THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.

The Hon. Mr. Stapleton attended yesterday at the Court
of Bankruptcy to sign his examination.
Mr. Huddleston said—Sir, Mr. Stapleton has be-n called
upon to sign his examination, and he wishes me to add an
explanation to one or two of the answers which he gave. I
have shown my friend, Mr. Linklater, the statement which
Mr. Stapleton wishes to be added to his examination, and I
think there can be no objection whatsoever to it ; and there-
fore probably your Honour will permit him to add that to his
examination. _ _

PR Mr. Linklater—l have looked at the statement which Mr.
Stapleton wishes to add to his evidence, and I really see no
objection at all to its being added to his examination.
The Commissioner—There can be no objection to that
being added.
Mr. Huddleston—There is another application which I
have to make to your Honour, which I think you will feel
the justice. Mr Stapleton of course is in the position of a
person against whom the ordinary proceedings are taken in
Bankruptcy. He has been anxious that every document and
every paper over which ho had control in any manner what-
ever should be given up to those who have been appointed
to investigate the affairs of this bank, and he has given the
most unreserved directions to Mr. Paddison for that pur-
pose. Sir, his application nnw is that he moy be per-
mitted, under such regulations as you shall think proper
to give, to have access to those papers and documents for
the purpose of assisting him in the investigation of the
affairs of the bank as they now stand, and also for the pur-
pose of explaining if his conduct should be inquired into
hereafter, as has been threatened, and I trust that your Hon-
our will think that it is a reasonable application on his part,
and that you will grant him what he asks.
The Commissioner said he had no objection to any of the
parties who are sought to be charged with any offence, hav-
ing access to all matters connected with the bank under the
bankruptcy.

trade to Commander Philips, of her Majesty's ship
Polyphemus, unless he was guaranteed some reward, still
holds the commission of the peace at the Gold Coast ;

magistrates referred to were retained in the commission
of the peace. (Hear, hear.)

whether the War Department, in continuing the experi-
ments with the Whitworth rifle, would simultaneously
cause experiments to be made with the weapon known

Department had been officially drawn by reports com-
municated from India ?

if the various plans submitted to the War Department
during the late war, of attaching the cap to the cart-

necessity of the soldier having to bite the cartridge, had
received the attention of the Secretary of State for the
War Department, and if any of them was likely to be

cause experiments to be made with the weapon known
as Col. Jacobs' rifle, to which the attention of the War
Department had been officially drawn by reports com•
municated from India ?
Si rJ. RAMSDEN said that some experiments had
been made of Jacobs' rifle, bat only at the fourth range.
It was the intention of the War Department to make
some farther satisfactory experiments.
RIFLE LOADING.

Mr. STANLEY ;sked the Under-Secretary for War,
if the various plans submitted to the War Department
during the late war, of attaching the cap to the cart-
ridge, or other contrivance obviating the troublesome
necessity of the soldier having to bite the cartridge, had
received the attention of the Secretary of State for the
War Department, and if any of them was likely to be
adopted ?
Sir J. RA.MSDEN said, that a very ingenione con•
trivarce had been under the consideration of the War
Department, for the object mentioned, but it had been

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY. •

Considering that the race for the great Epsom Derby
is so near at hand, we never saw betting at lower ebb
than it is at present, which may, however, to a great
extent, be attributed to the great and numerous invest-
ments that have previously been made upon it. The few
transactions that came under our notice to-day were of
scarcely any importance, and, principally " hedging"
bets. There is one feature, however, that we think de-
serves special notice, and that is, the apparent magic
properties possessed iu Saunterer. This horse is up and
down in the market with comparatively speaking, no
outlay of money. The odds to twenty pounds against
him, in a certain quarter, judiciously laid, would send
him to 25 to 1, and, by the same rule, less than that
amount would bring him to one-third those odds. To-
day ho jumped from 15 to 1 to 8 to 1, and so puzzled
did the layers of the odds appear to be with respect to
this Saunterer, and so little inclined to meddle with him,
that we could not satisfy ourselves as to what was
his legitimate price, and shall therefore, for the present,
leavo him out of her list of quotations. 20 to 1 to 251.

THE LUNDITILL COLLIERY EXPLOSO

gi°j
The inquest on the 189 suffererers by this exl3-c't
was brought to a close yesterday evening, when after d
elaborate summing up by Mr. Badger, the coroveliniti
the 11 days' evidence, the jury returned the foll°
verdict : _ors
" The jury are of opinion that Abraham V' tito
Thomas Grey, and others, met with their deaths fr°l/ ti
effects consequent upon an explosion of carburetted)

February last, but the immediate cause of such end
sion there is not any conclusive or sufficient t

however must condemn the laxity of the disciplill'd
the non-observance of the rules allowed by the 013,,,P.1,1,
and his deputies at the Lundhill Mine. The jury

of the education of the working miners was e,
luded to by the before.mentioned gentlemen, Ye fto
omission has been remedied in the able charge

that every practical effort should be resorted to tfhlinil

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, MAT 22.
The demand for manufactures has been on a limits
"
sc3ll since Tuesday, as well as previously, and there bad
been no new feature in the market this morning. Sale:
have been effected with difficulty where pi oduceis
been unwilling to accept lower prices, and the dispoB2,
tion of buyers is evidently to limit their purchases to to°
immediate requirements of the day. The result is a COr
stant accumulation of almost all kinds of cloth in steam
and a consequent weakening of prices. There has beet'
rather more inquiry for some descriptions of cletb'
but it has not led to business. The price of thie
raw material has been well sustained in LiverPl
notwithstanding arrivals to the extent of more tha:
200,000 bales during the week, and, though thisfirmness has probably helped to sustain the
va
of goods, the large arrivals have, no doubt, the ete
feet of increasing the caution manifested by elliPPei•
as well as by the home trade in this market. The buo
ness in domestics has been on a less scale than ,it
last week, and the unremunerative rates obtainable '",„
such sales as are made have increased the disposition;
reduce the production of the looms in these goods. j
printers and shirtings there is also an over supply, pd
those who cannot afford to hold stocks, as well as th,°`
who feel it unsafe in the present artificial state of pri7o
are taking such means as are in their power to 10,d
their responsibilities as far as it is possible. In
spinners have been willing to accept offers this stye
they would have declined last week, And 'ip
aggregate business in these goods, as well el
cloths, has been limited in amount, and unsatisPeo
tory as regards prices. The tendency in both bract,
of the market is against sellers. The committee of 0
association for obtaining a better supply of COteare continuing their exertions to force this ellgi-ty
upon public attention, and at a meeting held on Thaoi
day, Mr. Bazley, the chairman, said we were now Pa1.,41,
21d. to lid. per lb. above the ordinary cost of Aseer,:r;iA
cotton, which amounted to not less than 10,000 cos
upon the consumption of last year. 'lf the crop 0' the
coming autumn should be anything like adequate to
00
wants of the trade, of which there is some hope belie
in a letter read from Henry Ashworth, who is e?it
the United States, it is evident that a great reductioo.o
present values must take place before long, and 10$'
probably the fear of tbis readjustment which is to sonief,
tent preventing sales in cloth and yarn at the present
ment. It will be learnt with satisfaction that a del) Abe
tion from merchants in Liverpool was present astmel
meeting, and that a cordial co-operation betweeeh
two towns on this question is likely to result.
