WOOL.

The public sales of wool, at which 57,214 bales colonial,
4,083 bales foreign, and 5,787 low colonial and foreign
were offered, have been brought to a close. The prices
realised were ls. 2d. to 2s. 2d., to, in some instances, as
much as 3d. per lb. lower than at the previous series. The
private contract market is decidedly firmer for English
wool, and the quotations are well supported. In other
kinds, however, very little is doing.

CONFESSION OF MURDER.

There is at present in custody on board H.M.S.
Impregnable, Captain Lord F. Kerr, the flagship of
the Admiral, Sir H. Stewart, at. Devonport, a man
named Charles Davis, a native of Wales. This man,
who is about 28 years of age, was brought from Rio
Janeiro by H.M.S. Buzzard, where he had been sem,•
ing as supernumerary on board H.M.S. Madagascar,
having entered on board that ship from a merchant
vessel whilst lying at Rio. He states that he could
notstayon board the merchant ship because,although
the captain and the mate were partial to him, the
crew hated him, and were continually plotting to
throw him overboard. He had not been long on
board the Madagascar before the same fancy seized
him, and as here was no proof of such a feeling
existing on the part of the crew, he was ques-
tioned, and the result was that he said some few
months before he had, in Wales, murdered a young
woman, and that the body would be found at a
place which he indicated. The man, who from his
hallucination was useless on board the ship, was
transferred to the Buzz )rd, and on the arrival of
that vessel in Devonport a week ago was handed
over to the Impregnable.
It is understood that during the week some per-
sons deputed to that duty have gone to Wales, and,
singularly enough, found the body of a woman
which has apparently lain there for the time men-
tioned by Davies (nine months) in the place indi-
cated by him. In consequence of this discovery he
will, no doubt, be forthwith handed over to the civil
authority to be tried for the murder, in which it is
pretty clear that he had some part. There can
no question but that his mind his been upset.pro
bably by the horror and remorse consequent on his
crime. He is still in dread of the sailors thwwing
him overboard,

PLYMOUTH, MONDAY.
The ship Monarch, 1,282 tons register, Captain
J. W. Gill, belonging to Mr. Richard Green, of
London, was off this port yesterday, 96 days from
Melbourne, having ,sailed therefrom December the
25th, 1860.

She has 22,000 ovaices of gold, valued at £BO,OOO,
20 cabin and 86 steerage passengers, and a cargo of
wool, copper ore, and black sand.

The Monarch has experienced generally un-
favourable winds; much ice was met to the west-
ward of Cape Horn, which was rounded January
29th.

On the 13th of February, in lat. 29.32 S., long.
28.30 W., she spoko Her Majesty's paddlewheel
steam sloop Gorgon,, 6, Commader Bedford C. T.
Pim, with the Swift in company, seven days out
from Rio Janeiro, for the Cape of Good Hope.
The Monarch crow ied the line on the 2d of March.

FRAUDS ON 711 E COMMERCIAL BANK.

The further exam ination of the prisoners, John
Dui den and James liolcroft, took place at the Bow-
street police-court on Saturday afternoon, and occu-
pied the court till tl te hour of closing ; Mr. Met-
calfe attending for Durden, and, Mr. Sleigh for
Holeroft, as on the previous occasions.
The prisoner Burden appeared much better in
health, but manifested no great interest in the pro-
ceedings. Holeroft,, however, appeared anxious
and careworn, and had evidently suffered much
from his incarceration.
Mr. Humphreys stated that the accumulation of
important evidence rendered it impossible to close
the examination to-day, but he should be able to
trace another of the notes which had been taken
from the bank, through the testimony of a Mr.
Millard, with whom the prisoner Holeroft had
had very extensive business and money trans-
actions. It had been discovered, also, that the
account of Mr. Joel, a customer of the bank, had
been tampered with, but Mr. Joel being a gentle-
man of the Hebrew persuasion, was prevented by
the Holy Passover from being in attendance that
day. There would be no difficulty in having him
at the next examination, and his clerk was then
present.

- The Clerk—l have, Mr. Joel's pass-books with me.
Mr. Humphreys said they would not be evidence,
and the attendance of Mr. Joel was quite indispen-
sable. He believed that the depositions of to-day
would go materially to strengthen the charge of
complicity against the prisoners at the bar.
Evidence was them taken, at the eon elusion of
which the prisoners were further remanded for a
fortnight.

THE FIELD DAY AT WIMBLEDON.

The grand military display of the Volunteers of
the metropolis and surrounding districts to-day at
Wimbledon-common, so far as the numbers of elec-
tives attached to metropolitan regiments are con-
cerned, exceeded those at Brighton. Wimbledon-
common to-day was converted into a complete sup
posed field of battle, with lines of attack and
defence, with, it is stated, artillery, cavalry, and
commissariat, all arranged in due and proper order.
At a meeting held on Saturday of the officers
commanding corps intending to take part in the
field operations, the following arrangements were
made :---

A general muster of the various Middlesex corps
will take place at Knightsbridge, from whence
they will march at 11.30 to Wimbledon, where they

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the provincial markets, held on Saturday, were
but moderately supplied with wheat. All good and fine
samples were disposed of somewhat readily, at an advance
in the quotations of fully is. per quarter. inferior parcels,
however, were much neglected. Most descriptions of
aping corn were inactive. Flour, however, was firm in
pu ice.

_
Throughout the continent wheat is advancing in value.
In the United States prices have shown a tendency to give
way.

The arrivals of English wheat and other produce last
week were limited. The imports from abroad amounted
to 23,769 quarters of wheat ; 5,101 barley ; 43,123 oats ;
2,265 rye; 2,455 beans; 320 peas; 263 tares; 6,307 lin-
seed ; 5,550 rape seed ; 270 maize ; 162 sundry ; 3,570
sacks and 22,253 barrels of flour.
The supply of English wheat on sale in to-day's market
was very limited, for the most part, in fair condition ; in-
deed, a really good sample was to be found with difficulty.
For all descriptions, holders were very firm in their de-
mands, and the late advance in the quotations was fully
supported.
The show of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive.
Most kinds commanded a steady consumptive inquiry. at
full quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain fully maintained the late im-
provement in value, although the arrivals off coast have
been very large.
The show of English barley was limited ; of foreign, how-
ever, moderately extensive. Generally speaking, the trade
ruled dull, yet no further change can be noticed in prices.
For low qualities, the quotations were very irregular.
Good sound oats moved off steadily at previous rates, but
other descriptions were a slow inquiry.
There was about an average business doing in malt, on
former terms.

Beans were in moderate supply and steady request, at
full prices.

For peas there was a fair sale, at late rates.
The flour trade was firm. In prices, however, very little
change took place, owing to the large arrival from New
York.

nN TRUE and FALSE SPERIVIATORRHCEA;
V with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypoehrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is thefirst time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemole it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places
It within tho reach of every one interested in the matter."—

the character of risks that high Premiums may be unneces-

BOW-STREET.

THE COMMERCIAL BANK FRAUDS.—The prisoners
Durdan and Holcroft, in accordance with the remand,
were placed at the bar again this morning, but the appear-
ance of the prisoners was merely formal, as the magistrate
has not power to remand a prisoner for a longer period than
eight days at a time. It is expected that all the charges
will be completed next week. The trial, on the committal
of the prisoner to the Old Bailey, will not take place until
the May sessions of the Central Criminal Court.

" The signing bf the Franco-Belgian commercial
treaty," says a Paris letter in the Independance,
"is now delayed by only a single difficulty relating
to alcohols. The representatives of France appear
disposed to adhere to the conditions they claim,
and, on the other hand, the Belgian plenipoten-
tiaries do not think that further concessions on their
'part would be approved by the Belgian Chambers.
The signature is consequently adjourned for the
moment, -but there is little reason to doubt that a
.o,C,.etkeivry to both parties, will soon
be brought about."

TUE COASTGUARD SERVICE.- .It would appear
from a return recently made that the value of wrecked pro-
perty saved or protected by the Coastguard during the year
1860 amounted to upwards of £1,100,000, while the number
of persons rescued from a watery grave during the same
period by this gallant body of men was 528. Results so
creditable to the vigilance and bravery of those conoerned
speak for themselves, and, irrespective of the value of this
important force as the nucleus of our naval reserves and for
the protection of the revenue, the figures we have quoted
will show that no slight services are rendered in which the
mercantile portion of the community is specially conicerned.

.EXECUTIO a OF THE .DUND.RT MN?"

DERERS.

Yesterday morning Matthew Wedmore sod
Charles Wedmore suffered the extreme penalty ei
the law in front of the County Gaol, a t Taunton;
for the murder of Sarah Waterman, the aunt ofth_
two culprits. The circumstances under which these
two men obtained entrance to the cottage inhabited
by the murdered woman and her husband, and the
chain of evidence which connected them with the
crime, will be too clearly remembered to need reps'
tition.

Both the prisoners rose at an early hour, and were
alternately visited by the rev, chaplain ; theVi;
tened with apparent earnestness to his exhortations,
and were evidently prepared to meet their fat

before eight o'clock the under-sher 7
arrived at the gaol, and, accompanied by 31;
W. Oakley, the governor, and other officials of t
prison, proceeded to the cells. The execution 4
(Calcraft) pinioned them in the separate cells, an
they bore themselves with great composure during
the awful ceremony. As the prison clock etruile,

men that their hour had come. They met for 1;:d..

adjusted the ropes, and within a few moments all;

This Hospital is entirely devoted to destitution in its most
pitiable form, viz., that which is accompanied by sickness and
disease, and is now of sufficient magni nde that, with ade-
quate support, i may be rendered capable of admitting into
its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this
zrear metropolis. It requires but the funds ,n order to have
500 beds imm*-diately available for the reception of these the
most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratui-
tously-affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the
average, than 2,000 out-patients a week.

ITALY.

The following letter, published by the Campana

to the Director of the Milititry Institute of Sicily :
" Caprera, 15th March.
"Dear Director,—l am deeply grateful to you
for the kind remembrance you have retained of me,
and for your civilities. Be kind enough to remem-
ber me most affectionately to my dear young com-
panions of the Institute. Tell them that Italy must
be master from Istria to Marchino (the southern
extremity of Sicily), and that we old men rely on
the support of their young and valorous arms to
complete the expulsion of the Germanic rulers.

" GARIBALDI."
A letter from Rome, in the Gazette du Midi
says :

" The police have expelled about 20 families from
this city, and among them that of Troubelzkoy,
who are relatives of Count de Morny, and who were
obliged to leave after only four days' stay. In
leaving, the Princess de Troubelzkoy said gaily to
the keeper of the hotel at which she had been stop-
ping. Adieu ! But we shall soon return to Rome
with the Piedmontese, and as your accommodation
is good, we will again put up at your house 1"

TEE ROAD MURDER.

There is now no room to hope that this myste-
rious crime will be discovered—at any rate, through
ordinary means. The small number of persons
who composed the household on the fatal night are
fast being separated. Elizabeth Gough is at her
home in the suburbs of London, Miss Constance
Kent is on the point of leaving for a school in
France, her brother William is already from home,
and the rest of the family will leave Road Hill
House in a day or two, whither is not generally
known ; but it is- believed they intend travelling
for some time. The contents of the now celebrated
house will shortly be offered for public sale, and
doubtless the public will avail themselves of the
privileges of an auction day to gratify a curiosity
so much felt to view the scene of the mysterious
murder. The cot, from which the ill-fated child
was taken to his cruel death, will not be sold. The
house and grounds are for sale, but thQre does not
seem to be much disposition on the part of any one
to occupy so famous a residence. As to the crime
itself, we believe it is now given up as being among
the things which are too mysterious to be inquired
into.
