'ITY NE if 8. HONEY IVA CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, completed to the 25th inst., shows some rather important alterations. The bullion, owing to the continued demand for export to the Continent, and for shipment to the East, has been largely diminished, but the reserve of notes has been slightly augmented, consequent upon the reduction in the Government Securities. The private deposits show a falling off of about three quarters of a million sterling, but there is an augmentation in the public deposits of more than a quarter of a million, and the active circulation has been diminished by noarly half a million. In the other items of the balanee-sheet there is little varia tion of importance. They will be seen in the sub joined table : Active Circulation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. ROBBERY OF BANE NOTES AND GOLD.—AN UNFOR TUNATE TREAT.—Catherine Fitzgerald, an unfortunate, was charged with stealing from the person of Alfred Pegg, a groom, of 5, Chapel-street, South Audley-street, two 155 notes and £3 10s. in gold. The prosecutor said—On Wednesday night, about a quarter to 12, he met the prisoner in South Audley-street, and she asked him to treat, her to some gin, which he did, taking her into a house called the Glass House. She then produced a bottle, and asked him to put a quartern of gin into it, which he did, and then left the house. He stood for a few minutes at the corner of the street, talking to the woman, who asked him to have a drop out of her bottle, which he did, and then went home to bed ; and when he awoke in the morning he missed his purse, in which were two £5 notes, £3 10s. in gold, and a broken Albert chain. He had not had much to drink, and had taken no familiarities with the prisoner whatever. Seward, 178 B, said, on taking'the prisoner into custody that morning at Westminster, where she was in bed with a soldier, he found under the bed seven sovereigns and 265. 6d. in silver, and the bottle which the prosecutor identified as the one she had in the public house. Prisoner said she had no bottle at all, and that the money was her own. THAMES.

Although several members last evening seemeel to want further explanations on the savings banks motion, the general statements of the Chancellor of the Exchequer were perfectly explicit. For a long time complaints have been made of the power held by the Government to tamper with the sav ings banks funds. This tampering has consisted in the manner in which they have been habitually moved from Stock to Exchequer-bills, or vice versa, to further the financial projects of each Chancellor of the Exchequer for the time being. When it is desired to facilitate a re-issue of Exchequer-bills the Chancellor can sustain the market price by investing any available savings banks funds in that security, which at any fut ure p er i o d h e can , un d er the old Savings Banks Act, convert into stock without the cognizance of Parliament. The Select Committee on Savings Banks, in their report issued in 1858, condemned the system and pointed out, among other illustrations, that it was used to promote the reduction of the New 3f and the New 34 per Cents. in 1835 and 1844. No one will be disposed to be lieve that any of our Chancellors have ever exercised the power except with a desire for the public good; but it may be contended that it is unfair to use the funds held in trust for one portion of the commu nity as a meats of jobbing against the interests of another portion. Accordingly Mr. Gladstone proposes to prevent any such possibility for the tuture. A further object contemplated is to provide for the deficiency between the amount due by the Government to savings banks and the value of stock held to represent it. That deficiency is estimated at £2,000,000, and has originated from the savings bank system having been so constituted as always to place the Government at a disadvantage. lie posits are made in times of prosperity, and with drawn at periods of pressure. Therefore the Govern ment purchases of stock are usually effected when prices are high, and the sales when they are low. Through a long series of years this has led to the deficiency now requiring to be dealt with. It is mainly these two points that form the scope of Mr. Gladstone's measure, and they are troublesome matters on which he is entitled to every assistance. On the general question as to the impropriety of Government meddling in any way with the banking affairs of the people there is no intention, appa rently, to enter. Whenever that point comes to be philosophically discussed it will not be difficult to 1 , show that it is no function of the Government of a commercial nation to undertake the custody of the savings of the mechanic any more than those of the merchant ; that the only school in which either can learn prudence is that of voluntary experience; and that if the State can off er s p ec i a l a d vantages either , in the way of interest or security on the capital of the labourer which it refuses on the capital of the wealthier classes, it must be at the public expense on one side, and consequently involve what is tanta mount to the acceptance of a gratuity, and there fore virtual pauperism, on the other.—Times.

ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly. JUDGMENT.-WOODPORD Y. CHARNLEY. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said on this ques tion I am of opinion there is no decision, as all the cases on the subject point one way, and there is nothing in them that applies to it. In that respect it depends entirely on the facts cf the case. In this case it depends en tirely on the completeness of the gift, and that de pends on the way in which the deed of Mrs. Ann Fisher provided far the payment of this gift of £5,000. By a voluntary deed she charged the estate of the eldest son with the payment of this sum to John Willoby Fisher, afterwards to Pisco Fisher, and appointed trustees to act as her attornies to recover the gift as a debt upon his estate. I ant clearly of opinion that neither in a court of law nor in equity eould this gift be enforced and recovered as a debt on the estate of her eldest son, and I declare accordingly, and grant the usual administration decree as to £l,OOO, another gift. Costs of all parties in the cause to come out of the estate. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. LORD BROUGHAM-Y. ATKINSON-LIBEL. The rule that had been obtained in this case against the defendant, the proprietor of the Westmoreland Gazette and Kendal Advertiser, for libel, was this day discharged, his lordship having consented to receive an apology. COURT OF DIVORCE, (Before Sir C. Cresswell, ➢ir. Justice Hill, and Mr. a Justice Keating.) PEARMAN V. PEARMAN AND BURGESS. I at the time of her marriage, and even then she saw her the worse for liquor, though not actually intoxicated. She had a quarrel with her in consequence of her having ad mitted that she placed a needle in the soiled linen, in order to lame her hand which was effected, and she was lila up for fourteen weeks. Mrs. Pearman never complained to her of being affected with spasms, and her only bodily ailments were produced by her intemperance. She had never seen Mr. Pearman raise his hand to his wife, and he treated her always with kindness. Mr. R. W. Freer, a surgeon, said he attended Mr. and Mrs. Pearman since their marriage, and had frequent oppor tunities of witnessing Mr. Pearman's conduct to his wife, which was very kind. He attended her when she was suffering from the effects of drunkenness, and Mr. Pearman appeared very anxious about her. He heard her abuse him without any provocation. She never consulted him relative to spasmodic affections, and he was not aware that she was troubled with any complaint that required stimulants. He never saw then quarrel more than once, and he was not aware that she was suffering at any time from the effects of his ♦iolence. Elizabeth Jones, who had been in the service of Mr. Pearman, corroborated the evidence as to Mrs. Pearman's intemperance and other misconduct. She received money from her at different times to conceal frosa her husband the familiarity between her and Burgess, which she did not communicate until Mrs. Pearman's departure from her home. Elizabeth Smith gate similar testimony, but added that she had seen Mr. Pearman knock his wife down, but it wars in consequence of her being drunk and endeavouring to force her way into the shop. Letters from Mrs. Pearman, expressing regret for having offended her husband, entreating to be taken back, and denying the commission of adultery, were read, which closed the petitioner's case. Mr. Sergeant Pigott addressed the jury en behalf of the respondent, and called witnesses to prove the alleged cruelty of the petitioner. The cue wits proceeding when we went to press. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) SINGULAR ACTION FOR DAMAGES—SAWYER V. GOODALL. Plaintiff lets out traps, and defendant is a commercial traveller. The action was brought to recover damages as compensation for a broken trap and injured pony while in the defendant's possession and under his charge. Mr. Beard, for the defendant, said the accident causing the damage occurred through a circumstance entirely be yond the control of the defendant. He and his wife were in the trap, and he descended, leaving it under the lady's care. The pony bolted, as it had done before, and hence the damage. His Honour—Was defendant upon hie master's busi ness P Mr. Beard—Yes. His Honour—Did his master know he had the lady with him ? Defendant—Oh, yes. It would not have been safe to have left the trap without some one to take care of it. The damage was then analysed, and his Honour found for plaintiff for £1 17s.—the original claim being £4 17s. CAUTION TO SUITORS—BURKE V. WHITEHEAD. This was a claim for £1 16a., balance of an account for money lent. Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, said his Honour would re collect his client a short time back to have been a defendant in this court, and that the now defendant sued him in refer ence to a check, and then his Honour decided in favour of Mr. Burke. Now the claim was for money advanced to Mr. Whitehead. The matter was a very simple one. The original sum was £7 125., and this was a balance, after crediting defendant with various sums. Mr. Whitehead urged that ho was entitled to particulars. It was true that £1 16s. was a balance, but the sum from which that sum was derived was above 405., and particu lars ought to have been anneved. His Honour—l think go, too. lam of opinion that de fendant is entitled to particulars. This case had better be adjourned, and then referred. Defendant—ln the next case my partner, who is ill, is the defendant, and that had better be adjourned, too. Mr. Buchanan—Then we can adjourn the two without saying a single word about coats ? (Laughter.) His Honour—Yes ; they will both be refused. BROCK V. THORLEY—ADVERTISING. This was a claim for £5 17s. for advertisements inserted in a periodical belonging to plaintiff, defendant being the well-known cattle food proprietor. Mr. Beard said the advertisements had been duly inserted, and the periodical in question as duly forwarded to Mr. Thorley, who had not countermanded the order. The insertion of the advertisements being proved, Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, urged that a gentleman named Hotson should be called to explain the matter, He nego tiated the business, and be alone could throw any light upon the subject. Mr. Thorley had paid for some of the advertisements, but only for those ho authorised Mr. Hot son to get inserted. Mr. Beard (to witness)—When you called abort these advertisements, what were you told P Witness—That it was all right. Mr. Buchanan—By whom ? Witness—Hotson. His Honour—You must be nonsuited, Mr. Beard, unless Mr. Hotson is here. Mr. Hotson was not present, and plaintif was nonsuited with costs. BILLS OP EXCHANGB—STONB V. RICHARDSON. This was an act i on upon a bill of exchange for £l2 15s. 9d., upon whi c h Mr. George plaintiff had rendered himself liable. (George and Downing) said the bill had been dishonoured, and no notice of such dishonour given to de fendant, who had admitted his debt. Defendant said he only wanted time. His Honour —.That is for the plaintiff. As far as lam concerned I must snake a ten day order. The instalmentary process was never intended for persons signing bills. You make your own agreement to pay at a certain time, and bills should not be dishonoured. Mr. George applied for his costs, which were allowed. THE COLLECTIONS OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM.— Last week a very important decision was arrived at by the trustees of the British Museum. The separation of the natural history collections from the books and fine arts' collections was carried by a narrow majority of one. All the Ministers, who are included among the trustees, voted on the question, and unanimously, I believe, for the separa tion. The old and unofficial trustees, as a general rule, voted against th e separation. Thanks to this decision, we may at last hope to see both the natural history specimens and the fine art treasures of the Museum properly located. At this moment each of these collections incommodes and crowds on the other. There is about as.much in the way of zoology and sculpture stowed away in damp, dark, and inaccessible vaults, holes, corners, cupboards, and cellars as there is visible to the public, or rather to the students, for theirs is the interest to be mainly con sidered .—ifenchester Guardian. Noun' SHIELDS, Friday Night.—During the gale the Sharp and the Medium, from Liverpool, went ashore. The Hebe, Athens, John and Isabella, and the Mouarola b vo bce4 loet, orewe wore gavel This case, which commenced on Thursday, was resumed this morning. The petitioner, Henry Pearman, prayed for a divorce from his wife on the ground of her adultery with the co respondent, Charles Frederick Burgess. Mrs. Pearman denied the adultery, and set forth various acts of cruelty on the part of the petitioner; and the co-respondent also denied the offence imputed to him. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and another learned gentleman were counsel for the petitioner; and Mr. Sergeant Pigott, Dr. Wambey, and Mr. Garth for the respondents. It appeared that the petitioner was a chemist, and had formerly carried on business at Stourbridge, in Worcester, and that he married the respondent in 1854. They co habited until 1858, and had four children, three of whom are living ; but in the November of the latter year the petitioner became acquainted with circumstances that satis fied him as to his wife's criminalty with the eo-respondeat, who was his assistant and about 21 years of age. Maria Hawthorne, a laundress living near Steurbridge, proved the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Pearman, and stated that the former was very kind to his wife, who treated him and her children with great brutality. She was addicted to intemperance, and was in the habit of abusing her husband and children in the grossest terms. The witness had seen her intoxicated as early as nine o'clock in the morning, and the children were left by her in the most filthy condition. In December, 1857, about four days after her confinement, she saw her down stairs in a state of drunkenness and Burgess behaving towards her with the greatest familiarity.

The will and codicil of Sir Richard Budder Crowder, one of the Justices of the Court of Com mon Pleas, late of Carlton House-terrace, were proved in the principal Registry of the Court of Probate on the 18th inst. by his brother, George Augustus Crowder, Esq., of 42, P or tland-place, the sole executor. The personalty was sworn under £70,000. He has bequeathed to his brother Fre derick Robert and to his sister Anne Greene each a legacy of £12,000 for their own absolute use; to his housekeeper a clear annuity of £52; and the following liberal agency to his clerk, who appears to have been most highly esteemed by this excellent Judge ; and we cannot forbear to give the terms of this bequest in the Judge's own words :—" I give to my 'aithful clerk. John Dickenson, whose kind attention and valuable services I have received for upwaids of 30 years, and whose zeal, diligence, and integrity I have ever highly appreciated, the sum of £3,000." The will and codicil were entirely in his owu handwriting; and it is a remarkable fact that he suffered alterations to appear in his will without the initials of himself and the wit nesses, or any allusion thereto in the attestation clause. The witne:ses, however, were able to prove they were made previous to the execution. The will of Lady Peel, relict of the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., P.C., of Whitehall-gardens, was administered to by her son, the Right Hon. Fred. Peel, M.P., the sole executor. The personal property valued at £14,000. The will, which is very concisely and ably drawn, disposes of the jewellery, ornaments, furniture, and effects left to her ladyship by Sir Robert, as well as that previ ously her own, or since purchased by her, all of which she leaves to her said son Frederick. To her daughters, Viscountess Villiers and Mrs. Stonor, £l,OOO each, and to her sons, John and A r th ur, £5OO each. The eldest son, Sir Robert, becomes entitled to the mansion in Whitehall-gardens, with the family plate, and an annuity of £5,000, which was a charge upon the patrimonial estates in Staf fordshire. Tne will and two codicils of Robert Wilson Ffrance, Esq., late of Rawcliffe Hall, near Garts tang, Lancashire, 18, Northumberl an d- square , Tyneside, No r th hields, and Ballochmorie House, near Barr Hill, Ayrshire, N. 8., who died at Wood's Hotel, Furnival's-inn, London, on the 21st October last, were proved in the principal Registry on the 18th of January by Edward Sharp, Esq. of Vera lam-buildings, Joseph Roscoe Allen, Esq., of More combe, Lancashire, and Sarah Aiston and William Aiston, brother and sister, the joint acting executors. His estates, real and personal, subject to an annuity of £l,OOO to Mrs. Aiston, and to whom he leaves the household furniture and ef fects at North Shields, he has left in trust for his son, Robert John Wilson Barton Ffranee (a minor), and to his issue ; in default to Sarah Aiston for her life, and at her decease to her brother William and his issue ; on failure, then to the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital. The will was made in 1855, and the codicils in 1858 and 1859.—From the illustrated London News, January 28. NEWSPAPER STATISTICS.—From the Newspaper Press Directory for 1860 we extract the following :—" That there are now published in the United Kingdom 1,041 news papers, distributed as follows : England ...... Wales Scotland Ireland 129 British Isles .. Of these there are -34 daily papers published in England. 6 ditto Scotland. 10 ditto Ireland 1 ditto British Isles. On reference to preceding editions of this useful Directory we find the following interesting facts, viz., that in 1840 there were 472 journals published in the United Kingdom. In 1850 there were 443 (showing a decrease), but in 1860 there are now established and circulated 1,041 papers, show ing that an extraordinary impulse has been given to every description of newspaper enterprise."— C. Mitchell and Co.'s Newspaper Press Directory, 1860. THE DISCOVERER OF THE NEW PLANET.—Yester day's Moniteur announces that M. Lescarbault, the d iscoverer of the now planet, has been made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. The announcement is preceded by a report to the Emperor by M. Rouland, Minister of Public Instruction, giving some account of M. Lescarbault, and setting forth his claims to the distinction. It appears that in September last M. Lo Verrier, the eminent director of the Observatory at Faris, sent to the Academy of Sciences proofs of the exist ence of certain planetary bodies near the sun, and account ing for some apparent anomalies in the motion of the earth and of Mercury. For the verification of these results, which he had arrived at by calculation, he recommended to astro nomers an attentive study of the phenomena which present themselves en the surface of the sun. Towards the end of December he received a letter from M. Lescarbault, a poor medical man living at Orgeres (sure-et-Loir), announcing that on the 26th March he had observed a planet passing across the sun's disc. M. Le Verrier visited his correspon dent, and convinced himself of the value of his observations. M. Lescarbault, who was passionately fond of astronomy, had devoted the intervals of his practice to it, and had made his own instruments, which were of astonishing accuracy. SUSPECTED MURDER AT NOTTINGHAM.—Mr. Coroner Browne held an inquest on Wednesday afternoon last on the body of a man named Lorenzo Jarvis, a brewer by trade, the cruse of whose death is enshrouded in mystery, there being many suspicious circumstances connected with it. On Saturday last he had been working at the Queen's Arms Inn, Queen's-road, Nottingham, and left that place at a quarter to 12 at night, having in his possession a quantity of silver and about 51b. cf beef tied up in a newspaper. Jarvis did not arrive home that night, and was missing until Tuesday, when his relatives became greatly alarmed. The police were instructed to search for him. The piece of beef was found under Carrington -street Bridge, which projects over the Not tingham Canal; the water was then dragged, and the body was soon afterwards found, when four bruises were discovered upon the head of the deceased, two of which were of a very violent and serious nature. Only 11d. was found in his pockets, although just previous to his leaving the Queen's Arms he had a handful of silver in his possession. From the evidence of Mr. Bannister, the landlord, it appeared that the deceased left the house rather the worse for liquor ; he was alone, and appeared to walk steadily, and was quite cheerful. After some other evidence had been adduced, the coroner remarked that it was clear the deceased had either been robbed, or had got through his money in a very short time. The in quest was adjourned until Monday, that further inquiries might be made. THE PROPOSED BEER BILL.—A deputation of the friends of the National Temperance League attended yesterday before the Right Hon. Sir G. C. Lewis, at the Homo Office, for the purpose of ascertaining the intentions of her Majesty's Government with reference to the above subject, and also with the view of offering suggestions. Mr. Payne having introduced the deputation, Sir G. C. Lewis observed that he was not at that moment in a posi tion to communicate any decision which the Government had come to in reference to the subject. It would, how ever, receive due attention. Mr. Tweedie said he had waited upon the Bishop of Oxford, and had obtained a distinct statement from his lordship that in the event of the Government not bringing forward a measure in the Com mons his lordship would introduce the subject into the House of Lords. They considered that 42,000 beer houses and 63,000 public-houses were a great deal too many for the requirements of the public; that facilities for the sale of beer increased the evil of drunkenness instead of supplying a better article ; that public-houses and beer shops should be put under the same jurisdiction, and that the jurisdiction should be removed from the magistrates and confided to a special body elected by the ratepayers. Sir G. C. Lewis said he could not see how they could expect to extinguish drunkenness by measures of the kind proposed. As advocates of a Maine Liquor law he could have better understood their purpose. What he understood them to recommend was that the present system of licensing public houses and beer-shops should be abolished, and that the authority to license should be transferred to a body elected by some large constituency, and which should exercise no other functions. The deputation then withdrew. STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, lan. 27.-- The market was quiet in the early part of the week, but a steady business was done for the home and most of the foreign markets, except those of the East. For the latter, the heavy engagements recently entered into had disposed both buyers and sellers to pause a little. We have now telegrams to hand in anticipation of the overland mail from Bombay and Calcutta, bringing advices to the commence ment of the present month of a rather favourable cha racter, and these have given a new impulse to business. Fresh orders have been placed where manufacturers and spinners have been in a position to take them, but it is diffi cult to buy without some addition to prices. THE NEW IRISH MAIL BOATS.--It has been de cided that the four vessels building for this service shall be called the Leinster, Munster, Connaught, and Ulster. Mr. Laird, of Birkenhead, is constructing the Munster and Ulster, and Messrs. James Watt and Co., of Birmingham, will supply the engines Mr. Laird is also building the builttons Con naught.

The gardener of at Lewisham, on entering his master' s s ummer-house, disc,Neroi the deceased sitting in one cor, er , with a coat drawn over his head and his throat cut in a frightful manner. Blood was discovered in other r,arts of the summer-house, indicating that the deceased must h ave struggled for some time after committing the rash act. To show the determination of the deceased, it may 'oe mentioned that, to reach the place where his body was, found, he had to cross a ditch and clear a hedge, and after cutting his throat he had the coolness to ciose the razor with which the injury was inflicted and place it in his coat pocket. On the person of the deceased a letter was found, addressed to his sister at Mortlake, and in which lie expressed an i n t en ti on o f destroying himself, saying the troubles of this world could not be longer borne. Tho deceased had been nearly 20 years in the police, and the fear of losing a pension to which his services would have entitled him is supposed to have led to his committal of the suicidal act. it There has of late been no material change in the state of health of the King of Prussia, but the Prince Re gent has latterly also been an invalid. The annual festival of the knights of the various orders of the kingdom, which was to have taken place on the 22d, has in consequence been postponed until the 29th, when it is expected that his royal highness will be So far recovered as to be able to bear his part in, the ceremonies of the day. % re- W. ireds, andi can- se, of soli dared .ce on rlog the - cer r the o Se utely •wing , but the pa of natty East ency and Dute, live ty in aoly Trio- Two went way now. as! 4 4 1t 1;340
