Ittr MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. There is rather more r.:creand for discount accom modation to-day at the Bank of England as well as in the general market, where the current rates are firme r in consequence. The present quotation for first class hills is 21, per cent, being a fraction firmer, owing to the extensive deposits sent in with applications for the New Turkish loan. UP to the close of business last evening the appli cations for allotments in the new loan represented nearly £1 3,000,000, the total sum paid in being £640,000. It is announced that the list will be closed on Friday, and in the interval an extensive addition is expected to be made to the subscriptions already received. The prospectus of the Imperial Bank was pub l!sbed yesterday. It :s to be established under the limited liability principle, with a nominal capital ? f £3,000,000, of which only £1,000,000, divided i nto 10,000 shares, is to be issued in the first in s* nee. The directors are all highly connected ith the trade of the country, and they urge, very correctly, that the success invariably atterldi`ng banking business, and the unceasing commerce of the country, are sufficient to justify them in pro- Inotin g the undertaking, and to warrant hopeful a nticipations. Besides, it is understood that when the company shall be established two small joint- Stock banks will transfer their business to the Im- Perial. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was ex. ceedingly dull, but prices were steadily supported The sales were only 2,000 bales. A small parcel of gold, viz., £4,000, was taken into the Bank yesterday. The steamer Delta, - which leaves to-morrow with the Bombay mails, will take out £19,142 in gold and £235,950 in silver. No material alteration was exhibited in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Gold is now 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and 4-10ths per cent. higher here than in Hamburg. At the half-yearly meeting of the Canada Cora- Pally today, Mr. Charles Franks, governor, in the Chair, it was stated that there was a surplus balance over and above the capital of the company of £824,738, estimating the undisposed lands at the Price realised in 1854. The financial position of the company was considered good, and the amount it represented was £l,OOO in excess of the receipts at the last meeting. 35,000 acres of land had been sold during the year, and the profit realised was about £60,000. The report was carried, and the Ravernor and retiring directors re-elected. Although the transactions in the English Stock Market this morning have been extremely limited, rather a heavy tone has prevailed, in consequence of the effect produced by the Turkisk Loan, which has temporarily increased the demand for money. Consols are y per cent. lower in consequence, viz., for transfer, and 934 for the 10th proximo. The New Threes are 921 ; and the Reduced, 921 d ; Exchequer Bills have receded to 16s. and 19s. prem. ; and India 5 per Cents. to 1081 a. A rather large amount of business has been transacted in the Foreign Market, but prices show increased heaviness. Tu.-kish 6 per Cents. are 84 1 ; ditto, 1858, 70 to 71 ; the £lOO Bonds, have receded to 72 ; Mexican to 34 ; New GriNnada 2 per Cents. to 261 1 ; Italian 5 per Cents. t ° 66 4 , and are now 661 ;!,-; and Venezuelan to 241 ; Spanish are 534 ; ditto Deferred, 431 ; ditto Pas sive, 19; and ditto Certificates, 63 ; the New Turkish Loan Scrip has declined to 13 21 pi em.

This was a suit instituted by the husband for dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent. The co-respondent did not appear, and the respondent denied the adultery. Mr. M. Chambers, Q,C., and Mr. 1 .1. James were for the petitioner; and Dr. Sphrks for the respondent. - From the opening statement of Mr. Chambers it ap peared that in 1844 the petitioner was a lieutenant in the 12th Madras Native Infantry, and the co-respondent was attached to an English regiment, which had been stationed in India, as a medical officer. The parties were married in 1844, and had four children. The petitioner was ordered with his regiment to China, and during his absence it was thought advisable that Mrs. Temple should return to England. In March they embarked on board the Trafalgar, in which vessel the co-respondent al3o returned to England, and during the voyage the adultery WaS alleged to have been committed. The petitioner claimed £2,000 damages. Mr. Soar, a clerk in the India-office, produced a copy of the registry of marriage of the parties, John Temple to respondent, Emma Madge, on the 25th Nov., 1844, at the chapel station within the archdeaconry of Madras. Mr. Gifford ,;aid—ln 1844 I was lieutenant in the 12th Madras Native Infantry ; Colonel John Temple was in the same regiment ; his rank was then lieutenant. I knew Mrs. Madge and daughter. I recollect the report of the marriage of the parties. They left the station soon after, and when they returned I visited them. I left the regiment in 1849. In 1861 I met Mr. Sermon at the terminus of the Great Western Railway. I. was there introduced to Dr. Battersby, of Torquay, and Captain Taylor. I accom panied them to Clewer, near Windsor, and there I saw the lady that had been Miss Madge, and afterwards Colonel Temple's wife. So far as I know they lived on very affec • tionate terms. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tats DAY. The SPEAKER. took the chair soon after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Mr. Joseph Travers — I am Assistant-Adjutant-General of the Royal Marines. From January, 1858, to the 15th of December, 1860, I was in China. I had constant oppor tunity of seeing Colonel Temple, The first time I saw him was with his regiment, the Madras Native Infantry, at Hong-Kong. Ho was then captain ; he subsequently became major and colonel. I am certain he was in China during the whole of tho period I have mentioned. 1 never saw Mrs. Tun - Ipin there. 21 20& Mr. Frederick Temple—l am the head master of Rugby School. Colonel Temple is my Younger brother. I reside at Rugby with an unmarried sister and my mother. I have a married sister residing at Rugby. I remember my brother leaving England in 1840 and entering the Indian army. We have been up to the present time in constant corres pondence with him.

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been limited, and in several instances, a further slight decline has taken place in prices. Fast Anglian, Great Westerns, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North Westerns have receded ss. ; Groat Northerns and South Easterns lOs ; and South Westerns 10s.

On the following morning his body was found under the cliff, which at that spot is , a , ,u out 2 80 feet high. The key of the chickenhouse and 13 s were found in his pocket.

The little boy came in 1852, and the girl in 1856. The boy is now about 16 years of age. Before Mrs. Temple came I was informed of her visit. On the 27th of June, 1860, I went down to Blackwell for the pur pose of meeting her. The vessel (the Trafalgar) came up while I was waiting. I then met Mrs. Temple with her two younger children on board. When I met Mrs. Temple she introduced me to Dr. Laing, the medical man in at. tendance on the troops. I was uncomfortably struck with their familiarity. Mrs. Temple and her children returned with me to Rugby. I recollect going to Paris in the month of July. On the 2d of August I received a telegraphic message from my sister, and in Consequence of that I re turned to Rugby the next day. On the night of the 3d of August my mother gave me a letter, the direction of which was in Mrs. John Temple's handwriting. It was unopened. After seeing that letter I spoke to Mrs. Temple, and after. - wards to my mother. I told Mrs. Temple she must choose between three things—either to send the letter to her hus band, to allow me to read it, or else permit my mother to do so. I observed that the letter was directed to Cap tain Taylor. I said I could not allow the letter to be sent, and then I gave her the choice I have mentioned, I said I found there had been something wrong between her and Dr. Laing. She was very indignant. With great difficulty she consented to let my mother read the letter. I then gave the letter to my mother. On the 7th of August, 1860,:I went to Canterbury, and there I saw Dr.,Laing. I had had a conversation with Mrs. Temple the day before. She said Dr. Laing had made a mistake in his treatment of her, and that if she mentioned the circumstance to anybody he would be ruined. I had had a communication from my mother and sister before I spoke to Mrs. Temple on the subject. I remonstrated with her for persisting to see Dr. Laing against my mother's wish. After this I made the observation I have just made. When I saw Dr. Laing I told him Mrs. Temple was unwell, and that as I wished to 1 consult a medical man, I wished to know the treatment he had pursued towards her. I told him what she said about the mistake, and he replied he could not understand it. He afterwards said he would write to me, and enclose his opinion. On the 12th I received a letter from him, and one also came addressed to Mr. Temple. [Mr. Laing's let ter was here read ; it stated that during the voyage Mrs. Temple had suffered from lassitude, and that he had admini stered gentian pills. It also went on to say that he enclosed a bottle of \ perfume for Mrs. Temple.] Witness pro ceeded—l opened the letter and parcel addressed to Mrs. Temple. There was something written on the wrapper of the bottle. [The paper was here put in and read ; it began " Darling," and giving directions that one spoonful of the liquid was to be taken at certain intervals, but never mare than that quantity at one time.) On the 14th I went to London, and took the bottle to Dr. Alfred Taylor for analysis, I afterwards wrote to Dr. Laingabout the writing on the paper wrapper of the bottle, when he replied by the letter that the bottle had been sent by mis take to Mrs. Temple, and that it was a very fortunate cir cumstance that the error had been discovered. Mrs. Temple after this went to Torquay in company with my married sister, Mrs. Maberley. Dr. Alfred Swain Taylor said—l am a doctor of medi citie and professor of chemistry at Guy's Hospital, I re collect the bottle spoken of being handed to me by Mr Temple on the 14th of August. I analysed it and I found it to contain amongst other things ergot of rye, of double the strength of that ordinarily used. Ergot of rye is used in certain cases during accouchements. If taken fre quently it would occasion abortion. A teaspoonful of the mixture contained in the bottle if taken at intervals of two hours would very likely produce that effect. By the Judge Ordinary—lt is used in certain cases by medical men, it being a powerful astringent. The proper dose would be half a teaspoonful two or three times a day. Miss Temple, sister of the last witness, spoke to Mrs. John Temple going to Torquay, and also proved the re spondent's handwriting in certain letters. Dr. Robert Batterebee—l formerly was in practice as a medical man at Torquay. I attended in that capacity a lady who turned out to be Mrs. John Temple. Her illness terminated in a miscarriage after the fourth month. At first she denied pregnancy. She was compelled to admit the fact. The circumstance occurred on the 11th of Sep tember. The lady has since been pointed out to me at Clewer. The deposition of Captain Taylor, of the Trafalgar, was read. It stated that the ship was engaged to convey troops to England from India. Dr. Laing was the medical man in charge of the troops, and Mrs. Temple was one of the two lady passengers. It went on to state that Mrs. Tem ple admitted the fact with which ,she was accused, but that it had taken place against her wish on board the ship : and when she was unable to resist. No evidence was offered for the respondent. The jury were of opinion that the respondent had com mitted adultery with the co-respondent, and assessed the damages at £5OO. The court pronounced a decree nisi, with costs, against the co-respondent. POLICE INTELLIGENCP.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBER - F.-Emily Sinclair, a well-dressed female, was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain as follows : Mr. James Ellacott, a little old man, a retired tailor, liv ing at 24, Dean-street, Soho, said—l live on the first floor of my house. and the prisoner lives at the top. Last night about 12 I was standing at my bedroom door going to bed, when the prisoner threw her arms round my neck very affectionately. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Your watch and chain then disappeared, I suppose ? Prosecutor —Exactly so. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Were you sober ? Prosecutor—Sob er; perfectly (with some surp r i se ). Mr. Tyrwhitt—The question is n ot a singular one, for three-fourths of the P ersons who come here are for drunkenness, Prosecutor—There was a light, of course. As soon as I missed my watch, prisoner said, " Oh, I'll get some gin," and she was off in a minute. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Does she often sit in the same roots with you? Prosecutor—Well, she has done so, but not very often. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Are you a bachelor Prosecutor—Well, I am single, and have been so for 18 years. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You sent for a constable. Prosecutor—Of course. She came back, but with no gin. Ann Iteede, a lodger in the same house, said—l saw the chain round Mr. Ellacott's neck. I afterwards missed it, " She has taken Mr. ran down stairs E an n d a s c a o i t d t, s to w ll a l tc r h . a ll n a d co t t h t' e s n s p e r r i v s a o n n t e , r , say ing, " I'll get some gin," and she was gone one hour and a half. By Mr. Tyrwhitt—Some gin had be en had, and Mr. Ellacott had had some, but said he would have no more, and wanted to go to bed. Prisoner—l know nothing about the watch and chain. other There prosecutor's house, and are 15 h eh as all lth gay women AOaen liv ing in women inhs room to sit with him (Laughter.) A constable said, on taking prisoner into custody, he found that she was not sober, but the prosecutor was. The prisoner was remanded, and the prosecutor hobbled out of court. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. W. EWART gave notice that on April 9th he would move for a select committee to eonsider the feasibility of establishing a uniform system of weights and measures. REGISTER OF VOTERS BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. On clause I being read, which provides for the compil ing an index to the election lists of the different parishes, Mr. LOCKE KING moved, as an amend men t, that each index should only be regarded inboroughs comprising more than six parishes, as in boroughs comprising less than six parishes, and having only six lists, a voter could have no difficulty or inconvenience in ascertaining without an index whether or not his name was on the register. The borough of Manchester contained only one parish, consequently there was no use for an index there. After some further discussion the committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 43 Against it Majority against the amendment The amendment was consequently lost. The question was then pnt that clause 1 stand part of the bill, upon which the house again divided, when there appeared— _ _ For the clause 64 Againit it Majority for the clause The clause was then ordered to stand part of the bill. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the house resumed. SMALL HOUSES EXEMPTION (SCOTLAND) BILL On the suggestion of Sha.7:inEY, Sir J. OGILVIE postponed the second reading of this bill till this day fortnight. CHANCERY REGIST RATION BILL. On the order of the day being read for going into com mittee on this bill, Mr. SELWYN opposed the measure on its merits, as the effect of it would be to take away from the judges of the Court of Chancery that discretion which they have been hitherto in the practice of exercising as to the manner in which justice should be administered in their own courts. It would give an advantage to the plaintiff in a cause which the defendant could not take advantage of, while it would fetter the action of the judges of the Court of Chancery, and would give rise to much inconvenience as well as expense. Should the bill be passed, the effect of it would be either to compel them to increase the number of the judges of the Court of Chancery, or to return to the old system of Masters, or to the still more objectionable one of delay. Mr. HADFIELD approved of the principle of the mea sure, but was of opinion that, they ought to establish the existing rules or regulations, which prohibited barristers at-law and attorneys anti solicitors to practice in the Court of Chancery; and at the proper time he should move an amendment to that effect. Mr. ROLT defended the measure, contending that it would prevent suitors being handed from court to court, as they were at present. It would take away none of the dis cretion decreed by the judges of the Court of Chancery, as they would still have the discretion of sending questions of fact to be tried in another court, if they saw it would be a saving of expenses, but as he considered that that discretion having been already tried and found wanting, they should now impose on the judges of the Court of Chancery the trial of all cases which came within the particular jurisdiction, either by jury or otherwise, and he did not think that the trial of cases by such means would be detrimental to the carrying on of the other business of the Court. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he had several ob jections to the measure as it stood, but as these would be obviated by an amendment which he had prepared and would propose at the proper time, he had no objections to the bill going into committee. Mr. biALINS considered that the measure would bring about a great improvement in the practice of the Court of Chancery, and he should cordially support the motion for going into committee. - M. WALPOLE said his opinion of the question was, that while he agreed to the principle of the measure he considered that the amendment to be proposed by the Soli citor-General would in a great degree neutralise its effect, and he thought it would be better to leave matters as they stood, unless they were prepared to take away all discretion from the Equity Judges, and leave them to try cases in all the stages and issues which properly came within their jurisdiction. Sir FITZROY KELLY considered the measure a valuable and important one, and hoped no further obstacle would be put to going into committee. The SPEAKEkt then left the chair, and the house went into committee on the bill. On clause 1, Mr. HADFIELD moved an addition to the effect that all sergeants and barristers-at-law, and all attorneys-at law and solicitors should, from and after the passing of this Act, be entitled to practise in the Court of Chancery, not withstanding any rule or regulation to tho contrary, and that the said sergeants and barristers-of-law should have respectively the same rank and precedence as they were now entitled to. Mr. ROLT said the amendment was unnecessary, as there was no rule or regulation which Prevented any of the par ties referred to from going into and practicing in the courts of equity. The amendment was accordingly withdrawn, and clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL proposed as an amend ment that it be left to the discretion of the Judges in Equity to send questions of fact for trial before the courts of law should they consider that they could be tried there with greater advantage to the parties. Mr. ROLT opposed the amendment; as it interfered materially with the principles of the bill. [LEFT SITTING.] VHS DAY'S SHIPPING.

They were unsuccessful in their inquiries, and left the place. Next morning the body of the woman was found drowned in the Rochdale Canal, near " Neddy Bridge," also in the vicinity of Todmorden. Her age was about 45, and the quality of her apparel, though now re duced to mere patchwork, shows that it originally belonged to some one in better circumstances. On Monday a man named Joseph Leach was apprehended at Bradford, on sus picion of having murdered the woman. He states that he comes from Ashton-under-Lyne, and on being taken into custody admitted that he was in the company of the de ceased on Friday. The name of the woman is not known, but, when inquiring for lodgings at Salford, she stated she had travelled during the whole of the previous night from Halifax, and was going to Burnley, where her children were living. Leach is a brushmaker, and arrived at Brad ford on Saturday in search of work. STRANGLED 13Y MISTAKE, AND EXTRAORDINARY RECOVERY TO LI}E.—A remarkable instance of restoration to life after strangulation occurred at Crawley to a lad about seven years of age, in the employ of Mr. Thomas Smith, surgeon, on Thursday last. It seems the lad, from some whimsical or fanciful impulse, thought proper, while engaged in the stable, to jeopardise his life by placing the bridle rein hanging from a post round his neck, and inad vertently got the tongue in the buckle hole, and, probably from fright and agitation, became unable to extricate him self. Mr. G. Clark providentially having occasion to go to the stable, found the lad on his knees, his head dropping forward, his hands dropping listlessly by his sides, and his face greatly discoloured, and to all appearance dead. Most providentially again, Mr. L. Tricker, assistant, WbS instantly on the spot, and Mr. Smith in a minute or two. There seemed no 'possible chance of restoring animation. yet the lungs were instantly inflated, and compressed, and this was persevered in apparently without any chance of success. The countenance, however, beginning to pale in dicated returning circulation, and it took about an hour and a half before the lungs freely discharged their proper func tions. The lad, being then icy cold, was wrapped in thick blankets, and placed in bed, and exposed to a brisk curren t of air at the time. It became very difficult to keep him in bed from his struggling The lad, although comparatively restored, seems at the present time much bewildered ; his memory seems almost entirely gone, and no rational answers can be got from him on his being interrogated, although he j is gradually improving.-sussex ,Express. 20 Algerian...•.••.... ..... 10 Antwerp &Rotterdam. 20 Ardennes.... ......... 20 Bah.&S.Fran..Lim.7p.c.i 5 Belgian East.

T e h of gold at Paris is a bout i per mule pm., and th e on London i s 25.25 per .E 1 sterling. s e h q o u r o t tio n n ang On comparg these rates with th e English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. P e in r o unce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 3..ioths per cent. dearer i n London than in Paris. By ath ices from Hamburg th e short exchange 61 price of gold is 426 i per mark, an d the on London is 13. per £1 sterling. stan d a rd gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 4..joths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange atNew York on London for bills at go days' sight is about 112 per cent., and the premium on gold is i to if per Cent. At these rates there is a profit on the im portation of gold from thy united States. ~,- MR. TVALPOL.WS RESOLUTIONS. .The following are the resolutions which the hon. gen tleman will propose in committee :-- " 1. That, where it is proposed to give Government aid to elementary scho.)ls, it is inexpedient that the whole amount of such aid should depend on the individual exa mination of each child in reading, writing, and arithmetic. "2. That the system of grouping by age for the pur pose of examination would be unequal in its operation, and an inadequate tee•t of the work done in the•school, and specially disadvantageous for those children whose early education has been neglected. " 3, That the provisions of the Revised Code, in the points referred to in the foregoing resolutions, would, if unamended, increase the difficulty of extending the benefits of the Government grants to poor and neglected di'tricts. "4. That the refusal of any portion of the Parliamentary grants, on account of any children who have once passel in the highest class of examination, is likely to have an in jurious effect, as tending to aggravate the acknowledged evil of the withdrawal of children from elementary schools at an early age. "5. TLat it is inexpedient that the capitation grants on account of children under seven years of ago, should be made to depend on the individual examination of those children. I "6. That the provisions of the Revised Code with regard to evening schools are unsatisfactory, inasmuch as the master in many cases would be unable, after the labour un dergone in a day, adequately to attend to the management and teaching of the evening scholars. " 7. That the regulations contained in the Revised Code with regard to pupil teachers ate unjust and impolitic. "S. That it would be unjust entirely to withold the other benefits of the Parliamentary grant from such manag, rs of schools as decline to undertake to provide and pay the stipend and gratuities, now severally payable on account of pupil teachers, during the continuance of their current' apprenticeship. "9. That it would be impolitic to run the risk of a return to the monitorial system by discouraging the em ployment of pupil teachers, and that such employment would be better pro mo t ed by pecuniary premiums than by pecuniary penalties. o 10. That in January of each year, if the code be re vised, or any material alteration in it be necessary, it shall be printed in such a form as to show separately all articles cancelled or modified, and all new articles. " 11. That, in the event of such revision or material al teration as mentioned in the last foregoing resolution, it shall not be lawful to take any action thereon until the same shall have been submitted to Parliament, and laid on the table of both houses for at least one calendar month."
