The Money Market is showing symptoms of in creasing firmness. The brokers are loth to take less than three per cent. for the best short-dated bills, belief having gained ground that some heavy ship ments of specie is about to take place, and that the official minimum will consequently be advanced. A little activity has been causeed by a large number of Australian engagements arriving at maturity to day, but beyond this there as been little other business. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have Appointed Thursday, July 20, a special settling day in the 50,000 preference shares of the Atlantic Tele graph Company, recently issued by the Credit Mobilier and Foncier Company. These shares aro already quoted in the official lists. The committee have also ordered that the shares of the Dagenham (Thames) Dock Company are to be marked in the twice-a-week list. At a general meeting of shareholders of the City Bank, held to-day, the report presented stated that the accounts to the 30th June show a gross profit for the six months of £65,315, enabling the direc tors to declare the usual dividend of 6 per cent., and a bonus of £2 ss. per share. It has been announced that the subscription list of the General Estates Company will close on Saturday next, the 22d inst. • Two O'CLOCK. The English Market has been quiet, but prices have nevertheless continued at their former value. Little speculation is now in progress, and the num ber of deali ngs f or i nvestment daily recorded is very hmited. Consols remain at 891 90 for money, and at 90 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 ; the 2i per Cents., 72 1 ; Exchequer Bills, par to 4s. prem. ; and India 5 per Cent., 1041 The market for Foreign Stock has been dull, and Prices have varied very little. Turkish Consolides lively, at 491 4 ; Mexican, ex. all, are 241, and the New Loan is 231 ; Greek Bonds, 211 ; Spanish Passive, 291 291 ; Certificates, 14/ 1 ; Italian, 64 ; and the Confederate. Loan is 70. The American Securities show very little change. United States 5-20 Bonds are 714 72i ; Erie Shares, 54. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been limited ; prices, however, have generally shown more firmness. Great Northern, Great 'Western, and London, Chatham, and Dover have each advanced 103. ; and North Eastern (Berwick), 68 ., while Metropolitan have declined 1. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without Material alteration. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, at about previous prices. London and County have improved to 76i 77 ; and London Financial are quoted 221.

ARE POLICE CONSTABLES DEBARRED FROM GIVING EVI DENCE ON BEHALF OF ACCUSED PERSONS 2-Mr. Edward Dillon Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, attended before Mr. Tyrwhitt, and said his worship would remember that on the previous day a cabman, named Couch, was charged before him with being drunk, furious driving, dm., and fined 40s. In the course of the case ho (Mr. Lewis), having been instructed by the prisoner that Police-constable Gor- don, 36 C, had known him some years, and could speak to his character, called him to give evidence on the part of the prisoner; he (Mr. Lewis) denied the allegation that the prisoner was drunk, and asked that the inspector who took the charge might be called to give evidence. It appeared, however, that the inspector was in attendance at the Middlesex Sessions, when his worship inquired whether there was any one present in court who was at the station when the charge was taken. Another constable (Adams, 135 0') then came forward and stated that he was acting gaoler at the station on the occasion mentioned, and he de posed that the symptoms spoken to by witnesses for the prosecution might, in his judgment, be attributed to in juries received by the prisoner in the fall from his cab. A complaint bad been made, he (Mr. Lewis) knew not by whom, to the superintendent, in consequence of the con stables having given this evidence. He had therefore to ask, on behalf of the constables, for a copy of the notes, in order that the same might be transmitted to the Commis sioners of Police, and that they might be able to form a proper judgment on the evidence given. Ho thought it right to state that both constables were in court on other business, and not for the purpose of being called as witnesses in the case. Ho (Mr. Lewis) could not conceive why the fact of the men being police constables was to prevent them giving evidence whet called on to do so, such a theory being contrary to all principles of justice, and one which would, he felt, never be sanctioned by a magistrate. It appeared, however, that the police authorities entertained this idea. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had no wish to interfere between the constables and the superintendent. If he was asked whether a man when ho became a constable was to forfeit his rights as a citizen he should say it was an absurd doc trine, because a police constable might in many cases be able to give important evidence but be held back by the fear of offending his superiors. Besides, police constables would be open to the charge of giving partial evidence. He should decline to give the notes, and he thought there must be some mistake about the matter, as he did not think the commissioners would suffer such a thing. Mr. Lewis said such a report had been made, and the constables were summoned to appear before the superin tendent to-morrow. Mr. Tyrwhitt, in again declining to give the notes asked for, said he had not a word to say against the officers, and ho had no doubt they had spaken to the best of their belief. WESTMINSTER. WHOLESALE ILLEGAL PAWNING.—WiIIiam Little, de scribed as a watchmaker, was charged with illegally pawn ing a watch, value £5, the property of Thomas William Jenkins. n consequence of above 30 complaints baying been made to Mr. Selfe on Monday against the prisoner for illegally pawning, Knowland, 1418, the warrant officer, was ordered to go to the prisoner's house, and, if possible, take him into custody. Thomas William Jenkins, bookmaker, 20, Eaton-lano, Pimlico—Six months ago I gave the prisoner a watch to repair. I asked him for it several times, and found he had pawned it. That is my watch (produced). I never autho rised him to pawn it. _ _ William J. Squire, assistant to Mr. Courtenay, Stock bridge-terrace, pawnbroker—l produce the watch pawned on February 9. I took it for £1 from a woman. Knowland, 141 B—The wife gave me the tickets and old me she had pawned all the watches by prisoner's direction. Jenkins—Two months ago he said he had pawned it, and when ho had some money he would get it out. His wife also told mino the same. Knowland—l have twenty-one duplicates relating to watches. Prisoner had a situation at the Grosvet or Hotel, but lost it by this. Prisoner—l had a contract from Brixton prison. I got into difficulties somehow. I was exposed at the Grosvenor Hotel, and lost my situation. I did not pawn tho watches, but my wife did. I have been in very trying circum stances, and am very sorry for what I have done. He was apprehended by linowland, who stated that, among other depredations, he had obtained a watch from the matron of the Brixton prison, and, under pretence of repairing, had pawned it. Mr. Arnold remanded tho prisoner till Friday, offering ,o accept £2O bail. THAMES. BRUTAL OUTRAGE.—Edward Donovan, a powerful follow, about 23 years of age, was brought before Mr. Knox, charged with violently assaulting Margaret Rear don, whose face was mutilated, and her left eye cut and swollen. The complainant, a young Irish woman, said she had been acquainted with her countryman, Donovan, for somo time. He was the father of her child, which sho had left outside the court. She met him last night between the hours of eight and seven. Mr. Knox--Between the hours of seven and eight, you mean ? Witness—Yes, sir. I met him then in Royal Mint street, and asked him to support his child. He imme diately up with his fist and struck me on tho eye and knocked me down, and when I was down he kicked ine as hard as he could, and 1 was quite senseless. Mr. Knox asked if the child had been affiliated, and the woman replied in the negative. Samuel Damarck, police-constable, No. 140 11, saw the woman last night bleeding copiously from the eye and mouth, and the bystanders said she had been very much ill-used. The prisoner was inebriated, the woman was sober. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had seen the com plainant as a casual acquaintance, whom one looked at and soon forgot, and she importuned him for money and said he was the father of her child, which be knew was not the case. She threatened to stab him and to obtain nine pennyworth of vitriol and throw over him and blind him. She had persecuted him in every possible way, hunted him through the streets, called at his place of business, and " shown him up." Mr. Knox believed the prisoner might have received provocation, but it was not to bo wondered at if he was father of the young child. The provocation did not jus tify such a brutal assault as that which the prisoner had committed, and a portion of which the prisoner admitted. He sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. ,ITIES. 1101 } LAW INT --This Day. The Burning of the Ship Wi illiam Nelson. The Greenock correspondent of the North British Mail writes :—The fine barque Meteor, belonging to the well known firm of J. and W. Stewart, of Greenock, and commanded by Captain Hart, which arrived here on Friday last from Porto Rico, reports having picked up 30 passengers of the ill-fated ship William Nelson, the destruction of which by fire we narrated a few days ago. Captain Hart reports that at 3 o'clock a.m. on June 28, weather calm, when in latitude 41 58 N., longitude 51 48 W., he heard a noise to windward, as of people scream ing. Bore down towards it, and found and picked up nine females and twenty nine males, forming part of the passengers of the ship William Nelson. They were floating upon spars, pieces of wood, hen coops, &c., up to the waist in water, and were almost in a state of nakedness. Eight of the females were seated astride the lost ship's mainmast. The ninth was found floating on a spar about two miles apart from the rest. At first this female was thought to be dead, but efforts to restore her were success ful. These passengers were all Germans, and their language could only be understood by some of the seamen of the Meteor, who were foreigners. After picking up these sufferers, who had been knocking about in this condition for two days and two nights without food or water, the Meteor kept backing and filling about till 10 a.m., looking out for more of the lost passengers, but could find none, though several dead bodies were seen floating about. The rescued passengers, who were all suffering more or less from burns, reported that the William Nelson had 482 adults and 70 children on board as passengers, bound from Antwerp to New York. They believed that the greater number of the passengers were destroyed by the fire, and that a great many went down with the ship. They said that on the fire taking place the captain and his officers and crew manned the boats and put off from the burn ing ship, leaving the passengers to perish. That a number of the passengers jumped over the ship's side into the sea, and endeavoured to get into the boats, seizing upon the gunwale with this intention, but that the officers and crew struck their heads and hands with the oars and billets of wood, and left them to perish. They stated that on the 27th, while floating about on the fragments of wreck, they sighted an American ship which evidently saw them, but passed without giving them any aid. Captain Hart and his officers and crew gave the most humane attention to these poor rescued people, dressed their burns and wounds, had the females accommodated in the cabin, clothed them as best-they could, and in doing so turning some male attire to the best possible account. After getting under weigh, the Meteor sighted a large ship backing and filling, as if hovering about the scene of the disaster, but could not learn whether she had picked up any of the William Nelson's people or not. Captain Hart, finding that he had not sufficient provisions on board to supply his*Crew and the 30 people on the passage across to Britain, and that he was 320 miles south of St. John's, Newfoundland, made for that port, where he landed the passengers in safety ; and on the night of the 30th pro ceeded on his voyage. One of the passengers picked up had lost 2,700 francs, and another 1,500 francs. Another, an elderly man, who seemed to be an artist, and spoke of painting a view of the burning of the William Nelson, had a good large sum of money with him, attached to a belt round his waist, and had managed to save it intact. The rescued passengers expressed a strong belief that the burning of the ship was intentional, and said that two vessels of which the same mate had been chief officer had been burned at sea. They said that some of the officers and the carpenter went below, drove all the passengers on deck, and after plundering the chests of the COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde). POWER V. POWER-JUDGMENT. Tho learned judge in delivering judgment in this case this day said that a few days ago an earnest appeal had been made to the Court on behalf of the respondent. That appeal was founded, not on a denial of the adultery in the facts alleged in the petition, bitt on the ground of the respondent's youth, but after what had been proved no reliance could be placed on his promises, which had been frequently tried and without success. Of the adultery nothing oould be said, for it appeared that it commenced at an early period, and was carried on with women of the town, and the only excuse for the respon dent's conduct in this respect was that he was in a habi tual state of drunkenness. In the present case there was an aggregate of acts of cruelty, including blows and bruises, and in one instance the respondent attempted to cut his wife's throat, but having used the back of the knife she escaped. He might have carried out his intentions, but the wife escaped by stratagem. There could be no security that the petitioner would be happy with a person of the intemperate character of the respondent, and he must therefore make the decree 'dd. COUSINS V. COUSINS.-JUDGMENT. This was a suit by the wife for the dissolution of the marriage on the ground of her husband's adultery and cruelty. The parties were married in April, 1861, and separated in May, 1862. His Lordship, in delivering judgment, said that the Court was called on to pronounce that the respondent had been guilty of legal cruelty on the ground that he was in the habit of isolating himself from his and was wanting in affection to her. The only question was whe ther these facts amounted •to legal cruelty, which, it was contended, they did, taken•in connection with the adultery committed by the respondent, which was committed in his own house. The learned Judge having cited the dictum of Lord Stowell to show that that learned jurist did not consider adultery, when committed with a servant under the roof of the 'parties, amounted to legal cruelty, he could not, therefore,' dissolve the marriage, but would grant judicial separation if the petitioner applied to the court. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. . ' (Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.) A CLERK IN TILE BOARD OF WORKS.-IN RE CANTRILL. This bankrupt was described as a clerk in the Woods and Forests-office, and his debts are £l,lOO, to-day being ap pointed for the order of discharge. Mr. Reed, for the assignees, asked that an account should be filed showing the nature of the bankrupt's expenditure. Mr. Griffiths, for the bankrupt, said his client had only £l6O per annum. His duty was to look after the National Gallery and other public places at the West-end, and, in common with the rest of the clerks in the Woods and Forests,liad a district assigned to him. He was willing now to set aside £3O per annum for his creditors. Mr. Reed pressed for the accounts, and Mr. Longtaffe, for large creditors, complained of the mode in which his clients had been treated. His Honour said that the case must be adjotrned for the accounts, which Mr. Reed required on behalf of the assignees. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. passengers, set fire to the ship. Of course this statement is not likely to pass uncontradioted. Captain Hart, his officers, and crew, deserve great credit for their humane efforts in saving so many lives, and we hope to see their efforts recognised in a way that may encourage others to !ollow their example when placed in like circumstances, lfa R y . closes uCK S T the° N-morrothweactlrVeedin dE' seasonS BEN BENEFIT.--To-morrow T , —To little the the Haymarket," and Mr. J.

AN ODD SCENE AND AN ODD LAW.—A curious scene took place two evenings back on the Boule vard Beaumarchais. Monsieur B—, an advocate, walking out accompanied by his dog, an Italian greyhound of great beauty, suddenly missed the animal, and retracing his steps overtook a man of decent appearance with the dog in his arms. The thief had already removed the collar with the owner's name and address, and was endeavouring to stifle its cries. Being a man of great muscular power, M. 13-- soon mastered the delinquent, and then offered hini the choice either of . being consigned to the police or of kneeling down in the street and kissing the dog. The thief, after some little hesitation, chose the latter alternative, and per formed the ceremony in the midst of the laughter and jeers of the bystanders. Satisfaction being thus given given, M. B— was w illi ng to allow the defendant to depart in peace, but some sergents de vile comi ng u p insisted on taking him befor e th e commissary of police of the quar ter. M. B---- accompanied the party to the office, and when there expl a i ned to the-commissary that ho had acted in virtue of an old law of the Burgun dian Parliament never yet abrogated, containing (Title x. cap. 8, ar t . 9) a disposition thus worded : "If any man has stol en a greyhound (voltrahum), or a segusiave (seguteum), a particular sort of hound used by the Gauls for h un ti n g the boar, or a lurcher (petrunculum), we ordain th a t th e guilty party be obliged either to kiss the animal before the whole people or to pay five sols of gold to the master of the dog and two sols as fine." The advocate concluded by interceding for the culprit, on the ground that he had satisfied the conditions of the law, but the commissary, recognising the man as an old offender, sent him to the Prefecture.—Galignani. UNINTENTIONAL INFANTICIDE.—Mr. John Simon, medical officer of the Privy Council, in his evidence before the Select Committee on the Chemists and Druggists' Bills, mentioned some startling facts as to the unintentional destruction of infant life by opium. " There are some country districts of England," said, "whore child imumanuisfame t o u n ri s n tr a o u d s is t ri E c v th e , ry w o h n e e re kn m o o w t h s e that r i n o s kil om li e ng of by th o e p employed and children are neglected, the mortality of infants is twice or thrice what one would call the nominal rate of dying, and that a considerable share of this undue mortality is caused by dosing with prepara tions of opium. But it is not equally well known that in certain country districts the same amount of mortality of infants is to be observed; and when the particulars of this aro inquired into, it appears that the conditions aro very similar to those which operate in the manufac turing districts, and that even a greater proportion of the mortality is caused by the domestic administration of opium." " I should not like you," Mr. Simon continued, " to suppose that I think much of it is intentional. Ido not think that, but there is a carelessness as to the result that is hideous. On this subject the committee would find the facts given in m) last annual report, and especially with reference to the marsh districts of England. The Women work in gangs, and travel about the country, lading often a very reckless and rollicking life, leaving their children a great deal to chance as they travel about. The children fare very badly, as the children do in manufacturing towns. To be kept quiet They are drugged with opium.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AT WARIVI C .—Yesterday, at the Warwick Borough Police Court, George London was charged with attempting to murder William Coates, by shooting at him with a gun. Between twelve and one o'clock on Sunday morning, the prisoner, who does not bear a very good character, went to a house in Mount street, where he knew Coates was, and said that he would shoot him if ho came out. Coates went out, and the pri soner instantly discharged a loaded gun at him. Provi dentially Coates turned sideways, and the greater portion of the charge entered the door and walls, but several of the shots lodged in the man's shoulder, inflicting a serious wound. The prisoner then decamped, but was appre hended shortly afterwards in bed. A quantity of percus sion caps, powder, and shot were found upon him; and an open knife was laid on the bed by his side. He did not make any defence, and was remanded for the attendance of the injured man. Jealousy of a woman with whom he has for years cohabited, and who has recently shown a preference for Coates, is assumed to be the cause of the ill --- feeling. RAILWAY DISASTER.—THREE MEN KILLED._ On Saturday afternoon a fatall accident happened on the new railway from Sudbury to Bury St. Edmunds, Clare, Haverhill, &c. Some of the workmen from Clare who had been employed at the station were returning to their homes when, on reaching a part of the line about two miles from Sudbury, the engine and trucks ran off the lino, and three of the men were killed on the spot, and a fourth so much injured that his life is despaired of. The accident is said to ha,ve arisen from an incompetent person laying the points. The line has not yet been opened for traffic. niE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 18, 18G5 THIRD EDMOI.

Three hundred skeletons were found crowded within that sanctuary, a propitiatory Baal fiee being evidently held in the hour they were over whelmed. The statue of the goddess, with attendant pea cock, the tripod in front of the altar, the golden censer, the jewels on the person of the priestess, the rich vessels hold ing a deposit of animal blood, are the main particulars dwelt on, no chapter in that awful story being more in structive or interesting. The eyes of Juno were of the most vivid enamel, her arms, and her whole person richly decorated with gold trinkets, her gaudy bird resplendent with a cluster of glittering gems. Aromatic ingredients lay calcinated within the censer, while gorgeous lamps and bronze ornaments strewed the tesselated pavement. An Algerian journal relates a singular accident which happened to the Wilderneth diligence, be tween Pont d'Aumale and Constantina. On leaving the former place there was only an inside passenger, Mlle. Julio C., and when the carriage arrived at Constantino, she had disappeared. Some persons who were immcdiately sent back to look for the laly, found her lying by the roadside with one leg broken and several severe contu sions ; she was sensible, but unable to give the slightest explanation as to the cause of her being in that condition. It is supposed that she must have got out of the diligence iu a state of somnambulism. Viscount and Viscountess Sydney will have a dinner party on Friday next at their residence in Cleve land-square.

This evening, shortly after six o'clock, the greatest alarm prevailed in the Strand and its vicinity occa sioned by the fall of two houses in Chandos-street, Covent-garden. The premises, which were in pro cess of being pulled down, were situate between the extensive coach-building establishment of Messrs. Barker and the offices of the Friend-in-Need Life Assurance Society at the east-end of Chandos street. The business of an oil and colourman had been for some years carried on in one, and the other had been in the occupation of a licensed victualler. The whole of the walls, both front and back,are level led with the ground ; the great calamity is that a num ber of men have been buried in the ruins. A large body of the F division of police were instantly on the spot, and in a short time three of the men en gaged in the work of d emo liti on were extr i cated from the debris. All were alive when first taken from the heap of bricks and bre:en timber ; but one poor fellow expired before he could be con veyed to the hospital, which was but a few yards from the scene of the accident. The other two were conveyed to the hospital and received imme diate surgical aid, but the injuries sustained are of such a serious description that the lives of both are dispaired of. At the time the houses fell in a cart was standing in front of the houses receiving a load of building materials ; the vehicle and the horse were crushed beneath the debris, and a passenger had a very narrow escape of sharing the same fate. At the time, we go to press a large body of workmen are employed searching the ruins, but fortunately the list of calamities had not at that hour been extended. CLOSE OF POLLS—Yesterday.
