-RONEY MA 'ln' NE II S. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, dur ing the last few days, have not shown much anima tion, and in some instances less firmness has been apparent in values. Tea, however, has been largely dealt in, and at fully late quotations. The better descriptions of sugars suitable for 110 nle consumption have been in moderate request at former prices, but inferior qualities have declined about 6d. per cwt. A limited amount of business has been transacted in coffee, only the better qualities realising former quotations. Rice continued inactive, but spices have been in fair demand at a slight advance. In fruit the deal ing's have been unimportant. Saltpetre has been dealt in to a moderate extent, and for tallow there Was a better inquiry, prices having shown an im proving tendency. Letters from Liverpool report that in the Cotton Itarket yesterday business continued rather active, and prices tended upwards. The sales were esti alafed at 12,000 bales. A rather large amount of gold, viz., £150,000, Was withdrawn from the Bank of England yester• day for exportation. The half-yearly dividend on the Louisiana State llonds have been advertised for payment. At the half-yearly meeting of the Unity Joint ,,stack Mutual Banking Association, h e ld t o -d a y, 'lr. Alderman Mechi presided, when the report, the following of which is an abstract, was adopted : The balance of profit and loss account for the half !ear, after making ample provision for bad and ueubtful debts, amounts to £2,421 55., which with 4:986 19s. 4d., the balance carried over on the 30th ° f hne last, leaves an available surplus of £3,408 48 . 4d. This amount the directors propose to dispose of as follows :—£1,500 in liquidation ° f preliminary expenses; £1,500 to the A lr edit of th e o ld l osses ; an d £4OB 4 s . ', i d. to b e carr i e d over f or t h e current h a lf- year. he chairman stated that the affairs of the bank W ere in a satisfactory position, and he hoped at the aext meeting to be able to declare a small dividend.

Consols opened steady at il et 4l f ar money, and they are now 94 1, being tin ter' in consequence of a few sales and the con nedefflux of gold, as w ell as the depression in the Renter.

This Day.) I COURT OF DIVORCE (Before Sir C. Cresswell, Mr. Justice Wightrnan, and Mr. Baron Watson.) BOYNTON V. BOYNTON. This was a suit instituted by Elizabeth Laura Boynton for a divorce from her husband, a younger Km of the late Sir Henry Boynton, on the ground of his adultery and cruelty, to which the respondent pleaded denial. It appeared that the parties were married in 1849, the petitioner being 17 years old and the respondent 27. At the time of the marriage the respondent retired from the army, in which he held the rank of captain. Sometime previouslyhe became acquainted with the petitioner, whose maiden name was Keeling, and who was entitled to pro perty amounting to £19,000 pounds. The mother of the petitioner had formed a second matrimonial alliance with a gentleman named Hodges, a captain in the army, and her daughter's marriage was without her knowledge. Mrs. Boynton, the petitioner, stated that she was mar ried to the respondent at St. George's, Hanover-square, and after the ceremony they left town by the Great Western Railway. When they reached Slough they were over taken by Captain Hodges, accompanied by her mother and one of her sisters, and, after an angry altercation between them and her husband, the latter was induced to enter into an arrangement by which he settled two- thirds of her money on her, and reserved only one third of the interest for himself. He did not settle any propeety of his own on her, though she understood that he was possessed of some at the time. After the marriage he took her to his father's residence in eorkshire, where she was treated very unkindly by his sisters. They afterwards removed to Bur ton Agnes, and there he commenced his ill-treatment. They then came to London, where he continued his ill treatment, from which her health suffered materially, and on one occasion he made her walk a quarter of a mile through the snow. The cause of his ill-treatment was the arrangement ho had been forced to make relative to her money. Sometime subsequently he had recourse to further violence, having dragged her out of a room and pulled her by her hair. While they were staying at Cheltenham, she asked him for £4lO or £5O, and he gave her a cheque for the latter amount. Sho forwarded it to Captain Hodgea to have it cashed, but in the meantime the respondent wrote to his bankers desiring them not to pay it, and it was returned to her dishonoured. In 1856 they went on the Continent for the benefit of her health, and while at Brussels some trivial dispute occurred between them at a shop in the town relative to the price of an article they were purchasing. On that occasion he dragged her out of the shop, pushed her along the street until they reached their residence, when he locked her up in a room. On their arrival at Nice he locked her in a dark apartment, and she was released from her confinement by a lady in the house, being at the time in a state of great agitation and distress. He also intercepted letters addressed to her from her family. On their return to England she gave birth to a child, but the respondent's conduct was un altered. They resided for some time at Beverley, in York shire, but the respondent neverintroduced her into society; and on one occasion he brought a person connected with the turf home to dinner, whose conversation was so coarse that she was compelled to leave the table. He left her at her mother's for a considerable period, during which he absented himself for weeks. At Brighton he walked about with a female, and did not notice her when they met in the streets. The petitioner then detailed various acts of a similar character until 1858, when he so misconducted himself that she determined to leave him, and went to her sister's. !ell! Several witnesses were examined, who gave corroborative testimony, and deposed to the commission of several acts of adultery by the respondent since his marriage, which closed the case for the petitioner. The case was proceeding when we went to press. 6 2 i SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Secondary Potter.) SERIOUS ASSAULT.-LE GRAND V. MASSON. This was an action for assault, defendant having allowed judgment to go by default. The jury now had to assess damages. It appeared that the plaintiff is a fruit salesman in the Borough Market, and defendant is the skipper of a vessel bringing over fruit. Some dispute arose, which led to de fendant knocking the plaintiff down, cutting his head open, and inflicting other injuries, which might have resulted in much more serious consequences. The plaintiff was called, and his counsel explained that the plaintiff could not speak English well, but it would be an additional expense in calling an interpreter. The learned Secondary —No doubt he will make himself understood ; it is not so difficult now as formerly. Plaintiff was then examined, and gave his evidenoe in a very candid manner. He admitted that there was a great deal on both sides. Defendant had told a great many un truths, and ultimately made an assertion against him (plaintiff), and he said, " you're a liar," on which defend ant struck him a violent blow, and knocked him backwards on the table in the Market-house, and his head was cut open, and he was rendered insensible ; he was taken to the hospital, where the wound was dressed, and he was after wards attended by Mr. Lacy, a surgeon. Ho had lost a good deal by the sale of his stock, which he had been obliged to sell through a commission agent. Mr. Lacy was called, and said plaintiff was very feeble when he was called in, and erysipelas had commenced, and the white of one eye was suffused with blood and swollen above the earner. The erysipelas was subdued, but it was at first very threatening. Ho had charged a guinea. The learned Secondary said that in some instances the words used by plaintiff might have justified a blow, but it appeared that the defendant had been the first to use lan guage likely to provoke an assault, and plaintiff was en titled to be paid for his sufferings and any loss he had in curred. The jury gave a verdict for £l5. THE7SUN,7I4ONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1860. THIS DAYS SHIPPING. LONDON, Jan. 27.—Wind this day at noou ) West; moderate breeze, and cloudy.

Joseph Coltart, of Liverpool, to sail from Southampton, for Sydney, New South Wales, at £l5 19s. ad. per statute adult ; to be ready for the reception of passengers on such day as the Commissioners may appoint between the 21st and 21st of March. CHARLES POERIO.—It iS with deep grief that we (Unions) announce the severe illness which has just attacked the illustrious Baron Charles Poerio. His health, which had suffered so much in the prisons of the Baurbon of Naples, is now threatened by typhus fever. All his old companions in misfortune are constant in their attendance at his bedside, and his house is filled with dear friends, who all express the most fervent wishes for his recovery. THE. GIFT OF LANGUAGES.—My friend was in England from 1843 to 1851, and how he can have been there so long and know so little of the language and every thing English would be unaccountable if we had not evi dence of how completely men can shut eyes and ears when determined not to use them. Instances are known in which emigres of the first Revolution returned to France, on the restoration of the Bourbons, without being able to speak a single word of English. Young France is learning English with a French accent, which gives our language a peculiar cadence; but the generation just beginning to pass away thought French enough to pass a man through the whole world. It may b 3 taken as a rule that a man nev er l earns the language of a nati on th a t l ea rns his, and vice versa— man never works when another will work for him. Every. body learns French, and a Frenchman seldom, if ever, speaks any language but his own : Nobody learns Russ, and the Russians are the best linguists in the world. Hence it is that a Frenchman is so much discontented when out of his own country. He cannot learn a language if he tries, and he is literally deprived of speech till ho gets home again.—Once a Week. . . LONDON, BRIG./17'0N, AND SOUTH COAS T BA.ILIFAY, HALF-YEARLY I VIE.V..TING—(THIS DAY). The ordinary half-yea rly meeting of the share holders in this undertal%ing was held this day at the Bridge-hpuse Hotel. LEO SCHUSTER, Esq.., chairman of the board of directors, presided. The directors report, which has already appeared in 'Re Sun, having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN said it was always with pleasure he met the proprietors, in. order to give an account of his stewardship. After alluding to several items in the capital account ho proceeded to notice the completion of the purohase of the West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway - , which, he said, would affovd the residents in the vicinity the best accommodation, and must fulfil all the advantages twat had been contemplated. With respect to the West-end Extension, as it was called, that would shortly be commenced, as the whole of the survey had taken place, and the pre liminaries all completed. The directors anticipated that the works would be completed in about two years. (Hear, hear.) The directors had thought it for the advantage of the company to make the necessary prepEtrations for authorising them to make a short line from Pulborough to Ford. The residents in that vicinity had now for some time been anxious for such a railway ; and the directors of the South Coast, after the failure on the part of those who proposed to make the line last year, had determined to take the business in hand. The line was about nine miles and a half in length. It was not an expensive one, and there would be no tunnels. From Ford it was proposed to carry on the line to Southampton, which was a port cf some business, a watering place ; and the making the proposed railway would, without doubt, prove advantageous to the company. The directors had also entered into arrangements with respect to a:line to Bognor. All these steps were of the greatest importance, be cause they would leave open no ground to parties residing in the district to invite other persons to make the lines. In making the additions to their line, the directors were not animated by any aggres sive spirit; they were only looking to their own do mains, which they were determined to cultivate to the utmost. After these proposed lines had been com pleted, he did not think the directors would be called upon for years to come to construct another mile of railway. (Hear.) The outlay that had taken place for improving and fish-jointing the permanent way was now producing the most economical results, as the accounts showed a saving of £2,331 as compared with the corresponding half year, which fully confirmed the advantages ex pected for improving and maintaining the line in the best possible manner. Under these circumstances the directors have continued relaying and re-ballast ing other portions of the line, and during the past year £11,484 has been so expended, and placed to the debit of the permanent-way improvement account. On the other hand, the increased revenue ad mitted of a larger amount being placed to its credit ; £17,000 had been so appropriated, making with £3,000 contributed in the previous half-year, £20,000 applied during 1869 towards the extinction of that account, being £13,000 in excess of the sum originally proposed to be annually so applied. The net amount at the credit of the revenue account was £163,753, out of which th• directors proposed the payment of a dividend of 3-} per cent. for the half-year amounting to £161,649, leaving a ba lance to the eredit of the current half-year of £2,104; thus making a dividend of 6 per cent. for the year 1859. He would not detain the meeting further, but in the event of any proprietor wishing for any information, he should have great pleasure in answering any question that might be put to him. The motion of the Chairman having been seconded, it was put to the meeting and carried unanimously. Mr. lIERAPATII—I have heard, Mr. Chairman, that the London and South Coast directors and those of the South-Western Railway are now on good terms, and that everything is going on amicably between them. Is that so ? The CHAlRMAN—Perfectly. (Hear, hear.) After a short conversation resolutions for the payment of the dividend mentioned in the report, and the re election of the retiring directors, Messrs. Coningham and Lawrie, was unanimously agreed to. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TIIIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. NEGLECTING TO PAY FOR THE SUPPORT OF A CHILD IN A REFORMATORY.—AIfred Austin, a tall, powerful looking labouring man, was brought up on a warrant, charged with neglecting to pay for the support of his daughter, Julia Austin, who is detained at a reformatory school at Hampstead, The prisoner, when he was:taken into custody, gave the officer considerable trouble, trying his utmost to escape. Inspector Brennan produced the order signed by the Secretary of State, authorising proceedings to be taken against the prisoner, upon which he was summoned before Mr. Beadon, and an order for 4s. a-week made on him for his daughter, who was now in the Rescue Society's Re • forinatory School, at Hampstead. There were seven weeks due on the order, amounting to 28s. The prisoner and his wife earned 303. a-week between them, and it was a case of wilful evasion of the order. The prisoner, who said he had no goods, no money, and no furniture, was then ordered to pay the sum of 28s. and costs, or be committed for 28 days. THAMES. SCANDALOUS CONDUCT OF PAWNBROKERS.—WiIIiam Ogilvie, of the firm of French and Ogilvie, pawnbrokers, of No. 207, High-street, Poplar, appeared before Mr. Selfe to answer two summonses, taken out by Ann Nightingale, a seamstress, which charged the defendant with unlaw fully taking in as pledges materials for the manufacture of two shirts, the same being in the course of manufacture. Repeated complaints have been made against French and Ogilvie by poor individuals for several years, and the ma gistrates have frequently condemned their loose and un satisfactory mode of doing business. A few weeks since Ogilvie was fined £lO for a violation of one of the clauses of the Pawnbrokers' Act, and Mr. Selfe then lectured him severely. The present case was a very flagrant one. The complainant had given out shirts to be made to several persons, who instead of returning them had pawned them with the defendant, who received them without making any inquiries. The defendant had seven dozen shirts not made up belonging to complainant. There was not a stitch in one of them. One woman to whom the complainant had entrusted the materials for making one dozen of shirts had taken them direct from her house to the defendant and pawned them. When she remonstrated with the defendant for receiving the goods he said, " You have no right to employ persons without taking security." The defendant had sent her four dozen and a half of shirts not made up since the summons was taken out. Mr. Selfe—Why, he has been doing this by wholesale. The Complainant—Yes, sir, and he has now two dozen and a half more shirts of the same description belonging to me. Not one of the shirts sent to me had been touched. They were just as I delivered them to the woman. I have a person in court who applied to Mr. Ogilvie for some of my shirts, and he has stuck to the ticket, and refused to part with it or to restore the shirts. He has put me to great in convenience and expense. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said he had already delivered two dozen and a half shirts to Mrs. Nightingale, and was now willing to give up the remainder. Mr. Selfe—That is not the question. You are charged with taking in unfinished work—work in the course of manufacture, and I have no hesitation in saying that your mode of doing business is highly discreditable. It is the worst pawnbroker's shop in the district by a long way. The defendant repeated that he would restore all the pro perty to the complainant. Mr. Selfe—That won't do. I fine you £1 in ono case for taking in eight shirts in course of manufacture, and 6s. in the other case for taking in two shirts in the course of manufacture, with 2s. costs in either case. Mrs. Nightingale asked how she was to obtain the re. mainder of her property. Mr. Selfe—lf the defendant will not give them up take out a fresh summons. The defendant—l will give up all the shirts. Mr. Selfe—You had no business to take one of them in. You received them of persons who had no right to pawn them. The mischief done by you- pawnbrokers, by lending money on slop work, is incalculable. It is a premium upon crime, and loads to wide-spread misery. SUDDEN DEATII OF A NAVAL OFFICER.— SOUTHAMPTON, Thursday.—William Valentine, third officer of the Sultan, Peninsular and Oriental Company, was found dead in his cabin this morning. An inquest was held on board, and no cause was assigned for his death. The inquest was adjourued for a post mortem examination. He leaves a widow and four children. The Zlilan Gazette speaks of numerous arrests made by order of the Au strian Government at Venice, and estimates the number at about 400. DRURI-LANE THEATRE.

The re ceipts comprise the sum of £4,000 for the year's rent from Mr. E. T. Smith. The payments com prise the sum of £1,350 19s. 7d. for four quarters' rent to the Duke of Bedford, and on account of the arrears due to his grace, and the sum of £9OO paid the trustees of the new renters. The four quarters' rates and taxes, and the ordinary current expenses of the 12 'months up to Christmas, have been paid. The committee have to report to the proprietors that in July last they deemed the period to have arrived when the public should be informed of the approaching expiration of the seven years' term under which the theatre had been held. Adver tisements, in accordance with former precedents, for letting the theatre, were inserted in the Lou don daily papers, but no tender was made within the period specified by the committee. The adver tisements were continued up to the end of August, when an offer of £4,500 annual rent, for seven years from Mr. E. T. Smith, led to a negotiation, which terminated in the renewal of his tenancy. In October a lease to Mr. Smith was executed for a term commencing on the 2d of December last, and ending on the Ist of August, 1867, all the material provisions of the former lease having been adopted, with Such alterations and additions as the further experience of seven years' occupation pointed out to be necessary. The committee concluded their re port by adverting with much satisfaction to the unprecedented success with which the lessee has commenced the first season under his new tenancy." Mr. T. M. NELSON, the architect, then read his report. The adoption of the report was then formally moved and seconded, and carried unanimously. The following gentlemen were then re-elected members of the committee :—General Sir William Codrington, and Messrs. Henry Collingwood Ibbet son, Arthur Pratt Barlow, Richard Spencer, Geo. Baugh Allen, and Joseph Arden (the chairman.) The committee then retired and nominated ttie following gentlemen as a sub-committee :—Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Mr. Henry B. Cores, Sir William de Bathe, Bart., Mr. Joseph Arden, and Mr. Thomas Rawlinson. A vote of thanks was next given to the auditors, after which they were re-elected. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. E. T. Smith, for the manner in which he had managed the theatre; and in doing so spoke in high terms of the honourable manner in which that gentleman had fulfilled all the conditions of his lease, and the promptness with which he was ever ready to carry out any suggestion the committee could show was for the benefit of the theatre. Mr. B. B. CABBItLL seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. E. T. SMITH, in returning thanks, said, though he had not been able to make the house what it had been, he had, in seven years paid them in rent £30,000, which h a d no t b een done before. (Hear.) He had endeavoured to obtain all the talent he could, and if he had not been able to obtain more than he had produced it was not his fault. He assured the meeting that he would do all ho could for the success of the house, and he hoped to meet for years to come the same kindness he had received thai day. (Hear, hear.) A cordial vote of thanks to the chairman termi• nated the proceedings. THE TREATY OF COMMERCE; The outline of the terms of the Treaty of Com merce with France furnished by the Patric seems to indicate that the reduction of the English wine duties is to be from the present rate of ss. 9d. per gallon to ls. per gallon (equal to 2d. per bottle) — an alteration which will, it is presumed, be general, and include all foreign as well as colonial growths. At the same time it appears that the French prohi bitions against our iron are to be replaced by a duty a little less than £3 per ton, and that woollen and cotton manufactures are also to be admitted at rates yet to be fixed, but which are not to exceed 30 per cent. As the clauses of the treaty are on our part to be brought into operation within a week or two, the impression produced in the wine market by the announcement has, of course, been considerable, business of all kinds being for the moment virtually suspended. At present many houses in the trade doubt the correctness of the statement, but should it be confirmed an immediate rise in prices will be expected. The drawback question will be one of keen anxiety, and probably of diffi culty. According to some estimates the paid duties on existing stocks would be found to amount to £2,000,000, but this is generally sup posed to be greatly beyond the true total. Under an order of the Inland Revenue-office in 1852 draw back can be claimed only on wines on which the duty has been paid within a limited period, the term for the red wines of Portugal and Franco being,two years, while for all other descriptions, including sherry, it is six months. There is another provision, also, which will have a greater effect in reducing, the number of claims—namely, that to entitle them selves to any return of duty whatever all dealers must have kept a stock book, showing every quan tity received in or delivered out, and embracing a separate entry of all wine exported—a provision which is thought in a very large number of instances to have been imprudently neglected. On the other hand, as the changes in France are to be delayed fo r a year and a haf, our iron, cotton, and woollen markets will, of course, not experience any imme diate influence. Assuming the rate of duty named for iron to apply to manufactured iron, it will be sufficiently low to admit of a large export trade from this country, since it seems to be about 33 per cent, less unfavourable than that of the Zollverein, in the face of which some of our goods can reach even Berlin itself. Any satisfactory anticipations that may be formed on this point must, however, be contingent upon the absence of local or Custom house obstructions, calculated expressly to create restrictions in a new form, which might become equally as potent as the old. On pig-iron the duty of £3 per ton would, it is believed, prove nearly prohibitory, but it is hoped that on that material the rate will bo different. Concerning the 30 per cent, rate on woollen and cotton manufactures the belief is that it will allow a large introduction of British cotton goods into the French markets,par ticularly in l©w qualities, and that there are certain descriptions of low worsted and woollen stuffs which likewise cannot fail to be taken in consider able quantities. A sanguine expectation connected with the entire movement is that France having hitherto been the great centre of trading restric tions in Europe all the other continental nations may now lose faith in their narrow systems and hasten to follow her in her first steps to reform.— Times. SHIPWRECK ON THE SUFFOLK COAST. LOSS OF FIVE LIVES. ALDBOROUGH, Jan. 25.—About two o'clock yes terday morning the brig Dallas, of Shields, foun dered on Sizewell Bank, during a very heavy gale of wind from S.S.E. Immediately after the vessel struck, the maskr and four of the crew took to her boat. The boat, however, was no sooner launched, than she instantly filled and capsized, drowning the five poor men. At break of day, when the wreck was for the first time observed from the land, the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution, stationed at Thorpeness, was without delay manned and launched, and afterwards pro ceeded off through the heavy breakers to the scene of danger, which was many miles from the land. After an hour's hard toil the lifeboat reached the wreck, and succeeded in taking off the rigging, in an exhausted state, the remaining three men, and in bringing them safely on shore. Two fishing smacks' boats, with their accustomed readiness, previously tried in vain to save them. Almost be numbed with cold, they had now despaired of being rescue) from their perilous position, and expected everymoment to be engulphed in the boiling elements, as their poor comrades had been a few hours before. Their joy was therefore great, when they saw the noble lifeboat riding majestically, like a living being, over the rising billows, approaching them, and shortly afterwards taking them safely into its charge. FLEETWOOD, LANCASHIRE, Jan. 25.—0 n Mon day night, during a terrific storm, the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Instituti o n on this station saved one man from the Ann Mitchell, of Montrose. Early the following morning the same valuable lifeboat put off and succeeded, during a heavy gale of wind, in rescuing the crew of six men of the Jane Roper, of Ardrossan. THE CLEVELAND IRON T RA DE.—At a meeting of the firms engaged in this trade , h eld at Middlesborough a few days sinc, the stocks on hand were reported to be 69,960 tons, while the orders received amounted to 167,700 tons. The' members of the trade will in future hold a weekly exchange meeting at Middlesborough every Tues day. THE SLAVE TRADE.—Two large Blue-books (marked A and B), contain a voluminous correspondence with the British Commissioners at Sierra Leone, Havan nah, the Cape of Good Hope , and L oan d a ; an d repor t s f ro m British Vice-Admiralty Courts, and from British n aval officers, relating to th e slave trade, from April 1, 1858, to March 31, 1859, presented to both Houses of Par liament by command of her Majesty.
