Dr.ATII OF WILL GOODALL, HUNTSMAN TO THE DUKE OF
RUTLAND'S HOUNDS.—We regret to announce the death of
the above-named huntsman," which took place on the Ist
inst., at the kennels at Belvoir, after a short but severe
illness. "William Goodall was born in 1818, and spent his
early days in the service of the late Mr. Drake, as second
horseman and whipper-in. In 1838 he entered the service
of the late Duke of Rutland, as second whip, and on the
retirement of Goosey in 1842 became huntsman. Under
his management the far-famed Belvoir pack was brought to
a state of excellence which has never been surpassed. We
will not enlarge on hiS merits as a huntsman, as they are
so well known—indeed, it is difficult to say whether he
shone most in the kennel or the field; and his civil,
unassuming, we may say gentleman-like, demeanour towards
all was a pattern for others in a like station. By his
untimely death his faMily, his noble master, and the public
have sustained an irreparable loss. We regret to acid that
he has left a widow and eleven children.
THE WIDOW OF HARRY HIE,,WER.--,We mentioned
some time back that a subscription was being raised for
Mrs. Bindley, widow of the late Mr. Charles Bindley, better
known in sporting circles as Harry Hieover, whose contribu-
tions to sporting literature have been so often and so
favourably noticed in our columns. Mrs. Bindley has been
left completely unprovided for, and it is proposed to raise,
by subscription such a sum as will enable the originators of
the subscription to purchase an annuity, and thus place this
lady, whose prospects in early life differed so widely from
her present painful position, beyond the reach of want for
the remainder of her life. The trustees of the subscription
are, Sir Thomas B. Lennard, Bart.; W. R. Harris, Esq., 3,
Copthall-chambers; T. C. Newby, Esq., of Welbeck-street ;
and Messrs. Ransome, the bankers ; by all 9E whom sub-
scriptions will be thankfully received. We shall also be
happly to be made the medium of contributing to the good
cause, and any sums left with our publisher shall be for-
warded to the trustees. Sir T. B. Lennard has nobly
healed the list with a donation of 100 guineas.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

'LIVERPOOL, Saturday Evening.
The Liverpool Cotton Market has shown consider-
able improvement to-day, and a fair extent of busi-
ness has been done, the sales amounting to 7,000
bales, of which about one-seventh were taken for
speculation and export. There was no change in
prices. A respected correspondent, upon whOse
opinion we have always relied, and whose judgment
we have invariably found to be based upon a good
knowledge of facts, in reference to the present
depression of the trade writes to us :
The breaking out of a war between France and Austria
(neither very good customers of ours for manufactures, but
rather our rivals- in the Cotton trade), has frightened some
'holders of the raw material, who seem to look more to the
Stock Exchange for their guidance than the question of
supply and demand. With a deficiency in the supply for
future wants of 150,000 bales of Cotton compared with last
year , (when we were engaged in a war in India, the enor-
mous population of which have been for some time, and are
now, our most profitable customers), and with far less stocks
held by winners, prices are id per lb. lower than then-; not-
withstandino- the late- and very unfavourable planting-season
in the United States, which may result in a much smaller
crop for next season. We give the under-mentioned figures
from yesterday's weekly circulars, and a little reflection on the
part of Cotton holders will show there is no cause for great
alarm, but on the contrary, a reaction may be soon looked
for : Stock of all sorts in Liverpool 403,000-bales, against
last year 515;000 bales ; at sea. fromthe United States- for
Liverpool 340.000 bales, against last year 205,000 bales;:
stock in the :United' States 728,000 bales, against last yeat-
-700,000 bales ; quantity, yet to be received in the United
States for crop to reach 3.700,000' bales, 325,000 bales,
against last year 525,000' bales. Total, 1,796.000 balm 1
against last year 1,945,000 bales , showing a deficiency of'l
150,000 bales of Cotton for the consumption from this time'
as compared with last year.

The amount of business actually dune in the Liver-
pool Share Market has not been large, but there has
been a better feeling, and generally prices have had
an upward tendency, although, in' some instances,
sales have been made at lower rates. The trans-
actions were - Eastern Counties, 10T; Great Northern,
N ; Great Western, 50, 504; `Lancashire and
Yorkshire, 84; London and North Western, 851;
ditto one-eizbth shares, 2' 1-16, 2 1-16. d; Man-
chester, Sheffield, and Lineolnshire, 324; Midland;
921; South Eastern, 18 3-t6'; DUteh Rhenish, 71, d ;
Great Lui'64Phourg Constituted, 5.
During the last few days. the Provison Market
here has been much excited by large purchases of
Beef and Pork for the French navy. The Meg
Merrilies is now loding in- the George's dock for
Toulon, with these stores, and is to he followed by
several other vessels for the same quarter ; upwards
of 1,000 tons of shipping being required to complete
the shipments. This movement having taken off the
greater part of the stock of Beef and Pork held
here, accounts for the advance in price, which, with
the increase in seamen's wages, owing to the bounty
offered by the Admiralty for seamen, will add con-
siderably to the disbursments of our mercantile
marine.

The movements of the Precious Metals during the
week have been important. The imports amount
to 523,664/ including 15,0001 from the United
States by the New York, 77,0001 by the City of
Baltimore, 10,0001 by the Vanderbilt, and 15,4001
by the Lebanon ; 1;0001 from the Cape of Good Hope,
by the Celt ; 103,540/ from Mexico and the West
Indies ; by the Atrato ; 84,4161 from Australia, by the
Heather Bell ; and 92,2101 by the Champion of the
Seas ; 68,0001 from the Brazils, by the Avon ; 301 from
Alexandria, by the Ceylon ; 2,038/ from the Pet in-
sula, by the Sultan ; 5,0001 from the west coast of
Africa, by the Hope ; and about 50,0001 in Silver from
the Continent. The exports have been 367,072/ to
the East Indies and China, by the Indus ; and
shipments to the Continent, through the London
Custom House, estimated at 291,2901, making a total
of 658,3621. Considerable amounts however have
been forwarded to the Continent by private hands,
independently of the above, the particulars of which
do not generally transpire.
There has been a decidedly better feeling in the
London Stock Exchange to-day, and prices for Con-
sols have improved to the extent of a quarter per
cent. The closing prices of the Public Securities
were :-Consols, Money, 901, 91 ; Ditto Account,
901, 91 ' • Exchequer Bills, 15, 22 ; Bank Stock,
216, 219; Three per Cents., 891, 90.
The London Share Market wore a decidedly
better appearance, but the extent of business done
was small. Midland Stock has risen 11 per cent. ;
London and North-Western, Great Western, Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, and Caledonian, 1 per cent.,
and most of the other leading descriptions about 1
per cent. The final closing prices were :-Amber-
gate, Nottingham, and Eastern 3-unction, 51,
; Caledentans, 721, 731 ; Eastern Counties,
51, 52; East Lancashire, 83, 84; Edinburgh and
Glase,ow, 67, 69 • Great Northern, 94, 95 ; Ditto A,
.7-,
77, 79 ; Great Westerns, 50, 51 ; Grand Western
of Canada, 131, 131; Grand Trunk of Canada, 7-1, 71;
Great Southern and Western, 99, 101 ; Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, 841, 851 ; London and
North Western, 841, 851; London and South Wes-
tern, 81 851 ' • Leeds Northern, 42, 43 ; Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 32, 33; Midland Stock,
92, 93 ; North British, 50, 51 ; South Eastern
and Dover, 60, 61 ; York, Newcastle, and Berwick,
83, 84 ; York and North Midland, 68, 69,
In the Discount department of the Bank of Eng-
land, yesterday, the business was of an ordinary
character, the late pressure having subsided. In
Lombard-street an active demand was experienced.
Only the best bills having, say, a month to run, are
taken at 41 per cent. For two months' bills the terms
are 5 per cent, and for three month 51 per cent.
The rates allowed for loans by the two discount
companies are the same as those fixed by Messrs,
Overend, Gurney and Co.

The progress made in the final adjustment of the
Consol account yesterday afternoon was, considering
the late dreadful havoc created among the dealers
by the panic, more encouraging than might have
been anticipated. 0.113- one failure was in reality
announced; and through the arrangement in the
early part of the week by the brokers and jobbers
to afford each other temporary assistance, much of
the inconvenience arising from the difficulty in
securing balances from principals was obviated. In
many cases, by this course of proceeding, the alter-
native of declaration has been avoided, and the time
afforded for completing payments will allow many of
the dealers the opportunity of meeting th
ments in full

r engav

There is still a drain of gold from the Bank of
England, but it has partially diminished, the amount
taken yesterday not exceeding £20,000. The small
remittances by the Austral were also delivered, and
the whole purchased for continental purposes. The
dollars by the West India packet were sold, and the
price fixed at ss. OZd. per oz. Bar silver is quoted
53,21 d. , with some few transactions.

• The payments on the Indian Loan, fixed for yester-
day, have been promptly met. It appears that the
exact amount of the loan for which tenders were
accepted on the 21st ult., was £5,047,000. Of this
amount, the first instalment has been completed
yesterday on a capital of £4,914,000, leaving a capital
of only £133,000 not paid upon. The exact amount
of the instalment due yesterday, was £911,981, of
which £887,981 has actually been paid, so that the
snm in respect of which default is made is only
£24,000. The loan has been taken by 309 sub-
scribers, of whom only 25 have proved defaulters.
The attendance at the London Wool Sales this
afternoon was only moderate, and the biddings for
all kinds of Wool ruled inactive at a decline in price
from 1:1,:d ta-3d per lb. Messrs. Edinborough and Co.
were the selling brokers.
In the London Colonial and Foreign Produce
Markets the week opened with continued excitement
and rising prices in several speculative articles, but
the adverse position of the Money Market and the
contradiction of the rumoured treaty between France
and Russia have caused a reaction, and yesterday these
markets closed flatly, with lower prices in several in-
stances. Beyond this the variations have not been
important, but trade in general continues dull. With
limited transactions Sugar must again he quoted 0d
to .:1s lower. Coffee has been depressed, and is
now about 4s. 'to Os. below the late higitost point,

In Tea the dealings have been inconsiderable, with-
out alteration in price. A government contract for
100 tons of Cocoa is advertised for the 12th instant.
A rise of 3d. to 6d. in the Rice Market on Monday
has since been lost, and the activity has entirely
disappeared. Large purchases of Saltpetre have
resulted in a further advance of is. per cwt., at
which the market is still firm. The quarterly
Cinnamon sales passed off flatly at 2d. to 3d. decline.
Russian Hemp, after touching 351. 10s., sold in
auction at 321. 10s., which is now the nearest quota-
tion. Manilla is held for the recent advance, and
Jute about 21. above the lowest point of the market.
The Metal trade has been extremely dull. Tin and
Scotch Pig Iron are both lower. Spelter has also
been pressed for sale at a decline, but sustained a
partial recovery yesterday. Tallow has given way
2s. to 35., and Linseed Oil Is. 6d. per cwt.
The Funds have to-day adranced per cent., and closed
with more firmness than has been shown for some days
past. The settlement has been completed, with the declara-
tion of only one failure, and that of trivial amount. The
Stock Echange may now be said to have fairly emerged
from the panic, although the effect upon quotations will not
yet pass away. In the Discount department of the Bank of
England to-day the business was of an ordinary character,
the.late pressure having subsided. in Lombard-street an

.and was experienced ; only the best bills
Ly a month to run, are taken at 41 per cent

For two inmiths' bilis the terms are five per cent,
and for three mOtrhs 51; per cent. ThErgold taken from the
Bank today for export was £20,000. The £61,400 by the
Austral from Geelong was also purchased for the Continent.
The fall in the :Continental Exchanges has been checked:
This afternoon, the rates for bills on Holland, Belgium and
Hamburgh, were slightly more favourable for this country.
The quotations o,n paper. on Austria and Genoa were merely
nominal. .The payments on the Indian Loan•lave been
promptly met. The exact amount of the instalment due
to-day was £911,981, of which £887,981 has actually been
paid, so that the sum, in respect of 'which •default is made,
is only £24,000. The loan has been taken by 309 mem-

subscribers, of whom only tWenty-frie have proved
defaulters.—Daily News-City-Article, Friday Evening.
The Consol market has been comparatively steady to-day,
and, although speculative securities of all kinds remain
'without recovery, there has been a better tone in every
department of business. Investment continued to be made
by the public, and at one moment 901 was paid for stcck
for delivery. The money market was without excitement
to-day, and the demand at the Bank only moderate. In
,the colonial produce markets, during the week, the late
excitement has slightly diminished; but several articles
likely to be affected by the continental war have occasionally
brought higher rates. To-day the demand appears less
animated, and there is a diSposition to realise at the advance
attained.—Times City- Article, Friday Evening.
THE CORN MARKET. —The city article of the Times
reports a tendency to reaction on Friday, and states that
sales could not have been pressed except at a decline. The
News city article- says the wheat market was heavy,
and to effect sales a rednction of 3s to ls per quarter from
last Monday's rates would have been necessary.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARBET.---MAY 7.
There has been a slightly imnroved demand for cotton,
to-day, and prices are withont change. The sales L-includ-
ing 210 Bahia, 7d t 0.71,1; 200 Oryptian. 711 to Bid ; 300
Surat, 5d to 50—are reported 7,000 bales, of which 1,040
are on speculation and for export.

for Tramburgh at 23s 71d.
Coffee flat.
Tea quiet; common consrou is difficult of sale at 14d.

BOROUGH HOP .MARKET,

MAY 7

New hops are less active, yet holders generally are very
firm. Yearling and old parcels command very little attention.

LONDON TALLOW MARKET-M AY 7,

There was barely anything doing in the market to.day ;
