MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL (ti T ELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLoCK. At the discount office of the Bank of England the applications are rather numerous, but in the open money market the bills negotiated are com paratively few, as the brokers will only take the best description of securities. These, however, are readily accepted at 8j- and 9 per cent. The bullion .operations at the Bank of England yesterday afternoon consisted of an influx of £6,000. The Bank of France return shows an increase of £576,000 in the bullion, but there has also been an augmentation of £104,000 in the notes in circulation, and £28,000 in the advances on stock, &c. The commercial bills discounted have fallen off £392,000 and the current accounts £48,000. During the last few days business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets has continued very dull. At the public sales of tea, however, prices generally have been well maintained. Sugar has been at steady prices, while in coffee, rice, fruit, and spices there has been little change of importance to report. Tallow has been in better demand, and prices for both present and forward delivery show an upward tendency. The Bank of England return is favourable; but the position of the establishment is notwithstanding not strong.

Firm. This improvement is mainly attributable to pur chases in realigation of profits on " Bear" accounts. The auietude of business of all descriptions and the consequent adea that the culminating point of de pression has passed also exerts a beneficial in fluence. A comparison of the prices of Consols show a decline for the week, Friday to Friday, of 4 per cent, but to-day there has been a slight reactionary tendency, the latest prices being per cent. higher, viz., 854 86 for money, and 864 4 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 854 I ; India 5 per Cents., 1034 4 ; ditto 4 per Cents, 92 ; and ditto 4 per Cent. Debentures, 1004. Several alterations have taken place in the prices for Foreign Stocks, and the market presents a weak appearance. Turkish 5 per Cents. are 254 4 ; Mexican, 131 14 ; ditto New, 114 ; Greek, 104 114 ; Spanish Passive, 184 4 ; the Certificates, 144 ; Ita lian, 384 ; ditto New, 49 51 ; and the Brazilian Scrip, 5 4 dis. United States 5-20 Bonds are 651 66 ; Erie Shares, 41 4 ; and lllinois, 76 4. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are very dull, but continue at steady rates. Alliance are steady at 19 ; London and County, 66 67; Chartered of India, Australia and China, 101 4 ; Oriental Bank Corporation, 334 34; Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England are at 24 dis. ; General Credit 3 dis. ; International Financial at 3 dis. ; National Dis count Co. at 64 4 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay Co. at 16*. • In the Railway Share Market business has been very quiet, and prices generally are a shade flater. Great Western, and Lancashire and Yorkshire have each declined ss. ; Great Northern and Brigrhton, each 103. ; and Londo n, Chatham, and lss.; while Midland and Sou tern th Eas have each im proved 55., and South Western, £l. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings are very inactive, and prices exhibit no material change. BRITISH FUNDS ONE O'CLOCK. GOVERNMENT FUNDS. 8 per Cont.

Before long one of them dropped a k3rchief and a prayer-book, which I picked up and found they belonged to la Senorita Trinidad Smith. Not being us ed to Spanish nomenclature, Trinity struck mo as a curious Christian name, but my friend told me it was nothing to what I should meet with. Thus Dolores, or Pangs, is a most favourite baptismal appellation ; and o ven Dolores Fuertes , Strong Pangs, is not uncommon. These strange Christian appellations sometimes yield a curious sense when added to certain proper names christened . gave me, me, as an instance, the case of a lady Dolores Fuertes, who married a gentleman named Battiga. Thus the whole name stood Strong Pangs of the Stomach. —Dickens's " All the Year Round." The muse of exchange at New York on London for bills a 60 days' t sight is about 109 i per cent.

Seymour, Q.C., and another learned gentleman for the defendants. The plaintiff, John Hales, is a solicitor, and the defen dants, George Coleman and Maurice Abrahams, are in business in London, and the third defendant, Mr. Edward Lawrence Levy, is a solicitor. The plaintiff sued the de fendants for an act of trover, in having converted to their own use and wrongfully deprived the plaintiff of the pos session of certain furniture,, fittings, and utensils of trade, of a tavern keeper, for the value of which he claimed £5OO. The defendants pleaded not guilty, and the goods were not the property of the plaintiff as alleged. The plaintiff stated that he had advanced money to Jackson last year, for which he received, as security, a bill of sale on the goods in question. However, he discovered that it had been seized by another person at the house of Jackson, in Rupert-street, Haymarket, and when he re monstrated with Levy, who was the solicitor of Jackson. he was threatened with criminal proceedings for making a false demand, and the party whom he placed in posses sion was forcibly ejected from the house by Coleman, and was, in fact, mobbed by all three defendants. Ritualism in the Church, DEPUTATIONS TO THE ARCHBISHOPS. OF CANTERBURY AND YORK. Yesterday deputations of lay and clerical mem. bers of the Church waited upon the Archbishops o Canterbury and York, on the subject of the presen Romanising innovations in the ritual of the Church That to the. Archbishop of the northern province was ushered into the presence of his grace, at the Bounty-office, Dean's-yard, Westminster, at a quarter to one o'clock. It numbered nearly 100 persons, and included the following :—Rev. Frede rick Chalmers, Dr. Jardine, Rev. D. Vetch, Mr. A. Bonar, Colonel Elphinstone, Mr. W. Dclpratt, Mr. Hawkesworth, Rev. U. Davies, 11.. y. W. Conway?, Mr. G. A. Allan, Mr. Cressingham, Mr. J. D. Hay con, Mr. IT. Wright, the Dean of Derry, Major- General Mithall, Rev. W. Powell, Rev. E Marquis of Westmeath, Captain Hull, Lieutenant- Colonel Reynold, Mr. William Evill, junior, Rev. W. Conway, Mr. R. S. Faulconer, Rev. S. C. Adam, Mr. 11. Hill, Rev. J. M. Ward, hey. E. Clay, Rev. R. H. Killick, M.A., rector of St. Clement's Danes ; Major-General Nuttall, Dr. James, the Rev. Thos. Jakes,.M.A., vicar of Chevening ; the Rev. W. D. Vested, M.A., incumbent of St. Saviour's, Pad dington ; the Rev. J. S. Jenkinson, M.A., vicar of Battersea ; Captain Hill, the Rev. W. Pennefather, M.A., incumbent of St. Jude's, Islington, and about a hundred other gentlemen. Mr. CoultmouN read an address to his Grace, which he said was signed by 2,499 clergymen, 3,010 churchwardens, and other laymen. Several other memorials were presented, signed by 24 clergy and 1,815 laymen. He said the deputation did not understand the memorialists to ask for any restric tion in the constitutional liberty and diversity of sen timent which were wisely permitted within the National Church. Accepting the Liturgy as it stood, the memorialists had to complain of an unconstitu tional departure from the orders of the Church, un sanctioned by authority, and of the introduction of Romish practices into the services of the Church. They complained a communion-tables superseded by altars covered with drapery and strange ornaments, accompanied by illegal lights, incense, and genu flexions, processions with banners, priestly vest ments, being exact copies of those of the Church of Rome, novelprayers interpolated in the services, all of which they considered to be outward signs of a violent change. Unbecoming or frivolous as such exhibitions might appear, they became grave and significant when used to convey new doctrines con nected with Romish superstitions. After advert ing at some length to the doctrines supposed to be involved in these new practices, the memorial proceeded to say that it would be a mistake to suppose that the party within the Church, now united to undo the work of the Reformation, were either small in number or influ ence, or that they were to be restrained by authority or persuasion. Within the metropolis episcopal authority had been exercised in reference to the matter, both by the late and the present Bishop of London, but their efforts to restrain the practices complained of had been of no avail. The council of the English Church Union, now the acknowledged head of the new party, had within the last few days announced the policy which they intended hereafter to pursue. They made no secret of their deter mination resolutely to oppose even a bishop if he should commit an unjust aggression on any person in spiritual matters, and that they should regard as an unjust aggression every attempt to restrain a clergyman from those peculiar practices and doctrines which were repudiated by the Church of England at the Reformation. That such practices should have been declared illegal as soon as they were examined Could excite no surprise, for if they were legal the Reformation of the Church would have no existence, and the history of the last 300 years would have been a delusion. The memorialists in conclusion prayed that steps might be taken to maintain intact the integrity of the Church. Mr. LEFROY, M.P., presented a vast number of memorials, which, with those presented by Mr. Colquhoun, made the total number of signatures 57,383. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said—My lords and gentlemen, I have already expressed on a recent occasion, and I hope with sufficient distinctness, my strong dim/1 7 proval of the intiOduction in several places of novel vest ments, incense, and other Romish observances, into the services of our Church. In that disapproval a very large number of the bishops of the United Church of Ergland and Ireland have signified their concurrence, and I am not aware of one who has dissented from it. A very decided opinion has also been given by some of those most learned in the law to the effect that these practices aro inconsistent with the existing law of the Church. Under these cir cumstances I will not allow myself to doubt that those ministers of our Church who, with an unwise precipitation and without taking any counsel of those set over thorn in the Lord, have chosen of their own mere mind and will to adopt such practices, will feel themselves morally, if not legally, bound to abandon them, and thus remove this cause of scandal to our Church. It is strongly felt that these innovations are but a mimicry of the Church of Rome, and involve, in sone instances, the adoption of her er roneous teaching. It will be my duty to pursue such a course as I may deem most effectual for the discourage ment and suppression of them. (Loud cheers.) At the samo time, adverting to some expressions in the address which follows the petition you have presented to me, I cannot refrain from stating that the doctrine of the real -presence, as rightly understood, is one which the Church of England has ever hold, and which it will be always my duty to uphold. But it is a real pre sence as distinguished from a carnal presence, which our Church distinctly denies; a real presence that is spiritual, than which, indeed, nothing can bo more real, because it is effectual for those purposes for which Christ's body was broken and His blood shed upon the Cross, in the case of all who come faithfully to receive Him according to His own institution in the Holy Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. To this real presence our Church bears abundant testimony, in declaring that if with a true penitent heart and lively faith we receive that Holy Sacrament, then we dwell in Christ and Christ in us ; we are one with Christ and He one with us. Expressing as you do your earnest de sire that the order of the Church should not be violated in the instances to which you have alluded, you will each doubtless feel yourselves under obligation to see that in your respective spheres tho directions of the Church are faithfully observed. The diminution of external differences will tend, under the blessing of God, to promote that uni formity which it must be the anxious wish of us all to see established, that so the clergy and laity of our Church may combine with one heart and ono mind, in the unity of the Spirit and in the bond of peace, to advance tho glory of God and the extension of Christ's kingdom on earth. The Marquis of WESTMEATH, on the part of the deputa tion, thanked the Archbishop for the hopeshe held out, but could not help saying that, considering the length of time this conspiracy had been going on against the Protestant he could not expect that any remonstrances would bo of any avail with those misguided persons who were adopting the practices complained of. He knew that in some dioceses there were people with more money than brains, and less honesty than either, who had expressed their determination to resist any bishop who should inter fere. He thought, moreover, it was unfair to the bishops that they should be asked to bear the expense of such proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Courts ; for the incomes of many of the bishops were not equal to protracted liti gation in the Ecclesiastical Courts. Considering that the Church and the State were united, and that the Queen was at the head of both, ho thought herMeoarj,ehsteya'rs.)Ministers ought to Weaned upon to come forward to arrest the cou rse of those refractory persons who were now destroying the vemryr.hceaortmeuflitohusNPsairotdesthtaant,t judging from a meeting of the C th h a u t r a ch n.y Er a n in io g n w h o e u ld ld a c f o e m w e d f a r y o sin ago k i ias p n r e t n s e ew n s and a i s d l we ho l must venture, on behalf of the deputation E s u n p g p l j o s s h e as on behalf of largo bodies of people out of doors, to ex press their opinion that the present was a great crisis in the history of the Eaglish Church. He believed that the Church of England was strongly rooted in the confidence of the people, and would continue to be so as long as she remained faithful to primitive order and to apostolical truth. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY would merely say, before they parted, that he was deeply sensible of the critical posi tion of the Churea, and no one could be more earnestly de sirous of adopting such measures as would effectually check and suppress the movement complained of. It had been suggested that legislative measures should be taken. That was a grave question, and it was not for him to commit himself at present to any particular plan, but his heart was entirely with the deputation in the desire to maintain in their integrity the doctrines of the Church. The deputation then retired. DEPUTATION TO THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK. The Archbishop of York received the deputation in Queen Anne's Bounty Office, Dean's-yard, Westminster, the members of which were pretty nearly the same as in the other case. The Archbishop of York wore his full episcopal robes. The Archbishop of Canterbury was in plain attire. Mr. Colquhoun presented to his Grace a memorial, signed. by 2,121 clergyman and 2,610 churchwardens; also four other memorials signed by 0- olergymert and 299:laymen These were indepeildent of other memorials which had boon presented to the Archbishop from other suurces. The Archbishop of Yonx, in acknowledging_ them, ex pressed a hope that the clergy and laity, would strive to obey the law of the Church with alacrity. The practiCes com plained . of had been spoken of as childish and frivolous, but he believed they had been adopted with a, deliberate inten tion of affecting the doctrin al position of theEnglishChurch. That was not the place for him to give pledges, but he felt quite sure that a remedy would soon be found for the difficulties which were now perplexing the church. Recent researches in the province of York had shown that there was nothing in the usages of the Church since the early part of the reign of Queen Elizabeth to justify the innova tions now being introduced. Mr. COLQUHOUN thanked his Grace for the courtesy he had extended to the deputation, and took the opportunity of expressing his doubts as to the expediency of Parlia mentary interference. • Our National Defences—ls England Safe ? The time has now come when it behoves every English- lan to give attentive consideration to the present state of the armaments of his native land. With war declared on the continent of Europe ; with Fenian raids ma-le on a distant continent upon one of our patriotic colonies ; with the Russians edging close to our Indian possessions ; with two of our most powerful European allies by this hour in all probability in actual conflict, and with other dark signs of coming events which may prove inimical to the security of this wealthy and happy isle, no forethought, no care, no skill, no cost or effort should bespared at this momentous period to guard from every ill this " land of the free"— our populous, peaceful, and intellectual country. To con template what would be the effect upon the happiness and civilisation of the world if England were blotted out by a sudden conquest, or should cease in any way to maintain her position as a first-rate power, may well be left, without any effort on our part to portray it, to every one on his own account, fur every one, considering such a catastrophe in his own way, would increase the strength of his own con • victions by every new thought, by every repeated reflec tion, until the feeling that the barest, the remotest possi bility of such an event should not be suffered to remain in the category of mere possibilities, would attain an intensity which those who have never deeply pondered on this sub ject, or those who have rested in the blind faith.of Anglo- Saxon energy and skill, or in the still blinder and more baseless belief in the care and watchfulness of our official government over the security of our national existence, can have no conception of. Nor is such a sudden conquest, or such a depression of the eminenceof a kingdom, beyond , the pale of possible occurrences in modern warfare. We drew no comparison hereof our armaments with those of Franco and other European countries, we purposely avoid it; but we do assert that there are 'existent the material poivers capable of effecting the one or the other, while we, on the other hand, have not, at this moment, nor can we have for months to come—and months in modern wars are eventful periods indeed-=the necessary means of prevent ing such destructive attacks as could at once be prepared against us. In the series of articles we purpose putting before our countrymen at this critical juncture of public events sen sationalism of any kind is in the highest degree as foreign to our wishes as it would be inimical to our object. We feel strongly, more strongly oven than we like to express, that the consideration of our national defences has been tampered with beyond the endurance of the British na tion, if that nation knew and comprehended the true con dition of our present military and naval power, and thoroughly understood the gross and culpable neglect that there has been of the scientific and mechanical genius of the country by those to whom during the past few years since the vital change in military and naval armaments has been progressing, the charge of our national defences has been entrusted. It is not too much tosay that, so far from our national defences being what they ought to be, they have been trifled with . _ to a perilous degree—wo say advisedly perilous degree, because we have neither a ship, a gun, nor a land fort ca pable of resisting such attacking forces as could at this mo ment be brought against us, because neither our biggest nor our thickest ironclad ships, the largest and most formidable of our guns, the strongest of our land batteries, could resist the attacks which at least one country has the means already prepared of making upon them. That the Americans could sink our Northumberlands, Warriors, and Bollerophons, with their Monadnocks, Puritans, and Passaconaways, is perfectly certain. The treatment the Callao forts gave the Spanish fleet is substantial evidence of this ; and the Numancia, it should be remembered, is a sister ship of our vaunted Northumberland, in armour, size, and guns. It was no idle boast Commodore Rogers made as to what ho could do with her. Even if we might at this time advantageously compare ,he strength and number of our own warlike engines with those of the most powerful continental States of Europe, it can hardly be supposed those powers who are already commencing, or those who may hereafter engage in the coming desperate hostilities, if they continue for any length of time, will not emerge frcui their mortal encounte►s with armaments of far greater capacity than they as yet possess, and that if the British nation does nothing in the interval to effect and ►naintain the necessary supre macy of our military and naval arms, we shall find some other country than America, and in close and dangerous proximity, capable of demolishing us at a blow. Suppose one European ambitious country after a four years' war to come out victorious with such an armament as the United States has at this hour in its arsenals, its harbours, and afloat. Suppose any European country possessed of what the Americans actually have fit for service, 1,500 15-inch guns (440 -pounders), and some hundreds of 20-inch guns (1,080 -pounders). What have we to bring against such a stupendous array of artillery ? Not a single gun of equal calibre—not one efficient 400-pounder, not one of any larger size whatever. Against such terrible weapons we have nothing absolutely, and literally not a single effective gun that could be even hopefully opposed. Not one. Big gun after big gun, ordered or made by our Government, either from being wrongly constructed, or worse, being rifled on wrong principles, bursts at the 300th or 400th round; and £1,500 after £1,500, and more, is thus time after time reduced to scrap iron for re-smelting, because officialdom—we coin the word to avoid personalities—has put its " foot down" on a wrong principle, and won't take it up again. Just so officialdom erects forts of granite, which artillerists toll us shiver under shot from modern artillery—not British—like glass, and neglects the iron which even the remote Peruvians Lad the good sense to select; just so officialdom builds broadside ships and arms them with little guns, preferring something "tall" to look at to something less magnificent but infinitely 'more des perate and impenetrable in the fight ; just so, too, official dom prefers to nick and notch, and twist and coil its can non in endless variety of ways, all alike destructive of. the resistance and endurance of the metal of which they are made, and involving all the dangers and difficulties of having to convey to battle-fields and forts a dozen sorts of shot and shell for the same sized guns, and none of which will fit any other sort of gun than that for which it was expressly made, and no sort of gun being able to be fired with any other sort of shot than its own. The "muck-muddle' and danger of such a complex confusion in a real campaign can be easily com prehended by any intellect not absolutely obtuse. To contemplate seriously the bare possibility of such an event as the blotting out of England as an independent nation would seem to most like madness, but we say de liberately it ought to be contemplated, For as war goes nowadays, such is the mechanical skill, and so complicated the machinery by which it is effected, and such the amount of time required for the production of the instruments of modern warfare, that the nation which, being attacked, cannot at once effectually resist, may be quickly beaten back, until the mechanical appliances of its gun factories and dockyards aro captured, and then to rally would be impossible. In every age in all vital national events his tory repeats itself. The brave may sometimes win ; the strongest and best armed generally ; the negligent never. England encoutages peace and civilisation throughout the world, and there is thus a moral reason beyond the national one why England should bo the strongest and foremost power. This at this moment she is not, but she might be. What, then, we want to do is to show truly and undis guisedly the dangerously neglected state of our national defences, 'and what can, and how soon can, be accom plished that which is necessary to place England in mili tary and naval power, so far as human prescience can acomplish it, beyond the possibility of degradation and calamitous reverses. Our argument is, that England having no desire for war, should have the proper military and naval weapons to enforce respect, and by being too strong to be attacked with any prospect of success should thus ensure the calm serenity of peace throughout her wide dominions. It is certain, however, that England has been allowed to come to the last hour when desirable pro vision for her own security can with any degree of cer tainty be made. It would take two months from this day, from any day, before the first gun of such an artillery as England ought to possess on land or at sea could be pro duced. It would take six months to build the first ship fit to protect the present navy of England ; and it would take three months before the first of those iron embrasures and turrets which our principal forts ought to possess could be prepared. It would thus take six months, if the British people took up the subject in earnest at once, before Eng land would have made even the first step on the road to safety.—Morning Herald. ANOTHER GREAT COTTON FIRE AT LIVERPOOL. — On Wednesday night a fire broke out in two cotton ware houses in Parliament-street and Britton-street, near the South Docks, Liverpool. The fire had made considerable progress before it was discovered, and the flames defied the efforts of the fire brigade. Upwards of 1,600 bales of cotton were stored in the premises, besides 200 tons of logwood, the greater part of which has been consumed. The principal owners were Messrs. Brown, Shipley, and Co. ; a . small portion of the cotton belonging to Rathbone Brothers Taylor, and Co., J. S wire, and Walton, Bolton; and Co The two warehouses were divided by a narrow passage, and the flaws quickly spread from one, build to the other, • .2- . . .

LORD ROKEBY. The hearing of this case was resumed to-day, the ex amination of Colonel Dawkins being continued, but the evidence, which consisted chiefly of the verification of a mass of correspondence, was not interesting to the public. The case is likely to occupy the greater part of to-morrow, and it is understood that at the close of the plaintiff's evidence an attempt will be made to non-suit him by the defendants. BANES V. DENLY. (Before Mr. Justice Seating and a common jury.) This was an action to recover a sum of 24 on a bill of exchange of the defendant, to which it was pleaded that the defendant had not accepted the bill, and that it was merely a bill of accommodation for which no value had been received. The plaintiff is a printer and engraver in business at Islington, and it appeared that from time to time he ad vanced different sums - to hiison, who was a jeweller living at Newington-butts. The plaintiffs son was intimate with the defendant, and was in the habit of accompanying him to races, and advancing money for certain purposes, and to enable him to go abroad occasionally. These sums amounted to a sum of 466, but the bill of exchange was the only amount at present in dispute. The plaintiff held the bill as part payment of the sums lent to his son. The bill not being paid the action was commenced. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. HEARTLESS ROBBERY.—Charles Herman, lately porter in the service of Mr. Priest, eating-house keeeper, of Charles street, Soho-square, was charged with stealing a box of wearing apparel of the value of £5, the property of Caro line Hall, a fellow servant, the robbery being one of a most cruel nature. The prisoner was further charged with stealing a truck from his employer. It appeared that the prosecutrix, Caroline Hall, a married woman, hating her husband in the hospital, had been obliged to go into service, but on Saturday last she was compelled to leave her situation in consequence of her being about to become a mother. She gave the pri soner, her fellow servant, her box, containing her wearing apparel, to take to the booking-office in Oxford-street, and he started with it for that purpose, taking his em ployer's truck with him . The poor woman afterwards as certained that the prisoner ad never been to the booking office. She then gave information to the police, and the matter being placed in the hands of Sergeant Cole, of the C division, an experienced officer, he last night succeeded in ending tile prisoner in Berwick-street Mews. On tax ing him with the robbery he at first said that he knew nothing about it, and that he never lived at Mr. Priest's, but subsequently he said that he would tell the truth, and that he did have the things, and sold them for 10s., the value of them being about £5. Sergeant Cole asked for a remand, which was granted, Mr. Knox kindly ordering the poor woman a sovereign from the poor-box. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE THROUGH FURIOUS DRIVING.— John Hunt, of 23, George-street, Sloane-square, coachman, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and furiously driving and damaging a brougham, the property of Mr.. Richard Hollins, jobmaster, Albion-mews West, Hyde-park-square. Thos. Beale, 119 C, said that about 12 last night, while in Park-lane, ho saw the defendant driving a brougham at a furious rata down Park-lane. Directly afterwards he heard a crash and saw that the defendant had come in collision with a brougham, knocking the hind wheels com pletely off, besides doing -other damage. lie went and stopped the d9fendant, who drove off at a furious rate, and took him into custody, the defendant being drunk at the time. Mr. Hollins, johmtu3ter, of Albion Mews, West, said £2O damage had been done to his brougham. A cab proprietor stepped forward and said that his cab had also been damaged by the defendant to the amount of £7, but the driver was not in attendance. Mr. Knox said he would remand the defendant for a few days so that the cabman might attend, and then a better estimate of the damage might be produced. He would take bail, but should require two sureties in £3O each. THAMES. JUST PUNISHMENT OF DISORDERLY WOMEN.—Mr. Paget has come to the determination of punishing with great severity disorderly and violent women of infamous cha racter, whose conduct is in defiance of all public morality and decency. He has visited with severity many female ruffians with nothing of women about them, but the sex who have committed violent assaults on each other, and upon persons with whom they came in contact, ac companying their outrages with blasphemous and indecent language and threats, hereby the whole of the offenders have been taken in Batcliff-highway, Shadwell, and Tiger-bay, St. George-in-the-East. Jane Smith was charged with being drunk, disorderly, and assaulting Margaret Sheppard in Shadwell• Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour, and said although the as sault was but a slight one, he was under the necessity of punishing severely disorderly women for injuring each other and injuring others; and if two months would not suffice, he would visit disorders of this kind with still greater severity. The next two women who appeared be fore him were Anne Gilligan and Mary Ann Mulcahy, who have given more trouble to the police, the magis trates, and the officers of this court than any other two women in the district. Gilligan is a dreadful character, and though only only 33 years of age, is called the " old woman," and she looks like a woman of seventy. A very intelligent police -sergeant named Dillon, No. 19 K, said she was one of the most desperate and abandoned characters in the district. She had been convicted of felony and underwent three years' penal servitude. Her real name was Hall, and she cohabited with a man named Gilli gan, a thief, who was transported. She had been con cerned in numerous outrages and robberies, the plunder ing of sailors, and ill-usage of people in the notorious dens in Bluegate-fields, Shadwell. The convictions against her were numerous. Mrs. Mulcahy, who had a surgical plaister on her face, has been repeatedly convicted of as saults on the wretched creatures who live in the horrible houses belonging to her and her husband in Bluegato fields, Angel-gardens, and other- places. She was sent to prison for a month" for cutting a man's head open with a bottle, and also convicted for assaults on the police. Sergeant Dillon said the mischief done by the two women was enormous, and they were a nuisance to society. It was proved that Gilligan assaulted Mrs. Mul cahy in the White Fox public-house, Shadwell, and Mrs. Mulcahy went to Gilligan's house in the evening and beat her. The assaults were accompanied by fearful scenes of violence and disorder. Gilligan said she was a tenant of Mrs. Mulcahy's, who had 14 brothels. Dirs. Mulcahy—l have 16 in this end of the town and as many in the west. Mr. Paget, having sternly reproved the prisoners, sen tenced them each to two munths' imprisonment and hard labour, and said if they were brought before him again under similar circumstances ho would order a much longer imprisonment or ho would send them to the sessions. Mrs. Mulcahy, who has become rich by her nefarious trade, said she could pay a fine, and implored of th e magistrate to inflict one and not send her to prison. She could pay £lO, or £2O, or £5O. lAr. Paget—No, I will not allow you to escape on pay ment of a fine. You will go to prison. Liverpool Cotton Market—(This Day.) The market opens rather (inlet. Sales probably 5,000 or 6,000 bales.

The Stock Exchange Committee held a meeting yesterday afternoon, and have posted the following resolution in the house :—" The committee for general purposes having received a second memorial with reference to the mode of dealing in bank shares have fully reconsidered the subject. In the opinion of the committee any deviation from the usual practice would seriously obstruct the course of legi timate business, and by rendering bank shares less negociable would be detrimental to the interest of the holders and the public. It is therefore resolved " That no special rules for the settle • meet of bargains in bank shares be adopted."

By S. W. Bake; Esq. SHEEP WORRYING IN SCOTLAND.—Between Sun day night and Monday morning last no fewer than 26 lambs and one ewe were worried by dogs on the farm of New Belses, Roxburghshirs, in the occupation of Mr. Wylde. On entering a field on Monday morning the shepherd came upon the half-eaten carcases of two lambs, and in a corner of the same field he found other 24 lambs and a ewe lying together, in a heap, all dead, a number of which appeared as it they had died from suffocation through being forced to gether. There is no doubt but the animals have all died as the result of an attack by dogs, but where from or to whom belonging the police have as yet been unable to ascertain. —Edinburgh Evening Courant. THE NEWCASTLE CUP.—The Newcastle Cup for 1866, now on view at the manufacturers, Messrs. E. and E. Manuel, 1; Burlington-karaens, is a work of unique design and most elaborate beauty. It is a silver vase in the reuaissance style, relieved with gilding. The handles are formed by figures of St. George attacking the dragon. A female figure, typifying the city of Newcastle, and bearing the city arms, surmounts the cover. The battle of Chevy Chase, haviug been fought in the 'vicinity of Newcastle, has been selected for illustration on two has reliefs ou the body of the vase. The first represents the scene before the combat between the Earls Percy and Douglas, when Witherington, an English squire, offers to decide the quarrel by a single combat with any Scot ; the second depicts the combat between the oarls,during which Earl Douglas met his death by an English arrow. Sis Hugh Montgomery, a Scottish knight, then rushed throweh the fray and pierced Earl Percy with his lance, seeing which an English archer shot an arrow at Montgomery and killed him. These thrilling incidents are narrated in silver with a display of poetic fancy and dramatic expres sion that may well awaken admiration. Seldom has his tory been presented in a more costly and attractive form than it assumes in this superbly embossed vase, which might serve not only for a racing cup, but also for an aca demic prize, so rich is it in historic interest and legendary lore. It is a magnificent work, and does honour to the artist who designed it, and to the manufacturers who car ried his conception into truthful and spirited execution. PETROLEUM FOR ASTHMA.—A correspondent of the Country Gentleman writes to that journal :—" I have a son six years old that had the asthma in the most distressing form for three or four months, when ho was one or two years old. We tried everything we could hear of without gettiug relief, tilll we were told to rub his neck and breast with petroleum, and we used it both crude and refined, ex periencing very speedy relief and a final and permanent cure; for he has not since had a return of it, and is now a very healthy child." CHAMPAGNE.—Some French statistics give the subjoined details. Thirty million bottles of champagne annually sold are thus distributed : -Africa consumes but 100,000 of these; Spain and Portugal, 300,000; 400,000; Belgium, 500,000 ; Holland as much ; Germany, 1,500,000; Russia, 2,000,000; France, 2,500,000; thirsty England, 5,000,000 ; India, ditto ; and North America, 10,000,000 bottles. These figures refer to the consumption of wino really grown in the champagne countries. THE NlLE.—Colonel Scobell, the last surviving commissioned officer who took part in the battle of the Nile, has just died at his seat, Nancealverne, near Penzance, at the age of 88. Deceased was the son of the Rev. Mr. Scobell, vicar of Sancreod, Cornwall. He entered the Royal Marines at an early age, and was present at the battle of the Nile, on board the Alexander, Capt. Ball, as second lieutenant. He was also engaged on land in Nelson's Italian campaigns. The gallant'colortel in - later life de voted himself to agricultural purs u its. SIGNOR ARDITI'S GRAND CONCERT AT HER MA JESTY'S THEATRE.—Signor Arditi's great concert, which is generally accepted as the culminating point of all the morning entertainments given during the London fashionable season, came off brilliantly on Friday last, the 15th instant. In a theatre crowded with rank and fashion, it was really a sight to witness the delightful attention with which the audience lingered on almost every piece. Madlls. Titiens, the great prima donna, now confessedly standing alone as the first singer in Europe, was, of course, the leading artiste on this remarkable occasion. Besides her marvellous power as a sinker, we feel com pelled, in justice to her great taste (exhibited is.another direction than that of music) to notice, for Use information of our lady-readers, her dress; which was an exquisite morning costume in the richest white ppult-de-sore, trimmed with mauve silk, forming festoons. The skirt was trimmed with Cluny lace and shells of mother-o' -pearl. Nothing could exceed the effect of this tasteful dross. The dress, we believe, was made by the well-known Messrs. Jay, of Regent-street, an establishment now celebrated iu London and in Paris for its exquisite Court BURIAL OF THE Pooß.--One of the last Acts passed was to enable Boards of Guardians...in.
