1110. N .8 I- Cll Y .2VEIVS, CITY, Two o'CLocK. Increased activity has been apparent during the last few days in the markets for foreign and colonial produce. Most of the principal staples have been in good demand, and full rates were realised for the superior qualities. Tea continues firm, and at the public sale to-day it is expected that rqther higher rates will be established. For sugar there is a good inquiry, and in some few instances an advance of 6d. to Is. per cwt. has taken place. In the Refined Market, however, the dealings have been restricted by the high prices demanded for dried goods. Coffee continues in active request, and the better qualities of Plantation Ceylon have advanced 6d. to ls. per cwt. Rice continues dull; and in fruit and spices there has been little business. Saltpetre has exhibited increased firmness, the superior qualities having advanced is. to ls. 6d. per cwt. Tallow has been exceedingly active, and prices have improved about ls. to 6d. per cwt. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and 7,000 bales were sold at depressed quotations. In Railway Shares no alteration of importance took place. About £68,000 in gold was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The dividend proposed by the Union Bank of Australia is at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum. The Spanish and Portuguese Screw Company's steamer Peninsula left yesterday for Gibraltar and Cadiz with about £lO,OOO in specie. A steady business is transacted in the money market, but indications of increased ease are again apparent. Previous quotations are current, but the supply is more plentiful, and the demand less active. The January dividends will be paid to the public on and after to-morrow, and although a large amount will have to bereturned to. the Bank for advances in anticipation, the effect upon the Money market will, no doubt, be satisfactory. A reaction of about 1 per cent: Has taken place in the market for public securities, owing to the statement in the Moniteur that the uneasiness lately created by the position of diplomatic relations be tween France and Austria- is not justified. It was imagined yesterday that this intimation would be Riven, and a partial recovery ensued, which has con tinued to-day. Consols, which had declined to 953 96, have rallied to 963 1. For the February account they are about 965 2. The market, under these circumstances, has presented an animated appear ance, and a large amount of business has been transacted.

SPARKS..---LIABILITY OF SHIPOWNERS FOR LOSS ON 'CARGO. This was an action to recover a sum of money for loss sustained through the plunder or bad storage of some olive oil shipped on board defendant's vessel. Mr. Gribble (of the firm of Surr and Gribble) applied on the part of defendant for an adjournment, on the ground that the only person wlio knew anything about the matter was absent. The captain of defendant's :iressel Was the person to whom defendant looked for any explanation in answer to this claim. Plaintiff (who did not at all relish the idea of an adjourn ment) said ho had nothing to do with the captain; he looked to the owner for reimbursement of any loss sustained on board his vessel. Mr. Gribble--Grantetl. But it is extremely unfair to call upon the owner to answer a claim about which he can positively know nothing. The captain of the vessel signed the bill of lading, and of course is the only person who can give evidence in favour of defendant. His Honour—The contract is with the captain who signs the bill of lading, and certainly he should be here. Mr. Gribble—Besides, a charge is made, and a most serious one—a charge of plunder against the captain. His Honour—There may be an answer—the packages may have been insecurely fastened. Mr. Gribble--That is so. Plaintiff—This case has already been adjourned, and I think the case should go on. Mr. Gribble, however, persisted in his motion for an ad journment, and, upon payment of plaintiff's costs, a future day for the hearing was named. THE TWO PIGS--A COMEDY OF ERRORS-CYBUS V. KENNEDY. Plaintiff is a meat salesman of Newgate -market, and defendant is a pig breeder. Mr. Forrester, from Mr Beard's, attended for defendant. From an immense fund of evidence in which "this pig," "the other pig," and almost a drove of pigs was included, it appeared that upon the 12th of Oct. defendant sent a pig in in the name of Baker to plaintiff to sell. That pig was condemned by the inspector. On the 16th a person named Stevens sent a pig to plaintiff to sell. On the 16th defendant called for an account of the sale of his pig. Plaintiff's book-keeper said he had no sale of a pig in the name of Baker. The pig having been slaughtered by Stevens, defendant said perhaps it came in his name. The book-keeper then handed over the proceeds of Stevens' pig. The action was to recover the sum so paid in error. For defendant it was urged that his pig was a good one, and that he had been paid for, his own pig. Some questions then arose as to a disease to which the pig had been subject, and it was elicited that slaughterers ffre- . quently killed pigs to save theirlives. Upon being, questioned closely by his Honour, as to the custom of killing for food diseased pigs, a slaughterman said that it was no business of his how the pigs were—they were sent to be killed, and killed they were. The pig sent by defendant was poor and poverty-struck, and could not be near the weight of Stevens' pig. To rebut this statement, Mr. Forrester called two or three persons who swore defendant's pig was healthy, and was about the weight defendant was paid for. A question again arose as to the colour of the disputed pig—plaintiff said it was a black and white one ; and defen dant that it was a black one. His Honour gave judgment for the plaintiff, as the defer• dant had evidently received the money in error. POLTCE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. BOW-STREET. DARING ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.—George Atkins was placed at the bar, in accordance with remand, charged with violently assaulting Robert Greene. From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that on Saturday morning, 25th of Dee., about half-past twelve, he was returning home, when a female came up to him in Parliament-street, and asked him to accompany her home. He refused to do so, and she then asked him to stand some gin, but he declined to give her spirits, but said if she liked he would give her a cup of coffee. She said that would do, and she knew a good place where to go to for it. He refused to go to the place named in King-street, West- , minster, and the woman then left, telling him he was a bad sort. She had scarcely left him an instant when a man seized him by the throat from behind, and thrust his knees into his (prosecutor's) loins, which completely overpowered him. He then made a desperate effort to free himself, and succeeded in compelling the man to relieve his grasp, which enabled him to call for assistance, but the man still kept hold of him behind. He (prosecu tor) kept struggling, when the woman commenced to rifle his pockets, and in doing so completely tore one side of his waistcoat open, in one of the pockets of which was his watch and money. Immediately Green discovered that the woman was endeavouring to rob him he put out his hand, and by some means got it into her mouth and succeeded in holding her for some minutes by the lower jaw so firmly as to completely frustrate her object. During the time this struggle was going on he called out loudly for assistance, but eventually he was thrown down on his back by the man behind ; but before the robbery was effected a constable was heard approaching, when both parties ran away. When the prosecutor regained his feet, he found a cap lying near the spot, which ho immediately recognised as the one the man wore, and shortly afterwards Atkins was brought back in custody of the police. The prosecutor said he was perfectly sober when the outrage was com mitted. Police-constahle A 89 said—On the night in question he heard cries of " Police I Police 1" and immediately ran in the direction from whence they seemed to proceed. He was in the act of turning the corner of Cannon-row when he saw the prisoner and the prosecutor struggling on the ground. When Atkins saw him ho got up and ran away, but he pursued, and having captured him, he took him back, when the prosecutor immediately identified him as the man who had attempted to rob him. He had neither hat nor cap on when he was taken into custody. A woman was taking part in the scuffle, but she succeeded in making her escape. Mr. John Hill gave similar evidence. He pursued the woman when she ran away, but was not fortunate enough to secure her. Mr. Jardine—Then the woman is not yet in custody ? Witness replied she was not. Mr. Jardine—ls the prisoner known ? Mr. Mace (chief usher)—Oh_yes, your worship, consta bles are in attendance who know him well. " Police constable L 195, said the prisoner had been pre viously convicted of housebreaking, and had also been in prison for a violent assault on his mother. Mr. Jardine said, he should' fully commit the prisoner for trial, but he thought he had better be brought up again next week, as it was likely by that time the woman would be in custody. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY RECOGNITION OF A THIEF BY A CHlLD.—Henry Holdsworth, a smith, was charged with stealing a bundle, containing various articles of clothing, from a little boy named George Read, and the circumstance which led to the prisoner's apprehension was of a rather singular nature. The little fellow, who gave his evidence in a very lean gent and straightforward manner, said ho lived with his father, a messenger, at 15, Norwich-court, and on Saturday morning last he was carrying a bundle which he had fetched from Dean-street, Fetter-lane, and when ho got into Hol born the prisoner came up to him while he was looking in a picture shop window, and asked him to go an errand for him. He then took him up a street, and told him to go into a baker's shop and ask for four parcels and 55., saying he would hold the bundle. He then took the bundle and went into a doorway, and in it he saw some dresses. He then went to the shop and asked for the parcels, but they said they knew nothing about them, and on going back to the place where he left the prisoner ho was gone. Yesterday the prisoner came into his mother's shop to buy a collar, and he then said, " Mother, that's the man that stole the bundle," and he was given into custody. He was quite sure he was the man, and he knew him directly he saw.him in the shop. Mrs. Darina, of Marylebone, proved that the bundle, con- taining silk dresses, &c., was her property, and she sent the little boy for it. Smith, a city constable, 282, said the prisoner refused his address. The priso-ter at first denied all knowledge of the affair, but afterwards wished it settled by his Worship, and pleaded guilty. Mr. Bingham said men like the prisoner who robbed children were very dangerous thieve's ; he should, there fore, go to the ex tent of his power. Committed for six months, with hard labour. CLERKENWELL. THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST A TIMBER MERCHANT.—PhiIIip Coxford, described as a timber mer chant, of Kingsland, whose case was reported in The Sun of Saturday, was again (yesterday) brought up at this court, charged with carnally knowing two young girls, aged 12 and 11 respectively, and named Emma and Rose Bul winkle. Mr. Vann attended for the prisoner, and asked for a remand, he having some witnesses to call. Mr. Perry, from the office of Mr. Buchanan, who had been instructed to prosecute by the London Society for the Protection of Young Females, did not object, as one of his witnesses was absent. Upon the question of bail, Mr. Perry objected ; and the magistrate said, if bail was put in, the usual notice must be given to the prosecution. The prisoner was again remanded. THAMES. SMASHING JOHN BULL'S WINDOW3.—EIiza Ellis, a young woman, was brought up before Mr. Yardley, charged with creating a disturbance and breaking twelve panes of glass in the dwelling-house of Mr. John Bull, ship-broker, of No. 3, Mapps-row, Stepney-green. The prosecutor' stated that he was clemt to a ship-broker in the City, and that the prisoner was his wife's son's wife. Mr. Yardley—Your step-son's wife, I•suppose. Mr. Bull--Yes, sir. Yesterday evening she was going away from my house, in wlich she had been living, with out giving any notice, and removed her goods. He remon strated with her, and she became very abusive, and was greatly excited. He had put up with a good deal of annoy ance from her. Mr. Yardley—Now tell me, Mr. Bull, what she did las night. Mr. Bull—She broke all my front windows. Mr. Yardley—How many panes of glass ? Mr. Bull—Twelve, sir: - The value is Bs. The prisoner card she did break the windows, but was very much provoked at the time. Mr. Yardley—You are fined Bs., the value of the win dows broken, or 8 days' imprisonment and hard labour. CUTTING AND WOUNDING. —William Linsey, a seaman, aged 21, a native of Jamaica, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with cutting and wounding Dimetrius Constantine, a Greek sailor. It appeared that there was a quarrel among a number of foreign seamen, located at a lodging house in Wellclose square, and that the prisoner challenged Constantine to fight, and three others got round him and a kind of scramb ling fight took place. The prosecutor swore that the Jamaica man stabbed him three times, twice on the arm and once on the back. The wounds on the arm penetrated his coat but not his flesh. The stab en the back was a severe one, and the knife pene trated his flesh, and was broken. After the examination of several witnesses, the prisoner said that he struck the prosecutor with his fist, and did not use the knife at all. He had many witnesses. They did not answer, and Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner until to-morrow. THIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The present week's arrival of English wheat, up to our market, coastwise, has amounted to only 1,220 quarters. By land carriage, this morning, the receipts were very limited. The few samples en offer were disposed of readily, at fully Monday's improvement in the quotations. We were well supplied with most kinds of foreign wheat. Good and fine samples were in steady request, at full prices ; but inferior parcels were a dull sale. Floating cargoes of grain were somewhat firmer. Malting barley was in fair request, at full quotations; but other kinds moved off slowly, at late rates. Malt was a dull inquiry, but not cheaper. The supply of oats was on the increase, yet the demand ruled steady, at previous rates. Beans and peas were dull; but flour was firm in price. ARRIVALS TR% mum. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

COURT OF BANKRUPCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE H. BROWN-THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK To-day was appointed, by adjournment, for the considera tion of the certificate of this bankrupt, who was one of the directors of the Royal British Bank. The case had been adjourned to see whether some arrangement might not be come to whereby the great expense and long inquiry might be avoided. Mr. Linklater, who appeared for the assignees, and also for the assignees of the Royal British Bank, said that after consideration they thought that the case could scarcely come under the 201st section of the act, and therefore he did not object to Mr. Brown having a third class certifi cate. Mr. Bagley, for the bankrupt, left the case in his Honour's hands. His Honour then allowed a certificate of the third class Mr. Linklater then applied for a private sitting for the examination of some witnesses, in consequence of recent disclosures which had been made, and a day was appointed. 209 21 C 4 66 20 18d1 MISCELLANEOUS.

Jack son 'arid Watford. • The British Quarterly generally contains sugges tive and thoughtful articles. The present number opens with a lengthened treatise on the complicated question of "Physical and Moral Heritage," one which taxes the powers and experience of physio logists and psychologists to discuss aid reason upon. The importance of the subject and the extent of its ramifications are discussed in a full and com prehensive manner. The numerous instances given where the sins of the parents have met their retribution in the insanity or idiocy of their chil dren, convey a solemn warning. This is espe cialy the case in the families of drunkards. Turning to a less painful view of the question, the writer gives us several interesting instances in which intellectual ability has been hereditary, or where a gradual advance has been perceptible in successive generations. The ease of the Sheridan family is familiar to all, and many other instances readily present themselves to the recollection. The writer, however, cites some cases whi c h are no t so well known. Mirabeau the father, he observes, foreshadowed Mirabeau the tribune. " The family of lE•iehylus numbered eight poets. The father Of Torquato Tasso had the gift, as his son had the genius of verse. This sort of succession of gift or ability in the family, followed by genius in the son, is not rare. Flaxman was the snof a moulder of plaster casts. Thorwaldsen, the rival of Canova, was the son of a poor sculptor. Raphael's father was him self a painter. The mother of Vandyke had a talent for painting. Parmigiano was of a family of painters ; so was Titian ; so is Horace Vernet. The father of Mozart was a violinist of some reputation; his children inherited part of his talent. Beethoven was the son of a tenor singer. A whole host of composers have emanated from the family of Bach." The clear sense and straightforwardness of the last paragraph in the article cannot be too much com mended. In it the author condemns the dangerous doctrine that, as dispositions and tendencies are hereditary, so vice and crime are in some instances inevitable. No sane man, he asserts, can be held irresponsible for his voluntary actions, whatever the constitutional tendency. To acknowledge him self so, would be to proclaim himself infirm of intel lect, if nothing worse. An essay on the character and career of Bolingbroke draws a sketch of that states man with a stern and uncompremising hand. " Masson's Life of Milton" receives a favourable notice ; and the vexed question of Montalembcrt's pamphlet is fully discussed in an article, entitled "France and England." " Serf Emancipation in Russia" is also brought under consideration, and the conclusion to which the writer arrives is hope ful of the progress of the good work. Other articles of literary and general interest will be found in the number. The New Quarterly Review. No. XXVIII. Bos- worth and Harrison. The New Quarterly Review manifests consider able improvement in style and and substance. The subjects chosen are often those of deep and extended interest, and they are treated with suitable force and earnestness. Among the most remarkable essays in this number is one on the question of " Free African Immigration," from the pen, we are told, of a distinguished French writer. He dis cusses this important topic fully and freely, and ends by recommending several precautionary , mea sures which should prevent the so-called free im migration from degenerating into legalised slavery-. Those who have turned their attention to the arguments upon this subject will find the paper worthy of perusal. Mr. Bright's speeches are brought under review, and receive an impartial criticism. Of course a Review of the present time would be incomplete without a notice of Carlyle's " Frederick the Great." The second edition of Mr. Buckle's " History of Civilisation," furnishes opportunity for discussing the relative merits-13f that gentleman and his critics. An article on. " Plays and Players" is one of the most entertain ing in the number. The general retrospect of the literature of the Quarter is on the whole fair and discriminative. The Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology. Churchill, New Burlington-street. The unusual amount of public attention which has recently been turned towards the treatment of the insane, will invest this useful serial with more general interest than it usually possesses. Its value must always be recognised by the scientific practi tioner, as in these unhappy cases it is especially advantageous to collect all possible information, and to learn by comparison of eases, by failure and success, what are the chief predisposing causes, and what the most ameliorative treatment to this afflicting malady . Those whose experience has been limited will thus be able to learn from the practical knowledge of others, and even those wh o h ave mos t o ft en b een brought into contact with these sufferers, must feel the advantage of studying the experience of foreign practitioners, and the results of each method of treatment on the average. The present number, after taking a psychological quarterly retrospect, has a series of articles on subjects connected with the constitution of the mind, and mental disorder. They are all of more or less value, and some of them, such as " The Statistics of Justice," and " The Obscure Mental Disorders of Criminals," are worthy the attention of the philanthropist and the legislator. The journal of Agriculture. No. 63 W. Blackwood. This quarterly contains its usual share of agri cultural information and discussion A paper by the talented Robert Scott Burn treats of the novelties at the national agricultural shows of the past year. A paper on the " Present I'osition of Agriculture," by a Farmer, d eserves a tt ent i on, an d i t i s followed by a consideration of the relative advantages of selling grain by measure or by weight. A brief paper on " British Grasses" will interest the botanist. In the Journal of Transactions of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, the prize essay on " River Embankments," by Robert Milne, t sq., commends its( le to the atten tion of the reader. The reports of ploughing experiments, and other useful pieces of information are given, and the" Proceedings in the Lal'oratcrv," by Professor Anderson, has some partim - 1: respecting scientific manures. Dittrichsen and Ilannay's .Royal Almanack, for 1859. This useful Almanack 'maintains its character. It gives the Royal genealogy of England, the Peerage, a Parliamentary Court, County, and Colonial Calendar, an Alphabetical Army and Navy List, and a London, P rov i nc i a l , C o l on i al and Foreign Banking Directory. It also contains a variety of miscellaneous intelligence. JUVENILE FETE AT THE MANSION HO USE. Yesterday evening the Lady Mayore 35 enter tained a large party of juveniles in the spacious apartments of the Mansion House. The company, which exceeded 500 in number, commenced arriv ing shortly after si x o ' c l oc k, and were received in the saloons by the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress. In the drawing-rooms were exhibited several of the patent revolving stereoscopes of Messrs.Negrctti and Zambre, exhibiting their beautiful transparent views of Egypt and Nubia, the Holy Land, and also many views recently taken in India. There were also several educational microscopes of Messrs. Smith, Beck, and Beck, and one of their best achromatic microscopes in its most complete form. There were also some of their new Mu made stereoscopes, with beautiful transparent views of Spain, Saxony, Switzerland, & c .. an d Gorham's colour-top, a beautiful contrivance for explaining the phenomena of colours. Mr. Ladd exhibited some new forms of microscopes, having a very light appearance combined with steadiness. ' In addition to these most interesting and scientific objects, which excited the most lively interest among the young guests, werefr from m also i Messrs. Knight s. pedestal, , l stereoscopes on a Knight and Co, with pictures from the Holy Land, tileie microscopes, &c. Dancing commenced in the sal oon at seven o'clock, an d was kept up with g rea t sp i rit until eight, when the> Egyptian-hail Was thrown open for the exhibition of Mr. Cramer's w elide& I display of natural magic, combining great slight of hand with the power of constantly keeping the attention of his audience excited ; and in the course of his exhibition he displayed a variety o f new tricks—mareels undiscovered by his admiring audi ence, who expressed their wonder and delight by loud and repeated plaudits. During the intervals Master Drew Dear, a youth of WI years of age, performed a solo on the flute with great taste and .execution. He is a pupil of Mr. Richardson, and has already had the honour of appearing before her Majesty. Mr. Ladd, of Chancery-lane, was most successful in the exhibition of some new and scientific experi ments of electricity, produced from a very powerful induction coil, containing six miles of wire, worked by a small galvanic battery, producing sparks and colours of a brilliant character by being passed` through a partial vacuum of various gases. The Lady Mayoress's young guests then danced in the Egyptian Hall until ten o'clock, when sup per was served ; and the party broke up soon after 12 o'clock, highly delighted wit's their kind and hospitable reception, and the varied amusements of the eveninm—terminating one of the most brilliant soirees w e have witnessed at the Mansion-house.
