A quieter tone pervades the general discount market to-day, and rather lower rates are now cur rent, a favourable impression having been created by the abandonment of the loan for France. Capi talists are more eager to enter into transactions, and the mercantile community derives the advantage of being enabled to negotiate their securities at quo tations slightly under the Bank of England mini mum. The proposed dividend of the North Western Raailway Company for the past half year is at the rate 41 per cent. per annum. The bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday comprised the withdrawal of £lO,OOO in foreign gold. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon there was a decline in the rates on Vienna and Trieste. The French Loan affair is still a subject of con versation, and the idea prevails in some quarters that the contemplated advance will yet be arranged privately, as M. Fould will no doubt require assis tance in order to carry out his scheme of concession. There is still, however, an absence of positive in formation upon the subject, and it is useless to refer to the various statements circulated at the Stock Exchange and elsewhere, The tendency of the English Market has been rather more favourable owing to purchases based upon the prospect of easier money through the abandonment of the French loan. A favourable impression has also been produced by the large quantities of gold coming from Australia, but the rise has only represented* per cent., Consols being 193 for transfer, and 936 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced have improved to 93} 4 ; Ex chequer Bills, March, to 13s. and 16s. prem.; and ditto, June, to 14s. and 18s. prem. India Stock is steady at 226 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Loan at 1064 ; ditto 4 per Cent. Enfaced Paper has improved to 883 ; ditto Debentures are 99-1-; and ditto Bonds i o 23 5• to 265. prem. In the Foreign Market the dealings have been of a moderate character, and prices, in several in stances, have tended upwards.

ANOTHER NEW SPECULATIVE SITE. 2,11.01 K A CORRESPONDENT. rhThe advantages that must accrue to the towns of Wool , Gre enw i c h , D eptford, and surrounding neighbourhood 3' the proposed removal of St. Thomas's Hospital from its Present position to that of a more suitable site at Lewisham, c annot be too highly estimated, whether in a social or a 4tomercial point of view. I:l3The site in question is one of the most stately in the 111 - of London, and the district of Lewisham is prover hasDialaf3 the healthiest in this great metropolis. The estate hi gravelly a gravelly soil, and is situate about 60 feet above the gll road, on the apex of a hill, contiguous to 4 that of Blackheath, and commanding lovely scenery; the air, light and bracing, 1. is of the p ures t, an d free °°l t he smoke of London or neiing facto _le 8 ) and w ill tend materially to the rapid ghbour restoration of the wolvalescent patients. ,_AD- o ther gre a t d es i deratum is that the site offered will ' l ,tve th e a d vantage of a siding, or branch line, of railway tomre, t he contempl a t e d new railway to Tonbridge, about De con s ru3ted by the South Eastern Railway Company, a " to pass th rough a portion of this estate ; s. that for th e retneral convenience of I the public it will be equally advan ,geons, or p er h aps more so to the patients, than any new 41to contiguous to its present position. T he supposition that the removal of the institution at a dista nce requiring only 12 minutes by rail from London :"ridge would be inconvenient to the public is erroneous, e el/ 1 g that hundreds of cases occur where the patients to '3t. Thomas's Hospital come from the districts of Woolwich 1111 d Deptford, &c., and not from the neighbourhood of ofithwark—but from all parts of London—north, south, east, and west, wherever the invalid may reside or the governor's interest for an order of admission be available— and as for accidents, they do not necessarily occur in the ne ighbourhood of a hospital for the convenience of admix. /lion therein. The Charing Cross extension line will shortly 13 , e °Pen t) Lewi s h am , w h ere p a ti en t s can b e conveyed in about 15 mi nu t es t o L ew i s h am, l ess ti me t h an now occupied 11, coming from westward to London-bridge; and it is 'lnit l e probable th a t th e d emand for admission into this tara hospital would be greatly in excess over ,that e t' its present applicants, seeing that the time re quired f or the recovery of the patient would as a rule he much less than now necessary, and the hospital conse quently rendered capable of receiving, and administering 115 en increased number of patients. further advantage is that the schools would be better at tended, and the morals of the students far advanced, 13 3' being withdrawn from the vice of a London life. There le ample room on the estate for the erection of a suitable 4 % l n iege, as also a sanatorium, with p ar k and pleasure gar he p ar i s h o f L ew i s h am i s remarkably low rated, and the ate has the advantage of a main sewer, together with dat er an d gas, an d every requ i site for an esta blishment of 14 Character. I ,, T he price of the land, which is freehold, w il l not exceed -4 ' 2 ° o per acre, and it is computed that this l an d could be 15111'ahased and the required buildings erected at a cost not ,„ ell exceeding that required for the land alone i n t h e qeighbourhood of London. Th e Pop Alation is rapidly increasing in Blackheath, N ew Cross, Greenwich, Deptford, Lewisham,. &c., " 4 in 20 will surrounded by a district almost Years hence be &ea tnerou s as that of Southwark. The removal m ov a a t l er o i f al S i t y . °111 "'s Hospital from its present site does no etiven• district, seeing that the ience that locality or . tib it ! patiolt a are not necessarily inhabitants of the Hospital,Ho sp i Hospital (oppositeletnd that the institution known as ar gent to it) will remain, and always be open to receive_ Ta_c:ues that might otherwise have been taken to St. 6 Hospital, NA -TV regret to an itt 4 a , 11 l OP Sin T.

Sharel Railways. ng Business done FALL OF SEVERAL HOUSES, AND GREAT LOSS OF LIFE—THIS DAY. This morning, about half-past ten o'clock, several new houses about being built in the Amherst-road, Hackney, only a few yards distant from tha Hackey-road railway station, suddenly fell in with a fearful crash. As nearly as could be ascertained, tfie following is an authentic list of the sufferers : John Fuller, aged 60, died on his way to the German Hospital. Jacob Ketteridge, killed on the spot—impaled through the body by a joist of timber. George Rathbone, a boy—killed on the spot. INJTTRED. Taken to the German Hospital— Thomas Sherman, aged 17, not expected to re cover, son of the road surveyor. Charles Mann, seriously. John Clarke, do. William Abel, broken leg. Thomas Bayley, seriously. Joseph May, slightly. Henry Walding, fractured arm. Another man, with arm fractured, taken to the German Hospital; name unknown. There were 30 men engaged on the building at the time of the accident. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, FEB. 11.—Cotton Goods.— There is very little change in the cloth-market since last Tuesday. The prices of cloth are nominally dearer, but business is on a small, almost trifling, scale, for India and most ether markets. The home trade is still suffering, and is very flat, but rather more business is reported in printing cloths. There have been some offers for India cloths, but at prices which could not lead to business. Letters and tele grams from India speak of lower prices and large stocks, but up to the date of these accounts news had not reached there of the amicable settlement of the A merican question. In yarns there has been con siderably more business done to-day, and prices are about id per lb. higher than last Tuesday. There has been an increase of demand for2O's and 30's water twist for Germany at the advance abovementioned. The business done altogether has been rather large, and at last week's prices much heavier sales could have been effected. At the advance there has been some fair sales for India, the Mediterranean, and home trade, as well as Germany, The strengthening tendency of prices checks business, but not to the same extent in yarns as in cloths. Manufacturers manifest no anxiety to sell at the present inadequate rates, and show much firmness. We regret to hear that two manufacturers north of this are announced this morning as having stopped payment, and almost every market-day brings accounts of factories being closed in various parts of this district, or about to close immediately they have used up present stocks of cotton. The distress among the operatives is beginning to show itself more and more through the returns of application for relief from poor -rates. Last week the number of persons returned as having received relief was 8,002, against 7,200 in the pre vious return for the township of Manchester. In the Charlton Union (including a large and populous district of the city of Manchester) during the week ending Feb, 1, 2,532 persons were relieved, and last week 2,255. At Blackburn last week 7,331 persons received out-door relief, against 6,750 the previous week. A soup kitchen has also been opened there, which distributes 2,500 quarts per day. In Man chester,where the closing of mills has not progressed to so great an extent as in other parts of the dis trict, there is some improvement this week; the number of hands totally out of employment is 6,532 against 7,197 last week. On short time this week there are 14,306 against 15,575 last week; and the number working full time is 26,643 against 24,677 last week. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of the cloth market :—" With the exception of certain descriptions of printing cloths, in 'which there is more doing at somewhat better prices, the market is without change since Tuesday last. For nearly all other kinds the demand continues on the smallest possible scale ; but as a rule there is no anxiety on the part of manufacturers to sell, and prices are we supported °" LEEDS, 11th.—Fora Tuesday's market there has been a fair attendance of buyers in the cloth halls this morning, and the market was cheerful in tone. The amount of business done was not large, and was confined chiefly to fabrics for spring wear, in cluding Meltons and other low and medium priced articles. The reports as to the general condition of the manufacturers in the surrounding district show that there is part short-time working, but not more than there was a month ago. The state of American affairs is inducing considerable caution, which in some degree extends to the Canadian trade, The home trade is steady, but far from being brisk. There is nothing new to notice in the wool trade; but prices rule much the same as last month. ROCHDALE, 1 0th.—There has been a moderate market for flannel and wool to-clay ; bnt the parcels purchased were generally for immediate require ments, and were small. There is a little slackness in the trade generally, the demand whether forhome or exportation being flat. The Yorkshire goods' trade has shown a trifling improvement. Prices, those of goods as well as those of wools, keep I steady. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock. THE NAVY. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS. ...no iron screw frigate Defence, 18, Captain Powell, C. 8,, got up steam at Chatham yesterday morning, with the intention of getting under way and proceeding to the Nore. The protracted de• lays, however, which have hitherto attended the completion of this vessel again prevented her leav ing, as, although everything was yesterday ready for her quitting her moorings at Folly Point, it was found that her screw could not be got to work in the " banjo." In the afterrthon one of the divers was sent down to examine the cause of the obstruc tion, but, although the bottom was minutely exa mined, it could not be ascertained. It appears likely, therefore, that should all further attempts to get the screw into working order fail, the Defence will have to be again docked for the defects to be made good. There appears to be little doubt that the sternpost must have became injured during the time the Defence was lying moored to the sheer hulk in Chatham harbour, when she grounded at every spring tido, and was subjected to very severe strains, although at the time it was believed that no injury had been caused. Preparations were yesterday commenced at Chatham dockyard for the construction of a lofty and commodious shed adjoining No. 7 slip, on which will be erected the whole of the machinery required to be used in preparing, shaping, and fitting the enormous slabs of iron intended to cover the steam frigate Royal Oak, 51, 1,000-horse power, which will have her sides encased from stem to stern. So anxious are the Admiralty to have the Royal Oak completed by as early a date as it is possible to be accomplished that an extra number of shipwrights and other operatives have been placed upon her, making the number of workmen now at work on her about 470. In addition to these, however, about 50 smiths are constantly employed in the smithery preparing the iron girders which bind together the timbers, knees, and other portions of the iron work, as well as about 50 sawyers and 40 joiners, thus swelling the total number of hands emploped on this iron - cased frigate to 600 cf all trades. Three of the steam saws are also constantly employed in preparing the timber for the ship. The whole of the outsideplank ing is now worked, and in readiness to receive the armour plates—and a considerable portion of the inside planking is also completed. The main and lower deck beams are also fixed ; the upper deck beam will be of iron, and these are now being pre pared at the Butterley Ironworks, Derbyshire. The Royal Oak will not be covered with armour plates of an uniform thickness, as was at first intended. Her broadside plates, on both sides, will be 41 inches thick, those at the stem and stern being 3 inches in thickness, tapering to 2 inches at the least exposed parts. The shed which is to be erected adjoining the slip on which the Royal Oak is building is to be sufficiently large to contain the whole of the machinery required in building three other vessels of the same description, the Admiralty having decided on constructing two additional stone slips at the eastern end of the dockyard, for building iron-plated vessels of the Royal Oak class. In'addition to these the line-of-battle screw'steamer Bulwark, 91 guns, standing OR the No. 5 slip, where she is about two-thirds finished, is to be altered to a 51-gun iron-clad frigate immediately after the Royal Oak is out of hand. The War Department transport Gorilla, Mr, Long master, having shipped a complete battery of 12 100-pounder Armstrongs, and 2 20 -pounder Arinstrongs, with sights, screws, carriages, &c., sailed from Chatham yesterday, for Sheerness, where the guns will be landed, and mounted on the fortifications commanding the entrance to the Medway. A quantity of the Armstrong shot and shell was also shipped in the same transport for the supply of the guns. Tsir. John White, of the Medina Dock, Cowes, Isle of Wight, has received an order from the Ad miralty for the construction of 20 lifeboats, cutters, and gigs, their lordships having determined that every ship serving on the West Coast of Africa shall in future be supplied with one of each descrip tion. The cutters will be capable of carrying a gun and ammunition in addition to their ordinary crew, and will possess buoyancy sufficient to prevent the hull of the boat, with its gun, ammunition, and crew, from sinking in the event of its being struck by shot, or stove from any other cause. Her Ma jesty's yachts are all supplied with the same de. scription of boat, as are also all the vessels of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's fleet. Her Majesty's ship Hero, when conveying his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to Canada, was also supplied with one of them. An order has also been given by the Board to Mr. White to furnish three additional boats, for the use of the Government pilots at Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Sheerness, when their duties call them afloat. This order has been given in consequence of the late fatal accident at Spithead, when, by the capsizing of an ordinary gig in rough weather, Mr. Jones, jun., Government pilot, and three men were drowned. It is said to be under the consideration of the Admiralty to supply her Majesty's ships on the East Coast of Africa and the Cape stations with the lifeboats, as well as those on the West Coast. The Emerald, screw frigate, Capt. A. Cumming, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the Westward. Rear-Admiral of the Bale Augustus C. Kuper, C. 8., hoisted his flag, as the successor of Sir James Hope on the East India and China station, yester day at Portsmouth, on board the Euryalus screw frigate, and afterwards proceeded on short leave of absence.

Gordon, who mend of the Amphion, screw frigate, on the Medi terranean station, vice Birch, invalided, will pro ceed to take the command of his ship probably in her Majesty's ship Himalaya. The Glasgow screw frigate, recently launched at Portsmouth, and fitted with engines of 600-horse power nominal, by Messrs. Ravenhill, Selkeld, and Co., got up steam in the steam basin to test her ma chinery for the first time. The Glasgow is one of the latest and noblest specimens of our wooden frigates. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain George H. Seymour, C. 8., sailed from BelgiumtoEngland for with A n t - werp.

JOSEPH Goss (or WOLVERHAMPTON) AND WILLIAM RYALL (OF BIRMINGHAM), FOR £lOO A-SlDE.—These members of the P.R. contended for £5O a-side on Tuesday, the 24th of September, last year, the meeting taking place in the home district, when Goss proved the winner in 37 rounds, fought in two hours and 50 minutes. This was a hard fought affair, both men acquitting themselves in a man ner which gave satisfaction to their friends. Notwithstand ing Ryall had on this occasion to cry " Hold I enough," yet his backers considered there were circumstances attend ing that encounter that placed him under considerable dis advantage, and that with better care and more rigid train ing he would be in a more favourable position to contend successfully; and, as the Brum was anxious to retrieve his lost laurels, the match which took place yesterday was made. As on the first occasion, the belligerents were not , onfined to weight; but in this the advantage materially preponderated in favour of Ryall, who, when ho last scaled, was stated to pull down 11st 41b, although there can be little doubt he was not far short of being I2st when he en tered the ring. Goss weighed, on Saturday last, lOst 101 b, and in height is about sft 3 ; so the Brum, in addition to weight, had here again the advantage, and unquestionably, when in the ring, looked a formidable antagonist. The men agreed to contend in the home circuit, and Ryall, with his Birmingham friends, attended by Joe Wareham, his trainer, arrived in the metropolis on Monday. Yestermorn, before the break of day, all who intended to be there were up and on the wing. When the selected spot had been gained, the commissary lost no time in making the needful preparation ; and all being ready, the combatants entered the lists, Goss being the first to do so. Ryall had for his seconds Joo Wareham and Bob Travers (the black), while a couple of noted retired members of the ring went in with Goss. The odds were 2to I on Goss, who, like his antagonist, was in admirable fettle. At 10 o'clock the men were left at the scratch to commence the battle. The attitude of each was remarkably good, though the superiority of size on the part of Ryall was striking. There was a good deal of caution exhibited on the part of both, but at length Ryall got home so effectively with his right on the left cheek as to gain the first of the three events, and thus, to the amazement of Goss's friends, stole upon his man in a manner by no means anticipated. The first bout lasted eight minutes. There was again much of cau tious manoauvring, Goss, in the manner which he shifted in all parts of the ring, displaying in a marked manner lightness and rapidity of action. Ryan followed his manup, but, from the caution displayed, the battle did not by any means exhibit the expected features. Indeed, there was little of that severe work which, judging from their preced ing performance, was anticipated. In I his manner 12 rounds were fought, but, while the 13th was in progress, the police made their appearance, and a move became inevitable, the combatants, up to this enforced suspension of hostilities, having fought one hour and 28 minutes. When they left the ring there did not appear much mischief done, although Goss afterwards complained of having, in a fall, hurt his right shoulder at the commencement, and owing to this ac. cident his friends attribute his subsequently fighting i n a style so different to what was anticipated. With all on er h ad possible despatch another ring was again formed, butnoe o the men got to work than the rural constabular y made their appearance, with the aheuts3uo minutes alresnit. pastF ortwtheee,theilredektitmhee the ring was formed , and belligerents commenced operations, but did not tip/ ear at all in a hurry to go in with a will. From the 20th round, however, Goss changed his tactics and fought in some thing like his old style, and his friends fully expected to see him bring the battle to a speedy termination. In the 27th round Goss got home his right with force on the body, and Ryall, from the effects of these visitations, appeared in a distressed condition. Goss, however, was at this critical moment not able to follow up his advantage, and owing to this the Brum was enabled to recover. Both men now re sumed the old tactics of out-fighting, and round after round became wearying and resultless. At length, in the 37th and last round, as the men stood looking at each other, the referee told them they must either fight or draw, and as neither considered themselves able to finish, they agreed to shake hands, and thus settle matters. The battle, in the last ring, occupied one hour and fifty minutes, so that three hours and eighteen minutes were consumed in the whole—the last round occupying fifty minutes. IHE il-R My. mmissioned officers and men of the no n-co Engineers now attached to the Royal En- Ro T y h a e l Chatham, for the purpose of En gineer acquiring a complete knowledge of fortification and and mining, will embark for India during the ensuing month. Shortly afterwards a force of establishment, 600 men, volunteers from the various infantry re giments, or recruits from Scotland and the me tropolis, will arrive at head-quarters Chatham, to go through a course of training as engineers to qualify them for service in India.

A man named Patrick Connell, residing in a back house in Ellen•street, New-town, Cardiff, together with his wife and two children, were found dead in their beds. It appears that on Sunday night, the weather being exceedingly cold, and there being no fireplace in their sleeping apartment, they kindled a quantity of coal in a tin pitcher, which they placed in the room before they went to bed. On Monday morning they were discovered dead in their bed by some of the neighbours, and medical aid was procured,but no sign of life was appa rent in either case. The man was 40 years old, and his wife 2,5 years, the daughter 21 years, and an infant boy only 10 days old. An inquest was held on Monday even ing, before Mr. R. L. Reece, the coroner of the county,and a verdict of "Died by suffocation by inhaling carbonic acid gas" was returned. _ _ It may be remembered that in the trial of Mires for swindling and abuse of confidence, a good deal was said of a sum of 1,575,000 fr. allowed to M. de Pontalba for services rendered. The liquida tors of the Caisse des Chemins de Fer instituted an action against that person to recover the amount, but as the case was brought before the Chamber of Commerce, the defendant pleaded that the court was not competent to entertain the suit. Tho court, however, decided that it was, and condemned the defendant by de fault to pay the sum claimed. He appealed to the Impe rial Court, still insisting that the Chamber of Commerce was incompetent. Pleadings of considerable length were heard, and judgment was given yesterday, the court decid ing in favour of the defendant, and ordering the parties, if they chose to plead further, to take the suit before the civil tribunal. THE YELYERTON CASE.—The exceptions taken to the charge of Chief Justice Monahan by counsel for the defendant at the late celebrated trial of Thelwall v. Yelve r ton have been l o d ge d i n the Common Pleas Office, Dublin. The arguments therefore will take place next term. CORN EXCHANGE. The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market were very moderate. All diy parcels were taken off steadily at full currencies; otherwise, the trade ruled heavy, at about previous quotations. In foreign wheat—the supply of which was tolerably ex tensive—a fair business was transacted, and prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, on former terms. The demand for barley was steady, and the quotations were well maintained. Malt was a dull inquiry, yet no further change took place in prices.

(Before Sir John Romily.) COVERDALE V. COURE. His Honour said---The question is whether under the will the testator, who gave £3,000 to his daughter, Elizabeth Slack, during her life, afterwards to her children, is dimi nished from £3,000 to 2,000 bytho codicil. The codicil does not affect the real estate, but it is perfectly good, so far as it disposes of the personal estates. My opinion on the proper construction of the will is, that it does reduce it to £2OOO. His Honour was of opinion that, by the codicil, there was no conversion of the real and personal estate of the testator, and that the legacy of £3,000 given by the will was reduced to £2,000 by the codicil, and made a declaration to that effect, with costs out of the estates. 100/ COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) THWAITES V. TIMAITES. The hearing of this case was resumed this morning. Mr. Thwaites, in reply to Mr, Kerslake, said he was in duced to call in Dr. Davis to see his wife with respect to the state of her mind, in consequence of a remark made by her brother, living in London. Cross-examined by Dr. Twiss—l recollect Mrs. Thwaites returning from a visit to her friends in London in July, 1856. She remained away ten weeks, and it was not until repeatedly urged that she returned home, Mr. Keddle never said it would be unsafe for her to return to him. I recollect having a struggle with Mrs. Thwaites about a desk. It occurred in the nursery. I can't remember whether we dined together that day. It was not in the dining room the struggle took place. I had once before a similar struggle for the desk. Mrs. Thwaites had insulted me about some letters. On one of the occasions it might have been in the dining room. 1 never took possession of the desk and letter she was writing at the time. I tried to do so, but could not. I will swear I did not see the letter, neither did I ascertain it was written to her sister. I don't recollect whether it was after or before the struggle that I gave my wife my watch, purse, and pocketbook. I gave them to her as I was tired of life. She gave them back, but she did not utter words of consolation at the time. I recollect taking out my wife's teeth. I don't recollect the number. Mrs. Thwaites when I married ,her did not have fine teeth. The teeth I made for her were fine looking. I did not prefer looking at the artificial teeth I made for my wife to the natural ones. In the last lot taken out b y me, Mr. Lens rmHaet M we r e s. e Th eu w r aigetees n ' ' desire. I off ere d and attended to administer was ister p o r h e l s o e r n of t o . to make my w if e a , c bone piece." It is very offensive if the person using it is not cleanly. It is used merely for a temporary purpose. I took out six teeth at this sitting The diamond ring worn by Mrs. Thwaites before her father's death was purchased out of my own p oc k et, and 'la out of the £36 allowed her for dress. It wa s a f ter the quarrel about the diamond ring that Mrs. Thw a it es began to take her meals in the nursery. When she came to take her meals in the dining-room, I said I coulda take mine in their o up stairs. house. I I }sad d I never have a spoken discovered h ofwe told Mrs.ve i ry l b Thwaites everybody havinghvvait I had a subtl e poison es practising phot ograp h y. 1 never told her it was instantaneous in its effects, and was not discoverable after death. I have heard Dade use opprobrious names to my wife, but then it was in reply fb those used by her. I never heard her call her " a long liar" and ag , bully." I have heard Mrs. Thwaites call Hannah Dade my kept mistress. I never used harsh expressions towards my wife before the servants. In 1860 1 was engaged in scientific pursuits, so I was irregular in the hours I returned home in the evening. I cannot tell the time I returned the night before Mrs. Thwaites left me. There is no circumstance that fixes the date on my mind. I recollect one of the servants telling Mrs. Thwaites that she was Damiani's kept mistress. I reproved my servants generally for using such language. I never accused Mrs. Thwaites of being intimate with officers and gentle men in Hyde-park before marriage. I had complained of her speaking to an officer that she did not know, and she desisted. I don't think I ever referred to the subject after marriage. I did not dismiss Hannah Dade, because she was useful to me in my profession. The case was proceeding when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, —(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. - - CHARGE OF MANSLAITGIITER. AGAINST AN EATING ROUSE KEEPER.—Henry Godden, of 72, Munster-street, Regent's-park, eating .house keeper, was charged with being drunk, and causing the death of a female, at present unknown, by knocking her down with a pony and cart, in Regent -street. Mr. Edward James, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner, and Inspector Garforth, of the E Division, attended to watch the case. It appears that between eight and nine last night the pri soner was driving his pony and cart down Langham-place towards the Regent's Park, and when near Mortimer-street he saw something in his way and pulled up his pony very sharply, and in doing so overturned the pony, at the time going at the rate of six miles an hour. The prisoner was himself thrown out, and his arm on his being raised was found to be broken. The pony, on getting on its legs again, started off and knocked down the poor woman, who was crossing Mortimer-street. She was immediately picked up and taken to the Middlesex Hospital, but expired on the way. The prisoner was remanded. A CANDIDATE FOR SUICIDE.—A respectable looking young female named Eliza Curtis, was charged as follows : A young man said he was passing the Serpentine last night about 9 o'clock, when he saw the young woman loitering about the bridge, and sobbing. He watched her, and believing from her violent manner that she was going to commit suicide, he watched her, and then spoke to a constable, who, on s'eaking to her, was told by her the* she was going to throw herself in the water. A constable said the young woman had been drinking, and told him she was unhappy and intended to drown herself. Prisoner said she was unhappy, but not tipsy. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded her for a week, that she might, by reflection, become in a better state of mind. TILE TRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mine prem., and the short exchange on London is 25f The per £1 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 2-10ths per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425} per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.58 per £1 sterling, Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 2-lOths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' eight is 113 to 114 per Cent., and the premium on gold is about Si per cent. At these rates the importation of gold from the United States would leave a trifling profit. POLITICAL PRISONERS.—Above the lighthouse is the castle of Belver, which is the state prison. Here, as elsewhere, we found prisoners "of opinion" in irons. Twenty-five poor wretched people of that description were moved here from Ceuta about a fortnight ago, and are, as elsewhere, "fort mal traits." Amongst them is a former bishop, and a major -general in the Spanish army, who are chained together, and forced to sweep the court of the castle ; and, with an infamous anxiety to increase their misery, they are obliged to perform this duty with short handled brooms in order to oblige them in this hot climate to stoop, and consequently double their labours. This, of course, is the act of the Governor, as the length of the brooms as the bishop an d t o t aste the comforts broom handles certainly was not sent fr om Ceuta. One consolation is, that this cruel system of ar bi trary power brings with it a system of perfect equality, and " S. E. Il country, Capitan-General" is just as likely in the co urse of the revo lutions which the threaten unhappyro the general who are now in the enjoyment: of them. —From of short-handledthis bm the Duke of Buckingham's Private Diary. THE TAKING OF GIBRALTAR... 4 remembered how often the present King of France, Charles X., had told my father and me the story of his being summoned to meet almost all the Catholic princes of Christendom, and all the flower of the French and Spanish armies, as to a party of pleasure, to see the " taking of Gibraltar," where various amusements, and bull-fights, and balls were pro vided to while away each day of anxious expectation when he propitious morning at last arose which was again to plant the flag of Spain upon the walls of Gibraltar. So certain did they consider themselves of conquest, that dinner and a ball were prepared at Algesiras for General Elliot and his officers when made prisoners. At length the Spanish batteries moved down, constructed with all the care that science could bestow and art invent. The Academic Francaise contributed its labours to improve upon these of destruction—and mighty eng ines they moved down, the i monuments of the combined science as well as anger of Europe, united against this one object so near to the vanity, so dear to the interests, of the parties engaged in the at ' tempt. The princes witnessed the scene from the first parallel, and the surrounding hills were c rowded with the population of the country, fancying even the reality of the visionary existence of the Queen of Spain in her chair, who had vowed to remain there until she saw the standard of Spain float upon the walls of the fortress she called her own. In a few hours all was dust and ashes, and the few survivors amongst the assailants owed their lives to British generosityand humanity.—.
