MONEY MARKET AN!) COIaIIII3,CIAL CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Bank of England return, completed for the Week ending June 2, is of a satisfactory character, and shows that a gradual extension of trade is taking place. The bullion and the reserve of notes both exhibit a slight augmentation ; and ix the other securities there is an increase of about 20 0,0001. sterling. This has, in some measure, been occasioned by the preparations made for the Payments on the fourth of the month. In the pri nt° deposits there is an increase of about a quarter of a million, but the active circulation shows a slight falling off. In the other items of the balance sheet there is little requiring special notice, and the various changes will be seen from the subjoined table : Active circulation Decrease Bullion ..... 62.590 18,203,799 Increase Rest 91,397 3,156,942 Decrease Public deposits Increase Other deposits 14,365,5]2 Increase Seven-day and other bills Decrease Government securities No alteration. Other securities . . 14,784,528 Increase notes unemployed Increase There were no specie moyements of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The commercial payments of the 4th of the month were completed in a satisfactory manner, no serious Cues of default having been reported. It is stated that the aggregate amount of paper which arrived at maturity was not so large as usual, and the important increase of " other securities" at the Bank, although partly accounted for by the sub scriptions to the Brazilian Loan, shows that those having engagements to meet were cautious enough to be well provided with the necessary capital. It has been intimated that a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Rawson Sons, and Co., will take place early next week, when a balance-sheet will be presented, and a course decided upon with regard to the winding-up of their estate. Payment in full, with 5 per cent. interest is expected, and it is thought that after all claims are discharged a surplus will remain of 35,0001. or 40,0001. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices were Well supported. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales, 3,000 of which were taken on specu lation and for export. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about 557,0241., and the exports 188,1021., exclusive of the following shipments direct from London to the Continent during the week ending Thursday last Gold Coin—Hambro' 260 oz. —Rotterdam....... 6O S 9 SP - Boulogne 36,060 —Belgium Siiv'er Coin—Belgium —Rotterdam —Calais —Boulogne The '' market for the English Funds has been very dull to-day, owing partly to the closing of the Trans fer Books, but there is a general disinclination to engage in extensive speculation.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. RANMER. (For the opinion of Mr. Baron Watson.) The learned Baron took his seat on the bench, and delivered his opinion in this case, this morning. The learned Baron said that thia was an information filed by the Attorney-General on the part cf the Crown, claim ing a right to the mines and minerals under the sea shores of the White Sands and River Dee, in the domain of Ingle&ld. The defendant contended that these mines and minerals passed to him under his patent right to waste lands along the sea shores. The learned baron, after considering the respective claims of the parties, the terms of the patent grant, and previous decisions of the Court in such causes, came to the conclusion—let, That the terms of the defendant's patent were sufficient to convey a right t ) the mines and minerals in question ; and 2.1, that the conveyance to him of "waste lands along the sea shore" included under it the mines and minerals under the sea and river chores and White Sands. 26 13 3 / 4 20 .

Sears pulled up at the side of the road close to the kerb stone, and went back to the dock where he ascertained that his papers were quite correct. He ran back to the place where ho left his horse and cart, and the man with the moustache. They were missing. An honest fellow named Jacob Kellars, cf Devon shire-street, Commercial-road, who said he was by trade a lighterman, and worked as a labourer, frustrated the designs of the gang, who intended to steal the hog, head. He saw the man with the moustache stop the carman, and directly the latter turned his back the man with the moustache beckoned to the prisoners, who were on the opposite side of the road, and they crossed over and removed the nosebag from the horse. Sanford then jumped into the cart and drove away, followed by Wilmot and another. Kellars gave information to a police-constable named Hugh Brosnahan, 261 K, that a robbery had been committed. Brosnahan started off in pursuit, and came up with the horse and cart, which Sanford was driving, in Salmon's lane, Rotherbithe. Brosnahan ordered Sanford to stop, and the prisoner im mediately jumped nut of the cart and ran away. He was pursued and ultimately run down in a stable by George George, a custom house officer. The prisoner made a desperate resistance before be was secured. The pri soner was arrested in the heuse of his father, a coffee shop, No. 19, Back-read, St. George-in-the East, the same night by Copping, 319 K. Mr. Young asserted that Kellam was mistaken in his identity of Wilmot, who had the misfortune to be taken up three times on suspi cion of horse and cart robberies because he wore no whiskers. He cross-examined Kellare, who said to the best of his belief Wilmot was the man he saw in com pany with Sanford. Mr. Young called three witnesses who said Wilmot never left his father's house on the Saturday in question until he was taken into custody. Mr. Salle committed both prisoners for trial, but accepted bail for Wilmot. DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN BE ,GI n VT. We announced yesterday that an accident, at tended with great loss of life, had occurred on the railway between Mons and Manage. The Courrier de Dyle has the following addi tional particulars :—" A terrible catastrophe has spread mourning throughout our town. The last train which left Mons on Monday evening for Manage, bringing back a number of excursionists, met with a terrible accident. It bad scarcely passed the first station when it ran into two wag gons left by some inexcusable negligence on the line. The first carriages were broken into splinters. Ten inhabitants of Nivelle were in the first car riages. Two only escaped with slight contusions. Four were killed on the spot ; four others were thrown to a great distance and are seriously in jured. The killed are—P. Mottet, hat-maker ; Dosmalines, lieutenant of gendarmerie ; A. De winter, tanner ; J. Botte, baker." The Courier de Charleroy adds :—'Six more of the injured have died. Others are not expec'ed to live. The train consisted of 16 carriages, full of passengers. Only the first two carriages were smashed. The shock was terrible. Some of the bodies were completely flattened. A young girl, whose legs were cut off, pointed to a ring on her finger, and then expired. Some of the passengers jumped out and were saved. A baby was found on the rails unhurt. Its mother was killed. A man named Marchinnes was picked up covered with blood. He was not injured ; the blood came from a woman sitting next to him, who was smashed to pieces. MM. Andries-Bryon and Montigny and Delbruyere, medical men, who were in the train, rendered every assistance in their power." The Gazette de Mons says :—" To give an idea of the ♦iolence of the collision it will suffice to say that the clothes of some of the victims were cut to pieces as cleanly as if with a pair of scissors." The Constitutionnel of Mons says :—" The num ber of killed reported to us as yet is 16. M. Wll - inspector of the coal mines, had his back bone completely broken in two. M. E. D. van Mol, of Ghent, a commercial traveller, was the only man who escaped unhurt from one of the car riages smashed. When the collision took place he was sitting next to Madame Brouet, who had a little girl of two years and a half on her lap. Mine. Brouet was killed on the spot. M. van Mol seized the child, regardless of his own life, and jumped out. Both were saved. The engineer and stoker jumped off when the collision occurred, and were unhurt." ETON COLLEGE.

THE AID OF DRESS MAKERS AND MILLINERS. The annual meeting of the membors and friends of this association took place yesterday at the Hanover-square rooms. The report read to the meeting on the present occa sion stated that the results already a• tained were a suffi cient guarantee for the final triumph of those principles advocated by the association. At no former period had there been so much generous sympathy on behalf of the overtasked dressmaker as was disp!ayed at the present time. Two great meetings had been held at which the claims of these young persons had been ably advanced by nobleman and gentlemen of the highest distinction. During the last year 1,448 had been registered, 697 cf whoa had been provided with situations free of all expense either to the employer or the employed. The total number who had registered since the commence ment of the institution was 17,455. The association provided medical relief on the payment of Sc. per annum, and during the past year there had been GO subscribers. A provident fund was also attached to the society, and at the present time there were 72 depositors ; but it was to be regretted that a larger number of per s,,ni did not avail themselvss of this safe and profitabl e investment. In conclusion, the committee urgently ap pealed to the public for pecuniary contributions. The balance-sheet to the 25th March, 1858, showed that the receipts amounted to 236/ ss. 5d., and the disbursements to 3171. 134. 7d., leaving a balance against tho associa tion of 811. Bs. 2d. On arriving at " - Old Surley" the crew partook of an elegant al fresco repast, provided by Mr. Johnson, of the White Hart Hotel, and to which in a short space of time they did ample justice. After drinking the customary loyal and collegiate toasts the boats were again manned, and the crews returned to Windsor, where they ar rived at nine o'clock. Here they were received by a host of spectators, who lined the bridges, wharves, and every available spot in the vicinity. The 2d Life Guards' band was stationed near the eyot above bridge, and the drums and fifes of the Coldstream Guards on the CoVer below bridge, and performed some lively pieces while the boats passed and repassed during a magnificent dis play of fireworks, under the direction of Mr. Pen wick, who, from favourable state of the wea ther, was afforded a fine opportunity for his pyro technical display, the splendour of which drew bursts of applause from the multitude, his finishing piece, with the motto, " Good Night," having nearly 300 silver fire reports, with 200 rockets, shells, &c. ; after which the bands played the National Anthem, and the boys returned to the college. The report was adopted, and a resolution was passed expressing the regret of the meeting that in several es tablishments hours of work were still exacted which wore unknown in other industrial pursuits, and which were altogether incompatible with the health and wen t), ing of the young milliners and dressmakers. The meeting therefore pledged itself to use every effort to ameliorate a system which had been universally con demned as unnecessary and oppressive. Other resolu tions were also agreed to, calling upon the public and employers to second the efforts of the association, and thanking the ministers of religion, the prev, and all classes who had promoted the interests of the society. The business then terminated with a vote of thanks to Lord Shaftesbury the chairman. that the words "and Company" shall not be added --e....—.

The bill brought in by Sir Fitzroy Kelly to amend the law on the subject of crossed cheques is exti emely concise, and runs as follows : " Whenever a cheque or draught on any banker, payable to bearer, or to order on demand, shall be issued, crossed with the name of a banker, or with two tianverse lines with the words and company,' or any abbreviation thereof, such crossing shall be deemed a mat , -ritl part of the cheque or draught, and shall be obliterated, or added to, or altered by any person whomsoever after the issuing thereof ; and the banker upon whom such cheque o: draught shall be drawn shall not pay such cheque or draught to any other than the banker with whose name such cheque or draught shall be so crossed, or, if the same be crossed as aforesaid with out a banker's name, tc any other than a banker." Simple as this is, however, it is said to excite dis satisfaction among the bankers from the responsi bility it will impose upon them. That responsi bility, however, would be very slight, and only of a legitimate character. If they were to suffer from crossings being obliterated by chynaical means, it would simply from their own neg lect in not having their cheques printed on paper that would preclude the possibility of their being tampered with. In other respects nothing but ordinary vigilance will be requisite, and if they neglect this it is right that the consequences should fall upon themselves. Of course, if their profits will not allow them to make concessions to public convenience, they can decline to receive accounts under such a state of the law, but the joint-stock banks, at all events, are hardly likely to adopt this plea, since they find it possible to pursue the objectionable plan of allowing in terest to their customers. It would he better for them to discontinue this practice, and to take the rhk of facilitating every legitimate banking arrange ment fur the benefit and safety of the public, and thus to extend their general usefulness. It is urged in some quarters that the pre,ent bill is uuneces sary, the Board of Inland Revenue having just given a decision which allowa th e d ra wer of a chec k to secure its being paid only th r ough a banker b y additional words, after the word " bearer" the la jo words, "through a banker only." The limitation, document, being thus made part of the o must, it is said, be attended to byrigtaineabanker upon whom the check is drawn, and will have a force which the judges will not allow to belong to a cross ing. But the bankers have alrea d y contrived to get exemption from the con seq uences of paying checks to order upon false signatures, and they would pro bably contendthis exemption applies equally to a wrongful thatpayment of any kind in the face of specific instructions. In that case, supposing any mistake to occur, or the words to be adroitly erased, t h e con sequences would still fall upon the drawer. It is apparently, therefore, only by such a bi 1 as that now introduced that the public can obtain the complete security they desire. If under the Penny Stamp Act it should prove that other methods are available, those methods will be at command. With reference to the wording of the clause above quoted from the Attorney-General's bill on crossed checks it is necessary to direct attention to one or two technical points that will require alteration. As it read s a t p resen t, th e cr os s i n g 'and Co mpany " would be of no avail, unless it were accompanied by " two transverse lines." Again, it is stipulated NEWPORT.

His Honour the V►ce-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, said that, having now heard the opinion of Mr. Baron Watson, in which he entirely concurred, and thanked him for it, he was now in a condition to deliver judg ment in this case, in so far as"' was concerned. After considering the terms of the defendant's patent grant to the wastelands al.)ng the shores of the White Sande, &c., he came to the conclusion that the Crown bad totally failed to make out a reserved right to the mines and (minerals under the shores of the river and White Sands ; and, considering the general bounty of the Crown to patentees, be extremely regretted that this information was filed by the Attorney-General. It ought never to have been so filed. He dismissed the information with costs. In courts of law, costs, in general, were not given against the Crown, but in this court costs were given against the Crown in several cases, and justly given in this case. Mr. James, Q.C., objacted to the costa being given against the Crown. His Honour said, if the Solicitor-General wished to be heard upon the NatS3 he would hear him on Monday. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE, &C. Rear-Admiral Edward Stanley, of Dial Cottage, Hendon, took the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration, this morning, before Lord Campbell; after which his lordship said : " I hope More long we shall get rid of this profane mummery of abjuring the Pre ender." THE POOR LAW BOARD AND THE PARISH OF ST. PANCRAS —SCISUNDERING PARISH RATES. The unenviable notoriety of St. Pancras parish in reference to parodaial matters has received a tem porary check. The Poor Law Board, in the fixer' cise of their authority, issued an order last year for the appointment of an auditor to audit the accounts of the parish, under the Poor Law Amendment Act. The directors of the p3or for the parish, on the ground that the Poer Law Board had no authority to make the order, and the directors, under the the local act, elected an auditor who eatidfactorily audited the accounts. After spending the m3ney of the parish in resisting this wholesome requirement on several points, the court this morning, after hearing the argu ments of the learned counsel on both sides decided in favour of the Poor Law Board and against the directors of the parish. COURT OF BA.NKRUTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) FIRST CLASS CERTIFICATE.--IN RE W. AND T. C. KEYNES.

AN OFFICIOUSPOLICEMAN. —Three respectably dressed persons, two named Thome., husband and wife, and the other Jones, were thio morning placed at the bar charged with violently assaulting several police constables. Sergeant Weston said—Last night I was on duty in Eagle-street when I met the three persons at the bar. The two male prisoners were far from sober, and I heard Thomas persuading Jones to go to bed. I went up to them and then Thomas asked where a respectable bed could be got. Jones said be preferred going home with his friend, and I advised him not to do so, telling him at the same time he had a perfect right to go where he chose. Upon giving this advice Thomas became very much annoyed. I endeavoured to persuade Jones to leave his friend, when ultimately Thomas became very abusive. I attempted to take him into custody. His wife rushed between us to prevent such a proceeding, and seeing I was determined she began to offer a very strong resist ance. Another policeman up cean came and I handed Mrs. Thomas and Jones ever to him and then went with my prisoner to the station-house. Upon our way, Thomas, who had made a desperate resistance, said he would go quietly, but on arriving at the top of Endell-street, he broke away, but after a violent struggle he was recap tured. He struck m e a violent blow on my chest and his wife bit my finger very severely. It took four police men to convey him to the station-house. Mr. Henry—Did you know the Thomas's to be bad characters Policeman—No, your worship. Mr. Henry..—Thee, why did you advise Jones not to go with them ? Policeman—l thought it looked very suspicions, as Jones appeared to be Mr. Henry-1f a, countryman. You had known them to be bad cha racters it would have been your duty to put a ro•.son on his guard. They might be all country friends for aught you knew. You had no right at all to interfere ? Thomas—l never struck the man at all. Jones is a friend of mine. I knew him in Cheltenham. He arrived in London last and I and my wif e me t bins. As he i s night, going to New Zealand in about a mouth we bad a little to drink, and were going home when the policeman came tip to tie. I asked him where we could get a respectable bed for my Mend, when Jones said he would go home with ate. The constable then advised him not to do so, and I felt very much annoyed at his remarks. I did resist being taken to the seation.house. We are all respectable peisone. Mr. Henry (to the constable)—You had no right to interfere. By giving the advice you did, you implied they were bad character s , Policeman —I did not mean that. M r . henry—Then, what did you mean I They ap• pear to be all friends. Thomas --I spoke to the policeman about getting me a respectable bed for my friend, but he preferred to go home with me. Mr. Henry—The policeman thought be was advising Jones for his o /en good. Are there any other witnesses ? Policeuo a e —Ye e . Mr. Henry—Teen we bill hear them. I think you have acted extremely indiscreet. Police constable, 5e , - - I took the woman to the sta tion.g I sa w Thomas etiug g ii„o with Sergeant Weston. Ire Endell street they h ad a good many up and downs. In Bon'-street Thomas stru c k me. Mr. Henry, recalling Sergeant Weston—All this, you see has been caused through Your indiscretion. You did not know the prisoners to be bad characters. Sergeant West to—l did net your worship. Mr. Healy—Then you should not have given your advice without you had known them to he so. They must all be discharged. Discharged accordingly. TH AMES.
