Vickers, - Naylor, and Co., iron and steel merchants, of Lon don, Liverpool, and New York, announcing that "log to the rapid and unexpected realisation of their assets in the United States they are now e nabled to pay in full all claims and d eman d s . 4 - . lala firm, it will be recollected, was one of the first to experience the effect of the late panic in Nov. hat- From the statement of the balance-sheet Prepared at that time the liabilities were esti mated ,7,t 364,2871., while the assets amounted to 5 89,934/., showing a surplus of 225,647/. The private estates also exhibited a surplus of about 39,000/, to 40,0001. after every claim thereon had be en s a ti s fied. Messrs. Dennistoun, Cross, and Co., another house who suspended payment about the same time, have announced their intention of paying on and after the 31st inst. the instalments on the several accounts due the 31st December, and on the Australian accounts due the 31st January next. Thus anticipating three engagements by several months. About 160,0001. in gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. It will thus be per ceived that the tide has turned, and unless a de cline in the Paris exchange should lead to a re newal of the efflux, the bullion at the Bank of England may soon receive some further important additions. There is now a large aggregate amount of gold on hand, brought by the vessels recently announced from Australia, and the 200,0001. con 'rayed by the Parana is expected in town to-morrow. There is every probability of the chief portion of these supplies being sent into the national esta blishment. Much satisfaction is naturally felt at the discontinuance of the drain to the Continent, for notwithstanding the excessive metallic reserves Still held, there is always much anxiety whenever the exports, by any sudden movement, exceed the Imports. The remittances to India continue limited, and the Colombo, which will leave South ipton to-morrow, will only take out 136,677/., "riz., as follows : Alexandria, (silver) Bombay (silver) 43,100 0 0 Madras (sovereigns) 737 0 0 Calcutta (silver) Penang (dollars) /ton g Kong (silver) • 10,654 0 0 53,715 0 0 Shanghai (silver) Total £136,677 0 0 Yesterday afternoon, the Continental Exchanges remained steady.

General proofs were admitted, one cf which was by a Mr. Dick, as co-trustee with the bankrupt and others ; the stun amounting to about 6,800/. had been lent to the bankrupt by the other trustees. His Honour said that the transaction bad been ex ceedingly improper, and although be would :admit the uroof he should put a memorandum on the proceedings that the dividend stiouid be securely invested for the benefit of the parties entitled to the funds. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE TREDDENICK. This bankrupt was de.eribed as of Gresham House, Old Broad street, share and mining agent, and today was appointed for his last examination, which had been adjourned from time to time with a view of superseding the bankruptcy, anti negotiations to that effect are still going on with a probability that the arrangement will be satisfactorily carried out. An adj )urnnment was there fore taken for a month. IN RE SALTER. This bankrupt had carried on business at Witham, Suffolk, and now came up for his certificate supported by Mr. W. R. Buchanan. Mr. Bagley appeared to oppose for several creditors, on the ground of fraudulent mi srepresentations, as the bankrupt had represented that he held a Copyhold estatz and had a building erected upon it, after he bad parted with his interest, he Lad also ordered goods with out means of paying. Mr. Buchanan urged that there had not been any fraudulent intention on the part of the bankrupt who was a youg man and had had the property left to him ; bene ficial to hint, as it was charged w i th claims to nearly if naostatihseo a l full amount. He (wNiars., hßo.)wtehveerre far from fore submitted that, although there might have been some indiscretion on the part of the bankrupt, it was not such as required any judgment of the court. His Honour considered that the opposition by Mr. Lester (one of the opposieg creditor.) had been made out, and therefore suspended the certificate for six months, and then to be of the third clas, without pro tection for three months. The bankrupt was taken into custody on an existing suit. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day., MAR LBO ROUG H-STREET.

The sh o w of sa PRICE OF GOLD.- The price of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille, and the short exchange on L on d on is 25.05 per pound sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17 s. 1 0, d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that g(lii is about 4-10th s p e r cent. dearer iu Paris than in London. B y advices f rom Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark, and the short Exchange on Loud/in is 13.51 per p oun d ster li ng. Standard gold at the English Mint price is there fore re' her more than 1-10th per cent, dearer in London that in Hamburg. The course of exchange at N ew Y or k on . Loudon for bills at 60 days' sight about 1091 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against Eng land ; and, after making allowances for charges of trans port and difference of interest, the present rate leaves no profit on the transmission of gold either way between the two countries.

Several witnesses were examined, but no material f ct respecting the accident was elici , ed. A plan of the portion of the railway where the accident took place was exhibited, and some of the evidence turned upon the question whether proper pre cautions had been taken to prevent animals from getting from the field on to the railway. Ode witness exoreseed his belief that the cow which had caused the accident bad jumped over a stile three feet high. The inquest was aga i„dj ourne d. Mr. Ince (who is not yet out of danger) is still slowly progressing towards recovery. Miss Richmond and Mr. Dallas are also progressing fa vourably. BIRTH EXTRAORDINARY —Our zoological readers will probably be interested to hear that a young hippopota mus has been born in the Garden of Plants at Paris. The little creature made its appearance at the top of the water of the tank occupied by its mother about 6 a.m. on Monday, May 10. After swimming about a while the little thing attempted to get on dry ground, but the descent from the sleeping apartment of the pa rent hippopotami into their bath not being sloped, it had some difficulty in raising its weight out of the water. The mother then came to the rescue, bat in her endea vours to assist her little one up the step managed so to bruise and injure its tender body that it died the same • evening. THE ATTEMPTED TNSURRECTION AT CHALON.— Th e Tribunal of Correctional Police of Chalon-sur-Saone yesterday commenced the trial of the men who were concerned in the outbreak near that place:on the 6th of March la,t. The number of these men is 36, and they are all workmen, labourer e, or petty traders. All are accused of having formed part of a secret political society for the overthrow of the Government, and some of them are in addition charged with having formed a nocturnal assemblage, others with having carried arms or had illegal possession of arms and ammunition, with having, attempted to seduce soldiers from their duty, with hav ing uttered seditious cries, or with resisting the police. Toe trial, it is expected, wid last several days, as sixty witnesses have been called for the prosecution, and sone hundred for the defence. The principal accused, a man named Serey, better hnown by the name of Henri, is in flight ; another of the accused has also fled ; but the other thirty-four are in custody. Serey is about thirty two years of age, and was for some time an active de magogue at Marmande and Agen. A fter the coup d'6tat he was condemned to transportation, but he fled from France and for serne time wandered about Italy and Spain. Henri obtained a pardon, returned to France, and took up his residence at Chalon-sur-Saone. Being of plausii,le manners and posses-ing a certain facility of elocution, he soon obtained great influence over the workmen, and they got up a secret society. It was principally through the exertions of these men that the insurrectional attempt of March 6 took place. The trial was proceeding when the report left. FATAL RAILWAY AOCIDENT.—Riohard Forshaw, a man employed as a horse driver at the Edge-hill sta tion of the London and North-Western Railway, was accidental:v killed last week by being run over on the line. 'He was attaching a horse to some waggons when an engine came np, struck the row of waggons, and Forshaw, who was knocked down, was so in jured that he died a few days afterwards. The co roner's jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." Captain John Sanderson has been appointed to the Archer, Lieut. J. H. Thomas and Lieut. R. Pitman to the Archer, and W. L. Gordon, surgeon, to the Fisgard. COMIIUNICATION WITH RUSSIA.—The Anglo-French steam Packet Company have established a line of steamers between St. Petersburg and Great Grimsby, in connection with the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway. The first vessel, the Grimsby, s, fine ship of 900 tons, was de , patched last week, and '3 a a been followed by the Yarborough. The City of Manchester steamship, Capt. James Kennedy, embarked at Portsmouth yesterday afternoon the troops enumerated yesterday, and Se ill leave with them to-day for their several desti nations. She is beautifully fitted up, and was last employed for the East India Company in convey ing the Ist (King's) Dragoon Guards and oth er troops from Gravesend to India, which she did in 6G days. The other movements at Portsmouth Yesterday were the following :—The Pacific steam ship arrived from the eastward to embark this day the Roscommon Militia for Dublin, on the way to Roscommon, to be disembodied. The Vul can troopship, Commander John' Scccombe, went into 1 harbour from Spithead, to laud the passengers, Sc., reported yesterday.

Soon after the commencement of the sport the wind blew a hurricane, shaking the wooden stand, and threatening to rend the canvas from the bo o th s . It however soon subsided, and, with the exception of now and then a smart shower of rain, the after noon turned out propitious. The course was not so well attended as we have s e en it on preceding "opening days," but the calling off in the assem blage of spectators was mainly attributable to the lowering clouds and bleak atmosphere. The high wind exerci ,, ed a most beneficial effect on the run ning ground, drying the gras3, and rendtring the course generally " good going." The preparations for the Derby Day have been completed on the usual extensive scale. The Grand Stand has been thoroughly cleaned and renovated, and, should the weather be fine, this English car nival will be marked by its wonted gay and excit ing incidents. The field will not perhaps number more than 20 runners, but the changes in the bet ting and the open charac'er of the race contribute to sustain the curiosity of those persons who have only made a ventu re i n a private "sweep," whil s t they heighten the expectation and deepen the in terest with which legitimate turfites regard the event. Al'hough no such sudden demonstration wax made as that which last year brought Tournament to the foremost place in the betting, yet the ad vance of Toxopholiteland the retrogression of Fitz- Roland were movements of no less imponance. Lord Derby's horse was made the decided favoui ite, and was most spiritedly supported. A "shade of odds" over 4 to 1 would have been eagerly booked about him. The success of Zuyder Zee caused his stable companion, East Langton, to rise to 15 to 1, taken freely. The other changes do not require comment. We have given at the end of our repot t the latest quotations on the course. The Woodcote Stakes was the only event of prO spective• importance decided to-day. The other races merely excites a transient interest. Sutijo,ned i+ a return of the running : The Craven Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, for three-year-olds and npwards.

Migeon ; and, neverthule,;s, a telegram • ecei wed in Paris yesterd,,y afte noon announces his election as deputy for the Haut-Rhin. Eithei'M. Migeun must be a r,inlrkable man to hare suc ceeded against such formidable force, or the Go vernment must have lest all i•s popularity in Alsace, where formerly the name of Napoleon was a tower of strength. Should the news of N. Migeon's success be con firmed, I look upon it as a fact of far greater gravity than the election of three Oppos;Lon candi dates. When we remember the all but irresistible machinery brought to bear against him —his trial before the Tribunal of Colmar—the contumely which was heaped upon him; which grew to.petse cntion, 1 - 1(.1 which invested him with the charaCter tf a martyr—the animosity (of which, as is currently reported, the cause is somewhat se.i..ndalous) of one of the most influential pet sonages of the day—the dm et and positive, but not ova decorous, inter vention of the Minister at whose i eeK are prefects and mayors and the whole of the civil functionalics —the dicta' orial language of the first military officer oft :e department—when all this is cal'ed to mind, the election of this man, flesh flora his prison, and with his political and personal character covered with every sort of indignity by officials, from the highest to the lowest, c (la La-dly l.e exaggerated iu itnpor:anc:..—Times' second edition. TRAGICAL OCCURRENCE O.P. 21:111 DPRHAM COAST. A painful feeling was occasioned in NorthShierlde on Monday when it was known that a most tra gical acc;dent had occurred off the Durham coast on the previous evening, and that three young men belongiuu to the town had been drowned. It seems that Mr. Alexander Af'Donald, shopman with Messrs. Phillipson and Hare, booksellers i n North Shields, an d M r. John Cookson, chemist in the same town, bad proceeded during the afternoon to Msrden Rock, on the Durham coast, in a large soy goat, Jigged with two lugger sails, and navi gated by a man n ame d R . Coatsworth and a lad called Wheatley. The weather had been ,tolerably fine at the time the patty left the Tyne, though changeable, and there was a swell breaking on the coast. Coatsworth does not appear to have lien a good sailor, and as they approached towards the shore to land at the rock they encountered a good deal of sea, which seemed to be breaking across a sandbank. One of these seas, about two feet high, overlapped the bcat and half filled her with water, and a second sea struck her on the quarter and capsized her, throwing the four young men into the raging waves. They could all swim, and three of them, M'Donald and the two boatmen, got on to the boat's bottom, but Couk , ort kept swimming about. He observed an other wave coming, and dived. When he came up again he found that the boat had carried away Ler masts, and that she was floating about, gun wale up. Hi companions were scattered about, and he cslled upon M'Donald. to swim towards him. They met and M`Donsld got hold of hishand, and exclaimed that he was dreadfuly weak. He asked Cookson if he saw any boats cowiug to their rescue, who replied that he did not, but told him to rest his hands on his shoulder, and they must dive at the next wave. They did so, but on rising again were separated. Cookson then attempted to push ari oar to him, but the back sweep pre vented him reaching it. At this time M'Donald's dog was seen by Cookson swimming with a plebe of plank toward s hi s master , w hi c h h e put into his hand, and M'Donald was enabled to reach the boat again, to which Coatsworth and another were clinging. They hung by the boat, w hi c h was full of water for a m i nu t or two, when Cookson ob served another great wave surging towards them. He dived to avoid being struck by it, and when he came up again he discovered that his companions had been swept into eternity, and that he and M'Donald's dog were tossing about on the sea alone. He made a desperate effort to reach the shore, and after a hard struggle with the back sweep of the waves he at last succeeded in reaching the bottom with his feet, when a young woman ran into the water and assisted him out. The young wo man was one of the daughters of Mrs. Allan, who keeps the hotel at the rock, and it is stated that she was engaged to .IWDonaldalAs soon as he was got. on shore she asked how manythere were in the boat, and observed that if M'Donald had been there none of them would have been lost. Cookson replied, "M'Donald was one of us," and the poor girl ran screaming to the house. A riled:cal man was sent for as soon as Cookson was taken to the hotel, and by prompt attention he recovered. He is a powerful young fellow, and is one of the beat swimmers =- the Tyne. He holds several medals for skill in swimming. Mr. M'Donald, whose death is deeply. deplored, also held two medals presented to him by the Royal Humane Society--one for rescuing a person at Blackwall while he was an assistant with Messrs. Simpkiu and Marshall, in London, and the other for saving the life of a woman flora drown ing at Chorley, in Lancashire. His body was re covered on Monday afternoon.
