. _ MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEI3'E. CITY, Two o'CLomc. The demand for money has slightly increased, but the movement is net of importance, and the rates continue to range as low as 21 per cent. While the quotations are so exceedingly easy, the market is generally very sensitive, and whenever the inquiry is stimulated bankers and others avail themselves of the opportunity by asking rather enhanced rates. At present, however, the supplies are abundant, and any decided variation is consi dered improbable. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pera, which leaves to-morrow for India and China, will take out £497,232, of which £315,081 is on Government account—viz., £274,498, in silver, to Calcutta ; and £40,583, ditto, to Hong Kong' The following are the particulars : __ Madras, gold Do., silver Calcutta, do. Do., gold Singapore, silver Hong Kong, do. Poo Chow do. Shanghai, do. The Dover Castle, from Port Philip, has been £2,336 10,000 274,493 10,000 6,000 165,691 announced this morning, with £312,764 in specie. While in lat. 10 N. she spoke the Yorkshire, which left Melbourne on the 30th of July with 29,471 oz. of gold; In the Liverpool cotton market yesterday busi ness was not quite so active, but prices were with out alt.ration. The sales were only 7,000 bales. The railway share market closed with some anima tion, and quotations generally were rather higher. The indigo sales are progressing favourably, and the demand continues rather active, at an advance of 5d to 8d per lb. compared with the rates realised in July. Telegrams from the Paris Bourse to-day report a quiet business in the Rentes at previous quota tions. The market for Public Securities opened this .a morning with a quieter, but steady appearance. Transactions were recorded in Consols at pre vious prices, but there was rather less buoy ancy, and the Indian Loan remained at the quotations to which it reacted yester day a f ternoon. From 1041 it receded to 1 038, but in other respects the several markets exhibited a firm appearance. The upward ten dency has been slightly impeded by the accounts from the Paris Bourse, where business is dull, with symptoms of depression. Support, hoNvever, is given to the markets here by the favourable posi tion of monetary affairs. Consols have been 96 1 1 for money, and 964 -1 for account, and they continue firm at these prices.. T he New Threes and the Reduced are firm at 951 a. Long Annuities have receded to 17Z. India New Stock is 1032 y ; ditto Scrip, 1031 7 4 ; but the Debentures (1858) have advanced to 964 971. Bank Stock remains at 221 to 223. Exchequer Bills have improved to 265. and 30s. prem. The transactions in the Foreign Stock Market have been rather limited, and prices are steady- Turkish 6 per Cents., 79 to 791; ditto New Loan, 69 1 to 70 ; Mexican is at 221 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents. remain at 46N 1 ; Russian 41 per Cents., at 99 1 ; ditto 3 per Cents., at 671; and Venezuelan 2 1 per Cents., at 281 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents. have advanced to 911, but Dutch 4 per Cents. have receded to 991 Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather restricted, and in some instances less buoy any has been apparent. Eastern Counties and Scottish North-Eastern declined as. ; Caledonian, South-Western, and North-Eastern (York) s ; Midlands advanced ss. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have been in limited demand. Lombardo-Venetian, Dutch Rhenish, and Royal Danish brought former rates. East Indian improved to 101,1-; Grand Trunk of Canada were 38!- to 39 ; and Great Western of Canada, 141 14t. Joint -Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are at slightly advanced rates. London and West- Minster improved ss. to 10s.; Oriental Bank, ss:; Berlin Water Works are 5 to 51, ; Electric Tele graph, 102 ; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 761. • 1111.1T1311 FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

CLAY 92 91 1 1 d 1 Ito 5 sad This was an Action to recover L 3 demurrage of a barge, laden with piles for some welks at Westminster. Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, called a witness who stated that the piles were shipped at Glasgow, by a firm there to which defendant acted as London agent. • DeAndant denied his liability. Tie was only agent, and the name of his principal was well known. lie never hired the barge. 6 7 I d par Plaintiff's witness said, a boy in defendant's office, or de fondant's son gate orders respecting the barge. Defendant said he was not authorised. 11 1 d 11 Id l ICOI 101 His Honour—Why not sue the firm at Glasgow ? Mr. Buchanan—l am informed that it is not usual. Three days are allowed, and after that time it is a custom, in the port of London, to sue the agent. His Honour—l must have very good evidence of such a custom before I receive it here. Cannot we send a summons to Glasgow ? id par 99 100 19 20 S 8 39 92 94 73 75 82 84 72 ;4 97 08 1 It d Mr. Buchanan—No. The Courts only have jurisdiction in England and Wales. We must have a Scotch attorney, and tke practice is very expensive. His Honour—Yes, it is a monstrously hard matter. If an Englishman owes a Scotchman a debt ho is sued for it and the amount recovered easily enough ; but if a Scotchman owes an Englishman a debt, unheard-of difficulties are in the way.

For the Cambridge- shire Stakes, Honey was in increased demand, and was supported outright for money, closing at 10 to 1, taken freely ; Artless had friends at 10 to 1; Mazzini had a very healthy appearance in the market, and is freely invested upon at any advance up3n:loo to 8 ; North Lincoln suf fered further decline, 100 to 6 being currently offered agst him ; and those odds could have been obtained agst Ariadne ; Volta receded to 25 to 1, offered ; Geologic and Lady Alice were nominally at 100 to 6 each ; 1600 to 20 was taken about Ticket-of-Leave, and 1000 to 10 was offered against any of the first thirteen horses named in the list. Tho Roxburgh Handicap Race, which takes place to-morrow (Wednesday), seems to take amongst the layers of the odds, many books being opened upon it. Gaspard fluctuated between 2 and 3 to 1; Meg Merrilies was very unsteady, while 4 to 1 were the most odds that could have been at any time obtained against Gladiolus. Sir Harry, Souvenir, Shafto, and Maid of the Mist were each nibbled at at prices varying from 7 to 10 to 1. our third editian of yesterday AYS.

STEALING A CONT.—A man named John Wilson was placed at the bar charged with stealing a " Raglan wrapper" from the shop door of Mr. Stammers, tailor, of 64, Strand. Police -constable A 325 said this morning I saw the pri soner making towards the dark arches in Durham-street, with the coat produced. He attempted to conceal the article when he saw me, but I followed him, andhaving taken him into custody, returned with him to Mr. Stam mers' shop, which is at the corner of the street, when he was given into custody for stealing the coat from the shop door. The prisoner has been at the bar of this court before, for attempting to steal a coat from the same shop. Mr. Stammers identified the coat produced as his pro perty. The prisoner, who had but just come out of prison, was fully- committed for trial. ROBBERY AT THE COLONIAL-OFFICE.—A lad named Jackson, employed at the Colonial-office in the repairs going on there by order of the Board of Works, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a watch, some rings, and other articles of jewellery, the property of the domestic servants. Elizabeth Morgan said the watch produced was her pro perty. She n.issed it last night from the drawers, which had been removed out of her room in order that the work men might repair tho place. The prisoner was one of the persons so employed. Elizabeth 01diff said one of the rings produced was her property. It had been taken from her drawor without her knowledge. Police-constable 585 A said, ho found the stolen pro perty in a box belonging to the prisoner at his lodgings in Little Erle-street, Seven Dials. Mr. Jardine asked the foreman of the works whether it was understood that the case should be sent to the sessions. The Foreman said as things were being continually missed, the surveyor thought the case ought to be pro ceeded with as an example to others similarly employed. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. STEALING A LETTER.—John Myham Hughes, a letter sorter in the North-Western District Post-office, was charged with stealing a letter, containing coin, the pro perty of the Postmaster-General. From the evidence it appeared in consequence of certain suspicions a letter was` made up, into which two half sove reigns were placed, and then posted in the ordinary way. Intentionally the letter was sent to the North-Western District office, instead of the 'Western, and there the pri soner was seen to take up the letter, and instead of taking it, as a mis-directed letter, to his superior officer, he put it up the sleeve of his coat. The prisonor, who declined saying anything, was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROITGII-STREET. DAMAGING A CAPTAIN'S CARRIAGE. DANGEROUS DRIVING.—Owen Martin, a cabdriver, badge 4,852, was charged before Mr. Beadon with damaging the brougham of Capt!.in Allen M'Geachy Allen, being drunk, and furi ously driving at the time, to the great danger of passengers. Henry Frost, footman to Captain Allen, of 4, Oxtord square, Bayswater, said that on the previous evening about half-past eight he was sitting on the box of tee brougham at the side of the coachman, Captain Allen, Mrs. Allen, and Colonel Baring being inside at the time, on the way to the St. James's Theatre, going at the time at about the rate of six miles an hour ; and when near the Marble Arch in Park-lane the defendant, who was coming in a contrary direction, his horse galloping at the rate of 12 miles an hour, came right into them. The coachman of the brougham had called out to the defendant in time for him to have avoided the collision if he had thought proper. Th. de fendant's front wheel became locked in theirs, and the damage amounted to £5 19s. The defendant was drunk and staggered about. James Ward, 290 A, proved seeing the defendant run into the brougham, his horse galloping at the time. The defendant was knocked off his box under his horse, and on pulling him out he found bimto be very drunk. There was plenty of room for the defendant to have avoided the acci dent had he been sober. Mr. Boadon told the owner of the cab that he was liable for the damage. The owner of the cab said his cab was all knocked to pieces. Mr. Beadon said he could not help that, and ho had better see the owner of the brougham. The defendant said he had nothing to say, and Mr. Beadon, having remarked on his reckless conduct while in a state of intoxication, committed him for a month with hard labour. THAMES. CRUEL RODRlMY.—Charles Manning, 20, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a pilot jacket, a cloth waistcoat, and a silk handkerchief, value £2 10s., the property of Daniel Collins, a labourer, of 2, Bruce's-build ings, Whitechapel. The prosecutor, an industrious well-conducted Irishman, and his wife occupied one room, in which the prisoner, who is the brother of Mrs. Collins, was allowed to sleep and take his meals. They had benefited him in other ways. On Monday evening the prisoner brushed his best clothes and put them away in a chest in the presence of the prisoner. Yesterday morning, after the prosecutor got up and wont to his work, the prisoner remained in bed. Sometime afterwards his sister called him, and told him to get up for she was going to market. He made some excuse., and said the gang with which ho was to work would not be ready for two or three hours, and turned upon his side and pre tended to fall asleep again. His sister had some suspicion of him, and whoa she went to market locked the door, leaving the prisoner in the room. On her return the door was open and the prisoner gone. Her husband's chest was open and the clothes gone. Search was made for the pri soner, who was apprehended at two o'clock this morning in a night coffeehouse. Collins said ho had woiked hard for his "little bits of things," and it was cruel to be robbed in this manner. Mr. Yardloy—So it is, my good man. The police shall endeavour to trace your property. Collins—The prisoner was spending the money ho raised upon the things all day yesterday, and has bought a new pair of boots. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner until Saturday. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 dis. and the short exchange on London is 25.12} ,Miitnt appears pric o thatf per Ll sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng -Igloshldl-10th per cent. dearer at about ounce for standard in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg tho price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the gold is English Mint price is therefore at about the same price in London as in Hamburg. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 110 1 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex change is in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte rest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importa tiouyf gold from the 'United States. The - Inverness Courier says :—" Mr. George Dickson, secretary and inspector of the Caledoniann B ink, has obtained the appointment of secretary or chief officer of the Bank of Bengal. The salary, we understand, is £3,600 per annum, with an official residence at Calcutta. The appointment is regarded as the most influential of its kind in India." st. lb Bevis Pensioner Schism, 5 12 Magnet Prince of Denmark Cytherus ..... 5 10 Gleesinger 5 10 The Leper .. 5 10 Happy Prince 5 10 Villikins 5 8 Queenstown.

Although the supply of English wheat hero to-day was only limited, we have to report a slow inquiry for most kinds. Compared with Monday, however, no quotable chango took place in prices. Foreign wheat—the imports of which continue on a full average scale —was dull, but not cheaper. Floating cargoes of grain maintained their previous value. The show of barley was limited, and all descriptions commanded a steady inquiry, at very full prices. Malt changed hands to a moderate extent, at last week's quotations. There was a fair demand for oats and prices were well supported. Both beans and peas were a dull inquiry. Flour sold to a fair extent, on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley. Malt.

He has favoured Mr. Nottage, of the Stereoscopic Company, with two sittings, or rather standings, surrounded by a group of French officers. Mr. Nottage presented his Imperial Highness with a set of views of the ship, having done the same to his Royal Highness Prince Albert yesterday, and both distinguished visitors expressed their gratifi cation. Commander Evans, R.N., and Lieut. Eaton are on board inundress uniform to meet the Prince, and the visitors have at the same time the opportu nity of seeing the eighth wonder of the world and a member of the most successful family of modsrn times. Some of the sailors of the Dauphin are on board, and the avidity with which they seized upon. a man-o'war's-ma n from. the Hastings showed that at least with them, however it may be in more exalted' quarters, the entente cot-Wale is still exist ing. The guns on deck seem to be a great attrac tion. Scarcely a Frenchman besides his Imperial Highness has passed them without down ithosto t p h p e i m ng u , z t z a l k e, in i g n out the tompion and peering order, I presume, to see whether these are the ter rible Armstrong weapons of which stories have got afloat among our neighbours. The suite of Prince Napoleon consisted of M. Ron de la Ponciere, captain, Imperial navy; Count Buanicki, M. Roca, com mander of the Dauphin ; M. Pisani, M. ltagon, and M. de Buiffon, aides de camp ; Viscount Clore, equerry; and Messieurs . Choidetty and Watt, secretaries. His Highness remained on board' from eight to half-past eleven a.m., and when he left shook hands with Mr. Campbell and Captain Har rison, at the same time expressing to them the pleasure he had received, and -offering his best wishes for the success of the undertaking. Yesterday there came on board the largest num ber of visitors since the arrival of the Great Eastern at Holyhead. The total number of tickets issued was 2,854, a result of their: arrangements which must be highly satisfactory to the London and North-Western Railway Company. The greatest number of visitors since the launch was at Wey mouth, where 7,800 or 7.900 were admitted, but these numbers arc as nothing when compared with those of the visitors expected on the ether side of the Atlantic by sanguine directors. The surveyors, Messrs. Patterson and Gibson, and the umpire, Mr. Hawkshaw, are on board, and en gaged in their duties. As soon as their inspection is concluded there will be, it is said, no difficulty in procuring the Board of Trade certificate, imme diately after the reception of •which the Great Eastern will depart for her Atlantic trip. The weather continues unpleasant, the sky is gloomy and lowering, - and though at present the visitors are flocking on board it no doubt prevents many of those who would wish to see the ship from coming off. I forgot to say that Southampton is decided on as the port to which the Great Eastern will return after the trip to America. Some engineers have gone ashore without leave, and will c onsequently be dismissed, much to the gratification of those who have experienced their stubbornness and power of grumbling. These are the last of those men sen t on b oard by Mr. Russell, so that now the entire ship and engines are in the hands of those appointed and recommended by the late Mr. Brunel and the company. Some important repairs to the boilers are just being completed. The " patch" is no longer in existence, and the boilers are now as before the explosion. Mr. M‘Lennan, the chief engineer, who was "chief" of the Great Britain, is. confident that in twenty-four hours from this time he can have his department in full sea-working order, and ready for turning the paddles and screw in the rollers of the Atlantic. VOLUNTEER CORPS. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday a meeting of the council of the Mary lebone Volunteer Rifle Corps took place, for the purpose of receiving communications from the War-office, and other matters connected with the corps. Lord RADSTOCK occupied the chair, and read the following communications from the office of the Lieutenancy and the War-office : " 21, Spring. gardens, Oct 15. "My Lord,--Referring to your lordship's request to the Lord-Lieutenant that he would submit the application of your proposed corps, that they might be permitted to choose their own uniform, I have the honour to transmit herewith, by direction of the Lord. Lieutenant, a copy of a letter received from the Secretary of State for War in an swer to a communication from his lordship submitting your request to Mr. Secretary Herbert.—l have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient humble ser vant, "RICHARD NICHOLSON, Clerk to the Lieutenancy. " The Lord Radstock." " ' War-oflice, Oct. 14. " ' My Lord,--With reference to your lordship's letter of tha 27th ult., stating that Lord Radstock had requested permission to choose the uniform to be worn by the 9th and 10th Middlesex Rifle Volunteers, I have the honour to in - form you that as the similarity of uniform throughout a county, recommended in Article 6 of the War-ollice Memo randum issued on the 13th of July, is desirable, mainly in order to facilitate the formation of battalions, I have no objection to the grant of a distinctive uniform to any corps consisting of several companies, under field officers of its own; . and, as I understand the present companies to be the commencement of such a corps, I shall have no objection to their adopting any uniform of which your lordship may not disapprove.—l have the honouc to be, &c., " S. HERBERT. " The Marquis of Salisbury, K.G., &c.' " It was resolved that these communications should be received and. entered upon the minutes of the council. Mr. MARRINER, the hon. secretary, then read the following from Lieutenant-General Sir James John Hamilton : " Carmarthen, Oct. 17. " Dear Sir,—l bem herewith to enclose a memorandum of a donation of et) that I have this day directed my bankers, Messrs. Sir Samuel Scott and Co. to place to the credit of the funds of the Marylebone Volunteer Rifle Corps. So soon as you shall have verified it you will be pleased to trapsmit to me a receipt. I regret that my lengthened ab sence from London, and my prospective compulsory absence during the ensuing year for a still longer period, prevents my tendering my personal services at the meeting of the corps. I pray you to convoy to them the expression of my best wishes, and my conviction that the corps will be a credit, nu less to itself than to .that important parish, in the well-being of which we alltakc so deep an iuterest.—Belive me, faithfully yours, "JAMES JOHN HAMILTON " G. Marriner, Esq." It was resolved that the thanks of the council be presented to Sir James Hamilton for his liberal donation. . _ _ _ _ A discussion ensued as to the proposal which had been made to alter the title of the corps, upon which it was resolved to call a meeting of the entire mem bers of the corps, at Lord's cricket-ground, to recon sider the question of changing the name of the corps to that of the " West London Rifles," and also to consider the question of uniform. The Hon. Secretary read the War-office letter respecting the additional issue of rifles to the dif fer ent corps, when it was resolved — "That Lord Radstock be requested to apply for an extra number to the Marylebonc Corps, the present members not having sufficient for their use." It was further resolved that the subscriptions already received be advertised in the public papers, and thanks to the noble chairman closed the meeting. BRIDGEWATER. A meeting, convened by Mr. B. C. Greenhill, was held at the Clarence Hotel on Saturday night last. There was a numerous and influential attendance. Various resolutionq were passed for the purpose of forming a corps in Bridgewater and the neighbour hood. The Mayor presided. Thirty-two volunteers enrolled at once, and the corps is expected very soon to muster 100 men. II ULL. A meeting of the Hull Volunteer Rifle Corps was held on Monday at the George Inn, at which it was announced that Lord Wenlock had recom• mended her Majesty to confirm the election of Mr. J. Walter Pease as captain, Mr. A. Bannister as lieutenant, and Mr. H. Vincent Parker as ensip. The noble lord had also sent the necessary docu ments up to the War•office for the enrolment of the corps. Between 80 and 90 members have joined, and a second corps is in process of formation. The Government ins?ector will arrive in Hull in the course of a day or two in order to select suitable ground for rifle practice. The necessary contracts for outfits have been advertised for and are in pro cess of acceptance. In fact, the greatest success has hitherto attended this patriotic movement. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. The first parade of the corps will take place on Tuesday, the 25th inst., at the Armoury, at 2.30, when all members are request to attend in uniform. A course of musketry was to commence to-day. A Cingalese tailor lately petitioned Sir Henry Ward for leave to marry again as he had not seen his wile for 20 years. He was thus made happy :—" His Excel lency the Governor having taken into consideration the petition of B. De Hoon, of Kandy, praying that he may be permitted to marry again, has directed the petitioner to be informed that the governor has nothing to do with setilin,i mat►imonial quarrels, but that his excellency thinks that a man who has not seen his wife for 20 years, may fairly assuine that he will not see her again, and do his best to supply her place." The progress of South Australia is at least equally satisfactory: As regards agricultural, pastoral, and mineral operations, internal and external trade, and increase of population, the official tables resent results calculated to excite surprise. The revenue for the year ending the 30th of June last reached .E 164,320. The population increased between 1830 and 1858 from 63,700 to 118,340 souls. The value of the imports in 1842 was £169,493, and in 1858 £1,769,351, the figures relating to the exports of the produce of the colony for the same years being respectively £29,079 a n d £1,355,041. In 1812 the number of acres of land in cultivation was 19,790, and 264,432 in 1858. Tile number of sheep in the colony during the interval increased tenfold, viz., from 331,000 to 3,108,501. This colony possesses an enduring s ource o f wea l t h i n i ts copper an d ot h er mineral deposits, which arc as yet most inadequately worked, and would be likely to command increased notice in the event of any check arising to the pursuit of gold mining in the other colonies. Tasmania has just given a great proof of her ener getic and enterprising spirit in laying a submarine telegraphic cable across Bass's Straits, by which means she places herself at once in electric commu nication with all the other colonies of the Australian group. 11er pastoral interests are thriving, and the recent discovery of gold in quantities sufficient to yield a profit upon the working may prove of great importance. New Zealand now also claims to rank as a gold producing colony. The extent of her resources in this direction remains to be ascertained, but there is no doubt whatever that she possesses, besides gold, coalfields, together with extensive deposits of copper ore and other minerals. The agricultural capacity of this infant colony, the area of which is greater than that of Great Britain and Ireland, is almost illimit able. In the quarter ending March last the total imports into Nev Zealand amounted to A:360,820 (being at the rate Of nearly a million and a half per annum), against A:221,690in the corresponding quarter of last year. The exports of woo l f or th e first quarter of the prisent year reached £211,240, nainst only .E 5-1,118 in that of 18M. The local journals refer in gratulatory terms to the growing disposition of British merchants to participate in trade to this colony. The high credit achieved by the various Colonial Governments, through a faithful di sc h arge o f a ll their public ligitions, is proved by the marked appreciation of their securities in London. Colonial banks may be classel amongst the most remunera tive undertakings in which capital has ever been embarked. The activity of the telegraphic com munication between one colony and another shows that all of them are imbued with the keenest spirit of enterprise, and indisposed to let older communi ties obtain any advantage over them. The zeal with which the exploratio) of the interior of the vast continent of Australia is prosecuted likewise attests their rising energies. The electioneering excite ment reported by the two last mails from New South Wales and Victoria is rather a promising feature than otherwise. as denoting the deep in terest felt by the colonists in the working of their representative institutions, and their resolve to place them upon a stable footing. It is equally the duty and the interest of the Go vernment of this country, which has not yet entirely released the colonists from leading-strings, to pro mot.z their progress by every legitimate means. When the co-operation of the Imperial Government is solicited, whether through the medium of her Majesty's representatives in the colonies or through that of the influential colonists residing in England, the appeal should be met in the most liberal spirit. This is the only way in which the rich young com munities at the Antipodes, whose value we are only just beginning to recognise, can be knit firmly to us.—Daily News. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING. TIIE NATIONAL BOARD OF EDUCATION. The Ultramontane Evening News gives the fol lowing extraordinary piece of intelligence under the highly appropriate head of " Important Revo lutions" :—" It is rumoured this afternoon on authority that we believe to be beyond question, that the formal reply of Mr. Cardwell to the address of the Bishops was received by their lordships this morning. It announces or proposes the removal of Mr. M‘Donel, Chief Commissioner of the Education Board, to be replaced by Mr. John O'llagan ; the removal of several of the Protestant and foreign professors and high officials is sketched for their lordships' acceptancd and approval, the successors to the vacant offices to be Cathclics. The rumour has created a profound sensation all over the city, and of course intense excitement prevails in Marl borough-street.. It is needless for us to say, assum ing the facts to be as stated, that the Government has quite mistaken the demands of the Catholics of Ireland if it thinks such steps likely to appease the just objection of Irish Catholics to a pernicious system." Sir Henry and Lady Flower. Every have left the Brunswick, Jerntyn-street, for the Isle of Wight. LOVE, LAW, AND PIIYSIC.—At the Westminster County Court on Tuesday was tried M‘Donald v. Ark bourn, an action to recover £7 15s. Mr. Roberts appeared for the plaintiff, who is a surgeon, and Mr. Charnock, of King William-street, for the defendant, who is an attorney. It was stated that the parties had been very old friends, and this was a claim for medical attendance on defendant's wife. It was supposed that the defence would be a belief that plaintiff intended to attend without charging. Plaintiff was willing to give reasonable advice gratis, but could not be expected to give such attendance at all hours of the night, and for ten hours at a stre , ch, without the ordinary - fees. laintiff proved the attendance upon Mrs. Ayckbourn, who was in a very dangerous state. In his cross-examination he taiid he had paid great attention to the case. lie had "read up" on the subject. He had " read up" the autho rties so as not to omit anything. Another gentleman was called in and refused to attend. Subsequently Messrs. Jones and Todd attended, and were paid £7.. Defendant had "done" several legal matters for plaintiff without charge; and in the present year, at the beginning of it, plaintiff (defendant's wife being enciente) offered to attend Mrs. Ayckbourn gratuitously. Plaintiff often spent the evening at defendant's, and preset tied fur defendant's wife. On the 15th March she miscarried , and p laintiff had a great deal of trouble.

AUSIRALI.AN COLONIES. The growing wealth, prosperity, and impertanee of the Australian Colonies form one of the most in teres(ing and gratifying features of the present time. The checks which they hive occasionally experienced seem to have rendered their ()ward ”rog,ress er4 the more sure and solid. From each proofs of energy and enter prise, and of the success which waits upon these qualities, arc showered upon us by every mail. Sixty years ago the c )lony of Victoria had not been discovered, and even after colonisation had nomi nally commenced so much neglected was it, that the population two-and-twenty years ago numbered only 500 scads. It now amouets to between five and six hundred thousand, and is steadily in creasing. The productive and trading. capacity of the colony may be estimated from the fact that. the aggregate exports from Victorian ports in the first half of the present year reached thirteen million stealing, and - that during the last four years the shipments ur gold produced there hava ranged from ten to twelve millions annually. Its consuming capacity is attested by the magnitude of the im ports, which in the first half of the present year are stated at an aggregate of £13,500,000, although allowance must of course be made for the amount transhipped to other markets. The ordinary re venue of Victoria for the year ending the 30th of June last exceeded three millions sterling. In proof of the vast extent of its general business, reference may be made to the aggregate results of the re turns furnished by the nine Joint Stock Banks existing in the colony. The active circulation amounted to close upon £2,000,000, and the de posits to no less than £6,332,020, of which £4,902,578 bore interest. The coin and bullion held amounted to £2,766,344, and the paid-up capi tal of the nine establishments to £5,853,134. The other colonies of the Australian group have made relatively less rapid progress, yet have al ready achieved a degree of prosperity otherwise unparalleled in the annals of colonisation. The official estimate of the produce of the Customs at Sydney for . the current year reaches the sum of £572,250. The Sydnep Mint is coining at the rate of £1,500,000 a year. From the Ist of January to the middle of August the colony has shipped, al most exclusively to England, in addition to gold and a large quantity of other produce, 37,303 bales of wool, being 5,456 bales more than the quantity shipped in the same period from Melbourne. In the year 1858 the supply of wool imported into Great British from British possessions, principally from Australia, amounted to 69 per cent. of the en tire coantity imported. Many of the banking and steam navigation companies in New South Wales are paying dividends at the rate of ten and twenty per cent, per annum. Of the liberality of spirit by which the Legislature is actuated no further proof is needed than their grant of .+:50,000 a year for the establishment of another mail service, and of £20,000 for the purchase of the flock of alpacas lately intro-. dined. For one year-1858—the colonial Legisla ture authorised the expenditure of no less a sum than £BO,OOO on the main trunk lines of road. The large and increasing production of coal now forms one of the most important elements of the prosperity of this colony. eonimunity a Share MIEN' Paid. nll ;o Paid.
