The public foreign and colonial produee markets re-opened to-day after the Christmas holidays. In the private contract markets, during the last few days there has been a moderate business transacted in most of the principal staples. Tea continues at former rates. For sugar, there has been some inquiry for the refining descriptions, and holders demand full values. In the re fined market, however, the dealings were limited to immediate requirements at former quotations. Coffee met a steady sale, particularly good qualities of native Ceylon. In rice few dealings have been reported, and quotations are unaltered. Spices have been dull, and little busi ness has been done in saltpetre. There continues to be a fair demand for indigo, and prices have an Upward tendency. The next public sales of this article are fixed for the Bth of February. Tallow has been dull ; the current prices for P.Y.C. on the spot are 51s. to 51s, 3d., and 51s. 3d. to Ms. 6d. for March delivery. The Liverpool Cotton arket, yesterday, presented a very steady appearance, and 8,000 bales were disposed of at about previous quotations. In Railway Shares a good business was transacted at full rates. The numerous trade circulars published within the last few days, in recording the progress of busi ness during the last year, refer with confidence to the prospects of the ensuing twelve months. In almost every branch of business a hope is enter tained of a general improvement, in consequence of the healthier condition which distant foreign and colonial markets have lately assumed. A few weeks, however, will probably elapse before operations will be actively resumed after the holidays, but the accounts from the manu facturing districts are very encouraging, and in other directions the advices are not less assuring. A few failures are occasionally reported, but there is every reason to believe that the com mercial community, although they have had to contend against unusual dulness for a protracted Period, are generally in a favourable position ; and it is expected that the engagements due to-day, the 4th of the month, will not lead to any impor tant embarrassments. A small amount of gold, viz., £35,000, was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The general meeting of shareholders of the London Dock Company took place to-day. The report showed a slight falling off' in the ton nage inwards, but a very important dimi nution in the revenue derivable from wines, spirits, and tobacco, the latter mainly caused by the Victoria Company's competition. . The loss in these articles was upwards of £20,000. The accounts of the half-year showed a total balance in favour of the company of £217,223 18s. 7d., from which a dividend of £2 per cent. was recommended. As a lower dividend was now pro posed, it naturally led to some dissatisfaction, but the report was adopted. The funds have been very inactive to-day, and the decline which took place yesterday afternoon has not been recovered. The dealers are anxiously awaiting the receipt of the quotations of Rentes from the Paris Bourse, for the fall of .1 per cent. in those securities yesterday partly occasioned the depreciation here. Consols are about 968 1 for the 11th instant, and 961 a for the January account. The Government broker has purchased £25,000 Reduced Annuities for the Savings Bank Commis sioners. Bank Stock is firm at 226. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced are marked 963 97. The March Exchequer Bills are 375., and June ditto 375. to 40s. premium. India Loan De bentures are 991 y ; and Long Annuities 1 3-16ths. In Foreign Securities a rather large business has been transacted, and prices are generally well supported. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 911 to 92 ; and the Scrip, 21 to 1i dis. ; the 4 per Cents. are marked 106; Brazilian 5 per Cents. are firm at 1021 to 103 ; the 41 per Cents. at 95 Russian 5 per Cents. at 1131; Sardinian, at 90 to 901 ; and Peruvian (Uribarren), at 861; ditto 3 per Cents. are steady, at 73 ; Grenada Deferred at 51 ; and Mexican at 208 ; Spanish Bonds are fiat, viz., 461 ; ditto Passive, 101 ; and ditto Certificates, 62; Dutch 21 per Cents. have been dealt in at 658 s ex div. ; and the 4 per Cents. at 100 ; Chilian Loan is -} dis. to 3 prem. About an average amount of business has been transacted in the Railway Share Market, but prices in most instances have shown a decline of about to 3per cent. Caledonians, Brightons, and South -Westerns have receded ss. ; Chester and Holyhead, Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North- Western, and North-Eastern (York), 10s.; Midland, 155 . ; and North British, and South-Eastern, £l. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been mode rately dealt in, and prices have shown little alteration. Joint Stock Bank Shares are very quiet. Bank of London have improved about 55., and Loudon and Westminster, ss. In the Miscellaneous Share Market, London General Omnibus Company have improved to 18 2, and Penin su l ar and Oriental St eam h ave d ec li ne d to 82. , . , BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

Jennings, a wealthy gentleman armer, residing at Burythorpe, the 21st Mr. Jenning s had been lost since the night of a illage near Anchor2lst Inn o:thertear coember,at which time he left the Crown and . Norton, the bridge at Malton, to proceed to his horse had been' left. Opposite side of the river, where . . were ile never arrived at Norton, and inquiries .:e instituted as to his whereabouts. It was ascef taamed that he had been seen by a Norton gentleman, in the even adjoining the bridge, about half-past eight in t' eveni ng , and as he could not be traced after that nue ! it was at once Spetted that he had mistaken his way, an d instead o f crossing the bridge to Norton, had walked doh the yard into the river Derwent. On the 24th of Dece bin er (ten horsemen having previously scoured the country for miles round) a number of boats and drags were rcurd, riveruring that and the four following days the ed of ther was most rigorously searched for about six /biles, it being upposed that the current, which was rather strong then had carried him away. On Monday last the miss hgentlethan was trac e d by th e p o lice to have bee n a t a beer 'louse in the town at 10 o'clock on the evening he disappeared, but there allknowledge of him ends. It is supposed that he had !lpon him a large sum of money, and also several papers bbelonging to the parish of Burythorpe, and suspicion began e awak ene d o f foul play, which daily gains ground. A offering a reward for him, or the discovery of his body, Irtts'at once issued. A body of 50 men was also set to ex plore the county for miles round Malton, and every . ditch, lane, wood, stream, pond, well, and sluice about Malton hag also been thoroughly searched, but to no purpose. The police are daily engaged in prosecuting their inquiries. A tarty of men traverse the river daily, as far as Kirkham lim-Ex, to see if the b o dy r i ses t o th e sur f ace. —M anc h es t er anaer, THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1859.

It is most skilfully arranged, and exhibits that masterly power of delineation which can only be found in the productions of genius. After the many doubts that have arisen in the mind of the reader as to who Sophy will be, it is not likely that any one will have arrived at the actual solution of the problem. The most satisfactory intelligence con veyed to us, however, is the fact of Darrell's again appearing in the world, after his long seclusion. When we have learned that Soply is no longer "the outlaw-child of Ignominy and Fraud, but the starry daughter of Poetry and Art," and that Darrell has consented to devote his talents to his own and his country's glory, nothing more can be desired by the most sanguine, or demanded by the most exacting. There is a paper entitled, "How to boil Peas," which is well deserving of attention. It relates the old legend of two pilgrims who, to perform a penance, had to walk a certain distance with peas in their shoes, and one easily performed his task in consequence of having taken the pre caution to boil the peas before he started. The illustration is ingeniously applied to the evils of human existence : "Troubles we shall all have, plenty of them, Heaven help us ! But it has been admirably said, that the worst are those which never come;' certainly they are those which we run to meet half-way, and look at through magnifying glasses when they do arrive. If life must be a pilgrimage, let us put a stout heart to it, and not make it a more painful one than it need be. Let us set the palmer's hat on jauntily, and take a little wine with us in that mediaeval-looking bottle. The peas must be in the shoes; that makes part of our sentence ; little things in themselves, but with a won derful capacity for making themselves unpleasant; but there can be no religious or moral obligation against boiling them, and the difference it makes is wonderful. The secrete per esser felite is not a difficult one, yet few things seem so little understood by the pilgrims of this highly civilised nineteenth century. Some men, instead of boiling their peas, seem to take a pride and pleasure in choosing for them selves the largest and the hardest—Brobdignag marrowfats —and disposing them conscientiously under the tenderest places. It would be nothing to them to walk through life without a grievance. Grievances are part of their inherited privileges as Englishmen. They must have come in with Magna Cherie and Habeas Corpus." There is an able article on the subject of "Popular Literature—the Periodical Press," which contains many valuable suggestions, and makes some striking comments on the wonderful extension of serial literature which has recently taken place. Oie of the remarks that most attracts attention is that on the oratory of the present day. It is truly stated that we need not be " much afraid of com paring our living eloquence with the eloquence that h 6 passed away," and that if Parliamen- tart' speeches do not now excite such attention, it is because much that is uttered in debate is fore stalled by the discussions of the press. It is also observed that, because the style of speaking is altered, it does not follow that it is worse. In illustration of these remarks, a short extract is taken from Sheridan's famous Begum speech, which Burke asserted to be unparalelled in oratory. This it one of the sentences :—" Justice is not this halt and miserable object, it is not the ineffective bauble of an Indian pagoda, it is not the portentous phantom of despair, it is not like any fabled mon ster formed in the eclipse of reason and found in some unhallowed grove of superstitious darkness, and political dismay." It is said that this astonish ing description may present the reader with an idea of the much-vaunted eloquence of the past, and it is certain that if Lord Derby or Mr. Disraeli made any similar observations, the manner in which they would be received would be the reverse of flattering. " The Field of Towton Moor" is the title of some verses that are interesting. They are suggested by the circumstance of roses flourishing perpetually on the soil that was once the battle field during the wars of York and Lancaster. " The Royal Proclamation of India" is the last subject mentioned ; there is nothing particularly striking, however, to be met with in it. It is truly said, in conclusion, that " there can be no happy future for India if Victoria's noble message of peace to India does not find an echo in every English heart." The second part of "A Cruise in Japanese Waters" is very interesting. It gives at first a detailed account of Japanese modes and. manners of life, which are very singular. Afterwards we are presented with a condensed narrative of Japan's intercourse with other nations. At the present time it is very desirable to gain information on this subject, and what is here written will be found to repay perusal. Dublin.—The first article is on " Dr. Arnold ;" as may be supposed, it is an interesting one. It is truly said that we can now :arrive at an impar tial conclusion concerning his merits, for " sixteen years have elapsed since the grave closed over him at Rugby, amidst the heartfelt grief of several generations of pupils who had had the inestimable benefit of his teaching." It is satisfactory to trace the career of such a man who was so signally use ful in his generation, and it will be found that a very fair summary of his life is here given. "Gerald Fitzgerald" is continued. Not much progress is made in this portion, however; the unfortunate youth is not yet recovered from the effects of the great suf ferings he underwent in Paris during the Reign of Terror. In the last chapter he is presented to a cardinal of great eminence, who announces to him an important mystery relating to his birth. " The Great Duke at the Sculptor's" is an interesting paper, which records some visits paid by the late Duke of Wellington to a sculptor's. The remarks are characteristic of the duke, as is the independ ence of his actions, refusing to be assisted in any way. It is mentioned, as a strange coincidence, that the Jeri t. visit paid to the studio was on the 18th of November-- - --pnly twelve months prior to that day when that venerable frame, cold in death, passed by to its last resting place in St. Paul's Cathedral. " Wilhelm Tell" is the subject of an article which is evidently the result of research. After entering into the question in detail, and in vestigating the opinion of many writers, the un satisfactory conclusion is arrived at that though such a man as Tell undoubtedly existed, he was not of any historical importance, and did not deliver his country. It is not probable, however, that a nation should so long have cherished the memory of the man had he not held the high position assigned to him as the champion of freedom, and the influence that his name hes obtained is here powerfully expressed : "And, let us add that, whatever may be the uncertainty on the subject of the deeds and character of Wilhelm Tell, the ideal and the sentiments that invested him with so much heroism, are the vital, lofty, immortal spirit that animates a whole people, and has brought them glorious and trium phant through all the vicissitudes of time. Such a spirit has never ceased to breathe in the mountains and valleys of Switzerland; it has inspired other Swiss heroes, as in the Appenzel, for instance, in the fifteenth century ; it kindled the genius of Schiller, whose masterpiece, Wilhelm Tell, was the song of the Germanic Swan, expressing the purest aspirations and the sentiments which ennobled his soul. It inspired Rossini with the Alpine sublimities, expressed marvellously in his magnificent opera. And it is impos sible to contemplate, without emotion, the nobler vibrations of the human soul, created by that Divine Spirit, whenever Schiller's ' Wilhelm Tell' is performed in that blessed land, or whenever an assembly of Swiss patriots or legisla tors is inaugurated by Rossini's over;mre to his Tell, and its members proclaiming enthusiastically that their sent:- meats and history are embodied in that splendid harmony ; thus the human soul lives in the axis. But as the love of liberty is nothing more than a transient effervescence, when devoid of the religious sentiments, the confederation of the Swiss hearts is immortal, because the people of Switzer land, from their industrious cities—from their wooded and snowy mountains—from their grassy valleysfrom the shades of the plain, ever contemplate, on the old soil of Helvetia, the deep vault of Heaven, above the social sphere, and Him, the universal Benefactor, Creator of all." " Periwigs and Petticoats" is the title of some amus ing stanzas, which relate to the projected marriage of Sir Topaz and some lady of fashion of the old school. " The Lilliput of the Corniche " is a curi ous paper telling the historical associations con nected with Monaco, a seaport in the Mediterranean, which has been the scene of many singular and ro mantic events. " Our Foreign Courier " presents the usual information regarding French current literature. This is a very useful undertaking, and enables the reader to obtain what is here styled " a succinct resume of all the important publica tions which come under the head of foreign; and more especially of French, literature." " A Day at Bahia," which is in the Empire of the Brazils, may amuse some from the lively sketch presented of the place and its people. There are some remarks on the subject of " M. de Montalembert on the Indian Debate," which will repay perusal.. It is said that the applause which the speech of Berryer was received has been caught up and re-echoed in every civilised country, in spite of Jesuit spies and policemen of absolutism," and that with few excep tions the leaders of the English press have spoken out with a masculine vigor and a fearltss eloquence which will hereafter be•recorded to their immortal honour. There is an independent tone in this article which attracts the attention, and some of the views taken on the policy of France appear very accurate. In speaking of the Emperor it is said, " In our opi- nion Louis Napoleon's mind is wanting in breadth and grandeur ; but this very deficiency gives him a certain practical advantage. A narrow mind sees clearly, as far as it goes ; it does not wait to look round and round, to comprehend, to modify, to adjust, but it is therefore ready to act and to act confidently." There is an elaborate treatise on Carlyle's work on Frederick the Great, which will interest many ; it is an able criticism, but it must appear to impartial observers that there is too much admiration expressed for the author, whose pecu liarities of style mar the effects of his great talents. To those who have not been able to peruse the work in question, this paper will present a useful epitome, and from its intrinsic merits it affords an agreeable study for all. Fraser's.—Fraser commences the new year with spirit. The clever author of "The Interpreter" gives us the first instalment of a new historical tale of the period of the great civil war. The scene is laid in Old Northamptonshire, and already the forms of Cavalier and Roundhead, of Lord Falk land. and Queen Henrietta, of old Royalist squire and fair maiden, cast their shadows over the stage. It is a somewhat bolder flight than Mr. Melville has yet tried ; but we doubt not that his powers will prove equal to the occasion. '• Concerning the Art of Putting Things" is the singular title of an article containing much sense and shrewd observation. It is otherwise called, with more clearness, " Thoughts on Representation and Misrepresentation," having no reference, as the author eagerly assures us, with any of the rival schemes for a Reform Bill. It refers to the wonderful difference which is made in the recital of an occurrence, or even the expression of an opinion, by the way in which it is put. Most people have had occasion to observe what a different aspect affairs haVe when spoken of by different people. Thus in telling the history of a dispute each person unconsciously gives a favourable turn to his own side of the question, from putting it in his own point of view. The author observes, with truth, that he is a great man who can put some of the old hacknied truths which every one acknow• ledges and no one feels, in such a new and striking light that he pierces the indifference with which these familiar facts are regarded, and makes the reader or the hearer feel them. Hhere is an amus ing passage illustrating how much depends on the way things are put- 7 - "One can enter into Johnson's feeling when, on hearino• ° that Boswell intended to write his biography, h e exc l a i me d . in mingled terror and fury—' If I thought that he contem plated writing my life, I should render that impossible by taking his 1' It was something to shudder at, the idea of going down to posterity as represented by a Boswell I But the great lexicographer was mistaken : the Dutch-painter like biography showed him exactly as he was, the great, little, mighty, weak, manly, babyish mind and heart. And not great men alone, historical personages, have this reason for disquiet and apprehension. . . . . And don't we all know some people—not bad people in the main—who never by any chance put the thing except in the unfavourable way ? I have heard the self-same house called a snug little place and a miserable little hole ; the same man called a lively talker and an absurd rattlebrain ; the same person called a gentlemanlike man and a missy piece of affectation ; the same income called compdtence and starvation ; the same horse called a noble animal and an old white cow. The entire difference, of course, lay in the fashion in which the narrator chose, from inherent bonhomie or inherent verjuice, to put the thing. While . Mr. Bright probably regards it as the most ennobling . occupation of humanity to buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market, Byron said, as' implying the lowest degree of de gradation— ' Trust not for freedom to the Franks— They have a king who buys and sells ! And it is just the two opposite ways of putting the same admitted fact, to say that Britain is the first mercantile com munity of the world, and to say that we are a nation of shopkeepers. One way of putting the fact is the dignified, the other is the degrading. If a boy plays truant or falls asleep in church, it just depends on how you put it, or how the story is told, whether you are to see in all this the natu ral thoughtlessness of boyhood, or a first step towards the gallows. ' Billy Brown stole some of my apples,' says a kind-hearted mau : ' well, poor fellow, I daresay he seldom gets ray.' Billy Brown stole my apples, ' says the severe man : ah, the vagabond, he is born to be hanged.' Sydney Smith put Catholic Emancipation as common justice and common sense : Dr. M'Neile puts it as a great national sin, and the origin of the potato disease." Speaking subsequently of the art of putting things in a comic light, the author censures, with just severity, the love which now e x i s t s for treating grave matters in a ridiculous manner. He says that it is impossible to object to a facetious serial like Punch ;. "but to burlesque Macbeth or Othello, to travesty Virgil, to parody the solilo quy in Hamlet, though it may be putting things in a novel and amusing way, approaches to the nature of sacrilege." ,He admits that sometimes the ludicrous way of putting things has served an admirable purpose, as in Sydney Smith's description of a pos sible French invasion, or of Mrs. Partington sweep ing back the Atlantic ocean. These examples, however, refer to the legitimate use of ridicule, and are quite different from the dreary comic histories, grammars, and books setting out with the inten tion to be funny, which are now so common. It requires a reader of very serious purpose to get through their humorous pages. The article con cludes by declaring, in opposition to the question recently propounded by an eminent novelist, that how will he put it ? is the greatest problem of life. " Schloss-Eishausen" is the name of a paper, rightly entitled a mystery. It tells how some fifty years ago a mysterious couple took up their abode at a large country house in Eishausen, a straggling. village near Coburg. The Count, as the master of the houne was' called, was rarely seen, the countess, never. She was kept under lock and key, and only walked in the grounds of tke place thickly veiled, attended by a female servant, who never ex changed a word with her during twenty years They had only two servants, who were forbidden. to speak to those in the village, being wat c h e d by a telescope from the window when they went on errands. This state of things went on for twenty years. It is fortunate that a second part is to come, which we must hope will unravel the mystery. The first of two papers on Mr. Gladstone's mission, by the Rev. Barham Zincke, shows an intimate acquaintance with the subject, and makes au in teresting investigation into the principles and con clu..lons of the work. " Dramatic Treasure Trove" gives us some amusing extracts from plays of the last generation, which go far to prove that the decline of the British stage is of more than recent date. &paper on " Mushrooms" el eva t es those _ _ questionable vegetables to an elevated place in the culinaryaper whichscale. " Furniture Book s " i s th e titl e o f a p makes an ex t ravagan t a tt ac k upon modern illustrated volumes. " Hints for Vaga bonds" takes a poop at some of the chief places in the Law Countries. A description of the reading of the Proclamation at Peshawur is among the con cluding papers. Bentley.—Bentley's Miscellany has a brief re sume of the chief literary and political events of the year, which is on the whole decidedly favourable to the existing state of affairs. The editor contributes an English version of an old Breton Lay of the Fourteenth Century, telling how thirty valiant English knights held combat with thirty bold Bretons in one of the feuds of the time. " The Poston]. Door," by the author of " Moat Grange," is the continuation, and, we presume, the conclusion of the story of the Canterbury family The reader will remember that,. in the last part, Tom Canterbury, the little heir to the • large estate, died suddenly under very mysterious cir cumstances. In this p ar t hi s mo th er , M rs . Dawkes,", tells the story of his death to her cousin, Thomas Kage, and reveals the secret of the murderer. She is slowly dying of grief for the loss of her child, and is weighed down by the knowledge of the real culprit. The description of her will is ingeniously arranged, and the reader rejoices over the defeat of the Major's villanous plans. The story is told with the writer's usual animation of style. The second part of a paper on adventures in India, entitled, "Up among the Pandies" is given. " The Plea. sures of the Table" is the title of an amusing paper founded on a French writer's details and definitions, which certainly reverse the national axiom, "Il faut manger pour vivre." The elaborate code of gastronomic laws which evidently appear to this writer the most important question of life, are sufficiently formidable to induce Englishmen, with much business and little leisure, to abandon any attempt at culinary competition with their neigh bours as perfectly hopeless. Dudley Costello's story of " Faint heart never won Fair Lady," pro ceeds vigorously. In this number, Monsieur Per rotin and his friend the detective succeed in tracing the unfortunate Rachel to the madhouse, where she. had been incarcerated. The " Wits of Paris " furnish an entertaining paper, though their bon mots do not exhibit much of the Attic essence. An account of a journey from Sydney to England via Panama will repay perusal. Monks hood's " Retrospective Reviewals ' chronicle the sayings and doings of D'Urfe, whose tedious pas torals were the admiration of their own epoch, though we apprehend that few novel readers of the present day would care to wade through the five volumes of " Astrea." Colburn's N6w Monthly—A lengthened article on the Empire of Japan opens this number of the New Monthly. At the present epoch the subject is interesting to many readers, though the details of Japanese manners and customs are already losinr A their novelty. " Assize Sunday," by the anthr t; o f " Ashley," is a continuation of the somewliat c om plicated story which has been proceedir.-6 for the last two or three months. Leaving Uri mysterious robbery of the vestry unexplained, Dlld its results undetermined, the author returns 4 .43 the quarrels of the college boys—quarrels, hor;over, which appear to threatn serious collaevences. Sir Nathaniel takes Thomas Pelham, Duke of Newcastle, some time Premier of England, for the subject of the 15th number of his " Notes on Note-Worthies." In his opinion of this illustrious individual, he endorses the judgment passed upon him by Lord Macaulay, and joins in the satirical censures of Horace - W4lpole and Smollett. "Tales of an Old Sportsman" are not, as might be supposed, recitals of sporting adventures, but sketches and anecdotes mostly drawn from foreign lands, some of them of a most gloomy character. They chiefly refer to the Arquebusiers of France, being drawn from a recent French volume. Al exan d er Andrews conti- noes his amusing narrative of the grievances of his friend " Pickles," in which a great deal of truth is hidden under a jest. The practice of county courts figures conspcuously among the troublez of Mr. Pickles, Chatwubriand and his Commentator, SHARE MARKET.-(THIS ;DAY.) Share Railways. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

Marcellus, form the subject of an entertaining paper, which is followed by one of Mr. Rowsell's sketches on social questions, on the important topic of " Getting Married." It is a brief sketch, scarcely equal to his former essays. " The Spectre's Visit ' is a boon for the lovers of ghost stories, being some what original in plot, and vividly told. The ghost is a particularly horrible character, but that will be an additional attraction to the genuine connoisseurs of such tales, and they will have the unusual satisfaction of a practical conclusion to the dismal adventure. " The Painter's Daughter" is the title of a touching and graceful story, founded on fact, of one of those melancholy instances of a " destiny missed," which are not rarely met with. Veit Gerhards, a poor illuminator, bf Antwerp, is consumed all his life by the vain desire to be a painter. Early in life he had been compelled to abandon his cherished project, and to devote him self to the trade of an armourer. In middle life, being free to follow his own devices, he abandoned his uncongenial occupation, and adopted that of an illuminator, as being at least more - nearly con nected with his beloved art. Early in life he had seen Albrecht Durer, and his desire to behold him again was only equalled by his love of the divine art followed with such success by the great German master. His desire was only gratified at the close of his weary and disappointed life ; but his daughter Susanne, who inherited her father's taste, was more fortunate, being chronicled in Albrecht Durer's diary as the fortunate illuminatist of a picture on parchment, which had excited his admiration, and his expression of an uncomplimentary astonishment " that a woman could do so much !" A spirited Frost Song, " to the tune of a pair of skates," wil make many followers of that stirring sport regre the mildness of the season. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

S(ULLERS' RACE FOR £lO. A e aPita l :ty-contested scullers' race for the above amount a -0 ::10) was rowed yesterday afternoon between Chas. L7P_grove and Henry M'Laren, two members of the West rr Luster Rowing Club. These men are rowers of the class denominated "tradesmen," and are exceedingly expert scullers. The distance was from Putney to Battersea Park-pier. Lovegrove was the favourite, the odds of 5 and 6 to 4 being laid, but his opponent won the toss for choice of station. The umpires and a referee having been ap pointed, the men got to their stations. A capital start was effected, and they were scull and scull for about 200 or 300 yards, when M'Laren began to leave his opponent, and opposite the Feathers had drawn his sitting thwart level with the nose of his opponent's boat, and opposite Wands worth-pier was nearly a length and a half ahead. In this position they continued rowing to the White Hart, where M'Laren increased the advantage to about three lengths, and maintained it to Kensington-creek. Lovegrove then gradually stole upon his opponent, and at Battersea-bridge was nearly level again. A tine ding dung race then fol lowed to the Cadogan-pier, Chelsea, where Lovegrove gra dually left his opponent in the rear, and after a severe struggle went in the winner by about three - quarters of a length at the finish.

During the day several witnesses were examined, amongst whom were the agents of the Phoenix and Scottish Union Fire Offices, who stated the insurances effected by Mr. Sutcliffe on his stock in trade, one of which was effected only a month previous to the fire. On behalf of Mr. Sutcliffe, evidence was produced to show that he was not near the building, but that h e was in public company at the time when one of the witnesses deposed to seeing a man leave the warehou se, on pr night of the fire. The evidence on this point was conflict- ing. The jury retired for about half an hour for the con sideration of their verdict, and on their return into c_ourt_t i ho foreman announced that they were unanimously of owl on that the fire had been an incendiaryone, but that the qrs.- dance had failed to show who the incendiary was. 21 11 9 1 1 10 11 64} 4 291 13 1 Share 100 18 18 204 20i 100 100 190 17i 20 S Lock Sto.
