X ONEY - KARKET CaRMER AND OIAL 'l7 The Money Market is quiet, as the brokers will not ne g ot iate commercial bill s upon a l arge sca l e, 'while the state of financial affairs remains unsettled. The receipt from A mer i ca yesterday a f ternoon of ,earlY £1,000,000 , an d the intelligence that a urther large amount is coming forward, have 413 d assisted to create a very f avoura b le i mpression, there i s also reason for believing that the e t n d of the fi nancial panic has been seen. At the an k of Engl an d the inquiry for assistance is still ac tive, but as soon as confidence shall be more fully resterod , the brokers in the discount market will evince greater inclinalion to enter into monetary transactions.

They have been well treated both by the proprietors of the Helvetia and by the publicautborities ; but in consequence of the exigencies of the situation many of them have been reduced to destitution from the necessity to destroy their bedding, clothes, and other effects. In addition to this, the poor people, who were utter strangers to the country, were in many instances obliged to spend what little money they were possessed of to obtain the extra articles of food and sustenance which they required. Subscriptions have flowed in pretty freely, and yesterday afternoon the greater portion of the emigrants were embarked from Birkenhead and Liverpool, and again placed on board the Helvetia which has been thoroughly cleaned and fumigated and re fitted for their reception. After undergoing a careful medical inspection the passengers will sail to-day in the ilelYotiA for New York. Juno. 5 dis YOSS.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde without Juries.) KOSKELSKE V. KOSKELSKE. This was a suit institute I by the wife for a dissolution of marriage, on the ground of the cruelty and adultery of her husband, to which he pleaded denial. Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Mr. Lord were.for the petitioner, and the respondent, who is a wine merchant, defended himself. From the evidence for the petitioner it appeared that her mother kept a lodging-house at Mo rnington-road, where the respondent was in the habit of visiting ono of the lodgers, and an intimacy sprang up between him and the petitioner, which ended in their being married at St. Pancras Church in January, 1864. There was one child issue of the marriage still living. The ill-treatment consisted of abusive language and imputations on her moral character, and were alleged to have been committed about a fortnight after marriage. There was no act of personal violence charged against tho respon dent. The adultery alleged was stated to have been committed with a servant girl. Last December was con fined in Whitecross-street Prison, and the petitioner dis covered that he had been carrying on au improper inter course with another female for ten years. The respondent called several witnesses, who deposed that the parties appeared to live on good terms, and the most positive evidence was given in denial of some of the allegations of the petitioner. He asserted also that he led a most wretched life with his mother-in-law and wife. He did not address the court in his behalf, Dr. Deane summed up the evidence and contended that the witnesses called were not sufficiently acquainted with the domestic life of the parties to be able to speak as to the terms on which they lived during the period of their cohabitation. His Lordship said that the evidence went to show that the respondent had been guilty of very rascally language to his wife, and such as no man should use but that would not of itself be such as to constitute legal cruelty. But there was another charge of cruelty, which he considered fully proved. W ith regard to the adultery, one of the females with whom it was alleged to have been committed had stated in the witness box that there had been such adultery, but with the evidence in regard to that adultery he might pessibly not have been satisfied. But it appeared that he had been living along with another woman before his marriage, by whom he had two children, and whom he was in the habit of visiting frequently after the marriage although he was_not in the habit of remaining with her long. While he was in prison this woman stated to Mr. White, the solicitor for the petitioner, that the respondent had had connection since his marriage, although she denied this in the box, probably having become recon ciled to the respondent, and having repented what she had done. He felt bound to pronounce a decree nisi, with costs against the respondent. Dr. Deane then applied to the Court that the petitioner should have the custody of the child which was prayed for in the petition. His lordship decided in the affirmative, the respondent being allowed to Lave fICCCTS to the child at such times as might be agreed upon between him and the petitioner's solicitor. POLICE INTELLIGEN CE.---This Day. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE ASCOT STAKES DAY. The promise of a very brilliant . meeting was fully realised to-day on the opening day of Royal Ascot. Favoured with the most lovely weather and honoured by the presence of their Royal llighnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, Duke of Edin burgh, and Prince of Teck, the course presented a very lovely aspect, and it was generally acknow ledged that the " Stakes Day" was never so largely attended. The long line of drags and carriages opposite the Stand occupied, as they were, with elegantly-dressed ladies, gave an additional charm to the scene, and, the stand and enclosure being well filled, no greater contrast could possibly be imagined to the dreary appearance which the heath presented at the late Spring Meeting. There was an abundance of sport, commencing at half-past one with the Trial Stakes, and concluding at 5.40 with the Twelfth Ascot Triennial Stakes ; and, as will be seen by the annexed return, the fields were very numerous. Speculation was exceedingly brisk, but the luck of the backers was decidedly not in the ascendant, the defeat of the Duke twice, and the overthrow of Lord Lyon by Rustic in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, being severe blows to those who had " plunged" on these supposed " certainties." It is unnecessary to comment on the running, every de tail of which will be found below ; but we may re mark that the non -starting of Ackworth for the Stakes called forth some disagreeable remarks from the public as the horse had been heavily supported both up to and during yesterday morning. We were glad to observe Fordham in the saddle again after his long compulsory absence from the pigskin, and his success with Rustic was received with quite as much enthusiasm as is associated with the Derby, the Duke of Beaufort when he appeared being again and again loudly cheered. There was literally no time for speculation on future events, the book makers' time being so fully occupied with the various events unda - discussion. Lord Lyon, after his de feat, was somewhat. unsteady 'in the St. Leger quotations, but he • quickly - regained his firmness, and sto 2 was taken to hundreds.

TEE EARL or STAMFORD v. DAWSON.—This case, to which we made allusion in our Saturday's impression, has been decided in favour of Lord Stamford. With regard to Chesterfield House and the stables, the Vice-Chancellor decreed that Dawson was no more than an agent or trus tee for the plaintiff ; and with respect to Chippenham Gallop, the case was of too shadowy a character to enter tain jurisdiction, although his Honour intimated that if he had had to decide the legal question he would have done 60 in favour of the plaintiff. The defendant has to pny the costs of suit, except so far as they had been increased by any claim set up by the plaintiff to the Chippenham Gal lop; but the plaintiff has not to pay any costs in respect of that claim.

RESCUED FROM MISERY.—SENDING A GIRL OUT TO BEG —Lavinia Connor, a girl, was charged before Mr.Tyrwhitt by the Marquis Townshend with placing herself in Picca dilly for the purpose of exciting charity. The Marquis said that, on the previous evening, he saw the little girl sitting on a door step in Piccadilly for the purpose of exciting charity. She had pursued a similar practice for the past 12 months, and about that time he had assisted her mother, in the hope that it might be of benefit to the girl, but it appeared that the mother had not only sent her own girl out to beg, but another girl with her. The girl was in the habit, every time he saw her, of running away as fast as ever she could, but yesterday evening he succeeded in handing her over to the police, thinking it desirable that something should be done for her. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the girl her age. The girl, whose appearance was most wretched, she being only about half clad, and with naked feet, said she was about 12. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the child ought to be out of such hands she appeared to be in. Mr. Welsh, tho office keeper, said he could find a school 'or the girl. Mr Tyrwhitt said the child was a good subject for an industrial school for girls, and he would remand her for a week, so that she might be rendered fit to be admitted to an industrial school. THAMES. THE STRIKE OF SEAMEN IN THE PORT OF LONDON.— John Crawford, a seaman, was brought before Mr. Part ridge, charged with illegally deserting from the steamship Forth, while under a written agreement to serve in that vessel as a stoker, for 255. per week. Mr. W. Goynes, solicitor on the part of the Carron Com pany, said the prisoner deserted the Forth yesterdaymorn ing, in the parish of Aldgate, off the Carron-wharf. This was a case arising out of the strike of seamen in the port of London, and was of the greatest impor.ance to the com merce of the port, which could not be carried on unless seamen fulfilled theirengagements. The Forth wasa vessel trading between London and Grangemouth, and the prisoner ' was engaged at Grangemouth, on the 10th of January last, at the rate of 255. Per week: The vessel arrived here on Sunday morning, and the prisoner deserted yesterday (Tuesday) morning, and was found the same night acting as stoker on board the Palmerston, a saloon passenger vessel used in the river. Evidence was given of the engagement and desertion, and it was stated that it was the practice to pay the crow every fortnight at Grangemouth, and that it was the practice for all engagements to cease there, and not in London. Richard Newton, a Thames police constable, said he arrested the prisoner on board the Palmerston yesterday evening, and he said he did belong to the Forth, and dad not intend to go in her again, but intended to go on board and obtain his clothes. The prisoner said ho had a quarrel ivith the engineer of the Forth yesterday, and that caused him to leave the vessel. Mr. Partridge said he did not wish to send the prisoner to gaol, and asked him if he would go back to the Forth? If he did noi, ho would be liable to 12 mouths' imprison ment and hard labour. The prisoner said he would return to the ship and do his duty. The solicitor and wharfinger of the Carron-wharf said they would not receive the prisoner on board the Forth again, and tho magistrate simply declared four days' wages due to the erisoner to be forfeited, and discharged him. Mr. Partridge at the same time observed that the articles of agreement were very loosely drawn, and there was not a word about notice or the duration of the agreement. MARKETS.---This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate. The demand for all qualities was in a very sluggish state, yet no change took tlaco in prices, as compared with Monday. With foreign wheat the market was fairly supplied. In all descriptions a very moderate business was transacted, at late rates. Floating c argoes of grain moved off s l ow l y , a t l a t e cur- rencies. English barley was in short supply, but the market was fairly supplied with foreign produce. The barley trade was very quiet, at late rates. Malt was in slow request, at Monday's currency. Oats were in good supply, and the demand was in a sluggish state, with a downward tendency in prices. Beans and peas were firm, at full quotations. There was a fair demand for flour, at fully late rates. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The twenty-eighth annual meeting of the London Society ,for Teaching the Blind to Read and for Training them in Industrial Occupations was held yesterday afternoon in the Hanover-square Rooms, under the presidency of the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., who, in a very touching introductory ad dress, enumerated some of the many and lasting benefits the school. in 'Upper Avenue-road, St. 2 1 John's-wood, had c on f erre d u p on th e p oor blind, t not only in the metropolis, but throughout the T country. :Many improvements in that institution were contemplated by the committee, and were in deed absolutely necessary, but they must be deferred ' until additional funds could be obtained, and he therefore made an earnest appeal for the support of the benevolent public. The report stated that the school had gone on prospering in almost every par ticular during the past year. The ordinary current income had sufficed to meet current expenses, while the proceeds of the festival, held in Willis's-rooms, on the 15th July last, added to those of the fancy sale, had enabled the committee not only to meet all their remaining liabilities under the building and organ contracts, but also to replace the Life Nomination Fund, on which they were compelled to trespass for a season. A mortgage of £BOO had also been redeemed from other sources. Numerous applications had been made to the committee to re ceive blind pupils of a high er proportionately higher scale class, and on such of payment might provide something of the nature of parlour boarders'" accommodation. Having regard to these' applications, and the tenour of an c a li l n l g ic a le tte i n n t t io h n e Quarterly Review for Oct o b er last, al to the existing lack of education for the blind among the middle and upper classes; the committee are anxiously considering whether anything can be done to supply the alleged deficiency. They are, however, unable at present to see their way to co-operati:z.g in a scheme devisedby Mr. Henry liingseote for the erection of 'workshops for the employment of the London blind, who have already . been e d ucated number n t er various d r es i bli e n n td lblind teachers schools tll a m nd pupils etro poli at pre sent s . .Th unab in the institution is 54. Of these 28 are males, and 26 females. - There are also 15 day-scholars. The receipts of the year had amounted to £3,782 uls. 9d.,- and the expenditure left a balance in favour of the society of £23, which, added to the funds in the hands of the Consolidated Bank, made an available sum of £725105. 6d. After the adop tion of the report, which' 'vas moved by the Rev. P. Gell, one of her Majesty's chaplains for India, and seconded by the Rev. Joshua Kirkman, of St. John's Chapel, Hampstead, the pupils in the school read portions of scripture, sang a hymn, a carol, a psalm, and a glee; three of them performing solos on the pianoforte. Mr. James Gale, the inventor of the non-explosive gunpowder process, and foun der of the Plymouth school for the blind, being himself blind, delivered an address, and the proceed ings concluded with the National Anthem, led off by Mr. Edwin Barnes, the professor of music to the Society's schools.

The following bills were read a third mid passed :—The Eeconomic Telegraph Company cud Severn Junetiou. Railway. ELECTIVE FRANCHISE BILL Mr. CLAY moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to confer the elective franchise upon all persons of full age, and who were capable of uud:tr going an educational test in reading, writing, and arith metic. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he must oppose the motion, and in doing so ho thought that course was much better to pursue than td follow thr, course which was in fashion elsewhere, to 'pick certain portions of the bill and show that it fell short of the cl).',ect intended. If he thought that all th o conditions otnn educational test could always be obtained, , he. should not object to it ;. or if a test of that description could be formed on extreme simplicity, he should not so much object ; but to take, for instance, the test of writing a signature, why it was patent that the signatures, of some of the most highly-educated of our me was illegible. He objected to the bill because there -,v a s no presumptive or prima facie ground for it, and also be cause it proceeded upon the principal of universal suf frage. Of course it was desirable that education should become universal, yet that time "had not yet, arrived in toEnhfaagnlld. f t t, u thlnaitl yr lle rsihv t oi h jue o lg u do g r h se t hee i o t iuvled more tbhee d ee e ol si eenf ra teir b vr l ee e th conferred upon peohnti franchise f ae e 3i. a ,ot t tu h lin e eg r r man itlejmuasnt frpesrhopolsreodni sthchaot a test of w r iti ng from The t . right 31 elementary r honourable iuthndeeltyco. Such a test was much more severe those who a ) than was requ i re d b y C° a rn s justm Commission iu f ront o of those ethlsientsewcohwiicplied for d h broke t c h l e e rk C s i h v i i S e p l s,a r n v d i Service it w down more applicant s t h an era thing men tion. (Hear, hear.) Then, with respect to the arithmetical test—with addition, subsc rac ti on, and xnultiplicationtheio would, he apprehended, be no diffi culty ; but he shoul d like to know how many labourers in that country could pass an examination in division of money—(h ear, hear) ; but, flying at higher game, he should like to know how many members of that house could undergo success-- fully such an examination. He should like to k now how many members could take a given uneven large sum o f money and divide it by £2 13s. Bd. (Laughter, and cries of "Oh, oh.") He did not mean to say that there were not some members who could perform the operation, but the majority he contended in that house— Lord R. MONTAGU said that no division could be - worked oat with such figures. (Loud laughter.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said one illustration was worth a thousand arguments—(loud laughter) —and yet the noble lord opposite was one of the financial authorities in that house. (Loud laughter.) He was fully alive to the high intentions of the right hon. gentleman who had introduced the bill ; the Government had no fear of the £7 franchise, but the qualification pro posed by the bill now under discussion was of a nature that would produce nothing but failure. It was quite true that where some men saw daylight, another saw nothing but darkness, and giving the highest motives to the hon. gentleman, he thought the bill would act directly the reverse of the object intended, and therefore be should move that the bill be read a second time _that day six months. Lord R. MONTAGU' said he did not rise to complain of the extremely conservative tone of the speech, but to express his hope that when the bill was read a second time, it would be referred to a certain committee as a complement of the Reform Bill, lle felt certain. that there were many highly and respectable and intelligent men who never could hope to exercise the elective franchise without an educational test was adopted. If the test proposed was more severe than the test ad opted by the Civil Service Commissioners, then • he thought that test was altogether a farce, and the sooner, it was remedied the better. With respect to the arith metical problem of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, lie contended that you could divide by sum but not by money, and Professor de Morgan would bear him out in that opi nion. The only claim that he regarded to the electoral franchise was intelligence ; if the man had the knowledge how to give a - Vote for tile benefit of -his fellow-citizens, then in his opinion he had a right to the elective franchise, and therefore he trusted that the bill would be amalgamated with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he should vote for the second reading. Mr. CLIVE said tho speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer had heightened his opinion of the bill, because tho right hon. gentleman had entered Unto an elaborate description of the measure before he had even read it through, or ho would not have fallen into so many mis-. takes with respect to its enactments. Ho preferred the text of the bill to that of the Government, because ho looked upon the £7 franchise as merely a compromise proposed by the Government between contending parties. Mr. EWART supported the bill. _ _ Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had heard nothing from . the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who ought to deter the house from considering the bill in the fullest manner, be: cause it appeared to him to contain materials which evi dently might lead to the settlement of the vexed question of reform. He doubted whether, if the bill was rejected, the house would be so submissive to the will of the Govern ment that they would continuo their sittings until October. He could not, entertaining the sentiments that he did, consent to vote against the principle laid down in the bill,' bit in giving his vote in its favour he reserved to himself the right of objecting to many of its provisions in com mittee. Mr. GOSCHEN said he was much gratified bythe speech of the riglit hen. baronet who had just sat clown, because ho admitted the one qualification that was required in the working class to entitle them to the franchise was fitness. If hon. gentlemen intend to vote for this bill as a supplemental measure to the Reform Bill introduced by the Government, they would be but acting precisely as they bad on Mon day night, namely, throwing every obstacle in the way of the passing of a measure they had declared ought not to receive the assent of Parliament. lie did not know how hon. gentlemen opposite had given their consent to the bill, especially as they had not called for statistics, which were invariably required by the honourable member for Stamford. (Hear, hear.) The bill was in principle ono of universal suffrage, whiist in principal it would ad mit but very few to the privilege it sought to confer. It appeared to him that the bill was supported by the oppo site side of the house merely to obstruct the measure in troduced by the Government, and not with any real desire to extend the suffrage in the manner it proposed. Mr. B. HOPE said ho should vote for the bill in the hope that it might be referred to immaculate committee, which was to produce a perfect and complete reform bill under the guidance of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. DENMAN objected to the bill, because by the test proposed a larger number of working men would be was ead mjtted to th e exorc i se of the elect i ve franchiseint h mistakedesirab when i desirable. He thought wougahstparonpoesded to adopt ueationalt it alto g e ther in politicalgthea matters. [LEFT SITTING.] Live loci Cotton ittarilet. —Etis Day.
