There has been a rather large addition to the stock of bullion, The reserve of notes, however, has been slightly decreased, while the other securities, owing to a temporary increase on the demand fin• Money, have been augmented. The subjoin table exhibits the various items, and the changnf; they present : Active Circulation £20,196,830 Increase .. 326,680 Bullion 16,812,798 Inerea . • . . .. 264,212 Rest 3 , 667 , 817 Increase .. •• • • 2,273 Public Dey:vits 8,413,275 There , tse 401,581 Other Deposits.. .. 13,154,258 Decrease „ 186,670 Seven Day and other Bills .. 617,825 Increase .. • • • • 4,466 Government Securities 10,895,242 Increase .. • . .. 178,981 Other Securities .. 18,244,965 Increase .. • • .. 105,137 Notes unemployed .. 10,343,250 Decrease .. • • .. .. 108,185 The Council of the Bank of France have reduced their minimum rate of interest and discount from 4 per cent., at which it was adjusted on the 6th utt, to 3 1 ; per cent.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there Was rather more activity, and prices were well r eaintained. The sales were about 4,000 bales. The market for American Securities has shown rather more activity. The subjoined remarks are from the circular of Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co.: ' 1 There continues an active demand for American Securities, and during the past week transactions have been large, whilst prices remain without ma terial alteration." There is a steadily-maintained demand for dis count accommodation, and the rates, although they remain at an exceedingly low range, therefore exhibit firmness. The best bills, however, are yet negotiable on easier terms in the open market than at the Bank of England: The dividend warrants on Pennsylvania Rail road 6 per cents. will be paid on and after the let Prox imo. During the last few days the operations in the foreign and colonial produce markets have not been very extensive. Sugars have been a shade cheaper; while tea, cocoa, and rice have remained at about former prices.

Tallow has been dull, with little change to report either for Present or forward delivery. _ _ _ The English Stock Market, although dull in its aPpearance, opened steadily, and a few transactions took place at the quotations current on the pre vious day. Sellers, however, then came forward, and a fractional decline ensued, Consols being 93/ for transfer, and 93/ for the 10th proximo.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Erasmus Walstone, a man abon! 50, was charged before Air. Yardley with attempting tc commit suicide by drowning at the Serpentine. Edward Robinson, park constable 39, said he was gate kee er at the Serpentine-bridge, and on the previous even ing saw the prisoner get over the bridge on to the parapet and stoop down. lie went up to him and asked what ho was going to do, when he replied "Only to look at the water." Ile then took the prisoner into custody, and on searching him he found two letters, one addressed to Mr. Evans, and the other to Mr. Mundy, the members of Par liament for Derbyshire. On making inquiries ho found from the groom of Mr. Evans that the prisoner's brother was the Post-office keeper an Quorndon, Derbyshire, and that he was acquainted with him. Prisoner said he was born at Quorndon, and worked there as a pressman to Mr. Moxley, but had come to Lon don, there being no work. Mr. Yardley said it always excited his suspicion when he found persons begging of meutbers of Parliament represent ing the places where they said they were born. Prisoner said his brother kept the Post-office at Quorn don. Mr. Yardley sent the poor fellow, who was in a deplor able state, to St. George's Workhouse, and ordered that after he had rested and recruited himself he should be sent to Quorndon.

SUICIDE FROM LONDON BRlDGE.—Between three and four o'clock yesterday morning a young female was observed crying bitterly, and following a sailor on Lon don Bridge. Suddenly she mounted the parapet in one of the recesses, and threw herself into the river. An alarm was instantly given, and the body being distinctly seen by a policeman on duty, boats Were promptly put off, guided by a signal from the constable, but she had disap peared just as a boat reached the spot. Drags were obtained but the body has not been recovered. 4SSIZB ,INTELLIGENCE. _.-_. HOME CIRCUIT. --LEWES, March 27. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Mr. Justice Wight-Inali and Special Juries.) 'WILLIAMSON V. THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY.-THE CLAYTON TUNNEL ACCIDENT. The circumstances ender which thi s action was b ro ught were given in yesterday' s p a p er. S er j cant Slam and Mr. B. Rigby appeared for the plaintiff. The plaintiff was 23 years of age, and obtained his livelihood as a pianoforte tuner, earning, accord ing to his own statement, between £2 and £3 a week. The company paid £4OO into court, consider ing that this was a sufficient amount of compensa tion for the injuries that the plaintiff had received. Daring the progress of the trial it appeared that an offer was made by Mr. Bovill to give the plain tiff £lOO in addition to the sum paid into court, and, eventually, this offer was increased to £l5O. The counsel for the plaintiff, however, refused to accept the offer, and the cause, consequently pro ceeded. Mr. Bovill, in his address to the jury for the company, repeated what he had stated in reference to the other cases that had been disposed of, that the directors were most desirous to give ample com pensation to every person who had received injury by this unfortunate calamity, but they were deter mined to resist imposition, and considered that in the present case the sum of £4OO paid into court was an ample amount to be paid to the plaintiff for the injuries he had sustained. He then called the attention of the jury to the facts, and observed that the plaintiff was a very young man, whe could not earn more than between £2 and £3 a week, and that the injuries he had sustained were really not of a serious character, and that there was very little doubt that with a few months rest. which the sum mentioned would afford him an ample opportunity for enjoying, he would be perfectly recovered. The learned Judge having summed up, the jury, after a very brief deliberation, expressed their opi nion that the sum paid into court was sufficient com pensation for the injury the plaintiff had received. This verdict was tantamount to a verdict for the defendant, and the whole of the costs of the action will consequently have to be borne by the plaintiff. WHEELED., ADMINISTRATRIX, V. THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY. This was another action of the same description. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Garth were counsel for 'the plaintiff; Mr. Bovill, Q.C., the Hon. G. Denman, Q.C., and Mr. Ffannen represented the company, who paid £l,OOO into court. Sergeant Shee, in addressing the jury, said that, among the numerous calamities that occurred in the Clayton-tunnel on August 25th, none was more melancholy than that which they were about to in quire into. The plaintiff was a young woman in a humble condition of life, a domestic servant, and she brought the present action to recover compen sation for the loss of her father and mother, both of whom, with an infant, were killed upon the spot when the dreadful collision took place, leaving the plaintiff and eight other children orphans. He felt it was right that he should state to them that it ap peared to him that the company had acted with the utmost consideration for these poor children, and had done everything that could reasonably be ex pected of them to alleviate the misery and distress into which they had been plunged by this unhappy calamity. They had paid £lOOO into court, and they had since agreed to pay a further sum of £5O ; and he considered it his duty also to state that imm2- diately after the accident the company offered to provide a home and education suitable to the condi tion in life of the younger children until they should be of sufficient age to earn their own livelihood, and also when that period arrived to obtain a respect able mode of livelihood for them. It was not consi dered advisable to accept WI; offer, and the com pany then consented to give the family £l,OOO, and they now agreed to give .E5O in addition, and would also pay the whole of the plaintiff's costs. The learned sergeant then explained that although it would not be necessary to go into the case, a duty was cast upon the jury to apportion the amounts that should be given to each of the children, and he said he should put them in possession of the neces sary information to enable them to do so. Jane Wheeler, the plaintiff, having been exa mined, and Mr. Bovill having addressed the jury, they after a short deliberation apportioned the amount among the children as follows :—To plaintiff, £250 ; to Joseph, £3O ' • to Lydia, .£71); Charles, £l5O ; £150; Elizabeth, £200; and Charlotte, £2OO. No portion of the money was allotted to John or Mary Anne, as they appeared to be in a condition to earn their own PARKER, ADMINISTRATRIX, AND PARKER V. THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Lusb, Q.C., and Mr. T. Chitty appeared for the plaintiffs in these actions, which also arose out of the same fatal accident. The company had paid £4OO into court, in refer ence to both actions, and they now consented to give a further-sum of £lOO, which was accepted by - the plaintiffs, and nominal verdicts were consequently taken.

SUICIDE AT A PUBLIC HOUSE.--An inquest was held yesterday by Mr. G. S. Brent, the deputy-coroner, at the Running Horse Tavern, Harrow-road, Paddington, - on the body of Charles I.nap,aged 52, w h o committed suicide by suspension to a ha t peg in the parlour of the above tavern. It appeared that the deceased had been a sale sman i n busi ness, but through', re verses in circumstances had ',become depressed in spirits. On :Monday .7 . morning last he left home and expressed his fe ars to his wife that he should never ob tain employment. About one o'clock on that day the de ceased was found in the parlour of the Running Horse, banging behind the door from a hat peg with a rope with a slip knot round his neck. Mr. Rugg, surgeon, of the Har row. road, was called in , and immediately sought for phy sical signs of life. It was, however, fruitless to attempt re. suscitation, as he had been dead some time. The cause of death was, he believed, suffocation combin e d w ith apoplexy. Ho made no post - mo rtem examination, which he did not regret, as the churchyard and deadhou se i n w hi c h th e b o dy was placed was totally inco nvenient for a scientific exami nation, there being no attendants, no warm water, and no soap nor towels, and it was desperately cold. The jury agreed with Mr. Rugg , and said it was a disgrace to the parish. The jury found a verdict of " Suicide ,under tem porary insanity." BAILEY ♦, THE SAME, This was another action of the like kind, but terms were offered by the defendants and accepted, and the record was withdrawn. LOCKSTONE, ADMINISTRATRIX, V. THE SAME. The same result took place in this case, and one or two other actions were disposed of in the same manner, and thus these painful inquiries were brought to a conclusion. There are only one or two other causes in connec tion with this sad accident remaining to be disposed of, and it is expected they will be settled without appealing to a jury. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—WARWICK, March 27. THE CASE OF RICHARD GUINNESS HILL. Richard Guinness Hill surrendered to his bail on the following charge, viz., having, at the parish of Rugby, on the 7th of January, 18b9, unlawfully and wilfully made, or caused to be made, to one William Herbert, then registrar of births for the district of Rugby aforesaid, certain false statements required to be made known to the registrar of and concerning a male infant, born of the body of one Amy Georgiaua Hill by the said Richard Guinness Hill. her husband, in the district of Rugby aforesaid, on the sth day of January, 1859. The information was laid under the 41st section of the act of Parlia ment 6 and 7 Wm. IV., c. 86, entitled " An Act for Registering Births, Deaths, and Marriages in Eng land." Section 17 of that act of Parliament enacts that the Registrar-General should provide books for registering births ; section 20, that the father or mother of every child born in England should within 40 days next after the birth give information upon request to the registrar, to the best of their knowledge and belief, of the several particulars Ly the said statute required to be known, and touching the birth of such child ; and section 41, that every person who shall wilfully make or cause to be made, for the purpose of being inserted in any register of births, deaths, or marriages, any false statement touchingany theparticulars required as aforesaid, should be subject to the same pa ins and penalties as if he were guilty of perjury. Mr. Guinness Hill was discharged or. the appli cation of Mr. Field. CIVIL SIDE. (Before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.) • THE SWYNFEN CASEr The hearing of this case was resumed this morn ing. Previous to the taking of Mr. Kennedy's evi dence his lordship suggested to Mr. Kennedy the desirability of his softening has language, and to speak of Mrs. Swynfen as the defendant, and not as the lady or the woman. Mr. Kennedy then proceeded itt some length. In the course of his statement he said the defendant told him that if he took chambers in the Temple she would reimburse him afterwards. He entered at considerable length into the various proceedings connected with the Swynfen trials, with a view to show that he did not officiously interfere to pro mote the action against Lord Chelmsford. Mr. IKennedy read an extract from a letter, the" further hearing of which his lordship stopped on the ground that the letter must be considered as confidential, for it was nothing more or less than a request for a tampering with witnesses whom Mr. Kennedy was about to examine after the receipt of the letter which he was then reading. Mr. Kennedy replied that nothing would have induced him to read the. ~ letter except that he was charged positively with crime. He was charged with obtaining b y pretences a deed for the purpose of raising £20,000. that The reason he disclosed the corresponde n c e w as with a person the letter showed that he was dealing of large and crafty mind, and q uite his equal in intellect. In Sept. he was invited to her house, and whilst there he went with her to an island on the estate. He suggested that a name should be given said to the island, and she s .“ Call it Hope Island ; i t is hope equally for both." When he return remember Mr. Kennedy , ed to the house he Wrote some also rings, placed gave him some his some verses in her alb um in reference them on reference to it. finger, and there they have been ere ev er since. Had not up to April, 1859, ever asked her for any written contract. Mr. Kennedy gave details of correspondence and conver sations which had passed between himself and his c lient, in reference to the action a ga i nst Sir F. The siger. Re expressed his fears a b out t he risk, and t h a t it would b e drea dful. She replied that she would ma ke him a rich mau, an d o ff ere d to g i ve h i m £20,000. He shook his head, and said to her, „ If you get the estate for life you may do as you have often proposed, leave Swynfen, let the house, and allow me an annuity; that would do for me. You might then Come and live in London, and be near me. I NZh you to consider your own interest land feelings, not mine. I should prefer safety." The next day the subject was. again referred to, and she told Mr. Kennedy that she was indisposed to make terms, for Mrs. Francis Swinfen would poison her. He urged her to make up her mind, for he said if he went to trial he would not compro mise, for if he did he would be doing the same thing as Sir Frederick Thesiger. After the final judgment was given in the Swiakn cause, defendant wrote to him again thanking him, and expressing her ac knowledgments for his services. In March or April, 1859, there was a general re-election, and he told her that he was advised to become a candidate for some place, and he said to her' If you could raise me four or five thousand pounds by mortgage you might confer a great service at an important crisis." There was a probability of the Government being turned out, and with a new Lord Chancellor there was a probability of his getting a silk gown. Several letters passed between them on this subject, ninny of which were evasive. In another letter she said, " Remember if anything happens to me, I have left you the bulk of rnpestate." A long correspondence 1 and several conversations took place as to the terms of remuneration, and be said to her, " You have mentioned several times £20,000, do you con sider you owe me that money ?" She said, " Cer tainly ; but you know you cannot have it at pre sent." He said he knew that, but he ought to have some security, and suggested a mortgage, but she said she did not like mortgages. She said she had left him the bulk of the estate, with a charge of only .ElO,OOO for her relations. He told her a will was not security. They had some conversation afterwards in London, in the Zoological Gardens, as to his remuneration, and he said to her, "Pa tience, listen.; would you mind giving me by deed what you said you have given me by will P—that will be something." She replied, " Yes, Charles, I I will do it cheerfully." The next day he prepared. a draft in accordance with that, and it was not true that he had not shown it to her. Afterwards made an alteration in the draft, by which £lO,OOO was covenanted for debts and legacies of Mrs. Swyn fen's. Never asked her not to tell Mr. Simpson or any other person of the circumstance. He asked her to make it public. She requested concealment. Never heard a word of complaint about this until she wrote a letter complaining that she did not know what she was signing. [Mr. Kennedy was under examination when our parcel was despatched.] COUR.7 OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday, at a Court of Common Council, held at Guildhall, the question of the present position of the London Eire Brigade underwent discussion. Mr. Thompson Hankey, as Chairman of the Select Committee of the House of Commons now engaged in considering how the metropolis may be best protected from fire, had invited the Cor poration to depute some one of its mem bers to give evidence before them on the subject. That invitation was referred to the Police Committee, who came to two resolu tions diametrically opposite. They had two sittings, at one of which they selected the Lord Mayor, who is understood to have given much consideration to the matter, and Mr. Commissioner Harvey, to re present the Corporation before the Commons Com mittee. At their second meeting they passed a resolution that in their opinion the present fire brigade force sufficiently protected the interests of the citizens, and therefore that it was not desir able for the Court of Common Council to volun teer evidence before the Committee. Deputy Lott presented the report of Police Committee, of which he is chairman, and moved its adoption. The Lord Mayor said there was no fault to be found with the present fire-brigade, except that it was altogether insufficient for the whole metropolis, and that instead of 100 men it should probably be com posed of 500. It would be unwise to abolish alto gether a force which had the experience and tradi tions of a century and a half. It ought rather to be• made the nucleus of an enlarged system, and be commanded by an officer who should be indepen dent of any authority, except that of a Secretary of State. He thought the duty paid on fire in surances, amounting, in round numbers, to £1,500,000 annually, might partly be made available in defraying the expenses, the fire offices also contributing. If about 15 per cent.. of the tax were applied in :maintaining a proper fire establishment in the metropolis and through out the country, it would be well spent. Mr. H. Lowman Taylor submitted that it was com petent for the Lord Mayor to attend the select committee and give evidence as an indivi dual. Alderman Salomous, 111.P., - tirged that it was highly disirable that a gentlenian so well qualified as the present chief magistrate of the city to speak on this difficult subject should attend as a witness. kr. De Jersey held that it would be discreditable to the Court to adopt the report of their Police Committee, shirking as it did all the material ele ments of this important question. Eventually the motion for adopting the report of the Police Com mittee was negatived, and the Court adjourned. BANK RETURNS.
