About £95,000 in gold was taken to the Bank to-
day, and 65,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for
transmission to the East.
Coupled with the present appearance of the foreign
exchang,Ps, the Bank return published this evening
tends to confirm the expectation that the discount
Market will remain without fluctuation to the end

bul-
ion raubi-, be attributed to the natural retlux of the
home circulation usual at this period.

Although the demand for speeie for the Conti-

as the Continental rates of discount are still in

soon be followed by a renewal of withdrawals.

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The diminished exportation of specie and the im-
provement exhibited in the Bank of England re-
turn have produced an easier reeling in the Money
Market; but up to the present time no alteration
has taken place in the terms for the negotiation of
commercial securities.

The Bank of England return for the week
ending -Wednesday last is of a more satisfactory
Character than was generally anticipated. The
most important movements are an increase in the
bullion and the notes, and a falling off in the circu-
ti". There is also an augmentation to the other
Securities. Subjoined are the particulars :

there has been rather more animation during the
last few days, Sugars have been at slightly en-
hanced prices, while coffee, cocoa, rice, fruit, and
spices have fully maintained previous rates. In

LA W---THIS DAY.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.)
FOSTER V. FOSTER AND BERRIDGE.

This was a petition presented by the husband, a Major
n the Indian Army, for dissolution of his marriage on the
ground of adultery committed by the respondent with the
co-respondent Berridge, who ' was manager of Meux's
brewery, at the corner of Tottenham-court-road. Damages
were laid at £lO,OOO.

The respondent denied the adultery, and pleaded cruelty,
wilful desertion, and general conduct conducing to the com-
mittal of adultery. The co•respondont also denied the alle-
gations to the petition.

The respondent, according to the opening statement of
counsel, in the year 1856 arrived in this country from India
for the benefit of her health, and also for the education of
three of her children, and took apartments in Bloomsbury-
square. Some time after it was alleged she became ac-
quainted with the co-respondent, and an adulterous inter-
course took place, the result ( f which was the birth of a
child.

A number of witnesses were examined, but their evidence
merely proved the marriage, and the terms upon which
Major Foster and his wife lived while in India. One
of whom, however, a nutse, said she had very
frequently seen Mr. Berridge at Mrs. Foster's
lodgings. She knew it was that gentleman, because
she had before been engaged at a house in Russell-
street, Bloomsbury, the back windows of which looked
into the brewery, and she had frequently seen him going in.
The case will last at least two or three days.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE LITMLEY.-lIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

This day was appointed for last examination and dis-
charge, but the assignees (represented by Messrs. Link-
later), required further accounts, and an adjournment took
place till the 21st January, at three.
The cases during the morning were unimportant,

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

HOUSIBREAKEKS DISTURBED.—CharIes Erwood, a
well-known cznvicted thief, was charged before Mr. Knox
with loitering in Fitzroy-square for the purpose of com-
mitting a felony.
Outred, a constable of the E division, said that about two
that morning be was in Fitzroy-square with another con-
stable, both being in plain clothes, when he saw the pri-
soner and another man looking down the areas. Catching
sight of them (the officers) they made off down London-
street, and back again to Fitzroy-square. While standing
by the inclosure of the same street he (Outred) heard a
crash of glass and saw the prisoner from a doorway, and
then went up and secured him. On asking him what
he was doing the prisoner replied, " It's all right. You
can only make a drag (three months) of it. I have not
got the - screws (keys). What the others are doing
is nothing to me." He (Outred) with the assistance of the
officers had examined the houses in the direction of which
the prisoner ran, but could not find any appearance of a
window having been broken.

Police-constable, 41 E, having corroborated the other
constable, Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner.
THE CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND CAUSING
THE DEATH OF A CRILD.—The young woman, Jane
Hunt, described as a needlewoman, chargedwithattempting
to commis suicide by drowning herself in the Serpentine,
and also with causing the death of her child by drowning,
was again brought before Mr. Knox.

The prisoner, it may be remembered, was rescued by
Parsons, the chief boatman of the Royal Humane Society,
and taken to the receiving-house, and from what she after-
wards told him he dragged the Serpentine and found the
body of a male child.

A nurse at St. George's Workhouse said that the pri-
soner was constantly under her care, and on the first day
she was in the house she asked for her baby on two dif-
ferent occasions. On asking her if she had any friends,
she said, "None but her father," and she declined to say
who or where he was. She gave the witness to under-
stand that the baby was dead. She spoke to the prisoner
about Cheltenham, and she said she once had an aunt there.
On one occasion she told the prisoner there was a child in
the dead-house, if she would like to see it, and she said she
would not.

Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner that the police might
institute inquiries to ascertain the prisoner's parents.

THAMES.

TEA ROBBERY IN THE LONDON DOCK.—Jobe Page,
an occasional labourer in the London Dock, was brought
before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing 41bs. of tea from a
warehouse in the dock.

Yesterday afternoon, a dock watchman named Thomas
Slater, noticed the prisoner on the south quay looking very
bulky, and felt his coat. At the same time Slater said to
the prisoner you have got something, to which the prisoner
replied, " I have got some tea." Slater said you must
come with me, on which the prisoner took a bag of tea out
of his pocket and th ew it into the dock basin. A man
named Henry Hobson immediately procured the drags,
and at the first dip secured the bag, which contained 41bs.
of tea.

John George, a constable in the service of the London
Dock Company, said there was a box in the tea shed which
appeared to have been broken open, and three or four
lbs. of tea gone from it. The prisoner had been employed
in the dock occasionally for some time past.
The prisoner admitted he stole the tea. He pleaded
poverty, and begged of the magistrate to be merciful. He
was very sorry for what he had done.

Mr. Selfe—Do you plead guilty, or do you prefer going
for trial,

The prisoner—I plead guilty, sir.
Mr. Selfe said he could not pass over such a serious
offence as this with a light punishment. He sentenced the
prisoner to be imprisoned for three months and kept to hard
labour.

MARK-LANE.

The supply of English wheat on sale here, to-day, was
small, and the condition of most samples was by no means
satisfactory. Dry qualities changed hands slowly, at late
rates; but damp parcels were very dull, and almost nominal
in value.

The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. In
nearly all descriptions, a moderate retail business was trans-
acted, on former terms.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at previous
quotations.

Good and fine malting barley was firm in price ; other-
wise, the barley trade ruled inactive, at late rates.
The demand for malt was in a sluggish state, at barely
late rates.

There was a moderate supply of oats on the stands, and
the trade ruled inactive for all descriptions, at fully the late
decline in prices,

Beans wero in far from active request, yet their value
was supported.

131 i x n

Peas sold slowly, at quite the recent decline in the quo-
tations.

Barrel flour was less active, and rather cheaper. Other
kinds without change front Monday last.

CRIMINAL COURT-THIS DAY.

Fanny Jacobs, aged 44, a married woman, and Michael
Hozizien, a German, were indicted for stealing 23 yards of
satin and 12 yards of silk, the property of Messrs. Robinson
and Co., warehousemen, in the city.
The prisoner Jacobs pleaded guilty, and after the facts
were gone into, which have already appeared in The Sun
during the examinations of the prisoners before the police
magistrates, the jury found the male prisoner guilty.
The Recorder sentenced Jacobs to 18 months, and the
other prisoner to 12 months' imprisonment, with hard
labour.

NEW COUR r.
The Common Sergeant was engaged the whole of this
morning in trying a case of indecent as iault.
At the termination of the case the business of the ses-
sion was concluded, and the Court adjourned till the 6th of
January.
