CITY, TWELVE o'CLocx. Tkere is no alteration to report in the ueneral aspect of the money market to-day, the inquiry hcing steadily maintained, while the rates are un altered. The Brazilian mail steamer Parana, which left to day, conveyed £17,700 in specie. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week have not been quite so satisfac tory. Business at Manchester both in cloths and yarns have been exceedingly quiet and prices have shown a downward tendency. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, and Huddersfield continued seasonably active, and in the hosiery and lace departments at Leices ter and Nottingham there has been a steady business negotiated. In the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, there has been little change of impartance to re port. The Joint Stock Discount Company has been announced, with a capital of £1,000,000, which is to be raised by shares of £2O each. The under taking has been in contemplation for some time, and is now brought forward under the auspices of a very influential board of directors, and with satis factory negotiations concluded for the d urchase of the old established business of Mr. J F. Wilkinson, whose services the company will retain as its mana ger. This new monetary establishment wi.l con sequently be enabled to commence operations forth with, and with no mean prospects of future success. The brokers to the company are Messrs. Hill, Faw cett, and Hill. The shares are already quoted 11 2 prem. The following remarks upon the silk trade are from Messrs. Durant and Co.'s circular : --4. We have a comparatively quiet market in silk—not a /natter of surprise, seeing the very large business in the first three weeks of the year—still all goes fairly well, except that the high range of prices renders the chance of profit to manufacturers more than questionable. The only feature of the last fortnight has been the continued disposition to take Japan silk ; all that has come forward has been ta'en freely at full rates. Another vessel is now about to unload with 1,200 bales. fnis class con tinues to hold its ground in popular favour, and is most welcome at a time when the supply of China silk threatens to be comparatively small, and when the the quality and size are becoming less and less favourable. The deliveries of the month were very large,and prices generally are fairly supported. In Bengal silk there is nothing worth especial notice. merely the usual moderate business. Persian silk continues in fair demand. The usual periodical public sales are fixed to commence on the 18th instant." Two O'CLOCK. Paris Rentes were at 12.45 this day (says Reuter's telegram) 70f. 40c. to 70f. 50c.—rather firm. Only a small amount of business has been nego tiated in the English Stock Market to-day, and it has not produced any change in the quotations, Consuls being 922 s for transfer, and 921 1 for the account. The New Three per Cents. and the Re duced are steady at 921 ; Exchequer Bills are 3 s. pm.; Bank Stock is 238; India 5 per Cent. Loan remains at 1081. In the Foreign Market a heavy tone has pre vailed, and business has been rather restricted. Greek Bluds have been dealt in at 192, but are now 19 201, and the Coupons I; Spanish Passive have declined to 26k 1, and the Certificates to 91 10, owing to the intelligence of the suspension of the Cortes and the probability of its dissolution. Turkish Securities are well supported, and Egyptian and Peruvian are tolerably steady. A firmer tone has prevailed in the Railway Share Market, and most of the principal. British undert kings have realised slightly enhanced prices. South Easterns improved £:1 to £1 55.; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, £1 ; South Westerns and West Midlands, 10s.; and North E astern (Ber wick), ss. Great Eastern, Great Northerns, and South Westerns, however, have declined ss. In the Foreign and Colonial markets there bas been no material variation as regards prices. Bahia and San Francisco remained steady at 287 4 ; South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian at ,231; Great L uxembourg at 151 152 ; East Indian at 1062 a; and Grand Trunk of Canada at 211 1, Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares exhi bited little change of importance; London and Westminster being dealt in at 77s to 771 ; London and County at 391 to 40; Ottoman Bank at 382 39 ; Berlin Water Works at it ; and Peel River Land declined to 49. --- Bank stBocRkITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. 3per Cent.

The subject is taken from the times of Alexan der Medicis ; and the history of its composition is one of many proofs of the rapid genius of its author. On Mon day, Madame Ristori was with him arranging the plan of the piece, and on the following Saturday morning it was arranged leo p a tra' and 'Marie. Saturday completed. M.

A singular discovery has just been made in the commune of Saint Germ:id-le-Puy (Allier). A farme r in digging a field came upon a large flat stone, which on being removed was found to have covered a circular pit, nearly two feet in diameter. •A young man furnished with a lamp having descended discovered at a depth of about tea feet from the ground a round chamber, at one end of which was a narrow opening, similar to that by which he had descended. Finding that his lamp burnt freely, and feeling no difficulty in breathing, the young ram continued his researches, and having traversed the narrow opening found himself in a passage about three feet Wide and six high, which branched off to the right and left, and after forming a circuit joined again at a distance of about 12 yards. No one can say what was the use of these sabterranear. passages. In one of them the ground has a hollow sound, which gives rise to the supposition that there are other exoavaticns below' iOno SHARE bIARKETS—This Day. ORDTNARY SHARES AND 5T0e15,5. Share .

MARKETS--This Day, MARK LANE. The country markets held on Saturday ware dull for wheat, and the value of inferior produced ruled in favour of buyers. Malting barley was in demand at extreme rates ; but oats, beans, and peas moved off slowly on former terms In flour a very moderate business was transactd, yet no change took place in prices. On the Continent, the demand for wheat for export is extremely moderate. At New York, however. the trade for wheat and flour continues firm, and the quotations have an upward tendency. The arrivals of English wheat up to our market last week were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 6,028 quarters of wheat, 7,156 barley, 6,922 oats, 2,879 beans, 1,485 tares, 5,240 linseed, 3,820 rapeseed, 4,444 maize, 90 sundry, 585 sacks, and 11,661 barrels of flour. A very moderate supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market; the condition of the produce, however, exhibited a slight improvement. For dry samples there was a steady demand, and last Monday's quotations were well supported; otherwise, the trade was in a sluggish state, but without leading to any material change in the currencies. A portion of the supply re mained unsold at the close of business. There was a moderate supply of foreign wheat on the stands, for the most part ex-granary. In all descriptions a limited business was transacted, yet prices ruled firm, and without quotable alteration from Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request, at full quotations. The market was scantily supplied with both English and foreign barley. Malting qualities were in request, and prices had an upward tendency. Grinding and distilling sorts ruled firm, and their value was well supported. We have to notice a heavy trade for malt at previous quotations. The tupply of oats was very small. Owing to their bad quality, buyers held aloof from making sales, and the trade was in a sluggish state at barely late rates. Sweet English and Scotch produce, however, commanded previous quotations. The supply of beans was less extensive, and all qualities ehanged hand' at full currrencies. The trade for peas was firm, and late prices were well maintained. For all kinds of flour the inquiry was restricted to imme diate requirements on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASITEB.

There was a fair average supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market, in middling condition. Sales progressed slowly, at about last week's currency. . . _ The arriva's of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, were moderately good, both as to number and quality. From Ireland, however, the receipts were trifling, and in middling condition. The attendance of both town and country buyers was small, and the demand for all breeds of beasts ruled inactive, never theless last Monday's prices were supported. The beat Scots, and crosses sold at 4s 10d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,000 Scots, short horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 420 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers. Although the supply of sheep was limited, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, nevertheless the quotations were firmly supported, the best Downs having sold at 6d per 81bs. The recent decline of 2d in the value of skins had no influence upon the trade—shorn half-breeds and crosses realised 5s per Sibs. The few lambs on sale changed hands slowly, at from 6s 8d to 7s 4d per Sibs. The veal trade was firm, at an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. Prices ranged from 4s 4d to 6s 6d per Sibs. We have to report a slow sale for pigs, at late rates—viz., from 3s 8d to 4s 8d per Fibs. Per 81b, to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

CREATING A DISTURBANCE AND ASSAULTING AN OFFICER AT A RAILWAY STATION.—John Lunn and William Williams, two young men, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with creating a disturbance at the Portland road station of the Metropolitan Railway, and Lunn was was further charged with assaulting Wright, 82 E. Albert Foster, ticket collector at the Portland-road sta tion of the Metropolitan Railway said that at ten minutes to it the previous night the two prisoners came up to him with tickets for the Farringdon-street station, and because there was no room in three trains they became very abusive and made use of foul language. He told the prisoners if they would leave the platform and go to the office they would have their money returned, but this they refused to do. He then told the police officer to put them out of the station, as there were no moro trains th a t n i g h t, an d w hil e assisting the officer Lunn tried to strike him. 'Wright, 82 E, said that the prisoners refused to give up their tickets, or to leave, and on the last witness saying that if they would not go he must give them in char ge , h e (Wright) put them out, thinkin g they w ou ld go away quietly, when Lunn struck him ablow on the ch ee k, an d tried to get Williams away from him. Lunn said they took tickets for the Farringdon-street Station, and waited and saw three trains go in which th ere was no room, and were told that there was no mor e t ra i ns that night. His companion (Williams) had b een d r i n ki ng, and the officer pulled him first one way and then the other. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a very stupid aff a i r on th e part of the prisoners. It was quite clear that, if th e company had not got room in their trains, they could not take them. The railway authorities were glad to take passengers if they could, and nothing could be more fair en their part than the offer to return the money. He should discharge Williams, but fine Lunn ss, "WESTMINSTER. PROFESSIONAL BEGGARS —A stout, hearty-looking fellow, who gave the name of William Jones, was charged with placing himssdf in a position to solicit alms in Lower Grp svenor-place. Defendant's appearance was that of the well• practised professional beggar, to a most desponding look he added the advantages of being barefooted and coatless. Peter Smith, 163 B, said—At a quarter to four yester day afternoon, I saw the prisoner sitting on the steps of a door in Lower Grosvenor.place, dressed as ho is now, and shivering and shaking to attract the attention of the passers by. Several persons came up and gave him half pence. Witness took him into custody. _ _ Mr. Arnold—What was found upon him ? Witness—One and sixpence h ilfpenny in coppers. Mr. Arnold ,to prisoner)—What have you to say to this? Prisoner—l was in distress. Mr. Arnold—Why don't you apply to the workhou se ? Prisoner—l have, but they won't admit me. I was re fused. Mr. Arnold—When did you last apply ? Prisoner—Well I have not applied since last winter. Smith—He was taken to the workhouse, but was there only a short time ; he would not stop. Prisoner—Tho Board of Guardians turned me out of St. Margaret's workhouse. Mr. Arnold—You said just nov' that they would not admit you Supposing it to be true that they turned you out they naturally considered that a strong, hearty man like you ought to work for his living. _ _ Smith—He does—every week begging. When I had him before last March he had 3s. on him, and admitted he had only been out an hour. You let him off then upon his promise to go out of the country. Mr. Arnold (to the accused)—You had no reason to have remained shivering and shaking on Grosvenor-place with money about you to procure warmth and food. You are committed for ten days. Smith—What is to become of the money found upon him ? Mr. Arnold—Let it go towards his maintenance in prison. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF FRAUD._Joseph Davis, aged 25 years, rivetter, Isaiah Rosser, 24, rivetter, and Charles Seeger, 37, assistant storekeeper, were charged with fraudently obtaining various sums of money with intent to cheat and defraud Messrs. Westwood, Burley, Campbell, and Company, iron shipbuilders and engineers, of London-yard, Millwall, Poplar. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, defended Davis and Rosser. Mr. Charles Young, in opening the case for the prosecu tion, said it wanted to be well looked into, and that he only intended to offer sufficient evidence to justify a remand. The fraud charged against the prisoners was effected in this way. Mr. John Hawkins, a storekeeper in the service of the prosecutors, made entries in his book of the quantity of rivets manufactured by Davis and Rosser, and the cashier of the firm paid the prisoners according to the ac count as it appeared in the storekeeper's book. It had been lat Ely discovered that, after the proper entries were made, the figures had been altered, and in many instances a 1 was converted into a 2, These alterations were made by the assistant storekeeper, the other prisoners were paid for the excess, and all three shared the money thus fraudulently obtained. Mr. Hawkins was called and said his book had been tam. pered with and the figures altered. He made up the sum ow;ng from the altered figures. He kept an account of all the rivets brought in by Davis and Rosser, and generally weighed them himself. He then pointed out several entries in his book where a 1 had been altered to a 2. In cross-examination by Mr. Smith, the witness said ha had once made a mistake in a figure himself, but he can celled it again, when he discovered the error. It was not from distinct recollection of particular days, but from the general appearance of tbs book that he was enabled to say figures had been altered. Mr, Alfred White, pay clerk to the prosecutors, deposed to the payment of various sums of money to Davis for himself end two others, for iron rails, bolts, and nuts, ac cording to the account rendered by Mr. Hawkins. Mr. William Smith, confidential clerk to the prosecutors, said that in a conversation with Mr. Westwood, the head of the firm, Seager was asked if 'he alterations in the book were made by him, to which he replied they may be. I have been led astray. Seager was then asked how many figures he had altered, and he answered, I cannot say. Seager was asked how much money he had received as his share of the plunder, and his reply was, I think about a sovereign. I can't say exactly; a few shillings now and then. Seager vlso made an acknowledgment of his error, and said, I hope you will be lenient with me. After some further evidence, the prisoners were remanded, and Mr: Selfe said he would accept of bail for Davis and Rosser, one surety in the sum of £6O for each, or two of £25. S'eager's bail must be in double that amount. AMERICAN OPINION.—A gentleman of Toronto, a member of the medical profession, who has been with the Federal army before Fredericksburg, in giving an account of his return says—" All along the road, every where, I have found the greatest depression resting upon the American people in consequence of the continued want of success which has attended the Federal arms. Every body expresses himself freely ab)utit, and I have been time a fter time invited to express my views f ree ly as a C ana di an, It seems to me very clew ly that they are wanting light— that is to say, they seek for others' opinion in the hope that the mystery, for such it seems to them, may be solved. • • • The Democ ra t s h esitate not to say— , If Lincoln cannot subdue the South, rather than have two nations, we will take Jeff. Davis and save the Union.' This feeling, in Philadelphia and New York is very strong." This gentleman speaks favourably of th e waohi,gtonitos pitals. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE CITY BETTING—THIS DAY.

(From the New York Journal of Commerce) Sometimes a scene of exultation and rejoicing becomes, by reason of its surroundings, or its ascertained folly, a comedy, or even a farce, and sometimes a scene of sorrow, by the same or similar influences, is changed into a tempest of joy. But when exultation is changed to silence because a supposed cause of joy ie in reality a cause of grief, then the scene is not famical, but mournful, and there is no provocation to laughter. It is thus impossible to laugh at the exhibition which the Abolitionists have been making over the issue of the President's proclamation; for, while they made the air ring with their shouts of ap parent delight, and filled the country with the rejoicings they have been making in what they call a jubilee, their rejoicings have already become forced and unnatural; they give sad evidence that they have no confidence in the result they profess to accept as accomplished, and all the while there is going up above their shouts a moan of anguish that drowns the voice of exultation. All the land mourns over the brave dead, all the land mourns over the bathe-field, and over the fields of blood yet to be fought, so that there is no joy in the country. The freed men, or those who have by the actual presence of tho army obtained their nominal freedom, are starving and dying on the shores of our great rivers, while the millions of slaves, if they had any feel ing on the subject whatever, would but lament that the labours of the Northern Abolitionists have in all probability postponed their actual freedom for nearly a hundred years. Alas I for the poor slave who has been the subject of polit:cal brokerage, the passive instrument of demagogues in gaining votes and power, but who himself is freed only for starvation, or condemned to more hopeless bondage I For us, and for all who sincerely desire the good of the black race, it is impossible to find any hope of such good in the present condition of things. On the contrary, the doom of the black man, whether slave or freeman, seems to be made darker than ever and the jubilee which fanatics are celebrating is too horribly mournful to be laughed at. From all parts of the land we hear that the blackmen who have been freed are perishing. Government is dealing out its clothing and rations to keep them from actual death, but still they die, in the prime of life, in the strength of their years, actually frozen or starved in this land of abundance. Accounts from Cairo say that no one can imagine what they are collected there for, unless it be to fill up the low lands with their bodies, as they are now doing by hun dreds, week after week. The reports from the Virginian frontier are of the same character; and as to the slaves wilhin the lines of the rebellion, the entire radical press, without an exception, we believe, publishes the confession that the proclamation of freedom has failed, and has fallen from the character of a weapon to the mere value of a poli c y on paper, which must be carried out if possible by force of arms in a long war. Instead of freeing slaves, the procla mation is but another vast work superadded to the former work of suppressing the rebellion, and rendering the latter more difficult than ever. No one that we now hear argue on the subject pretends that the proclamation has the force of law or can outlast the time of existing hostilities. The sincere and misguided Abolitionists, who were so weak as to have faith in the measure, are now lamenting their disappointment, while the insincere and malevolent, who, as if enemies of the human race, desire the destruction of both black and white teen, North and South, so they can only accomplish the designs of vengeance against Southern slave holders, are now madly crying for servile war and the hor rors of slave insurrection. They still have a lingering hope that they may hear the!wails of Southern mothers and daugh ters in the grasp of the black men, and no sound would so rejoice their hearts. Surely all this is a picture of too ghastly a character to be long permitted! We are not given to pro phesying the vengeance of God, for He deals His own ven geance, consulting no man. But that this state of affairs provokes His curse instead of His blessing who can doubt ? Whether He will turn the hearts of these people, and restore mercy, and justice, and civilization, and humanity to their souls, or whether Ho will permit them to continue the work of ruin to themselves and their country, no man tan tell. Enough for us that we labour to reform those our erring countrymen who are relapsing into barbarism, while the truest cause for rejoicing that the hour affordsis in the mea sure of success that has attended our efforts and the good prospect that the crisis is past and the nation is becoming wiser and better. In the future of wisdom and sound sense there is hope that w e ma y y e t d o something for the Hack man which will save him from the hopeless slaveryor ex termination to which the Abolitionists would doom him.

N ear ly 20,000 TIBER. Fearful Railway Accident—This Day. At a few minutes before six this morning a very serious accident happened at the Bow extension of the Blackwall Railway, which, in addition to causing a largo destruction of property, completely put a stop for some time to all the trains on the North London, Barking, Tilbury, and Southend, North Woolwich, and the Woodford Railway. It appears that a very heavy goods train was on its way frepa Camden Town to liaydon-square, and when it reached a point some 300 or 400 yards from Bow-common one of the centre trucks left the metals. The train was going at this moment at a very rapid rate, and the result of the mishap to the truck was that a number of others got into the same unfortunate position, and, as the couplings held, the (train was drawn along in dreadful confusion. Near to Stepney Junction the trucks came in contact with the coping of the wall of the railway, and a large quantity of the brickwork was knocked to the ground. The engine driver, as soon as he felt the extra strain or drag, did all he could to bring the train to a stoppage,but as the goods engines employed by the London and North Western are of great power, some distance had been traversed ere the trucks which had left the rails had become de tached from the portion of the train in front. A scene of the most indescribable confusion and wreck then presented itself. Some of the trucks were toppled over and crushed and overhanging the parapet and the line, and the road beneath were scattered with the contents of the waggons—flour and other merchandise. The permanent way was torn up in sad havoc, a heavy piece of brickwork at the Bow Common-bridge, where a line of rails runs in, had been shivered by one of the trucks which had dashed against it. In another part of the coping a couple of truck-wheels, with the axle entire, had been forced through the brick-work of the:wall, and fell into the road beneath. A great number of hands were immediately despatched from the London terminus, and through their greatest exer tions the line was cleared for ordinary traffic.' SHIPPING—This Day.

Of this quantity the London and North-Western tonnage was 67,334 tons 2cwt; Great Northern, 38,371 tons 14cwt ; Midland, 27,703 tons; Great Eastern, 15,546 tons 3cwt; Great Western, 14,421 tons; South-Western, 1,204 tons 2cwt; Chatham and Dover, 432 tons lcwt ; and Tilbury and Southend, 92 tons. Coast wise the tonnage is 273,419 tons, against 233,020 tons in the first month of 1862. The supplies are registered as 88,903 tons from Newcastle, 87,729 tons from Sunderland, 53,873 tons from Hartlepool and West Hartlepool, 18,854 tons from Seaham, :5,347 tons from Middlesborough, 2,170 tons from Blyth, 2,297 tons from Scotland, 5,907 tons from Wales, 5,403 tons from Yorkshire, and 2,938 tons of small coal and cinders. The arrivals by canal are 808 tons 15cwt, as com pared with 733 tons in the month of January last year. The total arrivals entered from all sources in the month of January past was 443,337 tons 17cwt, or 64,314 tons 17cwt more than arrived in January, 1562. This increased ton nage shows a bettor feeling in the coal-market. EXCEEDINGLY GOOD.—A poor old deaf man, re siding in a Fifeshire villlige, was visited one day by the parish clergyman, who had recently taken a resolu tion to ply such visits regularly to his parishioners, and therefore made a promise to the wife of this villager that he would call occasionally and pray with him. The minister, however, soon fell through this resolution, and did not pay another visit to the deaf man till three years after, when, happening to go through the alley in which the poor man lived, he found the wife at the door, and, therefore, could not avoid inquiring for her husband. " Weel, Mar garet," said the minister, " how is Thomas ?" "Nae the better o' you," was the rather curt answer. "How now, Margaret ?" inquired the minister. " Ou, ye promised twa years syne to ca' and pray once a fortnight wi' him, and ye never aince darkened the door sin syne." " Well, we l l, Margaret, don't be so short. I thought it was notnenc es : sary to call and pray with Thomas, for he's deaf, yeo u woman,kow and cannot hear me." " But, sir," rejoined " the Lord's no deaf." The indolent clergyman shrank back abashed from the cottage. hits li v ing in the lower S ING ING MICE.—A family wi its wood room of a house in Kees fionck treet have had for some e linnet, which, months past a remarkably drive dull care away during the t no tes wild, has helped to win e r day. Beneath the loft of the short but gloomy room above there h as been a nest or company of mice, which h ave also done the ir best to cheer the solitary occupants of the garret through the dreary watches of the ni g ht . W hen the i n mates retire to rest, and all is quiet, the mice join in concert, and sing in correct imitation of the linnet ; and, s t r ange enough, the moment the singing commences, one of the mice comes above board, gives "three skips on the floor," and then pays a visit to the cupboard close by; after which it makes the exit to fill the place in the band of some other hungry mousie, and so on till they have all had their turn at the cupboard, when they give a grand finale, and so ends the concert. The singing of the mice is an octave lower than that of the linnet; and were it not associated with the loss of bread and cheese, ono might prefer it to the solo of the feathered songster. There can be no doubt the concert is got up as a feint to attract attention from the noise made by the depredators ; but while they sing, they may steal, and welcome.—lnverness Courier.

ADAMS.---BREACH OF PROMISE. The further examination of witnesses in this case was resumed this morning. From the evidence given on Saturday it appeared that the plaintiff was twenty-five years of ego, and daughter of a surgeon in Dublin, who died twenty years ago, leaving a widow and the plaintiff, an only child. The mother was the daughter of Mr. Kent, for many years one of the exa miners of the College of Surgeons in Dublin, and surgeon on the staff of the Lord-Lieutenant. In consideration of her husband's services, the widow received a small pension from Dublin Castle. After the death of her husband the widow lived with her brother in Ireland until the family property became the subject of litigation. The mother had for some. years been employed as a teacher of music, and had been engaged by many families in England. The plaintiff was an accomplished young lady. In the year 1859 Mrs. Rus sell went to reside with a person of the name of Crump, who had recently lost his mother, and who had for many years been on the most friendly and intimate terms with the Russell's. Mrs. Russell superintended Mr. Crump's. establishment at Hornsey, and the mother and plaintiff in-. strutted his children, one of whom was lame. Mrs. Russell went to the Orthopredio Hospital, in Oxford street, with the child for advice, and she there learnt the name of the de- . fendant, who was a surgeon of eminence in Henrietta street, Cavendish-square, and also having a private resi dence at Hampstead. From August, 1859, the plaintiff fre quently visited the defendant, and in October, 1860, she in formed her mother that the defendant had promised her marriage; and on Nov. 2, 1860, the mother wrote to the de fendant a letter to that effect. On Nov. 7 Mrs. Russell visited the defendant, when he said he wished her to leave. Hornsey, adding that it had been arranged that he and the plaintiff should be married in about two months, and he , nrged her to take lodgings in London, near the hospital. Mrs. Russell said that was easier talked of than done, as the expenses would be serious to her; but he pressed her, auVaid the expense would not be worth talking about. In July the Russells were informed that the defendant was a married man. The defendant, in his defence, said he never promised to marry the plaintiff. ;The examination of witnesses for the defendant com menced this morning. Mrs. Rtusell's evidence went directly to show that the defendant made no secret of his attachment to her daughter. That the defendant always conducted himself as a single man. Mrs. Lama, a lady with whom the Russells lodged, who was examined for the plaintiff on Saturday, was re-called this morning, and having answered a few questions put to her by the counsel for the defendant, Dominico Galata, a photographer, residing at .7, Osna burg-street, Regent's-park, said the Russells came to lodge in the house in 1861. They gave the name of Mr. Adams as a reference. They were irregular in their payments. Mrs. Russell once asked him if he thought Mr. Adams was too old to marry her daughter. He heard that Mr. Adams was going to give Miss Russell a pianoforte. He had to give them notice to quit. His wife afterwards told him that Mr. Adams was a married man. Eliza Lock said sho was a niece of Mrs. Lama. She recollected Miss Russell telling her she was going to be married to Mr. Adams. lie used to call sometimes, and then he would remain 10 or 15 minutes. She did not recollect for certain his coming on more than on one even ing. On that occasion she showed him into the Russells' apartments, when he said, "How are you Miss Russell," or "my patient." She had seen Miss Russell write letters to Mr. Adams on a slate, which her daughter used to copy. She was very much astonished when she heard Mr. Adams say he was a married man. Cross •examined—Would not swear it might not have been half-an-hour that Mr. Adams remained. The Rus sells were very musical. One evening as she was in bed she heard Mr. Adams sing. She now recollected that on one occasion Mr. Adams said, " How is my dear patient." The Russells wrote frequently to Mi. Adams. She had spoken to Miss Russell about her wedding. She was not to have a new dress on that uccasion, but she was to receive a present. She was always very friendly with the Rus sell up to their leaving her aunt's house. Hannah Champ was in the service of Mrs. Lama in 1861. About three months after they came to lodge there she heard from her mistress that Miss Russell was about to bo married to Mr. Adams, He used to call on the Russells in the afternoon. She noticed two or three times a lady in the cab in which ho came. Miss Russell told her it was Mr. Adams's sister. She knew what courtship was. (Laughter.) Mr. Adams's conduct to Miss Russell was not like that of a gentleman going to be married. (Laughter.) On going into the room she had never seen Mr. Adams on the sofa beside Miss Russell. He always appeared to act as a medical man. She was certain on one °occasion she heard Mr. Adams, who was in conversatian with Mrs. Russell, say distinctly "my wife." Mrs. Russell afterwards told her that Mr. Adams had been teasing her, daughter about his wife. Mr. Adams never dined on the occasions of his visits. Cross-examined—She could not say how long it was be fore the Russells left her mistress's house that the con versation she had mentioned took place. When Miss Russell was at the piano Mr. Adams stood behind her chair. The Russells were quiet people when not asked for money. She had never seen them sprawling on the floor drunk. She had seen them drink unsweetened gin with soda water. By Sergeant Parry—Miss Russell said Dr. Adams had ordered her to drink the spirit. She had been out for brandy, but she-had never seen Miss Russell drink any of it. Mrs. Russell used to take it with soda water. Edward W. Sweetwood—ln March, 1862, he was coach man to Mr. Adams. In 1861 he recollected driving him to Osnaburgh-street. Mrs. Adams used frequently to go with his master in his rounds to his patients. Mrs. Adams has often been in the carriage while his master was visiting the Russells. Ho never stopped at the Russells' more than 20 minutes. No other lady but Mrs. Adams ever rode in the carriage. When he told his master he had to call in Osna burgh-street on the Russells, he replied, " Oh, they be d—d." (Laughter.) Cross-examined—He could not fix a date when the last observation was made, but it was the latter end of 1861. He drove to Osnaburgh-street after that. Mr. John Mackrill, a cousin to Mr. Adams, said he had known Mr. Adams for many years. His marriage took place on Aug. 21, 1847, and from that time he has always lived openly as a married man during the whole of the period he had known Mr. Adams. Ho had never had to settle any unpleasant business or intrigue that ho bad been engaged in. The case was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn. IN RE EUREETT.-ArrLICATION TO TRANSFER PROCEEDINGS PROM ONE COURT TO ANOTHER. Mr. Dubois applied in this case for the transfer of the proceedings, in the Bankruptcy side of the :Congleton County Court, in Cheshire, to the County Court for Derby, on the following grounds :—The plaintiff was an attorney and clerk to Mr. Latham, the clerk of the County Court of Congleton, and petitioned that Court in August last, and obtained his order of discharge. At that time a judg ment had been given against him, in a suit by a Miss Mary Anne Eliza Webster, for breach of promise of marriage. Miss 'Webster did not prove on that cccasion, as the costs had not been charged, but on that having been don', she issued a ca sa against the defendant, who filed a second petition in the Congleton Court, and Miss Webster proved for the debt and costs, appointed herself assignee, and passed a resolution to transfer the proceedings to Derby, where she resided. Congleton being 60 miles would fall and as there was no estate, all the expenses Lill upon her. Affidavits of facts were put in.

SILENCE BEFORE THE BATTLE OF THE ALMA. —The 20th of September on the Alma was like some remembered day of June in England, for the sun was unclouded, and the soft breeze of the morning g had lulled to the a breath at noontide, and was creeping faily hills. It was then that in the Allied armies there occurred general as to have a singular pause of sound —a p ause so been observed and remembered by many in remote parts of the ground, and su marked that its interruption by the mere neighing of an angry horse seized the attention of thousands; and although this strange silence was the mere result of weariness and chance, it seemed to carry a mean ing, for it was now that after near 40 years of peace the great nations of Europe were once more meeting for battle. —Ainglake's Crimea.
