MONEY IVIARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices tended , u°l vrtwards. The sa l e s were estimated at 6,000 ;ales, 1,000 of which were taken by the specula tors, and 500 by th e exporters. In the Railway Share Market only a limited amount of business Was transacted, and quotations were without alte ?ldiom Naylor, circul ar h as b een pu bli s h e d by M essr s. Vi c kers, il ayler, and C o. , i ron an d s t e el merchants, of Lon don, Liverpool, and New York, announcing that e wing to th e rap id an d unex p ec t e d realisation of their assets in the United States they are now enabled t o pay in full a ll c l a i ms an d d em ands. T firm, it will be recollected, was one of the first i t v experience the effect of the late panic in Nov. Wi t. Prom the statement of the balance-sheet „ s P re Pared at that time the liabilities were eesti matedat 364,2871., while the assets amounted to 5e9 ) 9 34/., sho w i n g a surplus of 225,6471. The p ri vate estates also exhibited a surplus of about 3 ` 1,4 001, to 40,0001. after every claim thereon had ri usen satisfied. Messrs. Dennistoun, Cross, and 0., auother house who suspended payment about t he same time, have announced their intention of 134 3 11 1 g on and after the 31st inst. the instalments the several accounts due the 31st December, and 011 the Australian accounts due the 31st January 4 ext. Thus anticipating three engagements by he veral 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 elime 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 lidditions. • There is now a large aggregate amount Of gold on hand, brought by the vessels recently announced from Australia, and the 200,0001. con veyed by the Parana is expected in town to-morrow. There is every probability of the chief portion of , t hase supplies being sent into the national esta vlishment. Much satisfaction is naturally felt at t he discontinuance of the drain to the Continent, for notwithstanding the excessive metallic reserves s till held, there is always much anxiety whenever til e export., by any sudden movement, exceed the i mports.

The bank rupt had also been connected with the firm of D. W. Wright, of Oporto, in which he was liable to a large amount. The balance sheet, by Messrs. Batter and Cannings, commences Jan., 1857, with a surplus of 1,1821.; and the present debts unsecured in England amount to 7,7231. 11'.; in Portugal, 3,801/. ; to ac ceptances for account of D. W.

His Honour said that the transaction had been ex ceedingly improper, and although he would 'admit the proof he should put a memorandum on the proceedings that the dividend should be securely invested for the benefit of the parties entitled to the funds. (Before Mr. Commissioner Gonlburn.) IN ItE TREDDENICIE. This bankrupt was de,orib?,d as of Gresham House, Old Broad street, share and mining agent, and to-day was appointed for his last examination, which had been adjourned from time to time with a view of superseding the bankruptcy, and negotiations to that effect are still going on with a probability that the arrangement will be satisfactorily carried out. An adjouronment was there fore taken for a month. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM SUMMER MEETING-TUESDAY. Soon after the commencement of the sport the wind blew a hurricane, shaking the wooden stand, and threatening to rend the canvas froin the booths. 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 seen it on preceding "opening days," but the falling off in t! , e assem blage of spectators was mainly attributable to the lowering clouds and bleak atmosphere. The high wind exercized a most beneficial effect on the run ning ground, drying the grass, and rendering the course generally " good going." The preparations for the Derby' Day have been completed on the usual extensive scale. The Grand Sand 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 venture in a private " sweep," whilst they heighten the expectation and deepen the in terest with which legitimate turfitea regard the event. Although no such sudden demonstration wal made as that which last year brought Tournament to the foremost place in the betting, yet the ad vance of Toxopholitqand the retrogression of Fitz- Roland were movements of no less importance. Lord Derby's horse w4s made the decided favour 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, E ist Langton, to rise to 15 to 1, taken freely. The other changes do not require comment. We have given at the end of our report 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. Subjoined is a return of the running : • The Craven Stakes of 5 soya each, with 50 added, for three-year-olds and npwards.

Before reaching the distance Northampton was beaten, and King-at-Arms soon afterwards became third. At the Grand Stand Zitella got her head in front, but Merryman disposed of her in the next few strides, and won by half a length ; same distance between the second and third : Marske was a moderate fourth, Enfield was fifth.

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 misrepresentations, as the bankrupt had represented that he held a Copyhold estate and had a building erected upon it, after he had parted with his interest, he had also ordered goods with out means of paying. Mr. Buchanan urged that there had not been any fraudulent it tention on the part of the bankrupt who was a youg man and had bad the property left to him ; as also a legacy, which was, however, far from bene ficial to bins, as it was charged with claims to nearly if not the full amount. He (Mr. B.) therefore submitted that, although there might have been some indiscretion on the part tf 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 opposing creditor.) bad been made out, and therefore suspended the certificate for six months, and then to be of the third class, without pro tection for three months. The bankrupt was taken into custody on an existing suit. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ANNOYING LADIES IN HYDE PARE.—David Levy, a capmaker, living near Hounsditch, was placed at the bar charged frith annoying Lady Massey, near Apsley- house. Nolan, a park constable, said that on the previous evening he saw the prisoner, who was quite sober, in Hyde Perk. He went in front of several ladies at the Wellington enclosure, took off hie hat, bowed to them, and kissed his hand to them. He then threw his hat on the ground, tore his hair with both hands, and then having made signs that he was going to stab himself, ran off. The ladies being all frightened at his conduct, ran away. He then went up and took him into custody and asked him why he annoyed ladies who came for a walk. He said he was acquaintel with them and would do as jhe liked. He had been very troublesome for a month past, and he had several times spoken to him about his conduct. Prisoner said be merely took off his hat, it being his usual fasl.ion when he met a friend. He came to the park for a walk. In answer to a question frcm Mr. Bingham, he said be lived near Houn4(litch. Mr. Bingham—You think it more convenient to come and take a walk in Hyde-park than to go to Victoria park, which is close by I He would advise him to stick to Hounsditch. He should order him to find a good surety for his behaviour for the next three months. THAMES. THE MOST INOORRIGIBLE - THIEF IN TEE DISTRICT. —• —Michael Hayes, a youth about 17 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with stealing a silk handkerchief from the pocket of a gentleman named Kidd. The prisoner, on being put into the felon's dock, pro tested that he bad been already tried for the offence with which he stood charged, but it turned out nn inquiry that he had been brought to this court on Thursday last, and owing to the absence of witnesses was discharged without any investigation being gone into. Mr. Grove Lusa, the chief mate of a ship, said he was living at No. 107, Upper East Smithfield, and that on Wednesday last he was among a group of persons in that street, when the prisoner was pointed out to him as a most incorrigible thief, and be was desired to mind his pockets. Shortly afterwards he saw the prisoner follow a gentleman, lift up his coat-tail and extract a silk handkerchief from his pocket. He immediately rushed upon the prisoner, secured him, and aftar a desperate struggle gave bins into custody. The handkerchief was worth fig., and the owner of it was a gentleman named John Kidd, who was now in Scotland. The prisoner —I was discharged last Thursday ; why am I dragged here again I Mr. Yardley —If your were discharged for want of evidence, why should you not be charged again ? Mr. Luss said he came to the court last Thursday. He was in waiting outside, but was not called. Mr. Yardley—Tho case must proceed. Is the prisoner known I Police sergeant Cleary, No.B H, said that the prisoner was the mot t incorrigible thief in the whole district. Mr. Yardiey—That is saying a good deal.

The show Paws ov GOLD.—The pricy of gold at Paris is about 1 per mile, and the short exchange on London is '4;5.05 per pound sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of W. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark, and the shoat Exohange on London is 13.51 per pound sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore rather more than 1-10th per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on Loudon for bills at 60 dayb' sight is 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 r4o profit on the transmission of gold either way betwein the two countries+. + Irtirli %bit tort SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.

THE ATTEMPTED INSURRECTION AT CHALON.— The Tribunal of Correctional Police of Chalorasur•Saone yesterday commenced the trial of the men who were Concerned in the outbreak near that place on the 6th of March last. The number of these men is 36, and they are all workmen, labourers, 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. The trial, it is expected, will last several days, as sixty witnesses have been called for the prosecution, and *tie 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. After the coup d'6tat he was condemned to transportation, but he fled from France and for some time wandered about Italy and Spain. Henri obtained a pardon, returned to France, and took up his residence at Chalon-sur-Saone. Being of plausitle manners and possessing 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. THR WEATHER AND THE CROPS —The weather has been wet and stormy during the last few days. Heavy rains have fallen, accompanied by boisterous winds from the [south and south-west. Though the temperature has been cold for the time of year, it has certainly im proved since last week. Still we have as yet had little or no genial' May weather. No doubt vegetation will be everywhere greatly stimulated by the large amount of wet that ha fallen, and should the present weather give way to brighter influences, immense progress will be rapidly made. A.fete sunny days will work wonde, a. Every where the crops are looking well. Ten days ago the wheats were beginning to look somewhat yellow, but the last week has effected a material change in that respect, and they are again luxuriating in the most growing and vigorous appearance. Beans and peas are also making great start, and the pastures exhibit strong symptoms that we shall have a "grass year." A "dripping May," so say the elders, is far from desirable ; indeed, the pe riod has now arrived when dry, warm weather will be anxiously looked for. Abundance of wet now will cause the grain crops to run too much to straw—nay, it is by some averred that wheat doss not require a drop of rain after this date. At present, however, no harm has been done, in fact rain was wanted. It has come very opportunely, and there is no reason to anticipate other than propitious results from the coming month.—Sussex A dcertiser. POISONOUS SNAKES, &c.—Poisonous snakes may be readily known by the shape of their head and neck ; the head being very wide at the back, and the neck compara tively small. Some persons compare the head of a poi sonous snake to the ace of spades, which comparison, although rather exaggerated, gives a good idea of the poison-bearing head. It has a cruel and a wicked look about it also, and one recoils almost instinctively. Should a person be bitten by the viper, the effects of the poison may be much diminished by the liberal use of olive oil, and the effect of the oil is said to be much in creased by heat. Strong ammonia, or hartshorn, as it is popularly called, is also useful, as is the case with the stings of bees and wasp e and for the same reason. The evil consequences of the viper's bite vary much in diffe rent persons and at different times, according to the tem perament of the individual, or his state of health. I may as well put in one word of favour for the viper before it is dismissed. It is not a malignant creature, nor does it seek after victims ; but it is as timid as any creature in existence, slipping away at the sound of a footstep, and only using its fangs if trodden on accidentally or inten • tionally assaulted."—" Common Objects of the Country," by the Rev.

In addition to the letter of the Minister of the Interior noticed on Saturday v in_addition to the Prefect's circular and the exertions of the mayors and muicip . al councillors - in' the (electfkallifiritriat, the absolute influence of Marshal Caurober, who commands in the department, was brought . ' to, bear against M. Migecn ; and, nevertheless, a teirgrara received in Paris yesterday after , noon announces his election as deputy for the Haut-Rhin. Either M. Migeon must belt remarkable man to have sue ceeJed against such fo:midable force, or the Go vernment must have lost all is popularity in Alsace, whera formerly the name of Napole , n was a tower of strength. Should the news of M. Migeon's suedes be con firmed, I look upon it as a fact of far greater gravity than the election of three Opposit on 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 perse cuti.rn, and which invested him with the character f a martyr—the animosity (of which, as is currently rep , :rted, the cause is somewhat scandalous) of one of the most influential personages of the day—the direct and positive, but not over decorous, inter- vention of the Minister at whose beck are prefecti aid mayors and the whole of the civil functionaries —the dicta' oriel language of the fir,t military officer of tbe department—wh , n al: this is called to mind, the election of this man, fresh from his prison, and with his political and personal character covered with every sort of indignity by officials, from the liivliest to the lowest, c m I a - dly le exaggerated in - impor'anc?.—Times' second edition. TRAGIO4L OCOURRENOR OFF TDB DURHAM COASre A painful feeling was occasioned :in North Shields on Monday when it was known that a' most tra gical occident had occurred off the Durham coast on the previous evening, and that three young men belonging to the town had been drowned. It seems that Mr. Alexander M'Dontld, shopman with Messrs. Ph'llipson and Hare booksellers in North Shields, and Mr. John Cookson, chemist in the same town, had proceeded during the afternoon to Marden Rock, on the Durham coast, in a large foy boat, rigged with two lugger sails, and navi gated by a man named R. Coatsworth and a lad called Wheatley. The weather had been tolerably fine at th© time the party left the Tyne, though changeable, and there was a swell breaking on the coast. Coatsworth does not appear to have been 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 higli,ThVe - iiiipped the boat 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 boa's bottom, but Cookson kept swimming about. He observed an other wave coming, and dived. When h - c came up again he found that the boat had carried away her masts, and that she was floating about, gun wale up. Hit companions were scattered about, and he called upon M`Donald to swim towards him. They met and M`Donald got hold of hishand, and exclaimed that he was dreadfuly weak. He asked Cookson if he saw any boats coming 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 an 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 piece of plink towards his master, which ho 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, which was full of water fur a minute or two, when Cookson ob served another great wave surging towards them. He dived to avoid being struck by it, and when he c Mme up again he discovered that his companions bad 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 hardstruggle 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 Ras engaged to M‘Donald.nAs 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 tothe house. A med.'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 best swimmers on the Tyne. e 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—otie for rescuing a person at Blackwell while he was an assistant with Messrs. Simpkin and Marshall, in Loudon, and the other for saving the life of a woman from drown ing at Chorley, in Lancashire. His body was re covered on Monday afternoon.
