The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
quietly but firmly, and compared with Friday's
rates prices of all kinds were id. per lb. dearer,
except Surat, which improved id. per lb. The
sales were estimated at 8,000 to 9,000 bales, and
consisted of 1,000 for export, and 1,500 on specula-
tion (American) ; 70 Pernam and Maranham at
bid. to 7d. ; 20 Bahia, 61d. ; 1,000 Egyptian, 61d.
to 9id. ; 1,000 Surat, 4.0. to 5d., and 100 Sea
Islands, 114 d. to 16d. per lb. There was but little
change to note in the Railway Share Market, and
prices were about the same as on Wednesday.
The markets for foreign and colonial produce
during the week have been inanimate, and the
prices of some articles have tended downwards.
Sugar in the early part of the week receded fully
ls. per cwt., but yesterday, although no quotable
recovery took place, there was rather more firm-
ness. The stocks of this article at some of the chief
markets of Europe are now nearly equal to those
of the same period last year. Accounts from the
East Indies report that the crops were expected to
be large. During the month of February the
exports from Calcutta to Great Britain were large.
There has been a good demand for most descrip-
tions of coffee, and the quotations have been fully
supported. For tea there has been a very limited
inquiry, as purchasers deferred their operations
until the public sales, which commenced yesterday
with a flat appearance. For rice there has been rather
more inquiry, at previous values. Trinidad cocoa
has been sold at a decline of is. to 2s. The low
and middling qualities of saltpetre have been in re-
quest. Cochineal has ruled dull, and in tallow
the transactions have been limited. Spices have
been inactive.
A rumour has been circulated during the last
few days to the effect that the Bank of France has
authority to issue an additional 8,000,0001. of
notes. No authentic information has transpired
on the subject; but it is generally admitted that
the measure, if adopted, would have a very bene-
ficial influence upon the Paris money market.
There is very little variation in the English
Stock Market, but the investments made by the
public give support to prices. Until the financial
statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is
made known, it is not considered likely that any
speculative dealing will take place, as the pro-
gress of the money market will in the future
have greater influence on the Funds than political
movements. Judging from the numerous Joint-
Stock Companies that are being brought forward
there seems very little prospect of any material
relaxation in the rates of discount for some time
to come. Consols for transfer have been 931 and
93 to 931. For account, they are 93g A.
The New Three per Cents. have been 921 to
93, and the Reduced 911 to 921. Bank Stock
is 2121 to 214, and East India Stock 223 to 231.
The Consols Scrip is marked 31 prem. Exche-
quer Bills, March, are par to 33. prem., and the
Scrip is 31 prem.
The Foreign Stock Market is very dull, and
some of the quotations are flatter. Turkish 6 per
Cents. have receded to 981 g for account, and the
4 per Cents. have been nominal all the morning.
Sardinian Bonds opened heavily at 94i, and have
since risen to 951 and 96. Mexican Bonds are 23.
Brazilian Small ditto 100, and Dutch 2i per Cents.
63.
A meeting of the Spanish Certificate holders has
been convened by Sir John Fitzgerald, M.P., who
proposes forming an energetic committee for the
purpose of taking measures to obtain considera-
tion at the hands of the Government of Madrid.
The improving financial condition of Spain,
and the example set by her neighbour Portugal,
have, indeed, a more confident feeling among the
holders of the coupons.
Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report that in the
market for American Securities there has not been
much animation during the past week, and prices
generally are without alteration, with the exception
of Illinois Central Bonds, for which there has been
a considerable demand at improved prices.

The Railway Share Market is dull, and without
any change of importance. In the French market
there has been an attempt to depress prices, which
has been partially successful, a decline of about 11.
per share having taken place. Part of this, how-
ever, has been recovered, but some of the lines are
still weak. Sambre and Meuse are heavy.
Mining and Banking Shares are flat.

(BY ELECTRIC TALEGRAPII.)
QUEEN'S GUINEAS.

Saucebox
Sir Rowland Trenchard

Four ran.
501. HANDICAP PLATE.

2,000 horses could have been found on the plateau, but
there was plenty of stone a short distance off.
Lord Lucan—Did you satisfy yourself that there were
materials and labour wherewith to shelter the horses,
before you wrote that paragraph, attributing want of
promptitude and ingenuity, and to which I take ex-
ception ?

Col. Tulloch—l did satisfy myself, by the Quarter-
master-General's answers, that there was no diffi-
culty, so far- as I could see, except that of labour, in
providing shelter ; and that labour appeared principally
to apply to the Turkish soldiers not being good work-
men. I certainly considered that there was a certain
amount of cavalry available for the construction of shel-
ter. With regard to the tools, I now learn there was a
greater deficiency than I expected. I only thought it
was a partial deficiency, confined to one or two regi-
ments. I knew sufficient timber had arrived on the
25th November. '"

2

Lord Lucan--If you had known there were neither
materials nor labour available, should you have framed
your report differently ?

Colonel Tullooh—l am not aware that I should. It
is probable, if I bad known it to a greater extent, we
should have been more particular in pointing out another
department as in fault.

Lord Lucan—l shall not examine Colonel Tulloch
further.

General Peel put some questions to Colonel Tulloch,
with reference to the mortality amongst the horses,
and as to his manner of striking the averages. He said
that if he had taken the averages of the deaths at five
months, instead of six or seven, the mortality might
have appeared to exceed the actual number of animals in
the Crimea. The averages published by the commis-
sioners were correct according to the returns furnished
them.

Lord Lucaa—Were you ever deterred (from or dis-
couraged in any way by any act of mine in giving shelter
to the horses of your brigade, but, on the contrary, did I
not urge you and every other officer to provide shelter
for the horses as far as possible ?

General Scarlett—Yes, you never discouraged me or
any other officer, but, on tile contrary, was anxious that
every shelter possible should be provided for the horses.
In answer to another question from Lord Lucan, Gen.
Scarlett said—l don't think more promptitude or inge-
nuity could have been displayed by your lordship and
the other officers in command of the cavalry in the
position we were then placed. If so I should have
thought it my duty to have stated that fact to your
lordship a 1 the moment.

Cel. Douglas was then recalled by Lord Lncan, and in
,reply to the same questions gave similar answers to
those of General Scarlett.

Col. Tulloch then put a question to Col. Douglas on
his evidence given before the commissioners, wherein he
stated he made no suggestion to Lord Lucan that he
could have put up temporary shelter with sail-cloth in a
few days, to which be replied that he did not consider it
necessary to make any suggestion to Lord Lucan to that
effect, having no materials. It was certainly his duty
as an officer to'make suggestions to his superior.
Col. Tulloch—Did not the omission of such a sugges-
tion show want of ingenuity on your part l
Col. Douglas—No, I don't think it did. (Laughter.)
I had not the command of the cavalry. It was the duty
of the Generals of Division, the Quartermaster• General,
or even Lord Raglan himt.elf, to order suchithing. It
was certainly not the duty of an officer in command of a
regiment.

By the Judge•Advocate•General—lle attributed the
great loss of horses to want of food, shelter, and the
nature of the work, that were not killed is action.

The witness retired.

Gen. Scarlett was recall el. and in answer to a question
from the Judge-A dvocAte-G eneral sae], he attributed the
loss of these horses to want of supplies in the Crimea,
and the effect of the weather on them previous to that.
Lord Lucan said that in consequence of the desvh of
Admiral, Sir D. Dundas' son, that gallant officer could not
attend, and he wished to put in the gallant admiral's an-
swer to certain queries he (Lord Lucan) had addressed
to him. He could do without it, as he intended to call
Sir E. Lyons to-m s-row.

the office of patron of this society.
Mr. Leigh Murray, the eminent actor, is engaged by

HORRIBLE ASSASSINATION IN RUPERT-

STREET.

One of the moat daring acts of assassination ever per-
petrated in this country occurred last night, shortly after
eight o'clock, in Rupert-street, Haymarket.
One man has been so seriously injured, that in all
probability he has already ceased to live ; and three
others are dangerously wounded.
The assassin is an Italian, named Foschini ; and, un-
happily, in the confusion which arose at the moment he
committed his diabolical crime, he effected his escape,
and up to the present moment has evaded the most
active search of the police officers.
_ _ .

The scene of the tragedy was an Italian and French
restaurant, kept by a native of the Papal States, named
Louis Stucchi, at 45, Rupert-street, Haymarket. This
person is at present in the provinces, and the crime,
which will give to his house a terrible notoriety, will
therefore be first communicated to him through the
newspapers.

Among the foreigners who were accustomed to assem-
ble at Stucchi's restaurant were Francesco Rossi, Carlo
De Rudio, and Pietro Chiesa, all natives of the same
part of Italy. The assassin Foschini has been a visitor
only during a comparatively recent period, but from his
family and connexions having been known to Rossi and
the other Italians, he had been admitted into their so-
ciety, and frequently passed his evenings in Rupert-
street. At about a quarter-past eight o'clock last even-
ing Rossi, Chiesa, and De Rudio were conversing to-
gether in the back room on the ground floor, on cursory
subjects, when Foschini entered, and producing a pack
of cards, suggested that the whole party should play a
game together. Rossi objected, and assigned as a reason
that he wished to go home early, upon which Foschini
repeated his request, and volunteered to fetch some beer
from a neighbouring public-house as an inducement to
keep the party together. He did so, and on re-enter-
ing the restaurant offered Rossi and the others the free
use of the beverage he had furnished. Something was
said as to the bad quality of the beer, and Foschini went
out to exchange it, returning presently afterwards, and
again joining his companions in drinking. There wss
a fifth Italian present at the time, in the person of Carlo
Rouelli— a man of education and birth, but reduced by
circumstances to act as waiter at Stucchi's restaurant.
In a short time after Foschini had rejoined the party,
and before any game of cards had been commenced, Fos-
chini complained of feeling ill, and requested that one of
the party would assist him to the shop of a medical
man. Rossi, anxious to go home, volunteered to do so,
and resting upon his arm, apparently in a state of suffer-
ing, Foschini left the house and proceeded up Rupert-
street, Rossi's intention being to conduct him to the
nearest chemist's shop for the purpose of obtaining some
alterative draught. They hal arrived at the corner of
Richmond-street, opposite to Brettell's printing-office,
Rossi rallying Foschini, and endeavouring to persuade
him that he was not so ill as he affected to be, when the
former, releasing his arm from Foschini's grasp, acci-
dentally touched with his hand a hard substance within
the trousers of the latter, which he at once knew to
be a poignard or stiletto. Rossi immediately charged him
with possession of the weapon, and asked him what he
meant. Foschini made no reply, but at once seemed to
have recovered his strength, and with Rossi retraced his
steps to the restaurant. Rossi had, it appears, some
knowledge of Foschini's desperate character, and from
his sullen manner on being questioned he felt somewhat
alarmed. On reaching Stus:chi's house Rossi was in the
act of placing his hand upon the door handle, for the
purpose of entering, when Foschini, who was following
closely behind, struck hiss a violeAt blow over the shoulder
with his poignard. The blow fortunately took only a slight
effect, having been stopped by one of the upper ribs. Rossi
instantly exclaimed, " What are you doing, assassin ?"
But before he had time to recover himself he received an-
other blow on the arm, and retreating into the house, he
was followed by Fcachini, who continued to strike at him
with his poignard. Chiesa,Delludio, and the waiter Rouelli
were in the front saloon on the ground floor when this
attack took place, and on discovering Rossi retreating
from the assassin they ran to his assistance. Foschini
then dealt his deadly blows against all present. Rossi,
faint from loss of blood, rushed into the street, and,
calling aloud for help, hastened to the nearest surgeon's,
where his wounds were dressed, and from here he aas
conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital. As soon as Rossi
left the house, Foschini, with an artful cunning, turned
off the gas, and then in comparative darkness continuer
his murderous attack. Rouelli, the waiter, who had been
foremost in endeavouring to seize the assassin, fell first,
dangerously wounded in the head and abdomen, and,
indeed, in all parts of the botly. Da Rudio next suc-
cumbed, and Chiesa alone remained to grapple with the
assassin, when Foschini, finding, it is supposed, his
strength to fail him, retreated into the street, followed
by Chiesa. On finding himself pressed, within a few yards,
the assassin turned again upo❑ Chiesa, and struck him
a severe blow in the abdomen, from the effects of
which Chiesa fell, still retaining strength, however,
to call upon the bystanders, of whom nearly twenty
were at hand, to arrest the assassin. The sight of the
poignard and the determined appearance of Foschini,
however, seemed to strike a panic into every heart, and
the assassin was actually allowed to escape without mo.
leztation, no police constables being at this time near.
' As soon as the restaurant was entered a dreadful sight
presented Use's. Rouelli, apparently in a dying state,
was stretched upon the floor, blood flowing freely from
wounds in every part of his body, and De Rudio was in
a fainting state also from hemorrhage. Assistance was
at once procured, and all the injured persons were con-
veyed to the Charing-cross Hospital, where the best
medical aid was instantly afforded by Dr. Golding and
Mr. Hancock, the chief physician and surgeon to the
institution.

The case of Rouelli was at once pronounced to be a
most dangerous one, and under the advice of the medi-
cal men his deposition was at once taken by Inspector
Parke, of the V division, under whose care all the
wounded men had been conveyed to the hospital.
M. Francois' Napoleon, an Italian, and M. Albert, in-
terpreter at Marlborough-street Police-court, were sent
for, and as soon as they had arrived, the dying man's
statement was taken—Mr. J. T. Buck, house surgeon,
supporting the unhappy man, and directing the officers
how to apply their questions between the paroxysms
of agony from which the poor many suffered.
The statement was as follows :
"April 17, 11.45 p.m.
"I, Carlo Rouelli, of 45, Rupert-street, Haymarket,
state that I feel that I am dying from the effects of the
wounds that I received from the man named Foschini,
in the front parlour of the ground floor of the house, be-
tween S and 9 o'clock p.m. this day. lam not aware of
having given any offence or cause for such an attack.
Foschini jumped on me like a savage, and stabbed with
a triangular-formed instrument in several places, more
particularly in the region of the heart and the head.

THEE LATE LOCOMOTIVE EXPLOSION ON THE CALE-
DONIAN RAILWAY.—The adjourned inquest upon the
bodies of Thomas Musgrave, engine driver, and Isaac
Sessford, stoker, who lost their lives by the late loco-
motive explosion on the Caledonian Railway was held in
the Coffee-house Assembly-room, Carlisle, on Tuesday,
before W. Carrick, Esq., county coroner. The jury
assembled shortly atter 10 o'clock. The coroner ad-
journed the inquiry till Thursday, the 24th instant.
STAB CLUB OF LONDON.—On Wednesday last, the
third meeting of this club, for the present session, was
held at Fenton's Hotel, St. James's-street. The mem-
bers present were Mr. Cowan, M.P. ; Mr. rite, M.P. ;

CONVOCATION OF Till CLERGY.—The Lower House
again as,embled yesterday morning ; Dr. Peacock in the
chair. Atter some preliminary business, the house pro-
ceeded to the adjourned discussion on the Report of the
state of the Law affecting the Discipline of the Clergy.
A resolution proposed by the Archdeacon of Berks
gave rise to a long and uninteresting discussion ; after
which the Archdeacon of St. Alban's proposed, and the
Rev. Chancellor Martin seconded, a proposition to the
effect that it was not judicious to discuss the resolution
before the other portions of the report had been disposed
of. This suggestion was adopted. The house then pro-
ceeded to the discussion of the report, which lasted the
whole day. A new report was substituted for most of
the clauses which were taken up to the Upper House
for adoption, and the house adjourned at five o'clock.

" Witnesses—Francis Napoleon.

Tms MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, April 17.—The roya
mail steam-ship Tyne, Captain Valler, sailed this after-
noon with the West India and Pacific mails, 58 pas-

The sufferings of the poor fellow were of the most ago-
nising character while this deposition was being taken.
He rolled about from side to side, as if unable to obtain
a moment's relief, and continually exclaimed, " Ah, mio
din ! Ab, mio dio immortals ! Come io soffro !”
It was generally believed that he could not survive
through the night.
A very accurate description of the assassin has been
obtained by Inspector Parke from M. Rossi ; and it is
hoped he will not be many hours at liberty. He is a
young man only 23 years of age.

ANCIENT SEPULCHRAL RELICS IN PERTHSHIRE.--A

rude forts of the Caledonians.—Edirebrirgh Courant.
