MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. There is a steady demand for discount accommo dation in the general market, where bills can still be negotiated on lower terms than at the Bank of England. The preparatiors, how ever, for the 4th of the month may stimu late the enquiry, and impart greater firmness to the quotations, for recent experience has shown that the market is very sensitive, and whenever the applications have increased, bankers and others have curtailed their operations, or exacted enhanced terms. No alterations of importance were apparent in the Foreign exchanges yesterday, although the Austrian rates were again rather higher. A sum of £30,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday, which, with the £20,000 by the Asterope, was taken for exportation. The Roxburgh Castle has been announced this morning from Australia with £89,120 in specie. Letters from Liverpool state that in the Cotton Market yesterday the transactions were very re stricted, and prices exhibited no change of import ance. The sales were 5,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with more animation, and quotations were well supported. The directors of the Agra Bank have announced a dividend of 10 per cent. and a bonus of £1 per share, being together at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum. At the meeting of the Atlantic Telegraph Com pany, held this day, the report was unanimously agreed to, as was also a resolution to the effect that an additional capital of £20,000 be raised, to at tempt to bring the existing cable into working order, or in the event of failure, to recover and sell it. A moderate amount of business has been trans- acted to-day in the market for public securities, but the liquidation of the account in foreign stocks and railway shares has again occupied the attention of the dealers. Consols, however, have been well maintained, viz., at 941 for money and account. Very few transactions are reported for investment, and as speculators still limit their operations, the market appears inactive. The New Threes and the Reduced remain at 951; Indian New Loan is 1041 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper has declined to 971 ; ditto 51 per Cent. ditto, to 1031 104 ; and the Debentures are 971 ; Bank Stock is heavy, at 230. Business in the Foreign Market is moderately active, but prices generally are heavy. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 79 to 791 ; ditto New, 651 to 651 ; Sardinian have receded to 851 ; Mexican to 2l 22k; Spanish 3 per Cents. remain at 441 ; ditto Deferred are depressed, viz., 33i ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents. are firm at 83. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are at 2 3 prem. ; the Universal ditto are t- prem.; and the London and Provincial . ditto, L prem.; the Canadian Loan is 21 prem.; the third instalment of 8 per cent. is due to-day. The Foreign and colonial Markets are dull. Lombardo-Venetian have receded to 111, and Great Luxembourg to 7. East Indian are flat, at 101, and Great Indian Peninsula at 99. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares are quiet, but at late rates. Union of Australia hare improved ss. to 10s. ; Ottoman Bank, ss. ; and Royal Mail Steam, 10s. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been on a very moderate scale, but prices gene rally are well maintained. South Eastern have advanced ss. to lOs ; North Eastern (Berwick), 15s. ; and. Northßritish, 15s. Midland declined ss. ; and Vale of Neath, £l.

THE WEATHER OF YESTERDAY.—RESCUE OF A MOTHER AND FOUR CHILDREN.—About 12 o'clock hesterday forenoon some of the chimneys belonging to the ouse of Mr. Moore, 108, New-cut, Lambeth, fell en the roof and forced the debris into the second-floor rooms when live persons (Mrs. Moore and children) were with difficulty and after some moments of awful suspense, rescued from the rubbish, and wonderful to relate, none of the five wer eeriouely injured, though for a time totally unconscious et their safety. Many similar accidents also occur' ed from the falli n of sign-boards, chimney - pots, &c., on the Sur rey side o f the Thames, and, it is feared, attended with bad results. LAMENTABLE OCCURENCE.—On Monday evening 't frightful and fatal accident to-dc place at the extensive 4 Laethry of Messrs. Learmouth and Roberts, leather- dressers, in Swan -street, Bermondsey, in which Mr. Thomas, the Principal engineer, lost his life. It appeared that the do • ceased was preparing to go to his tea, and was in attendance On his engine, when he fell (supposed to be in a fit) a m on g st , the machinery,' and was instantly crushed to death. The intelligence o f melancholy occurrence created a feeling of much commiseration; as the deceased was extensively known, and much respected in the neighbourhood. GOLD IN PEEBLESSHIRE.—An interesting dis covery has be en ma d e i n P ee bl ess hi re .

The gold is in small nuggets, awns of them rose is in weight g fl attened split peas. The quantity .picked up e qu al to half a sovereign. Whether on minute investigation gold will be found to an extent worth working remains to e e seen when the state of the season permits. The discovery, Re so far, is due to Mr. Mac *lister, schoolmaster , atHend e r land , and the specimens which he has been able to collect have been remitted to the museum of the Chambers In s tit ution may be seen by the curious. —,Peebles; eeblee, where they I N th D e S' s oluti s h l : A re Advertiser.

The SPEAKEIi took the chair at twelve o'clock. PETITIONS. _ _ Several petitions were presented against the Highwa; abolition of church-rates, &c. • WAYS AND MEANS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER appealed to bon; members who had motions on the paper not to press them until the house went into committee of ways and means. His only object was to secure the passing of the resolutions in reference to the duty on spirits. He trusted the house would pass these resolutions as a matter of form, and by doing so. they would not bind their hands, and the subject might afterwards be fully considered. He would move, therefore, that the motions and other orders of the day should be postponed unV_l he had brought for ward his resolution. Some hon. members having signified their assent to this propositiOn - the_ motion was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved the following resolution : towards raising the supply granted to her Majesty, in addition to the duty now payable on spirits distilled in the United Kingdom, there shall be charged on every gallon of such spirits at proof which, on or after the 29th of February, shall be distilled or be in the stock of any distiller, or in any duty-free ware house, or removine to such warehouse, theadditional duty of Id. The resolution had reference to the duty about to be fixed on foreign spirits, and its being agreed to would have the effect of protecting the revenue from loss, but it might be modified afterwards if the house deemed it expedient. The resolution was agreed to and the house resumed. QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES BILL. The adjourned debate on the motion for the second read• ing of this bill was resumed by Mr. NEWDEGATE, who stated that he would not in a house so scantily attended move any amendment. The bill was then read a second time and orderdd to be committed. MASTERS AND OPERATIVES BILL. Mr. McKINNON moved the second reading of this bill. He contended, that in consequence of the unfortunate dif ferences that had arisen between masters and operatives, it was necessary that a measure' such as the present should be adopted. When any difference occurred between the House of Lords and the House of Commons, a very simple proceeding was resorted to, namely, a conference between delegates on both sides, and it was to establish a similar method of settling disputes between workmen and their employers that the present bill was intro duced. If it were read a second time he proposed then that it should be referred to a select committee with a view to render it as effective as possible. Mr. SLANEY seconded the motion. He said the work ing classes were rapidly increasing in numbers and intelli gence, and it was most desirable that the misunderstanding between them anti the capitalists by whom they were em• ployed should be terminated. He believed that result could be effected if friendly mediation were resorted to in a spirit ealcreated to elucidate and settle the mutual differences be tween the two classes whose interests were so closely identified. He believed the effect of such mediation as he suggested would have the effect of doing away with the influence exercised by members of the working classes who were actuated, in many cases, by pride or other evil motives. Mr. WALTER did not consider the bill would prove effectual in settling disputes between masters and men, but as it was to be referred to a select committee he would not oppose the second reading. • Sir G. C. LEWIS said he did not consider the bill would effect the object which its framers contemplated. The first clause proposed that the two classes in question should ap point persons to arrange their differences, who were to have the authority of arbitrators. He contended there was no thing in that clause that added to the existing law, "and it was therefore either useless or imperfectly expressed. The second clause related to the formation of councils, with re ference to which the Queen was to be petitioned, and the Home Secretary to license these councils under a certain condition, which license was to last for three years. He' thought this bill would have the effect of fostering a delu sion on the part of the working class, and therefore it would not receive the support of the Government. He had no objection to the appointment of a committee to inquire into the circumstances connected with strikes, but he trusted the hon. member `(Mr. M'Kinnon) would not press his motion. Lord R. MONTAGUE defended the bill and referred to Cohseils de Pi udhomine in France, and other tribunals on the continent, to show that the principle and practice of arbitration between workmen and masters was in full and beneficial operation. The practice of arbitration prevailed amongst different trades in this country, and with great advantage both to workmen and employers. Mr. EDWIN JAMES strongly sd vacated some attempts at legislation on the subject, but objected to the machinery of the bill. However, he approved highly of its principle, and considered this question should be referred to a select committee. Mr. HENLEY considered that the terms of the bill were too vague to be practical, and that they should pause baby° legislating on a matter which might have the effect of injur ing instead of benefitting the classes for whose advantages it was designecl, Mr. E. COLEBROKE considered that the bill would not produce any practical effect, and suggested to the hon. mover not to press the second reading. After some dikussion, in which Mr. Black, Mr. P. Urquhart, Major Edwards, Sir F. Goldsmid, the Solicitor- General, and Sir M. Peto took part, Mr. MACKINNON replied, and contended that the question, so far as related to his bill, was not understood. In deference to the views of the house he would postpone his motion for four weeks, and would then move that the subject should be referre Ito a select committee. kr. CROSSLEY m2do a few observations and the me ion for the second reading of the bill was postponed. ADULTERATION OF FOOD OR DRINK BILL. Mr. WISE, in moving that the house go into committee on this bill, said that a committee of the house had sat for two sessions on this subject, and it reported that adultera tion was practised in the articles of human consumption wherever it was possible. It was a fact that adults ration had become so much of a scienc:, that France, Holland, and other countries of the continent, had been compelled to resort to the most stringent measures for its suppression. This adulteration pressed most severely on the poorer classes, whose endea vours were so fully absorbed in obtaining food that they had no means of analysing it. It appeared that s u .c vonlica and the most poisonous and deleterious drugs were the common elements of ordinary food and drink. It had been proved that much of the drunkenness of the poorer classes was produced by narcotic drugs and other adulterations in troduced into malt and spirits. He quoted several extracts from the report of the committee in question. Mr. V. SCULLY did not consider the bill calcu lated to be of any practical utility, or that it would be of any benefit to go into committee with a view to amend its details. He thought the practical mode of dealing with the question of adulteration was to have a board of analysts who would have officials whom they could send to inspect every shop. That board could be empowered to classify shops according to the purity of the articles retailed, which when it appeared affixed to the name of the dealer in the commercial directory would have a most beneficial operation. He alluded to the practice which prevailed in the butter market in Cork, by which a brand was affixed to the butter sold there, and which en abled buyers at once to detect the quality of the article they wished to purchase, as an illustration of the practica bility of the plan he proposed. Mr. J. LOKCE approved of the:principle of the bill, and suggested some verbal alterations to render it more effective. Mr. PEACOCK expressed a hope that the house would pass some bill on the subject of the adulteration of food. lie hoped that the bill would go into committee, and then its details could be altered. After some further discussion, Mr. CLIVE, on the part of the Government, said he had no objection to going into committee on the bill. The house then went into committee. Mr. ROEBUCK objected to clause 1, which imposed a penalty for selling an adulterated article. By that clause it must be proved that the article sold was not only injuri ous to health, but that the vendor was aware of the fact, which would render the bill inoperative. He deprecated all peddling in legislation. He believed the bill might do more injury than benefit to the tradesmen of the metropolis and boroughs at large. Mr. CLIVE objected to the clause on other grounds. Mr. EDWIN JAMES concurred with the honourable and learned member for Sheffield in reference to the elause, which he considered also would be inquisitorial in its ope ration. Mr. HARDY objected to the clause, and moved its omis sion, but gave way to Mr. PEACOCK, who moved, as an amendment to the original motion, that the words "with the knowledge of" should be left, which would have the effect of meeting the objections to the clause founded upon what had been said relative to the knowledge or the ignorance of the vendor as to the article he soils. Some discussion ensued, and Mr. PEACOCK withdrew hi■ amendment. Another amendment was proposed for the omission of the words "calculated to injure health," and the substitu tion of the words "injurious to health," as being more de finitive and intelligible. Mr. CLIVE in the course of the discussion stated that the first part of the clause was useless, and the last ob noxious. Mr. lIANK EY said that after the statement of the hon. member (Mr. Clive), on the part of the Government, it would be better not to discuss the amendment, but to come to a decision on the bill without further delay. After sonic discussion, in which there was a great diver sity of opinion expressed, Mr. lIANKE Y said that the house was in a position to decide the question without further discussion, and moved that the chairman do leave the chair. The motion was negatived, and the amendment was agreed to. Some other amendments of a vorbal character were also agreed to, and on the motion that the " clause as amended do stand part of the bill," the house divided— For the motion Against Majority The clause, as amended, was accordingly agreed to. Clause 2 was postponed. On clause 3, some discussion took place with reference to the appointment of official analysts, and an amendment was proposed, which was negatived without a divi sion. Some other verbal amendments were agreed to, and on the motion that the clause as amended stand part of the bill a division took place. For the motion .... 58 Against Majority .... The clause was accordingly agreed to, and the house re sumed. The Spirits (Ireland) Act Ammadinent Bill was read a aecoad time, and ordered to be committed on Monday next. ADMINISTERING OF POISON BILL, This bill was read a third time and passed. The house adjourned shortly before six o'clock. Piccolomini is married.

UNSEASONABLE VISITORS.—Thomas Spencer, Stafford place, Vauxhall-bridge-road, musician, George Ellis, of 33, Raphael-street, Brompton, jeweller, and Mary Jack son, were charged before Mr. Beadon, the former with violently knocking and ringing at the doors of houses in Piccadilly. • From the evidence of Morris, 171 C, it appeared at an early hour that morning, while on duty in Piccadilly, near the dreen Park, he heard a loud knocking at the doors, and on going to the spot he found Spencer violently knock ing at a door, and the defendant, Ellis, knocking and ringing at No. 152. On seeing the defendants at the doors he told them that if they wanted to see anybody they had better wait, upon which they became very abusive and menacing, and the woman being very drunk they were all taken into custody. Mr. neadon having cautioned the defendants, fined Spencer and Ellis 10s. or seven days each, and Jackson ss. A SKELETON KEY AFFAIR.—John Smith, a lad, was charged with being found in the house, 20, Stephen-street, Tottenham Court. road, for the purpose of committing a felony. It appeared that at about a quarter past six this morning while Henry Smith, nephew of the proprietor of the house, was in the workshop he heard footsteps, and on turning round saw the prisoner, who made a hasty retreat but was caught, and in answer to why he was there said he had been to the water closet. On being taken into custody a key was found on him which opened the door of the pro secutor's house, and some lucifer matches. Mr. Beadon said ho would remand him for a week for inquiries to be made.

This was a prosecution instituted by Mr. M. Verard Home Coleman, clerk to the marine depratment of the Board of Trade, Adelaide-place, London-bridge, by order of Captain Brown, Registrar-General of Seamen. The offence with which the prisoner stands charged is de clared to be a misdemeanour in the 140th clause of the "Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," and by the 518th clause of the same Act any police magistrate can act summarily in the matter, and sentence offenders, to any period - of imprisonment not exceeding six months, with or without hard labour, or inflict a penalty not exceeding £100: Mr. Charlet Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner, who was residing at the time Of his apprehension at No. 16 A, P9rtland-streot, Commercirl-road East. Captain George Dunlop, the shipping master at the Sailors' Home, Poplar, said the prisoner came to him at the Home on the 3d of May, 1859, to be shipped as chief mate of the Theresa, and then handed to him the master's cer tificate of competency now produced. Since the arrival of the Theresa he had received a communication from the Registrar that the certificate had been defaced and altered. He sent his messenger to the prisoner, who accompanied him to the Registrar. The prisoner was there given into custody. The name and number on the certificate was entered in the usual manner by his (Captain Dunlop',) clerk, under his own eye. In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, the witness said , that the prisoner would not have been allowed to have shipped as chief mate of a ship if he had not produced a certificate of competency. The one produced by' the pri soner was a master's certificate ; but many persons after passing examinations in the higher capacity of master, Ant out in ships as chief mates only, and that was perfectly legal. Mr. E. R. Coleman, the proseeutor, said the certificate by which the prisoner was enabled to ship and act as chief nude had never been issued to him, The certificate had been altered in many important respects, and had never been issued by any local marine board in the state it now was. It was numbered 12,179 when it loft his office in April, 1855—it was now numbered 12,176—and bore the name of John Scott. That name had been erased for the prisoner's name, "William Robert James Rogers." It had also been altered in various parti culars. The certificate, No. 12,179, was issued to Peter Wanless, and not to a person named Rogers. Mr. Cole man then produced the parchment certificate which the prisoner is accused of altering. The erasures and altera tions were palpable. The name John Scott, which origi nally appeared an the certificate No. 12,176, is supposed to have been erased by some chemical process. Mr. Coleman also produced a counterpart of the original certificate, No. 12,1;6, issued to John Scott. Mr. Yardley—You have no hesitation in saying the cer tificate of competency has been altered since it left your office ? Mr. Coleman—None whatever. The prisoner, in defence, said he had passed his exami nation, and received the certificate of a properly authorised officer at Leith. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner until Monday next.

WRONGS WHICII CRY FOR REDRESS Mr. Crook's bill for the Protection of Women and Children employed in Bleach Works, &c., will be proposed towards the end of March. If, be tween this and then, popular opinion is not brought to bear on this most atrocious question, it shall be no fault of ours. We purpose that this article shall appear in our columns frequently, until the bill has again been brought before the house; and we implore our brethren of the press to help the country, and especially the Legislatire Body, to a right way of thinking on these horribly cruel mat ters. Our extracts are taken almost at random from Mr. Hopley's pamphlet : __ Samuel Price examined—" I was in the employment of Messrs. Ainsworth, near Bolton. They employ about four hundred people. It was mostly from eleven till two o'clock in the morning before we left off. In the last year I was with thorn, from April, 1853, to April, 1854, we were busy, -as well as I can remember, through the spring and through the summer, for six or eight months of the year; that is, we went to work from six to half• past six, sometimes at four, and left off front ten to twelve, one or two in the morning, and sometimes after that. * * • All the people in the works averaged these number of hours—some oven more." [Observe that this dreadful toil was not an occasional or exceptional fact. Girls and boys were thus working, " through the spring and through the summer, for six or eight months of the year."] " At times, if a sudden order has come, we have not been in bed more than 16 or 18 hours in the week (averaging more than 211 hours of unrest out of the 24 during semis successive days and nights for girls and boys, some of then► no more than 12 years old)."—Report of the Com missioner appointed to inquire how far it may be advisable to extend the Provisions of the Acts for the better Regu lation of Mills and Factories to Bleaching Works, pp. 10, 11, Noe. 81-84. William Johnson, finisher—" I am twenty-four years of age. I was eleven when I first went to work. I worked first for Mr. Fletcher, Leylands, ten years. At my com mencement" (that is, when ho was a child of eleven) " I began at twelve o'clock on Sunday night, and worked till eight on Monday night (20 hours) ; then we started at six o'clock on Tuesday morning, and worked till 12 at night (IS hours) ; and we did that for two or three months without stopping. * * * I have been at a worse place than that for long hours since ; at Mr. Whowell's, Two Brooks. * * * There were a deal of young girls, one or two under ten years of age.—lbid., p. 9, N o . 68 . [To have a full perception of the severity of this toil, it should bo borne in mind that a very largo number of the workers in these establishments are standing and " work ing hard" (as rapidly as possible) during almost the whole of these lengthened periods. It is shown in evidence that sometimes for days in succession the girls and boys have no opportunity whatever of sitting down (save for their hastily-snatched meals during the whole of the time spent at the works.—Reports, passim.] I John Hamer, finisher—" I have been 15 years in the bleaching trade. I was employed at Messrs. Hollins', Tootle Bridge, Bolton. * * * One morning we went to work at five o'clock and worked till six the morning after" (25 hours.) " All the sets were working the same hours" (the young with the adults). * * * " I have been so tired, though I am a strong and healthy man, that I have often to sit at my bed-side when I get up of a morning, and my fingers are so stiff and sore that I cannot dress my self. If I feel thus tired, what must the young girls and boys feel p. 8, Nos. 61, 64. [The frightful state ofTrostration—often ending in death —to which the young girls and boys are reduced in some of these establishments will be touched on presently ] Ann Simpson (14 years old), Elizabeth Hilton (15) Sarah Higson (16)—" We came to work last Friday morn ing at half-past six" (at Mr. Ridgway Bridson's Bleach works, Bolton).
