MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
There was a quiet but steady market for Cotton at Liver-
pool on Saturday, sales about 4,000 bales. A moderate
business was done in Shares. The market generally was firm.
We understand that the friends of free-trade are about to
celebrate the passing of the corn and tariff measures by a
public dinner in Covent-garden Theatre. This afternowt a
preliminary meeting mill be held in the theatre to make
arrangements. It is expected from the number of indivi-
duals, who have expressed a desire to aid the cause, that a
most numerous attendance will be given, and that the affair
will go off with the greatest éclat.
There are accounts this morning from the West Indies,
brought by the Trinity Yacht in the very short period of
twenty-four days. This vessel has come over in a shorter
period than any of the mail-packet steamers have yet accom-
plished the voyage. The complaints of the planters were
still very general, and deep anxiety was manifested as to the
resolves of Parliament with respect to the sugar duties.
The principal part of the cargo of the Trinity Yacht consists
of 20,000 pine apples, said to be in first-rate condition.
Irrom the Cape of Good Hope advices have been received
to-day, to the 16th May. The skirmishes between the troops
and the Kaffirs still continued, and generally terminated in
favour of the latter, but this did not prevent constant depreda
tions, burning of homesteads, robbery of cattle, &c., owing to the
great extent of the frontier, and the fact that the military
arrangements for its defence were not in a complete state,
although very effective considering the force and stores at
the disposal of the Governor. There is an undoubted neces-
sity fur early and ample reinforcements from England.
The Funds have been inactive this morning, and the at-
tendance of the dealers and others is but limited, owing to
the beautiful weather. Consols have been marked 953/8 to
to 96, being about the same for both tloney and Time. Ex-
chequer-bills have just been quoted 15s. premium. The New
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 97% %, and the
Three per Cents. 981/x. Bank Stock has been firm at
208 to 209.
The transactions in the Foreign market have been of mo-
derate extent, and there is not much fluctuation to notice.
Spanish Five per Cents. bring 243/4 ; and the Three per
Cents. 364. Mexican Deferred Stock is dull, at 161/s ;
Equador at 346 ; and Chilian Deferred at 50. Brazil Old
Bonds have been at 86. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents.
have been marked 593/4 to 60; and Russian are 112.
Railway Shares have been dull, and are rather flat again,
as the Bears are endeavouring to influence the market for the
settling day.

THE MARYLEBONE CLUB, WITH BILLYEE AND LILLYWHITE,

V. I.I24DERGB,ADUATIS OF OXFORD.
This match—the return match—was played at Lord's on
Thursday and Friday, when, to the astonishment of many,
because Hi;lyer and Lillywhite were the bowlers against
them, the University made an easy conquest of the Maryle-
bone Club.

ASYLUM FOR TUE DEAF AND Dumn.—Yesterday the
half-yearly meeting of this charity was held at the London
Tavern, when thirty children were elected, making the num-
ber at present in the institution nearly 200 children. The
subscriptions and donations collected during the day amounted
to about 250/.
On Sunday afternoon, about five o'clock, p.m., just as
the Waverley Kew-bridge steamer had left the Cadogan-
pier, Chelsea, on her upward trip, an elderly gentleman was
thrown by the violent heeling of the vessel, occasioned by
the immense number of people on board, from the fore-part,
where he was standing, sonic distance into the water. Mr.
George Clifford, of the Temple, who was on board at the
time, and while the vessel was still going on, boldly leaped
in after him, and though a very indifferent swimmer, suc
ceeded in getting hold of him and keeping him above water
till the tide, which was very high at the time, fortunately
drifted them across the hawser by which the floating barge
attached to the pier is held. To this he clung tightly,
grasping his prize till both were fortunately taken from their
perilous situation by a boat that had put off from the shore
to their assistance, when they were landed in safety.
THE LATE MURDER AT LANIVET, NEAR BODMIN.—
On Sunday last, two men were brought to Bodmin, having
surrendered themselves at Devonport on suspicion of being
concerned in the above murder. There is a woman now in
Bodmin gaol, under sentence of transportation, for a robbery
committed some time since at Liskeard, and who asserts
that she was present when the woman called Somerset Ann
was murdered. In consequence of her allegations a warrant
was issued out against two men whom she described, and it
was supposed that these were the same. On being confronted,
however, with the prisoners, it appeared that she could not
identify them, and they were consequently discharged. The
whole occurrence still remains in as much mystery as ever.

he had written to General Grosvenor five years ago, and
wtieh, with other papers, were usually kept in the
corded box. _

The prisoner said he cculd have no motive for burn-
ing the General's papers. He found the jewellery
wrapped up in paper, and the paper found in the dress-
ing-room was no doubt the covering of the jewellery,
which he had removed.
As some of the property has not yet been found, the
prisoner was remanded for a week.
George Webb, the lad who charged t's grocer named
Stott with attempting to take indecent liberties with
him in the Park, but whose story was discredited by
Mr. Maltby, and who was in the end put to the bar
charged with attempting to extort money from Stott, was
brought up for further examination.
The police stated that the prisoner had been in prison
before, and that there was g9(11 reason for believing
that he and his companions had carried on a system of
infamous extortion in the Park for a length of time.
Mr. MALTISY directed the prisoner to be remanded till
Wednesday next, in order to afford time to get evidence
of the charge on which the prisoner had previously been
convicted.

A FEW WORDS ON THE SVG

DUTIES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—lf the question were asked which country in
Europe could and ought to have colonial produce, such
as sugar, &c., cheapest, can there be a doubt but that
England would be pointed out as that country? But,
strange to say, other nations such as the Germans, &c.,
possessing no colonies, no mercantile navy worth men-
tioning, nor yet the; capital of Great Britain, do for all
that buy their sugars cheaper than we do. Pray is this
according to "common sense?"
Apropos as to colonies threatening to fall off from the
mother, country, where will they get such customers as
they now have for their sugar and timber ? The colo-
nies take manufactured goods of us.! True; but we first
give them the money to buy them with—and we have
taxed ourselves with protective duties for their advan-
tage. No, no ! this matter will not bear examination
on the score of profit and loss.—l am, Sir, &c.,

EASTERN COUNTIES ENLARGEMENT

AND EXTENSION.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)!
After hearing some evidence in support of the Bill, Mr.
FORSYTH addressed the Committee on the part of Mr. Cook-
son, petitioner against the Bill, who contended that the in-
terference with his property, at the new road going down to
Whitechapel, was uncalled for, inasmuch as Brick-lane and
Charles-street afforded sufficient access to the stations of the
South-Eastern Railway.
Mr. Taylor, architect and surveyor, was called, and stated
that the injury which the petitioner complained of would
be inflicted.

After a long conference and discussion between the counsel
for the parties, the Committee decided that the preamble of
the Bill was proved, and that they would report accordin&y.
The Committee then adjourned.

ther it was the intention of the Government to do any-
thing with it &trine: the present sassion ?

GRAND HEAT.

Yellow
Red
The distance in this, as in t e preceding beats, was from
Mason-stairs, down round a boat moored off the Phoenix
coal wharf, up round Messrs. Hall's road, down again to the
boat at the Pbcenix, up again to the Barge-road, and down
to Thames-street Stairs to finish.
They went off very levelly, and continued scull and scull
for two or three minutes, when Red (the sexagenarian) began
to show in front, and as they approached Southwark-bridge,
had nearly drawn his length clear. The rounding of the
lower boat altered the position, and on coming up against
the tide Blue passed through Southwark arch his length
clear, and Yellow two lengths astern as third. Off the
Waterman's Arms the first pair fouled, and this gave Yellow
an opportunity of going ahead, which he never forfeited, win-
ning easily.

EAST GREENWICH REGATTA.

In consequence of the great patronage extended towards
the watermen at Greenwich, two regattas have of late years
taken place. The funds have been found sufficient to get up
two distinct regattas, the first of which came off yesterday,
under the patronage of Admiral the Hon. Sir Robert Stop-
ford, and the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood. The
exceeding fineness of the weather, and the perspective of
good sport, induced a very numerous and'respectable assem-
blage, who were evidently much gratified with the rowing.
which was first-rate. The race was with s:x ,cullers, in
four heats, the distance extending from the Dreadnought
to the end of East Greenwich, the distance being repeated.

CANADA•

We have received accounts, as already intimated, to
the latest dates. The following are the chief items
worthy of notice. The Ministry was broken up. Sir
Allan M'Nab is said to be Adjutant-General.
We find the following paragraph, headed " Canada,"
in one of the New York papers of June 20 :
44
CANAba.--ANNExAnoN.--The British Cabinet of
late have been uneasy in relation to the commercial
affairs of the Canadas. Merchants are beginning to
emigrate to the States ; produce finds its way to our
.exports, and the severity of the winter, together with
the many months which the St. Lawrence is closed by
ice, render it more profitable and expeditious to export
from the States. The question, under these circum-
stances, is frequently asked in England, why go to
,uch heavy
Yankees, when, in fact, our own subjects render such
expense to defend Canada against the
defence unnnecessary.' Annexation is becoming more
popular."

A very destructive fire had taken place in St. John's,
New Brunswick, and destroyed property to the amount
of 10,0001. No byes, we believe, were log.

LAMBETH.

LIBERATION FROM PRISON.—Mrs. Susan Lawrence,
the wife of a compositor, who about three weeks ago
made a serious charge at this Court against two trades-
men, of having carried her by force from the residence of
her husband, in the York-road, to a house in Orchard-
street, Westminster, and the❑ drugged her and violated
her person, was brought before Mr. Elliott on a charge of
having assaulted her husband.
The complainant, who is of low stature, said that on
Monday week his wife, who had been sent to Horse-
monger-lane gaol for ten days, for having assaulted one
of the parties whom she had accused with abduction,
was discharged, and he made every preparation to re-
ceive her, and had everything necessary for her comfort.
He also sent her sister and a respectable female, who
acted with great kindness to her, to meet her when she
left the prison, and accompany her home. On reaching
the prison the parties were informed that his wife had
been discharged about an hour before, and they, as well
as himself, had naturally concluded she would make her
way home as soon as she could. In this opinion, how-
ever, they were disappointed, as neither on that nor on
the following day did she make her appearance, and he,
in consequence, went in search of her. He traced her
through some of the filthiest dens in London, where she
had been with some of her drunken companions, and
ultimately found her in a back street with a wretched-
looking female, and both drunk. As soon as his wife
saw him she raised a loud cry, called him all the horrible
names she could think of, and made such representations
to the crowd that he was followed through the street by
a parcel of boys, and it was with some difficulty he
escaped serious injury.
The wife, who was with some difficulty restrained, and
who frequently interrupted her husband while giving his
evidence, declared that her husband kept another wo-
man, and wished to get rid of her.
This the husband denied, and witnesses having been
called to speak to the drunken and violent conduct of the
defendant, she was held to bail for three months.

EXPORTS.

Market rather dull, contributed both by unfavourable
accounts by the last mail, and by a slight change in the
position of the money market.
Indigo—The exports since our issue of the 7th inst.
are of 8 chests or 22 fy. rods. to England, which make
the shipments of the season to 7th instant inclusive as

Accounts .from the planters continue very unfavourable,
and estimates are considerably lower than those reported
in our last issue ' • Tirhoot is next to a complete failure,
and throughout the lower provinces, produce is consider-
ably below the results of last year ; according to all ac-
counts the crop of the season will not exceed fy. mds.
90.000, but may fall below it.

FroM a statement showing the altitude of the river at
Mirzapore from Ist to sth August of 10 years ; it will be
seen that the present is higher than any precedent.
Raw Silk is in better demand, and at slightly im-
fprovedprices ; the accounts by the last mail being more
avourable.

SILK PIECE GOODS.—Accounts from home by the la,t
mail are very discouraging and have checked the course
of transactions ; no purchase of Corahs has occurred.
SALTPETRE. Demand less active; the market, how-
ever, is almost bare of Godna and other better sorts.

SUGAR.—In steady demand; last accounts from borne
are likely to advance prices; supplies are taken up as
imported.

TRELEIGH CONSOLIDATED
MINING COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.)
The annual general meeting of the shareholders in
this company was held tozday at the Company's Office!,
57, Old Broad-street, Citj, when the report of the
directors, representing the prospects of the company as
most encouraging, was agreed to unanimously. No
dividend was announced, although there was a balance
on the credit side of the account of 15,0001., but the
Chairman said that as soon as the balance should amount
to 20,000/. a dividend would be declared.

FRANCE V. ENGLAND.--The comfort of travelling
on French railways is much before the. English. We
find the second-class carriages well lined and padded,
with cushioned seats, glass windows, and latnpst.or the
tunnels, quite equal to many of the English first-class.

NOVEL AND INTERESTING CRESS MATCH.---After a
struggle of nearly six weeks' duration this encounter
has terminated in favour of the English player, who has
gained the whole of the games in which he gave no odds,
and the majority of those wherein he gave the very large
ones of a pawn and two moves.

IMPORTANT FROM INDIA

(From the Herald.)
We have just received the Calcutta Star of the
16th of August, bringing eight days' later date than
that last received, and the Delhi Gazette of July 29.
The principal political intelligence is from Lahore,
which will be found subjoined. The commercial
news from Calcutta is gloomy ; for the particulars of
which we must refer to the extracts annexed :
(From the Delhi Gazette of July 29.)
News reached us last night, giving an account of the
complete failure of the force sent from Lahore under
Misr Bhagwan Singh, who had intended making a
night attack, and carrying all before him. Dewan
Moolraj, however, was " wide awake," and having re-
ceived secret information of the plan concerted, he com-
pletely outmanoeuvred his opponents by turning their
flanks, and having got into their rear, he " opened the
ball" at midnight with great activity ; 300 men of the
Durbar are said to be killed or taken prisoners, and four
of their guns have also been captured. Fresh troops
were urgently applied for, and left Lahore today for
the scene of action.

(From the Delhi Gazette of August 5.)
We have, since the above was written, heard that an
army is to be assembled. It will probably consist of all
the regiments brought up from below to relieve those
now on or beyond the frontier, and therefore be a very
formidable assemblage. The orders may, we are told,
be expected very soon.
We await further intelligence with anxiety. The
Gazette already announces the formation of two Anglo-
Seikh infantry corps to be raised on the left bank of the
Sutlej, to be called respectively, the regiments of Feroze-
pore and Loodianah.

THE ART UNION.

In addition to the usual contents of the Art Union,
we have in the present number a beautiful engraving,
by Laugier, of Luca Giordano's famous picture of
Charity, which was one of the gems of the Aguado
Gallery.

THE KNIGHT OF GWYNNE. No. X. By

Charles Lever.

A faint glimmering of hope appears in the gloom
of Maurice Darcy's prospects • and, from a mysterious
intimation made to Bagenal Daly, by the robber
Freney, during the confinement of the latter in New-
gate, there is some probability of the old Knight's
property being restored to him, and his various rights
recognised by the miserable parvenu O'Reilly. One
of Lever's happiest descriptions of the society en-
countered in a sea-coast watering-place in Ireland is
contained in this number. Paul Dempsey is one of
those execrable nuisances so capable of being an
acquisition to a farce, and a terrible bore in reality.
Phiz has delineated the bathing-scene at Ballintray,
with a caravan labelled " Fumbally—a Panther with
only two spots from the head to the tail," "little frescoes
of naked children," the "fat lady with the black
bathing cap," and " pretty Miss Boyle of Carrick-
maclash, with one stocking on," in a spirit of drollery
true to the text of Harry Lorrequer. From the fol-
lowing, or some later number, we may anticipate a
narrative of our old favourite Daly conniving at the
escape of Freney, and we hope a description of the
triumphal return of Maurice and his family to
Gwynne Abbey. The liveliness which is the chief
characteristic of Mr. Lever's writings, and which
constitutes not their smallest attraction, is preserved
throughout this fiction with singular felicity. We
have already particularised the present as promising
to be the very best of the fictions produced by this
accomplished author; that opinion is only confirmed
with every successive chapter.

METROPOLITAN EARLY CLOSING ASSOCIATION.
A meeting of assistants and others interested in the early
closing movement was held last night at Radley's Hotel,
Bridge-street, for the purpose of electing a committee of
the various trades in the City district, to conduct the
business of the association in its extended form. The
chair was taken at nine o'clock by Mr. Nash, who, after
explaining in detail the principles of the association,
concluded by exhorting those persons to agitate, and
never cease their exertions until they had abolished the
injurious system which had destroyed thousands of
valuable lives. After some other business of a formal
character the meeting separated.

giving 20,0871, 14s. Bd. Payments had been made up to
July last to the amount of 8,598/. 13s. 7d. by the direc-
tors,
leaving a balance of 11.4891. ls. Id. Claims were
made upon the balance to the amount of 7,7004 If that sum
were paid, and no further expenses incurred, there being
at present 7,780 scrip shares, there would be a dividend
on each share of about 10s. From 5,000 to 6,000 shares
allotted had not been taken up, and that principally by
the provisional committee ; that 1,180 shares by order
of the directors were purchased in for 3,3951. ss. on
behalf of the company, and out of the company's fund,
in October, 1845.. The balance of money in hand was
foundlo be in the name of the solicitor to the company,
at Messrs. Drummond's Bank; it had been refused to be
paid over.

- Mr. M'KEE, one of the directors, said, that purchase
of shares was made by the authority of two directors
alone; there never had been a board before that. The
broker came to the board and threatened to put a dis-
tringas on the funds of the company, unless the money
fur these shares was paid. It was under such circum-
stances that Mr. Spottiswoode was induced to put his
name to the cheque.
Mr. BURCHILL stated that the money being in his
name at the Messrs. Drummond's was altogether that
the shareholders might get the readier access to it. The
fund was in Chancery in Ireland, and by an order was
paid out to Messrs. Johnston, Barlow, and Spottiswoode.
He immediately invested it in Exchequer-bills to the
amount of 11,3001., and with the balance deposited them
where they were. He was ready under order of the
gentlemen named to pay out that money to any parties
whom they might please to name.
After a good deal of conversation,
Mr. MArrtiv moved that, though the shareholders
might be strictly entitled to more than 15s. a share, they
would yet be satisfied to accept the same in full of all.
Mr. COHEN seconded the resolution, which was car-
ried.

Mr. HAYNES moved that the money in hand be paid
over to Messrs. Johnstone, Morley, M'Kee, and Spot-
tiswoode, Mr. Morley always signing the cheques.
This was put and carried.
_

Mr. Marra: moved that Messrs. M'Quig, Cohen, and
Freeman form a committee to concert with the directors
for carrying out these resolutions.
Mr. R. JONES seconded this, and it was passed unani-
mously.
The meeting then adjourned.

THE RAILWAY REGISTER.
In the present number we have several articles,
setting forth improvements in the working of rail-
ways, such for instance as the Geometrical Railway,
by Mr. Greenhow ; the Resilient Atmospheric Rail-
way Tube, by Clarke and Varley ; the Short Close
Tube Traction, by Mr. Swinburne ; and Mr. Pil-
brow's, of the improvements which he has recently
introduced into his system of railway traction. In
addition to these contributions, Mr. Hyde Clarke, the
editor, furnishes a valuable paper on the Theory of
Investment in Railway Companies, and on the ability
of the resources of the nation, monetary and physical,
to meet the demands which must necessarily be made
upon them to carry out the railway system.

SIR,—Now that railways are established, would it not
be a great saving to life and property if Falmouth were
made a general port? Vessels might then go out imme-
diately to sea without fear of accident.—Yours, &c.

itself an ample amusement ; it is crowded with melo-
dies, simple, and unaccompanied with distracting noise.
In addition to this, the story of the two unfortunate
lovers, and the elegant poetry in which their love and
sorrow is recounted, combine to make a deep and last-
ing impression on the minds of the hearers. The music
was last night extremely well given, by the Misses
Turner, E. Turner and Lacy ; Messrs. Key, Renny,
Leffler, Lowick, and an efficient band and chorus, under
the direction of Mr. W. Blagrove and Mr. Holderness.
The serenata commenced with the overture, which was fol-
lowed by all the principal parts in it. The pieces " Hush,
ye pretty warbling choir," Miss Turner ; "0 ! ruddier
than the cherry," Mr. Leffler ; " Love sounds the
alarm," Mr. Kenny ; chorus, " Mourn all ye muses,"
" Must I, my Acis '." chorus, " Galatea, dry thy tears,"
&c., were sung with much ease and effect. Among the
principal portions of the miscellaneous music were, song,
Coming through the rye," Miss Lacy ; song, " There
is a flower that bloometh," Mr. Leffler ; glee, Here, in
cool grot," chorus, " The tiger couches," &c., which were
also well given. The theatre was well attended by a
very respectable audience, who testified their satisfaction
by frequent bursts of applause throughout.
A young English widow, named Wilson, was ar-
rested, on Saturday, for an attempt to take the life of
Thomas Ratten, who is employed in an organ factory in
Centre street. For two years he had been attentive to
her, but about Christmas last he suddenly became cool,
and was married to a young lady. Since that Mrs. W.
has become nearly frantic, and on Saturday, repairing to
his place of work, drew a pistol and pointed it at his
head, when he knocked her down and had her taken to
the Tombs. She has steadily refused all sustenance
since her arrest, and appears, as she doubtless is, dread-
fully excited.—New York Courier and Enquirer, Sept.l4.
