NON_BY :MAIZE:ET AND CITY :NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Bank of England return completed to the 6th of February, is again of a very satisfactory character. The stock of bullion has been increased by nearly a quarter of a million sterling, while the reserve of notes has been strengthened to a similar extent. In the other securities there is a diminu tion of about a quarter of a million, and the public deposits show considerably over half a million, while the private deposits has been diminished to about a like amount. In the other items of the balance-sheet the changes are of an unimportant character; they will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. .. £19,879,235 Decrease .. .. • • • • 106,225 Bullion • • • .. 11,832,836 Rest lncrease .. 3, 2 48 1 5 5, ,7 2 9 206 Increase .. • • • • • • 114,967 Public Deposits 4,186,479 Increase .. .. 605,032 Other Deposits 11 9' , 7 130 Decrease .. . . 659,909 Seven Day and other Bills .. 655,381 Increase .. 21,953 Government Securities 8 444 776 , , Decrease 2 654 Other Securities 19 931 408 Decrease .. 286,748 Notes Unemployed .. .. 5,609,080 Increase .. .. 276,880 There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday.

(Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.) LIFE ASSOCIATION OF SCOTLAND V. SIDDAL.-COOPER V. This case came before the Court on two appeals. The first was from an order of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, refusing with costs the claims of the assignees of John Simmonds, under a fiat of bankruptcy varying the Chief Clerk's certificate. The other was an order made on further consideration in Cooper v. Green. Their lordships were 6f opinion that Mrs. Simmonds' claim, under the will of file late 'William Spence, who died in 1799, to one-fourth share in the sum of £6,300 assigned to her by the certificate of the Life Association of Scotland was not barred by knowledge or acquiescence in the alleged illegal acts of the trustees acting for her before she attained the age of 21. That on her marriage her in terest passed to her husband, and on his death to his as signees. They, therefore, discharged the order of the Vice-Chancellor, and substituted one order in both ap. peals, and declared accordingly with costs. This was an adjourned summons, complaining of the finding of the chief clerk with respect to a certain arrears of an annuity. The question raised was whether the Statute of Limitations bars the personal representatives from recovering those arrears after the lapse of six years. His• Honour said, as the annuity was given to trustees to hold for the cestinque trust, it came under the excep tion of the 25th sec., and the Statute of Limitations did not exclude the claim for arrears. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(77cis Day). FOUR CHARGES AGAINST ONE MAN.—George Dawson, a carman, residing at 44, Carlisle-street, Lisson-grove, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk, furiously driving and damaging a cab, 11,457, to the extent of 305., and assaulting George Jewell, 38 D, and George Mitchell, 103 D. John Bott, cab driver, 9,160, said while on the footboard of his cab, in Oxford- street, the previous evening, lighting his lamps, prisoner drove up violently behind his oab, knocked him off his cab into the road, damaging the axle tree, and causing the wheel to come off. The prisoner then drove off, but getting on a Hanson cab he pursued and overtook him. The damage done to the cab was 10s. Prisoner was drunk. George Jewell, 38 D, proved taking the prisoner into cus tody and being thrown by him out of the cart.' Another constable came to his assistance, and on the way to the station prisoner said he would give him " a - domino," tripped him up, and tried to kick him in a delicate part of his person. On getting him into Marylebone-lane, prisoner got him down and struck and kicked him several times, and also his brother constable about the legs and body. The prisoner's violence was so great that it required five persons to take him into custody. George Mitchell, 103 D, proved being kicked and struck several times by the prisoner ; and Robert Parkinson, hac, m ney carriage attendant, confirmed the evidence, also stating that prisoner's conduct was very violent. A representative of the prisoner's employer gave him an itherto good character. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a very bad case, and such con duct must be marked. For the furious driving he should fine him 40s. ; £1 10s. for the damage; and 20s. for each of the assaults on the constables. BRITISH POSSESSIONS. Paid.

The racing season being now about to commence, the advertising prophets have resumed active' operations. We advise those who wish to speculate on the turf to follow the advice of the writers for the sporting papers. What knowledge can a cos termonger living in the precincts of Newgate-mar ket, or a street hawker in Lambeth-walk or the New eut, have about the intentions of owners of race horses. They may know that diseased meat is some times sold and seized in the one and that pickpockets abound in the others, and no doubt their informa tion ends here. It makes no difference which horse wins a large handicap, as the next day their adver tisements are sure to be headed " Glorious success !" " Right again !" " Show my circular to your friends." " Send per centage or I will scratch your name from my list"—although, out of the whole of the horses sent to their subscribers, they did not name even one of the first twelve in the race. If any of our readers are " picked up" by this fraternity after this caution they have only themselves to blame. If the advertising tips know of such " good things," how is it they do not keep their secrets and realise large fortunes for them selves ? The following judicious remarks and extracts from the Racing Times will be read with interest : THE ADVENT OF THE TIPS. The tips have broken out in great force since the api ear ance of the acceptances for the spring handicaps, and they are as mendacious as usual, and spiced more than usual. It is amusing to read the phraseology adopted by these lights of the turf, and we subjoin a few of the parties that we have strung from the published list. Harkforward informs the sporting world : " Having given no less than a hundred and twenty winners during the past racing season, his own bona fide selections, as also thirty-eight who ran second, and twenty that ran third, of which undoubted fact he refers the public to his Table of winners. " " Having given" this information, the reader is left to form his own inference with regard to it, as " the tip" in question evidently thinks it unnecessary to suggest it himself. IV. Goodwyn announces that the "sources from whence he obtains his information are unrivalled. His immense success is well-known to thJusands, and requires no idle puff I" and consequently, as he requires no idle puff, he goes on modestly to say— " From his connection with the principal stables, and extensive means of procuring the best information, all who follow his advice are certain to be brilliant winners. It is an acknowledged and well-known fact that a fortune cannot be made by backing without thoroughly good and success ful advice ; indeed, a backer of horses constantly requires the assistance of a competent and experienced adviser, who can detect 'dead uns ' (there was a precious lot of them last season), and is in a position to learn, and that quickly too, the result of all the important trials, also whether the right money is going on, &c." This is a funny specimen of what a tipster considers is no "idle puff." The same individual adds : " No change—stick to my selections—we shall win as easily as we did last season, and by investing freely you may realise a fortune." We have no doubt they will win just as 9asily—in fact, in precisely the same way. Another vaticinator gives a list of the winners of all the great races for the last 10 years, which, by a singular coin cidence, are the very horses he sent in his circular. There, however, is a discrepancy in this individual's announce ments, because he invariably announces in his advertise ments, just previous to such races as the Liverpool Chase, the Two Thousand Guineas, Chester Cup, Derby, and Oaks, and other great races, that his selections are then at 66 to 1 or some such preposterous odds, and therefore it naturally follows, if his statements are to be credited, that all those great races, for years past, have been won by rank outsiders. Henry Field (no relation, we presume, to the detective and spy), informs the world that-- "Every one anxious to make money, every one who in , tends to book a bet, should subscribe at once. The infer illation upon all races is first-hand, exclusive, and certain, and always issued in time to get long prices." This is another seer who inferentially proclaims that no favourite ever wins. Another worthy is indeed bold in his declarations, for he thus publicly proclaims "DUNDEE MUST LOSE! Fairplay has just received some important private information; feels confident it is coining money to bet against Dundee for the Derby; he cannot get even placed. You will find the right parties anxious to bet against him. Try my Derby outsider. " Try his Derby outsider; why, is he to be cut up in steaks, then ? The same advertiser also announecs— " WRY DUNDEE CANNOT WlN.—This important secret can be known by any gentleman who will pledge his honour not to disclose it." Of course this mast be a secret worth knowing ; but then how can that be a secret which is open to any one who will Fend a stamped envelope ? From one advertisement that has appeared it would seem, supposing its statements to be true, that in every training stable in the country there is a traitor, and that all their communications and treachery go towards the west. Here is the advertisement : " Henry West did not send the winner of every race las' year, as some 'prophets' profess to have done, but the success which attended the majority of his selections enabled all who acted on his advice to win large stakes. H. W. would impress on those who intend speculating on the turf the importance of having genuine, reliable, and, above all, early intelligence of what transpires in racing - quarters, whether as regards merits, conditions, or inten tions ; this Henry West is confident of being able to afford his subscribers, as the extended arrangements he has been, during the recess, engaged in effecting, will en sure his being immediately apprised of every movement of importance which may take place in any training stable." Here is plenty of advice gratis, even in the advice that is intended for sale. A new system of making an enormous fortune in less than no time is thus promulgated : " £1,500 A YEAR.—The advertiser has discovered a most wonderful secret, whereby the above sum may be made annually by merely backing horses for about £5 each, An enormous sum would have been won during the past eight years. In fact, the system is so sound it cannot fail to prove very profitable. It will be imparted to a gentleman gratis unless the above facts can be proved by the Calen dars, and he is quite satisfied it can be carried out, though a reference will be required." There is a good deal of obscurity in the last paragraph, but probably that is intentional. Then comes a metaphysical philosopher, for he pro claims : " WANT OF MONEY WANT OF COMFORT.—George I Foster hit the nail on the head by sending the winners of 1 t h e pr i nc ip a l handicaps iu 1860, Rix oulacribers may THAMES. AVENGING A HUSBAND'S QUARREL—Ann Donovan, a little Irish woman, was brought before Mr. Selfe eharged with assaulting and wounding Michael M'Carthy, who appeared in court with his head bandaged, and his clothes saturated with gore. _ It appeared that McCarthy and the prisoner's husband quarrelled on Thursday night, and from words proceeded to blows, and that McCarthy beat his countryman about the head and body with a quart mug, and injured him severely. Donovin went home to his wife and complained that Mike M'Carthy bad kilt him quite, en which Mrs. Donovan made a vow that she would be revenged on Mike wherever and whenever she met with him. She laid wait for her countryman until yesterday afternoon when she met him in Wapping, and commenced " ballyragging him," and called him a " murJering villain." She also applied other epithets to the complainant, and then proceeded to attack him in a violent manner with a large stone she held in her hand, and with which she pummelled him about the head, inflicting divers cuts and contusions. One wound was described by a Thames police-constable, who apprehended th e prisoner, to be a very severe one. It was a jagged wound from which the blood flowed copiously and had been dressed by a surgeon. Mrs. Donovan justified the attack she made on " Mike," and said he had "kilt and murthered" her husband. Mr. Selfe—What 1 Is he dead ? Mrs. Donovan = No, yer honner's wortehip, but he's kilt quite, and his obliged to keep his bed. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner had no business to interfere in the men's quarrels or avenge the injuries her husband had received, in the way she had done.—He sentenced her to pay a fine of 40s. RESCUE OF A THIEF, AND FURIOUS ATTACK ON A POLICE-CONSTABLE. —Thomas Reading, a well-known Keate-street thief, from Spitalfields, and connected with a lawless gang there, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with attempting to pick pockets, and with assaulting Francis Kelly, No. 130 H. Yesterday afternoon Deeble, a police-constable, who was in plain clothes, saw. the prisoner in Cable-street, White chapel, following sailore, , and attempting to pick their pockets.' The prisoner was about to draw a handkerchief from the pocket of a mariner, when Deeble pounced upon him and took him into custody. The prisoner tripped up the constable and ran away into a public-house. Deeble pursued him, and, after a long and desperate struggle, secured him. A second charge was made against the prisoner by Kelly, 130 H, who stated that between eleven and twelve o'clock on the morning of Saturday, the 2d instant, he apprehended a Keate-street thief in a public-house in Backchurch-lane, Whitechapel, for stealing a watch. An immediate attack was made upon him by two other thieves who forced the prisoner from him. He re , captured the fellow and put him into oze of the compartments in front of the bar, and closed a door upon him, The prisoner called out " rouse, rouse," a slang term used by thieves, meaning to rescue, and he was immediately surrounded by desperate thieves from Lower Keate-street, and a savage attack was made upon him by the prisoner and others. A pannel was broken and the door forced open, and the man who stole the watch was rescued. He was severely injured in the affray, and the prisoner and his companions made their escape. Several former convictions against the prisoner were proved, and Mr. Selfe said he was a most dangerous cha racter, and sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour.

(Conti ?-ed from The Sun of yesterday.) Mathew Matthews said—l am in the employ of the South Western Railway as guard. I have been so since 1851, On Monday the 28th I was guard to the 5.10 train from "Waterloo to Portsmouth. I started it. Cooke was the engine-driver, Robinson the fireman. It started at 11 minutes past five. It ;was an express train, and the first stoppage would be at Guildford. Nothing occurred until after we passed Wimbledon station. I perceived there the " all-right" signal. I should think we were going about twenty-six miles an hour. As I passed the pointsman I saw one of the carriages jump ing. It seemed to rise and then turn. I then applied the break and was holding it as tight as I could. The next thing that came to my knowledge was that I found myself on the roof of one of the carriages on the embankment to the left side. I got up as soon as I was able, and get out through the van window, and ran back to the pointsman, took the policeman's lamp up, and proceeded up the line towards London, and put down three detonating sig- nals, and waved the lamp, which showed a red light, to stop the 5.15 train from London. The train came and stopped. I went back to the Epsom junction, and took the fireman with me. I found there were several carriages down the bank and five carriages standing on the line. There was a carriage lying across the line on its side. I saw when the carriage was lighted up a man taken from under it. I saw nothing before I sa* the carriage rise. I cannot say which carriage it was, but I think it was one near the tender. The break had passed the Epsom junction signal about a yard. I saw both the auxiliary signal lamps alight. lam positive the lamps were alight. There can be no mistake about it. I had had no occasion to slacken the speed of the train after we passed Wimbledon station, until the accident occurred. By Mr. Johnston—We often pass the Wimbledon station at 30 miles an hour, The train in which the accident oc curred passed that station at about 25 riles an hour. By Captain Yolland—There was a connection between the guard and the engine-driver of the train. The driver did not whistle, to my recollection, before the accident occurred. I don't say he did not do it, but I did not hear it. John Robinson—l am a fireman in the service of the South-Western Railway Company. On Monday, the 28th, I was on the 5.10 express to Portsmouth. Matthews started the train. The tender is attached to the engine by three couplings ; my duty is to screw the engine and tender on to the train. It is the driver's duty to see the engine and tender are proi,erly coupled. After passing y 4 imble • don I noticed the signals were all right. After passing the pointsman at the junction I 'felt a sudden jerk from the train, such as would be caused by a sudden application of a guard's break, or some carriage off the line. At the same time I heard two half-smothered whistles from the engine. On looking round I saw two carriages off the line. The two next to the tender. At the same time I looked round, and then the tender jumped off. I was going to place my hand on the break, and foot on the footplate, when the engine broke from the:tender. I hung on by the engine, and there I stuck, I assure you. (Laughter.) The engine was stopped at New Maldon. Immediately after the accident I put the danger signals in front of the engine. It was my light that stopped the up-train at Malden. It was not booked to stop there. It was entirely owing to seeing my danger lights. I don't know what could have caused the carriages next the tender to go off the line. By Capt. Yolland—We were running at our usual speed Coroner.—What might that be ? Witness—About 24 or 25 miles an hour passing the junction. At this point of the inquiry it was adjourned until 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning. THIS DAYS MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

The India Five per Cent. Loan of £3,000,000 was contracted yesterday with much more success than had been anticipated. The minimum price fixed by the Council was 981, and it appeared that there were biddings for a little over £6,000,000 at and above that point, while there were also applications on lower terms for about £7,000,000 more. The biddings at the exact minimum were £636,900. For the original £5,000,000 India Five per Cents. contracted on August 23, 1859, the minimum price was only 97, and the main proportion of the tenders, which were not greatly in excess of the required sum, ranged between 97 and 974. Yet Consols were then as high as 95a, Considering that an addition of £3,079,030 has in the interval been made to this stock by its substitution for a like amount of India Bonds, the result yesterday muse be regarded as a remarkable proof of the manner in which, in contrast with Consols, it ha 3 found. favour with the general public. After the announce ment regarding the completion of the loan, the price of tho stock experienced a rapid rise. It closed on Thursday at 99, and went yesterday afternoon to 101 k, closing at 1008 to 4. The detailed exa mination of the tenders was conducted at the Bank of England, and the letters of allotment were issued to-day from that establishment. Among the tenders was one from Messrs. Rothschild for about a million at 981. There was one exceptional bid. at par. SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE IRADE. A deputation of noblemen and gentlemen waited on Lord Palmerston yesterday, at his house, 94, Piccadilly, to urge the appointment of a Special High Commissioner to treat with the King of Dahomey for the suppression of the slave trade, and. for that of a resident consul at Abbeokuta. Memo- rials to that effect were presented to the noble viscount. Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, said that he received the deputation with very great pleasum, because he felt fully the great importance of the subject on which they had come to him, and because he was glad to find that subject taken up by so influen tial a body as that represented by the depu tation. The first great question was that which relates to the supply of cotton. It is evident that our supply from America is precarious, and as yet our manufacturers have relied entirely upon that one source for their supply. He had long thought that the coast of Africa would, if proper encouragement were given, be able to supply as much coition as we could want. But in order that this should be, we must begin by entirely extirpat ing the slave trade. Many people imagined that lawful commerce would extinguish slave trade, but the reverse is the fact, slave trade extinguishes lawful commerce—wemust put an end to llave trade. The chiefs on the African coast derive direct profit by selling slaves, and only an indirect profit from law ful trade ; but they do not sell their own people, but make war on their neighbours to take pri soners whom they sell. Much has been accom- plished towards the suppression of the slave trade. The slave trade in Brazil hag ceased; 60,000 or i*c 41cree, vic .):2 70,000 slaves used to be landed in tra'zil, and. each of those slaves represented at least t;ms of the violence committed in Afriev,, and o f the miseries of the inland journey and the sea pas sage. The Government needs all the support which associations such as this can give it for its assistance in labouring to accomplish the extinction of the remaining slave trade, and if that were done an immense supply of cotton, as well as other valuable commodities, would be obtained from Africa. Lord John Russell entertained the same feelirgs as himself upon the subject, and he was sure that Lord Sohn would favourably consider any practical suggestion which the deputation might make to him on the matter on which they had now dilated. At the conclusion of the interview the deputation waited on Lord John Russell at his official residence in Downing-street, when the same memorials wer e presented. Lord ALFRED CHURCHILL, who introduced the deputation, said it would hardly be necessary for him to dwell very strongly upon the necessity which existed at present for obtaining new sources of supply of cotton for this country. The society of which he had the honour of being a member—the African Aid Society—had directed its attention to the opening out of the vast country at Abbeo kuta ; it contained 1')0,000 inhabitants ; its walls were 20 miles in circumference, and its kings and chiefs were ready and willing to receive civiliqa tion, and one of them termed himself the friend of civilisation. There was a newspaper too actually published in Abbeokuta, written in the lan guage of the country, although it had a supplement in English. The district extended inland for seve ral hundreds of miles, and was the natural land where cotton grew. They believed that by ap pointing a British consul in that neighbourhood they would give a great encouragement to legiti mate commerce, as it would show them that they were under some kind of protection. This would promote the migration of the natives of Canada„ which would tend towards the eventual annihila tion of the slave trade. As this country could produce so large an amount of cotton, it must materially influence in depreciating the American market, and consequently the value of slave labour in the United States would decrease in proportion. Mr. CLEGG said the cotton produced in Africa. was the best that could be grown, and could be landed in Liverpool at a much less price than that of America. He thought, therefore, that every facility and encouragement should be given for the development of free Trade in that country. After remarks from Mr. Benner, Mr, Partridge, Sir Culling Eardley, Mr. Consul Hanson, and Mr. Allright, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, in reply, he need hardly say that he concurred in the general obser vations, and, above all, in the general object they had in view ; but, as it had been observed by Sir Culling Eardley, this matter must at present be considered as a germ. Great efforts had been made by this country, at considerable cost, with a view to the suppression of the slave trade, and they must always recollect that efforts had been made in other directions, under the sanction of the various. Powers, to endeavour to keep it up. With re gard to the appointment of a consul, the cotton district of Abbeokuta was a very good province, and it was very gratifying to find that palm oil and various other productions had so considerably increased for some years past; and if the appoint ment of a consul could promote the interests of its commerce, the Foreign Office would inquire into the particulars respecting it. They were obliged to look with a view to the public service, and the various reasons and regulations by which we are generally bound ; but supposing there was no objection to that course, he should certainly be most happy to fall in with their views. With regard to the King of Dahomey, he was sorry to it was not the single obstacle. They found in several parts of Africa that efforts were made to carry on slavery. But that was only a part of the question, and with regard to the general question he should be most happy to assist them- Perhaps they would believe him when he said if in any way he could make the smallest advan ce towards t he extinction of the slave trade he should be meat happy to do so. (Cheers.) The deputation thenked his l or dship, and then. withdrew. F. Cl TILE BLUE -BOOK.

In the f de claration of Count Cavour that the King's Govern re totally unable to control General Gari braaeindi, 7: Mr. Elliot's account of his interview with him on board the Hannibal, and in the subsequent notices of his conduct up to his retirement to Caprera, we trace the same enthusiastic, generous, loyal, uncompromising, and unstatesmanlike tem perament, the same pliability of judgment and the same visionary projects. It appears that when at Messina he had proposed to the Kin; of Naples to accept the Viceroyship of his own k ing d om un d er Victor Emmanuel. On his arrival at Naples "he intended," he said, " to push on at once to Rome, and when that city should be in his hands to offer the Crown of an United Italy to King 'Victor Em manuel, and upon whom would then devolve the task of the liberation of Venetia, and in which he would himself be but the lieutenant of his Majesty." He avowed his intention of raising the Hungarians against Austria, assuring Mr. Elliot that Great Britain would find in the friendship o f Italy a noble compensation for the loss of an anci(!rit ally, while he " did not make less light of Pram ;e than he had been doing of Austria.' There s something amusing in this abrupt communication, flung, as it were, into the midst of a decorous el arrespondencu between Ministers and Ambassta ors.
