PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

The debate on the address in the Senate was begun
this afternoon by Baron Dupin, who said nothing
important down to the time of the latest report.
It continues to be given out that the discussion is
not likely to be long or animated. The members
of both houses distinctly understand that the Em-
peror wishes them to restrain their eloquence this
year. At present only three senators, Cardinals
Donnet and Mathieu, and General Gemeau, have
put down their names on the Roman ques-
tion. Whether Prince Napoleon has been
peremptorily ordered to be silent is not yet
known. The Marquis de Lavalotto, late
French Ambassador at Rome, who had a
violent altercation in committee with General de
Goyou, did certainly threaten to make a clean
breast of it, but the rumour goes that the Emperor
laid to a cabinet minister, " Make your mind easy,
Lavalette will not speak."
K Barthe, senator, First President of the
Court of Account. and a Grand Cross of the Legion
of Honour, died yesterday at the age of 68. He
was one of the few really eminent men under
former governments who rallied to the empire.
M. Bertha was a first-rate leader of the bar in the
time of the restoration—he took a leading part
in the events which preceded the fall of
the elder branch of the Bourbons, and his
signature appears at the foot of the celebrated pro-
teet of the journalists of July 26, 1890. He was
Minister of Justice under Casimir Perier, in 1831,
and held the office until 1834, when he was ap-
pointed first president of the Court of Accounts
and raised to the peerage. In 1837 he again be-
came Minister of Justice in Count Moles ministry,
but after the overthrow of that cabinet by the
coalition, he returned to the Court of Accounts,
where (with a short interruption during the republic
of 1848) he remained ever since. He made himself
remarkable in the Senate last year, by a vehement
speech against Prince Napoleon, and in favour of
the Pope's temporal power.
Admiral Julien de la Graviere has resigned his
command of the fleet off Mexico, and it is said
that he embarked at Vera Cruz, on the sth inst.,
for France.

M. de Isturitz is tube the new Spanish ambassador
in Paris. He is SO years old, but very well preserved.
He is well known in London, where he has been
ambassador three times.

The Bourse was weak at the opening, but it
being reported that the Bank of France will not
raise its discount this week, the Rents recovered to
yesterday's dosing prices. Mobilier rose llfr. 25c.;
and railways were from Mr. 50c. to Mr. higher.
The Daily News is seized.
A Paris letter, in the Noueelliste of Rouen, says :

M. Moonier, who has just been appointed preceptor to the
Prince Imperial, will, it is mid, receive a salary of B,ooofr. •
year, besides board and lodgings. It appears that the Em-
peror, reserving to himself the supreme direction of his
eon's education, has drawn up • programme, similar to that
traced by Prince Albert for the Prince of Wales. His Ha-
'say is mid to have had s few copies of it printed for dis-
tribution among the members of the imperial family.'

Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress ho-
noured the benefit of Mdlle. Patti last night with
their presence at the Italian Opera. The chef-
d'auvre of Mozart, Don Giovanni, was selected for
the occasion, the young prima donna singing Zer-
lina for the first time. After the performance their
Majesties paid the fair artiste the compliment of
summoning her to the imperial loge, and congratu-
lated her on this new success. Though the prices
of admission were doubled, the theatre was crowded
to mess.

The Levant Herald of the 21st says :—" Sir Henry
B•leer had a long private en/liars of the Sultan on Satur-
day. On Sunday his Majesty parented his excellency with
two magnificent Arab bones, said to be amongst the very
first iu the imperial stables. Mehemet Ptah*, the new
Grand Admiral, who arrived by the French steamer on
Saturday, was received the rme evening in • private
audience by the Sultan, and remained for four hone with
his Majesty, giving a detailed description of the present
state and organisation of the British navy, with the con-
dition of which his Exoellency is very intimately acquainted,
as well by his recent as by former careful inspections of the
royal dockyards and vessels of all classes in the home
pow
A certain number of Neapolitan refugees (Reae-
tio•aaires) had the honour of being invited to the ball given
by the Empress Eugenie on Monday night last. They were,
it is said, not much surprised, agreeably or otherwim, sad
of course accepted the invitation. The Emperor ommemsd
with them for some time, and was particular in his inquiries
about the King. Prime Napoleon was not Front. He excused
himself on the gronod that he, the son-in-law of Victor
Emmanuel, Bing of Italy. could not well meet persons who
still regarded King Francis as Bing of the Two Sicilia, and
who wore on their breasts crosses and stars gives by him

The No►d says :—" General ilaynau, who not
long sines took part in theaffalrs of Electoral BMW, sad who
had been dismissed from his functions in cousiiqueues of an

We (Gatignani) understand that Mr. Paul
Morphy has positively declined to play the match proposed
with M. Kollosh, his intention being to 'brain from all

WISZVAN AND ♦BOTH= V. NAVVOZ.—PARTNEESHIP

Mr. M. Chambers said that the defendant bad bees •
partner in the firm of Landon and Raton, and be
was now sued upon 'a bill for SOU, accepted in the
partnership name. It seabed that there was a
provision in the deed of partnership that landau
should not accept bills for the firm, but contrary
to this he had accepted the bill in question, and not for the
partnership but for hia own private purposes. Another
circumstance was that the plaintiffs were honk fide holden
for value, and they had taken the bill without any .know-
ledge of the facts above mentioned. The case was tried
before Mr. Justice Byles • few days ago, when the verdict
warn for the plaintiffs subject to the opinion of the court.
The learned counsel now moved for a rule to enter a
verdict for the defendant, and submitted that
as Landon was prohibited by the partnership
deed from accepting bills, his act amounted to
a forgery inasmuchuit was a false making of an instru-
ment with intent to cheat and defraud his partner ; and
further that the bill, having been drawn and accepted en.
tirely de hors the partnership purposes, was not the bill of
Mr. Barton, the defendant. in conclusion the learned
counsel added that it was not only this 500 f. bill which was
in question, for Landon had accepted bills in the partner.
ship name to a great amount.
The Lord Chief Justice said that they would speak to
Mr. Justice Bylaw upon the subject.

Molyeeux, a Liverpool rate-collector, bad been married

and afterwards in Manchester. The respondent's habits
became very drunken, and she ultimately left her husband's

tioner's intimater, that she Geoid then do as she liked.
Since the separation she had been taken in the fact.
Decree nisi, with costs.
COOLS S. COOL! (mina).
Dr. Spinks and Mr. Murphy for the petitioner ; the Queen's
Advocate and Mr. /Lapland for the respoodeat.
This snit, which was one for • judicial separation on the
ground of cruelty, was brought by Mrs. Frances Judith
Cooke, wife of the Rev. James Young Cooke, rector of
Seymour, nearlpswich. The pleas in defence were • denial,
a justification, condonation, and undue delay in presenting
the petition.
The parties were married in the year 1835, and they
bad had 11 children, of which six sons and three daughters
survived. The respondent was stated to be a gentleman of
considerable wealth, besides being the patron of his rectory.
The petitioner said—My maiden name was Briggs, and
my father was a fellow of Eton. My youngest child is about
twelve ran old. I had often had unkind language from
Mr. Cooke even before IBSL In the September of that
year I paid a visit, with my husband's permission, to my
sister, Mrs. Richards, at Wootton Courteuay, Soutereetahire
and remained with her till the 12th of January, 1852, who:
I came back. Mr. Cooke treated me with unkindness. In the
following winter I first experienced personal violence from
him. He rubbed me violently in the mouth with his hand.
This was is the drawing-room at the rectory. On the 10th
of Feb., 1853, after having been very angry for some time •
previous, he followed me into my dreseing-room and forced me
down in a chair, with my head against the wall. He
pressed me violently and hurt my face. His language was
very violent, but I cannot remember hie words. After 1 4
was in bed Mr. Cooke dragged me across it and kept me ie
such a painful position that I could warmly move or
breathe for an hour's time. Part of that time, I believe, be
was asleep; and eventually I managed somehow to extricate
myself. The next morning Mr. sod Mrs. Richards came
for me, in order to take me away, for they know that my
husband had previously been behaving ill to me. We
went first to Mr. Charles Stuart's, of Thurston Lodge,
Richmond ; then for a few days to London, and then to
Somenetehire. I did not return to Seymour till the 12th
May. 1 cannot recollect how my husband received me; but
in • few days he was as bad as ever. le the following October
my mother died, and I soon afterwards came into
of some separate property. We had differences a=ithaT.
In Felintaryaaalettis4, a paper was put into my hands about it
bY dsaglaar, Eliabeth Susan. In that
west to Dr. Wines at Colchester. Mn,
gtine is a deter of the respondent's. My hothead
drove me and my two daughters over in a dog-cart.
We returned with one of my daughters the same night. Be-
fore we got out of Colchester my husband struck me on the
Laos with the handle of his whip, and he sated the blow
several times before we got home, and he pushed me
backwards so that I could scarcely keep my seat
in the cart. He also struck me on the hands
with the handle of his whip. He was very irritable, said
made use of violent language. In the following August 1
wens with his permission to visit my sister Lady Simon. I
returned about the end of the next month. On the day I
came home, or the day after, my husband told me that I
was not to resume the keys or the house-keeping. He
gave the house-keeping to my eldest daughter, and put her
at the bead of the table. She was at that ine 16 yews
of age. In October, while we had company staying at the
rectory, he was very violent with me one night because I had
ordered some eandles into the house. He rubbed my faosand
hurt rue very much. The next moron ift I left the room while
he was in bed, end went to my daughten. When I
returned, I found that he had locked my dressing-room
door, and taken away the key. My clothes were all in
the dressing-room, and therefore I could not go down to
breakfast. I went back to my daughters' room and stayed
in their bed. I sent one of the servants to leak my husband
for the key ; but he did not let me have it till
the middle of the day. One night in November I went to
my daughters' room to speak to them and bid them good
night, and when I went to my own room Mr. Cooke had
locked me out. I passed the night with my daughters.
The next night I slept with my husband, but I believe
he was asleep when I went to bed. His language
and conduct were very unkind, and he began to say that I
was not tit to live downstairs with the family. I there-
fore lived in Miss White, my governess's room, for a forte
night. Mr. Cooke sent the children to ask me why I did
not return to my room at night I answered,
that as long as I was not properly treated downstairs
I should sot sleep with him. I was allowed to go down in
order to walk out, and one day Mr. Cooke came to me and
said that if I would go beck to hie room I should live down-
stairs again. I refused for some time, and said I ought to
be allowed to live downstairs before I returned to his room ;
but eventually I gave way. He treated me quietly for some
little time. On the 28th of January, 1855, my husband
attacked me violently in bed, so that my memos brought
my two eldest daughters and some ol the amid servants
to our bedroom door. He bad pushed a out of
bed and hurt me in different ways. My daughters
wanted to get me out of the room, but Mr. Cooke refused to
let me go ; but eventually I did get away, and I went to mygoverness', room. On the sth of February I came to town
to visit my friends, and from thence I went to Somerset..
shire. I returned home to Seymour on the 12th of May ;
and I was then informed that a separate room
had been prepared for ma. I took my meals with the
family, but was net allowed any proper place at table. To-
wards the end of May I was again domed to live upstairs
entirely. The respondent said I should not interfere or give '
orders about his children's clothes. I remained upstairs till
the 29th June, whoa Mr. Wyld and Mr. Jocelyn (a solicitor
of Ipswich) came to Seymour. My husband came to me
that morning, and brought me luncheon. He told
me to keep in the way that &Bemoan. I was soon after-
wards sent for to go downsatirs. At luncheon there was a
long consultation between, us all. Mr. Wyld said I ought
not to live upstairs any imager, and Mr. Cooke opted that 1
should come down. At denser Mr. Wyld gave roe his arm,
and led roe to the top of the table. Mr.Wyld is dead. For
some weeks my husband treated me much better.
On September 14 he task offence at me again and said
that I had been interfering in the house again. He told
me that I should tio longer keep at the bead of the table,
and drove me rudely from the room in the presence of Miss
White. I was never allowed to resume my place spin at
the head of the table.
[Mrs. Cooke was still giving her evidence when we went
to prem.]

given by the National Choral Society in about a fortnight's
time.

Mr. Rimmed has this day brought out some
tasteful valentines, made from natural flowers, and having
an agreeable perfume. This is a novelty which sweethearts
MD soareely overlook.

A memorial, signed by thirty members of the
British Chamber of Commerce of Shanghais, had been for-
warded to Earl Rumen, drawing attention to further no-
striations which the Chinese government seek to impose
epos their treaty privileges, viz., in the alterations
now being made in the regulations of trade on the Yang•tze-
king nver, sad the limitation of the right to resort to
She interior for the purposes of trade. They conclude with
expressing their opinion that "a firm and decided tone in
demanding all privileges acoorded to the British nation by
the late treaty of Tien-fain will best preserve that pesos
which all clams, and more especially merchant', are so
amities to maintaia."

MONEY RARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLocir.

The stock markets to-day exhibit renewed
strength, owing to the character of the Bank return,
which is held to denote that the recent rise in the rate
of discount must be regarded as in the main merely
a precautionary measure. The funds have risen
per cent. Must of the principal home railway
stocks have improved, and in the foreign stock
market the tendency of prices is upwards, particu-
larly as regards Turkish securities.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at
69fr. 80c., being Sc. better than yesterday.
Consols are now quoted 921 to for money, and
924 to f# for the account (Feb. 6). The official
business report is as follows :—Three per
Cent. Consols, for money, 924, 4, 92, 4,
4; ditto for account, 924, 4; Three per Cents.
Reduced, 924, 4; New Three per Cents., 924, 4,
; India Stock, 229, 230 ; ditto Five per Cent.
Stock, 1084, 108 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures,
994 ; ditto Bonds, 104. prem. ; Five-and-Half per
Cent. " enfaced" rupee paper, 1124 ; and Ex-
chequer Bills, Is., 3s. prem.
Foreign stocks are firm, with an upward ten-
dency. The principal feature is a rise off per
Cent, in Turkish Consolid6s, owing to the tele-
graphic news from Constantinople that the Sultan has
signed the firman for the new bank. The
Turkish loans of 1858 and 1862, the new Vene-
zuelan Loan, Italian Five per Cents, Spanish
Certificates, and New Granada Land Warrants, are
allbetter. Spanish Passive Bonds continue in demand.
Greek and Mexican are steady. Some of the present
quotations are annexed :—Turkish 1854 Loan, 854
to 86 ; ditto, 1858, 70 to ; ditto, 1862, 661 to
674; ditto Consolida, 414 to 4; Venezuela
Six per Cents., 61 to 4; Portuguese scrip,
21 to 3 prem. ; and the Peruvian Loan, 86 to 87.
Transactions are recorded as follows:—Brazilian,
1852, 1858, 1860, 93 ; Egyptian, 964; Greek, 171,
4, 4 ; ditto Coupons, 7,4; French, 69fr.
75c. ; Italian, 694 ; ditto for account,
694, 4; Mexican, 32f ; New Granada,
291 ; ditto Lead Warrants, bf, 6 ; ditto ex
overdue Coupons and Hectares, 13/ ; Russian,
98 ; ditto, 1862, 95} ; Spanish Passive, 264,
4, 4 ; ditto Certificates, 101; Turkish, 1868, 701 ;
ditto for account, 711; ditto 1862, 661, f, 67 ;
ditto for account, 67 ; ditto Guaranteed, 1034 ;
Venezuela, 1862,614, 61.
. . .

Owing to the announcement of the signing of the
firnian for the establishment of the new National
Bank, Ottoman Bank shares have been in demand
to-day, and the new shares have been dealt in at
9/, or 7* prem.

Form o'CLovir.
Consols are firm, at 92k to for money, and
92k to I for the account.
Not the slightest agitation is observable in the
discount market, and the supply appears to be ade-
quate to all requirements, but a somewhat un-
settled feeling having been occasioned by the recent
rapid action by the Bank of England, not much
disposition is shown at the moment to take even
choice bills below the Bank minimum. The appli-
cations at that establishment yesterday, however,
were upon only a very moderate scale.
No gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday
for exportation. A limited portion of the 273,0001.
from America by the Asia and City of Washington
has been taken for abroad, and the rest is also ex-
pecteil to be purchased, but perhaps at lower prices.
The effect of the rise in the Bank of England rate
of discount is to check withdrawals of gold from
that establishment, but the supplies from America
and Australia will probably be sent away as fast es
they come to hand.
The silver market is flat, at se. lad. per ounce for
bars, owing to an impression that the coming Mex-
ican packet will bring a large remittance, combined
with the continued drawing of government bills on
India. Mexican dollars are quoted as high as
ss. 50. to be. &L., but there is little or no business
doing in them, in the absence of supplies.
The Great Western Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of 1,9861. over last year ; the
Midland an increase of 2,2531. ; the Great North-
ern
an increase of 7571. ; the London and South
Western, an increase of 2,6981. ; the Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, an increase of 7571. ;
and the Lancashire and Yorkshire, an increase of
1,2161.
The following is the first report of the directors
of the Imperial Bank (Limited) to be submitted at
the general meeting on the sth Feb.:—
The directors have much pleasure in availing themselves
'of this the earliest opportunity afforded them to present to
the shareholders, for the fist time, a report of the state
'tad pragre of the beak for the half year ending 31st De-
esker La. The shareholders are aware that the beak
was opened for bagasse in June, 1862 ; and it is satisfactory
to the directors to state that it was at once evident, from
the amount of substantial support received from their
friends and the public, that the mews of the undertaking
was assured. In consequence of the low value of moray
during the greater part of the period that the bank has bees
in operation, it could eeareeiy be expected that any coasider-
able profit would be reeved ; but it will he gratifying be
the proprietors to observe, from the annexed taleame
sheet, that • grow profit of 5,0444 has bees stay
whilst all the current expensee—which in a new un-
dertaking, it must be remembered, are dispratiomahly
heavy—have bees paid, leaving • balance of 1,6811. 13s. &I
net profit, to be carried forward to the new account. The
directors think it may not be out of place to &ties that
their primary object has been not so much to realise large
immediate profits as to oxidant the affairs of the bank on
sound and side principles, so as to secure public confidence,
which they know is emeatial for the continued prosperity of
the undertaking. The capital of the bank cm let July was
70,0004 ,• by a second call, payable on 11th October, it wee
increased to 100,0001. A third cell, which is due 'Atha
end of the present numtb, will further literal', k
150,0001. The legitimate banking business now transmuted
renders at least this amount of capital necessary to meet
the requirements of the establiehment. The preliminary
expenses, including proveroaal office rent, adverted''',
registratioo, solicitor's bill, and every other item, amount
to 4.3651. Is. 11d. The premises, as they stand, east
22,4381., "including furniture, fixtures, safer, Ac. The
upper portion is now let at • rental of 8251. per estrum .
which gives a return of nearly 4 per cent. on the cost price
of the building, and the bank has only to bear the ground
rest.
With reference to the market for American
securities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as
follows:
Since our last, the rate of exchange at New York has ad.
winced 13 per cent. ; this of course has caused a reduction in
value of American securities in the London market. It
affects, however, chiefly Suites Stock and Bonds, and the
hoods of such railroads as do not provide the interest and
principal payable in sterling or its eqinvalent ; hence we see
New York Central Seven per Cent. (1864) fiat at 65, whilst
Atlantic sad Great Western are steady at 70. Railroad
shares have not suffered to any material extent, as the price
in New York has about kept pace with the premium on
gold.
The following is Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and
Co.'s report of yesterday's hide sales :
At the seeped series of bide sales for the year there was a
fair attendant,e of buyers, but only • moderate demand was
generally experienced.
Fast ledia.—Ox and Cow : Oalcutta, of middling to fair
quality, were in steady demand, but common descriptions
did not meet with so much inquiry, and sold irregularly at
about last sale's prices. There was a fair export demand.
Madras, Pondicherry, dc., brought late rates. The analysis
of the sales is 150,216 new parcels, 8,508 brought forward
from former sales, and 2,078 Madras, Pondicherry, ho. ; in
all, 180,802 hides, of which 116,730 were sold.
East 18416—Buffalo were in limited request, and in some
instances sold at rather lower prior
Leather. —East Indian sold fairly. Australian was in good
demand.
Salted Hides.—Ault alias were in limited request at about
last sales' prior. Ospe were in fair demand. South American
were chiefly weed. West Indian bought in.
Dry and Drysalterl—Manritins were chiefly bought in.
Horse Hides.—South American were dull of sale.
Misoellineoes.—Bark : Mimosa was fairly competed for.
Valonea.—Osly the damaged lots were sold.
The return of the Bank of England for the week

for the previous week, shows the following changes :
