MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLocK. The weekly return of the Bank of England shows anincrease in its resources, and a considerable acces slenof strength in bullion and reserve, though the outside demand for money has reduced the amount of its private deposits. The addition to the bullion is e:zplained by the abatement in the continental demand, in the and the additi ons t o the reserve mainly by the in crease public deposits. The circulation has diminished a halo, but it is still high, so that the Public are still holding large supplies of money within their immediate control, and consequently they have loen able to re d e e m a further amount of securities. The amount of private securities now held. by the Lank is only a fraction over £16,200,000. The following are the principal changes since the preceding return : Decrease in Circulation — --- 305,512 Increase in Public Deposits Decrease in other Deposits Decrease in Government Securities Decrease in other Securities . 59,841 Increase in Bullion ' ......„ 157,640 Decrease in Rest 19,807 Increase i❑ Reserve .. 412,959 Bullion in both Departments Reserve of Notes and Coin 13,231,939 Circulation, including Bank Post Bills 23,666,24 4 The return of paid clearing, for the week ending Wednesday, Feb. 26, as certified by Mr. J. O. 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 nct 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 now 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 bad the effect of limiting the supply, and the rate for the best hills is 15 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, and advances on Consols are charged 15 per cent. The failure is reported this morning of two Stock Exchange operators, who had large speculative ac counts open in railways. torn is quiet, at previous rates. Consols are quiet at 9* to 93 for money and account ; New and Reduced Three per Cents., 93a to 935 ; India Five per Cents., 112 to 1125 ; Bank Stock, 249 to 251 ; Exchequer Bills, lls to 15s prem.

In foreign railways the only change is an advance of 1 in Lombardo-Venetian, which are quoted at 15i to 15g .

Anglo-American Telegraph, 192 to 194 ex div. ; Atlantic Telegraph, 8 per cent., 51 to 5 ; Hudson's Bay, 141 to 144 ; London General Omnibus, to 2. The traffic receipts of the Great Central of Belgium Railway for the week ending the 281 h ult. amounted to £9,067 Os 2d, comparing with £7,434 83 9cl 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 Atessrs. Murcott, Wright, and Co., of Lanesfield Ironworks, Spring Vale, near Wolverhampton. The establishment consists of forty furnaces and six mills. 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 as 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 an assignment to trustees, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to secure for the creditors." The sus pension is attributed to losses by breakages of machinery, the works being old, and 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 Reuter's Telegram Company 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 16th 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 aih'ition thereto parti -4.--ipation 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 100,000,000 francs, or £4,000,000 sterling. Madrid telegrams, dated yesterday, the 26th inst , state that the new Minister of Finan ce , M. Sanche.7, Ocana, is preparing a bill for the establishment of a land or foncier bank. It is now stated that M. Pr6iny 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 P°o 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 flortgage debt, w hi c h i n S pa i n i s a l ways registered, very great. An official return made up t o th e a e t u d of 1865 state s th e aggrega t e a t £ 60,000,000 er liog and it has been since very consid era bl y J l ereased. The high rate of interest arising from the s hort of capital compels proprietors to borrow for 3 u°l tperiod s only. It is held, therefore, that loans \ read over longer periods than three or four years i t ° lila not only yield good returns, but would tend to t i l erease the value of the land and improve its cultiva ,run,. Hence the ministerial support accorded to this 4 ° Ject of a Land Bank, and there seems to be no a son to doubt that it will soon be established.

(Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) PEACOCK AND PEAKE V. LOWE AND LOWE. 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 IRISH 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—(2 his Day.) CORN, The general tendencies of the market are not materially changed. Arrivals of English grain are light, and of foreign modertte. 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 *as 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 cargoes have sold at 34s 6d to 35a 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. SUGAR.—The market is steady, with a moderate in quiry. COFFEE is unaltered in value, and in fair demand. TEA.—China teas are in moderate request, at late rates. TALLOW.

THE DISPUTED RACE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH—Tins 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-1 don't mean by words; but did he ever go so near him as to give him an inti mation that he was going to start Witness—No, my lord ; ho never went withi❑ fifty yards of him. 1 was in the boat at Mortlake after Kelley had rowed over the course ; but 1 heard nothing about any inquiry being made about the manner in which the match had been rowed. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ba,llantine—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. ILL 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 posi tion of both men When the alleged start took place ? Witnes.s.—About 50 yards ahead. Lord Chief Justice—That would have made a difference with respect to the race ? IVitness—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 circumstauczs. Mr. Herbert Pla3ford---.I 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, how du watermen. start for a match when no starter is appointed. Witness-Always by trying to get an advan tage over their opponent. (Load laughter.) Lord Chief Justice—That is not the question. \\ram uo starter is appointed do they start them selves? itness—Yes, they do, my lord. I saw the men on both the 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. He then stopped and went to the umpire'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 jers e ys. for them to By yl\lr Garth, do s . 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 would understand that movement to be au 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 wai 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 wore. 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 ? " lie said, " I can't get Sadler to start. Bush said " Then you go over the course without him." Mr. Biffin said " Kelley, if Sadler won't start, you start with ou t hi m, b ut b e sure an d t e ll him." I said, Mr. Biffin you have no right to tell Kelley to start with ou t h i s telling t h e ot h er man . M r . Biflin said I a m 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 theywere doing but could not. After these direction from Mr. Biffin, Kelley rowed d own the river, and I saw hi s b oat come back. N e i t h er I nor the re f eree h a d an y means of seein g whether Kelley ever told Sadler to start. When K e ll y started the water was lumpy, an d the steamers were all higgledy-piggledy, and the river was then not in a fair state for men to row in. I never heard that Mr. Biffin made any inquiries whether Kelley had given the message to Sadler. I protested at M or tl a k e a ninst the stakes being given to Kelly, at which place Mr. Biffin accorded them to him, into a boat Before Kelley started to row over the course I suggested to Mr. Biffi n to ge t and go and tell Sadler that he said he could not do so. I have known men to row in jersey s , but I have never rowed for the championship i n one. The co l d would i nter f ere with a man if he was weak in the chest. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l firmly believe that Sadler intended to row on the occasion. Ile never said a word about going to a doctor. I never heard Foster say a word about his not rowing. • Lord Chief Justice —In starting for watermens' wagers, is it necessary for both men to be alongside each other ? Witness—Yes, my lord ; certainly. George Hammertoe--one of her Majesty's water men," coach"—(laughter)—on th n of the match. H e was in good condition, to row on both days. I could se e ever ythi ng th a t eoc c said , asi I was Sad ler' 8 took place at the starting place. S a dl er a tt em pt e d to start by taking a stroke, but Kelley remained stationary. He never put the sculls into the water to make a stroke. Kelley could have started at that time had he liked to have lost ground. On the second attempt to start Sadler acted as on the first occasion. The water was quite smooth. ',Sadler was on the Surrey side of the water, on which side 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 f e lt c hill y a t b e i ng j k e p waitin g so long, and I a d v i se d hi m to put hi s could have ro we d very we ll i u kept et yon. ie it, and I intended him to do so. There was no Other reason but to prevent chill 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 not 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 Druitt. 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 steamers had gone up, and Sadler's boat would have been swamped had he done so. When our boat rowed to Mortlake we heard the stakes had been awarded to Kelley. Cross-examined by Serjeant Ballantine—l never heard Kelley called out to Sadler about his hum bugging him, and that if he started then he would foul him (Kelly) 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 my oath that Kelley was not within 30 yards of Sadler when he started, or that he ever called out to him that he was going then to row the match. Re-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 Ballantine—Oh, my lore, that was an accidental one, and the race was in consequence ordered to be rowed again. William Rednap, one of the crew of Sadler's cutter, said he had heard Hammerton's evidence, and he agreed with it entirely. Robert Hillyer, another of the crew of the same boat, agreed in opinion with the last - witness. Sergeant Ballantine said he should not cross examine the witnesses on the point whether any communication was mule 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 he must have seen or heard it. The c Ise is not expected to conclude to-day. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1868. SHARE LlST.—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Railways.

Colonel TAYLOR moved the issuing of a new writ for the northern division of Northamptonshire in the room of Mr. George Ward Hunt, who since his election has accepted the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer. THE MINISTRY.—FURTHER ADJOURN - MENT OF THE HOUSE. Lord STANLEY said that in consequence of his right hon. friend, now First Lord of the Trea sury, being still in attendance on her Illajesty, at Osborne, he had to ask for a further adjourn ment of the house until Thursday next. Comparing the time that was usually occupied in the construc tion or reconstruction of a _Ministry, that period was not an unnecessarily long one ; he, there fore, had to move that the house at its rising do adjourn until Thursday next. He would also now give an answer to the question the hon. gentleman the member for Cork had put to him the other evening, and he had to inform him that Government would give him a day upon which he could bring forward his motion relative to the condition of Ireland. He could not then fix the precise date, but on Thursday next that date would be given. All he could say was that it was desirable that the question should be discussed as early as possible. Mr. GLA DSTONE said he could not assent to the opinion of the noble lord that it was usual, under the cir cumstances ho had stated, to ask the House to suspend its sittings for a period of ten days ; if it was so, he was mis taken. Ho did not object to the proposal of the noble lord, but he thought it ought to be put upon record that it was only done on special grounds. The necessary absence of the noble earl from town had no lessened the gravity of the Irish motions which stood for consideration, and feeling the gravity of the questions of Irish policy which would have to be considered by her Majesty's Government, he freely and cheerfully, but on special grounds, agreed to the propcsal of the noble lord, after which he hoped they would at once approach the consideration of public bush.ess, which promised to be severe, and which was already a month later than usual. The motion of the noble lord was then agreed to. PUBLIC SCHOOLS BILL. In reply to an Hon. Member, Mr. WALPOLE said that on Thursday next he pro posed to go into committee pro forma, and then he would state the course that was intended to be adopted. COAL AND WINE DUTIES CONTINUANCE BILL.
