In the Discou n t Market to-day there is still an demand for accommodation, and full rates have to be paid for the negotiation of commercial bills. At the Bank of England yesterday there were no gold operations of importance. , This week the movement of the precious metals have been on a rather limited scale. The imports have represented about £361,863, chiefly from New York and Australia ; while the exports hare been • to the extent of £169,302, the greater portion of which has been sent to the East Indies and the Continent. At a meeting of the directors of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company held yes terday, it was determined to recommend, at the next general meeting of shareholders, a dividend ,at the rate of 10 per cent. The first steamer of the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Royal Mail Company, the Kaikoura, left Plymouth on the Bth inst. for Sydney and New Zealand ; the second, the Ruahine will sail on the gist for the colonies. The Rakaia will sail for Plymouth on the 15th April. The subsidy for the line is £llO,OOO per annum. Two o'CLocic. According to Reuter's telegram the French Three per Cent.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Common Jury.) WALTON V. WATSON* AND OASTLER. This was a suit by a husband who is the proprie tor of the Unicorn public-house at Worcester, for a dissolution of his marriage, on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, and there was no defence. From the statement of counsel it appeared that the parties were married in 1854, and that the petitioner was 29 and the respondent about 18 at that time. They lived happily together, but the petitioner unfortunately introduced the co-respon dent, who then held the position of manager of gas works at Worcester, to his private house. There was no doubt that the illicit intimacy was in existence in 1859, although there was reason to believe it commenced earlier, and continued until the spring of 1861. The parties were seen fre quently walking together, and were actually detected in an improper situation, but the husband did not discover the wife's misconduct until May, 1864, when a box was left for her at the Unicorn. She was then on a visit at Hereford, and he opened it thinking it might contain some things she would wish to have for warded to her, when he found a letter from Oastler to Mrs. Walton, and upwards of 200 letters from her addressed to Oastler. These letters left no doubt as to the criminality of the parties, and from a passage in one of them it appeared that the respondent was endeavouring to procure abortion, she being pregnant of a child, of which eke considered the co respondent the father. John Hughes said that he had known the peti , tioner for ten years, and that he was very kind and affectionate to his wife. He identified the letter produced as being in Oastler's handwiting. He was with the petitioner when he made the discovery of hiswife's misconduct, and he was deeply affected. Two witnesses were called to prove the adultery, and the letters found in the box were proved to be in the handwriting of Mrs. Walter. It was also proved that letters had been passing between the parties for years. Mr. Rea, a solicitor, of Worcester, proved to having seen the co-respondent at an inn in Worces ter in May, 1864. He told him that Mr. Walton had discovered the illicit intercourse between him and his wife, and that it had been going on for years. He admitted the fact, and said it was un fortunate the discovery had been made just as the connection was about to terminate. (Laughter.) Oastler had £270 a year and a house and coal free, but at present he was confined in Wakefield Gaol, having been sentenced to five years' penal servitude for defrauding his employers. He considered that he was a man who could always gain a good live lihood. The learned Judge, having summed up, the jury immediately found a verdict for the petitioner, with £l,OOO damages. Decree nisi, with costs against the co-respondent. PAYTON V. PAYTON AND CLEGG. This was the petition of the husband, a cabinet carver, for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, a boot and shoe manufacturer, in Ilolywell-street, Strand, and damages were laid at £5OO. The case was undefended. Dr. Swabey was counsel for the petitioner. It appeared that the parties were married in January, 1854, and that there were two children issue of the marriage. It was proved that the co respondent was in extensive business, and had houses in different parts of the metropolis. Thejury assessed the damages at £4OO, and the Court pronounced the decree nisi with costs. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) NASH V. PINK. This was an action to recover £2O, the value of a quantity of fish supplied to the defendant, Mrs. Pink, a shopkeeper, of Surrey. His Honour asked an attorney who appeared for the defendant what was the answer to this case? The attorney said that, as the Court must per ceive, Mrs. Pink was a widow. The goods had not really been supplied to her, but to her late husband, who was alive at the time when they were delivered. Plaintiff's representative observed that, although this might be the case, still the widow who was now sued:had possession of her late husband's effects. His Honour asked if she had taken out letters of administration. Defendant's attorney said she had not as there was nothing to administer. Mrs. Pink deposed that her late husband died very badly off, not leaving sufficient to pay his funeral expenses. His Honour considered that there was consider able difficulty about the case. It was clear that the goods had not been supplied to defendant upon her own account, but to her late husband during her lifetime. That being so, it was open to the plaintiff to sue defendant, as she had not taken out letters of administration as executrix de son tort, but as she lived in Surrey such a proceeding would clearly deprive this court of all jurisdiction. He thought, under the circumstances, that it would be better for the plaintiff to abandon the present pro ceedings, putting up with the first loss, rather than incur further expenses. As the case stood plaintiff must be now nonsuited. variably put the date on the stamps. The receipt in the ledger is not my writing. Mr. Knox—l think the practice of putting the date on the stamps would be of great use, as it would prevent old stamps being re-used. Henry Dawson, 301 A, having proved taking the pri soner into custody, when he said ho was going to Messrs. Kempton's the next day, Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, who seemed in a very dejected state, and said he had no questions to ask. It is believed that. the prisoner's defalcations amount to about £3OO. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—March 9. (Before Mr. Payne.) Isaac Maskell, 20, labourer, and Charles Roberts, 20, boot closer, were placed in the dock, indicted for stealing six table-cloths and other articles, the property of William Beresford, and the said Chas. Roberts for assaulting Joseph Shaw, a police-con stable, in the execution of his duty, whereby his leg was broken. Messrs. Cooper and Brook prosecuted (in structed by the Treasury) ; the prisoners were un defended. Mr. Inspector Dafter, S division, watched the case on behalf of the police authorities of Scotland-yard. By the evidence it will be seen that this was a savage and unprovoked assault. Joseph Shaw, 78 Y, who appeared in court upon crutches, and whose leg was covered with surgical bandages, said —On Monday evening, the sth ult., at a quarter-past 7, he saw the prisoners in Suffolk street, Old St. Pancras-road, accompanied by ano ther, each carrying a bundle of clothes. A quan tity of wet linen was stolen from the back garden of the prosecutor's house. He took hold of Roberts, and asked him what he had got there, and he said, " Only what I picked up." Witness said he should take him to the station and be satisfied that it was true. The prisoner Roberts then turned round and threw his arms around him, and a scuffle ensued, and they both fell. He threw both his legs round his, and they fell again, and witness's leg coming in contact with the kerb, his leg was broken. Wit ness struggled to his feet 'again, seized the prisoner, and they got across the road to the other side of the pavement, where they fell once more. The prisoner then commenced striking witness on the face, but the latter having hold of him by the collar his arm was in the way, and the blows fell upon his chest and arm. Witness called loudly for help to some persons passing, but they took no notice and went on, and he was compelled to let the prisoner go. After a while several constables came up and wit ness was taken to the hospital, where he remained about three weeks. The prisoner Roberts then got away, and he gave the bundle he had taken from him to a man. James Harrison, 12, Ashley-street, King's-cross, greengrocer, said he saw the prisoner struggling with the prisoner Roberts, and received from the constable a bundle of wet linen. He did not assist the constable, because he held the bundle. (Sensa tion.) If he had put that down some one might have run away with it. Mr. Payne condemned this witness for not assist ing the constable. He thought he should disallow him his expenses. Sergeant Older, 16 Y, said he apprehended the prisoner Maskell, and told him that he was charged with stealing linen and assaulting a constable. He said he did not assault the constable ; he had been to the station once before for the linen, and was not identified. When placed in a cell he shouted out " Charlie, they've got me in." The other pri soner answered, " What for ?" and he said " For that snow (linen)." Roberts asked him where he had " planted " it, and he said " Through the arch near Ben Caunt's." Several witnesses were examined, who proved that the prisoner Maskell had been dealing with some of the linen, and that the property belonged to the prosecutor. Dr: Langmore, of University Hospital, proved that the injuries the constable had received were of a serious nature. The jury immediately found the priSoner guilty. William M‘ Math, 36 Y, said he was present at the Middlesex Sessions in November, 1863, when the prisoner Roberts was tried and convicted of felony. lie produced a certificate of the conviction. Other convictions for felony having been proved against the prisoners, Mr. Payne said it was a Lad offence and sentenced the prisoner Maskell to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years, and addressing the other prisoner Roberts said he had not only stolen this property, but made it worse by the brutal violence he had used to the constable who was only doing his duty, and when charged with the offence he had the impudence to say that he had not got strength enough to break his leg, but wished that he had. The sentence on him was that he be kept in penal servitude for seven years. It was a great disgrace to the neighbourhood that such an offence should be committed in the broad highway and no one should assist the constable. Mr. Brook said it was a fact that in that neigh bourhood no one would assist the police. Mr. Payne said the grand jury had recommended the constable to rece i ve a rewar d f rom the court ; he should like to know whether the commissioners would allow him to receive one. Mr. Inspector Dafter said he believed they would. Mr. Payne then. ordered the constable to receive a reward of £5, f or which he seeme d very grateful. The prisoners, who seemed astonished at the sen tence, were then removed. Times, THE PRESIDEN T ' S V E TO. - The N ew Y or k discussing th e P res ide n t's ve t o o f th e Freedmen's B ureau Bill, says t h at i n t h e veto power lies one of the President's highest con stitutional prerogatives. When exercised upon a measure such as this— a measure affecting not only the fortunes of a race, but the political rights of eleven States, and the social and industrial condi tion of one half of the country, the grounds for it deserve the most serious and unprejudiced thought. When, in addition to these considerations, the measure vetoed is one that received the almost una nimous assent of the representatives of the poli tical party which elected the President, and to which he must look for continued support, it may be taken for granted that his action was neither hasty nor without the weightiest reasons. The latter he has set forth in his measure at length ; and it will be universally admitted that they are of such a cha racter as to justify the appreciation of them which has already been shown by the Senate. What was the object of the Freedmen's Bureau, and what the proper purpose of the bill? Simply to assure the emancipated slaves in the possession of those funda mental rights which accrued to them by the fact of emancipation. So far as, in the President's opinion, the bill went beyond this, or attempted to effect it by means that were unconstitutional, or that would be practically ineffective, or that would work damage to other public interests, he was bound to refuse it his sanction, regardless of party interest ; but at the same time he takes pains, in the opening of his Veto Message, to express his agreement with Congress in the fundamental object proposed by the bill, viz., to secure to the freedmen the full enjoy ment of their freedom and their property, and their entire independence and equality in making con tracts for their labour. With this essential unanimity of purpose, on the part of Congress and the Exesu tive, our contemporary does not see that it would be absolutely impossible to frame a measure upon which both parties should agree. it is our belief that this will yet be done, and that the silly exulta tion of the faction which sees in the veto the es tablishment of an irreparable breach between the President and the Union party, will be followed by a disappointment as pitiful as any they have pre viously had. FRONTIER THIEVES. The Montreal Gazette of the 22d Feb. states that on the previous day the Montreal police received the following telegram from one of their number stationed at Stanbridge, a Canadian vil lage near St. Armand, Ilissisquoi, within seven or eight miles of the American line :—" Attack made last night and attempt to rob Stanbridge bank. Assailants beaten off after exchange of shots. One of the assailants and one of the bank clerks wounded. Assailants escaped into United States." The police had before received intimation that a Fenian "raid" in this direction might be expected from the neighbourhood of St. Alban's, Vermont. LONDON GAZETTE —Last Eveung.

CHARGE OP CONSPIRACY.—The two men named Allen and Essex were placed at the bar this morning, on remand charged with conspiring to defraud certain parties in tho country by falsely advertising that they were in a position to grant loans of money. The plan was to advertise in the papers, offering to lend money, and on receiving applications to return a favourable answer, and enclosing half a cheque for the amount required and intimating that the remaining half would be forwarded on receiving the expenses, which in some cases they made out to £l2 or £l4. The money was sent, but the re mainder of the cheque was never sent, and the whole thing turned out to be a fraud. A witness named Byrne proved the handwriting of the letters, regarding a loan of £5O, in which the above system had been pursued, to be that of the prisoner Allen. There are various other charges against the prisoners. Mr. Vaughan remanded the case till next Saturday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST AN ADVERTISEMENT CLERK. —Henry Baynes, clerk, in the employ of Messrs. Riving tons, booksellers, of Waterloo-place, was brought before Mr. Knox, charged with obtaining by false pretences from Mr. Francis Hansard Rivington a cheque for £ll 12s. 6d., with intent to defraud. Mr. Wontner, jun., appeared for the prosecution, and in opening the case, said he was only prepared to go into one case that day, but he was assured there would be several others, one being that of forgery. The system pursued by the prisoner had been going onfor a long time, the accounts being falsified in some instances, while in o th ers moneys had been taken out of old account books and placed to the now accounts. Mr. Francis Hansard Rivington, of the firm of Messrs. Rivington, Waterloo-place, said—The prisoner has been about three years clerk in our employ, and it is his duty to examine the accounts for advertising in different papers, and on his informing me of the amounts I gave him cheques to pay them. He had had advertised in Notes and Queries, and on the 24th Feb., the prisoner 'came to me iu the counting-house and brought me a memoran dum. On it was written Notes and Queries, £ll 12s. Gd., and the number of the page on the advertising ledger on which the receipt was to be taken. On the prisoner re turning in'a few minutes with the ledger under his arm, as if persons were waiting to be paid, I gave a cheque for the amount. On the Ist of March I received a letter from the Editor of Notes and Queries. In consequence I referred to the ledger and saw the amount £ll 12s. Gd. was entered as the amount duo to Notes and Queries. When accounts are paid at our house receipts should be placed to the amount in the book produced. In consequence of the letter I spoke to' the prisoner, and asked for the account of Notes and Queries, and he took up a bundle of accounts and pretended to be looking for it. I left the room for a short time, and on sending a clerk afterwards for the prisoner I found that. he had left the house, and I saw no more of him till to-day. I received the cheque I gave the prisoner to pay to Notes and Queries back through my bankers. Mr. Wm. Greig Smith, publisher of Notes and Queries, said—Messrs. Itivington advertise in our periodical. On the 24th February £5 9s. was due from them. On Monday, the 26th, the prisoner called at our office and handed me a cheque for £ll 12s. 6d. to take the amount. I gave him the balance, and I signed a receipt on the bill over a stamp. I think the "G. W. Srni—" is my writing, but not the " th." I do not think the stamp is the same, as I in- WHITEHALL, 31Ancii 7, The Queen has been pleased to present the Rev. J.

About one o'clock this morning a fire of a very alarming nature, and attended with considerable loss of property, took place in the victualling esta blishment belonging to Mr. Strowd, 17, Ferdinand street, Kentish Town. The inmates having been aroused they happily effected a safe retreat. Con ductor Douglas attended with the Royal Society's escape, and numerous engines of the parish, the metropolitan brigade, and the land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co. Plenty of water having been procured, the firemen went to work, but they were unable to get the fire extinguished until the bar was burnt out and the other portions of the building much damaged. The origin of the fire is unknown. Another fire took place in the premises belonging to Mr. More, a basket Manufacturer, carrying on business at No. 45, Webber-road, Waterloo-road. In the course of a few minutes, the flames, owing to the highly inflammatory nature of the stock in trade, spread with amazing rapidity, and very speedily the fire shot high in the air causing great alarm amongst the inmates of the Magdalen Hospital and the surrounding streets. Conductor Garner and Sell, promptly arrived with two of the Royal Society's escapes, and also head engineer Medcalf, followed with one of Shand and Mason's land steamers. Numerous others of the Metropolitan Brigade followed, and water having been procured from the Lambeth Company, the firemen went to work in an admirable manner, but they were unable to get the conflagration extinguished until the whole of the workshops and their contents were consumed, One of the firemen bad a narrow escape, by falling into a pit of water used for wetting the twigs, and he became immersed up to his neck, and one of the escape men also beeame immersed up to his stomach. The origin of the fire is unknown. A strong body of police, under Mr. Superinten dent Webb, rendered great assistaace to the firemen by keeping a great crowd out of danger.

Fitz-Maurice, R.N., fifth son of the Earl and Countess of Orkney. ABDICATING WITH DIGNITY.—It is said that when Prince Couza and his wife left Bucharest, they were, to all appearance, as unconcerned as if they worn about to take a holiday trip. Both the prince and princess had cigars in their mouths when they entered their carriage. A brother-in-law of Hughes, the negro minstrel, who was recently murdered in Montreal, has received in formation that Hughes and an English captain got into an argument as to the relative merits of the Northern and Southern people in reference to the late rebellion. Words ran high, and an ex-rebel officer interfered in the quarrel and made use of insulting epithets, whereupon Hughes knocked him down. On the latter regaining his feet ho fired at Hughes with a revolver, the ball passing through from the right to left side and piercing the lungs. Mr. J. T. Hart, the sculptor, now in Florence, writes that his statue of Henry Clay, designed for the Louisville Court-house, will be soon completed.

DESPATCH OF THE BRAZILIAN MAILS.—SOUTH AMPTON, Friday.—The Royal Mail Company's steamship Oneida, Captain Woolcott, sailed this afternoon with tho monthly mails for Lisbon, St. Vincent, Bahia, Pernam buco, Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, Buenos' Ayres, &c. She took out 54 passengers and a general cargo, including £5,000 in gold, £B,OOO in bar silver, £1,025 English jewel lery, and £5,702 French jewellery. ACCLIMATISATION. The inhabitants of several cantons of Switzerland aro now occupied with the idea of acclimatising the reindeer. For that purpose they have already procured several pairs from Norway. A soc iet y has been formed to promote that object. The Houston Telegraph of late date says that many of the planters declare that their hands never accom plished so much work before, were never more obedient or better disposed, and, the wind and weather favouring, they will make more cotton this year than they ever made in any one year before. It thinks this can be made the ex perience of all, if matters are properly managed. What is wanted is attentive employers and a certainty of reward for labour. It says :—The demand for labourers on the plan tations is greater than the supply, and we seo scores of planters seeking freedmen. Many of the planters pay a premium for every labourer obtained, and some men are doing a thriving business in securing them. We met a planter from Grimes County yesterday, who informed us that he would plant more cotton this season than in any one season prior to the war, and would employ thirty per cent. more labourers. He informed us that many of his neighbours will do the same thing, and this is the cause of labourers being,so scarce. Nearly all the planters have been stimulated to raise cotton the coming season on ac count of the high price the staple brings, and many argue that the price of cotton will not be less than twenty-five cents per pound for several years hence, and as the majority of the planters have sufficient farming utensils to last them some time they have gone to work to retrieve their lost fortunes in negro property. The Niagara (Canada) Mail announces that the American Government has taken the necessary precaution to put a stop to Fenian or other raids which may be attempted by giving instruction to the officers stationed at Fort Niagara to be on the alert, and fire upon parties who may make any attempt at a raid on that side of the river. The other side of the river is regularly patrolled by effi cient guards, and the Mail says should any attempted raids take place the parties concerned will have a warm recep tion, both back and front. A gentleman who has just returned to Mobile sn bile from a trip among the planters in the river co u io Central Alabama reports that since the hlsvte been taken of January negroes have been anxious to contract ,and by planters at fair prices, and that the hear er s dema a nd for labour eiSfSao single great tuhnreOmligphlnythedatfsreectionantha t he duringhis did not see or u mb t Numbers going to of negroes have voluntaril e ; l : ni loft Mobile for the purpose o work upon plantations in the cotton-raising di s tricts of the State. • THE PRESIDENT'S LAST SPEECH. TIIC New York Times maintains that the President's speech —in its general tone, in the leading thought and principle which it asserts —is one which will arrest the attention and command the assent of the great body of the American people. Its language is strong, direct, manly, and such as no inan can mistake or misinterpret. It adds, " The President lays aside all the factitious dignity with which his high office invests him, and talks, directly, frankly, and with the powerful emphasis of unmis takable sincerity, to the people of the dangers which menace the country, 'and of the duty which de volves upon them to avert them. And the people everywhere will respond heartily and zealously to these noble and patriotic declarations. They know the sincerity of the man who makes them, and they will stand by him in his determination to carry them into effect." THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. SPORT ING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

Trout Breeding in Windsor C reat P ark. - There are twcior three hundred acres of artificial water on the royal domain ; the oldest piece of which is a small lake near the east end of Virginia Water, where an old monastery stood in Henry the Eighth's time. They are all stocked with jack, carp, tench, &c., some of which are of a very great age. About a year ago it was thought that something better might be done, and that one good trout lake would be worth all the remainder, if that could be managed. Many consultations were held over the subject, and Mr. Frank Buckland was called in to advise. The Obelisk Pond was selected, because it had a gravelly and sandy bottom, and a nice little stream running through it. This Obelisk Pond is eighteen acres in extent, and there being only two smaller ponds up above it, it was decided to dry the whole out. A beginning was made at the upper ponds, which were laid dry, and every fish taken out ; then the Obelisk Pond itself was served in a similar manner. This was done in February, 1865, as it was thought advisable to prevent the jack spawning for the season. No water was allowed to remain in any of the ponds for some weeks. About five or six cart loads of jack and carp were taken out, placed in a cart with a straw bed, and taken away into another lake. In the spring of 1865 a temporary hatching ap paratus was knocked up of wood, and a small stream of pure water, as much as would fill a half inch pipe, was turned on. A consignment of eggs was then brought by Mr. Buckland, almost entirely of the Great Lake trout of Geneva, which he thought would do best in the Obelisk Pond. The ova were put in the boxes, and watched by the fisherman. In due time they came to life, with their little storehouse of provisions attached to them ; not very elegant, certainly, but very useful ; like the canny Scotehmen, two hundred years ago,who always went out to flight with their bag of oatmeal on their backs. After about a month the fish were taken out of the boxes and put into the nursery, which was a trough, 12 feet l ong, two feet wide, and one foot six inches deep, with the stream from the hatching boxes flowing through it. Some young salmon and sea trout were added to them. The fisherman fed them with bits of fine biscuit and eggs, rubbed into em more e oelbow andve d to crumbs ; a littl e l a t er i n th e summer, a t M r . Buck land's advi ce , h e h ung up a d ea d ra bbit, or rat, or jackdaw, and l e t th e maggo t s d ro p into the water. If the food reac h e d th e b o tt om before they caught it , they sportsmen, did shot seem their to care a bout it, but, like true game flying. Some water cresses and green weed were p ut in for them, to large nnuginktree trout oft required t shelter them from the su n, and to give them the ethem kingfishers w e r chance of catching a s tra y fly. A wire guard was also put over them to p out h herons. About so sniaJuly a thea rg young b and an other fish-pond,which could eprotected ; room, by November they could eat a good big worm, and when one was put in the clear water, the little ras cals would hold a regular good tough battle over it, and tug and pull at one another. Messrs. Buckland and Ponder lately decided that the fish must be put out into the wide world and shift for themselves. The largest of - them were nearly three inches long, and the smallest about one inch. The lake trout are the largest, and full of energy and mischief. They have all, therefore, been taken carefully out of their summer quarters, and introduced to the Obelisk Pond, where they will find many a wonder awaiting them. As the lake has been down all summer, there is a fine feeding ground ready in the shape of rushes and other plants, which will, no doubt, in due time, yield insects in abundance for the fish to eat. The salmon and sea trout were also put into the Obelisk Pond. We wonder what they will do when their migratory habits (evidently of Scotch nature again) come strong upon them? Au exceedingly pretty rustic house has been erected ill a valley in Windsor Forest, near the pond, for the hatching-season of 1866, and the hatching troughs have again been stocked, under the manage ment of Mr. Frank Buckland, with Great Lake trout ova (presented by the French Government establishment at Huuingue), and with ova of trout and salmon from various parts of the United Kingdom. pBO.
