MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The accounts received from the various manufac turing districts are of a rather more satisfactory character. In some localities a gradual improve ment has taken place, chiefly in the demand for home consumption. At Manchester increased activity has prevailed in the inquiry for India goods. Yarns, however, have declined. A fair amount of cloth has changed hands at Leeds, chiefly for home consumption, and some of the shipping houses, especially those engaged in the East India and China trade, have been rather:busy with light fabrics; heavy cloths, however, have been dull. The manufacturers nevertheless are fairly em ployed, as large orders for army and navy cloths have been given out. At Bradford the market has been dull for piece goods, and rates are generally in favour of buyers. A very limited business has been done in yarns, both for the home trade and for exportation. The hosiery trade at Leicester has continued moderately active, some extensive orders for the United States having arrived. At Nottingham most branches of the lace trade have been very quiet, and hosiery goods have been in rather less demand. At Birmingham very little change of importance has taken place in the various trades connected with the town and neigh bourhood ; the demand for exports has been ex ceedingly inactive, although a few orders have been received from the West Indies, but the inquiry for the home trade has been considerably below the average. At Wolverhampton little improvement Can be reported in the iron trade, but as stocks are lOvv, an improvement is confidently anticipated. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed With a steadier appearance, and 8,000 bales were sold at fully previous rates. In the Railway Share Market only a very small amount of business Was transacted, and prices tended downwards. In the Corn Market to-day business has been dull, and English wheat is nominally 2s. to 3s. per quarter cheaper. The directors of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada have issued their report, in anti cipation of the half-yearly meeting, which is con vened for the 31st inst. It states that during the six months ending 31st March last the net profits amounted to £12,051 14s. 7d., which, added to the S um brought forward from September last, gives a balance at credit of revenue of £12,265 1 ls. 2d. From this a dividend at the rate of 71 per cent. is proposed. To-d a y a call of £1 ss. or X 13,750, becomes due on the Tralee and Killarney Railway. There were no gold withdrawals from the Bank of England on Saturday. The Money Market still retains an easy appear ance. At the Bank of England, as well as in Lom bard -street, the applications continue limited, as e ornparatively little employment is found for capital in the development of joint-stock enterprise, and the requirements of trade, although somewhat ex tensive, are not productive of activity in monetary circles. Lower rates consequently prevail. The best descriptions of short-dated paper are nego tiated at 1, to 1 per cent. cheaper in the general market than at the national establishment. Gold is now arriving in large parcels from Russia, but so active is the demand for France, that a consignment of £lOO,OOO, which was received on Saturday, was at once appropriated. In a similar manner all the Australian and Ameri can gold merely passes through this country, instead of accumulating at the Bank, but, the wants of the exporters being met by these receipts, the stock of bullion is maintained at a satisfactory point. Although speculative business is very dull, there are numerous investments, which as usual exercise a favourable influence upon values. Soon after the market opened, therefore, the Funds exhibited an improvement of per cent., and as higher prices Were expected from the French Bourse, a much better feeling prevailed. This impression, how ever, has not proved correct, as the Rentes are t elegraphed at a slight decline. Consols are still 9 4=1, but the tone of the market is scarcely so ann. Bank Stock has improved to 220 and 2211, the New Threes and the Reduced Annuities to 90 a nd Exchequer Bills are steady at 20s. to 235. preen. The New I n di an L oan S cr i p i s fiat at 21 dis., being marked 921. In the Foreign Market also increased firmness has been apparent. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been dealt in at 61, and the New Loan at 50 51, the latest prices being 60 62 and 50 52 respectively. Transactions have been recorded in Peruvian 41 per Cents, at 811 ; in the 3 per Cents. at 60 to 62 ; in Buenos Ayres, at 751, ; and in Mexican, at 161 1. In the Railway Share Market the transactions have been to a moderate extent, and in several instances pri ces h ave shown rather more buoyancy. London and Blackwall have advanced £1 ; Mid land, 10s; and North Western and East Anglian, ss. Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North- Eastern (York) and South Eastern, have declined ss. , and Great Western, and North Eastern (Berwick) 10s. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets little variation of importance can be recorded. Lom bardo -Venetian shares are a shade higher, the old share s having been dealt in at 51 5?-„ and the New at 41,- 5. The latest quotations, however, were 51 to 5 for the former, and 47 ; to 51 for the latter. Great Luxembourg realised 41, and West Flanders 5,1. East Indian have advanced to 96, and Great Indian Peninsula to 95. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares show an upward tendency. Bank of Australasia have advanced ss. ; London and County, as. ; Oriental Bank, ss. ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, los. ; Royal Mail Steam and London General Omnibus Companies brought former rates.

Consols, Money Consols for Account, June 7 -DESTRUCTIVE STORM IN THE RED SEA. We have been favoured by the Peninsular and Oriental Company with the following extract of a letter from Capt. Calbeck, dated Aden, 4th May : " A terrific storm of thunder, lightning, and rain burst upon Aden on the night of the 30th of April and morning of Ist May. It lasted in its full Strength three hours. There are 187 stone houses in ruins, nearly all the cisterns destroyed, great Portions of the roads swept into the valleys by the Slipping of the mountain sides. Up to this date no ee namunication between Point and Camp by wheeled c arriages, and enormous quantities of grain and food S wept i n t o t h e sea. O ur d e bash, Cowasjee unshay, had a stone house over a mile from the S ea, cont a i n i ng 1 45 sheep ; i n t h e morn i ng not _ vestige was to be seen. Between 20 and 30 per rils were d rowne d i n places where i t was th oug ht the waters could never reach. The damage is esti mated at between £20,000 and £30,000 sterling. The c ompany's pr o p er t y i s un h arme d . " It -is rumoured in military circles that it is in contemplation to re-organise and augment the corps of Regal Engineers, in order to raise that force to 10,000 men, or about douole its present number.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat ; nevertheless, all kinds changed hands slowly, and in some instances prices were a shade lower. There was a fair, but by no means active, inquiry for spring corn at previous currencies. Flour was dull. Throughout the Continent nearly all kinds of produce continue to support the late advance in the quotations. In the United States both wheat and flour have sold at further enhanced rates. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were limited. From abroad we received 2,725 qrs. of wheat, 5,045 barley, 24,262 oats, 1,704 beans, 570 peas, 7,550 lin seed, 18,660 rapeseed, 137 sundry seeds; 6,329 sacks and 420 brls. of flour. The arrivals of wheat fresh up to-day from Essex were limited ; from Kent only moderate. Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both red and white was small, the demand for all kinds was heavy in the extreme ; indeed, so little business was transacted that the quotations were almost nominal. However, we may call the prices from 3s to 4s per qr lower than on Monday last. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on offer for the time of year. The sales were wholly confined to retail parcels, at about 2s per quarter decline when com pared with last week. In floating cargoes, off Falmouth, scarcely any business was done. Fine samples of barley realised previous quotations ; but all other kinds moved off heavily at barely late rates. Malt changed hands slowly at last week's currency. Good sound oats sold at full prices, but damp parcels wore lower to purchase. Beans were a slow sale, at last week's currency. The few peas in the market realised previous rates. The flour trade was very dull, and country markets were a shade lower to purchase. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

For most breeds the demand ruled steady, though not to say brisk, at fully last Mon day's quotations. A few very superior crosses realised 4s 10d per 8 lbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,000 Scots, short horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 600 of various kinds; from Scotland, 200 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 40 oxen, &c. We were seasonably well supplied with most kinds of sheep. On the whole, the mutton trade was firm, and it some instances prices ruled a shado higher than on Mon_ day last. However, the general top figure for - Downs did not exceed 5s per 8 lbs. We had a fair demand for lambs, at fully last week's currencies. The quotations ranged from 5s 4d to 6s 6d per 8 lbs. There was a slight Improvement in the veal trade, at extreme rates. The best calves sold at 5s 4d per 8 lbs. In pigs very little was doing ; nevertheless, prices were supported.

(before Lord Campbell, Baron Martin, and • Cresswell.) Sir Cresswell STUDY V. STUDY • The question in dispute was, vi '•-e;,her the documents and evidence produced supported the decree of the Judge Ordi nary, decreeing divorce. 'his was a petition by the wife for divorce against the husband for adultery with Jean Murdoch. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., appeared for the husband, and supported the appeal. The learned counsel contended that the agreement was entered into by the parties in the knowledge of the adultery, and that it was binding on the wife. By that agreement it was declared that if she did not hilfil the agreement he was to have his control over her as her husband, on the resumption of his marital authority over her, whatever his way of living might be. He submitted that her husband, Major Study, was entitled to resume his marital rights unless she made out a new case of adultery against him. Their lordships were of opinion that the agreement must be construed in connection with the evidence produced in the cause. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., referred to the "case of "Barker v. Barker, 2 Evans, p. 285," on this point, and proposed to examine and cross-examine the respondent on the subject, and the court below ought not to have pronounced the decree appealed from before taking that evidence, as well as to examine the petitioner on this point. - Dr. Spinks, Q C., followed on the same side, and said that under the Act of Parliament the Court were bound to follow as nearly as possible the practice of the Court of Arches. Lord Campbell thought there must be a difference be tween facts and presumptions. Dr. Spinks contended that, according to the true con struction of the agreement, he was to have control over her whatever manner of life he led. It amounted to leave and licence, and it was for the wife to select that presumption according to the 43d and 46th sections of the act to submit to be examined and cross-examined on the case. Their Lordships alfirmed the decision of the Judge Ordinary, with costs. HEARNE V. HEARNE, This was a petition by the wife against the husband for divorce, for adultery with a woman of the name of Bustal —desertion and cruelty. Mrs. Margaret More, Princes-street, Westminster, was present at the marriage of the parties on the 3d August, 1854. Mr. Bethel was present in his shop in the City when the petitioner called on him for some money. He said he had none and struck her. The woman Bustal was in the kit chen at the time. The parties lived in Church-lane, and I saw the petitioner after she left him. He allowed her ss. per week for a short time. Henrietta Catline—l live in Barclay-street, St. Jonn's-lane. Knew her living in Judd -street since 1856. She supported I herself by her needle. Do not know anything about her habits, but believe she gets her living honestly and respectably. Richard Fisher, 8, Red Lion-street, Holborn. On 23d December, 1857, let his house No. 4, Holborn, to Mrs. Hearne and her husband —the respondent and co-respondent (Eustal) in this case. They left on 27th October, 1858, Was shown the petitioner, Mrs. Hearne—she is a different woman from the Mrs. Hearne that Mr. Hearne then lived with in his house. She had a child with her then. John Conan, salesman, Covent-garden market, knew the parties when they lired in Church-place. She 1' ft th a t place. She is a different person from the co- r. pondent. Their lordships, under the particular circa aroatanoes of the case, decre e d j u di c i al separation. JONES V. JONES. This was a petition by the wife P .gainst the hu s b an d f or divorce for adult er y with Miss,.Butcher, an d f or crue l ty. The respond en t was a surgo',n at North Shi e ld s, an d mar ried the p e titi oner at C l iirist Ch urc h th ere i n J une, 1847. The adultery w as co t Mrs. Stife, 'witted in J une 1849 . of the petitioner, proved the cruelty on several occa s i o 7as. In 1849 he knocked her down with a bootjack a"..id left her insensible on the floor. Arej liibald Mackerson was in the employment of the pe tit',oner's father, Mrs. Davies, brewer, North:Shields, and was employed along with Police -constable Tod, on 4th June, 1849, to watch _the respondent's house, and about two o'clock in the morning saw a light in his room, and went up a ladder and +looked in by the side of the windowblind and saw respondent and co-respondent in the same room, and saw him put his hand round her neck and kiss her ; ho then threw her down on the floor and had connection with her. Their lordships said both the cruelty and adultery were proved, and decreed divorce with costs. TURNER V. TURNER AND GILL. This was a petition by the husband against his wife for divorce, for adultery with the co •respondent. They were married in 1854. She said she could not live happily with the petitioner, and she went to live a few days afterwards with the co-respondent. The petitioner was examined, and said there was neither connivance nor condonation. She went to live, and is still living with the co - respondent. His circumstances did not enable him to bring the case before the court sooner. Mr. M'Can, boat-screw maker, City-road, works at the same trade wtth the petitioner. He accused the co-respon dent, GiP., with cohabiting with his wife, and he admitted it, Their lordships decreed divorce with costs. WITHERS V. WITHERS AND FAIRLEY. Lord Campbell proposed to hear this case with closed doors. Adjourned to chambers to hear the cause. CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. GOODE V. SIIALLI3ONE-THE LATE PANIC ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE. This was an action to recover £7 35., as balance of a bill of ezchange. Mr. Linklater appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Bu chanan for the defendant. It appeared that a portion of the goods for which the bill was given had been returned to plaintiff, and £2 3s. was struck out. Mr. Buchanan said that the balance (£5) was admitted by defendant, who only wanted time. Mr. Linklater was of opinion that no time should be allowed beyond a month, His Honour was determined Rot to allow any indulgence to a person giving a bill of exchange. The moment it be came due it should be paid. Mr. Buchanan—At the time this bill was given defendant was pretty well off, but he has somehow or another mixed himself up with Stock Exchange affairs, and has terribly suffered by the late panic. By it he is reduced to very indigent circumstances. His Honour thought that one month was quite enough upon a bill of exchange. Judgment accordingly. SLATER V. BENJAMIN.-SERVA NTGALISM,-CH APEL ON GUILDHALL. EXTRA ORDINARY CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY.—Terenc and James M‘L ean, two respectably-dressed men, of gen tlemanly exterior, were charged, upon a summons, with conspiring to defraud Mr. James Bigg of £250. Mr. Humphreys, jun., appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Wontner for the defendants. This was a bill of exchange matter, and it appeared, according to the statement of the plaintiff, that the defen dants called upon him with a bill of exchange for £250, and he discounted the same. When this bill became due on the 21st December, 1857, Terence M'Lean called and brought with him three bills, each for £B4 19s. 4d., due respectively at one, two, and three months, and said that the bill for £250 would not be honoured, the defendants having fallen into dif f iculties, but that they had brought these bills, and that, as collateral security, they would also hand to him a promissory note, due in six months, upon Mrs. Ann Southgate, their sister. Upon this plaintiff handed back the £250 bill, and ac cepted the new bills and the promissory note. The first bill became due on the 24th January, but on the 21st plaintiff received a Rote informing him that it would not be honoured, and enclosing a fresh one. This plaintiff de clined to receive, and in a few days received official notifi cation that defendants had petitioned the Court of Bank ruptcy. Plaintiff attended that court, and a trade assignee was chosen, In June, when the promissory note became due, it was dishonoured, and plaintiff gave instructions to his solicitor to sue Mrs. Southgate. In the following Sep tember he was called upon by James M‘Lean and told that Mrs. Southgate was unaware of the existence of the pro missory note; that she had signed it under the impression that it was a receipt ; and that if she was told anything about it she would cease to reside with them, and they would lose their means of living. The defendants then offered to give some more bills, promising that plaintiff, as a "friend in need," should not-lose-by the firm. Some further evidence having been given the case was adjourned. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. SYSTEMATIC ROBBERIES BY A JEWELLER'S SIIOPMAN. --A BAD CASE.--Samuel Fuller, a well-dressed young man, in the employ of Mr. Charles Packer, jeweller,'of 76 and 78, Regent-street, as junior shopman, was charged with stealing two bracelets and some marked money, the pro. perty of his employer. From the evidence of Mr. Charles Packer it apply ared that the prisoner had been in his employment abou'„ three weeks, during which time he had been continual :r, m i ss i ng money from , the till, and on Friday night som e marked shillings were put in the till. On Saturday, r,ne of them being missed, he requested him to show hir n his money and on the prisoner turning out his pocket 'no found ono of the marked shillings, and subsequently t. second, and on requesting to see the prisoner's box he found a bracelet of jet and gold, and in his bag a cameo rind jet bracelet, the prisoner having denied he had any of his property. There were other articles of jewellery fog ind (a locket, a signet and wedding ring.) Bernard Stanley, 341 A, said there was another case against the priser_ . er for robbing a previous employer of the other articles rzoduced. Miss Ms': y Jones, manager of the 'business of Mr. Charles Grego, ; J eweller, &c., of 16, Nor i ton-folgate, Bishopsgate, said 'le prisoner had formerly Preen in Mr. Grego's employ, i ls'.ving left about a month. 'file articles produced, consist ing of the locket and the t: wo rings, were the property of her employer, and worth, about £3. Mr. Packer said thori g h he had been extensively robbed and believed the prif , oner to be a confirmed thief, he wished the case dealt summarily with. Mr. Bingham, however, committed the prisoner for trial on both chariL es. WILFULLY DESTROYING A SIGN -BOARD.—Edward Thomas Aston, a respectable-looking man, was chargei with creating a disturbance and pulling down a large and very attractive show-board, the property of Mr. Joseph C. Ruttinger, manufacturer of tobacco and cigars, 3, Carlisle street, awl. Dean-street, Soho. Mr. Ruttinger said there being a disturbance outside of his house at four the previous morning, he got up, and on going down stairs found the prisoner with the police, and that he had tore down his show-board, which contained a list of his prices, &c., causing him great annoyance. The damage was about 6s. 6d. Mr. Bingham having ordered the defendant to pay the amount, Mr. Ruttinger said he wished to have it put in the poor box. The defendant said he had been drinking. Mr. Bingham said that being the case he should fine him the usual fine of 58. MR. BRIGHT, 211. P., AND MR. W. JAMES. The following additional correspondence lies taken place between Mr. Bright, M.P., and Mr. W. James : " Barrack-park, near Carlisle, May 16. " Sir,—Some person has sent me a copy of the Carlisle Examiner newspaper of Saturday last, the 14th inst., in which I notice a letter purporting to bear your signature, dated Rochdale, May 12th, commenting on some remarks made by me to my former constituents, the electors of East Cumber land, at the late county election held in the city of Carlisle. I think it is usual, and would certainly have been well in this case, if you had taken the trouble to inquire as the correctness of the report before submitting your comments upon it for publication. In one particular the report is not correct. There was a great deal of noise and confusion while I was speaking, and it is not to be wondered at that I failed to make myself clearly understood by all the reporters. I did not cer tainly intend to say, and I do not think I did say, as some of the reporters have attributed to me, that the sentiment I quoted as having fallen from you was made after Louis Napoleon had seized the reins of power (for I was not then in Parliament), but after he had attempted to do so. Your remark to which I alluded on the hustings was made upon an occasion when you, I, and other members of the House of Commons were standing near the doors of the House of Lords waiting for admission to that assembly. I cannot, after such a lapse of time, fix the precise date, but to the best of my recollection it was either at the opening or the close of the session of 1847. A conversation arose as to what the next change might be in France consequent upon the then growing un popularity of Louis Philippe, and whether the present Emperor of the Fronch was likely to make another attempt to seize the reins of power. I have a distinct recollection of your having, on that occasion, made use of the expression I quoted, or words to the like effect, and which you now appear so desirous to repudiate. In reply to the last observation in your letter to the editor I am fortunate in being able to say that I have a good memory, and as much regard for truth as any man. —I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, " WILLIAM JAMES. " John Bright, Esq., M.P., Rochdale." " Rochdale, May 18. " Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 16th. If the report of what you said was incorrect, I think it was your duty to correct it.. I contradicted it ; and through the channel where it was made public. With regard to your explanation, I have only to say that whereas the original statement was simply untrue, the explana tion is not only untrue, but absurd. After Louis Napoleon's seizure of power such a thing as you charge upon me might have been said, but not by me ; but before it, and when nobody suspected that Louis Philippe and his family would be driven from France such a thing is in the highest degree improbable and absurd. If you do not recol lect the time when you heard me say some thing which it ywoouulddo haveno t accurately remember, prudentlrenember, I in you, and more just to me, t o have . abstained from making ach ar charge against a i you had pudn nst mew youhirche t are unable to substantiate, y wh c i oz.fi confined yourself to that genral abuse of me which has ma rked the course of y our po li tical associates during nred the recent elections, I should not have thought it necessary to comment upon what you had said.— I a , m , " JOHN BRIGHT. James, Esq., Barrack-park, Carlisle." l ‘Barrack-park, near Carlisle, May 19. ins"taSnirtl y have to a c k now l e d ge th e rece pt o f your letter dated o y u es e te o i m •d p ay la , i i n n r o e f pl m y y to n m ot ine ha o v f i t n h g e I c 6 o t r h . rested the inaccuracy in my speech in the columns of the newspaper where it was made public. I presumed that if you had felt yourself aggrieved by what I was reported to have said you would naturally have written to me for an explanation ; I do not feel myself called upon to enter into a cor respondence with the editor of the Carlisle Exa miner. You repeat that my statement is untrue. I am quite prepared to give you credit for believing it to be so, as you have doubtless forgotten what took place as referred to in my last letter. lam as firmly confident of its truth, that you used words to the effect that any , man in any country had a right to place himself in a similar position to that which the French Emperor now occupies, if he could. I have not forgotten the remark, for, as I stated on the hustings, it made a very strong im pression on my mind at the time. I would not knowingly or wilfully be guilty of injustice to you or to any man. You may consider my explanation absurd ;it is nevertheless true.--I am, sir, your obedient servant, " W. JAMES. " John Bright, Esq., M.P." NORWICH ELECTION PETITION.--It is said that a petition is to be presented on the meeting of Parliament against the return of Lord Bury and Mr. Sch ne id er f or Norwich. The petition originates with the Conservatives, and it is stated that Mr. Slade, Q.C., has been specially re tained to conduct the case against the sitting members. It remains to be seen, however, whether the movement will lead to any definite result. SUNDAY EVENING. This was a summons to recover 10s. for one month's wages actually earned. Defendant is of the Jewish nation, and plaintiff is a stout young Irishwoman. Plaintiff averred that she had given defendant a fair and proper notice to leave—that she was a weekly servant, and had given a fortnight's notice. Defendant refused to pay her anything. She had to buy her own tea and sugar, and was charged for a saucer she had broken. She had also been accused of stealing some potatoes and eating them. Defendant said that he wished to have his Honour's opinion upon a certain point. Plaintiff asked permission to go to the Moorfields chapel on Sunday evening, and said she would be back in one hour. He (defendant) sat up for her till one o'clock on Monday morning, and then went to bed. Plaintiff did not return until ten o'clock on Moiday morning, and was then discharged. His Honour—lt is a very good ground of discharge. Plaintiff—l had given notice, and my notice was up. Miss Benjamin (defendant's sister) said that she had been summoned by plaintiff, and having attended, no one ap peared, and the case was struck out. Plaintiff positively swore that she was present on that occasion, and that she spoke to Miss Benjamin, and was told that she had summoned the wrong person, but this was as positively denied, and Miss Benjamin stated that she heard the cause called. His Honour was of opinion that it was very extraordinary. Miss Benjamin said she engaged plaintiff as a monthly servant at 10s. She had advanced plaintiff 2s. 6d. occa sionally. Plaintiff had given no notice, and on the day of her discharge had seven days to serve to make up her time. Plaintiff—That was the only way I could get away from the house, and they would not let me go out. His Honour—You must know that the law allows Mr. Benjamin to keep tho three half crowns you have earned in his pocket. It is misconduct for a servant to pretend to go to church, and then to leave her situation and not return till 10 o'clock on Monday morning. It will be a nonsuit, with no costs. e , ea A STRANGE STORY.—At the Bristol Bankruptcynr Court, on Monday, Samuel Lewis, s, ofß to ryn s ethin Car diff, corn factor, was exam by Mr. ne, befor e M r. Commissioner Hill, and made one of the most extraordinary statements ever heard in a court of bankruptcy. He de posed that, about eight weeks ago, being in Ca r diff , h e ac companied a girl to a brothel, and wa s th ere robbed of notes ounting to about £Bl5 ; that he did not discover his loss till the following day, when he was at Merthyr, and that he then gave no information to the police or any one else, fear ing that the matter would come to his wife's knowledge. About five weeks since he cam e t o Bristol, and there met another " young woman," with whom he went to the house, and was there robbed of between £550 and £6OO. He gave no information of the robbery, but went home and told his wife of the loss, but not of the circumstances under which he now alleged it had taken place. He stated further, that on another occasion he had been eased of £l5, and had several times lost smaller sums under similar circumstances. He also told a most impro bable story about the sale of £350 worth of goods to his son shortly before th e b an k ruptcy. At the conclus i on of t examination Mr. Stone applied for the committal of the bankrupt, a s th e story he had told was inconsistent, mere dible, and utte r l y i mpossible to be true. His Honour— "My duty is very simple. I have now attended for 39 years in criminal courts, but I never knew such a case as this, nor anythi ng l i ke i t. " The b an k ru pt was thee re moved ie custody. ~l' . SP 0.72 TING 21' 0 TES. A BATH GUIDE. The Derby horses are being sorted and the worthless ones are being rapidly disposed of. At Bath to-morrow and Wednesday several important knocking-out movements will be made and a com plete change will doubtless be effected in the ranks of the favourites. The signs of the decline and fall of many animals were perceptible in the City on Saturday, when Musjid was unsteady, Marionette shaky, and Merryman received his quietus. The "talent" in deed seems going for the Promised Land on whom he shall see Alfred Day. Some talk has been made about Actmon, who may yet prove the best of the Danebury lot. They who trust to the out siders have had their hopes materially strengthened by the demonstrations which have been made in favour of Ticket-of-Leave and Highwayman, and have been only slightly discouraged by the omi nous reports which have been circulated about Old Robert. Enfield is regarded by many persons as the coming horse ; albeit, the Epsom folk look upon his pretensions with suspicion. The recent rains have exercised a most beneficial effect upon the course, and they have pcirhaps not a little con tributed to turn the direction of the betting. The programme which has been issued from Bath is as attractive as a DrAry-lane Opera bill, and it will command a large assemblage of "professional" visitors, who will 1 - ..,e as anxious to watch the course of speculation on the Derby as they will be to witness the races. Schism and Binning.. ham ought to figure in the foremost places for the Lansdov;ne Trial Stakes, but the first men tioned has otb er engagements for which she may be reserve , !,,.. The most important and interesting race of Bien 'Aial Stakes, f or w hi c h Hi g h wayman, S cen t , the meeti ng w ill b e f or th e S even th S'..r Hercules, Trumpeter, Sheffield, Commodore, and Cynricus are likely to form the field. Both Volcano and Merryman are also entered, but the former is not likely to be brought out, and the latter has, it is said, met with an accident which will for some time confine him to his stable. According to the running in the Craven Meeting at Newmarket, Trumpter will not sound a retreat, although Highwayman may cause him some difficulty in striking the key -note of success. Lupullus will follow up his recent successes by winning the Eighth Biennial Stakes. As the forfeits for the Bath Handicap have not yet been declared, I must pass it over without further remark. For the Free Handicap my fancy points to Felicitas and Duchess of Kingston. Either Tame Deer or Olympias will, perhaps, win the County Members' Plate. " The Deer" will also be bad to beat for the Aristocratic Handicap. So litth betting has yet taken place on the Somersetshire Stakes that it would be absurd to enter into a long discussion of the chances. The question respecting the policy of removing the race to the second day will be settled, and I think satisfactorily. Birmingham and Sobersides are certainly weighed well, and one of them will be about winning. Should Birmingham go for the " buttons," he will take a deal of beating. Mr. T. Parr's representative or the Termagant colt will wiu the Western Stakes. A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS AT BATH. Lupullus, Market Gardener, The Gem, Blackmail, Rosa bel, Nosegay, Rattlebone, Ehue, Grillade, Arcanum, Whimsical, Tiara, Hobgoblin, Sobersides, Czarina, Alaric, and Catherine. AQUATICS. GREAT EIGHT-OARED RACE OF THE I?O\DONT ROWING CLUB.—On Saturday evening the members of the leviathan body the London Rowing Club manned four eight-oared boats for the second match this season, which was for silver prizes given by the club, the distance being from Putney to Hammersmith. The race was accompanied by the Jupiter (Captain Styles), and which contained nearly 200 gentle men in addition to a large number of fashionably-attired ladies, and several minor clubs were also in company. Mr. Francis Playford was the umpire. The result was as fol lows : White... Messrs. J. Jeffryes Messrs. E. Belfour „ C. Motion „ E. Brown ~ J. T. Cosser „ G . Dunnageo, J • G. G Noble )9 . J.

Blue and White took the lead, followed by Blue, White third to Searle's, when Blue became first, White second. All but Red steered outside a barge, and consequently Red improved their position. Blue and White were now rowing a desperate race, with Blue a few yards a-head, Blue and White being a length behind White, Red close up. At the point White passed Blue, and Red passed Blue and White. White rapidly drew away and won by three or four lengths. Both Blue and White and Red were drawing on to Blue, the two former being level. At the Crab Tree Blue and White again possed Red, and came over Blue, and kept up so terrific a race with them that at Hammersmith-bridge Blue were second, but barely clear of their opponents. Red were three lengths astern of Blue and White. 0 Messrs. C. Stahlsehtaidt „ G. White „ W. Shearman W.
