MA ttK.ET NEW S.—(This Lay.)

CORN EXC FLANGE.
Only moderate supplies of wheat were on sale in most of
the country markets held on Saturday. The demand, ho w-
,wer, ruled dull, and prices had a downward tendency.
4ost kinds of spring corn met a slow inquiry, at barely

previous rates.
The Continental markets continue dull for most kinds of
produce. The shipments from America are large.
Very limited supplies of English grain came to hand for
our market last week. The imports from abroad were
13,703 qrs of wheat, 2,795 barley, 5,780 oats, 2,305 beans,
405 peas, 19 tares, 1,230 linseed, 2,760 rapeseed, 602
sundiy seeds, and 9,732 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day a very moderate supply of wheat came
to hand, coastwise and by land carriage, from Essex,
Kent, &e. The general condition of the samples, though
rather better than on Monday last, was by no means first
rate. There was no inclination on the part of the millers
to get into stock, consequently the trade for all kinds of
wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state, and, is
ome instances, prices were in favour of buyers. Several
of last week's unsold samples were brought forward, and
the market closed nominally 2s to 3s per quarter beneath
last Monday's prices—leaving a large quantity unsal.
There was a good show of foreign wheat. All descrip-
tions met a very dull enquiry for home consumption, yet
no quotable change took place in prices. For export to
Spain several parcels sold at full currencies.
Floating cargoes of grain were firm, and quite as dear es
last week.
The supply of both English and foreign barley was very
moderate, and the trade ruled firm, at full quotations.
Malt was in fair request, on former terms.
We had a much smaller supply of oats in the market
than for some time past. The trade was by no means
brisk, yet prices were supported.
Beans were in moderate demand, at last week's cut-
reney.
We had a very dull sale for peas, at ls. to 2s. per quar-
ter less money.
The flour trade was dull, and country marks were rather
cheaper, viz., by 2s. per sack

Sporting Intelligence.

GREAT STEEPLE CHASE.
Much curiosity, and interest were excited in sporting
circles generally, and among the visitors of Melton Mow
bray in particular, by the announcement of a great
steeplechase match. The "event" originated at the
dinner t ible at the commencement bf the bunting season,
and it was appointed to take place on Saturday, the 29th
of November. The frost intervened, and, of course,
rendered the running of the match impracticable. The
race was therefore postponed until Saturday last, when
it was decided over a line of country parallel with the
Oakham read, near Melton Mowbray, the route being,
with a few immaterial exceptions, the same as that
selected by Messrs. Leslie and Crawfurd for their match
about 10 years ago. The ground was very rotten and
holding, and was calculated to try both the speed and
stoutness of the competitors.
Mr. Gordon rode the Clown, and Mr. James Mason
Abd-el-Bader. Mr. Mason was formerly a professional
,teeplechase jockey of considerable reputation, but he
retired some years ago, and made his re-appearance on
this occasion, at the solicitation of Lord Strathmore.
The event was aointed to take place at half-past 10,
pp
but it was past 11 before the horses were started.
The following are the terms of the match and the result
of the race :

and after going About a mile he fell beadroremust
into a tildgb and unseated bis jockey. The Clown,
tfiel-ernre, went on with the lead, and galloped in alone.
Abd-el-Kader'e performance excited much surprise.
Both his owner and his rider seemed quite astounded,
as the horse had been most highly tried. It should be
stated that A.bd-el-Kwlei• walked lame when brought
out of his stable in the morning, and it was found that
a "tight plate" was the cause of his limping. This de-
fect was soon remedied, and the horse went to the post
seemingly "as sound as a bell." Abd-el-Rader is not
the Abd-el-Kader of Liverpool celebrity, whose suc-
cesses for the "Grand National" are still 'fresh in the
memory of sp-irting men.
Sir George Wombwell was umpire for Lord Strath-
more, and Lord Grey de Wilton officiated for Mr. Craven.

Mr. Reed's share in the Entertainment, that he
has the arduous task of remaining upon the stage
uninterruptedly from the time of his first appear-
ance. Taking his part in the Dialogue, indulging
occasionally in Soliloquy, lending an air of veri-
similitude to the incidents by his by-play, and
accompanying on the piano, with an ever ready
finger and a sparkling touch, the various Songs
introduced by his lively partner in the course of
the Entertainment. For, of course, Mrs. German
Reed sings—and equally, of course, when she
sings, she sings delightfully. There are no less
than five new ditties in all, worthy of note—the
"Echo Song," the " Violet Song," the " Travel-
ler's Lay," "Love makes a Home," and a
droll Irish Ballad about " Judy of Killarney."
Remembering which, and remembering also the
laughter provoked on Saturday evening by the
performance, then first exhibited to a select few
—we cannot hesitate to predict a decided success
to Mr. and Mrs. German Reed's novel and most
amusing Entertainment.

SURREY THEATRE.

A young lady, stated in the bills to be "of great pro.
vincial celebrity," appeared as Juliet in Sbakspere's
play on Saturday night at this theatre. The debutante is
tall and well formed, and in many personal respects is
well qualified for the stage. That she had considerable
experience is betrayed in the ease with which she moves,
and the knowledge which she seems to have acquired
of the traditions of the art. The impression Miss
Leslie made upon the house was unquestionably
favourable. The excellence of her efforts in the
tomb scene, the quiet misery of which was eminently
judicious, and the general appropriateness of her elocu-
tion, were not unobserved. Miss Leslie, in a word,
proved herself more than once to be an actress of inter
ligence and discernment ; and in parts where the loftier
aspects of the drama are concerned she is likely to take
position. She was louJly complimentsl at the close of
the play, and received an encouraging ovation before the
curtain.

In speaking highly of this lady, it will be sufficient
explanation that she is a niece of the late Mrs. Warner,
and entitled to a warm welcome even under circum-
stances less favourable. We may also mention that a
short provincial engagement has to be concluded, and
that Miss Leslie will, wa trust, become a permanent
addition to the London boards.

Mr. Creswick sustained the part of Romeo with more
than his usual ability. Throughout the whole of the
tragedy there was an absence of point•making, which
cannot be too highly commended ; and, taken as a
whole, the delineation of the character may justly be
termed the effort of a scholar and a gentleman. Mr.
Shepherd was the diercutio, Mr. Riad Potter the Friar
Laurence, and Mrs. Moreton Brookes the Nurse—all
of whorls were respectable.

elapsed since the last occurred. Tue sufferer upon that
occasion was a man named Bousfield, who murdered his
wife and three children ; and it will be remembered that
after he hid been turned off be made several attempts to
get upon the scaffold, and succeeded in placing his fe .t
three or four times upon the edge of the drop. The on.
currence cawed a good deal of excitement at the time,
as it was thought there was some neglect on the part of
the executioner in tho performance of his duty ; and in
consequence of what then occurred a new mode has been
adoptedof pinioning criminals which effectually precludes
any chance of such an event occurring.

CRIMINAL COURT—(l'his Day.)

OLD COURT.

The December sessions of the Central Criminal Court
commenced this morning, before the Lord Mayor, Alder•
men Carden, Lawrence, Kennedy, and Carter.
The Common Sergeant in charging the Grand Jury, said
that although only a fortnight had elapsed since they last
met the calendar contained the names of nearly 100 per-
a ms. There were no cases calling for particular remark
from him, or that would cause them the slightest difficulty.
There was one case of loss of life which had occurred
during a drunken quarrel ; another, that of Charlotte
Roden both, who was charged with feloniously administer-
ing a quantity of turpentine to her infant child, with in-
tent to murder it. The evidence they would have submit•
ted to them would enable them to say wnether there were
sufficient circumstances to call upon those parties to answer
the charges made against them. Two persons, named
Williams and Xtacarthy, were also indicted for
placing same bricks upon a railway, with the intention
of upsetting a train. By a recent act of Parliament rush
an offence was made a felony, and it was highly important,
if the charge was clearly established, that severe punish-
ment should follow, in order to deter other evil-disposed
persons from a similar offence. With those few observe.
tions he would remit them to their duties, and if in the
performance of them any difficulty should arise the Court
would be most happy to render its assistance.
The Grand Jury then retired to their room, and in a
short time, having retained several true bills for minor
offences, the trial of prisoners commenced, none of which
possessed the slightest interest.
London, England, 1856-12-15

THE INCOME TAX.

The movement against the war ninepence is
spreading in Ireland, and probably will become
general before the meeting of Parliament. Dublin,
as a matter of right, leads the way, and the metro-
politan county meets on Tuesday next, in pursu-
ance of a requisition addressed to the High Sheriff.
The Mercantile Advertiser says :

I` It gives us much gratification to observe that a move-
ment has been set on foot in the county of Dublin, having
for its object to limit the amount of the income tax to 7d.
in the pound from April next. This tax has pressed with
much severity upon the general industry of the country, as
well as upon the slender means of hard-working persons in
every employment; and it is to be hoped that an impost
which the Legislature plainly never intended to extend
beyond the period aborenamed—tbe period of actual neces-
sity—shall not be suffered to continue any longer, as a drag
upon the industry 'lnd enterprise of a people who were
only too ready to -assist the Government, in their need,
with brave men as well as with plenty of money to support
them. We trust the Dublin movement will be readily
followed throughout the country. We observe that in Eng-
land movements against the whole tax are being vigorously
organised. Energy and prudence are sure to succeed, at
least to the extent of effecting a reduction of an impost
which must necessarily be generally odious after a necessity
for it has ceased."

NEUCHATEL.

BERLI DEC 11.
The Neuchatel affair progresses very slowly; and,
" like a wounded snake, drags itsslow length along."
Herr von Sydow, the representative of Prussia,
has received orders to withdraw to Signaringen,
where he occupies a post in connection with the ad-
ministration of the Principality of llohenzollern.
This withdrawal of the Prussian Representative is,
however, not a diplomatic recall, but serves only to
show to Switzerland that as long as the prisoners are
not released Prussia cannot treat ; the personnel of
the Prussian mission at Berne are still there. About
a week back the Representatives of France and
Russia, in conformity with the example of those of
Austria, Bavaria, and Baden, made fresh represeil_
tations to the Federal Government of the danger
and impolicy of the course it had adopted, and
renewed their remonstrances for the liberation of
the prisoners. The Federal Council refused again
to listen to these well-meant representations of the
foreign Governments, and in so doing was backed
and encouraged by our diplomatic representative
there.

The next step that this Government will take is
to present a report to the German Buud, showing
what little effect its cumulative representations have
had in Berne, and this report, backed with similar
and corroborative reports from the Governments of
Austria, Bavaria, and Baden, will then probably
be referred to a committee to consider what further
steps the Bund may find it expedient to take in
the matter.

The Nord contains the following :—" Russia
being thus far the only power which has a resident
minister at Pekin,
.France, England, and the
United States also wish to have representatives
there. With that view, the French, English, and
American governments have combined an expedi-
tion. A flotilla, composed of some of the flat-
bottomed French vessels from the Black Sea, is
about to join the French squadron in the China
Seas, and to penetrate into the interior of China.
Ministers will be established by fair means or by
foul
Emperor of China has such
need protectioneinThe against the insurgents who for
atof Pk
some years past have been threatening his throne,
so that he will perhaps be glad to place himself
under the protection of the maritime powers of
Europe and America. This will be a new step

towards the opening of China to modern civilisa-
tion."

The Phare de la ivanche of Cherbourg state
that the Russian squadron will shortly leave that
port for the Mediterranean, and after stopping some
rime at Genoa, will disperse for the service of the
Russian legations at Naples, Athens, Constanti-
nople, and Alexandria. It is said that the Grand
Duke Constantine, who is to join his mother at
Nice, will visit the coast of Italy in the screw line
of battle ship, the Viborg. The French officers
who gave the ball to the Russian ►flicers having a
sum of 600 fr. left after all expenses had been paid
divided it among the different charitable institutions
of the town. During the last few days a heavy
gale from the S.S.E. had been blowing, and from
70 to bO vessels bound to the westward had put
in at Cherbourg from stress of weather.

ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER AT BLACKFIUARS
BRIDGE-THREE LIVES LUST.

Last evening, at a quarter past 6 o'clock, a melancholy
accidtnt, causing the loss of the lives of three persons,
with considerable peril to four others, who were saved,
occurred at Blackfriars-bridge. A boat was coming down
the river, on the south side, with 7 persons in it—three
young men and four females—and making for the stairs
on the west side of the bridge. The tide was running
down strongly, and they were unable to turn the boat in
towards the stairs, but were carried beyond by the force
of the current, and then the boat struck with great
force against the pier of the bridge. A panic here
seized ail the party—the female- shrieked for help, and
all rushed towards the end of the boat nearest the
stairs, with the desire of effecting their escape.
The consequence of this was to overload the boat
at that end, which caused it to overturn, and the whole
party were thrown into the water. The piercing
cries instantly raised for help attracted the atten-
tion of Win. l'Anson, City police constable No. 375, who
was at the foot of the bridge at the time, and he saw the
boat bottom uppermost, with several persons clinging to
it, and screaming for assistance. He ran to the opposite
side of the road, where he met with his sergeant, John
Freeman, told him of it, and tnen at once proceeded to
the pier to obtain he boat and drags of the Royal Hu-
mane Society. In the meantime several boats put off from
the stairs, and rescued the three young men and a young
woman, but the boat then went down, carrying with it
the other three young women, who never rose again
The society's beat-, with their drags, bad now come et• ,
and commenced dragging for them, nut up to the time this
was written without effect. The three young men were
taken to a public-house, and, by administering some sti-
mulants, were soon in a fit state to be conveyed home in
a cab to Holborn. The young woman saved, who was
almost in a dro a fling state, was taken to the receiving house
—the Jacob's-well, in upper Ground-street ; dry clothes
were given to her, and she was put to bed. At 8 o'clock,
about midway between Blackfriars and S ruthwark-
bridge,, the men succeeded with the drags in laying hold
of the boat ; some sculls belonging to it were also picked
up. The boat had been h!reo at Blacktriars-bridge trom
a persou named Lewis, the party expressing their inten-
tion to go to Battersea, and it ought to have returned at
an earlier hour.

FRANCE.

The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow-
ing :
"On Saturday, at one o'clock, the Emperor re-
.viewed in the Court of the Tuileries, and on the
Place du Carrousel, nine regiments of the line and
three battalions of Chasseurs h pied, who went
through the Crimean campaign. The regiments
were the 7th, 10th, 11th, 35th, 46th, 47th, 79th,
95th, and 96th, and the Ist, 4th, and 7th battalions
of Chasseurs.

" All these troops were commanded by Marshal
Magnan, having under his orders Generals of
.Division Bourgon and de Ladmirault.

"His Majesty was accompanied by his Royal
Mighness Prince Frederick William of Prussia, by
Marshals Vaillant, Baraguay Canrobert,
and Bosquet, by Generals Niel and Fleury, and
by the Prussian officers of the Prince's suite.

" g•aetachment of the Cent Gardes and a de-
tachment of the Guides brought up the rear of the
Imperial cortege.

‘1 The Empress, surrounded by the officers and
ladies of her libusehold, witnessed the review from
the balcony of the Salle des Marechaux.
"After having passed along the front of each
line the Emperor, followed by his cortege, Flaced
himself with his Royal Highness in front of the
Pavilion l'Horloge.
" H IVlajesty then ordered the flags of the dif-
ferenflegiments and battalions to be collected to-
gether, and in presence of those glorious colours,
torn to shreds by grapeshot, ho with his own hands
distributed medals to the men. .

" The troops then filed off in columns by divi-
sions with remarkable precision and ensemble amid
lunanimous shouts of Viva l'Empereur Vivo
l'lmperatrice !'
"During the review the Prince Imperial, who
was leaviiig the Tuileries, tossed thcough the lines
of the soldiers, who loudly cheered him."

RUSSIA AND PERSIA.
The Nord of Brussels contains a leading article on
the recent statement that a Russian army, 50,000
tstrong, was prepared to march on the Persian fron-
tiers. The Nord, whilst expressing its doubt of
this intelligence, alludes to an article in the treaty
,of qulistan, wherein Russia engaged herself to de-
fend Persia in any case of urgent necessity, and it
thus states the intentions of the Russian govern-
ment : "Doubtless the Shah of Persia might,tt Russiaexercise

produce. The shipments from America are large.

The Rugeley poisoning case was, as usual of late, the
ruling topic of conversation, and some interest was ex-
e!ted in the course of the afternoon by the presence of
Captain Hatton, chief of the Stafford constabulary, who
was accompanied by Mr. W. V. Stephens, executor to
the late Mr. Cook. Their object was to make inquiries
relative to the money received of, or paid te, Mr. Cook.
Notes, with the undermentioned names endorsed on
them, were in the possession of Mr. Cook, and the par-
ties are requested to come forward and give infirrnation
respecting them :—Two 51. notes endorsed respectively
" " and Faulkner ;" one 51. note, endorsed
" A.nsell " and Seager ;" ore 5/. note, with the names
of " Bricknoll " and Neville " written on it ; and one
1001. nuts, endorsed " W. 0. C." and " Reeves."
The persons whose names are mentioned are requested
to communicate with Captain Hatton, explaining from
whom they received, or to whom they paid the notes.
The following notices were posted in the room :
" Any gentleman who saw William Palmer in Lon-
don on Saturday, the 24th of November. is earnestly
requested to communicate with J. H. Hatton, Esq.,
Chief of the County Constabulary, Stafford, or with Mr.
V. Stephens, No. 11, Cambden-grove, Kensington,
executor to the deceased."

" Any gentleman who paid the late Mr. Cook
money at Shrewsbury Races, or who had or
witnessed any 'money transactions with him at that tithe,
is earnestly requested to communicate with J. H. Hatton,
Esq., Chief of the County Constabulary, Stafford, or
with Mr. W. N. Stephens, &c., &c."
Captain Hatton will be in attendance at Tattersall's

may be made to him.
