MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

In the country markets held on Saturday, a fair average
business was transacted in most qualities of wheat, and
prices ruled firm. For malting barley, there was a good
demand at full quotations ; and other articles, including
flour, changed hands to a moderate extent, at about previ-
ous rates.

Advices from New York state that the export demand for
wheat and flour continued to increase, and that shipping
qualities commanded further enhanced rates. On the
Continent very little change has taken place in the value
either of wheat or spring corn.
The arrivals of English wheat and flour up to our market
last week were but moderato, but the receipts of spring corn
wore tolerably extensive. The imports from abroad amounted
to 25,486 quarters of wheat, 19,145 barley, 22,867 oats, 2,500
rye, 252 beans, 4,225 linseed, 6,484 oil-seeds, 5,800 maize,
2,404 sacks, and 1,550 barrels of flow.

Moderate supplies of home-grown wheat were received
fresh up to our market to-day, and the condition of the pro-
duce was, on the wh Is, tolerably gcod. The warlike news
at hand from the Continent was unproductive of any acti-
vity in the demand either for red or white qualities, never-
theless factors were firm, and the balk of the supply was
disposed of at the rates current on Ittonday last.

With most descriptions of foreign wheat the market was
fairly supplied. The transactions, however, were for the
most part, of a hand to mouth character, at previous quota-

tions.

The demand for cargoes of wheat aad spring corn afloat
ruled steady, and previous quotations were supported.
The supply of barley—both Englsh and foreign—on offer
was moderately large. For rnaltingqualities the trade ruled
firm, at full currencies ; but in inferior descriptions sales
progressed slowly on former terms.

Malt changed hands slowly, yet no change took place in
its value compared with Monday last.
With oats the market was moderately supplied. The
trade, generally speaking, ruled shady, at full quotations
Very moderate supplies of beans were on sale. For all
qualities there was a steady demand, at quite previous
rates.

Peas ruled firm in price, and it most descriptions a fair
business was transacted.

American flour moved off steadily, at full prices
English and French qualities supported previous rates,
with a moderate inquiry.

THE NAVY.

The screw steamship St. Georg., 81, Captain the Hon.
Francis Egerton, went on Friday from Plymouth Sound to
the Devenport dockyard, where she is discharging her
stores, &e. It is understood now that she will not be
entirely dismasted,;but refitted for the purpose of taking the
place of the coastguardship Russell at Falmouth, and that
her crew, who have been granted leave of absence, will be
?aid wages, but not paid off as at first expected.
The crew of the paddlewheel steam vessel Jackal at
Devonport will be paid oft on Monday next, the Bth inst.
The ship has been placed in Eeyhata basin to have defects
made good.
The lighter Aid, Grandy toaster, from Chatham, arrived
on Friday at Devenport with stores for the dockyard.
On Saturday it was announced at Chatham that the rolls
for the Kertch prize money, amounting to between £30,000
and £90,000, have been prepared by the Accountant-General
of the Navy, and that it will be shortly ready for distribu-
tion to the officers and men entitled to shares.
Instructions have been received at Chatham directing that
Chalmers' target, lately experimented upon at Shoeburyness,
is not to be dismantled and removed, as was at first ordered.
It is to undergo a careful and thorough repair under the
superintendence of Mr. Baskcombe, of Chatham dockyard,
who has constructed the whole of the targets hitherto tested
at Shoeburyness. The Admiralty instructions direct that
the plates which original!) covered the target are to be re-
placed, and the whole of the expenses connected with the
repairs are to be charged to the " Army fund."
A new battery has been erected on the sea bank adjoining
the old channel of the Ouse below Lynn. The local mem-
bers of the Naval Reserve and Coastguard service have
commenced a course of artillery practice at the new battery.
The following• appointments were made on Saturday at
the Admiralty :—Lieut. C. C. Ilassall, to be Flag Lieut. to
Rear-Admiral Sir L. J. Jones; W. H. Clarke, surgeon, to
the Leander ; J. F. Kynsey, assist paymaster, to the Pem-
broke ; and W. B. Antridge, assist paymaster, to the Indus.

remove these miniature torpedoes from the
footway, but the multitude at large pass them heed-
lessly by, as in general do the official guardians of
our safety. Many petty annoyances are to be met
with in every street in London, to wit, small
urchins, hoops, which have an ungovernable pro-
pensity to run between the legs of passers by, and
children's peramubulators. Although these occa-
sion a certain amount of inconvenience, but little
danger results from them. In the case of orange
peel, or slides, however, it is too often very diffe-
rent. It is difficult, we admit, to determine the
proper remedy for this grievance; yet something,
surely, ought to be done. The arm of the law is
all-powerful in some respects, but it does not
seem able to grapple with orange peel distributors.
A constable has the power to arrest any person or
persons letting off fireworks in the streets ; people
are not permitted to place obstructions or offen-
sive substances in the thoroughfares, beggars
are liable to imprisonment, and a constable
has authority to convey a horse to that
lucus a non lucendi, the greenyard, if it be loft un-
attended in a crowded street. It was only the other
day that a young man was fined by a police magis-
trate
for discharging a catapult, or popgun, in the
the neighbourhood of Kensington. Now, when so
much care is taken to avert these dangers or,
more properly, nuisances, surely something might
be done to mitigate, if it be impossible to remove
altogether, the danger of coming to the ground at
any moment by not perceiving the trap before your
feet. It would no doubt be going too far to autho-
rise the police to apprehend anyone dropping a
piece of peel on the pavement ; and as we do not
live under the rule of the celebrated HAROUN-AL-
RASCHID, Englishmen might very possibly object
to obey an order to eat the cfrending pigment as
being unconstitutional. But there could be no
harm done if Sir RICHARD MAYNE were to issue
an order to his myrmidons to remove any pieces
they might happen to meet with on their respective
beats, and likewise to caution any persons they
might detect in the thoughtless practice of dropping
the peel of their oranges at their feet rather than
throwing it into the roadway. If this or some
similar remedy were adopted, we have little doubt
that many serious accidents would be prevented.

tongue into each other, and each plate is fastened
with 11 screws into the timber. The result of the
recer.t experimental rough-weather cruise of the
Solferino, Magenta, Invincible, Couronne, and Nor-
mandie gave some curious and rather unexpected
results. The Solferino and Magenta two-deckers
proved as steady as rocks when the Couronne and
Normandie were rolling dreadfully, and the latter
made such bad weather of it and shipped so much
water as to put out her fires, and there is little
doubt but that she would have foundered outright
had not the weather moderated sufficiently to
enable her to gain a port. Before she was
trusted out again, 100 tons of cables were fas-
tened along each side of her upper deck, which
had the effect of studying her much, though
she was still found to roll so quickly and un-
easily as to render it almost impossible for her to
cast loose her guns in the slightest seaway. The
Couronne laboured heavily, but did nothing like
this. The Invincible was the best of the frigates,
and the Solferino was the fastest of the whole
squadron, doing 10 knots, when the Normandie
and Couronne were short of six knots. Singularly
enough, the Solferino and Magenta, though sister
ships, alike to a plank and rivet, and with the same
engines and stowage, gave very different results as
to speed, the Solferino doing 101 knots and the
Magenta barely 7. The difference is, perhaps, to be
ascribed to their engines. which are said to be bad
in the latter ship. Both, however, were remark-
ably steady, except with the wind on the quarter,
when they became uneasy while the rest of the fri-
gates were quiet. The Invincible was next to the
Solferino in speed, and nearly equal to her in steadi.
ness. On the whole, on a comparison of the iron-
clad fleets of the two countries, we have every rea-
son to feel proud—to feel secure while we have got
them.-7imes.

SPOR PING IN TELLIGENCE

BETTING AT MANeHESTER—SATURDAY.

There was a fair attendance of members at the Subscrip-
tion Rooms this day ; but, beyond several heavy invest-
ments on Coastguard and Horse Marine for the Derby, the
business transacted was not extensive.—For the Two
Thousand Guineas 5 to 1 was offered on the field, but not a
bet came under our notice; and, although there were a few
inquiriet respecting Accident for the Chester Cup, his price
did not transpire, but 100 to 6 was the highest offer on the
field. None of the other Spring Handicaps were mentioned ;
and with the exception of betting on the Derby and Guineas,
speculation is at present very limited in this market. Closing

ITALY.

The Ost-Deutsche Post publishes the following,
under date of Trieste, 26th January :
"It is an important fact that the Italian Steam
Navigation Company has received orders from the
Government at Turin to increase the number of its
vessels which run between Ancona and Trieste.
This step is by no means called for by the necessi-
ties of traffic, as every one here is aware that it is
by no means extensive. Material of war is also
being collected at Ancona, where there are, more-
over, more troops than necessary to defend the
fortress in case of war. We are not aware from
what side Piedmont fears an attack."

General Credit and Finance Company of
London.

(MEETING THIS DAY.)
The first general meeting of the shareholders of this
company was held to-day. It was stated in the report that
since the period the company had been constituted the
aspect, both of political and monetary affairs, had been
such as to inculcate extreme caution; and the unlooked-
for delay in the concesion of the allied French company
had caused a state of suspense with regard to important
branches of international business. This concession now
stood on the orders of the day of the Conseil d' Etat for final
approval ; and the directors had every reason to hope that
all obstacles were removed, s.nd that it would be granted in
a few weeks. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the
directors had the satisfaction of stating that the net profit
of six months' working, as shown by the annexed ac-
counts, after deducting rebate, current expenses, and
income tax, am iunts to £38,168, being at the rate of nearly
18. per cent. per annum. In ascertaining this profit, all
securities held by the company were valued at the market
price of the day. This represented the actual rate of
divisible profit. The directors did not, however, recom-
mend that it should be all divided. In the infancy of a
company of this description, it seemed to them more prudent
not to exceed a moderate rate of dividend until an ample
reserve should have been accumulated out of profits.
Accordingly, they recommended the preliminary expenses,
amounting to £4,883 133. 7d., to be written off at once ; the
sum of £9,534 lls. N. to be carried forward to next
account, and £18,750 to be appropriated to dividend, being
3s, per share, or at the rate of a fraction above 10 per cent,
per annum, free of income-tax.

OCEAN MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY.

(MEETING THIS DAY.)
The annual meeting of shareholders of this company
took place to-day. The report, which was unanimously
adopted, stated that the accounts showed that on under-
writing and interest account, there remained, after having
paid all adjusted claims for losses, averages, and
returns, and all office charges and expenses, to 31st
December last, a balance of £221,126 Os. 9d. The
period having arrived at which a certain profit has
been realized, the directors recommended the payment of a
bonus of lOs per share, amounting to £20,000, in addition
to the usual dividend of 5s per share on the paid-up capital.
They therefore proposed that the sum of £30,000, part of
the realized profits, be paid free of income-tax, and that the
balance of £191,126 Os 9d be carried forward.

have announced that the Bank of France was nego-
tiating with the Bank of Vienna a loan of 50 mil-
lions of specie on a deposit of Rentes. This state-
ment is entirely false; the Bank of France has not
engaged in or authorised any negotiation of the
kind."

The Brussels journals state that Baron Beyens,
first secretary of the Belgian Legation, has been
appointed Minister Plenipotentiary for Belgium at

The Ocean of Brest says :—" The screw steamer
Allier has arrived here from the Gulf of Mexico,
having on board 567 passengers, military and civil.
She quitted Vera Cruz o❑ the 10th December,
leaving there the French vessels Dryade, Bellone,
Magellan, and Finistere. From Vera Cruz she
went to Havanah, where she remained from the 15(h
to the 17th Dec. She afterwards stayed at Fort do
France (Martinique), from Dec. 25 to Jan. 2. Free
pratique was accorded to this vessel in our port at
once. Some military prisoners have been landed
here and placed in a house of detention."
.The Vigie of Cherbourg says :—" The almost im-
mediate return to France from Mexico of the
Marine Infantry which, since the commencement
of the campaign, have constantly given proofs of
a courage and a devotedness above all praise, is said
to have been decided on. It may be remembered
that after a very severe service in the Berra caliente,
the Marine Infantry, under the command of Colonel
Hennique, recently promoted to the rank of General
of Brigade, was sent to Tampico, where it suffered
severely from yellow fever. If we are rightly
informed, these troops are already on their passage
home."

Murder through Jealousy

Yesterday morning a murder was committed in Cross-
street, Hatton-garden, the murderer being a man named
Henry Wilkinson, aged 29, a stonemason's labourer, re-
siding at 9, Cross-street, and the unfortunate victim his
wife, Eliza, a woman of prepossessing appearance.
Between one and two o'clock this morning a fearful dis-
turbance was heard in the apartments occupied by the pri-
soner, his wife, and another lodger. On police-constable
Cock, 116 G, entering the room he found the deceased
woman lying on the floor. She had been attended by, Dr.
Gibson, who said that death had been caused from the
combined effects of kicks and blows in the stomach. There
was but little blood about the deceased's person, although
there was a good deal about the place.
It would appear that yesterday some friends of both
parties called to see them, and spent the day with them. In
the evening, they all partook of a little drink, but none of
them got intoxicated. Shortly before the departure of the last
train on the Metropolitan itailway;the deceased and her hus-
band went to see their friends off. Before they parted one of
the men kissed the deceased. This seemed very much to
annoy and exasperate the prisoner, who s wore and threatened
her in a most dreadful manner, and it is stated that whil.,t
standing in the Farringdon-road he sfru:ic his wife in the
face. Being fearful that she should be still further ill-used
and beaten if she stayed there, the unfortunate woman
returned home, and telling ono of the other lodgers that
sho was afraid the prisoner would injure her, asked
her if she would allow her to sleep with her until
morning, when she thought her husband's wrath would
be appeased. Her wish was complied with, and both
women retired to rest, As before stated, the husband re-
turned home shortly after one o'clock, and finding that his
wife was net in his room he called for her. He then went
into the lodger's room, and finding that his wife was in bed
swore at her and
pulled her out with great violence. lie
knocked his wife down, and while she was on the ground he
imflicted a most fearful kick in the stomach. The poor
woman said to her husband, "You have now given me my
death blow," rolled over, and fell insensible. She never
spoke more, and the Irieoner, who then appeared very
sorry, went out and fetched a surgeon, and when he re-
turned he was taken into custody.
Information has been forwarded to Dr Lankester, the
coroner for Middlesex, and the inquest will be held this
day.

At the King's-cross police station, when the charge was
read over to the prisoner by Acting Inspector Baldock,
Cl, he said, " I know she is dead, but it is not trom the
many blows I have given her now, She has died from those
I gave her on Friday."
