MONEY MARKET AND CITY IVE CITY, Two o'CLocK. The demand. for money has slightly increased, but the movement is not of importance, and the rates continue to range as low as 2.1 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 Pere, 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 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 alteration. 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 Itentes at previous quota tions. The market for Public Securities opened this 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 re-acted yester day afternoon. From 104 7 1 .7 it receded to 103 Z, 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, however, is given to the markets here by the favourable posi tion of monetary affairs. Consols have been 96 1 for money, and 961 for 'account, and they continue firm at these prices. The New Threes and the Reduced are firm at 951. Long Annuities have receded to 17. India New Stock is 1032- 3 ; ditto Scrip, 1031 ; but the Debentures (1858) have advanced to 96197 k. 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 to 70 ; Mexican is at 221; Portuguese 3 per Cents. remain at 46 ; Russian 41 per Cents., at 991 t; ditto 3 per Cents., at 671; and Venezuelan' 21 per Cents., at 284-; Peruvian 41 per Cents. have advanced to 914, 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 an:,,y has been apparent. Eastern Counties and Scottish North-Eastern declined ss. ; Caledonian, South-Western, and North-Eastern (York) A-; 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 1012 ; Grand Trunk of Canada were 381 to 39 ; and Great Western of Canada, 141 141. Joint-Stock Bank and • Miscellaneous Shares are at filightly advanced rates. London and West minster improved ss. to 10s. ; Oriental Bank, sc: ; Berlin Water Works are 5 to 51 ; Electric Tele graph, 102 ; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 761. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

A writer in a contemporary says :—The speed of the Great Eastern can hardly , be said to have realised the public expectation—in fact, under the fist favourable circumstances, with all the appli ances and press of steam brought to bear on screw and padlles they were only able to get 16 knots an 'lour out of her. If this is the highest amount of Peed attainable in trim—what would be the pro speed with cargo—say, from 10 to 12 knots an hou r . Thi s wou ld not exceed the maximum of °lir best sea-going steamers, which average from 12 to 14 knots an hour, and some few have attained a Freater speed—for instance, the Vivid, Hull steamer, as run f rom L o ndon with heavy cargo to the 1, J'ol - 4 - gin Light, a distance of 225 miles, in 15 hours a nd a half—being at the rate of more than 16 miles all hour. Again, the same vessel, deep-loaded, has run from London to Hull, a distance of 276 miles, in 21 hours, being nearly 15 Miles an hour. • groin this it does not appear that the advantages in building immense ships are likely to be commen surate with their enormous cost. It i s an axiom in science that all power to be effective should be concentrated, that is to say, "Might within a given distance, in order that the Power may not be diminished by the distance. But the Great Eastern is 700 feet long, which is a serious obstruction to her speed, with only one pair or paddles and a screw. What might have been effected with two pair of paddles and a screw it is not for me to say, though in all probability she Would have crossed the Atlantic in three or four days less time. Tim "rxr 1, RECK OF TTIE ALMA, INDIA MAIL STEAMIER.—OFFICIAL REPORT OF TIIE BOARD OF Y lt ArlE.—The Board of Trade, having rece!.ved the con - Vint report of Mr. Traill, the police magistrate, and Capt.

This was an action to recover £5 demurrage of a barge, laden with piles for some works 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. Dacndant denied his liability. lie was only agent, and the name of his principal was well known. lie never hired the barge.. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) CHAUNTRY STAKES, Plaintiff's witness said, a boy in defendant's office, or de fendant's son gave orders respecting the barge. Defendant said he was not authorised. 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 GlaPgow Three ran. Mr. Buchanan—No. Tha Courts only have jurisdiction in England and Wales. Wo must have a Scotch attorney, and the practice is very expensive. His Honour—Yes, it is a monstrously hard matter. If an Englishman owes a Scotchman a debt he 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. There is a prejudice existing in Scotland, and it is monstrously hard. I shall adjourn the case, in order that defendant's son may appear to give evidence upon the custom. KELSO .RACES.-('THIS DAY.)

STEALING A COAT.—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. Ho attempted to conceal the article when ho saw me, but I followed him, and having 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 befofe, 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 como out of prison, was fully committed for trial. ROBBERY AT THE COLONIAL-OFFICE.-A lad named Jackson, employed at the Colonial-oMo° 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. Eliglabeth Morgan said the watch produced was her pro perty. She missed it last night from the drawers, which had boon removed out of her room in order that the work men might repair the placd. The prisoner was ono of the persons so employed. Elizabeth Oldiff said ono of the rings produced was her property. It had been taken from her drawer without her knowledge. Police-constable 585 A said, he found the stolen pro perty in a box belonging to the prisoner at his lodgings in Little Erle-street, Sevea 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 thnilarly employed. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. STEALING A LETTEIL—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 cunsequoneo 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 prisoner, who declined saying anything, was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-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 Captain 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 tie brougham at the side of the coachman, Captain Allen, lire. Allan, 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. Tha 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 horso galloping at the time. The defendant was knocked off his box under his horse, and on pulling him out he found him to be very drunk. There was plenty of room for the defendant to have avoided the acci dent had he been sober. Mr. Beadon 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 he 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 R OB EERY. — 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, Whitecha pel. 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 bast clothes and put them away in a chest in the presence of the prisoner. Yesterday morning, after the prosecutor got up and went to hiswork, the prisoner remained in bed. Sometime afterwards his sister called him, and told him to get up for she was going to market. lie 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 when 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 he had worked hard for his " little bits of things," and it was cruel to bo robbed in this manner. Mr. Yardley—So it is, my good man.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER —TUESDAY. The attendance at the rooms was again numerous, and some spirited wagering took place. 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 up3U . 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 ; 1800 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. The 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.

Compared with Monday, however, no quotable change 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. Tho show of barley was limitel, 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.

'SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. ALDERMAN BEAUMONT, OF BRAVFORD.—Mr. Thomas Beaumont, surgeon, and one of the aldehnen of Bradford, died suddenly on Sunday even ing, of disease of the heart. The deceased gentleman, who was 64 years of age, was brother to the late Rev. Dr. Beau mont, whose death in 1855, in the pulpit, at Hull,was sudden.

His Imperial Highness has carefully and critically examined every part of the ship, and has bresif fasted with Captain Harrison in his cabin. 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, hexing 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 in undress 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 modern 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 cordiale 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 stopping, taking out the tompion and peering down the muzzle, in order, I presume, to see whether these are the ter rible Armstrong weapons of V.nielt stories have got afloat among our neighbours. The suite of Prince Napoleon consisted of M. Ron de la Pouciere, captain, Imperial navy ; Count Buanicki, M. Roca, com mander of the Daiphin ; M. Pisani, M. Ragon, and M. de Buiffon, aides de camp Viscount Clere, equerry; and Messieurs Choidetty and WYatt, 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 -.ern:Ting 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 7,300 or 7,000 were admitted, but these numbers are 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 lowerieg, and though at present the visitors arc flocking on board it no doubt prevents many of these 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. Sonic engineers have gone ashore without leave, and will consequently be dismissed, much to the gratification of those who have experienced their stubbornness and power of grumbling. These are the last of those men sent on board by Mr. Russell, so that now the entire s,ip 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. VOLUNTERI? 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 ho would submit the application of your proposed corps, that they alight 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 front the Secretary of State for War in an swer to a communication from his lordship submitting your request to Mr. Secretary Ilerbert.•—l have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient humble ser vant, " Ricirinn NICHOLSON, Cioik tO the Lieutenancy, " The Lord Radstock." " ' War-offico, Oct. 14 , " My Lord,—With reference to your lordship's letter of the 27th ult., stating that Lord Radstoek had requested permission to choose the uniform to be worn by the Oth 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-office 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 f which your lordship may not disapprove.—l have the honour to be, &c., " S. HERBERT. "< The Marquis of Salisbury, K.G., &c."' It was resolved that thesQ 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 beg heiewith to enclose a memorandum of a donation of £5O tint I havo this day directed my bankers, Messrs. Sir Samuel Scott and Co., to place to the credit of the funds of the Marylebono Volunteer Rifle Corps. So soon as you shall have verified it you will be pleased to transmit 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 convey to them the expression of my best wishes, and my conviction that the corps will be a credit, no less to itself than to that important parish, in the well-being of which we all tako so deep an interest.—Beleve me, faithfully yours, "JAMES JOHN llAmiuroN. 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 bad 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 latter respecting the additional issue of rifles to the dif ferent corps, when it was resolved— " That Lord Radstock be requested to apply for an extra number to the Mnrylebone Corps, the present members not having sufficient for their use." It was further resolved that the subscriptions already received be advertised iathc public papers, and thanks to the noble chairman closed the meeting. B RID G EWATER. 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 resolutions 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. lIULL. A meeting of the Hull Volunteer Rifle Corps was held on Monday at the George Inn, at which it was announced that Lord \Venlock had recom mended her Majesty to confirm the election of Mr. J. Walter Pease as captain, Mr. A. Bannister as lieutenant, and Mr. 11. Vincent Parker as ensign. The noble lord had also sen t th e 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 ail 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. Ho was thus made happy :—" His Excel lency the Governor having taken into consideration the petition of B. De Hoon, of Randy, praying that he may be permitted to marry again, has directed the petitioner to be informed that the governar has nothing to do with settlin.; matrimonial quarrels, but that his excellency thinks that a lhau who has not seen his wife for 20 years, may fairly assume that he will not see her again, and do his best to supply her place." AUSTRALLIX COLONIES. The growing wealth, prosperity, and importance of the Australian Colonies form one of the most in teresting and gratifying features of the present time. The checks Welch they. have occasionally experienced seem to have rendered their oaward progress only the more sure and solid. From each community additional proof s o f clic:le - 1y andenter pris(,-and of the success which waits upon these qualities, are showered upon- us by every mail. sixty years ago the colony. Of Victoria had not been discovered, and even alter colonisation bud nomi nally commenced so much 'negleeted was it, that the population t wo-and-t wenty years ago Numbered only 500 acids. It now amounts' to between five and six. hundred thousand, and is steadily in creasing. The productive and trading eaamcity of the colony may be estimated from the fa that the aggregate exports from Victorian ports in, the first half of the present year reached thirteen million sterling, and that during the last four years the shipments of gold produced there have ranged from ten to twelve millions annually. Its consuming cnpaeity is attested by the magnitude of the im ports, which in the first half of the present year are stated at an aggregate of £13,509,000, 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 tile annals of colonisation. The official estimate of the produce of the Customs at Sydney for the current year reaches the sum of L'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 1853 the supply of wool imported into Great British from British possessions, principally from Australia, amounted to 69 per cent. of the en tire quantity imported. Many of the banking and steal navi,,•ration companies is 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 duced. For one year-1858-zthe 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. 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 psesent results calculated to excite surprise, The revenue for the year ending the 30th of June last reached £464,320. The population increased between 1850 and 1853 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 sxports of the produce of the colony for the same years being respectiv e ly £29,079 an d £1,355,011. In 1842 the number of acres of land iu cultivation was 19,790, and 204,432 in 1858. The number of sheep in the colony during the interval increased tenfold, viz., from 331,000 to 3,108,501. This colony possesses an enduring source of wealth in its copper and other mineral deposits, which are 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. Iler 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 are and other minerals. The agriculturalcapaeity 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 New Zealand amounted to £360,820 - (being at. the rate of nearly a million and a half per annum), against £224,690 in the corresponding quarter of laseyear. The exports of wool for the first quarter of the present year reached £211,240, against only £54,118 in that of 1838. The local journals refer in gratulatory tei ins 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 discharge of all their public obligations, is proved by the marked appreciation of their securities in London. Colonial banks may be classed 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 exploratim 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 mote. 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 Antipcdes, whose value we are only just beginning to recognise, can be knit firmly to us.—Daily News. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING. THE NATIONAL BOARD OF EDUCATION. The Ultramontane Erening Yews 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‘Doncl, Chief Commissioner of the Education Board, to be replaced by Mr. 'John (Megan ; the removal'of several of the Protestant and f o rei g n professors acceptance andiligh officials is sket c h e d f or t h e i r lordships' and approval, the successors to the vacant offices to be Catholics. The rumour li:a created a profound sensation all over the city, and of course intense excitement prevails in Alarl 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 \Vight. LOVE, LAW, AND PRYSIC.--At the Westminster County Court on Tuesday was tried M‘Donald v. Ayck 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 conid not be expected to give such attendance at all hours of the night, and for ten hours at a stretch, without the ordinary fees. ylaintiff proved the attendance upon Mrs. Ayckbourn, who was in a very dangerous state. In his cross-examination. he said he had paid great attention to the case. Ho had "read up" on the subject. He had "read up" the autho rules 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 if, plaintiff (defendant's wife being enciente) offered to attend Mrs. Ayckbourn gra' uitously. Plaintiff often s pent . the evening at defendant's, and preset ibed for defendants wife. On the 15th March she miscarried, and plaintiff had a . , grea deal of trouble.
