SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TAT rERSALLS-YESTERDAY.

The change in the Chester Cup quotations are few in num-
ber, affecting only Clumsy, Hope, and the Magnet, and that
in a slight degree Clumsy fluctuated between 22 and 25 to I,
closing at the smaller odds, and the Magnet from 50 to 1 to
40 to 1, leaving off in request with two or three parties.
The other horses mentioned were backed at the previous
quotations, and only to moderate amounts. A few blows
were struck on the Derby, but to no other effect than to give
Brocardo a lift of a couple of points

DISTRESSING CASE.—We are requested to give in•
section to the following particulars, in the hope that the pub-
lication of them may be the means of unravelling the mystery
which at present hangs over the affair to which this relates :
".0n the 19th of December, 184.3, a deaf and dumb man was
found at or near Ostend, and has been detained ever since
under the care of the Abbe Carton, director of the Institute
for the Deaf and Dumb, at Bruges, by whom the following
particulars have been drawn up with a view to the disco-
very of this unfortunate person's country or place of resi-
dence. He appears.to be about 35 or 40 years of age; has
received no kind of instruction ; is marked with the small-
pox; has a mark cn the ball of the left eye; is of the
middle height; is thin, and of a sallow complexion. The
Abbe Carton, after the most patient investigation, has
come to the conclusion that this man is of either English
or Irish extraction, and adduces the following reasons
as the ground of his belieft—He has elicited from the
deaf and dumb man that the roads in his country are
macadamised ; that the public carriages are drawn
by four horses ; and that travellers usually prefer the outside
to the inside places. The Catholic is the religion professed in
his parish. The Abbe explains that there are two systems of
manual alphabet in use for the deaf and dumb. One of them,
which is employed in all countries but England, is formed
with one hand only ; while the other, which produces the
letters by means of both hands, is peculiar to England,
whence he concludes that the subject of this inquiry is either
English or Irish. There is but one church in his parish,
which belongs to the Catholic persuasion. All the houses are
low, and covered with reeds and clay. His father was a
weaver, and died three or four years ago; he is buried in a
church-yard in which is a tombstone with an inscription
traced by himself. His mother was still alive at the
time of his departure; he had an elder brother, shoe-
maker by trade, and two younger sisters, who were
both deaf and dumb. There was a gentleman's house
in his parish, which was inhabited by a lady of the
Roman Catholic religion, to whom he was well known.
There was likewise a mountain, it was near the sea,
and there was a railroad in the neighbourhood. He re-
lates that he left home without. the knowledge of his rela-
tions, that he embarked in a vessel laden with oak bark, and
was.at sea about a year. He is unable to give any satisfac-
tory account of his landing in Belgium, but the Abbe Carton
conjectures that he came across in some of the steamers, and
made his way to the Downs near Ostend, -where he was
found."

On the evening of Monday last, a fire broke out in
Lochend House, the seat of Sir George Warrender, Bart.
It at one time bore a most alarmingaspect; but, happily, by
the prompt measures used, it was speedily gut under, and
finally extinguished. The himse w.s full of company at the
time. The fire seems to have been occasioned by overheating
the flues in the scullery room, and thereby igniting the sur-
rounding lath §nd other combustible materials.—.Edinbuvis

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
(From The San of Last Nigh'.

The Liverpool Cotton market yesterday was steady.
Sales 5,000 bags. There was rather an improved feeling in
the Share market, and an increased business was done.
Advices received from Vienna state, that the Austrian
Government contemplated the abolition of their Customs
lines, separating Hurgary from the other provinces of the
empire.

'the only ship arrival to-day is from Valparaiso, and we
do not find that there is any news of general interest from
that quarter.
A good deal of curiosity is manifested to learn how the dis-
pute between Messrs. Lizardi, the late agents of the Mexi-
can Government, and the Bondholders, represented by their
Committee, will be likely to terminate. So far as justice is
concerned, there are few disinterested person.:‘ who doubt the
right of the bondholders to the amount withheld, but there
may be legal difficulties interposed as in other cases.
Hitherto the Committee have received, we believe, every
encouragement, as regards counsel's opinion, to
proceed with their sun, which was expected on
vesterday, and we hope at all events will come
before the Court this week. The bondholders- are naturally
impatient to have the matter settled one way or the other;
and, if in their favour, to receive the instalment so long due,
and which, with the amount already in the hands of Messrs.
Schneider, might make up a sum worth having.
The English Stock Market presents quite a blank appear-
ance, owing to the closing of the Transfer books for so many
securities. Consols are almost the only stock dealt in, and
these have been 05% 34 for present Transfer, and 957 to
for time, or scarcely so good as they were yesterday
The premium on Exchequer-bills keeps at 345. to 375. Bank
Stock has been at 211 for the Account.

The Foreign Bonds are equally dull. Spanish Five per
Cents. realise 25% %, and the Three per Cents. 35',V., a.
both being equally flat. Mexican Stock has been marked
304, for the Actives, and 1616 for the Deferred. Dutch
Four per Cents. have been 94%.
Shares have been quiet at about previous rates.
