There is no farther change to report in the general condition of the Money Market, and the minimum rate of the Bank of England remains a 2 per cent., the directors at their meeting to day having found it unnecessary to alter their regu lations. The current terms in the open market range as low as 2 per cent. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China have announced a dividend of 5 percent for the past half year. At the forthcoming meeting cf the Ottoman Bank a distribution at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum will be recommended, • Increased activity was apparent in the Liverpool cotton market yesterday, and 10,000 bales were sold, 7,000 of which were for exportation and on specu lation.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL Our market to-day was fairly supplied with beasts, both as to number and quality. All kinds moved off slowly, nevertheless Monday's currency was supported. The primest lots sold at 4s 10d per Slb. Although the supply of sheep was very limited, the mutton trade was in a most inactive state, at about stationary prices ; the best Downs realised 6s 6d per Blbs. Calves—the show of which was small—were in request, at an improvement in value of 2d per tilb. Pigs were quite as dear as on Monday, but much cows were very dull.

LAW lATELLIGENCE.—(27dB Day.) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) THWAITES V. THWAITES. The hearing of this case was resumed this morning. Dr. Twiss proceeded to addre,s the Court upon the whole of the evidence adduced, on the part of Mrs, Thwaites. The learned gentleman was proceeding when we wen to press. SHERIFFS' COURT. BETTING ON HORSE, RACES-IMPORTANT DECISION WELLBELOVED V. ATKINSON. This Fas an action to recover 10s., money had and re ceived under somewhat novelcircumstances. Plaintiff said he made a bet with the defendant about a certain horse winning a certain race, and the defendant staked one crown against two that the horse would win. A dispute arose about the race, it being argued on one side that the horse had won, and upon the other that it had lost. Plaintiff, however, was called upon by defendant to pay, and pending the decision of the great arbiter in all such cases, plaintiff paid over the 10s. to the defendant, under protest. When Bell's Life came out on Saturday it was there stated that the horse was disqualified, in consequence of its having gone the wrong side of the post. Under these circumstances plaintiff contended that he was clearly en titled to have his money hack. A person who appeared for defendant urged that the court had no jurisdiction in the matter. The Court—l don't know that. Defendant's agent—lt is illegal, and the Court cannot interfere. Tho Court—We must see. - - Agent (to plaintiff) —I believe you are a bookmaker. Plaintiff—Yes. The Court—Was the bet made in a betting-office ? Plaintiff—No, in the street. Agent—What did you take defendant's ss. for? Plaintiff—Because it is customary. It is a rule if any one bets with us to take the stakes as a security. Agent—You as a bookmaker ought to know that you should not have paid the money unless you were sure, Plaintiff—lt was understood at the time that the race was disputed. Agent—We say the horse won, The Court—You see, plaintiff, that they deny the horse having lost. How do you prove it ? Plaintiff (producing a book)—By the Racing Calendar (roars of laughter.) The Court—That is not evidence. Plaintiff—Well, the reports and Bell's Life (renewed laughter.) . The Court—They are not evidence. You did not see the race, I presume ? , . Plaintiff—No, but I am sure the horse was disqualified. The Court—How can that he ? Plainliff—Because it says so in the Racing Calendar. (Great laughter.) I wish the Court would look at it. The Court—l would rather not, Plaintiff evidently could not understand why the .Racing Calendar was not received as evidence, and then urged that he demanded only his own money back. He had only paid it because defendant said he wanted the money. Defendant's agent said it was a most unusual thing to do. If plaintiff had paid the money he had done so at his own risk, and such a thing as recovering it was never heard of. Plaintiff—l acted like an honourable man, and I now de mand my own back. The Court thought this was a very nice question, and one that drew the line very finely. But upon the ground that plaintiff had parted with 10s. under the belief that such and such a thing had occurred, which was not the case the Court was of opinion that he was entitled to have his money back. Defendant's agent—lt is quite illegal, and we shall op • pose it. The Court—Very well. Meanwhile, plaintiff will have a verdict. POLICE .INTELLIGENCE.—( 77418 Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DARING ROBBERY IN CARLTON GARDENS.—Arm Smith, a woman about 30, was charged with stealing a gold watch and Albert chain, of the value of £22, the property of a gentleman unknown, in Carlton-gardens. The watch is made by Aubert and Klaptonberger, and the seal attached to the watchchain has two griffins' heads as the crest. Mr. Austin appeared for the prisoner. Gordon, 336 A, said on the previous night, at a quarter past 11, he saw the prisoner following and dodging a gen tleman, who walked into Carlton-gardens. As the gentle man was stepping from the pavement to the road, the prisoner hustled him, turned round, and then ran away. He (Gordon) then pursued the prisoner to the corner of King-street, and told her that she had robbed a gentleman, which she denied. He then asked her what she had in her muff, and on putting his hand into it he found the watch and chainproduced, which she said was her own. In answer ,to Mr. Austin, the witness said the gentleman was not hustling her, and that he believed the gentleman came out of the Reform Club. He had not time to ask the gentleman if he had been robbed. Shillingford, 325 A, confirmed some of Gordon's state ment, and proved seeking for the gentleman, but not being able co find him.

SINGULAR CASE Or AFFILIATION.—HOAX UPON A POLICE CONSTABLE. -Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, attended before Mr. Selie, to obtain an order of affiliation upon Cap tain Edmond M'Sweeney, formerly master of the screw steamer Rangoon, and represented to be dwelling at the house of Mr. Suckling, No, 1, Surrey-street, Strand. The complainant was Louisa Brown," an unmistakeably looking servant girl, very smartly dressed, and the service of the summons at No. 1, Surrey-street, Strand, ha via been p roved, she deposed that she was formerly " servant gal" in the lodging and boarding house of Mrs. Foster, in St. Leonards-road Bromley. The defendant Edmond M'Sweeney was lodging there, and he paid her very par ticular attentions. She listened to the persuasive language of the gallant gay Lothario, and surrendered to his wishes. The consequence of the tender intercourse which took place between them was the birth of a little boy, which was five months old on the 23d of this month. Captain M'Sweeney gave her £5 after the child was born. Mr. Stoddart—Did the defendant bring you home some lace from Malta ? Witness—Yes, sir; and he said the lace was to make caps fur the young brute, and to make him appear smart. (Laughter.) Mr. t , toddart—And what else did he say about the child? Witness—He said it was a good-looking fellow, like him self. (Loud laughter.) In cross-examination by Mr. Denny, a solicitor, Louisa Brown said she had received as much as £l2 10s. from Captain M'Sweeney, besides the lace and presents. She was now living with her sister, Mrs. Austin, at No. 15, Napier-terrace, Bow-common. Mrs. Austin got into the witness-box with the living evidence of Louisa Brown's frailty in her arms, and was sworn, when Mr. Denny said he would not dispute the parentage, but his client would not pay more than the law compelled. Mr. Stoddart said that Taplin, an officer of the court, was informed by Captain Suckling, of No. 1, Surrey•street, in December last that Captain M'Sweeney would be found on board the ship Elsineur, of which he was master, in the Clarence Dock, Lherpeol. The officer proceeded to Liver pool at the expense of the complainant, but no ship called the Elsineur, and no Captain I.l 4 Sweeney could be found there. Mr. Selfo said the•defendant must pay for the hoax prac tised on the officer of the court by his friend Captain Suck ling. He :adjudged the defendant to be the father of the complainant's child, to pay 2s. Gd per week for its main tenance, and to pay £3 ss. as costs. TIIIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

ANOTHER LADY KILLED BY MACHINERY.—About 11 o'clock on Tuesday morning the neighbourhood of Stani forth-street, Birmingham, was thrown into a state of con siderable excitement in consequence of the frightful and melancholy death of Mrs. Sarah Stanley, the proprietress of the Stanley Saw Mills, Staniforth-straet, who met her death as far as we have been enabled to ascertain, under the fol lowing circumstances. At the time abovenamed the de ceased was in the act of stepping over a spindle in the mill, when her dress was caught, and she was dragged into the machinery. Her son, who was standing close by at the time, immediately took hold of her, and prevented her from be ing carried round by the shaft, and raised an alarm' The engine was at once stopped, and the unfortunate woman was .extricated from her awful position. It was then found that her body was almost severed in two, her clothes were torn from her person, and that her intestines were protrud ing. Death must, in fact, have been instantaneous.

The Chanticleer, 17, screw, Commander Stirling, made her official trial of speed, at load draught, at the measured mile in Stokes Bay yesterday, under the superintendence of the steam factory and re serve officials of Poitsmouth Dockyard. The weather was favourable for the occasion, there being smooth water, with the wind off shore and light. The ship's draught of water was 14ft. forward, and 15ft. 2in. aft. Her propeller was a " Griffith," with a pitch of 15ft. and a diameter of 12ft. The ship was tried first with full, and afterwards with two-thirds boiler power, the mean of her runs under the first-named conditions giving her a speed of 10 knots, and with the latter a speed of 91, knots. The machinery gave the most perfect satisfaction by its working during the trial, and the boilers maintained plentiful a supply of steam. At the conclusion of the trial the Chanticleer again dropped anchor at Spithead. The Glasgow screw frigate and the Hazard hulk were both taken out of the steam-basin at Ports- mouth yesterday, the first-named for her official trial of speed at light draught, on completion of her machinery by the contractors, Messrs. Ravenhill, Salkeld, and Co., and the latter preparatory to the testing of Captain Coles's model shield with its two 100-pounder Armstrongs, which has been fitted on her decks. Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding her Majesty's ship Asia, and the reserve at Portsmouth ; Capt. Astley C. Key, C. 8., commanding her Majesty's ship Indus, and the reserve at Devonport ; and Mr. Hickman, secretary to Vice-Admiral Sir H. W. Bruce, commander-in-chief at Portsmouth, met in committee yesterday at Portsmouth, by direction of the Admiralty, to revise the regulations relative to the reserves. A letter, received at Plymouth from one of the lieutenants of the new screw steam frigate Orlando, 50, Capt. Francii Scott, C. 11., dated Halifax, Jan. 23, says :—" We "saile4 from Plymouth, Dec. 24, with a fair wind, keeping strong easterly gales for the first four days, with the prospect of making a splendid passage. The ship answered marvellously well under steam and sail ; but at last the wind chopped round, when we had bad weather from the westward for nearly all the rest of the time. The passage was made, however, in 21 days. We all agree in praising the Orlando. She is a noble vessel, and, under the circumstances of her hastened departure, everything has gone on well." The paddle-wheel steam sloop Virago, 6, Com mander H. Johnstone, left Hamoaze yesterday for Plymouth Sound. She will probably accompany the steam-vessel Investigator, Lieutenant and Com• mander Lefroy, part of the way to the Coast of Africa. The screw steam corvette Rattlesnake, 21, from Chatham, arrived at Plymouth yesterday, and will be placed in the first division of the steam reserve in Haraoaze. The Cormorant, 4, screw sloop, 696 tons, 200- horse power, and the Racehorse, 4, screw sloop, 695 tons, 200-horse power, having had their compasses adjusted at Sheerness, and been coaled and supplied with stores, are now ready for the pennant. It was reported in The Sun of the 12th inst. that the iron screw frigate Defence, 18 guns, 600-horse power, Capt. Powell, C. 8., after getting up steam at Chatham for the purpose of proceeding to Sheer ness, was net able to do so in consequence of some defect in the working of a screw in the " banjo," the nature of which could not be ascertained by the divers, and that the casualty would most likely necessitate the vessel being again taken into dock to make good defects. We are, therefore, happy to state that the cause of the delay is not of so serious a nature, but that it was occasioned by the work men employed in replacing the screw having acci dentally dropped some bolts into the chairs of the propellors, which one of the divers eventually succeeded in extricating. The vessel subsequently weighed anchor and arrived in good trim and per feet working order at Sheerness, yesterday, her machinery having acted most satisfactorily. The Defence will be coaled at once and prepared for the pennant. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty : Lieutenant John Eliot to the Odin. Sub-Lieutenants—Henry R. Kelly to the Odin ; George R. Heneage, Charles Alder, Arthur L. Clarkson,and James W. Gambier, to the Marlborough, for disposal. Midshipmen—Arthur Bloxsome Cecil E.Danvers, Robert H. Paul, Charles E. Gissing, and Edward Riddle, to the Odin ; Horatio N. S. Hood to the Revenge ; F. W. E. Keeper to the Euryalus. Mr. H. H. P. Shanks to be Secretary to Rear-Admiral Kuper. Assistant-Paymaster R. Richards, to the Euryalus, as Secretary Clerk. Clerk—Richard Williams to the Euryalus. THE ARMY. The re-assembling of the classes of Gentlemen Cadets at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, took place yesterday morning, on the termination of the prolonged Christmas vacation, The occasion being somewhat out of the usual order, his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief (now Governor of the Academy) attended to inaugurate the proceedings. Accompanied by Brevet-Major the Hon. H. T. Keane, Assist.-Adjutant-General, Royal Engineers, extra aide-de-camp, he arrived at. Woolwich at 12 o'clock, and proceeded at once to the academy, where he was received by Gen. Sand ham and the officers of the establishment with the gentlemen cadets on parade under arms. There were also present Gen. Sir R. Dacres, K.C.B„ and the garrison staff; Col. Bingham, Deputy Adjt.- General, Royal Artillery ; and Col. Chapman, De puty Adjt.-General, Royal Engineers. His Royal Highness, after inspecting the parade, proceeded to one of the class-rooms, where the cadets had been drawn up to hear an address from the Duke. He informed the cadets that, by reason of the late be reavement, he was unable to be present at the close of the last half-year's studies, or to preside at the distribution of prizes, but no sooner bad they reas sembled e th a e m n on p g res th en em t;he A sa ll i i d ld t i h n a g t lie e t n h . an sa h n e dh C a a ni n: had the highest opinion of his capabilities and judg ment in matters connected with military education, and, after referring to various circumstances con nected with the proceedings of the last six months, he told them that an impression had got abroad that, not having personally censured their conduct in the late disturbances, it was presumed he did not look upon their offence as of any grievous import. He would now disabuse their minds of that impression. Whatever their grievances might have been, and however well founded, there were legal means of re dress, and their insubordination deserved a far heavier punishment than that which had been awarded. He added, " Let bygones be bygones." He hoped the future would fully compensate for the past. The position of the senior cadets, or corporals, would in future be one of great responsi bility. They would be held liable for any mis conduct in the absence of their superiors, and would be required to inspect the quality of the daily messes. The general mode of punish m e nt for in subordination and serious m i sc onduct would in r eat severity, b u t future be not the black-hole," the designation of which implied a punishment o f g which in reality was not so; it would be a" rusti cation" for a term corresp onding to the nature of the crime. This would entail a loss of ste p s in th e regiment to which they m ight be appoint e d, an d osom e now i n t h would carry witk it a p ermanent disgrace. Thi s , he said, he merely all uded to as an item of t he new regulations, a dg wasoftowhuincdherg e Academy, but wraasu aboutht impor tant revision. As to the use of tobacco, that would not be tolerated within the precincts of the esta blishment or the town. He would recommend them to esc h e w altogether the habit of smoking. It would not, however, in the common and the be marked as a b re a c h country, of the regulations. H e impressed upon them the rigid necessity of serving the rules of discipline, which should form one of the component parts of their every-day studies. The cadets were again marched on parade, and proceeded to St. George's-hall for dinner at one o'clock. His Royal Highness soon after entered the dining-hall, accompanied as above stated, and tested the quality of the pro visions) which he pronounced excellent. The Duke and party then proceeded on foot towards the Lower Academy, in the New-road, visit ing first the auxiliary Infirmary recently erectid , ,in Mill-lane. Haviog inspected the Lower Acadenlty ' and the Horse Artillery stables,'his Royal Highness ' drove off for London at 3 o'clock. The following ' is the details bf the establishment now constituted ' according to the new regulations :—One Governor, the Commander in Chief; one Lieut.-Governer, Commandant Major-Gen. Sandham, R.E. ; one In spector of Studies, Second Commandant Col. Yorke, R.E. ; one Assistant-Inspector of Studies, Wier C. T. Gibb, R.E. ; 3 Captains—viz., Brevet-Majors Thring and Fitzhugh, and Captain Hunter, R.A.; 6 subalterns—viz., Lients. 0. H. Goodenough, E, W. Sandys, and 11. C. Farrell, RA., at the Lower Academy, and Lieuts. H. Lewis, R.A., H. Munrce, and Berthon, of the Indian Artillery, at the Upper Academy; one. Paymaster and Adjutant, Major Louth, late Paymaster Coast Brigade, R.A. ; one Quartermaster, one Surg(s,on, one sergeant-major, one quartermaster-sergeant, one paymaster's clerk, sundry clerks, non-commissioned officers, drill ser geants, responsible under officers in the proportion of one to every 100, cadets, one subdivision under officer, and 3 corporals to every 30 cadets. The company will be divided into three divisions, de signated A, B, and C, and each division into three subdivisions. 45 newly-entered cadets yesterday joined the Academy, and at the forthcoming exa mination, to take place in a few days, 14 of the second or B class are expected to pass to the upper class, when an equal number of new cadets will be admitted. CANON STAN - L R.P 42 8 7. Atitni , s, OXFORD, (From a Correspondent of the Free2nan.) Dr. Stanley, the Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical His tory, was appointed to preach at St. Mary's Oxford, on Sunday morning last. As the doctor is about to leave England, to accompany the Prince of Wales, it was a kind of farewell discourse. The Vice-Chancellor and most of the heads of houses were present, and the senior members and undergraduates were in great force. St. Mary's was crowded. The text was from Heb. 1., " God spate by the prophets." None more than the preacher valued the his, tonic portion of the Old Testament, but its grand peculiarity was in the teaching of the Prophets. This was the golden hread running through all, and these teachings constituted the very essence of revelation. These were the gradations on the highest stops of which stood the prophets, the in spired teachers of the -New Testament. As theologians, the propets taught, negatively, the Divine unity and spi rituality of God; and positively, justice, goodness, love advancing from Moses, to the highest degree, i s t h e pro , phetic teachings of the New Testament, as seen in " John, the last of the prophets." There had ever been a tendency in men to separate morality from theology. It was not so wtth the prophets ; they taught, with Samuel, that " to obey was better than sacrifice." All the prophets placed the spirit above the letter. So the Great Prophet. His warnings were given to the religious world. The supre macy of the moral and spiritual over the ritual and ceremo nial, was the essence of inspired prophetic teaching. Applying these views to the present, the preacher empha tically declared that we were not like Jewish priests or Levites, but had to follow in this prophetical order. The inculcation of truth, justice, and charity, should be, as it were, a passion and deeply-felt doctrine. The great question was, whether truth should have the first or the second 'place. Would they see what tois true prophe t tic spirit was, as holding truth first, they might see it in vAombroansed blood-stained shutting theatesofhis Theodosius, in the churchadgeaninusutetihateiodnes ut of evil by Savonarola, and in the characteristics of Calvin. Knox, and Wesley. The prophets were then viewed as direct oracles and counsellors in special and general emer gencies, and in their relation to the State. They were ab sorbed in devotion to their country, filled with public spirit, an d glowed with indignation at oppression and wrong ; they were the constant protectors and advocates of the poor. Up to this point the preacher had inferentially com.. bated a great and widely-diffused error, that which 'views the prophets almost solely as the predictors of future events. He then proceeded to characterise the predictive power of the prophets, its upward, forward, progressive character, its tenacious hope, its predictive insight into the hearts of' men ; their large and elevated views, "even now hardly appreciated." Beside these views of society, there was the special fore sight of political events in their own and other countries They pronounced the doom of nations, and were like a great tragic chorus of the drama of the eastern world. Specially there was the prediction of the great personage to come, king, deliverer, prophet, the perfect hero. This created an expectation, the existence of which was denied by no theological historian. Was this unparalleled expec tation realised P There did arise one of this nation, such a chat acter, having all the prophetical qualities. The preacher would not weaken the force of this great sufficient fact by any discussions. The prophetic spirit was a hopeful spirit, looking forward to a certain great result. It might be far off, but the whole creation moved to it, from the church to the individual. To him the future was everything, the past nothing. Then there was one more future, too often almost shut out of our life. Glancing at that eternal future, to be happy through the mercy of God, the preacher suggested that we might have to sit down with some as companions there whom we had accounted as opponents here. We hear that neither Mr. Locke King nor Air Baineswill bring forward their annual reform motion during the pi esent session. In fact, except in the large and unu sual amount of private business to be disposed of, the mat ters before Parliament would be comparatively unimport ant.—Post. We believe that his Royal Highness the Duke o f camblidge will be transferred to the Colonelcy of the Grenadier Guards, vacant by the death of the Prince Con sort, and that he will be succeeded in the Colonelcy of the Scots Fusileer Guards by General Sir Alexander Wood ford, G.C.8., Lieutenant-Governor of Chelsea Hospital. Sir Alexander is one of the oldest and most distinguished officers in the army, and the mark of distinction now con ferred upon him will be cordially ratified by the whole Bei+. vice. It was mentioned, with reference to the American advices, that "the State of Pennsylvania was to pay its dividends on the Ist inst., and £500,000 would then have to be remitted to Europe." Of this remittance, however, only about £lOO,OOO is expected to consist of Pennsylvania dividends. The remainder is likely to be from contractors and others who have received consignments of European goods, and who have been waiting payment from the Go vernment. To one importing house alone the Government are stated to be indebted £400,000. CHEMISTRY APPLIED TO ARCHNOLOGY.—SOMe time ago two human skeletons were found at Vertheuil and everything tend e d t o s h ow (Seine-et-Oise), in stone coffins. The bones, though brittle, were in perfect preservation, that these skeletons had been buried many centuries ago. 111 . . Couerbe, a chemist of some note, having obtained the shoulder-blade of one of these relics of past ages, subjected it to analysis, and found that it contained only ten per cent. of organic matter, besides the usual mineral substances of which bones are composed. Now, as fresh bones con tain 33 per cent, of organic matter, it follows that the bones ascertained e u e . b r b e e , ' centuries. n ril t of the skeletons of Vertheuil had lost 23 per cent. of or ganic substances. From this fact M. Couerbe has endeavoured to deduce the age of the bones he has exa mined. M. Vogelsang, ho observes, has found that bones that had been buried 1,100 years scarcely contained any three per cent. of organic matter disappears every hundred organic) matter at all; whence M. Couerbe concludes that years. Applying this rule to the bones found in the castle of Vertheuil, he fixes the year 1110 as the probable period of the inhumation of those bodies—a conclusion which tallies with the archaeological observations made by M. to divide by 3 the loss of organic matter e will then represent the Leo-Drouin, of the Academy of Bordeaux. Hence M.

MATISHAL BUGEAUD'S RULE FOR THE WEATHER. We (Galignani) have more than oncehad occasion to men tion Marshal Bugeaud's meteorological rule, by which he used to regulate his military operations. The rule may be briefly stated as follows :—" In eleven cases out of twelve, the weather will be, during the whole lunation, the same as that on the fifth day of the moon, if the weather of the sixth was the same as that on the fifth. And nine times out 'of twelve the weather will be like that of the fourth day, if the sixth day was like the fourth." The Marshal need to add six hours to the end of the sixth day, before deciding on what the weather would be, in order to allow for the daily difference in the moon's return to the meridian. This rule is evidently not always applicable; for when the sixth day differs from the fifth and fourth, lva thore is of course no inference to be drawn,:nor is itao; the easy to come to a right conclusion when the weatherfivoy wavering.ears Hfouorwthev,erfiftthh,isamndaysibxeth, the e ay ru rs le is , ° precious one : iac i a b studies. l e .
