MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The quantity of English wheat on offer in to-day's mar-
ket was very limited. As the attendance of buyers was
but moderate, the amount of business doing in all kinds
was comparatively small ; nevertheless the trade was con-
sidered tolerably firm, at full prices.
We had only a limited inquiry for foreign wheat; but
no alteration can be noticed in the quotations.
Floating cargoes were quite as dear as last week.
Barley was in good supply, and fair request, at full
currencies.
In malt very few transactions took place on former
terms.

Oats ruled steady, at extreme rates.
Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper.

WHITECHAPEL.
Each kind of meat moved oft' slowly, as follows :
Beef from 3s Od to 4s Os ; mutton, 3s 2d to 4s 8d ; veal,
4s Od to 5s 2d ; pork, 3s 4d to 4s 10d per 8115 by the
carcase.

BOROUGH HOP.
Our market is very dull to-day, at drooping prices.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about 3 per mine discount (according to the last tariff),
which, at the English Mint price of 3/, 17s. 101 d. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.094 ;
and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being
24.971, it follows that gold is about 0.48 per cent.
dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham-
burg the price of gold is 422 per mark, which, at the
English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for stan-
dard gold, gives an exchange of 13.38 ; and, the ex-
change at Hamburg on London at short being 13.24, it
follows that gold is 0.42 per cent. dearer in Hamburg
than in London. The course of exchange at New York
on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 109 per cent.,
and, the par of exchange between England and America
being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange
is nominally 0.58 per cent. against England ; but, after
making allowance for charges of transport and difference
of interest, the present rate leaves no profit on the
transmission of gold either way between the two
co untrioe.

re: lative to the recent explosion in the Arley Mine, near

In n, before Mr. C. E. Driffield, the coroner for the dis-
tri ct. Another of the colliers died on Friday last, and
th us the number who lost their lives now amounts to 88.
jc ,sias Dobison, head underlooker of the workings un-
rground, was minutely examined as to the previous
;b ate of the mine, and the probable cause of the explosion.
Vie witness it as gave his opinion that a sudden burst
of gas must have taken place after the fireman had lighted
his fusee, and that the explosion was to be traced to this
circumstance. Several colliers who were in the mine
when the explosion took place then gave evidence, but
:nothing material was elicited, and the inquiry was ad-
, ourned till to•day.

MINING INVESTMENT. —Parties seeking
safe and profitable investments should turn their attention
to the shares of those companies formed for mining, especially when
their estates are in Cornwall and Devon. The dividends from many
of these are equal to 10, 15, and 20 per cent. upon the outlay,
while others not yet paying dividends, but having excellent
prospects of soon doing so, afford abundant scope for speculation, not
alone from anticipated early returns to the proprietary, but likewise
on account of the great enhancement in the value of the stock at-
tendant thereon. Mr. JNO S. LANE, 32, Poultry, London, having
correspondents in all the richest mineral districts in England, is in a
position early to advise his clients. Parties communicating will re-
ceive all requisite information,eand Mr. LANE will recommend
either dividend paying, or Ron-dividend paying concerns, to those
wishing to embark in mining enterprise, and state his reasons for so
doing.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.

The marriage of Lord George Paget, M.P., youngest
son of the Marquis of Anglesey, with his beautiful
cousin, Miss Agnes Paget, daughter of the late Sir
Arthur Paget, G.C.8., was solemnised on Monday
evening, by special licence, at St. James's Church,
Piccadilly, in the presence of a very numerous family
circle.

The bride came to the church with her mother at
half-past six o'clock, and received in the vestry the
warm congratulations of her friends. She was attended
to the altar by four youthful bridesmaids—the Ladies
Emily and Anne Montagu, daughters of the Earl of
Sandwich ; the Hon. Constance Finch-Hatton, daughter
of Viscount Maidstone ; and Miss Paget, daughter of
Lord Alfred Paget.
The service—performed by the Hon. and Rev. Gerald
Wellesley, one of her Majesty's chaplains—was rendered
unusually impressive by the " dim religious" light which
illumined the sacred edifice during its celebration.
Almost all the members of the Paget family were pre-
sent, but the circle was confined to relatives. The noble
marquis, we regret to learn, was not quite well enough
to undergo the fatigue of attending.
After the ceremony, the happy pair left town for
Frognal, the seat of Viscount Sydney, in Kent, where
they are to pass the honeymoon.

The Duke and Duchess of Montrose entertained the
Earl of Eglinton and a distinguished party at dinner on
Monday evening, in Groavenorsquare.
The Duchess of St. Alban's, and Lady Diana Beau
clerk, have arrived at Prince's-gate, Kensington Gore

he should move that an address to the Crown be pre-
sented praying her Majesty not to grant letters of

VINE DISEASE.
_ _

Mr. SPOONER asked if the doyen:pent had re-
ceived any report relative to the rumoured failure of
the vine crop in various wine growing countries.
Mr. CARDWELL said the Government received
such reports, and had no objection to produce them..
Mr. SPOONER then moved .that the reports re-
ferred to be laid upon the table.
Agreed to.
RUSSIA AND THE INDIAN PRINCES.
Mr. LIDDELL asked if an alliance, defensive and
offensive, had been concluded between the Czar of
Russia and the Kkans of Bokhara and Khiva, and the
King of Cabool.

Si; C. WOOD replied that he believed there was no
truth whatever in this report.
UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS.
Mr. LUCAS wished to ask the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether it is the intention to acquiesce in the
verdict given in the Court of Exchequor in Dublin in the
ease of Mr. Shaw's Penny Oommercial Journal. In
this case the jury found a verdict for the defendant
If the Government did not acquiesce in the verdict, was
it the intention of the Government to enforce their no-

tion of the law with reference to The Builder and The
Atheneum.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Government did not intend to acquiese in the verdict,
but it would be premature to answer the other question.

ACCIDENTS IN MINES.

Mr. CALEY enquired if the Under-Secretary of
State for the Home Department had received any in-
formation of the recent coal mine accident in Wigan.
Mr. FITZROY said his attention had been drawn to
this lamentable occurrence, and a Government officer
had been sent down to attend the inquest.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

WESTERN CIRCIIIT.-WINCHESTER, FEE. 28,

CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
" THE HANDSOME VfOIIAN."

Two men, named George Brown and William Knighton,
labourers, were indicted for libel and conspiracy, at
Portsea, on the (ith of April, 1853.
Mr. Poulden, describing the nature of the case to the
jury, created considerable laughter in the court. The
prosecutrix kept a public-house in St. George's-square,
in the town of Portsea. The defendants had formerly
been engaged as railway labourers, or navvies ; but after
residing some little time in the town they opened a beer-
shop almost opposite the house of the prosecutrix, and
some little jealousy was excited between the parties.
After some time had elapsed it transpired that spirits
had been sold at the house of the defendants, and
the prosecutrix's family gave information to the Ex-
cise officers, which led to the detection of the de-
fendants, and a fine of 141. was afterwards inflicted
by the magistrates. As a masterpiece of revenge,
the defendants resorted to the following expedient :
They secured the services of an artist, and a painting
was executed, being an exact likeness of the prosecutrix,
who is not pretty, and throwing out some peculiarities
in her physiognomy supposed to betray propensities for
liquid refreshments, The painting was brought into
court amidst much laughter. It was a large picture.
The defendants had placed this sign on the front of their
house, using it as the "sign" of the beerhouse, it being
surmounted with the words, " The Handsome Woman."
Crowds of people.congTegated in the locality in conse-
quence, and besides other annoyances, the prosecutrix's
property sustained serious damage. The worst part of
the case against the defendants was that they had agreed
to take down the painting for a consideration of 26/.,
and which sum would have been paid by the prosecutrix
rather than the annoyance should continue, but a soli-
citor advised her otherwise, and the present indictment
was preferred,
The judge suggested that the "handsome woman" be
painted out, and so end the case. After the prosecuting
counsel had concluded his speech, a consultation between
the parties ended in the case being arranged by the de-
fendants promising to discontinue all manner of nuisance.
The jury having been directed to find a verdict of
guilty of the libel and not guilty of the conspiracy, the
defendants were ordered to be discharged on their own
recognisances not to repeat the offence.

CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DA ).

OLD COURT.
THE ALLEGED EXTENSIVE FORGERIES IN THE CITY.
William, Anderson, 30, a person of gentlemas ily ap•
pearance, described as a merchant, was indi n ted for
feloniously forging and uttering an acceptance filar a bil
of exchange for 2,480/., with intent to defraud.
Mr. Huddlestone and Mr. Ballings conducted th •
prosecution ; Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Prendii3rgast
Q.C., and Mr. Parry, Q.C., were counsel ilor th•
prisoner.

The facts of the case have been fully given in the
Mansion-House report. The prisoner, it will be re-
membered, carried on a very extensive business fin the
city of London as a Custom House agent and goneral
merchant, his transactions being on a very large
scale. It appeared that on the 20th of December
the prisoner handed over the bill in question to a
gentleman named Freeze, and through his instrumen-
tality it was discounted by the eminent firm of Overend,
Gurney, and Co. money agents, Lorubaird-street, and
1,600/. was paid over to the prisoner. The bill pur-
ported to bear the acceptance of Messrs. P. and C, -Van
Notten, merchants of Lime-street-squares, and it would
seem that in consequence of several large bills being
presented to be discounted their suspicions were aroused
and the prisoner was given into custody.
The trial was proceeding when we went; to press, and
was likely to last the whole of the day.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
ROBBING A DETROTM.
Henry Hall, a simple-looking young man, agect
pleaded guilty to picking the pocket of Michael Haphe a,
the well-known City detective officer, of his bandits
chief, whilst he was upon duty.
The Recorder said it was quite Eivident from the fs 6ct
of the prisoner not knowing so well-known an dicer as
Hayden that he was not an old offender. He was el an-
tenced to three months' imprisonment.

THIRD COURT.
(Before Russell Gurney.)
A CURIOUS CASK.
James Tacker, 21, William Rood, 25, David Rail anon
26, all privates in the Scotch Fusiliers, pleaded guilt y -to
passing bad money. The prisoners had, it appeaved,
from the evidence of the serjeant, all borne
excellent characters, and were very exemplary soldie.n a,
and the only reason that could be assigned for the it
having been guilty of this offence (which was that of
each one uttering a single half-crown), was ta escu ►e
being sent out with the regiment to the seat of wal r.
They were sentenced each to six months and hag 11
labour.
London, England, 1854-03-01

pose from the hon. gentleman's language, that all the 75
convents were crowded with melancholy prisoners,
whereas he himself (LordE. Howard) happened to know
that in one of them there were but 3 inmates, in another
but 4, and in another but 7 ; and he believed the same
description would apply to a great many of the rest.
The fact was that, whenever two or three ladies united
together for the purpose of education or charity in a 10.-
eality, the editor ,of the Catholic Almanac forthwith re.
gistered them an an additional convent. The fallacies
that seemed to be in vogue with reference tothe doctrines
and discipline of the poor Roman Catholics were really-
quite deplorable. To hear the hon. member for Hert-
ford, one, would imagine that a Roman Catholic could
not eat a dinner or drink a glass of wine till he had the
priest's leave, whereas he could assure the hon. member
from constant personal experience, Roman Catholics ate
their dinner and drank their wine without seeking any
such permission. With regard to convents abroad, the
hon. member was totally in error. In France there was
no sort of inspection of the convents by any lay autho-
rity whatever, nor was there any civil interference with
these establishments in Prussia, nor in Austria either.
As to the whole convent of nuns, who, according to the
hon. member, had turned Protestants in Paris, the cir-
cumstance seemed to be known to no one in Paris itself.
Well, the committee asked for might be appointed. Ho
owned he did not wish to see it formed, not that there was
anything behind which could prove of any harm to the
Roman Catholic religion ; on the contrary, he thought that
good would come from it to that religion ; but he did not
think it right to place those persons, who he conceived
had done no harm and no wrong, in such a difficult
position. He could not envy those gentlemen who were
so eager to inflict such hardships on persons who were
friendless. (Hear, hear.) It might be a proud thing to
bring up nuns to London, and assemble them together
in a room where they would be the object of obser iation
and remark to all thosewhose curiosity would be excited
by the novelty of the scene ; but he must say he would
much rather be one of those wronged ones who had de-
voted their days and nights in watching, it might be, at
the bedside of some patient dying of the typhus fever,
than be one of those gentlemen, with all their pride of
power, who had brought them into that condition.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. T. CHAMBERS replied. He thought the ques-
tion had been well nigh exhausted, and that hardly any
question had been left between the opposing parties in
this matter. He placed his motion on the simple foot-
ing of the increasing number of these establishments,
and on the fact of their not being recognised by law.
The house then divided, the numbers were—
For the motion
Noes ll9
Majority for the committee —67
The result of the division was received with loud
cheering.

VENTILATION OF THE H OUSE.

On the motion that the house at its ti ,sing should ad-
journ till two o'clock to-morrow,
Mr. SPOONER called the attention of the house
;o the abominable state of ventilation of the house.

(Hear, hear.) He spoke feelingly, for 103 e air that was
" pumped " into the house and for whi cl i they had paid
some 200,0001. was so filled with dust that it brought
on an attack upon him from which he w: as now suffering.
If the matter were not attended to h e certainly would
move for a committee to inquire into i;he matter. Fie
could find them places in the house free zing in one con
ner and scorching in another. (Hear, :hear.)
Mr. W. PATTEN also bore testimo ay to the bad
state of the ventilation.

Mr. HUMS said if Mr. S. Gurney . had an oppor-
tunity of carrying out his views as to the ventilation of

the house, he would for a very small exi iense put the
house in a good condition as regarded vent ilation. Pro-
bably public money never was so squandered as had
been the case in this matter, and he hoped it would lie
taken up by the proper authorities. (Hear-, hear.'
Mr. MUNTZ said this was another instance of the
evil effects of the Government undertaking:, the duties of
a factory. (Laughter.)
Mr. BOUVERIE said a good deal of the difference
of opinion that existed on this subject was owing to the
different conditions in which hon. members came into
the house. Some hon. members came in after having a
good dinner and a fair share of wine, and they com-
plained that the house was intolerably hot, while th.nse
who had been in the house for some hours were chilled.
He himself had sat as many hours last session in this
house as any hon. member, not even excepting the
Speaker, and if the ventilation had been so very bad as
was said, he would have suffered more from it than he
certainly had suffered. (Hear, hear.)

HEA LTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

( From the Registrar-General's Report.)
The Registrar General's return states, that the deaths
registered in London exhibit a considerable increase,
having risen from 1,154 in the previous week number
which the mortality has not much exceeded since the
middle of January) to 1,334 in the week that ended last
Saturday. In the four weeks that followed the middle
of January the mean temperature was 42 deg. ; in the
fifth week it fell to 31.1 deg., and last week it was
40_19 deg.

In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1844-53,
the average number of deaths was 1,130, which if raised
in preportion to increase of population, becomes 1,243.
The present return shows an excess above the estimated
amount, of nearly 100.
Complaints of the respiratory organs are the principal
cause of increase. Deaths by bronchitis have risen in
the last two weeks from 121 to 134, those by pneu-
monia from 64 to 82, by asthma from 16 to 30. Hoop-
ing-cough declined in the same time from 83 to 72 ;
croup rose from 9to 21. At 2, Ocean-row, Ratcliff,
two daughters of a labourer died respectively on 20th
and 23rd February of this latter disease.
The following case was registered last week, but oc-
curred on the 31st December. At No. 4, Blendon-row,
East-street, Walworth, the son of a journeyman shoe-
maker, aged 4 months, died of asphyxia, in consequence
of a cat having laid itself on the mouth and neck of the
child when sleeping in bed.
The number of births registered in the week was
great, amounting to 1,795. Of these 891 were of boys,
904 were of girls. In the corresponding weeks of the
nine years 1845-53 the average number was 1,477.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 30.096''-n. The
highest means were 30.314 in. and 30.319 in. on Thurs-
day and Saturday ; the lowest 29/86 in. on Monday.
The mean temperature of the week was 40.9 deg.,
which is 1.5 deg. above the average of the same week in
38 years. On Sunday the mean temperature was 4/
degs. below the average ; during the rest of the week it
was above the average, though for the most part to only
a slight extent. The highest temperature in the week
was 53 degs. on Monday ; the lowest 30 degs. on Sun-
day. The mean dew-point temperature was 33'8 deg.
The wind blew from the north-west and south-west.
There was no fall of rain except on Thursday, when it
was 0.10 in.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGANCE.

OXFORD, FRB. 2R.

DEATH OF THE RECTOR OF EXETER COLLEGE.

We regret to state that intelligence has reached the
University this afternoon of the death of the Rector of
Exeter College, who has long been in a declining state
of health, and expired yesterday at Bonchurch in the
Isle of Wight.
Dr. Richards was a man of very amiable character,
and universally beloved and respected. In the Uni-
versity he was marked by the soundness of his judgment,
his general affability, and the discretion he displayed on
several trying occasions. As head of his college he was
indefatigable in his care of its discipline as well as its
interests ; and both at Bisphy and at Kidlington, where
his parochial duties were exercised, he leaves behind
him the character of a most exemplary clergyman.
Dr. Richards was the son of the Rev. Joseph Richards,
of Tamerton, in the county of Devon. He entered as a
Commoner of Exeter College, in October, 1815, being
then 17 years of age. He was elected fellow of his col-
lege, and became tutor and sub-rector. In 1835 he left
college, having taken the rectory of Bisphy, Herts,
whence he was recalled to be rector in 1838, select
preacher in 1853, and a delegate of accounts in the Uni-
versity. In 1828 he filled the office of Public Examiner,
and was one of the chaplains of his Royal Highness
Prince Albert.
