CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, completed to the 29th inst., is of a rather satisfactory character. The bullion has been increased by about a quarter of a million sterling, owing to the receipts from Australia. The reserve of notes has also been largely augmented. The other securities, how ever, show a large addition, owing to the pre parations made for the half-yearly payments at this season, and the advances which have been obtained on stock. In the Government Securities there is also a slight increase. The other items of the balance-sheet, and the changes they present, are shown in the subjoined table : Active Circulation Increase ..

Alexiadi, Detta, and Co., Greek merchants, who suspended last week with direct liabilities amounting to £84,447, and assets representing £99,991, exclusive of the private properties of the partners in Turkey and elsewhere. After some discussion, it was resolved that the firm should continue to wind up the estate for the general benefit of all parties concerned._ During the last few days there has been only a moderate amount of business transacted in the markets for foreign and colonial produce. Tea, at public sale, barely sustained former rates, and sugar, coffee, and spices have remained at about previous values. Rico has been inactive, and rather cheaper, while a moderate business has been recorded in saltpetre and tallow, at late quotations. Notwithstanding the provision that will have to be made for the payments due at the end of the mouth, the demand for money continues moderate. The quotations, however, although presenting no change of importance, are a shade firmer. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The North Briton, which sailed for Quebec yes terday, conveyed £49,200. Rather more firmness was again apparent in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and the sales reached 12,000 bales, 4,000 of which were for ex portation and on speculation. The English Stock market to-day has been un favourably influenced by some sales ,qn speculative account, as well as for transfer, but the business recorded is not extensive. Consols are 891 for money, and 891 for the account. The New Three per Cents. realise 881 1, and the Reduced An nuities, 881 Z. The 5 per Cent. India Loan con tinued heavy at 98Z ; and India Bonds at 18s. to 14s. discount ; Exchequer Bills, March, are flat at 10s. discount, and the June ditto at par to 3s. dis. Business in the Foreign Stock Market has con tinued of a limited character, with little change of importance to record in rates. Old Turkish 6 per Cents. brought 711 72 ; and Loan of 1858, 561 571 ; Mexican Stock has declined to 228 4 ; Sardinian realise 781; and Brazilian 41 per Cents. 861. Considerable depression has prevailed in the .i , ,hilway Share Market, and the small business transacted has resulted in a decline in most instances of about Ito 1 per cent. Great Northerns, Mid lands, Great Westerns, and South Easterns have receded ss. ; Bristol and Exeter, 10s. ; and Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings prices have also shown a downward movement ; Great Luxembourg declined 55.; Grand Trunk of Canada £1 ; Great Western of Canada ss. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have continued very dull, and prices are nominally un altered. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock . 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities BBl 3 per Cent.

ROBBING A GENTLEMAN IN ROTTEN-ROW.—Elizabeth Johnson, address refused, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing the pocket-book of Mr. Charles Leicester Bayly, gentleman, 129, Mount-street, Grosvenor•square. Mr. Bayly said—Last evening about seven o'clock I was leaning over the railings in Hyde-park, talking to a lady on horseback, an d j ust as the lady was a b ou t t o r id e away, I felt a t ouch at my pocket. I turned round and told a man who was close to me that he had got it, but he denied it, and asked me to search him. While doing so my attention was directed to the prisoner by the crowd, and a gentleman who had just before been speaking to me said the prisoner, who had moved away, had dropped it. I went after her, picked up the pocket-book, and gave her in charge. The book contains valuable memoranda (relative to betting transactions). Prisoner—l never took the book at all. The man throw it where it was found. Mr. William Bennett, gentleman, of No. 7, Albemarle street, said—l was riding in Rotten-row yesterday, and went up and spoke to Mr. Bayly, and while doing so he said to a man, " You have robbed me of my pocket-book ;" and then I saw the prisoner, whD I have no doubt was one of the clique, with the pocket-book under her arm. I Walked some distance after her, and she then dropped the book. I gave my horse in charge to a person and detained the Prisoner. Sergeant Edwards said the prisoner was tried at this court in 1851 for picking a pocket in Oxford-street, and committed for a month by Mr. Beadon. Prisoner—l did not take it, but I was with the man. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall commit you for three months, and You may think yourself very fortunate. It appears that the Row was very full at the time, as is 11sually the case after a drawing-room, and that the light fingered fraternity were busy at their avocation, Share; I Railways.

This was an appeal by way of writ of error from a deci sion of the Exchequer Chamber, reversing a judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench, for injury done to the plaintiff's house, caused by the defendant taking away the pillars of his mine under the plaintiff's house in 1850, which caused a "true" or subsidence. The defendant pleaded-Ist, that action could not lie till damage was sustained, and that no damage was caused till 1856 ; 2d, prescription. The Court of Queen's Bench sus tained the pleas of the defendant. The case is fully reported in Law Journal 27, and at page 622 of Blackburn and Ellis's Reports. The plaintiff appealed to and obtained from the Exchequer Chamber a decision in his favour, and the defendant pre sented this appeal. The plaintiff is proprietor and occupier of houses, and the defendant is owner and proprietor of mines and minerals worked at Westbuckland, in the county of Durham. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., is now being heard for the appel lant, and had not concluded when we went to press. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE C. T. CHEESMAN. This bankrupt had carried on a very extensive business at Brighton, as a coal merchant, and the balance-sheet, by Messrs. Hart Brothers and Hayles, shows debts £1,793. To creditors, secured, £2,170 ; assets, good debts, £619 ; doubtful, £239; property £1,259; ditto in the hands of creditors £BB4. This was an adjourned meeting for consideration of the certificate, but in consequence. of the inability of some par ties to attend an adjournment was taken by consent. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE DOUST. This bankrupt was described as of Pomeroy-place, New cross, omnibus proprietor, and came up for his certificate, which was granted, of the second-class. Debts, £914. To creditors holding security, £179 ; assets, property, £202 ; ditto in the hands of creditors, £80; deficiency April, 1850, £502. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fame.) IN RE EEHREND AND NICHOLS. These bankrupts were described as of St. Mary Axe, East India and general merchants, and this was a meeting for their last examination; but Messrs. Brown and Dubois, accountants to the estate under the sanction of the Court, not having been able to complete the accounts, an adjourn ment was taken by consent. SECONDARIES COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a jury.) EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRISON MENT-JOHNSON Y. GROSSMITH. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages laid at £5OO in an assault and false imprisonment case, defendant having suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. Butler Rigby, for the plaintiff, said his client was clerk to Mr. Kinder and Mr. Webb, and defendant the well known perfumer of Newgate-street. Upon the 15th May last plaintiff was sent by Mr. Webb (who was acting for a client named O'Brien) to collect a sum of £l5 from defen dant, a letter demanding payment of the money having been sent the day previously. When plaintiff went into the shop defendant rushed down stairs and struck plaintiff several blows, saying, "You swindling vagabond, you have come here to extort money." A police-constable was then sent for and plaintiff taken to the station, and charged with attempting to extort money under false pretences. After three hours' detention the charge was withdrawn and plain tiff set free, and now sought to recover damages for such unjustifiable conduct. Plaintiff was called and proved these Ras. In cross examination by Mr. Henry James he said that defendant walked to the station-house, and that he (defendant) was not called after by any boys—nor was he much stared at. Mr. H. James then urged that O'Brien's claim was a false one, and that defendant had not been visited with vindictive damages. Mr: Grossmith was called and said he had been nearly pestered to death with applications from O'Brien. As Webb's name was not in the law list witness did not believe plaintiff came from any attorney, and therefore sent for a constable, and denied he called the man a vagabond. The learned counsel having severally addressed the jury, the learned Secondary in summing up said that parties should be very careful how they put the criminal law in force, and no doubt defendant had acted very wrongly. It was for the jury to say what damages they award plaintiff. The jury awarded plaintiff 40s. damages. TILE KINGSWOOD MURDER. MANSION-HOUSE—(This DAT). This morning Johann Karl Franz, a German, who is suspected of being one of the murderers of Mrs. Halliday, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Humphrey, charged with being in a house with intent to commit a felony. He is a little slender man, about 21 years of age, dressed in faded and well-worn brown coat and trousers, and a black cloth cap, and altogether presented a very destitute condition. An interpreter having informed the prisoner of the charge against him, Inspector Coward, having been sworn, said—l hold a warrant, signed by the magistrates of Surrey, for the appre hension of two men on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of Martha Halliday, at the Parsonage, Kingswood, on the night of the 10th of June. I believe the prisoner to be one of those men. This was communicated to the prisoner through the in terpreter. The Lord Mayor—Do you wish to put any questions to the inspector ? Prisoner-1 have nothing to ask. John Bashford — I am a grocer an d gar d ener , an d res id e at Chepston, near Kingswood. 1 saw the prisoner at Reigate on Monday, the 10th of June (the night of the murder), about half-past one o'clock. He was at the Cricketers' publichouse in company with another man like himself, a foreigner. They remained in the publichouse about an hour. I saw them thare again the following night. 1 did not speak to him. The place is about four miles from Kingswood. I have not seen him since that day until the present time. The Lord Mayor (to the prisoner)—Have you any ques tions to put. Prisoner (in a low voice)—l have nothing to say beyond stating that what he says is not true. The town of Rei gate is entirely unknown to me. Mary Elsey—l reside at Reigate, and am in the service of Mrs. Bithers, who carries on the business of a brush maker there. To the best of my belief I saw the prisoner in the town on the afternoon of the 10th of June. He came into the shop between the hours of three and four to pur chase a ball of string. I saw nothing of him after that time. The murder was committed after I had seen the prisoner. The Lord Mayor—Did you speak to the prisoner ? Witness—No, my lord, I did not. The Lord Mayor—Was he alone when he came into the shop, or was any other person with him Witness—He was accompanied by another man, who also had the appearance of a foreigner. _ Mrs. Mary Bithers—l saw a man very much like the prisoner at Reigate, on the 10th of June. He came into my shop to purchase a ball of string. There was another man with him who had dark curly hair. The prisoner's face seems somewhat thinner than when I first saw him. His beard has also grown longer, but I believe him to be the person I saw. He wore a cloth cap, which he has not now got on. The Lord Mayor—Put the prisoner's cap on him. [This was done by the officer in charge.] Witness—Yes, I believe that is the man. The prisoner did not ask for the string ; the man by whom he was ac companied did, as he spoke English. The man with the dark hair also paid for the article, and then they both left the shop. The Lord Mayor—Did the two men speak to each other ? Witness—Yes, my lord. They conversed together while in my shop, but as it was carried on in a foreign language I could not tell what they said. The Lord Mayor—Do you wish to ask the witness any question ? Prisoner—No. Inspector Coward--I have heard the whole of the evi dence given by the witnesses, and I have reasonable ground to suspect that the prisoner is one of the persons who corn. witted the murder at Kingswood Parsonage on the night of the 10th of June. The Chief Clerk (to the prisoner)—You have heard the charge against you, what do you say in answer to it? Prisoner—l've nothing to say except that lam astonished that they should accuse me of the murder. The Lord Mayor (to the Inspector) —You have come here with a warrant from the Surrey magistrates, and you wish to have the prisoner delivered over to your custody, as you believe him to be concerned in the murder at Kingswood ? Inspector Coward—l do, my lord. The Lord Mayor—Very well. When will he be tried at Reigate? Inspector Coward—l think on Monday next. The Lord Mayor—ln the event of the prisoner being dis charged by the Surrey magistrates, he need not be brought here again, as the offence with «hick he is charged in the City is so simplc that he will have undergone sufficient punishment for that. You can have the prisoner delivered over to your custody. The prisoner was then formally delivered over to the custody of the Inspector of the Surrey Constabulary, and in a short time afterwards was conveyed back to Reigate.

Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE called the at tention of the house to the recent death of the Sultan of Turkey. The event was one of great importance to not only Turkey but to Europe generally. He adverted in de • tail to the various acts of the late Sultan, and mentioned in laudatory terms the liberal spirit he displayed during his government, particularly with reference to the Protestants resident in his kingdom. He admitted that he had com mitted faults, but contended that his general administration was entitled to praise. He trusted trusted that his succes sor would follow in his footsteps, and be guided by the same liberal spirit. Advice to him in his present position was most desirable, and he thought that advice could emanate from no Sovereign in Europe more properly than the Queen of England. They should bear in mind that they were under obligations to Turkey, which should induce the people of this country to take a lively interest in the affairs and good government of that country. He con cluded by asking the Government if any official notification had been received of the accession of the Sultan, or the policy he proposed to pursue. Lord WODEHOUSE stated, in reply, that his noble friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs had assured him that the new Sultan would carry out in its integrity the policy of his predecessor in reference to foreign affairs, and as regards his internal policy he would endeavour to introduce salutary and practical reforms. He expressed a hope that a new era was about to dawn upon Turky. Lord HARD WICKE strongly deprecated the policy of interference which this country passed towards Turkey. The Government of that cowtry should be called to work out its own reformation in conformity with its own religion, and according to the spirit of its people. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE gave notice that he would bring forward a motion on this subject. OCCUPATION OF SAVOY. The Earl of CARNARVON drew attention to the pro longed occupation by France of Northern Savoy, and was [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tnis DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. IRREMOVABLE POOR BILL. Mr. VILLIERS moved that the house go into committee on this bill. He explained that its object was, in the first place, to reduce the period of residence ; and, in the second place, to extend the area; both of which principles seemed to be admitted as just by practical men connected with parochial matters throughout the country. He believed that the bill would be of great benefit not only to this country but to Ireland. (Hear, hear.) The right hon. gen tleman quoted extensively from the reports of inspectors he had received, to show the inequalities which at present prevailed in reference to the mode of assessment. Mr. ESTCOURT said that a pt °position had been made to reject this bill, and he presumed that that question would not be raised to-day. He (Mr. Estcourt) should be most ready to give his best support to the bill, because he thought it would, with one exception, tend to simplify the poor laws of the country, and would be of great advan tage to the country as well as to the poor. Sir J. GRAHAM said that members would have a much better opportunity of discussing the measure if the Speaker were allowed to leave the chair, so that the house might go iuto committee. Mr. KNIGHT thought that the house had great reason to c , mplain of the course which had been taken by the head of the Poor Law Department, who had introJuced the bill without allowing the country to know anything about it. Mr. LOCKE, on the part of his constituents, objected to the bill, which provided that the charges should be levied upon unions, which gave the large parishes nothing, for they were unions in themselves at the present time. Sir J. PAKINGTON recommended that the house should at once go into committee on the bill. Sir G. GREY also recommended a similar course, in order that some definite issue might be raised, and that the sit ting should not be wasted in a desultory conversation. Mr. WALTER expressed his concurrence in the princi ple of the bill. He was of opinion that the area of rating should coincide with the area of management. Sir J. SHELLE Y objected to the bill, and remarked that if any one moved that th e bill sh ould be co mmitted that day three months he should support it. (Cries of " Move, move.") Sir W. JOLLIFFE said th;s bill was merely the re newal of a beneficial principle which had been in existence many years. Mr, W, E. FORSTER thought that the ollargeable area I should be co-extensive with th e employing e l l a b our , an d I this object the bill, ho thought, would tend to acc om pli s h. Sir H. VERNEY thought that the bill would interfere with the promotion of good agriculture, as productive neighbourhoods wo- ~d have to pay for bad ones. In many portions of the bill, however, he entirely concurred. Mr. CAYLEY objected to the bill as it would destroy the basis of the princip.e of local self-government. He should move as an amendment that the bill be committed that day three months, in order that the public might have a full opportunity of considering its provisions. Mr. HENLEY held that the bill would make a very great change in a very important law. If wider this bill they could not resist putting the metropolis together, how could they resist putting the whole nation together. The bill had been so curiously managed that the country really in effect knew nothing about it, and he thought that more time should be given for its consideration, and if the amend ment were pressed he should vote in its favour. Sir G. LEWIS said that the bill Was essentially one of details, and contained nothing but a development of principles recognised in the existing law. Having adverted to the bills respectively introduced by Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Buller, to show that there was no necessary connection between irre movability and the principle of union settlement, the right hon. baronet said the first great change proposed by this bill was the diminution of the term of five years, which constituted irremovability, which was a mere question of detail. For his own part he wished to see the law of settle. went utterly abolished, a course which he believed would be perfectly practicable and perfectly safe. (Hear.) He be lieved the law of Ireland in this matter was perfectly sound, and he should like to see it made the basis of our legislation. The next change was that when a person had been resi dent three years, he should have the benefit of having been resident in the union instead of in the parish. It appeared to him that the principal objection to the bill was in reference to the ninth clause, a matter which would be best discussed in committee. He should be op posed to county rating or national rating, but union rating he believed was a sound principle, because it would be subject to one board of guardians, and he hoped the house would not be alarmed by any visionary apprehension. Mr. BARROW protested against deparochialising our parishes more than they were at present. He protested against a union rate, still more against a county or a na tional rate, but he did not think that this bill was open to such objections. (Hear, hear.) Sir B BR EDGES believed that there would have been stronger representations on both sides of the house with re gard to the bill, if it had been made more thoroughly known to the country. He considered that there would be the greatest possible advantage in maintaining the present parochial system. The house then divided— For going into committee Against it Majority 143 The motion was carried, and the house went into com mittee, but no progress was made, it being only three minutes to four. At four o'clock the Usher of the Black Rod summoned the house to the House of Lords to hear the royal assent given by commission to certain bills. The sitting was then suspended. At six o'clock the house resumed, and was [LEFT SITTING.] LONDON GAZETTE-(7 HIS EVENING.) WHITEHALL, JUNE 26.

" About three minutes after she struck, word was brought to the captain that she was rapidly filling. He went down to see what was wrong, and in a few minutes more the steerage passengers came running up on deck, as the water was already two feet in the steerage, and so rapidly did the water rise that some passengers were drowned before they could get up on deck. For some time after s h e s t ruc k I h a d hopes that, being built in compartments, she would float for some time, so with Mary Anne in one hand and little Katie in the other, I remained quietly en the deck. By this time all the life-preservers had been secured by the passengers; but being too clumsy to take into lifeboats, they were nearly all afterwards dispensed with. One gentleman had an airtight preserver wrapped round his chest, which saved his life, as he was some timein the water. Immediately on seeing the extent of the damage, the captain had given orders to get the eight boats ready, and, as it turned out, there was net a minute to spare, as had there been the lea s t d e l a y in launchi ng th em t h e loss of life would have been much greater. When the boats were pretty well filed with passengers I stepped . up t o t h e captain on the bridge, and asked him if I sho u ld get into the boat, hen he said, Hold on a little.' Mary Anne and I were about the last to get into the captain's boat. After I had put them in, they ref ase d to admit me,. as she as as full. I said I must follow my wife and child. I can assure you, in moments like these, every one looks to himself. The captain and two or three more (sot in after me, and, being quite full, orde rs were given to shove off. They took some few minutes to get of the tackling, as the sea was running pretty high. The steamer was now going down fast, and the anxiety became very great to get clear of the ship, as had we remained by her two or three minutes more we should all have been lost. She imme diately went down, head foremost, with a great plunge, and, when she struck the bottom, the stern, which all this time had been out of water, sunk in a moment. Then followed a loud explosion, leaving the sea foaming and gurgling, and all you could see of the wrecked steamer was a few spars and a few bodies flo a ti ng a b out , an d one b oa t t urne d upside down, with a man sitting astride on the keel. But our danger was not yet over. In fact, the impres sion was that we should be swamped in tee whirl pool ; but, by pulling desperately at the oars, we got clear of this other danger. We were now adrift on the Atlantic. The land was only about five miles off, but the north of Newfoundland is inha bited only by a few fishermen, so that we were in danger of starvation from hunger and cold, and this might have been our fate had we not b een picked up by four vessels, which very remark ably hove in sight just as we were wrecked. The captain, as soon as possible, chartered one of the vessels to bring us here. I will not now describe our passage, but I can assure you we had to put up with no small amount of discomfort. The first night we slept on deck, and a bitter cud wind chilled us through. In the cabin there were only five beds for about 20 ladies, so that a few hours at a time was all that an y one cou ld ge t. All th e sailors and passengers, excepting a few ladies who slept sitting or lying about the cabin, went into the ship's hold at night, and slept there, with a few hoops and sails spread over a cargo of salt. It was a strange sight to see about 160 of us lying in the hold, with sails for a blanket. Such a noise and confusion—some grumbling that they had not enough room; some that they could not stretch. themselves; some were frightened, even strong looking men, that some nights when we were among the ice they were running up on deck every ten minutes. I believe ono night we were in some dan ger, being in the midst of icebergs, and I was told that in one instance we passed between two almost near enough to reach them with the hand. Some of these icebergs were of immense size, not unlike Ailsa Craig. There has been an unusual quantity of ice on this coast this spring. I will only further remark, in relation to our shipwreck, that Captain Graham conducted himself with perfect coolness and judgment during so dreadful a scene ; and it was no doubt a good deal owing to his presence of mind in immediately launching the boats that so many lives were saved. There was little of that excitement and terror which we frequently hear of on such oc casions, and which greatly increase the risk of loss. The only exception to this was the cowardly conduct of some five of the crew, who went off in one of the boats, instead of waiting for others who were as anxious to escape as they were. The mail conduc tor, a very nice man, was lost in his over-anxietv to save the mails." PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS—JUNE 25. EAST INDIA CIVIL SERVICE BILL.

DEPARTURE OF THE GREAT EASTERN.—The Great Eastern, Captain Kennedy, took her departure from Liverpool at about 12.30 yesterday. The scene as the " big ship" passed down the Mersey was ex ceedingly fine. The weather was brilliant, and enormous crowds lined the sides of the river, landing stages, pier heads, &c., and cheered lustily as the ship passed. On board the vessel all was animation and excitement, and the soldiers returned the cheering with a will. Th,e two Tee" mental bands on board kept playing patriotic and other airs , and frequent discharges of the ship's cannon assisted in raising the enthusiam which prevailed. The altu i p threaded her way beautifully out to sea and crossed tha :bar shortly after two o'clock. orks the ld ise his also s is Share 13.14 stock stock stock stock 12i 10 stock 6.4.0. stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 19.16.4 stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 12 10 itock stocir stock stock stock stock 5 6 107 981 i 1111 44i 931 1208 I 12! 844 81 614 2
