MONE/ MARKET AND COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGENCE, Twit.TE O'CLOOK. The discount market has opened with greater firmness, and there is a good general demand for commercial purposes. More activity has been pro duced by the arrival at maturity of a large Lumber of bills connected with the Australian trade. At the Bank of England no gold operations of importance took place on Saturday. The Douro has arrived from the West Indies with specie to the amount of £176,000, and the Mississippi from New York with £96,000. At a meeting to-day of the Bank of Australia the directors declared a dividend, payable on the 16th of April next, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum,, and a bonus at the rate of 6i per cent. per annum, both free of income-tax, being together at the rate of 12i per cent. per annum, or £2 103. per share for the half-year. The traffic returns on the Ottoman Railway for the week ending 17th February last were £B3l 4s. 5d., and in the corresponding week of 1866, £454 4s. 10d. The mileage this year is 80/, while last year it was only 481. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain steady at 32i 33i ; and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 24 25k. The Board of Trade returns for the month of January were issued this morning, and show the total declared value of the exports to have been £12,786,842 against £14,354,748 in the like period of 1866, and showing a decrease of £1,567,906. The imports have, in most instances, been rather smaller as compared' with those of the similar period of the previous year, while the shipping accounts are also of rather a less persuasive character. The accounts from the manufacturing districts during the past week have generally been of an un satisfactory character. At Manchester only a mode rate business has been transacted in cloths and yarns, at rather lower rates. In the woollen dis tricts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield no material change can be reported. The dealings in all descriptions of spring and summer fabrics have been on the most limited scale, while in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton operations generally have only, been to supply immediate home requirements. Two O'CLOCK. Although there is very little business in progress values at the Stock Exchange are very well sus tained. Commercial affairs are more promising, confidence is expressed iu the adininistration, and Fenianism, after St. Patrick's Day passed so quietly, is believed to be dying out. The funds are therefore very firm at 91k for money, and 911 for the account. A call of £1 per share has been made to-day by the Natal Land and Colonisation Company, pay able at the London and County Bank or any of its branches. Payment is to be made in two instal ments, viz., 10s. on the 15th April, and 10s. on the 15th May neat.. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 89i I; ditto New. 3f per Cents., 96f ; Exchequer Bills, 15s. 183. prem. for March; and 18s. prem. for June. Bank Stock shut. A sight improvement is perceptible in the Foreign Stock department. Greek have advanced e 1 to 15i 16i ; Italian *, to 531 1 ; Spanish Passive *, to 22 i; the Certificates to 141 ; Turkish 5 per Cents., *, to 301 j ; Russian Scrip 1,2 i prem. ; Chili= Scrip *, to 2i t dis ; Danubian Scrip 1 1 dis. In the Railway Share Market business has re- Pained very inactive, and the general tendency of prices has been downwards. Brighton have receded 1 • Great Eastern, Great Western, and North - Ea ' stern (Berwick), each 4 ; and Manchester, Shef field, and Lincoln, Midland, and South-Eastern each 1. The Foreign and Colonial lines are very inactive, and in a few instances exhibit less firmness. Bank Shares remain very dull. Anglo-Egyp tian have receded to 13, Land Mortgage Bank of India to 2i, and Union of London to 441. America; Securities show little variation. United States 5-20 Bonds have declined k, to 74-1 ; Erie Shares I, to 39i 40 ; but Illinois have advanced *, to 78 In the Miscellaneous Market there has been very little animation, and no material alteration can be reported as regards values. Atlantic Telegraph 8 per Cents. are marked 62 65; Hudson's Bay Com pany, 15i ; and National Discount Company, 12/ 13. MINING MARKET. MONDAY, Two o'Clock.

POLICE INTELLIGELME.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A "BUCK" CHARGED WITH FURIOUS DRIVING.—DAN GEROUS CONDUCT.—George Powndes, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk, furiously driving a horse and cab, and also with wilfully damaging the cab. Police-constable Buckingham, 328 A, said that on the previous night about 10 o'clock, while in Regent-street, he saw the prisoner and another man each on a cab going at a furious rate, and each in turn trying to get before the other and to throw his opponent off the box. At last the other man so pressed on the prisoner's horse and cab that he knocked them both over on to the pavement, the cab the prisoner was driving being a good deal damaged. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable said the pri- Boner, who was drunk, was also thrown on the pavement. I. Mr. John Locke, cab proprietor, of Gray's-inn-road I said the cab in question was his property, but was not t taken out by the prisoner, but by another man. lie did not I know where the night cabman was. The damage done to the cab amounted to £l2. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mr. Locke stated that the horse was much hurt. The prisoner was what was called a " buck," a great annoyance to cab proprietors, and whe ther he took the cab off the stand on his own account or was allowed by the driver to do so he could not say. The prisoner said his brother was the proper driver, but coming home unwell he asked him to go out with the cab, he did eo. Another cabman rode against him. The constable said he believed the other cabman, when he drove off, came in collision with a post, and damaged his cab. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 10s. or seven days for furious driving, and ordered him to pay 40s. for the da mage or a month, stating that but for the fact that the pri soner had to pay for the damage the fine would have been heavier. THAMES. St. Patrick's bay passed off in a remarkably quiet man ner in the district assigned to this court yesterday. There were only 14 prisoners, , making up 12 night charges, this morning. Of these one, Edward Pritchett, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, Robert Noble was charged with being drunk and incapable, George Dobson with be ing drunk and committing wilful damage, Susannah Fuller and Thomas Hiciey with being drunk only ; and three Irishmen, mimed Mill' Drikoll, Daniel Driscoll, and Daniel Sullivan with assaults on Saturday night. There was not a single Irishman or Iriskwoman charged with any excess yesterday. Richard Charman, a man about 30, was brought up with his head enveloped in London Hos pital bandages. He had lost a good deal of blood. He was found on Saturday night in the Minories by a City police constable, 791. He was helplessly drunk. He had fallen on his head and received a severe wound .He was taken to the London Hospital and his wound was dressed. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner's drunkenness had brought its own punishment, and discharged him. The Driscolls, brothers, were convicted of assaulting several persons in the course of a public-house row, and also with assaulting a police-constable named Reeves, 290 S, on Saturday night. Mr. Partridge, addressing the prisoners,.said—lf you had taken the advice of Archbishop Manning, and refrained from drink on St. Patrick's-eve, you would not have been in this disgraceful position. You got drunk in keeping up St. Patrick's-eve, and acted with great vio lence. They were the only Irishmen brought before him that morning charged with being drunk on Saturday even ing, and not one for being drunk or disorderly yesterday, a sign that the good advice of Archbishop Manning had been generally followed by the Irish people in the district. Ileifined the prisoners 40s. each, and in default of payment one month's imprisonment. WESTMINSTER. A POLITE WAY OF STEALING.—G. Hamilton was charged with stealing a suit of clothes, the property of the guardians of the poor of St. John the Evangelist. T. Waterman, superintendent of the casual ward at St. John's, said prisoner was admitted as a pauper on March 1, and remained until the 10th. Last Sunday week he and several others were allowed to go out to church at 9.30, and prisoner never returned. He had on parish trousers, jacket, stockings, waistcoat, and shirt, value 30s. Last night he apprehended the prisoner coming out of the Par ker-street Refuge, Drury-lane. He had on only the waist coat (the buttons of which he had altered) and the stock fngs, and said he had sold the others to a strange man for Be. The value of the things stolen was 255. Prisoner said the jacket was full •f holes, and had been warn twelve months before. Re always tried to do his work satisfactorily when he was in the house. He could not get work in the workhouse clothes and so he sold them. Re had no way to get a living except by stealing, his clothes were not fit to do a job in. He thought it was only a polite way of getting clothes. Mr. Pelle said it was substantially stealing. He was liable to be sent to prison for three months as a rogue and vagabond ; this was only a polite way of stealing what did not belong to him. He should sentence him to six weeks' hard labour. DEAN MILMAN is to occupy the chair at the Literary Fund Dinner on the 15th of May. JERUSALEM, according to some recent statistics, is still, in some reepocts, the City of the Jews. It is found that there are 7,000 Jewish inhabitants, 5,000 Mahometans, and 3,400 Christians in the place. _ _ _ SIR MOSES MONTEFIORE.—The philanthropic and benevolent Hebrew baronet, Sir Moses Montefiore, has determined, since his return last spring from the Holy Land, to erect another hospice at Jerusalem for the resi dence of several poor Israeiitish families. It is proposed that the building shall be on a large scale, and built near to that which was erected in 1859. EDUCATION.—A return has just been published which shows that the number of candidates who presented themselves for examination at the training colleges at Christmas, 1866, was 1,614, against 1,555 at the previous Christmas, of whom 1,207 passed their examination, against 1,306 at the previous Christmas. The number of those who entered the training colleges in January, 1867, was 1,121, against 1,215 in January, 1866; and the num ber of pupil teachers apprenticed in 1866 was 3,070, against 2,631 in the previous year. ALLEGED MURDER.—At the Manchester assizes on Saturday, Alfred Thomas Heap, aged 33 years, was charged with having murdered Phoebe Locke, at Manches ter, in February last. From the evidence it appeared that Mrs. Locke was the wife of a chemist and druggist, carry ing on business in the neighbourhood of Manchester. The prisoner, although he was said to have practised as a surgeon, was not legally qualified to do so. It was alleged that he had caused the death of Mrs. Locke by attempting to procure abortion. After a leng;hened trial a verdict of not guilty was returned on the first count, charging him with murder, and the prosecution intimated that they would indict him on the second count, which charged him with intent to procure abortion. THE ALLEGED MURDER IN BERMONDSEY.—The coroner's inquiry respecting the circumstances attending the death of the man Michael Walton, who had been found insensible in Long-walk, Bermondsey, was con cluded, at Guy's Hospital, on Saturday evening. It will be remembered that the police at first thought the man was intoxicated, and treated him as if nothing else ailed him. Afterwards they took him to the hospital, where he died in about three hours. A verdict of "Manslaughter" against some person or persons unknown was returned. It has been decided by the National Rifle Asso ciation that the Easter Monday volunteer review shall be held at Dover. ritEFERENtiN stiAltEs London and Brighton, 5 per cent. gua. stock, No. 1,99 i PREFERENCE SHARES AND STOCKS.

The decision of the committee at Tattersall's on the Soiled Dove case, which is as follows, is condemned on all hands:— " Soiled Dove, three years old, having been disqualified by Rule 17, all bets which were won on the three sweep stakes and match must bo refunded, as well as the money for which she was backed. The second horses in each case of the races alluded to being the bona fide winners of the stakes and bets. "H. J. Rous, " G. PAYNE, " FREDK. FITZROY. " Tattersall's, Monday, March 11, 1867." Mr. Chaplin, however, has forwarded the following pro test, but I think it might have been made on much broader principles : (Copy.) TO THE COMMITTEE OF TATTERSALL'S SUBSCRIPTION ROOM. 9, Dover-street, Piccadilly, W., March 15, 1R67. gentlemen, —As it appears from the notice at Tatter sall's on Monday last that the question in reference to the bets in the Soiled Dove case v.eis settled by three members of the committee only, whereas Rule VIII. of Tattersall's provides that the quorum shall be five, I beg to submit to the members of the committee that in justice to the backers of Soiled Dove, the case should at least be heard and decided by the recognised tribunal onstituted accord ing to the rules, and by such tribunal only.—l remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant, .iIENILY CHAPLIN. And a more unsatisfactory conclusion, in my estimation, was never arrived at. Underneath is a list of the mem bers of the committee*, and I may bo permitted to express some surprise at the majority of them being conspicuous by their absence. When one notices the names of Beaufort, Newcastle, Coventry, and Westmorland on the commit tee, it is natural to wonder at their not being present upon such an occasion as this to lend their influence and posi tion to a satisfactory solution of this uafortunate affair, which must, as a matter of course, be a great injustice to some of the parties concerned. The first rule of betting says that "In all bets there must be a possibility to win when the bet is made ; you cannot win when you cannot lose;" and why innocent parties should be made to suffer for the offences of others is beyond my comprehension. When the gallant Admiral nails his colours to the mast he hum right to adhere to thern l ;but in this case he certainly has been premature in doing so. Supposing himself the innocent holder of a forged Cheque or Beak of England note, would it be just, or right, or prop a- that he should suffer the penalties attaching to the guilty party by law ? and unless an answer is given in the affirmative how can he, in common honesty, inflict en Mr. Chaplin and others the penalty which are put in force by Rule 17. Does the Admiral doubt Mr. Chaplin's entire innocence, as most assuredly on no other grounds can he justify the decision given. If, as I believe, Soiled Dove was foaled abroad, there can be no doubt that the officials of the Jockey Club were guilty of negligence quite sufficient to make them liable in a court of justice to him for whatever loss he may sustain should the above decision be enforced. Rule 15 has been entirely ignore.' by them, and from that lathes arises all the mischief, as in thoother case Mr. Chap lin would not have had the opportunity of claiming Soiled Dove, and who did so under the responsibility of the Jockey Club management. On looking over the list of names it is remarkable that although the bookmakers as a class are more enterprising and energetic than any other, they appear to have been quite indifferent to have their interests properly represented on the committee. Surely now, when their transactions are daily of such magnitude, it would be worth while for some of the leading book makers to take counsel together, and draw up a code of better rules for themse!ves. The only difficulty I can foresee is the requisite unanimity amongst them. With it there is nothing to prevent them not only framing the rules, but enforcing them. Their power properly managed would be fully equal to the Jockey Club, and I hope the ftuggestions I have made will attract their notice. The principal meeting of the present week is Warwick, though Bromley. a few miles from town on the South Eastern lino, will doubtless be extensively patronised on Friday and Saturday. For the Trial Stakes on Tuesday at the first-named place, REDAN must be my selection, as he has a fine turn of speed over this distance of ground, and had he not stumbled at Chelmsford in his first race there would, I feel persuaded, have been wily troublesome to the winner. In the Sweepstakes of 25 sovs each EA.O DE VIE is most likely to prove beneficial. Winning the Willoughby Handicap entails a penalty of 71b for the principal race of the meeting, and having doubts whether either Pintail or Life Guardsman will run, my present im pression is all in favour of BRICK. The Handicap Hurdle Race reads well for CHIMNEY SWEEP, or whichever repre sents Lord Coventry's interest. The Stand Plate was won by GORDIAN KNOT last year, and it will not surpi Ise me to see him repeat the victory this time, as he has only 7lb more to carry. Should PARIs run he ought to win the Handicap of 50 sovs, and in his absence it seems any odds on Cmnisa. The Farmers' Plate I know nothing about. The Great Warwickshire Handicap will be the chief attraction on Wednesday. Of the 26 animals engaged, Beadle or Wild Agnes, Wandering Minstrel, Life Guards man, Pintail, Endsleigh, and Forester appear most fa vourably in, the five three year olds having, to my think ing, .a, very indifferent time, with their ._older _op ponents. Whichever represents the Duko of Hamil ton is sure to run forward, but from the demon stration made a short time back on behalf of the mare the City and Suburban• I should doubt her put ting in an appearance here. Wandering Minstrel, on his Liverpool form, must have an excellent chance. Life Guardsman is some day likely to prove himself a race horse, and I would strongly advise your readers never to lose sight of him, and - follow suit to any genuine investments which may be made on him. His noble owner's tactics are so uncertain that it is only at the last minute one can tell whether the horse is trustworthy, or oven likely to start. Pintail and the Beadle are remark ably well in, so also is Endsleigh ; but well at the post I have groat faith in Mr. Payne's mare, who ought to be about winning. Forester is also turned loose, and between • the Beadle, Wandering Minstrel, Pintail, I shall leave tho race. The Two-Year-Old Stakes will go to the Duko of New castle's NINNY, who has already given us a taste of his quality on two previous occasions. The Grand Annual Steeplechase on Thursday will de pend a good deal on the running at Croydon to-day, but Hornet, Fan, Banker, and Accident ought to furnish the winner, as they are all favourably in. Some little demonstration has already been° made in favour of Proserpine for the Metropolitan Stakes, and if the owner should decide to start her for that event, it looks like turning out a profitable investment. Good accounts also reach me respecting Conundrum for the City and Suburban Handicap. A FRESH MAN. * His Grace the Duko of Lord Frederick Fitzroy. Beaufort. , Hon. Col. Henry Forrester.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CROYDON SPRING STEEPLECHASES.—SATURDAY This meeting, after having been postponed from Thurs day, on account of the inclement weather, commenced to day. The morning opened beautifully fine, and though there had been a severe frost overnight, the genial warmth of the sun had moistened the ground considerably prior to the opening of the proceedings, and rendered the course, though somewhat heavy, very fair going, everything con sidered. • The attendance did not approach by many hun dreds that of the autumn meeting, yet the gatekeepers must have taken no despicable amount during the day. There was plenty of accommodation on the stand for any number of visitors, which no doubt 'will be fully appreciated on Monday if the weather keep fine, with the various other improvements, which redound to the credit of the indefati gable committee. The racing began with the Open Hun ters' Stakes, for which Maurepas - and Lincoln started, and which the young duke's horse won anyhow, Lincoln, knocked completely out of time, falling a couple of fences from home. The Steeplechase Cup produced a field of four, and resulted in a rare turn up for the fielders. Cortolvin's chance, from his performance at the Grand National, was considered such a foregone conclusion that the odds of 5 to 2 were freely laid on him, but he was never in the hunt after going a mile. As he took his preliminary canter it must have been apparent to the merest tyro in lacing that it was not such a good thing after all; he galloped like a Hampstead-heath donkey, and looked little like the winner of the Liverpool event. Let it not be supposed for a mo ment, however, that Sir Bobby did not earn his laurels as gallantly as any little horse in the world could; he ran throughout like the bit of horseflesh he is, and jumped his fences like a cat. Considering that he is really no bigger than a sheep's head under a microscope, this is a wonder ful performance; but we still have our doubts whether it is not too good to be true. He led almost from end to end, and Tom Ablett had as much as he could de to pull at him. The most important contest of the day was the Grand National Hurdle Race, for which a dozen made their appearance. The Doctor, who was backed for lumps both at the post and all over London, kept in the front rank from start to finish, and eventually won cleverly by a length. Fortunatus looked particularly dangerous all through, but swerved all over the course at the finish in a most unaccountable manner. The other events need no comment, as they will be found fully de scribed below: — The Open Hunters' Stakes of 5 soya each, with 30 added, for horses that have been regularly hunted; 12st each; winners of 40 sovs to carry 71b extra ; gentlemen riders; professionals and others not qualified to ride under the Grand National Rules as gentlemen riders 71b extra; about three miles ; 10 subs. , Duke of Hamilton's MaurepAs, aged, 12st 71b (in 71b ex) (Mr. Crawshaw) 1 Capt. G. Johnstone's Lincoln, aged, 12st 71b (in 71b ex) (Mr. Hobson) 0 Betting opened at 6 td 5, but closed at evens, on Lincoln. Maurepas made the running, with a clear lear lead of his opponent for about a mile, when Lincoln headed the duke's horse, but he only sustained the advantage for a few strides, as Alauropaa, improving the pace, again Agnmocl tho load, and Lincoln falling heavily at the fence about half a mile from home Maurepas came in alone. Neither Mr. Hobson nor the horse sustained any injury. The Croydon Steeplechase Cup, value 100 sovs,. by sub scription of 10 sovs each, 5 ft, with 50 sovs added; four year olds lOst 71b, five list 101 b, six and upwards 12st 51b ; winners of a steeplechase value 100 sovs in 1866 or 1867 41b, of 300 at any one time in either of those years 71b extra; maidens allowed in the following proportions four year olds 31b, five 71b, six and aged 121 b ; horses of six years old and upwards, not being maidens, but which have started twice and not won 50 sovs since Nov. 1865, allowed 41b ; the second to save .his stake ; about three miles; 17 subs.

Sir Bobby at a strong pace cut out the work, folloWed by King Pippin, Cortolvin bringing up the rear, until entering the straight for the water jump, when Cortolvin drew up to the flanks of King Pippin, and the pair cleared the jurnp"amost abreast with Sir Bobby. Be fore reaching the next fence Cortclvin headed the little 'un, but on rounding the turn Page pulled the favourite back into third place, and Sir Bobby jumped into the meadow with an advantage of at least three lengths of King Pippin, a couple of lengths in whose rear was the favourite —Stockings being fully that distance behind the Grand National winner. When about a mile and a quarter of the journey had been traversed, Cortolvin again dropped into the rear, and on asccending the hill coming towards the stand, King Pippin being exhausted, pulled up, Cortolvin going on in pursuit of Stockings, who was a considerable distance behind Sir Bobby, the latter improving the pace as they came up the straight. On landing the jump Cor tolvinblundered, and but for the strenuous efforts of Page he would have come down. After landing the fence into the turnir field he passed Stockings, but it was then evi dent, so well did Sir Bobby act through the dirt, that the favourite had no chance of catching Mr. Dolly's horse, who held a lead of at least 150 yards, and pursuing his way with indomitable gameness, came in alone ; Cortolvin, who was: eased when pursuit was found to be hopeless, walking, in second, and saving his stake. Stockings 'also walked lb' some time afterwards. A. Selling Steeplechase Stakes of 3 sovs each, with 20 added; four year olds lOst 71b, five list 71b, six and aged 12st ; the winner to be sold after the race for 50 sovs ; if entered for 30 soya allowed 71b ; about two miles.

With tho exception of being headed for a few strides by Monitor, St. Maximum made the whole of the running, and won easily by 10 lengths, a similar distance separating second and third. The winner was bought 'in for 100 guineas. The Grand National Hurdle Race (Handicap) of 15 sovs each, 10 ft, and 3 only (to the fund) if declared by Tues day, March 12, with 200 added ; the second to receive 30 sovs out of the stakes; winners of a hurdle race after March 8 (at ten a.m.) 71b extra; about two miles and a quarter, over ten hurdles.

Mother of Pearl was first away, and cut out the work with a clear lead of The Doctor and Ha.velockforabout2oo yards, when she gave way, going on absolutely last. Approaching the hurdles, Pearl Diver and Doctor were in front, side by side, but Mr. Brayley's horse was first over, Havelock lying third, Balham fourth, Accidentand Sea King next, slightly in advance of Fortunatus, who headed Nuneaton and Risk, Maher of Pearl being thus early beaten off. Going along the far side, Sea King joined his stable companion, and went into the dip with The Doctor at his flanks ; but on again reaching the hurdles The Doctor took a clear lead of the pair, and Fortunatus, improving his position, went on in advance of Nuneaton, who had in close attendance Bal ham and Accident; Pirate, Claxton, Gamecock, and Risk, in a cluster bringing up the rear, Mother of Pearl having pulled up. Traversing- the back stretch Pirate quitted the rear division, Sea King at the same time dropping back. From this point the race was confined to the three placed, and when fairly in the straight The Doctor and Fortunatus quitted Pirate the former winning cleverly by a length; bad third Direr was fourth, NuneatOn-fiftb, .4.60 i - sixth, Balham seventh, Gamecock eighth, Havelock ninth, Sea King next, and Risk last. The Innkeepers' Steeplechase Plate of 50 soya ; for all ages; winners extra. About two miles and a half.

The favourite held the lead until going about a mile, when Old Ireland refused, and Mr. White not being able to induce the horse to take the fence he was walked back to the stand. Brandy Apple still held a considerable advantage of Clementi, who tired at the pace after clearing the water jump, and could not be got over, although several attempts were made with him. A quarter of a mile further on Brandy Apple threw his jockey and bolted, and, seeing this, Old Ireland went back to the fence where he had refused the first time round, and succeeded in getting over. Clementi, who had got back to the saddling enclosure, was also induced to try again, but he would not take the fence. In the meantime Brandy Apple was caught, and Forster got in the track again, having still about a mile loss than Old Ireland to travel. At the stand fence, which Clementi was endeavouring in vain to get over, he refused, and at the fourth attempt fell into the hedge, Clementi being for the secon 1 time walked back. Brandy Apple, completely exhausted, came in alone. Libertine, 3 yrs, by Newrninster out of Licence, is on sale by private contract under the late Lord Exeter's rules. The two-year-old colt by Lambton out of Lampada was claimed for Prince Soltykoff, after running at Chelmsford, on Wednesday. Mr. J. Wood purchased Dutch Admiral, the winner of the Springfield Selling Stakes, at Chelmsford, on Wednes day, for 165 guineas. Pocket Hercules, 2 yrs, who won the Belhus Selling Stakes at Chelmsford on Tuesday last, was sold after the race to Captain Machell for 100 guineas. Mr. Hodgman bought Northern Star, by Cape Flyaway out of Star of India, for 100 soya, after running in the Two Year Old Sweepstakes at Chelmsford, on Tuesday. Trifle, winner of the Hyde Plate for two-year-olds at Chelmsford, on Wednesday, was purchased after the race by J. Nightingall for 101 guineas.

ACTION IPOR DETAINING A RACE HORSE.—At the Chelms ford Assizes, on Wednesday, Mr. Cardinal brought an action against the Great Eastern Railway Company for not conveying .a mare from Sudbury to Chelmsford in time to run for a race, which was fixed for one o'clock, but the mare did not arrive till half-past three, having been detained at Marks Tey, where she was left in stead of being. forwarded. The jury found that there was no special contract, and gave a verdict for the do- fendants. ROYAL ARTILLERY STEEPLECHASES. —This an nual meeting will take place to-morrow.. The course selected is on and adjacent to the farm of Mr. Nicholls, Mottiugham-lane, near King John's Palace, at Eltham.

Tottenham, started hence this afternoon at two o'clock, and took a long sweat to Wallingford, a distance of 21 tulles, whore -they diawl„and,:tettuned tcalxfarti by train. The position of the meu remained unaltered on Monday last, but much dissatisfaction exists here as to the . merits of some of them, there being in the estimation of good judges one or two in the boat not up to their work ; in fact the odds have so much changed that instead of 6 to 4 being offered on the " Sons of the Isis," slight odds are asked for the other way. The Oxonians will leave Oxford in about a fortnight's time, and will have a good fortnight's practice on the Thames. The new boat built for Cambridge by Messrs. Salter has bean completed and forwarded to its destination, but the new Oxford boat is still on the stocks. The following are the names and weights of the Oxford crow. st. lb. 1. W. P.

Rodgers, of Exeter College, the winner of the Oxford and Cambridge single match last year, anal Mr. E. Watts-Russell, of Christ Church, his partner ; and Mr. W. E. Stokes, of the Cocoatree Billiard Club, St. James's, Lon don, a former Oxford champion, and Mr. R. D. Walker, of Southgate, was played at Oxford this afternoon, in the presence of a large number of 'University men. The old ones went off with the lead, and had a manifest advantage until Mr. Rodgers got in and made a splendid break of 45, and the game was shortly afterwards called 113 all. From this period it was hotly contested, each side leading alter nately until the last 100, when both of the young Oxonians made several fine breaks, and eventually won by 66 points amidst great applause. The winners will have the honour of representing Oxford in the approaching inter-University matches, which we understand will be played as usual at St. James's Hall, on the Friday and Saturday evenings of the boat-race week, Mr. Rodgers, the recent winner of the Oxford University cues, representing the "dark blue" in the single match.

The favourite song of "The Irish Emigrant" was given with much expression by Miss Berry se. Greening, s b and the effort was met with unbounded applau Lover'allad, "Barney O'Rea , " was sung by desire by Miss Berry Green ing, and captivated the audience. Indeed had poor Sam Lover been present he would have had a rich treat in hoaxing bis own composition so charmingly portrayed. The "Last rose of summer" was equally well given by the fair artiste. All tho other subjects put forth in the programme elicited (as they deserved) the warmest applause, including as it did many Irish and national melodies. A great number of the Irish Rifles were present in full-dress uniform, and presented a very martial appearance. The entertainment was well received throughout, the only interruption being that of genuine applause. Mr. Thomas Parry was elected on Saturday, without opposition, for the borough of Boston, in the place of Mr. Staniland, who has retired. As both Mr. Staniland and Mr. Parry are Liberals, no change in the position of parties is made by this election.

The half-1 early general meeting of this company was held in Glasgow on Wednesday ; Sir Andrew Orr presided. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMA3I, in moving the adoption of the report, said he regretted that owing to a decrease in the mineral traffic he had to meet theca with a re. duced dividend. It was the first time during the last five years he had had to do this, and Iwas glad to say that all the other classes or traffic showed a satisfactory increase. Referring to the proposed amalgamation of the Glasgow and South- Westeru with the 11lidlatel Ruilway Company, he stateU that the directors considered such a step tie cesiary, as from the close a'liance which had for so many years existed between.the London and North- Western and the Caledonion Companies, the Glas gow and South-Western could not, standing alone, expect to carry that amount of through traffic to whi ;h its position entitled it. The terms of the amalgaina;lon might be shortly stated thus : --The debentures and debenture stock and funded debt of each company would rank equally, having the secu rity of the whole of the amalgamated undertaking. The preference stocks of both companies would rank in order of their creation, and the preference and guaranteed stocks of the Glasgow and South- Western would have a very greatly improved secu rity, as they would then have priority over a free revenue, amounting to £1,500,000 per annum, in stead of £300,000 as at present. The ordinary stocks of each company would, at the date of amalgama, don, be mergei into one. Five of the directors of the Glasgow and South-Western Company would become by the act . directors of the amalgamated undertaking, and these five directors, with, perhaps, one or two others, would be Appointed a 'committee to manage the Scotch portion of the undertaking. Mr. W. KIDSTON said the company was so pros perous , under its present management, and was likely co be so injuriously affected in its beet inte rests by the proposed amalgamation which would hand the control of the railway over to an English company, that he wend move as an ainendmentthat the portion of the reportyhich referred to the pro-. posed dissolution of the company and its amalga mation with the Midland Company be rejected. Mr. BARBOUR seconded the amendment. Mr. JOIIN BURNS also moved as a.. amendment that the proposed amalgamation be not proceeded with unless the Glasgow and South-Western share holders could be secured by lien over their property or by a fixed minimum dividend. Mr. Wm. ROBERTSON seconded the amendment. On the amendment being put to the vote, that of Mr. Burns was lost by 90 to 65, and that of Mr. Kidstou by a large majority. The motion of the Chairman, declaring the approval of the report and a dividend at the rate of 61 per cent. per annum on th. 3 consolidated stock of the company, was then carried. GREAT NORTH OP SCOTLAND A special mE,cting of this company was held on Thursday at the London Tavern ; Mr. J. Duncan in the caair. The CHAIRMAN sa'd the object of the meeting was to submit a bill now before Parliament for the ap proval of shareholders in the company resident in London, to authorize the creation of a pre preference stuck, which would rank after the de bentures and before the existing preference shares and stocks of the Great North of Scotland Com pany. He believed that a pre-preference stock, , was not looked upon with much favour either here or in Scotland, but there was no alternative that he knew of to extricate the company from its embarrassments. The company had got iLto debt to the extent of £300,000 in respect of loans from bankers, and it had arisen from the difficulty of raising money under the Parliamentary powers granted to the company. Neither the shareholders nor the public would take up the shares, and to carry on the works they were bound to execute, the directors were obliged to borrow the requisite money from the banks. The share holders had been made acquainted with this state Item time to tiine, as the half-yearly statements of accounts showed the item of loans from bankers. They had lodged with the bankers collateral secu rities and transfers of stocks or shares. The interest on the loans from the bankers fluctuated with the current rate of interest, which had been sometimes very heavy. The directors thought that if they could create a pre-preference stock at a fixed rate of 41 per cent., it would be far better for the company than having to pay the fluctuating current rates that had been so onerous for several months past. The difference between the latter and the proposed fixed rate of interest would be an actual advantage to the preference shareholders, particularly to the 5 per cent., the A 4/ per cent., and the 84/ per cent.i,:e ference holders, as they would receive the benefit of any saving on the amount of interest now paid to the bankers. The money had been borrowed for the construction of works ; they had raised £105,000 for the Denburn junction line on the faith of the powers in that act, in which there was a clause by which receivers could be appointed not only on the Denburn junction line, but also on that of the*Great North of Scotland line, which would override the preference shares. When that act was passed they did not think it would have been so difficult to raise the capital. They hoped to make the 41 per cent. pre preference stock as marketable as the debentures, because it would rank next to them. By amalgamat ing the Banffshire Railway with their undertaking and taking over their debt of £45,000, the company would be released from an obligation to subscribe £75,000 for an authorised extension of that line 12 miles in length. There would be no loss on taking over the debt of £45,000, as the Banffshire line earned enough to pay the interest u p on it, a nd the w ith the Great Banffshire ordinary shares woul d rank had carried North of Scotland ordinary sha res. They over that line from Buckie all the way to London.

If they could pay off the loans from bankers by means of the p ro p osed measure, it would give them a fair start, and with better wea ther and increased traffic he trusted they would go on improving. He concluded by moving a formal resolution to the effect that the meeting, having heard the explanations of the chairman, recom mended that the amount of pre-preference stock be limited to £330,000, instead of £370,000, as men tioned in the bill now before Parliament. Mr. DAVIDSON had petitioned against the bill, and thought the bankers should be satisfied with a 4 per cent. pre-preference stock for the debt, instead of 41 per cent. pre-preference. On the motion of Mr. WATSON, seconded by Mr. JAMESON, it was recommended that the £330,000 of pre-preference stock should bear interest not ex ceeding 4 per cent. per annum, as the best means of relieving the company of its difficulties. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. DEATII OF Mg. w. J. FFENNELL. —The death is announced of Mr. William Joshua Ffennell, her Majesty's center inspector of fisheries.
