-~.,~,~ MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is still a tendency towards increased activity and firmness in the general discount market, although the movement hitherto has been of little importance. The mercantile community are in the position to negt tiatt securities as low as 2i, and in exceptional cases at 2Z- per cent., and the available supplies of floating capital appear to be exceedingly abundant. A small quantity of gold, viz., £3,000, was pur chased by the Bank authorities yesterday. No material alteration took place in the Conti nental exchanges yesterday afternoon. Gold is now about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, but about 1-10th per cent. cheaper here than in Hamburgh. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, busi ness was inactive, and prices were steady. The vales were estimated at 4,000 bales. The half-yearly dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. on the Ecuatorian Bonds has been announced for payment. The traffic receipts on the Lancashire and York shire Railway for the past week show a decrease of about £5,000. _ The failure was announced yesterday afternoon of Mr. J. G. Vallentine, merchant, whose liabilities are estimated at i 200,000. The assets, however, are expected to prove very satisfactory. The fol lowing circular has been issued to the creditors : " 4, Cullum-street, London, May 6, 1862.. "I regret to have to inform you that in consequence or the non-arrival of anticipated remittances, I am under the necessity of suspending payment. "Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Youngs, and Co., have been instructed to prepare a statement of my affairs, which will be submitted to a meeting of my creditors at the earliest pft. - -.sible period. In the meantime, requesting your for bearance, I am, your obedient servant, " J. G. VALI:ENTINE." CITY NEWS---THIS DAY . Two O'CLocx.

On Friday last, a man, named Thomas O'Connor, assumed the garb of a Catholic clergyman, and pro ceeded to Bray by railway. Captain'Richard Dug gan of Kingstown, who is a little disabled in the limbs, slipped on the platform, when the supposed clergyman ran to his assistance. The captain thanked him for his kindness, but the bland O'Con nor told him not to mention it, that he was only too happy to be of any service. When the train was about to start, his would-be reverence was getting into a third-class carriage, when the captain in terposed, and paid the difference between a third and a first-class fare, and travelled with O'Connor to town. On the journey they conversed most familiarly, and "the gentleman i n bl ac k" represen t e d himself as a priest travelling for subscriptions for the erection of a church. The captain gave the zealous collector five shillings as a subscription. When the train arrived at the terminus the captain invited his friend to join him at dinner. The invitation was accepted. Dinner was not ready when they arrived, and the captain went with his newly- mad© Ina c acquaintance to a bedroom. The captain being a little weary from his journey, lay down on his bed to have a , nap till dinner was a nnounced. He placed a purse, ' which contained over 170 in notes under his pil low, and in a short time fell asleep. In about half an hour the reverend gentlema n came down _stairs, and took his departure, wishing the servant woman the enjoyment of the choicest blessings. When dinner was ready, the captain was called, and t it was then discovered that t he p urse was emp y. 'O'Connor was nowhere to be found, but the police were put upon his track, an d he eventually captured in Dublin. The police was however found upon him £56 of the cap tain's money, a French stlry book, and some music elegantly bound. He had also stowed away on his person the designs and plans of the intended new church, and a number of documents, which proved that the distinguished artist had "raised the wind" by offering to get persons situations, and that he had advertised himself as a situation agent. —Freeman's Journal.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. - (Before Mr. Registrar Roche.) IN RE JONES. This bankrupt was a hosier, at Tottenham, and this was a meeting for choice of assignees. Mr. T. Beard appeared for the petitioner, and put in a list of creditors who had proved their debts, and proposed a Mr. King, warehouseman, in the City, but a counter pro position was made by a widow lady, who proved her debt by power of attorney, and was not in attendance. Mr. Beard objected, and said the trade creditors wished for a trade assignee, and not an old lady of 75. The learned Registrar said that was not desirable, but he suggested there should be a joint assigneeship. Mr. Beard said that would be worse still; some very ant'quated notions might be brought forward not at all con sist out with present views. The Registrar said he could not decide ; tke question was one for the Commissioner, and he should adjourn the choice till the last examination. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE MORGAN. This bankrupt was described as of Peppin's. court, Fleet stt ret, dairyman, and this was a meeting for last exami nation. /sir. Beard opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt had unfairly got rid of his property. _ _ His Honour said that if persons would denude themselves of all their property before they came to this Court they must take the consequences. The case would be adjourned. Bankrupt would be allowed to come up at his own expense, or the petition would be dismissed. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Common Jury.) EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF TRESPASS AND EJECTMENT. -DAMAGES £150.-PAWSON Y. SMITH. This was a writ of inquiry sent down from the Court of Common Pleas to assess the damages laid at £l,OOO under circumstances detailed as under by the learned counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. Griffiths, for the plaintiff, said that there were in the south side of St. Paul's Churchyard, some very exten sive premises known as St. Paul's Hotel, and it was in reference to those premises that the present proceedings arose. Mr. Pawson obtained a lease from the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's for a period of 21 years, and he found that under a former lessee there was a sub-lessee, who again let to the defendant, then in possession and carrying on the hotel. When plaintiff made known to defendant that he had become lessee of the premises, defendant's term had nearly expired, but ho begged plaintiff would allow him to remain for a short time longer. This was permitted, and defendant offered plaintiff £2Ol to be allowed to remain for three months more. Plaintiff granted this request, and defendant continued in occupation ; but upon a certain day defendant wrote to plaintiff that, acting under the advice of his solicitor, he declined to come to any terms with plaintiff, who had said defendant had no right or title to the premises. Under these circumstances plaintiff sued out a suit of eject ment, which defendant opposed, but unsuccessfully, before a judge, and the trial was ordered for hearing, when sud denly defendant turned round and admitted the wrong. He (the learned counsel) pointed out the expense to which plaintiff had been put, and urged the loss sustained by plaintiff, as defendant not Qnly refused to quit the hotel, but actually shut it up, and to this day plaintiff had been unable to git a tenant. Mr. Needham, for defendant, consulted with his client, and the result was a verdict for £l5O. POLICE---THIS DAY. BOW-STREET, THIS DAY. THROWING BOILING WATER OVER A BOY.—James Williams, who keeps a coffeeshop in the neighbourhood of the Seven Dials, was charged with throwing a quantity of boiling water over Charles Creasy, a boy about 12 years cf age. The boy Creasy said—The saucepan was on the fire in Williams's back room, and I was in the passage. He had been quarrelling with my mother, and I had taken her part during the row. I saw him take up the saucepan, and I ran away, but he followed and threw the hot water alter me. It scalded the back of my head. Mr. Abrams, the solicitor, who attended for the prisoner, asked the witness whether his mother was not living with Williams as his wife? The witness replied she had done so for five or six years. Mr. Abrams—Did you MO your mother throw a bottle at the prisoner. Witness—No; I didn't. Mr. Abrams—Did he throw the water at you, or at her P Witness—He took up the saucepan to throw the water at her, but she got out of the way, and then he threw it at me. Mr. Henry -It would not alter the case if it were so; the law is that if he threw it at her, and it missed, and went. over the boy, that would be an assault. Mr. Abrams—l am quite aware of that, but then it makes a aifference, I submit, in a degree. The mother: of the boy and the prisoner had been quarrelling, and she bad given him great provocation. I believe up' to the present time my client has always treated the lad with kindness. He is now extremely sorry for what has occurred. I am not offering theso remarks to your worship as an excuse for what the prisoner has done,' but I am bound to point out that the case, bad as it is, does not arise out of a deliberate attack on the child who had given no provocation. The mother of the boy contradicted many of the state ments put forth on the part of the prisoner. His conduct to her had been very bad, and she should have left him long ago, but being without money she was compelled to remain with him. She had pawned all her clothing at the request of the prisoner, and if she attempted to look after a situa tion in the shabby things she now had on, which were all she had in her possession, sho was certain to one would employ her. She was willing to leave him at that moment if he would but give her some money to get clothes with. Mr. Abrams said, if an arrangement was permitted, the prisoner as willing to make a provision for the woman and her son. Mr. Henry remarked that pity for the poor woman and her child would induce him to consent to any such arrange ment; but he wished it to be distinctly understood that he was not influenced by any merciful consideration towards the prisoner, whom, on the contrary, he had determined to send to prison without the option of a fine if he did not sa tisfy the mother and her boy. He looked upon the assault as one of a very cruel nature. The poor fellow's bandaged head and scarred face showed that he had suffered very severely. Mr. Abrams--The scars on the boy's face arose from other causes—certainly not from hot water. Mr. Henry—Well, if the prisoner knew that, that was an additional reason why he should not have thrown the water over him. The parties then retired, and after a short absence, Mr. Abrams said he would agree that the prisoner should be bound over for six months to keep the peace towards the complainant and her son—that he would provide the furni ture and clothing according to the list drawn up by her— and that he would pay to the party appointed by her to re ceive it the sum of 10s. Gd. per week for their support. Mr. Henry said he would reserve his judgment for three months. During that time he would take care to be well informed as to huw the prisoner performed his part of the contract; but of this he might rest perfectly satisfied, that if he omitted his payments, or in any way annoyed the poor woman, he would send him to prison without the liberty of paying a fine. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. INIPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—TnTs DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Banstead and Epsom Downs Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. MARLBOROUGH •STREET, THIS DAY, SERIOUS ANNOYANCE TO A TAVERN KEEPER.—Wm. Garrett, a labouring man, was charged before Mr. 'Tyr whitt with annoying Mr. Herbert Allcorn, licensed victual ler, 31, Great St. Andrew-street. Mr. Edward Lewis, of a eat Marlborough-street, ap peared for the complainant, and said he had for some time been so much annoyed by the defendant, his business at times being completely upset, that he must ask that the defendant be put under heavy bail. Mr. Allcorn said the prisoner was in the habit of coming to his house sometimes drunk and sometimes sober, and using the meat disgusting language towards him in the presence of his wife and daughter. He came three times to his house on the previous day, and on each occasion made use of the most violent language, challenged him to Ifight, and thou went outside and behaved in a similar man ner. At times he interrupted his business, assaulted his customers, and several of them had left his bouse in con sequence, and his conduct collected mobs round his house. Mr. Tyrwhitt, having ascertained that the prisoner was a dealer in birds, ordered him to find two responsible house keepers in the sum of £2O each to be bail for his good con- I duct for six months. THKNIES. A FEMALE SAVAGE. —Catherine Regan, an Irish basket woman, was brought before Mr. Wo . olrych charged with cutting and wounding Julia Fitzgerald, her rival in busi ness and the affactions of a tall fellow who stood near the prosecutrix. The complainant said that between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning she was on her way home, and was accosted by the prisoner in Glasshouse-buildings, Rosmary-lane, who said " I have caught you no w, and mean to serve you out," and immediately struck her with a spit, and broke it with the force of the blow. The witness presented the remains of the broken spit, and turning round exhibited to the m agistrate the surgical plaster on the back of her head where she had been wounded. The witness added that the prisoner had repeatedly threatened to do for her, and she was in anticipation of further illusage. Julia Bryant confirmed the statement of the com plainant. The prisoner set up an alibi, and said she was in bed with her mother from Marrowbone (Marylebone) at the time mentioned by July. tShe then called Catherine Macarthy and Bridget Donovan, who deposed to being present at an Irish row, at 2 o'clock this morning, in Cherubim-cour t. The row had nothing to do with the ease against the pri soner. Mr. Woolrych fined the prisoner 10s.or 7 days ment. The Prisoner — I will give it her, Ind s mash, her head for her when I come out of gaol. imprison- FOREIGN MINES. :0 Australian 1 BonAccord Copper,Lim.l 5 Brazil Land St Min.

Petitions were presented by Sir E. Colebrooke, Lord E. Scott and Mr. Finley, from various places in Scotland, against certain portions of the Publichouses Act Amend ment Bill. COUNTY COURTS PROCEDURE BILL. Mr. M'MAHON moved the second reading of this bill, the chief object of which was to give to parties suing in the county courts the same right of appeal which they had in the superior courts. In the county courts, where the sum sued for was under £2O, the decision of the county court judge was as absolute and irrevocable as the fiat of any Turkish Pasha, and that was a state of the law which he considered ought to be altered. It was, in fact, giving the county court judges a penal power over the person it the party sued ; and there was a case where a debtor was by the judge consigned to prison for thirty days when the debt was only tenpence. He did not vish by the measure to give the right of appeal in all cases, but only when the judge might see it necessary to give leave to appeal. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the measure. The procedure and practice of the county courts were in a great measure above the observati, n of the bar, or of the class of attorneys and solicitors, and were in fact confined to the County Court judges themselves. It was, therefore, those parties who were best able to decide as to the work ing of that procedure and practice, and having obtained the opinions of the majority of the judges of those courts, he was bound to say that they were all opposed to the provi sions of this measure. Besides, that five out of the eleven clauses of the present bill—namely, 2,7, 9, 10, and 11 were all taken from the Common Law Procedure Act of 1852, and were in operation at the present time in the procedure and practice of the county courts. Of the remainingsix clauses, three had relation to interpleaders, as to giving these courts jurisdiction to entertain equitable defences; and one, the eighth clause, to give the right of appeal. He considered that the adoption of any of these clauses would have the effect of interfering with the original purposes for which the county courts were established, and he must, therefore, oppose them. He had communicated with the county court judges, for the purpose of ascertaining if any amend. ment could be made in some portions of the county court procedure, and on receiving their reply it might be necessary to found a measure on their suggestion, and in these circumstances ho would move that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. HENLEY considered that having now almost re leased the upper and middle classes of imprisonment for debt, it was unjust and unfair that the poorer classes sued before the county court judge should be consigned to pri son simply upon the caprice of the judge. He thought that was an anomaly in the law which ought to be amended. Mr. AYRTON also condemned the present system of imprisonment for debt as respected the lower classes. If a man can manage to contract a debt of £2O or upwards be would not be permitted to get into a prison, but might release himself from the whole of his debts, while the poor man, who could not manage to contract a debt of £2O, was cast into prison for the small debts he had contracted, and had the whole of his goods taken from him. Sir G. GREY said the state of,the law was certainly an anomaly, and would receive the attention of the Govern ment. After a few words from Mr. M'MAnoN in reply, in the course of which he stated that were the County Court Judges consulted, as proposed by the Attorney-General, no alteration of the law would ever take place, the second reading of the bill was negatived without a divioion. SMOKE NUISANCES (METROPOLIS) ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. This bill passed through committee, and was negatived without amendment. PUBLIC HOUSES (SCOTLAND) ACTS AMEND- MENT BILL. On the order of the day being read for going into com mittee on this bill, Mr. CR. 3 UFURD moved as an amendment, " That in the opinion of this house it is not expedient to sanction any further legislation on the subject of Public Rouses in Scotland which does not consolidate as well "as amend the present acts." In moving that resolu tion, he was not opposing the measure before the house ; but as there was much uncertainty and difficulty respecting the existing law on the subject, what he wanted was, that the matter should be postponed with a view to the consoli dation of the existing acts of Parliament, by which the public-houses system in Scotland was regulated. All he wanted was, that the House should not be called upon to add confusion to confusion, which they would most certainly be doing by adding this confused and unintelligible act to the others equally confused and unintelligible which already existed. Mr. BUCHANAN having seconded the amendment, Mr. MURE, who has charge of the measure, opposed the amendment, on the ground that the adoption of it would be the means of postponing all legislation upon it for the present session. All the public bodies in Scotland had petitioned the house in favour of the measure, and that at all events showed that the measure in their estimation was not so confused and unintelligible as the honourable and learned gentleman seemed to insinuate. Mr. BUCHANAN said so s- on as he heard of the mea sure being introduced he placed a notice on the paper that any measure on the subject should have for its object the consolidation of the sanitary law on the subject, and therefore the hon. and learned gentleman who had charge of the measure could not complain of the present amendment. He was astonished this motley piece of parchment should have been offered to the House of Commons. The men who it would affect belonged to the lowest class of society, and men carrying on public-houses were not to be expected to understand and comprehend all the minutiae and whereabout of these acts of Parliament, which even the judges who had to carry thorn into effect did not understand. He was not un friendly to legislation on the subject and to an improvement of the present law ; but, as he believed this measure would make matters worse, he should oppose it. • Major HAMILTON considered the question to be whether they would throw out the present measure for this session or not, and as he was not prepared to do that he would oppose the amendment. Mr. LESLIE, as a member of the Royal Commis sion who inquired into and reported upon the public-house system in Scotland, stated that out of the seventeen recommendations of that commission he considered that the present measure embraced fourteen, and therefore he should give it his cordial support. The measure was not a restrictive but a protective one to enable the people of Scotland to protect themselves from the terrible inroads which intemperance was making upon them, and he hoped the measure would soon be brought into operation. Mr. W. EWART said that he would vote for going into committee, but on the understanding that there should be a consolidation of the law next session of parliament. The LORD ADVOCATE supported the measure on the same grounds. Sir E. COLEBROOK E suggested that they should pass the bill through committee, and then have it recommitted for the purposes of consolidation. Mr. BASS said as the law on the subject was so doubt ful they should pass those clauses of the bill which were absolutely necessary, and then have the law on the subject consolidated next session. After some further discussion the amendment was nega tived without a division, and the Speaker having left the chair, the house went into committee on the bill. On clause 1, Mr. DALGLISH proposed to add a proviso, to the effect that the appeals from the justices and magistrates, in cases of granting licensing certificates, should be taken to the Sheriff instead of to the Quarter Sessions, as at present the appeals to the latter were simply an appeal from the justices to the justices. Mr. MURE, while he admitted that some other tribunal of appeal might be advantageously established, thought the Sheriff was not the proper party, an d he 114 0 die amendment would not be passed. did also the Mr. CRAUFURD supported the proviso, as LORD ADVOCATE, as he considered t he appellant jutlts diction of the licensing system the lea st satisfactory portion of the working of it. it stood was simply appeal C01. eYmK Philip i said i t d e the Philip, l clause i usei w as of opinion th a t some different tribunal of appe al should be established. n a After some further discuss ion, the proviso was withdrawn a c lause appointing a court of with the report. appeal u w n e d u e l r d s t b a e t na ought h t t hat p a u t The clause was the n agreed to. On clause 2, URD proposed to introd uce wor d s g i v i ng irits, who were also w h o l esa l e d ea l ers, re t a il dealers of s p p owe r to send out on permits the article s specified in the Mr. CRATIF license certificates at other hours than those specified in such certificates, the object being to place wholesale and retail dealers on an equal footing as to sending out spirits on permit. The amendment was, however, after some discussion, negatived without a division. Clause 2 was then agreed to, as were also clauses 3 - to 12 inclusive. In clause 13, which provides for the police having autho rity to enter the houses of wholesale spirit dealers, Mr. CRAUFURD complained that while the measure protected the wholesale spirit dealer from the visits of the police, except in cases where there was reason to belive that a breach of certificate was being committed, it gave no such protection to the respectable hotel keeper, whose premises might be invaded at any time, and on any or no pretence whatever. He therefore proposed that they should be placed upon the same footing by inserting the words in which he has reason to believe, a breach of certificate is being committed. •" MURE opposed the amendment,, and the committee. having divided, there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority against the amendment.. ---86 The clause was then agreed to. Clauses from 14 to 33 inclusive were agreed to, with some verbal amendments, when a quarter to six having arrived, the chairman lett the chair and reported progress, and the house resumed.

The gaudy buttercup, though a sad plague to the farmer, for the cattle cannot feed upon it, is yet extremely useful in medicine. Most of the butter cup plants have a poisonous watery juice, which possesses emetic properties. The root of Ranun culus bulbosa, the bulbous crowfoot, was formerly called St. Anthony's turnip, but it is quite useless for the purpose of nutriment, even when cooked. A beautiful plant of this tribe is the lesser celandi ne , R. ficaria, abundant in quiet hedgerows and moist meadows during March and April. Its heart-shaped leaves are marked with whitish-green spots. It is an excellent prognosticator of the weather ; its blossoms shut up just before rain. It is a sluggard in its habits, seldom lifting up its head to look upon the sun before nine in. the morning, and always retiring before five in the evening. The root of this plant is much used in Cochin China as a medicine, where it is held in great esteem, and be lieved to possess innumerable virtues. In many parts of Norway and Sweden it is used as a table vegetable, its leaves being boiled and eaten as greens. It is also used in some English counties to prepare a wash for removing specks from the eyes. All the species of crowfoot are useful in medicine ; their chief characteristic is that of raising a blister on the skin ; and they are frequently used in cases of acute inflammation in the place of cantharides, and the effect is attended with a less amount of suffering. One very beautiful and interesting species of ranunculus may be found in abundance during May and June, in most lakes and clean ponds, and sometimes in rivers. It is called Ranut3culus aquatilis, and produces abeautiful white blc,ssora on the surface of the water. The most beautiful:we have ever seen were growing luxuriantly in the little stream that falls into the Ravenabourne, at Rushy Green. This is the only one of the family which is destitute of poisonous properties, and this peculiarity is the less to be expected in an aquatic plant. It is largely used as fodder in various parts of Gloucester and Somerset. The borders of the lovely Avon—a stream dear to all who have seen its peaceful waters and fertile banks, and dearer still for its poetic memories—are covered with it in profusion, and it gives an aspect of great love liness to the calm and quiet river. It is largely used by the cottagers as fodder ; cows, sheep, and horses are fed upon it to a great extent. The cows are so partial to it, that they are very reluctantly dis suaded from taking more than they require. Mr. Loudon states that one farmer who had several I cows and horse, required only one ton of hay in the course of a year, feeding his cattle Lamest entirely upon the ranunculus.— Gardener's Weekly Maga zine and Horticultural Cabinet.
