CITY _IV Eff'S. _MONEY MA CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England weekly return, completed to the sth January, shows some important altera, tions, but, with the exception of the increase in th e bullion, they exhibit no features beyond those usually produced at this period of the year. The reserve of notes has been lessened to the extent of about half a million, but this is accounted for by the increase in the other securities, and the large additon made to the active circula tion consequent upon the preparations to meet numerous commercial engagements at the close of the year, and also the advances made upon Govern ment securities during the shutting of the transfer books.. In the private deposits there is a large increase, but the public deposits show a falling off. In 'the other item* of the balance sheet there is little change of importance; they will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation X 20,882,2,50 Increase .. • . 771,900 .Bußi • • o n • • • • • • •• 19,145,649 • • • • 178,549 Rest • • • • • • • .3, 166,862 Increase 61,785 • • ) .

In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon no matizial alteration took place, except in the rate on Hamburg, which was slightly loWer. Tenders have been accepted for. £651,000 of the One Million 6 per Cent. Victoria Railway Deben tures at the price of 107, which was the minimum fixed by the committee- of Australian banks, ap pointed to introduce the project to the notice of the investing public. The remainder, namely, £349 p 000; will be disposed of to-day according to the airangement made at the meeting held yesterday. Many of those whose offers were rejected yester terday, owing to their being under the reserved Price, will no doubt apply for a portion of this balance, as the securities seems to be very popular, :411 g to the high rate of interest which they return. Very little business has yet been 1 08. T he but they are nominally quoted 107 to The meeting yesterday was numerously eUded by capitalists and others interested in the eoln -"'Llsrand the proceedings pa sse d o ff i n a very actory manner. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday con tinued quiet;,and prices tended downwards. The files were estimated at 6,000 bales. The Railway hare, Market closed steadily, and values were unaltered. • • Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £48,281, and the exports £512,384, exelu'si,ie of the following shipments direct from London to the continent during the week ending Thursday last :—Belgium, gold coin, 2,000 oz. ; Boulogne, ditto, 300 oz., and silver coin, 2,400 oz.; Ilambro', gold bars, 4,764 oz. The 'English Funds have again been subjected to depreciatiOn, owing to the state of political affairs on the Continent. It is now alleged that 30,000 Austrian troops have marched to Italy, so that the, question is getting very serious, in spite of the reassuring statements _I publish e d i n t h e lfonitezp% This news transpired in Paris yester day, and no doubt assisted to produce the fall of 4 per cent. in the Rentes. There is now a sympathetic movement here, and although the Funds are now a trifle firmer, the reaction at one time exceeded 1 per cent. Consols have been 958 96 for the 11th inst., and 96, buyers, for the February account. The present prices are 96 to and 961 t respectively.

THIS . DAY.) COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Lord Campbell, Mr. Baron Martin, and the Judge Ordinary, Sir Cresswell Cresswell.) CURTIS V. CURTIS. This was an appeal, made by Mr. Curtis in, person, from a decision of the Judge Ordinary, in a cause heard before his lordship in June last. From the statement of Mr. Cur tis, an engineer, late of New Yerk, it appeared that the first step in the case was taken in this court, Feb., 1858. On the 20th of the month, the citation to appear was served, and on the 24th the Judge Ordinary made an interim order, that the custody of the child should be confided to the petitioner, Mrs. Curtis. on . the 11th of March the respon dent filed his answer; on the 23d the wife joined issue, and on the 16th of,April the Judge Ordinary directed the case to be tried. On the 18th of May and three following days, after a great deal of evidence had been heard, the learned judge decreed a judicial separation, as it was fully considered that the alleged cruelty had been made out, and the custody of the children was finally confided to the mother. By this decision. the respondent considered that he had not received that justice which he was entitled to, and therefore that he had been very greatly aggrieved. On the 28th of November, 1858, notice of appeal was given, and as it was the first time such a question had arisen, the Judge Ordinary, ordered that the application for a reversal of judgment should be made to the full Court. In the evidence given at the trial he contended portions of it ought to have been rejected, and other portions— Lord Campbell said the Judge Ordinary was fully ac quainted with the evidence, and Baron Martin and himself had read and fully considered it, so that the applicant need not occupy the Court in reading it in detail. The best course would be to state the general effect, or to direct the atten tion of the Court to any particular part of the evidence. He (applicant) could also refer to any part of it, which should be read if he wished it. Mr. Curtis said he would proceed as his lordship directed. In.the first place, he denied the three aller„ations contained in the petition of Mrs. Curtis. Lord Campbell—Will you be good enough to read the three allegations of cruelty ? • _ _ Mr. CurtN—Certainly. The first act of cruelty was alleged to have been cOmmLed while residing at 16, Charing-cross ; the second at Blenheim-terrace; and the third while living in the State of New Yo'rk, when it : as alleged he struck his wife. My lord, I deny the Whole of the acts of cruelty attributed to me. In addition to the three allegations above-mentioned at the trial, a fourth allegation was brought forward. The acts of cruelty in the three first allegations extended, over a period of from 1846 to 1852; but the fourth brought the period down from the year 1852 to February, 1358. Now, he con tended that it was the bounden duty of the legal advisers of Mrs. Curtis, both by law and justice, to have furnished him with a list of the exact charges to be Lrought against him, in order that he might have an opportunity of fully preparing his defence, but he hal been completely taken by surprise, and hid been thereby prevented from fully answering the charges contained in the alle gations of Mrs. Curtis. It had been stated by Mrs. Curtis that, he had locked her up in a room and refused her father access to her ; but the gravest of the allegations was that which took place at New York, in which city Mr. Curtis held a very responsible situation, as an engineer, where it was charged he refused his wife medical assistance when she was ill, and forcibly separated her children from: . her.' Then he went on to say that even if the various acts of cruelty had been made out, whiCh he (applicant) contended had not been the case, he considered that he was an irresponsible agent, because in the year 1852 he was attacked with brain fever, which increased so violently that he was confined in the Blooliendale Lunatic Asylum, and it was previous to this confinement that the acts of cruelty were alleged to have been committed. Mr. Curtis then proceeded to enter into a great many details of a very painful family nature, and said he believed his lunacy was brought on solely from in tense study,-for the purpose of benefiting hie wife and family, and he considered that he had been treated with the greatest harshness and injustice. Under all the circum- stances he thought that tile peadoner had wholly failed to make out a charge of cruelty aga;nst him, 'and he was, therefore fully entitled to the relief he prayed for. [The case was not concluded when we went to press.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. 'fore Mr. Registrar Miles, for Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE E. M. CHREES. To-day was appointed for the last examination of this bankrupt, described as of Hoxion, draper, &c. The balance-sheet, by Messrs. eeoper and Hearle, corn• mences January, 1857, with a deficiency of £3,456 lls. 7d and ends January, 1858, showing—Dr. to creditors, un• secured, £6,434 6s. ; to ditto holding security, £335 ; pro. fits, £684 ; property, £350; trade expenses, £603 ; rent, £277 ; law, £ll5 ; interest, £181; house expenses, £895 ; losses, £1,526 2s. Mr. A. Jones opposed, on the ground that the accounts were very unsatisfactory, being for the greater part un vouched. The bankrupt wag-subjected tnii long said rigid exatni. nation, and the case was proceeding when we went to press ' SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) [MPORTANT TO LANDLORDS AND TENANTS.-LAWRANCE V. MOORE. Plaintiff sought to re3over £3, one month's rent of a house occupied by defendant. Mr. Buchanan, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the defendant, and urged that he havin_l• paid income and land tax, that could be set against plaintiff's claim. He had also paid militia rate. His Honour—That is always paid by the tenant, You should have pleaded a set off. Mr. Buchanan —I think that it was paid to the landlord's use, and can be pleaded as answer to plaintiff's claim for rent without pleading a set off. The documents relative to the taxes paid by defendant were then handed in. Plaintiff insisted that he should not be called upon to set the sums against his rent, as they should have been charged to the previous landlord. Mr. Buchanan—They were not paid by defendant anti: your term commenced. Plaintiff—They were not due in my time. All rates made in my time I will allow. His Honour—l think defendant must plead a set off, and I shall give plaintiff judgment. Mr. Buchanan—Your Honour will make an order for one month, and that will give me time to plead? Es Honor r—Certainly. EMMANUEL V. ISAACS.-THE VALUE OP A LAWYER. This was a claim for £l5 16s. 3d., an account charged by defendant in excess as commission on some goods consigned by plaintiff to defendant's brother at Melbourne. Plaintiff averred that defendant agreed .that the commis sion should be 5 per cent., and in the account sales he was charged 71 per cent. He was proceeding to read a letter, when Mr. Buchanan, who appeared for defendant, took some technical objection. Plaintiff was rather annoyed, and said it was very hard ; he did not know he should have a lawyer against him. His Honour—lt appears to be an important case ; you should have professional advice, and I will give you an adjournment. Plaintiff—And then I shall have to pay for that ? Mr. Buchanan—Well, you won't get it for nothing, (Laughter.) Plaintiff—Well, I'll get a lawyer, and will take an ad• journment. Mr. Buchanan—You must pay our costs. (Laughter.) These matters having been settled, the case was ad• journed. SERVANTGALISM. THE MAN -IN THE COAL-HOLE. •--IMPORTANT JUDOIENT.--40RDAN V. COURT. Plaintiff is a servant, and native of the Emerald Isle, and sought to recover the sum of 10s. 6d. for three weeks' wages, for services actually rendered to defendant, a widow lady, who had discharged her under, according to plaintiff's statement, the following circumstances. She had entered defendant's service as domestic, at an yearly wage of £9, and had been in the situation three weeks. On Sunday Mrs. Court and her daughters went to church, and upon their return, defendant found praintiff's young man in the kitchen, and then and there packed her at refusing tb pay any wages, and turning herinto the street at eleven o'clock at night. His Honour—When you took the place, did you intro duce your young luau to your mistress Plaintiff—Oh, no I His Honour—And I suppose never said a word about him. What is he ? Plaintiff—A gas-fitter. His Honour—ls he an Irishman? Plaintiff--No. His Honour—Well. Do you think it was a proper thing to have your young man to see you in the absence of your mit.tress on Sunday night ? Plaintiff—Well, perhaps not. _ - His Honour—No. E' servants will . do these things, they must expect to lose their places and their wages. Defendant—lf your Honour will permit me, I can put a very different face on the matter. I am a widow, and with three daughters keep house, there being no man in the house. On the Sunday night in question, when I returned from church, about half-past eight, I smelt a very strong effluvia of tobacco. I asked Jane if any one had been smoking, and she said no—she did not smell anything ; but a short time afterwards she came up stairs and •said "I can account for the smell of tobacco. I put a piece of tobacco in my mouth for the toothache, and threw it into the fire." With this explanation I was satisfied for a time, my not having suspicion, as Jane was a hard working woman. My daughters had gone for a walk, and upon their return about ten o'clock, feeling still uneasy, I went into the kitchen. No one was there. I then went into the back kitchen, and finding the gas out, I became still more uncomfortable. I then went into the yard and looked about, when suddenly a big, ill-made Irishman rushed out of the coal hole right upon me. (Roars of laughter.) • I screamed out and cried -" Murder 1" A policeman was sent for, and with Sarno difficulty he was got rid of. Upon being questioned, he said it was his intention to have stopped till the family had gone to bed. Under these circumstances, and the duplicity evinced by plaintiff, she (defendant) felt justified in sending her away and not paying her any wages. Plaintiff—And you refused me a character. His Honour I must say Mrs. Court was justified. Here we have a lady who trusts to her servant, she having no male protector in the house, and that servant introduces a man, whom she hides in the coal hole, Now there might have been murder here. It is gross misconduct, and the laws says that, when a servant misconducts him or her self, he or she shall forfeit wages earned or to accrue. Plaintiff—l wanted him to go. His Honour—Yes, and he refused. No one can tell what might have occurred, and defendant was justified in acting as she did, and I shall give her .a verdict. Judgment for defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CASE OF ROBBERY.—Michael Cavanagh, a rough looking fellow, was charged with the following artful robbery : John Duffir, foreman to Mr. Millard, bootmaker, of 2, Piccadilly, said that on Thursday night he missed from the shop door of his employer two odd boots, and thinking that the person who had stolen them might again pay them a visit, he the next night (Friday) put the "fellows" in the place where the others were taken from, and kept watch. About half-past eight he saw the prisoner walk up to the door, and from the scrutinising way in which he examined the various boots, and seeing him hastily leave, he went after him, and on coming up with and seizing him he struck him over the head several times with the boot, which .was a clump-soled sporting boot.' He then dragged him into a hatter's shop, and while there a man came in and caught hold of the prisoner, and said, " What are you doily: with the man ?" and then asked him if he was going to charge the man or not. "Witness told him that he would charge the man, thinking the man was a detective; but he found his mistake out, for, on a regular officer coming up, he bolted ; and he had now no doubt that he was a friend of the prisoner, and that, had there not been a crowd round the shop, the prisoner, by the sham de tective's means, would have effected his escape. The pair of boots, of which that produced was one, were worth 325. The prisoner said, in answer to the magistrate ' (Mr. Binw o hana) 9 that all he had to say was, th a t h e s t ruc k th e prisoner in self-defence. . Remanded for a week. MARYLEBONE WORKHOUSE. Yesterday, at a numerous meeting .of the guar dians of the poor of St. Marylebone, held at the workhouse, New-road-L-Mr. Charles ,Beaver in the chair—a report was presented from Dr. Randall, the workhouse medical officer, as to the dietary of the workhouse, but more especially as to the ad visability of abolishing the allowance of beer to the inmates, an order to that effect having been received from the Poor-law Board. Dr. Randall's report stated, that he had directed his attention to the subject of the dietary, and more especially to the distribution of beer to the employed inmates of the house. Starting with the idea that no extra of any kind in the shape of diet or fer mented liquor should be allowed to any pauper as ' compensation for labour, he had been guided in his suggestions for 'allowance solely on the principle of support to any individual engaged in hard labour, and was also guided by the age of each pauper, the state of health and constitution, and the nature of occupation. With reference to the able-bodied, he did not consider the continuance of beer necessary; but a liquid such as broth, with extra bread, should be substituted' at least three times a week. The allowance of 12 oz. of bread per day to men should be increased to 16 oz. three times a week, and women in proportion. He was led to this conclusion by comparison with other dietaries, as, if beer were withdrawn, the dietary of Marylebone would be inferior to any other house in London. The diet he now proposed was on a par with Paddington Workhouse, which was in a much more healthy position. In other workhouses he found the distri bution for labour was admitted, .but the quantity and method of distribution differed in each. The doctor then enumerates the various classes he considers ought to have beer, with various alterations, but adds that a supervision of the distribution was ab solutely necessary, as irregularities had crept in, and a great increase had resulted. The total quan tity of beer consumed per week, including medical orders, was 450 gallons 7 pints, against 425 gallons 2 pints at corresponding period last year, the in crease being entirely non-medical, the medical having decreased. - _ Mr. TAYENER moved the adoption of the report, and said he could not believe the Poor-law Board, if they had the power, would be sufficiently inhu man to object to persons having beer whom the medical officer certified ought to have it. (H ear .) A discussion arose, in which Dr. Bachhoffner, Mr. W. Carr, and the Rev. R. Davis, and others took part, and a doubt was expressed as to whether the medical officer could prescribe beer for persons not under his care, and in order to meet the difficulty, an amendment was carried. calling upon Dr. Randall to make a return of all persons requiring porter in the house. The Rev. Mr. EIRE, the rector, also moved "That the dietary be at once altered in accordance with the medical report, giving to those inmates de prived of beer an increase of solid food," which was seconded by Mr. TANENER, and carried unan mously. THE FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT PENDLEBURY. The inquest on the bodies of the seven persons killed by the accident . at the Agecroft Colliery, near Manchester, was held on Thursday afternoon by Mr. W. S. Butter, at the Packhorse Inn, Irlams-o'- th'-Height. Mr. Dickenson, the inspector of mines for the district, was present; and Mr. Taylor, of Bolton, appeared for Messrs. A. Knowles and Sons, the owners of the colliery. Dan. Parkinson, 'the banksman at the colliery, said the three men and four boys who were killed descended the pit on Tuesday morning before wit ness arrived there. At half-past nine, however, he was on the bank, about five yards from the pit's mouth, when he saw the cage come above its usual place, dash against the pulley, and the rods of the cage snapping, it dropped down the pit. All was done in a couple of seconds.. There was a regular bell signal to indicate when the cage was 60 yards from the mouth of the shaft, but witness did not hear it, and thought he should if it had sounded. The men .went to work . that morning at half-past seven. About 14 cages of coal had been wound up. Men had come up three or four times before the de ceased, and on all these occasions 'the bell sounded. Witness saw the engineer, perfectly sober, a few minutes before he began winding. The engine could not be stoppedinstantly whon going at great speed. The cage was one of Owen's salty cages. The engineer said he had not heard the bell. J. Jolly, the manager, said that after the accident he went to the drum above the engine -house to see where the strap which worked the bell weight had broken. He saw that the end was drawn out of the slit, where it had been fastened into the axle by a wooden wedge. One wedge was placed in three years and Olaf since, and never taken out till last Tuesday. The end of the strap was hanging about . eight inches over the axle. This was the cause of the bell not ringing. The time that the strap must have been drawn out was when the cage had arrived half way up the pit, and when the axle round which it worked was empty. Nothing of the kind had occurred before in the collieries. By Mr. Dickenson—Booth (the engineer) told witness that he altered the bell weight on Tuesday to correspond with a recent alteration in the drums so as to make the bell sound at 60 yards as usual. He only told witness this morning he had done so. The engineer had a prefect right to have these al terations made. I'. Rowe, the joiner, said he altered the drums on Monday to make the cage come up faster. On Tuesday morning the engineer called on him to alter the strap which worked the bell weight. He fastened it as it had been before, driving a new wedge in with it, and stayed to see it work. By Mr. Dickenson—lt was a new and seasoned wedge, and it fitted tight. The subsequent evidence proved the finding of the bodies, that the engineer was quite sober, and that the new wedge could not be found. The Coroner, in summing up, said if any person was blameable it appeared to be the joiner, as the wedge seemed not to have been put in securely, which wa§ the cause of all the mischief. After a short consultation, the jury returned a verdict of accidental death. . The Coroner censured R owe ( the joiner) for not being more careful ; and Mr. Dickenson said so many accidents had occurred at Messrs. Knowles's collieries that they ought to . get some very ccmpe tent superintendent. The inquiry occupied four hours and a half. THAMES. A VERY MEAN OFFENCE.—Henry Rickett, a tall, able bodied man, about 30 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a pint pewter pot from the George the Fourth public-house in Poplar. Police-constable Ponsford, No. 260 K, stated that at a late hour last night he was in Jane-place, Poplar, and saw the prisoner standing close by a wall and stamp upon some thing on the ground. The prisoner then picked up what he had stamped upon and put it under his coat. He went up to the prisoner and took from him a battered pint pot. He asked him where he obtained the pot, to which he replied that he picked it up in a drain in High-street, Poplar. The prisoner, in defence, said that he "met." with the pot in High-street, Poplar, and kicked it along for some time, and that was the cause of its being so battered. Mr. Yardley—The police-constable says you stamped upon the pot, and frogt its appearance I have no doubt that was the case. The prisoner —I did not do any such thing. Mr. Yardley—Call Mr. Evans. Mr. William Evans, landlord of the George the Fourth public-house, in Bow-lane, Poplar, stated that the prisoner came to his house last night and asked for a pint of porter, and he was served with it by the servant in the best parlour pint -pot—the one produced. The barmaid served the pri soner and missed the pot a few minutes after he left the house. Mr. Yardley said these sort of robberies were generally committed by old and decrepid ° men and women, who by idleness and drunkenness had got their minds into such a state .that they • would pilfer little things, and particularly publican's measures, for which they obtained a few halfpence from a marine store-dealer, but be was very much surprised at a stout able-bodied man in good health and apparently in good circumstances, committing so mean an offence. He thought when he first saw the prisoner it was a mistake. The prisoner—lt is a mistake. Mr. Yardley—A mistake, sir, it is a fact, you stole the pot. What are you ? The prisoner —I work at the West India Dock. Mr. Evans—He has been a frequent customer, the lasi man I should suspect. Mr. Yardley—l suppose so. Do you deny the theft? The prisoner —I do. I picked up the pot. Mr. Yardley—As you so very stoutly deny the robbery I shall commit you for trial. Take the depositions. Th e prisoner was finally remanded until Tuesday for inquiries to be made about him. THIS LAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

Yesterday morning William Burgess was hung m front of the county gaol of Somerset for the mm der of his infant daughter in Exmoor Forest. Subsequently to his conviction, Burgess, who was deplorably ignorant, received unremitting attention from the Rev. F. House, the chaplain, and he was also visited at his own request once by the Rev. Thornton, clergyman of • the parish in which he lived, and several times by the Rev. W. R. Clarke, curate of St. Mary Magdalene, Taunton. He freely acknowledged his guilt to these rev. gentlemen, but seemed perversely to believe that he should atone for his crime by self-destruction. To prevent him from committing suicide he was constantly watched, but the idea seemed to have been entertained by him almost to the last moment of his life. At various times he had interviews with his bro ther and with two of his daughters, which were necessarily deeply distressing to th e re l a ti ves, and which seemed to have a depressing effect on the mind of the wretched man himself. On retiring to rest on the evening before his execution, Burgess declined to take off his clothes. The turnkeys who had charge of him report that he slept but little, and that he got up between two and three o'clock and engaged in prhyer. He sub sequently took off the prison dress which he had worn since his conviction, and put on the clothes in which he was attired when apprehended. A breakfast t of the ordinary gaol dietary was provided for him, which he ate, and was 'shortly afterwards visited by the governor and chaplain. At eight o'clock the convict and the other prisoners were taken to the chapel of the gaol, where divine service was performed, but the Eucharist was not administered to the condemned criminal. Caleraft received the prisoner at the ter. mination of the service, and having pinioned his arms, to which operation he submitted with a forti tude that had not been anticipated, the procession proceeded to the scaffold. A deep silence pervaded the multitude as the toiling of the chapel bell gave signal that the fune ral procession of the yet living culprit had started, and the boldest of their numbers held their breath as the gaol warder, followed by the chaplain, the criminal, and the executioner mounted the scafibld. Burgess walked firmly up, and was placed under the fatal beam. The chaplain concluded the read ing of the burial service, Calcnift performed his functions as the hangman, and the preparations for carrying the sentence of the law into effect having been completed, the officials descended, leaving the culprit alone. The bolt was almost immediately withdrawn, and, after a few throes of mortal agony, Burgess yielded up his life. In an hour afterwards the body was cut down and'touried within the pr e . eincts o , l' the gaol. The crowd dispersed almost as soon as the cri minal was no more. M. Emile de Girardin has , accepted, without salary, the post of manager of the unfortunate Napoleon Docks, which he hopes to resuscitate. He proposes to buy the old shares of 125 f., which have lately been fetching only 40f. in the market, at . 65f. for money, or to give shares in the newly-organised company at the rate of 85f. THE NAVY. We understand that it is the intention of Sir John Pakington, in distributing to distinguished naval officers the few 'rewards of i nerit orions conduct which are at the disposal of th e First Lord of the Admiralty, to di v id e th e m as ecnally an d f a i rly as possible among the m os t deserving officers, and therefore not he rea ft er t o g i v e good servi ce pen sions to the superintendents of ack.k or victualling. yards, or officers holding other profitable appoint ments, during the time of holding such positions. A letter from Malta, dated the Ist of Jan., says : —" Her Majesty's steam despatch vessel Caradoc returned from Cagliari, on the 28th of Dec., with Mr. Superintending Engineer Andrews, of the,lvle diterranean Extension Telegraph Company, the operations of which at Malta continue suspended from the breaking of the submarine cable. She re turned to Cagliari on the 30th, with India tele grams for Government, to be despatched thence for London. Her Majesty's steam frigate Euryalus left Royal Malta f or T unis on the 30th, having.on board his Highness Prince Alfred. The Vectis, Commander It. Roberts came into port the day before yesterd a y from Marseilles ' with the overland portion of the outward Indial mail and mer chandise. The Panther, Commander N. Rosk rell, arrived also from Alexandria, having on board the overland portion of the home ward India mail and merchandise. The Sultan, Commander N. Cook, arrived on the night of the 30th from Alexandria, having en board the heavy portion of the homeward India mail, passengers, and merchandise. She proceeded to Gibraltar and Southampton a few hours after. The Indus arrived on the 31st from Southampton and Gibraltar, with the heavy portion of the outward India mail. She left for Alexandria a few hours after." The Trusty, 14, floating battery, has been towed from Chatham to Shoeburyness by the African and Adder steam vessels, for the purpose of being moored several miles out at sea to serve as a floating target for the guns from the long range practising battery at Shoeburyness. The - Enterprise, 4, one of the abandoned Arctic discovery ships, which was given up to the British Government and sent to Chatham, has had her lcwer decks removed, and the whole of her internal fittings taken out, and was yesterday navigated to Sheerness, to be used as a coal depot for the vessels of the steam reserve fleet at Chatham and Sheerness. A court-martial was held yesterday morning on board her Majesty's flagship Victory, at Portsmouth, Captain G. H. Seymour, C. 8., to try the Assistant- Engineer of the Second Class (Mr. Chas. Franks), belonging to her Majesty's troopship Urgent, for damage done to certain boilers during the time of his being in charge on or about the 21st Dec., 1858, and to inquire into his conduct on that occasion. The Court comprised—President, Rear4dmiral the Hon. G. Grey, Superintendent of her Majesty's dockyard; Captains G. H. Seymour, C. 8., Victory; It. Harris, Britannia ; T. H. Mason, Curaeoa ; Commander H. C. Hurston, St. Vincent. The Court, having heard the evidence of the several witnesses, found that the charges were proved, and reprimanded the said Chas. Franks, and admonished him to be more careful for the future. The prisoner submitted to the hon. Court, several excellent testi monials as to sobriety and general attention to his duties. The troop transport Cospatrick, appointed to convey to India the detachments which embarked in the Bombay, is daily expected at Plymouth. Meanwhile, some of the gentry in the neighbour hood—including Mrs. Grylls, and Mr. Mills, for merly- of the East India Company's Service, have been entertaining some of the non-commissioned officers and men at Mannamead, near Plymouth. The last of these entertainments took place on Thursday, when about 30 assembled, and partook of tea and refreshments . at the residence of Mr. Mills, where several ladies, some clergymen, and others, addressed them on religious and other topics, and made them presents of bibles, prayer-books, &c. This exhibition of a desire to contribute to their social advancement is greatly esteemed by the troops, especially on the eve of their departure. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-sloop Alecto, Commander James Hunt, from the west coast of Africa, arrived at Woolwich yesterday, to return stores, and prepare for being paid off. The Jason, troop-ship, haling been supplied with a new lifeboat to replace one lost by collision with the brig Betsey, of Scarborough, sailed from Ports mouth on Thursday. THE ARMY. The East India screw steamer Asia, Commander Darke, arrived at Gravesend yesterday from Cal cutta, with sick and wounded troops onboard from Delhi, Lucknow, Cawnpore, and the other mutinous district: in India. The invalid troops, to the num-. ber of 192 men of all ranks, with 25 women and children, embarked at Calcutta on the 23d of Sept., and sailed on the 25th of the same month. During the passage 14 of the troops died, viz.—Sergeant Dun bar, 12th Lancers ; Sergeant Hendry, Gth Foot; Sergeant Murphy, 53d Regiment; Sergeant Airey, 77th Regiment; Privates Robinson, 54th; Mac kenzie, 79th ; Adams, 77th ; Young, 77th ; Johnson, 32d; Cooper, 12th Lancers ; 'lardy, Royal Artil lery ; Malby, 90th ; Barham, Royal Artillery ; and Torrens, Military Train. There were also three other deaths on board. An ornamental piece of ordnance, cast in a cotri position- of brass and . a mixture of some other more valuable metal;said;to be gold, presented some years ago to her Majesty by Sir J. Brooke, the Rajah of SaraWak, and supposed to have been a wall piece at the entrance of the Royal residence, was yester day mounted on a carriage. in the carriage. depart ment of the Woolwich Arsenal,- fiar transmission to the Royal Armoury at Windsor Palace. The gun appears to be of very ancient date and manufacture and undergone considerable service. Its calibre is between that of a 6 and 9 pounder of our artillery of the present day. The limber, carriage, wheels, &c., are made of solid Spanish mahogany, and are elaborately decorated with ornamental and filigree work in bronze leaf. The handspike affixed to the limber and other parts of the carriage are orna mented with the dolphin, to correspond with a couple of these animals standing in alto-relievo over the trunnions of the gun. The wheels are also edged and capped with bronze of similar pattern. The wood work is highly polished and varnished, and cemented together with such precision that it is difficult to discern the spots where the timbers arc brought together. The work is pronounced one of the most perfect specimens of the art hitherto turned out of the Arsenal. The d6ign is original, and according to an inscription affixed to the breast of the carriage, between the brackets supporting the piece, is the - manufacture of Mr. Morris, the master wheelwright in the carriage department of the Arsenal. A military Court sat last week at Devonport for the purpose of examining certain charges preferred by Captain Flamank, of the troop-ship Bombay, against Captain Steel, 17th Lancers, who was in military command when that ship was recently dis masted on her passage from London to Cork. As the Court sat with closed doors very little is known, excepting that all the junior military officers and several non-commissioned officers were examined, and that the business was completed on Saturday, tke Ist inst. This inquiry appears to have created quite a sensation among the men, who addressed the Court in a memorial, which expresses in strong terms their entire approbation of Captain Steel's conduct while in command of them at sea. This memorial was read at Mannamead on Thursday. It is signed, by one or more non-commissioned offi cers, and one private belonging to each of the 12 detachments. CASUALTIES IN INDIA.
