NONEY MARKET AND .CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The markets for foreign and colonial produce d ' i riog the last few days have not been very active, al though in some of the principal staples a fair a mount of business has been transacted. In sugars 1 1° importa n t c h ange h as occurre d ; British plan ta tion was held at steady rates ; and in the refined Market dried goods have realised slightly improved quotations. The demand for tea has not been quite so active, but late values have been , 011 maintained for the superior descriptions. c ," p lan tation at public sale realised steady rates, and Vian tation and native Ceylon have been in rather more demand. An active business has been done in eGe °a, but the transactions in rum have not been im- P c 'rtant. The demand for new fruit continues good, a nd the trade have purchased rather largely. For salt petre there has been a more active inquiry, and prices generally have shown a tendency to advance. 1 ns tallow market has presented symptoms of im- Pr2vernent, and P.Y.C. on the spot has advanced to s‘s• 6d. to 585., and last three months 58s. per cwt. , The specie movement continues favoura b le, and td is cons equen tly accu mulating at the Bank of En gland.

The receipts from America continue on a Moderate scale, although the present rate of ex change at N ew Y or k' ensures on l y a t r ifli ng p ro fit u pon the transmission of gold to this country. further sum of about £68,000 was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. I'6 Blue Jacket, from Melbourne, arrived yes terday with £143,628 in specie.

(Before Mr. Forster.) THE SHIP BUILDING TRADE..--JOHNSON AND 19 OTHERS V. ROSE AND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover £5O, balance of a bill for re pairing a ship called the Jane Ewings. Mr. Young said that he represented the 20 plaintiffs, who were shipwrights, and claimants of the sum named in the summons. It appeared that a number of men were em ployed on the ship Jane Ewings, undergoing repairs in de fendant's yard. They received the usual 7s. per day wages, and it was customary, on the completion of the job to settle up the bill, the balance, if any, being divided amongst the 'men, according to their time. Johnson, the first plaintiff, was called, and said he had been at work upon the ship. He, in common with the other men, received the 7s. per day. The charges in the bill pro duced were fair and reasonable. The work had been done. Cross-examined by Mr. Philp—There were 22 men who would have been entitled to their share of the balance due, but the two not in the plaint waived all claim. Mr. Philp submitted that by a recent act, there being more than 20 plaintiffs, the parties could not sue unless re gularly enrolled by Act of Parliament. He thought the parties should sue separately. Mr. Young—That act was surely never intended to ap ply to shipwrights and journeymen. Besides, there are in reality only 20 plaintiffs, and the other two stand out. The parties could not sue separately, the work having been per formed jointly ; and it must be borne in mind that the several plaintiffs had been placed on the job by defendant's foreman. His Honour—l do not think the Act could have bren in tended to apply in such a case as this. However, the case had better proceed, and it would be soen how the matter stood as the cause went on. I think defendants should waive the objection. Witnesses were then called, and amongst the number a Mr. Cyder, who had been for 31 years a foreman at Messrs. Green and Wigram's yard. He said that the original bill made out by the plaintiffs was for £6O, but he had reduced it £lO. He considered the bill, a it now stood, to be very low as to its charges. Mr. Philp—That might be for large yards; but don't you know that in a small yard like defendant's (Gun Dock), smaller charges are made? Witness—ln my 50 years' experience the price of labour is the same in all yards. His Honour thought the case should be referred to a practical man. Referred accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—" A VERY RESPECTABLE MAN."—John Payne, a tall, shabby-looking man, who gave a wrong address, was charged before Mr. Bingham with uttering counterfeit coin at the Three Compasses, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square. Julia Lawrence, niece to Mr. John Harper, of the Three Compasses, Mount-street, said that, on the previous even ing, the prisoner came in, called for a glass of gin, and ten dered in payment a shilling, which, on examination, she found to be a bad one. She then handed it to her aunt, who, on trying it in the detector, broke it in two. Upon being asked his address, he said he was " a very respect able man," and was not aware it was bad, but a customer having seen him drop something on the seat behind him, wrapped in paper, and it being found that it was a bad half-crown, a constable was sent for and he was given in charge. Henry 'White, the person alluded to by the last witness, said that while the conversation was taking place concern ing the counterfeit shilling, he saw the prisoner quietly drop something from behind him on to the seat, and in picking it up found that it was a counterfeit halfcrown, wrapped in paper, evidently with the view that it might be dropped without making a noise; and on taxing him with it, he denied all knowledge of it, but at the same time tried to obtain possession of it, saying that he (witness) was " a very wicked person for insinuating that he had dropped it, when he was a very respectable person." Sergeant Harrill said he found on the prisoner a bad fourpenny piece amongst some good money, and that the prisoner had given a false address. The prisoner declined giving his correct address, as it would be annoying to his friends ; it being the first time he had had any bad money. He was then remanded. It was stated that a great deal of bad money has lately been tendered to licensed victuallers. THAMES. ROBBERY AND ABDUCTION OF A FEMALE.—EXTRA ORDINARY CASE.—John Kirkham, a big and dirty-looking fellow, who said he was 39 years, but is in appearance many years older, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a feather bed, a bolster, and a basket of clothes, the property of a carpenter, named Francis, of No. 2, Green field-street, Bromley, Middlesex. Ann Francis, wife of the prosecutor, Raid the prisoner's wife was related to her. She-had allowed her daughter to go backwards and forwards to the prisoner's house, to assist him and his wife in their domestic arrangements. She was sorry to say that the prisoner bad taken advantage of her daughter, and promised to make a lady of her and take her to Australia. On the 12th of July last, while she was absent from home, the prisoner came to her house with a horse and cart and took away a feather bed, a bolster, and a basket of clothes, and also took away her daughter at the same time. She saw the prisoner again yesterday for the first time since the robbery, and said to him, " You scoundrel, give me my daughter I where is she ?" He said she was at Plymouth. She asked where her things were, and he said they were also at Plymouth. She then gave him into custody. In answer to Mr. Yardley the witness said that the pri soner had boasted to a great many persons that he had se duced her daughter eight months before ho took her away. The prisoner here said that 18 months ago the daughter of the prosecutrix used to take money for him at his veget able stand. The prosecutrix—Yes, that is true. I trusted him as a father. The prisoner—Did you not know the goods I took were bought with my money ? The prosecutrix did not answer the question. Mr. Yardley—Who bought the things ? Mrs. Francis—My husband did. I had the bed for 12 years. The Prisoner—She gave the bed to her daughter. Mrs. Francis—l did not. I said I would give her a good bed to lie upon when she got married to the prisoner, whose wife is living Mr. Yardley—How old is your daughter, Mrs. Francis ? Mrs. Francis—Just turned sixteen, sir. Mr. Yardley—She has a very queer taste. How old i■ the prisoner ? Mrs. Francis—He says ho is 39. His wife says he is much older. Elizabeth Baker, No. 1, Greenfield-street, said she was present when Fanny Francis, the daughter of the last wit ness, absconded with the prisoner, and took the bed, bolster, and clothes away. The prisoner, in defence, said he loft the girl Fanny at John Jeffrey's, No. 47, High-street, Plynputh, taking care of a shop. The bed and bolster were alai) there. Ho had been connected with the girl more than 10 months. Mr. Yardley—More shame for you. You are a very wickod man. You are committed for trial•. 71115 DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was but scantily supplied with English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, and the general qual ty of the samples was very middling. Nearly all kinds were in moderate request, and Monday's prices were supported. Thu chow of forcisia wheat was tolerably good. flood and useful parcels moved off steadily, at full quotations, but other kinds ruled inactive, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain supported previous rates, but the business done in them was by no means extensive. The few fine samples on offer found buyers, at very ful: prices, but other descriptions wore a dull inquiry. There was a fair demand for malt, on former terms. The show of oats being large, tho oat trade was heavy, and prices were a shade lower. Beans and peas were a dull inquiry, but flour was firm in price. ARRIVALS THIS WIZEI: Wheat. Barley Malt.

Giustinian, Cou t Prospero Antonini, and the Advocate Giova i Bondillo, presented the following address, in t e name of the deputation of the Venetian emigrati , to the deputation from Modena and Parma : " Illustrious Legates,—ln this day of jubilee r Italy, amidst the plaudits of this capital, that Oa tertams and honours in you the illustrious legates of the people of Modena and Parma, of whose votes for the union to Piedmont you are the bearers, we, Venetians, the sons of a land yet in chains and in tears, hesitated whether we ought to appear before you to disturb the serenity of your smiles and the content of your hearts. But if our presence recall sail thoughts to your mind, we hope our words will dissipate them and restore your satisfaction. You, liberated, seeking only to make one this unhappy Italy, divided for centuries, unite your rich and strong province to the sub-Alpine kingdom, which, by the wisdom of its Parliament, the valour of its soldiers, headed by our heroic King, with his courageous policy, his sacrifices and constancy in the just and magnani mous aim of rendering Italy independent, has ac quired the first place, and now obtains so brilliant a reward for its great services. " You have been permitted to vote freely, but scarcely had your votes and those of Tuscany de creed the deposition of -the archdukes and the an nexation of the States to Piedmont, when it became manifest to Italy that Austria did not hold herself obliged to accord the liberal concessions promised to Venice in the preliminaries of the peace of Villafranca unless the Archdukes were recalled to their throne. " Do you know, illustrious legates, the reply of Venice to this offer of concession, designed to re place Central Italy under the yoke of the Arch dukes vassals of Austria ? It is this : Venice comprehends the promises and the concessions of Austria. She neither asks nor desires them, and now indignantly repels them if presented as com pensation for loss of the liberty and independence of Central Italy.' What Venice wills, was revealed by the punishments of Mantua, the prisons of Josephstadt, her numerous sons who fought at Palestro, and at golferino not a few of whom there laid down their lives. What she wills, is told by the desert state of her country deprived of its remaining youth, who, after the preliminaries of Vitlafranca hastened to Central Italy to arm and combat for the national cause. Venice wills her independence and the nation with Piedmont voted in 1848. She will continue to strive and to suffer, but pain and tortures do not break her spirit, sustained by the certainty that soon will strike the last hour of Austrian dominion in Italy. And this certainty is given by you, it is given by the people of Tuscany and Romagna, who, forgetting their ancient and fatal divisions, will augment and strengthen that kingdom which derives its origin and purpose from the independ ence of Italy, and cannot but hasten her entire deliverance from the foreigner. Thanks, then, to you in the name of the Venetians ; although aware that the hand of A ustria will weigh more heavily on their unfortunate land, they yet encourage you to persist in the course you have taken and thus to merit well of the common country. Viva Modena! Viva Parma! Viva l'Unione d'ltalia! " Turin, Sept. 16, 1859." The Venetian Deputation.—Count Giovanni Batt. Giustinian, of Venice ; Count Prospero An tonini, of Udine ; the Advocate Giovanni Bondillo, of Vicenza ; the Advocate Andrea Meneghini, of Padua ; Count Guglielmo d'Onigo, of Treviso ; Engineer Bernardo Bernardi, of Revigo ; Giuseppe; Advocate Marsing, of Bellano ; Professor Giuseppe Clcmenti, of Verona. Professor Selmi, speaking in the name of the deputation of Modena and Parma, replied : " The hard destiny that presses upon Venice is the grief of all Italy, especially of the people of Modena and Parma, who have borne for long years sufferings not dissimilar to those endured by the noble city of Saint Mark, the Austrian dominion being no less over us, maintaining in tyranny the archdukes and dukes. If we are now freed—if we confide in the King Victor Emmanuel, in the Emperor Napoleon, in civilised - Europe, that no violence shall oppose the recovery of our liberty, we cannot rejoice in its enjoyment when we think of the Venetians, with whom we are allied by ties of family, by origin, language misfortune, and hope. But God will not fail in his time to succour this poor Venice, and we will endeavour to be the instruments of Providence whenithe signal is given that the hour has come. The sacrifice of Venice, although tremendous, is not final ; for such nations as ours are not exhausted by spoliation nor by the scaffold. Although to deliver her from the cruel trials to which she has been exposed this year would have demanded from us the highest abnega tion, we should have been ready to submit, or rather should have proposed it ; but as you remark, as all know, relief would not thus have been as sured to the sufferers, but an injury inflicted on the common cause. May our brothers of Venice, whom we embrace with sadness, persevere with the in vincible pertinacity of martyrs, to sustain the tor tures and repulse the blandishments of their op pressors ; meanwhile we arm and prepare, confiding, not rashly bold in our present position, but with no fear of the measures of the enemy. The Venetians await the future. Soon, we hope, will arise the day when together we shall call ourselves the citizens of one state, the subjects of one monarch." THIS DAYS SHIPPING.

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.--ALDBOROUGH, SUFFOLK, SEPT. 21.—A few days ago, when it was blowing on this coast a gale from the N.E., with a tremendous sea running, several foreign vessels were seen in our offing with flags for pilots. No pilot, however, would venture out through the broken water in their own craft. Under these circum stances it was decided to attempt to launch the lifeboat of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution on this station. It was successfully accomplished, and gallantly did she pro ceed with the pilots to the assistance of the vessels referred to, and afterwards safely piloted them. On Saturday last a foreign brig went to pieces off Dunwich, about nine miles from Aldborough, when one poor fellow was unfortunately lost. It is more than probable that if a lifeboat had been mar the spot the vessel and the man's life might have been saved. The Aldborough and Thorpeness lifeboat stations are as complete and efficient as any which belong to the National Lifeboat Institution. This philanthropic society has lifeboats on the east coast at the follo wing places : Cromer, Mandesley, . Becton, Palling, Winterton, Caistor, Yarmouth, two boats ; Lowestoft, Takefield, Southwold, Thorpeness, and Ald borough. PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN FOR GOVERNMENT INSTI TUTIONS.—To enable the public to derive full advantage from the photographic negatives made, officially, for the Science and Art Department, from rare and va l ua bl e ob jects in public and other collections, British and foreign, the Committee of Council on Education has caused an o ffi ce for the sale of photographic impressions from such negatives to be established at the South Kensington Museum, which will be opened on the 3d October. Photographic negatives made by order of the trustees of the British Museum, and for the War and other Government offices, will also be sold. The tariff for unmounted impressions will be as follows : A single impression the dimensions of which contain less than 40 square inches--e.g., 5 inches by 7, or 4 inches by 8, sd. Above 40 square inches, 20 should be added for every 20 square inches or under. A detailed list of the ob jects photographed is printed, price 2d. The department does not charge itself with the mounting of impressions, as the public is able to do this for itself. A RELIC.—Some men while engaged dredging in the Mersey on Tuesday fished up an old 28-pounder, which is supposed to have belonged to the man-of-war brig Pelican, which upwards of 90 years ago capsized in the Mersey.

Among the recent " Selections from the Records of the Government of India" is a remarkably inte resting series of papers en the Andamans. In obe dience to instructions from the Court of Directors, the Indian Government appointed a committee on the 20th Nov:, 1857, to examine the above-named group of islands, " with a view to the selection of a site for the establishment of a penal 'settlement." The Commissioners were Dr. ,Mouat,lnspector of Jails, Dr. Playfair, and Lieut. Heathyte, I.N. ' and the result proved that better m e n eqnld not have been selected for the purpose. Thougli "placed in the track of one of the greatest coniMercial high ways of the world ; " these islands havei - Oly been known as the fabled haunts of cannibals, and as a statio male lido carinis. Itnow appears that there is every reason to luestion the man-eating propen sities of the poor savages, though there is no doubt as to their having massacred "all shipwreitked ma riners who fell into their hands, and,perhaps, burnt their bodies. A party of islanders was, indeed, once seen gathered about a fire, over which 'a Minim' body was being consumed, but it was already too much chaired to be fit . for food. The inhabitants are actually dwarf negroes, though how they came there cannot be ascertained, and few of them exceed five feet in stature. For the most part they - are a sturdy and well-built race, and ready to do battle against all comers. It has been suggested, and with much probability, that their ilitreme ferocity towards strangers arises rather from desperation than from natural barbarism,' as the Burmese and others have frequently been in the habit of landing on the islands ar:id Carving off the wretched savages into captivity. The ',natives are too ignorant to dis tinguish between different nations, and thus regard all foreigners as their sworn foes. They are, more over, an indolent and improvident people. They know nothing of agriculture, and live chiefly on shell-fish. Sometimes they secure a few fish by shooting them with a bow and' arrows, but they seem to have no idea of catching them with. a hook and line. Nets, however, are oc casionally used, and in stormy weather they have recourse to rats and wild pigs, the only animals found 'in the islands. Even birds are rare, owing to the scarcity of fresh water, though it may be found at a very short depth below the surface. There is no trace of agricultural operations, and the primeval forest remains in a state of nature. "Their huts," we are told, "are rude and open on all - sides. In general they consist of four posts, the two ante rior being much higher than the two posterior ones, which are close to the ground. The former varied from three or four to about ten feet in height. The thatch generally consisted of a few _palm leaves lightly bound together and overlappin g each other. In every village there were one or two huts of larger dimensions, some 12 or 14 feet square, with well-thatched roofs plaited on a rattan frame. One quadrangular hut was seen, supported on corner posts, with the eaves of the thatdli within a foot and a-half of the ground. Most Ofihe others were quite open in front and at the sides, the rear being protected by the thatch reaching nearly to the ground." These huts are often decorated with skulls of pigs, tortoises, and fish. But neither men nor women were half so much adorned. With the ex ception of a coating of red clay daubed on the top of the head and the anterior part of the chest they were entirely naked, even to every hair being shaved off. To such a degree do they carry their horror of hirsute appendages, that a deserter, hav ing fallen into their hands, had his head shaven with a piece of bottle glass, but was otherwise well treated. Their only weapons are bows and arrows, the latter barbed with iron, and going straight to a mark at 40 yards' distance, but in no instance has poison been discovered.' Their canoes are laboriously excavated by means of a small adze with a wooden head, in which is fixed a semicircular blade of iron beaten out. The nautilus-shell serves these simple islanders as a drinking-cup, and all their household implements are of the most primitive kind. The only vegetable food found in their huts was the fruit of the mangrove, a large 'leguminous bean sliced in shreds and soaked in fresh water in a small closely-woven net, and wild spinach. As to their numbers, nothing could be ascertained, but in all likelihood they do not exceed a few hun dreds. It is painful to think that utter extermina tion almost certainly awaits these wretched bar barians. Off Interview Island one was captured by the expedition and taken to Calcutta, but as ho almost immediately sickened he was sent back with an ample supply of carpenters'tools, knives, cotton cloth, thread, cords, axes, metal, pots and pans, beads, looking-glasses, and objects of savage finery. It is not stated, however, if anything has since been heard of this messenger of peace, or even if he sur vived to reach his native shores. At present a penal settlement has been established at Port Blair, in South Andaman, and, according to Dr. Walker, with every prospect of success. It must be acknow ledged, however, that that g en tl eman appears to entertain peculiar notions on the subject of convict treatment. his " unequalled experience of the management of Hindostani prisoners," as he him self modestly says, encouraged him to undertake to provide for 10,000 convicts per annum for at least five consecutive years. But a little further on our wonder is abated by the significant - statement that out of '773 convicted landed between the 10th of March and the 12th of June, 1858, there remained in custody on the 16th June no more than 481. Of the others, 64 died in hospital, 140 effected their escape, 1 committed suicide, and 87 were executed. We observe, however, that the Calcutta papers re ceived by the last mail report Dr. Walker's 'resig nation"—the Government having failed to appre ciate his " unequalled experience. —Allen's Indian MISS MARTINEAU ON SWIMMING FOR LADIES.— We have proposed every child—and not only every boy. —a s a swimming pupil, because the main reasons for anybody' s being able to swim are good for everybody. English women have four limbs, and live in an island, and make voyages, and practise sea -bathing, and need exercise in the water at school and at home, and go out in boats—i n short, run the universal risks in regard to water ; and, therefore, they have a claim to be taught to swim. At the time when the great school was kept away from the river because a boy had been drowned, a sensible and wealthy Quaker gentle man built a bathipg-house for his young daughters on a mere in his grounds, which was sufficiently fenced with reeds to secure privacy; and the girls learned to swim. In the sea they could all go through the exercises as South Sea women do. Their fir mes were improved • their health was improved ; their safety was Improved ; and there was not a shadow of an objection to be set off on the other side.— Once a- Week. The following letter, wr itt e n by the Emperor when Prin ce Nap o leon, was published by the National in December, 1835, and is now repr oduced b y some j o urnals as not without interest :—" Arenemberg, December 11, 1835. —Several journals have stated that I am about to leave for Portugal as a pretender to the hand of Queen Donna Maria. widow of a However flattering for m e may be the supposition of a union contradict such witha cousin a rumour, since no step known to me can ha ve g i ven r i se whoyou n 5 ,a , sbedacuatriftuol,mane.dit viisrtmuyousdutygat o enz to it. I must even add that, notwithstanding the lively interest which is felt in the destinies of a people who have just acquired their liberties, I should refuse the honour of o ar i n g the throne of Portugal, if by chance some persons should cast their eyes on me for it. The noble conduct of m y father, who abdicated in 1810 because he could not re concile the interests of France with those of Holland, has not been forgotten by me. My father, by his just example, has proved to me how much one's own country is preferable to a foreign throne. I feel, in fact, that accustomed from my infancy to love ray country above all things, I eat pre fer nothing to Fren c h i n t eres t s . Persuaded thitithe great name I bear will not always be a ground of excltisioniin the eyes of my fellow-countrymen, since it reminds then} of 15 years of glory, I await with calm, in a hospitable and' free country, that the peogle will recall among them those who were exiled in 1815 by 1,200,000 foreigners. This hope of one day serving France as a citizen and a soldier fortifies my heart, and is worth in my eyes all the thrones of the world. —Accept, &c., NAPOLEON LOUIS BONAPARTE."
