ow MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS—YESTERDAY. Increased ease prevailed in the discount market. The rate for good bills has declined to 2 to 2 per cent. At the Bank of England, where the divi dends are payable to-morrow, there was a moderate amount of business. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Rentes Opened at 68.30, and closed at 68.15 for money, and 68.30 for the account, being per cent. lower than yesterday. The Spanish Government announce for the 30th inst., at Madrid, an auction for %he extinction of the Three per Cent. debt. The sum destined for the purpose is 14,997,645 reals vellon, or about £150,000. . The amount of gold sent into the Bank to-day Was £109,000, making £681,000 since the last re turn. An extraordinary meeting of no London and Yorkshire Assurance Company will he held on the 14th inst., to transfer the business to another com- Pany. The gold discoveries have caused some excitement to-day in the shares of the Van Diemen's Land Com pany, which experienced a fresh rise of about £3. A special meeting of the Ceylon *Railway Com- Plny is called for the 23d inst., to receive a fi:ial report from the directors, and to dispose of the remaining property of the company. CITY NEWS-THIS DAN. CITY, TWEL' FK O'CLOCK. Including the £109,000 taken t here yesterday the influx of gold into the Bank oi! England since the date of the last return already represents a total of £681,000. It is consequently expected that the return to appear to-morrow evening will show a further accumulation of b allion, although the full effect of the recent receipts may not be exhibited, owing to the payment r) r the dividends, Which is likely to have increased the circulation of coin. Gold is now about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and 1-10th per cent. higher here than in Hamburg. The Oneida, which left to-day for the Brazils, took out £12,230 in gold. With regard to the silk trade, the following re- Marks are from Messrs. Durant and Co.'s circular : We have a dull heavy market in silk with very limited business. The last fortnight has been espe cially quiet—the reduction in price in the early part Of the month and the absence of arrivals in the latter part having equally failed to rouse the atten tion of Buyers or induced any renewed dis- Position to purchase. The advices from China by the last mail and also by the telegram received yesterday were more or less of a charac ter to give strength to the market, but, beyond any increase in the desire to realise they produced o effect—about 4,000 bales China and Japan silk are now about to be landed. The deliveries are only moderate, Out so small have been the arrivals that the stock shows a diminution of 2,000 bales. Of Italian and French silk the uncertainty as to crop may be considered settled, the result being probably that the aggregate will be about the same as last season. There is considerable variation in various districts, and so also in prices. In Persian silk the arrivals have been comparatively large, but almost the whole had been sold for arrival. Two o'CLocK. There was a meeting to-day of the Union Baak of London proprietors, when it transpired that the net profits for the half-year ending 30th ult. amounted to £75,522, which, added to the sum of X 22,460 brought forward from December last, gave an availablebs.a lance of £97,982. An increased dividend of 15s . per share was therefore declared, free of income-tax, payable on and after the 21st in st. This distribution will absorb £45,000, and 450,000 was appropriated to the Reserved Fund, leaving a surplus of £2,982 to be carried forward. The a quiet, -emand for money to-day is exceedingly and many of those who require accommoda tion are postponing their operations until the result of the weekly meeting of the Bank of England shall have transpired, the impression being that the mini mum may be reduced to the extent of per cent. It is presumed that the resources of the establish ment have been largely augmented, and that the directors, even if they do not make an alteration to morrow, will soon deem it expedient to adjust their terms more in accordance with the general condi tion of the market. There has been a meeting today of the credi tors of the firms of Marshal, Lacy, and Co., and Prater, Lacy, and Co., shipping and insurance bro kers. After some explanations by Mr. Jay, of the firm of Quilter, Ball, Jay, and Co., the accountants, it was resolved to adjourn for three weeks, in order to enable the committee already appointed to con fer with the partners and their friends with a view to prevent the estate going into the Bankruptcy Court. More activity was displayed in the English Stock Mark et to-day, owing to an increase of speculative business. At first considerable buoyancy was per ceptible, Consols being 92i for money, and 92Z for August, but sales to realise profits having been pressed, a reaction has occurred to 92, 921, and 921 respectively. The New Threes and the Reduced have advanced to 921 ; Exchequer Bills remain at los. to 18s. prem. ; Bank Stock is flat at 235 ; and India Five per Cent. Loan is 108 3 Important fluctuations have again taken place in Egyptian Scrip. At the commencement of busi ness they a d vance d to 71 prem. ; but have since receded t o 61 7 prem.; Russian Scrip is steady at dis. ; Mexican have improved to 28* y ; and Spanish Certificates, 91 a; Turkish 6 per Cents., Scrip ha s a d vanced 1854, are 841 85; ditto, 1858, 71/ -1-; and the New to 1/ 1 prem. In the Railway Share Market business has been rather inactive, and prices have shown little change of importance. Caledonians, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, however, receded abut 55., while Eastern Counties, and North Eastern (Berwick) have improved ss, For the Foreign and Colonial lines the enquiries were also limited. Great Luxembourg remain firm at 14-,t- ; Bahia and San Francisco at 181 ; and South Austrian and Lombardo -Venetian at 221 *. East Indian have improved to 105 and 1051; Madras 5 per Cents. to 1001- 101-1,-; a n d Great Indian Peninsula continued steady at lu2l, Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were dell.

CRIMINAL COURT-THB DAY. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman.) TDB LUDGATE-HILL TRAGEDY. Ann Cornish Vyse was this morning placed in the dock, to answer an indictment charging her wit). the wilful murder of her two children, Alice Kate Vyse aged 7, and Annie Vyse, aged 5. The prisoner was led into the dock, suppored by two of the female warders of Newgate, and placed in a chair, ap parently suffering under the most poignant grid. Upon the clerk of the arraigns reading the indictment, and asking the prisoner whether she was guilty or not guilty, she replied in a voice scarcely audible, ''Not guilty." Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., with Mr. Sbigh and Mr. Besley, appeared for the prosecution, and Sergeant Ballan tine and Mr. Metcalfe defended the prisoner. Mr. Chambers, in stating the case to the jury, entered at great length into the whole of the facts connected with the calamity ; but as they have already appeared it length in The Sun, there is no need of repetition. The first witness examined was Mr. John Taylor, assist ant to Mr. Keating, which was simply to the effect that he sold Mrs. Vyse three packets of " Battle's Vermin-killer." Mary Ann M'Sweeny repeated the evidence she gave at the coroner's inquest. Sarah Saunders, sister to the prisoner, was next exa mined. Tier evidence is perfectly well known. On com ing to the point relative to the letter her sister gave her on the day of the tragedy, she said—ldid not read the note, I merely scanned it. I cannot recollect anything it con tained. Justice Wightman—Was it a long letter ? Witness—A short one. Mr. Chambers—Can't you recollect one word ? Witness—No, not one word. I was so ill I don't know even how the letter was addressed. Mr. Chambers—l have no wish to press hard upon the point, but can't you recollect anything to which it related ? Witness -L-Nothing. Mr. Chambers—Where did you keep it alter you received it ? Witness—ln my pocket. Mr. Chambers—When did you destroy it, before or after the inquest? Witness—Before. Mr. Chambers—Did you destroy it by direction of any person? Witness--No; of my own accord. • Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine_My sister was forewoman to Mr. Vyso before he married her, I was also in the same establishment. My sister and myself were on the most affectionate terms. I have been with her a great deal since the lamentable event. My sister was a very kind mother to her children. I recollect her losing a . child by death in_November, 1860. It was a year and 10 months old. She was not able to get to it, as it was at Surbiton, as early as she could wish. She always fancied she could have saved its life if she had been present sooner. There was also some unfortunate circum stance relating to its burial, The vault got over flooded, Ever since then I have observed a marked difference in my sister's manner. She has been desponding in the extreme. I know that the period of my sister beia unwell passed without her being so. I know as a fact that she has not been unwell since the last week in April. Mr. Chambers—l believe your sister managed the con cern on Ludgate-hill ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Chambers—And she was considered a good woman of business P Witness—Yes. Mr. Chambers—flow many persons are engaged in the house ? Witness—About twenty. The cook in Mr. Vyse's service here repeated her evi dence relating to the food the children had for dinner. Mrs. Harrison, the female searcher of the Fleet-street police-station, was then called. She said—l was in Mrs. Vyse's room after the discovery of the deaths of the chil dren. Mrs. Vyse sent for Smith, the porter. On his entering the room she shook hands with him, and said, " Ah, Mary, has been the sole cause -of this here." Smith said, " Keep yourself quiet, ma'm ; if I could lay my life down, or 5,000 lives, to recall what you did yesterday, I would do so." Mrs. Vyse said, "It is done, and it cannot be undone." Cross-examined—l am certain Mrs. Vyse made use of the words I have used. I had no difficulty in hearing it. She spoke quite plainly. She did not speak quite as plainly as I do. Miss Saunders was not in the room when Mrs. Vyse made the remark. _ _ Miss baunders was recalled, and in answer to Sergeant Ballantine said there is no person in the establishment that I know named Mary. I never heard my sister complain of anything about Mary Wore. The cook's name is Mary, but then she is not called by that name. Mr. Justice Wightman—Then you never heard your sis ter on any occasion complain about Mary ? Witness—Never. William Smith, the porter, examined byMr. Chambers — Ho said, I will tell you all I recollect of what took place when I went into the room in consequence of being sent for by Mrs. Vyse. I took her hand, and then she said, as far as I eculd understand, " What will they do, or what will he do with me." I had been drinking that night and I was very much excited. Cross.examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l have never seen Mrs. Vyse since that time. I had been up all night and was very much distressed at what had taken place when 1 was in Mrs. Vyse's room. Inspector Howard proved the production of the papers which had contained the "vermin killer" powder, before the coroner. They were taken from the pocket of Mrs Vyse's dress. Dr. Payne, who attended Mrs. Vyse after she had in flicted the injury on her throat, in his cross-examination by Sergeant Ballantine, said—l consider that the prisoner having remained with the children and put them into bed after death was a morbid dwelling upon the deed. A sane person would naturally rush from the contemplation of such a horrid deed. I consider her remaining in the room after the death of the children a morbid dwelling on the deed. Mrs. Vyse, as a married lady, was then at a very critical period. I have known ladies in a similar condition to suffer severely from affections of the brain. Supposing there had been a morbid affection of the brain, the loss of blood Mrs. Vyse had sustained would greatly relieve her. Mr. Savory, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, spoke to the appearance of the bodies of the children after death, and also to the circumstance that strychnine had been admini stered. Mr. Chambers—How much strychnine would kill child ren of the ages of the deceased P Witness—That would depend on the mode in which it was administered, whether solid or in solution. I should say a quarter of a grain would most probably kill. Mr. Justice Wightman—What would be the most rapidly effectual Witness—Solution by far. Mr. Chambers—How soon after its administration would its effects become evident—suppose a couple of grains were given ? Witness—l should think the effects would commence in about a quarter of an hour, supposing it were given in the form of a pill; but I cannot speak positively as to that point. Justice Wightman—Suppose it was given in solution ? Witness —Then it would act in four or five minutes. I gave the substance I obtained from the body of one of the children to a cat, and it produced the usual evidence of strychnine. Mr. Attfield, demonstrator of practical chemistry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, said—l analysed the contents of the stomachs handed over to me by Mr. Savory. In both I detected the presence of strychnine. 1 have also analysed " Battle's vermin killer" powder. It consists of starch, sugar, Prussian blue, and strychnine—the latter formed 10 per cent. of the mixture. The packet given to me by Mr. Savory weighed 52 grains, and the strychnine in it would be five grains. From what I have heard from Mt. Savory I should say the sixpenny packet would contain a sufficient quantity to destroy the lives of two children. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine then proceeded to address the jury for the prisoner. He said in the whole of his lengthened experier.c;e, and the le arn ed judge w ou ld b ear him out, a wore melancholy spectacle had never been presented in a court of justice. Here was the prisoner, a person but a short time ago surrounded by wealth and luxury, now at the bar of that court ) charged with the highest offence known to the law—viz., of wilful murder of two of her children whom she loved. Whatever might be the result of their verdict the consequences were too terrible to contemplate, but before he concluded the difficult and painful task, he should, he felt convinced, leave no doubt that the prisoner was net, at the time, in a con dition to be responsible for her own actions. If the jury took that view of the case, even then it was impossible not to think that even the prisoner in the long incarceration that awaited her, would not have preferred, when she had been discovered with life streaming from her, that the kind interference had not taken place. He felt confident that the result of this lamentable inquiry would be such as to clear the name of the unhappy lady from the crime of killing her two children—children, as he had already said, she loved more than perhaps a mother ought to do. The absence of motive was a very important point for their consideration. In this case could it be said there was the slightest motive ? Why, ordinary persons wheh they first read the circumstances con nected with the melancholy case, involuntarily exclaimed, "Why the woman must be mad I" and such he certainly thought would be their decision. It was well known that females suckling after becoming enciente were liable to at tacke of great nervousness, and he understood that was the case of the afflicted lady at the bar. He should also call before them evidence to show that many of the rela• tions of the lady had been afflicte d with insanity, and he firmly believed that there was no doubt that Mrs. Vyse suffered from the same malady, and that her mind at times was liable to lose its balance. The learned gentleman then commented on the evidence given by the witness Harrison, the searcher at a police station, whom, he said, he thought the jury would be of opinion was not quite the sort of person who ought to have been :put in attendance of a person suffering under the frightful nervousness that Mrs. Vyse was suffering, Nothing, to his mind, could bear out in a stronger manner the assertion that she was an irresponsible agent than that she, a fond, loving, and devoted mother, could witness the writhings and agonies of her children, and then with cool ness and composure proceed to lay them out on the bed in the manner they were discovered. He hoped that, after hearing the evidence he should adduce that the verdict would he such as to enable the remaining children of Mrs. Vyse to know their mother was not a murderess. The following evidence was then offered for the de fence : Mr. Richard Vine, a chemist and druggist at Bayswater, and uncle to the prisoner, said his brother Peter committed suicide, his mother was subject to melancholy mania, as also were two cousins of his. Dr. Forbes Winslow is to be examined for the defence. The case was proceeding when we went to press. NEW COURT. (Before Baron Martin.) THE HENDON TRAGEDY. James Lavinson was indicted for the wilful murder of Sarah Ann Cocks at Hendon. The facts of this case have repeatedly appeared in The Sun. It will be remembered that the unfortunate girl met er death from a gun-shot wound in the head, and the pri soner was accused of discharging the weapon. SPORTING---THIS DAY.

UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD v. GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND. This match, which was commenced on Monday at Lord's Ground, Marylebone, was resumed yesuerday morning, the s 3 ore at the close of the play an Monday standing as fol lows :—Gentlemen of England, first innings, 95; The Uni versity of Oxford, 51, with two wickets down. The weather yesterday was much more favourable, and drew together a arger number of spectators than on Monday. A little after the usual hour Oxford resumed its innings, Messrs. W. B. Byles. and It, A. Mitchell ic-appearing at the wickets, the latter remaining till he scored 48, and the former 31. The next to get into double figures was Mr. Inge, 16, and a total score of 136 was the result of Oxford's efforts, thus being 41 in advance of England. In the second innings of England 106 were obtained, of which Mr. Benthall scored 41 (not out), the Hon. S. Ponsonby 19, H. Perkins, Esq., 15, no others reaching double figures. This left the University 66 runs to obtain to secure the victory, which was accomplished with the loss of four wickets only, F. G. Inge, Esq., scoring 29 (not out) ; E. Hume, Esq., 10; S. P. Gamier, Esq., 12 ; which, with Mr. S. Linton's 4 and eleven et ceteras, made the necessary number. The fielding on both sides was deserving of commendation. Thus Oxford won with six wickets to spare. Umpires, Nixon and T. Hearne. PRICE 01? GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mule premium, and the short exchange on London is 25.27 i per Xl.sterling,. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100, per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 3-1 the per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 4261 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.6 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 119 per cent., and the premium on gold is Bto 9 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. SHIPPING-THIS DAY.

The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. THE URIALS BILL. Several petitions wereß presentel against this bill. CLERGY RELIEF BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Sir L. PALK said that he felt bound to move as an amendment that the bill be read a third time that day three months. He contended that the principle of the measure was of the most objectionable character, as it enunciated the monstrous proposition that the House of Commons was entitle to release a priest from the vows which he had undertaen. a power which the Pope of Rome, in the height of Roman Catholicism, never assumed. By the provisions of the bill any priest dissenting from the church might set hi ms elf up as a preacher of heresy in the very parish where he:had been officiating, or if he were so inclined he could divest himself of his ecclesiastical character altogether and adopt some lay vocation. He urged some other objections to tae bill and trusted the house would reject any m easure of the kind which, both in principle and as he believed in practice, would be found mischievous. Mr, LYGON seconded the amendment. Lord HENLEY hoped the house would not refuse to read the bill a third time. He heard nothing during the discussion on the second reading ach anced by those who might be considered the regular represe at ativt a of the Church of England, and the bill had been referred to a select com mittee without any valid argument against it. He re garded the bill solely with reference to the interests of the Church of England, and having carefully listened to the evidence adduced before the committee, he came to the con clusion that those interests would:be served by the adoption of this measure. The bill merely relieved persons from objections which they felt conscientiously could no longer be discharged by them with benefit to themselves in the Church of England. He thought it was highly de sirable that persons who were anxious to secede from the Church of England should have an opportunity of doing so, instead of remaining in the Church and teach doctrines he no longer believed. It was very hard that a clergyman should be deprived of any means of obtaining a living by his exertions in a lay pursuit; and such a penalty was holding forth a premium to hypocrisy. A clergyman might succeed to a large estate, which entailed on him duties that were of an unclerical character, and in a case of that kind it would be most unjust to compel him to remain in the priesthood. He objected to the clause in the bill which made bishops pronounce sentence against seceding clergymen, which would have the effect of branding a man for acting in ac cordance with his conscientious convictions. He objected, also, to the clause which prohibited persons, who had once been in holy orders in the Church of England, from becom ing members of this house. After some further discussion, the house divided : For the third reading .. . 88 Against Majority The announcement of the result was received with loud cheers. CHURCH RATES COMMUTATION BILL. Mr. NEWDEGATE moved the second reading of this After a short discussion the order for the second reading was discharged. LEFT SITING. FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST EVENING. WHITEHALL, JULY 6.

Palmer, C. 8., of the 60th Rifles, 2d battalion, quartered in Cambridge Barracks, Portsmouth. The facts are as follows :—Just before 11 o'clock last night the report of firearms was heard from the barracks. This may be explained by the fact that at a quarter to 11 the sentry per ceived a man named Michael Griffin " snapping caps" in the barrack-square near the colonel's quarters. The sentry told the sergeant of the guard. who went into the yard and there saw the prisoner, rifle in hand. Griffin said, "If you don't go away I'll shoot you," whereupon the sergeant retired and called out a file of the guard, and while about to go into the square again he heard the report of a rifle, which at that hour created much alarm. Upon examination it was found that Griffin's rifle ball had penetrated the are a wall ad joining Col. Palmer's qua rt ers without do in g further hiaorin. ne. It is stated that the man's intention was to shoot hisoo_oB_6! or one of the officers, and whether his r ifle went ti c dentally or not is yet a mystery. The present b the Griffin hovered about, loaded rifle in hand, °Window or chance of Colonel Palmer's appearance at the doubt Eros" elsewhere.
