21ION El :LIRA - ET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocit. The Bank of England Return, completed to the 18th inst., is of a rather favourable character. Not. Withstanding the demand for gold for shipment to the Continent, there has been a slight augmentation in the bullion, and the reserve of notes has been added to by about half a million sterling. In the "other securities" there is a diminution, consequent upon the less active demand for discount accommo dation. The public deposits, owing to the collection of the revenue, show a large increase, and in the Private deposits there is also a slight augmentation. 1 11 the active circulation there has been a large falling off, amounting to nearly half a million. The other items of the balance sheet present little varia tion of importance. Th , ey will be seen in the sub- Joined table : Active Circulation Decrease .. Increase ..

It is evident that the tendency of the quotations is more favour able, as the supplies are abundant and the employ- Inent found for them is very circumscribed. The rates out of doors are fully 1 per cent. under the and very little discount business is now , tr ansacted at the Bank. The bullion movement, uowever, still continues unfavourable, withdrawals Emil that establishment having been resumed, although on a very limited scale. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon exhibited a slight decline in the rate on Ham burg, The bar silver brought by the last West India Packet has been disposed of at 621 d. per oz., s howin g no alteration from the price realised for the supplies by the preceding steamer.

Stock is now selling at 50 or 60, when withi n the last three months it has been 97, and within the last four years, 107 ? The Debt of Turkey is the smallest in Europe ; Turkey is most punctual and honourable in its en gagements, and a proportion of the Bonds on Pledged year paid of at par. The Egyptian tribute, viedged as additional security, is regularly sent direct to this country; half of this tribute, it is aai d , is paid in dues by an English Packet Com 4. , 41 71 and actually retained here. . unless th ere i s some ex pl a nation beyond what apparent, three months hence the public will s,,earcely believe that in the month of May Turkish Per Cent.

A letter from Naples, of the 15th, says :—" Since the beginning of the week the King's illness has presented more alarming symptoms, which the official journal has not attempted to conceal; the bulletins are every day more and more unfavourable. In the palace, at Caserta, the greatest anxiety prevails, for his Majesty's decease is again thought to be near at hand. The symptoms which have recently appeared leave no hope of amendment, as the royal patient is evidently sinking fast." dente. TITT tONI)ON; gATITEDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1859. COURT OF DIVORCE. MANSION-HOUSE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THIS DAY.) (Before Lord Campbell, Lord Chief' Baron Pollock, and Sir Cresswell Cresswell.) V. 13RAHA3I AND mum,. This was a petition by the husband for divorce against his wife, for adultery. Dr. Waddilove appeared for the petitioner. It appeared that the litigant parties were married in August, 1818. Two children were born of the marriage. They did not live happily together, and she went to live with her mother in 1851. In January, 1852, the adultery was committed with the co-respondent, a captain in the royal navy, and she is still living with him as his mistress. On the 10th of June, 1858, she was living at 16, Portland terrace, St. John's-wood. Susan Vauxon was called and examined as a witness— She said she made dresses for Mrs. Braham. Saw her living with Miller, and informed Mr. Braham of it. He had been informed previously, but did not show any symptoms of affliction on the subject. He said he would have a divorce. Hannah Greatrix, domestic servant, lived at 16, Portland-terrace, St. John's-wood. The respondent and co-respondent passed as husband and wife, under the name of Mr.; and Mrs. Miller. IN° correspondence was kept up between the petitioner and respondents. She was there on the 20th December, 1857 ; as their servant. They occupied the same bed together. She did not know when that intercourse began. This was the petitioner's case. Their Lordships then consulted together upon the evi Lord Campbell said the court were of opinion that the petitioner should attend and be examined. The petitioner was then sworn and examined. He was married to the respondent in 1848. He was a merchant My wife went out one evening, and she remained out very• late. I asked her where she had been, and she said she was at Miss Barnes', and she told me she had been there, and when I came back we quarrelled and she went to live with her mother. I saw her walking in the streets with gentlemen. I heard she was living with the co-respondent, Miller. Her brother told me she was living with some gentleman in St. John's-wood. I went to the house and asked the name of the gentleman, and saw her at the window. I asked a noble lord (Brougham) the expense of an Act of Parliament for a divorce. I took no further steps of procedure against her. I resolved to have a divorce as soon as possible. On the 18th February, 1858, I took proceedings. Lord Campbell - said, upon this evidence, the petitioner was entitled to a decree of divorce. Their lordships declined to make any order as to costs, reserving to the petitioner his right of action for damages. OLIVER V. OLIVER. This was a petition by the wife for divorce against the husband for adultery with a person of the name of Jane Carman. They were married on the 22d of January, 1850, and went to live at Croydon. He was a hairdresser. He afterwards lived with Jane Carman, at Chelsea. Mary Ann Aitkinson, mother of the petitioner, proved the marriage and separation about a fortnight afterwards. He said he had married her out of revenge to another party, but did not want to live with her. She wanted her to get married to another as soon as possible. He made her no allowance. She took her home. He left Croydon in March. She found him living at Knightsbridge with a person named Edgecombe. He was summoned before the police magistrate at Lambeth, and was sent for one month to prison for desertion. Her daughter was confined in the workhouse and had a child in October. She lived with me till April. I saw him two months after and Carman with him. He paid her a small allowance for the child, which is now dead. Her daughter went to service, and the parish officers said they could do nothing for her unless she went into the workhouse. He has dote nothing for her these six years. E. Edgecombe, hair. dresser said, that in 1850 the respon dent came to his employment at Knightsbridge. He lived as a married man two or three cottages off. He was a tenant of his. He called her his wife. It was not the pe titioner. There was a child with him. He went to live at Chelsea. He was imprisoned a month for deser tion. The same woman is still living with him. Mrs. Hannah Phips, Knightsbridge, said that the same woman that lived with him in 1850 was still living with him. Lord Campbell said—On the evidence produced the peti tioner was clearly entitled to a decree of di nzce against the husband (respondent). It appeared he had no intention to live with her, and the adultery was clearly proved. Divorce decreed, HURST V. HURT AND PARKER. This was a petition by the husband against the wife for divorce, for adultery with the co-respondent, William Parker. They were married the 27th September, 1847. Mrs. Jane Hurst proved the marriage. Harriet Irving saw the respondent, Mrs. Irving, in bed with the co-respon dent, William Parker, during the day in her sister's house. It was not a joke, she saw it was in earnest. She left her husband after that. In 1855 they were living in the same house, her sister's, and they were then living together. They went to live in Thames-street. She was still living with him. She lived also with one Clint. She saw the petitioner, and had several communications on the subject of his wife's conduct. Mary Ann Steven accompanied last witness to Mrs. Hurst's house, Liquorpond-street, in 1854, and saw the re spondent and co-respondent living together. In 1855 she saw them in bed together, undressed, between two and three o'clock in the afternoon. She got her living by sewing and dressmaking. Lord Campbell said the marriage and adultery had been clearly proved, and the petitioner was entitled to a decree of dissolution of the marriage. Divorce decreed. BRUNEL V. BRUNEL. This was a petition by the wife for divorce against the husband, for cruelty and adultery. The respondent was a photographic artist. The petitioner was a widow, and married the respondent on the 4th Feb., 1847. They separated three days after the marriage. Mrs. Eliza Parkman—Was acquainted with the parties. Saw him spit at her, and had a knife in his hand ; used violent language towards her, and said he would kill her, and attempted to strike her. He remained in the house eight or nine days, and left before she left, and she saw no more of him. Weybridge, a policeman—l know the litigant parties. Knocked at the door one night ; went in and saw a woman of the name of Harriet Pinnock drunk in bed. I heard her voice. I saw Brunel next day, and he asked me if I saw any person about the glass-house, as some person came in and struck him. I saw him in 1858, and saw him with her at Westbrae. On the sth of October she had breakfast with him. I toot him out of her bed there between eight and nine o'clock in the evening. There was a crowd in the pub lic streets, and they never came back again. Lord Campbell said the cruelty and adultery were clearly proved, and the petitioner was entitled to a decree of divorce. Divorce decreed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) DARING BURGLARY IN THE ClTY.—Thomas and Eliza beth Barrett, two dirty-looking persons, described as man and wife, were charged as follows : Police •constable 436 said he was on duty this morning at the back of the Post-office and heard the breaking of glass in Gutter-lane. He shouted out, and saw the male prisoner running. He stopped him, and saw the woman on the opposite side of the road. Witness saw that the man had a parcel, and asked him where he got it from, and received for answer that a boy who had run away gave it to him. He said the female prisoner was his sister. The female made no attempt to escape. Upon examining the spot wit ness found a pane of glass broken over the shutter of No. 5, Gutter-lane. Witness alarmed the inhabitants, who were already on the alert. Witness had made inquiries about the prisoners, and ascertained that they were married, and that the male prisoner got his living as a costermonger. At the station-house the prisoners said that a man had given them the parcel. Henry Seymour said he was clerk to Messrs. W. and R. Morley, of Fetter-lane. He slept on the premises. The shutters of the warehouse do not completely cover the glass, and a person, by breaking the exposed glass, could reach some of the goods. At half-past eleven witness had been in bed about ten minutes, and was aroused by the crashing of glass, and upon opening the window was requested by the officer, who was beneath with the prisoners, to come down. The parcel was then in possession of the officer, and was worth £2. _ _ Tho male prisoner said the female was not his wife, nor had he been living with her as such. Mr. Goodman said the case must go to another court. After the usual caution the prisoners were committed for trial. Knight (City detective) said another robbery of this kind took place last evening. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A DETECTIVE.- Charles Bateman, alias William Cohen, a thickset determined fellow, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bingham, charged with being concerned with a man named Lee (committed) in stealing a quantity of dresses, &c., the property of Miss Harriet Elliott, of Hampstead-street, Fitzroy-square, and also with committing a murderous assault on Henry Joy, 338 A, while in the execution of his duty. From the evidence of Miss Elliott it appeared that, on the morning of Wednesday last, she was awoke by hearing a noise in the next room to that in which she was in bed, as of the rustling of a silk dress, and on asking who was that, the prisoner Lee said it was all right, and immediately bolted out of the room and made his escape ; and after wards, on searching her apartments, she missed property, consisting of dresses and a desk, of the value of £3O. Henry Hone, a young man working in London-street, Tot tenham - court-road, deposed to seeing the prisoners Lee and Bateman loitering about No. 6, Hampstead-street, and seeing them go into the house, and some time after seeing them pass the house where he worked, Lee carrying a bundle, and Bateman a desk, he pursued them, and assisted a constable in taking Lee into custody. Mr. Bingham said his conduct was very praiseworthy, and did him great credit: Henry Joy, 338 A, a detective (who seemed in a state of FOREIGN RAILWAYS. stock 50 Stock Stock Stock Antwerp & Rotterdam Ardennes BalL&S.Fran.,Lim.7p.c.

He said it was a mistake ; that he had done nothing for 18 months, having given it up. Ile then went to the window, which he opened, and he (Joy), thinking he was about to escape, said he would have none of that, upon which ho turned round and struck him a violent blow on the mouth. He (Joy) then took out his handcuffs, upon -which the prisoner struck him several blows about the face, and afterwards got hold of a heavy bottle, like a soda water bottle, and struck him seve ral blows about the head with it, nearly stunning him, and inflicting a very severe wound, blacking his eyo, and covered his'i - face with bruises. He then butted him in the stomach, causing him severe internal iAjary, so that he could scarcely walk. Mr. Bingham, seeing the officer suffering greatly, ordered him to be seated, and in committing the prisoner for trial for the robberY, and for wounding the officer, with intent to do grievous bodily harm, said it was not the first time he had been injured in the public service, and he had no doubt his conduct would be properly noticed.

The remains of Joseph Sturge - were borne to their last resting place, the graveyard of the Friends Meeting.hoose in this town, at half. past 10 o'clock this morning. The simplicity of Quaker fashions forbade an opportunity of a public funeral. The inhabitants of the town in which Joseph Sturge hadfor nearly forty years resided were anxious that his funeral should be a•public one, without dis Play, but simply expressive of affectionate regard. The mayor (Sir John Ratcliff ) waited upon the next brother of the deceased, Mr. Charles Sturge, and consulted him on the subject; but the family were opposed to ostentation of any kind. In these cir cumstances nothing was left but for the inhabitants to show their respect in their own way, and that took so natural and simple, yet spontaneous and' genuine a form, that there was no mistaking its intention, or the motives which prompted it; in fact, it has been truly said that such a funeral was never seen in Birmingham. The mourning procession left Mr. Sturge's late residence at a quarter-past 10 o'clock, the distance to the place of interment being a mile and a half; it was followed by nearly forty carriages, containing the relatives and friends of the deceased, and, after it left the gates, it was headed by a procession of more than three thousand gentlemen, three abreast —men of all ranks, creeds, and shades of distinct ion in the town. This procession was headed by the mayor and by the Rev. Dr. Miller, rector of St. Martin's, the mother church of the town. In the midst of , a heavy rain, the shops being cl ose d, t h e procession m ove d s l ow ly to the Friends' Meeting. house. Before it reached there more than twenty other carriages had joined the mournful cavalcade. The burial ground was thronged by members of the Society of Friends from all parts of the country. Mr. Bright, M.P., was present at the funeral. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The weekly moeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday in the Court of Com mon Pleas, Guildhall ; Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement showed a total balance of X 75,432 Bs. 10d. OPENING OF TENDERS FOR THE CONTRACT FOR THE SOUTHERN HIGH LEVEL MAIN DRAINAGE. The board proceeded to open tenders for the con tract for the Southern High Level Sewer, the engineer's estimate for which was £212,457. This work consists of a main line and a branch. The main line will be five miles eighty feet, commencing at Deptford Creek, and terminating near the Plough Tavern, at Clapham. The branch line also commences with the existing Seffra Sewer at Deptford, and will run for a considerable distance parallel with the proposed main line of sewer, ter minating with the rise of the Effra at Dulwich, and extending for a distance of 4 miles 520 feet. The tenders were opened, and the sums were as follows : —Moxon, £211,000 ; Trust, £223,122 ; J. Phillips, £193,169 ; Hill and Co., £204,534 ; Myers, £242,700 ; Walker and Co., £227,540 ; Downs, £229,160; Lavers, £230,000 • J. Diggle, £215,000 ; J. Jay, £247,200 ; V. Webster, £215,379 • Smith and Knight, £268,661 ; N orr i s, Elling, and Co., £213,873. The board then resolved themselves into a com mittee. On the re-admission of the public. the Chairman announced to Mr. John Phillips that his tender was accepted, subject to the usual inquiries as to the sufficiency of his sureties for the due per formance of the work. After some routine applications under the Building Act had been disposed of, the board adjourned. GOVERNMENT ELEC2RIC TELE- GRAPHS. The electric telegraph is an agency which has not been altogether neglected by British Govern ments. Some small use was made of it during, the late Crimean war; and in the more recent war in India it has unquestionably been turned to (rood account. But that any Administ r ati on h as yet sultiently com prehended the advantages which are to be gained by its means, or has sought to secure all these advantages for the country, we must entirely deny. Even as an auxiliary to the defence of this island, for which it is so eminently applicable, how little has it been yet adopted ? The Government have under their own control one pair of wires putting them in in stant communication with Woolwich, Chatham, Sheerness, and Deal ; and they have another pair extending to Portsmouth and Gosport, from which a branch is led off to Aldershott ; and these are all which belong exclusively to them. On the other hand, notwithstanding all our talk of coast defences, there is no direct electric telegraph communication whatever between such places as Brighton and Portsmouth, Dorchester and Exeter, and so forth. Yet what could possibly be more necessary, in case of our coasts boing menaced, than a continuous chain of telegraphs along our shores, connected at all points with the seat of Government ? If we turn our eyes to our possessions abroad, the facts are no more cheering. Up to this moment successive Governments have utterly neglected to put us in direct and independent telegraphic communication even with Gibraltar and Malta—important as those possessions are, and seriously as they would be endangered by some of those naval combinations of which we have lately heard so much! View the matter with as much lenience as we may, it is still manifest that sub marine telegraphs to such places as those have be come as essential to the security of our possessions as fleets and armies themselves, and that every hour of inaction in respect to them is attended by terrible responsibilities. It is little less than sheer fatuity to rely upon despatch vessels, and other like means of communication in this day, with an instrument like the electric telegraph in cur hands. It is not less absurd to trust, as we are now trusting, to lines of telegraph which are as 'much in the hands of those who may any day become our enemies as in our own. What appears to us to be necessary Is, the instant establishment of a Government Depart ment designed expressly and exclusively to work out and put in operation a system of electric telegraph communication, either apart altogether from commercial undertakings of a like A na p tu e r r e m , a o u r e i n n t s s o t i a n fr e ppt:rud electricians i connectionor telegraph ‘vengi neers itl the is henceforth.. tidispensabl e . Hi t h erto the p or a practice employment porary Government miss them whene ver it has been thought, and We need not say that no kind of Government work can be done well or economically under such a system as this. There must be security, must be permanence, in all such occupations ; and in none more than that of which we are now speaking, bec ause th ere i s no occupat i on in which experience, and the skill which springs from it, are more indispen sa bly necessary. These suggestions are made in the earnest hope that somethi ng use f u l an d re li a bl e may b e a tt em pted in the shape of a Government organisation with out delay. We refrain from entering into con siderations of cost, and matters of that kind, for fear of encumbering a ery simple but, as we believe, important suggestion with needless details. The only hint of rteheemkninedndon to tahtaitwewitlhlehereven ture to give is a m Govern ment to see, in laying down cabl es o f th e i r own , that e ffi ciency is not sacrificed by excessive economy in the construction of their submarine cables. The cable from Malta to Corfu, for ex ample, is much too fragile. One eminent electrical engineer informs us that £l5O a mile should be spent on a cable for con nec ti ng our shores with our Mediterranean possessions, and that for this a cable excellent in all respects for the purpose could be produced. Another mentions a much lower amount o p r er m m uch ile , at this is su c ffi a b c l in n t . p a ß r u t i t e u m l q a i r e tli shoulder it costbe made little and laid down without ilelay.-11feekamcs , Maga zine.

SHIELDS, Thursday Night.—Tho French full rigged ship Notre Dame des Victoires, which struck on tl • bar of the Tyne this morning and grounded, part of her cargo and coals having been cast overboard, has been got off and brought into port this evening. She appears to 1e a good deal strained. She had a pilot on board in proceeding to sea. He states that the master informed him that the vessel drew 10 feet 3 inches, and there being 20 feet water on the bar, he ventured to take the vessel out. An imp ir will be made as to the water the vessel really draws.
