MONEY MARKET AND CITY A T E if B. CITY, Two o'CLocK. More animation has prevailed in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days, and prices generally have shown an upward tendency. For tea, however, the inquiries have been very limited. Sugars have slightly advanced, particularly good. and fine grocery qualities for home consumption, and in the refined market higher rates have been current for dried descrip tions. Coffee at public sale remained at firm quo tations. Sound and fine kinds of fruit continue in demand. For rice and spices there have been steady inquiries. Saltpetre remains moderately active, but no change was apparent in prices, and tallow has been dealt in to a fair extent at 595. 6d. to 595. 9d. for present and forward delivery. Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with rather more anima tion, and previous rates were firmly maintained. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. There is very little alteration in the general dis count market, which remains quiet, and without any change of importance as regards the terms of accommodation. A steady inquiry is reported for commercial purposes, and parties engaged in dis count transactions are not disposed to negotiate first-class bills under 2 per cent. The first report of the Madras Irrigation and Canal Company has been issued, preparatory to the meeting on the 27th inst. The directors congra tulate the shareholders upon the present highly tatisfactory position and prospects of the undertak- st I ng• '. It dwells at some length on Trombuddra pro. J▪ ed, the reports on which are very encouraging, Si and gives a general view of the proceedings over a period of two years, during which time the preli minary expenses amounted to only £2,770 17s. 3d. A sum of about £15,000 in bar gold was taken from the Bank of England yesterday for transmis sion to the Continent. The market for English Securities to-day has 1 6 4 presented rather a quiet appearance, and the quo tations have denoted increased heaviness, a de cline of nearly per cent. having taken place. The transactions, both real and speculative, have been very limited. Consols have been 961 1, and they are now 961, with a downward tendency. The heaviness of the market is increased by the telegrams from the Paris Bourse, which report further symptoms of uneasiness in the Rentes. The New Th rees h ave rece d e d t o 94, 1 95 ; the Reduced to 9-11-, 951; and Exchequer Bills to 28s. prem. Bank Stock is firm, at 222 to 221; India ditto at 2211 to 223 ; ditto New is heavy, at 1034 ; ditto Scrip 1021 ; and the Loan Deben tures are 97.

This bankrupt was described as of Puckeridge, Herta, grocer, and came up for his certificate on accounts by Messrs. Butler and Cannings. An examination took place. His Honour said, as regarded the figures of the accounts he had no doubt that they were correct—the bankrupt's statement had been challenged, which would form a ground of future application. At present he (his Honour) would leave all questions for the certificate meeting. Passed accordingly. IN RE GLADWELL. This bankrupt was described as of the Poultry, whole sale dealer, and obtained a certificate of the first class. The accounts by Messrs. Hart Brothers and Co. IN RE lIA.RIIER. This bankrupt, described as of Littlo Bentley, Essex, came up for his last examination. Accounts by Messrs. Hart Brothers. The total debts were £5,800. Assets about £2,000. Bankrupt passed. SIIERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) COSTS ON JUDGMENT SUMMONSES-LYNES V. HOOD. This was a judgment summons, and had been adjourned from yesterday, as neither plaintiff nor defendant appeared. Mr. Beard thought that plaintiff's presence could be dis pensed with. His Honour said plaintiff must attend and give evidence as to defendant's means. _ _ Plaintiff now appeared and said he was a tailor, and had supplied defendant, who is in a good situation, with two suits of clothes. He was still in an excellent berth. His Honour committed defendant for 20 days. Mr. Beard applied for his costs and was -refused, his Honour observing that he had no power to order costs on a judgment summons. He saw by the newspapers of this day that a great deal was going to bo done, and perhaps this matter would be introduced. A WOMAN WITH FIVE lIUSBANDS-LIABILITY OF THE PIETR-TILURSTON V. PAYNE. This was an .ction for goods sold and delivered to Mrs. Payne. His Honour—Who had all these chops and steaks ? What is the defence ? • Mr. Buchanan—The defence is that plaintiff trusted a woman who has been convicted at the old Bailey for bigamy—defendant having been her fifth husband. His Honour-1 suppose defendant was living with this extraordinary woman at the time. There is cohabitation, and in law these things being necessary he is liable. Mr. Buchanan—My client will prove that he gave the woman plenty of money for the house. Plaintiff—He promised my daughter payment. Defendant—l deny it. His Honour—We must have the daughter hero. This case will be adjourned till the last court day in the month, and defendant had better produce all documents. BEVAN V. PAY NE. This was a second case against the same defendant, and plaintiff, who is a grocer, swore to a promise to pay, and called a witness to the same effect. Mr. Buchanan called defendant, who denied it. His Honour recollected the case of the woman who had been convicted before Mr. Justice Wiles in August last. Defendant must pay. If it had been a case of diamonds or shawls, the matter might be different, but these things were necessaries. Defendant was a very unfortunate man, and had married in a hurry. He would make a rule to pay in ten days. The plaintiff would adopt a wise course, and give time. There was an immense number of orders against the poor defendant, and if he was committed he would lose his situation under Government. This was a very bad case, and he should advise defendant to call his creditors together. Mr. Buchanan would be able to make them listen to reason. Mr. Buchanan—l think that will be the best course. His Honour—There may be a lot of other cases against him, and it is very awkward for him. If pressed, he will be discharged. If, in the other case, Mr. Thurston's daughter proves a demand for the bill, it had better be settled. Defendant—l went round to the tradesmen expressly forbidding them to give credit. It is supposed that the authorities would not discharge the defendant, under all the circumstances, if he were to seek relief, under this peculiar position of affairs. STOPPING THE CLASHING OF THE COURTS.--THE MUTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION V. WICKLN. This 'Was a judgment summons, and Mr. Beard, for de fendant, put in his discharge by one of the commissioners of the Insolvent Debtors' Court. His Honour said he could not make any order. He con sidered the judgment was disposed of by the other court. This settles a vexed question. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS--THIS DA Y. (Beforo Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge, at Guildhall, Westminster.) THE QUEEN V. PETERSON-THE RELIGIOUS DISTURBANCES IN ST. GEORCIE'S-IN-TIIE-EAST. This was a prosecution against John Peterson, instituted by the parish authorities, for having, with several other persons not indicted, disturbed a congregation assembled for Divine worship in the parish of St. George-in-the-East on several occasions. Tho Assistant-Judge asked if there was no course open to save this painful inquiry. Mr. Sleigh said they only wanted to be protected from interruption. Mr. Sergeant Bellantine said, on the part of the defen dant, he denied the faets. Tho Assistant-Judge said that the prosecution could not be blamed for the course which had been taken on the facts stated ; but the only power the Court had was to in flict a pecuniary penalty, which could not be the object of these proceedings. lie would put it to them whether it would not be better really to withdraw them. Mr. Sleigh said, having consu'tdd with his friend Mr. Poland, they would withdraw, and hoped they should not again be called upon to invoke the power of the law. A verdict of not guilty was then taken, which was re ceived with some applause in court, but this was imme diately suppressed. _ _ . - - The . proceedingsisfit.hieenndste.rminated, and the defendant lefl the court with his POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-',THIS DAY. MANSION-HOUSE. Henry Judge, a boy about 12 years of age, was charged with stealing coupons and bonds of the value of £6OO or £7OO, the property of Mr. A. Johnstone, insurance broker, Royal Exchange, his master. _ . Mr. Johnstone said that coupons and bonds for £1,060 were stolen from his safe, also some money out of the desk. The prisoner had cashed 19 coupons at the bank, and re ceived nearly ZGO in money. The prisoner was in his em ployment as clerk about eight months. John Dirvan, clerk to Messrs. Glen and Co., pro duced nine coupons cashed on the Bth Oct. Edward Walker, clerk to Mr. Johnstone, said that £4O or £5O had been missed from the drawer. The prisoner admitted he had taken £l7 out of the drawer, and ho took from his pocket £l2 10s. and gave it to witness, and said ho would try to make it all up. Witness allowed the prisoner to go till yesterday, and on making up the books, he found LIS deficient, including £29 for merly discovered. The writing on the back of one of the coupons is the prisoner's handwriting. Cross-examined by the prisoner —In August, twelve sovereigns were missed from the drawer, and not discovered. Mr. Johnstone's sou had taken some money from the drawer for commission. The drawer was left open during 'the night. Mr. Johnstone was recalled and said the cash in the drawer was his son's, who is in business for himself and not connected with the Insurance Office. The pri soner was not in his service. Witness did not know there was any deficiency of cash in that drawer. Cross-examined by the prisoner—Witness thinks the prisoner told him he had taken home the bonds to cut the coupons off them, as ho had some difficulty in doing so. The prisoner was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. IMPORTANT TO CARRIAGE OWNERS.—Geo. Skinner, a rough-looking fellow, was charged as follows : Sergeant Silverton, of the A division, said that about seven the previous evening he was in Park-lane with 108 C, both in plain clothes, wh,n be saw the prisoner coming through Grosvenor-gate with the ba g p roduced under his arm, and make across the road to a small enclosure, where several carriage cushion-covers had recently been found. He stopped him, and asked what was in the bag, and on his (Silverton's) examining - it ho found that it contained a large quantity of horse-hair, and which, from its com pressed state, had evidently been just taken from a carriage as b e t e h n e e v a e n r y . i a g c e o s m ‘ m v e o r n e colflsl going hati ra b' p et i i d nh i ge y t a Po O sa n eci ;, iec a e n the size thenheuicsillitioohnt had e them to the most con venient place, transfer the horse hair to a bag carried for the purpose, and then to throw away the covers, some of which had recently been found. Two or three robberies of the kind had taken place in the park yesterday evening. On asking the prisoner where he got it, he made the com mon answer, " That a man gage it to him to carry, told him to follow him, but that he had missed him." Mr. Bingham said that he might assist the police in find• ing the man, and he would remand him for a week. ANNOYING A DOCTOll.—John Somerland, a member of a German band, was charged with annoying Dr. Frere, of THAMES. IMPUDENT BonnEnY.—Caroline Harris, aged 35, and described as a washerwoman, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing 240 yards of printed cotton from the shop of Mr. Abraham Keasley, linendraper, of No. 1, Albion-place, Commercial-road East. Francis Morris, shopman in the employ of Mr. Keasley, stated that he saw the prisoner and anothar woman looking at the piles of cotton print in front of the shop yes terday evening. His attention was diverted for a moment, and, upon turning round again, he saw the prisoner's com panion remove several pieces of cotton print from a pile and walk away with them. The prisoner walked by the side of her confederate. He went after the two women, and the one who had the cotton print dropped it in the pave ment and ran away. The prisoner picked up the cotton print and ran as fast as her load would permit her, into Belgrave-street, by the side of Goldsmith's and Blyton's premises. He overtook her in Belgrave street with the property in her possession. She said she picked up the print, and tried to get away, but he held her fast until a policeman arrived. Police-constable Pople, No. 238 IC, said that when he took the prisoner into custody. the prisoner said " I did not take it ; it was on the pavement, and I picked it up." The prisoner pleaded guilty, and asked for mercy on ac count of her dear fatherless children. Mr. Yardley—This woman has been here before. Inspector Griffin, of the K division, Roche, the gaoler of the court, and other officers, said the prisoner had been in custody before on more than one occasion, but they could not tell when the last conviction took place, or for what offence. The prisoner declared she had never been in custody before, and that many constables looked at her in the cell, and could not identify her. Inspector Griffin—l have seen the prisoner in custody here. Mr. Yardley—l know the prisoner's face well. She has been here several times, and I have no doubt she is a most incorrigible thief. Tho magistrate then sentenced the pri soner to six mouths' imprisonment and hard labour, and in conclusion said—" This is the last time I intend to com mit you summarily, and next time you are brought before me I will commit you for trial if a case is made out."

THE VICTORIA CROSS. (From the Gazette of this evening ) WAR-OFFICE, OCT. 21. The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned officers and private soldier of her Ma jesty's Indian Military Forces, whose clai us to the same hare Been submitted for her Majesty's approval, on account of acts of bravery performed by them in India, as recorded against their several names, viz. : Major Charles John Stanley Gough, sth Bengal European Cavalry—First, for gallantry in an affair at Khurdowdah, near Rhotuck, on the 15th August, 1857, in which he saved his brother, who was wounded, and killed two of the enemy. Secondly, for gallantry on the 18th of August, when ho led a troop of the Guido Cavalry in a charge, and cut down two of the enemy's sowers, with one of whom he had a despe • rate hand to hand combat. Thirdly, for gallantry on the 27th of January, 18.58, at Shumshabad, where, in a charge, he attacked one of the enemy's leaders, and pierced him with his sword which was carried out of his hand in the melee. He defended himself with his revolver, and shot twoof the enemy. Fourthly, for gallantry on the 23d of February, at Meangunge, where he came to the assistance of Brevet-Major 0. H. St. George Anson, and killed his opponent, immediately afterwards cutting down another of the enemy in the same gallant manner. Brevet-Major Robert Hayden Shebbeare, 60th Bengal Native Infantry—For distinguished gallantry at the head of the Glides with the 4th column of Assault at Delhi, on the 14th of September, 1857, when, after twice charging beneath the wall of the loopholes Semi, it was fou a nd im possible, owing to the murderous fire, to attain the breach. Captain (then Lieutenant) Shebbeare endeavoured to reor ganise the men, but one-third of the Europeans having fallen, his efforts to do so failed. He then conducted the rearguard of the retreat across the canal most successfully. He was most miraculously preserved through the affair, but yet left the field with one bullet through his cheek, and a bad scalp wound along the back of the head from another. Captain Herbert Mackworth Clogstoun, 19th Madras Native Infantry—For conspicuous bravery in charging the rebels into Chichurnbah with only eight men of his regi ment (the 2d Cavalry Hyderabad Contingent), compelling them to re-enter the town, and finally to abandon their plunder. He was severely wounded himself, and lost seven out of the eight men who accompanied , him. Lieut. Henry Hammen Lyster, 72d Bengal Native In• fantry—For gallantly charging and breaking, singly, a skirmishing square of the retreating rebel army from Cal pee ; and killing two or three Sepoys in the conflict. Major- General Sir Hugh Henry Rose, G.C.8., reports that this act of bravery was witnessed by himself and by Lieut.-Colonel Gall, C. 8., of the 14th Light Dragoons. Lieut. Harry North Dalrymple Prendergast, Madras En gineers—For conspicuous bravery on the 21st Nov., 1857, at Mundisore, in saving the life of Lieut. G. Dew, 11th Light Dragoons, at the risk of his own, by attempting to , cut down a Velaitee, who covered him (Lieut. Dew) with his piece, from only a few paces to the rear. Lieut. Pren dergasewas wounded in this affair by the discharge of the piece, and would probably have been cut down had not the • rebel been killed by Major Orr. He also dis:innnishedhim , self by his gallantry in the actions at Ratgurliand Betwa, ' when he was severely wounded. Major-General Sir Hugh Rose, in forwarding his recommendation. of this officer, states :—" Lieut. Prendergast, Madras Engineers, was spe . cially mentioned by Brigadier, now Sir Charles Stuart, for the gallant act at Mundisore, when he was severely wounded. Secondly, he was specially mentioned byme when acting voluntarily as my Aide-de-Camp in the action be fore besieging Ratgurh, on the Beena river, for gal lant conduct. His horse was killed on that occasion. Thirdly, at the action of the Betwa,' he again voluntarily acted as my Aide-de-Camp, and distinguished himself by his bravery in the charge, which I made with Captain Need's Troop, her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons, against the left of the so-called Peishwa's Army, under Tantia Tot ee. He was severely wounded on that occasion." Private Frederick Whirlpool, 3d Bombay European Re giment—For gallantly volunteering, on the 3d of April, 1858, in the attack of Jhansi, to return and carry away several killed and wounded, which he did twice under a very heavy fire from the wall; also, for devoted bravery at the assault of Lohari on the 2d of I\lay, 1851, in rushing to the rescue of Lieut. Donne, of the regiment, who was danger ously wounded. In this service, Private Whirlpool i eceived 17 desperate wounds, one of which nearly severed his head from his body. The gallant example shown by this man is considered to have greatly contributed to the success of the day. MEMORANDIM—Ensigm Everard Aloysius Lisle Phil lips, of the 11th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry, would have been recommended to her Majesty for the de coration of the Victoria Cross, had he survived, for many gallant deeds which he performed during the siege of Delhi, during which he was wounded three times.

A WOMAN ONE HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS OF AGE.—There is now in Liverpool a singular person, named Elizabeth Roberts, or "Betty Roberts," as she is familiarly termed by her acquaintances, who, according to her own statement, was born in Northop, Flintshire, in June, 1749, or in the 22d year of the reign of George 11. She has thus attained to the age of 110, and from present appearances it is possible she may survive many years longer. " Betty" resides at•the back of St. Martin's Market, Scotland-road, and almost every fine day she may be seen on the south landing-stage, or about the markets and other public places in the town. The landing-stage is her principal resort on Sunday afternoons, where she generally attracts round her a group of persons, who, astonished at her great age, as well as amused by her loquacity, frequently drop her a few cop pers, although it euz,ht to be stated she never solicits cha rity. Her frame is shrunken and withered, but still she is erect and steady in gait, and with stick in hand she boasts that she can yet manage to walk three miles an hour. She attributes her extended life in a measure to her simple habits, and states that she has never used any intoxicating liquors. TRAVELLING EXTRAORDINARY.—A singular in• cident occurred on Friday last, at the station of the Great Western Railway, Gloucester. A little girl, the child of re spectable parents living in the vicinity of the railway, it ap pears, rather late in the evening was close by the rails, and strolled into a horsebox, into which she was enabled to get inconsequence of the carriage being then on a siding. Hero the little thing fell fast asleep, and slept so soundly, that in a short time afterwards some of the porters went to the car riage, and subsequently a horse was placed in it for convey ance to Hereford. Undisturbed by these movements, and undiscovered by the porters themselves, the child slept on, and the carriage being attached to the 8.15 p.m. train, she and the horse were soon on their way together. At about half-past nine they reached Hereford, where, of course, the animal had t;) be ronoved, and the astonishment of the por ters there may be better imagined than described at discover ing so.very unusual an occupant of a horse-box. The child was still asleep. On tidings being learnt respecting her, she was sent back to Gloucester next morning, her parents being much pleased at her restoration. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—Last week an accident of a somewhat singular nature, though serious in its re sults, occurred at the soda water manufactory of Whitby and Co., Orange-grove, Bath. As the foreman, Thomas Burrows, a careful young man, was engaged in filling bottles with soda water, one exploded in his hand with a report like that of a gun, and the splinters flew in all direc• tions ; the force of the explosion may be estimated when it is stated that one of the splinters cut through a thick jacket he wore at- the time, and penetrated the flesh of his wrist neatly to the bone, severing some of the sinews of his fingers, whereby it is feared the sufferer will be de prived of the use of his fingers. It is customary, we under stand, for the persons when tilling the bottles at these ma nufactories, to wear masks and thick gloves to guard against accidents ; but the young man ' on this occasion, had neglected to put the gloves on, and hence the serious result of - the explosion.—Bath Chronicle. THE TRADE AND SHIPPING OF THE PORT OF HULL.—The tonnage of the shipping of the port of Hull will this year exceed that of last by from 100,000 to 150,000 tons. The consequence is, owing to this excess of tonnage, that freights have been and are unremunerative. The timber houses complain of the heavy imports, and we learn that grain, seed, and other staple articles yield Lttle or no profit. The immense quantity of imports has, however, the advantage of supplying the labour-market, and an inereafed number of persons are employed in the seed- crushing trade. The deal carriers and labourers generally are also in full work. With this increase of labour the price of food has been reasonable, and the working class in the main have but little to complain of.
