ONEY MARKET ANY? COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The official minimum of 4 per cent. is still required among bankers and brokers for the negotiation of the best description of short-dated paper. The app ro aching liquidation of monthly accounts on th e th will no doubt create a fresh demand for dis count a ccommodation, and there is therefore, with the present small supply of capital in the market, very little likelihood of any relaxation in the terms for assistance. The Mexican dollars brought by the West India steamer have been disposed of at 59id. per oz., showing no alteration in the rate. The small quantity of bar silver by the same steamer has been sold at 60id. per oz Messrs. de Mattas and Godefrai, merchants and e xchange dealers, have suspended payment, but t heir liabilities are stated to amount to only about £130,000, and a fairer realisation is expected. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon here was no material alteration. There were no bullion operations at the Bank Yesterday. The Oneida has arrived from the Brazils with £43,952, and the Wave of Life, from Melbourne, With £12,984. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Friday, May 5, a special settling day in the shares of the following companies —Renter's Tele gram Company, to be marked in the twice-a-week ; West London Docks and Warehouses Com pany to be marked ; and in the Trinidad Petro leum Company, not to be marked, the mode of issue and the allotment being unsatisfactory and irregular. An order has been made by the Master of the Rolls for the winding -up of the Joint-Stock Com panies' Association (Limited), under the supervision of the Court. Mr. George Scott, of Bond-court, 'Walbrook, has been appointed :iquidator. It has been notified that Sir Arthur Buller, M.P., has joined the direction of the Library Company. Two O'CLOCK.

Fehrenbach, one of the ablest photographers in London, has just issued from his German School of Photography, at 111, Strand, a couple of carte-de-visite- liknesses of the young actor, John Wilkes Booth, who is believed to have been the murderer of President Lincoln on Good Friday last (of all days in the year, on Good Friday !) at Ford's Theatre, in the city of Washington. One of these cartes is in profile, the other in three-quarter face —the latter represents the assassin in a loose-fitting Inverness cape, the former in a tightly buttoned frock coat. The head in both is uncovered. And both heads are wonderfully handsome—not the least in the world what one would imagine for a single instant to be the effigy of an assassin. A comely face, with the bloom and freshness of youth upon it—aquiline features—dark hair and dark moustache, the beard otherwise shorn—the irladto i tself seemingly ver y goo d i n d eed phrenologically ! Altogether an incomprehensible and utterly bewildering likeness of a man who has perpetrated so ruthless and de testable an assassination. The Earl and Countess of Durham have returned home from Cannes, having made a brief stay in Parrs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A LOVE AYPAIR.—THREATENING TO KILL A GIRL.— John Downes, described as a tailor, of No. 8, Poller-street, Hanover-square, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by Michael O'Shaughnessy, one of the warrant officers, charged with threatening to kill Rose Newton, a delicate and in teresting girl, about 16 years of' age, residing with her parents, in Lancashire-court, Old Bond-street. The complainant said she used to go out with the pri soner, and on Sunday night last, she not having been out with him that day, he threatened her dreadfully, and said that if he did not have her no one else should. On Mon day, while dancing with another girl in the court to an organ, the prisoner said, "Don't dance before me, unless you want a scene in the court." Shortly after, the girl who was dancing with her, and who lived in the same house as the prisoner, went up stairs and found him with a knife in his hand. The reason why she had gone out with the prisoner was principally because he hadrepeatedly threatened her if she did not do so, and she went in fear of him. Mary Ann Charles, the girl alluded to by the com plainant, proved seeing the prisoner with a knife in his hand, sitting on the stairs, and crying. She told her father, who came down and took the knife from him. Tho prisoner said he would not annoy the complainant again. He sent to the complainant to come to him that he might beg her pardon, but she did not come. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not wonder at that. Nobody liked to be stabbed if they could help it. The prisoner would have to find two bail to keep the peace towards the complainant for six months. GROSS CRUELTY TO A PONY.—Jobn Monteith, of 2, St. Peter's-road, Kingsland, marine-store dealer, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the instance of Mr. William Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelly treating a horse by working it in an unfit state. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 10s., or 14 days.

The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up to our market, to-day, were very moderate. The condition of the pro duce being good, the demand for all qualities ruled steady, at Monday's advance in prices. A portion of the supply was taken off by buyers from the North of England. With foreign wheat—both American and Continental— the market was very moderately supplied. For all descrip tions the trade ruled firm, and late rates were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain wore in fair average request, at full currencies. Barley was in very moderate supply. The trade for all qualities was firm at fully late rates. Only a moderate business was transacted in malt at late rates. There was a good supply of oats on sale. Most descrip tions were in steady request at full prices. Both beans and peas were very firm. The market was scantily supplied. Most descriptions of flour moved off steadily. In some instances a slight advance took place in prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

A special meeting of this company was held at Glasgow on Friday, Sir A. Orr in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said he had to submit three bills for their approval. The first was a bill authorising the company to make a railway from Glasgow to Kilmarnock. It would commence by a junction with the Glasgow Union Railway at Hospital-street, and run almost in a straight line to Kilmarnock. This would shorten the distance to England by 12 miles, open up an entirely new district, and greatly improve their system. A formal resolution approvingthe bill was carried. The next was a bill to authorise the company to subscribe £300,000 towards the Glasgow Union undertaking. The power was permissive, and the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company had likewise in serted in their bill permissive powers to subscribe a similar sum. The heads of the bill having been read, a formal resolution approving it was adopted. Thd next bill which the meeting approved was for authorising the Glasgow Union Railway Com pany to form an improved junction with the Glasgow and South-Western Railway, in lieu of one condi tionally sanctioned last session. The meeting was then adjourned for the consi deration of other bills to the 12th inst. ROYAL SWEDISH. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. Austin in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in 7he Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the permanent way and rolling stock were in good order, - and that some further re pairs and renewals would be necessary. The com pany had worked the Government line from Orebo to Halsberg at a profit of £l,lOO, but subsequently the Government had taken it into their own hands, and so that account had disappeared from the com pany's revenue. There had been an increase on the traffic of the railway, especially in the goods depart ment, but the expenses were also heavy, as they had to renew 1,500 sleepers. They obtained trafficfrom the Nora branch, but not so much as if it were their own. They had received £3,000 from the Nether lands Land Company, with 5 per Cent. interest to the time of 'giving up the bonds. With regard to the proposed branch from Linda into the mineral dis trict north of their line, if they could have made it, between £2,000 and £3,000 a-year would have been added to their traffic, but they had had no means available for that purpose. If the Government should lease the company's line, they might be induced to assist in the making of the Linda branch. The line of ten miles from Arboga to Doping could now be completed for £lB,OOO in stead of the £20,000 or £25,000 originally esti mated. It would probably be the object of the Government to have possession of the whole system of Swedish railways. The efforts heretofore made by the directors to induce the Government to pur chase the company's line had been futile. Owing to the state of the Swedish finances they were not perhaps in a position to purchase the company's railway, at the same time they had the benefit of the line in the country. The Swedish Government had not acted liberally towards them, and, owing to the non-completion of the line by the time speci fied, the company were not in a position to enforce the guarantee. The Government line from Gotten burg to Stockholm was 350 miles in length, and the extension from the company's line joined it at Hale berg. The Government were about to make a line from Christiana to Stockholm, and they could work over the 35 miles of the company's line, and thus save a considerable sum. It would, therefore, an swer the purpose of the Government to lease the line and work it in connexion with the Linda branch. The Diet would meet in October next, and it was understood that the Government were favour able to leasing the line, and if they should agree to do so for five or seven years both would be enabled to see their way more clearly. He then explained that the directors proposed to pay 2s. per obligation to the obligation holders, which, with 2s. paid pre viously, would enable the company to get rid of two coupons, leaving a reserve in hand. Mr. CIIAPLIN seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report. Some discussion ensued, in the course of which it was stated that they proposed to lease the line in the first instance at £5,000 a year, and half the surplus profits for a term of five or seven years. The inte rest on the obligations would amount to £6,000 a year, and until that was paid, together with arrears, the preference and original shareholders would get nothing. The traffic on the line was increasing, and during the first three months of this year the increase was £4OO. The line might be worth £lO,OOO a year at the end of the five or seven years, as it was in the power of the Government to develope the traffic. The Swedish chairman of the company had been in negotiation with the Swedish Minister on the sub ject of leasing the line. The report was adopted, and the payment of 2s. per obligation on the Ist of June next was agreed to. It was thought,advisable to leave the question of leasing the line in the hands of the Board, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. .SHE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVEAING, MAY 3,18 C SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SPRING MEETING. THE TWO THOUSAND DAY. It is the fashion to speak of each recurring anniversary of turf events as surpassing all those preceding it in the excitement and interest it evokes. Doubtless it is a mere figure of speech in many instances, but it was ass u r e dl y the truth to-day. The concurrent testimony of all sporting writers, as well as of that large section of society who dabble but lightly in the dangerous waters of racing, all help to prove our assertion. For the reason of this we must look to the high private reputation of Breadalba,ne— the very large sum paid by Mr. H. Chaplin for him and his stable companion Broomielaw, and the flattering accounts given of the former's appearance and style of going. Never has a " dark" horse excited such attention or com manded such confidence as this splendid-looking son of Stockwell. Though on his arrival here at the end of last week he was pronounced hardly as fit as he shoisld bo for this important event, and though the sudden rush to get on Bedminster, consequent on Sir Joseph Hawley's victory with Argonaut Yesterday, and the coming again of Liddington, somewhat shook his position, yet both last night and this morning no one ventured " to take liberties with him," and one of the leading bookmakers would not lay more than 5 to 1 against him. The crowds brought by road and rail into the town this morning exceeded anything we have seen of late years. It was a Derby, and not in miniatures The horsemen formed a body of irregular cavalry difficult to avoid ; the carriages were many deep ; the foot people countless. Elaborate luncheons, after the manner or Epsom, were the rule; and the only drawback to complete enjoyment the wind and dust, the latter being in greater force than we ever remember. Beyond the scratching of Chattanooga and the rise of the French horse Gladiateur there was no change worth recording. As the hour drew near which was to unravel the mys tery and set at rest the hopes and fears of the last six months the excitement deepened. There were several failures of course, but at length a capital start was effected, the 18 wore seen coming along in line, with Pantaloon making running for Kangaroo in the van. The race is so fully described below that we will not repeat the tale here ; sufficient to say that the pace was first-rate, the favourites were always in front, and that from the bushes in one of the finest races ever seen ensued beiween Liddington, Gladiateur, Archimedes, Zambesi, and Breadalbane, the French colt staying the longest, and, though closely pressed by Archimedes, winning, after an exciting struggle, by a neck amidst loud cheering. Ho is a bay colt, of immense power and great quality, and bids fair to perpetuate the triumphs of the French stable on the downs of Surrey.

The flag was lowered, after a delay of 25 minutes, to an excellent start. Pantaloon on the extreme right was the first away, and, with Regalia, Tibia, Zambesi, Rifle, and Bed minster in close company, made the running at a great pace, Liddington, who headed the others, lying in the centre of the course, having on his left Jack o'Lantern, Le Mandarin, Gladiateur, Breadalbane, and Kangaroo, and some lengths in their rear Archimedes, Joker, Ariel, and Cedric. They ran •in these positions to the Bushes-hill, where Pantaloon, having performed his allotted task, dropped back, and the running was immediately taken up by Zambesi, followed on the extreme loft by Kangaroo, close in whose track were Gladiateur, Breadalbane, Archi medes, Liddington, Bedminster, and Jack o'Lantem, who ran in such close order that a sheet would have covered the lot. On reaching the Abingdon Mile-bottom, Kangaroo and Bedminster were beaten, and Zambesi on rising the hill was headed by Gladiateur, who as they entered the cords was joined by Lord Stamford's colt and Lid dington. Thence ensued one of the finest races between the four witnessed for many years, the French representa tive winning in the last stride by a neck, Archimedes de feating Liddington by a like distance for second; Zambesi finished fourth, beaten a head, close up with whom Breadal bane finished fifth, Jack o'Lantern sixth, Bedminster seventh, Ariel eighth ; and then came at wide intervals Le Mandarin, Pantaloon, and Kangaroo.

The Court awarded a sum of £750 against the owners of a vessel called the Martin Luther, which had been abandoned, or was a "derelict;" and, in the case of a vessel called the Rich mond, the owners were ordered to pay £1,500. There had been yellow fever on board ; the captain had died, and only a boy was able to read the burial service. When the Emblin came up the crew were ready to abandon her ; she was however brought safely to England. The Court said it was a most meritorious service, and awarded the sum mentioned and costs.

BOROUGH FRANCHISE EXTENSION BILL, A number of petitions having been presented in favour of this bill, Mr. BAINES rose to move the second reading of his bill, the object of which was to reduce theborough quali fication of voters to £6. He said he felt he should not be asking the house in vain for its indulgence, whilst he urged it to redress an acknowledged wrong pressing on the great majority of the people; an acknowledged wrong because the defective state of the representation had been acknowledged by the highest authority. Five times they had been reminded from the throne that such was the condition of the representation ; four Prime Ministers o the Crown had brought in bills, but without success, and the house had passed the second reading of a measure without a division, and yet that objectionable state of things still remained. He had not been anxious to bring forward the measure, because he felt there were others more capable than himself, and he should have been glad had the Government taken up the subject. He should have been exceedingly gratified had the right hon. gentle man, whose sentiments in that house had done him so much honour, and which had called forth the gratitude of the people, had been induced to deal with the matter ; but such not being the case, he had felt it incumbent upon himself to attempt to remedy the anomaly. It had been stated as an objection against the measure that the last session of a Parliament, which had but twelve months to run before it died a natural death, was not the time to proceed with such a bill ; but he felt that of all times it was the most oppor tune, because it would enable its being carried into effect by the new voters created by it. His bill had been copied from that brought forward by Lord John Russell, but it related only to the borough franchise. Although a bill had been brought forward by the hon. member for East Surrey to extend the county franchise by lowering the qualification to £lO, it was not such as to meet the great want, viz., an extension of the borough franchise, so as to admit the great body of the working class to the exercise of that right to which they were entitled. The noble lord below him (Lord Elcho) had given notice of his intention to move the previous question, as he strongly objected to any lowering of the existing qualification. He was glad it was so, be cause there would be a full discussion of the whole matter, and thus the great want would receive the attention which its merits really demanded. He thought it would be unwise to postpone passing a bill such as that now before them, because if they did so he was well assured that in a short time such a moderate demand would not satisfy the immense body now excluded from the representation, and i strong, and perhaps irre sistible, demand would bo made upon them for manhood oruniversal suffrage. Hisbill only extended to England and Wales, and his observations, therefore, only applied to that part of the kingdom. The upper classes, he contended, were well represented in that house, but the working class, as a class, were nearly entirely unrepresented. Some hon. membersmight represent slew, but they were so scattered that he contended he was right in his observations. It was expected that the working class would be loyal, obedient, well affected, and obeyers of the law, but had they any hand in making those laws they were expected to obey ? Certainly not. Again, it was urged as an objection against the measure that a lowering of the elective franchise would lower the status of :the Legislature, but he re garded such an objection as a complete fallacy, and one for which there was not the slightest ground. The foremost men in the country would always deem it an honour t o have a seat in that house—(hear, hear) —and those, he felt assured, would be the persons from whom its members would be selected. Suppose there should happen to be an election of a working man, he thought the addition of several intelligent and virtuous men to; seats in that house would be of the greatest advantage. They would be enabled to :give very valuable:information— valuable to the body to which they belonged, and of which many of the members now knew nothing, and more than likely those working men might learn something beneficial to themselves and to the class to which they belonged. He looked upon it as a vain fancy if for one moment it was imagined that an adventurer would be elected to a seat in that house ; on the contrary, he contended that wherever there was a large constituency there invariably the most celebrated men that had ever adorned the legislature had been selected. The hon. gentleman then quoted a variety of statistics to show the great progress the country had made in the last few years, concluded by saying that the bill he had the honour to propose would give an additional 141,000 voters, excluding the Metro politan boroughs, or about 32 per cent. to the oxising number ; and he felt that the concession would not cost the exchequer a single farthing, but would increase and strengthen one of the most valuable institutions of the constitution. Mr. BAZLEY seconded the motion. (LEFT SITTING.) SKIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day. BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH. GRAVESEND, Wednesday Morning.
