CEY 11ARKET. CITY NEWS—YESTERDAY. The advices from F-1 t. Petersburg report,no change in business, the active season being over. The rate of exchange is stAll as low as 351 d. In the south of Russia the prices of produe of all kinds are at pre sent too high to admit of profitable shipments to this country. Early next year the serf question !mist be completed, and the approach of that period is regarded with interest, but it is thought that the adjustment will be made without disturbance. The opinion is that the change will aid in increasing the agricultural productions of the country from the greater ener g y to b e expected from the serfs when are free and working for themselves. About £38 ,000 in gold was taken from the Bank tod ay. Part of this amount consisted of 20,000 sovereigns for Alexandria.

MURDER OF A POLICEMAN. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) CHILD MURDER. Elizabeth Simms, aged 20, a respectable-looking young woman, was charged with the wilful murder of her illegiti mate male child. There was a second count for concealment of the birth. It appeared that the prisoner was a domestic servant, and it had been observed that her appearance indicated that she was pregnant She was charged with the fact, but strongly denied it. Some short time afterwards, from circumstances which had transpired, she was charged with having given birth to a child, which she admitted, and stated that she had hid the body in the copper in the kitchen. A search was then made, when the body of the ehild was found, quite dead, and on examination it was found that the skull was fractured. The jury ultimately acquitted the prisoner of the charge of murder, and convicted her on the second count, for con cealment of the birth. The learned Judge sentenced her to three months impri sonment with hard labour. William Harrington was indicted for causing the death of an aged man named Hammond. The prisoner was a tradesman, and was driving his dog cart in the neighbourhood of Islington, when the unfortu nate person, who was extremely deaf, was knocked down and very much hurt. Some time afterwards he died. Evidence having been adduced, The jury found the prisoner guilty. The learned Judge sentenced him to three weeks' im prisonment. NEW COURT. (Before Baron Bramwell.) MORE GAROTTE ROBTIERIES.—John Painter, labourer, and Charles Thompson, joiner, wet° indicted for feloniously assaulting Samuel Prior with intent to rob him. The prosecutor was a clerk in a public office, and was passing along Cockspur-street on the night of the robbery, when he was stopped by the prisoners in the most violent manner. One of them seizing him by the throat, whilst the other commenced unbuttoning his waistcoat. An alarm was raised by the prosecutor, when both parties ran away, the police, who had in the interim came up, following them. After a short chase both persons were captured. A cabman who was passing with his vehicle at the time also identified the prisoners as the persons whom lie saw atop the gentleman. Tho jury found both prisoners guilty. Baron Bramwell postponed passing sentence. ROBBRRY IN A BROTHEL. The face of the deceased bears marks of many blows, but none which would seem of sufficient violence to cause death. Ducker is more punished than the deceased. He is.a man between 60 and 70 years of age, but of great strength. About twelvemonths since the deceased received very severe injuries when endeavouring to secure two men who were committing a felony. An in-• quest is to be opened to-night. William Smith, labourer; Gibson Burley, sailor; and George Needham, sailor, were indicted for a robbery with violence on George Rowell, and stealing from his person. '1 he prosecutor went into a brothel, where he was robbed of his property. Baron Bramwell said the present case was very different from other cases with which they had been occupied. The public could not have much sympathy with a married man, the father of a family, who goes to a brothel on a Saturday night and there gets robbed of his property. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The prisoners were then again indicted for robbing Win. Began. ANOTHER FAILURE OF 7HE NEW POACHING A Cr. At the Keele Petty S essions on Tuesday three well-known poachers, named Thos. Parton, Wm. Leyton, and Joseph Williams, were charged before Mr. T. F. Twemlow, the Rev. C. H. Mainwaring, and Mr. F. S. Broade, with being unlawfully in possession of game. Abopt six o'clock on the morn i❑g of Nov. 19, Police-officers Bradshaw, Taylor, and Rushton, of the county force, were on duty in the turnpike road at Seabridge, and met the de fendants, whom they stopped and searched. They found on Parton a bag with nine rabbits and a hare; on Williams seven rabbits, a hare, a net, and a quan tity of pegs; on Leighton eight rabbits, a hare, and a net. The nets were damp, and the sharp ends of the pegs were damp and dirty, as if just used. On the following day Bradshaw, accompanied by a gamekeeper of Mr. Davenport, of the Maer, went round the covers of the estate, and in one of the fields found a number of peg holes, and the soil of the field was of a similar nature to the dirt on the pegs found on the prisoner Williams. The facts of the cases (each prisoner being tried separately), having been brought out in evidence, Mr. Twemlow said it a conviction could take place on suspicion, of course the magistrates could have no doubt in this case, bat they were bound by the act of Parliament, and it certainly seemed to him that the evidence was not sufficient to show that the prisoners came into possession of the game unlawfully, though there was no moral doubt of it. Therefore, as far as he was concerned, he should decline to convict. The prosecutor said he was induced to accompany a wo man to the same house as that to which the prosecutor i❑ the last case went. While Began was talking to the woman the three men came into the room, one by one, when they seized him by the throat, threw him on the bed, and vio lently robbed him of all his money, and then turned him out. He said his throat was sore for a fortnight from the effects of the ill-usage. The jury found all three prisoners guilt y. A previous conviction was proved against Needham and Burley. The learned Judge asked whether anything else was known about the prisoners. Inspector Lindsay said—Needham had been 12 times in custody, and six times convicted. Burley had been twice in custody for assaulting the police, and Smith had been four times in custody for the same offence, in addition to which he had been twice convicted for robbing drunken men. The learned Judge sentenced Needham to 10 years, and Smith and Burley to three years' penal servitude. THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) RECEITING STOLEN GOODS. Frederick Cornell, shoemaker, was indicted for feloniously receiving 181bs. of gutta percha, the goods of Henry Bew ley and another, well knowing the same to be stolen. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The Recorder sentenced him to 12 months' imprison. ment, with hard labour. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.—A CASE FOR THE DIVORCE COURT.—William Taylor, of 4, Little Stanhope-street, Mayfair, servant, was charged before Mr. Knox with as saulting his wife, Sarah Ellen Taylor. The wife, a respectable •looking female, said that a quar ter past one that morning, while she was sitting up with a young female who lived in the same house, her husband came home drunk. A soon as the female left, her husband commenced a violent assault upon her, striking her several blows about the eyes and nose. She then called a constable and gave her husband in charge. Eliza Henderson, the person alluded to by the com plainant, said, that hearing screams from the complainant she entered the room and found the defendant with his hands twisted in his wife's hair. She got between them and separated them. They (complainent and her husband) had only lived in the house seven weeks, and there had been frequent quarrels. Mr. Mainwaring said he had little doubt about the case being clearly proved against the prisoners, and he could not concur with Mr. Twemlow's rt marks. Mr. Broade, not having heard the whole of the first case, declined to take any part in the adjudi cation, and it requiring two magistrates to convict the prisoners were discharged.—Birmingham Post.

Cameron, 40 C, proved being called to the house by the wife and the last witness, and said, seeing marks of violence on the complainant's hands, he took the defendant into custody. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. In answer to Mr. Knox, the wife said she had only been married to the defendant four months, and shortly after her marriage she had to leave her husband in consequence of his threatening to cut her throat. After a time she went back to live with her husband, and he had ill-used her,ever since, whether sober or not. The first Sunday after she was married her husband tore her dress from her back. Mr. Knox remarked that it seemed to be an ill-omened marriage altogether. The wife said sh. 3 would rather do anything than live with her husband again. He had threatened to be hanged for murdering her, and she believed he would do it. Defenjant made no defence. Mr. Knox said the defendant's conduct was most abomi naLle, and he had been guilty of a series of acts of bruta lity. Fortunately for the defendant his wife had no other marks of violence about her than that on her hand. As it was the first time the defendant had been before him, he should not punish hi m so severe l y as he otherwise would have done, but he would commit him for one month with hard labour. Our market to-day was moderately supplied with beasts in fair average condition. Most breeds changed hands slowly; nevertheless, compared with Monday, very little change took place in the quotations. Downs and half-bred sheep were in steady request at full prices —the top figure being 5s 8d per 81bs ; but all other breeds moved off heavily at barely previous currencies. The show of calves was moderate, and the veal trade ruled somewhat firmer at ex treme rates. The demand for pigs was less active on for mer terms. In mulch cows very little was doing.

ROBBERY .AT THE ExEmarrloN.—George Remmings and William Little, two labouring men, were charged with stealing some lead pipe from the International Exhibition. Police. constable William Rattle, 197 X, said that at four o'clock yesterday afternoon he was on duty at one of the doors of the exhibition, when he observed the two pri soners about to pass out, Hemmings carrying a roll of lead pipe in his right hand, and Little walking close behind him to conceal it from observation.

Hemmings had no business in the building. A water-pipe had burst yesterday after noon, and Little had been engaged in repairing it. No per son had any right to take property off the building.

HALESWORTH, SUFFOLK, WEDNESDAY. Yesterday great excitement was caused in this town from the fact that since that morning a police man had disappeared, and was supposed to have been murdered, and the same evening the body was found, death evidently having resulted from foul play. It seems that the murdered officer,Ebenezer Tye, who is about 22 years of age, went on duty as usual on Monday night, and the last time he is known to have been seen alive was about 4 o'clock on Tuesday morning, when he was spoken to by a brother officer. His beat was in the town of Hales worth. As he did not report himself as usual on Tuesday, at the police-stati:,n, a search was made, which resulted in the finding of the body in a shal low stream which runs through the town. The poor man was lying on his back, with his hands in front of him as if whe❑ he died he had been endea vouring to force back some person with whom he was struggling. Close by were his handcuffs and his hat, whilst his staff was found in the osier ground which bordered the stream. A man named John Ducker has been apprehended charged with the murder, and also a man named Stephen Warren, and the wife of the latter. The facts against Ducker seem to be these. That about 6 o'clock on Tuesday morning the deceased and Ducker were heard by a woman who was going out washing scuffling at the corner of a court called Clark's-buildings, which leads from Chediston-street to the stream where the body was found. It is known that the deceased was watching Ducker, who bears a very bad character, and from a truss of hay found in Ducker's house, which is situate in Clark's•buildings, it is supposed that the deceased stopped Ducker and endeavoured to search him; that Ducker made off, ran through the water, and Tye catching him in the osier ground they had a struggle there. Then it is thought Ducker suc ceeded in breaking from the deceased and ran into the water, where Tye followed him, and after a further scuffle Tye was knocked down and held un der the water until he was dead. -` 2 -iTISH POSSESSIONS - anare 100 !

Their soil is barren, except in a few valleys, and at the heads of the interior lochs ; and from the moun tains the traveller may see how scanty is the tillage. There are strips of cultivation in the levels and by the margin of the lakes, and patches here and there on the moorlands ; and there are a few scattered farms, very poor, and difficult to manage. The climate is such that nothing is attempted beyond oats and potatoes. These and the fisheryconstitut e the main tenance of the country and shore people; and the tradesfoik depend, of course, on the custom of their neighbours. Everything that is reported is dear; and almost everything is imported—even to butchers' meat. Peat from the moorland is the fuel used. The oats have almost altogether failed to ripen this year ; and a considerable proportion has never been cut at all, It lies swamped under the snow. The potatoes are the main resource of the people, from autumn to midsummer, and the potatoes are this season a mere mass of putridity. The inhabitants are sitting amidst their hurricanes, and hail, and snow, without fire as well as without food ; for the continual rains of this year have so flooded the moorland that no peat could be got. The ministers of Skye are in despair about saving the people withoat immediate help ; and already the children are down in measles, and their parents wasting away in low fever. The fever is creep ing on from house to house, and from village to village. Such is the account which lies before me, from the hand of the minister of Sleat. The name will call up recollections in the minds of tourists, who may perhaps feel that their summer , pleasures so far bind them to the place and people as to constitute some sort of obligation to help them in their fearful stress. In the absence of a Count Rumford, we must use our own wits about how to go to work : and we ought to have both wit and heart enough to ship off some cargoes of potatoes, meal, and fuel (peat if possible, to suit the island-hearths). Unless this is done, there will be something worse in Skye than we have been dreading in Lancashire. Will some one go and cross that strip of stormy sea, and learn the extent of the need, and show us how to meet it, in the quickest and best way? If so, that explorer will look back, all his life, on that winter trip with more satisfaction than on any autumn touring, from the peaks of the Alps to the depths of Mammoth caves.—Once a Week. THE LANCASHIRE DIS7RESS. It is possible that a Count Rumford—an apostle of comfort to the destitute—may arise out of the needs of the time; and perhaps I may have been led to the choice of my theme to-day by some vague hope that the revival of the image of Count Rum ford may hasten . the appearance of some successor, in the crisis of our need. We all rejoice to hear of a sick kitchen in one place ; of penny meals and pleasant rooms to eat them in another; and of pro posals for a training kitchen elsewhere. 'We are all glad to hear that in some districts the melancholy sameness of the dole of meal and soup, or bread and soup, is broken up, and that the variety of potato hash, rice and milk, &c., is introduced. But still, we are but too well aware that the people gene rally are not sufficiently nourished, and that they do not so enjoy their meals as to derive the full benefit of what they eat. We have not now, thank Heaven ! natural philosophers who pro pose starch for poor men's diet, because starch com prehends such and such nutritious elements; nor mighty Dukes who come forward, brave in conscious humanity, to recommend a pinch of curry powder in cold water to warm the poor man's stomach, aching with emptiness. We have not to blush for this kind of display of humanity; but neither have we as yet a Count Rumford who would ask of us only our money and our help, in order to ensure a full and comfortable support to every sufferer in Lancashire till the mills are going again. We would readily forgive any appearance of military drill in his methods, at such an hour as the present, in con sideration of the security he would certainly give us that nobody should die of hunger, if only we would provide the money, and would give him the spending of it. If a Count Rumford the Second would present himself to-day, we would make sure of his name being known in the next century more widely end more familiarly than that of his prede cessor.— Once a Week,.

Norman Macleod, D.D., minister of the parish of St. Columba, Glasgow, which took place yesterday morn ing. Deceased was the father of the Rev. Dr. Norman Macleod, of the Barony Parish, and was for some years one of the Deans of the Chapel Royal. He was 75 years of age, and his ministry extended over a period of 55 years. He was ordained in 1808, and was Mcderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1836.—Scotsman. A WORD ABOUT THE ISLE OF SKYE.—If we had such a "guide, philosopher, and friend" as Count Rum ford at this moment, we must give him something more than even the area of our cotton manufacture to manage. We must, be the Lancashire pressure what it might, take him to the Island of Skye.— Yes, even so ; though it is no trifle to cross the tur bulent Northern seas, and land on the Hebrides in winter. The melancholy truth is that unless we do, in heart and in purse, cross that stormy sea, and visit Skye without delay, the sounding shores of that solemn island will be strewn with the silent dead by the time the winter is over. According to the latest accounts, the state of things in Skye is most desperate, and unless something is done quickly there will be worse suffering in Skye this winter than we have seen in Lancashire.—Once a Week. AFRICAN EXLORATION JOURNEY OF M. JULES GERARD.—Yesterday a numerously attended meeting took place in the Cotton-sales- room, Exchange, Liverpool, for the purpose of hearing from M. Jules Gerard, the celebrated African traveller and lion killer, an account of his projected exploration of Central Africa. The chair on the occasion was occupied by Mr. Charles Turner, M.P., and the audi ence included a large number of the merchants and ship owners of Liverpool. M. Gerard, who spoke in French, described his experience in African travels and his adven tures on that continent ; and explained that during his many years' sojourn in Africa he had acquired an intimate knowledge of the languages and habits of various tribes of people, which, he ur ge d, wou ld b e va l ua ble in his pen contemplated journey. He had received the permission of the French Government to prosecute a journey into Central scheme he ld stated Africa, and in detailing the plan of this that his objects in undertaking the i°urilherchwhoauve their first, to ascend one of the principal ri vers sources of the Niger. now unknown, and of the peoples mouths on the coast of Guinea ; secondly,wted searchto acquire for the n knowledge of the resources of the country f o or wh ix a! possibility there would be who reside in those mountainreaourgegt settlements ousas al of creating that part of Africa and tending the producing powers.

Gerard efforts would tend to abolish the horrible massacre of human beings of which we now read as occurring on the African continent, and also that it should be promoted by them as merchants, as the object was to develope the resources of a fertile but hitherto un productive region. Mr. John Laird, M.P., likewise corn mended the undertaking, and pointed out the peculiar fit ness from past experience of M. Gerard to prosecute the journey. It was announced that Mr. Charles Stoess had consented to become local treasurer of the fund, and that subscriptions would be received at the various public insti • , iitions of the town. The last ad v i ces horn Brazil are very encouraging with regard to the future ability of that empire to contribute to the cotton supply. It is asserted from influential sources that supposing high prices to continue the crop of next year will be such as to realise £4,000,000, and that in 1864 the quantity will at least be doubled. She seed is being sown extensively in all the provinces, and it is said with complete succeed. THIRD E i)ITiON. SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. SPORTING -THIS DAY. WARWICK RACES.

In this case, the jury being unable to agree, the Judge discharged them from giving a verdict. THE GREAT BANK PAPER ROBBERY. This morning Buncher, Cummings, Brewer, Burnett, G riffiths, and Williams, were again placed at the bar before Alderman Cut ett. Mr. Freshfield appaared to prosecute; Mr. Lewis de fended Brewer and Mr. Peter, Buncher. The first witness examined was, _ _ _ _ John Stanley, who said—l am a bricklayer residing at. Shipcott-lane, Birmingham. I know the prisoner Griffiths, and have done so for many years. I have helped him on his farm, when I've had no bricklaying to do. I als) assist at a public house called the Old Robin Hood. I was waiting there in August and September last. I recollect Griffith coming there at the time accompanied by another —the prisoner Buncher. They had two or three cups of ale.- I waited on them. They were in the public parlour I have seen them twice in all at the house. It was about three o'clock one day and sir. the other. They remained over half an hour. Before they went away on the second occasion, Griffiths said, " This is Mr. Buncher, he's going back to London to-night." By Mr. Pater—l cannot now swear whether Buncher was present at the time. I don't know exactly whether it was August or September that I saw him. George Smith—l am a carpenter, residing at Overton. I was employed at the Laverstoke Mills in 1860. I was then engaged in work with Henry Brown and the prisoner Brewer. I recollect on the 13th of July last seeing Brown at Overton that Sunday evening. Litchfield was with him. I noticed Brown had a black bag in his hand. They were both walking in the direction to Laverstoke. I walked over towards my own home, but when I passed the Laverstoke Mill I did not hear Brown's footsteps. Brewer lived up the same lane that Brown's father does. I afterwar& saw Henry Brown come on to the end of the lane, when Brewer came out to him, and in a few minutes they went into the house. I don't think Brown saw me, neither do I bolieve that he went that night to his father's house. It was twelve minutes past ten o'clock in the evening when I saw Brown near Brewer's house. By Mr. Lewis—The first time I ever mentioned this cir cumstance was to Frampton, a policeman, at Overton, ow last Saturday week. I was paid half•a-crown for the in formation, but not by the policeman. A gentleman from he mill paid me and promised me my expenses attending here. I was not employed to do a "watching job." I don't, know why I listened, but I recollect I did. The reason I did not speak about all:this before was because I did not know that atybody wanted to know. I will swear it was on the 13th of July, in the present year, on a Sunday, that I met Henry Brown. I can't be mistaken about the day. 1 will positively swear I saw Brown enter Brewer'e house. The constable first came to me to find out what I knew. din't go to him. John Litchfield—l am recond foreman at the Laverstock pacer mills. I have been engaged during the last ten years —4 ,,, ,facture of paper there. The river on which the note numbered 31, tuv is pria.o, u ••••-• ir mills. It has not gone through the process of glazing. It has not undergone any pressure after size-drying. The rupee note paper now put into my hands was also made at Laverstoke. That also has not undergone the process of glazing. Unglazed paper is never sent from the mills to the Bank. Mr. Freshfield said the note which the witness had spoken to was the forged note printed on a portion of the stolen paper, and which was presented at the Bank on the 4th of November. The rupee paper referred to was a por tion of that found at the lodgings of tho prisoner Griffiths. By Mr. Lewis—A person might take paper from the size drying mill without injuring it very much. Mr. Lewis —What mark is there on the paper by wlNich you can identify the paper as that made at Laverstoke Mr. Freshfield—T apprehend the answer to that question will be injurious to the public service, and therefore I think it ought not to be answered. Mr. Lewis—l have no doubt the Bank of England has its secrets, but I don't see why the witness is not to a•l.- sner my question. Alderman Cubitt—l think the question ought not to be put. Cross-examination continued— Ho could not be mis taken about the rupee paper being manufactured at Laver - stoke. He had known forged paper brought to the mills, but he had never said it was manufactured there. In the forged paper I recollect there was a water -mark. I never said it was so like our genuine mark that I could not tell the difference. I will swear the water mark in the note 31,109 is that of the Laverstoke Mill. Brown's father has been discharged from Messrs. Portal's. I knew some time ago a master key was lost, and I also know now that a key NZ been found in one of the doors of tho mill. Old Brown was discharged two days after the key was found in the lock. The key produced by Webb the constable is a master key of the mill. Rodert Tilcock, sergeant of the City Police force, said— On the 6th of November I went with Webb to 85, St. Paul's-road, Kennington. There was the name of " Jack ton, engraver," on the door. Webb told the prisoner Wil liams, who answered to the name of Jackson, that he ri f fit hes, admitted who was ensi gm wanted to speak to him about a copper - plate he had sent to Birmingham. Williams denied sending the parcel ; and also said he knew nothing about it. Webb showed hin; a copper plate, it pl .: at , e, an an d dsaaifdterhesodnaide ith es fo it r at G ion he custody for printing forged notes, :and that he had worked for him for years. Mr. Freshfield said that was the whole of the evidence ho intended to lay before his lordship. Upon that he should ask for the committal of all the prisoners for trial. He should also ask that Williams might be committed sepa rately for having engraved a portion of the forged plates : , and the other prisoners together. Of course at the Old Bailey all th 9 prisoners would be indicted separately. Mr. Pater wished to know if the whole of the evidence against Buncher nad been produced. Mr. Freshfield said he had given quite enough to justify the committal of all the prisoners. Alderman Cubitt said he was quite of that opinion. Mr. Pater contended that no prima facie case had been made out against his client Buncher, and therefore that he ought to be discharged. _ _ _ Alderman Cubitt said he had fully made up his mind that Bhncher was implicated in this robbery, and therefore he should faii in his duty if he did not send him with the other prisoners for trial. _ _ After a few words from Mr, Lewis on the pai t of Brewer, who contended that forging a bank note on genuine paper was not an offence under the act relied on by Mr. Fresh field, The whole of the prisoners were fully committed for trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, to be held on the 15th of Dec. next.
