NEW ZEALAND.—Papers have been received from
Wellington, New Zealand, to the 25th of July, by the
Lord Nelson, arrived at Deal. The only intelligence
they contain is, that the election of members for the
Provisional Council and House of Representatives was
proceeding without excitement.
NEW YORK MONEY-MAIIKET.—The accounts from
New York this week, as regards the state of the money-
market, are more favourable than for some time past,
and a conviction seems to have been prevalent at the
departure of the steamer that the recovery from the
recent pressure would henceforth be rapid and perma
nent. The banks, by which a contraction of circulation
had been effected during the past 12 weeks to the extent
of 2,800,0001., were now in a position of strength, and
were expected to discount with comparative freedom
as soon as the shipments of specie to Europe should
have further subsided—a result which had become cer-
tain, the rate of exchange having already experienced
a marked decline, while for the future it would
be affected by continued shipments of breadstuffs
and cotton. Under these circumstances, the rate
of discount had receded from 15 per cent. to
12 in one day, but meanwhile several failures
had been announced. None of them, however,
were in connection with regular trade, all the ordinary
transactions of commerce still exhibiting the greatest
soundness. The parties were Mr. H. Dwight, jun., a
banker and stockdealer, for 80,0001. ; Messrs. Leggett,
Brothers, and Co., a commission house, for 85,0001. ;
L. H. Pratt, of Buffalo, a forwarding house, for 8,000/. ;
the Owego (New York) Bank, with a capital of 40,0001. ;
the Patchin Bank, at Buffalo (New York), with a circu-
lation of 23,000/. ; and the Bank of Massillon (Ohio).
At the same time Diamond and Co., the sugar refiners
of Bristol, Rhode Island, who failed about a fortnight
previously for a large amount, had paid their creditors
80 per cent., and obtained a full discharge. In other
respects there was nothing new. Cold weather appeared
to have set in, and the probability of an early closing of
the canals was discussed with interest in its bearing on
the supply of grain and flour from the west, although,
owing to the extension of railroads, the influence of such
an event would be great by less than in former years.
BUSINESS OF THE PORT OF LONDON.—As regards the
general business of the port of London during the past
week, there were 251 vessels reported inward, being 26
less than in the previous week. The total quantity of
grain reported amounted to 51,157 quarters, including
24,146 quarters of , wheat. In addition, there were
3,001 barrels and 998 sacks of flour, 4,757 bags of rice,
and 754 tons of potatoes. Of sugar there were 240 hogs-
heads, 197 casks, and 650 cases reported ; of coffee,
1,631 bags and 740 casks ; of 'cocoa, 961 bags ; of tea,
15,250 packages ; and of hops, 1,541 bales. The number
of vessels cleared out was 125, being 3 more than in the
previous week. Of these 19 were in ballast, and 15
for the Australian colonies. The actual exports to those
colonies included, among other things, 391,215 yards of
calicoes, plain and part-dyed, 5,440 yards of carnbrics,
gauzes, &c., and goods of the declared value of 51,6611.
COLONEL DOUGLAS PENNANT.—A deputation of ten
gentlemen, desirous of the preservation of the language
and literature of Wales, has just waited, by appoint-
ment, on the Hon. Col. Douglas Pennant, at Pernrchei3'.

Castle, near Bangor, in order to solicit him to
president of the Eisteddfod, which, pursuant to recent
public proclamation, will be held in Bangor in 1854, in
accordance with the bardic rules of Britain. The
Colonel gave the deputation a most courteous reception,
but declined the proposed honour, as he was not a
Welshman. He also strongly objected to the holding
of an Eisteddfod, alleging that he thought nr o practical
good resulted from such ephemeral
gatherings.

of the gs If,

part of the principality by the establishment of schools,

ertions were at their command. The deputation then
retired, and, at a meeting held immediately after, it was
resolved that Mr. Bulkeley Hughes, the member for the
borough, should be requested to accept the presidency.
THE PASSENGER ACT.—Four informations were heard
yesterday before the Liverpool magistrates against
Captain R. D. Robertson, of the clipper-ship Guiding
Star, which was forced by stress of weather and the
cholera, to put into Belfast a few days ago, on her pas-
sage from Liverpool to New York. The charges were
made under the Passenger Act, on the complaint of
Captain Schomberg, of the Government Emigration-
office, and were for an alleged infringement of the 19th,
21st, 22d, and 33d sections of that act. They were to
the effect that uncooked provisions were given to the
emigrants ; that the hospital for women had not been
maintained ; that a number of waterclosets had been
cleared away, leaving fewer than required by law; and
female
passengers the bulkhead dividing the male from the
passengers had been removed after the ship left port.

MILITARY QUARREL—The following affair appears to
have caused a little sensation from the rank of the par-
ties concerned. About two weeks ago an affray of
very novel character took_ place in the Citadel barrack-
yard,
'a
Corfu, between Lieut.-Colonel Denny, 71st High-
landers, and Dr. Barry, the deputy inspector general of
hospitals, and principal medical officer at that station.
It appears that the doctor found fault with the colonel
for drilling his men so much in the sun, which gave rise
to a stormy altercation between then), during which the
colonel demanded the doctor's whip, alleging that he (the
doctor) made use of it
in a menacing manner towards

SPORTING NOTES.

FACTS AND SCRAPS.

The meeting which will take place at Newton ou
Thursday possesses scarcely more than local interest;
and although its programme presents a strong array of
entries, yet it comprises no event of sufficient importance
to excite the attention of the betting fraternity. Specu-
lation on the Handicap Plate has been confined to two
animals only—Solyman and Bethgelbert—and the in-
vestments on the steeple chase have been apparently
regulated by the adage of " letting I dare not wait upon
I would."

The movements in the turf maket have been mainly
connected with the Derby. Relative to certain horses
they are marked by a deepening significance and grow-
ing importance. Autocrat steadily maintains the posi-
tion of leading favourite, and the hostility of his oppo-
nents is neither determined nor well directed. Hie fur-
ther advance in the betting may be anticipated with
confidence for a heavy commission to " get on" still re-
mains unexecuted. Layers, however, are scarce and
shy. The spirited support which Autocrat receives
exercises no discouraging effect on the backers of King
Tom. Dervish, too, has an " upward tendency," and
the desire evinced to back Wild Huntsman is unmis-
takeable. A satisfactory "letter of recommendation"
has been sent to me about Old Noll. who is described as
an " outsider" of much mark and likelihood.
_

Books are alreadyopened on the Chester Cup and
Liverpool Steeple Chase. For the latter event the Bri-
tishlreoman has, among others, been in slight demand. I
aminformed, however, that he broke down badly a few
days back, and that all the skill and ingenuity of Mr.
Major, and the science and ability of the College of
Veterinary Surgeons will never be able to set him on
his legs again.

The early closing movement is now being adopted in
quick succession at the principal metropolitan betting-
offices, their proprietors "shutting up shop" before the
suppression act comes into operation, as a well bred dog
when he sees preparation on foot for kicking him out,
quietly walks into the street.

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The acoounts connected with the sports of the previous
week chiefly occupied the attention of the members, who
mustered somewhat numerously. Coming events were
but slightly regarded.

to the Derby, for which the favourite was backed for
about 300/. at 6 to 1 ; 10 to 1 taken to 1001. about King
Tom, 14 to 1 to .50/. about Dervish, and 1,000 to 40
about Acrobat.

Hesse Cassel and Ruby, after a rather long interval
of quiet, were again in good demand ; the former was
backed for upwards of 1501. at the odds quoted, and the
latter for various sums at prices ranging from 33 to 25
to 1 ; 1,000 to 25 and 1,000 to 30 taken about Neville,
1,000 to 30 Marsyas, 1,000 to 25 Corin.

THE MURDER IN NORFOLK.—Some further discoveries
have been made in reference to the murder of Lorenzo
Belia, of Norwich, of which an account was given in The
Sun of yesterday. It appears that Mr. S. Hermann, of
Lynn, an intimate friend, and formerly a partner of the
deceased, went on Sunday morning to Tittleshall, and
knowing that Belia was in the course of his journey to
that village, in order to take a watch to a person there,
but no watch having been found, suggested that a more
minute search should be made in the premises ° f th
prisoner Thompson. The search was accordingly °
and in the course of it one of the police-officers opened
the door of an oven, which contained several pairs
of boots, upon which the prisoner's father said,
"Oh, that has been searched before." The officer of
boots
course persisted, and behind the found a silver
watch, with the name " L. Bella as maker. In the chim-
ney were also found another watch,
and in the watercloset a canvas bag, or purse, containing
a Geneva watch, two 5/. notes of the Lynn and Lin-
colnshire bank, two sovereigns, four half-sovereigns, and
1/. in silver. In the house were also found a bunch of
watchkeys, and another of larger keys , but it has not
yet been ascertained whether either of the' keys would
fit the deceased's box, as it remains sealed up at
Litcham, the place where the magistrates meet. The
deceased was a German Catholic, not a Jew. He
was unmarried, and had no relatives in England.
The prisoner owed money to the deceased on account
of the watch he had purchased of him. Until the
inquest, and the final hearing before the magistrates,
Thompson will be kept at Walsingham Gaol. Ilia
general character' is said to be bad, and that of his
family by no means good. It appears. that Thompson
had for several days been seen lurking near the spot
where the body of Belia was found. Two men who had
been working near the place were at first taken into
custody on suspicion, but were released on its being
proved that Thompson had been seen in the vicinity of
the spot in question. Some of the witnesses stated that
they saw Thompson going towards the place, and that
as they approached be leaned over the gate of a turnip
field in which he ought to have been at work, and on
their making some remark about his idleness, replied,
or two." It has also been
" I'll have them up in a day
ascertained that after Thompson crossed the fields on
Friday, he went home and changed his clothes. When
the discovery of the body was made Thompson mixed
with the crowd, and quite unconcernedly followed the
cart containing the corpse to the Griffin Inn, Tittleshall.
A shirt and jacket stained with blood have been found
at his house, and also a heavy pair of highlow boots,
which have apparently been washed, but still retain
traces
of blood between the tongues and the lace-holes.
GROSS OUTRAGE IN A CHURCH.— A most wanton and
unjustifiable outrage has been perpetrated on a Protes-
tant church at Warmsworth, between two and three
miles from Doncaster. The occurrence took place some
time during the night of Wednesday last, and those who
committed it commenced their attack on the building
by first throwing stones at the windows from the out-
side, a number of which they broke. They then pro-
ceeded to force open the church doors, but not succeei-
ing, they went to a window on the north side of the
church, broke the glass, tore away the lead from the
squares, and removed the cagement by which they
were enabled to creep through. Having thus obtained
an entrance, they pulled down the communion rail' and
demolished the stone font. Nothing but the base of the
font remains to indicate that one stood there. The
e
velvet cushion on the top of the pulpit and the one on
the clerk's reading desk, as well as a great number of
the cushions and hassocks in, the pews, were cut and
torn, and the stuffing strewed about the church and
graveyard. Some woodwork near the communion table
was also pulled down and broken. The stone near the same
place is also pulled up. A number of the books belonging to
the congregation have been torn and otherwise damaged
and thrown about the church. Several loose seats used
by the poorer class of the congregation were broken and
piled one over another. After they had broken or
damaged everything they came in contact within the
sacred edifice, they proceeded to remove the lid or top
stone M a tomb, which they rolled over in the church-
yard, and left it there. It is pretty evident that the
object of the depredators was to gratify sonic private
feeling of revenge, and not to plunder, fur, although
there is a blue cloth missing, there were articles of value
in the church which could have been taken away with-
, out much difficulty. The present is not the first time
that the property of the church has been damaged, but
not to such a serious extent. A reward will be offered
for the apprehension and conviction of the offenders.
AV INFANT NOMINATED TO BE SHERIFF.—Mr. Waiter
de Winton, of Maestrigh Castle, nominated by the
judges the first on the list to be sheriff of Radnorshire,
is an infant, and extensive preparations are being made
to commemorate his attaining his majority at the end of
the present month of November. There is, we believe,
no former example of an infant being nominated to be
sheriff. Mr. de Winton will be of age before the
"pricking" of the list of sheriffs.
