AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Business continues very active in the general
discount market, and as 6 per cent. is the lowest
rate the icquiries at the Bank have increased.
Several unfavourable alterations are exhibited in
the Bank of England return. There is a falling off
in the reserves of notes and bullion consequent
upon a demand for both from the agricultural dis-
tricts, a brisk commercial inquiry, and large ex-
ports of gold. The repayment of loans has caused
a considerable reduction in the other securities.
Annexed are the particulars—

The Bank of France return, on the contrary, is
on the whole satisfactory. There is an increase of
£116,000 in the bullion ; £BOO,OOO in the Treasury
balances, and of £BOO,OOO in the current accounts.
The other items show a diminution of £1,115,000
in the discounts, of £48,000 in the advances, and of
£176,000 in the rotes.

At the meeting of the Midland Banking Com.
1361°Y• held this day—Mr H. Et.. Hankey in the chair
--the report, which was unanimously adopted,
recommended the payment of a dividend at the rate
of 5 per cent, per annum free of income tax.
At the half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of
the Alliance Bank to-day—Mr J. N. Daniel in the
chair—the report, which was adopted, recommended
the payment of a dividend of 10 per cent. on the
paid up capital of the company in the proportion in
which it has been called up, viz , 255. per share
on the 20,000 original shares, and 12s. 6d. per share
on the 10,000 new shares.

The Unio❑ Bank of Ireland held its third ordis
nary meeting of shareholders to-day. The report,
which was adopted, recommended a dividend of
10s. per share, free of income tax (being rather
more than 4; per cent, per annum).
The shares of the Robertsfors Iron Works
Company were in demand at 1 prem., and closed at
li prem.

At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 15c.
The English Stock Market has shown symptoms
of further depression this morning. The Funds
have declined another per cent., which, with the
that occurred yesterday, gives a fall of fi per cent.
within two days. The cause now operating ad•
versely against the firmness of quotations is the
idea that money will become dearer through the
unfavourable specie movement to the Continent.
Consols for money are 901 ; and for the account,
90t 4 ; the New Threes and Reduoed Annuities are
89i ; and India 5 per Cents., 1041 ; India Stock
is 215.

Foreign Stocks have not varied to any material
extent, but prices tend downwards. Turkish 6 per
Cents., 1862, are 701; do. Consolides 501 ;
Mexican, 28/ 291 ; do. New, 26} ; Greek 241 i;
Spanish Passive, 281 f ; Portuguese, 481 ;
671 d ; and the Confe&rate Loan, 76 77.
A flatter tone has prevailed in the Railway Share
Market, and prices have in several instances given
w4Y. Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire,
Great Eastern, and North Western have declined
52.; Brighton, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln,
arid Midland, 10s. ; South Eastern, 15s. ; and Furth
Eastern (Berwick), LI.
Ia the Foreign and Colonial lines there has been
little or no change of importance.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in some in-
Stanees rather flatter. London and Westminster
have declined to 1001 ; Metropolitan, to 271 4 ;
London Joint Stock, to 511 ; Crystal Palace Stock,
to 33.1.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF DIVORCE.

LEY V. LEY AND JORDEN.

This was a suit instituted by Captain Ley, the son of a
gentleman who held a situation as clerk in the House of
Commons, for a divorce, on the ground of his wife's
adultery with the corespondent, who had formerly been
member of a firm of solicitors, and who was represented
to be a person of considerable means, and occupying
a London residence in Curzon-street. The parties were
married in 1853 and cohabited until February last, when the
eloped with the co-respondent, with whom she beoame ac
quainter] about five years ago while she and her husband
were living at Dulwich with his mother, Lady Francis
Lay. Letters were put in from the respondent and co-re-
spondent, which lett no doubt as to their criminality, and
the wife expressed herself deeply gratified for the
kindness she had received from her husband from
the time of their marriage down to the time wbea she de-
serted him. Ir w:is also proved that this Mr Gordon had
occupied the same bed at an hotel and a lodging-hc,use at
Thames Ditton. Several witnesses were called to prove
that the petitioner and his wife lived on terms of mutual
aff,ction.

Dr Dean, Q C., addressed the court for mitigation of
damages, anal said that tha co-respondent was in reduced

circumstances.
The learned judge having summed up the jury retired,
and had not delivered their judgment when we went to
press.
WELLS V. COTTAM, FALSELY CALLED WELLS AND WELLS.

.

the ground of the undue publication of banns. It was pre-
sented by the father of the alleged husband against hie son

the allegations in the petition.
Mr. M. Chambers, Q C., and Dr. Spinks appeared for the
petitioner ; Dr. Wambey and Mr. Reynolds for the respon-
dent.
