MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The changes recorded in the Bank of England return completed to the 19th inst. are not of a very important character. The bullion has been slightly augmented owing to arrivals from the United States, and the reserve of notes has also been added to, but only to' a limited extent. The public deposits show a slight increase, while there is a diminution of about a quarter of a million sterling in the private deposits. The easiness in the general money mar ket has caused a reduction in the other securities to the extent of about a quarter of a million. The other items of the belance-sheet show no material variation. Subjoined is our usual analysis : Active Circulation .. • • .. £20,857,500 Increase .. •• •• 53,415 Bullion .. 16,379,758 146 556 Increase .. • • • • •,- Rest Increase • .

Decrease .. .. Notes Unemployed .. Increase .. .. Money continues in limited request, and so active is the competition of business that first-class bills are stated to have been negotiated a fraction under 3 per cent. The tendency of affairs, therefore, indicates the probability of a reduction in the minimum rate of discount, but it is difficult to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion as to the precise period when the alteration is likely to be made. At present the Bank authorities are quite out of the Market, and, with the exception of a brief period When the quarterly payments are being made, they axe likely to continue so, unless they modify their existing regulations. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited a slight decline in the rates on Amsterdam and Hamburg. A small amount of gold, viz., £B,OOO, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. At a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Mr. S. J. Wood, cement manufacturer, a composition of 7s. in the pound was accepted. The liabilities were Stated at £9,202, and the assets at £3,590. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a good demand was experienced for most descriptions, and prices were well maintained. The sales were estimated at 10;000 bales. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £144,000, and the exports to £420,434. The Market for Public Securities has been quiet to-day, only a few transactions having taken place, but their effect has been rather unfavourable, although Consols are 931 7, for money, and 931- for account.

(From a Correspondent of the Era.) By the former act of 20 and 21 Viet., c. 85, it was provided that the court was to inquire, so far as it reasonably could, not only as to the facts alleged, but also, whether or no the petitioner had been in any manner accessory to, or conniving at, the adultery, or had condoned the same, and should also inquire into any counter charge which might be made against the petitioner. The description of collusion here aimed at would seem to be the doing of any act by the petitioner with the consent of the respondent or co-respondent, so as to assure a decree for dissolution of marriage. This might be by the husband and wife agreeing that one or the other of them shall commit adultery in so public a manner that there could be no difficulty in proving it; or by previous concert entrapping a third part unacquainted with their arrangements, to the commission of adultery for the purpose of enabling them to obtain damages and enjoy the benefit of their infamy; or it might be by one or other of them consenting to appear to have com mitted adultery so as to enable the other to marry a person more congenial to their feelings and in clination. It seems, however, from a recent deci sion, that the Court will infer collusion where either the husband or wife is induced to be a consenting party to a suit for a divorce by the payment of money or the promise of a future benefit, although he or she was not a consenting party to the adultery or connived at its continuance. The 7th section of the Act provides (among other things) that at any time during the progress of the cause, or before the decree is made, any person may , give information to the Queen's Proctor of any mat ter material to the due decision of the case, who may thereupon take such steps as he may deem necessary or expedient ; and if from any such information or otherwise he shall suspect that any parties to the suit are or have been acting in collusion for the purpose of obtaining a divorce contrary to the justice of the ease, he may, by leave of the Court, intervene in the suit, alleging such case of collusion, and retain counsel and subpoena witnesses to prove it ' • and the Court is empowered to order the co s t s o f such counsel and witnesses, and otherwise, arising from such intervention, to be paid by the parties or such of them as it shall see fit, including a wife, if she have separate property; and in case the Queen's Proctor shall not thereby be fully satisfied his rea sonable costs, he shall be entitled to charge and be reimbursed the difference as part of the expense of his office. The necessity for a provision of this character has been manifest ever since the establishment of the court for divorce and matrimonial causes. In many cases the collusion is so subtly contrived and carried out through the instrumentality of parties apparently uninterested in the matter that ordinary vigilance cannot detect it. To obviate this the Queen's Proctor is empowered ex qfficio to intervene in the suite where the apparent necessity of the case requires a more searching investigation. It will be observed that not only may the Queen's Proctor intervene and call in question the bona fides of the suit, at the instance of the Court, but also where he is credibly informed at any stage of the suit before its final decree, whether by a party interested in the suit, or by a stranger, that there is reason to suspect collusion is going for ward. Another provision of the new act makes the decree for di sso l u ti on o f marr iage only nisi in the first instance, which is to remain for three months before it can be made absolute. This affords addi tional facility to the detection of collusive conduct. If these enactments be carried out in the spirit in which they are framed, it cannot be the practice doubtedbeel ey will go far to put an end to a s of which, if unchecked, would be a scandal and dis- grace to a civilised country. a warm wßhAoTilha.ci—bo2nenTtuaeksindgay night, in Nicholson the -square, Edi n b urgh, f nd by the keeper o f baths lyi ng on his about SU D si D x EN o'c p loc E k B , T a li m lN an A was ou bath at the baths back in the water in a dying state.

ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A CHARIYOMAN.—A723I Smith was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of Mrs. Freeman. The complainant said she had been in the habit of en gaging the prisoner to work for her, and having confidence in her she left her in her house while she went out of town, and when she returned she found that her drawers had been opened by the prisoner, and a quantity of clothes taken away. Yesterday morning the prisoner called at her house, and she accused her of the robbery, which she denied, and said she had taken away nothing but what had been given to her. The property produced, part of which the prisoner had on when taken into custody, was her property. She had never given any of the things to her. On being ac cused of the robbery she ran away. Prisoner—How can you say so, Mrs. Freeman ? You know you give them to me. You know you have often got me to pawn things for you when you afterwards forgot, and you then said you had been robbed of them. The police-constable proved the finding the articles on the prisoner. Prisoner—She gave me the things. I have been to con certs with her and worn some of them. Complainant—You went once to a concert with me, and I lent you a shawl, but I had it back when we returned home. Prisoner—l never ran away ; I was going to meet my husband. Husband (who was in the body of the court)—You was going to do no such thing. (Laughter.) Prisoner—On the day she says she gave me in custody, and `says I ran away, me, my husband, and Mr. and Mrs. Freeman had dinner and some gin together. Magistrate—ls that so ? Complainant—Well, I gave her a bit of dinner after I had accused her of robbing me, and we certainly had some gin, but it was only a quarters. Magistrate—What time did you next see her, and when did you give her into custody ? Complainant—About 12 o'clock, but I could not get any body to go for a policeman, so I had to keep her till about 6 o'clock. ' Magistrate—l don't like to send the prisoner for trial after what I have heard about the eating and drinking. If your husband will be answerable for your appearance, I will merely remand you for a week. Husband-4 won't be amenable for her ; she gets drunk and pawns everything. I've not lived with her for six months. The pr;soner was remanded for a week, and locked up in default of bail. A GENT AND ISIS L►DY,—Jane Hefner, a showily. dressed woman, was charged with stealing a gold ring. On being sworn, the complainant said his name was Brains. Prisoner—That's false; it's Cooper. Complainant—l reside with my father, who is a retired builder, at 62, St. John's-wood-terrace. I know the pri soner, and have been in the habit of visiting and sleeping with her, et cetera. (Laughter.) Last night I passed her shop in Great Newport-street, where she sells pictures and cigars; she invited me in, and asked me to have something. I made no objection to stand some brandy and water, and went to a publichouse in the neighbourhood, where, after partaking of some refreshment, she asked me to let her look at my ring. I did so, and she drew it off my finger and put it on her own. I never gave it to her. The ring produced is my property. Inspector Felton—l think he's witholding something he said at the station-house about having one of hers. Prisoner—So he has. He's been in the habit of coming to see me, eating and drinking at my expense, and borrow ing money which he never has repaid. He on one occasion took up a ring belonging to me, and took it away and pawned it. I have frequently asked him for it, but he al ways said he had forgotten to bring it with him. Last night he showed me his ring, and I tried it on. I asked him when be was going to return me mine, when he got nasty—(laughter)—and then I said I should keep his till I got my own. Magistrate—Have you a ring of hers ? Defendant—Yes, but it's in pawn for ss. Prisoner—Yes, and a pair of sleeve-links, which I used to wear. He's now got acquainted with a little girl, from whom he is in the habit of getting things. Magistrate—l don't want to hear anything about that. It has nothing to do with the charge. He admits having a ring of yours, so I shall order his to be retained until he brings yours back. Complainant—Where am I to get my ring ? Magistrate—The police wilt retain it. You go and get hers, and then you can have yours. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A CLERK.—James Harris Carter, a respec • table looking young man, residing at 4, Nelson-street, Shakespere-road, Stoke-Newington, clerk to Messrs. Now den and Peacock, egg merchants, of Berwich-street, Soho, was charged as follows : Mr. Paul Augustus Peacock said, from information given to him by a neighbour, and suspicion he had of the pri soner, he communicated with Sergeant Cole, who, in his presence, marked 18s. in silver, and at half-past two in the afternoon of the previous day, he placed the money in the till and left the shop in charge of the prisoner, and went upstairs to dinner. Shortly after he was called down by the prisoner, who told him Mr. Cole wanted him. The two marked florins and half-crown produced were the same he saw Sergeant Cole mark. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said that in consequence of what Mr. Peacock told him, he concealed himself so as to have a view of the prisoner. Shortly after Mr. Peacock left the shop he saw the prisoner walking up and down and then go to the till and put something in his coat pocket. He then stepped from his hiding-place, and on Mr. Peacock being called down, he (Sergeant Cole) questioned the prisoner, •who said that 12s. 31d, was all he had about him. He told him he had more, and if he did not produce it he would search him, and did so, and found the two marked florins and half-crown on him. Prisoner said he only • took the money to meet a bill, and meant to pay it back. The prisoner pleaded guilty, repeating what he said to the officer. Mr. Beadon said case■ of this kind were getting very frequent. He was sorry to see such a respectable-looking young man in such a positiGn. Committed for three months with hard labour. THAMES. DARING STREET ROBEEllsc.—A young woman named Charlotte Watkins was brolight before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a gold locket from the person of Mr. James Green. The prosecutor, a veteran mariner, said that he was at the corner of Cannon-street-ro a d and St. George-street, yesterday morning about half-past seven o'clock, and was in a crowd listening to two me 4 who were singing. The prisoner was standing close to Um on the left hand side, and pushed against him. He took no notice of this, and directly afterwards.he felt a tuk at his guard chain, to which a gold locket with a photographic likeness within it was attached, and saw the prisoner with it in her hand. He caught her hand and a little struggling took place, in the course of which she passed the locket behind her to another woman, who ran away. Ho held the prisoner until a policeman arrived, and gave her into custody. Police. sergeant Egerton, No. 11 H, said the prisoner was a well known thief, and had been in custody for rescuing a woman who was sentenced to four yeti's' penal servitude. The prisoner said she was not guilty. Mr. Yardley asked the value of the locket, to which the man replied £2, and added, " My watch is under repair, and I attached it to the guard-chain tempoiarily." Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial. TIIE DANGERS OF RIFLE PRACTICE.--Whilst a lady, residing at No. 9, Tottenham-pla ce , Clifton, was sit ting in her drawing-room, on Tuesday morning, a rifle bullet came whistling through the window, carrying a pane with it, and lodging in the woodwork on the opposite side of the room. Fortunately the lady escaped unhurt, although the bullet almost grazed her head. It it supposed that the shot was fired from Brandon Hill.— Western 3fount News. ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY, AT LEEDS.—At the Hull Police Court, yesterday, an engineer, named Bam forth, belonging to Leeds, was brought up under the fol lowing circumstances :—lt was stated in evidence that, on Tuesday last, a grocer, named Barker, residing in Pottery Fields, Hunslet, Leeds, left his home to go to Rich mond on business. He returned the same night, but found that his wife had fled, and that a great quantity of wearing apparel, gold watch, and about £lOO in Bank of England notes, had been carried off. It was then ascertained that the prisoner . Bamforth, With M rs. B ar k er, had arrived at the William H o t el, Market Place : Hull, on Tuesday night ; and that h e h a d engage d berths for himself and Mrs. Barker (under the as sumed name of Mrs. Ellen Bamforth), and a young girl, to St. Petersburg, in the steamer Leopard. On Thursday night, Mrs. Barker was discovered at an h o t e l a t N ew Holland, near Hull, waiting the arrival of her paramour Bamforth to fetch her away. She was brought to Hull, and, on account of her violent conduct, had to be locked up in the Station House. O n Thursday night Bamforth went over to New Holland, i n order to meet the lady ; but she was, of course, ;one, and upon the arrival of the packet at Hull the police were ready to take him into custody, on the charge of stealing the money and articles. On being searched, four five-pound notes were found upon him, three of which Mr. Barker identified as part of the £lOO which he had fnissed. On board the Leopard steamer were found thirteen packages, many of them containing the articles of wearing apparel which Mr. Barker had lost. The prisoner was remanded. SIR .TORN LAWRENCE AT GLASGOW, Yesterday afternoon Sir John Lawrence was pre sented with the freedom of the city of Glasgow, in accordance with a resolution of the Town Council of that city. Sir John arrived from Inverary, where he had been the guest of the Duke of Argyll for some days, on Thursday, and stayed with the Rev. Dr. M'Duff. The ceremony of the presentation was per formed in th e City-hall esterday, at two o'clock. The hall was crowded 1y a large and highly re spectable audience, the platform being occupied by the Lord Provost, magistrates, and Town Council of the city, and others. The LORD PROVOST, who was warmly received, said,—The appearance of so large a meeting of ladies and gentlemen shows the cordiality with which the resolution of the Council has been re ceived by the citizens of Glasgow, and it cannot fail to gratify Sir John Lawrence, to whom we now intend to present the freedom of our city. (Ap plause.) Such an honour is not very frequently bestowed, and only conferred where there is great merit and worth displayed. The freedom of the city was given in 1843 to Richard Cobden, the pro moter of free trade; in 1845 to Sir Henry Pottin ger, the first negotiator of the treaty which ex tended our trade with China; to Lord John Rus sell and Lord Palmerston, conspicuous leaders in the Government of the country; to the Earl of Elgin, famous for his administration in Jamaica, Canada, and China; to Sir Colin Campbell, re nowned for his bravery in the Crimea, and for his noble and energetic conduct in India; and, lastly, to the distinguished African traveller, Dr. Livingstone. It is with no ordinary degree of satisfaction that we add the name of Sir John Lawrence to this distinguished list ; and I do not hesitate to say that Sir John Lawrence's claim to the respect and esteem of the citizens of Glasgow, and the country generally, is equal to any of the eminent mwn to whom I have referred. (Great applause.) The Town clerk read the inscription on the bur gess ticket, which was then presented to Sir John. Sir JOHN LAWRENCE then came forward, and was received with loud and prolonged cheering. When this had subsided he said—Allow me to offer you my sincere thanks for the great honour which you have conferred on me this day—an honour which, coming from the inhabitants of a great city, renowned for their public spirit, enterprise, and in telligence, cannot be too highly appreciated by me. It was my signal good fortune not only t o occupy a prominent position in India during the late mutiny, but to rule over a prosperous and contented population, and to be surrounded by many excellent soldiers and civilians. All these advantages, how ever, would have availed little but for the merciful aid of the Almighty, who, while humbling us almost to the dust, showed by the event that He did not mean to destroy us altogether. It has been urged as a reflection on the administration of the Pun jab that a large proportion of the English troops on that side of India were cantoned en the province. This was doubtless a very great advantage to us, but the arrangement had nothing whatever to do with the character of the administration. The fact was, that in some years previous to the annexation of the Punjab we had concentrated a large force in the vicinity of the Sutlej, partly to observe the Sikh army, which was collected in large masses round Lahore, and had forsome time evinced a dangerous spirit, and partly to give our soldiers the bonefit of a hill climate. The experience we obtained during the two Punjab wars of the war like qualities of the Sikh troops, and the great ex cut of frontier we had to 'guard, induced the Supreme Government io India, - after the annexation of the Punjab, to occupy the country with a large portion of our native and European armies, while, naturally enough, there was a disinclination to give up the sanatoria are, had formed in the hills. And thus it was that the rest of the Bengal Presidency was left with an insufficient number of our own sol diers. The obvious remedy ; then, was to have added to their force in India, and to have met the expense by a proportionate reduction in the native army; and why so obvious a course was not adopted it is not for me to say. But, as I have already re marked, no additional troops were sent to the Pun jab in consequence of the character of the admi nistration ; on the contrary, in succeeding years very considerable reductions in their number were effected. From the very first, the administration of the country was organised on a vigorous and econo mical basis. The feelings, prejudices, and customs of the people, so far us practicable, were duly regarded. Every effort was made to develope the resources and reduce the pressure of taxation. Trade and industry had been much depressed, and the taxation on land was generally excessive. We vet y soon got rid of all the customs, transit, and town duties, while by a small, addition to the salt ex ci se an d a superior system of management, we collected a revenue on that one article fully equal to the former income from all the taxes which were abolished. The land-tax was largely reduced and better distributed, while all the tenures of the land were carefully in quired into, adjusted, and recorded. At the time of the annexation not a road existed iu the length and breadth of the land. Several thousand miles of communication have since been opened up. One of the finest canals in the world was at once corn- menced, and shortly after I left the Punjab one large section was opened. The cost of this canal scheme will be upwards of a million and a quarter of money. The whole course of the Administration was one of progress and improvement. The people rapidly became better fed, better clothed, and in every respect more prosperous than they had been before ; and so it was that when the mutiny broke out we were not altogether unprepared to meet it. We were able to detach a large portion of our Eu ropean troops into Hindostan, to reinforce them with a choice portion of the Punjab troops on the frontier; to control and overcome the numerous regiments of Hindostanee soldiers in the country, and to raise thovsands of foot soldiers to fight our battles. From first to last more than 80,000 Punjab soldiers were ranged on our side during the late struggle. Again, it has been urged that the annexation of so many provinces, and in particular that the annexa tion of Oude, which took place shortly before the mutiny, was the cause which led to that calamity, and the reputation of one of the greatest men who ever governed India—l mean the Marquis Dal housie—has consequently suffered. I do not well know who was the author of that annexation, but I believe that had the advice of that statesmen been followed, and a proper addition been made at that time to the English army in India, either we should have had no mutiny, or that the mutiny would have been much more easily suppressed. The an nexation of Oude had nothing whatever to do with the mutiny in the first instance, though that mea sure certainly did add to the number of our enemies after the mutiny commenced. The old Government of Oude was extremely obnoxious to the mass of our native soldiers of the regular army who came from Oude and the adjacent province of Behar, and with whom the mutiny originated. These men were the sons and kinsmen of the Hindoo yeomen of the country, all of whom benefited more or less by annexation; while Oude was ruled by a Maho medan family, which had never identified itself with the people, and whose Government was ex tremely oppressive to all classes, except its imme diate diate creatures and followers, and to no class . o s. much as to the great body of the agriculturists. But when the introduction of the greased cart/ago e had excited the native army to revolt; w f h s e u n c success mutineers saw nothing before them they on the one hand or destruction on the other, driven to tshhorttoher, and all who sympathised with theml that could be the most desperate measures. A them. All that in fluenced by love or fear rallied roundtheir ranks. All had little or nothing to lo se joined fanatics and that dangerous class of . religious the political intriguers, who devo teeswho abound in India; all , can do no mischief, swelled who in peaceful times the numbers of the ene m y , and gave spirit and di rection to their m easures . India is full of rac es o f men who from time immemorial have lived b y ser vice or by plunder, .and who are ready to join in which may promi se any disturbance them employ ment. (Hear, hear.) Oude was full o f di sbanded soldiers, who had not had time to settle down, Our furnished thousands of gaols desperate men who were let loose on society. The cry throughout the country, as cantonment after cantonment became the scene of triumphant mutiny, was " the English rule is at an end; let us plunder andnoy ourselves." The industrious classes throughout India were in our favour, but a long time feared to act. On the one side they saw the few English in the country shot down, or flying for their lives ; or, at the best, stand ing on the defen s . • 1N e, sorely pressed. On the other side, they saw summary puHishment in the shape of the plunder and destruction of their homes, and even of death itself, dealt out to those who aided us. Was it, then, so wonderful that they refused to sacrifice ail that was dear to them for our sakes ? (Hear, hear, and tplii.Luse.) But when we evinced signs of vigour —when NA- e began to assume the offensive, and vindicate our authority, many of these people came forward and identified them selves with our cause. Surely it is mere folly to suppose that we could ever have weathered the storm which beset us, had the mass of the people of the country risen heartily against us. (Cheers.) One of the great evils of those sad times was the large numbers who were gradually drawn or forced into the struggle against us, who, when once com mitted, saw no hope of safety except in continuing the struggle. Then it was that sound policy dictated the advantage of giving such men a way to escape, and of dealing tenderly with them. There is one other subject on which I will say a few words, and that is on the intro duction of the Bible into our schools in I India. The Sepoys revolted, not because Chris 1- anity was taught to the people of India but because they believed that the cartridge they were required use would convey destruction to their bodies and their souls. This was, in their view, a tremendous attack on caste and religion. Their ideas on such matters in no wise accord with ours. A Hindoo soldier lying wounded on the field of battle has died rather than drink water offered to him by a, man who, in his eyes, was an outcast. A Sikh soldier in our hospitals at Agra preferred continuing to suffer for some hours all the anguish arising from feverish thirst, induced by severe wounds, rather than receive water from the hands of an English lady. His words were—" Though no man, see me drink, God will see it." The religion of the great majority of the people of India consists in ceremonial observances, and in a fancied personal freedom from certain contaminating influences. They are extremely ignorant and proportionately 1 superstitious. They have certainly a general impres sion that we desire their conversion,and that this will be accomplished by physical means. Thus stories of bone dust being mixed with the flour sold in the market, and the like, are constantly floating at out the country. We are never secure from panics arising from such causes. Does not thi s , then, in ( in culcate the p o li cy of inst ructing . the people, where they are willi ng to rec(eiNei t,asto the real charac ter of our reli g i on P Hear) e t hemL soun Sound p h e o ‘ icy meanssurely 0 f comprehending its principles. We ca nnot teach them the very element s of our scienc es withou t own showing them the folly o f their on fait h.Shall we, then, sap the foundation s of their belief with out giving them facilities for acquiring true know ledge ? Can this be wisdom ? (Cheers.) It is said that the work should be restricted to the mis sionaries. But what can a few missionaries do among hundreds of millions of people. (Hear.) / do not desire to see the Government under take the duty of the missionary ; but that when the parents ofchildren belonging to our schools do not object, and masters are able and willing to instruct, the Bible should not be prohibited. Government, as regards the extension of our faith, cannot really remain neutral. Its influence will either be for or against its progress. Under the most fa vourable auspices, that faith will not spread very fast ; the probability rather is that its progress will be lamentably slow. (Hear, hear.) I myself believe that sound policy,-as well as our duty to God and to man, demand that we should give facilities and encouragement to the spread of Christianity in India, and that the introduction of the Bible into the Government schools may be effected in many places with the full consent of the children and their parents by teachers who have their heart in the work. (Sir John resumed his seat amid great cheering.) The Hon. A. KINNAIRD then moved the thanks of the meeting to the Provost and Council, which terminated the proceedings. MIS _DAY'S MARKETS.
