hence for New York ; oa the 16th the American

The New York Tribune states that
There la no essential variation in the money market. The
demand is • little more ecti ve,but &accent rates are still quoted
at the same figures ruling at close of last week, say from 1
to 2h per ornt. per mouth. The Bank statement shows a
handsome gain in coin, and the only adverse feature of the
market is the probability of a more active renewal of specie
shipments.
The figures of the took statement show much the same
features as that of the previous week, • large increase in the
specie end deposit lines. The accumulation of specie,
dots., is even larger than was generally anticipated,
and is likely to be Increased by foreign and Californian re.

millions of speci in addition to az sad • half millions of
state currency, which, in Clearing-house transactions, is
equivalent to spode. The point of contraction of loans sp-
peon, at last to here been turned, and, after leaning down
from 122,000000 dole. to 95,300,000 dole., the movement of
expension has recommenced. The Monism of the week
would have been larger hut fur the difficulty hank managers
find in obtaining offerings of satisfactory papa. Se-
veral of the bank, would have wilhngly extended
their line but fur the scarcity of such paper
se they considered it safe to discount. In depoats
the line continues to augment largely, the net in-
crease for the week being 4,572,000 dole. A larger propor-
tion than must Is individual, the beak balance, being very
much redwood. The circulation shows a small increase
again. Our banks are now abundantly strong enough to re-
sume epee's payments were it not for the suspended condi-
tion of the country banks. A few of them sin willing to
resume at once, but the rest consider their true policy to be
to await the gradual recuperation of the country, and not to
resume before the Ist of April nat. The comparison with
last week is am follows

The government has received intelligence front the
military post at Leavenworth to the effect that the
Mormons are calling in their people and making
preparations to resist the troops now on their way to
Utah, under command of Col. Johnston. There is
no doubt of the truth of this report. The breaking
up of the Mormon congregations in the Atlantic
States, the exodus of the Saints from Carson Valley,
the defiant speeches of the head men at Salt-Lake
City, and the thorough military organisation and
martial spirit that began at Nauvoo and is continued
in Utah—all confirm it. But there is little probabi-
lity of the Mormons currying their threats to the
extreme point of actual collision with the forces of
the federal government. In order, however, to be
prepared for even such a contingency, the adminis-
tration will, it is stated, direct Gen. Harney, now in
command of the troops in Kansas, to remain at Fort
Leavenworth; and in the event of hostilities, that
distinguished officer will be despatched, at the head
of a large force, to the scene of action.
General Walker has informed General Cass that

This was a prosecution by the Hon. Chas. Skeffing.
ton Clements, late M.P. for Leitrim, against Err.
Stewart Erskine Rolland, of the Army and Navy Club,
Pall-mall, for writing to Mr. Clements certain letters witk
the object of inciting him to commit a breach of the peace by
fighting a duel. When the rule came on for argument
during a preceding term, a verdict of guilty was entered by
consent.
Sir F. Thealger now moved the judgment of the court
upon the defendant.
Mr. H. Hill who appeared for the defendant, said he was
auchorieed by Ihim to exprese his regret at having %Mato;
the law, and to apologise to Mr. Clements for his conduct.
Under those cire—MatanCee, be (Mr. Hill) hoped the learned

had given rim to these proceedings. He (Sir F. Theeigeo
took on himself to make this &mond, and from a feeling of
what was due to Mr. Clements. He had therefore exacted
from Mr. Rolland a promiee that he would pay the roe*
and be proposed that the judgment of the court should not
be pronounced until he had satisfied that condition. Under
them circumstances, probably their lordehipe would allow
the matter to stand over.
Lord Campbell eked Mr. Hill if he wee contented?
Mr. Hill—Yes, my lord.
Lord Campbell—Then let the matter stand over.

QVCEN •. STIINCIA.-PROSICtTION POE ♦ PUBLIC

The defendants in this ears wen at the last Liverpocd
maims found guilty upon en indictment preferred against
them for carrying on certain shun worts .0 as to produce a
nuisance to the neighbourhood.
Mr. Wilde now moved the judgment of the court.
Sir F. Thesiger, wbo was retained on behalf of the de.
fendants, said it was suggested at the trial by his learned
friend that a couno could be adopted to altogether
remedy the nuisance. Since the trial the defendants
had acted upon the suggestion and removed entirety any
ground of complaint in respectl of the works, but as the
arrangements had only been completed very recently, his
learned friend 'aid the prosecutors had not yet had any
opportunity of considering whether they were satisfactory
or not. In order that they might have such en oppottnnity,
he (Sir F. Theeiger) proposed that the defendants should
enter Into recognises= to come up next term.
Mr. Wilde thought that was a most reasonable course.
Judgment deferred accordingly.

THZ 411:ZZY O. OTAPTLTON.-:THE ROYAL DILITIPH BASIL.
Sir F. Kelly said he mowed, on the part of Mr. Stapyltony
fora rule to elbow cause why the trial on this information
should not be stayed undl after Hilary Term. He under-
stood that the one, as it now MOW, Would coma on for trial
about the 4th or sth of December, in London
The Learnedhidge said the first day of the London iittiags
waa the 9th of December.

Sir F. Kelly—Then, the cue will come no about that time.
I think I shall be able to show your lordships such a state-
ment of the nature of the cue, that it would be utterly int-
posailde for the gentleman for whom I ni ive to prepare his
defence by ts early a period u a fortnight or three week'
hence.
Lord Campbell—l do not think it will be necersary for you
to enter into the meri.s of the case. If the affidavit. show
that this gentleman cannot possibly be prepared to take hie
trial so won, it is very likely the other side will agree to •
postponement.
Sir F. Kelly—l am very much obliged to your lordships.
Then I eriU not enter into the facts.
Lord Campbell—You had better abstain from doing so.
Sir F. Kelly—There is a great quantity of books and 14,
counts to look through.
Lord Campbell—Take • rule.
Cause to be shown on Wednesday, the last day of Term.
