MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. There is very little change to notice in the general appearance of the Money Market, for, although the demand has been stimulated by the payment connected with the Victoria railways, and the preparatory arrangements for the mercantile bills of the 4th inst., the terms of discount have not under gone any material alteration. The supplies continue abundant, and there is sufficient competition for business among the moneyed interest to keep down the quotations at a low point. Although several new loans are spoken off, which may ultimately produce an effect, miscellaneous joint-stock enter. prise is at present restricted, and the absorption of money for that purpose is comparatively unim portant. The foreign exchanges yesterday exhibited no Material alteration. About £76,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The Donald M'Kay has been announced this morning from Australia with 34,396 ounces of gold, valued at £137,584, and the Parana, from the West Indies, with £177,656. The latest advices from the Australian Colonies Mention that the following vessels with specie are en route for this country, viz., the Norfolk with 40,643 ounces, or £162,572, left November the 28th ; the Red Jacket with 39,611 ounces, or £148,444, December 2 ; the Morning Light, 13,699 ounces, or X 54,796, and the Tornado with 29,164 ounces, or £ ll6 ,6s6—making a total of £482,468. Letters from Liverpool report that the cotton Market yesterday closed with a very firm appear ance, and 10,000 bales were sold at full quotations. In the railway share market continued inactivity Was visible, and prices tended downwards. At the meeting of the National Discount Com- Pally, held to-day, the following report was pre sented and agreed to :—" The directors have the pleasure of submitting to the shareholders a state ment of the accounts of the company, for the half sear ending 31st of December last, showing a gross profit of £32,521 Os. 7d., and that after deducting the current expenditure, writing off the usual por tion of preliminary expenses, making allowance for bad and doubtful debts, and reserving £ 11 ,667 12s. for rebate of i n t eres t on bill s discounted not yet due, there remains a balance of £13,555 1 ls., out of which the directors propose tn appropri a t e £9,633 12 s. 6d . f or t h e paymen t o f a dividend for the half-year, at the rate of 5 per cent • per annum, free of income tax, and to carry the. surplus, £3,921 18 s . 6d. t o th e reserve f u nd, which will then a moun t t o £18,463 15 s . ld. The directors have the satisfaction of stating that many valuable accounts have been opened during the Past year, and that the general business shows a steady and satisfactory progress." There has not been much animation in the market for Public Securities to-day, speculation b eing still rather restricted. It appears, however, that an extensive business has been transacted in "options," which will increase the importance of t he approaching settlement. Consols for money and the Bth inst. have been 951 and they are now decidedly flatter, viz., 951 ; for the March settle ment they are 957- 1. The investments for the Savings' Banks are still continued, but they Produce no effect upon the market. The purchase to-day comprised £20,000 stock. Bank Stock has been dealt in at 2271 to 229 ; the New Threes and the Reduced Annuities, at 954 961. Exchequer Bills are marked 345. to 375. prem.; India Loan - Debentures, 981 to 99 ; and the Bonds, 21s. prem. Long Annuities (1860) are ,3-I:6ths; and ditto (1885), 181. ' t A' .

The fact to which we allude is this, that within the last few days the Fronch Government have applied to one of the most extensive uhipowners in England to ascertain what number of vessels he could place within LiPecified time at the disposal of France, for the purpose of ' -a3lB l 3 orting troops ; and also the number of troops which such vessels would be capable of accommodating. It is understood that the shipowner in question had only to name his °wn terms.—lforning Advertiser. PURSUIT OF THE MURDERER OF MR. ELY.- 111 ° Cionmel Chronicle of Saturday says :—" Intelligence baa reached Clonmel that the constabulary of the police stations between Dungarvan and Cappoquin have been en gaged in a hot pursuit, through the broken country near el. —Edmore, after Delany, who has just turned up in that district. The fugitive, it appears, is armed to the teeth ;' and we regret to state that his extraordinary activity en abled him this once to outrun his pursuers. He escaped into the woods of Ballintaylor, but so exciting was the Chase, that, in his pursuit through that thick plantation, he left behind him his shoes. As the police are now so close upon his trail, his arrest may soon be looked for." MANCHESTER UNITY OF ODD FELLOWS.—NORTH LONDO N DISTRICT.—On Friday, the 28th inst., the large toom of the George and Blue Boar, Holborn, was filled With members of the various lodges, to witness the presen tation to P.P.G.M. Adam Ewart of a very handsome silver tea-service, in admiration of his sterling integrity, and re trLlguition of hi s f a ithf u l serv ices as a district and lodge officer. the present, with the appropriate testimonial accompanying I t, Was delivered to him by P.G.M. James Roe, the C.S. of the district, who in an eloquent speech set forth the worth °f the recipient to this society; and Mr. Ewart suitably 40--In'oNvledged the gift, which had been purchased with the voluntary subscriptions of the mmbers. He stated he joi ned the L on d on district on the Ist May, 1824 , having been 3 6 years an Odd Fellow. The return of this district (for 185 7) showed 6,483 members, w i th surp l us ca pit a l on the sick and funeral funds of £40,373 14s. 6d., and the number of members, and funds, have greatly increased n the last year, chief ,use coo stry Ae ri chr ereo neW vs el ,f big t . lento sou' , ''f, g ins - a nd ro- Ides , )our - The pers Able by P 41ist 11 Y. dis fl is THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1859.

DIVORCE COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Baron Martin, and Sir C. Cresswell.) PETITION FOR DIVORCE,--ARMITAGE V. ARMITAGE AND MACDONALD. This was a petition by the husband against the wife for divorce, for adultery. The wife did not appear. The co respondent, Colonel Macdonald, by his counsel, pleaded accord and satisfaction bypayment of XlOO damages, awarded by the jury in an action of damages tried before the Court of Common Pleas against the co-respondent. Counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Wandsworth and Mr. Pullen, read several affidavits to prove the fact of the mar riage, and the acts of adultery at Inverness, Edi n b urgh, and London, in Pimlico and Stanhope-street, from 1851 to 1&56. Dr. Deane appeared for the co-respondent, and pleaded that he should not be made liable to pay the costs of the action of divorce, because he had already paid the costs of the trial of the action of damages at common law, and it would be very heard to bring him again into court and make him pay double costs. There was no evidence to prove that Colonel Maoilonald knew that Mrs. Armitage was a married woman. Mr. Pullen, for the petitioner, replied. The learned counsel contended that there was fair inference to infer, from the evidence produced, that Colonel Macdonald was aware that Mrs. Armitage was a married woman at the time tho adultery was committed, and therefore liable to pay expenses of divorce. The petitioner was a retired soli eitor, from Bombay, who came to Scotland and married his wife at Inverness, in 1849. Mr. Justice Wightman said the petitioner, on the evidence of adultery produced, was entitled to a decree of divorce. With respect to the liability of the co-respondent to pay costs, he did not mean to lay down any general rule as to payment of costs by co-respondent, but looking to the particular circumstances of this case, that Colonel Mac donald had already paid damages and costs, and looking to the fact that Mrs. Armitage was seen in company with another man at the theatre, before the cohabitation with the co-respondent, and that she then took the name of Mac donald, baptised her child Macdonald, he did not think that Colonel Macdonald knew that Mrs. Armitage was a married woman, and therefore he was not liable to pay the costs of this action of divorce. Mr. Baron Martin and Sir C. Creswell entirely con curred. The Court decreed the dissolution of the marriage, with out costs against the co-respondent. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Potter and a Jury.) OMNIBUS OPPOSITION AND A CCIDENT.-DAMAGES, n 25.- HILCOCK V. FROWNE. Mr. Robinson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ser geant Ballantine for the defendant. The action was brought to recover damages sustained through the reckless conduct of defendant's servant. Mr. Robinson said this action arose out of a system fraught with much danger to her Majesty's subjects. He alluded to the system of opposition and racing by omnibus proprietors and their servants, Plaintiff was a sufferer by the systeM, and he now sought at the hands of tho jury substantial damages for injuries inflicted. •On the 25th of August plaintiff, a wine and spirit merchant in the City, was driving down the Clapham-road, in a gig, and he was met by three omnibuseS (one belonging to the defendant) which were racing. One stopped to set down a passenger, one went safely by, but defendant's 'bus, though called to by plaintiff and a friend who was with him, came into such violent collision that plaintiff and his friend were dashed out 'of the gig, which was completely turned over. Plaintiff was stunned and one of his legs cut opeu. Hs kept his bed for six weeks, and being a middle-aged man, the injuries would be permanent. The injury to his head in particular was very severe. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine here stopped the learned counsel for plaintiff, and offered terms, to which Mr. Robinson, on behalf of hifi client, assented. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said his client had always been to admit that plaintiff had been a sufferer by the act of his (defendant's) servant, and had, in fact, upon being applied to, offered £100; now he had consented to a ver dict fOr £125. He (the learned Sergeant) had been instructed to say that defendant discountenanced all opposition by his servants. • - The learned Secondary then entered a verdict for plain iff—danages £125. C.RI3IINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and Justice Byles.) John Williams and Robert Frost were indicted for a bur glary, Ind also with cutting and wounding Eversted, a police officer, while in the execution of his duty. Mr. Cooper conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoners. From the statement of the learned counsel, it appeared that the offence for which the prisoners were charged was one of a very serious character, and the police officer was most cruelly ill-treated. The prosecutor was a lady re siding in Devonshire-place, Victoria-park, and early on the morning of the 30th of Nov. last was awoke by hearing cries of " murder" and " stop thief," and upon looking into the garden she saw the constable in the act of pur suing two men, who jumped upon the garden wall, and shortly afterwards constable Eversted came to her covered with blood, and produced the decanter stand that had been stolen from a cheffioner on the ground floor. The constable said, while on duty he was passing the house of the prose ; cutrix, when he saw a light, upon which he went to the back of the premises and saw the prisoner Williams coming down stairs with a lighted candle in his hand. He got in at the back door and seized Williams, who immediately threw the candle down, and then the prisoner Frost came up, but on seeing the policeman he threw away a quantity of plate which he had in his possession, and endeavoured to rush past him. Eversted knocked him down, and both prisoners then made a most desperate attack upon him, and struck him several times with a "jemmy," which inflicted very severe wounds. He, however, continued to retain his hold for some time, but loss of blood rendered him faint, and eventually both men got away. He pursued them as long as he was able, and during the pursuit Williams dropped the decanter, which was identified by the prosecutrix as her property. The prisoners were not apprehended until the 4th of December, when both men, although differently dressed, were at once identified by Eversted as the men who assaulted him. At the termination of the evidence, which clearly brought home the offences charged, Mr. Ribton addressed the jury for the prisoners, and the learned judge having summed up the evidence, the jury, without hesitation, found both prisoners guilty of the capital offence. A former conviction was then proved against both pri soners. Baron Watson, in passing sentence, highly eulogised the conduct of the police constable, and ordered sentence of death to bo recorded against each prisoner, but the punish ment the prisoners would have to undergo would be ten years' penal servitude. Mr. Cooper drew the attention of the learned judge to the power he possessed of rewarding the conduct of the police constable. Baron*Watson said, in rewarding the meritorious conduct of the officer he felt the greatest pleasure, in which he felt assured every person in court participated. He had shown great courage, and had acted with such credit that he should order that a gratuity of £2O be paid to him• The announcement caused the greatest satisfaction. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE ST. PANCRAS DEFICIENCIES. Thomas Birchmore, lately relieving officer and overseer of the poor of the parish of St. Pancras, surrendered to an indictment, charging him with appropriating certain sums of money received on behalf of that parish to his own pri vate purposes. There were five indictments against the prisoner. Mr. Gifford and Mr. Poland appeared for the prosecu tion. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Metcalfe. The learned counsel for the prosecution having stated the charges against the prisoner, called Mr. Griffiths, a scripture reader, who stated in evidence that for some time he had paid to prisoner certain small sums of money, none of which were entered in the prisoner's receipt-book. Mr. Wyatt—l amo. director of the b oar d for the relief of the poor of St. Pane - ts, and a m ag i s t rate of the county. The prisoner was the relieving officer and overseer of the parish. The prisoner's appointment waste , written one, and part of his duty was to receive money on' the part of the parish, and he has told me he has done so. He paid the money in he collected from week to week, or I should say his receipt book in which he ought to enter all monies received on behalf of, the parish, and then pay them over to the clerk of the direc tors, who transmitted them, with the book, to the audit committee. I never knew him to pay over to the clerk any monies except those entered in the book. He never told me he had done so. On the 15th of Oct., 1858, the audit committee made a report concerning Mr. Birchmore. On the 16th he called at my house and told me that he had received the half-yearly dividend of one of the pailsY legacies, and had not accounted for it: I told him (not thinking that there were any other deficienc i es) he had better tell the audit committee all about it. I said I would summon the audit committee for the ne xt week, when I would give him all the benefit of any statement he made. Some other deficiencies were discovered, and he asked for a few days, when he would state ex actl y the position ho stood in with respect to the moneys he had received on behalf o f the parish. His request w as g ranted, and in a week after wards the board re - asse mbled. On the morning of the day the board was to assemble ho called at my house and told me he wished to make a statement ; but I told him I Would rather not hear him. He pressed me very much to hear him; and said he was a defaulter to about £lOO, but his securities were good. He asked me if I thought the directors would consent to liquidating it by his receiving half salary. I toad him they would not do that, and the least punishment would be his dismissal. He said he hoped they would not prosecute him, and I replied tharpersonally I had no wish to do so, but I could not tell what - restilt the committee might arrive at, but I advised him to appe ar h e fb rE ; th e board and state the whole truth. When the prisoner earns before the board he made a request that he might be allowed to liquidate his deficiencies by receiving only half sala r y. The proposal was rejected, and he was told the result of the meeting would be reported to the board on the fol lowing Tuesday. He said he should make the same pro positions when he appeared before it. lie never appeared, and in a few days after instructions were given to the police for his apprehension. Mr. Metcalfe—Wore the prisoner's accounts, as relieving officer, correct. Witness—l believe so. Mr. Metcalfe—Then the charges we are investigating are those committed by him in the capacity of overseer, not as relieving officer. Witness—l can't say that. He received the monies as a servant of the directors of the poor. Several other witne9.es were examined to prove the pay ment of certain small sums of money to the prisoner, for which he had not accounted in a proper manner. (The trial was proceeding when we went to press.) THIRD COURT. (Before the Common. Sergeant.) Elizabeth Stowe, 18, was indicted for stealing, and Bridget Woodhouse, 48, for feloniously receiving, a quan tity of articles, the property of Mrs. Collington. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. The evidence was of a very slight description, and the Common Sergeant, in his summing up to the jury, said before the prisoners could be found guilty of stealing th e y would have to decide whether the articles alleged to have been stolen were of such a worthless description as the prisoner Stowe, being a servant to Mrs. Collington, might consider she was doing no wrong in giving away. The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of not guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS .DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF STEALING AN EARILING.---SITSPICIOHS CONDUCT OF A SHOPREEPER.—AIMe Snelling , s young girl, servant to Mrs. Cook, of 18, ,Berwick-street, Soho r was charged with stealing an ear-ring, the property of her mistress. The prosecutriJe said that the previous morning, having missed one of her ear-rings from the place where she,had deposited it in the parlour, she went, accompanied by the prisoner, to a shop in Wardour-street, and asked if they had an ear-ring like the one she produced. Sho was told thoy had not, but that a girl resembling the prisoner had offered one for. sale on the previous day. That induced her to go to the shop of Mr. Borley, 17, Prince's-street, and on asking that person whether he had purchased one of the girl he hesitated, and denied at first having done so, but after about a quarter of an hour produced it, with the stones taken out. -Mr. Borley said he believed the prisoner to be the person he bought it of. kr. Leadley, the chief clerk, asked the witness why ho hesitated when the prosecutrix spoke to her about it. Mr. Borley denied having done so—he was at his dinner at the tithe. The prosecutrix said he hesitated and seemed to wish to induce the girl to say she had not sold it to him. Prisoner said she was guilty. Jacob Turner, 77 C, said hebelioved the prisoner's friends were respectable though poor. Mr. Beadon (addressing the witness 13orley)HMore assist ance ought to be given when a person came and asked for anything. . A respectable shopkeeper would do so. Inspector Bowles said the stones had been changed and inferior ones substituted. The proseerutrix said they were not the same stones. Mr. Beadon said he would have no tricks of that sort— the ring was broken up immediately. There could be no difficulty in the case when the companion one was pro duced. The prisoner must be committed for 14 days. Mr. Borley said the - stones were a no value. Mr. Beadon said he did not care what the value was—the ring was broken up and the stones taken out. It was any thing but creditable. ENGLISH PASSENGERS AT FRENCII PORTS. The complete statistics of the passenger traffic with England at the principal continental ports in 1858 have not yet been made public, but the fol lowing figures show the number of passengers at the French ports as compared with the preceding year : 1853. 1857. Decrease. Boulogne Calais Dieppe Havre. .. 15,446 .. 17,550 .. 2.214 Dunkirk. - 1,878 .. 2,279 .. 401 T0ta1.... 204,725 .. 234,243 .. 29,518 It thus appears that there is a decrease spread overall the ports, amounting to 10 per cent. on'the past year's traffic at Boulogne, exceeding 18 - per cent. at Dieppe, and amounting to 121 per cent. on the aggregate. Nearly the whole of this falling off occurred in the early part of 1858 during the ex ceptional rigours of the passport system, which were put in force after the attempt of Orsini. As these were little by little relaxed the traffic gradually re- Covered its former activity, so that there is reason to expect it may once more resume_ a condition of progressive increase. under the facilities recently granted to travellers in France. The Customs' duties paid at Boulogne amounted to £167,563 in 1858, against £195,315 in . 1857. At Calais they were £68,069 against £73,241, showing a reduction at both ports easily accounted for by the diminished activity of trade in general during the greater part of the part year. In 1858 gold was im ported into France to the value of £22,144,000, and silver to that of £6,424,000, making the total importations of the precious metals £28,568,000. The exports of gold were £2,660,000, and of silver £7,028,000, making a total of £9,688,000. In the nine years from 1849 to 1858 the imports of gold into France were £120,040,000, and the exports £26,200,000. In the same period the imports of silver were £48,600,000, and the exports (exclusive of amounts that may have been privately carried out of the country), £88,160,000. It would thus appear that during the nine years the circulation of gold in France has increased 93,84 0 , 000, while the amount of silver in circulation has diminished £89,560,000 ; and that contemporaneously with the gradual substitution of a gold for a silver currency there has been an increase in the total amount of the currency of £54,280,000. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English wheat on offer here to-day wag only limited. For good and fine qualities of both red and white the demand ruled steady, at full prices ; but inferior samples moved off heavily, at Monday's currency. Fine foreign wheats were held at extreme rates ; but all other kinds were quite neglected. Floating cargoes of grain were inactive. There was a fair demand for barley, at full quotations ; Malt, however, was a dull sale. The oat trade was somewhat inactive. In prices, how ever, no change took place. Beans and peas movod off steadily at very full currencies. There was a moderate business doing in flour at late rates. ARRIVALS TRTS WEEK. Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.
