The money market still exhibits a very easy and quiet appearance, owing to the increased supplies and the temporary diminution in the demand. At such intervals the moneyed firms seem willing to negotiate commercial bills at lower rates, and by charging or 2 per cent. less, they are enabled to attract a large proportion of business which otherwise would be taken to the Bank of England. Notwithstanding the prospect of new foreign loans, the enlarged exportation of silver to the East, and the gradual expansion of trade, an opinion is entertained in some quarters that the rate of discount will yet ree3de to 2 per cent. before any permanent re action is experienced in financial affairs. The market took a similar course after the crisis of 1847, and this probably has given rise to the expectation of a corresponding movement on the present occa sion. Everything will, of course, depend upon the requirements of trade, and the extent to which foreign loans may be encouraged by the investing public. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a Very moderate amount of business was transacted, and prices of all descriptions were unaltered. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and prices tended downwards. Most of the Joint Stock Banks have no* held their half -yearly meetings, and the results have proved more satisfactory than could have been anticipated. Many of the establishments have been only a short time in operation, yet they have returned dividends which ought to satisfy even the most sanguine shareholders, more especially as trade d uring the past year was conducted on a compara tively limited scale. The attention of the public will now be more particularly directed to the half yearly meetings of the various railway corn- Panics, and already numerous estimates are circulated of the probable returns of the Principal lines. There is reason to believe that in many instances these will be of a satisfactory character, for the traffic during the last six months has considerably improved, while great e conomy is presumed to have been exer cised in the management of the various u ndertakings. It is satisfactory to notice t hat the weekly e arni ngs o f th e p r i nc ip a l lines continue to improve, and, from the general expansion of trade, it is anticipated that the results of the current half-year will prove even more satis factory than those of the last six months.

EAST WORCESTERSHIRE ELECTION,--We under stand that Mr. Pakington, son of the First Lord of the Admiralty, has consented to stand for East Worcestershire on the Conservative interest. Denis Shea, charged with being a member of the phoenix Club, has been discharged from the gaol of Cork b y a special order from Dublin Castle. A French political offender, exiled to Cayenne, who escaped six months ago, was on Saturday arrested in a coffeehouse at Brussels, on the charge of bearing a false name. thterl a ny by the council o f militaryunder enext examination for direct commissions in education the presidency of Major-General Cannon, Major-General Port lock, and the other members of the council, takes place 01? the 7th proximo and four successive days, at Burlingtoll house, Piccadilly. SIR E. B. LITTON.--The mainspring of his career is ambition. He was early smitten with the passion to excel, the unconquerable desire to make a great name and position for himself in the world. But his ambition was not of a narrow, selfish kind —the mere lust of power and desire to rule ; it was the more generous ambition of the scholar and the statesman, the philosopher and the was res poet, as olv itsed wor to king throughout sufficiently proves. He become great, to distinguish himself amongst his fellows by wise words and noble works. But he early recognised the truth that greatness can only be obtained by breadth and force of intellect ; and exercise bein g the condition of strength, ho devoted himself with quenchless ardour to the cultivation and development of his mental powers. And the notion of culture he formed on leaving college, and which he has preserved faithfully in the main ever since, is a catholic and t rue one. In order to secur e d epth and harmony of mental power, he deter mined to devote himself to a life of blended thought and action, and thi s d e t erm i nat i on is the germ of his literary and political career. In one of his vacation rambles while at Cambridge first eamt the dream of authorship on t.,he banks of Windermere, and before leaving college the ' r eam became a reality. On the other hands, he distin gu himself as a speaker in the political club of the n and was elected president of that undergraduate parliament. He seems, however, to have been a better Writer than speaker, and literature at this time had greater charms for him than politics. Nevertheless he did not lose sight of the hope inspired by his ambition of distinguishing "°lself in Parliament, and eventually taking part in. the go'vernMent of the country.—Literary Gazette. r ~_ SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL.-MONEYPENNY V. MONEYPENNY. At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel in this cause, yesterday afternoon, the Lord Chancellor reserved judgment. APPEAL.--ESPIN V. PEMBERTON'. This is an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kindersley. The contention is whether the appellant, unregistered assignee of a lease and bill of sale of furniture, has an equitable incumbrance, on mortgage, on the respondent's legal right to the property purchased by him in ignorance of the appellant's unregistered equitable assignment and bill of sale. Mr. Glasse, Q.C., is now being lieard for the appellant. The appellant contends that it was the duty of the respond ent to make all due and necessary inquiry respecting the incumbrances upon the property in question before he pur chased it, and in particular to call for production of the title-deeds of the property. If he had done so he would have known of the appellant's incumbrance. But as he did not do so he is postponed to the appellant's equitable incumbrance and bill of sale over the property. It is pro bable the arguments will occupy the whole of this day. (Before the Lords Justices.) APPEAL.-JAILLON V. EVANS. This is an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls, dismissing the plaintiff's bill with costs. The contention is, whether the plaintiff is entitled to three•fourth parts, or shares, of the American Patent Candle Company, and whether the money obtained for the sale of such patent is the money of the company, or the money of the assignees or patentees, and in what propor tions—whether three-fourths or one-fourth. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., is now being heard — in reply for the appellant. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Preddergast, Q.C.) PHILLIPS V. BALTER.-FOREIGN BANKERS AND LOST NOTES. - IMPORTANT CASE. Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the plain tiff, and briefly set forth the facts as follows :—On the 6th April, 1857, plaintiff, a glazier, working in London, called upon defendant, foreign banker and money changer, of Leadenhall-street, and purchased a Polish note, value £2 10s., which he posted to his wife in Poland. Upon the 17th August, in the same year,- he called upon defendant and informed him that the note had never reached Mrs. Phillips. Defendant said that if plaintiff would pay the fee, ls. 6d., he would stop it, and if not recovered in twelve months, he would pay plaintiff for it. Up to the present time the note had not reached plaintiff's hands, neither had it been paid to Mrs. Phillips. On one occasion, plaintiff understood that the note had been paid. Plaintiff and a witness were called and deposed to these facts, and the promise to pay if the note was not forthcoming at the expiration of 12 months. For the defence, an agent, who appeared for defendant, contended that he should not be called upon to pay until the note was produced, as he might have to pay it twice. Mr. Beard said there had been a distinct promise to pay, and plaintiff had waited the prescribed time. His Honour thought defendant was liable, and gave plaintiff a verdict with costs. SUNDAY TRADING IN PETTICOAT-LANE: IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.-THE LORD'S DAY ACT AND THE JEWS.-" GRZIMESII V. PAINE. This was an action to recover the sum of £7ls. for a gold watch and chain sold and delivered to defendant. Mr. Perry (from Mr. Buchanan's) appeared for de- fendant. A great deal of evidence was given on both sides, and various statements were made, and it appears from them that plaintiff keeps a stall at and in a public-house on Sun day in Petticoat-lane. There it is usual to trade in this way, and purchasers have the entree on the free list of the house; if nothing is purchased, the visitor spends three pence in the house, and this kind of dealing is customary during all hours of the Lord's -day. On. the 14th of November, which was Sunday, defendant called upon the plaintiff during the hours of divine service for the purpose of paying an old debt. Plaintiff asked him if he did not require something else, and after much pressing/ defendant took a watch and chain, saying he had a cus tomer, and would return with the money in the course of the day. Mr. Perry objected to plaintiff's recovering this debt, if debt it could be called. By the Lord's Day Act plaintiff was clearly prohibited from recovering. His Honour did not like objections of this kind, but was bound by the law to take them. Plaintiff—But I am a Jew, and it is not my " Lord's Day." Ido not consider lam bound. His Honour—lt does not matter—it is the law of the land, and you are bound. If two Jews contract a debt between them, as debtor and creditor, on the Lord's Day of this land, the debt cannot be recovered at law ; but I don't like these objections. Mr. Perry—ln justice to the defendant, I must say that he has derived no benefit from the transaction, the person to whom he entrusted the watch having absconded. His Honour considered the objection to be fatal, and found for defendant. rOAN SOCIETIES AND CONTRISITTORS.-JONES V. THICKIL This was a singular action brought by a late shareholder in one of the " classes" of the British Mutual Loan Asso ciation, to recover interest on £7 retained by the class against his will. It appeared that it was the custom for the contributors to pay £1 per month for 50 months, and then the profits were divided. The class to which plaintiff contributed was rather unfortunate, and plaintiff gave notice that he desired to draw out his money. (By one of the rules of the class, the person who made the first application for his money was first entitled to have it returned to him.) To this application plaintiff was told by letter that his demand was unreasonable and unjust. However that might be, after considerable delay, and the proffer of his money, less 15 per cent. discount, in the present year plaintiff received his in full, and some statement was made as to the rate charged upon loans, and *plaintiff said that the solicitor who appeared for the society was a director and a borrower upon those very terms. The Solicitor said that plaintiff ought to be very glad to get his money in full, as some of the contributors had re ceived theirs minus 25 and 50 per cent. Plaintiff—Yes, and having had money to pay off other people, you now refuse me interest for money detained against my will. - His Honour—But these classes are generally very good things, are they not? Solicitor—Yes. But this We,s an unfortunate one. Plaintiff—l admit that I 'nave derived great benefit from some classes, and deriv e d profit from the amount charged as interest, as I co - Asider every man has a right to put his money out to tte best advantage, but I never kept another man's money from him when he required it. (Applause.) His Konour—You cannot recover the amount claimed, Mr. Jones. Plaintiff—l submit to your Honour's decision with plea sure, as I always do. I had another object when I came I here. JURIES ON SATURDAY. Mr. Beard made an appliCation for a case appointed for this day to be adjourned till Saturday. He stated that the case was originally appointed for one day last week, but it was adjourned till to-day. In the interim the parties had agreed to have a jury, and he (Mr. Beard) now ap pointed Saturday. His Honour said Saturday VMS a very bad day for a jury, and also for Mr. Beard himself, nevertheless, as he had the consent of the opposite party, he would grant the applica tion. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATROCIOUS CASE OP VITRIOL TIMOWING.—Mary Allen, a laundress, was charged with throwing a quantity of vitriol over the person of Mary Ann ..4.11en, of 57, York street, City-road. John Head, 89 E, said that at a quarter past three on the previous afternoon he was called to the King's Head pub lic-house, Crown-street, Soho, and was there informed by several persons that the prisoner had thrown a quantity of vitriol in the face of the prosecutrix, completely saturating the whole of the upper part of her dress. He then took her into custody, when she said she would go with him, and that she did it. The injured woman was holding her hands to her face, and in excruciating agony at the time. He got the assistance of another constable (Hill, 84 C), and sent the prisoner to the hospital, she having got a quantity on her own person, and then conveyed the injured woman to the Middlesex Hospital. ' The pint pot he now prodwed, and from which the prisoner had thrown the vitriol, still contained a small quantity, and a bottle also, found on the prisoner, had con tained some also. Tho whole of the upper portion of the injured woman's dress was burnt. Mr. Bingham having inquired whether the injured woman and the prisoner were related, was informed by Mr. Inspector Steer, of the C division, that the prisoner claimed to be the wife of the man the injured woman was living with. The following certificate was then handed in : "Middlesex Hospital, Jan. 26, IM9. " This is to certify that Mary Ann Allen has been brought to this hospital, and remains in an unfit state to be removed. " Wm. H. Rix, House Surgeon." The injured woman, it is understood, has lost the sight of one of her eyes. The prisoner, who said she meant it for the man, and not for the woman, was then remanded for a week. THAMES. STEALING AND SWALLOWING MONEY.—Rebecca Crack nell, a woman of the town, who displayed a good deal of levity while in the dock, was brought before Mr. Corrie, charged with stealing £4los. in gold, Bs. 6d. in silver, and a knife, from the person of Thomas Gleed, a mechanic, re residing at " Water-cress -cottage," Manchester-road, Isle of Dogs, Poplar. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor had been paying a visit to same friends in Wapping last night, and finished his holiday in a publichouse, where he met the prisoner, who asked him to treat her, and he did so. On leav ing the publiehouse the prisoner followed the prosecutor for half-an-hour. He frequently endeavoured to get rid of the prisoner, but all his efforts were in vain. She clung to him for some time until they reached the \Vestferry-road, Pop lar, when she suddenly. left himand run awair. He immediately missed his money and ran after the prisoner. Upon over taking her she made a determined resistance, and " showed fight" like a man. the prosecutor called out police, and Summers, police constable, No. 372 K, soon made his ap pearance, on which she spit from her•mouth a half sove reign and said, "That is all I have belonging to him." The policeman stuck herunderthe chin while she was attempt ing to swallow some money, and she disgorged from her moutt, Ss. 6d. in silver, and said "That is all I have got." She was taken to the station-house and searched IV a female, who found upon her a sovereign and a knife which the prosecutor identified as his property. The female searcher said, " There are three sovereigns still missing, what have you done with them ?" The prisoner said, " The rest of the money will be found—l:have swal lowed it." The prisoner, in defence, said the half-sovereign and the silver belonged to her ; it was her own money ; the sove reign was given to her by the prosecutor. Gleed said he gave the prisoner no money, and he did not court her company. The prisoner, declaring her innor;cnce and refusing- to plead guilty, was committed for trim, TRADE OF TAS3I/INIA AND NEW ZEALAND.

Captain Goldsmith, C. 8., the superintendent of Chatham dockyard, has received directions from the Admiralty, authorising him to inform the heads of the departments and officers connected with the several establishments of the dockyard that under no circumstances will they be permitted to be in any way connected with any political patronage committee that might be in existence in the neigh- bourhood, and that dismissal from her Majesty's service would follow any infrin crment of their Lordships' order. The various officers have also received orders , not to interfer e i n t h e sl i ghtest degree with the votes of any of the artisans or workmen. Her Majesty's ship Centurion, 80, encountered a frightful storm of thunder and lightning in October last near Corfu. The ship, on the 29th, at 130 p.m., was taken all aback in a squall from north west, with thunder, lightning, and rain. A heavy flash of lightning struck the ship and passed off by the conductors, which are reported to have had the paint stripped off in several places below. The branch under the bowsprit appeared as if it had been in the fire. No damage ensued. The flash was so close that it seemed as if a broadside had been discharged. A large waterspout appeared as if coining towards the ship. It was dispersed by one of the forecastle guns. Such was the force of the electrical action on the state of the air at the time the discharge struck the ship that a marine stand ing on the forcastle was for a time stunned by the shock, but was not otherwise hurt. The lightning conductors now common in the Royal Navy are said to have saved the ship's masts. The new screw steam-ship Doris, 32, which made an experimental trip outside Plymouth Sound on Monday, in charge of Captain Risk, of the Devon port Steam Reserve, and of Mr. Dinnen, inspector afloat of steam machinery, is fitted with trunk engines by Messrs. Penn, of 800-hors'e power. She attained an average speed of 11.4 knots, under a pressure of 201 b., with 52 revolutions. Consider ing the freshness of the breeze and the degree of swell on the result of the trial was satisfactory. It is expected that she will go out again. The Doris ha . on board all her heavy arma men t, v i z . , on th e min deck, 2010-inch Paixhan guns, usually known as 84-pounders, and on the ',upper deck 10 58 cwt. 32-pounders ; she will also carry two revolving solid-shot 18. inch guns, weighing 95 cwt. each. The ship is all ataut, and ready for the pendant. The steam-vessel Locust, Lieut.-Commander J. B. Field, now having damage repaired in the Basin at Sheerness, is ordered to complete repairs with all possible despatch, and proceed to Hull to take the station of the Sandfly, Lieut. Moore, during her repairs of damage, also by collision. A letter dated 24th Nov. - last at the Mauritius, from her Majesty's sloop Persia, says—" Thecap tain's steward died on 31st January last when off Rio. Samuel Martin and Evans were invalided home from Rio. Some merchant seamen have been shipped since we have been out. We left the Cape on the 18th March for the Mozambique, and have only been favoured with one mail since. The Persian got on shore just off the Island of Mazotte, and the Admiral has scat her here to get her damage repaired. When completed she is to go to the !Cape, where all letters for the ship remain waiting our arrival there. She is a very comfortable ship ; Captain Chad and all the officers are first rate officers ; no laxity of discipline, every man turns to with cheerfulness, and the ship's duty goes on • admirably. The Admiral came up to the Mozambique in the Boscawen. He had' no boat swain. There are only three officers now in the gun•room viz., Kerr, Shott, and Linquest. Nothing has been done in regard of captures up to this date. Orders were received by telegraph on Wednesday at Devonport to commission the screw steam sloop Gannet, 11, forthwith. The troop ship Ramilies, 10 ail-vs from London for Madras, put into Plymouth Sound windbouud on Tuesday evening. Mr. William &riven and Mr. William C. E. Parker were yesterday appointed master's assistants to the Boscawen. THE ARMY.

The Detroit Free Pres — s, pro-slavery organ, thus describes what it calls this terrible and unheard of calamity :—" An elopeMent and marriage took place on Saturday which was a little out of the usual line, sufficiently so, we imagine, to satisfy the most craving appetite for the novel and disgusting, both of which we have—the latter in sufficient quantity to turn any white stomach in existence. A young girl named Sarah Judson, whose father lives on a fine property a mile or t wo from Pontiac, eloped on Saturday and came to Detroit. The partner of her flight was a black man, who has been in the employment of her father for some time in the capacity of farm hand. The first' intimation that the father had of the intention of the parties was conveyed by the fact of their flight. They immediately crossed over to Windsor, upon reach ing this city, fully sensible that they could never accomplish their unnatural designs on this side, as no official or clergyman could have been found who would have so far transgressed the bounds of decency m p a e n rs , on to m s a a s y as to unite the couple, the appearance of the girl found n o nothing n i g n being such as would forbid the union in the mind sensible man, ocfatnhaedlaawwhino performed the ceremony, however, and the two were made one. They are now in Windsor, en tolfle any- case. s en joying the sweets of the honeymoon. The father of the girl is aredl-t abolitionist, of the whole hog or nothing, nigger as good as anybody [style. For a long series of years he has disgusted his neighbours with his ranting on abolition and amal gamation, of which he was disposed to abate not a jot or a tittle from its uttnostlimit. In order that he mightnot be said to preach what he did not practise he made it a point to treat the numerous coloured persons whom he from time to time em ployed as on a par with his own family. These doctrines he inculcated upon the understandings of his children, and he has the supreme satisfaction of witnessing, as the practical result of his teachings, his own daughter clasped in the embrace of a 'greasy nigger, willing and ready, and even enthu siastically reciprocal, in the sweet dalliance with which lovers delight to celebrate their unions. The brother of the girl came on the next day, arriving here on Sunday, and ascertaining their where abouts, went to her and implored her to return.__ She was contented, however, loved her ebony half, was happy in his arms, and couldn't think of s going rr back. The emotions of a brother at such a men can better be imagined than described.. Some tha single would have blotted out their disgraceti wl no sin blow, but he had been taught t o l u a n,, sister should against God or man that his o. y ro and at the same repose in the embrace of a ne„ and face say she was time calmly look him in the con tented. He went h ome as he had come, alone. The girl is about eighteen years old. The family are said to have occupied a position in society which was first class, and the blow is. consequently, a terrible one. The father is rich and thOgirl an heiress, which makes it ver y nice for the 'African of her choice. The matter has caused an intense excitement in the neighbourhood where the parties are well known, the girl havin ,, b een b o rn an d ~ brought up where her parents reside. It is difficult to imagine any train of • circumstances by which a young and intelligent girl could be brought to a connexion so t repugn.an to all the senses ; yet the fact exists. Amore complete retribution for the crime of fanati c i sm we never h ear d o f . The least we can - wish is that the father, undoubtedly well cured of his beliefs by this time, may be able to save his young daughter from the terrible future which now opens to her." We are glad to learn that the South-Eastern Railway have offered to the widow of the Rev. T .Wood, Wesleyan minister, who died from injuries received in the shocking accident at Chillaam, last summer, the sum of £1.500 as compensation. Mr. Wood left a widow and eight children. THE LOSS OF THE CZAR STEAMSHIP. Additional information has been received at Lloyd's relative to the melancholy loss of the Czar screw steamship, which foundered off the Lizardon the afternoon of the 23d, after striking on the Vogue Rocks,—Captain Jackson, the commander, his wife, a passenger, and several of the crew, in all 14, perishing with the ship. The Czar was a powerful iron-built vessel, launched at Hull last year, and, according to Lloyd's register, was classed A 1 for nine years. She was constructed under special survey, of 937 tons burden worked by engines of 110 horse power, and was the property of Messrs. Samuelson, of Hull. She was chartered for the con veyance of Government stores, principally shot and shell, to Malta. She took in her cargo at the Arsenal at Woolwich, and in the early part of last week left the river. Captain Jackson, the commander, was accompanied by his wife, his son, and nephew. The run down Channel appeared to have been favourable until reaching near the Land's•end, on Saturday, when a heavy gale from the southwest was encountered. and in endeavour- ing to weather it the steamer's engines became partially disabled, in consequence of the breaking of the steam-pipe. Captain Jackson, finding it im possible to proceed, attempted to put back and run into Falmouth and. repair the defect. The gale, however, continuing with increased force rendered the progress of the vessel most difficult, and, be coming, it is supposed, unmanageable, she, about three o'clock in the afternoon of the 23d, drove upon the Vogue Rock, near the Lizard. The moment the ship touched the reef she was submerged by a fearful sea, and the loss of all on board for a time seemed inevitable. The striking of the vessel having been seen from the coastguard station at Cadgwith, prompt steps were taken by the boatmen for the rescue of those on board. A galley was quickly manned, and as rapidly rowed off to the steamer. Nothing could exceed the gallantry of the boatmen, and they succeeded in saving six of the crew. The lifeboat of the steamer had by some providential circumstance been got clear, and was the means of preserving eleven others. Captain Jackson, perceiving the near approach of the de struction of the ship, was about to save his wife and son, when the vessel broke up, and immediately wont down in the deep water by the side of the rock, carrying with her all who were then on board: The survivors were brought ashore at the village of Lizard, and received every kindness and attention from the inhabitants. The following are the names of those who perished. :—Capt. R. Jackson, his wife, and son ; Mr. G. Wood, passenger ; Mr. R. Brown, s i‘ e i c a o t iLd e w offi n c a e l r l ; G C eo h r a cr r e le C Jefferson, effe r r o s p o l n eT a , n Samuel a Jamesli ue l Lavett, lvad r, engineers ; Thomas roster, Robert Young, Robert Burton, and James Greene, seamen. Those saved were—Mr. William Tucker, chief officer ; Master Whitesale, captain's nephew ; Mr. J. Nel son, chief engineer ; Henry Jackson, Nathaniel Cracknell, David Cattle, and John Collier, en gineers ; George Penn, carpenter ; John Knight, Joseph Buck, Jonathan Thickett; James King, John Davies, Henry Garthorp, James Mulvey, John Nixtons, John Smith, and Louis Bran, sea men. The hands were shipped in Hull and Lon don. The loss of the ship and cargo will involve a large amount. She was insured. In consequence of the overthrow of the Zulonga Government at Mexico the speedy re-establishment of com munication between the capital and Vera Cruz may be anti cipated. Largo supplies of silver, known to have been re tarded by the dangerous state of the roads, will, therefore, probably, soon be sent forward. The deficiency in the re ceipts last year from the prevalent anarchy is estimated to have amounted to nearly £2,000,000. • The Berlin correspondent of the Nord, writing on She Sunday, says :—" Her Roy al Highness, the PF derick William drove out ag ain to -day in her carriage. appears marvellously well. Her face looks fresh and ruddy. A good story is told of the Regent relative to the avedntici pated event. The colonel of Artillery who recei thO Prince's orders as to the number of salvos to be fired on the occasion appeared to hesitate before he withdrew. Well,' said the Regent, ' you seem to have something on your mind.' Why—yes —your Royal Highness. I know how many salvos arc to be fixed for &Prince, and how many for a Princess ; but if her Royal Highness should give birth to a Prince and Princess ?" Then,' replied the Regent, we will remain true to our motto — Sawn Cuique.' " all all 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 8.13 A. Share' Share' 100 10 Stock Stock, I pl Y i i
