CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The opinion is now very prevalent that some heavy consignments of gold will leave this country during the present week, and the probable renewal of the late efflux is causing much uneasiness in Monetary circles. In fact, should any large *withdrawal be effected from the Bank to day, it is expected that the directors will at their meeting to - morrow further enhance their official minimum quotation. Under these circumstances, it is no wonder that the bill brokers care little for fresh business, and refuse all negotiations in mercantile paper, unless , it be short dated. A similar uncertainty prevails in all the principal continental cities, but there the unfavour able feeling has been engendered by causes quite opposite to that occasioned in this country. Trade here is sound and healthy, and the only fear is that the precious metals expected from this country on too large a scale may be detremental to our in terests. About 15,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation. The Etna, from New York, has arrived with £28,000. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon a farther advance took place. The directors of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada, in their report to the proprietors for the half-year to the 30th September last, state that the net profits during that period amount to £14,804 2s. 5d., which, added to the sum brought forward from March, gives a balance at credit of revenue of £14,874 9s. Bd. Oat of this balance a dividend at the rate of 8-1, per cent, per annum, less income-tax, is recommended on the paid•up capital stock of the company; that one-half of the surplus profits over 6 per cent. per annum, and the usual charge for interest, amounting to gether to £14,084 Bs. Bd., be carried to the reserve fund, in accordance with the provisions of the 115ya1 Charter of Incorporation; and that £250 be applied to the redemption of preliminary ex penses. There will then remain the sum of £227 11s. to the credit of the next half-year's accounts. During the period embraced by these accounts the reserve fund has been charged with the sum o £613 12s. 6d. for losses on realization of securities in default, and the amount standing to the credit of this fund, after adding the £4,084 Bs, 8d above referred to, will be £51,742 15s. id. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 05c. Flat. The unfavourable feeling regarding the future of monetary relations has prejudicially affected the Stock Exchange markets, whose appearance to-day is much depressed. The English Funds have fur ther receded 1 per cent. in audition to the decline of last evening, and Consols are consequently quoted 921 1 for money, and 911 1, less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes and Reduced An nuities are 901 8 ; the New 21 per Cents., 76 ; the 30 Years' Annuities, 14;1- ; and the Exchequer Bills B s. dis: India Stock is firm at 223 ; the 5 per Cent. Loan at 1081 ; the 4 per Cent. do., at 100 1 ; and the Enfaced 51 1 per Cent., 114 1. A further general decline has taken place in the Foreign Market this morning upon a pressure of speculative sales, and business is dull. Turkish 6 Per Cents., 1862, are 701; do., Consolides 461 471 ; Mexican, 371 ; Greek, 291 30 ; do., Coupons, 141 ; Spanish Passive, 331 341 ; do., Certificates, 121 13; Italian, 70: 1 -' I ; Portuguese, 481 4 ; do.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been d ull, and prices have, in most instances, shown con. aiderabie depression. Great Eastern, Great Northern, and North Eastern, (Berwick), have de clined 10a. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 155.; Great Western, and South Eastern, £1 ; and Metropolitan, 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines show no material alteration in values. Bank Shares are doll, and in several instances Want.? less.firmness. In the Miscellaneous Market also there is con slderable depression. London Financial Shares have receded to 221; General Credit to 011; Dis count Corporation to 10; and Egyptian Trading Company to 4 to 41. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock — 3 per Cent.

SHIP DESTROYED BY FIRE.—On the 22d of October, at 7 p.m., an explosion was seen from St. Michaels, about nine miles south of Villa Franca, supposed to be some vessel on fire, which had blown up, Part of the deck, bowsprit, and topmast of a large vessel, also some planks of the poop deck, painted white, some of which were burnt, had been washed on shore subsequently on the north side of the island, but without any mark to identify the name of the vessel. 13.14. 1 6.4.0 19.16.4 12.10 49 81 1251 1284 135/ E2l 3 2f 109 I 1021 f lOU 18}8} 117 f 154 127 I 1271 li i p 1011 1 58 a i 88 t 01 32 931 43i I THE SUN, LON.DON, WEDNESDAY EVENING,, NOVEVIBiIIi, 18, 1863. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chi e f_ Baron and Barons Bramwell, Channell, and Pigott.) THE ATTORNEY GENERAL V. SULTAN AND OTHERS.--THE SEIZURE OF THE ALEXANDRA. Sir Hugh Cairns continued his argument against the rule, with a view to maintaining that the finding of the jury at the trial should stand. He said the question he was con sidering at the adjournment yesterday was whether, sup posing you could show any point of evidence that there was being built in this country a ship wholly unarmed and wholly unequipped, that it could be proved that there was an arma ment prepared, and made ready for that ship (the armament being at the time stored up in some repository)and.if at the same time you had conclusive and distinct evidence that there waslno intention to put that equipment on board in this country, but, o a the contrary, the intention was to put it on board out of the Queen's dominions,—whether that could be an equipment, furnishing, or fitting out ? That was the question put by Mr. Baron Bramwell in the way of sug gestion. The learned counsel contended, that if it were intended to ship the armament on the high sea outside the neutral port, it was an attempt to aria, and did not come within the grasp of the Act, not even if it were clearly proved that the intention was to ship the arma ment. The learned counsel then referred to the cases of the Oreto and the Alabama. Both ships were built at Liverpool, both left our shores without proceedings having been taken against them. No proceedings were taken against the Oreto until she arrived at Nassau, and there the case was brought before the Vice-Admiralty Conrt there. The gravamen of the charge was that she took in munitions of war while in the waters of N assau. The Oreto was tried and acquitted. Clearly the view taken by those who took proceedings against the ship was that short of something that could be considered q. warlike proceeding they could not take proceedings against the ship. The Alabama case is exactly similar in respect to its building. It was not till the Alabama reached the Azores that she received her stores, her captain, or her papers and hoisted the Con federate flag. It was not until after she had parted from our shores that she became a ship of war. The case against the Oreto broke down because there was an absence of evidence of warlike equipment, The present Attorney- General, in a speech during the last session of Parliament, admitted bat though there were grounds of suspicion against the Oreto, there was an absence of that kind of equipment which would have justified her seizure. The law advisers of the Crown considered that sometning must be done in the shape of armament before proceedings could be taken. Mr. Huskisson said that was a combi nation of ship and armament that constituted the offence. The ;earned counsel then said he would consider the evidence heard in the case of the Alexandra—the actual evidence in the case, about the condition of the ship, not with respect to the intent, but with respect to the condition of the ship. Having read the evi dence, he intended commenting on it; he said that the questions arising on the evidence resolved themselves into very simple elements. The question of a hull, he appre hended, was altogether placed on one side. There was no suggesdon that there was anything in preparation which was not on board, except that a part of the machinery which might have been required to complete the whole machinery of the ship was in course of preparation. He contended that nothing in the ship at the time was an equipment of any kind. Machinery, masts, and hammock net tinge, which were on board, could not be called an equipment— they were common to all ships. An attempt had been made to prove that guns were in preparation for the ship. He pro ceeded to read the evidence given at the trial in support of the point; after which he contended that there was not a scintilla of evidence there connecting the guns (spoken of as in course of preparation) with the Alexandra. Baron Bramwell—What is your intention in this argu ment ?—that there was no evidence to go to the jury. Sir Hugh Cairns--I say there was no evidence at all con necting these guns with the ship. Ba ron Brarnwell—Could these defendants be called to give evidence ? The Attorney-General—No doubt they could. Baron Bramwell—l am very glad to hear you say that, Mr. Attorney-General. The Attorney-General—That is my impression. I mean to say that we have never entertained a d oubt on the question The Lord Chief Baron, after some consideration and con sultation on the bench, said that there was a difference of opinion on the question. The case was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) ROOKER V. ROOKER AND NEWTON. This was a suit by the Rev. William Yates Rooker for divorce from his wife (who entered no appearance), on the ground of her adultcrylwith Henry Skipmore Newton. The petitioner, who was in orders, married the respondent in Virginia, where he was officiating in 1842. After co habiting till 1862, during which period there were four children, a st,paration took place in this country, in conse quence of the intemperance of his wife, and the connection between her and the co-respondent was then formed. A letter from the respondent to the Rev. James Rooker, brother of the petitioner, in which she admitted her guilt, stating that she had been taken advantage of while under the influence of drink, and inclosing a letter to her husband entreating forgiveness, was read as a confession of guilt. The Rev. James Rooker said he was incumbent of Lower Gernill, in Staffordshire, and a magistrate. His brother, the petitioner, had a cure at Christchurch, Winchester, Virginia, and afterwards at St. Paul's, Louisville, Ken tucky. His brother returned to England in 1853, and he and his wife lived for some time in Mornington-crescent. Mrs. Rooker was constantly drunk. She went back to America in 1861, but on the breaking out of the war she returned to England; but from her intemperate habits it was atranged that she should leave her husband and come to his neighbourhood. She lived in his house for some time, but eventually she occupied a cottage near it. She had an advance from her husband, which was paid re gularly. About the end of 1862 he heard rumours in the parish, which induced him to have her residence watched. The result was that the co-respondent, who was leader of his church choir and superintendent of the Sunday school, was in the habit of constantly visiting the respondent and taking supper there. In January, 1863, he (witness) visited Mrs. Rooker's house unexpectedly, and there found the re spondent and co-respondent enjoying themselves at supper, and immediately atter that the present proceedings were instituted. Mr. Staveley Hill took an objection to the legality of the marriage in Virginia, and the identity of the two persons (the petitioner and respondent) mentioned in the certificate. Mary Bates slid she lived at Lower Gornill, and knew Mrs. William Rooker. On the 31st of December, 1862, she saw Mr. Newton in her house. Ho came in while she (witness) was there. Some other persons came is with him. They had been practicing singing for a tea party that was to take place the next day. Mr. Newton did not leave when the other parties did, because Mrs. Rooker took his hat off and put it over her own head. When he was going he asked Mrs. Rooker for his hat, but she said she had a word or two to say to him before he left. Mrs. Rooker ordered her (witness) to leave the room, but she refuted at first, saying she shon4l not go till Mr. Newton did, because he had got a wife. Mrs. Rooker got up her temper, and then she thought she had better go out. She went home and got her shawl, and then went round to the window of the house, and after listening some time, she heard Mr. Newton and Mrs. Rooker kissing and very comfortable together. (Laughter.) She could not hear what they were talking about, but they were very comfortable, that was certain. (Laughter.) The counsel for the respondent said he should not further resist the petition, and, therefore, as far as he was con corned, there was an end of the case. The Judge-Ordinary said he considered the allegations had been substantiated, and therefore he was satisfied adultery had bean committed ; but he would consider whether the evidence was sufficient to prove the marriage. regard to the rights of others, Here the bankrupt was present, and was entitled to be heard. He (his Honour) thought that in all cases where learned counsel could not attend they ought to hand over their brief to some other gentleman at the bar. In this case nothing appeared in the proceelings to show any ground for opposing the bankrupt passing his examination, as the official assignee reported that the accounts were verified by the books. Mr. Bazley said he knew nothing of the facts. His Honour said the bankrupt would pass his examina tion, and perhaps Mr. Preston would consent that the dis charge should stand. It was ultimately arranged the question of discharge should stand over for a week. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) RELEASES. His Honour said that there were three cases for release before him in this court, and in neither of which had the rule of court been complied with for filing the affidavit of service of notice with the registrar; and the cases ought to be struck out, and they would on future occasions. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) ROBERTS V. WILSON.-RER MAJESTY'S PROCLAMATION AGAINST SMOKING. This was an action to recover damages for the breakage of a certain pipe belonging to plaintiff. Plaintiff said that some time ago a friend in Aberdeen presented him with a very handsome pipe, and he had smoked it. Thinking it would look all the better for a mounting, he intrusted it to defendant, who broke it all to pieces. His Honour—Well, defendant, did you break this pipe ? Defendant--I could not help it. I put a piece of silver on it, and was just wiping it when it fell all to atoms. Plaintiff—lt was worth quite 12s. Defendant—l can only say that I showed it to a person who knew all about pipes, and he said it was not worth more than 3s. His Honour—Well, I shall award plaintiff Is. Verdict for Is. As the parties were leaving the box his Honour said— " Don't you k now th a t t h e Queen has forbidden smoking in Windsor Castle? I supposo after this the young men who are now so fond of it will be giving it up." POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ARLBOROTJ GH REET STABBING A LICENSED VICTUALLER.—Wm. Jones, a baker, was charged before Mr. Yardley with stabbing Mr. Arthur Thos. Groom, landlord of the Angel, High-street, St. Giles's. The prisoner, it appears, went into the house of the pro secutor last night and greatly annoyed the customers. Mr. Groom put the prisoner out of his house, and while doing so felt himself stabbed in the arm—the wound having been inflicted with a pair of scisgors. Mr. Groom then gave the the prisoner into the custody of John Wright, 82 E, who said the prisoner, after he had been in custody, said " I'll do for the -- yet." Prisoner said that Mr. Groom kicked him in the stomach. He hoped the magistrate would deal mercifully with him. Mr. Groom also asked that the prisoner might be leniently dealt with. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for a month, with hard labour, stating that but for the recommendation to mercy from the prosecutor he should have committed the prisoner for two months. SELLING FIREWORKS WITHOUT A LICENSE.—WiIIiam Wilson, of 74, Bolsover•streer, attended to answer the com plaint of Inspector Garforth, of the E division, of selling fireworks without a license, contrary to the 23d and 24th Vic,, cap, 139, sec. 8, which enacts that any person selling fireworks without a license shall, for every such offence, forfeit any sum not exceeding £5. The case having been proved by Chapple, 46 E, The defendant said he was not aware that a license was required for the sale of a few small fireworks to boys. Mr. Yardley said the defendant ought to have informed himself of the fact that a license was required, and fined the defendant 10s, and costs. COMMITTED WITHOUT A FINE.—A NARROW ESCAPE. —William Street, a man who refused his address, was charged before ➢lr. Yardley with assaulting Mr. Charles Reuben Smith, landlord of the King and Prince of Wales Tavern, Brick-street, Piccadilly, and also with wilfully damaging a spirit cask. Mr. Smith said about 10 o'clock the previous night 'the prisoner came into his house and made use of vile language towards his (prisoner's) two brothers. He told the prisoner to desist, when he seized up a large metal water jug and flung it at him, but fortunately it missed him, and such was the violence with which it was hurled that it broke a spirit cask. Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner what he had to say. —-- - - Prisoner said he was drunk. Mr. Smith said the prisoner told him that if he had hit him where he intended, he would have smashed his head, and that when he came out of prison he would "do for him." He knew the prisoner as a man that never worked. • Prisoner again said he was drunk at the time. Mr. Yardley said that was no excuse, as he might have killed the complainant. Carl, 35 C, said in taking the prisoner into custody, he said if he had hit the complainant where he intended, .he would not have been there to charge him. Mr. Yardley said it was a fortunate thing the prisoner had not killed the complainant. The prison:r was then committed for two months, with hard labour. THAMES. BREAKING A WOMAN'S ARM.—Mary Leary, a young woman, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with assaulting Mary M'Grath, an elderly woman, whose right arm was in a splint. Both women are natives of Ireland and next-door neigh bours. They had quarrelled on Wednesday last in conse quence of Mrs. M'Grath refusing to take care of some goods for a countrywoman, and putting them into the street. Mrs. Leary said she would have satisfaction, and on meeting her neighbour next day in St. Anne's-lane, Limehouse, she gave her a push and knocked her down. The old woman fell on her arm and sustained a compound fracture. She has beeu under medical treatment ever since, and is not likely to recover the use of her arm for a long time. Eliza Smith, living in the same house as the complainant, was coming down the street, and saw Mrs. McGrath fall. Mrs. Leary ran away, and she heard her exclaim, " I have had satisfaction." Mr. Stoddart, splicitor, who defended the prisoner, said the prisoner was passing along the street where both women lived with a large basket on her arm, and acciden tally pushed against the complainant, who was carrying a can of milk. The complainant was about to strike the prisoner with the can, and to save herself from the intended blow she pushed the old woman away from her, and she fell down. He was instructed the old woman was subject to fits. He was unable to call any witnesses. Mr. Woolrych, who took great pains in eliciting the truth and closely interrogated the witnesses, said he was quite satisfied of the truth of the complainant's statement. The prisoner said she would have satisfaction on Wednes day, and meeting with the old woman, pushed her down and broke her arm. He did not believe that the prisoner intended to break the woman's arm. • If he believed she hid any such intention he would have committed her for trial. He must however punish the prisoner with some considerabto severity, for she was answerable for the injury she had done, though she did not intend to break the old woman's ann. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for three months in the House of Correction and kept to hard labour. MAGNIFICENT ORIENTAL GIFTS were presented to the Emperor and Empress of the French on the day of the official reception, by the Anne.mite ambassadors. Several articles of furniture in laeker ; workboxes in ivory ; two enormous elephant's tusks mounted in silver ; two rhinoceros' horns mounted in gold; a palanquin similar to that used by the Emperor of Annam, and destined for the Prince Imperial ; a handsome sabre mounted in gold, with the hilt in jade and the scabbard in transparent tortoise shell; a dragon in gold, und er g la ss; and a bl oc k o f eag l e wood. which has a delicious p er fume, and representing a celebrated and sacred grotto in the country. The most in. terestiog object of all, however, is a _ large carpet of red cloth, on which is embroidered the one hundred transfortua tions of the character of the Cochin Chinese alphabet, which signifies longevity. A POLISH LADY, enceinte, was the week before last sentenced to five lashes. On the husband rEmonstrat iog, the number was raised to ten. What English gentle man would sit at the same Board of Congress with those who, if they do not perform, countenance these acts of bar barity ? Certainly, an English ruffian would feel dishon oured by the contact. The offence of the lady was that she did not carry a lantern. lASTLEY'S THEATRE.—Mr• E. T. Smith has taken the Royal Astley's Theatre for a term of years, and will open at Christmas. The French mount into a fort by an entire regi ment climbing over a living ladder of six men, one on the shoulders of the other, against the wall. The iron-clad ship ettledunia has been removed from the Victoria Docks to Sheerness, in order to hasten her completion for sea. Her Majesty the Queen has remitted a donation of £3 to Mrs. Mitchell Robertson, Carnoustie, on account of her having had three children at one birth. DR. DUNCAN MACPHERSON, INSPECTOR-GENE RAL or HOSPITALS IN THE MADRAS PRESIDENCY, has made a very satisfactory report of the system of giving use ful employment to the soldiers in barracks, and the influence produced thereby on the health and condition of the men. TUE LATE WRECKS ON THE CORNISH COAST. The bodies of three more unfortunates have been washed ashore on the north coast of Cornwall. One was also picked up on Saturday near Zennor. On his left arm was a representation of a full-rigged ship, and a sailor having the English ensign over his shoulder. On Friday and Saturday Mr. Rickens, coroner, presided at inquests upon the men who were wrecked from the Lon• don and Adrian.. Open verdicts were returned i 9 each case . • , TURNER V. TURNER. This was an undefended suite instituted by Susannah Turner for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery and bigamy. From the evidence it appeared that the respondent was a farmer, and the marriage was solemnised at Sion Chapel, Yorkshire, in 1852, after which the parties went to reside at Leeds. They lived together till 1856, when he sold the furniture and went to America, leaving the petitioner en tirely dependent upon her relations and friends for relief. The petitioner heard nothing from the respondent tilllBsB, when she received two letters from s him, in the latter of which he asked her to come to him in America. She wrote to him informing him that she was without the means, and after that all correspondence ceased. In 1860 he married a female, named Catherine Crouch, with whom he had been living with ever since. The case w as ordered to stand over for further proof or the second marriage, ----- COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr, Commissioner Holroyd.) RE LATILEUR Y — ABSENCE OP COUNSEL. This bank:upt was described as a cattle dealer, of Kentish town, and this was a meeting for last examination and dis charge. Mr. Preston appeared for the bankrupt, and it was stated that there was an opposition, but Mr. Sargood, who had been retained for the opposing creditor, was engaged before the Lords Justices on an appeal case, and an adjournment was asked. Mr. Preston opposed the application, on the ground that it would be a hardship on the bankrupt to postpone the case because the other side were not prepared. His Honour said that no doubt the rule was to go on, but, as Mr. Sargood was unavoidably absent, perhaps Mr. Preston would consent to the case standing over. Mr. Preston said he was desirous of showing every courtesy to counsel, but he could not do so to the disadvan tage of his client Mr. Bazley soon after appeared for Mr. Sargood, and pressed for the adjournment, and said that, in all the aupe rior courts where counsel were absent, on an appeal from that court it invariably postponed a case. lie lioneur said that he was at all times anxious for the convenience of counsel, but he could not do so without LONDON GAZETTE—Last Evening, FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 10.
