ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL ENTELLIGENCZ, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market to-day is firm and tolerably active. Full rates are maintained, b u t th ere i s a better feeling owing to the enormous arrivals of gold. The report of the Bank of British North America shows that the anticipations expressed in the report issued to the proprietors in December last, as to the probable results of the business of the bank for the year 1865, have been fully realised. After deducting charges and income tax, and making ample provision for all bad and doubtful debts, the net profit for the past year amounted to £77,877, which compares favourably with the amount earned in 1864 of £72,569, and in 1863 of £61,413. This enables the directors to pay, in addition to the usual half - yearly dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per a nnum, a bonus of 1 per cent. This will leave the Si nn of £7,877 6s. 3d. to be carried to the rest, which, including that addition, amounted on 30th Decem ber, 1 865, as per annexed statement, to £140,471 5 5. 4d., or, deducting the bonus now declared (say £10,000) to £130,471 ss. 4d. The report of the Anglo-Austrian Bank is favour able. The bank's deposit notes in circulation have increased ; the business in foreign bills has some what diminished, but the transactions in inland bills exhibit a considerable increase. The introduction in to Austria of the English cheque system is gradu ally finding favour with the public. The sum of 365,000 florins is proposed to be thus appropriated ---vit,lBo,ooo florins in paying to th e s h are h o ld ers a dividend of 1.80 florins per share, equal to 3s. 6d. Per share free of income tax (which, with the pay ments on account already made, will make a total dividend of 8 per cent. for the year 1865), and car rYing forward to the next account, as a special re serve fund, the sum of 185,000 florins. This ply - - tient of 3s. 6d. per share will be made by the en upon attached to the shares, and due the Ist July Proximo. Two O'CLOCK. The French Rentes, this morning, according to Aeuter's telegram, were 63f. 70c. Very agitated.

THE GOOD-NATURED HUSBAND.—The Belgian Vice- Consul made a very singular application to Mr. Paget, on behalf of a respectable man, a native of Belgium, who ac companied him, and who wanted his wife. . Mr. Paget —Where is she ? The Vico-Consul.—ln your district, sir. The man, who is a subject of my King, was married 19 years ago, and his wife eloped from him five years ago, and has been living with another man ever since. The husband has made a long and diligent search for his guilty wife, and and has jast discovered her. He wants her to return with him to Belgium. He asks your worship's interference. Mr. Paget said he had no power to interfere in the matter. Ho was not a ittle surprised, to hear of a man disposed to receive his wife again after she had been living in a state of adultery with auother man for fire yearn. The Vico-Consul said the man loved not wisely, but too well, and was very fond of his wife. Mr. Paget—So it appears, and the affection is not mutual, for she is fond of another man. I think the husband had better try and forget her. She is not worth the trouble he is taking for her. The Vice-Consul asked if the police could interfere and take the woman away from the man she was living with. Mr. Paget--No ; the police had no jurisdiction over frail wives. The only remedy here is an action in the Court of Probate and Divorce for a restitution of conjugal rights. It is a roundabout mode of proceeding, but there is no other course open to the injured husband, The Vice-Consul thanked the Magistrate, and retired with the good-natured Benedict. WESTMINSTER. ' SUPPOSED CONVICTION OF AN INNOCENT MAN AND FREE PARDON.—Mr. Selfe, on taking his seat upon the bench, this morning, drew attention to the following matter, which exhibits extraordinary peculiarities : Months ago Dominique Carroll, a youth, was charged with three others with sacrilege at St. Jude's Church, Chelsea, and committed for trial, protesting his innocence. A witness on his behalf, whose evidence was most mate rial, was not called upon the trial, and Dominique Carroll was convicted and sentenced to 7 years' transportation, as ho was at that time on a ticket of leave. About a month ago one of the real culprits in the sacrilege, believing himself at the point of deal; de clared he could not leave the earth in peace without con fessing that Carroll was innocent. This was immediately communicated to his friends, and it was stated that Carroll was working hard to obtain an honest living when falsely accused with this offence. Mr. Selfe, hearing of the mat ter, wrote to the governor of the prison (not that where Carroll was confined), and he procurino the dying delara tion of the deceased, it was forwarded forthwith to the Home Secretary, and the worthy magistrate was desired that it should bo immediately communicated to C arroll's friends that her Majesty, by the advice•of Sir Geo. Grey, had granted him A free pardon. Liverpool Cotton Marker. --.This Day. Market very strong, and prices are id. over yes ,erday's*rates. Sales, probably 15,000 bales. RESUMPTION OF WORK {ON THE HIGH LEVEL LINE or RAILWAY. — The erection of viaduct; turning arches,' and other works necessary for the completion of the extension of the high level line of railway, which has been stopped in consequence of the suspension of business by Sir Morton Peto and Co. (the contractors), was yester day resumed by Messrs. Lucas, the eminent. builders. DANTE'S "SKULL.—The Italian commissioners, in reporting on the remains of Dante (brought to light after being hid since 1321), say that " according to the laws of phrenology, Dante largely possessed the organs of bene volence, religion, veneration, independence, self-esteem, pride, conscientiousness, mechanical design, seulpure, and architecture." A rather crowded cranium; but where were the poetical qualities, ideality, wit, language, &c. EXECUTIONS IN AMERICA.—The Leavenworth Con servative gives an account of an execution in that town at very short notice. One Quinn had been sent to gaol for the murder of a policeman, and this latter being much liked and having been killed in the plain discharge of his duty, a body of the citizens proceeded to the gaol the same evening, took out Quinn, and hurried him to a neighbouring tree. As he stood under the tree•stating how he wished hisproperty dis posed of a cry was raised that troops were coming, and his statement was cut short by some 200 men hauling the rope tight with all speed. Another murderer, Cooper, has been executed at Ravenna, Ohio, with much more regularity. Indeed he ate a hot dinner an hour before the execution, and a friend was then allowed to sing to him, with violin accompaniment, a favourite song, " Oh, cast that shadow from thy brow." But a day or two before he had been in such a state of wild et;itotaont that uo one dare enter his cell, and the sheriff called in the aid of a medical gentle man, who syringed chloroform upon the prisoner through the grating of the door until he was reduced to 4 state in which irons could be put upon him. ITIES. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1866. LAW . INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco before Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Channell.) GROVES V. RICHARD. This was an action for ejectment, brought by the plaintiff to obtain possession of a house 'held by the de fendant, a widow, and was tried before Mr. Baron Martin on the 10th May last, when a verdict was returned under the Common Procedure Act, the defendant not.appearing. A rule nisi was subsequently granted to the defendant calling on the plaintiff to show cause why there should not be a new trial. The application was founded on an affi davit setting forth that she had employed a solicitor to de fend the action, and instructed him to employ counsel. Be wrote to her, stating that he considered she could not resist the plaintiff's clairn,l?efore the court, and advising her to employ another. She replied that she had not time to obtain other legal assistance, and enclosed him the fee, which, with her papers, was returned. She could not get a lawyer to take up her cause, and accordingly the action was decided against her. She also set forth that there was no written agreement between her father and Mr. Graves, the father of the deceased, and that on the demise of the latter she refused to pay or recognise the plaintiff as - her landlord, there being three other claimants to the property. The Court considered that the plaintiff was entitled to the re-hearing of the case or the payment of the costs of this application. The rule was accordingly made absolute. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, Lord Chief Baron Pollock, and Sir J. P. Wilde.) RYVES r. RYVES AND THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. The hearing of this case was proceeded with this morning. Mr. Cassel, solicitor for the petitioners, was examined by Dr. Smith, and deposed that he had inspected various monuments and archives of the University of Oxford last April. He road extracts from the printed documents, which he verified as being correct, translations from the original records, which were written in Latin. They had refer ence to the ordination of Dr. James Wilmot, and his ad mission to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Divinity, &c. Several documents were also produced to prove the mar riage of Dr. Wilmot and the birth of the alleged Princess Olive, as well as their death and burial. The birth of the female petitioner, as well as her baptism, was also proved. . _ Dr. Smith proposed to put in as evidence a sketch of Mr. S • erres, father of the female petitioner, from • a standard work entitled "Biographies Universaille," but the Court decided that it was not admissible. • The case is likely to occupy some days, notwithstand ing the opinion . expressed by the Chief Baron yesterday, and concurred in by the other judges, namely, that if the petitioners proved their legitimacy, they must invalidate the marriage of their grandmother with the Duke of Cum berland, for if the former were declared legal, then their mother would be of royal descent, and as the Royal Mar.. riage Act was then in operation, she could not contract a legal marriage without the consent of the reigning sovereign. POLICE iNTELLIGENCE.--This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CRUEL ASSAULT. —A FORGIVING COMPLAINANT.—Jane Lewis, an unfortunate, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Jane Carter, another young woman of the same The complainant, who though appearing to be badly used, yet was reluctant to punish one of her own class, said that on the previous evening she was about entering an omnibus near the County Fire Office, when the defendant came up to her, tore off her bonnet and deranged her clothes, and gave her a violent blow, she believed having something in her hand at the time, and knocked her down and badly assaulted her. Mr. Knox asked the complainant whether she knew the defendant. The complainant said she was an entire stranger to her, and she thought she must have made some mistake. Although she had been hurt a good deal she would be very sorry to have the defendant locked up. 1 Police-constable Norrish Pike, 51 0, said that at the station last night the defendant said that she was first struck by the complainant, and that she struck her from a feeling of revenge. The complainant said that she never saw tho defendan before last night, and she could not account for her con duct. In reply to Mr. Knox, the constable said the defendan was sober. Mr. Knox committed the defendant for a month, stating that he considered it 'a cruel assault. The defendant—Oh ! you wicked man. Is there no fine ? Mr. Knox said there was not. The defendant—Oh! nover mind. - Areheaological Institute. Yesterday afternoon the usual monthly meeting of the members of the Archaeological Institute was held in the rooms of the Arundel Society, New Bond street—the Marquis Camden in the chair. The first paper read was " On the Ermine and Ikenild Streets," by Mr. J. Beldam, in which he pointed out the distinction between ancient British and Roman roads, and traced the direction of the two streets the immediate subject of the paper. A paper by Mr. Waller, " On a curious brass at Cow ling Castle," was next read. The brass is fixed outside the castle, and is enamelled. Mr. J. H. PARKER then explained in an animated manner the results of some recent archaeological researches in Rome, which were illustrated by a large plan of the city, and by numerous photo graphs. Mr. Parker said his object was to show that the descriptions given of Rome by Livy were literally correct, and to protest against the system adopted by the German critics of assuming that the descriptions were erroneous, and then concocting systems of their own for which there was no real foundation. I 4 mentioned with great minuteness many points which fully bore out the accounts of Livy, and said that, taking that author for his guide, he was able to trace the original walls of the kings of Rome, the hills that were first occupied and forti fied, and the various gates and other works men tioned. The photographs, which were large, illus trated his observations, and represented the remains of some architectural works of early Rome, which indicated that the architects of the middle ages had copied most of their designs from the Romans. His researches had thrown light on several curious points of the architecture of ancient Rome, among which were evidences of the. almost general use of wood in their structures, and the alteration that took place in the mode of building after the use of lime as a cement had been in troduced which did not occur until the time of Augustus. Mr. Parker noticed also the change from the piling up of large masses of stone, which were retained in position by their own weight, and the building, with stones of smaller size, as serving to indicate different periods. A remarkable proof of the general use of wood by the Romans in making their earliest dwellings was observed in a low hut excavated from the solid rock, in which imitation beams were hewn out in the roof to resemble the customary beams of wood. Mr. Parker proceeded at considerable length to describe 'numerous other discoveries he had made, of great archaeological in terest, tending to confirm the account given by Livy of the building of ancient Rome. The Rev. Dr. ROCK mentioned, in connection with the subject, a curious discovery of some extremely valuable encaustic paintings, brought from Rome, which were recently purchased at a sale in Maryle bone as rubbish for 10s. They had since come into the possession of Mr. Richmond, who had cleaned them, and he was now in treaty for the sale of them to the trustees of the British Museum for £5,000, at which sum Mr. Rock considered they would be very cheap. Mr. E. A. FREEMAN made some observations on Mr. Parker's disquisition, protesting against receiv ing Livy's account of the foundation of Rome as an historical record. Various objects of antiquarian interest were exhi, bited and commented on before the meeting ad journed. The Killed in the Late American War. (From the Tribune.) When Abraham Lincoln, on the 15th day of April, 1861, called for 75,000 militia for three months' service, the army of the United States had the names of about 14,000 men on its rolls. During the ensuing four years 2,688,523 men were enlisted for the following periods of time For three months - 191,985 For six•months ..................... . • 19,076 For nine months 87,558 For one year 394,959 For two years 43,113 For three years 1,950,792 For four years 1,040 Total.. 2,688,523 The records of the office of the Provost-Marshal Gene ral show from what State, county, or town these men came, - and what became of each one. These records tell us that of this largo number of troops, 2,403,103 left the army alive. Some of them deserted; a few were dismissed before their term of service expired ; a glorious band went home armless, ldgless, eyeless, through :their patriotic en deavours to save their country from dismemberment. But the majority returned safe and sound to.the place of enlist ment, there to be mustered out for home. But 280,420 Men, good, true, and loyal, sealed their pa triotism liith their blood. Death met them hi every shape. Over 60,000 died on the field of battle; 35,000 survived the shock of the conflict only to die of wounds, while 184,000 died of disease in tent or hospital, or by the wayside. To give the exact figures, 96,089 died in battle or of wounds, while 184,331 died of disease. This proves that the great mortality of war does not arise from the deadly bullet. It is the hardship of the campaign, the change of mode of life, the difference in climate, that rolls up the terrible record of dead. Two ,persons died of disease in this war forovery one that fell from an enemy's. weapon. Yet this per centage of disease is far less than that of other countries and other ages. In the Crimean war, seven-eighths of the mortality of the British troops during the entire campaign were due to disease, and one-eighth only to deaths from wounds received in action. In January, 1855, the month of the greatest mortality' of that campaign, ninety-seven per cent. of the entire mortality of the • British troops re sulted from disease. "At this rate,"' says Elliott, "to supply the loss occasioned merely by' death, this army would need be replaced by a new army of equal numbers once in about ten months." The following tables show the causes of mortality in our armies during the whole war, and the arms of service in which that mortality occurred KILLED. Arms of Service. Officers. Men. EGIJLARS.

This excess of loss of life among the officers in b a ttl e i s p ar tly due to the fact that in battle they are expected to lead their men on ; and still more, it may be; that when sickness intervenes they have medicines, care, and nourishing iood that circumstances forbid to be given to the bulk of he army. The number of white troops enlisted was almost exactly 2,500,000 men; the number of deaths among them, 251,122, or one death ou t of ten. The number of coloured troops 1 of whom 29,298 di ed, or about one out of the col oured troops was there foreo rfx nearly ThelBo,ooo, double n that of the whit s; b ut the death-rate m disease was far wo rse t h a n th i s. Out foi was death-rate eaalto of every eight deaths among th e white troops three died on the field of battle, and five from dis ease. Out of• every nine deaths among- the blacks, ono died on the field of battle and eight from'disease. The negro, as slavery has left him, feeble o f w ill an d w ith b u t little moral stamina, is less capable than the white man of enduring the physical trials of the military services. The above tables show that the regular.service is .far safer, both on the battle-field and in the hospital, than the volunteer force. Out of the same number of troops of either force seven volunteers would die to six regulars ; the mortality among the former was nearly 15 per cent. greater than among the latter. - These army records give the precise number of men wh_ died while in their country's service. It does not tell ri of that great host who, dismissed at their own request fo disability, went home to die. An examination of the pen sion records would partly supply this want ; but the full number of those who gave their lives to their country can never be known. The Late Defeat of Ministers. (From the Law Times of to-day) A majority of ten instructed the committee on the Reform Bill to make provision for the better pre vention of bribery and corruption. The Govern ment bad the best of the argument, that the subjects of bribery and franchise have never yet been treated as one, and that it would be better for both to deal with them separately. But it marks the disposition of the House towards the bill, that it accepted eve n so irrational a proposition because it was likely to delay, if not to destroy, a measure which the great majority of the House detest and dread even while they vote for it. But the motion gave rise to a short debate on bribery and its remedies, which will at once interest and amuse our readers who are behind the scenes and know the truth of the matter. Mr. Gladstone affected to doubt its prevalence, and de sired the further evidence to be procured by the commissioners that are about to inquire into the convicted boroughs. But more proof is not needed. The plain fact is that bribery has grown enormously of late years ; that it is rapidly extending ; that it prevails more or less in every borough in England where there is not some predominant interest, or the combined resistance of the honest electors for bids resort to it by making its object unattainable. Mr. Staniland stated that he knew a constituency in which 750 out of 1,000 would not vote without a fee, and that the price was £35 per vote. The case is by no means uncommon. The alarming part of it is the tendency to spread. Wheresoever it is once planted it thrives apace, and cannot be rooted out. He who has cnce taken a bribe looks for it ever after ; and his neighbours soon follow the example. Even if the voter has a conscience and is reluctant to sell himself, a wife or a daughter will crave for a new dress like that which neighbour Smith's wife or daughter was well known to have bought with the sovereigns received in exchange for his vote. But how is this formidable mischief to be put down ? An extended franchise will but extend it. Penalties are not enforced ; and contrivances for evasion will keep pace with any stringency of statutes. Mr. Staniland makes a good suggestion. I-Ie says, let disfranchisement for life follow a con viction for bribery. But more effective yet would be the further provision that when a member is con victed for bribery the petitioner shall take the seat, provided he polls a certain small proportion of the constituency. We agree with Sir George Grey that severity of penalties has gone as far as it would be practicable to carry it. We should now try to make it the interest of candidates not to bribe. The subject is of great and pressing importance ; but it demands separate discussion, and distinct legislation. It cannot properly form a part of a Reform Bill. MARKETS.--This Day. COVENT GARDEN.

BAIL COURT, JUNE 1. (Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, before Ai Justice Lush and a Common Jury.) This was an action for libel brought by Edwin Parr, the celebrated trainer, against the Daily Telegraph. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and that the words were not used in the sense alleged. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. F. H. Lewis were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Sleigh were counsel for the defendant. Mr. Iluddleston, in opening the case, said that plaintiff had felt bound to bring this action, in order to vindicate his character from the serious imputation which the defendant had cast on it, and he could not help thinking that when they heard the case they would agree with him in thinking that the defendant ought, as the proprietor of a respect able journal, to make the only reparation that was now in his power, by retracting the insinua tions, and apologising for what had been pub lished. The action was only brought to vindicate the plaintiff's character, and he was then ready to 'accept an apology, with such damages as would carry costs. _ The plaintiff was a well-know❑ character, and it would appear that in 1864 Lord St. Vincent, whose trainer the plaintiff was at that time, purchased an Irish horse, Redan, for £650. The horse was trained by plaintiff, and during 1865 he won no less than £2,530 in various stakes. In August the plaintiff left Lord St. Vin cent, and on the 12th December there appeared in the Daily Telegraph an article headed " Sporting Intelligence, Turf Topics, and Derby Cracks," and in it was the following, which was the libel com plained of :—" Redan is a horse whose merits have not been properly appreciated by either the public or the backers of horses. He is undoubtedly one of the most compact and neatest and racing -like Derby colts we saw out all last season, every inch a stayer to look at, and sure to be there or thereabouts o n the Derby-day if - he does well through the winter months. During the summer he ran with varied success, but there is more than a suspicion that he was never half trained, and that Parr's pills and Telescombe cookery (the learned counsel explaining that Tclescombe was Lord St. Vincent's training ground) had prevented Lord St. Vincent from land ing several handsome stakes. Nevertheless, Redan, when only just coming into his proper form at Don caster, ran a great horse with Lord Lyon, and it was urged that he would have snatched that race out of the fire had a man been on his back instead of a fashionable light weight." The learned Judge suggested whether the matter could not be arranged. Mr. Hawkins said it never was intended that the words should convey an imputation of fraud. The learned Judge said that might be so, but still it was for the jury to say whether the words con veyed some mismanagement which was liable to injure the plaintiff in the way of his trade. Mr. Charles Betts, a musician, and friend of the plaintiff, was called to prove that he read the article in question, and that he considered it reflected very much ou the plaintiff. The witness was subjected to a long and humorous cross-examination by Mr. Hawkins. The plaintiff, who it was stated was unavoidably absent, could not be called, neither was Lord St. Vincent. . Mr. Hawkins then addressed the jury in mitiga _ _ tion of damages. He urged that it was worse than idle to suppose that any fraudulent imputation was intended. The writer had only made a fair com ment upon racing matters, and had only, at the most, said that something seemed not to agree with the horse, which after all was a mere matter of opinion. It did not impute any' improper conduct to the plaintiff. The term ",Parr's Pills" was only a skit upon the plaintiff's name, and everyone knew that Parr's Pills possessed wonderful powers, espe cially with regard to longevity. It was certainly strange, if the publication of the article had damaged the plaintiff's character, that no evidence had been given in support of it. The learned Judge, in summing up, said that editors of newspapers and others might comment on public matters, and also upon the supposed capabili ties of a race-horse, but if they imputed improper motives they were liable to an action for libel. The first question for their consideration was, whether the defendant intended to impute fraud to the plaintiff. The Jury, after retiring for half an hour, said they did not believe there was any intention to im pute fraud. The learned Judge asked them if they thought ;he article imputed incompetency or negligence on ;he part of the plaintiff, in which case they would assess the damages. The Jury found that point in the affirmative, and assessed the damages at 40s. The Judge said he should direct a verdict to be entered for the defendant, with leave for the plain- if to move to amend or to enter a verdict na obstante veredicto.

Mr. Whymper intends to attempt penetrating along the surface of the glaciers of Greenland into the in terior, being convinced, from the great quantity of deor that find their way to the coast, that thei.e are, within the glaciers, well-grassed valleys and recesses.

AIONITORS CROSSING THE ATLANTIC.—By letters just received front America it appears that the monitor Miantonomob, a sister ship of the Monadnock, is about to leave that country for England, and may be expected iu Portsmouth about the 20th June. Mr. Fox, the able and energetic Assistant-Secretary of the American Navy, is at lea st o f showstiat kindthat he f has no coming doubt in o f t the seaworthy e vessel , which craft, although the sides are so low that the deck is not 18 inches above the water. The impregnable character of th e qualities monitors, from the lowness of their sides, and the immense thickness of their armour, has long been widely known ; but in Europe doubts of their seaworthiness, based on the most superficial considerations have been persistently pro pagated, in the idea, perhaps, that the public faith in the excellence of the European type of war vessel would thus be maintainable. These illusions, however, the voyage of the Monadnock round Cape Horn, and the intended voyage of the Miantonomoh across the Atlantic, will no doubt do something to dispel.

He made towards them with as much haste as the wind and his small o f supply canvas enabled him to make, and succeeded in rescuing them. They were in such a condition that Pershand said one of them could not have lived another night. The kind hearted captain, with all the ready generosity ever marks a sailor, treated them to the best of his provisions, and under his care they revived. They reached Gloucester in his cutter on Thursday. No specific charge was made against them. The facts were proved, and they were ordered to4:a3 detained in custody until their commanding officer at Gosport had been communicated with. Their mbnrut facet; and general appearance testified fully to the . uth of their story.
