TIMES.—The pressure for mo ney has much increased in the City, and it falls in a great measure upon those who are least able to bear up against it—the second class of credits. Bills, as good as any that could be presented, .which would be taken in ordinary times in pre ference to all others, have either been refuscd discount, or have had unreasonably hard terms imposed upon them. This is a state of things which cannot long exist without injury, and the first hint of a remedy is naturally to be looked for from those who most suffer by It. An extension of the purchases for investment on the account of the railway deposits, or such promptness of decision by the Committees of Parliament as would bring out the funds de posited into circulation again, either by employment or by re-distribu tion from rejected lines, would be hailed as a seasonable relief by the moneyed interest ; but as these arc now in very limited operation in deed, some other modes of getting money out of the Bank must be thought of. The directors, it is well known, would make advances to a much greater. oxtent were they: not restrained by their liabi lity at the shortest notice to have any amount of the railway deposits drawn ; and any plan, therefore,' for suspending that liability would produce almost immediate relief. Many of the managers of railway companies, rather than make purchases of Stock and Exchequer-bills in the market under the disadvantages lately experienced, have advised letting their deposits re main untouched, arguing that if by this course they can make no profit, they will be effectually protected against loss. Now, it has been suggested that if the Bank, departing, under this very peculiar state of things, from their usual practice, would allow only a small rate of interest upon the railway deposits, the employment of them for a fixed period would be most readily and thankfully placed at their disposal. There has occurred a kind of precedent for this in the transactions with the East India Company a few years back, which had accumulated a large sum from the sales of their stock and goods, and other property ; and the Bank, rather than leave this to an irregular and uncertain action on the Mouey-market, consented to allow interest upon it. There was much less necessity for it then than there is at the present moment, and the suggestion is thought altogether so likely to have a beneficial effect, that hopes are expressed that the directors will entertain it. The supposed rate which ought under these circumstances to be allowed, is fixed at two per cent. ; and as this, with the high current rate of money, will make it a very pro fitable banking operation, it will most probably be submitted to the consideration of the board at their next meeting ; and if no rules of the Accountant-General's office stand in the way, it is; believed to have a fair chance of adoption. Certainly no o bj ec ti ons 'to it are to be looked for on the part of the railway companies, who would, on the contrary, most of them eagerly accede to such a proposal, and grant a very liberal limit as to time. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. It has ben intimated this morning that the suggestion of a payment of interest on railway deposits by the Bank, for the immediate pur pose of obviating the present great pressure for money, is one that the directors will not give the slightest countenance to. That the board should object to pay for the use of the deposits se long as they haveany prospect of attaining the same end gratis, 'is so natural and reasonable, that nothing can be said against it; but it is obvious that if these large stuns continue to be thus locked up, so that they cannot be used, so much inconvenience and mischief will arise as to force something of the kind upon them. Those who argue in favour of this course aro not at a loss for parallel cases, even though that of the East India Company, adverted to yesterday, is put aside. The locking up of these funds is just the same thing as though the Govern ment had raised a loan to the same extent, and kept it undisturbed ill the Bank. Something of this sort occurred in the time of the West India Loan, in principle at least, though not reaching to near the same amount ; but all capitalists and dealers la money will recollect what urgent applications were made to Mr. Spring Rice to let it out again, when au arrangement was made by which the Bank" allowol Interest to the Government, but took in the scrip at a turn of a quar ter per cent., by which, at that time, very large profits were reaiised, and the Treasury was taxed with improvidence and waste of the public money for having allowed it; and yet that was defended on the plea that the circulation must be relieved, or worse conse quences ensue, The present state of monetary affairs has no parallel with anything that ever existed before, since banking and paper cir culation commenced ; and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer does not see this, and interpose with some recommendation which he alone can originate, is a subject of general surprise in the City. Substantially, and apart from railway speculations, trading credits were never in a sounder condition, and yet hundreds must break down and the ruined for want of that accommodation which no banker will now give, and which has formed for years past the ruling principle of his business. There can be no greater cruelty than in the destruction of this useful and valuable class of men be cause the great balk of the community have gone mad in railway speculations, and all the funds they could scrape together are placed In close keeping, while some point of etiquette is adjusting between the Accountant-General, the railway managers, the Treasury, and the Bank of England as to the manner in which they can be made useful in the ordinary way to the service of trade. All parties seem to be rigidly bent on not making any move at present, and this in difference is regarded by many as the forerunner of a crisis, to meet which all remedy may be too late. As it is now the fashion for great authorities to change their opinion under a change of circumstances, the case is not, perhaps, yet quite hopeless. - The premium on gold at 'Paris is 12.! j per mills, which at the English Mint price of 3!. 17s. 10%d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 46 ; and the exchange at l'aris on London at short being 25 65, it (allows that gold is 0.74 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4353, , , per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3!. 17s. 101. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 . 10 1 i ; and the exchange at ilambnrgri on London at short being 13 12, it follows that gold is 0.79 per cent. dearer in London than at Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 108% per cent., and the par of exchange between England and :America being 109 23 40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.83 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at GO days' sight, the interest must be dedueted from the above differ ence. THE LATE TRAGEDY IN CAMBERWELL. The lad V. Moreau had a coMfortable night's rest, and the wound, which had been sewn up by Mr. Pratt, surgeon, presented all the appearances of being likely to heal up very speedily: sanguine hopes are entertained of the lad's recovery. Mrs. Moreau, as may be expected, is in a very precarious state.

GREAT FIRE.—LIVERPOOL, FEB. 17.—At two o'clock this afternoon an alarming lire broke out in a corn and cotton ware house, in a street called the Back Gorge, in which all the buildings are large warehouses. It originated in the third store, in which some porters had been employed before dinner, and as they were prohi bited to work except by the light of locked 'anthems, it is supposed that some of them must have been smoking and left a pipe behind them. The flames were very rapid, and in a few minutes the fire ascended through the four upper stories, threatening all the ware houses on each side, and opposite. In the rear there was nothing but warehouses ; these were in no danger. The fire police, with se veral powerful engines, under the command of Mr. Dowling and Mr. Hewitt, were promptly on the spot, but were compelled to direct their whole efforts to prevent the fire from extending. Fortunately, the warehouse itself, as well as those on each side, were what are called fire-proof, that is between each - building arose a wall three feel. above the roof, and this most effectually protected the adjoining roofs, and enabled the firemen to play, under their directions, on the flames. In less than twenty minutes the warehouse was completely gutted. It was the property of Mr. Harbord, and was filled with cotton, corn, sugar, and tallow. All the parties are insured, and the loss will not exceed 20,0001. There is a rumour afloat that in the event of Captain Rout being defeated to-day in Westminster, the Gallant Officer will be put in nomination for East Suffolk to-morrow Morning, when tile election is to take place of a Member in the room of Lord Henniker, who has resigned his seat. .

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. SMITH V. LORD FERRER& _ This case, at least that portion of it which was yesterday opened for the defendant by the long and laboured speech of the Attorney.- General, and subsequently supported by the evidence adduced up to the rising of the Court, has caused it to take an almost novel and extraor.. dinary turn, and the interest it had at first created appeared this morning to have increased tenfold. The rush of the crowd at the doors was tremen dous, and in a moment after they were thrown open every part of the Court was filled; but precautions had been taken to prevent the passages being filled as they were yesterday. The Solicitor- General, who Is leading counsel for Miss Smith, and who did not ap pear In Court either on Monday or yesterday, took his place this morning at the sitting of the Court. Devereux Shirley, Esq., was the first witness called—l am the only brother of Lord Ferrers. I was with my regiment in Scotland in 1844. I joined it in 1843, about the end of March. I had not leave of absetee at any time until the year 1845. I never quitted my regimentlduring that time., m I do not know Miss Smith, the plain tiff, and I never saw her to y knowledge. Ia the early part of February, 1844; I did not see Miss Smith, and say to my brother she was unwell. As I said before, I . have never seen her at all. I have never been at Brighton at all. lam nottskilfal at sketching, and I never drew in my life. I would not be able to sketch the naked shoulders of three Scotch ladies.—(Laughter.) I am not acquainted with Lord Claude Hamilton. He did not call for me in the year 1844 at my brother's room. I never heard of such a person. The two letters marked Y, now handed me, I never wrote. I neverjwrote a letter of any sort to Miss Smith. I did not inset her at Ashby in 1844. I never had any conversation with her about a bonnet, and never gave her or anybody else a note to put in the bonnet-box. The COURT —That note has not been put in. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL —No, my Lord. (To the witness) —I never gave a note to anybodyat any time to put in a bonnet-box to Miss Smith. I never sent a " jascyrith" ring from my brother to Miss Smith, or to anybody else. The ring now shown me I have never seen before. (Here the Attorney-General read the extract of the alleged letter of Lord Ferret's to plaintiff, stating that this ring the defendant took from his hand while in bed, and sent it to plaintiff by t he e th w e i l t e n t e t s e s r? .) l l w w it a s s i t i h o c t i at i t in m seo y b u rl n h d e . es l h h ed a t e de n a e ct e h r e re ti c i e n i e s. all ed e a g n et y l letters from my brother signed otherwise than " Tamworth" or I 3 n l :C.l ' leri7kiii:erwwl7l: nt writeh e l o t r a o l i habit of cabling. p :fd epeipr l t. h v never Zitnv hhn to lose a farthing at earth% o 'g let ln' te clthrr rs lie L gs. : shown me are not In his writing. Cross-examined by Mr. Cuammats have no letters of my bro ther's with me. I saw some of his letters on Saturday night in the possession of Mr. Jessop. He showed me about twenty. My own letters arc in Oxfordshire. Before Sir. Jessep showed me these letters I had received several from my bother; there were Mr. Ell and my sister, and Mr. Wm. Ell present on Saturday night. The object was to examine my brother's handwriting. I did not look at the dates, but some of I them were written from abroad. I first joined the regiment at Paisley, thence we went teFort George, and Glasgow and Edinburgh. I have left the army since. It was when I was a little boy that I was at Austray. I know of no relative who resembles me. lam now twenty years of age. It was about a year ago that I first heard of this proceeding. My brother told me he had never seen Miss Smith in his life, and did not know who she was, and had never heard the name of Smith at Austrey. It was after I returned from Scotland he told me this. He was a young man of spirit and fun. I joined in one of his larking parties at Chartley before I joined the army. I forget what it was, it is such a time since. I have been in a boat with him at night. We were pulling round the moat. The COURT —Do you think it worth while to prosecute this at any length, after what you have heard ? Witness—l never saw before the letter now shown me. I have not the least idea of the writer of the envelope now shown me. Mr. Francis Jessop—l am attorney at Yarmouth. I was concerned for the late Lord Tamworth and his father. I was attorney for the guardians of the present Earl. I was never concerned for the present Earl. I have had a good deal of correspondence with him ; and all the money remitted to him, while he was at school or abroad, passed through my hands. I was not his confidential attorney. By the Conax—He has said he never was his attorney at all. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—We are not asking general questions, but questions in pursuance of certain expressions used in certain letters. Witness (in continuation)—The letters now shown me do not In the least degree resemble, either in the signature or in the body, the writing of Earl Ferrers ; he always wrote to me on sheets of note paper or letter paper. Mr. Hammen came to me, and showed me some letters, which I said I did not think were Lord Ferrers' writing ; but I said that in consequence of the position I was in in regard to Lord Ferrers I would not wish to say much about it. I do not recollect that any of the letters now shown me were those brought to me by Mr. Hammen, but one of them referred to a Kr. Neville. I showed Mr. Hammel' some of Lord Ferrers' letters, and he said he did not think the writing was the same. Tar ATroannv.GENEnal.--What difMr. Hammel! say? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL objected, and the question was not pressed. Cross-examined--The bodies of the letters I showed Mr. Hammell were written by Lord Ferrers ; they certainly were not written by a lady. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then said he had a few observations to make to the Court. Owing to his unavoidable absence for the last two days he had heard nothing of four letters which were produced yesterday by leis Learned Friend the Attorney-General on behalf of the defendant, and it was not until this morning, and after his Lordship had taken his seat on the bench, that he had heard of them. Those letters had also come with equal surprise noon the respectable attorney conducting the cause for the plaintiff, as well as upon the respectable family of the young lady herself. Therefore, at this most mysterious part of thiS most mysterious case, end taking into consideration the ex traordinary fact that those four \ letters had been identified by the mother of the lady herself, and that they had come by surprise upon not only the parties he had mentioned, but likewise upon his Learned Friends who were assisting him. Linder these circumstances he would pray his Lordship would be so kind as to allow him to with draw from the case. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had only anobservation to make. He had no objection to his Learned Friend adopting this course ' • but he would pray that those four l e tt ers s h ou ld b e i mpoun d ed, and that the handkerchiefs should also be placed in the custody of the officer of the Court. The Somerroa-Gzwzam. begged that all the other letters should be impounded also. COURT—Certainly. The plaintiff was then declared non-suited, and thus abruptly, and most unexpectedly, terminated, after three and a half days' in vestigation, the most extraordinary case that ever was brought into a court of justice. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) The charge against Mr. Edward Bryant Sarep, of forging office copies of documents, which has been before the Court for the last six weeks, and of which full particulars have appeased in the columns of The Swt, on each examination, was finally brought before Mr. l'orylbrd this morning. No further evidence was given and the prisoner was fully COM milted. MARKET NEWS.---(THIS DAY.)

BRAHAM.—We regret to announce the demise of Mrs. Frances Braham, the lady of the emi nent singer, which took place suddenly on the night of Sunday last, at Mr. Brahma's residence, No. 8, Gloucester-road, Victoria-gate, Bayswater. Mr. Braham had for some days been absent from town o h a professional tour in the city and neighbourhood of Southamp ton, which had proved very successful.

The Select Committee, appointed to consider the mode In which the House shall deal with railway Bills proposed to be submitted to the House during the present session, have further considered the matters referred to them, and agreed to the following report:— The number .of petitions for railway Bills, which have been pre sented this session, have been stated to your Committee to amount to 562 ; viz.:— For Railways in England and Wales 395 Scotand .. • • . • • . • • • • 120 Ireland • • • • • • • • • • • • 47 As, however, many of these schemes may fail from non-compliance with the standing orders, the number of Bills presented to Parlia ment may possibly fall considerably short of this amount, and your Committee are of opinion that it will not be necessary or expedient in the present session of Parliament to refer mere projects to Com mittee, as was done, owing to peculiar circumstances, in the last session. From a statement prepared by the officers of the Board of Trade, it would appear that if the same principle of grouping which was adopted last year should be followed in the present session, the rail way schemes in England and Wales might be formed into 51 groups, and those for Scotland into 10 ; about 6I Select Committees would therefore be required. As the House has already ordered that all Irish railway Bills and a certain limited class of English Bills (the latter of which are in cluded in the foregoing statement) should commence in the House of Lords, it is impossible to say hors• many of these may be sent down to the House of Commons. The number of groups into which rail way schemes for the. United Kingdom were divided last year was 52, but owing to various circumstances only 45 Committees appear to have actually sat. so great a number of railway Bills, in Theaddition n e c t o e s it othery of considering private id ß er il i i n s g , may certainly be expected to produce an unusual and inconvenient pressure upon the time of Members of the House ; but your Committee trust, that as Committees on rail way Bills may in this session begin to sit at an earlier period than in the last, it will not be founlimpracticable to constitute the requisite number of Committees during the progress of the session. Under these circumstances your. Committee have sot 'deemed it advisable to recommend to the House to make any selection from, or to place any limitation to the number of railway schemes to be submitted to the consideration of Parliament during the present session. _ As your Committee, however, believe that much of the time of the Select Committees on Railway 13111 s is consumed, with little public benefit, in minute and detailed inquiries into the amount of traffic and the probable profit to the projectors, your Committee are of. opinion that the standingorders on these points should be altered, and that it should no longer be obligatory on Committees on Railway Bills to make special reports on them. At the same time your Committee have no wish to fetter the dis cretion of tile Select Committees to make such inquiries as they may judge proper with regard to population, and to the extent of accom modation that would be afibrded to the public, where they consider such. information to be required. Your,Committee beg further to suggest, that power be given to Select Cammittees to refer the consideration of any unopposed Rail way Bill incltided in the group referred to them to the Chairnien of, Ways and Means and-the Members ordered to prepare and bring in the Bill, to be dealt with as other unopposed Bills.
