ONEY MARKET AND CO?"1111ZRCIAL INTELLIGENCE, - CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the 'general discount market there is little business in progress owing, to the expected reduc tion tomorrow in th e B an k of England minimum. Merchants and others are holdingover their bills, be cause they know if a do wnwar d movemen t b e ma d e by the authorities, still greater concessions will be offered th em b y the brokers. The public and private establishments are therefore anxious to aeoura all the paper now brcught forward at present rates, which are 6a and 6,3 per cent. About 50,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from tLe Bank yesterday for the Brazils. .The I Vave of Lif e h as arr i ve d f rom P ost Phillip with £20,888, end the City of London from New York with 181,063. _ Th ere was no a l terat i on of importance in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. _ The sh areholders of the London and Caledonian tMarine Insurance Company held a special meeting o day for th e purpose of confirming certain resolu ns levee,. n g Li the future government o f t h e Insti tution.

(Before Mr Justice Crompton.) 'MANSLAUGHTER BY A LUNATIC. M ARLBOROUGH-STREET. A TRADESMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING HIS WIFE.-Mr Jas.. William Dexter, milliner, of No. 1, Cran bourn-street, was charged before Mr Knox with assaulting his wife, Jane. Peter Prederick Knight was placed at the bar to plead in an indictment charging him with the manslaughter of W m. Harringdon. It will be recollected that both prisoner and deceased were inmates of Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, and that death was occasioned through an encounter between the two unfortu- The complainant, who gave her evidence in a very pe culiar manner, said—l have only been confined three weeks. My husband last night caught hold of my throat and nearly choked me, and then told a policeman what he had done, and the policeman refused to take my husband because I had no marks on me, We then went indoors, and my husband gays me a blow on the nose and tore my clothes. He was drunk, and always is drunk. Defendant—How many half-quarterns of brandy did you have yesterday ? nate men. Dr Gibson, surgeon of Newgate, and another medical gentleman, said they considered the prisoner to be in a state of mind quite unfit to plead. The learned Judge said, that being the case, he should order him to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. NEW COURT. (Before Mr Baron Bramwell.) KEEPING AN UNLICENSED LUNATIC ASYLUM. Complainant—Ob, fifty. Defendant—Were you n o t pu t to b ed yester d ay at dinner time insensibly drunk P Complainant—Oh, yes. Mrs Sophia Leander surrendered to an indictment pre ferred against her by the Commissioners of Lunacy with keeping an unlicensed house for the reception of lunatics. The defendant, it appeared, was the proprietor of an establishment called Zion House, Hackney, and it having come to the knowledge of the Commissioners in Luaacy, they sent Dr Christie, the proprietor of a licensed establish ment, to examine and report upon the facts of the case. The doctor informed the Commissioners that he examined six persons, who all exhibited undoubted evidence of dis eased mind, some of them, in fact, bordering on idiotcy. There were in addition between 70 and 80 other patients all subject to delirium; but it was alleged that the establish•. ment was not a lunatic asylum, but a charitable institution founded mainly for the safe custody and treatment of per sons suffering from temporary idiotcy or unsoundness of intellect. The Act of Parliament makes it a misdemeanour of carrying on an unlicensed asylum for the reception of lunatics or idiots. Inspector Walker—Th.o complainant has been drinking this morning. Police-constable, 51 C—A.bout half-past 12 last night the complainam ask©d me to take the defendant into cus tody, but as she had no marks about her I refused, telling her she could come this morning to the court. Mr Knox—You Were perfectly right in doing so. Constable—The defendant said he had not illused his wife. The defendant had been drinking a little, but his wife was very excited. On going round my beat again I found the complainants nose bleeding, and on her charging her husband with having again assaulted her I took him into custody. The defendant said his wife had fallen in the passage. Defendant—Did I not try to avoid ray wife ? Constable—You did. Defendant—Look at my h an d s your wors hi p. Sh e i s always clawing me. Y esterday she had five half quarterns of brandy before dinner, and was then put to bed. Later in the day she threw several things at me, and I went out till night to avoid her. On returning she again,clawed me, being intoxicated at the time. We have been married seven years, and I attend to business and keep the books. A young woman was called, and said that Mrs Dexter had been drinking and fell, and Lut for her would have broken her neck. Mr Knox—lt is quite clear t o me that Mrs Dexter, who was said not to be sober yesterday, is not sober to-day, and had her husband attempted to strangle her she would have some marks on her throat. It is pretty evident what sort of a woman she is by the answer as to the 50 half quarterns of brandy. It is not a case for a Magistrate's interference, The defendant was then discha rged, and as he Was leav ing the court his wife attempted t o assault him, but was and I am sorry the defendant has such a drunken wife. prevented. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGIT JEALOUSY. Jane Reed, a respectably attired married woman, living in Chapel-mews, Portland-place, was charged before Mr. Knox, with the following determined attempt to destroy herself: — From the evidence of a young man named Wm. Summers, square, it appeared that s creams proceeding from ded, an d on going to see t r o h e n : i t d hh i eo n u g psre i e n vwi C ho h ue a rs e r a l f t tt o he n ren -s po t ro r i e ns e oh t n , ee F rh i e t r z ae r rs o di Y the cause, he was informed that a female was hanging in a back room. He immediately went to the room and saw the prisoner being held from the floor by two or th ree women, a cord attached to a beam being tied round her neck. The prisoner was quite insensible at the tim e . In answer to Mr. Knox witness said the prisoner was the wife of the foreman of a yard. Mrs. Mary Anu Robbins, residing in the same house, said her daughter informed her that Airs. Reed was hang ing in the room, and on going down she found it to be the case, She then gave an alarm, and Summers cut her down. William Moorcroft, 165 E, said the prisoner told him that her husband had threatened to cut her th roat, and she did it because she would not give him the chance. The husband of the prisoner said th e f act was his wife had made the attempt on her life. t hrough jealousy. H e went into a public-house with a friend to have a glass, and two women were there, and some kind person went and told his wife he was drinking with women. He believed that a feeling of jealousy and a little drink had induced his wife to act as she had done. Mr. Knox said it was a serious matter, for if the prisoner had not been seen, as she fortunately was, she would have been a dead woman. He did not think the prisoner's mind could be in a right state if she did such a thing for such a trivial cause. He should remand her for a week that she might be seen by the physician and the chaplain of the House of Detention Serjeant Ballantine addressed the jury for the defendant. Mr Baron Bramwell summed up the evidence, and said, the question of the jury to decide was aye or no—had the defendant contravened tie provisions of a very salutary Act of Parliament, which was calculated, at the same time, to protect the helpless and those who undertook their care and custody. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. The counsel for the commissioners said they had no desire to press for punishment, all they desired was the suppression of the establishment. Mr Baron Bramwell said that being the case, the better course to pursue would be to direct the lady to enter into her own recognisances to appear for judgment if necessary, and in the meantime some arrangement agreeable to all parties could be entered into. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Michael Moran was indicted for assaulting and robbing an aged man named John Bear. The jury found him guilty, and several previous convict tions having been proved against him, Tho Common Sergeant sentenced him to seven years' penal servitude. MARKETS—This Day, THE SUN, LONDON', WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 8, 1864. MARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was moderate. Both for red and white qualities the trade ruled quiet. Nevertheless selected parcels supported Monday's currency. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat. In nearly all descriptions sales progressed slowly, yet prices ruled stationary, Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late rates. The supply of barley on sale was seasonably large. The trade, however, was moderately active, and Monday's prices were supported. Malt changed hands slowly, at late rates. Oats, the supply of which on sale was moderate, ruled firm, at quite previous quotations. Beans and peas were quite as dear as on llonday. The flour trade was steady, and late urices were sup ported.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint priee of £3 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 stcrlin4. tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-lOths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills st 60 days' sight is about 204 per cent., and the premium on gold is 862 per cent. At these rates there is a small pro t on the importation of gold from the United States. A SPECIMEN OF THE GRAPHIC STYLE OF TACITUS Galin was hurried to and fro with every movement of the surging crowd ; the halls and temples all around were thronged with spectators of this dismal sight. Not a voice was heard from the people or even from the tabble. Everywhere were terror-stricken countenances, and ears turned to catch every sound. It was a scene neither of agitation nor of repose, but there reigned the silence of profound alarm and profound indignation. Otho, however, was told that they were arming the mob. He ordered his men to hurry on at full speed, and to anticipate the danger. Then did these Roman soldiers rush forward like men who had to drive some Vologeses or Pacorus from the ancestral throne of the Arsacidal, not as though they were hastening to murder their aged and defenceless Em peror. In all the terror of their arms, and at the full speed of their horses, they burst into the Forum, thrusting aside the crowd and trampling on the Senate. Neither the sight of the Capitol, nor the sanctity of the overhanging temples, nor the thought of rulers past or future, could deter them from committing a crime, which any one succeeding to power must avenge. WESTMINSTER. NEIGHBOURS' QUARRELS. — George Cotton appeared to a summons before Mr. Arnold, charged with making use of abusive language towards a female named Ogilvie, who was subsequently charged with throwing a pail of water over an infant. Mr. Drew, solicitor, of New Basinghall street, was engaged for the complainant. It appeared that the complainant and the defendant were neighbours, living in George-street, Chelsea, and that they were not on friendly terms, On the 27th of May, com plainant was at her door, when the defendant, who hap pened to see her, made use of some filthy expressions, and called her an old washerwoman, complainant not being of that occupation. Upon this summons being issued, a counter-summons was taken out against the complainant, who was accused of throwing a pail of water over an infant belonging to the defendant. Numerous witnesses were examined:on each side, and it was stated by one of them that the infant was nearly drowned. Complainant denied that she flung the water as alleged, and said that she intended the water for the defendant's son, who was annoying her, and that accidentally some of the water went over the child. She was sorry that any of it went over the infant. Mr Arnold observed that such was most likely to be the case, and that he thought the best course to take was to hold each to bail to keep the peace towards the other for six months. This was done, and the parties left the court. DANGEROUS SPORT. T —AHAMES. mechanic named Hemming, an of Glanen's-street, Bow- co mmon, came before Mr Partridge, d complained of the dangerous nature of the pigeon . shooting, practised in the grounds of the Prince of Wales tavern, on Bow-common. The shot from a rifle aimed at a tamed pigeon struck his back window, broke five panes o f glass, and were scattered about the room. Two shots entered his breast and put him to great pain and incon- venience. Mr house ? Partridge—How f ar i s the shooting ground from your Applicanti—dgAe_boinitoltofityr is yards. I can't say.

There is every reason to anticipate that the Danish Government will persist in its prudent oppo sition to the indefinite prolongation of the armistice The German Powers for strategical, the English Cabinet for parliamentary, purposes, are equally desirous of gaining time. In a few months the sea son, which is advantageous to the Danes, will have passed away; in a few weeks Paz 'lament will be disbanded; and when the summer is over Thnnaark will once more be at the mercy of Ge7rnany, and the guardianship of English interests and English honour be entrusted to an uncontrolled and vir tually irresponsible executive. We frankly con fess that the prospect of further disaster to Den mark is not the apprehension which we have principally in view when we express the anxious hope that the design which the German and English plenipotentiaries aro pursuing together may be speedily and finally frus trated. We are more concerned to perceive that the peace of Europe cannot be considered secure as long as a question so fertile in discord is allowed to remain unsettled. But what touches us most nearly is the reflection that, if the Ministerial tactics attain their object, we may again be subjectcd to the humiliation under which tha country is still smarting, and be condemned to witness another aeries of threatening despatches, followed by vacil, lating conduct, and resulting in concession and surrender. If the peace of Europe requires that the Danish question should no longer be left in suspense, it is no less indispensable to the honour and dignity of England, that the opportunity should immediately be given to Parliament, undiaturhcd by current negotiations, to review the foreign policy of Her Majesty's Government, and to determine whether we are still to be represented before the world by men whose acts and language are so little in corres pondence with the generous spirit of our country. It is because we believe that it will have the effect of hastening a solution, that we congratulate the country upon the animated debate which unexpectedly arose in the House of Commons on' Monday night. No one can reproach the Opposition with a want of forbearance, and Mr. Disraeli's demand for information is as little open to the charge of being excessive as it is ,o that of being premature. Mr. Kinglake, al. though too anxious to serve the German cause to subject the Government to inconvenient interpella- tions, fully ackno cvledged the force of Mr. Disraeli's position, that the reserve of the House of Commons was dependent upon the fidelity of Ministers to the basis of their negotiations. Even according to Mr. Kinglake, a change in that basis ought to be com municated to Parliament in order that it may have the opportunity of expressing its unaltered confi dence in the Government, or its disapprobation of their new policy. If we be rightly informed, the Danish pleni. potentiaries have adroitly availed themselves of the opening afforded by the English proposi tion to place the Government in an embarrass ing dilemma. ' They have, it appears, agreed to accept the proposed boundary of the Schlei, on the condition that England should make its accept ance by Germany an ultimatum. Although in our own opinion the Government should have adhered to a system of non-intervention, which would have made such a demand impossible, it cannot be denied that, after all that has been written and said by her Majesty's Ministry on the Schleswig-Holstein question, Denmark has a right to expect that the arbitration of so great a country as England should, if necessary, be backed by efficient action. Unless this demarad be complied with, and unless the Ger man plenipotentiaries show themselves on Thurs day next more yielding than they appeared on Monday, it is probable that the labours of the Con ference will be brought to an abrupt conclusion. It is satisfactory to reflect that the interval in the negotiations will be usefully occupied by de- bates in Parliament, which cm nGw no longer be postponed, By a variety of expedients, ;Ile Govern• meat succeed( d in suppressing discussion before Easter. and since then the Conference has come to :heir assistance ; but the country is impatient of delay, and unless the regular organs of opposition in Parliament be found ready, as we have every reason to anticipate that they will, to perform their constitutional duties, the indignation of the people will find vent through other and unsuspected chan- nels. Nothing could be more fatal to the influence of Parliament than the neglect, at such a crisis as the prsbent, of its supreme functions as the autho- rised interpreter of public opinion. The Gun-cotton Explosion at Stowmarket. The inquest on the body of Elizabeth Barnard, the second person whose death had been caused by the explosion at Messrs. Prentice's guncotton factory, was resumed on Monday morning at Stow market. Mr. F. B. Marriott, the coroner, stated that the Secretary of State for War had instructed a competent officer to inspect the works and give evidence at the inquest. After several of the workpeople had been re-examined Mr. Manning Prentice stated that he had visited various scientific gentlemen in London to endeavour to ascertain the cause of the explosion. Professor Tyndal, to whom the knife used in cutting the cotton, with its notches, was shown, at once expressed his opinion that it arose from this knife coming in contact with the copper wire employed in the cotton which is cut. Mr. Prentice also read a series of new regulations for the factory, prepared with the concurrence of Mr. Abel, the chemist to the War Department. Dr. William Allen Miller, Pro fessor of Chemistry at King's College, London, the first scientific witness examined, said, Dr. Frank land and myself came down from London on Seturn day, and visited the Gun-cotton Factory, where we saw the whole operation of the manufacture of the cotton. We then proceeded to make experiments on the ignition of gun-cotton by mechanical means, particularly with the cutting machine. We made a great number of experiments, our object being to satisfy ourselves upon the conditions which were likely to arise, and to ascertain the cause of I the explosion. We took pieces of copper wire and placed them so that they should be cut through, and endeavoured to' ignite it in that way, The copper was placed in various ways, sometimes spirally and sometimes in the rope, and we also tried to shave a piece off. We made 40 or 50 cuts through the rope and the copper in various ways, but did not succeed in firing the cotton in this way. We put some small pieces of flint into the rope, and cut it three or four times without any explosion, but on the fourth or fifth cut the cotton exploded. I think there can be very little doubt that the ex plosion was caused by the action of the knife either upon copper or grit. lam not certain which, but I think most probably copper. Dr. E. Frankland, Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution, London ; Dr. T. Richardson, technological ch e mist, Newcastle-on -Tyne, and Professor of Chemistry at Durham University; and Mr. J, Scott Russell, C.E., were then examined, and gave evidence confirming that of Dr. Miller. The coroner said that the public must feel that everything possible had been done to investigate the cause of the explo sion, and that Messrs Prentice had done al'. in their power to throw light on the matter. The evidence of the scientific men was that the explosion was produced by the knife coming in contact with the copper wire or with a piece of grit ; but they all inclined to the opinion that it was with the wire and not with the grit. He did not know that they were called upon to decide which of the two it was, so long as they were satisfied it was accidental ; and it was clear that if the rules now arranged were attended to there would be no danger of an explo don in future. After a consultation of about three quarters of an hour the jury found "That the said Elizabeth Barnard died on the 29th day of May last from injuries received by her clothes having been accidentally set fire to by an explosion at Messrs Prentice and Co.'s gun-cotton factory on the 24th day of May last. The jury wish to state that they are entirely satisfied with the manner in which the recommendation for a scientific inquiry has been carried out," IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Day.

LONDON GAZETTE.—Last Evening, FOREIGN OFFICE, JUNE 7. Eari Russell, Is G., her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has received the following De spatch from the Honourable Charles Augustus Murray, C.B , her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at Dresden:— Dresden, June 2, 1864. My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your Lordship that great and continually recurring inconvenience is expe rienced at this mission from the number of travellers claiming (I do not say falsely) to be Britieh subjects, who apply here for passports, but who are entirely unprovided with any proof whatever of their nationality, beyond their own assertion. This is, I believe, chiefly caused by an idea prevalent in England, that in Germany generally, but at any rate in Saxony, passports are not required. This is true, so far as relates to passing through the country; but the police re gulations prohibit any residence, or even a short stay, in Dresden, unless a passport be deposited at the police office. Again, many travellers go to Austria via Dresden, and, if unprovided with passports, are invariably turned back at Bodenbach, the frontier station of Bohemia. They are then forced to return to Dresden, and apply to me for passports ; and frequently, having no proof whatever to offer that they are not Americans, or other than British subjects, are de tained here until the necessary proofs can be sent from England. ka the time is now approaching when the usual influx of British travellers may be expected, I would venture to sug gest to your Lordship that much inconvenience would bo spared to travellers, as well as to her INhjesty's missions, if the advisability, if not absolute necessity, of all persons providing themselves with passports before going to Ger-• many were made known to the public through the Foreign. office,--I have, &c., _ (Signed) CH.

The interview took place at his lordsh.p's residence in Piccadilly; and the object of the deputation we., to solicit his lordship to support the second reading of Mr .awson's and Mr Bazley's Intoxicating Liquors Bill in the Zouse of Commons to-day. The de. putation was headed by Lxd Calthorpe, and consisted Of 51 gentlemen, including Messrs B. Whitworth, 'l'. Clegg, Councillor Thompson, 11. B. AddiNn, S. Pope, J. H. Raper and T. H. Barker, of Manchester; 17. Saunders, of Ply mouth; J. Guest, of Rotherham ; G. Tatham, of Leeds ; W. H. Higginbottom, of Bolton; W. iloyls, of Bury; Edward Whitwell, of Kendal ; W. J. Clegg and Joseph Pearson, of Sheffield ; W. Campbell, H. Dyson, and G. Ward, of Leeds; the Revs. the Hon. Leland Noel, Canon jenkins, W. N. Molesworth, of Rochdale; Dr. Burns, Dawson Burns, J. S. Workman, and S. Schadhorst ; Pro• fessor Newman, and several gentlemen connected with the metropolis. Having been introduced by Lord Calthorpe, whom Lord Palmerston recognised and shook heartily by the hand, Mr Pope stated the object of the deputation, and presented to his lordship a memorial representing that there was a strong feeling against the present licensing system, and a prevalent conviction that strong drink was an ex ceptional article of trade, that many landowners had stopped the sale of it on their estates ; and that agitation had proved that the people were prepared for the Intoxicating Liquors Bill, which the memorialists prayed Lord Palmerston and the Government to support. Mr Pope was followed by the Rev. W. N. Molesworth, who spoke for the manufac turing districts; Mr Saunders, of Plymouth; Mr Tatham, of Leeds ; Professor Newman, the Rev. H. Gale, and Mr. Raper. Lord Palmerston listened to all with marked at tention and evident interest, and elicited several pertinent explanations ; and on retiring the deputation thanked his his lordship for the courtesy and consideration which had been extended to them. A NICE STATE OF THINGS (according to " Man hattan"). —Look at our position truthfully, and you will see that I have described it. Thera are many of our citizens who have long foreseen the gloomy state of that which is about to come upon us. Look ut the gold market. Up, up—nearly at its highest point again. In vain the Government buys largely of exchange, and throws it upon the market at a losing price to keep down gold; it has no effect. Gold rises, or rather greenbacks are going down. All kinds pf merchandise is rising. Merchants refuse to sell goods at any price, and will not until the fight in Virginia between Grant and Lee is settled ono way or the other. This makes consumers and manufacturers anxious to buy. Shoes that cost in 1860 1 dol. sc. now sell for 5 dols. Boots made for 5 dols. now sell for 12 dole. It is so with every article that is sold. If this goes on few will be able to wear boots and shoes. We shall have to step into sabots as they do in Holland, though wood is so high that a pair of wooden shoes would cost about 3 dole. 50e. Everybody talks about the gloomy prospects. Men shake their heads and say, " What are we coming to?" Others see hope in the prospect so cheeringly and so constantly announced in the daily papers when Grant shall have captured Lee. But this has been so often repeated that it is an old story. Tens of thousands have left this city for the country —within 200 miles of New York—in order to live cheaper. Of these thousands are returning to get a foothold in the city. They find food higher in the interior than here. It is almost impossible to get board anywhere. Proprietors are afraid of the rise in articles. Everything is adulterated. Pow dered white sugar is unsafe to buy. A heavy white substance that sells cheap by the ton, is mixed with sugar, and sold for genuine, so that to use the article in tea or cc ffee, or in icecream, one i l f e liable to die by means of the mineral substancureleft in the stomach. Fortunes are still made in a street on paper. Tested by sterling bills or gold the profits fly off. The mining schemes and bubbles Aien swell out into magnificent proportions. without a dollar have become rich by mining stocks. All who are interested in the places of public amusement are getting rich Those pl aces are crowded every night. It seems as tho ug h our citizens throng to th em to drive away care, and I judge it is so, because the more foolish the amuse ment the larger the c rowd.

NOT DEAD YET. By J. C. Jeaffreson, Author of "Live it Down," &c. 3 vols.—" This is a very clever novel. There is a hearty pleasant tone throughout, and the interest is sustained from the very first to the vary last page. The characters are sketched with a masterly hand. Rupert Smith, 'the man about town.' plausible schemer, and thorough villain; Edward Smith, the artist, as pare and noble-minded a character as novelist ever depicted; Sir Frank - Starling, the hard unforgiving old baronet; Mr. Purfleet, the family solicitor ; John Harrison Newbolt, the Radical Boanerges of the House of Commons, who buys pictures as an investment, and thus becomes the patron of Edward ; his daughters Ida and Florence ; the rollicking demandsot hf v i l l a, e ( ) n e Il ee e ol r of close ehputowflosn::dsdviedaenray.

THE TULLIBODY BRIDGE MURDER CASE.—The trial of Thomas Arnot for the murder of a laid named David Paton on the Alloa road. near Tullibody Bridge, on March 15 last, took place on Monday before the High Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh. It was stated by the prisoner's counsel that he was insane and unable to give instructions for his defence, and that therefore ho was not a fit subject for trial. Evidence having been led as to the state of mind of the accused, the Court found that the case was beyond doubt one of present insanity, exempting the party from trial. Order for the strict custody of the accused in Alloa prison until her Majesty's pleasure should be known, was then made ; and Arnot, whore demeanour in court had been very stolid, was removed from the bar. 67 i
