CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is a good demand for accommodation in the general discount markets, and at full quotations, six per cent. being the lowest charge for the best three months' paper. About £17,000 in bar gold was taken into the Bank yesterday, but 60,000 sovereigns were with drawn for exportation to the Brazils. I❑ the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon a slight downward movement took place. The first report of the Scinde, Punjaub, and Delki Bank Corporation has been issued today. It states that until the close of the present year, up to Which period the six months' balance will be paid, it would be premature to offer any statement of accounts to the shareholders. The preliminary expenses have been moderate, and the new London premises acquired. The capital hitherto called up is stated to have been profitably employed, and the directors announce their intention of issuing 12,000 additional shares at par to present shareholders. Branches at Kurrachee and Bombay have been opened, and arrangements are in progress for esta blishing offices in the Panjanb. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes. were 67f. 35c. Heavy. _ _ Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £92,713, and the exports to £1,076,190. Very little animation has resulted from to •day's business in the English Funds, yet the tendency of prices has been favourable, and an advance of k per cent. has rendered the market buoyant. There appears to be a more confident feeling, perhaps, in consequence of the easier aspect of the money mar ket, and a few speculative purchases, under the circumstances, have occasioned additional firmness. Consols are 92& d for money, and 91- ii less the dividend for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities have been dealt in at NT°, s ; India 5 per Cents., 1081 ; the Debentures, 99 ; the Bcnds par to 7 prem.; Ex chequer Bills Bs. to 4s. die.; and Bank Stock, 235 237. In the Foreign Market there has been more buoyancy, but at the close prices are not quite at their best point. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 691 701 ; do., 1862;691 701 ; do., Consolid&, 471 ; Greek, 301 H ; Spanish Passive, 341 1; do., Cer tificates, 138 148 ; Mexican, 381 1 • Italian, 70/ 711; Portuguese Scrip, / 11 pm. ; and the Confe derate Loan, 56 58. In the Railway Share Market business has con tinued moderately active, and prices in most instances are well sustained. South Western and Midland have improved ss. ; Great Eastern and South Eastern, 10s.; and London., Chatham, and Dover, £1; Metropolitan, however, have receded ss. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings gene l'any sustain former rates. Bank Shares are quiet, and exhibit little varia tion as regards prices. Ia the Miscellaneous Market there is no mate r►al change to report, both as regards the amount of business transacted and prices. „ BRITISH FUNDS--CLOSING PRICES. /lank Stock 237 5 a 90a Neerper Cent.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1803. LAW INTELLIGENCE---This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) DREDGE V. DREDGE AND GREY. This was a petition presented by the husband praying for the dissolution of the marriage on the ground of the adultery of his wife. The petitioner was at the time of his marriage about 19 years of age, the female being some years his senior. After marriage they went to reside at Pimlico, and for a time things went on very comfortable, During his absence at business the wife, it appeared, became ac-• quainted with the co-respondent Grey, a private in the Coldstream Guards, then quartered in the Wellington barracks, Bird-cage-walk. On one occasion an invi tation was sent for Mr. and Mrs. Dredge to dine with a relative of the husband's, when Mrs. Dredge declined, on the ground that she had promised to visit her father that day, but she persuaded her husband to accept the invitation. This was done, and then it was alleged that having given her husband to understand that she should be from home all day, she received a visit from the soldier, who remained to dinner and supper. When he was leaving the house ho was observed to have Mr. Dredge's greatcoat over his regimentals, and instead of wearing his regimental cap he had one of the husband''s hats on. On another occasion she met the co-respondent while out walking in the park, and as he had a companion with him she directed her female servant to go and walk with Grey's companion, while she had a conversation with him. There were, also, some other very discreditable proceedings detailed, such as the wife passing herself off as a nursemaid. The Judge• Ordinary was quite satisfied that the allega tions in the petition had been proved, and he granted a decree nisi. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. THE ALEXANDRA. The Solicitor-General commenced hie argument this morning, and was proceeding when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUG=H-STREET. A CONSTABLE'S CURE POE SHAM FITS—AN IMPOSTOR. —William Booth, a dirty. looking fellow, was charged with being found in the area of the house of the Earl of Lucan, 36, South-street, St. George's, for an unlawful purpose. Reeves, 41 C, said that on the previous afternoon he was called to the residence of the Earl of Lucan, and on going down into the area he found the prisoner lying down as if in a fit. He called to the servant to bring him a pail of water, and as soon as the prisoner heard the word water mentioned he looked up as fresh as ho then appeared in court. Mr. Yardley supposed there was a little hydrophobia, and asked the prisoner what ho had been ? Prisoner said he had been a soldier, and the sun had affected him. He was down the area for the purpose of begging, having come from Macclesfield to get his discharge renewed at the Horse Guards, having lost it. Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner when he was discharged, and where it was that the sun affected him ? Prisoner said he was discharged three years ago, and had been wi h his regiment, the 23d, to India, Mr. Yardley inquired what part ? and the prisoner an swered Calcutta ; and, in answer to further questions, the prisoner went afterwards to ifroballah, but he had no idea how far it was from Calcutta, whether 100 or 500 miles, and said it might be 1,000. The Earl of Lucan's servant said the prisoner came to the house yesterday afternoon and begged, and, as he would not leave, he was obliged to get the assistance of a constable. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for 14 days. Prisoner asked the magistrate to let him off. Mr. Yardley said the prisoner had got hold of the name of two places in India, but knew nothing about them ; and a man who lived by lying he could not let off, and if the prisoner came again the punishment would be more severe. ..............• THAMES. A DANGEROUS YOUNG THlEF.—Henry Pickett, a very cunning young thief, well dressed, and got up in most ap proved style, and who put on an appearance of innocence which would have deceived any but the most experienced officers, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with committing a very impudent robbery in a public street. The prisoner is not quite 12 years of age, and he has been in custody 20 times. Yesterday (Friday) afternoon a man named George Smith, of No. 6, York-street, Commercial road, East, was driving a horse and cart along Oxford street, Whitechapel, at the back of the London Hospital, when his attention wcs called to the prisoner who was at the back of the cart in the act of drawing some linen out of a trunk. A white holland jacket was in his hand. The prisoner, on finding himself discovered, immediately called out to the driver of the horse and cart, "There they go, sir, down that street, they have been stealing your things." Very fortunately the driver did not proceed in the direction indicated by the prisoner. If he had done so the horse, cart, and £5O worth of linen belonging to the proprietors of the London Tavern, would have been taken away in his absence. The prisoner was detained until Police Sergeant Wood, 16 K, arrived, who took him into custody. 'I he prisoner made a very plausible address in defence. He said that that he observed some thieves pulling linen cut of a trunk in the cart, and interrupted them, and began to replace the linen in the trunk. Observing the driver turn round, he called to him andTointed out the direction the thieves had taken. He considered it very harsh indeed, because he had prevented a robbery he should be arrested as a thief. He was respectably connected, and begged of the magistrate to send for his father and friends, who would feel most acutely his undeserved and degrading position. Thomas Venables, an old detective officer, No. 141 K, here stepped forward and said, " This boy is the most dan gerous thief in London.,' His appearance and manner is so deceptive. He has been several times convicted for petty robberies and picking pockets. He was convicted in May last, and sentenced to three months imprisonment and hard labour, and three years schooling in a reforma tory school for picking pockets at the South-Eastern rail way station. His father got him off and he was sent to a reformatory. He is the cleverest young pickpocket and thief we have. Mr. Partridge asked the prisoner if he would be tried by him (the magistrate) or at the sessions ? The prisoner —Well, sir, I will be tried here if I itm to be tried at all. I was blamed for robbing a till in Devon shire-street. I can tell you the man who did it. If you will let me go I will tell you of many robberies, and where the people who did things:are to be found. Wood—Yes, sir, he told me outside the court he could put me on to several chaps if I could square my evidence and get him out of this. Mr. Partridge said so dangerous and incorrigible a thief as the prisoner must be removed from society for a long time, and sentenced him to be detained for three years in the Feltham Industrial School.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appear that gold is about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4251 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.43- per £1 sterling. t.andard gold at the English 31int,price is, therefore, nearly 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 159 to 160 i per cent., and the premium on gold is about 46 percent. At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of gold from the United,States. We (Ayr Advertiser) regret very much to hear that Lord Ardmillau's affection of the eye, supposed to have been occasioned by the fragments of a gun cap, is not passing away so soon as was expected.

SIR WILLIAM ATHERTON'S HEALTH.—We are happy to hear, says the Court Chronicle, that the serious malady which afflicted the ex-Attorney-General has ap parently entirely left him ; but we are afraid that there is little reason to hope that he will be able to resume the ac tive duties of his profession. THE BRIDAL GIFT OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA.---W C had recently an opportunity to inspect the bridal gift to be presented to the Princes? of Wales from the ladies of South Australia. It is a beautiful present, and, w h e th er the object, the chasteness of the desi gn, or th e exqu i s it e finish of the workmanship be considered, most creditable to South Australian loyalty and good taste. The bridal gift consists of a stand. a stem, and an ovel jewel casket, sur mounted by an eagle-hawk, and ..presents a ple as i ng com bination of familiar Australian forms. Th e e d ge o f t h e stand or basis is of malachite, richly veined and clouded ; tho groundwork a plane, with a cluster of rocks in the centre in gold. The plane is covered with scu l pture d vegi tation, in which the Sturt pea is predominant; and the rocks are partially clothed with luxuriant ferns and grass -trees. An aborigine, in the dusky livery of his race, is seen in the attitude of throwing a spear, while his lubria is seated patiently awaiting her lord's return from th e c h ase. I n the distance are kangaroos and emus in pairs, and th e y are b y no means bad specimens as compared with the noble sav a g e denizens of our forests. T he stem is clasped by a vine which spreads its ample leaves to receive the casket, which is formed of an emu's egg laid lengthwise, an d cu t an d hinged in the centre. Two snakes also wind round the stem, and their eyes of emerald contrast finely with the gold in which they are set. The opening of the casket is lipped with gold, enriched with the foliage a nd fl ower of a native creeper ; it is lined with crimson silk velvet, and foams a recess worthy to enshrine the choicest gems of a princess. Th e g ift stands 17 inches high. It is, with the exception of the malachite plinth, tne aborigine, the emu's egg, and the emerald eyes of the snakes, made of pure gold. It is inscribed, "To her Royal Highness Alexandra, Princess of Wales, from the wives and Daughters of South Australia," Its value is £323.-4ustralian .Paper, SIIAKSPERE'S COMMENTATORS !

ARREST OF PRINCE PASKIEWITCH.—VIENNA, Nov. 17.—T0-day Prince Paskiewitch, a son of the famous General, who conquered and held in subjection Poland for twenty years, arrived at this capital, attended by an Austrian detective and two policemen. The Prince had been staying at Venice for several weeks for the benefit of his health, as he asserts to keep up a connection with the revolutionary committee, as the Government suspect. His dealings seem to have been of an important character, the Government having resolved not only to remove him from the scene of his activity, but also to send him into the in terior for awhile, although a prince, a general, and a Rus sian subject. Until further notice, he will be obliged to take up his residence in Brunn, in Moravia, and submit to official surveillance. It is not a little amusing to perceive that the papers have been ordered to attribute his arrest to some underhand work with the great Polish conspiracy. Paskiewitch and Poland—Polish conspiracy and Venice ; there are about as many impossibilities as words in the charge. COLONEL CRAWLEY and " Historicus," sketched by a graphic reporter.—He (Colonel Crawley) is a man above the average height, of a manly build, wearing a Crimean medal with one bar. His hair is thin, approach ing to grey—he wears a broad, closely-cropped, and very thin whisker, with a thin dark moustache. The nose is prominent, his brow of an average height, and the whole face might be fairly styled handsome were it not (here comes themischief) for a blemish in the eyes,or rather in the position of them, for the eyes themselves are clear, keen, restless organs, very apt to detect, we should imagine, a speck of dirt on a soldier's accoutrements, but they are placed too closely together, and the eyebrow comes heavily over, in a way to give a stern, almost sinister, look to the whole face, and detects from its otherwise open expression. The cheek bones are high, and in the progress of the trial became flushed." With a nose and eyebrows like that, Colonel Crawley can hardly be otherwise than guilty. Mr. Vernon Harcourt, the legal adviser of the colonel (of whom the re• porter informs us that he "is understood to be the ' Histo ricus' of the limes") does not escape the ken of this pho tographic describer, "He has a good legal face, with a keen eye and a lipless mouth, expressive of no mean determina tion if he should ever require to exercise it, Apparently, as if to balance his expression, he parts somewhat effemi nately at the middle." What hope can there be of Colonel Crawley, when his adviser parts his hair down the middle ? Perhaps the reporter curls his.— The Lady's Newspaper. EASY DOES IT!—The description 'if an old man at work tinkering up a boat, vide Wilkie Collins's " Miscellanies :"—" He is sitting on the left side of the vessel when I first look at him. In one hand he holds a crooked nail; in the other, a hammer. He coughs slowly, and looks out to sea; he sighs slowly, and looks back to wards the land; he rises slowly, and surveys the deck of the vessel; he stoops slowly, and picks up a flat bit of iron, and puts it on the bulwark, and places the crooked nail upon it, and then sits down and looks at the effect of the arrangement so far. When he has had enough of the arrange ment, he gives the sea a turn again, then the land, After that, he steps back a little and looks at the hammer, weighs it gently in his hand, moistens his hand, advances to the crooked nail on the bit of iron, groans softly to himself and shakes his head as he looks at it, administers three delibe rate taps with the hammer, to straighten it, finds that ho does not succeed to his mind ; again groans softly, again shakes his head, again sits down and rests himself on the left side of the vessel. Since I first looked at him I have timed him by my watch; he has killed a quarter of an hour over that one crooked nail, and ho has not straightened it yet I Wonderful man, can I over hope to rival him ? Will he condescend to talk to me ? Stay 1 lam not free to try him ; the doctor has told me not to excite myself with society; all communion of mind between me and this finished and perfect idler is, I fear, prohibited. Better to walk on, and come back, and look at him again. ANOTHER DEATH FROM STARVATION.—Yester day afternoon Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, held an inquiry at the Sir George Osborne's Head Tavern, Princes-street, Mile-end, respecting the death of Henry Lerry, who was found dying from starvation in the public street. James White, 90 11, said that on Tuesday night about 10 o'clock, he saw deceased lying insensible in Old Montague-street. Witness thought he was drunk, and got a stretcher and removed him to the station, where he was locked up in the cell. He got no food, but the next morning he was taken to the workhouse. The only thence d rd to s he could speak were "Henry Larry," which was believet to be his name.

An interesting discovery was made at Norton, in the East Riding, early in this week. A labourer digging for sand in a field cast of the town belong ing to Mr. W. Crawford, found a flag about a yard below the surface. Upon excavating round and re moving the flagstone (which was of limestone shale) several other stones (sandstones) were found, all bearing evidence of havin g been worked on one side. These had evidently at some remote period formed the walls of a vault or cyst, which had fallen in. On removal a considerable quantity of decayed woad and several human bones, of which a por tion of the skull was most distinct, were found below, from which were taken two implements of iron, deeply corroded, resembling very rudely form e d hinges, originally somewhat massive. From among the sand thrown out the bottom of a lachryznatory of the ordinary sun-baked Roman pottery and vari. ous fragments of the same, together with the lid of a different utensil of the beautiful red pottery known as Samian ware, were gathered. There did not seem to have been any cinerary urn... indeed, from the condition of the bones, cremation had evidently been absent. The field in which the burial has been found has yielded a very large number of small copper coins of the Em. peror Constantine. Mr. G. Pycock, the antiquarian, has examined the place and the relics, and is of opinion that the burial, though Roman, was not originally made in the position found, but that the remains have at some period been found and rein terred, with the pottery, in the box (of which the decayed wood and hinges gave evidence), and that the stones of the original cyst had been carelessly piled around the second interment, the box having been first placed upon a sort of pavement, about five feet below the surface. Mr. Howitt, a son ot,..Witilam and Mary Howitt, and a brother of the celebrated Australian explorer of th© same name, has, with three others, been drowned, owing to the upsetting of a canoe on Lake Brunner, in the western district of Canterbury, New Zealand. PETROLEUM ACCIDENT AND Loss OF TIMEX LTVES.—An explosion of American oil, attended by loss of life, took place at the village of Oxenhope, in York - *shire, on Wednesday night. Mr. John Parker, a small shopkeeper there, a short time since purchased a barrel of petroleum, which we are informed was sold as Young's patent paraffin oil. Requiring to use a portion of it, he was in the act of raising the cask to a convenient place upon the counter, where a candle was burning. When about half a yard away from the light a leakage was observed, and in an instant a loud explosion occurred, blowing Mr. Parker come pletely through the doorway. The whole house was quickly enveloped in flames, and the inmates of the shop Mrs. Parker and two sons, were thrown down with great violence. Th e mother had a mcst miraculous escape. On recovering her feet she rushed to the cradle, snatched her infant to her arms, and passing through the fire, gained the road with but little injury. The sons—John William, aged 17, and Olbin, 11—made for the stairs, and succeeded in reaching a side bedroom on the first floor. The eldest jumped out of the winiow, and was picked up in an apparently lifeless state. He has since returned to consciousness, but lies in a ve ry dangerous condit ion, bein g drea dfully burnt above the g el li y . te ( r )v s : r A t n: l e face, hands, and side.

The art of cookery, which, as a rule, should form a department of female education, especially among the middle classes of society, is unfortunately greatly neglected in this country, and tho consequences are often glaringly apparent. An ill-cooked, and as a matter of coursa indigestible, dinner is in many families a misery of almost daily occurrence. Every effort to comateract this serious evil is thtwetore deserving of encouragement, and we are glad to observe that a step has been taken in the right direction by the establishment o f a school for culinary instruction. This institution is now in practical operation at No. 111, Great Portland-street, underthe abl e management of Mrs. Mitchell, who, we hearetrty hope, w ill meet with success in her very useful and mach needed undertaking. in A NEW P IGMENT h as l a t e l y b een discovered California, yi e ldi ng 74 diff eren t ti n t s , from ver million to dove-colour.
