MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
state that during the past week symptoms of im-
provement have been . apparent in several depart-
ments of trade. At Leeds the demand for cloths
for home use has been on the increase. There has
been a more active enquiry for goods at Manches-
ter, suitable for the India and China markets, and
a slight improvement can be reported in the hosiery
and lace trades at Leicester and Nottingham. In
the hardware districts no material alteration can
be reported except at Birmingham, where increased
animation has prevailed in several, branches, parti-
cularly in the gun trade.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a
fair amount of business was recorded, and 8,000
bales were disposed of at about former prices.
A further sum of £65,115 was conveyed by the
Africa, which left for New York on Saturday.
The Tyne, which sailed to-day for the Brazils,
took out £3,500 in gold and £14,000 in silver.
About £6,000 in gold was purchased by the
Bank of England authorities on Saturday.

The Prince of Wales has arrived from Melbourne
with £88,504, and the Peru with £58,248. •
An aetive business is still transacted in the general
discount market, and capitalist are still holding back
in order to be prepared for the forthcoming Indian
Loan, which it is thought will be brought forward
at an early period. Full rates are, therefore, de-
manded, 6 per cent. being charged in private
channels for the best descriptions of commercial
bills. The appearance of the last Bank of England
return has also tended to engender a feeling of re-
serve in banking circles, but there is still an ample
supply of money, and the mercantile community
experience no difficulty in obtaining the accommo-
dation they require at the current rates.
The Bank of England authorities, in compliance
with the wishes of the public, have made arrange-
ments for the publication of the weekly returns on
Thursday afternoon instead of Friday, as hereto-
fore. SUbjoined is the official notification addressed
to the editor :
"Inland Revenue, Somerset House, London, N.C., I

LA TV INTELLIGENCE—(77iIs Day).

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

;Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Bram-

well, and Channel!.
THE CASE OF MR. HATCH.

Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., rose for the purpose of moving
for a rule of court requiring the Lord Chief Baron to issue
his certificate granting to Mr. Hatch the costs in the case of
Lewis v. Lewis, which was tried before his lordship a short
time ago, and a verdict for 40s. damages was returned in
favour of the plaintiff.
Mr. Baron Martin intimated to the learned (gentleman
that it was a question to be dealt with by the Lord Chief
Baron rather than by an order of Court.
The Lord Chief Baron referred to the steps that had
already been taken with respect to the cost in the cause
alluded to, and said that during the day he would fully
consider the matter, and to-morrow morning ho would
inform the learned gentleman of his determination.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Bafore Sir Cresswell Cresswell.)
STOATS V. STOATS.

In this case the husband petitioned the Court for a dis-
solution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery,
to which the respondent entered an appearance, and pleaded
denial, and also recriminated the charges. The case was
heard on the 11th of December, 1860, before the Judge
Ordinary and a common jury, and a verdict was found for
the petitioner on all the issues. The learned Judge pro-
nounced the decree nisi, and the case came on for argument
this morning on the application of Mr. Howard, the re-
spondent's solicitor, to be allowed to show ground why the
decree should not be made absolute.

. Dr. Swabey, who appeared for Mr. Howard, said that he
founded his application on affidavit to the effect that the
respondent was not in London in sufficient time to give evi-
dence on them, and that two witnesses who were examined
had since seen the respondent, and stated that they were
mistaken in her identity.
Sir C. Cresswoll said that the time had elapsed when it
was competent for the respondent to oppose the decree
being made absolute. It was merely an at tempt to obtain
a new trial without having previously complied with the
rules of the court. Ile would accordingly dismiss the ap •
plication with costs.

(Before a Common Jury.)
POUNSFORD V. POUNSPORD AND DULPIN.
This was a suit instituted by the husband for a dissolu-
tion of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with
the co-respondent, who is a farmer residing in the neigh-
bourhood of Bridgewater. The respondent entered an ap-
pearance and denied the charge, but the co-respondent did
not appear.

From the evidence it appeared that the respondent,re who
riare
was a native of Wembdon, So
ac-
quainted with the petitioner, who was thei daughter
highly-respectable gentleman at Melbourne, , became a
nd they
ofwerea
married in that town in the year 1856. Some
after-
wards her father died and left her considerabTeearp rsoperty,which was settled on her, and they returned to England in
the October of 1856. They took up their residence at East
Wembdon, near Bridgewater, and here they formed the
intimacy of Mr. Bulpin, who had
previously been ac-
quainted with the petitioner, and was in the habit of calling
•
frequently, and sometimes taking his meals at their house.
It was alleged that Mr. Bulpin at length succeeded in
seducing the affections of the respondent, who subsequently
eloped with him, and they lived together afterwards. It
further appeared that there were some children issue of
the marriage, but they were deceased.
Several witnesses were called, whose evidence fully esta-
blished the case, and the jury found a verdict for the peti-
tioner, to the effeet that the adultery was committed with
the co-respondent, and awarded £5OO damages.
The Court then pronounced the decree nisi with costs,
