His Hoooor did not think an adj.:arms:A necessary, and paned the examination. On the question of discharge, Mr. Chidley submitted that the bankrupt, at the time when he entered into his share transactions, had nomeans of paying any losses that might be incur red. He had speculated Gs the course of the market, and when a fall took place, he was unprepared to meet it. Mr. Lawrence said that the bankrupt had been in bushman for thirty years at Brighton as • librarian. Thu premier were still kept opal, as it would be ruin to the busi ness to close them for • day. An offer had been made by the trioxide of the bankrupt for the purchase of the stock and the lease ; and the only chance of • dividend for the creditors was by this arrangement being carried out, as it was certain that the goodwill of the bushier was worth much more to Mr. Folthorp than to any other person in Brighton or elsewhere. The assignees were desirous that the order of discharge should be granted. His Honour said that if the opposition had come from trade creditors it would have had considerable weight with the court ; bat as the opposing creditor had been a party to the transactions complained of, haying acted as broker for the bankrupt, it did not lie in his mouth to make an °bloc lice of that kind The order would therefore be granted. Mr. C. E. Lewis appeared for the bankrupt. THE DOINGS AT PUTNEY.—(THIS DAY.) The weather this morning was exceedingly fine, and there were some ladies and gentlemen at Putney wait ing to see the crews go out. The Oxford gentlemen left Mr. Kirby s, the Red Lion, their training quarters, and got into their boat at twenty minute, past ten at the London Boat-house. It wu then about half ebb, and they proceeded up at a great pace to Mortlake, to row down with the tide. Theyj were accompanied by equestrians and pe destrians of both sexes. Their style and time was very fine, and gratified all beholder'. They went at about the same speed, or nearly, as before, and there is in their row ing this peculiarity, that they do not appear to be working hard while they are making their boat go exceedingly feat. and seem uutirieg with their labour. The Ounbridge gentlemen determined also upon being afloat to-day but not to row the distance until the evening, merely contenting themselves with a little gentle exercise on the reach of water above Putney in ►he morning, and reserving themselves for the afternoon pull. The time of starting will be decided this evening. If they can start at anything, near 9 o'clock it will be rowed up ; if not, the Donnie will be from Mortlake to Putney, on the fiat of the ebb. It is unnecessary to repeat how &nimble it ia it should be rowed up. Betting is 6 to 4 ors Oxford. CI. prices.

The same night Sergeant Russell of the A division went in pl►in clothes to the Star sod Crown beer-shop, and apprehended May and Wells. The latter was with Green when Miles stopped him in 13,rdeage- walk. May had been seen by the potroan at a public-house adjoinieg the prosecutor's home to secrete himself in an outhouse at the beer. The prosecutor expressed peat unwillingness to press • the cue, saying it was hard fora father to go against his son. The magistrate said he was afraid there would be very little chance of the prosecutor giving soy useful assistance to the police in obtaining further evidanos, and is all pro bability the prisoners, if committed for trial, would be acquitted. He should therefore discharge them. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. POCKET-M[llM A?

He then saw the prisoner twice put her left head into ladies' pockets, and seized her, upon which she Raid " Don't show me up here ; let me take your arm."

He took her to the station, sod on being searched • diamond boo? ring, three sovereigns, and If. Os. 9d. in silver, • postage stamp, arid some keys were found upon her. She refused her address. Mr. Beard said he could scarcely account for the prisoner's conduct except that she had been led away by others. Her husband was a in in of some means, and he (Mr. Beard) was instructed that the prisoner left her home in the morning in • pcsaine, having had some words with her husband. Mr. Knox said he could hardly believe • woman in the prisoner's position would wear snob a ring.

TES IRON TRADE. MEETING.—(THIS DAY.) (ET ELI:CTRL° AND INTERNATIONAL '.ILIGRAPIL) (mom oua OWN CORREEPONDINT.) BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY, 2 P.H. Greek Bonds opened this morning with great buoyancy, being first marked 241. A par tial reaction has since taken place, but the present quotation-241 to 4-is still 1 above that of yesterday afternoon. Turkish COUBO lidis have experienced a fresh advance of per cent., and the upward movement extends to Spanish Passive Bonds (which are last marked 271), and Italian and Sardinian stocks. Mexican Bonds are firm. The Turkish Loan of 1854 is now quoted 90 to 91 ; ditto, 1858, 684 to 4, being rather lower ; ditto, 1862, 70 to ; the Consolidds, 451 to 461 ; Venezuelan Six per Cents., 581 to 595 ; and the Peruvian Loan of 1862, 87 to 88. Transactions are recorded as follows :-Chilian Six per Cents., 104 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 841 ; Danish Scrip, 1, prem. ; Egyptian, 961, ex div. ; Greek, 241, 24, 1,4, 4,4, li ; ditto Coupons, 101, 5,1, 8 ; Italian, for account, 70, 1 ; ditto Ma remmena Railway, 721 ; Mexican, for ac count, 311 ; Peruvian, 1862, for account, 871 ; Portuguese, 1862, 475, ; Russian, 1859, 595, 60 ; ditto 1862, 951, 95 ; Sardinian, 844 ; ditto for account, 84, 1 ; Spanish Passive, 271, 27, 4 ; ditto Certificates, 91 ; Turkish, 1854, for account, 901 ; ditto, 1858, for account, 681, 4, 1, ex div. ; ditto 1862, for az.count, 70, 691, 704, 691 ; Venezuela, for account, 231 ; ditto 1862, 581. It is now ascertained definitely that the letters of allotment for the New Confederate Loan will be posted this evening, for delivery in London to-morrow morning. The labour in con nexion with the allotment must have been suffi ciently severe, the total number of applications having been over 2,000, while between 400 and 600 letters of " regret " have been distributed. Statements have been circulated of an alleged in tention on the part of the Confederate government Ito raise immediately another loan in England, but it is believed that these are erroneous. So far from this, it appears that the proposition sent out from thin country was to raise a total of 5,000,0001., but the Confederate Executive cut the amount down to 3,000,0001., their object being merely to provide by this means for their present expenditure in Europe. For the purposes of the war at home, exclusive reliance in placed upon the issues of in convertible paper, which have of course a forced cur. rency throughout the seceded States. It is understood that no portion of the cash derived from the present loan will be sent out : the whole will be expended in Europe, and nearly the whole in this country. The money market, therefore, will not be affected. The influx of gold, principally American, to the Bank, continues. The amount sent in yesterday was 91,0001., making a total of 357,0001. since the last return. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 4,8691. over last year •, the Great Eastern a decrease of 1,1131. ; and the Loudon and South Western an increase of 4,2731. The directors of the London and South Western Bank have announced their intention of opening a branch at Plymouth on the 6th prox., and they have also arranged to open branches shortly at Bristol, Southampton, and Redruth. The report of the directors of the Ottoman Rail way Company, to be submitted on the 30th inst., alludes to the disappointment occasioned through the traffic not having increased in the ratio antici pated. A speedy completion of the line to Aidin l , is recommended as the remedy, but the directors ' have as yet been unable to suggeet any feasible plan for the purpose, owing to the depressed state of the company's shares. The result of negotiations upon this point with the Turkish government are now to be submitted to the shareholders. At the half-yearly meeting yesterday of the British American Land Company the directors' report was adopted. It stated that, considering the adverse circumstances of the year, the sales of land have exhibited a fair average, both as regards the quan tity sold and the price obtained. It is notified that the articles of association of the Empire Marine Insurance Company will lie for signature at 81, Old Broad-street, from the 26th to the 28th inst., when the certificates of shares will be in course of issue. A general meeting of the South Italian Railway Company is convened for the 27th April, at Turin. The subscription list for obligations of this com pany, at the rate of 2.4. net per obligation of 201., is still open through Messrs. Louis Cohen and Sons. The half-yearly meeting of the Demerara Rail way Company is called for the 14th of April in London. At the meeting of the South Staffordshire ironmuters, held here this afternoon, the old scale of prices for finished iron was re-confirmed for next quarter. THE El-ROYAL FAMILY OF FRANCE AND THEIR , WOECENTZEBEIRE TANA NYET.-A very exciting SOHN was yritomeed on Tuesday hut, near to Evesbans, the Due d'Aumale, third son of the late Louis Philippe, barn( invited hie tenantry and • ourober of gentlemen to par- . ticipate with him in a stag bunt. The Duo d'Aumale has for the last five years been the owner of • large and very beautiful estate, comprising a chateau and several thousand of acres in the neighbourhood of Evenham, and as a compliment to his tenantry and those gentlemen over • whose lands the royal party have hunted during the present semen, invitations were mot out for them to ensemble at " his shooting-box" for breakfast, prior to the slag-bunt taking place. The duc'n residence is situated on • charming site, about two miles from Eveeham, and onninisods the most lovely 'misery, with extensive views of the Malvern and Braden Hills, and of placee, townships, and hamlets intermediate. The Duo d'A ornate is a thoroughly good agriculturist, end is alsoan admirer of out-door @porta —of hunting and its attendant pleasures, and with • generous spirit he endeavours to afford pleasure to those ly, whom he ie surrounded. The breakfiut was of the most sumptuous kind, with champagne ad /autism, and the invited guest' mustered largely. The Duo FAumale presided at the principal table, sod the Duchesee, with great courtesy, eat at the opposite end. At another table was tLe Prince de Joituille, and the Duo de Chartres and the Doc de Guise were of the party. The Duo FAumals, in a brief speech, thanked his gusts for the assistance they had rendered during the season, sod hoped another season to meet them again in the bunt- Mg field. Mr. F. Davis, of Penhore, proposed the bealths of their "Royal Highnesses," which was drunk with much applause. Marna noon a hind. obtained by his royal high- DWI from the Royal Park at Richmond, was unaided in a field at Biehamptoo, and her appearance was greeted by many hundreds of spectators, who shouted end cheered as she skipped proudly away. About 500 horsemen were prevent, and such a scene as was presented by the united gathering has been but seldom seen in this part of the ,ountry. The arrival of the Due and Duchess, and the other members of the total family, was a signal for re- newed applause, and after about half an hour's law had been allowed to the hind, a splendid start took place, horses and hounds (the Due's own pack) rattling over the fields at a capital pace. The run was over about ten miles of rather awkward country, and many of the horsemen got pretty wall waked is a brook over which the party had to crone, sod the Duc himself was slightly cut on the Iface, it was said, by a falling horseman. The course of the hind was somewhat checked by one of her fetlocks being pot out, and ultimately she was captured at Dorn stone, where, of course, her life was spared. The weather was brilliant, and the scenery all round delightful, and from morn till dewy eve the pleasure seemed to be unmi- Opted. Another run is to take plans from Broadmarston, a hamlet within a short distance of the chateau, in tbe ' Course of next week.—Biratingkom Post.

Recent import ations from America appear to be in excess of present demard.; hence the market doom dull at the lowest point of the week.

The second aeries of balloon ascent& for meteoro logical observations was to have commenced to-day at the 1 Crystal Palace, under the direction, as before., of Mr. Glaisher, F.R.S. The services of Mr. Colwell with the mammoth balloon, which he constructed specially for these high voyagva, had been again retained ; but we learn, by a telegram from the Palace, that on amount of a strong north west wind which was blowing, and which would carry the balloon across the Channel is less than an hour, the ascent has not taken place. In addition to the instruments which were used in a former ascent (supplied by Messrs. Negretti and Zambra), another called the spectroscope, for the purpose of analysing light, was to have been taken up to-day. It was proposed to reach a height of 4 or 5 miles. THE GALWAY CONTRACT. The Lords of the Treasury have presented to par liament further papers in regard to the application of the At lantic Royal Mail Stearn Navigation Company for %renewal of their contract for the cooveyaors of mails between this country and North America. They coosist chiefly of the reports of the gentlemen appointed to inspect the condition of the Vl4o4llSof the company and to report on their capabi lity to perform the work to be done under the proposed new contract, and they are the reverse of favourable for the company. One of the inspecting officers says of the Hibernia that the same observations respecting her fitness to be em ' ployed on that service will generally apply to the Columbia, namely "that,. the materials employ ed to strengthen the sbip have brought her down bodily about two feet in the water, nod at a deep loud draught of water the wheels will be stall more injuriously immersed, I consider it doubtful. with the margin of speed obtained under favour able airmainetauces at Southampton over and above the contract averages, whether she will be able to do more than keep her time under favour able circumstances as to weather, and this more especially if 200 tons of ballast are to be introduced to correct her crank new, in addition to her sea stores." The report of the other Admiralty inspecting officer is still more unfavourable; indeed. he gore so far as to say of both these vessels that they have not sufficient speed to ensure their making the voyages in the time specified in the proposed contract with that regularity which is requisite to carry on the postal service with efficiency. The Bath Chronicle says :—" It is reported that the Prince of Wales will be invited to lay the first stone of the new wing about to be a Wed to our United Hospital. We can scarcely hope that the application will be success - fol. as invitations of a similar character have no doubt been forwarded to the Prince by scores ; but should his roya highness favour Bath with his presence, he will meet with a brilliant reception from the loyal inhabitants of the ' faithful city.'"
