.310NEY MARKET AIVD CITY irE Tvs. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Some important changes are shown in the Bank of England return completed to the 15th inst. The bullion has been diminished by nearly half a million sterling owing to the remittances to America. The reserve of notes has also been reduced to a consider able extent. The increased demand for money is shown in the large augmentation in the other securities, which exceeds half a million sterling. The public deposits have been largely increased, While there is a diminution in the private balances. One of the chief features,:however, is a considerable decrease in the Government securities. The other items of the balance-sheet and the changes they present are shown in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. .. .. £20,042,790 Decrease .. .. .. 131,895 Stock of Bullion .., .. .. 12,382,446 Decrease .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 491,173 nest 3, 261,606 ..

At the half-yearly meeting of the Intercolonial Royal Mail Steam Packet Company a dividend was agreed to at the rate of 71- per cent. for the six months ending 31st Dec. last. On Monday, the 20th inst., a call of X 1 per share, amounting to £165,000, becomes due on the Lon don; Ohatham, and Dover Railway Shares (Metro politan Extension). A general advance took :place in the Foreign Exc hanger yesterday afternoon. Mere was rather more activity in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were without alteration. The sales were about 8,000 bales. The Market for Public Securities has been very quiet to-day, and the quotations have not shown any change of importance, Consols being 911 -a for money and 911 for the account. The New Threes and the Reduced are flat at 891 d ; Bank Stock has improved to 2331 ; India 5 per Cent. loan is steady at 101 t ; and Exchequer Bills are at 6.5. to 3s. dis. A fair amount of business has been recorded in Foreign Securities, but prices generally have de clined. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 701 711; ditto 1858, 551 to 56; Mexican have receded to 221 i; Spanish to 504; Dutch 4 per Cents. to 9917 Rus sian 41 per Cents. to 91; Portuguese to 478 ; and Venezuelan to 1917 but Sardinian are firm at Sit, 82. The following communication was issued yester day, :•—" The Committee of Mexican Bondholders aae this afternoon received advices from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 18th ult. On the 4 th the Ministry was dissolved, including not only t he Minister of Finance, Senor Prieto, but also his Dn der-Secretary, Senor Iglesias. Senor Mate, ..'who had left the city on his way to England, Ilan been named for this office, but it is not "Pected that he will accept it. In the mean 'While this, of course, puts a atop to all pro gress in the matters Mr. Whitehead was treat ing about. The Congress ought to be installed on the 21st of April, but this will depend on circum stances. The agents in Tampico report, under date 'of April the 2d, that, in spite of Captain Aldham's convention, they have no prospect of receiving a single dollar, unless one of our ships be sent to that port, and from none of the other ports of the Republic had Mr. Whitehead received advices of anything having as yet been received for the divi dend fund. Mr. Whitehead had addressed Mr. Mathew en the subject, but his answer was very far from encouraging." A very limited amount of business has been transacted to-day in the Railway Share Market, but a slight advance has taken place in prices. Midlands and North Eastern (Berwicks) have im proved 55.; Bristol and Exeter and North Westerns, 10s. South Easterns declined ss. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings were almost neglected. San Paulo realised 2! ; and Great Indian Peninsula, 97 to 97k. In Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there has been a very limited inquiry, with out any material change to record in prices. New South Wales realised 341; London Joint Stock, 311 ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 721 ; and Royal Mail Steam, 471 47-1. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

ROBBING AN EMPLOYER.—John Lee was placed at the bar charged with robbing his employer, Mr. Humphries. The prosecutor said he carried on business as a shell-fish monger, at 26, Charing-cross, and doubting the honesty of the prisoner, he caused a person io enter the shop this morning, for the purpose of purchasing four dozen oysters. The prisoner received two shillings for the oysters and a penny for the basket, but on Mr. Knight first seeing the man this morning he said he had sold but two dozen of oysters, for which he had received one shilling and a penny. William Adams said• he was engaged to make the pur chase, and gave the prisoner two shillings for four dozen oysters. Prisoner—l never sold you more than two dozen. Witness—Are you sure of that ? Prisoner—Yes, certain. Witness—Why, I have three dozen and a-half of them at home, which I can produce. The prosecutor said the dishonesty of the prisoner was not confined to the present charge. If time was allowed him he would prove other thefts against him. Mr. Corrie remanded the prisoner for a week. ROBBERY E Y MARINE.—Peter Harley was placed at the bar on remand charged with stealing a purse con taining I4s. Mrs. Grey said the prisoner had, through the kindness of her husband, been stopping at their house for a short time, and was treated very kindly. A morning or two ago she had occasion to take out her purse to pay for something, and instead of putting it in her pocket, she must have laid it on the table. In a, short time, not finding it in her pocket, she began to seach for it, and not succeeding in finding it suspicion fell on the prisoner, who had suddenly left the house. City Police-constable, 353, said he apprehended the pri soner riding in a Hansom cab smoking a cigar. He found the prosecutrix's purse on his person with 14s. in it. The magistrate asked what sort of a character the pri soner possessed ? The sergeant in attendance said he only enlisted in February this year, and had committed himself in that time, three times. The magistrate they take him back to the regi ment if he is committed on this charge ? The sergeant said he would have to take his:trial by court martial for the loss of his necessaries. The magistrate—ls he not a deserter ? Sergeant—A man is not termed a deserter until after an absence of twenty-one days. The prisoner is put down as absent from barracks without leave. He is also advertised as "run., On being asked what he had to say, the prisoner replied in a careless manner that he took ?he money and intended to spend it. The magistrate said it was a very ungrateful proceeding, and he should send him to prison for two months. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBING THE HON. MRS. VILLIERS.—DETERMINED PyßSUlT.—Patrick Cailigan, no home, saddler, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a table cover, the pro perty of the Hon. Mrs. Villiers, wife of the Bishop of Durham, of 1, Ennismore - place,Knightsbridge, from a eab while in Oxford-street. Mr. Alexander Douglas, in the foreign department of the Post-office, and residing at ii, Great-turnstile, said that while passing through the previous afternoon in the direc- tion of the Marble-arch he observed the prisoner looking suspiciously in a cab drawn up in front of a house. He turned sharply round and saw the prisoner draw a parcel from the cab and then ran away. He pursued the prisoner some distance, being determined not to let him escape, and while doing so the prisoner threw the parcel away. He (Mr. Douglas) picked it up, and again started off with the cry of "Stop thief," and the prisoner was ultimately taken into custody. The Hon. Mrs. Villiers not being in attendance, Mr Brown, from Messrs. Harvey, Nicholl, and Co.'s, 2 and 3, Lowndes-terrace, proved selling that lady a table-cover, which he believed to be the same, on the previous di y, and that it was taken away in the cab. Daniel Morgan, cabman, badge 1,285, proved taking up two ladies, one of whom had the parcel produced, ix Knightsbridge, and setting them down at Kelly's, house agent, in Oxford-street. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was remanded, Mr, Tyrwhitt stating that the owner of the table-cover ought to feel grateful for Mr. Douglas's exertions. TilE EARTHQUAKE AT MENDOZA. FIFTEEN THOUSAND LIVES LOST. We have now received full information of the total destruction, on March 20, by earthquake, of one, if not three, populous cities of the Argentine republic—namely, Mendoza, San Juan, and San Luis. The former has certainly been destroyed, and very few of its population of 15,000 souls have escaped to tell the fearful tale. The news was sent by telegraph to Valparaiso, and was confirmed by the subsequent arrival of a mail courier from the ruined city. The latter stated that he arrived at Mendoza on the morning of the 20th ; that at half-past eight p.m. a brief but excessively violent shock of earth quake, lasting but six or eight seconds, destroyed every building, public and p r i va t e , i n the city, and that the number who were enabled to escape was very limited. The streets being narrow, the build ings high, and the inhabitants totally unused to such 'phenomena, were paralysed with terror, and neglected to seek refuge in the open courts of their dwellings until too late. The postmaster was buried beneath the ruins of the post-office ; the governor was missing ; and when asked why he brought no certificate that the mails were lost, the messenger replied, " There was no one left to write it, nor materials to write with." The aspect presented by the city after the first shock was terrific. Hoarse subterranean thunders deafened the ear, animals of all kinds rushed franti cally through the open spaces howling, the earth opened andvomited forth floods of water, while to crown the scenes of horror, flames burst from the ruins and consumed nearly the entire business por , with its dead, it s d y i ng , an d i ts w tio o n un o d f ed th . e city On the 28th a number of letters were received at Va!paraiso and at Santiago, by relatives and friends of Chileans residing in Mendoza, but the hope until then entertained, that the earlier accounts were exaggerated, soon gave way to the dreadful cer tainty that the calamity had not yet been painted in colours sufficiently vivid. The earth still con tinued to tremble, the few walls that had resisted the first shock one by one fell, until now no vestige of a building remains. The mountain roads are in a most dangerous condition, not only on account of the huge masses of rock that have already fallen and obstructed the road, but because the vibration of the earth is still hurling them down from the heights above into the valleys. The gauches or natives of the surrounding country, hastened to the spot, not to assist the needy or aid in rescuing the wounded from a lingering death, but to seek for plunder among the smoking ruins, and to snatch thelittlesaved from the wretched sur vivors. One gentleman writing from thence, after describing these horrors, says :—" I believe that in a few days we shall have no other law here than that of the poignard." The prison was destroyed : out of 100 inmates 92 perished. The remaining eight, who were already hardened villains, formed themselves into a band of freebooters, and had gone, it was supposed, to the mountain passes to intercept and rob the parties sent from Chili for the relief of the sufferers. One woman was found robbed and murdered by the roadside. She was recognised as one who was on her way to Mendoza to see her fam4. They, too, had all perished on the 20th, In the Jesuit church there was preaching that night. The services had just concluded, and the congregation was about dispersing when the shock came. The few who had reached the plaza were saved, but the walls and roof of the building fell inward with a crash, and priest and penitent together were hurried . into eternity. The latest advices from Mendoza represent the suffering to be extreme, there being neither food, clothing, nor shelter for the survivors, everything being buried beneath the ruins. They also state that San Juan and San Luis, two other populous cities of the confederation, have shared a like'fate, the San Juan river having after the shock left its bed and swept over the town, utterly destroying what the earthquake had spared. This news is not, however, fully confirmed. As news was rendered beyond in dividuals vied with one another i n energet i c e ff orts so q o u n es a ti s on the , thdeis Governmentastrou and private s to send immediate relief to their suffering brethren. Without waiting for the completion of the work, on the 30th a party of physicians and others left for the scene of the disaster, bearing medicines, food, and clothing, and accompanied by a small body of troops. The gloom and terror spread throughout the re public of Chili by this awful calamity may be ima gined. " Situated upon an eminently volcanic region," says a letter from Valparaiso, " we have constant evidence of the insecurity of our tenure of existence. Separated but by a chain of mountains from the scene of destruction, and taught by sad experience the frightful and irresistible force of the unheralded earth-storm, we retire each night with a feeling of terrible insecurity. The coast has been frequently visited in past years by earth quakes. Chillan has been twice destroyed; Con ception once ; while Valparaiso, Santiago, and Copiapo have suffered severely. No amount of human foresight, no precaution, avails against the mysterious visitor, who comes at dawn, at noonday, or at midnight, and, in a few seconds, levels to the ground the proudest monuments of hunm SP °RUN G INTELLIGENCE.

Lord Sidney Godolphin Osborne, of Bartrams, Hampstead, Middlesex, were proved in her Ma jesty's Court of Probate on the 2d inst., by the executors, Sir Edward Dundas, Bart., of Beech wood, Midlothian, N.B. ; Capt. Frederick Paget, Coldstream Guards; and Capt. G. J. W. Melville, Coldstream Guards, the testator's nephew. The personal property was sworn under £200,000. The will bears date Sept. 11, 1845, the codicils 1847 and 1849. The large fortune of which the testator died possessed, consisting both of realty and per sonalty, he has bequeathed. to his brother, Lord Godolphin ; a portion of it in trust during his life, and upon his decease to pass to his children. The testator also gives to his brother the residue of his estates and property absolutely. These bequests to his brother are subject to the payment of various legacies to friends, his executors, his ser vants, and others. We must not omit to mention that the testator, Lord Osborne, died a bachelor, at the age of seventy one. The will of Lieutenant-Colonel Duncan M‘Pher son, of Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square, was proved in London on the 27th ult., by the execu tors therein nominated, being his relict, together with the testator's brother, George Gordon M.Pher son, Esq., and his nephew, Berkley Augustus M'Pherson, Esq. The will b ears d a t e i n 18 5 7 , an d the Colonel died at Boulogne on the Gth February last. The testator bequeaths all his property, real and personal, in trust for the benefit of his widow during her life, subject to the contingency of their two daughters marrying in the lifetime of their mother; should this event occur, the daughters are to receive a fourth each of the entire property, and these ladies will also ultimately, on the decease of the widow, take the residue. The will of John Clarke, Esq., Beaufoy-terrace, Nlaida Vale, was proved in the London Court on the 26th of last month by Henry R. Mark, Esq., of Highbury-crescent, and James Searle, Esq., of Bar tholomew-lane, the executors. The personalty was sworn at £16,000. Mr. Clarke died on the 23d of February last, and his will bears date the 9th of October, 1858. This gentleman has left his pro perty principally to public charities and institu tions. He airects the realty to be sold, which, to gether with the personalty, is to be applied to the payment of all the various bequests. Mr. Clarke possessed feelings of philanthropy rarely, if ever, surpassed, as we may almost say the whole of his property, with a few exceptions, is devoted to cha ritable purposes. We give the list of the charities referred to :—To the British and Foreign Bible Society, the Church Missionary Society, and the London City Missions, immediate legacies of £5OO to each. The Religious Tract Society, the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, St. George's-fields, and the Bishop for the time being of Rupertsland for the missions there, £250 each. To the Scripture Readers and the Moravian Mission Societies, £2OO each ; and a like bequest of £2OO to each of the following hospitals : Charing-cross, King's College, St. Mark's, St. George's, St. Mary's, and the Gray's Inn -road Free Hospital; added to which the sum of £lOO is directed to be laid out in aid of local charities in connexion with St. Paul's Chapel, Kilburn. The residue of the property is also given amongst the four first-enumerated charities and the two executors in six equal proportions. This philanthropic gentle man has most generously directed that all his be quests of every kind are to be paid free of legacy duty. The will of Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Wm. Pasley, K.C.B , Hon. D.C.L., was proved in London on the 9th inst. This distinguished officer belonged to that scientific branch of the army, the Royal En gineers, and passed a long life in the discharge of his military duties, and held the appointment of In spector-General of Railways. The General's will bears date Nov. 8, 1856, and the executors nomi nated are his sons, Captains Charles Pasley, and George M. Pasley, R.A., and his son-in-law, Captain H. W. Taylor, R.E. The personalty was sworn under £12,000. General Sir Charles Pasley's will is strictly a family one. He has left his pro perty, real and personal, together with investments in railway shares and property in India, to his two sons and daughters, the wife of Capt. Taylor. There is an exception in favour of his eldest son, to whom the General has left his plate bearing the family arms, books, &c., together with a gold snuff-box presented to the testator by the Corporation of the City of 'London in 1838 for his valuable services in blowing up and removing the wrecks of two vessels which obstructed the navigation of the River Thames. This gallant General died at his residence, Norfolk-crescent, Hyde park, on the 16th February last, at the advanced age of 81. The will and two codicils of Ralph Lindsay, Esq., M.A., of Durham Lodge, Norwood, was proved in London on the ult.,2sth of by the Pirton,Rev. Ralph Lindsay Loughborough, vicar Herts, the testator's nephew, and William Elliott Duncan, Esq., solicitor, London, the executors. This gentleman is of ancient descent. He died possessed of real and personal property, together with Church livings, which he bequeathed in the following manner : To his nephew, the Rev. R. L. Loughborough, he leaves the presentation of the livings of Braintree, Essex, and of Pirton and Ickleford, in Herts, together with his copyhold estates situate at Kennington. This gentleman also takes a fourth part of the residue of the whole of the testator's estate, to whom he has left exclusively his carriages, horses, &c. To his nephew, T. Lindsay, resident in New South Wales he bequeaths also a fourth of the residue of his estate. To his niece, Jane Spink, who resided with the testator, he also leaves a fourth of the residue together with his furniture, library, and other effects. To his niece, Isabella Jane Duncan, wife of W. E. Duncan, Esq., the testator's executor, he leaves theremaining fourth of the residue, bequeath lug to the latter his law library. There are legacies to his servants, and an annuity of £25 to his late coachman. The will of Sir William. Burnett, K.C.8., M.D., F.R.S., dated December 7, 1859, was proved in the London Court on the 10th inst. by his son, Rev. W. Burnett, M.A., rector of Tangmere, Sussex, one of the executors ; a power being reserved to the tes tator's dalsghter, Mrs. Notts, widow, the other exe cutor. This gallant and esteemed gentleman was well known, but especially to his naval brethren. Sir William had passed a long life in the naval s . er• vice, was present at the b a ttl es o f St. Vi nce nt,Nile and Trafalgar, and for the se an d o th er service s _ai s, wes created K.C.8., and recei ve d f our war m e dals, be came physician to Willi am IV., an d medical de• was appointed Director-General ofu the r nett has left all partment of the navy.

Also 71 sailing vessels, with 1,477 , TH3 AREAT ;.:_lT_' c; l'A (LIND E D.) A special general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, yesterday, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present state of the affairs of the company, and generally on the course to be adopted with respect thereto. Mr. Baker occupied the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the presence of so many persons that day showed that there was no neces• sity to apologise for calling this meeting. Since the last meeting they had to encounter almost insur mountable difficulties, and they had secured some confidence in the ship, for they had been able to in sure the ship at the ordinary premium. When they had got over many of their difficulties they were thrust into others by the decision of the Court of Com mon Pleas. They had arranged that the ship should sail on the day for which it was advertised, and all Was goin g on smoot hl y to t h at end when the deci sion it out. dow n on th em , an d prevented the carry ing out. This caused the company considerable loss, from several persons who had already taken their passa ge d eclining to go in the ship. The di rectors had felt i t their duty, and there was no doubt it was so, to persevere in these legal pro ceedings. He then quoted the judgment of the judges of the Court of Que en ' s Bench. He thought, after such a decision, they would acquit the direc tors of any improper conduct in questioning the award ; and the decision of the Court of Common Pleas on the cross-actions, which we re subsequently . brought, placed the company the most difficult position ; they were placed entirely at Mr. Russell's mercy, and he showed every desire not to increa se their difficulties. After much negotiation it . was at last determined am on gst themselves (the direc tors) to raise enough mone y t o s ettle the claim for the present, and enable the ship to go to sea.. The directors therefore paid in cash £8,569 9s. 4d., and gave a mortgage to Mr. Russell for £11,340, pay able in one month aft er th e return o f the ship to Liverpool, together with other mortgages and liens, amounting in the whole to £35,000. By this means the ship was got off on the Ist of May, and he felt, when he saw her go, that the company had the property to be proud of. (Laughter.) Thus far was the history to the sailing of the vessel. They then looked to the state of their affairs, and they saw that there was a fair opportunity in America for the employment of the ship, and that she might be so employed without coming under the opera tion of the Foreign Enlistment Act; but after the recent proclamation he did not feel that they would be doing what was safe if they allowed the ship to be chartered ; but he had induced Mr. Hors f all to put the notice on the paper of a question to the Minister for Foreign Affairs as to having ships chartered in America before the proclama tion arrived in America could be effected. It was scarcely likely the American Government would come to the terms proposed, and there was the prospect of the ship being sold with advan tage. Subscription list up to yesterday shows £26,000 out. The four directors subscribed £12,000 out of the £26,000. Mr. Brassy has subscribed £5,000, and the Rev. Mr. Nicholson has subscribed. £3,000. (Cheers.) So he congratulated them that six persons had subscribed £20,000, and he should be sorry to think that they would not make up the remainder. It was to their interest, and they ran no risk. It was not improbable that the ship would return in a few days, and within a month of her return the mortgages must be paid off. He called, on them to make up the necessary sum of £35,000., that the ship might be free in the hands of Vile directors to sell to the Government of this courtry ; and if they were so blind to their interest as to refuse to buy it, there was no doubt othri.s would. The Rev. Mr. Nrcrromost then dwelt upon the difficulties by which the company was surroundej, and recommended the shareholders to subscribe and. carry out the advice of the directors. Mr. MORTON wished to ask the following ques tions :—Were there any open claims of which the directors were aware in addition to the £35,000 ? Mr. Russell had a second mortgage ; what was the first, and who held it ? Who were to appoint the trustees for the 10 per cent. bondholders ? The CHAIRMAN said to the 30th of June £30,000 covered all but some outstanding matters. One was Mr. Parry's claim for £5,876, which was the sub ject of arbitration, and there were some trifling debts, amounting to £1,172; £35,000 would cover everything to the 30th of .Tune. The first mortgage was for £lO,OOO, lent by the bank with which he was associated. Then as to who were to be ap pointed trustees, the directors expected to nominate one, and leave the shareholders to nominate the other. Mr. SAMUEL TAYLOR thought that they owed nothing to Mr. Russell for his forbearance. Mr. 'F. G. TAYLOR wished to know why the great ship had not taken more third-class passengers. lie thought that they ought to express an idea of the price they wanted for the ship. It ought to fetch £500,000. The CHAIRMAN said every accommodation was provided for third-class passengers that they thought necessary ; they had refused a large number of Mormons who wished to go in the ship at £3 a head; they had been unable to take some emi grants who offered only a day or two before the ship sailed. Mr. MORGAN said he should subscribe a thousand pounds. Would the ship be sold without the pro prietors first being consulted? The CHAIRMAN said the directors would not con elude any sale without consulting the proprietors. After some further discussion the proceedings terminated, and several gentlemen put down their names as subscribers. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.
