MONEY 014.Rif ET 2. ND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The changes in the Bank of England return, Completed to the 21st inst., are again of a favour able character. 0 wing to the arrival of Australian remittances, and the falling off in the supplies forwarded to New York, the bullion has been increased to some extent. In the Reserve of Notes there is also a large addition, while the Public Deposits have been added to by about three quar ters of a million sterling, in consequence of the active collection of the revenue. In the Private Deposits there is a small falling off, while the other Securities have only been slightly aug mented. A favourable feature, however, is a further addition to the Government Securities. In the other items of the balance-sheet the changes are unimportant. Subjoined are the particulars : Active Circulation ..

The North American, which left yesterday for Quebec, took out £35,000 in specie. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. J. and 1. Miller, in the Australian trade, the liabilities Were stated at £14,487, and assets £7,991. It was agreed that the estate should be liquidated under Inspection. The directors of the South Eastern Railway Company have announced a dividend of 12s. 6d. on each of the £3O stock, being at the rate of £4 3s. 4d. per cent. per annum. During the last few days there has been more animation in the markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce. Tea at public sale advanced about Id. per lb., while sugar and coffee have slightly im proved. Rim: , and cocoa, hutv., bp ,o bc.cu and only limited transactions have been recorded in saltpetre. Tallow has been in more request for both present and forward &livery. A large amount of business was reported in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and the late advance was fully maintained. The sales were 25,000 bales. The demand for discount accommodation is still exceedingly moderate, and the quotations, although not lower, still tend downwards. Rather less animation has been perceptible in the market for Public Securities to-day, but the Funds have been firmly maintained, Consols being 9 11 * for transfer, and 91 for the account. The continuance of favourable weather for the harvest and the expectation of cheaper money are the prin cipal causes of the prevailing buoyancy.

CV2III.2VAL COURT.—(This Day,) OLD COURT. (lefore Mr. Justices Blackburn and Hill.) ANOTHER LUNATIC. Amonga the prisoners arraigned this morning was a letter-carrie-, who was charged with stealing a letter. The unfotunate man exhibited unmistakeable symptoms of insanity, and the surgeon of the priSon expressed it as his opinion tat he was quite unfit to plead. This is theTcond man who has been found unfit to plead this session of account of lunacy. THE VERDICT. 1~~ - ~. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THIS DAI" 8 MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. calmly inveighled his son into a dreary lane in Twickenham for the purpose of murder for a temporary pecuniary profit. He thought that a jury of Englishmen would fitm the evi dence that had been placed before them come to an opposite conclusion. Then from the first a great degree of public sympathy had followed all the proceedings of the son, but he was of opinion that that sympathy was altogether misplaced Instead of the conduct of the young man being a benefit to the prisoner it had been of the greatest disadvantage, and he would have far preferred to have had him under cross- examination than that kind of romantic display which had been made in court that day. Such an exhibition was one which he for one wished had not taken place. He should have spoken out, and re-made his statement in court rather than have adopted the course he had done. He did not fear anything that could be said against his client, but the conduct of the son that day in court had done more to crush the un fortunate father than any evidence he could give, even if he had given it twenty times over. With respect to the evidence adduced to prove the case, it was of the most un satisfactory nature imaginable. Great stress had been laid on the statement of one of the witnesses that the prisoner had struck the son with a short heavy whip handle; but why was that whip handle not produced. The old woman Fitzgibbon said she picked up one of the nature described, and gave it to the ostler at the Swan, and although it had been insinuated that the prisoner had secreted the instrument with which he had assaulted his son, he (Sergeant Ballan tine) was of opinion that the ostler of the Swan still pos sessed the whip which the old woman had given him, and had it been thought absolutely requisite for a conviction it could have been produced. Had the Baron had such a wicked purpose in his mind would he have selected such a spot as he did for the effecting such a dreadful crime. The Baron was neither an idiot, rogue, or a fool, and had he contemplated the death of his sou he would not have selected the public road as the spot on which to commit a murder. The learned judge having summed up the evidence, The jury at six minutes past 3 returned into court, and returned a verdict of guilty of unlawfully wounding. His Lordship then sentenced the Baron to 12 months' imprisonment. POLICE 2NTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) ROBBING A POLICE-CONSTABLE.— JUVENILE OF FENDERS.—Two little boys named Robert Watson and Thomas Dobett were charged as follows :—James Elliott, 43 C, said he rented the house 7, Avery-row, and the pri soner Dobett's parents lodged in the house. Yesterday about 12 o'clock, he saw his watch safe, but on returning home in the evening, his wife informed him that it had been taken and some other articles. He asked Dobett if he knew anything about the watch, and he said he had sold it to a coachman in Grosvenor-mews. He went to the coach man, who gave him the watch. He then asked Dobett if he knew anything about the brooch or ring which had been taken, and he said he had sold the ring to a workman in Davies-street, and on going that morning to the workman he at once gave it up. Watson had lived in the same house as he had occupied formerly, but he knew nothing against either prisoner. His watch was of the value of M. Joseph Nash, coachman to Dr. Francis, of Grosvenor. square, said the boys were playing about his carriage when Watson said, "He's (meaning Dobett) has found a watch, and wants ss. for it." He said he would give 2s. Gd. for it, and did so, asking them whether they were sure they had found it, and Dobett said he had. Mr. Yardley—When a person finds a thing and sells it, he is not doing right. Your (to the witness) morals in that respect are not sound. If a person finds a thing he should try and find the owner. Witness—l gave the 2s Gd so as to secure it. Mr. Yardley—lf that was your object it was creditable. Dobett's father stepped forward and said, owing to his wife being ill, his son had had th© run of the streets. Mr. Yardley—l shall order you (the father) to enter into your recognizance of £2O for your son's good behaviour for two years, so that if he commits himself again you will have to pay the £2O, or go to prison. Ido this because there is a good deal of simplicity in the boy's conduct for selling a a-watch for 2s. 6d. The boys were then given up to their parents on their promising to take care of them. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was moderate, and consisted chiefly of the now crop. For new qualities the demand was steady, at Monday's decline in the quotations ; but old samples were very unsaleable. With foreign wheat, we were fairly, though not to say extensively, supplied. Importers, generally, were firm in their demands, and prices were supported for all good and fine qualities. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at full Barley changed hands heavily, at the late decline in its value. In malt, a limited business was transacted, on former terms. The oat traae was firm. arid late at es were quite main- Lair b e imports are now raking place from Archangel. The supply of beans was limited, and the dethand for them ruled steady, at full prices. Peas were a slow sale, yet no further change too. Y.,.__ in the quotations. In flour rather more business was doing, at the late quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Gate. Flour.

Alfred Louis Pons de Vidil was indicted for feloniously cutting and womding his son, with intent to murder him There were oiler counts in the indictment varying the charge. 101 f f f 99 19 20 .64 g B i i 141 1 25 41 53 Mr. Clark appeared for the prosecution, and Sergt. Bal lantine, Mr. Sleilh, and Mr. Orridge defended the prisoner. Mr. Clark, in ipening the case, referred at length to the painful facts connected with the occurrence, which have all been fully reportel in The Sun, and told the jury it would be for them, after tearing the evidence, to return a verdict uninfluenced by anything they might have read. The principal points dwelt upon by the learned gentleman were that of the son refining to give evidence against the pri soner, and the fact hat, although the prisoner when he left the house at which the horses were hired had not a whip with him, yet one of the witnesses that he would call before them woult state that he saw the prisoner strike the young man with a short-looking whip, with something shiting at the end of it on the head• The whip carried by he young man was a long white one. and therefore could EA be the one used by the prisoner, and whether the instrumait had been buried in the shrubbery into which the printer went after *the occurrence, or whether he threw it into the river could not be decided, although diligent Beath had been made. It would be his duty to put the son of the prisoner into the witness box, but what that would lead 1) he could not say. The deposition of the man Rivers, wit,. saw the blow struck, would be put in evidence, and although it was to be desirable that the witness might have hen personally in attendance, yet as that could not be, they bust act upon his written statement. The learned gentleman then referred to the motive of the the prisoner, and said that, without doubt, the prisoner, by the death of his son, would have immediately come into possession of £lO,OOO, and ultimately of £20,000, and al though he did not ear positively that the prisoner was actuated by such a motive, yet there was not in the case, according to his view d it, that entire absence of it which had been commented on in other places. He should ask them, in the conclusicn they came to, to be guided by the evidence, and that alcne. The learned gentleman then called Isaac Perry, who said —I au employed at a livery stable in Oxford-street. I racollect the prisoner hiring, on the 28th June, two horses. It was about two o'clock. He was accompanied by a young gentleman. The elder one carried a light riding whip. He asked me which was the quietest horse. I told him ; ani also said he would not require a riding whip to the hcrse he was going to ride. He then gave the whip to the son, and the prisoner left the premises without one. The horses were returned to us about eight o'clock the same evening but not by the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant galantine—lt was a very quiet horse that the son rode. The horse the baron rode would stop and rear up. I told the prisoner the horse he rode would require a whip, and if he could not get one he had better purchase a stick before he left London. Justice Blackburn—You had better call in the young man for the witness to identify. Alfred de Vidil was called, and having been identified by the witness as the person he referred to, he was directed by the Clerk to enter the witness-box. Having complied with the direction, Harker, the chief usher, repeated the oath, and tendered the young man the book to kiss. M. de Vidil—l decline to take the oath. I decline to be sworn or give any evidence for the prosecution. Mr. Justice Blackburn—lt is my duty to tell you that your duty is to do what you are called upon to do, and that is to speak the truth with reference either to the pro secution or defence. M. do Vidil—l decline to give any evidence. Mr. Justice Blackburn—lt is your duty, and you are bound to give evidence. You violate both your allegiance and duty when you refuse to be sworn. M. de Vidil—l still decline. 39 Mr. Justice Blackburn—Then, all I have to do is to ask the counsel for the prosecution whether he requires your evidence. Mr. Clark, as representing the Crown, do you require the evidence of the young man in the box ? 91 Mr. Clark—l do. Mr. Justice Blackburn—l now call upon you, M. de Vidil, to be sworn. M. de Vidil—l decline. Mr. Justice Hill—Have you considered fully the effect of your refusal to give evidence ? It is the primary duty of the subject to comply with the law of the country, which is made for the protection of every person in the realm. M. de Vidil—l have fully considered it, and I am pre pared to suffer for consequences. _ _ Mr. Justice Blackburn —Then I am sorry to say that I am compelled, in order to vindicate tho law, to commit 51 you to prison. Ido so for the purpose of showing that the law of the country cannot be treated with indiffer ence or _ f'inted in the course you are adopting by any corrupt motive, DM stance might arise at some future time, and if it was to become known that a witness could refuse to give evidence winch war, considered of vital importance the most disastrous consequences would ensue. It now becomes my duty to sentence you to one month's imprisonment in the Queen's 2 Prison. 4 i 5 1 i M. de Vidil then left the court in custody of the officers. During the time the above incident lasted the greatest interest was manifested in court. The young man spoke in so low a tone of voice that it was with difficulty that what he said could be heard. He never once turned his eyes towards the prisoner, but during the whole time he was in court he seemed to avoid meeting his gaze, John Evans, an engineer, repeated his evidence with respect to the young man running up to him and asking for protection after he had received the injuries on his head. The prisoner also came up a very short time after. When he got over the fence he had a whip handle in his hand. Mr. Clark—ls it the one that has been produced in court? Witness—No. It was not the same colour. It was of a yellowish colour, and was about two feet long. It had a loop at the top of it, and something bright at the end. Mr. Justice Blackburn—Can you say of what material it was ? Witness—No. A Juror—Was the loop at the end such an one as a thong could have been affixed to the handle. Witness—Yes. Julia Fitzgibbon, an aged female, next gave Ler evidence. It was to the effect that she saw the young man coming up the road with the blood streaming from his forehead. She picked up the young man's gloves. The elder gentleman said the young man had fallen from his horse and knocked his head against a wall. Cross-examined —The prisoner said that the horse had "chucked" the young man against the wall. I asked if I should go for a doctor, but the prisoner made no reply. He trembled very much. The two witnesses Tanner and Everett spoke to seeing the horse running about loose. Mr. Alfred Clark, surgeon, of Twickenham, rcpeated his evidence, and said he did not think that both wounds could have been caused by the fall from a horse. It appeared to him that they had been caused by blows from s blunt in strument. Mr. Parker, uncle of M. de Vidil , proved tha; the pri soner sent him a letter after the occasion stating that his son had met with an accident through a fall from his horse. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l am not aware that the son of the prisoner was taken up in the Isle of Wight as a wandering lunatic. I was telegraphed to coine to the island and I found him in custody. I thought it was from excess of brandy. I asked the magistrate to let me have him in company, and ho did so. Ho made some ex citement in the island. I took him to Portsmouth, but I don't recollect that it was in a Bath chair. I don't know that a will was made by the son previous to this occurrence. I never saw such a document. Evidence showing that the prisoner would receive a con siderable acquisition of wealth at the death of his son was then given. Mr. Burnaby, chief clerk at the Bow -street police court, produced the deposition taken at that court at the former examination of the prisoner. He also produced the depo sition of Rivers. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Sleigh objected. The learned judge ruled that such could be done, and the statement was read accordingly. This closed the case for the prosecution. Sergeant Ballantine then commenced his address. He said it now became his duty as counsel for the prisoner to address the jury upon the facts that had b een p rove d or . attempted to be proved against Previous to the pre sent imputation, the Baron de Vidil was a gentleman, the subject of another country, occupying a position in society of the highest respeetabilty. He could not help at the outset of his observations in referring to the manner in which his client had been treated. Not only had the baron been looked upon as a person of the most unnatural nature, but a highly-coloured statement had been published in which the unfortunate gentleman figured in the most deplorable way. T hen a great stress had been laid upon the circumstance that the son had refused to give evidence against the father, but notwithstanding that it had been most extensively made known and published. Not only had the most pre judicial statements been published, but pictures actually representing the Baron in the act of murdering his own son had been exposed for sale in the shops of London. He could not but think that throughout the whole of the present pro ceedings the unhappy gentleman at the bar had been libelled and scandalised, and he felt certain that he should be able to convince them that the prisoner, instead of acting in the disgraceful and cruel manner describe 3, had acted altogether in a manner precisely the reverse. It had also been insinuated that the Baron had a strong motive in getting rid of his son. He contended that the imputation of such a motive had altogether failed, and that it was un natural to a degree to think that the Daroa had coolly and NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

The r.i isoner, who treated the case with perfect indiffer ence, pleaded not guilty. The facts connected with the case have been fully re ported. The prisoner, being a deserter, had been placed in confinement, and in the guard-room seized an iron bar and inflicted injuries on the head of the deceased, his supe rior officer, from the effects of which he died. At the conclusion of the evidence for the prosecution, Mr. Metcalfe addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, so as to reduce the crime to that of manslaughter. The learned judge having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder with a recommendation to mercy. The learned Judge then assuming the black cap, in solemn form passed the sentence of death, intimating he could hold out no hopes of mercy, but would send the re commendation to the proper quarter. The prisoner bowed, smiled, and left the dock, and will be taken back to Maidstone to-night. 31. FRANCOIS DEAR. A letter from Presburg in the Presse gives the following sketch of M. Desk : "Francois Deak, who was born in 1805, is the son of a country gentleman; his mother died in childbed, and his father very shortly after. It was his brother Antoine, his senior by 20 years, who brought him up. He displayed in early youth considerable natural talent. His conversa tion was animated ; of a rare purity of manners, he ob served the most delicate reserve when in the presence of ladies, without, however, carrying it to the extent of pm dell- His corpulency, which makes him appear shorter than he really is, his rough hair, his low but ample brow, a short straight pointed nose, a long chin, a thick moustache almost wholly covering the lip, and large ruddy cheeks, altogether give him a vulgar appearance. But when he speaks and is animated, his countenance becomes lighted up with the spark of intelligence; his eyes are bright, and his smile is ironical but not bitter. At five o'clock in the morning M. Deak is sure to be seen commencing his long walk dressed with scrupulous neatness, with a black coat and white waistcoat, and carrying a large cane. He is a declared enemy to all unnecessary labour—a letter from him is as rare as it is precious. But it is only at intervals that he indulges in this love of repose. In 1841 and 1843 we have seen him at work lying on his back, for 10 hours out of the 24, drawing up the cri • minal code, and that going on without rot Arunt cia T so day. His evenings are passed at the Cos cle, smoking and de lighting his friends by his brilliant and animated conversa tion. In the Chamber, where he keeps himself aloof from party intrigues, he speaks little, but never without produc ing a great sensation. If attacked, he replies with bitter ness and violence. His arguments are overpowering; he does not amuse himself with flowers of rhetoric, and never quits the field until he has overthrown his enemy. His voice is not pleasing, being harsh and husky. He is cruelly positive and irresistible. He is, however, afflicted with a real infirmity ; to listen to platitudes even for a very short time' gives him a frightful headache. One of the most noble traits in his character is his straightforwardness. Thus the people call him " the just one"—neither more nor less than Aristides. In 1843 the Government determined to defeat his election at any price ; his friends thought it right to use the same weapons, and a combat unequalled in Parliamentary annals followed. He came off with the honours of war, but soon afterwards resigned, as he would not sanction any corruption by his example. In 1848 he formed part of the Ministry of Count Batthyani for the de partment of Jutice, and the Diet deputed him, in company with the count and the Bishop Souvasis, to go to the camp of Marshal Windischgraetz to attempt a last arrangement with Austria. The prince did not receive them, as he would not treat with rebels. Count Batthyani was put under arrest, and the two other deputies of the Diet trades the sur veillance of the police. Deak could not, therefore, follow the Hungarian Government to Debreczin, and he remained at Pesth during the War of Independenhe. At the time of the Bach Ministry full powers were offered to him for the organisation of justice. Great embarrassment existed between the abolished Hungarian laws and the unpopular Austrian code. Deak frankly refused to assist the foreign Administration, and continued to lead a solitary and retired life at Pesth on an annuity which he received from the Szechenyi family, in payment for estates which he had sold them. At the present Diet, some agents of the revolutiOnary party, being jealous of an eloquence capable of eclipsing even that of Kossuth, endeavoured to raise a suspicion of his wish for a reconciliation with Aus tria at any price. The majority remained firm for a moment, but his first address, disfigured by the Vivady amendment, was unanimously re-established, and the second enthusias • tically accepted, as )ou are aware." HORSE-,STEALING IN ALGERIA. The Arab who is projecting a masterstroke, an 2 intends selecting the handsomest out of a thousand steeds, usually comes in the course of the day to iTpect the bivouac, although he is obliged to make his preliminary observations from a distance—from a very considerable distance it may be. The natives in fact are allowed to penetrate easily into the middle of an encampment, but they are almost uawa j . of the expeditionary columns, such as camel-drivers, herdsmen, and packhorse leaders, who have been hired for the transport of provisions. In the latter case the Arab thief will be mistaken for one of the men employed ; he will take good care that no one shall see him enter. His choice made, the rogue disappears till night. In order to return to the middle of the bivouac, he habitually divests himself of every item of clothing, and retains no other arm than a well-sharpened knife in a leather sheath slung with a strap across his body. He is also provided with a long rope of camel's hair, which is twisted round his head like a turban. As soon as he has passed the first sentries the thief is meta morphosed into a serpent ; he crawls on continually , without hurry, without noise, without any percep tible rustling. With his eyes fixed on the living objects whom he wishes to avoid, he stops short if he perceives in the sentinels the slightest sign that their attention has been attracted. He will take three hours if need be to clear a distance of 100 yards. At last he gets near the coveted object, the horse intended to be stolen, There, his movements are more deliberate than ever in order not to frighten the animal, who must not be allowed, for several minutes, to perform any but very natural motions, capable of deceiving the eye of the most vigilant sentinel. At first he cuts the shackles with which the horse's fore feet are tied together, he fastens his rope to one of the horse's feet and retires, crawling all the while, as far as the length of the rope allows him. The distance between himself and the animal then varies from 12 to 15 feet. If during these pre parations the horsekeepers appear to have heard any noise, the thief again remains motionless ; the horse remaining quiet, and the sentinels resum• ing their former tranquillity, the process of steal ing is continued. The Arab slightly pulls the rope ; solicited by this mute appeal, the horse rises and sets a step; but the movement is so per fectly similar to that which the animal is in the habit of making when he wants to reach a wisp of hay or a blade of grass a little way off the stake to which he is fastened, that, by night, nine sentinels out of ten would be deceived. The robber repeats the same manceuvre as long as possible. As he has carefully studied the ground he will continue it while no alarm is given ; but generally, once out of the immediate reach of the men whose duty it is to keep special watch over the stolen horse, he leaps on the animal's back and sets off at full gallop, well knowing that gun-shots by night are only d angerous for the comrades of those who fire them. Sometimes the thief covers his entire person with leaves, but he will commit no such foolish act in a country denuded of shrubs, and bushes. On naked ground tie is as naked as a snake ; in a b us h y country he transforms himself Into a living b us h ; i n s h or t, he assimilates his person to the aspect of the country he is traversing.—All the Year Round.

DOWSON'S TIMBER WHARF. — Yesterday afternoon, at about five o'clock, as the engineer of Messrs.
