THE SCOTCH MARRIAGE LAW.—A point of some
importance was on Saturday decided in the Second Divi-
sion of the Court of Session. It was unanimously held
that a husband is liable to aliment his wife's pgrents. The
decisions in the inferior courts have been numerous and
conflicting; and it is satisfactory that the question has
now been raised simply on its legal merits, and authorita-
tively decided. The grounds on which the court pro-
ceeded were :—That a husband is liable for the debts of
his wife, whether future or contingent; that the obliga-
tion in this case was incumbent on the wife at the timo of
her marriage, though not then prestable ; that it might
have become exigible as against her, if single, at any mo-
ment, and when married, became enforcible, like all her
other
personal obligations, against her husband.—Scots-

man.

There is a good demand for monetary accommo-
dation, and the rates continue firm at 81 per cent
and upwards. The floating balances of bankers
and others are very large, but owing to the adverse
specie movement there is no disposition to relax the
terms.

At the Bank of England yesterday there was a
withdrawal of £55,000 in gold.

There has been no alteration in the SilVer Market.
The small amount in bars by the West India
Packet, being sold at GI per oz.
At an ordinary general meeting to-day of the
shareholders of the City Bank, the usual dividend
was declared of £,G per cent. per annum, and a
bonus of Gs. per share, together equal to 12 per
cent. per annum, free of income tax.
In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets,
during the last few days, there has been an absence
of animation. Sugars, however, have generally
maintained former values. Coffee has been in
moderate request at steady rates ; while in rice, tea,
saltpetre, and tallow, there has been a very limited
business transacted, without any material change in
values.

To-day consols have been f per cent. higher,
but have since receded to the prices last current
yesterday afternoon—viz.: 87 for money , and
88f for the account. No fresh event has occurred
to produce depression. Nevertheless foreign poli-
tics, the high rates of money, and the foreign de-
mand for gold, chill speculation and retard invest-
ments. Owing to one of those occasions when
there is a wide difference between the values of
Government Securities. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are buoyant, while Consols
are comparatively flat.

Foreign Stocks are generally flat. Turkish 5
per Ceuts. have advanced f, to 26111; Mexican
have declined 2. to 15f 1; Spanish Passive, 1 ;
Greek remain at 11 12 ; Spanish Certificates, 15
1 ; Italian, 52 1 ; and the Brazilian Scrip, 3 31
dis. American Securities are very firm. United
States 5-20 Bonds have advanced 1, to 68f ;
Erie shares 11, to 43i a ; and Illinois I, to 76} 77.
In the Railway Share Market business has re-
mained very dull, and prices have given way.
Great Eastern, North Eastern (York), and South
Eastern, have each receded £1; Great Western
and North Western, each 10s. ; and Great Northern
