CITY, Two O'CLOCK. During the last few days there has been rather more animation in the markets for Foreign and Colonial produce. Prices, however, have not varied to any material extent. Tea continues extremely firm, and for the better qualities of st4ar full rates have been realised. Coffee has been maintained at extreme rates, particularly good qualities of Plantation Ceylon. In rice and spices the dealings have been limited, and in some instances prices ' have receded. Rum has attracted a fair inquiry, and fruit has exhibited a slight improvement. Saltpetre continues inac tive, at about former quotations ; and tallow, has been dull, with a downward movement in value. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday an average amount of business was transacted, and prices of all descriptions were fully supported. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and quotations tended downwards. The steamer Parana, which leaves to-day for the West Indies, will take out £122,720, the greater Part of which is on account of the New Chilian Loan. A steady demand for money is still experienced In .11e general market, where the Bank minimum, 2 per cent., is charged for first class bills, the supply of which is decidedly larger. At the Stock Exchange, however, loans are again negotiated on Government Stocks at 2 per cent., Which will tend to diminish the demand at the Bank, where 2f per cent. is required for similar accommodation. It is nevertheless imagined that the " Other Securities," at the national establish- Ment will now exhibit a gradual increase, owing to the reviving tendency of trade and the usual requirements of the commercial public at the close Of the year. A favourable movement was reported on the Paris Bourse yesterday, the 3 per cents. having realised to-day 73.30 for the end of the month. The meeting of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company to-day, was to consider the resolutions of the 2d November for dissolving the company, and disposing of the vessel, which, after some dEs eussion, were confirmed. At the half-yearly meeting of the South Austra lian Company, this day, a favourable report was read, showing an increase in the company's revenue durin g the last six months of £869 145., and of £1,894 7s. 9d. compared with the year 1857. The directors state that the dividend, at the rate of 7 Per cent. per annum, agreed to in June, would be payable on and after the 15th of January next. The market for English Securities has been very dull, a further decline of about 9 per cent. having taken place soon after the commencement of busi ness. Speculators for an advance are deterred from extending their engagements through the increased demand for money, and the numerous projects which are likely to be brought forward durin g the next few months for public support. The advices from Italy have also tended to depress values. Consols have been 96Z 97, but they are now decidedly fiat, at 968 buyers. Bank Stock is 225/ ; the New Threes are 971 ; and the Reduced 979; Long Annuities, 13-16 ; the March tills, 365. to 38s. ; June ditto, 365. to 38s. prem. ; and the Bonds are firm, viz., 1002 R ; India Loan bebentures are 998. Foreign Securities continue rather heavy, espe cially Turkish, and quotations are steady. The old 6 per Cents. are 921 to 931 ; Scrip, Ist issue, to dis. ; ditto, 2d issue, 1 dis. to par. Chilian Loan 12 4 to I prem. Brazilian 41 per Cents., 1858, are steady at 95t. Grenada are firm at 201, and Spanish remain at 471. Venezuela Bonds are flat—viz., 4 41 to 45 for the 5 per Cents., and 171 1 for the Deferred 5 per Cents. The committee of Spanish American bondholders .have received advices from Mr. Mocatta, dated 19th ult. He was at La Guttyra on his way, via Puerto Cabello, to Valencia, where the Convention is sit ting. The Budget of the Minister of Finance was printed. It states that the produce of the annual revenue was estimated at 3,900,000 dols., of which it is proposed to apportion 500,000 dols. to the in terest of the foreign debt, and to the domestic debt 275,000 ; the general expenses of the State being calculated at 3,065,000. The Treasury debt for contracts, &c., -to be converted into the consolidated debt. About 500,000 dols. is destined to pay off diplomatic claims. He proposes to delay all pay ments until July next year, so as to pay off the en gagements contracted by the revolution. Mr. Mocatta states that he himself estimates the annual revenue at an amount nearer to 4,500,000 dols. The Venezuelan dollar is to be calculated at 61 dols. to the £1 sterling. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co., give the following as the prices of the American Securities : Redeemable. Prices.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—John Chip, a short, wiry-looking man, was charged with assaulting a female, named Ann Robins, in a very brutal manner. From the evidence given in the case it appeared that the prosecutrix had been in company with the prisoner and his wife and others at a public-house, and on leaving some slight words ensued, and, without any further provocation, the prisoner struck the prosecutrix two or three severe blows in the face, blackening one of her eyes, and causing some severe bruises ; and not content with this, while she was on the ground, he gave her several severe kicks, causing bruises about her body. To such an extent had he carried his brutality, that, on her being taken to the Middlesex Hospital, where she was attended to by the. surgeon for an hour and a-half, she fainted, and the surgeon stated that one of the bruises on her face was the effect of a kick. Mr. Bingham ordered the prosecutrix to be examined by a female connected with the court, and a constable brought back word that the injuries on the prosecutrix's body were quite to the extent deposed to. For the defence, the prisoner entered into a rambling statement, stating that they had been drinking brown brandy and ale, gin and stout, and that one of the witnesses (a female) who had come against him was a woman that " encoys" females away from their husbands, and had " deliberately " paid for some gin ; and as to the bruises, that they were done by the woman's own husband. Mr. Bingham said it was an aggravated assault, and clearly came within the meaning of the act, and committed the prisoner for three months. THE CHARGE AGAINST THE PORTER OF THE CARLTON. —William Smith, porter at the Carlton, who was charged some days since, and a report of which case appeared in this journal, with robbing a female named Franklin, was _again brought up ; and the prosecutrix not being in attend ance, he was discharged. THIS DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE Since Monday, very little English wheat has come to hand coastwise, the supply being only 1,620 qrs, and by land carriage to-day the receipts were limited. Although the show of samples was small, the demand for all kinds was in a sluggish state, but we have no quotable change to notice in prices. There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on the stands. So little business was transacted in it that the quo tations were almost nominal. The supply of barley was seasonably large, and most kinds met a dull inquiry, at Monday's currency. In malt very little was doing, on former terms. Oats, beans, and peas were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper. _ _ _ The transactions in flour wore much restricted. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK; Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats.

TATTERSALL'S.-THURSDAY._ Although the attendance did not emceed " a Thursday's" average, speculation was more active than it has been of late on that day. For the Two Thousand 4to 1 was offered on the field, and 7 to 1 was offered against Ralpho, who was backed on Monday last at 6 to 1 to some money ; 16 to 1 was taken shout Hal o' Kirklees to £5O, and 20 to 1 was offered "bar five ;" 600 even was betted on Cynricus against Lord of the Manor. 10 to 1 was offered on the field for the Derby. The odds quoted against Electric and Cavendish were taken to £lOO about each of them. Merryman was frequently inquired after, and 40 to 1 was wanted about Balnamoon, but the highest offer was seven points short of the price required. 1,100 to 100 sous. was taken about Musjid and Electric coupled. TWO THOUSAND. 4to 1 agst Promised Land (offered) 7to 1 agst Ralpho (offered) 16 to 1 agst Hxl o' Kirklees (taken) 500 even on Cynrieus agst Lord of the Manor (taken) DERBY. - - 10 to 1 agst Promised Land (offered) 20 to 1 agst Musjid (offered) 23 to 1 agst Electric (taken) 25 to 1 agst Cavendish (taken) 33 to 1 agst Balnainson (offered) 11 to 1 agst Musjid and Electric coupled (taken) Dr. Beck, of Dantzic, has just made a curious discovery. He has found an antidote, or rather a counter poison for ardent spirits. It is a mineral paste which he encloses in an olive, and which at once absorbs and destroys not only the rising effect, but likewise the disastrous conse quences of drunkenness. He tried several experiments on a Pole, an irreclaimable drunkard. The individual, named Itadevil, swallowed three bottles of brandy in succession, and after each bottle ate an olive prepared by the doctor. He experienced neither the effect of drunkenness nor the slightest sickness. APPEAL-SIMPPARD V. OXENPORD. The Lord Chancellor, at the conclusion of the arguments of the appellant's counsel in this case yesterday afternoon, affirmed the decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood, and dismissed the appeal with costs. ROLLS COURT: (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT.-ILACRET V. ALEXANDER. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judgment said, I am of opinion that the plaintiff has wholly failed to make out his case. Taking the most favourable view that I can take for the plaintiff, I am disposed to agree with the contention and suppose that Mrs. Sarah 'Alexander did give instructions for the prepara tion of the deed that was executed by her, as a mortgage over her property at Fencham, Surrey, on the 30th November, 18.57, for £5OO, and placed it in the hands of her solicitor, Mr. Evans, as an eskcrow se curity for that amount to any person who might advance the money. Yet she did not authorise Mr. Evans or his clerk, Mr. Beattie, to borrow from the plaintiff £440, and afterwards £75 on that security, and apply it in payment of an account due by her to him. His Honour considered the evidence given in the cause extremely contradictory, but it appeared that the mortgage deed was not to be handed over to the mortgagee until the money was paid to her, and as the money was not paid to her the plaintiff was not entitled to the mortgage security executed byher over her property. His Honour dismissed the bill with costs. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.) SMITH V. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This case, which occupied the court until a late hour last evening, was resumed this morning. The plaintiff was a commercial traveller for the firm of Serjeant, Webb, and Smith; drysalters of London, at a salary of £l3O a-year, and a guinea a-day for expenses. On the 13th of August last he w.ts a passenger by the Great Northern down express train, which leaves King's-cross at 8 45 in the evening, and he was a severe sufferer by the accident which happened about midnight, three-quarters of a mile from the Coulton station. He was laid up for a month at a village inn with concussion of the brain, con sequent upon a wound on the head, and medical men gave it as their opinion that his general condition was weakened, his health impaired, and his mental powers diminished since his comparative recovery. The accident arose from a fish train having sunk and come to a standstill, in consequence of the ballast under the rails being washed away by an unparalleled flood. The express train, in which plaintiff was a passenger, dashed into the trucks, the engine was thrown off the line, the carriages were broken and upset, and the passengers thrown out, some into a ditch up to their necks in water, and some into an adjoining field. Many were the injuries received, and this is only one of a , series of actions which have been brought against the company to recover compensation. The case of " Maitland and Wife v. The Great Northern Railway Company," which was tried in the Court of Exchequer last week, was one of them, and the evidence in this case was very nearly a repetition. The company denied their liability, and attributed the accident to the demolition of a bridge over the river Beck, which, instead o damming back the water, as it had done while it stood, released an immense body to swell and give impetus to the collected waters near the line, about 3.1 miles distant It was proved beyond doubt that the bridge gave way at half-past eleven, and that at ten minutes to twelve, or about ten minutes before the accident, a heavy train passed over the spot where the rails became displaced in perfect safety. Scientific witnesses proved from meteo rological observations at East Retford and llighfield, near Nottingham, that the rainfall was twice as much in an hour and a-half on tha day of the accident as on an average during the whole month of August. Mr. Edwin James, Mr. Sergeant Hayes, and Mr. Badde ley appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Phipson, Mr. It. Clarke, and Mr. Honeyman for the rail way company. The jury had not returned their verdict when wo went -0 press. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, :Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice Wines and a Special Jury.) MARTIN AND OTHERS V. THE EASTERN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. This was an action to recover the rent for the yard where he Great Eastern was built, from Oct. 16, 1857, to March l, 1858. The plaintiffs are Messrs. Martin and Stone, the bankers. The defendants are proprietors of the Great Eastern. The action was brought to recover double value for six months' holding over a portion of the land occupied by the Great Eastern, OM to the difficulties met with in launching her. The plaintiffs were the bankers of Mr. Scott Russell, and at the time of his failure (he having previously made an assignment to the defendants of the vessel, tools, &c.) they had made large advances to him, and held as security on mortgage his shipbuilding yard, upon part of which the Great Eastern was built. After his failure his affairs were wound-up under inspection, and the creditors, in February, 1856, agreed with the plaintiffs to pay them at the rate of £lO,OOO a-year for 12 months. This rent was paid/or the year which expired February, 1857, and then an arrange ment was made for the payMent of £2,500 for six months, excluding certain parts of the premises. This rent was for the freehold portions of the land, and was in addition to rent for the leasehold portions, and also interest on a prior mortgage ; rent was paid till August, 1857, and from that time till the end of February the defendants, compelled by the circumstances of the launch, were in possession of part of the premises. The sum of £2,500 had been paid for the rent for two months up to the 16:h of October, 1857. The demand for possession was on the 20th of October, with notice that double rent would be claimed. On the 20th of November a writ of ejectment was issued. The vessel was launched on the 31st of January, and on the 2d of February judgment was signed in the. action of ejectment. In Fe bruary the possession was given up. The question was as to the amount to be paid for the period referred to. The plaintiffs claimed at the rate of MO,OOO a year from the 16th of October to the Ist of March. The question was complicated by various considerations with re ference to the value of machinery, the interest to be paid on mortgages, &c. The plant was stated to be worth £30,000, the loose tools, &c., X 20,000, and the use of the whole went with the premises. The negotiations were partly in con versation and partly in correspondence. The contention on the part of the defendants was, that the arrangement as to a rent of £lO,OOO had only been on the understanding that the plaintiffs should not claim as creditors, but should take their securities in satisfaction. Another question was whether the plaintiffs could claim anything for the tools ; and the defendants contended that as the assignment to them was prior to the mortgage to the plaintiffs, the claim as to the plant was very doubtful. Much of it was upon land never mortgaged ; and it was indeed stated that the greater part of the vessel was on land not mortgaged, but the remainder overhung, and so con structively occupied, the land which was mortgaged to the plaintiffs. The recovery in ejectment was likewise relied on as inconsistent with a claim for rent. The case was proceeding when we wont to press. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE GRANT.-SERIOUS CHARGES. The bankrupt, who was described as of Cheapside, trunk manufacturer, came up to pass his last examination. Mr. Beard appeared for the bankrUpt, and said that the examination had been adjourned from November for the production of accounts, which unfortunately the bankrupt had been unable to furnish; inasmuch as for 12 months of the time over which the balance-sheet extended the bro ther of the bankrupt had carried on the business, the bank rupt having been in a situation ; the books had been so fin perfectly kept it was impossible for the bankrupt to furnish complete accounts, he, therefore, suggested the bankrupt should be allowed to pass, all questions as to conduct to be reserved for the certificate meeting. Mr. Dodd, for the assignees andcreditors, objected to any further adjournment, except sine die. The case was one of the grossest frauds that had ever come before the Court. In' June last he had petitioned under the Private Arrange ment Act, and swore that he had assets, and made an offer of payment of 20s. in the pound, by three quarterly in st,%lments, but before the first instalment was due (only a few days), the whole of the property had been swept away, besides which he had obtained goods from creditors without anyreasonable means of payment. Therefore, he (Mr. Dodd) had not only to ask for an adjournment sine die, but for an order of the Court for the prosecution of the bankrupt. Mr. Beard again urged that the object could be attained by an adjournment to obtain the assistance of the brother to endeavour to amend the accounts. His Honour—But you say you cannot amend the ac counts, and therefore the case must be adjourned sine die. Mr. Dodd—And your Honour will probably make an order for a prosecution ? Two creditors said that they were determined to prose cute. His Honour said the creditors must make out a ease be. fore he could make any order on that point, and an exami. nation upon the bill take place. Mr. Beard applied for protection, which was refused. We are happy to state that letters have been re ceived from the party of young Englishmen travelling to the Red River Settlement, dated Fort Garry, October 28. All were quite safe.

We regret to announce the death of Dr. Richard Bright, the eminent physician, by which the medical profession has lost one of its most illustrious Mem bers. Dr. Bright died yesterday, at half-past 12 o'clock, after a short illness. Thelamented gentle man received patients and was out in his carriage on Saturday last, after which he complained of in disposition, and retired to his chamber, which he was destined never to leave again alive. Richard Bright, M.D., was the third son of Mr. Richard Bright, of Ham-green, Somerset, and was born in Bristol in September, 1789, so that he was in his 70th year. After the usual course of elementary education at a private school in his native city, and afterwards under a private tutor at Exeter, he matriculated in the autumn of 1808 at the Univer sity of Edinburgh. During his first year he de voted his attention almost exclusively to the general lectures delivered at the University, among which were those of moral philosophy and political economy, by Dugald Stewart; of natural philo sophy, by Playlair ; and the mathematical lectures of Leslie, in the higher class of which he that year successfully competed for the prize. In the fol lowing session he pursued studies more immediately connected with his profession, and besides attend ing the course of chemistry by Dr. Hope, and the lectures on anatomy by Dr. Monro, and on the Institutes of Medicine, by Dr. Duncan, he availed himself of the excellent anatomical course delivered out of the college by Dr. John Gordon. In 1810 he went, together with Dr. Holland, with Sir George S. Mackenzie to Iceland. On soming to London that year he took up his residence within the- walls of Guy's Hospital. He remained in Guy's during two years, and during that period, stimulated by the inspiring energy of Sir A. Cooper, he acquired a taste for pathological investigation. In 1812 he re turned to Edinburgh to further pursue his medical studies ; and in Sept. the following year he gram aced, having written his thesis De Erysipelate Con tagio. He next proceeded to Cambridge, and entered Peterhouse, but only remained there for two terms, and subsequently became a pupil of Dr. Bateman at the Dispensary, and applied himself closely to the practical part of his profession, particularly direct ing himself to pathological inquiries. In 1814 he visited Holland and the chief cities of Germany, and arrived at Brussels about a fortnight after the battle of Waterloo,. and found much of professional in terest. Dr. Bright, in Dec., 1816, was admitted a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians,and was shortly after elected assistant physician to the London Fever Hospital. In 1820 he confined his public duties entirely to Guy's Hospitral, of which he had been elected assistant physician, and con tinued to di3charge the duties of that office till 1824, when, on the retirement of Dr. Laird, he suc ceeded him as physician to that institution. For some sessions he lectured alone, and afterwards associated with him Dr. Addison. In 1832 he was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, and the following year was appointed Gulstonian lecturer, and in 1836 chosen one of the four censors —the late Drs. Paris and Chambers and Sir H. Holland being his colleagues. The late Dr. Bright had contributed largely to the advancement of me dical science by his numerous works, far too nu merous to be enumerated in this brief notice. His works on dropsical affections have a universal re putation, and have been translated into all the languages of Europe. He was greatly esteemed by the members of his profession. Dr. Bright was Physician Extraordinary to the Queen, was a Fellow of the Royal Society and several other scientific institutions. He was twice married— first, to Martha, youngest daughter of the late Dr. Babington ; and secondly, to Miss Follett, youngest daughter of Mr. Bryan Follett, of Topsham, near Exeter, and sister to the late Sir W. Follett. THE POLICE AND THE MILITARY AT WOOLWICH. On Wednesday a deputation from the Woolwich Local Board of Health, consisting of Mr. Morgan (chairman), the Rev. T. Tuffield, and Messrs. Ruegg and Jackson, waited upon the Commissioners of Metropolitan Police, by appointment, for the pur pose of representing the necessity of increasing the number of police-constables for the district, in consequence of the numerous military riots which have recently occurred, and also an alteration of the existing system of non-interference with sol diers by the police force. The deputation were received at Scotland-yard by Sir Richard Mayne, Chief Commissioner, who paid great attention to the statements made. Mr. MORGAN observed the deputation was ap pointed at the meeting of the Woolwich Local Board, as numerous outrages had recently been committed in the town of Woolwich upon civilians by the military, and especialiy by the militia. The deputation did not complain of the conduct of the R division of Metropolitan Police on duty at Wool wich, but the force was manifestly too small to cope with the evil which prevailed. Mr. RUEGG observed that some two years since an order was issued to the police of the district not to interfere with soldiers unless under extraordinary circumstances. He could not say that an official order was given, but certain it was that the police of the district avoided interfering with the military as much as possible. The result was that unless a military picket was in sight when a row took place the disorderly soldiers committed out rages almost with impunity. It was quite true that the mere handful of police on duty at Wool wich was entirely inadequate to preserve the pub lic peace and to protect the civilian population. It had been stated in the public press that the metro politan police force was to be considerably aug mented, and if this was correct he trusted that the commissioners would consider the necessity of pro viding more constables for Woolwich. After some remarks from the Rev. T. TUFFIELD, Sir R. MAYNE observed it was a mistake that an augmentation was about to be made in the metro politan police force. Certain alterations were to be carried out, but the force was not to be augmented. He was surprised to hear about an order for non interference with the military by the police, and would make inquiries on the subject. He was not aware that any such order had been given, and if so it certainly ought to be abrogated. With regard to increasing the force at Woolwich, he should be happy to meet the views of the deputation as far as it might be practicable consistent with the require ments of other metropolitan districts. He would institute inquiries on the subject. The deputation, after thanking Sir R. Mayne for his attention, withdrew. 13.1NX .RETUBNAS. JOINT STOCK BANKS.
