MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Very little activity has been apparent in the foreign and colonial produce markets during the last few days. Prices, however, with one or two exceptions, have been firm. Tea continues at full rates, and some of the finer qualities of black leaf Congou have slightly advanced. For sugar there has been a limited inquiry, and prices have slightly given way. Coffee, rice, and spices have been dealt in to a very limited extent, and fruit has been in active demand, chiefly in the finer qualities of cur rants and Valentia raisins. Figs are scarce, and higher rates are asked than have been known for mine years. Saltpetre continues steady, and tallow dull--the quotations for P.Y.C., on the spot and for forward delivery, showing a tendency to de cline. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market, yesterday, closed heavily, and prices were unaltered. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market only a limited busi ness was transacted, although values slightly im proved. A second dividend of 2s. 6d. in the pound has been announced by Messrs. Alexander Hinkey and CO., who failed during the crisis. The suspension of Messrs. Hicks and Gadsden, in the American trade, was announced yesterday. Their liabilities are estimated at about £50,000. They have issued the following circular : " 13, Great St. Helen's, Dec. 6. " Gentlemen, We deeply regret to inform you that, in consequence of the depreciation in the valu e of produce coming forward on our account, We have been compelled to suspend our payments. " Our books are in the hands of Messrs. Quilter, .Tay and Co., who will prepare a statement of car aralrs and submit the same to our creditors at the e a r li est possible moment. In the meantime we beg to request your forbearance, and are, gentle- Inen, your obedient servants, "HICKS AND GADSDEN." The dividend of the Bank of British North Aulerica, declared at the meetinn to-day, was at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The operations of the present year seem to have been much con tracted owing to the late crisis, but the provision made by the directors was quite adequate to meet all contingencies. It is intended to establish a branch at Vancouver's Island, so as to take advan tage of any opportunities that• may arise through the gold discovery in the Hudson's Bay territories, Which intention has been approved of by the Secre tary of State for the Colonies. No balance-sheet Was laid before the meeting, as it was not the anil ual assembly of the proprietors, when the Ile ,eftilts are to be presented duly audited, in cora- Pd ance with the deed of settlement. The general appearance of the money market is Pre cisely the same as for some time past. When ever a number of payments simultaneously fall due, 'whether on commercial account, or for joint-stock a P a ur Pneee, the demand is stimulated and the rates t - ; :va nne, This, however, must be expected, when te e i nquiry is previously most quiescent, and the ) 2 . . 11 : 18 are much below the average. The nveMent, however, is only temporary. A reac ienary tendency is already observable, although, fe w days ago, the settlement at the Stock Ex. e 'auge, and the commercial bills due on the 4th, F c hleed the feat ures we h ave j us t d escr ib e d 4 11 U -class bill s are negot i a bl e at 21 per cent. ; i n cl. although th e a ppli ca ti ons are state d to have ihereased at th e B an k, w h ere 3 per cent , i s charged, h s tances are mentioned of superior foreign paper laving been discounted within the last two days at n per cent. The English Stock Market has exhibited indi- Leations of weakness, a decline of 1 to 1 per c ent. f r r ilig at one time been reported. For the moment Z e quotations were under the influence of the settle lA, and th e c l os ing of some B u ll ac coun t s h as pro duced this adverse movement. Consols for 1 ;"eY receded to 97S 1, and for the January ec nunt 81 to 981,—the " contango" having in percao sed symptoms of recovery, have since been re brrted, but no permanent advance has been esta- A ish ed• The New Threes and the Reduced tonlluities have been 96a and 96 t; India Stock, special transfer, is quoted 228 ; and the De bentures are flat at 991.

His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judgment, said—The question in this case is whether the appointment made by Mrs. Web. a lady now deceased, is a valid appointment —a bona fide appointment—or made in defraud of the powers which she had a right to exercise under her husband's will. In 1822 they had £914 148. and £ll6 Three per Cent. Con sols, and dividends on stock in the bank. Mr. Webb assigned all these to her for her life for her use, with power of ap pointment, and to any children he might leave at his death. In 1847 her husband died. In June, 1852, the defendant married Sophia, one of the daughters. Mrs. Webb, on the 17th August, 1853, by deed of appointment, gave £3OO out of the Three per Cent. Consols for the separate use of this lady, Mrs. Sophia Olvin This was said to be for the benefit of Mrs. Webb, the appointor, who wanted to borrow money upon it and not for the benefit of Mrs. Olvin, the appointee. After considering the oral and documentary evidence produced, his Honour was of opinion that the appointment was a bona fide valid appointment in favour of the late Mrs. Sophia Oh-in. His Honour made the usual declaration sustaining the deed of appointment, ordered an account to be taken, and dismissed the bill, which asked to set - aside the deed, with costs. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Special Jury.) EVANS V. EVANS AND ROBINSON. The case for the petitioner closed shortly before two o'clock, when Mr. Edward James opened the defence. The first witness called was a lady named Ormsby,formerly living at Cheltenham. She stated that in 184.5 she was positive she never gave a ball at her house in Lansdowne-terrace. Her mother dying about the time stated was the reason that made her remember. This is the ball at which it has been sworn Mr. Robinson left in a fly in company with Miss Carrington. The case will not conclude before to-morrow. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbourn.) IN RE DAVIDSON AND GORDON. To-day was appointed for the adjourned sitting for con sideration of the certificate of these bankrupts, and several witnesses were called to speak to various transactions with the bankrupts. The first witness was Mr. Edwards, of Mincing-lane, colonial broker, who deposed to dealings with the bank rupts on the 17th July, 1851, with respect to some spelter warrants, when Gordon applied for an advance on some spelter warrants, and he agreed to adv ance £4,2so—the spelter being of 'the value of about £s,2oo—the next day, and it was proposed that the advance should be made to Cole Brothers, which was agreed to, and witness accepted Cole's drafts. Witness afterwards sent his clerk to Hargan's wharf, when it was ascertained that there was a stoppage on the spelter. Witness saw Gordon about two hours after at Cole's, and told him that there was some irregularity in the transaction, and unless it was settled he (witness) would take Gordon and Davidson to the Mansion-house. Gordon said that witness had known him several years, and he (witness) might depend that the matter should be set straight the next day, and witness took his word. Witness seldom saw Davidson. Witness's evidence chiefly went to show that there had been irregularities in the transaction, but that the amount advanced had been repaid, and that the transaction did not destroy the confidence between himself and Gordon, and that extensive transactions had taken place—he could not say to what amount, but varying in the year—£2B,ooo one year, £40,000 :perhaps another. He could not say but that the stoppage was for freight. He at the time considered that Gordon was only taking part in the transaction for the sake of dividing the commission, and witness gave him a cheque for the amount, £2l. Several other witnesses were examined, and the case is not likely to be terminated to-day. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN RE HOWES. The bankrupt was described as of the White Horse Inn, Uxbridge, and to-day came up for his certificate. The balance-sheet by Mr. March, Basinghall-street, shows—Debtor to creditor, unsecured, £3,153 lls. ; to ditto holding security, £2,287 ; profits, £682; surplus capital, July, 1856, £221. The assets were—good debts, £63 4s. ; doubtful, £34 108.; property, 1266; ditto in the hands of creditors, £3,000 ; losses, £1,352, chiefly on the sale of pro perty mortgaged, houses, 'busses, flys, &c. Mr. Pook, for the assignees, did not opposo„ and his Honour granted a certificate of the sedondatis. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) OMNIBUS NURSING-WET AND DRY NURSES-GRAY Y. MACNAMARA. This was a summons for damages sustained by plaintiff's phaeton from one of defendant's omnibuses. The evidence was, as usual, conflictory, and plaintiff's groom swore that defendant's driver was nursing a Saloon 'bus, and, in his anxiety to pass, he struck the wheel off plaintiff's phaeton. To controvert this, defendant called a witness to prove that he was going at a very moderate pace, and that he was not nursing any 'bus. He had nothing to do with that work. Plaintiff's Groom—Yes, you were. There was one of the Company's 'busses in front, then a Saloon, and then yours. His Honour--Yes; like a sandwich. Pray, which is the wet nurse ? I suppose the front one, (Roars of laughter.) Defendant's driver could assure his honour that he was not nursing, and that the accident had occurred through the plaintiff's groom's own fault. It was very common for people to say, "Oh, nursing, of course." His Honour said he must give plaintiff a verdict for 13s. 6d. He did not think defendant's driver was nursing at the time. _ CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT. (Before Sergeant Jones.) THE COURSE OF TRITE LOVE. NEVER DID AUX SMOOTH.— ANTLLL V. RUNT. Mr. Jay appeared for the defendants. Plaintiff is a tailor, and had until lately paid his addresses to defendant's daughter. The action was brought to re cover the value of some presents made from plaintiff to the young lady, and which defendant refused to return. Plain tiff thought, as the match and courting were broken off, his "lady love" had no right to the tokens of his "sincere affection." Mr. Jay said that plaintiff had no right to sue defendant, who was the mother of defendant's once sweetheart. Why not sue the young lady herself ? His Honour thought it was a pity such cases should be brought into court. If the match was broken off, surely defendant should have no wish to withhold articles that could only call to mind a great deal of unpleasantness. Mr. Jay—We will give tho articles if plaintiff will call for them. His Honour—Then I will adjourn the case till Thurs day morning to give time for effecting such purpose. Mr. Jay—Your Honour will give no costs. Plaintiff has had good living at our expense, at least a meal a day. • Plaintiff—l paid for them. His Honour—l will make no order for costs till Thurs day SPORTING INTELLIGENCB. TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAy. The Newmarket Coursing Meeting, which commences this day (Tuesday), attracted many of the principal turf speculators from London. The wretched state of the wea ther, coupled with this circumstance, caused the room to be very thinly attended. The investments were unimportant, and they were made at the quoted odds : DERBY. 33 i 0 1 agst Merryman (taken) 2000 to 30 agst Napoleon (taken) 1000 to 15 agst Far West (taken) 1000 to 15 agst Van Diemai (taken) 1000 to 10 agst Orleans (taken) CHESTER CUP. 1000 to 10 agst Barbarity (takon) THIS .

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1858, Mary Ann Barrow, Mrs. Gruneberg's servant, proved that during the absence of her master and mistress Higgins came to the house, and having asked to be allowed to write a note to Mr. Grune berg, went into the parlour, but immediately after wards called in eight men, 'and took away every article of furniture in the house. He showed her a paper before he took them ; said he should do the same if her master and mistress were at home, and that he would have broken windows and doors open in the house if she had not quietly admitted him. Mr. Goddard, builder, residing at Norwood, was called to prove that he received the £lOO bill from Mr. Gruneberg, and endorsed it to Mr. Dennis, and said that on Oct. 26 he was present when Davis, who represented himself to him as a surveyor, took the lead in the conversation. After the three bills had been given as described, Davis said he was going home for a cheque, and would meet them at the lawyers to pay the expenses. By Mr. Lewis—l have not received one shilling on account of the bills. Prisoners were then remanded till Tuesday week, and upon Mr. Solomons soliciting that they might be bailed, Mr. Paynter said that he would not take bail to any amount for Davis: but would accept two sureties in £2OO each, with 24 hours' notice, for Higgins, if he could procure it. Theywere both sent to gaol. THE SWINDLING CASE AT CHELSEA. Thomas Higgins, middle-aged, and of unpre possing appearance, attired in a semi-naval uni form, and George Davis, of low statute, with a profusion of whiskers, the former residing at No. 19, Gloucaster-grove, Brompton, and the latter at No. 2. Brompton-terrace ' Brompton, w ere b roug ht up on re-exami na ti on , at Westminster Police-court, yesterday, charged with conspiring to defraud Mr. Chas. Gruneberg, proprietor of Ash burnham nursery grounds, Chelsea, of the value of various bills of exchange and other documents. Mr. Lewis, jun., as before, conducted the prose cution, and Mr. Solomons, vice Mr. Ady, who had retired from the defence, appeared for the prisoners. Mr. Gruneberg's statement has been already de tailed at length. Previous to proceeding with the case Mr. Paynter questioned the prosecutor regarding the impression under which he entered on these negotiations with the prisoners, after which the solicitor for the de fence submitted him to a lengthened cross-exami nation. Mr. Paynter remarked, as none of the bills were at that time due, it could not be urged that they furnished sufficient notice for the bill Of sale. Mr. Solomons would not say his clients had acted in perfect consistency, with the law, but Highins had not made away with the furniture: He did not think the prisoners had conspired to defraud prosecutor. The £5O bill was taken to the Bedford Loan Society, and was there at that moment. His clients would restore the whole of the furniture. Mr. Gruneberg—Nothing on earth shall induce me to come to terms with such people. Mr. Lewis—No ; we. will come to no arrange ment. The learned gentleman added : The mo,- ment prosecutor signed the bill of sale for £3OO, they made off, and he never got a farthing, in addition to being cheated out of a £3O, £5O, and £9 bill. It was all very well to say that the bill of sale was given to secure the three bills of exchange. The prisoner got him to sign the £3OO bill of sale without reading it over, and he hover got a sixpence. No doubt they would be glad to give up the furniture now that they were in cus tody. Higgins was a pauper; he had not twopence in the world. They had also cheated the execution creditor. Prosecutor (by Mr. Solomons)—Two of the bills were given to Dennis, the other to Goddard. They might have put anythingbefore me ; I should have signed it ; I trusted so much to their honesty. By Mr. Lewis—The furniture is in Higginrs house. The whole of his own furniture is not worth £lO. One of these bills is just due. The other is not yet due. Higgins has not paid a farthing to wards the bills. lam liable - for them all. Mr. T. Dennis. timber merchant and builder, at Chelsea, said—ln the month of August last I was the holder of a bill of acceptance by . Mr. Gruneberg —it was endorsed to me in the name of Goddard, who had worked for Mr. Gruneberg. It was not paid at maturity, and proceedings were taken which ultimate,y ended in an execution being put into Mr. Gruneberg's house. After the execution had been in a fortnight the two prisoners came to my house on the 25th of Oct., and said they wanted to settle the matter, Higgins said he was going to get some money from Gruneberg. A meeting was then agreed upon at Gruneberg's house, when Hig gins proposed I should take a bill for part of the amount and cash down for the remainder. I said I would agree, if they paid all the cash and went with me to my solicitors to settle it. Imet them on the next day, and it was agreed that I was to take bills to the amount of £66 175., but that the costs were to be paid with cash down. Davis then drew up three bills for Higgins (the drawer), and Mr. Gruneberg having accepted them, Higgins endorsed them. Higgins said he had got some money for Gruneberg, but could not let him have it till the execution was out of his house. After the bills were drawn I said I would not settle it unless hey went to the lawyers and paid down the costs, as they had promised. Th e y p u t th e bills on the table and said I might as well take them to the lawyer's, where they would meet nse and pay the costs as required. I took the bills and went to the lawyer's, but they never came there and paid the costs, having got me to take the bills in the way I have described. They then took proceedings before a judge in consequence of my having the bills, and got the execution taken out of the house. Mr. Solomons observed that the judgment was to stand as security for payment, and Higgins was liable to be arrested. Mr. Lewis said it was a farce to talk about suing Higgins, who was not worth twopence. Mr. Gruneberg was the man who would have to pay. Witness resumed—ln about a week afterwards I sent a man to-fetch my Lcaffolding from Mr. Grune berg's, when Davis came to my house and gave me into custody for stealing it, and ho said he was a solicitor acting for Mr. Gruneberg. I was taken to the police station upon the charge. By Mr. Solomons—One of the bills is due ; it has not been paid by either the acceptor or endorser. Davis gave me into custody. I had lent the scaf folding to-Goddard to enable him to do the work. It was by the prosecutor and Davis that I was given into custody. I think it was Davis, though, who made the charge against me--they were both present, Davis being Mr. Gruneberg's legal adviser. Mr. Paynter observed that Mr. Gruneberg, in this transaction, was no doubt acti ng , as h e sup posed, under the advice of his solicitor. Mr. Lewis now proceeded to exhibit a charge against the prisoner Davis for defrauding Mr. Gruneberg of £8 upon a cheque. The testimony in support of this charge proved that on the Sun day next after the 29th of October Davis called at Mr. Gruneberg's, and stating that he had urgent need of £8 on the following morning before bank ing hours, induced Mr. Gruneberg to take his (Davis's) cheque for £8 to Mr. Cordy, of 346, King's-road, Chelsea, grocer, and obtain cash for it. When the cheque was presented .two or three days afterwards, it was found Davis had no effects. A long explanation of a most unsatisfactory de scription was here entered into, showing how the execution on the bill for £lOO, upon which the exe cution had been put in, was reduced to the amount for which the three bills were given. Mr. Lewis, in allusion to the proceedings before the judge upon these bills, repeated that it was part of this disgraceful fraud, and that Higgins and Davis, instead of paying the execution creditor the costs, had gone before the judge and sworn that the bills included the costs.

MICHAEL, Acting Registrar of Bank Returns. Intend Revenue Office, Nov. 20, 1858. THE GREAT EXPLO SION AT KU_R- _RACHEL'. The following is an extract of a letter from Ku r rachce of Oct. 22 : "Since Scinde became a British province, a greater calamity has not occurred within the pre cincts of Kurrachee, than that which happened on Tuesday last.• About 10 minutes to 2 p.m., the whole.of the population were startled by a fright ;fillixplosion, which seemed at first as if a broad . 'cue of 68 pounders, double-shotted, had been dis barged in the centre of the cantonment. The first shock had scarcely resounded through the atmos phere when it was succeeded by a second more loud, and, as it proved ultimately, more disastrous than the former one. Every house in camp shook to its foundation. In an instant, all eyes were directed to the spot whence this awful concussion proceeded, and dense volumes of dark smoke were perceived to envelope the space of ground occu pied by the arsenal and powder magazine. For a short time hundreds who witnessed these huge banks of clouds were kept in awful suspense as to the source whence they emanated. Imagining the - magazine had blown up, people ran in all directions from the supposed scene of danger. Europeans, - in the neighbourhood, and with their families far from the spot; a general exodus took place in the bazaar, where Parsecs, Mussulmen, and Hindoos might have been seen jostling each other in their anxiety to secure their treasure and to save their lives. To the honour of most of the European male inhabitants, be it said, they:rushed. with one accord, as it were, to the scene of this frightful accident—the arsenal. It was speedily discovered that the upper-storied building en the left hand side of the principal entrance had been blown down, and that the fire resulting from the explosion was rapidly extending to the whole of the southern side of the buildings. No sooner had the danger become known, then the alarm bugle sounded through the lines of the whole of the troops in the station, and ten minutes afterwards the European andnative regiments were on the ground to render assistance. " The whole of the 'erigade and station staff, together with the chief offiecTs of the civil service, including the commissioner ?aid his assistants, were promptly in attendance, an? with sonic excep tions exerted themselves manfully. " The explosion was caused by the ignition of some composition which Sub-Conductor M'Cabe was pouring into a rocket on the ground story of the building. It seems that in this room there was considerable quantity of combustible materials used in the construction of firework, and that when the composition ignited the sub-conductor, with great presence of mind, managed to extinguish it at the risk of his life, but immediately afterwards a similar accident occurred, and when he was shouting for water to some of the Lascars, the whole of the material took fire, and exploding with terrifie force, shattered the building to pieces. The upper story was chiefly filled with saltpetre and sulphur.: The adjoining More-room contained all the Enfield rifles and old musketry ammunition, which quickly ignit e d, and from the peculi ar manner in which it was packed, the explosion of it created great alarm, and caused much injury to those who were unfor tunately near it at the time. "Providentially, at the time of the explosion, there was littlg, or no wind, otherwise the conse quences would have been most disastrous. Fatigue parties, both of Europeans and Natives, were at the same time employeein carrying out the stores of a perishable nature they could lay their hands on ; and it was very satisfactory to witness the noble emulation between the men of the 14th N. 1., and the extra Battalion, and those of the depot, her Majesty's 46th and 51st Itlgiments, in the perfor mance of this work. " The conflagration lasted the whole of Tuesday night, throughout which constant explosions of am ' munition boxes occurred. As evening set in, when the extent of the danger was known, those who had. fled from the cantonment began to return, and crowds assembled in the neighbourhood of the arsenal to gaze on the burning mass of ruins. No illumina tion or artificial display of fireworks could excel in grandeur or brilliancy the spectacle after each suc cessive explosion. On Wednesday morning the fire was finally got under, and parties from different regiments set to work to clear away the debris. Although it was supposed at first that the wh o l e of the ammunition had . bee n l os t, in. the cobrse of the day thirty boxes were recovered. and we h ave no doubt a good many were found es_t erday. " A sad loss of lif e , as we ll as the y destruction of many thousand rupees worth of Governth en t pro perty, has been the melancholy result of this acci dent. Two Europeans, Sub-Conductor Laughland a n C t a l e n , d an and killeda Laboratory-man a o b n o r t a h t e o r ym spot.- Store who was dre a df u ll y mutilated,two natives, were Park Sergeant ingemdin awful misery until WednesdaySub-Conductorwhen he died. con tusion a o laceration rightr a'l h keinsleft miraculously l d escaped. ee. eb, Sergeant au Bradley has been severely wounded on the head and cheek, and. his hand t • a erribly scorched. Laboratory man Wells has also been seriously injured about the head, arms, and feet. Sergeant Marsh MILS Cut on the side of the head and otherwise bruised. Four natives, who were badly wounded, were con veyed to the General Hospital, where they now are ; another was taken to the Artillery Hospital along with the Europeans, and had his leg ampu tated, but he died yesterday evening. WHAT GIRLS SHOULD LEARN.—After the death of his wife, Sir Charles Napier removed to Caen, in Nor mandy, and did his best to perform the part of a mother to his girls. His aim was to make them religious, as the foundation of all excellence ; to teach them accounts, that they might learn the value of money ; work, that they might not waste their time if they were rich, nor be help less i they were poor ; cooking, that they might guard against the waste of servants, and to be able to do for them selves in the event of a revolution.—Sir Willman Napier's Life of his Brother. GRAND CENTRAL TERMINUS.—We are informed that local meetings are about to be held in Whitechapel, Borough. Clerkenwell, and Holborn, in support of accentral terminus, in consequence of the great loss of time in going to and, from the different suburban railways, and the great expense of carting good's to and from the Tarim Stations.
