VIONEY - MARKET AN f, COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England directors have just held their usual weekly court, and have not found it ne cessary to make any change in the existing terms for discount. No alteration was expected, - because i t Was known that the inquiry for accommodation during the next few days would be very active in consequence of a large number of commercial en gagements falling due. To-day several bills in con nection with the trade of India and China will arrive at maturity, and the lowest rate out of doors now 34 per cent. Rumours of fresh mercantile wtheulties are causing anxiety, and great incon venience must, no d ou bt, resu lt t o . man y p ar ties frmn these imprudent whisperings. The sum of £25,000, in sovereigns, from Egypt, was taken into the Bank of England yesterday afternoon. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : Great Western ... North Western ... South Western ...

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE It COLEMAN.-BLONDTN'S SECRETARY IN COURT. This bankrupt was described as a wine merchant, of 28, Regent-street, Waterloo-place, and elsewhere, and to-day he came up to pass his last examination and for the order of discharge. The bankrupt has obtained considerable notoriety, from the fact of his being connected somewhat closely with M. Gravelet Blondin, as secretary and mana ger. Blondin figures as a creditor for some £12,000, and it has been stated that the failure of the bankrupt is the cause of the re-appearance of the talented artist in ,ques tion in public. The accounts, by Messrs. Hart Brothers, and Hayles, show :—Dr.: To creditors unsecured, £32,540 ; do. secured, £6,383 ; liabilities on bills, £1,957 ; creditors to be paid in full, £B5. Total, £40,064. Cr.: By good debts, £723 ; doubtful, £725 ; bad, £2,689 ; pro perty given up, £1,414; do., in hands of creditors, £14,566 ; deficiency, £19,947 Total, £40,064. Defi ciency Account.—Dr. to deficiency, £19,947 ; profits, £2,342 ; amount allowed by Mr. Mercello for travelling, advertising, and commission, £6OO ; total, £22,889. Cre ditor—By deficiency on Octdoer 1, 1863, £3,383; mapenses, £7,968 ; losses, £8,245 ; liabilities, £1,057 ; house and general expenses, £22,889. Mr. Bagley said—l appear for a very large creditor who is the assignee. He is a cash creditor for the sum of £lO,OOO, which — His Honour—£lo,ooo ; a cash creditor! Mr. Bagley—Yes. He earned that sum by constantly perilling his life, and the bankrupt acted as his treasurer and manager, but he will not press against the other credi tors. The estate has had the advantage of the services of Mr. Hart. His Honour—Which Mr. Hart ? Mr. Bagley—Mr. , Joseph Hart, who has taken great trouble in this matter. Mr. Sargood said he appeared for creditors who were not satisfied with the accounts. Mr. Brough also represented creditors, and objected to the bankrupt's passing. He wished the report which had been made by Mr. Hart to be read. His Honour inquired when the report was filed? Mr. Brough replied that it was filed when tho accounts were filed. His Honour—ls that usual ? Mr. Hart said it was ordered by act of Parliament, and was quite usual. Mr. Brough then sought to bring in a proof of debt, and this led to some sparring between the learned counsel and the Commissioner, Mr. Bagley objecting to the proof for the assignee, and Mr. Reed also objecting on behalf of the bankrupt, His Honour said it would be necessary to read Mr. Hart's report. Considerable discussion followed the reading of the re port, and Mr. Reed opposed any further adjournment. - . His Honour said that Mr. Brough was entitled to the ad journment he required. Adjourned accordingly. SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) WILSON T. ROBERTS. This was an action to recover the amount of a debt owing since 1861, and defendant, described as "Miss Roberts," pleaded that she was a married woman, the debt having been contracted when she was a single woman. His Honour asked the defendant when she was married. Defendant—l forget. Plaintiff—Where was it ? Defendant—At Thornhill Church in October last. Plaintiff—What was the day of the month ? Defendant—l forget. (Laughter.) His Honour—Forget the day when you were married ! How long ago is it ? Defendant—About six months. His Honour—And forget the day of the month. I never heard of such a .thing. Why, it is the most important event in a woman's life. Defendant—l will go and ask my mother. (Laughter.) The defendant went into the body of the court and con sulted with her mother, and upon her return to the witness box stated that she had been married on October 27th last, and her husband was a sailor, who had now gone to Aus tralia. He could not be back before December next. His Honour held that the proof of the marriage was very vague, and Miss Roberts must be committed to prison for ten days in the event of her not paying a small sum per month. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. ~ d MARLBOTWUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON THE MARQUIS OF BLANDFORD AND ANOTHER OFFICER OF THE ROYAL HORSE GUARDS BY Two SOLDIERS. —Thomas Foster and Joseph Gover, two privates of the Ist battalion of Grenadier Guards, were charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and assaulting George Charles Spencer Churchill the Marquis of Blandford and W. Henry Wombwell, of the Royal Horse Guards Barracks, Knights bridge. The Marquis of Blandford said—About 12 o'clock last night I was walking with a friend in King-street, St. James's, from St. James's-square. While passing the prisoners my friend said "Look out, these men are drunk." The prisoners then pushed against us, made use of very course language, and wanted to fight. I said to my friend " We'll just mention this to the guard at St. James's as we pass." Gover then said he was not drunk, and did not care a for anybody. Foster, probably thinking he was likely to get into trouble, was about walking in a different direction. While I was standing with my hand in my poc ket, Gover aimed a blow at my face, but I moved my head and did not receive the full force of it. The other prisoner then attacked my friend, and the prisoners afterwards bolted up St. James's-place, but there being no thorough fare, they were captured and taken to the station-house. The prisoners were both drunk. Gover—Do you mean to say I struck you ? The Marquis of Blandford—Yes. _ _ _ Gover—l can assure your worship I was not drunk. One of the gentlemen said, "There•are two soldiers. They are drunk," and then to us, " You are late." Mr. Henry Wombwell—l was walking up King-street, St. James's, with the Marquis of Blanilford about 12 o'clock last night, when one of thiz prisoners pushed against us• One of the prisoners then strttok-me in the face, and broke my hat. I think it was Gover, but both prisoners attacked me. Only one of them struck the marquis. One of the prisoners (Foster) took off his belt, and then both ran up St. James's-place. • Foster—l did take off my belt, but that was to fasten a button of my trousers. Gover—How could I strike both gentlemen at one time ? I 'cyas not drunk, and am not in the habit of getting into trouble. Police-constable Bunco, 119 C—The prisoners were given into custody last night for the assault, but they denied the charge. I saw a slight scar on Mr. Wombwell's face, and that he had been assaulted. The prisoners wero drunk. Both prisoners denied being drunk. Dennison, 116 C—Cover was very drunk, but the other was not so bad. . Foster—We met the two gentlemen, and they said, " You are drunk, and we will give you in charge, and have you taken to the barracks." I said I was not absent, and had my leave till one in my pocket. My temper began to rise, and I could not help it. Mr. Knox—lt is all very well to talk of losing your temper. The ugly part in the case against you is that you took your belt off. You tell me your reason for doing so, but I believe it was to strike with it. When a soldier in a row takes off his belt it is pretty evident what it is for. Gover—Tho gentlemen talked of giving us in charge, and my friend then struck, but I never struck any one. The Marquis of Blandford—(lover was the man who struck at me. Mr. Knox—ln your drunkenness you stagger against the complainants. One of them says, "Let's go for the guard," and then fighting begins, and one of you takes off his belt. It is intolerable that young men like you both, full of strength, should conduct yourselves in such a way in the public streets. Luckily for you both it is not a grave assault or you would have gone.to the sessions. Whether the humblest or the greatest people in the land they must be protected from such assaults. You will go to prison for a month each. covered that the watch had never passed through the hands of a Clerkenwell watchmaker ; it was an importa tion from Geneva, a vile thing not worth 20s. The sailor asked forredress, and said that honest tars were continually taken in and done for. Mr. Partridge—You saw the watch before you bought it? The Sailor—Yes, your honour, but there were others bidding for it. Mr. Partridge—All confederates, no doubt. I cannot help you. Go to the County Court in Whitechapel and take out a summons.

The first general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held to-day at the London Tavern ; the Right lion. J. S. Wortley in the chair. The report presented was a lengthy document, but the principal features of interest will be found in the following abstracts "In handing to the shareholders a balance-sheet showing the position of tho company's affairs, the directors have to congratulate them.on the results of the half-year's opera tions. By the figures in the statement annexed it will be seen that the great exertions made during the past half-year have not been without commensurate results, the balance of profit and, loss account showing a net sum available, after paying all charges and expenses during the past half-year, of £394,021 16s. 4d. It will be seen, however, that iu this large amount is included the sum of X 40,000 received from the old Credit Mobilier and Credit Foncier Companies (being their reserve funds), and the sum of £160,296, the amount of premiums received onthoissuo of the new shares of this company, making togetherthe sum of £200,296, leav ing, therefore, £193,728 16s. 4d. as the net sum earned by this company during the six months just elapsed. While meeting the just expectations of the shareholders in the amount of the dividend which the directors recommend should be declaredat the ensuingmeeting, they have promi nently borne in mind that there is no way so sure of main taining and augmenting the scale of profits as that of com manding public confidence, by the formation of a large re serve fund ; they therefore have decided to appropriate £200,000 to that purpose. In fixing the dividend at 10s. per share on the £5, and ss. per share on the £3 10s. paid, equal to 20 per cent. per annum, the directors believe they have placed it at such a rate as may fairly be counted upon as a minimum dividend. They further have decided that in every half-year, when the profits will admit of a larger dis tribution, such increase should be made in the shape of a bonus, which, in the present instance, is fixed at the same amount as the dividend, thus making a distribution equal to 20 per cent. per annum on the amount of capital paid up. To further show their great desire to ensure the results of the minimum dividend of 20 per cent. per annum being always maintained, they have decided to form a fund, to be called the dividend. reserve fund, such fund to be always kept at the amount necessary to pay one year's dividend of 20 per cent. per annum on the capital for the time being paid up. This will require on the paid-up capital of £500,000, viz., the sum of £lOO,OOO, towards which the directors have, out of the profits of the present half-year, carried the sum of £70,000, and they propose to complete the fund out of future earnings. The effect of this will be practically to make our shirres a minimum 20 per cent. stock, and the action of the fund will be as follows, viz. :—lf in any half year after the sum necessary for one year's dividend on the capital paid up is reached the profits exceed 20 per cent. per annum, then, after provision for reserve, a bonus will be paid at such a rate as the directors think it prudent to recommend ; but should, from any extraordinary cause, the amount of profit not reach a sum sufficient to pay the dividend of 20 per cent. per annum, then the dividend reserve fund will make up the deficiency, and thus increased stability will be given to the company, alike from its ample reserved resources, as well as from the knowledge beforehand by the shareholders of their minimum dividend. This fund will therefore be used to insure the dividend, whilst the re serve fund will be available for any extraordinary occasions of loss or otherwise, without interrupting the revenue of the investor. The payment of the present dividend and bonus (equal together to 40 per cent, per annum) will absorb £71,983 10s. The directors further have decided to dis charge the whole of the amount of the preliminary expenses incurred by this company, viz. :—.£7,183 16s. 9d.; they also think it well to write off the item standing to the debit of building, office furniture, and fittings account, £8,457 7s. 3d., and there will still remain a sum of £34,600 10s. 7d. to be carried forward to the next half-year's profits." _ The CHAIRMAN, in rising to move the reception and adoption of the report, said it gave him un alloyed pleasure to meet the shareholders that day, because the success that had attended the com mencement of their career was unexampled. (Hear, hear.) The chairman then proceeded to deal with the principal topics mentioned in the report, and dwelt particularly upon the large dividend proposed to be paid by the Directors. He thought it a wise proposal to setaside a portion of the funds of the company to provide a fund for securing a minimum dividend of 20 per cent. The transactions of the company had been extensive but secure, and although there were some detractors of the Credit Foncier, he assured the meeting that was the fate of nearly all public bodies. (Hear, hear.) He knew there were some such persons on the Stock Ex change, but he advised the shareholders not rashly to part with their shares. To such as possessed shares in the company his advice was, don't be in a hurry to part with them. The confidence in the company was rapidly growing, and in a few years he believed the present company would be one of the largest in the city of London. (Hear, hear.) The directors, he assured the meeting, gave their whole heart to the business of the company, they attended the board with the greatest assiduity, and the de sire of every one was t o i ncrease the business and add to the prop er t y o f the compan y. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LEVICK seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN said the directors were perfectly ready to answer the directors. A SHAREHOLDER asked the nature of certain securities held by the company. The CHAIRMAN said many of the transactions were of a confidential nature; all the securities held were of an unexceptional nature, and he believed were held below their market value. (Hear, hear.) reflecting o n th e manag i ng Mr. TAYL OR th en proceeded to ma ke some state ments Mr. ALBER T G RANT, in the f u ll e st manner re pelled the insin ua ti ons o f Mr. T a ylor, and said that director. he could afford to treat with contempt observations proceeding from such a quarter. (Hear, and cheers. After some further discussion the report was adopted, and the meeting separated having voted thanks to the chairman and directors for their ser vices during the past year. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.-WEDNESDAY. If there has been a falling off in the amount of racing, and the fields have in the majority of instances been lacking in quantity and quality, there has been a degree of excite ment attendant upon some startling changes in the position of the leading favourites for the Derby and Guineas more than compensating for the quietness of the meeting in the former respects. The decline of Liddington, which com menced in town on Saturday last, the feeble condition of Breadalbane, and the short reign of his stable companion Broomielaw; the sudden jump into public favour for the Two Thousand of Kangaroo, consequent on his easy winning yes terday—all culminated this morning in the announcement that the Russley hero had had the pen struck through his name for the Derby. Mr. Merry has, doubtless, good and sufficient reason for this step ; inability to stay the course has, indeed, been stated as the chief One. The blow is a heavy one to his backers, but the fortune of war occasion ally gives these hard knocks to those who put their faithin favourites. • The racing to-day was very poor, only the Column and the Derby Trial Stakes attracting the slightest interest. The character of the lot in the former was anything but fir4t rate, and Jack o' Lantern disposed of his field very cleverly. The latter gave us another proof proof of what great mare Fille de l'Air is, she actually running away from her horses under her heavy weight directly the jockey let her go. Liddington seems to be about receiving his coup de g race for the Guineas as ho has actually done for the Derby. Eight and, in one or two instances, 10 to 1 was laid against him on the heath, and many even bets made that he was not a starter.

Nebula, in company with Lady Cochrane, Clairvoyanto, Quarantine, and Brahma, made play for a quarter of a mile when Gem of the Sea came up on their right and led into the cords, when Brahma drew forward, and getting his head in front half a dozen strides from home, won a fine race by a neck; a head only separated Gem of the Sea from Quar antine, who finished a neck in advance of The Principal ; Nebula was fifth, close up ; and Lady Cochrane sixth.

The legitimate racing season commenced yesterday, and the day being a general holiday—Easter Monday —and th e weather delightful, the number of spectators within tho ropes was immense. The fashionable world mustered in great force, and the Emperor, Empress, and the Prince Im perial were present. The running excited considerable in terest from the number of 3-yr-olds brought out, some of them now appearing in public for the first time. The result of the running is not likely to introduce any new favourite into the betting on the great races of the year, although the easy manner in which Ambass4deur and Tourmalet defeated the horses opposed to them will probably bring them more prominently forward. Besides the two above-named horses, races in which 3-yr-olds took part were also won by Doge and Callipyge. Of that number, Ambassadeur is engaged in the French Derby, Tourmalet in the French Derby and Grand Prix de Paris, Callipyge in the French Derby, Oaks, and Grand Prix do Paris ; Doge has no en gagements in France, but is entered for the Two Thousand Guineas, the Derby, and the Oaks in England. The Prix du Cadran, for 4-yr-olds, brought out only three starters of the 23 engaged, and proved an easy victory for Beatrix, as was expected, odds of 5 to 2 being laid on her winning. Subjoined are details of the prbceedings:— A Purse of 2,000 f., for horses 3-yr-old and upwards. Entry, 100 f. Weight for age, with certain penalties and allowances. Distance, 2,200 metres. 12 subs.

Betting-7 to 2 each agst Feu-Follet and Ninon-de l'Enclos, 4 to 1 agst Galimafre, 5 to 1 agst Grande-Dame, 7 to 1 agst Doge. Touriste led, with Doge coming next. On descending the hill Doge took the first place, and Feu-Follet went forward and also passed Touriste, but failed to overtake Count do Lagrange's horse, who won easily by two lengths. The same distance separated Feu-Pollet from Carouge, who beat Touriste for third place. The Prix de la Grotte, a selling race of 2,000 f., for horses 3-yr-old and upwards.

After passing the windmill Miriflor, Simoun, and Michel- Ange drew away from the rest, and ran in advance until nearing the corner, when Simouh and Michel-Ange were beaten, and fell back, and Frangoise de Rimini came for ward and took their places, Mirliflor still keeping first. The race seemed likely to end in this order, when, at the dis tance post, Ambassadeur rushed forward from theruck, and overtaken the favourite at the stands, and when going to the front won easily by a length; Miriflor beating Frangoise de Rimini for second place; Allegretto finishing fourth; and M.

MORE FURIOUS DRIVING.—William Amos, a butcher, of Cubitt-town, Poplar, was brought up on a remand before Mr. Partridge, charged with furiously and recklessly driv ing a horse and cart in the Bow-road on Friday last, when a child was knocked down and killed, the wheel of his cart having passed over the deceased. It was proved tnat the prisoner was driving a large and spirited horse at the rate of 12 miles an hour, and that he was charged at this court on the 3d' December last with furious driving, and ordered to pay costs. Inspector Kerressey, of the K division, said the coroner's jury at an inquest on the body returned the following ver dict, " That William Amos, of Cubitt Town, in the ,said county, builder, did feloniously and unlawfully kill and slay against the peace of our Sovereign Lady the Queen her Crown and dignity, David John Keenan, and that the said David John Keenan, at the time of his death, was a male person of the age of 5 years and 6 months." Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial f or man slaughter. MOCK AUCTIONS.—A seaman, named Robert Maxwell, from the north, but without any northern acuteness, ap plied to Mr. Partridge for redress against a gang of vil lains carrying on a mock auction in the district. There are several of these establishments in the east, and the pro prietors of them have nested considerable sums by their nefarious practices. The police have interfered and shut up several, but others are in full vigour. The applicant entered one of those cheating dens yesterday afternoon, and was induced by others who were bidding to bid for " a very handsome Clerkenwell-made watch," for so it was described by the auctioneer ; and a Jew-looking man said it was worth £5. The sailor bid £2 10s., and it was knocked down to him for that sum. He soon dis- _ SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

The Price of Gold. Tile quotation of gold at Paris is about 11 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London Is 25.171 per Ll sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 Us. 10/d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is rather more than I.l(th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 249 per cent., and the premium on gold 127 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of go d frJm the United States. By advic:s from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per marl and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 stalin . Standard gold at the English Mint price is, theref, re, about -10ths per cent. dearer in London thin in Hamburg. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

BARON CIIANNELL AND CLIFTON SUSPEN SION-BRIDGE. —One evening during the recent assizes an elderly gentleman passed the toll-house on the Clifton side of the Suspension-bridge , and put down his penn y. The bridge - keepe r, seeing he wax a stranger, inquired if ho wished for a return ticket. The gentleman, h ow ever, took no notice of the question, b u t wa lk e d on so l emn ly and slowly. On coming back, he was passing th r ough, when the toll-keeper a ccos t e d hi m w ith , " P ay here,l l ir,ple ly as r e e . p " . " Pay her e ! w h at f or ? I pa id before," as but firmly, r e p the s gruff ‘l i ß ed ut th y e ou k ' e ll ep h e a r v . e t “ o l p ea ay ll a t g h a a i t n, fi s n ir po i: " ti imposition !" replied the gentleman, and care, os getting warmer at w h a t h e apparent l y • th oug ht was tin attempt at ext or ti on on the part o f t h e man, h e added, Takeon— g r I'm a magistrate." " I can't help that, sir," was the answ er; " my i nstruc ti ons aro th a t p e opl e p a y going and returning ; you can see the act of Parliament if you like to look in here," pointing to the toll-house. "'Poll, I will see the act," replied the gentleman, following the man in. He read the act, pondered over it for awhile, then pulled out his penny and paid it, walking off, and mutter ing as he did. " Nonsuited, by George !" " I see the judge has just passed over the bridge," observed a gentleman who came up at the moment. " Who, sir ? what ?" gasped the toll-keeper, quite frightened to think that ho had been bandying law with so high an authority. " Sure that was not a judge ?" " Yes ; no less a person than Baron Chan nell," was the reply, and so it turned out to be, as the keeper saw him proceeding to court next morning. Thus the bridge proprietors may be said to have obtained an extra-judicial decision in favour of their to and fro charge. —Bristol Times and Mirror. Mr. Farnall yesterday resumed the inquiry, into the case of Richard Gibson and th e St. Giles 's workhouse officials. A good deal of eviden ce was taken in reference not only to the treatment of Gibson, but to the general dis cipline of the workhouse. The inquiry was adjourned until to -day. A re,solution has been passed by the committee of the Stock Exchange rescinding the rule which re fused the recognition of dealings in new shares be fore letters of allotment were issued. The resolu tion, however, will have to be confirmed at another meeting. ~--- 100 100 103 100 100 190 100 100 10 100 100 II It 2.1.0 2.14.6 3.4.0 2.7.0 2.13.6 9.10.6 601 all 1.1.0 7.8.3 8.13 4.18.
