MARE AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two- o'CLocK: Notwithstanding the steady inflikx:of gold fro . in Australia and the United States, withdrawals of bullion from the Bank of England are still reported. The amounts so appropriated are not very exten sive, but collectively they represent a rather im portant aggregate. During the past week at least a quarter of -a million has been sent away ; and the total stock of the precious metals, which a few weeks ago approached twenty millions, is now presumed to be nearer X1'9,000,000. It is imagined that this efflux will continue, although the con signments of gold which the Australian advices r€ port to be en route m.ay temporarily check the adverse movement. In the Money Market there is still an active de mand, and full rates are paid for accommodation. In many instances the terms asked for the negotia tion of first class bills are in advance of the Bank minimum. ' The authorities of that establishment are, consequently, transacting a large amount of business, and some increase in the item of " other securities" may be anticipated. About £48,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday for exportation to the Continent. The Royal Charter, reported yesterday, with £109,344, has arrived at Liverpool, having per formed the passage in 67 days. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a moderate business was transacted, and prices were steady. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with rather more animation, and former values were main tained. No change of importance has occurred in the English Stock Market to-dtly. Business is exceed ingly dull, and the settlement of the monthly ac count is the chief occupation of the dealers and brokerS. At present very little speculation is in progress for the next adjustment, the position of political relations checking enterprise of that de scription. A firm tone, nevertheless, prevails, and although very.' little quotable improvement has taken place, the tendency is in a favourable direc tion. Consols have been 952 1 for money and account, and they are now rather buoyant.at that quotation. The New 3 per Cents. are firm at 941 and 941 . •and the Reduced at 94 1. India Stock has been dealt in at 220 ; and the Bonds 10s. prem ; Exchequer Bills are 325. to 355, prem., and ditto Bonds have advanced to 1001. Business in the Foreign Stock Market is rather qviiet, and prices generally are somewhat flatter. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 921 to 931 ; ditto New Loan, 781 to 79. Mexican 3 per Cents. have de clined to 21f; Portuguese to 45 1 ; Dutch 4 per Cents, to 100; Buenos Ayres, 6 per Cents. to 801; and Brazilian 5 per Cents, to 100*. The 41 pea Cents., 1852, .are marked 94 ; ditto, 41 per Cents., 1858, 9411. Grenada Active are steady at 191. The New Australian Loan is 1. discount. The following is from the Committee of Mexican Bondholders " The committee have received a letter from Mr. White head, dated Mexico, the Ist ult. (which was not delivered till a quarter past eight o'clock last night). He had advises from the agents of the . bondholders in Vera Cruz of the 20th of February, and of the receipt of 18,691 of bills on Mexico from the Custom-hou.4e. It was thought that another week or, ten days would decide the fate.of Vera Cruz. The garri • eon there consisted chiefly of raw hands, but if they can be brought to offer a show. of resistance, the detention. of Gen. Miramon's troops outside the walls of. the city might, now that the heat had already commenced, be sufficient to cause the appearance of yellow fever among them." The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1859.

A letter from Coblentz, in the Weser Gazette, says—" Although most of the statements that have been made as to the warlike preparations of Ger many are inexact, it is not the less certain that measures for causing the Federal contingents to march within a very short time, that is, in a fort night if required, are being adopted. In the south west of Germany, the number of effective horses for the army h as b een i ncreased, and measures have been taken for obtaining the full complement which may b e required in the event of mobilisa tion. In the other German States similar precau tions have been taken. As to stores, the Federal inspectors are always so stri c t i n requ i r i ng the supply to be kept up that little w as requ i re d t o and complete them, ofthat little has e veryw h ere b een obtained. M ost having been supplied the Wit- German cor p s d' arm e e , Wade h de rifled cannon, diff erent contingents are b e i ng to sort of arm, and me n o practise w ith th a t furl ough have been ca ll e d in to learn the use of it UNIVERSITY BOAT RACES.-- N,Vreeware. requested to state that the Oxford Univeisity will .

This was an action to recover £4,000, the value of four bills of exchange, including interest. Mr. Brandt, instructed by Mr. Holt, appeared for the plaintiff, who is a widow lady ; and Mr. Capreol, of Gray's - appeared for the defendant. It appeared from a long examination, that in the :year 1850 Mrs. Fiske discovered amongst the effects of her de ceased husband four bills of exchange for £2,984, accepted by Major Cartwright in May, 1847. Defendant was kit-re duced to her in August, IES), and entrusted with the bills. He was instructed to obtain the value, or something. Nothing satisfactory was heard ti 111855, and the defendant admitted that he had received £3OO (it was believed he ad _ milted £600) on account. As no money could be obtained from him the present action was brought. Defendant was not authorised to apply the bill to his own purposes. Upon being expostulated with he said he had handed them to his brother, to whom he was indebted. Defendant's brother was called, and said he had received the bills from defendant. in 1853. His brother paid him about £1,200 at the time, but he did not take the bills as security for that debt. They had outran and were value less, but better than nothing. Defendant had had some money since the £1,200 which was due upon his bank ruptcy, and requiring a further advance he pressed witness to accept the bills. In 1855 witness, through the instrumentality of defendant, and a Mr. Bunardy re ceived £6OO from Rickards, scl!citor to the - Cartwright family. Witness paid Bunardy no commission.. That was paid by Rickards. Witness paid defendant £456 10s. on account of the £6OO, and applied £143105. to the liquidation of his claim on defendant. Mr. Rickards said defendant brought him the bills in 1852, and said he had discounted them. Witness did not negotiate with him. Witness paid Mr. Nathaniel Daniels, the witness, £660 for the bills, and that person paid £6O as commission to Bunardy. At least that sum was paid in Mr. Daniels's presence. Mr. Capreol contended for defendant that as that person had been put to considerable trouble and expense, it was useless to say he was not to have remuneration. The bills were not worth 4000, and ittwas in the evidence that only £6OO had been obtained for them. It remained for the jury to say what sum they considered the plaintiff was en titled to. The learned Secondary summed up, and pointed out that Bunardy had been paid commission, which did not appear to have been earned by defendant. The jury found for plaintiff—damages £720. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TRIS DAY., 21.1ARLBOROUGH • TREET. I PLATE ROBBERY AT WILLIS'S ROOINIS.—John Saun ders, a respectable-looking man, a waiter, was charged with stealing twenty plated forks, of the value of £lO, the pro perty of Messrs. Frederick and Charles Willis, Willis's Rooms, King- street, St. James's. From the evidence of Stephen Mowbray Payne, manager of the rooms, it appeared that a dinar having taken place at the rooms, at which the Duke of Cambridge was in the chair, the prisoner was employed as an extra waiter, and that in the course of the evening his (Payne's) attention was called by the cellarman to the fact that a quantity of table forks wrapped in brown paper were lying in the cellar covered with loose straw. He then spoke to a constable, and told him to watch near the spot, and when the person came to take them to take him into custody. Peskett, 143 C, said that having been spoken to by the last witness he placed himself in a position to see who came into the cellar, and about a quarter-past 12 he saw the prisoner come along, and just before he got to where the forks were lying noticed him stop, and listen, and then stoop and pick up the forks and put them in his coat pocket. He (Peskett) then stepped forward and asked what he had got, when he replied " that it was all right ;" but on telling him that would not do, he took the forks from his pocket and laid them on a tub. The prisoner said the forks, not being taken out of the house he did not see hpw it could be called a robbery. There was plate lying about in all parts of the 'house, and if he had wanted to take any he could have taken more valuable property. He had never had a blemish on his character, and had been employed at the Maitsion House, the London Tavern, and other plates. He had merely taken up the forks to take them to the first witness, having found them in the cellar. Committed for trial.

Elliott, been employed by Mowlem, Burt, and Freeman, in laying down a new stone tramway in the Commercial-road. The wages paid to them were very low indeed, and finding that they could not earn sufficient to maintain themselves and families they spoke to the foreman about it last night, and to one of the principals this morning and requested an advance. Their demand was refused, and the principal said they might go about their business and measured up the work they had done, but refused to pay them for it. They had been waiting about the locality of that court since daybreak:, and the masters would not inform them whether they were to be paid in Lime house, at the counting-house, or upon the road. Mr. Elliott—You have been engaged on piece -work ? Hilton—Yes, sir, we have. _ _ Mr. Elliott—Then you must sue your employers in the County Court. Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, said ho had already advised the men that their only remedy was in the County Court. ROBBERY IN LIMETIOUSE DOCKYARD.—WiIIiam Wil liams, a shipwright in the employ of Messrs. Young, Son, and Magnay, the extensive shipbuilders, of Limehouse Dockyard, was brought before Mr. Elliott, charged with stealing BVbs. of composition nails. The prisoner was seen to enter a marine store shop yes terday evening, by Moses Nicholls, a polce-constable, 97 K, who saw him put into a scale a handkerchief containing, 8f lbs. of composition nails. The prisoner said he was selling them for another man. Mr. Charles Taylor, time-keeper, and Samuel Cole, store• keeper, said that their employers, Young, Son, and Mag nay, had contracted to copper a ship, and there were 14 or 15 cwt. of composition nails used in the process. The nails were lying about the dockyard in all directionp, and a great many had been stolen. A marine store dealer, named Stewart, of Broad-street, Rateliff, received 27 lbs. of Messrs. Young, Son, and Mag nay's nails, and was sentenced to two months' imprison ment on Monday last. The prisoner was in the employ of Messrs. Young, Son, and Magnay up to yesterday evening. The prisoner, in defence, said a man gave him a glass of gin to sell the nails. Mr. Elliott sentenced the prisoner to one month's im prisonment and hard labour.

SOUTHAMPTON, April 6.—The United States' mail steamship Fulton, Captain J. A. Wotton, left COWS this afternoon for New York with the French and English mails, passengers, and freight. The Royal Mail Company's screw steamer Wve, Captain Longden, arrived this morn ing from Marseilles, between which port and Malta she has been employed in conveying the Australian mails under the late contract. The screw steamer Genva, from Liver pool, called in this afternoon to land cargo. FALL OF A CHURCH TOWER.—On Sunday morning, at eight o'clock, th e t ow e r of th e p ar i s h c h urc h o f Basford, near Nottingham. fell with a fearful crash, bury ing with it a portion of the edifice. The church had for the past two years been undergoing restoration, and was so far completed as to warrant the committee in announcing its completion by May next. The tower was of a very ancient date and much decayed. The damage is great, being esti mated at £2,000. The parish is large and by no means wealthy, and considerable difficulty had been experienced in raising the funds for the restoration of the church. LITERARY INSTITUTIONS. A return of the names and localities of all the literary, scientific, and artistic institutions which have obtained from the certifying bar rister, or from the Lord-Advocate, certificates of exemp tion from local rates, under the Act 6 and 7 Victoria, cap. 36, has been printed on the motion of Mr. Cowper, M.P. The list of the institutions fills a space of nine pages. IRISH CONSTITUENCIES.—A return has been made of the number of electors in every county and borough of Ireland, according to the present registers. The East and West Ridings of the county of Cork, when taken together, would occupy the first place on the list as far as numerical strength is considered, the number of electors being 15,716. Down county is the next largest constituency, the number of electors being 11,367. Dublin city comes next with 10,367 electors, then Antrim county with 9,882, Tipp erar y coun ty with 9,526, Tyrone county with 7,592, Limerick county 6,481, Wexford county 6,406, Dublin county 6,251, Cavan county with 5,989, and so on. The largest borough constituency is Belfast, with 3,303 electors the next Londonderry with 825 . The smallest of all is Portarlington, with 99 electors. IRISH BOROUGIIS.—Before the news of a disso lution of Parliament was 12 hours old the Irish papers were bristling wi. h paragraphs —some speculative, some bona file announcements—respecting gentlemen who are prepared to enter the lists when the new House of Commons is to be called into existence. Of the realitiess it may be men tioned that Mr. John Rea, a fiery Belfast attorney, has addressed the electors of the borough of New Ross, in opposition to Mr. Tottenham, the sitting member and pro prietor of the town. Mr. Rae is a Presbyterian and a Radical of the deepest dye. Among the speculations it is reported that Mr. George Bowyer, having giVen offence to his Dundalk friends, is to be supplanted in the representa tion by Sir John M'Neill, the eminent engineer, and a general favourite in the locality, BOROUGHZHL OF MARY LEBOIV.E. - - It is not expected that there will be any contest, or even the rumour of a contest, at the coming" election - for the borough of Marylebone. It would, indeed, be surprising if there were, Sir Benjamip._ Hall's address to his constituents is excellent so far_ as it goes ; but, unlike most other candidates who have zealously and successfully served their con stituents, he does not do justice to himself. For nearly a quarter of a century the right hon. gen tleman has discharged the duties of representative of the greatest borough in the world, with an assiduity and ability to which it would be dif ficult to find • a parallel. Such services as he has rendered the numerous and intelligent constituency he represents, cannot be too highly appreciated ; and it is due to the electors of Marylebone to say, that they are deeply. sensible of his services. Never were the local interests of any constituent body better at tended to, or more efficiently promoted, than have been those of the electors of Marylebone by Sir Benjamin Hall ; and they, in return, hitve practi cally expressed their appreciation of these services by re-electing him without opposition for a period of 22 years. Mr. James, the newly-elected mem ber, has made an auspicious commencement of his senatorial career—a commencement which, we feel assured, will be fully borne out by the hon. and learned gentleman's subsequent conduct in the house. The electors of Marvlebone may therefore well congratulate themselves on having two such representatives. We were gratified to see them both vote the other night in favour of the ballot— the more especially as there were so many other deserters from the cause of secret voting on the occasion.—Advertiser.—[We cordially subscribe to the above.—ED.

StIPPLY. THE DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT. PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS. The question having been put that the Speaker sh ou ld leave the chair in order that the house might go into coM. mittee of Supply, Lord PALMERSTON rose and said—l wish, sir, to take this opportunity of making a personal explanation, rendered necessary by something. that was said with respect to my conduct—where andhy whom I am not according to the rules of the house at liberty to.specify, but it is sufficient to say, by a person whose authority in this country is consi derable—(hear; hear)—not longer ago than on Monday last • I have been accused of unconstitutional conduct in ques tioning the prerogative of the Queen to dissolve Parliament when her advisers ,may think fit, and upon whatever sub ject they may deem it right to dissolve. Now, sir, I never said anything that could bear that construction. (Hear, hear.) No man in his senses who halms anything of the British constitution can question. the prerogative of the Crown, upon the advice of responsible Ministers—because the Crown can exercise no part of its prerogative except by the advice of responsible Ministers—to dissolve Parlia ment at any period of the year, .or in any state whatever of public business. But there happens to be conditions of public business in this house at certain periods of the ses sion at which that advice could not be given or acted upon without throwing all the transactions, business, and ser vices of the country into utter confusion. • While the sup plies are not all voted, while no Appropriation Act has been passed, and while no financial statement has been made, it is obvious that the advisers of 'the 'Crown cannot without great inconvenience to the public service recom mend the Sovereign to dissolve Parliaseent, and carry that recommendation into effect, unless the' House of Commons makes itself a party to the transaction, accelerates its proceer.,ings, and concess in the temporary expedients which are necessary in order to place the public busi ness in a position in which a dissolution would not be attended with inconvenience to the interests of the country. That is exactly the` state of things in which we • are now, and what I said upon a former occasion was that the advisers of the Crown could not obtain a dissolution of Parliament at the present.moment without the consent and concurrence of this house. . What is the othercourse which might have been pursued? The Ifonse of COIIIIIIJIIB might have said,—" We will not be parties to these temporary expedients; bring in all your estimates, we are ready to discuss them ; we do not mean to refuse the supplies; bring in your Appropriation Act at the proper time ; go through the bu s i n e s g o f th e sess i on, an d w h euit has arrived et that point at which' a dissolution is practicable without interference with the public interests, of course you . .will then exercise with the permission of the SeVereig*" the , • prerogative of the Crown.' What I meant to imply was, that Suring that delay it Was possible that this house migh interpose other measures—that they might address the Crown; praying that it would neither dissolve nor prorogue Parliament until the house had hadthe opportunity of con sidering another Reforin Bill, to be presented by the Go vernment. They might have gone a step further, and, pend ing the course of public business, have addressed the Crown to dismiss the xmesent Ministers. All these would have been perfectly constitutional proceedings, and therefore I utterly, repudiate the charge that anything which I said, that any doctrine which I held, was in the slightest degree repug nant to the prerogative of t'he.Crown, or •in any degree whatever contrary to the fundamental and practical prin ciples of the British constitution. , This house has not thought fit to adopt any of the courses to which I have just referred. I certainly should not have advised it to do so. I think it far better that we should accept the challenge of her Majesty's Ministers, and appeal to the sense of the people ; and I feel perfectly confident as to the answer which will be given to that, challenge. (Cheers.) There is another point of far less importance to which also I wish to advert while I am upon my legs. My noble friend the member for the city of London and myself entirely concurred in the resolution which he felt it his duty to propose ; and that perfect concurrence and identity of opinion being .generally. known, many persons suppose that there is the same per fect identity of opinion between us in regard to that general sketch or outline of a Reform Bill which my noble friend gave us a few nights ago. I would only say that I entirely concur with him in the principles upon which that outline is founded—viz., the reduction of the county franchise, the reduction of the borough franchise, and the transfer of seats ; but, with regard to the particular limits to which in his sketch he suggested that those principles should be car ried, I retain the opinions which I have expressed upon former occasions. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. PAKINGTON—I cannot allow the statement of the noble lord to pass altogether unnoticed. What he has said refers to the language held in another place by a per son whom the noble viscount says holds a very high posi tion in this country. Of course there can be no misunder standing on the part of the house to whom the noble* vis count refers, and, therefore, I think it my duty to say, so far as I am aware, what was the language of the person to whom the noble viscount alludes. lam not of opinion that that language is at all open to the criticism which the noble lord has passed upon it; but the noble lord must bear in mind that the language so attributed to a noble earl in another place was held by myself in this house,—not, of course, in exactly identical terms, but certainly in terms of a very similar nature. lam very glad that the noble lord has offered this explanation ; but I must repeat that which I ventured to express on a former day, that in my humble opinion the language of the noble lord on the occasion re ferred to was not consistent with respect to the Crown, and certainly did tend, as far as it was possible for the language of a statesman in this house to tend, to call in question the prerogative of the Crown in regard to the dissolution of Parliament. (Hear, hear.) I am in the recollection of those who heard what the language of the noble lord was, and certainly if it tended to anything it tended to a direct threat that, in the event of any attempt by the Crown to exercise the prerogative of dissolution, the noble lord and those who acted with him would refuse these sup plies--(hear, hear)—without which it would be impos sible, or, at all events, very inconvenient, that her Majesty should be advised to dissolve Parliament. I think there is no man in this house who was not struck by the marked contrast between the language of the noble lord on the occasion to which I have referred, and that which he used on Monday evening last in answer to the statement of my right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that her Majesty's Ministers had recommended the dissolution of Parliament. The two speeches were as directly contrasted one with the other as it was possible for two speeches to Le. When the noble lord used that threatening language I was surprised that he did not bear in mind the circutnstancea which attended his adoption of a precisely similar course two years ago. The only difference is that then the defeat of the Government took place at the beginning of the month of March, and now it has occurred at the beginning of the month of April. The Government of the noble lord was defeated, a vote of censure was passed by this house, and the noble lord and his colleagues had the same option which her Majesty's present advisers have had, either to tender their resignations or to recommend the exercise of the prerogative of dissolution. The noble lord advised the dissolution of Parliament, and I beg to remind him that he was met by the Opposition with no effort to withhold the supplies. On the contrary, the Opposition of that day took the course which the noble lord intimated on Monday night that he should now pursue of affording every facility for an appeal to the people. That was not the language which the noble lord held upon a previous occasion. His language then was threatening. I repeat it was, in my opinion, disre spectful to the Crown. (Oh, oh :) If it meant any thing it threatened an attempt to impede the exercise of the prerogative. lam exceedingly glad that the noble lord has seen fit to alter his tone, and to hold different language. The noble lord says that ho is not apprehensioe of the result of the appeal to the people ; to that I can only reply, that her Majesty's Government regard that appeal with eq ua l constitutional which confidence. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY—I do not supp ose that a ny member of this house would suggest a d oubt of its b eing within the prerogative of the Crown t o dissolve Par liament, but when the right hon, baronet sa y s that it is disrespectful to the Crown to suggest that the House of Com mons w i ll inter fere between thethaidnli, cesoafetrihfiecrie:nigpotnhseibrilgehGtos of vern th m e e h n o t, u u se po i n a w hi c h alone the Crown dissolve s P ar li ament, and a disso lution, ich ought not to p ass w i thout some comment. ( The right hon. baronet must be aware that iat i i it manneritsic o at n rh:eh he a irs I privilege of this house to address the Crown upon matters of public policy and importance ; and if, in the opinion of this house, great public inconvenience, great injury to the domestic interests of this country, as well as great risk to the peace of Europe, as was suggested by Members of the Government, were likely to result from the dissolution of Parliament, it might have been the im perative duty of this house to take steps to interpose their advice between that tendered to her Majesty by her respon.. sible Ministers and the act which was to follow it—viz., the dissolution of Parliament. My noble friend suggested that it was not in the power of the Government to dictate what it was intimated that they intended to recommnd— an immediate dissolution; and he only reminded the house that there were certain acts which ought to be done, and which must be done, before a dissolution took place, which rendered an immediate dissolution impossible, and that it was only by the concurrence of this house, by its giving the necessary facilities, that the advice which the Government might feel it their duty to g i ve to the Sovereign could be acted upon. The Government hav ing recommended to the Sovereign an immediate dissol ution have done it upon their own responsibility, and I thin that t my noble friend and those who act with him—l think that c the majority of this house have acted wisely and judiciously course ex clusis el) upon in leaving the responsibility of that I ,! t t-` G, AP IL= 7, 1859,
