CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Daring the last few days there has been rather less animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, although previous prices have, in most instances, been fully maintained. At the public sales of tea the biddings were active and previous prices were obtained for the better descriptions. Sugars were dull, particularly British West India ; holders, however, were firm in their demands for previous rates. In the better descriptions of coffee the dealings have been numerous, and full values have been obtained. Rice continued in active request at an advance of 3d. to 6d. per cwt., and for cocoa extreme prices were realised. Fruit and spices were in fair request, and a steady busi ness has been done in saltpetre. The Tallow Warket has shown symptoms of inactivity, but few speculative dealings have been entered into, and the demand for immediate consumption has slightly fallen off. P.Y.C. on the spot has declined to 575, 9d. per cwt. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi ness continued rather active, and prices exhibited no change of importance. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with some animation, and quotations further improved. Notice has been given that tenders will be re ceived for debentures, bearing 6 per cent. interest, and having five years to run, secured on the ample revenues of British Guiana. The debentures are in sums of £5OO and £l,OOO each. Continued activity and firmness are the most prominent features of the Money Market at the present moment, and very little improvement is expected until the dividends are paid at the Bank of England. At the extraordinary meeting of the Commercial Dock Company to-day, Mr. D. T. Morgan pre sided, when the report, of which the following are extracts, was adopted :—" The accounts for the year ending 31st December, 1859, have been pre pared by Messrs. Quilter, Ball, Jay, and Co., and show a balance to the credit of the rest' or reserve profit and loss account, of £59,395 6s. 11d. The directors are of opinion that th• period has now arrived when the reserve fund should be appropriated among the proprie tors ; as from the different mode in which the business of the company is now conducted, the floating capital represented by debts due to the company' is materially diminished; and also, hav ing now two entrances from the river for ships, there is no longer the necessity to provide against the risk and expense to which the company might hive been liable whenthe entire business was dependent on one entrance. The directors, therefore, immediately on receiving the balance-sheet from the accountants, determined on calling an extraordinary meeting of the proprietors for this purpose ; and they now re commend that they be empowered to deal with the 'rest' or reserved fund by transferring the sum of £51,441 from that fund to the present capital ac count of £514,410, by a bonus of 10 per cent. in old stock, in respect of each proprietor's present holding, in both old and new stock, which will then raise the total amount of capital £565,851. This will still leave the sum of £7,954 63. 11d, to the credit of the rest' account." The market for Public Securities remains in a firm but quiet state, the few operations recorded not having led to any variation of importance. Consols are 941 for money, and 941 buyers for account. The New 21 pei Cents. are marked 781. India New Loan has improved to 1041 j ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is flat, at 99; ditto 51 per Cent. ditto, at 105 ; Exchequer Bills are 16s. to 19s. prem. A fair amount of business is recorded in the Foreign Securities, but prices tend downwards. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 79 to 79/ ; ditto New, 624 to 634 ; and the 4 per Cents. have receded to 1011 ; Brazilian 44 per Cents. to 904 914 ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents. to 854 ; ditto Deferred to 244 ; Russian 44 per Cents. to 974 ; and ditto 3 per Cents. to 644 ; Mexican remains at 214 ; the Brazilian Loan is heavy, at a dis. to 4 prem. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 34 prem. ; the Universal ditto, 4 4 prem. ; the Buenos Ayres Railway Shares are 11 prem. ; and the Canada Scrip, 14 4 prem. Messrs. D.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.) HOUSE OF LORDS.-APPEAL. Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Cranworth, Lord Chelmsford, Lord Wensleydale, Lord Kingston, and other peers. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. BRUNNING. This was an appeal from a decision of the Court of Exchequer, declaring that legacy duty was not payable on £115,000, in respect of the agreement entered into to sell the freehold lands in question before the death of the testator. • Their lordships wore unanimously of opinion that as the executor of the testator could only recover payment of the price of the purchase of the freehold virtuti 'that legacy duty was payable on the purchase money in terms of the statute. The Lord Chancellor reversed the decision of the Court of Exehquer, and entered up judgment for the Queen. THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY COMPANY V. SIR N. ➢I. BOMAR; BART. This was an appeal from a decision of the Court of Session, in Scotland, dismissing the appellant's action of reduction to set aside the nribiter's award of compensation to the respondent for lands taken for their line of railway. Their lordships were unanimously of opinion- 7 1st. That the arbiter had not exceeded his powers in making the award. 2d. That the - arbitration did not fall by the expira tion of three months, nor by the decease of one of the par ties. And, 3d. That the arbiter was entitled to award com pensation for prospective damage. _ _ The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decision of the Court of Session, and dismissed the appeal with costs. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) NECESSARIES TO MINORS-CAUTION TO TRADESMEN- BARRY V. MACHIN. Plaintiff is a tailor, and sought to recover a sum of money for a coat supplied to defendant's son. Plaintiff said that defendant had become answorable for his son. When the son first opened an account, defendant said " If he does not pay I will."

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up, to-day, was only moderate. Although the attendance of millers was by no means numerous, the trade ruled steady, and Monday's improvement in value was well supported in every instance. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, almost wholly ex-granary. Good and fine samples were held for more money; but the demand was somewhat restricted. Inferior parcels commanded very little attention. Very little barley, either English or foreign, was on the stands, and tho' demand for it ruled firm, at extreme cur- Malt was in good supply, and heavy request. Prices, however, were supported. a t f u ll Oats were scarcer, and in steady re q uest , quota ions. Both beans and peas were firm in price ; and the value of flour showed a tendency to advance. ♦RRIVALS THIS IVZEI: Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The Earl of AIRLIE moved for returns of the number of persons charged with inhabited house duty, and qualified to vote at the election of members to serve in Parliament, within each of the counties and Parliamentary boroughs of England and Wales, also a return of the number of persons entitled to vote for members of Parliament in respect of houses of the rentals of £lO and under £l5, £l5 and under £2O, £2O and under £25, £25 and under £5O, £5O and under £lOO, and upwards in each of the said boroughs, and also a return of the number of householders in each borough inhabiting houses of the gross rentals respectively of £6 and under £7, £7 and £B, £8 and under £9, £9 and under £lO, £lO and under £l5, distinguishing the numbers in each class not rated to the poor, of all rated only through the landlord and exempted from payment of rates from poverty and other causes. The noble lord said he had intended to have moved for a number of returns with respect to the income-tax, but he had been informed from the authorities that it would be impos sible to make such a document. He did not think that there would be any objection to his motion, the more especially as the subject of the amending- the representation of the people in Parliament was at present under the consideration of Parliament. The noble Earl then proceeded at lerg h to touch upon the points of the financial scheme of the Go vernment, but owing to the private conversation that was carried on by the majority of the peers present, he was very indistinctly heard in the gallery. [Shortly before Fix o'clock the Duke of NEWCASTLE in terrupted the noble lord, making some remark relative to the Lord Chancellor, Immediately after which the noble and learned lord (pitted his seat and left the house ; Lord Chelmsford taking the Lord Chancellor's vacant sea t.] The Duke of NEWCASTLE said there was no objection to the return. Lord CHELA.ISFORD theUput the motion, which was agreed to. ._ _ Tho cause of the Lord Chancellor leaving the house, it was said, was owing to a message received by his lord ship of the illness of the Baroness Stratheden CLEFT SITTING.)

The Speaker, accompanied by some members, then proceeded to the House of Lords. CHURCH RATES. A considerable portion of the evening was occupied in hearing petitions for and against the abolition of church rates. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. On the motion of Mr. RICARDO, leave of absence was given to Dlr. Alderman Copeland, on the ground of domes • tic affliction. NORWICH ELECTION. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that Air. Speaker do issue his warrant to the Clerk of the Crown to make out a new writ for the electing of two citizens to serve in this present Parliament for the city of Norwich, in the room of Henry William Schneider, Esq., and the Right Honourable William Coutta Keppel, commonly called Viscount Bury, vvhoso elections have been determined to be void. Ho remarked that there score no less than nine vacancies in Parliament at present, and complained that by the rules of the house ho was not able to move for this writ on a previous occasion, because he could not bring-it forward before half-past four o'clock. A constitutional principle was involved in the question, for it was most important that the representation in Parlia ment should be complete. (Hear.) Mr. GRIFFITH opposed the• motion in consequence of the corruption that had been proved against the constituency of Norwich. He denied. in Coto what might be called the jargon of Parliament, as to the corrupting influence exercised by candidates, and considered that the corruption originated with the feelings and sentiments of constituencies themselves. He believed that a majority would vote with him if they were actually sincere in the sentiments they expressed in favour of purity of election. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT said that he had presented a petition from the corporation of the city of Norwich, numerously signed, stating that extensive bribery had been committed in the city of Norwich, and praying for a commission to inquire into the subject. It was a fact that when an election peti tion was decided, no person appeared to have any interest in the question of the commission of bribery, and no inquiry was'made into the matter. With respect to the petition of the Corporation of Norwich, it was presented too late according to the rules of the house, to be entertained. There bad been more corruption at Norwich than in Gloucesterand Wakefield together, and, therefore, it was to be regretted hat an inquiry couldnot be proceeded with. Thepetitioners stated that they had done all in their power to prevent the screening of the great electoral ;niquity that had taken place in the city of Norwich. , (Hear, hear.) Mr. ROEBUCK said it Would serve Norwich right if no writ for that city were issued for ten years. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He believed the bribery complained of did not take place without the sanction of the authorities of Norwich, and he believed that those who accepted bribes at the last general election would do the same again when they had the opportunity. He called on the house to pass such a vote on the present occasion as would mark their sense of the corruption that pervaded certain constituencies of the country. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BOUVERIE explained that the petitions against the late members had reference to the corruption practised at the last general election, and not at the last election of those members. Bribery had been proved in the case of the Clare election, and he did not see that there were any grounds for not adopting the course pursued in regaad to issuing a writ for that place, so far as related to the city of Norwich. After a few words from Mr. COLLINs, Sir G. GREY said he did not rest the question of issu ing this writ on the ground that another writ under similar circumstances had been ordered, but he contended that on general ground they could refuse this writ. As the hon. member for Birmingham has stated the petition from the Corporation of Norwich was presented too late to be acted on by the house. The election committee in this report did not state any circumstances to justify the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the alleged corruption at Norwich, and it was to be regretted that the inquiry could not be instituted. After some observations from Captain JERVIS and Mr. V ANSITTART The SPEAKER said that the motion for the writ in the case of Mr. Schneider had been formally put by him and agreed to; and the question before the house related to the writ with reference to the voidance of Lord Bury's election. This statement created considerable astonishment, hon. members not being aware of the position in which the ques tion then stood, as some irregularity prevailed when the Speaker put the motion. After some further discussion, the motion for a new writ for the election of a burgess, in the room of L or d B ut y, was put and carried without a division. PATENTS. Captain JERVIS moved an add reess for all sums paid for patents annually, from the Ist day of January, 1855 to the Ist day of January, 1860, and of the manner in which the same have been disposed of during that ported.—Ordered.
