The money market remains in a firm condition. Bankers and brokers are unwilling to lend their money under the official minimum, but the demand for accommodation is very small. There appears very little likelihood of any relaxation in the terms during the week, as preparations will soon have to be made for the bills falling due on the 4th inst. The accounts from the manufacturing districts during the past week represent that business has been more satisfactory. At Manchester prices of both cloths and yarns have remained firm, conse quent upon the late advices from America as regards the stock of cotton. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has shown more activity, owing to a fair inquiry for winter' fabrics, while the hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham, have been in several instances more active. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been a better demand for goods suitable for the home trade, consequent upon the lowness of stocks in the hands of provincial storekeepers.

The decrease has been most per ceptible in cotton, yarn, cotton manufactures, haberdashery, and millinery, silk manufactures, and woollen and worsted manufactures. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled very inactive, and where sales were effected prices declined to the extent of ls. per qr. The spring corn trade, on the whole, was steady, but buyers, as a rule, operated somewhat cautiously.

The Queen and Princess of Wales drove out yes terday afternoon. Election of Scottish Representative Peers On the continent the wheat trade rules quiet, but there is a fair demand for most descriptions of spring corn. At New York wheat and flour are in moderato request for export. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 18,691 quarters of wheat, 2,110 barley, 8,059 oats, 142 beans, 3157 peas, 15 tares, 3,400 linseed, 70 rapeseed, 95 sundry seeds, and 152 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of old Eng lish wheat were very moderate. The supply of new home grown wheat consisted of produce from Kent, Essex, Suf folk, and Cambridgeshire, the quality of which was good, but which was not of that evenness peculiar to last year's wheat. The samples brought forward, however, were far from numerous, yet they commanded but little attention. New white Cambridgeshire wheat realised 48s. per quar ter. As regards old wheat the trade was dull at Friday's decline in prices, or at is. to 2s. per quarter beneath the rates of Monday last. At this reduction the whole of the supply of white wheat was disposed of. The supply of continental wheat on sale was moderate l ; of American, limited. The trade was very inactive nevertheless, all good and fine sampleS steadily supported previous rates. The tendency as regards the value of in ferior foreign wheats was in favour of buyers. Floating cargoes of wheat were in but moderate request, at about stationary prices. Spring corn and maize ruled firm. Scarcely any English barley was on sale. The supply of foreign barley on the stands was but moderate, and the trade ruled firm, at full currencies. ' ' About an average business was done in malt, at late rates. Although the supply of oats on sale was largo the trade was tolerably active as regards most qualities. In some instances good and fine corn sold at rather more money than on Monday last. The supply was almost entirely confined to foreign produce. No change took place in the value of beans. The supply on offer was limited, and the trade, on the whole, ruled firm. The fow peas on offer changed hands at late rates. For flour there was a moderate demand. Prices both of English and foreign qualities ruled stationary. CURRENCY PER IMP.

Our market to-day was heavily supplied with foreign stock ; but the quality of both beasts and sheep was very middling. Sales progressed slowly, but at full prices. The arrivals of English beasts, fresh up this morning, were again very moderate for this time of year, and most breeds came to hand in middling condition. Prime Scots, short-horns, Downs, &c., sold readily at fully late rates. Otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state at about last week's currency. The value of the primest short horns ranged from 5s 4d to 5s 6d. In some instances 5s 8d per 81bs was realised. The supply from Scotland was prime, from Ireland very moderate. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 1,800 short-horns, &c., from other parts of England, 800 various breeds ; from Scotland, 280 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 50 oxen and heifers. With English sheep we were again but moderately sup plied, and we observed no improvement in their general quality. Downs, half-breds, and Lincolns, changed hands freely at full prices.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SAD OCCURRENCE.—James Took, a cab-driver, badge 9,843, living in Pool's-buildings, Gray's-inn-lane, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with causing the death of a boy about 13 years of age, named Alfred Garrett, by driv ing over him with a horse and cab. Police-constable llarv®y Lee, 91 A, said—On the pre vious afternoon he was on duty at Hyde-park-corner when he saw the prisoner driving a horse and cab and a boy named Alfred Garrett crossing the road. While the boy was doing so, and was just in front of the horse, he slipped suddenly, and the wheel of the cab passed over his head. The boy was immediately taken to St. George's Hospital, but died before getting there. • In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable said the pri soner was going at a steady trot, and that if the boy had not slipped he would have got across safely. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded tho prisoner on his own recog nisance. It was stated in court that the mother of the deceased boy is now in a dying state, having been ill for some time Past. WESTMINSTER. DRUNK AND ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—John Quin, a labourer, was charged before Mr. Partridge with a violent assault on the person of G. Wilkinson, under the follow ing circumstances : _ It appeared that on Saturday evening the complainant was in the Vauxhall-bridge-road, when the prisoner, who had a dog with him held by a chain, which went towards the complainant, when the latter made a kick at the animal but did not touch it. The prisoner, without saying a word, gave him a violenk blow upon the cheek. Complainant remonstrated with the prisoner, when the latter repeated the blow in the same place. A police-constable came up, who was also struck. He was then taken into custody. Mr. Peter Hopkinson stated that at the time in question he was passing the spot, when he saw a crowd assembled. The prisoner was in the midst of it, using very bad language. Tho prisoner did not deny the assault. Mr. Partrilge said that the police must be protected, and that the prisoner had committed a most violent and un provoked assault, and that he must punish him severely. The prisoner was fined 405., or in default one month's imprisonment. THAMES. Mr. Selfe, of the Westminster Police-court, and who was for seven years a magistrate of this court, presided to day. There were 22 cases from the K division, 6 from the H division, and 2 from the Thames division. There are also 5 remanded cases and 12 summonses to be heard, besides the cases that may turn up in the course of the day. A tolerably good day's work is cut out for the magis•. trate and clerks, but it is comparatively a light Monday, the number of night charges having sometimes exceeded 50. Mr. Selfe was occupied for one hour in hearing appli cations for warrants and summonses, and seeking advice on subjects of every description. The appli cants were about 100 in number, and a ready answer was required in each case. These matters being disposed of, the hearing of the n*ht,charges was proceeded , with. Catherine Pomfret, aged 26, of No. 17, Tredegar-place, Bow, wet nurse, was charged with being drunk and in capable of taking care of herself in the Bow-road. Charles Loneth, a police-constable, 345 K, stated that the prisoner's mistress had lately died, and she became excited and flow to drink. She was making a disturbance in the Bow-road, and abusing the father of her child about the time people were going to church. Her language was very bad, and she collected a disorderly crowd. She was more excited than drunk. Mr. Selfe—The charge on the sheet is being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. The constable--Sh e had been drinking. Mr. Selfe asked if the prisoner had been locked up since yesterday morning. The constable answered in the affirmative. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner got drunk because her mis tress died, and some people indulged in habits of intoxica tion because there was a marriage, or a child born, or any event in life. The prisoner had been locked up many hours, and he would discharge her. George Sherwood, a dock labourer, was charged with being dead drunk in the West India dock. He had boen at work among tho ruins on the quay, whore there were some thousand casks of rum. The prisoner said he drank two or three pints of beer on Saturday. Beer always had an effect on him. Mr. Selfe—Particularly when you put rum on the top of it. You are fined ss. Vacancies, Promotions, and Appointments in the Civil Service, (From the Civil Service Gazette.)

The election of 16 Peers to represent Scotland in the ensuing Parliament took place on Friday in the Picture-gallery of Holyrood Palace. As formerly intimated, special arrangements had been made, under the superintendence of Mr. Matheson, of her Majesty's Board of Works, for affording increased and more convenient accommodation for spectators of the ceremonial than had been given on previous occasions. In the west end of the apartment a raised platform had been constructed for the friends of Peers, and in the east end a similar platform had also been erected for the public. Along the centre of the hall ran a table for the accommodation of the Peers. At the head of the table a chair was placed for the Lord Clerk Register, who presided at the election. There was a large and brilliant assem blage, the two platforms being completely filled with spectators, while a large number of seats which had been provided in the centre of the hall for the friends of Peers were also occupied. Shortly before noon, the Lord Provost and Baillies Cassels, Alexander, Hill, Handyside, and Miller, attired in their official robes, entered the Picture gallery, preceded by the city mace and halberd men, and took up a central , position facing the Peers' table. Revs. Drs Lee and Crawford, Deans of the Chapel Royal, next entered the hall, and occupied chairs in front of the west platform. The Right Hon. Sir William Gibson-Craig, the Lord Clerk Register, took his seat at'l2 o'clock, accom panied by Mr. W. P. Dundas, Deputy-Clerk Regis ter ; Mr. Archibald M'Neill and Mr. H. M. Inglis, Principal Clerks of Session ; with Mr. George B. Robertson, Deputy-Keeper of the Records ; and Mr. William Drysdale and Mr. John Adams, jun., Depute-Clerks of Session. The following Peers, 24 in number, took their seats at the table, the company rising as they entered the hall :—The Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, the Duke of Montrose, the Marquis of Tweeddale, the Earl of Morton, the Earl of Home, the Earl of Perth, the Earl of Haddington, the Earl of Lauder dale, the Earl of Wemyss, the Earl of Dalhousie, the Earl of Leven and Melville, the Earl of Selkirk, the Earl of Kintore, the Earl of Dunmore, the Earl of Stair, Viscount Strathallan, Lord Saltoun, Lord Sinclair, Lord Elphinstone, Lord Blantyre, Lord Colville, Lord Belhaven, Lord Rollo, and Lord Polwarth. Dr. LEE having opened the proceedings with prayer, Mr. H. W. INGLIS, Principal Clerk of Session, read the proclamation appointing the election, and also a certificate to the effect that the proclamation had been duly read at the City Cross. The LORD CLERK REGISTER intimated that Mr. M'Neill vAmld now call the list of Peers. Mr. A. M'NEILL, Principal Clerk of Session, then read the roll of the Peerage of Scotland as it existed at the Union, commencing with the Prince of Wales as Duke of Rothesay, and including a number of extinct, merged, and dormant peerages. All the Peers present answered to their names, and when the name of the Earl of Crawford was called, Lord BELLIIAVEN said I have here a protest by the Earl of Sutherland against any Earl of Scotland being called before him. At the same time I hand in a proxy from the Earl of Sutherland. Mr. INGLIS read the document handed in by Lord Belhaven, which was a formal protest on the part of George Granville, Earl of Sutherland, against the vote of any Earl of Scotland being reckoned be fore his vote, and claiming precedence over any of the Earls of Scotland. The protest also contained a:statement that a similar protest had been made on behalf of the Earl of Sutherland in 1841. When the name of Lord Gray was called, The LORD CLERK REGISTER said he had received a signed list from Lord Gray, but he regretted that he could not receive it. Lord Gray had taken the oath before the Vice-Consul at Dieppe ; but by the act of 15 and 16th Vict., it was specially directed that any Peer of Scotland residing abroad must take the oath before the British Ambassador or Minister accredited to any foreign Court, or the Secretary of any such Embassy or Legation. The Vice-Con sul not being included in the personages named by the act, he regretted that his lordship's signed list could not be received. The Lord Clerk Register then administered the oath of allegiance to the Peers, Mr. Inglis reading the oath, and the Peers all standing as it was read. The LORD CLERK REGISTER next intimated that the oath would be sent round for the signature of each peer, and he requested each peer, while the oath was going round, to prepare the list of the peers for whom they were intending to vote. The votes were then called for by signed lists, which each peer read in succession and handed to the clerks. The majority of the lists contained the names of the 16 peers who represented Scotland in the House of Lords in the last Parliament, with the exception that the Earl of Leven and Melville's name was substituted for that of the Earl of Strath- more. In addition to the 24 peers present, there voted the Earl of Sutherland through Lord Belhaven as his proxy, and the Earl of Galloway through the Earl of Selkirk as his proxy. The following eleven peers also voted by means of signed lists sent in and duly authenticated ac cording to law :—The Duke of Athole, the Earl of Mar and Kelley, the Earl of Caithness, the Earl of Airlie, the Earl of Orkney, the Earl of Rosebury, Viscount Falkland, Viscount Arbuthnot, Lord Lovat, Lord Torphichen, and Lord Forrester. The votes having all been recorded, The LORD CLERK REGISTER said—The votes have now been summed up, and I have to announce that the result of the voting has been that the following sixteen peers have been elected and chosen to sit and vote in the house of Peers : No. of Votes.

The execu tors and trustees are William Thomas Farnell (his brother) and William Farnell Watson (his nephew). The will is dated Sept. 29, 1854, and the testator died on the 3d of last month.

He divides the residue of the property into five parts, leaving to his brothers John, James, and Williams each a fifth part ; and to his brother Henry an annuity of £lOO, to be paid out of another fifth part, leaving the remainder thereof between his sister Amelia and her son, Wil liaw Farnell Watson ; the remaining fifth part be tween his nephew and nieces, Margaret Watson, Lavinia Farnell, and Henry Farnell, junior. The will of Jeremiah Robert Ives, Esq., of Bent worth Hall, near Alton, Hants, and of 41, Hertford street, Mayfair, was proved in London, on the 4th inst., under £140,000 personalty—the executors being Richard Hodgson, Esq., of Carlton Hall, Northumberland, and Henry Kett Tompson, Esq., of Witchingham Hall, Norfolk. The testator confirms his settlement on marriages, leaves his town residence, together with the furniture there and at Bentworth Hall, and the car riages, horses, &c., to his wife, the Hon. Emma Ives, daughter of the third Viscount Maynard, and leaves-lier a life interest in Bentworth Hall, as well as a life interest in estates in Suffolk. The Bent worth Hall estate, subject to his wife's interest, is invested in his son and heir, Gordon Maynard Ives, of the Coldstream Guards ; other estates he has de vised to his only other son, Cecil Robert St. John Ives. He leaves £lO,OOO to his son Gordon ; also the interest of £40,000 for life, and the principal to his son's children ; to his son Cecil, £30,000 ; lega cies to his brother, Ferdinand Ives, and to three nieces and to two brothers-in-law ; to each of his executors £lOO.

The will of John Maitland, M.D., Deputy In spector-General of Army Hospitals, formerly Sur geon-Major of the Royal Canadian Rifles, was proved, in London, by his relict, Madeline Maitland, power being reserved to Colonel Patrick L. M'Dougall, of the Canadian Rifles, and Thomas Kirkpatrick, Esq., of Kingston, Canada—the will, dated Dec. 4, 1858, having been first proved in the Court of Frontanan, Canada, in April last, though the testator died at Anglesea, near Gosport, on Jan. 23. He bequeaths to his wife the whole of his property, real and personal, wheresoever situate, for her life, for the support of herself and children, and at her decease the same is to be equally divided amongst all her children. The will of the Rev. Charles Tripp, D.D., late Rector of Silverton, Devon, was proved in Exeter, July 6, by his eldest son, the Rev. H. Tripp, M.A., Rector of Winford, Somerset. The personalty was sworn under £7,000 ; and the deceased held estates in the parishes of Old Cleeve, St. Decumans, and Huntspill, Somerset ; and the advowson of the living of Sanfford Brett. Dr. Tripp was nearly 81 at the time of his death, in April last, and he had been in the commission of the peace upwards of 30 years, being a magistrate both of Devon and Somerset. He married, in 1815, Frances, daughter of Briga dier-General Owen, and sister of the late Sir William Owen, Bart., by whom he had ten children, six of whom survive him. His widow is the lasi survivor of the ancient family of the Owens o Orielton, Pembrokeshire, the baronetcy having be. come extinct on the death of Sir Wm. Owen in 1851 The New Epizootic Disease amongst Horned Cattle. We are sorry to find that tile reports which have been rife respecting the outbreak of a severe epizootic amongst dairy cows are not without foundation. The first cases are said to have happened in Mrs. Nicholl's cowsheds at Islington. They were attended by Mr. Priestmin, aveterinary surgeon in the Caledonian-road, and he believes that he had seen a solitary case of the same disease previously in a dairy at Hackney ; but about this there seems to be a little doubt. The first cows attacked at Nicholl's sheds were six new cows which had been purchased about a week previously in the Metropolitan Cattle Market. Twor or three of these cows were attacked on June 23. They all had the disease and died. It is the custom at this dairy to place newly pur chased cows in a shed by themselves for a short time ; but it so happened that in the separate shed kept for this purpose two or three old cowsbad been placedwith them. The prin cipal shed, containing over 90 cows, is airy, habitually kept clean, and well ventilated, and situated 50 or 60 feet from the quarantine shed on the opposite side of a paved yard, on which the dung is heaped before being removed. The same men who attend to the quarantine shed attend also to the principle shed. After the new cows the next attacked were some in the principal shed, the old cows in the quarantine shed being seized later. The disease spread rapidly, and it was considered advisable to send the healthy cows to the fields. Still it spread amongst the stock, until at the time we write no less than 110 or 115 cows have died or been killekon account of it. Adjoining the cow sheds are layers, in which cattle are received prior to the market. Of all the cows attacked only three re covered after a fortnight's illness, and having seen them we can testify that they are in a miserable state of emacia tion. Since the outbreak in this shed the disease has been observed in many dairies, large and small, in the north of London, and we are informed at the Veterinary College that it has also proved fatal as an epizootic at Doncaster, Burton-on-Trent, and in other parts of the country. We are informed at the Veterinary College, whererinesehsavise seen a case of the disease, that the c ourse of the i healthy, is as follows :—The cow, previously quitenan hour o y ; is suddenly seized with trembling or rigors two purging of thin, ffecal matter occ urs fi o u ; o i n d, followed by purging of a thin, watery, brown, serous sometimes . y course, the milk is at accompanied with a little blood. once suppressed. Soon after a s ero O u f sdisch o arg . e takes place from the nose, and the mucus membranet f . the . nose and vagina are observed to become denuded o epithelium. Some times there is tympanitis. Prostration and collapse follow, the extremities become cold, and subcutaneous emphysema is observed in the loins. Death usually results in a period of from 12 hours to seven days. We understand that Prof. Simonds regards the disease as identical with the rinderpest or steppe murrain of Russia and Austria. Others regard it as a typhoid or enteric fever. On examination after death the intestinal mucus membrane is found reddened, especially towards the rectum, and Peyer's glands enlarged, and with this there are emphysema of the lungs and other organs. From what we have said it would appear likely that the disease has been imported through the agenoy of Spanish or Hungarian cattle, which Nicholl's cows must have been in relation with, either in the market or the layers adjoining their sheds. There are some difficulties in deciding upon its spread by contagion alone, inasmuch as in one shed near the Veterinary College where ten cows were kept which had not been out of the shed, into which no now Cows had been introduced, the disease broke out about a fortnight ago. Two or three cows were seized the same day, and in a week all were dead. We have made inquiries amongst the cow keepers at Islington, and find that in one of the largest sheds, where 400 cows aro kept, not a single case has happened ; that on the eastern half of that parish no cases have been found, but that some of the sheds on the western part of the parish have suffered more or less, some severely—one cowkeeper has lost all his cows. Several of the cowkeepers state that they have made up their minds on the occurrence of the first case to sell off all their stock. An order in council was issued on the 24th Lust. for inspection of cattle under the Act of 1850.—Medical Times and Gazette. A new, and, if its reported success is confirmed, a most important remedy for the cure of aggravated pulmonary complaints, is now being experimented on by the medical profession in Paris. It is the administration of raw meat, or of warm blood of animals, to patients in the last stages of consumption. Drs. Montargis, of Paris, Des martis, of Bordeaux, and Foster, of Montpelier, have, each with some modifications, employed this singular remedy in their practice, and according to their statements produced wonderful results. When the warm blood is given, it is disguised so that the patient is not aware of what he is drinking. It is also stated to be ve* eftleacious in scrofu lous diseases and chronic dysentery.

The traffic receipts of the Metropolitan Extension Railways of the London, Chatham, and Dover Company this week show an increase of £420 over the corresponding week of last year. The report of the English, Scottish, and Austra lian Chartered Bank, presented to the meeting of shareholders to-day, for the half-year ending March 31 in the colonies, and to June 30 in London, states that the balance of profits, after making provision for bad and doubtful debts, was £22,538. They therefore recommended that out of the balance of £22,538 17s. 7d. a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent., free of income tax, on £600,000, the paid-up capital, which will require £21,000 ; that the pre mises and furniture accounts be reduced by £l,OOO ; and that £538 17s. 7d. be brought forward to the current half-year. At the meeting to-day of the shareholders of the Joint Stock Discount Company the report was adopted, which showed a gross profit of £54,073, inclusive of £3,248 brought forward. After deduct ing rebate of interest on bills not due, and the cur rent expenses, the directors recommend a dividend of six per cent., carrying forward £6,573. Of the amount of the company's claim against the Leeds Banking Company more than 10s. in the pound has been already received, and the directors believe the entire amount, with interest, will be realised. The RIGHT OF PROPERTY IN AMERICAN COTTON. —An important case, the United States of America v. Prioleau, was argued before Vice-Chancellor Wood on Wednesday. It was a motion to restrain the defendant, a Confederate agent, and others, from disposing of a freight of cotton, consisting of 1,500 bales or thereabouts, which had been shipped from Havana per the Arline, to be turned into money for the purposes of the Confederates, and which was now lying in the Mersey Company's docks, at Liver pool. The plaintiffs claimed the property as the lawful governors of the United States. Thbdefendants insisted that their title as successful runners of the blockade was a good one, and that even if it were not, the title of the United States was subject to the rights 'in the cotton of Prioleau, who alleged he was a loser of £20,000 and upwards by the Confederates. The Vice Chancellor said he was clearly of opinion that the plaintiffs were entitled to the cotton in question ; but whether or not subject to the agreement between the defunct Government and Mr. Prioleau was a more serious question. The transaction was a transaction between a Government de facto and the citizen of a country not connected with the belligerents. In the first place it was for the Court to see to whom the cotton belonged at the time when the transaction was entered' upon. Upon the evidence it could not be doubted but that it was the property of the Confederate States. It was the produce of moneys con tributed to be levied as taxes by the Government of those. States. It was not the property of any individual state of America ; if it had been, the peculiar constitution of the United States in this respect might have led to difficult questions. But it was plain that the money which produced the cotton was levied in more than one state, and was the property of the Government of the re volted Confederation. Next to be considered was this: What was that Government ? It was not a more band of marauders ; not a set of persons plundering a country and living upon the plunder they levied. It was an actual, a de facto " government," exercising authority and receiving submission as such. It had now come to an end, and its functions been resumed and its authority suppressed by the plaintiffs. What was the law appli cable to this state of things ? It could not be doubted .for a moment. International law—the consent of all ci vilised nations—had settled beyond dispute that when ade fac t o government came to an end, and was succee de d by another government, the p r operty of the de facto govern ment passed to its successors. But the n arose t he ques tion, did not the successors take such proper t ybound of their predecessors ? Subject to any argument by the agreements, and affecte d b y the equities e N t v i h m it ttes hmiolt e be ir adduced s o t i t i theeesshearingrs were so bound. o f thecause,end. clearly, it clearly therefore,appeared tat the e e as at present advised, the plaintiffs must take this cotton subject to the agreement between the lato Government and the defendant Prioleau. But upon that agreement nuich question might arise. The expenses of transit should come out of the amount, but beyond this there was much question. One half the residue appeared pretty certainly to be the property of tho defunct. Government, under the agreemeut, and of course that would pass to the plaintiffs. As to the other half, more question attached. All those questions, however, wore matters for determination at the hearing, and the Court had nothing to do now but to take care that, considering the lame amount at stake, the plaintiffs were held harm less. The value of the cotton, in round numbers, appeared to be about X,19,000, awl the elder •tllcrefore, that Prioleau hi; appoiuted reeeiv el. in which would enabla hint to dispose of the celi,et. and pay all proper charges. 3:c.), he either giving se.•w ity for 24000. or paying that amount into court. a he might think before the beevnti. of uelt term.
