MONEY MARKET ♦NTD COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday mani fested a firm appearance, and prices were well supported. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken on speculation, and 1,000 for export. In Railway shares there was nothing doing, and the quotations tended down wards. The usual quarterly sales of indigo commenced yesterday. The quantity to be offered during the series amounts to about 7,364 chests, including 3,555 chests of old goods bought in and withdrawn from previous sales; 1,061 chests in second hands. There was a fair attendance of home and foreign buyers, and it was soon evident that the orders for export were unusually limited. Kurpah qualities were in less demand, and declined about 6d. per lb., ordinary consuming qualilies, however, sold more freely at about 3d. to 4d. per lb. decline on last sale's rates. Fine Benga]s receded 6d. to 83. per lb. ; ordinary to good, 4d. to 6d. per lb. 1,491 chests passed the chair, of which 470 were with drawn, 524 bought in, and 497 sold. The shipping intelligence to-day comprises the arrival in dock of the steamer Teviot with 60 pas sengers and 207,0001. in specie, together with the Australian mails ex the Emeu. The Avon, from the Brazils, is also in dock with 125,0001. iu trea sure. The ste , mer Istamboul is announced from Melbourne, whence she was despatched on the 14th January with 4,8001. in gold. About 61,000/. in gold was taken from the Bank yesterday. In the Continental Exchanges there is no altera tion worth special notice. _ _ The Market for Public Securities has been rather flat, but business is dull. After opening with a firmer appearance, there was a little temporary de pression, but the Funds are now rather firmer. Consuls have been 97k for money, and 971 for Account. They are now 971 # and 971 respec tively.

MANCHESTER, May 11.—Higher prices are de manded for everything (both in yarns and goods, the late rather heavy business having placed spin ners and manufacturers well under contract), and for the moment sales are checked by the rise of prices. There seems to be a growing feeling that higher rates will prevail for a time, but at present buyers hesitate at giving the terms demanded. There is a demand for all kinds of fabrics neatly, and the difficulty in effecting sales is only one of price. At last week's terms plenty of busi ness is offering, but the dearer state of the cotton-market compels an advance of quota tions. In yarns spinners are asking id. per lb. higher than on Friday which is regarded as a rather heavy advance. What business has been done has been chiefly in water twist for Germany, and in cops for home consumption. LEEDS, 11th.—The markets in the cloth-halls have been without animation this morning, the attendance of both manufacturers and merchants being small. Small parcels of goods of a general Character changed hands at late prices. MARKET NEWS.—(Tiu Da CORN EXCHANGE. A. very limited supply of English wheat was on sale in to-day's market, yet the demand for all kinds was in a sluggish state, at Monday's quotations. We were well supplied with nearly all descriptions of foreign wheat. Holders were free sellers at full prices: but millers purchased with extreme caution, at barely late rates. There was a slight improvement in the demand for barley ; but malt sold slowly, on former terms. We were extensively supplied with foreign oats, which moved off slowly, at Monday's decline. Beans and peas were firm in price; but country flour was the turn lower. Over 1,500 sacks have come in from Fiance. ARRIVALS TUTE WEEK Wheat. 1 Barley. Malt.

The supplies of meat are moderate, and tho trade goner ally rules inactive, as follows : Beef, from 3s Od to 4s 2d ; mutton, 3s 2d to 4s 4d ; lamb, 5s 6d to 6s 6d ; veal, 3s lOd to 4e 6d ; pork, 3s 2d to 4s 4d per 81bs by the carcase. PRICE OF GOLD.— The price of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille, and the short exchange on Loudon is 25.05 per pound sterling. Oa comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Si 17e. 104,1. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that geld is about 4-10ths per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark, and the shoat Exchange on Lond, , n is 13.5,i per pound sterling. Standard gold at the English Mitt price is therefore rather more than 1-10th per cent, dearer in London than hi Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight about 109 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against Eng land ; and, after making allowances for charges of trans port and difference of interest, the rresert rate leaves uo Profit on the transmission of gold either way between he two countries.

DIVORCE COURT. Before Lord Campbell, Lora Chief-Baron Pollock, and Sir E. Cresswell, Judge Ordinary.) TOURLE V, TOURLE AND RENSHAW -SPECIAL JURY CASE. This was a petition for divorce for adultery tried by a sp'cial jury, and in consequence of the parties being well known in the city v.nd the metropolis great intereet was felt in the proceedings and the court was densely crowded. Mr. Slade, Q.C., Mr. Colerilße, and Mr. Keydon, appeared for the petitioner ; Dr. Phil;itnore, Dr. Sparks, and Mr. Caarles Pollock, appeared for the wife ; and Mr. Sergeant thllantine, and Dr. Deane, appeared for the co-resp)ndent. This was a suit instituted for a divorce by the hus band against the wife on the ground of adultery com mitted by the wife between Ist Sept., 1856, and the 19th February, 1858, with Mr. Richard Rtn,haw, an officer in the 23 Dragoon Guarcle. The wife pleaded, let, uct guilty; 23, that as to any adultery since the 4th Sept., 1857, the petitioner had deserted her without reason able cause; 3d, that the petitioner bad condoned the adultery. Mr. Slade, Q.C., in stating the petitioner's case, said that the object now sought was to dissolve the marriage that had become hateful to Loth parties, and not to obtain damages from the paramour. The petitioner is a solicitor carrying on business in the City. He was the son of a gentleman who occupied a considerable position in the county of Sussex up to the period of his death in 1844, and at one time occupied the high position of High Sheriff of that county. The wife was Miss Johnson, the daughter of Mr. William Johnson, a country gentleman residing at Aldborougb, in Suffolk. He died in 1839, leaving her, his only child, a fertune of 2,5001., and under the guardianship of Mr. Sterry, a gentleman who had married a sister of the pet!. tioner'e. Mr. Sterry died in 1843, when Misa Johnson was placed by the Court of Cnae L ery under the guar dianship of Mrs Sterry. She was placed to school, and in 1849 she came to reside with Mrs. Starry at Upmin ster, in E-sex, where the petitioner became acquainted with his wife. They were married on 17th December, 1850. She was a lady of great personal attractions, and they were suitable to each other in age, fortune, and position, and there was reason to anticipate a long life of happiness before them. He was 35 years of age and the wife 21 when married. In the early part of the married life they lived in Southampton-buildings, where the petitioner had an office and carried on his business; but in Dec., 1855, they left tb%t locality, and, as they had a relative, the widow of General Lacey,' residing at Woolwich, they selected Abbey Wood as the locality of their future residence, and they took Ashmeunt Cottage. They were introduced to the families in the neighbour hood, and amongst theta that of Mr. Renshaw, who lived at West-heath, about half-a-mLe distant, a mer chant carrying on business in the city, and who at one time was chairman of ene of the railways having its terminus in the metropolis. That gentleman, who bad been married three times, and whose third wife was alive, had three sons and two daughters living, one of whom was married to a Mr. Bramwell. The co-respon dent was at this time about 21 years of age ; be was keeping his terms at C trnbridge, and was at home during the vcaeations, but since then he had taken to the military profession and was now a cornet in the 2d Dragoon Guards. During 1856 an inti macy sprung up of the closest description between the parties, and during Mr. Tourle's absence in town daily attending to his professional duties. Mr. Ren shaw was continually at the house with Mrs. Tourle, leaving, with the exception of one or two occasions, a few minutes before Mr. Tourle's retarn in the evening. The learned counsel then proceeded to detail the familia rities that had taken place between the parties, and the subsequent acts of adultery, which he said he should be able to prove, but from the number of witnesses to be examined the Court is expected to occuay the whole of the day, and probably a portion of to.morrow. CRIMINAL COUAT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Crowder and Mir. Baron Martin.) UTTERING FORGED NOTES. George Wombwell, 45, described as a cattle dealer, was indicted for uttering a forged 51. note, with intent to defraud the governor and company of the Bank of England. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sen tenced to six years' penal servitude. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This Day.) PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Balby and Worksop Road Bill was read a third time and passed. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Carlisle, Langholm, and Hawick Rail way; London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. POOR-RATES (METROPOLIS) BILL. Mr. AYRTON moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which is to equalise the poor-rates of the metropolis. He did not anticipate that the measure would receive any strong support from the house, asfew members resided in those parishes which came there for justice. There could be no doubt, however, that only an insig nificant minority of the rate-payers if the metropolis were opposed to the measure, and that minority was made np of the wealth and rank of the West-end, the occupiers of offices and residences iu the lons of Court and other extra-parochial districts. He wished the house, by giving this bill a second reading, to reaffirm the principle that whenever it was possible the area cf taxation should be extended, and which was generally acknowledged by the administrators of the poor laws ; and, after the bill had been read a second time, it could be referred to a select committee to see whether there were any local circumstances connected with the me tropolis to justify its exemption from th e o p era ti on o f that principle. For his own part be was convinced that only an imaginary distinction could be drawn between the wealth and rank of the employer in the west, and the misery and poverty of the employed in the east. Both districts were areas of taxation and according to the extent of the areas and not the number of their poor they ought to be made to contribute to the general support of the poor in the metro polis. The honourable and learned gentleman then quoted a number of instances showing the glowing in consistency in the poor-rates between the East and %Vest ends, and coamented upon the injustice of the latter raping the benefit of industry, while the former had to support the labourer who contributed to tatir luxuries. The principle wag to increase large houses; in St George's, Hanover-square, and alter districts at the west end at the expense of the poorer parishes, the richer districts rejoicing in the fact that by so doing they get rid of their own poor, and reduce the rates by driving them into poorer districts. Those who could best pay for the re lief of the poor were gradually relieving themselves from the expense, whilst the poor in districts who can least bear the burthen were having it daily increa•ed. That was a state of things that ought not to exist. It was said the chan.Ji pr pesed would be a tax upon property, but that might be said in respect of every tax. The old law of 40 days' living gave a settlement, aud, was that the case now, the rates of St. George's, Hanover-square, would be greatly increased. When 12 tn..nths' living gave a seiLlement the rates were double what they now were. That had been altered, and immediately on the change from 12 more he' living to five years' residence the rates of St. George's, Ha nover-square, immediately fell to one-half. The poor man on 501. or 601. a-year residing in the poi r dis tricts paid as much as the man of 4001. or 5001. who lived in some more favoured locality. That was a grievance that was loudly and justly complained of. Petitions, signed by 60,000 or 70,000 cf the middle class ratepayers, had been preseeted to the house claim ing an equality of this burden. The house ou2ht to attend totbe appearof the people and eudeavour togive them the relief they asked. In illustration of the distress existing in the me ropolis the hon, and learned ge tleman re - ferred to the deaths from privation. In 1848, including deaths from neglect, cold, and infants from wantef breast milk, &c., 222 deaths were registered ; in 1855, they amounted to 460 ; in 1856, they were 414, and in 1857, they were 416. The number of the ratepayers and the amounts paid by them in the returns that had been made, did not fairly show the berthens complained of. If the number of poor persons who were summoned for non-payment of poor-rates were ascertained, it would be found the burthen was much greater than was ima gined. He predicted that such are urn would show a most startling result, and that they were more numerous than those who resided in the favoured parishes, and were relieved at the expense of the former. He warned the house that it was unwise in them to resist this measure, and allow 500.000 able-bodied men to believe they were suffering injustice at the bands of about 500,000 nobility and g' etry in the favoured parishes, who were strong enough to laugh at their complaints and that house, and resist their appeal for relief. There was a time when the people of Wales were not heard in that howe. A change bad taken place in that respect, and be assured the house that the 500,000 residents in the poorer districts would sooner or later be heard in this matter. (Hear, hear.) The only objection he had heard to the measure was that extending the area o: taxation would tend to make new tax in the administration of the poor. (Cheers.) He contended that the bill effectually pro vided against that and he asked the house to read the bi 1. Any defects in the bill could be amended in com mittee. Mr. S. ESTCOURT complained that the speech of the hon. and learned gentleman partook of the character of a menace. (Hear) hear.) Which generally bad a tendency to defeat the ohjoct it bad in view. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. S. Estcourt) desired that that house laughed at the complaints of the people, and he chal lenge hon. members to state a case where that house as a body kad sacrificed a principle to save their pocket.. He was anxious the bill should be introduced, from there appearing to be a prima facie case that the hardships complained of really existed, in order that the house and different Boards of GLardians interested might have au opportunity of reading its provisions. The opponents of the bill would place the law relative to the (y the metropolis in the hands of an irresponsible board, and complained that many of the irregularities c -mplained of resulted from local mismanagme•.t. He considered the provisions of the bill would encourage wasteful ex penditure in connection with the administration of the poor, and his main objection to the bill was, that those who contributed the money for the relief of the poor would have no share whatever in its expenditure. (Hear, bear.) With regard to the general eim, unt of rating in the metropolis, he found that in 1850 the ave• rage of the rate was ls. 61d. in the pound, whilst the average throughout E Timid was ls. 7d. 1-10th in the pound.

CHARGE OF RAPE, A labouring man named James Harrison, was in dicted for committing a rape upon the person of Mary Soutberan, a married worm% and the mother of six children. Mr. Ribton appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. om the evidence it appeared that the prosecutrix was present on the Sunday, the 21st of February, she was present amongst other persons at a house in Little Port land-street, on the occasion of a christening. She arrived at the house about one o'clock and remained there till late at night. Shortly after sine o'clock she was taken unwe'l and retired into the adjoining room (the pri soner's) where there was a bed aad laid down. At ten o'cl •ck she was awakened by the prisoner. entering she room. He locked the door and undressed himself, then got into bad, and in spite of all resistance and cries he accomplished his purpose. There were other persons in the next room. She immedistely left the house and went in search of a policeman ' • and on finding one she informed him that she had been violently assaulted, and wished him to take him into cus'ody. On the polioeman enter • lug the house in Little Portland-street, the prosecutrix entered a room, and pointed out the prisoner as the man who had assaulted her. The policeman told the prisoner that he must go to the station-house on a charge of committing an assault upon the woman. He refused, and said he was not to blame, and tiat he would not go. A violent struggle took place, and after a great deal of trouble he was taken into custody. In cross examination by Mr. Sltigh, the prosecu trix said she was awoke by the nan getting into bed. She had taken a little gin, but was not intexi cated. She took the spirits as a remedy for spasms... Mr. H. Raymond, surgeon to the Iliry!ebOne police force, stated that on the Monday folowing the day of the assault the prosecutrix was brouglt to him by order of Mr. Broughton, the magistrate, and, in accordance with directions, he made an examinabon of her person, being previously told she was a mawied woman. He found no marks of violence whatever on her person, but he thought that the offence with whim the prisoner was charged might have been committed without leaving marks of violence. In anstvet;-questions from Mr. Sleigh the witness said that even if the rebistance bad hem offered such as the prosecutrix described still the donee might have been committed without leaving marks of violence. Mr. Sleighad — d7essed the jury for the prisoner and contended that as the evidence of the posecutrix was not corroborated it ought to be received with great caution, and that if the woman had riade the resist ance that she said she bad it war exceedingly unlikely that it should not have been heard by the other parties who were in the adjoining room. Mr. Baron Martin, in summing up the evidence, said the offence with which the prisoner stood charged with was one of the most heinous offences known to the law, and therefore they should be perfectly eatisfed with the evidence before they found the prix ner guilty. There was a discrepancy in the evi ;once of the prosecitrix which they could not have failed to have oSierved. In her examination in chief she said at ten o'clock cn the even ing in question she was awoke by the prisoner entering the room and looking the door, end in her cross-exami nation she said she was awoke by finding the prisoner in bed with her. It would be for them (tie jury) to recon cile these two statements. The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a ver dict of not guil.y. NEW COURT.

A numerously attended meeting of deposit credi tors of Messrs. Calvert and Co., brewers, took pace yesterday -:.t the Loudon Tavern, Mr. W. Smell , y in the chair. It appeared that the number of trade creditors ofthe firm is only t we l ve, exc l us i ve of tradesmen's bills amounting to about 3,0001., and that the mortgages on the brewery and public houses are respectively held by two and seven parties, from whom no opposition to the winding up of the estate under inspectien is an ticipated. Under the proposed deed of inspe c ts ° , it is hoped, by lowering the rate of interest of de positors and other reductions, to effect a saving in the expenditure of 20,0001. annually, and that not only will the whole of the inteteet and part of the principal or the deposits be paid in the cour:e of the next two years, but also that the concern will be brought into such a satis factory position that persons of wealth may be induced to enter it and clear off the r e maining liability. On the other hand, the consequences will be ruinous if bankruptcy is resented to. Should the 359 public-houses be forced on the market it would cause a heavy loss on the sum at which they are estimated, and also depreciate the value of that description of prAperz,y. Again, both the brewery and the public-houses are, as far as profit is con cerned, in some measure self-dependent, and would suffer from being separated. The depositors are 369 in number, with claims varying from 101. to 10, 000/. Di ey are of all classes—persons who have retired from business and intended to live upon the interest of their deposits ; others who had left their money for a period, and who were about to enter into trade, &c. ; and include 44 societies, whose debts amount to more than 11,0001. The concur rence of this class of creditors in the proposed 1 quidation cannot be predicted with certainty, as although no doubt six -sevenths of them in amount will agree, some difficulty is apprehended with re gard to the six-sevenths in number legally required. Tile proposed inspec;ors are Mr. White, of the firm of Wigan, White, and Co., hop factors; Mr. H. Kingscote, formerly connected with Bruce, Buxt n, and Co. ; and Mr. J. Morse, one of Messrs. Cal vert's collectors, and a depositor to a large amount. Some discussion took place on thepossibleappoint merit of a fourth, the feehog of the meeting being expressed strorigV in favour of the nomination of the chairman, but it wss explained that any interpolation would invalidate the deed aLd nul lify the signatures already appended. It was ultimately determined to request the inspectors to permit a periodical examination of the accounts by Mr. Smalley, arid a resolution was passed pledging the assistance of the creditors present in the future carrying on of the brewery. In the course of the proceedings it transpired t hat the stoppage arose from Messrs. Calvert having over-extended their business especially by specu Ming in the wine trade since the year 1846, at which time they commenced to mortgage their property.

On Monday two officers of the Royal Engineers at B 1 onipton Barracks, Chatham, named Lieut. George Mansell Collings, and Lieut. Robt. Hamil ton Vetch, were charged before the county magis trates at Rochester with hating each presented a loaded gun at George Edward Osborne, a market gardener at Gillingham, and threatened to shoot him. The statements made by the prosecutor in pre fer riug the charge was to the effect that on the pre vious Friday afreinoon he saw the two defendants, each with a gun, in a field through which there was no thoroughfare. There were two dogs with them engaged in trading. Prosecutor sent one of ids men to order them away, on which Lieutenant Collings aoted in a very disgusting manner, and at the same time made use of a filthy expression to him. He then demanded what they meant by such conduct, when they both became greatly ex cited, and flew into a violent passion, asking pro secutor what right he had to say anything to them, and threatened to shoot him if he spoke another word. They at the same time cocked their guns, which were capped, and presented them at him, repeating their threat. Fearing they would carry their threat into effect, prosecutor called for assist ance and gave them into custody, but on the con stable attempting to take them they knocked hint down, and were so violent that another police constable had to be sent for, when they were both handcuffed and taken to the s•ation-house. _ _ The magistratef, - Witin;i hearing any evidence in support of the complaint, and without calling on the accused for any answer to the charge, re fused to allow the prosecution to proceed, and de. clined to entertain the charge against the def en . dant s for threatening to shoot the prosecutor. The prosecutor then stated his intention to employ counsel, and make the charge against the defen dants on the next court day, but the magistrates told him if he did so, they would not entertain it. The two officers were then charged with assault ing the constable who took them into custody whilst in the execution of his duty. The bench, how eveifdeclined to receive this charge also, saying that as they had refused to allow the charge of attempt ing to shoot to be proceeded with, the constable bad no right to take the accused into custody, and there fore had exceeded his duty. Tho two defendants, who had been seated near the bench, then left the cow t. The names of the magistrates on the bench were the Rev. G. Davieß, J.'S with, Esq., W. M. Smith, E-q., Aljor 11.
