen dation of the jury would be forwarded to the proper autho rities. At the conclusion of the learned Judge's remarks, he ap peared quite overpowered, and the prisoner again exclaimed, " Oh, God I have mercy on me I Have mercy on my poor father and mother 1 Don't hang me, don't hang me 1 I've not had justice I God have mercy on me 1" A great number of prisoners bad, previous to the verdict being delivered, been placed in the dock to plead to indict ments ; and in order to prevent confusion they were allowed to remain while the awful sentence was passed upon the unhappy man. The language of the Judge was so affect ing that it drew tears from the prisoners by whom Devereux was surrounded ; and, taken altogether, the scene was one of the most affecting that has taken place in the court for years. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, MARCH 4, Mr, Evelyn Abbott, of Someraetshire College, Bath, and Mr. Alexander William Mowbray Baillie, late of the Edin burgh Academy, have been elected Exhibitioners of Balliol College.

A melancholy accident occurred yesterday on the Isis Mr. G. R. Luke, Student and Tutor of Christ Church, took one of the light boats called " dingies" and rowed alone down the river. Some little time afterwards a boat was ob served bottom upwi rds floating down a part of the river called Kennington Reach. An alarm was at once given, and on the drags being used the unfortunate gentleman was brought to the surface and carried ashore. Every means of restoration were tried, but without effect ; life appeared to have been extinct some time. It is suspected that Mr. Luke fell from his boat in a fit of giddiness, as he was liable to attacks of that nature.

The Dagbladet, of Copenhagen, states that on the 26th December, a Danish vessel, the Jurgen-Lorentzen, Captain 'Reimer, was captured in 7 deg. north latitude, 38 deg. 30m. east longitude, by the United States corvette Morning Light, when on her way from Rio Janeiro to Havanna, with a cargo of coffee. It appears that on in specting-the ship's papers, the Federal ca pt a i n , contrary to the opinion of his first lieutenant, who thought them regular, considered the vessel a lawful prize, because, accord ing to the c harter -party, she might go either to New York or New Orleans on leaving Havanna. The Jurgen- Lorentzen was accordingly taken as a prise to New York. From that port Capt. Reimer wrote to his owners that his ship had been released, but the Dag6ladet asks what re paration the United States Government will grant for this illegal capture of a neatral vessel.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DARING ROBBERY IN HYDE - PARK. - Two young women, named Sarah Jones and Mary Johnson, who both gave false addresses, were brought up for committal, charged with the following robbery in Hyde-park : From the evidence of Thomas Watson, a messenger, re siding at 1, William-street, Knightsbridge, it appeared that, he was passitig through Hyde-park, when Jones spoke to him, and he immediately missed his purse. He accused her of taking it, when she denied doing so, but on his taking hold of her hand the pursa fell on the ground. The prisoner Johnson then came up and hustled about him, and he then gave both the prisoners in charge. The purse had contained 17s. 6d., but on picking it up a half sovereign was gone. Evidence being given by a constable of the A division that the ?risoners were together the same night, they re served their defence and were committed for trial. THAMES. IMPORTANT APPREHENSION OP A BURGLAR.—Frede rick White, 40, a labourer, in the employ of the North London Railway Company, at their factory in Bow, and dwelling at 12, Violet-street, Decons-lane, Bow-common, was brought before Mr. Wcolrych, charged with being concerned in the commission of several burglaries and robberies and attempting to enter the residence of Mr. J. M. Sundley, in the New Glove, Bow-road, with the inten tion of committing a felony. Mr. Sundley, a gentleman of property, stated that his windows and doors were all secured and fastened in the usual manner last night. This morning, at 1 o'clock, he was disturbed by the springing of a police .constable's rattle and a loud knocking at his door. The servant of the house opened the door, and a policeman entered the house with the prisoner in custody. He did not know the man, and was not aware that he ever saw him before. His house was broken into and plundered some time ago, and the property was not recovered. George Atkins, a police .constable, No. 4d3 K. said—At one o'clock this morning I was in the Bow-road. I heard some glass break. I could see no other constable near, and spoke to two gentlemen who were passing, gave one of them my rattle and told him to spring it directly, and reached the yard of Mr. Sundley's house. I got over several walls, and when I reaohed the wall which separates the garden of Mr. Sundley's house from the adjoining one there was a peal from the rattle as I directed, and at the same time I saw the prisoner crouching down in the area of the house, close to the laundry window. I told him he had better not move, but he did move, and ran to the other end of the area and got over the rails. I jumped down and seized him. I examined the laundry window. A large pane of glass had been cut out, and the frame of the window chiselled up. I found this chisel (producing one) on the window ledge. The aperture in the window was large enough to admit the body of a man. I searched the prisoner, and found two knives and 2s. ltd. upon him. Mr. Walter Kerressey, inspector of the K division of police, said that several burglaries and robberies of gentle men's houses in the neighbourhood of Bow and Bromley had taken place in the course of the last few weeks. Among others the residence of Mr. Jas. Dunstan, Mornington-road, Bow, in the parish of Bromley St. Leonard, was burgle- Homily entered and robbed, and a good deal of valuable property carried off. He went to the dwelling of the pri soner, No. 12, Violet-street, and there discovered much valuable property, and pawnbrok rs' duplicates relating to silver plate and ladies' and gentlemen's wearing apparel, and other property, stolen at various times from the resi dences of gentlemen which had been entered and plundered. Among the articles found secreted in the prisoner's dwel ling were a lady's ivory companion, a pair of silver sugar tangs, and a beautiful cameo brooch, which were identified by Mr. Dunstan as his property. He also found an old fashioned gold watch under the pillow of the prisoner's bed. The inside case of the gold watch was inscribed with the initials, P. A. P. J. and K., with 18 over, No. 4,112. Inspector Kerressey then produced a good deal of valuable property, the pawnbrokers' duplicates relating to more, and requested a remand. Mr. Woolryoh remanded the prisoner for a week. TBIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market were very moderate, but the condition of the samples being good, sales progressed steadily, at fully Monday's quotations. There was a fair show of samples of foreign wheat on offer, and a moderate amount of business was transacted in most descriptions at extreme rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, and prices were well supported. - Fine malting barley sold steadily, at extreme currencies ; otherwise the barley trade ruled inactive, on former terms. Malt moved off slowly, at late rates. For oats, the supply of which was moderate, the trade was in a sluggish state, at about Monday's quotations. Beans met a slow sale, at Monday's decline in their value. The show of samples was tolerably extensive. Peas were in slow request, on former terms. On the whole, the flour trade was steady, and prices ruled firm. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. Eng1i5h........ 930 520 ) 1,570 1,410 ' 1 480 sack..

In other kinds the inquiry is mostly confined to inferior qualities, for exportation and porta. brewing. WHITECHAPEL. The supply of meat is moderate, and the demand rules steady, at the annexed rates :—Beef, from 2e 8d to 4s 2d ; mutton, 3s Od to 4s 4d ; veal, 4s Od to 5s Od ; and pork, 3s 8d to 4s 8d per 81bs by the carcase. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f 15c per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cant. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.5, per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 113 to 114 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 3i per cent. At these rates the importation of gold from the United States would leave a trifling profit. FRUITS PRESERVED IN SPIRITS.--The Lords of the Treasury have approved, as an experimental measure for six months, of the admission into this country of fruits preserved in spirits, at the duty of 10s. sd. per gallon, the fruit being included in the assessment. The officers at the various ports of the United Kingdom have been instructed to report the effect of the measure at the end of the six months to the Commissioners of Customs. INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—The SCOTS of Meyerbeer's contribution to the performance at the opening of the Exhibition has been received by her Majesty's Com missioners, who have placed it in the hands of Signor Costa, to whom they have intrusted the direction of their musical arrangements. The maestro, who had undertaken to write only a march for the occasion, has, we understand, in a fit of enthusiasm inspired by his subject, composed an elaborate overture, which is likely to prove net one of the least attractive features of the programme of the opening ceremonial. The works promised by Signors Verdi and Auber are hourly expected. A German journal relates the following anec dote, on the authority of a traveller recently returned from Africa :—" A wealthy Arab residing near the frontiers of Morocco, lately paid his first visit to Algiers, and was pre sent at a ball. On his return home.he said to his wives ' What strange creatures these French women are! Would you believe it I)—they absolutely carry an open umbrella under their petticoats Such was the idea formed of cri noline by this son of IVlahomet," 46i 7 .ILWAYS 61 , -p 11 11 12 4i 4 I 1 p 23 24 111 111 F# Si 20 21 89& 404 - - 8 10 84 7} 424 431 1 53 65 211 13 15 8 1 8 91 011 fpm 285 295 i 7 1 7 1 10 105' 215 225 ES. i i 31 83 405 415 17 60 301 31 1 1 f lif 21 12 14 } 4 4i 6 1 7 21 31 35 37 21 9 42 (4 10 107 id pm 4 1 6} 31 4 If 21 7 8 40 42 if it 315 '25 2# 3 95 165 29 11 1# 11 9# 10# 14 13# 40 t 2 270 280 974 104 65 70 1# 11 11 12 15 16 17 18 111 ; 13 141 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

There was half a length between the second and third. Ladybird brought up the rear throughout. The Park Stakes of 5 soya, with 20 added, did not fill. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—TUESDAY. There was very little done on any future event. For the Little John Stakes nothing was invested upon but Livingstone. For the Grand National Steepleehase, Harry was freely supported at 25 to 1; and the same price would have been taken about Brunette, but 20 to 1 was declined.

SMALL-BORE COMPETITION. The trial of the rifles is at length concluded, after six days spent as much in quarreling as in shooting. Yester day the competitors went in at one o'clock, Mr. Ingram, who retired on the previous day, of course excepted. At the close Mr. Whitworth was understood to be ahead, Mr. Turner being second, and Mr. Henry third; another autho rity, however, reversing the position of the latter gentle man. This evening, it is to be hoped, the computations of the values of the various diagrams will b e rea d y, an d we expect to be able to give them in our impression of to morrow. After the last diagram had been checked, Lord Elcho, calling around him the council, the competitors, and the representatives of the press, said that the trial was over, but that there was no definite results as yet attainable. Some statements had been made in the papers to which the council took strong and just objection. The council wished the competition to be carried on openly, but they wished it to be accurately reported, and this some of the papers had not done. The council objected that unfounded statements should go forth to the public, for their only object had been to conduct the trial fairly and impartially. When Mr. Ingram objected, the council offered to cancel Mr. Whitworth's diagram, but to this Mr. Ingram would not consent. The matter of the two shots in that diagram was the only tangible objection which had been raised. He wished to know whether the competitors would sign the letter (a copy of which we gave yesterday) acquitting the council of all partial dealing. Mr. Terry objected to sign the paper, and handed in his protest. Lord Eleho said that the substance of the complaint of Mr. Terry was about the use of the chnometre by Mr. Whitworth. The council were accused of permit ting advantage to be taken of the ignorance of the five competitors. Why, the council had done good to those gentlemen in teaching them their trade I The rests used were no secret; there were drawings of them published, and they were widely used. The council had thought it best that every competitor should bring his own rest, and that one should be provided for any gunmaker who did not bring his own. The trade had remonstrated• against the ad use of different rests, and the council, to please them had altered their rules. Now they were complaining of the a lte r ation in the rules. If there was any partiality shown it was by the target, and not by the council. General Hay indignantly repudiated the imputation of partiality. He himself had taken tho trouble of showing Mr. Henry, at Hythe, how to bring the best out of his rifle, and had there produced with. Mr. Henry's rifle a dia gram showing a deviation of only 1.941 Did that look like partiality. Lord Elcho said that Mr. Turner admitted that the coun cil had taught him something, and last year he sent three of his riles as prizes to Wimbledon as a reward. Would Mr. Turner's representative sign the paper ? General Hay said that the competitors had really had everything their own way. Some angry conversation having ensued respecting a dis puted shot of one of Mr. Turner's rifles, Lord Elcho said that the council would on another occa sion object to any but principals appearing as competitors. Mr. Turner's representative having declined to sign, Mr. Henry said that he was satisfied the council "wished" nothing but fairness, although much unpleasantness had arisen. He offered to sign the paper if it were altered so as to convey that the council "desired to see fair play." As that was not agreed to he declined to sign it. General Hay, who here completely lost his temper, said that the plain English of it was that Mr. Whitworth's was the best rifle, and they were all afraid of it; therefore t hey accused him of favouring it. A stormy discussion ensued, Lora Elcho saying th at Mr. Whitworth really had all the other competitors at a disad vantage, for he had all the appliances and machinery. (A. Competitor—Yes, bought with the nation's money 1) Mr. Whitworth's rifle was made by the rules of science, the others by the rule of thum. (Oh, oh I) Mr. Rigby having volunteered to amend the paper, it was taken into the tent, and on its reappearance it co ntained the names of all the competitors present, some of whom, however, immediately afterwards protested that they did not know what they had signed, and when they were told it was substantially the same as the former paper, they were much annoyed, and declared themselves, to u se th e phrase of one of them, " diddled." We leave the matter with the simple observations that if the gunmakers find themselves beaten and lowered in pub lic estimation they have but themselves to thank.

MANCHESTER, MARCH 4.—The yarn market has bean very quiet, with little business doing for any market. Prices remain very firm, and some yarns made out of American cotton are rather dearer than before. In reference to a subject which has been noticed several times in our recent reports, Messrs. Du Fay and Co., in their review of the market issued this month, observe that " The use of Surat and other East Indian cotton is becoming more general, and the objections formerly entertained about Surats is wearing off. Spinners who have exclu sively used it latterly find an advantage instead of a disadvantage in doing so; nor do the con tinental buyers of yarns, particularly of water twist, object to it under present circumstances." The tone ofthe cloth trade has been very fiat today. The discouraging accounts from India have a serious effect opon business in Manchester, and caused buyers for that quarter to withdraw altogether from the piece-goods market. An impression that the settlement of American affairs has been brought into nearer view is also affecting the trade generally and there seems to be no inquiry for fabrics of any description. In order to effect sales considerably , lower prices would have to be taken than manu facturers have been holding for during the last two or three weeks ; but there is ne disposition to make the requisite abatement, unless here and there in some case of exceptional weakness. As a general rule, producers continue very firm in their quota tions. During the past month the the prices of yarns and cloth have been slowly advancing. The rise has been from lid. to 3d. per piece for 7-8 printers, abo u t 1 fd . for madapollams, d. to 2d. for 9- 8 printers, 1-id. to 3d. for 9-8 shirtings, a full lid. for 51b. to 71b. 5-4 shirtings, and 3d. for 81b. to 9ib. makes. In some cases India jaconets are 10. dearer, and T-cloths from lfd. to 3d. dearer • but there is much irregularity in the prices asked for similar kinds. Longcloths and demestics have hardened, though the rates are not quotably higher. The re turns of Captain Palin of the state of employment in Manchester, made up to this morning, show that 14,495 persons are on short time, and- 6,977 are wholly out of employ, against 26,306 in full em ployment. This is a rather unfavourable return as compared with last week, but the change is slight, the numbers then on short time being 14,572, and out of work 6,857. In the disti.ae around Manchester we hear of but little change. Messrs. Du Fay and Co. say :—" It is satisfactory to notice that the aid which has thus far been afforded to the workpeople out of employ has prevented an undue amount of distress, and that we shall in all probability pass the severe ordeal comparatively well if the dissensions in America are brought to a speedy conclusion, which opinion many well-informed people seem to entertain at present. The present uncertainty as to the price of the raw material prevents merchants from em barking in large transactions, No doubt it will be some time before American cotton can be ex pected to arrive in this country, but the fact that it is in existence and may possibly come sooner than can now be calculated upon prevents pur chases for distant markets at present high rates. Preparations to grow cotton in almost every part suitable for cultivation must take time, but ultimately an increased production will act upon. the markets. If the cottons of the last American crop were to be destroyed, and could under no cir. cumstances reach our market here, prices, however high, would be more willingly paid than they are now. The enhancement of the value of cotton fabrics will enable holders at over-stocked markets to rea lise, and, less being sent now, demand may later on be felt where now abundance keeps the selling prices far below what they are here." The following is the weekly report issued this evening by Messrs. John Slagg and Co.:—" The limited demand for goods which existed previous to Friday last has gradually fallen off, and to day we have an exceed ingly quiet market in all departments. arseaoxeldessaotbfer Nom inally bothrd.t pr ices are the same as on Tuesday last, but h ere an d there a disposition is shown to give way a littl e, Without, however , leading to much busin ess ."

ROCHDALE, 3D,—The flannel and wool markets to-day have not shown much animation. Parchases were made cautiously, but prices, those of flannels as well as those of wools, are held firmly. Manu facturers are showing some inclination to further restrict their rate of production, but general there is as much doing as there has been for some time, and stocks, though increasing, are not very heavy. The Yorkshire goods trade is dull. COURT-MARTIAL ON CAPTAIN BOBER TSO.7: FIFTEENTH DAY—MONDAY. The court-martial on Captain Robertson was resumed this day in the Victoria Library, Royal Barracks. Troup Sergeant. Major M'Claughny was sworn, and examined by the prisoner, and after some evi dence of no great importance, the defence was closed. President—l understood you were going to make some remarks upon the evidence. Captain Robertson—l respectfully ask the Court not to call upon me to read my defence until the evi dence is closed. The President--The prosecution is closed, and you are on your defence. You must close it before we take any further steps ; we will, perhaps, then recal some of the witnesses we had before us, to elucidate certain points which have developed themselves since they gave their evidence. We wish you to do this when you finish your defence. The prosecutor has announced his intention to impugn the credi bility of some of your witnesses, and that 'will be the time for him to ask his witnesses to discredit yours. You will then be at liberty to bring any witnesses you choose to set up the credibility of your witnesses, and to make any remarks you please upon the evidence elucidated. The prosecu tor will then make a rejoinder upon the whole case. You must now conclude your defence before we take any further steps. Captain Robertson—l would desire leave to make some remarks upon the testimony of the witnesses, and I would wish for an adjournment of two days, y to ou a r id rr c a o n n g s et e h r e at r i e om marks I would desire to submit to The President—The Court will grant your appli cationisahnato call some of the witnesses.

Assuming that your evidence was true, did it occur to you that when you wrote that letter you were writing an untruth, calculated to injure Col. Dickson, and place his conduct in a false position —No, sir ; I wrote that letter immediately subse quent to Capt. Robertson's statement that he would have full satisfaction or an ample apology, with the view of giving him every opportunity there of vin dicating his honour and that of the regiment; and the facts stated in that letter, as far as regards the conversation between Capt.

Sauvogeon, of Valence, has studied the different phenomena which a re p roduced in a cup of coffee when the sugar is put into it, and the result of those observations transforms the d emi-tasso into a baro meter. "If, in sweetening your coffee," says M. Sauva geon, "you allow the sugar to dis solve without stirrin g th e liquid, the globules of air con tained in the sugar will rise , to the surface of the liquid.
