MONEY MARKET AND COMIVIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK: ANOTHER RISE IN THE RATE OF DISCO UN I'. The directors of the Bank of England have this day raised their rate of discount from 7 to 8 per cent. This movement has not occasioned the sur prise it would had the Stock Exchange been open and speculation making its usual progress. In the discount market, however, the event has created some excitement, and affairs are in a very unsettled condition. There is a close holiday to-day at the Stock Exchange, the transfer office of the Bank of Eng• land being shut to admit of the half-yearly balance of the accounts. ' The Magdalena for Lisbon takes out in specie £12,200. The Tartar has arrived from the same place with only £2OO. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of Hindustan, China, and Japan was held today, and a dividend of 15s per share recom mended, being at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. The accounts from the various manufacturing districts for the past week represent that business at 'Manchester has been active, enhanced prices having been current for both cloths and yarns. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders field there has been an increased demand for light summer fabrics, while the operatives in the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham are fully employed. In the hardware districts of :Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton symp toms of improvement have also been apparent in that department. The directors of the St. John del Rey Mining Company (Limited) have received, by telegram from Lisbon, the following report, dated Morro Velho, March, 1864:—Produce 11 days of March, 10,871 oitavas ; yield, 5512 oitavas per ton; remit tance, 64,512 oitavas ; general operations going on Elteadily.

Since Tuesday our market has advanced day by day, •and large sales have been made at higher prices. Today we have had a very active market, and most yarns are Id. to id. per lb. higher than on Tuesday, many spinners refusing to sell even at this advance. The demand has been general for all markets, and we close with a strong and buoyant feeling, and with many spinners deeply under contract: In home trade yarns, also, there has been more business doing, notwithstanding the tendency which higher prices have to put some check upon operations. Manu facturers as well as shippers are more disposed to buy, and for home trade yarns prices are about Id. per lb. dearer than on Tuesday, for all counts. There is an improvement to some extent in cloth, but it has not kept pace either as to activity or price with the cotton and yarn markets. From Tuesday to last night the market for cloth was generally rather quiet. Sellers could easily have made sales, it is true, at last week's rates, but the large purchases of cotton made at Liverpool had been an inducement to manufacturers to seek an improvement in price, and this was an effectual check on business. To-day we have had more activity. Advices from Bombay (April 14) reporting shirtings lid. to 21d. higher, and from Calcutta (April 12 and 13) reporting an increased demand, with 40's mule twist lid. per lb. and shirtings 4d. to 70, per piece higher, and with letters speaking very favourably of the pros. pects of trade, have had an immediate and cheering effect on this market. We have had an inquiry for India cloths almost approaching to excitement. The advance which manufacturers are disposed to put on goods has, to some extent, checked opera tions, but Still a fair (some say a large) amount of business has been done in goods suitable to India and China at a slight advance on Tuesday's prices. There has been also more disposition to buy for other markets, but it is checked by the rise in prices.

MARK-LANE. In the country markets, held on Saturday, millers con fined their purchases in wheat to the supply of their im mediate wants, and the transactions were, for the most part, at prices without material variation from the previous week. Barley was dull, and the quotations had a down ward tendency, Other articles moved off slowly, on former terms. On the Continent the corn trade is dull; but from New York a fair amount of produce' has recently been shipped on Unglish account. The receipts of English produce at Mark-lane last week were moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 17,667 quarters of wheat, 1,459 barley, 42,239 oats, 21 beans, 1,400 peas, 137 tares, 2,014 linseed, 4,339 oilseeds, 115 maize, and 110 sacks of flour. Only a moderate supply of English wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day, but the bulk of the samples came to hand in good saleable condition. The trade opened with firmness, and factors held both Kent and Essex pro duce at an advance, compared with Monday last, of is per quarter. Sales, however, progressed slowly. Occasionally is per quarter more money was realised, but the transac tions were for the most part :at the full prices of this day se'nnight. A total clearance had not been effected at the close of business. With foreign wheat, the market was but moderately sup plied. Both American and continental descriptions were held at enhanced rates; bat holders did not succeed in ob taining any material advance in prices from Monday last. The quotations, however, were quite as high as on that day and at those rates a fair business was transacted. Floating cargoes of wheat ruled firm, at full currencies. Spring corn, afloat, supported previous rates. The supply of barley on offer was but moderate. Malting descriptions commanded very little attention, even at the late decline in the quotations. F,,r grinding and distilling qualities the demand ruled inactive on former terms. There was a largo supply of oats on the stands, and the trade was in a sluggish state at barely late rates. Bans, notwithstanding that the show of samples was limited, met a slaw sale, and previous quotations were with difficulty iwyp',rted. The inquiry for peas was by no means active, yet prices ruled stationary. The flour trade ruled quiet, and the value both of English and foreign descriptions was unaltered from Monday last.

Sales pro gressed slowly, at about previous currencies. The arivals of boasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts, as well as from Scotland, were seasonably good, and in prime condition. From Ireland the receipts were limited. Nearly all breeds met a slow inquiry, at last Monday's quotations—the general top figure for beef being 4s 10d per Sibs; consequently, the advance on Thursday was lost. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we receivod 2,120 Scots, crosses, and shorthorns ; from other parts of England 700 various breeds ; from Scotland, 384 Scots and crosses ; and, from Ireland, 120 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep was on the increase, and most breeds came to hand in good condition. On the whole, the mutton trade was firm, at an improvement in the quotations com pared with this day sen'night of 2d per 81bs. Downs, out of the wool, sold at 4s to 5s per 81bs. Our quotations now refer solely to shorn sheep. Lambs ware in moderate supply, and sluggish request, at from Gs 4d to 7s 4d per Blbs. About 700 came to hand from the Isle of Wight.

Sir Thomas Judkin Fitzgerald, the descendant of a man unhappily notorious in 1798, committed suicide on Tuesday night last by throwing himself into the river Suir, near his own residence, Golden Hills. It appears that he was severely pressed by pecuniary difficulties. He had been in Dublin the greater part of the previous week, it is supposed with the object of effecting an arrangement with some of his creditors. There he was met by several of his friends, who found him in his usual health and spirits. He returned home, and was in Cionmel on Monday. It appears that there was an execution then in his house for a debt of £3OO, and the bailiffs were in possession. He made a last effort to raise this amount on Monday morning, but his solicitor failed to accomplish it, owing to the heavy liabilities under which he laboured. He went home by the train on Tuesday afternoon, having left a letter with his solicitor stating that he should shortly be no more, and indicating where his body would le found. This gentleman immediately communicated with the office of the constabulary, and a telegram was at once sent with imperative orders for the in stant arrest of Sir Thomas Fitzgerald. But the precaution was, unfortunately, too late. He wrote similar letters to other friends, and among them was the following to Mr John Massy, justice of the peace : "Dublin, April 26, 1864. "My dear Massy,—l have a last request to make of you, and that is that you will on receipt of this go over to Golden Hills and see poor Lady Fitzgerald, my dearly be loved wife, for before you get this I will be no more. God have mercy upon me and my poor family. . . I ask this as a dying request, that you will go at once on re ceipt of this and see what is best to be done. . . , Igo down to-night cn purpose to see my poor wife and family for the last time, and then my body will be found in the weir at that part called the Pig-hole, near Golden Hills. . . . . I again ask you, as a favour, not to desert my family till things are set to rights for them. It is the dying request of your friend, " TuomAs J. FITZGERALD." There was also a letter to Mr. Edmond Dalton, of which the following is a copy:— "Dublin, April 26, 1864. " Dear Ned,-1 am going to ask a favour of you, and that is that you will get Mrs. Dalton to break the sad news of my death to poor Lady Fitzgerald. Igo down this evening, and my poor body will be found in the Suir at Pig-hole, where all the salmon aro taken, near where the white thorn stump is that was lately cut. The Lord have mercy on me and my poor family I "Yours truly, " THOMAS J. FITZGERALD." From the evidence given by his coachman and butler at the inquest held yesterday by Dr. Mor rissy, coroner of the district, we learn what occurred in pursuance of these letters. Sir Thomas arrived from Dublin at the Goold•cross station at 11 30 p.m. on Tuesday night. He drove the car himself very carefully. He was unusually silent, and seemed rather angry, as if he was disappointed about some thing ; but otherwise in his ordinary state of mind. He reached Golden-hills about half-past 12 o'clock, The family bad retired to rest, except the butler, who waited up for his master. He first went up stairs, it was supposed to Lady Fitzgerald's room. In about 10 minutes he returned and took some tea. Some time after he went to the parlour door and said, " Michael, come and take away the things," While the butler was doing as he was directed, his master went into his study. He again wont up stairs, but shortly after the same servant heard him unbar the hall door and go out. He had taken no wine or spirits, and used never to take any. The servant, taking no notice of his going out, as he sometimes had occasion to do so, went to bed. After about an heti'. Lady Fitzgerald tapped at his door and said, "Michael, get up, Sir Thomas is gone out somewhere and he has not returned. You had better go out towards the shrubbery and see what is the matter. I fear he has got a weakness." The butler then went to the shrubbery, and not finding his master, Lady Fitzgerald became alarmed, and a second search, with a lantern, was made about the grounds in vain. At daylight the coachman was called, and when the search was about to be renewed Lady Fitzgerald came to Bourke, the butler, and said, " Michael, come here, I must have been stupid that I did not find this letter before now." She had a letter in her hand, which she said she had found on a stand at the side of the bed where her husband used to lie. She read a part of it. He inferred from it that all was over with Sir Thomas. He and Rourke, the coachman, then hurried out and searched all the grounds. At length they found his hat and coat on the bank of the river near the spot which the deceased had himself indicated. They hastened with this infor mation to Lady Fitzgerald, the police were sent for, and about 200 yards further down the body was found in the shallow water. Life was extinct. The Hon. Martin French, R. 11.1., of Cashel, arrived early in the day, with Dr. Kennedy, of Tipperary, who examined the body, and found it without any marks of external violence. As Sir Thomas was a re markably good swimmer it is supposed he must have taken some drug to prevent the failure of his attempt at self-destruction. The inquiry had not concluded when the last account left. The inquiry into the loss of the City of New York, which commenced on Friday, and wan ad journed without any evidence being taken, was re• sumed yesterday. John M'Cartney, chief officer of the wrecked vessel, deposed that he had served during the last five years on board the City of New York, that she left New York on the 19th of March, with a general cargo—mostly provisions. She carried 161 passengers. Everything was in good order when starting, and she had a crew of IU6, including the captain. They had a fast and prosperous voyage till they reached the Irish coast ; when they passed the Old Head they slackened speed to 10 knots. The wind was about N.N.W., squally. It was clear moonlight, with heavy clouds occasionally passing. There were two hands upon the forecastle head, and one man between them to pass the word along, and one at the telegraph to pass the word into the engine-room if required, witness at the same time being on the upper bridge, keeping a sharp look-out with his telescope for the buoy on Daunt's Rock, or anything else. It was the practice to go through the Channel day and night, except when there was a dense fog ; then they took the course east of the Rock, making it by the lights on the Old Head, Ballycotton, and Roche's Point, when they could see them. They were within a quarter to half a mile of Robert's :Head—a bluff headland, with deep . water up to the rocks, which a ship could almost shave. At 230 the captain was on the bridge, and had been on deck the who of the witness's watch, except about ten Minutes, when he went to change his wet clothes. Witness was still looking 'out for the buoy, when the ship struck hard on Daunt's Rock at 2 45 a.m. The buoy was afterwards seen at 130 yards' distance. They did not always see the buoy in passing. They made signals, but no assistance came till 4 o'clock, when the company's tender came along side. They got no assistance from the Coastguard station. About 8 o'clock the Magpie and Advice and the Cunard tender came alongside. The ship had eight boats on deck, which were at once put into requisition. They were all in good order, and quite sufficient to carry off the passengers. Captain Kennedy exerted himself to the utmost, giving orders quite coolly, and using every possible precaution. John Holden Cleaver, the third officer, James Allen, a seaman, and David Fitzgerald, a quarter master, gave evidence to the same effect. Alexander Taylor, chief engineer, described what he had done to diminish the ship's speed. When he heard her strike he thought it was a collision with another vessel. Water came in immediately and pat out the fires. Mr. William Taylor, chief officer of the Coastguard, deposed that he saw the signals, bat regarded them as only the usual signals of the vessels approaching the harbour. It was quite an ordinary thing to sail inside the Rcck day and night. A shadow from the clouds and headland might prevent persons on board seeing the buoye Mr. O'Dowd, who car ducted the inquiry for the Board of Traci?, said that this was all the evidence he had to produce, The Londonderry Journal of this morning states that ono of Lord Leitrim's bailiffs has been shot, and that Peter Griffin has been arrested for firing the shot, which took effect in the bailiff's thigh. It is 491 InQyfn whether the wound is dangerous. An other account states that it was a son of the bailiff a lad about 15, that was struck by a shot fired into the house, which shattered the bone, rendering am putation necessary. The outrage occurred about 10 miles from the village of Milford, county Donegal. SECOND EDITION. bUti OFFICE, HALF -PAST 4 o'CLocs. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day, CITY BETTING.—THIS DAY.

The Chester meeting comes on to-morrow, and will last till Friday. The Mostyn Stakes will, in all likelihood, be carried off by Weatherglass, and the Chesterfield by Per• suasion. The Wynnstay Handicap should be won by either King of Utopia or Donnybrook, and in the £lOO Plate Crytheia should have no difficulty in winning. Wednesday is the Chester Cup day. The field this year will be much larger than last, but scarcely the half will contest the race, as in 1832, when Joe Miller won it.

Although it was perfectly understood in all racing circles, and the announcement was made on the previous day, that Saturday would be devoted specially to settling on the New market Spring Meeting and comparing on Chester, the comparatively small muster at Tilde-park-corner this after noon led but to one conclusion—that both must have been left half one. Indeed, so trifling had been the amount of business done in the way of squaring accounts on New market, that several members were heard to say that S.ttur day settlings were a mere farce, and might as well be abo lished. Considerable irritation prevailed, especially among those members who met every demand made upon them, in full expectation of being able to recoup themselves as members or their agents dropped in. But, as has been said, many were disappointed. A few spasmodic attempts were made early in the afternoon at speculation on the Chester Cup, but some time elapsed before the tone of the market could be indicated. Accident had been made such a hot favourite in the City in the morning (where as little as 9 to 2 had been accepted about him) that all doubts seemed to be at an end as to the " Simon Pure" of Drewitt's stable. At the corner a slight reaction set in, which, however, was not of long duration, inasmuch as the currently offered odds of 6 to 1 on the field were taken towards the finish to several hundred pounds ; at the con clusion of business, however, those odds were obtainable. The "little game" carried on with the Hersey filly and Muezzin was a poser, and caused misgivings among their previous adherents, and although the former was backed for a little money singly, the pair were several times in quired after coupled, some two or three hundred pounds being invested at the latter odds, The Vacuna colt was a great " pot ," after having been put up at 20 to 1 he was supported at lessening prices until he left off at 12 to 1 (taken freely), and Greville and Veterinarian was consequently knocked right out of the betting, 15 to 1 was wanted about Bacchus, and at anything over 100 to 6 Oldminster would have found friends. A small commission in favour of My Mary was duly effected at 35 to 1 to £2O, and a request tn back a rank outsider resulted in a long shot of 1,000 to 5 about Tommy Jones, who, however, improved his reputa tion slightly thereby, inasmuch as 1,000 to 10 orkiy was offered when the room broke. Very little was dotal on the Derby.

GREY gave notice that on Thursday next he would move for the appointment of a committee to inquire into this sulject. POLAND. Mr. HENNESSY said that, iu the absence of the noble lord at the head of the Government, he would postpone until next Friday the following motion of which he had given notice for this evening :—" That the nego tiations of her Majesty's Government respecting Poland have not terminated in a satisfactory in anner. That it appears from the papers laid before Parliament that the conditions on which the British Government agreed to acknowledge the dominion of Russia in Poland have not been fulfilled by Russia. That this house is of opinion that her Majesty's Government is no longer bound to recognise the sovereignty of Russia in Poland. LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND). Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Attorney-General for Ire land, whether it is the intention of the Government to pro pose any meaFure to the house, during the present session, with a view to establish more equitable relations between landlord and tenant than exist at present in Ireland, and to induce increased exertion on the part of the tenant, by securing to him the results of his outlay and industry. Sir R. PEEL said that he had consulted his right hon. friend the Homo Secretary, and ho had to state that it was not intended by Government to introduce any bill on this subject during the present session. HALF-HOLIDAY AT THE POST-OFFICE, Mr O'REILLY asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether any inconvenience has been felt, or any extra ex pense, by the employment of additional clerks, incurred in consequence of the officials of the Moaey Order Ofam and other departments of the Poat Office having the advantage of the Saturday half-holiday ? Mr. PEEL replied in the negative. BANK NOTES (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. BAXTER asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, atter the expression of opinion in the debate on the Bank Notes (Scotland) Bill, he means to proceed with the Bank Acts Bill for Scotland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that after the expression of feeling in regard to this bill he did not propose to proceed with it further. VACCINATING SHEEP. Sir J. JERVOISE asked the Vice-President of the Committee of Council of Education when the result of the experiments in vaccinating sheep, begun in 1862, concluded in ]Bt33, and the report of which was promised by Easter, 1864, would be laid before Parliament, Mr. BRUCE said that the report had not yet been pre sented, but he was in a position to state that the geaeral purport of it was that there was a difficulty in vaccinating sheep, and that when the vaccination was efidcted it afforded no security against sheep attacked with small-pox, SCOTTISH LAW OF MORTGAGE. Mr. CARNEGIE asked the Lord Advocate, whether it was the intention of the Government to appoint a Royal Commission to inquire into the nature and working of the law of hypotheq as regards agricultural subjects in Scot land ? The LORD ADVOCATE answered in the affirmative. ALLEGI , ID FORGERY OF IRE DOCUMENT PRESENTED BY MR, SEWARD TO LORD LYONS. Sir J. ELPHINSTONE asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Govern ment had expressed any opinion on the circumstances of Mr. Seward having presented a document to Lord Lyons on Dec. 22 last, which, on March 19, he felt bound to tell him he had "just discovered " to be " a forgery :" and, whether her Majesty's Government communicated with the agents of the Confederate States in Europe on the subject, or with the Government of the Confederate States at Richmond, and with what result. Mr. LAYARD said that her Majesty's Government had not expressed any opinion on the communication alluded to. There was no agent in this country on the part of Ame rica to whom a question on the subject could be addressed. Every attempt was made to ascertain if the document was authentic or not, but the evidence was very contradictory. THE CHANNEL FLEET, Six. In reply to Sir J. PAKINGTON, Lord C. PAGET said that the Channel squadron was at present in the Downs, and was perfectly prepared for any part of the world in 24 hours. The Black Prince, Prince Consort, Hector, Defence, and Warrior were in dock. THE AUSTRIAN FLEET IN THE NORTH SBA.* Lord R.

WALPOLE asked whether, in c onse q uence of what had recently occurred in reference to agentleman who had Under been appointed one of her 11IsjestY: s Secretaries of State, and the difficulty that had a risen in reference to the same, it was not intended by Government to introduce a bill on the subject.

Everything was ready the day previously, but the explosion was not allowed to take place on account of its being a festa on that day. The mili tary band was ordered not to play, and the usual permission to the soldiers to remain out of barracks in the evening was withdrawn. The authorities were anxious on this, as on previous occasions, and especially during the progress of the demolition, not to do any act that might be considered as offensive by the natives. " A hundred rumours were in circulation at the end of the week, that the general had received in structions to suspend the embarkation of troops for the present. Whether or not this be true, which I have good reason to suppose it is, it has, however, been determined not to remove the Ist battalion of the 9tb, who are stationed in the Southern Islands. It is feared that outbreaks will occur if the English troops are withdrawn before others are ready to take their place; indeed, it is known that some of the peasants at Cerigo, combining with those of Mainci, have a plot against certain landholders and others in the island. Greece has no troops to send for the purpose of protection, and mutiny is spreading among those she possesses. " The Porte is well prepared for any contin. gency that may arise out of the unsettled state of things existing here and in Greece. She has a large force on the frontier, as well as in Albania, ready at any moment so ba used it occasion should require. Many lonians who reside in Greece and Turkey are desirous of becoming naturalised British subjects, and thus retain the protection they have hitherto enjoyed. The British Consuls have received instructions that lonians are not entitled to British protection from the Ist of January last. " On Monday last an Austrian two-decker called in here. Upon a boat putting off for the shore its occupant was received with a guard of honour and a ,Royal salute. Everybody thought that it was the Emperor Maximilian en route for Mexico, travelling incognito. It turned out that he was only an Austrian Admiral. The vessel left on the following morning, the destination being stated to be Hamburg. "An officer of the Engineers, named Gifford, who had come here to assist in the destruction of the fortresses, was accidentally killed last Tuesday by a fall from his horse. " Dr. Padovan, the President of the lonian As sembly, has left for Athens. " The cold weather still continues, and there have been several falls of snow during the week. The unseasonable weather is creating much anxiety; the vines are being seriously injured. " Her Majesty's steamer Foxhound arrived on Thursday for coals and provisions, and left yester day for Previsa." LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr, Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RI LYN. This was an application for release from custody. Mr. Phelps opposed. He said that the bankrupt an auctioneer, in Gloacester-street, Pimlico, applied on a former oceasion when he was examined, and it was shown that the bankrupt was indebted to a person named Stewart, and to whom he had given some bills. He then went to detaining creditors, and on Stewart vouching for his honesty was allowed to have silk to the value of £2OO, Stewart then went to the West Indies, and there was no doubt, Stewart and the bankrupt had divided the proceeds. He:(Mr. Phelps) said that the bankrupt had been bank rupt and insolvent before, and under the circumstances the bankrupt ought not to be relieved at present. His Honour said that it was a case in which bail ought to be given, and he should therefore require the bankrupt to enter into his own reoognisances in £2OO, and find two sureties in £lOO each. IN RE HEWITT. This was also an application for release. Mr. Treherne opposed. It appeared that the case came before the Court some time ago when it was adjourned with protection for one month, not to be renewed except on ap plication, and notice having been given to the assignees and opposing creditors. Before the protection expired bankrupt applied for a renewal of protection, but Mr. Treherne opposed, and Mr. Commissioner llolroyd refused to make the order, and referred it back to his Honour Mr, Commissioner Goulburn. On the expiration of the proteotion the bankrupt was again arrested by Mr Treherne's clients, on a bill which hid come due subse quently. The question was whether this bill did not fora part of the az iginal debt which had been proved, or, at all events, that it was a portion. Mr Treherne contended that it could not be proved, as it was then in the hands of third parties. His Honour, having consulted Mr Commissioner Holroyd, said that as the bankrupt was without protection, the court could not interfere, but the bankrupt might apply for pro tection, and then the question of release might be argued. IN RE BUCK. This bankrupt, Mary Buck, was described as of Crosby square, widow, merchant and insurance broker, carrying on business under the stale or firm of Richard Buck and Co The accounts, by Messrs. Hart Brothers and Hayles, shows debtor to creditor, £4,190; liabilities, £012; ditto on accommodation bills, £4,021. Creditor, by good debts, £237; doubtful, £3,189. Property given up to assignees, £lO3 Dtliziency, £5,316. Mr. Stewart, Copthole-court, for the assignees, said that Messrs. Hart, Brothers, and Hayles, who had been appointed to prepare the accounts, had only been able to file them on Friday, and as they were very intricate, time was required for examination. The bankrupt was a very aged lady, and the business had been carried on by the same. DR. LIVINGSTONE, according to letters from Zambesi, is in good health. It is likely that he will soon return to England. Mr. BENEDICT'S OPERETTA, announced a week or two since, will be produced in London, at Madame Louisa Vining's concert. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON M. is having a mag nificent yacht built as a presout for the Emperor and Em press of Mexico. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROAP9RIES IN A CHAPEL—A SYSTEMATIC THIEF. — Jane Hall, a girl, who described herself as a silkwinder was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following rob beries in St, Patrick's Chapel, Sutton-street, Soho. Mrs Hannah Rogers, a widow, and keeping a house at No, 6, Queen-street, Seven- dials, said that on Saturday night last she Ras in St. Patrick's Chapel, Sutton-street, Soho, and after leaving the confessional, and while kneeling saying psayers, the prisoner kneeling next to her, she felt felt something touch her pocket, in which she had the rent she had shortly before received from her lodgers. On put ing her hand down she seized the prisoner's hand as it was coming out of her pocket, it being at the time full of money. She shook the prisoner's hand, and all the money from it into her (prosecutrix's) lap. Mr. Tyrwhit aske I the prosecutrix whether she had ever seen the prisoner before, and she said she had not, and that directly after the prisoner let fall the money she ran away, but was stopped behind the pillars in the chapel, and said, "D let me go. I'll never do it again." The prisoner was then given into custody by some person connented with the chapel. Mr Richardson, 212 C, said the prisoner was charged with picking the prosecutrix's pocket on Saturday night, and when at the station she said she had done so, but asked to be allowed to go home. Mrs Rebecca Martin, the wife of a painter, of 29, Ste phen-street, Tottenham-court-road, said that, on Saturday night four weeks, while kneeling in St. Patrick's Chapel, saying prayers, after leaving the confessional, the prisoner kneeling by her side, she felt something at her pocket. She turned towards the prisoner, but as she seemed eo fer vently engaged in prayer she did not like to charge her. Shortly after, the prisoner left in a hurried manner, and on lair (prosecutrix) putting her hand into her pocket she missed her purse, containing 14s 3d. On seeing the pri soner at the chapel on Saturday night, she at once recognised her again. On Mrs Martin taking her seat behind the dock, after giving her evidence, the prisoner turned round and said, " You old fool, I should like to pull your eyes out." Prisoner said she was guilty of one charge, but not the other. Mr Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner on both charges. John Elsham, a hatter, who gave a false address, was charged with attempting to steal the watch of a young man named Grey, in the Haymarket. Prosecutor was in the Haymarket on Saturday night, when some person insulted him and said he would give him a good hiding, The prosecutor said the person could do so if he was able, and while the altercation was going on the prisoner rushed up and made an attempt to seize the pro secutor's watch, but being seen by Sergeant Nathaniel Draecovicb, of the A division, he seized him and took him to the Vine-street station. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisuner at the request of the sergeant. WESTMINSTER. ROttEßlES.—William Audeum, a boy of IG, was charged as follows 6 Ann Mayhew, of 14, Simmons-street, Chelsea, said that on Saturday, about 5 o'clock, the prisoner came to her house and asked the way to the Fulham-road. Witness directed him, and he left, but returned in five minutes and said he had forgotten his directions Witness was directing him again, when he put his hand in her pocket and took out a sovereign. She called her son, and the prisoner, who ran away, was pursued and taken into custody, William Mayhew, son of the last witness, proved that while looking out of the window he heard his mother say, " 1 have lost my sovereign." He came down stairs and caught him, but he got away again, and was ultimately captured. Thomas Wait, 45 B, said that he saw the prisoner run ning along the King's-road, followed by a great mob. He ran into a shop, but was lost sight of, and again came to view in about five minutes. Witness caught him, and he said he was a respectable boy, and lived at 54, Brompton. road. Witness took him to the station, and on searching him found one sovereign, two florins, one shilling, and 6d. in copper. Witness went to Brompton-road, but ho was not known there. Sergeant Smith said there was another charge against the prisoner. Mrs Jane Thompson, 162, Brompton-road, said that pri soner came into her shop last Wednesday at half-past C, and after bargaining about a jug, left the shop. Three minutes afterwards witness missed half a sovereign and ten shillings in silver, with some coppers. She could swear to him as being the man. Prisoner denied the charge of Mrs. Thompson, and re fused any account of himself. Ile was remanded till Saturday. THAMES. FORBEARANCE AND BRUTALITY.—John Harley, an Irish labourer, aged 30, of No. 7, Shorter's-rents, Dock street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with violently assaulting and beating George Forster, a police-constable, No. 207 H. Last night the policeman found the prisoner quarrelling with a man in the neighbourhood of that frightful place, Rosemary-lane, which has not improved since the name has been changed to Royal Mint-street. Forster mildly interfered and requested the prisoner to go home. He had much trouble with him, but his pacific efforts were ulti• mately crowned with success, and the prisoner departed. The peace obtained by the constable was of short duration, for the prisoner returned and made another disturbance. He was about to strike the woman, when Forster again interfered and took the prisoner to the station-house. On his way there the prisoner struck the constable and attempted to trip him up. Notwithstanding this the con stable interceded with the inspector of police at Leman street station-house, and asked him to release the prisoner. Hi s appeal was listened to favourably, and the inspector said, "Release him ; let him go out at the back door." The police constable was in the act of letting the prisoner out when he turned round and said, " You shall have it now," and struck at him right and left, and inflicted several heavy blows on his head and body. A fierce struggle took place, and the constable bawled out for help. The prisoner then grasped Forster by the neck and attempted to choke him. Other policemen who heard the noise rushed to the help of Forster and rescued him from the prisoner's grasp. The prisoner, in defence, said he had a " dhrop taken," and that was all about it. Mr. Partridge said the constable had acted with remark able and praiseworthy forbearance, and the prisoner had committed a very brutal and cowardly outrage upon him. Drunkenness was no excuse for these savage assaults on members of the police in the fair exercise of their duty He had not heard a worse case of the kind for some time. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. SHIPPING -THIS DAY. lj May 2 . — Wind this day at noon—South west; breeze and fine. By MAGNETIC TELEGRAM.

The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On comparing; these rates with the English Mint priee of 41:3 17s. 10ieL per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 1-I(th per cent. dearer in Paris than London. By a.dviees fromLiamburg the price of ,gold is 1231 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.4} per £1 sterlin— Standard gold at the English ➢iirt price is, therefore, rather more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Ham burg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills a 60 days' sight is about 182 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 9 per cent. At these rates there is no profit en the importationof gold from the United States.
