SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The Subscription-room was crowded until considerably beyond the
usual hour of closing, and, 'what with the settling for the Metro-
politan Handicap (which, by the way, would have been much easier
hadAhree or four parties been considerate enough to employ some
one to pay and receive for them) and speculating on the various
events now in the market, was reasonably hri.k. The odds laid,
however, were in several instances so conflicting, that, while be-
lieving our quotations to be very near the mark, we by no means
pledge ourselves for their entire accuracy. The most prominent
favourites for the Newmarket Handicap were Corranna, • Beaumont,
Arthur, and Spur, each having attained the position assigned him
below, after a rather liberal outlay, in the early part of the afternoon,
at 20 to 1. We did not observe any great inclination to back the
leading favourites for the Chester Cup, but Crim. Con., Vituia, and
Mermaid were decidedly in favour. The business on this race was
flat. Sting and Brocardo were not in demand for the Derby, but the
Traverser and Tom Tullock were; the latter at a great improve-
ment on last week's quotations. The betting also touched upon the
Oaks and Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, but did not exhibit any-
thing like a "feature." Closing prices :

NOVEL METHOD OF RELIEVING THE DISTRESSED.—
The following method of relieving the unemployed operatives has
been adopted by Mr. Abraham Bairstow, of Horton. A square yard
is chalked. out on the causeway, on the highway-side in front of his
house, and he will pay one shilling a day to any matt who is destitute
of employment if he will stand within the square six hours a day for
twenty days, viz., from. nine o'clock in the morning to twelve at
noon, and from two to five o'clock in the afternoon. One man has
already accepted this benevolent offer, and is attracting a large illllleer of spectators every 41.11.-Ikaciford Maw.

ATLANTIC STEAMING.
(From Wainer and Smith's European Times.)
According to present appearances, it would seem that ex-
treme competition is to be the order of the day in the matter
of intercourse, by steam vessels, between America and Eng-
land; that the mighty ocean, dividing the two hemispheres,
is to be navigated as a mere river, and that rival Companies
are to enter the lists, each under the belief of achieving some
unheard of miracles, and, at the same time, to prove mines of
wealth to their several projectors.
We have all along been most earnest in promoting the full
development of steam, as the great agent for advancing the
welfare, happiness, and commercial prosperity of both coun-
tries. We have urged the necessity of as frequent com-
munication by steam as can be had consistent with per-
fect safety, and we shall be the first to rejoice in such
additions to the service as will, in themselves, have the
necessary power of efficiency and probability of commere
eial success. In embarking in a scheme of such magni-
titude, and involving a constant and enormous expenditure,
we feel it a duty to warn the projectors against anything
like precipitancy: great caution and judgment must, be
exercised in every movement, or lamentable failure will
inevitably attend the enterprise. Much will depend on the
parties projecting a line of steamers; and, before embarking
capital in such a business, one vital point is to scrutinize
most closely the motives of the projectors, and see that
nothing having any affinity to scheming can be detected
amongst the originators. With regard to published state-
ments of revenue and expenditure put forth as the basis for
establishing new companies, we value them correctly when
declaring them to be entirely the reverse of truth. What-
ever additions are to be made to the number of steam ves-
sels navigating the Atlantic, must be made on a right system
and by responsible parties; men whose commercial ex-
perience and ability enable them to judge correctly of
the nature of the difficulties of the service, as well as of the
opposition to be encountered, and the fallacy of estimates
founded on things as at present existing. It is certain that
with every new steamer entering the lists, a new means of
support has to be created. Let the various projectors consi-
der well the changes such additions to the already existing
force must bring about, and so embark in the business with a
full knowledge of the difficulties before them, as, without it,
they will be doing a public injury by making a backward
instead of an onward movement in ocean steaming.

Any new company entering the field ought to be in a po-
sition to contend with an extension of existing interests, and
be prepared for such changes as the altered nature of circum-
stances must inevitably produce. It is quite certain, that
the parties at present engaged in the service have the power
and means of increasing the number of their vessels to any
extent the service can employ ; the vigour and efficiency of
their doings serve as ample warranties of their moving on•
wards, and that they will be fully prepared for encountering
any competition. We observe that our French neighbours
are again stirring the question of steam between that country
and America, so that appearances are in favour of numerous
parties entering on this service. Our desire is that the
matter may be well weighed by all, and that whatever is
done, may be done as it should be, so as to secure that safety
and full efficiency which the public of the great nations in-
terested have a right to demand.
It is no new feature in these and all such concerns, that
whenever they are not remunerative, the service deteriorates,
and our only fear is, that if any headlong haste is shown in
the matter a serious mischief instead of good will result.
Instead of the present powerful and vigorous establishments
being carried to the full extent of their capabilities, and
made equal to any necessity, we may have several com-
panies, none of which will be in a position to do what is
needed, We say, then, let the commercial communities of
both countries look to this matter.

COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From Wilbur and ilinithlt European Times)
The commercial accounts from all parts of the country are
desponding and gloomy. With the solitary exception of the
iron trade, in which great activity prevails, owing to tem-
porary causes, there is not a branch of manufacturing in-
dustry which is not suffering more or less under paralysis:
In many of the manufacturing towns there are thousands of
workmen out of employment; the markets for all descrip-
tions of produce are in a state of stagnation; stocks are
daily on the increase, with sinking prices and a diminishing
consumption ; and, in short, a condition of things exist
which threatens to suspend all the ordinary functions of
commercial and manufacturing industry.
It is hardly neccessary to state that this depression, which
every week renders more galling and ruinous, has its primary
origin in the uncertainty which still hangs about the fate of
the tariff. Other causes, undoubtedly, contribute to fetter
the wheels of trade, but the great impediment is the one at
which we have glanced. A panic appears to be impending.
The despondency is daily on the increase; and many per-
sons in business, influenced probably by their fears, labour
under the impression that the measure will yet be strangled
in one or the other House of Parliament. So potent is this
prestige of evil, that Sir Robert Peel, on the evening of Wed-
nesday last, felt bound to renew the assurance of his desire
to carry out his commercial policy with the least possible
delay. We have alluded more in detail to the subject in
another column, and we notice it here for the purpose of in-
dicating what we sincerely believe to be a groundless appre-
hension, and to point out, at the same time, its blighting ef-
fect on every description of business.
In order to give as much freedom as possible to the opera-
tions of the commercial world, under existing circumstances,
Ministers, as most of our readers know, issued recently a
Treasury order for the payment of the reduced duties, the
parties giving a bond that, if the Peers threw out the Bill,
the old scale of duties would be paid. This was a wise and
a liberal move in the right direction, and advantage to some
extent has been taken of it. But the risk involved has been
too great to allow its general adoption. The public have
derived little or no benefit from the arrangement; for the in-
ducement to increased consumption has been neutralised, by
the retail price of the various articles being little below their
former level. Indeed, all such temporary expedients par-
take of the character of gambling—speculation is, perhaps,
a more legitimate phrase. For the risk encountered, the
profit must be correspondingly heavy.
The gloom which hangs over business has ;been gradually
deepening during the last six weeks—the last fortnight being
the darkest of all. Under the most favourable circumstance,
there seems-little chance of seeing the new tariff on the
statute-book before the end of May ; and it will be at least
the middle of that month before the critical stage—the
second reading—can have passed the upper branch of the
Legislature. If, unhappily, the measure should be thrown
out, the summer will be consumed in the turmoil of a general
election, and autumn will hardly see the new Parliament
assembled. Then the war of words will recommence, em-
bittered by disappointed hopes and individual suffering;
and even supposing the free traders to have a majority,
their policy cannot come into play before the end of the
present or the commencement of the following year. But
if, on the contrary, a Protectionist Ministry is formed,
and attempts to govern the country, the battle will
be still further prolonged, and the intensity of commercial
and national sufferings fearfully increased.. While we hope
for the best, it is just as well to glance at the dark—at the
worst side of the picture • and his must indeed be a bold
he9rt that can, without shuddering at the temerity, be a
party to convulsing this great commercial nation by
a struggle so intense, that all the elements of society would
stand a chance of being reduced to their chaotic condition.
The stoutest hearts may stand appalled, when it contemplates
the consequences which must inevitably result from the re-
jection of a policy, to which every man in the kingdom, who
has the least pretensions to the character of a practical
statesman, is irrovocably wedded ; a policy which is opposed
solely by the heavy country squires; by a sporting lord or
two, whose knowledge of arithmetic is confined to "making
a book" at Newmarket and Epsom ; and by a flashy orator,
clever at rounding a period, and manufacturing excitable
works of fiction, whose dreamy enthusiasm scorns all ap-
proach to the practical.
An important trial took place at Exeter lately, in which
the directors of a projected railway brought au action
against a party to whom, on his own application, they had
allotted a number of shares. The allottee refused to take
up the shares or pay the original deposit, which amounted
to some 21. or 31. per share. As the company had con-
tracted engagements, they offered to compromise the affair
on payment of 3s. per share. The party refused, the action
was brought, and the jury gave the directors a verdict for
the full amount of the shares. This decision has spread uni-
versal consternation, for thousands upon thousands of parties,
suspended between respectability and ruin, are in the position
of the defendant in this action. Like rats in a cage, they
are preying upon and devouring each other.
While upon the subject of railways, we may be permitted,
en passant, to
,glance at those connecting the British pro-
vinces with the United States, respecting which a consider-
able interest is felt by many persons on this side of the
water. We regret to find, in our advices by the last arrival
from Halifax, that the war of words had been raging in the
House of Assembly at Halifax, N.S., on the subject of the
projected line of railway from that city to Quebec and
Montreal. We fancy these differences arise out of political
feelings, which, in such matters, should not be allowed to
interfere. Our Nova Scotia friends must settle their dif-
ferences soon, or we shall be travelling to Montreal, yid
Boston,
.Fitchburg, Hartfo:d, Montpellier, Burlington, and
St. Johns; and by a branch from Burlington to Kingston
and Toronto, vid Plattsburgh and Odensburgh. We under-

th recently referred to
which Indian Corn, as an article of food, is attaining
popularityin
this
country. It will prove, ere long, a valuable export. The
Government is most anxious that it should supersede, to a
great extent, the potato amongst the labouring poor, and the
recent scarcity of that esculent is favourable to its introduc-
tion. Cargoes of Indian Corn are daily reaehing the British
ports from the United States, and large quantities have been
released from bond, duty free, under the Treasury order
already mentioned. Shops for its exclusive retail sale are
being opened in many of the large towns, and the American
mode of using it is generally adopted.
The Corn market, pending the discussions of the Govern-
ment scheme, is, like all the Produce markets, in a complete
state of stagnation. Prices vary but little, and parties merely
purchase from hand to mouth to satisfy their im mediatereq .

publication to which we refer declares emphatically, that
under the new arrangement the price of corn will oscillate
between 455. and 48s. per quarter. Without entering into
the minutia of the question, we may, observe, that if this
calculation prove accurate, it will leave an ample margin for
the profit of the United States' and Canadian exporters. But
the British farmers are getting up the steam in the race of
competition, and every improvement in tilling, draining, and
the most scientific application of capital is being pressed into
their service.

Our Bamberg correspondent, under date of the 2Sth ult.,
says, the emigration from Germany to the United States this
year would have been very great, if it had not been that the
Oregon question deters many from going, as they fear a war.
The uncertainty about the new tariff in the United States
prevents goods from going forwaid, and will greatly lessen
the receipt of duties in theUnitedStates for the first half of
this year, so that the apprehension of war is almost as bad as
war itself. There is a report that, the Zollverein intend in-
creasing Considerably the duties on American tobacco, and it
is very probable this increase will take place if the Amercian
Gevernment refu•le to, ratify the Zollverein treaty. The
price of wheat and grain of every kind is falling in Germany,
as there is every prospect of large crops this season.

LITERATURE.

The PUIVJAUB, being a brie Account of the. Country
of the Seihhs., By Lieutenant-Colonel Steinbaele.

This is a second edition of the work published last
year, bringing down the history to the present time, and
including a narrative of the recent campaign of the
Sutlej. Great events have occurred during the brief
space, but even these will not strike the reader more
than the history-of the changes that had taken place in
the Government since the death of Runjeet Singh, in
1839. It exhibits but one continued scene of murder
and usurpation. The Old Lion was succeeded by his son,
Kurruck Singh, who was soon deposed by his own son,
Noo-Nehal, and afterwards died of poison. Nuo-Nehal,
in returning from his father's funeral, mounted on an
elephant, met with a fatal accident, believed to have
been the work of assassins : the elephant on which ha
rode, in passing through the gates of the palace, pushed
against the brick-work, when the whole came down
and, fracturing the skull of the Maharaja, he
expired in a few hours. Shere Singh, a twin son of
Runjeet by his wife Mehtab, after bombarding
Lahore, succeeded to the throne, and shortly after -
murdered the mother of Noo-Nehal, who had opposed
him, and for some months acted as regent. The army
rose against Shere, compelled him to dismiss all the
European officers, and finally became reconciled to his
Government; but other enemies sprung up; who soon
cut off his head, to make room for Heera Singh, who
met the same fate. More murders and usurpations fol-
lowed, till the nation acknowledged the present Maharaja
Dhuleep Singh, a youth of ten years of age, and reputed
son of Runjeet, who is under the tutelage of his mother,
called the Ranee. The work contains besides a brief
account of the climate, the military forces, the state of
manufactures, the origin of the Seikhs, and other par-
ticulars, which are far too much compressed. Lieut.-
Colonel Steinbach had served ten years in the &itch
army, and must have had many opportunities of obtain-
ing information, which we regret has been so sparingly
communicated. That would have been much more
acceptable to the reader than copies of the late dis-
patches, which are to be seen in any newspaper.

MARKET NEWS.—(YESTERDAY)
c 0 UN C HAN Cx E.
Last week's arrivals of English Wheat, Barley, and Oats were
tolerably good, and of full average quality, while those of Malt were
somewhat extensive. Of other kinds of grain, as well as Flour, of
home produce, the supplies were rather limited. From Scotland very
little grain of any description came to hand. The same remark nittY
be applied to the Irish supplies, as well as those received from
abroad, if we except those of Beans, being large. Fresh up, coast-
wise as well as by land-carriage and samples, the supply of Wheat
of home produce, was but moderate, yet the stands were moderately
well tilled wit% parcels of both red and white. The attendance of
both town and country buyers being on the increase the finest qua-
lities sold steadily at prices fully equal to, but at nothing hese. iid.
those obtained on this day se'nnight. The middling and
inferior parcels were, however, a dull sale, at barely
last week's quotations. At the close of the market a total clearance
was not effected. The importers of foreign Wheat having released *
very small quantity of grain at the prevailing duties for some time
past, the show of that article to-day, free of duty, was extremelY•
small, yet the demand for it was inactive, and previous figures were,
with difficulty supported, notwithstanding the comparative firreness
on the part of the holders. A eemewkat increased number of bonded,
parcels of Wbeat on show. Although the holders were anxious gel
lers, and would have submitted to a trifling reduction in prices,
very feW speculators appeared ; consequently, the transactions
were on a very limited scale, at about nominal figures.
The supply of Barley, both English and Foreign, was by no means
large. The best malting parcels supported late rates, but griuding
and distilling sorts were very dull, and prices were with difficulty
supported. Having a large quantify of Malt on offer, that article
was a very slow Inquiry. The best white parcels moved off in re-
tail at previous figures ; but other kinds were a mere drug. The arrivals
of Oats from all parts having been small, the Oat trade was tolerablY,
steady, and last week's prices were fairly supported. We understand
the shipments of Oats from the principal Irish ports have been on •
limited scale for some time past. The supply of Beans was some'
what on the increase. All descriptions moved off slowly. at barer'',
late currencies. White Peas supported previous quotations, but al
other kinds hung heavily on hand. Although the supply of Flout_.,
was by no means large, the demand was in a very inactive state. IP'

The numbers of Sheep being again on the increase, and of unastaL:

Mutton trade was dull, and the quotations suffered a decline of frs,' ,

were mostly disposed of at prices within Id per Sibs of our geacris

stationary prices. Lambs were in moderate supply, and heavy 'e
