MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The markets for foreign and colonial produce, during the last few days, have not exhibited quite so much animation as previously exhibited. For tea there has been a very limited inquiry, the trade generally having bought very sparingly, prefer ring to wait for tha particulars by the Over land Mail. There have been very moderate sales of sugar, and only the finer qualities of British West India have supported former quota tions. In the refined market a few sales have been effected at previous values. There has been some inquiry for English crushed for exportation, and at the Dutch sales prices ruled at a slight advance on last sales' rates. For coffee there is only a mo derate inquiry. Plantation Ceylon of good coloury quality supports former values, but other descriptions are heavy. Rice has been in improved demand, and prices have slightly advanced. Itum _ has been in steady favour, and fruit has si been dealt in to a fair extent. The first cargo of new Valentia raisins has arrived, and has I been taken by the trade at 455. Saltpetre has been steady, and tallow dull. The public sales of colonial wool, which commenced on the 15th July, will con clude to-day ; the quantity offered has been about 80,000 bales, chiefly of Sydney, Port Phillip, and st New Zealand wools. Prices have been steadily 3 , maintained, and the average advance on the rates II realised at the conclusion of the May sales is lid. to 2d. per lb., chiefly on the finer descriptions, The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday exhibited rather more animation, and prices of all descriptions were fully supported. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. In Railway Shares a very lim it e d business teel was transacted, and values remained unaltered. Stock Kastern Union Stock ,,,, Stock Do. Do. B. Stock As anticipated, the payments towards the Indian 25 Do. New A. (late E.R. Sh.) i Last Kent hire Loan effected yesterday were in excess of the call, stoesk which was equal to about 1 7 per cent. The next Stoo k East L 3 . li . ffoik call of 25 per cent. is due on the 20th proximo, and irsgc M n argr h th n , n an 4 a Ghdi r , a further large amount, in anticipation of future in stalments will, in all probability, then be sub- it scribed. The payments hit herto have not led to any 61 appreciable variation either in the demand for, or { the value of discount accommodation. A steady influx of geld is taking place at the Bank B il of England. In the absence of Australian supplies, the additions to the stock of bullion have recently consisted of Russian and American gold. In a few is days, probably, large consignments will be received stl from Australia, which will, no doubt, be sent into the Bank, because the continental demand continues 11 1 very limited. The recent advices from China, leading to the in ference that the proposed indemnity to England and si France will speedily cause a large influx of silver, have rendered the market for that metal exceedingly at quiet. But no futher decline has yet taken place in 31 the quotations. Small amounts, however , are com ing 11 forward from the continent. Among those an nounced this morning are parcels of £l,OOO from Oporto, and of about £2,000 from Antwerp. The daily fluctuation in the market for Public 11 Securities is very limited, viz., about / I per cent. ii and speculation seems almost suspended. Such pro tracted inanimation has seldom been witnessed. The tendency of values is favourable, and within the last few months securities of most descriptions have ad vanced, but the improvement has not been accom- 8 panied by a revival of business. The invest- 1, ing public, if they have employed their means, have preferred new enterprises. Loans have been readily subscribed to, and two or three companies have been successfully established, but comparatively ' little money has been brought into the old chan nels of speculation. The Funds are considered high enough. Foreign Stocks, with few exceptions, are not very popular, and Railway Shares are much above the value warranted by the late dividends and the 1 ) 1 present scale of profits : stagnation, consequently, pervades all departments of the house, and many of the brokers must be earning a scanty subsistence, for s , the business recorded is too limited to give half of them adequate employment ; still a hope is ex pressed that a month or two later a general improvement will take place. The return of a large proportion of the public from the country and the continent, may, it is thought, inaugurate " better times," but in the interim there is nothing to excite attention, and the daily reports at of the transactions and the variations are almost Bl stereotyped. The Indian Loan, the Atlantic Tele graph, the Red Sea Telegraph, and a few other pro jects, have each in their turn evinced a little tempo rary excitement, but affairs have speedily settled down to the dull and heavy state that has charac terised this branch of business since the crisis of last year. However encouraging our prospects may appear, they are wholly inoperative in reviving business ; prices, however, exhibit increased firmness. Consols have been almost stationary at 961 8 fcr _ money and account. Bank Stock is firm at 227/ to 228/. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced An nuities have been dealt in at 973 for both • Long A nn uities, 188; India Stoc k, 217 ; ditto Bonds, 15s. The March Exchequer-bills are marked 31s. to 345. preen, and the June ditto, 255., and the Bonds 1001 A moderate amount of business is recorded in the Foreign Stock Market, and about previous prices are current.

A moderate amount of business has been done in the Railway Share Market this morning. Prices generally have been steady, the variations having been about 4to per cent. Lancashire and Yorkshire, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and North British, declined 55.; North-Eastern (York), 10s. ; Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton, 155.; and Bristol and Exeter, £l. Caledonian, and Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, improved ss. ; and Midland, 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have been in very limited demand, and show a downward tendency in most instances. Canada, declined about 55.; Great Western of Canada, 10s. ; and Grand Trunk of Canada, £2 to £3. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are extremely quiet.

POLICE INT MARLBOROUGH - STREET.— STEALING COPPER PLATES.—SamueI Byivater, a young man, was charged with stealing a quantity of copper-plates, the property of Mr. John Mitchell, copper-plate printer, of 24, ih ardour street, Soho. William Stevens, 23 C, said—On Saturday last, having received information that a quantity of copper-plates had been stolen from 24, Wardour-street, I made inquiries at the different marine store shops in the neighbourhood, and found that a quantity had been sold at a shop in Grafton street. On taking some of them to the prosecutor, he at once identified them. Joseph Park, rag merchant, of 5, Grafton-street, said— On Saturday I bought the plates produced of the prisoner, having Aced him whether they were his own property, to which he replied that they were. I weighed them and found that they weighed 1711b5., and gave him lls. for them. Mr. John Mitchell, the prosecutor, said—l have no re collection of the prisoner whatever. My premises are un dergoing repair, and I have noticed a man like the prisoner about washing ceilings, but have not particularly noticed him. I saw the plates safe on Thursday last. Not seeing the plates in the place they should have been in, I spoke to one of my young men, and on their being sought for they were missed. They were chiefly old plates, and therefore only of value as old copper. Had they been plates in use they would have been of £2OO value. A constable said he believed the prisoner had already been convicted. ti Remanded for a week. THAMES.—CLOSING OP COUNTY COURTS.—Mr. C. Young, solicitor, waited upon Mr. Selfe, to make an expla nation, which, he said, was necessary to relieve a most respectable man from a serious imputation. It would, no doubt, be in the recollection of his worship that Mr. Huggins, a marine painter, made an application for a sum mons against Mr. J. Rayment, the proprietor of the railway hotel, Grove-road, Mile End, for non-payment of a debt of £6 7s. 6d., the balance of an Recount for the pa ti of two pictures. It was also stated by Mr. Huggirs that Mr. Rayment was about to leave the country, and that he had repeatedly applied to him in the course of the trst two months for the debt. His worship referred Mr. Huggins to the County Court, and it was stated by him (Mr. Young) that they were closed until the end of September, and that Mr. Huggins would be without a remedy. He (Mr. Young) was now instructed by Mr. Rayment to state that he had no in tention to leave England, and that be had no wish to avoid a summons. Mr. Rayment had sold his house and business on Friday last, at the Auction Mart, on account of ill health, and intended to spend a week in the country, by the advice of his physician. When the County Cour.s were opened, Mr. Rayment would be glad to meet Mr. Huggins in one of them, and could make a good defence to the claim set up by Mr. Huggins. The fact was, Mr. Huggins contracted to do two paintings for £l2, whereas he had charged £l7los. for them, and left the work unfinished. Mr. Rayment had paid Mr. Huggins £ll 12s. Od. on account, which was more than the paintings were worth, and would resist any further claim upon him. Mr. Rayment was low under contract for buildings to the extent of £3,000, and was pos sessed of considerable property in the neighbourhood of the Grove-road, and it was only by the advice of his physician, who said that the business of a licensed victualler was too exciting for him, that he had sold the railway hotel. Mr. Selfe said the parties could discuss the case in a County Court in October, 80 that be had no doubt, as the bane had gone forth in the newspapers, the antidote would also be published. THE HASTT AND UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.—Mr. Lewis Raby, one of the relieving officers of Whitecbapel Union, came before Mr. Selfe with Ellen Spurting, wife of Samuel Spurting, a pensioner, who married her on the 9th inst., and abandoned her on the following clay. Mr. Raby said that Spurling had spent the £lO his wife had received on her marriage from the committee of the Indian Mutiny Relief Fund. Mrs. Spurting had since been relieved and main tained in the workhouse. Mr. Selfe said be had some little difficulty in the mat ter. Spurling had behaved as badly as he could do towards the unhappy woman, and be (Mr. Selfe) felt very strongly on the subject, but he must not strain the law or do anything that was illegal because he bad a strong feeling on the subject. Spurling had offered to take his wife back yesterday, and she refused to return home with him. It could not,,therefore, be said that Spurling refused to maintain his wife. Mrs. Spurling said that Spurting was a very savage and brutal fellow, that he ill-used her the day after marriage, ran away with £lO, and had ruined her prospects in life. All her husband said yesterday wag quite false. Her new husband left her without a farthing, and went away with two prostitutes, for whom he paid 4s. cab hire the day a.ter her unlucky marriage. She bet. d a bed character of him before marriage, mid reftmed to have him ; but two respect able soldiers' wives- invited her to tea, and persuaded her against her will to have him. Nothing would ever induce - her to live with Spurting again. He would ill-use and murder her if she returned to him. Mr. Selfe was very sorry that Mrs. Spurling had taken such a fellow on trust, and he also regretted that the poor woman, the widow of a valiant soldier, who had .ought and bled for his country, was reduced to a workhouse. He did not feel justified in granting the warrant, but, under the peculiar circumstances of the eve, he would recommend that Mrs. Spurting should be still further relieved in the workhouse, where she must conform to the rules and regula tions.

DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING. VISIT OF HIS EXCELLENCY TO DONEGAL. On Saturday morning his excellency left Londonderry to visit his relative, the Rev. Archdeacon Goold, who resides at Sharon Glebe, in the county of Donegal. His journey is thus described by the correspondent of a Dublin journal : " His excellency travelled in a carriage and four. Oa the arrival of the viceregal cortege at Newtowncunning ham, a small hamlet near Sharon, his excellency was met by a number of the gentry and inhabitants. Nearly 100 of the party were mounted, not including those who rode in the numerous vehicles which thronged the route. An ad dress was presented to his excellency by Mr. John G. Bowen, J.P. of Burt House, and the reply of the Lord Lieutenant, which' briefly expressed his appreciation of the enthusiastic welcome he had received, was hailed with loud cheers by the spectators. The country people showed their warm feeling towards bis excellency with great spirit and mani festations of rejoicing. In its progress from Newtowncun ningliam to Sharon, the viceregal party assumed quite the asp:et of a procession-- and a procession, it may be remarked, of rather a picturesque character, from the appearance of the native horsemen, whose turn out was somewhat defi cient in uniformity of costume. At Sharon, a select dinner party had been invited to meet his excellency." From Sharon his excellency went to view the extensive improvements lately effected by Mr. William M'Cormick, the eminent railway contractor. Arrived at Tready Point, where a commodious pavilion had been erected, his excel lency was conducted by Mr. M'Cortnick over a considerable portion of the ground which he has recently reclaimed. The Lord Lieutenant expressed his admiration of the won derful energy which could accomplish so much as bad been performed by Mr. M'Cormick. A considerable body of spectators had assembled near the place. On his return to the pavilion the Lord Lieutenant was loudly cheered. Here were assembled a number of the gentry of Derry and Done gal, and several of the citizens of Londonderry, who had been invited by Mr. M'Cormick to meet his excellency at luncheon. The repast was laid out in the most tasteful style, and nothing that taste could suggest was omitted from the tables, which were loaded with viands of the choicest description. The worthy host had the Lord Lieu tenant on his right, and the Lord Bishop of Derry and Raphoe on the other side. Among the company were rather more than a sprinkling of ladies. Mr. M'CORMICK having called on the company to fill their glasses, said—May it please your excellency—my lords, ladies, and gentlemen, I have, with his excellency's per mission, to propose a toast which I am sure you will all receive with the utmost enthusiasm. It is the health of my honoured guest the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. (Applause) I am not going to make a speech on this interesting ccca sion, for nothing I could say would add to your respect for so noble a character; nor could I find language to express the sense I entertain of the honour conferred on me by the representative of our most gracious Majesty condescending to come here to Derry and inspect the labours of so bumble an individual as myself. I, therefore, simply ask you to aid me in giving his excellency a htarty welcome—(cheers) — by drinking to the health, long life, and happiness of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. (Prolonged applause.) The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. His EXCELLENCY rose to respond, which he did very briefly. He said—l can hardly express my great satisfac tion at being so happy as to have another opportunity of thanking you for the kind reception I have received. This is the last opportunity I shall have, for I must now go away possibly for ever. (Cries of " No, no.") At all events I shall scarcely ever have an opportunity of visiting this place again, but I trust I may at some future period have the happiness of meeting you as friends. (Cheers.) lam sure every one of you must have joined with me in admiring the energy of the man who carried out such an enormous work for the benefit of this neighbourhood and of this country. (Hear, hear.) It is indeed one of the most gigantic under takings I ever witnessed—(loud cheers)—commenced and carried out by Mr. M'Cormick with a spirit worthy of his character and position. (Cheers.) It is net only by any effort on your part—by any good conduct on the part of the landlords (and I believe that no landlords have been better than the Irish landlords in latter days), but by the efforts of men of enterprise and character, like Mr. M'Cormick, that the country will rise to that prosperity to which her natural advantages entitle her, and which the genius and industry of her people, when well directed, will enable her to achieve. (Hear, and cheers.) That genius and industry, when directed by the energy of such a man as Mr. M'Cormick, are invincible. (Renewed cheers.) Even had he not done me the favour of proposing my health, I should have trespassed on you by asking you to join with tue in drinking the health of Mr. M'Cormick, and I beg to couple with it our wish for that success of his gigantic enterprise which he so well deserves. (Loud cheers.) Mr. M'ConsucK said—lf I found a difficulty in ad di easing your excellency on the first occasion, that difficulty I feel still more now, in endeavouring to acknowledge the flattering manner in which you have alluded to my labours here. I have simply endeavoured to do my duty to my country by attempting to increase her sphere of usefulness, and to extend her means of providing for the comfort and happiness of my fellow countrymen, and I can assure your excellency that the recollection of this day will cheer me to the last hour of my life. (Loud cheers.) His excellency here retired, and the company broke up. The carriage of the High Sheriff containing his excellency and suite, followed by the carriages of the Lord Bishop and of Mr. M'Cormick, reached the Coleraine Railway Station at Derry, at half-past two o'clock. The Lord Lieutenant was here met by the mayor and town clerk, and the other members of the corporation, as well as by the port and har bour commissioners. The viceregal party having taken their places, his Excellency shook the mayor warmly by the hand, and assured him that be had never felt anything more deeply than the enthusiastic reception he had met with in the city of Derry and its neighbourhood. The special train then started, amid the cheers of the spectators and the firing of canon, and thus ended his excellency's visit to Londonderry. His excellency was to have spent yesterday at Garron Tower, the seat of the Marchioness of Lond o nder r y , and, according to the programme of his tour, he would arrive in Belfast early to day. SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE. The following despatch, dated Cork, yesterday evening, gives the fullest particulars of this catastrophe :—" The ship Cairo, of New York, Capt. Wooster, arrived in Cork harbour yesterday (Saturday), with a cargo of timber from Savannah, for orders, with Capt. W. H. Platt, of the Ame rican barque Mayflower, and a portion of the crew of the vessel, on board, whom she bad picked up at sea. The May flower sailed from New Orleans on the 9th of July last, with a cargo of staves for Nantes, and with a crew of 11 hands, a stewardess, the captain's wife, and three cabin and six steerage passengers. Oa the 3cl August she was capsized in a gale of wind in lat. 41 N., long. 44 W.; and the captain, his wife, four of the crew, and two cabin passengers, MM. Vernear and Dusseau, both Frenchmen, managed to get on to the vessel's bottom, where they clung for some time; but the sea ran so high that the captain's wife and the two French gentlemen, MM. Vernear; and Dusseau, were washe d off and lost. The re mainder held on for about half an hour, when the foremast, mainmast, and wizen topmast broke away, and the vessel righted, but was full of water. Two passengers, M. Victor Palanque, M. Dechan, two boys named Bernard, Mre.Rer ney, the stewardess, her son, and six of the crew, were found drowned in her when she righted. The others still succeeded in holding on, but with little prospect of eventually saving their lives, as the gale continued to blow with unabated vio lence, and there was no chance of assistance. On the fol lowing day, however, thte Cairo fell in with them, after they had spent a terrible night, clinging to the wreck, and ex posed to all the fury of the gale, and brought theta into Cork harbour. Captain Platt, on the arrival of the ship in port, wrote a letter expressive of his deep gratitude for the kind ness be and the remnant of his crew had met with at the hands of Captain Wooster, of the Cairo. The latter vessel left again on Saturday for Amsterdam, leaving Captain Platt and his men to the care of the American Consular agents, Messrs. John Dawson and Co." THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. The following interesting calculations are taken from the Ulsterman, a Belfast paper :—" A curious mistake occurred a few days ago in connection with the telegraphic cable, which has been so successfully laid between Ireland and the American continent. One of the first messages transmitted by the sub-oceanic cable from the Irish terminus to New foundland was to this effect: It is twelve noon in Dublin; what o'clock is it with you?' The reply to this, as the magnetic telegraph informed the public, was eight o'clock in the evening.' There is s om e confusion with regard to this matter. The question of east and west longitude, and the difference of time between Ireland and America is now, therefore of some importance. Time and space are practi cally annihilated between the New World and the western portions of the Old. An intelligent friend has favoured us with the following calculation, in the reading of which it must be borne in mind that Belfast Iliac—the longitude being to the eastward—is always in advance of the dials in the transatlantic towns. The following is the calculation referred to : St. John's 52 degs. 38 mins. west long. Belfast 5 degs. 55 mins. „ Difference of long 46 degs. 43 mins. 11 Difference of time New York 74 degs. 2 mins.

Difference of time Belfast, 12 o'clock noon, corresponds with the following hours at the places stated : New Orleans 6 hours 24 mins. a.m. New York 7 hours 28 mins. a.m. St. John's Washington 8 7 hours 16 mins. a.ra. Halifax San Francisco The 111, -------- THE MANCHESTER POST-OFFICE.—The Manchester Pest-office site, in John Dalton-street, after being decided upon twice, is again unsettled, by the leading merchants having taken up the question. These gentlemen are much dissatisfied at the selection of a place outside business circles for the new Post-office, and at a s pecial meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, hel d yesterday, en the subject, it was all but unanimously agreed that the best site would be one at present partly occ u p ied by the Queen's Theatre, and bounded on three sides by Spring-gardens, York-street, and ye F ste u r N d E ay i k 4 fer O riTwod r mh: Fountain-street, and to urge its adoption upon the Post office authorities.

Shaffner, In the New York papers, the Emperor of Russia four years back resolved upon the formation of a telegraph line.froui St. Petersburg to the Russian possessions in North America, and thence to San Francisco. Its course was to be from St. Petersburg to Moscow, thence across the Ural Mountains into Asia, passing through Irkutsk to the Sea of Okhotsk, and thence from Kamt s chatka across the Sea of Kamt schatka to Cook's Inlet, in Russian America. This line, by a connexion with the River Amour and Mantchouria, would bring St. Petersburg lid Pekin into direct communication.

MENACING ASSAULT WITH A DAGGER IN A RAIL WAY CARRIAGE.—On Thursday, at Aberford, Yorkshire, the Count of St. Albans, described as Alexander Mauduit, alias Alexander de Saint Albans d'Orleans, otherwise Count Saint Albans, of York, teacher of languages, was charged with having, on the 29th ult., in a railway carriage belonging to the North-Eastern Company, on a portion et the line between Newton Kyme and Tadcaster, assaulted Mr. Joseph Swale, of Boston, Spa, gentleman, and formerly of York. It appeared that Mr. Swale, at Thorp Arch station, attempted to enter a third-class carriage for York, in which was the count, who said there was no room. Mr. Swale got in, however. and found only two other persons and the count in that compartment. When Mr. Swale, with a child of 2} years, and a nurse girl, got seated, he told the count he dared not have obstructed his entrance into a carriage abroad, or he would have been given in care of the gent ,- d'armes. The count replied ; a quarrel ensued ; and Mr. Swale having said something about so many foreign vaga bonds being in this country, a disgrace to their country and themselves, the count drew n stiletto, and said, "Me kill you." Mr. Swale bad the child on his knee at the time, or, in the opinion of himself and the two other persons present, the count would have stabbed li s im. l There eo was a second charge against the cou nt by 31 the Ch .
