NOXEI 1 1 1.11?KET AND CITY NE TVS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. A very limited business has been transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the past few days. Prices, however, of most of the Principal staples have been well maintained, as holders have not pressed sales. The continued prevalence of easterly winds has prevented the arrival of large quantities of produce, and the deliveries have been on' a rather limited scale in consequenee. Tea, at public sale, has realised full rates for th e b e tter descriptions, but scented qualities were slightly in favour of buyers. The transactions i n sugar have been exceedingly small, and only for the immediate requirements of the trade for home con sumption. In the Refined Market, however, a fair business has been transacted, and at full values. Coffee, rice, and rum have been dealt in to a mode rate extent, at former rates ; and in new fruit the transactions have been rather active, more particu larly for the finer qualities of currants and Valencia raisins. Figs of the better qualities are scarce, and nave obtained high rates. Saltpetre has met a steady demand, at about former quotations, and tallow has shown a slight improvement. The public sales of foreign and colonial wool better descriptions fully maintain the rates esta blished at the commencement of the series. In the Liverpool Cotton-market yesterday, rather more animation was apparent, and previous rates 'Were fully maintained. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. In the Railway Share market a very limited business was transacted at former values. 11 , The gold by the Lincolnshire has been delivered; a part has been taken for the continent, and it is "Pected that the remainder will be similarly ap propriated. The demand for money in the discount market continues steady, and the rates remain without the slightest change of importance. An extensive absorption is going on for railway and other .pur- PeSeS. Calls to the amount of £65,000 are announced for East Indian lines alone during the month, but there is some satisfaction in knowing that a large proportion of• these withdrawals, un like the proceeds of foreign loans, is expended in this country in the manufacture of rails, and other materiel. Some of the East Indian railway shares have slightly improved, but they still remain at prices quite disproportionate to the rate. of 'interest they viz., 5 per cent. per annum. The immense supply, with which the market is flooded, is the !.° lll 7 explanation that can be afforded, and it will Probably require the lapse of many months before t he Public will absorb a sufficient quantity for in vestment, to float these securities at a premium commensurate with their merit and advantages. It is stated that an agreement has been entered into between the London and North-Western and t he North Staffordshire Railway Companies, whiCh , St is expected, will result in an amicable adjust lent of their differences. Arrangements are reported to have been made by th e Mid land Company for leas i ng t h e " Littl e " North Western at 31 per cent. per annum. The market for Public Securities is very dull, toand a d ec li ne of per cent. has taken place, owing a few specul a ti ve sa l es .

FOREIGN. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS .DAY.) THE HOP II UTI ROLLS' COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir J. Rotellly.) JUIDG;MENT.-HA.WKSWORTH V. HAWKSWORTH. His Honour the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judg ment, said—ln this case of Hawksworth v. Harksworth, I have looked into the wards of the will, and the expressions used by the testator, and reconsidered the pleadings, and I retain the opinion which I expressed yesterday, viz., that the whole of the property, real and personal, undoubtedly falls under this residuary clause. lam of opinion that the legacy in favour of the testator's daughter, Emma Green Hawksworth, vested in her on the death of her father and mother; and the bequest in favour of his wife tank effect on his death, and both were to be paid by the residuary legatees out of his residuary estate. Mr. Bagahaw, Q.C., said that the residuary legatees had already paid a sum of money into court sufficient to answer the special legacies in the will. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., asked for a special declaratiot on the minutes. His Honour said he did not think it necessary to make any specific declaration, but only express the declorations in tho will. It was ultimately arranged that the declarations men tioned in his lordship's judgment, to save expense, would be inserted in the minutes, and that it would net be neces sary to go into Chambers to arrange it. COURT OP QUEEN'S BENCH. THE NEW JEWISH OATH. A rather singular occurrence took place this morning. Mr. F. H. Goldemid, Q.C.. of the Chancery bar, Mr. A. Henriques, and Mr. Jacob Waley, attended the Court for the purpose of taking the usual oaths of allegiance, abjura tion, and supremacy, and signing the roll. The oath of allegiance was duly admininisterd and signed. Mr. Robinson, the Chief Usher, proceeded to aduinister the oath of abjuration, commencing with " I, Francis Henry Goldsmid, on the true faith of a Christian.") Mr. Goldsmid stopped the usher, and reminded him that he was a Jew, and the oath he waato take was proeribed by the Oaths Bill of last session. Mr. Robinson, on looking at the oath, was compelled to postpone the administration of the oath of abjuraton, he not being prepared with the engrossment of it. THE MANCHESTER AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY t. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN COMPANT. The Attorney-General said the Court, would allow him to mention the above case, which stood for argument in the paper. It was a case of great magnitude. Lord Campbell—Certainly it is a case of great magni tude, looking at the extent of the papers. (Laughte.) The Attorney-Ge9 t era l -Yes, my lord, they are contained in 91 closely printed pages, and I haye only just received the first copy ; :it was quite impossible that I can be prepared to argue the case. The case was an issue to be tried, by order of the Master of the Rolls, at Liverpool, and then referred to Mr. Stuart Worthy, as arbitrator, but afterwards turned into a special case for the opinioli of this court, and the arbitrator had only within the la 4 two or three days signed the case. Lord Campbell--Do you wish the case to be postponed until next term _ _ _ TheAttorney-General — l should like to have done so, but my friend Mr. Bevil objects. The case will, I think, occupy two days. Mr. Justice Erle—How long was the case before the Master of the Rolls. The Attorney-General—Twelve months, my lord. Mr. Bovill said it was of great importance that the case should be taken as early as possible, as it affected the station at Manchester, and the question of which line of railway the public should go. Thousands of pounds were involved in the question. SCHOONER. After some further conversation, it was arranged' that the case should stand first in the special paper for next term. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HEARTLESS ROBBERY OF CHILDREN.—Arne Eaton, a decently dressed woman, was charged before Nr. Beadon with stealing a shawl from a little child uained George Grey. There was a second charge against tke prisoner, but only one was taken. The mother said that, on the previous evembg, she sent her little boy on an errand in the street in which she lived, Crown-street, St. Giles's, and not finding him return, she at length went after him, when the was told that he had had his shawl taken away from him by a female. James Ellis, of Brownlow-street, said he was unpacking some goods at the back of Crosse and Blackwell's, in Sut ton-street, when he hsard a child scream, and the prisoner running, and the child running after her.' He at once threw down some things he had in his hand and pursued her into Oxford-street, and after dodging round an °mut bus, she dropped a shawl. Ile held her till a constable came, when he gave her over, and the shawl was given to the child. Mr. Beadon put several questions to the child (an intel ligent little fellow, about seven years of age) and he answered them in a most satisfactory manner, at the conclusion of which Mr. Beadon said he would have him sworn. George Grey (the child) then said that the prisoner came up to him and said if he would come with her she would give him some pudding. He told her they did not sell pudding in the street, and she then took him into a dirty corner and said she would pin his shawl for him, and she then took it off and ran off with it. The prisoner at first denied all knowledge of it, but after wards said she was guilty. Mr. Beadon—Yes, and of the most aboininable thing possible. I shall sentence you to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. It is believd the prisoner is one of a numerous class of children robbers at:present carrying ontheir practices among the children of working men. THAMES. DASTARDLY ROBBERY.—Thomas Hoonan, a labourer, aged 42, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing five wrenching irons and a mallet, the property of Thonias Barton, a shipwright. The two men were in the employ of Young, Son, and Magimy, the eminent shipbuilders of Limehouse. On Thursday morning last the prosecutor deposited his tools in a box in the yiird. On the following morning he missed five wrenching irons and a mallet, tools indispensibly necessary to enable him to proceed with his work. The prisoner, who is a drunken, reckless, dirty fellow, was suspected, and taxed with the robbery, on which he assumed to be very indignant, and denied that he had stolen the tools. Yesterday afternoon the prosecutor found his tools at the shop of Mr. William Croucher, a dealer, of No. 109, High-street, Shadwell, who said he had purchased them on Friday. Croucher accompanied the prosecutor to Young, Son, and Magnay's yard, and immediately pointed out the prisoner as the individual of whom he bought the tools. The prisoner, who vehemently denied he was the thief, was given into custody. Barton identified his tools, and said the prisoner had ac cess to his box. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and added, " Settle it here as soon as you can." Mr. Selfe said the prisoner had committed a most das tardly robbery in stealing the tools of a fellow-workman, and he aggravated his offence by his continual denial of his dishonest act. He sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. THIS DAY'S MI4RKETS, DEPUTATION TO THE GOVERNMENT. This morning, according to arrangement, a deputation from the hop-growers of Sussex, Mid-Kent, and other placeg, attanded at the Treasury, for the purpose of having an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the purposeTof urging the repeal of the hop duty. Mr. G. A. HAMILTON, in receiving the deputation, said he had to apologise for the absence of i la Chancellor of the Exchequer, but the right hon. gentleman had been com peled to attend at Windsor, and therefore he should have great pleasure in hearing the observations of the deputa tion. Mr. DODSON, M.P., said the deputation consisted of gen tlemen from Sussex and different parts of the Farnham district. It would have been much larger—upwards of 500 gentlemen being anxious, by their presened, to testify the strong feeling that existed on the subject, but the Chan cellor, in his communication, requested that the deputation might be limited. The present attendance represented a large and increasing body, who felt that the excise duty on hops was unequal in its operation, and unsound in princi ple, and therefore ought to be abolished. They believed that the hop interest would never prosper until it was released from the payment of this Excise duty, which was unfair in its pressure upon articles of most unequal value, and levied upon the raw material, perfectly imma terial whether that raw material was ever taken into con sumption or not. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BACON then read the memorial, which stated that the market price of hops was not regulated by the fact that a duty of 2d. per lb (or, say 195. per cwt.) was paid upon them. The market value of hops was regulated by supply and demand, and as the demand was, so to speak, mainly limited to the consumption of beer, it followed that in a year of abundant hop growth the supply was in excess, and the market prices naturally fell to a very low figure, without any reference to the amount paid per cwt. as Excise duty. The practical effect of this was, that the duty came out of the pocket of the planter, instead of being paid, as was the rule with duty-paid commodities, both in principle and practice, by the consumer. The state of things which obtained at present would supply a striking illustration of the operation of the duty. Sussex hops were now selling from 40s. for ordinary to 665. per cwt. for the very finest marks. Deducting the amount of duty (say 195.) and the net price would be 21s. to 375. per cwt. Now, as the prime cost of producing these hops would exceed 48s per cwt. it followed that, at the highest price just quoted, the planter was subject to heavy losses. The memorialists confidently maintained that were there no excise duty on hops, the market price would be little, if at all, influenced by that fact, since the price was alone regulated by supply aid demand, except in so far as the effect of the duty was to disturb the market and drive down prices. The operation of the tax was also most injurious, inasmuch as, owing to its collection at stated periods, May and December, it caused the market to be glutted at those times, in order to enable the planter to raise the needful funds. The hon. gentleman then alluded to other topics, and concluded by strongly urging the necessity of a repeal of the unequal and unfair duty levied upon hops. Several other gentlemen having stated their views, Mr. HAMILTON said he should have groat pleasure in laying before the Chancellor of the Exchequer the views and opinions of the gentlemen composing the deputation, and he felt that he need scarcely inform them that the right hon. gentleman would give the subject his best con sideration. The deputation having thanked Mr. Hamilton for his attention, then withdrew. THE WRECK OF THE JANE 3IARY The adjourned inquiry instituted by . the Board of Trade into the cause of the loss of this vessel took place yesterday at the Greenwich Police Court On the former occasion it was alleged that some of the crew had made a statement before Mr. Terry, the Receiver-General of Wrecks, that the captaii was intoxicated at the time of the wreck, and had afterwards made a declaration that such statement was untrue. They, however, denied that they had made such declaration, and the inquiry was ad journed for the attendance of Mr. Terry to speak to the fact. Mr. Terry now deposed to the first-mentioned statement having been made and sworn to by the mate and steward. On the following morning he was sent for, and they said they wished to with draw the statement they had made, as it was quite false, being made in a moment of irritation on account of their not receiving compensation for the loss of their clothes. - They, however, refused to sign a declaration to this effect, as they said they would be chargeable for perjury if they did so. Mr Trail said it was highly improper on the part of the witness to have sent in such a statement as that, without mentioning the fact of the parties refusing to be sworn to its contents, as it led the court to infer that this had been done. Captain May was then recalled, and denied the charge of drunkenness, as also that he had stated the ship could not strike soon enough for him, The mate and steward had told him they had made the charge of drunkenness because he had not offered to compensate them for the loss of their clothes, and were willing to withdraw it if he would do so. He said every one should be paid what was due, and they then said they were willing to withdraw their statement. Mr. W. T. Phillips, shipowner of Tooley-street, Borough, spoke to the character of Captain May, who he denied was addicted to habits of intemper ance. He also knew him to be an efficient seaman. Mr. Traill said the evidence was of such a nature as to cause the delay of a few days in making a report to the Board of Trade, but this would be done without lose of time. RIGHTS OF RAILWAY EXCUR SIONISTS. At the last county court at York, Mr. E. T. Snowdon, of that city, sued the North-Eastern Rail way Company for the sum of £5125., for an assault committed upon him by one of their servants, and for an alleged breach of contract. It appeared from the evidence adduced, that on 16th August last the plaintiff obtained at the York booking-office six first-class tickets for an excursion to Scarborough and back, for which he paid 245. The plaintiff and his wife, and a party of friends, rode together in a compartment of a first-class carriage to Scarborough, and on returning thence at night they endeavoured to secure places together in the same way ; but while the plaintiff's friend, who had taken posses sion of a compartment of a first-class carriage, was in search of the plaintiff and his wife, two other excursionists deposited themselves ,in the reserved places, and refused to give them up to the plaintiff and his wife. The plaintiff thereupon got into the carriage and persisted in seating himself upon one of the arms, in consequence of which he was ulti mately pulled out upon the platform by the super intendent of the station. The plaintiff alleged that he could find no other first-class carriage, and that he and his wife returned to York in a third-class ; but the assistant station-master deposed that there was room in a first-class carriage, which went back empty. The judge said that as the plaintiff's friend had no authority to reserve the seats claimed by the former, and as the carriage was full, the super intendent was justified in removing the plaintiff, which he appeared to have done with no more force than was necessary. As to the other allegation, that the defendants did not supply sufficient accom modation, it had been proved that they did, and therefore it seemed to him there was no breach of contract. In such excursion trains to such places as Scarborough there was always considerable eon fusion, and the same attention could not be expected as in ordinary trains. He should, therefore, give a verdict for the defendants, with costs. Shares Railways. Paid]Closing Price. Businoss Done. i Share -- Railways.

TEA.—No business of importance has been transacted iu the private contract market. At public sale, about 16,700 packages of China were offered, of which about 3,677. were sold, at fully previous prices. Common congou is quoted lid per lb. SUGAR.—The market continues very inactive, and prices are without the slightest alteration. In the refined market rather more business has been done for home consumption, and previous rates have been fully supported. COFFEE.—The market continues very quiet, and notwith standing the short supplies, owing to the continuance of the easterly winds, prices have shown little improvement. RICE.—No change of importance can be reported in this article. A few contracts for exportation have been entered into, but there is little activity exhibited. Runt.—The demand still continues very inactive, and the few transactions entered into have been at former quo tations. FiluiT.—The finer qualities of new currants still continue in great demand, at full rates ; but inferior descriptions are neglected. Valencia raisins, figs, and almonds are in good demand, and the finer descriptions of figs are scarce. SALTPETRE.—A moderate business has been done, and prices have been fully supported. TALLOW.--The market is very steady, and prices have an upward tendency. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 51s; all the year, 50s 9d ; and spring delivery, 51s to 51s 3d per cwt. The Belgian journals record the marriage of four brothers to four sisters, celebrated at the same time, at Mons. A letter from Paris says :—" This wa s a l wa ys a great place for extravagant dinners. The other day Prince Napoleon treated an assembly of connoisseurs to Chinese dishes, such as birds' nest soup, &c. The day before yestet day a still more eccentric banquet took place at the Trois Fri-'res, at which the novel feature of rats' -tail soup was in troduced. My informant, one of the guests, a man wholly devoid of prejudice, assures me that it does not come up to ox-tail by any means. There was also a chicken killed and dressed after the Horatian precept— ' Doetus eris vivam miste mersare Falerno Hoc tenor= faciet—,' and a dish of fricassed gymnoti, or electric eels, only to be found in the muddy waters of the Nile."

The inquiries issued by the French Government to the agridulturists of the Northern counties as to the operation of free trade have been answered in the county of Northumberland by Mr. John Grey, of Dilston, a well-known practical farmer. The queries, with the replies, are as follows : "1. Has the area of laud under culture been ex tended or diminished ? " Diminished in some parts of the country, be cause the high price of live stock has caused land of inferior quality and in high situations to be more profitably . occupied in pasture than in tillage ; but lowlymg lands and flat districts, with a climate suitable for growing corn, it has been increased by drainage. "2. Should that area have diminished, would not that diminution have been compensated in some measure by the extension given to drainage and the consequent augmentation of produce ? " Yes ; much more than compensated by the im provement arising from draining and the applica tion of adventitious manures. " 3. What has bean the influence of the reform of the corn laws upon the agriculture of England? " The cultivation of land has been much im proved ; a stimulus has been given to the energies of farmers, who set themselves, after the first feel ing of alarm subsided, by the aid of scientific men, to study and obtain chymical combinations to in crease their crops, which, together with draining and the introduction of foreign manures, produced highly beneficial effects. A great improvement has also taken place in the implements already in use, and in the construction of new ones, by which agricultural operations are performed more cheaply, perfectly, and expeditiously. "4. Since the reform, has the yield of cultivated lands augmented or diminished ? " Greatly augmented. "5. Has the rotation of crops been altered, and in what manner ? "It has in some cases, by leaving arable land for two or even three years in pasture at a time, and in others by the application of guano, bones, phos phates, &c., by which the extent of root crops has been much increased, and substituted for naked fallows, which tends to an increased production of beef, mutton, and wool, as well as to a greater return of home-made manure. "6. Have farm-rents been lowered or elevated ? " Considerablyadvanced, particularly where farms are let on lease and provided by their - landlord with good and sufficient offices. An increase of from 10 to 20 per cent. has been common,and in some cases it has extended to 25 and 30. " 7. Has the income of those who cultivate their own lands augmented or diminished ? "It ought to be augmented under judicious ma nagement, as rents have increased under good farming. " 8. What of the income of farmers, and what are the modes of lease most in use, and their usual length ? " Except on tillage land of an inferior descrip tion, where little live stock is kept, farmers are generally more prosperous. A common term of lease is 15 years ; but in cases where the farm is extensive, and improvements are to be made, in volving considerable outlay in the early part of the term, a lease of 21 years is preferable and not un usual. " 9. Has the marketable value of land increased or diminished ? " Increased. That, however:may not be entirely attributable to agricultural improvements, but in part to the influx of gold and the success of manu• factures, causing many to wish to invest the for tunes they have realised in land. " 10. What have been the average prices of wheat, and the quantities imported from abroad in each year since 1853 " The average price in 1854 was £3 12 4 per qr. If 1855 .. 314 8 „ ff 1856 .. 3 9 2 „ 9! 1857 .. 216 4 „ I cannot tell the quantity imported at this moment, but it can be obtained from the Board of Trade, or other official sources. " 11. What has been the average produce of corn in Northumberland each year since the same date ? " I cannot answer that question with accuracy, but am satisfied that it has been much more per acre than in former periods, and that the total quantity produced in the county is greatly increased. " 12. What has been the influence of the repeal of the corn laws on the consumption of bread and the consumption of meat ? " The consumption has greatly increased of both corn and butcher's meat. The price 'of corn has been moderate and generally free from much fluc tuation, while the wages of the working classes have been good and their employment has been steady ; so that they have been able to procure meat as well as corn, although the former has generally ruled at rather a high price. It is an undoubted fact that the lower classes in this country live now much better than they used to do, owing to the good wages they obtain, and the general improve ment of their condition. An obvious result of the abolition of restrictions on the importation of corn is, that excessive fluctuation and the misery of famine prices are likely to be avoided. The larger the arca from which the national supply can be drawn the less is the probability of extreme prices, because if crops should be deficient in one part of the world they may be abundant in another. " It may not be improper, in connection with this subject to remark, that although the progress of improvement has been the most rapid and impoy taut since the change was made in the corn laws in 1846, it received a great impulse 10 years earlier from the Act of Tithe Commutation, which encou raged the application of capital to land , b y makin g tithes a fixed charge:instead of an exaction of the tenth of its gross annual produce. ire (Ashton _Reporter) have the has gratification o being able to inform our reade rs that a letter beenre ceived from the Right Hon.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF MURDER. —On Friday last a man was apprehended at Fleur-de-lys, in Monmouthshire, charged with committing a murder in one of the Welsh counties 33 years ago. The circumstances of the case, so far as they are at p resent r eported, are briefly hese :—ln or about the year 1826 a man named Thomas Price, alleged to be the prisoner, lived in Carmarthenshire, where ho was paying his addresses to a young Welsh woman. Another young man, named Lewis Williams, became attached to the same girl, and frequent quarrels arose between the rivals through the coincidence of their choice. The girl herself seems first t o h ave encouraged one and then the other, but exhibited no decided or permanent preference for either, and this increased the ill feeling be tween Price and Williams. At length they agreed to " fight out" the dispute in a field, and both repaired there alone for the purpose. A struggle took place, in the course of which Price got his opponent to the ground, and while in that positiOn stabbed him with a knife. The neortunate man died soon after, and his murderer escaped. A warrant was issued for the apprehension of the latter, but the police could never find any t race o f hi m un til l as t week, when a man, who formerly knew all the parties, happened to be on business at Fleur-de-lys. Here he saw the prisoner, and declared him to be no other than Price, who committed the murder described. Price still retained his name, and had been living in the place where he was found ever since the occurrence. He was apprehended and brought before the magistrates at Newport on Saturday, but remanded before any particulars were gone into. Communication was at .. once made vita the Carmarthenshire police, and the depuos_. tions taken at the coroner's inquest on Williamsobta The prisoner is a gray-headed man, and, not being called s_ upon to say anything, was silent while before the trdos, THIRD EDITION.
