In the bullion there is a slight decrease; the reserve of notes, however, has been augmented to a limited extent. The public deposits have been in creased to the amount of about three-quarters of a million,blit the private deposits show a correspond ing decrease. The vactive circulation has slightly diminished, and in the Government securities no alteration has taken place. In the other items of the balance sheet there is no alteration of import ance. They will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. 120,991,185 Decrease .. 88,980 Bullion _ 19,186,269 Decrease Rest Increase .. Public Deposits Increase .. Other Deposits Decrease ..

The silver brought by the Magdalena from the West Indies will be sent to the East. The Maid. of Judah has been announced this morning from New South Wales, in 77 days, but she is not presumed to have any specie on board. Accounts from Liverpool mention that the cotton Inarket yesterday closed eery quietly, and prices of all descriptions slightly declined. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. Since Monday last the imports of specie have beenabout £291,295, and the exports £287,653, exclusive of the following shipments direct from London to the Continent, during the week ending Thursday last :—Gold coin, Boulogne, 720 ozs.; ditto bars, Hamburg, 8,278 ozs. ; silver coin, Boulogne, 10 ,000 ozs. The Money Market continues in a very quiet State, and the rates appear rather easier. Several loan instalments will have to be met during the next six weeks, which, together with the commer cial engagements of the 4th, will no doubt shortly stimulate the inquiry for accommodation. The Austrian loan, which, it is said, will be attempted at an early date, excites discussion in financial ' r eles, but a doubt is expressed whether the a mount spoken of will be readily subscribed, ning to the present state of politics, and the . r .' e avY disco un t t o w hi c h th e T ur ki s h an d Chili an j 'eans, lately introduced, have now descended. The market for Public Securities to-day has not 'en influenced to any important extent, the trans actions both real and speculative having been very 'united. While the Paris Bourse continnes in such an uncertain state, much buoyancy cannot be expected on this side, and in the meantime the Operators seem disinclined to enter into exte nsive arrangements.

Several perions were summoned for false weights and measures ; and, in some cases, very aggravated ones, heavy fines were inflicted. In spite of the many warnings in the shape of fines, numbers of cabmen were mulcted_ in penalties for leaving their vehicles unattended : Summonses were heard, also, against drivers and con. ductors of the London Ge!neral Omnibus Company. Mr. Beard, of B askighall-street, appeared for some of the defendants, and obtained a mitigation of the penalties. One defendant, Who was fined for using abusive language, said it "was very hard lines." BOW-STREET. SEIZURE OP COUNTERFEIT COIN.-- A respectably dressed ma".o. named John Carey, carrying on the business of a tobrAcconist at No. 13, Denzell-street, Clare-market, Louisa his wife, and another female named Holtham, were plate , :t at the bar, charged with having a large quantity of comiterfect coin in their possession. Mr. Peacock, the mint' solicitor, attended to prosecute, and Mr. Brierley, the barrister, defended the prisoners. James Brannan, formerly an inspector of the G division of the metropolitan police, said—ln consequence of infor mation I received last night, I went to tho house of the prisoner in company with Inspector Bryan, Sergeant Evans, and Cook, Elliot, and other officers. He was standing in his shirt sleeves, with his arms folded, behind the counter apparently talking to a man before him. I did not hear the conversation. Immediately on entering the shop he unfolded his arms, put his left hand on the counter, and his right hand behind him. I pushed him against the wall, • and struggled with him before I could secure him. After I had closed with him I saw this instrument (an old Turkish scimitar) in his hand, and I immediately called out, "Bryan, for God's sake seize him before ho does any mis chief." After he had been properly secured we searched the shop, and found a square hole in the counter, and on looking underneath I saw there was a drawer, on open ing which I discovered five crown pieces wrapped up in paper, 12 half-crowns, and four florins, all eounterfeit. Sixty-one counterfeit florins were found by other officers. All the officers went in to assist with the exception of one, who was outside. Bryon took the male prisoner into the back parlour, jsnd I then said to him, "Hallos, Jack, I've come to pay you another visit ;" and he replied, " What for ? I wish you were dead, you old —" I said, " I have received directions from the Mint that you were deal ing in counterfeit coin, and this is good evidence." He made no reply, and I then had him, his wife, and the other prisoner conveyed to the station-house. Mr. Brierly—When did you receive your instructions from the Mint ? Witness—Yesterday. I first had to look after the pri soner for the same offence six years ago. Mr. Btierly—What did the other constable go with you for? Witness—To assist me. Mr. Brierly—Half a division of police to capture one man? Witness—We did not know how many we might have to deal with. Mr. Brierly—You also tool; the man that was in the shop talking to the male prlsoner into custody, did you not ? What did you do that ior Witness—l thQught ho might have been an accomplice. Mr. Brierl-0,--Well, was he ? Did you find counterfeit coin on I; int ? I nness—No ; I found nothing on him. Mr. Brierly—Will you swear the prisoner took down the' old sword with the intention of using it to prevent his capture ? Witness—No, I will not. Mr. Brierly—Now, on your oath, did it not fall down from where it was hanging while you were struggling with the prisoner ? ' Witness—l cannot swear it did not ; I saw it in his hand. Mr. Peacock—On this evidence I have to apply for a remand. Mr. Brierly—There is no evidence against the woman— you don't want them remanded surely ? I hope your Worship will take bail for the male prisoner, as there is no evidence that ho ever uttered counterfeit coin. • Mr. Henry—No, I can't admit him to bail. It is an offence to have counterfeit coin in his possession. The two women may be discharged, but I shall remand the male for a short time to give the officers time to make some inquiries about him.

The Lord Chancellor, Lord Justice lini , Kht Bruce, and Lord Justice Turner, in delivering judgnu3nt in this case, were of opinion that Mr. Nicoll was not 'relieved from his liability as a shareholder on the ground alileged by him, of misrepresentations made to him of the state of the affairs of the bank before he purchased the/ twenty shares of the bank in March, 1855. Their lords'nips did not consider the misrepresentations sufficient to entitle hint to relief from liability as a shareholder, in re'Jpect—first, was not proved they were the misrepresen'Ations of the directors, and were not authorised by them and, second, it appeared Mr. Nicoll purchased his shares with a knowlede :e of these misrepresentations ; at least after he was in the l mowledge of them, he acquiesced in them, and did not a pply to the Court for relief, but received the dividew Is declared upon them. But their lordships were decided]: 1 and unani mously of opinion that Mr. Nicoll was ev titled to be struck off the list of contributories, and hot liable for calls as a shareholder, in respect of his shares., by the sale of his broker to Mr. Empson, the bank's solie itor, with the knowledge and consent of the directors.

WHOLESALE ROBBERY OP FURS IN REGENT-STREET..-- Marian Oliver, of 24, Pitt-street, Tottenham-court-road, and Henry Pettngale, of 84, Berwick-street, a young lad, were Charged with being concerned with others, not in cus tody, in staling a large quantity of muffs and boas, valued at upwards of £lOO, the property of Mr. Edward Boyd Roberts, furrier, 239, Regent-street. • Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prosecution. The prosecutor said that on going to his shop on the Ist of September last he missed from his stock a large quantity of furs of every description. The lad was in his employ at the time, and he had left him in charge of the premises during his absence owing to a death in the family. The muff and boa produced he could swear to be his property. Mr. Inspector Holden, of the C division, said hehad been en gaged four or five months in the affair. He went with Ser geant Silverton, 293 A,to the female's lodgings on the previous morning, and on telling her that they had come to search the place, she asked for their authority, and what for ? Silverton said, for muffs and boas, and that he apprehended her for being concerned in the extensive robbery in Regent-street. On a shelf over the door he found the muff wrapped in a handkerchief, which ,she said she gave Gd. for; and on his taking a victorine from a cupboard she made no remark. In the drawer of the washing stand ho found 40 skeleton keys, chisels, "jemmies," and 90 duplicates relating to all sorts of property. Sergeant Silverton said that while at the female prisoner's lodgings searching the boy knocked at the door, and on his (Silverton's) opening it ho started back, and then said, "Does Mr. Jones live here ?" to which ho replied, " Oh, yes, ho does," and then took him into custody. The female prisoner said she could not account for the keys being there. She was innocent, and the lad said that he had gone to see Mr. Jones, who used to live there. Remanded. THAMES. ALLEGED CRUELTY AT SEA.—Mr. Davis, clerk to Mr. Joseph Smith, a solicitor, applied to the Hon. G. C. Nor ton for a summons against Captain Henry Jones, the master of the ship Ballarat, now lying in the East India Dock, for a violent assault on John Hemmings, an apprentice belong ing to the vessel, at Foo Chow, in China.. The lad was prevented going before the British Consul at Foe Chow, and had no alternative but an appeal to the laws of his country here. The assault was ono of a violent character. Mr. Norton asked the boy what sort of an assault was committed upon him. The lad said he was thrown down by the Captain, who put his foot on his throat, and nearly choked him. Ho was then lashed by the hands, one turn of the rope being taken round his neck. • Mr. Norton—Round your neck—a cord round your neck ? Hemmings—Yes, sir; and it was made fast to a stan- chion. Mr. Norton—To what ? Hemmings—To 'a stanchion, sir, on the starboard side of the quarter-deck by the poop ladder, and was flogged by the captain, who struck me thirty-three times over the back and shoulders with a rope doubled, and two blows fell on a tender part of my person, and I was in great pain for several days afterwards. The second mate held me while I was being flogged. After I was loosened twenty-four stripes were counted on my back and shoulders. Mr. Norton—You shall have a summons. Mr. Davis—Tho boy also claims £9 Gs. 10d. for wages due to him. Mr. Norton—Take a summons for that also. CRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAY.—Yes terday the admissions on payment were 700; ditto by season tickets, 294 ; total, 994. STRANGE SCENE AT THE ST.RAR.D THEATRE. Last night the greatest confusion was created at this theatre by the conduct of a party of gentlemen, the occu pants of a private box. The curtain having rose upon the new burlesque in which Mrs. Selby sustains the part of Queen Elizabeth, a large funeial wreath of intmortelles was thrown to her; which produced such effect upon the lady that she was compelled to retire before she could proceed with her part. The audience rose and loudly demanded the expulsion of the offenders, who, after some difficulty, were ejected from the theatre. This morning Mr. and Mrs. Charles Selby and Mr. Swanborough, the stage manager of the theatre, attended before Mr. Henry, the police magistrate, to ask his worship's advice as to the best course to be adopted to obtain repara tion for , the insult. Mr. Charles Selby, on entering the witness-box, said—l have taken the liberty of appearing hem to ask your wor ship's advice under the following circumstances. Last night, immediately on Mrs. Selby making her appearance on the stage of the Strand Theatre, in the part of Queen Elizabeth, in the Christmas burlesque, a large funeral wreath of intmortelles was thrown to her by some parties in one of the private boxes. Mr. Henry—Did you see it thrown ? Mr. Selby—No, sir. Mr. Henry—We had better, then, hear Mrs. Selby. Mrs. Selby said—Last evening, immediately on making my appearance in the burlesque, a funeral wreath of im ntortelles was was thrown at my feet. I felt much hurt at such an insult, and became so agitated that I was prevented proceeding with my part for some time. Before I had scarcely recovered from the effects of the first insult, another of the objectionable wreaths of still larger dimen sions was thrown. I again became very much agitated, which the audience perceived. I picked up one of the wreaths and threw it indignantly aside, after which the audience rose en masse and demanded the expulsion of the offenders. The confusion was very * Treat, and it was not until Mr. Swanborough forcibly ejected them from the theatre that quiet was restored. The parties, on being asked, gave their cards, and it is to know the best course to be adopted that we have troubled your worship. Mr. Henry—You can summon the parties for an assault. Mr. Selby—My object is to obtain an ample apology. The insult was publicly given, and the apology should be as publicly published in the newspapers. Mr. Swanborough, the stage manager, said—Last even ing the scene described by Mrs. Selby occurred at the theatre. After having obtained possession of the wreath, I proceeded to the box from whence it came, but before reaching it I heard a loud commotion in front of the cur tain—the throwing the second wreath, I learnt, was the occasion of it. I remonstrated with the gentlemen on their insulting conduct, and ejected them from the theatre. I was afraid to give them into custody, as I had been pre viously told that if I did so I should render myself liable to an action for false imprisonment. Mr. Henry—Do you think they were sober ? Mr. Swanborough—l should say they were. They gave me their cards, and I told them if they did not attend at the theatre to-day I should take proceedings against them. They said they would be there by 12 o'clock, so until after that hour I cannot give their names, as I promised not to do so. In the event of their not coming I will hand the cards to Mr. Selby, and he can do whatever he chooses. Mr. Selby—My object in attending, sir, was to learn whether I could take out a warrant for an assault. It is probable that these parties may come to the theatre at the hour appointed, and may make what they may call an ample apology. They may call it the throwing of a bouque —which is looked upon as a compliment. Mr. Henry—Yes, but then this is not a bouquet. This is a funeral wreath. Mr. Selby—Such an occurrence quite shocked Mrs. Selby's feelings. I understand your worship will grant me a warrant for the unmanly outrage. Mr. Henry—Most readily. Mr. Selby—lt is just possible the parties may attend at the hour appointed, and make what they consider an apology. They may say she's only an actress—that it was a bouquet, and that they are very sorry; but that will not satisfy me. Mr. Henry—Of course not. Mr. Swanborough has got the names of the parties, who, he says, arc officers in the army, and, if they don't come and do all you think proper, return to this court and I will grant you a summons to compel them to attend here. Mr. Selby—l have to thank you, sir, for your attention. We should not have troubl.A you if we had known you had the power of granting ea summons under such circumstances. Mr. Henry-011. yes, I have ; but you are not limited to that, Three courses aro open to you. You have the option C,i taking out a summons from this court, and if the offetiee is proved, a penalty of £5 may be inflicted; you can indict them it the sessions ; or you can bring an action for compensation. I am quite ready to grant you the sum mons, if the parties should fail to keep the appointment at the appointed time. Having thanked the magistrate, Mr. and Mrs. Selby re tired from the court. At :the hour appointed the three gentlemen attended at the Strand Theatre and tendered to Mr. Selby an ample apology. The incident bad, they said, merely been done as a freak, without the slightest intention to insult Mrs. Selby. THIS L_4 Y'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

LITE-BOAT EXPERIMENT. TRAMORE, NEAR WATERFORD, Jan. 17. 7 —We have had to-day a most suc cessful trial of the new lifeboat, which the National Life boat Institution sent to this place a week or two ago. She washauled down to the beach, and launched in a very heavy surf, blowing a gale from S.S.W., and was pulled out through all the breakers in a most gallant manner, and behaved so well that she was the admiration of an immense multitude, who witnessed the affair. The crew were com posed of fishermen and coastguardmen, who volunteered on the spot. This admirable lifeboat is on the plan of Mr. Peake, and was built by the Messrs. Forrestt, of Lime - house. 20 201 e ' lOO 100 Stook 741 I 'I Business Done. 9 1 i i SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. FLASH BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE. • Sir,—lt has long been the boast of racing men that whatever attacks are made against themselves or their profession, they are enabled to rely for able defence and refutation upon that portion of the press devoted to their exclusive interests. It matters little to them individually what calumnies may be .propounded respecting th e i r c h aracter, or reflections cast upon their avocations, for they can always point with honest pride to you and your contem poraries for an able refutation and irresistible reply. The past season has, more than any of its predeces sors, called for the exercise of this power, and man fully have you displayed it. With a fearlessness of expression, and force of argument, that has obtained commendation even from those antagonistic to our cause; the sporting press has resisted, and finally defeated the false logic of the anti-turfite's plea. You have now, I submit, another duty to perform —not to combat with hostile prejudice, but to resist an abuse at home—to expose a growing evil in our own ranks which calls for instant remedy and sup pression. The experience of the last month will at once reveal the practice to which I allude--that of systematically deceiving and imposing upon the reporters at Tattersall's, in making up their list of quotations. Sir, as a member of the Room, I speak advisedly and from experience upon this point. I have seen the reporters repeatedly informed of b e t s which have ne ver b een l a id , and induced by mis representation to return a list very foreign to the correct state of the market at the time; and, further, I have seen this fraud practised by men of high position in the Room, whose status would appear sufficient to absolve them from so unworthy and mean a proceeding. During the past month the " state of parties" at Tattersall's has been some thing like the following :—A certain cliqu e own a horse o f most inferior pretensions in the Chester Cup, whom, hgwever ' they fancy sufficiently to i nves t upon at "long shots," in the expectation of getting him well in. Another body, which we will suppose is stationed at the Opposite part of the room, have the same end in view, and are pursuing a similar course. A member of the former party informs your reporter that 50 to 1 has been taken about the hopeful representa tive of the latter body, adding, however, with gra tuitous effrontery, that he should like to take 40 to 1, if he could get it. Scarce has he left, when the scene is reversed, and the same information is ten dered by the opposite side. The reporter makes out his list, and of course each party repudiates the quotation which refers to itself, while the disin terested members, knowing neither to be true, dis claim both. Your representatives are, therefore, rendered totally unfit to discharge their duties sa tisfactorily, and : from what bets are legitimately made being transacted in a corner of the room, or outside, or purposely kept from the know ledge of the reporters, they cannot bring their own etperience to bear upon the return they compile, and the country is thereby supplied with a list of quotations made up to suit the particular interests of certain individuals. In all sincerity I pity those who attend the. Subscription room to report the proceedings, because they most unjustly become accused of interested motives in entering these " cooked" quotations, and however acute and careful they may be, it is impossible for them to sift the dross from the ore, the truth from the invention. Moreover, the ulausibility with which the imposition is effected is seen from the mode of action adopted by the perpetrators in care lessly opening their book and in either reading to the reporters bets which are now entered therein, or with a view to stronger confirmation wilfully entering fictitious ones, and showing them. These facts are indisputable, and two or three parties are notorious for playing off this trick, which must be exposed, and that speedily, or we shall have them made the text for another ridiculous effusion from a certain author who now lives on his former reputa tion by exhibiting himself to the British public at the small charge of a shilling a head ! The matter should at once be taken up by the committee of the Room, and duly considered by them. I confess at present I see no remedy further than abstaining from any quotations before the weights for handi caps appear—a proceeding, however, which would not half effect the cure, as the game is equally played with " dead 'uns" for the Derby and other races. This much, however, I may say, that when the Turf and its adherents are next attacked, or when the social position of the betting man is next assailed, he cannot expect the sporting press to defend the cause of those who so wilfully and un blushingly impose upon its representatives in their efforts to faithfully discharge an onerous public duty.—l enclose my card, and am, sir, your obedient servant, AN INDEPENDENT MEMBER OF TATTERSALL'S. [We cordially re-echo the above sentiments, and have repeatedly endeavoured to baffle the designing efforts of the class referred to by our correspondent, but the practice is continued with such unblushing effrontery that it now only remains for the Com mittee to interfere.—ED. Bell's Life.] BETTING AT MANCIfESTER.-FRIDAY. - - Notwithstanding, that the handicap for the Chester Cup is considered to be ridiculously light, it gives every pros pect of becoming an excellent betting race, as will be seen from the lengthy list of quotations we have given upon it. At the commencement of business about £lOO each was in vested upon Drogheda and Royal Sovereign at 25 to 1. At the close, however, 28 to 1 w a s th e i r taking price, and these odds would have been taken to money. 1,000 to 30 would have been taken about Polestar. Less odds than 40 to 1 were refused about either Physician, "Wilton, or Pen sioner. 40 to 1 was offered either against Wrestler, Under hand, or Herne ; th a t figure, however, was taken to a little money about Queenstown. Raspberry was in great force at 50 to 1. The same remarks apply to Bankrupt. Black thorn and Arsenal were both much. out of favour. For the 2,000 Guineas 5 to 1 was currently offered on the field, and 8 to 1 agst Phantom ; 375 to '25 was taken about Lord of the Manor. For the Derby Reynard was backed to win about £3,000 at 100 to 3. No other horse was named for this event, nor was anything done upon the Liverpool Chase. CLOSING PRICES.

We have no doubt it has often fallen to the lot of many of our readers to have the pleasure of visiting John Scott's establishment at Whitewall, and of witnessing the horses he has in training gallop on the Wold. To such the truthfulness of Baron Alderson's description will at once present itself, whilst those who have not been so fortunate, will, we are certain, be pleased with the learned baron's faithful portraiture of the first training establishment in the world; and his remarks upon the state of siege in which the whole house is kept ought to go far to subdue the prejudice which parties who lose their money are apt to entertain towards the trainers of race horses. " Whilst at York," Baron Alderson writes to one of his daugh ters, "we went over to Mr. Scott's, at Malton, where we saw the most exquisite horses, in such order ! Each with his groom-boy attend• ing him, rubbing him down, clothing and feed ing him, like a young nobleman with his tutor. Most of them appeared very gentle. I was desired to feel how hard the muscles of their crests were, and the particular meritorious points of each were noted, with names and pedigrees, &c., &c. I saw three which are to win, or be near winning, the next Derby, and many others whose names, I am ashamed to say, I have forgotten ; but which, but for that; would live in my recollection. I was really much delighted with so much equine beauty and blood. After this inspection, which, as there were fifty at least, took - some time, we adjourned to breakfast, where I was introduced to Mr. Butler, the celebrated jockey, with whom I conversed on the secrets of sweating down to a riding weight, and was surprised to learn what blankets and fasting will do. Before Lent is over I will, perhaps, illuminate your mind on these sublimer mysteries of the art. Our breakfast, I am sorry to say, was not an exemplification of the rule. I presume 'the Pope of jockeys had on this day granted him a dispensation. * * * After breakfast we started to see the inspected horses gallop on the Wold, a most charming turf, elastic and soft, with a good deal of undulation, and commanding a most extensive prospect—in one direction sixty miles of valley. When we got to the top, we took our station, and presently came by, in cantering and galloping succession, our fifty horses—a most beautiful sight. Our host, acting as nomenclator, called out the name of each as it the orders transmitted to the military and naval authorities at Toulon and Marseilles are regarded as strong evidence of approaching war. Two batteries of artillery mounting guns on a new principle, which have lately been submitted to proof at Vincennes, were to have been despatched from Marseilles. One battery was intended for Algiers and the other one for Oran. It was on the occasion of proving these guns that General Ardan lost his life. A ministerial order, however, has diverted the batteries from their original destina tion►, and they are now lodged in our arsenal, entry to• which is strictly forbidden. An enormous quantity of cartridges has within the last few days been received here and deposited in the forts St. Jean and St. Nicholas, but it is unknown for what quarter they are intended. The convoys passing through the streets of Marseilles, escorted by infantly, afforded to the citizens ample proof that warlike stores were arriving. Large quantities of gunpowder have also been received, and the commissariat here is em ployed in accumulating stores of lint, bedding, and necessary appliances for hospitals. The keepers of the military provision stores have recommenced work in their bakehouse; 4,500 rations are daily manufactured, and large quantities of flour have been purchased. The. direction of the Lyons and Mediterranean Railway have stated their readiness to place all their mat3riel at the disposal of government for the conveyance of troops, stores, &c., and the man agers of the Marseilles and Toulon Railway have also placed one of their lines of rail at the disposal of Government from the Ist of March next. At Toulon the Admiralty has collected largo stores of provisions of all descriptions, and have bought at public auction 600,000 litres of wine. The armament is being carried on in all parts with activity, and the French government is forti fying the docks of Marseilles, in which incalculable treasures are amassed. At Toulon the building of transport ships is progressing incessantly, 4nd works go on even on Sundays. Reports state that these vessels are in tended for Algeria, for the purpose of bringing from thence those troops who have seen most service. In our town works are being carried on far the compression of hay, as was done during the Crimean war. However, lam bound to state that up to the present moment there has been no movement of the troops. passed in review. Then we went to another part and walked to a knoll of furze, and shortly after came by our friends again in full gallop, like a race, in a cluster of ten or twelve, then four or five, and so on—a sort of succession of races. Mr. Butler did us the honour to get on one and lead the race. What struck me much was the tenderness with which the horses ar© treated, and their consequent gentleness. After this we went to see the yearlings in a paddock —one, a year old, cost X 450. Before leaving, our host showed us all the interior arrangements of the establish. ment. The boys live life collegians at a common table, and are locked up at night like schoolboys, and a man sits up all night to watch, lest rogues should break in and poison the horses in training. This is the bad part of the thing. It is obvious the establishment is in a state of continual siege and fear of internal treachery. On the Wold we saw in various points men lounging about. ' Who is that ?" Oh ! that's Manchester Bill touting for somebody.' So these loungers were all watching the training in connection with betters in London and Liverpool, &c. Each of them writes daily to his employers, such a horse does well, such a horse is lame, such a horse coughs, and the like—and then the rogues go and bet with people who don't know it, and so are sure to win. Indeed our friends and entertainers seem to do so too, by certain avowals they made, I mean availi ng th emse l ves of what they fairly knew, but as I think unfairly used. Such is jockey morality —to me similar to obtaining money by cheating ; but it is obvious all do it—and it is called fair."—Bell's L. TOULON. The following are extracts from a private letter, datedMarseilles,l9th inst.,received at Mr. Reuter's office : MALTA. MALTA, Jan. 10.—By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers three seamen of her Majesty's ship Chesapeake came home overland from India. invalided. This is the first time that the overland route has been used for conveying seamen. Lieut. A. 0. Macfarlane, of her Majesty's ship Recruit, died from apoplexy. Mr. E. C. Hall, of her Majesty's ship Marlborough, obtains the vacancy. Lieutenant-Colonel Corknett, Hon. East India Company's Service, many years resident in Calcutta, died at Valetta on the 12th. The Bombay mails of the 14th December arrived at Suez on the Ist Jannary, previous to the Cal cutta mail of the Bth of December having left Alexandria. The Indus did not wait for it, and it being very early there was no steamer of the Peninsular and Oriental Company at Alexandria to bring it on till the arrival of the Behar, which returned to Malt a early on the 14th, and proceeded on with the portion rut Gibraltar at 9 a.m. the, same day, the overland portion being detained for the Euxine till the 16th, the Behar being so much faster a vessel. The Bombay mail would have been two days earlier had there been a vessel to convey it 'from Alexandria, and four days earlier via Marseilles. Her Majesty's ship Caradoc left with a telegram for Cagliari immediately after the arrival of the. Behar. There is a report current in Malta that it is in contemplation by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company to remove their coaling sta tion from Malta to Cagliari. Among the alleged advantages are mentioned that it will only require two steamers to convey the mails and passengers from Marseilles to Cagliari, whereas it requires four to Malta, and that the steamers from Gibral tar will not have to hug the dangerous coast of Barbary so close as at present, and that it will be a great saving to the company in labour and house rent.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Monday a very melancholy occurrence took place off the coast near Peven soy (a small town on the Brighton and South Coast Railway, a dozen miles from Hastings), in consequence of the upset ting of a boat, which resulted in the death c f four men by drowning. From the particulars gleaned it appears that the coastguard boat, containing, five men—Dennis Perrin, chief boatman; Wm. Hutchings, commission boatman; and William Cook, Win. Brickell, and Michael Russell, boat men—had been off to the coastguard tender Active, and on their return the b oa t was swampe d . Th e chief officer in command of the station, Lieutenant Mansell, having wit nessed tho fearful accident, obsorvedthat one man (Russell) was floating, .supfkrted by an oar, and although the weather was extremely cold, and the sea very rough from a south west gale, which has been blowing on this coast ter some days, he courageously stripped and entered the water. By his gallant exertions he succeeded in rescuing this man with very great difficulty, both being completely exhausted. as may well be imagined, on coming onshore. The other four men, as before stated, met a watery grave. One of the bodies has since been washed ashore. Perrin, the chief boatman, has left a large family ; Cook has also five children under 14 years of age, the youngest being only eight weeks old. Brickell had only entered the service at the end of October. The sad event has created a very melancholy interest. In formation was immediately forwarded to the coroner, and an inquest will be shortly held. 100 101 171 10. 74 29 14 104 f 87i 5 44 97 & 24 3i 'ALS. Share] 26 i
