Although very little alteration has taken place in the condition of the money market, an easier tone prevails, and the tendency of affairs appears more favourable, in consequence of the diminished pressure upon the resources of the Bank of England. During the last few days the withdrawals of gold have been comparatively moderate ; and as accom modation has been obtained on easier terms in the general market, the authorities have also experi enced a falling off in the demand for loans. There were no bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday. At the forthcoming meeting of the Australian Agricultural Company a dividend of 20s. per share will be proposed. A call of 2s. 6d. per share has been made by the Directors of the Clarendon Consolidated Mining Company of Jamaica. There was an active demand for cotton in Liver pool yesterday, and prices continued arm. The sales were about 12,000 bales. The half year's interest on Cape of Good Hope Government 6 per cent. Debentures will be paid on and after the 31st inst. At the meeting held to-day of the creditors of Messrs. L. Rodocanachi and Co., Greek merchants, who recently failed, it was stated that the liabilities amounted to £ 1 01,750, and the assets to £133,320 irrespective of £13,279 doubtful debts, which it is anticipated will realise a large sum. The suspension was produced by the stoppage of Messrs. P. Ede, Son, and Co., who are debtors to the extent of £18,882. After a few remarks the following resolution was unanimously agreed to by the few creditors present : " Messrs. L. Rodocanachi and Co. having explained the position of their several houses in London, Liverpool, Marseilles, Constantinople, Alexandria, and Cairo, by which it appears that their (area eugageni...c. amounted to £101,750, and the assets, which might be depended upon, amounts to upwards of £133,000, it was resolved that Messrs. L. Rodocanachi and Co. should con tinue to liquidate their estate, that the proceeds should be paid into an account at the Bank of England, in the joint names of L. Rodocanachi, Mr. A. S. Ralli, and Mr. J. E. Coleman, and that Messrs. L. Rodocanachi and Co. take the most effectual and speedy-means of communicating with their partners abroad, so as to be enabled to specify periods for the payment of the liabilities in full, and that this meet ing be adjourned to the first week in March, to enable them to carry out the terms of this resolution. and that notice of a further meeting be given as early as possible." At the meeting to-day of the Mercantile Dis count Company, the directors report, which recom mended a voluntary liquidation was agreed to. The estimated value of the assets after paying cre ditors is £14,319, and the profit and loss account £34,880 ; but the auditor thinks that] the loss will not exceed the sum of £32,000. The market for Public Securities is very dull, but rather firmer, viz., 91! 1 for money, and 91: a for the account. A favourable effect has been produced by the easier state of the money market, but busi ness is exceedingly inactive. The New Threes are steady, at 911 1 ; the Reduced, at 511 1; the New 2! per Cents. are fiat, at 76 ; Bank Stock remains at 233; India ditto, at 2181 , ditto 5 per Cent. Lout is flat, at 1001 ; and Exchequer Bills show no alteration, being ss. to ls. die. Coltinued activity prevails in the Foreign Market, and prices, in some instances, show in creased buoyancy. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 691 to 70; ditty New (1858), 55/ a ; and the 4 per Cents are 1011. Mexican are firmer at 221 Portuguese at 451 ; Spanish at 48-1; ditto Deferred; at 44 Russia 41 per Cents, are flat at 921 1; ditto (1860) are 101; and Sardinian 811.

Incidents like these, however, are in and whether it was thousands or shillings the result of Lord Cochrane's instance, scattered abundantly error was the same. through the annals of the Great War. As with the Mr. Lewis, in a very able speech, said that plaintiff was anecdotes told of Nelson they are familiar, far and made the scapegrace of Pullinger's offences.

The insig nia of that order of knighthood was in point of fact literally the one sole guerdon doled out by England to Thomas Cochrane, to Lord Cochrane, to the Earl of Dundonald ! And that—what was the sequel of the history of the presentation of that single reward to Lord Dundonald? Why, that it was torn from him but a very short tine indeed after its original presentation, that it was torn from him too with every possible token of indignity, that the banner on his stall in Westminster Abbey was pulled down and kicked out of Henry Vll.'s Chapel as the symbol of a dishonoured knight, that he was dismissed the service of which he was the glory and the paragon, that he was deprived of all rank in the British Navy, pronounced guilty of fraud and lying and the basest conspiracy, that he was expelled from the House of Commons, that he was condemned to pay a fine of £l,OOO, that hewas imprisoned in the King's Bench as a malefactor, that he was condemned to stand in the felon's pillory—and that all this is now known and proved to have been done wrongfully—Lord Coch rane being now known and proved to have been ab solutely guiltless of everything of which he was accused ! Is not this a painful history ? Are not these facts enough to make one blush for one's country, to make one weep for the anguish that must have been endured under all these ignominies, and for years and years afterwards, by this heroic heart—by this heart the last and crowning evidence of the matchless heroism of which was the fact that it did not burst, that it was not broken by this infernal and most dastardly treatment. As to the completion of the vindication of the outraged character of Lord Dundonald, it has by this time, thank heaven, come to be simply matter of History. His own vindication of what has been finely termed—[the original phrase will be found shining luminously in Mr. Disraeli's Life of Lord George Bentinck]—the perfect chastity of his honour, Lord Dundonald's own vindication of his unsullied reputation will be read by posterity not without profound emotion, in the pages of this manly and outspoken Autobiography. Upon the last page of the last volume completing the work—so far, at least, as it had been carried down as a onnsinp.ntive narrative before the veteran author's hand was relaxed by death, and the pen fell from it (never to be resumed), as the sword had been laid by previously —upon the last page of the last volume (vol. 11., p. 399) there will be found to have been recorded by the great Sailor Earl, who had done so much for, and suffered so much from, his country, the sub joined memorandum :-- "Amongst the curiosities shown to visitors of the Bank of England, there was, and no doubt is still, a thousand pound bank note, No. 8202, dated 26th June, 1815, on the back of which are endorsed the following words : " My health having suffered by long and close confine ment, and my oppressors being resolved to deprive me of property or life, I submit to robbery to protect myself from murder, in the hope that I shall li v e to bring the de. linquents to justice.

" Having written which—" There," adds the heroic veteran more than forty-five years afterwards, " There is the reward bestowed on me by a Minis terial faction, memorable only for its political cor ruption." Is this pronounced by any one to be the effusion of (to give it its mildest terms) pique or petulance P Let Sir Archibald Alison answer, Sir Archibald, whose political sympathies would go, if in either direction, instinctively in that of the Tory- Government. "In a free country," writes the His torian, in the 61st chapter of his opus. magnum (vol. ix., p. 337), " no deed of injustice, whether popular or ministerial, can permanently blast a noble character." And he adds—" With the changes of time, the power which had oppressed England's greatest existing naval hero passed away ; another generation succeeded, to which his exploits were an object of admiration, his weaknesses of forgiveness his wrongs of commiseration." And Alison observes upon this point in conclusion—" One of the mos h t, deservedly popular acts of t he new ministry whic succeeded to the helm a fter the overthrow of the Tory administration was to restore him to the rank and to the honours of which the he had tor bee ian n d only eprive th d; and there remai ns now o h ise the grateful duty of lending his humble efforts to a id in rescuing f rom unmerited obloquy h vic tim of aristocratic, as he has frequently done those of popular, j.Djotice." 139119tir to Sir Archibald 1 1; l a d pr 21 2 d 974 984 97 98 99 4 100! 21 22 71 73 45 47 50 55 42 47 42 47 94b 951 lid 1 cl 21 101 lOi 1144 90 95 02 96 M 96 38 82 33 85 82 0 85 87 1/ 1 t d 5 7 5 7 90 97i 21,1 2 d 92 91 03 71 33 90 0 21 16i 17 22 23 36 37 ..... • A., 47i 48i 17t 18i •26 27 - - MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A FEMALE.—EmiIy Gardener, a dissipated-looking female, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with the following assault on a young female named Emma Porter. The complainant said she was talking to a gentleman at the top of the Haymarket, when the prisoner came up and asked the gentleman to buy her an orange. She told the prisoner she had better leave, upon which the prisoner tried to strike her. With the view of preventing her doing so she put up her hand, upon which the prisoner seized hold of it, and in a savage manner broke one of her fingers. She gave the prisoner in charge, and then went to Char ing-cross Hospital and had her finger set. Prisoner said she did not do it; it was done before she came up, but this was denied by the coastplainant; Holden, 297 A, said that when charged the prisoner made no answer, but said she would give the complainant something if he would let her go, and afterwards said she would " mark" the complainant when she came out. The prisoner was the most dissipated woman that frequented the Haymarket. At the hospital the surgeon said the complainant's finger was broken, and that she must attend again. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was very savage of the prisoner to serve a poor girl in such a manner, aad fined the prisoner 405., or six weeks. • The complainant was led out of court, having fainted, and b eing evidently in great pain.

Last night he saw the prisoners with a true in Thomas-strelt, Whitechapcl. There was a sack o! corn on the truck. The prisoners stopped in front of a house in Thomas-street, and Hilton went to the door and called out, " Dick, here it a sack of sawdust for you." Witness felt the sack and said "ho, it is not sawdust, it is corn, you are my prisoners," tad collared both men directly. The sack was branded wilt the name of the owner, Henry Furze, and contained far bushels of clean oats. He asked the prisoners where thy obtained the oats, to which they both replied, " The fact is re stole the oats from Mr. Furse's brewery." Hilton was r • cently at the brewery doing a job. The other had ben employed at the brewery and discharged for misconduct. He believed the prisoners had been in the practice of stett ing corn from the brewery for some time. The prisoners, who appeared in excellent conditia, pleaded guilty, and in excuse for this offence, roared cc " Want, want only made us do it " Copping said the prisoners were not in distress, and hd good clothes on. The prisoners were sentenced to three months' imprint meat and hard labour. SPURTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL GRAND NATIONAL STEEPLE CHASE.

And now with regard to that other more requisite, and therefore more enthralling and attractive vindication with which w e have here more immediately to do—the vindication from charges far more serious than that of being a mere partizan writer, the vindication of the lofty and stainless character of the dauntless Sailor Earl of Dundonald ! The recapitulation of the manner in which it has been accomplished by himself only immediately prior to his demise were only superfluous, now that the story may be turned to, as it is here told by his own truth-writing hand, guiding his historic pen in, the light of his calm conscience and in the presence of posterity. The second volume of the deceased Earl's autobiography will be found to contain a full and complete record from first to last of the Stock Exchange Trial, and its lamentable consequences. It will there be seen how totally innocent of anything worse than indis cretion was this Bayard of the Deep in a deplorable transaction, throughout which he was merely th e victim of the nefarious p rocee di ngs o f men as b ase as his own wretched uncle, Mr. Cochrane John stone !

Banc illcs lachry me. There was the hoax — in the perpetration of which the hero of the Basque Roads was wrong fully and infamously said to have been implicated. Enough for us if we here content ourselves with an extract from the " Historical Sketches of the Bri tish Statesmen in the Time of George the Third" —the literary masterpiece of one of the greatestin tellects of this age, Henry Lord Brougham, ex- Chancellor. Speaking:of the famous Trial of Lord Cochrane, and we cannot but add its in-famous con clusion, Lord Brougham there writes : " If, Lord Cochrane was at all aware of his uncle Mr. Cochrane Johnstone's proceedings, it was the whole ex tent of his privity to the fact. Having been one of the counsel engaged in the cause 1 can speak with some confi dence respecting it, and I take upon me to assert that Lord Cochrane's conviction was mainly owing to the ex treme repugnance which ho felt to giving up his uncle, or taking those precautions for his own safety which would have operated against that near relation. Even when he, the real criminal, had confessed his guilt, by taking to flight, and the other defendants were brought up for judg ment, we, the counsel, could not persuade Lord Cochrane to shake himself loose from the contamination by abandon ing him. '‘‘ Our only complainst against Lord Ellenborough was his lordship's refusal to adjourn after the prosecutor's case closed, and his requiring us to enter upon our defence at so late an hour—past nine o'clock—that the adjournment took place at midnight, and before we called our witnesses. Of course, I speak of the trial at Guildhall only. Lord Ellen borough was equally to blame with his brethren in the Court of King's Bench for that most cruel and unjustifi able sentence, which at once secured Lord Cochrane's re election for Westminster when the House of Commons ex pelled him upon his conviction. " In 1833, the Government of which I was a member re stored this great warrior to his rank of Admiral in our navy. The country, therefore, in the event of hostilities, would now have the inestimable benefit of his services, ever ectriallel in heroic courage, and whose fertility of resources, military as NV;AILI:i him high amongst the very first of commanders. That his honours of kighthood, so gloriously won, should still be withholden is a stain, not upon him, but upon the councils of his country; and after his restoration to the service, it is as inconsistent and incomprehensible as cruel and unjust." (Lord Brougham's " Historic Sketches.") Those honours were at length, as we know, but only after many long years had elapsed, grudgingly restored to this incomparable Warrior of the Ocean. Grudgingly we say advisedly, for not until the very day before the sepulture of the mortal remains of the grand old earl, at Westminster Abbey, were the in signia of his knighthood of the Bath restored to his stall in Henry the Seventh's Chapel ! In obedienq then to the express injunctions of Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen and His Royal High ness the Prince Consort. And there he rests at last, in that the fittest place of all for his burial, under the roof beams of the glorious old cathedral —that true hero and true knight—that veteran man of genius and man of glory, with no sem blance of a blot left to blur the splendour of his historic escutcheon. Yonder he reposes at last, in his honoured but unmarked grave. His unmarked grave ! Has England, then,,nothing remaining to do—not in his honour, but in vindication of hers ? Yes—until this last deed in his instance, shall have been done—a thousand times, yes; England has yet to raise there, over his venerable dust, a monu ment inscribed with her recognition of his match less exploits and of his peerless reputation, and inscribed, too, with the acknowledgment of her own tardy repentance for that national ingratitude uy ry Shull/US Ilft ryna tut bittered. Lectures on the Surgery of Childhood. Delivered at the Hospital for Sick Children. By Athol D. W. Johnson, F.R.C.S., Surgeon to the Hospital. Mr. Johnson, the eminent surgeon to the Hos pital for Sick Children--that hospital which more than all others excites the tender sympathies of the humane—has, in the publication of these lectures, conferred an inestimable benefit on the numerous members of the medical profession scattered over the country to whose care the illnesses and acci dents of childhood are so constantly confided. By such this will, we doubt not, be regarded as a boon of no small value. Mr. Johnson says : It is but a few weeks since a gentleman at this hospital asked me what work I could recommend him to read upon this subject ; and it was probably to his surprise, as I con fess it had originally been to mine, that he learnt that there was really no special book of the kind published. The number of works in various languages devoted to the medi cal diseases of children is very great, and includes many of the highest excellence; amongst these, I need scarcely refer you to the admirable " Lectures" of Dr. West ; but owing, I suppose, to these works having been written almost exclusively by physicians, the surgical affections have received but scanty notice, if any. After a long search indeed, I found in Frank's " Deice tus" a short Latin treatise by Oehme, "Do morbis roams Natorum Chirurgicis ;" but any author who applies to this in the hope of pilfering ideas with impunily, will, I believe, be deservedly disappointed. The distinction, it is true, between medical and surgical affections in early life, as at all other ages, cannot be accu rately drawn. In many cases which are strictly medical, my assistance is occasionally invoked. In croup, for in stance, I have been Galled on to perform tracheotomy; or for the consequences of pleurisy, to puncture the chest ; whilst in all my surgical cases I am ever most glad to avail myself of the ready assistance of my colleagues. Without pretending, however, to logical accuracy,there is practically little difficulty in effecting the separation, in assigning to physicians and to surgeons their respective cases. The surgical affections of children may, I think, be con veniently arranged as follows : I. Those Congenital Malformations—using the term in a very broad sense, and including arrests of develop ment—which require the attention of the surgeon. 11. The direct or immediate consequences of Injuries or Accidents. 111. Surgical Diseases proper, which may follow one or other of the previous divisions, or which may arise from other causes. The first lecture relates to original imperfections, the second to accidents, and the third to surgical diseases proper. - The concluding passage of this lecture we quote with pleasure as an evidence at once of Mr. Johnson's judiciary skill and tender thoughtfulness towards the young objects of his care : It is in children especially that a cure may be hoped for, even iu most aggravated forms of disease of these parts; for in children the plastic powers of nature aro so great that recovery may take place when in the adult any such hope can scarcely exist. I have no hesitation in owning that, when I first became surgeon to this hospital (not so many years since), I was less unwilling to have recourse to operations than lam now. In recent times, what is called conservative surgery has made much progress, and a joint is now excised, where, formally, the extremity would have been sacrificed. This is, no doubt, a great improvement, but after all, the most really conservative surgery is to save the joint as well ; and this, I feel perfectly certain, can, in early life, with care, time, and perseverance on the part of the surgeon, be accomplished much more frequently than is generally supposed. I nbed scarcely dwell on the advantages of this preservation, if it be practicable : to say nothing of our avoiding the risk of an operation, which is always appreciable, and in the knee is considerable even in children, the length ad proportions of the limbs are preserved, and a consid , amount of motion in the joint may ultimately, in ahuoat all eases, be obtained. exanaples in In the adjoining room you may s illustration of this restorative power:ll° t a h s tra fe p w In one child, Alfred Thistleton, in lora e t h f e ver so severe, d eeurctt o i f n on nature. f u t i he e. parts about the joint was so extensiv L a you will find that the and the health so much impaired, the very point of proposing _e s la int one time I was on etxhaj; the limb is a very useful i g fr iad to find my views , child is now stout and one whose Opinion might have ed ()borate an by a most uni on this subject corroborated ono, Whilst and t hek writingnee thisis onilelyveettl cw y oan s sf t i r m in Dnelineandidfferently, for he has been the Rreat and 0 excision ; mean Mr. been e at surgeonex is recent y published "Third Report on Ope rativeT3utcher.

That "repair in the young is to be looked forward to, to be de pended upon as a certainty," .and consequently that there should be "no hasty removal of diseased joints" in child hood. Among the poorer classes, it is true, we have many dis advantages to contend with. Time, good air, and good living, are three great requisites in aid of our surgical treat ment, but the demand for our beds is so urgent, that the first can seldom be afforded within the hospital ; and, as an out-patient, the child will seldom enjoy the two last,whilst it is deprived also, too often, of systematic care and ofjudi cious nursing. Such impediments to success, as we cannot pretend to ignore them, must be fairly encountered and grappled with ; difficulties exist in all cases, and i n every sphere of action; it is the part of him who hopes to suc ceed in life, or wlw strives tyo cpEciwi.timly perform his duties, to be prepared for difficulties, to exert himself to his utmost to overcome them. In bringing to a conclusion the first course of lectures ever delivered at this institution, I may briefly state that they were undertaken, because my colleagues, as well as myself, were most anxious to render generally available any information which this hospital may afford; because we felt that our position here involved a trust, and that our offices had been bestowed upon us, not for our own indivi dual advantage, but with the hope that we might contri bute something to the knowledge of the diseases of cJaildren, and of their treatment.

A GAMEKEEPER SHOT.—A few nights since a murderous attempt was made upon a gamekeeper in the employ of Lady Emily Foley, of Stoke Edith-park, Here fordshire, by a navvie employed on the "Worcester and Herat fk,;(l IlAway, and known to his companions by the sou.irr qua of " Lank." It appears that Nutt was out upon his beat when he came upon a man beating a field of turnips on a farm called Freetown, in the occupation of a gentleman named Pitt. He observed that the paacher had a gun and was watching the operations of the dog, and ho therefore advanced towards him without attempting to warnhim off, but the fellow, on seeing Nutt, called upon him to "stand back," or he would blow his brains out. The keeper was about to close with his antagonist, when the fellow raised the piece to his shoulder and deliberately shot him. Provi dentially the man partially avoided the charge by a dex terous movement of the body, but several of the shots struck him in the face, and one of his eyes is injured and discoloured, though it is thought ho will not lose his sight. As soon as Nutt recovered himself he made another attempt to capture the fellow, who had in the meantime taken the precaution to reload his gun, and who swore that he would either shoot him dead or beat his brains out with the stock before he would allow himself to be made a prisoner. As discretion in such a crisis was certainly the better part of valour, the keeper hastened home to have his injuries attended to, and to inform the head keeper of the formidable opponent he had met with. The fellow, too, at once de camped, and, although the police have been very active in endeavouring to effect a capture, they have not succeeded in their object. DEATH OF A CRIMINAL LUNATIC IN BETHLEHEM Hosr 'TILL .—Yesterday afterneor Mr. Sergeant Ptyne, co roner for London and Southwark, held an inquest in the Board-room of Bethlehem Hospital, St. Georges's, South wark, on the body of Anne Cuffarn, aged 38 years, who diet in that institution, where she was confined during her Majesty's pleasure, for the murder of her child. The de ceased woman was tried at Stafford, in 1847, for the wilful murder of her illegitimate child at Walsall, where she was employed as domestic servant. She was acquitted on the ground of insanity, and ordered to be confined during her Majesty's pleasure. She was detained in the county gaol at Stafford for three years, when she was removed to Beth lehem Hospital, where she remained up to the period of her death. Dr. Hood said the conduct of deceased was quiet, excepting on occasions. A short time since she was taken unwell, and died on Tuesday morning, at five o'clock, from chronic bronchitis. After hearing evidence on these points, the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony. THE LONDON DISTRICT TELEGRAPH.—About two years ago a company was formed for a complete tele graphic ramification of London and its rapidly extending suburbs. The idea was based upon the very reasonable ee conclusion that, with the enormous population comprised within a radius of ten or twelve miles from Charing cross, a sufficiently remunerative traffic might be en sured by the adoption of a moderate and uniform tariff, whereby the undertaking would be made both remunerative to the shareholders and an almost neces sary convenience to the general public. From time to time, as the works have proceeded, posts and wires may have been noticed erected upon the tops of the most commanding buildings in the various thorough fares, and the novelty of the works has led many to take some interest in the undertaking and its pro - bable future success. It is stated that the company have now opened upwards of 50 stations in the various parts of London and the suburbs for the transmission of messages, and have recently opened their new central station in Cannon-street. For the necessary working of their system, somewhat similar to the arrangements of the General Post-office, the greater part of the messages are telegraphed to this station, where they aro sorted, and thence transmitted to their various destinations. Messages for the provinces and the continent are also received by the company at their various branch stations, so that all parts of London are, or shortly will be, in direct telegraphic communication with the general telegraph system of Europe, and messages from the provinces or continent can also be sent to their destination by the company's wires, whereby the present unavoidable charge for foot messen gers will be saved, and a more rapid delivery ensured. Tho intention of the company is to employ principally female clerks, and they now have 150 on at their central and various branch offices. The expeii meat has thus far been successful, and as female tele graphists are also employed by the other companies, it is hoped that a large and fairly remunerative field for lakoenr s. is thus :opened to well Peducated and intelligent fe: t a l in. The number of applications for appointments is credible, and the names and addresses of erecting tele clerks are required.

A FRENCH SWIND Saturday for swindling. " What asked the President. " Julie de Meilhae," is your answered the woman.

" You.have had many others ; you have, for example, called yourself not only De Meilhae, but Countess de Montignac, but ix reality your name is Florel ; you were born in 1818 in the Maternity Hospital at Bordeaux, and were brought up in the Foundling Hospital of that city. You are now 42 years of age, and yet you re presented yourself as only 28. Tell me w h at you did in the early part of your life." " I decline t o g i ve explana tions." " You must tell." " I was brought up in the convent of the Sacre-C oeur at Bordeaux, and afterwards lived for seven years with the sister of M. Mocquard, the Emperor's secretary." " You mean that you were in a convent for the reception of frail women ?" A detail of the acts alleged against the woman was then given. She had gone to the lodgings of several poor people, introducing herself as a da , ho-dc-charite, and after inquiring with great apparent interest into their situation, and promising them relief, had sent them out on some errand, and then stolen different articles ; she had run up bills at hotels and lodg• ing-houses, and gone away without paying ; had got goods on credit from wine dealers, and others, and not paid for them ; and she had, either by fraudulent representations or downright robbery, obtained 700 f. from one person, 480 f. from another, 114 f. from a third, 218 f. from a fourth, and so on. The woman, on being questioned about these diffe rent cases, replied with great insolence, and pretended not to know several of the persons whom she had defrauded. At last the President was so disgusted with her that he cried out, " You are an impudent creature!" She then jumped up in a rage, shook her fist, and was about to _ The an swer, when a gendarme compelled her to sit dor.
