JAARKET AND COMMERCIAL T LLGEI!„, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general discount market there is no particu lar variation. The anticipation that the existing uncertainty would cause the withdrawal of some ar rivals of gold for the continent has been verified, but the sums taken are as yet comparatively so small that the movement exercises but little influence. At present the sole effect has been a fractional rise in the rates, bankers and bill brokers charging 2i on the best paper instead of 2 per cent. There was a withdrawal of £4,000 in American eagles from the Bank of England yesterday after noon. The biddings for bills on India took place to day at the Bank of England. The amounts allotted wvre—T o Calcutta, 13,70,009r5. (£137,000) ; to Madras, 20,000r5. (£2,000) ; and to Bombay, 8,00,000r5. (£80,000). The minimum price was fixed, as before, at ls. 111 d. on all the presidencies. Tenders on Bombay at ls. Hid. will receive about 89 per cent. ; those above that price on Bombay, and those on Calcutta and Madras at ls. ilkd. and UPwards, will receive in full. At a meeting held to-day of the London and South African Bank a dividend of Bs. per share, which with the payment made in November last will be 4 per cent. for the year, was agreed to. At a meeting of the creditors of the General Exchange Bank held yesterday the resolutions which were adopted at the shareholders' meeting on the 9th April last, in favour of a voluntary liquidation instead of the compulsory winding-up order already made, were submitted to the meeting and adopted, and a committee, consisting of Messrs. Hutchinson, Ironnionger, and Button, was appointed to act with the shareholders' committee in winding up the estate.

At half-past 12 o'clock to-day Mr. Win. Carter, the Surrey coroner, held al inquiry in the Ship Tavern, Fore -street, Lamb2th, r.2specting the sup posed murder of Thomas Charles Belcher, aged 11, who was found dead in a room with his throat cut, and it was stated that the child was killed by his mother, who afterwards cut her own throat. Upon waling inciniait. wt tho Wocatininatos noo pital this morning, it was stated in reply that the poor woman is unconscious, and that her life is in imminent danger. To-day her husband visited her, and when he spoke to her she recovered conscious ness for a short time, and asked him if he was going to work now, and told him to be sure to take care of the latch-key. She then relapsed into her former state. The Coroner said that the case was a serious one, and it having been alleged that the deceased had been killed by his mother, he could not take any evidence tendered by the father of the child, for a man could not give evidence against his own wife. He would investigate the case with great care, and he would hear every witness except the husband. He thought that the inquest that day was merely formal, for even if the accused recovered she was in custody in another district, and he did not think that she could possibly be brought up before the court. As the jury had already investigated two cases at great length, the coroner gave them leave to re tire for the purpose of taking refreshment. Upon the reassembling of the jury at one o'clock this afternoon, the first witness called was Anne Jacobs, who said that she was the wife of a bricklayer, living at No. 26, Royal-street, Lam beth. The deceased was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Belcher, who lived in lodgings at the same house. They lived in a back room upstairs. On Tuesday last, at half-past 5 o'clock, Mr. Belcher came down stairs to witness's room, and said, " My wife has cut her throat and the child's too." Wit ness told him to call some one in, and Mr. Callard, a neighbour, and witness went upstairs into Mrs. Belcher's room. She was lying on the bed in a very weak state, and her throat was cut. The baby was lying dead in the bed by her side. The child was dressed, and there was blood upon it. After some other evidence had been given, the jury returned a verdict of "'Wilful murder" against Elizabeth Belcher, and the warrant was made out accordingly. MARKETS.—This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

CHESTER RACES.-THE CUP DAY. It is a doubtful point whether more people could by any possibility be found on the Roodee on the Cup Day than have been accustomed to gather there on former years. If more could come they were there this afternoon—holiday makers of every class, and sportsmen not a few. The day was unusually fine. The Chester Cup has been clothed in mystery this year. "Does any one know anything about this Cup ?" said a book-maker in the ring this morning ; and the question might have been asked i i sober earnest. No one did know anything. The starting or non-shrting of the Marquis of Hastings's Lecturer was the question that absorbed all others. Announced at Newmarket last week as a doubtful runner, owing to Lord Hastings not having been enabled to back his horse at a fair price through the eager rush of the public to get on such a favourite as Lecturer, his pre sence in the handicap has almost paralysed speculation. Wo mentioned in our yesterday's remarks the marked silence of the ring in contrast to the Babel of sounds that usually arise from it on the eve of a great race. Last night at the Subscription-room s there was not much improve ment. The only horse backed for any money was Archi medes, and Mr. Steel laying Lord Hastings 4,000 to 2,000 against Lecturer " with a start" was the only transaction about the favourite. This afternoon, as the time drew on for the great race, the difficulties iu Lecturer's path appeared to be removed, for the tone of the market declared him to be a starter, and more than 100 to 30 could not be obtained. Moulsey, another of the doubtful division, and from the same cause that affected the favourite, was backed by his noble owner at the last moment, and immediately became second favourite at 5 to 1. Archimedes rather retrograded on Moulsey's advance, and the others remained pretty well in the position they have occupied for some time past. Twenty-one starters assembled in the paddock, all, of course, in first-rate condition, the palm for good looks being borne by Archimedes, Lucifer, and Weather Star. That Lord Stamford's handsome horse could win, provided he did not exhibit temper, few doubted, and, pulling Morris half out of the saddle, he lay in the front rank till within half a mile from home, when his jockey's ivhip was seen to be raised, and he gave way. The race, which was run at an indifferent pace throughout, was left from this point to the favourite, Beeswing, and Endsleigh, the latter looking the winner till at the distance she succumbed, and Mr. fleathcote's mare came in an easy winner by three lengths, with the much-dreaded Lecturer a moderate third. The Belgrave Stakes of 5 sous each, with 40 added; two year olds 7st, three 9st 21b; fillies and geldings allowed 31b; winners at any time (handicap excepted) once 51b, twice 101 b extra; maiden two year olds allowed 51b, three 101 b; the winner to ba sold for 100 soya, if for 50 allowed 71b; half a mile. 7 subs.

POLIOE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-SRTEET. THE DOUBLE CHARGE OF STABBING BY AN ITALIAN.— Pietro Stignani, an Italian, charged with stabbing, with a stiletto, two Italians, named Joseph and Sebastian Bor giovanni, was brought before Mr. D'Eyncourt on remand. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prosecution; Mr. Louis Lewis appeared for the prisoner; and Mr. Guerini, professor of the Italian language, attended to interpret. Mr. Edward Lewis said he attended to prosecute the prisoner on the charge of stabbing two Italians, named Borgiovanni, and one of them was still extremely ill, and he held in his hand a certificate signed by the house surgeon of the Middlesex Hospital, stating that he could not be at present removed. The other had been removed from the hospital to his lodgings, but was still unable to appear. Mr. L. Lewis said he had several witnesses in attend ance, who would give a different account of the matter to what had been stated. He did not object to a remand, but he had to apply that tho prisoner might be admitted to' bail. Mr. E. Lewis said he mast oppose the application for bail. The police would state that they had made inquiries at the hospital, and that the men were not out of danger. A constable stated that he had inquired at the hospital, and the surgeon stated that the man was going on well, but was not able to attend. Mr. D'Eyucourt said his feeling always was, that where a kuile was used, and the person was in the hospital, bail sbould not be taken. Mr. L. L.«•is said that his witnesses would show that the prisoner had been ill-used by several persons. Mr. E. Lewis said that was not the ease. I.Y . lltuc.ourt remanded the prisoner, and said the application for bail could be renewed.. . THAMES. A MARINE SWINDLES.—CharIes Doran, a well-dressed and portly seaman, aged 22, who appeared to have lived well, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with obtain ing money and food from Mr. John Cooke, a licensed victualler, by means of false and fraudulent pretences. The prosecutor was formerly au engineer in the Mer cantile Marine, and is now, and has been for some time, the landlord of the Three Mariners' public-house, in Wap ping Wall. At the latter end of January last the prisoner, whom he had known for seven years previously, waited upon him, and said he had Just come home in the Rover's Bride, in which he had served as second mate on a voyage from London to China and back, and that he wanted board and lodging for himself and four men. The pri soner also assured his friend that he had a large amount of wages to receive, that he would make it worth his while to board and lodge him and his shipmates, and that every thing would be paid for liberally. Mr. Cooke said he had no objection to receive the party if they would behave respectably. The prisoner said, " You know what London is. I shall pay a little extra because I want to live well, and be treated as one of the family." The prosecutor, at the request of the prisoner, then advanced him 55., and on the following day another sum of similar amount, and various other small sums, amounting altogether to XI. On the first day the prisoner had tea at the Three Mariners ; on the next day he fared sumptuously there, and indulged in plenty of grog, and Mr. Cooke introduced him to Mr. Elkan Teller, a respectable outfitter of No. 63, Upper East Smithfield, who fitted him out with a new suit of clothes and other things to the amount of £5, and for payment of which Mr. Cooke made himself responsible. Saturday arrived, and the prisoner said the crew of the Rover's Bride were to be paid off that day at Green's Sailors' Home. The prisoner disappeared that day after contracting a heavy bill at the Three Mariners, and he was no wore seen until last night, when he was given into custody in the City for a robbery he had committed there. A person gave the prisoner a half sov e r e i gn , a go ld r i ng, and other things to give to a lady. The prisoner spent the money, an d appropriated the g o ld r i ng an d other property to hi s ow n use. The City police could not 'detain the prisoner, because he received the money and property from a man who was not his master on a promise to carry them to a lady, and then appropriated them to his own use. Mr. Cooke said he had made inquiries about the Rover's Bride in the East India Duck, where the pt isoner said she was lying, and that no Rover's Bride was paid off at Green's Sailors' Home in January or February. The prisoner was a regular swindler, and had defrauded persons at Hull by obtaining money on fictitious advance notes. Mr. Paget asked Mr. Cooke if the prisoner told him who the owners of the Bride were, and where he lived. Mr. Cooke—No, be did not. Mr. Paget asked a metropolitan police-constable, who had charge of the case, if there was any person in attend ance from Green's Sailors' Home and from the East India Dock to prove the falsehoods of the prisoner's assertions that the Rover's Bride was paid off at the first-named place, and was moored in the other, and the officer answered both questions in the negative. Mr. Paget said that, owing to the want of the necessary evidence, he should not be justified in detaining the prisoner. In another investigation, Mr. Paget censured a London dock constable for allowing a prisoner to be rescued from him; but the prisoner was subsequently recaptured. Mr. Paget said it was the third time he had occasion to censure dock constables in the course of a fortnight. sit is to be regretted that the learned magistrate does not reserve some of his censures for the metropolitan police, whose conduct as in the case of Duran often leads to a failure of justice. ADDRESS TO MR. GLADSTONE.—The COUrse adopted by Mr. James Brown, M.P., and the lion. C. W. Fitzwilliaiu, M.P., with reference to the reforth question, has met with the grave disapproval of the liberal party in Malton. This is particularly the case as regards Mr. Fitz william, who, as an Adullamite and a supporter of Lord Derby, has given great umbrage to his constituents. The result has been that an address of confidence, very nume rously sigued, was forwarded to Mr. Gladstone by Tues day's post —Leeds Mercury. THE CATTLE PLAGUE.—No attacks of cattle plague were reported to the Privy Council Office from any part of Great Britain during the week ending April 27. The total nuniber of cattle reported to have been attacked in Great Britain since the commencement is 253,902, and 52,703 animals have, iu the aggregate, been slaughtered healthy to prevent the spread of the disease. TILE BRIGHT AND BEALES JUNCTION.—A political line, supposed to have been abandoned by its promoters last summer, has been suggested as eligible for affording the shortest cut to Reform, by Mr. Bright at Birmingham. This line, of which the honourable gentleman appears to be .one of the principal directors, is the Hyde Tark Rail way.—Punch. /0 st st 100 _ at too 1 1011 i 7} O Il i ; ri t L i v O u ANIAL Columbia, 6 per Vl:CitN Uhl NT SEC E ' cent., Dec.3l, 1872 100 - Can.Gov.6 p.c.Ja.ttJuly 1877-81 n ta. .

Plaudit was early at exercise this morning, and, the ground being in capital order, Bob Chambers took him a couple of miles, the pair being followed by Rose and' Violet. A lot of horses having left for Chester, Scotland, and elsewhere, our trainers are absent and little is doing. (The following appeared in our lateedition of yesterday.) NEWMARKET. The Rake was galloping with Van Amburgh and Verulam this morning, Musician taking the three a beautiful mile and a half over the Lime Kilns ; where also the Hermit did his work, doing a mile and a half gallop respectably. Sealskin took D'Estournel a mile and three quarters. Auguste led Dragon and Trocadero about the same dis tance, and the French trio went uncommonly well. Plutus is lame. Target is leading the Hermit now. Cerf Volante galloped with Cauth leen. The Beadle took Opoponax nearly a couple of miles. RICHMOND. Plaudit cantered thrice this morning, and then galloped about a mile and a quarter, but he went very slowly. He was not near so lame on his re turn from Newmarket as was expected. Fat Bob, however, is dead amiss. Our trainers are at Chester, therefore very little is doing here this week. MIDDLE HAM. Minster Bell galloped a mile and three-quarters, as did The Corporal and The Priest. Mandrake, Child of the Islands, and Louis of Hesse cantered three times, and then went a mile and a half gal lop. Fitzroy is doing first-rate for York, as also are Bracken, Policy, Castanet, and Rabbit Trap. MALTON. Knight of St. Michael led Wild Wind, Grand Cross, and Soulongue a mile and a half fast ; and Grand Cross pulled hard all the way. War led Vernon nearly two miles ; and Xlarinska galloped a like distance by herself. Skylark had a mile and three quarters' gallop. STOCKBRIDGR Vauban cantered thrice, and then, trotted about This was all he did. In fact, he has not had a goot gallop since he returned home from headquarters. Ines was an absentee. ILSLEY. Lord Lyon took Achiervinent a - mile and three quarters steadily to-day. Gardeviiitre , led the` two year olds. All look well. Dunsany and the General galloped a mile and a quarter slowly. LAMBOURNE, Marksman has 'been in physic since the Two Thousand day, therefore has not done much this week. This morning he had three mile canters, and, after trotting and walking about for a time, went in. RES FOR 1867.

This bill was read a third time and passed. RAILWAY GUARDS AND PASSENGERS COMMU NE. , BER. NICATION BILL. Mr. SHERIDAN moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which is to make railway companies provide a means of communication between passeugers and guarda in charge of railway trains. The kind of c,omtuunication was left for the decision of the railway company, but the niard of Trade would have to set• whether the means pro ridod were sufli,:ient. 11, had heard the objection—ties there any necessity for such a'cunJmuuteatiou which would place it iu the power of any timid lady to stop the train ? Ms answer was that the train would not necessarily be stopped, for the coannutticatioa w is with the `u•trd, not the diver. As to the point of necessity, the member referred b several accAents caused by wheels breaking down, or carriages taking tire by fri:tion, and stated that if a commuuieAtiou with the guard were provided, the dan ger in such cases would be greatly lessened. Mr. CAVE said he would offer no objection to the bill at the present stage, but he considered it would bo unadvis able that it should p►ss in its present state. No efficient scheme had been decided on, experiments were being made, and if an imperfect plan was rendered compulsory a great evil would be done. At the same time outrages had occurred which justified the adoption of such a com munication. There were two ways by which a com munication might be obtained. One way was by signals and the other by an alteration in the construction. of the carriages. With regard to the American car riages they were too wide for our gauge and too long for our curves. Perhaps one of the best systems was signa.l ing by electric telegraph, but the cost was very great— namely, £lO per mile of railway and 10 per cent. upon the outlay for maintenance. The report of the Royal Com mission on Railways would shortly be issued, and if the kon. member found his bill to be consistent with that re port, he did not see why it should not pass through the other stages; but he (Mr. Cave) reserved his opinion till the report was issued. The bill was then read a second time. -• TURNPIKE TRUSTS BILL. On the motion for the . second reading of this bill, Mr. WALPOLE suggested that this bill should be re ferred to a select committee. If this were agreed to, he would offer no opposition to the second reading. Referring to part four of the bill, which was an attempt to remedy what had always been a difficulty in endeavouring to abolish tolls, namely, to extend the area of rating, he thought some rules shOuld have been laid down for the guidance of the justices. Mr. WHALLEY stated that ho would agree to the sug— gestion of the Home Secretary. Mr. KNIGHT protested against the whole charge fo r cleariag off debts being put upon the parishes which the roads passed through, and thought a part, if not the whole, should be defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund. Lord HENLEY adverted to the injustice which would be done by the bill to parishes which were not in highw a y districts, but which had a turnpike road going through. them. Mr. HENLEY said there could be no doubt that the turnpike routs were better kept than the parish roads. In its present shape the bill was very objectionable, but he very much doubted whether any general measure could be produced that would deal with this complicated question, where the interests were so diverse, without doing gross injustice to some parties. Mr. GOLDNEY supported the bill. Mr. BEACH thought if tolls were abolished, the debts should b 3 charged on the Consolidated Fund. No doubt inconvenience was caused by the present system, but still there was the broad principle that those who used the roads paid for them. Within the last 30 years the debt, had been reduced from seven to four million*, and-there. fore they might reasonably entertain the hope that a fur ther reduction would take place. He objected to the abrupt change which would be caused by the bill. Mr. CLIVE said the question shoula be left to the select committee. Sir M. BEACH thought a general rate should be levied for the maintenance of roads throughout the country, but how that could be best done he could not say. He objected to the way in which the lion. member proposed to deal with the debt. The proposal was that certain trusts were to pay off their debts, and ceasi, to exist in 1868, while the remainder should do so in 10 years. The practical result would be that the public would be driven to those roads on which the tolls were abolished. After some observations from Colonel French, Lord G. Cavendish, and Mr. Knatchbull-liagessen, the bill was read a second time, and referred to a select com- mi t tee. PUBLIC HOUSES, &c., REGULATION BILL. Mr. GRAVES, in ris►ng to move that the order for the second reading of this bill be discharged, stated the reason which had induced him to adopt this course. Within the past fe►v days au intimation had been made to him that the Government would oppose the bill, as it interfered with a large portion of the t revenue. Under these circumstances, the promoters of the bill felt they had no other - course but to wirtideaw it. T r rieidiqs no 'doubt that some change of the law was necessary, but the experience he had gained showed Lim that iu -any measure dealing with so large a portion of the revenue of the country ought not to be taken up and dealt with by a private member, but by the Government, and he was glad to be able to state that the Home Secretary had adopted that view, for he had given him an assurance that ho would prepare a bill on the sub ject next year.. Mr. J. A. SMITH thought the hon. member (Mr. Graves) having received such au assurance from the Go vernment had adopted the proper course. Mr. W . . FOSTER, expressed his satisfaction that the Government was to deal with the subject, but thought they should have a statement to that effect from the Treasury bench. Mr. S. CAVE said that Mr. Walpole had been obliged to leave the house, but he had authorised him (Mr. (lave) to state that the Government would introduce a bill. Mr. HADFIELD and Mr. lionsvALL made a few remarks, and the bill was then withdrawn. PROMISSORY NOTES (IRELAND) BILL: Mr. M'KENNA moved the second reading of this bill, which, he said, would effect a great and substantial im provement in the law. What he proposed was, that any bank should be able to issue notes in any part of Ireland, payable at its head office or depots, provided that bank was under the Bth and 9th Victoria, chap 59, issuing notes against specie. There ware 150 to 200 places in Ireland where, under the Scotch system, banks might exist. The present law, he assorted, acted as a premium to Irish bankers to lend their money out of Ireland, from the amount of gold which they had to keep in hand as a counterpoise. Besides that they had to pay a circulation duty. This however was not a bankers' ques tion, but was brought forward in the interest of the Irish people generally. The issue of bank notes was at present contined to six banks, but he wished that greater facilities should be given for banking transactions. Colonel FRENCllopposed the bill asit would materially diminish the security of the public, and moved that it be read a second time that day months. He saw no reason why they should alter the law of England. Mr. F'uLLARD-UINULIART hoped the bill would meet with a favourable reception. Mr. GOSMIEN objected to the bill, which he said would grant a monopoly to the banks of issue, but would be of no practical use to the public. A question like this, which dealt with the currency laws, ought to be dealt with by the G.lvernment, and not by private members. After some discussion, /dr. S. CAVE said the •hon. member for Youg - hal (Mr. Al'lcenua) stated that this bill assimilated the law with that of Scotland, but he (Mr. Cave) thought they should deal with the question ou its merits. The hon. member wished that notes might be issued at branches, but pay able only at the depots at'which gold was deposited. This proposal would give the holder of notes in the town a great advantage over the holder of notes in the country in the case of a run, because the former could immediat el y go to the bank at which the ,gold was deposited and cash his notes. The currency laws ought not to be tampered with by private members, es pecially when was to lessen the capital of the bank. The ques tion should only be dealt with by a compr ehensive measure, and there the tendency fore he thought the house ought to hesitate before adopting this bill.
