WOLVERHAMPTON RACES, 1859.—We ( Trofrer-
hampton Chronicle) understand that at the solicitation of
the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers, M.P. forthe borough, Baron
Rothschild has consented to accept the stewardship of the
nest Wolverhampton race nieettng in conjunction with the
Earl of Stamford and Warrington.

THE EARL OF DERBY AND THE TURF.—We
(Bury Post) have the highest authority for stating that
the paragraph inserted in our last, from a London daily
paper, to the effect that Lord Derby had retired from the
turf in disgust at the ill success of his efforts for the reform
of the race-course, is altogether a misrepresentation ; that
the sole reason for his lordship's present secession from the
turf is that he finds the affairs of the state allow him no
leisure for the amusement, and has therefore directed the
sale of hls horses in training but reserves his brood mares
and foals as a point (Papilla for the future ; and that it is
not true thot his lordship has failed in any efforts for the
reform of the abuses of the turf, which was never in a more
promi§iiig condition,

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin letter, in the Borsenhalle, says :—" The
discussions of the Conferences of Paris will not be
published in extenso. At least the Conference has
adopted a resolution by which all the Powers repre-
sented have engaged not to publish anything,
except an extract from the protocols." It will be
observed that this statement is in contradiction to
one which was made a short time back in the Paris
ournals.

A Berlin letter says :--" In the numerous sittings
of the council of ministers which have lately taken
place, the question of the Prussian navy has been
under serious consideration, and the chances for
that branch of the service do not appear to be as
favourable as was at one time hoped. The
Minister of War, who every year asks for con-
siderable credits, thinks he has a direct interest
in opposing the navy, and the Minister of Finance
has declared that he is not prepared to devote
any larger sums to it, the present surplus
being barely sufficient to provide for the
increase which has been ordered in the salaries of
the government functionaries. He added that he
should, perhaps, be obliged to increase certain
taxes, particularly that on tobacco. That is the
favourite idea of the Prussian financiers, but it is
one which is not at all relished by the public.
Baron de Manteuffel, who is at the head of the
Admiralty, does not appear to have pleaded in
favour of the navy, perhaps because he fears that a
special ministry may be formed for that branch of
the public service. The arguments brought for-
ward against the increase of the naval power of
Prussia is, that the present force is amply sufficient,
and that, if increased, it would be obliged to draw
its seamen from the mercantile navy. Whatever
may be the value of these arguments, it is certain
that a State like Prussia ought to take political
reasons into consideration, and that, at present, her
navy is not in a state to contend either against
that of the Swedes, the Danes, or other second and
third-rate States."

A FEARFUL BALLOON VOYAGE.

The Toronto (Canada) Globe of Sept. 27th, con-
tains the following account Of a fearful balloon
ascent :—" A gloom is suddenly thrown over the
sympathising. public by a sad termination to the
balloon ascension at Adrian yesterday. We learn
the facts from a gentleman who has seen and con-
versed with most of the persons interested. The
balloon, with Messrs. Bannister and Thurston in
the ear, arose from the enclosure at about half-past
8 o'clock. It -went up steadily and beautifully,
taking a south-east direction, and soon became lost
to the sight of the multitude assembled at Adrian.
After the aeronauts had been up what they consi-
dered a sufficient length of time, they let the gas
escape slowly, and made a handsome descent near
Knight's-station (Riga Post-office), a few miles from
Sylvania. The aeronauts stepped from the car, and
immediately proceeded to unfasten it, and to re-
move the netting from the balloon, which gradually
turned over, finally resting with the neok upward.
Mr. Thurston got astride of the main valve, which
was a circular wooden box or frame, fixed in the
top of the gas sack (which was very large, con-
taining 25,000 cubic feet of gas), and was engaged
in forcing back the valve, which opened inward, at
the same time requesting Mr. Bannister to untie
the neck of the bag. The latter Mr. 8., who was
busy with the netting, neglected to do. The mo-
ment the netting was off, the sack suddenly arose,
and Mr. T. still clinging to the valve, Mr. B. in-
stantly grasped for the ascending balloon, but
Thurston exclaimed, Hold on, Bannister, she will
soon come down again ; ' for he supposed that his
companion had untied the neck of the sack, which
would, of course, soon relieve it of gas, and, there-
fore, of its upward tendencies ; but he was doomed
to a terrible disappointment. Up and up the bal-
loon ascended with its precious burden of human
life, and when last seen by the horrified Bannister
was full two miles high, and sailing rapidly to the
northward. Mr. Bannister, sick at heart, and
dreadfully alive to the extreme danger of his com-
rade, hurried to Sylvania, arriving in time for the
up train from Toledo, 11.25 a.m., on which he soon
arrived at Adrian with the unhappy tidings. Mr.
Thurston resided at Adrian, and had a daughter
there, his wife being dead. Hopes are yet enter-
tained of his having landed in safety somewhere in
the interior, by perforating the sack with his knife,
or some other means. Nothing further has been
heard from him up to a late hour this morning."

OUR GOLD.

The continuance of summer weather through
much of what has hitherto been deemed the
wettest period of the year., has had a very preju-
dicial effect on mining operations. The last fort-
night, however, has witnessed a most welcome
change in the weather, and the heavy rains that
have fallen have enabled the miners to make up a
little for lost time. So injurious was the long-
continued drought at some of the gold-fields—the
Ovens, for instance—that in the face of the know-
ledge of the existence of numerous paying deposits,
the miners had to leave for other localities, poorer
in auriferous wealth, but richer in the means to
make that wealth available.

There is a falling off visible in both the escort
and shipping returns for the month, as compared
with last year, but it will be perceived that
during the last fortnight our escort quantities
exceed those of the corresponding fortnight of
1856 and 1857. The following quantities in ounces
have been brought to Melbourne by the Go-
vernment escorts since the date of our last
summary :

Three nuggets, of the aggregate value of X 14,000,
were being exhibited in Melbourne, previous to
being shipped. These were taken out in the Bal-
larat: district, and were about to be shipped to
London. They are respectively named the " Wel-
come," the "Little Welcome," and the " Nil des-
perandum." The first-named specimen, of pure
gold, weighs over 2,100 ounces, and is of singular
form, far eclipsing the glories of the once celebrated
" Blanche Barkly" nugget.

14TH AUGUST.—Business during the week has
presented no movement of any consequence.
Whether it is owing to the frequent exchanges of
advices by private telegrams from shipper to con-
signee, I cannot say, but the flour market has been
remarkably steady, and may be quoted from £ 17
10e. to £lB ss. ; wheat, 7s. 9d. ; bran, Is. 7d. to
ls. Bd. Considerable quantities of imported pro-
duce have been disposed of at auction. Messrs.
Wickstead sold yellow counters (sound), at £3l
15s. ; do. (damaged), £24 2s. 6d. to £29 17s. 6d.
crystals, £32 10s. to £36 12s. 6d. In general news
there is never much occurring here, but as you have
already had the particulars of Mr. Bathurst's in-
solvency, and of his committal, it may be inte-
resting to know how his trial proceeds. After a
full investigation the result is his conviction on
the charge of fraudulent pretences and conceal-
ment of his estate. The sentence of the Court is,
however, for the present deferred. I may also
mention that Mr. Gregory's brother (Charles) and
two of his party proceeded to join Mr. Babbage,
whose despatches give a favourable account of the
country he is exploring.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
IN RE COHEN.-JUDGMENT.

This bankrupt was a paper dealer in Commercial-place,
City-road, whose application for certificate was heard last
week. _ _ _ .

His Honour said this was an application for certificate.
It was opposed on the grounds that the bankrupt did not
keep good accounts ; that he bought goods when he knew
he was insolvent ; and that he was insolvent at the time he
purchased goods of a person named Ridley. Bankrupt ap-
peared to have kept his accounts very badly, but he (his
Honour) did not think there was sufficient evidence that he
stated he was solvent when he contracted the debt with
Ridley, nor was there sufficient evidence to satisfy him
that the bankrupt knew that he was insolvent. On the
whole, therefore, he thought that the bankrupt might have
a second-class certificate after an adjournment of six months
from the date of the last examination.

den, a curious old military treasure chest; fornierly the pro-

after the siege. The chest- was- of iron, and the locks and
keys were very curious. The works of the principal lock,
which had eleven bolts fitting into a ledge all round the

secured by two padlocks. There was verrlittle 'competi-

Provost and magistrates to eall their attention to the "great
and increasing" amount of petty trading carried on in that
city on the. Sabbath. A lengthy conversation took place on
the subject, in the course of which a question was raised as
to the parties whose duty it was to prosecute in, cases of
Sunday trading. As' considerable uncertainty prevailed on.
this point, it was finally. agreed that the magistrates should
take the opinion of counsel on the matter.

resting to know how his trial proceeds. After a
full investigation the result is his conviction on
the charge of fraudulent pretences and conceal-
ment of his estate. The sentence of the Court is,
however, for the present deferred. I may also
mention that Mr. Gregory's brother (Charles) and
two of his party proceeded to join Mr. Babbage,
whose despatches give a favourable account of the
country he is exploring.

OUR GOLD.

The continuance of summer weather through
much of what has hitherto been deemed the
wettest period of the year, has had a very preju-
dicial effect on mining operations. The last fort-
night, however, has witnessed a most welcome
change in the weather, and the heavy rains that
have fallen have enabled the miners to make up a
little for lost time. So injurious was the long-
continued drought at some of the gold-fields—the
Ovens, for instance—that in the face of the know-
ledge of the existence of numerous paying deposits,
the miners had to leave for other localities, poorer
in auriferous wealth, but richer in the means to
make that wealth available.

There is a falling off visible in both the escort
and shipping returns for the month, as compared
with last year, but it will be perceived that
during the last fortnight our escort quantities
exceed those of the corresponding fortnight of
1856 and 1857. The following quantities in ounces
have been brought to Melbourne by the Go-
vernment escorts since the date of our last

Three nuggets, of the aggregate value of £14,000,
were being exhibited in Melbourne, previous to

London. They are respectively named the " Wel-

gold, weighs over 2,100 ounces, and is of singular
form, far eclipsing the glories of the once celebrated
" Blanche Barkly" nugget.

RE DILLON-THE LYCEtH THEATRE,

This was an application for certificate on behalf Mr. C.
J. Dillon, late lessee of the Lyceum Theatre.
The accounts by Messrs. Butler and Cannings have
already been published.
Mr. Bayley said that, with the consent of the assignees,
he had to ask for a first-class certificate. The bankruptcy
arose from an unfortunate speculation in the Lyceum
Theatre in 1856. The bankrupt had laid out a large sum
of money in contemplation of a successful season, when
most unexpectedly Her Majesty's Theatre was opened at
reduced prices for the same class of performances. The
speculation in consequence failed, the people flocking to the
larger theatre—the receipts falling from £lOO to £3O a
night, and that which was expected to be a profitable season
ended in a loss. It might be inferred from the balance-
sheet that at the time it commenced, September, 1856,
that the bankrupt had entered into speculation when he
was not free from debt. The fact was that some years ago
—Mr. Dillon's being a very precarious profession- -he was
compelled to petition under the Protection Act, and a por-
tion of the debts had been paid off, and the remainder
formed the deficiency. He had paid £5O a-year in liquida-
tion of the old debts. The principal creditor was a gentle-
man who had lent the bankrupt £2,000, for the
precise purposes of the speculation. Another pecu-
liarity in the present case was that the bankrupt
was required to deposit with the landlord of the
theatre, Mr. Arnold, a sum of money amounting to above
£l,OOO, as security for the due performance of the covenants
of the lease, and upon the failure of the speculation that
money became forfeited. No creditor comes forward to
complain, and he (Mr. Bayley) therefore trusted the Court
would grant a first-class certificate.
His Honour—Nothing would induce me t
to do hat.
Mr. Brooke, for the assignees, was sorry to see the loss
of £2,460 by the speculation, and would, therefore, consent
to the application.
His Honour granted :an immediate certificate of the
second class.

IN RE PARKINS.
This was a judgment on a disputed adjudication in
Bankruptcy, and was fully reported a few days since.
Theu Hip Honour
was an auctioneer in the City, but Mr. Pook,
from the
office
of Mr. Riches, Coleman-street, contended
there was no proof of trading.
our considered the case had been fully made out,
and confirmed the adjudication.

FOR LADIES.

NICOLLS' PATENT. HIGHLAND CLOAK
„is a combinalion of utility, ejegancet and comfort. No

Lady having seen or used such in -travelling., for morning
wear, or for covering full dress would willingly be without
one. It somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelaire, and
has an elastic Capucine Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy,
and meal fl 12 to 16 yards round the outer edge, falling
in graceful folds from the shoulders ; but by a mechanical
contrivance (such being apart of the Patent) the wearer can
instantly form semi-sleeves, and thus leave the arms at
liberty ; at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly
to resume its original shape. The materials chiefly used are
the soft neutral coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manu-
factured by this firm. • The price will be two guineas and a
half fof each Cloak but with the Mecznique and a lined
Hood a few shillings more is charged. This department is
attended to by Cutters, who • prepare Mantles of all kinds,
with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets, either for in or out door
use. These at all times—like this Firm's Riding Habit—are
in good taste and fit well. •Female'attendants may also be seen
for Pantalons des Dames it Cheval, partially composed of
Chamois. As no measure is required the Patent Highland
Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the Country, and is
thus well adapted for atift.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
We hear as yet of no final decision on the Por-
tuguese question. The Cabinet met to-day at St.
Cloud, the Emperor presiding in person. Some-
thing has no doubt been done by this.
The Moniteur contains the following :—" Some
journals have announced that the officers and
privates on leave of absence have received orders
to at once join their corps ; that assertion is quite
erroneous."

The civil marriage of the Duke de Malakoff with
Mlle. Sofia Valera de la Paniega was celebrated on
Tuesday evening at the mairie of the Ist arrondisse-
ment, in presence of all the Ministers, a number of
senators, general officers, and other distinguished
personages. The religious ceremony was per-
formed the same night in the chapel of the palace
of St. Cloud, in presence of the Emperor and Em-
press, Prince Jerome, Prince Napoleon, the Prin-
cess Mdthilde, the Princes and Princesses Lucien
and Joachim Murat, and a numerous and brilliant
assemblage of high personages, composed of the
great dignitaries of the State, the ministers,
marshals, grand officers of the Crown, and the
officers and ladies of the household of their Majes-
ties and of their Imperial Highnesses. The wit-
nesses for the bride and bridegroom on both
occasions were those who had signed the marriage
contract. The nuptial benediction was given by
the Bishop of Nancy, first chaplain to the Emperor.
After the religious remony all the distinguished
company present assembled in the salons of the
palace to offer their congratulations to the happy
couple.
BOURSE, Oct. 13.--The market has been more

owing to a report that the Portuguese Cabinet had
been changed, and that the difference about the
vessel Charles Georges had been settled. Threes,

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
Although only a moderate supply of beasts was on sale
here, to-day, the demand for all breeds was heavy in the
extreme, and, in some instances, prices gave way 2d. per
81bs. Prime Down sheep were mostly disposed of at Mon-
day's currency. Othewise, the mutton trade was depressed,
and the quotations had a drooping tendency. Calves—the
show of which was moderate—were very dull, and 2d. to
4d. per 81bs. lower than on Monday. Pigs were heavy, and
quite 2d. per 81bs. cheaper. Milch cows were very dull.

THE NAVY.

The Lords of the Admiralty, desirous of testing
the practicability and economy of employing steam
power in place of horses in the Government dock-
yards, have entered into an arrangement with Mr.
Bray for the use of his newly-invented steam trac-
tion engine. Their Lordships have accepted a con-
tract, at the rate of £5O per month, for the ex.clu.
sive service of the engine, to be employed in Wool-
wich Dockyard for one month certain, experimen-
tally, in the removal of timber and other heavy
stores hitherto performed by horses. The engine
yesterday morning steamed into the dockyard and
carried out the allotted day's work with the steadi-
neis and efficiency of a well-trained team, passing
the windings and acute turnings and discharging
its load at the western extremity of the yard with
perfect ease and success. The amount of fuel con-
sumed during the day was 6 cwt., at a cost of3s. 6d.
H.M. gunboat Ruby, tender to the coastguard
screw steamship Cornwallis, in the Humber, yester-
day sailed from Woolwich, after repairs, for Hull.
The following appointments have been made at
the Admiralty :—Lieut. B. L. Lefroy to the Pem-
broke ; R. D. Mason, staff-surgeon, to the Calcutta.
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution of Great
Britain, founded in 1824, for the preservation of life
from shipwreck, have completed a number of new
boats, which they are about to despatch to the fol-
lowing stations—namely, a first-class 32 feet boat
to Barton, one first-class 34 feet to Cromer, on the
coast of Norfolk ; one second-class 30 feet to Kil-

COMMERCIAL.

CALCUTTA, SEPT. 8.
Exports.—The business in our market has progressed
but rather slowly, caused, we regret to say, by limited sup-
plies from the interior. With the exception of old seeds,
and to some extent of Benares sugar, the market is very
lightly supplied.
Imports.—The market has continued very favourable as
regards mule twist, and prices of all counts with the excep-
tion of No. 50 have improved 2 to 3 pie; stocks in first
hands are light._ •

The Money Market continues easy, and accommodations
are readily obtainable in the bazaar on good securities at 5
per cent., and even lower. There has been no change in
the Bank of Bengal rates since the 19th ult.
Government Securities have been rather dull since our
laatZowing to some disposition shown by moral dealers to

sell, and to the disappointment genearlly felt in. the 5 per
cent. loan not yet being closed. There are at Present more
sellers than buyers.

EXCHANGE ON LONDON.—There was some business done
before ;the last mail went out in American credits, at
2s. Oad.; since, at 2s. ON.; and latterly at 2s. Old., which
may be considered the rate for first-class American paper
and other credits.

In Documents, much has not been done ; but they are
now 2s. Old. to 2s. Otd.
Treasury Bills have been sold at Is. 1 ltd. Some of the
local banks have been open to draw at 2s. Old. during the
past week.
