ONEY MARKET

ANY?
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The official minimum of 4 per cent. is still required
among bankers and brokers for the negotiation of
the best description of short-dated paper. The
approaching liquidation of monthly accounts on the
th will no doubt create a fresh demand for dis-
count accommodation, and there is therefore, with
the present small supply of capital in the market,
very little likelihood of any relaxation in the terms
for assistance.
The Mexican dollars brought by the West India
steamer have been disposed of at 59id. per oz.,
showing no alteration in the rate. The small
quantity of bar silver by the same steamer has been
sold at 60id. per oz
Messrs. de Mattas and Godefrai, merchants and
exchange dealers, have suspended payment, but
their liabilities are stated to amount to only about
£130,000, and a fairer realisation is expected.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon
here was no material alteration.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank
Yesterday.
The Oneida has arrived from the Brazils with
£43,952, and the Wave of Life, from Melbourne,
With £12,984.

pointed Friday, May 5, a special settling day in the
shares of the following companies—Renter's Tele-
gram Company, to be marked in the twice-a-week
; West London Docks and Warehouses Com-
pany to be marked ; and in the Trinidad Petro-
leum Company, not to be marked, the mode of
issue and the allotment being unsatisfactory and
irregular.
An order has been made by the Master of the
Rolls for the winding-up of the Joint-Stock Com-
panies' Association (Limited), under the supervision

PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S ASSASSIN. -- Our clever
neighbour, Mr. E. Fehrenbach, one of the ablest
photographers in London, has just issued from his
German School of Photography, at 111, Strand, a
couple of carte-de-visite-liknesses of the young
actor, John Wilkes Booth, who is believed to have
been the murderer of President Lincoln on Good Friday
last (of all days in the year, on Good Friday !) at Ford's
Theatre, in the city of Washington. One of these
cartes is in profile, the other in three-quarter face
—the latter represents the assassin in a loose-fitting
Inverness cape, the former in a tightly buttoned
frock coat. The head in both is uncovered. And both
heads are wonderfully handsome—not the least in the
world what one would imagine for a single instant to be
the effigy of an assassin. A comely face, with the bloom
and freshness of youth upon it—aquiline features—dark
hair and dark moustache, the beard otherwise shorn—the
irladto itself seemingly very good indeed phrenologically !
Altogether an incomprehensible and utterly bewildering
likeness of a man who has perpetrated so ruthless and de-
testable an assassination.
The Earl and Countess of Durham have returned
home from Cannes, having made a brief stay in Parrs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A LOVE AYPAIR.—THREATENING TO KILL A GIRL.—
John Downes, described as a tailor, of No. 8, Poller-street,
Hanover-square, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by
Michael O'Shaughnessy, one of the warrant officers, charged
with threatening to kill Rose Newton, a delicate and in-
teresting girl, about 16 years of' age, residing with her
parents, in Lancashire-court, Old Bond-street.
The complainant said she used to go out with the pri-
soner, and on Sunday night last, she not having been out
with him that day, he threatened her dreadfully, and said
that if he did not have her no one else should. On Mon-
day, while dancing with another girl in the court to an
organ, the prisoner said, "Don't dance before me, unless
you want a scene in the court." Shortly after, the girl
who was dancing with her, and who lived in the same
house as the prisoner, went up stairs and found him with
a knife in his hand. The reason why she had gone out
with the prisoner was principally because he hadrepeatedly
threatened her if she did not do so, and she went in fear
of him.

Mary Ann Charles, the girl alluded to by the com-
plainant, proved seeing the prisoner with a knife in his
hand, sitting on the stairs, and crying. She told her father,
who came down and took the knife from him.

Tho prisoner said he would not annoy the complainant
again. He sent to the complainant to come to him that he
might beg her pardon, but she did not come.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not wonder at that. Nobody
liked to be stabbed if they could help it. The prisoner
would have to find two bail to keep the peace towards
the complainant for six months.
GROSS CRUELTY TO A PONY.—Jobn Monteith, of 2, St.
Peter's-road, Kingsland, marine-store dealer, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the instance of Mr. William Love,
chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, with cruelly treating a horse by
working it in an unfit state.

Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 10s., or 14 days.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up to our market,
to-day, were very moderate. The condition of the pro-
duce being good, the demand for all qualities ruled steady,
at Monday's advance in prices. A portion of the supply
was taken off by buyers from the North of England.
With foreign wheat—both American and Continental—
the market was very moderately supplied. For all descrip-
tions the trade ruled firm, and late rates were well
supported.
Floating cargoes of grain wore in fair average request, at
full currencies.

Barley was in very moderate supply. The trade for all
qualities was firm at fully late rates.
Only a moderate business was transacted in malt at late
rates.

There was a good supply of oats on sale. Most descrip-
tions were in steady request at full prices.
Both beans and peas were very firm. The market was
scantily supplied.
Most descriptions of flour moved off steadily. In some
instances a slight advance took place in prices.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

GLASGOW AND SOUTH-WESTERN.

A special meeting of this company was held at
Glasgow on Friday, Sir A. Orr in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN said he had to submit three bills
for their approval. The first was a bill authorising
the company to make a railway from Glasgow to
Kilmarnock. It would commence by a junction
with the Glasgow Union Railway at Hospital-street,
and run almost in a straight line to Kilmarnock.
This would shorten the distance to England by 12
miles, open up an entirely new district, and greatly
improve their system.

A formal resolution approvingthe bill was carried.
The next was a bill to authorise the company to
subscribe £300,000 towards the Glasgow Union
undertaking. The power was permissive, and the
Edinburgh and Glasgow Company had likewise in-
serted in their bill permissive powers to subscribe a
similar sum.

The heads of the bill having been read, a formal
resolution approving it was adopted.
Thd next bill which the meeting approved was
for authorising the Glasgow Union Railway Com-
pany to form an improved junction with the Glasgow
and South-Western Railway, in lieu of one condi-
tionally sanctioned last session.

The meeting was then adjourned for the consi-
deration of other bills to the 12th inst.

ROYAL SWEDISH.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. Austin
in the chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
7he Sun, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said that the permanent way and rolling
stock were in good order,- and that some further re-
pairs and renewals would be necessary. The com-
pany had worked the Government line from Orebo
to Halsberg at a profit of £l,lOO, but subsequently
the Government had taken it into their own hands,
and so that account had disappeared from the com-
pany's revenue. There had been an increase on the
traffic of the railway, especially in the goods depart-
ment, but the expenses were also heavy, as they had
to renew 1,500 sleepers. They obtained trafficfrom
the Nora branch, but not so much as if it were their
own. They had received £3,000 from the Nether-
lands Land Company, with 5 per Cent. interest to the
time of 'giving up the bonds. With regard to the
proposed branch from Linda into the mineral dis-
trict north of their line, if they could have made it,
between £2,000 and £3,000 a-year would have been
added to their traffic, but they had had no means
available for that purpose. If the Government
should lease the company's line, they might be
induced to assist in the making of the Linda
branch. The line of ten miles from Arboga to
Doping could now be completed for £lB,OOO in-
stead of the £20,000 or £25,000 originally esti-
mated. It would probably be the object of the
Government to have possession of the whole system
of Swedish railways. The efforts heretofore made
by the directors to induce the Government to pur-
chase the company's line had been futile. Owing
to the state of the Swedish finances they were not
perhaps in a position to purchase the company's
railway, at the same time they had the benefit of
the line in the country. The Swedish Government
had not acted liberally towards them, and, owing
to the non-completion of the line by the time speci-
fied, the company were not in a position to enforce
the guarantee. The Government line from Gotten-
burg to Stockholm was 350 miles in length, and the
extension from the company's line joined it at Hale-
berg. The Government were about to make a line
from Christiana to Stockholm, and they could work
over the 35 miles of the company's line, and thus
save a considerable sum. It would, therefore, an-
swer the purpose of the Government to lease the
line and work it in connexion with the Linda
branch. The Diet would meet in October next, and
it was understood that the Government were favour-
able to leasing the line, and if they should agree to
do so for five or seven years both would be enabled
to see their way more clearly. He then explained
that the directors proposed to pay 2s. per obligation
to the obligation holders, which, with 2s. paid pre-
viously, would enable the company to get rid of
two coupons, leaving a reserve in hand.

Mr. CIIAPLIN seconded the motion for the adop-
tion of the report.
Some discussion ensued, in the course of which it
was stated that they proposed to lease the line in the
first instance at £5,000 a year, and half the surplus
profits for a term of five or seven years. The inte-
rest on the obligations would amount to £6,000 a
year, and until that was paid, together with arrears,
the preference and original shareholders would get
nothing. The traffic on the line was increasing, and
during the first three months of this year the increase
was £4OO. The line might be worth £lO,OOO a year
at the end of the five or seven years, as it was in
the power of the Government to develope the traffic.
The Swedish chairman of the company had been in
negotiation with the Swedish Minister on the sub-
ject of leasing the line.

The report was adopted, and the payment of 2s.
per obligation on the Ist of June next was agreed to.
It was thought,advisable to leave the question of
leasing the line in the hands of the Board, and the
proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the
chairman and directors.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET SPRING MEETING.
THE TWO THOUSAND DAY.

It is the fashion to speak of each recurring anniversary
of turf events as surpassing all those preceding it in the
excitement and interest it evokes. Doubtless it is a mere
figure of speech in many instances, but it was assuredly
the truth to-day. The concurrent testimony of all sporting
writers, as well as of that large section of society who
dabble but lightly in the dangerous waters of racing, all
help to prove our assertion. For the reason of this we
must look to the high private reputation of Breadalba,ne—
the very large sum paid by Mr. H. Chaplin for him and his
stable companion Broomielaw, and the flattering accounts
given of the former's appearance and style of going.
Never has a " dark" horse excited such attention or com-
manded such confidence as this splendid-looking son of
Stockwell. Though on his arrival here at the end of last
week he was pronounced hardly as fit as he shoisld bo for
this important event, and though the sudden rush to get
on Bedminster, consequent on Sir Joseph Hawley's
victory with Argonaut Yesterday, and the coming again
of Liddington, somewhat shook his position, yet both
last night and this morning no one ventured " to take
liberties with him," and one of the leading bookmakers
would not lay more than 5 to 1 against him.
The crowds brought by road and rail into the town this
morning exceeded anything we have seen of late years.
It was a Derby, and not in miniatures The horsemen
formed a body of irregular cavalry difficult to avoid ; the
carriages were many deep ; the foot people countless.
Elaborate luncheons, after the manner or Epsom, were the
rule; and the only drawback to complete enjoyment the
wind and dust, the latter being in greater force than we
ever remember.

Beyond the scratching of Chattanooga and the rise of
the French horse Gladiateur there was no change worth
recording.

As the hour drew near which was to unravel the mys-
tery and set at rest the hopes and fears of the last six
months the excitement deepened. There were several
failures of course, but at length a capital start was effected,
the 18 wore seen coming along in line, with Pantaloon
making running for Kangaroo in the van. The race is so
fully described below that we will not repeat the tale here ;
sufficient to say that the pace was first-rate, the favourites
were always in front, and that from the bushes in one of
the finest races ever seen ensued beiween Liddington,
Gladiateur, Archimedes, Zambesi, and Breadalbane, the
French colt staying the longest, and, though closely
pressed by Archimedes, winning, after an exciting
struggle, by a neck amidst loud cheering. Ho is a bay
colt, of immense power and great quality, and bids fair to
perpetuate the triumphs of the French stable on the downs

excellent start. Pantaloon on the extreme right was the first
away, and, with Regalia, Tibia, Zambesi, Rifle, and Bed-
minster in close company, made the running at a great
pace, Liddington, who headed the others, lying in the
centre of the course, having on his left Jack o'Lantern, Le
Mandarin, Gladiateur, Breadalbane, and Kangaroo, and
some lengths in their rear Archimedes, Joker, Ariel, and
Cedric. They ran •in these positions to the Bushes-hill,
where Pantaloon, having performed his allotted task,
dropped back, and the running was immediately taken up
by Zambesi, followed on the extreme loft by Kangaroo,
close in whose track were Gladiateur, Breadalbane, Archi-
medes, Liddington, Bedminster, and Jack o'Lantem, who
ran in such close order that a sheet would have covered the
lot. On reaching the Abingdon Mile-bottom, Kangaroo
and Bedminster were beaten, and Zambesi on rising the
hill was headed by Gladiateur, who as they entered
the cords was joined by Lord Stamford's colt and Lid-
dington. Thence ensued one of the finest races between
the four witnessed for many years, the French representa-
tive winning in the last stride by a neck, Archimedes de-
feating Liddington by a like distance for second; Zambesi
finished fourth, beaten a head, close up with whom Breadal-
bane finished fifth, Jack o'Lantern sixth, Bedminster
