MONEY MARKET AN 0 COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK The Grand Trunk Railway Company have an nounced the payment of the interest on the Atlantic and St. Laivrence Sterling Shares and Certificates on and after the 15th inst. An extraordinary general meeting of the share holders of the Russian Iron Works Company has just been held. The proposition of the directors to alter the articles of association to meet the require ments of the Stock Exchange was agreed to. Much difference of opinion existed with reference to the course that should be pursued respecting the carry ing on of the company. The Stock Exchange committee have passed the following resolution :—" That this committee, pend ing serious discrepancies between the prospectus and the articles of association of the Glamorgan Iron and Coal Company (Limited), and also that there were very objectionable practices in the pro motion of the company and in the allotment of shares, decline to appoint a settling day." The report of the London Bank of Mexico and South America, to be presented on the 19th inst., recommends an interim dividend for the half-year ending 30th of June of 10s. per share, equal to about 9 per cent. per annum, leaving £14,856 to be carried forward.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES.—TUESDAY. The story of Doncaster bids fair this year to be a thrice • told one. Each recurring anniversary has, indeed, for ; some time been only a repetition in the ascending scale of the success of the great northern meeting now rapidly approaching the completion of a century of existence. We have almost exhausted our phrases of commendation, and the " glories" of Doncaster have culminated to their highest. This year, indeed, bade fair to be tame and flat in comparison with previous ones, for Gladiateur seemed invincible, and the Leger only a question of health. Un fortunately, however, within the last few days " a sensa tion" we could well have spared has been introduced in the shape of an objection made by Mr. Graham, the owner of Regalia, against the French horse on the score of his age. It is to be much regretted that this gentleman pos sessed no friends whose advice might have prevented him taking this most ill-judged step. Passing over for a mo ment the gross insult offered to the Count do Lagrange, the ill-feeling it was calculated to excite among French men in general was much to be deprecated. However, we have been spared the scandal by the firmness of the stewards. These gentlemen refused to entertain Mr. Graham's objection unless he could show them some grounds for it. This, we need scatcely say, he was un able to do, so the objection falls to tho ground, and all we have to record is the universally expressed indignation at Mr. Graham's conduct. The ground is hard, as was toe b expected, but few of the Leger candidates who took their early gallops this morning seemed affected by it. Archimedes looked and went as well as anything there, though on Saturday he was friendless at Albert-gate, and no one expected his return to favour last night at Doncaster. The Duke also has come again in great force, and displaced Regalia as second favourite for the Leger. The first day's racing has the Groat Yorkshire Handicap and the Champagne as its special items of interest, and to them we shall confine our few remarks. The former race brought out a good field of 15 runners, the favourites, John Davis and Elland, finishing first and second, though the Danebury horse was six lengths before Elland, and his easy success still further brought The Duke into favour for to-morrow's event. The Champagne, after a splendid finish between Lord Lyon, the heavily-backed Derby colt, and Redan, resulted in a dead heat. The hour at which we are compelled to despatch our parcel prevents us giving further particulars. The Fitzwilliam Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 100 added, for all ages. Weight for age. Winners extra. The • second to receive 10 sovs out of the stakes. One mile. 12 subs.

Betting-9 to 4 agst Argonaut, 9to 2 agst Master Richard, 5 to 1 agst Ambition, 7 to 1 agst Miss Williams, 8 to 1 agst Broomielaw, and 9 to 1 agst Retrousse. One failure preceded the actual start, in which the fa vourite, on the in side, made play, closely attended by Ambition, Broomielaw, and Miss Williams, Nutrition, and Master Richard lying off, with Retrousse last. They ran thus for a quarter of a mile, when Miss Williams, in com pany with Ambition, cane on in advance to the distance, where Mr. Jackson's filly was beaten. The two-yr-old was then joined by Argonaut next the rails, and Master Richard on her right. From this point the three came on nearly abreast to the enclosure, where Master Richard came out and won in a canter by five lengths. Ambi tion finished a bad third ; Broomielaw and Nutrition, side by side, were the next two ; Miss Williams was sixth, close up with whom was Lord Douglas. Retrousse was last throughout.

Hobe, lying wide of her horses on the right, was the first away, and came on in advance to the bend, where she dropped back, and the running was then taken up by th e favourite next the rails, closely attended by B re t na , Mi ss Harriette, Valeria, and Sister to Cambuscan, to the Stand, where Gretna was beaten, leaving Miss Harriette in front, but the latter was headed, half a dozen strides from the chair, by Sister to Cambuscan, who won very cleverly by threo parts of a length. Miss Harriette defeated Gretna by half a length for second ; Bretna was fourth, Valeria fifth, Equivoque sixth, and Hebe last. The Revival Plate of 100 sovs, for 2-yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age, with maiden allowances. Winners extra. Red House in.

Betting-6 to 4on Queen of Trumps, 2to 1 agst Attrac tion, and 8 to 1 agst Rococo. The favourite on the in side jumped away in advance of Attraction, the pair being several lengths in advance of Edith of Lorn, Rococo lying off. They ran thus to the bend into the straight, when Queen of Trumps was beaten, leaving Attraction with the lead, which she retained to half way in the distance, when Rococo came through his horses and won in a canter by three lengths; a bad third. Queen of Trumps was pulled up in front of the Stand and did not pass the post. The Great Yorkshire Handicap of 25 sovs each, 15 ft., and sif declared, with 200 sovs added; Winners extra. The second horse to receive 50 sovs. St. Leger course. 62 subs, 35 of whom declared. Mr. Hugh Smith' s J ohn Davis' 4 yrs, Bst 2lb (Fordham) 1 Mr. Jackson' s Elland, 3 yrs, 6st 51b (Cameron) 2 Mr. J. Scott na Cltuemont 4 yrs, Bst lib (Challon er ) 3 The followin g a l so ran :—Moulsey, Ackworth, Gratitude, Empress of India, Nightwateh, Nemo, Brindisi, Swords man, La Fortune, 11.naldo, Lazoretto, and Buckfoot. Betting -7 to 2 agst John Davis, 100 to 15 agst Elland, 9 to 1 agst Hippolyta, 10 to 2 agst Claremont, 11 to 1 agst Buckfoot, 100 to 8 etch agst Moulsey and Nemo, 100 to 9 agst Gratitude, and I to 1 agst Ackworth. The start was delayed some time through the fractiousness of Empress of India, who repeatedly broke away. When the flag was lowered Swordsman jumped away with a clear lead, but before they had proceeded many strides he was headed by Ackworth, who, evidently for the purpose of serving the favourite, went on with the running at a strong pace, Swordsman lyirg second, with Nightwatch, Empress of India, Elland, Hippolyta, and Moulsey in a body at their heels. To these succeeded Claremont, Buckfoot, Brindisi, and Lazoretto, and several lengths in their rear were Ri naldo, La Fortune, and Gratitude. Passing the Intake Farm, Ackworth improved his lead, but on crossing the road the leaders got upon closer terms. With the excep tion of the French representative, Nemo, the former of these struck into the heels of something, which brought both the filly and her rider to the ground, fortunately without injury to either. Passing the rifle-butts, John Davis, with Claremont at his girths, drew up to the Baron's filly, and followed the leaders round the Red-house turn, where Swordsman gave evidence of defeat, and wh©n fairly in the straight he dropped back, leaving John Davis and Claremont in attendance upon Ackworth, close in whose rear came Hippolyta, Elland, and Moulsey. At the dis tanee Ackworth was beaten, followed in a few strides fur ther by the Baron's filly. Elland at the same time joined the leaders, and half way down appeared to have the best of it, but Fordham immediately after called upon the leader, who shot out and won in a canter by half a dozen lengths. There were three lengths between the second and third, a similar distance separated the third and fourth, Nemo was ' fifth, Ackworth sixth, and Night wa t c h next. T he last lot wet Swordsman, Empress of I ndia, Lazoretto, and Ri naldo. The Champagne Stakes of 80 sous each, h ft, for 2-yr olds ; colts, Bst 10Ib ; fillies, Bst 81b.

The Elopement of a Clergyman's Daughter with a Groom. ----®- EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER THIS DAY. George Smith, who was charged with the abduc tion of Miss Crosse, daughter of the Rev. Robert Crosse, rector of Ockham, and who will become possessed of considerable property on attaining her majority, was brought before Mr. Ingham at the Wandsworth Police-court, this day, having been remanded from Wednesday last. The prisoner was liberated on bail, two substantial tradesmen in the neighbourhood having become security for his ap pearance. From the romantic character of the case it natu rally excited much interest, and at an early hour the doors of the court were crowded by persons, amongst whom were several ladies, eager for ad mission ; but the court not being constructed with a view to " sensational cases " is of very limited dimensions, and hundreds were obliged to go away much disappointed. The young lady did not appear, and the prisoner became the great object of attraction to the crowd assembled outside the court, and was greeted with some favourable demonstrations, of which he ap peared to take no notice. Although short in stature his appearance generally is rather prepossessing, and presents nothing to indicate his menial capacity. Mr. E. D. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, attended on the part of the Rev. Mr. Crosse, and Mr. Haynes, jun., for the prisoner. Mr. Ingham inquired if any further evidence was to be adduced on the part of the complainant. Mr. Lovelace—No, sir ; there is no further prose cution of the case. Mr. Ingham—Let the prisoner be discharged. Mr. Haynes said that, as a matter of course, the money taken from the accused would be returned. The Magistrate replied in the affirmative. As the prisoner was about leaving the dock, Mr. Lewis said that he wished to make a few ob servations on behalf of his reverend client. After the discovery of the young lady's elopement, Mr. Crosse immediately instituted inquiries, with a view to ascertain where she had gone, and all the circum stances connected with her departure from his roof. However, when he (the Rev. Mr. Crosse) heard the evidence given last Wednesday, he resolved to with draw from the further prosecution of the case. The young lady had returned to her home by her own consent, and with the exception of the indiscre tion of having eloped with Smith, there was no ground for imputing any impropriety to her, she being as virtuous as when she left her father's house. The prisoner then left the court and was loudly cheered by the crowd outside, who had been in formed of the result of the proceedings. It is rumoured in the neighbourhood that the young lady having expressed her determination to adhere to her lover, her father has consented to their marriage, which it is stated is to be solemnised at Wandsworth Church to-morrow morning. The Fire and Loss of Life in London-road, ADJOURNED CORONER'S INQUEST.—THIS DAY. This forenoon Mr. W. J. Payne, deputy-coroner for Southwark and London, resumed in the board room of St. George's Workhouse, Mint-street, Southwark, the adjourned inquiry respecting the death of Jane Nathan, aged six years, the daughter of a furniture dealer and pic ture gallery proprietor of the London-road, who perished in tho dreadful fire that occurred in her parents' premises, forming two large houses in the London -road. It will be remembered that the inquest was opened this day week, but owing to the absence of several important witnesses the inquiry was adjourned until this day, in or der to complete the evidence, the coroner remarking on the former occasion that the whole of the witnesses who had been in attendance could give no evidence respecting the fire, whereas those who knew all about the case were not present. As on the former occasion, the inquiry created great interest, and Mr. Inspector Baddeley and Mr. Inspector Havard, of the Royal Society for the Pro tection of Life from Fire, attended to watch the case on behalf of that society. Mr. Inspector Young also was pre sent on behalf of the police authorities. After some little delay the jury reassembled and answered to their names. The learned Deputy Coroner addressed them, and remarked it would have been unwise on his part to have received any verdict from them at their last sitting, for, in point of fact, the evidence amounted to nothing. He was in hopes that the full complement of witnesses would be in attendance this morning, so that the "-- haye to lose would be very short. The following witnesses were men called, and, after being sworn, dep,.....1 .e under:—. Samuel Nathan said that he recollected the night of the fire, between 8 o'clock and half-past. His father was out at the time, and his mother went out after him with his aunt, two sisters, and his grandmother, leaving witness, a little brother and sister playing about, and three or four children in bed up stairs. The last persons who left the house were his mother and aunt. Whenthe fire broke Out he was at the door, which was open. He discovered, whilst he stood there, smoke coming from the back part of the premises, apparently from the picture-room. He at once ran for the fire-escape. The family had been sitting in the picture-gallery that night. Gas was burned there. The burners were about five feet from the ceiling, in the centre of the gallery. One of those burners was lighted that night. His mother sent his little sister up to get her bonnet from her room at the top of the house be fore she went out. There was only a little fire in the grate in the kitchen on that night. He did not know what time the sisters went to bed. He believed that the fire commenced in the Picture Gallery, which was also stored with furniture, but there was neither paint, oil, or turpen tine in the place, and nothing that was likely to cause a fire to break out spontaneously. Mr. Lewis, who attended on behalf of Mr. Nathan, to watch the case, cross-examined the witness, and elicited from him that the pictures in the gallery were worth £1,400 or £1,500, and they were not insured. Sarah Nathan said that she was 14 years of ago, and on the Su n d ay th at t h e f i re took place she was d own stairs. Her aunt had her bonnet on before she went out, but not her mother, and at her request she went upstairs and fetched her bonnet. The gas was alight in that room at the time, and she had to pass the picture gallery in getting to her mother's room. Her father had gone out at that time. She did not touch the gas-pipe or burner. She did not know what part of the house was burning, but there was some black fire on the staircase. By a Juror—She smelt no escepe of gas on the Sunday night. Her mother lighted the gas up stairs, and her father lit the ono in the picture gallery. Some further evid ence h av i ng been given, The jury decided u p on fi n i shing the case, and they re turned a verdict that th e d eceased was accidentally burned to death by the fir e , b u t h ow the said fire occurred there was no evidence to prove. SHOCKING DEATH. This morning, Mr. William Cartter, the Surrey coroner, held an inquest at the King's Arms Tavern, Laraheth, on the body of James Mathew, aged thirty-six years, a sawyer. William Thomson said that the deceased was working in the saw mills of Messrs. Gordon and Co., in the Commer cial-road, Lambeth. The deceased, whilst standing on a platform near the main shaft, the band having been taken off the drum, witness was going to put it on the loose pullery, but the deceased put it on the drawing pullery. Witness, upon feeling a motion of the planks, looked round and saw the deceased going round the shaft, at the top of which were iron girders, and his legs struck against them es he went round. The mill was stopped immediately by the engine-driver, and the other men went to him. When he was taken up he found that he had been struck by the band of the grindstone, which was three inches wide. On Saturday last he was in the act of putting in a veneer knife when the strap of the grindstone caught him. His clothes wore torn off his body. It appeared to him that the strap had seized hold of his head, and then twisted his body round. Thomas Spencer, a deal porter, said that he worked at the same mills, and was there last Saturday. He knew the deceased, and saw him at work that day. He heard an alarm, and ho ran into the mill, and saw the deceased going round the shaft. He ran up to the shaft and found the band twisted round his neck very tight. He was then removed, and all his clothes being taken from his body; both his legs were completely torn from his body. Both his arms were hanging by a piece of flesh, and his neck broken. The deceased was quite sober. The coroner then summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and the proceedings terminated. MISS BATEMAN AT LIVERPO 0 L.—ThiS talented lady is now fulfilling a farewell engagement at the Theatre Royal, Liverpool, with great success. Her imper sonation of Bianca in Dean Milman's tragedy of "Fazio' has charmed the immense audiences that have nightly' assembled since the commencement of the engagement. Miss Bateman has also appeared as Pauline in the " Lady of Lyons," with the same amount of success. The German newspapers state that the interview between the King of Prussia and Queen Victoria at Darmstadt lasted only half an hour. THE POTATO DISEASE.—There appears to be a great deal of disease in the potatoes grown in some dis tricts this year. One of the salesmen of Parringdon Mar ket states that he has been obliged to throw away over 30 bushels of potatoes within a week, the whole of them being too bad even for the pigs.

Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate. The trade, both for red and white qualities, ruled heavy, at, Monday's decline in the quotations. Some of the new wheats were received in fair condition. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. Most descriptions were in slow request, at the recent de cline in prices. Floating cargoes of wheat were dull, at Monday's cur rency. Spring corn, afloat, fairly supported previous rates. Barley was in short supply. The trade, however, was very quiet, on former terms. The malt trade was quiet, at about stationary prices. The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. For most qualities there was a fair demand, at full quotations. Beans were in slow request, at late rates. For peas tho trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Most descriptions of flour moved off slowly, at about Monday's currency.

BOY'S PLAY SIXTY YEARS AGO.—The school was not without its recommendations, but the teaching was carried on at one house, while we were domiciled and were fed (under contract) at another. But unfortunately our master fell in love with the daughter of the Apiarian. She was no favourite, and the rude rustics sometimes in quired of the enamcured minister, "How's Miss Saucer eyes ?" I remember a dreadful burst of indignation when one of his own congregation put to him the question ; but the "love-affair" did undoubtedly tend to the neglect of the duties of the school. The boys were hypercritical ; on one occasion, when the master did not make his ap pearance at the proper time, they blackened all the desks with ink, and when he entered and inquired what it meant, a boy had the boldness, the effrontery, t o say _ " They have gone into mourning for your absence, sir ! " Another time a still graver practical joke gave a more em ph a tic lessen to the teacher. H e was, as usual, non i w a bie c b our y t o in u g. " descended U nde r b t y h the schoolroomdark steepw go to ne n a y s e n a t us cellar,‘ flight of stairs. In the centre was a pump, used to sup ply the wants of the house, and in one corner a heap of coals for winter use. To the cellar the boys re treated. They cut off the two bottom steps, and pumped and pumped till there was a foot or two of water in the cellar. They then ensconced themselves on the coal-heap, and waited for the master's return. Re came at last : it was night ; found the school vacant, and, hearing a noise below, seized a candle and dashed down the staircase ; he of course fell face foremost into the water, which was thoroughly saturated with coal dust. The candle was extinguished ; the boys escaped in the darkness, and left their drenched, disordered, and dismayed master to recover himself and reach the upper regions as best he could. He had his revenge, as far as a good flogging of the whole school could give it, but I thought the boys almost enjoyed the castigation, and con soled themselves with having had the best of the sport—.
