Bar gold of the value of £54,000 was taken to the Bank yesterday, and there was a withdrawal of £ll,OOO for shipment. The movements of the precious metals during the past week have been on an extensive scale. The imports, owing to large arrivals from the 'West Indies, and Pacific, Australian, and several other Ports, have been to the extent of £1,117,069, while the imports have amounted to £445,321, a large proportion of which has been in silver. Owing to the recent advance in the price of copper, shares in the English mining market have closed at a substantial advance. A company has been formed for the establish ment of a " Bank of Turkey." The only joint stock bank now in operation is making large profits, and is at this moment considering whether its new issue of shares shall be offered at a premium. The Bank of Turkey asks for a capital of a million sterling, only half of which is at present proposed to be raised in 10,000 £5O shares. The Board is highly respectable, and the directors are well-known for their knowledge of banking details and of Ottoman finance. The operations of the Bank of Turkey will be strictly confined to banking, to the exclusion of anything connected with the ordinary business of a merchant. It will assist commerce, . but will carefully avoid any interference with or competition in trade. The undertaking has met With a very satisfactory reception. At the Paris Bourse, yesterday, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 68 35. The Funds are per cent. higher, and all the markets have closed buoyantly ; Consols this after noon are 891 j for transfer, and 87 5-16ths 88 1-16ths, the latter being minus the dividend.

IS THERE NO MEDIUM COURSE ?—Alluding to the prospects of Reform, the Law Times of to-day remarks : —" The Star, in leaded type, makes the significant an nouncement that Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone have resolved to introduce a Reform Bill, on a democratic basis, immediately on the meeting of Parliament, at which Mr. Bright's organ is, of course, very jubilant. It remains to be seen whether the country will consent to the transfer of all political power from property and intelligence to numbers." Commodore Dunlop, Superintendent of Wool wich Dockyard, went up to Deptford-in the steam tug Bustler, and inspected the arrangements for launching her Majesty's 22 gun steam frigate Endy inion, 2,478 tons, which will be cast off her build ing slip to-day at high tide about 12 o'clock. After the launch the Endymion will be brought down to Woolwich under orders to be towed to Sheerness to be completed for sea. The whole of her machinery of 500-horse power, by Messrs. Maudslay and Sons, the boilers, and interior fittings have been trans mitted from Woolwich to Sheerness for that pur pose. The iron steam store ship Supply, Staff-Com mander Charles Bowden, on particular service, having completed her specific term—viz., four years, was yesterday paid out of commission at Woolwich. The officers and crew were granted 24 hours' leave of absence. The ship will be again put in commis sion to-day, when the entire complement of officers and men, with the exception of the assistant-engi neer and four men and boys, will'rejoin Commander Bowden and enter on the new commission. The sailing frigate Terpsichore, 18, the vessel de stroyed on the late occasion of the trial of Mr. Beardslee's torpedoes, at Chatham, and since sta tioned in dock, is ordered to undergo a temporary repair in order to allow of her being removedround to the Thames, to the yard of Messrs. ;Castle and Beech, at Charlton, the contractors to the Admi ralty for breaking up old and useless vessels of war. The order received at Chatham directs her to be broken up. The Frolic, 18, another of the old class of sailing ships attached to the reserve in Chatham harbour, will be towed round to Messrs. Castle and Beech's yard to-day, for the purpose of being broken up. Vice-Admiral Sir Horatio Thos.

Viscount de Praia has been charged ad interim with the vacant post. The Duke de Saldanha has published a pamphlet against civil marriage. American Claims on England, 'lit. - A war with Great Britain, in consequence of the official refusal of that nation through Lord Russell to re pair the injurjes done our commerce by the Alabama, is not beyond the bounds of possibility. A city journal, sup posed to bo inspired by secret information derived from the Department of State, has within the last few days ad mitted as much. A war with that country, while it would prove perfectly ruinous to its commercial interests, and very probably induce its bankruptcy, would also be very undesirable and disadvantageous to us , considering the heavy war debt which already presses upon our industry v and resources. In this condition of things it may be well worth con- H sidering what other steps may be taken which would be as effectual, give us immediate indemnity and throw the responsibility of a war upon the aggressors themselves—a moral disadvantage to them, which would inevitably lead to their humiliation when superadded to other and material causes. One of these steps or measures is the resort to the law of retortion or reprisals, known and practised as long ago as the time of the Romans, and still recognised every where. The principle is this :—" If a nation refuses to repair or give satisfaction for an injury, the injured party may seize things belonging to the wrong-doer and apply them to his own use, until he is paid the amount that is due, with damages ; or he may detain as a security until full satisfaction is given." This is a well-established right, and to put it in force letters of reprisal may be granted to those persons who have suffered the injury. Grotius, Vattell and Azani fully treat of this right and acknowledge its existence. It is, then, our obvious and convenient policy to resort to this measure without the necessity of firing a gun. There is British property enough in this port and city to cover all our losses by the Alabama liable to immediate seizure under this law, and the reprisal would be in effect " sharp, short, and decisive." This indemnity in hand would go a great way to pre pare us for an encounter if it should come ; but we are inclined to the opinion that the people of Great Britain would much prefer to come fairly to terms than lose their best customers, and the merchants and bankers would rather continue to draw their millions of gold from us week after week than run the risk of deprivation and insolvency. And although the immediate effect of non intercourse upon ourselves would be the suspension of our traffic with England, it would give an immense start to that between us and all other foreign nations, so that our customs revenue would be but little affected. But if it were we should stop at once sending gold abroad, and it would accumulate here rapidly, and become so much cheaper as to make it more available than ever for the pay ment of interest on our national securities. In either case the result would be about the same. It would be, in fact, much cheaper for up buy a few millions of gold from our own mines, in case it became necessary, than to incur another immense war debt, when we have at hand an easy remedy, recognised by all nations well known to the British Ministry and extremely applic able to this very case.—New York Herald. If Lord Russell had indicated a willingness to refer to a commission all the questions in dispute, his pro posal would have deserved careful consideration. But this is not the case. He refuses distinctly to submit to such a tribunal the only points of difference to which the least importance can be attached. We hold the British Government responsible for the losses inflicted on Ameri can commerce by privateers built by British subjects in British ports, equipped by British capital and protected by British recognition of a flag unknown to the nations of the world. We insist that in thus acting she was our enemy in spite of solemn treaty engagements to be our friend. We assert that in so acting she violated the plainest principles of international law and morals, and inflicted upon us, in contempt of our rights, the most serious injuries that one nation can sustain at the hands of another. She did it not in haste, but with deliberate premeditation. Sho did it in spite of remonstrances, of arguments, and of warnings, repeated over and over again, and pressed upon her attention at every successive stage of the whole transaction. She did it openly, defiantly, in studied and ostentatious contempt alike of our wrongs and of our remonstrances. We should earn the scorn of the civilised world, and should deserve, what we should unquestionably receive, the contempt of England, if we were to submit to these outrages and insults without redress.—New York Times. It may be assumed as certain that there are at pre sent no prospect of the two Governments coming to an agree ment on these two points ; and the momentous question at once arises what consequences will the failure to agree have upon the future relations of the two countries ? Mr. Adams, as early as 1863, suggested the submission of the whole question to arbitration ; but this England declines, on the ground that the English Government is the solo guardian of its own honour. The whole controversy, there fore, centres in the question—Aro neutrals to be the sole judges of what is due to a belligerent, and is the belligerent to have no right to reparation for wrongs inflicted ? Mr. Adams points out with great force that if England were in volved in a war with a power which could fully avail itself of the principles professed by her during our, late war, she would very soon find that among all the nations of the earth not one could suffer more severely from the adoption of her principles than she herself. As England had just at present no foreign war on her hands, she prefers to bo altogether regardless of the future, and only intent upon escaping punishment for past misdemeanour. The future history of the controversy will be of the utmost impor tance, not only to the interests of the United Stetes and England, but to the peace of the whole world. Should England be ever involved in a serious foreign war, before her difficulty with the United States is settled, it would probably not require much time to cause her to disown her present principles. —New York Weekly Tribune, LAW INT .This Day, COURT OF DIVORCE. THORNLEY T. THORNLEY. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) This was a suit instituted by the wife for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery and desertion. From the evidence it appeared that the respondent had been a merchant at St. Petersburg, and married the peti tioner, who was a native of Hambro, at Bristol, in 1856. After the marriage the petitioner was introduced into the respondent's family until he left with his wife for St. Petersburg, at which place he proposed to reside. They, however, returned to this country for the pur pose of visiting the Exhibition, aft er w hi c h it was deenied advisable that the wife should take up her residence in Italy. The respondent regularly transmitted remittances about the beginning of 1863, when they suddenly ceased, and it was afterwards discovered that the respondent had formed an improper intimacy with a young girl in St. Petersburg. The petitioner had re ceived a letter from the respondent, expressing contrition for his desertion, and requested her to abandon a name which he had disgraced. A number of witnesses having been examined, who proved the allegations of the petitioner, His Lordship pronounced a decree nisi. HUTCHINSON V. HUTCHINSON AND BARKER. This was a suit instituted by the husband for dissolution of marriage, on the ground of adultery with the respon dent, a twine spinner at Hull. From the evidence it appeared that the petitioner was a seafaring man, and by great exertion he had raised himself to the position of a master in the mercantile marine. In 1858 he discovered that his wife was carrying on an adul terous intercourse with the respondent, and afterwards the present proceedings were instituted. In explanation of the length of time that had elapsed between the separation and the application to the Court, the petitioner said the duration of his voyages, ho being engaged in the India and China trade, prevented him. His Lordship pronounced a decree nisi. JARVIS V. JARVIS AND FULL. This was a suit instituted by the husband against the wife. The petitioner was in the Royal Marines, and during his absence from England with his regiment in the West Indies the circumstances occurred which led to the present proceedings. His lordship pronounced a decree nisi, with costs. ADAMS V. ADAMS. This was a suit instituted by the wife against the hus band, on the grounds of desertion, coupled with adultery and bigamy. The parties wore married in 1855, and afterwards re sided at Chichester, and resided there and at Brighton until 1860. The respondent, who was a hairdresser and perfumer, became acquainted with betting men, and after having lost all his money he sold up his business, and giving his wife £5, went off, and told her she would never hear of him any more. He however returned for a short time, but left again. After this it was discovered that he had married a young lady named Emma Louisa Wilden, . . at St. Luke's, King's-cross, on the 14th of September, 1862. On the discovery of the second marriage the re spondent was taken into custody, and afterwards tried for bigamy, at Lewes, on the 20th of July, 1864, convicted of the felony, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The respondent was served with the citation while he was undergoing his sentence. The case was adjourned in order that evidence might be produced to show that the respondent was the person who resided with Miss Wilden as her husband, in Leigh-street, Burton -crescent. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MABLBOROUGH-STREET. A DESERTED CHILD.—THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS ACT.— Mr. Lumley, the clerk of the Newport Market Refuge, at tended before Mr. Yardley with a little girl, about 10 years of age, with the view of getting her into some industrial school. Mr. Lumley said the child had been about the streets begging, and had been under the care of the Refuge for about a month, but he was anxious that she should be sent to some permanent place, the Refuge being only a nightly one. If he took her to the workhouse, she would be ad mitted to the casual ward and turned out in the Inoming. Mr. Yardley said he did not think any parish would do such a thing under the circumstances. Mr. Lumley said he knew a case where a little boy was admitted to the casual ward of a workhouse, and turned out three consecutive mornings. Mr. Yardley said there were certain persons called Guardians of the Poor, and if what the applicant stated was the case, it was a strange way of showing their guar dianship. In answer to Mr. Yardley, the child said her mother was dead, and her father had gone away. She had begged in the streets for five months, and had slept under the porch of St. Martin's porch. Another girl took her to the refuge. Mr. Yardley having referred to the Act, which gives a magistrate power to send children apparently under 14 who may be brought before him, being found in the streets re ceiving alms or there for tho purpose, or who may be found wandering about without any home, to an industrial school for such period as he may think fit for their educa tion and training, said he considered the child came within the meaning of the Act, and made an order for her ad mission to the Industrial School, Sloane-street, for five years. THAMES. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. —John Murray, a young man of strongly marked and intellectual features, was charged be fore Mr. Partridge with threatening and abusing a young woman named Jane Allen. The prisoner had been making a temporary stay with the complainant, and when he visited her last night she found he had got no money, and bade him leave her. He then abused her, and threatened her, and made so much disturbance that the police interfered and took him into custody. He made two attempts to commit suicide in the police cell. He was heard making a gurgling noise. On opening the door he was on the floor, his face livid, and a stocking round his neck, with three knots in it. He was nearly strangled. The police. revived him, and locked him up again. He made a second attempt with another stocking, .and the police had to cut the stocking from his neck. There were two knots in it. The prisoner said he would not go near the abode of the complainant again, and hoped the magistrate would releaso him, as he was going to sea almost immediately. He was ordered to find bail to keep the peace. On the charges of attempted suicide being proved he was asked why he had acted in such an extraordinary manner, he said that ho intended to strangle himself ; and it pained him to think he had acted so strangely in Lon don. Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner for a week, and hoped he would be in a better state of mind w hen ho had reflected on the rash and wicked acts he had committed. New Fenian Projects. The Fenian Senate, composed of some fifteen persons, says the New York Herald, has, wo under stand, been in secret session in this city for the past few days, cogitating on some initiatory pro ject in the new revolutionary movements in the British Empire—probably to be the seizure of a portion of the British American colonies in Canada or Nova Scotia, thence to inaugurate on a substantial basis the in surrection, which is not to be merely an Irish affair, but a British republican revolution, extending throughout the entire empire until an English republic is established. When the Fenians have established themselves in ono of the British provinces they can fit out some Irish Alabama or Shenandoah, or say a dozen or two of them, and com mence operations against British commerce on the high seas. In these matters, of course, our Government is strictly neutral. It has nothing to say upon the question, and will undoubtedly preserve that rigid system of neu trality which the Government of England observed during our four years' war. Indeed, we might reply to the British Government, in the words of Lord Russell, that these British republicans are seeking for their independence, while the British Government is seeking for empire. We believe that there has been a large accession of United States officers of high rank and much experience in the late war to the ranks of the Fenians—men who will, no doubt, bring wisdom, caution, and discipline to the move ment, which, in the hands of blatant orators and selfish, inexperienced agitators might have proved a fizzle. How ever, whatever new projects the Fenian. revolutionists may have in view in British Amorica or elsewher e , our Government w ill not trou b le i tself about them. We presume that the precedent set by England during our rebellion will be a sufficient guide for the actions of the Fenians. MARRIAGE OF THE EARL OF DUDLEY.— The mar riage of the Earl of Dudley to Miss Moucrieffe takes place in London on Tuesday next. The event will be celebrated in Worcestershire by rejoicings on an extensive scale. There will be a general meeting of his lordship's tenantry at Witley, the seat of the Earl, where the auspicious event will be celebrated in a fitting manner. At Dudley, where his lordship Possesses vast mineral property, and at Kid derminster, there will be public dinners and a ball, and at Worcester the corporation have voted an address of con gratulation, which is to be presented on the occasion of his lordship's return from his wedding tour, about the 6th of December. A REMARKABLE "FALL" OF TIMBER. —On the sth inst. a lofty elm tree, of extraordinary dimen sions, growing in the park called Crix, Hatfield Peverel, suddenly fell to the ground from its "high estate," its roots having been gradually undermined by the water in a ditch close by. It covers a space of 17/ rods of ground with top and body, and contains 692 feet of measured timber, the first length, which is very handsome, being 24 feet long, with a girthing of 40 inches. The park is in the occupation of Mr. B. Heathley, the owner being the Rev. C. Townsend. The tree was known as the Raven-tree, it having been the resort of that ill-omened bird for a century or more—Chelmsford Chronicle. Railway Traffic Returns for the Week, -4- Mlles Opened. Receipts.
