MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocii.
Although the bullion operations at the Bank of
England continue limited and the stock of the
precious metals is maintained at a high point, the
efflux of gold to the Continent is still conducted
on an extensive scale. The specie received from
Australia, America, and Russia, is at once trans-
mitted to France, and if a temporary pause took
place in the consignments from those sources of
supply, the drain from the Bank would probably
be renewed.
The money market, however, still remains in a
very quiet state, and the terms of discount exhibit
a downward tendency. First-class paper is nego-
tiated at 31, and even at 31, per cent., as the
bankers and brokers are glad to find use for their
capital at lower rates rather than keep it idle. As
competition is thus excited, the markets get
easier, and the impression is gaining ground that
the minimum will soon have to be reduced to 4 or
3 per cent. Many persons consider that the
alteration may be adopted within. the .next fort-
night, as the present regulations exclude the Bank
from the discount market, and there is nothing in
surrounding influences to justify the expectation of
an early return of pressure.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon pre-
sented no alteration of importance.
At the Bank of England there were no gold
withdrawals yesterday.
The dividend proposed by the London Chartered
Bank of Australia for the last six months of 1858,
is at the rate of 3 per cent., free of income tax,
making a distribution of 6 per cent. for the year.
Letters from Liverpool report that the cotton
market, yesterday, closed steadily, and prices were
fully supported. The sales were estimated at from
3,000 to 4,000 bales. Business in the Railway
Share Mirket was nearly suspended, and quota-
tions were without material alteration.
In the English Stock Market to-day a small
amount of business has been transacted at rather
firmer quotations, the dealings having been re-
corded at prices fully equal to the highest point
attained yesterday. The continued purchases for
investment exert a beneficial infkence. The stock
daily purchased on that account represents a large
aggregate amount each week, and the dealers who
are short of supplies find some difficulty in
satisfying the requirements of the public.
Speculation, however, continues depressed. Con-
sols have been 911 for money and account;
but the present quotation is 91i 92, the market
being decidedly firmer. The money business in-
cludes a purchase of £5,000 new Threes for the
savings banks. Bank Stock remains steady at
220 to 2211 ; the New Threes and the Reduced at
901 91; the New, 21 per Cents. are marked 76
India Stock, 218, ditto Loan Debentures, 931, and
Exchequer -Bills 18s. to 235. prem. Indian Loan
Scrip is 921 93, being at a discount of 21 to 2 per
cent.

In the Foreign Stock Market business is mode-
rately active, and in most instances prices have
further improved. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 63 to
64 ; ditto New, 52 to 54; and the 4 per Cents. have
advanced to 100/ 1011 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents. to

41 per Cents, to 901; and Spanish 3 per Cents. are
flat at 39;4,; but the Deferred are firm at 274-.
Increased buoyancy ;has been apparent in the
Railway Share Market, a fair amount of business
having been transacted in most of the principal
lines at an improvement of I to I per cent. on
yesterday's values. Caledonian, Great Western,
North Western, Midland, North British, and South

SUClDE,—Yesterday an inquest was held at the
Farm, Summers-town, near Oxford, on the body of Mr.
William Herbert, who committed self-destruction by shoot-
ing himself on the previous day. The deceased was Sheriff
of Oxford last year, and was currently spoken of as the
Mayor for the same city in 1859-60. He was also the

FEARFUL ACCIDENT.-A fearful accident occurred
carried on in those
strt:employed in the rail
hee:'fltilwheel suddenly
at the Consett Iron Works, in the
ntdini e, its
Saturday. Immense operations arec county of Durham, on
works, and while 70 men were busily

prin-
cipal portion of the shattered fregm The
machine fell into the wheel pit, but others to the
right and left. One, weighing about three andw
tons, was driven a distance of 29 yards and struck aga-lialtf
a wall, making a breach in it fully four feet in depth and
two in breadth, passing on other 21 yards. Near to thatn
there is another fragment weighing one and a-half tons,
deeply imbedded in the ground. The roof of the mill has
been shattered some 160 feet in length, and 40 in breadth,
and it fell upon four men while at work cutting iron at the
shears in front of the flywheel. The men were buried be-
neath the ruins. Measures were at once adopted to extricate
them, a very difficult task from the quantity of heated iron
flying about. The first person discovered was Patrick
farther, who had been killed instantly by the roof falling
on him. Daniel Duffy was the next person discovered. He
fell over a hot rail end, and is much burnt. He has also
lost one of his fingers. Matthew Murphy, a married man,
was found covered over by the slates. He is much burnt,
and suffers from wounds in various parts of his body.
Michael Duffy, the fourth man, was at the time of the
accident carrying iron from a waggon to the shears. He
a:
knocked down, and the huge mass of iron falling on his
legs . they were dreadfully smashed. One of his legs has
been amputated.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THPS DAY.)

COURT OF DIVORCE.

(Before Lord Campbell, Baron Martin, and Sir Creswell
Cresswell.)
RATCLIFF V. RATCLIFF AND ANDERSON

A preliminary objection was taken to the jurisdiction of
the Court, in respect that the marriage and adultery were
committed in India. 2. That the copy of the register of mar-
riages in Innia was not admissible as evidence. 3. That the
co-respondent had done all he was able to do as compensa-
tion for the injury done by him, that he was not bound to
leave the regiment, and that he was not liable to pay costs.
Lord Campbell delivered the judgment of the Court to
the effect-:-Ist, That the Court had jurisdiction to entertain
this case in respect that the parties were British subjects ;
2d, that the register of marriages in India having been kept
by authority of the East India Company, and the copies
thereof having been made by public authority, was admis-
sible evidence in this case. His lordship referred to the
case of Sandwich v. Sandwich—Hubbert, 514; 14 and 15
Victoria, cap. 43; Green on Evidence, part iii., p. 34 ;
Gardner's peerage case—House of Lords' cases, as autho-
rities on this point. And, 3rd, that all that the co-re -
spondent had done in paying her expenses to England and
an annuity of £looa year, did not release himfrom his obli-
gation to leave the regiment and pay costs.
Baron Martin- concurred.

Sir Cresswell Cresswell said that whatever doubts he had
at first as to the admissibility of the copies of the register
of the marriage of the parties, they were now entirely re-
moved, as the copies were made by public authority.
The Court decreed divorce with costs against the co-
respondent (Captain Anderson).
Dr. Swabey applied for a settlement of an annuity for the
respondent, but the court declined to entertain the applica-
tion.
