MONEY 3LI 7ITY NE Tr'S. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. During the last few days there has been a steady business in most descriptions of Foreign and Colo nial Produce, and prices generally have shown an upward tendency. Tea has fully maintained its previous value, although very little business has been done :owing to the approach of the public sales which commenze to-clay. For sugars there has been more enquiry, chiefly for the superior kinds which have advanced about Gd. per cwt. The transactions in coffee have been moderate and for Plantation Ceylon the demand has not been quite so active ; holders, however, demand fully previous rates. Rice has been in moderate request at about previous quotations, and steady prices have been obtained for spices, fruit, and saltpetre. The dealings in tallow have been larger, and prices have improved to 58s. 9d. for delivery on the spot, and 595. for March. Letters from Liverpool report that in the Cotton Market yesterday a fair amount of business was transacted, at about former values. The sales were 8,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices exhibited no alteration of im portance. About £14,000 in gold was withdrawn yesterday from the Bank of England for transmission to the Continent.• The silver market continues rather active, and dollars have advanced to ss. 21d. per oz., bars remain at ss. 21d. oz. standard. A meeting has been held to-day of the Scottish Australian Mining Company, at which a lengthened report, detailing the past history and future pros pects of the undertaking, was adopted. The latent 'accounts from the mines are satisfactory. At the meeting of the Commercial Dock Company, held to-day, Mr. J. W. Bosanquet in the chair, the report was adopted, and a dividend of 21 per cent. for the half-year, free of income-tax, was declared. Business continues rather active in the Discount Market, but the supply of money is very large, and bankers and brokers are consequently disposed to negotiate bills on easy terms. Besides the dividends payable at the Bank, a considerable amount is now in course of distribution by Miscellaneous Joint Stock Companies, which created additional relief. The Bank of France return for the month ending yesterday shows that the demand for money in that country has lately increased, notwithstanding the expectation entertained a week ago, that the rate of discount would be immediately reduced, A di minution is exhibited in the bullion, and an increase has taken place in the bills discounted and in the advances on securities. A heavy tone still pervades the market for Eng lish Securities, and inactivity, as well as weakness, is apparent, owing to the limited character of the speculative operations. The uncertainty created by the complications arising out of the Italian question exerts an unfavourable influence on busi ness in speculative securities. Consols are flat at 95 1 for money, and at 95 for account. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced are steady at 95 ; the 5 per Cent. Annuities have been dealt in at 109; and Exchequer Bills at 28s. to 31s prem. ; Bank Stock has receded to 2271 ; India ditto, to 2221 ; ditto New Loan remains at 103: 104; and ditto 5 Per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 971. Rather less activity is apparent in the Foreign Stock Market, but prices are tolerably well sup ported. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 772 to 78i ; ditto New, 64 to 65 ; Russian 5 per Cents. are steady at 1091 ; ditto 4-1- per Cents. have improved to 98! ; ditto 3 per Cents. are heavy at 65k ; and Venezuelan 3 per Cents. at 271- ; Spanish 3 per Cents. are firmer at 44. The shares of the Ocean Marine Insurance are 11 to 1Z prem., of the Universal ditto dis. to par, the San Paulo Railway 11 dis., the New Bank of Turkey to I dis., and the Canadian Loan is 22 .1 prem., being rather flatter.

The aquatic world will be gratified to learn that a scul lora' contest is in contemplation between the renowned Henry Clasper, of Newcastle-upon Tyne, and George Drewitt, the celebrated landsman, of Chelsea, who has de feated many good watermen. It may be remembered that some twelve months or more ago, when Drewitt was in the North, engaged as a trainer, there was some talk of a match between him and one of the Claspers, either Harry or his young son John ; but the parties proceeded no farther than talking until a few weeks since, when Drowitt challenged Henry Clasper to row in London, and after challenges had passed and re-passed between them, Clasper has at length consented to row the Chelsea man under the following con ditions--viz., he will give or take £lO for expenses, and toss for choice of place, whether Clasper shall come to London to row, or Drewitt go to Newcastle ; the race to come off within three months from the first deposit. There is there fore now every probability that a match will be made be tween them, and if such should be the case, although there is so great a difference in their relative ages, there will no doubt be a good contest. The only objection, we believe, that Drewitt has, is going to the north to row, but Clasper naturally objects to come to London, and nothing can be fairer than his proposition to toss for choice of places, Drewitt to take the chance as White did in his race with Chambers of the result of the toss being against him, but we doubt not that the matter will speedily bo settled in an ami cable manner. ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning self destruction was attempted by a woman named Mary Ann Davis, aged 35, residing in Osborne-street, Whitechapel. It appeared that the policeman on duty in going round In gram-court, Fenchurch-street, found the unfortunate crea ture on the g roun d i n a s t a t e o f i nsens ibili ty, with a phial by her side which had contained laudanum. He imme diately had her carried to St. Thomas's Hospital, but she still remains in a very precarious state. THE LATE MARCHIONESS OF BuTE.--About three years ago the Marchioness of Bute was made the executrix and residuary legatee of her uncle, the late Capt. Hamilton Fitzgerald, R.N. That benevolent officer munificently left a legacy of £lO,OOO to the Royal National Lifeboat In stitution, and the like sum to the Seamen's Hospital. The gallant captain died in Brussels, but his will had been pre viously executed in London by Messrs. Clayton, of Lancas ter-place. The Belgian Government made, wo believe, a claim of £l5 per cent. or more of legacy duty on the whole of the captain's property, amounting to about £60,000. The English Government made also a demand of £lO per cent, on the same, so that between the two Governments the legacies to the two benevolent societies would be reduced one-fourth. However, the Marchioness of Bute resolutely disputed the claim of the alien Government, and her liti gation continued for nearly two years with it. In the meantime her ladyship, most considerately, had deposited the £lO,OOO at the London and Westminster Bank. During a portion of the period of its lodgment there the money actually bore an interest of £8 per cent., and an average of more than £5 per cent. on the whole term. At last the marchioness succeeded in completely frustrating the Be'. gian Government, and in having the satisfaction to pay the legacies nearly in full to both institutions, exclusive of legacy duty. At that period the National Lifeboat Insti luion was strugglin g hard to pursue its course of useful ness in the cause of humanity. and its committee decided at once to spend, if necessary, the whole amount of the legacy in placing additional lifeboats on the coast. Since then the boats have been built, and have often been instru mental in rescuing scores of lives from a watery grave. THIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The quantity' of English wheat received fresh up to-day, was very moderate, and the show of samples was again limited. Good and fine qualities were taken off by the millers somewhat freely, at fully Monday's currency. Damp parcels, however, commanded very little attention. We were fairly supplied with most descriptions of foreign wheat. The business was by no means extensive ; never theless, prices were freely supported. Floating cargoes sold on former terms; but the inquiry fur them was in active. Although over 18,000 quarters of barley have comefresh to hand, the barley trade was firm at full quotations. We have to report a slow trade for all kinds of malt, at about last week's prices. Good sound oats were in fair request on former terms; but damp qualities wera a heavy inquiry. Beans and peas were very dull ; but flour commanded quite as much money as of late. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats Flour.

In the refined market more activity has prevailed, previous prices having been firmly supported. COFFEE.—At the public sales of Plantation Ceylon price were rather depressed; other deseriptions, however, support former rates. RICE.—The dealings have been moderately extensive, but little alteration has taken place in prices.

ACCIDENT IN THE HUNTING FIELD.—Mr. Smith, a surgeon of Wolverhampton, was hunting on Saturday with the Albrighton houdds, when his horse swerved as he put the animal at a gate, and both horse and rider came clown. Mr. Smith was thrown against the post with such force that his ribs were fractured. Ifo left the field and rode back to Beckbury, where he remained until a convey ance could be procured to bring him to Wolverhampton.- IVolverhampton Chronicle. Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co. have received in telligence of the successful laying of the telegraph between the Channel Islands and France, making a third line of telegraphic communication to that country, - - It is stated that the delays complained of for some months past in the transmission of messages between Malta and London have lately been remedied, and that during the last few days especially the communication has been rapid. It appears by statements published yesterday from St. Poiersburg that of the £12,000,000 Russian Loan, introduced last autumn, only £5,490,000 was placed in the continental and Lendon markets. The Government of the colony of Victoria have given notice, through the London committee of the six asso ciated Australian banks, contractors for the Victoria Rail way loan, that the sum required during the present year will again be £3,000,000, and that the tenders for the whole will be received in April next. It is understood, however, that a portion is intended to discharge the claims of the persons interested in the Geelong and Melbourne Railway, amounting to about £700,000, and chiefly held in this coun try, while the greater part of the remainder will be dis bursed here for railway materials. CRINOLINE HOOKED.—A ludicrous scene was witnessed at the Dearhani station of the Maryport and Car lisle Railway on Sunday. A brisk dalisel got into the morning train at the Dalston station. She had the usual circular appendage to her dress, and it required only a slight pressure to enable her to pass through the narrow doorway. Far different, however, was the young lady's attempt at egress. The crinoline was unluckily not of the most approved pattern. It could not be contracted and expanded at pleasure ; but when it was pressed at the sides it jutted out both behind and before. When, therefore, the blooming girl essayed to leave the carriage at Dear ham, the inflated machine was hooked by a projection of the carriage, and its unfortunate wearer was fairly sus pended in mid-air. There she remained, to the gaze of all beholders, till the guard ran t o the rescue, and helped the now blushing damsel from her awkward position. She was quick to escape from the scene of her misery.—Ca7 liele Examiner. A Government case of some importance came on for hearing before the magistrates at Devonport on Tuesday. Mr. W. Eastlake, solicitor, who appeared on behalf of the Admiralty, stated that the prisoner, John Lawrence, was a mason employed in the dockyard, and was charged with attempting to commit a felony, having been detected in making preparations and arranging a scheme for robbing the pay-office in the dockyard. The case was a peculiar one, and deserved the careful consideration of the magistrates, as it closely approximated to a very serious crime. Mr. Eastlake then stated that no possible doubt could exist of the moral guilt of the prisoner, but that it would be for them to decide whether his legal guilt was sufficiently established to warrant his committal for the offence with which he was charged. Whatever might be their decision the bench would approve the course adopted by the Admiral Superintendent, who had conceived it to be a higher moral duty to deter crime than to permit an attempt to arrive at maturity and then to punish it. The evidence of Wm. Isles and John Martin, labourers and attendants on the pay office, and of Mr. henry Brady, the accountant, proved that on the 30th of December prisoner first asked Isles to come to his " cabin" in the yard, when ho said, " What I want to know is if you'll mix up with a bit of roguery. I want to get the impression of the keys, especially the key of the safe, for £2,000 or £3,000 is easily taken away." He then took a piece of soap and showed how the impression was to be taken four different ways, and said it must be done in gotta percha, and that if no locks were picked the blame would fall on the clerks. Isles declined, but on the following Tuesday, when walking in the verandah of the pay-office, prisoner showed him a piece of guttapercha, and Isles, then informed Mr. Morris, second-cl ass c l er k, o f all that passed. On Wednesday prisoner askedhini to leave the keys down, and having received permission, ho did so. There are three keys on one ring, viz., ono each for the front door, back door, and pay office. They are usually taken to the ac countant's office every evening at 5, and brought therefrom in the morning at half-past 7. During the day the key of the pay-office was missing. John Martin said that on the morning of the sth inst. he saw prisoner on his haads and knees under the stairs. When questioned he said he was looking for a piece of carpet. Prisoner then inquired if any one slept in the pay-office, and if the safe-room was all iron. Martin watched prisoner. and saw him replace the missing key. The evidence not being sufficient to establish legal guilt the prisoner was discharged. He has been many years in the Dockyard, from which he is now dismissed. Occasionally there is as much as £30,000 in the pay-office of the Dovonport Dockyard. I'RICE OF GOLD.—The quotatiom of gold at Path is about per milled, and the short exchange on London is 25.10 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short, exchange on London is 13.3/ per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 109 a # per cent., which, when compared with the Mint proportions between the two countries, shows that the ex change is slightly against England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte rest, the present rate leaves no profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

The following letter from the Rev. Dr. Cullen is publishtd in y( sterday's Freeman : My dear Mr. Russell,—Whilst Catholicity is assailed by so many enemies and such dangers from without, the necessity of avoiding everything cal culated to occasion internal divisions and dissen sions must be evident to all. Impressed with this conviction, I cannot refrain from offering a few ob servations on the subject of a letter signed "Pope Hennessy, M.P.," which appeared in to-day's Free man, animadverting on the address to Lord Pal merston, to which your name and that of Mr. Ebrington, jun., are attached as secretaries. Having had nothing whatsoever to do, as you are aware, with the preparation of that "declara tion," I do not at all feel canal upon to undertake its defence. However, I must express my humble opinion that the strictures of Mr. Hennessy on the document itself, and much more the censures cast upon those who signed it, are evidently cal culated to create distrust, awaken dissension, and finally to break up that union now happily prevail ing amongst us. United in principle and object— , and more cannot be reasonably expected —we must, in the employment of means to effect our purpose, leave room for, and wisely tolerate, differences of opinion. All catholics, with so few exceptions, rail nantes in gurgite vasto, as scarcely to require any notice, are agreed on the importance of pre serving the Pope in possession of his temporal do minions, and of discountenancing the violence and treason of which he has been made the victim. The address substantially agrees in ail this. It states : Firstly—That it is expedient for the general in terests of Europe that the head of the church, which comprises the great majority of the Christian world, should, by his position as an independent Sovereign, be free to exercise his spiritual authority over catholics of all nations, unfettered by the feeling of dependence upon any particular state. Secondly—That the wisdom of this policy has been acknowledged by sovereigns and statesmen of various creeds, and has been solemnly sanctioned by treaty. Thirdly—ln their anxiety to maintain unim paired the temporal authority of the Pope, the per sons signed to the address advocate opinions in accordance with the interests of the British empire, which contains so many millions who venerate his Holiness as the spirantl head of their church, and whose contentment is not unworthy of the serious attention of British statesmen: Fourthly—A wish is expressed that the blessings of good government should be everywhere ex tended, and that the reforms commenced by his Holiness in the States of the Church should be soon completed. Fifthly—lt is stated to be unjust to hold the Pope responsible for the misgovernment of which he has been accused. Sixthly—That the Pope, by his act on his acces sion to the papacy, proved his earnest attachment to the cause of nationality and improvement. Seventhly—That his efforts were unhappily frus trated by the machinations of foreign adventurers who worked by terror and intrigue on the feelings of a volatile population, and employed the reforms already effected by his Holiness as instrnments for the subversion of his throne. Eightly,—That her Majesty's Government be called on to promote or concur in such settlement of the affairs of Italy as, while it provides for the liberties of the Italian people, will secure the inte grity, independence, and neutralily of the Holy See. These several propositions, taken in a great part word for word from your 'declaration,' are not at all at variance with the resolutions adopted at our several meetings, nor with the sentiments expressed by our most eloquent and zealous speakers. It is true that expediency is put forward very promi nently in the ' declaration,' and that no reference is made to the injustice and sacrilegious character of the attempts directed against the patrimony of St. Peter. But the just and sacred rights of the Pope are not in any way impugned or denied, they are rather supposed and admitted, and perhaps they were passod over in silence; because it might seem useless and out of place to speak of justice and reli gion in addressing a statesman, whose policy is ap parently regulated by mere motives of expediency and temporal considerations. But why address Lord Palmerston at all ? Why address a man who does not conceal his hostility to the Pope? Why should he be allowed to interfere in tho settlement of the patrimony of St. Peter? In reply, I say that it would be most desirable that no Protestant statesman should be allowed to in terfere in matters which so nearly concern our re ligion and the liberty and free action of our church. It is not to be wished for that either Whig or Tory, Protestant, or Presbyterian, should be allowed to intrude into the domain of ecclesiastical affairs. But, unhappily, if a congress should be held, not only English Protestants, but Greek schismatics and Prussian evangelicals, will consider it their right to vote on the various questions now pending, which are so closely connected with the independence of the holy See. If this be the case, why not remind the Primo Minister of England that he will lose the confidence of se: veral millions of her Majesty's subjects, if ho takes any part against the rights of the Pope, and that it is, consequently, expedient for him to support the independence, integrity, and neutrality of the dominions of the Pope? But, perhaps, greater confidence could be placed in a Conserva tive Minister in regulating such questions. It may be so, but I doubt very much whether we have any thing to expect from a party that has for its leaders most bitter opponents of catholicity, and rests in Ireland for its support on the Orange lodges of this country. Whilst Lord Derby proclaims the Pope's territory a plague spot, and Lord Malmesbury and Mr. Disraeli call for its dismemberment, and Lord Ellenborough subscribes money for the purchase of a million muskets to arm the rebels of the Pope's states, I must confess that I find myself embarrassed to make a choice between the aid of Lord Palmer ston and Lord John Russell, and that I cannot but pray that his Holiness may be preserved from the affectionate care and protection of both parties. As to the censures passed on the gentlemen whose names have been attached. to your "decla ration," it is not necessary for me to speak in their defence. All I shall say is, that from au acquaint ance with several of them, who are connected with this diocese, I am able to affirm that they aro the supporters of every Catholic charity, and sincerely devoted to the cause of our Holy Father the Pope. Many of them ou the occasion of some of our late meetings came forward, or were ready to come forward to join in defending him against the assaults of his enemies. Indeed, I must say, that all the respectability, the wealth, the station of this great city united most cordially in this holy cause with the industrial and work ing classes, and it would be impossible to deter mine what class was most zealous in defending the rights and independence of the successor of St. Peter. Whilst wo are thus united in principle, let no difference of opinion in regard to the manner of expressing our principles be allowed to dissolve so happy a union. Some will not go so far as others some will not speak as strongly as we would wish ; but whilst all agree in demanding the freedom and independence of the patrimony of th e Holy See, there is no reason why we should split into parties and condemn the proceedings of others who agree with us in principle and are with us in heart. Ex cuse this long letter, and allow me to assure you that I fully appreciate the great services you and Mr. Errington render to public charities in Dublin, and I remain, your obedient servant, " PAUL CULLEN." BURSTING OF A CULVERT AT THE BIRRENHEAD DOCK Woiucs.—At the meeting of the Mersey Dock Board yesterday it was stated that a culvert, which drained the whole of the low lands at - Wallasey ' near the Birkenhead Dock Works, had burst and d one so much damage that the opening of tho Great Float would be delayed till August. The financial agents of Canada state, with regard to the new loan of £2,800,0J0 now about to be issued, that so numerous have been the applications on the part of the public that they regret it will not only be out of their power to meet the demands upon them, but also to reply separately to each individual request.
