NONEY MA 3 - TY NEWS. 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 coins° 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 is. to 2s. per cwt. For saltpetre there has been rather an active inquiry, late quotations being fully supported. 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 565. 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, bat 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 11d. to 2d. per lb., and Port Philip 24d. to 3d. lower. There was a very small quantity of Cape wools in the sale, and prices experienced a corresponding 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 About £64,000 in bar gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday.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 bien cleared in Cachar previously to sowing. The crop of 1858 amounted to 770,4321b5., and that of the current year was estimated at 845,0001b5. The whole of the produce of 1857 realised in Eng land £57,539 12s. sd. net, or ls. 82d. per lb., after deducting all expenses ; and the portion sold ju India had produced £1,383 Bs. The Price of the crop of 1857 had not re alised the estimate of the directors by 11 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, ALP., 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 app ears th at H . M . ' s steamer Caradoc, which left Alexandria, April 28, with Lord Elgin on , ua nri, conveyed th e B om b ay ma i l of Aprill 11 to M arseilles. She arrived there yesterday, and the tics 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 t heir arrival at that place. The market for English Securities continues very inactive, as the liquidation of the account is still in prog ress . At p resen t th e re is very little incl ination to enter into speculative transactions, as credit has severely suffered from the recent failures. On the whole, however, the market is tole ra b ly steady, owing to the scarcity of stock and the dem and for it on behalf of the investing public.

(BQfore the Master of the Bolls.) MOTION BY ORDER-BISHOP V. CLARK. His Honour the Master of the Rolls prdered 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 Is. 6d., on August 13, 1858, and aftewards advanced money to him at 10 per cent. 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 paid him for his trouble in the business. His Honour said he would consider the evidence before giving judgment. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.) 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 BURKE-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•. meat was taken by consent. IN RE H. J. 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 for 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 usually paid to jobbing men ; and he accepted etch wages on condition of having constant employment, and the notice contingent upon such a situation. His Honour gave plaintiff a verdict. THE BETTING ACT AND STAKEHOLDERS.--BIGWOOD V. ERITEN. 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 ls. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TBIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. ANSWERING FOR BAD RELATlONS.—Elizabeth Moore, an intelligent-locking little girl about 16 years of age, 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. De 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 m 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. AN INCORRIGIBLE S T AU R C A Y M O E F S FENDER.--Mary Hillyer, a woman about 30 years of age, was brought before 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 shoots were, to which the witness replied, " I suppose they are on the bed." Tho 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 missiles, and deliberately smashed the win dows. She then sent for a police-constable and gave the prisoner into custody ; The sheet heprisoount of the room,er,inherdef and defence, thatsaid sheshe had given to had only taken one 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.

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 tranaacted 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. Beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly ARRIVALS THIS WREN Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

ED I r I ON Lambert, 68 E, said from information he received he went to Messrs. Sowerby and Tatton's, 2;2, Regent-street, and there saw the male prisoner, and told him he was suspected 4f stealing silk and other articles b a large amount, and asked him where he resided. He mid 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 Pethars, 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 ho must search the place, and in a chest of drawers he found silk dresses, cloaks, and other property. Inspector Pethers 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. SUN OFFICE., Scz•cia o' AMERICA. BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETTIC TELEGRAPH. QUEENSTOWN, FRIDAY EVENING. The Vigo screw steamship, for New York, has just sailed from this port. Mr. Roberts said four of the dresses alone were worth £34—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 lodgings. Mr. Bingham said, in remanding the prisoners, that he should decline taking bail for either of them. TIM SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1859.

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. The 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, France, Prussia, Russia, and Spain, dated Julie 10, 1817 ; 7, a treaty between Lucca, Modena, Tuscany, Austria, and Sardinia, dated November 28, 1844 ; 8, a treaty between Austria and Modena, dated December 24, 1847 ; and 9, a treaty between Austria and Parma, dated February 17, 1848. By the treaty between Austria and Modena of 1847 the two Powers bind themselves to lend each other help and assistance in the event of "an attack from without," and the Emperor further promises 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, mutatis nustan dis, was concluded between Austria 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 possessed by the 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 rever sion of the d'ichy 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 sessed 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 contiagencies. The duchy of Lima was to revert to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, if it became vacant by the death of her Majesty the Infanta Ma r i a Louisa, or of her son Don Carlos, or supposing the Infanta to obtain another " establish ment." The Marches, with Camerino, &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 on which they are printed. THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE AT MALTON. —lt will be remembered that last December Mr. Jennings, of Burythorpe, was suddenly lost all trace of, after leaving a beerhouse in Malton, having, it is thought, at the time of his disappearance, much property upon him. The most strenuous exertions were made for many weeks by his rela tives to trace him, and eve n t ua ll y a reward of £so,increased by Government to £lOO, was offered for his discovery alive or dead. Much excitement has just been re-occasioned in Malton by the arrest of a man and a woman of doubtful character, lately residing at Norton. near Malton, 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 Malton. 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. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS.

Hence there is no ground for particular apprehension in any of these respects.

We have the light of recent expe r i ence t o a i d 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.
