MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The public markets for foreign and colonial pro duce have been closed since Thursday last for the Easter holidays, but they have reopened to-day. Tea has continued dull, but few dealings have been recorded by private contract. Sugars have sus tained their previous value, and a good demand has been experienced for coffee, rice, and cocoa. The transactions in saltpetre have been unimportant, with no alteration to report in prices ; and the tallow market has been dull, very little speculative business having been entered into for forward delivery ; prices, however, have not shown any material change. P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted at 5 65. to 565. 3d., and for last three months 525. per cwt. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a moderate amount of business was transacted, but prices had a downward tendency. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. No alteration of importance is exhibited in the state of the Money Market, beyond a quieter tone, resulting from the dividend payments. The quo tations remain unchanged, the enquiries are nume rous, and the dealers conduct their operations with almost as much reserve as before. This extreme cau tion is attributable to the limited supplies now available, and to the impression that the market Will retain a stringent appearance, in spite of a little temporary relief that may be afforded by the dividends. Besides, it is borne in mind that in addition to £2,650,000 Victoria Railway bonds, there are - other engagements due within the next few weeks which exceed the aggregate amount to be released in shape of the half-year's interest on the New 'Threes, Reduced Annuities, &c. A small quantity of gold, viz., £lO,OOO, was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exporta tion, the supplies in the market having been ex hausted. There has been very little variation to-day in the English Stock Market, but the tendency has been rather more favourable. At first a little depression prevailed, tut a slight advance has occurred. Con sols, which have been 941 1 for transfer, and 94; for account, are now 941 ; and 941 4 respectively. The New Threes and the Reduced remain at 921 93 ; the New 21 per Cents. are 781 79 ; Bank Stock is firmer at 226 ; India New Loan is steady at 1041 105 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 981 ; ditto 51- per Cent. ditto at 104 ; and the Debentures have improved to 97. Business in the Foreign Stock Market is rather quieter, but prices in most instances are firmer. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 79 to 791; ditto New, 611 to 62; Russian 3 per Cents. have improved to 641 ; Mexican, to 211 4; Sardinian, to 831; Spanish 3 per Cents. to 461; and ditto Deferred, to 34; 35. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 21 prem., and the Universal ditto, f i prem. Increased buoyancy has been apparent in the Railway Share Market, most of the principal lines being at a further improvement of about to 1 per cent. East Anglian have advanced 55.; Great Wes tern, Brighton, North-Western, South - Western, Midland, and South-Eastern, 10s. ; North-Eastern (Berwick), and North-Eastern (York), 15s. ; Bris tol and Exeter, and Caledonian, £1 ; and Great Northern, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, £1 10s. The Foreign lines have been in steady request at about former rates: Great Luxembourg, 64 ; Lom bardo -Venetian, 111 ; and Pernambuco, 11.1. In the Colonial Market, Grand Trunk of Canada have declined £l, and Great Western of Canada b e•; East Indian and Great Indian Peninsula rea• lised previous rates. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have st , bee n in fair request. London and Westminster E, have i mprove d to 5 3 ; London Joint Stock, to 311 ; St' Peninsular and Oriental Steam realised 79; and Van Dieman's Land, 101. stc BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

Now first chronologically arranged. Edited by Peter Cunningham. Part I. Bentley. The letters of Horace Walpole being among the most famous epistolary productions in our language, have no need of criticism. We have only to say that the now edition which Mr. Bentley is bringing out is of excellent type, handsome size, and good paper, and admirably adapted to those who wish to possess themselves of this celebrated correspond• ence without making a great and immediate outlay. The edition is to be brought out after the fashion now so generally followed, in eighteen monthly parts, and will, when bound, be well suited for any library. Israel in the Past, the Present, and the Future. By T. Hutton, F.G.S., autkor of " The Chrono logy of Creation," &c. Allen and Co. This little volume consists of a series of lectures on the Restoration of the Jews, and, having reached a second edition, has found some favour with the public. It is written in a clear and able style, and passes in review the tenets of the Jews. The author considers that it is clearly proved by the testimony of Scripture that the promise of restoration was not held out to " the literal and natural Israel, but to the believing Jews and Gentiles over whom the spiritual reign of the Saviour was established:" Without entering on these complex and difficult questions, we commend the work to those who in terest themselves in theological and controversial discussions as written with care and moderation, and bearing evidence of much thought and labour. The Consummation. By Thomas Hutton, F.G.S., Captain Bengal Army. Allen and Co. This work adds another to the many volumes that have been written in attempted explanation of the Book of Revelations. The writer disclaims having examined the Apocalypse with any inten tion of corroborating any particular theory of his own, which, ho asserts, has often interfered with a correct explanation. We must confess that we do not consider works of this kind very profitable to either reader or writer. Many passages in the work in question express the author's conviction that all forms of faith now extant are false and idolatrous, and in one paragraph he expressly says that many existing doctrines " proclaim with trumpet tongue that we are still part and parcel of the idolatrous beast, and that our clergy are of that false prophet whose doom is the torment of the burning fiery lake." This condemnation is as comprehensive as it is unsparin g , for he considers that all the religions of the earth are to be corrupt until the time of final retribution. He has selected for his motto Our Lord's words, " Ask and it shall be given you ; seek and ye shall find," &c.; but these words were n o t s p o k en o f any interpretation of Scripture. There is another verse of the New Testament which might w ith ad vantage be borne in mind by all eager expositors of prophecy . andforetellers of th e " com i ng tribula tion." Christ himself warned his disciples against presumptuous inquiries. "It is not for you to know the times and the seas ons w hi c h th e Father hath put in his own p ower ." S uc h su bj e cts are best left in the darkness which envelopes them. If more attention were devoted to the diffusion of practical Christianity, and less to the discussion of these theological subtleties, there would be much gain to mankind at large and little less to the lite rary world, by the direction of the time and talents bestowed on this unprofitable labour into more satisfactory and healthy channels. Italy in the Nineteenth Century. By the Right Hon. J. Whiteside, M.P., LL.D. New edition. Longman. This is an appropriate epoch for the appearance of a new edition of Mr. Whiteside's work on Italy, and to the general read 2r it will have lost nothing by being abridged from three volumes into one. The main object which the author originally pro posed to himself in its production was to supply a want, which he had himself experienced in travel ling, by furnishing a book that would touch on the " statistics, agriculture, law, history, justice, insti tutions, and politics" of the land, while lighter subjects were intermingled, and the wonders of art 100 Stk 2O 10 100 I 100 106 17& 20 Lock Stock) 20 Sto.

SPORTING NO TES. NEWMARKET, MONDAY NIGHT. ' The racing season may now be said to have fairly commenced. There was a good attendance of book makers on the course, and the absence of some of the principal backers of the favourites for the Two Thousand Guineas was the subject of general re mark. Umpire, who for a long time was under sus picion, has pleased the cognoscenti so well that he has been again installed first favourite for the Derby ; but I would advise the readers of The Sun not to touch him except for hedging purposes. lie is an overrated horse, and ought to be among the 40 to 1 division. The horse that will most likely win the Derby of 1860 is The Wizard, and if I couple him with Nutbourne and Mainstone, I do not think I shall have cause to regret my choice. The only noteworthy occurrence to-day was the defeat of Fravola for the 25 Soya Sweepstakes, and the easy victory of Thunderbolt The partisans of Richmond received a heavy blow and sore discouragement by his defeat for the £5O Sweepstakes. On Wednesday, the Column Stakes ought to be won by The Leprechaun or Sagitta. Ardour seems the best for the Selling St ekes. On Thursday Mr. Merry ought to pocket the 100 SOTS. Sweepstakes by one of his pair. Sabreur ought to carry off the Produce Stakes, and Plum Pudding the Hurstbourne. Promised Land ought to beat North Lincoln in the Claret Stakes; and Little Lady should win the Two-year old Sweepstakes. Red Rock looks well for the Rowley Mile Sweepstakes. If Thormanby enter an appearance against Thunderbolt, there will be an interesting race ; but it is hardly likely Mr. Merry will pull him out, and in that case I will give the preference to Thunderbolt over all corners At the present time I would recommend an invest ment on Yoicks for the City and Suburban, and Professor Dick for the Metropolitan Handicap. Catterick Bridge races commence to-morrow, and bid fair to retain their popularity in the West Riding. As many of the horses entered for the various races are ako engaged at Newmarket, it would be useless to make a guess at the probable winners. The racing for this week will be wound up by the Thirsk meeting, which takes place on Friday and Saturday next. A FRESH MAN. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

THERE Is NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.— I think the following facts will be interesting to your readers at the present time, when the rifle is the topic of the day. The carbine with which Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh shot the Regent Murray in 1570 is preserved at Hamilton Palace. It has a brass barrel the same length as the Enfield rifle, and the bore is of the same diameter, and, what is most singular, it is rifled nearly in the same manner as the En field, The power of this rifle appears to have been great, for "the ball, after passing through the body of the regent, killed the horse of a gentleman who was riding on the other side."—Correspondent of the Builder. CAUGHT BY A SHARK.—The Karnak had arrived at New York from Ha7annah and Nassau with Sir W. Gore Ouseley. As she was leaving the latter port a pilot fell overboard from her boat, in which he was being towed.

The preface gives a summary of the events of Italy since 1848, and the author's opinions of them. Whether or no the reader coincide in all the views expressed on the vexed questions of Italian politics, he can scarcely fail to be at tracted and interested by the general contents of this comprehensive volume.

PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 9. The court-martial held on board the Victory, to ry Lieut. G. S. Graves, of her Majesty's sloop Siren, on various charges, re-assembled this morning. The evidence with regard to the first charge—that of behaving with contempt to the commander, was most frivolous in its character, and the charge was not substantiated. In reference to the second, Mr. Eversfield, the paymaster, deni(d that the prisoner had used the language imputed to him, viz., " I would not stand it, Eversfield, if I was you ; I would write to the Commander-in-Chief about it ;" and with regard to the language which it was stated the prisoner had used to Lieutenant Lewis, viz., " You have eaten dirt," he said in his defence that the observation was made privately in the ward room, in a jocular manner, and he did not expect. that it would be made the subject of inquiry by a court-martial. As to the third charge, he did not deny having used the words which it was alleged he had spoken to the several seamen, viz., " Why don't you run 9" but inasmuch as the date was not fixed he could not recollect the circumstances under which he used them. As to the fourth charge, the petty officers to whom it was alleged ho had be haved in a cruel and oppressive manner, by causing them to be lashed to spars or gratings, were habitual drunkards, violent when drunk, and he adopted that course in order t o prevent t h em fropi sustaining injury, and not as a punishment. The court, having deliberated, was of opinion that the first and fifth charges (the latter that of bringing false and frivolous charges against the commander) had not been proved, and acquitted him of the same. The court was; further of opinion that the second, third, and fourth charges were partly proved ; but, taking into consideration the long confinement already undergone by the prisoner (who was in June last ordered to be placed under arrest on his removal from the sick list), and the imperfect man ner in which the three last-mentioned charges had been brought before the court with respect to names and dates, the court only adjudged Lieu tenant Graves to be severely reprimanded ; and re primanded him accordingly. THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has announced his intention of making an inspection of the whole of the troops now quartered at Chatham garrison this morning. The review will take place on Chatham lines, where the entire force of the gar rison will be drawn up to await the arrival of his Royal Highness. An official notification has been received at Chat am of the appointment of Mr. J. R. Taylor, C. 8., nspector-general of hospitals, principal medical officer at Fort Pitt, and one of the hon. surgeons to hor Majesty, to the head of the invalid establish ment and sanatorium which has been established at the Cape of Good Hope, for the reception of the sick and wounded troops serving in China. The successor of Dr. Taylor at Fort Pitt has not yet been officially announced. Yesterday the whole of the men composing the 10th depot battalion, stationed at Colchester, and numbering nearly 2,000 rank and file, under the command of Col. Street, C. 8., had a grand field-day upon the extensive parade ground at Middlewick. The men, who are chiefly young recruits, and hare joined their respective depots within the past 12 months, passed through their exercises in a satis factory manner. Major-Gen. Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K.C.8., Adjutant- Gen eral of the Army, and late Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmouth, has given orders for the erection, at his own private cost, of a handsome drinking foun tain over a celebrated spring on Southsea-common —the exercising ground of the troops of the garri son, and the favourite summer promenade of the civilians—as a testimonial of his kelings and good wishes towards the inhabitants generally, engen dered during the period of his command. Intelligence having been received that the 31st (Huntingdonshire) Regiment has been despatched from Poonah to China, orders have been received at the depot, Chatham Garrison, for 102 non-commis sioned officers and men to be held in readiness to embark for China to reinforce the service companies. The subalterns oreered to embark with the rein forcements are—Ensign I. Parsons and Ensign G. M. Lambert. The 31st depot at Chatham is up wards of 300 strong, and recruits are still joining. The service companies have been in India since 1853. The Waterford Militia Artillery, stationed in the Portsmouth garrison district, are ordered to be held in readiness to embark for Waterford, for the pur pose of being disembodied between the 23d and 30th inst. This regiment musters under 300 rank and file. The Royal Wiltshire Militia, consisting of about 32 officers and 585 men, are under orders to proceed from Dover to Devizes, for the purpose of being also disembodied between the 23d and 30th inst. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Dety.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CRI'ELTT TO THE SHEEP IN KENSINGTON-GARDENS. — Michael Casey, an errand boy, was charged before Mr. Beadon with ill-treating the sheep in Kensington-gardens. Edwards, park constable 57, said that at half. past five the previous afternoon, while on duty in Kensington-gar dens, a gentleman came to him and told him that some boys were cruelly ill-treating some sheep, and on his going to the spot he found the prisoner and three others beating the sheep over their heads and legs with thick sticks in a very brutal manner. [The park-keeper here produced a thick rail which he took from the prisoner.] He managed to secure the prisoner, but the others escaped. It was a practice of daily occurrence, and many complaints were made of the conduct of the boys. Mr. Beadon said it was a monstrous and abominable practice, and he should do his utmost to stop it. He should therefore commit him for seven days with hard labour. ASSAULTS ON THE POLICE BY A "WOODEN-LEGGED MAN.—John Griffith, a wooden-legged man, was charged with assaulting Sergeant Appleton and a constable of the C division by striking them about the head with his fist, and also severely kicking them with his wooden leg while on the way to the station, using at the same time very bad language. Mr. head on said the prisoner had made use of that which was an object of pity (the prisoner being a crossing sweeper) as a weapon of offence against the police. He should com mit him for seven days. THAMES. Teen IRRELIGIOUS DISTURBANCES IN THE CHURCH OF Sr. GEORGE'S-IN-TelE - E AST.—Mont morning Mr. Charles Warren Adams, a very t a ll young gentleman, and a well - kn own partisan of the Rev. Bryan King, whose name has been frequently mentioned in con nection with the di s turbances in the parish chur c h o f St . G eorge ' s -in-the Fast, applied tolMr. SeHe for% summons against Mr. William John Thompson, the senior church warden of the parish, for assaulting him on Sunday night. The applicant is the son of the late Mr. Sergeant Adams, for many years Assistant-Judge of the Middlesex and Westminster Sessions, and is an ardent advocate of high Church doctrine, better known as Fuseyisni. He was accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Dove, one of the curates of St. George's, who, it must be recollected, had to pay compensation to Mr. Herbert, the parish constable for assault, and injuring his leg, in the vestry of St. George's church, a few weeks since. Mr. Adams, in applying for the summons, said he had been grievously assaulted by the churchwarden. On Sun day evening he was standing at the a ltar rails of the church endeavouring, to prevent a disor derl y mob from enterin g the alter, when Mr. Churchwarden Thompson, at the head of several persons, came tow ards him, collared him, pulled him off the steps,shoved him along, and kicke . d him, and th en gave n him into the custody of Button, the parish beadle, w h o escorted him some distance from the altar and then released him. Mr. Selfe —You are entitled to a summons. The summons was made out. The churchwarden who was unanimously re-elected by the vestry on Good Friday, and who has been complimented by the magistrates of this Court for his impartiality and discrimination in the course of the unhappy disturbances will be defended, at the cx penze cif the parish, by Mr, How ell, the vestry clerk. ,/' ~, SPAIN AND MOROCCO. A letter from Tetuan, dated March 25th, sa• rs: , —The most severely contested and, as it has pr the decisive and final action of the Spanish I sa paign in Morocco, was fought the day before y, terday. Of the bare facts of what has occurr 3d, of the battle, the Moors' courageous defence, thi 3ir final complete defeat, the heavy loss of the S: )a. niards (larger than has been admitted by of fie returns to have been suffered in any other acti On of this war), of the renewed negotiations, and, 'the final signature of peace by Marshal O'Donnell and Maley Abbas, you will already have rec tived tidings. At four o'clock on the morning of the 23d i the (liana sounded in the streets of Tetuan ar d iti the camps in front and rear of the city; tents here struck, mules loaded, and before six the w hole Spanish army, between 20,000 and 25,000 str was in motion westwards. In Tetuan remain ed a slender garrison of barely 1,500 men ; the t area forts near the sea, known respectively as Mai tin, Custom-house, and Star, were intrusted to the o of a small force of infantry of the line and of a f.hia. companies of the Ba sque contingent, besides ll] e necessary artillerymen for working the guns. at was evident the General-in -Chief expected to I Lave occasion for every man he could muster. The action commenced at a short league f emu Tetuan ; the ground where it terminated, and wl :ere the Spaniards encamped, is about Weague furt LIS r off. The river Guad el hitt, or Martin, changes its name it more than one place, and at a league : tnd a half from Tetuan, where it makes an abrupt l am to the right and crosses the road under a bri( ge, it is known as the Guad el Ras. The road to 'I hn gier is rather more like a road than the imper rect tracks which generally bear that name in 1 Jais country. The positions successively held and al tan doned by the Moors on the line of advance of the main body of the Spanish army were of an adva rata geous nature, a series of hills partially covered vtith brushwood with here and there a dollar, or hanaret, of the poor huts the rural population herabouts habit. To give you a correct detailed account; of the action is scarcely possible, owing to the extant of the ground over which it was fought, and beca use it was in great measure a collection of desult, ry combats. The plan of the Moors was evid , t enough. They are, as you know, but poor tacticia m; , and judging, it may be supposed, of others by themselves, they imagined that the Spaniards woe thl advance along the valley without guarding tbo lofty and extensive heights upon their rig ht. Thither, however, General Rios betook hims elf, and soon became aware of the presence of a la - ,^,ge force of the enemy, estimated at about 12,000 men. - While that general, making a wide circuit checl ced the advance of this left wing, Eshague, Prim, ar ,d a small portion of the 3d corps, were fighting tlAeir way along the lower ground and over the hills t lie t diversified it. The most severe conflict was after x,h e passage of the river, where the Moors held ve strong positions opposite to the Spanish left. 11 zre the army changed its front about their quarters - to the left, and Prim attacked a village in wb the Moors had established themselves in great for ea, and where they made a most obstinate resistan De. A charge of cavalry directed against it proved, as might have been expected, utterly fruitless, and w 'as repulsed with the loss of about 80 men and hors es. Twice was the village taken and retaken, until at last the Spaniards permanently occupied it. The Te can be no question that the Moors fought on Friday better than they have ever yet done in this ca X paign. Their leaders had found means to inspi it them, notwithstanding their many previous defea ts, to redeem which they made a desperate effo et. Fresh troops had evidently been brought up ha n a remote parts of the empire. The black cavalry w, re there in force, and displayed great intrepidil,T. There were several hand-to-hand conflicts, in whi th bodies of Moorish infantry boldly attacked Spani battalions. In one instance a mere handful of in , m, rushed fearlessly upon the Spanish line, dying up , zn the bayonets, but not until some of them had : ,c -tually penetrated the battalion. Wherever tln re was a position favourable to the irregular mode of fighting of the Moors, these stubbornly defended and were more than once driven out only at the point of the bayonet. Doubtless, the leaders were for some time in hopes of their fire being responded to by that of the force which had been sent along the heights to get into the Spanish rear, but to which Rios opposed a barrier. Owing to the natu of the ground, and to avoid being himself outflank 3d by the large body of the enemy he encountered, Rios had to make a very wide circuit, and f Moors, seeing this, attempted to push in betwei him and the main body of the army, and to turn toe flank of the latter. They were repulsed, and after that, as already mentioned, the principal contest Ras on the left. From ridge to ridge, from one captured position to another, the Spaniards at last came in sight of the Moorish camps, These were three in number, and great hopes were entertained that, as on the ith of February, they would become the prize of the victors. But the enemy had profited by ex perience, and no longer entertained a blind confi dence in their power of successfully defending any position. With extraordinary celerity their camps were raised. It is true that they are not generally encumbered with much baggage, and most of them had probably little to transport beyond their can vas dwellings and a few old clothes and blankets; nevertheltss the rapidity of the operation was sur prising. A staff officer, who was observing and sketching, assured me that not more than 10 or 12 minutes elapsed from the time when every tent was standing to the moment when the last had disappeared. Soon after four o'clock all was over, and nearly the last shots fired were by the two batteries of field artillery at the dispersed Moorish cavalry. After half-past four no more shots were heard, and this is worthy of note, as showing how completely the Moors must have considered the game up and have felt themselves proportionately disheartened, for in previous actions (except in one or two, when heavy rain seemed to have the effect of rendering their firearms unserviceable) they have invariably, even after they felt themselves beaten, kept up skirmishing until dark. The killed were nume rous, the wounded much more so, but the hurts of many of the latter were slight, and at least 200 or 300 were able to walk back to Tetuan, and the next day to the seashore for embarka tion. There was considerable loss of officers, as usual, in this war. All the commanding officers of C'a:adores, light infantry battalions, en gaged were hit. The heaviest loss (about one-half • of the whole) fell upon Prim's corps, which was the most engaged ; Echague's trcop3 had nearly 300 killed and wounded, including 3 colonels or lieu tenant-colonels and about 30 officers. The official return gives 7 officers and 130 men killed, 97 officers and 1,026 men wounded. General Alcale Galiano, commanding the cavalry, w as slightly wounded. Colonel Jovellar, of th e head- q uarters staff, received a ball through the arm. The total loss i i o s n 1 ,02f6 the e w killedoun wounds and are of wounded,little ibmutpoartlaanrgeee, and those who have received th e m will be able to re t urn. to their duty in two or three weeks.

Davies teak the oars, Miss I - lampson sat near the stern of the boat, and Smith sat behind her for the purpose of steering. After the party had reached the curve of the river, near the Water works, about a mile and a half from the place where they had started, Smith, at the request of Davies, rose for the pur ps: of having a turn at the oars. As he was passing ;,p the boat his foot caught in Miss Harnpson's dress.
