O . MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, One o'Cloci. The returns of the Bank of England bears out all that has been said during the past week concerning the Money Market. The gold has further increased 1679,080—a sum only to a small extent in excess of the arrivals known to have been purchased. It is probable therefore that we shall not hear much more of the influx of gold from the provinces, especially now that the season of agricultural activity is arriving. The slight increase in the bills discounted would indi cate that business is not falling off, a view which is supported by the satisfactory total of cheques and bills Passed through the clearing house during the same Period. As compared with the previous return, the following are the changes : Increase in Circulation Increase in Public Deposits Decrease in other Deposits No change in amount of Government Securities. Increase in other Securities • 19,814 Increase in Bullion Decrease in Rest Increase in Reserve Bullion i❑ both Departments 21,969,738 Reserve including Notes and Coin 12,743,253 Circulation, including Bank Post Bills 24,691,039 The following is the return of the cheques and bills Which passed through the bankers' clearing house ( luring the week ending the 3d inst.:— May 28, Thursday ...

The further hearing of this case was resumed this morning by the examination of witnesses to disprove the allegations made against the peti tioner, viz., connivance, and a neglect that amounted almost to participation. The Solicitor-General appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Sergeant Parry, Mr. Montagu Chambers, and Dr. Spinks appeared for the other parties in terested in the suit. Captain Fearon and Major Pearce, the friends consulted by Mr. Dering after the flight of his wife from Clifford Hay, gave evidence to show the effect the conduct of the wife had upon him, and also the steps that were taken afterwards. Mr. Bering, uncle of the petitioner, said he used to visit the parties after the marriage, and he invariably saw them on affectionate terms. He thought Mr. Dering a very - attentive husband. He had seen Capt. Blakeley there but twice. Mr. G. Edward Dering, brother of the petitioner, said he had always lived on the best terms with his brother. He thought his brother devotedly attached to her, as she was a very fascinating woman. He had known them both in the country and town life, and he always found them happy. Away from her attachment with Lord Forth, Mts. Dering was a lady of elegant manners. He had. frequently dined at his brother's house, and used to see Capt. Blakeley there. He never saw the wife of the captain there. lie never saw anything that would induce him to believe that there was any improper in timacy existing between Airs. Bering and Capt. Blake ley. He was certain his brother had no suspicion of the sort. He had heard of the yacht excursion, but he believed Mr. and Mrs. Bering went in con sequence of her failing health. He was not aware his brother was addicted to drinking. He saw his brother at Limmer's Hotel on the Saturday morn ing after the flight of Mrs. Dering from Clifford Hay. He was very much excited. He said he was afraid she had had an attack of brain fever, and had become au irresponsible agent. He said she had left a message for Captain Blakeley to meet her, which he thought was strange. Mr. Bering was very much distressed at what had taken place, and continued so for- some time. He afterwards went to Brighton, and any one who knew Mr. Dering could not fail to see that a cala mity had fallen on him. By the Solicitor-General—Had dined at Bolton street, but not very frequently. After dinner he always left the house before the petitioner. He had seen Captain Blakeley there very often, but he was ' not aware that he visited Mrs. Daring every evening between four and five. Before the fact happened he learned that Mrs. Daring had eloped with Captain Blakeley. He therefore at that time knew it was untrue. He never heard that the familiarity of Captain Blakeley and Mrs. Daring was talked of at the clubs. lie never head his brother make complaints of the conduct of the captain on board the yacht towards his wife. Mr. Cooper, solicitor to Mr. Dering, said he was in the habit of seeing Mr. and Mrs. Dering together, and it always appeared to him that they were extremely kind and affectionate to each other. That was the case to within a very short time before she left her husband. He saw Mr. Dering at Brighton aft er hi s w if e ' s fli g h t, an d hewasthen in a state of great bodily depression. His health appeared greatly in danger. After that Mrs. Capel called to endeavour to get something out of him. (Laughter.) She did not impute ne glect to Mr. Dering, but, on the contrary, she said she entertained the highest opinion of him. He did not know what she came to him for, and it never afterwards very clearly appeared. By the Solicitor-General—He had only dined at Dering's home once. By Mr. M. Chambers—He was acting for the Derings as solicitor in the suit for the divorce when Mrs. Capel came to him. She attempted to pump him, and he most likely pumped her. (Laughter.) When Mrs. Capel first came she commenced by saying, " It's all Ned's fault." He knew it was not, and therefore he took no notice of it, as ho knew it was not the fact. The lady came to get something which was not very clear, so he let her talk. (Laughter.) He didn't trouble himself to listen much. He was not at all surprised that the first observation she made was directly opposed to the other. She was a very rambling talker, but he wrote as much as he could recollect of what she said to Mr. Dering after she had gone. (Laughter.) By Sergeant Parry—She never imputed any thing like neglect or connivance to Mr. Daring. Sir E. Hutcheson said he had known Mr. Dering for upwards of twenty years, and he had never seen him the worse for drink. He saw him after he arrived at Brighton, and he never saw a man so miserable in all his life. He was not in the habit of visiting at Bolton-street. The loss of his wife seemed to be the cause of Mr. Dering's grief, lie was a member of " the rag," and had seen Mr. Dering there, but he knew nothing about his card playing. This closed the evidence. Mr. Sergeant Parry then addressed the jury for Mr. Dering, and contented that the evidence he had adduced clearly showed that the petitioner could not be found guilty of connivance, collusion, and a party to his own dishonour. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) MARK E 7 S.—(7his Day.) CORN. After a steady fall of rain during yesterday_the weathor is again fins this morning. The tone of the trade gene rally is firmer. At Mark Lane this morning there was only a moderate attendance, and the trade was q iet, but little less desire to sell.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-TIDS DAY. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. THROWING STONES AT THE DUCKS IN KENSING TON GARDENS.—Frederick Page and Henry Willer, two lads, were charged before Mr. Knox with throwing stones and wilfully damaging the em, bankmeut iu Kensington Gardens. Police -constable George Strutt, 273 A, deposed that on the previous evening he saw the prisoners throwing stones at the ducks in the Serpentine in Kensington-gardens, and also pulling up stones forming the embankment and throwing them into the trees. The prisoners denied doing so. The constable said the prisoners seemed to be bent on mischief. The prisoners said that all they were doing wa , throwing at an old tin pot in the water, and that they were not doing any harm. _ _ Mr. Knox said lie felt bound to believe. the con stable, and fined the prisoners 10s. each, or seven days. A FIFTEEN SHILLING PONY.—SIIAMEFUL CRU ELTY.--Edward King, a dealer in hay, living in the Waterloo-road, was charged before Mr. Knox by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with the following cruelty to a pony : Inspector Townley, of the above society, said that while in Oxford-street his attention was called to the prisoner, who was driving an old pony at tached to a van laden with hay. The poor animal was sweating very much, and appeared to be very distressed. Noticing that it was flinching from the saddle, he stopped it and examined it, and found that it had a sore as large as the palm of his hand under the saddle, and it was very old and nothing but skin and bone. The prisoner said that he had given 15s. for it a week ago, that it had the sore on its back at the time, and that he had brought a load of hay from Paddington. Barns, the gaoler, said that he had seen the pony, and a more miserable creature he had never seen ; it was a mere skeleton and could scarcely walk. The prisoner said he had paid altogether for the pony, and he was only a poor man. He would promise not to work the pony again, and was wil ling to have it destroyed. Mr. Knox said that if the prisoner had not con sented to have had the pony destroyed he would have sent him to prison for a month. Temperley went with the prisoner and saw the pony destroyed, and on his reporting the fact to Mr. Knox he fined the prisoner 10s. or seven days' imprisonment. A STILL NORSE CASE._William Spencer, an old man, a greengrocer, of Stephen-street, Edge ware-road, was charged by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with cruelty to a pony, by working it in an unfit state. The pony was brought into the yard of the court the magistrate's was ist rate'3 insp ec ti on , an d a.more dnever seen, every bone in wiete h for e sp the poor creature's body being visible. the prisoner dri v i ng a pony attac h e d tha l rh pect to a cart laden with g r eens in Oxford -street, aud it reeled as it went along. Seeing the prisoner whip esoar Temperley, of the abo ve so c i e ty, s a id w whip ping the pony a s he went along he remonstrated with bins for his cruelty, when he said that he was obliged to whip it to get it along, and that he could get 15s. for it when it was dead, and that that was eno ugh to buy another with. On ex amining the pony he found that both its hind legs were diseased, the hip bones nearly through the skin, and there was a wound extending nearly the whole length of the back, and of all the wretched animals he had ever seen it was the worst. .• Barns, the gaoler, said that he had given the pony some hay, but it did not appear to have strength enough to eat it. Mr. Knox, after seeing the pony, said it was a wonder to him the prisoner could have had the heart to put it into the shafts. The prisoner said he had only had the pony two days, and that he had given it plenty to eat. Mr. Knox said the prisoner was au old man, and he would like to know how he would like to be put to do work beyond his strength. Was he willing to have the pony destroyed ? • The prisoner sail he was. Mr. Knox said thAt he was not going to let the prisoner put the proceeds of the wretched animal into his pocket, and told him after the p)ny had been destroyed he would decide the costs. On the officer returning to the court, he informed the magistrate that the pony had been destroyed, and that its carcase only fetched 53. Mr. Knox, taking into consideration that the prisoner was poor and old—about 70—and remark ing that the result of the case was that the poor creature had been put out of its misery, discharged him. As the prisoner was leaving the Court he became very excited, stating that he should have to go to the workhouse. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.,___Abraham Taylor, an elderly man, a cabdriver, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting a respectable young woman, named Elizabeth Tym, the daughter of a licensed victualler in Ratcliffe. Mr. 11. Allen, prosecuting officer of the Associate Institution for the Protection of Females, and for improving and enforcing the laws for the protection of women and children in the united kingdom watched the case for that useful society. The prisoner has been several times in custody for assaulting the mother of the complainant, who alleged that he h a d made improper a d vances to wards her, and w anted her to l i ve w i t h hi m . H e h as been convicted four times for assaulting her, and on one occasion it was proved that his conduct was of the most gross description. Last night he met the com plainant in Brook-street, Ratcliff, while the rain was falling heavily, and assaulted her. She called the police and g ave him into custo d y . The prisoner m a d e loud protes t a ti ons o f inno cence, and said that the story of the complainant was false from beginning to end. He asked the magistrate if he did not recollect that last time the mother of the prosecutrix came before him, she did not say, "My daughter will charge you next." Mr. Paget made no answer to this question and committed the prisoner for trial. Mr. Allen said—The Associate Institution, which he represented, would prosecute in this case if the prosecutrix would consent. TILE LATE G.

SIIIPWRECK.—News of a distressing wreck, for tunately, however, unattended by any loss of life, has been received from the far north. On Saturday, the 23d of May, the German emigrant ship Lessing ran ashore in a fog, on Fair Isle, between the Orkneys and Shetlands ; and the violence of her collision with the lofty rocks breaking the ship's back, the sea rushed in, and the passengers and crew, numbering some 480 in all, were exposed to immi nent jeopardy. The islanders, however, actively and bravely set to the work of rescue, and through a cavern communi cating with the creek in which the ship lay, the rocks there being too high and precipitous for any attempt to be made immediately at the wreck, the passengers were all extri cated from their perilous plight, and landed on the summit of the isle—for the most part la a thoroughly destitute condition. Information of the disaster was at once sent to Lerwick, and a schooner was despatched thence to the isle with supplies, and in two trips brought most of the luck less emigrants to Lerwick; but the unlooked-for increase of the town's population causes much inconvenience, and the distress of the shipwrecked families is greater than the resources of the district can fairly or lung be taxed to al leviate.— Scotsman.

(From the Times' Correspondent.) SALERNO, May 26. The trial of Gaetano Manzi, the brigand chief, who captured our countrymen Mr. Moens and the Rev. Mr. Aynsley, has now terminated, and 1 send you a very brief and condensed report of it. Toge ther with him, seated on the benches appropriated to the accused, were 19 of his accomplices, several of whom had been the companions of his boyhood, and one was a near relative. These were the only members of his band whom he implicitly trusted, the others being bloodthirsty villains, who, had they deemed it their interest, would have murdered their chief as well. One of these it was who, according to the assertion of Manzi, urged him to cut off Mr. Moens's ears—whether it was humanity or calcula tion which made hiql refuse it would be diffi cult to decide. This important trial began on the 2d instant, and was terminated on the 2Gth, thus oceupying twenty-five days. . During its progress 91 witnesses were examined for the prosecution and 32 for the defence. Many of them at first equivocated and hesitated from fear of the vengeance of the friends of the accused, but at length they confirmed the depo sitions which had been taken on the drawing up of the proces. The requisitoria or speech of the Public Minister lasted two days, while the advo cates of the accused occupied the attention of the Court for four days. The summing up by the President lasted three hours, on the conclusion of which he proposed 311 questions for the consideration of the jury. After having been shut up for five hours and ten minutes, they returned to the court, and pronounced a ver dict corresponding for the most part with the re quisitoria of the Public Minister, who demanded the punishment of death for three of the accused, forced labour in irons for life for nine, 25 years for two, 22 years for one, 21 for one, 20 for one, and for two manuteugoli, 10 and 12 years of seclusion. The Court finally condemned Manzi, De Angelis, and Olivieri to death, and the others respectively to the punishment already named. The crimes imputed to Manzi and his accomplices were 20 in num ber, and I give them in proof of the enormi ties which have been daily committed for now eight years in Southern Italy. 1. For being an associate of brigands from April, 1863, to March, 1866. 2. The extortion of 46,748 lire, with seques tration of person, to the injury of Pietro Arcusio, 17th of August, 1863. 3. Rebellion committed in an association of malefactors, accompanied by at tempts at murder, 1863. 4. Extortion of 11,751 lire, with the sequestration of the Priest Olivieri and Luigi Calabritto, on the 11th Jantury, 1864. 5. Extortion of 16,999 lire, with sequestration of the Canons Perito and Galetti on the 11th of Feb., 1864. 6. The murder of Gaetano Gambrille on the 9th-10th of March, 1864. 7. Extortion of 4,675 lire, with sequestration of Giacomo Cerino and his two sons, as also of another man, on the 6th May, 1864. 8. The premeditated assassination of Celes tiano Zambrile on the Ist of October, 1864. 9. Robbery with violence. 10. Extortion of 4,794 lire, with sequestration of Francisco Caperano, on the 31st of October, 1861. 11. Extortion, of 50,000 lire, with sequestration of Francesco Cornelia, ou the 13th of December, 1864. 12. Ex tortion of 9,771 lire, with the sequestration, wounding, and murder of two men, 10t1 of Feb ruary, 1865. 13. The attempt at extortion, and the capture of three men, the 15th of May, 1865. 14. The extortion of 127,900 lire, with the seques tration of Moens and Aynsley, the 15th of May, 1865. 16. Extortion of 179,745 lire, with seques tration of Federico Wenner and another, on the 31st of October, 1865. 17. Complicity in the afore ' said extortion. 18. Murder of Giuseppi Trincaro. 19. Robbery with violence of three persons. 20. Murder of Giuseppe Torio. It is not to be supposed, however, that one-half the crimes committed by these miscreants are enumerated in this category. These were vio lations and other and heartless murders, and earcroppings and robberies without number ; the entire province of Salerno was kept in a state of continual fear, for, like fire-flies, the band attacked an individual, a house, or a district when least expected, and with equal rapidity dartel off to their fastnesses. Imagine thb existence or zany nunnler of bands -- rim, t Roman frontier doWn to the toe of Italy acting with equal ferocity and promptitude, and you may realise what is the state of the Southern province. The jury—which was composed of proprietors, lawyers, medical men, merchants, and others equally re3pectable acquitted themselves with great firmness—so much the more laudable that some of ,them reside in the immediate neighbour hood of the old haunts of the accused, and will pos sibly be exposed to the vengeance of their friends. Nothing was heard of extenuating circumstances, and one would almost hope that the moral sense of the people was becoming more elevated, were it not for the fact that several of the charges were for se questrating and robbing foreigners. Among the advocates for the defence• were several of the most distinguished at the Naples Bar, as Professor En rico Pessina. Public opinion severely criticised their conduct in undertaking the defence of such a case, which was well paid for, and still more severely their leaving their seats as soon as the ver dict of the jury had been given in. It is almost unnecessary to say that the court during the whole of this long trial was crowded to excess by persons of every class. Many foreigners were present, the great majority of whom were English. THE QUEEN'S GROUNDS, LIAMMERSMITIL-A very well contested series of pigeon shooting matches have been given at those new grounds, the proprietor offering several valuable articles of plate and six fat lambs as prizes. On Tuesday there was a capital trial of skill between the two best shots on the ground, Mr. Page and Mr. Collings. Each killed his three birds, and then followed a series of " ties," which ended in favour of Mr Page by only what is termed a " lost" bird. Each fired thirteen times, and the actual misses being but too. Collings hit his thirteenth bird severely from both barrels, but it was just able to perch and then it fell dead ; but Mr Page met with better fortune, he killed his bird with a single discharge. A gun club has been formed at the Queen of England, and the meetings are arranged to take place at the now grounds twice a week. THE GOVERNMENT AND THE SPECIAL CONSTABLES. —At a meeting of the St. Paul's, Covent-garden, Vestry, yesterday, an important subject was brought under discus sion relative to the conduct of the Government with respect to the late swearing-in of special constables in the metro polis. It will be remembered that when the Fenian outrage at Clorkenwell House of Detention occurred, the Home Secretary sent to all the vestries instructions to aid the swearing-in of spacial constables. Some of the vestries took up the matter slowly, and some promptly, and the Vestry of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, in whose district Bow-street Police-court stands, acted with exceeding promptness, as was then most needful, for Bow-street was then almost daily filled with Fenian roughs, and that police-court could not be occupied with swearing-in specials, as there were many important examinations going on. Two Middlesex magistrates, Mr. Henry White and Mr. Still well, sat on a great many days, and three thousand per sons were sworn in and brigaded into companies. On the bill for the payment of clerks, the cost of advertising, the payments for staves and badges, being sent to the clerk of the peace, the Middlesex magistrates had ordered the matter to be left in abeyance, as the Bench were not quite clear as to whether it had the power to pay for this hasty swearing-in (reference not having been made to the magistrates direct), and the Home Secretary was thereupon appealed to. He, however, is unwilling to " make a precedent" for paying for county work by the Home-office, and refuses to pay for anything more than the staves issued. The question now arises if the parishes are to be left to pay the burden thus thrown upon them, and the general expression of the vestries, thus left with the bills oa their hands, is that the Government and the magistrates will not find the local authorities ready to give their co-op,ration iu such matters again if they are thus left to face the expenses. Eventually the further consi deration of the matter was left over until next week. THE CLYDE.—The amount of Customs revenue collected at Glasgow in May was £74,818, as compared with £90,00 iu May, 1867, and £68,954 in May, 1866. At Greenock Customs revenue was collected in May to the extent of £105,708, as compared with £101,068 in May, 1867, and £132,32 . 2 in May, 1866. The imports of sugar into the Clyde in the first five months of this year amounted to 66,389 tons, against 78,587 tons in the cor responding period of 1867 ; the deliveries for home con sumption in the Clyde during the last five months amounted to 69,613 tons, against 70,788 tons iu the corres ponding period of 1867. The stock iu bond in the Clyde at the close of May was 12,757 tons, against 26,785 tons at the close of May, 1867. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, June 4. Mr. Win. L.

THE VOLUMEERS. General Linds iy, the inspector-rienerat of her Majesty's Reserve Forces, officially inspected the Civil Service Rifle Volunteer Corps (the 21st Middlesex), commanded by Lard Bury, at Wim bledon-common, on Wednesday evening. The regiment is composed exclusively of officials en gaged in the Government offices, and its members are therefore more concentrated for drilling and other purposes than any other metropolitan corps. There was, as might therefore be expected, a some what larger muster of the members than is generally seen on parede of other corps, there being, out of a regiment of eight companies, seven on the ground, each company of between 20 and 21 files. The regi ment left the Waterloo station,and came at the Wi mbledon end of the common. A column of companies was formed, and on the approach of the reviewing General, who was accompanied by Colonel Daub ney, the column deployed into line, and gave the usual salute. The ordinary course has been for the corps to march past after this ceremony, but the General had an open column formed, and ranks having been opened, he dismounted and proceeded, with his aide, to make a most minute inspection of the arms, accoutrements, and uniform of the men, inspecting not merely the nipples or the interiors of the rifles, but both, and even opening the cartouche boxes of the men to see that nothing of an unmilitary character was kept in them. This proceeding over, the march past in open column at the " quick " and in quarter distance at the " double" were gone through. Line being again formed, Major Hawker, the second in command, was then called upon to put the regiment through the "Manual." The effect of the " Port arms," with fixed bayonets, was somewhat marred by two or three men coming to the position of the "Support arms," and in the " Charge bayonets," some few of the rear rank, instead of standing un moved at the " Port," charged at the word upon their comrades. Generally, however, the move ments were well executed. By the command of the General, the regiment marched over the common towards the Windmill, and for a couple of hours engaged in a sharp light infantry drill, as leaving one wing as a main body, and sending out four companies as skirmishers and supports, the " front covered" by the skirmishers being the butts over by Combe-wood, where a sharp fire was kept up. Several times the compa nies had to run in on their supports, and form squares, so that there was some trying work in the inspection. The battalion reformed line, and ad vanced by wings, firing, a movement which was well executed, the firing being particularly effective and regular. General LINDSAY, at the close (some time after nightfall), addressed the regiment, and said he knew the Volunteers had many difficulties to over come in having few opportunities of drilling to gether, and in having drill places very limited in space. Making these allowances, he considered the regiment had done well as a whole, and what he liked to see in the Volunteers since he had had an opportunity of seeing them was the quickness with which they got into order if they were at all thrown out. He particularly remarked a looseness in the ranks, the result of want of confidence in the men, causing the supernumerary ranks to keep up a constant " hum" of talking, so he supposed, at correcting the men, for he - could not suppose there was talking in the ranks. He remarked that in firing the rifles were well Lvelled generally, but some two or three men had their weapons nearly perpendicular. Taking what was done as a whole, he considered the regiment was excellently handled, and if the whole of the members could be brought together at the drills the corps could be made a body capable of doing anything. The remarks of the General were received in the silence now regularly observed, the practice of cheering the inspectors having been discontinued by order, and the General having left the ground Lard Bury addressed a few words to the corps, the mem bers of which were marched back to head quarters and dismissed.
