MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. No further specie operations of importance have taken place at the Bank of England, but it is expected that another wit'ldrawal of £400,000 in sovereigns will be effected next week in connection with the Turkish Loan. There is a probability, moreover, of the general efflux of specie being augmented by the early despatch of a large supply of gold to Spain. Under these circumstances many parties anticipate a further increase in the rate of discount. At the Bank of England yesterday the transao• tions in gold were unimportant. The directors of the Recife and San Francisco and Pernambuco Railway have made a further call of £1 per share, payable on the 30th proximo. An extraordinary meeting of the London and Elackwall Railway Company has been called for the 10th of Juno next, for the purpose of consider ing and determining upon the exercise of their powers with reference to the raising of capital, the cancelling of old and the creation of new shares, &c. There was a much better inquiry f or all descrip tions of cotton in the Liverpool market yesterday, and prices advanced id per lb. The sales were esti mated at 8,000 bases. At the first annual meeting to-day of the Malta Gas Company, Mr. Edward Hawkins, jun., in the chair, the directors' report referred to the progress of the works in the town of Valetta, which are now in efficient operation. It was the intention of the directors to supply gas to the town of Corfu and other places situated on the shores of the Mediter ranean, although for the present they would con fine their operations to Malta alone. A very eli gible site for new buildings had been purchased for £1,860. It was proposed to set aside out of the profits £l2O as a reserve fund to meet contingen• ciei, and they also proposed carrying the balance remaining after payment of the dividend, and of the interest or dividends due to late proprietors, to the credit of a fund for equalising dividends to be called the " dividend fund," The chairman con cluded by proposing that the report and accounts be adopted, and that a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. be declared. The motion was unanimously adopted, and the directors who retired from office 'were duly re-elected. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1862. 1861. Great Western £56,003 58,878 North-Western South-Western Brighton Midland South-Eastern Great Northern Lancashire and Yorkshire 30,680 52,146 Bristol and Exeter North-Eastern Eastern Counties Edinburgh and Glasgow Glasgow ..a South- Western Great Western of Cau.a.

On the Eastern Counties there is a decrease of £2,313; on the Great Wes tern, £2,875; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, £21,466 ; on the North Western, £4,872 ; on the South Western, £333; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, £5,541; on the Midland, £5,860 ; on the North Eastern, £6,820; on the Brighton, .£3 677 ; and on the South Eastern, £1,646.

BOW-STREET, THIS DAY; A respectably-dressed mechanic, named Shane, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hall, charged with stealing lead from Hungerford Market. _ . Sergeant Holmes, 3 F, said about six o'clock last even ing he saw the prisoner in Tavistock-street, and from his manner of walking he suspected that he had stolen pro perty about him. He watched him to a marine store dealer's in Sheffield-street, Clare-market. He then saw him take two of the pieces of lead from his trousers pocket, and afterwards three other pieces from a basket by his side. He then told prisoner he was a police-sergeant, and that he must satisfy him as to how he became possessed of the lead. He said it was given to him by a man in Hun gerford.market ; that it was the first time he bad done such a thing, and he begged to be let go. The lead weighed about 441 b. The son of the prisoner's employer said he had been in the employ of his father for a number of years, and he was always considered an honest man. Mr. Hall said it was very painful to see a person like the prisoner charged with theft. The prisoner said one of the men engaged on the work gave him the lead as he had lost his hammer. Remanded. Two young men, named 13anzey and 'Williams, were charged with having stolen property in their possession. Police-constable Lambert of the E division, said last night he met the two prisoners in Hampshire Hog-yard, St. Giles's. The prisoner Benzey was carrying a bag con taining five pair of socks, one coat, one cloak, two shirts, one silk handkerchief with a picture of the Exhibition upon it, and one cap. All the articles were quite new, the socks having a shop mark upon then. He asked them if the articles belonged to them, and they replied "Yes, and that they were going home." He asked them where they resided, and Benzey told him, n. 11, George-street. Before he knew what was in the bag, ie asked them what it con tained, when Benzey said " Wishing." He told them he must see what that was, when cn putting his hand into the bag he pulled out the socks with the ticket on them. He told them he believed the pro?erty was stolen. When they got to the station they sail they had found the pro. perty, and intended giving it to the police. Mr. Hall said it was extremely improbable that the pro perty in the bag had been picked up. Remanded for a week. James Hammont, a blacksmith, was charged with in decently exposing himself in tle enclosure in St. James's park. The park-keeper said the offence was committed yesterday a lernoon, and in one of the most frequented parts of the park. Police-constable, A 1, said the prisoner attempted to commit suicide this morning in the cell by strangling himself. The prisoner denied the offence. Mr. Hall said the public were under deep obligations to the two witnesses who had given their evidence. It was seldom that a case of this kind c)uld be brought home to the person who was guilty of it ; tut where it was, he would always inflict the severest puxishment the law allowed. He then sentenced the prisoner to the House of Correction for three months with hard ]abcur. MARLBOROUGH •STREET, THIS DAY. THE ORGAN GRINDING lITTIISANCE. Bartholomew 'Tulle, an Italian organ grinder. living in Short's Gardens, was charged NI ith playing an organ in front of No. 11, Langhem-place, and annoying Mr. Newton Edward Jen nings, architect and engineer. Mr. Jennings said that on ihe previous evening about 8 o'clock the prisoner was playin; an organ in front of his father's house, No. 11, Langhat-place. Ho went out by bis father's orders, and sent hisbrother to tell the prisoner to go away, his mother being hing very ill, and her condi tion being made very much worse by the prisoner's play ing. The prisoner refusing to go away his brother went for a constable, and one came up, hit refused to interfere. The prisoner had been playing for 2 quarter of an hour before he was ordered to leave, and cortinued for a quarter of an hour after, and was a great annoyance. The brother of Mr. Jennings ;aid he told the prisoner to go away, but he refused, and asthe first constable refused to interfere, he followed the prisoner till he saw another constable,;when he gave him imeharge. A constable said the prisoner'old him in English thathe had only been three weeks in Laden, and that it was the first time he went there. Prisoner, through an interpnter, be gg e d the complain ant's pardon. locked . up all jenni ig ng n ss h ai t, to press said he° dirdnsot wish, as the m an h a d been tie case severely, only the nuisance must be stopped, as it seriously increased his mother's illness. Mr. Knox said he was boundto pay attention to the re quest of the complainant. He was aware of the nuisance suffered in consequence of the nen playing of these men, but at the same time ho did notes ish to atop all street music. He did not think, at the same time, that it would do to let the prisoner go and say to all his ceupanions—the grinders of barrel organs—that they couV. stop opposite the house where some person was ill, and Lt the request of the com plaining person, who might be wry humane when brought before a magistrate, get off with r slight punishment. rat for the intercession of the couplainant he shoald have passed a severe sentence, as the nuisance to students and professional men was in tolerabh, and still more so a> per sons who were ill. He should file the prisoner 55., or seven days; and he wished it to be triderstood that it was only at the request of the complainant that he passed such a sentence. CARD •SHARPING.—A Preaceman named Delobe, was charged before Mr. Knox with obtaining, by means of card-sharpie g, the sum of £2O fpm Mr. Michael Komerde, a Russian gentleman, of 4, I.cicester place, Leicester square, at the Angel and Crovr, Seddon-street. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Gress Marlborough•street, said the prosecutor was a Russian gentleman on a visit to the Exhibition. The evidence of the prosecutcr was of the usual descrip tion, the "three card trick" being the mode adopted by the prisoner and two others. Prisoner was remanded. MARKETS---THIS DAY. BURK -LA-NE.

MISS TODD AND HER COACHINIAN.—,c An Old Lawyer," in a letter to a contemporary, says he hopes the Earl of Essex will place in the hands of his solicitors the threatening letter received by him from one Todd, as the punishment for sending threatening letters is fine and im prisonment, to which corporal punishment may be added, and the latter part of the penalty would in the present case be peculiarly- appropriate. The vote of the Nassau Estates against the Wies baden gambling tables has been speedily followed by a similar resolution in the Baden Landtag, abolishing the rouge-et-noir of their famous spa.

A special general meeting a the proprietors in this com pany was held this day at the Waterloo Station, for the purpose cf approving of the Metropolitan and Thames Valley Railway. Captain MANGLES, the chairman, said the bill, as it stood, was to empower the construction of a line of railway from Twickenham to Shepperton, which was only about eight miles in length. The SOLICITOR explained the nature of the bill as it affected the South-Western Railway. The CHAIRMAN moved the following resolution :—" That this meeting having considered the bill now pending in Parliament, entituled an Act for making*railways from the London and South-Western Railway to Hampton and Shepperton, in the county of Middlesex, approves of the clause and provisions therein, by which powers are pro posed to be conferred on the London and South-Western Railway, with such modification as Parliament may require or permit, and as the directors shall approve." The resolution was carried unanimously. The proceedings then terminated. THE GREAT FEN DELUGE. LYNN, WEDNESDAY EVENING, The actual works in progress for stopping the, flow of water are as follows :—First in importance is the coffer-dam. A number of piles about 68 feet in length are being driven about seven feet apart, the piles being driven doubly, and a space left between them. When the whole of this kind of framework is complete, and the neap tide comes, it is proposed to drop perpendicularly sheets of wood encased in iron ; the iron plates are about an inch in thickness, and the wooden sheets about five or six inches, so that it is hoped they will be able to repel the force of the current. It is hoped to be able to raise this obstruction about three feet at each tide, that is, after they get the framework com plete, which will not be for at least another week. There are ten engines, but at no time are more than four of them at once ; and there being but one gang of men, who of course have to take their rest and meals, little more than 12 hours a day is made. The abandonment of Mr. Muller's dam, by orders of Mr. Hawkshaw, has led to a slip of a great portion of the bank 20 or 30 yards in length, and about 12 or 14 yards in width, and about 50 men are employed in filling up this hole with clunel, which has been obtained from the Humber, and brought here in small vessels of a light draft, which can get under the bridge, and come up to the north of the cut, where we saw several lying this afternoon. We understand that about 20 of these vessels, of 100 tons burden, are chartered with Yorkshire stone for these works. Respecting the whole which was se cured in the east banks there is much diversity of opinion amongst the engineers. Local engineers have taken soundings, and state that there is no improvement, whilst the engineer in charge of the works, Mr. Smith, announced in the morning that he had every reason to believe that it was being filled up as quickly as possible. Meantime the wide waters swell and surge by the motion of the tide and the wind, and all is desolation over the vast extent of the deluge. ALLEGED DEATH FROM THE ADMINISTRA TION OF CHLOROFORM. Yesterday morning much excitement prevailed at the east end of the metropolis, in consequence of the exhumation of the body of a Frenchman, named Pierre Peicher, aged 35 years, from the burial ground of the Tower Hamlets Cemetery, Bow-road, by the warrant of Mr. John Humphreys, the eoroner. It appears that the deceased, about a fortnight since, had been in the service of Sir Anthony Rothschild, the proprietor cf the extensive refinery, situated in Royal Mint-street, Tower-hill, where he had been engaged in the manufacture of new coin for the Government. He was afflicted with a painful disease, although ho followed his daily avocation. On Monday weer, the 19th instant, he wished to have an operation performed on him, and he was persuaded to have the assist ance of two French physicians, who were sent for, in conjunction with Dr. Marshall, of Great Titchbou rn -st reet, Leicester - square. The three gentlemen arrived at the residence of the deceased in Royal Mint-street, where measures were adopted to perform the operation. They then proceeded to administer chloroform in the usual way, when one of the attendants discovered that pulsation had suddenly ceased, and the patient was dead before the operation could to performed. The gentlemen became alarmed, and the friends of the deceased sent for Dr. Cook of the Minories, and his assistant promptly attended, and found life to be extinct. He endeavoured to restore animation, but his efforts were in vain. The deceased expired on the Monday morning, and was buried two days afterwards at the cemetery above-named, and it seems that the registrar of the death received a certificate from a medical gentle men to the effect that tle deceased had died a na tural death. These facts came under the notice of Mr. Humphreys, who at once issued an order to have the body exhumed, and it was removed in a hearse yesterday to the parish dead-house to await an inquest. The coroner has issued an order for a peat-mortem examination, and Dr. Letheby, of the London Hospital, has been directed to make an analysis of the contents of the stomach. SHIPPING-THIS DAY.

The Spanish General P ( rim who is u either b ro ther-in-law b ro ther-in-law or son - in - law of Doblado) was sent to Mexico with the design, on the part not only of himself but to o f the Spanish Government, set up as President ; and once in that position he was to pave the way, as opportu nities might serve, for the advent of a Spanish prince. This design became known to the French, and was openly charged against Prim at a Council, and an intimation made that France would act independently of Spain, though she had no objection to ha ve th e a id o f Spanish forces in so acting. General Prim, not denying the charge, assuraed badigutiou, sad withdrew his forces.

Mr. LINDSAY gave notice that, on going into Commit tee of Supply cn the 27th proximo, he would move a reso lution on the subject of our relations with America—Federal and Confedcrato. THE WRECK OF THE MARS. Mr. D. FORTESCUE asked the Secre ary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been called to the fact, as alleged, that no inquest had been held on any of the bodies washed ashoro on the coast of Pem brokeshire, from the wreck of the Mars steamer in April last, and that official inquiry had been instituted into the causes that led io that disaster? Sir G. GREY said that the bodies of the deceased were under the jurisdiction of the local authorities, and therefore it was not considered necessary to issue any inquiry from the Home-office as to the cause of death. HE RAT. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether, on the conclusion of the last Per sian war, by the evacuation of Herat by the Per sians, Ahmed Jan, the Sultan or ruler of Herat, did not acknowledge the sovereignty of the Shah by performing allegiance to him, and having the coinage struck in the name of the Shah : Whether it was not the case that this same Sultan of Herat, either with or with out the assistance of Persian :troops, was now marching on Candahar, that the sons of Dost Mahommed of Caubul were marching against him, and that there are imminent probabilities of war breaking out in those regions ; and whether, in case of the occurrence of any such hostilities, it would be the intention of her Majesty's Government, or of the Indian Government, to inter vene in any way, either for or against any of the powers of Central Asia, or to extend any operations designed for the security of India beyond the limits of the great mountain passes which form the present frontier of that country. Lord PALIIERSTON said that the relations of the Government of Persia with the Affghanistan territory had been arranged by a treaty of 1827. By that treaty the Shah of Persia was not entitled to claim sovereignty in Affghanistan, or to exact tribute from that country. It was also arranged that In the cases of mutual differ ences between Persia and Affgbanistan the good offices of this country should be used to effect a satisfactory arrangement between the parties. With regard to the present state of Herat, the troops had retreated from Poonah, and the chances of hostilities in Candahar were very much diminished. He believed that there were no Persian troops engaged in these hostile operations. Mr. GRIFFITHS wished to know what course Govern• ment intended to take in reference to the disturbances at Herat. —We are dispose d to treat L or d PALMERSTON said this matter as a dispute entirely between the different states of Affghanistan; but if our Indian empire bo threatened, then it would be necessary to adopt such means as the cir cumstances of the case mig ht re q uire. (Hear, hear.) THE LATE M. THIEBAULT. Mr. SCULLY asked the Chief Secr eta were orry for would be stationed at or near the spot where the late M. Thiebault was murdered; what was the estimated cost cf such force ' • an d would it be charged on the occupiers of any and which particular townlands ? Sir R. PEEL said that the Government had sent a num ber of policemen to t he nei g hbourhood of the recent murder in Ireland, and th e'charge of these policemen would be £35 per annum. The practice was to make the charge of such extra force on the town, and when the circumstances However, as this of the ed. late M. Thiebault, that wpropert yas r ennodtbeeprlerodonpgoi e t s de ant to e the e h s ce s h a ra r er y laa et o i etvhceuas rt or immediate locality with the cost of this extra force. Mr. GR T E H G E O D R E Y E a N sk C ed the E COMMISSIONERS. Secretary of State for War if the evidence taken before the Defence Commissioners would be laid before the house, together with the report. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the report was printed, but was presented to the house without the evidence, in conse quence of the desire of hon. members to have it before them without delay. However, that evidence was being printed, and would shortly be presented to the house. IRON-CASED VESSELS (ENGLISH AN D Mr. LINDSAY askedF RthEeNfiCrHst)* Lord of the Treasury it he had any objection to lay upon the table of the house a return of the number of iron - cased ves sels built and build ing, or in course of conversion, for the use of her Ma jesty's navy : and a copy of the list in the possession of her Majesty's Government of the thirty-six iron-cased ships said to be built or building for the Government of France, with the state of progress, and tonnage of each vessel, as far as practicable, and in both cases distinguish ing sea-going ships from float'ng batteries. Lord PALMERST ON said there was no objection to to lay on the table all the information required relative English vessels. As regarded French ships theremould be no difficulty in getting i nformation respecting the IRON FOR GOVERNMENT SHIPS. Lord R. GROSV ENOR asked the Secretary to th e Ad miralty w hether, considering the g reat importancehich w attac h e s to the quality of iro n, both for building and for plating ships, the Government proposed to take any new steps for securing a supply of iron for the purposes of the navy of the best quality ? Lord C. PAGET said that from t h e importance of the subject the Admiralty had taken all the steps that was ne cessary in order to secure the best iron for the use of the navy, rresent contracts would be brought to a close, and a number of scientific men would be consulted with a view to effect the object of Government. NATIONAL SCHOOLS, IRELAND. Mr. WHITESIDE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether any rule had been framed by the National Board of Education in Ireland which permitted the use of prayer at the opening of a school and during school hours. Sir R. PEEL said that if the hon. member referred to the rules 12, 14, and 16 of the board, he would find provi sion had been made by which the parents of children could have them removed, if they objected to the reading of prayers in the schools. CIVIL SERVICE APPOINTMENTS. Mr. HENESSEYasked the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government had taken any steps to carry ou t the recommendation of the select committee on Civil Service appointments, to the effect " that the experiment of open competition for junior clerkships, tried at the India Board in 1959, be repeated from time to time in the other depart ments of the Civil Service ?" Lord PALMERSTON said that the present arrange ment for examination of candidates was that they should first pass the standard test, and then when a vacancy occurred a list of such candidates should be submitted for examination in order to supply the vacancy, It was not intended to extend that arrangement. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL. The house then resumed committee of progress on ths bill. Clauses to 8 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 9, Mr. HENNESS Y moved a resolution to the effect that no orphan or deserted child shall be received into a workhouse until after the age of two years. The house divided, and the numbers were— Ayes .................... 33 Noes .............. 177 Majority ........ —144 The amendment was accordingly lost. [LEFT SITTING.] EMBEZZLEMENT. The Court of Assizes of the Seine was engaged yesterday in trying a man named Dexheimer, aged 41, recently cashier of M. Billet, stockbroker, on a charge of appropriating to his own use the large sum of 1,092,734 f., entrusted to him by his employer. Two other persons, a youn g woman named Forrelle, aged 25, with whom Dexheimer cohabited, and a Swiss named Diggelmann, were charged as accom- ices. The prisoner Dexheimer entered the service of M. _ebel-Cointet, agent-de -change, as cashier, in November _852, and had charge of all the sh ares, bo nds , and other securities, entrusted to h's employer. He fulfilled the duties of his office satisfactorily till January, 1856, when M, Lebel- Cointet sold his charge to M. Billet. During that year the business of the house increased to such an extent that Dex heii!mes duties were more than doubled, but, instead of asking for assistance, he undertook the additional work, and, as all payments were made by him, he had large sums, under his care. He then f e ll i n t o a dissolute course of life, kept several mistresses, at a cost of 500 fr. a month each, and also the prisoner Ferrelle, who exercised unbounded influence over him, and obtained from him the means of living in the most extravagant s tyl e . T o meet these out goings, Dexheimer embezzled the property entrusted to his charge, but as the cash in hand and cash-book were too often verified for him to appropriate large sums without danger of immediate discovery, he sold the securities con fided to his keeping, and was thus able to follow his ruinous course till April, 1861. In that month M. Leclerc, a partner, wanted 400 shares of the Northern Railway. Dixheimer could produce only 225. Leclerc then applied to M, Billet, who sought in vain for the 175 missing shares. On the day after this discovery Dexheimer did not attend at the office, but M. Billet, still confident in his honesty, went for him, and induced him to return, for the purpose of verifying the accounts. A few days after, 150 Lyons Railway shares were missed. Dexheimer then absconded to Holland, whence he was brought back to Paris. On a complete examination of the books and securities in hand, it was found that the deficiency amounted to 1,092,734 fr. The prisoner Ferrelle was also arrested on the charge of having received a considerable part of the money, knowing it to be stolen. The third prisoner, Diggelmann, by some means discovered the secret of Dexheimees prodi galities, and by threatening to denounce him, obtained various sums of money, amounting in all to 15,000 fr. In answer to questions from the President, Dexheimer, who fully acknowledged his crime, and appeared extremely peni tent, stated that although the loss to his employer was above a million, the money he had spent was only about 550,000 f., as he had paid the coupons on the shares sold, and when shares were demanded he had often been com pelled to purchase at much higher prices than he had sold. He estimated the amount spent on Ferrelle in four years at from 250,000 f. to 300,000 f. The last-named prisoner answered the President's questions with shameless effron tery, for which she was reprimanded more than once. She maintained that she had not received above 200,000 f. from Dexaeitner, and that she had always believed him to be M. Billet himself, Several witnesses, however, clearly proved that she well knew Dexheimer to be only Billet's cashier. Diggelmann, in his defence, declared that the money he had received from the prisoner was advanced for the purpose oZ establishing a itant.t.• factory of artificial marble, but he admitted that he had been the means of introducing several women to Dexheimer, and his explanations repeatedly called forth expressions of disgust from the president. After hearing the public pro secutor and counsel for the prisoners, the jury retired to consider their verdict. In an hour they returned into court with a verdict of acquittal in favour of Diggelman, and of guilty, with extenuating circumstances, against Dexheimmer and Ferrelle. The president then ordered Diggelmann at; liberty, and told the gendarmes to turn him out of the court. The other two prisoners were each condemned to five years' imprisonment, and Dexheimer to .001 r. fine in addition.—Galignani. The Duke of Wellington has consented that Apsley House shall be opened to the public, under fowler regulations. Tickets can be obtained at Mr. Mitchell's Royal Library, 33, Old Bond-street. DISCOVERY OF A FOSSIL BONE.--A few days ago, in digging the foundation for the new piers at the harbour of Alloa, the workmen came upon a bone imbedded amongst the clay, about ten feet below the undisturbed alluvial de posit of the river, and a little above a gravel bed boneconta ing oyster and other marine shells. O n examination, the was ascertained to be the lower jaw bone of the wild boar. From the long period in which it must have been imbedded a mongst the clay it has becam e perfectly black, the ce of poteeth retaining their enamel, an d having the appearan lished ebony. The jaw bona is about seven inches in length, though considerably mutilated at both ends. The tusk is six inches in length, the greater part, however, being inserted in the jaw. It is impossible accurately to determine how long it is since this bond was buried in the spot where it was found, or by shat accident it came to be washed down the current and imbedded in its silt. It may, however , be safely averred that man y ages hav awa y since the wi ld boar who owned this jaw bone roamed as in forests long since extinct, hunted it may be by our rudo ancestors in one or other of the extensive forests so plenti ful i n primitive times in old Caledonia.—Alloa Journal.
