Cat 121 b—taken
30 to 1 agst Mr. Bray's Prospect, 5 yrs, Gat 51b
Enchanter's position in the betting is the consequence
of some heavy investments at the sporting houses, very
little money having been laid out at the Corner; Walna-
gate-bar Without and Ballinafad were backed at 6 to 1
each, and had a slight call of Enchanter. Joe Lovell was
in great favour, springing, before the room closed, to 7
to 1. Thistle Down was only nominally in the market;
and Joc o'Sot was not named at a price.

Scarcely any change amongst the leading favourites,
and very little doing. Snuff box and Remembrancer are
quoted from transactions out of the room; both have
been backed heavily.

The odds quoted agst Patriot, Enchanter, and Malt,
were taken rather freely; nothing done on the favourites.

2,000 to 35 agst Sir J. B. Mill's Deerstalker—t and offd
The odds returned agst the two favourites were taken
to a considerable sum, and bets to the amount of 2,000/.
laid between them at evens; 12 to 1 would have been
taken about Glendower; 1,500 even laid between The
Sheriff' and Keratin. The general betting was very dull.
Mr. Gregory's race-horses were put up for sale yester-
day by Messrs. Tattersall, but only one sold, viz.,
Querida, 2 yrs, for 200 guineas. Some horses, sent over
from Paris, were also put up, and three or four sold at
fair prices.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—A REWARD OF
2,0001. FOR. THE DISCOVERY OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.
—Yesterday Lady Franklin issued a notice offering a
reward of 2,0001., with a view of inducing any whaling-
ship which resorts to Davis's Straits or Baffin's Bay to
make search for the expedition under the command of
Sir John Franklin, respecting whom the greatest
anxiety has for some time past been manifested, no
tidings having reached England with regard to the pro-
gress of the expedition or the safety of those who com-
pose it. Her Ladyship's notice stipulates that search
shall be made in those parts which are not in the scope
of the expedition sent out by Government, and that the
2,0901. is to be divided as follows :-1,0001. between the
owners, captain, officers and crew, of any ship which
shall depart from the usual fishing grounds for the pur-
pose of exploring Prince Regent's inlet, Admiralty inlet,
I Jones's sound, or Smith's Sound, providing such :ship,
finding the expedition under Sir John Franklin in dis-
tress, shall make :up-to and afford it relief ; and 1,0004 to
be divided amongst the officers, owners, and crew of any
ship which shall at au early period of the whaling season
make extra exertion for the above object; and ins the
event of discovering the expedition, should such asist-
ance be required, bring Sir John Franklin and his party
to England. Her Ladyship intimates, that in order
that there may be no misunderstanding about the re-
wards, the matter shall be referred to the following gen-
tlemen, whose decision shall be final, those gentlemen
having kindly consented to act as referees in the matter:
—Admiral Beaufont, Capt. Sir William Edward Parry,
R.N., and Mr. Ward.
The stoppage of the Grantham bank of Messrs.
Kewney and King was announced yesterday. It was a
bank of issue, established in 1812, and the fixed limit of
its circulation was 19,4011. Its outstanding notes, how-
ever, according to the last returns, amounted only to
17,382/. Messrs. Barclay and Co. were the London
agents, but they sustain no loss.
The Lord Bishop of Manchester has appointed Dr.
Haggard, of Doctors'-commons, to be Chancellor of that
diocese.

310 NE and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QIJARTEI? TO THREE.
The Cotton lthrket at Liverpool yesterday was very
firm. Sale?, 6,000 bales. In Railway Shares there was
no alteration, but a fair business was done.
It is stat, d that m‘;ney is still accumulating here in
the hands of the bankers, and that privately large sums
in spzcie, besides gold and silver plate, are being re-
ceived from the Continent. Whether this be the case
or not, it is certain that there has been a rumour during
the last two or three days, that the Bank of England
would reduce the minimum rate of discount. We
should hardly consider such a measure desirable at the
present moment, though the Bank proprietors, with
the accumulating and unemployed reserves, may be of
a different opinion.
The accounts from Belgium are more reassuring.
The Bank of Antwerp now discounts 90 days' bills, a
sign of renew& d confidence.
The following particulars show the favourable pro-
gress of trade in Canada:—

The total value of imports for the year 1847, was

from Great Britain, 7,220,686 dolls.; British North
America, 239,519 dolls. 6 cents.; British West Indies,
1,307 dolls. 27 cent:.; United States, 512,540 dolls.

The total value of exports in 1847, was 3,377,323 dolls.

United States, 109,324 dolls. 45 cents.
In connexion with the import and export trade of the
principal lake ports of Canada, the trade in the principal
port on this side of Lake Ontario is interesting. The
commerce of Oswego is much larger than the public
generally have any idea of, and the increase within the
last eight years has been unprecedented. There are
very few seaports in this country on the Atlantic coast
the commerce of which exceeds that of Oswego.
In a report upon the state of the dried fruit trade, by
Messrs. Witherby and Hanson, we are told that—
" The arrivals of Currants since our report of 28th
ult. have been 226 butts, 231 carroteels, 310 barrels,
and 143 cases, making the total import into London this
season down to 23d inst. about 7,900 tons, or 1,300 tons
less than to the same date in 1847. Two cargoes have
arrived at Liverpool, where the falling off in the impor-
tation this season has also been considerable.
"The clearance for home consumption from 21st ult.
to 20th inst. have been 420 tons against 635 tons in the
like period of 1847 and 390 tons in 1846. Those, how-
ever, from Ist January to 20th inst. have reached 1,750
tons against 1,335 tons and 950 tons during the like
period of 1847 and 1846. The deliveries of late at
Liverpool have been on a par with those of this period
of last 3 ear.
" In Raisins there is no new feature.
"The momentous events which have occurred since the
24th ultitno, in France and Germany, have entirely
absorbed the public attention and paralyzed the trade of
the country. A succession of unusually unfavourable
weather has contributed not a little to the general dul-
ness. Currants, in common with other articles, have
been entirely neglected. There is, however, no alterlition
to notice in prices, and it is doubtful whether the whole-
sale houses would have been induced to purchase freely,
even had importers shown a disposition to realise at a
reduction
The public securities have been very quiet, and rather
depressed. Consols opened at 824 to 83, rallied since
to 83* 1, and are now about 83. Exchequer-bills have
risen to 30s. and 345. premium.
The Foreign Bonds have been very dull. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been 12 to *, and the Passive ai.
Mexican Stock has been 151 to *. Equador Bonds have
been 21. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been
at 40, and the Four per Cents. 60. The Portuguese
Commission for claims of the late British Legion has
received no funds for the dividend.
The Railway Share market has been quiet, and not
buoyant. Boulogne and Amiens Shares have advanced.
