MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return completed to the 13th June is of a rather satisfactory character. The stock of bullion has been increased by nearly a quarter of a million, while the relicrve of notes has been strengthened by over half a million. The other securities, owing to the advances made upon Go• vernment Stock during the closin-g of the transfer books, show a slight addition, but a large increase is shown in both public and private deposits. The active circulation consequent upon the collection of the revenue exhibits a falling; off. The various items and the changes they pr.( 'sent are exhibited in the subjoined table :-- Active Circulation Decrease Bullion Increase .. • • Rest • • • • • • Increase .. Public Deposits Increase .. Other Deposits Increase .. • . Seven Day and other Bills Decrease .. Government Securities Increase .. Other Securities • • Increase .. Notes Unemployed ..

The expected introduction of 'new loans has rendered capitalists more reserved, while, at the same time, it may have had some effect upon the inquiry for accommodation, although the angmented supply of bills now on offer is mainly due to the extensive payments on Revenue account. About £39,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yestetday. The foreign f,xchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited a furtl',er decline in the rates on Vienna and Trieste. A call of £3 per share, amounting to 90,000, is due on Monilay the 18th inst. on the Severn Valley Railway skiares. In the "Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a fair amount of business was transacted, and prices were unaltered. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. Since Monday last the imports of specie hare been about £589,775 and the exports £71,260, exclusive of the following shipments direct from London to the Continent during the week ending Thursday last :—Gold coin—Oporto, 1,180 oz. ; Boulogne, 260 o*. ; and Belgium, 600 oz. Gold bars—Gibraltar, 5,052 oz. Silver coin—Boulogne, 2,000 oz, The Market for Public Securities presents a very heavy appearance, owing to some large sales of New Three per Cents. An unfavourable effect is also produced by the expected negotiation of new loans. Consols, consequently, are rather depressed, being 931 ex dividend. The New Three per Cents. are steady, at 931 ; the Reduced, 931 d ; India 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is 971 ; ditto Debentures are 964 ; and Ex chequer Bills are par to ss. prem. Business in the Foreign Stock Market is very quiet, and prices are rather depressed. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 761 to 771 ; ditto New, 591 to 601 ; Russian 44 per Cents. have receded to NI and 974, and Buenos Ayres Deferred to 241; Spanish Pas sive are 17 ; Brazilian 41 per Cents. (1852) are 87; and Sardinian have improved to 83. The Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 11 d pm. ; the Thames and Mersey ditto, 11 1 prem.; and the Universal ditto, 1- 1 prem. Business in the Railway Share Market has been inactive, and the variations in prices have not been important. Bristol and Exeter declined 1 ; Edin burgh, Perth, and Dundee, 1 ; Midland, 1 ; and Scottish North Eastern, 1 ; Great Northern, and South Western, advanced -1-; and North Western, and South Eastern, 1. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have shown very little activity.

Bost .Rooms.—For our own part, we think i ir n e k d there is something perfecty terrifying into a fine, stately drawing-room, the the po fire-irons barm shining with unnatural brightness arranged in stiff angles, evidently never appro priated to th e i r p ur p ose —th e t a bl es most geometrically studded with glossy, unread volumes of rubbish, and tie besilked and betasselled sofas looking as if they were in tended for anything but sitting on. We give an involun tary shudder as we are left to gaze upon costly chimney' ornaments and japanned screens, whiie the lady of the house is, most probably, making a rush to execute the metamor phose of dress and cap. We would much rather have been introduced to the common parlour, where we should have beheld some signs of social vitality, and thawed ourselves into good-humoured cheerfulness ; but then and there we might have seen a basket of stockings and socks undergoing the process of repair ; the youngsters might have been lug ging the chairs about, and left a tailless horse and wheelies' cart in the foreground. We might have formed suspicions that bloaters had ben e among the ma ti n con di ments, an d oh most dire of all ! we might have found the mistress in a somewhat rumpled morning wrapper and a " fright of a cap ;" still we should greatly prefer the risks of breaking our neck over Noah's ark, sitting down on a heap of un darned hose, and encountering a fifth -rate head-gear, to the petrifying, spirit-damping fift een m i nutes we are often sentence to in a " best room." The children, if there happened to be such humanising things in the esta blishment, look upon the walls with a sort of reli gious awe. They never" play" in the " best room ;" they never dream of clutching at the splendid bell-rope •, they never have the most remote idea of making Lord Mayor's coaches of th e embroidered footstools ; th e y never , think of playing at 80-peep" behind the richly-fringed damask drapery ; they never dare to speculate u to whether, with a stout pin, they could piek out the eyes of the queer little man on the Inkiian cArd-box ; mirth and mischief are thoroughly mes merised, and the little darlings sit or stand as though their life-tide had been suddenly manufactured into the "best starck."—Eliza Cook's " Tottinis from my SHARE IL 'IS DAY.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before the Lord Chief Justiee and a Special Jury.) WHITTY V. VISCOUNT DILLON. This was an action brought for the recovery of the com mission upon the valuation of the timber on his lordship's estate, of which he was desirous of disposing during his lifetime, on account of his leaving no heir to the title or estate. The claim was resisted, owing to the value of the timber being disputed. The case, which was totally devoid of public interest, was expected to last the whole day. EXCHEQUER COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Common Jury.) CUSA.NI V. DALE-BREACII OF PROMISE. This was an aefion brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, a tradesman residing at Doncaster. The pro mise was not denied, but the questioß in dispute was that Li damages. Mr. Sergeant Shea was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Digby Seymour and Mr. Jones for the defendant. The plaintiff, it appeared, was the daughter of a dealer and importer of foreign birds, is the disposal of which the daughter assisted. It was during a visit to Doncaster upon business that the plaintiff first became acquainted with the defendant, and after some time that acquaintance ripened into love. After a correspondence of some length the de fendant made a promise to marry the plaintiff as soon as the necessary arrangements could be mde Everything v ent on happily for some time, but after the marriage had been deferred for a esnsiderable period the defendant was asked his reason for so long delaying the performance of his promise. He made various excuses, one of which Was that he could not find a shop which would suit his purpose, as he was anxious on his marriage to increase his business, and would requ're large premises. After a further delay the defendant was again asked about his marriage, when it turned out that his affections had been previously be stowed on another young lady, who had been absent for some time. On the lady on whom his "first love" had been bestowed again appearing, he wrote to the plaintiff, telling her the whole facts of the case, explaining to her that the passion he thought dead had revived, and that however much he admired her he could not overcome his former attachment. There was no question against the amiability or virtue of the plaintiff, and the case was only an illustration of the old saying, "Be sure you are off with the old love before you are on with the new." The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, £4O BAIL COURT. WARD V. ALBERT GUARANTEE SOCIETY. In this case the rule was discharged. The action had been brought against the Albert Guarantee Company to make good certain deficiencies that had been discovered in the accounts of a elerk for which the company was security. In the first action a verdict was given against the company for £lB only, but a rule was obtained by the plaintiff for the setting aside that verdict on various grounds. Ox cause being shown against the rule this morning, the Court was of opinion that the verdict ought to stand, viz., for the plaintiff, for the aura of £lB, but without costs against the company. POLICE INTELL IGEN CE-( THIS DAI .) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A DESPERATE TlTlEF.—Dennis Larry, a rough-looking fellow, one of a number who nightly hang about the Hay market, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a pocket-book from the person of Mr. John Ainsley, mess man of the Tower Hamlets Militia, St. George's Barracks. The prosecutor said that, seeing a disturbance in the Haymarket, at half-past one that morning, he stopped a moment to see the cause of it, when he felt a touch at his pocket; he turned round and saw his pocket-book in the prisoner's hand, and another man tried to take it away. He detained the prisoner, the other man getting away, when the prisoner became very violent, and bit his hand. As there was a large mob, he got a cab and went to the police station for more assistance to quiet the mob. Charles Brown, 304 A, said he saw the prosecutor take the pocket book from the prisoner's hao. On the way to the station the prisoner kicked several times in a violent manner, and a yoang man who assisted him (Brown) was also assaulted by the prisoner. The prisoner, making a strong but ineffectual attempt to get up a cry, said he was "guilty." Mr. Beadon said the prisoner was not content with steal ing the pocket-book of the prosecutor, but also bit him and assaulted the constable. He should commit him for six mouths with hard labour, and he was obliged to Mr. Ains ley for the way in which he had acted. THAMES. ILLEGALLY PAWNING.--CAUTION TO PAWNBROKERS. —Au assistant in the employ of Mr. William Byas, a pawnbroker, of No. 147, Ratcliff-highway, appeared before Mr. Selfe to answer in a Antninons*.d....ut as.lacthis ~..Lac,L by a toreig,ti tailor, residing in Whitechapel, for taking in pawn five pairs of moleskin trousers, the same being in an unfinished state, contrary to the statute. It appeared that the prosecutor had given the materials, 10 pairs of trousers, to a poor woman named Harriet Sim mons, to be made up, and the whole of them had been pawned. The woman was taken into custody by a police constable named Pearce, No. 120 H, and she was ar• reigned on the charge of illegally pawning, ordered to leave the dock, and go into the witness box. On being sworn she stated that she pawned the five pairs of trousers now produced at the shop of Mr. Byas. Three were pawned at one time on the 18th of April, and two pairs on the 12th of the same month. She lent her landlady five other pairs, and they were also pawned at the defendant's shop. Mr. Byas's assistant said he only knew of the five pairs of trousers produced, and they were finished. The prosecutor said the trousers were not finished—they were not pressed, and could not be sold in the stat e th ey were in. He had been a great loser by the system adopted by many pawnbrokers, of taking up shop .work which he gave out to poor women to be made up. Mr. Selfe said if the trousers were finished it must have been apparent to the pawnbroker that the goods did not be long to the woman who pledged them. It was not likely she would buy three pairs of moleskin trousers one day and two pairs on another in an incomplete state for the purpose of pawning them. There was not a worse evil in existence than the practice of pawnbrokers taking in slop work. It led to great misery and the ruin of many persons. Ho would put a stop to it if he could. Ho fined the defen dant £2 2s. 6d., being double the value of the trousers pawned, and they must be restored to the prosecutor. The penalty was instantly paid. LORD BROUGIIA3I.—'The rumour that Lord Brougham was engaged in the composition of a complete treatise on the British Constitution turns out to be correct. It will, we understand, be published during the ensuing winter by Messrs. Griffin and Co.—Ceitie. Mr. Murray has in the ress, and will shortl publish, p Francis B acon, Lord Chancellor of England,' b y Hepworth Dixon, being an inquiry into his life and cha racter based on letters and documents hitherto unpublished. This work, though new in form and in material, wiil con tain the substance of the articles which appeared in the " Athenaeum" in January last. CALEDONIAN FANCY DRESS BALL.—This annual fete, in aid of the Scottish charities of the metropolis, has been again so fortunate as to secure the Queen's especial patronage; and from the interest it has occasioned in fashionable circles there is every reason to believe the pre sent ball will prove a great success. A meeting of the pa trenesses took place on Thursday, at which the following ladies were present :--The Duchess of Atholl, the Duchess of Roxburghe, the Countess of Kinnoull, the Countess of Eglinton, the Countess of Fife, the Lady Anne Mackenzie, the Lady Louisa Moncrieff,:the Lady Aveland, Lady Heron Maxwell, and Mrs. Farquharson of Invercauld. After the usual routine matters had been considered and approved, it was announced that three fancy quadrilles would be formed under the several directions of the Countess of Fife, the Countess of Kinnoull, and the Countess of Eglinton. Lady Fife's quadrille will be danced in Highland costume. The other " sets" are not yet designated. THE KING OF NAPLES AND THE POPE.—It seems, however, that the wretched King, whom the Jesuits have trained up in superstition and bigotry, is himself so alarmed by Garibaldi's progress as to show symptoms of the most abject fear. It is stated on good authority that on one day he telegraphed five times to the Pope to implore the protec tion of the Pontiff's blessing. Three times the blessing was sen t by the Pope along the wires ; but when the same charm was solicited for the fourth and fifth time, the offi cials were directed to send the blessing without hnrassing the poor Pope, who authorised any number of b ene di ct i ons to be sent off ready-made to the panic-stricken pupil of the Jesuits.—Record. EXTENSIVE TOBACCO SEIZURE.—The Hampshire County Police made an extensive seizure of tobacco on Thursday morning, near the New Inn, at Westend, a vil lage about three miles from Southampton. The prize con sisted of 36 bales, each containing a half t w o . of unmanu factured tobacco, in a waggon drawn by two horses, pos e session of the whole of which was taken by the luck y cap tors, and the tobacco lodged in the Queen's warehouse in the Southampton Docks. The driver of the waggon was taken into custody ; The name and address of "Eli Stone, Salisbury, Wilts,' were on the waggon.

"Difficult is no wo r d f or it. But, after all it consists chiefly in the knack of the thing. Une must have the wit from such ash trp and Waspish word as No to pluck the sting.' Ido it every day, and I really think that the people like it." " Perhaps your refusals are better than other people's acquiescenees.' " I don't mean that at all.

The annual inspection of the Royal Marine Artillery at their head-quarters, Fort Cumberland, near Portsmouth, was concluded yesterday by a display of practice from mortars, guns, and rockets, such as is seldom witnessed in a single day. The weather was beautifully fine—a southerly breeze sufficient to cool the sun's glare, but not sufficiently strong to produce any adverse effect on the flight of any of the various projectiles fired. Half-past one was the hour named for the commencement of the proceedings, and about that time the bugle sound ing the assembly in the square of the fort gave the first note or preparation, and the deputy-adjutant general of the corps, Major-General S. R. Wesley, commenced his inspection, accompanied by Colonel- Commandant G. Frazer and a staff of officers. The two Armstrong guns at once attracted the attention of the general, and their crews were put through a sharp course of drill, at the conclusion of which the general not only expressed his satisfaction at what he had seen, but also his surprise at the cir cumstance of no ammunition having been yet re ' ceived at the fort for these guns. The Laboratory was next visited, where the first course of practical gunnery was gone through with a party of men summoned promiscuously from the ranks. The principle and formation of Sir W. Armstrong's beautiful "time" and percussion fusees was also minutely entered into, and questions put to the men relating to it, the answers to which and also to the course of gunnery elicited the warmest com mondations from the General. The next point visited was the enclosed battery of 8-inch guns, representing a section of a ship's side, and the 10- inch land service mortar battery. Practice was first commenced from the ship gun battery at a target, about six feet square, distant 550 yards. 'The target was swept away at the first discharge ; a pole, which had been left standing, went the second; and the remainder of the shots displayed au extraordinary degree of excellence for quick firing. The mortar 10-inch battery followed suite, the mark aimed at being a flag at 560 yards. A salvo from four mortars was fired, and the flag dis appeared. Two more salvos followed, and all the shells fell at the spot where the flag had been hoisted. This firing was all the more creditable, as, on the word being first given in the batteries, " Prepare for action," three non-commissioned officers stepped in to lay the mortars. The General, however, ordered them to fall back, and directed that three younger soldiers should take their places. The General and his Staff next proceeded to the beach in front of the fort, where was drawn up a battery of field guns, comprising one 12- pounder ihedium gun, one 8-inch howitzer, two 24-pounder howitzers, and three 12-pounder how itzers, all ordered for firing with diaphgram shell ; a rocket battery, consisting of three 12-pounder tubes, and one 24-pounder. The 32-pounder shell gun on the south-east portion of the works was also ready to join iii with solid shot and shell. Splendid practice was made from all ; the diaphragm shells bursting over the poles at sea, representing targets, at 1,000 and 1,600 yards distance. It was the opi nion of many officers well known for their skill in gunnery, and who were on the ground to see the practice, that better firing could not be exhibited. The whole closed with the discharge of a 24-pound rocket at 45 degrees of elevation, the flight of which was magnificent beyond description. " Cease fir ing" was now sounded by the buglers in the rcar of the guns, and the men were marched into the fort and all mustered, with the officers at their head, on parade ground, where Major-General Wesley pro ceeded, and addressed them in highly eulogistic terms, alluding particularly to the firing fro the 10-inch mortars, and expressing t he gratification it afforded him of being enabled to report so favour ably to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty on the thoroughly efficient stete of the division. The men were then dismissed to their quarters, and thus concluded one of the most satisfactory inspec tions that perhaps has ever been made in the an nals of that corps. The 2d battalion, 11th Regiment, arrived at Ports mouth yesterday from Aldershott. Capt. Saunders's I Battery of Royal Horse Ar tillery arrived at head-quarters, Woolwich, from Norwich, was yesterday inspected on Woolwich common by Colonel D'Aguilar, C. 8., in the absence of Colonel Lake, C. 8., who was seized a few weeks ago, on parade, with a sudden and severe attack of paralysis, which it is feared will incapacitate him for further service. The troops, whose guns have been exchanged for the Armstrong, went through a course of offensive and defensi're movements, a n d a general round of field manoeuvres, and acquitt e d themselves with marked satisfaction. It was yesterday announced at Woolwich that the Whitworth 80-pounder gun at present deposited in Woolwich Dockyard, and which was recently fired off at Shoeburyness against the iron-clamped Aides of the Trusty, has been purchased by the War Department for e x pe r i men t a l purposes, to be car ried on under the direction and supervision of the most experienced artillery officers. The expri nients will take place on Southsea-common. The screw steam transport in the service of the War Department, the Lord Panmure, Mr. 11. T. Moore, commander, sailed yesterday from Wool wich Arsenal, laden with the following store::: 2,500 boxes of Martin's patent shells for firing liquid metal, 1,600 boxes containing 8 inch sh.?lis, 150 ditto 32-pounders, 135 ditto CS -pounders, and 150 boxes of solid shot; together with 1,000 pen t-non improvedpowder cases, eight heavy g lin , ar .. riages, &c. MOB MELTING OF KINGS. There are times in the lives of all men when they have a claim to our pity, and just now the man with most claim to it is the Emperor of the French. He is encountering almost irresistible temptation: But the other day it was arranged that he should go to Baden Baden to meet the Prince Regent of Prussia, in order, it was said to renew the mutual confidence shaken by some expressions in a private letter which a busybody had got hold of and taken to Paris. The Emperor must see the Prince of Prussia, and receive from his own lips the assurance that no Minister could be authorised to convey. So the Prince of Prussia arrived at Baden on Thursday evening, and the Emperor WAS ex pected to arrive last night. The story, as told, affected nobody else, and there was no reason why the two should not despatch the business in half-au hour, and be gone their several ways. But Ger many does not give Emperors so scant a measure of civility. When a great pike comes into her waters every minnow must come to greet him. There they all are—such a conflux as one never thought to see till the Archangel gathered them. The Grand Duke of Baden, the King of Bavaria, and the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar had already arrived yester day afternoon. There were expected the Kings of Saxony,' Wurtemberg, and Hanover, the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt; the Dukes of Coburg, Gotha and Nassau. All the Kings, and it is not said how many other Sovereign Princes, are to as sist at the meeting between the Emperor and the Prince Regent. What can all this mean ? One certainly has read of the like before. It used to be said that "history never repeats itself," but an older authority says " there is nothing new under the sun." If you open a window in a summer evening you have a similar result. Moth after moth emerges from the outer darkness, flies at the candles, wheels a giddy circle or two, is absorbed in the fiery vortex, and falls to the table writhing and spinning in un availing agony. All these people are just doing what their fathers did before them. It runs in the blood. A great English naturalist affirms that trout inherit from their forefathers a horror of the hook and a scepticism as to bait. The German trout love the hook and rise at the coarsest bait. Nothing deters them. The German crow sees his father nailed to the barn door, and flies into the selfsame toils. The visit of the Prince Regent to Baden is, of course, casual. He happened to be going there by the invariable ill-luck that is always taking a cer tain class of persons into harm's way. The Empe ror of the French, hearing of his visit, invites himself to share the pleasure of the excursion. The Prince Regent is afraid that the smaller Powers of Germany will put an ill construction on the in terview, and conclude, in fact, that in return for the Rhenish provinces the Emperor is about to present Prussia with a sackful! of little crowns. Nothing, however, would please the Emperor so much as a personal interview with the numerous victims of these morbid suspicions. So they are all to be present—ostensibly to see that they are not sold in their absence, but we should think also with the idea that positive advantages are not altogether out of the question, The man who can destroy them can do them good, if he thinks fit. The map of Europe is disjointed ; landmarks are removed ; there is giving and taking; a State threatened with absorption may reasonably plead not only for ex istence, but for a modest d egree o f aggrandize ment ; so every crowned head in Germany, except Austria, is to do honour to the Emperor of the French. How pleasant it must be to be reminded of the events not quite two generations back ! Would they like another Confederation of the Rhine ? The gambling-tables aro opened on that familiar scene, and principalities are the stake. Is it to be roulette or rouge-et-noir ? We should like to see them all put down their title deeds on the table, and to watch their countenances as the Im perial croupier rakes them all into his heap. It is scarcely possible to pity those who invoke their own doom, and commit felo de se in the act of dishonest expectation. The Emperor's feelings can only be those of a modern sportsman as he enters a well-stocked preserve, and sees the foolish birds bustling about on all sides. Let us put ourselves amon& the bystanders at this new " Conversation House," as they call the place at Baden, and bet how many rouleaux the Emperor will win, and how much small change he will fling back to the Prince of Prussia. He really cannot help it. "It is the curse of kings to be surrounded." We need not say that Austria is delighted. The meeting at Villafranca was nothing to this, for how could the Emperor of Austria help the stupidity of his generals ? Indeed, he made the best bargain he could, and certainly did not court his fate by obsequiousness. Nothing, however, but an actual appetite for self-humiliation could !ming Prussia, with a crowd of small sovereigns, to attend the levee of a French Emperor at Baden ! For our part, we are sorry to see the material of which Central Europe is composed. We seem to be surrounded by illusions. They seem to flutter round a substan tial Emperor in flesh and blood as the shades gaped and gibbered about iEneas in the infernal regions. It is of no use to have even wishes about such people. they must go their own way, for good or for evil. If they simply disappear, it can make no difference, and certainly will not diminish the stock of Euro pean virtue.—Times. THE NORTH ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Will you allow me, in reply to numerous inquires, to state, in very few words, the progress and present position of this undertaking ? In answer to the application for a survey of the seas and coasts on the route of the proposed tele graph, made by the deputation which waited on Lord Palmerston in May last, the following letter has been received from the Secretary of the Admi ralty : " Admiralty, June 6, 1860. " Gentleman—ln reply to your letter of this date requesting to be informed what assistance her Majesty's Government have decided to give in sur eying, the proposed route for telegraphic commu nication with A mer i ca v i a th e Fa o Islands, Iceland, and Greenland, I am commanded by my Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you that Lod Palmerston was informed that my Lords would take immediate steps to prepare one steam-vessel for the purpose of obtaining deep sea soundings cn the proposed line of telegraphic communication which they consider will be advantageous upon general grounds as well as for the advantage of any company which may hereafter be prepared to establish such communication with the continent of America by the route in question; but their lord ships are not prepared, nor are the means at pre sent available, to enable them to undertake a de tailed survey of the costs of the proposed route.—l am, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, " W. G. ROMAINE." It is understood that the soundings referred to in this letter will embrace the seas between Scotland and the Faroe Isles, Iceland, Greenland, and Hamilton's Inlet on the Labrador coast. The ex pedition will also on its return take a line of sound ings fifty miles south of the outward voyage. The steamer Bulldog, under the command of Sir Leo pold M'Clintock, has been ordered for this service, and will sail on the 20th inst. To complete the survey of the whole r .. oute, : the steam yacht Fox has been purchased, and Captain Allen Young, of Arctic reputation, engaged to pro ceed in command of her to survey the coasts Where the cables will be laid. Experienced gentlemen will also accompany the expedition to d e t erm i ne the land route. The Fox will sail about the Ist July next from Southampton.—l am, sir, yours respectfully, WM. BEVAN. 6, Old Jewry, June 16, 1860. 4110TilER REFORM BILL. The following are the leading clauses of a "Now Reform Bill," es proposed in a p a mphlet by Mr. H enr y F awce tt . (Macmillan and Co.)
