A further withdrawal of £74,000 in sovereigns for Alexandria took place at the Bank yesterday. The following remarks upon the bullion market are from Messrs. Mocatta and Goldstuid's circular of last evening :—" There is still but very little activity in our market ; the arrivals of silver and dollars have been unimportant, and the prices remain without variation. The quantity of gold received has also been limited, and with the exception of what may arrive from Australia and some casual shipments fro m the United States nothing on a lar..e scale is expected for the present. The inquiry for exporta tion to the Continent has sensibly declined, and is not , sufficiently strong to cause withdrawals to any large extent front the Bank, nevertheless whatever comes to hand is still forwarded to France, and . within the last few days some amounts of sovereigns have bee n taken for Egypt." The monthly Como' settlement begins on Monday, and concludes on the following Thursday. The new account is fixed for the 2d of April. Some of the German papers are calling attention to the remarkable results attained by the railways of Prussia in the ten years ending with 1867. A table is given of twenty-seven linesdifferent running through all parts of the Prus sian dominions, their prices on the 31st becember, 1858, and on the 31st December, 1867, with the dividends they paid in the year 1861 The general result is to show a return of 8i per Cent. in dividends, and an increase of 25 per cent. upon the prices of the stocks. This result is claimed to be unique ; and much credit is taken for avoiding the errors which have produced embar rassment in England and elsewhere. It is also claimed, as a result of the policy that has been followed, that Prussia can raise, in the form of redeemable °l)ligations, any amount of capital that may he re quired for the construction of branch or secondary lines under extremely favourable conditions. M. Salaverria, late Finance Minister, has been nominated, with the assent of the Spanish Govern 'bent, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Spain. ilurseilles advices to the 25th inst. describe an • active grain market, and very firm prices. Arrivals are still limited, and they are only front the Black Sea ports ; but th e C onstant i nop l e steamer of the 19 th, which reached Marseilles on the 25th, brought news that, though prices there were advancing, a eonsiderable number o f gra i n -l a d en s hi ps were passing aown the Dardanelles for the French Mediterranean Port s . The Anglo Austrian Bank give notice that on and after the 2nd March, proximo, the letters of allotment ° f shares in the Anglo-Hungarian Bank, issued in tendon, accompanied by the banker's receipt, may be exchanged for provisional share certificates. In cases re here th e a ll ottees d o not personally attend the t ter of allotment mu s t b e accompan i ed by their Written order for delivery of the certificate.

CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. THE DISPUTED RACE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH-FEB. 28. SADLER V. SMITH. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Brickwood ap peared for the plaintiff ; and Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Garth for the defendant. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) Robert Chambers said ho had rowed in about 100 races. No communication was made to Sadler that 'Kelley was going to row over the course. Sadler was about fifty yards off when Kelley started. He had never said that Sadler did not intend to row the match. When Kelley came back from the referee's boat the river was not in a state that a man could be fairly expected to start. Kelley was nearly swamped himself. This was the plaintiff's case.—Mr. Sergeant Bal lantine took a preliminary objection, viz., that whatever decision the referee had come to, whether erroneous or not, was final on all the points of the race.—The Lord Chief Justice said he should pre fer considering that point when all the evidence was before him. I shall reserve your leave to move the Court upon the ground you take, but it way be convenient for you to know what I shall hold. I rule to the jury that the referee has a power over the decision of the race as to any matters which he sees or by legitimate means he ascertains, and if he did not see it he must ascertain it in the usual way, by bearing what has to be said on both sides. The most satisfactory solution of the case would be a new trial on the Thames, with a steamer for the judge, jury, and counsel, the costs to abide the event. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine called Henry Kelley, who said—Sadler made . one attempt to start, but his boat's head was pointed in the direction of mine, and if we had started we must have fouled within ten or fifteen yards. It was a flying start, the plaintiff wishing to have the start before I was ready. I told Sadler to move further away, and also called to Hammerton. Sadler then moved further away. He made another attempt. I made an attempt, but the plaintiff failed. I backed my boat level with his, and asked him if he intended to row or not. He replied, "lamin no hurry." After that he left his post and went to his cutter and put on a white guernsey—a very thick woollen one, and towed towards the aqueduct. I then left my station and rowed to the referee's boat. Sadler was GO or 70 yards from the starting point, and going in the direction of the aqueduct. At that time the referee's boat was coming towards us, and it was about fifty yards above the pier when I reached it. The umpires and referee were in the bow of the boat. I said to the referee " Sadler will not start ; he has put his thick guernsey on, and has rowed towards the aqueduct." His answer was "If Sadler won't start, you row over." I then turned my boat round and rowed towards the starting-place, passing both cutters, and to within fifty yards of the aqueduct. As I rounded my cutter I said to Drewitt " I have orders to row over." Sadler was not more than 30 yards at the outside from me, and I shouted to him, " I have orders to row over ; you can stop there if you like." All I could.'get from him was a laugh. I called out to Sadler, so that I thought he must have heard it. The Lord Chief Justice—And you started off without knowing whether he did or did not? The referee again ordered me to go on, and I did so to the end of the course. I put my hands forward as if going to make a stroke, but seeing the boat so near mine, I was notgoing that time. The Lord Chief Justice—Sadler was thirty yards nearer the aqueduct than you were. Why did you not go alongside of Sadler and tell him your orders, and give him an opportunity of making a fair start ? —Defendant—He had every opportunity of turning his boat, or hemight have said, "Stop, and I will come up." I have no other reason to give. —Dr. Willis was called : Sadler came to me the night of the first race, and complained of a tightness of the chest and a cold. I gave him no advice about the following day.--At this stage of the inquiry the case was ad journed, and as it was the last day of the sittings, and the Lord Chief Justice had to be at Hertford on Saturday to open the Nisi Prius sittings, it was arranged that the further hearing of the case should be resumed on Friday next. MARKETS—( 2 his Day.) COLONIAL AND FOREIUN PRODUCE. The markets to-day are quiet, but firm in all the prin cipal departments. Imports of colonial and foreign pro duce aro moderate, and deliveries good, with decreasing stocks in first hands, but dealers having in several in stances supplied themselves during the last fortnight, there is a temporary abatement of inquiry, checking the buoyancy of prices whilst leaving them still firm. Sugar is 6,1 dearer than on this day week, but with a quiet market. Coffee shows no appreciable change, except perhaps that really good colony qualities are rather dearer from being relatively scarce. Tea supports the recent advance, but increased arrivals have caused buyers to operate more sparingly. POTATOES. There has been a large arrival of Dutch potatoes this week, reaching about 1,000 tons, good in quality, but not large, and they have sold pretty well, but have somewhat interfered with the demand for French. Regents and flukes are iu limited supply, ani the propor tion o! best qualities very small, and for these higher rates are paid. Cattle feed plentiful, demand dull, and prices rather easier. Swedes, 40s; wurtzel, 403 per ton. Green stuffs very abundant, and a dragging sale at low prices. Greens, is 6d to 33 ; turnips, is 6d to 3s ; carrots, 2s to 4s per dozen bundles; savoys, al to is ; brocoli, is to 3s per dozen ; celery, 8d to is ; rhubarb, 3s to Os per dozen bundles ; onions, very scarce and in de mand, £5 lOs to £6 lOs per ton ; loose carrots, 40s to 80s per ton; turnip tops, is to 2s 61 per sack; brocoli sprouts. 6d to is per sieve. lIAY AND STRAW. At Smithfield and Whitochapel the supplies of rough hay stuffs are large and the trade generally dull—but for prime qualities, which are relatively scarce, prices aro maintained. Meadow hay, 70s to 84s ; inferior, 50s to 60s ; clove; first cut, 80s to 100 s ; second 55s to 84s ; straw, 30s to 31s per load. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, Fob. 29.—The market opens quietly. N o quotable reduction. Sales probably 8,000 or 10,000 bale s OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE ATHLETIC SPORTS.- The inter -University sports will take place oa the 3d of April, the day before the boat race, and will, it is said, be at Beaufort House, though Oxford wishes to have them at Lord's. Cambridge refuses to run there on the ground of there being no path, and they do not feel disposed, after practising on tho path for the last 12 months, to run on turf or up and down hill, as they would have to do at Lord's. AN EXAMPLE WORTHY OF BEING FOLLOWED. --A thorough inquiry is to be made into the charities of Lambeth by a standing committee . There are i n the hands of officials in the parish thirty-four trusts, pro ducing an annual revenue of 15,/02 16s 31. That these are distributed honestly no one doubts, b u t how, when, and to whom, is a mystery to be eluci dated. £9OO goes to the rates, a lot more , to pe ns i ons, and the rest is duly muddled away.—Asouth Lond on Press. FENIAN TRIALS IN IRELAND.—" Captain" Nagle and several other Fenians were yesterday arraigned at the Sligo Assizes. True bills were first found by th e grand jury against Nagle and eight others char ge d with treason-felony. Mr. heron applied for a writ of certiorari to remove Nagle's trial to the Queen's Bench, on the ground that six Americans could not b e f ound for a jury in Sligo. Judge Fitzgerald ref use d , and said the prisoner was entitled to a mixed j ury, b ut the alien portion might be of any country. N a g l e was then arraigned. Mr. Heron asked that the in dictment should be quashed, on the ground that six of the grand jurors were not resident in the county. The Court decided against the objection, and the trial proceeds to-day. Mr. Train was in court, and offered to serve on the jury. The CAirt repelled the inter ference of Mr.. Imn, through whom the offer was made. THE PREMIER.—The last change in the bead of our Government interests literary readers almost as greatly as political readers, since it has come to be the substi tution of one man of letters for another. Indeed, all the more recent as well as all the probable aspirants to the highest office in the Government of this realm are of this class--Earl Russell and the Rat of Derby, Mr. Gladstone and M 2. Disraeli. But Mr. Disraeli s in a more especial way a man of letters, and it is n)t long since he described himself in public as a gen tleman of the press. Well has he climbed the ascent tf power, and boldly snatched the crown from his less v.iroit and daring rivals ! Literature has every right lo feel satislied with his success in the political field. .twenty years ago--nay two years ago—almost any .vent in the strange story of our party combinations appeared more likely than that the Queen would send Itm he att . tl4 of Vivian grey,-7,4tloncom SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

GEORGE WADDINGTON. — Under the skilful treatment of Dr. Mann, of Leeds, the above well-known steeplechase jockey has so far recovered from his Birmingham accident that he will be able to reappear in the saddle. Carlotta, pri'r to running for the Juvenile Stakes at Nottingham, was sold to Sir Charl es L egar d ; an d s i s t er to Lemonade, after running very indifferently in the same race, was sold privately for a "fiver." • _ LIVERPOOL HUNT CLUR.—Tho first meeting of the above club for the season is announced to take place at Hoylake on Saturday, April 25, and the programme is of the usual attractive character. The disputed Hunt Hurdle Race at Ellesmere last year has been awarded to New Oswestry on the ground of Toni Thumb, who came in first, having been in a train ing stable. Mr. Wesley's Hungerford, well known as a good and successful weight-carrier on the Home Circuit, was de stroyed after his ignominious exhibition at Harrow. Orne was scratched for the Hurdle Handicap at Derby at 1.30 p.m. on Thursday last. Vici, after running " nowhere" in the Great Annual Hurdle at Nottingham, was sold to T. Cannon, the jockey, for 25 guineas. We regret to announce the death of Mr. James Hall, a well-known and much-respected member of Tatter mall's.

GRAND NATIONAL STEEPLECHASE. Bell's Life.—Supposing Chimney Sweep, Daisy, Alcibiade, Tusculanum, Fan, and Clansman or Despatch, to be really the cream of the practised hands and all alive, there is Mr. Brayley to be feared, whilst backers of horses might possibly get on half the field, and then " skin the lamb." Con sequently, the boldest plungers may come the best off, and we are content to stand on our old friend Chimney Sweep, or Tusculanum. Sporting Life.—Ainong the heavy weights, Chim ney Sweep, Hornet, and Alcibiade strike me as pos sessing the best chances, and in the light weights 1 lean to Fan, Clansman, and Moose, and this leaves me with precisely half a dozen representatives to defeat the field. Should all go well, we shall doubt less see one of this lot win, and in standing upon two I shall trust to Fan and Chimney Sweep ; while in the battle for places we shall doubtless see Clans man and Moose, and I shall be much disappointed if Lord Coventry's game scion of Ethelbert and Smut does not run home either first or second. Sportsman.—l consider the following four, viz., Moose, Chimney Sweep, The Lamb, and Huntsman's Daughter to be the pick of the handi cap, and of these, assuming the betting to furnish a true indication of Mr. Brsyley's intentions, I shall give the preference to Moose and Chimney Sweep. Sporting Gazette. —having " spun a yarn," and given my opinion of every horse likely to take part in this great contest, it only remain s f or me to sum up, which I do by giving an unqualifi e d vote for The Lamb, next to whom I expect t o see t h e best of Mir. Studd'e, Helen, Chimney Swe e p, and Tuscula num. Sunday Times.—We have a wholesome dread of Chimney Sweep, Despatch, and Moose, but if Fan is meant, she must win ; and should the chapter of accidents favour our outsider, possibly that lucky one will be Huntsman's Daughter.
