LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1853.

Some six years since, during the monetary
crisis that produced so many disastrous re-
sults, the Emperor NICHOLAS thought proper to
invest 4,600,000.1. sterling, or thereabouts, in
English Securities, at the then depreciated quo-
tations. Joyous posans were forthwith chaunted
in favour of the mighty, and, what was more
to the purpose, the wealthy potentate who
had afforded such timely aid in the hour of dis-
tress and difficulty, and also of the operation of
the self-acting monetary code, which produced a
supply when it was really needed. We then ven-
tured to differ with our bullionist contemporaries
on both points. We did not perceive that he
was entitled to any extraordinary gratitude for
rendering pecuniary resources that would other-
wise have remained idle and unproductive the
sources of a very profitable transaction, by which
he was entitled not only to realise some 600,000/.
or 700,000/. sterling for his privy purse, but
also to maintain a market for the staple produc-
tions of his empilre that would otherwise have
been paralysed, W not entirely closed. At the
same time, we poix ited out the possibility that the
AUTOCRAT might have been influenced by
other and less legitimate motives, the know-
ledge whereof 'would convert the thanks
and gratitude claimed for the concession
into something approximating to contempt and
defiance. The p rofits to be realised were per-
ceptible to the :most superficial observer. The
imperial agents bought in when Consols were about

cupidity of the most greedy money-lender—was

Commissioners, for the purpose of liquidating the
claim—twenty per cent., well secured, would not
entitle the usurious lender to any extraordinary
gratitude from the needy borrower, whose neces-
sities compelled to accede to such extravagant
terms. There svas, however, a collateral advan-
tage derived by the CZAR. which would account
for his desire to accommodate. He saw that his
serfs could not dispose of their commodities at
fair prices, in consequence of the state of the
English money market—that his own goods or
those of his sere ants—nearly the same thing in a
country coerced: by a despotism—were likely to
remain on hand, in consequence of their best cus-
tomers being unable to pay the stipulated

have remained unsaleable in the warehouses at
Odessa and elsel there but for the operation. He
was enabled to alispose of them on good terms in
consequence thereof, and he was at least as much
benefited by the transaction as those whom he
professed to serve. The case was practically that
of a tradesman in good circumstances, who pre-

SPAIN.

I The Madrid journals of the 30th ult. do not con-
tain a line of political news of interest. The Espana
states as an extraordinary fact that an entire day
had passed without any of the Madrid journals
having been seized by the police. A Madrid letter
of the 30th states that the Spanish Government has
sent a fresh order to General Narvaez at Bayonne,
to proceed immediately to Vienna on pain of being
considered,a rebel for further refusal to obey its
instructions.

ANALYSIS OF THE SEVENTY-FOURTH

DERBY,

Mr. Thomas Parr, whose judgment last year was
found, in respect to Weathergage, to be superior to
the talented match-making Admiral's, has a couple
of Derby colts under the care of
MANNING,

at Letcombe, Berkshire, one of whom, the. b c
Contentment, by Archy, out of Tranquillity, by
Venison, nominated by Mr. Sadler, he declares is
good enough to carry off one, if not more, of the
great spring handicaps. Contentment has been
backed to a considerable extent for the Metropoli-
tan, in the race for which he will make his first,
essay this season. He has also been supported with
some spirit for the Newmarket Handicap and
Chester Cup ; and last week was introduced into the
Derby market at 100 to 1, rising, in the course of
a week, between 60 and 70 points-35 to one being
his price this morning. That his chance for the
Metropolitan is a first-rate one, everybody knowing
the. horse will readily admit : it is also not impos-
sible his winning another handicap in addition ;
but as to his being " the horse" on the Derby-day,
that is a feat, in my opinion, as likely of realisation
as the conversion of chalk into superior stilton.
Report says he is within a dozen pounds of Wea-
thergage. He can stay a, distance, but is some-
what deficient in speed. Has run once, when be
finished a bad third and last to Cineas, at Bath, for
the Biennial Stakes.

Mr. T. Parr's b c Mustang, by Melbourne, out
of Lady Mary, nominated by Sir J. Hawley, has
figured as a loser in four fields, and will not do for
Epsom.

GERMANY.

A telegraphic dispatch, dated Vienna, 2d, says :
The commissaries of the Bourse have (probably
'by order of the Government) given to several
bankers satisfactory explanations as to the relations
'of the Austrian Government with France."

The Temps, a semi-official journal of Berlin,
;says :—" It is announced in a most positive man-
ner that the Prussian Government will shortly read
to the two Chambers a communication having for
its object to augment the army, the portion to be in-
creased being the regiments of the reserve."
The Hirlap of Pesth says that the mission given
to Count de Leiningen hasatwofold object—first, to
address remonstrances to the Ottoman Porte rela-
tive to the commercial relations of Austria and.
Turkey ; and, next, to discuss the affair of Mon-
tenegro as far as it relates to Austria, and to coun-
sel moderation.
The Weser Gazette has the following from Berlin,
dated the 31st ult. :—" On the 29th a Council of
Ministers was held, at which was discussed the
course to be pursued with regard to the press in
Prussia, in the event of articles offensive to the
Emperor of the French being published, the French
ambassador at Berlin having made representations
on the subject. After a long discussion, it was de-
cided that the journals, and particularly the New
Prussian Gazette, should be recommended to ab-
stain from saying anything insulting to the French
Government, and threatened with prosecution if
the French Government should prove they had
made false or calumnious statements."

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENOH-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.)
MACHEATH V. VISCOUNT FRANCKFORT.

This was an action against Viscount Franckfort to re-
cover compensation in damages for a libel which he had
published, reflecting on the character of the plaintiff
(Mr. Macheath) who resides in Vigo-street, Regent-
street,

The libel arose out of the same circumstances in re-
spect of which Lord Franckfort was found guilty at the
suit of another party, and sentenced to a term of im-
prisonment, which he is now undergoing.
After the jury had been sworn,
Sir Frederick Thesiger, who appeared for the plaintiff,
expressed his gratification at being able to intimate that
the parties had come to an arrangement, and that the
jury would be relieved from investing the case. Lord
Franckfort had seen, he was happy to say, the gross im-
propriety of his conduct, and that it would be perfectly
useless attempting to set up any defence to the action.
He (Sir Frederick Thesiger), however, thought that as
his client's character and reputation had been most
seriously and wantonly maligned, it was but right that
he should press for substantial damages, and the
Attorney-General, who represented Lord Franckfort,
had agreed to a verdict being entered for the plaintiff for
the sum of 2001.

The Attorney-General said he felt quite convinced
that it would be impossible for him to contend against
the evidence, and he had to thank his learned friend for
the conciliatory spirit he had displayed, in so readily
agreeing to the terms proposed by him.
Lord Campbell thought the defendant's counsel had
takes the proper course, and rejoiced that the jury were
spared the necessity of entering into a matter of such a
painful character The libel was one of so extraordinary
a nature that it might be doubted whether the author of

it was in his right senses, and perhaps Lord Franckfort,
who was now suffering the sentence of the court, might
be a fit subject for the clemency of the Crown.
A verdict was then ordered for the plaintiff. Damages
200!.

"Epsom, Feb. 6, 1852.—Gentlemen,—For some time past I was
afflicted with a most distressing Cough and Hoarseness, and which I
thought from various symptoms I observed, would conduce to Con-
sumption. After having tried several remedies, and finding little or
no relief, I determined to try a small box of your Dr. Locock's Pul
monic Waters, and to my surprise, in less than two days I found my-
self perfectly restored ; and it is with deep-felt gratitude I return my
sincere thanks to you and Providence that I am by means of your
invaluable medicine thus perfectly restored. I am, Gentlemen, yours
thankfully, G. WYATT.
To Singers and Public Speakers they are invaluable for strengthen-
ing the voice. Price is. 1 ad., 2s. 9d., and 1 ls. per box. Sold by all
medicine vendors.

WHERE TO BUY A DRESSING-CASE.
In no article, perhaps, is caution more necessary than in the
purchase of a Dressing-case, for in none are the meretricious arts of
the unprincipled manufacturer more frequently displayed. MECIIJ,
4, Leadenhall-street, near Gracechurch-street, has long enjoyed tile
reputation of producing a Dressing-case in the most finished and
faultless manner. Those who purchase one of him will be sure of
having thoroughly seasoned and well prepared wood or leather, with
the fittings of first•rate quality. The prices range from 11. to 1001.
Thus the man of fortune and he of moderate means may alike be
suited, while the traveller will find the Mechlan Dressing•caso espe-
cially adapted to his necessities.-4, Leadenhall-street.

A FRENCH MYSTERY IN THE LAST CENTURY,

Viscount Wall was one of the bravest of men. One
day ho desired his valet-de-chambre to put up the
articles of dress and toilet necessary for a short absence
from Paris, and to order his carriage for an early hour
next morning. At the time indicated, the post-chaise
was at the door. He told his wife that he should be
absent only a day or two, and stepping into the chaise
desired the postillion to drive to Fountainbleau. Hav-
ingand k
arrived
his
d at Fountainbleau, he repaired to the Hotel
de Turenne, where he was well known, ordered dinner,

into the forest, but
It was then about four o'clock. He did not return to
dinner, nor that night, a circumstance which caused the
proprietor of the hotel, who loved and respected him,
much alarm, and induced him next morning to acquaint
the authorities of the town with the facts. He also
apprised some Mends of Wall, officers of the garrison,
of his disappearance. A large party in consequence set
off for the forest in the direction that Wall had taken,
and there dispersed. For a considerable time their
search was fruitless, but at length in a remote and un-
frequented part of the forest they found the dead body
of Wall, nearly covered by a drift of fallen leaves. He
had been run through the body. His sword lay by his
side ; his purse filled with money was in his pocket ;
his watch in his fob. The body was removed to the
hotel, and thence to Paris. This melancholy affair be-
came the topic of conversation at court, in the salons,
and other assemblies of high life. In one of them a
friend of Wall, an Irishman of distinction, repelled the
idea that he had fallen in a duel. "Wall, he said,
was not surpassed as a swordsman ; he could not have
meta
nsutpheisrior. He was basely murdered." Next
in
poste, couched
that Wall was assassinated. It is false. If you are

LIVERPOOL.-FEB. 4.

We have again liberal arrivals of wheat, oats, flour, and
oatmeal. A large majority of the grain markets of the
United Kingdom likewise appear to have been overdon a by
supply, and, with a limited demand prices have poi] rted
downwards. At this mornings market, though the busi-
ness transacted was upon a small scale in any article of the
grain trade, a better feeling prevailed, and the declino
prices would appear to have met a firm check. Inio
weather continues very mild and open for the season.

WAKEFIELD—FEB. 4.
Average for the week ending Jan. 31—Wheat 3,850 cll?'
at 48s 54d ; barley 1,027, 34s 9?d ; oats 137, 21s 54q.-
beans 97, 37s 9id ; peas, 10, 38s 6d. The arrivals of gratin
reported this week are good. Wheat must be noted is to
2s per quarter cheaper, and the business passing is a
limited extent ; our misers still acting in the reserve, and
being generally disposed to work down their stocks, they
report the flour trade very dull. Barley is per quarter.
oats id per stone, and shelling 6d per load lower.

BRISTOL SUGAR—FEB. 4.
There has not been much doing in West India, princi-
pally on account of the very limited extent to which the
brokers' offices have been supplied with samples. In the
few sales effected prices have not varied materially frol'a
those stated last week. In Mauritius there has beon
more active business doing, and very nearly 1,000 bags
have been sold. Prices have been the turn lower tha all
the market of this day se'nnight. In refined goods the TO la
very little doing, but as grocers' stocks must be shrinking,
some improvement may be early looked for. In rum the
sales are unimportant, having been confined to a few pun"
cheons of Jamaica of good quality for present ihul>oo3B'
The prices have not transpired.

EXETER—FEB. 4.
CORN EXCHANGE.—The price of corn having for so. 001
weeks been on the decline in Mark-lane, it has ha a an
influence on our markets, and prices are not so high to -dal,
as was the case last week. For prime English wheat Co
to 6s 9d per bushel of 601 b., according to the now reg;a23-
Lion, was obtained. Inferior samples varied in price,
cording to quality. Foreign wheat sold at from 5s 6d too
7s per bushel. Malting ditto, 48 ; grinding ditto, 3s Bd. ;
oats, 2s 5d to 2s 7d. The prices of flour at to-day's mar-
ket are 38s and 39s per sack.
CATTLE MARK ET.—Prime beef, Bs6d. to Bs9dper score ;
quality, 7s 6d. to 8s ; cows and calves, 9/ to 12112 s ; steerir
001 to 0l; butcher's calves, 6d to 6id per lb; sheep, prime'
wethers, 6 to 6d; ewes, 51 to 6d; store hogs, 28s to 35s i;
pigs—large, 40s ; slips, 16s ; suckers, 6s to 7s.
PORK CARCASE —The supply was not so large so
last week, and the prices ranged from 8s Od to 9s Od per
score. •

PANNlER.—Turkeys, 5s to 8s ; geese, ssod to ss6d each ;
ducks, 4s to 5s 6d ' • fowls, 3s to 4s 6d per cple ; roasters, 4s to

THROWING STONES AT A RAILWAY TRAIN.—The Bath
magistrates have just inflicted a punishment for this
dangerous offence which we hope will act as a caution to
other mischievous persons. A lad, named Francis Sims,
was charged by Mr. Burton, the superintendent of the
Great Western Railway police, with throwing a stone,
about a quarter of a pound in weight, at the up express
train, as it was passing through a very deep cutting near
Bath. His worship said it was well for the prisoner,
and others like him, to know the punishment to which
they rendered themselves liable for this offence. He
might be sent to the assizes to take his trial, and if there
found guilty, he would be transported for the term of
his natural life. As Mr. Burton, however, had not
pressed the charge under that Act of Parliament, tke
prisoner would be fined 101.—in default, to be impri-
soned for three calendar months.
