MONEY IdARKET AND COMMEWEAL INTELLIGENOIt CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed firm] ,y --, but prices of all kinds were unchanged. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, 1,000 on 'peculation, comprising 250 Pernam and Maraft ham, at Qd. to N. ; 400 Egyptian, 61d. to 91d. ; 1 ,800 Surats, 4,1 d. to 54d. ; and 250 Sea Islands, la• to ls. Bd. per lb. The Railway Share Mar ket opened quietly, but subsequently improved. The Paris commercial report states that trade, during the past week, remained quiet. Amongst manufacturers there wore very few new commis sions; hut at this season of the year business is 'very dull in some departments, such as the manu factures of winter goods. On the other hand these of little fabrics at Rouen and Alsace are busy. The f oreign merchants have retarded their purchases, and they have asked for a reduction in prices. Up to the present time trade has not been mach in fluenced by the lowering of the rate of discount by the Bank of France. Capitalists who speculate on the Bourse rarely employ their means in commer elal 'operations. From the usual monthly list, compiled by Mr. Miller, of the Jerusalem Coffee-house, we extract the following particulars of the vessels now on the blth for Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, &c. : Vessels.

Navigation Company's vessel to leave South -414t0n on the 4th inst. will take out upwards of ~.4 ° 0 , 0001. in specie. The next West Indian and 'wlexican packet, which is now daily expected, is known to have about 700,000/., chiefly in silver, on board. Th 3 half-yearly meeting of the Bank of British North America was held to-day, when a very favourable report was read. The net profits for t he past year were stated to have been, on the 31st December, 97,706/. ; and the undivided profits, °ll the same date, amounted to 145,117 1 . A uividend, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, 48 declared, and a bonus of 303. per share. The Funds have been without any material va riation from the prices current yesterday afternoon, Nlt the attention of the operators is now chiefly 448 orbed by the arrangements necessary for the 4cliustment of the account. The market ap -I)ears in a firm condition, and it is generally 4 dinitted that had it not been for the un 84tidictory character of the ad vices from , 4. ,'"elr York respecting the Central American ques 'On, the Funds would have attained a much higher e rittt than at present.

It seems that a young Ir ishman, residing in Bristol, while larking with some ° I his countrywomen and neighbours, ran after a buxom f i r ) , who was engaged in sempstress work, and gave " 4 ,er a hug in sport • but, poor fellow, it proved any ring but sport to ' him, for, as he pressed her to his uneons, it turned out all but a fatal embrace, as a needle, which she had in the breast of her gown, literally entered his heart, and broke off short, leaving nearly three parts of an inch of the steel in the muscles. Ye instantly felt sick and faint, and was taken to the infirm ar when it was determined to make an effort to ettractthe broken needle, as, should it remain where it death must quickly ensue from inflammation of the heart. Dr. Green, accordingly cut through the ° .,nter flesh, and having laid bare the surface of the heart, • i' le ecvered a small portion of the needle fragment pro "'ding, sad with a forceps he drew it out. The deli te operation was most successful, but, as much inflam mation had set in before the needle could be extracted, 1 t is still very doubtful whether his lire will he saved.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This IMPRISONMENTS AND EXECIJTIONS IN BiDEN FOR POLITICAL OFFENCES. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Westminster, before Mr. Justice Wighttnan (From a Correspondent of the Morning Advertiser.) and a Common Jun.) ROBINSON V. FOWLER. In 18tS there were in Baden 3,572 persons under trial for high treason, and nearly 10,000 in exile. In tho.same year, in consequence of another popular rising, a similar number was arrested, and several thousands more sought safety in exile. In 1849 the dungeons and public buildings through out the whole country were crowded with prisoners, and it is no exaggeration to say that half the popu lation was either under trial, in exile, shot, or in daily apprehension of arrest. In the same year the following executions took place, within the compass of a few weeks, under the auspices of Prussian Princes, the Grand Duke of Baden, and the present Prince Regent. _ This was an a,Aion for the recovery of 25/. on a pro missory note, signed by the defendant. The plaintiff is an attorney at Settle, in Yorkshire, and the defendant is a Miss Hannah Fowler, who, after signing the bill, handed it ton Mr.Thistlethwaite, an attorney of London, and agent to the plaintiff. The defence was that do• fondant's signature had been obtained by collusion and fraud, and without consideration. It appeared that the defendant had been living with a person of the name of Clapp, who became embarrassed, and whilst he was in custody for debt she was urged by Clapp and Tkistlethwaite to sign the bill in question, which, however, she refused to do. Subsequently Clapp was relea!•ed, and she then consented to sign the note on the express understanding that she was not to be called upon to pay it, it being fur the accommodation of Clapp. The note was delivered to Thistlethwaite, who indorsed it to Robinson, who gave him a check for the amount, after deducting the discount. The question for the con sideration of the jury was whether it was a bona fide discounting of the cheek by Robinson. After hearing evidence, the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. 1. M.

TUE MUNICIPAL DIRECTORY FOR 185 G. KELLY AND CO. The great changes which have been effected in the metropolitan municipal world by the recent act have rendered a municipal directory an urgent desideratum. Iu the present volume will be found all the information sought for, compiled and ar ranged in the usual business-like manner of the spirited publishers. The labour of getting the work up must have been considerable ; and so scrupulously has this been done that the various parts have been subjected to revision by gentle men best qualified to test their accuracy. Thus the public have not only a well filled volume for their money, but also one on which they can confidently rely. Among other things will be found an analysis of the act which has occasioned the necessity for the directory—which we are happy to perceive is to be continued, the present being the first of a series to appear annually. FANCY BAZAAR AT WELLINGTON BARRACK!. The committee of ladies who during the last two years have been occupied in the praiseworthy task of as sisting and providing employment for the wives and chil dren of Guardsmen on foreign service in the East having ascertained that a nursery and infant school were much needed, wherein the younger children of the Brigade of Guards might be tended and instructed during their mo thers' daily absence at work, a subscription has been opened with a view of carrying out that object, and a sufficient sum has already been collected to justify the trustees, Colonels Thornton, Keppel, Steele, Moncrieff, Kingscote, and Carleton, in entering into a negotiation for the purchase of a proper site for such an establish ment, close to the Victoria Lodging-house for married Guardsmen. _ _ Her Majesty the Queen has graciously promised her support to this charitable institution, and their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge and the Duchesses of Kent, Cambridge, and Glocester have already subscribed liberally towards carrying it out. On Thursday and Friday next, the sth and 6th of June, it is intended that a bazaar and fancy fair shall be held at the Wellington Barraeks, in order that further funds may be collected for erecting the necessary build ings, and for the permanent maintenance of the proposed nursery and school. The condition of the wives and families of our private soldiers in barracks has long been a scandal to our ser vice ; and we believe that to the Brigade of Guards be longs the credit of having been the first corps in which practical and effectual measures were taken to ameliorate it. We trust that the public will prove by their attend ance and liberality on this occasion their appre ciation of the exertions of the ladies who during the late war so generously and constantly devoted their time and money to the protection and assistance of the families of those brave men whose absence on duty compelled them to leave those nearest and dearest t 9 them dependent on the kindness and charity of others. THE COLLIERS' STRIKE.-SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE. (Prom the Glasgow Courier.) The strike which has been maintained with such ob stinacy, the colliers would seem now determined to sup port by means more forcible than delegates and placards. A meeting of those " out " in Rutherglen was held on Tuesday evening, and no doubt the usual amount of "moving and resolving," and "reporting and sympa thising," was expended, with all of which, when the objects are peaceable, no fault can be found. Bat a more striking resolution than usual is presumed to have been carried ; for when the meeting dispersed it was quickly bruited about among the gossips of the place that certain nobs who had thought fit to continue at their work were to be stopped next morning. The men referred to—three under-ground labourers in Messrs. Dunlop and Co.'s Rosebank pit, near Rutherglen—re ceived the intelligence, but, determined to judge for themselves, and not through the " union," in the hire of their labour, they set the threat at defiance, and pro ceeded towards their work as usual on Wodnesiay morning, between 4 and 5 o'clock. They were suddenly brought to a stand, however, on the public road by a party of eight or ten ruffians armed with bludgeons, who leaped out of ambuscade in the adjoining fields, and falling on the defenceless men, smashed and wounded them in the most savage and cowardly manner. Lie poor fellows were glad to escape with their lives ; and the savages, having driven them back, rapidly disap peared. The three men, one of whom is advanced in years, have been badly cut and bruised. One of them lost much blood, and all have suffered such injuries as will unfit them for work for some days. That the attack originated in the strike cannot be doubted, for the ruf fians who male it had the appearance of colliers, and demanded of them as they fell on them why they were working, and if they got Se. a day. As usual in such attacks, however, the thrashers were strangers in the neighbourhood, selected because unknown to the objects of their vengeance. Their detection, accordir:Oy, will be difficult. The colliers may assure themselves that though they strike their work they will not strike inof fensive men with impunity. THE NEW BISHOP OF CARLISLE AND THE LOCAL Cn!ETZRY.—TII new Bishop of Carlisle, taking an op posite course i• his predecessor, has consented, says the Carlisle Journal, to consecrate the cemetery without re quiring the erection of a stone fence or any other invidi• ous barrier between the portion of the ground appropri ated to the members of the Church of England and that devoted to persons who ate not members of that body. A deputation of the burial board waited on the bishop, by appointment, a t th e e pi scopa l res id ence , R ose C ast l e, on Friday last, when the whole subject wan fully die cuised. In the course of conversation, his lordship un reservedly gave expression to the most liberal sentiments with reference to all denominations of Christians, and showed that his sympathies were not confined to any one sect, but extended to all. He at once frankly stat ed his opinion that the Canons Ecclesiastical did not apply to cemeteries under the burial acts, and said that he should be perfectly satisfied with boundary stones. TERRIBLE RAILWAY ACClDENT.—Particulars of a terrible accident which occurred on the Panama railroad by which between 30 and 40 persons were killed and 70 and 80 wounded have been received. The accident oc curred about nine miles from Aspinwall. The train was conveying the passengers by the George Law, who were on their way to California. The second car from the locomotive from some cause at present inexplicable ran off the line and was followed by eight others, all of which were precipitated into a ravine 30 feet deep. There could not have been less than 500 persons in the carriages, and it was feared that the above figures are a very small estimate of the loss of life that has taken place. The New York papers describe the scene as horrible. As soon as the wounded could be cent back to Aspinwall owing to the crowded state of the hospital, a pplication was made to the inhabitants to receive them at their houses, but in nearly every instance the white inhabit . - ants, who are hotelkeepers, refused and closed their doers. The unfortunate sufferers were therefore cram med into the hospital where the scene was painful in the extreme. Some of the unfortunate persons were dread fully mutilated. About two thirds of the wounded had one or both legs fractured , besides being otherwise in iured, while out of the whole number but one had a fractured arm. One or two had their skulls broken in. One whole family, consisting of father, mother, and five children, with the exception of one child, was killed, and some had their heads completely severed from their bodioe. notILITATO . 4 Lewdly Compazv, London & i N.

(Sittings at Westminster, before i'Jr. Justice Crowder and a Common Jury.) • CARD V. CARR AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages of the defendlnts, trustees of the Guardian Building SDciety, for having improper!y expelled him from the society. It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff, who was a member of the society in 1851, became six pay. ments in arrears, and on the seventh month went to the office and paid the whole amount due from him. It was afterwards alleged by the Board of the Direction that the money was r;c3ived in _error, contrary to the rules, and a resolution was agreed to by the Board, empowering and ordering their solicitor to inform the plaintiff of his expulsion from the society, in accord ance with the rules, and to repay him the money re ceived of him in error. The solicitor waited ou him accordingly, and tendered him the money, but ho refused to receive it. The points at issue were the power of settling disputes by arbitration, according to the rules, and whether the directors had offered or refused to settle it accordingly. Evidence was then given on the disputed point, and the jury returned a nominal verdict for the plaintiff for 351, that the case might be made a special one for the opinion of the Court above. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, JUNE 2. THE COMMEMORATION. Yesterday evening the weather became fine, and an opportunity was afforded for the promenade in the Broad Walk, that immemorial custom of Show Sunday. 'The walk wa3 crowded with the elite of the university and city, the undergraduates forming the bulk of the pro menaders, while the attendance of ladies, elegantly at tired, added much to enliven the scene. Amongst the latter was Madame Jenny Goldschmidt Lind, who wa., we much regret to say, driven from the promenade by the impertinent curiosity of some of those present, chiefly, we believe, boys, whose behaviour on this occa sion was so annoying to the fair songstress, that the undergraduate., to protect her from such rudeness, formed a barrier across the Broad Walk in front and behind the party she was with, and thus guarded from further annoyance she left the Meadow. To-day the weather was most delightful, and many were the excursions round the environs of Oxford, and not a few down the river to Nunebam, the seat of Mr. Harcourt, M.P. At 12 o'clock Worcester College-gar dens were the grand attraction, where, in a monster tent, upwards of n thousand of the elite partook of a splendid dejeuner, given by the Apollo (University) Lodge of Freemasons, the occasion being the presentation of a magnificent piece of plate to Brother W. W. B. Beach, Eq., of Oakley Hall, Hampshire, M.A., of Christ Church College, P.M.P. Pro S.W.G., and twice Wor shipful Master of the Apollo Lodge. The testimonial consisted of a very elegant group of figures, being five feet in circumfereece, and weighing 500 ounces. The chair was taken by Brother Captain Bowyer, Pro vincial Grand Master of Oxfordshire, who was sup ported by the Vice-Chancellor, the Earl of Carnarvon, Lord Skelmeridale, Lord Vaughan, Lord Lincoln, and the Earl of Coventry. The following are the distinguished individuals on whom it will be proposed to confer the degree of Doctor in Civil Law, by diploma, on Wednesday next, at nine o'clock, viz., the Prince Regent of Baden and Prince Frederick William of Prussia. The commemoration will be honoured by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, D.C.L., their Serene High nesses the Prince Regent of Baden and Prince Fre derick William of Prussia, the Chancellor, the Earl of Derby, who will arrive early on Wednesday, to join the procession at the hall of Worcester College, and from thence proceed in procession to the theatre in company with the following distinguished noble men aad gentlemen, on whom the honorary de gree of D.C.L. will be conferred, viz. ; His Excellency Musurus Bey, Minister Plenipotentiary to the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire ; the Right Hon. the Earl of Clarendon, K.G., G.C.8., one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State ; the Right Hon. the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, I.T. ; the Right Hon.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORD—(This Evening.) ThG LORD CHANCELLOR took his beat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. SECOND READINGS On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following bills were read a second time :—TI2 , Antrim and C >le mine Roads, Banbridge Junction Railway, C n.k and Youhal Railway, Dewsbury Water, Eastern Union R.4il way, Glasgow Courthouses, Knaresborough and Patley Bridge Road. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented petitions from places in Scotland, praying for some measure to do away with the system of unlicensed pawnbroking. The Earl of AIfILIE presented some petitions on the subject of church rates. APPELLATE JURISDICTION BILL. On the motion that the house go into committee on this bill, Lord CAMPBELL said, before the house went into committee on this bill, he wished to correct a mis-state ment that bad appeared in regard to What he had stated when the bill was last before their lordships. It had been stated that he had expressed his admiration of this bill. He certainly approved of the bill, but the measura was not one calculated to excite his enthusiasm ; he looked upon it as a bill called for by" necessity. The Earl of ABERDEEN said he wished to address a few words to their lordships on the subject—not so much in reference to what was contained in the bill, but to what was omitted in it. The noble earl opposite, in claiming their lordships' support in favour of the measure being referred to the select committee on privileges, 'observed upon the unsatisfactory state of the jurisdiction of that house with reference to appeals from Scotland. In that declaration he (the Earl of Aberdeen) thought the noble earl was amply justified. It was natural then to expect that in the bill some remedy should be applied to this evil. In the measure before them, however, no reference whatever was made to those grievances which existed. Scotland was not in the slightest degree alluded to in this bill, and no change or improvement upon the subject of Scotch appeals was provided for. Tee only remedy which he thought should be applied to the evil was to re move altogether Scotch appeals from the jurisdiction of that house, and that a court of final appeal should be established in Scotland, to be presided over by the ablest judicial authorities of that country, and by men of the greatest ability and weight. It was a remarkable fact that in the Articles of Union between England and Scotland no mention was made of any appeals to this country. On the contrary, the 19th article of the Union stipulated that all the existing courts of judicature should remain entire. The noble earl then at some length proceeded to show the nature and extent of the grievance of which he complained, and observed that it was absurd to sup. pose that that house was competent to decide complicated questions of law arising in Scotland, when the law in the two countries differed so widely. [LEFT BITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.) The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour, but .ere being but 38 members present, the house ad. ourned until tomorrow.

GUILDHALL.—Mary Blewitt, a doll manufacturer, residing at No. 1, Neleou-square, Blackfriars-road, ap peared at the bar in discharge of her bail, on remand, charged with being unlawfully in possession of a quantity of llama cloth, well knowing the same to be stolen. On the last examination it appeared that the London premises of Messrs. Fyfe and Co., of Glasgow, in Law. rance-lane, were broken into on the night of the 17th of December last, and about . 120/. worth of cloth were stolen. Information was given to the police, and they discovered that pieces of cloth, resembling in quality that which had been stolen, had been pledged at different pawnbrokers all over London. On the 20th of May, Gayler, a detective officer, stopped two women inßridge. street, Blackfriars, and took from them a piece of cloth, which they bad just redeemed from a pawnbroker's is Shoreditch. Mrs. Adame, one of the women in question, stated that she bought the ticket of the cloth some weeks before, and had sold it again, and had that day taken it out for the person to whom the ticket then belonged. Other witneseas were called, who deposed to having pledged numerous pieces of cloth for the prisoner —some in Walworth, some in the Edge ware.road, and some in various other parts of London. Evidence was produced to show that the prisoner's husband was present when the goods came into the house. Gayler informed his Worship there were upwards of 700 pledges discovered, and about 25 of them had been pawned by a young woman named Alker, who was in the prisoner's employ. Mr. Lewis, jun., for the prisoner, contended that she could not be held responsible, for, supposing the evi. dence to be as stated, and assuming that she knew the goods were stolen, her husband was at home when they came into the house, and all her acts both then and sub. sequently were under his direction and control. The worthy Alderman considered that some further inquiry was necessary before be adjudicated upon the case, and therefore remanded it, admitting the prisoner to bail on the same sureties as before. WORSHIP-STREET.—John Lessy, described as a French polisher, was charged with assault and robbery. An elderly lady named Graham. residing in Red Lion square, Holborn, and one of whose eyes was severely contuse.d, stated :—I was passing through Shoreditch at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, in company of my daughter, whose infant I was carrying, when I noticed the prisoner standing on the other side of the way. He crossed the road, and, as I saw him coming, I can swear he is the man. I was just in the act of placing the infant into the arms of its mother, when the prisoner stopped, placed himself directly in my way, and, deliberately striking me a most violent blow in the face with his fist, rapidly snatched off my specta cles, value if. 103., and ran away. I followed him as well as I could, and was joined by two men, who voluntarily offered to capture him and also ran after him. I never lost sight of the prisoner, whom I succeeded in getting hold of in New Inn-yard ; but the two men then, upon pretence of holding him, loosened my grasp of his coat, and all three escaped agether. I communicated with the police, to whom I gave an accu rate description of the thief, and while going with the constable through Church-street at 3 o'clock in the even ing I again caught sight of the prisoner and gave him in charge. Jane — Baker, a widow, partially confirmed this evi dence, swearing to the prisoner's dress, though not see ing his face ; and Marshall, a constable, deposed to the positive manner in which the prosecutrix identified the accused. In answer to the charge the prisoner said—l can as sure you, sir, the prisoner is entirely mistaken. I live up westwards, and was on my return home from Victo ria Park when she charged me with this offence. Prosecutrix said—l am certain that he is the man. I had not the slightest suspicion he was about to strike and rob me, but his attention seemed fixed upon me, and I must have noticed him altogether for about three minutes. A gentleman in Court upon other business—l cer- tainly think that I kave seen the prisoner latterly at the Thames Polic3-court. . . _ Prisoner—No, I was never in a police-court before inn my life. Mr. D'Eyncourt, however, did not credit this, and ordered him to be committed till that day week for the completion of the evidence. THAMES.—The Rev. G. C. Smith, better known as Boatswain Smith, the itinerant preacher, who has been so often taken into custody for causing an obstruction in the public streets, was again brought before Mr. Yardley, yesterday, charged with obstructing the tho roughfare in Upper East Smithfield, opposite the Lon don Dock, The rev, gentleman, whenever he has appeared at this court, has always inflicted a sermon on the magistrates, who have invariably treated him with the greatest indul gence. To prevent this, Mr. Yardley no sooner observed the defendant in the dock than he looked at th e police sheet before him, and said to Police -sergeant Egerton, 24 H, " You saw the defendant preaching in Upper East Smithfield yesterday afternoon, and a crowd of persons about him ?" Egerton.—Yes, sir, there was a great obstruction. Two ladies had their pockets picked. Mr. Yardley.—Discharge the prisoner. Call on the next case. The aged defendant, who is upwards of 70, and whose once stentorian voice has grown husky and weak, was not to be baulked by the ruse of the magistrate, and com menced as usual :—" I am commanded by the great cap tain of all, my Lord and master, Jesus Christ, to go into"— Mr. Yardley—Yon are discharged. The next case. Kent (an officer of the court)—Stand down, sir. The Rev. Mr. Smith.—" The highways and bye ways"— Mr. Yardley.—Leave the court, Mr. S m ith. The Rev. Mr. Smith, who would not move an inch, although an officer was pulling at his coat, continued the sentence, "and preach the Gospel." Mr. Yardley.—Now, Mr. Smith, will you let me pro ceed with the business of the court ? The Rev. Mr. Smith said he was very sorry to give the magistrates so much trouble. The vice and immo raprevailed in Ratcliff-highway were really dreadful,litwhich and the magistrate had had a specimen of it in the numerous charges of drunkenness and riot and—. Mr. Yardley,—You are discharged, Ur, smith. same e 'ly %Ilk 1 % 0 3,d . line• ron3- ther Laves I .;)ty ()Vert raid. 1 ! ►•a 9F 1 100 10'; all all 100 100 all all IWO 100 all all 3 100 100 'AD r.ll 100 21f all 1.00 100 1 31 Wt) 100 100 all 190 100 16 100 .1.00 22 10.1 it 361 6 V a 73 r' " 1 1
