No alteration has been made to-day in the Bank of England rate of discount which continues at 10 Per cent. The demand for accommodation on the part of the commercial public is being reduced very considerable on account of the high value of money, and as the brokers are generally very reserved in their dealings, the majority of borrowers apply to the. Bank for assistance. In the open market the best short dated bills is about 10 per cent. An amount of gold representing £40,000 was _yesterday taken from the Bank for exportation. The stoppage has been announced of Messrs. liynaston, Sutherland, and Co., colonial brokers, of Mincing-lane, whose liabilities are estimated at £ B O,OOO to £lOO,OOO. The books are in the hands of Messrs. Kemp, Cannan, Ford, and Co.

There is a considerable degree of depression at the Stock Exchange, and Consols are 1 per cent. lower than, they were yesterday afternoon. The cause of this heaviness is the unsettled state of banking credit, the numerous mercantile failures, and the apprehension naturally engendered by the situation o f. Continent a l po li t i cs.

THE TELEGRAPH.--A licensed victualler, near the Monument, visited the Derby, and took with him a pigeon to send home the names of the first three horses in the race. As soon as the numbers of the winning horses were hoisted he tied a slip of paper round the pigeon's neck and started it off on its journey home, where his friends were waiting its arrival. About 7 minutes after the news was known by the arrival of the pigeon a neighbouring licensed victualler received a telegram from his friends on the racecourse to inform him of the result of the race. The news thus arrived more speedily by the pigeon than the telegraph by one-third of the time. This was no doubt on account of the senders of messages on the course having to wait their turn, as the news was received at Tattersall's 3or 4 minutes after the race. The pigeon performed the journey in 14 minutes, which is, allowing for the direct path in which it travels, about a mile per minute. the qouree of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is , 06 ; to 107 per cent.

(Sittings in i3anco, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Shee.) CLARK V. BURCHETT AND OTHERS. Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., moved for a rule calling on the defendant to show cause why a conviction by justices of peace of Heston, in Middlesex, should not be reversed, on the ground of misconstruction of the law. It appeared that the plaintiff was a brick moulder, and was employed by the defendant, who is proprietor of brick fields at Heston, in common with others, to work for him at a certain price, which contract was reduced to writing, and he also made a parole promise to raise the wages of the plaintiff to the same rate of pay ment as might be made by the proprietors of adjoining briekfields, providing they were increased. This he re fused to do, and the consequence was that the plaintiff and other workmen left his employment, upon which he laid an information, and they were severally convicted and sentenced to a month's imprisonment. Thn warrant for their committal was, however, suspended, and the facts as declared by the learned counsel were admitted oadiae part of the defendants. He founded his application on the ground that the magistrates had misconstrued the law in respect to the circumstances, the oral and written contract being a part of the engagement, which being infringed the plaintiff had a bona fide right to quit his employment. Rule granted. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER SUMMER MEETING--WEDNESDAY. Stewards—Earl of Stamford, Viscount St. Vincent, Lord Bateman, Sir H. De Trafford, and W. T. Copeland, Esq.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Baron Faget and a Common Jury.) LEVY V. FREEMAN. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages for injuries sustained through the alleged negli gence of the defendant. _ _ _ From the evidence of the plaintiff it appeared that he was a boot and shoe maker, living at 11, Broad-Court, Bow-street, and that the defendant was a van proprietor In the afternoon of January last the plaintiff, who is nearly 72 years old, was returning home, when the defendant came down Bow-street from the direction of Holborn in a break, driven at a rapid pace, and at the wrong side of the road, and just as the plaintiff reached the kerb, he was struck by the vehicle and knocked down with great violence. Two of his ribs were broken, and he sustained other in juries, from _the effects of which he had not yet recovered. At the time of the accident he had three men in his em ployment, and was earning from £3 to £3 10s. a week. Ho was obliged to discharge these men, and had not been able since the accident to undertake any work. It was also stated that from the nature of the accident and the advanced age of the plaintiff, that the injuries he received would be permanent in their effect. Tho evidence of the plaintiff was corroborated by a witness who saw the accident, and the medical man who attended him during his illness. The case for the defence was that the vehicle was not driven at a rate dangerous to public safety, and that the accident was caused by the carelessness of the plaintiff. The evidence was very conflicting, and the jury found for the defendants. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A CARRIER AND HIS MAN CHARGED WITH CRUELTY TO A HORSE.— Joseph Woolridege, carman in the employ of Mr. Thomas Clarke, carrier, of Teddington, was charged before Mr. Knox with cruelly torturing a horse by working it while in an unfit state, and also with cruelly beating it. Mr. William Love, from the office of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, attended on the part of the society. Rutherford, an officer of the society, said that on the previous afternoon he saw the defendant driving a horse attached to a cart. The defendant was pulling the reins and flogging the horse severely over the neck. On stop ping at an upholsterer's shop he (the officer) noticed that the horse hung down its head, was much blown, and was covered with sweat, and on examining it he found both fore fettock joints much enlarged, also the near hind pos tern, and a raw wound on the off side with the saddle girth pressing into it. There were also several scales on the horses back. The horse was old, worn out, and quite unfit for work. He asked the defendant who was his master, and he said Mr. Clarke, of Teddington, and that his master knew the condition of the horse, as a man in his employ had refused to drive it, but that he (defendant) was compelled to take it out by his master. Sell, also an officer of the society, having given similar evidence, stated that the defendant told him that he had brought the horse 11 miles, been about town four hours with it, and then had to take it another 11 miles back. After inspecting the horse, Mr. Knox said that he un derstood that the owner of the horse was in court, and the owner stepped forward. Mr. Knox said he should order a summons to issue against him for causing the horse to be tortured. The evidence having been repeated, Mr. Knox asked the officers if the horse would ever be fit for farther work. The officers replied in the negative. Mr. Knox said the horse appeared to be very old, in a miserable condition, and to bear marks of punishment. The owner of horse wished the case postponed, that he might have his vetinerary surgeon's opinion of his condi tion. Mr. Knox said if the owner thought he would better his condition by an adjournment he would grant it, and did so. Public Drinking Fountains and Cholera. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The importance of public free supplies of water for drinking purposes has been brought pro minently before our notice by Dr. Jeaffreson's letter on " London Fevers" in January last. He tells us that in some parts of London 150 people are entirely dependent for their supply upon a single water-butt, into which the water only flows for 20 minutes daily. That these butts are frequently lined with filth and slimy vegetation, catching the droppings from foul eaves above, and imbibing poison from the soppy sewage below, and are very often too rot ten to hold water at all. Under such circumstances we can scarcely be sur prised to find that typhus is constantly raging in our midst. The warning voice which we have already heard, both from Liverpool and Bristol, reminds us that as the hot weather comes on we may have to contend with even a more deadly foe than typhus itself, and we have abundant testimony that the progress and virulence of cholera, as well as typhus, is largely dependent on the quality of the water i which is n occasionalse d fo r drinking,epidemics andof both that t h i n some o s e diseases in stancesbawryhe d s r u i n p it p i o n s g e d i m t to u h r e a v w e a b t e e r e . n D caused u k a e l s m t e o r s , t L e e n t h t i e r b e y l Aldis, and other well known and eminent medical men, have all called attention to the importance of this subject. Now, wherever a drinking fountain is opened, opportunity is at once afiorded for the surrounding inhabitants to avoid drinking water which has been poisoned in receptacles such as Dr. Jeaffreson describes, and that both the resident poor and the thirsty wayfarers of our crowded streets appreciate the boon is sufficiently shown by the fact that 8,000 people have been known to drink at a single fountain in one day, and that more than 300,000 people are estimated to drink daily iu the summer at the 140 fountains already erected in London. All those which are under the care of the association are kept fully supplied with water, and qualified workmen are employed to visit and repair them ; the condition of every fountain is thus regu larly reported at the office at least twice a week, and any damage is immediately repaired. Through out the winter the committee have been straining every nerve to increase the number and efficiency of the fountains. Eight new ones have been erected, and many private ones which had become dry and dilapidated have been repaired and taken charge of by the association. The committee have thus ex pended all the funds which have been placed at th e i r . disposal, and yet there are entire parishes, densely populated, without a single fountain. They are now compelled to delay responding to applica tions which have been received from various parts of London until they see the result of this app ea l. They, therefore, earnestly. solicit large and lib era l co ntributions, without which it will be impossible for them to sustain and extend the sanitary and b enevo lent operations of the association. Subscrip tions may be paid at the office, 1, Snorter's-court, Th ro gmorton-street, E.C., or to the society' s ban kers, Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., 1, Pall mall east, S.W., and Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, and Co., 54, Lombard - street , 'E.C.--I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN LEE, Secretary of the Metropolitan Free Drink ing Fountains Association. 1, Shorter's-court, Thregmorton street, E.C., May 22. • rADVERTISEMENT.i—Ready to Hand.—Every good and generous person feels a natural sympathy in the presence of suffering, but how much more graceful would that com passion be if it could supply the means of relief. Professor Holloway offers to every one the never-failing power of thus renderiug the most essential service to afflicted humanity.

The extra day at Paris which took place last Sunday was owing to the Versailles races being transferred to Paris; and althonh the weather-was very fine, the atten dance was by no means so large as on previous occasions. After the fourth race his Majesty the Emperor drove up to the Imperial Stand, and was in time to witness a very interesting race fo: the Prix de Satory, for which it was expected Florentin, the winner of the French Derby, would have started, but owing to his extra weight he was with drawn and his stable represented by Florida. The race was won very cleverly by M. Lupin's Maravedis, ridden by Kitchener, which vas his first winning mount since his late illness. The Prix du Cadre produced a very exciting finish between Czar, Baionette, and Ls Sioulet, ending in a dead heat between Czar and Baionnette, the latter having run very unkindly during the race, and at the conclusion 6 to 4 was laid on Czar, and as Baionnette jumped the ropes at the windmill turn, Czar cantered on and came in alone. Since the last meeting in the Bois de Boulogne a very convenient sort of open shod has been erected behind the stands, which affords shelter from the sun and rain, and was occupied by the betting fraternity. Baron de la Rocette officiated as starter, and Count Greuffulhe occu pied the judge's box and superintended the weighing de partment. The other races do not call for any particular remarks, full details of which will be found below : PRIX DES CHAMPS ELYSEES of 120 sovs, for three-yr-old horses and upwards ; entrance 2 sovs each ; the second horse to save his stake ; three-yr-olds, Bst 51b ; four, 9st 111 b ; five and upwards, lOst llb ; the winner to be sold for 160 sovs, and selling allowances for less.

The Grand Military Steeple-chase, which was the race of interest of the last La Marche meeting, took place on the 21st inst. ; and it is remarkable that the same horse won it on this occasion as last year, viz., Magenta, also ridden by the same rider. Several of the ring seemed to think that L'Africain was pulled in the Military Steeple-chase, and on the return of the horse to the enclosure they abused him and the owner in most unparliamentary language, and a regular row ensued, in which the two Mr. Riddells were roughly handled,and but for the interference of some of the gentlemen the results might have been serious. Mr. Rid dell offered to run L'Africain against Magenta, the same course and weights, Mr. Riddell to ride Magenta, and any one they liked to ride L'Africain, but M. Lavingee de clined to lend Magenta. The affair, it is to be hoped, will be brought before the proper authorities, as such scenes as this are a disgrace to racing. The Prix du Parc Selling Race was won in a canter by Prognostic. In the Consolation Handicap, Church Militant, the property of the D eke of Hamilton, made her first appearance in this coun try, but the race was won easily by Baron Finot's Mario, which is a very clever steeple-chaser, as well as a good hurdle-race horse. Details of the running will be found below.

In the absence of Sir Edward T. Kerrison, who was to have taken the chair, but was prevented from doing so by illness, the office of president was kindly undertaken by Earl Cowper. Among the company present were Alderman Mechi, Mr. J. Howard, Mr. H. Corbet, Mr. J. Baldwin, Mr. J. Clayden, &c. After dinner, the customary loyal and patriotic toasts having been given, The CHAIRMAN proposed " Prosperity to the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution." Hav ing expressed his regret for the absence of Sir Ed ward Kerrison, the noble chairman stated that the purpose for which they had assembled was not merely that they should make merry together, but that they should endeavour to spread abroad the objects of the institution with the view of increasing their annual revenue. Farmers w ere often spoken of as a grumbling race, but he had always found them exceedingly good-humoured, industrious, and per severing men, always generous as opponents, and ever warm and faithful friends. (Hear.) Anything that would tend tothe benefit of such a class was, in his opinion, well worthy of public notice, and he only wondered, when he considered the objects with which the institution was founded, and the fact that most other bodies had long been possessed of insti tutions of a similar character, that the agriculturists had not established their benevolent association many years ago. (Hear.) A farmer's life, though very pleasant, was not a very lucrative one—(hear) —and it was a distressing thing to see men who who had occupied a good position, who had farmed a great many acres of land, and employed a large amount of labour, reduced to a state of comparative this poverty. He thought, therefore, that that society, which would a ff or d relief to men belong in g to class without wounding their feelings in any w a y , well deserved the support of the public.n, Mr. C. Shaw, d read a list of subscription s an The secretary of the association, ing to £3,563.

The remaining toasts were " The Stewards" and " The Ladies." EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT. —At Southsea yester day a little girl named Bowyer, aged ni ne, was runn i ng a l o ng the pavement with a glass bottle containing stout, when she stumbled and fell. The bottle broke off at the neck, and the edge, which was jagged, was driven with considerable violence into her neck, and inflicted a fright ful wound. The child was taken home, and Dr. Vardy, surgeon, was sent for, but life was extinct, the glass hav ing pierced the main artery of the neck and caused almost iwitauttumw cloth. TEE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP, This contest came to an issue this morning at a quiet spot called Tarringham, and resulted most unsatisfactorily. The men, Goss and Mack, went into the ring, and after sparring and lookin g each other in the face for an hour and a half, eve n _ tually shook hands, and thus the great, ght ended in smoke.
