1110NEY 1114 , Two o'CLocK. The Marketsfor Foreign ClTY and Colonial Produce during the last few days have shown rather less activ ity ; most of the principal staples, however, have fully supported previous values. Th ere h as been a steady inquiry for tea at full prices. Sugars met a fair demand, but in some instances at slightly reduced rates. For coffee there has been a steady inquiry, and at the first public sale of plantation Ceylon since the Christmas holidaYs full prices were ob tained. The dealings in rice, fruit, and spices have been moderately active, at late values. Saltpetre has bee n d ealt in to a moderate extent, and although large arrivals have taken place, prices have been steadily maintained. In the tallow market there has been very little activity, although yesterday more firmness prevailed, and prices were a shade higher. Although the bullion operations at the Bank have been unimportant during the last few d ays, a considerable quantity of gold has been purchased for the continent, including the remittances by the Anglesey, L ew Chew, and the Tyne. As the export wand continues active further withdrawals from the Bank of England may soon be reported, unless fresh Australian supplies are quickly received. By the advices which arrived yesterday, however, it appears that a considerable quantity is coming for ward from Victoria, comprising £120,000 by the Water Nymph, £60,000 by the, Sussex, £128,000 by the Donald M'Kay, and £58,000 by the Com modore Perry. rather rge amount of business was transacted, and prices were well supported. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed The y, and quotations were -1, per cent. l ower . The directors of the Great Indian Peninsula Rail way have issued their annual report, from which it appears that the receipts during 4:148 p the year am ounte d ,496 12s. 5d., and the expenditure to 83 1:65,491 55., leaving an available balance of £,005 is. 5d- A call of £2 per share, or £lB,OOO is due to-day O n the Delia and San Francisco Railway shares. There is very little alteration to notice in the , r earket f or English Securities, the transactions k hsbeing limit e d, an d the quotations tolerably steady. h advices f rom the Continent have created less buoyan cy, but the actual movement in price only amounts i per cent. Consols have been 95f for the 10 th, and 95& I for February. The market Nf,PPears exceedingly quiet.

IN RE PEARCY. 44i 3} 86 76 7i 1021 2 Mr. Bingham said he certainly should not do so. He should commit them for trial. The depositions having been read over by the clerk and the witnesses bound over, the prisoners were committed for trial. THAMES. STEALING BRANDY ON BOARD SHIP. —John Ivory and John Regan, two athletic Irish labourers, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stezling two bottles of brandy, and being helplessly drunk on board the ship Admiral Lyons, in the East India Import Dock. Captain Acock, the master of the Admiral Lyons, said he was taking in cargo, and the prisoners and others had 'been engaged in stowing it. Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, he went on board, and found the prisoners very drunk and ri)tous. Directly afterwards be discovered that a case of brandy had been broken open and plundered. He missed two quart bottles of brandy from the case. The pri soners were the only two men in the hold, where the cases of brandy were stowed. Captain Acock added that these robberies were of very frequent occurrence on board ship, and the crews of vessels too often got blamed innocently. Ivory, in defence, said that he drank nothing but two pints of porter yesterday. Mr. Selfe—Nonsense. You were so drunk yesterday that you could not be brought here. Rogan made a similar defence—it was the porter he drank got the better of him upon an empty stomach. Mr. Selfe—You were also helplessly drunk yesterday, and could not be brought hero. The prisoners said they walked quietly to the station house at Poplar from the dock, but this was contradicted by Burgess, a dock constable, who said a cart was hired to convey the prisoners from the dock to the station-house, and the expense was borne by the Dock Company. The prisoners insisted they walked to the station-house. Mr. Selfe—How could you walk unless the bottom of the cart was out ? There is a story of an Irishman who was put into a sedan-chair with the bottom out. " Ah," said the Irishman, " I might as well have walked and saved the expense as be put into this thing." (Laughter.) Capt. Acock said that a portion of one of the brandy bottles was found upon 1 very, and that b o th prisoners vomited a quantity of pure brandy from their stomachs in the station house. Mr. Selfe—They took too much. Captain Acsck—lndeed they did—a bottle of brandy each before nine o'clock in the morning. Mr. Selfe said this description of offeneo was very much on the increase. No property was safe on board ships while cargo was being stored or delivered in outward and homeward bound ships. He sentenced the prisoners to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Cor rection for one calendar month. LORD BROUGIIAM ON DR. ANDERSON'S DIS COURSES.—A gentleman residing. in Cilasgow, who had for warded to Lord Brougham a copy of Dr. Anderson's re cently published volume of Discourses, has received a letter a letter from his lordship dated Cannes, Dec. 31, 1859, in which he says :—" The Discourses of Dr. Anderson appear to be excellent and useful—Lord B. having been able to read the one mentioned in Mr. L•'s note—the tenth—P Un charitable Judgments Judged') —and it is worthy of all acceptation." • WAR IN MOROCCO.—An affair, in which figures Colonel Count de Castella, brother-in-law of the Infante Don Henry, is exciting much interest. This noldeman was placed in command 'of a regiment of the. army of Africa ; but at the very beginning of the campaign he criticised, in violent terms, and even before his inferiors, all the opera tions of th e genera l i n chief. This was a very grave fault, but he committed a still more serious one in not being at the head of his regiment in the combat of the 9th. For this last negligence Marshal O'Donnell reprimanded him very severely, and he answered haughtily. The result wsa that he either demanded his dismissal or was dismissed; and O'Donnell, in the order of dismissal, recorded—a Pain ful thing for a soldier —that he had not been with his regi ment in action. On arriving at Seville the count made use of such imprudent language that the civil governor had him arrested and sent to Cadiz. The captain general of the latter place had him confined in the fortress of St. Cat he rine, and the Supreme Naval and Military Tribunal of Madrid has decided that ho shall be tried by court-martial. SKULLS FROM WROXETER.—In the corner of an orchard abutting upon the Watling -street road, in the vil lage of Wroxeter, but within the old line of walls, upwards of 20 human skeletons were a short time since exhumed, several of the skulls of which presented extraordinary ap pearances. Their facial bones are, in fact, all askew, the eye-sockets of one side of the face being in advance of those of the other side. Such t errible-looking creatures as these real original " Angles" w ere certainly enough to frighten the city into subjection. An examination of these skulls, however, and a knowledge of the conditions under which they were found, would lead to the conviction that Mother Earth has to answer for this distortion. When exhumed they were in the condition of wet biscuit, in consequence of the state of the ground, which is full of springs. It can easily, therefore, be imagined that the weight of the superincumbent earth, acting through so many centuries, had pressed those skulls that had fallen sideways thus out of their usual shape. There is in the British Museum a skull of a Saxon warrior, disinterred not long since in Cambridgeshire, with his Saxon ornaments about him, which presents s i m il ar distortions with respect to the orbits and the extraordinary elongation of the head which these Wroxeter skulls do. Judging from this fact alone I am inclined to think that these poor people of the orchard have been shamefully maligned as to their per sonal appearance,—Once a Inek. This bankrupt was described as of Farnham, bricklayer and builder, and came up for his certificate. The accounts, by Mr. March, Basinghall-streot, were satisfactory, but the assots will not yield a dividend. Tho losses were occa sioned through speculating on a small style on a deficiency. There was no opposition, and an immediate certificate of the first-class was granted. IN Ilk W. It. WRIGHT. This bankrupt was described as of Bucklersbury and Stratford, auctioneer and broker, and carne up for his cer tificate. There was a strong opposition on various grounds. The bankrupt, it may be remembered, was a director of the General Indemnity Assurance Company, and sold shares which rendered him liable to upwards of £lO,OOO. The accounts, by Mr. March, gives little promise of a dividend, as the affairs of the company are in Chancery, and it is questionable whether the estate will be benefited, by which bankrupt was to receive a salary as managing director in the country. The case was proceeding. IN RE mEsicAnD. Mr. Dorie applied in the case of this bankrupt, who was described as of Park-street, Grosvenor-square, cutler, for an allowance, the consideratidn of which had been ad journed tor the realisation of assets. The accounts, by Mr. March, bad been verified by the receipts of good debts, &c., and an allowance was granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE -(THIS D. 417.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. ROBBERY ♦ND RECEIVING DIES AND IMPRESSIONS.— Benjamin Roberts, a workman in the employ of Mr. Joseph Shepherd Wyon, seal engraver to her Majesty, of 287, Regent-street, and Langham-chambers, Laugh= -place, was charged with stealing two dies and ten wax impres sions, the property of his employer; and Emmanuel Wolf, of 6, Union-street, Oxford-street, a die sinker and engraver, was charged with receiving the same, well knowing them to be stolen. Mr. Edmund Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prosecution; and Mr. Lewis, jun., for Wolf. Lambert, 68 E, said that at one o'clock yesterday ho went to Laugham-chambers and saw Roberts leave the premises. He followed him to 6, Union-street, Oxford-street, and saw him enter the shop of the prisoner Wolf, a die-sinker, having at the time two small parcels in his hand. He then informed Mr. Wyon what he had seen, and went at six to Langham-chambers, and there saw Roberts at work at a lathe. He told him he was a police-officer, and that he was charged with stealing two dies, the property of his master, and selling them to Wolf. He denied doing anything of the sort. He then asked what he bad in his hand in the morning, and he replied, " Two dies he had to polish for Mr. Wolf, but they were not his master's property." Ho then asked if he was allowed to polish dies for other people, and he said, " No." Me then took him into custody. Inspector Pothers, of the E division, said yesterday even ing he went to the shop of Wolf, and asked if he had made a pair of dies for any ono lately, and he said he had for a gentleman who had fetched them away that day. He said he had bought the dies of a man named Roberts, and on asking what he paid for them, he said he had not paid for them yet. He said he should charge him with receiving the dies well knowing them to be stolen, and took him into custody. He then searched the shop, and found several impressions, which were identified as the property of the prosecutor. He said he had bought the impressions of Roberts at different times. By Mr. Lewis, jun.—lt was a friend of the proseeutor's who ordered the dies for the purpose of detecting the parties. Mr. Lewis, jun., said it was a very objectionable plan. Mr. Bingham said he thought it was a very proper plan. Charles Pitt, in the employ of Mr. Revell, button manu facturer, of St. Martin's-lane, proved going to Wolf's shop on Thursday last, and ordering a pair of dies with the im pression of a stag's-head. He went yesterday for them and they were not at first ready, Wolf telling him that a man at Wyon's bad them to polish. On going again at a later hour he got the dies and the patterns, and paid for them 155., and got a receipt signed by Wolf. Mr. Wyon said that Wolf was in his father's employ three and a half years ago, and Roberts up to yesterday. He placed some dies on a shelf near the furnace on the 24th of December, and yesterday missed two of them. The pri soner Roberts had access to the place. The impressions produced were his property. By Mr. Lewis, jun.—Wolf was taken into custody by my orders. Had marked the iron, and could positively state they wore his property. Believed Roberts polished the dies on his premises. It was possible the dies from which the impressions were made were made while Wolf was in his father's employ. Would not positively swear the wax im pressions wore his, but believed they were; but it was pos sible they were taken from a mould. Mr. Lewis, jun., addressed the magistrate at some length in Wolf's favour, and prayed that he would discharge him. stool Share Docks. 7 Stock l Commercial . 100 .- Stock ,Do 4 pprCent.Pref .311 n 1 1 0 0 ...

Thormanby was in some force for the Derby, his principal supporter backing him at the odds quoted for £2OO.

" H. J. Roo's, Vice-Admiral." The bets go to Maypole. The subjoined notice was posted at the Victoria Club, City :—. " THE PEGGOTTY'S DAM FILLY.--Our attention has been directed to the fact of this filly (who was disqualified after winning the Mark's Hall Stakes at Chelmsford, in consequence of being incorrectly described as by Connaught Ranger, out of Peggotty's dam, instead of dam by Venison, out of Peggotty's dam) runnig also in a wrong pedigree in a Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, won by Fontarabia, and a 50 sovs plate, won by Brine, at the Nowarket Jaly Meet ing; also in a Sweepstakes of 10 soya each, won by Po mona; and in a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, won by Little Nat, at the First October Meeting; consequently all bets about her on each of those races are void. " All money to be returned." BALL AT ST. LUKE'S BOSPITAL. On Wednesday evening the annual Christmas ball of the patients in this noble charity took place in one of the large wings of the building, and, as usual, passed off with the most marked success and spirit. The ball-room bad been entirely decorated by the patients, who, of course, evinced the most lively interest in all relating to the festivity. Their efforts in this respect displayed a skill and good taste which showed at once that no matter how much the darkness of mental disease had benumbed their other powers, it at least had left their per ceptions of what was simple and beautiful alive in all their force. Wreaths of evergreens and little party-coloured flags were disposed about the room, the roof of which was covered at all points with festoons of coloured paper garlands, made with great skill, and adjusted with considerable effect At one side of the room was a large Christmas tree, the vegetable characteristics of which were almost en tirely concealed under a crowd of ornaments of all kinds—dressed dolls, bead mats, purses, and other trifles, all made by the patients themselves, and disposed to show them to the best advantage with the utmost care and delicacy. The whole aspect of the room was festive in the extreme, and the touching innocence and childishness with which all the patients entered into the dances, little amusements, and games of the evening was almost affecting, though gratifying, as show ing the perfect abandon of delight with which they enjoyed their evening. The contrast which such a scene almost irresistibly presented to the mind's eye, as between the treatment of the insane now and what it was a few years ago, was most marked and striking. The days of strait-waist coats, darkness, bread and water, and floggings have passed away for ever, and in their stead has sprung up a system which gives such contentment to the patients as secures them quiet if not happi ness, and which almost infallibly leads on to cure. It would sound strange indeed to the supporters of the old-school theory of treatment to be told that in an hospital as large as St. Lul:e's not a single strait-waistcoat is to be found, nor has there been one in the building for years and years past. The most perfect gentleness, light air, amusements, I freedoms, f rom exc it ement, and nutritious diet raise the cures at St. Luke's to no less than CBl per cent. per annum, or actually more than two out of every three patients admitted. Under the old system, of which Hogarth has left us such a fearful picture, the recoveries from this most awful of all maladies were scarcely more than two or three per cent. Unfortunately, the benefits which this magni ficent charity affords are comparatively but little known. With the majority of the public it passes for a mere madhouse, where luna tics a re con fi ned, when in fact it is an hospital, like Bedlam, established for the cure of insanity, and more especially for the reception of members of the middle class—profes sional men and others, whose families, being de prived of their chief support, are unable to bear the heavy expense required for maintenance in a private asylum ; yet notwithstanding these boons, the num ber of in-patients at the hospital has been steadily decreasing, from upwards of 200 in 1854 till the past year, when the admissions were scarcely above 100 in all. Nothing could be more gratifying than this decrease, if it arose from any diminution in the number of persons smitten with this fearful visita tion. The reverse, however, is the case, the returns of the Commissioners in Lunacy showing an increase in the spread of the disease, which is alarming in the highest degree, and which the faculty in vain invent theories to account for. In fact, private and expensive asylums are overcrowded--overcrowded to an extent which prevents any individuality of , treatment—while a free hospital which effects the largest amount of cures is left empty, and absorb ing its income in keeping up a proper and efficient staff for the relief of patients who do not come. Such an anomaly can only be accounted for by the fact that the inestimable benefits offered to the af flicted at St. Luke's Hospital are not known, and that, as we have said, with the public it is only supposed to be a mere prison for the confinement of the insane. So far is confinement from being prac tised, that in fact both male and female patients go beyond the precincts of the hospital almost daily for walking exercise, and many of the least afflicted have been trusted out on parole, without any untoward result, while nearly all have visited by turns the Crystal Palace, Zoological Gardens, British and Indian Museums, and other exhibitions. In addition to this, and in accordance with the re commendation of the Commissioners in Lunacy, the whole interior of the hospital has been re-arranged in such a manner as to give it the lightest and most cheerful aspect. Of course, such alterations and improvements have not been effected without great expense, which, together with the reduction of income, has compelled the charity to resort to the unfortunate expedient of selling out large sums from its funded stock, by which, of course, the in come of the charity has been reduced still more. To supply this deficiency of receipts a new class of hospital patients have been established, whose friends contribute towards their maintenance. These latter patients have nearly all been grouped as nearly as possible in accordance with their social positions, though nothing approaching to a differ ence of grade is recognised. The reception of this class of patients has universally been hailed as a great progress towards the amelioration of the con dition of the insane of the middle classes. Several gentlemen interested in the welfare and progress of the society were present, and contri buted by their vocal and instrumental performances to the amusements of the evening. We need scarcely say that the utmost good order and strict decorum marked the conduct of the patients, who only testi fied by a little unusual exuberance of spirits now and then at some favourite tune or song the pre sence of the dreadful malady which in the prime of life and strength had stricken down their intellect to a more than second infancy. The eager joy, too, with which they received the presents on the Christ mas tree and partook of the cakes, &c., provided for their refreshment was not the least gratifying, though touching, part of the evening's proceedings. Similar balls take place at the hospital once a fort night, though, as a matter of course, the new year's ball of Wednesday night is always the event of the year. Such an entertainment, so peculiar in itself, requires to be seen to fully understand the many comforts and amusements which the most awful of all diseases still leaves within the enjoyment of the patients at St. Luke's.

DISABILITIES OF AMERICAN PERSOAS OF COLOUR. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. Sin,—l beg to forward to you a correspondence which has recently taken place between Miss S. P. Remond, a free-born American lady of colour with whom I have the honour to be acquainted, and Mr. Dallas, the American Minister in this country. I add a copy of her passport. You will observe that a visa to Miss Remond's passport is refused by the American Minister on the sole ground that she is a person of colour.--I am, &c., London, Dec. 29. A BARRISTER. 6, Grenville-street, Brunswick-square, W.C., Dec. 12, 1859. beg to inform you that a short time since I went to the office of the American Embassy to have my passpoli vised for France. I should remark that my passport is an American one, granted to me in the United States, and signed by the minister in due form. It states what is the fact, that lam a citizen of the United States. I was born in Massa chusetts. Upon my asking to have my passport visaed at the Ameri can Embassy, the person in the office refused to affix the visa, on the ground that I am a person of colour. Being a citizen of the United States, I respectfully demand as my right that my passport be visaed by the minister of my country. As I ancdesirous of starting for the continent, I must request an answer at your earliest convouience.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, SARAIL The Hon. --. Dalla s , American Minister, P. REMOND , 24, Portland-place. Legation of the United States, London, Dec. 14, 1859. Miss Sarah P. Remond. I am directed by the Minister to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 12th inst., and to say in reply, he must, of course, be sorry if auy of his countrywomen, irrespective of colour or extraction, should think him frivolously dis posed to withhold from them facilities in his power to grant for travelling on the continent of Europe, but when the in dispensable qualification for an American passport, that of " United States Citizenship," does not exist; when, in deed, it is manifestly an impossibility by law that it should exist, a just sense of his official obligations under certain instructions received from his Government as long as the Bth July, 1856, and since then strictly conformed to, con strains him to say that the demand of Miss Sarah P. Re mond cannot be complied with.—Respeefully your obe dient servant, 1313.N.T. Monix, Assistant-Secretary of Legation. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterdays date. Tho purport of your communication is most extraordinary. You now lay down the rule that persons free-born in the United States, and who have been subjected all their lives to the taxation and other burdens imposed upon American citizens, are to be deprived of their rights as such, merely *cause their complexions happen to be dark, and that they are t) be refused tho aid of the ministers of their country, whose salaries they contribute to pay.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, SARAH P. REIIOND. PASSPORT.—I, the und ers i gne d S ecretary of State of the United States of America, hereby request all whom it may concern, to permit safely and freely to pass Sarah P. Re mond, a citizen of the United States, and in case of need to give her all lawful aid and protection.
