NONEY MARKET AND CITY ITEM'S. CITY, Two o'CLoCK. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets the dealings during the last few days have been of a rather limited character. Tea has remained dull at pre vious rates. Sugar, however, has been in fair request, and for some descriptions slightly higher s rates have been obtained. Coffee, rice, fruit, and spices have only been in limited request, without material change in prices. At the public sales of indigo there has been no great variation to record in the prices obtained, and the tallow market has been dull for both present and forward delivery. More activity prevailed in the Liverpool cotton market yesterday, and prices tended upwards. The si sales we re 15,000 bales. The supply of commercial bills in the general 8 1,.',, k ,; discount m ar k e t con ti nues very mo d erate, an d th e 25 ' rates show rathe r a d ownwar d t en d ency . stock k A meeting has been held to-day of the proprietors s t r of the City Bank, Sir Robert W.

The directors of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway have determined to propose a divi dend, for the half-year ending the 30th ult., of 21 8 per cent. The Funds have remained without the slightest variation of importance to-day, and very little busi ness has been transacted, either for investment or Ou speculation. Consols are well maintained at 90 90 1. for transfer, and 901 8 fur the 7th proximo. The New Threes and the Reduced remain at 89! I ; the New 21 per Cents. are flat at 75.

(Before the Judge Ordinary.) L.N.XTON V. LAXTON. This was a petition presented by the wife against the hus band, praying for a divorce on the ground of adultery and cruelty. Dr. Spinks, in staling the case for the petitioner, said the respondent was a member of the legal profession, and mar ried the lady in 1854. After the marriage Mr. and Mrs. Laxton resided at Portland-terrace, Regent's-park, bit Mr. 'Axton had also lodgings in Arundel-street, Strand. The marriage was an unfortunate one, for shortly a ff er the lacy was attacked with a loathsome disease, through the instrumen tality of her husband, which occasioned her the greatest unhappiness. The lady recovered, but on other occasions she was attacked by the same disease, and she then disco vered that her husband was in the habit of receiving visits from ladies at his chambers in the Temple, and also at other places, where he rented apartments. The affidavit of the lady entered very fully into the whole circumstances of the case, and, the7efore, he would call witnesses to support the allegations. D:. Pope said he had atmClod Mrs. Lriton during her illness. She laboured under a very loathsome disease. Thomas Eves, formerly a servant in the employ of Mr. Laxton, said—l used to be eraployeil occasionally by the re ipondent to clean plate, furniture, &c. This was st Port • land terrace, Regent's-park. Mr, Laxton had also lodgings in Arundel-street, arand, and Brick-court, Temple. During the time I used to go to the house I recollect they went out of town. I have seen a lady, not Mrs. Laxton, in the house at Portland-terrace. Mr. Laxton ordered me to light a fire in his bedroom. I did so, and they then went upstairs. I 11E4 seen the lady at the house before. I had known her stay the night with him before on two occasions. Henry Mitchell—l formerly acted as clerk to Mr. Lax ton in 1857. I remained withhim about 4 months. I was taken ill and remained away about 3 months, and then went back. At that time Nr. Laxton lived at King's Bench Walk. Mr. Pattie was also a clerk in the same service. Mr. Laxton occupied two rooms, one was a bed room and the other was occupied as an office. Another gentleman occupied a room on the same floor. It was sometimes used as a clerk's room, Mr. Laxton was fre quently visited by ladies. They used to go into his office first. Ho would then have a fire lit in the bedroom, and then they would go there. They used to remain there about two or three hours. The bed always looked very crumpled after they had been in. After I went back the second time the bed-room was occupied as a clerks' room. There was an iron shut up bedstead there. When ladies visited Mr. Laxton while Mr. Pattle or myself were there, we were directed to go into the front office. James Pattie said—ln 1858 I was in the service of Mr. Laxton. I used to occupy the room opposite Mr. Laxton's. I have known him to be visited by different females fre quently, and I have left the room by Mr. Laxton's orders when they came. Mr. Laxton and the females have remained hours in the room, sometimes all night. There was one lady who used to come very frequently—her name was Miss Bucknell. Dr. John Ross—ln the month of October, 1859, I attended at Mr. Laston's chambers in Child's-place. It was to attend a lady in a confinement. The portrait put into my hand is that of the lady. It was not Mrs. Laxton. The Judge Ordinary said the case was fully established. Had the disease been communicated but once it might have y done, and an act of e ll .He should been accidental, but as this had taken place twice after, it if profligacyhad beenhad been wil ommitted fu tdhide appear grosse as st grant the prayer of the petitioner. Dr. Spilka asked that the daughter of Mrs. Layton might remain under the care of the mother. The learned judge assented to the proposal until further orders. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.) IN RE S. VAGG (SAK COLLINS). This was a meeting for choice of assignees, as late of Hyde, Hendon, and now of Gower-place, Bedford-square, . , licensed victualler. This bankrupt was also described as Samuel Collins (tho well-known " Sam Collins " of public life). The bankrupt came up on his own petition, supported by Mr. Angel, King-street, Cheap-We. From the preliminary statement by Mr. Butler, King street, Cheapside, it appears that the debts amount only to about £5OO, and the amount paid into court £l5O. The bankrupt had a large sum of money expended on the " Irish Harp," at Hendon. Assignees were chosen. Mr. Murrough is the solicitor to the estate. IN RE THE MITRE ASSITRXNCE COMPANY. This was a meeting for the last examination in the case of the Mitre Assurance Company, carrying on business in Pall-mall, but no accounts had been filed. Mr. G. Buller, the accountant, is at present unable to submit any satisfactory statement, and in consequent e of the voluminous nature of the accounts it will be some months before they can be filed. Mr. Bayley, for the assignees, applied for an adjourn ment, which was zraufed until the 7th of January next. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) NAItLBOROTJGH- STREET. SANGUINARY AFFRAY FORTUNATE INTERPOSITION OP THE POLlCE.—Cornelius Riley, a tall, stout fellow, and Mary Riley, his * wife, the fast- named of whom was smothered with blood, and had a pair of frightful black eyes, the remains of a previous affray, were charged with a frightful assault on a man named Patrick Roche, in Chapel place, a well-known fighting court. The complainant, who is said to be a quiet man, was en tering his house is the court, when the male prisoner pulled him out, and, with the assistance of two other men, savagely assaulted him, the male prisoner trying his utmost to gouge out Roche's eyes, all the while Mary Riley striking him over the head with a pair of heavy tongs, till the man was so injured and exhausted that he was obliged to tie carried to a doctor's, his head being severely bruised and he covered with blood. A person named Spooner, who saw the nature of the affray, had fetched the police, and there is little doubt that, but for their fortunate interposition, Roche would have lost his life, as one of the witnesses said the prisoners tried to get Roche into their house to " finish him." Constables having corroborated the other witnesses, it was stated that the Rileys had mistaken the prisoner for another man. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the male prisoner £3 or two months, and the female £2 or one month. ZEUS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKET S.

The audience was exceedingly numerous, and the reception Mr. Webster met with, after his long ab sence from the stage, owing to the wonderful career of "The Colleen Bawn," was most enthusiastic. Warmed by the welcome he received, Mr. Webster acted with more than his usual ability, and at the conclusion of the three act—or more properly speaking., the second act of the drama, be and Miss Woolgar received the honour of a call. The enthusiasm with which th 3 drama was received bids fair to insure for it a very long run. MALTA AND. ALEXANDRIA 71FLE- GRAPJJ. Messrs.

The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock, but i was sometime before a house was formed. PRIVATE BUSINESS. . . The Lords' amendments to the Dublin Corporation Bill were considered and agreed to. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Blane Valley Railway ; Caledonian and Symington, Biggar, and Broughton Railway Companies. The Savile Estate and Westminster Life Insurance Society (Dissolution) Bills were read a second time. IRREMOVABLE POOR BILL. The house went into commitsee on this bill, and the de bate on the following amendment of Sir J. Pakington to the 9th clause was resumed i—At the end of the clauSe to add, " Provided also, that extra-parochial places which have heretofore paid no centributions to the common fund of the unions in which they are comprised, shall, notwith • standing anything herein contained, be hereafter exempt from such contributions." He could not avoid comment ing on the change that had taken place in the order of the day. Up to a late hour last night it was understood that the Drainage Bill was to have had precedence of this bill, and that the probability was that 'the latter measure could not be brought forward at the morning sitting of this day. Some of the members had received a communication as late as 4 o'clock in the morning, inform ing them of the change in the order of business. With re gard to the amendment, he could not give ighis support. Mr. VILLIERS entered into an explanation, from which it appeared that the transposition in question originated in a mistake, whieh he had endeavoured to rectify as soon as possible. After some conversation the matter dropped. Mr. KNIGHT then proceeded to contend that the amendment would not effed the benefit proposed by the measure, and therefore he felt bound to oppose it. Sir J. PAKINGTON said that by this clause owners of property which had been exempted from taxation to poor rates would be called on to pay an impost which they never contemplated when they became possessed of their properties Mr. KNIGHT moved the omission of the clause, and the substitution of another. He maintained that the clause to which he objected would effect an alteration in the area of ,rating that was not required, and mould operate most unjustly on a class of proprietors who had not: bean consulted in reference to the change. He considered that the present was a most inopportune time for making any alteration when poor rates were greatly diminishing under the operation of the existing system, which it was pro posed to subvert. (LEFT SITTING.) TILE BISHOP OF ST. DAVID'S AND THE BARON DE BUTZEN. Yesterday a singular ease was heard in the Court of Arches before Dr. Lushington, the Dean, in which the Bishop of St. David's was the plaintiff, and the Baron de Rutzen the defendant. Dr. Twiss and Dr. Spinks appeared for the plain tiff; Dr. Phillimore and Dr. Swabey for the defendant. The. suit was instituted by the bishop against Baron de Rutzen, of Slebech Park, near Narberth, Pembrokeshire, for having in 1844 desecrated the parish church of Minwere, by causing it to be un roofed and portions of the fabric to be taken down and removed, and by applying to profane uses the materials of the fabric and the fittings and ornaments, 'without lawful authority. The baron was a Russian by birth, and his late wife had owned the greater part of Minwere parish. He was charged with having in 1844 ordered his gardener, John Lewis, and others, to unroof and dismantle the church ; and in accord ance with that order it was alleged that the roof had been taken off, the bell removed to another parish, the freestone window frames removed, the floor taken up, and all the pews, ornaments, and fittings stripped from it. It was further alleged that the freestone window frames had been put in a lodge at the entrance of the grounds attached to Slebech Hall, that the tiles taken from the floor had been used to repair flues and hothouses, that the commu nion table at the font had been placed in a h ou se attached to a farm belonging to the baron, and that the font had been used as a trough for pigs. In consequence of these proceedings there had been no public baptisms in the parish for many years, th e incumbent being compelled to baptise in pri vate houses. It was charged against the baron that he had failed to erect a new church, as he had promised to do, and which was more than ever re quired, as part of the church of the adjacent parish of Newton, also belonging to the baron, had been blown down, and the remainder used as a cow house. The answer of the baron to these charges was that his late wife was tenant for life of the Slebech estates, and also of the theme perpetual curacies of Newton, Slebech, .and Minwere, that subsequently to an order in council of 1844, whereby those perpetual curacies were united into one benefice, he had ordered John Lewis, his gardener, to remove a portion of the roof of Minwere Church, the roof being then in a dilapi dated and dangerous state, by reason whereof Divine Service had not been performed in the church for two years previously ; that he had not ordered that the church. should be pulled to pieces or dismantled, or that the fittings and orna ments should be removed ; that subsequently to the union of the three parishes, he and the baroness, with the tacit assent of the inhabitants of Minwere parish, in number about 46, determined that the new Slebech church, which was consecrated by the Bishop of St. David's, in 1848, should for the bene fit and convenience of all concerned be the only church for the inhabitants of the united parishes, and that since the consecration of the new church the parishioners of Minwere had had convenient sittings and accommodation therein. The baron also denied that any of the materials of the old church bad been applied to the profane purposes mentioned with his knowledge or sanction. In delivering judgment Dr. Lushington said it was clear to him that the Baron de Rutzen had re moved the church without lawful authority of any kind, and had thus for many years past deprived the parishioners of the opportunity of public wor ship. He censured the archdeacon on account of his having made no personal visitation of the parish ; and the incumbent for having so long maintained silence, instead of reporting the state of the parish to the bishop. The order of the Court would be, that Baron de Rutzen be ordered, at hi 3 own cost, within six months, to rebuild, restore, and re-in state the parish church of Minwere, with its fit tings and ornaments, and that he be condemned in the costs of the proceedings.

As a matter of course offers against the others were more liberal, and 5 to 1 was offered bar one.—For the Goodwood Stakes, 7 to 1 each was offered against Starke and Schism ; 10 to each was taken about Elcho and Brownie ; and a point less would have been taken against Shipwreck than was taken on Saturday. For the Goodwood Cup, 6to 1 was offered on the field. The Wizard and Ivanhoff were backed at their respective prices, but the most business was done on Thormanby and Doefeot for this event.

ARISTOCRATIC JULY HANDICAP AT HORNSEY-WOOD HOUSE.—The fourth of these events, under the immediate superintendence of that keen and much-respected sports man, Frank Heathcote, Esq., took place according to an nouncement, yesterday, on the enclosed ground attached to Hornsey-wood House, in the presence of about 200 specta- tors, this being the most meagre attendance of the aristo cratic patrons of the " trigger" that has yet taken place on any previous occasion. The arrangements made by Mr. Stone, the proprietor, gave general satisfaction. The conditions of the handicap were as follows :—.CS each, £1 forfeit, for members of White's, Brooks's, Boodle's, Arthur's, Guards', Carlton, Travellers', Arling ton's, Pratt's, and St. James's Clubs, and officers in the army and navy on full pay. Guns of 11 bore, or less lith oz. of shot, No. 5,6, or 7 ; gentlemen to be at liberty to put in any quantity of shot, half a yard being added to their dis tance for every Bth of an oz. of shot. All to load from the same bowls; cartridges for breech-loading guns to be shown the handicapper; no wire cartridges allowed; from five traps ; post entries £6, and no forfeit. As on former occasions the birds, which were of an ad mirable description, were supplied by Mr. Barber, who was appointed to provide for the whole of the competitors. The trap to be fired at had to be decided by the throw of dice, and again this office was undertaken by Frank Heathcote, Esq., whose strict impartiality pointed him out as being the right man in the right place. Out of 66 who had en tered 33 paid the stipulated forfeit, so that there only remained 33 competitors left to contend for the re spective prizes. At the termination of the seventh and last round there were ascertained to be four ties,—Arthur Wigram, Esq., Hon. Frederick Craven, E. a K. Hugessen, Esq., M.P., and Earl Bective, M.P., having succeeded in killing six birds each out of the stipulated numbers. These competi tors had now to shoot off on the usual conditions, viz., bird for bird, and the excitement among the spectators became intense, while the betting, which had all through been spirited, became of a most animating description. In shooting off the ties, Arthur Wigram, after having exhibited such capital practice, was the first to miss, doing so in the first round, so that this gentleman had now .to retire from the contest, having, however, secured the fourth prize, the forfeited money (leas a reduction for ex penses), of £2O. The Hon. Frederick Craven, E. H. K. Hugessen, M.P., and Earl Bective, were the three com petitors left to contend, and they went on killing bird for bird, to the admiration of the spectators, up to the third round, when the Hon. Frederick Craven had the bad for- tune to fail in scoring and retired, having,however, entitled himself to the third prize of £25. E. H. K. Hugessen, Esq., M.P., and Earl Bective were now the competitors, left to contend for the leading prize, and these fine shots went on tying up to the fourth round. At this point E. H. K. Hugessen, Esq., had the misfortune to miss, while his opponent, Earl Bective, dropped his bird in beautiful time, so that his lordship became the winner of the first prize, £lOO, and a handsome gold cup, E. H. S. Hugessen, Esq., taking the second prize £47, Hon. Frederick Craven the third of £25, and Arthur Wigram the fourth of £2O. The score throughout was kept in a most efficient man ner, and thus terminated the last (for we believa this sea son) of these aristocratic handicaps. The answer to the charge, we believe, will be, that the son is a person. of unsound mind. The witness Rivers, who stated he witnessed the whole transaction, has been taken very seriously ill by the nip ture of a bloodvessel, and although the statement of the transaction has been taken from him, yet it cannot be used as evidence against the accused, as he was not present when it was elicited. In the event of any serious result being apprehended, the prisoner will be taken down to Twickenham for the purpose of identification. THIS DAY'S ShIPPIXG.

THE SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST BARON DE VIDIL. I • • • Owing to the'unfairourable state of the man Rivers, who, it is stated, witnessed the whole transaction at Twicken ham, we believe it has been thought advisable, this morning, to bring the accused, Baron do Vidil, from the House of Detention, to Bow-street police -court in order that ho might be conveyed to Twickenham for the purpose of identification. Information of the circumstance had been telegraphed to the accuser, the prisoner's son, informing him that his presence was absolutely necessary in order that he might be present during the taking of the man's deposition, should such a proceeding bo thought necessary, but it is expected the son will decline proceeding further in the matter, and thus the mysterious affair will terminate. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER AT BOW- STREET. [The following appeared in our Second Edition of last evening :---] Yesterday the Count de Vidil was placed at the bar, charged, on the information of his son, with intent to mur- der him. The prisoner appearcid to be a spare, gentlemanly-looking man, about 50 years of age. He is of the middle stature, and wears a very large flowing beard and moustache. He was dressed in a black frock-coat, a check Chesterfield wrapper, and light trousers. The Baron was brought from Paris to London in the custody of two of the French police, and by them delivered into the charge of Sergeant William son, of the detective force, under whose care he was brought to the police-court. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Charles Pollock, instructed by Mr. Ellis, of Spring-gardens. The accused was defended by Mr. Sleigh and" Mr. Orridge. _ _ _ In answer to Mr. Burnaby the prisoner said his name Was Alfred Louis Pons de Vidil. Mr. Pollock said—l ask you to grant a fresh warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner, as some difficulty might perhaps hereafter arise. The prisoner, on being made aware of the charge against him in Paris, made a request to the Prefect that he might attend in England to answer the charge, and therefore I cannot say that he was appro• hended on your warrant. Air. Corrie—l don't think such a course at all necessary, the prisoner is now in custody. Mr. Sleigh—The Baron is hero at his own request to speak freely. Mr. Pollock—l did not say that the prisoner merely attended at his own request. Mr. Corrie—l don't think any new warrant is necessary, so we will proceed with the case. Mr. Pollock—l am not in a position to go on with the evidence at the present moment, so I propose to have the deposition that was made when you issued your warrant mid, and, having produced a witness to identify the prisoner as the Baron de Vidil, I ask you, Sir, to remand the prisoner to a future day. Mr. Sleigh—My client is charged with wounding with intent to murder, and I think I have a light to demand that some evidence be adduced before he is committed to prison on such a charge. Mr. Pollock—l intend to have the deposition read, and to ask for an adjournment, as I am not prepared to go on. Mr. Corrie—Do I understand you, Mr. Sleigh, that you object to such a course? Mr. Sleigh—Certainly not. I shall not resist such a proceeding. I wish the person who made the deposition to be present while it is read, and then to havo it entered as his sworn statement; but I say that I think evidence of some sort or other should be offered before the baron is locked up as a prisoner. Mr. Corrie—Are you, Mr. Pollock, prepared to go on with the case to-day ? Mr. Pollock—Certainly not. Mr. Sleigh—What I contend is that there ought to be some evidence offered to justify the detention of the baron. Mr. Corrie—All I have to ask you, Mr. Pollock, as re presenting the Crown on this occasion, is, are you prepared to go further than merely identifying the prisoner to-day. If not, I shall take the responsibility of remanding the prisoner—a magistrate has the power to remand without any evidence being offered at all. Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, having read the charge against the prisoner, which was to the effect that he did, on the 28th of June last, wilfully and maliciously cut and wound Alfred John de Vidil, with intent to kill him, Mr. Pollock called Mr. Parker, who, in answer to the questions of the learned counsel, said—l am a magistrate of the county of Hertfordshire. lam acquainted with the person of the Baron de Vidil. I have known him for some years. The person standing at the bar is the Baron do Vidil. Mr. Corrie—l will now hear what you have to say, Mr. Sleigh, but I don't think it at all necessary to proceed fur ther to empower me to remand the prisoner. Mr. Sleigh—lf that is your view of the case, sir, I have nothing further to say. The prisoner was then remanded until Wednesday next. Mr. Sleigh—l think lam justified in saying that if the communications that have been made to me during the few minutes' conversation I have had with my client are borne out by evidence, a very different complexion will be put upon this case hereafter. The Baron was then removed from the dock. During the proceedings he appeared to be greatly agitated, and held his hand up to his face to conceal his emotion. The court was crowded to suffocation during the pro ceedings. About twenty minutes to six o'clock the prisoner was re moved in the police vela to the House of Detention, amidst the hootings and groans of the large crowd outside the court.
