( MEI' MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Rank of England return completed to the 19th March, shows some favourable changes, a large . addition is apparent in the bullion, and in the re serve of notes, while a slight diminution is observa ble in the other securities. The public deposits, as usual at this period of the year, have been largely added to by the revenue collections. The Govern ment Securities also show a diminution of nearly half a million sterling. The various items and the eh "ges they present are exhibited in the subjoined table : Active Circulation. .. .. £19,870,150 Decrease .. • • • • • • .. 143,535 Bullion .. .. .. • • • • 16 , 54°,586 521,475 Increase .. .. • • • • Lest .. . • • • . 3 ' 665:0514 83 Increase .. .. • • • • 6 Public Deposits 8 011 691 Increase .. • • • • • • 483,783 Other Deposits.. • • • • • • 13,310,928 Decrease .. • • • • .. 422,790 Seven Day and other Bills .. .. 613,359 Decrease .. .. . • .. 35,772 Government Securities • . .. 10,716,261 Decrease OG *0 00 GO 492,980 Other Securities .. .. .. 18,139,828 Decrease . .. .. .. 140,726 Notes unemployed. .. .. .. 10,451,435 Increase Although the Money MarkcA remains in an ex ceedingly steady position an early change is con sidered probable, and it is scarcely thought that the directors of the Bank of .England will adhere to their minimum of 24- per cent. much longer, when lower terms are current elsewhere, and they are experiencing a rapid decrease of business in con sequence. At the ensuing meeting of the Oriental Bank Corporation a dividend at the rate of 16 per cent. per annum will be proposed. A dividend of £2 per share will be proposed at the General Court of the London Assurance Office. At the Bank of England, yesterday, there were ho bullion operations of importance. The suspension has taken place of Messrs. F. Vague and Co., merely.nts, but their liabilities are pre sumed to be smal'L. At a meeting c/f the creditors of Mr. J. W. Shillito, wholesale grocer, the liabilities were stated to be £24,9,82, and the assets £1 2 , 208 . After s discuFssion it was resolved to adjourn the me ting for the purpose of enabling Mr. Shillito to a composition. ..A fair a moun t o f b us i nes s was transacted in the -L iverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, and prices bales. Well supported. The sales were about 7,000 Dales. During the last few days there has been less activity i n the markets for Fore i gn an d C o l on i a l P roduce.

Rice has b een dull, saltpetre reali s ed steady prices. Tallow 'as exhibited a further slight depression for late, present, and forward delivery. At the public sales of colonial wool just termi zated, there has been a good attendance of both home and foreign dealers, and except for fine and vaperior descriptions of Sydney and Port Philip, - Which were in limited demand, prices generally 'were well maintained. Cape wools, owing to their superior condition, were well competed for, and realised fully late quotations. The market for American Securities has been a , ‘ "e• Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co., state that r the d emand for Amer i can : S ecur i t i es s till con nues, and there has been an active business , Lra usacted during the week, but with very little 'variation in prices."

FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 21, 1.862, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(774 IB Day.) , BOW -STREET, EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK.—John William Nichols was charged with embezzling various sums of money, the prcperty of his employers, IViesa - s, Firmin, button-makers, in the Strand. Mr. Dalton, who appeared for the prosecution, said the prisoner had up to Monday last tilled the office of collecting clerk to the Messrs. Firmin, the extensive button-makers. of the Strand. From eirenertanecs that had transpired suspicion was entertained that something was wrong in his accounts. On being questioned by the manager of Messrs. Firmin, he admitted that he was back in his accounts to a considerable sum, and at the same time he gave in an account of the money he had appropriated to his own use. The embezzlement appeared to have extended over the last 18 months. Mr. Blayney, tailor, of Charing-cross, said—l transact business with the Messrs. Firmin. In the last year there was en account due to them, and the prisoner called on me for payment in the month of October. I believe it to be so, as I find there is no date on the receipt he gave me. I paid him £5 14s. in cash. I knew him to be in Messrs. Firmin's employ, from his having called upon me several times for them. Mr. Fredelick Lach said—l am an outfitter, car rying on business at 90, Strand, and deal with Messrs. Firmin. In the month of January I owed an account to them, and the prisoner °ailed upon me for it on the 30th of the scime month. I paid him £4 lls. 4d. He gave me the receipt, which I produce. Mr. Samuel Clay—l am manager to the Messrs. Firmin, of the Strand. They are button manufacturers. The pri soner was in their service as collecting clerk at a salary of 170 per annum. His duty was, on receiving money out of doors, to enter it in a book called a receipt book. The money paid by Mr. Blayney and Mr. Lach has never been paid in. On Monday last I had a conversation with him. I said there had been a great neglect of duty on his part in not collecting the accounts, and also I expressed an opinion that some of them had been paid. Tho prisoner said, "I am a defaulter." I asked him to what amount ) , and he replied, "£104." He then gave me a list of the accounts he had received and never paid in. In answer to questions put by the prisoner's solicitor, Mr. Clay said—l do not recollect anything else that occur red on the Monday. I did not givo him into oniatody nn that day, as I wished to see his father and acquaint him with the circumstances. JUSTICE. Sergeant Holmes—l was instructed to take the prisoner into custody, but I was informed that I n ee d no t t a k e any further trouble, as he would give himself up this morning. He did so. He said "I shall not oppose the case." His father was with him when he surrendered. Mr. Wilson—l should like to know what course your worship intends to adopt in this court. Mr. Henry said the last Act of Parliament passed pre vented him from dealing with cases of embezzlement; he could have done so had it been one of larceny. The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. Great Wi n d m i ll -street, ap pearedMARLBOROUGH-STREET . l e 's o m li p e la a i d n ' t made by I nspector C h ar l es CAUTION TO NIGHT-HOUSE KEEPERS _Mr. Frederick Ernest, a to of an t s h w e answer Bowles, of the C division, of his permitting drunkenness in his house. The case was proved by Sergeant Appleton, who said that on visiting the defendant's house he found 11 prosti tutes and men drinking in front of the bar, some of them being drunk. He called the defendant's attention to the circumstance, and then left, and on again visiting the house, found the same conduct going on. The sergeant being asked for a definition of drunkenness, said counter, heconsidered g against in pe st rsiotntodkruneep drunk wlienhe had to hold the himself up. Inspector Bowles said the defendant had kept the house two years, and it was very bacll?, conducted. The defendant had had his attention called to it over and over again. He (Mr. Bowles) bad visited the house, and s een p ros tit u t es and men of a low grade drinki n g there. The house was kept open till five in the morning, and th e persons turned out of other houses were admitted to the defendant's. Though no previous conviction had tak en p l ace, there were many complaints from the inha b itants. He wished also to state that two robberies had taken place in the house.

EXTENSITE BURGLARIES.—IMPORTANT CASE.—Frede rick Wells White, late a labourer in the employ of the North London Railway Company, at their factory, in Bow,• aged 40, and dwelling at the time of his apprehension at No. 12, Violet-street, Bow-common, who has been in cus tody since the 4th instant, was brought up on remand and for final examination and committal, charged with the commission of several burglaries and robberies in Bow and Bromley, and with attempting to enter the premises of Mr. Sundley, a merchant, in the New-grove, Bow-road. Mrs. Abrahams, an elderly wcman, and Charles Ben jamin Abrahams, her son, late steward of the Earl of Auckland steamer, trading between Rotterdam and London, were charged with feloniously receiving a portion of the stolen property, they well knowing it .to be stolen. Mr. Wm. Taylor, aged 50, a table cloth manufacturer, of Croydon, was charged at this court, on the 10th inst., with receiving four pieces of cloth which his wife had bought of her sister, Mrs. Abrahams, and three of which Mr. Taylor ordered to be burnt in his furnace on hearing that Mrs. Abrahams and her son were in custody. Mr. Taylor, who is a very respectable and wealthy manu facturer, was alarmed for the consequences of his wife's indiscretion when he heard his sister-in-law was in custody, was discharged, the magistrate remarking that he had acted very foolishly. John William Redway, a watch jeweller, of Rose-court, Tower-street, City, and formerly a police-constable, was arraigned with ,Taylor on a charge of receiving some of the stolen property and remanded until Friday last. He was then admitted as a witness for the Crown, and gave evidence to-day implicating Mrs. Abrahams, to whose daughter he is married, and her son. White is also mar ried to another daughter of the woman Abrahams. Inspector Korressey, of the K division, whose exertions in recovering the stolen property and establishing the case against the prisoners is deserving of great praise, said he had now 12 cases of burglary to prefer against White. They were all committed in Bow and Bromley, near the North London Railway line, which he often crossed and re-crossed in the night-time to effect his plans. Mr. Kerressey then produced a large quantity of valuable pro perty found at the lodgings of the prisoner White, in Violet-street, or traced to Mrs. Abrahams and her son. Tho Inspector also found 11 pawnbrokers' duplicates in the dwelling of White. They related to stolen property. Mr. Selfe decided on committing the prisoner White for trial, on the following four charges of burglary.

The house of Mr. John Roger Watkins of No. 1, Portland Villas, Bow - ro ad, was entered on the night of the 10th of December last , and two silver pepper-castors, t a a s b i l l e cloths stolen. st j o u len g, .silvTehresuregsairdetnocnegosf Mr. Ja mes M or t on Dunstan, 15, Mornington . road , Br omley, was br o k e n into, a shawl, and three on the night of the 27th of Decembe r last, and a gold brooch, silver sugar tongs , a ladi es' companion, two coats, a silk pocket handkerchief, and a small prayer-book, carried away.

Inspector Kenessy produced nearly the whole of the pro perty stolen from the above houses, which he found in the possession of White, Mrs. Abrahams, and her son. A pair of boots stolen from one of the houses was discovered on board the Earl of Auckland steamer, of which Charles Benjamin Abrahams was the steward. He had presented them to the second mate. E v id en ce was then given of Whit e ' s appre h ens i on on the morning of the sth inst., by a police constable named Atkins, No. 483 K, as he was attempting to enter the resi dence of Mr. John Mustley, Grove, Bow-road, Bromley. The depositions having been completed by Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk ; the prisoners were committed to Newgate for trial, and Mr, Selfe ordered the property of those wit nesses not bound over to prosecute to be delivered to them. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY IN SCOTLAND.—The Edinbuegh Courant learns that Lord Ivory has resigned his gown as one of the Lords Commi ssioners of Justiciary, to i which he was appointed n 1849, i n room of Lord Medwyn, who at that date retired from the J usticiary Court. Lor d Ivory was the s enior judge in the Justiciary Court, as he is still in the Court of Session, in which h e t oo k hi s seat in 1840, nine years before he received his commission for the High Court. It is rumoured that Lord Jerviswoode, who has had much experience in criminal cases, will succeed Lord Ivory. TILE PROT.ECTOR ENDOIPMENT, LOAN, AND ANNUITY COIEEPANY. The ordinary annual general meeting of the shareholders in this company was held yesterday afternoon at the offices of the company, 34, King street, Cheapside—William Smee, Esq., presided. The manager (Mr. Beadnell) having read the report (which will be found in out advertising columns), the chairman rose to move its adoption. He re marked upon the great benefits that had been accomplished through the instrumentality of the company, which held out to those who stood in need of immediate pecuniary assistance the greatest facility of having their wants supplied. The re payment of the money lent by the company was spread over one, two, and three years, and the interest paid for accommodation was as low as possible to afford remuneration to the shareholders. The company possessed the confi dence of the commercial world, and was then in a position to make immediate advances to those who required them. There was no expensive ma chinery to be set in motion previous to a borrower getting that which he required ; on the contrary, all he had to do was to lay his proposals on the counter of the company, and if the representations contained were true the money was immediately advanced. The report was unanimously adopted, the retiring officers re-elected, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. A FISR A WITNESS A COURT OF A singular incident occurred at the Stafford Assizes, last Tuesday, in the cause " Timmins v. the Birmingham and Staffordshire Gas Company," in which the plaintiff sued the gas company for damages caused by them in allowing the tank gas water from their gasometer to flow into the plain tifils well. Dr. Letheby, the analytical chemist, and officer of health of the City of London, being engaged as one of the scientific witnesses on the part of the gas company, he sought to prove that gas water could not have entered plaintiff's well because he found animalcule in the water. Mr. W. M. Williams and Mr. Bird, the chemical wit nesses for the plaintiff, suspecting that the learned doctor would advance the theory that animal life cannot exist in water tainted with gas, determined to give a flat contradiction by producing in court a live fish, swimming in a mixture of half an ounce of the gas task water with 25 ounces of pure water, having about the smell and taste of the water in plaintiff's well. Accordingly a fine healthy gud geon was caught in the river at Stafford, put into a basin, the basin filled with the above mixture, and slipped under a seat in court, ready for the doctor, should he advance his theory, which upon his examination he soon did, asserting most posi tively that the least taint of gas water would de stroy animal life, when, to his evident surprise, and amidst a general roar of laughter, in which the learned judge heartily joined, the basin with the fish swimming in it was lifted up and placed on the centre of the table, full in view of both judge and jury, and proving by his healthy movements that though the water was not agreeable, animal life was still possible in it. When the trial was over (which was in favour of tha plaintiff), the fish was taken back to the river, and returned to his native element apparently none the worse for his short visit as a witness to the Stafford assizes.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were very moderate ; nevertheless, owing to the bad condition of the samples, the trade was in a sluggish state, and late prices were with difficulty supported. The show of samples of foreign wheat was large, and all descriptions met a dull inquiry, at barely Monday's quota tions. Floating cargoes of grain were in heavy request, and the currencies had a drooping tendency, Malting barley was firm in price, otherwise the barley trade was dull, at about previous rates. In malt sales progressed slowly, on former terms. The show of oats was tolerably extensive, and the demand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state, at rather lower currencies. Both beans and peas sold heavily, at fully the late decline in their value. The flour trade was very dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Brands sold heavily, at fully the late fall in the quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt Oats.

"POET CLOSE" AGAIN.—The following letter was sent to the Secretary of State, in reference to Poet Close's " Christmas Book" :—" To Sir George Grey, Secretary of State.—Sirkby Stephen, March 12, 1862.—J. Close has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the presentation copy which Sir G. Grey declined to lay before the Queen, and begs leave respectfully to remark, that whereas Sir G. Grey has been pleased to keep the copy sent for himself, he might at least have had the courtesy to thank him In the name of the gentry of this and other counties who have so kindly supported him, he declares that in preventing her Majesty seeing what must have pleased any feeling heart, viz., the poems in memoriam of the late Prince Consort (of which the Bishop of Carlisle, Lord Wensleydale, Sir G. Musgrave, Bart., the clergy, and others, have expressed their high approval), he must pronounce Sir G. Grey's conduct an act of petty tyranny, which will reflect dis grace on the Government, as being a display of narrow prejudice to the poet of Westmoreland, who, although not the Court Laureate,' has sung his best, and shown the emotion of a loyal heart; and the best can do no more. The above correspondence will Fhortly be published, when the world can judge between the Secretary of State and the poor, unjustly persecuted..—J. CLOSE, the poet." A CROWN CABINETMAKER. The Literary Gazette gives the following description of a caricature in a late number of the Kladderadatsch, or German _Punch. It is entitled "A Crown Cabinetmaker," and the picture represents a workshop, in the middle of which the master (Napoleon III.) is busily engaged in polishing a new royal chair (Mexico). Many old broken chairs (Tuscany, Mo dena, Rome) are scattered here and there. His workman (Victor Emmanuel), pointing to a splendid chair (Italia), thus addresses his master :—" Now, master, I have almost finished the chair ; it requires only a bit of Venetian var nish and Roman antique for ornament , ' lc my good fel low," replies the master, "pray don't bother me now.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented against the modified Revised Code, and in favour of an amendment of the Irish Poor Law. EXCISE OFFICE, &c. Mr. COCHRANE moved for returns showing the amount received by the sale of the old Excise-office and Govern ment property in Broad .street, in the city of London, and in what manner the proceeds were disposed of ; whether paid into the Exchequer or otherwise ; and, the cost of the additional building at Somerset House lately erected for the Inland Revenue, stating whether it is large enough to contain the whole of that department, and, if not, the num ber of rooms occupied in Somerset House or elsewhere to meet the additional wants of the office.—Ordered. PHCENIX PARK (DUBLIN). Sir E. GROGAN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if any, and what, steps have been taken, or were intended to be taken, by the Government, for carrying into effect the prayer of the memorial presented to the Lord Lieutenant on the 10th May, 1861, relative to the planting of orna mental and other trees and shrubs, and the making of walks and pleasure grounds, in the Phoanix-park, Dublin, as has been done in Kensington-gardens and in the Vic toria and Battersea Parks ? Sir R. PEEL said that the subject had been under the consideration of the Irish Government, and they had made an arrangement for the ornamentation of Phamix Park. The subject, however, was still under the consideration of the Treasury, and no grant of money had yet been made. ROYAL COMMISSION ON Mr. INGHAM asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he would lay upon the table of the house a copy of the Royal Commission recently issued to inquire as to certain classes of mines P Sir G. GREY said he had no objection to produce the papers in question if the hon. member would move for them. THE COLONIES. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. BARTER called the attention of the house to the subject of colonial fortifications, and moved the following resolution:—" That, in the opinion of this house, the mul tiplication of fortified places in distant possessions involves a useless expenditure ; that the cost of erecting and main taining fortifications at places not being great naval stations, in self-governed colonies, is not a proper charge on the Imperial Treasury." The hon. member referred to commit toes that had sat on the subject, and said that the opinions of the members who composed these committees were ad verse to the system of fortifications that was being carried out from year to year. Some ef the witnesses examit ed before the committee stated that certain fortifications erected in our colonies were in situations in which they could not pos sibly be of any use. it is said that amongst the witnesses examined were the Duke of Newcastle, Sir John Bur goyne, Lord Herbert, and other distinguished autho rities on this subject, and he contended that the inference to be drawn from the whole evidence was that for the defence of our 41istant colonial possessions we should rely on our fleets arlltnot on fortifications. It oulfudrthienr, manythat instances prove very in case of war, these dangerous. He alluded to t he Mauritius and other appeared dtions even w self-governed colonies, and contended that their being called to construct forts, if necessary for their defence, out of their own treasuries, would not alienate their affections from this country, while it would render them self-reliant, which would form the greatest bulwark of their safety. (Hoar, hear.) Mr. CHILDERS seconded the resolution. He thought it was necessary that a clear principle should be laid down on this subject, which he considered would be effected by the adoption of this resolution, which would be beneficial not only to our colonies but to ourse'ves. Mr. CAVE said that , while he agreed with the hon. member opposite (Mr. Baxter) as regarded some of our West Indian and other colonies, he thought the Mauritius should be viewed in a different light. At one time no less than between £7,000,000 and £8,000,000 of property in English vessels had been taken by the French when they possessed that colony, and he regarded the Mauritius as valuable to this country as Gibraltar or Malta. The inhabi tants of that colony would view with no disfavour a return to French dominion, with whom their sym pathies were, and it must be the policy of this county to do all mite power to retain so iraf ortant a posses sion. He contended that if a single rock belonging to England were abandoned it would have the effect of weak ening the prestige of this country in our distant dependen cies. (Hear, hear.) Captain JERVIS opposed the resolution. He agreed that fortifications in our colonies should be es few as possible, but he argued that this was a subject which should be left to the Government of the day, as the politi cal circumstances of the colonies might be altered, and con sequently a different practice introduced. Sir G. LEWIS said that the question of fortification of the colonies, and of the military defence of these f ocolonies, could not be disassociated. The general question ocher evening, de fending our colonies had been deba ted the and in dealing with this resolu ti on tothe value of colonies to they must consider iner the question in reference . the mode in which the mother country, leaving . defended to the execution of the Govern they were to be . Govern ment. He drew attention to the fact that the 'United States and great Britain were the two great Powers, who wanted to appropriate the largest portion of the surface of the 'world to themselves, and he point e d out the different modes in which they proceeded to show that the tendency of this country was to colonize, and not to conquer. He contended that it was impossible to lay down any arbitrary formula on the subject to which the Executive Government could possibly assent, and he pointed out that in certain cases the expen diture would not only be wise, but economical in averting disasters from any particular colony. He trusted, under these circumstances, that the hon. member (Mr. Baxter) would not press the house to a formal division. (Hear, hear, and cries of " divide.") Mr. ADDERLEY opposed the resolution, and contended that nothing would be more dangerous than extending our fortifications generally. He alluded to the fact that in Canada the troops were unequal to the defence of that colony, and had the effect of rendering the Canadians un prepared for their defence. The effect would have been that if an attack had been made on that colony without the troops we had sent, and which, owing to the mildness of the season, reached their destination at an early period, it must have fallen to the enemy. Lord H. VANE opposed the resolution. [LEFT SPEAKING]. 1 LONDON GAZETTE.—(This Evenung)• FOREIGN-OFFICE, MARCH 20. The Queen has been pleased to approve of Mr. N. P.
