210 lay MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLooK. The accounts from the manufacturing districts ar e still of a very unsatisfactory character, and the intervention of the Easter holidays has caused a further depression in the home trade. Business at 'Vla nchester has been exceedingly dull, and but little change has been produced by the reduction in the rate of discount. The woollen trade in the .West Riding of Yorkshire has continued exceed ingly dull, and at Leicester and Nottingham little Or no improvement can be reported in the hosiery and lace trades. In the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolver lampten, the stagnation noticed during the last ' I "W weeks has been by no means diminished. The meetings of the ironmasters will commence at Bir mingham on Wednesday next. A large amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, and i P t ie.e tended up war d s . The sales were fully 20,000 Dales. The Money Market remains in a very quiescent state, with a tendency towards increasing ease, con "'Met upon the extreme supplies, and the mode ;ate charact er o f th e enqu i r i es . The paym e nt of th e April dividends is now producing some effect, 4 nd it is generally expected that lower rates will 14 ° 1 113r prevail. A further sum of about 80,000 was sent into t he Bank of England on Saturday. The Oneida has arrived from the Brazils with 44 ,746 in specie. An instalment of 30 per cent., amounting to 49 00,000, is d ue t o - morrow o n the last Indian 1, "'citn, but the greater portion has been paid in an ticipation. To-morrow a call of £2 per share, amounting to £ 6 0,000, is due on the South Yorkshire Railway 4 0 shares. There has been a heavy market for Public a. oleurities to-day owing to the unsettled appear !lee of the continental politics, which have led to I ,', continuance of speculative sales. Consols are t herefore depressed, at 911 4 for money and the 19th instant, and at 914 for the 9 th May. The N ew Threes and the Reduced have receded to 89/ °O, and Bank Stock to 227 ex div. ; India 5 per _Cents. L oan is 1001- 1, ditto New Scrip 1001 ; and .: zoliequer Bills are 3s. die.

The demand for wheat in most of the local markets held on Saturday was inactive, and, in some instances, prices were somewhat easier. Fine barley realised extreme ratas; but other kinds were a dull inquiry. Oats, beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly. The continental markets have been firm for wheat, on higher terms. Advises from New York state that ship ments of bread-stuffs to England still continued. The arrivals of English produce up to our market, last week, we e limited; but those from abroad were liberal— viz., 35,282 quarters of wheat, 13,320 barley, 86,487 oats' 658 beans, 2,032 peas, 2,293 tares, 10,103 linseed, 7,272 rapeseed, 75 Indian corn, 399 sundry, 8,657 sacks and 700 barrels of flour. The fresh arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market were on a very moderate scale, but we observed a slight improvement in the condition of most samples. Buyers, however, exercised great caution in making pur chases, and most offers were at a reduction of ld to 2d per qr. on the rates current on this day so'nnight, to which holders being disinclined to submit, sales progressed heavily at a decline of about ld per qr. he show of foreign wheat was large, and the demand for all descriptions was in a very inactive state, with a down ward tendency in prices. Floßting cargoes of grain were neglected, and the quota tions were with difficulty supported. The barley trade is still devoid of animation. Fine malting qualities realised previous rates ; but all other kinds were is per quarter cheaper. The transactions in malt were of a limited character ; nevertheless, no change took place in its value. Owing to the large arrival, all kinds of oats were in slow request, and prices gave way is per quarter, compared with Monday last. Beans moved off steadily, at full quotations. Although the demand for peas was by no means active, prices were fairly supported. In the inquiry for flour, there was no activity. Prices, however, have not materially altered from last week.

Notwithstanding that the ar rivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing districts, were considerably on the increase, when compared with Monday last, all breeds moped off steadily, and, in some instances, prices were the turn dearer —the general top figure for beef being ss. per 81bs. The quality of the stock was good. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire, we received 2,000 Scots, crosses, &c.; from other parts of England, 600 'various breeds ; from Scotland, 325 Scots and crosses. On the whole, we were fairly supplied with sheep, the condition of which was by no means first rate. The mutton trade was steady, at prices fully equal to Monday last. The best old Downs, in the wool, sold at 6s. per 81bs. Prime lambs sold readily, at from 78. Bd. to Bs. per 81bs. The arrivals from the Isle of Wight amounted to 125 head. Calves were in short supply, sad good i equest, at extreme currencies. We have to report a fair time• of-year inquiry for pigs, at full quotation's.

The Metropolitan Stakes remain without change - . The only animal supported was Danae, and all the 4's to 1 that could be got were taken freely. For the City and Suburban Handicap Physician, First Lord, Thunderbolt, and Gab rielle d'Estrees were very fairly supported at their respec tive prices. East Sheen seemed a little on the wane, for although 100 to 7 was booked, 100 to 6 was afterwards offered. Pancake commenced the downward process, and was stopped at 25 to 1 (taken), but 20 to 1 was offered with out response. Lady Clare was much inquired after, but we saw nothing less than 25 to 1 booked about her. Meta dor was freely backed at 7 to 1 for the Two Thousand Guineas, and 25 to 1 was taken about him for the Derby. For this latter event Robin Hood, who for a day or two past, and early to day, had always money at 30 to 1, declined towards the close to 40 to 1 (taken and offered). For the Chester Cup, Killigrew was firm at 20 to 1 (taken), and there was an attempt made to back Schism, but the price asked, 40 to 1, was more than any one seemed disposed to lay.

The April sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, the Recorder, and the other civic authorities. Owing to the long time that has elapsed since the last sittings of the Court, the calendar of prisoners for trial is exceedingly heavy, there being no less than 136 prisoners on the list for trial. Four charges were for assault and robbery, one fraudulent bankruptcy, two bigamy, eight burglary, twenty-six for uttering counterfeit coin, embezzlement twelve, felony one, forgery five, larceny twenty-six, larceny from the person one, larceny as a servant seventeen, manslaughter two, misdemeanour eight, murder two, rape two. Of these cases forty-eight were from London, 47 from Middlesex, 6 from Essex, 15 from Kent, and 19 from Surrey. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said the num ber of prisoners for trial was much larger than usual, but that, no doubt, was occasioned by the length of time since the court last sat for the trial of prisoners. The first charge he would refer to was that against Wm. Frederick Knighton, who was indicted fer the wilful murder of Vic toria Pugh, who was pushed one morning into the Surrey Canal. The evidence was to the effect that the voice of a female was heard crying out " Oh, don't 1" and after wards a splash was heard. This left little doubt that the death of the unfortunate woman was caused by violence. The prisoner was connected with the matter by his having been seen quarrelling with the woman at half-past one o'clock in the morning. It was for*them to say whether there was sufficient evidence to justify a true bill being returned against the accused. The other charge of wilful murder was against Ann Reid. She was charged with the wilful murder of her child. She went to her lodgings, and being taken ill, something was reqttired from her box. She said she had lost the key, when the chest was broken open, and the body of the child was discovered with its throat cut from ear to ear. The whole of the evidence would be laid before them, and in this case also they would have to say whether or not the pri soner ought to be put upon her trial for the capital offence. The next charge was of a somewhat singular nature ; it was that against Sarah Terry, who was indicts)] for two offences; the first was that of aiding and;abetting in the committing murder, and the other was that of attempting to murder herself. The prisoner went to a coffee-shop in Bishopsgate-street with her brother, who was a soldier, and then poison was taken by both ; the brother died, but the prisoner recovered. She said her brother took the poison, and if this was the case it was very questionable whether she was amenable to one of the charges made against her of aiding in the commission of murder. There was a cha , ge of man slaughter against a prisoner named George Chapman. He was driving a cart at about 12 miles an hour, and whilst in a state of intoxication he drove his horse up a street in which there was no thoroughfare, and in so doing the death of a man was caused. There was also a case of a nature that had been rather numerous of late, viz., fraudulent bankruptcy. It was an indict ment against Eustace Parry, who was indicted for not surrendering to the fiat in bankruptcy. There was also two charges of rape in the calendar, and he was anxious that they should pay particular attention to these cases, be cause there were no chances of a conviction, public injury was inflicted by the trials taking place in,open court. Of course it was very difficult in cases of this nature to procure evidence, but it was always of great importance to notice the conduct of persons who made such a charge. In the first case it appeared that the female, immediately after the offence had been committed, mentioned it to some of her relatives, and the prisoner was given into custody. In the other case the offence was alleged to have been com mitted on a child under 10 years of age, and the assent or non-assent of a child of such tender years was of no avail, as undoubtedly under any circumstances, if the offence had been committed, it was a very serious crime. He did not think he need call their attention to any of the other eases, but if any difficulty arose assistance would most readily be granted them. CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES. Vere Dawson Hunt, a gentlemanly-dressed man, for merly a captain in the army, was indicted for obtaining from Mr. Hackblock the earn of £25, and also the sum of £6, by false and fraudulent p re t ences . _ _ _ _ Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Poland prosecuted, and Mr. Ser geant Ballantine and Mr. Ribton defended. The evidence was to the effect that in January last the defendant, who is a horse broker, arranged with the prose cutor for the sale of a pair of carriage horses, for which he asked and obtained £ 35, and £6 as commission. He re presented that the horses belonged to a gentleman who asked £l5O for them, but he had brought him down to take £135 for them. The horses were war ranted, but one of them turned out restive, and quite unsuited for the purpose it was intended. He wished the horse to be taken back, and he then discovered that the owner of the horses only got £llO for them, and that the defendant had kept £25 for himself. It was, therefore, con tended if the horses were the defendant's own property he had defrauded Mr. Hackblock out of £6 for commission, and if on the other hand he sold only as a broker, he had defrauded him of £25. . Evidence having been adduced to prove the charge, The Recorder said it di3 not appear to him that there was any case to go to the jury to prove the false pretences. The presecutor must prove a false statement to an existing fact here. Mr. Hackblock said he was induced to pay the £135, by the prisoner saying that "he was going to pay £135, that was a future, not an existing, fact. After some discussion, The Recorder said that the prosecution had not proved their case, and the defendant must be discharged. There was another indictment against the defendant, but it was not proceeded with. POLICE INTALLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FRAUD ON A BANK.—James Miell, a man about 50, residing at 4, East Surrey Grove, Commercial-road, Peck ham, a traveller, was charged with entering an amount of 10s. falsely in a deposit book and presenting it at the Provident Institution Savings' Bank, St. Martin's-place, with intent to defraud the trustees. Mr. George Rowley Barker, one of the clerks at the bank, said : The prisoner's son, James Miell, has an account at the bank, and the deposit book produced repre sents the amounts he has paid in. The prisoner paid in 7s. on Saturday, and on comparing the deposit book with the ledger, I found the latter was 10s. short of what the de posit book stated, and on examining the deposit book I found the figure " 1" had been inserted before the figure 4 ( 8" (thus making it appear 18s. instead of Bs.) one of the amounts in the shillings' column. I then pointed it out to the secretary. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that the cashier must be present, and with that view remanded the prisoner, who seemed quite overcome with emotion, for a week, at the same time, on the prisoner's application, offering to take two sureties in £lO each for his reappearance. TIME-GUN AT EDINBURGH CASTLE.—It is ex pected that before the close of the present month the audible time signal at Edinburgh, Castle will be brought into daily operation. The time-gun is established in connection with the time-ball on the Calton-hill, which was set up some years ago as a time signal for the benefit of the city of Edinburgh and also for the port of Leith. It was found, however, that frequently the signal was invisible through fog or haze, and Mr. Ilewat, a merchantinEdinburgh, some time ago suggested that the signal, which is worked from the Observatory on the Calton-hill, should be connected by means of an electric wire, with a gun on the Castle bat tery, which should be discharged simultaneously with the fall of the time-ball. The suggestion is now being carried into execution. A gun has been granted by Government for the purpose, but otherwise the expense of putting up and maintaining the signal has been undertaken by the citizens, and a subscription has been commenced in order to constitute a fund for the purpose. The apparatus is in course of construction by Messrs. Ritchie, Edinburgh, and one part of it is to consist of a single strand of electric wire suspended from the Calton-hill to the Castle in one stretch of 1,400 yards, and which, being elevated about 100 to 120 feet above the level of Princes -street, will be quite invisible to the eye. The Directory map of Edinburgh and Leith about to be published for 1861-2 will be marked with a series of circles showing the exact time that will elapse be tween the discharge and the sound of the gun reaching any point upon the map. The institution of this ordnance signal in connection with the time-ball at the Calton-hill Obser vatory is looked forward to with great interest, and should the experiment prove successful it will probably lead to its adoption elsewhere. NAVAL FASHIONS.—SteeI corsets are beginning to be worn by frigates, but do not, in the last novelty, come up to bows in front or descend quite to the other extremity. The sides are pierced with holes for the arms, forming a , stylish open work. Canvas is less employed than formerly, which, during the prevalence of March winds, is not to be J regretted,—,Pumht 101 i 4 130 1051 61 74 701 1 111 1O 61 1191 95}#}} 932 4 1241 4 4 31 P 97i 441 i FOREIGN RAILWAYS. ,Algerian Antwerp & Rotterdam.

The remarks of "A Freshman" on the City and Suburban and Metropolitan Handicaps will appear in Tha Su n °' Wednesday. His p resent opinion is, that Merrimac' "n sician, or the Gir a ff e fill y should furnish the vri ul ' er °- i . the City and Suburban. The Porseve;anza of Milan announces that Gen. de La Marmora returned to that city on the 3d, and resumed the command of the 2d corps d'armse. The effective strength of this corps is to be carried up to 60,000 men—a condition which the Gene' al made on withdrawing hie re signation. He, moreover, demanded that an intrenched camp should be established on the side of the Mincio, and that La Rocca di Brescia should be fortified. THIRD► EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock.

THE KOSSUTH NOTE. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Home Secretary the question of which he had given notice previous to the recess, relative to the Koseuth note. He wished to I)* informed what was the number as well as the letter of the policeman who, as the right hon. gentleman the Home Secretary stated, had delivered one of those notes to Sir Richard Mayne. He wished also to be informed whether the policeman in question was still in the metro politan police force ' and it not, when he left it. Sir G. C. LEWIS repeated the statement he had pm vioualy made, to the effect that neither Sir Richard Mayne nor himself had given any directions relative to obtaining any information on the subject of those notes previoua to the one in question being given to Sir Richard Mayne. He did not think that, under the circumstances of the case, it was proper for him to give the information required by his hon. friend the member for Finsbury. He would, however, state that no steps had been taken for the removal of the policeman referred to from the metropolitan force. THE DOCKYARDS. Sir F. SMITH gave notice that next week he would call the attention of the house to the report of the committee appointed to inquire into the state of the Government dock yards. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL. After a few words from Mr. VANCE, This bill was read a third time and passed amid the cheers of the house. POST-OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Mr. S. ESTCOURT, on a the reading of the Ist clause, asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer for some informa tion on the details of the bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it would be an objectionable course to adopt for the house to discuss the principle of the bill at present, when it had already been amply discussed and affirmed. Generally speaking, however, the plan proposed by this bill was, that the local postmasters were entitled to receive deposits, which they were bound to transmit to the Postmaster-General in London, and this operation would be transacted without the introduction of any new principle in the savings bank system. The depositor would take his security from the postmaster in charge of the local office where he lodged his money ; and in order to give him every security, the Postmaster-General would adopt the saw course in reference to such transactions as he did with regard to other business between him and local postmasters, and increase the amount of secu rity required from the latter should the deposits be augmented to an extent that would render such neces sary for the safety of the depositor. The Post-office system with regard to the transmission of money worked so well that it would scarcely be believed how trifling Ives the lose incurred since its adoption. He would mention that the loss on £33,000,00 of money transmitted frost one part of the country to the other by the medium of the post-office order system was only £6,000. He considered that the bill would not neutralise the principle of the savings banks system, by allowing persons to deposit larger amounts in the banks than was permitted by the existing law, by the increased facilities for deposits which it afforded. There was provision quite adequate to prevent the law being infringed in this particular. With regardthan objection brought against the measure, viz., that it brought Government into rivalry with private enterprise, he con tended that it was entirely unfounded. In support of his assertion he would state that the Government would ask the House to limit the interest they were to miceive to £2 10s. per cent., so that they would offer no attre.ction to de positors to invest their money with them by the amount of interest they proposed to give. The clause was ultimately agreed to. On clause 2, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, stated that he had made some amendments to this clause, which would give additional security to the depositors against any defalcation on the part of the local postmasters and render the bill more effectual. Mr. AYRTON opposed the scheme proposed b . P. G ov ernment, which he contended would fail ir, real. the th e expectations held forth by the Chancellor V_ the Exchequer to the house and to the country; schemes, first place, he believed, from the experience ,ox 7 ehe zi nes ; that this plan, like other Government when it would not be found self-sup came into operation, b u t that self-support odd be found it :stead of the into most expensive. He believed also that _ Chancellor of ;the Ex rest being limited as stated by the Ch r cent.

The result would be that the country would be caned on to pay depositors the high est interest, and would be sv Adled with the expense of this institution.
