CITY, Two O'CLOCK. t Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market on Saturday closed quietly but firmly, and prices were unchanged for all descriptions. The sales were 6,000 bales. The Railway Share Ma rket was dull, and prices were slightly easier. The condition of trade in the manufacturing dis tricts of the North of England exhibits no symptoms (4 improvement. The high prices of the raw mate lials Combined with the dearness of money—two unfavourable influences we have often had to re fmark upon—check production and limit t he demand o r consumpti on . It is stated that weaving esta blishments in Manchester and Salford are on "s hort time," and in many other di stricts the ex -411:13.1e will b e immediately followed , w hile in Preston a 'Env of the largest concerns are closed. This must have le'dremely prejudicial effect upon tra de, and also upon the social condition of the operatives. Fail- U rea are of frequent occurrence, three having been announced last week, the principal of which was tha t of Messrs. Wolstencroft and Co ., of Middle i°ll, with li a biliti es of about 25,0 001 . At Hudders eld Messrs. Hastings Brothers have stopped for ab out 1 1,0001., and within the last few days Mr. alter Lod ge , o f the same place, has succumbed. These circumstances are very irreconcileable with the statement s so freely propagated, especially by th e Advocates of the Bank Charter Act, as to the anundness and prosperity of trade. c N otwithstanding the disappointment lately th allse d by the augmented export demand for silver, n 0 , general, prospects of the Money Market are fla a . , unfavourable, and it is sincerely hoped for the f `,• e of trade, and the prevention of commercial n aw-lr es, that they will soon afford some substantial rapid of improvement. Any sudden change or the amelioration cannot be anticipated, but as anu inquiry for discounts has abated, and there is absence of undue speculation in most depart ents, some relaxation in the terms of discount may soon take place. Extensive supplies of gold and silver are en route, and as a contradiction is Fiven to the rumours that the Bank of France intends Purchasing a large qu antity of the former, of the - it is thought that a further addi tiou of strength may be acquired by the Bank I)c England, the weekly returns from which esta 'ishment show a steady and satisfactory improve 11111t. The general state of the weather exerts a b eneficial influence, and the progress of the silk and e real crops throughout Europe is of such an en• e <niraging nature, that an average yield of all the Principal staples is predicted. These circumstances 4 course tend to promote confidence, but the ex lerience of the last few years has taught most ex *)ns interested in monetary affairs not to lac e too much faith in favourable indications, ce ause there are so many contingencies which may , y time occur to prevent an anticipated amend nest, Ile movement of the precious metals last week I ' 4 important.

There was an improved demand for wheat in the leading country markets held on Saturday, and prices were, in in some instances, is to 2s per quarter higher. - All spring corn moved off steadily, and the quotations were well supported. In flour only a limited business was passing. The continental markets have been firm for wheat, at full quotations. Barley and other articles have sold at extreme rates. Very moderate supplies of home-produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 4,765 quarters of wheat, 5,916 bailey, 15,798 oats, 935 beans, 2io tuns, 7,133 linseed, 5,839 rapeseed, 3,030 'lndian corn, and 103 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat received fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was very moderate, but in fair condition, compared with some previous weeks. As several large country millers were in attendance, the de mand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled bri-k, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2s per quarter, at which amount of improvement steady progress was made in effecting sales of both red and white qualities. The show of most descriptions of foreign wheat was tolerably gocd, yet the amount of business passing in it was rather extensive, at an improvement in value from is to 2s per quarter, compared with this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of grain were in request, and rather dearer. 11.1 12 11 9G 27 - 2 - The show of both English anal foreign barley was limited, and the barley trade ruled firm at fully last weak's currency. The malt trade was heavy, and late rates wore barely supported. Oats--the supply of which was very moderate—moved off steadily, at extreme rates. There was a fair demand for beans, at very full prices. Peas changed hands steadily, at late rates. We had a better demand for flour, awl country markets were rather dearer. LAW INT `ELLIGENCE.—;This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulfairn.) IN RE COPELAND AND BARNEC. These bankrupts were described as of Botolph-lane, provision merchant•, and to-day was appointed for their last examination which was adjourned, Messrs. Harding and Pullein, not having yet completed the acconnts. The debts are stated at 30,0001., assets about 6,000/. ..i - 2 •-• •.i 2 IN RE RIIDDLESTONE AND HIIDDLESTONE. These bankrupts were described as of Berners-street, Oxford-street, and to day was appointed for the choice of assignees, and two gentlemen who were trustees under a deed of assignment for the benefit of the creditors were chosen by the majority. His Honour refused to confirm the choice, on the ground that the trustees might be accounting parties to the estate. An adjournment until the meeting for the last txAmination took place. IN RN HALL. This bankrupt was described as of Gun court, Corn hill, East, merchant, and passed his last examination on accounts prepared by Messrs. Paul and Turner. The 'debts are put down :—To creditors, unsecured, 4,084/. ; ditto, secured, 6,354/. ; liabilities, 3041. ; Creditors, by cash, 11. 17s. 6d. ; debtors, 791. 1.9. 63. ; property, 159/. ; ditto, in bands of creditors, 7,9801. THE ATTEMPTED MURDER IN DAURY-LANE. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER TUISDAY. The greatest excitement prevailed in the neighbour hood of the Bow-street Police-court in consequence of its becoming known that the man Geary would be brought up for examination. At 1 o'clock the prisoner was conveyed across Bose-street, from the station-house to the police-court, amilet the groans and hisses of a large assemblage of people. The prisoner is a short, thick-set man, and does not exhibit the least appearance of a vicious disposition. The wounds he had inflicted on his neck had been dressed, but still, from' blood upon his person, he pre sented a very sickening spectacle. In answer to the questions of Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, the prisoner said his name was James Geary, that he was 23 years of age, and was an upholsterer's SPORTING NOTES. A DERBY PRELUDE. The interest and excitement created by the " open" character of the race for the Derby are rapidly ap proaching their culminating point. This afternoon the last meeting will take place at the Corner, and perhaps the last final movements of importance will be made in the Turf Market. Already are the principal Derby favourites located in the vicinity of the Downs, and great was the crowd assembled thereon this morning to witness them take their exercise. Sydney and Adamas seemed to have most pleased the cognoscenti. The latter, in particular, has won golden opinions, by his good looks, and sanguine expectations are entertained he will not lose them by his perform ance on Wednesday. Skirmisher holds his position with undiminished firmness, despite his somewhat "stale" kind of galloping, and the appearance which he presents of having suffered by- the severe ground. Tourranient and Anton grow in favour. John Scott, it is said, will be "among them" with Bird-in- Hand, whilst the "rolling" Zuyder Zee goes much better on the course than he does in the market. Sydney will he ridden by D. Hughes, and on Wednesday the much mooted question whether he be an over-rated horse or not will be for ever set at rest. Mystery still surrounds Mr. Jackson's lot. Saunterer it is expected will be his trusted representative, but many persons still cling to the belief that the white face of little Magnifier will show in advance of everything else started by the " coalition." M.D.'s coarse, dray-horse looks have made no very favourable impression, and Arsenal is not quite so steady in the market as his supporters could desire. Strathnaver seems to have quite superseded the disgraced Blink Bonny; and, if there be any truth in public running, he will inevitably obtain a forward position. Lady Hawthorn seems like the lady who had boils on her fingers and bells on her toes, for she makes music wherever she goes—music not quite pleasant to the ear of her backers. Still many people reject the report of her " whistling" as a weak invention of the enemy. I am collecting a mass of interesting information re specting the Derby, which, with an elaborate review of the chances, I shall place before the readers of The Sun to-morrow night. My present rough notes must be considered merely as a preliminary canter. I have ere now picked absolutely first second and third for the Derby, and if " I see my way clear," I shall be almost as fortunate on the presentioccasion. The programme for to-morrow, the "opening day," presents its usual " features," and promises an average supply of sport. I will briefly refer to the probabilities. Polly Peachum will, of course, add another item to her list of wins by carrying off the Woodcote Stakes. Fur the Rous Stakes, Kestrel and Sir Colin are the most noteworthy names ; either Huntington or Saxe Weimar may win the Manor Plate ; and the Heathcote Plate I assign to New Brighton. May 25. A FRESH MAN. DOINGS ON EPSOM DOWNS YESTERDAY 6 to 7 to 9 to 10 to 10 to 11 to 100 to 8 to 10 to 11 to 13 to 100 to 100 to MORNING. (From tire Sunday Times.) The morning dawned drearily, and rain fell with a dr'zz'ing persistency enough to discourage the molt ar dent admirer of horseflesh from visiting the Downs. Ours was almost the only " trap" on the road, and on reaching the Rubbing-house, only a tout or two, and about a dozen travel-stained tramps and gipsies, were to be seen. A driving mist obscured the landscape, and altogether, Rip Van Winkle's Sleepy Hollow, and his phantom skittle-players, must have presented a cheering scene, compared to that of which we were the spectators- As the morning advanced, however, the rain ceased, the mist rolled up out of the valleys, and the dark clouds were dispersed, and here and there bright patches of blue were unfolded. Long before this propi tious change in the weather took place, the select few who were kicking their heels about the sodden grass, had their curiosity excited. Descending into the valley, near Sherwood's house, were seen two white-sheeted horses, and within a short time afterwards they were seen can tering steadily, but slowly, round Tattenham-corner. All persons were on the tiptoe of expectation, and hopefully trusted that they were to see some real live Derby horse, and not a common Epsom plater. They were not disappointed, for as they approached the Grand Stand the big pulling Sir Colin was recog nised, and behind him was a horse, which, from the fact of Templeman's being up, every one knew to be M.D. They were accompanied by Mr. Parr, who rode side by side with them. Their first gallop served merely as a gentle pipe opener. Oa being pulled up they ‘a ere walked about quietly, and within half-an-hour afterwards they were again indulged in a " breather?' They started behind Sherwood's house, and galloped right over the old Derby course. Sir Colin led the way. At Tattenharn-corner, Templeman took a pull at M.D., and in crossing the road, let him get alongside Sir Colin, and the two galloped at an increased pace to the win ning chair. M.D. appeared a coarse large-boned horse, with good hind action ; but, whatever may be his merits, he certainly did not display much speed. He seemed to us to be somewhat slow, and about as unat tractive a horse as one would meet with in the course of the season. Although he galloped well, yet the impres sion made by his performance was certainly not favour able. When the horses were pulled up the second time, they were dismounted and led away, surrounded by a small crowd of people, eager to pick up any gape-seed which might fall in their way, and which, until that time, had not been plentifully scatteired. Mr. Parr's horses vere soon after led ary, and for nearly an hour the spectators were loft to their own re sources to find amusement. At abput nine o'clock, when the sun had began to impart genial warmth to the atmosphere, and when the pleasant brisk wind had dried the grass, strings of horses were observed in various directions approaching the Downs. By this time the muster of turfites had become very numerous, and a most lively interest was created by the coming animals. The first lot to show were nine of Mr. Mellieh's, and of those Adamas, who was in the centre, with a doughty attendant holding the leading rein, and mounted by Wells, was of course the observed of all observers. The most inveterate opponent of " platers" for a Derby was compelled to acknowledge that the horse was in admir able condition, and when he cantered, many persons who seemed inclined to pooh-pooh his pretensions were almost converted to the belief in the formidable charac ter of the chance. With neck extended, and tucking his hind legs under him, he went bowling along like a cricket-ball. His action was free and sweeping, and the horse seemed to settle down to his work with the greatest " kindness." Twice was he galloped steadily from the top of the bill, near Sherwood's house, over the Derby Course ; and after a requisite interval of rest he was sent merrily over the entire course, in com pany with Pauli Monti and Rotterdam. He pulled up as fresh almost as when he started, and amongst the many voices which were raised in his praise not a dis sentient one was heard. The success of Adamas would be a great triumph, both for Mr. Mellish and his trainer; and really, from the style in which the "cast off" did his work, and from his indisputably good looks, we are fain to share the sanguine expectations cf his owner. Between the intervals of Adamas's gallops Dusty Mil ler went, unaccompanied, over a portion of the course. He did not attract much attention ; he looked and gal loped well, but in our opinion it is every fraction of 1,000 to 10 against him. Three animals soon afterwards made their appearance. The middle one was a bright Chesnut, as " handsome as paint," bat with a certain roguish twitching of the ear and shaking of the head, which indicated an unsettled disposition. Accompanying them were Baron Roths child, a well known member of the ring, and Hayhoe, the trainer. When these personages were recognised, a general exclamation was raised of " Here comes Syd ney 1" And come, in truth , he did. He was accom panied by Tester and the Evening Star colt, and Reeve s s r on The Turk acted as a kind of avant-coarser. Sydnfeyaee coat shone so bright that you m i g ht almost see lyooouse and reflected in it, but still his flesh seemed to hang hardness. flabby about him. His condition betokenedbe well developed have rs W ou ld have been was not perceptible, a nd his -tiar a t h e hand, almost, as found as yielding t o the pressure those of a prize ox , at Christmas time. Not that the horse seemed either fat or short of work. He took a gentle canter from the Grand Stand to the top of the hill, and David Hughes shortly afterwards mounted him, to give a better spice of his quality. Th e y then q uitted the Derby Course, and proceeded to the " Six Mile Hill," where the turf was in capital condition. Hughes twice put him through his paces, a nd certainly no fault could be found with his style of going—so far as action was concerned. But he rolled his head about in a manner indicative of temper, and once or twice when " asked " to go near Tester he laid his ears back in a manner which would induce ns to be lieve that he will on occasions show the " white feather.' Still, despite these indications of a bad dispositions Sydney had many admirers, and good judges among them who unhesitatingly stick to him. The cause of Sydney's recent retrogression in the betting is to be traced to the fact of his having pulled up lame just before Newmarket. To-day he evinced no symptoms of lameness. Cori!), Zuyder Zee, and Skirmisher took their 'NA together. Zoyder Zee is a large horse, and net a ba goer—albeit he has a peculiar scratching way of using his hind legs. He wore dark stockings. Skirmishet looked in beautiful condition, and went strong and well. Still he did not seem to possess that " fire " which he showed at Doncaster, and moved in a manner which suggested the notion that he was somewhat stale. Avonford, Sweet William, and Bannockburn gallop ed on the " Six-mile Hill ;" we did not see them ; but if all we heard about Sweet William be true, the bet of 100 to I against his being one of the first three was a safe investment for the layer. _ _ Anton and others of John Day's were reported in the neighbourhood, but they had not made their appearance when we quitted the Downs. Neither could we stay long enough to obtain a peep at Saunterer, about whom all sorts of reports were circulated, some to the effect that he had done his work before four o'clock a,m., in order to disappoint the " early birds." Tournament was said to be at Leatherhead. John Scott's lot were in the same locality. Bird-in-the-Hand is se down by all who have seen him as a wretched goer ; and, in fact, a regular duffer. Still, it is asserted in well-in formed quarters that John Scott has sanguine expecta tions of repeating his Daniel O'Rourke achievement When we quitted the Downs, at ten o'clock, horses might be seen in all directions. Despite the rain the ground is still hard. TATTERSAJAVS - SATURDAT. DEMIST. 1 agst Lord Zetland's Skirmisher 1 agst Mr. J. S. Douglas's Tournament (taken 1 agst Mr. F.

At the West Bromwich Petty Sessions on Satur day last John Wardle, a collier, was again placed in the dock, charged with sending the followin threatening letter to the Duchess of Kent : " West Bromwich, May 11. " To the Right Honnorable Sir George Gray i wish you would be so kind as to wright to the Duches of Kent and ask hir if she whill be so kind as send me five hun dred Pound and i whill tiouble hir no more but if not she will repent when it is to late be so kind as a nswer by the 21 or it whill be to late i remane your homble servent till deth "JOHN WARM]; Hanget Lace." Colonel Hogg, chief constable of Staffordshire, stated the prisoner hail previously sent a similar letter to her Majesty. Prisoner had been in cus tody now for upwards of a week, and had been seen every day by J. N. Kyte, Esq., surgeon to the police force, who could give evidence if ne cessary. He (witness) held in his handastatement, a very long sta tement written by the prisoner, who had expressed his willingness that the magistrates should peruse it if they thought fit. Carey Knyvett, Esq., from the Home-office, s tated that he had seen other letters Inn thet the llom e Home office in the same handwriting and the prisoner, but had not opened them himself. name of The case being proved, the prisoner, in reply, re marked that he in public wished the magi s t r ate to read his statement. Mr. Solley—Then do you deny Fending the Letter ? Prsoner—Certainly not. Oh, dear, no. Ido b not deny that. There is nothinr, ui . dair there. What I mean by saying in the letter 6' too late" is, that I was, by the advice of some friends, about having a book printed that would throw a stain upon her character. If I was wrong in my state ment, I should have been sorry but if I was right I should not be sorry at all. The Magistrates ordered the prisoner to be bound over to keep the peace for 12 months, he entering into a surety of 2001., and finding colla teral surety for the same sum from two substantial householders. The prisoner annoys the Royal f a mily and th e Home-office owing to the impression he labour s under that his mother is a natural daughter of the Duke of Kent. We believe that his grandmother was in some capacity a servant in the household of , the Royal duke. APPOINTMEN T .—The Rev. Robert Whaler Bash, M.A., Head Master of the Islington Proprietary School, has been elected Sunday Evening Lecturer at St S within's, London Stone. Mr. Bush gained both the University Theological Dire EK.ay, and the Denyer Divinity Prize Di ss ertation, and was some since appointed Select Preacher before the trnivereity of Oxford.---arford flcrald. xirnmcr. The first witness called was Emilia Baylis said—l live at 7, Little Russell-street. My husband is a police constable of the F division. The prisoner at the bar lodges in the same house ; he occu pied the back room on the second floor. About five minutes past eight on Saturday night I was coming down stairs, and I heard the prisoner's wife say, "Oa dear." I went a few steps further, and then I heard herscream "murder." I immediately ran down to tell the landlady of the circumstance. Myself and the landlady went up, and entering the room I saw the prisoner's wife lying on the hearthrug, and he was stooping over her with a knife in his hand. When I saw the knife I was so frightened that I ran away to Moll a policeman. I met my husband, and he went up stairs and took the pri soner into custody. A .mall, white-bandied table knife, covered with blood, was here produced. Elizabeth Evans—l rent the house No. 7, Little RUE. sell-st reet. The prisoner occupied the back room second floor. In consequence of what the last witness said to me on Saturday night last, I went up to the prisoner's room and found the prisoner and his wife struggling on the floor by the fire-place. I attempted to separate them when I saw the prisoner had a knife in his hand. The pri soner's wife took hold of the skirt of my dress, and I dragged her towards the door, which I opened, and left the room. My arm and dress was covered with blood. I was too much excited at tile time to notice where the blood came from. When I next saw the unfortunate woman she was covered with blood, and there was a large hole in her neck, under her ear, from which the blood was flowing. She was quite conscious, and ex pressed a wish to see her mother. The prisoner was quite sober. I believe the prisoner and his wife lived happily together. James Baylis, 85, F—About 20 minutes past. eight on Saturday night I was returning from duty to my home, No. 7, Little Russell-street. I met the landlady at the door, and she said to me, " For God's sake run up stairs—there's murder being done." As I was going up the stairs I hoard the prisoner's wife scream out " Save me—save me !" As I was going up the second flight of stairs I saw the prisoner lying on his wife out. side the door. His left band was on her head, and his right arm was raised with a knife in it. I saw him strike a blow at his wife's neck. After he had driven the knife into her neck I4e seemed to turn it round in the wound. The knife was buried in the woman's neck. There Was only about half the handle visible. (Sensation.) I got up to the prisoner. I seized his hand and drew the knife from the neck of the woman. He struggled to get possession of the knife, during which the light went out. I took the pri soner down stairs, and then to the station-house. I asked the prisoner where the knife was, and he said " Go up and find it." He said nothing more. When I returned from the station•house I saw the injured woman. She was covered with blood, and was supporting herself by the banisters. She was quite conscious and said " Oh, my mother, my poor mother." I conveyed her to King's College Hospital. The prisoner was excited, but not drank. Police-constable F 16 said, on the last witness bringing the prisoner to the station.house ho told me he thought the prisoner had murdered a woman at No. 7, Little Russell•street. I went to the house, and saw the prisoner's wife bleeding profusely from wounds in her neck. On the landing of the second floor there was quite a pool of blood, in the centre of which the knife was lying. There was also a quantity of blood about the room. Inspector Mackenzie said that was all the evidence to be offered to-day. Mr. Henry—How is the unfortunate woman progress ing to-day, do you know ? Inspector Mackenzie —At half•past 12 this morning inquiry was male at the hospivd, and the constable was told she was going on favourably. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say to so serious a charge, said " I was driven to it." Mr. Henry then remanded the prisoner until to morrow week. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.--(This Day.)

From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scot land, the receipts of beasts fresh up were small, compared with Monday last, and in fair average condition. The at tendance of butchers was rather numerous, and the beef trade ruled very brisk, at an improvement in the quota tions of from 4d to 6d per 81bs. The best sorts readily prcduced 5s per Sibs, and a demand was easily effected. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridge amounted to 1,600 Scots and short horns; from other parts of England, 200 of various breeds from Scotland, 160 Scots ; and from Ireland, 30 oxen. We were but moderately supplied with nearly all breeds of sheep, and the mutton trade was brisk, at an improve ment in value of 4d per 81bs.
