The reserve of notes has been lessened to about a like amount. The :1 public deposits through the payment of the half yearly dividend have been reduced by about four millions sterling, and there is consequently a large addition to the private balances. In the Other Securities a decrease of about a million and a half 18 apparent, owing to the repayment of loans upon sty: Stock, and in the Government Securities there is s e t t / also a cons id era bl e d ecrease .

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE WHITE AND GREGORY. These bankrupts had carried on an extensive business as army agents and bankers in the Haymarket, and tt meeting was held to-day for proof of debts and declaration of a fur• ther dividend, two having been already paid, one of 10s. 6d., and the other of 2s. 6d. in the pound. The further dividend will be officially announced in a few days. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE BULLAMORE. This bankrupt was described as of Peterborough, baker and grocer, and now applied for his certificate. He had been in business for 28 years, and the unsecured debts amount to 1500. An offer had been made under the Private Arrange ment Act, by which it was supposed the creditors would eventually have been paid in full, but they would not con sent to the terms. The solicitor to the assignees said they did not oppose the bankrupt having a certificate, but not one of the first class. Mr. Cannan, the official assignee, said the debts and pro perty were about the value set down by the bankrupt. His Honour granted an immediate certificate of the first class. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SCENE IN THE HAYMARKET.-Mr. Charles Barnes, of 17, Albert-terrace, Islington, Mr. John Griffiths, medi cal student, same address, and Clara Norton, prostitute, of 90, Wardour-street, were charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance in the Haymarket, and Barnes was further charged with assaulting James Newnham, 69 C. Matthew Hill, 126 C, said—About 4 o'clock this morning I saw a crowd of about 50 persons in the Haymarket, and heard the two male defendants making a great noise and flourishing their sticks about. They refused to leave, called me " a snob," and Griffiths said he was a member of Parliament. I took Griffiths into custody, and then Barnes camo up and seized me by the collar. 96 C then came to my assistance, and Barnes struck him with his stick. They then took the male defendants into custody, and on the road Barnes became very obstreperous, and it required two or three constables to take them to the station. On the way, while 96 C was picking up Barnes, the female came up and knocked off his hat. o Barnes—Was I drunk ? Constable.— Yes. Newnham, 96 C, said—l tried to get Griffiths away, and he said, " Don't you know I am a member of Parliament, and don't care for such as you." Barnes then came up, and putting himself into a fighting attitude, said, "You take me?" I then took Barnes, when he threw himself down and seized the iron railings. Barnes then struck me, and I took the stick from him. While I was picking up Barnes the female tried to knock my hat off, that being a common thing of a night in rows in the Haymarket, and having got constables' hats off, the mob kick them about. Griffiths—l did not say I was a member of Parliament ; I only said I knew one. Barnes—We had no business to be taken into custody. Inspector Bowles—The men were both drunk. Barnes—l don't want to say anything further. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined Barnes the insignificant sum of ss. or nine days, and discharged the others. Mr. Francis Henry Harrison, of 25, Clarges-street, was also charged with creating a disturbance and being drunk in Piccadilly. Sergeant Horsey, 6 C, having stated the case, Mr. Tyr whitt discharged the defendant, THIS DAY'S MAIU(ETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to •day was much restricted. Fine samples moved off steadily, at full quotations ; otherwise the trade was in a sluggish state, at previous currencies. We were well supplied with foreign wheat. In most de scriptions a fair but far from extensive business was trans acted, at Monday's prices. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request. In heir value no change took place. All kinds of barley were a dull sale, at barely late rates. The transactions in malt were very moderate, yet prices ruled tolerably firm. _ _ Fine samples of oats maintained their value ; but inferior qualities were very dull. Both beans and peas moved off slowly, at drooping prices, Good and fine flour was in fair request, at full quotations. Other kinds, howover, ruled dull. ARRIVALS THIS vvEmc. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE 01? COMMONS.—Crnis DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PAROCHIAL AND BURGH SCHOOLS (SCOT LAND) No. 2 BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Upon clause 9, which provides that parochial school masters should not be required to sign a confession of faith, but should make a declaration that they would not incul cate opinions opposed to the Scriptures, or to the Shorter Catechism of 1643, Mr. HADFIELD opposed the clause, on the ground that it enforced an unnecessary test. Upon a division, the numbers were— For the clause Against it Majority —36 The clause was then added to the bill. On clause 10, which transfers the jurisdiction of the Presbyterians to the Sheriff in cases where charges of im moral conduct or cruelty are preferred against a school master, Mr. DUNPOP objected to the provision in the clause that the complaints of the schoolmaster to the Sheriff should proceed from the Presbytery, and proposed in all cases it should be presented to them by the heritors, ministers, or elders. The LORD ADVOCATE could not consent to the amendment. He admitted that the Presbytery did not form a convenient body to sit in trial upon a schoolmaster, but there was nothing objectionable in giving the power to complain to the Sheriff of immoral conduct, cruelty, or ne glect of duty. Mr. BLACK said the position of the schoolmasters was very unfortunate. After a short discussion the amendment was withdrawn, the Lord Advocate having suggested an alteration of the clause limiting the time to three months for which any schoolmaster might be suspended. _ _ The next amendment to the same clause was then taken into consideration.

The number at present recovered is seventeen, and the bodies of those still unac counted for were expected to be recovered during last night, as the ventilation has materially improved, and it is expected before this morning the pit will be filled with atmospheric air, so as to permit of an examination of every part of the workings. If the bodies should be recovered the coroner will hold another inquest, for the purpose of their identifi cation, to-day, but the causes that led to the disaster will not be entered upon until Monday next. Mr. Jackson, M.P., has been frequently at Clay Cross, and has evinced the greatest anxiety for the recovery of the bodies, and we can not but express our admiration of the indefatigable exertions that have been made by all engaged in this melancholy affair. This morning, shortly before 12 c'clock, the greatest con sternation was occasioned in Northumberland-street, Strand, at the hearing the report of pistols, and a loud out cry on the first floor, No. 1, Northumberland-street, occu pied by a Mr. Roberts, an army agent, and who, it after wards appeared, had fired two pistols at a Major Murray, who was in his office at the time and inflicted two bullet wounds in the neck. Major Murray, although thus wounded, finding that Mr. Roberts had locked the door, and was in possession of an other pistol, seized the poker and tongs, and commenced a fierce onslaught on his attempted murderer, inflicting the most fearful blows over the head and face, so as to tho roughly disarm him and render him insensible. A man named Pomfret first raised the cry of murder ; and Mr. Ransom, who occupies offices in the same house, saw Major Murray make his escape from the back yard win dow into the yard, and as he was bleeding profusely from the wounds in the neck and forehead, he at once led him off to Charing-cross Hospital. In the meantime information was conveyed to the Police-station, Scotland-yard, where a number of policemen rushed to the house, and on going up stairs they found the door locked, and they could obtain no answer. A ladder was procured, and entering the room from the back window, they found it in the most frightful state of confusion, and the floor covered with blood, and in the corner near the door they discovered Mr. Rebuts in a crouching position, bleeding profusely from numerous wounds in the head and face, they being fairly smashed, and on the flour they found the two pistols, one of which had recently been discharged. Mr. Roberts was immediately raised up by ;the police, a cab sent for, and conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital, where Major , Murray had previously arrived; they were both placed under the care of Mr. Skegg, the house surgeon, and assis• tents, when their wounds were found to be of the most fearful and dangerous character ; but from the short time that elapsed since the dreadful occurrence, it was impossible to learn the exact nature of the injuries, and for the same reason it is not possible to obtain any reliable infor mation as to the cause of Mr. Roberts attempting the life of Major Murray, further than that Major Mur • ray, who is the brother of Captain Murray, of 35, §tan ley-street, states that there were pecuniary transactions between them, and that shortly before he met Mr. Roberts who invited him to his office, and an angry altercation took place between them, when Major Murray suddenly saw Mr. Roberts take up the pistol and fire it, finding him self wounded, he then in self-defence commenced the attack on Mr. Roberts with the poker. Both parties are in charge of the police at the Charing-cross Hospital, and no hope is entertained of the recovery of Mr. Roberts. DR. S3LETTITIRST_AND THE WILL OF ISABELLA BANKS. COURT OF PROBATE.—(I EsTERDAY.) (Before Sir C. Cresswell ) This was a suit instituted by Thomas Smethurst, who was convicted of felony on the 30th of November, 18.59, for the purpose of proving the will of the late Miss Isabella Banks, of 10, Alma-villas, Richmond. It will be remem bered that by this will Miss Banks bequeathed the whole of her property to the plaintiff, with the exception of a brooch to Miss Jenkins, a female friend, and that she appointed Dr. Smethurst her sole executor. The defendants, are the two sisters of the testatrix, and Mr. Tomlins, to whom one of them is married, and they opposed probate on two grounds; the first, that the plain tiff, having been convicted of felony, had forfeited all claim to any right as residuary legatee; and the next, that Miss Jenkins having released the estate of the bequest, he had no claim to act as executor. The case was argued at considerable length; and, from the novelty and import ance of the question involved, the learned judge deferred giving his decision until he had considered the legal autho rities on the question. Sir C. Cresswell now delivered judgment. Having gone through the facts of the case, ha said the authorities on the question were very few. He had considered them most carefully, and he came to the conclusion that the plaintiff was not deprived of his rights as legatee, and that being the case he thought he was fully entitled to perfect his right by proving the will. The demurrer was accordingly dismissed, so that the plaintiff will be enabled to proceed with his suit to estab lish the will. BANE OF ENGLAND.

TIZREE CHILDREN MURDERED BY THEIR MOTRER.—A dreadful crime was perpetrated at Westwood Side, a village in the Isle of Axholme, near Epworth, Lin colnshire, on Tuesday, a woman, named Wilson, having murdered her three children. The woman, it appears, had get up in the night, and, taking the three sleeping children from their beds, forced them through the " man hole' , into the cistern. She then calmly looked on until life was extinct. The husband was away from home on business when all this took place, and the woman herself was the first to communicate the distressing intelligence to him. She had, it seems, before the commission of the deed had become known, left the house and made her way to Wheat ley, in Nottinghamshire, where her husband was, and in re ply to questions from him, as;soon as she made her appear ance, as to how she had got there, and what she had done with the children, she said they were safe in heaven." Alarmed at her language and manner, he asked her what she meant, and, after a little hesitation, she confessed that she had put them to death. The husband hastened home-- only to find his wife's tragic tale too true. The woman is now in custody. It is believed she has for some time past given evidence of inutility.

Four-oared Race, and the Waternian'a Appren tices, will be rowed this afternoon. M. Meyerbeer and M. Auber have acceded to the request made to them by the Commissioners of the London Exhibition of 1862 to supply o,musical compositio to be executed at the opening, " Time works wonders," they say—but nowhere so frequently as at the Horse Guards. Let but a year or two elapse, and you may possibly see an officer who barely escaped being tried by court martial, not only purged of his offence, but pro moted and rewarded. The public have scarcely re covered from their surprise at the colonelcy be stowed upon General Eden, when they are startled by the intelligence that General Windham, of Cawnpore fame, has been rewarded with a Colonel's allowance for life. It is difficult to believe that the War Minister can seriously approve of these Horse Guards' extravagancies. It is rather to be feared that circumstances hardly permit the Minister to exercise that control over a headstrong military clique which is so imperatively needed. No one, surely, has yet forgotten the siege of Lucknow. For months the gallant band of English, men and women, had been shut up in that beleaguered town. Early in the war Sir Henry Lawrence had perished, and even Havelock and Neil had only succeeded in entering the gates to be shut up without the possitility of delivering either themselves or those whom they came to rescue. It was a terrible trial to those who had friends and relatives within those frail defences. But at length the news came that Sir Cohn Campbell was advancing to their relief. With the utmost anxiety and the utmost promptitude every available man had been collected, for the enterprise was full of hazard. It was not simply to relieve a mere garrison of soldiers, but to bring back in safety through a crowded city and a country swarming with an armed host of Indians, a great company of women and children. Now, there was one thing upon which the success of the whole depended. Sir Colin might succeed in penetrating into Lucknow—he might succeed in bringing ven out su e cc v e e e r d y i w n o p m r a o n tec a t n in d g cthheildlonaglilvien; l o le f surrounding hosts until he reached the bridge of Cawnpore. But unless that bridge was held in per feet safety—unless when he reached it the means of crossing the river were secure, so that he might place his precious charge in safety within the lines of Cawnpore—all his elaborate preparations, all the promptitude of his officers and the gallantendurance of his men, would be utterly useless. To secure Cawnpore, therefore, and the bridge across the river from the attacks of the rebels, was the vital point. It was a service of the utmost moment. But the task was comparatively easy, All that the officer left in charge had to do was to remain upon the defensive, to repel any attack that might be made upon him, but to risk nothing—to keep stea dily within his entrenchments. The officer selected to hold Cawnpore was Major-General Windham, whose conduct at the Redan, although it had occa sioned a lively controversy, certainly greatly con tributed to place him in Parliament, and to procure for him a command in the East. His orders were distinct to maintain his position—to keep the bridge safe, and to await the return of Sir Colin. But this did not suit the spirit of Gen. Windham. He would go forth to meet the enemy. But instead of success, he was compelled to fall back within his entrenchments--his men became demoralised, the communication across the river was in peril, and had it not been for the opportune presence and activity of Sir Cohn, the whole army, with all the women and children under their protection, might have been driven into the river and drowned. At the critical moment when the gallant old Scotchmau had all but succeeded in his perilous task, the mis guided activity of a subordinate almost robbed him of success. :History does not report what passed between the Commander-in Chief and Gen. Wind ham when they met on that anxious night. But from that moment until the end of the Indian cam paign we do not remember that Gen. Windham ever took part in any active operations. He was sent away to take the command of a district where everything was comparatively quiet. The salary of £4,000 was hardly enough to satisfy a soldier's pride, but assuredly it was more than enough to satisfy the claims of General Windham. If at the =meat of this failure it had been proposed to confer upon him a regiment, even the House of Commons of these degenerate days would have interposed to cancel so gross an appointment. At that time, therefore, nothing more was at tempted than au indignant protest from the IJuke of Cambridge in behalf of au absent officer, and soon after an elaborate defence by an artillery officer who took part in the Cawnpore disaster. But " time works wonders ;" years have passed ; the story has been partly forgotten. The General, we shall now be told, behaved with the utmost gallantry in the affair of Cawnpore, and since that time he has of course exercised his command to the• perfect satisfaction of his superior officers. In addi tion to all this, we shall be told that according tcs the Horse Guards' regulations he is next on the list fur a regiment, and as he must soon vacate his com mand in India, the only thing to be done is to make up the emoluments which he will lose by those attached to a colonelcy. Such arguments will no doubt prevail. The War Niinister and the Commander-in-Chief, after haviere proved, as of course, they easily may prove, that the rules of the service, made for the benefit of such men as General Eden and General Windham, have been strictly followed, may possibly wax indignant at the idea of being supposed capable of doing an injustice to the General in order to avoid the abuse of acrid political fanatics. But clear-sighted people will readily perceive that sinecure colonelcies were intended as rewards for those who have made them selves notorious, not by failure, but by success. And. the appointment of General Windham, like the appointment of General Eden, is one more proof of the incapacity of the Horse Guards to distribute military patronage.—Daily News. ARMY PROMOTION. PRIVATEERING. ow Dickens' All the Year _Round.) Can we wonder at the general exclamation of horror which arose in England when it was re ported that the Southern States of America were about to let fly their privateers at the North, and all without even a special protest from England on the folly and inhumanity of the act P Any attempt to partly blockade a Southern port, and keep in her cotton, England would not allow; but to let a swarm of pirate ships, many of them chartered by the scum of the North — men who would dive into an Atlantic full of blood , to pick out a dollar —is not even to be protested against. We no longer poison bullets or stab prisoners, yet we allow legalised pirates to pursue their devilish calling, merely because those pirates choose to hoist a Southern flag and call themselves Southern privateers. Yet do not think that in future wars the toleration of such inhumanity will not recoil on us. Who is there who can sow the wind and yet refuse to reap the whirlwind ? Yet, that statesmen should tolerate such things is no wonder. Those great-minded helmsman are too busy in keeping their legs to trouble themselves about ideals. They have to laugh away popular wrath, to smile away oppsition, to scoff away attacks, to badinage away reforms they do not themselves originate. • They do not want vexatious debates on abstract subjects. Wars are bad things, but they em ploy officers and encourage promotion ; they keep the opposition quiet, and are excuses for taxes ; they postpone reform, and increase ministerial popularity. But the bayoneting, the shooting, the burning, the ruining of women, the defacing God's image ? Yes, all inconveniences—undeniable inconveni ences, but not to be thought of when national wel fare requires war to express its anger, to assert its right, to retrieve its honour, to extend its territory, or to augment its glory; and of this justifiable war, in a good cause, privateering is a necessary volun- teer adjunct. _ evils re sulting from this determination of t he South But let me sketch the probabl e to let loose her privateering murderers. As soon as this news is telegraped from Montgomery the rich rowdies, and o ld t to the Southern seaports, tha t instant the worst of the bankrupt merchants , slave dealers, will rake up every possible old schooner and raking clipper they ca n find to scour the seas, for rapine and plunder. .ey will buy some old dram - shops, and collect will get rifted • they will lay in guns, ay in grape-shot shot and i w n h t i h e e h b t ar he - y rooms and d . 50 d rou nd , then put up pla cardsget ? The patriot—the hones t —the merciful—tha brave ? N • the thiev ingo . drunkard—the sailors. And whom will they homicide—the gang-dr iver -- the slave-hunter —the runaway- convict. — the swindler—the murderer —the Seven Deadly Sins for for officers, all the Passions for crew, and Apol lyon himself for sailin mas ter._ And what will they (l g. first ? These men are mere midnight murderers o . • they will steal up creeks, and float with muffled ' round seize free negroes, and send them to die in the rice swamps round Savannah River; they vill cut brave men's throats in their sleep, and beim unsus pecting fishing-boats, burn quiet seaside villages, seize outlying barques, do the devil's wor'it in God's name, and go home and exult over their patriotic labours, and thank Heaven for making them other men than those proud Pharisees of the 3gorth. The motive of a privateersman is pleader. He comes out to steal—to fight and steal—?but not to fight if he canngt steal. The privateersn lan is the com mon enemfbf mankind, as the pirate is, and he should be treated as such, and hanged by whom soever can get a rope on his neck. Ti to laws of God and man are against him.
