MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS• CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have been moderately active. Tea, however, has continued inactive. Sugars have been dealt in to a fair extent, chiefly for refini ng purposes ; and in the Refined Market previous rates have been fully maintained. There has been a good demand for the better descriptions of coffee, full rates hav ing been readily obtained. Rice has been actively dealt in, and in some instances at advanced prices. Fruit and specie have been in steady re quest, at former quotations. For saltpetre there has been a moderate inquiry, the finer descriptions realising fully late values. Tallow has been dull, there having been a very limited demand for con sumption, while the speculative transactions have also been restricted. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a moderate amount of business was transacted at pre vious values. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales. The Railway Share Market continued active, and prices further improved. _ There is no diminution in the demand for money, and the rates still exhibit an upward tendency, but it is scarcely imagined that the Bank of England authorities will have occasion to modify their re gulations with the view of resisting the pressure. At the meeting of the Canada Company, to-day, Mr. C. Franks in the chair, the retiring directors and auditor were elected, and the report, of which the following are extracts, was unanimously adopted: —"S atis factory as have been the operations of the company during the past year, the re turns since January 1 are still more encouraging; up to February 24, the date of the latest advices, 3,117 acres had been sold and leased at 50s. 4d. on average ; 36,746 acres converted to freeholds; whilst the collections of money amounted to £43,443 cur rency, being an increase, as compared with 1859 : —ln land sold and leased of 637 acres, and ss. 4d. per acre ; in leases converted to freeholds of 13,959 acres; and in receipts of £17,014 currency. The directors have to report the receipt from the Buf falo and Lake Huron Railway Company of the second instalment of £1,950 sterling, due 31st October last, on account of the pur chase money of the Harbour and Lands at Goderich, together with £663 interest. The line now extends into the town, and a passen ger station is in course of erection in East-street. The junction with the harbour will probably be carried out in the course of the present year ; meanwhile the works for the improvement of the latter are being proceeded with. The accompany ing plan shows the proposed route to the harbour, and the lots in the town still possessed by this company. The facilities that will be afforded on the completion of these works for the transport of produce, will, it is hoped, give an impetus to the trade of the town, and add to its population, and the value of property therein." An unfavourable effect has been produced in the English Stock Market to-day by the speech made last evening by Lord John Russell with regard to the annexation of Savoy. At one time a decline of per cent. took place, but the tendency of prices has since become rather better. Consols are 941 I for money, and 941 1 for account. The New Threes have been dealt in, by special transfer, at 94k. India Stock is flat at 218 ; ditto New Loan is 1041; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper has re ceded to 98 I ; and ditto Debentures (1858) to 97. The dealings in the Foreign Stock Market have been limited, and prices are very depressed. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 79 to 791 ; ditto New, 614 to 62 ; and the 4 per Cents. have receded to 101 . 7 1- ; Mexican to 211-, Russian 41 per Cents. to 961, and Brazilian 41 per Cents. (1852) to 901 ; Sardinian remain at 831. The New Brazilian Loan is a dis. to par. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 3 to 3 1 prem. ; the Universal ditto, 4 prem. ; and the Buenos Ayres Railway, 11 I prem. The traffic receipts on the Great Western Rail 'Way of Canada, for the week ending 9th instant, were £8,732, being an increase, compared with last year, of £275. The amount to be paid in the shape of railway calls during the month of April, so far as can be 118 Certailled at pLebeut,, la .007 T,OOO. Less firmness was apparent to-day in the Railway Share Share "Itket, p r i ces h a ving sympathised with the rece ive ded ss. in the English Funds. Great Western have ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, North- Western, and So uth -Eastern 10s. ; Great Northern, A Stock, and N orth-Eastern (Berwick) 15 s. ; and Brighton, Midland, and South Wales £1 ; Eastern Counties have improved 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have also shown a downward tendency. Lombardo- Venetian are 11k, 11! ; Paris and Lyons, 3 5 1$ 35 1 ; East Indian, 1022 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 341; Great Western of Canada, at 12-4, 13. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have shown no material variation from previous rates. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. ....3 per Cent. Consols Annuities ASW 3 per Cent.

Their arrangements were " nb in u Plate and perfect as far as Alexandr i a , bu t they w ere the carriage to rely on Lord Elphinstone to make provision for i." carriage of the men and guns from Suez , and hi s Excel feY was obliged to rely on untrustworthy ships and un i7"ala resources, which failed him and the Artillery at the zt moment. The Auckland broke down, and never passed e n ue ll; a steamer promised by the Peninsular and Oriental o f ZParlY Was not forthcoming, owing to an accident to one th e i r " company's fleet, whiclicompelled them to employ all available ships on the postal service, and the only yes sel that arrived at Suez was the Berenice, which had been Nevaed as a kind of supplementary vessel.—Arlity and Gazettf, DOCKS. ..~~ :~;a I Paid Closing /kith" Share Docks.

This great metropolitan club, despite the extreme rough ness of the weather, opened their season at Putney on Saturday last, when, in addition to three eights, the new 12-oared outrigger, built. by Jewett, of Dunstan, was out, and considerable interest was created by the announcement that she would on this occasion be pitted against a picked eight, both boats being manned by members of the club. The race started from Hammersmith-bridge, and was level at a fine pace to near the Crabtree; here the twelve had drawn nearly their lengt h in advanc e o f th e e i g ht, and succeeded in beating them at Putney by a couple of lengths. The Oxford crews were coming back from their first trial about the time of the race, and, with some crews o f the West London Rowing Club, whose beat four gave the London picked eight 30111 Q work to beat them, the river presented a most annuatrod appearance, RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.

The directors in their report state that the earthworks of the section between Lahore and Umritsir, 32 miles in length, had been finished in a satisfactory manner by the native contractors, for the small sum of £l5O per mile. The perma nent way necessary for this section had been placed along the line, the rolling stock had left England in January last, so that there appeared every reason to believe that the two capitals of the Punjaub would be placed in railway communication before the end of the current year. The earthworks of the whole of the remaining 218 miles from Lahore to Mooltan had been let with the sanction of Government to nativ contractors on similar terms to those for the Lahore and Umritsir section, and the works along the line were being energetically pro ceeded with. The permanent way materials and rolling stock for this portion of the line were being rapidly forwarded, and there was every prospect of the whole railway being brought to an early and satisfactory completion, and at a very moderate cost. It would be necessary to make a call of £5 per share, payable in Juue next. The directors continued to receive every facility from the home authorities, and also from the local Government in India, for the prosecution of the works. The capi tal account showed that £240,249 had been ex pended on the works, &c., £28,369 paid as interest to the proprietors, £3,636 in hand, and £342,526 with the Secretary of State for India in Council— total, £614,780. CAPE TOWN. The directors state in their report that since the last meeting much progress had been made in the earthworks on the line and in the shipments of materials. The greater portion of the rails and sleepers were now on the ground between Cape Town and Stellenbosch. The direction of the exten sion line into Cape Town and the position of the terminus there had also been decided. Four power ful locomotives had been despatched to the colony, and one moiety of the carriages and other rolling stock was now in course of shipment, so as to pro vide for the opening of the first section of the line with as little delay as possible, whereby a consider able impetus would be given to the undertaking. Under the terms of their contract the company were bound to expend £25,000 in work and materials to the satisfaction of the colonial engineer within a period expiring on the 4th of last month. The directors had received the certificate of the colonial engineer, verifying the due fulfilment of that obli gation. All calls, or payments in anticipation of calls, bear the guaranteed interest of £6 per cent. per annum from the date of payment into the com pany's bankers. The capital account to the 29th of February last showed that £100,850 had been received; and £72,080 expended, leaving a balance of £28,770. OTTOMAN (FROM SMYRNA TO AIDIN.) The directors in their report state that the delay that had occurred in the progress of the first sec tion, and other local matters, induced the board in November last to request their consulting engineer to visit the works. Since that period the chair man, Sir Macdonald Stephenson, had also proceeded to Smyrna, and the reports of both those gentle men as to the future prospects of the undertaking were satisfactory. The directors fully concur with the consulting engineer in the importance of a branch from a point 361 miles from Smyrna to Tireh, which would bring the traffic ever the en tire length of the first section of the main line. One of the principal obstacles to the more vigorous prosecution of the works had been the want of funds, many of the shareholders having failed to pay up their arrears. During the past half-year the total receipts from calls amounted to £89,523, making, together with the previous payments, £352,723; while the arrears from the commencement to this time amounted to £72,206. Since the 31st of Dec. £3,268 had been received, of which £1,948 was on account of calls in arrear. To enable the com pany to prosecute the works, the directors had determined on raising a sum not exceeding £250,000 on debentures. On the part of the Turkish Govern ment there existed an earnest desire to render all the assistance required by the company. The report of Mr. E. Clark, the consulting en gineer, stated that the permanent way was now laid over about 18 miles of the first section, which was fenced in throughout its entire length. There still remained a large amount• of work to be done before the first section could be opened for public traffic. 21118 DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

HOME CIRCUIT.—KINGSTON, March 26. :Before Lord Chief Justice Erle and a Common Jury.) PERCIVAL AND WIFE V. LEVY. This was an action against the proprietor of the Daily Telegraph newspaper, to recover damages for a libel. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and a justification. - Mr. Ribton and Mr. WDonnell appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Haw kins, Q.C., were counsel for the defendant. Mr. Ribton, in opening the case to the jury, said that the plaintiff; although in humble circum stances, and who gained his livelihood by working as a porter at the different wharves on the river side, was a very respectable person, and he brought the present action against the proprietor of the Daily Telegraph newspaper, to recover damages for a libel that had been published in that journal, which had cast the most serious imputations upon the character of himself and his wife. He then proceeded to state that the case arose out of a charge of rape, that was preferred by the daughter of the plaintiff, Hannah Percival, against a man named James Powers, in December last, under these circumstances .—The plaintiff's daughter, it ap peared, was employed with several other girls and women at a bedstead manufactory in Thames aua was the iorenlan In tne esta blishment, and the charge that was made against him was that he had taken advantage of his posi tion to commit the offence imputed to him, and he was taken into custody upon that charge on the ith of December, and was examined before Mr. Alderman Abbiss at the Mansion house, and Was remanded for two days, and upon the second Bring, the Lord Mayor being present and concurrinp in the proceeding, he was committed to take his ti 411 ' to the Central Criminal Court, when the gra -! uiury ignored the bill. The libel complained c, of reports of the examina tions and comr ents upon the evidence in leading articles, the material portions being that the plain tiff and his wife were accused of h av i ng ma d e th e charge against Powers for the purpose of extorting money from him, and that he would not have been given into custody if he had agreed to a proposition that was made to him by a woman named I )awson, with the sanction of the plaintiffs, that he should pay a sum of money to hush up the charge. The articles also contained some very strong comments upon the magistrates for having sent so serious a charge for trial upon such weak evidence as had been adduced in support of it. The various reports were put in evidence, and it appeared from the examinations before the magistrates that Powers from the first declared his entire innocence of the charge, and it also appeared that the girl, Hannah Percival, made no complaint until a fortnight after the commission of the alleged offence, and she ad mitted that improper intercourse had taken place between her and Powers on three other occa sions after the supposed act of violence without any complaint on her part, and she also admitted that she had a book of a most obscene character in her possession, and that she showed it to another girl who was employed in the manufactory. lhe woman Dawson, it appeared, also stated, when she was examined, that Mrs. Percival sent her to Powers, on the Saturday before he was given into custody, and told her to ask him for some money to settle the affair, and that he declared h e had done nothing wrong and said he would not give a shilling, and that Mrs. Percival then said that she would prefer the charge of rape against him. The woman Dawson also appeared to have proved that Powers complained, in the presence of the girl, of the cruelty of her making such a charge against him, and that she then said that he had not committed the offence, but had merely attempted to do so. John Percival (the plaintiff) and his wif e were examined, and they proved most of the fact s a b ove narrated connected with the charge made by their daughter against Powers, and they both swore positively that they never authorised Mrs. Dawson to make any propo s iti on to Powers matter by the to settle the payment of money, and that their only object in taki ng him bef ore a magistrate was to obtain redress for the injury which they believed he had inflicted upon their daughter. The father, in cross•examination, s aid that he did not employ an attorney to conduct the prose cution, but a policeman had recommended him to ' the gentleman who was conducting this action, and all the mon e y h e h a d g i ren him was £4, which he paid him that morning. This._ witness also said that after the grand jury had thrown out the bill, and these articles appeared in the Daily Telegraph, the boys used to " chaff" and jeer him in reference to his daughter's case. Mr. Edwin James then addressed the jury for the defendant. Mr. Justice Erle, in summing up, said that the law undoubtedly was that a fair and correct report of proceedings in a court of justice, if published bona fide and without malice, could not be made the subject of an action for libel, but with regard to the publication of comments upon those proceed ings afterwards, that was another matter, upon which he should not at present give any opinion. With reference to this particular case, however, he should state that it appeared to him that the de fendant was not justified in making the comments he had done in the articles that appeared after the proceedings before the magistrates, and if the jury should think that they were of a libellous character, the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict, with such rea sonable damages as they should think he was en titled to under all the circumstances. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £5O. Mr. James tendered a bill of exceptions to his lordship's ruling id point of law, upon the .f ground that he should ha ve left it to the jury,that they and were founded u p on t h e facts believed the stat ements were made bona fide and w ithout malice, the defendan t was entitled to a verd ict ; and upon ' the application of the learned counsel, execution w as stayed, until the question raised by the bill of exceptions has been more fully argued. COMING E VENTS. The debate last night iu the House if Commons is, if we mistake not, a point of departure for new c3mbinations in Europe. Lord John Russell has almost in terms announced that the witent e cordials which has so long intermittently existed between England and Franco is again —we hope we natty say only for the moment—broken. He, the Mini ster directing the foreign relations of England, has from his place in Parliament deliberately declared that he no longer feels confidence in the modera tion or peaceful intentions of the Emperor of the French. He has expressed his conviction that, after this consummated act of the annexation of Savoy, " The Emperor will be called upon from time to time to commit other acts of aggression," and he suggests that the Emperor will accede to the call. He proclaims to the world that this act must estrange England from the side of France, and must induce her to seek safety in the society of the other nations of Europe. " I do feel," said Lord John Russell, that, however we may wish to liTe on the most friendly terms with the French Govern ment—and certainly I do wish to live on the most friendly terms with that Government—we ought not to keep ourselves apart from the other nations of Europe, but that, when future questions may arise—as future questions may arise—we should be ready to act with others and to declare, always in the most moderate and friendly terms, but still firmly, that the settlement of Europe, the peace of Europe is a matter dear to this country, and that that settlement and that peace cannot be assured if it is liable to perpetual interruption, to constant fears, to doubts and rumours with respect to the annexation of this one country, or the union and connexion of that other." This is a very important declaration. Both the Emperor of the French and the Minister of England have now kept their words to each other. The former shadowed forth his in tention of pushing forward the present frontier of France in a certain contingency ; the latter warned him that whenever he should carry out that inten tion he would forfeit the confidence of his ally. It is done, and Lord J. Russell tells his ally frankly that, although he continues him as an acquaintance, he shall go elsewhere to seek his friends. The allusion to Prussia is scarcely equivocal, and we have not now to inquire where the present Go vernment proposes to make its closest alliance ; while the confession that Russia has declared that " the King of Sardinia was free to give away his province, and the Emperor of the French was tree to receive it," leaves it clear that there is no inten- tion or hope of forming a hostile European Con federation, such as the Tory party recently coun selled. Thus ends, as we very much fear, that strong hope of mutual confidence and good will based on commercial intercourse which we were all only yesterday taught to anticipate with such eager credulity. When these words are—as they are at this moment—telegraphed to Paris, and when it is known with what loud cheers the House of Com mons rang as they were delivered, and with what welcome they were received by all except by one speaker, we cannot but expect that such seal as has hitherto been shown to remove difficulties will be somewhat cooled, and that the strictest interpreta tions of the Commercial Treaty will be enforced. On our side, also, there is a possibility that the Treaty may hereafter be read with a different gloss. It will now be more clearly seen that we have yielded everything upon the spot, in the expectation that something that. has never been promised might be generously given to us. The Emperor of the French may be magnanimous, and may yet fulfil the hopes of those among us who stooped to think with such motives. But it is not now likely. It is an unhappy time to declare ourselves slighted and betrayed. The Emperor has gained all his objects. lie kas crippled Austria, neutralised Russia, and conciliated Italy. We arise from our dream of confidence, and tell him that we have been deceived and that we in tend to trust him no more. The time is past when such a reproach or such a declaration would have had weight. These bold words will not make Na poleon HT. relax his grasp upon Savoy, or delay him in the choice of the site for his palace at Nice. They only tell him authoritatively—what we told him long ago—that by this act we are offended but not outraged, estranged but not provoked to enmity. The instincts of the people of this country are truer than those of her rulers. They have never trusted. the Emperor, though they have not thought it neces sary to be constantly telling him so.-7Vtlied. THE EARLDOM OF WILTES. Among the new peerage claims which will come before the Committee of Privileges in the House of Lords during the present session is one which, if admitted to be " made out" to their lordships' satis faction, will so far create a revolution in the British peerage as to dispossess the Earl of Shrewsbury of the honours of the premier earldom of England, 1,;,11 he liva au i euctitly ac q uired by the decision of the law. The claimant of the earldom of Wiltes, or Wiltshire, is Mr. Simon Thomas Scrope, of Danby-on-Yore, Yorkshire, who in the year 1858 presented a petition to the Queen, " praying her Majesty to be pleased to cause a writ of summons to Parliament to be issued to him by the title and dignity aforesaid." Her Majesty was pleased to refer the said petition, together with the Attorney- General's report thereon, to the House of Peers on the 7th of June, 1859, who on the same day referred it to the Committee of Privileges to consider and report upon it." The printed statement of the pe titioner recites, first, how the earldom of Wilt*a was created by letters patent in 1397, in the 21st year of Richard 11., in the person of Sir William Scrope, Knight, eldest„ son of Sir Richard Scrope, first Lord Scrope of BOlton, " to him and to his heirs male for ever ;" and urges that, though the said earl dom has never been assumed since the death of the first earl, sine prole, in 1399, yet that, as it was granted with remainder, not to the heirs male of his body, but' to him and his heirs male for ever," such remainder includes the issue of the earl's next brother, who succeeded his father as Lord Scrope of Bolton, and transmitted that barony to his descendants. The direct line of the seventh Lord Scrope ended in 1630, on the death of the 11th lord (who was created Earl of Sunderland) without issue male, when the right to the family honours descended to the heirs male of Mr. John Scrope, of Hameldon, Bucks, and Spennithorne, Yorkshire (the sixth lord's second son), namely, Francis Scrope, of Spennithorne, and of D anby-on- Yore, Yorkshire, who, dying without issue, trans mitted his claim to the heirs male of his brother Chrirtopher Scrope, from whom the present claimant is directly descended i n th e fifth genera tion. - Besides the question above incidentally alluded to, the petitioner in his " case" raises the question whether the execution of the Earl of Wiltes by the Duke of Lancaster, afterwards Henry IV., at Bristol, operates as an act of attainder, and strongly urges on his own behalf that the judgment under which that unfortunate nobleman was exe cuted contains no express forfeiture of his dignity as a peer of the realm, and that the law is, that in order to forfeit a peerage in tail, there must be either a formal conviction for high treason, or an act of attainder and deprivation striking at the dignity by name. "In this case," says Mr. Scrope, " the execution of the earl by the Duke of Lancas ter could not have the legal force of a direct attain der, while the entry on the roll makes no mention of his dignity as an earl, and therefore could not deprive his r epresentatives of it. In support of this cu rious, and interesting claim, Mr. Scrope re cites in his " case" an abundant store of learned extracts from the rolls of Parliament, writs of sum mons, the herald's visitations in Yorkshire, the entries in the parish registers in Thornton- Steward and Spcnnithorne, family wills and mar riage settlements, bills in Chancery, pedigrees, leases, releases, deed polls, charters, and sepulchral monuments, extending down to the present time, from the date when, according to no less an autho rity than Shakspere— " The Earl of Wiltshire held this realm in farm." The family of Mr. Scrope have been uninter rupted in their adherence to the Roman Catholic religion, and, curiously enough, the records of the fines levied on his ancestors as " Popish recusants" are pressed by the claim ant into his service 9.3 proofs of his position. They have largely inter married with the Me y nells, Constables, Stria_ la arexwelis and other noble R onntn , widely and d eserve dl y C la a n t d h s o , li C e li f ft a . m or i d li s e , s 1%, and respected in Yorkshire, as not unworthy represen tatives of a family as ancient as the reign of Ed ward the Confessor, and which, in the period of 300 years which intervened between the reigns of Edward 11. and Charles 1., produced two earls, 20 barons, one chancellor, four high treasurers, two chief justices of England, fi ve k n i g h ts of the te and numerous " bannerets"—the highest g ar t e r, and order in the day s o f chivalry—besides `twomili tar y r arch bishops and one bishop. It is worth ne.te that tes timony was borne to the knightly de scent of the Scrope family, so far back as the yew,. 1386, in the celebrated controversy between Sir i‘tichard Scrope and Sir Robert Grosvenor for the eight of bearing a coat of arms, when it was depose d and formally established, according to Sir Harry - Nicholas, that the then representative of the houss3 of Scrope was " descended from noble and gen erous blood of gentry and noble ancestry, who had always pre served their name and estate in d ignity and ho nour." The present claimant was, born in 1790, and married to a daughter of the late Mr. John. Jones, of Llanarth, by whom he has a' arviving issue a son, and also two daughters, tho elder of whom is the widow of the lat 4 Mr, Bi ,stard, of Kitley. )ay.) ood.) 20i 204 10 100 1 100 106 17i 20 S took stock Stock Stook Stock Stock 100 stook Sharel
