Ec eadful oc" s'~ MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCF. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed firmly, and prices of all descriptions were un changed. The sales were estimated at 8,000 to 2,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export, and 2,000 on speculation. The Railway Share Market was quiet, and prices were rather firmer. Letters from the manufacturing dist' jets generally describe business as being dull, and some of the manufacturers are working " short time." Since the payments of the 4th inst., the relief which was expected in the Money Market has not been experienced, and, if anything, the course Pursued by the Bank has increased the stringency. The demand for accommodation at the present moment, however, is scarcely so u r g en t as it has been, and, judging from concurrent circumstances a nd probable contingencies, there is likely to be some further abatement ; although an alteration in the rates may be deferred. One very favourable feature is the diminished inquiry for silver on Indian and Chinese account, which will not only tend to benefit the Money Market, but also be the means of retaining in this country the greater portion of the forthcoming gold supplies. The stock of bullion in the Bank is steadily in creasing, the whole of the gold by the Anglesea instead of being transmitted to the Continent, as a nticipated, has been sold to the authorities, and large remittances from Australia, aud a fair amount of. silver from Mexico are coming forward. Hence a confident feeling prevails regard ing the future movements of specie, which hitherto have retarded improvement and caused alarm ; and if the pressure for discount could only be lightened, a Marked amelioration would nc doubt soon occur. In the event of any such change for the better a Steady resistance must be given to new speculative e nterprise, and, above all, to the efforts made by t he partisans of Russia connected with the great railway scheme, which, although hitherto ensue ceaful, the public may be sure will not be permitted to pass into oblivion. On Saturday a further sum of about 35,0001. w as taken into the Bank of England. Last week the imports of specie amounted to about 320,0001. ; and the exports, so far as could be ascertained, were 77,000/. The steamer Arabia, from New York, brings $1,032,212 in specie, of which $580,833 are for Liverpool, and $150,248 for London. The market for English Securities opened buoy antly, and speculation for a rise continues. The large specie remittance from America, and the favourable change in the weather, have strengthened the upward tendency. Consols for transfer have been 63 4 91, and 93 94. For the account they have been 9 4 i• The present quotations are 91,-1 -'4 and 94k 1 r espectively, being flat.

The Railway Share Market has been very quiet, and an extremely limited business bas been done. Prices generally exhibited rather a downward ten dency when compared with Saturday's closing a t ". Caledonian, Great-Northern, Great- Western, North-Western, and Oxford, Wor oyster, and Wolverhampton, have each declined - about 55., and South Western 10s. Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee, and Mid land were firmer, being about ss. higher, and Manchester Sheffield, and Lincoln improved The French lines are inactive. Paris and Lyons and Northern of France are ss. to JOS. cheaper, and Great Wes' ern of Canada about B s. Grand Trunk of Canada, Great Luxembourg, East Indian, and Geelong and Melbourne are at st eady quotations. In Mining Shares there is no variation to re- P o rt ; no business of any importance having been ransacted. Joint Stock Bank Shares are inactive. L'indon Chartered of Australia, Ottoman Bank, and West ern Bank of London are a shade higher. 111 the Miscellaneous Undertakings only a few dealings are re p or t e d. P en i nsu l ar an d O r i en t a l Stearn° have improved about 11., and North of Eur ope Steam declined 11. 88t1431i FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLO(Itt.

There was much less activity in the demand for wheat in the leading country markets held on Saturday. Prices, however, were slightly on the advance. Barley, and most other articles of grain, moved off steadily, and the quota tions were well supported. Most of the Continental markets have ruled firm for wheat, and prices have had an upward tendency. The Western markets have been dull, and the shipments from the United States continue only moderate. Tho receipts of English produce up to our market, last week, were limited. The imports were only 2,920 quar ters of wheat, 8,005 barley, 2,102 oats, 100 tares, 330 linseed, 20 rapeseed, 45 sundry seeds, and 10 sacks of flour. The supply of wheat received fresh up to-day from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land carriage, was very moderate ; brit, as over 1,030 quarters were on offer the refuse of Friday, the show of samples was seasonably good. Owing to the favourable change in the weather, and to numerous vessels laden with grain having passed the Sound, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home pro duce ruled heavy; and, in some instances, prices were nominally is to 2s per quarter lower than on Monday last. The failure of a miller engaged in the town trade was reported this morning. The liabilities are not heavy. We were fairly supplied with most kinds of foreign wheat, in which only a limited business was doing, at barely stationary prices. Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper. Fine barley sold, to a fair extent, at full currencies; but inferior parcels commanded only a limited inquiry. Malt was in good supply, and heavy request, at barely stationary prices. Fine sound oats were rather dearer. Other kinds ruled steady. The few beans in the market changed hands freely, and prices were the turn higher. Peas sold steadily at last week's quotations. Thera was only a limited inquiry for flour. In prices, however, very little change took place. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbourn.) IN RE LEOPOLD REDPATEL-THE FRAUDS ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. To-day was appointed for an Audit meeting., under the estate of this bankrupt, who has been convicted of very extensive frauds on the Great Northern Railway company. Mr. Lawrence appeared for the assignees and said that there was a sum of about 15,000/ in the hands of the official assignee, and the rest of the estate was beirg rapidly realized. Irs Honour asked whether the Crown had interfered, as the bankrupt had been convicted. Mr. Lawrence said it had not, as the bankruptcy took place before the conviction. His Honour considered the Crown hart the right. Mr. Lawrence Raid it had no doubt as to real pro perty, but where the right was exercised the property was generally given back again—it was a mere exercise of right. Mr. Lawrence then applied for an order for the ply meat of 3,4001. which bad been advanced by the Great Northern Railway Company to dear off some securities o❑ the bankrupt's property which had been made seen rity for a loan by the Ucion Bank to the bankrupt. The order was made. The assets will be sufficient to clear all the ordinary debtg, but it is expected there will be a heavy claim by the Railway Company. The dividend meeting Irill not take place at present. CRIMINAL COURT—(ibis Day.) OLD COURT. The May Sessions of the Central Criminal Court opened this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Re corder, Alderman Sir G. Moon, Bart., Alderman Law rence, Sheriffs Messrs. Mechi ar,d Keats, and the Under- Sheriffs. The Recorder in charging the grand jury said he was sorry to say that the calendar this session presented a large number of cases of the most serious character. He was sorry to find that there was a great increase in the crime of burglary, the calendar containi❑g no less than 19 cases, although so short a time had elapsed since the sitting of the court. There were also also three cases of murder, and two of manslaughter. The first case of mur der was that ofaprisonernamed May, who was engaged on board ship, and the deceased, a corporal, had been fc und stabbed. Several persons as well as the prisoner were standing by at the time the prisoner was taken into custody, and he did not deny the charge that had been made against him. The grand jury would have to see whether there was sufficient evidence to put the pri soner on his trial. The second case was that of Trigg, who was charged with having stabbed a man with a sword. The deceased was the landlord of certain Louses in Caledonian road, and the prisoner was one of his tenants. From the evidence that would be placed be fore them, they would have to say whether there was any doubt as to placing this person on his trial. The third case was that of Eliza Higgins; during the time the prisoner was an inmate of a workhouse she was delivered of a child, which was seen in her possession ; but, on its being missed, she told different tales on being closely ques tioned, and eventually the body of the child was dis covered lying in an area, with an extensive fracture of the skull. They would hear from the medical gentle. man that the cause of death was the fracture of the skull; and if they should be satisfied that there was sufficient evidence, they would return a true bill of wilful murder against him, the petty jury having the power to return a verdict for a minor offence if they thought proper. The next case he had to direct their attention to was the charge against Catharine Colson and John Walsh. The deceased had been in a house of bad repute, he was afterwards found near the house, and, in conse quence of being assaulted by the prisoners, he fell into the river. They would have the whole of the witnesses before them, and if they were of opinion that the death of the deceased was caused by one or both of the pri soners charged, they would return a true bill accord ingly. There was also a serious charge against a woman named Rebecca Haliday, for sending letters of a horrible description for the purpose of extorting money. The letters would be submitted to them, and if they were satisfied that the object of the prisoner was to extort money they would return a true bill against the pri soner for the felony. Two prisoners, G. Clark and Rosa Bush, were charged with falsely inducing a girl under 21 years of age to leave her lather's house for im moral purposes, and also a person named Erlam was charged with persuading a girl under 14 years of age also to quit her parent's roof ; if the evidence that was laid before them was, in their opinion, sufficient to bring the prisoners within the meaning of the act of Parlia meat then they would return tree bills against them for misdemeanour. With these few observations he dis missed them to their duties. He did not expect any legal difficulty would arise, but if such should be the case the Court would be happy to afford them every assistance. The grand jury then retired. ALLEGED WILFUL NEGLECT.—A middle aged man named Williams, a clerk of the Post-office was indicted for neglecting to provide proper food and nutriment for his son. _ Mr. Sleigh (instructed by the parish authorities of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch,) appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoner. Mr. Sleigh, in opening the case, delivered at length the facts which have already appeared in The San. It will be recollected that the prisoner was a clerk in the General Post-office, and the boy in question was his son. The unfortunate child had been so neglected that the attention of the parish authorities had been drawn to it, and they had instituted the present proceedings. William James Lewis stated that he was the landlord of a public-house in Bridport-place, Hoxton. The pri soner was in the employ of the Post-office, and rented the house adjoining his. About 12 months ago his attention was attracted to the child in consequence of his vacant appearance, and from that time he had closely noticed him. He had frequently seen the child picking the vermin from its person and killing them, and he at last presented such a loathsome appearance that he spoke to the prisoner and told him that if be did not take pro per care of the child he should call the attention of the police to his conduct. He told the prisoner he was starvin the child, but this he denied, and, said that when he was at home the child always had a dinner. He said he could not allow the boy to sit at the same table with him in consequence of his dirty habits. The mother of the boy, it had been rumoured, was insane. George Clayton, the potman of the last witness, said he had been in the service of the last witness about 12 months. Eight months ago he noticed the child in a very dirty state, and he continued to get worse and weaker during the whole of the time. He hal seen the father twice during the eight months. The rest of the family appeared to be well fed and clothed. He was pr:.- sent when his master told the prisoner he was trying to starve the child to death, and told him he had been to the parish authorities about him. The prisoner said he was not doing se, and that he was wilt fed, bnt that, in consequence of his dirty habits, he coull not &low him to sit at the same table with the other children. The mother of the boy, he believed, had lately become an inmate of a lunatic asylum. William Aubery said he was a builder, and from op. portunities that had occurred, he had frequently seen the boy go to the dust-bin and rout about for bits to ap pease the cravings of hunger. Richard Ridley Barclay said he was the relieving officer of St. Leonards, Shoreditch. On the 9th of Feb ruary he went to the house of the prisoner. He neither saw the prisoner or the boy, but on the following day he found the boy in the front kitchen. He was sitting in a chair before a very small fire, and was in a very sad state. On proceeding to the boy's bedroom the stench was so great that it was impossible for some time to enter it, but on going in it was found in the most filthy description ; the boards were quite black with dirt, and the vermin was crawling about the place. He procured a cab and re moved the boy to the workhouse. On getting him there he was stripped, and in addition to the vermin his body was found to be covered with sores. The father of the boy was summoned before the parish authorities, and they, not being satisfied with the explanation given by him, had instituted the present proceedings. police-Constable 43 M. said he was present when the boy was stripped. He was in a shocking state. He par ticularly remarked that the nails were growing into his toes. Benjamin Lettis, wardeman, stated that he received the boy at the workhouse. On undressing him to place him in a bath he had all the appearance of a starved monkey. The body was covered with vermin, and in consequence of the irritation he had scratched himself into holes. Joshua Adams, the barber to the workhouse, said on cutting the hair off the top of the head he found it in a very dirty state, but the back part was an inch thick ' with vermin. Dr. James Clark, medical officer of the workhouse, stated that the boy in question when he first received him under his care was in a very filthy state. His body was in an emaciated state. The ribs stood out in relief from his sides. He believed the boy was a pen = of weak intellect, but not an idiot ; that he had been brought into the condition that had led to this inquiry through tke want of proper attention and nourishment. When he first arrivcd at the workhouse be weighed 6,t. 21b. He had proper food administered to him, and his present altered appearance was the result. He had not given him any medicine. He now weighed 7st. 41b. Mr. Ribt on, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, said he was a clerk in the Post-office, and this occupa tion necessarily called him much from home. Un fortunately for him, his wife had been for a length of time of very eccentric habits, and lately it had been necessary to send her to a lunkitic asylum. In courequenee of her peculiar ideas, she had allowed the boy— who, it was admitted, was a person cf weak intellect to get into the condition he had &we, and it was unjust to the prisoner at the bar, who, it bad also been proved, was nearly always from home, to say that it was with his knowledge and consent that the toy bad been neglected. The R-corder having summed up the evidence, The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The prisoner was then discharged. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The total imports of foreign stock into London last week were 1,213 head. In the corresponding week in 1856 we received 272 ; in 1855, 2,031; in 1854, 898 ; in 1853. 3,401; in 1852, 1,993; in 1851, 2,893; and in 1850, 1,376 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST Wzllll.

From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts, fresh up, were tolerably good, both as to number and quality. Although the attendance of butchers was rather numerous, the beef trade ruled dull, at a decline in the prices realised on Monday last, of 2d. per 81bs. The highest quot Alen :or Scots was 4s 105 per 81bs. The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, amounted to 2,0C3 Scots and short horns ; from other pasts of England, 3,030 of various breeds; from Scotland, 3,000 Scots ; and from Ireland, 100 oxen. We were fairly supplied with sheep, and most breeds came to band in good saleable condition. The mutton trade was in a sluggish states, at last Mnday's decline in value—the top figures for Downs, in the wool, being ss. 101. per 81bs. We were tolerably well supplied with lambs, which sold steadily, at full prices, —viz., ss. Gd. to 6s. 4d. per 81bs. About 300 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. Calves—the show of which was limited—moved off slowly, but no quotable change took pla3e in their value. We had a dull sale for pigs, at last week's currency.

Elizabeth Brett was indicted for stealing a quantity of silver plate, sheets, bedding, and wearing apparel, the property of Mr. Staniland, a solicitor. The prosecutor stated that in November last he took the prisoner ink) his service in consequence of the excellent charger he reeeived with her. She had been in his service but a month when she commenced robbing him in a most wholesale manner. She had carried her system of robbery to such an extent that, after having taken the last article of plate in the house to the pawnbrokers, she absconded. The husband of the prisoner, the prosecutor stated, was a policeman, and it was in consequence of his statements that he had taken her into his service. From inquiries he had since made, he discovered she was a person that ought not to have been permitted to enter any house that contained property to any value. He had placed implicit confidence in the prisoner. The Common Sergeant, to the prosecutor—How could ithe take all your plate without your discovering it ? Mr. Stanilands said he had only occasion to use a couple of spoons and prongs, and when the prisoner had pawned tbeee she absented herself from the house. She had been i❑ his service for about six months, and during the whole of that time, from the immense quantity of property found at different pawnbrokers, she must have been robbing him. The prisoner_ pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to six years' penal servitude. UNITY BANK.—(Meeting This Day.) The first annual meeting of the Unity Bank has just been held. Mr. Sheriff Mechi in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the bank had opened upwards of 1,400 accounts, discounted bills to the amount of 1,500,0001., on which a loss had accrued of only 1,1001., and after payment of current expenses, interest on deposit and current accounts, and making deduction for bad and doubtful debts, bad realised a net profit of 2,4151. 4s. 10d. It was the opinion of the direc tors that it would at present be undesirableto diminish tilt funds of the company by the payment of a dividend, but as the balance admits of 3 per cent, to the shareholders upon payments made by them up to the Ist May, 1856, it remained for the shareholders, having all the facts be fore them, to determine how the surplus should be dis posed of. The chief subject of discussion was the conduct of the late manager, Mr. Baylis, to whom the shareholders at tributed all their past difficulties. The report was well received, as was also the speeches of Mr. Mechi, and Mr. Deputy Bower. A vote of thanks was accorded to the directors and officers of the company. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. BALLINASLOE FAIR. The great May fair of Ballinasloe was held on Thursday and Friday. Upon the first day every thing sold well, and the graziers and dealers were perfectly satisfied, but on the second there was a falling off as compared with last year. This is ac counted for in a great measure by the late sales of stock at Finnure and Frenchbrook, and by exten sive private purchases in the county Clare of cattle usually sent to Ballinasloe.

The provincial accounts are fully as favourable as could be expected, and under the influence of the recent change there ap pears some prospect of a modification in the very high rates of provisions. The Dublin markets are becoming easier, except for corn, which owes its firmness mainly to the unseasonable spring months. IRISH SHIPPING.

PAST AND FUTURE. The last scene of all that ends the strange everstfall history of the Roodee Revels will be played out =this afternoon at the corner. The curtain will go down upon the settling, and I trust that the denouement may be satisfactory. The principal " performers" are Messrs. F. Higgins, the owner of Leamington, Mr.F. Mr. Spittle, Mr. E. Parr, and Mr. T. Hughes, and the parts which were allotted to them were most profitablo. About 66,000/. will be shared amongst them, the owner of the horse perhaps netting .the smallest amount,'io r he very prudently hedged his bets, and it is said that he gains only about 5,0001. in addition to the stakes which amount to 2,615/. There were many curious incidents connected with the Cup race. The steadiness of Leamington in the betting, and the growing confidence of his party, were almost •un• paralleled in the annals of racing. Then the extra. ordinary circumstance of the first and second numbers, on drawing lots for places, falling to Leamington and _ Dulcamara, furnished an interesting topic of converses Lion. Fordham has ridden three seconds for the Chests& Cup three years in succession, viz., on Mortimer, Yellow Jack, and Drumour ; and like John Peerybiugle, who was always very near saying a good thing, Mr. Howard. has for the last two years been very near achieving a "good thing," and the number of times which he hail run second for great races would be enough to di,. courage any owner of horses possessing less pluck. It is a long lane, however, that has no turning. Drumour proved himself to be a good horse, both by his p er f orra , ante with Gerntna di Vergy on the Tuesday, and by hi s race for the cup, and if the report be true which states that Mr. Howard has ens 71b. better in the Derby, then we may expect to see the triumph of the black jacket and orange cap en Epsom Downs. The defeat of Dulcamara has been attributed to the Tom Thumb• like jockey that was placed on his back. The poor little fellow rode the horse admirably, but he lacked Von strength to finish with ; still at home he rode Duica. mare in all his trials, and it is said that scarcely a private spin takes place at Woodyates without little Adams being on the winner. Leamington met with neither accident nor disappointment in any part of the race. He was fortunate in being able to keep his place, and in finding neither let nor hindrance when he minted to " come." Drumour and Dulcamara, had their legs much cut about, and both Peeping Tom and Turbit were forced on to the rails. The minor races at Chester were remarkable for their close and exciting " finishes." They, however, were marked by no incident that will cause them to be long remembered. The Dee Stakes, however, exer cised a perceptible influence over the Derby betting►, It brought Strathnaver into prominent notice and did not even diminish the partiality which is in certain quarters entertained for Wardermarske whom many persons be.. lieve would have won had he not been obstructed by the riderless Glede Hawk. It is said that early in the year Blink Bonny was tried with Strathnaver, and that she gave him 7lbs. and a beating. No signs of the mare's return to favour have yet been made. The ugly cared. shaped Luyola may be now considered quite disposed of, And his running would indicate that Vedette and Anton are not very first-class animals after all. Taking the Two Thousand as a criterion, I shall be disinclined to place much faith in Skirmisher, if he be, as report states, 7 lbs. inferior to Vedette. SO far as the actual business was concerned, the meet ing at Chester was most satisfactory, and the establish. ,vent of a new race for the Friday next year will impart Additional strength to the attractions. I trust, however, the absurdly late hour fixed upon each day for the com mencement of sport will not for the future be adhered to. Mr. John Frail has issued his address for Shrewbnry and Ludlow, and the number of his supporters is not likely to be diminished. Manchester on this occa sion only offers a counter-attraction in its Exhibition of Art Treasures, and not as last year in its races. Mr. Frail may, therefore, calculate upon a rnonstre gathering. A telegraphic message informs me as I write that rain is falling heavily at Shrewsbury, and that it is producing a most beneficial effect upon the course. The racing will not commence to-marrow until two o'clock, Metro. oolitan tarfites will, therefore, have ample time to reach Threwsbury by the morning express trains. Should Saunterer be brought out for the Salopian Biennial Stakes, the race would excite considerable in terest. His " Sibs extra" would offer no bar to his suc cess, if, indeed, he has improved on his two-yrs-old form, and be worth the support which he has received for the Derby. In his absence I shall look to Lambourne to pull through. Dulcamara was so badly " cut about" at Chester, that his withdrawal from the Cleve!and Handicap is more than probable. Polestar ran sufficiently forward for the Cap, to induce me to trust her on this occasion. Com panion is the only three-year-old that, I fancy, has a chance of taking the shine out of her. Katherine Logie and The Little Cob are the most at tractive names amongst those appended to the Stewards' Cap. Vaulter may throw in for the Shropshire Handi cap. The other events will be so materially regulated by the result of preceding races, that it would be absurd to attempt to determine the issue. May 11. A FRESH MAN. FEIST'S RACING RECORD for the current month has been published.
