MONEY MARKET AND INTELLIGENCE, el l'Y, TWELVE O'CLOCR. The Money Market continues to present at, easiei appearance. It is now almost so:ely influenced by the anticipated distribution of the half..year'a inter st on Government Stocks which operation commences next Friday. The public, in the mean while are limiting a 3 much as possible the accom modation they obtain in the hope that by the augmentation of the floating capital of bankers and others, Beater relief will prevail. The quo tations are tending downwards and the minimum rate out of doors is now 51 per cent. The biddings for 3:),00,000 rupees (L 300,000) in bills on India took place at the Bank of England, and the following are the official particulars— The proportions allotted were : To Calcutta, 16,32,00 rupees; to Bombay 12,00,000 rupees; and to Madras 1,68,000 rupees. Tne minimum price was us before is 111 a per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and is 114 ti on Bombay. The applica tions within the limits amounted to 171 lass, Ten ders on Calcutta and Madr so, at is 111 d, will receive about 31 per cent.; on Bombay, at 21, about 24 per cent.; and all above these prices in full.

A rise of a took place in the early part of the cay and prices have since been firmly maintdmed.

Turkish Consolides are up 5 at 501 1, and the Confed- rate Loan remains buoyant at 671 681.

Qa.stion—Can a bankrupt surrender after having been convicted for not having dine en. This bankrupt was described as of the Commercial-road, East, cheesemonger, and this was a meeting for last ex aminal ion and discharge, Mr Chidley appeared for the assignee, and said that they did not oppose the application. A difficulty, however, a rose, as there was a former bankruptcy soma years ego to which the bankrupt did not surrender, and he was sub sequently tried and convicLed for the offonce. The present :Jankruptcy was au adjudication by one of the registrars, and as there had been no surrender under the first bank ruptcy., an application was made to allow this bankrupt to do so, and Mr Commissioner F,,no made an order to that ffeet, but the order had been mislaid. His Hollow said that the cas:J must be adjourned for the produeion of the order, raid to consider whe:he( the Court had the pover to take a surrender after conviction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. --- O I'iIA.RLBOROUGIi STREET. AN EXTRAORDINARY AND SHOCKING STORY.—A tall flood -!oohing, and well-dressed youug woman, Lamed Catherine Scblei, was charged befi re Mr Knox with break ing two panes of glass of the value of 16-, the property of &mind Humphreys, engraver, 12, Green street, Leicesrer•E guar°. Mr Samuel Humphreys said that about four o'clock that morning his bells were rung violently, and two of his win dows broken. His daughter saw the prisoner do it. The value of the glass was 168. Mrs Jane Tomeline, daughter of Mr. Humphreys, proved seeingthe prisoner wrap a p oc k et h an dk erc hi e f roun d h er nand, apprisoner i 60 breaker t 1 then the z w entered i nd into a detailed narrative of the circumstances which drove her to the commission of the offence. but the details are of such a disgusting nature that they ~re utte,ly unfit for publication. She was ful:y cor roborated in her statement by her mother and sister. The magistrate txprecsed great sympathy and told her father, who was the cause of all her trouble, that his presence was a pollution in the court. and that he was sorry the laws of England did not give the power to expel such a disreputable wretch from the country. Great commiseration was shown her ov er to th e c a re of h er a in nd eo h u a r i, t d , and the magistrate ultimately d ria l°i O r e t oht the er g Ped i her,so l 'e MISCELLANEOUS—Continued.

(This Day.) - This morLing the venerable Cikopel Royal, in thi Precincts of the Savoy, NV tl3 entirely destroyed by fire. The confusion necessarily attendant upon such a calamity at present precludes any lengtheneo details. The fire was discovered at about five minutes to two by a quantify of smoke issuing from one of the windows near the new entrance, hut on attempting to gain an entrance to the edifice the doors were found all to be Inched, and, 8011 worse, the person in charge of the keys was no' to be found. At this time had admission been gained to the chapel 10 or 12 buckets of water might have caved the venerable building, but nothing f): some time cea'd be done but to quietly gaze on the rapit. progress of the flames. At ten minutes past two the organ was seen through the oriel windows to fall to the ground, and then a scene of terrine• grandeur presented itself. At this time, although situate in the centre of the rnetropulis, not a single engint had arrived. The chapel was now one mass of flame from end to end, and it was net until all hops of saving any portion cf it was gone that the en gines arrived. At this time the flames rushed with dreadfu , violence through the aperture, which till then hac held the large stained glass windows, and seize° hold of the back pert of the premises of Mr. Finney, tailor, Strand. The engines were got into action, but the fire had burned itself nearly out in the chapel. At about ball•past two the roof cf the sacrer building, which had burned with terrific liolence tell in, and thus partially smothered the burning timbers. Toe (ff.:et of the water on Mr Finney'e. premises was successful, and at the time we wen) to press the flames wore very greatly subdued. The whole of the communion plate, parish regis try, and over valuable articles are saved. It appears that a gas fitter was at work near tht urban this morning, and it is supposed that that unfortunate circumstance has led to the destruction of the chapel, which was one of the great antiqui ties of the metropolis. THE YELVERTON CASE, HOUSE OF LORDS. YELVERTON V. YELVERTON (OR LONGIVORTII). This morning, at 12 o'clock, this case was called on before the Elou , e of Lords. Mr Rolt,,Q C , in commencing his reply on behalf of the Hon. Major Yelverton, the appellant, said that during the atjeurnment he had been able to oundense his arguments. and hoped their lordships would hear with him through the observations he had to make, which should be strictly per tinent to the questions at issue. The learned counsel went through the ea.!) , histoty of the case with reference to the promise, which, he urged, had not been proved, and the respondent's counsel had failed to ' deduce it. The cases that had been cited were under decidenly diff ten circumstances, and not entitled to the weight that the Lord Advocate had rested upon them. With regard to the meeting in Scotland, it was absurd to suppose that the respondent was not aware of the law o Seotland, and had marriage been intended she would have taken care to preset we some strong evidence or that mar riage, according to the law there, and also in Ireland it a secret marriage had taken place there or elsewhere. There must be mutual interchange of consent in Sc ,t -land, and their lordships must have evidence of when the interchange took place, and that must bo when the copula took place, cr immediately before. (tie (Mr Molt) took it that it would be their lordships' judEtnent that the promise must take place iu Scotland, and could nor be carried into Scotland to be the foundation of evidence ot the marriage. He pre-supposed the promise must be seriously made ; but it a woman surrendered herselt with out marriage she kneW she was committing fornication, and no marriage. Lord Brougham —The copula mast be with the intent of consummating the marriage. Mr Reit put — his prop te.tion to be that there was a serious promise, and that the parties must consider it to be so. Had the promise been made and copula fol lowed, then the law considered that as the mutual interchange of consent. Noting the alleged promise and the correspondence, their lordships would not look at a single letter er a single passage, but the entire correspondence, and unless it proved that tne appel lent stood towards the respondent in the character of an accepted lover there was no proof of the promise. The learned counsel at much length proceeded to cite some caree with regard to a promise de flaw's. That was an arbitrary and positive law, which did not consider an interchange to consent as copula assured it, but upon the orpiment on the other side, even taking their statement to be true, it would seem that if a mau promise to marry a woman while they were on a voyage from India, and attel waras cohabited tot one night in Scotland, that would be a marriage according to the law dt &ottani ; and it would be most important that the judgment of the Huuse of Lords should be well and maturely considered when so large an interest was involved Referring to the marriage of habit and repute, the illicit connexion between tne parties had a considerable bearing upon the law of the case, of which he would treat presently. As to the illicit intercourse, and how tar it effaced the pro wise, he (Mr Roll) should urge without fear of contradic tion that the law made it, that a promise made during illicit intercourse was not a valid promise. The Attorney General had argued that nu intercourse lied taken place in Iteland until a. ter the scene which took place in a chapel at Roetrevor, but no one but the Attorney- General could have that opinion if they read one tittle 01 the evidence. The facts, the circumstances, the documents, everything might be construed to prove, if hey proved anything, that there was a genera promise subsequent to or during the time of the illicit intercourse; but, even looking at the letters and words, their lordships would remember that promise was one thing and intention to promise another. The learned counsel read portions of lettere supporting his views of Oar case, and cited fue ther cases on the effect of copula atter promise or la, fore as the case might be. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) SHIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON, July 7.—Wind this day at, noon—North- W.st; moderate breeze and fine weather, but a little cloudy.

A St. Petersburg letter, in the Gcncra Corns ponclanle of Vienna, says :—" The Russian Cabinet takes advantage of the dissolution of the Conference o I,ndon to address to its diplomatic agents a circular de- spatch, in which it explains the ideas by which its policy iL that assembly was guided. The unusually friendly tone o the despatch towards Germany is spoken of, and the docu ment will openly proclaim the neutrality of Russia in tht Dano•German conflict The aware of henceforth main wining that neutrality will al.o be alleged as the motive to the abandonment of the Rus_dan pretensions to successim. in a portion of Holstein, lu favour of the younger branch :IGldent urg.' THAMES. DEFACING WILLS. Simpson Lawson of Stepney-square, High-street, B tPpney, appeared for the ihirt time to answer a charge of aiding and abetting two men and a boy to deface a wall with the inscription, "Try the London Tea Company's Pure and Famous Tea." The defendant is c nnected with a tea company in the city whose agents have defaced the walls in and near the metropolis with their puffs. A few weeks since a man named Thomas, was detected while painting the above inscription on the walls of a private dwelling in Ziggeus • rett, Stepney, and taken into custody. Simpson admitted he employed Thomas and was fined 20s. and costs. Soon afterwards two men and a boy were detected in defacing an arch of t heßlack want - tail vvay in a similar wayand were taken into custody and locked up. They also stated that they were employed by Simpson. They were discharged ontheir awn recoguisaucea to appear the following week, and a ,uninions was issued against simpson. The prosecution s ins.itned by Mr George Webb, manager to Mr Thomas Smith, advertising agent, of Tavistock-street, Covent garden,ree pril s ners did not appear on upwards of £5OO who rents the arches of the Biaek watt Railway, trove fur r a i d he onsatomße.lacTkhweallt, and p their recognisunces, and warrants were issued fur their ap prehension. Simpson disclaimed all knowledge of them, and said he only employed Thomas to announce " Try the London Tea Company's Pure and F meats f ea." Mi Webb said the two men awl buy had not yet been apprehends d on the warrants. .The Magistrate said he should discharge the summons. Whatever the suspicion against Simpson might be, there was no direct evidence that he had employed the three offenders to de'aco the walls of the railway arch. Mr Simpson asked for costs, and said he had attended three limos on the summons. The Magistrate said he should give no costs, for he really believed the defendant hal employed the three persons. The warrants for their apprehension must be executed with out delay. Robert Jones, a bill sticker, was next charged with post• ii.g bills in Mr Smith's auverising station, the Blackwell Railway arch, White-horso •street, 6tepney. Mr Webb said tne defendant would plead guilty, and promise not to offend again. There was an announcement on the lot ickwork ot the arch that it was Mr Thos. Smith's advertising station, and the words " Bill-stickers beware. iNir Smith paid rent fur the aroh. The defendant said he was not aware he was doing wrong He had been in the practice of posting bills in the arch for several years. The magistrate said the defendant must not do it again, or he would be tied very heavily. On ;his occasion he should inflict a penalty ut 6s. and the ousts of the summons. WES ENIINSTER. AN UNGP.A.TErt'L FELLow.—Juhn Hayes, a cabman, was charged be:ore Mr &ire with stea.ing a quantity ot money, the property ot his employers.

The South Carolinian of May 24 records the execution of fourteen Confederates at Dalton for desertion. A correspondent who witnessed the sff,ir ays—" When I a-rived on the ground 1 faun the division of Mjor-Gen. Stever son drawn up le lines, forming three sides of a hollow square. It front were fourteen stakes with a et:fan at the foot of eacb, and in the rear of these a long line of yawn ing graves. In a few minutes acter our arrival, four waggonscontaining the unfortanal`.e men fiiedslowly through the lines and epproached the fatal spot. The. men, with one eirception, apprcnehect unmoved, and calmly loosed around es though they ware uncon scious of the fearful end they were approaching. Is r direction of General Bey nolde, they were cieawn up in line, and a number of cha, lairs upproachtd them and besought them to give th few retnainL4 momenta of their lives to pr.,yer, which was foe lowed by the reading of the twenty-third Paairri, and an eloqu•nt prayer, whica effected the pri Boners very much. General Reynolds then asket them it they had anything to say, and addressed them in an impressive manner for a few minutes. Two of them said they had no intention of de serting the service ; one s,rd he was cut off from his command at Mission Ridge, and did not know where to go, and so went home; the other said he deserted on account of his family. Several of thei regimental and company officers now came forward and bid them farewell. 'rne men, with one excep tion, were very excited, several having lost all con trol of their feelings. General Reynolds turned to them and said, 'May God have mercy on your souls, and turned hastily away. The guard stepped for ward, and taking each to a stake, tied them fast, and then bound a cloth over their eyes. ,All began to pray, and some were shouting and clapping tneir hands. The shooting detail, consisting of 120 men, were marched in trout of them, and an officer stepped aside and raised a handkerchief; then the ominoue cticking of the ;oaks was heard which thrilled through the bystaudersand caused the unfortunate men at the stakes to shudder and tremble as though a galvanic battery had been applied to each. One moment, and a hundred tubes are levelled at thair breasts. We hold our breath in suspense, and a sickly faint ing feeling takes possession cf us. White oar eyes are riveted' on the handkerchief—the fall of which is to send these men to an untimely and dis honoured grave—the officer turns from the con demned to the detail, hurries along the line, drops the handkerchief, and turns away. A ragged volley, followed by straggling shots, and two of the men are lifeless, others are screaming in their agony, and imploring and beseechieg the men to finish the work so badly done. A few struggled to a half-reclining position, suspended by the rope w'aich confined them to the stakes, and expired. A young soldier rushes up to shoot a poor wretch who is crying in agony for death and presents his gun, but, sickened with the horrid sight, turns away, then wheels, and quickly sin lug his gun, sends a ball through his breast. At last the Provost guard arrives, and despatches the few who were yet struggling. With a sad sickened heart I turned away, and even after I had mounted my horse I heord a shot fired at some poor tallow who had lingered ten or fifteen minutes." The New Dean of Lincoln, The R v. Jlmes Auliraux Jeremie, D.D., whose appointment to the anery of Lincoln ap peats in the Gazette of Tuesday, was educated at Trinity ,College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1854; having in the previous year obtained the Norristan Pre- , . an honour which he also guinea in 1825. In 1830 he was ordained by Dr. Kaye, Bishop of Lincoln, being then a fellow of Trinity College, and in the same year was appointed Pro fessor of Classical Literature in the East India College at Haley bury, a post which be occupied in connection with other appointmews during the next twenty years. In 1833 he was tlected Chris tian Advocate to the University of Cambridge. In 1848 he was appointed Sub-Deen and Canon Itesidentiary of Lincoln Cathedral, and in 1849 en the elevation of Dr. A. 0 ilivant to the Bishopric he was elected, after a severe struggle, to the It?gius Professorship of Divinity, which with the rectory of Somersham which is annexed to it, is worth about £1,500 a yeer. By the new statutes the app doiment, which will be at once declared vacant, is vested in electors, who are the Council of •the Senate. The candidates must be B.D. or D.D., and the day of election must not be sooner titan 14 days nor later than 28 days after official notice of the vacancy. The Professorship was founded by Henry VIII. in 1540, and was aug m, need by James I. with the rectory of Somersham. Dr. Jeremie is the author of the articles on the His tory of Rome from Constantine to the Death of Julian, and the History of the Church in the Second and Third Centuries, in the ErreyGlopcelia Aletropo Mania, and of many sermons and pamphlets on theological and ecclesiastical questions. He preached the Latin Sermon in St. Paul's Cathedral at the assembly of the new Convocation of the Province of Canterbury in 18:52, and at the last Exhibition he preached in French to a congregation mainly com posed of foreigners, in the nave of Weetminster Abbey. He is succeeded in the euo-deanery by the Rev. Henry Mackerzie, M.A., Rector of Tydd 8;. Mary, near Wisbeach, who vaster many years Vicar of St. Mariir , 's-in_i Westminster. A King and Queen of Denmark, -O. Sir. Lascelles Wraxali gives an extreordinary account of King Christian VII. of Denmark and ti 6 Queen Matilda (sister of George 111 of England). Here is an anecdote of the King One Sundae, during divine service, when the Queen was divert. ing herself in the riding-house in the rear of Cliristieusborg Palace, the King was standing on the balcoey over the gateway, with his black sod his white bays, and threw from thence logs of fire wood, tongs, shovels, books, papers, and entire drawers, down into the courtyard, and at last wanted to hurl his fleourite Gourmand and the negro boy over the balustrade. Among the papers thrown down was a secret list of the fleet and the condition of each ship, wnich the lackey of a foreign Minister round and carried to his master. the following June the King broke all the windows in his own and the Queu's apartments at Hirtcholtn, mashed looking-giasses, chairs, tables, and custly china vases, and threw the fregmeuts through the win dows into the yard, in which his playmates helped him with all their might. At first such amuse ments on the part of the Sovereign excited great surprise among the public, but they soon grew ac customed to them through their frequent repetition.' The Queen was scarcely les3 eccentric, though her eccentricity was iu a measure " by command." The following describes her appearances on horseback : While the Queen gained many hearts by her con descension, she aroused quite as much anger by her tree and easy manners. She appeared at this feast in mile clothing, sitting her horse like a man, which created a great scandal among the females. She did so, however, by the special request of her husband, who hated ceremony, and, according to his peculiar mania, liked his wife to display her beautiful form. It is certain that riding en honznre soon after became the prevalent fashion among the fine ladies of Copenhagen. Colonel Keith writes home—' An abominable riding habit, with a black slouched hat, has been almost univerea ly introduced here, which gives every woman the air of an awk• ward postilion. In all the time I have been in Denmark I never saw the Queen out in any other garb.' " RUMOURED RETIREMENT OF THE SPEAKER OF TILE HOUSE OF COMMONS —During the last two or three Gays a rumour has extensively prevailed at the chit s, and S" , ..MMS to be generally believed in, that the Right Hon.

The noble duke cited some precedents in support of his motion. . . Lord REDESDALE said that the course proposed to it would render the sessiortill order a nullity, and th-ae were already tweuty•six bills for the consideration of the committee, which it would be to get through at that advanced stage of the session of Par liaott nt.

On the order of the day for the resumption of the ad journed debate being read, Mr LAYARD said he never rose under a more painful sense of the responsinility that devolved upon him than he did that evening, because it would become his duty to justify the acts of one of the departments of the Government, with which ho, perhaps unworthily, was connected. He should have, in the course of his remarks to vindicate the character of a statesman who had taken his place in history, and one the olject of whose deeds has been to add a lustre to the annals of his' country. Against that noble lord in the course of this debate garbled extracts—he would not say falsified ex tracts—had been brought. (Cries of •i Oh, oh.") He hoped hon. geritlemen would wait until he had failed to prove his assertion, because there would be plenty of time then to cry "oh, oh." The right honourable gentleman the member for Buck inghamshire, in the course of his observations in bring ing forward the motion, had referred to early portions of the negotiations, but in acquitting himself of his task, it would be his duty to fill up the intervals the right hon. gentleman had passed over. The hon. gentleman then proceeded to narrate the whole of the negotiations on the Danish question, beginning as early as those of 1818, which eventually led to the treaty of 1852, which he stated WAS not one of guatentee, but was one in the interests of peace. He could not assent to the principle hid down the oth er evening by the hon, member for Rochdale, because h e flit that his principles, if carried out, would lead conclusion, to th it dis memberment of Switzerland.

In those despatches —(cries of order, order) Loid R. CECIL rose to order. He did not think it was competent ior the hon. member to read from despatches whiP,h were not before Parliament. The SPEAKER ruled that the despatches could not be read. Mr LAYARD then continued, and said that although he could not read an extract from those despatches, yet he felt he could refer to them, and he therefore said that in those seven volumes nearly all the terms used by Earl Russell were to be found. The hon. gent emcee then went on to defend the course adopted by Earl Russell, and contended that in all the steps he had taken in order to brag the 1 hosetle p owers to am i ty an d peace th ey had been taken ! in concurrence with France, and he utterly denied that the despatch, which had been so much ecrancnted en as having been written at Gotha by Earl Ruese.l under Ger man milueace was consistent with the facts. Such he assured the house was not the case, as the deepat e n ee were written in L ndon before he went to Gotha. The proposals in that. despatch were accepted by France and Ptussia, but rtfased by Denmark, and had they been ec cepted, they would have tended to a proper settlement of the Schleswig-Holstein difficulty. The hon. gentleman then read quotations from the speech of Lord Palmerston in order to show that France and Russia wet e as much re !erred to in the event of aggression in Denmark as ever England was. The honourable gentleman then pro • ceeded to read extrActs from the correeponcience, to snow that Earl Russell had not used the threats that had been attributed to him, and he denied that that noble lord had ever lost one favourable o pportueityof offerin g me di at i on , even when the Diet was threatening execution. The noble earl had ken accused of seducing Denmark in negotiations, but honourable members, if they r,a - I the blue-book aright, must come Ito a different conclusion. Then, again, it had been said that Earl Russell had launched his noble friend Lord Wodehouso to Copenhagen, but at whose suggestion was he seat from England, not certainly at the instance of this coun try, but at the instance of Russia, and he utterly denied that Earl Russell had ever asked the King of Denmark to do au illegal act, such as had been imputed to him by hon. gentlemen opposite. There was a de spatch written by the noble earl of the most important nature, which bad been generally misunderstood, it was not a war despatch, but one which was hoped would preserve peace. It was not addressed to France alone, but also to Russia, Sweden, Austria, and Prussia, and he con tended that as all the other powers to the treaty had refused to fulfil it, England was released from the necessity of going to war.

The committee then proceeded with the bill of the Great Eastern to make junction railways, and to raise £116,000 on shares and £35,000 by loan.
