ONEY MARKET ANT) COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues to present symptoms of activity, and little or no alteration has taken place in the quotations required for granting a ccommodation. Capital is, however, sufficiently abundant for the present demand, and the rates remain easy at 4-1 5 per cent. for the negotiation of the best securities. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have passed the following resolution :—" That the directors of the International Bank having on two occasions, NIZ., the 16th of August, 1864, and the 23d b ecember, 1864, issued public notices that the a malgamation between themselves and the London and Colonial Bank was complete, and having re fased to register transfers of shares according to such notices,—Resolved, that the name of the Inter- Zational Bank be struck out from the official list." The report of the directors of the Cadiz, Oporto, and Light Wine Association, about to be issued to the shareholders, contains a recommendation to pay a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, together with a bonus of 4s. 6d. per share, for the h alf-year ending the 30th November last. The share list of the China Steamship and Labuan Coal Company (Limited) will be closed on Friday, the 17th inst., at four o'clock, for London, and on Saturday, the 18th inst., at two o'clock, for the C ountry. At the second annual meeting of the shareholders of the Cont rac t C orporat i on, h e l d to-day, the ac '' jounts submitted showed that the balance of profits a mount s to . £5,043 65., after allowing rebate of in terest upon bills not yet due. The directors pro- P o sed that a dividend be declared at the rate of £lO p e r Cent• per annum, free of income-tax, which will absor b £3,000, and, with that paid at Midsummer, fake the dividend for the year 12i per cent. • Two O'CLOCK.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1i per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 43 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is rather more than 1-16th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. .rhe course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 249 per cent., and the premium on gold 127 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of go:d from the United states. SHARE 'OSSR THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING-, FEBRUARY 16, 1865, again asserted its sway, and for the last day or two before his decease all hope of ultimate recovery had disappeared. Nicholas Wiseman, the ablest English -Roman Catholic who has appeared among us since the Reformation, and the man who has done more than any other to change the aspect and position of Popery in this country, was not born in Eng land. His father was an Irishman, who settled in Seville, in Spain, and there attained to some emi nence as a merchant. His accomplished son was born in that town in the year 1802. (From the Morning Advertiser.) Cardinal Wiseman expired yesterday morning, at 8 o'clock, at his residence in York-place, Baker street, Portman-square. This event has been fully expected for a fortnight past. Ever since the end of the previous week, not only did the physicians and friends of his Eminence give up all hope of his recovery, but they felt that death might at any mo ment close his career. Apart altogether from the high position which Cardinal Wiseman filled as the head of the Roman Catholic Church in the United Kingdom, he was a man whose varied infor mation, great scientific attainments, and gene ral literary acquisitions would have made him a person of mark in any of the learned professions. His style was regarded by many as a model of good taste ; and several of his published works will, from the ability and literary taste they dis play, enjoy a lasting popularity. In private life he was an agreeable companion, and his society was sought by persons whose religious views did not harmonise with his. He had long been in a state of delicate health, and four or five years ago it was feared by his Wivate friends that an illness under which he then laboured would terminate in that event which we have now to record. Owing partly to his ill-health, and his somewhat large physical frame, Cardinal Wiseman looked much older than he was. Instead of being only in his sixty-third year, he would have been taken for at least seventy. (From the Daily Telegraph.) Throughout the whole of Englnd the news of Cardinal Wiseman's death will be received with sincere regret. Protestants and Catholics alike will combine in doing honour to the memory of a man who filled no unimportant post in our community, and filled it worthily. In every chapel of this coun try where the ancient faith is still maintained, prayers have been offered up, during the last few weeks, for the restoration of health to the dying Cardinal. That those prayers were not answered is to all Englishmen—no matter what may be their creed—a source of real sorrow. (From the Morning Star.) Cardinal Wiseman is dead. After having suffered long from a painful and apparently a hopeless malady, he was stricken down at last by the attack of a different disease. There is scarcely any part of the world where the news of his death, long as it has been expected, will not bring with it a thrilling sensation. Protestants as well as Catholics can well afford to bear cordial testimony to the great abili- ties, the varied acquirements, the high character, and, where private intercourse was concerned, the entirely liberal sentiments of Cardinal Wiseman. All must alike admit that he bore himself amongst us like a gentleman and a scholar ; and all must surely regret to hear of the death of one who had so many splendid intellectual qualities and so many exalted and Christian virtues. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) BARACLOUGH V. BARACLOUGH. This was a petition presented by the wife for dissolution of marriage. Mrs. Caroline Duck, the sister of the petitioner, said she was present at the marriage, which took place at Leeds in 1854. After the marriage the parties lived together for about a year and a half. She had seen the respondent frequently beat and ill-treat his wife. He shortly after that deserted her and went to Australia. The petitioner, Mrs. Barraclough, said her husband was of no particular business at the time of the marriage. He was employed at a carpet manufactory in Leeds. Her hus band prior to his departure from England sold up their home and went to Australia, but he never asked her to go with him. After he had been away about a year her sent her £2O, but she paid certain debts which •he had left unpaid. After ho had been absent about ten years she received a letter from him telling her he should never return to pauperised England, where all was freo slavery. Ire treated her with the greatest cruelty after marriage, and he used to take away the child, which was a baby in arms, and lock it up for hours in the bedroom. About four years ago she received a letter from him stating that he was coming home, and in September last she met him accidentally in the street. He asked her to live with him again, but she refused, and he went away. She had never seen him since. William Mann said, in October last he met the respon dent near Leeds. He was in company with a woman named Eliza 3farwood, a person of very loose character. John Warner Duck said he knew the respondent, and he had also seen him in company with Eliza Maywood. He heard him acknowledge, to a person whom he had set to watch, the commission of adultery. Decree nisi, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE S --This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE PORTLAND DANCING ROOMS--PARISH PROSECUTION —Mr. Charles Edwin Mann, of No. 140, Albany-road Camberwell, proprietor of the Portland Dancing Rooms Foley-street, Marylebone, was brought before Mr. Knox on a warrant charging him with keeping a common, ill governed, and disorderly house at No. 32, Foley-street, Marylebone. Mr. Randell, solicitor to St. Marylebone parish, attended to prosecute on behalf of the parochial authorities ; and ' Superintendent Searle, of the E division, watched the case on the part of the police commissioners. The proceedings were taken under the 25th George 11., cap. 3G, sec. 2 and 5, the former of which enacts that any person who shall keep a place for music and dancing, not licensed, shall be deemed to keep a common and disorderly house. Inspector Garforth, of the E division, said that at half past seven o'clock yesterday evening, he apprehended the prisoner at 140, Albany-road, Camberwell. He told the prisoner that he held a warrant for his apprehension for keeping a disorderly house in Foley -street. The prisoner said he expected it. He knew the prisoner to be the per son named in the warrant. The prisoner was then committed to the sessions. Mr. Randell said he only wished as far as bail was con concerned, such as to ensure the prisoner's appearance ai the sessions. Mr. Knox fixed the bail at two sureties of £lOO each, and the prisoner's own in the sum of £2OO. Mr. Randell asked that notice of bail might be given. In consequence of a number of persons going to the Portland-rooms last night and finding them closed, owing to the apprehension of Mr. Mann, and a notion being en tertained by others that all persons found at the rooms would be taken into custody, a good deal of confusion pre vailed at the entrance of the rooms. THE LATE 'ISEMAN. Born in Seville Died in London 15th February, 1865 Abroad, but more particularly in all the Catholic countries, in Italy, in France, in Belgium, and in Spain especially, the announcement of the death of Cardinal Wiseman will have been received with profound regret. His reputation was ,more than European. He was conspicuous for more than merely rare abilities. He was endowed with more than simply a capacious and vigorous intellect. He was a man of genius. As a great linguist, as a ripe scholar, as a man of profound learning, Cardinal Wiseman was a personage of mark and distinction even in an age when, among the holders of the same princely dignity, were numbered such giants of erudition and of philology as Cardinal Mai and Cardinal Mezzofanti. On the continent, as our contemporary the Morning Post of to-day re marks, and with reason, he was regarded as a great man. It was only the other day that one of the very foremost intellects of our age— allusion being here made to the Rev. John Henry Newman—took occasion, in his famous Apologia pro vita sua to speak of Cardinal Wiseman in terms expressive of the highest admiration and veneration —words that, coming from a man like Dr. New man, were of themselves an enviable panegyric. How completely Cardinal Wiseman had conquered the good opinion of his fellow-countrymen and fellow citizens, here in England, during the fifteen years that have elapsed since the formation of the Catho lic Hierarchy, of which, since 1850, the deceased Cardinal was, until yesterday, the head or spiritual chief as " Archbishop of Westminster," the opi nions now being expressed upon all hands by the journalists of England afford a very signal and significant indication ! These spon taneous and earnest opinions are of them selves, in their way, no less distinctly a panegyric than the notable allusions already referred to as occurring so very recently in the pages of " Newman's Apologia." The angry feelings evidenced in 1850, are, in truth, past and done with, long ago ! And the fact that it is so is of itself an attestation of the singular combination in the late Chief of the Roman Catholic Church in England—of a dignity and a discretion capable, by their conciliatory influence in their combination, of conquering all prejudices, even those that appeared to be the most rooted and ineradicable. Even in England, Cardinal Wiseman was a popular man. Among his co-religionists he was beloved and revered. But, apart from them, in the midst of the general public, in assemblages of Protestants and Dissen ters, the deceased Cardinal was always of late years received with the respect due alike to his learning and to his virtues. It was only a very few yearssince, upon the occasion of the canonization of the Japanese Martyrs, that—upon the gathering together, at Rome, of Catholic Bishops and Archbishops from the ends of the earth, to the number, hitherto un precedented, of 400 wearers of the mitre—Cardi nal Wiseman found upon his arrival in the Eternal City that the chair of the Presidency of the small and carefully selected inner council or committee, chosen from among those four hundred bishops, archbishops, and cardinals, thus gathered together there at Rome, from all the countries of the world, had been reserved for himself ! It was even more re cently than that, that our leading contemporary the Times contained, as many may yet remember, a leading article, in which the probabilities (as it appeared to them) of Cardinal Wiseman's elevation to the pontifical throne under the style and title of Pope Pius X., were seriously discussed. Incidents—these two last mentioned—clearly indica tive of the estimation in which; during his lifetime, Cardinal Wiseman was held both Abroad and in England. Now that he has passed away from amongst us, it is significant of the worth and splen dor of his reputation that he should in this manner be spoken of by the journalism of England, not in one or two individual instances, not alone by our selves, but—as the following extracts will serve to show—by the whole mass of our contemporaries :- (From the Times) We regret to learn that the long illness of his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman has at length reached a fatal termination. He died yesterday, at the com paratively early age of 62. Nicholas Wiseman was the son of the late Mr. , James Wiseman, merchant, of Waterford and of Seville, in which latter city the late Cardinal was born on the 2d of August, 1802. The family of Wiseman is of considerable antiquity, and they ap pear to have had lands in the county of Essex since the reign of Edward IV. Soon afterthe Reformation Sir John Wiseman, who had been one of the Auditors of the Exchequer under Henry VIII., and knighted for his bravery at the Battle of Spurs, acquired by purchase Much Canfield-park in that county. His grandson,William, who married into the noble family of Capel, afterwards Earl of Essex, was created a baronet by King Charles I. in 1628, and a younger brother of the second baronet was Lord Bishop of Dromore. The title has continued in a direct line of succession down to the present time, and is now represented by Sir William Saltonstall Wiseman, eighth baronet, who is a captain in the Royal Navy. From a younger branch of this family the late Car dinal traditionally claimed descent. His Eminence's mother, whose maiden name was Strange, and whose family, in spite of large confiscations of their property under Oliver Cromwell, is still seated at Aylward's Town Castle, in the county of Kilkenny, lived to see her son elevated to a Cardinal's hat, and died full of years in 1851. Though born upon Spanish soil, young Nicholas Wiseman, when he was little more than five years old, was sent to England. He arrived at Ports mouth in January, 1808, in the Melpomene frigate, Captain Parker, and was sent, while still very young, to a boarding school at Waterford. In March, 1810, he ;was transferred thence to the Roman Catholic College of St. Cuthbert, at Ushaw, near Durham, where he remained until 1818. In that year he obtained leave to quit Ushaw for Rome, where he arrived in the December of that year, and became one of the first members of the English College, then recently founded at Rome. In the next year he had the honour of preaching before the then Pope, Pius VII., and, having pursued with diligence the usual course of philosophical and theological studies, he maintained a public disputation on theology, and was created a Doctor in Divinity July 7, 1824, shortly before the completion of his 22d year. In the following Spring he received, holy orders, and in 1827 was nominated Professor of Oriental languages in the Roman University, being at that time Vice-Rector of the English College, to the rectorship of which he was promoted in the year 1829. He had already distinguished himself, not merely as a theologian, but also as a scholar, for in 1827 he composed and printed a learned work en titled " Hone Syriaca3," chiefly drawn from Oriental manuscripts in the library of the Vatican. Dr. Wiseman returned to England in 1835, and in the winter of that year delivered a series of lec tures, during the season of Advent, at the Sardinian Chapel in Lincoln's-inn-fields. In the lent of the following year, at the request of the late Bishop Bramston, then Vicar-Apostolic of the London District, he delivered at St. Mary's, Moorfields, another course of lectures, in which he vindicated, at considerable length, the principal doctrines and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, and with such success, that the Roman Catholics of the metropolis presented him with a gold medal, commemorative of their gratitude and of their high regard for his talents and acquirements. These Lectures were speedily followed by a " Treatise on the Holy Eucharist," which occasioned a theological , controversy with Dr. Turton, the late Bishop of The next stage in Dr. Wiseman's life is that which, as it has been more controverted than any other, so also is that by which his name will be longest remembered. In August, 1850, Bishop Wiseman was summoned to Rome, to the "thres hold of the Apostles," by his Holiness Pope Pius IX., who on the 29th of the following September issued his celebrated "Apostolical Letter," re-estab lishing the Roman Catholic hierarchy in England and Wales, at the same time issuing a " Brief" elevating Dr. Wiseman to the " Archbishopric of Westminster." In a private consistory, held the following day, the new 4. Archbishop " was raised by the Sovereign Pontiff to the dignity of a Cardinal Priest, the ancient church of St. Pudentiana, at Rome, in conformity with the ecclesiastical custom, being selected by him as his title. His. Eminence was the seventh Englishman who has been elevated to the hat of a Cardinal since the Reformation, his predecessors in this respect having been Cardinal Pole, Cardinal Allen, Cardinal Howard, Cardinal York, Cardinal Weld, and Cardinal Acton. The name of Cardinal Wiseman was well known in that portion of the literary world which interests itself in controversy, as one of the most frequent and able contributors to the " Dublin Review," of which he was for some years the joint editor. Among other productions of his pen which appeared in that perio dical we may name his " Strictures on the High Church Movement in Oxford," which were reprinted by the Catholic Institute about 20 years ago for cir culation in a cheap form, under the attractive title of " High Church Claims." His Eminence's "Essays and Contributions to the Dublin Review" were col- , lected and published, with a preface by the author, in 3 vols. Bvo., in 1853. It is also understood that he contributed to the " Penny Cyclopmdia" the article which treats on the " Catholic Church." Among the best known of his Eminence's other controversial and miscellaneous publication s are his " Fabiola," a tale of the Early Christians ; his " Reminiscences of the Four last Popes ; A Letter on Catholic Unity," addressed to the late Earl of Shrewsbury ; " A Let ter to the Rev. J. H. Newman, on the Controversy relating to the Oxford Tracts for the Times ; " and " A Letter addressed to John Poynder, Esq., upon his work entitled ' Popery in Alliance with Heathen ism." To these must be added his " Appeal to the Reason and Good Feeling of the People of England," respecting the Papal aggression, in which he endea- vonred to prove that the matter at issue was merely a question relating to the internal and spiritual or ganisation of the English Roman Catholics, and in no sense a temporal measure, or one which involved any practical assault on the freedom of Protestants. To the London world and to the public at large Car dinal Wiseman's name was rendered most familiar by his frequent appearance upon the platform as a public lecturer upon a wide range of subjects con nected with Education, History, Art, and Science ! And in this capacity his Eminence always found an attentive and eager audience, even among those who were most conscientiously opposed to his spiritual claims and pretensions, and who most thoroughly ignored him as " Archbishop of Westminster.', The illness of which his Eminence has died has been of long standing, and when he left England for Rome in the Spring of 1860, there were many of his - - - friends who feared that they would see his face no more. But he lived to return to England, and to recover some portion of his former health. It is almost superfluous to add that his Eminence's loss will be severely felt among the English Roman Catholics, both lay and clerical, as he was nearly the only member of their body who had earned for him self a wide and lasting reputation for ability and learning. (From the Morning Post.) The death of Cardinal Wiseman, which occurred at his residence in York-place, Portman-square, at eight o'clock yesterday morning, is an event which, for many reasons, is likely to exercise a con siderable influence on the fortunes of the Roman Catholic body in this country. Personally the Cardinal will be missed in general society quite as much as among his co-religionists, for he was a man who of late years had made himself respected by many intellectual opponents of his religion. Indeed, in his last illness inquiries respecting his condition were made by Protestants as well as by Roman Catholics. His malady was truly a serious one—indeed, he suffered from a complication of ill nesses ; but it is said that, in spite of his bodily in firmities, his mind was, up to two or three days ago, as vigorous, his conversation as brilliant, as ever. Even after he had received extreme unction from the hands of his faithful vicar-general, Dr. Hearn, he was able to discuss and appreciate the merits of the Pope's Encyclical. The cardinal, in articulo mortis professed his faith before several reverend gentlemen who are styled the " Chapter of West minster." "He had n ever wav ered for a moment in his faith," said the d y i ng dignitary. He was latterly very popular i n ar tistic and scientific circles. Cardinal Wiseman was a fine scholar, a most accomplished man, and an excellent preacher. Abroad the Cardinal was con sidered a great man. At the Congress of Malines, in 1863, strangers always desired to know which of the distinguished prelates was Car dinal Wiseman ; but at home he was of compara tively little account, owing to the bumbled position h oc el c d u though he was deservedly p in ied es b je llis m c a o s m a ni sc u h n t n r, an art critic, a linguist, and a man of letters. tbe e Y s iseman has at len g th h a d (From the .Daily News.) surprised to hear that the u i r llnes s long O readersof Cardinalwi 1l no a fatal termination, and that his Eminence is no more. The sad event happened at his residence in York-place, Baker-street, at eight o'clock yester day morning, after he had received all the last rites of his Church. In him the Romish Church in England has lost its foremost champion. His Eminence Nicholas Wiseman, Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church under the title of St. Pudentiana, and Titular Archbishop of Westmin ster, was born in the month of August, 1802, at Se ville, in Spain, where his father, a gentleman of English extraction and of gentle descent, had settled as a merchant, owing probably to the operation of the penal laws. His mother, whose maiden name was Strange, and who lived to see her son advanced to the highest dignities of the Church, was a lady of a good old Irish family, one of the Stranges, we be lieve, of the county of Kilkenny, and nearly related to the noble house of Lord Bellew. We should scarcely have cared to go into these minute details were it not for the fact that, when popular feeling ran highest at the time of the Papal aggression, a cruel attempt was made to influence the of the masses against him on the ground of his being an alien. (From the Morning Herald.) We have to record the death of Cardinal Wise man, the titular Archbishop of Westminster, who died yesterday at his residence, in the 63d year of his age. His death was not unexpected. For some time before his death he was disabled for active duties by a lingering and painful disease, and some time since the last rites of his Church were ad ministered to him in anticipation of his immediate decease. Nature rallied a little, however, but it was seen to be only-a, temporary restoration; the disease Ely, and by another work, in two volumes, entitled " Lectures on the Connection between Science and Revealed Religion." In the Lent of the year 1837, when he happened to be in Rome, he delivered four lectures on the " Offices and Ceremonies of Holy Week," which were afterwards given to the world as a separate publication. In 1840 the late Pope Gregory XVI. increased the number of his Vicars Apostolic in England from four to eight, and Dr. Wiseman was appointed coad jutor to the late Bishop Walsh, then Vicar Apostolic of the Midland District, being at the same time ela vated to the Presidency of St. Mary's College, Oscott, near Birmingham. While there he took the deepest interest in the theological movement at Oxford, which is associated with the names of Dr. Newman and Dr. Pusey, and which has furnished Rome with such an abundant score of recruits. In 1848, on the death of Bishop Griffiths, Dr. Wiseman became Pro-Vicar-Apostolic of the London district, and subsequently was nominated coadjutor to Dr. Walsh, tuna jure successionis, on the translation of that prelate to London. Bishop Walsh survived his translation but a short time, and on his death, in 1849, Bishop Wiseman succeeded him as Vicar Apostolic. LIVESY V. LIVESY AND KENNEDY. This was also a petition for dissolution of marriage pre sented by the husband against his wife. The parties lived in Leeds, and, from the evidence, it appeared that Mrs. Livesy became addicted to intoxication, so much so that the petitioner was compelled to leave her. On one occasion she struck him with a pitcher on the fore head, the mark of which still remained. One of the wit nesses had seen Mrs. Livesy in Leeds gaol, where she was confined. The adultery having been proved, The Judge made a decree nisi. AYRES V. AYRES. This was a petition presented by the wife, praying for he restitution of conjugal rights. _ . The petitioner, a buxom country lass, said that previous to her marriage she lived with her father, who was a farmer, at Littleport, Cambridgeshire. The parties were married at St. Sepulchre's in 1863, and in about a month from that time her husband went away, and she had seen him but once since, and then he ran away from her. Her husband was now living with his father, who was a farmer, about four miles from her present residence. Decree nisi, with costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE SIR JAMES JOIN RANDALL MACKENZIE, BART. This bankrupt was described .as . ,albaronet, formerly of Scatwell and Rosehaugh, both in the county of Ross, North Britain, afterwards of Claridge's Hotel; Lower Brook-street, Grosvenor-square, and of Burton-street, Euston-square, since a prisoner for debt in White cross-street, toad to-day ho came up for his last examina tion, and order of discharge. The accounts show—Dr. to creditors, unsecured, £7,201 3s. 6d ; creditors holding security, £190,032 15s. Bd. Cr.—By debtors, good, .£10,239 17s. 11d. ; property given up to assignees, £12,925 Bs. 9d. ; property in the hands of creditors, £148,400, the deficiency being about £26,000. The ex penditure of the bankrupt for the two years preceding the failure has been about £2,500 per annum. Amongst the list of his creditors are the Norwich Fire Insurance Corn pany, who figure for £lOO,OOO for cash advanced to enable the bankrupt to pay off a previous mortgage on his pro perty. Full security is held by the insurance company for this large sum. Mr. J. C. Brodie is a secured creditor for an advance of £12,000. The North British and Mercantile Insurance Company, Threadneedle-street, are secured for a cash advance of £27,000, and for cash advanced in 1863, £5,375. The executors of the late Earl Fitzwilliam hold a mortgage on the Rosehaugh and Little Sudder estates to the extent of £33,786 14s. 2d. _ _ Mr. Mimms, for the assignees, pointed out that the accounts were only filed yesterday, and, looking at their magnitude, it was absolutely necessary that there should be an adjournment. In a case like the present the assignees of course required some further information, and therefore prayed for an adjournment to some future day. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, said that he did not intend to offer any objection or opposition to an adjourn ment, but certain requisitions were to be tendered to the bankrupt, and he (Mr. Lawrence) applied that such requi sitions should state the nature of the information required to be furnished. His Honour then ordered an adjournment to the 28th April next, and granted protection to the bankrupt until that time. MR. GLADSTONE'S DEFINITION OF " DEPLTTA TION." --" A noun of multitude which signifies many but does not signify much."—Oe. _ About £120,000 in gold was taken out of the Bank yesterday for Spain. The biddings for £300,000 in bills on India took place at the Bank of England yesterday. The pro portions allotted were—to Calcutta, £153,900; to Bombay, £120,000 ; and to Madras, £261,000. The minimum price was as before, Is. 11id. on Calcutta and Madras, and Is. Hid. on Bombay. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at Is. 111 d will receive about 43 per cent., and on Bombay at Is. 110. about 92 per cent. ; above these prices in full. These results again show a diminution in the demand for means of remittance. 101 i 1001 WESTMINSTER. A SPORTING APPLICATION.—A well-dressed young man made the following extraordinary application to the magis trate : Applicant—A man told me that he had gone £2 upon a running man, and asked me if I would stand in. Mr. Arnold—l don't understand this slang. What do you mean, pray, by the phrase " stand in ?" Applicant—Be in it. Take a part, but he bested me. Mr. Arnold—ls this a matter in which you require pro cess of the Court, if not, I cannot hear you any further. I have nothing to do with pedestrian matters. Applicant—l wanted either a summons or a warrant. Mr. Arnold—What for ? Applicant—Obtaining money under false pretences. Mr. Arnold—Then state the facts plainly to me. Applicant—Last Monday week a man came to me and told me he had gone £2 upon a pedestrian match, and asked me if I should stand in, as it was more than he could afford to go at once. He said he had staked the money with a man named Shepherd, and I said I would go ss. with him, and I gave him the money then and there. Mr. Arnold—What is the false pretense ? Applicant—Shepherd never held the £2. Mr. Arnold—Did you know the man who had your ss. ? Applicant—Yes. Mr. Arnold—And Shepherd ? Applicant—Well. Mr. Arnold—You could have inquired of Shepherd into he truth of the story. _ _ Applicant—l could not inquire then. I took his word, considering it was all right. Mr. Arnold—lt is a very foolish matter. You had better sue him in the County County for the ss. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON POLICE-CONSTABLES.—EIiza beth Wilson, aged 21, Emma Fisher, 20, Mary Ann Reed, 20, William Tyler, 23, and Edward Luppage, 19, were brought up on remand, charged with being concerned with others not in custody in assaulting and wounding Thomas Venables and Edward Jeffery, police constables of the division. A few days since Venables was called upon to suppress a fight and disturbance in John's-place, Baker-street, Stepney. Every house there is occupied by thieves and loose women ; numerous robberies and outrages havo been committed there, and in several streets in the immediate locality. The neighbourhood has long borne a very bad name. Venables endeavoured to suppress the fight and was struck by a man with a poker and wounded. That man, who is a convicted thief, is still at large. Others then attacked him, and he was grievously kicked and beaten. Jeffery went to the assistance of Venables, and was immediately knocked down with a brick. He was kicked, and repeatedly struck with pokers and other weapons while he laid on the ground. Both con stables were severely wounded and contused. They have been on the sick-list ever since, and appeared in court with their heads enveloped in surgical bandages and their faces marked with bruises. All the prisoners were clearly inden tified as having taken an active part in the affray. One used his hands and feet, another a poker, and the women, who were exceedingly vociferous, were throwing mud and bricks at the policemen. It was only by a vigorous use of his staff that Venables saved his life and the life of his brother constable, who was lying prostrate and bleed ing on the ground. Venablesasked for another remand of the case, to enable him, if possible, to arrest others concerned in the riot and outrage. His request was complied with, and the prisoners were remanded for a week. A BURRING ROBBERY.— William Harley, a labourer, long known to the police as belonging to the dangerous classes, was charged with being concerned with three others in assaulting and robbing Mark Reynolds, an old man, of a bag of money. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution; Mr. Gomm, from the office of Mr. Hodgson, solicitor, de fended Harley. The prosecutor, Reynolds, is in the service of Rickett and Smith, coal merchants, and on the 21st of December last he was bringing a bag containing £63 Bs. 6c1., and which consisted of a £5 note, £3 in pence and halfpence, and the rest in gold and silver, from his employer's stores in Mile-end-road to their stores in Commercial-road-east, when he was attacked by two men, a wet rag covered with treacle put over, his face, and dragged to the ground. The bag of money was taken from hini, and he was left in a half senseless state on the ground. A man named Samuel Coster, a woman with whom he cohabited, named Jane Tyler and Mary Ann Smith, were committed for trial by Mr. Paget on Tuesday. Henley was out of the way till last night, and believing he was safe after the com mittal of three persons, made his appearance in his usual haunts last night. He was assisted by Smith, a police con stable, No. 253 K. There was a strong prima fade case against him, and Smith repeated what the girl Mary Ann Smith stated on her apprehension, that she and Bill Tinsley had £3los. each of the money, and Sam Coster and Jane Tyler the remainder. Mr. Charles Young said he had other evidence to pro duce, and asked for a remand, which could not affect the prisoner materially, as the Sessions of the Central Criminal Court would not commence till the 27th February. The prisoner was remanded for a week. The Davenport Brothers at Liverpool. LIVERPOOL, Feb. 15. The performance of the Davenport Bt r t u hers at St. George's-hall, Liverpool, came to an a pt ter mination this evening. On Tuesday night two gentlemen—Halley and Cummins--were selected by the audience to stop upon the stage and bind the performers. The process of binding was proceeding when one of. the Davenports objected to the tight ness of the rope and declined to go on with the per formance. A disturbance ensued, and the perform ance came to an end. Many persons obtained their their money back. This evening a large audience was present. Dr. Ferguson opened the proceedings by reading three conditions, by which the Davenports reserved to themselves the right of rejecting any particular gentleman in whom they might discover a disposition to deal unfairly with them. Mg his address the greatest uproar prevailed. Messits• Hulley and CuMmins were again selected by the audience, and on mounting the stage Dr. Ferguson announced that the Brothers objected to these two gentlemen on account of the brutal manner in which they had previously bound them. The uproar continued, the audience insisting on the performance proceeding. After very considerable delay the Davenports presented themselves, and the binding process commenced. One of them, how ever, immediately protested against the tightness of the cord, and was immediately released by Dr . Fer guson, both of them loudly expressing .ieeclithe.nirg wristindig nation and Davenport showing his the stage The audience, however, and those i i a l s. l i u er r t y ed whi th le at re Le u rgi vi t u s g on th in e intentionally ihe c+ i n D nfl a i v c e te n d pu t r l t t: p Dr. Ferguson was r t d io . na l l h to us t t a l k ed e then retired, which was the signal for the audience ed upon, and ut terly demolished ; sold at a shilling a contested for, and ;13 possession ssion cabinetf utphseesttajguem" fragininendtees indeed sold it were strongly musical instruments; disap peared ; the ropes werecut ev t e r n up and and bells and the in the genera scramble.

In the course of a couple of hours several tons of fine fine fish were caught, hundreds of men rushing to the place as soon as the fact was know, and capturing the fish by hand-nets, baskets, and every species of machine which could be made available, even brooms and shovels being cal;ed into service. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF CO MMONS—LAsr EVENING. The SPEAKER did not take the chair un til 25 minutes to 1 o'clock, a house not having been formed b e f ore. P RIVATE 8178 INES S. The standing orders were declared to have been c(n plied with in the case of several private bills, and more than 200 private bills were read a second time, Which occupied about three-quarters of an hour. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. BArcry from ba n k ers, merchants, and other inhabitants of Manchester, in favour of a repeal of the duty on fire insurance. Colonel SYKES presented a petition from Indian officers praying forthe redress of certain grievances of which they complain. LICENSING PUBLICHOUSES. Mr. LAWSON gave notice that on the 2d reading o f the Liverpool Licensing Bill, he would move that the sub ject should not be dealt with by a private bill. ENTRY INTO PUBLICIIOUSES. Mr. COX introduced his bill to amend the regulations relating to the right of entering publichouses, which was read a first time. MORTGAGE DEBENTURES BILL Lord NAAS, on moving the second reading of this bill, said that last year a private bill was introduced into the House of Commons having the same object contemplated in the present bill, and it received the sanction of ho7 l . members. When it went to the Upper House their to considered that the subject to which it re,,i a t e d was of a nature that should not be dealt I :eith by a private bill, and accordingly a public bill was (Jriginated in the Upper House. That bill was referred to a select committee, consisti ng of the Earl of Derby, Granville, Earl Devon, Lord Truro, and other noble lords, by whom it received a strict scrutiny. However, by the advice of the Attorney-General, the bill was withdrawn last session. The object of the present bill was similar to the measure alluded to, and proposed the i ntroduction of no new sys tem, but the augmentation and adaptation of the old system to meet the existing st of circumstances, as far as it could possibly .ate effected. The noble lord entered into sever a l details to show the necessity that existed for this bill, and referred to the pra,c tice that prevailed in Russia, to which, to some extent, it was proposed to assimilate the law by this measure. H e cited the authority of Mr. Urquhart and Mr. Stuart Mills in support of his view, and in reference to the system i n Russia. With regard to the detail, he had communicated with the Attorney-General, shouldwho sbeuggerestfeedrretdhatto tahissebleilel,t as well as some others, committee, to which he had no objection. Sir G. GREY said the Attorney-General considered the question of such importance that it should have the careful consideration of a select committee, and as that course would be consented to Government and the house would not be compromised -by agreeing to the second reading. Mr. TTENLEY said that he did not see why lending money on land should not have such an agency as pre vailed in the money market—namely, jobbers—of whom he did not wish to speak invidiously. He doubted, however, if the registration would effect the object proposed by giv ing security to debenture holders, while he objected to the introduction of surveyors, which the necessity of the bill required. He asked the right hon. gentleman (Sir G. Grey), on the part of the Government, not to allow of any refer ence being made to public offices which was not real. He hoped that the bill would be licked into shape in com mittee. Mr. SCULLY hoped that the bill would be allowed:to go into a select committee, but at the same time he objected to it both in principle and detail, for he considered it was drawn up in a very artificial manner. He objected to the powers proposed to be given to a public company under this bill to issue mortgage debentures, which would have the effect of giving such company a vast monopoly, li e contended that the object proposed by this bill could bo best effected by affording increased facilities to the landed interest in making transfers. It was manifest that the complex system proposed by this bill was unnecessary and unjust, and he denied that the continental system went to the same extent. He did not think that the subject could be properly dealt with by a select committee, as it required more accuracy and enquiry than such a tribunal could afford, and in his opinion it should be referred to a com mission, an opinion which was founded on an experience of fifteen years, during which he paid much attention to this important matter. Mr. AYRTON said that landowners laboured under a great difficulty in effecting these transfers in regard to loans, which operated injuriously on them, as well as On persons who were desirous of lending money on landed -property. He approved of the agency proposed by this bill, which he thought would go far to remedy the present grievances of the landed interest. The bill was then read a second time and referred to a select committee. LAND DEBENTURES (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time and referred to a select committee. LAND DEBENTURES BILL.
