MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Owing to the recent movements in the Money Market the Bank of England return, compiled for the week endingWednesdaylast, exhibits alterations of rather an important character. The position of the establishment is still indicative of a large accu mulFtion of resources, but if the bulk of the paper brought forward by the mercantile community con. tinues to be taken to the authorities for negotiation, and should gold be required to any large extent for exportation, there is reason to believe that an ad vance will shortly be made in the minimum rate of discount. It will be seen from the subjoined arkalysis that the bullion has been largely trenched vim, while a considerable augmentation has taken place in the discounts:— Active Circulation. ..

Payments of 10 per cent, on the Turkish Loan of £8,000,000, and of 5 per cent. on the Russian Loan, were effected yesterday. The total amount of the Turkish Loan now paid up in full is £5,150,000. The Money Market remains in a very firm posi tion, and bankers and brokers do not appear at all anxious to transact much business at the current quotations, The consequence is, that the inquiries at the Bank of England are exceedingly numerous, and it Is generally expected that the next return from, that establishment will show a further con siderable augmentation in the stock of other secu-1 At the Bank of England, yesterday, the bullion operations were of an unimportant character. The dividend warrants on Chilian 41 per cent. Bonds will be paid on and after the 2d proximo. The Teutonia, from New York, has brought £36,260 in specie. The half -yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of British North America will take place on the 10th proximo. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, business was exceedingly dull, and prices tended downwards. The sales were only about 2,000 bales. During the last few days there has been rather less animation in the Market for Foreign and Colonial Produce. Tea, at public sale, realised full rates, and Assam qualities advanced 2d to 3d per lb. Coffee, owing to the high prices demanded, has been dull ; rice, fruit, and spices have continued at steady quotations, while saltpetre and tallow have teen a &wide cheaper. P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted 158 9d per cwt., and for the last three months 4:Bs 6d per cwt. CITY NEWS ---THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. The English Stock Market opened this morning With a quiet and steady appearance, and a mode rate amount of business has since been negotiated, without producing any effect of importance upon the general tendency of quotations.

Sentence, 12 months' imprisonment. ASSAULTING A WIFE. James Burton was indicted for feloniously assaulting his wife with intent, &c. The prisoner and his wife had only been married two years, there being one child, The wife separated from her husband on the ground of his alleged cruelty towards her; and on the day the assault took place the parties met in Phenix-street, Brick-lane, where the prisoner lived, and carried on the business of a shoemaker. Although gene rally a well-conducted man, the prisoner had been drinking, and on the refusal of the wife to return home he struck her with a shoemaker's knife and inflicted two wounds on her neck. Assistance being at hand, tht) woman was rescued and the prisoner was given into custody. •Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but strongly recom mended him to mercy. Sentence deferred till next session. _ _ Frederick Dickinson, pugilist, and John Harrington were charged with a robbery with violence, and stealing a gold chain, value £6, from William Tidy. It appeared that a quarrel took place at the White Lion public •house, Stepney, and the chain was missed after a scuffle. The jury acquitted both prisoners. DARING HOUsEBREAKING 47 TRANMERE. Yesterday afternoon a case of housebreaking oc - curred at Lower Tranulere, accompanied with daring impudence and brutality on the part of the thieves not often heard of in that locality. About half-past 3 o'clock, a lady who resides in a house not far from the railway noticed three men lounging about near the residence of Mr. Arthur, one of the Sea Bank villas, and was induced to watch them. She saw one of these men proceed to the rear of the premises, and enter by the back door, and shortly afterwards the two other men, who had remained in the front of the house, entered by the front door, Thinking there was something suspicious in this, she sent her daughter across to the house of Mr. Edward Cords, joiner and builder, whose residence is in the imme diate vicinity of Mr. Arthur's, and to whom Sea Bank Villas belong.. On h ear i ng w h at had taken place, Mr. Corns at once went to the house in question, and found the _three m en i n th e s i tt i ng room. The moment Mr. Cords made his appear ance the fellows pretended to be bailiffs come to " take possession," and one of them took out a book and began writing, as though he was t a ki ng an ni inventory. Mr. Cor s nquired their business there and offered to give them every or any information they required. The scoundrels made no reply, but taking life-preservers from their pockets, they made a murderous assault on the unfortunate gentleman, beating him about the head and face most unmerci fully. He shouted murder with all his might, an d fortunately for him his cries were heard by some of his workmen and the neighbours, who rushed to the rescue. Finding they were i n d anger, the cowardly assailants beat a retreat , runn i ng i n different directions. Two of them bolted from the house by the front door across the ad joining fields, pursued by the workmen and other people, who raised a hue and cry that attracted general attention. Several of the county police were on duty in the neighbourhood at the time, and joined in the pursuit. One of the housebreakers was appre hended by police officer No. 110 (Potts) in the Old Chester-road, and another by No. 198 (Jas. Oakes) at the corner of Queen -street. The third man made his exit by the back door of Mr. Arthur's house, and succeeded in effecting his escape. The police made every exertion to capture him, but up to a late hour last night they had not been successful. As sistance was rendered to Mr, Corris as soon as pos sible. He was found covered with blood, and we regret to state that he has sustained great injury — a severe contused wound on the left side of the head, another contused wound on the shoulde r , an d others on various parts of the body; and he has lost a considerable quantity of blood. Dr. Gorst and other medical gentlemen were speedily in attendance upon him, and it is satisfactory to know that no immediate danger is anticipated. It seems that at the time their house was entered Mr. and Mrs. Arthur had gone from home, and shortly after they left the servant a l so went out, so th a t it i s ev i dent the scoundrels h a d b een loung i ng a b out in the vicinity, and had watched for an opportunity of committing the depredation unmolested by the in mates. Though they had been but a few minutes in the house they had ransacked a portion of it, and carried off a quantity of jewellery, which they dropped in their flight, and it was taken possession of by the police. The two captured men were con veyed to the county lock-up, where they still re main. They are respectably dressed, but they are no doubt w e ll acqua i nte d w i t h th i s k in d of busi ness. A number of skeleton keys were found upon one of them, we understand. They refuse to give their names. Th e lif e preservers with which they attacked Mr. Cords are in the hands of the police. —Liverpool Mercury. MARKETS---THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. There was a moderate, but by no means extensive show of samples of English wheat on sale here to-day, and the trade was in a sluggish state for all qualities at fully Mon day's fall in the currencies of is to 2s per quarter. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. There was no improvement in the demand for any description, yet no quotable change took place in prices, compared with Monday. A fair business was doing in cargoes of grain afloat, on about former terms. Barley moved off heavily, and the quotations had a downward tendency. The inquiry for malt was confined to actual wants at late rates. Good and fine oats were in steady request at full quota tions; but inferior qualities sold slowly on former terms. There was a large supply of for3iga on sale. Beans and peas were firm at full prices. The flour trade was ia a sluggish state, at quite the re cent fall in the quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.

Lord CHELMSFORD put a question to the noble and learned lord on the woolsack, with reference to the schedule of fees paid on proceedings in the County Courts in accor dance with the order of two of her Majesty's Commissioners of the Treasury and the consent of the Lord Chancellor, dated April 10, 1862. He (Lord Chelmsford) particularly objected to the second paragraph in the order, which made compulsory the pay men t o f I s . i n a ll p l a i n t s w h ere the sum in dispute was under 40s. irrespective of costs. The LORD CHANCELLOR admitted that the order had been inadvertently drawn up, but he would take care to have it corrected.

According to that statement it appears that a challenge was sent from the members of this house to the members of the other house to meet them in a rifle contest, and you, Sir, were described as having sent a personal challenge to the Lord Chancellor. (Laught er. ) Lord ELCHO said that he thought he could explain the matter satisfactorily, and at the same time thought that the subject should not have been brought forward. He had received a letter from the right hon. gentleman the Speaker, expressing his surprise at the statement of the Lord Chancellor, that he h a d rece i ved a cha l lenge f r om him (the Speaker), and stating that he was engaged in reading a paper when a question was put to him on the matter of the contest between the members of the two houses. He gave a hurried answor which had been misin terpreted. He had communicated its contents to the Lord Chancellor, and he certainly should never have thought that the subject would have been brought before the house. (Hear, hear.) He regret ted also that anything he might have said should have been the means of occasioning the right hon. gentleman (the Speaker) the slightest annoyance. The SPEAKER said—l wish to treat the matter ix per fect good humour, and I trust the house will do the same. (Hear, hear.) Since I occupied my present position I have had occasion to call members to order when they alluded to debates in the other house of Parliament. This, how ever, was an exceptional case, and the subject in question might be regarded as a message. (Laughter.) I do regret that the house should, even for a few minutes, have been occupied with such a matter. I disclaim hav ing had any intention to challenge the distinguished offi cers of the Crown alluded to—(hear, hear, and laughter)— and I believe no one could be more anxious to avoid com mitting this house. (Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said that no one could doubt for a moment the last statement of the right hon. gentleman, and he hoped there never would be any more serious colli sion between the two houses than would arise from the challenge of the Speaker to the Lord Chancellor. (Loud laughter.) TREATIES `Nun' CANADA. Mr. FITZGERALD asked her Majesty's Government whether they had received from her Majesty's Minister a copy of the report of the oommittee of the er H aift o i u os s nu e coh o f f ar ß ecei pP report rr oe : e s i e t n y t a t t r i e v a e t a i e s of w t i h t e h I C T n a i n t a e d d a States; and, o w n h t e h t e h o e p r , had been of the n receve u , s t e. here was any objection to lay it up on the papers Mr. i LAYARD xguestion h s e a f i e d re t t h h e e re h w eh a s s e. no_o_ D. objection to lay th l FORTS AT SPITHEA Mr. OSBORNE' asked the Secretary of State for War when the commis s i o ners for inquiring into the necessity for erecting forts at Spithead might be expected to communi cate their report to Parliament. Sir G. LEWIS said that he understood that the report of the Commissioners would be ready next week. OCCUPATION OF MEXICO. Sir G. BOWYER asked the First Lord of the Treasury, what information her Majesty's Government had received respecting the occupation of Mexico by France, and the intentions of the French Government regarding Mexico? Lord PALMERSTON said that the latest advices re ceived from the British Consul was that the French corps had advanced to Mexico. What were the intentions of the French, or any other foreign Government, it was not the duty of an English Minister to expound. His noble friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs had no objection to lay the papers on the subject on the table. SEIZURE OF THE " ORWELL." Mr. C. BENTIN CK asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he was aware that on the 3d day of May, 1861, a tribunal at Naples decided that the owners of the steamer Orwell were entitled to compensa tion from the Italian Government for the seizure of their vessel by the Garibaldians ; and whether he would forth with lay upon the table a copy of the judgment of that tri bunal. Mr. LAYARD said he was not aware that any such judgment had been pronounced, but he would make inqui ries. NES KS. LANDS CONNECTED WITH THE CITADEL OF HULL. Colonel DUNNE asked the Secretary of State for War whether certain lands, comprising part of the glacis or other wise connected with the citadel of Hull, had not been sold by the Board of Ordnance some years since; and whether the titles to such lands so sold are not invalidated by the recent opinions of the law officers of the Crown, al leged to have been given, as to the paramount rights of the Crown to those lands. Sir G. LBWIS said that the letter in question was per fectly valid. CHARITABLE DONATIONS, &c. (IRELAND) BILL. The O'CONOR DON asked the hon. member for the City of Waterford, whether it was his intention to proceed this session with the Charitable Donations and Bequt3.stB (Ireland) Biil. Mr. HASSARD said he would proceed with this bill on Monday week. COURTS MARTIAL. In reply to Mr. O'BRIRN, Sir G. LEWIS said that he had not at present any in tention to introduce a bill to alter the law relating to courts martial. No doubt th 3 subject was suggested by the trial which had recently taken place in Dul,7in, but he thou rht it would be precipitate to make any alteration merely on the experience of one case. Sir W. GALLWEY moved for a committee to inquire into the double appointment of Sir E. Pearson and Mr. Tite, M.P., to the chairmanship of Westminster Im provement Commission; for copies of a letter ad- dressed by the First Commissioner of Works to Westminster Improvement Commission, inquiring whether the chairman of the commission " will be entitled to any emolument or allowances :" and, of the First Com missioner's correspondence with the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, Mr. Tite, M.P., and Sir E. Pearson, rela tive 10 these appointments. Mr. COWPER justified his conduct in this matter in his official capacity. [LEFT SPEAKING.] LONDON GAZETTE.—(Thu Evening.) WAR• OFFICE, PALL-MALL, MAY 16.
