MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLoCK. The dealings in the foreign and colonial pro duce markets have been of a rather limited cha racter during the last few days. Tea at public sale realised about former prices. Sugars were in moderate favour, the superior qualities being dealt in at full rates ; and coffee has continued in active demand, at high prices. In rice, fruit, spices, and saltpetre the transactions have been without any material change in values. Tallow has been dull. At the public sales of colonial wool the rates established at the commencement of the series have been fairly maintained for all descrip tions. A fair amo un t o f b us i ness was t ransac t e d i n th e Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were well supported. The sales were 12,000 bales. A further small amount of gold, viz., £5,000, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday, but 60,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for America. The steamer 'Hibernian, which left Liverpool Yesterday evening for Quebec, took £25,000 in specie for Montreal. A call, ss. per share, has been made by the direc tors of the Oriental Gas Company, payable on or before the Ist of July next. A slight improvement is perceptible in the im mediate appearance of the money market, a diminu tion in the demand having led to increased easiness, and business is now transacted on lower terms in private channels than at the Bank of England. The tendency of the rate, however, is still consi dered very uncertain, as the efflux of sovereigns to America is at present maintained, and unless it should be arrested affairs may yet assume an unsatis factory aspect. The English Stock Market has continued quiet, in the absence of speculation or operations for transfer. Consols, however, have remained at 91 1 for transfer, and 91i for the account. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities are 891 I. Bank Stock is steady at 232 and 2331 ; India ditto at 226} ; ditto 5 per Cent. Loan at 1011 ; ditto 61 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 931 ; and ditto 51 per Cent. at 100. Very little change has taken place in Foreign Securities, and the dealings have been restricted. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 711 to 72 ; ditto, 1858, 56h to 57 ; Mexican are steady at 22/, Russian 41 per Cents. at 911, and Dutch 4 per Cents. at 994; Spanish are firm at 511. Business in the Railway Share Market has con tinned very quiet, and the variations in prices have been unimportant. Eastern Counties, Lan cashire and Yorkshire, and North Westerns have declined 55., and Midlands, North Eastern (Ber wick) improved ss. to 10s. The Foreign and Colonial Lines have been very dull, prices, however, continue steady, Dutch Rhenish realise 131 ; East Indian 101 to 1014 ; Great Indian Peninsula 681, and Great Western of Canada 101 11. _ _ Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have shown no change of importance in values. London and Westminster realise 66 ; East and West India Stock 115, and Red Sea Telegraph 17. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities B 9I i I i 3 per Cent.

MAILS FOR NORWAY.—The steam packet corn raunication between Denmark and Norway having been re-established, the mails from the United Kingdom for Norway will be conveyed direct by sea from Denmark to Norway instead of via Sweden, until further notice. The Tate of postage to be taken on letters addressed to Norway will be ls. 4d. the half ounce, and so on, according to the scale in operation for charging inland letters. This rate comprises both the British and Foreign postage on the fitters to the place of their destination, and it may be either paid in advance or the letters may be forwarded unpaid, at the option of the sender; except, however, in the case of registered letters, the postage upon which, as well as the registration fee, must be paid in advance.—By command of the Postmaster-General.

Dr. Cardwell Was highly esteemed throughcut the university and city, and the poor of Oxford will have to deplore the loss of one of their greatest benefactors. A Fox CAUGHT IN LOMBARD-STREET.—About a Week ago M r.

(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices of c NTOE7 Appeal.) THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA V. KOSSUTH AND DAY. The further bearing of these part heard appeals were resumed this morning, and the defendants' counsel have been fully heard. _ _ _ Mr. Roundell Palmer, Q.C., is now being heard in reply for the plaintiff, the Emperor of Austria. The court is densely crowded. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT -TATHA/S T. VERNON. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judg ment said—The question here is, whether under the settle ment made by the testator his children take an estate of inheritance in the real property settle.] thereby or whether there was in the settlement such words of limitation as limits the right of the children to the inheritance. The testatorhad two classes of property, freehold and copyhold. His will was executed on the 23d April, 1824, by which he undoubtedly disposed of his freehold, but then there was a settlement made at a subsequent date, and the question raised is whether its provisions supersede or release the provisions in the will. The settlement was voluntary, and disposes of the freehold, copyhold, and leasehold. It is dated 24th and 25th June, 1825. The will and settlement were both executed by the late John Miller Vernon to two trus tees, disposing of his freehold, copyhold, and leasehold pro perty in favour of his wife, son, and daughter. His Hon our, on considering the terms of the devise contained in the settlement, was of opinion that the freehold estates remain entire and go to his heir. But his copyhold estates stand on a different footing; they go to his wife and children, subject to the directions and limitations con tained in the will, and that the will and settlement should be read together. And, being of this opinion, a third ques tion is raised—whether under the will the children take absolutely ? His Honour, on reading the word "issue," contained in the will, was of opinion that the children were entitled to take on the death of their mother, or on attaining the age of 21, and if not divided the interest was to be paid till they arrived at the age of 25, or were married. His honour declared that the son took absolutely, but the daughter took a vested interest in her lifetime, and it re turned to her children in the events stated. Costs properly incurred to be paid out of the respective estates. MARSH V. KEITH.-JUDGMENT. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said—ln this case the testator, Joseph Marsh, created a charge on his real estate of £20,000. I have appointed new trustees; and the only question before me is, whether the devisee or owner of the estate is entitled under this sort of charge to receive the money before the amount devised becomes actually devise able among the persons entitled to it. His Honour con sidered that the result of the decided cases, and the opinions of Lord St.Leonards, establish that in a question of intention, the whole of the settlement must be taken as a charge on the testator's estate. And after expressing his views on the matter, and appointing new trustees who would act accord ing as they thought fit, his Honour declined to make any declaration at this stage of the proceedings. His Honour's decision was in favour of the devisee. £20,628, deducting legacy duty, was to be brought into court. Costs to be paid out of the trust fund. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) SMETIITJEST V. TOMLINS-THE WILL OF ISABELLA BANKS. Dr. Phillimore this moaning appeared on the part of Dr. Thomas Smethurst to support the demurrer that had been entered to pleas of the respondent. The will of Miss Isa bella Banks, whom, it will be remembered, died under very peculiar circumstances at Richmond in the spring of the year 1859, and Dr. Smethurst was accused of causing the death of the unfortunate lady by poison. After a very long trial Smethurst was convicted of wilful murder and sentenced to be hanged in front of the county gaol. Owing to the doubtful nature of the medical evidence, a free pardon was granted to Dr. Smethurst, but as he had also committed bigamy by feloniously intermarrying Miss Isabella Banks, his first wife being then alive, an indict ment for that offence was preferred against him, upon which he was found guilty, and sentenced to one year's imprisonment. Previous to her death, Miss Banks had executed a will, bequeathing the whole of her property, with the exception of a brooch to one of her female friends, to Dr. Smethurst. At the expiration of the term of imprisonment, Dr. Smethurst applied for probate of the will of the testatrix. The learned gentle man said his client propounded the will of Miss Banks on the 31st of May, 1860, but the respondents, Mr. and Mrs. Tomlins and Miss Louisa Banks, appeared by counsel and objected to probate being granted on the ground that the will was not executed according to the Aet of 1856 ; that it was obtained by undue influence and control ; that the testatrix at the time she executed the will was not in a sound state of mind ; and also the special plea that the conviction fur the bigamy disqualified him from all interest in the will of the deceased lady. To these pleas Dr. Smethurst had demurred, and he now appeared to support that demurrer. His contention would be, that although the cases were not many and the authorities few, they were sufficient to esta blish the proposition that a person being convicted of felony did not prevent him from discharging the duty of an exe cutor. It must be observed that the Crown did not ap pear in this case, but the next of kin, and this proved too much ; for if Dr. Smethurst's right was gione by reason of his having committed felony, that of the next of kin was gone also, and the right reverted to the Crown, and the Crown was not on the present occasion represented in the case. The learned doctor then quoted from the Crown cases a decision of Mr. Justice Williams to the effect that there were but few crimes that would prevent a person from acting as an executor. The judgment set out several offences, amongst which were outlawry and bankruptcy, but felony was not included. The Judge Ordinary—The question is, does the convic tion bar the right to apply for probate. Dr. Phillimore agreed that that was the question, and, according to his opinion, Dr. Smethurst was not precluded, by the law of the land, from acting in such a position. Dr. Swabey followed on the same side. Dr. Deane, for Mr. Tomlino and other respondents, ar gued that the conviction for felony was a total and effectual bar to the right of Dr. Smethurst to probate of the will of Miss Banks. Every case bearing on the point was a support of that vie w , an d the Court had a r i g h t t o exercise a discretion, and that in this case it could be most bene ficially used by refusing to grant probate of the will. Dr. Smethurst was here seeking to secure no interest but his own, which had in fact ceased to exist, because by reason of his felony he had forfeited his rights. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Mereweather followed on the same side. Dr. Phillimore, in reply, contended that whatever dis. abilities Dr. Smethurst might have laboured under, if they had ever existed, had now ceased to exist, and, looking to the judgment of Mr. Justice Williams, he thought Dr. Smethurst was in a good position to ask for probate of the will in question, and was quite competent to act as an executor. The Judge Ordinary—Can a convicted felon make a will and appoint an exec u t or ? Dr. Phillimore—l recollect hearing my Lord Chelmsford say it was a judge's rivilege to ask questions, and a coun sel's privilege to r e f use to answer. I will not go that length, my lord; but I must say I am not at the present moment prepared to answer the question. The Judge Ordinary—Therefore the court is to be left in ignorance on a point on which it requires information. (Laughter.) Dr. Phillimore—l am very sorry, my lord, but I cannot answer the question at this moment. The learned gentleman having concluded his reply, The Judge Ordinary said he was not prepared to give his decision is the present case -without some considera tion. He must, therefore, take time before he delivered judgment. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, May 24.—Wind this day at noon, North- Westerly; light breeze, and fine weather.

Bon TRAVERS AND THE POLICE.—Bob Travers, the well-known pugilist, was charged before Yardley, as follows : Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap. peared for the defendant. Fitch, 186 0, said th;tt about two this morning he heard the defendant hallooing and singing, in Leicester square. He told him to go away, and as he would not he took him into custody. The defendant was drunk. Mr. Lewis put several questions to the constable with the view of showing that he turned his bull's-eye on him, and said, " Oh, it's you, Travers ; you are not among your pals now, calling for brandy and water and making me pay for it ;" that he had been drinking with Bob Travers, and fell out with him because he (Bob Travers) would not pay for it, at Alec Keene's ; that he had never told the Inspector (Mr. W ebb) that the defendant had used obscene language ; and that he had told the defendant he was a better man than he was, and that he was a -- black; but the constable denied the questions entirely. Mr. Yardley asked Mr. Lewis if he was prepared with witnesses to support the defence, and Mr. Lewis replied that he was not. Inspector Webb said the defendant was drunk, b u t that he had known him to assist the police on several ccasions. Mr. Lewis, having addressed the magistrate at some length, stating that he should be prepared with witnesses to support his case, if adjourned, Mr. Yardley said he did not consider the defence at. m all supported as it might have been, but h e should only i pose a nominal fine of Is. At the same time he msustsay that he did not believe the insinua tions throwl . at gainst the constable, unsupported as t he y were by witnesses: Mr. Lewis said he had simp l y acted according to his in. struc Hons. ----------------------- oday being HER MAJESTY'S D AY.— This ,IR anniversary of the birth of her Majesty, business was and So merset- wholly suspended at the Custom-house, the Excise, th 8 0 , t fh 0 01 nr Ordnance-office, a st n tr y -office. inspection of various dock and bonded warehouses, the Bank, the Ad e tookthie house.r a ß lt o y u sa and e gorse dhopc;l on the Parade, in St. James's -13:3' i i i iia rda de t park, b place, at 10 o'clock, 3 i 7 his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in -Chief. - n-Chief.

PROVIDENT SOCIETIES. Mr. SLANEY gave notice that on Tuesday next he would move for leave to bring in a bill to amend and extend the act relating to provident societies. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY, Lord J. RUSSELL, in the absence of Lord Palmerston, moved that the house would immediately resolve itself into committee of supply, and stated that the motion had be come necessary in consequence of the house having bo on counted out one night preceding the recess. DOCKYARD MANAGEMENT. On the motion that the Speaker do leave the chair, Sir F. SMITH rose to call the attention of the house to the report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the control and management of her Ma jesty's naval yards, and to move, " that it is expe dient that such reforms should be made in the control and management of her Majesty's naval yards as will tend to promote greater efficiency, and consequently to insure greater economy in those establishments." He said the Commission to which he wished to call attention was com posed of very able men; it sat a considerable time; it ex amined 72 witnesses, and asked about 11,000 questions; and he ventured to assert that not one of those witnesses said that the management of the dockyards was other than inefficient; the evidence accumulated proofs of all that was stated in the report of the Commission. It appeared that there was no harmony of action between the leading officers of this department; that the Controller of the Navy could exercise no effective power, though he had the responsibility; between him and the storekeeper there was scarcely any communication that could lead to accuracy of proceeding ; the accounts were minute, but mystified and irregular, and, for practical purposes, of little or no value. To show how true these statements were, and how long the system they describe had existed, he would quote some of the evidence, given before the Commission; among others, that of the right hon. baronet the member for Carlisle (Sir J. Graham).- He stated that so little control was there over the appro priation of money, that when he was First Lord of the Ad miralty a large building was erected, for which no vote was passed by the House of Commons, and of which the. house had no information. Then there was the evi dence to the same effect of Sir R. Bromley, the Accountant- General. There were numerous small items in the ac counts, £lOO and £2OO, or £l,OOO and £2,000; there wag abundance of minute detail; but whether a line-of-battle ship cost £120,000 or £200,000 the house could not ascer tain. With such a system any mercantile firm would be ruined. In the evidence of the Controller of the Navy there was also this startling fact, that at various times after a plan and programme had been drawn up by the Board of Admiralty and sent down to the dockyards it was discovered that the materials required were not in store. On several occasions for the want of seasoned timber work had been stopped, on others unseasoned timber had been used. This was a state of things to be deeply regretted and deplored. He did not know what answer the noble lord the Secretary of the Admiralty might make to his motion. He might say that the evidence did not bear out the recommendations of the Commission ; he might state that another committee wan then sitting upstairs on the Board of Admiralty itself ; or he might say that it.was the intention of the Government to carry out many of the recommendations of the Commis sion. This he should be very glad to hear, but as to the committee upstairs it had not much to do with the question before the house. If the noble lord disputed the report of the Commission on the ground that it was not borne out by the evidence, on t at point he would join issue with the noble lord. He should be very reluctant to bring forward a blue-book containing 11,229 questions, or to quote much from it ; but there were a few answers that he should like I to read to the house. Not many members had time to read the whole of the evidence and the report. Probably the noble Secretary of.the Admiralty had not been able to examine it minutely. But it was a question of such importance to the country, to the taxpayers, and to the House of Commons, that it ought to be thorougly sifted and examined—(hear) — and he hoped he should Obtain the indulgence of the house for a few minutes, while he brought forward some of the recommendations of the Commission. One change was re commended by the Secretary of the Admiralty himself ; it was that another Lord of the Admiralty should be ap pointed, who should be specially charged with the manage ment of the dockyards. It was recommended that the store • keeper should be placed under the Controller-General. Perhaps the noble lord would say the Controller would be sorry to take that charge. He certainly had a good deal to do already; but by appointing another Lord of the Admiralty, with the entire charge of the dockyard manage ment, that difficulty would be overcome. In a case of so much importance the house would not begrudge one or two additional lords of the Admiralty. It wished the public money to be well spent, and to know how it was spent, That was not the case at present. For instance, take the manner in which contracts were made ; it was done in a very slovenly manner. There was the case of the Warrior, She was a vessel of entirely new construction. The draw ings were prepared by the Surveyor of the Navy, and sent to different builders; on those drawings they were to make tenders. With everything connected with the vessel diffe rent to what had been used before, how long did the house suppose the builders were allowed to make up their minds as to the plan and its cost? A month? No. A week? No; just four clear days. That was the time allowed them to make all their calculations. And the correspondence showed that alteration after alteration was made in the Warrior, with increase of cost as the consequence ; all because suffi cient time was not allowed at first. It was impossible for any man in four or five days, or a week, to make an accu rate estimate and tender for such a work; and surely, be fore any tender was accepted by the Admiralty, it had formed some calculation of its own. In this case the lowest tender was not accepted because the contractors required 16 or 18 months to complete the ship. The tender at £2 10s. more per ton was accepted, because the parties who obtained the contract undertook to build the ship in 11 months. It was quite clear that this could not be done, for the ship wa to be a model for others ; and the contractors were com pelled to take the timber from one particular company. Then take the case of the gunboats. Of 276 gunboats there were only 27 that did not require alterations that added to the cost. (Hear, hear.) He would now read to the house the first and most stringent paragraph of the report. The Commissioners regretted to state that, "in their opinion, the control and management of the dockyards are ineffi cient." That inefficiency they attribute to the following 1 causes—" the constitution of the Board of Admiralty, the defective organization of the subordinate departments ; and the want of clear and well-defined responsibility." The re- port also noticed the contradictory orders that were give n causing A elay and prejudice to the public service. It also .. - . ____ stated that the constitution of the Board of Adnursilt, wa'' ent of incompatible with effective and economical mane s ge:_ i __ _,_ the dockyards. Sir B. Walker stated that h_ had ''' , every or seven changes in the 13 years he had bdeeLeinra tions: And surely it was charge causing different arrangements it appeared from the evidence that w on edge a : e mber of the board place of p the First Lord, should be established,and andcoul d tw g o iv m e an emb or e d rs er c w ol i t th d o s u l t te t r he a Minister for the Navy Diloet from the board.

This suggestion, if adopted, would be da:kyee.ards should . . likely to saddle the country with an unnecessary number of officers. The report stated that " the system of accounts was elaborate a n d m i nute, but agar as we can judge its re sults are not t o b e relied on for any prac ti ca l p urpose. " Th e Accountant-Gener a l, Sir R. Bromley, in his evidence said, if he had been permitted, he could have put the accounts en a better system, but for that purpose he must have a greater number of clerks. But how many had he already ? No less than 177. He did not see how he could manage that number ; it was their number made the difficulty; he believed if the 100 were struck off, and only the 77 retained, the I work would be better done. In the different departments ' there was a whole army of clerks; if the clerks in the Admiralty and the War-office alone were armed with rifles, and sent to the outskirts of London, they would form a m all army. There were 600 of them. It appeared that the audit at present instituted was of an imperfect kind, being au internal audit only, whereas to be really effective it ought to be an external audit also. The opinion had been repeatedly expressed that large retrenchments might be effected in the present dockyard expenditure. He hoped his noble friend (Lord C. Paget) would be able to 0 0411 °7 these improvements could be accomplished, an d how this WPM)? might be effected, What the colut 37 Vrail Wag mom - ;ong °tot, rood G. r G. the an he and ,the the ►rd er in- of id c- Share] 100 stk 18 20} 204 10 100 1 100 100 100 100 100 stock, 100 stook stock stock stock stock stock 17i 20 stock 20 20 100 100 (100 15 all 100 1 ALL 5 i i
