111'),VEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOcK. There is 'no alteration to report in the discount market to. day ; the transactions as usual on Satur day being extremely moderate. Trade continues dull s anc, the requi remen t s o f t h e mercantile com munity arc consequently much below the average; nor is there any immediate prospect of improve ment, as a settlement of the civil war in America must be effected before a full return of prosperity can be expected in the commercial world. The current minimum in the general market for first class bills is 2-1 per cent., and it is almost unne cessary to remark that the applications at the Bank of England, where 21 per cent. is charged, notwith standing an important reduction in other securities, and an extensive increase in thereserves of notes and gold, are v er y muc h cur tailed. Unless some decided change should occur in the position of the market, it is not improbable that the directors at their meeting, on Thursday next, may find it necessary in the interests of their proprietary and of the pub lic at large to modify their quotation to 2 per cent. It is expected that the New Turkish Loan will be introduced to the market on Monday or Tuesday next!. Tn the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, bL,iness was quiet, but priees were tolerably well supported. The salts were 5,000 bales. About £48,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to about £422,000, and the exports to £430,000. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited a slight advance in the rate on Paris. The interest on Brazilian 5 per Cent. Bonds will be paid on the Ist proximo. A call of £3 per share, amounting together to £120,000, becomes due on the 31st inst. on the North British Border Counties Union Railway guaranteed £lO shares. The market for Public Securities continues eb aelrent, and a small amount of business has been transacted in Consols at 941 1 for transfer, and at 91 i a for the account.

In the Railway Share Market a more buoyant tone has prevailed, and most of the principal British Undertakings show an improvement of 1 tog per ce nt.

It C einc.ides with th e recen t s t a t emen t s o f M r . L a ya r d in the house of Commons, and shows that by a reduction of ex penditure on the one hand, and the imposition of new taxes on the other, an excess of revenue may be antici pated of £598,483 for the current year. The new taxes are ‘llie tlY on tobacco and salt, but a modification of the n : 18 torns duties, in order that they may be levied on the T, Lt al value of the merchandise imported, will also —e 'd a large sum. The total increase of receipts relied from all sources is £3,268,408, and there seems no sy: °l3. to apprehend that their collection under the reformed e ta now premised to be inaugurated will press with any e e ,;: rit Y en the population. From the sum provided in the mate for the interest on the proposed new loan, it would itc'ear that the nominal amount is to be £lO,OOO.

PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. 16 i 81 9 1 7 191 / TDIS DA Y'S 111ARK.E7'S. COVENT GARDEN. The testimonial subscribed for by a number of noblemen and gentlemen, who were Etonians with this eminent tragedian, was presented this afternoon in the St. James's Hall by the Duke of Newcastle. It consisted of tine pieces, viz.:—one vase, two candelabra, four dessert stands, and two groups. The groups illustrate the two fairy plays of Shakspeare—the "Tempest," and "Midsummer Night's Dream," one is composed of Prospero (a portrait of Mr. Kean), Miranda (a portrait of Mrs. Kean), and Ariel—the other of Oberon (a portrait of Miss Chapman), Titania and Puck, Ihe candelabras are for five lights, and have upon their bases portraits of Shakspeare " O'er canopied with lush, wood bine, with sweet musk roses, and with eglantine." The tragic and comic masks rest upon their plynths. The des sert stands are richly decorated, and have upon their stems, in separate shields, the initials of Mr. and Mrs. Kean ; in panels upon their bases are subjects from "Twelfth Night," "As You Like It," "Merry Wives of Windsor," and "Henry the Fourth" (Ist Part). The vase and its pedes tal are devoted to the representation of the localities dear to Mr. Kean and his fellow-Etonians (the original promoters of the testimonial), and .to Mr. Kean's great revivals of Shakspeare's plays—the relieve encircling the body of the vase, contains portrait groups of Mr. and Mrs. Kean in the characters from " Lear," " Macbeth," " Richard the Second," " Hamlet," " Henry the Fifth," " Winter's Tale," "King John," " Richard the Third," "Much Ado About Nothing," " Henry the Eighth," " Merchant of Venice," and figures of Shaksperian tragedy and comedy. Upon the neck of the vase, are medallion portraits of Queen Elizabeth and her Most Gracious Majesty Victoria, with their respective arms, terminating the body beneath the relievo on ornamental divisions, showing some of the wild flowers, mentioned by Shakspeare. The foot is ornamented by English figures of Peas . lossom, Cobweb, Moth, and Mustard Seed; supporting medallions contain the portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Kean, and shields with their initials, the whole interlaced by sprays of laurel. The pedestal contains views of Eton College, seen from the river, the Eton fete on the 4th of June, the school• yard, and a shield with the inscription : " Presented to Charles John Kean, F.S.A., by many of his fellow-Etonians, together with numerous friends aad admirers among the public, as a tribute to the genius of a great actor, and in recognition of his unremitting efforts to i m nrnoa the tone and 1 tth h t f the B tish Stage, March 2d, 1862." Mr. KEAN returned thanks in appropriate terms. A vote of thanks to the Duke of Newcastle terminated the proceedings. HOUSE OF COMMONS—MARCH 21. RESERVED CAPTAINS IN THE NAVY.

(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.) HEDGECOCK V. HEDGECOCH AND ASHDOWN. This was a suit by the husband, a butcher residing at Gravesend, for divorce on the ground of adultery with the co-respondent, a bricklayer's labourer residing at Plum stead. The respondent pleaded denial and cruelty, and the co-respondent pleaded denial, but did not appear by counsel. Dr. Wourmbey and Mr. Baker Green were counsel for the petitioner, and Dr. Swabey for the respondent. From the statement of counsel it appeared that the parties were married in 1850, and cohabited until the early part of 1860, when the respondent's habits became so intempe rate that her husband separated from her, and placed her with a respectable female at St. Albans. The husband made her a weekly allowance, which was regularly paid until the discovery of her misconduct, and it appeared farther that the parties had a family, issue of the marriage. The other facts are developed in the following evidence : Mr. David Green, a grocer, residing at Gravesend, said— I was acquainted with the petitioner and his wife. I knew them before marriage. I was present at the ceremony; it took place at St. George's Church. The lady's maiden name was Watson. I was at Gravesend in November last. I saw the respondent there. I pointed her out to Mr. Outred, Mr. Eyre, and three other persons, whose names I have forgot. Mrs. Mary Cox—l- reside at St. Albans. II know Mr. and Mrs. Hedgecock. I have known Mrs. Hedgecock from her childhood. I bAuubh, hcr. up until she was nine y ears old. Her mother then fetched her and pat her to a board ing school. She returned to me when she was about 13, and stayed with me about six months. ' I recollect her marriage. I frequently visited her after. I had opportu nities of seeing how her husband treated her. I saw nothing but kindness. She occasionally visited me at St. Albans soon after his wife came, and stayed after her marriage, and stayed 'with me for about a we e k. Hedgecock came to se e m I n e. the H early e ea m p s a ei r x t alone,of o r lB 56 Mr. b se v e n i t time she conducted herself very properly. In 1858 she came again—Mr. Hedgecock was with her—and on that occasion I procured a cottage for Mrs. Hedgecock. By the Judge—Mr. Hedgecock said he was determined to live separate for a time through her drink. Examination continued—Mr. Hedgecock and his wife returned the same day that they arrived, but in about a week after she came to live in the place which I had taken for her. It was not ready, and she stopped a week in my house, and then removed into the cottage. She had two children with her. Mr. Hedgecock used to visit her frequently at St. Albans. Mrs. Hedgecock conducted herself very indifferently, I am sorry to say. I have seen her under the influence of drink. 1 knew her to go to the house of a Mr. West, which was about half a mile from Mrs. Hedgecock's cottage. She left the cottage, on the ground that it was not respectable enough for her. I was fetched to Mr. West's house after Mrs. Hedgecock had been there about three months. I saw her on the bed very drunk. Mr. Hedgecock allowed her £1 a week. Mrs. Hedgecock left St. Alban's early in August, 1858. Her husband fetched her home. While she was at Mr. West's Mrs. Hedgecock told me she had signed the pledge. I saw her at Plumstead Common in 1859. Cross-examined—Mrs. Hedgecock is about 35 years of age. In September, 1856, she had a child born. She made no complaints about her husband. In 1858, when Mr. Hedgecock visited St. Albans, he, I supposed, slept at his wife's cottage. He did not tell me that he had done so, and I never asked him where he had passed the night. She never complained in the presence of her husband of his conduct towards her. Mr. Hedgecock never spoke to me about his wife. I saw enough of her conduct in the news papMerr.s.FolSehye, has aysesrpyagedoken to m Plumstead-common, at No. 1, Walworth-road. Mrs. Hedgecock was my landlady. She let the house afterwards ma man, , aboutsasa i d—ln 1859 I res id e d on giving evidence here. to a Mrs. White, and then she occupied the parlours. I know a man named Ashdown. He used to come to the house while Mrs. Hedgecock was there. She then moved up stairs to the front room, and then Ashdown used to visit her in that room. I lived in the back room on the same floor. They used to send me out for a good deal of beer. Ashdown, when he visited Mrs. Hedgecock, used to stop an hour or two. Cross-examined—Ashdown used to work at the brick laying. Hedgecock has come to the house, but he never went in. He used to come to see the two children that wero there. Mr. Hedgecock said he wanted me to speak the truth about Mrs. Hedgecock. Margaret Foley said—ln the summer of 1859 I was living in the house of Mrs. Hedgecock, on Plumstead- Common. I lived in the house till 1860, when we removed to the next house. While I was living there Mrs. Hedge cock used to take some beer, and I have seen three men visit her when she occupied the front parlour, in which there was a sofa. She kept good hours in the house, and was not up late at night. Her visitors used to arrive generally about seven, and leave at ten. Mrs, Hedgecock told me she had a gentleman &ming to see her who was an editor of the Times—(laughter)—and that he gave her 10s. a week. (Laughter.) I asked her what she meant about his being an editor, and she said he was taking down news. (Laughter.) The Judge Ordinary—And than he was to report it? :Laughter.) Witness—Oh, no; she was to report it to him, and then he'd take it down. Judge Ordinary—Then she was to take down the news for him ? Witness—Yes. He was to write it down, and she was to get it put in the newspaper. (Laughter.) The Judge Ordinary—Well, did the editor come to see her. Witness—Yes, he used to come of an evening—(laughter) —and stop some time with her to get the news. (Laugh ter.) Ashdown used to visit her sometimes in the day sometimes in the night. The Judge Ordinary—You're not a native of Woolwich ? Witness—Oh no, sir. I corns from Ireland, sir. The Judge Ordinary—l thought so. Mr. Joseph Jacobs said—l am a publican, residing at Plumstead Common. I let the house No. 3, Warwick place. I let it in May, '59. I afterwards let it to Mr. Ash down, who took it for his mother-in-law, Mrs. White. Mrs. Hedgecock remained in the house after I had let it to Ashdown, Ashdown used to go there of course, as his mother-inlaw lived there. I don't know that he visited her before Mrs. White came there to live. I have told Mrs. Hedgecock that the lodgers had made complaints about her, and that they were afraid to sleep in their beds for fear of the house being burned down. I gave her notice to quit at that time. She made no reply. I was in Graves end last November. Mrs. Hedgecock was pointed out to me. She was the same person as I had known at Plum stead. Tho old man Foley used to live in the house I let to Mrs. Hedgecock. Mrs. Sarah Hunter said—l used to send my children. to Mrs. Hedgecock's school, but was compelled to take them away in consequence of her tipsy habits. I shortly after left Plumstead and went to live at Sydenham. About Christmas, 1860. Mrs. Hedgecock came to me at ihat place, and I then saw she was pregnant. I told her so, and she denied it. When Mr. Hedgecock left she said referring to a loose dress that she wore, " I've deceived him by wearing that dress." I was compelled to get her some drink. She left my house about a fortnight before she was confined, She told me sbewasprfoegnre her ant husband after noonbdeneeme when she stholedwa me M s tipsy.r.iijgh c a o t ck was not th e f a th er o f the was be child. She was confined two doors from my p l ace. I went shortly after, as she had written for me, and brought the child away to nurse. I know that she used to receive money from her husband. Cross-examined—l have see n Mr. H edgecock at the door of the house on Plumstead - co mmon, b ut I never saw him at Gravesend, go in. January, 1861, Iledgecock was tstoti Md attend_r . iGe was a o George ge Greenwich S in s tr ucte d har l a u b d py , solicitor, Al..le eu dr gt.ec resi din goek Mrsin. charged with deserting her infant child. I made a state ment to the magistrate in her presence. I said that she was living apart from her husband, and that he denied any knowledge of the child until he heard of the charge against her. The magistrate told her he understood she was "Whose child e is separated , t f o ro w m hi li c e h r husband, an d e au n d o as r k e e p d l yh;e r hthen asked, her, "Where is he I:" and she said, " Gone to Barbadoes, and that he was a teacher of languages. At the conclusion of the evidence, the learned judge summed up, and the jury returned a verdict for the petitioner. The learned judge then granted a rule nisi. FISHING AT FILLY.—From the latter part of March to the early part of June the fishery for halibut, cod, ling, skate, and turbot continues at the Dogger Bank, which is about eight hours' sail from Flamborough Head, and consists of an enormous sand-bank reaching from the latitude of the coast off Newcastle to the Humber, with water from 35 to 40 fathoms deep f o llowing their migration so u th ward b etween round it.

As soon as the lot were in sight Fanny went to the front; with Heidelberg, The Martyr, and Kyatky Baschick next to her; Capsicum and Havelock in the rear. On corning to the fence rounding the turn for the straight, both Captain Cooper's two refused (Jack Hinton and Cockatoo) and may from this point be said to be out of the race. All got safely over the water jump, and proceeded up the hill, where the following five only ap peared to be in the race, viz., Fanny, with a lead of half dozen lengths, The Martyr, Kyatky Baschick, Miss Maude, and Heidelberg; Redwing heading the next lot, which were whipped in by Cockatoo. On again coming in sight, Fanny, with The Martyr and Kyatky Baschick, were lead ing twenty lengths, and as the trio came to the turn for home, where the grey was beaten, the other two came over the last flight of hurdles side by side; Fanny run ning the strongest won easy by six lengths. Kyatky Bas. chick was a bad third, Smoke fourth, Heidelberg and Miss Maude fifth and sixth ; Capsicum waked in next, Havelock coming in riderless, having disposed of his rider at the last fence but two.

On coming into view First Flight was leading a couple of lengths, having Sledgehammer, Cockatoo, Waverley, and Charles the Twelfth gelding next, all in a ruck, Jack Hinton and No Mistake heading the next lot, the rear being brought up by Full Cry and The Squire. In this order they came on for the water jump, which Sledge hammer was the first to charge, followed by First Flight, Cockatoo, Waverley, Charles the Twelfth, Lincoln, Jack Hinton, Elvira, Full Cry, No Mistake, and The Squire a long way in the rear. No change occurred until charging the fence on the top of the hill, where Jack Hinton, No Mistake, and the Charles the Twelfth gelding fell and re turned by a short cut hone. After this the lot disappeared from view behind the hill, and, on coming in sight, sledge hammer was leading several lengths, First Flight and Cockatoo side by side second and third, Waverley, Elvira, and Lincoln in Indian fifv, fourth, fifth, and sixth, Full Cry and the Squiro many lengths behind. On rounding the turn opposite the two.year-old post, Lincoln got on better terms with the leaders, having passed Elvira and taken fourth place. Soon after this Sledgehammer and First Flight held out signals of distress and at once re tired into the rear. The race was then confined to the leading trio, viz., Cockatoo, Waverley, and Lincoln. At the last fight of hurdles the favourite got up to the side of Waverley, and raced in after Cockatoo, but was never able to reach Captain Cooper's horse, who won easy by three lengths, Lincoln beating Waverley by the same ; Sledge hammer was fourth, Elvira, fifth, First Flight a dozen lengths behind next, the Squire walked in seventh ; Full Cry fell at the last fence but one from home, and, like Jack Hinton, No Mistake, and the grey gelding, did not pass the post. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY. For the Northamptonshire Stakes Prince Plausible retains his place. Some money was invested on Rapparee without altering his position, as 100 to 8, although taken, was after wards offered. Finlande and Dusk had friends, but, a slight advance was not wanted. Agag appears rather shaky for this event, and he was not very firm for the Chester Cup, but towards the finish 200 to 10 was booked about him. The highest offer on the field for the City and Suburban was 10 to 1, and the highest offer against Camarino was 100 to 6. There was no change on the Derby or Two Thousand Guineas.

Several changes having taken place in the crews during the past week, we again give them as they at present stand. It will be seen that Cambridge has introduced two entirely fresh hands, in the hopes of obtaining additional strength, a want of which has been complained of. In the Oxford boat the bow man has been placed to row the after oar, and with that change a race was rowed last week against the following scratch lot, among which will be found the names of some excellent oarsmen :-1. Garnett (8.N.C.) 2. Halton (Trinity). 3. E. Lane (All Soul's, formerly Bal liol). 4. Champneys (8,N.C.) 5. G. Morrison (Balliol). 6. Couchman (Trinity). 7. Hopkins (Corpus). 8. W. M. Hoare (Exon). Ridsdale (Wadham) (cox.) The Univer sity crew started, as usual, from Sandford, and at Nune ham the hostile eight were in waiting, and rowed with them to Abingdon Leaner, the University coming in well ahead. OXFORD. st lb 1.

A TIMELY .RET.REAT. The first thing that a soldier or Volunteer s bould learn is how to take up ground. and hold it reso lutely ; the next, how and when to give it up. We are not sure that the latter acquirement is net by far the most difficult for Englishmen and Secitch men. At any rate, the quality which enables men to see that they have taken up a false position— or, at least, one that is liable to be misunderstood —and to confess that they have done so, is rare, and one of which the value cannot easily be over estimated. It was our duty last week—and a most distasteful one it was—to criticise the method which a very influential committee of Volunteer officers in Glasgow had adopted for bringing the wants of the Volunteer force generally under the attention of Parliament and Government. With their general object we were, and are, entirely in agreement. It is most desirable that the question of what help the nation should give to the Volunteers should be can vassed and looked at from all possible sides, and that prompt action should be taken upon it, that we mayknow exactly where we stand, and what we may reckon upon in the future. This was the ob ject of the committee in question, and they were, to some extent, justified by precedent in the method. they proposed to adopt for the furtherance of their object. There was, as they very fairly say, a meet ing in London last year of a similar character, and to that meeting at that time no objections were taken. This year they intended to hold another meeting, to which they desire that corps from all parts of the country should send representatives. They sent out circulars to sound the commanding officers, and received upwards of 200 replies,aleaost all of which were favourable to the proposed plan. Then, and not till then, they summoned the moet ing. The meeting of last year did no ;Irani, though we do not think it was even then a wise measure, or that it did anything towards furthering the end we all have in view. But in a movement like ours, vast in proportions, and still in its infancy, things which may be harmless or even beneficial in one year are by no means sure not to be dangerous in the next. And the more we weigh the matter the more sure we are that these meetings would have become so. The Glasgow Committee themselves acknowledge that in their own body the idea of a " league agitation" was pro pounded by an officer. It was at once and dee cidedly put down ; but the simple fact of its enun ciation in such a place is enough to startle all well wishers to the Volunteers. And though put down in the Glasgow Committee, who had definite ideas of what they wanted and how they were going about it, we have reason to know that it was mooted in many other quarters with considerable applause, where no such definite ideas existed, and there was only some purblind notion that it was high time to put the screw on Government. Therefore, we rarest heartily congratulate the force that the Glasgow Committee have withdrawn their proposal for this meeting, and at the same time must thank the com mittee for the gentlemanly and sensible manner in which they have retired from a false position. We believe that by this conduct they have done far more towards gaining their point than could have been done by any number of meetings such as th ey had called. They have strengthened the hands of the Volunteer officers in both the Houses of Parlia ment, who are already consulting as to what they can reasonably ask, and who, are not at all likely to a less than they think there is chancebk for d of anyth ing et e t y i g They have taken from the Go vernment argument, which, howev er friendly y they g to the force, and anxious t o e Bia vmr ing s . ht strong bn e support it, they would have been more than a Go vernment if they had neglected to use; and they have shown those military men who are still not reconciled to the Volunteers—and who would have pointed to such a meeting as the proposed one at Willis's-rooms as an absolute confirmation of all the worst things they have ever predicted about us—that we are not. going to institute any crusade against the constituted authorities. With respect to the question of aid, we are not sanguine that we shall get much more this year than adju• tants and drill-instructors, ammunition, and good cloth at cost price. Sooner or later we believe that the principle will be recognised that all which can be fairly asked of Volunteers by the country is that they should find their uniforms, give their time, and find their own bands and prizes. If the great body of young Englishmen are to be brought into the Volunteer ranks, it must come to this ; and nothing short of bringing them all in will satisfy any friend to the movement. But we must arrive at this much to be desired goal by slow steps; and many things will have to be altered and. recast before we shall get there. Meantime, let us go over the ground steadily and carefully, and keep every part of the nation in as good humour with us as is happily the ease at present.— Volun teer Service Gazette. ACCLIMATISATION OF ANIMALS IN AUSTRALIA. Several of the camels introduced into Anstral,Fa, and employed in Burke's recent expedition, are breeding. The acclimatisation of the alpaca hag also been a great success. Its wool is fine and. valuable, its carcase is good for food, and the con stitution of the animal seems to be improved by the Australian climate. The Victorian Society have sent from the Botanical Gardens to Tasmania, under the care of the distinguished botanist, Dr. Mueller, several native bears, improperly so called, being a perfectly innocent and harm less creature living upon nothing but gum leaves. It is an animal .very amusing in its habits, and although its flesh is not very valuable, yet for a man on an exploring expedition, or lost in the bush, it is sufficiently good to eat, and may fre quently afford a meal to some unfortunate wretch who might otherwise perish amongst the ranges. The Victorian Society aro already possessed of a sufficiency of young bucks of the Angora goat, and these, by crossing with the common white go at, t p 2 n s r . e 6 r d a . m pe b r e l a: b r about 71b. o v f e fi ry ne fi w ne im oo a i n , wo a r l th about and in the opinion of Australian naturalists there will soon be nothing to prevent every Australian cottager having, instead of the common goat, a bd loios beautiful, rh.edir hine English Victoria,graceful, thrushw and herei s valuable permanentlyre a e breed anim al fia t is e e a s h i t i and it would seem frequently,d • during the long sum mer season.

But whether the colonists arettobo congratulated on this fact is a point et! wahir h havenoeuys begin to entertain doubts, as the cod is fish, and they have been hoping to stock their rivers with more valuable kinds, an d are expecting the arrival of salmon.
