MONEY MARK ET AND CITY NEWS. ---11` CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Continued firmness is perceptible in the general discount market, and the demand is steadily main tained. The withdrawal of sovereigns for America is rendering capitalists exceedingly reserved, as it is by no means improbable that the movement may be kept up, and ultimately necessitate further restrictive measures. A meeting has been convened of the proprietors of the London Chartered Bank of Australia for the 17th proximo, for the declaration of a dividend, 8:c. The second call of £5 per silare must be paid on or before the Ist of July next. The annual meeting of the African Steam Ship Company will take place on the sth of June next. About £4,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday, but 60,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for America. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited a further slight advance. Gold is now about 7-10ths per cent. cheaper in Paris and Hamburg than in London. A large amount of business was reported in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were rather higher. The sales were estimated at 15,000 bales. The Tagus has arrived from Lisbon with £3,000 in specie. The market for Public Securities opened with an, improved appearance, but unfavourable advices re lative to Syria caused a reactionary tendency, and Consols, which have been 91t, 3 for money, and 91Z- 92 for account,are now 911 t, and 911 respec tively. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 89t 4 ; the New 21 per Cents. have re ceded to 76 ; Bank Stock has advanced to 2334 - ; and India 5 per Cent. to 101 1 ; Exchequer Bills are Gs. dis. Rather more business has been recorded in Foreign Securities.

The transactions in the Railway Share Market has been of a very limited character, hut, in several instances, prices have shown more buoyancy. Great Northern, South Western, and North-Eastern (Leeds) have advanced 55., and Great Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire 10s. ; Eastern Counties and West Midland have declined 55., and Mid land 10s. In. the Foreign and Colonial undertakings the dealings were of an unimportant character, without any material alteration in prices. Speculative sales, however, have since been effected to some extent in several of the principal British lines, and a down- Ward movement has taken place to the extent of per cent. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are eat. London and Westminster have declined 10s., and Bank of Australasia 15s. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank stock 3 per Cent.

OPENING OF TRINITY TERM. Trinity term opened this morning, without the customary breakfast at the Lord Chancellor's. Owing to the short ness of the vacation there were no motions of any conse queue° in any of the courts. COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.) APPEALS-EMPEROR OP AUSTRIA V. DAY AND xossunr. These are appeals by the defendants to dissolve an abso lute injunction obtained by the Emperor of Austria from Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart restraining the defendants from printing and circulating notes purporting to be State or Bank mites of the kingdom of Hungary. Mr. Rouladell Palmer, Q.C., is now being heard for the appellant Kossuth. The learned counsel, after fully stating the facts of the case, adverted to the authorities in support of his arguments. It is probable the arguments will extend over several days. The intense interest excited by this important case is not in the least diminished. The court is well attendee_ with persons anxious to hear the arguments. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. The Lord Chief Justico, JusticeslVightman, Crompton, and Blackburn took their seats shortly after ten o'clock. PAINE V. REVENS. Mr. Sergeant Parry showed cause against a rule obtained last term by Mr. Chambers. The plaintiff called upon Captain Revens, and had some conversation with him about a horse and chaise, which he eventually sold to him. It was alleged by Captain Revenr 3 that Paine told him he knew somebody who would buy the horse and chaise, and that he could refer to some one whom he knew for his character. Soon after he had allowed Paine to have the articles he gave him in custody on the ground that he had obtained them by false pretences, but the magistrates dis missed the charge. Paine brought an action and obtained a verdict, upon which the rule for a new trial was moved for. The rule was made absolute on payment of costs. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. The Lord Chief Baron, Baren Bramwell, and Baron Channel', took their seats at ten o'clock. BEST V. HUGHES. 'I he Lord Chief Baron said, that in this case, one of slander, Mr. Seymour, Q.C., obtained a rule nisi for a new trial on the last day of term. The action was brought for the use of certain words—thief being one of them—and the defendant said that he did not use the words, although he did use words something like them of a different import. The jury found a verdict for the defendant, and Mr. Sey mour applied for a new trial on the ground that some col lateral matter had been introduced, arising out of a con versation with the attorney's el erk. lle (the Lord Chief Baron) considered that no special damage had been done to the plaintiff, the remark having been made only in the presence of his wife and shopman. It was impossible to lay down any general rule in such cases, but in this case he thought there should not be a new trial. The other Judges concurred, and the rule was refused. THE REV. MR. HATCH'S CASE. This morning the Rev. Henry John Hatch, who on the sittings after last tarm obtained a verdict against Messi-s. Lewis and Lewis, his attorneys, for negligence in conduct ing his case (when he was indicted at the Central Criminal Court), attended the Court in company with Mr. Holt, his solicitor, and other gentlemen, and had a lengthened con sultation with Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., the rev. gentleman's counsel. It is the intention of Mr. Hatch through Mr. Chambers to move the Court for a new trial on the ground that, although the verdict was in his favour, it ought to have been accompanied with substantial da mages when the charge of negligence was proved to the satisfaction of the jury. The 40s. awarded by the jury does not entitle the rev. gentleman to costs unless upon a certi ficate from the Lord Chief Baron who tried the case. It is understood that the application for the new trial will be made to-morrow morning. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) GURNEY V. GURNEY AND TAYLOR. The Solicitor-General this morning applied to the court to make the rule nisi, which had been granted in this suit, absolute, as the period within which opposition was to have been entered—viz,, three months—had expired. The learned Judge accordingly made the rule for disso lution of marriage in this case absolute. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT-AUSTEN Y. MARTEN. This was an amicable suit to ascertain whether the de fendant had given a good title, or could give a better title to the plaintiff, to the property purchased by him from the defendant. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant could give him a better title to the property than the title offered. The defendant answered that he had given to the plaintiff the best title that he could give. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judg ment, was of opinion that as the Lords Justices had refused to appoint new trustees to carry out the purposes of the trust, and as the legal and equitable estate merged, and was vested in the defendant, the title ofered by him to the plaintiff was a good and valid title to the property, and de clared accordingly without costs. Hit Honour dismissed the plaintiff's bill simpliciter. JUDGMENT.-AIREY V. ECREHAM. This was a suit for a dissolution of amedical partnership in the West-end, and return of the balmee of the premium (£lOO out of £400) paid by the plaintiff to the defendant on the ground of misrepresentation of the profits of the de fendant's medical business. The plaintiff alleged that on becoming a partner he was to have a third share of the profits of the lusiness, estimated at £6,000 a-year. His Honour, the Master of the Robs, on considering the evidence produced, was of opitiion bat the plaintiff had failed to prove his allegations, and declared the partnership dissolved as of this day without costs on either side, and directed an account of the profits of the partnership to be taken, and recommended that if the piffles were wise they would settle their differences themselvs, and not bring their disputes again before him. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Ken.) PUBLIC BALLS iiND LOST PROPERTY-FORDRAM v. SALTER. This was au action to recover £2 10s., the value of a coat and contents lost at a ball at Salter's Hotel. The plaintiff was called by Mr. Crey, and said that he attended a ball at Salter's Hotel in January last. Gave his Inverness cape to a waiter, and received a ticket with the number. At the termination of the night's festivities the coat was not to be found. Cross-examined by Mr. Hind--The coat was a new one. In the pocket was a street door key, a pair of gloves, and a pocket handkerchief. The ball wes got up by a philan thropic society to assist the poor cluing the late inclement weather. Bought the ticket for the ball at a public-house. Saw a bill in the window of the public-house at which my ticket was purchased, notifying the fact that my coat had been " lost or stolen." Mr. Hind contended that Mr. Salter could not be made liable in such a ease as this. The waiter took the coat and gave up a ticket, but was not in the ser vice of Mr Salter for such a duty. He was not engaged to take care of coats, and surely the Ices could not be charged to defendant. Again it had not been shown that the plain tiff gave the waiter anything for his trouble in taking care of the coat. His Honour—There was no bailment. Mr. Hind—Just so. The hall at the hotel was hired by a philanthropic society for a ball, and the waiters gave tickets for the coats and hats. Plaintiff-1 meant to give the waiter something when I received my coat. If he were not responsible, of what use was the ticket ? His Honour—Had you given the waiter a halfpenny with the coat there would have been some consideration. As it is I do not see how you can make the defendant or the waiter liable. To make the defendant liable you will have to show agency, and that you have not done. Upon this decision plaintiff elected to be nonsuited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGII-STREET. SERUMS ANNOYANCE. -- Fanty Price, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the complainant. Mr. Henry Charles Curlewis, a master tailor, of 55, Con duit-street, said the prisoner's husband had been in his em ploy about 10 "years, and was a very respectable man, but he was sorry to say that the prisoner was a woman of a very drunken character. Yesterday she came to his place of business very drunk, and on his entering the workshop, where several men were employed, he found her fighting with her husband and several of the workmen, and throw ing the whole place into the greatest disorder. He had seriously to complain of the annoyance he suffered from her for about four years, as every time she got drunk, which was very frequently the case, ahe created a disturbance, and wasee only months for annoying him.collected a crowd round his house. Sh e use d v ery threa teningjust liberated from prison, whore e slhaneghuaadgbe,eeanndfor three r Prisoner said she thought it better to bo in prison than to be about the streets. Her husband allowed her nothing. Mr. Curlewis said that was not true. Mr. Tyrwhitt, referring to the charge sheet, said she was charged with being drunk, and ho could only deal with her for that. She ought to have been charged with assault. He should fine her 10s. or one week, and if she came again she would have three months. Prisoner said she would rather have the three months. THE GALWAY SUBSIDY. --GALWAY, Tuesday.— A meeting of the inhabitants of .Galway was held to-day, when a memorial to the Lord Lieutenant was unanimously adopted. A communication was read from his Excellency, stating that he would receive the deputation on Thursday morning. The Rev. P.

Fine samples were mostly disposed of at full prices. Otherwise the trade was in a sluggish state, and the quotations had a downward tendency. The show of foreign wheat was large, and sales pro gressed heavily in all descriptions, at barely previous cur rencies. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, and in some instances prices ruled somewhat easier. Barley was in limited supply and steady roquest, at full quotations. Malt changed hands to a fair extent, and prices were well supported. Oats however moved off heavily, at a decline of quite 6d, in some instances is per qr. Beans brought quite Monday's currency; but peas were a slow inquiry on former terms. The flour trade was dull, and American barrels were ob tainable at lower prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mille prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.40 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold Is about 7-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark, and the short exchange on London i5::13.61 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 7-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 104 i to 105 per cent, which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England. But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States. A RELIC OF THE DEEP.—Alwin S. Bell, A.B.A.A.,•in a letter, dated Scarborough, May 20, says : —" A highly interesting relic of bygone days was recently fished up In the trawling net of the smack Vigilant, of Hull, near the Goodwin Sands. It consists of a large Roman vase of remarkably strong earthenware, 2ft. Gin. in height, and sft. 9in. in circumference, having two handles and a round bottom; it has evidently been intended when used to be slung. When first brought up it presented an extraordinary spectacle, being completely covered with sea weed, oyster, and mussel shells, together with a deep and very beautiful coating of corallines. Unlike the vase fished up by the fisherman in the " Arabian Nights," it was not corked or sealed with the seal of Solomon, nor yet did any genie emerge from it; but may it not, from its capacity, holding 16 gallons, and the place where it was found, have been used to hold a supply of water for one of the galleys of the Roman squadron before the birth of Christ ?" THE GREAT FIRE IN SWITZERLAND..—The patriotic sympathy of the Swiss for those of their countrymen, ren dered destitute by this great calamity, has shown itself in a remarkable manner. The Government at Berne has resolved in full council to devote 20,000 f. for the relief of the suf ferers, and half the sum has been already sent to Glarus, whilst the council of Argovia has also sent a like sum. These examples have been elsewhere- imitated with the utmost generosity ; so that hundreds of thousands of francs in ready money, and dozens of carts laden with food and clothes, have been despatched to the relief of the sufferers. According to an official report, 500 buildings have been re duced to ashes, and 3,000 people are 'roofless, whilst the loss in money value is estimated at 8,000,000 f., and four people were killed or burned. THREE MEN DROWNED OFF SCARBOROUGH.— On Saturday evening an accident occurred whereby three men lost their lives. The deceased were fishermen, and while in their boat, near Scalby Ness, about three miles north of Scarborough, arranging their nets known as " lobster pots," a heavy surf of tho sea upset the coble, and the three men were thrown into the water. They were seen by a man on the adjoining road, who, however, could render them no assistance. The lobster pots are placed on a rocky bottom, near the shore; and at the place what . . deceased men were fishing, there is a reef of rocks, over which it was that the sea so suddenly broke upon them. The coble came to the shore soon after the melancholy occur rence. The names of the men were T a mes i Dou g las, wasthe J o h n Bentley, and a son of the latter. The Coble o property of Douglas, and this is the second crew e drowned out of her. On the former occasion si x men perished. None of the bodies lost on Saturday have as yet been recovered. share) 20 1 20 5 1 40 Australian 'BonAccord Copper,Lim. Brazil St.J.del Rey,Liml Do. Land and Miningeo.

THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA AND LETTERS OF MARQUE. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. We are credibly informed that there are at present in the port of Liverpool several vessels undergoing repairs anl being fitted up for the purpose of privateering. These ves sels are now awaiting the return from America of parties interested in this buccaneering business, with the neces sary "diploma" from Montgomery, the seat of the rebel Government in the south. In the Liverpool underwriters' rooms, yesterday, the following significant notice was posted up NEW YORK, May 8. " The Montgomery Conference yesterday passed an act recognising war with the United States, and authorising the granting of letters of marque and reprisal, for which appli cations are very numerous. A proviso announces that free ships make free goods, and 30 days are allowed to federal vessels in the ports of the Confederate States to return home." The general opinion in Liverpool is that this last act of the Southern Government will be the means of infesting the seas with a horde of unprincipled adventurers from all parts ci' the globe, who will have no respecf for the flag of eithcr the Palmetto State or the Federal Union, but who will attack friend and foe indiscriminately, and cause a revival of those bloody privateering incidents so common towards the end of the last, and the beginning of the pre sent century. In the Prince's Dock, yesterday, for the first time since the civil discord in the United States, an American vessel heisted the flag of the Confederate States in an English port. SZERELMEPS PR ES ESERV ATIVE PRO CS. For some years past the attention of scientific men has been directed to the discovery of some means of arresting decay in mineral, vegetable, and animal products, but the success obtained has been both limited in its extent and un certain in its character. Modern art and science have not yet been able to attain to the skill of the Egyptian embalmer, or that of the Greek and Romans, whose encausitc paintings seem destined to outlive the ravages of time. Among those who have displayed the greatest amount of scientific re search into the antiseptic properties of numerous descrip tions of materials there is not one who has surpassed M. Szerelmey, and certainly none who have obtained equally successful results. This gentleman, while an officer of engineers in the Austrian army, was appointed as a com missioner to investigate the causes of decay in some descrip tions of stone. In the pursuit of his inquiries he visited Egypt, and was there struck with the abundant evidences which were everywhere presented of the use by the ancients of some material possessing in a high degree the qualities of preserving substances from decomposition. Traces of it were seen in the ruins of the temples, on portions of one of the Pyramids, in the rich colouring of the tombs, in the cerecloths which bound the dead, and even upon the timbers of a vessel with respect to which there is some evidence to show that it existed previous to the Christian era, and which was discovered in the lath century in the Sea of Nu. midia. A careful examination of the preserved substances resulted in the discovery that the material, or one of the ingredients in the material, employed was similar to that which is to be found in large quantities in the Dead Sea and upon its shores—a species of bituminous gum or resin, possessed of very remarkable qualities. It does not burn like resin, nor smell like wax, nor dissolve like gum, and yet it possesses more or less the properties of each of these sub stances. This substance, to which M. Szerelmey has ap plied the old Greek name of zopissa, is a perfect jet black in its colour; heat causes it to crack and explode; and up to the present time no solvent has been found which will successfully attack it. Sulphuric and every other known acid has been tried in vain ; but M. Szerelmey claims the knowledge of a means of converting this extraordinary sub stance into a state in which, when combined with other ingredients, it will form a perfect preservative of almost every known substance. In the first instance the zopissa was applied to the indu ration and preservation of stone, cements, bricks, and other mineral products. About five years since it was found that a fatal decay had settled on the stone of the Houses of Par liament. All the fine traceries and mouldings and decors- Lions of the exterior of those buildings gave signs of rapid disintegration, which is now progressing at a most alarming rate. This decay of the stone so carefully selected by the commissioners duly appointed by the Government to inquire into and report upon the durability of different kinds of stone for building purposes is due to the action of mechanical and chemical causes. The stone absorbs large quantities of moisture from the damp atmosphere in which it is situated, and this swelling in the pores of the stone by frost causes it to break away in thin flakes, while the chemi cal agencies at work to destroy the stone are principally found in the large quantities of sulphurous acid gas with which the enormous consumption of coal in the metropolis charges the atmosphere. In order to counteract these de structive agencies various plans were tried, the favourite idea being the employment of liquid silica, or liquor of flints, which it was thought would, if applied to theouter surface, practically put the whole of the building under a glass case. Unfortunately, however, the surface of the stone was so porous that it absorbed the water from the silicates, leav ing the silica potash, or soda, slightly cohesive to the exter nal surface, and the rain and the atmosphere quickly re moved this scanty protection. Something more than this was evidently required, and that M. Szerelmey has pro vided, to all appearance, with very great success, the substance which he employs possessing the pecu liar quality of combining with the particles of the materials to be protected, and uniting chemi cally with their elements. In 1857 several portions of the stone work of the river front were treated by different pro cesses, and the manner in which the decay has been arrested by the zopissa is most remarkable. The stone, instead of being flaky, and so soft that scales can be removed from it by the finger nail, is as hard as flint rock. There is no ap pearance of dampness or moisture, nor any cracking of the stone, as is to be seen in almost every other portion of the building where the substance has not been applied. A com mittee is now sitting to inquire into the best mode of pre serving the stone of the new Houses of Parliament, and their report will, we believe, be shortly prepared. So far as opportunities for testing the value of the process have been afforded by time the result is certainly favourable. Professor Faraday and Sir Roderick Murchison were requested, in 1859, to inspect the bays which had been treated by various persons, and Professor Faraday in his report said,—" I find nothing in M. Szerelmey's mode of procedure which is ob jectionable, or otherwise than good, or which would upon principle cause mo to doubt the success of his process," and Sir Roderick Murchison professed his entire concurrence in this opinion. Each of the courts of the New Houses have been treated in a similar manner; and orders were given for going over the whole exterior of the buildings ; but they were very properly countermanded on the appointment of the present committee. The whole of the interior of St. Paul's and the front of the Bank of England have recently been treated by the same process ; and it is a fact not gene rally known that the colours used by Mr. Penrose in the decorations of the cathedral are prepared with this indurat ing material, and the decorations are thus made in encaustic, in which the colours are durable as stone itself. The zopissa has been applied with no less success to or dinary stock bricks, to bricks made of unbelted clay, and even of the river mud, and in each of these cases the poro • sity of the substances has been entirely removed, and it is impossible to make them absorb water. Blocks of chalk have been covered with this extraordinary solution, and as soon as dry the chalk will repel any amount of water, and can only be broken with the greatest difficulty. The same process of induration which is applied to mine rals is no less aVailable for wood, and the application of the process to timber is to be employed for ship-building in the royal navy is now under consideration. Timber treated by this process will, it is said, resist not only the atmospheric and oceanic influences, but the ravages of marine insects. A ship built of wood indurated by the zopissa is doubly buoyant, because it cannot be saturated with water; the timbers will not become foul from barnacles or weeds, the interior will be always dry, and the sh i p will be practically fire-proof, however, to materials The application of the proces s, an d the Chancellor of f o rmed of paper pulp, or of fibrouss materials, is one which at the present moment deserve particular attention. The Patellivehden the supervision of the p th a e pe E r e xcise officer and the burden of the excise duty are re x d c u h t e y q i u s e r a b ir o a u s t moved, paper will enter very largely into various new sttoatebde t r h e branches of manufacture. Some tine since the Chancellor of the Exchequer Produced a bitu minous paper pipe, which was well adapted for carrying water; he said but that bituminous pipe is now thrown completely in the shad e by "pipeaper pipes prepared by this process. One of these w " tested a few days since at Woolwich with pressure of 3001 b., an amok* a p lk , fa r above whichthat would leave burst an iron p i pe of equal thickness. Boards and p lanks made of paper possess an a l most incredible degree of strength when treated by this a inch thick was tested ag a i t gent. One oak board of an us a plank of equal size only six h inces in thckness • the . i , ____ inch,' while the oak boad was thoroughly broken. These paper boards being perfectly impervious to wet or damp, will be most valuable for the linings of the interior of .hips; for huts and tmporary barracks, for panels and ceilings, and for decorative purposes. The substance is not only waterproof, but, being a non• conductor of heat, will be use ful in hot climates. They will bear any degree of tempera ture without yielding ; and they will not burn as in the case of ordinary timber. Possessing these qualities, the paper forms an admirable and permanent surface for decorative nurpoees, and if the colours employed should have been mixed with the zopissa and other ingredients, the decora tions will be imperishable. Lord Palmerston, the Chan cello , ; of the Exchequer, and Mr. Milner Gibson last week exadlned the specimens, more especially those showing the application of the process to paper, with considerable inte rest. The heads of the navy departments are engaged in investigating the nature of the process for purposes con necterwith shipbuilding, and the rigging and equipment of ships; and in the army, experiments are about to be made for testing the efficiency of paper thus prepared for rocket tubes, the employment of iron for this purpose having been long since found to be very unsatisfactory,—Observer BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY.
