MONEY MARKET AND CO :NI Id ER C AL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and the pricea of most descriptions were fully id. per lb. lower. The sales were estimated at 3,000 balsa. In the Railway Share Market there Was no change to report, and values were without alteration. The influx of specie has suddenly increased, and as the demand for silver is quieter, and fewer ship ments will consequently be made to the Continent, it is expected that the bullion in the Bank of England will be further augmented. The Rent arrived yesterday with about 192,8001., and the La Plata is announced, this morning, with about a quarter of a million sterling on board, chiefly in silver. Upwards of 350,0001. is still due from the antipodes, which in addition to that - which may be received from America, and other places, will insure a further import of specie. rnder these circumstances it is not considered improbable that the Bank of England will at once reduce the rate of discount to 2i per cent., because the com petition out of doors is sufficiently active to with draw from the national establishment the limited amount of discount business that is now offering. It was at first imagined that they would ot make any further relaxation, inasmuch as it was not likely to produce any adequate advantage, but it is now thought that they will adopt a similar course to that which has been fol lowed in former periods when the situation of the establishment has warranted a❑ alteration. The position of the " till " is now considered better than it has been in past times, when a minimum of 2i per cent, has been established. The inquiry for discount accommodation is very quiet, and at the Bank of England the applications aro exceedingly limited. Silver is rather cheaper, the bars brought by the last Mexican steamer having been sold at ss. 13d. per oz. standard. About 45,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday, and it is expected that fair proportion of the remittances received by the Teviot and tile Kent will be similarly appropriated. The foreign exchanges continue dull but steady. There was a special meeting to-day of the Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway Company, at which the resolution for making the 15,000 of 7 per cent. 101. Preference shares convertible into ordinary shares in 1863 was carried, unanimously. There is a firm market for English Securities, and the general tendency of the quotations is favourable, but business continues dull, and very little variation has taken place. The imports of specie, and the expectation that the new Ministry Will prove successful have caused an improved tone, but speculation is still very much restricted. Consols have been 961 for money, and 96i 97 for account, but they are now firmer, viz., 961 9 7 and 97 to 971 respectively. The New Funded Debt is steady. Exchequer Bills are 38s. to 425. premium. Foreign Securities are rather firmer and the 41nount of business transacted has been rather ex tensive, but prices do not exhibit any particular alteration. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 101 to 102 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 1101 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 4 44 ; ditto Deferred, 26i ; Buenos Ayres Deferred, 18 ; Equador New Consolidated, 14; Grenada New Acti►e, 191 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 801 ; Venezuela 4/ per Cents., 33 ; ditto Deferred, 121 ; Dutch 2i per Cents., ; and ditto 4 per Cents., 101, The following are the nominal prices of Foreign s tocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 64; Mexican, 20 201 ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 80 81; ditto 3 per Cents., ; Portuguese 3 per Cants., 45 40 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 99 101; Spanish 3 per Cants, 44 441 ; ditto New Deferred, 261. A moderate business has been reported in the Railway share Afarket to-day, and prices have ex hibited a fluctuation of about I to per cent. North .Eaatern (Berwick) declined ss. ; Caledonian, Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, South Wes tern, and North British, 10s. Eastern Counties I ltid Midland improved 55., and Brighton 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines are quiet, and exhibit littl e variation in prices. East Indian have irn- Droved. 10s. ; Pernambuco, ss. ; and Sambre and &euse, ss. No business of importance has been transacted 14 Mining Shares, and quotations are nominal. For Joint-Stock. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there is a limited demand at slightly improved valu es . London Chartered of Australia have ad 'lanced ss. ; Oriental Bank, ss. ; Canada Land shares, North of Europe Steam, and Van Dieman's Land shares were dealt in at former quotations. 41 triiiiI FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK .

T he : obje c t o f the promoters of this scheme is to provide l ong needed want, viz., a large first-class commodious motel i n the heart of London, combining all the comforts tied conveniences of the best clubs in England, and the 44 dibg hotels en the continent. The company proposes t,, erect a magnificent structure of the above description, I, l4 ting a frontage of 800 feet, abutting on the Strand, l orlei g h- s t ree t , E xeter - street, and Wellington- street, .eluding the ground now occupi e d by th e Ly zeu m T heatre. A better spot for such a purpose could i ll h 4 be found in London—it is mid way b e t ween Lge parliamentary and fashionable, and the cern gireial and business portion of the met ro p o li s , 1 is in close proximity with Government offices, the , c lerte of law, the theatres, and within a shilling fare of : 1 . 1* 9 railway terminus, with two exceptions. The con- L l eeal extension of the net work of railway to the re motest part of the kingdom is daily making the want of t ech a n es t a bl is h ment more ev id en t as th e f ac ilities of tr avelling augment the num b er o f v i s it ors to this centre t ' government, capital, and commerce.

ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Bong, Sir J. Romilly.) BIBLEY V. BIBLET.-JUDGMENT. His Honour the faster of the Rolls, in delivering judgment, said the question in th;s case ultimately to be determined is, who are the persons beneficially in terested under the appointments made in virtue of the powers contained in the settlement made by John Birley and Margaret his wife, in. June, 1800. His Honour was of opinion that the powers of appointment were of a fiduciary character only, and * that the donees of the power could not appoint absolutely.- Margaret survived her husbznd, and by deed of settlement executed in 1847, and subsequent deeds devnied the residue of the property to William Birley and others proportionally and absolutely. It was objected that they were not the objects of the plower, but the settlement of 1849, and the powers of appointment therein contained are described in the deed of sale of Nov. 4, 1i55, and confirmed by the deed of 1857, which shows that be is the person bene ficially entitled to the residue of the property. Costs to be taken out of the trust funds. Cases referred to—Tucker v. Saunders, 2 AlgLa!• land and Hare, p. 5S ; Opinion of Chief Baron Alex ander, 2 vole,. Devine and Charles ; Lord St. Leonardo on Po were of Appointment ; Tucker v. Saunders, 7 vols. Young and Jarvis ; RuCtdge and Davis ; Greavee Wilson. To be mestioned as to costs. His Honour said that, having scrutinised this case, he was of opinion that the plaintiff should have the costs of the suit. SECONDARIES COURT. (Before Mr. Secondary Putter.) lIRESCII OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—TUCKER V. CIIIGNEL. Mr. Salter, for the plaintiff, said that this was an un defended action brought by the plaintiff, a respectable young lady of Wandsworth, against the defendant, the only son of the keeper of a large hotel at Southend. Plaintiff and defendant met at a party at Southend, and the defendant paid the young lady such attention that she gave him permission to write and visit her, of course, with the consent of her parents_ Matters progressed ro favourably that in September last the banns were pub lished, and every preparation made for the consumma tion if the desired end. The 21st of September was named as the wedding day, bnt, at defendant's cl‘sire, the affair was put off for a week. At the expiration of that time, however, defendant not making his appear ance, plaintiff's mother went to Southend, and saw de fendant's mother, who said she knew her ion was find of plaintiff, but of course it was his own business. Plain tiff had been very ill ever since. Defendant was only son of the keeper of a large hotel at Southend, and the damages was laid at 1,0001. No reason whatever bad been assigned by defendant even to the present time, and all the expostulations made by plaintiff and her friends were met by excuses. W. Tucker said—He was a master painter at Clapham, and his daughter Jassy, the plaintiff, was his youngest child, By witness' permission defendant paid his addresses to Miss Tucker, and she went down to the hotel at Southend and remained there fer a short time. Def-•ndant had ne►er assigned any reason for breaking off the match. Plaintiff's mother pro►ed going down to Southend to expo,tulate with de fendant. Defendant's mother paid they were very com fortably off, and the couple might have been very happy together. The learned Secondary aaid it was for the jury to say what the damages should be, always bearing in mind that there was ❑o doubt evidence as to defendant's paeans. The jury having consulted far a short time fOund a ver dict for plaintiff, damages 50/. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SUICIDE IN THE THAMES.—Yesterday morning just at the period of high water, a female, unknown, precipi tated herself into the Thames, by leaping from the em bankment below Vauxhall Bridge. A n a l arm was raised, and boats put off, but she sunk before they could reach her. The body was not recovered. A cambric handkerchief, marked "E. F. Young," was picked up close to the spot where she was standing. SUICIDE or A Sominmentsr.—A w oman, residing at Bordeaux, unusual x discharging a l oa d e d pistol at her breast.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.—At a Court of Aldermen yesterday Alderman Wire moved that it be the duty of the Town Clerk to make inquiries whether any mem bers of the court, or of the Court of Common Council, have become disqualified under the 9th section of the 12 and 13 Vic., cap. 94, and that he from time to time lay the names of such members before the court. Alder man Humphery seconded the motion. The act is to the effect that any one convicted of fraud, or become bankrupt or insolvent, &c., shall be disqualified for the office of alderman or common councillor. Alder man Siduey and Alderman Humphery then called the attention of the court to the case of Alderman Cnbitt, who bad been recently convicted of a m isdemeanour for Theycontended cbt u effect, t erected the pi er at, Alderman erecting a pier in the river, after he bad obt a i ne d t h e permission of the corporation to do so. that it would be utterly absurd tosuppose th a t such a case same within the meaning of the act.

WAIFS FROM WARWICK. . 1 . 2 3 The meagre appearance presented by Ur. Sharpe's Garebooge cards did not prepare those turfites who made the trip to Warwick for an exuberance of sport. Indeed the five races brought out only twenty-two runners and the proceedings would have been utterly insignificant except for the first appearance this season of Saunterer who entered the lists against Commotion and Odd Trick. The black an, however, on whom 7to 4 was betted did not show much of that marvellous form which be displayed in the autumn of last year and if his running to-day be correct he could not have won the Cambridgeshire with 7st 41b on his back, albeit be got third, carrying Bst 121 b. For the Trial Stakes he was ingloriously defeated by Odd Trick and Commotion at even weights ! The other events decided were marked by neither interest nor importance. People seem to regard Weathercock as a good thing for the Steeplechase, and expect that with him the French division will repeat their Jean du Quesne triumph of last year. According to his Liverpool run ning the wind of fortune may give him a good turn, but should Wonatoroook tiPanl it 9•21 . /7, to aspire to success, perhaps either Escape or Black Bess may pull through. Border Chief and Englemere appear to me to be as worthy of notice as any animal handicapped for the hurdle race, and I shall not be surprised to see Old Dog Tray the winner of the steeple chase handicap. Tke fiat race will depend so much upon the running to-morrow (Wednesday), that I shall not attempt to guess its result. Leamington, Tuesday night. THE ECLIPSE. • Mr. J. P. Nichol, of the Glasgow University . gives the following account of the late eclipse : The eclipse in this quarter bas been a sad disap pointment it has neither frightened ner in• structed any body. The sky has not fallen down, as Mr. Hind forewarned us, nor have we learned anything about beads, strings., polarisation or red protubtras.ces. I am personally rather irritated at thie, for I had made arrangements, in conjunction with my friends, Profefsor William Thomson and Dr. John Taylor, to examine everything and discover something ; but the inevitable Perm interfered.- IJntil the close of last week our weather was brilliant; wind from the north and east, l and a clear, keen, bard-biting frost. The . wind changed on Friday, and has vibrated since between west and south-west. Of course the sky also changed, and clouds appeared. This morning, however, was one of consider able promise ; but even so early as 10 o'clock the issue had become manifest enough. The beginning of the eclipse and its progress for some time were seen, although uncertainly, owing to the frequent interference of clouds. As the period of greatest darkness approached the. clouds thickened and accumulated, so that at the very time when physical research ought to have been pro ceeding, we had only the most momentary and tantalising glimpses of the phenomenon. The attempt to discern any red floating masses or protuberances, even by aid of our Breadalbane telescope (a fine equatorial reflector of 21 inches diameter), was of coarse out of the question. Trie following numerical determinations may interest some of your readers ; most of them refer to the contact of the shadow with a striking group of spots on the sun's disc : H. H. s. Time of first contact ll 42 33'6 Moon and centre of first spot • ~ largest spot The largest spot was of triangular shape. The fol lowing indicates the time of contact of the lunar disc with its three "'harp curves : H. H. S. First curve Second curve Third curve l2 25 14 . 36 Contact with last spot of group The foregoing numbers indicate Greenwich time. The eclipse taking place so soon on nom, gave as the oppor tunity of noting the time of transits of the cusps : H. M. S. Transit of I. cusp Transit of 11. cusp Transit of 11, limb of sun 23 41 27'37 Those numbers are in sidereal tia e. I had arranged to note all the importaht meteorolo gical movements every quarter of an hour during the eclipse. I transmit the indications of the barometer and dry and wet bulb thermometers. The indications of the black bulb thermometer I must not send, for reasons that are very obvious. Dry Bulb, Wet Bulb, Hour. Barometer, Thermometer. Therm. h. in. deg. see. deg. See. 11.15 11.30 11.45 Noon. 0.15 0.30 0.45 1. 0 1.15 1.30 1.45 2. 0 2.15 The heights of the barometer given above are the observed heights reduced to zero of temperature. The thermometer fell about the time of greatest obecuration, but by no means so much as seems to have been generally expected, the cause being the precipitation of moisture, and the screen interposed by the clouds, as a barrier to direct communication between the surface of the earth and external bodies. The diffusive influence of the clouds also prevented that degree of darkness being felt which would have been felt had the day been bright. In the latter case we should have seen the brighter of the fixed stare that were above the horiz -41. I siecerely hope that this eclipse has yielded more and better fruit in other regions. But let not our young astronomers of the West of Scotland be discouraged, for although this eclipse has failed them, the "great comet" is coming. The latitude of the Observatory of Gia.gow is 55 deg. 52 min. 42.6 sec. ; its longitude is 17 min. 11.8 sec. west ; and the height of the cistern of the barometer above the level of mean water at Greenock is 200 feet. DUBLIN, MARCH 15. The sky was covered from an early hour this morning with dense grey clouds, which fully accounted fur the absence of curiosity or anxiety which is usually mani fested on the approach of a phenomenon so unusual as a solar eclipse. The clouds which covered the whole sky, were rapidly drifting from the west during the whole day, so that no satisfactory observations could possibly be made to verify the singular appearances which have been described by astronomers. Occasional glimpses were ob tained through holes in the cloudy envelope which invested the eartb. The full disc of the sun was seen for an instant just as the eclipse commenced. Again it was seen for a few moments, at 1112. 45m. ; at 12b. 20m. it re-appeared ; and at occasional intervals could be discerned through the clouds with the naked eye. The ap pearance presented was that of the silvery crescent well defined in form the line joining the cusps being appa ' rently the diameter of'the disc. Nothing further can be said as to tbetappearance of - the son. A 6 the moment of greatest oltscuratioti there was a partial gloom thrown on surrounding objects which cleared of as the moon moved off. Mr. Airy recommended, in last Saturday's Athenceum, that the barometer and thermometer should be observed. It may be satisfactory to him to know that the barome ter stood at 38.040, without any variation, during the eclipse ; the temperature of the air was 52 deg. F., and fell about one degree during the period of greatest ob ecuration ; the wet bulb thermometer stood at 49 deg., and fell with the other to 48 deg. ABERDEEN, MONDAY, 2. 30. The eclipse has gone off well. We have had fine weather, dry and clear. A few fleecy clouds have rather helped t hel observers, by saving their eyesight, whatever may have been the effect on the men of science. A de tailed account by next post.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold it appears that gold is nearly 3-10ths per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Haniburg the price of gold is 420 per mark, and the short exchange on London Main.f per 11. sterling. Standard' gold at the Englis price is therefore about 6-10 the per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. ; The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days eight is about 109} per ceot., which, w izen compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exofianga is r e t about at par; and, after making allowance for • charges of transport and differenci of interest, the present a leaves a small pro fi lt on the importation a gold from the United State,. b w e i r t t h , o w ut ho pu r r e c t ha ire s s e. ; Ensign G.
