MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The money market still exhibits a very easy and quiet appearance, owing to the increased supplies and the temporary diminution in the demand.

New Thirds - Most of the Joint Stock Banks have now held Si their half-yearly meetings, and the results have proved' more satisfactory than could have been anticipated. Many of the establishments have been only a short time in operation, yet theyhave returned si dividends which ought to. satisfy even the most sanguine shareholders, more especially as trade during the past year was conducted on a compara tively limited scale. The attention of the public will now be more particularly Airected to the half- g yearly meetings of the various railway com panies, and already numerous estimates are circulated of the probable returns of the principal lines. There is reason to believe that in many instances these will be of a satisfactory character, for the traffic during the last six months has considerably improved, while great economy is presumed to have been exer cised in the management of the various undertakings.. It is satisfactory to notice that the weekly earnings of the principal S. lines continue to improve, and, from the general expansion of trade, it is anticipated that the results of the current half-year will prove even more satis factory than those of the last six months. There has been a firmer market to-day for Public Securities, but the transactions have again been on s a very moderate scale, because the speculators are I doubtful whether the improvement reported yes terday on the Paris Bourse will be maintained. s Consols are about 95t- I for money and account ; but there is scarcely any business in progress. Bank Stock has declined to 227. The New 3 per Cents, and the Reduced are marked 96,1 -1-. The June Exchequer Bills are 365., and the Bonds are 1001. India Loan Debentures are depressed at 99a, and the Bonds 245. prem. Increased buoyancy has been apparent in Foreign Securities, and citiotations are in some instances rather firmer.

EAST WORCESTERSHIRE ELECTION.—We under stand that Mr. Pakington, son of the First Lord of the Admiralty, has consented to stand for East Worcestershire on the Conservative interest. Denis Shea, charged - with being a member of the I Phcenix Club, has been discharged from the gaol of Cork by a special order from Dublin Castle. A French political offender, exiled to Cayenne, who escaped six months ago, was on Saturday arrested in a coffeehouse at Brussels, on the charge of bearing a false name, SIR E. B. LYTTON.—The mainsprin of his career is ambition. He was early smitten w ith the passion to excel, the u nconquera b le desire to make a great name and position for himself in the world. But his ambition was not of a narrow, selfish kind—the mere lust of power and desire to rule; it was the more generous ambition of the scholar and the statesman, the philosopher and the poet, as its working throughout sufficiently proves. lie was resolved to become great, to distinguish himself amongst his fellows by wise words and noble works. But he early recognised the truth that greatness can only be obtained by breadth and force of intell ec t ; an d exercise being the condition of strength, he devoted himself with quenchless ardour to the cultivation and development of his mental powers. And the notion of culture he formed on leaving college, and which he has preserved faithfully in the main ever since, is a catholic and true one. In order to secure depth and harmony of mental power, he deter mined to devote himself to a life of blended thought and action, and this determination is the germ of his literary and political career. In one of his vacation rambles while at Cambridge he first dreamt the dream of authorship on the banks of - Windermere, and before leaving college the dream became a reality. On the other hands, he distin guished himself as a speaker in the political club of the Union, and was elected president of that undergraduate Parliament. He seems, however, to have been a better writer than speaker, and literature at this time had greater charms for him than politics. Nevertheless he did not lose sight of the hope inspired by his ambition of distinguishing himself in Parliament, and eventually taking part in the government of tho country.—Literary Gazette.

THIS DAYS MARKETS. ing the publichouse the prisoner followed the prosecutor for half-an-hour. He frequently endeavoured to get rid of the prisoner, but all his efforts were in vain. She clung to him for some time until they reached the Westferry-road, Pop lar, when she suddenly left himand run away. He immediately missed his money and ran after the prisoner. Upon over taking her she made a determined resistance, and " showed fight" like a man. The prosecutor called out police, and Summers, police constable, No. 372 K, soon made his ap pearance, on which she spit from her mouth a half sove reign and said, "That is all I have belonging to him." The policeman struck herunderthe chin while she was attempt ing to swallow some money, and she disgorged from her mouth Bs. 6d. in silver, and said "That is all I have got." She was taken to the station-house and searched by a female, who, found upon her a sovereign and a knife which the prosecutor identified as his property. The female searcher said, " There are three sovereigns still missing, what have you done with them ?" The prisoner said, " The rest of the money will be found—l.:have swal lowed it." The prisoner, in defence, said the half-sovereign and the silver belonged to her ; it was her own money ; the sove reign was given to her by the prosecutor. Gleed said he gave the prisoner no money, and he did not court her company. The prisoner, declaring her innocence and refusing to plead guilty, was committed for trial.

(Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL.-MONEYPENNY V. MONEYPENNY. At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel in this cause, yesterday afternoon, the Lord Chancellor reserved judgment. APPEAL.-ESPIN V. PEMBERTON. This is an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir It. T. Kindersley. The contention is whether the appellant, unregistered assignee of a lease and bill of sale of furniture, has an equitable incumbrance, on mortgage, on the respondent's. legal right to the property purchased by him in ignorance of the appellant's unregistered equitable assignment and bill of sale. . Mr. Glasse, Q.C., is now being heard for the appellant. The appellant contends that it was the duty of the respond ent to make all due and necessary inquiry respecting the incumbrances upon the property in question before he pur chased it, and in particular to call for production of the title-deeds of the property. If he had done so he would have known of the appellant's incumbrance. But as he did not do so he is postponed to the appellant's equitable incumbrance and bill of sale over the property. It is pro bable the arguments will occupy the whole of this day. (Before the Lords Justices.) APPEAL.--JAILLON V. IVANS. This is an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls, dismissing the plaintiff's bill with costs. The contention is, whether the plaintiff is entitled to three• fourth parts, or shares, of the American Patent Candle Company, and whether the money obtained for the sale of such patent is the money of the company, or the money of the assignees or patentees, and in what propor tions—whether throe-fourths or one-fourth. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., is now being heard in reply for the appellant. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Preddergast, Q.C.) PHILLIPS V. BATIER..--FOREION BANKERS AND LOST NOTES.-IMPORTANT CASE. Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the plain tiff, and briefly set forth the facts as follows :—On the 6th April, 1857, plaintiff, a glazier, working in London, called upon defendant, foreign banker and money changer, of Leadenhall-street, and purchased a Polish note, value 10s., which he posted to his wife in Poland. Upon the 17th August, in the same year, he called upon defendant and informed him that the note had never reached Mrs. Phillips. Defendant said that if plaintiff would pay the fee, ls. 6d., he would stop it, and if not recovered in twelve months, he would pay plaintiff for it. Up to the present time the note had not reached plaintiff's hands, neither had it been paid to Mrs. Phillips. On one occasion, plaintiff understood that the note had been paid. Plaintiff and a witness were called and deposed to these facts, and the promise to pay if the note was not forthcoming at the expiration of 12 months. For the defence, an agent, who appeared for defendant, contended that he should not be called upon to pay until the note was produced, as he might have to pay it twice. Mr. Beard said there had been a distinct promise to pay, and plaintiff had waited the prescribed time. His Honour thought defendant was liable, and gave plaintiff a verdict with costs. SUNDAY TRADING IN PETTICOAT-LANE.-IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.-TIIE LORD'S DAY ACT AND TAE JEWS.- GRZIMESH V. PAINE. This was an action to recover the sum of £7ls. for a gold watch and chain sold and delivered to defendant. Mr. Perry (from Mr. Buchman's) appeared for de fendant. A great deal of evidence was given on both sides, and various statements were made, and it appears from them that plaintiff keeps a stall at and in a public-house on Sun day in Petticoat-lane. There it is usual to trade in this way, and purchasers have the entree on the free list of the house ; if nothing is purchased, the visitor spends three pence in the house, and this kind of dealing is customary during all hours of the Lord's -day. On the 14th of Novembgr, which was Sunday, defendant called upon the plaintiff dining the hours of divine service for the purpose of paying an old debt. Plaintiff asked him if he did not require something else, and after much -pressing) defendant took a watch and chain, saying he had a cus tomer, and would return with the money in the course of the day. Mr. Perry objected to plaintiff's recovering this debt, if debt it could be called. By the Lord's Day Act plaintiff was clearly prohibited from recovering. His Honour did not like objections of this kind, but was bound by the law to take them. Plaintiff—But I am a Jew, and it is not my " Lord's Day." Ido not consider lam bound. His Honour—lt does not matter—it is the law of the laid, and you are bound. If two Jews contract a debt between them, as debtor and creditor, on the Lord's Day of this land, the debt cannot be recovered at law ; but I don't like these objections. y Mr. Perry—ln justice to t.ahtechdehfeanvdinaligtibtiOr Isc must he has derived no benefit from the transac thiorperson ondedBa. that to whom he entrusted the watch His Honour considered the saajection_ta_hafatal- and toitg Sminfra4-XSID CONTRIBUTORS. -JONES V. THICKE. This was a singular action brought by a late shareholder in one of the " classes" of the British Mutual Loan Asso ciation, to recover interest on £7 retained by the class against his will. It appeared that it was the custom for the contributors to pay £1 per month for 50 months, and then the profits were divided. The class to which plaintiff contributed was rather unfortunate, and plaintiff gave notice that he desired to draw out his money. (By one of the rules of the class, the person who made the first application for his money was first entitled to have it returned to him.) To this application plaintiff was told by letter that his demand was unreasonable and unjust. However that might be, after considerable delay, and the proffer of his money, less 15 per cent. discount, in the present year plaintiff received his in full, and some statement was made as to the rate charged upon loans, and plaintiff said that the solicitor who appeared for the society was a director and a borrower upon those very terms. The Solicitor said that plaintiff ought to be very glad to get his money in full, as some of the contributors had re ceived theirs minus 25 and 50 per cent. Plaintiff—Yes, and having had money to pay off other - people, you now refuse me interest for money detained - against ray will. His Honour —But these classes are generally very good things, are they not ? Solicitor—Yes. But this was an unfortunate one. Plaintiff —I admit that I have derived great benefit from some classes, and derived profit from the amount charged as interest, as I consider every man has a right to put his money out to the best advantage, but I never kept another man's money from him when he required it. (Applause.) His Honour—You cannot recovel the amount claimed, Mr. Jones; Plaintiff—l submit to your Honour's decision with plea sure, as I always do. I had another object when I came here.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATROCIOUS CASE OF VITRIOL T }MOW'S G .—Mary Allen, a laundress, was charged with throwing a quantity of vitriol over the person of Mary Ann Allen, of 57, York street, City-road. John Head, 89 E, said that at a quarter past three on the previous afternoon he was called to the King's Head pub lic-house, Crown-street, Soho, and was there informed by several persons that the prisoner had thrown a quantity of vitriol in the face of the prosecutrix, completely saturating the whole of the upper part of her dress. He then took her into custody, when she said she would go with him. and that she did it. The in jured wom an was holding her is done hands to her face, and in excruciating agony at the time. He got the assistance of another constable (Hill, 84 C), and sent the prisoner to the hospital, she having got a quantity on her own person, and then conveyed the injured woman to the Middlesex Hospital. The pint pot he now produced, and from which the prisoner had thrown the vitriol, still contained a small quantity, and a bottle also, found on the prisoner, had con tained some also. The whole of the upper portion of the injured woman's dress was burnt. Mr. Bingham having inquired 'whether the injured woman and the prisoner were related, wasinformed by Mr. Inspector Steer, of the C division, that the prisoner claimed to be the wife of the man the injured woman was living with. The following certificate was then handed in Middlesex Hospital, Jan. 26, 1359. " This is to certify that Mary Ann Allen has been brought to this hospital, and remains in an unfit state to be removed. " Wm. H. Rix, House Surgeon." The injured woman, it is understood, has lost the sighl of one of her eyes. The prisoner, who said she meant it for the man, and no for the woman, was then remanded for a week. • THAMES.

Captain Goldsmith, C. 8., the superintendent of Chatham dockyard, has received directions from the Admiralty, authorising him to inform the heads of the departments and officers connected with the several establishments of the dockyard that under no circumstances will they be permitted to be in any way connected with any . political patronage committee that might be in existence in the neigh bourhood, and that dismissal from her Majesty's service would follow any infringment of their Lordships' order. The various officers have also received orders not to interfere in the slightest degree with the votes of any of the artisans or workmen. Her Majesty's ship Centurion, 80, encountered a frightful storm of thunder and lightning in October last near Corfu. The ship, on the 29th, at 130 p.m., was taken all aback in a squall from north west, with thunder, lightning, and rain. A heavy flash of lightning struck the ship and passed off by the conductors, which are reported to have had the paint stripped off in several places below. The branch under the bowsprit appeared as if it had been in the fire. No damage ensued. The flash was so close that it seemed as if a broadside had been discharged. A large waterspout appeared as if coming towards the ship. It was dispersed by one of the forecastle guns. Such was the fore,* of the electrical action on the state of the air at the time the discharge struck the ship that a marine stand ing on the forcastle was for a time stunned by the shock, but was not otherwise hurt. The lightning conductors now common in the Royal Navy are said to have saved the ship's masts. Monday, in Charge of - ot tne Devon port Steam Reserve, and of Mr. Dinnen, inspector afloat of steam machinery, is fitted with trunk engines by Messrs. Penn, of 800-horse power. She attained an average speed of 11.4 knots, under a pressure of 201 b., with 52 revolutions. Consider ing the freshness of the 1 ,•eeze and the degree of swell on the result of the trial was satisfactory. It is expected that she will go out again. The Doris has on board all her heavy armament, viz., on the main deck, 2010-inch Paixhan guns, usually known as 84-pounders, and on the:upper deck 10 58 cwt. 32-pounders ; he will also carry two revolving solid-shot 18-inch guns, weighing 95 cwt. each. The ship is all ataut, and ready for the pendant. The steam-vessel Locust, Lieut.-Commander J. B. Field, now having damage repaired in the Basin at Sheerness, is ordered to complete repa.rs with all possible despatch, and proceed to Hull to take the station of the Sandfly, Lieut. Moore, during her repairs of damage, also by collision. A letter dated 24th Nov. last at the Mauritius, from her Majesty's sloop Persia, says—" The cap tain's steward died on 31st January last when off Rio. Samuel Martin and Evans were invalided home from Rio. Some merchant seamen have been shipped since we have been out. We left the Cape on the 18th March for the Mozambique, and have only . been favoured with one mail since. The Persian got on shore just off the Island of Mazotte, and the Admiral has sett her here to get he damage repaired. When completed she is to go to th9 Cape, where all letters for the ship remain waiting our arrival there. She is a very comfortable ship ; Captain Chad and all the officers are first- , rate officers ; no laxity of discipline, every man turns to with cheerfulness, and the ship's duty goes on admirably. The Admiral came up to the Mozambique in the Boscawen. He had no boat swain. There are only three officers now in the gun-room viz., Kerr, Shott, and Linquest. Nothing has been done in regard of captures•up to this date. esa Orders were received by. telegraph on WednaY a t Devonport to commission th e screw steam sloop Gannet, 11, forthwith.

The Detroit Free Pres — s, prol-slavery organ, thus describes what it calls this terrible and unheard of calamity :—" An elopement and marriage took place on Saturday which was a little out o f the usual line, sufficiently so, we imagine , to satisfy.the most craving appetite for the n ovel and disgusting, both of which we have — t he latter in s ufficient i qu antity to turn any white stomach n existence. A young girl named Sarah Judson, whose fattier lives on a fine property a mile or two from Pontiac, eloped on Saturday an d came to Detroit. The partner of her flight was a black man, who has been . in the employment of her father for some . time in the capacity of farm hand. The first. intimation that the father had of the intention of . the parties was conveyed by the fact of their flight. They immediately crossed over to Windsor, upon reach ing this city , full y sensible that they could never accom plish their unnatural designs on this side, as no official or clergyman could have been found who would have so far transgressed the bounds of decency as to unite the couple, the appearance of the girl being such as would forbid the union in the mind of any sensible man, to say nothing of the law in the case. Some person was found in Canada who performed the ceremony, however, and the two N vere made one. They are now in Windsor , en joying the sweets of the honeymoon. The father of the girl is a red-hot abolitionist, of the whole hog or nothing, nigger as good as anybody !style. For a long series of years he has disgusted his neighbours with his ranting on abolition and amal gamation, of which he was disposed to abate not a jot or a tittle from it sutmostlimit. In order that he .might not be said to preach what he did not practise he made it a point to treat the numerous coloured persons whom he from time to time em ployed as on a par with his own family. .These. doctrines he inculcated upon the understandings of his children, and he has the sup reme satisfaetio n of witnessing, as the practical result of his teachingst: his own daughter clasped in the embrnaccenothfu. greasy nigger, willing and ready, and iliance with siastically reciprocal, m the sweet u arr . iving brother of the girl came on the.n.enx which lovers delight to celebrate thteici'ra their where here on Sunday, and asertalin.ei p d g her to return. nions The abouts, went to her and o think of going was happyin his arms, an couldn'tb•other at such a sight She was contented, howlirnr,l back. The emotions. of la ° v i ed her ebony half, than described . Some men can better be imagined t taught that it was no sin blow, but he had beenn that his young sister should against. God or b ma a ce !of a negro, would have blotted out thiacir disgrace with a single and at the same repose in the em r . .in om th e e face and say she was He wen ' tnas he had come, alone. The girl is about eig lateen . Years old.

The matter has caused an intense excitement in the neighbourhood where the parties are well known, the girl having been born and Heiress, e t i e r i e r s i s b , l w e brought up where her parents reside. It is difficult toimagine any train of circumstances by which a young and intelligent girl could be brought to form a connexion So repugnant to all the senses ; yet the fact exists. - A more complete retribution fo r the crime of fanaticism we never heard of. The least we can -wish is that the father, undoubtedly well cured of his beliefs by this time, may . be able to save his young daughter from the terrible future ) which now opens to her." ,nthe lYe are glad to learn that the South-Eastern Railway have offered to the widow of the Rev.
