CITY, Two O'CLOCK. On 'Change to-day Consols were firm, and there was more business than usual in the Foreign Mar ket. But Spanish was on the decline, but for Turkish there was a trifling improvement in price. There was a better demand for Railways, on ac- ount of the cheering traffic returns, but for Tele graph shares the movement was downward.

There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. The transactions of the week since the last return have consisted of an influx of £7,000. The Excelsior has arrived from New Zealand with £31,500 in gold ; and the Donau, from New York, with £38,000 in Mexican dollars. Of the £391,500 in Australian gold which reached Point de Galle on the 20th ult., by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Gee -I°4'7 £352,000 is due at Southamr ton on the 26th instant, by the Massilia.

The minimum price was fixed, as before, at ls. 111, and tenders at ls. 111 d. will r,eceive about 63 per cent. These results show a f urther slight diminution in the demand for means of remittance to the East. According to advices from Guatemala, the revo lution continues worse than ever in that Republic, 48 the Indians are now taking part in it, and these are the most numerous and grossly ignorant.

Lawrence was vested in the trustee, for whom Mr. Reed appeared. On the 6th Jan. the debtor was adjudicated, and on the 16th Feb. Mr. Stevens was appointed trustee. On the 4th December the debtor had executed a bill of sale, comprising the whole of his estate, to Messrs. Jonas and Co., as recurity for two advances amounting to £250. The trustee took possession of the effects ; but Messrs. Jonas declined to with draw, and the trustee now applied to the court to decide the question as to priority of claim in favour of the trustee. His lordship said there was no necessity for an order. The stock in trade, furni ture, &c., was the property of the trustee, and all he had to do was to realise it. If Messrs. Jonas felt themselves aggrieved, they would have a right to come to the court and make their complaint. CEA' 2 RAL CRIMINAL COUR7.—This Day. ATTEMPTING TO MURDER A SWEETHEART.

The trial of Jacob Spinas, 28, porter, was resumed this morning at the Central Criminal Court Serjeant Sleigh addressed the jury for the defence, a❑d submitted that the prisoner was not guilty of murder, but that the act be committed only amounted to the levier offence of manslaughter. lle should not endeavour to argue that the womata did not lose her life by violence inflicted by the prisoner. He then commented upon the facts of the case, and said that there could be no doubt that the woman was admitted to the hotel either by the prisoner or by some other means. They were both the worse fc:r liquor ; and the evidence went to show that after this several bottles of wine were consumed by them, and it was only reasonable to imagine that during the night they were both in a beastly state of intoxication, and he argued that while in this condition nothing was more probable than that a quarrel should take place between them, and that the act was committed while the prisoner was in violent excitement, and if the jury should think that this was the case, they would be justified in finding the prisoner guilty of the lesser offence of man§lauglater only.

Sergeant Day, 2 C R, said that shortly before eleven o'clock he was outside St. James's Hall, in Piccadilly, directing the movements of the cabmen, and having told one to go away, the defendant came up and said he had no right to do so, and abused him, calling him a perjured villain, a scoundrel, and a scamp, and saying that he would not go ; and the consequence was that a large crowd assembled. He tried to persuade the defendant to go away two or three times, but he would not, and at last he became so disorderly, shaking his fist in his face, that he was compelled to take him to the station. Wm. Fish, 42 CR, proved hearing the defendant say " He would not go away for a scoundrel like the serjeant." The defendant said be had c tiled a cab and that the sergeant had turned it away. The defendant said he went to an Oratorio at St. James's Hall with a friend and his friend's wife—the latter not being very well. He had told the c ibman who took them there that if he came at 11 o'clock he should be glad to engage him, but he did not actually do so. He came out of the Hall about 11 o'clock, and seeing a cab went to the man and asked him if he was the man whom be had told might c dl for him, and while speaking to the man the sergeant came up and said the man was a loiterer and told the man to go away. lie was ex cited and irritated at what the sergeant did, and per liars did speak in a manner he ought not to have done. Mr. Knox said there was not a more troublesome and anxious duty the police had to perform than that of keeping order at places of entertainment. In order to save cabmen the multiplicity of tines which had taken place, and in order to pre vent the men loitering, robbing the ranks and taking the bread out of other's mouths, the police were stationed at these places, and had orders to do just what the sergeant had done. The sergeant, who was well known to him as a steady and truthful man had done nothing more than to simply discharge his duty, and the defendant had abused him. It was to such persons as the defend ant they looked to to keep order, and not cause disorder in the streets. The defendant had ex pressed himself in a very proper manner, and he should, therefore, merely order him to enter into his own recognizance. . ORDINARY SHAKES AND STOCKS. raid.

I'HE IRISH POLITICAL PRISONERS. Mr. STACPOOLE asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether he had seen the opinion, bearing date the 11th of February, 1870, given by Dr. Robert Lyons, of Dublin, member of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland and ?hysician to the Royal College of Maynooth, on the case xnd statement submitted to him as to the alleged treat ment of the Irish political prisoners, in which, among other matters, he stated, " I am of opinion that i )n the case and statement furnished to me, the discipline, food, personal restriction, diet, and other punishments are calculated to inflict permanent injury to the constitutions of the prisoners submitted thereto ; and I am further of opinion that the care and mate of the prisoners herein referred to calls for an offi cial medical inquiry and report ;" and if so, whether the qovernment were prepared to institute an official inquiry as to the treatment of the Irish political prisoners by medical men of eminence totally unconnected with the convict prisons, as suggested by Dr. Lyons, with a view satisfying the public mind of Ireland on the point. Mr. GLADSTONE said he had seen the opinion, and the allegations had been inquired into, but no very satisfac tory result had been arrived at. With respect to the treatment and condition of these prisoners ho found it was not worse, bat in some cases It was actually better. If, however, any formal zomplaint was made, and laid before the Home Secretary, of course it would be fully considered. The diet had been made as varied as possible, and it had had a beneficial effect. When Mrs. O'Donovan Rossa visited her husband, she congratulated her husband on his improved appearance. (Loud laughter.) THE CENSUS. Mr. Rimus asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he had any objection to lay upon the table of the House the returns on which the lleligions Census for 1831 was based, so far as the dis tricts of Mold and Holywell, in the county of Flint, wen) concerned, , ];:ecifying the particular parishes contained in those districts. Mr. riTUGESSEN said he regretted it was not in his power to give the required information. THE HERRING FISHERIES. Mr. RIDLEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether his attention had been called to the fact that during the last season the herring fisheries on the coast of Northumberland, especially in the neighbour hood of Dustanborough Castle, had been seriously injured by the intrusion of French boats into British water : and whether he would undertake that at all events during the six weeks succeeding the Ist of August in each year, the adequate protection to which they were entitled should be afforded to these fisheries, by the presence of a gunboat in communication with the fishermen, and cruising wherever the shoals of herrings presented themselves. Mr. BRUCE said he would take care that proper protect Lion was given during the ensuing season. THE BRIBERY PROSECUTIONS. Colonel STUART KNOX asked what would be the fees of counsel upon each of the several indictments for bribery preferred by the Government in the towns of Norwich, Beverley, and Bridgwater, and from what funds they were provided. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the matter rested with the Treasury, and he had no doubt that what was proper would be given. The fees came out of the same fund from which all Government expenses were paid, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE -THIS DAY ST. ALBAN'S RACES-THIS DAY. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) MAIDEN HURDLE RACE. flungerford.

Mr. HEsny SAMUELSON asked the First Lord of the treasury whether his attention had been called to the in the new statutes for the Public Schools of Shrews bury, Winfhester, Harrow, Charterhouse, and Rugby, re, quiring memb6.l'hip of the Church of England as a condi• dition of eligibility - of members of the governing body. And whether it was h; intention to advise that those PtatutPs, as they now stood, sllould be sanctioned. Mr. GLADSTONE said the staiaite had been laid on the table, but as there was a term of forty days for eon sideration, and as that time had not expired, he must do cline to give an answer to the inquiry. WRITERS AT THE CUSTOMS. Captain GROSVENOR asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether it would not be possible to make arrangements at the Office of Customs enabling writers, by taking extra work at other times, to obtain one fortnight's leave of absence in the course of the year without loss of pay. 13 Mr. STANSFELD said he would consider the matter, to see if it was possible to carry out the arrangement. THE SERPENTINE. Mr. W. EGERTON asked the First Commissioner of Works if he could state when the works on the bed of the Serpentine would be completed, and how long locomo tives would continue to run alongside the public thorough,. fares in the park ; and whether he would take any precau tions against the recurrence of accidents caused by horses taking f right at the engines, especially near the bridge over the Serpentine. Mr. AYRTON said various matters—the bad weather, the frost, and other circumstances had impeded the work. but there would be no unnecessary delay in finishing the ••cork. UNIVERSITY TESTS. Mr. FAWCETT asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether he was now able to fix the day for the introduc tion of the measure promised by the Government for the abolition of Religious Tests in the Universities and Col leges of Oxford and Cambridge. Mr. GLADSTONE said he could not give any information on the subject until he saw how the bills that had already been introduced by the Government progressed. THE TORNADO. Mr. BENTINCK asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, with reference to the case of the Tor nado, why the royal order, dated the 27th of July, 1867, constantly referred to in the Tornado correspondence, and particularly mentioned in the report issued by the Council of State of Spain, dated the 21st of March, 1869, had not been presented to Parliament ; and whether the document had been submitted to the Law Officers of the Crown ; and whether ho would lay a correct translation of the same upon the table without delay. Mr, OTwAY said the document was not in the possession of the Government, and therefore he could not pro duce it. (LEFT SITTING.)
