MONE WAND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were only 1,500
bales American, all to the trade, and at about previous rates.

The intended reduction of the rate of interest at present
allowed by the Savings Banks continues to excite consider-
able discussion, and there are not a few who view
with anxiety any measure likely to prove in-
jurious to the steady progress of that principle of
economy and industry, which has hitherto exercised so
powerful an influence on the moral habits of our least
wealthy population. The idea is, that even at some sacri-
fice, an effort should be made to keep up the present
interest, wherever the circumstances of the depositors can be
ascertained to be such only as fairly to entitle them to the
benefits of these valuable institutions. Perhaps, it has been
suggested, there might be some arrangement for allowing the
full existing rate to those having funds to a certain amount, say
70/., the reduced interest commencing at that point, because
parties possessed of such a sum are presumed to have better
opportunities for investment in the funds, or for otherwise
employing their capital. The hint has also been
thrown out for combining a plan of loan societies with the
savings banks, and under efficient regulations this seems a
feasible measure, as the profit derived from such a source
could be made available to the support of the present rate of
interest paid to the depositors, besides affording assistance
to honest borrowers, not always in the largest proportion of
those who obtain pecuniary advances. To a certain extent,
mere private loan associations, are unable to lend upon fair
terms, acting as they do upon the principle
of making the good pay for the bad. Thus a loss of
50/. to 100/. is made up by the man of some little substance
and of integrity, who does intend to pay. With all their
vigilance private loan associations have frequent losses, and
probably the higher ones, combining the life assurance
with the lending department, are more exposed to
them than the minor and less scrupulous con-
cerns. The question then occurs as to what means the
savings banks would have of guarding against similar
losses, and of more correctly ascertaining the character and
circumstances of their borrowers. We should answer simply
that the bulk, and if necessary, the whole of their loans would
be to depositors, and so far there would be some guarantee for
the frugality of the parties borrowing and of those becoming
sureties. This, with other checks would most likely open a
wide sphere of usefulness to the savings banks.
The letters per Arcadia steamer are expected this after-
noon.

The Stock Market is not quite so good, and a few sales in
Consols have caused the prices to recede from 998 4 to 994 8.
The Commissioners have taken 30,0001. at 994. Exchequer
Bills have been dull at 695. to 71s. premium. The new
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have been also lower, viz. 1028
to 1, and the Reduced 1014 4. The Three per Cents. have
been 984 to 99. Bank Stock still droops, being 1924 to 1934,
and India Stock has not been higher than 2874.
The Foreign Market participates in the flatness of Consols.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been down to 244 4, and the
Three per Cents. to 351 4. Mexican are at 354 to 1;
Colombian at 141 ; and Chilian Deferred at 55 to 54. Dutch
Two• and-a-Half per Cents. have receded to 603.
The Railway Shares are less buoyant, and, with one or
two exceptions, prices are rather more favourable to the
buyer.

ARRIVAL OF DANIEL O'CONNELL, M.P.-Mr.
O'Connell, M.P., arrived yesterday afternoon at the Ruston-
squa:e terminus of the London and Birtningham Railway,
by the six o'clock train from Liverpool.

- -
We hear that Baroness Lehzen, ci-devant lady at-
tendant on her Majesty when Princess Victoria, is residing
with her relatives in Germany, and is not expected to return
to England, the Queen having, it is said, settled a liberal
annuity on the Baroness, who was so many years attached
to the household of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Owen 1111Carthy was charged with assaulting police-con-
stable 195 G under the following circumstances :
It appeared from the evidence that on the previous night,
at eight o'clock, the constable took a person into custody in
Red Lion-court, Saffron-hill, for creating a disturbance
there. An immense crowd of disorderly characters assembled
400 or 500 persons. The policeman sprung his rattle and
seven other constables came to his assistance. The con-
stables were proceeding with their prisoner when the pri-
soner and seven other persons seizing 195 G by different parts
of his dress, dragged him fifty yards along the street. At
length he was with much difficulty rescued by his brother
constables, and the prisoner removed to the Bagnigge Wells
station-house.

Mr. COMBS inquired what sort of character the prisoner
was ?

Inspector Barton replied that he was an idle dissolute
fellow, who constantly associated with very low characters.
The prisoner was sober at the time of the occurrence.
Mr. COMBE asked the prisoner what he had to say to the
charge, and having nothing to urge in extenuation, was sen-
tenced to seven days' imprisonment in the House of Correc-
tion without the power of relieving himself by the payment
of fine.

SPORTTING INELLIGENCE.
GORHAMBURY RACES.—YESTERDAY.
On previous occasions we have described the number of
courses into which that part of Gorhambury Park appro-
priated to racing is subdivided; there are no less than six,
of different lengths, and, unless in a season like the present,
when every course in the kingdom is as hard as granite, are
well adapted to test the capabilities of horses of every grade.
Tht scenery, the picturesque style of "fitting up" the course,
the facility with which by railway to Watford, and thence
through a pretty country, the journey from the metropolis to
the Park, may be performed in a couple of hours, and the de •
termination of the noble owner of the property to give every
possible effect to the new regulations with regard to de-
faulters for stakes and bets, have been the subject of well-
merited praise in former notices; we have therefore now only
to observe that in the sport yesterday afternoon, the fashion
of the company, and the courteous attentions of the stewards
and their officers to their respective duties—everything
was in keeping with the established character
of the meeting. To conclude without a list of the principal
visitors would be to neglect one of the most onerous of our
duties. We must, therefore, in the first place give the names
of the party at Gorhambury ; it consisted of the Duke of Rut-
land, Marquis of Exeter, Earl and Countess of Clarendon,
Earl and Countess of Albemarle, Earl and Countess of Sefton,
Earl and Countess of Craven, Lord and Lady Folkestone,
Earl of Stradbroke, Lord Maidstone, Mr. S. Stanley, Mr. C.
Greville, Mr. Gregory, Mr. F. Craven, &c. There were also
present—Marquis of Worcester, the Earls of Chesterfield and.
March ; Lords Macdonald, Glamis, A. Fitzclarence, W. Pow-
lett, E. Russell, Villiers, C. Manners ; Count Bathyany ; Sirs
D. Baird, C. Cockerell, F. Goodricke, and W. Wynn ; Ho-
nourables R. Grimston, E. Grimston, G. Fitzroy, G. Anson,
Stanley, Paulett ; Colonel Bouvene ; Messrs. Archdall,
H. Blair, J. Stanley, Delme Radcliffe, Neville, Newton, S.
Shelley, Portman, Higgins, Worrall, Bastard, Booth, Caven-
dish, Phillimore, Brand, Gardner, Payne, Batson, Jacques ,
Irwin, &c.

The races commenced about half-past one, with
The Craven Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 20 added; 3 yrs,
6st 121 b ; 4 yrs, Bst 71b ; 5 yrs, 9st ; 6 yrs, and aged,
9st 21b. Cherry-tree Mile. (4 Subs.)
Lord E. Russell's Nat, 4 yrs (Sly) 1
Mr. Phillimore's Physalis, 3 yrs .. 2
Duke of Rutland's Hyrcanian, 4 yrs ...... . 3
Mr. Caffil's Gaiety, 3 yrs
5 to 4 agst Physalis, 3 to 1 each agst Hyrcanian and Gaiety,
and 4to 1 agst Nat. Physalis made running at a good pace,
attended by Gaiety, the others laid up to their quarters ; they
ran in this way to within half a distance of the chair, when
Gaiety fell back, and Nat joining Physalis, got to her head a
few strides from the chair, and won by half a neck. Hyr-
canian a respectable third.
Produce Match, 50, one mile, 2 yrs old, Bst 51b each.—Mr.
T. Theobald's Chemise, by Slane (F. Butler), beat Mr. S.
Smith's St. Michael, by Calmuck. Chemise made her own
running, and won by five lengths.
The Gorhambury Handicap of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft., and 5
only if declared, with 50 added ; the second to save his
stake. Stand Course. (51 Subs., 32 declared.)
Lord G. Bentinck's the Devil-to-Pay, 3 yrs, sst., (Abdale) 1
Duke of Grafton's Cataract, 4 vrs, 7st 61b
Lord Verulam's Robert de Goiham, 5 yrs, Bst 121 b
The following also started, but were not placed :—Duke
of Rutland's Hyrcanian, 4 yrs, 7st 101b—Lord Chesterfield's
The Artful Dodger, 5 yrs, 7st 61b—Lord Caledon's Auld Lang-
syne, 4 yrs, 7st 41b—Captain Martyn's Emilian, 5 yrs, 7st 31b,
Lord Warwick's Yardley, 4 yrs, 7st 21b—Mr. Prescott's
Bosphorus, aged, 7st—Mr. Watson's Antidote, 4 yrs, Est 121 b
--W. T. Walters's Emilie, 4 yrs, Est 71b. 6to 5 agst Devil-
to-Pay ; sto 1 agst Cataract ; 6to 1 agst Antidote ; 6to 1
Amehan ; 7 to 1 agst Yardley; 7 to 1 agst Robert de
Gorham.

The Devil made play at a good pace, followed by the
Artful Dodger, Emilian third, and Robert de Gorham fourth,
the lot running clear of the nick. This order was main-
tained with scarcely any change to the last turn, where
Emilian passed the Artful Dodger, ran with the Devil-to-Pay
to the T.Y.C. post, and was beaten. Robert de Gorham then
took his ground at the Devil's quarters, Yardley following
them, with Cataract at their heels; this formation continued
within two distances of the chair, until the final change took
place. Robert de Gorham was beaten, and Cataract became
the Devil's next and last competitor. The run home was se
close that it was not until Abdale called upon his horse, that
he defeated his opponent, winning, not easily, by half a length.
Robert de Gorham was a length behind Cataract, Hyrcanian
fourth (a bad one), and the others so completely tailed off,
that it would be idle to specify the order in which they passed
the chair. The pace was good. This is the third great han-
dicap that the Goodwood three years old have won this year.
The Pile Stakes of 20 son. each, h ft, with 20 added; for
three yrs old ; colts Bst 71b, and fillies Bst 41b. Cherry-
tree mile, &c. (7 Subs.)
Lord Verulam's Charlotte
Mr. Phillimore's Skeleton
Duke of Rutland's Welbeck
5 to 1 on Charlotte, who made her own running from end
to end, and won in a common canter.

The Brigade Stakes of 5 sous. each. Last mile, &c.
Mr. Willan's Tiny, aged (Owner)
Lord GI '-'s Sistey Ra,

_ammis's Sister to ,anadan, 4 yrs
A most excellent race, Tiny winning by only a head

20 to 1 agst Mr. Scott's Bay Momus—taken
20 to 1 agst Sir G. Heathcote's Akbar—taken.
The first news that greeted us on reaching the course was
that a letter had been received in the morning by Messrs.
Weatherby, from Mr. Irwin, dated Dublin, declaring that
Foig-a-ballagh would not start for the Derby. Mr. Irwin,
who was on the course, informed us that this declaration was
posted on Sunday from Ireland, and that he made it imme-
diately on receipt of a communication from Mr. Forth, that
the horse was amiss. It is rather singular that the fact of an
animal trained in Sussex being amiss should have been first
made public by letter from Dublin, and that, after being
almost a dead letter in the betting, he should have been
backed at Tattersall's on Monday at 35 and 40 to 1.

DUTCH PAPERS.
THE HAGUE, MAY 13.—The Java papers to the 30th of
December last year, have been received. The following are
extracts :

" BATAVIA, DEC. 22.—0 n the 18th of this month, in the
afternoon, a fire broke out in a house at Tyangoer, which re-
duced 254 houses and warehouses to ashes. We have not
heard that any lives were lost.
" BATAVIA, DEC. 29.—We have received further accounts
of the Dutch ship the Anna and Eliza, Captain Drent, which,
on its voyage from Japan to this port, was obliged to put
into Hong-Kong damaged. We hear that the cargo had been
landed, and did not appear to have suffered any injury.
" BORNEO.—The Friend of China of. the 2d of November,
announces that the Young Queen schooner, Captain Hart,
and the brig Anne, Capt. Lewis, had sailed on the 28th of
October from Hong-Kong, bound to Borneo. The expedition
was fitted out at the expense of Mr. Erskine Murray, who has
the command, and is on board the Young Queen. The object
is to endeavour to open a communication with the chiefs in
hopes of obtaining some land to found a colony in one of the
most fertile parts of that great island, which at present is
almost unknown to us.",
KOLIIOR.N, MAY 11.—The workmen employed in the dikes
struck for an increase of wages, and though no acts of violence
were committed, it was thought advisable to send some
troops to be employed in case of need. To-day they returned
to their work after the military had been called out, and they
were summoned either to return to their work at the wages
last agreed upon, or to take their discharge, All have pre-
ferred returning to work. Three of the ringleaders, however,
were arrested and sent under escort to Alkmaar,

A woodcock was shot a few days since at Reddings,
by John Tuddenham, one of the gamekeepers of Sir James
Graham, and near the place three young birds were found—a
circumstance almost without precedence in this district.
