CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general money market this morning the inquiry has been of a moderate character, and as discounters appear to possess large resources for which there is no immediate call, they are evincirg an anxiety to employ their capital in the current business at and, in some cases, per cent. under the official minimum. The general charge, how ever, for first-class short-dated bills is .51 per cent. A call has been made by the Naw Zealand Bank log Corporation of £5 per share, payable on the 16 th proximo at Messrs. Hankey's bank. The amount of gold withdrawn yesterday from the Bank of England was £90,000 in sovereigns, for shipment to Alexandria.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice Cock- burn and a special jury.) THE QUEEN ♦. V HITHURST. This case, which created considerable interest some time ago, it will be recollected, was an indictment preferred by a gentleman named Rogers, a cornet in the Dragoons, against Mr. Whithurst, a solicitor at the West end, charging him with writing and sending a letter of an extremely disgusting nature, and making an appointment to meet him at the archway in the Green Park, when, the prosecutor having communicated with the police, the result was the present proceedings. An indictment was preferred against him at the Central Criminal Court, but it was re moved by certiorari into this court, and at the sitting after last term the special jury summoned were in attendance for eight days, but the case was not mentioned until the ter mination of the sitting, and it was made a remanet until after this term. The defendant appeared in pursuance of his rccog nisances. Mr. Sergeant Shee, with Mr. Sergeant Eallantine, Mr. Pope Hennessy, and Mr. F. H. Lewis, instructed by Lewis and Lewis, of Ely•place, appeared for the defendant. On the jut) , having been sworn, No prosecutor appearing or counsel for him, The Lord Chief Justice asked where the prosecutor was, and whether he was not represented by counsel f Mr. Sergeant Shee said that neither himself nor his learned friend had heard that any one appeared. The Lord Chief Justice—Was any one bound over to prosecute ? if so, the recognisances must be estreatcd. Mr. Sergeant Shee replied that no one was bound over to prosecute. The Lord Chief Justice then informed the jury that there was no case to be proceeded with, and the defendant must be acquitted. The foreman of the jury complained that they had been in attendance for eight days, at the last sitting uselessly. The Lord Chief Justice asked whose the jury was ? Mr. Sergeant Shea said the defendant's, and they would be paid accordingly. The defendant then left the court with the party of friends by whom he was surrounded. DIVORCE COURT. (Before the Judge Ordinary,) BENNETT V. BENNETT. This was a suit instituted by the wife, formerly a Miss Fletcher, the daughter of a lady of fortune, formerly resid ing at Upton Park, Slough, against Mr. Robert Barker Bennett, a gentleman of independent means, for dissolutisz of marriage, by reason of his adultery and desertion. There was no appearance, or denial of either the adultery or desertion. Dr. Spirks said the present was a case of a very cruel description. The marriage took place in 1856, and the parties afterwards went to Leamington, St. Leonard's, and Brighton, and on their return to town he took his wife to lodgings in Conduit-street, although his residence was at Bloomfiald Lodge, Notting-hill, Bayswater. They resided together until the end of 1857, and then the last she saw of him was in February, 1858, except over in Paris, in 1860. He should be able to prove the respondent had all along been residing with another female, by whom he had two children. The marriage having been proved, Mrs. Marian Fletcher, the mother of the petitioner, said —I knew the respondent in the spring of the year before his marriage with my daughter. He was a gentleman of independent means, and resided at Bloomfield Lodge, Not ting-hill. I and my daughter had visited there before the marriage. After the wedding my daughter and her hus band commenced a tour. They went to Cheltenham, Leamington, St. Leonard's, and Brighton, from thence they returned to town, and 'went to reside at Mr. Payne's, in Conduit-street. They were absent I should think about a month. I received a letter from Brighton to meet my daughtei and Mr. Barker Bennett at Bloomfield Lodge with luggage.. I went there, but was refused admittance by the housekeeper, Mrs. North, and the luggage, was turned from the door. I then went to the hotel and met my daughter. Mr. Bennett and my daughter went to reside at Bloomfield Lodge, and remained there until September, when they went to reside in St George's square, Pimlico, and resided there until the autumn in the following year, 1857, when Mr, Bennett sold off the furni ture, left the place, and went to Liverpool on a visit to his friends at Manchester and Liverpool. At the Christmas of that year I invited Mr. Bennett and my daughter to spend the holidays with me at Upton Park. My daughter came, but Mr, Bennett did not come until February, and then he made the excuse that he could not leave his son, we believing at that time that it was a child by a former wife. Mr. Ben nett's manner was strange and rambling, and made no allu sion as to his wife's future residence, in fact we could get no satisfactory answer from him ; and, after being there about half an hour, he left, merely bowing. He did not shake hands with me or my daughter, and we did not see him again until I went, in 1860, with my daughter, from something we had heard, to Paris, ;and there saw Mr. Bennett and his son at a boarding-house. We spoke to him, but he a - sily replied, "You are on the wrong scent in expecting to the woman I was living with in London in September, 1862." I and my daughterimet him at the Spa at Scrlboraugh. My daughter did' not speak to him, but he spoke to me, and said ae had no shake to disguise the manner he was living. In July last lir. Bennett came to my house in Welbeck-street, and behaved in a very low and vulgar manner, and said if he did flak have money to spend, and that if I did not give him £soo'he would have my life. His conduct was very violent and his language coarse. I ordered him to leave the house, and I did not see him again until I saw him at the police court, where he was bound over by Mr. Arnold to keep the peace. By the Judge—When Mr. Bennett came to my house in February, 1858, he gave no reason whatever for his con duct, or what he was going to do for his wife. Mr. Alfred Collinson, surgeon, of Notting-hill, proved attending a lady in her confinement in 1860, at 310, Mary lebene-road ; a Mrs. North appeared to be the housekeeper. He saw a gentleman, whom he supposed was the father ; when he called on bum he gave the name of Bennett, the lady's name he understood was Berkeley. The petitioner was not the lady he attended. Several witnesses were called to prove the respondent had been living with another lady at Hampton-wick, and other places. Mrs. Bennett, the petitioner, was called to prove the plea of desertion. She said—l first became acquainted with the respondent in 1856, in which year I was married to him. We went to Cheltenham for a week after the ceremony, and from there to St. Leonard's. When we came to London we went to Bloomfield Lodge, and stayed there about a month. I found no one in the house but a gardener, and I then went to live in St. George's-square, and from thence I went to my mother's house at Slough for the Christmas holidays. 1 travelled alone. By the Judge—The only excuse he gave for not awning to Upton Park at Christmas was that he was engaged at home with his son, and that he would not have me at home with the boy. He only remained an hour, and when I askedhim where he was going, he said to London, and that I must remain with my mother. He gave me no address, and the only letter I ever had was one enclosing a i 5 note for the payment of a small bill. At the time I married him I believed Mr. Bennett to be a widower. The reason I did not reside with him in London was because he always refused to allow me to come where his Loy was. I then became fearful that his first wife might be alive. He wrote a nu m b er of letters abort the talc her of his son, but they invariably contradicted each other. I recollect the address of one of the le;ters was Marylebone-i oad. He told me in one of the communi eations that he positively would not have me under the same roof as his child. He absented himself until February in the following year, when he came down to Slough, and after stopping about half an hour, he left with out taking the slightest notice about ,my returning home Inev s e c r ar s b a o w rau m a y h h . usband again until I saw him in Paris and The court granted a decree nisi with costs. COL RT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) BE W. L. T. TOLLEMACHE. This was a meeting for choice of , a new assignee under the estate of this bankrupt, generally known as Lord Huntingtower. The bankruptcy took place as fat back as 1846. The new choice became necessary in consequence of the death of the assignee originally appointed. Lord Hunt ingtower was present, and appeared to take great interest in the proceedings. Mr. Cunningham said that the meeting had become ne• cessary in consequence of the death of the:former assignee, and he also stated that there was a prospect of a dividend shortly. liisllonour--" Shortly!"

This was an action to recover a small amount for goods supplied, plaintiff being a fruiterer of Gracechurch-street, and defendant a schoolmaster of Kelvedon. Mr. Gamtnan, for the plaintiff, said he believed that the only item in dispUte was that relating to certain straw berries 'and cream for which plaintiff charged 15s. Defen dant said it was a gift, but that would be denied. Plaintiff was called, and said that in July last defendant and Mrs. Willes had strawberries and cream to the extent of 15s. lo wards the close of last year plaintiff sent him to order some oranges and nuts. Cross-examined by Mr. Butler Rigby, for defendant— All the other goods are booked. The strawberries and cream are not. I never had grapes for the nuts and oranges. Defendant sued me for an account for fruit supplied to me Miss Alexander, attendant in plaintiff's shop, said that plaintiff and his wife were invited to take some strawberries and cream, but it was intended to charge for them. _ . Mr. Rigby then called his client, who deposed to having personally delivered certain grapes at plaintiff's shop. Did not include them in the fruit account because it was a small affair, and he considered it settled by the oranges and nuts, As to the strawberries and cream, it arose in this wa•, —when defendant used to call to get a settlement of his account, plaintiff used to say, " All right, my dear sir, sit down and have some strawberries and cream." (Great laughter.) His Honour—lt was a very agreeable kiad of bribery. (Renewed laughter.) _ _ Mr, Itigby—A very agreeable and seasonable kind on July. (Great laughter.) His Honour was bound to believe defendant's version when he found everything booked but these items, and he should find for defendant. Mr. Rigby—Now, sir, I apply for °eats. His Honour—Oh no. You have had your strawberries and cream. (Laughter.) Verdict for defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-ST.REET. A SCENE AT A NIGHT DEN IN THE Catherine Harrison, a young woman, was charged with assaulting Thomas Howard, the keeper of a night refresh ment house at 51, Haymarket. The complainant said—l keep a refreshment house at 51, Haymarket. The prisoner has been in my service, but in consequence of her conduct I discharged her, after paying her her wages, and last night she assaulted me. Nathan Leech, 324 A, said—At half-past eight last night I was called to the house— Mr. Yardley—ls it a night house, and the resort of dis orderly prostitutes ? Leech—lt is, sir. The complainant and the prisoner were fighting, he having hold of her hands, and she having hold of his hair. The prisoner tried to strike the com plainant and to scratch him. At an earlier hour last even ing I had been called to the place to separate the com plainant and the prisoner when they were engaged fighting. There was a large mob round the door, and the same scenes have been going on nightly between the complainant and the prisoner for a fortnight past. Prisoner—l lived with him, and when I came out of pri son he came after me and took me home with him, and I lived with him for five weeks. Complainant—The other night, notwithstanding that she promised to behave herself, and I was actuated by the desire to save her, she threatened to thrash us all, and she did so to rights. I then got rid of her. I afterwards went out for a walk and then met her, and she asked me to take her back, and I did so. Mr. Yardley —What are her duties ? Complainant--To do what is required as a servant. Mr. Yardley—Are you a married man ? Complainant—No. Mr. Yardley—Now, does she not sleep with you? Complainant—Oh, no; not lately. Prisoner—l do, and after being with him he has turned me out without a farthing. _ . Mr. Yardley—You are; pair of profligates, and he gets his living by profligates. I hope the police will keep their eye on the place ; but, at all events, the public peace must not be broken. I shall therefore order the prisoner to enter into her recognisances to keep the peace and be of good be haviour. _ _ The place kept by the complainant is said to be visited mostly by the you,ag prostitutes frequenting the Hay market. IVESTMINBTER. WILFUL DAMAGE AT 'A TATERN.--MAYING A Vow. — Ellen Lee, a middle-aged woman of dissipated appearance, , was charged with wilfully breaking a pane of glass, value 305., at the house of Mr. Mainwaring, the Thrae Tuns, Broadway, Westminster. * Conspiainant said that the defendant came to his house last evening, and having made use of most indecent lan guage he ordered her to leave Vie house, but she continued her misconduct and refuse& Ile then attempted to remove her, when she dashed her fist, with a key in it, through a pane of plate glass. Mr. Arnold—Was she drunk? Complainant—After she had done the damage she pre tended to be so. Mr. Arnold—How long had she been in your house P Complainant—Not above half an hour, and I had not served her with any drink. The very moment that she misconducted herself I requested her to leave, and I should have done so before had I thought her under the influence of liquor. Defendant—Let me go, your worship. I'll pay for the glass at a shilling par week. Do let me vow. I have taken a vow not to drink any more. Dennis, the jailor—She has only been out two or three days from seven days' imprisonment for being drunk and riotous. She said she had taken a vow then. Defendant—Oh I I will keep it now, your worship, if you will let me go. Mr. Arnold—l cannot allow you to go. Publicans are to blame if they allow persons to get intoxicated in their houses, but where they conduct their business properly they are entitled to the fullest protection. _ _ Defendant was committed for 14 days to hard labour in the House of Correction. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY AND FATAL AFIFRAT At miaow. Music HALL.—Peter Melly, a professional singer, who has been for some time one of the leading men at Wilton's large music hall, Wellelose-square, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with manslaughter, in killing and slay ing Thomas Bunn, a North Sea pilot. The case excited a considerable amount of interest, and nearly the whole of the corps dramatique of the music hall, with the proprietor and manager, {were in attendance. Mr. Lewis, jun. (firm Lewis and Lewis) attended for the prisoner, who was very ill and agitated, and at the request of the solicitor he was accommodated with a seat, into which he had to be supported by the officers near him. The widow of the deceased was led into court in a fainting condition. She was sobbing loudly, and was also accom modated with a seat near the witness-box. Police-Sergeant Prior, No. 2 H, said that last night at half-past 11 o'clock a man came to the station-house in Leman-street and made a statement which induced him to send a police-constable to Wilten's Music-hall, and the prisoner was brought back in half an hour and charged with manslaughter. He cautioned the prisoner, and told him he was charged with causing the death of a man. The prisoner made no reply. _ Mr. Barnett Salomon, cigar maker, of Ne wcastlo-place, Whitechapel, was in Wilton's Music Hall last night at 15 sober, deceased, who hand present and said with sh his u t p wifeu . : n i oo and iit r was n m i n utes past 10 o'clock.

The prisoner was on the stage singin g an oner appea re d much annoye d at the inter ruption, To p b he re ,lifted up his ceased again c a ll e d out s h ut up. Th e pri soner threw his ha t at the deceased, who made some insult ing observatio ns. The prisoner t hen jumped off the stage, up, „ encore The e a so dp n r notgdi an d attacked the deceased, and hit him about the ne ck and shoulders. Much bustle and con s t ern ation ensue d among the audience, the mid s t o f w hich the prisoner got up on the stage, a g ain at tempted to make a and that t a i n t d w s a a s theicibe wa s very sorry f or w h at had occurred, first time during his professi ona l career that anything of the kind had taken place. T he prisoner made an attempt to s p eak a few more words, but was unable to do so. By Mr. Woolrych -4 was not awa r e anything serious had happened until an hour af terwards, when I hear d the man who was struck was dead. similar • Michael Harris, a traveller, gave evidence. H e saw the prisoner leave the stage and strike the deceased, who was sent home in a ca b, and died on the way th ere . Mr. Lewis, jun.—Did you hear the observations made by the deceased f was very disorderly, and c hallenged the prisoner to leave the W e t a n g e e s s— a n i and that he died almost did not, fight and it a Other evidenee was gone into, appeared deceased imme diately after he was struck. Mr. James Sequeria, surgeon, of Munsell-street, White. chapel, went to the deceased's house in St. Mark-street, Whitechapel, last night, and found him dead. There was a little puffiness about the back of the head. It was more the result of a blur tkan anything else. He cotild not state what was the cause of the death. Mr. Lewis, jun, said he ha d many witnesses to call who would prove the riotous and provoking conduct of the de ceased and his insulting observations. No one could be snore sorry for what had happened than the prisoner. Mr. Wilton also regretted very much such a thing should have happened. Mr. Wilton had been in the chair near the stage for three hours and a half, and had only just retired when this melancholy affair happened, There wore upwards of 1,200 persons in the hall. It was a benefit night. H e co uld not resist a re mand, but he hoped bail would be taken. and Dlr. Woolyrc h remanded the prisoner until Monday, said at this stage of the investi ga tion he would not t a k e bail. The deceased was 49 years of age, of a full habit of body, and up to the period of his visit to the hall last night was i n tolerably good health. L IFEBBOAT SERVICES .—ST. IVES, CORNW ALL , Nov. 24.—The lifeboat of the National Institution on this station went off a f e w days L go, during a st rong gale of wind, to the brig Benjamin Bo y d, o f Bristol, which was in distre,s, On reaching her, however, the services of the boat were not required, the brig being then iu apparent safety. Seeing a pilot gig with her crew of seven men in danger, the lifeboat rescued them from their perilous posi- tion, aid brought them and their gig safely ashore. COMFORT AT THE SEA SIDE The most intense sensation was occasioned this last season at an English watering-place by the discovery in a lodgingbouse that of 13 bedroom windows there were no fewer than three that had not their sashlines broken, and as many as one even that after much persuasion you could open at the top. Of 11 bedroom candlesticks no fewer than four were provided with extinguishers, and three bore some faint traces of having actually being cleaned within the present year. l)f course every chimney smoked when a fire was attempted ; but in two .. out of eight rooms y o s t c ould escape suffocation it you only kept a window open and the door ajar. Out of half a scor e o f l oo ki ng g l ass es there were two w which were not cracked, an d three of the remaining eight, if you only propped them properly, did not twirl round more than six times while you shaved and brushed your hair. Of a dozen doors not more than 11 had loose handles that came off at a touch, and one was so well hung upon its binges that it actually could be locked. It was also ascertained that of the leash of easy (P) chairs which had been liberally furnished, there was one that you could sit in without much inconvenience, if you didn't mind the chance of tumbling backwards once an hour or so, through a ricketty hind leg; and another which might possibly have been found a softish seat if it had not been that somebody had broken all the springs in it. One of the three carving -knives was, after a day's sharpening. made capable of cut ting, and of a dozen silver (P) forks five had some faint vestige of their pristine plate upon them, and no fewer than six had their full complement of prongs. It was discovered, too, at tea time, after many patient trials, that, if probed and poked . with frequency, the teapot spout would pour ; and provided that the teamaker was careful to retain the proper angle of inclination, she might possibly succeed in half filling a teacup without dropping the lid into it more than half a dozen times. It was likewise ascer tained that of half a score of cups three only had their handles off, and only six were leaky ; and o f 11 wine glasses as many as two even were of the same pattern, and not more than nine were chipped. By similar good housewifery every one of the two decanters were provided with a stopper, and of the four dishes for vegetables one had actually a lid. When such careful heed is paid to the comfort of our seaside visitors, who can be surprised to hear that when people want a pleasure trip they never go abroad for it.—Punch's Pocket-Book for 1864.

The proceedings were resumed this morning at a quarter past 10, all the members being present with the exception of Colonel Lodder, who is still too ill to leave his bed. Sir G. Wetherell, K.C.8., presided. Assistant Surgeon Oliver Barnett was recalled, and his examination in chief continued by Col. Sir A. Horsford as official prosecutor. The last question put last evening and answered was read as follows : Q. Is the opinion expressed by you and Dr. Turnbull as to the causes in the detailed medical report of Sergeant Major Lilley's death correct, or do you wish to qualify it in any way ? A. I consider it correct, and I do not wish to qualify it in any way. Colonel Sir A. Horsford repeated the question this morn ing, and the witness said I do wish to qualify it, inasmuch as in a subsequent report made by Dr. Turnbull, in which I concurred, that opinion was, to a certain extent, mo dified. Colonel Sir A. Horsford—Can you state to the court to what extent that opinion was modified Witness—lt was modified to a certain extent, to what extent I cannot positively state, but I believe it left the original statement substantially the same as before. The cross-examinotion was postponed. Cornet William Thomas Skinner Snell was recalled, and cross-examined by Lieutenant. Colonel Crawley, who said — Mr. President and gentlemen, before I proceed to put any questions to Cornet Snell, I wish to put into his hands a certain paper, not for the purpose of putting it in evidence, but that he may refresh his memory. I consider this to be a fair course, so that he might not be taken by sur prise. the 4th Ma y Colonel Sir A. Horsford did no t ob j ect. Colonel Crawley—When you became a cting adj utant on that you might perform the duti es of adjutant for him , y l was that at the reques t of Lieut. Fitzsimons while he was unwell ? Witness—Yes ; and the request was made through me. Further questioned, when witness continued—l am not prepared to say whether the orderly room was in the bar rack yard or in Lieut. Fitzsimons' bungalow. A request had been made some time previously that I should go into tie orderly room and see the duty of adjutant done, in order that I migh t be able to undertake the duties of the office, if the _adjutant should fall ill. I can a wear that I made that reques t myself, and it was also made I believe by Lieut.Fitzsimons. From the 4th to the Bth May I was acting for Lieutenant Fitzsimons as adjutant. I lived in the same house with Mr.Fitzsimons, but I do not r e o m i n em ogfiviadnjan. Thegutmetany instructions whilst I was g the ery his ut first morning Mr. Fitz ,db d simony did examine the papers I brought to you for signa ture, but to the best of my recollection not afterwards, j received the first orders as to the prisoners under arre st from Mr. Fitzsimons, but they were not in writing. 'When te Lilley 7t h I revisited the sentry afterwards I did not make any re mark if of h Me haday . or report to you when I found the sentries i in the same place where asked I Sergeantposted th Majorem on were not an y complaint to make, and he never made any, I cannot say my visits were confined to twice I asked a d a y. I visited him frequently. Ser geant Major Lilley frequently, to reco llection, but never received an y the best of my ac tually put in orders to act as a ydj complaints. I am not aware plaints. I was never that on the Bth of May, the day I Mr. Fitzsimons was reportedceased to act as adjutant, On looking at the order book, sick.L (Order book produced.) cidedly—(a laugh)—the I am a ware of it most de. but I am not aware order is there, and it is so stated, of it more than I was before, except from what I see i n the book. I remember going with Ser geant Major Co t t on to visit the sentries but not to post them. I do not e r member going with Sergeant Major Cotton to alter the position of the sentries. Sergeant Major Bernard recalledand cress-examined by Colonel Cra 1 w ey—Lieut.Fitzsimona acted as j;t In adjutant at the time of the conversat i on d e t a il e d in m I occupied qu ar t e rs next to Sergeant Majorexamination o in h Wakefieldcief. when he was under arrest and once put notes and papers through a hole in the wall for the sergeant major. The President cautioned the witness not to say anything that might criminito himself. Cross-examinatifin continued—l received some money from Sergeant Bennett for Wakefield, and gave i t t o a nativ e to give to him. I never told Bennett that 1 had made a hole in the wall, and could pass money and notes to Wake field without the sentries seeing it. 1 never asked Bennett to get money from Smales to Wakefield at the time of the arrest. Colonel Crawley said he had no question s to ask Mrs. Cotton in cross-examination. Major James Hyde Champion was recalled and cross examined by Colonel Crawley all to the contents of a letter produced and reported yesterday, but the evidence merely recapitulated the facts in the letter. A ss i s tant-Surgeon Barnett reca l l e d and examined by Colonel Crawley.---I believe that Mrs. Crawley visited Mrs. Lilley during her illness beforti the arrest of the sergeant major, but I am not quite s urd of it. I do not recollect ever meeting Mrs. Crawley at Mrs. Lilley's house. Tsa rs. Lilloy's back wa ,, i ns pected long before the arrest of h er husband. I remember you giving Sergeant Major Lim ey leave to precede the regiment to Mhow on account; of the death of one child and the illness of ;another. Ido not remember the dates of the death of the children. O ne doled while we were on the march, and the other shortly afterwards. Ido not believe you were aware that the close arrest of Sergeant Major Lilley was inflicting fatal injury to his health. I was on intimate terms with you during the time of the arrest of Lilley, and was daily and nightly in your house in consequence of illness in your family, and was in almost hourly attendance on. you wife and her mother at that time. I never, that I re remember, made any representation official or non-official to Colonel Crawley, or to any member of his family, with reference to Sergeant Major Lilley, nor with regard to Mrs Lilley, as t 3 the position of the sentries and the annoyance caused thereby. I have always found Colonel Crawley de sirous to carry out any suggestions made by me as to the condition of the regiment, but was only iu the absence of the surgeon of the regiment that I ever acted for myself. I reported all the circumstances of Sergeant Major Lilly's arrest, the illness of Mrs. Lilly, and the position of sentries before Dr. Turnbull,and it was on my recernmendation to the doctor that the three sergeant majors were allowed exercise. I believe Dr. Turnbull did not make any representation to you as to the inconvenience caused to Mrs. Lilley by the position of the sentries, but I have not any recollection that the doctor said he would not do so. From what I know of Col. Crawley, I believe that if I or any one else had represented that the close arrest of Sergeant Major Lilley was likely to prove fatal, steps would have been taken to avert that sad calamity. No one coulil have anti cipated Lilley's death. I did not know he was in his usual health the day before his death. After some further evidence, the court adjourned AMERICA. (Per the Nova Scotia.) NEW YORK, Nov. 14 (Evening). The _Richmond Enquirer comments unfavourably upon the late captures by Meade en the Rapp El h, n _ nock and the Confederate defeat in Western Vir. ginia, and says : The Federals are threatening the railroad at Weldon. They are also reported in force at New. port News. Thus the Federals are threatening active operations all round Richmond before winter has blockaded the road." The _Richmond Examiner says the Federals are moving upon York Peninsula, and are reported to be in considerable force on the Williamsburg road, 40 miles east of Richmond. The New York press strongly urge the abolition of the duty on foreign coal. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Nov. 14 (Evening). Gold, 479 per cent. prem.; exchange on London, 161 ; on Paris, 351.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2i per mills pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling" on c omparing these rates with the E ng li s h Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appe.r that gold is nearly 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 i per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.5 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mirt:price is, therefore, about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 159} to 160 per cent., and the premium on gold is 45y OJaper Dent..

TION TO MENDELt3SOIIN I.—After the performance of "Elijah" in London, Prince Albert wrote a kind of tes. timonial in the libretto he had been using, and sent it to Mendelssohn. It will be acknowledged as both curious and characteristic :—" To the noble artist who, surrounded by the Baal-service of false art, has been able, by genius and study, loyally to maintain the service of true art, like another Elias, and, after the noise of senseless note-trifling (Thaegandel), to accustom our ears to the pure music of imitative feeling and regular harmony—to the great master, in thankful remembrance, ALBERT.—Buckingham Palace." A SLIP OF THE TELEGRAM.—In M. Reuter's telegrams from Paris, published in the London morning papers of Friday, it is announced that "a curate" has been elected deputy for Bordeaux. This will be news to the Bordelaise. The name of the deputy in question is, indeed, Cure; but this is all the relation he has with the clerical profession. M. Cure was no official candidate, and was returned under the auspices of M. Pietri, the Prefect of the Gironde. A HUMANE INSTITUTION.—The New York and Boston Express Mail Line Railroad, via Hartford and Springfield, have placed upon their road a set of cars for soldiers' use only, The car contains 10 cots, suspended by rubber bands, for those having broken limbs, &c., also seat room for 30, with handsomely cushioned seats, several easy chairs, a full set cf appliances to protect fractured or broken limbs, a complete chest of medicines, bandages, lint, iFc., a splendid copper urn and apparatus for making coffee. a wash room, water closet, heaters, &c.—in fact, every thin g needed by a sick or wounded soldier is he re p laced at his disposal. A steward and nurse accomp an y each oar, whose duties are to minister to the want s of every so ldier.

It is reported also to be the intention to charge 6d. inside and 4d. outside on Sunday evenings after 8 o'clock. So strong is public feeling ags inst the change that already measures are being taken to place a number of 'buses on the road at the old fares. STEAMERS FOR THE BLOCKADE.—Last week three Clyde steamers were reported as sold for the purpose of being employed as blockade runners. These were the Caledonia, well known on the Stranraer station, lately running between Glasgow and Itothesay, which has been fitted with new boilers and feathering floats, and now sails well; the:saloon:steatner lona,the finest finished and swiftest steameronthe Clyde,built this year for Messrs. D. Hutchie son and Co's West Highland line, and which plied during the summer on the Glasgow and Ardrishaig route ; and the saloon steamer Fairy, another of Messrs. D. Hutchie son and Co.'s West Highland line, which plied from Oban, round Staffa and lona. The price obtained for the lona was £20,000. The Fairy, it will be remembered, was this season placed at the disposal of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred on his visit to Oban during the tour round the Scot tish coast in her Majesty's ship Racoon. Like the lona, she is a handsomely- fitted veasel,and on Saturday went down• the river on a trial of speed, which was to regulate the sam to be paid for her. There are, besides, two new steamers at pre sent fitting out for the same trade--.namely, the Nola, 780 tons, a sister to the City of Petersburg and Lerd Clyde, which left the Clyde lately ; and the Arrow, 200 tons, a sister to the Presto, Dare, and Will o' the Wisp, which have sailed within the last four weeks. Should the demand con tinue at this rate there will soon be scarcely a swift steamer left on the Clyde. The steamboat owners never before had such a harvest, some of their steamers having been sold for nearly double their original cost, and that after a season, 8 use.—Scotsman. 11 HISTORY OF THE VIOLIN" is the title o f s work written by Signor Regli, just published a Turin.
