MONEY MARKET' AND COBIMEROIAL INTELLIGENOR, CITY, Two o'CLocl. The weekly return of the Bank of England shows an increase in its resources, and a considerable acces sion of strength in bullion and reserve, though the outside demand for money has reduced the amount of its private deposits. Tho addition to the bullion is explained by the abatement in the continental demand, and the additions to the reserve mainly by the in crease in the public deposits. The circulation has diminished a little, but it is still high, so that the public are still holding large supplies of money within their immediate control, and consequently they have been Able to redeem a further amount of securities. The amount of private securities now held by the Lank is only a fraction over .016,200,000. The following are the principal changes since the preceding return : Decrease in Circulation Increase in Publio Deposits Decrease in other Deposits Decrease in Government Securities 200.000 Decrease in other Securities . 59.841 Increase in Bullion Decrease in Rest 19,807 Increase in Poserve Bullion in both Departments .....21,349,789 Reserve of Notes and Coin 13,231,939 Circulation, k.nluding Bank Post Bille 23,666,244 The return of paid clearing, for the week ending IVednesday, Feb. 2G, as certified by Mr. J. C. Pocock, deputy-inspector, is as follows :-- Feb. 20, Thursday £7,779,000 Feb. 21, Friday Feb. 22, Saturday Feb. 24, Monday 8,736,000 Feb. 25, Tuesday 10,916,000 Feb. 26, Wednesday ...... Total £54,046,000 This return is not affected by any settlements on the Stock Exchange or by any special bill day in foreign trade. It, therefore, represents an average clearing in the inland trade exclusively ; and in this respect the aggregate shows no material variations from the preceding weeks in the current year when Aimilar conditions occurred. The shipments of Australian gold during the month of January from Melbourne amounted to £93,000, making the total uow known to be at sea for this country £195,000. The money market is more active in all directions. The dividends in the course of payment have had the effect of limiting the supply, and the rate for the best bills is 1 per cent. In the Stock Exchange money is in demand, partly owing to a payment of 70 per cent. falling due to-morrow on the Russian Railway Loan, find advances on Consols are charged 1i per cent. The failure is reported this morning of two Stock Exchange operators, who had large speculative ac counts open in railways. Corn is quiet, at previous rates. Consols are quiet at 921- to 93 for money and account ; New and Reduced Three per Cents., 93i to 93 ; India Five per Cents., 112 to 112 r ; Bank Stock, 249 to 251 ; Exchequer sills, lls to 15s prem.

The New Honduras Loan is steady at 1 to 14 prem. In American Securities, United States 5-20 Bonds are lower, at 71# to 71#. Erie Railroad is -5 better, at 44 to 45. Illinois steady at 87-5 to 885. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have risen f, to 26 to 24, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds, *, to 255 to 26. English Railways are steady at last night's prices. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1251 to 1264 ex. div. ; Midland, 1051 to 106* ex. div. ; South Eastern, 72 to 72k ex. div. ; London and North Western, 116 to 1 165 ex . div. ; Great Northern A, 104 to 1045 ex div. ; Sheffield, 414 to 411 ; Brighton, 46 to 465 ; Great EaStern, 291 to 304 ; Great Western, 455 to 46 ; Caledonian, 835 to 845 ; Metropolitan, 110 to 110 ex div. ; and Chatham, IE4 to 19. In foreign. railways the only change is an advance of 4 in Lombardo-Venetian, which are quoted at 151 to 15#. The dealings in Bank Shares are merely nominal, and not a single variation has taken place in prices : - -Agra (A Shares) 105 to 11 ; Alliance, 135 to 125 dis• ; Consolidated, # to # prem. ex div. ; 165 to 175 ; Imperial Ottoman, # to 5 dis. ; London and Westminster, 675 to 68)s ; Oriental, 42 to 43 ; London Joint Stock, 33 to 34 ; Union of London, .33i to 34. Iu Fitlalice Shares there is nothing doing. General Credit, 27 ; to 3i ; International Finance, 21 to 11 dig.; London Finance, 24 to 23 dis. ; National .Dis count, 10. f to 11*. Miscellaneous Securities meet with little attention, and prices are without movement. Anglo-American Telegraph, 191 to 19A- ex div. ; Atlantic Telegraph, 8 per cent., 51 to 5 ; Hudson's Bay, 14i to 141 ; London General Omnibus, 1 to 2. The traffic receipts of the Great Central of Belgium Railway for the week ending the 28th ult, amounted to £9,067 9s 2d, comparing with £7,434 8s 9d in the corresponding period of last year. The mileage has, however, increased from 285 to 343 miles. Eleven thousand sovereigns were yesterday with drawn from the Bank for export to Alexandria. The suspension was announced yesterday of Messrs. Murcott, Wright, and Co. of Lanesfield Ironwork s , Sp ri n g V a l e , near Wolverhampton. The establishment consists of forty furnaces and six The liabilities are estimated at £27,000, and the assets at £ll,OOO. The firm did a large trade with Liverpool. Creditors representing £B,OOO recommend that the estate should . be wound up with all reasonable despatch, and the proceeds divided Its realised by inspectors to be appointed. This course is recommended because in the assets was included a variety of items amounting to a con siderable sum which, in the event of bankruptcy or a nassignment to trustees, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to secure for the creditors." The sus pension is attributed to losses by breakages of nutchine r y, th e wor k s b e i ng o ld, an d 'to bad debts. Some £B,OOO or £lO,OOO has gone in repairs, and the bad debts are about £5,000. The ordinary general meeting of lleuter's Telegram C ompany has been convened for the 18th March, to receive the director's report and to declare a dividend. A special general meeting of the shareholders of the Atlantic Telegraph Company has been called for the Kith March, for the purpose of increasing the capital of the company by a sum of £1,300,000, and to attach to such new capital a preferential dividend of 10 per cent. per annum, and in adt7itiou thereto parti cipation in the surplus profits. At the meeting yesterday of the Prince of Wales Mine a dividend of is per share was declared. It is reported again that a new emission of bonds and obligations is contemplated by the directors of the Lombardo-Venetian Railway to the extent of 100,0(10,000 francs, or £4,000,000 sterling. Madrid telegrams, dated yesterday, the 26th inst., state that the new Minister of Finance, M. Sanchez Ocana, is preparing a bill for the establishment of a Land or foncier bank. It is now stated that M. rr 6 lny 'will be at the head of this proposed institution ; and documents have been published to show that its establishment is of the first necessity to the interests of Spain. Even u pon properties yielding large revenues and without incumbrances it is hardly possible for the Proprietors to obtain loans except upon onerous and usurious conditions. From ten to twenty per cent. are often paid for short loans by needy landowners, Yet notwithstanding these hard terms the landed mortgage debt, which in Sp a i n i s a l ways reg i stere d , , v ery great. An official retur n m a d e up. to t h e end a sterling, 1865 states the aggregate at £60,000,000 and it has been since very considerably inc reased. The high r a t e o f i n t eres t ar i s i ng f rom t h e i ar eity of capit a l c o m p e l s p ropr i e t ors t o b orrow f or s a °rt periods only. It is held, therefore, that loans ead over lon g er p er i o d s th an th ree or f our years Would not only yield good returns, but would tend t o tno..crease the value of the l an d an d i mprove i ts cultiva n • Hence the ministerial support accorded to this r v e r °.iect of a Land Bank, and there seems to be no a scn to doubt that it will soon be established.

It will be remembered that this is a suit instituted to test the validity of the will of a Mr. Moore, a solicitor in Lincolnshire. The facts of the case were, that the testator had one daughter who had married against his wish a Mr. Cowauce, from whom she separated in eleven months, and subsequently eloped with a Colonel Lowe. A divorce was obtained, and she married Colonel Lowe. The testator stated that he would not leave her anything, and made a will, now in dispute, by which his property is left to his wife's sisters, the plaintiffs. The case was not concluded when we went to press. THE HUSH FENIAN TRIALS. DUBLIN, Thursday Night. The Commission at Sligo was opened to-day by Judges Fitzgerald and Keogh. A strong force of constabulary, two companies of the 72d High landers, and a troop of Dragoons are in town. There is no popular excitement. MARKETS—(I his Day.) CORN. The general tendencies of the market are not materially changed. Arrivals of English grain are light, and of foreign znodartte. In the provinces the trade is steady, Birmingham alone showing any depression in prices. From the Continental markets the reports show con tinued steadiness in price. At Mark-lane there was a fair attendance, with a quiet market generally. The small supply of English wheat realised Monday's rates. Foreign wheat was also held for late terms, but the sales were quite of retail extent. • Flour is steady in value, but only in limited demand. Barley rather more inquired for on stands. Two or three floating c:agoes have sold at 34s 6d to 35s 6d, f. and c. for Danubian. Beans and peas unaltered. Maize hangs on hand. Oats in limited supply, and held for full prices, but with a slow sale. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. SUGAIL—The market is steady, with a moderate in quiry.

THE DISPUTED RACE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH-THIS DAT. SADLER V. SMITH. The case was resumed this morning. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Brickwood ap peared for the plaintiff ; and Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Garth for the defendant. The first witness called was Mr. Willing, the president of the University Boat Club. Having stated the state of the water and the position of the men at starting, the witness went on to say in the ordinary course of things, Sadler in going towards the aqueduct, in his opinion, was doing everything to effect a start. Lord Chief Justice—Did Kelley go so near the other man as to challenge him for a start? Witness--Certainly not. Lord Chief Justice—l don't mean by words; but did he ever go so near him as to give him au inti uaation that he was going to start ? Witness—No, my lord; he never went within fifty yards of him. 1 was iu the boat at Mortlake after Kelley had rowed over the course ; but I heard nothing about any inquiry being made about the manner in which the match had been rowed. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l did not see the umpires when Kelley made a communi cation to them, but they were not in the same part of the boat that I was. Sadler was not bound to remain near the cutter at starting. I don't know what Kelley did when he made a communication to the umpires. He did not row round the cutters, to the best of my recollection. The river was not quite clear at the time of starting, but there was nothing to prevent my seeing both Kelley and Sadler at the time. I don't know the practice of betting, as I do not bet on boat races myself. Lord Chief Justice—What was the exact pozi tion of both men when the alleged start took place ? Witness—About 50 yards ahead. Lord Chief Justice—That would have made a difference with respect to the race ? Witness-, Yes, considerably. Lord Chief Justice—Was the water at this time in such a state that Sadler ought to have started when Kelley invited' him to do so. Witness— Certainly not. I should not have started myself under such circumstanca. Mr. Herbert Playford—l have rowed in a con siderable number of boat races, and was one of the amateur champions of the river. I was captain of the London Rowing Club, and have seen all the races for the championship for the last twenty • years. Mr. Brickwood—Now, speaking of your know ledge, h ow do watermen start for a match when no starter is appointed. Witness —Always by trying to get an advan tage over their opponent. (Loud laughter.) Lord Chief Justice.—That is not the question. Waen no starter is appointed do they start them selves? V% i they do, my lord. 1 sa w the m e n onbot tlie ht s h s—Ye e 27th and 28th of November. Sadler made two attempts to start, but I did not see Kelley do so once. When. Sadler attempted to start the river . was unusually clear. I saw Kelley row up the river, as I thought to warm himself. Ho then stopped and went to the ump ire's boat, and then rowed up the river. .At this time he was 150 yards in advance of Sadler. Kelley never gave Sadler time to come up to him before he started. It is not usual for men to row in jerseys. By Mr. Garth, Q.C.—lt is not, however, usual for them to do so. Lord Chief Justice—What is the usual mode of starting ? Is the putting out the hands a challenge to start ? Witness—Yes, my lord. The o th er man wou ld understand that movement to be an invitation to start. When both men did that, Sadler took a stroke up, which Kelley did not. James Messenger—l am barge builder to the Queen, and have held the championship of the Thames. I have also acted as umpire and referee for Kelley on former occasions, but on the one in question I acted as umpire for Sadler. Watermen's races are always started by themselves. On the 28th I was on board the um pire's boat. It drifted up nearly half a mile from the starting point, so that they could hardly notice how the men were. I saw Sadler attempt to start once when the course was clear, but Kelley at this time did not attempt to move, although I could see nothing to have prevented him doing so had he felt so disposed. About half an hour afterwards the steamers began to back, and then Kelley went to the umpire's boat. Bush said, "Kel ley, what's the matter with you ? " He said, "I can't get Sadler to start. Bush said "Then you go over the course without him." Mr. Biffin said " K e lley, if Sadler won't start, you start without him, but be sure and tell him." I said, Mr. Biffin, you have no right to tell Kelley to start without his telling the other man. Mr. Biffin said I am referee, and I shall carry out my intention. I protested for Sadler, but Biffin seemed to have made up his mind. I don't think the referee could have seen what the men had been doing before he gave the direction to start. I was standing along side the referee; I tried to see what they were doing but could not. After these direction from Mr. Biffin, Kelley rowed down the river, and I saw his boat come back. Neither I nor the referee had any means of seeing whether Kelley ever told Sadler to start. When Kelly started the water was lumpy, and the steamers were all higgledy-piggledy, and the river was then not in a fair state for men to row in. I never heard t h at Mr. Biffin made any inquiries whether Kelley h a d g i ven t h e message t o S a dl er . I protested at given to Kelly, at which place M r. Biffin accorded them to him. Mortlake against the stakes being Before Kelley started to row over the course I suggested to Mr. Biffin to get into a boat and go an d te ll S a dl er th a t he said he could not do so. I h ave known men t o row in jersey s , but I have never rowed for the championship in one. The cold would interfere with a man if he was weak in the chest. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l firmly believe that Sadler intenled to row on the occasion. He never said a word about going to a doctor. I never heard Foster say a word about his not rowing. Lord Chief Justice—ln starting for watermens' wagers, is it necessary for both men to be alongside each other ? Witness—Yes, my lord ; certainly. George Ilanunerton--one of her Majesty's water men, said, I was Sadler's "coach".__ laughter)—on the occasion of the match. He was in good condition, to row on both days. I could see everything that took place at the starting plac e . S a dl er a tt emp t e d to start by taking a strok e , b ut K e ll ey rema i ne d stationary. fie never put the sculls into the water to make a stroke. Kelley could have started at that time had he liked to have lost grou n d. On the second attem pt to start Sadl er acte d as on t h e fi rst The y a s t i e d r e of th e wa t er , on w hi c h s id e occasion. son. on was quite _smooth. (Sadler nthe the steamboats were lying. It was not until the water had become rough by movement of the tteamers that Kelley wished to start. At that time Sadler, from his position, would get all the " wash," and I heard Sadler tell Kelley it was fit to start, as they were to have the steamers be hind them. Sadler proposed to have another start, but Kelley rowed away to the umpire's boat. Sad ler complained to me that he felt chilly at being kept waiting so long, and I advised him to put his jersey on. He could have rowed very well iu it, and I intended him to do so. There was no other reason but to prevent obill in his putting it on. Druitt was Kelley's " coach." I heard Kelley tell Druitt to keep the cutter back, as he was going to row over. Sadler during this time was within the starting limit ; but Kelley was at this period 200 yards higher up the river than his opponent. Sadler, from his position, could nut have known what Kelley was going to do. Kelley was above the pier when he started, and was actually going up the river when he spoke to Pruitt. I am sure no communication was made to Sadler before Kelley started, Sadler came up to me to know what was the matter. Sadler. could not at this time rowed. after Kelley, as the Fleamers had gone up, and Sadler's boat would Y.ave been swamped had he done so. When our boat rowed to Mortlake we heard the staket. had been awarded to Kelley. Cross-examined by Serjeant Bal ue—l never heard Kelley called out to Sadler about his hum bugging him, and that if he started thou lie would foul him (Kelley) in ten yards. I think the word humbugging was used, but I don't know the mean ing of it. (Laughter.) I will be on any oath that Kelley was not within 30 yards of Smiler when he started, or that he ever called out to hint that he was going then to row the match. Ra-examined by Mr. Hawkins—Supposing the men had started when they were close together, and Sadler had fouled Kelley, that would have given Kelley the race. The Lord Chief Justice—Who fouled on the first day ? Sergeant Ballantinc—Oh, my lord, that was an accidental one, and the race was in consequence ordered to be rowed again. William Itednap, one of the crew of Sadler's cutter, said he had heard llaminerton's evidence, and he agreed with it entirely. RJ bert llillyer , another of the crew of the same boat, agreed in opinion with the last witness. Sergeant Ballantiue said he should not cross examine the witnesses on the point whether any communication was made to Sadler before starting, as he should call a number of witnesses to speak to that point. Mr. Hawkins said he would not call further evi dence to prove the practice of starting watermen's matches if it was taken by the other side that the men started themselves. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said there would be no objection to that. Mr. Cox, captain of the Twickenham Racing Club, said he was present at the match. He saw Sadler attempt to start well, but there was no dis position on the part of Kelley to start at all. If any intimation had been given to Sadler to start be mutt have seen or heard it. The case is not expected to conclude to-day. The following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday evening:— This was an action to recover the value of the stakes of a sculling match, which it was arranged should be rowed for by the two celebrated scullers, Kelley and Sadler. The date was fixed for the race, and all the preliminaries were gone through, but it resulted iu a fiasco, which caused great dissatisfac tion. The referee directed that both men should row the wager again, and they attended at Putney to do so the following day. Here it was as serted that Sadler so conducted himself that Kelley was compelled to row over the course undisputed, after which the stakes were paid over to him, Sadler objecting to such a pro ceeding on the ground that Kelley had started with out giving him fair warning. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine appeared for the de fendant. Sadler, the plaintiff, was then examined, and said that—Preliminaries of the match having been arranged'l went to my starting place when Kelley told me to get over, as I had got his water. I told him I had not, but I moved away. The steamers then began to move, and then Kelley made a dash off. The steamers at this time had by their motion made it most unfit to start. Kelley then rowed up the river, as I thought to warm himself. The weather was at this time very cold, and I then put on my guernsey. I could not see Kelley at this time, so I turned my boat round and went in the direction of the starting-place, to be in readiness for Kelley when he came back. Kelley came back, but he did not come wi,hin 50 yards of me, and then he went rowing up the river towards Mort lake. He never gave me any warning or intima tion that he was going to start. The Lord Chief Justice—Did he bring his boat close to yours, and give you any warning of his starting ? Witness continued—BeforeKelley started neither the umpire nor any one else gave me the word to start. I rowed over the course after I had heard that Kelley had done so. When I got to Mortlake I found Kelley had gone ashore. Lord Chief Justice—Then the referee gave his decision without speaking to you. itness —Yes. Lard Chief Justice--Were you anxious to start that day ? Witness— -Yes. Lord Chief Justic3—You hal no intention of abandoning the race ? Witnes3—No, none whatever. I intended to row in my guernsey, as the weather was cold. I was not so well the first day as I was the second, but that was through eating too much for dinner. I had a couple of mutton chops or so, but I was all right the second day. Lord Chief Justice—Then you were in a fit state to row on the second day. Witness—Yes. Lord Chief Justice--Were you a consenting party when the stakes (0600) were handed over to Kelley ? Witness—l was not. Lord Chief Justice—What are the rules on start ing in watermen's wagers ? Witness—There is no starter. I wanted to have one, but Kelley objected, and we started without one. When 1. met Kelley at the Sportsnzart I asked to have a starter appointed, and two boats so moored as each should have a fair chance. They were to Le moored in the direct course, and when we were to start they were to let go, but this was not agreed to, and the articles were signed to start under the recognised rules. That is, by mutual consent. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—Mr. Foster never acted fur me in this matter further than putting down a little money, which I was to have if I won. I made all the arrangements my self, and the matter about a starter was talked about before the agreement was signed. The referee, Mr. Biflin, was first selected by me, and Kelley agreed to him. With the exception of the referee, the umpire, and the usage of there not being a starter, you agreed that you were to b e governe d by the printed rules of boat-racing, and your point is that the umpire had no power over you until you had started The Lord Chief Justiqe—You had better not put the question that way. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—very well, my lord. Do you know of any other recognised rules than those printed and observed by the Oxford and Cam bridge Boat Clubs ? Witness—WA, no ; but I cannot read. The guernsey I have produced is the one I actually wore on the day I was to row. I have never rowed in one before, but I have seen Drewitt row sitnilarily attired. I rowed a race with Chambers; there was a foul there. It was decided against me. I rowed a race with Percy, a charge of fouling was there ; it was decided against Percy. I rowed a race in Paris against Kelley, but I was disivalitied in the race, not for what I bad done. Sergeant Ballantine—Ali, tbat is your opinion. I take from what you say you would have started when Kelley did ? Witness—Yes ; bad the water been level and no motion from the steamers I would have started of course. I went to the starting point with the pur pose of going for the wager. I consulted the doctor, Dr. Willis, the evening of the first race for a tight ness in the chest, but I had no cough. I will swear I did not consult the doctor whether I should row the race. I intended to do it. I have beaten Kelley on one occasion, and I think I can do it now. Sergeant Ballantine—llon't be too certain. You mean to say you deliberately intended to start ? Witness—Yes; I always thought I could win, and I think so now. I did not tell Kelley I was unwell. I have not spoken to him for twelve months. I never saw Kelley speak to the referee. Kelley never came to me and told me he had been ordered by the referee to row the distance. Ile never came within fifty yards of me, and I don't know that he said anything to Messenger. I always desired to row the race ; of course I was not in a position to create a foul, and I never placed my boat in a posi tion to do so. Kelley at first said to me, " Your boat is not straight," and I put it so. Sergeant Ballantine—l thought you said you had never spoken to Kelley for twelve mouths, but now you say he had to tell you to put your boat straight. Is that so ? Witness—Yes. Re-examined—The objection raised against me at Paris was that I had a boat to coach me, which I found out was not allowed. The boat tiler° was at my request. I only asked Dr. Willis to give me something to relieve a tightness at my chest—no thing more. Mr. Egan, of Bell's Life, said, the day on which the match was to have taken place was clear and cold. I saw both men at the post to start, and there seemed to me clearly to be a good opportunity of a fair start bad both been desirous. Twice dur ing the period I speak of I saw distinctly a method on the part of Sadler to start. Ile dipped his sculls twice. Our steamboat was then floating up, It and of course it became difficult to see afterwards. ap peared to me that great delay took place after the first opportunity to start had been lost: I did not see two attempts to start, but'at the time I speak of there was a good quiet passage open. Of course there was some confusion caused by the delay. of the start, as the steamers had to back water. I don't know of any communication being sent from the umpire's boat. Lord Chief Justice—Did Kelley go and put his boat in such a position as to give Sadler a fair chance at a start? Witness—No, he did not go near him. Water men, in rowing wagers, start by their arrangements. The race ought to have been rowed according to the printed rules of the Cambridge and Oxford Boat Club. ti4By Sergeant Ballantine—l don't think that Sadler would have been justified iu waiting for two days before he started. If I was referee, and had to act, in the event of seeing on e rdirer f a match shaming for twenty minutes I should assume the office of starter immediately. Mr.. Garth, Q.C., read the mks with respect to starting, and Sergeant Ballantine said he begged to direct the attention of the learned gentleman to the next rule, which stated that where any rower refused to obey the referee to start, such non-starting shall be taken as a refusal to row, and upon that ru!e he should rely. The Lord Chief Justice to Wituess—Speaking from what you saw on the second day, do you think there was a fair opportunity offered to both men, irrespective of the confusion, to start bad they felt so disposed? Witness—Yes, my lord, I do. The further hearing of the case at this time was adjourned until to-morrow. SPORTING INTELLIGENOE.—This Day. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING—This DAY.

Although her skull was fractured by the fall, she was able to state that she had passed the night at a masked ball, and that, being in a state of delirium caused by drink and excitemont, she had not been able to control a desire to throw herself out of window. She was removed to the Hospital of St. Louis.— Galignani CONSUMPrION of SPIRITS IN 1867.—Tile quantity of home-made spirits retained for consum p tion as beverage 1 3,0 9 0 ,3 9 ‘ i 6 u Scotland in the United Kingdom dnosmin England, inlB67was 21 8 ,9 gallons— viz., 11,323,713 g 4,892,654 in Ireland.
