ONEY MARKET AND 0011:4ERCUL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocrc. The transactions in the general discount market, this morning, have failed to produce any new fea ture. The general charge for first class bills still continues at 5i per cent., with occasional operations at 511 per cent. About 128,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for shipment to the East. The amount of specie to be conveyed by the Delta, which leaves to-day for Bombay is £624,120, of which £250,000 is in gold for Alexandria. The return published yesterday evening by the Bank of England authorities is generally regarded us Presenting some very favourable features. The bu llion has not been so largely decreased as ex pected, while the reserve of notes has been increased, and a falling off is shown in the amount of other securities.

G, Magaw, partners of the firm, have joined the board of the company. The b ank will commence business on the Ist proximo in Cannon-street. The progress of business in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Market during the last few days has been animated, particularly as regards sugar, in Which large speculative dealings have been entered into at fully previous rates. Coffee has been in moderate request, while there has been a more active inquiry for rice and cocoa. At the public sales of tea, Assam qualities have realised an advance of ld to lid per lb., while China descrip tions remain without change. Fruit, at public sale " - viz., currants, raisins, and figs—have been at rather lower rates, while in the tallow market co nsiderable depression has prevailed, quotations for both present and forward delivery showing a do wnward tendency. The shareholders of the lonian Bank held an ex traordinary general meeting to day foc the pur pose of electing two directors. Mr. 011iver Ferrer "copied the chair, and in proposing that the names o f Mr. Alexander Pandia Petrocochiao and Mr. Richard Ferrer be added to the list of directors, to okthe opportunity of stating that the question for extending the business of the bank !n the neighbouring country of Greece had .oeen deliberated upon, but no final reso lution had, however, as yet been made. Before determining upon that subject the directors would s eek the advice and approbation of their pro- Prlctary. O ne o f th e ge ntlemen proposed as a director was largely connected with the commerce both of this country and Greece, and it was believed that he would be able to afford the executive great The in arriving at a s a ti s f a ct o ry conclusion. rhe business of the bank within the past year or se had considerably increased, and it was found neces sary to strengthen the board in order to secure an adequate attendance of gentlemen efficiently to conduct its affairs. At a general meeting of the shareholders of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada, the Bight Hon. E. P. Bouverie, MY., in the chair, the dividend as proposed by the directors, namely, at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, less income tax, was declared payable, and the report unanimously adopted. It was stated that the net profits for the Pan six months amounted to £14,804, that the business of the company continued prosperous, and the wealth of the Canadian provinces showed in disputable signs of increase.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. -0-- COURT OF EXCHEQITER.. (Before Mr. Baron Braukw•ell.) \\ ILK V, FE.I4 an action for libel brought by lk I , laintiti, the isNprieter of the refreshment rooms at the Tetah.auttgh Railway station, against the Telegraph newspaper. . Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Keane were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. F. H. Lewis for the de fendant. Mr. Hawkins said the plaintiff claimed compensation and damages for the injury he had sustained in consequence of some comments of an unfair nature which had appeared in defendant's newspaper. A special reporter from the paper in question accompanied the Prince of Wales on his journey to the north, and the train stopping at Peterborough station to take refreshment. On the pub lication of the report of the journey the following day the special reporter said he trusted his royal highness had not tasted the detestable pure sold at the Peterborough station, and which was composed of a mixture of horsebeans, with other such like delicacies. The plaintiff feeling naturally indignant at such a reflection on the refreshments supplied, wrote to the defendant complaining of the report, and asking for an apology, when the following day an announcement appeared in the Teleyrorph, stating that they had been requested to state by Mr. Wilkins, that the soup sold at the Peterborough station was not made of horse beans. Finding all attempts to obtain an apology vain, the present action was brought. (The copies of the paper con taining the objectionable stricture and the announcement mentioned, were put in and read.) Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, for the defendant, argued that although a misrepresentation respecting the ingredients of the plaintiff's soup had been made by the gentleman en gaged to supply an account of the journey of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to the north to one of the newspapers, yet it was not of that damaging character alleged by the plaintiff. The public, he contended, were under a debt of gratitude to the press for the manner in which a reform had been brought about in the hotel system. Before the subject was put in its true light before the public bills of inordinate length were the invariable result of any person staying the shortest space of time at an English hotel. But, thanks to the press, hotel bills had been shortened, accommodation bad improved; in fact, a com plete revolution had been the result of the comments made upon the objectionable system, and now an altered state of things was in existence. It appeared to him that the most had been made of a very rediculous mistake, and it also seemed to him that some allowance ought to be made for the disappointment that usually attends the first visit , of a traveller to a railway refreshment room. He would not detain them by describing the contents usually to be found in those places—the antiquated and mathematically cut sandwiches—(laughter)—the suspicious bits of indestructible pork pie (laughter)— which might, it was true, fill up a vacuum, but which certainly would obstinately resist digestion—(laughter) —he would rather ask the jury their opinion of the soup usually sold to cold and hungry travellers. He had never been to Peter borough, so his remarks did not apply to that particular place ; but, speaking generally, he was sure that the man who had once taken soup at a railway station would be greatly indisposed to undergo the miseries of a second basin. (Laughter.) Supposing a soup was made of horse beans, he did not think it was the first article that was manufactured, and of necessity, bad, because it was made from somewhat coarse ingredients. To his mind it, appeared that the flavouring was the principal thing-- (laughter) and although the plaintiff had called his cook that important personage had not been asked of what the identical soup prepared for royal travellers was composed. (Laughter.) The whole matter he thought was perfectly ridiculous, and he felt certain the jury would form a cor rect estimate of the damage the plaintiff had sustained for the publication of the observations. Baron Bramwell summed up the evidence. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff with £25 of damages. DIVORCE COURT. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde.) BAILEY V. BAILEY. Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Mr. Pritchard for the petitioner. This was an undefended suit by Clara Bailey for a dis6o lution of marriage with her husband, Loyd George Feachey Bailey, on the ground of cruelty and adultery, and also for the custody of the children. The parties were married at Hunstone, in Sussex, on March 10, 1852, and there were three children issueof the marriage, two of whom are living. After the marriage they resided at Brighton for four months, and then emigrated to Aus tralia, where they lived for several years. The ill-treat ment was alleged to have taken place as early as June, 1855, and amongst the different acts detailed was striking or kicking the petitioner violently a week before her con finement with her first child. The object for which the respondent, who was originally a wine merchant, went to Australia having failed, the parties returned to England at the end of the year 1862. The respondent opened a confectioner's shop at 1, Duke street, Brighton, and in the beginning of 1863 he resumed his violence. On one occasion he followed her to her bed room and struck her a violent blow on the back of the neck which knocked her down and rendered her insensible. She was laid up for a considerable time afterwards from the blow in question. On another occasion he tore her mantle to pieces, and while she was washing a bottle in the kitchen he came in and knocked it out of her hand, and flung the piece at her. In the February following, while they were at tea in the parlour, without any provocation, he took the bottles and flung them at her one by one. He was addicted to intemperance, and had threatened to shoot her with a gun. The petitioner left her husband on the 23d March last, and had not since returned to cohabitation with him. The adultery was proved to hare taken place with different females at Brighton ; and on one occasion, during the absence of his wife, the re spondent brought home a woman named Lee, who re mained in the house for an hour. The petitioner and other witnesses were examined, whose evidence fully proved the case. The learned judge made the decree nisi, with costs, and directed the petitioner to have the custody of the children until further orders. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice Cock- burn and a special jury.) 5731111 V. FRAZER AND ANOTHER. The cress -examination of the plaintiff in this case (the particulars of which will be found in another column of The Sun), was proceeded with this morning. At its con clusion some friends of the lady were examined, who stated that they had never known her to be guilty of anything that could be considered the act of an insane person. The case for the plaintiff was proceeding when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A PEST.—Dan Mahomed, a man of colour, who is well known to West-end tradesmen as a beggar, and about the greatest pest in that line in the metropolis, was charged before Mr. Yardley with wilfully demolishing two panes of glass in the window of Mr. Feodor Leihtwitz, tobacconist, of No. 3, Old Compton-street. Mr. Leihtwitz was standing at his door yesterday after noon when the prisoner passed, and after going a short distance rushed back. Mr. Leihtwitz, fearing the prisoner was about to attack hint closed the door, and the prisoner finding he could not get into the shop broke two panes of glass. Mr. Yardley asked how many times the prisoner had been in custody ? Barnes, the gaoler, said at least twenty times—for ruf fianly and unprovoked assaults, stealing meat. publicans' measures, begging, in fact, for nearly every offence, and he spent the best part of his time in prison. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for two months' with hard labour for the wilful damage.

James _Hannan was in the chair. Mr. SPENCE, on rising, was received with loud cheers. He said he appeared in answer to a requisition signed by 200 of the citizens of Glasgow, inviting him to address them on the subj ec t o f S out h ern independence. It a ff o rded him the utmost pleasure in responding to the request. Glasgow had a right t o spea k on such a su bj ect, an d any opinion might express on a matter on w hi ch it h a d mea ns ofinfor mation, not common to the whole country, would carry weight in every other part of the kingdom. Before enter ing on the subject, he proceeded to clear the way by re moving two misconceptions which existed in some minds, He had no hostility to th e G overnment of th i s country , an d while he denounced this cruel and unjust war, whilst he claimed for the Southerners that right of self-government which we accord to every other powerful community, he was no advocate or defender of slavery. He deplored it for its own sake, and for the sake of the Southern people. He entertained the opinion held by many of the greatest men the South had produced—viz., Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Clay—all of whom regarded slavery as an evil to their country; and advocating the independence of the South, amongst other bandits which he believed it would confer, he held it to be the only issue of this war that pro. mised a hope to the termination of the evil. He then showed, from the early history of the Union, that its pre sent constitution not only originated in rebellion, but was the fruit of a secession. He stated that the principle of the present constitution was that each State was a sovereign community, governing itself except in regard to those mat ters which, in common with the rest, it committed to the general government of the country. There was not a word in the constitution to forbid any of the States retiring from it as they had done from its predecessor. Hence the coer cion now attempted by the North had not only no warrant in the constitution, but was the wrongful exercise of a power which was deliberately excluded from it. He affirmed not only that secession was a just right of every State, but that the ingenuity of matt could not combine those sovereign States into a Federal Republic without the right of seces sion. He did not advocate this principle of secession, he was no believer in republics in any form, but right was right and if the American people thought proper to adopt certain principles or forms of government, it was their duty now to' accept the consequences. The Southern States had not only a right of secession inherent in the Federal compacts, but they had the same right from a still higher source, the de.• claration of independence, the fountain head of American political principles. He then quoted Abraham Lincoln's justification of Western Virginia receding from the rest of that state, and asserted that any one who sought would find an authority for the very grossest form either of rebellion or secession in Mr. Lincoln. Thus the Southern States had right upon their side ; they simply do what the Northern slaveowners did before them, and have taught them to ad mire ever since. But it might be asked whether, admitting the right, there was sufficient ground to exercise it. H e then recited the causes which had led to secession, laying stress on the fact that the people of the North and South are distinct from and antagonistic to each other. The North preached religious liberty, and practised it by persecuting and slaying all who differed from themselves. In like man ner they were the first to threaten secession; they were the first who took measures to secede; but now that others fol low their example, and they lose by it, they deem it the deadliest of sins. This was not an attempt to cut one na • tion into two, but to compel two nations to be one. The fact that the Southerners are another people, and the na tural desire which it created to have an existence and government of their own, that was the cause of this convul sion ; but there was another, in the conviction which had long pervaded the South that the Union was worked to the profit of the North and their own loss. Some might be surprised that he did not mention slavery as one of the causes of secession. The very smallest reflection ought to show any one who took the trouble to reflect that slavery, so far from being a cause, was the strongest of all possible reasons against secession. He then went on to show that in all the other cases of war or threatened war in America slavery had no part, and asserted that if slavery was the first object of Southern thought, they would have clung to the Union with the most desperate tenacity, but some might ask, Was not slavery declared to be the corner-stone of the Southern Confederacy ? That was a popular and parrot cry of the Northern advocates. It was true that a Southern orator said that the difference of race and the inferiority of one race to another was the corner-stone of the system ; but did they ever before hear of such a thing as taking a metaphorical expression of an orator and fixing it on 8,000,000 of people ? Leaving metaphor for fact, every man knew where to find the corner-stone of any confederacy. There was but one thing to which that epithet would apply, and that was its constitution. Now, in the constitution of the Southern States there was not a single principle in support of slavery which was not in the old one. Strange to say the only new principle was opposed to slavery, and that was the absolute prohibition of the slave trade. There was not one word in it to prevent any State freeing its slaves, and remaining a member of the Confederacy as before. What did they think of the capacity of those who took up the sound of a phrase, and had not the penetration to discern the sense of it, and the limits of its application ? There was another question, Was it true that this war was carried on by the North in order to free the slaves ? Now, it was true there was a small band in the North of fanatical men who had made this sub ject a passion, and who, to gratify that selfish passion, were not only hounding on this bloodshed, but were ready to exterminate men of their own race, and to level every re straint of law and humanity in order to carry out their ends. But these men were a mere handful of the 21 millions in the North. The infinite majority regarded the negro with aversion, and maintained the war, some for the sake of Southern trade, some because they feared that separation now would lead to other divisions in the future, but by far the greatest number because, under the pernicious moral effects of the Union, boastful ambition had become the leading characteristic of the Federal mind ; and as their idea of greatness was the gross idea of greatness in size, they shrink from this reduction of dominion. Could there be any possible doubt on that point ? Mr. Lincoln never wielded despotic power over what were called the Free States. If his objects were to free the slaves, would he not proceed with those who were within his reach ? He had all the slaves in Delaware,Maryland, Missouri, Kentucky, ab solutely in his power. Why did he not free them ? They were told the constitution stood in the way ; that was a miserable excuse. The constitution might be laughed at when Lincoln wanted to imprison men, but it must be re spected when ho wished to free them. Bat though he would not free those within his reach he was quite ready to free all who were beyond it. Those were the principles, this the style of virtue they were to sympathise with and admire. He characterised Lincoln's celebrated emancipation procla mation as a complete farce, and then asked the meeting to consider the subject of slavery, not as ranting declaimers but as thoughtful men, It was a great, terrible fact 4,000,000 of negroes—and the people of this country took these negroes from Africa to slavery in America. How was this evil to be removed ? Certainly not in the philanthropic manner proposed by the North of setting at liberty men who were powerless to make their way in the world; but in his judgment, the first step to terminate this evil was the independence of the South. Ihe problem, how to effect a change in the condition of so vast a multitude without anarchy or industrial paralysis, was min a th o e f lar t g h e e standmost difficult ever presented statesman. When he reflected on the wond ers the people of the South great armies, t o theh how they had created menu had accomplished, when he con s id ered how they had raised and equipped or that re that self-devotion they had displayed, what calmness in the senate, what heroism in the field, he was convinced they were equal to this further task. What ended slavery amongst ourselves ? Had the people of France invaded us to force emancipation upon us, should we have assented ? Nay, they knew better. In that case we nisuc cess s hould probably have been slaveowners to this d ay . I t was first the result consequences ofN eorthe of the other ended under a calm conviction of duty. Carry that convic tion to the Southern mind, and they would gather the same fruit. He thought, in considering the qu es ti on of inde pendence, ea e . they He held must also that the weigh would be a war with this cou ntr y , which would be mos t disastrous to ourselves. The in de pendence of the S ou th ia appeared to him to be essential to the w ell - being of the wh o l e American people, and the pr olon g ed continuance of th e w ate ar il w lu a s ul tr db d at be fraught with great evil, both of which poi n t s he some length, and vivi ▪ dly portrayed th e terrible effect of its prolongation on the American s o f b ot h sections, and asking what could be done to end that mass of evil. They could at least make the attempt t o d o some thing. Neutrality did not necessitate . inaction. H e d i d not urge recognition, but whathe did urge was th a t Govern ment should enter into relations w ith the other Po wers o f Western Europe, and in their united wi▪ sdom d ec i de as to the mea sures t o b e t a k en . Our inaction was, indeed, con venient at the moment, and saved responsibility and excused irresolution. This country did not attain its place_among nations by a policy of inaction. It was not by doing nothing that we were ourselves what we are, and our emi nence would hardly be maintained if we were always to leave it to another Power to regulate the destinies of the world. It was the duty of this country not to follow, but to lead. It was our duty as men to hold out a hand when the voice of outraged humanity implored it. It was our duty as politicians to consider the balance of power in the New World as well as the Old. It was our duty as citizens to give some regard to the interests o f t h is country, and the danger threatening it in future. It was a d uty we owed to our traditions to respect the desire for self-government expressed by a powerful people, and it w as a duty which this country, the parent of Amer ica, owed to its descend ants to make an effort to assuage the tempest by which they were tern, and restore to them the bl essings of peace on the only basis on which it could ever endure, and that was the independence of the South. He concluded amid loud applause. The lecture having been very well received, and a few questions having been put and answered, the vast assem blage broke up.

THIEVES DISTURBED,—Three lads named James Lowe alias Law, Thomas Perkins, and Henry Upson, were brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with being in a stable in North-street, Limehouse, for the purpose of com mitting a felony. James Briden, a police sergeant, No. 4 K, stated that at two o'clock this morning he found the prisoners in a stable in North-street, Limehouse. They had obtained admission to the stable by removing some of the tiles on the roof, and displacing a board. All the prisoners had homes to go to, and had no business in the stable which contained two horses, harness, sacks, corn, and pro perty. He knew all the prisoners. They were notorious thieves. The youngest, Upson, who was only 11 years of age, had recently come cut of prison. after an imprison. ment of 21 days for stealing a till in a shop. Perkins had been imprisoned three months in Canterbury Gaol for a robbery, and was recently discharged, after a week's remand, from the Woolwich Police -court. Lowe had been sum• manly convicted for stealing a till, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment. He believed the intention of the prisoners, after remaining in the stable a part of the night, was to go out and plunder anything they could lay their hands on. They belpnged to .a gang of juvenile thieves who were the terror of small shopkeepers in Limehouse. The little fellow Upson was in the practice of going round counters and stealing money out of tills, and was the most dangerous thief of the three. Love, who is 18 years of age, on being called on for his defence, said I went to the play last night, and it was not over . ts until one be os because s c I o t c h k e , y andwo would i , n w o o t like na teo forg o beinghome out tomy parenso late and p didn'terki like os,who t i o o sl e 6 h y o e m ar e. s of age, said I went to th e play Upson—l say nothing. Mr. Woolrych sentenced Love and Perkins to 21 days' imprisonment each, and ordered that Upson should be de tained in the Feltham School of Industry for fhree years, The father of the boy Upson would be compelled to contri bute to his support.

FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER, TENTH DAY. ALDERSH OT, Friday Morning. This morning the court reassembled at 10 minutes after 10 O'clock, Colonel Lodder being still absent from indis position. Gavin. Ainslie Turnbull, surgeon of the Gth (Inniskil• ling) Dragoons was recalled for cross-examination. He said, in reply to Colonel Crawley, that his after report modified to a certain extent the opinion he expressed in the detailed case, but to what extent he could not previously state, to the other causes remained h i s s u o b p s n a n i o t n i i y w it t h h e regard . On the information supplied to him by Colonel Crawley and Assistant Surgeon Barnet that a quantity of brandy e hmaigdhbtehensvcoe consumed hd e that , was led to th e b e li ef that the prisoner was calculated to increase thcieuantity of spirit, and that it Pof his redisposition to an apoplec tic seizure, but to wh at extent, own nu personal indication iknow ledge,n he was unable t o s t ate, as there s seee the post mortem appearances wlaichuve?nuld lead him to sup pose h th as at he th e e ve m r nanutihesadd sdnieydinfdroicmationi of drink a b out the prisoner during his lifetime. Colonel Crawley—ln your opinion is it part of the duty of a regimental surgeon to ascertain, whether a soldi er plethoric habit of body under close arrest i n I ndia, does not consume a considerable quantity of brandy daily ? Witness—lf he has any reason to suppose that the pri soner is addicted to the use of ardent spirits, I think it is the duty of the medical officer who attends upon him to find out whether he does consume a considerable amount of spirits daily, or not. In continuation, witness said he never visited Sergeant Major Lilley for the purpose of prescribing for him. H e saw him frequently during the period of his arrest. It was the duty of Assistant .Surgeon Barnet to see the prisoner daily. He could not state how often he visited the Ser geant Major, nor did he visit him for the purpose of minutely enquiring into the state of his health. He never made a medical inspection of Sergeant Major Lilley during his arrest. The sergeant previous to being confined was not sent to the hospital for medical examination. He was not aware what the nature of his imprisonment was going to be when he was first placed in confinement, nor did ho anticipate it was to be so long. The sergeant majar did not suffer from any specific complaint during his arrest until he died. He did not anticipate Sergeant Major Lilley's death as a consequence of the arrest under which he was placed. He did not recommend before the 30th of April that Sergeant Major Lilley should have exercise, because he did not know the nature of the confinement which he was undergoing. The circumstances connected with his arrest were of so unusual, and, as he considered at the time, of so mysterious a nature, that he did not know exactly how to act in the matter. It was unusual and mysterious so far that he understood the prisoners were not examined in the orderly-room of the regiment, nor were they examined before the adjutant or any field officer of the regiment. Between the 26th and the 30th of April, to the best of my recollection, he believed he did inquire what was the nature of Sergt. Major Lilley's arrest, and, so far as he remembered, he did not find out the exact nature of his offence. He understood that the three sergeant majors were under close arrest, and that it was Colonel Crawley's wish that they should be so. He never anticipated that Sergeant Major Lilley's imprisonment would have been prolonged, and that was the reason why he did not make earlier application on his behalf for exercise. A detailed medical history of Sergeant Major Lilley's ease was, he believed, sent to Colonel Crawley on the Bth of June, or it ma) have been the 7th. It was on one of those days that the report was sent on. After the report was sent in Colonel Crawley asked him in reference to the quantities of spirituous liquors Sergeant Major Lilley was supposed to have drunk, and inquired of him whether he wished to make any alteration in his report. At the inter view which he had with Colonel Crawley he said he did not consider that any additional report from him was necessary, as he was convinced that the man had died from heat apoplexy, and that he had no proof that excess in spirits was the cause of death. Assistant Surgeon Barnet was Sergeant Major Lilley's medical attendant, and it was he who gave witness the information relative to the con sumption of spirits by the sergeant major, which induced him to modify his report. He never heard that Lilley drank large quantities of brandy from any one but Assistant Surgeon Barnet and Colonel Crawley. If he had ever made such a statement he did not mean to convey that meaning. Colonel Crawley—Have you said that in none o, your medical reports was there anything that could be con• strued to attach any blame to me? Witness—There is a letter 1 addressed to Sir Hugh Rose in October which conveys that meaning I think. The witness was next examined in detail with regard to his medical reports, and to certain portions of them which had been expunged, but he did not know by whom that had been done. Captain the Hon. Edward Bourke, of the Gth Dramoens, was called, and a letter being shown to him, he was asked whether ho wrote it, and whether he had any objection to its being read to the court. Ile said he did write the letter, and had no objection to its being read. The letter, which was read, stated that the writer had known Sergeant Major Lilley as a sober, worthy non-commissioned officer, for whom he had the greatest respect. He had known him from the period of his joining the regiment, in the beginning of 1858, till he left the regiment in India, in March, 1862. Surgeon Turnbull was re-called, and his cross-examina tion was continued. Ho had stated in one of his reports that Sergeant Major Wakefield was admitted into hospital. A man might be said to be admitted, and yet not detained in hospital. He remembered seeing the letter produced (the letter was read). It was from the Commander in Chief, and it was remarked that Sergeant Major Wake field was admitted to hospital on the 25th of May, 1562, labouring under feverish and nervous excite ment. Other entries were shown to the witness on this subject, but he could not verify them without reference to his private notes. On the 28th of June he for warded to Colonel Crawley a letter purporting to contain an abstract of Mr. Wakefield's case. (The letter stated that Sergeant Major Wakefield was ordered into hospital on the 25th of May, the day on which Sergeant Major Lilley died). He recovered, and was readmitted on the 25th of June, and was discharged convalescent on the expiration of eleven days. There was an abstract of Wake field's case entered in one of the books the day after he had had a communication with Col. Crawley, to whom he mentioned the circumstance. It was 13 months after the date of the case that the particulars were entered from witness's private notes. Ho officially informed Colonel Crawley of the facts, and he had all the correspondence.

This is sad work. All these prisoners on both sides were unfit to be moved is their present condition, and many of them forfeit their lives in the procees of which our enemies impose upon us, by sending us none but the maimed and suffering, who are likely, as they hope, to be o 7 no farther service in our army, because our authorities have no alternative but to drag an equal number from their beds of pain to make the suitable return. It is a wanton and barbarous aggravation of the inevitable horrors of war. We understand very well the policy of the enemy in making so many difficulties about the exchange of prisoners, and in breaking the arrangement of the cartel, save as regards the sick and wounded prisoners. They feel themselves strong in the numbers of their people, such as they are, and in their ability to bring over horde s of hungry Europeans to replace those who may f a ll or be taken; and they hope by degrees, i f they have g lu o c i k te , to w m ill a i k og e armies de ld dl k i e n ep nu t m he b i e r rs m , being quite havepr iso n f a t r i l m l t o h r e e en d than o a w f eetohme smaller p w e n a la r lae , tri k on n ou o im w o b i ke n re g eop t f h i on a ug t r sf t .r h o e r y t the field an equal or even f a from this policy, but it is not the i t sh that t c point o m i a p t l i m of e n view t e o w t he we Confederate vl leas s o s l e d ao i m e b r ea ; r comfort a n mr d of ou in tv r b a r hk u ie t co a one. h l ihnistth oir We a y war—farm abelievek makes more are mention—andoerre t ha too n many i oae prisoners rnhyap s othersom e of - e t hh all ng l a it to our men prisoners.

We would assure those Yankee soldiers that death on the field were far ,better than captivity here this winter, and would accordingly counsel them also not to be taken alive.—Richmond Enquirer. MARKETS—This Day MARK-LANE. A moderate supply of home grown wheat was on sale here to-day, and the trade ruled firm bath for red and white qualities. Selected parcels were held at is per qr. more money than on Monday last, and inferior produce commanded extreme rates. There was a fair averge show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands. Holders of all descriptions were very firm in their demands, and an advance of is per quarter was in several instances realised. Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, and quotations had an improved tendency. The supply of barley was tolerably large. Good and fine malting qualities moved off steadily, at full prices. Other wise the barley trade was dull, at the late decline in prices. Malt was in fair average request, at fall quotations. The supply of oats on sale was small. Both for English and foreign qualities the trade ruled firm, at an advance of 6d per quarter from Monday last. Beans and peas met a steady sale, and Monday's currency was supported. The flour trade was firm, and quotations had an upward tendency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat Barley. Malt. Oats. Flout.
