MONEY MARKET. CI'T'Y NEWS YESTERDAY. The Challenger has arrived from China with 74 9,6451b5, of tea and 871 bales of silk, and the Moneta with 702,6281b5. of tea, and 154 bales of silk. Mr. James M'Cormick was to-day appointed agent for Lloyd's at Areceivo, Porto Rico. The rates for loans on the more speculative kinds of foreign stocks this afternoon varied from 3 to 6 per cent. per annum, according to the nature of the security. There were no operations in gold at the Bank. The £451,500 Australian by the Roxburgh Castle and Moravian reached London to-day, and will at once be sent abroad in payment for silver. The Aloe, from Melbourne, has arrived with £Bl,OOO in gold. The Bombay exchange just telegraphed shows a tendency against this country. The remittances of silver to that port may therefore be expected to con tinue on a very large scale. The latest New York telegrams quote the ex change on London at 1431, showing little alteration, and the premium on gold of 30 per cent., being slightly lower than by the previous la rrival. CITY NEWS---THIS DA/. CITY, TWELTE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues quiet, and the rates remain without alteration.

The sister of the petitioner said—On the 29th of April, 1859, I went, in company with the petitioner, to No. 5, Townley. street, Ramsgate, in consequence of Mr. Smith deserting his wife. Mr. Pritchard, the superintendent of the police, was with us. We went up to a bedroom in the house and knocked at the door, when I heard Smith say, "Who's there." The landlord told him the superintendent of police wished to see him. After some further conversa- tion the door was opened, when we all went in and found Smith in his shirt, and a woman named Weller was in bed. I told him to give his wife some money to get back to Oxford with. as he knew very well he had left her v ith but a few shillings. Mrs. Smith took up Smith's trowsers, and took a roll of bank notes from one of the pockets, and as she was handing them over to the supe rintendent of police, Smith said he should not have them. Having seen the state Smith was living in, we left the place. Thomas Neal, of the Ramsgate police force, residing at 5, Townley street, said—l remember a lady and gentleman coming to live at my house in 1859. They passed as man and wife. On the 15th of May Mrs. Smith, her sister, and Mr. Pritchard came. We went upstairs. I knocked at the bedroom door, when Smith asked what was wanted. I told them the superintendent of police. Smith asked whether it would not do in the morning, but we said " No," and he then opened the door. dis 103 104 c 8 99 94 96 52 54 3 5 3 5 83 65 105 106 103 104 Celester Elizabeth Smith, the petitioner, said—l am matron of the Hedington Union.

I saw him at Ramsgate, and since that I have received two notes from him 14 or 15 months after, both of which I have destroyed. I have also seen him twice, once at Mr. William's, St. Giles, Oxford, and after that at the workhouse, when he came on business respecting his accounts with the guardians. A new master was appointed 13 weeks after my husband left. I don't know where he has been living since April, 1859. Decree nisi granted with costs. COTTERILL V. COTTERILL This was a petition presented by the wife for dissolution on the ground of adultery and cruelty. The respondent denied the allegations, and pled that the wile deserted him. Mr. Charles Edward Butler proved the marriage, which took place in Dec., 1853. Mary Ann Cotterill, the petitioner, said—l was living in Wells-street, Birmingham, in 1859. My husband treated me very unkindly. He was very dissipated, and he used often to strike me. On one occasion he threw a small table at me, but his ill-usage was so frequent that I cannot recollect any particular instance. I never used to speak to him when he returned home at night. When we were living in Hampton-street, after this, he attempted to take the wedding-ring off my finger, giving no reason for sa doing. I resisted, of course, and he then struck me on the head while I was in bed. Elizabeth Jones, the servant, came into the room, and he then became more quiet, We used to have frequent struggles for the possession of the wedding-ring, but he never succeeded in getting it. He used to pull my hair down in a most violent manner, and he used to throw the pillows at me. The Judge Ordinary—But that d d not hurt you? Witness—He used to strike me as well. One night he became so violent that I had to leave the bedroom. In February, 1860, he ordered me to go to sleep in the attic, but I refused to do so. In April of the same year, when Mrs. Ryder was in the house, he quarrelled with me about some ducks which were in a basket. I asked him not to put thew on the table, but he took hold of my hair, and taking up a pair of scissors was about to cut my hair off, when Mrs. Ryder took the scissors from him. This was on the 13th April, and I left him on the 16th, and then went to live with my mother. She was stopping with us some time be fore this. My husband on one occasion said he would kill her, and took up the poker to do so. I attempted to prevent him getting into her apartment, when he pulled me round the room by my hair. I saw my husband early in the morn ing of the day I left him. I did not speak to him. Cross-examined—Between the 13th and 16th of April we slept together, but by husband never took his meals at home. My mother came to live in our house immediately after our marriage. She continued to do so until six weeks before the separation. She used, at times, to be very un friendly with my husband. Elizabeth Johns said the conduct of Mr. Cotterill towards his wife was violent and brutish. She frequently had to go to her assistance, when she generally found Mr. Cotterill holding her by the hair and striking her. Mrs. Ryder corroborated the evidence of the petitioner with respect to the attempt of the respondent to cut Mrs. Cotterill's hair. Francis Arthur said he had seen the respondent take women to certain houses in Chapel-street, Birmingham, which he had pointed out to a person named Alexander. Stamford Alexander, superintendent of police at Bir mingham, said the houses referred to by the last witness were common brothels. The one in Chapel-street was pro fessedly a coffee-shop, but it v. as a place of resort for pro stitutes and thieves of the lowest description.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CURIOUS APPLICATION.—A respectable-looking female, named Anne Larrard, applied to Mr. Knox for his advice under the following circumstances : The applicant said she had been burnt out of her house, No. 50, Marshall-street, at a quarter past four that morn ing (the whole of the inmates being rescued with the aid of the fire-escapes and the police), and as she was not insured, she wished to know, having been informed to the contrary, whether, as she was not insured, she could go into the place and remove what things had not been destroyed ? Mr. Knox informed the applicant that she could cer tainly take the things. If they had been destroyed, not being insured, she could not obtain compensation, and therefore she was entitled to them. The applicant thanked the magistrate for his advice.

ROBBERY ON TOWER-HILL —John Long, a well known thief, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a silver watch from a sailor named Charles Ingram, on Tower-hill. Yesterday afternoon, the prosecutor and a shipmate named Wm. Good were passing over Tower-hill, and saw a large number of persons assembled around a man, who was exhibiting a monkey. The sailors crossed the road to witness the antics of the monkey, and were very shortly surrounded by the thieves who congregate on the hill. An attempt was made to steal Good's watch. He kept his hand upon it and preserved it, and at the same time called to Ingram, " Look out, Charley, for your watch." The prisoner at that moment passed behind Good, and drew Ingram's watch out of his pocket, broke the swivel and detached it from the chain. The fellow ran away with the watch and was instantly pursued by the two sailors and others. Being closely pressed he threw the watch under a cart. A young man named Henry Williams picked up the watch. It was full of mud, and while Williams was looking about for the owner he was collared by a bystander, who believed he was acting in eon cert with the thief. His innocence, however, was quite clear. The prisoner ran some distance with many persons behind him vociferously bawling. " Stop thief." He was caught by a police-constable named John Panter 196 H. The prisoner said he was quite innocent of the robbery. ' , Tenter—He has given a false address. The prisoner—Why, you see I don't want them common newspapers to publish where I live, because if they do others may come down upon me. Mr. Woolrych—lf you don't give your right name and address I shall consider that very suspicious. The prisoner—You see, my father's name was Nutt, and my mother's name is Long, but I did not tell the policeman that, because 1 dont want them common newspapers to say anything about that. A policeman said the prisoner had been in custody at that court before. The prisoner—Only on suspicion. Mr. Woolrych There is no doubt you stole the sailor's watch, and I shall remand you for inquiries until Saturday next. THE CONDEMNED MURDERERS. An answer has been received from the Secretary of State for the Home D apartment to the memorial forwarded by the Messrs. Lewis, of Ely-place, on behalf of the con demned convict Gardener. The:letter is to the effect that no sufficient grounds have been shown to justify the Home Secretary interfering with the due execution of the law. With respect to Cooper, all attempts to obtain a remis sion of the sentence of death have, up to the present time, proved of no avail. MARKETS -THIS DAY.

Although the supply of beasts on sale in to-day's market was reasonably extensive, the demand for prime beasts was somewhat active, and in some few instances the quotations had an upward tendency, a few Scots having realised 5s per 81b. Inferior beasts were inactive at Monday's cur rency. With sheep we were rather scantily supplied. never theless the mutton trade was in a sluggish state on former terms. Downs sold at 5s 6d to 5s 8d per 81b. Calves—the supply of which was good —were a slow sale, but not cheaper. The best veal was worth 5s per 81b.

Captain Matthias replied in the negative, and said no one was capable of knowing, The witness existed between God and himself. He stood entirely on his own responsibility. His responsibility ran thus—to suffer whatever the law and whatever man could place upon him. He stood as a being to suffer, and he would suffer whatever the law or anything could force on him. He would stand and suffer for it what ever it might be, at any moment or at any time. The court,was cleared for the deliberation of the commit tee, and after a short interval, upon its being re-opened, The Chairman said—We have come to our decision in this painful case, and Mr. Britten will now read it. Mr. Brittan read the following :—"That this board do re- Fort to the Board of Trade as follows :—" That Capt. Henry Mathias, late master of the barque Usk, of Newport, on a voyage of that vessel from Newport to Caldera, Which voyage commenced on or about the Ist day of June last, did, when the said vessel had arrived off or near Cape Horn, whilst under a mental delusion, and without any proper or sufficient cause or reason, instead of proceeding on the said voyage, put the said vessel back and return with her to Newport aforesaid; and that this board considers Cap tain Mathias to be still labouring under such delusion, and incompetent to take charge or act as master of any ship or vessel, and this board doth, therefore, cancel the certificate of the said Captain Mathias." Captain Mathias promised to give up his certificate forth with. The counsel for the respondent, in addressing the Court said one circumstance was of great importance to the pre sent case, via,, he had never made any mark on the peti tioner during his alleged ill-usage. The Judge Ordinary said he thought that was assuming too much. A person might be struck violently on the head without the effects of the blow being visible. There was no rule of court that a man might beat his wife on the head. provided he did not raise a bump. '., ' The learned counsel then went on to contend that the three nights' cohabitation after the last act of ill usage con doned the charges brought against his client. The Judge Ordinary said he was quite satisfied that a case of very gross cruelty had been proved against the re spondent. He did nut think there was the slightest act of condonation on the part of the petitioner. He was also of opinion that the charge of adultery had also been made out. The issuing of the decree was suspended fur a fortnight to settle some questions relative to property. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) LIABILITIES OF DIRECTORS FOR PUBLIC COMPANIES.- IMPORTANT DE CISION.-MAORINTOSH V. REES (FAMILY LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.) This was an action to recover for 3,000 policies, plaintiff being a printer. _ Plaintiff's clerk put in an order, headed "Family Life Assurance So c i e t y ," an d signed by the c h a i r man and do fendant, wh o w as th en one of the comm i t t ee . I Mr. Buchanan urged for defendant that his client could not be held liable, but that plaintiff must sue the secretary or registered officer of the company. His Honour remarked that defendant had signed the order as a director of the Family Life Assurance Company, but defendant handed up a book of rules, from which it appeared that the society was entitled "'The Family Sick Fund Friendly Society," and in a second book there was a third nam e . It appears to me that Mr. Mackintosh gave credit to the directors of the Family Life Assurance Society. Mr. Buchanan —Perhap s plaintiff will tell us how the policies were headed ? Plaintiff's clerk-:The Family Sick Fund Friendly Society. Defendant—lt is not a corporation, nor is it a joint stock affair. I have ceased to be a director, and if plaintiff sues the registered officer he will be paid, as there is plenty of money. Mr. Tidd Pratt says lam not liable. His Honour —The plaintiff sues you as the director of the Family Life Assurance Company, and in that form I am of opinion that he is entitled to recover; but the defen dant has his remedy against the society. Verdict for the plaintiff, and costs. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO ONE OF THE BAILIFFS. A very serious accident occurred last evening to Mr. Overall, one of the bailiffs of this court, who, while pursu ing his avocations, slipped from the pavement, and being unable to rise, was taken to St. 'Bartholomews Hospital, where be now lies. Mr. Kerr proceeded there this morning to swear the sufferer as to the service of certain processes, and, upon inquiry, it was found that one of the small leg bones was broken. SHIPPING---THIS DAY.

On Tuesday t' ere was a sitting of the Bristol Local Marine Board, at their offices in Prince's-street, to investi gate a singular charge against a merchant captain, a few particulars of which we have already placed before our readers. The members of the committee present were Mr. R. P. King, in the chair, Mr. Whitwill, Mr. Lucas, and Mr. R. Rowe. Mr. H. Britten acted as legal assistant. The charge was preferred by Messrs. T. Beynon and Co., of Newport, against Captain Henry Mathias, and was to the effect that he, being the master of the barque Usk, of New port, on an intended voyage from Newport to Caldera, in the Brazils, was, when the vessel had arrived off Cape Horn, guilty of a gross act of misconduct, in having, without proper or sufficient cause or reason, neglected or omitted further to proceed on the said voyage, and navigated the vessel back to Newport. _ _ Captain Mathias promised to deliver up his certificate to abide the result of the inquiry, which was then proceeded with. He had no legal assistance, and said he wanted none, but would conduct his own case. When asked, after hearing the evidence against him, if he desired time to pre pare his defence, he replied in the negative, and expressed his desire to enter upon it at once. He conducted his defence and delivered his address in a cool and intelligent manner. The case having been proved, the captain proceeded to address the committee on his own behalf. He spoke of the heavy weather that prevailed, and of the confidence and comfort he felt, nevertheless, up to a certain time. He then went on to say that he had been a professor of religion for 17 years, and made it a practice about ten in the morning to read a chapter and then to enter his service to his Creator. After that had passed one day he felt a pressure on his mind that he had not ever before f* and he asked himself what this could mean, for he had generally felt light and comfortable under all circumstances in life—in fact there had only been one or two peculiar circumstances in his life, though he had been at sea for 32 years. He repeated that he began to inquire what was the meaning of this pressure, and he thought he would go and make a point of prayer of it, and be did so, when ho found that a small still voice s p oke within to return to Newport with the ship, b ut he strove within him most firmly against it. The more he strove, however, the worse it resisted him, and he found the, power to be so strong that it was irresistible. He remained in that state. He did not make known the state of his mind to a soul in the ship. No one in that ship knew his mind or feelings or anything concerning him, but if the truth were properly spoken by each individual on board that ship that power must be known by every person. He remained until the afternoon and began to consider " What did it mean ?" for the same still voice spoke audibly and distinctly within him, "Excepting I would give up my purpose that He would break me without remedy." Visions he saw none ; he saw no bodily shape. He saw nothing but his own feelings, the same as any other Christian man would see. As he had told Captain Beynon, so he (Captain Mathias) would now tell the board, that with regard to returning home he said within himself " Well, 1 should like to have a sign to know for certain that I may not be deceived in my own heart, and deceive my own self in the presence of my Creator," and that voice .poke to him again, and told him " That the glass should rise immediately if I would do, and be obedient to the command given to me." He (Captain Mathias) implored the Divine compassion to allow him to remain till the Sun. day morning daylight, as the storm was terrifio, and he held that the vessel would suffer less lying in a tropical sea than running before such a storm—it was terrific. He could not sleep or rest, and no doubt the mate and the men in the cabin must have known that there was something in the expression of his countenance that was never seen there before. As it required so much to change that will of his (the captain's), "which was so deter:nined to accomplish that voyage, that he had on two occasions commenced, he would leave them t o judge what it must be to change the wills and 'minds o f men. Eight days he suffered, and on the day he felt more easy. He turned the ship at his Ztwn private w ill. No other person had any conneotin or anything to do with the ship, and he had not m P fkeknown his desire or anything of the kind. He 1 1 0 .' told the niae he might take the respon sibility e f ..qte ship, but he had never applied or aimed to tea the ship from him ; neither the mate nor the men, nor anyone in the ship, aftor he gave the order to square the yards and alter the vessel's course, disobeyed his orders. Everything had been carried out according to the orders he had given ; there was a very favourable wind, and he de tected the hand of Providence in the voyage home. He had foretold the time when his ship would be in dock, though he did not know that there would he a pilot, and the weather was bad. Yet everything came as he had foretold. He be lieved the men and officers saw everything transacted in a manner they could not account for, but he could see it and under. tood it. Ho had given his evidence from first to hest as he had given it to Mr. Beynon. He (Captain Mathias) was desirous of impressing on the gentlemen not to think he had seen any form in a bodily shape, or any vision, or anything of the kind. Let that be banished. He had known nothing but a Christian experimental feeling. That still small voice had spoken to him audibly, Ile had had the hand of God pressing him sorely previous to the voice speaking to him. .EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMP7 Al ABDUCTION. On Saturday morning the village of Kinlough, cou my Limerick, was thrown into a state of great excitement, in consequence of a number of young men (ten in all) being escorted, handcuffed, on cars into thelvillage, and conducted to the barrack by two parties of police from Kinlough and Tawley police-stations, on two distinct charges of at tempted abduction and burglary on the preceding night. It appears that on Friday night (All Hallow Eve), a party of ten young men assembled at the house of Mr. Robert Likely, the celebrated old sportsman of Gurteen, Ballin trilliek, and after being plentifully supplied with good cheer, all preliminaries for the abduction of a certain young woman were arranged. The entire party, consisting of James Likely, the would-be bridegroom, his brother Henry, and the boy Roger, together with the accomplices, all being ' well armed, set off on cars at about eight o'clock p.m., and never halted until they arrived at the village of Boiney, situated on the north nl . o, in - w estern side of Lough Melvi n , and abo u t four miles from iough th , i county Leitrim. On their arrival a t this village (at about ten p.m.) all the party alighted, left the horses and cars to the car e of a f e w of their number, while of xt the rest proceeded in the di r ection ,of the residence or four r John Coulter ; but on their way thither of the p ar ty, w h o were s t ranger s that locality, went into three for the purpose a house, oc cu pi e d b y M r .

Next morning the whole party were brought into Kinlough, when informations were sworn against them, and they were bound to stand their trial at the next quartereessim t4t ganorharnilton i —Nigo indePeniline. Letters have beet, received at Plymouth from the gunvessel Lee, 5, Commander E. C. Symons, dated W hydah, Oct. 10, when all were well on board. It is reported at Plymouth that the crew of the screw steam frigate Emerald, 35, Capt. A. Cum ming, now at Osborne, are daily expecting orders to be paid off either at Portsmouth or Plymouth. She was put in commission in May, 1859. The cause of the leakage in the screw steam cor vette Barossa, 21, Capt. W. M'Dowell, referred to the The Sun of Saturday last, continues a mystery. After being thoroughly overhauled she was taken out of dock at Dcvonport on. Saturday, and in all other respects will be ready for sea to-day, but the leakage continues. A commission of officers coa n coed with the steam reserve met on board on Tues day. It is now stated that while in ordinary at Sheerness she made an inch an hour. Some of the seamen say that when off Ushant she rolled heavily, bat the shipwrights recently employed on her have not observed any signs of straining. Her armament consists of 16 8 inch guns, 4 Arlnstrongs, and one 100 pounder pivot ditto. lie'e engines cause much vibration. The defect is still attributed to some thing wrong in the Ki - dgston valves. 711 E ARMY. A notification, signed by Major-General Sir E. Lugard, K.C.8., Under Secretary of State for War, has been received at Chatham garrison from the War-office, announcing that the payment of £3 3s to men re-enlisting in the infantry, and of £6 12s to men re-enlisting in the cavalry, as commutation in lieu of a free knit, will in future be discontinued, and the following will be the sums to be paid to men re-enlisting after the expiration of their first period of service, and who are provided with a com plete kit at the public expense :—Heavy cavalry, £3 12s 6d ; Hussars, £3 9s ; Lancers, £3 12s 6d; Artillery, mounted, £3lls; Engineers, mounted, £3 12s; Military Train, £3 48 ; Foot Ar tillery, £3 3s; Engineers, £3 2s 6d; Infantry of the Line, Rifle, and colonial regiments, excepting West India regiments, £2 ; Highland regiments wearing trews, £1 12s; Highland regiments wear ing kilts, £2 9s; Commissariat Staff Corps, £2 18s ; West India regiments, £2.

Naylar and Son, the Government con , tractors. Yesterday afternoon Major-General C. C. Hay, Inspector-General of Musketry, commenced his pe - riodical inspection of the corps undergoing their course of musketry instruction at Chatham garri son- The inspection will be continued to-day. DE QUINCEY, THE OPIUM-EATER. Mrs. Gordon, in her life of her father, Professor 'Wilson, gives the following sketch cf that singular man, Thomas de Quincey :—" I remember his coming to Gloucester.place one stormy night. He remained hour after hour in vain expecta tion that the waters would assuage and the hurly-burlycease. There was nothing for it but that our visitor should remain all night. The Professorordered a room to be prepared for him; and they feund each other such good company that this accidental detention was prolonged, without further difficulty, for the greater part or a year. During this visit some of his eccentricities did not escape observation. For example, he rarely appeared at the family meals, preferring to dine in his own room• at his own hour, not unfrequently turning night into day. His tastes veers very simple, though a little troublesome, at least to the servant who prepared bis repast. Coffee, boiled rice and milk, and a piece of mut ton from the loin, were the materials that invariably formed his diet. The cook, who had an audience with him daily received her instructions in silent awe, quite overpowered by his manner, for had he been addressing a duchess ha could scarcely have spoken with more deference. He would couch his r eques t i n such terms as these 0 wing to dyspepsia afflicting my system, and the possibility of any additional disarrangement of the stomach taking place, con sequences incalculably distressing would arise, so much so, indeed, as to increase nervous irritation, and prevent me from attending to matters of overwhelming importance, if you do not remember to cut the mutton in a diagonal rather than in a longitudinal form.' The cook—a Scotchwoman— had great reverence for Mr.De Quincey as a man of genius ; but, after one of those interviews her patience was pretty well exhausted, and she would say, ' Neel I never hard the like o' that in a my days; the bodie has an awfu' sicht o' words. Hit had been my ain master that was wanting his dinner, he would ha' ordered a bale tabletu' wi' little mak than a wauff o' his haun ; and here's a' this clever aboot a bit of mutton nae bigger than a prin. Mr. De Quincey would make a gran' preacher, though I'm thinking, a hantie o' the folk wouldna ken what he was driving at.' But these little meals were net the only indulgences that, when not properly attended to, brought trouble to Mr. De Quincey. Regularity in doses of opium was even ofgreater consequence. An ounce of laudanum per diem prostrated animal life in the early part of the day. Itwas no unfre upon the rug in quent sight to find him in his room lyi front of the fire, his head resting upon ng abk, with his arms crossed over his breast, lie inplun ged in profound slumber. For several hours he would t his state, until the (diects of the torpor had passed away t o wards the early morni ng .ay The time when ha w as most brilliant was g than era once, in order to show him o ff, my father arrang ed hours; and then, n_lof his su pper. parties so that, sitting till mo rning, he brought Mr. D e Q u i ncey whit charm ando f to the point a t w- power conversation he in w th as ree mo o tna r four y in the h wonder THE DRAIN OF BULLION. Owing to the Indian absortion the present drain , of `bullion has been of a more extensive and pro tracted character than any that has been witnessed since the panic of 1857. With two slight excep tions it has now gone on uninterruptedly for 14 weeks, until a total diminution has been sustained of £ 3 ,022,633, which may probably be further ex tended by the return to be published this evening. The last previous outflow of any consequence was in 186 0, when there was a falling off, during eight consecutive weeks, and an aggregate reduction almost precisely similar to that just - witnessed, which led to an advance of the rate of discount from 4to 6 per cent. In the period which preceded the panic of 1857 the drain was uninterrupted for 18 weeks, or four weeks longer than has Set been witnessed in the present instance, and the total re - duction sustained was £4,576,980, while the rate of discount was carried from 51 to 10 per cent. There were two important differences, however, between those occasions and the present—namely, that the stock of bullion held by the Bunk at the date of the commencement of each decline was much be low that which was held when the downward movement commenced in July last, and that the reduction in the reserve of notes coincident with that of bullion was much more nearly equal. Since July the falling off in the reserve has been only £2,040,695, against £3,022,633 in the bullion while in the drain of 1860 the bullion and the Reserve decline nearly together, and in 1857 the action was greater upon the Reserve even than upon the bullion, the former showing a reduction of £4,729,780 against £4,576,980 in the latter. These cirenmstances,which were attributable to the more active state of the commercial demand foe• discount at those dates, afford an explanation of the Bank having at this time found it necessary to raise their rate only from 2to 3 per cent. It is plain, however, not only that there is a fair average exe tent of business now going on throughout the un 7 .ted kingdom, but a tendency to an increase frcan the steady influx of raw material. Still, as we are abutidantly supplied with grain, *and even now hold an amount of cotton which, calculated at existing quotations, would represent a total value not very different from the value of the stock usually held in ordinery periods, there would apparently be no great reason to expect any further or rapid upward move ment in the terms of the Bank if' there were any symptom o" a probable pause in the remittances now being made to the East. Reckoning the £500,000 of bills drawn by the India Council, we seem at pre sent to be transmitting to India at the rate of about rtireo millions sterling per month, and pending the uncertainty as to the point to which these opera tions will extend, all calculations regarding the future of the money-market must be vague. Enough, however, will be apparent to every ob server to indicate a necessity for the exercise of caution. 7111: NA Vl'. The screw steam frigate Phcete, 51, Capt.
