MONEY JI.4IRKET AND CITY NEWS. --•.,,i CITY, Two o'CLocK. Prom the mrtnufacturinz d 4 stricts the accounts for tlle Past week lava generally been of a more satiafac tory character, owing to the peaceable solution of the Trent affair. At Manchester prices of both yarns and cloths have slightly advanced, while a mode rate amount of business has been done in woollen Roods at Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax. In Leices ter and Nottingham the hosiery and lace trades h ave continued moderately active, while in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and W olverhampton symptoms of improvement have b een apparent. There is still a very moderate demand for dis count accommodation in the general market as well as at the Bank of England, and the available sup plies continue superabundant. Owing, however, to the satisfactory solution of the Trent affiir, confi dence has revived, and advantage is taken of the opportunity thus presented to bring forward nume rous new schemes, which, if tsupported, as there is every reason to believe will be the case, must tend to stimulate the general inquiry, and to impart greater firmness to the quotations. It is also pro bable that commercial operations will be extended, and cause an augmentation in the supply of mer cantile bills offered for negotiation. About £45,000 in gold was taken into the Bank of England on Saturday. The Directors of the South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Company have made a further call of £2 per share payable on the Ist proximo. The Teutonia, from America, has brought £ 3 0,400 in specie. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday business was rather dull, but prices were steadily aaPported. The sales were only about 3,000 bales. The Europa for Boston has taken out £50,000 in gold, and £2,000 copper coin on Government account. At the ensuing meeting of the proprietors of the English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. will be pro- Posed. The prospectus has been issued of the Imperial Moorish Loan for £426,000, in bonds amounting to £501,200, at 85 per cent., and bearing interest at 5 Per cent • per annum, payable half yearly in Lon (1". This loan is in virtue of a convention between the E nglish ',Government and the Emperor of Mo tneeo, to assist his Imperial Majesty to fulfil his obligations to the Government of Sain. The Em- Peror of Morocco binds himself to hypothecate, for the payment of the interest and loan, the customs' re venues of all the ports of the Moorish Empire, and the English Government appoints special corn inissi"ers to receive the customs duties. The average amount for the last five years of the revenue of the customs is stated to be £322,904 ,P e r annum. The loan is to be re °eenaed by a sinking fund of 5 per cent. ,Per ann um, and the bonds are to be drawn °Y lot, half -yearly, to be paid off at par. Sub scribers have the option of paying the instalments la an ticipation, and will be allowed a discount of Per cent. per annum, but in default of due pay 'neat the instalments will be liable to forfeiture. Th e drawings by lot for redemption will take place lalf l e arlY, and the number drawn will be adver tised in the public papers. The scrip is already nominally quoted 3s. to 4s. prem. At the half-yearly meeting of the Union Bank Australia to-day, the report, which was unani niously adopted, stated that' the liabilities of the establishment were £6,107,029 ; the profits made during the past six months 78,606 Bs. od.; and that the reserve fund amounted to £200,000. A divi dend for the half-year of 7 per cent. was carried, and the chairman congratulated the shareholders upon the satisfactory position of the bank, although the period just closed had not been one of prosperity, but of great depression to all persons engaged in the Australian trade. It NV as also stated that though in nearly every depart ment of the bank a smaller amount of business had been transacted, yet the profits, on the contrary, Were larger than on any other occasion. The recent defalcation in New Zealand by a clerk, named Bur ton, to the amount of £BOO, had been written off, a nd the amount now held against bad bebts was be lieved to be sufficient to cover any losses that might arise.

CORN EXCHANGE. The settlement of our dispute with America had a depres, , iug influence on the wheat trade in the whole of the country markets held on Saturday. The business trans acted was limited, at, in west instances, is to 2s per quarter less money. Flour and all other articles IA ere dull, and rather drooping. The French markets continuo extremely quiet for wheat, spring corn and flour. In America, the demand for bread stuffs has fallen off, and prices have had a downward tendency. The arrivals of English produce up to our market, last week, were very moderate. From abroad, we received 56,906 quarters of wheat, 4,601 barley, 11,883 oats, 95 beans, 932 peas, 3,746 tares, 10,696 linseed, 3,983 rapeseed, 6,588 maize, 299 seeds, and 58,060 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were very limited, and the condition of the samples was by no means first-rate. For all qualities —owing to the settlement of the American difficulty, as well as to the large importation of foreign wheat—the trade was very dull, and sales could only be effected by submitting to a reduction in prices, compared with Monday last, of from is to 2 per quarter. The show of samples of foreign wheat was large, and the demand for all descriptions was in a very sluggish state, at a decline in the currencies realised on this day se'nnight of from is to fully 2s per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were very dull, and the quota. tions gave way quite is per quarter. Malting barley was in steady request, and prices were well maintained. Grinding and distilling sorts, however, moved off slowly on former terms. The malt trade was dull, and late rates were barely supported. Oats wet e in steady request, and the quotations ruled firm, the supply on offer—both English and foreign—being only moderate. Beans were in fair supply, and moderate demand, at the late decline in their value. Peas moved off slowly,; yet no change took place in the currencies. For flour the trade was very dull. Country marks were Is per 2801bs. ; and American barrels fully is cheaper than on Monday last. ' CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The market for hops, generally speaking, rules inactive. Good and fine samples, however, command a fair sale at full currencies, but inferior parcels are much neglected.

In colonial and foreign descriptions very little business has been passing. Last week's imports were 518 bales from Melbourne, and 1,267 bales from Algoa Bay. SEEDS.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) STAMFORD RAILWAY COMPANY V. BALLS. This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart. Mr. Malins, Q.C., resumed and concluded his argument for the appellants ; Mr. Hay followed on the same side. Mr. Wood was heard for the respondent. At the conclu sion of the arguments, The Lord Chancellor reversed the decree of the Vice- Chancellor, and declared that there was no foreclosure of the wife's interest under her father's will, and that the ap pellants were only entitled under her husband's assignation of his policy and his wife's surety to them for payment of any money that might be due by him to them to such divi dends and such interest from time to time as might become due to her on her Bank Stock, under her deed of assign ment to the appellants. No costs of this suit against the wife's interest follow the appeal except the deposit. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) BOLT V. ATTORNEY-GENERAL. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—The plaintiff claims from the Government the difference between the amount actually expended and the contract price in com pleting ten gun-vessels for the use of the navy. The amount due in respect of them was under four contracts entered into by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty and Mr. Myres, shipbuilder, Blackwall. Mr. Myres be came bankrupt, and the plaintiff undertook to complete the vessels, and the question raised under the contract was— did he undertake to complete them under the original con tract, or was he to be indemnified for any loss that naight arise in executing that contract, or was there a new contract entered into by him and Mr. Lee, the assignee under the bankruptcy, with the Admiralty for completing these vessels. His llonour, after taking a retrospective view of the facts and circumstances of the case, came to the conclusion that there was no contract entered into by the plaintiff or the assignee with the Commissioners of the Admiralty by which the Admiralty became bound to indemnify them for any loss which might arise in completing the vessels. If the materials had fallen in price, the Admiralty could have had no claim of abatement in the contract price, and because the materials had risen in price in. consequence of the Russian war, the plaintiff had no claim for any loss sus tained by him on that account. His Honour dismissed the plaintiff's bill without costs. SHERIFFS' COURT. A BRITISH ADMIRAL IN COURT-CURIOUS AND IM- PORTANT QUESTION-PURTON V. £4IIIITR. This was an action to recover some rent-charges, plaintiff, a British Admiral, being an extensive landholder in Shore ham, and defendant had been his tenant. The case had been adjourned for plaintiff to amend his particulars, and Mr. Green, for the Admiral, today read, " Money paid to the Vicar of Shoreham at your request." The case was this— Plaintiff had let to defendant two farms in Shoreham, and defendant had paid for two years rent •charges in the shape of tithes to the vicar's agent. Now, when defendant left the farms, it was alleged he had not paid the tithes in ques tion, and it was further stated that, the vicar having put in a distress, plaintiff was compelled to pay to get rid of it. Mr. Green urged that, as plaintiff had paid the tithes under compulsion, he had a good cause of action against defendant. Mr. Buchanan insisted that plaintiff had no cause of action against the defendant. If plaintiff chose to pay the tithes he might do so, but the Act was plain that the only remedy was by distress upon the land ; and, even in that case, it was only the vicar who could distrain, the landlord having no power over a debt not due to him. Mr, Green contended that, if defendant took the farms under an agreement to pay the tithes, then plaintiff would have a good cause of action. Defendant was sworn, and admitted that he had paid the tithes to the vicar's agent on previous occasions, but he had not paid those the subject of the present action. He never agreed to pay tithes. There was no written agreement ; it was a verbal one. Plaintiff-. He did agree. The Court was of opinion that the plaintiff could not recover. If one man, having a great respect for another, were to meet that other's landlord and pay his rent, surely Mr. Green would not lay it down that he had a cause of action for doing that which he was neither asked nor autho rised to do. The Act in this matter set out that the vicar should distrain, but said nothing about a landlord having a cause of action against his tenant. Mr. Green urged the Court not to give a hasty judgment in this matter. It was of the greatest importance to every landholder throughout the kingdom. He (Mr. Green) would satisfy the Court, upon an adjournment, that the plaintiff had a right of action. Mr. Buchanan—Remember that the facts are admitted. We did not pay the tithes—you did; and we contend that you have no right of action. The Court adjourned the case upon payment of Mr. Buchanan's costs, expressing an opinion that the plaintiff could not recover. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BASE INGRATITUDE.—John Callaghan, a boy, was charged with stealing four bars of solder, the property of his employer, Mr. Groombridge, Grosvenor •square, painter. A son of the prosecutor said that on Saturday afternoon, in consequenoe of 4 bars of solder being missed from a cup board in his father's office, and being found in a shed, he placed himself so that he might see if any one took it away. After being secreted for some time, the prisoner, who was his father's errand boy, entered the shed, took up the solder, and placed it in his blouse. He then followed the prisoner and gave him into custody. A constable said at first the boy said he was employed by a person to carry it, but afterwards said he took it from his employers. Mr. Groombridge, sen., said on Tuesday last he attended at Guildhall to give the b y a character, he being then charged, with some others, in stealing some bacon. At that time ho believed the prisoner to be honest, and only a few minutes before ho stole the solder his (Mr. Groombridge's) daughter had been teaching him to write. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the boy for two months, with hard labour. THIS DAPS SHIPPING. LONDON, Jan. 13.—Wind this day at noon—Westerly ; rather fresh, with fine weather.

The deceased was the only son of the late Mr. Anthony Marshall, of Peterborcugh, and was born in 1786. In 1831, while serving the office of Sheriff of Lon don, he received the honour of knighthood ; in the follow ing year he was elected Alderman of the Ward of Bridge within, and served the office of Lord Mayor during the year 1839-40. DEATH OF THE 'VETERAN SAILOR OF WATER- LoO-BRIDGE,—This old man, known to all passers over Waterloo-bridge, exhibiting a ship in full trim for charity, expired on Friday night at his lodgings in Granby-street, Waterloo-road, at the great age of 98 years. He was one of the ringleaders at the mutiny of the Nore, but through a" slice of luck," as he used to call it, escaped the yard-arm lift, and after losing all his former meritorious advantages, and undergoing long imprisonment, ultimately fell to the position in which he ended his mortal career. LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—EASTBOURNE, Jan. 12. The officer of the Coastguard, Mr. W. J. Kikhing, on this station, reports that during a heavy gale of wind yesterday (Saturday) afternoon the barque Druid, from Sunderland to Naples, came to anchor in the roads. She had signals of distress flying and part of her sails blown away. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was imme diately launched (no other boat being able to go through the heavy surf), and got alongside the vessel about five p.m. The master detained the lifeboat by his vessel all night, although his crew were most anxious to jump into her and to be brought on shore, The vessel has fortunately held together, and, the weather having moderated, she will probably be towed into harbour by a steam-tug. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN KING -STREET, HOL BORN.—Last evening, about six o'clock, a fire, attended with a great loss of property, happened in the premises oc• cupied conjointly by Mr. Hansen, a picture-frame-maker and carver and gilder, and a gentleman named Neal, at 26, King-street, Holborn. It appeared that there were four children sitting at tea on the second-floor, as well as Mr. Neal, who was very infirm, In the adjoining room were also taking tea a young lady and a young gen tl e man. One of the servants having occasion to go upon the landing to fetch some boiling water from the kitchen, smelt some thing burning, and she immediately shouted out that the house was on fire, which unfortunately proved to be cor rect, and the four children and the young lady and gentle man rushed down the stairs, through the heated smoke, the best way they could, being met at the shop door w i th huge sheets of flame, which nearly encircled them. They, however, managed to reach the street, but not until th ey had inhaled the heated smoke. Not so with Mr. Neal. He being so infirm, was unable to run down stairs, and h a d i t not been for a gentleman w ho was taking tea with him, he must have been burned to death, or suffocated. As it was his friend pulled him out of his room, got him out on the parapet of the building, and passed him into the next house. The brigade engines quickly attended, and a good supply of water being obtained the firemen went to work in a most praiseworthy manner, but they were una bl e to get the fire ex ti n guished until a serious amount of p ro p er t y was de stroyed. The origin of the fire is unknown. ALARMING FIRE AT ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH, KINGSLAND - ROAD. — Yesterday morning, at a few minutes before the time announced for the commencement of Divine service in St. Philip's Church, Acton-street, Kingsland road, upon one of the officials going into the basement vaults, not fewer than twenty-four sacks of coke were found i n a complete body of fire. The parish and other engines being quickly brought, the firemen were enabled to confine the fire to the vault in which it commenced. Owing to the excitement which prevailed at the time of the fire, the church was closed in the morning, but it was reopened in the evening. The fire, it is supposed, was caused from the coke being delivered too 14ot into the vaults of the churchrt THE GALE. SHIELDS, SATURDAY NIGHT. To-day we have had another storm signal hauled up at. our liarbo . rr's mouth—north cone hoistej over drum, indie,tirq.,r 4 .haf eangrous winds might be expected from the north. The register of the Board of Trade thermometer and baromcky at the station has been as follows during the past two days : Barometer. Thermometer. I 9 a.m. I Noon 4pm 9am Noon I prn; Friday, Jan 10.

A strong gale blew here yesterday from veering round to N.W. in the evening, and becom ing more moderate. The Buffalo, screw storeship, arrived at Spithead during the height of the gale, and let go both her anchors off the southern part of the Spit shoal, from which position she moved. on the wind moderating, further to windward. The St. Vincent boys' training -ship in the harbour drag ged her moorings and drove on to the shoals off the north end of the dockyard, where she remained until this morning, when she was got off by steam tugs and tempoarily moored alongside the Nelson, screw liner, lying up the harbour. The barometer has been vary unsteady for some days. On 'Wed nesday there was a strong breeze from the S.W., with the mercury at 29.7 inches, having fallen from 30.1 on the previous day. On Thursday it blew heavy, also from the S.W., during the fore part of the day, but cleared off in the evening. On Friday the glass fell and rose again 11tenths, with light winds and warm atmosphere. Yesterday the mercury had fallen 3-tenths during the 24 hours, and, as stated above, was attended by a heavy gale from S.W., veering in to N.W., and more moderate at the close of the day, the mercury rising from 29.47 to 29.8 during the night, but falling to 29.7 by 10 a.m. to-day, the close of the 24 hours and now-6 P.m.—having fallen a further tenth. The wind to-day has been light, but is accompa nied by a threatened fall of rain. The ,barque Thomas Fielder, coal laden, struck on the Ower rocks, off Selsea Bill, yesterday; has part of her false keel carried away, having the remaining por tion athwartships, and has been towed into shoal water in the harbour channel here by her Majesty's Revenue screw schooner Argus, where she has taken the ground and remained. She will be got afloat and towed into harbour for examination and repair to-night, if possible, for which purpose steamtugs are in attendance upon her, A Dutch vessel; dis abled from collision, is reported to have put in at the Motherbank. PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY MORNING. Her Majesty's screw steam sloop Lapwing, 6, Commander M. P. O'Reilly, from the Mediter ranean, arrived in the Sound this morning. We have had a heavy storm from the south-west all all night. Oldenburg brig Mouwe has drifted from her moorings in the Sound. The Government steamtug Confiance, with another Government tug and the merchant steamer Wellington, are attend ing on her, superintended by Commander Ayler, the Queen's Harbour-master. The schooner Dapper, from Jersey, with wine for Bristol, has grounded in Deadman's Bay, Catwater, but will probably be got off. A schooner which grounded near the Bar's head, Catwater, has been towed into Sutton har bour. CHATHAM, SATURDAY. A violent gale of wind from the west and south swept over this port and the neighbourhood to-day, lasting some three or four hours. During the height of the storm a considerable portion of the fine stained-glass window over the communion table at St. Mary's church was blown down by the violence of the wind, causing damage to a considerable amount. In the harbour the gale was felt unusually strong, but fortunately no casualties occurred among the shipping, most of which struck their royals anti topgallant masts. The lowest reading of the baro meter was 29.5. 'TIE NEW AIETROPOLIT <IN RAIL !VAT Within the last few days a series of claims for compensation, amounting in the aggregate to a large sum of money, for alleged injuries done to the ad jacent property here and there, especially in the New-road by the construction of the Metropolitan or Underground Railway, have been heard and decided in the Sheriffs' Court before Mr. Sergeant Hayes, acting es essessor, and a special jury, with the aid of counsel on both sides. One of these claims, to the amount of nearly £5OO, was raised by Mr. Horrocks, the proprietor of the Queen's Arms publichouse, Euston-road. Mr. Francis was principal counsel for the claimant, and Mr. J. H. Lloyd for the respondents, who were the railway company. The house in question is situated at the corner of Skinner-street, Euston-road, and origi nally stood back from the road about 50 feet, with a forecourt in front. In 1859 the claimant, on taking possession of the premises, excavated the forecourt for cellarage purposes, and constructed overhead, on what was the forecourt, a new building for carrying on his business. This new structure covered the whole of the forecourt, and was con nected with the front of the old house by means of what is call"d in masonry a straight joint. In May, 1861, a landslip took place to the westward of Skinner-street, by which the main of the New River Company was broken and some damage done to the houses in the vicinity. It was alleged on behalf of the claimant that in consequence of that slip the forecourt of his premises subsided, causing a reparation between the new building and the old, a large fissure appearing at the point of junction. In July last the cellars of Mr. Horrocks became flooded with water, which was also attri buted to the slip. Fearing the water would sap the foundations of the house, he shut up his premises for a time, for the purpose of having the foundations strengthened and repaired, which was subsequently done, and he asked of the company compensation for damage alleged to have been occasioned by their works, and to be reimbursed the sum expended in the repairs. His claim amounted to £489 6s. 10d., including £340 1 ls. 6d. for loss of trade, and for rent and taxes for 13 weeks, during which the house was stated to have been shut up. The architect and surveyor to the claimant, the builder, and the claimant himself were examin e d. On the part of the company Mr. Lloyd, their counsel, contended that the separation between the old and the new houses was caused by the new building shrinking from the old, the new being merely attached to the old one by a straight joint and not " bonded" into it. He also argued that the water in the claimant's cellars could not have been the result of the slip, inasmuch as the railway cutting in the Euston-road was upwards of 36ft. below the surfac e o f th e road, while the slip occurred in May, and the flooding of the cellars was not discovered until July. He further contended, in point of law, that even if the damage had been occasioned by the company's works, the building injured not being 20 years old, the pro prietor was not entitled to the support of the ad joining soil, which by their Act was vested in the co mpany. A novel point was also raised by the learned counsel, to the effect that by the 7th George IV., cap. 142, it was enacted that any building erected on new foundations on a forecourt, and within 50 yards from the side of the New-road, should be deemed a common nuisance, and he there fore argued that, supposing the company might be liable to compensate the claimant for the subsidence of the land itself, if such would have taken place had the new building not been erected on the fore court, he could have no right to compensation in respect to a building declared by an Act of the Legi slature to be a common nuisance. The jury, having inspected the premises, returned a verdict to the effect that, it there had been n 3 building upon the forecourt the ground would not have sunk ; that the building wis erected on new foundations, and, consequently, came under the designation of the statute of George IV. ; and that the premises of the complainant had not been injuriously affected within the meaning of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act. A company has been formed to lay a submarine cable from St. David's Head to Wexford, for the purpose of opening direct telegraphic communication between London and Queenstown. The Electric and International Telegraph Company are to construct at their expense all the necessary land lines, and Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co. have entered into a contract with the company to lay the submarine per_ Linn, and have undertaken to guarantee its efficiency for 11 years, the whole to be completed in two months. This undertaking, however, appears to be scarcely necessary, since a company has already been advertised, which, from a concession of land that has been granted to it, seems likely to command a priority of communication with vessels approaching the 13110 re. st 2s 6.1 10s, 10 10,6, S'harel 100 Rtk 18 20i 20* 10 100 i 100 100 17i 20 stock 204 204 100 100 100 stock stock stock 20 stock stock stock 7.4.0 55j 17s 11b 1.14.0 9.18.9 1k 10.0.7 1.7.2 Paid. 100 all all all all 100 100 100 all 18.8. all all all all all all all all all MID -3.2.101 6.8.6 8.12 4.11.6 1.10.6 li 5.9.
