IZr).i%E.l' MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Money Market, notwithstanding the con tinued quietude of the demand for commercial pur po►:es, is rather firmer, as the banks and private esttlblishments anticipate greater activity during the next fortnight, Owing to the usual quarterly disbursements, and the extensive revenue collec tions. No change of importance is expected, but it hi quite probable that slightly enhanced terms will be asked for the negotiation of the best qualities of mercantile securities. At present, however, accom modation is still obtainable, at quotations ranging fuily -} per cent, below the minimum of the Bank of -England. At the half-yearly court of the Bank of England pr oprietor§, held this day—Mr. Alfred Latham in the chair—a dividend of 4 1 4 per cent. was declared payable, without deduction of income tax, on the sth April next. The net profits for the half-year en ding 28th Febructry last were £609,8t8 14s. 2d., nmkiog the amount of the "Rest" on that day £3,633,827 18s., and after providing for the present dividend the " Rest" will be £3,015,325 Bs. The dividend warrants will be paid on the 7th April.

Early in January Pitt brought , him the bill in question, which had been drawn at the cu d of the previous September by the prisoner upon one Jacob Groves, a lockmaker, of Willenhall, who was a cus c,-"ler of the firm. The bill had been dishonoured by l 'e'res after it bad been discounted by a bill troker, to Nrh o 1 11 it was presented by the prisoner, Groves main . : L *tg that the signature was a forgery.

POLIO& iNTBLLIGENCE.(77Iis Day.) BOW-STREET. A young man named Taylor, and a woman named Pierce, was charged with assaulting the police. Police-constable, 177 F, said he was called to the Ship public-house, in Hanover-court, and found the male pri soner quarrelling. T wo men were holding him to prevent him doing any injury, and as- he (constable) was getting him out of the house he was kicked very severely by him. The female prisoner was lying on the top of the man to prevent his being taken into custody. The female slapped his face and pulled his hair. The male prisoner said he was so drunk he did not know what he did. The woman also said she was too drunk to remember anything. The magistrate fined Taylor 20s. for the assault, and Pierce ss. for being drunk. A little boy, aged 9, who said his name was Zac Turner, was charged with stealing a bunch of carrots from Covent garden Market. The owner of the property said it was quite safe when she left last night. Mr. Hall—The property cannot be very well looked after, and the wonder is you are not robbed to a much greater extent than you are, Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk—The police are not allowed to act in the market, 118 it is private property. Mr. Hall—The market beadles, I suppose, look after the goods ? Complainant—No, they don't. If we speak to the beadles about looking after the property they say they are not paid for looking atter the goods, but for the protection of the Duke of Bedford's property, Mr. Hall—Why don't the whole of you make a proper representation to Bedford office Complainant—We have done so often, but it's of no use. Inspector Witham—The property will never be properly protected until the police have authority to act in the market. The boy was put back in order that inquiry might be made about him.

On Wednesday week my uncle took me out for a walk into the Regent's park in the afternoon. We afterwards went to a coffee shop in Rathbone-place, where we had some tea. While there he put his hand up my clothes. I told him to leave off, o r I too would indelicate tell my to be mother. thr . given sported.) He put his hand over my mouth. We than left the house and w en t h ome t o my e mother's. I did not tell my mother till Sunday last. There was no one else in the room besides my uncle and me. By Mr. Tyrwhitt—We were in the house three-quarters of an hour altogether. By Mr. Beard—l told him I should tell my father, but I did not do so, or take any notice. I have only once stayed at my uncle's house for three weeks, and Sunday was the first time I mentioned it to my mother. My uncle was given in charge last night at his own house. I have got a brother an idiot, and I attend on him. I did not like to tell my motherwff the l t l rie h cl aci to n c o al e l ll o a u n t, ce but he put his hand on ee shop. my mouth. I told my mother he pulled up my clothes— nothing more. The boy from the coffee shop, Joseph Crossingham, was called and said—The gentleman asked if they could go up and wash their faces, and he showed them to a bedroom, but they were not there long. Mrs. Sophia Butler, mother of the girl, said—On Sunday I spoke to my daughter, who complained of illness. She told me that she had been ill ever since she went out with Mr. Clark, and that she had dreadful pains. I afterwards had her examined by Dr. Davis, who said she had been shamefully Mused, and then 1 had the prisoner taken into custody. I saw marks of ill-treatment. My daughter is an irate igent child. I am on good terms with the prisoner. ---' - - - Mr. Beard said the prisoner was a man h o ldi ng a it -respect able position in society, and was scarcely possible to be lieve that he 'would act in the way stated, and he (Mr. Beard) was prepared with witnesses to speak of the pri soner's high moral character, he being a married man with grown up sons. Mr. Tyrwh!tt said he should remand the prisoner till to morrow week for the attendance of the doctor. Bail, on the application of Mr: Beard, was taken f r the prisoner's appearance, himself in £3OO and two sureties in £l5O each.

The society was called "The First Eastern Division Chelsea Pensioners' Burial Fund," and the contributions were 2s. per quarter. Her late husband joined the society at its conamencement, became a free member in 1848, and regularly paid his quarterly contributions. The last, a sum of 25., was paid by herself on Dec. 31 last, four days prior to her hus band's death. On applying to the secretary for the Xd to which she was entitled by the rules, he said the society was broken up, and gave her a sovereign only, The applicant produced her contribution book to prove that 2s. a quarter had been regularly paid for 15 years. This morning, Howland, 89 - H, one of the summoning officers of the court, said he had made inquiries of Mr. Mills, the secretary of the Chelsea Pensioners' Burial Society, who said the accounts of the society were audited in December last, and a balance of Bd. only was all that the society possessed, and that the bankrupt state of the society was owing to the many deaths am'ng the members last year, and the consequent heavy demands on the society, that a committee was formed, and it was suggetted that the contributions should be increased to 3s. per quarter to meet any demands that might arise, but the suggestion was not adopted. Mr. &He asked if the socio'y was enrolled. Howland—lt was not, sir. Mr. Selfe said he was very sorry indeed for the poor woman, who had paid in fifteen years £6, exclusive of the interest on the money, and had only received £l. The tables of the society must have been very badly calculated to lead to the results stated. As the society was not an en rolled one he could not grant a summons, but he could not help observing that it was somewhat extraordinary the secretary should have received 2s. of the poor woman on the 31st of December last, when he knew the society was bankrupt and unable to meet its engagements. THE REVISED CODE-LORD Si. LEONARDS' RESOLUTIONS. The following are the resolutions in regard to the revised node of which Lord St. Leonards has given notice, but without fixing a day:- 1. That it is inexpedient altogether to exclude religious subjects from the examination. 2. That the new system is based upon results. No result Is more important than the general aspect and etAudition of a school, which therefore should be encouraged and paid for as a teßilt. 3. Writing of itself is a most important branch of learn ing in national schools, and should therefore be encouraged and paid for upon its own merits. For writing from dicta. tion a small additional sum might be given. The heading in the code is " Writing ;" the thing required is "writ= hag from dictation." 4. The requirements in a rithmetic i n group s 11/. and IV. are beyond the ordinary ca p acities of the boys and girls to bee xamin and. sh ou l d therefore lm moderated.ed in those groups, - s. — Although arithmetic is required for girls as well as boys, yet girls do not require the same extent of k no wl e dg e on that head as boys do, an d dis tinction, ther e f ore , s h ou ld be made between the sexes.

The trial of the examina tion according to the pro posed groups upon a vi l lage national sc h oo l, as shown by the annexed papers, goes far to prove the necessity of revising the gro u p in g before the revised node is called into action. e a l d e o g p r ted ap . h he subject ne a t week. ted that --oPeful views wereen- L C or o d m p p al an m y er 's sto m w e w et o i u n l g d yesterday ,deatehnpAeduttriaeltatpiwnoornattiscownsastaTt THIRD EDITION.

LEONARDS presented petitions against the revised code, Lord CRANWORTH presented several petitions against the revised code. Lord BELPER presented 26 petitions against the revised code. The Bishop of CHICHESTER also presented similar petitions. Petitions Wert, oleo presented to a sim;lar effect by the Earl of Derby, Lord Chelmsford, Lord Redesdale, the Bishop of London, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Chichester, Lord Colville, Lord Kingsdown, the Arch bishop of Canterbury, the Marquis of Normanby,and seve ral other peers. THE INSOLVENCY COURT OFFICERS. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he felt obliged to mention a subject which he would willingly have let pass. The Bankruptcy Bill was read a second time in the House of Commons on the 14th of Feb. It went into committee on the 18th, and was fully discussed on the 21st and 25th, and the consideration of it was adjourned until the 18th of March. The bill was reported on the 22d, and the bill was finally read a third time on the Bth of April, so it was not the fact that the return moved for by ➢lr. Hunt was on the table at any time during which the bill was under discussion. The Earl of DERBY regretted that the noble lord should have referred to the subject. The return certainly was on the table, but that did not alter the case. It was moved for immediately after the introduction of the bill, and it was produced before the bill was read a third time. It was well known that the return was to be made, so there had been plenty of time to remedy an error that might have been discovered in the bill. WRITS OF HABEAS CORPUS INTO HER MAJESTY'S POSSESSIONS ABROAD. This bill went through committee. OFFICERS' COMMISSIONS BILL. On the motion of Earl DE GREY the house went into committee on this bill which was reported without amend ment. CONSOLIDATED FUND (£18,000,000) BILL. This bill passed through committee. THE REVISED CODE. The Bishop of OXFORD having presented a number of petitions against the code, proceeded to put a question to the Lord President of the Council as to whether in the new minutes it was intended to provide that scholars in night schools were to be examined with the day scholars. The right reverend prelate dwelt with much earnestness on the advantages of the night schools to grown up youths which were calculated to draw forth the apparently forgotten, but only dormant know ledge formerly acquired in the day schools. ;;He thought that it was a very hazardous arrangement to sub ject youths who came to these schools of their own accord to a strict examination. [LEFT SPEAKING]. TIOUSE OF COMMONS —THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Great Northern Railway (No. 1) Bill was read a third time and passed. The following bills were consi dered and ordered for third reading :—Bollington (Prest bury) Improvement and Lighting, &c., and the Faringdon Railway. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the Revised Code ; in favour of an amendment of the Poor.law in Ire land ; by Mr. WHALLBY against the Grant to May nooth. &c. SPIRITS AND WINES. Mr. THOMAS BARING moved returns of the quanti tie: of British spirits used for home consumption in the United Kingdom during each of the five years ending with 1861, and showing also the rates of duty on such spirits, and the amount of duty thereon in each year; of the quantities of brandy imported and entered for Kcon sumption in the United Kingdom during each of the five years ending with 1861, and showing also the rates of duty on such brandy, and the amount of duty thereon in each year; similar returns for rum and Geneva; and return of the different descriptions of wine imported and entered for consumption in the United King dom during each of the five years ending with 1861, and showing also the rates of duty on such wines, and the amount of duty thereon in each year.—Ordered. ARMY (COMMISSIONS). On'tho motion of Mr. CONINGHAM, different returns of the names of candidates for commission who had passed their examination at Chelsea since June, 1860, and of the names of those candidates for commissions on the non-pur chase list, were ordered. FLOODS IN IRELAND. Mr. HENNESSY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention had been called to the effects of the floods over the districts from Roscrea to the Shannon, and t o the floods of the tributaries of the Barrow; and whether he in!ended to introduce any general drainage bill for Ireland 1' Sir R. PEEL replied in the negative to both questions. ENTRANCE FROM PICCADILLY TO PARK-LANE Sir H. VERNEY asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, in consideration of the inconvenience and danger arising from the narrow entrance from Piccadilly to Park-lane, he would take measures to open the commu nication from Park-lane into Hamilton-place ? Mr. COWPER said that the communication in question had been recommended by a committee of the House of Commons in 1855, and the question was considered, when the difficulties in carrying out the recommendation were found to be so great that no steps had been taken in refer ence to the subject. When Hamilton -place was laid out in in 1849 it w<ts intended that there should be no thoroughfare through it. If the communication proposed were carried out, it would necessitate passing through two gardens in Hamilton -place, belonging to persons who had taken them on a leak+ of 40 years. Under these circum stances he was not prepared to take any steps in reference to this communication, and he thought attention would be better directed to the widening of Park-lane. MEETING OF THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE OF ITALY. Mr. C. BENTINCK asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether he had received any official account of the meeting of the " Provisional Committees of Italy," held at the Paganini Theatre at Genoa on Sunday the 9th March, and of the subsequent proceedings of those bodies, and whether he would lay copies of such despatches upon the table, or state their purport ? Mr. LAYARD said her Majesty's Government had re ceived information on this subject in the way they had done in reference to other matters taking place abroad ; but he thought it would be most inconsistent and not due to the dignity of the Italian Government if the papers in question were laid on the table. DRAINAGE IN IRELAND. Colonel DICKSON said that in consequence of what had fallen from the chief secretary for Ireland in reference to this subject, he gave notice that he would move for leave to bring a bill for the better drainage of Ireland. MARKETS AND FAIRS (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. BAGWELL moved certain instructions to the com mittee in order to render the bill more efficient, which, -fter some discussion, were agreed to. '"ruse then went into committee on the bill. The ..- Clause 2 was lob.. —reed to.

C O LD COMFORT.--Canad a, w h en th e l as t ma il left, h a d had for some days a succession of snowstorms, the most severe of the present winter, blocking up the railways and interrupting all business ; and before these storms above 85 inches of snow had fallen this season at Montreal—more than enough to cover the tallest man. Nevertheless, says a Montreal paper, "we would not exchange our clear, dry oold for the shivering dampness which characterises the winter of the British islands." ROY AL lIORTICULTU.RAL SOCIETY. The London season may almost be said to have commenced with the Early Slang Flower Show of yesterday, which heads the programme of the Royal Horticultural Society's arrangements for the year 1862. Hitherto the fashionable drives and pro menades of Hyde-park and the aristocratic localiti es of Belgravia and South Kensington have, owing to the long continuance of the cold and wet which have marked the opening months of the present year, been comparatively deserted. Yesterday they were alive with gay equipages, and the immediate neighbourhood of the Horticultural Gardens and the International Exhibition was all but impassable from the influx of visitors, attracted not so much, perhaps, by the expectation of a brilliant horticul tural display, which is hardly pcssible in the third week of such a March as this has been, as by the bright sunbeams which, almost for the first time since their return to town, shone out with sufficient promise of permanence to draw them from the warmth and shelter of their firesides. But, considering all things, the show itself was most creditable. The hyacinths, whose beautifully formed petals, pure colours, luxuriousness of flower, and exquisite but powerful aroma could scarcely be surpassed, were in great profusion, and well deserved the commendations they obtained from the cognoscenti. The camellias, white, red, and variegated, were unexceptionable, and, as regards those which obtained prizes especially, told of the care which had been bestowed upon their culture. There was not so large a display of tulips as a more genial season would doubtless have produced, scarce, except lilies of the, but the few that were ther e were extremely good. Early open air grown sp r i ng plentiful enou g h, and amongst them some bunches drooping with the we i ght or valley,a smight which h a n w t e i c r i e p ated, their white bead-like blossoms. The primula, epicias, and other open air spring flowering pl ants,, and the stove amaryllis, did credit to their respee-. tive growers as well as to the exhibition of which, they formed a part. Besides the competing plants,, there was a magnificent display, as far as quality is, concerned, of rhododendrons, and a few beautifully , developed roses, both red and white. There was., but one drawback to the show, and that was that, the confined area in which it was held, and the im mense number of visitors, rendered it all but impose sible to see one half of the many very interesting 7 specimens of the floricultural art it embraced. From. a little after one o'clock, when the doors opened, until dusk, there was a continuous stream of visitors passing through the council chamber, which ou this occasion was the somewhat inconvenient route of the exhibition, and the necessary efforts of the attendant policemen to keep the stream flowing prevented that attention being given to the "points" of the flowers which an area of more extended limits would have allowed. This is a defect which will be no doubt remedied by the next flower show, and may well be excused in the present instance, remembering that the very unpromising weather which prevailed yesterday would have made the substitution of a marquee in the gardens a dan gerous experiment. The band of the Ist Life Guards attended in the grounds during the afternoon, and enlivened the out-door portion of the entertainment with a selec tion from some of the most popular composers. Taken as a whole, this, the opening day of the season, was most successful, and promises well for the numerous other fetes, which are set down in the published programme of the year, and which are to follow each other in rapid succession.
