MONEY MARKET AND CITY NE WS, CITY, Two o'CLocic, There is a fair demand for money in the open market, and it is evident the applications are increas ing, as usual towards the end of the quarter. The terms charged for accommodation still range as low as 2-1 per cent., aad the inquiry at the Bank is con sequently very limited, but the probability of a further reduction in the minimum has attracted little attention in Commercial and Stock Exchange circles. A further sum of about £32,000 was taken into the Bank of England yesterday, and about £lOO,OOO in gold arrived from Russia. The Owen Glendower has been announced this morning from Port Phillip with £141,644 in specie: Accounts from Liverpool report that in the cotton market yesterday a very moderate business was transacted, only 5,000 bales having been sold, at previous rates. In the railway share market rather more activity was apparent, and prices were slightly firmer. There was a special meeting of the Sittingbourne and Sheerness Railway Company to-day, at which the bill in Parliament for leasing the line to the East Kent Railway Company for five years, and for other purposes, was agreed to after some dis cussion. The directors of the Bank of England at their meeting to-day made no alteration in the discount regulations. Notwithstanding the easiness of the Money market it was scarcely expected that any change would be announced, especially as the en quiries for accommodation are temporarily in creased, during the arrangements connected with the close of the half year. In the market for Public Securities to-day there has been very little fluctuation. The transactions both real and speculative having been limited, the effect they have produced on values has been 'Unimportant. The tendency, however, has been rather less favourable, in consequence of a f ew speculative sales. Consols, which closed yesterday at 921 I, are now. 921 1 ; and a heavy tone pervades the other departments of the Stock Exchange. The New Threes are steady at 821 93 ; the Reduced at 931 ; Exchequer Bills at 2 35. to 265. prem. ; India Loan. Debentures at 94-:- / ; and ditto Loan Scrip, 93! ; Bank Stock firmer Itt 219 to 221. Rather less animation is apparent in the market for Foreign Securities ; prices in most instances, however, are rather heavy. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 72 to 73; ditto New, 59 to 60; and the 4 per Cents, have advanced to 1031 ; Brazilian 41 per Cents., to 911 ; Peruvian Uribarren, to 801 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents, to 97k ; Mexican Stock remains at 184. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up ' to this day, are in round figures ,as under:— • . 9reat Western. - 1859. 1858; £37,755 .Z 37,783 ts orth-Western 72,455 64,426 south Western jighton 21,557 18,523 ' 41 .~ Idland Great 23,955 21,914 ureat Northern 22,354 18,683 4 431., eashire and Yorkshire y. 37,020 - 25,514 B ristol and Exeter 7,387 6,867 North Eastern .... 44 1 n,. caster and Carlisle.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Westminster, before Mr. Justice Hill and a Special Jury.) RUCK V. STILWELL AND ANOTHER. The further hearing of this part-heard trial, which has already occupied the attention of the court two days, was resumed this morning. His lordship ruled that if the jury found either that Dr. Conoly was part proprietor of the asylum, or that he was a regular medical attendant, then the certificate was not in terms of the statute— leaving Mr. James to move, as was mentioned yesterday, on leave reserved. Mr. James, Q.C., addressed the jury for the plaintiff on the evidence. The defendants did not lead evidence. The learned counsel submitted that there was prima facie evidence to show that the plaintiff was not a lunatic, and most decidedly not a dangerous lunatic, and that he was not a proper inmate of an asylum, but, in defiance of the evidence of that fact, he was illegally and improperly subjected to the treatment of a lunatic. He could not be removed by a writ of habeas corpus, because the certificates appear regular. And he could not be. removed by the commissioners without the consent of the private party, because it was a private confinement. He could only recover his liberty by the legal proceedings adopted by his agents. He was no lunatic, but suffering from the effects of intemperance—the delusions of delirium tremens—but the defendants did not attempt to cure him, but kept him there as a lunatic while he was suffering from these temporary delusions. Mr. Bar- net and Mr. Ruck knew that he was not insane, and Mr. Barnet had no right falsely to charge him with reckless ness and cruelty, and with a profligate expenditure of money, or going about with loaded pistols threatening to shoot every body with whom he was formerly on terms of friendship,; pulling down and building up walls, and engaging in dan gerous speculations. Dr. Conoly said that he had a delu sion of the inconstancy of his wife. Why, there is not a mad doctor in England, if he was locked up with the wisest man in it, when he came out, who would not give a certifi cate that he entertained exaggerated notions of his ability and wisdom, but that would be no ground for committing him, as a lunatic, to a lunatic asylum. The same obser vation applied to the produce of his farm. Extravagance in expenditure was also alleged, but not proved. The same observation applied to the charge of his being a dangerous lunatic. They were not proved. The whole charges seemed to be a complete fabrication for sordid gain, by keeping him in their Lunatic Asylum. And after he was discharged the defendant repeated his asser tions ilia letter in the public newspapers, that he still en tertained the opinion that he was a dangerous lunatic. The keepers said he was not so, and Dr. Stilwell said there was nothing the matter with him, and ferbids them to post letters for him. To leave a man, as he was, to be taken from such a pleasant mountain country as Wales, to confine him in an asylum with lunatics, where the keepers 'were forbidden to speak to him, or to cure him, was enough to make a wise man mad. The learned counsel concluded by asking for exemplary damages for such con duct. At the conclusion of his argument he was loudly ap plauded by the audience in court. Mr. Chambers, Q.C., addressed the jury for the de fendants. 'Th , e learn ed counsel observed that he was glad to hear the applause 'given to his learned friend, because he was satisfied that -it arose from a misapprehension of the true Staterhb case, by enlisting their prejudices in his 'favour, iris ad of consulting their better judgment, but the -jury would, not be led away by Such voluntary expressions. The state of the 114 Was such as would prevent the incar ceration of any person in a lunatic asylum without good foundation for so doing, because the Lord Chancellor and the Lunacy Comthissioners have'power to admit attorneys and doctors on the application of friends who are able to prove that there is an illegal detention. His learned friend's observations might have been applied to the state of asy lums during the last century, before the Bastile in France was destroyed by the French Reiolution, but the improved state ofsociety, and the daily improvements made in lunatic asylums in- thii •ebuntry,ind in particular the improvements introduced into the defendante , —balls, entertainments, and attendance at church, if they pleased—all of which Pre vents the application of his learned friend's observa tions. He is a public benefactor. He does not treat them by whipping them or -putting them on straw in -holes or corners as formerly. ' He was the first - io combat medical prejudices and introduced mild and lenient treatment in the cure of lunatics, find there is no charge of cruelty or bad treatment made agitint him—the contrary is proved. The learned coun sel having disposed of th e l a w and the treatment in the asylum, then adverted to the state of the parties, and contended that on the sth of November''' he was in a state of delirium tremens and' acute mania, and a fit subject for a lunatic asylum, and to be taken care of by a doctor and a keeper as a dangerous lunatic. The learned counsel then adverted to the certificates—the onus prob an el lay upon the plaintiff to prove that they were false with the knowledge of the doctors, but the contrary has been proved both in a moral and legal point of view. Dr. Barnet Was a regular practitioner in Reading, acid he stated the facts upon which the certificate was granted—false charges of cruelty against others, complicity of purpose and deter mination and unprofitable expenditure , of money, and taxing his wife with infidelity, and extravagant value of his mines and farms ; all of which came under his own observation, besides information received from others—not one of which is disproved, all which showed that he was a proper object to be confined in a lunatic asylum. He accused his wife before the police and public inspector of infidelity, and said they could still live happily together. He had de pressions, and said he would bestroy himself—all of which has not beendisproved, besides Mrs. Ruck's own statement to the same effect, which showed a strong reason for committing him. He was then a dangerous madman, had his delusions, and required to be cured. Besides, on 7th November, when Sir. Fisher, the barrister, and Mr. Wainwright, the attorney, visited him, they must have bi g uired about his cause of detention, and found that he was properly detained on account of vicious habits of intem perance ; and Mr. Ackworth saw him in March, and could do nothing to relieve him. On the 24th or 28th April he goes down with Dr. Seymour, who had been a Commis sioner, and saw and conversed with him, but they did not call to examine him to say that it was dangerous to let him out. He would have said he was as mad as a - man could , be, but he said that he should be sent to a private cottage. That wits matter of *pinion of which the jury would judge when the doctors dis agree, but it is not proved that they did disagree, about his delusions—he believed that Dr. Barnet was his wife's paramour, besides the other suspicions sworn to by the witnesses, and moreover accused. Dr.:Barnet with poison ing his wine. Besides the jury must! look to the facts of the case—the plaintiff must prove his case. The defendant gave him air, exercise, and amusements, and society, but no spirits and no stimulants, which was proper treatment, and he was justly kept there until there was a recovery from his delusions. The learned Judge having summed up, the jury retired; and after an absence of about three-quarters of an hour, re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, £5OO ; and on the other counts for the defendants, with power to move. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE PARKINS-TIME BARGAINS ON 'CHANGE This bankrupt was described as an autioneor in Grocer hall-court, and now applied for his certificate, supported by Mr. Downing, of the firm of George and Downing, Size lane, and Mr. Pook, from the office of Mr. Riches. The bankrupt, although described as an auctioneer, was in fact a speculator on the Stock Exchange. He had been bankrupt twice and insolvent once before. Under the first bankruptcy he paid 78. in the pound, on the others small dividends. He now owes to ,creditors unsecured £7M, and the property is small, a large amount having been settled on the bankrupt's wife, and the trade and personal expenses and losses very far exceed the " profits," which accountants persist in putting as an item in the accounts. His Honour said that, looking at the case altogether, he could not come to any other conclusion than that it had been a reckless and improvident trading, and he must mark it by the censure of the Court, by suspending the certificate for 12 months, and when granted to be of the third class. Mr. Downing applied for protection, which was granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TRIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Andrew Smith, an elderly man, the inventor of an electric On capable of discharging 60 shots per minute, described as an engineer, of 9, Vine-cottages, Lambeth, was charged with breaking nine squares of glass at the house of his son, Mr. Archibald Smith, e'ngineer, 'of 69, Prince's-street, Leicester-square. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the complainant, and said the defendant was charged, as on a former occasion, with annoying the com plainant, his son, who carried on a very respectable busi ness. There was no desire to punish him, all that was re quired being protection. The complainant having stated thht his father came to his house that morning and broke his windows with a stick, Mr. Beadon asked the defendant why he did so, and he replied that it was his own property ; but gr. Beadon in- formed him that the property was proved to be his son's, the proper way. and that ho had no business to break the windows, and that if there was any dispute he had better try the case in defendant said he was his recognisance to keep the.peace for 12 enths must pay the damage and enter into m The quite willing to pay the da mage, THAMES. IMPUDENT RODDERY.---TAVO NOTORIOUS THIEVES CONVICTED.—John Wilmot, aged 23, the son of a coffee house keeper, and Thomas Dobson, 23, were brought be fore Mr. Yardley charged with stealing 124 yards of canvas from the shop of Mr. William Roper, a paper hanger, of No. 18, King's-place, Comreercial-road East. Mr. Roper stated that on Friday last he missed a piece of paper hanging canvas from the inside of his shop. The piece now produced was the same, and measured 124 yards. Its value was 255. ' . 1 r.;. ” Michael Calnan, whose evidence was very VdiSus, and who made various excuses for buying the stolen canvas, said that en Friday last Dobson came into his shop and asked him if he wanted to buy some canvas. Wilmot was then standing at the door, but he afterwards entered the shop. Dobson said he would sell the canvas at a reasonable price. He asked the prisoner what he wanted for it, to which he replied three-halfpence per yard. He offered a penny a yard for the canvas, and the prisoner measured 95 yards (the roll), and he paid the prisoner 7s. 11d. fdr it. He said to tho prisoners, "Where did you get it from ?" Dobson said, " I work at some gunny bag work, and I took it in that way." Dobson gave him a re. ceipt, and, signed it in the name of Brown. Porter William Dunaway, a police-constable, 129 H, said he took both prisoners into custody yesterday in Back Church-lane, Whitechapel. He said to Wilmot, "Did you come with anybody to Calnan's shop to sell canvas?" He said no. He told him he should take him to the station-house, and he then said " I was with Dobson in the Commercial road all last Friday drinking." He told Dobson afterwards that he took him into custody for being in company with Wilmot, and selling some canvas to a man named Calnan last Friday. The prisoner said "I' know nothing about it, and only came up from Windsor last Monday." In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, the witness said that Wilmot had been twice summarily convicted, and was a very dangerous fellow, who had been mixed up in several infamous transactions, and was twice tried at the sessions and acquitted. He know the other prisoner Dob son to be the constant associate of thieves. The prisoners pleaded guilty. Mr. Yardley.--There is no doubt you are guilty, and that you are two notoriously bad characters. I sentence you to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months. • THE NAVY.

That it was so was not the fault of the designers, friends, or pktrons of the in stitution ; ttnd he strongly urged, all those who heard him to come forward with their subscriptions, and enable the managers of the institution to Make it -what it was really intended to be —an hospital which should Without difficulty,' or impediment. supply the wants of the -most indigent of our population.

A letter from Paris, dated yesterday (Wednes nesday), 6 p.m., says A telegraphic despatch from the Emperor to the Empress, dated at Colivergho, at half-past ten this morning, announces that the French troops were then occupying Lonato, Castiglioni, and Monte chiario ; so that they are quite close to the Mincio and the lake Garda. e are also informed on other authority that Prince Napoleon was at Massa, on the borders of Modena, with the object of marching north towards the Po, through the Duchy of Modena, considered as enemy's territory; but avoiding, carefully all 'violation of the Pontifi cal StateS, which he may easily do. The object of the Prince, who is naturally impatient to distin guish himself on the field of battle, is either to give the hand to the main body of the liberating army under his cousin, or to co-operate directly with the troops ascending the Po to besiege Mantua. As I have spoken of the States of the Pope. I must not omit noticing that the Emperor, who is not a little disturbed at the profound impression produced among the clergy here and elsewhere by the pro posed annexation of those States to Piedmont, uses his influence to induce his Royal co-liberator to make a formal disavowal of any.such designs. In some of the rural districts of France the priests.are said to have preached against the war, and have denounced what they would consider the predatory views of Victor Emmanuel. • What may take place on the Mincio is looked- for ward to with intense ,anxiety, and the fate of the war is felt to depend upon it. A battle is ,hardly to be avoided, of proportions far more important than Magenta. One of the first consequences, would probably be an' attempt on the part of the great. neutral Powers, such as Prussia and England, to- arrest the effusion of blood—to stay, if possible, the carnage of which the principal object is, under the pretence of liberty, to enable M. Cavour -to be Minister.of a more extensive State than Piedifiont. Prussia would probably think that the French ad Vance to the Mincio was sufficient, consistently with the safety of Austria as a German Power. There • may be no formal engagement between Prussia and Austria,,but it is thought in quarters usually well informed that what . may be termed "a 7approchemeht between — thein, • and that in this supreme moment the distance which their mutual differences and jealousies have placed between them. is becoming narrower.- It certainly is not for, the interest of Prussia or Germany that Austria should j be too much weakened, much less dismembered, and it is not unlikely that steps have been taken to ward off a catastrophe 'which would be all but in eiitable if Austria, while carrying on a deadly struggle with France, had at the same time to en counter her insurgent provinces. On the battle of the Mincio very probably de pends the fate of Lombardy, and Prussia may think that a defeat there would render it more necessary for Austria to preserVe wherewith to cover her Ger man territory against an independent Italy, which' will not be so absolutely independent as to be re gardless of the will of France. She will certainly be under French influence. The necessity alleged by. this Power of having a strong Italian State to cover her frontier against Austria still more strongly ap p' lids to her new southern frontier. 'The Venetian territory may be regarded by Prussia. as indispen sable-for that important object, and its invasion.by a French army as menacing to Austria as a Ger man Power. A battle on the Mincia then may be thought the best moment for intervention in the wayl fipeak of, and an attempt made to resume negotiations with a view to an arrangement. That arrangement will, doubtless be surrounded.by very, great di ffi culties,, but it is hoped that the concurrence of England, whose policy in this matter is abOve suspicion, and whose friendship the' Emperor is 'said 'not totally to disregard, will! be hrought to bear in inthicing the belligerents to listen to some-kind of ,reason.. , • - ~The questipn suggests itself as .to 'whether 'the EmperorNapoleen will content himself - vith having laboured' for the 'political and's:midi,- happiness 'of , lhe'ltalian populations for the' sole •10-Oe of human and remain with the simple satisfaotiOn of -having eiecuted what he calls his. u l mission", with , out indemnity or reward beyond that 'Which virtue' alone gives to those' who do her- behests. We' know, of course, that -France is sufficiently rich' to pay for her own glory; but hoW will it be 'Willa Third Napoleon demands that •someisquvenir, at- least shall be grai4ed to France ? ,oinething has been said of an engaement on, the part Cavour to hand over gavoy as the price of French co-operation; and the subject has been again . spoken• of in Switzerland with just feelings of alarm. If M. Cavour and Victor Einmanuel (Ego.et Rex Meus) ' have entered into such an engagement,,then the neutrality of Switzerland, guaranteed by treaties, 'is gone, and the Simplon will cease to be a bariier,' for it cannot be defended. The Swiss are beginning to feel alarm, and per haps that alarm may not be entirely without foun dation. The Emperor has, to be sure, disavowed all selfish motives in his Programme ; but some will have it that this is the very reason the Swiss ought to be alarmed. ' It is said that the French Government 'is rather disappointed at the contradiction given in the Ber lin papers to the statement in the Nord, that the Prince Regent of Prussia had written a complimen tary letter to the Emperor Napoleon, explaining his reason for calling out the six corps d'armee. Two divisions of the army at the camp of Chalons are under orders for the army of Italy. REPRESENTATION OF MARYLEBONE. MEETING OF MAJOR LYON'S SUPPORTERS Last evening, in accordance with public announce ment, a meeting of the electors of the borough of Marylebone was held in the theatre of the Literary Institution, Edward-street, Portman-square, for the purpose of hearing from Major Lyon an exposition of his political sentiments as a candidate for the borough. Mr. J. A. NICHOLAY, of Oxford-street, having taken the chair, Major Los was then introduced to the meeting, and was very warmly received. He said he had come before the electors of the borough, to explain to them his opinions before issuing any address, and he intended to do so in all parts of the borough. The great questions upon which he felt bound to address them were four. First, the foreign policy ; secondly, economy in all departments of the State ; thirdly, the question of Church-rates; and fourthly; as to the great question of Reform. With regard to the first point, at the late general election, the tone of every party on the hustings was neutrality —non-intervention. Now, that was all very well whilst the war was localised in Lombardy, but I they had not come to the pinch yet. If, however, it should extend beyond its present boundary, he thought that the Government should be stren uously urged not to engage in the war. At the same time he would maintain an efficient power of self-defence, as he thought that that course would be most likely to prevent aggression. (Hear, hear.) At the same time our armament should be kept up with the strictest economy. (Hear, hear.) The great coniplaint of the late Mr. Hume was not so much as to the money voted for the public service, but what they did with it. That they did not get their money's worth. (Hear, hear.) He believed it was admitted that there had been a debt of five millions incurred at the Admiralty, and. no one could tell what it was for, or what had be come of it. This showed the necessity for great watchfulness, and a determination to insist upon • economy. The question of church -rates was a the difficult prese o n n t G e,b o u v t er o n n m e e w n li t oughteichonslstd of more e to be o s r e e it t l a e l d e . t A ca s men than any which existed i n th e memo ry of tale nted man in that room--(no, no, and hear)--they wore the best men to settle it upon a proper basis. He was for the greatest liberality on the point. On the great subject of Reform , he was for the redis tribution of seat s an d t h ofall s mall the franchise, boroughs, distributing t h e members amongt larg er e removal constituenc ies. wi li th e t w he baasflolorta large extension of (Hear. The great mass of pers ons did not want th e ballot, but still it g ) was required for those who could not give an inde pendent vote without it. (Hear, hear.) If that borough were represented in accordance with popu-: lation, it would be entitled to 46 menibers, and the whole metropolis to 140. Major Lyon said he had sat in Parliament at the early age of 21, and was then a follower of Sir R. Peel, and he frankly con fessed that he bad voted against the Reform Bill of 1831 and 1832. It however passed, and his borough was placed in schedule A. When Sir R. Peel became a free trader, he (Major Lyon) changed with him ; and became a Liberal as well as a free trader. He did not ask them to pledge themselves to him or anyone else, but he should like to have the opi 'llion of the borough as to his fitness. (Hear, hear.) A resolution in favour of Major Lyon's candida ture having been carried, thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. MEETING OF COLONEL. DICKSON'S SUPPORTERS. Last evvening a numerous public meeting of the electors of the borough-was held at the Portman Arms, Milton-street, Dorset-square. Mr. GEORGE SALMON was called to the chair. Colonel DICKSON,. who was very well received, reiterated his political principles, and declared that as a Man of progress he would support an advanced liberal measure of reform. He was • for the entire abolition of church-rates, because he felt they had no right to tax a man for the support of a church, in the tenets of which he did not coincide. lie would resist any attempt to drag this country into a Continental war, under any ircremstances, and he would endeavour to maintan t inviolate the principles of local self-government. The gallant colonel concluded by expressing his willi ngness to answer any questions put to him, - • A resolution was then carried In " That this meeting having heard the political. A-di timents of Colonel Dickson, pledges itself to'ntik. port him, and to take measures to sec Al re his reboi l to the Commons House of Parliamen Thanks to the chairman terminate the proceed ings.

Yesterday, at the Liverpool police-court, Manuel ' Antonio Matta, and Angel Custodio Gallo (two members of the Chilian parliament), and Guillimo Matta and Benjamin Vicura M'Kenna (editors of a newspaper published at Santiago), appeared to prosecute Captain Leslie, of the ship Louisa Bra ginta, for illegally detaining them on board his vessel. Dr. Wheeler, of Manchester, and Mr. As pinall, appeared for the complainants, and M r . Deighton for the captain. After Mr. Aspinall had recapitulated the state ment he had made on the previous Saturday, Senor M'Kenna stated that he was the editor of the Asamblea, published in Santiago. On the Bth of December last a public meeting was called at that place, to consider measures for the reconstruction of the government of Chili. He and his three friends were present at that meeting, and during the proceedings they were surrounded by -a band of soldiers, taken into custody, and detained in prison for three; months in Santiago. His friends Matta and Gallo were members of the legislature, the one being .a representatiVe from Valparaiso, the other from Caderas. After being in prison for the time specified they were put into a close carriage, and escorted to Valparaiso by a company of 25 soldiers headed by an officer. The Aistance between these two places, about 90 miles, was ,accomplished in 30 hours. They arrived at Valparaiso about mid-day, but for Teat.of -pOpular outbreak they were not allowed to enter till nightfall, when they were taken to the wharf and shipped on .board the Louisa Bra • ginta. A company of soldiers received them on the gangway, and a few of their friends were allowed to communicate with them. They were not informed whither they were going, and about ,three hours after they had been placed on board the ship sailed under the convoy of a war steamer, which accom panied her about 10 or 15 miles. The complainants made no protest until the steamer, with the military on board, had parted company with the ship. Then, however, they told Cap . tain Leslie that he had been guilty of 'a breach of inte4national law, for which they could call him severely to account The cap tain replied that he was• under- contract with the Chilian• Government, and • that he must fulfil his contract.' They told him' that the 3,000 dollars which he' was to receive for - their 'passage, though four times the amount paid by ordinary passen gers, would he cheerfully ;uaranteed to him, with 1,560 extra 'for' himself, if he would land them at Arica.' The captain refused,- and their only alternative Was 1O 'remain by the vessel: When two days - out, and Opposite the Isle of• juan Fer nandez,. £he ,eaptain asked itthrey would like to be landed- there, .but , this they declined, the island being uninhabited. - :Senor M'Kenna then told the captain that they "should'' not further remonstrate with him, ba-that on , their arrival in- England they would bring hitn •to justice, and if necessary lay the case before the Foreignioffice. W. Hotton, chief made of the Louisae.Braginta; stated that the captain informed him' about 20 daytCbefore-the ar rival of the, coinplainantirthat-he, -, Was expecting some fiblrtical - plisongrs; anti. that preparation must ht made - for them'on hoard. He, witness, after the arrival of the • complainants was.. sUpplied with a pistol and ammunition, and so also were some of the crew, their instructions-being to use them in case of need. The agents at Valparaiso who signed the contract with the Milian governm'ent were Messrs. Huth, 'Gruin, and C. Mr. Deighton, after endeavouring to prove that there was no case, said he would take Mr. Mans field's decision on a case of common assault. Mr. Mansfield declined to settle the case thus, as it involved several points of• international law, which ought to be submitted to a higher tribunal. They might have the case dealt with summarily, by the captain placing himself under arrest for twenty four hours, and then by 'a writ of habeas corpus the case might be transferred to the Court of Queen's Bench. He (the magistrate) thought, however, the best policy of the counsel for the de fence would be to assent to a committal to the assizes. The captain was then committed to the assizes, two sureties in £3OO each, and himself in £6OO, being accepted for his appearance. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. A fair average supply of beasts was on offer in to-day's market for the time of year. Prime breeds were in fair request, at full prices. Otherwise, the beef trade ruled heavy. The show of sheep was tolerably extensive, and the mutton trade was in a very inactive state, at Monday's decline in value. The supply being large, lambs met a dull inquiry, and late rates were barely supported. We had a heavy sale for calves, at about stationary prices. The supply was good.

COPPER MINES OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA.—The copper mines. of South Australia are an admitted and a great fact. , Tha mines already. opened and in progress of development Which produce ores .of /ouch extraordinary high percentage in the yield of copper are solely confinsd to the northern districts of the colony, being all situated north of the town of Adelaide. The principal are the Burra Burra, Kapunda, Chambers, North Rhine, and Appealina. As a practical demonstration of these remarkable results, and of the peculiar richness of the ore, a block of malachite and coppeE ore has been forwarded from Chambers's mine, and is now deposited at the London offices of the North Rhine Milting Company. It is a sample of great interest, as well as value. Its weight is about 10 cwt., and the yield estimated at 70 per cent. of metallic copper. We be lieve that laeither so large nor so rich a block o f ore has ever before been seen in this - country.—Mining• journal) ANIB VISITORS' PLATE.

The decision had taken the,.board of -the' South Western by surprise, as well as the Brighton. We expected a deci sion in. our, +favour and the 'Brighton d ' expected a ecision in their favour, or entirely against them., The legal advisers of the SontfrWestern were of ()Pinion that the decision was bad -in la*---(laughter)—and the , company had entered an appeal against it. (Hear, hear.) As the decision at present stood, it did not entirely exclude them from the station; but only until the directors got the bill 'he was that day urging them to approve of and push forward. ' It would be satisfactory for the shareholders to know that the quarrel 'had not inflicted that mischief that had been anti cipated. The board of the South-Western had always been for peace and harmony, and to obtain that they had made many concessions. They had given up much, bit by bit, but now the directors were determined to make a stand. The hontentleman resumed his seat by advising the share holders to approve of the bill. . . The bill for the amalgamation of the 'Portsmouth Rail. way with the South-Western having been read, Mr. TITE said he understood that the present WM called a " Wharncliffe" meeting, to see wlether the coin pany would would proceed further with this bill. (Hear, hear.) With respect to what had been said about arbitra tion, the only arbitration he was favourable to was one to see how best the two companies, the South-Western and Brighton, could be made one. iVith respect to the Ports niouth line, he thought it was a bad one, and ought never to have been made, but in the event of the Chairman's pro position being agreed to he thought the shareholders ought to have some guarantee that the bargain with the Ports .mouth line should be carried , out at the price it at pre sent stood, in order that tiresome discussions should effec tually be put an end to. (Hear.) . • . • A SHAREHOLDER was of opinion that the directors had not acted in a fair and open manner to the sharehelders, and said he should move a vote of censure on them. (Laughter, and cries of " no, no.") The CHAIRMAN said the hon. shareholder was out of order ' but he could hand in his resolution, and give noti ce that he would move it at the next general meeting. [The shareholder then handed in his resolution.] He begged now to move that the meeting approve of the bill now before Parliament for the amalgamation of the Porte. mouth Railway with the South-Western Railway. • Count EYRE seconded the proposition. oßailbjectrays,tornondgslayidtohothshe After a few observations from Mr. HERAPATit, f th e l r.

Mr. TITE said if the board only intended to give £lB,OOO a year to the Portsmouth Railway, and they stood firm, £lB,OOO would be all they would have to give.
