The stock markets are quiet still, and without matertal alteration in the leading prices. The funds opened flat, Consols being per cent. lower, but there is now no variation from last night's prices. Mexican and Italian securities are in more request, at a slight advance.

N o tenders on Bombay were invited. These terms show a revival in the demand for remittances to India. The ordinary general meeting of the Merchant Banking Company has been called for the 19th inst., to receive the directors' report and to declare a divi dend.

The following is from the Rosszt, Grande Gold Company (Li m it e d) : —M r . Ernest ILlcke reports (under date the 31st January) : The works a re going on satisfactorily, all possible speed is making in sinking the air shaft, the turn from the adit to the level is completed, after which the sloping was con tinued for a few days, but the want of ventilation has PM me to the necessity of suspending these works until the shaft is communicated with the adit ; this Will take about four months. Our produce for this month therefore, I fear, will not come up to the half of the December one, and unless we intersect with a good lode in sinking the shaft or driving the level, it Will continue low till the above-named communication IS carried out. The proceedings of the Balm Mine, as Well as the Jacolinga Exploration, are going on well. The following is Messrs.

LADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Tbe variable temperature of most climates is always preg nant with colds, catarrhs, tumours, and abscesses, and all scrofulous diseases and glandular affections usually be come worse at each variation. Holloway's •diligently rubbed upon the skin as near to the affected part as pos sible will be found the most safe and efficient means of im mediately subduing pain and finally irradicating the seeds of future mischief from the system. Whenever ths malady is chronic, constitutional, or dangerous, Holloway's pills should be taken to quicken and increase the curative power. Scurvy, skin diseases, and similar disorders dis appear before the cleansing and healing influence of Hol loway's remedies, which, for their successful employment, require moderate time and fair attention.

THE RISKS OF MONEY-LENDING.-Mr. Charles Jupp, a builder, of the Triangle, Hackney, ap peared to a summons charging him with obtaining a sum of £5O by false pretences from Mr. Baughan, of Southampton-buildings, Chancery-lane. It appeared that on the 13th December last Mr. Jupp applied for a loan of £5O to Mr. Maynard, who advances money on mortgage, offering as a security a mortgage on his furniture. He stated that his furniture was his own, that he had never made any assignment or given any mortgage on it, and that his debts did not exceed £lOO. Mr. Sey mour, a clerk in Mr. Baughan's employ, was sent at once to take an inventory of the goods ; and on the 14th the defendant called at Mr. Baughan's office to receive the money, when he was requested to made a declaration to the effect that his furniture was free from incurnbranc, and that his debts did not exceed £llO. Upon this Mr. Baughan advanced him the £5O, repayable by periodical instalments extending over twelve months. Shortly afterwards he became bankrupt, and his account rendered showed his liabilities to be over £4OO. It then appeared that his furniture was not his own, having been assigned to a Mr. Wallington. Witnesses were called to prove the defendant's bankruptcy, and also that before and up to the 14th December, and until his bankruptcy, defendant was indebted to them in various sums, amounting in all to considerably more than £llO. The defendant being asked by the magistrate if he wished to make any statement in defence, said " I leave it in the hands of my solicitor." Mr. Baughan—l shall say nothing. It is useless to fight against daylight ! The defendant was committed for trial. 111A2LBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ROBBING A GENTLE MAN.—Catherine Monlan, a well-known chief, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a £2O and a L 5 bank note, the property of Mr. John IV. Ridge, of No. 2, Craven-place, Bayswater, gentle man. Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. - The prosecutor said—l met the prisoner in Soho last night, and went with her to a house. I was not sober. I had two notes —one for £2O and the other for £s—loose in my pocket, and on my leav ing the house, and while walking along the street, the prisoner snatched them out of my pocket and ran away. The prisoner had another young woman with her, and she ran away too. I ran after the and gave he r j u t e cus t o dy, prisoner and stopped her, when she said she had not got the notes. I did see the notes safe a minute or two before. I lost £7 or £8 besides in the house. By Mr. Lewis—l can't say where I first met the prisoner, but it was somewhere in Soho. Ido not know whether I had anything to drink in the house. I was not sober. I went into the house with the prisoner and her companion. I never saw them be fore. I gave her into custody at the corner of the street. I will swear the prisoner put her hand into t know wh a t t h e pr i soner did my pocket. I don' with the notes, but should like to know. I will not swear that I did not kiss the prisoner at the corner of the street. She did not accuse me of pulling her about. Mr. Knox—Are you sure you did not drop the notes ? Prosecutor—l am sure I did not. P o li ce - cons t a ble Fish, 152 A R, said--At half past 5 o'clock this morning:l was in Princes-street, Soho, and heard a cry of " stop thief," and saw the prisoner and another female running. The pro secutor caught the prisoner, and while the prose cutor was struggling with her I t oo k h o ld of her hand, but she drew it away from mo. Sh e sa id the prosecutor had been fumbling her about for an hour. The prosecutor said the prisoner had robbed him of a £2O and a £5 note. I took the prisoner to the station, but did not find the notes upon her. I afterwards went to the sp o t where I had seen the prosecutor and the prisoner struggling together, an d s aw a boy pick up some thing, which turned out to be the prosecutor's notes. Mr. Lewis submitted that there was not sufficient evidence to convict the prisoner, the prosecutor being drunk at the time and not knowing what he was about, and it beingquitelikely that, while struggling with the prisoner, the notes dropped from his pocket and he thought the prosecutor might think himself fortunate that he had subsequently fallen into such good hands. Mr. Knox said that he thought Mr. Lewis's con tention that the notes fell out of the prosecutor's pocket would not hold, as it was shown that the prisoner ran away, and the notes were not picked up where the struggle took place. He would re mand the prisoner. Gordon, 33 C, said that the prisoner was a well known thief. CRUEL TREATMEN T OF A HORSE.—Robt. Oxtoby, a vendor of fire-wood, residing at Deptford, ap peared to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of :Cruelty to Ani mals, for ill-treating a horse. Mr. John Burge, a gentleman, residing at Cam den-hill-road, said that on the 21st February he saw the defendant driving a horse attached to a van 1 ;den with fire -wood along Piccadilly. The defendant continually struck the horse with a whip stock in a cruel manner, the blows being generally given the horse about the ribs. lie expostulated with the defendant on his cruelty, but he took no notice, and merely laughed at him. He then gave information to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Joseph Dobie, officer of the Society, said that the defendant told him the horse occasionally jibbed, and that it jibbed on the occasion in question, and that he struck it a few times. The defendant was fined 405., or a month. THAMES. The Egress of Bluegate Fields, Mary Ann Mul cahy, a corpulent Irishwoman, about forty years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with assaulting and wounding Catherine Cronin, whose head was enveloped in surgical bandages, with " London Hospital" printed upon them. The prisoner's husband is the landlord of several infamous dens in the vicinity of that horrible place called Bluegate Fields, Ratcliff Highway. The quarrels of the prisoner and her husband have been frequently investigated at this court, and both have been fined and imprisoned for assaulting each other. The prisoner is a perfect fiend, and has been re peatedly convicted for committing savage assaults on people of both sexes, and she has not been par ticular in her choice of weapons. She is now under recognisances to keep the peace. She is known in the district as the "Tigress of Bluegate-fields." This morning, at 3 o'clock (said the complainant, who bad lost a great deal of blood), I was at 3, Victoria place, Bluegate-fields, and I heard that my sister was having a row with the prisoner. I heard a dis turbance in the court and went there. I saw the prisoner and a girl named Honors Murphy beating my sister. They were holding her by the hair of her head. I said, "Mother Mulcahy, leave her alone." The prisoner turned round and struck me on the side of the face with her fist. I hit her back again, and we both fell on the ground, and the pri soner bit me on the arm and on the finger, nearly biting my finger through. I said, " Mrs. Mulcahy, you.are biting me." She let go of me and went in doors. A young man named James O'Hara came out with a knife and said he would run me through in two miuutes. The prisoner then came out and said, "I have been bound over to keep the peace for six months, and m y six months is nearly u p, and I'll cut and scar any ono t h at comes before me." She struck at me with the poker, and the blow fell on James Murphy. I said to the people who were standing by, " Look out, or she will cut you." While I was talking to the young man she struck me ou the left side of the head with a poker,:and I was wounded and stunned by the blow and taken to the London Hospital. The Prisoner—Did you not tear into pieces like this. (Her gown was torn.) Witnow—No ; I did not. NG, MARCH 5, 1868. Prisoner—Did you not cut Mary Iloitnes's head? Witness—No. Alice and Margaret Cronin, sisters of the com plainant, confirmed her statement. It appeared there was a general Irish row among the people in Bluegate-fields before the complainant was as saulted. Cornelius Sullivan, an Irish cobbler, said the Cronins began the row, and attacked Mrs. Mulcahy. Mr. Paget asked how the complainant got her head cut, and his reply was ":1 expect Mrs. Mulcahy did that." In answer to questions by the prisoner, the witness said that Catherine Cronin was upon you and beating you in your own passage. llonorah Murphy, a prostitute, of No. 1, Angel court, Shadwell, said the row conuneuced by Alice Cronin, with whom she fought thre2 years ago, challenging her to fight this in )rning, and then a regular fight and row ensue 1. James O'Hara, of 11, Victoria-plat:!, Bluegate fields, gave a description of the row and fight, and said he did lirtlo jobs for Mr. Malchay. llc swore that Mrs. Cronin struck Mrs. Mulchay first, and that there was a tremenlous scrimmage, and that Mrs. Cronin hit him and Sullivan with a boot. Mr. Paget said tbat before he finally disposed of this case he should like to hear what the police had to say about the row and its commencement. After hearing Mary Holmes and Mary Burke, two abandoned and desperate thieves and prostitutes, who laid all the blame on the Cronies, he re manded the prisoners.

LIVERPOOL RACES—WEDNESDAY. THE GRAND NATIONAL. The Grand National may almost be styled an interna tional contest now, for not only have we French and Ger man horses among the competitors, but the number of foreigners who come over to see the great race run is ex traordinary, and there has been for the last two or throe years quite a Babel of tongues on the roof of the Gran d Stand. The Jockey Clubs of Paris and - Vienna send strong contingents, and from the plains of Hungary and the banks of the Seine come sportsmen as keen as any England or Ireland can show. Though two of the races in the list failed to fill there was still a respectable number of items left for the Grand National day, and from the number of people that made the journey to Aintree by road and rail, it was evident that the big event had lost none of its old attractions. From a comparatively early hour heavy trains were despatched to the scene of action from the Tithebarne street Station in Liverpool, and long before three o'clock —the time fixed for bringing the steeplechase to issue-- the Canal Bridge, and the other points of advantage for witnessing the struggle wore taken possession of by the holiday folk, who were favoured by fair weather, and were more numerous than ever. The important movements which took place towards midnight on Tuesday, in connec tion with the big race, have already been recorded, and nothing of importance occurred this morning till a move had been made to the course, whore plenty of bookmakers and backers were assembled as early as 1 o'clock, though the first race on the card was not set to . come off till three-quarters of an hour later. Before this came on the tapis, that portion of the enclosure to the right of the Stand was crowded with speculators, and in the balcony above were located a far greater assemblage of the " upper ten" than usual, many aristocratic ladies belonging to the Sefton party gracing the occasion. No very important change in the betting on the Grand National was observ able; Chimney Sweep and Moose, however, being firmer than Lamb, who declined two points, while Pearl Diver advanced to 11 to 1, despite the support given to Moose. After the first race, which wont to Three per Cent. after a omart struggle with King's Daughter, it oozed out that Tusculanum had gone amiss in the morning, and the pen being put through his name at 10 minutes past two, left Mr. Goodman at liberty, that celebrated gentleman jockey being thereupon engaged for Helen. When this became known 20 to 1 was taken rather readily about the mare, and Fan, after having been supported at 10 to 1, de clined to 100 to 8. At the same time Nun maintained her position at 100 to 6, and of the others forming the middle division Huutsman's Daughter and Aid blade found favour at the odds accepted about Helen. The first race produced but three runners, and for the second—the Hurdle Handicap —there were but four, of whom Prima Donna, Musketeer, and . Emlsleigh claimed the beaten allowance of 51b for not having been placed in Tuesday's hurdle race. The other starter, Brick, proved the winner, and three quarters of an hour was now left for getting the Grand National competitors ready. There were 38 coloured, and, in t - ,dlitiou to Tusculanum, old Philosopher was struck out, his formal withdrawal taking place at a quarter pest twelve. Some time before the start .tihs t M - ne Mooseas s u r e s d. and B 1 N , r a a s y He l e en y l t Helen n a u n sr d tees ß iet t oc r b t m loyr a ,p d tet e,n who declarationscanratio nn t g o d o w f in th l e ir l i to her last year, while Walter White was secured for Moose, Tomlinson being secured for Pearl Diver, when it was found that the Duke of Hamilton intended to exercise his prerogative with regard to Garus. The report that Holman would ride Daisy turned out to be incorrect, as he weighed for Huntsman's Daughter, while Mr. Thomas, at liberty through the scratching of Mr. Studd's lot, sported the colours of the Cambrian horse, Mr. Cren shaw bearing those of Lord Stamford upon Thalassius in place of Lotan, who was rather shaky after the " spill" Archimedes gave him on the opening day. Mr. Edward, as arranged, scaled for Lamb, and for the first time for years George Stevens had no mount, Lord Coventry's in terests with Chimney Sweep being intrusted to the jockey who brought him home to victory at Warwick and Croy don. The most notable change in the betting towards the close were the advance of Helen, Pearl Diver, and Hunts man's daughter, and the decline of Nun, Garus, Captain Crosstree, Astrolabe, and Thalassius; and it will be gathered from the return that Captain Crosstree of the 21 runners (two less than last year) made nearly all the run ning, and only surrendered in the last 200 yards to Pearl Diver, and The Lamb, the last named of whom having the pace at the finish, defeated Mr. Brayley's horse by two lengths. Alcibiade and Captain Crosstree were next, some distance behind the leaders, and the first named of these ran well under his weight, but lacked speed, as did Daisy, who was ono of the first on the racecourse. At this point Moose was completely pumped out, and pro bably no one was more surprised than Mr. Brayley at his easy defeat by Pearl Diver. Helen proved the most formidable of Mr. Barber's, Fan being virtually out of the race at the third fence, while before reaching this the hopes of Lord Coventry of lauding a third Grand National were scattered to the winds by Chimney S weep falling, and breaking ono of his legs. Thalassius and The Nun, among others, canoe down, and from the start t hr ee out of the four leaders at the end may be said to have kept good places. From the ready manner in which Lamb shook off Pearl Diver from the last hurdle, it is probable that the statement mado that ho was a better horse than Benazet is not in the least exaggerated. Lord Poulett (reported to bo only part owner) and his friends must be heavy win ners by the success of Lamb, who is by the Zouavo (sou of Bantam), his dam by Arthur. At Puuchestown last April, when but half-trained, he won the Kildare Hunt Plate, three miles and a half, front 15 antagonists, and prior to this he carried off the Corinthian Stakes at the Curragh. But for his Croydon performance he would have been more strongly fancied by the general body of backers ; still many of the talent supported him from the strong symptoms of fondness displayed by Lord Poulett, who has landed the coup he has so long struggled for. His lord ship was warmly congratulated after the race, as was Mr. Edwards, who rode throughout very steadily, never at tempting to rush his horse, and reserving himself for a finishing effort. There was a general exodus from the course when the big contest was over, and the day's sport terminated by half-past four, the last two items being carried off respectively by Dawdle and Moonbeam, of whom the last named got off better than she did ou Tues day.

Betting - 7 to 1 agst Chimney Sweep, 8 to 1 each agst Moose and Fan, 9 to 1 agst The Lamb, 10 to 1 agst Pearl Diver, 11 to 1 agst Daisy, 12 to 1 agst Helen, 16 to 1 each agst Alcibiade and Huntsman's Daughter, 20 to agst The Nun, 30 to 1 each agst Garus and Astrolabe, 100 to 3 agst Captain Crosstree, 40 to 1 each agst Buszko and Thalas sins, 50 tc 1 each agst Plover, Hall Court, and Hove Came, and 6G to 1 agst Charming Woman. The usual amount of curiosity and excitement was displayed by the partisans of the several competitors and the general mul titude to witness the preliminary canter; which Garus led. The favourite naturally attracted the greatest share of attention, but the condition and style of going of each of the horses were criticised in turn, and the univer sal impression appeared to be that a field of more than ave rage merit was about to contestthegreat prize. The canters taken, the horses were then paraded past the stand, Helen showing the way. Thence they were conducted to the starting post, which they reached in excellent time. A good start was effected at the first attempt, Garus getting away with a slight lead of Huntsman's Daughter, Captain Crosstree, The Lamb, Mentmore, and Charming Woman ; Alcibiade, Slieve Came, Chimney Sweep, and Daisy fol lowing next in a cluster, while Thalasius headed the re mainder—Fan, Buszke, and Kingswood being in the ex treme rear. They had scarcely settled in theirplaces, and had only in fact reached the lane, when Chimney Sweep trod on a large stone that lay in the course, and in conse quence fell and broke his leg. This accident caused im mense excitement and consternation to prevail in the Stand, from which point Adams, the jockey, was seen first to vault out of the saddle and next to return to the enclo sure on foot. So serious was the injury sustained by Chimney Sweep that Lord Coventry, to end the horse's sufferings, ordered him to be shot, and this was immedi ately done. Toreturn to the race, at the first fence Slieve Came refused, the remainder negociated the second fence, but at the obstacle immediately preceding Beecher's brook Fan and Charming Woman refused; and their chances being thus extinguished, they wore not further persevered with. Before Beecher's brook bad been actually reached Captain Crosstree deprived Garus of the command. At the brook itself the last-named refused, while Ment more, Thalassius, and Buszke, in endeavouring to take the leap, fell ; and of this lot the latter only was persevered with. The field now became widely scattered, with Capt. Orosstree leading by six lengths. No casualty occurred at Valentine's brook, nor did any alteration take place in the positions previously indicated. At the table-jump into the course, Alcibiade and Helen drew forward, Moose, Huntsman's Daughter, and the Nun being some distance in the rear. At the hurdle; just before reaching the stand, Captain Crosstree ran up to Alcibiade, and got over first. Pearl Diver running up lea the way over the water; The Lamb, Captain Crosstree, Daisy, Huntsman's Daughter, Alcibiade, Moose, and Helen following in the order named. The Nun, who was several lengths behind, came down at this point, and, throwing Wheeler, broke away, rider less. Following her came Buszke, Astrolabe, and The Plover, Kingswood, some distance behind the latter, jumping into the middle of the water. All got over the fence past Beecher's brook, and Alcibiade was now seen to take up the running, The Lamb and Captain Crosstree close up, Pearl Diver and Moose next; Alcibiade, however, soon gave way under the weight, and CaptainOrosstree re assumed the lead on the return home, The Lamb, Pearl Diver, and Alcibisde following clasely in the wake. At Valentine's brook Daisy was dead beaten, and the jockey had some trouble to got him over, while Buszke tired in the ploughed land and was pulled up. No change oc curred in the positions of the leaders till reaching the table jump the second time. Here Captain Crosstree refused, but was soon righted; but Moose retired beaten. On gaining tho course the issue was left to Tho Lamb and Pearl Diver - the two coming on neck and neck to the first hurdles, which they charged together. At the last hurdles neither had the slightest advantage over the other, and it looked as though either might win. Both were ridden with great determination, but Pearl Diver being settled opposite the stand The Lamb drew away and won by two lengths; ten lengths between second and third and three lengths between third and fourth ; Astrolabe and Helen, beaten a distance, walked in next. Hall Court, Moose, Huntsman's Daughter, Mentmore, Daisy, and Buszke walked in, but none of them passed the post. The pace was good throughout.

I Ealiug l5 DECEMBER. 1, Ealing 26 ... 8i St. Albans.. Kingsbury PIIOTOGRAPHY. The carbon process has arrived at such perfection of late that it bids fair to beat the old silver one out of the field. The principle on which it rests is simply this: that gelatine mixed with bichromate of potash or ammonia has the property of be coming insoluble under the action of solar light. If, therefore, a negative be placed on a piece of paper coated with bichromated gelatine, the coating will be washed away in warm water wherever light has not penetrated, and as this will occur in the darks of the negative corresponding lights will be obtained in the light. But as bichro mate alone would give but a pale yellow, a pigment is added to the gelatine, Indian ink being most com monly used for that purpose. No w Indian ink is but a preparation of carbon, and hence the name given to the process. The paper coated with this blackened gelatine, after receiving the impression of light through a negative, loses all its black coating in all those parts where the gelatine has remained soluble, and it is thus a delicately-toned print is obtained. The paper may be prepared beforehand with blackened uubichromated gela tine, and kept indefinitely in this state till required; it may be sensitized just before using it by dipping it for a minute into a solution of I.7sgins. of bichroinate of ammonia in 100gms. of water. The paper, when dry, is put into a common printing-frame with the nega tive to be reproduced, but so that the latter may be in contact with the back of the paper, not its sensitised side. The impression, being thus effected through the paper, will, on developing, come out with the finest details. There is one difficulty connected with this process; it is the time of exposure. As the developing process simply consists in washing away the soluble parts of the coating, not the slightest vestige of a figure is perceptible on the paper before that operation, so that the time of exposure requisite has hitherto been mere guess-work. M. Leon Nidal, in a paper re cently published by him, points out an excellent practical way of overcoming this obstacle. 'laving remarked that the time is about the same required in common silver printing, he exposes a strip of sensitized albumenised paper simultaneously with the carbon paper, covering the strip with a piece of the latter uncoated. In this way he has only to watch the progress of the printing on the strip, in order to judge of what is going on in the carbon frame. lie also makes a scale of shades from the darkest black to the purest white ; and this scale, when photographed, becomes a seat of photometer with which to compare the intensity of the shades of the carbon print.
