Not the slightest diminution can be reported in the demand for money, which, in fact, is becoming more active, owing to the quarterly disbursements, and the approaching monthly liquidation of com mercial accounts. Bankers and brokers, whose available supplies have become very much reduced, are consequently asking enhanced terms, and only short-dated first-class bills can now be negotiated in the general market at 4 per cent. ; a considerable amount of business, therefore, is taken to the Bank of England. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited a further slight advance in the rates on Amsterdam and Hamburg. • The half-yearly interest on Turkish 6 per Cent. Bo - ads (of 1854) has been advertised for payment. Accounts from Liverpool report that the cotton market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were well supported. The sales were only 3,500 bales. the railway share market a slight reaction took Ft lace, and business was not quite so active, The directors of the Grand Trunk Railway of C anada have issued their report, in which they dt ‘scribe the progress of the undertaking and its At tancial position. The sum of £1,500,000 is re q t tired without delay to pay off existing liabilities, a lid to provide increased rolling stock, &c. An if ;sue of Bonds for periods not exceeding seven years, and upon rates of interest as may be here litter agreed to, is therefore proposed. .At the meeting of the Atlantic Telegraph Com pany to-day, resolutions were adopted authorising tht! issue of £25,000 6 per cent. debentures, for the pu:rpose of restoring to working order, if possible, the existing cable. The directors subscribed in the room £4,000 of the required amount. The report presented to and adopted by the pro p rietors of the Ottoman Railway Company at their in eeting to-day, states that during the half-year to the 31st December last, the total receipts from calls amount to £89,523, making, together with the pri ivious payments, £352,723, whilst the arrears fro m the commencement to this time amount to £7 2,206. Since the 31st December £3,268 has bee .n received, of which £1,948 is on account of cal Is in arrear. In order to enable the company to lII.s ►secute the works, the directors have determined to request the sanction of the general meeting to au' issue of Debentures for a sum not exceeding X ?.50,000, on such terms as may be deemed advis al de. These Debentures will not be in excess of th .e capital of the company, but in substitution of th it amount of shares, and will be a first charge on the, undertaking. 1 ['here has been very little animation in the 11 rket for Public Securities to-day, and the Funds ha' ,-e not undergone any change of importance, Co nsols being 94 for money, and 94Z Q for the ac4;ount. Speculation continues very dull, and the vestments made by the public are limited. India New Loan is steady, at 104 a ; ditto 5 per Cent. Rnihced Paper has receded to 981 ; ditto Deben tures remain at 971; Exchequer Bills are 15s. to las. prem. Only a very limited business has been trans acted in the Foreign Stock Market, and prices show increased depression. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 781 to 79 ; ditto New, 611 to 62 ; Brazilian 41 per Cents. have receded to 901 ; Peruvian 4 . 1. per Cents. remain at 92 ; Mexican at 211; Spanish are firm at 451 ; the New Brazilian Loan is dis. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 3 to %, prem. ; the Universal ditto, I prem. ; and the Buenos Ayres Railway shares have advanced to 2134 prem. Increased heaviness has prevailed in the Railway Share Market to-day, most of the principal lines having been dealt in at a decline of to 1 per cent. on previous rates. Caledonian, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North 'Western, and North British, have declined 10s., and Great Northern, Great Western, and South Eastern, £l. South Westerns improved 108., and Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton, 1. _ _ _ The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have also been a shade flatter.

The Earl and Countess of Craven and the Ladies Craven have left town for Ashdown Park, Berks. BOUNTIES TO SEAMEN ENTERING THE ROYAL NATY.—Lastnight's Gaults contains an Order in Council respecting bounties given to seamen entering the navy, which states that it being judged expedient for her Maj esty's service that such bounties should, so far as they relate to able and ordinary seamen, be continued to be paid from the alst day of March instant, the time limited for payment of the said bounties of £4 for able seamen and £2 for , ordinary Se amen, will be extended to the 31st day of March, 1861, SOUTH DEVON MILITIA.--The South Devon under the immediate command of the Lieut.-Colonel Commandant, Lord Churston, will assemble at Plymouth on the 30th of April for 27 days' training and exercise. The regiment will be advanced in the musketry exercise With the new rifles, for which the men were prepared by Preliminary drills at the last training in July, 1859.. The noble commandant is always with his regiment when it is easembled either for duty or training. A plan is on foot for the establishment of paper lin g in the metropolis of breweries, Burton-on-Trent. n "Spent hops" are to be worked up and supplied to the market in the form of paper. Samples of the manufacture s a te, now on view. The paper is of a light brown, and of " 146 kind suitable for packing. Several detachments of workmen selected from t he divisions of the let corps d'armee have j net been (3rdered to join the military establishment of Ver 40A (Euro) to assist in the construction of waggons flol other accessories required by an army on I ts entrance into campaign. We are glad to learn, from inquiries made at ii?uclon-h ouse , St. James's-square, yesterday, that the i ellop of London is recovering, though slowly, from his i l. 7'ent severe indisposition. His lordship, we believe, had bJ_left his room up to Saturday, and was unable to preach ba "re the Court at Buckingham Palace yesterday, as com manded by her Majesty. 11 „`IPOTHECARIES HALL.—The following are the 4 1 2 0 5 of the gentlemen who passed their examination in the p ra( ll , je and practice of medicine, and received certificates to Ci ra. 2,,,e) on Thursday, March 22 :—Robert Arnold Hall, iti v ,l"aam ; Henry Meade, Bradfcrd, Yorkshire ; Walter d e ,, ; , gton.; Joseph Ridge Greenhill, Lewes, Sussex ; Fre `'`chc Charles Sponncer, Gain borou g h Lincolnshire.

The following bills were considered and ordered for a third reading :—Land Loan and Improvement Company, Mid Wales Railway, Stockton and Darlington Railway. The following bills were read a second time :—Commercial Docks Acts AuaendmQnt, Grand Surrey Docks and Canal. CHURCH RAMS. Sir J. TRELAWNY presented 209 petitions in favour of the total abolition of church-rates, (Cheers.) Mr. DILWYN presented 117 petitions, Mr. HADFIELD 45, and other hon. members a large number to the same effect. Some petitions to the contrary effect were also laid on the table, and the presentation of these` documents occupied a considerable portion of the early part of the day. CHURCH-RATES ABOLITION BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. PACK E made some general observations against the bill, but the hon. member spoke so indistinctly that he was quite unintelligible in the reporters' gallery. Mr. NEWDEGATE moved as an amendment to leave out from the word " that" to the end of the question, in order to add the words, "this house will to - m orrow re solve itself into a committee to consider the propriety of establishing in lieu of church rates, thenceforth to be abo lished, a charge on all hereditaments, in respect of the oc cupancy of which church rates hare been paid within the last seven years ; such charge to be levied with the county rate at an uniform rate of poundage, the occupier being in all cases entitled to deduct the amount of the charge levied on his occupation," instead thereof. Having adverted to the change that had taken place in the opinions of certain hon. members with reference to this bill, he said he would accept as an opinion in favour of the bill the decision to which the house had arrived on former stages. He would reat, therefore, ask the house to consider the same question that had been debated on the second reading of , the bill. He believed that the majority of hon. members who voted for the bill had no de'sire to do away with the means of maintaining the fabric of the Church ; but he considered that the church. rates were not a charge on the person, but on the property of a parish, levied for the purpose of supporting the Church. That was the view of some of the most eminent authorities ; and although he was as desirous as say other person for ob taining peace and harmony in Wishes, yet he nd could the assent to the spoliation of the Church a poor, particularly in rural parisho9 to the ex tent of .Z 300,000, for the benefit of the po . s e - sessors of real property. "'tying refnrreg I ntn opinions of the late Sir R. Peel and Archdeacon Hale in support of his opinion, he contended that the attacks the Liberation Society with respect to church rates a ere d ieece e d against the whole system of a State church, and that their abolition would do away with the parochial system throughout the country. (Hear, hear.) He proposed that the rate which he would substitute for the present impost should be col lected with the county rate, and paid to the treasurer of Queen Anne's bounty. if his amendment were agreed to, he would leave the bill founded on it to be brought forward by abler hands, and he believed in the Home of Lords it would be passed. cai,C5S seconded the amendment, for he consi detad thet if they abolished church rates they were bound to provide iifi equivalent; He denied that the opposition to church rates reselfed from Wl' general feeling of the people at large, and he wished he could t e l e - stain returns to show in how many cases the opposition to these rates was straight forward and manly, and in how many calv e it was the re sult of the instigation of the Liberation Society, The Dis senters asked theist why they did not adopt the volttntary system, which worked well with them (the Dissenters), To that he replied that the voluntary system did not answer for Dissenters, and that it was totally inapplicable to the Church of England. It should always be borne in mind that the latter wart bound to provide church accommodation for all those who might visit their churches, while the Dis senters were hound to supply seats only for their separate and distinct congregations. Having cited tha authority of several clerical and other writers, to prove both his state ments with respect to church rates, Mr. HORSMAN contended that the Church of Beg land was more interested than even the Dissenters in the settlement of this question, for he believed that the Church lost more in the animosities and heats created by the im post than it gained by any pecuniary benefit it derived. He thought, however, after what had already taken place, that a measure on this subject could only be successful in the hands of the Government, and not of these of private mem bers. Sir J. TRELAWNY having adverted to the attempts made to legislate on the subject, agreed that the proposi tion of the hon. member for North Warwick (Mr. Newde le and operate most un j us tly, gate) would be impractictil' and if it were attempted to be c:rried out, the result would be that there would be as gseat en agitation as there had been with reference to ) 31 ;e: isters' money and the annuity tax. He stood e e t wb len two great parties, but he had no communication with a: d wee en tirely independent of them in reference to this matte:7' He was anxious to have this question settled, as he was til -ed of it. (Laughter.) He had presented 209 petitions that , day, and a large number during the week, which had ocetie pied him one hour a-day to sign. He considered the best course to be adopted was to allow the bill to go to the House of Lords, where it might now stand a greater chance of being favourably received. He expressed a hope that the Legis lature would see the necessity of settling the question without further delay, and thereby terminating the strife and heartburnings produced by the collection of an impost that was regarded as obnoxious. Mr. HENLEY explained that a speech attributed to him on this subject had been delivered by Lord Henley. Lord HENLEY pointed out that the effect of the plan proposed by the hon. member would be, that the money to be substituted for church rates would be paid by the owners of property, and voted by occupiers, which was most objec tionable. He pointed out several other objections to the plan, and contended that any legislation other than the abolition of the tax would be productive of the greatest evils. The members of the Church of England were quite able to support the fabrics of the Church without having recourse to compulsory taxation, and he quoted various statistics to show the progress made during late years in the erection of places of worship by the Wesleyans, Baptists, and other Dissenting bodies under the operation of the voluntary . principle. From these considerations he felt bound to sup port the bill of the hon. member (Sir J. Trelawny). Mr. PHILIPS opposed the abolition of church-rates without some equivalent, and therefore he would vote for the motion of the hon. member for North Warwick, although he did not consider his proposition free from objection. Sir M. PETO strongly opposed the amendment of the hon. member for North Warwickshire, and he assured the house that Dissenters would be content with nothing but the abolition of the church -rate. With regard to the in tentions of Dissenters, ho could also assure the house that the majority of that great body had no desire to take from the Church of England one were farthingfit.mly to justly entitled • but the yresolved to resist the continuance of impo s t, H e conscient i ous l y b e li eve d which she was that the Church of England would prosper far more vigorously than she did at present, if that impost were abo lished, and sh e d e p en d e d for the ma' intenance and extension of her fabrics on the voluntary principle. In support of that position he ref erre d to the operation of the voluntary principle. He stated that the number of sittings in the churches and chapels of the United Kingdom in 1801, was under 5,000,000, while i n 185 1 it amonnted to 10,000,000; and the actual number of sittings not dependent upon the voluntary principle was under 200,000. It was a fact that, within a short space of time, £2OOOOO had been collected in Calcutta for the repair of Brahmin churches; and ho asked, were the people of the Church of England less zea lous than Hindoos in regard to the maintenance of their places of worship. He also referred to the state of Canada in regard to the Church of England, and stated that the Speaker of the Legislative Council of Canada, who was at present in England, had told him that since the abolition of the clergy reserve tax, the revenue of the Church in that county had nearly doubled. (Hear, hear.) Mr. P. WATLINGTON opposed the bill. Mr. EVANS considered that the time had arrived when the question should be finally settled and as he considered the bill would have that effect, he would give it his sup port. Lord J. MANNERS said that the great obstacle which existed to the settlement of this question was the bill intro duced by the hon. baronet the member for Tavistock (Sir J. Trelawny). However, though he retained all his ob jections to that bill, he thought it would be better to allow it to go to the House of Lords, in the hope that a compro mise might be effected, and therefore he would oppose the amendment, to which he strongly objected on other grounds. Sir G. GREY said he would defer until they went into committee any explanation relative to the clauses which he proposed to move, and which were on the paper. Mr. MELLOR considered the amendment of the hon. member for North Warwick was opposed to the good sense and feeling of the country. He also objected to the propo sition of the House of Lords, which was to the effect that church rates should be a fixed charge, and that it should be double on those who were willing to pay it, in order to com pensate for those who had conscientious scruples to the im post. He believed if they did away with those rates, they would find it would prove beneficial to the Church, for his own experience convinced him that people valued what they paid for, and did not much regard what they received in an eleemosynary form. Mr. A. MILLS strongly objected to the bill. Mr. WALTERS considered that there were only two ways of dealing with this question, the first by doing away with the effect of the decision in the Braintree case, or abolishing church rates. He thought there could be no compromise, and of all propositions for that purpose the most hopeless was the amendment of the hon. member for Warwick. As a member of the Church of England he had no apprehension of the decay of the fabric of the Church if they depended on the voluntary principle, and therefore he considered it would bo impolitic to retain in the face of so much hostility such a contemptible impost as the chut ch rates. Admiral WALCOT strongly objected to the bill. Mr. NEWDEGATE rose to reply; but The SPEAKER informed the hon. member that he was not entitled to do so on an amendment. The house then divided, and the numbers wore— For going into committee ............ 222 Against ............................ 49 Majority ...................... —173 This announcement was received with cheers. The house then went into committee on the bill. Sir M. PETO, in the absence of Mr. T. Duncombe, moved, at the end of clause 1, to add - -Nor shall any ex penses, payable out of the proceeds of a church rate, be henceforth defrayed out of any sum or sums accruing rom any other rate whatsoever, any law or custom to the con trary notwithstanding. Mr. NEWDEGATE lamented the change that had taken place in the policy of the members of the front benches on this side of the house, who not only voted for the abolition of a church-rate, but against any equivalent being substituted for that impost. lie Opposed the amend ment. Mr. MOWBRAY, as one of the members alluded to, defended the course he had pursued, and stated that gen tlemen quite as much interested in the Church of England as the hon. member for North Warwickshire felt placed in a verypainful position by tho , :ourso that hon. members had thought fit to pursue in reference to this subject. Mr. MALINS made a few observations to the same effect. After some further discussion the amendment was with drawn, and the clause was agreed to. The other clauses were also agreed to. Sir G. GREY moved the addition of the following clauses, and explained that the object which he proposed Would be to meet cases o badolshiP - that exit stod in different parts of the country : The incur nbent and churchwardens of any parish, where they may t, %link it necessary for defraying expenses which might have been defrayed out of ch urch rates if such rates had not been abolished, may, with the consent of the ordinary, fro' n time to time charge such of the pews or sittings in t he church of such parish as by prescrip tion, faculty, or otherwise are appurtenant to any messuage or tppropriated to the occupier thereof, or as have heretofore' been assigned to or commonly occupied by the occupiers of particular messuages without payment, with yearly or 'half-yearly rents, according to a scale to be fixed by suc h incumbent and chnrchwardens, with the consent aforesaid (and such scale may be varied from time to tame by the like authority) ; and such rents shall be pay able to the churchwardens on such yearly or half-yearly days as the incumbent or churchwardens, with such consent as aforesaid, shall think proper. Mr. S. ESTCOURT did not consider that pew rents were an efficient substitute for church rates, and he opposed the amendment. _ _ After some observations from Mr. Walter, Mr. Roebuck, Sir G. Grey , Mr. Walpole, Sir J. Trelawny, and Lord J: Manners, Mr. HORS MAN denounced the clause as an expedient of a most novel', dangerous, and mischievous character. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY hoped the house would hesi tate before they refused assent to the principle of the clause. He considered that Dissenters should be exempted from church rates, but hot believed it was necessary that there should be some provi:sion for churches in the country. After some discussion, the clause was negatived without a division. The preamble was tlisen agreed to, and the bill wens hrough committee. The house then resumed. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS BILL. This bill was postponed. SUPPLY. The house then went committee of supply, and a vote of £1,500,000 on account, for the payment of the army, was agreed to. _ _ - Several other votes on account were also taken. The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and the house re. Burned. INCOME-TAX BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Col. DUNNE hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would give Irish members an opportunity of speaking on this subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER said that the report would be brought up to-morrow, and then hon. members could address the house. If they did not allow the bill to go through committee to-day, it would delay the sitting of the House of Lords. After some discussion the house went into committee, and the bill passed through. The house adjourned at 10 minutes to 6 o'clock. NORTHAMPTON RACES—(This Day.) (Br ELECTRIC TELEGRATII.) RACING STAKES. Paleface Croquemetaine Three ran. EARL SPENCER'S PLATE.

Latest advises from the seat of war in Africa, received via Gibraltar by the Delta steamer, arrived at Southampton, state that there is nothing new to report. The arrivals from the coast represent that the greatest exertions were being made, notwith standing the bad weather, to discharge the shot, shell, provisions, forage, &c., from the numerotue transports lying off El Martin. The preparations in progress for some great blow was drawing to a close. Upwards of 600 beasts of burden, including 400 camels from Oran, had already been disem barked. The tramway from the beach to the town of Tetuan was nearly finished. It isstated that the interviews between Marshal O'Donnell and the Moorish envoys continue ; but that they do not in terrupt the military preparations, which are being carried on with the utmost activity. We (the Gibraltar Chronicle) have been favoured with the perusal of a letter addressed to a Moorish merchant in this town by one of his coreligioniste at Tangier, in which the following version is given of the action fought on the 11th inst. between the Spanish and Moorish forces : " We have at last been relieved of a little of the monotony which, owing to the inaction of the belli gerents, has for some weeks past characterised this war. 'Tired of waiting for O'Donnell's long•expected march upon this place, a Moorish force, consisting of 1,800 foot and 300 horse, attacked on the morning of Sunday last, the 11th inst., a division of the Spanish army at the latter's encampment outside the walls of Tetuan and on the Tangier-road. A sharp engagement followed, in which the Moorish cavalry are reported to have particularly distin guished themselves by charging the enemy re. peatedly and cutting him up very much. A strong detachment of Spaniards, which was brought up in the course of the afternoon from the plain of Mar tin, and moved along the heights of Gebel Berm, prevented the assailants from doing more than kil ling or wounding some 200 or 300 of the enemy, sustaining a trifling loss themselves. I have net heard what the casualties on the part of the Moor ish infantry amounted to, but I am told the cavalry lost seven men killed and about 20 wounded. The two Kaids who led the troops on fell gallantly fighting inside the Spanish camp. The confliet lasted till nightfall, when, as if by mutual accord, the contending parties separated." The Egyptian steamship Persian, from off the Tetuan River, arrived at Gibraltar on the evening of the 16th, taking the mews that preliminaries of peace, the nature of which was only known to the parties present at the meeting, had been arranged in the morning between Muley Abbas and Marshal O'Donnell. Immediately after the interview a steamer was ordered to be got ready to convey an officer of rank intrusted with despatches for the Spanish Government, and in a very short time the vessel was on her way to Alicante, whence the envoy would proceed to Madrid 'by railway. At the head-quarters of the Spanish army, in the camp and throughout the town, nothing but this affair was talked of, and every one seemed impa tient to learn the conditions on which the peace has been made, many wishing that they may be ratified and others hoping for the continuance of the war. The Persian had been engaged by the Spanish Government to convey a cargo of hay and potatoes from Marseilles to the port of Tetuan, and it was only within the last few days, owing to the prevalence of unfavourable weather, that she could unload her cargo. From Gibraltar the Persian, after coaling, was ordered to proceed to Djiddah via the Cape of Good Hope, to be en- gaged in the conveyance of passengers and goods between the ports in the Red Sea and Suez. MR. HORSMAN AND HIS CONSTI- TUENTS. STROUD, TUESDAY. A crowded and influential meeting of Liberal electors of this borough was held in the Subscrip tion Rooms in this town this morning, " to consider the course of their representative, the Right Hon. E. Horsman, in Parliament during the present session." The attendance included the leading men of all sections of Liberals. The meeting was called in consequence of the strong general feeling that Mr. Horsman has not represented the opinions of the borough in Parliament. Mr. S. S. MARLING, manufacturer, occupied the chair. He read an invitation he had given to Mr. Horsman to be present at that meeting, and Mr. Horsman's reply, declining. He remarked that there was an almost universal feeling of dissatisfac tion with the course which Mr. Horsman had pur sued upon the budget and the treaty, and as Mr. Horsman had always evinced an anxiety to know the feelings and opinions of his constituents, they had assembled openly to express them. He did not accuse Mr. Horsman of having violated any pledges, but he was elected to be a supporter of the present Liberal Government, and instead of having done so, he had sought to weaken and impair their efficiency. He hoped the business of ,the meeting would be confined to the purpose for which it was called, and that if any ulterior steps were to be taken they should not be commenced at that meet ing. Mr A. M. FLINT, manufacturer, proposed the following resolution :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the Right Hon. E. Horsman has not, by his votes or speeches in the House of Com mons in reference to the commercial treaty with France and the budget, represented the opi nions and feelings of the borough of Stroud." (Cheers.) As the proposer of Mr. Horsman at the last election, he explained that while that gentle man was up to that time a consistent Liberal, he had since thought proper to pursue a course with which his constituents could not concur. The resolution was seconded by D. RICARDO, Esq., of Gatcombe Park, and supported by Mr. SAMUEL BOWLY, who remarked that not long ago in that room Mr. Horsman had defended every in dividual act of Lord Palmerston in his foreign policy, but now that that policy had become more enlightened, Mr. Horsman opposed it in every pos sible way. Mr. W. J. STANTON defended Mr. Horsman, but expressed his general disagreement with the hon gentleman's course. Mr. A. R. FEWSTER also supported the resolu tion, which was then put, and carried with only four dissentients. Mr. M. BRIDGES, as an advanced Liberal, and. thinking the last resolution did not go far enough, proposed :—" That the Liberal electors of the borough of Stroud, in public meeting assembled, having witnessed with surprise and regret the course of parliamentary conduct recently pursued. by the Right Hon. E. Horsman, more especially during the present session, hereby declare that he has lost all claim to our future confidence and sup. port." (Loud cheers.) lie expressed the entire disapprobation felt by the advanced Liberals at Mr. Horsman's conduct, and said that as they had. come there to do something they should respect fully call upon the hon. gentleman to resign. (Loud cheers.) The resolution having been seconded, Mr. WINTERBOTHAM (magistrate) deprecated it, both because they had not heard Mr. Horsman, and because the present Parliament must necessa rily soon be dissolved. Mr. LIBRE spoke at some length in favour of the resolution. Mr. BRIDGES said that as there was littlediffhee rence of opinion, and his object had been gained, would withdraw his resolution to ensure unani. mity. The usual votes of thanks concluded the pro. ceedings. All the officers on leave of absence, except those on sick lea-re, and who belong to the regiments selected to form the camps of Chalons, Luneville. and lielfaut, near St. Omer, have received orders to forthwith join their respective corps.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY-APPEAL. This was an appeal from a decree of Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood. The contention was whether the appellant's representative of the late Mr. Aspinal, railway contractor, assignee of Messrs. Sharp and Welsh, railway contractors, were entitled to claim under the ori ginal contract with this company the expense and extra cost of making a branch line of railway for the company at Cooper's-bridge, Huddersfield. Lord Justice Turner, and Lord Justice Knight Bruce were of opinion that the appellant was entitled to the dif ference of the expense of the work certified as previously executed by Messrs. Sharp and "Welsh, and the money re ceived by them for the execution of such work. And de creed accordingly, without costs to either party, except costs of the original hearing in 1853, and such costs of the items as are specified in the order on farther directions which aro directed by that order to be paid to the plaintiff. Mr. llardy's client will also have his costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) M ARLBOROUGH -STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—ROBBING AN AMERICAN GENTLEMAN.—John Connolly, a violin player, was charged with stealing a gold watch, of the value of £lO, the pro perty of an American gentleman, named John Hervey Stinson, of 13, Alfred-place, Store-street. Mr. Stinson said—l went into a night house, the King's Head, Crown-street, about one this morning, and exposed my watch, and the prisoner snapped it off and took it. I was sober. Millord, SO, said the prosecutor was not sober when he took the prisoner at four o'clock. Mr. Stinson—The constable was more drunk than I was. Mr. Beadon—l've great doubts about that. Mr. Stinson—He took my watch and went through a little door, having handed the watch over the partition. The Chief Clerk—Why did you not give the prisoner into custody before four o'clock ? Mr. Stinson—l don't think it's disreputable to be out at that time. Mr. Beadon, to the prosecutor—Why do you not answer the question ? Mr. Stinson—Well, he snapped it off like he might yours. If you don't believe me you can have my address. I had been knocking about for some time. The only thing Mr. Bingham— Mr. Beadon—My name is not Bingham. Mr. Stinson—l've lost. my watch and I den't care much about it. Did not you take it (addressing the prisoner). The man is a coward and a perfect thief. I'm living on my income. Chief Clerk—You are a gentlemen, then. Mr. Stinson—l'm hardly a gentleman, but I guess I am. lam from Canada. Well, you can call me a gentleman My watch cost 123 American dollars. I told the man that I (lid net wish to make a fuss. Mullord, 80 C, said—l took the prisoner into custody. He said he had not got the watch, but if he was not charged, he could get it, as he knew the person who had it. He afterwards said he would rather suffer 10 years than tell who had it. The prisoner had been charged with a street robbery with violence. In answer to Mr. Beadon, the prisoner said his real name was Maddigan, and he wished to know whether the gentle man had not " boxed with some of the persons in the house ?" Mr. Stinson—Oh yes. I box with anybody. The depositions having been read over, the prisoner was committed for trial. THAMES. STREET ROBBERY.—EIiza Ware, a bloated-looking woman, aged 35, and notorious for her disorderly conduct, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a purse containing 9s. from the person of Mr. William West. moat, a sawyer, of No. 17, Samuel•street, Limekouse-fields. The prosecutor was on his way home at a late hour last night, and was accosted by the prisoner, who asked him to treat her with liquor, which he refused to do, and endeavoured to get rid of her. She continued, however, to walk alongside of him, until she found an op portunity of putting her hand in his pocket and abstracting from it a purse containing 7s. and a florin, with which she ran away. She was pursued and overtaken. In the course of her flight she threw away the purse and money. A police constable, No. 416 K, afterwards recovered both. She pleaded guilty, and said she had a little baby to maintain, and it was very ill. Mr. Yardley—These street robberies by women are very frequent indeed, and I cannot pass over this offence. The prisoner—Oh, pray do, sir. I will never come here again. Mr. Yardley—l cannot pass it over, indeed. You have committed a most impudent robbery. I sentence you to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three calendar months. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Our market to-day was very scantily supplied with Eng lish wheat, coastwise and by land carriage. Although the attendance of millers was not to say numerous, the demand for all kinds ruled steady, at fully Monday's advance in the quotations. Foreign wheat, the show of which was limited, was held for more money. The business done, however, was trifling. There was more inquiry for floating cargoes, at extreme rates. Batley, the supply of which was trifling, sold readily, at very full prices. There was a slight improvement in the malt trade, on former terms. Oats sold freely, at quite as much money as last week. Beans and peas wore very firm in price. The flour trade was steady. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. 520 ( 430 i . 300 ' 40 i 660 EngliAh Irish Feroign 70 sks bls. WIIITECHAPEL.

EXTRAORDINARY BEQUESTS.—There has Just been gathered to her fathers Agnes Hamilton,' grocer, Com mercial-road, Glasgow, an old miserly woman, at the age of Si, and who has left £23,000 of her savings from a small shop which she had rented for about 40 years. She was in every respect a miser, but she was a m iser-merchant, who looked after the pence par exrellenee, and also after the pounds. She was never married , and studiously avoided parting with a single farthing that she could avoid. In this way, and by dint of half starvation, she succeeded in realising the above large sum, which she has bequeathed i n £4 annuities to dcstitutepeople of good moral character who are natives of, and have lived in, the Gorbals parish of Glas gow 40 years, and who have attained the age of 65. A s the parish is small very flewqualified claimants exist, or can exist. She has left nothing to any of her relations.
