MONEY MARA "ET AND CITY .NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocic. The Bank of England return, completed to the 20th inst., shows some very favourable changes. The bullion, owing to the diminution in the remittances to the East and to the United States, has been augmented, while the reserve of notes has been increased about half a million ; the other securities show a falling-off of fully a quarter of a million. The public deposits have been largely increased by the active collection of the revenue, and there is nearly a corresponding decrease in the private deposits. The other items of the balance-sheet present no material variation — they will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. £19,518,080 Decrease . • 00 00 00 172,080 Bullion 11,893,256 Increase .. .. 321,924 Rest .. 3,504,936 Increase .. • • • • .• 6,768 Public Deposits SO OS .. 5,651,607 Increase 951,314 Other Deposits Decrease • . • • Seven Day and other Bills ..

In addition to the above, the Niagara sailed to day for Boston and Halifax with £75,400 in specie. A further general advance was apparent in the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon. About £49,000 in Australian gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The bar silver by the Atrato from the 'West Indies has been sold at ss. ld. per oz. standard, showing a decline of Id. from the former price. Notice has been given that the Exchequer Bills falling due on the 11th proximo will be paid off or renewed at the rate of 2d. per cent. per diem, which is an increase of Id. Rather more animation was exhibited in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices remained without change. The sales were about 7,000 bales. The official returns relating to trade and naviga tion for the 12 months ending the 31st of December, have just been published. From these it appears that the total declared value of the exports from the United Kingdom was £135,842,817 against £130,411,529 in the year 1859, showing an increase of £5,431,288; the augmentation being most per ceptible in coals and culm, cotton manufactures, linen manufactures, linen yarn, sheep and lamb's wool, and woollen manufactures. The importations of the principle articles were larger as regards live animals, cocoa, coffee, corn, flour, raw cotton, pro visions, spices, tallow, tea, tobacco, wine, and sheep and lamb's wool. The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the twelve months of 965,737 tons for the entries in wards, and of 541,912 for the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade for the twelve months 471,294 tons more were employed than in the corresponding period of 1859 for the entries inwards, and 504,928 tons for the clearances outwards. There has been an absence of important fluctua tion to-day in the market for Public Securities, Con sols being 91 1 for money, and 91& 1 for the ac count. Business, as usual on Saturday, has been very quiet. New Threes and the Reduced were steady at 911 1 ; India Stock is 2231 and 225 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Loan was 991; but Exchequer Bills were firm at 6s. and 2s. dis. Business in the Foreign Market has been mode rately active, and prices have shown little varia tion. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 691 to 691 ; ditto 1858, 541 to 541; ditto £lOO Bonds were flat at 56 ; Spanish were firm at 481 ; Mexican at 231 4 ; Portuguese at 461; but Russian 41 per Cents. were flat at 911 and 911. Business in the Railway Share Market continued inactive, and further depression prevailed. North Western, Midland, and North Eastern (Berwick), declined 10s., and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln £1 Oreat Wcotern advanced 55., and Lancashire and Yorkshire 10s. The Foreign and Colonial Markets were dull. Paris and Lyons declined 10s. ; Great Western of Canada 55.; and East India ss. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were in limited request, without any material change in ♦alues. CES. BRITISH FUNDS —CLOSING PR' 3 per Cent, Reduced Annuities 9ll 3 per Cent.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY. • APPEAL-RIDGIWAY V. NEWSTEAD. Mr. Elmsley, Q.C., resumed and concluded his arguments for the respondents. Mr. Wikens followed on the same side. This was an appeal from a decree of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, dismissing the plaintiff's bill. Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., was heard in support of the decree. LIVERPOOL STEEPLECHASE. Bto 1 agst Franc Picard (taken and offered) 10 to 1 agst Anatis (taken) 10 to 1 agst Emperor (take 100 to 9) 11 to 1 agst Jealousy (taken) 14 to 1 agst Old Ben Roe (taken) 20 to 1 agst Xanthus (taken) THE TWO THOUSAND GVINEAS. Bto 1 agst Klarikoff (taken) 10 to 1 agst Russley (taken freely) The plaintiff, mortgagee on plant and machinery in a leasehold brewery, filed his bill for restitution of a portion of £2,000 legacy to Mary Ann Moore, who died in 1854, and to her children on attaining the ago of 21. Mr. Greenside followed on the same side, and contended that the plaintiff was barred from claiming restitution by lapse of time and acquiescence. Mr. Beacon, Q.C., was heard in reply, and mentioned that the £2,000 was part of the assets of the testator, and that the plaintiff. was entitled to claim restitution under his mortgage. The Lord Chancellor reserved judgment. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard J. Kindersley, Mr. Justice Willis, and Mr. Baron Channell.) HUGHES V. THE CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY COMPANY-MOTION FOR DECREE. The plaintiff filed his bill for the purpose of establishing his right to make a railway on his lands on the seaboard side of the defendants' railway for general traffic purposes. The Vice-Chancellor refused an injunction to restrain inter ference with the plaintiff's works, and that decision was in effect reversed by the Lords Justices.

Another private meeting was held to-day in this matter. It will be remembered that Mr. North is in custody upon a charge of having obtained a quantity of tallow by alleged false pretences. The meeting was strictly private, for what reason has not at present transpired. POLICE IN7ELLIIE'NCE—(TMs Day). MENTS. MARLBOROUGH STREET. ROBBERIES AT COFFEE-ROUSES.—Peter Kimple, a Ger man tailor, of 15, POrtugal-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a, coat, the pro perty of a German professor named Edward Funkenstein, at a coffee-house, No. 2, Old Compton-street. The prosecutor said he was at a coffee-house in Old Comp ton-street, and had laid his coat down, and shortly after missed the prisoner mad also his coat, which was of the value of £2 10s. He went in pursuit of the prisoner, and saw him going along with his coat on his back. Having given the alarm, two firemen took the prisoner into custody. Henry Spendilow, engine keeper of St. Ann's parish, proved hearing a cry of " Stop thief," and pursuing the pri soner in King-street, on his return from a fire. The pri soner ran into a passage, and when he entered he found him lying down. With assistance he took him into custody. Sergeant Silverton, acting inspector, said that about 20 duplicates were found on the prisoner, and as several um brellas and teats had been stolen from coffee-houses, and prisoner answering the description of the man, he thought AQUATICS. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT-OARED RACE. if he was remanded that other cases might be proved against him. The prisoner entered into a rambling statement in his defence, stating that his brother had given him a coat. Mr. Tyrwhitt said after the cock-and-bull statement about his brother, he should remand him, and ho had better have him in attendance. THAMES. REFUSAL TO REMOVE A PREGNANT WOMAN TO IRE LAND.—Mr. Coningham, one of the parochial officers of St. Anne's, Limehouse, introduced to the magistrate, Mr. Selfe, a poor woman named Mary Owens, for the purpose of baking her examination upon oath and obtaining the magis trate's sanction for her removal to her native place, Cork. Mary 0 wens said, in answer to questions put by Mr. Selfe, that she had been four years in England and was far advanced in pregnancy. She did not want to go to Ire land, and was afraid of encountering the perils of the voyage in the state she was in. Mr. Selfe—When do you expect to give birth to a child ? The woman replied, " Yer Honour, I don't know one day from the other. Mr. Selfe—And who is the father of your child, young woman ? The woman, in answer to this question, said, " Well, yer worship, it's a young man that made love to me. (A. laugh.) Mr. Selfe—And you are not married ? The woman held down her head, and replied that she was not married. Coningham said the Board of Guardians of the Stepney union had ordered the removal of the woman to Ireland, and Mr. J. B. Ross, jun., one of their medical officers, had certified there would be no danger in her undertaking a voyage to Ireland if she was sent away immediately. Mr. Selfe said it was a great hardship on English rate payers to have to support the woman and her bastard child, but he could not thinleof sanctioning her removal t. Ire land at present. The woman, to use her own words, did not know one day from the other when her accouchement would take place. Under these circumstances it would be most improper to send her to Ireland at present, and the Union must take charge of her and maintain her in Wapping poorhouse. NOVEL APPLICATION—REFUSAL OF A UNION OFFICER TO BURY TIIE CORPSE or A CIIILD.—A woman named Barry, the wife of a dock labourer, of No. 12, George court, Harris's-court, Ratcliff, complained to Mr. Selfe that the body of her infant child, which was found dead in its bed, and upon which a coroner's inquest was held a fortnight ago, was still unburied, and that she and her hus band were in great poverty, and had not the means of bury ing it.

The applicant said she had applied to Lowen, the reliev ing officer of Ratcliff, in the Stepney Union, and he refused to give her a coffin. Mr. Selfe—l suppose you have undertaken to pay the expense of the funeral except the coffin. The Union will not do anything unless everything is provided at the ex pense of the ratepayers. That is the rule, I believe. Mr. Livingston, the chief usher—Yes, sir, that is so. The applicant here said—Your worship, we have only one room to live in, myself and husband, and two chil dren, and the body is in the same room, and has been there for a fortnight. I produced the coroner's warrant fur the burial of the body, and Mr. Lowen will not give me a coffin to put the body in, and I can't afford to buy one. Mr. Selfe said if the woman's statement was correct, there was gross neglect in some quarter or other. The body ought to have been buried long since. The magistrate then ordered the chief usher to give the woman 6s. from the poor-box fund, and wrote a note, which he directed the applicant to convey to Lowen, and if he did not take the necessary measures for the immediate interment of the body, ho (Mr. Selfe) would interfere in another way. BANK OF ENGLAND RETURNS. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—YESTERDAY. The Waterloo Coursing meeting had the effect of taking: away almost all the influential members of the rooms, and with those present the most interest seemed to be talking over the probable result of the Waterloo Cup ; however, we were, from what took place during the afternoon, enabled to make up the following scanty list of quotations : LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING, 1861.

The exact day for this great event has:not yet been finally settled by the authorities, as it may in some measure de pend upon the Trinity examinations at Cambridge; but in all probability Saturday, March 23, will be fixed upon, and on that day the tides will allow of a start at a more reason able hour than has of late been usual. We give the names and weights of the rival crews as they have been rowing during the past week, but it is possible that alterations may take place in the former, and very certain that on the day the latter will be considerably changed, when severe train ing and long rows shall have told their invariable tale. Let the good wishes of all oarsmen cheer both crews through those unseen labours which are at last to reap their reward in the general approval axed praise of the practised critic on the Putney waters. st lb IG.

Nors worthy's challenge cup and the silver medals, between the rounetationers (holders of the cup), and the Commoners, was rowed over the Nuneham course on Friday, Feb. lb. The Commoners winning the toss, took the Berkshire side. A. good start was effected by Mr. Hopkins, and for the first 50 yards neither boat appeared to gain ; after this the Com moners began to show in front, but at the railway bridge the bows of the two boats were again level. From this point the Commoners resumed the lead, and a very plucky and exciting race ended in their victory. Time 11 min 30 sec. The steering of both boats, especially that of the victors, was very good, and the rowing of Mr. Arnould was much admired. The following are the names and weights of the crews : at lb 1 E. V.

The Bank return of this evening amply demon• strates the absence of any cause for the advance in the rate of discount adopted last week, the increase both in the bullion and the reserve being very large. A reference to past experience constitutes the only means for estimating at any time the pro bable course of the Bank, and no one guided simply by that light could have been prepared for a move ment to 8 per cent. The measure being without any apparent justification, those who defended it had no argument except that there might be great apprehensions of a drain from causes of which the general public were unaware. Such a ground of action, however, is wholly opposed to the spirit of the Bank Charter Act, and substitutes the mere fancies of the directors in place of that inexorable and automatic movement which should follow the changes in the stock of bullion. The public throughout the whole of the past ten days have been kept in alarm from the assumption that, as the rate had been put to a point entirely unwar ranted by a comparison of the figures of the last return with those of any former return, there must be some hidden danger im pending, which in due time would be revealed. The idea was ridiculous, because all persons should be aware that the Bank Court can have no information regarding the foreign exchanges and the flow of money beyond such as is accessible to the whole world ; but it nevertheless prevailed extensively, and has wrought considerable alarm and inconvenience. • The return now published should effectually dispel this feeling, but it may be useful also to point out that there has rarely been a time when there was less reason to fear the possibi lity of unsoundness in the financial condition of the country. The exportation of bullion for the last three months has been almost entirely in exchange for foreign produce. We have therefore something to show for it. Cotton and grain are as good as gold in their way, and if the same cannot be said of American securities, there is, at all events, no reason to doubt that those which we have purchased lately in such extraordinary quantities can, in case of need, be realised in the New York market without any ruinous depreciation. As regards foreign loans, we are actually without a single commitment —an almost unprecedented occurrence ; and for foreign undertakings generally our liabilities are smaller than at any period within recent memory. Never, therefore, could a " precautionary" movement have been taken at a moment when it was less directly needed. It would, however, have been harmless, and have led to no result, except that of lessening the business of the Bank, but for the fact that the currency is being absorbed by that establishment, not merely through the regular influx of the re venue, but also from the payment into its coffers of £700,000 or £BOO,OOO on account of the India loan. Under such circumstances the public have but a very limited remedy, and must, after a few weeks' resistance, pay whatever is demanded. That the Bank do not seek to take advantage of events to grasp extortionate rates is fully understood, and their whole course of late years has been such as to show that, whatever disgraces may attend some of our public concerns, this at least is managed with a sincere sense of, responsibility. But a mistake is a mistake, whatever its cause, and, looking at the vague anxieties with which the commercial public have been oppressed during the past few weeks by the crisis in the Levant trade and the aomm t e h r; cial confusion in America, there ar e few among the mercantile public who have not felt that_ last timidity and inconsistency of the policy of of I exercise of dis quietude which called rather for the week operated as a needless aggravation a dis q 011 every legitimate means for its ppression.—limes' City Article.

As this is the heaviest gale recorded here for vary many years, it will be interest ing to see the above result compared with the notes of observers at different stations. The bar silver by the West India steamer has been disposed of at 61d. per ounce, showing a decline of d. from the previous price. The falling off in the demand for India, owing to the high rate of money here, is the cause of this reduction, JOINT-STOCK BANKS. 100 Agra&UnitedService .131, 50 83 E 5 40 Australasia ) all 67 69 25 , Bank of Egypt.

The screw steamship Gibraltar, 101, was placed yesterday in No. 3 dock, K eyham Steamyard, to have her propelling apparatus adjusted and valves overhauled. Arrangements were made yesterday at Keyham to remove the screw steamship Howe, 121, from the basin to her moorings in Hamoaze, and to place the screw steamship Royal Albert, 121, Capt. H. D. Lacon, in. Forty-four shipwrights, eight joiners, eight smiths, two millwrights, two sawyers, and 4 zB labourers are to be discharged from the Devonport Dockyard on the 16th of March. In consequence of the severe weather on Thurs day afternoon, steam was got up on board the Narcissus, Jason, and Geyser in Plymouth Sound to assist their anchors. The Narcissus and Jason ruck lower yards, the Geyser lower yards and ,opmasts. Yesterday morning lower yards were sent up, sails loosed, and topgallant yards crossed. During the storm at Plymouth on Thursday the Coastguard watch vessel Linnet, moored off New Passage, parted from her moorings, and was driven alongside the wall of the gunwharf. Severll boats in the basin of the Devonport Dockyard were damaged, and large sheets of lead on the roofs of the building shed No. 1 were curled up like paper. A barge was sunk alongside the sea wall of the Keyham Steamyard. The screw steam sloop Pantaloon, 11, built in the Devonport Dockyard, and now in the third division of the steam ordinary, is to be brought for ward for the first division, in place of the Desperate. The contract-built screw steam gunvessel Steady, 4, now in the second division, is to be advanced to the first division of the steam. ordinary, in place of the Nimble, 5, recently put in commission, and now fitting alongside the Devonport Dockyard. The War Department screw steamvessel Lord Panmure, M. Moore, master, is receiving condemned stores at Bull Point Works, Plymouth, for convey ance to Woolwich. The screw steam troopship MegEera, Commander Henderson, having embarked draughts from the Royal Artillery, quartered in Plymouth citadel, left Hamoaze yesterday for Woolwich. In order to provide additional accommodation for the large stores of shot and shell which are being accumulated at Upnor Castle, opposite Chatham Dockyard, for the supply of the ships of war fitted out at Chatham and Sheerness, the Government has decided on erecting a large building on the Crown lands adjoining the Castle to serve as a store for shells. This building is expected to cost nearly £4,000, of which sum £2,000 will be taken in this year's Estimates for the commencement of the work. A considerable sum will also be required for the purchase of the private property adjacent to the magazines at Upnor, in order to insure the better security of those buildings. The month's notice given to the hired mechanics and labourers at Chatham Dockyard having termi nated, the first batch of the hands to be discharged from that establishment will leave the dockyard to day, when 58 mechanics, most of them excellen t workmen, will quit the service of the Admiralty. The same number will leave the dockyard weekly until the 25th of May, by which date the whole of the 800 hands to be discharged will have left the establishment. An impression has for some time past prevailed among the shipwrights to be dis charged of their being able to procure employment in the French dockyards at Cherbourg and Brest, where they had intended transferring their services after quitting this establishment. Within the last few days, however, private letters have been received from France, in reply to applications from some of the shipwrights at Chatham, intimating that there is no chance whatever of an English shipwright obtaining employment at either of the French naval yards, as, although the utmost activity prevails at those establishments, there are comparatively few wooden vessels now under construction, the atten tion of the French Government being just now almost wholly devoted to the construction of iron cased vessels. A notice was yesterday issued from the office of the Council of Military Education, Whitehall, and forwarded to the various commanding officers at the several military stations, intimating that the Secretary of State for War has, upon the recom mendation of his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief, given his sanction to the children of deceased soldiers enjoying the same advantages at the military schools as the children of soldiers still serving, the terms of payment being in each case the same.

The gale which during the night of Wednesday and the whole of Thursday swept over the metro polis with such unexampled violence, has done serious injury to the Crystal Palace, though by no means so much as to justify the alarming and exaggerated rumours which prevailed yesterday as to the greater part of the building havinc , been destroyed. The building itself is uninjured, not a single pane of glass having even been broken in it. It is to the north wing that the damage has been done, and the destruction of this has been so total that only a huge pile of ruins—broken columns, shattered glass, and fragments of painted woodwork —remain to mark the spot where the wing so re cently stood. In the first design for the erection of the Palace at Norwood we believe these side wings were not included. As the works progressed, however, it was found necessary to h ave a w i ng to t h e south, in order to cover in the route by which the building could be approached from the railway, when, for the sake of uniformity, a corresponding wing was built on the north side also. Each of these wings, as our readers are aware, was carried down the bill for a considerable distance. Both we re constructe d on the same plan as the main building, and both were, for the greater part of their length, 48 feet high by 40 feet wide. At the end of each was built a lofty square tower in four stories, 96 - feet high and 80 feet square at the base. These were erected to carry the water tanks for the supply o f the fountains, and the iron framework therefore was of extra strength and laid together with un usual care. But, strongly as they were built, it was found when the tanks had. been erected on their summits that they were not equal to carry ing the weight of so large a body of water. The tanks therefore had to be removed, as everybody had foreseen they must be, and two water towers were commenced, which were just completed, when it was again discovered that they too were unequal to their duties, and the towers were accordingly taken down, and the two fine water towers now standing erected in their place. The south wing of the building was of course only used by the visitors going to and from the railway. Tho north wing was at first set apart as a photographic gallery, then as a picture gallery, and latterly it has only been employed for the poultry exhibitions. It was found, however, after the removal of the tanks, that from the want of a top weight to steady them the wind, when violent, acted more against the huge square sides of these towers than on any part of the Crystal Palace itself. When the tower of the south wing was given up to Mr. Strange to be divided into a number of separate summer dining rooms the topmost storey was removed, but the north wing was left of the height it was originally built. Under this wing was a large storehouse, and this has escaped uninjured, as has also the carpenters' work shop at the end of the wing nearest the building. During all,Thursday the wind blew over the hills at Norwood with extraordinary fierceness full. against the front of the Palace facing towards Lon don. That it was more violent here than in other suburban districts is eviderced by the broken branches of trees, the palings, and even garden walls blown down in the neighbourhood. But, although the pressure of the gale upon the whole surface of the Palace must have amounted in the aggregate to several thousand tons, not the smallest perceptible effect was produced upon it, and, as we have stated, not a single pane of glass was broken. All stood well, till about half past 7 o'clock on Thursday:night, when, during one of the fearful gusts which then swept over the hill, some men- in. the carpenters' room heard a little crashing of glass and iron, and immediately ran out on to the terrace garden. In another minute, with an appalling crash, the huge tower fell over among some trees, and lay smashed into millions of fragments on the ground. In the course of two or three minutes more the rest of the wing went, by 30 or 40 yards at a time, till a total length of about 110 yards strewed the earth, a mere mass of splinters of glass, wood, and iron. Anything more complete than the destruction it would be difficult to imagine. The appearance of the ruin rather suggests that every part of the build ing has been carefully broken into small pieces than that it has been merely blown down. A tremendous explosion could not possibly have shattered the place more effectually. The woodwork is all in small pieces, the cast iron columns are broken up like glass, and the tie rods twisted and torn into every shape. Fortunately, there was nothing la this wing but the empty pens used at the late poultry show, and a number of garden seats; all these, of course, are more or less destroyed. As far as can be judged from the way in which the ruins have fallen, it would seem that the corner column nearest the railway must have had to sustain the thrust exercised upon it by the other columns yielding to the force of the gale. As the wind came in gusts, it is supposed the tower must have oscillated to such a degree as to force the corner column, on which the main strain came, out of its perpendicular, when, of course, it snapped at once. It was no dcubt the breaking of this which the carpenters first heard, and ran out on to the terrace, when the tower, thus deprived of its main support, fell instantly before the next blast. It is 9 great proof, however, of the strength of the structure, that when the rest of the wing was thus weakened and broken by the fall of the tower it was not instantly overthrown also. It stood for several minutes, and only fell piece by piece as the wind swept down upon it with almost the force of a hurricane. The strength of either of these wings however, is not to be compared with the enormous strength and compactness with which the main building is put together. The cost of rebuilding the north wing, it is stated, would not amount to more than £6,000, but as lately it was never used for anything but the poultry shows, which can just as well be held in the south wing, it is not probable hat it will be rebuilt at all. The following is the official report of the damage done : "Crystal Palace, Feb. 22. " Sir,—l regret to have to inform you that during the gale which raged here with excessive violence between 6 and 7 o'clock last evening the square block which formed the termination of the north wing of the Palace was blown down, carrying with it a portion of the corridor which led to it, and in which the poultry shows have been recently held. Both block and corridor were empty, with the ex ception of a few garden-seats and trestles stowed there during the winter. No personal injury has taken place, nor has anything been damaged, except the shell of that portion of the structure above mentioned. The main building and the other portions of the company's property are entirely uninjured. " I may add that the block in question, and its com panion at the opposite end of the terrace, were originally designed to carry the tanks for playing some of the foun tains. But this idea having been at an early period aban doned, the upper storey remained without the weight in tended to steady it, and was therefore more subject to the action of the wind. The south block was reduced in height last year, when it was added to the refreshment department, and it was in the contemplation of the directors to do the same by the other. " It appears that the wind must have first taken the upper part of the block, and that this, in its fall, brought down the adjoining corridor; but as the accident happened after the closing of the building, no precise particulars are known as to the manner of its occurrence. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " G. GROVE, Secretary." STATE OP TRADE. ANCHESTER, FEBRUARY 22.—There has been little or no business offering, but it is reported that prices are rather steadier for Blackburn yarns and shirtings. This is attributed to a rather steadier cotton market, and to an impression that the strike at Blackburn will be amicably settled. The mas ters have offered to reconsider the question of short time in a month if the workmen will work full time till then, and though at a public meeting of the operatives on Thursday these terms were rejected, the manufacturers attending the market to-day appear sanguine that most of their workpeople will resume work on Monday. The pr incipal sales of long cloths and T cloths are to t he home trade, and these goods are relatively the beat in prices in the market, bit the value of these has been weaker this week. The business in yarns has been very limited , and for most kinds sellers have had to accept lower rates to press D E ATH OF L BBAYBROOKE. — The decease of took this nobleman LORD on Thursday morning, at his s eat at A.udley En d.

THE PROPOSED CITY IMPROVEMENTS AT SMITH FIELD.—Yesterday notiees were issued that, .for the pur pose of carrying out the intentions of all parties concerned in the promotion of the establishment of a dead-meat mar ket at Smithfield, the promoters of that object have directed several houses in King-street and West Smithfield to be disposed of and taken down. The site in question is also in the line of the several projected railways which are to hove their termini in the neighbourhood of this locality. Government has determined on presenting the sum of £2,000 towards the erection of a soldiers' institute, for the exclusive use of the troops at Chatham garrisog. on ifs ra tr- Ittle go— Toha Lrder
