010.NEY .2 1 1,18EE2' AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. There has been very little inquiry for money to day, and the rates have shown rather a downward tendency. About X 55,000 in bar gold and foreign coin was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The Alhambra has arrived from Lisbon with £ 1 ,668 in specie. In the foreign exchanges, yesterday afternoon,,a further slight upward tendency was generally ap parent. The specie movement during the week has been Of a less important character, the imports having only reached £122,000, while the exports have amounted to about £044,000. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a quiet demand was experienced, and 8,000 bales were sold, principally to the trade, at aboutformer PI ices. There is very little alteration to notice in the Market for Public Securities, Consols being 891 tl for money, and 90 4 for the account. Speculation is very dull, but there is still a disposition to effect sales rather than purchases, owing to the un favourable position of affairs in America. T he New 3 per Cents. and the kleduced Annuities have remained very dull, the former being dealt in at 89 to 89k, and Ihe latter at 894 to 891. The 5 per Cent.

Turkish Bonds, however, were flat; the Old 6 per Cents. having receded to 71 and 711 ; and,the Loan of 1858 to 551, being about 4 per cent. lower. The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been of a very limited character, and there has been no change of importance in prices. Great Northerns, Eastern Counties, Midlands, and North British have declined 55., and Edinburgh and Glas gow and Great Westerns have improved ss. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings the operations have also been of a restricted character. Great Luxembourg and Sambre and Meuse brought former rates ; Great Western of Canada have declined 55., East Indian 10s., and Great Indian Peninsula have improved 10s.

Farmer, -L yndhurst-villas, Peckham, requesting that the southern high level sewer works might be executed through his garden in tunnel. He stated that he h ad• purchased the property and had devoted a great Foal of time and money to laying out his garden, 14 Which were some mos t va l ua bl e trees, b ut if t hi s sewer was to pass through it by an open cutting,it 'Would be entirely destroyed. The ENGINEER said an inspection had taken place tithe property ; but, having regard to the progress c?i the works, he was not prepared to recommend that this work should be done in tunnel, as it Would lead to considerable delay. All that he could recommend was, that, as there were some lemon trees, the sewer passing under them should be done to tunnel, so that they might be preserved. There was a great deal of other property of a similar de scription along the line of sewer. INfr. PEW said he thought the board oug'ht to listen to the request of this gentleman, who had devoted a great deal of time in laying out his garden, and if it was much interfered with it !night entail sonic very serious charges on the board as compensation for the injury sustained. The ENGINEER said the contractor would be bound to reinstate the garden, but of course that could not be done in the present year. Mr. ROBINSON aeked the engineer how long Mr. Farmer had receiv e d not i ce that the sewer iiould. pass through his property. The ENGINEER said not more than two or three months. Mr. ROBINSON said they had a desire to benefit individuals as far as lay in their power, but they had a higher duty to the public. To accede to the re quest of this gentleman would lead to delay, which Lad been made a subject of reproach to the board, and they were bound to proceed with all possible "reed.. , Mr ' FREEMAN remarked that in many cases the y 'lad destroyed that which was a living to poor pera :',ens, and therefore they ought not to listen . to 'complaint of this nature, where the property inter ,,,red with was a gentleman's pleasure-garden, ; 'Lich could be restored, and if any damage was " ° ne, compensation would be fully made him. b Mr. CARPMAEL said it was the duty of the oard ° carry out these works, and not study individual I °terest s . They had a serious duty to perfom , a nd th ey would not be justified in postponing these DIFFANGER wanted to know the difference t une it would take to do the work in tunnel over Aen cuttin g , and what would be the difference in to / ', he ENGINEER said it would take twice as long tr ,„V the work, but he had not taken into consid torn the question of . expense. If the board were could to this application, there were many other se ns who were in a similar condition who to 4 11(1 . Come forward, and . of course that would lead I.l °us delay in their works, which, taken to lot• materially interfere with the time , I ,Te completion of the contract. he CHAIRMAN then put the question, and the a I . °nlin endation of the engineer was agreed to by ,er,ge majority. dhspos• ' l e other busi the ness board adjourned of a roun nure was then ~, or, a n d cU ACCOriC•I' t "ng to a letter from Rome, one of the etao f Fra nc i s 11 . i s a b out to b e b e t ro thed to one of the th4:Peror of Austria's brothers.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(Iho Day). NEWTON RACES.-FRIDAY. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) IN RE RAMSAY'S SETTLEMENTS-JUDGMENT. His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—This was a settlement made on the marriage of Sir Thomas and Lady Ramsay, by which a charge of £5,000 was created on his estate, for certain purposes for his use, and to the children of the marriage, whom failing, with power of appointment in favour of Lady Ih.msay's children by a former marriage with Mr. Chisholm. This power of appointment had been introduced by mistake, and Sir Thomas renounced it. The money was invested in the purchase of Three per Cent. Consols. In October, 1859, Lady Ramsay died without issue of this marriage, and by this deed the funds became devisable among the children of the first marriage, and the question to be determined is the rate of duty to be paid on the succession. If the right to the fund in question was in, and derived from, Sir Thomas the rate of duty payable to the Crown would be 10 per cent., but if the right was in Lady Ramsay the rate would be only 1 per cent. His Honour was of opinion that, as the power of appointment had been in Sir Thomas, the children of the first marriage took as strangers, and therefore the rate of duty under the Legacy Duty Acts was 10 per cent., and declared accordingly, without costs. COATES V. TILE NOTTINGHAM WATERWORKS-JUDGMENT. The Master of the Rolls said—The question to be decided depends on the construction to be put on two Acts of Par liament, of the old and new water works. And the question raised is, at what state of surplus profits will the share holders be entitled to receive dividends of ten and five per cent. on their shares ? The Master of the Rolls on con sidering the terms of the old Act, 1824, and the new Act, 1854, was of opinion that the surplus profits of the company must rise to such an extent as to entitle the shareholders un der the old Act to a dividend of 10 per cent. And also to such an amount as will entitle the shareholders, under the new act, to a dividend of 5 per cent. That the shareholders, under the new act, are not entitled to a dividend until Ile surplus profits enable the company to pay a dividend of 10 and 5 per cent. All the shareholders are treated under these acts with perfect equality. His Honour declared ac cordingly, with costs, except costs to two of the share holders. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—(This Day.) BOW-STREET. POST -OFFICE ROBBERY.—Henry Locke, a letter-carrier and sorter in the General Post •office, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a letter, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster-General.

It was addressed "Master Godwin, Glebe House Academy, Acton." It was posted at the Vere-street office yesterday. Witness went to the office shortly afterwards, and the prisoner was brought before him and a constable was called in and searched the prisoner. In his waistcoat was found two half sovereigns, and in another pocket a bock containing five shillings in silver and 25 postage stamps. The prisoner on being asked to explain the possession of the money said it was hip own and that he had had it about a fortnight. The two half sovereigns on being examined were found to be those inclosed in tke test letter, anC prisoner was informed of the fact, and then asked to explain how he became possessed of them. He said they were his own, and also that he knew nothing about them being enclosed in a letter addressed t) Mr. " Godwin, Acton." Twelve of the postage stamps found on him were also identified as being those enclosed in the stolen letter with the two half sovereigns. He said he lad bought them, but he did not say where. Mr. Clare, inspector of letter-carriers at be General Post office, said the prisoner was a sorter in tie General Post,- office.

Betting-5 to 2on Nutbush, and sto 1 agst any other. Nutbush made the whole of the running, and won in a canter by two lengths. Harriet was a bad third. The Selling Handicap of 3 sous each, with 30 added. One Mile and a quarter. Mr. Wadlow's Medora, 3 yrs, Bst (H. Grimshaw) 1 Mr. Osborne's Weasel, 5 yrs, Bst 71b (J. 0 sborne) 2 Mr. Osborne's V.

R. The latter, with Twinkle and Sister to Horace in attendance, made the running to the back side, where Weasel went to the front, and main tained his advantage to the distance. Medora, who ran through her horses in going up the hill and ran on second, then headed him, and won easily by a length. V. R. was bought in for 64 guineas. The South Lancashire Tradesmen's Plate of 100 sous, added to a handicap stakes of 5 sous each. Once round. About one mile two furlongs. Mr. Godding's Pastime, 4 yrs, Bst (inc 71b ext) (Bullock) 1 Mr. Logan's Lustre, 5 yrs, 7st 71b (inc Sib ext) (Gardiner) 2 Mr. Harrison's Lady Ripon, 3 yrs, Tat 21b.. ..

Betting-9 to 4 agst Sutton, 3to 1 agst Lady Ripon, 4 to 1 agst Lustre, 6 to 1 agst Duneany, and 8 to 1 agst Pastime. Sutton was very restive previous to starting, and lashing out he struck Lady Ripon over the flank, luckily without inflicting much injury. The moment the flag fell Lady Ripon jumped off with a clear lead, which she maintained to the distance, followed by Hellenus and Lustre, Sutton, who ran very unkind all along the back side, lying next, whilst Duueany and Pastime brought up the rear. Lustre fairly headed Lady Ripon inside the distance, and appeared to have the race in hand, when Pastime, upon whom Bullock waited to the last, came up next the rails, and challenging the leader, got her head in front in the last few strides, and won a magnificent race by a head ; and a head only separated Lustre and Lady Ripon. Dun.eany, who was outpaced until entering the straight, ran through his horses at the last, and finished a bad fourth Teddington filly was fifth, and Sutton sixth. The Lyme Park Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 50 added, for two-year-olds. About five furlongs. Mr. Osborne's North Pole, Bst 101 b (J. Osborne) 1 Captain Christie's Antares, Sat 101 b.... (H.

Antares, followed by North Pole and Discretion, made play up the hill, when Discretion fell back a little, and the other pair went on a length or two in advance of her. Within the distance North Pole and Discretion made their efforts, but the latter, falling back beaten in a few strides, the issue was left to North Pole and Antares, who ran a close race home, the fiat being in favour of North Pole by a short head. Discretion finished third, three lengths off : and the Fortuna filly was a worse fourth. The Scurry Stakes (handicap) of 3 sovs each, with 30 added. About a mile and a quarter. Mr. Hope's Chirper, 4 yrs, Bst 21b (Custance) 1 Mr. Harland's Maid of the Mist, 5 yrs, Bst 71b (J. Osborne) 2 Mr. Phillips's Deserter, 3 yrs, 7st 61b.... (H. Grimshaw) 3 Twinkle, filly by Teddington, and Kitty also ran. Betting-5 to 4on Deserter, 9to 4 agst Maid of the Mist, and 6to 1 agst any other (offered). Deserter made the running to the distance, where Maid of the Mist headed him, and appeared to be winning in a canter, when Cus. tance came up, and catching Maid of the Mist on the post, won by a short head. Deserter was a bad third. Cantiniore, the winner of the Golborne Park Stakes, at Newton, on Wednesday, has left Mr. Naylor's private training establishment, and gone to Godding's stable, al Newmarket, where she will in future be prepared for her engagements.

ROBBERY BY A RETURNED CONVICT.—John Ingram, who gave the address 10, Pye-street, Westminster, was charged with stealinx a silver coffee-pot from 11, Bolton row, the property of Mrs. Susannah Cookney, a widow lady. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. John Collins, footman to Mrs. Cookney, sail—While in the watercloset in the front area yesterday morning I heard a noise, and on looking through some holes in the door I saw the prisoner wrapping something up in his handker chief. I hastened up the steps after the prisoner, who ran round the corner past the ahoy, of Mr. Bruce, cheesemonger. On getting near the prisoner he turned round, and I said " You've taken some property from my employer's." I then took him back, and sent for a constable, and while the person was gone prisoner said "There's no use in keeping me exposed." I then asked him where he put the coffee pot; and he took me to Mr. Druce's shop, and, looking in at the door, said " Oh, it's gone from where I placed it." Prisoner then said if I went to Westminster with him he would redeem it and pay all expenses. I then gave pri soner into custody, and the coffee-pot has not been found. Elliott, 43 C, said—l took prisoner into custody and wish for a re man d. I n t h e prisoner's pocket was found a knife and two sk e l e t on k eys. I find the prisoner has been twice convicted, a n d h ave every reason to believe he is a returned convict. The prisoner was remanded till Friday next. THE LATE FIGHT FOR THE cHA 11PIONVIIP. (From Bell's Life.) From the very first it was clear that Hurst ought not to have been allowed to en t er the ring—his preparation had andt try been manifestly insuff ic i ent, and the state of his game leg walk stick , taken off was was such as completely t o d eprive him of all activity. Both he and Hodgkiss have assured us th a t un til s i x wee k s b ac k b never was able to do sufficient work to remove any of his a dones h e could by the h e Turkish Bath. He did not fe e l nearly up to the mark, an d recommended his friend s not to risk any more of their money upon him ; and this doubtless is the reaso n why the invest ments ware so slight. Set ting aside his want of conditi on , ho w e v er , it was more superfluous had tow f l at k . with a What was that than ever manifest that h e i s no t cu t ou t J for a fighting man. Ho has no kncwledge of the art of self-defence, cannot hit straight from the shoulder, and it is obvious that a man of his build and gait—even when en dowed with the extraordinary powers he displayed as a re ceiver—cannot hop© to contend with success against extra • ordinary cleverness and activity, even though possessed by a man of far lighter calibre than himself. From his slow ness on his legs he was never able to get sufficient hold of his antagonist to do any good, so the: even the only ac quirement of a pugilist with which he is suppo se d t o b e endowed was utterly useless to . him ; it fact, so littl e was h e able to wrestle that on one occasion was a question whether Join did not actually throw him. No ore can blame him for aiming at the Champion's Belt, and the only fault we have to find is with his backers for not putting an end to what cannot be called a contest, but merely an exhibition of endurance. True, the gallant fellow vas himself averse to giving in ; but his opinion should no: have been taken. He owns that after the second round he was quite bewil dered, and, therefore, we do not consider he was a f ree agent. He is a remarkably straightforvard fellow, and from the first it was clear he had the interests of his friends more at heart than his own, and the greatest credit is due to him for his manly perseverance. Owing to his persua sion, his backers and friends are not great osers, and there fore can the more easily reward bin for his ex ertions in their behalf. By the public, too, and the winners, we trust, he will not be forgotten. Mnay friends have already paid for his colours. He called at our office on Thursday morning to deliver up the Champion's belt, and although he was a good deal bruised about the eyes and nose, he had got completely over any serious injuries. His appearance was a complete contradiction to the deliberate falsehoods which appeared in several Papers on Thursday and Friday morning, to the effect that the bones of his face had been fractured so frightfully that he was not expected to survive. These accounts, we presume, were got up b y s o me inventive penny-a - liner, in order to show that he was acquainted with the anatomy of the human frame (attained no doubt by the study of the skull of a d e f unct monkey), and, perhaps, also with a view to inc rease t h e outcries against the Ring which certain parties know so 'well how to create and foment, The statement, untrue as it was created all sorts of painful rumours, which with the greatest difficulty were allayed. It is announced as official at Madrid that the Emperor of the French and the Queen of Spain are shortly to have an interview in the Basque provinces. The Empress Eugenie also is expected on a visit to Spain, NEWPORT.

The boiler was one of three, con structed upon the Cornish principle, and placed side by side, at one end of the works and close to the pattern dyehouse. The boilers were used for the purpose of sup plying steam to the vessels in this part of the dyehouse. The destruction of property was very great. The boiler itself was torn from its seat. A great portion of it was carried a distance of twenty yards, and quantities of the bricks and other debris were scattered in all directions. • The roof of the firing-up house was blown off, and the partition wall and part of the roof of the dyehouse ad joining were also blown down. One large stone was carried a considerable distance and dropped through the roof of the house of Mr. Wilson Sutcliffe , the fo r manorrThe Mcssrs Ripley and Son, the owners of the wo rks. stoker had fortunately left the boiler-house at th e of explosion.

A writer in a contemporary says :—lt is notorious that a great number of desertions take place annually from the regiments stationed in British North America, which is supposed to arise principally from the monotony of a soldier's life, and the prospect held out to soldiers of being highly remunerated for their labour in the United States. To be well paid, however, they must work hard ; consequently, over and over again deserters repent having deserted, and would return to their regi ments were they not prevented doing so by the fear of undergoing severe punishment. If the Government, theretbre, were to allow soldiers stationed in British North America, under certain well-considered regulations, to find work for themselves by turns within a short distance of the head-quarters of their respective regiments— when not required for military duties of import ance—l will venture to predict that desertion would, comparatively speaking, altogether cease. Soldiers, moreover, thus employed, would b e always ready to rejoin their colours on the shortest notice. Many years ago I was assured by Mr. Belcher, now no more, who, in the beginning of the present century, was a merchant at Halifax, in Nova Scotia, and at the same time a member of the Legislative Council of the Province, that he himself had at that period many soldiers in his employment, as also had other merchants in their employment, and that desertions were then of very rare occurrence, probably owing to that system. A reference to the Nova Scotian records of that period would prove this to have been the fact, and such a good example might now be safely followed throughout British North America. Allow me to add that every soldier thoroughly drilled, and otherwise instructed in his various military duties, would become more efficient as a soldier in the field, were he allowed occasionally to work at his trade, than if compelled to pass a m e .. notonous life in a barrack-yard, open to the con stant temptation—rarely resisted—of injuring his health by resorting, during his leisure hours, to the canteen or the public-house. It should also be observed that such a plan would be an economical one, irrespective of its checking desertion, as it would enable the Govern ment, by stopping a soldier's pay when. not doing duty with his regiment, to have a greater number of soldiers in British North America ready for any emergency than the Government can have for the same amount of money expended under the actual system. Moreover, many soldiers on their dis charge might become permanent settlers in those colonies ; and, as militiamen, assist in drilling their comrades. " TEE MIRES CASE. This affair, came on again on Thursday before the Correctional Tribunal, M. Solar being in default. M. Marie, in the absence of M, Mathieu, the counsel for M. Mires, applied for a further postponement of the hearing for a week, on the ground that the investigation into th e accounts, a l though followed up with unceasing perseverance, was so difficult that it had been found impossible to bring it to a close. M. Mires requested permission to say a few words in support of the application for a further delay. He had been taken,:he said, to his office, but on condition that he should be under the surveil lance of two police agents. He was to work and. make his researches under the eyes of those agents. He had refused to do so, because in the examination of his papers and books he required all his coolness and presence of mind, without hav ing his attention distracted by the presence of other persons. A long negotiation had ensued, and it was at length agreed that the presence of the agents should be dispensed with, provided he was attended by an advocate. That pause in the affair had impeded the examination and caused the loss of time which had rendered a further delay necessary. Mires, afterwards, in reply to a question from the President as to whether all the communications he desired h 4 not been granted, replied that the further delay ap plied for was solely caused by the difficulties thrown in the way of his preparing his defence. M. 6enart stated that every proper accommodation bad been. granted, but that when M. Mires had gone to his office, accompanied by proper agents, he insisted on turning them out of the room. That pretention, with the responsibility weighing on them, they very properly resisted, on which the prisoner got into a passion, saying that he would not work under the eyes of the police. In presence of that refusal, Mr. Mires was taken back to prison. An application on the matter was made to the Prefect of Police, and it was at length decided that he should be allowed to make the researches he required, attended only by an advocate. M. Senart further declared that every possible facility had been given to the prisoner, and that he could not understand the persistence of M. Mires in making such unmerited reproaches against the judicial authorities, and occupying the court with matters purely personal. M. Marie next gave an account of what had been related to him by the advocate in question. That gentleman had told him :—" We were occupied at the office, when, hearing a noise at the door, we went to see what it was, and found some police agents outside. The circumstance annoyed us, and we declared that we should not remain if agents continued to watch us. I declare," added M. Marie, " that under such cir cumstances I should have acted in the same way, for the advocate ought to know how to make his dignity respected. The President then declared the incident to be at an end, and ordered the names of the witnesses to be called over. Fifty-two were then called on in the usual way, and ordered to attend without further summons on that day week. On Tuesday last the patent for re-constituting the Board of Admiralty was formally produced, and the new itembers " read " themselves in. Vice-Admiral the lion Sir Frederick Grey will take possession of the house formerly occupied by the late Rear-Admiral the Hon. F. T. Pelham in the Admiralty Yard, as soon as it can be got ready for his reception.—Army and Navy Gazette. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON:DAN NORTH -WESTERN RAILWAY.—An inquiry was resumed before Mr. W. S. Poole, coroner, at Kenilworth, yesterday, touching the death of the two men who were killed by an accident, the immediate cause of which was the giving way of a bridge on the London and North-Western Railway, not far from the above town, and this was pretty generally attributed to the inadequacy of this bridge to carry the heavy engines now in use. The jury returned a verdict to the effect, that the deceased were killed on the 11 th aw flaw, eight anth(lowuagsh ofa defective binrg"witheb y thec a s t af i n a l ofl ; girderan that e n t h g whichi e n y e containedfoofu 3 n o d th n n o s one criminally re sponsible for the defect, but that Mr. Sewell, of Coventry, had not performed his duty as inspector ; and that Mr. Woodhouse, of Stafford, engineer for this district, ought not to have overlooked the fact that the girders of the bridge were insufficient to bear the increased weight of the engines now in use. The verdict was accompanied by a recommen dation for a better system of inspection on the line, and Mr. Carter, on the part of the company, said he had no doubt that would be carried into effect. A VOLUNTEER FINED.-Yesterday, at the Man. cheater Police-court, Thomas Marsland was summoned for non-payment of 265., the amount due for his subscription to the 28th Lancashire Rifle Volunteers. The defendant did not appear. Captain Scott pressed for the infliction of the full penalty of double the amount of subscription, feel ing assured that it would have a beneficial effect on others who neglected to contribute to the funds of the regiment. The idea existed that these contributions were not recover able, and it was desirable that it should be known that the law under which the volunteers are constituted expressly provided for these cases. The magistrate inflicted a penalty of double the amount sued for.
