~~ MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The inquiry for discount accommodation shows a tendency to increase, and the rates are rather firmer in cormequence. About £3,000 in gold was sent in to the Bank of England yesterday, and £lB,OOO withdrawn for exportation. The Delta, sailing on Monday, the 12th instant, with the Bombay mails, will take out £61,120 in specie. Since Monday last the imports of specie 'have been about £134,000, and the exports £225,000. The traffic receipts of the Northern of France Railway for the past week were £51,269, against £45,394 last year. Very little activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were heavy. The sales were estimated at 4,000 bales. The following with regard to the tea trade is from Messrs. Richard Gibbs and Co.'s monthly cir cular :—The arrivals during the past month have been numerous. All classes of good and fine Kaisow and Molting continue to bring extreme rates, very little of either being still left in first hands ; the qualities of congou arriving now are generally of a lower class, though there are some fair medium blackish leaf teas which find ready sale at improved prices. Dusty broken leaf to fair common congous have been sold at easier prices, and Tayshan congous have found buyers to some extent at a further depression of ld. Scented teas Ere in better supply, and show some concession on the rates of last month. Supplies of green teas of all classes are considerable, but they still continue to bring full prices, especially hysons and young hysons, orders for which are brought by nearly every American mail. The stock of tea in the United Kingdom, we estimate at 80,000,000 lbs., against 82,600,000 lbs., and the quantity afloat, at 23,200,000 lbs., against 17,500,000 lbs., at the cor responding period last year.

NEW DRINKING FOUNTAIN.—A very beautiful drinking fountain has jut been erected in the Regent's Park, mid way between the entrance to the second park and the Zoological Gardens. It is approached by steps, and consists of a large stone' basin, surmounted by a granite column, five feet high ,on which, standing on a globe, is a bronze figure of a woman with a pitcher in her hand. The fountain has been erected at great expense, and, situate as it is in the most attractive part of the park, will 'prove a great boon to the thousands of country and foreign visitors to the Zoological Gardens this year. MIINDERSTORM AT NEWARK.--The storm of Wednesday afternoon last raged at Newark with astonish ing violence. The hailstones were of enormous size, some of them weighing 4 oz. ea ch, and measuring Pin, in circum ference. Thousands of panes of glass were broken. B u t the most striking part of the phenomenon was a tornado, which seemed to commence a few miles south-east of the town, and extended as far as the plantation of Mr. Grosve nor Hodgkinson, M.P., in the village of Winthorpe, about two miles north-west of Newark. The desolation it has caused at Coddington in particular baffles all description. The fine plantation on the estate of Mr. James Thorpe, of Beaconfield House, is almost entirely destroyed, and many of the largest and most beautiful trees in the park are torn up by the roots and split into pieces. The gas house and other buildings were considerably damaged. The farm stead of a person named Daybell, on the Coddington-hill, was reduced almost to a heap of ruins, a great part of the stacks being carried away and scattered in the adjoining fields. Other houses in the village were damaged in a similar manner. The hailstones went through the win, dows like shot from a cannon. The hurricane continued its devastating course direct to Winthorpe, carrying away seven or eight tons of straw from a farmyard, and damag ing the buildings. At Winthorpe it seemed to renew its fury, and tore up numbers of large trees as though they had been gooseberry bushes. One clump of five large elm trees, close together, were dragged up by the roots with ‘out being separated. It is impossible at present to give env correct idea of the amount of damage. The whole was the work of a few seconds. The smell of sulphur when th e tornado had passed was almost insufferable. Very little liv e e ,•ock was killed. It is remarkable that the cattle in the field' exhibited the greatest terror before the wind ap proached, ii the :nann.er described by travellers in tropical countries. The last Cap e o f Good Hope mail for England contained 13,888 letters, of which 296 were registere d, 14,761 ne wspapers, and 61 b ooks. The great horse -fai r a t Ca6tl, Which begins on the first Monday i n May, w a 8 exceedingly I we ll attended, and of the 1,800 horses brought;;, nearly all were sold at high prices. The show of other cattle w k is smaller than usual, and though the demand was not , fery .brisk, prices were well maintained. SHARE MARKET---THIS DAY. ORDIN.VRY SHARES AND STOe.h.S. Railways.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) CROWDER V. CROWDER AND M‘DONALD. This was a petition presented by the husband praying for divorce, on the ground :of adultery on the part of his wife with the co-respondent. The respondent pleaded that she left her husband's house in consequence of his cruelty. The co-respondent pleaded, but did not appear. William John Mariden, a surgical instrument maker, residing at Wakefield, said he was present at the wedding which took place in 1855, at St. George's Church, Don caster. After the marriage they appeared to live happily. Some time after, in consequence of Mr. Crowder having to go into the country in pursuance of his avocation as a traveller to a large woollen manu factory in 'Wakefield, 'Mrs. Crowder then came to reside with witness. He had to complain of her conduct, and she then left and went to her husband's residence. In 1857 they resided at Cliff•terrace, Wakefield. The house was given up, and the furniture sold. They then went to live in lodgings at Victoria Cottage, and afterwards in Burton street. Mr. Crowder always appeared an indulgent hus band. The last place Mr. Crowder resided with his wife was Burton-street, in October, 1857. They were then on good terms. After they separated Mrs. Crowder went to live in York-street. Witness came to London in 1859, and called at 22, Church-street, Soho, in consequence of something told to him by the petitioner. He saw Mrs. Crow der, .but he asked for Mrs. Thompson, a name she went I,y. He urged her, on account of the foolish and loose 1 fe she was leading, to abstain from it, as he thought her husband would provide her with a house. She shed some tears, and said she would not return, as she had charge of two children as a governess. The next day witness and his wife went to visit her, but she was from home. He did not see her any more on that occasion. When he came to London on another visit he went to 41, Baker-street, l'ertman-square, the house of Macdonald, a land agent. He inquired of Mr. Macdonald, and told him he should like to see Mrs. Crowder. He asked what he wanted with her, and he (witness) told him he had a small parcel to deliver to her. Macdonald said she was not there, but any parcel left there for her would be given to her. Miss Robertson said—ln 18:58 a Mr. and Mrs. Rickerby and Mrs. Crowder came to live at her mother's house in York, but she did not know whether Mrs. Crowder was confined there or not. As near as she remembered she came to London in 1858. Mrs. Crowder was with her. They went to live at Craven-street, in the Strand. Charlotte M'Donald, sister of the co-respondent, said— In 1859 Mrs. Crowder told her that she had left her hus band in consequence of his cruelty, and asked her, as her father and mother (Mr. and Mrs. Rickerby) were going out of town, whether she could board with witness, to which she (witness) assented. She left her brother's house in March, 1860, but up to that time she did not know of any thing improper between her brother and Mrs. Crowder. She recollected her brother telling her that Mrs. Crowder had been with him to Scotland. Mr. Snow said Macdonald was his brother-in-law. He told him he had been to Scotland with Mrs. Crowder. In 1861 Macdonald told him he had lived at Mrs. Bedding's, near Victoria Park, with Mrs. Crowder, as Captain Dixon, and that she had gone to a Mrs. Agnes's to be confined. Sarah Bedding said Mrs. Crowder took apartments in her house as Mrs. Dixon, with a gentleman whom she said was Captain Dixon. The Court decreed a rule nisi. The question of costs was reserved. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) SEABROOK V. WALTERS-A VERY NICE POINT OF LAW. This was an action to recover £45, interest upon a cer tain bond. Mr. Besley, for the plaintiff, said he would, to save the Court the trouble of reading through a long document, just state that a bond for £2,100 had been entezed into by the defendant, and a sum of £45 for interest was due upon that bond. His Honour (Mr. Kerr)—ls not the bond a document under seal ? His Honour—The document is a bond for £l,lOO, and for a larger sum than the cause of action now. The question is, if you do not divide your cause of action, which you have no right to do. Mr. Besley—l apprehend we have a right to gG for the interest, which is in itself a separate cause of action. His Honour—You may endanger the larger sum. Mr. Besley—An action was brought against the defen dant for £163, one instalment (£163), and that was settled out of court. His Honour—You see, Mr. Besley, here is a bond for £l,lOO, and you are suing for the interest, £l5. The act prohibits you dividing your cause of action, and you must show that you are entitled to sue in this manner. Upon this intimation Mr. Besley declined to call any witnesses, and cons,lceu with his client. His Honour—Well, Mr. Besley, what are we going to do ? If you go on I've a notion, and a very strong one, that you will lose your larger sum. Mr. Besley--I cannot jeopardise my client's right of action to the larger sum. Mrs. Walters (who appeared for her husband) wished to offer some remarks, but Mr. Besley said, " You do not appear here as a witness, but as an advocate, and you do not know anything about the case. Mrs. Walters—l know all about it. Mr. Besley-1 will elect to be nonsuited. His Honour then nonsuited the plaintiff, allowing Mrs. Walters 10s. costs, and remarking that she had a perfect right to appear for her husband. Plaintiff nonsuited. POLICE---THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH•STREET, THIS DAY. SHOP ROBBERY.—Charlotte Best, a married woman, of 9, Rotten-row, Bayswater, was charged with stealing from the shop of Mr. John Garmeson, Tottenham-court-road twenty-eight yards of cotton print, of the value of 16s. Alexander Munroe, assistant to Mr. Garmeson, said the prisoner entered the shop, and, on his asking her what she wanted, she said she was waiting for a friend. She then left the shop but returned, pulled down the piece of print, and then ran out of the shop into Warren-street. lie (the witness) then pursued her, and on his laying hold of her she dropped the property. She was then taken to the shop, a constable sent for, and given into custody. Sergeant Lawrence Ryan, E division, said two small ornaments were found on the prisoner, and he had no doubt the prisoner had paid a visit to some bazaar. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner.

A MORAL PLAGUE —How ARE JUVENILE THIEVES TO 33E PROVIDED FOR!—Owen Driscoll, a bare-legged and bare •footed Irish boy, only eight years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing a large quantity of lead from an unoccupied house in Burr-street, Lower East Smithfield. It appeared that the house in question belangs to the St. Katherine Dock Company, and between 2 cwt. and 3 cwt. of lead had been stolen. The whole house would have been taken away piecemeal if the police had not interfered and a good look out kept. The yeisoner and two other boys were detected carrying away lead from the house. One of them escaped, the others on being captured said they had been selling lead stolen from the house to a Mrs. Tobin, a dealer in rags and marine stores, and received 2s. 9d. for it. It was represented by Fuller and Kelly, police constables of the H division, who apprehended the prisoners on Fri day afternoon, that his father was at sea, and that his mother neglected him, and wanted him to be sent to a Reformatory. Roche, the gaoler of the Court, here said—That is all the go now, your worship, in and about Rosemary-lane. Parents neglect their children, drive them into the streets, and make thieves of them, and then speak to the police constables and ask them to apprehend their children and send them to Reformatories. Mr. Selfe said he would not send any children to refor matories and industrial schools without making an order on their parents to maintain them. The State ought not to be compelled to support bad children while the good were maintained by their parents. The police-constables believed that Mrs. Tobin had re ceived stolen lead of the boys, but she denied having re ceived any. The prisoner—Yes, she did ; she bought the lead of us Mr. Selfe directed Fuller and Kelly to arrest Mrs. Tobin if they thought she bad been telling lies. The marine store dealers in and near Rosemary •lane were a great nuisance, and fostered crime. There would not be so many young thieves if there were not so many receivers. Kelly said there was upwards of 1 cwt. of stolen lead at the station house. The prisoner's mother was a dissipated woman, and had been punished for neglecting her children. Mr. Selfe—lt is perfectly shocking to see a poor boy so neglected as the prisoner has been, almost without shoes to his feet. I will xemand him until Tuesday neat, when the other boys will be brought before my colleague, Mr. Wool rych, and he will have the whole case before him. DEATH OF DR.

On Wednesday last nine or ten hundred weight of gunpowder left the Penzance Terminus of the West Cornwall Railway for the granite quarries of Lamorna, five miles west of Penzance. The casks were placed on one of the stone-waggons used for the transport of granite—a flat bed of thick, iron bound planks, resting on two sets of strong wheels, and drawn by four horses. All went well until the load reached the descent which leads to the quarry —a steep and rugged path. Here the driver jumped off the waggon and took one of his shaft-horses by the head, at the same time applying his nave-drag. In an instant the whole of the powder exploded with a report distinctly heard in Penzance and for miles around. Gentlemen who were trout-fishing near saw a column of fire spurt upwards, and thought they distinguished two reports, but this double sound may have been reverberation. The effect of the explosion was wonderful—the escapes miraculous. The man was thrown violently forward —his clothes on fire, his back, legs, and arms burnt, and even his face scorched. The bed of the waggon was torn to matchwood, but the wheels and axles were unhurt. The road was blackened for yards, as if tarred; furze were blasted; huge stones driven about. The grey horse the driver was leading fell dead—the strength of the explosion showing itself by the protruding entrails. Its neighbour shaft horse was badly scorched, mainly about the hind legs and belly, but even its mane, face, and eyes affected. The explosion reacned the two fore horses; and their hind quarters, skin generally, and tails and manes were scorched. The driver and three horses returned to Penzance, and man and shaft-horse are in a precarious state. The cause of the accident is a matter of surmise. The man never smokes, and this last of his numerous casualties is a melancholy instance of the way in which ill-luck seems relentlessly to pursue some men. William Thomas is a remarkably steady, sober, and careful man; vet one accident broke his ancle, another both his legs, a third cost him an eye, and, to say nothing of minor mishaps, he now lies in agony from this last and terrible one. The poor horses, when we saw them the day after the accident, started at times in their stalls a explosion was again upon them, and the shock o the man's nerves must be fearful. — Cornish Telegraph. s if the THE COURT AT BALMORAL.—°Sunday last 11 R o yal Family attended Ruches of Ath o ll , / q rs .

DEATH OF A CENTENAIIIAN.—Mrs. Tracy, of Knocka, over whose head no less than 112 winters had passed, was interred on Friday, in the churchyard of Drom, near Templemore. She possessed a strong constitution, and was hale and hearty—sound in body and mind—up to within a fortnight of her death.—ffenagh Guarchan. The 'Journal du Havre, after remarking that the first quarter of the lune rouses had passed off favour ably in that part of the country, states that soon after the beginning of the second quarter a change occurred, that town having been visited with a violent thunderstom, fol lowed by heavy rain, with strong gales of wind, and a con siderably lower temperature, SHOOTING FOR A SILVER CUP. The last shot came, to decide the fate of the cup, whether it was to go to Applewood or Melsome. The bets were in favour of the landlord, for the mil ler was choleric and rather flurried. Brotherhood went first, he being already one ahead; if he got a blue this time he was the victor. A blue for the miller, and there would be a tie. The landlord fired first, kneeling; a steady hit and long aim; a careful, good shot. The red flag of danger suddenly appeared, and the marker came out to examine the shot. Much agitation ; it must be a white ; no, hurrah ! it was actually a blue. The miller knelt —anxious and too quick; he was too sure of him self, was the miller. The aim was perfect—full on the bull's eye. " Good for a liner," caned out private Barnes, who was betting on the mil ler ; but he pulled too quickly, the barrel flew up, and lodged the bullet exactly on the very top ridge of the seam that divided the target. E x _ cellent line," cried the backers of the miller—but the cup—the cup was Brotherhood's. His com panions now broke their ranks and crowded to con gratulate the victor, who modestly leant his chin on his rifle-barrel and said he " scarcely expected to do it ;" but you could see he did expect it, by the con tented twinkle of his left eye. The exciseman in a graceful attitude was relating to his adherents the exact reasons why he lost the cup; but these did not seem to be quite satisfactory; a comrade say ing, "But you pulled too quick." As for the miller, he was rather in a temper, I fear, for he said no thing, looked rather red under the eyes, and kept wiping away nothing in particular from his rifle lock. The ceremony of the day now began. " Form hollow square !" shouted St. Ives, nodding at Brotherhood, who looked as uncomfortable as if he were going to be instantly hanged, and fumbled about at his cart ridges, which surely scarcely wanted counting just then. The hollow square was formed. In the centre was throned St. Ives with the cup glittering before him on the table, its top-coat of brown paper peeled off. Sergeant Brotherhood—that grave, stolid, honest fellow, now blushing just like a girl— was called forward. St. Ives, in a short pithy speech, presented him with the cup, which he received with stammered thanks. The lesser prizes were given and the riflemen dispersed to lunch. Loaves were tumbled out of haversacks, great stone crocks of beer gurgled out their contents, and the riflemen formed a ring round jovial St. Ives and the wiener of the silver cup. I left them chanting out brave old songs, and went homewards. —Dickens' s " All the Year Round." FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. DOWNING-STREET, MAT 8.

A meeting of this institution was held on Thurs day, at its house, John-street, Adelphi, his grace the Duke of Northumberland, president of the society, in the chair. There were also present — Admiral Sir G. Sartorial, Capt. Sir G. Broke Mid dleton, R.N., C. 8., Thomas Chapman, Esq., F.R.S., V.P. ; Sir E. Perrott, Bart.; Admiral Washington, F.R.S., Hydrographer to the Admiralty ; A. Boete fear, Esq., Admiral Cater, Capt. Egerton, R.N. ; G. Lyall, Esq., M.P. ; Capt. W. H. Hall, R.N., C.B. ; Capt. De St. Croix, and J. Griffith, Esq. The Secretary read the minutes of the previous meeting. A reward of £l5 was voted to the crew of the Institution's lifeboat stationed at Grange, on the back of the Isle of Wight, for rescuing in eight trips, one hundred and thirty-four persons from the ship Cedarine, of Bermuda, which, during thick weather, had struck, near Grange, on the 2d ult. The Rev. J. P. Gaze, and Mr. Cutajar, the officer of coastguard, very laudably exerted themselves on the occasion. They were both thanked by the society for their valuable services. The cost (£283) of this lifeboat was presented to the institution, about two years ago, by the Royal Victoria Yacht Club; and truly their noble gift has thus already been of essential service to the cause of humanity. A reward of £25 was also voted to the crew of the Caister lifeboat, belonging to the Institution, for rescuing, amidst great peril, the crew of seven men from the brig Trial, of Poole, which, during a strong wind and in a heavy sea, was wrecked on the Barber Sands, on Sunday last. IR performing this service, the lifeboat wag seriously dam aged by coming repeatedly i❑ contact with the wreck. A reward of £1 10s. was likewise voted to the crew of the institution's life boat stationed at Aberdovey, for saving the smack Merrion Lass, of Aberystwith, and her crew of three men, The vessel had, during stormy weather and a high sea, struck on Aberdovey Bar, on the 22d ult. Expenses, amounting to £26 155., were also ordered to be paid on the Teignmouth, Palling, and Yarmouth lifeboats, either for assembling or putting off in the night in replies to signals of dis tress from vessels which did not, however, require their assistance. A reward of £7 was also voted to a boat's crew of eight men, for putting off and rescuing, at considerable risk of life, the crew of three men from the smack Lion, of Cardigan, which, during a gale of wind and heavy sea, was wrecked near Fishguard, on the 12th ult. A reward of £5 was likewise given to a boat's crew of four men, for rescuing, at much risk of life, the crew of three men of the smack John and James,of Chester,which,during blowing weather, had struck outside Aberystwith harbour, on the sth ult. Various other rewards were also given for saving life from different wrecks on our coasts. Capt. M'Donald, R.N., In specting Commander of the Coastguard at Banff, N. 8., was thanked by the Society for his valuable services in assisting to establish two lifeboats on the north-east coast of Scotland. During the past month, the Institution had sent two new life-boats to Dublin Bay—one to be stationed at Kingstown, and the other at Poolbeg. tS ome satisfactory trials had been made with the boats on their arrival on the Irish coast. Another lifeboat was building for Howth, near Dublin. A lifeboat and trans porting carriage were ready to be sent to Kirk cudbright, on the Scotch coast. The cost (£250) of the lifeboat and her carriage had been presented to the Society by a gentleman resident in Manchester. It was reported that a full-sized lifeboat, belonging to the Institution, was to be seen in the gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society, which adjoin the International Exhibition. This boat had been re fused admission into the Exhibition by the Com missioners, although their Naval Superintendent had requested the Society, on the 23d ult., to send her to the building. One would have thought that it would have been emphatically entitled to a place amongst the most conspicuous products of our skill, for while it would be impossible to overrate the importance of boats of this class, which were last year Instrumental in saving 743 lives from ship wrecks on the British coast, it is equally true that in their construction England stands not only unri valled, but almost alone. Foreigners are thus to a great extent deprived of the opportunity of estimat ing the perfection to which the British lifeboat has attained. Payments amounting to nearly £l,OOO were made on various lifeboat establishments. It was reported that on the recommendation of the Attorney-General the Lord Chancellor had ordered £4OO to be appropriated to the National Lifeboat Institution from elapsed Chancery fund. The pro ceedings then terminated. 'AI OF !ILID E. MANCHESTER, May 9,—There is little or no change in this market since Tuesday. The yarn market is exceedingly quiet, and sellers report that they do not find any business offering for any quarter, whether from demand for home consump tion or export. There is great firmness in prices, but no business. The weakness shown for some days past in the Liverpool market for cotton is, no doubt, one cause of the inactivity here, but the principal cause appears to be the uncertainty arising out of the visit of M. Mercier to Richmond. upon which so many speculations have been founded. There is also an impression that important news may be expected soon from the armies before York town and Corinth, and merchants are chary of any business at a moment when advices may arrive likely to have an important influence upon prices. The cloth market continues exceedingly fiet. There has been more inquiry this morni ng th an for some days past, but it h as not led to business. B u yers for several markets have been making offers, but at prices which are not accept able to manufacturers. Such offers in general h a ve n ot been of a magnitude to fairly test prices. Some reports, however, say that the cloth mar kets are rather weaker, and that the tendency of prices is against sellers, the better qualities of cloth being most firmly held, while inferior descriptions are difficult of sale. The market is fully as languid as any we have had for some weeks past. The con sumption of East India cotton still continues to in crease, and the purchases in Liverpool for the trade during the last month averaged over 20,000 bales per week, against little more than 4,000 bales in the same period of 1861, fully proving its usefulness when a fair trial is given to it, although there is no doubt that many spinners and manufacturers who use the lowest and cheapest kinds of this staple have much trouble with it, and that it is unpopular among the workpeople on account of the smaller quantity of work they can turn out with it in a given time, as compared with American. There are some peculiar makes of cloth, requiring m uch closeness in weaving, to which it is said to be un suitable, but the extent to which it can be used in the dearth of better staples is plainly indicated by the fact above stated. The prejudice at first started against it as being unsuitable f or the purp oses ,_ " ,,__ g' of printers and dyers may now be considered as having " Co" very little influence. Messrs, Cla rkson quantity printers to the Queen, who have printed of cloths made from this materia l for the Cotton Supply andn Supply Association, and w hich are now in the International Exhibition, say th e y never met with a cloth better adapted for e ven the most deli cate colours than they found it to b e. A good d ea l o f annoyance, not to say di s gust, has bee n exc i ted in a memorial l as t Indian mail, W hi c h h ad been brought by the commercial circles here, by she co py o f presented to the Governor-General by certain mei cantile houses in Bombay, having branches here, against the reduction of the tariff on cotton yarns and cloths imported from this country. It was rather startling to see the names of firms which in Man chester had taken an active part in agitating against these duties attached as firms in Bombay to a me morial in f avour of them ; but on investigation it turns out that a cumber of the parties who signed the memorial are merely clerks. One of the firms whose names are appended has a house in Manchester who were the principal promoters of a meeting in the Town-hall on the 4th Feb. for the purpose of " memorialising Government and of petitioning Parliament for the early removal of the protective duties of 10 per cent. on all cotton goo d s, and of 5 per cent. on all cotton yarns now levied under the Indian tariff when imported into British India." A member of this firm in Manchester 1 was _ also one of a d e p u tation which waited upon 0r d Palmerston on the 'same subject on the 21st Feb. * 1 O. 6 100 100 100 all all 1011 92i 3 991 98i I 101 a Share 100 etk 20a 204 10 100 174 stock stock stock .100 - 100 100 100 100 100 stock stock 100' 100 100 stock stock stock stock stoci stock Divi, * Fi made 20 28.2.8! 1
