mow.Er MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Bank of England return completed to the 25th lust. shows some rather favourable features. The bullion, owing to the recent arrivals and the diminution in the shipments to the East, has been slightly augmented. The reserve of notes exhibits an addition of more than a quarter of a million. In the public deposits there has been a large in crease, but the private deposits, as well as the active circulation, shows a falling off. The other securities consequent upon the easy state of the money market and the less active demand for dis count accommodation, have been reduced to the extent of about a quarter of a million sterling. In the other items there is little change of importance to notice, and they will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation Decrease .. Bullion .. Increase ..

Notes Unemployed .. Increase .. .. The alterations rather strengthen the expecta tion that a decline of at least. I per cent. will shortly be announced in the Bank rate, but the de mand for accommodation on commercial account, and for the settlements at the Stock Exchange, may cause rather more activity in discount circles during the next fortnight. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited a slight decline in the rates on Vienna and 'Trieste, but on 'Hamburg a slight advance was apparent. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. The Liverpool Cotton Markot yesterday closed with more animation, and 10,000 bales were sold at previous quotations. On the Stock Exchange a fair amount of business was transacted, and prices continued to improve. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £773,156, and the exports £201,750, exclusive of the following shipments, direct from London to the Continent, during the week ending Thursday last :—Gold coin (llambro'), 12,795 ounces; Boulogne, 1,190 ounces ; Rotterdam, 10,000 ounces ; bars (Bremen), 5,000 ounces; Cadiz, 3,100 ounces; Boulogne, 600 ounces. Silver coin, (Boulogne), 4,400 ounces; Hambro', 10,000 ounces ; bars (llambro'), 208,000 ozs. ; Belgium, 34,000. ozs. There has been very little animation in the market for public securities to-day.

These causes came on to be spoken to on the minutes. The Solicitor-General, Sir Hugh M'Almont Cairns, Q.C., addressed a few observations to his lordship on the form of inquiry proposed to be adopted in this case. It was proposed last term to try the case before a jury, and issues were ac cordingly prepared to ascertain the right of the Crown to the alvins of the sea shore opposite the defendants' lands at Llannelly, South Wales. The learned counsel contended that Mr. Rees was excluded from this inquiry in respect that his interest had been already disposed of by his lord- ship. Mr. Reech submitted that Mr. Roca was entitled to be heard before the jury. The Lord Chancellor considered that Mr. Rees had been already fully heard and his cause disposed of, and that he was not entitled to be heard again. His lordship was anxious to save expense to all parties. The Solicitor-General then observed that the case would be better disposed of by a judge at chambers than by a jury. The learned counsel contended that the case should be re mitted to the Master of the Rolls, to take the evidence of engineers and witnesses as to the use of the sea shore above and below the medium line, and the natural or artificial alteration of the shore or high-water mark opposite the defendants' lands, by the old and new works of the de fendants. Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Gifford, Q.C., were at first disposed to prefer issues with special directions ; but, con sidering the great expense of trial by jury and uncertainty of obtaining a true verdict, it was ultimately agreed to send the case to the Master of the Rolls to be disposed of on the evidence already taken by him on the points in dispute between the parties, with liberty to apply. The Lord Chancellor considered that this was the best way of disposing of the case, to save expense to all parties, and remitted the case to the Master of the Rolls accordingly. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart.) JUDGMENT-FRAZER V. THOMSON. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor said—This is a suit by the assignees of the bankrupt to set aside an indenture of settlement by the husband and wife in November, 1856, on the ground of fraud against the creditors of the bankrupt. So far as the settlement included the property of the bank rupt himself, unless it can be supported by the considera tion of marriage, the evidence of the precise state of his affairs at that time was so strong that it could not stand; but the policy of the law has given a paramount importance to the consideration of marriage (unless the marriage is a mere fraudulent contrivance to defeat the claims of creditors), that both in law and equity such deeds are supported. They all support tho settlement of the husband's property, whether the wife was in the know ledge of his embarrassed circumstances previous to entering into a bone fide honest marriage or not. So it was held in the case of Champton v. Cotton, 17 Vessey ; Arbuthnot v. Miller, 25 Simons ; Smith v. Giffard, 1 vol. Collard. But if the marriage is not bone .fide, and entered into for the purpose of withdrawing the husband's pro perty from his creditors, the law is the reverse, and such connivance cannot be supported, as was found in the case of Columbine v. Pennel. His Honour considered that this marriage was a bona fide marriage, and did not fall under the operation of the 12th and 13th sections of the Bankrupt Act. The wife before marriage advanced her husband £l,OOO to carry on his precarious business.. The marriage was regularly solemnised, and . their furniture was publicly carted through the streets of Liverpool to her house by one of the witnesses, and no steps were taken by any of his creditors to secure it. His Honour dismissed the plaintiff's bill with costs. SHERIFFS' COURT. CHARTERERS AND SHIPOWNERS.-ROSS V. DATRIE, This was an action to recover £l3 ss. for 60 'tons of bal last, alleged to have been ordered by defendant. Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, said that the ballast had been ordered by a person to be supplied to a certain ship, and defendant was the charterer of the ship. The party who ordered the ballast was agent to defendant. This was denied on the other hand, and his Honour in quired where was the captain ? . . kr. Buchanan—He is upon his voyage, but will be home very shortly. His Honour—You had better take an adjournment for a short time, as the captain appears to be the only person who can throw any light on the matter. REFUSAL TO COMMIT-THE TALLY STSTEM In a number of tally cases which came before the court, his Honour made some very strong remarks upon the sub ject of the charges. He thought the poor got Bs. 6d. worth of goods for 21s.—that a system was general of dragging a string of poor people to the court for the purpose of getting costs. Now he was determined not to allow costs in this matter, for it was making a good profit out of the court in addition to that made on the goods. In one caso his honour refused to commit, as the defendant had shown himself to be without means. The proceedings in the courts of law at Westminster, this morning, were entirely devoid of interest. The Court of Queen's Bench was occupied hearing the arguments in a cause for the infringement of a patent for making metallic capsules for bottles, &c. In the Exchequer the cause before the Court was whether certain buildings sold at a public auction had been correctly described ; and in the Court of Common Pleas the part-heard case of "-Mackie v. Parker" was being proceeded with. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. MANSION-HOUSE. ROBBERY OF AN EMPLOYER.—Francis Ferris, a car penter's workman, In the employment of Mr. Weston, of Blackheath, builder, was charged with stealing .59 lbs. of lead under the following circumstances : Policeman James Fawkes, C 112, deposed that on the previous afternoon about three o'clock he saw the prisoner in Eastcheap with a wonderfully bulky protruberance about the body, and from the peculiarly stooping posture in which he walked suspected that he had something very heavy concealed in hiS trousers. Accordingly, he went after him, tapped him on the shoulder, and asked him if he had any lead about him, upon which the prisoner said, " Yes, he had," and produced two small pieces from his waistcoat pocket. Witness told him he had more than that, and as he continued to persist iu denying the fact, witness took him to the police-station, where, on searching his trousers he (witness) discovered a roll of lead, suspended round the prisoner's body by a cord, which weighed no less than 591bs. Upon subsequent inquiry, witness found that the prisoner had been working at some old buildings, from which he had no doubt stolen the lead ;' and as the prisoner had left his work at 12 o'clock, he must have carried the lead about in his trousers for three hours. Noah Geddes said he was time-keeperfsi Mr. Gleston at some buildings which were being pulled down in Mincing lane, and that the prisoner had been at work there for some weeks. He left the place at 12 o'clock the previous day and did not return in the afternoon, but whether the lead produced belonged to the premises or not witness could not positively swear, although it was very likely. The foreman of the plumbers working at the place also examined the lead produced, but could not swear to it, although it was of a description never used now, and re sembled some belonging to the buildings. The prisoner said he left work at 12 o'clock to get his dinner, and on his way back passed a house where a man was at work who owed hi= 3s , that man threw down the lead to him, and told him to make his money of it, and he took it away thinking it was all right. The Lord Mayor told him it was all wrong, and sent him to the treadmill fur a Inonth. LA Tr TELLIGENCE.( THIS DA E GUILDHALL. THE FOLLY OF FLYING TO THE. BOTTLE.—AIice Hatch, a tall, handsome girl, about 20 years of age, was charged with being drunk, and assaulting her employer, the pro prietor of Peele's Coffee-house. Mr. Mackay, from Mr. Buchanan's, attended for the pri soner, and urged on her behalf that family matters of a most unpleasant charactor had arisen, which excited the prisoner, and induced her to fly for consolation to the "cup that does not soothe, but more inebriates." Not being used to ardent liquor, she lost all control over herself, and was certainly very violent to her employer. The worthy Alder man would recollect that the prisoner had been locked up all night, and that was sufficient punishment for a girl evi dently moving in a respectable sphere of society. The pri soner exceedingly regretted having so foolishly forgotten herself, and he (Mr. Mackay) hoped the Alderman would not, for the sake of her future prospects, inflict any further imprisonment or penalty. The Alderman most kindly pointed out the folly of drunk enness, and hoped this would prove a warning to the pri soner. He would discharge her on this occasion, as her employer had refrained from pressing the case. Discharged accordingly. CRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAY.— ThumpAy, MAY 26.—Admissions on payment, 3,964; ditto by season tickets, 503; total visitors, 4,467. PAINFUL CASE.—On Wednesday an interesting looking little girl, about 16 years of age, was brought before the North Shields bench, charged with attempting to com mit suicide. It seems that on Monday afternoon about three o'clock, as Mr. Charlton, clockmaker, was pulling down the narrow in a boat, he observed a bonnet on the water, and near to it the body of a little girl, floating. He immediately got the girl into the boat and pulled to the shore, and fortunately, though she was quite unconscious for some time, she recovered. The girl, who was placed in the dock on Tuesday morning, was Sarah Gilchrist, daugh ter of a keelman, residing at St. Anthony's. She had been a domestic with Mrs. Elsdon, of Linskill-street, and some unpleasantness had arisen with her sister, who had told her her father would beat her. The father, who is married a second time, was in court with his wife, but they denied anv intention of offering violence to her. The girl had walked into the water in front of Percy-square, and when picked up was about 15 yards from the shore, and about 30 yards above the lower buoy. The poor creature had had a marvellous escape. The magistrate spokes few kind words to her, and she was allowed to go home with her pare n t s. —.Newcastle Chronicle. WHO IS TO WIN THE DEBIT? THE DERBY PROPHECIES. The following are Tun DERBY " prophecies" of the principal sporting journals : " Observer" of Bell's Life gives PROMISED LAND, with the expectation of seeing Mnsjid and Gamester his imme diate followers. " Rhyming Richard" of .Bell's Life goes for MARION ETTE, thus— "The Land" is beat 1 his backers' "eves With Idle tears are wet ;" One name is ringing to the skies ; That name is MARIONETTE "Harlequin" of Bell's Life says The Derby's won—THE PROMISED LAND is one ! ENFIELD two, and TRUMPETER three have run I "The Lay of the Tout" of Bell's Life goes for VOLCANO in the following strain : Ticket of Leave, Old Robert, Enfield, I advise you not to back, But Reynard's sure to run right well with French upon his bade. Thus I've rather held it better to go through them one by one, Than to give a host of " cocklmts," like the " Tizer" or the "Sun." Having dipped into the future, far as ever I could get, I will tell you (you have lots of time to win a fortune yet), For on the judge's board I see, VOLCANO (Ashmall) one, ELECTRIC nest; then, perhaps, RETARD farewell, I've done "Touchstone" of the Era places the first three in the following order : Promised Land.. Musjid Trumpeter. The " Stable Mouse" of the Era says, The blue riband of the turf for 1859 will decorate THE PROMISED LAND. " Vates," of the Morning Advertiser, gives Promised Land, Electric, and Cavendish; and although "Argun," of the Morning Post, has not yet given his prophecy, there is no doubt but he will follow suit amongst the supporters of Promised Land and Trumpeter, as every thing from the Days' stables always finds favour in his eyes ; aad very likely he may couple 31usjid with the two above named. " Sentinel" of the Sporting Life, in summing up, says : " I fancy the finish will be confined to Promised Land, Musjid, Trumpeter, Marionette, Defender, and Glenbuek, from which I should give the preference to Musirn, or the best of John Day's lot." "Record," of the Sporting Life, in his "Derby Dream," says—" I first dreamt that the proprietors of the Sporting Life were so pleased that they tipped me a twenty pound note. Now I'll go to Epsom, dream't I. I then dreamed that I stepped over to Hoares', the bankers, for gold for the note. The cashier suspiciously asks what I want gold for, so I whispered him, "I'm Record," I want it to spend it. " I beg your pardon," (I dream't) he said, gave me the gold, and very politely wished me a pleasant day. I then stumped up Chancery-lane, crossed Holborn, and (still dreaming. you know) asked an old friend for his horse and trap 'AI go to Epsom in. "Certainly, with pleasure," said he, and forthwith his little black mare washarnessed to the dos—cart. Well,in I got, drove home, and found Mrs. Record.'and the two little R's waiting. I handed them in, jamped up myself, turned the mare's head southward, and (still dreaming) off we went. " Wo-o, gently lass, there's plenty of both time and work for you ; take it easy, my gal." On .we went over Vauxhall-bridge, through South Lambeth, turning sharp round at the Swan at Stockwell, through Clapham and Mitcham to Tooting, where I pulled up with the mare full of go. We all had breakfast, Puss's mouth being washed out with a pint of good old ale, and (still dreaming, understand) away again we went. Lor, how the little black mare did pull and trot, she seemed to glory in the exhilarating run. We passed butchers, bakers, pubs., swells, and everything. " There goes Record' and Puss," cried everybody. " Yes," answered I (still dreaming), " here we do go, and I only wish we had the black Bess colt trying against us. We'd Derby him, wouldn't we, Pussy ?" On, on, we rattled. Turpin's Ride to York was nothing to it. Into Epsom town, up the chalky hilly little road on to the course, put up the mare, and (still dreaming), right into the ring I go, and take 3 to 1 to a lenner about Trumpeter of F— B—tt. Then, after twice asking, the eighteen runners are fairly started for the Derby ; round Tattenham-corner they come like a flash of greased lightning—The Land, Muajid, Glen Luce, Cavendish, Actaeon, are all roared out in turn. But I am fascinated by and keep my eye on a certain purple cap that is gradually creeping up from the rear ; the cap gains a clear length and a-half at the road ; this gain is doubled at the back end of the Stand, the jockey now gathers him self and horse up—raises his whip—down it comes—the thwack is heard all over the din and roar—the purple cap is seen high in the air, it rushes past them all, and the Derby of 1859 is won by ALFRED DAY ON TUUMPETEIL. I then (still dreaming) go up to F. B. for my £4O, and, " Why, what little game are you up to now ?" is squalled in my ears. I open my eyes, and find "alas! that it is all a dream I" " Brevity" of the Weekly Times prefers PROMISED LAND, TRI'MPETER, and PHANTOM, and says :—" Those of your readers who have followed the advice I always gave, and backed The Promised Land to win, and Trumpeter for a win and place, will have raade the best investment I can see for the Derby of 1859." The Sunday Times says :—" The success of Promised Land is deemed by many persons—sound and practical judges, too—to be a foregone conclusion. We have, however, stated our reasons for withholding our confidence from him, and the arguments which we have used cannot readily be disproved. Only his success can convict us of an error of judgment. We shall, therefore, have the temerity not even to assign him a place. Our Derby Day-dream shapes itself into this form : Trumpeter Defender , Actleon— Close upon their heels may be blusjid, Electric, and Bal namoon." .. 2 The Review, after analysing the respective merits of those likely to start, sums up thus :—" We have now waded through the list of those that have the semblance of a pros pect of responding to Mr. Hibburd's mandate, and are still of the opinion, expressed by us for weeks back, that the great champion of Wednesday next will be furnished by ONE of the DAYS ; but in the present state of affairs we will not venture confidently to assert which of the twain ; it would be folly to do so, though we are inclined to fancy that it will be William Day, with his Pnoattstn LAND. If it should happen that the brothers are to 11 vanquished, pro bably the victor may be found in ELECTRIC. The Field favours PROMISED LAND, and remarks : "Many changes will of course take place before the long looked for day arrives, but our present opinion is that THE PROMISED LAND Will win the Derby ; and we should not be surprised to find that hard work and hard ground had caused Trumpeter to ' sound a retreat,' and to see Alfred Day mounted on the crack next Wednesday. Enfield is our pick from the outside division ; some people say he is a roarer—we have not heard him. Gaspard will run for ward. We have now looked through the list, and fancy there will be about 31. The sporting prophet of The Sun has gone to Epsom to "take stock" of the different Derby candidates, and will give his opinion to our readers on Monday or The day. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

The total loss by fire of the Datriada, while on her voyage from Bombay for Liverpool, is thus reported by the captain : " The lialraida sailed from Bombay, Feb. 3 (seed, cotton, and oil), for Liverpool, having a crew of 36 men all told ; and Capt. Ewing having also his wife and child on board. They had .a pleasant voyage with light winds up to March 1, being in lat. 9.50 S., and long. 69 E., w h en at 5 p.m. an alarm of fire was raised, and smoke was found to be forcing its way from under the covers of the chain pipes for ward ; these being taken off, the ship was found to be all in flantes on the port side, as far as could be seen. All hands set to work to pour water down through holes cut in the deck, but in spite of the most strenuous efforts, at midnight the fire was spreading very rapidly over to the starboard side, and working more slowly aft ; also the foremast commenced to burn, although some hands had been pouring water upon it from the time of the dis covery of the fire. At this time there were two feet of water in the well, which was attributed to the quantity of water poured down, as the ship pre viously was making little or no water. The scuppers were stopped up, and the decks flooded to keep them cool, and water ran down through the holes that had been cut forward. At 1 a.m., on sounding the pumps, the ship was making no more water than usual. About this time a crackling noise was heard, close to the water's edge, a little abaft the forerigging, and on examination they found the pitch boiling out of the seams, the smoke oozing through, and the planks scorching hot. Finding the fire to be increasing, and working aft very rapidly, the decks, fore and aft, as far as the front of the poop, scorching hot, and ''the pitch in several places melting in the seams, although there were two or three inches water on deck, and expecting every moment t o see t h e fl ames bursting up fore a n aft, the longboat and lifeboats were got out, in preparation for abandoning the ship. At 3 a.m. there were 3!, feet of water in the well, and the flames were bursting up forward as high as the topmast stays, setting fire to the sails, the smoke and flames driving all hands aft. At 4 a.m. a heavy squall struck the ship, causing the flames to burst up with redoubled fury, with vo lumes of smoke filling the poop and cabin_ The ship was put before the wind, which cleared the cabin of smoke, and enabled them to get some pro visions on deck to take in the boats. At six o'clock there were 9 feet water in the well, the fire having burned through the ship's side close to the water's edge, and the flames bursting up the port bilge pump and poop ventilator. All hope of saving the ship being lost, the boats were got alongside. At 7 a.m.,the ship gradually settling down forward, and the foremast beginning to totter, all hands got into the boats and pushed off from the ship. In about 15 minutes the flames burst up fore and aft. At 8 a.m. and at 9 o'clock the main and mizen masts fell with a tremendous crash and the ship was enveloped in one mass of flame. The crew being divided into three boats, made sail, and stood to the north-east ward, hoping to meet with a ship, or to fetch sonic of the isles in the Chagos Archipelago. Next day, finding that the small boat could not sail so well as the others, the people were taken out of her, and she was set adrift and they proceeded on their way, the captain, his wife and child, and 21 men in the longboat, and chief mate with 13 men in the life boat. Providentially they encountered only fine weather, and for five weary days and nights they held anxiously on their course ; and .in the after noon of the sixth day from leaving the burning wreck, all being well, they reached the island of Diego Garcia, where there are three cocoa oil manufactories, by the managers of which they were most kindly and hospitably received and cared for. The captain describes their kindness, and especially that of his entertainer, Mons. Gassian, as beyond all expression. Here, too, they were so for tunate as to find the Futteh Salaam, Capt. Croad, who had put in for water for the coolies on board. The captain received them on board his ship, and treated them with the greatest kindness on their passage to Calcutta, and Capt. Ewing desires to take the opportunity publicly to express the gratitude felt by him and his crew, both to Capt. Croad and to their kind hosts at Diego Garcia." THIS DAYS MARKETS.
