MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEW S. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Increased withdrawals of gold from the Bank of itngland are now reported, £103,000 having been sent away yesterday, and as the movement is ex pected to continue, an impression prevails that the Bank of England Directors will soon find it neces sary to modify their discount regulations. Not only are the exports to the Continent actively maintained, but larger consignments of silver are now despatched to the East, and the effect upon the money market is likely to be important unless extensive arrivals of Australian gold aro speedily announced. Subjoined are the particulars of specie on board the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer China, which leaves to-morrow, tho 20th, for India and China : Alexandria, gold Ceylon, do. Madras, do. Do., silver Calcutta, do. Do., gold Hong Kong, do. Do., silver Penang, do. Fow-Chow, do. Shanghai, do. Total £547,609 At the meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of London, held to-day, Sir James Shelley, M.P. presided. The report was passed unanimously, and a dividend at the rate of £5 per cent. per annum, free from income-tax, was declared. Mr. Benjamin Scott was appointed auditor in the place of Mr. Richard Hartley, deceased, and after some discus -11011 a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, directors, manager, and general officers of the comp any. The half-yearly meeting of the London Joint- Stock Bank has been held to-day, and the report, Which was adopted unanimously, stated as follows : The accounts which the directors have now the pleasure of s ubmitting to the shareholders show that the net profits re ['tilting from banking operations during the last six months, %Mount to £71,530 Os. 5d., and which has been appropriated •s follows : X 37,500 0 0 in x p l r pe e r n e t e o n f tu a m d p ivi er d a en n d nu a m t the rate of 33,000 0 0 in payment of a bcmus of 11s. per share 1,030 0 5 transferred to th e guarantee fund £71,530 0 5 Is consequence of the great dimimiti,on of the profits of the half-year ending on the 30th June last, occasioned by the de preciation during that period in the valuation of Government and Indian Securities held by the bank 4 the directors have de termined that for the future the fluctuations on such securi te,ll:ll4ll be adjusted through the medium of the guarantee and it is expected that by this arrangement the future Pe diottl. dividends will be more nearly equalised. , r he re -valuation of these securities on the 31st ultimo, as e°lll Pared with the rates current on the 30th June last, showed A t p r ofit of £24,171155., and this sum has been carried to `ue credit of the guarantee fund, which now amounts to *229 ,389 18s. 11d. Market from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with a very active appear- W ee, and prices of all descriptions tended upwards. T he sales amounted to 15,000 bales. In the Rail /aY Share Market, business was rather quiet, and ilintations were barely supported.. The Atrato has arrived from the West Indies 11411 £99,400. At the forthcoming meeting of the Scottish `lllstralian Investment Company a. dividend at the tat e of 10 per cent. per annum will be proposed. , The minimum rate o f di scoun t, a ft er rema i n i ng t r ` 2 1 per cent, f or a per i o d o f s i x mont h s, h as b een raised to 3 per cent. to- d ay, the B ank of England -41 ectors having considered so m e r es t r i c ti ve mea sure necessary in order to check tll .e efflux of gold, 413 . d to adj ust the i r regulations mmee in accordance vlth the tendency of the money market.

The prompt publication of the Chester Cup Handicap in the daily papers caused some activity at "the corner," although the room was but poorly attended. Time, how ever, was chiefly occupied in perusing the spring handicaps in the Calendar, which was laid on the table during the afternoon. For the Two Thousand 7to 2 was the highest offer against The Wizard, who would have been backed for money at half a point higher. 4to 1 was taken, at different times, to £l5O, about Buccaneer, and a disposition was evinced to back him, coupled with Lord Portsmouth's other colt, Plum Pudding. Lupullus was in zenewed force, and was strongly supported at 7 to 1. For the Chester Cup, two of John Scott's, Longrange and Viatka, enjoyed first favouritism ; about the first-mentioned 25 to 1 was eagerly taken, but subsequently no more than 20 to 1 could be obtained ; 33 to 1 was taken freely about Viatka. The other animals quoted were backed for small sums only-- chiefly in isolated bets. For the Derby, 900 to 100 were laid aginst Umpire, and no more than 10 to 1 offered against Thormanby, who could have been backed for much money at 11 to 1. The other quotations call for no comment.

To-day's market was moderately supplied with beasts, in fair averago condition. Most kinds net a dull inquiry, at a decline in the quotations realised on Monday of 2d per Bibs.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES iLN BRITISH COLUM BIA.--Her Majesty's ship Plump( r . :arrived at Eaquimault on the lst November, from Nar tar no, having coneluded her surveying operations on the n Prthorn part of the Strait of Georgia for the present season. During this cruise se veral new anchorages have been Rs covered and surveyed between Nanaimo and Cape Law (or Point Ifolnies as it is sometimes called) a distance of about 50 miles. But perhaps the most important di: orrery is the existence of a considerable river in Vane saver's Island, navigable for boats or small stern-v filoel steamers, on the banks of which are extensi ro tracts of excellent land, varying from 20 to 100 feet in elevation, and clothed with a rich luxuriant gran R. This land is ready for the plough, is entirely clear of tl le pine tree, and studded here and there with a better kin of oak than is usually found on the uleared lands of V incouver's Island. This river, which has received the nam eof Courtenay, in honour of Admiral Courtenay, who form, sly commanded her Ma jesty's ship Constance, in these • -waters, empties into a good and spacious harbour, Por A ugus ta, which lies in about 49 degrees 36 minutes ncrtl i latitude, and is scarcely 50 miles from Nanaimo. Major Downie was on his way down from the Upper Pram r River region by the Lino:cat trail and Port Douglas. There were reports of his having made some valuable geogr. iphical discoveries on his journey from the coast to Port A t T e) :ander, among which were a chain of likes extending a for ,g the route 150 miles, so that steamers drawing 12 inche 1 c if water can navigate a distance of 100 miles further than a teamers drawing four feet, which latter run on Senas rer, and a practicable portage of 40 miles will then reach 'ort Alexander. These reports are looked upon at Victori a a a important, as, if true, the upper mining districts will be I am 'h more accessible than heretofore, being brought almost • wit( } fin water communica tion of Victoria.—Cailadiati News" NEWMAIWET CR.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.) APPEAL. - YUDGMENT.-PEARCH Y. LINDSAY. This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood in favour of the plaintiff. The contention was whether the plaintiff was entitled to brokerage and commission on freights of ships from Lon don, Liverpool, and Havre, with iron to America at two per cent.—one :half and one quarter per cent. in terms of agreement. Their lordships delivered judgment at great length, and unanimously affirmed the decision of the Vice- Chancellor, and dismissed the appeal with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. TIM CASE OF TIIII JUVENILE SIIOPLIFTERS.—On the magistrate (Mr. Bingham) taking his seat en the bench this morning, the three little girls—Eliza Moore, 12, Louisa Moore, 9, and Elizabeth Moore, B—charged witk stealing woollen gauntlets from the shop of Mr. Foster Smith, hosier, of 'Coventry-street, and also from the shop of Mr. Bycroft, hosier, of Leicester-square, were brought before him by Welsh, the gaoler of the court, who stated that from inquiries he had made he ascertained that they had been greatly neglected—their father having gone to Australia, and their mother being addicted to drunkenness. Sine, the children were at the court before they have greatly improved in appearance, being now clean and wholesome, and seem very intelligent children. A communication having been addressed to the magistrate from the School of Discipline (late School of Reform), Queen's-road West, Chelsea, a valuable institution, insti tuted by Mrs. Fry and Mrs. Shaw thirty-five years ago, and under the presidency of the Marchioness if Cholmon deley, to the effect that they would lie admitted, Mr. Bing ham signed the order for that purpose, and directed that they should at once be taken there, where, he said, he was sure they would be well and properly taken care of. As great public interest has been expressed re specting the continuation of Lord Macaulay's " History of England," and some mis-statements have gone forth, we feel it desirable to announce, on the best authority, that some progress had been made by Lord Macaulay towards the completion of another volume, and that a portion of the MS. is fully prepared for publication. Circumstances, however, will probably delay for some time the appearance of any further portion of the History. The mortal remains of the late Lord Londes borough will be removed from Carlton-terrace on Saturday for the family seat, Grimston Park, previously to their in terment in the family mausoleum on Tuesday next. DEATH OF LADY COWLEY.—We regret to an ncunco the death of Lady Cowley, whose dissolution took placo yesterday at noon while on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury at Hatfield. LORD CLYDE.—W e (North British Daily Mail) hear that immediately on Lord Clyd e 's r e t urn t o E n gland he will claim the band of one of the fairest daughters of an ancient but untitled Scottish house. We omit, at present, from motives of prudence, to announce the lady's name. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WEIGHTS FOR THE CHESTER CUP.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln your issue of the 14th inst., a paragraph is quoted from the Bombay Times, extracted from the columns of one of your contemporaries, in which the attention of the public is specially drawn to the fact, that the only mark of remembrance to those who perished at Cawnpore had been " erected by 20 men of the 32d Regiment." The writer adds—" Possibly, if the truth were known, these 20 poor soldiers were punished for being absent without leave ; for what leave could have been given them, to single themselves out so honourably, to the shame of their comrades—a whole army—and the especial shame of their officers ?" As the Colonel commanding the 32d Light In fantry, I beg to state that the above supposition is as untruthful as it is ungenerous. These 20 men arrived at Cawnpore during the hot season of 1857 from England, on their way to join their regiment, at that time beleaguered in Lucknow. They then and there, at Cawnpore, raised the cross to the memory of their murdered comrades, their wives, and children who formed (prior to the mutiny) the depot of the regiment, under command of the late Capt. John Moore, so distinguished for his bravery in Sir Hugh Wheeler's entrenchment. It was impossible, therefore, for the soldiers of the 32d Regiment, still shut up in Lucknow, to join their 20 companions in this good work at Cawnpore. I may be allowed, further, to mention that the 32d only returned home in August last, and that steps were at once taken by the corps for the erec tion of suitable monuments, both in England and in India, to the memory of our comrades who fell at Lucknow and Cawnpore.—Your obedient ser vant, J. CARMICHAEL, Lieutenant-Colonel 32d Light Infantry. Cockfield Rectory, Suffolk, Jan. 16. COUNT CA VU UR' 8 RETURN TO POWER, (From the Times.) Matters are righting themselves. Civilisation is once again marching ahead. Every event which now happens tends to dissipate doubts, to revive fainting hearts, and to spread throughout Europe a comfortable confidence that peace, and order, and reasonable liberty are coming back to spread their influence over the civilised world. Might is once again on the side of right. The great intellects of the age and the honest minds of the age are assum ing their proper places—peacefully and as of right, and not spasmodically and by violence. As in those etchings which illustrate some wild German story the triumph of the Good Principle is made appal ent by the rage and frenzy of the demons who are disappointed of their prey, so in our Europe of to-day the noisy clashing of all our elements of ignorance and social ill serves but to testify how true must be the policy which is causing them such great disquiet. There are in this 19th century classes which represent what the mass of mankind was in the dark ages. There is in every Roman Catholic country in Europe the poor peasant who tills the earth, but is as untaught as the beast he drives ; whose religion is but a super stition, as unreasoning and as uninformed as an African's fetish worship ; who has animal com bativeness just as a dog or a game cock has animal combativeness ; and whose Toice and hand are at the command of the nearest master who can arouse his simple instincts. This crass herd of untaught human creatures is now made to give weight, by their hoarse chorus, to long tirades of frantic abuse which the priests are pouring forth against the quiet progress of truth; They have howled at every light which has risen uyon the earth. Their pagan fathers howled at Christianity ; they have howled at the philosophy which taught them that the world revolved, they have howled at education, they have howled at the Bible spread open to the people, and now they are howling at freedom. It is a noise, and nothing more ; but when it comes loud and strong it testifies that some light is rising which their masters hate. It is contemptible to all ourjudgments, and to none is it more contemptible than to those who, scornfully denying the peasant's right of private judgment, yet call these demonstra tions forth. But if we would be safe in treating them with scorn we must marshal our intelligence, and place the proper men at the head of those who are labouring for the advancement of the human race. It was quite time that the great experiment which is now being worked out in Italy should be relieved from the unfair condition of circumstances under which it was labouring. It was no trifling sacrifice of old pride, and ancient civic vanities, and long-cherished traditional dislikes, when Milan and Florence and Parma and Bologna resolved to adopt as their common object an annexation to Pied. mont. Certainly it was not any special love for Piedmont or any special reverence for Turin which inspired them with this vehement desire. It was not that they desired to become Piedmontese, but that they yearned to become Italians. The straight stick might despise the crooked stick, and the long stick might hold the short stick in some contempt ; but they knew that it was only by com ing together that they could become a fagot. There were but two men in Piedmont who understood this apparently obvious fact. One of these was Victor Emmanuel ; the other man was Count Cavour. Count Cavour has been from the commencement of the transactions which have given shape and sub stance to the kingdom of Italy the Garibaldi of the Council Chamber. Through evil report and through good report, in rashness and in prudence, by right and sometimes by wrong, when some men hoped and when all other men despaired, Cavour was always labouring for Italy. He was not a Pied montese, for he recklessly perilled all the interests of Piedmont for even a chance of Italian unity. He was Italian, and nothing but Italian. He was not only the master worker, but he was the type of the cause of Italy. If Cavour was floating on the surface, the stream was running favour ably ; if Cavour had disappeared, he had been borne down by some current adverse to Italy. Villa. franca came, and Cavour disappeared; and the Italians looked on in distrust, almost in despair. When the Congress was proposed, an interval of painful suspense intervened until it was known that Cavour was to go there for Piedmont. Then Italians embraced each other in the streets, and said with joy that all Italy would have a voice at Paris. It is not only Turin which cherishes the name of this man. Go to Milan or Florence, and look in any trinket-shop—you will see, cut in cameos, and wrought in mosaics, and moulded in statuettes, and set in every species of breastpin or bracelet or brooch, a little stout figure which answers to no conception of Italian art. Every Italian, however, is indignant if you pronounce the delicate homage of wearing such an orna ment ridiculous —for that is Cavour. There may be men who admire Flint', or Farini, or Buoncompagni, but the Italian people recognise only Cavour and Garibaldi as the steadfast friends of Italy. In his absence nothing went well. When he went down Italy went down. The Government of Piedmont became a Government of Piedmont, and nothing more. Miserable little selfish jobbers, who saw in a great revolution only a provincial opportunity ; small men, whose only idea was to use the rest of Italy to the profit of Piedmont, and to find good places for particular Piedmontese— these were the people who came to the surface when Cavour departed. The trial of the persistency and patriotism of Lombardy and the other provinces was very great. We have published warnings from time to time that such a state of things could not long continue. Milan and Florence could not shut their eyes and suffer for ever. No self sacrifice in Cavour and Garibaldi could always hide the shameful slights and petty jealousy of which they were made the objects. Mazzini was creeping on to the scene, and lurked in the back ground; Como, Cremona, Crema, and the Duchies were all overshadowed by his influence, and there was great reason to fear that the patriotism of the Italians would snap under the tension of the Turin rule, or that their patience would be exhausted, and the apostles of violence would have their day. Every danger of this kind is ended by the return of Cavour to his proper position at the head of the Sardinia' Government. This fact is doubly sig nificant, for it tells us not only that an Italian policy will henceforth rule in Turin, but also that an Italian policy will be permitted and protected from Paris. The area of Italian rule is widening ; what will it not soon comprehend? Venice we may hope to see become again Italian by purchase ; but how will Naples fare when she is cut off' from her natural allies,—when she has no Austrian army in Italy to come to her assist ance, and when the Pope is no longer able to keep her in countenance by acts of tTr . antly. and deeds of blood ? At this moment the king C o t t Naples is acting as those confiding Neapolitans act who build their little white villas half .ivauyi. his Vesuvius. Ferdinand 11. bates no one jot prerogative to do evil.

A crowd of Neapo litans gathered under the windows, and among the crowd was this young man. The armed police made an onslaught ou the sightseers, wounded some, and made many prisoners. The prisoners were carried before tt court-martial, who proposed to shoot them offhand, and it is seriously affirmed that they were only prevented from doing so by the energetic representations of the French Minister. The young man to whose arr es t we are a ll u di ng escaped, but, as it was thought probable that ho had been remarked by some of th e po li ce agents, he left the Neapolitan territories for some time. Upon his return he was immediately arrested and his house searched, but, as the authorities acknow ledged without finding in it any paper of a politioal character. Thus, some Neapolitan citizens were wounded, some were in danger of being shot, and one has, after a long interval, been arrested, simply for standing to look at the illuminated windows of a foreign ambassador. How dry must be the eld- - rnents of combustion laid up in such a kingdom as this, and how readily will they catch fire when. Cavour shall bring his kindling influences close up to the frontier ! FREE TRADE IN FRANCE. The Emperor of the French, there can be little doubt, though not an autocrat, is now the most powerful monarch in the world. He possesses far more weight and influence, exercises more un bounded power and sway, and possesses far greater prestige, than the Autocrat of all the Russias. Napoleon 111., unlike Alexander 11., has raised himself to the highest station from private life ; and, what is more difficult, for a period of now nearly ten years has maintained himself at the head of the most high-spirited and civilised, yet the most changeful and fickle, people in the civilised world. This is evidence of consummate tact and manage ment, as well as of the highest political ability and wisdom. Yet, with all his courage, with all his address and good fortune, it must be admitted that the task which the Emperor of the French has now entered on is one exceedingly difficult, requir ing all his nerve, energy, and tenacity of purpose. Napoleon 111. has elected at the beginning of this auspicious year to do battle at one and the same time with religious bigotry and commercial mono poly ; and in his encounter with these moral monsters every honest Englishman will wish the French Sovereign good speed, and hail his victory with loud acclaim. Clergy and corporate interests may both oppose his Majesty powerfully, but if he only boldly throw himself on the French people, and on the mass of right-thinking men in England and Europe, who have no interest in perpetuating religious intolerance, or in sustaining the monopoly of any one class of the community, he is sure of a certain, if not a speedy victory. Yet, it will be a victory keenly contested. The priests and prela ture of Rome aro, as every one is aware, unscrupu lous adversaries, and, like the Moors, delight in ambuscades and masked batteries. The monopo lists of France will, however, combat more fairly and boldly than the monks and Jesuits. But the one class of men will contend as strenously to save their own pockets at the expense of France and the world as the others will fight for the temporal Go vernment of the Pope at the expense of the happi ness and prosperity of Rome, the Marches, and the Legations. Foremost in the opponents of the newly proposed tariff will undoubtedly be the chief proprietors of forests. This opposition, led on by Marshal Soult and M. Decazes, in the time of old Louis Philippe, frightened the citizen King, and drove him from his first intentions as to a treaty of reciprocity with England, some seven or eight and twenty years ago. The total extent of ground covered with wood in France now is as great as it was in 1832 or 1833. It amounts to 17 millions of acres, or one-eighth of the territorial surface of the kingdom ; and there are forests found in every de partment of the eighty-six, fostered in their growth and culture by the undue encouragement given to the smelting of iron by the heavy duties which were it) 1811 and in 1822 laid on the importation of foreign iron. But, notwithstanding the number iml wealth of forest proprietors and maitres de forges, none of tin in have the least political weight, influence, or ability, or courage enough to enter on a course of systematic opposition. The Em peror of the French is sure of the support of the majority of the Chambers against this interest —he will be sustained by the mass of consumers throughout the nation ; he will be sustained also by the intelligent and educated opinion of France, and the enlightened public opinion of England, of America, and the world. What cares he, - then, for the men of dear wood and of dear and indifferent iron, who would make France and England suffer to minister to their own private gains? Some Nor mans, sonic Orleanais, and some proprietors of the eastern provinces and the Ardennes may write pamphlets and make speeches in the Senate or in the Conseils Generaux against the imperial scheme, but here the opposition is likely to end. A cry, probably as loud as that uttered by the owners of woods.:and tnaitres de, forges will be raised by the beet-sugar growers, for France is the largest producer of beet-sugar in the world ; but as the origin of this industry cannot be traced beyond 1807, and as 40 years elapsed before the manufac turer of the sucre de betterave was enabled to cope with colonial sugar, it is evident that it is an indus try which has been nursed, and dandled, and spoon fed, into a rickety and unwholesome existence. One hundred and fifty millions of pounds of this dear, bad, ill-coloured, and lumpy sugar may be fabricated in France, for which the consumer pays more than a better article would cost at Bristol or at Hamburg. In the vicinity of Lille and Valen ciennes, where the yield of sugar is from 16 to 19 tons per acre, and occasionally even 25 tons, there may be loud complaint and lamentation, as there is likely to be also on the subject of cottons. But against St. Dialer, Lille, and Rouen the Emperor may muster Bordeaux, Marseilles, Nantes, St. Maio, Alorldix, Dijon, Joigny, Chalons sur-Marne, Epernay, Cette, and Paris—imperial Paris herself; and it will then be at once seen on which side victory is certain to rest. When it is remembered, moreover, that in his letter to M. Fould the Emperor is but completing a work coin monced seven years ago, and which yet remains to be crowned with perfect success, all candid and fair men in every civilised country will lend him generous support. It was—it ought not to be for gotten—by an impel ial decree of the 22d November, 1853, that the customs duties on the importation of coal and iron were materially reduced. Coal, ante- , cedentiv to the period of which we speak, paid wit the decime 55 centimes per 100 kilogrammes from the Sables d'Olonne to Dunkirk. Upon the re maining portion of the frontier it paid 33 centimes by the land frontier, except in certain places by the Meuse and the Moselle. From the date of the de cree of which wo speak, however, the zone from the Sables d'Olonne was declared to have but one duty, amounting to 33f. for French, and 88f. for foreign vessels. Antecedently to the decree a double duty to that levied on coal was levied on coke. But faom the date of the decree it was provided that coke was only to pay a half beyond what was levied on coal. It was the same Sovereign who, in 1853, made these beneficial alterations, who abolished the distinction between iron smelted by coal and wood, and lowered the duty on fonte brute, on rails for railroads, and on steel. The work unfinished seven and five years ago, he now seeks to perfect in 1860 or 1861 ; and whatever men in this country, on the Continent, or in America may think of the origin of his power, of his general system of govern meat, or of his extraordinary and marvellous career, every philanthropist and lover of his species must wish him success in the renewal of the attempt to liberate commerce and set industry free. In pursu ing a policy of this kind, while he greatly subserves the general interests of France, he also grandly subserves the interests of England, of Europe, and of the world, by lending the immense weight of his influence, his ability, arid his power to inaugurate a system calculated more than any other human mea sure to maintain confidence and preserve peace. The Emperor has the greater merit in adopting this course inasmuch as he opposes himself not mere ly to the policy of his uncle, but to the policy of the last three Bourbon Sovereigns. The First Napo leon, as well as the last three Bourbons, laid France under the most. galling commercial restric. tie e fi l Y 0 1 ta ta growth system of of modernprohibiti v e to foreicm tion of France was rather frien y _ b S a t by manu factured nd prohibition, ero fh w eo li ,icychar dutieseither n ed ounnl.l ided trade.

Laborious and convincing re ports were published by able, well-informed com missioners sent to France from England, but their remarks and reasonings produced no amended tariffs or commercial treaty. For our time was re served the crowning of the work ; and, as it will be the especial glory of the French Emperor to have earried the decree in France, so it will be, we trust, the peculiar felicity of the present Chief Minister of the Crown to witness the arrangement and execution of a project in which he has been actively and earnestly engaged for th.ree-and-thirty years.—Morning Post. 12 10 Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock Stock 81 Stock Stock Stock Stock 10s. 10 1.0.6.
