MONEY MARKET. CITY NE N% S-YES I ERDAY. The letters to applicants for the Portugu,•se loan to whom no allotment can be made are expected to be sent out this evening., 'Pie allotment letters are to be posted on Saturday evening. The new Peruvian loan is expected to be intro duced to-morrow or on Friday. It will c of Four and a Halt per Cent. Bones for £5 500,000 at 93, with dividend from the Ist inst , and payable in instalments extending to the 24th of Decemb er next, on which 4i per cent. discount will be allowed. This loan is intended to absorb all the Peruvian stocks at present existing in the London market, amounting to about £2,700,000, which are to be re ceived in part payment at various rates, according to their denomination. The who!e of the guano hitherto hypothecated will thus be set free, and is to be appropriated to the new loan, together with the proceeds cf the Be,gian contract, the estimated produce being about /500,000 per annum beyond the sums required for interest and sinking fund. The sinking fund is to be accumulative, and at the rat., of 8 per cent. per annum, commencing on the Ist of January, and is therefore calculated to redeem the whole debt in 10 years. The Liverpool cotton market was very strong to-day, and prices firm. Sales about 10,000 bales. At Paris, this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's tel, gram, the Three per C .nt. Rentes opened at 68f. 67c., being 1.16 to k per cent. better than yes terday. I terdoy. United States Five per Cents., which only a short time back were at 80, have fallen to 63 to 65, being the lowest point ever totter ed. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of £8,287. • . It is expected that the prospectus of the new Venezuelan Loan will appear on Friday morning, if not to-morrow atteTnoon. The amount is £ 1 , 0 00,000, in a Six per Cent. Stock, at the price of 63, and the operation is Ira ed so as to be very advantageous to the holders of existing bonds, as well as attractive to those who may feel inclined to participate in the proposed addition to the debt of the Republic. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CI rY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount market to day again appears a little firmer, owing to a slight increase in the demand resulting from the usual payments at the esd of the month. The change hithero, however, has been trifling, and has scarcely attracted notice in com mercial circles, because accommodation •is still oh ttinable 1 per cent. under the minimum of the Bank of England, and the mercantile classes have not an extensive supply of bills to negotiate. It is expected that the new Venezuelan Loan will be brcught forward to-day, and that the Peru vian Will follow to-morrow. The opinion seems to prevail that the investing public will subscribe largely to both undertakings, as the terms have been arranged in an attractive form. It has been notified that the sinking fund of the Chilian 4Q ~er Cent. Loan of 1858 has been increased froth at which it was originally fixed, to 1 per cent, and the Bands have slightly improved in consequence. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round fi;ures b.s under : 1862. 1861.

He then petitioned the Court, but as it was alleged that he bad disposed of all his property, although for the object of settling with his credi tors, his Honour,l Mr. Commissioner Evans, said that, as the bankrupt had not brought any assets to administer, he felt bound to dismiss the petition, but at the same time expressed his regret at feeling called upon to do so. The bankrupt was subsequently arrested, but was released from cu- tody. 11 Tr. opposed and examined the bankrupt at length, when it appeared that there had been quite an "alarming sacrifice" on the sale of the furniture; and as the creditors would not take the composition, he, out of £33, paid his then attorney £25 to carry bim through the court, and an. other legal gentleman had asked him £3O. His Honour said he would adjourn the case for Mr, Commhsioner Evans's consideration, and grant protection. DIVORCE AND BANKRIIIPTCY.-IN RE BAMFORD.

ELECTRIC TELEGRA' II COMPANIES. in reply to Lord A. CRURCHILL, M.. M.

Next session it would be brought before Parlia ment. REPORTS OF BRITISH CONSULS. Mr. FREELAND asked the Government when these re ports would be laid be ore Parliament. Mr. COGAN said that these reports were at present in type, and he hoped they would be Toady for presentation to the house before the end of the session, as the G verument were making every endeavour to r ffrct that object. LORD PALMERSTON'S ADMINIS ['RATION. Mr. COBDEN gave notice that on the motion for the adjournment of the house at its rising to-morrow he would draw attention to the administration of the noble lord the member for Tiverton. UNION RELIEF AID BILL. The house went into committee of progress on this bill. Mr. VILLIERS said that in conformity t.ith the wish of the house, as expressed, he had prepared a clause to enable poor-law guardians to raise money to meet any excess of expenditure with the consent of t:.e poor-law board, which were to b 3 charged to the corninon fund. After a few words from Sir H. WILLOUGHIIN, Mr. PULLER said he would vote tor the clause, but at the same time he did not consider it went far enough. Colonel PATTEN thought that. the lira t of the amount which the guardians were entitl , d to borrow should be re duced from ös. t. 4a. in the pound. Sir H NV ILLOUG HBY contended that the clause was so trained as to be entirely inoperative. In r ept) , to Mr. BARBOW, Mr. VILLIERS deteuded the clause, which he asserted was sui ed to the existing state of circumstances, and that five shillings should m be the liit. He had received tutor illation that morning to the effect that at Oldham it the mills were stopped two-thirds of the ratepayers would cease to pay tares' Bow( vtr, he aid not ()Eject th,t the limit of the am ount fur which powers of borrowing wets conferred should be !educed to t. ur shillings. Mr. GIL IN defended the clause. Mr. Di , RAELI said that hen. members were called on to consent to the proposition before them without having had time to consider it, and he trusted the noble lord at the head of the Govern ment would postpone the further stage of the bill until Monday. Some further discussion ensued, in the course of which it was contended that the borrowing powers should be still further reduced to 3s. in the pound. Mr. AYRI'ON said in the.try he was in favour of ex tending the area of rating, but at the same time he objected to any sudden alteration in the lap. Sir G. GREY drew the attention of the house to the fact that the question before the house was whether the c ause should be read a second time, which he thcught might be agreed to, and then they could be discuss it it it were thought desirable to do se in committee. Mr. COBDEN thought that the house was not in a position to read the bill a second time. He considered that the parties interested in borrowing should be allowed to deal with their own property in relieving the poor in their iminsdi -tedistricts. He believed these bodies would attend to their own interests until Parliament met, and he ob jected to any limit btittg imp sed on the amount to be raised by unions for the rsliet of the poor.. He drew the attention of the house to the fact that the Government had considerably altered the original bill which they had in tro .uced. Sir G LEWIS contended that when the alternative was was given to gu.rdians to raise money on their own pro -1 perry or to borrow from their neighbour s, they would pre- I ter the latter.

ANNUAL MEETING THIS DAY. The annual meeting of the Netherland's Land Enclo sure Company took place to-day—Mr. G. P. Bidde in the chair. The report of which the following are its princip.el features, was ..manimmisly adopted. The agreement wi'h the Dutch Government had received the sanctio of that Legislature. U..der that agreement the caution money, less the amount due to Mr. Mynliefl, the utch co:Praetor for work ese , ured in the year 1853, has been returned to the company. Having obtained this balance (about £12,000), the board in the month f April last entered into a contract with Messrs. Pero and Betts to re•inclose about 800 acres of land, forming part of the Krabbendyke Polder, lost in 1858, and the board are happy to announce to this meet ing the completion of that enclosure, a portion of which is now being cultivated for next year's crop. The area of the company's land enclosed is now somewhat over 1,900 acres. Upon the report of the company's engineer that the enclosure hHd been ffected ' the board made a call of £" 10s. upon such o f the 7 pe cent. debentures of the company upon which the first ins a meat of £2 108. h d been paid, and they pai.sed a resolution 'o consolidate those debentures, on the call being paid. The holders of those debe tures will therefore receive one £lO debenture for two with £5 paid. This arrangement was made to meet the views of many debenture holders who de ired to have their debentures paid in lull, as being hen more readily negotiable, itncl, as no certain periods cou d be fixed for future calla, the board carried out their wish s iu the manner indicated. The outstanding debe totes, when the above call is fully paid, will represent £76,550, an amount qual to £4O per acre on the lat d enclosed. The e m bankment of the Eastern Scheldt by the Govern ment in connection with the railway will very materially assist the company in its future enclosures. The directors are now endeav“uring to let on lease the whole of the en • closed land in one letting, as experience proves no adequate return is obtained by the company on their farming opera tions. The directors think it expedient to sell the endiked land as opportunity may offer, and will propose a resolution to enable them to do so. SHIPPING - THIS DAY.

Deceased was tipsy, and he and his wife vio lently quarrelled, which re sulted in the former striking the latter wi h a p oker. Police -inspector Webb stated that he was statie ned at Hampstead.

It appeared from the evidence that he had been a sergesut in the BelL4ian service, and bad embezzled funds belonging to his company amount ieg to about 300 f. Finding himself unable to con ceal this defalcation, he determined to desert, and having been entrusted by an officer with four bank notes of 100 f. each to get change, be absconded with thum, and the woman Vancolhen, with whom he had become acquainted in a house of ill-tame, accompanied him in his flight. Accordieg to the prisoner's statement, which was supported to a cer tain extent by a letter written by the woman Van tche othtewno fugitivestoa person had of a her gr eed toproceed to Paris, acquaintance at Brusse t ls s: and there, after spen di ng all their money, to com rnManu.cide tog e th er. 1 h i s project they determine d . ctaerhr,y and oweeffnetc to o o a n I evening!ohe o:ly place I,h en o e a t the th e 1 0 fortt h o o f t t o Aubervilliers for that the perpo o se t;laws prisonerheardthe ball from which h there discharg eda eriteied at pistol ar w the l e ft eye and lodged in h iowould the brain. The prisoner, then, recording t o his i o ecc mat, walked on a little farther, an d attemptedvr three times to shoot himself, but the pistol not go off. He then returned to the woman, and at the same moment some gendarmes from Auber villiers, who had been informed that a woman was lying insensible in the road, came up, and to them he pretended that he and the woman had been attacked by two robbers, who had taken 300 f. from them, and fired a pistol at his companion. The woman was sent to the hospital Lariboisiere, where she died a fortnight afterwards. On going to the spot the next morning the gendarmes found a double-barrelled pistol, oee 'carrel of which had burst and the other was still loaded, and a close examination of the ground led them to the belief that the story of the robbery was false, as only the footsteps of two persons could be found near the spot. The prisoner was consequently then interro gated, and be then confessed that he and his mistress had agreed to die together, and that he had dis charged the pistol at her, and afterwards tried to kill himself, but in vain, as the pistol missed fire three times. The woman when she first recovered her senses at the hospital, told the same story about the robbers, but three days later she gave a very different account, saying that the prisoner fired at her twice and then attempted to strangle her. She said nothing of any agreement to commit suicide together, but that such a project had been enter tained was proved by her own letter written a day or two Uefore the crime. The counsel for the de fence argued that suicide was not a crime in the eye of the law, and that it wasadoubiful point whether a man who assisted another in committing suicide was guilty of murder. Merlin held that he was not, and a judgment was given in that sense in October, 1834 ; hut afterwards, in 1839, M. Dupin, then Procureur Gullet-al, brought this question be tore the Curt of (;as-ation, wnich decided that the above judgment was wrong in law, and siace then Merlin's theory had been generally abandoned, though many eminent juris consults still uphel I it. As to the second contession of the woman Van cothen, the defendant's counsel maintained that it was dictated by a spirit of vengeance. After hearing the reply of the Advocate-General the jury retired, and in less than half an hour returned into court with a verdict of guilty of murder, but with out premeditation, and they also admitted extenu ating circumstances. The court accordingly con demned the prisoner to 10 years' hard labour. ATTIMPTED MURDER BY A CLERGY MAN AT EXETER. On Tuesday the inhabitants of the city of Exe ter, especially of the lower part of the city, were thrown into the wildest state of alarm, in conse quence of the report that was citculated to the effect that the Rev. George Henry Parminter had. committed a most diabolical crime. It is with satisfaction that we are enabled to correct this re port. We are still, however, called upon to narrate a very sad story, though there has happily been an absence of criminality. For some time past the rev. gentleman, who is the rector of the united parishes of St. John and St. George, has been in a most melancholy state of mind, owing to pecuniary d:fficulties, and of late he has exhibited some ay tnpoonis of insanity. Early on Tuesday morning, whilst suffering from a severe attack of brain fever, the rev. gentleman, in the absence ()f . Mrs. Parmintei, got out of bed, pos sesssed himself of a pocket knife, and then walked to the nursery, where several of his children were asleep, under the charge of the nursemaid. It would seem that he very quietly walked to the bedside of his only daughter, a little girl of about four or five years of age, to whom he is devotedly attached, and attempted to cut her throat, but only succeeded in severing the skin of the neck sufficient to draw blood. Mr. Parminter on his return to his own room was met by his wife, to whom he said, "Poor little Mary, I have done it." His wife immediately rushed to the assistance of his child, who did not seem the least frightened, and succeeded in atop ping the flowing of the blood before the medical gentleman for whom she had sent had arrived. l'ne fever was raging so high at the time that the poor unfortunate gentleman seized a poker, but was preven , ed by his suns from d Ang any mischief, acd was ultimately induced to retire to his bed, where he is now contineti, in the most prostrate state of body as well as of wind. Tne little girl, we un derstand, is not much hurt. Mr Parminter has a large family, who are now plunged into the deepest sorrow. Mr. Parminter is stowly progressing. Re was to have met the committee appointed to ta k e t h e necessary steps for repairing the parish c hurch this (Wednesday) evening. He has always. b ee n a west fait hful and lovin g p astor, and his kindness has been universally shown to his poo re r parishioners.
