MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The supply of money in the general discount market continues abundant, and accommodation is consequently obtained by the commercial com munity on very easy terms. Although no quotable alteration has taken place, the upward tendency in the terms lately noticed has rather diminished, and bills are freely negotiated at about 22 per cent. During the next fortnight, however, pay ments towards the new Indian loan and other financial and mercantile arrangements may again produce symptoms of increased firmness. Still, there seems to be an impression that the Bank Directors will soon be compelled to reconsider their existing discount regulations, and if the movements exhibited in the last Gazette return are further developed, the weekly meetings of the Court will be watched with greater interest than for a long time past. The Indian authorities have issued an amended prospectus for the new loan. In order to accom modate the Hebrew party, who on the 19th inst. will be observing their holidays, the date for the opening of the tenders has been altered to the 21st, and 25 per cent. only instead of 50 per cent. - will be required on the 6th May. The remaining 75 per cent, is to be paid in three instalments of 25 per cent, each, viz., on the 14th June, 19th July, and the 16th August. These changes have given satisfaction to capitalists and others interested in the operation, the original plan being considered very inconvenient. To-day a call of £2 per share, or £BO,OOO, is due on the Ceylon Railway. The only arrival of importance this morning is the La Plata, from the West Indies, with £104,400. At the Bank of England, yesterday, there were no bullion operations of importance. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, a very moderate business was transacted, and 6,000 bales were sold at barely previous values. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and prices tended upwards. In the market for public securities to-day, a moderate amount of business has been reported. Owing to a few sales on speculative account, prices have slightly declined, Consols being 95 to 951 ; but the market still exhibits considerable strength. The settlement in foreign stocks and railway shares occupies the chief attention of the dealers, and the transactions in English stocks are very limited. The New Threes and the Reduced are flat, at 931 to 941; the New 21 per Cents., however, have im proved to 791. Bank Stock is steady, at 223 to 2241; Exchequer Bills, 335. to 365. prem. India loan Debentures are rather firmer, at 96 to 97 ; and the Bonds (under £1,000) are marked 2s. to 7s. prem. A fair amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, and in most instances prices have slightly declined. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 871 to 88; ditto New 771- to 78 ; and the 4 per Cents. are marked 103. Brazilian 41 per Cents. have re ceded to 94, Belgian 41 per Cents. to 98, Dutch 21 per Cents. to 64, and ditto 4 per Cents. to 99. Venezuelan 5 per Cents., however, are rather firmer at 40 1 to 411, ditto Deferred at 161 to 171-, and Spanish Deferred at 301 a. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1859. Great Western £28,890 North-Western South-Western. Brighton 12,424 Midland South-Eastern Great Northern — Lancashire and Yorkshire Bristol and Exeter ' 6,136 North-Eastern East Lancashire 6,655 Lancaster and Carlisle Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln North Stafford,.... 7,381 South Devon Edinburgh and Glasgow 5,691 Glasgow and South-Western Scottish North-Eastern Grand Trunk of Canada. Great Western of Canada 7,901 1858. 27,198 66,543 13,723 13,198 28,986 17,454 The above traffic returns are in most instances of a very satisfactory character, and show the gradual iinpro-renacn.t of trade in the manufacturing districts. The increase on the Great Western is £1,692 ; on the North Western, £5,649 ; on the South Western, £1,178 ; on the Midland, £4,526 ; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, £2,449 ; on the South Eastern it is only £97, owing to the late prejudicial competition with the South Western. There is a decline on the Brighton of £774; and on the Great Western of Canada of £2,523. In the Railway Share Market business has been rather inactive, most of the dealers being engaged with the final settlement of the half-monthly ac count. Prices have shown a slight downward tendency in some instances, notwithstanding the favourable character of the traffic returns. Great Northern, Great Western, Lancashire and York shire have declined ss. ; Eastern Counties, Brighton, North Western, North Eastern (Berwick), and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln advanced ss. ; Caledonian, 10s.; and London and Blackwall, £l. In the Foreign Market scarcely any busineSs has been recorded. Lombardo-Venetian Old Shares have declined to 8-1-,, and the New to 81 87,. The Colonial lines are flat. Grand Trunk of Canada have receded ss. ; East Indian, 55.; and Great Western of Canada, ss. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have exhibited little animation, and prices are depressed. Ottoman Bank have receded 55., and Peninsular and Oriental Steam about 10s. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 941 31 4 3 per Cent.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—There was an accident at the Hertford station of the Welwyn line on Saturday after noon last. The 4 p.m. up-train (consisting of an engine with single driving wheel, three passenger carriages, bet ter filled than usual, it being Hertford fair-day, and six loaded trucks) was about to leave the station, which is situate in a hollow, with a steep incline either way. It is the custom impetus thus to back the train on startin g ; and the thus acquired helps the train up the next ascent. In this instance the driver found on starting that the load was too much for the engine, and the train after proceeding a short distance backed towards the station into some trucks, and the collision caused serious damage both to persons and property. 1111 Loss OF FIVE WHALING SHIPS IN THE ICE.—A telegraphic despatch from Peterhead yesterday announces the arrival at that port of the whaling ship Narwal Deu chars, from Greenland, which reports the total loss of five ships, two of them steamers, while employed in thefisheries in the Arctic Seas. They were the Empress of India, an iron auxiliary screw steamer, launched at Newcastle in the early party of the y ear ; th e V o l unteer, another screw steam ship, belonging to the Tyne ; the barques Alert of Peter head and the Milenca of Frazerburgh, and a third barque, name at present unknown. It is supposed that they were crushed in the ice. Although no mention was made of the crews, it is presumed that they were saved, as the Narwal Detlehars is stated to have 36 of the crew of the Empress of India on board. The Gertrude of Hull also sustained con siderable damage in the ice, and the N arwa l Deuchars, which h a d on board 3.0J0 seals, reports having had a nar row escape. Th e E mpress o f I n di a was a very fine vessel, 600 toile register, 100 horse power, and classed A, 1 for 12 years. SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Share, Railways. • 12. i Amber - r.. Nott!ng.

It 'will be remembered that this is an appeal from a de cree of the Master of the Rolls, cancelling and setting aside a bond for £12,564 10s., granted on 12th April, 1854, by the respondent Kay to the appellant Smith, on the ground of minority, want of valuable consideration, fraud, and misrepresentation. The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Master of the Rolls, and dismissed the appeal with costs. Lord Cranworth and Lord Kingsd own entirely con curred with the Lord Chancellor in being of opi nion that the fraud and misrepresentation had been completely proved, and that there was no obligation what • ever on the respondent, Mr. Kay, to pay the appellant Smith, Johnstone, or Adams, or any other one farthing more than actually went into his pocket, and nothing was due. Lord Wensleydale entertained some doubts as to whether the fraud was proved at the time of granting the bonds in question ; but upon all the other points in the cause he entirely concurred with his noble and learned friends who had just delivered their opinions. The decree of the Master of the Rolls was affirmed, and the appeal dimissed with costs. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before the Judge Ordinary Sir Cresswell Cresswell.) SYMES V. GREEN. The farther hearing of this part-heard cause was re sumed this morning. This was a testamentary cause, in which the question in dispute was, whether the late Cap tain Nott, of the 83d Regiment, was of testamentary capacity en Ist October, 1857, the date of the execution of his will. Dr. Addams called and examined the defendant and several witnesses in opposition to the will. The learned Judge said he would look through the papers in the cause, and if he altered his opinion he would in form him. Judgment reserved. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) :X RE LA3IPBELIe- -- A CAUTION TO OPPOSING CREDITORS-. A DAY TOO LATE. To-day Was appointed for a certificate meeting in the case of this bankrupt, a timber merchant, &c., in Long- Lane, City. Mr. Lawranco, for the assignees, did not oppose, but said that it would be a matter for the Court to decide as to whether the certificate should be granted. The creditors generally had no objection to a certificate being granted, but the quQstion was whether it should be of the second or third class. Mr. Norton, for an individual creditor, opposed. _ _ Mr. Lowrance objected to the opposition as notice had not been given in due time, being one day too late. He considered the rule as to notice ought to be rigidly observed in cases where individual creditors took objection. His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the third Blass. An application was then made for a return of the fees de posited on the application for the certificate to be returned to the bankrupt. The debts are stated at £321; liabilities, £1,381; assets about £2OO. The liabilities are on acceptances given with out consideration for Chas. Woolterton, ironmonger, also a bankrupt. SHERIFFS' COURT. A NOVEL STUTTERER. - LUCAS V. EROKTHORP. This was a summons to recover a sum of money for ad vertisements inserted in the Morning Star. Mr. Butler, who appeared for the plaintiff, said that de fendant had repeatedly promised t 3 pay. His Honour—What was the nature of the advertisements ? Witness—To cure stammering. His Honour—Well, he appears to stutter himself in pay ing his money. He must in seven days. THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION. - SINIPSON V. WELLS. This was an action to recover some money for clothes supplied in 1852. Defendant said the claim was barred by the statute of limitation. His Honour—You have not pleaded it, and I can tak• no notice of it. Defendant—l went through the Insolvent Court in 1856. His Honour—You have not pleaded that. I cannot entertain either defence, and you must pay at ss. per month. THE SAME V. FERNLEY. In this case the debt was as old as 1851, and defendant wished to plead the " Statute of Mitigation." (Roars of laughter.) His Honour—You mean the Statute of Limitation. You have not pleaded it, and must pay. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. S HOP LIP TIN G.—Two respectably-dressed women, who gave the names of Mary Jones and Ann Law, were placed before Mr. Hall, charged with stealing a quantity of silk. Mr. Chatfield, of the firm of Howitt and Co., linen drapers, said—Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, the prisoners entered the shop and asked to be shown some silk dress lengths. A large assortment was placed before them, and after much apparent difficulty a green silk dress was selected and paid for; but suspicion was aroused in conse quence of the firm having been plundered the day before of a roll of silk valued at £l4. The prisoners were watched, and Law was seen to conceal one of the pieces beneath her shawl. A police-constable was sent for, and on the prisoners reaching the shop-door they were given into custody and conveyed to the police-station. Police-constable Farndon, 330 A, said I took both pri soners into custody on a charge of stealing some silk. At the station-house I took two silk dress lengths from be neath the cloak of Law, and in a few minutes after I observed another lying close to the feet of Jones, who stood seme distance off Law. On being searched, two rings were found on Law, one of which was rather peculiar, being made of old red gold. The setting was composed of an oblong carbuncle surrounded with pearls, and around which was an enamelled blue and white border. Inside the ring was engraved the following :—" Richd. Remnant, Esq., ob. 24, Apr. 1813. AE. 60." Upon Jones tbr oo gold rings were found. Mr. Hall—What is the value of the property stolen ? Mr. Chatfield— The three pieces I value at isl,s 12s. 6d. Upon being asked what they had to say 'in answer to the charge, both prisoners commenced cr: ng . Law said she was guilty, and begged for mercy. Jones made no reply. The prisoners were fully c -°ll a r :Aitted for trial. MARLBruROUGH. STREET. ATTEMPTED ST:I ICIDE IN THE Pain CELL.—Mary Burn, a dissipat e d looking woman, was charged under tho following circumstances : Police constable, 91 C, said he heard a loud knocking at the door of a house in Hayes'-court, and on requesting her to desist, she said it was her own house, and swore she would be locked up. Inspector Holden, of the C division, said that while in the cell at the station the accused made an attempt to strangle herself by tying her bonnet strings so tightly that she was nearly black hi the face. He cut them and left her, but finding a few minutes after that she seemed determined to carry out her intention, having taken off her garters and commenced tying one of them tightly round her throat, he ordered her to be strapped down for her protection. The prisoner's landlady stepped forward and said she had been intoxicated ever since Saturday last. Mr. Bingham said it was a sort of insanity, and the best thing he could do with her was to let her have the benefit of the assistance of a medical man, who, no doubt, would do her great good. Ho should therefore commit her for seven days. A NICE CABMAN-FORTUNATE ESCAPE OP A FARE. —William Moir, cab-driver 13,856, was charged with being drunk at 1 a.m., in Bond-street, while driving, and causing damage to another cab driven by Robert Fenn, 9,494, whereby Fenn was seriously hurt about the loins. The cab driven by the defendant was found lying across the road with a fare in it at the time, who, however, fortunately escaped without injury. The case being clearly proved, the defendant denied that he was drunk. Sergeant Rogers, who took the charge, stated that he was very drunk, and that he had been charged with a similar offence before more than once. The license being produced, it was found to have been ;vi lee endorsed. The Magistrate considered him unfit to drive any longer, and fined him £3 or a month, and revoked his license, deeming him an unfit man to be allowed to act as a driver. DR.

THE MONEY MARKET.—The Indian correspon dent of the Times says—" Opium is to the Malwa what bullion is to the Bank of England." We have heard of money being a drug, but here a drug is literally money. However, we think we should prefer the " rest" of the Bank of England to a rest that was the feverish result of opium. No wonder that the money market of Bombay is in such a collapsed state. It must experience the greatest difficulty in rising with so much opium in its system.—Punch. A "DUCK OF A DOCTOR. "— Generally a Quack. —Punch. " THE DEANE-HARDING REVOLVER."—Since the first introduction of the revolver, many have been the im possible as well as practical suggestions -as to its internal improvement and general efficiency. One great objection to revolvers has been the complication of their parts, for an amateur especially has it been necessary t o consu lt direc tions which as often mislead as instruct. We have to-day inspected an improved patented pistol, the production of Messrs. Deane and Son, of King William-street, City. It is christened the Deane-Harding, and a more highly finished and perfect weapon we have never seen. One of its great qualifications is the absence of those parts of the action or lock called sears, and their springs and pins. In deed the aim of the patentees seems to have been thorough simplicity combined with strength. The functions of the discharge by the trigger as well as cocking by the thumb being performed by the cock and trigger only, it is next to impossible to get it out of gear. Another new feature is the easy disjointing the barrel from the stock for the pur pose of cleaning. A lever ramrod is added, which acts ver tically on the bullet. This pistol, in a word, contains the most useful features of revolvers, combined with great sim plicity pg =Arnett= and arrangement. SPORTING NOTES. THE METROPOLITAN AND THE CITY AND SUBURBAN The York Meeting only attained a negative success, and the defeat of both Shafto and Newcastle and the success of Nimrod were the chief incidents which mt. trked the pro ceedings. After all the bother which had be en made about Newcastle I expected better things of him, and really his two performances, one for the Great Northern and the othe , .. for the Flying Dutchman's Handicap, wer e most ineo . m . patible. Either he did not—but never mind, perhap s his inglorious exhibition for the long race was attributf3ble to his want of staying powers ; but according to his - runnin g yesterday he ought to have played a more promii tent part on Tuesday. At least this was the genera', opinion. Shafto seems to me to be somewhat soft ; this, at any rate, is the most charitable way to account for his performances. His defeat by the Birthday filly on Tuesday astonished the weak nerves of his through thick-rand-thin supporters. The principal movements in connection with the Des-by were the increased support given. to Musjid, and the up and-down tendency of Gamester. Sir Joseph's horse - was firm on both days, but after Gamester had been backed. on Tuesday for a good sum he declined three or four poi nts, and it is stated that the cognoscenti had seen him and had disapproved of him. The running of Nimrod—who had really nothing to beat—showed the force in which the Woodyates' stable is likely to be throughout the spring. With fair weather a most enjoyable and interesting day's racing may be anticipated at Epsom to-morrow, albeit the University Boat Race is likely to exercise a diminishing effect upon the attendance. Speculation on the two pro minent items in the programme has been remarkably slow, and really little trustworthy information can be gleaned relative to the probable and intended competitors. The City and Suburban—to be run before the Metropolitan —just demands attention, and of the two great handicap events it is likely to command the larger field. I shall not attempt to weary the reader's patience by entering into a critical examination of the chances ;of every animal likely to go to the post. Upwards of twenty runners will be num bered on the telegraph boards, and from them the lot which I deem most worthy of confidence comprises Little Gerard (or Clemanthe—both in the same stable), Blackthorn, Bea con, Pan (or Accurate), Indifference, Tom King, and Pro duction. The " antecedents " of these animals may be fully ascertained on a reference to "Ruff's Guide," and I fancy they will warrant my election in favour of BEACON AND PAN (or ACCURATE). I do not think we shall see a Virago double event for the two handicaps, or the winner of the City and Suburban as close as Adamas was for the long race. Yet the victor for the first event world not be held in light esteem...for the second. Notwithstanding his defeat at Northampton and at York, Blue Jacket still receives support. He is either very slow or an arrant cur, and I should not be justified in trusting him to .morrow, although it is stated that his trial with Tournament is good enough to sin twenty Metropo litans. It was evidently not good enough to win one Northamptonshire Stakes or one Great Northern. Life boat is somewhat unsteady in the market, and I fancy his weight will stop him. It is yet to be proved satis factorily whether " the Boat " can stay two miles and a quarter. For Tunstall Maid I am induced to entertain a strong partiality. She has run at all dis tances with success, and if she be only fit and wanted I shall be disinclined to oppose her for this race. Meadow dale, who was once in much force, is now so seldo2t men tioned that it would be useless entertaining a seribus opinion of his chance. Of all the Epsom horses, 'White Hart is most to my fancy. He is a fine, good-looking horse, and his Brighton performance must not be forgotten. The success of Gladiolus for the Great Northern gave the Gree: 4 a lift in the betting, and deservedly so. The Greek, ' it is said, can stay as long as the American horse tha , „ t oo k a week to gallop off a cabbage leaf, but I cannot believe Mr. Angell's colt to be as slow as that. Helia ;.6 fancied on account of her running at Croxton. T' 4o only other animal amongst the three-year-olds fo: which I enter tain a partiality is Yellow Rose, who seems to be a " sticker." She has not '! performed" very disgracefully this season, and I shall be much disappointed if she be not very forward to-morrow. To occupy the foremost places, therefore, I shall select WHITE HART, THE GREEK, AND YELLOW ROSE, reserving Tunstall Maid for a " cockboat." It must be understood, however, that my preference for the animals mentioned is in accordance with the order in which I h ave set down their names. The Two-Yrs-Old Stakes will, doubtless, lie between Madame Eglantine and Thormanby, and of the two my choice would rest upon the colt. For the Railway Plate Peter Flat and Joskin are as much entitled to notice as anything, and for the Inkerman Plato I shall select Madame M' et. A FRESU MAN. AnPAVALS AT EPSOM.

THE MURDE R AT WESTBROMWICIL—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Royal Exchange, in Westbrom wich, on the body of John Corbett, the miner, who, it will be remembered, after murdering his wife in that town on the night of the 25th of last month, cut his own throat in a most frightful manner, using for the purpose the knife with which he had just before taken his wife's life. Against Cor bett the coroner's jury who investigated the cause of his wife's death, returned a verdict of wilful murder.

The author ob serves that his projection offers several peculiar advantages for geographical purposes when the whole, or at least the whole accessible part of the globe has to be mapped down on one sheet ; Ist, it gets rid of the extravagant distension in high lati tudes, at least on one side of the Equator, which the Mercator projection necessitates; 2d, like that and the stereographic projection, it exhibits all small portions of the sphere in their true forms, without distortion of figure; 3d, it exhibits large portions (as whole continents) under very much less variation of scale where great amplitudes are con cerned than th e s t ereographic, and for the whole of one hemisph ere t h an the Mercator, while for the other, as far as the ,e ; u degreethesso4rfttahhc,ei:t&teakes in latitude,. ie it is in . 2. Brief s of f no ' la o w l e a y accessibleoffen s one Remarkse upon the Isth mus of Suez, with special Refe rence to the proposed Canal, & c ., by Comm an d er Bed form Pim, R.N., F.R . G .S. The author commenced by laying down the l a ti tude and longitude a the Isthmus, stating the di s t ance from Suez on the. Red Sea to Pelusiuin on th e Mediterranean to, be 74 miles. The coast line in the l a tt er presents a bar ren appearance, consisting o f sandy 'unlocks and. swamps, with no harbour for ships of any draught, saving Alexandria. Tile water in the vicinity is shallow, the bottom shelving gradually, depth of 25 f eet exten d s fe especially t owar d s t h e Bay of Pelusium, where th e three mile s f rom the a.F.io Jr astance of more th an. di re. The current has an easterly set, its veloc;/Ey being much influenced by the wind. " The t . ;:d es , have an inconsiderable rise and fall, wind, the and are more or less dep e ndent on the nia"..imum height recorded being but two feet eight ir, c h es , of the i Ray The prevailin g w i n d s , ex p osure of Pelusium, the l owness o f th e coas t, th and .e absence of landmarks increase the dangers of D %.tvic , ation. The Red. Sea Coast is aria and sandy ,ut not flat, though in the vicinity of Suez the land is low ; the roadstead being encumbered with shoals and sandbanks, the harbour is accessible only to small native coasters. The cwerents in the Red Sea attain a velocity of from 15 to 20 miles in the 24 hours, and the tides have a greater rise and fall than in the Mediterranean. The prevailing winds from March to November are northerly, and the remaining three months southerly. The rocks, shoals, and coral banks render navigation unsafe, and especially so for sailing vessels, the loss of which was estimated to average one in ten per annum. The author here noticed the physical features, referring to the Nile, and the quantity of alluvium carried by it into the Mediter ranean, which meeting with an easterly current, carrying it towards the Bay of Pelusium, would have the effect of choking up any harbour or channel which came in its way, and then pro ceeded to describe the geological formation and an cient system of canalisation, and remarked that the natural causes, geographical features, and antece dents of the country are antagonistic to the realisa tion of the canal project. The author then passed in review the attempts thathad been made to carry out this undertaking, commencing with Napoleon 1., and concluding with M. Ferdinand de Lesseps, and considers all of these plans to have been based on the results of the levelling of the French in 1799 who gave a much higher level to the Mediterranean than to the Red Sea, which has since been proved to be inaccurate, In dealing with this part of the subject the author noticed the personal investiga tions of the eminent French and Austrian engineers in conjunction with Mr. Stephenson, in 1846, and the labours of the International Commission, and then proceeded to give additional reasons for consi dering the cutting of a canal impracticable, viz., engineering and natural objects, labour, absence of harbours, financial outlay, &c., estimating the latter at over 14 millions sterling. The author concluded with a proposal for shortening the route to India by continuing the railway along the banks of the Nile from Cairo to Assouan and thence across the coun try to Berenice, thus effecting, according to his estimation, a saving of two days as regards time, and avoiding many delays, inconveniences, and dif ficulties. The paper gave rise to a warm discussion, in which Gen. Monteith, Messrs. G. Rennie, Sidney, Lange, and R. Stephenson, M.P., took part, and the meeting was adjourned to the 9th May.
