ONEY MARKET . AND C OMIERGIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, completed for the week ending June 2, is of a satisfactory character, acid shows that a gradual extension of trade is , t aking place. The bullion and the reserve of notes u °th exhibit a slight augmentation ; and in the ether securities there is an increase of about 2°6 , MO/. sterling. This has, in some measure, "cm occasioned by the preparations made for the Payments on the fourth of the month. In the pri- Irate deposits there is an increase of about a quarter of a million, but the active circulation shows a Sli ght falling off. In the other items of the balance sheet there is little requiring special notice, and the `rations changes will be seen from the subjoined table active circulation £20,128,780 Decrease 62.590 18,203,799 Increase Rest Decrease Public deposits Increase Other deposits r, Increase o sven-day and other bills Decrease kieverameat securities No alteration. Other securities Increase Notes unemployed Increase There were no specie movements 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 eases 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 B ank, although partly accounted for by the sub scriptions to the Brazilian Loan, shows that thoso having engagements to meet were cautious enough be well provided with the necessary capital. It has been intimated that a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Rawson Sons, and Co., will t ake 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 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 41 -arket y es t er d ay c l ose d fi rm l y , an d pr i ces were wi ()ell supported.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart and Mr- Baron Watson.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. HANKER. (For the opinion of Mr. Baron Watson.)

His Honour the Vice-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 6 ' was concerned. After considering the terms of the defendant's patent grant to the waste lauds along the shores of the White Sands, &c,, he came to the conclusion that the Crown had totally failed to make out a reserved right to the mines and minerals ander the shores of the river and White Sands; and, considering the general bounty of the Crown to patentees, he extremely regretted that this information was filed by the Attorney-General. It ought never to have been so filed. Ho dismissed the information with eo;ts. 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. 0., objected to the costs being given against the Crown. His Honour said, if the Solicitor-General wished to be heard upon the costs, he would hear him on Monday. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE, &C. Rear-Admiral Edward Stanley, of Dial Cottage, Hendon, touk the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration, this morning, before Lord Campbell ; after which his lordship said : " I hope before long we shall get rid of this profane mummery of abjuring the Pretender." TIM POOR LAW BOARD AND THE PARISH OF ST. PANCRAS -SQA.LINDERING PARISH RATES. The unenviable notoriety of St. Pancras parish in reference to parochial matters has received a tem porary check. The Poor Law Dowd, in the emu.' 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 poor for the parish, on the ground that the Poer Law Board bad no authority to make the order, and the directors, under the the local act, elected an auditor who eatisfactorily audited the accounts. After spending the mom) , of the parish in resisting this wholesome requirement on several points, the court this morning, a f ter hearing the argu ments of the learned counsel en both sides decided in favour of the Poor Law Board and against the directors of the parish.

AN OFFICIOUS POLICEMAN. —Terse respectably dressed persons, two named Tho:nas, husband and wife, and the other Jones, were till- morning , placed at the bar charged with violently assaulting several police constables. Sorg ant Weston said—Last night I was on duty in Eagle-street when I met the three persons at the bar. The two wale prisoners were far from sober, and I heard Thomas persuading Jon es to go to bed. I went np to them and then Thomas asked where a respectable bed could be got. Jones said he 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 .hose. 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 policenian came up and I handed Mrs. Thomas aLd Jones over to him and then went with my prisoner to the station-house. Upon our way, Thomas, who had made a despertite resistance, said he would go quietly, but on arriving at th e t o p of Endell-street, he broke away, but after 4 violent struggle he was recap lured. He struck w e 4 - 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. go with the m , Mr ' iiecrY— ?

STEALING A HORSE AN D C ART AND A HOGSHEAD OF SIIGAL—Jobn Sanford and John Wilmot two men well known to the police, w ere brou ght upon remand before stealing U r. Selfe, a e' horsecharged n d w c i t a h r , t beinghe P ro perty of Geo. Hooker, conc.-r ile d w i th others i n of Great Gadsden, Heft s, and a h ogshead cf sugar, the property of a grocer in the same pl„, e. Mr. C. Young, solicitor, defended Wilmot, who has been three times in custody on charges simila r to t he Present, and has on each occasion escaped c onviction. I t appeared that on the afternoon of Satuiday , the 29 U 1 ult. a carman, named Sears, in the employ of Mr. Hoolo-r,, went to the West India Dock to receive a hogshead of sugar which was delivered to him at one of the ware houses, and he received the usual papers with the hogshead of sugar he got and drove away, He had uot proceeded more than 2 00 yards in the di rection of Limehouse Church, when a tall man, wear ing a moustache called to him, acd said he had re ceived the wrong papers which related to another hogshead of sugar, and that be must go back to the dock imrnedtattly and obtain the right papers. Seen was Tout to drive back his horse and cart with the hogshead of sugar, when the man said, "I'll take care St. St. St. St. At. St, 25 St. St. St. 50 20 10 EVENING, JUNE 5, 1858. of your horse and cart while you go back to the deck." Sears pulled up at the side of the real close to the kerb atone, and went back to the deck where he ascertained that bis papers were quite correct. He ran back to the place where he left his horse and cart, and the man with the moustache. They were mi-sing. An honest fellow named Jacob Keliars, of 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 hogs 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 front 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, Rotherhithe. Brosnahan ordered Sanford to stop, and the prisoner im mediately jumped out of the cart and ran away. lie was pursued and ultimately run down in a stable by George George, a customhouse officer. The prisoner made a desperate resistance before he was secured. The pri soner was arrested in the house of his father, a coffee shop, No. 19, Back-road, St. George-in-the East, the same nicht by Copping, 319 K. Mr. Young asserted that Kellars 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 Kellars, 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. Selfe committed both prisoners for trial, but accepted bail for Wilmot. DRE'ADFCL RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN BEi GI [7,IN. We announced yesterday that an accident, at tended with great loss of life, bad occurred on the railway between Moos and Manage. The Courrier de Dyle has tile following addi tional part.colars :—" A terrible catastrophe has spread mt . urniug throughout our town. The let train which left MODS on Monday evening for Manage, bringing back a number of ercursionists, met with a terrible accident. It had 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 ; Desmalines, 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 expected - 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 har 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 violence 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 Coustitutionnel of Mons says :—" The num ber of killed reported to us as yet is 16. M. Wil putte, 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. Mme. 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." ASSOCIATION FOH THE AID OF DRESS MAKERS AND MILLINERS. The annual meeting of the members and friends of this association took place yesterday at the Hanover-squar e 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 of whom 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 5.. per annum, and during the past year there had been GO subsoribeis. A provident fund was alto 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- Sons did not avail themselves of this safe and profitable 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 2361 ss. 5d., and the disbursements to 3171. 13-1. 7d., leaving a balance against the associa tion of 811. 83. 2d. 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 were unknown in other industrial pursuits, and which were altogether incompa!ible with the health and well being 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 press, and all classes who bad promoted the interests of the society. The business then terminated with a vote of thanks to Lord Shaftesbury the chairman. LLOVD'S SHIPPING.--(This Day.)

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 spac3 of time they did ample justice. After drinking the custom try 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 °yet above bridge, and the drums and fifes of the Coldstream Guards on the Cobler 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. Feu wick, who, from the favourable state of the wea ther, was afforded a fine opportunity for his pyro technical display, .the splendour of which drew burets of applause from the multitude, his finishing . piece, with the motto, " Good Night," having nearly 300 silver fire reports, with 200 rockets, shells, Sze. ; after which the bands played the National Anthem, and the boys returned to the college. CROSSED CHEQUES. The bill brought in by Sir Fitzroy Kelly to amend the law on the subject of crossed cheques is extremely concise, and runs as follows : " Whenever a cheque or draught on any banker, payable to bearer, or to order on demand, shall Le issued, crossed with the name of a hanker, or with two tranverse lines with the words and company,' or any abbreviation thereof, such crossing shall be deemed a materiil part o f th e c h eque 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 or draught shall be drawn shall not pay such ch or draught to any other than the broker whose name such cheque or draught shall with be so crossed, or, if the same be crossed as aforesaid with out a banker's name, te any other than a banker." Simple as this is, however, it is said to excite dis satisfaction aniong 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 chymical , means, it would simply be 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 te better for them to discontinue this practice, and to take the ri. , l of facilitating every legitimate banking arrange ment for the benefit and safety of the public, and thus to extend their general usefulness. It is urged in some quarters that the present bill is unneces sary, the Board of Inland Revenue having just given a decision which allows the drawer of a check to secure its bein g p a id on ly th roug h a b a nker by adding after the word " bear er " the additional words, " through a bank er on ly." The limitation, being thus m a d e p ar t o f th e or i g inal document,r upon must, it is said, be attended to by the banker whom the check is drawn, and will have a force which the judges will not allow to belong to a cross n to get cross ing. But the bankers have contrivedalreeadsynay g checks exemption from the consequences of theyt paying would to order upon false signatures,e pro bably contend that this to a wrongful payment of e anyx exemption applies equally ' kind in the face of specific instructions In that case, supposing any . mistake to occur, or the words to be adroitly erased, th e consequences would still fall upon the drawer. It is apparently , therefore, only by such a bid a s that now introduced that the public cats 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 quAed 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 reads at present, the crossing "and Company" would be of no avail, unless it were accompanied by " two transverse lines." Again, it is stipulated tha, the words "and Company" stall not be wide(' to after the issuing oLthe check, __This would de prive the holder of the power of inserting the name of his own banker, a step which is the only true pFecaution, since at the present time, when persons of all descriptions can have a banking account with a joint stock company by paying a small fee, the mere "and Company" can impfirt only a very limited degree of security.—Times City Article. EXTRAORDINARY ASCAPE. At a quarter to two o'clock on Thursday morning • Mr. J. Johnson, draper, Daans4ate, was awoke by a feeling of suffocation caused by smoke, with • which the bedroom was filled. He aroused his wife, who took up their infant child, and they at tempted to descend the staircase, but the heat and the smoke which came up from below compelled them to turn back. They retired to a front bed t OOM occupied by Mr. Johnson's brother. An other front loom was occupied by two female as sistants from the shop. The heat and smoke awoke them al!, and they assembled in Mr. W. Johnson's room. They broke the window and serf amed for assistance, for by this time the two stories beneath them were all in flames. The heat became more and more intense, and it was with diffi. cnity that the ladies were prevented from fainting. They then wanted to throw themselves from the window, but a few neighbours who had assembled below persuaded them to wait until help came. In the meantime, a man named Hayes had procured a ladder, and assisted by Mr. Ingham ' a publican, ' Le placed it against the front of the house ; but it ; was too short to reach the window where th e in mates were, which was about 35 feet from the ground. The ladder was then placed on the back of Hayes' neck, and on his shoulders, and was held there by some of the neighbours, who were all equally helpful to rescue the terror -stricked family. The ladder now just reached the window. One of the young ladies, Miss Mortis, first came down it • safely. Miss Lowden next got upon it, but missing her to - ttri, shefell. She was, however, caughtinthe arms ,l . s , u:e policenieu and bystanders, and reached eroun i uninjured. Mr. %Vat. Johnson made the thiri de cent, bringing the child wi.h him. By thi time a longer lad.:er had been obtained, down which came Mr. John Johnson, who was an invalid, followed by his wife. They had had no time to dress themselves, only a few loose garments having been thrown on ; and immediately after Mrs. John son left the room the flames burst into it.—Man chester Guardian.

The weather is magnificent, and vegetation is making rapid progress. WAKEFIELD-JUNE 4. There was a good supply of wheat. The demand was limited, and last week's prices gave way about lm per qr, without leading to much business. In oats, b ar l e y, beans, tic., the.market was dull, and prices rather lower.
