CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce. Markets, during the past few days, have not bsen very ac tive. A large quantity of produce has been offered at public sale, and prices generaly have le-en de- P r es'ed, the trade generally being averse to operate to any extent. Sugar has declined about 6d. per c wt., and tea id. to ld. per lb. Coffee sold to a Moderate extent at about previous rates, but there was a very limited inquiry for both rice and fruit. Saltpetre has been firm, and full rates continue current for all qualities. Tallow has exhibited very little activity, and a decline of about 3d. per cwt. may be quoted. P. Y.C., on the spot, is 535. 6(1 . ; June delivery, 535. ; and last three months, s ls• per cwt. Market f rom Li ver p oo l mention that the Cotton yesterday closed quietly, and prices slightly declined. The sales were estimated at 4,00 0 bales. The Railway Share Market mani fested rather more steadiness, and previous quota tions were well maintained. The position of the money market is favourable, arid although the exports of the precious metals to India and China are increasing, and supplies are temporarily falling off, and a large amount of capital is locked up for a short time in the sub acription to the new Brazilian Loan, there is, n evertheless, a large amount of capital afloat in both the Stock Exchange and Lombard-street. ! I le supply is very plentiful and the demand light. - 1 .4 rates, in consequence, an, easy, and we may quote good bills as done at 21 to 21 per cent., but We know of money being obtainable at 2 per cent. IV some persons these circumstances might imply the probability of a decline in the Bank charge ; b ut as the directors, by some means or other, find 61 : 11 Ployment for the funds at their disposal, and there is the possibility of the renewed export of silver to the East producing an adverse influence on the market, it is extremely questionable if the directors will make any reduction. 1 meeting of the Mexican Bondholders was held this day at the London Tavern, D. Robertson, tsq., in the chair, when a resolution was passed authorising the committee to apply to Colonel rack), the Mexican agent, for the delivering up of nearly 100,0001. now in the Bank of England on account of interest due to the Bondholders, and in case of refusal, the committee were empowered to write to Lord Malmesbury to request his lordship's protection of the interest of the Bondholders. :The aspect of the English Stock Market remains blialtered. Prices may be considered tolerably steady, with a rather moderate range of business. Consols are firm at 971 to 98 for money and the P r esent, account, and for the July account, 981 1. -16 kok Stock is rather heavy at 219 to 221 ; India ~„.B kc ir) 222 to 25 ; and the New Loan, 99k. The ~ '"evir Threes are dealt in at 96i ; and the at 961 . Exchequer Bills are : 11 " 33 . to 375. prem., and those advertised, 17s. Prow.

PUNCEI KNOWLEDGE 01' TIM ENGLISH.—In announc- In i g the f ac t th a t Sir John Pakington, the First Lord of Ve Admiralty, intended placing vessels belonging to the 'Yal Navy at the disposal of men of science, should they quire them for the purpose of proceeding to South America to make ob.ervations during the great eclipse °f t he sun, which will be favourably observed in Peru • a nd other ne i g hb our i ng countries, the French scientific i n t nal, Cosmos, falls into a singular error. The editor , A.bb4 Moigno, a highly cultivated man, and one ti"e' ° ha°, probably, a better knowledge of Eng lish sciett .e literatur e than nine-tenths of his countrymen, and 3 '," , from the mere remote resemblance that exists be - -19 een the s oun d s o f th e names of Sir John Pakington 411(1 Sir Joseph Paxton, he commits the ludicrous error of attributing the creation of the Crystal D P ,acei of Hyde-park and Sydenham to the respected Z' lt tletnan who now rules the navy. " Sir John Paking d°, „ 3 , 11 .", be says, "l'illustre crgateur du Palais cristal liC 4 Ple-park et de Sidenham, d'un sentiment de r alit4 alma spontanee qu Intelligente, a offert de Placer des vaisseaux ?s la disposition de la science Pour l'observation de la grand Eclipse de Septembre th eh ain, ) ! &c.

The further hearing of these - part-heard appeals was resumed this morning. The plaintiff filed his bill fo, specific performance of an agreement not under seal, and not signed by the landlord, but by his attorney, in his absence, for a lease of two farms and houses to b, built thereon, at Winbtone, in the county of Durham, at 2401. and 2701. per annum. The defendant plealed the statute cf frauds and un certainty of the terms of agreement which could not be enforced The Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart decreed specific performance of the agreement by the defendant, but gave no costs to the plaintiff. The parties app.aled. At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel in this case, the Lord Chancellor delivered judgment, affirming the decree of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuatt, except as to costs of suit, and varied the decree in so far as to find the defendant liable in costs, and dismissed the ap peal without costs of appeal. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. RESIGNATION OF MS. JUSTICE COLERIDGE. The two Middlesex grand juries were this morning sworn wzcordiog to the usual custom. There was no business to come before them, and Mr. Justice Coleridge, the senior puisne judge, before whom they have to be pworn, said it was the last time he would have an op portunity of addressing them, and expressed a hope that if the institution was to be c)ntinuerl it would be so modified as to lessen the inconvenience the public bad of late years been put to from the happy change of the times between the present period and the time when the services of the grand jury of the greatest court in the realm were in great request.

SOUTTLING A SHP: ON Tilt HP - 'll SEAS SA.N FRA.NCISCO, April 4.--A case of robbery the nigh tears, vrtli the ohjeet of actramiing ranee conapaides in E:.. which has just coz.e to Lett here is deserving of notice. Tue story is a long tale of roguery, but the fol lowing are the main facts : On. the 4th of Fe bruary the bri g Gornelia, com manded by, one Henry Benet, aGetman, under Mexican colouis, and a regular trader foi some time past betwceu the__Coaet.cf Mexi co an d San Francisco, left the port of Miazallan with a cargo of salt; for this pat. She had on boaj3 19,000 Mexican dollars, shipped at Mazatlan by the English house of Ballingall, Thompson, an] Co., consigned to Mr. Thomas Bell, a merchant of San Francisco; a British subject. By the ship's manifest it was made toappear that she had on board, in addition to the above $19,000, silver to the value of $29,000 consigned to S. Hen derson, of San Francisco, by two bills of lading, one purporting to be fPr $22,000, the other for $7,000. • On the 27th of March news reached San Fran cisco that the Cornelia had been lost on the coast of Lower California, and no suspicions were enter tained of the manner of her loss until three of her crew, who arrived here on the 26th ult.. revealed the fact that the captain and mate had scuttled ship and stolen the treasure. The captain and mate being also here, an attempt was made to arraign them before the United States' Court of Admiralty on the charge of robbery, but the attempt was ren dered ineffectual by the opinion of the United States' District Attorney that the Court had no jurisdiction, and that he could not inter here, as " the vessel and all.concerned are foreigners." The captain and mate were, however, arrested by the police, and.it was soon elicited that when off San Quentin they scuttled the vessel ; that while the craw were belowy,on occasion of the ship being becalmed, these tw'd worthies removed the silver out of the vessel into the ship's boat and covered it over that the crew could not see it ; that some one of the men saw enough to excite his suspicions, however, and that, finally, as the brig was leaking badly she was abandoned, all hands took to the boat, and landed on the coast of Lower California. Here the captain and mats got rid of the crew by some hocus-pocus, and gave them money to carry thorn up t.l San Diego, where they could take the coast steamer for San Francisco. The crew suspected that after they were got rid of the money was buried, and their suspicions turned out to be well-founded, for the captain has, since his arrest, confessed his guilt. Finding the case going hard against him, he made a clean breast of it to Mr. Bell, the consignee of the 19,000 dols. of silver already spoken of, from whose affidavit, kindly lent to me by that gentleman, I make the following extract of the captain's confession " That the Mexican dollars (about 19,000) were, on or about the Bth of February last, landed from tl:e vessel at Cape San Lucas (on the coast of Lower California) by him, Captain Benet, and the mate of the said vessel, and there buriEd by him the said Capt. Benet alone." Ilethen goes on with consider able 'naiveté to confess, in the second place, what to ordinary minds will appear startling enough, "That the other amounts of specie (viz., the 22,000 dole. and the 7,000 dela.) which he declared in Ws pro test to have been shipped at Mazatlan—that is (to follow his own diction) one lot of 22,000 dols. and another of 7,000 dols:, were never received on board of said brig Cornelia" and,that he had signed bills of lading for these two lots of dollars at the instiga tion of —" (I suppress the name in a commu nication to be made public from prudential motives) " of Mazatlan." It thus appears that the two bills of lading for the 29,000 dols. (one for 22,000 dols., and the other for 7,000 dols.) were false—fabricated to recover the insurance—as no such or any other sum represented by the bills of lading was ever shipped. The consignee is also a fictitious person "S. Henderson," of San Fran isco, being a myth. Benet had, before sailing from Maz ttlan, written to England for insurance on his imaginary treasure, with a view of recovering the 29,000 dols. from the underwriters ; and had his scheme succeeied he would have made in all 48,000 dol4. by the operation, counting the 19,000 duls. stolen from his vessel and buried. This latter sum the underwriters would also have been mulcted in, for it was insured regularly, and unless it is recovered they will still have to make it good. To return to the captain's confession ; ho goes on further to declare "that he was the only person who knew where the money was buried ; and that he was ready and willing to go down to the place and deliver it up " He was taken at his word, and in pursuance of his offer Lloyd's agent chartered one of our pilot boats, a swift sailing craft, and the captain and his mate, whose name is given as Louis Lenart, and whu is said to be a Chilian, have been taken down the coast in charge of three of the S Lir Francisco police with the view of recovering tlie silver. They left on the 30th, and may bo expected back in two or three weeks. The captain's confession wa3 made to Mr. Bell in the presence of the Chief of Police and of a mem ber of the force, both of whom have wade affidavits of its correctness. He would not sign a written statement, and he denies having scuttled the ves sel ; but no dependence can be placed upon this denial, for he swore to a tissue of falsehoods in his protest ; and the crew continue to assert that the brig was scuttled some time before they left her. THE NEW JUDGE. Mr. Hugh Hill, Q.C., the eminent counsel of the Northern Circuit is to be the new judge, in the room of Mr. Justice Coleridge, who has signified hie intention of retiring from the Bench. In the ease of Roberts v. Eberhardt, Mr. M'Mabon, this morning, asked the Court to allow the case to stand over in consequence of Mr. H. Hill, his leaflet, having returned his briefs in the case. The request was accordingly granted. The elevation of Mr. H. Hill to the judicial bench gives general satisfaction to the members of the bar. HEMMINGS V. GASSON-SLANDER AND LIBEL-JUDGMENT. This was an action for libel and slander in which a rule had been obtained to arrest the judgment, on the ground that the inuendoes in both courts were not sup ported by the words complained of, and for a new trial, on the ground that certain evidence had been improperly received. The case was tried at the Westminster sitting in last HINT t-rm, before Mr. Justice Erle, and it ap peared from the evidence that the plaintiff and defendant, who resided at Rye, bad formerly been in partnership together as furniture brokers. On the night of March 3, 1857, the defendant's shop was broken into and some of his furniture damaged. The defendant suspected the plaintiff and his son of being concerned in the outrage, and, in the hearing of several witnesses, made use of the following words, which were set out in the first declara tion—" What do you think of my job t I'm satisfied who it was got into my shop, as George Hensrnan tells me he met Hemmings and his sou about 4 o'clock the morn ing my shop was broken into. I found part of a letter on the floor of my shop, which was in the hand writing:of Hemmings. A. corresundence ensued between the parties in the Rye ChroniA which contained the libel complained of, Lord Campbell, in delivering the judgment of the Court, said they were of opinion there ought to be a new trial in this oaso.

STRON4-I.OOIDENT. This was an action brought by the next of kin of a child 9 or 10 years of age, t 3 recover compensation in damages for injuries inflicted through the alleged negli gence of the defendant's servant. It appeared from the evidence, that on the afternoon of the 22d of March, there were two Scotchmen playing bagpipes, in Agar street, Hackney, surrounded by a crowd of persons. The plaintiff was in the road with a child in his arms, when the defendant's servant came by driving his milk cart, and knocked him down inflicting injuries on the head. The learned judge, in summing up, said the action never ought to have been tried in the Supreme Court, but should have been taken to the County Court. The jury returned a verdict f)1. the plaintiff—da ma zes, 51. LARDY V. OLVER -BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. The main object the lady had in view in bringing the action was to relieve herself from what she considered an imputation on her character contained in a letter written to her by the defendant. As the defendant came forward and through his counsel stated he had no inten tion to impute anything against her character, and that he still• considered her a most excellent and virtuous young woman, a verdict was taken by consent for the plaintiff for 101. damages.

In April, 1670, a certain Cabinat Council was formed, which the people of England (much objecting to the sa me, and with reason) call e d th e Cabal, from the initials of the names of its five members. The conventional sohoolboy knows that these were Clifford, Arlington, Buckingham, Ashley (afterwards Shaftesbury), and Lauderdale. It was reported, we hope w i t h untrut h , that Mr. Disrael i went out the other night, after dark, and chalked on the front Piccadilly wall of Cambridge House— C lanricarde, A rgyil, B A s o e y (now Shaftesbury), L ewis, and then cut away with all hi s might an d ma i n .

It says : " Some persons of the village of Albalat, near Valencia, conceived violent animosity against the Mayor ' M. Mugnoz. A few months ago, us he was re t urn ing from Valencia in a cart, in which were seven persons, three brigands stopped the vehicle near the bridge of Chraix, and ordered him to alight. 'They are going to kill me!' said he, refusing to move. The brigands made the other people go out of the vehicle, and, seizing:Mug ncz, dragged him about twenty yards along ale! road. There one of the brigands fired a blunderbusli into his heart, an d he fell 'lead ; at the sail mo ment another fi red at him from behind, and 0 third proceeded to hack his body in a frightful manner with a hatchet.

This effect is of the worst character, and timid people begin to fear that, as the title by which they hold their property is not a whit better than that on which the property of these foundations rests, the day may come when they also may be called upon to submit to some similar op3ration. Nothing can be more dictatorial, more imperious, or more intimidating than this " General Order" of the Minister, and this altogether apart from the merits of th e opera tion. He i requires that the Prefects shall use all " their influence and, if necessary, their autho rity ;" and what this means every one knows, with immediate dissolution of the Administrative Board on any manifestation of " prejudice or inert ness." The circular further states, that the Pre fects will be estimated by the Emperor according to the more or lesszeal they use iu urging on the opera tion. It is no wonderthat a missive conceived in such a spirit and dictated in such terms, should be consi dered as highly offensive to the Boards, and have excited indignation. The accounts from the pro vinces prove that such is the case, and, in dependently of the fact that the Boards are generally opposed to the principle of a change sought to be made clearly with a view to the finance?, their self respect is deeply and needlessly wounded—so much so that though the project be not abandoned, yet the official correspondence isimed from the Home-office for the use of the pro vincial press is couched in soothing and concilia tory terms. The answer to inquiries by telegraph as to the effect of the Circular was that the directors of the foundation in three import ant placer, said to be Douai, Lille, and Troves, had begun by resigning their functions. Their example will probably soon be followed elsewhere. A person occupying a high official place in the Home Department has gone to Fontainebleau to communicate to the Emperor directly the unplea sant results of the Circular. MR.

ESCAPE OF THREE DESERTERS —Early on Friday morning an occurrence ef a most daring character took 1 , 1 ice n.t Fermoy, resulting in the escape of three sol diers from the guardhouse, where they were temporarily confined awaiting the sentence off a ‘mrt-martial, before which they had been that day e c and convicted for desertion. At about 1 o'clock finding the entire of the sergeant's party on guard-12 men—lying about the room fast asleep, one of the fellows, named Smith, put on his shako and overcoat and left the room, followed by the other two prisoners. They attacked the sentry, who alone was keeping watch, and beat him in a terrible manner. The three deserters—two Englishmen and the other an liishman—then scaled the barrack-wall, and effected their escape so successfully that up to a late hour on Friday evening all search had proved fruitless. The sentinel lies in a precarious state.—C/olinl RELEASE OF A BRITISH BANK DIRIECTCORP.a—peAIir, M‘Leod, one of the directors of the Royal British Bank , was yesterday released from the Queen's Prison, his term of imprisonment (three months) having expir ed. r i- A_Vr) P. Ales. A' n 2e . en: m.-elii,g , f the So&ety of A. ts, Mr. S,!..tt lius..ell in the chair, a paper was read by M. John Macgregor, "On the Paddle=wheel and Screvv-propeller from: the earlissr, times." After having advertmg to the suppo -e i use of paddles worked - by animal j owes for thelifcipillsion - of ves sels by the ancient Egyptians, the Romans, and the Chinese, Mr. Macgregor says he first finds authentic proof of their - win in two letters, written ;1 1 a. n. 1543, by Blaseo de Garay, and now pre- - served in. the national archives at Simahe;s, in Spain. These give the particulars of experiments at Maleg a an d B arcelona with large vessels pelled by paddle wheels, turned by 40 men. He, however, finds no e v id ence of the asserted use of seam by Garay for marine propulsion. The mus cular poWer of men, of horses, and of other ani mals, was often tried and frequently patented, even to the year 1848, by Miller ; and 1856, by M ose s. The Marquis of Worc e st er , i n 1631,' patented the application of a current, to turn paddle-wheels on or t a vessel a hich they propelled 'b y windirg up a rope. Papin, in .1690, propo se d to wort; wheels by gunpowder, exploded under pistons ; Conrad (1709) used the force of the wind, Maillard (1733) and Goutaret (1753) applied clock. work, (Rarriott (1797) used falling water ; weights were employed by Tremeere (1801), Congreve (1827) used the capillary attraction of a wheel of sponge or glass plates ; Dundonald (1833) applied the ostillatiana of mercury ; and Jacobi (1838) em ployed an electro-magnet to work the paddle-wheels of a vessel on the Neva. The article number of Eng lish patents relating to marine propulsion is 802, from the earliest, grante I to Ramsey in 1618, to those of Juue, 1857. The first patent relating to a steam-boat is that of Jonathan Hulls, tu 1736. He placed a paddle-wheel en beams projecting over the stern, and it was turned by an atmospheric steam-engine, acting in conjunction with a counter poise weight, upon a system of ropes and grooved wheels. The first notice of a successful trial of the steam-beat recorded by witnesses is in a notarial cart ificate, in Pads. This asserts that in July, 1783, the Comte de Jouffroy caused a vessel of 130 feet in length to be propelled for a quarter of an hour by a steam-enl. ins on the Saone, n9ar Lyons. Experi ments conducted about the Sam: time , at Dal swinton, in Scotland, by Patrkk Miller, re sulted, in 1787, in the successful use of the steam engine, by Miller, Taylor, and Symington, to propel a vessel by paddle-wheels, which worked one before the other in the centre of the beat. The Charlotte Dundas was built on the Clyde Canal, in 1801. Although Fulton used a steamer on the Seine in 1803, and another in America, the Clermont, in 1807, was the first that plied SO'RS to be remune rative in that country. In 1809, the Fulton the First . , steam-frigate, was launched at New York. Bell bull the Comet in 1811, at Glasgow, and used it regularly for traffic next year. In 1815, Dr. Dodd steamed from Glasgow, by Dublin, to Lon don, in the Thames, which made a stormy passage of 758 nautical miles in 121 hours. Steam navi gation was introduced into France in 1815. In 1818, Napier's steam-packets ran regularly betwet n Green , ek and Belfast. It is said that, in 1819, the Savannah steamed from New York to Liverpool, but the assertion is very questionable. The Comet first carried the Admiralty pennant in 1822. In 1825, the Enterprise steamed from England to Cal en ta is 113 days. Guns were first carried by the s•eatner Salamander, in 1832. The Emperor .of Japan received a steam yacht, as a present from the Queen of England, in 1858. The Chinese now use mock steam-boats, with paddles turned by m-n concealed inside. Having thus traced the h'story of the paddlewheel, the paper proceeds to describe the various positions in which it was placed, and the various plans and i nven ti ons re -1 tting to its several parts—the shaft, the wheel, the floats, the paddle-wheels----in all of which there have been many successive modifications in shape and adjustment. Turning to the screw propeller, which, Mr. Macgregor thinks, may have been suggested by the motion of a windmill, as that of the paddle by the action of a watermill, it appears that several attempts were made previous to the introduction of steam to make the screw available for the propulsion of vessels. In 1729, Duquet submerged an ap paratus like a smoke-jack, or windmill, and the action of the stream turned its shaft 84 as to wind up a rope. In 1746, Bouguer states that " revolving vanes, like those of a windmill," had been tried for the propulsion of vessels, but it is not clear that the axis was t urne d by force inside the vessel, or t' at the mode was an ad vance on that of Duquet's. The use of the screw propeller in China may be of an indefinite an tiquity. A model of one was brought from that country about the year 1780. It had two sets of blades, turning in opt rite directions ; hut the first distinct description of the screw-propeller to be turned by machinery inside a vessel, seems to have been by Dr. Bernouilli, of Groningen, ill 1852, and it is remarkable that this, though the earliest recorded proposal, was well enough matured to comprise the use of oblique vanes at the bow, sides, and stern, turned by a and capable o f b e i ng h o i sted out steam-engine, of the water. Iu 1768 Paucton proposed the pterophorts, a screw thread on a cylinder, to by wholly or partly immersed. In 1770 James Watt suggested to Dr. Small the trial of a steam screw propeller. Bramah, in 1785, first patented a rotary engine for this purpose ; Ramsay (1792) put the screw between two mills, and Littleton (1794) used a three-threaded screw, while Fulton (1798) tried one with four blades. Shorter's screw (1800), with a jointed shaft, and worked by men, was ap plied in 1802 ta H. M. ships Dragon and Superb. The first screw steamer was tried by Stevens in America, in 1804. In 1825 Brown used one in the Thames. The only patent for conahniug the screw propeller and the paddle wheel is that of Turck, in 1852. The Bee, a naval steam tender at Ports mouth, has carried both paddles and screw since 1342, but they are not worked t gether. The forms of the screw propeller and the modes are as varied as those of the paddle wheel, and the forms which have been proposed for the blades, both in out line and section, are innumerable. The more im , portant of these are noticed in the paper. In conclu sion Mr. Macgregor says :—" In the modes of propul sioa adopted by aquatic animals may be found al most every plan which has been uaed by man with machinery. 'Thus water is ejected for propulsion by the cuttlo fish, and ' paper nautilus' sails . are nice' by the velella and water birds • punting and 1 'cl sir ' et folding towing by whelks and f the t _ cri e n p ' ° a - ddle i s ; by a ducks, paddle by the labster,- h ea fishof P and oblique surfaces by Lice appendage is found in the wings of an Austra lian fiy, but it is supposed to he shaped thus only wh-n dried after death. There is, however, one remarkable animal which propels itself by a rotary mo vement, acting on the water by means similar to those of the paddlewheel and screw- propeller 'com bined. This is the infusarial insect Paramecium: My attention was called to this miniature L viathan by Mr. Rol ert Mallet, and after some l mon tha of ineffectual search, I was fortunate enough to see is operations distinctly in one of Mr. Tom kin,' splendid microscopes. A sulcus or furrowed groove runs oldsquely round the oval-shapedtbody f the animal (in one variety it is only near the stern). A wave-like protuberance passing along this sulcus (with or'avithout cilia) causes tke body to ro ate on its longer axis, and thus propels it as by the fore-and-aft stroke of a paddle, as well as by the screw like progress induced by thespiral groove. The coloured diagrams around us 'show, without verbal explanation, the gradual progress ohf marine propulsion from the early days of its more particu- Baby lon, and Egypt. We bane traced u of the lar application in the rotato se r Y these combined in paddle wheel and screw, and hsavweork en tio s.

There is it appears, ,ome difliculy about making satisfactory traffic arrange 'merits f r the stage, it being found that carts and other heavy vehicles damage the planking very seriously. The expediency of another and fifth bridge, entirely devoted to carts and cattle, is at present under consideration, together with the employment of cranes a n d o th er tackle to be erected on the piers, so the' heavy g oo d s m i g h t be thug paced upon the stage, the incline of the bridges at lowwatt r being excessive.
