The general appearance or the discount market remains without the slightest change of importance, but there is still a tendency towards greater easiness, owing to the abundance of money and the very Moderate requirements of trade. The introduction of new companies seems to have very little eff-et, although there must be a considerable transfer of floating capital from one channel to another. About £12,0U0 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The following elites have been received by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. on account of the New Grenada di v id ends, viz.:—Septa Marta, £2,637 13a.; Cartagena, £800; Subanilia. £300; making a t ota l of £3.737 13s.

Charles Croft, a park constable, said that while closing the gate the previous evening he -aw the prisoner standing on the banks of the Serpentine looking very disconsolate; and, as he thought she was meditating suicide, he sent a young man, not being himself able to leave the gates, to watch her. Before the young man could get to her she jumped into the water up to her shoulders. She was got out and taken to the receiving -house. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the witness whether she gave any reason, and whether she had any friends present. Crott said she gave no reason, but seemed very unhappy, and none of her friends were present. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the girl said she was very sorry, and she had nothing more to say. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a dreadful affair. He should send her to a place for a week, where she would be told the criminality and foolishness of the offence. The prisoner, who seemed in a very desponding state,and who, it was stated, was engaged in a love affair, was then remanded.

This was a suit for a dissolution of marriage instituted by the husband against the wife The parties were married in 1840 at St. George's, Ilano ver-square, and for some time lived on good terms. About four years ago Mrs. Shirley became addicted to drinking, and to such an extent was the vice indulged in that it be came impossible for the husband to live with her. A sepa ration took place, an allowance being made by the hus band to support his wife. This allowance was kept up until certain information reached the husband's ears which induced him so take steps to obtain a decree of divorce. The co-respondent in the case was a person named Statham, a lecturer or preacher on Paddington -green ; and it was alleged in the petition that, after delivering a lecture on the evening of Sept. 11, he met the respondent, who was then leading the life of an abandoneed woman, and pro ceeded with her down a narrow court near the green. Two policemen were near the spot, and in a few minutes after both parties were taken into custody, and, from what took I place at the police-court, the present suit was instituted. Margaret Shirley, the sister of the petitiuner, said, about tour years after marriage Mrs, Shirley became addicted to drinking, but she had never seen her drunk, although she had known her take as much as would intoxicate two or three men. She used to pawn her husband's goods to raise 1 money when sh e cou ld not get i t any other way. She also P had a number of " tally bills." The Judge Ordinary - -Telegrams I Witness—No, my lord, " tally bills." The Judge—l don't know what you mean by " tally bills." Witness —For dress, my lord. The Judge—What are " tally bills." The term is quite a new one to me. Witness —The tally system, my lord P The Judge —I haven't the slightest notion of what you mean I know of a system of payment by tally which is prohibited by law, but I don't know what a tally bill is. Witness —It's for clothing, my lord, to be paid for weekly unknown to her husband. The Judge—Oh, that's what it is, is it. Evidence of identity having been given, the case for the petitioner closed. Tne jury were of opinion that the co-respondent Statham had committed adultery. The Judge Ordinary granted a decree nisi, but without costs. • SHERIFFS' COURT. (Berne Mr. Gibbons.)

If he understood votuntaryieen rightly it was that its pto feelers should do as they liked, and that these who differed with them should act in the s erne spirit ; but they did not act thus, for the p, ceessoi of voluntaryism did not stem short of a ;little.

(Hear, hear.) The Conservatives sitting on that Bide lb() house intended to oppose all a t tacks of this nature on of the Church, no metier from what. quarter they came. Sir G.

(Hear, hear.) Lord J. MANNERS opposed the bill, saying that not withstanding the hon. baronet (Sir J. Trelawny) asseve - rated that be desired to do nothing to injure the Chureh, yet he systematically voted for all the extraordtnary mesa sures brought torwted by the Dissenters. Sir J. TRELAWNY explained that he voted againtt the Burials Bill. I Lord J. MANNERS said that this was the only excep tion to the hon. baronet's invariable endorsement of all the ;mlds of the Dissenters upon the property of the Church of England. A more fatal blow could not be "truck at the principle of kcal self government than by the adoption of this masure. (Hear, hear.) He appealed to those on his side of the house to do their duty, and to those who had voted on former occasions for a similar bill to retrace their steps and reject this bill. Lord A. CHURCHILL explained the nature of the amendment he had put on the paper, should the 141 ever get as far as a committee, as calculated to provife for the repair of the fabrics, and to constitute an excellent substi tute for the church rates proposed to be abolished. His reasen for omitting to seek power to enforce payment of a rate for church repairs was this, that he objected to find. means to repair the fabrics at the hands of the Sheriff's officer, or, indeed, to compel i nvo l untary support. (Hear, hear.) He should therefore vote for the second reading. Mr. NITA LTER declared that he had no connection or sympathy with the Dissenters. The Dissenters bad had sett:oe,ly nayes oi they the pay ue u veernYt many chu°rPcP:rratitensi,libeustobfardidndointgdothn e the church, and now sought ad ot i ss i on to the graveyards.

He, for one, considd t ple who used the church, s should sup port them, those having the best seats paying liberalay, leav ing a large number of the seats free. He had no teitn in the proposed compromise of the noble lora (Lord A. Chu , chili). Within a radius of 15 miles of his residence in the country, a rural district, 26 churches hid been either repaired or rebuilt during the last 20 years, the lowest sure spent on each being 30,000, which h a d been entirely p.m... vided by extraneous funds other than church rates. (Hear) He should be glad to see church lutes abolished, and a re, wetly devised if only to destroy the clamouring of the Dissenters, who ever made these rates a lever to attack the Church and cense an ill feeling against it. With that view of leading to an improved state of things he should sup port the second reading. Mr. NE WDEGATE declined to be committed to any stereotyped mode of supporting the Church, and invited hon. members to attend next Wednesday to disease the measure which he had introduced with respect to church rates, Sir J. TRELAWNY replied, [At this time—five o'clock —the presence of members: Vies as large as on the night of the Budget.] The house then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading Against it Majority against the second reading The tellers, as they came to the table, were loudly cheered by the Opposition. MARRIAGES, &c. (IRELAND) BILL. This amended bill was considered and agreed to with additional amendments, and ordered to be read a third time. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house ad journed at the usual hour. THE :POLISH QUESTION. t The following is the full text of tnc despatch of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. Drouyu de Lhuys, to the Duke of Montebello, the Ambas sador of France at St. Petersburg:— " Monsieur le Dac,--The insurrection of which the King dom of Poland is now the theatre has aroused iu Europe an anxiety, in a time of peace, which no proximate event seemed likely to di , turb. The lamentable effusion of blood caused by this struggle, and the painful incidents connected with it, excite at the same time a deep wad sad emotion. "The Government of his Majesty, therefore, onty obeys a duty in expressing to the Court of Russia the refl,ctions which this state of affairs naturally suggests to it, and in calling its attention to the inconveniences and dangers which it implies. " What characterizes the disturbances in Poland, M. le Due, what gives . them au exceptional 'importance, is the fact that they are not the effects of-a temporary crisis. Effects which are almost invariably reproduced with each genera tion cannot be attributed to purely accidental causes. These . convulsions, which h ave b ecome periodical, are the symp toms of an inveterate evil; tht-y are so many proofs of the impotency of all plans hitherto imagined to reconcile Poland with the position conceded to it.. "On the other hand, these too frequent distutbancea are a source of anxiety and alarm. Poland, which occupies a central position on the continent, cannot be disturbed with out the other States touching upon her frontier suffering a shock which reverberates through the whole of Europe. this has always been the case whenever toe Pbles have taken up arms. These conflicts, as what we are witnessing suffic , ently proves, do not only create anxiety in the Folio mind, but, if they are prolonged, may disturb the relations between the Cabinets and cause most lamentable complica tions. It is the common interest of all the Powers to see that these incessantly recurring dangers are put a stop to. " We flatter ourselves, M. le Duo, that the Court of Rus sia will receive in the same spirit in which we have written them the considerations which are worthy of its attention. " We feel confident that it will show that it is animated by those liberal views of which the reign of his Majesty the Emperor Alexander has already given such striking proofs, and that, in its wisdom, it will take advantage of the oppor tunity of taking measures to place Poland under the condi tions or a durable peaca. "You will please to leave a copy of this despatch with his Excellency Prince Gurtschakoff." MARKETS—This Day. MARK -LANE.

M. Chapman intended to take them on board, preparatory to her entering upon her alleged career of privateering. As she is a sailing vessel, and would not be likely to chase a steamer with much prospect of success, it is sup posed the intention was to lie in wait for one of the California steamers en route to Panama with tree- Cure, to capture the steamer, and to convert the latter into a privateer or Confederate cruiser, and then prey on the commerce of the Pacific Ocean between San Francisco, Panama, &c. It is not yet ascertained what character the J. M. Chapman was to assume—whether that of a Confederate cruiser, under a commission from the Southern President, or that of a privateer under let ters of marque —the former most probably. You will find it stated that any prizes to be taken would be sent to Victoria, Vancouver Island, to be "disposed of." This assertion is entirely gratuitous. Victoria is the last place at which such property could be disposed of—the most unlikely place, within three days' steaming of an American man or -war from San Francisco, to carry prize pr perry to. The nesumption is grounded on a story (which I contradicted some time back) that an effort had been made to fir out a Confederate privateer in Victoria. I have been informed to-day that mea• ' sures have been in progress for nearly a year in San Francisco to get up such an expedition as would capture one or more of the treasure steamers, and that the parties therein engaged put the story of the'' Victoria privateer" in circulation while they were maturing their plans in San Francisco, with the view of deceiving the authorities here and draw ing off their attention from the proceedings going on at this i ort. Notwithstanding the fuss made about the seizure of the J. M. Chapman, most persons are of opinion that the evidence vi ill not be sufficient to condemn her. Her seizure will, however, prevent the suc cess of any similar attempt in future, I have no doubt ; and I send this letter at once, without wait ing for the regul•+r mail steamer, so that its publi cation may allay the fears of parties in Europe in• terested in the Californian treasure shipments. That the obj , ct of this vessel was to capture one of the steamers, arm her with Dahlgren gun,, and than attempt the capture of other American vessels, I am informed there can be no doubt of; but I re peat that now there is no chance of any such mis fortune occurring by means of an expedition to be fitted out in San Francisco. NARROW ESCAPE OF TWO PASSENGER TRAINS. —On Friday, between eight and nine o'clock, a soldier belonging to the 77th Regiment, stationed at Til bury Fort, and who was drunk, went into the watchman's box at the railway crossing on the Milton-road, and, with out provocation whatever, struck the watchman (who is a cripple) with his belt, inflicting a severe wound on the side of his head. He then took possession o f the b oggy ' a n , driving the watchman away. A police - constable , wh o while h ad been sent for, then came up and secured th e m was afraid the watchman immediately opened the crossing gates to admit the trains (one up and the other d own) time a serious due. Had the constable not come up i n W hich were ac cident must have happened, as th e wat ctaw'l toga near the gates in conseq IlkliCe oftheh violence of the soldier. He was taken to b arracks by a military esc or t, and will be brought before the magistrate to account for his conduct,—Alairktono Journal Yesterday their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Dik e of Cambridge, and Prince Louis of Hesee, accompanied by their Grand Ducal Highnesses Prince Alexander and Prince Henry of Hesse, attended by Lieut.-Gen. Knollys, Captain Grey, Mejor Cowell, Captain Westerweiler, and Baron de Rotsmann, visited the camp at Alder shot, and were present at a grand review of the whole of the troops. Ten o'clock was the hour appointed for the re view, but some time previously the troops were under arms, and seen moving in glittering pic• turesque masses to the arid tract of the Long Val ley. There General Pennefather appeared deter. mined to make the most of his comparatively small army —certainly not more than 8,000 or 9,ooo—and drew it up in lines of brigades, infantry in front and cavalry in rear, the artillery, engineers, and military train being disposed of on both flanks of the infantry. The royal party arrived on the ground shortly after ten o'clock, and were received by the troops with the royal salute, the bandsplaying the National Anthem. The troops were then inspected by the royal visitors, who passed up and down the lines in succession, the bands meanwhile playing the Danish National Anthem and various regimental airs. The Long Valley presented an appearance which baffles description. At the best of times a deeert, unredeemed by a single blade of herbage, it looks inhospitable and dreary, but on this occasion a fierce wind wee blowing, and clouds of white, impalpable sand were driving across its whole ex panse. This was an enemy against which no generalship could prevail, and it was met most courageously by the royal party and the assembled spectators as a visitation inseparable from a review at Aldershot; and so the inspection proceeded, the bands playing gaily as if defying the dust-clouds enveloping them, and the royal visitors not appear ing to heed the subtle foe, although they must have been painfully conscious of its all-pervading presence. The inspection over, the interest of the day centred in the field movements which were expected to take place, and which would doubtless have been of a most interesting character but for another vicissitude of campaigning which proved most inopportune. Spectators were moved a con siderable distance on to a heath, fringed with golden gorse in full bloom, and having a picturesque background of wooded hills. Here they were free from the annoyance of sand-storms, and here it was expected the marching past would take place. All present were, therefore, rejoicing in the selec`ion of the position, when a shower, which had given several premonitory tokens of its approach, de scended in full force, and continued until troops and visitors had experienced enough of its effects to make them wish for an order of retreat. The order " of retreat" did not, however, come, but for advance; and on the spectators retracing their steps to their original position, it was found that the rain had sufficiently allayed the dust to allow of the march past taking place there, and this it was feared would conclude the review, as another storm appeared approaching. The marching past comnienced under a clear blue sky, but the heavy clouds in the south-west broke after the cavalry brigade and one infantry brigade had passed the saluting point, when rain and hail, in a furious storm, burst overhead—this time with such violence as fairly to drive every one before it; and here the review ended—for princes and genera's, and whole regiments, equestrians, and pedestrians, beat a precipitate retreat, fairly beaten by an enemy more relentless than the dust. In mingled and picturesque masses the whole assemblage dispersed in very different order and condition to that in which they had taken the field. CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL. Sir J. TRELAWNY moved the second reading of this bill. He regretted the absence of the right hon. gentle man the member for North Wiltshire (Mr. S. Estcourt) from ill health, who had proposed a bill with a view of ef fecting a compromise on this important matter. Parliament had virtually given its assent to the repeal of church-rates, and it w a high time that some satisfactory settlement was arrived at. In 1861, it would be recollected that the bill for the total abolition of church-rates was only lost by a mejority of one, and that the veto of the right hen. gentleman in the chair. Strictly speaking, church rates were th, mosquitos of the Church of England, for they were a perennial source of irritation. He disclaimed any intention to injure the Church or to separate it from the State. He had done all he could to bring about a substan tial compromise, but he regretted his endeavours in this direction had not received very liberal support. He con fessed he could not understand the language and policy of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the subject of church rates. The right hon. gentleman advocated civil and re ligious liberty in all church matters, but nevertheless he did novoto either way in connection with the abolition of church itates. (Hear, hear.) Ile trusted the right hon gentleman would explain his conduct. He hoped hon. members would cease to make this subject a stalking horse for their personal aggratdisetnent or ambition, and proceed at once and finally to a settlement of a matter which had re- ; mained open and unsettled too long, Strictly speaking, the church was the church of the people, and in most churches a certain number of seats were set apart for those who were unable to pay for seats, but in some cases, as in Manchester, some of those seats have been let, and it could hardly be expected that in such ci.cumstane-2s people would pay church rates with good feeling. He was at a loss to understand the grounds on which the hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. G. Hardy) proposed to meet his bill with a direct negative, without offeri g any substantial amend ment. Now was the time for those on the other side to accept the olive leaf, and at one • to come to a defi.,ite un derstanding on the matter. Those who now opposed a settlement would have to answer for their conduct at the hustings. Sir C. DOUGLAS seconded the motion. Mr. G. HARDY rose to move as an amendment that this bill be read a second time that day six mouths. He should leave the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whose mind was certainly undergoing some extraordinary changes, to explain his conduct with respect to church rates, (Laughter.) H held that in no case were church rates unjust; they had been levied for 1,000 years, and with the consent of the owners of the land But for them we should not probably be enjoying the blessings of religion, nor the ben, fits of education, for it must never be forgotten that the Church fostered and popularised the art of printing. The bill proposed to take away a quarter of a million easily collected, and indispensable r maintenance - of the fabrics and their pastors. LetDi&enters leave the Church alone, for voluntaryism was defined by one of its chief supporters as the principle of non-interference with Church or State-- and strive to emulate her in good works. (Hear, hear,) The supporters of voluntarism belied and vitiated their principles in sending up petitions, until the table groaned with them, asking the Sate to interfere with the observance of the Sabbath, bnt they would not allow the slightest in terference with themselves. (Hear, hear.) The beat argument in favour of the retention of Church-rates was that they were maintained in the large towns with which the supporters of this bill were connected, (Hear, hear.) And he therefore charged those who supported the bill tik: thus acting inconsistently. The hon, baronet appealed to the decisions of two Parliaments on these rates, but it muse not be forgotten that the present Parliament had agreed, by resolution, that these ancient rules ought not to be abrogatsd until a remedy w -re devised in the nature of a substitute. To be consistent the house should reject this bill, (Hear, hear.) Those who supported this bill con sidered that the Church ought not to 'be maintained in con nection with the State; those who opposed it entertained a diametrically opposite opinion : hence there could be no compromise on account of this diversity of their sentiments.

He dented that it was a child of the ° Liberation society— indeed, its principles bad been adopted long before that society was torn:ed. There had been no change of public opinion with respect to church rates, for the recent peti tions presented against them exhibited a large majority of signatures over tho-o iu favour of them. And the feeling of the house, as testified in its votes, denoted that then• was a growing opinion in favour of the abnegation of these rates. (Hear, near.)
