MONEY HABKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Business in the general discount market con-
tinues quiet, and although as easier feeling is ma-
nifested the rates denote firmness. As, however,
the commercial community are enabled to negotiate
first class bills at 4.1 per cent. the inquiries at the
Bank of England, where 5 per cent. is required,
have been very much reduced.
During the last few days there has been very
little activity in the markets for Foreign and Colo-
nial Produce. Tea continues in fair request, with-
out any a3teration in prices. Sugars, however, were
at full rates, as also good and fine descriptions of
coffee. Rice, fruit, and spices have been in limited
favour at previous rates ; while the tallow market
has been somewhat influenced by the late advices
from Russia, P.Y.C. on the spot being steady at
445. 9d., and last three months' delivery 463. 9d.

The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap-
pointed Monday next for a specibl s(Atlement in
the shares of the British and American Exchange
Banking Corporation, and dealings are to be
recorded in the official lists; and of the Metro-
politan Cab and Conveyance Co., which is not to
be marked.
There is an increase of £BlO in the traffic re-
ceipts of the Brighton Railway, and of 1733 on
the South Eastern, for the past week.
The ordinary meeting of the Great Ship Company
has been cJnvened for the 27th inst.

Two O'CLOCK.
Paris Rentes were at 12.43 this day (says Reuter's
telegram) 70f. 70c.—firm.

Shortly after the commencement of business this
morning, sales were effected, which led to a decline
of about per cent., Consols then being 921 1 for
transfer and 924 for the account. Since then,
however, purchases have again preponderated, and
the quotations have recovered to 921 I, and 92,1 I
respectively. Although a little adverse fluctuation
may sometimes occur when sales are pressed, the
general condition of the market must be considered
as satisfactory. The New Three per Cents. and the
Reduced are steady at 92: ; Exchequer Bills,
ls. dis. to 3s. pni.; Bank Stock remains at 238;
India ditto, 227 and 229 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Loan
1081.
The transactions in the Foreign Market have
been very circumscribed, and prices have continued
depressed. Tarkish 6 per Cents., 1854, have re-
ceded to 891 ; do.. 1858, 721 :; do., 1862, 681 1 ;
and the Consolides, 41/ 1. Egyptian are firm at

New Loan, 47 ; Russian do., 93: 941 ; Spanish
Passive are 261 1; and the Certificates 9: 10.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been limited, and prices generally have been de-
pressed. South Easterns have receded about £1 to
£1 55.; London and Blackwall, £1; and North
Western, South Western, Midlands, and North
Eastern (Berwick), 53. Lancashire and Yorkshire
however, improved 55.; and Great Northern and
Brighton, 10s.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings con-
tinued fiat. Great Luxembourg realised 15: ;
Bahia and San Francisco, 20: 20: ; and South
Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian improved to 23:.
East Indian realised 1061; Great Indian Penin-
sula, 1051.
Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares re-
mained without any material change in prices.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.)
(Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Special Jury.)
RUSSELL V. A.DAMS.---EREACII OP PROMISE.
The Lord Chia naron summed up the evidence this
morning, at the conclusion of which the jury retired to
consider their verdict. They had not returned into Court
when we went to press.
At two o clack the jury returned into court and informed
the learned judge that they could not agree.
The Lord Chief Baron said he was one of those
who thought it a disgrace to human nature that
juries should be starved into giving a verdict,
yet he felt that as they had not been engaged an unusual
time in considering their verdict, it might yet be possible
for them to come to some conclusion if they gave the factssome
further consideration. The learned judge then recapitulated
the leading points of the evidence, and remarked it was for
them to say whether the plaintiff had proved her case to
their satisfaction; if not, it then became their duty to
return a verdict for the defendant.
The jury then again retired, and, in about 20 minutes,
returned into court.
In answer to the usual question whether they were
agreed,

The Foreman said As the plaintiff has not made out her
case to our entire satisfaction, we of necessity find a verdict
for the defendant.

There was a slight attempt at cheering, but it was in
scantly suppressed.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
DAVIES
(BefDAVIESore Sir C.
AN Creswell, Judge Ordinary )
V. D RD-GRES—A CLANDESTINE MAR-
RIAGE IN TILE EITCREN.
This was a suit for a dissolution of marriage promoted by
the husband against his wife on the ground of adultery
with the co-respondent.

The marriage took place in May,lB4l, the petitioner and
the respondent at that time being in the service of Mr.
Pressland, living at Cosford, Staffordshire, as valet and
cook respectively. The marriage was without the know-
ledge of the master, but they continued to live there until
the year 1846, when for some unassigned reason the peti
tioner left Mr. Pressland's service, and entered that of Mr.
Ogers, in Bedford-place. The respondent remained at her
Place, and the co-respondent, William Hughes, succeeded
the petitioner as valet. An intimacy ensued between
Hughes and Mrs. Davies, which resulted in the birth of a
child, of which Hughes was the father.
This morning the Judge Ordinary gave judgment for the
petitioner, and the decree 211.81 was therefore granted.
