CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The' Liverpool Cotton market yesterday closed firmly, at extreme prices for all descriptions. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, 1,000 of which Were taken by the speculators, and 500 by the exporters. The Railway Share market closed with a very animated appearance, and prices have 'lightly improved. In the market for foreign and colonial produce there has not been much animation this week, but the intelligence from India and China has in fluenced the value of particular article, tea, for matance, has advanced, and good common congou now held at 14id. to 1410. per lb. Saltpetre also has been enhanced to the extent of 2s. per cwt., at which a large business has been transacted. In creased firmness has been apparent in the market fo r Sugar, and on Tuesday a rise of about 6d. per cwt. was established, but there has since been re newed flatness. Coffee is very quiet and some descriptions are rather cheaper. Cocoa is firm, a nd rum is about previous ra tes. A ver y limited inquiry has prevailed for rice, but there is no change in prices to report. About the usual amount of business has been done in spices ; Pimento, and pepper are rather dearer. Cochineal continues firm and also tallow. The market for silver continues to advance, and bars are nominally ss. 2d. per ounce standard. This is owing to the active demand for shipment as the advance' in the exchanges will occasion in creased remittances. Daily withdrawals of gold from the Bank are taking place, and yesterday a further sum of 50,0001. was absorbed. This con tinued drain must be telling seriously upon th® Metallic reserves of Threadneedle-street, and the official return for the current week may be ex pected to show a very considerable reduction. The favourable opinions lately expressed in con nection with our monetary prospects have given Place Ito some gloomy anticipations ; and unless considerable arrivals of gold take place to make up the deficiency caused by ,the shipments, increased stringency is anticipated. The inquiry for discount accommodation is exceedingly active, and full rates are in all cases exacted for the negotiation of mer cantile paper. No relief is anticipated until after the 4th of the month. The meeting of the Cologne Mining Company Was held to-day for altering the regulations neces sary under the concern being now considered as a compagnie chile. The half-yearly meeting of the International Electric Telegraph Company was held to-day, at Which a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum was declared. The half-year's receipts were 89,4511. 10s. 5d., for which the dividend was declared. There is increased firmness in the market for English Securities, in consequence of several Bears having closed their accounts after the recent de cline. Business, nevertheless, is very dull, and during the remainder of the account the speculators Will no doubt proceed with more caution. Not withstanding the particulars already published, there is a good deal of anxiety for the delivery of the Overland Mail. The demand for money out of doors is very active, but on the Stock xchange there _is a good supply, and at the current rates loans are easily obtainable. Consols for transfer, have been 901 1, and for account 901 The present price is 90g 1. The New 3 per Cents, have risen to 90l 91, and the Re duced to 901 4.

THE BALLOT, The Earl of ALBEMARLE pr, seated a petition from the Ballot Society, and also one from Wtstminster, in favour of vote by ballot. SLAVE TRADE. Lord BROUGHAM said, in the absence of the noble earl the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, he begged to ask the noble earl tbe President of the Council, whether the Government had received any information from our Vice-Consul at Marseilles respecting the supposed re jection by the constituted authorities at Martinique of the offer proffered to the French Government in re spect to the importation of free negroes into the West Coast of Africa ? Earl GRANVILLE said he was not aware of any such information having been received, but he would communicate the question to bis noble friend. STATE OF THE ARMY IN INDIA. The Earl of ELLENBOROIJGII rose to move for certain returns relating to the means of carriage of the army in India. He said all now depended upon proper land carriage. If those measures which had been pointed out to the Government some time time back had been taken, he was of opinion that the present deplorable calamity would not have taken place. The present mode was not the way in which war used to be car ried on. When he was a boy he recollected reading with great admiration the gallant conduct of Gen. Gillespie who, when a similar mutiny broke out at Lahore, though he was two miles distant when the news reached him, lost not a moment in meeting the difficulty, and within one hour, instead of waiting for 9-pounders, had rushed through the gates at the head of his forces, and sabred the mutineers on the spot. The mutiny was thus put down. (Hear, hear.) That was in the time of the Red Hand—(hear, hear)—it ap peared that we now had arrived at the time of Red Head. (Laughter.) As to the position of General Barnard, it appeared that he had taken a great number of the enemies guns. 11l informed as he was upon the facts, he was not prepared to say that General Barnard could have done more. If those affairs which it was stated bad taken place at Barraokpore and Dumdum, had occurred under the late Sir C. Napier, be would have treated them in a very different way to that which they had been treated by the authorities in India. General Barnard's present Position would no doubt be able to repel any attacks so long as he remained there. But it was not possible he would occupy that station very long. It was stated that he was waiting for reinforcements, but there was no new force to send to him, unless they took away the troops from the Puojaub. His mind was greatly re lieved when he read the last accounts from India in re spect to our army before Delhi as he had foreboding that an attack would have been made, and that they would re ceive tbe information that it had failed, but was glad such was not the case. He hoped that General Bar nard bad an appreciation of the difficulty of his position, for when the rains came on he would be cut off from all means of support, ;as in his present position he would be imprisoned on a narrow strip of land. His present situation was not merely one of peril, but one that might eventually end in ru n. Earl GItA.NVILLE said there was no objection to the papers moved for by the noble earl. The conduct pursued in comment ing in such unmeasured language upon the present state of affair 3 in India could serve no other purpose than that of embarrassing the Government. Statements such as those made by the noble earl could have no other effect than to do serious iniiubief at a time when the public mind was so seriously excited. [LEFT SPEAKING ] HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 1 2 o'c lock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. T Liberties L aidered and agreed :—Burial of the Dead within the or o d f Larnonednodnin 0 London, e i i i it: si t i o the following n bills were con. g d en a nd Todmorden Roads, Kinross-shire Railway, Metropolitan Railway (No. 2.), and South Staffordshire Water. the scarcity of cotton, and praying PETITIONS. Mr. CROSS and another hon. memb er presented f o r an enquiry into pe titions from the inhabitants of Preston com p lainin g of the causes that prevented its growth in India. ELECTION PROSECUTIONS. Mr. H. BAILLIE asked the right hon. the Home Secretary if the Attorney-General had been authorised to prosecute all those persons who had been reported by election committees to have violated the laws of the country, or whether it was to be confined to the offen ders in the county of Mayo I Sir G. GREY said that the Attorney-General only prosecuted such cases as the committees considered were of sufficient importance and magnitude far such a proceeding. The chairman of the Mayo Committee, with, as he (Sir G. Gray) understood, the unanimous approbation of the members of that committee, made a motion in that house for the prosecution of two per mms in connection with that election, to which the house had acceded. He did not know the other cases to which the hon. gentleman . referred, but he had no doubt if the chairman of any other election committee made a similar motion, that the house would deal with it when made according to its merits. PROBATE AND LETTERS OF ADMINISTRA TION (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was committed pro forms, for the introduc tion of amendments , . REVISING BARRISTERS (DUBLIN) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. NA PIER, at considerable length, stated his ob jecions to this bill. It would have the effect of depriv ing one of the present revising barristers of Dublin (Mr. which Mr. and other hon. mem- Shaw) of his office w ithout com pensation.

On the first clause, lar as an amendment, that the power N A apPpioEinß moved,tMentsh should be transferred to the Lord Chief Justice, and that he should appoint one in addi tion to the one already appointed by the Lord Lieute nant. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND op posed the amendment. contending that the English sys tem was not so much approved of as to warrant them in adopting it for Ir.land. It would be an anomaly to have two revising barristers, one appointed by the Lord- Lieutenant, and the other by the Lord Chief Justice. Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Butt, Mr. H. Herbert, Colonel French, Mr. I. Butt, and other members addressed the house, after which the committee divided— For the amendment Against it Majority Mr. NAP?IER then moved that the chairman do re. port progres% A discussion ensued, but it was stopped by the stand , ing order of the house at ten minutes to 4 o'clock.

The train No. 24 was returning to Paris, when the waggon containing the baggage took fire, unknown to the servants, a short distance from Jalon le-Virmes. The engineer, unconscious o f what had lu t appeuecl, was hastening the speed of the locomotive, when the fire, fanned by the wind, ex:I:el - 00i its ravage, increased in inten sity, and shortly atterwaisis the flames, rising in a whirlwind, covered the waggon. The engineer then blew the alarm whistle, and the conductors lost no time in tightening the breaks, so as to stop the train as quickly as possible. Unfortu nately, at the sight of the flumes the travellers who were in the carriages nearest to the baggage-waggons, and particularly the women and children, raised piercing cries, and created a panic which it is easy to comprehend. A great number of travellers, without waiting for the train to be stopped, forced open the doors and jumped out on the road. Thanks, how ever, to the energy of the railway servants, the train was stopped, and the burning waggon sepa rated from the others. The fire was then extin guished without much difficulty. During this time all possible attention was given to the wounded, amounting to eight or n;ne. Four of the travellers, two women and two children, were killed. It is believed that one is Madame Boulichoff, a cousin of Prince Balabine, an attache to the Russian Em bassy. It was found necessary to leave some of the wounded at Epernay, as they were unable to con tinue their journey to Paris. The railway directors sent surgeons from Paris by an express train to dress their wounds. After the " fire was extin guished the train continued its course to Paris, where it arrived one hour and 25 minutes behind time. The directors of the railway company have communicated the following particulars to the Paris papers : " The train No. 24 quitted Strasburg on the 28th for Paris, and at the station of Oiry, the baggage waggon took fire. The carriage coming from Metz, placed immediately behind that waggon, was almost exclusively occupied by women and children. At the sight of some sparks of fire the women, yield ing to a vory regrettable panic, opened the doors, notwithstanding the earnest efforts of a traveller to prevent them, and jumped to the ground, carrying their children with them. The train being in mo tion, the consequences inevitable in such cases ensued. We have to deplore the loss of two ladies and two children killed by the fall. Eight other persons are slightly wounded. This misfortune is a fresh example of the danger arising from the public not observing the railway regulations. If, as those regulations command, the travellers had not attempted to alight from the train while in motion, but had waited for it to stop, which it did in a few minutes afterwards, we should not have to deplore any accident. The fire appears to have been communicated to the interior of the baggage waggon by some combustible matter contained in travelling trunks of which the contents were un kno wnas they were sealed and leaded at the Custom house of Forbach."

COMMITTAL OF A POLICE CONSTABLE AS A DESERTER. —At Greenwich Police -court, yesterday, Richard Walker, 29 years of age, a police-constable in the It division of metropolitan police, was charged with being a deserter from the sth battalion of Royal Artillery. The prisoner had deserted from Woolwich about twelve months since, and during the time he bad been in the police force his duties had brought him into close proxi mity to the barracks from which his desertion bad taken place. No suspicion, however, had attached to him, owing to his always appearing in police uniform ; but some one gave information to the Commissioners of Police, who caused the prisoner to betaken into custody. He admitted the charge, and was ordered to be conveyed to head-quarters at Woolwich.

They will be found, we believe, to contain a fair stock of grouse on the low grounds, but a deficiency on the high shootings generally, caused by the want of an adequate number of old birds from last year. Some of the best moors have not yet, however, been examined by dogs, the pro prietors wishing that the young birds should obtain the justice of not being disturbed at this early period of the season. To compensate for any disappoint meat in the upland districts on account of the falling off in the grouse, there were never more favourable ac counts from the deer forests.

While Parliament is occup - ed with a most im portant law in regard to divorce, and devising to prevent monstrous injustice to married women for the future, the law officers of Australia are inter preting the law of bigamy in such a manner as must, if they are correct in opiuion, make it uttrly impossible for ninety-nine p nous who have been married in Eugland to prove the fact in the Austra lian couits, and save their children from bastardy. If their view of the evidence necessary to estab lish the civil condition of a woman who hes been married according to law in England be correct, no written document is available. Copies of . the parochial record of marriage in a church by the incumbent, certified under his own band, and cer tificates from the registrars of marriage, are but so much waste paper, though these things are intended by l aw to be evidence of a mar riage. The colonial law requires the production of one of the witnesses of a marriage that toot place at a distance of ten thousand miles from the Aus tralian courts, and may be o' twenty or twenty-five yearsstandine. Why, often in England anti Sort land it would be utterly impossible to furnish other proofs than certificates of marriage. Clergyman registrar, and witnesses may all have died 1 ing be fore there is a necessity to tsnder evidence of a marriage; and what the cols)) sal lawyers suppose to be requisite must bs const eitly proving to be a cause of unmerited disgrace, impoverishment, cruelty, and oppression. A case of bigamy has recently brought to light the imperfect or the iniquitous state of the law of =triage in Australia, according to which every married woman from Great Britain or any other country now in that colony, unless she can pro duce one who was present at her marriage in Britain, is, in the view of the Australian law, no wife ; she has no rights as such, and, consequerely, by the same rule, her children are bastards. This is no supposition of a possible case. The Sydney Empire says, that " there are many such cases, and several have fallen within our own knowledge. One mcst cruel case is at this moment recurring to us. A most respectable and excellent woman arrives, as an emigrant, with her husband. The wretch spreads a rumour that she is not his wife, abandons her to sorrow, want, and sicknes-, and marries another woman. He cannot be prosecuted, because the sufferer cannot be a witness in her own case, and no certificate she can bring will stand her in any stead in a court of law. So she perishes, and he escapes. The moral evidence is here most con vincing, but, against it, iniquity, or rather villany, triumphs. The case presented is no fiction ; it is a terrible reality, and it may be only one out of many." The case of bigamy to which we adverted is that of John Gerrie, who cruelly deserted his wife and child at Keith, in Banffshire, in July, 1854, and who, on arriving at Sydney .:bout the beginning of 1855, with a letter of introduction from the Rev. A. M`Gilivray, Free Church minister of Keith, to the Rev. A. Salmon, represented himself as an un married man. He gained the affections of a highly respectable young woman, named Jane Warren, and insinuated himself deeply into the good opinion and friendship of her relations. The result was a second marriage between him and Jane Warren, Ist August, 1855. His sultsequent treatment of this young person corresponds with his abandon ment of his first wife, Ann Lawrence, and his child. He is said to have behaved to her so as to compel her to leave him, and to seek a re fuge from his violence. Partly from the news paper report of the second marriaee, and partly from private correspondence, the Rev. Mr. M`Gilivray was led to furnish the information and extracts which were used in an unsuccessful attempt to avenge the injured second wife, by bring ng the villain, John Gerrie, to justice. Mr. M‘Gilivray's signature and handwriting, it should he mentioned, were properly attested by the Rev. Dr. Mlitty. The Sydney Empire, of April, 8, in an article on the state of the law in Australia, written in a manly feeling of indignation, saye in reference to this case of desertion and bigamy, " Partly to get this individual Gerrie prosecuted on a charge of bigamy, and partly to protect the young person who had been apparently victimised by him here against his pertinacious attempts to claim her as his wife, and to treat her injuriously, application was mad 9 to the Attorney-General, who was then Mr. Plunkett. His reply contains the following passage :—" I beg to state that, as the first step in a prosecution for bigamy is proof of the first mar riage, unless there be some witness iu the colony who was present at the ceremony, the charge could not be substantiated, so as to obtain a conviction and punishment." Without conviction of bigamy, therefore, the colonial law completely sets aside the legal marriage in Britain, and acknowledges as a legal marriage what is a highly criminal act, and prostitution of the forms of marriage to the most improper and guilty purposes. We say nothing of the want of protection for the rights and honour of female colonists, though that is bad enough—too bad, in deed, to be endured—but, by the same defect of law, or construction of the law, a respectable young person, already deeply injured by the bigamist, is left expo-ed to his persecutions without rearess or refuge in the tribunals. This state of things re flects great disgrace upon the mother count y itself. None of her colonies should be outside of the pale of civilisation, as Australia clearly is. The ft lends of the second wife did not rest satis fied with Mr. Plunkett's reply. They laid the ease and documentary proofs of the first marriage before Mr. Manning, the new Attorney-General, who remitted the following opinion :—" I have the honour to state, that it does not appear to me that proof of the handwriting of the Rev. Mr. M.Gilivray's certificate will be sufficient evidence . of the first marriage of John Gerrie, to enable you to proceed against Lim upon a criminal charge of bigmay. It is right however, I should state, that I conceive it will not bo proper for me to com municate further with you upon this subject. My duty as grand juror, is to act in somewhat of a judical character upon committals by justices of the peace ; and although as Attorney-General it is com petent for me to initiate criminal proceedings, this power is, and ought to be, reserved for rare and ex traordinary occasions." We infer, th,refore, that the crime of bigamy by im'nigrants who have de serted their wives in Britain, and under colour of marriage have debauched female colonists of respec tability, is neither rare nor ex'raordivary ; and also that the difficulty of bringing such villains as bigamists to justice in Australia, is as frequent as we thinly believe the crime to be. " There is every moral evidence," says the Sydney Empire, there is even, what in seine cases that could be named, would be legal evidence—there is legal evidence up to the point that a personal witness of the first marriage is not in Sydney, although the usually deemed competently attested documents are here. That the crime has been committed, and a heartless injury has been inflicted upon two in nocent women, nobody doubts. But the law does not provide for their protection, and they must suffer to the end of their days." They have very sufficient proof that Gerrie is the person named in Mr. M‘Gilivray's certificate of the marriage with Anne Lawrence, for he pre sented the letter of introduction to the Rev. Mr. Salmon, who is there to make oath to that effect, and they have Jane Warner to prove the pretended marriage with herself. What more can be necessary ? At a distance of ten thousand miles, these are the fire t and best proofs that can be had. But perhaps there is a colonial law on the subject of bigamy ; and it is comm onl y b e l ieved here that some of the legislators w ere ori g inall y like John Gerrie, leaving the mothe. children. convicts ; others, a gain, may have had reasons for r country, and, have deserted their wives and For them documentary evidence would have few recommend dations. But if they have made a disgraceful law, encouraging felony by preventing the punishment of it, as the code must have been submitted to the Imperial Legislature for its sanction, it will be competent for the Legislature to take the matter in hand, and amend a law which tends to introduce polygamy into a British colony.
