MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. J SHARE CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has been very inactive. The advance in the minimum rate of discount, together with the unfavourable aspect of foreign politics, having interfered with the ordinary course of trade. Tea has been exceedingly dull, late rates being barely supported. In sugar the dealings have been confined to immediate re quirements and a slight decline has taken place in values. The inquiry for coffee has been limited, with a downward tendency in prices. Rice has been less active, although previous rates are main tained. In currants a moderate business has been done at an advance of ls. to 2s. per cwt. For saltpetre there has been rather an active inquiry, late quotations being fully Eupported. Tallow has been very inactive, and a further decline of ls. to ls. 6d. per cwt. has occurred, P.Y.C., on the spot, being now quoted 505., and for last three months 568. per cwt. At the public sales of Colonial wool, which com menced yesterday, the attendance of both home and foreign buyers was large. The biddings were moderately active, but owing to the unfavourable state of foreign politics, and the excitement conse quent upon the General Election at home, prices, in most instances, were at a reduction on former rates. Sydney wools may be quoted lid. to 2d. Per lb., and Port Philip 2'd. to 3d. lower. There was a very small quantity of Cape wools in the sale, and prices experienced a correspwiding decline. There is still an active demand for discount, in spite of the advanced rates now charged for accom modation. About £1,000,000 has to be paid to-day on account of the Indian Loan, and this has aug mented the general inquiry. Commercial require ments, however, are likely to diminish, as the advices from all parts of the country report a curtailment of business, owing to the unfavourable position of continental politics. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, a moderate business was transacted, and about 4,000 bales were disposed of, at the previous decline. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices experienced a considerable fall. About £64,000 in bar gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. A call for £2 per share, or £lBO,OOO, becomes due to-day on the Bahia and San Francisco Railway. The annual meeting of the Assam Company took Place to-day, at which Sir Wm. Baynes, Bart. presided. The report stated that tranquillity pre vailed in Assam, and that the estates had been comparatively uninjured by the late mutiny. The area of land in cultivation was 3,342 poorahs. During the past season 154 poorahs of land had been cleared and sown, and upwards of 200 acres had been cleared in Cachar previously to sowing. The crop of 1858 amounted to 770,4321b5., and that of the current year was estimated at 8 45,0001b5. The whole of the produce of 1857 realised in Eng land X 57,539 12s. sd. net, or ls. 81d. per lb., after deducting all expenses ; and the portion sold in India had produced £1,383 Bs. The price of the crop of 1857 had not re alised the estimate of the directors by 1 per lb. This had arisen from the general de cline in the price of tea both in China and Assam, and not from its inferior quality. The mar ket was now firmer, but the directors thought it advisable not to estimate the crop of the past and current seasons at a higher price than that of 1857. The directors recommended a dividend of 10 per cent. on the paid-up capital. After some discussion, the report was adopted. Mr. Tite, M.P., Mr. Warren, and Mr. Fox were re-elected directors, and the auditors were also re-elected, When the meeting passed a vote of thanks to the directors and secretary of the company. It appears that H.M.'s steamer Caradoc, which left Alexandria, April 28, with Lord Elgin on boar 1, conveyed the Bombay mail of Aprill 11 to Marseilles. She arrived there yesterday, and the 'nails left at 10 p.m. The Australian (st.) had not reached Suez up to April 27, and the Nepaul waits at Alexandria to bring the mails forward upon their arrival at that place. The market for English Securities continues very inactive, as the liquidation of the account is still in progress. At present there is very little inclination to enter into speculative transactions, as credit has severely suffered from the recent failures. On the whole, however, the market is tolerably steady, owing to the scarcity of stock and the demand for it on behalf of the investing public. Consols have been 90 to 90i, and they continue firm at those quotations. The New Threes are firm at 8911, and the Reduced at 891 1. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 215, 218, and 219 ; India ditto has receded to 213, but the Debentures have improved to 931 ; and Exchequer Bills are 16s, to 235. prem. The New India Scrip is quoted 92, being 3 discount. The transactions in the Foreign Stock Market are of a rather restricted character, and prices are heavy. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 60 to 62 ; ditto New, 50 to 52 ; Portuguese have declined to 391 ; Mexican to 161; Dutch 4 per Cents. to 90 and 92 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. to 371 to 38 ; and the De ferred to 251 ; Grenada Deferred is steady at ; and Brazilian 41 per Cents. at 90. The Railway Share Market has exhibited rather l uore firmness, a rise of about 1 to 1 per cent. being apparent on one or two of the principal l ines. Great Westerns have advanced ss. Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, 10s. North British, 15s. ; and Great Northern, North Western, and Midland, £l. Eastern Counties have declined I °s., Caledonian 15s, Brighton £l, and South Western £1 10s. The Foreign lines have shown no change of im portance. Great Luxembourg are flat at 41.

Jennings, Eurythorpe was suddenly lost all trace of, after leaving a be er h ouse in' Malton, having, it is thought, at the time of Ills disappearance, much property upon him. The most strenuous exertions were made for many weeks by his rela tives to trace him, and eventually a reward of £5O, increased by Government to £lOO, was offered for his discovery alive or dead. Much excitement has just been re-occasioned in Mahon by the arrest of a man and a woman o f d ou btf u l ch aracter, lately residing at Norton, near M a lt on , on suspi cion of having some guilty knowledge of Mr. Jennings. The woman, at York, when intoxicated, appears to have Made allusion to "robbing and doing for" an old gentle- Man at Mahon. The house occupied by the prisoners has been searched by the police, and a hat and handkerchief found which are thought to have been Mr. Jennings's pro perty. The prisoners were on Monday brought before the magistrates at Malton, and were remanded,—Manchester Guardian. rIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. i Share) Railways. Paid.

MOTION BY ORDEIt-BISHOP V. CLAIM. His Honour the Master of the Rolls ordered plaintiff and defendant, and their witnesses, to appear in court and be orally examined and cross-examined on their affidavits produced in this case. It appeared from the examination of the plaintiff's medi cal attendant, that he was confined to bed in prison with pulmonary consumption and inflammation, and was unable to attend. Mr. Draper was examined to prove the payment of £2O by plaintiff to defendant. . _ The defendant, Mr. Clark, was also examined. It ap peared from his evidence that he supplied the plaintiff with clothes, to the value of £lB ls. 6d., on August 13, 1858, and aftewards advanced money to him at 10 per oent. interest, to the amount of £lB5, for payment of which a mortgage security was ultimately taken, the validity of which is the subject matter of this suit. On cross-examination it was elicited that he had been twice through the Insolvent Court, and a bill of sale was granted on his stock in trade. He advanced the money out of his ready money business. He did very small business on credit. Mr. Tyson, oil merchant and drysalter, formerly an attorney's clerk, prepared and attested the mortgage deed in question. Mr. Bishop informed him that defendant had paid him the money, and desired witness to hand over the mortgage security to the defendant, Mr. Clark, which he did. Plaintiff did not pay him a bill for £3O, which was agreed to be pain him for his trouble in the business. His Honour said ho would consider the evidence before giving judgment. COURT Or 13ANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) PRIVATE ARRANGEMENTS. A case of a rather peculiar nature transpired this morning in open court, although the matter had been the subject of an arrangement under the Private Arrangements Act. The petitioners had made a proposition to pay 10s. in the pound by two instalments, the first at the end of two months, the remainder at the expiration of four months, the last to be secured by three sureties. Petitioners were ready to pay the first, and asked protection for the remainder of the period. The original protection granted by Mr. Commis sioner Goulburn was renewed. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE BITRKE-THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. In this case the bankrupt, who had carried on business as a hat manufacturer in the Old Kent-road, was appointed one of the trade assignees of the Royal British Bank, but having become involved with Charles Woolterton, also a a bankrupt, he came before the court. The accounts, by Mr. T. S. Cooper, show but a small amount of debts and liabilities on the bankrupt's private account. An adjourn ment was taken by consent. a e Ts a s h n i c r t e i 0 . . .

Z. CAMERON. In the case of this bankrupt, who was the manager of the Royal British Bank, a new assignee was chosen, and Mr. Taylor, one of the assignees of the bank, was ap pointed. TN RE COWELL AND BROOKE. These bankrupts were brewers, at the Castle Brewery, St. George's-road. The accounts, by Messrs. Butler and Cannings, show heavy debts and liabilities, but with the assets which can be depended on there will probably be a fair dividend. IN RE STRANGE. This bankrupt was described as of Stevenage, miller, and to-day came up for his examination. He Was opposed by Mr. Cox (Willough and Cox), and supported by Mr. T. Beard. An adjournment was ordered for bankrupt to furnish further accounts. SHERIFFS' COURT. THE BOOKBINDING TRADE.-WILSBY V. LEWIS. This was a summons to recover a fortnight's wages in ieu of notice. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the defendant. Plaintiff stated that he had been employed by the de fendant at certain wages, which had been reduced, as he agreed to go in for a constant situation. Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, said that plaintiff was only employed upon a certain job, and that it was customary in the bookbinding trade to take in a man fsr a job, and to dismiss him as soon as it was finished. Plaintiff said that might be so, but in this case he was employed at a lower rate of wages than those usuallypaid to jobbing men ; and he accepted such wages on condition of having constant employment, and the notice contingent upon such a situation. His Honour gave plaintiff a verdict. TILE BETTING ACT AND STAKEHOLDERS.-B/GWOOD V. BRITEN. This was an action to recover 21s. under the following peculiar circumstances. Plaintiff was in defendant's pub lic-house, in Leadenhall-market, on the evening of the prize fight between Sayers and Benjamin. Much betting was going on, and at last a young man came in and said he would bet 20s. to Is. that Benjamin had won the fight. Plaintiff said he would have a pound's worth, and staked a shilling in the defendant's hands, the young man staking his 20s. The following morning he found that Benjamin had lost, and waited upon the defendant for the stakes. The defendant refused to give them up unless the other better was agreeable, and hence the present summons. His Honour said prize fighting was illegal and betting was illegal, and therefore plaintiff could only claim Is, Verdict for Is. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. ANSWERING FOIL BAD RVLATlONS.—Elizabeth Moore, an intelligent-loJking little girl about 16 years of ago, was charged with robbery ; and after the offence had been fully inquired into, the question was put, " Does any one know anything about this girl ?" After an answer in the nega tive, an officer stated someting about prisoner's father, mother, and sisters. Springate, the gaoler, said he knew nothing of the girl, but a metropolitan police-officer was put forward as a person who knew something. Upon being sworn, this officer stated that he did not know anything about the girl, but her father was not the best of persons. Her mother was even now in prison, and added something about the rest of the family which had no earthly connection with the prisoner's present offence, but which was patiently listened to. The girl was remanded till to morrow. ALLEGED EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT.—DanieI Keshan, a very respectably-attired young man, described as a clerk, was charged with embezzlement. Mr. Do Jersey appeared for the prosecutors, and Mr. Beard for the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was clerk to Messrs. Mitchell and Co., and it was part of his duty to collect monies and account for the same to his employers. Two witnesses proved paying sums of £l3 155., £l2 108., and £6 Bs. to the prisoner. No entries were made in the books as to the amounts £l3 155., or £6 Bs., but in reference to the sum of £l2 10s. there was an entry in the cash jour nal of £7 13s. Alderman Allen inquired if that amount had been paid on account, and he was informed that the prisoner had en tered it simply as cash. Mr. De Jersey said, that the case was very aggravated, inasmuch as the prisoner had falsified the books, entering one sum in their cash book £7 13s. and another in the ledger £9 12s. The amount £l3 15s. was not entered in the cash book, but was entered in the ledger upon a different date to that upon which the prisoner received the money. The prisoner had received a cheque from one person (in debted to Messrs. Mitchell and Co.), and that cheque had been paid into the Union Bank, and an inquiry was pro ceeding in the bank as to by whom the cheque was paid in. The depositions were being read when our reporter left, but the case will be concluded to-day. THAMES. AN INCORRIGIBLE SAUCY OrFENDmn.---Mary Hillyer, a woman about 30 years of age, was brought bafore Mr. Yardley, charged with robbing her ready furnished lodgings. Honor Martin, a widow, of No. 61, Limehouse-cause way, said the prisoner and her husband had been living in a ready furnished apartment in her dwelling for several weeks, and she had reason to believe the prisoner had been continually pawning the goods, and indulging in her pro pensity for strong drinks with the money she raised upon the property. On Wednesday evening the prisoner took out a pillow, and witness then went into the room and missed other things. Yes terday the prisoner's husband asked where the sheets were, to which the witness replied, " I suppose they are on the bed." The husband said they were not on the bed, and that his wife must have taken them away. Soon afterwards the prisoner came home intoxicated, and upon charging her with making away with the property, she went outside of the house into the street, picked up some stones and other ,Aissiles, and deliberately smashed the win ' dows. She then sent for a police-constable and gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner, in her defence, said sho had only taken one sheet out of the room, and that she had given to a woman to pawn, and intended to redeem it this day. Mr. Yardley—ls she a drunkard ? Mrs. Martin—Yes, sir, continually drunk The prisoner —Whenever I got drunk it was along with you. A young woman here stepped into the witness -box, and said the prisoner had paid her a visit and stolen a cotton dress from her. Mr. Yardley directed the police to ascertain what had become of the cotton dress, and the property stolen from Mrs. Martin's house, and remanded the prisoner. A police constable —The prisoner has been convicted before for plundering her ready furnished lodgings. Mr. Yardley—The prisoner is remanded until Thursday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY OF VALUABLE SILK DRESSES.—James liol lett, of 10, Little Portland-street, employed as a porter at Messrs. Sowerby and Tatton's, silk. mercers, &c., 272, Regent-street, and Maria Hollett, his wife, were charged before Mr. Bingham, by Inspector ?ethers of the E divt sion, with stealing a quantity of silk dresses of the value of upwards of £6O. Lambert, 68 E, said from information he received he went to Messrs. Sowerby and Tatton's, 272, Regent-street, and there saw the male prisoner, and told him he was suspected of stealing silk and other articles to a large amount, and asked him where he resided. He said at first, Hollings worth-street, Holloway, but afterwards said in Little Port land-street, with a cousin. He (Lambert) asked him if it was not his wife, and he then admitted it was. He told him he must consider himself in custody for robbing his employers, and then went with him to Little Portland street, accompanied by Inspector Tethers, and on seeing his wife told her that her husband was charged with stealing silk dresses, and asked if he had brought any home. She said none whatever, and that she . had no duplicates. He (Lambert) then told her that he must search the place, and in a chest of drawers he found silk dresses, cloaks, and other property. Inspector f'etliets said he also found several articles, and three duplicates for silk, pledged for sums of £3, £2 10s., and £2. Mr. George Roberts, assistant to Messrs. Sowerby and Tatton, identified a brown satin dress produced as being in stock in his department about the 14th of April, and the other property he believed to belong to the firm. The pri soner had been in their employ about 14 months as porter, and had access to the department where the property was taken from. The male prisoner asked whether he might be admitted to bail. The dresses never belonged to Messrs. Sowerby and Co. They were presents made to his wife before her marriage. Mr. Roberts said four of the dresses alone were worth X34--one of them (a brown satin one with a handsome brocaded skirt) being worth 181 guineas, which had been consigned to them from a Lyons house. Mr. Bingham—Then certainly not the dress to be worn by a porter's wife. Lambert here produced a large box full of property found at the prisoner's lodging s , _ _ Mr. Bingham said, in remanding the prisoners, that he should decline taking bail for either of them.

It having been officially stated that no treaty has been entered into between France and Russia, there was very little disposition shown to operate in English wheat to day. The show of samples was small, and it was with some difficulty that Monday's advanced rates were sup ported. The imports of foreign wheat are 16,140 quarters. Most descriptions were held at full prices; but the business transacted was very limited. Scarcely any floating cargoes were on offer. We had a moderate inquiry for barley at previous rates, and fine malt supported Monday's currency. Oats were much less active, and damp parcels were rather easier.

His lordship honoured the party for some time with his presence, and, after respond ing to the toast of Lady Palmerston, he took his leave.— Sher borne Journal. "--In a sp eec h at the " SHIPWRECKED SEAMEN. Liverpool Amphitheatre a few evenings since Mr. Horsfall, M.P., told the following story :—When in Staffordshire, a very short time ago, four seamen came to the door—at least four men who represented them selves as seamen—and said they were in great distress, having been shipwrecked off Hull. I went to speak with them, as my sympathies are, and I hope they always will be, with seamen. (Hear, hear, and ap • plause.)

A Parliamentary paper, presented to the House of Lords by command of the Queen, contains copies of treaties, political and territorial, between Aus tria and sundry Italian States from 1815 to 1848, the two memorable years in which the long Euro pean war was brought to a close and the general European revolution broke out. 'he= list of papers now printed includes, 1, an extract from the Treaty of Vienna, dated June 2, 1815 ; 2, the additional and separate article to the Territorial Treaty be tween Austria and Sardinia, dated May 20, 1815 ; 3, protests of the Pope against certain resolutions of the Treaty of Paris and the Vienna Congress, dated June 12, 1815 ; 4, an extract from a despatch from Sir Wm. A'Court to Viscount Castlereagh, commu nicating the purport of a treaty between Austria and Sicily, dated June (July) 12, 1815; 5, a treaty between Austria and Tuscany, dated June 12, 1815; 6, a treaty between Great Britain, Austria, Fram e , Prussia, Russia, and Spain, dated June 10, 1817 ; 7, a treaty between Lucct, Modena, Tuscany, Austria, and Sardinia, (ti e d N ovem b er 28, 1844 ; 8, a t reaty between _ ' s ..ustria and Modena, dated December 24, 1847 and 9, a tre a ty b e t ween Austria and P arma; "(lilted February 17, 1848. By the treaty between Austria and Modena of 1847 the two Powilra bind themselves to lend cach other help and assistance in the event of "an attack from without," and the Emperor further promise 3 to lend every military assistance necessary for the mainte nance and re-establishment of " tranquillity and legal order" in the interior of the States of the Duke of Modena. A similar treaty, niutatis ?mean. dis, was concluded between Austin, and Parma in February, 1848, just before the outbreak of the French Revolution, which resulted in the downfall and ignominious expulsion of Louis Philippe (afterwards Count de Neuilly). A treaty of May 20, 1815, between Austria and Sardinia, confirms to the latter kingdom the right of reversion to the duchy of Placentia, stipulated for by. the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748, and by the Treaty of Paris of 1763. The Treaty of Vienna (1815) ar ranged that the duchies of Modena, Reggio, and Mirandola should be p ossesse d b y t h e Archduke of Este and his successors ; and the duchy of Massa (lately the theatre of an insurrection) by the Arch duchess of Este, who was also to hold the principa lity of Carrara and the Imperial fief of Lunigiana. To the ex-Empress of France, the Archduchess Maria Louisa,'second consort of Napoleon the Great, were assigned the duchies of Parma, Placentia, and Guastalla. Tuscany was secured to the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria. The rights of succession and reversion established in the branches of the Arch dukes of Austria relative to the duchies of Modena, Reggio, and Mirandola, as also of the principalities of Massa and Carrara, were preserved. The renr sion of the duchy of Parma and Placentia was to be determined (we use the past tense now in speak ing of the virtually extinct Treaty of Vienna) by common accord between the Courts of Austria, Russia, France, Spain, Prussia, and England, al ways having regard to the rights of reversion pos. sensed by the house of Austria and the King of Sardinia to the said countries. The " principality" of Lucca, created into a duchy, was to be possessed in entire sovereignty by her Majesty the Infanta Maria Louisa and her descendants in the direct male line, an income of 500,000 f. being added by the Emperor of Austria and his Imperial Highness under certain cont:n jencies. The duchy of Lucca was to revert to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, if it became vacant by the death of her Majesty th e Infanta Maria Louisa, or of her son Don Carlos, or supposing the Infanta to obtain another " establish ment." The Marches, with_ Caruerino, &c., were restored to the Holy See, as also the Legations of Ravenna, Ferrara, and Bologna. His " Imperial and Royal Apostolic .Majesty," however, was to have the right of placing garrisons at Ferrara and Commachia. We have noticed the treaties with Parma and Modena. Austria and Tuscany agreed to combine to prevent the peace of Italy. from being disturbed. The Emperor engaged to furnish at least 80,000 men of all arms for that purpose, and the Grand Duke 6,000. Of course, these documents are now hardly worth the paper oh which they are printed. THE WESTMEATH RIBAND OUTRAGE. Tne following additional particulars are from the Dublin Mail of Wednesday. Saunders's Newsletter of Thursday morning states that Mr. Jessop has died of his wounds :—" We have just learned that the unfortunate Jessop still survives, but with little or no hope of his recovery. The assassin has not yet been captured, but we understand that the authorities have been furnished with a clue to his detection. His escape would be a matter of im• possibility if the feeling of the inhabitants were in a healthy state. This, howeVer, we are sorry to say, is far from being the case, the sympathies of poor Jessop's neighbours being entirely with the would be murderer. The land, for being in possession of which Jessop was doomed to death, was some years since held by a farmer named Ryan, who, finding his circumstances much redue;d by the occurreneco of the famine years, and being apprehensive o eviction for non-payment of rent, disposed of his good-will of the land to Mr. B. Delaney, a magis trate at that time residing in the neighbourhood. Mr. Delaney, after having held the farm fir some years, removed to another county and determined to surrender it to the landlord, having previously, as we are informed, had substantial reasons for believing that he could not, with safety to his own life, let it to anybody but a relation of the former possessor. Pending the final surrender of the farm, Mr. Delaney let it in conacre to Edward Kelly, who was not many months in possession when he was foully murdered at his own door. His widow con tinued to hold the land until she had secured the growing crops, which were gathered under the superintendence of a body of police armed with muskets and bayonets, the relatives of Ryan, the former occupier, ostentatiously assisting in reap ing the corn. The crops being secured, Mrs. Kelly was only too glad to get rid of the farm, which was then formally given up to the owner, Mr. Smythe, of Drogheda. No sooner was it known that the farm was again to be let than the Ryans posted written requests' (not notices) to all per sons whom they deemed likely to become candidates for the tenancy, including several respectable gen tlemen, asking them not to compete for the land. It would appear that the hint was understoo3, for the Ryans were not opposed by their immediate neighbours. Poor Jessop, of Tyrrellspass, however, a stranger and a Protestant, was rash enough to offer himself as a tenant a few months ago ; and, unfortunately for himself, he was accepted. Had he remained in his former district he would have There escaped the blunderbuss of the assassin. is reason to believe that the murder of Jessop was not only deliberately planned, but that the Riband judgment was well known throughout the neigh bourhood for a considerable time before it was put into execution. The market of Kilbeggan last Saturday was one of the most crowded which has been known for months past, and the numbers returning to their houses in the afternoon was pro portionately large. It was about three o'clock p.m. when Jessop left the town, and proceeded home wards on the high road leading to Mullingar. He must have been marked in Kilbeggan by his enemies, and closely watched on his retur n by the assassin, whom he had more than once remarked walking near him. The spot selected for the murder was apparently chosen far the facilities it afforded for escape. The road is bounded on the one side by a low wall, in which is a stile com municating with a large pasture field containing 30 or 40 acres. Here it was that the assassin approached his victim so closely that the clothes of d th e e ro l u a s tt w er ea w po e n re . burned H He fell o b n y hi tshkenefierse; but,ofthgeuitnekulry recovering himself, he endeavoured to pursue the man who shot him. But the poor fellow knew n A o e t en t rin h d at a he had oth er enem i es to con t en d w ith. to his own account, no sooner had he risen from his knees than a farmer, who was re turning from the market with a load of corn , rapidly drew his horse and cart across the path of the wounded man, so as to obstruct his view of the assassin until he had escaped over the wall, and was beyond the range of Jessop's pistol. A man is in custody, as an accessory after the fact, sup posed to be the person who screened the murderer. We have now to record an occurrence still more disgraceful. Immediately before Jessop was shot e e r al w th a y s f i a n rm th er e s a d c i t .nv o e f weapon — in —perhapspresenting his the mu tw rd o et w • u t n h e yl g car, the other in a gig. past, one on o s a f w t h j e e s b s l o u p n d f e a r l u u s n s d, thenth e they The tur n y e d h eartheird heads,tae .reporta ' --they tpreocteeemdepdnromn.y barrack, theirwa adjoining Jessop s Nay,. mo re, they passed the h o use, and they did id the not shootingreport t o ofththee policeman whom th at they had witnessed those police were appo inted to p rotect.

There must have been many others returning from the market, and it is known that several l a b ourers arid women were at work in the adjoining fields, who could hardly have failed to witness the outrage and the escape of the assassin. And it is gathered from poor Jessop's incoherent and half-delirious expres sions that he entreated two passers-by to help him to his home, and was coldly refused ! It is reported that the sacrifice of Jessop as resolved on, not merely because he became the tenant of the farm for occupying which his predecessor was murdered, but also as a lesson to a neighbouring proprietor, some of whose tenants were under notice to quit on the Ist of May. If this be true, we fancy the con spirators have reckoned without their host, for the gentleman to whom we allude is said to be a man not easily intimidated." THE RATE OF DISCOUNT. An advance of one per cent. in the rate of dis count was resolved upon by the Bank Court yes terday, in addition to that of like amount which took place last Thursday. The charge, therefore, is now 41 per cent. This measure is a result merely of the move ments of the public. There is no excessive pressure from any immediate wants on the part • of the mercantile body, but every one is properly anxious to provide against contingencies. For two or three months past it has been plain that the enormous outlay consequent on the general arming of Europe would be attended by an absorption of specie that must cause a continued increase in the value of capital, and few therefore can have been taken by surprise, although the actual commence ment of hostilities has slightly accelerated the alteration. The d ra i n of gold for the Continent may go on for some time, but cannot extend beyond a certain stage. There are but three ways in which foreigners can get money from us. 1. By withdrawing all balances we may at present hold on their account. 2. By appealing for loans. 3. By sending hither for sale all their disposable pro duce. The first of these processes has been in ope ration for some weeks, and will soon end; the second, happily, is not likely to prove successful ; the third would be a suicidal sacrifice,, and could lead for ns to nothing but profit. Hence there is no ground for particular apprehension in any of these respects. Our own expenditure for defensive pur poses is likely to produce a greater effect, but the extent to which it will be counteracted by the reten tion of those surplus means usually devoted in ordi nary times to distant investments is very great. We have the light of recent experience to aid our conjec tures on the entire question. During the two months preceding the declaration of war against Russia in 1854 the Bank lost about £1,600,000 of bullion. In the succeeding two months they lost an additional sum of £2,100,000, and from that date up to nearly the end of the contest there was no further serious reduction. At the commencement of danger the rate of dis count had been promptly raised to 51 per cent., and if the Bank henceforth pursue a course equally vigilant there will be every reason for confidence in the commercial stability of the country.—Times' City Article. PRINCE ALFRED AT BEFROUT. The Euryalus, with Prince Alfred on board, arrived here on Friday, the Bth of April, from Jaffa, at which port she remained upwards of 10 days, so as to enable her officers to visit Jerusalem and the River Jordan. She left Beyrout early yesterday morning for Sidon, and returns this forenoon, in order that the captain, his officers, and the Prince may be present •at a ball given this evening by Mr. Moore, the• English Consul-Geueral, in honour of their - arrival. Not that the invitations are worded either for the invited to meet the Prince or the officers of the Euryalus, for in this Mr. Moore has shown good sense, and Beyrout is the first place where his Royal Highness has been received—although with all due respect—without any :of that parade, and show, and fuss which he has encountered elsewhere, but which is perfectly incompatible with his position as a midshipman in the navy. When the Bury alus anchored in the Beyrout Roads, the Pasha, attended by all the civil and military functionaries of the province, went on board to pay their respects to the Prince. As a matter of course, they could not understand how it was that the son of a reining Sovereign could possibly waive his rank while l earn i ng hi s profes sion. They were, however, received on board by the captain, and, although introduced to the Prince, were told that he was to be considered as a simple midshipman of the frigate. The Pasha placed his stud of horses at the disposal of his Highness, and of this civility the latter has availed himself once or twice during the week he has been here. The Consul-General asked the Prince, as well as some of the other officers, to his house, where they dined and slept, returning next day to the frigate. This, however, is not more than the usual attention shown by our consuls to the officers of British men of-war. In short, there has been no more fuss made about the Euryalus and Prince Alfred than there would have been about any other large frigate one of whose midshipmen was furnished with good letters of introduction. The Euryalus leaves to morrow, either for Malta or Constantinople. As regards our large fripiates, I wish they would show themselves a little oftener on the coast of Syria. In the last three years the Euryalus . is the first ship of war of any mag nitude that has paid us a visit. It would be quite as well if we were to keep up our influence, and show our strength a little more in this country, where we were once considered—what we are—as the greatest naval Power in the world. The French, Austrians, Sardinians, Americans, and even Rus sians, parade some of their very largest ships from time to time in these waters, but with us it seems enough to send a gunboat or a surveying vessel now and again to Syria, leaving many large ships idle almost the whole year in Malta harbour. In making mention of the advent of Prince Alfred to Beyrout, I ought to tell you how anxious all the mountaineers of Lebanon have been for the last two months about his coming. Like all Orientals they would couple the event with some future political event, and when told that such is not the case, simply believe that you are trying to deceive them. So soon as the guns of the Euryalus were heard in the mountain all the emirs, sheiks, and peasants-- Christians lay ansaas their es well arsDpreuctss to es— the cro son of thedownwded Queen to the m of E ore ng d l is a a nd. ppoinTtheedy, whenw er m e told uc h that surprised, the p rand P r ince couldstill receive no one, being simply a young man learning his duty as a naval officer. They can hardly under stand this, but yet they admire the stern discipline which makes no distinction between the son of the Sovereign and the son of a subject. They have magnified Major Cowell's rank into that of a general officer, and believe that the Prince is attended by a general wherever he goes. Many of the more wealthy chiefs brought down with them horses, arms, and other valuables, which they in tended to beg his Royal Highness to ac cept of, and cannot comprehend how it is that be would not be allowed to receive them. They are shrewd, too, in their generation, are these mountaineers. " What a fine harvest," said one of them the other day to me, " what a fine harvest the Turkish authorities would reap from us were a son of the Sultan to come to Syria—why, the very pipe bearers would make their fortunes."
