~_ - 1. ,✓:- t MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL IN CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed 11141 Y, and prices of all descriptions were un changed. The sales were estimated. at 8,000 to 8 )000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for exp ort, and 2,000 on speculation. The Railway Share M arket was quiet, and prices were rather firmer. Letters from the manufacturing districts generally d escribe b us i ness as b e i ng dull, and some of the ma nufacturers are working " short time." I.

One very favourable feature is the diminished inquiry for silv er ° n Indian and Chinese account, which will lst only tend t o b ene fit the Money Market, but e be the means of retaining in this country the greater portion of the forthcoming gold supplies. e S tock of bullion in the Bank is steadily in inea4ing, the whol e of the gold by the Anglesea Ste d of bein4 transmitted to the Continent, as anti cipated, has been sold to the authorities, and lar g e remittances from Australia, and a fair a mount of silver from Mexico are com i ng gol, Ward. Hence a confident feeling prevails regard bg the future movemen t s o f specie, which hitherto i re retard e d i mprovemen t a n d caused alarm ; and a t he pressure f or di scoun t could only be lightened, the amelioration would no doubt soon occur. t " event of any such change for the better a ste ady resi s t an c e m u s t b e g i ven to new speculative cu t" th t• Prise, and, above all, to the efforts made by Partisans of Russia connected with the great railway scheme, which, although hitherto unsuc :BBl.4ll the public may be sure will not be perm itted ° Pass into oblivion. ° l 3- Saturday a further sum of about 35,0001. was t aken into the Bank of England. _tiast w ee k th e i mpor t s of specie amounted to a bout 320,000/. ; and the exports, so tar as could 41 ascertained, were 77,0001.

From our own grazi , :ig districts, the arrivals of beasts, fresh up, were tolerably good, both as to number and quality. Althoug' u the attendance of butchers was rather numerous, the 'aeef trade ruled dull, at a decline in the prices really' on Monday last, of 2d. per 81bs. The highest qr.otation for Scots - was 4s 103 per 81bs. The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Can bridgeshire, amounted to 2,000 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of England, 3,000 of various breeds; from Scotland, 3,030 Scots ; and from Ireland, 100 oxen. We were fairly supplied with sheep, and most breeds came to baud in good saleable condition. The mutton trade was in a sluggish states, at last Monday's declino in value—the top figures for Downs, in the wool, being ss. 103. per Sibs. We were tolerably well supplied with lambs , which sold steadily, at full prices,—viz., ss. 6d. t o 6s. 44. 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 place in their value. We had a dull sale for pigs, at last week's currency.

Moc r , Bart., Alderman Law rence, Sheriffs Messrs. Mechi aid Keats, and the Under- Sheriffs. The Recorder in charging Lb e grand jury said he was sorry to say that the calendar• this session presented a large number of cases of the rre ost serious character. He was sorry to find that there vase a great increase in the crime of burglary, the calendebr containing 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 manslan ghter. The first case of mur der was that ofa prisoner narc ed May, who was engaged on board ship, and the deceased I, a corporal, had been fcund ' stabbed. Several persons : well as the prisoner were standing by at the time the prisoner was taken into custody, and he did not del iy the charge that had bean made against him. The gr Ind jury would have to see whether there was sufficie at evidence to put the pri soner on his trial. The sec and case was that of Trigg, who was charged with haviing 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 evidonce that would be placed be fore them, they would have to say whether there was any doubt as to placing this per: on on his trial. The third case was that of Eliza Higgine; duxing 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 cl ssely 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 her, 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, an 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. Cl ark and Rosa Bush, were charged with falsely inducing a girl under 21 years of age to leave her father's house for im moral purposes, and also a person named Edam 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 ties meaning of the act of Pnrlia meat then they would return true 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 NEGLEQT.—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, Shored itch,) 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 he did not take pro per care of the child be should call the attention of the police to his conduct. He told the prisoner he was starving 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 had seen the father twice during the eight months. The rest of the family appeared to be well fed and clothed. He was pre 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 ho was not doing se, and that he was well fed, but that, is consequence of his dirty habits, he couli not allow him to sit at the same table with the other children. The mother of the boy, he believed, had lately become a❑ 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 du,t•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 9LII of Feb ruary he went to the house of the prisoner. He neither saw the prisoner nor 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 impo3sible 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 mthorities, 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 flats boy was stripped. He was in a shocking state, He par ticularly remarked that the nails were growing into his toes. Benjamin Lettis, wardsman, stated that he received the boy at the workhouse. On undressing him to &ice him in a bath he had all the appearanca of a starved monkey. The body was covered with vermin, and in consequence of the irritation he had scratched himself into boles. Joshua Adam, 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 ftoin his sides. He believed the boy was a person of weak intellect, but not an idiot ; that he had been brought into the condition that had led to this inquiry ti:r.;7k;tl pr a't .!nri rr. :.

Mr. Ribton, 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 fo)tunately 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 lunatic asylum. In consequence of her peculiar ideas, she bad allowed the boy—who, it was admitted, was a person of weak intellect to get into the condition he had d ne, and it was unjust to the prisoner at the bar, who, it had also been proved, was nearly always from home, to say that it was with his knowledge and consent that the Loy bad been neglected. The Recorder having summed up the evidence, The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The prisoner was then discharged. NEW COURT. 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 into his service in consequence of the excellent charaoter 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. Prom inquiries he had since made, he discovered she was a person that ought not to hay() 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 ebe 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 these she absented herself from the house. She had been in 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 1,500,000/., on which a loss bad 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 2,415/. 4s. 10d. It was the opinion of the direc tors that it would at present be undesirable to diminish the 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, 1850, 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 speechesof Mr. Mechi, and Mr. Deputy Bower. A vote of thanks was accorded to the directors and officers of the company. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. LALLINASLOE FAIR. The great May fair of Ballina4oe 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 Dublin markets are becoming easier, except for corn, which owes its firmness mainly to the unseasonable spring months. SPORTING NOTES. --4-- PAST AND ru r -amE. The lsst Scene of dl code the :-it ange history of the Roodee Revels will be played out this ahcrnoon 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. Swindells, Mr. Spittle, Mr. E. Parr, and Mr. T. Hughes, and the parts which were allotted to them were most profitable. About 60,000/. will be shared amongst them, the owner of the horse perhaps netting the smallest amount, for 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 2,6151. 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 an na l s o f rac i ng. Then the extra ordinary Circumstance of the first and second numbers, on drawieg lots for places, falling to Leamington and Dulcamara, furnished an interesting topic of conversa tion. Fordham has ridden three seconds for the Chester Cup three years in succession, viz., on Mortimer, Yellow Jack, and Drumour ; and like John Peerybingle, 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 has run second for great races would be enough to dis 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 perform. ance with Gemma di Vergy on the Tuesday, and by his race for the cup, and if the report be true which states that dr. Howard has one 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 the strength to finish with ; still at home he rode Dulca mara in all his trials, and it is said that scarcely a private spin takes place at Woadyates 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 wanted 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 71bs. and a beating. No signs of the mare's return to favour have yet been made. The ugly camel shaped Loyola 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 ment 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 Shrewbury 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 monstre 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-morrow until two o'clock, Metro• politan turfites will, therefore, have ample time to reach Shrewsbury by the morning express trains. Should Saunterer be brought out for the Salopian Biennial Stakes, the race would excite considerable in terest. His " .51bs 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 front the Cleveland 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. It is distinguished by that accuracy and copiousness of information which marked the pre ceding parts, and it has now become a widely desiderated book of reference. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE RACES—Jim 24.

If instead of belonging to her 'Majesty's Government, and being navigated by officers of the Royal navy, the vessels had been private property, and employed as steam transports, I should like to know what amount of pay would have been stopped from the unfortunate owners, and whether the most ingenious special plead kg as to "blowing off pipes" and "Kingston valves" would have saved them from the heavy "mulcts" to which they would have been inevitably subjected by big wigs at the Admiralty."
