The above The accounts received from the various manufac turing districts represent tha• during t' e past week the demand for summer golds has slightly increased, more particularly at L-ede where light fabrics suitable for summer wear have been actively dealt in. The Easter holidays, howeves, have interfered with the regular course of business. At Halifax, the unseasonable change in the weather has checked the sale of worsted w) is ; there has also been a considerable falling off in the sale of piece goods. In wools and yarns there has been very little bnoi ness transacted, and at the public sale of wools of Messrs. Cheeseborough and Sons the prices realised were fully as high as expected. At Leicester there is little activity to notice in the hosiery trade. A few shipping orders have been given out, but there is a great scarcity of orders for the American, and the demand for home consumption still continues inactive. Business at Not inglaam has been dull, and the chief demand has been for home use. A thorough revival of activity in the lace trade is not anticipated for some time to come. At Birmingham aff-tire in the iron dis tricts have assumed a rather more settled aspect. The demand for the American and East Indian markets, however, continues very inactive. There is little improvement at the iron foundries of the district, and a considerable number of the opera tives still continue out of employment. In the lighter branches rather more activity prevails, but the button trade remains depressed ; and the colliers of the neighbourhood have all returned to their work at the reduced scale of wages, The hardware trades at Wolverhampton con tinue very heavy, and the saddlers' ironmongery trade at Walsall has not been in so inactive a state for many years. Business at Manches•er has been Very dull, and the advance in prices ob - ained during the earlier part of the week was entirely lost. In yarns, however, for export there was a fair demand chiefly for the German markets. The home trade in yarns, however, has not been active. The Liverpool Cotton market on Saturdday closed heavily, and prices of all descriptions were without any material alteration. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, 1,500 of which were taken by the speculators. In the Railway Share Market there was less animation, and quotations were unchanged. In Lombard-street the demand for money con tinues moderate, and the payment of the April dividends seems to have increased the available supplies for commercial purposes. Every facility, so far as accommodation is concerned, is offered to the mercantile commuuity ; but while trade in the colonies, the United States, and on the continent re raeins so depressed, no improvement can be expected here. The traffic returns from the various railways still denote the extreme inactivity of business, and the same conclusive evidence is afforded in France. As the summer approaches, however, some revival may be experienced, for the news from the India markets is more favourable, while in some of the States of America encouraging symptoms are also manifested. Large supplies of Australian gAd are coming forward, and some of th m are now over due ; these will assist in keeping the money market in an easy state, and insure a large stock of bullion in the Bank vaults. A favourable impression has been caused by the advices received this morning from America, which give the exchange on London at the advanced quo tation of about 108. This is still about 1i per cent. against England, but as the tendency was upwards, it is concluded that the exports of gold from this country will be limited.

Most kinds sold steadily at an improvement in value of from is. to 2s. per quarter. Barley realised extreme rates, and other spring corn com manded very full prices. Flour was the turn dearer. There has been rather more firmness in the corn trade generally throughout the continent, and prices have been been fully supported. In the United States very little is doing for export to England. The arrivals of English wheat up to our market last week, coastwise and by land carriage, were limited. The imports from abroad amounted to 5,58/ quarters of wheat, 19,481 of barley, 19.413 of oats, 1,030 rye, 1,449 beans, 189 peas, 712 tares, 35 linseed, 465 rapeseed, 184 sundry seeds, and 1,094 sacks of flour. Coastwise, a very moderate supply of English wheat was received up to our market to-day, and the receipts by land carriage were limited. The show of samples was, therefore, very moderate, but nearly the whole of the sup ply cane to hand in good saleable condition. The atten dance of town and country millers was on the increase, and we had a steady, though sot to say brisk, demand for all kinds of wheat of horse produce, at is to 2s per quar ter above the rates current on Monday last. There was an improved feeling in the demand for foreign wheat, the show of which was seasonably good, and prices generally advanced is per qr. compared with this day sen'nigkt. Floating cargoes of grain were in improved request, on rather higher terms. Owing to a large influx of foreign barley, that article was less active. Prices, however, were supported. We had a slow sale for malt, at last week's currency. Very few home-grown oats were on offer, but the sup ply of foreign was good. The oat trade was steady, at fully last week's prises. Beaus were in short supply and fair request, at fall quo tations. We had a steady sale for peas, at fully late rates. There was a better feeling iu the flour trade, and coun try flour was the turn dearer.

APPREHENSION AND EXAMINATION OF THE BROTHER OF THE MURDERED MAN. PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY, APRIL 10. This day at three o'clock in the afternoon, being fixed for the examination of Edwin Hart, tho brother of the unfortunate man, Daniel Hart, who was most mysteriously murdered on the night of aturday, the 13th of March, the entrance to the gaol in Penny-street, which is also used as the police office, was crowded by persons long before the stated hour, who were anxious to obtain admis sion to be present at the proceedings. Hither . ° this murder has been completely shrouded in mystery, inasmuch as no object for the commission of the crime could be assigned, beim; perpitrated at the street door of the house in the presence of a witness, and no attempt at robbery appeared to have been made. The coroner's investigation tended to throw but little light on the transaction, except so far as was obtained from Mrs. Vick, the k€eper of the house where the deceased lodged as to a description of the person of the man who committed the murder, and that ha was dress-d in a Macintosh coat, and wore a glazed bat. On Thursday last Mr. Superintendent Leg gatt, of the Portsmouth Borough Police, received certain information which has led to the appre hension of the prisoner on suspicion of the murchs-, being no other than the brother of the murdered man. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that the prisoner is a clerk, and was employed in the office of Mr. Swainson, the Admiralty coroner, in High street, Portsmouth, and that gentle man professionally attended the coroner's in quiry as to the death of Hart, to watch the case on behalf of the relaeives of the deceased. The peculiar circumstances of the case and the person now charged with the commission of this foul deed, have led to au excitement almost with out a precedent in this town and neigiibouth.od. The I\l4yor presided, and the bench was tilled by magistrates, am itigs: whom were the ex Mayor, Mr. A. Nance, and Mr. NV. B, Carter. Mr. R. W. Ford, solicitor, appeared for the pro sectiti, n ; Mr. Field, of Gosport, fix the prisoner. Mr. Foid briefly stated the case which he should have to lay before the court against the prisoner at the bar, an I said that it was one of vast import ance, not only as regarding the public, but as to its deep and serious consideration towaids the pri soner, and most sincerely did he (Mr. Ford) wish that he might be able to give an answer that would be satisfactory to the evidence that he should have to adduce. It would appear that on Thursday last the superintendent of police (Mr. Leggatt) received a communication, and in consequence of that he waited upon the prisoner, and having put some questions to him, his answers were so unsatisfac tory that he felt it to be his duty to take him into custody on suspicion of having murdered his bro. ther, and subsequent inquiries led to the discovery of other circumstances, which would be detailed to the bench. Mr. Superintendent Leggatt was then called. Mr. Ford—You are superintendent of the police of this borough ! Mr. Leggatt—l am. Mr. Ford—l believe your attention has been called to the circumstances attending a murder com mitted in this town ou Saturday night, the 13ih of March 1 Mr. Leggatt—Ye3, myattention has been drawn to that unhappy event, and I have for some time been engaged in endeavouring to trace the mur derer. Mr. Ford—ln consequence of information you had previously received did you go cie Thursday last to Mr. Swainson's office, where the prisoner was employed I—.l did ; it was about half past 11 o'clock in the morning. Who did you see there 7—Mr. Swainson and the prisoner. What did you say ?-I said to Mr. Hart, " I have come to talk to you about some information I have received. a' What reply did he make I—He made some short reply ; but I do not remember what it was. I then said, I have been informed that you went to a beer shop on Sunday morning, the 14th of March, at about a quarter past 12 o'clock, to which he im mediately replied, "I did not." I went on to say, " The beer-shop is the Portsmouth Arms, in Penny street, Portsmouth. You had a glass of beer there, and you had on a Mackintosh coat, and Mrs. Whiting, the landlady of the house, has told me so." What reply did he make I—He said, "It is a lie. I was not in Portsmouth all that night, and I have not got a Mackintosh coat." Mr. Leggett—l told him it was a serious thing, and asked him to go with me to Mrs. Whiting's and face it out, but he said he would not go. I remonstrated, end said, " Surely you don't mean that ; for I wound go to the end of the earth to prove my innocence of such a charge." He said Ile should be out of the office at twelve o'clock. Au inspector, Deist], was with me during the conver sation, and Mr. Swainson was also there the greater part of the time. We then lef the place, but placed ourselves in such a situation as to be enabled to see when he should leave the place, but up to half-past twelve o'clock he did not come out. About that time I saw Mrs. Whiting, the landlady of the Portsmouth Arms, coming across High-street, and I went to meet her, and had some conveisation with her, and in consequence of what she told me I went back to Mr. Swainson's office, accompanied by Inspector Daish and Mts. Whiting. Mr. Swainson and Hart were both present. I asked Mrs. Whiting if she knew Hart, and she immediately said " Yes ; I will swear you are the man I served with a glass of ale about a quarter-past 12 on Saturday night, the i 13th of March, and you then wore a Alaciiiht::o coat." The prisoner—" Nonsense, wornant,:mal with not got a Macintosh, and I was not in Po:_ d, ~ I on that night." Mrs. Whiting then u said, heard a knock at the door, were in a in. You asked me for a glass of ale,pay for it. andand slacildoete,o_ou hurry, and you gave me B i l _lri went to the back There being no light in the t Del- you change. I had room for a candle, tooe:useegive I suspected you were a good look at you, oec a nd might have come to a policeman in le e after twelve o'clock. That you so well." We all came entrap me for servingdisull know' is the re ason but ehortly a fterwards I wont again to Mr. away, , of fi ce , and told Hart that it wa s a - very S w ainson s . unp l e asant business, and that he must go before th e magistrates. Ile again refused to go, but I told him that I should be most happy if he could ex plain away any suspicious circumstances, but I had a duty to perform, and that he must go. Upon that he went with me to the police-office, and on the way denied that he ever wore a Mackintosh coat in his life. He was taken before the magi strates and remanded for eight days. Shortly after wards I went, accompanied by al police constable, to the prisoner's house in West-stree-, and in a cupboard in the front lower room a double-barrelled pistol was found by the police constable, which I 1101 11 101 201 46 7 6i 81 21 191 1 111 1 PERIAG MEASI7Itt Sis.lt —Chevalier ....

YORK. The Craven Meeting lost none of its distinguishing characteristics. From time immemorial the proceed. ingu have been marked by more or less dulness, and the sport has never been celebrated far its abundance. People, however, grumbled more than is their wont at the paucity of the racing, but their ill temper and fault finding propensities were perhaps strengthened by the searching east wind which blew great guns throughout the week. Indeed, the sport itself was of peculiar import ance. Were not two Derby favourites brought out, and was there note great match for 3,000/. I Still these in teresting even ts exercised no in fluence on the company, and no wonder that the hotel proprietors and lodging keepers complained dolefully of the scanty attendance. Indeed, the aristocratic habitues of the heath assembled in smaller number than usual ; and a drearier appearance than that presented by the town last week, I never remember, The Jewish Disabilities Bill seems destined to be thrown out as frequently on the turf as it is in the Upper House. Sydney last year could not carry it through, and Ment more has failed in a similar attempt. The sadden appearance of Toxophilite at Newmarket excited amongst a certain clique as much consternation as a nocturnal visit from a fox would occasion in a hen roost. Knowing that " Tex " was unprepared, Lsrd Derby wished to save stakes with the Baron, who, however, fancying that the Premier would be disinclined under any circumstances to send his cham pion into the list, refused the offer. At this conduct Lord Derby took umbrage, and despatched a telegram for " Tox.," poet him to the post, and showed that be could make the Jewish disabilities as great on the turf ae they are in the Senate. Almost as much curiosity was evinced to see Eclipse saddled as was displayed at the reporter's "private box," in which the members of the four representatives of the press held a regular levee, and round which jockeys, trainers, and betting men con gregated to sympathise with the members cf the Fourth Estate in their banishment. Eclipse won his engage ment like a racehorse. He disposed of Telegram without an effort, although the spectators were indulged with the semblance of a race when the h ‘rses were about half-way up the cords. If Clydesdale he vastly superior to Eclipse, Mr. Howard has indeed strong grounds for the confidence he places in that horse's Two Thousand and Derby Chance. The Claret Stakes brought out Arsenal, Ignoramus, and Kent. The little'un chopped down the big'uns at the bill, and his success disproved the opinion, which many people were inclined to entertain, about the softness of the Robert de Gorham stock, while Ignoramus's defeat strengthened the conviction that the Flying Dutchman:, are flyers at two-yr-olds, but "duffers" afterwards. The racing at Catterick bas produced a telling effect in the market. The running of Kelpie has brought Mr. Peres horse to a short price in the betting, whilst the performance of Pelisier was deemed sufficiently satie tory to bring him into prominent notice. This evening my " Notes" will be under the eye of many voyageurs to York, where the Spring Meeting will ooinmence to-morrow. Indeed, the revels on Knaves mire have already been inaugurated, for, on the ground at the back of the Grand Stand, an admirable steeple cha,e course has been marked out, and the military steeple-chases will be run over it this day. My busi ness, however, will be scltly with the legitimate events. The programme is most attractive, and the handicaps are specimens of the art of weighting animals in aecordance with their known merits and pretensions. Ten events will be decided in the two days, and they are lik- ly to bring out more competitors than were seen at Newmarket througb.ut the entire Craven week. The "per formers " of approved merit, amongst the nominations the Z3tlarid Stakes, are the Dutchman's Daughter, Miss Finch, and Sir Waiter Scott, all of whom have incurred a penalty of 2/. each. The dark division comprises some animals with whose reputation report has already been busy. May Morning, Queen Char lotte, Back Eagle, and Meg Merrilees have been most talked about, but I sjall place my faith in the ski.tish Miss Finch. The Duke has been freely backed fir the Great Northern Handicap, and if hie trial be correct he is entitled to the support which he bas received. I am, hoe ever, ec , ptical of his ability, and bad as War cester hao proved himself to be, I shall expect him to beat The Dupe at a stone. John Scott is al flays formid able at York, and his stlble will be represented by War lock, who surely will take a deal of beating. fahi %souk ran si well last year, that I am compelled to regard his chance with the utmost pat titility. His party entertain sanguine expectations of his success ; he is described as "never fitter," and I have full faith in his pretensions. Although Gammon could have beaten Turret at Liverpool much easier, vet the latter's light weight, and the form which be evid,ntly po•sesses, will enable him to get home in the front rank. He will be ridden by little Daly, and a more efficient lad could not be placed upon his back. Without, therefore, entering into an elaborate discussion of the chance of the other animals likely to go to the post, I shall express my belief in the ability of either BASHI SAZOIIK OR TURRET • to pull through. Fdr a cockboat I shall select Warl oek Kelpie ought to beat Antiquary for the Spring St. Leger, and the Knavesmire Plate seems likely to be car ried off by a two-yr-old, 51iss Finch and Raspberry being perhaps the most attractive names in the list. The Loudesborough Cup will command a numerous field, and in selecting Polmo,idie, Comedian, Meta, Terrific, and Medallion, I believe that I shall have enumerated the winner. Strathnaver and the Physalis colt are my fancies for the Flyiag Dutchman' s Handicap, but the running for the Great Northern may upset all previously formed notions on this event. The Melton Meeting does not require notice. On Thursday I will refer fully to the " Last of the Metropolitans." AFRESH MAN. RUFF'S GUIDE TO THE TORT (Piper, Stephenson, and Spence, Paternoster-row).—The spring edition of this work has been for many days before the public,and is now in the hands of every racing man. Extraordinary labour and diligence have been be stowed upon its compilation, and several new fea tures have been introduced into it—the revised rules of betting, and the returns of steeplechases not being the least unimportant, and the general accuracy which distinguishes the work and the manner in which the information is arranged are the result of Mr. Feist's long practical acquaintance with racing affairs, and the requirements of sporting rules. FEIST'S RACING RECORD, a monthly work, is another hand book to which Mr. Feint's name is attached. Dif fering in its characteristics from " Ruff," it supplies an amount of neces , ary information arranged in a succinct form, which renders it a book of constant reference for turfites. The printer and publisher, Mr. Wright, has got the work up in a manner which reflects the greatest credit upon him. LATEST CITY BETTING—SATURDAY NIGHT.

I unscrewed the barrels and found in one marks of having been discharged, but there wan not the slightest smell of gun-powder. A bullet was found in the body of Daniel Hart, by Dr. Roper, in making a post mortem examination, and was produced before the coroner. A ball of that weight would precisely fit the chamber of the pistol produced. - Mr. Field here addressed the bench, and said, after such meagre evidence as that now adduced, he thought there was nothing th at attach ed the slightest suspicion towards the prisoner, and submitted that he should be at once discharged. At the same time the prisoner did not shun, but rather required, the moat ample investigation. He did not see that there were any groun d s for remanding him, . and justice to his character he ought at once to be discha rge d . In fact, although the magistrates might have some h earsay statement, they had no legal evidence that any murder had even been com mitted. i s saidtratesreti retired foruir required some t ef time, u rth a e n r d e v o in theTirhe m retu a rn g they g dence. Mr. Superintendent Leggatt—When. I first saw Hart at Mr. Swainson's, he said on the night of the murder he was at Tonsey's, at Landport, at half-past eleven o'clock, but I have ascertained that he left before that. Mrs. Mary Ann Whiting was the next witness. She said—l am the wife of Andrew Whiting, who keeps the Portsmouth Arms beer-shop, in Penny.. street, Portsmouth. I remember the 13th of March, the night on which Daniel Hart was mur dered. I returned home that night about 20 mmutes after 12 o'clock. I noticed the clock when I got home, so. l after I had taken my bonnet off, as my husband complained of my having stopped out so late. I had not been many minutes at home when I heard a knock at the door, and on going to it I saw the prisoner standing on the pavement in front of the house. He asked me for a glass of ale, and said "Serve me as quick as you can, for I am in a hurry." I drew the ale, and he paid me with a sixpence. I fetched a light from the next room into the bar aed gave him .40. in change. The light was very twat toh;m 2 so thatl had agood opportunity of see ng his f ateres. I took particularnotice of him He wore a Macintosh, :Leda hat of th .1 same material. It was a round hat, with a broad brim. I had full opportunity of se-ing him, as he remained for two or three minutes. When he left the house he turned to the left, and then crossed in the direction of High street. I saw hint again in the court during, the in quest on Daniel Hart, and I knew him imme diately. I again saw him at Mr. Swainson's office, in High-street, when I went there with Mr. Leg gett and Inspector Daish, and I have no doubt whatever that he is the same man I saw at my house on the night of the murder. When I hoard him speak at Mr. Swainsou's office lat once recognised his voice as that of the same man I had served with the ale on the night in question. As I was going home on that night I heard the clock strike 12. That was while I wasiu High -street. I had never seen the prisoner before. Cross-examined by Mr. Field—On the night in question all Le said was to ask me for a glass of ale, and I never heard him speak before. Mr. Leggett, Inspector Daish, and Mr. Swaiuson were present n hen I saw Hatt at the office in High-street. I did not notice Mr. Le,ggatt tap at the door, but some oue told him to come in. I did not then tell Mr. Leggett that that was the voice of the Iran I served with the ale. Ido not know whether Mr. Lsggatt pointed out Hart to me when he asked me if he was the man. I have heard that Government has offered a reward of 1001. to auy person who could gave evidence to convict the murderer of Daniel Hat t, but I mentioned what I knew to Mr. Leggett before the reward was offered. The man wore a light Macintosh coat, and I looked at him whilst I was taking the change for the sixpence from the till. I notic. d him the whole of the time he was at the bar, as I had my reasons for doing so. I took par ticular notice of him, because I thought he was a policeman in disguise. He was not agitated, and li,*(l no stick or umbrella. I mentioned these circumstances to my lodger More I heard of the murder. I mentioned it to the inspector of police, because I thought he was a policeman. In the week I aloo t,ld another person. Tile Macintosh worn by the man was not light-coloured, but the materials were of a light description, such as are usually worn by gentlemen. At this stage the proceedings were adjourned, and the prisoner remanded to a future day. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. THE FINALE OF THE COLLEGE ENIEUTH. The proceedings in College-street Police-court, as reported in The Sun of Saturday, is the leading t.)pic of this morning's papers. The Freeman, on the part of the p-dice, :uggests, with commend able taste, that the whole matter should termi nate at this stage, that bygones should be by gones, and that mutual reconciliation should be the order of the day. One of the College champions (the Express) takes a similar view of the affair, but the writer is laudably nervous at the reception with which the last act of the drama is likely to be met at the other side of the channel. By way of fore stalling the verdict the closing proceedings are thus treated : "It was, indeed, quite a scene. The Bench, though unused to the melting mood, was softened on this occasion, and a tear stole down the stern face of justice. Even the opposing counsel wax disarmed, and Mr. M'Donough declared, as a gen. tieman,' that he could not ask another question. How dramatic ! What a fine subject for the nove li,t ! One touch of nature on the part of the vene rable Colonel destroyed in a moment the hcstility of the ligitants ; all was regret, forgiveness, recon ciliation, brotherly kindness, and charity, and over this delightful scene the curtain dropped. Is there no one to dramatize the college field lost and won V It would make a capital farce, which, if tolerably well acted, would have a run of 100 nights, totally eclipsing -" Faustus" at the Theatre Royal. The dramatis persona', the accessories, the scenic ac companiments, the strange mixture of tragic and comic interest - , the rapidity of the action, and the spirit of the dialogue—all would be of the most ex citieg character, and the piece might end with the apotheosis of Col. Browne, surrounded by a band of wounded students, cheering and celebrating his victory. Seriously, we fear this business will make us very ridiculous to our neighbours at the other ride of the Channel. They will say—' What au im pulsive, impetuous, passionate, violent, changeful, forgiving people these Irish ate I Donnybrook Fair has been abolished, but the humour s o f Donny brook are inherent in the Irish character—wild, wayward, fickle, loving and hating, joking and fight ing, shaking Lands, and breaking one another's heads almost in the same breath, and then quite overcome by their feelings,' shaking hands again, and perhaps chairing the commander-in-chief of 'the skull-crackers.'" Nevertheless, the public areto be still further sur feited with this foolish transaction. At the police office this morning one of the counsel for the police intimated that they would proceed with the exami nation of witnesses for the purpose of identification; that they would examine constables who had been injured as well as witnesses to the general case among the citizens of Dublin, and conclude with the evidence of the medical man wko attended the police.
