MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is rather less inquiry for discount accom modation to-day, and the rates continue to range as low as 21 per cent. for the best bills. A sum of £25,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday. No material alteration was perceptible in the continental exchanges yesterday afternoon. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £1,087,000, and the exports £1,038,600. The second series of public sales of colonial wool, which commenced on the 2d May, were concluded yesterday. The quantity offered amounted to about 95,749 bales. There was a large attendance of both home and foreign dealers, and a considerable quantity was taken on foreign account. Prices, however exhibited a downward tendency, the decline being ld to lid per lb. on good and fine descriptions, and 2d to 21d per lb. on inferior qualities, compared vith those realised at the February and March auctions. The report of the Queen's Hotel Company, Upper Norwood, states that the profits during the year were £5,476, from which £3,041 is to be set aside for a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent., which will leave £2,435 to be carried forward. The traffic receipts of the South Austrian, Lom bardo-Venetian, and Central of Italy Railway for the week ending the 27th inst. amounted to £57,162 against £51,253 at the corresponding period of last year. A moderate amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were steadily supported. The sales were about 8,000 bales. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY . Two O'CLOCK.

Hoffman, arrived here to-day from Southampton, and having taken on board the usual monthly mails for Ascension, St. Helena, and the Cape, proceeded on her voyage in the afternoon. She takes out also the usual general cargo and 40 passengers. , SALMON FISHING ON TH E TYNE.--One of tne chief impediments to the development of salmon breeding on the Tyne has been the dam at Bywell, the property of Mr. W. B. Beaumont, M.P. It was proposed to remedy the matter by the erection of a weir ladder, but the Fishery Commissioners, who have insrected the place, recommended the total removal of the obstruction, and Mr. Beaumont has in the most handsome manner intimated his intention to reply with their request. We are requested to state that the Bishop of London will not hold his usual weekly levee at London House, St. James's-square, on Tuesday next, the 10th inst., his lordship being engaged throughout the week at Pulliam Palace with candidates for his general ordination on Trinity Sunday, THE CROPS IN NORTH NOTTINHAMSHIRE.—The wheat crop, especially on the clay lands, is most promising. On some of the sands the wire worm and grub prevail, but not to such an extent as seriously to lessen the general yield. Most of the crop has a highly promising appearance, and much of it is fast preparing to shoot, Both the late and the early sown barleys have progressed in a highly satisfactory manner, and the yield promises to be above the average. Up to the present time also the bean and the pea crops are all that can be desired. They have hitherto escaped all kinds of filth, :and are fast approaching that cri tical time, the blooming season, which almost always gives the turn either for weal or for woe to this part of our agri cultural produce. During the present season immense breadths have been sown with potatoes, principally of the early or second early kinds. These have mostly come up well, and manifest no appearance of lurking disease. The crops o f grass and seeds are unsurpassably goo d . DEMOL ITION AN BURNING OP SIR TON HOUSE, RkTROATE e e ancient fortalice, beensituat titl th situated hard by the "Auld Kirkyar d" o This tßa . thgate, has weeks past, by order of its presZt ra p e ro o - f d emo lition for some Taylor, who, it is rumoured , is ab ou t pro prietor, Capt. Hart to build a new house. On Wednesday night last some boys had lighted a fire in the lower part o f the house, and the chimney, being full of soot, went on fire. The nes ts built in a hole tames ignited some crows' at the top of the chimney, which again communicat ing with the sarking, a considerable portion of the to p tat was burned. The damage done di scove red was comparatively in time, it trifling, but had the fire not been might have be en ser i ous enough, as Bailie Johnstone, factor on the estate, and a builder and farmer in at h ga te, had a large q uant i ty of oats in the second fl oor, which, after much in exertion, was sa ve d. Thi s o ld h us e had an existence da new the time of B ruce. It was thoroughly repa i re d an wing added i n t h e year 1599 by one Alexan d er Sh a rp, the then proprietor, and with whom the noted Archbishop Sharp of t. harles the Second's time was somehow connected. The house might have stood for ages to come, having been built very strongly, the ground floor consisting of three massive arches, and the walls being from four to six feet thick.—Scotsman. Puss IN A NEW CHARACTER.—A Kirkcaldy correspondent sends us the following :—" An interesting illustration of the curiosities of natural history occurred the other day at h irkcaldy. A duck's egg, by some mistake, had been put among the eggs which a hen was at the time hat ching. The chickens, however, broke their shells five tor six a days before the duckling, and no sooner had the alien ra a e its appearance than they flew at it.

This was an action to recover for some goods supplied to a lady, who had passed herself as the wife of the defendant. Mr. Buchanan for the plaintiff said that the lady had called herself Mrs. Pollak, and he should be able to prove that she took lodgings and that the defendant assisted her with her luggage and stayed all night. (Laughter). When application was made to defendant, he said he would pay if Miss -, of -, did not, and he subsequently made a further promise. His Honour—lt is not in writing. Can you show that she got the clothes from plaintiff as Mrs. Pollak in the knowledge and presence of defendant. Mr. Buchanan—No, I cannot. His Honour—Ycu see, even if she were his wife:defen dant might be able to show that he supplied her with the necessary clothes. Mr. Buchanan—Will Mr. Sidney agree that she shall be taken as the wife.

ROBBERY OF TAB FRENCH COMMISSIONER OF THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBTION.—George Bedford, a la bourer, of 10, Nassau-street, Middlesex Hospital, and Frederick Hodges, potman at the Hoop and Toy, Cromwell road, Brompton, were charged with stealing a hoisting jack, the property of the French Commissioner at the In ternal Exhibition. Police-constable Hat vey, 121 X (on duty at the Inter national Exhibition), said that last night between 11 and 12 o'clock he received information that a lifting-jack used to raise heavy pieces of timber had been stolen. :He went to the Hoop and Toy and asked him what he had in the shed. He replied, " Nothing at all." Witness ob served that there was a jack there, and asked him who had brought it. He said he did not know. Witness made further inquiries, and was subsequently induced to take Bedford into custody. He (Bedford) on being apprehended, stated that he had borrowed it of a person at the hotel of the French Commissioners. A person from the hotel, who was stated to have lent the jack, denied having done so, and remarked that he did not know the prisoner. The prisoner (Bedford) said that he must have misunder stood the witness, who spoke to him in French. A witness named Carpenter proved having seen the pri soners in company with each other in the shed or coach house, and put the jack in a corner. Pietro Medon, foreman to the Imperial Commissioners of the French Department, stated that the jack was left in his custody by an exhibitor. It was deposited at the French Hotel. Harvey, the constable, deposed that he thought he should be able at the next examination to produce a person to whom Hodges offered the jack for sale. The prisoners were remanded to Wednesday. ALLEGED ABDUCTION. An application was made on Tuesday last to the Brighton bench by a labourer, named Coe, for magisterial advice, under the following extraor dinary circumstances :—lt appeared from the state ment of the applicant that his daughter, a girl of - - seventeen, had been living at Brighton for some months in the service of Mrs. Tremenheere, _ _ lady who removed from this neighbourhood about two years since. At the beginning of last week week Mrs. Coe, the girl's mother, received a let ter from her daughter, informing her that she 1..1 beard if a situation in a Roman Catholic family, and begged her mother's consent to an engagement. Mrs. Cde immediately replied, and expressed her dissent from the proposal. An other letter from the daughter, received on Satur day, informed her parents that she had entered upon the duties of her new situation. The receipt of this news induced the father to go to Brighton on Monday, with a view to take his daughter home. He told her his intention, and after shaking hands with her father, the girl ex pressed her willingness to accompany him. At this juncture the mistress of the house appeared, and bade him leave the area door and go to the front one. Here he waited for about a quarter of an hour, and was then informed by the mistress that his daughter was not willing to return with him, another interview with him being then re fused. The girl's father then went to the Inspector of Police, who told Coe he dare not interfere. The father then returned to Dorking, and on the follow ing morning started again for Brighton, this time accompanied by his wife. Both parents went to the house visited the day before by the father. On this occasion the latter was denied admission, but the mother obtained an interview with the girl's mistress ; a Roman Ca tholic priest, formerly a curate in the neighbour hood of Dorking, and a young gentleman being also present. Mrs. Coe was assured that her daughter was not there, that they did not know where she was, and that she had left the house frightened because her father had been to fetch her. The priest inquired why she wished to take her daughter home, and on the mother's replying be cause she did not wish her to become a Roman Catholic, he angrily retorted that she was old enough to ohoose her own religion, and added, "You can't take her, she is not here." The magistrates, on hearing this statement, directed an inspector to accompany the girl's parents to the house of the mistress. This lady repeated to the officer that she was ignorant of the girl's where - abouts, and was not :aware when she left the - house. The inspector desired to see the other servants, and this, although at first refused, was afterwards consented to. The domestics, like their mistresses, denied all knowledge as to where the girl then was. Mrs. Coe thereupon begged permis sion to take away her daughter's clothes, and the request being acquiesced in, both persons returned to Dorking on the same evening. A letter from the Brighton Chief Constable was received by the girl's friends on Thursday morning, informing them that up to the date of writing no trace of their daughter had been discovered. The whole affair is enveloped in mystery, the only key to its solution being that the missing young female may be ensconced in a neighbouring convent, and such a supposition is favoured by her having paid, while in her previous situation, several visits to a Roman Catholic Chapel not far distant.— West Surrey Times. AFFRAY 'WITH POACHERS.—On Thursday morn. jag, the sth inst., a desperate poaching affray took place in the preserves of Mr. J. T. Edge, at Strelley, about three miles from Nottingham. Between 2 and 3 o'clock several keepers belonging to Mr. Edge were out watching, and, having heard several shots fired, they concealed themselves behind some trees, and almost immediately two poachers came up. The keepers attempted to capture the wen, but a violent res:s n tan was offered, and one of which struck a the poachers com- B ou g ld t theraetn tookclose place, the keepers being m determ i n ed to capture the poachers as speedily as possible . Th e struggle las ted some time, and th e fi g ht was a very en c e h d e n t h d r . t o o w . l i nd b severe one, both p oachers and keepers suffering consider- aag boulder h able injuries. Eventually the superior force of the keepers prevailed, and the men were apprehended and conveyed to the Nottingham county gaol. Their names are John Howard and James Swincoe. They had guns in their possession when taken into custody. During the day they were taken before the county magistrates and remanded until to -day. CAPTURE OF THE BERMUDA AND CIRCASSIAN. KEY WEST, May 8. The arrival of the Mercedita at this port, a few days since, brings us the gratifying intelligence of the capture by her of the English-Confederate steamer Bermuda to the northward of Bahama Banks. The Bermuda had a full cargo of arms and munitions of war. Her manifest, which occupied some four pages of foolscap paper, I saw a copy of, and the quantity on board a vessel of her tonnage is really surprising. Besides pistols and cutlasses in any quantity, there were a number of 61 and it-- inch rifled guns, together with several complete field batteries. Then, again there were nearly 50,0001 b. of powder in barrels, besides cases upon cases of cartridges, fixed ammunition, and shells. Among the papers found on board the Bermuda was a complete code of night signals and sailing directions for entering the harbour of Charleston, both by way of Maffit's and the main ship channel ; also orders from parties in the South for goods to be purchased for them by the captain of the Bermuda, which goods are now, no doubt, on board the vessel. It is a most fortunate occurrence that the cargo of the Bermuda has been prevented from reaching Dixie. It would have been invaluable to Rebeldom in their present dilapidated condition, and is worth to ns at least 1,000,000 dols. Too much credit cannot be awarded to Commander Stellwagen and the officers and crew of the Mercedita for hav ing effected this capture. The Bermuda, by her register, is owned by Frazier, Trenholme, and Co., of Liverpool, a branch of the house of Frazier and Co., of Charleston, South Carolina, and her com mander is a Charlestonian. The majority of the officers and crew of the Bermuda ar3 here on board the Mercedita. What disposition is to be made of them I do not yet learn. While your correspondent was on board the Mercedita a steamer was re ported in sight to the eastward. She proved to be the Circassian, from Bordeaux, via St. Thomas's, and purporting to be bound for Haven natl. She was captured on Sunday afternoon, the 4th instant, about twenty miles to the eastward of Havannah, under the following circumstances. The Somerset, as soon as the Circassian hove in sight, ran down towards her, and, rounding to under her stern, hailed and requested her to heave to until a boat could be sent alongside. To this re quest no audible reply was received, the Circassian putting on all speed and standing on her course. Capt. English then ordered a blank carttidge to be fired towards her, but no notice was taken of it. A shot was then fired broad on her quarter; still no notice. A nine•inch shell was then thrown over her, which burst ahead of the ship ; still she would not heave to. Capt. English then ordered the cap tain of the gun to fire at her masts, which was done, and the shots cat away the slings of her foreyard. Then, and not till then, did Mr. John Bull see fit to round to and state who and what he was. As soon as she was found to be the Circassian, which vessel was known to have loaded in Europe with a cargo for Dixie, Captain English informed her cap tain that he must be taken into a United States' port to have his case adjudicated. To this the Englishman objected, and made formal protest in writing, but all to no avail. It was the intention of Captain English to send her to Boston, as ordered by the flag officer; but, as he could not do so with out disabling, his own vessel, he determined to bring her here, and did so, towing her all the distance, as the Englishman, as soon as taken, disabled the machinery, so that it could not be used. The Cir cassian is an iron steamer of about 1,500 tons, bark rigged, and a very handsome vessel. By her mani fest she is laden with tea, coffee, saltpetre, clothing, blankets, &c. ; but we are led to suppose that there are other articles on board of a different cha racter, for the vessel is very deep, drawing now 2lft. of water. The vessel, since her arrival here, has been leaking badly, and it is the general impression that her crew have in some way injured the vessel for the purpose of damaging the cargo as much as possible. Her crew are still on board. One of them, however, more communicative than the rest, stated that when the true character of the Somerset was discovered a large number of papers were thown overboard, which gives her case a very auspicious character. The captain of the Bermuda and Circassian will enable the United States' courts to ascertain how far England can violate her Majesty's proclamation of strict neutrality.—? Vern York Paper.

The Coroner (Mr. Payne) and the jury having taken their seats, Inspector Howard, of the City police, produced certain papers, which were found by Miss Sarah Saunders, sister of Mrs. Vyse, in Mrs. Vyse's pocket. Dr. Edwin Payne, of Finsbury-square, was then examined. He was called in, he said, immediately after the catastrophe. He saw Mrs. Vyse in her bedroom. She was leaning over the washhand stand, on which there were marks of blood. Having ascertained that her throat was cut, he ex amined the wound, as far as he could do so with out assistance. Mrs. Vyse was in a most excited state, and it required force to control her. About twenty minutes afterwards he dressed the wound, in conjunction with Mr. Savory. During the dressing of the wound it was mentioned in Mrs. Vyse's presence that the chi.dren were dead in the adjoining room. He (witness) said to Mrs. Vyse, supposing the children to have been poisoned, " What was it the children had ?" Mrs. Vyse replied, as well as she cou ld speak, " Battle's Vermin Powder." He had no other conversation with her bearing on the children. By a Juryman—During the greater part of the twenty minutes which he had mentioned he was absent from the room. There was another medical man. All they did was to endeavour to keep Mrs. Vy se quiet. By another Juryman—He found it impossible to dress the wound without assistance, and left for the purpose of obtaining it. Mr. Savory, assistant-surgeon at St. Bartholo mew's Hospital, deposed that on Wednesday, the 28th of May, he delivered the contents of the chil dren's stomachs to Mr. Attfield, demonstrator of practical chemistry at that hospital. Mr. John Attfield, the gentleman thus referred to, on being examined, confirmed the statement of Mr. Savory. He had, he said, since analysed the contents of both stomachs which he received, separately. By certain chemiflal operations he had obtained from the contents of the stomach of the elder child a substance which he knew would be strychnine more or less pure if strychnine had been in the stomach at all. That substance answered to all the tests of strychnine. He, therefore, said that strychnine was found in the contents of the stomach of the eldest child. He could not speak definitely as to the quantity ; it would be the residue after some strychnine had been absorbed in the system. He also examined the contents of a jar labelled " Liver of eldest," and found in them strychnine. He then gave similar testimony with regard to the stomach and liver of the youngest child. The Coroner summed up. The jury, having been absent about twelve minutes, returned, when the foreman, Mr. Morris, said it was his painful duty to announce that they had come to the following verdict : " That Annie Howard Vyse and Alice Kate Vyse came by their death through poison administered to them by their mother, Ann Cornish Vyse.' The witnesses were all bound over to appear and give evidence at the trial. A STRANGE STORY. In the Irish Court of Queen's Bench, on Thurs. day, the defendant in the case of Hamlin v. Cogan, obtained an order for a new trial. The action, which was for breach of promise of marriage, was tried at the last assizes for Mayo, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff, with £2OO damages. Plaintiff and defendant were cousins. They re sided at Ballymote, in the county of Sligo. De fendant is a farmer in comfortable circumstances. It appeared that the plaintiff, during the lifetime of her mother, went to reside in the defendant's house, where, after living some years, and after her mother's death, she gave birth, in November, 1860, to a child, of which, it was admitted, that the defendant was the father. Plaintiff alleges that both before and after the seduction the defendant made frequent pro mises to marry her. The defendant denied this. There was evidence given on the trial th tt the de fendant said to the Rev. Mr. Barrett, C.C., who besought him to marry the plaintiff, and thereby repair the wrong he had done to her, that he would "Do what was right." In January, 1861, the child was baptised, and there was evidence that at the christening the defendant declared his in tention to bring up the boy "to the bar." Sn , n eima ;„ soot, tue plaintiff tea the defen dant's house, with her child and a female servant, and, according to her statement, she in a week or so afterwards, while walking in the streets of Sligo with the servant, accidentally met the defendant, who requested her to return to his house, which she refused to do. She alleges that the defendant then said he would marry her before the registrar, and that she at his request, and accompanied by the servant, went to a house in Sligo, where a form of marriage between herself and the defendant was gone through, before a party whom she believed, on the representation of the defendant, to be Mr. Woods, the registrar of marriages. The defendant asserts that this story is a complete fabrication; and that no such ceremony of marriage ever took place. It appears that the plaintiff and the ser vant are unable to point out the house in Sligo where the alleged marriage took place, al though the servant described at the trial, with great minuteness, the appearance of the in terior of the house, and all the circumstances attend ing the ceremony. It is admitted that if the mar riage took place, the party officiating must have been some man dressed up to represent Mr. Woods, for that gentleman certainly took no part in the transaction. It was admitted by the defendant that he did meet the plaintiff in Sligo, and that she returned to his house. Plaintiff was put out of the house by the defendant after some time, and the action was then brought.—The new trial was now sought on the grounds of illegal evidence having been received at the trial, and of "surprise." RAGED' 1 THIRD EDITI R USSIA. SUN OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK. " The dispositions of the Russian Government," says a Turin letter, " with regard to the kingdoui of Italy have been lately much modified, and appear to announce the approaching recognition of the new State by the Court of St. Petersburg." The Academy Gazette of St. Petersburg states that the Emperor has ordered that those students of the University of St. Petersburg who left it in consequence of its being closed, without being deprived of the right to continue their studies, are authorised to pass their examinations before the provisional committee appointed to manage the affairs of the University, and invested with the power of conferring degrees.

The great full rehearsal at the Crystal Palace, under Mr. Costa, will take place on Saturday, 21st June, commencing at 11 o'clock. The choruses in the first part of the rehearsal will comprise those known as single choruses, the second part (which is expected to commence about two o'clock) will consist of double choruses from "Deborah," " Solo mon," and "Israel in Egypt." The list of principal vocalists engaged for this festival is unusually strong, including the names of Madlle. Titiens, Madame Rudersdorff, Madame Lemmens Sher rington, and Miss Parepa, Madame Sainton Dolby, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Weiss, Mr. Santley, and Signor Belletti. They will all take part on the great rehearsal day. Several interesting acoustical experiments have lately been made to test the effect of the new roof thrown over the orchestra. These have been attended with marked success. Single voices and instruments have been heard at the extreme end of the central transept with as much distinctness as in a small concert room. In one instance a conversation was kept up with a littlechildpl i a ts cedat addi tional the back of the orchestra w ith p erfect eas e. The increase i n the thirty-two powerful f tonesfeet of pedalthe greatpipes, i s organ, with really astonishing, and justifies the moat sanguine anticipations in resi,ect of the Fhtival. A large number of applications for tickets have been re • ceived during the last few days from the Continent, and from various parts of the country, from persons coming to London for the Agricultural Show, who also intend availing themselves of the opportunity for attending the Festival. It is anticipated that the number of Germans and other foreigners attending the Palace during the Fes tival week will far exceed those on any former occasion. On the day of the great rehearsal the doors of the Palace will be opened at nine in the morning. Tickets for this day, if purchased on or before Thursday, 19th June, wine 7s. 6d. ; after that time the price will be half•a-guinea. The great fountains will be played one hour after the conclusion of the rehearsal. It has also been announced that ss. tickets will be issued on each of the three days of the Festival, viz., Monday, the 23d ; Wednesday, the 25th ; and Friday, the 27th o f June. It can be scarcely requisite to draw the aitention of in. tending visitors from the country to the necessity of secur ing Tickets previously to their arrival in town. FLOGGING IN MARYLEBONE WORKHOUSE CHO OL S. An excited meeting of the directors and guar dians of the poor of St.Marylebone, presided over by Mr. Charles Beevor, took place at the Board-room of the Workhouse yesterday, to investigate a case of severe castigation of one of the boys of the Work house Schools at Southall, by the :master, and to consider the propriety of confirming a minute for his dismissal in consequence. Dr. RANDALL, the medical officer, reported that he visited the scbools on the 14th ult., and found a boy named Redaway crippled, with a scar on his right cheek between two and three inches long, his back and right shoulder black and blue, and a scar on his back, the result of a flogging which had been inflicted by the schoolmaster on the 7th. The confirmation of the minute for the dismissal of the master being moved, An excited and protracted discussion ensued, in which an amendment was moved by Sir J. J. HAMILTON, Bart., to the effect that the confirma tion of the minute be postponed for three months. The hon. baronet did so on the ground that A rod should be held over t he master in terrorenz, and for the sake of his wife and family, and because both had been heretofore admitted to be good officers. At the same time he perfectly concurred with every gentleman of the board that this act of the master fully justified the severest censures, and had in curred the condemnation of the whole parish. Messrs. Tavener, Carr, Conquest, and others sup ported the amendment, to avoid ruining the master and his family. They said he admitted the cruelty of hi s proceedings; he did not attempt to justify his act, and it would give him an opportunity of atoning 'for it. It was further argued that the school was in great insubordina tion, and that was the best course to remove it. On the other hand, Messrs. Herring, Abrahams, Bot ting, and others warmly supported the motion for the dismissal, and maintained that he should have , been taken before a magibtvate to be summarily • dealt with. Ultimately the amendment was put and carried by 15 against 7, when a division was loudly de manded, and was attended by the same result; whereupon Mr. ABRAHAMS moved, and Mr. HERRING se conded—" That the master be ',arrested forthwith and charged before a magistrate for the offence," to be placed on the paper for discussion at the next meeting.
