Tea has been inactive, *it at steady quotations, all parties in the trade:awaiting the delivery of their letters by the Overland Mail.

Rice and fruit have meta moderate inquiry at about former quotations, and saltpetre has slightly advanced. Tallow con tinues inactive, and notwithstandin g some specula tive business for foward delivery, prices have slightly receded.

THE MAYOR, &C., OF LIVERPOOL. Mr. Karslake resumed his argument in this part-heard appeal for the appellants. The contention arises on some intricate and complicated disputed accounts for work done for the corporation. The arguments will occupy the entire day. APPEALS-WELLESLEY V. MORNINGTON-MORNINGTON V. WELLESLEY. These causes were compromised yesterday. (Before the Lords Justices.) APPEALS-RAWLINS V. WICIEHAN-WICKILANI V. BAILEY. Mr. Malin, Q.C., resumed this morning his arguments for the respondents in these part-hard appeals. The argu ments will continue the entire day. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.) JUDGMENT.-IN RE POWELL'S TRUST. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, in delivering judg ment, said—This is a short matter, which relates to the estate of the late Mary Powell, the testatrix. The sum of £676 16s. 7d. has been paid into court as the amount of the residue of the testatrix's estate, and the question raised is on a bequest of a sum of money bequeathed to the legatee—whether it is payable out of the funds in court, or the funds in hand of the tes tatrix at the time of her death. A sum of £5OO was secured by note of hand, and £lOO was also secured by a note of hand in the savings bank. By her will she gave £95 16s. sd. and £l9 13s. to her relative, Mary Powell, payable out of the ready cash in her house at the date of her death. The testatrix, by her will, declared—" After my funeral ant testamentary expenses are paid, I leave and bequeath to Mary Powell, at North Wood, these sums out of all my ready money. The bequest is confined to "ready money," and the question is, what is ready money? His Honour, on the authority of decided cases, considered that the money in the savings bank, of whichshe had given notice of demand before her death, was ready money, and the sum of £l9 16s. of money in the savings bank and £95 16s. sd. on the promissory notes in the bank passed to the legatee as ready money, and that the sum of £175 must be paid out of the funds in court to her. The general estate shall bear the costs of all parties. Decreed accordingly. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (This Day.) OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES. Henry Belcher, 33, pleaded guilty to three indictments charging him with larceny and obtaining money by false pretences. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecution, informed the Court that the prisoner had been in the service of Messrs. Ridgway and Co., notaries, as conveyancing clerk, and in that capacity he was intrusted with money to pay fees at Somerset-house, and he appropriated that money to his own use. He had also applied to various clients of the prosecutors for accounts that were due to them, and he kept the money so obtained. A mortgage deed belonging to Messrs. Ridgway was also missing, and it was believed that the prisoner knew something of it, and it was hoped he would give such information as would lead to its restitu- UTTERING FORDED RILLS. James Bayles, 28, crape-maker, was indicted for felo niously uttering two forged bills of exchange for £2O and £4O, with intent to defraud. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Robin son for the defence. The learned counsel having stated the case to the jury, called Mr. W. Cribb, of St. Swithin's-lane, said I have known the prisoner the last four years. Early in September ho brought me a bill for £2O and another for £4O to discount. The £4O bill was brought first. He asked me to discount the bill, and he produced two policies of assurance, which he said were worth £72. The bills produced are the docu ments he brought to me. The signature of the £2O bill is in the prisoner's handwriting. The £4O bill I also be lieve to be written by him. The £2O bill purported to be drawn by the prisoner and accepted by J. B. Marshall, of Anderson-street, Chelsea. The bills were discounted, and the prisoner received the money less the commission. The bills were not paid when they.arrived at maturity. Mr. Marshall, when he was applied to, said the acceptances were not in his handwriting. The Recorder said that, in his opinion, the charge of for gery could not be supported, as there was an absence of any evidence to show an intention to defraud, the policy of assu rance being admitted to be worth more than the sum ad vanced on the two bills. Mr. Robinson said there was really no pretence for the charge of forgery, and that the unfortunate prisoner had been the dupe of a Mr. Marshall, the cousin of Mr. J. B Marshall, and from whom he received the bills in question, and to whom he afterwards handed the money, he never having the least idea that there was anything wrong about the bills, as he fully believed the signature to be that of Mr. J. B. Marshall. The jury then returned a verdict of not guilty. The prisoner applied to have the bills impounded, as he intended to take proceedings against George Marshall as soon as be could find him. The Recorder said he saw no objection to the bills being taken care of by the officer of the court. The prisoner was then ordered to be discharged. NEW COURT (Before the Common Sergeant.) The hearing of Mint prosecutions, which were all of the most ordinary description, occupied the Court the whole of the day. POLICE I NTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY.) MA RLBOROUGH-STREET. A DRUNKARD'S MORAL FEELING.—Peter M'Kinlay, a tall man, and who spoke in a stentorian tone of voice, was charged with assaulting Murrell, 80 C, and creating a disturbance. Murrell said that about four that morning he heard the prisoner creating a great disturbance, and on requesting him to move on he commenced abusing him in the most violent manner, making use of the most disgusting lan guage. He became so violent that he was obliged to get the assistance of another constable, when the prisoner kicked him in the ankle and hurt his back very much. The prisoner, at the top of his voice, said a more infa mous statement was never made by a man having any claim to moral feeling than that by the constable. He saw the constable, with another, in solemn conclave, when they ordered him to go along, and, wishing to get away from them, he set to running, upon which he received a kick from behind, and when he got to the door of his own house the constable seized him and said "You don't lodge here." Mr. Beadon—Was you sober ? Prisoner—Oh, yes. I could find my way home. Mr. Beadon—You have fallen into the hands of one of the steadiest of constables, and I believe what he has said. Fined 10s., or seven days. Prisoner, as he was leaving the dock, said " Well, that's a very heavy sentence, I think.,, THIS DAI'S SHIPPING.

Other arrests, it is said, will be effected in the course of a few days. A branch of the society is believed to be in existence at Clonakilty, and the authorities are procuring information relative to the members with a view of placing them under the surveillance of the police. The Rev. Dr. Cahill, of Ultramontano notoriety, occasionally dismounts the high horse he has almost ridden to death, and condescends to write plain sense. In one of his latest contribu tions to the Weekly Telegraph, the rev. gentleman addresses, these words of warning to his " fellow countrymen" : " As the Government of this country are gene rally well informed on the organisation, the plans, and the very names of the leaders of secret socie ties in Ireland, it cannot be doubted that the pro clamation issued in the end of last week by the Lord Lieutenant has been called forth by the strin gent necessity of the case. From a very long expe rience, indeed, I have never known a similar pro clamation founded on false information. The vice regal authorities may occasionally make a mistake in the extent of the confederacy, or in individuals ; but beyond dispute their knowledge of its origina tors, members, abettors, and silent friends, i s mos t accurate. You may rely on this statement with implicit confidence ; and be perfectly satisfied and convinced that the Chief Secretary at the Castle can produce, at the moment I write these words, the names of every individual who has administered an unlawful oath, as well as the names, the resi dence, the parents, the character of every wretched dupe who has defiled God's Gospel as he puts his trembling hand to this blasphemous `pledge. The The moment when the unfortunate new member pronounces :the words of the confederate oath, in that moment he places his life at the mercy of a traitorous companion or a perjured spy, he ties the hangman's rope on his own neck, he pronounces his own sentence of death, and prepares him self, ill-fated wretch! to die on an ignominious scaffold. If you wish to learn whence have the Government derived their knowledge, and whence have I assumed the tone of confidence with which I speak, I reply,—The Government have their in formation from your own associates ; from the very man who administered the oath ; from the villain who perjured you into blasphemy, who received a bribe for your death, and who makes a traffic on your flesh and blood. The Government has this accurate information within 24 hours of your san guinary oath, and I have this knowledge graven on my heart from my intimate acquaintance with the unfortunate history of the atrocious system of secret societies."

It appears that a preliminary meeting of landed proprietors was held in Dublin on Saturday last, to make arrangements for a general meeting of the landed gentry of Ireland of all parties, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the defects of the law for the protection of life and property, and the amendments which should be sought for in the next session of Parliament. The meeting will be held in Dublin about the middle of January next. IRISH BANKS. At the Court of Proprietors of the Bank of Ire. land held on Saturday, a dividend of 41 per cent. for the half-year was struck, making, with the Mid summer dividend, 94- per cent. for the year. After making the dividend, a sum of £BOO remained to be added to the rest, which now amounts to £1,067,000. The dividend at this time last year was 6 per cent. ; but those were times of 10 per cent., and not of 3. We have already expressed our opinion as to the justice and wisdom of dividing each half-year's pm fits as they arise, and are glad to see it continued. Following the course of the Bank of England, the Bank of Ireland have made a reduction of 4- per cent. in their charges. Tho rates are now as fol lows:—For the discount of English or Irish bills not havingmore than 95 days to run, 3 per cent. per annum : Scotch bills the same discount, with a charge of 2s. 6d. per cent. in addition ; English and Scotch bills, having less than 15 days to run, are taken at a uniform charge of 2s. 6d. per cent., in lieu of discount. Applications for loans, with the collateral security of Government or Bank Stock, will be received at 21 per cent. The statement of accounts presented to the proprietors of the Hiber nian Bank at the annual meeting, although they dis closed a steady and not unprosperous state of affairs exhibit less of improvement in proportion to that witnessed elsewhere than might, perhaps, fairly be expected from an institution of its acknowledged respectability and standing, and an opinion is freely expressed that a little more of mercantile spirit and energy could, with advantage, be infused into its present management. The " rest," or sur plus profit, during the last few years has varied but very little. In the year 1848 the sum under this head was £81,952 ; in the accounts now before us it is £79,550. During the period which has elapsed since the former year the dividend has varied from sto 8 per cent. From 1848 to 1850 it was 5 per cent., in 1856 it was 8 per cent., and for the re mainder of the time 6. Accounts from Kerry, received to-day, announce the arrests of 13 persons, charged with being mem bers of an illegal society. Nine of the prisoners were taken in the town of Kenmare, and four in Killarney. They are all intelligent andrespectable young men. The following particulars are from the Cork papers of this day. The Examiner thus reports : " KILLARNEY, Sunday.—Last evening, at half paSt 5 o'clock, Mr. Laurence O'Sullivan, assistant to Mr. Richard Linnegan, apothecary, was arrested on a warrant charging him with being a member of a secret society called the Phoenix Club. The arrest was made by Sub-inspector Co lomb, unaccompanied by a single police man, and without the least noise or excitement. At a subsequent period of the night the following arrests were made :—Patrick Cronin, assistant to Mr. John Martin, grocer; Daniel Murphy, assist ant to Mrs. C. Coghlan, grocer ; and Jos. Murphy, assistant to Mr. Wm. 'Lewis. It is said several other arrests will be made this evening, in number about 12, making 16 in all. The prisoners are all about 20 years old." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL' S-MONDAY. There was an improved attendance, and some disposition was evinced to resume business in earnest. 4tol, to a small sum, was taken, and afterwards offered, about the Promised Land, for the Two Thousand, and Ralph° was backed at 6to Ito £l,OOO. For the Derby 11 to Ito £5O was booked about The Promised Land, and 25 to 1 to £175 was laid against Cavendish, the layer offering to go on to the extent of another " pony." Last week those odds were "wanted" about Cavendish, and a shorter price was taken about him in the City. The odds about Merryman were booked to a "pony," and 30 "fifties" were taken about Rainbow.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. {Before the Judge-Ordinary and a Special Jury.) KEATS V. KEATS AND MONTEZUMA. THE VERDICT. A few minutnepefore four the jury entered the court, and on being asked Whether they had agreed to their verdict, The Foreman said they had not. One gentleman refused to accept the learned judge's definition of the word "condoned." We have therefore come to ask whether the verdict of the eleven gentlemen who are agreed can be taken. The learned Judge said, Certainly not. The verdict must be the unanimous opinion of the whole of the jury.- With respect to a juror who objects, it is right he should know that he is bound to take the law from the judge on the bench. I may be wrong, but then he must not set himself up as a court of error. A Juror—Can't the opinion of the 11 be taken ? __ _ The Judge—No ; I have already said so. The Juror—Then, I don't know what can be done. It is mainly through him that the eleven other gen tlemen have been detained all these hours. Perhaps your lordship can alter the opinion of the juror—all of us have failed. The Judge—l do not swish to have the dissentient singled out ; but I must again say that the gentleman evidently wishes to set himself up as a court of error, which it is wrong in him to do. Will a special verdict be acceptable? the effect of which will be that the case can be argued before the full court, which decision can be taken to the House of Lords as the highest court of error. The jury, I suppose, have no difficulty in that. As adultery was committed, the next matter would be to find that he did not condone it with the intention of restoring Mrs. Keats. The counsel did not seem disposed to accept a special ver• diet. The Judge—Well, we must have a unanimous verdict, but I have again to say that the gentleman who refuses to accept my definiton of the word condone is doing that which he has no right to do. It seems as if he thought the judges did not understand the law of the land. The jury again retired, and at 25 minutes past 4 came again into court. The learned Judge—Well, gentlemen, have you agreed to your verdict ? Foreman—We have, my lord. The Judge—Do you find that adultery was committed with Montezuma ? Foreman—We do, my lord. The Judge—What damages do you assess against Montezuma ? Foreman—One thousand pounds. __ _ _ The Judge—Do you find that Mr. Keats condoned the offence ? Foreman—No. LON.DON GAZETTE-( THIS EVENING) WHITEHALL, DEC. 13.

ARTIFICIAL PRODUCTION OF BONE, This is the subject of perhaps the most curious paper presented to the academy for many months past. The reparatory action of the periosteum (or membrane directly investing the bones) in repro ducing the osseous substance when partially lost or destroyed either by accident or disease, is a well known fact, and various surgical operations are founded upon it ; but Dr. 011ier's experiments presented to the aeademy at its last sitting throw quite a new light on the subject. These experi ments, performed upon rabbits, are divided into three series :-1. Long slips of perios teum were detached from the tibia throughout their length, one of their extremities only being left adherent to the bone. These slips were then rolled around the muscles of the leg in vario us ways, and in the course of time bone was produced in various shapes, as, for example, a spiral, an 8, &c. ! 2. In the second series of experiments, the slips of periosteum were entirely detached from the bone three or four days after the operation, and notwithstanding this separation from its. pri mitive source of life, the periosteum still continued to produce bone. 3. In the third series, the pe riosteum was entirely detached from the bone at the outset, and immediately transplanted to some other region, under, the skin of the shoulder or of the back, for example ; still the periosteum pro duced bone. An advanced age, it appears, diminishes this property of the periosteum, but does not com pletely destroy it. The osseous tissue thus ob tained is real bone, similar to that of the rest of the body. After a certain time a cavity is formed within containing marrow, which derives nourish ment for three or four issues. In short, these curi ous experiments show that bane may be obtained wherever the periosteum can be introduced; and that a membrane may preserve its properties not withstanding its removal and transplantation. The cure and treatment of fractures may be consider ably improved by these unexpected facts. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS. MITHFIELD.—Meadow hay, £3 5s to £4 8s Od ; clover, do., £3 15s to £5 Os; and straw, £1 ss. to 10s. per load. Trade dull. CUMBERLAND.—Meadow hay, £3 5s to £4 8s; clover do., £3 15s to £5 Os. ; and straw, £1 5s to £1 108 per lead. A fair average supply, and a heavy demand. WHITECHAPEL.-3 , leadow hay, £3 5s to £4 5s Od ; clover, io., £3 15s to £5 Os, ; and straw, £1 6s to £1 12s per load. A slow inquiry for both hay and straw, at late rates. COLONIAL. TEA.—The market is very quiet, both merchants and dealers awaiting the arrival of the letters by the overland mail, which is expected to-morrow (Wednesday). Com mon Congou is quoted at Ild. per lb. SUGAR.—A very limited business has been transacted, at about previous quotations. In the refined market the dealings have been confined to our immediate requirements, at about former values. COFFEE.—There is little inquiry by private contract, and prices are flat. A small quantity is advertised for public sale, but prices are not e3yected to exhibit much alteration. RICE.--Tho market is still without activity, and prices generally show a downward tendency. FRUIT.—The dealings have been unimportant, but holders of both currants and Valencia raisins of superior quality demand full rates. SALTPETRE.--A steady business has been, done, at about. former quotations, and B r iti s h re fi ne d i s a shade firmer. TALLOW.—The market continues quiet. P.Y.C., on the spot, and all the year, 50s 9d to 51s ; January to March, 50s 3d ; April to June, 50s per cwt.. Thum) FRUlTS.—Messrs. Houghton and Levy, of Liverpool, state :—Currants—One cargo of about 120 tons Patras fruit has arrived since our report of the 4th inst. The deliveries show a falling off in comparison to former weeks, being only 150 tons. There has been a moderate demand during the week, principally for fine fruit, which fully maintains its value, but medium descriptions have been sold at easier rates. Our market, however, being dearer than London, several parcels have been bought there. Forced sales of old fruit continue to be made at auction, and on Thursday about 100 tons were sold at 22s to 25s ; for good 1856 fruit 43s was bid. Raisins—Only one cargo of Valencias has arrived during the week. Sound keeping fruit, which is scarce, maintains its value, but tender parcels are being sold at irregular rates. There has been a fair demand for old fruit, and ordinary quality sold at 18s to 20s. Muscatelles—There is a fair quantity of common layers offering, at 53s to 565; medium have been sold at 64s to 80s, and fine as high as 115 s. Bunch in limited demand at 43s to 445. Sultanas go off readily at 57s to 60s, and market bare. The duty paid clearances reach 126 tons. Almonds—The sales of Jordan have been of an average extent, at former rates ; anything good commands £8 108 to £9. Prunes in steady demand at 28s, and stock very light. For plums in bottles, 90s was refused at auction. Figs—Turkey continuo scarce, and parcels offered at public sale have com manded high rates. Boxes, 60s to 655; drums 55s to 58s. Malaga have come in more freely; a fair quantity has been sold at 26s to 30s for taps, and 32s to 33s for boxes. Nuts —Barcelona continue very quiet without any alteration in value. Brazils have been sold at 14s 6d ex quay. Chesnuts are held firmly at 16s. for Bilboa. Green Fruit—The first cargo of St. Michael's was offered and sold yesterday, and realised 34s 6d to 37s 6d ; Lisbon, 22s ' • Valencias, 255. For Monday there is a large s u pply, but the market having been so long bare, present rates will no doubt be maintained. Lemons in good demand, at 13s 6d to 14s for Messina cases. Grapes—the arrivals of Al meira are large; good quality, however, commands high prices, and at sale on Monday as high as 46s per barrel was obtained. Apples—the market was fairly supplied with American, and good quality sells readily at 35s per brl. • THE COAL SUPPLY OF LONDON.—It appears that the importations of coal, culm, and cinders into the port of London in the past month were :—From Newcastle, 105,529 tons ; Seaham, 13,070 tons ; Sunderland, 61,127 tons ; Middlesborough, 5,875 tons ; Blyth, 3,290 tons ; the Hartlepools, 64,790 tons ; Scotland, 1,553 t ons ; Wales, 13,729 tons ; Yorkshire, 1,178 tons ; small, 639 tons ; cin ders, 308 tons—making a total of 271,088 tons, brought in 845 ships. In the corresponding Month of 1857 the impor tations were 333,166 tons. The deliveries by railway last month were :—By the Great Northern, 54,772 tons ; Eastern Counties, 10,695 tons ; London and North- Western, 66,168 tons ; South-Eastern, 1,485 ; Great Western, 3,810 tons ; Midland (via Great Northern), 2,010 tons making a total of 128,940 tons. In the corresponding month of the year 1857 the rail , way deliveries wore 105,088 tons. The deliveries by canals were 1,474 tons last month, and 2,214 tons in Nov., 1857. The importations by sea have amounted to 2,916,535 tons, brought in 9,514 ships, from the Ist Jan. to the 30th Nov., 1858, against 2,792,691 tons, brought in 9,364 ships in the corresponding period of 1857. The deliveries -by railway from the Ist Jan. to the 30th Nov., 1858, amounted to 1,078,098 tons, against 1, 106 ,7 52 tons in the corresponding period of 1857. The canal deliveries from the Ist Jan. to the 30th Nov., 1858, were 18,764 tons, against 23,633 tons in the corresponding period of 1857. It thus appears that the importations by sea have increased, while the deliveries by railways and canals have decreased, as compared with last year. The total receipts from all sources have been 4,013,397 tons in 18,58, against 3,923,076 tons in 1857, leav ing an increase of 90,321 tons. It is only an act of justice to the Electric and. International Telegraph Company to mention the celerity and. accuracy with which our report of the proceedings at Man chester on Friday night was transmitted to th e Times office. The first portion of the report was received at the telegraph office at Manchester at 10.55 on Friday night, and the last at 1.25 on Saturday morning. It may be added that the whole report, occupying nearly six columns, was in type at a quarter to three o'clock on Saturday morning, every word having bean transmitt e d th roug h the wire a distance of nearly 200 miles. Some of our readers may be surprised to hear that this report was transmitted entirely by young girls. An average speed of 29 words per minute was ob tained, principally on the printing instruments. The highest speed on the needles was 39 words per minute. Four printing instruments and one needle were engaged, with one receiving clerk each, and two writers taking alter nate sheets. Although young girls in general do not under stand much of politics, there was hardly an CITOr in tho whole report. Altogether, the transmission was very satis factory, a result due in great measure. to the energy and su pervision of Mr. C. V. Boys, the superintendent of the intelligence department.—Times. The Journal de _Rouen says :—" The wife of a tradesman in this town has just been declared by the high law authorities entitled to a fortune of 6,ooo,ooofr.She is now 60 years of age, and although the estate was left hd with outbeen had any claim.

Two sergeants of a regiment of dragoons in gar rison at Dijon fought on Saturday morning a duel with swords ; after a few passes, one of them named Galbois, re ceived the point of his adversary's sword in the breast ; he fell into the arms of one of his seconds, exclaiming, " It is nothing " but he died on reaching the hospital, to which he was at once carried. The duel took place with the per mission of the officer • commanding the squadron to which the men belonged ; but the cause ef it is not stated. The deceased was the son of a general, and 27 years of age. AND
