CITY, Two o'CLooK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur ing the last few days have been rather quiet. Tea, since the advices by the overland mail were received, has been exceedingly firm, and prices have an upward tendency. For sugar there has been only a limited inquiry, chiefly for qualities suitable for home consumption, and prices have exhibited little variation. Coffee has been dull, as also rice, spices, and fruit. For saltpetre there has been an active inquiry, and the superior qualities have shown a slight advance. Tallow continues in steady request, and late rates have been fully maintained. P.Y.C. on the spot commanding 535. 3d. per cwt. ; March delivery, 535. 6d. ; and last three months, 51s. 9d. to 525. per cwt. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and 8,000 bales were disposed of, at about previous quotations. In Railway Shares rather more animation was apparent, and prices were firmer. Increased easiness is reported in the general dis count market, accommodation having been obtained as low as 2 per cent. during the last few days. ' Owing to the absence of vessels from Australia small quantities of go ld are b e i ng w ithd rawn f rom st st, i the Bank of England to pay for silver purchased st ' in Prance or Belgium, on Eastern account. Yester day about £12,000 was sent away, and it is ex pected that further parcels will follow, especially S as the rates of exchange in India and China still exhibit an upward tendency. Silver is firmly supported, at previous rates, bars being quoted ss. IZ-d. 11. to ss. 2d. per oz. standard. It has been announced that Messrs. Power and I'Veatherby, who suspended daring the last half monthly settlement, in consequence of the panic in forei gn s h ares, having paid their differences in full, si, have been re-admitted by the Committee of the It: Stock Exchange. The half -yearly meeting of the Consolidated Mines of Cobre Company took place to-day, at - which a report was presented, stating that the accounts had been received after the end of November, but the result was not so favourable as was expected, there having been a falling off in the produce, compared with the p r evious year, of about 80 tons. The last two months' working, however, have been more success ful. The directors made a dividend of £1 per share for the last six months, and the report was adopted. The market for Public Securities has again ex hibited indications of heaviness, the negotiation of a few sales being sufficient to create a decline of nearly / per cent. from the highest point attained yesterday afternoon. Business still re mains in an unsettled state, but if a substantial improvement took place in the 4Paris Bourse renewed buoyancy would soon become apparent. Consols opened at 951 96, and they have since receded to 95/ 1 4. The Government broker has Purchased £20,000 stock.

All THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, •JANUARY 25, 1859. THE PROPOSED LUNATIC. ASYLUM FOB THE CITY OF LONDON._ At a special Court of Sessions, held to-day, at Guildhall, at which were present the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen Rose, Wilson, Hale, and Mechi, and Messrs. Goodman and Martin, chief clerks at the Mansion House and Guildhall, the following was ordered and agreed to : " The basis or standard for a county rate for the City of London, laid before the Court of General Quarter Sessions of the Peace holden for the City, on Saturday, the Bth Jan. inst., having been at this present Court taken into consideration, the same is ordered to be allowed and con firmed, and is allowed and confirmed accordingly. And this court doth hereby order copies of the said basis to be printed, and do direct the clerk of the peace to send one of such copies to every justice of the peace, and to every deputy justice of the peace for the City of London, and one copy to the overseers of the poor, constable, or other person. charged with the collecting and levying of the county rate in every place and places within the said city." Some conversation then ensued, and it was stated that all those parishes, if any, that desired to appeal, could do. so at the General Quarter Sessions to be holden in April. next. After such appeals, if any, have been heard and. disposed of, the court will then fix the rate. ' This being the only business before the court it broke up. His lordship (the Lord Mayor) appears to *be rapidly recovering from his recent severe attack. LA TV INTELLIGENCE.-( THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL.—MONEYPENNY V. MONEYPENNY. This is an appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor Silt. W. Page Wood, disallowing Mrs. Moneypenny's claim of an annuity of £3OO as her jointure, under articles of inden.- tun), on her husband, Joseph Moneypenny, and Philip Moneypenny's bankrupt estates. Mr. Baggeley, counsel for the appellant, resumed and concluded his argument in this cause this morning. Mr. Honeyman has also been heard on the same side. Mr. Wilcox, Q.C., is now being heard for the responden t. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood.) TUDGMENT.-LONGMAN V. CALVERT. The contention in this case was whether the new firm .of Calvert and Company, the celebrated and extensive ale and porter brewers, are liable for the debts of the old firm .of Calvert, Nicoll, and Company. The plaintiff, Mr. Long • man, claims, as a creditor of the old company, for upwards of £4,000, on note of hand. , On the amalgamation of the old and new firms, the assets of the old company, to the amount in value of about £1,600,000 were transferred and handed over by the old company to the new company, on condition that the debts due by the old company would be provided for and paid by the new company. The plaintiff afterwards wrote several letters to the new compm iy relative to the payment of his debt and interest, which was ultimately agreed to be paid by them. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor considered that, as the new company had taken the assets of the old company on the understanding that they would provide for and pay the debts of the old company, and more particularly as the new company had by written contract agreed to pay the debts of the old cm n pany, and subsequently by letter to the plaintiff specially agreed to pay his debt with interest at four per cent., the defendants, the new company, had thereby adopted the plaintiff's debt as their own debt, and incurred a liability to pay it. . His Honour declared in favour of the plaintiff, with costs of all parties to be paid out of the estate. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TEIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. THE STAMFORD HILL BURGLARY.—The two men, Gibson and Rogers, who have been remanded from time to time upon a charge of being concerned in the burglary at the house of Mrs. Humphreys, Stamford Hill, in connec tion with other persons whG have been, and are now, undergoing .punishment for the offence, were once more placed in the dock this morning. Mr. Lewis prosecuted, and Mr. Beard, of Basinghail street, defended. The facts of the case have been so frequently and lately before the public that it is unnecessary to go into further particulars. To-day was fixed for the completion of the case ; and Mr. Beard addressed the Court for the prisoners, who were fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A FEMALE. —Mary Ann Taylor, an unfortunate, was charged with a violent assault on Emily Gardner, under the following circumstances : From the evidence of the prosecutrix, the upper part of whose face was enveloped in a surgical bandage, it appeared that she was in a coffee-shop in Great Windmill-street that morning, about four o'clock, having a chop with a gentle• man, when a little chaffing ensuing. The prisoner, 'who was sitting in the next box, jumped up and seized a glass which was on one of the tables, and in the most deliberate manner and with great violence threw it at her, striking her in the eye, and inflicting a very serious wound. She bled very much at the time, was taken to the hospital, where the wound was sewed up, and she had at present lost the sight of her eye. The prisoner said the prosecutrix had called her " a Irish —." A witness was Galled and corroborated the prosecutrix, and said that there was a little joking, and that the prose cutrix merely said the prisoner was Irish. Mr. Beadon said that even if the prosecutrix had called the prisoner the name she asserted, she was not justified in committing such an assault on her. She must pay £5 or be committed for two months. ATTEMPTING TO " Do" A CABMAN.---Edward Biirke, a tall, rough-looking fellow, was charged with assaulting Wm. Bullfin, a cab-driver, badge 10,273, under the follow tng artful circumstances : Bullfin raid that that morning he was going along the Strand when the prisoner ran after him, got on his box, said it was " all right," and that he had a job for him. He then pulled out a pin, said it was gold, and that he should have it for Bs. 6d. He then seized hold of his whip and reins and wanted to drive. Witness told him he did not want a gold pin. He then said he had robbed a gentleman of it, and pressed him to buy it for Bs. 6d. He (witness) then thought that the best thing he could do was to drive on till he came up to a constable, and then give him into custody. Witness then took the pin from him, and the prisoner, having an idea what he intended, jumped down and gave him two violent blows on the head. The prisoner said it was not a gold pin, it was only brass He bought it himelf, and could point out the shop. Remanded. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION—ADDUCTION OF A CIIILD.—A poor woman, named Catherine Walker, of No. 4, Hanover-street, Rotherhithe, applied to Mr. Yardley for a warraat to apprehend a man named Johnson, a show man, who is the proprietor of a place of amusement com monly known as the "penny gaff," opposite Limehouse Church. The woman made a rambling and somewhat confused statement, from which our reporter gathered that her, child, a boy, was stolen from her 10 years ago, when he WAR only four years of age. The place where she missed the child was "beyond Hastings, 190 miles from London." She never saw or heard of her child until last Tuesday week, when she found him in possession of Mr. Johnson, a " play-actor," who said he bought him for 7s. eight years and nine months ago, and had brought him up as a " hactor" ever since. She had four children at home. She was a very poor woman, and she hoped justice would be done her. Mr. Yardley said the statement was a most extraordinary ' one. The abduction of a child was a felony, and he thought the person who originally abducted the child was liable, and he should like to punish that person. Mr. Yardley then read the clause in the act of Parliament, and said it applied to the person who originally abducted the child. He did not think Johnson was liable under the statute, but if he had bought the child he had done that which was highly reprehensible, and had no right to detain the boy an instant against the wish of its parents. Mrs. Walker—He bought my child for 75., your worship. Mr. Yardley--Well, my notion is, there is no case against Johnson. Let the inspector of the K division make in quiries about this. The magistrate then sent for Inspector Blare, of the K division, and he soon afterwards arrived. The magistrate explained the case to him, and said if any persons had ab ducted a child four years of age they ought to be brought to justice. Mr. Beare said the woman came to the Poplar station house where he officiated, and complained that Johnson had been exhibiting her stolen child about the country at fairs and races for many years, and that he had been stolen. He waited upon Johnson, who said he received the child of a wandering woman eight years and nine months ago. Mrs. Johnson afterwards came to the station-house and said that she and her husband were willing to part with the boy, and he had been restored to his mother. Mr. Yardley—That is a sign of good faith on the part of the Johnson& The probabilities of the case are, that John son did not keep the child away from the mother knowingly. I will leave the:case in your hands, Mr. Beare, and you will pursue your inquiries and take the necessary steps in the matter. DEATH FROM FlRE.—Yesterday morning, Mr. Sergeant Payne, the coroner for the city of London, received► information of the death of Miss Rutland, who resided at Mr. Laurie's map depository, Fleet-street. It appears that the unfortunate young lady was an invalid, and a firo was lighted in her room, and it is supposed the deceased had got out of bed, about 11 o'clock yesterday morning, in her night dress, and sitting by the fire, a spark flow out of the grate and set fire to it. The servants in the house, smelling smoke, proceeded to her room, and found the door fastened inside. On breaking it open they were horrified at discover ing her in a sitting position on the hearthrug, enveloped in flames. The fire with the greatest difficulty was extin guished. Every means were employed to allay her suffer ings, but she died last evening. FOREIGN SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Lare Railways. Paid Closing I Business Price. Done.

The centenary of the birth of Robert Burns was celebrated this day at the Crystal Palace with the greatest eclat. At an early hour this morning trains of extraordinary length continued to arrive at the Palace terminus, crowded with persons anxious, as our friends on the other side of the Channel say, to assist at the ceremony. The London and Brighton Company on the occasion ran specials as rapidly as safety permitted ; but the thousands who arrived by them were outnumbered by those who availed themselves of the Pimlico terminus. The arrangements at the Crystal Palace for the reception of the vast company were of the most complete description, and during the great rush in the early part of the day nothing that could be called confusion occurred. The great point of attraction appeared to be that part of the building called for the occasion the " Court of Poets," and situate immediately in front of the great orchestra erected for the Handel Fes tival. The decorations of the " Court" were of the most chaste and appropriate description, and re flected the highest credit upon the artistes engaged in the work, and also upon the directors of the Palace, who appeared to have entered con amore into the task of celebrating the birth of Scotland's minstrel on a scale of unparalleled magnificence. The scene within the Palace was superb, and those only who have been fortunate enough to be present on some of the great festivals which have taken place within the crystal structure can form any idea of the beauty of the sight. Every seat from which one could hear or see, and many from which it was difficult to do either, had its occupants, and, notwithstanding the immense accommodation pro vided, some hundreds of visitors were forced to be content to promenade the other parts of the building, and survey from a distance the mas sive thousands which, rank on rank, filled every portion of the central space. A vast multitude is always a grand and moving spectacle, but when the concourse is assembled and arranged in such a building as the Crystal Palace, motionless and almost breathless, listening with intense interest to the old familiar songs poured forth by thousands of voices, the effect is too great for description. Such was the case this morning, and at the commencement of the festival, the uncovering of the colossal bust of the immortal bard by Calder Marshall, R.A., we should say those present amounted to upwards of ten thousand. The audience seated in front of the orchestra seemed to rise like some colossal bouquet from out the garden of colours which spreads around it, and to look down upon the great par terre where at least 5,000 forms were in continual motion, gave to the whole concourse an aspect which was grand in the extreme. As soon as- the veil was withdrawn from the bust, a cheer arose that has never yet been equalled at any of the many festivals that have been cele brated here. It was perfectly electrifying, and in an instant was renewed, and kept up the increasing enthusiasm for several minutes. The concert commenced at two o'clock. The pieces in the programme consisted chiefly of the well-known songs of Burns; such, for instance, as " Duncan Gray," " Green grows the rushes o,' " A man's a man for a' that," and " Scot's wha' hae wi' Wallace bled." Miss Dolby, Miss Lizzy Stuart, and several other Vocalists, executed the solos, while the choruses were given, as we have before re marked, by the audience, aided by the band of the Scots Fusilier Guards, 2,000 musical amateurs, and deputations from several provincial choral societies. At the conclusion of the first part of the concert, the following Prize Poem was beautifully declaimed by Mr. Phelps : We hail this morn, A century's noblest birth; A Poet peasant-born, Who more of Fame's immortal dower Unto his country brings, Than all her Kings! As lamps high set Upon some earthly eminence,— And to the gazer brighter thence Than the sphere-lights they flout, Dwindle in distance and die out, While no star waneth yet ; So through the past's far-reaching night, Only the star-souls keep their light. A gentle boy,— With moods of sadness and of mirth, Quick tears and sudden joy,— Grew up beside the peasant's hearth. His father's toil he shares ; But half his mother's cares From his dark searching eyes, Too swift to sympathise, Hid in her heart she bears. At early morn, His father calls him to the field ; Through the stiff soil that clogs his feet, Chill rain, and harvest heat, He plods all day ; returns at eve outworn, To the rude fare a peasant's lot doth yield; To what else was he born ? The God-made King Of every living thing ; (For his great heart in love could hold thorn all ;) The dumb eyes meeting his by hearth and Gifted to understand ! Knew it and sought his hand; And the most timorous creature had no), fled, CoUld she his heart have read, Which fain all feeble things had bless'd and sheltered, To Nature's feast, Who knew her noblest guest And entertain'd him best,— Kingly ho came. Her chambers of the east She drap'd with crimson and with gold, And peur'd her pare joy-wines For him the poet-soul'd. For him her anthem roll'd, From the storm-wind among the winter pines, Down to the slenderest note Of a love-warble, from the linnet's throat. But when begins The array for battle, and the trumpet blows, A King must leave the feast, and lead the fight. And with its mortal foes, — Grim gathering hosts of sorrows and of sins,— Each human soul must close. And Fame her trumpet blow Before him ; wrapp'd him in her purple state ; And made him mark for all the shafts of fate, That henceforth round him flew. ' Though he may yield Hard-pressed, and wounded fall Forsaken on the field; His regal vestments soil'd ; His crown of half its jewels spoil'd ; • He is a King for all. Had he but stood aloof I Had he array'd himself in armour proof Against temptation's darts ! So yearn the good ;—so those the world calls wise, With vain presumptuous hearts, Trittmphant Moralise. Of martyr-woe A sacred shadow on his memory rests ; Tears have not coas'd to flow ; Indignant grief yet. stirs impetuous breasts, To think—above that noble soul brought low, That wise and soaring spirit fool'd, enslav'd,— Thus, thus he had been saved I It might not be I That heart of harmony Had been too rudely rent ; Its silver chords, which any hand could wound, By no hand could be tun'd, Save by the Maker of the instrument, Its every string who knew, And from profaning touch His heavenly gift withdrew. Regretful love His country fain would prove, By grateful honours lavish'd on his grave ; Would fain redeem her blame That Ile oe little at her Awls OA claim, 49 51 96 98 1103 105 6 100 103 113 118 1109 112 115 117 114 116 132 134 83 85 ni 75i 113 115 121 123 111 113 106 108 64 66 10! 11} 92 94 84 E 6 86 88 88 100 91 101 lei 174 10 10 73 74 19 20 94 10 141 141 143 145 1120 122 1163 168 123 125 68 70 144 146 1 104 105 96 98iP 9 1 9i lli 111 9 10 LirrE4 LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

The land he trod Hath now become a place of pilgrimage ; Where dearer are the daisies of the sod That could his song engage. The hoary hawthorn, wreath'd Above the bank on which his limbs he flung While some sweet plaint he breath'd ; The streams he wander'd near; The maidens whom he lov'd ; the songs he sung All, ill are dear! The arch blue eyes,— Arch but for love's disguise,-- Of Scotland's daughters, soften at his strain; Her hardy sons, sent forth across the main To drive the ploughshare through earth's virgin soils, Lighten with it their toils ; And sister-lands have learn'd to love the tongue In which such songs are sung. For doth not Song, To the whole world belong Is it not given wherever tears can fall, Wherever hearts can melt, or blushes glow, Or mirth and sadness mingle as they flow, A heritage to all ? Time, of course, prevented us from remaining until the commencement of the second part, but of the execution of those pieces which took place while we were present, we can speak in the highest terms of praise. The day's proceedings will conclude with " God save the Queen," the following verse having been written for the occasion by Mr. Thomas Oliphant, honorary secretary of the Madrigal Society, with special reference to the Princess Frederick William of Prussia. Long live her daughter fair, Lov'd wife of Prussia's heir, And future Queen. On this their wedding day Sing we a joyful lay ; God bless them both, we pray, God save the Queen! SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
