V 6 4,880 MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, completed to the sth March, is of a rather unsatisfactory character. There is a farther slight falling off in the bullion, while a considerable decrease is apparent in the reserve of notes. An addition to some extent has been made to the other securities, and there is a large diminution in the private deposits. The sub joined table shows the various items and the changes they present : Active Circulation Increase .. Bullion Decrease .. Rest Increase .. Public Deposits Increase .. Other Deposits..

Government Securities In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi ness was exceedingly dull, and prices declined about id per lb. The sales were barely 2,500 bales. During the last few days there has been rather less animation exhibited in the Foreign and Colo nial Produce markets ; prices, however, have in same instances shown a buoyant tendency. Sugars fully maintained previous rates, while high prices were readily obtained for good and fine descriptions of coffee and cocoa. Rice has continued in mode rate request at steady rates, while a slight advance has taken place in the value of saltpetre. Tallow has continued inactive, and quotations for both pre sent and forward delivery have shown little varia tion of importance. The following circular was issued this afternoon by Sir Henry Muggeridge. Meanwhile, the im pression is undiminished that the liquidation will be unfavourable. Sir Henry is stated to have re signed to day his position as Alderman. The lia bilities of the house are now said to consist of about £50,000 to unsecured creditors, £50,000 to mort gage creditors, and £70,000 to trust creditors, who it is supposed are but imperfectly secured. For some little time past questions regarding the latter have been proceeding in the Court of Chancery : " 1, Hart-street, Mark lane, C.E., March 6. " I exceedingly regret to inform you that my firm of H. and E. Muggeridge has - been obliged to suspend payment. I have, with the concurrence of the principal creditors, placed the books of the firm in the hands of Messrs. Cole man, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., who will forthwith pre ,pare a statement of affairs to be laid before the creditors for their consideration at a meeting, of which:due notice will be given. In the meanwhile I must ask your kind forbear ance.—l am yours faithfully, " H. MUGGERIDGE."

The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 94 92x; Exchequer Bills are 19s. to 22 a. prem.; Bank Stock has declined to 240; India ditto, 225 ; ditto 5 per Cent. 106 k 107 k ; and the Debentures, 1008.

(Before the Lords Justices.) Their lordships were engaged the whole day in hearing the arguments in Mr. Scott Rutsell's case. The petition of Mr. 'Windham stands over. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell and a Common Jury.) DURROL GLIS V. InTDROLTGIit3 AND SILCOCK. This was a suit instituted by Mr. Thomas Proctor Bur roughs, a solicitor, practising at Stalham, in Lincolnshire, for a:divorce on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, who is in business at Stalham with his father, a wino and spirit merchant. The petitioner also claimed damages for the alleged injury he had sustained. The respondent denied the charge, which she recriminated, pleading adultery by the petitioner with three females, and the co-respondent merely pleaded denial. It will be remem bered that there was a cross suit, in which the respondent petitioned the Court for restitution of conjugal rights, and the learned judge deferred judgment until the issues in the present case were decided. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., this morning opened the case for the co-respondent, Mr. Silcock, and said it was the first case in which he had been engaged in which a claim had been set up for damages in which not the slightest evidence had been given to show the terms upon which the two parties lived after marriage. He intended to call witnesses to re fute the evidence given by the Rev. Mr. White, and although his learned friend had said Mrs. Burroughs could not be acquitted of the charge made against her without finding Mr. White guilty of perjury, he could not assent to that doctrine, and he could not understand how that gentleman could have received Mrs. Burroughs into his house after she had conducted herself in the manner he had described. Mr. White had also stated that he saw the act of adultery committed on the 16th of March between the hours of three and four; but he should call witnesses to prove that at four o'clock on the afternoon of the day mentioned, Mr. Silcock was at the house of an elderly lady named Weeds, seven miles from Stalham, as late as four o'clock in the afternoon, so that he could not have returned to Stalham before five o'clock at the earliest ; and, therefore, it must have been well dusk when the scene Mr. White had spoken to as having seen it Mn - Rurrouglas' house could have occurred —certainly it could not have been daylight as he had described. The case will not conclude to-day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE FRANKSON. This bankrupt was a builder in Westminster• road, and came up for his last examination and discharge. 'no bank rupt was in custody. The debts and liabilities amount to about £B,OOO, but the assets are nearly or fully to that amount. Mr. Sorrell, Mark-lane, applied for the bankrupt's dis charge from custody, and asked for an adjournment for six weeks to enable the bankrupt to furnish accounts. His Honour said that the examination had been once ad journed for that purpose. Mr. Sorrell submitted that this case ought to be taken as though it were the first meeting, as the bankrupt had been adjudicated to be so, against his urgent protest, on the first 'visitation of the registrar under the new act. The bank '-'rupt objected to the adjudication, inasmuch as he being a builder had entered into certain contracts, and the whole of the property would become forfeited in the event of the ad judication in bankruptcy taking place. He (Mr. Sorrell) had on the last occasion obtained enlargement of the time until this day for the bankrupt to surrender, to give him an opportunity , but on investig a ti ng the affairs ho (tMo su nS p o er r s r e el d l e ) found that the pay ment of the creditors w hefor d e.m epeenndtineoontbd ; and although the reali a sa lt t h io o no h f tmhoerbtgaangkerdupptrowpaesrt &c., anxious to do all he could for the benefit of his creditors generally, and to prevent any particular creditor from obtaining the advantage of the forfeiture, yet as an ant of justice to himself, seeing that he had been in prison several months, he submitted to the adjudication. His Honour, therefore, could see that this was not an ordi nary case of a bankrupt acting contumaciously. His Honour granted the release, and adjourned the exa mination till the 28th April. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Jury.) LEDIARD Y. COLLIHR-ExTRAORD/NARY CASE OF THE TIPPLING ACT. This was an action brought in the Court of Common Pleas to recover £2 7s. 6d. for champagne, brandy and gin and-water, and cigars. Defendant pleaded never indebted except as to 155., the Tippling Act, and payment of 15s. into court. Mr. Robertson Griffiths appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Philbrick for defendant. Plaintiff said an innkeeper, of Colchester, and defendant hw waeaaats formerlyravelle traveller in the employment of a firm which supplied plaintiff with spirits. Plaintiff owed this firm an amount, and defendant called for payment. As usual in such cases, defendant gave an order, and that was for four bottles of champagne. It was very good and went off with a "pop." (Laughter.) He went away without paying, and subsequently, upon a future occasion, he par took of cigars and brandy and gin and water to the extent of 19s. 6d. The champagne was eharged at 7s. per bottle. Cross. examined—l had been married about six months before tr,js affair..., I did not stand a bottle of champagne. He did not tender me half-a-sovereign as payment of the wine. He paid nothing towards the champagne. I never said, " You've stood one, and I've stood one, and now I'll stand another." Nor did I say, "If you pay half-a-sove reign that will be sufficient." He did not pay half-a-sove reign in my presence to my daughter, who was barmaid. I did not refuse to accept payment for the brandy and water and cigars upon any occasion. Mr. Collier gave evidence against me upon a trial, and so far as that trial is concerned I have failed, and after that failure I brought this action. I have never gone by the name of Leonard. Mr. Philbrick—l believe there has been some dispus about a wife of yours—about a double wife ? (Laughter.) Mr. Griffiths objected, and the question was not pressed. Mr. Philbrick urged that this was a spiteful case brought because defendant had ventured to give evidence against the plaintiff. Such a case as this ought never to have been brought in the superior court, and it was evidently taken to the court above for the purpose of making casts out of de fendant. By the tippling act it was clear that plaintiff could not recover, and whatever slur might be cast upon it, it was a time immemorial statute, not yet repealed. Defendant said that when he called upon plaintiff, that person insisted upon " standing" a bottle of champagne before anything was done. That was drunk, and then plain tiff refused to settle unless witness stood a bottle. Then witness stood one, and finally a third was brought, but wit ness refused to partake of it. Witness threw down 10s. as payment of the bottle he stood, and plaintiff took it up and kept it. Plaintiff refused to settle the account until the wine was stood. Witness never had more than Is. 6d. worth of brandy and water, and then plaintiff would not accept the money for it. Witness gavo evidence against plaintiff in a Chancery suit. Cross-examined—ln reference to the Chancery suit, my principals gave bills to the extent of £7OO for the Angel, and that was the agreement. I do not know that a great sum was lost in cashing the bills. Ido not know if plain tiff went to Australia as an actor. He went to the gold fields. Mr. Griffiths—Yes, and you have some of his gold. Mr. Miller, one of defendant's employers, was called and examined as to the spirits consumed upon the occasion of his visit. Cross-examined—The gin was not as I sent it, It was adulterated, and was not nice. Ido not know about sugar, but there was a great deal of water in it. (Laughter.) I advised him about the adulteration. The house was a dis reputably conducted one. I was in it for three hours. I am not ashamed of myself, as I wont to buy the house. the tills I gave are due in July and December, and will then be paid. i'laintiTs daughter said he was barmaid to her father, and : - ,he proved taking the half-sovereign paid by de fendant. Croee•eaamined—l have had a difference with my father. He knocked me about. Re-examined—l left through his ill-usage, but I have sworn the truth today. Mr. Philbrick then argued that he had made out his case, and Mr. Griffiths said this wasp most painful case, but plaintiff had certainly made his out. The learned Secondary, in summing up, remarked that the plaintiff's daughter had come here under subpama, and though it might be called hard, she was bound to speak the truth, and it was improper to oast a doubt upon her evi dence. The learned Secondary said that the plaintiff could not recover the spirits, but the cigars did not come under the provisions of the act. The jury found for the defendant. The costs in this case will be above 420. - PROTECTION OF LIFE FROM FlRE.—Last night, at the chain cable and anchor works belonging to Messrs. Brown, Lennox, and Co., Millwall, Poplar, experiments were tried for the purpose of further testing Bradbrook's smoke and noxious vapour respirators. Among those present P.R.S., th e pa t en t ee o f th e newly were invented fire-engine n Mr. G or d on, th e i nspec t or o f e- R en the Royal Society for th e Protection of Life from Fire ; and con d uc tors Samuel Wood, Prest on, H orton, an d C oo k e. The whole of these persons took part in th e ex p er i men t s . In an iron fire - pro of oven, abo ut the size of an ordinary room, a large charcoal fire was mad e, which was fed for some Roberts,ob ge ; time with paraffin oil, turpentine, assafeetida, gas tar, and wet straw, when a dense and suffocating smoke was pro duced. Mr. Gordon, Mr. Roberts, and his sons, with the whole of the escape men, with the respirator on their mouths, en tered the oven. They remained for a period of 131 minutes. In addition to the above ingredients a large quantity of sublimate of copper, a deadly po i son, was also put upon the furnaces, an d yet the whole of the persons in the oven were enabled to breathe without the least difficulty. The only inconvenience they e?Lperienced arose from the excessive heat. The Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire were so satisfied with the experiments that they have ordered a number of the respirators for the use of the CPU" d uotors. The apparatus is exceedingly light and any one wearing it can s p eak freel y wi thout the least danger of in jialing 494.!4 smoke Uezions vapour.

(Before Mr. Comiurnissioner Kerr.) ROIII3ERY BY A SERVANT. Riohard Whittington, John Edward;, - and Smith were indicated, the first two f)r receiving, the latter with stealing a quantity of oats and other seed the property of his employer. The jury found all the prisoners guilty. The Judge sentenced Whittington and Edwards to three years' penal servitude, and as the jury had recommended Smith to mercy he ordered him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 months. This terminated the business of the session. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A FATHER'S RECOGNISANCE FOR HIS CHILD Es- TREATED.—Sarah Howard, a girl, 11 years of age, was charged before Mr. Yardley with stealing a cloak from the shop of Mr. John Garmeson, linendraper, of Totten ham-court-road. Thomas Woodall, assistant to Mr. Garmeson, said— About five o'clock yesterday afternoon I saw the prisoner pass and repass several times, trying to knock the cloak off a pile by the door by pushing her shoulder against it. At last she took it from the pile and ran away; I then sent a young man after her, and she dropped it. I had suspected that she was about to take something. Mr. Yardley—lf you suspected she was going to take the cloak, why did you not stop her from doing so ? She is only 11 years of age, and was tempted, and if you had prevented it she would not have been brought here. The witness—lt was unpinned in the course of the after noon two or three times. Mr. Yardley—And yet you let it be taken ; it was very wrong cf you. Are you sure it was on the pile when she took it ? The witness—l am. Alfred Mitchell, 298 A, said he received the cloak from one of the assistants, and the girl said she did not steal but found it on the ground when she passed. She had been once before at the court, and her father had been bound over in the sum of £2O to take care of her for two years. Charles Howard, the girl's father, here stepped forward. Mr. Yardley—This is not the first time your daughter has been here. Father—She was here once for a paltry thing. Mr. Yardley—Don't talk about a paltry thing—it was a felcny. She was convicted of stealing, and you were bound over in the sum of £2O for her good conduct for two years. Do you know you have forfeited the sum of £2O P If you only picked it up and walked away with it, you committed an offence. Ido net envy the young man who let such a girl walk away with a thing instead of trying to prevent it. She was strongly tempted to steal the cloak, thinking she would escape notice, and though she was seen, no one tried to prevent her. You (to the father) seem to have been re gardless of your duty. You have forfeited the sum of £2O, and if these penalties are not enforced it will become a joke to impose them. I shall order your recognisance to be entreated, and if you do not pay you will go to gaol. The father said he could not pay it. Mr. Yardley—ls there not a reformatory at Hampstead ? The Clerk said there was, but he did not think they would take the girl in for less than £2O. Mr. Yardley-1 never heard such a thing. It is perfeot nonsense to think of paying that sum. The Clerk said that he believed that was the sum stated in a case when Sir R. W. Carden interfered at this court. Mr. Yardley said he should remand the girl with a view of getting her into a reformatory. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were much restricted. Good and fine samples changed hands steadily, at full quotations ; but inferior parcels met a slow sale, at about previous rates. . There was a fair show of samples of foreign wheat, ex granary. The amount of business doing was by no means extensive, yet no change took place in the currencies com pared with Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, and prices ruled fair. Fine barley moved off steadily, at quite previous rates but other kinds heavily, on former terms. The malt trade was dull, at late rates. The supply of oats was moderately good, and the trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. Beane and peas moved off heavily, at about previous quotations. The flour trade was rather inactive, yet prices were fairly supported. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. 1,490 ( 740 1 2,393 I 1,430 11,950 sack-.

THE MILITARY STOCK.—I would next, at once, entirely and for ever, abolish that infinitely worse than use ful instrument of torture—the leathern stock. It is true that of late years the stock has been somewhat modified both as to material and size, Lut why should it be worn at all ? Would any roan, not a maniac, wear such a thing willingly at any time, more especially when about to undergo as much physical exertion as a soldier has even on a common field. day ? Why should our troops be the only men in England or the colonies whose windpipes must be compressed before they are considered fit for duty ? Have we not the written testimony of the best writers on military surgery, and the verbal opinion of nearly every medical man who has done duty with soldiers, that the stock has caused or aggravated innumerable diseases, and is answerable for a number of deaths in the ranks? What is the last article of dress every soldier puts on when getting ready for parade, and the first he takes off when parade is over ? The stock, When a man falls out of the ranks sick or faint, what is the first—the only—part of his dress of which his comrades relieve him ? The stock. Or, when too ill to speak, to what does his hand move mechanically, if it be still griping hi s neck ? Always the stock I I have seen again and again, both in England and India, men fall out'from the ranks during the manoeuvres, looking deadly pale, and almost as if about to die ; but when their stocks were removed they at once revived. Yet to this abominable relic of stiff Prussian dress, which Frederick the Great considered soldierlike, tary authorities adhere with a tenacity that would be abso lutely incredible if it were not within our positive know ledge.—All the Year Round. ATROCIOUS CRUELTY.—On Monday last two young men, named Thomas Oakes and William Merryman, were charged before the Dudley magistrates with wanton cruelty to a cat. The prosecution was instituted by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It ap• peared that on the 18th of February a cat wandered Info the workshop where the defendant were employed, when one of them (Merryman) tied itslegs together, while Oakes covered its body with oil. Having thoroughly saturated the animal's fur with oil, they set fire to it, first untying its legs. The poor creature was in a Flap in a moment, and ran about the shop uttering the most pitiful cries. The cruel tormentors, however, only laughed at its pain, until the unfortunate animal set fire to some shavings in the room, when they threw water over the shavings, but left the poor cat to burn. A third person who was present then threw water over the cat, and, to put an end to its misery, stoned it to death. The magistrate inflicted the highest penalty allowed by the law (a) in each CPO, with costs. The half of the penalty which goes to the informer was handed over by the Royal Society to the Dudley Dis pensary! This Day.) COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. Can.

This race was one of the most mysterious and disastrous affairs ever wimessed, Jacob coming down several times during the journey. Diadem refused the first flight of hurdles, and ran out a long way. At the second fence she again refused, and was pulled up and walked home, with out any cheers greeting the rider on entering the enclosure. Spiteful Dick could not be persuaded to get over the first obstacle, whilst Eheu's continual refusals gave such an ad vantage to Jacob that, although refusing more than once, ho came in a winner by at least a quarter of a mile.

The Premier, as usual, went off at score, having Duhal low and Pine Apple at his quarters, Sweet William going on fourth, Bantam last. In this order they went along the back stretch, and over the fence at the turn for home, where the lot took close order, and came on to the water jump opposite the stand, which Premier charged first, and swerving to the left, jumped on to one of the rails, which flew in two, and Premier was the wrong side of the rails. The other four got well over, Sweet William lying in front, with Bantam and Duhallow close together, second and third, Pine Apple lying off. This order was maintained round the Canal-bridge turn, and along the far side, until turning for home, where Premier (who had gone on in the rear) and Sweet William pulled up and walked in. As th remaining trio were seen returning for home, it was a moo point to decide which had the lead, the favourite or Pin Apple, and side by side they came along the straight to th• last flight of hurdles, both charging, them at the sam moment. Pine Apple dwelling on landing, gave Duhallow a great advantage, which he improved .. every stride, win ning easily by four lengths, Bantam walking in a bad third ; the others did not pass the post.

A DOWN EAST JURYMAN. Ethan Spike contributes to the Portland Trans cript a sketch of his experience as a juryman. The first cases he was called to try were capital ones, the criminals being a German and a " nigger " re spectively. " Hey you formed any opinion for or agin the prisoners ? ' said the judge. "Not per ticular agin the Jarmin," says I, -" but I hate nig gers as a general principle, and shall go for hang ing this here old white-wooled - cuts whether h e killed Mr. Cooper or not," says " ' Do you know the nature of an oath ? " the clerk axed me. " I orter," says I. " I've use enough of 'em. I - begun to swear when I was only about---" " That'll do," says the clark. " Yon kin go hum," says he, " you won't be wanted in this ere case," says the clark, says he. " What !" says I, " ain't I to try this nigger at all ? " "No," says the clerk. But I'm a jewry man," says I, " and. you can't hang the nigger orders I've sot on him," says I. " Pass on." says the clark, speaking rather cross, " But," says I, " you, mister, you don't mean as y ou say . I' m a regular jewry man, you know. Drawed aout of the box by the seelick man," says I. " I've oilers had a han kering to hang a nigger, and now, when a merciful dispensatory seems to have provided one for me, you say I shan't sit on him.

Naow, Mr. Editor, let me ask what are we comin' to when jewrymen—logal, lawful jewrymen—kin be tossed about in this way ? Talk about Cancers, Mormons, spiritualism, free love and panics —what are they in comparison ? Here's a principle upset. As an individ ua l, per h aps, I ' m of no great account; t'ant for me to say ' • but when a s an en li ghtened jewryman I was tuk and carried down stairs by profane hands, just for asserting my right to sit on a nigger —why it seem to me the pillows of society were shook; that in my sacred person the hull State itself was, figgeratively speaking, kicked. down stairs! if thar s law in the land I'll have this case brought under a writ of habeas Corpul icksey Dieksit."—New York Paper.

The General's carriages, furniture, &c., were transhipped from the South am pt on t o -d ay on b oard the Isle of Wight Mail Company's steamship Gem, f or conveyance to t h e Hard wicke, at Spithead. The Secretary to the Zool og i ca l S oc i e ty of London communicates the result of e x pe r i men t s made on three dif ferent occasions on the temperature of the body of the pythoness as compared with th a t of the male, which is in the same compartment in the reptile house, and is subject to exactly the same external circumstances. T he results, giving as they do a difference v arying from 6 deg. 8 min. to 20 deg. (of Fahrenheit's scale) in temperature in favour of the incubating female, prove conclusively (Mr. Sclater thinks) the truth of M. "Valencienne's views, as founded an on the similar case which occurred in th e Jardin du Planter of Paris in 1841, and s how that in t he case of thi s te" cold blooded vertebrate the heat of the female's body is abnor mally i n creased duri n g t he process of incubation. of the eggs, which was opened on the 15th day of incuba tion, con tained a living emb r y o python about 5 inches in length, which," writes Mr. Solater, 44 is now before me." loot .`
