CITY, Two o'CLocK. The variations in the different items of the balance-sheet of the Bank of England completed to the 30th May are not of an important character. The bullion, owing to the absence of arrivals from Australia, shows only a small addition, while the increase in the circulation has tended to reduce the reserve of notes. The diminished demand for money is shown in the decrease in the other secu rities. The other portions of the balance-sheet and the changes they present are shown in the annexed table : Active Circulation Increase ..

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday con tinued moderately active, and prices were without any important alteration. The sales were esti• mated at 8,000 bales. _ Money continues in moderate request, and during the last day or two rather more business has been reported. The attendance of both home and foreign dealers at the public sales of colonial wool, which ter minated yesterday evening, has been large, and the biddings for the finer qualities of Auatralian have been active. Prices opened at a decline of about ld. per lb. on the rates realised at the March sales, but a reaction subsequently took place, and towards the close same extensive purchases were made on foreign account. to The market for Public Securities continues quiet, ssttooi and the few transactions recorded have taken place stoo at previous rates, Consols being 944 to 95 for st V money and the 6th inst., and 95 t for July.

Mr. Hawkins—We say the case ought not to have gone to the jury at all; the question of privilege was one of law. and not of fact, and ought to have been decided by th, judge, and not left to the jury. The Lord Chief Baron said Mr. Hawkins had better put down in writing his grounds of appeal, and the Court would consult the other judges as to whether there should be any leave to appeal at all or not. POLICE INTELLIG E.N CE-( THIS DAY.) PARR CONSTABLES AT FAULT-ARBITRARY ARREST. —John Reeves and Margaret Reeves were charged before Mr. Beadon, with begging in the park, and the female was further charged with assaulting park-constables John Browning, 21, and Frederick Holmes, 53, in the execution of their duty. Browning said, that on the previous afternoon, about five, he saw the female beg of two ladies in the park. He told a brother constable to turn her out of the park, and then went to the male prisoner, who was walking some distance off, and told him to leave the park. The prisoner would not do so, became obstinate, and on his putting his hand on him to take him into custody, the female prisoner came up and knocked off his hat and tried to scratch his face. In answer to Mr. Beadon the constable said he was not taking the man into custody for begging, but was acting under orders he received. Mr. Beadon said he (the constable) had a perfect right to take the woman into custody if he saw her begging, but he could not turn a man out of the park because he was merely walking. That was not the law. He laid hold of the husband, who was doing nothing, and then the woman came up and assaulted him. He had no business to take the man at all. He had not seen him begging, and he had as much right there as any other of the public, and the law was as good for him as any body else. Had the woman alone been charged she would have been punished, but as it was he should discharge them. Railways. a) Atlantic &St Lawrence c Bom.,Baroda&.Cent Ind Gu. 5 psr cent.. [8 Do, Do.

M. Mackay and Co. (a London st branch of the eminent firm of James Baines and , Co. of Liverpool), are intended to sail hereafter regularly on the 10th of every month from the port of London to Sydney. The first ship of the line—the Stornoway—started about a month ago ; the second—the Cairngorm—is ad- st vertised for the 10th June ; and the Solway st will be the third of the line, which, if conducted on st the same liberal principles as the Liverpool to Mel- s s t t bourne " Black Ball" ships, cannot fail to command a large amount of support. The company was st numerous and commercially influential. After the st health of her Majesty had been duly honoured, st Mr. T. M. Mackay proposed " The United Services and the Volunteers. The toast having been drunk I i with three times three, Sir J. Heron Maxwell re turned thanks for the navy, Major Coates for the 0 , army, and Mr. S. K. Mackay and Mr. Whitehead, st( of the Inns of Court Rifles, for the volunteers. st( " The House of Commons" was acknowledged by Mr. 3. 0. Lever, M.P. The Chairman st' next proposed " Prosperity to the Australasian st, Colonies," associating with the toast the names of st. Mr. Wilson, proprietor of the Melbourne Argus, Mr. Ridgway, and Mr. Getty. Mr. Wilson re 1. - sponded, eulogising the Peninsular and Oriental gt Company for the regularity with which that com pany had carried the mails. " The Peninsular and st, Oriental Company," was proposed by the chairman, : I t ' and responded to by Mr. Anderson, managing direc tor, who said his company were determined every satisfaction should be given in conveying the mails , while they were entrustedto them. Sir J. H. Maxwell proposed the toast of the day, , coupling with it " The health of M r. Mackay.' Mr. Mackay, in returning thanks, said that though he had hitherto been associated with the Liverpool more than the London firm, his heart was with both, and he be lieved that hard work, attention, and punctuality would bring the first of Mackay and Co. a due portion of the southern business. He concluded by proposing " The Press." Messrs. Fisher and Robarts, of the Anchor Restaurant,oifnthCehe2adpsLidifee, provided the dejeuner, and the band Guards played appropriate music during the repast. Bedford and Bletchley Buckinghamshire ....

The Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, MX., presided, and there was I also present Lord Elcho, Earl Spencer, Lord West, Sir John Mildmay, Sir J. Burgoyne, Mr. G. Silk, and other gentlemen. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said he regretted that he had not :been able before to take any part in the deliberations of the Council of the National Rifle Association, and he need not say that he should have been happy to have done so, but for the amount of business which had pressed upon him. For all that no one had taken a warmer interest in the movement, or had watched its progress with greater satisfaction than he had, and he had seen with surprise not only the enormous number which had been collected, something far beyond what w as ori g inall y con templated by its meat sanguine suppor ters, and he was surprised at the spirit and perseverance with which the drudgery and details of drill had been gon e throu g h, and which had given a practical refutation to all those sinis ter prophecies which met the original movement, and which said that it would be merely child's play, that the corps would consent of uniforms and no other, and that the volunteers would put their Lacks to the thing, and that consequently they never would be able to become practically acquainted with the movements they were to practice in the field. He did not know whether he might be allowed to allude to it, but he thought he might report from " an other place " that they had last night a very satisfactory discussion upon the subject of volunteers. Threats had been made and great attacks held out, but they were not made, but silence had . taken the place of the fireworks which they had expected, and there had been a unanimous feeling in the House of Commons that the progress of this association, and the efficiency which the movement had acquired, put all attempts at attacking it out of the question. (llear.) He would state briefly the history and progress of the association. It was established with a view to give a central authority and neucleus as a point of communication for all corps in different parts of the kingdom, and spreading throughout our population a taste for the use of the rifle, and to nationalise that which had hitherto been very much neglected. He saw constant allusions to the times when every man practised at a butt with a long bow, but that had gone out until last year, and no other weapon had b3en substituted. This country had been so engaged in civil matters that military affairs had been neglected, except in so far as they had been left to the regular array. Our civil population had almost lost all inte rest in military affairs. The National Rifle Association was established in January last, and went through all the usual preliminaries, and they were extremely indebted to those who put the council in motion. The manner in which the funds of the association had been spent, ought to be mentioned. The preliminary committee enjoyed offices in Trafalgar-square, at the rate of 100 guineas a - year, and furnished them with the usual necessaries. The gentle man to whom the secretaryship was first offered, declinedit, but it was felt that his services were so necessary, that an other application was made to him, and he accepted it. The gentleman alluded to was Capt. Mildmay, a gentleman who had had much experience in the Austrian service. Hi, salary had been fixed at £3OO a year, which he thought was not too high, considering that the Agriculrural Society gave its secretary £4OO a year and a house. With regard to the finances, he was happy to say that he had a very good budget to produce. There were 232 life subscribers, who produced £1,346 a year ; 501 annual subscribers, who produced £526 a year ; and 25 donors, producing £289. There were some other items received since the balance sheet was made up, and the total receipts for the year had consequently been £3,308. An ongst these one class of subscriptions deserved to be remarked upon, namely, that of the rifle corps, who contributed to the the finances of the association. (Hear, hear.) Amongst these were the Queen's Westminster Volunteers, the Ist Dorset, the 12th Middlesex, the sth Chester, the Ist Wilts, the 2d Surrey, the 2d Essex, the Middlesex, the 11th Norfolk, the 11th Somerset, the Wimbledon, the Northamptonshire, and the St. George's. He would not enter into the question of the prizes which ware to be awarded at the meeting at Wimbledon, but he might be permitted to state, on the part of the Government of which he was a member, that they looked with the greatest anxiety upon the future of the volunteer corps. There was certainly some danger of the corps melting away when the first blush of excitement was passed, but if anything could give stability to the movement it would be the existence of that association. Lord ELcito said he did not know what the right hon. gentleman meant by a satisfactory budget, except he went upon the principle of that of his own Chancellor of the Ex chequer which promised a defeat for the next year. The asso ciation had a balance in hand of £2,200, but the expenses would be very heavy at Wimbledon and would take all the money they had, if not more. He might remark that the ap proaching const was founded upon the model of a practice which prevailed in Switzerland and which had been proved to be very effective. The expenses of the association would be very heavy. There were 120,000 men at present con nected with the rifle corps, and if they would subscribe a shilling a piece towards the funds of the association it would give an income of £GOO a-year, which wouhl be a very hand some sum. In answer to a question from Lord Fielding, Lord ELcno said that there would bo only two limita tions imposed upon candidates, namely, that the weight of the rifles used should not exceed 101bs., and that no hair triggers should be used. Lord FIELDING remarked that the Wimbledon meeting was fixed for a rather early date. Lord FIELDING proposed a resolution affirming that, in the opinion of the meeting, the National Rifle Association was worthy of national support. Mr. ROUPELL, M.P., seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. Sir J. BURGOYNE moved a vote of thanks to the Chair man, and in doing so entered into some details in reference to rifle practice. The motion having been carried by accla mation, The CmuumAN said he was extremely flatttered by and obliged for this vote, and he felt it a great honour to see amongst them an officer so accomplished as Sir John Bur goyne, one who had passed through some of the greatest campaigns - which the world ever saw, taking so lively an interest in the proceedings of the association. He held in his hand a letter front another veteran, one who had not served in the field, but who was one of the best lawyers and the most acute debaters ever known. He had reached an extreme old age, but still had retained not only all the acute ness of his mind, but all the fire of his earliest youth. The letter was as follows : " George-street, May 26. " Dear Lord Elcho,—l regret extremely that it will not be in my power to attend the meeting in support of the Na tional Rifle Association. I need not add, that I feel the deepest interest in the success of this important national object, and, above all, in the permanence of the system. A free people, if worthy of their character, must be ready at any moment to defend their freedom, and resolute in taking the necessary steps to render that defence effective. The impression which the measure has already produced on the continent of Europe is, as I learn, most satisfactory.— I remain, my dear Lord, yours faithfully, "Lord Elcho. " LYNDHURST." He (Mr. S. Herbert) thought that when they received such testimoney as this they might reasonably hope the complete success of their association. (Cheeas.) A vote of thanks to Lord Elcho terminated the procoed ings. LAW INTELLIGENOE.--(7WIS DAY COURT OF EXCHEQUER. :Sittings in Banco before the Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Baron Channell.) GENERAL BEATSON V. EOCENE.- JUDGEMENT. The Lord Chief Baron delivered the unanimous opinion of the Judges in this case, which was an action for slap- der, brought by General Beatson against Mr. Skene, late consul at Aleppo, and who at the time of the words being uttered was acting as private secretary and civil commis sioner to Major-General Vivian in the Crimea. The facts of the case have been repeatedly reported at the trial which took place before Mr. Baron Bramwell, a letter was called for on behalf of the plaintiff, which was in the possession of Mr. Sidney Herbert, the Secretary at War. lie refused to produce it, as it would be a precedent injurious to the public service, and the Judge declined to enforce its pro duction. For the defence, it was contended that the commu nication, in which the words spoken were a privileged com munication, and the learned Judge left that question to the jury, who found that it was, and returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., with Mr. Hawkins, an d Mr. Grey, who appeared for the plaintiff, had obtained a rule to set aside that verdict on the ground of misdirec tion; that :the judge ought to have: enforced the produc tion of the letter ; that the production of a privileged com munication was one of law, and ought to have been decided by the judge, and not left to the jury ; and also that the verdict was against evidence. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Garth opposed the rule, and the Court took time to consider their judgment. The Lord Chief Baron, in delivering the judgment, said the judges were unanimous in opinion that the verdict of the jury ought not to be disturbed ; the court had no rea son to be dissatisfied with the evidence, and were of opinion that there was no misdirection, as the documents, if they had been produced they could not have been made evidence. The plaintiff had relied upon the fact that the defendant had volunteered the statement and not in his official capa city. The Court were of opinion when once it was esta blished that a person had been privileged he was entitled to protection, and that it was a proper question for the jury, and had been properly so left by the judge, therefore the rule would be discharged upon all the grounds. Mr. Hawkins then applied for leave to appeal. The ques tion was one of great importance to General Beatson, and he was anxious that he should have leave to appeal. The Lord Chief Baron—Upon what grounds ? At pre sent I do not see any. Mr. Hawkins said there were several—the non-produc tion of the documents. The Lord Chief Baron—We are all unanimously of opi nion that the sleettraents, the letter, and the remotes of the THAMES. A PLEASANT PLACE TO CARRY BUSINESS.—John Murphy, an audacious lad, aged 18, who has been sum marily convicted of larceny six times, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing a waistcoat and a pair of trousers from the shop of Mr. Eugene Reardon, pawn broker and salesman, No. 62, Broad-street, Ratcliff. The property was exposed for sale outside Mr. Reardon's shop on Tuesday last, and the prisoner was seen to remove it and run away. He was pursued, but managed to escape and conceal himself in an Irish colony, called Harris's court, 200 yards from Mr. Reardon's house. He was cap tured on Friday in Harris's-court, and the trousers he had stolen were found upon him. They were valued at 7s. 6d. The waistcoat had been pawned. Mr. Reardon said he had lost £lOO worth of property under precisely similar circumstances during the last two and a-half years. Mr. Selfe—You must expect it, Mr. Reardon. You ex pose goods for sale outside your shop, which you ought not to do. Mr. Reardon—The clothes were beyond the reach of any boy. Mr. Selfe—Not beyond the prisoner's reach, for some how or other he got them down. • ' Mr. Reardon--The thieves from Harris's-court come into my shop and steal goods. Nothing is safe from them in Broad-street and Brook-street. Mr. Selfe—Then Ratcliff must be a pleasant place to carry on business. A police-constable named Fry, 320 K, said the prisoner had been summarily convicted six times, and was the worst thief in the district. His father, who was convicted of stabbing a man, died in prison eight months ago. Mr. Selfe committed the prisoner for trial. The prisoner (insolently)—Can't you do anything else ?

MARRIAGE ON £3OO A-YEAR.—It may well be true that the habits of English gentlemen are more expen sive and luxurious than they were thirty years ago but I would ask in all humility, has not the desire for social dis tinction increased in a corresponding way among English ladies ? If Romeo longs for a cotelette a la Soubise tossed off in a fashion somewhat superior to the usual style of English domestic cookery, does not Juliet insist upon her brougham and her little house in Tyburnia as indispensable conditions before she endows her lover with all the rich treasures of her virgin heart? Are not both too eager to begin life at the very point which their parents had attained just when they were on the eve of quitting it, How often do you meet with a young lady in society who is honestly ready to accept the risks of human life with a husband who has little to recommend his suit in the way of worldly en dowments ? And is it much to be wondered at, if men who have been left to bear the heat and burden of the day alone, should, when the struggle has been decided in their favour, be somewhat of opinion that they can manage without as sistance to spend the produce of their labour in their own way,—Ono q Ireck, SHARE 111 ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS, '.HIS DAY.)

An inquest was held yesterday afternoon, at the Guildhall, Plymra th, before Mr. John Edmonds, the coroner for the borough, to inquire into the cir cumstances attending the death of Mary Aune Luke, who died on Wednesday evening from in juries she sustained by jumping out of a window on the previous afternoon. The case having been much talked about during the day, there was a very large crowd in and around the Guildhall; The hall itself was com pletely filled, as were also its approaches, and there were hundreds in the street who could not get in. The Coroner addressed the jury, and said they were called together for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances attending the death of Mary Anne Luke. This investigation was of considerable importance, not only on account of the station of the deceased, but also as to how far the fatal occur rence was attributable to the conduct of the father. By the rule of the law, a parent might chastise his child properly, but that must not be done violently. It seemed, from what he had heard—but they would have the evidence by and by—that this young woman, the deceased, was violently beaten with a rope, and that she fled in consequence from her father, and jumped out of a window. By law, if one person, under a well-grounded apprehension of violence from another, had to resort to such means as that by which this young woman met her death, he who had caused it was held responsible. The jury then adjourned to the house to view the body. When Thomas Luke, the father of the unfortu nate girl, came into court, he was received with yells from the assembled crowd. Mary Abbott, the first witness called, was exa mined, and said—l am a widow and reside at Mr. Thomas Luke's house, 30, Union-street, Mr. Luke and all his family reside there. Ima employed by him as housekeeper. The deceased was his daughter, and was single ; her age was 18, and she was a healthy girl, except during the last few months. Her employment was keeping her father's business and selling boots and shoes. Mr. Luke has a wife and five and other children, the deceased being the eldest. All the family lived in the house, with the exception of Mr. Luke and the eldest son, who took their meals at one of the other shops, Mr. Luke having four in different parts of the town. All the family slept at the house in Union-street. At two minutes to nine, on Tuesday night last, Miss Luke came home to he shop with her mother, having been at the establishment in Bedford-street all the afternoon, where she went with her father. They appeared to be good friends. She went up to her bedroom, which was two stories high, to take off her bonnet and shawl. She came down again on her sister calling her, and went into the kitchen. Her father was there, and insisted on an explanation, which she said she could not give, and he then slapped her face with his hand. He might have given her two or three slaps, but I cannot say. She cried, but said she could not give any explanation. Her father then took a piece of line and struck her. (The " line" was handed to the coroner. It was apparently a piece of clothes-line, about the thickness of a small finger. As it was exhibited a roar of execration burst forth from the densely.crowded court, which the coroner appeased by requesting the crowd to desist from anyiexhibition of feeling, whatever:their thoughts might be.) Her father went into the yard and cut it from a clothes-line. He held it in his right hand when he came in, and the deceased was standing up. No one had hold of her. I think the line was once doubled, and her father struck her with it on the arm. Ido not think more than two or three blows were struck. She held up her arm, receiving the stripes on it, and said, "Don't, father." He ordered her to bed, and she went. That was instantly after he struck her the last blow. She was crying then, but not much, and left the room quickly. No one followed her. The kitchen door was then shut. When Mr. Luke ordered his daughter to bed he threw the rope down on the floor. He did not threaten to beat her again, but sat down, and she ran up stairs, and I stood at the kitchen table. We heard deceased's window thrown open, and her sister Emily screaming that deceased was out of window. I ran into the court with Mr. Luke, and there we found her on the ground quite insensible. She was lying on her back, with her head thrown on one side. She was removed in doors, and I went for a surgeon, Mr. Whipple. Deceased died at 10 minutes after eight o'clock last night. Deceased spoke yesterday, and she was attended by Mr. Whipple and Mr. Square. Confirmatory evidence having been given, the jury returned the following verdict :—" That on the 27th of May, in the year of our Lord, 186( the said Mary Ann Luke, having been severely beaten by her father, Thomas Luke, of Ply mouth, at No. 30, Union-street, within the borough, became excited, and, while labouring under temporary derangement, jumped from the bedroom window of her father's premises and fell on the ground below, whereby her skull was frac tured and brain lacerated. That she languished therefrom, at 30, Union-street aforesaid, until the 30th day of the said month of May, and then and there died of the said fracture of the skull and laceration of the brain, and the jury further say that her said father's conduct towards the deceased was marked by undue severity." During the time the foreman was reading the decision of the jury, Luke made use of some inco herent expressions, and then sank forward on the desk weeping like a-child. PALACE OF .A CHINESE MERCHANT. A letter from Canton of the 11th April, in the Gazette de France, says :—" I lately visited the estate of a Chinese merchant of Canton, named Portingua, and on which he spends 3,000,000 f. a year—an immense sum in a country where labour is to be had almost for nothing. The property is larger than a king's domain. This Chinaman made his fortune in the opium trade, and is said to pos sess more than 100,000,000 f. He has 50 wives and 80 domestics, without counting 30 gardeners, labourers, &c., and owns in the north of China a still finer estate. He has a great liking for the French, and receives them well. When I went with two friends to visit his mansion, he had just left, but I was received by a steward, who con ducted us over the house and grounds. In front of the house is a vast garden in which are the rarest flowers, and a wide alley leads to the prin cipal entrance. The apartments are vast, the floors being in marble ; they are ornamented with columns of the same material and of sandal wood encrusted with mother-o'-pearl, gold, silver, elle precious stones. Splendid looking glasses of a prodigious height, furniture in precious wood covered with Japan lacquer, and magnificent car pets of velvet and silk decorate the rooms. The apartments are separated from each other by moveable partitions of cypress and sandal wood, which are ornamented with charming designs cut right through the wood, so as to permit one room to be seen from the other. From the ceilings are suspended chandeliers ornamented with precious stones. There are more than thirty piles of build ing in the whole edifice, which are united by covered galleries with columns and pavements in marble. The lodgings of the women are decorated with more than Eastern splendour. An entire army might be lodged in the house and grounds. Water-courses, on which are gilded junks, traverse them in all directions ; and at intervals are vast basins, in which are swans, ibises, and an infinite variety of birds. There are also pagodas nine storeys high, which are very remarkable ; some are in marble, others in sandal-wood, carved with great art. In the gardens are extensive aviaries of the rarest and most beautiful birds. In front of the womens' apartments is a theatre in which a hundred actors can perform, and so placed that people in the apartments can see without difficulty. Near the outer door is a printing-office, in which M. Portingua causes the memoirs of his family to be prepared for posterity." THE PULLINGER FRAUDS.—The Stock-Exchange Committee yesterday concluded their investigations regard ing the transactions of Pullinger, and resolved to suspend Messrs. R. S. and J. S. Scrimgeour and Co. until the 25th of March, when the next annual election will take place. Messrs. Scrimgeour are the brokers to the Union Bank of London, and near relatives of the manager. They appear to have executed speculative orders for Pullinger in June, 1856, and to have continued them to the period of his ap prehension, but these were all of comparatively small amount, and were chiefly in Turkish Stock and Sambre and Meuse, North of Europe Steam, and Grand Russian Railway shares. The firm of Messrs. Scrimgeour is of the most respectable character, and no one supposes fur an in stant that they would have deliberately encouraged any dangerous operations on the part of a person in Pullinger's position; but their gross indiscretion in listening to his re presentations, and the fact of their having continued to act for him for three years after the notice issued by the Com mittee warning all members against such dealings seemed to render it impossible for a less penalty to be awarded than that which had appeared necessary in the most prominent of the previous cases. The decision will stand for confir mation on Monday next. Twenty-six out of the thirty members composing the Committee were present t o -d ay, and it was passed by the requisite majority of three-fourths, an amendment that the suspension should be limited to six months having been negatived. It is alleged that the arrangement mentioned yesterday for the building of 10 large steamers in this coun try for the Emperor Napoleon, with capital to be raised under a French guarantee of 5 per cent ~ ostensibly for the purposes of Eastern commerce, was :intended to be signed in Paris this day. The Birkenhead commissioners have agreed to the introduction of horse railways through the principal thoroughfares of that town, on a plan proposed by Mr. Train, of NtiT Xork, FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST EVENING.
