ONEY 11A1 ET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur ing the last few days have remained very inactive, No change can be recorded in the value of tea, but sugars have slightly declined. For coffee there has been a better inquiry, and good and fine descrip tions have realised full values. Rice, saltpetre, and tallow have been in limited demand, at barely pre vious quotations. There was an extensive demand for cotton in the Liverpool Cotton, Market yesterday, and the sales reached 30,000 bales, one-half of which were purchased for export and on speculation. An advance of Id. to id. per lb. was established on the current qualities of American, but other deserip tious were unchanged. The bullion operations at the Bank of England Yesterday comprised the influx of 10,000 sovereigns. The West India packet which left to-day took Out £BO,OOO. There is still a brisk inquiry for money, and full rates are in all cases demanded by the banks and discount houses. The Indian Loan is now before the public. It is to be negotiated in a 5 per cent. security, not redeemable until the year 1870, and the amount required is £4,000,000. Tenders, which must be accompanied by a deposit of 2 per cent., will be received until twelve o'cloock on Friday, the 12th instant, and a payment will have to be made on the 19th instant of such a follow s , sum as will l eave 80 per cen t. t o b e su b scr ibed as V iz. :-20 per cent. on the 20th August, 20 per cent. on the 24th September, 20 per cent. on the 22d October, and 20 per cent. on the 19th November. Discount at the rate of 5 per cent. will be allowed for payments in advance. A small amount of business has been transacted in the market for Public Securities to-day, and it 11, E4 failed to influence quotations. Consols bei ng 8 91 I for money, and 89Z „I-for the account. The New Three per Cents. and the Reduced Annuities remained steady, at ° BB4 f. Bank Stock realised 2301 ; India 5 per Cent. Loan, 981 ; and India Debentures, 951 t. Exchequer Bills were heavy, at lls. to Bs. discount for the March issue, and 7s. to 3s. dis. for the June ditto.

The merriment con sists in a retired drysalter, Mr. Pipkin, receiving as a pre sent a " Gorilla," which of course upsets everything in the quiet villa of the old gentleman ; and, as usual With farce w r it ers, t h e hand of the fair Marian is the price of the riddance of the obnoxious brute. Mr. Toole made a capital part of the aforesaid drysalter, and Paul Bedford blade a very lively Gorilla. JThe whole of the characters took part in a parody on the umping song of "The Cure," which brought the curtain dow n amid loud applause. The immense successful drama, the " Colleen Bawn," is to be withdrawn next week, although it still continues remarkably attractive. The reason for so doing is that Mr. and Mrs. Bourcicault may take a little rest from the mono tonous duty of repeating nightly for more than 200 times the words of their respective parts. To fill up the void Mr. Webster will appear as Robert Laundry in the celebrated sensation drama "The Dead Heart." Prince William and the Princess Royal of Prussia, Countess Bruhl, Count Furstenstein, Colonel Kingscote, and suite, occupied her Majesty's box last evening during the performance of the "Colleen Bawn."

Sir,--.There is a great deal of public sympathy, and of d eeper sort than usual, awake at present on the subject of I nspector Braidwood. It is a beautiful emotion, and ap parently a perfectly just one, and well bestowed. Judging by whatever light one gets, Braidwood seems to have been a. man of singular worth in his department, and other wise; such a servant as the public seldom has. Tho roughly skilled in his function, nobly valiant in it, and faithful to it—faithful to the death. In rude, modest form, actually a kind of hero, who has perished in serving us Probably his sorrowing family is not left in wealthy cir tumstances, Most certainly it is pity when a generous erection, in many men, or in any man, has to die out f utile, and leave no action behind it. The question, there fore, suggests itself—Should not there be a " Braid wood DTe stimonial," the proper parties undertaking it, in a modest, serious manner, the public silently testifying (to 111111 6 extent, at least) what worth its emotion has ? .). venture to throw out this hint, and, if it be acted on, *ill, With u great satisfaction, give my mite among other Pep p l e; but must, for good reasons, say further, that this t B h 9 I can d o i n th e ma tt er (of which indeed, I know no • ing but what everybody knows, and a great deal less than e ,!, 21 7 reader of the newspapers knows) ; and that, in parti `"ar, I cannot answer any letters on the subject, should suo, h appen .' to be sent me.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell and a Common Jury.) BENT V. BENT AND FOOTMAN. This was the petition of the husband, a farmer in Leices tershire, praying for a divorce on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, who is a wine merchant, and a gentleman of some property in the same county. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Pullen, were counsel for the petitioner ; Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. W. Marshall for the respondent; and Mr. Overend, Q.C., and Dr. Spink for the co -respondent. i From the statement of counsel it appeared that the parties were married in 1852, and cohabited until last December, when it was alleged that the petitioner discovered the adultery to have been committed at a public house called the Denbigh Arms, at Lutterworth, some weeks previ ously. The parties lived on the most affectionate terms until the time of her alleged seduction. When the petitioner discovered his wife's infidelity he immediately communi cated with his solicitor. He then sent £lO to his wife, stating that he had found out her misconduct, and would not return to the house until she left. The respondents pleaded merely denial, and the petitioner laid damages at £3,000. Mr. William Bent, brother of the petitioner, stated that he was a farmer at Kelworth, in Leicestershire, and proved the marriage, which was solemnised in October, 1852. After the marriage his brother and wife resided at Kilmor ton Lodge for three or four years. When they removed to Webdoft, in Leicestershire, he was in the habit of visiting them frequently, and they lived very happily together. Mr. Thomas Wilson, brother-in-law of the petitioner, stated that he also was a frequent visitor at his house, and that petitioner and his wife appeared to live on the happiest terms. Mr. Footman occupied a very highly respectable position. Mr. Footman was a wholesale wine merchant, and he was in the habit of going out with the hounds dressed in scarlet, and he was a subscriber to the hunting club in the county. Mr. Bent, the petitioner, was in the habit of entertaining gentlemen at his place, and amongst other guests was the co -respondent. From something he heard last December, he went to the Denbigh Arms, and had some conversation with Mr. Bent and his brother. Previously he had seen Mr. Footman, who addressed him and held out his hand, which he declined to take after what he understood had occurred. In the mu' se of a conversation that ensued, Mr. Footman denied the charge against him, and said that nobody worth powder and shot had made the accusation. The witness then said he was worth powder and shot, and he repeated the charge, that not only had he seduced Mrs. Bent, but that he had boasted of it at the house of a gen • tleman in the neighbourhood. Mr. Footman asked him, did he consider that he was such a fool as to make a boast of that description. Witness said he considered him fool enough for anything when he was drunk. He repeated the words which he said he had used on the occasion in question, which were that he had stated he had dined with a friend and seduced his wife after din ner, and would be only too happy to act in a similar way again. Afterwards he went with the petitioner and his brother to the Denbigh Arms, and saw Mrs. Years, the landlady, and k ome of the servants,and, after interrogating them, he and petitioner went to Mr. Walsom, his solicitor. Mr. Footman told me that he had about £7OO a-year, and that he lived at the rate of £lOOO a-year. In cross-examination he said, that Mr. Footman's house, at Lutterworth, adjoined the Denbigh Arms. He kept a carriage which could be used for one or two horses, and when he stated to witness that he had £7OO a-year he was not drunk. Ellen Mawby said she was in service at Mr. and Mrs. Bent's at Webdoft in 1859 and 1860, and they lived very happily. Mr. Footman came to the house first in Christ mas 1859, and afterwards she saw him frequently shooting over Mr. Bent's land. She remembered his coming there during the absence of Mr. Bent. On oneoccasion Mr. Bent spent the day at his father's, which was some miles die. taut, and Mr. Footman came to the house that day and remained a long time. Elizabefa Wakefield said—She had resided at Webdoft with her father, but was at present living with Mr. Bent at the Mona farm. Before she went to live at Mr. Bent's, she visited at his house, and she was able to say from per sonal observation that he and his wife lived very happily together. After Mr. Footman became a visitor at the house, Mrs. Bent began to dress more gaily. Ann Elizabeth Jee deposed to having lived at the Den bigh Arms, which was kept by her aunt, Mrs.Vears. There was a room at the house for the farmers, another for their wives, which was numbered six. She remembered Mr. Bent bringing his wife to the house frequently. He used to dine with the farmers, and she used to go to the room No. 6. Mr. Footman was in the habit of calling frequently, and he came there on some occasions while Mrs. Bent was in the house. She generally occupied the bar-parlour, and could see parties going up and down stairs, and she saw Mr. Footman go up to the .room No. 6 every day that Mrs. Bent came lately. He used not to take anything at the house on these visits. On one occasion she saw him in a very indecent position on the sofa, and she spoke to her aunt on the subject. On the 26th of October, 1860, Mr. Footman called, and she watched him and saw him go into No. 6 without knocking. She proceeded to state that she looked through the keyhole, and saw Mr. Footman and Mrs. Bent in an indecent position. The jury found that the adultery had been committed, and assessed the damages at £l,OOO. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) A MINOR CANNOT BE SUED FOR CALLS.-IMPORTANT JUDGMENT.-THE LONDON FREE-LABOUR COMPANY (CO-OPERATIVB STORE) V. SMITH, JUN. This was an action to recover calls, defendant, a minor, being the holder of certain shares in the company. Mr. Aubin, for defendant, pleaded infancy. Mr. Whitehurst, for the company, urged at great length that defendant was liable, and called attention to the Act, in which it was laid down that a minor might appear by his next friend or guardian. Cases were quoted in which the Courts had ruled that a minor, as holder of shares in certain railway companies, was liable. Mr. Aubin, on the other hand, said that, in each cases, the defendant was of age when he was sued, and had not repudiated the shares either during his minority or subse quently. This morning his Honour read Mr. Sergeant Wheeler's judgment, as follows:—" In searching through the autho rities I have no hesitation in finding for the defendant, in accordance with the well-known railway case.* Verdict for defendant, with costs of attorney. THE MAIN DRAINAGE RATE.—IMPORTANT LANDLORD AMID TENANT CASE.—HAWRINS AND OTHERS V. OSa 00D. In a case of landlord and tenant, the plaintiffs claimed that defendant should pay the Main Drainage Rate, and produced a lease in which defendant had covenanted to pay all rates. His Honour elicited that the lease was made before the Main Drainage Rate, and ruled that the rate was a land lord's rate, and that the tenant could not be called upon to pay it. His Honour thought that landlords were the greediest set of people in existence, and they were shifting all the rates and taxes on the shoulders of the tenant. Very soon they would call every morning for their break fast. Upon. the other points in the case, plaintiffs were not suited. THIS DAY'S ArAREETS. HAY MARKETS.

TEA..—The market has continued very inactive, without any material change in prices. SUGAR.— Only limited transactions have been entered into, chiefly in grocery descriptions, for home requirements, and prices have shown rather less firmness. In the refined market late rates are sustained. COFFEE.—For good and fine qualities of Plantation Ceylon there has been an active inquiry, an d in some instances slightly advanced prices have been obtained. Inferior descriptions of Native, however, have slightly declined. RICE.—The market has been dull, and the few sales effected were at barely previous rates. SALTPETRE.—Business has continued dull without any change of importance to notice in values. TALLOW.—The transactions have been of th e mos t limited character, and quotations had slightly given way.

INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM, WANSTEAD.—On Friday, the 28th instant, the Prince Consort paid a private visit to this asylum, after laying the foundation stone of the Merchant Seamen's Institution, at Snaresbrook. His Royal Highness, who was accompanied by Earl Spencer, Lord Georgo Lennox, Gen. Wylde, Gen. Grey, and Capt. Du Plat, arrived at the asylum about six o'clock p.m., and was conducted by the committee and secretary into the dining hall, where the children — nearly GOO i n number— were about to take tea. The Prince walked between the various tables, nodding kindly on each side to the eager faces held up to him, and stopping for a few moments to notice a group of more than twenty infants, who were placed on the centre table. The Prince, after hearing the grace sung, minutely examined the various school-rooms, dormitories, and new chapel. He then visited the spot where he had laid the foundation stone of the building 20 years previ ously, which he viewed with much apparent interest. His Royal Highness afterwards took his leave amidst the deafening cheers of the children, who had by this time poured out from the hall and placed themselves in the car riage drive. An exciting scene ensued as they rushed across the grounds and round the banks of the lake, their 600 shrill voices ringing across the water, and unmistake ably showing their sense of the kind interest manifested by 'his Royal Highness in this gratifying visit.

William Atherton, a distinguished minister of the Wesleyan Methodist Connexion, who was sometime president of the conference. Sir William became Solicitor-General, and received knightho•d on the elevation of Sir Henry Keating to a puisne judgeship in the Court of Common Pleas. He has for some years past represented the City of Durham. SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES. —These unwel come claims form a sufficient reason for requiring a Budget always to show a surplus. Estimates have just been pre sented for £53,430 for the war with Russia, it being found that the sum surrendered to the Exchequer as " savings" out of the 'war vete was too large; and also for £17,983 for excess of expenditure last year beyond the vote for the 11011 effective eharges of the revenue departments. .NBWHARKET .RACES.—(This Day.)

RUFFIANLY CONDUCT AT A TAVERN.—Thomas Connor, a rough-looking fellow, was charged with the following violent conduct : John Miew, barman to Mrs. Butcher, licensed victualler, of 119, Tottenham-court-road, said that on Sunday night the prisoner came into the house and broke a glass and da maged the engine, and yesterday he came in about 10 o'clock and tried to jump over the counter. He was turned out, but came in again some hours after, turned on one of the taps, losing about a pint of liquor, and tried to jump over the counter. He tried to prevent him, when he seized a large water bottle and made a desperate blow at his head, but it fortunately missed it, and came down on the metal counter with such a force that it made a deep cut in it. On the way to the station he was very violent and kicked him. The witness was confirmed as to the prisoner's violence by the constable, who said the prisoner was drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt, ordered the prisoner to pay for the spirits, or be imprisoned for 14 days, and to pay 10s., or 14 days for the assault on the barman. ROBBERY AT A LICENSED VICTUALLER'S.—Ann Feasy, servant to Mr. Lathbury, of the Lamb, Hertford-street, Fitzroy-square, was charged with stealing money from the till of her master. It appeared that the prisoner was in the practice of watching the bar-men from the bar of a morning, and then taking the opportunity of purloining money from the till ; some money being at last marked and found on her. She had been for some time suspected, and the amount of money lost by Mr. Lathbury was not ascertained. Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prisoner pleading guilty, committed the prisoner for two months, with hard labour. THAMES. A SANGUINARY AFFRAY.—Jane Newton, a young woman, aged 21, of 5, John's-place, Baker-street, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting and wounding Daniel Mears, a seaman belonging to the naval reserve. The complainant appeared in court with his clothes stiffened with gore, and his head enveloped in surgical ban dages on which were inserted the words "London Hos pital." He said that he was "on the spree" this morning at an early hour, and went into John's-place with some companions, and gave the prisoner sixpence to obtain a pet of beer. She ran away with the money and was about to enter her dwelling when he followed her, and she struck him on the head with a poker and inflicted a terrible wound. He fell, and was insensible for some time after wards. He was carried to the London Hospital on a stretcher by the police, and his wound was dressed. Another man was also wounded. The prisoner said she a dealer in china, and worked hard for her living. She admitted using the poker in self defence. The prosecutor and others believing her to be a loose woman, like most of the inhabitants of John-place, played tricks with her, and endeavoured to force their way into her house. After a long investigation, in the course of which it was stated that the Royal Naval Reserve men •f the port of London were paid yesterday, and were "knocking about" the district all night in a drunken and riotous state, Mr. Selfe said the seaman had his head broken, and one of his mates wounded. He could hardly say they had not brought it upon themselves. They had no business in such an infamous locality as John's• place. The prisoner had better leave the house she was in, or she might be taken for a prostitute. All the parties were in the wrong. He hoped the prisoner would not use such a murderous weapon again. He discharged the prisoner. The prosecutor, who was in a deplorable condition, was sent back to the hospital. VHS DAY'S ShIPPING.

The Earl of WICKLOW presented a petition from Essex in favour of affording additional facilities for the education of Roman Catholic children in workhouses. THE DUKE OF MODENA.. The Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice that on Monday next he would draw the attention of the house to certain aspersions which were current relative to the Duke of Modena. These aspersions were stated in the House of Commons by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he was appealed to by certain :persons interesed in vindicating the character of the Duke of Modena to bring forward this subject. He would also move for the produc tion of any extracts from despatches forwarded from the accredited minister of this country in Central Italy. Lord BROUGHAM considered it would conduce more effectively to the vindication of the Duke of Modena if the subject were to be brought forward in the house when the alleged aspersions were made, and not when the right hon. gentleman who made them had no opportunity of defend ing himself. (Hear, hear.) The Marquis of NORMANBY made some explanation, which was inaudible. Earl GRANVILLE considered that the noble marquis was out of order. The Marquis of f NORMANBY stated that the opinions of the noble and learned lord (Lord Brougham) would have been entitled to some consideration if they were the same which he entertained 10 years ago. Lord BROUGHAM attempted to address the house, but the confusion arising from these irregular proceedings was so great that he could not be heard. The subject then dropped. SUBDIVISION OF DIOCESE BILL. Lord LYTTELTON moved that the house go into com mittee on this bill, and vindicated the measure from the objections raised to it by the Episcopal Church. The Bishop of LONDON bore testimony to the care which the noble lord bestowed on this bill, and the discus sion which had been elicited would produce good results, but that result was not embodied in this bill. He thought it would be more advisable to postpone the measure until next session, for there would be no chance at the period of the session being passed by the other house. The bill proposed to give powers to the Ecclesiastical Com mission to which he could not give his sanction, and, with all respect for that body, he thought the powers conferred on it were too extensive. He did not fear any thing from discussion in the other house, and he ad mitted that some improvements were introduced into he bill. He was, however, one of those who were opposed to the multiplication of bishops, and be strongly objected to the frequent interference with the governing powers of the Episcopate, and he referred to Winchester, London, and other great sees to show how efficiently their affairs were administered, and he could discover no advan tage in dividing such large sees. He thought, in proceed ing with this bill at present, they would be interfering with future useful legislation, and he drew atten tion to the fact that the bill was founded on the general recommendations of the commissioners, but on no particular recommendation. He considered that what was required was not to multiply the number engaged in the administration of the Church, but to increase its working power. He contended that the deans of the Church could be placed in a position of greater power, which would render them more efficient. What was required w is a reformation of the ecclesiastical law, in illustration of which he adverted to the length of proceedings in ecclesiastical trials. Lord OVERSTONE joined in the earnest request;which the right reverend prelate (the Bishop ofLondon) had made to withdraw the present bill. Lord LYTTLETON replied, and called the attention of their lordships to the ample discussion which the bill had received, and he declined to accede to the request of the right rev. prelate to withdraw it. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH defended the bill, and asserted that the discussions which had taken place on the subject proved that the general impression in Parliament was in favour of the bill. However, if there was an im pression on the mind of the noble lord (Lyttleton) that the bill would not pass the other house this session he thought he should not pledge the house to its provisions by pressing it forward on the present occasion. LLEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIs DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Metropolitan Railway (Improvements, &e.) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Glasgow (City) Life Assurance, &0., Company Bill was considered and ordered to be read a third time. PAROCHIAL AND BURGHS SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) No. 2 BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. A long discussion took place in reference to the maximum salary of schoolmasters. In the clause relating to the subject, the LORD ADVOCATE proposed that the maximum should be £6O. Mr. BOUVERIE moved, as an amendment, that the sum be fixed at £7O. The amendment was agreed to. Clause 3 was amended and agreed 13. Clause 4 was struck out. Clause 6 was agreed to, after it had been amended. Clause 6 was struck out. On clause 7, Mr. DUNLOP moved an amendment to the effect that two members of the examining body be Fellows of the Educational Institute of Scotland. The LORD ADVOCATE could not consent to the pro pc sod amendment. Mr. DUNLOP said perhaps the addition of the words " being graduates of the University" would remove the objection of the Lord Advocate. The LORD ADVOCATE said if the subject was post poned until the bringing up of the report, he would see what could be done towards admitting the practical teach ing element into the body of examiners. The suggestion having been agreed to, the amendment was withdrawn, At the end of the clause an amendment was proposed by Mr. Mum, that one of the members of the examining board be a Professor of Divinity, or a deputy nominated by him. The committee divided on the subject, when there ap peared— Ayes Noes Majority The clause was then ordered to stand part of the bill. Clause 8, as amended, was agreed to. On clause 9, Mr. BLACK moved that all the clause after the word " Scripture" be omitted from the bill. He had not been a party to the compromise that had taken place on this bill, and therefore he claimed th,e right to do as he pleased. He considered this to be the greatest point in the bill, and as he altogether objected to tests, he thought it unfair to press upon others. (Hear, hear.) Heconsidered the tests alto gether dangerous, and therefore he moved the omission of the words. The LORD ADVOCATE appealed to the hon. member to withdraw his amendment, as it might seriously endanger the bill. Several other members expressed their disapprobation of tests generally. Mr. BLACK said he was pleased that so many gentle men agreed with him, but he regretted they would not vote with him. Very unwillingly he would withdraw his amendment. The amendment was then, by leave, withdrawn. The LORD ADVOCATE proposed that the following declaration should be taken by schoolmasters previous to their entering office :—" That I will not exercise the func tions of the said office to the prejudice or subversion of the Church of Scotland as by law established, or the doctrines and privileges thereof." Mr. BLACK strongly objected to the amendment, and a discussion followed. The LORD ADVOCATE said he would rather give up the bill altogether than withdraw his amendment. The proposition was agreed to. The LORD ADVOCATE moved that at line 28, the dlowing addition be made to the clause :—" and the wilful contravention by any schoolmaster of the said declaration shall be considered and dealt with as neglect of duty under the provisions of the said recited act, provided always that it shall not be competent to insist in any pro ceedings against any schoolmaster for such contravention without the consent of her Majesty's Advocate being first obtained, on a representation to him by the heritors of the parish, and after such inq u i ry as h e may t hi n k necessary. " The proposition was objected to, and, after some conver sation, the Chairman, on the motionof the LORD ADVOCATE, reported progress. WHITE HERRING FISHERIES BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and in the course of the discussion the LORD ADVOCATE said it was the intention of the Government to appoint a commission to inquire into the whole subject. The whole of the clauses, after some amendments had been made, were agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be reported. The sitting was then suspended. The house resumed at six o'clock, and was [LIFT SITTING.] WOLVERHAMPTON ELECTION. (7his Day.) STATE OF THE POLL AT 1 O'CLOCK.
