ITES.

A PEEP AT CO VENTRY.

The meeting which will take: place to-morrow at Co-
ven try is the only important " picture" of the week. It
possesses attractions sufficiemtl y powerful to command
the attention of metropolita a speculators, although the
races "set" for decision are likely to be marked by no
incident of enduring interest. So little thought of, in-
deed, are the different events at present that a discussion
of this probable result of the sport seems scarcely neces-
sary. Looking at the compai ative chances of the horses
as they appear on paper, I an i inclined to believe that for
the Handicap they are in fav( ►ur of Little Davie, Georgey,
and -.:Slassaroni. That the i Wended of Wadlow's horses
—either Bourton or Trout —will carry off the Steeple-
chase, is generally regard( as a foregone conclusion ;
and the success of Theo. line for the Hurdle Race may
make the winners sing " Happy Land." By the way, a
board, near the course at Coventry, states that " This
Land may be sold o advantage," an announcement
which may have priculiar significance if considered in
connection with this event. At any rate, before com-
mencing " operation" on Theodine, it may be as well
to reflect whether the ominous suggestion of those words
is likely to be carried out.
The betting on the leading events of the season is now
conducted with increasing activity. For the Derby a
strong current of prejudice has set in against Autocrat,
whose partisans, however, still buoy him up, though
some% chat unsteadily, on the sea of speculation. The
recen t running of Hungerford and Orestes has too some-
whatt, shaken the confidence of King Tom's supporters,
who, however, still boastingly proclaim their belief in
the he use's superior pretensions. Dervish has advanced
two cif- three points in the betting, and notwithstanding
tie demonstrations which are occasionally made in favour
of hiu stable companion Acrobat, the opinion as to his
being the champion of his stable is gradually obtaining
confirmation. Wild Huntsman has re-appeared in the
list of quotations with increased prominence. He is
said to be greatly improved, and his partisans evidently
do not la,:k confidence in his racing ability.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

WOOL.

Since the close of the public sales, the business doing in
foreign and colonial wool has been limited, but we have no
change to notice in prices. Fine English qualities move
off steadily, on former terms ; but inferior parcels are neg-
lected. Last week's imports were 101 bales from Shanghai,
17 from Hamburgh, and 331 from the Cape.

THE NEW FRENCH LOAN.

The subjoined notification regarding the new French
loan of 10,000,000/. was posted on Saturday after-
noon in the Stock Exchange. It is to be open both
in Paris and London, and gives an option of se-
lecting Four•and-a-Half per Cents. or Three per Cents.,
the prices in each case being so calculated as to
bring them, after reckoning the accruing interest
on the one hand and the commission to the agents
on the other, nearly 21 per cent. (2.40) below the
quotations current at the close of Friday's Bourse.
Under these circumstances it is not improbable a coml.
derable portion may be taken on this side the adverse
influence which the decline in the bullion of the Bank of
England would be likely to exercise on such an operation
being counteracted by the tendency to a proportionate
increase in that of the Bank of France :

" FRENCH LOAN.
" Messrs. C. Devaux and Co. have opened a subscription
for the above loan, applications for whfili can be made at
their office, 62, King William-street, ; at, Messrs. J. Hut-
chinson and Son's, 39, Luthbnry : and Mr. T.
23, Threadneedle-street. A commission a A per cent.
will be charged on the amount allotted.

French Government has taken for a lengthened time, at
a high rental. The hon. member, we understand, gays
up possession of the edifice to the Atuhandor oA

SEEDS.

Linseed continues in request, at very full prices. There
is a fair demand for hempseed, at extreme quotations.
Fine qualities of clover seed are steady ; but inferior par-
cels command very little attention. Cakes are quite as dear
as last week.

The Pantheon, ashore at .Rhosnagir, near Holyhead, lies
with her broadside to the bank, inside a reef, with part of
her keel and de&d-wood out, and tills with the tide. If the
weather continues moderate, the cargo may be saved, but
the ship, it is feared, will become a total wreck.

FRANCE.

The Times Paris correspondent says in his letter
dated yesterday, 6 p.m. :—The Moniteur an-
nounces in its number of to-day the fact I men-
tioned yesterday, namely, the arrival of the Prince
of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, and also states that
he comes on " a confidential mission from his
Majesty the King of Prussia to the Emperor of the
French." From all I have been able to learn to-
day, the " mission " alluded to is no other than
what I mentioned yesterday, to give explanation
about the neutrality of Prussia, and to declare
that that neutrality means nothing hostile or un-
friendly to France nor favourable to Russia. I have
not heard that the Prince has yet had an interview
with M. Drouyu de Lhuya ar with the Emperor, at

IN RE CROCKER.

. This was the certificate meeting in the case of J. B.
Crocker, draper of Sheffield. The accounts, prepared
by Mr. Pettis, showed rather a favourable state of
affairs. His debts were 2,3001., with assets sufficient to
yield 10s. in the pound. The case had been brought to
this court owing to the bulk of the creditors residing in
London.

His Honour, after remarking on the large deprecia-
tion in the value of the stock, said that the bankrupt's
conduct had been very discreditable, in attempting to
dispose of part of his property after he had made an
assignment, for the sake of reimbursing his wife's trus-
tees. Nothing could justify such conduct. Had he
done it before making the assignment he would have stood
in a different position ; as it was, it was a commercial
offence of a very grave character, which must be visited
by a long suspension of the certificate. It must be sus-
pended for 12 months ; when granted, to be of the third
class. As the assignees did not object to it, protection
would be given for three months, renewable at the end
of that time.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ADMIRALTY COLTRT-JiN. 20.
THE CLARENCE.-COLLISION.

This was an action brought by the owners of the col-
lier brig Maria (200 tons) against the Clarence, a steamer
of 426 tons, belonging to the General Steam Navigation
Company, to recover compensation for the damages
caused by a collision which occurred on the night of Sun-
day the 6th of March last. The brig was on her voyage
from Colchester to the north, in ballast, for a cargo, and
at about tea o'clock on the night in question she was
sailing at the rate of about two and a half or three knots
an hour, and was about three miles north of Nasborough
Light, on the coast of Norfolk. The night, it was al-
leged was clear, and a vessel could be discerned at the
distance of two miles. The brig showed the proper lights,
and was close hauled on the larboard tack. The steamer
was reported, and a boy was sent with a lanthorn to the
larboard bow, where he remained until he was knocked
'own by the collision, for the steamer held on until she
truck the brig with great violence. The master of the
prig set the pumps to work, and contrived to get safe
back to Colchester.
On the part of the steamer (which was on her voyage
from Edinburgh to London) it was denied that the brig
had shown the proper lights. The night was hazy, and
there was a small continual rain, so that the brig could
not be distinguished until she was within five or six
lengths distance. The master of the Clarence ordered
the helm to be put hard sport and the engines to be
eased ; but finding that the sailing vessel was following
her up at the rate of 6 or 7 knots an hour, he directed
the engines to be put on again, in order, if possible, to
run away from her, but she came stem on into the

steamer.
Dr. Haggard and Dr. Twiss appeared for the brig ;
Dr. Addams and Dr. Robinson for the steamer.
The Trinity Masters being of opinion that the Cla-
rence was to blame,
The Court pronounced for the damages.

JO-CRT OF BANKRUPTCY--JAN. 20.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE ROPER.

This was the last examination meeting in the case of
c. g, Roper, chemist and druggist, of Hackney. His
lebts were 1,686/. ; assets, in good debts, 1511. The
profits had been 5881. ; expenses and losses, 2,0791.
Mr. Stophe opposed for the assignees, on the ground
that the bankrupt had given no account of his partner-
ship transactions with a Mr. Watson. He had also passed
away his property by means of two bills of sale.
Mr. Duncan, for the bankrupt, stated that there had
been little or no trading under the partnership.
His Honour directed an adjournment, the question of
costs to be reserved.

BONUS TO SHAREHOLDERS.

fromE COUNTIES AND METROPOLITAN
FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.
- - -

A Bonus of 51. Ss. 4d. per cent. will be added to the past year's
subscriptions, and in future interest at the rate of 51. Bs. 4d. per cent.
per annum will be given on all subscriptions, with such additional
bonus at the end of the year as the profits of the Society may allow.
Two Estates have been purchased for this Society daring the past
year—that at Wood-green (chiefly allotted) has been very satisfac-
tory and profitable, both to the allottees and the Society at large.
The other Estate (not yet allotted) promises to be a more successful
purchase than the first, there being a great demand for plots upon it.
It is situated in Wimbledon-park, in the midst of gentlemen's seats,
and is adapted for first-class villas.
There are two special advantages in this Society, viz., members
are not required to pay down any part of the price of the land prior
to choosing plots. The full amount of the shares drawn in the ballot
is advanced ; also that more shares are not drawn in the ballot than
can be supplied with land, so that the members may have the ad-
vantage of selling their drawn shares at a premium. A share in full
is 301., with an entrance fee of Is.

BRISTOL SUGAR—JAN. 20.
The chief feature in our market since our last report is
the sale of about 30,000 mats of Mauritius of the new crop
to arrive at very full prices. Of West India we have
scarcely any supply, and the transactions are limited to
about 200 hhds., chiefly Trinidads, at former rates. A
small cargo of Demerara is, however, now landing, but the
samples are not yet ready for the market. Refiners' pro-
duce does not participate in the active demand which exists
for the raw material, nor have the prices advanced in pro-
portion.

LIVERPOOL-JAN. 20.

At this day's market there was a full attendance of town
and country dealers. A brisk demand for wheat, nearly
all the samples offered having been cleared off at an im-
provement of fully 4d per Nibs. Flour met a good de-
mand, and may be quoted is per barrel dearer. Oats and
oatmeal a trifle easier to buy. Barley and beans without
alteration. In Indian corn the sales effected were at 6d to
is per qronors money.

MURDER IN DEAN FOREST.

murder has been com-
Ross, Friday.—A shocking
mitted in the township of West Dean, a blacksmith
named Henry Jones having fallen by the hand of a man
of the same name. The case has just come before the
coroner for the forest, Joseph Lovegrove, Esq., who
held an inquest on the body of the deceased, at which
the following facts were elicited in evidence:—
The deceased had, after finishing his day's work, been
drinking at a public-house, called the British Lion, and
left that place of entertainment about eleven o'clock, for
his home. He had got to within a short distance of his
home, when the prisoner met him, and accused him of
waylaying him in the highway for the purpose of rob-
bing him. The deceased denied that he had any such
intention, and blows followed between the parties, when
the prisoner drew a knife from his pocket and plunged
it into the deceased's abdomen, causing his bowels to
protrude to the length of three or four feet. The groans
of the wounded man were heard by his wifefat her cot-
tage, and he was taken home, where the surgeon was
promptly in attendance, but the deceased died in a few
hours afterwards, the intestines having also been cut.
A number of witnesses were examined at the inquest,
among whom were the deceased's widow, who deposed
to the fact that on the prisoner being brought into the
room shortly before the death of her husband, he at
once identified him as the man who had stabbed him.
This the prisoner (lid not deny. He admitted that he
had " used his knife about" Jones, but said the deceased
struck him first.
Mr. Griffin, superintendent of police, produced the
deceased's shirt and trousers, which were completely
saturated with blood. There was a hole in the trousers
corresponding with the wound on the deceased's person.
Mr. Wiglesworth, surgeon, of Coleford, described the
deceased's injuries, the chief of which was a cut in the
abdomen, from which several coils of the intestines pro-
truded. He was obliged to call in another surgeon, and
to enlarge the cut in the abdomen before he could return
the intestines to their proper position.
The Coroner having carefully summed up,
The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against
Henry Jones, who was committed for trial at Gloucester
assizes.

SAILORS' WAGES.—SHIELDS, THURSDAY NIGHT.—
Sailors' wages in the coal trade to London have been
61. per voyage from all the northern ports during the
winter. Coal freights, however, are very high, and a
meeting of sailors' delegates, representing Hartlepool,
Sunderland, the Tees, Shields, and Newcastle, has been
held in South Shields, this evening, with the object of
procuring a rise in wages commensurate with the ad-
vance in freights. After the opinions of the seamen of
the various ports were given, it was unanimously re-
solved to advance the wages from 6/. to 71. per London
voyage to-morrow morning, and 14 days hence to 8/. per
voyage. At a larie meeting of the body of seamen
afterwards held in" the Market-place these resolutions
were confirmed. The owners will pay the advance.
AUGMENTATION OF THE ARMY.—The Limerick Chro-
nicle says There is little doubt of an augmentation
of the present strength of the British army, by the re-
construction of second or reserve battalions, which will
be introduced in the military estimates by the Secretary
at War."

SPAIN.

We learn from the Madrid journals of the 20th
that the opposition senators and deputies were en-
gaged in signing their address to the Queen against
the system of government lately carried on. The
mortal remains of the deceased princess had been
interred at the Escuriel with the usual ceremonial.
The .Tieraldo says that there is no truth in a
report which was current that the garrison of
Madrid was about to be reinforced.
The Espana says :—" As Queen Maria Christina
was yesterday passing along the Calle de Alcala,
she met a priest carrying the sacrament to a poor
sick man. Her Majesty immediately got out of
her carriage, made the priest enter it, and followed
the vehicle with a wax candle in her hand through
the dirty streets to the sick man's residence ; after
which she proceeded on foot to the parish church."
The 15th being Sunday, the Stock Exchange was
not open.
