4 ONE y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The business transactions in the general discount market show that the demand is well maintained, and the rates continue firm. The failure has been announced of Messrs. John Wilson, jun. and Co., Russian merchants, of. Old Broad -street, with liabilities estimated at below 40,000. Their suspension has been produced by the stoppage of Messrs. Dye and Co., of Sr. Peters. burg, fir whom they were agents in this country. At the second ordinary general meeting of the Westminster Brewery Company, held to-day, the directors proposed that a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax, be paid out of the avail able balance of £3,950. About £77,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The North American, from New York, has ar rived with £ll,BOO. The prospectus has appeared of the Adelaide (North Arm) Port an 3 Railway Extension and Land Company, South Australia, with a capital of £400,000, the first issue of which will comprise 10,000 shares of £2O each. It is proposed to con struct about 2,000 feet of wharf frontage, where ves sels of the largest tonnage may lay alongside, and ro erect wharves, warehouses, and other conveniences, affording ample accommodation to the shipping re sorting to the port; also to lay down two miles of railway to complete the line already laid down by the Government, from the city of Adelaide to the North Arm, and a short line of four and a half miles to the Dry Creek Station on the Great North and Murny River Railway, which will effect a saving of twelve miles of carriage between the great producing districts and the port of the colony. Interest is to be paid at the rate of 5 per cent. Fer annum on the subscribed capital unti, the works are so far completed as to enable the directors to com mence business. The object of the company may be regarded as national, if the dangerous, narrow, and tortuous channel leading to the present port of Adelaide be compared to the intended harbour, which possesses deep water and safe anchorage. The question of constructing a new quay appears to have been long under the consideration of the Legislative Council of the colony, and an appendix is furnished with the prospectus proving the desi rability of the project. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : 1863. 1862. Great Western 560,183 £64,231 North-Western South- Western Brighton Midland South-Eastern 22,243 23,3u6 Great Northern I ancashire and Yorkshire 34,170 31,964 North Eastern Bristol and Exeter Manchester, Sheffield. and Lincoln 13.7'8 14,295 Great Western of Canada These returns are generally of an unsatisfactory character. On the Great Western there is a de. crease of £4,048, on the South Western of £382, on the Brighton of £9 . 968, on the Midland of £3,654, on the South Eastern of £1,063, on the North astern of £1.855, and on the Manchester, Shef field, and Lincoln of £587. The North Western, however, shows an increase of £1,265, the Great Northern of £229, the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £2,206 and the Great Western of Canada of £1,322. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 69f. 55c., 69f. 45c. Animate. The •general situation of business in the market for the English Funds presents no change of im portance, and the tendency of quotations is still rather unsatisfactory. Speculation is very much curtailed, but the few operations daily reported show that the operators are more inclined to pro ceed for a fall than an advance in prices. Consols have been 918 s for money, and 92 -} for the July account, but they are now a per cent. better —viz., 918 92, and 928 a respectively.

The Queen, accompanied by Princess Helena, walked and drove in the grounds this morning. Princess Helene, Princess Louise, and Prince Leopold, attended by Lady Augusta Bruce, Hon. Beatrice Byng, Lord Methuen, Lieutenant-General Hon. C. Grey, Major-General Hon. A. Hood, Lieutenant-Colonel Hon. D. de Ros, and Mr. Buff, left Windsor Castle at a quarter past two o'clock for London, to be present at the ceremony of the uncovering of the memorial in the Horteultural gardens at South Kensington. Their royal highnesses proceeded first to Marl borough House to join the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince Alfred, and Princa Arthur. The royal family drove from thence to South Kensington. The Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, attended by Lieutenant-Colonel Keppel, rode on horseback yesterday morning. The Princess ot Wales took a carriage drive. The Princesses Helena and Louise and Prince Leopold arrived at Marlborough House at twenty minutes past three o'clock yesterday afternoon from Windsor Castle. Their royal highnesses were at- tended by Lady Augusta Bruce, the Hon. Beatrice Byng, Lord Methuen, Lieutenant-General Hon. C. Grey, Major-General the Hon. A. N. Hood, Lieu tenant-Colones the Hon. de Ros, and Mr. Buff. Prince Arthur, attended by Major Elphinstone, aft erwaras arrived at Marlborough House. The Prince of Wales left Marlborough House at a quarter before four o'clock to uncover the me morial of the Exhibition of 1851, and the statue of the Prince Consort. His royal highness was ac companied by the Princess of Wales and other members of the royal family. The procession was composed of six dress carriages with an escort of Life Guards. In the first carriage were Major Elphinstone, Lieutenant-Colonel Keppel, Major Cowell, and Mr. Buff. In the second carriage were the Hon. Robert H. Meade, Major-General the Hon. A. N. Hood, and Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. D. de Hos. In the third carriage were the Hon. Mrs. Stoner, the Hon. Beatrice Byng, Lieutenant-General the Hon. C.

In the fifth carriage were the Princess Louise, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, and the Countess de Grey and Ripon. In the sixth carriage were the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince Alfred, and Princess Helena. The Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Oxford. Oxford is all astir with preparations for the re ception oi the Prince and Princess of Wales on the 16th inst. The University authorities, the under graduates, the town council, and the inhabitants generally are all making the necessary arrange ments, and there is every prospect that the ancient and loyal city wil' present a scene of gaiety and exuberance unparalleled since the installation of the Duke of Wellington, and scarcely inferior to the visit, forty- nine years ago, of the Prince Regent, the Emperor Alexander, the King of Prussia, and uther celebrities. State etiquette, as well as the traditions of the university, prevented the bestow ment of any academical distinction upon his Royal highness while he was in residence, but the univer sity authorities have taken the earliest opportunity of inviting him to pay a visit to his Alma Mater, and receive from their hands the highest honour it is in their power to bestow. The proceedings in the Sheldonian Theatre, where his Royal Highness will receive the honorary degree of D.C.L., are, therefore, being looked forward to with unusual in terest. The Earl of Derby, the Chancellor of the University, and a numerous end distinguished com pany, are expected to be present. On the following day (Wednesday), the Enccenia, or a commemora tion of Founders and Benefactors, will take place in the Theatre, when his Royal Highness, accom panied by the Princess of Wales, will take his place amongst the doctors, and degrees will be conferred upon several distinguished personages, including the Duke of Newcastle, the Right Hon. Edward Cardwell, M.P., Sir Hugh Cairns, M.P., Sir Saf ford Northcote, M.P., Mr. Seymour Fi'zgerald, &c. A grand collation, given by the University, will take place in the library of All Souls' College, and their Royal Highnesses are then expected to pro ceed to the Freemasons' fete in Worcester College gardens, The Prince and Princess will subsequently witness some University aquatics on the river Isis, being conveyed from Folly Bridge to the University barge in a new and handsome boat now in course of construction by Messrs. Salter, the well-known boat-builders of Oxford and Wandsworth. Later in the evening the royal party will be entertained by the Vice-Chancellor at a grand banquet in Exeter College, and will honour with their presence a grand ball given by the undergraduates of Christ Church, of which college the Prince of Wales is a member. A very distinguished circle will be in vited to meet their Royal Highnesses at Exeter College, including the Duke of Cambridge, the Early of Derby, Mr. Gladstone, the Duke of Buc clench, and the newly-made doctors. The city is already fest filling with visitors, and the demand for lodgings is greater than has been known for many years. The Countess of Derby has issued cards for a select evening party to have the honour to meet their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales after dinner on the 24th inst., on which day their Royal High nesses have accepted an invitation to dine with the Earl and Countess of Derby. The Prince of Orange honoured the Countess (Dow.) of Jersey with his presence at dinner on Tuesday, at her ladyship's residence in Berkeley-square. A distin guished circle met his royal highness. The Prince of Manganelli and Chevalier Rai mondo Pettini and suite have arrived at the Brunswick, Jermyn-street, from Italy. The Emperor Napoleon's "Life of Caesar" is at last in the printer's hands, the Pr esse assures us. It will fill three volumes. The firs is ready, the second is in pro gress, and both will be published together. The third will appear afterwards. CHATTERTON'S PAUPER GRAVE.—Mere to the left, on the site now taken up by that dingy, half lighted market of Farringdon, provided as an asylum for the sweet smells and pleasant sights of Fleet Market, until 1825 was the pauper burial-ground of St. Andrew's, Hol born. None of our readers can be ignorant of the terribly truthful picture of a City graveyard drawn by Dickens in " Bleak House." The spot in question might be described in the same words. It had nothing to assi milate it to our modern fancy cemeteries; a few feet of uneven earth, which no careful spade had ever been at the pains to level; no gravestones, not even a sin gle unpointed stake, to indicate the coffin below; but here a brick, covered with green mould, and there a cluster of nettles or rank weeds; and, commonly close under the wall, a deep, open pit, yawning until its full tale of dead was completed. A few handfuls of rubbish cover it from notice. A sad tragedy was enacted in this neigh bourhood ; and a suicide's grave, dug amidst the moulder ing remains of sin, pain, and want, was to confer a dismal notoriety on this spot which none of its former occupants had given it. The parish register records—" Aug. 28, 1770. —William (Thomas) Chatterton [with 'the poet' added afterwards], interred in the graveyard of Shoe Lane Work house." These few words are pregnant with awful inte rest, and include with bitter brevity the whole biography of a gifted but hapless son of genius, who crowded into an exi tence of 18 years more of intellectual promise than ever fell to the lot of one individual in so brief a period.—Lon don Scenes and London People. VISIT OF THE DUKE OF SAXE COBURG TO VIENNA, —The Ausburg Gazette says :—" Duke Ernest of Saxe-Coburg will shortly pay a visit to the court of Vienna, and this journey is generally regarded as sym ptomatic of a sudden change in the political ideas which that court has appeared to share hitherto. It is known that its marked inclination towards Prussia, the military convention which it has concluded with that state, and the decided attitude which it has assumed on many internal questions, have gradually alienated the court of Vienna and the coalitation of Wurtsburg. The visit which the duke paid to Dresden in the month of February was the first step taken with a view to a union. It is with a feeling of satisfaction that the duke is now expected at Vienna, where the importance of his ersonal influence is justly ap preciated." LAW INTELLIGENCE—TIiis Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbuin.) IN RE PEARSON. The bankrupt was a shipowner, &c,, in Liverpool and London, and to-day was appointed for his last examination. Mr. Lawrance appeared for the assignees, and Mr. C. E. Lewis for the bankrupt, and an application was made for a further adjournment, as the accounts were very voluminous, but were in a forward state of preparation. His Honour said there bad been frequent adjournments. Mr. Lawrance said the nature of the accounts were such that no blame could attach to the bankrupt. His Honour granted a further adjournment fcr six weeks. SHARE MARKETS 7 -This day, ORDINARY SHARES AND STOU&S, share, Railways. Bir., Wol., and Str. Val. Blythe and Tyne.

IN ilk: FRENCH. Mr. Lawrance applied in the case of this bankrupt, a boatowner, at Chatham, for the leave of the Court to ap point an accountant. Mr. Registrar Winslow had certified it to be a case in which the assistance of an accountant was desirable. Mr. C. E. Lewis read an affidavit by the bankrupt, showing that a very large sum of money had already been paid by the official assignee, and as there were 800 debtors to [the estate :the bankrupt's assistance was principally required to realise the amount due. His Honour asked why Mr. Registrar Winslow had not made an order? Mr. Lawrence said the appointment must be sanctioned by the Court. His Honour—Have you agreed as to the accountant P - - Mr. Lawranee—Oh, yes, Mr. Jos. Hart, of Moorgate street. His Honour—Let it be so. IN RE VIVIA.N. In this case his Honour said that there was a deficiency in the accounts of £l,OOO. The bankrupt bad said that he had sworn to it without reading it—accountants made figures, but not facts, and to them it was not material, as they did not have to swear to them—the only course in this case was to adjourn the case sine die, with leave for the bankrupt to c(ane up when he had amended his accounts to the satisfaction of the Court, and protection would be granted for two months. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) Albert Herschman, 26, a merchant, was indicted, that he having been duly adjudged a bankrupt did within three months of the filing of the petition, unlawfully obtain on credit goods to the amount of £lOO, and fraudulently dis posing of his estate with intent to defraud his creditors. The prisoner carried on business in Moorgate-street as a general merchant, and was in the habit of trading with various mercantile houses in the City, and transmitting the goods for disposal to Hamburg. He evidently went to that country himself, reporting that he was proceeding to Scot land. The petitioning creditors and assignees are Messrs. Moses, Son, and Davis, to whom he was largely indebted, the prosecution being instituted by the other creditors in conjunction with them. The case is devoid of public interest, and will occupy the entire day. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) James Johnson, 22, a turner, and Henry Grimshaw, 23, labourer, remanded from last session, were indicted with breaking into and entering the dwelling-house of William Bing, and stealing three beds, value £2O, and further for stealing 13 yards of carpet The prisoners were also charged with Benjamin Everett, who was convicted on Tuesday of receiving a quantity of boots and shoes, knowing the pro peri y to have been stolen. It was or e of the numerous cases arising out of the dis closures made by a man named Yates, a notorious receiver of stolen goods, and who was convicted at this court and is now undergoing his sentence ; but, with a view of obtain ing a remission of the sentence, he had given up the names of the principals in various robberies. The evidence against the prisoners rested entirely on the approver and accom plice Yates, and as the evidence was not corroborated, The Recorder directed an acquttal. Benjamin Everett was then indicted for stealing 100 pair boots and shoes, 900 yards of elastic web, and 300 " uppers,' but no evcdence was offered. Mr. Montague Chamt ers, Q.C., then addressed the Cour in reference to the case, in which the prisoner Everett was convicted, and said from inquiries that had been made since, he was in a position to prove that the portion of the evi dence given at the trial of the approver Yates was untrue. It was most remarkable that he had fixed the 18th of December as the day on which he had the transaction re lating to the robbery of Mr. Lyons, whereas at the very time he was himself a prisoner in Horsemonger-lane Gaol, showing a clear alio; had he been in a position at the trial to prove the fact. [lad he known so no doubt the jury would have conic to a different conclusion, He felt it his duty to bring the matter before the court, and pressed to call in Keene, the Governor of the prison. Mr. Keene was then called and proved that Yates was in his custody on the 18th December. The Recorder said he would look carefully through the depositions before passing sentence, and to-morrow morn ing he would also have evidence as to character. Another indictment in the same series was then pro ceeded into against Benjamin Close, James Dean, William Winning, Caroline Close, and Caroline Dean, who were charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel from the dwelling-house of Robert Cox. Benjamin Close pleaded guilty, the rest of the prisoners not guilty. The evidence did not sustain the charge iu this case, and the four prisoners were acquitted. Benjamin Close was then put forward for sentence. The police produced a number of housebreaking implements found in his room, and aho a number of previous con victions. The Recorder sentenced him to six years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CASE.—A. GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH DISORDERLY CONDUCT.--ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT BY A POLICE-CONSTABLE —Mr. Charles Danvers, gentleman, of 12. Park-lane, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and riotous in Picea+ illy. N'lntosh, 158 C, deposed to seeing the defendant in Piccadilly wi th a prostitute, pulling her about in an indecent manner, making her scream at the top of her voice, and using indecent language. As the defendant would not leave when requested he took him into custody. The defendant was drunk. Defendant—l deny using any other language than should be used by a gentleman. Cannot a gentleman stand and speak to a female in the streets without being dragged to the station P I had had a little to drink, I admit, but was not drunk. I have a gentleman in court who will speak to my chara , tea . Instead of my using bad language, I charge the constable with doing so, and treating me very ill. Mr. Knox—The inspector who took the charge shall be sent for to state the condition you were in when taken to the station. Sergeant Collings (who took the charge) said defendant was drunk—obstinately drunk. _ _ Defendant--I am in a position to prove that I was not drunk. I had been to my solicitor's, in Lincoln's-inn, and was engaged there till late in the evening on business. I wish emphatically to state that I never made use of the bad language imputed to me, and emphatically to deny that I was drunk. Mr. Knox—Send for the gentleman, then. Defendant—As he is a solicitor, most probably he will bo away from his office. I grant I was a little excited, for if anything like brute force was ever used, it was used to wards me. The constable not only used insulting language towards me, but he ill-treated me, and I feel hurt. I think a gentleman should be treated like a gentleman. Mr. Knox—l have the positive evidence of the police that you were drunk—the' sergeant says obstinately drunk. I, therefore, infer that you did not well know what you were about. If you do not intend to send for the gentleman I shall decide the case by fining you 10s„ or seven days, and perjury you can do so. if you The l d i k e e f e t n o d i a n n d t i c p t a t ihde thecon s t fl a n b e l e , s fo t i r l l p erj denying the charge against him. _ DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUlClDE.—Yesterday evening a man about 40 years of age. named John Limebeer, by trade a shoemaker, and residing:at No. 10, C arna b y - s t ree t , Golden-square, made a most determined attempt to take his life by cutting his throat. It appears that Limebeer, being under the influence of drink, and having had some words with his wife, seized a razor, and inflicted a most frightful wound on his throat. Dr. M•Oscar, of Tyler-street, Itegent street, was immediately sent for, and attended to Limebeer; but, deeming the wound of a most serious nature, recom mended that the man should be taken to an hospital, and Sergeants Kay and Ste?hens lost no time in conveying him in a cab to the Middlesex Hospital, where he received every morning, Sergeant Kay w i attention at the hands of tho medical officers o f th a t insti tution. vas informed ninquir that L inquiring at theitne b hospitaleerwas ths in a very l ow s t a t e , and that thete were but the smallest hopes of his surviving. MARYLEBONE. EX TR AORDINARY AND SHOCKING M URDER OP A Mt.. M ans fi e ld w ith CHILD, AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE . OF THE M URDERESS - — l3 l a te: M y Anne b ( P m a e y , n w e a , s aged a ' L arge d residing at No. 6, Allsopp the murder of her child, Charles Albert Payne, aged two years and three months, She was also further charged, on her own confession, with attempting to commit suicide, first by taking poison, and afterwards by throwing herself out of a second-floor window. Prisoner was allowed to be seated during the inquiry. Maria Spence said-1 am a married woman, and live in the same house as prisoner. About 8 last night I heard a crash, and on going out I saw the prisoner lying in the yard. I screamed for her husband, who went for a doctor. I knew she had a child between tw , , and three years old living with her. Between 5 and 6 o'clock the child was in my yard, playing with my children, when the mother came and took it up to tea, and I saw no more of it. Mary Anne Payne, sister-in-law to prisoner, said—About a quarter after eight I went with my brother into the becl room. for blanket, and on going to the bed thought the child was asleep. I took it into my arms, when its head ftll back and blood came from its throat. I don't remem ber anything more. (Witness burst out crying, and pri soner sat composedly looking at her.) Mr. Sedgwick, surgeon, of 12, Park-place, depased—l was called to 6, Allsopp-place. I saw prisoner on a sofa in the front parlour in a complete state of collapse, resulting from her fall from the window. I examined her to see what injury she had received, and found marks on her elbows and legs. She remained insensible for seven or eight minutes after my arrival, and I had her chest and body rubbed over, and I told her sister to go and get some blankets to cover her with, as she was in her night-dress, and directly after I heard a piercing scream. I attended on prisoner till the return of consciousness, when she spoke very incoherently, and could give no further account of her injuries except that she had slipt off the door step. As soon as she was sufficiently recovered to be left I went upstairs to the second floor back room, and found the bAclothes thrown down to the foot of the bed, and the body of the child lying on the near side of the bed with its throat completely cut across and down the spine, and in the middle of the bed a quantity of clotted blood. The child had evidently been moved from its position. I directed a constable to be sent for, and on his arrival we searched the room, and found a large table-knife with blood on it, and which had apparently been wiped with something. Afterwards a piece of paper was found with blood on it. We then went to the open window and found blood marks, and a small flower-pot was knocked over. There was also some blood in the back yard. After this I again attended the woman, and after succeed ing in restoring warmth I went home, and returned with a reviving draught. She was afterwards sufficiently recovered to inform me of the circumstances of the case. I was in formed that she had taken a large quantity of laudanum. The absence of symptoms of poisoning in her was accounted for because she had been excessively sick in her bed room, where she had vomited the contents of her stomach, consisting of a hearty dinner, into a wash hand basin, and which evidently contained laudanum. She said to me, to use her own words, " I have been for some time low-spirited, and was very low-spirited during nearly the whole time I was in the family-way with my first child. I can't account for my being in low spirits. I went out after dinner with my child, and went into Mr. Williams, che mist, Upper Baker-street, and bought 2d. worth of lau danum for the toothache ; I then called in at Mr. Greenish, chemist, New-street, Dorset• square, and bought another 2d. worth. After that I went to Mi. Howe, chemist, in the same street, and he only let me have a ld. worth. I then bought some grocery, and went home and undressed and went to bed." She had no recollection of throwing hi rself out of the window. I asked her if she was in the family way, and she said she was three or four months gone. She had also attempted to cut her own throat with the knife, as there was a alight mark upon it. Albert Hammett, 270 D, gave evidence which went to corroborate the medical gentleman. He produced the knife, and a piece of paper with blood upon it. Great force must have been used with the knife, es it was very blunt. Prisoner, who sat unconcerned all the time in the dock, declined to put any questions to witness, and was remanded until the depositions might be taken. THAMES. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A TRADESMAN.—Tobias Green, an undertaker and funeral furnisher, who has been established in business for many years at No. 32, St. James-terrace, Shadwell, was brought before Mr. Wool rych charged with knowingly uttering a counterfeit half. crown. Mary Ann Setcomb, barwoman at the Silver Trumpet ale and wine house, Commercial-road East, said the prisoner came there yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon and asked for a glass of fourpenny ale, for which he tendered in payment a counterfeit hair-crown. She took it up, dis covered it was not silver, and exclaimed—" What, another bad one." Mr. Woolrych—What, has he passed base coin at the house before P Witness—Yes, sir; twice. He passed one twelve months ago, and again at the beginning of April in the present year. When I told him this piece was bad, he said, " Well, girl, throw it in the fire as I told you before.'' I said it was very strange, indeed, and my master gave him into custody. Mr. John Hall, the landlord of the Silver Trumpet, said that when the prisoner uttered a counterfeit half .crown for the second time in April, he said to him, "Now, mind, if you do this again, I will give you into custody." In spite of this warning the prisoner repeated the experiment yes terday, and he gave him into custody. He had known the prisoner many years as a tradesman in the adjoining parish, Shad well. ➢ir. Gomm, from the office of Mr. John Hodgson, solici tor, said the prisoner had always borne an unimpeachable character as an upright and respectable tradesman up to the present time, and he would call witnesses. Mr. Woolrych—l will not hear them in the present stage of the investigation. The case must undergo a rigid inquiry, and a report of it made to the solicitor who con ducts the mint prosecutions. I shall remand tho prisoner until Tuesday next. Mr. Gomm.— Will you take bail, sir ? Mr. Woolrych.—Yes, two securities in £7O each, and the prisoner in £l4O. The prisoner, who was crying, and appeared much agi tated, was then removed in the custody of the gaoler. TEA LEGS.—John Thompson, a labourer, aged 23 years, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with stealing 21 lbs. of tea, value 4s. 6d., the property of the London Dock Company. William Edward Spencer, a constable in the ercployment of the London Dock Company, said that the prisoner was about to pass out of the dock yesterday afternoon, at the principal gateway, and observing that he looked bulky about the legs, he stopped him, and found upon him 2/ lbs. of green tea. The tea was in his stockings, and caused his legs to look very thick. The prisoner said he had been at work on the west quay, where teas had been landed. _ Mr. Woolrych—Have you discovered that any chest has been broken open ? Witness—l have not, sir. There are thousands of chests of tea piled one above another in the dock. We are very busy just now. The prisoner has been here before. He had a tube in his possession to abstract wine from the casks, and was drunk. Ho was then sentenced to pay a fine of 95., or be imprisoned six days. Mr. C. T. Braithwaite, a foreman, said the prisoner had been employed in the dock about three months. He set him at work yesterday. Mr. Woolrych sentenced the prisoner to eight days' im prisonment and hard labour for the unlawful possession of the tea. STATE OF TRADE. DUNDEE, June 9.—There was considerable buoyancy in the market to-day. Old flax was much inquired for, and a considerable quantity changed bands, nearly all the sales reported being at previous prices. Fine and medium tow and oodilla were more asked for, and several sales have been made at a small rise in price. Hemp remains dull, and prices as before. The finer qualities of jute are in good demand, but it is difficult to get an a vance corresponding to the rise in England; common qualities are quiet and not dearer. Yarns of all descriptions were in active request to-day, and a good trade was done in them. Flax and tow qualities brought rather more stoney than at Friday's market, and the tendency is still upward. Jute qualities were firm, and prices against buyers for several sizes. The American letters to hand to day advise considerable sales of hessians and other linens, but the prices are complained of, as they leave a very small margin to the shipper. The advices received from other foreign markets are generally favourable. The demand for the home trade keeps well up, and a large business has been done in linens to-day. The makers in town are all full of orders, and in Arbroath,Forfar, and the other towns in the district all continue busily employed. LEICESTER, June 10.—There is a slight improve ment in the demand for some classes of hosiery goods, and business generally is assuming a more healthy character. At Loughborough and Hinck ley business remains dull, and the workpeople are suffering, Yarns hold high in price, and spinners produce with caution so as to keep within the supply. In wools there is no important change, and the demand is tolerable. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, June 9.-30,333 tons of coals, and 3,547 tons of coke, 24,425 cwt. of iron, and 5,382 cwt. of alkali were exported from the Tyne last week. There was an increase in the shipment of coke of 16 tons ; iron, 6,502 cwt. ; and a decrease in the shipment of coals of 4,213 tons, and alkali, 280 cwt. The demand for tonnage for the Mediterranean and the Baltic keeps ex ceedingly good, and there are not many arrivals coastwise ; but the wind having got round to the South a considerable number of light vessels duo, may be expected. Coal freights to London are ss. 61. By advices from Constantinople under June 1, we learn that there has been a large arrival of light vessels from the Mediterranean ports, and a great portion of them se eking charters. During that week a few vessels had been taken for Azoff, but nothing above 535. has been paid, except for one small ship 555. ; but it was telegraphed from Taganrog, on the 31st May, that only 525.

CASE OF SERGEANT LILLEY. The Earl of SaAFTESBUKY gave notice that on Monday next he should ask her Majesty's Secretary of State for War whether it was the intention of the Govern ment to institute any further inquiry into the conduct of Lieut.-Colonel Crawley. VACCINATION (IRELAND) BILL. The report of amendments to this hill was brought up and received. BAKEHOUSES REGULATION BILL. On the motion of Lord ..TANLEY of ALDERLEY, this bill was read a third time and passed. POLAND. The Earl of CARNARVON asked whether the Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs could add any further in formation respecting the nature and provisions of the recent eonvention concluded between the Governments of Russia and Prussia beyond that contained in the correspondence respecting the insurrection in Poland already laid before Parliament. He did not put the question with any desire to embarrass the Government, but as he felt the greatest sympathy with Poland, he was anxious to possess all the information. He thought the conduct of Prussia on this question most reprehensible. If she chose to abolish her Parliament and suppress the press, against that he had not a word to say, she was the mistress of her own affairs, and, therefore, liable to all the cmsequences. But when her policy carried her beyond those limits, and it affected other countries, he considered it was the duty of those countries to speak out. It was well known that a conven tion had been entered into between itussia and Prussia, by the provisions of which, when the Russian troops were beaten by the Poles, they might take refuge on the Prussian frontiers, where they could be recruited and then sent forth in renewed strength. On the other hand, if the Polish insurgents entered the territories of of Prussia they were at once captured and handed over to Russia. A. to the convention itself, Prussia said it was proposed by Russia, whilst Russia seemed less eager to en force its powers than Prussia. The noble earl then pro ceeded to condemn the action of Prussia, and acid it ap peared the chief motive of that Government was to crush every attempt made to obtain constitutional liberty in that part of the world. He put the question merely because.he thought further time should not pass by without some at tempt to obtain further information. Earl RUSSELL said the noble earl had very judiciously avoided all reference to the negotiations now going on with reference to the Poles. At the present moment it was not in his (Earl Russell's) power to add anything to the infor mation to be derived trona the papers now before Par liament. Lord BROUGHAM condemned the conduct of Prussia for entering into such a convention. The Earl of CARNARVON asked the noble earl whether he would give any information relative to the secret article which was alluded to in the convention. Earl RUSSELL said he would not. Their lordships then adjourned.: HOUSE OF COMMONS.--This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. NEW MEMBER. Mr. TOTTENHAM took the oaths and his seat for New Ross. The hon. member was introduced by Col. Taylor and Col. Dunne. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time :—Belfast, Elolywood, and Bangor Railway—Hastings Harbour—Mil ford Haven Dock and Railway—Portadown, Dungannon, and Omagh Junction Railway—West Shropshire Mineral Railway—and Worcester, Dean Forest and Monmouth Railway. SIR J. S. LILLIE. On the motion of Sir DE LACY EVANS an address for a copy of a despatch, dated 1860, from the Portuguese Ambassador to Earl Russell, conveying a strong recom mendation from the Queen of Portugal of Sir J. S Lillie, late a Major-General in the Portuguese army, on account of his eminen , services in several battles while in command of the Anglo-Portuguese regiment was agreed to. THE SLAVE TRADE IN AMERICA. Mr. CONINGHAM asked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether the efforts which had been made hitherto by the British nation, for the suppression of the African slave trade, might not with advantage be extended to the cor.tinent of America, and whether the time had not at length arrived when it became the duty of her Majesty's Government to enter into friendly negotiations with the Federal Government of the United States, for the purpose of concerting measures for the gradual but total suppres sion of the slave trade in the Confederate States. Lord PALMERSTON replied that the hon. member was, no doubt, aware that the Federal Government had entered into a treaty with her Majesty's Government, giving both equal right of search for the purpose of suppressing the slave trade under the protection of the Federal flag. The Confederate States had passed a law which made the slave trade penal; but they had no relations to the Federal States except one of war. Perhaps in the course of a few months circumstances might permit the entering into such nego tiations as those indicated by the hon. member. (Hear.) As her Majesty's Government could not yet acknowledge the independence of the Southern States, no diplomatic communication could take place. In the course of time, should things alter—should the Confederate States succeed in establishing their independence, Government could only hope that the Confederate States would enter into an arrangement similar to the one entered into by the Federal Government. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CONINGHAM, adverting to the latter part of his motion, asked if communication could not be entered into with the Federal Government with a view to the suppres sion of the traffic. Lord PALMERSTON replied that he considered he had replied to that part of the question. (Hear, hear.) The Federal Government had no relation with the South except one of war, and, therefore, could enter into no negociations with them of the ordinary nature. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS REFRESHMENT ROOM. man of the Kitchen and Refreshment Rooms Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked Colonel French,Ctohmemehitateire: to the next the state of the refreshment rooms, with a view what steps they were about to take to Session of Parliament. (Hear, hear.) Col.

Sir G. Glt He had, however, directed the recent report of the Children's E mp l oyment Commission to be laid on the table. He had not received any special report with respect to children employed in paper tube factories. SMALL PDX PATIENTS IN PUBLIC CONVEY. AN CES. Sir A. AGNE W asked the Attorney-General whether officials of railway and steamboat companies might lawfully remove from carriages or vessels under their supervision persons who were obviously labouring under small-pox; and, whether individuals thus wilfully travelling from place to place at the risk of spreading so dreadful a scourge through a whole community, were subject to any penalty on conviction before a magistrate ? The ATTORNEY-UENERAL said these were not questions that could be conveniently put to the law officers of the Crown. However, he would give the best reply in his power. At common law it did not appear to him that the officials inaicated could remove passengers so afflicted. Thera was no act of Parliament on the subject. The second question he answered in the negative—magiArates had no such power. (Hear, hear.) THE ARGENTINE GOVERNMENT. in nreply to Mr. t LAY, Mr. LAYARD said that the facts recited were perfectly true. The Commissioners had refused to acknowledge the principle of the former claims that had been settled. Re presentations bad been made to the Argentine Govern ment to the effect that the course the Commissioners were adopting were contrary to national usage, and he trust therefore that the sittines would he suspeLded. BRITISH CaLUMBIA. In reply to Mr. FITZWILLIA3I 7 Mr. FORTESCUE said that the Secretary of State for the Colonies shortly intended to introduce a bill into th,. other house with respect to the two colonies, when he would enter upon a statement with respect to them. THE RECENT FIRE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. In reply to Mr. HUNT, Mr. COOPER explained that the fire in one of the cor ridors arose from a deposit for years of soot in consequence of some bricks having been left out by mistake for one of the iron arches of the roof and not subsequently filled up as it should have been. The flue from which the deposit had been made, end which became ignited, was in connec tion with the kitchen. He had given directions to have all the flues carefully examined. The nearest stand cock reported all right three montds ago, was four:d too stiff to work. The next one which was in good order was quickly rendered available, and the defective one in about two minutes after the discovery. These cocks, of which there were 37, communicate with a tank containing 12,C00 gallons of water. There was a constant attendance of police, whose duty it was to visit every part of the house every half hour. Means had been taken to prevent the possibility R of o an y y A s L im p il A ar T o ß cc i u o rr i e , n ic ce A in s t y ht furnsiuri.e. In reply to a question from Mr. W. FORSTER, Sir J. PAKINGTON entered into a lenghty statement, and admitted the assumptions in the question. Sceps had been taken to replace the number of ladies who had retired. He wished to state that the wives of the officers referred to were completely independent. (Laughter,) AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. In reply to a question from Mr. HEYGATE, Sir G. GREY explained the course he had adopted. The collection of these statistics would includ. an outlay of £15,000 a year, and the benefit to be secured would not, in his opinion, warrant so large an expenditure. THE GREAT EX HIBITION—POL AND. Mr. GREGORY said as the paper was very heavy on Monday, it would be very convenient if the noble lord would postpone his proposition until this day week. Lord PALMERSTON replied that he could not post the notice he had given for Monday. Mr. HENNESSY expressed hit determination to bring on his motion with respect to Poland on Monday. Mr. CRAWFORD gave notice that he should to-morrow a L n fi d o,o if o t o her to e Messrs. Lucas any ask the Chancellor o f t h e E xchequer whet h er th e o ff e r of would objection c t t h i oe nto building lay allwas the in o° r w r e ri s t l i a o n li g deuce on the table. MEETING OF THE HOUSE TO-MORROW. After a short discussion on the practice of the house, the proposed meeting of the house at 12 on Tuesday, and the count out on Monday, the motion for the meeting to-morrow at 12 to take the Salmon Fisheries Bill was left intact on the paper, though Mr. Butt, in order to create a discussion on the practice of the house, had moved that the order be di:charged, a motion which he subsequently withdrew ENDOWED CHARITIES. Mr. G. DUFF then rose to call attention to the abuses existing in many endowed charities, with especial reference to the bearing upon the amount of the Note for elementary education.
