MONEY MARKET AND CITY IVEIVS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Some satisfactory features are exhibited in the Bank of England return completed to the 23d of May. The bullion, owing to the fa'iling off in the demand for the Continent, and the arrivals from Australia and the United States, has been largely augmented, while the increase of notes consequent upon the more easy state of the money market, shows an addition of nearly three quarters of a million. The policy of the directors in reducing the rate of discount is fully warranted by the large reduction in the other securities. The pubiic de posits show a small augmentation, while in the private deposits an increase to a large amount is perceptible. In the other items there is no parti cular variation requiring special notice. Subjoined is an analysis of the balance-sheet : Active Circulation .. Decrease Bullion ..

If etas Unemployed Increase .. A niodorate demand for money is reported in the gener P.l market, and choice bills are negotiable at 3 i per cent., the bankers and brokers being dis posed to make a slight concession in order to re sume business. Tho foreign exchanges, yesterday afternoon, exhibited no material variation. Ab out £64,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of En gland yesterday. Th e steamer Masselia, which leaves to-morrow for Bombay, will take out £5,000 in gold, and £14,650 in oil ver. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday the demand was very inactive, and prices had a down ward itendency. The sales amounted to about 6,000 bales. Th e official returns relative to trade and naviga tion for the four months ending the 30th of April, 1860, have just been published. From these it ap - pears that the total declared value of the exports from the United Kingdom for the four months was X 41,834,347, against £41,851,524, showing an in crease of X 17,177 compared with the like period in 1859, the increase is perceptible in beer and ale, cotton manufactures, cotton yarn, and British spirits, while there is a decrease in coals and culm, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen manufactures, machinery and silk manu factures. The importations of the principal articles have been larger as regards cocoa, coffee, raw cotton, fruits, provisions, spices, sugars, tallow, tea, tobacco, wine, and sheeps' and lambs' wool; there was a diminution in live animals, wheat, flour, hemp, raw silk, and timber. The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the four months of 241,227 tons for the entries inwards, and of 81,346 tons for the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade for the four months 273,774 tons more were employed than in the cor responding period of 1859, for the entries inwards and 368,618 tons for the clearances outward. The market for Public Securities has been quiet to-day, and the quotations have not undergone any Inattrial variation. At first there was a little heavineaq, but the closing quotations showed in creased firmness, Consols being 95 to 951 for money, and 95 1- a for account. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced are steady at 931 y . India Loan re mains " 1 06 s j ; and the Reduced are 961. Ex chequer Bills`a._l4. to 9s. prem.

His Honour said—ln this case the plaintiff seeks to set aside, or rather asks to renovate a resettlement of a family estate, which gives him an estate for life instead of an estate tails. The father and son agreed to disentail the estate and mortgage it for £lO,OOO to the use of the father, to increase the jointure of his wife from £l,OOO to £1,500, and make provision for his younger children. The plain tiff (the eldest son) alleged that he misunderstood the terms of this agreement, and asked for a reconveyance of the estate to him in tail. His Honour, on considering the evi dence produced, and the authorities referred to, came to the conclusion that the plaintiff sufficiently understood that his interest in the estate tail was to be reduced to an estate for life, and dismissed the plaintiff's bill with costs, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice Keating and a Common Jury.) FLEWERS V. WOOD AND ANOTHER. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Pearce were for the p!aintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. T. Atkinson for the defendants. This action was brought to recover damages against the contractors for making a sewer at Hackney, by the plaintiff, a boy of 15, who had fallen into it while in the course of construction. Mr. Sergeant Parry, at the commencement of the case, said that the defendants would give the plain tiff no technical difficulty, as they wishes merely to try the question of liability on its merits. On the 12th October, 1878, the plaintiff, who lives with his parents at Stoke Newington, was sent for a loaf of bread betwen. 7 and 8 o'clock in the e ening. At the corner of Wellington-street and Hindle-street the defendants' sower was open, and the p'alntiff, in crossing, fell into it. His thigh was broken, and he was for some months in Bartholomew's Hospital. The result has been that the boy's hip-joint has become permanently stiff, and that ho is lame for life, one leg being shorter than the other. For the plaintiff it was proved that the sewer was not protected at all, by either rails, lights, or watchers, and that even the earth thrown out had been in a great measure removed.' The defence was that the de fendents had been guilty of no negligence, and that the boy had contributed by his own carelessness, in running along the embankment, to the accident. The evidence was, as is usual in similar casco, extremely contradictory, and the statement that the sewer was unprotected was denied by several witnesses. The jury gave a verdict for plaintiff—damages £BO. POLICE INTELLIG .811 7 CE-( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SAVAGE ASSAULT.—James Hayes, 1, Little White Lion street, a shoemaker, was brought before Mr. Beadon charged with the following savage assault • Mr. Haycroft, a general dealer, residing in Clement's lane, said the prisoner, who had been drinking, came up to him at the corner of Broad-street, knocked him down with out the slightest provocation, and while on the ground. fixed his teeth in his cheek, and " regularly gnawed it." He had never seen the prisoner before, and was wholly at a loss to account for the prisoner's act of cannibalism. [The pro secutor's cheek bore a frightful wound.] James Church, a young man residing at 15, Searle-street, Marylebone, said, while passing the end. of Broad-street he saw the prisoner, who wanted to fight some one, pitch on the prosecutor, and they both went down together, and on their getting up the prosecutor's cheek was covered with blood, as was also the prisoner's mouth. 12 Prisoner said he had no recollection of it. Mr. Beadon said it was perfectly extraordinary. Since last year upwards of 40 case's of biting had come before him. He would punish all cases of the kind as severely as he could, and he wished he could inflict hard labour. He should fine him £5, or two months' imprisonment.

PAROCHIAL REFORM-HAMLET OF .RATCLIFF A meeting of ratepayers of this hamlet was held this morning at nine o'clock, at the Mercers' Arms, Tattoo street, Stepney, to adopt measures to secure the return of Messrs. Creer, Mayo, Pfeil, Peacock, Sherren,' Stuart, Simpson, Geo. Richardson, and li r alton, - the candidates re commended by the Parochial Reform Association, which since its establishment has caused a reduction in the poor rates of this once misgoverned hamlet from Is. 4d. to Ild. in the pound, have brought to light delinquencies in a clerk to a local board, thrown openthe Limohouse Boar.] of Works, of which Ratcliff forms a part, and have produced a more equal rating of the large water side properties of the brewers, coal merchants, and manufacturers in the hamlet, whose assessment has been increasedfrom £lOO to £1,300 per annum thereby greatly relieving the small householders and shopkeepers, who were most unfairly aesesaed by the self nominated Board of Trustees who yearly nominate their successors. Mr. GEORGE BLYTON, of the firm of Goldsmith and Blyton, a vestryman, presided, and said the election for nine vestrymen took place on Tuesday morning last, and that the candidates selected by the association ware pledged to economy and reform, and to the extinction of abuses. The old Tory party had sent out a list which contained, among other names, that of Henry Rollinson, who was already a member of the Board of Trustees and a member of the Board of Guardians, and whose houses let for 9s. per week, are ratedat'the low figure of £lO 12s. sd. per house per annum; and who, when chairman of one of the local boards, permitted an officer of that board, who had em bezzled the parish money, to resign his office and declined to prosecute him. Another name on the Tory list was that of Mr. Nathan, who had recently come into the parish of Ratcliff, and who was a vestryman of Liniehouse, trustee of Limehouse, a member of the Board of Works for the Limehouse district, and a guardian of the poor for Limehouse. The parish of Limehouse and the hamlet of Ratcliff were antagonistic to each other. The Metropolitan Board of Works had reapportioned the debt due on the rock loan, and had increased the apportionment of Ratcliff from £989 13s. 2d. to £3,126 12s. Bd. (Shame, shame.) The Limehouse portion of the debt was not increase'— (hear, hear); and Mr. Nathan, as' member for Limehouse on the District Board of Works, had refused to assist the Ratcliff members in their efforts to prevent the enormous increase of the debt due upon the rock loan, and borrowed of the old Commissioners of Sewers for making sewers in the metropolis. The parishioners of Ratcliff ought to pre vent parochial bigamy, and reject Mr. Rollinson and Mr. Nathan, more particularly the latter, who was identified with the parish of Limehouse for many years, and opposed to the interests of Ratcliff. Mr. Hood, Mr. Warren, Mr. N. Bly ton, overseers, Mr. Devovan, churchwarden, Mr. Creer, and others addressed the meeting and said, the old and corrupt Tory patty were signally defeated at the election of vestrymen three years ago, and if they were allowed to revive the rates would again increase, and jobbery and corruption again attain the as cendancy. Resolutions pledging the meeting to support the nomination of Messrs. Creer, Mayo, T‘ ichardson (a rate payer for 40 years in the hamlet), Simpson, Sharren, Stuart, Peacock, P. Fest, and Walton were unanimously agreed to. The last named gentleman, who is chairman of the Hamlet of Ratcliff Parochial Reform Association, be longs to the firm of Walton and Gowland, Ratcliff-court, shipowners and coal merchants; who have endeared them selves to all classes of rate payers by their philanthropic exertions in favour of the labouring classes, and particularly in ameliorating the condition of the coal whippers.

Haddock and Selby, linendrapers, at the corner of Gros venor-street, Commercial-road East. Mr. Francis Haddock said he received information from a neighbour that two girls had stolen a roll of huckaback from the doorway outside the shop, and had gone down Old Church-road, better known as Mud•dane, Stepney. He went in pursuit of them, and overtook them in Mud-lane. One of the girls had the property in her possession, and he gave both into custody. Mr. Selfe—There have been several cases of stealing goods outside your shop investigated in this curt. Why do you expose your goods for sale in that way, and tempt people to steal ? Mr. Haddobk —We have our eyes on the goods, sir. Mr. Selfe—No, you have not, indeed. Your eyes were not on that large roll of huckaback. You did not even know it was stolen until a neighbour informed you. Mr. Haddock—lt was in the corner of the door-way. ouvp wuere IL ougot not to have been. The prisoners said they were guilty of stealing the huck aback. They picked it up on th 4 pavement outside Had dock and Selby's shop. Mr. Selfe—lt was very easy to be carried off. The pro secutors ought to have a watch-boy to look after their goods if they will expose them for sale outside their shops. I convict the prisoners of larceny, and sentence them to three months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. A FIT SUBJECT FOR A REFORMATORY.—Mary Ann Hutchard, a girl aged 12, was brought before Mr. Selfo charged with robbing her mother of 2s. 7d., which she took off a table in her parent's room, at No. 24, Park-street, Pop lar, on Saturday night last. Mary Ann Hutchard, the mother of the prisoner, who was a state of great affliction, said her daughter was a very bad girl indeed, and had frequently robbed her. The girl stopped away from her home all the week, and was found in very bad company yesterday in Emmett-street, Poplar. The girl had been once imprisoned for felony and sen tenced to hard labour. She implored the magistrate to save her child, and send her to an asylum, if he had thB power to do so. Mr. Selfe said he was afraid the girl was wayward and incorrigible, and that the only moans of saving her was to send her to a reformatory. The prisoner—Oh don't send me away, and I will be a good girl. Mr. Selfe—You have said, that before, and you are not to be trusted. I shall commit you to prison, and to be kept to hard labour for fourteen days ; and afterwards to be de tained in a reformatory school (where you will be taken care of and properly instructed, and I hope be made a good girl) for three years. Your father must pay 2s. a-week for your maintenance. Parents have to support good children, and they must support bad ones, and not leave them a burthen to the State. RACE WITH A BULL. Some forty years ago the managers of a racecourse near Brownsville, on the Monongahela, published a notice of a race, one mile heats, on a particular day, for a purse of 100 dols., " free for anythi ng with fourleelt and hair on." A man in the neighbourhood named Hays had a bull that he was in the habit of riding to mill with his bag of corn, and he deter mined to enter him for the race. He said nothing about it to any one, but he rode him around the track a number of times on several moonlight nights until the bull had the hang of the ground pretty well, and would keep the right course. He rode with spurs, which the bull considered disagreeable ; so much so that he always bellowed xvhen.they were applied to his sides. On the morning of the race Hays came upon the ground on horseback—on his bull. Instead of a saddle, ho had dried an ox-hide, the head part of which, with the horns still on, he had placed on the bull's rump. He carried a sligrt tin horn in his hand. H e rode to the judge's stlind, and offered to enter his bull for the race ; but the owners of the horses that were entered objected. Hays appealed to the terms of the no tice ; insisting that his bull had " four legs, and hair on," and that therefore he had a right to enter him. After a good deal of swearing, the judges declared themselves to be compelled to decide that the bull had the right to run, and was entered accordingly, When the time for starting arrived, the bull and the horses took their places. The horse racers were out of humour at being bothered with the bull, and at the burlesque, which they supposed was intended, but thought that it would be over as soon as the horses started. When the signal was given they did start. Hays gave a blast with his horn, and sunk his spurs into the side of the bull, who bounded on with a terrible bawl, at no trifling speed, the dried ox-hide flap ping up and down and rattling at every ju m p, ma ki ng a combination of noises that had never been heard on a race course before. The horses all flew the track, every one seeming to be seised with a sudden determination to take the shortest cut to get out of the Redstone country, and not one of them could be brought back in time to save their distance, The purse was given to Hays. A general row ensued ; but the fun of the thing put the crowd all on the side of the bull. The horse men contended that they wore swindled out of their purse. and that if it had not been for Hays' horn and ox-hide, which he ought not to have been permitted to bring`mpon the ground, the thing would not have been hulled out as it did, Upon this, Hays told them that this bull could beat any of their horses anyhow, and if they would put up a hundred dollars against the purse, he would take off the ox. , hlde and leave his tin horn, and run a fair race with them. His offer was accepted, and the manoY staked. They again took their places at the starting post, and the signal was given. Hays gave the bull another touch with his spur, and the bull gave a tremendous bellow. The horses remembered the dreadful sound, thought all the rest was coming as before. Away they went again, in spite of alt the exertions of their riders, while Hays gallopped his bull around the track and won the moaey.—The Weekly Leader (Toronto). STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, MAY 25.—The depression in nearly all kinds of yarns and cloths for India is quite as great as it was on Tuesday, and in some descriptions p r i ces are weaker. The business doing is very limit e d, an d i n some cases it is hardly sufficient fairly to test the strength of the Inarket, The buyers of cloths generally are restricting their purchases, and the aggregate business of the week has been inconsiderable. Home tiade buyers of yarns are doing but little, and prices are again rather easier. The same report is given of yarns suitable to the German ularketi ♦ %.li.„ - , FOREIGN MINES.

On the removal of the cloth, The LORD MAYOR gave the usual loyal and pa triotic toasts, with suitable prefaces, which were duly honoured, General CANNON and Admiral SEYMOUR respec tively returned thanks for the toasts of the Army and Navy. _ _ The LORD MAYOR said he had that evening en joyed the high honour of entertaining her Majes ty's judges, an honour which he considered to be one of the highest which had fallen to his lot since c lied arrived at the dignity of the distinguished position which he then occupied. The ability and impartiality with which the judges of the land discharged their important duties was so univer sally known and acknowledged that it was unne cessary for him to introduce his toast with further comment. He therefore begged to give the toast of her " Majesty's Judges," coupled with the tame of the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench. Drunk with all the honours and loud cheers. The Lord Chief Justice COCKBURN, in returning thanks, said he wa■ sure he only spoke the common sentiments of all the judges when he expressed his sense of the kindness and attention which they always experienced at the hospitable board of the Chief Magistrate of this great city. It was their anxious wish to discharge the important duties which devolved upon them with the strictest im partiality, and the experience of some years had taught this—that one of the highest incentives to the performanciof that duty, and one of the highest rewards, would ever be the approval of their fel low-citizens. (Loud cheers ) The LORD MAYOR next gave, " The Bar of Eng land," coupled with the name of Sir F. Kelly. Sir F.. KELLY, in returning thanks, alluded to the bill which had been repeatedly threatened for reforming the Corporation of London, and said ho felt confident that at all times when a member of the bar had a seat in the House of Commons, any bill which affected the interests of the citizens of Lon dun would be watched by them with the closest attention. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR next gave, " The House of Peers and Viscount Sidney," and " The House of Commons and Sir James Duke," when the noble lord and the hon. baronet respectively returned thanks. Viscount SIDNEY then in very complimentary terms proposed " The Health of the Lord Mayor," which was drunk with all the honours and loud cheers. The LORD MAYOR briefly expressed his acknow ledgments for the high compliment which had been so cordially paid them. Several other toasts followed, and at a late hour the company separated. The dinner, which was supplied by the Messrs. Rymer, comprised the delicacies of the season. The Coldstream Band, conducted by Mr. Godrey, played a variety of airs during the evening. Mr. Toole officiated as toast-master. FROM THE PEASANTRY TO THE PEERAGE.—The author of this novel is a private in the Royal Horse Guards Blue, who by devoting his leisure to study and thought has educated himself, a fact that should draw attention to his book independently of its intrinsic worth. The opening chapters display an intimate knowledge of country life, and there is evidence throughout the tale of the author's expe rience in almost all parts of the woad. He has studied the characters of all sorts of people, and most graphically painted them. The story is well and artistically told, and the scenes and characters exhibit all the marks of deep thought and careful observation of men and things, and a clear in sight into the workings of the human heart. The language h not merely good, but gracefully eloquent, and the novel will raise the author from the ranks of the army to the highest rank as a novelist. EXCESS OF IMPORTS INTO LIVERPOOL.—The un precedented import of cotton in Liverpool and the scarcity of storage-room were the subjects of another discussion at side e ta i the meeting of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Bo to the appropriation of the transit Committee ed atit yes terday lt was again stated that there objec tionswt.ehtraselleethgdalsearfebroathrde storage of cotton, and it was suggestedenhtoeatdheato/hleorw so as to induce persons should offer the warehou to ses ce a n t r ß e r it Mr. Rankin said that, within . the next few we e k, fiats. upwar ds would be a great convenience if something could be done of 250,000 bales would arrive Q i u n ay th s e c po om r ra t, to provide room for its storage.

The first commodity mentioned is chicory, the duty on which, from the 29th February, is fixed at 6s the cwt. On wine, from th e 29 t h February to the 31st December next, the duty on importation is to be 3s the gallon, with an allowance for drawback, and on and after the let January. 1861, without any allowance, the duty is to be, if imported in bottles 2s the gallon, or in degrees by the gallon,_vary ing from is to 2s. The commissioners of customs may by their order determine into what ports in Great Britain and. Ireland wine may or may not be imported. Allowances may be made on wine in stock. Then follows in the act an enumeration of a great variety of articles on which the duty ceased on the 3d March last. The paper duty on im portation is 14s the cwt. until the 15th August, and, " from and after that date, the duties shall be the same as the ex cise duties-for the time being on paper of British manufac ture."
