The more important stocks were dull ' se with little business, and prices have generally been rather n flatter. Some of the lighter stocks are better sop- so ported. Chester and Holyhead', Oxford and Wet , sof centers, South Wales and York and North Midlands "i were all rather higher. In Great Northern' there so was considerable activity, bat stock has come more I : freely to market since the late rise, and yesterday's s rates were not quite maintained. za 4.--1--11.1 A-71-1 — 4 11400lToon le 04116 o=ol . sa ..

There were buyers of Alfred Consols to-day at 18. The gold mining share market was remarkably well supported to-day ; the arrival of gold, the fa vourable report of the colonial gold companies, and the satisfactory progress of some of the Californian companies, including more especially the Agus Fria, combining to stimulate confidence. In several in stances prices have ruled at an improvement. Agna Fria reached 21 prem. At 4 o'clock British Aus tralian were quoted 1 to Z prem.; Colonial Gold, 21 to 1 prem. ; Port Phillip, Ito 1 prem. ; Nouveau Monde, 11 to 11 prem.; Ague Fria, 21-16 to 2 3-16 prem.; Anglo Californian, a to 1 prem.; and Great Nugget Veto, 21 to 21 prem. Australian Freehold were again firmer. Peel River shares were an ex ception, being flatter, at 41 to 41 prem. The shares of the Old Australian Copper, National Brazilian, and United Mexican Companies are cheaper, but Copiapo arc decidedly better. The non-official closing quotations are : —Aus tralasian Coal, 1 dis. to k pm.; New iSouth Wales Coal, 4 dia. to par; Port Hunter and Moreton Bay Coal, 4 die. to A. prem. ; Mount Carbon Coal, par to 1 prem. ; London and Liverpool Australian Gold Mining and Streaming, k to 4 prem.; Mel bourne Gold, 1, 1 per share ; Australian Mutual, dis. to par; Australian Consols, 1 dis. to par ; Monarch Gold, 1 dis. to par; Chartered Australian Land and Mining, Z, 1 per share ; Worthing (new shares), Ito 4 dia. ; Lewis Hill Range, Zto 1 ; New South Wales Gold, to ;dim. ; Golden Mountain, per share ; La Peruvienne, 1 dis. to k prem.; Lake Superior Copper, / dis. to 4 prem. ; Cey lon Land and Mining, 1 dis. to par ; Brucutu Gold, par to 1 prem. ; Feather River Land and Gold, par to 1 prem. ; Gladbach Zinc, to 14 prem. ; Pontgtbaud Silver Lead, par to 1 prem. ; Chalanches Silver, par to # pm. ; Cologne Lead, / dis. to Iprem. ; New Linares, Ito 1 prem.; South Devon Consols, par to prem. ; Tre to 1 prem. ; Mize Head, par to k prem.; &13 1114 Carberry West, 1 die. to 1 prem. ; Connemara, par to 1 prem. ; Glenaultn, 1 dis. to par ; Sulphate of Barytes, 1, „ per share ; Irish Consols, par to 1 prem.; L'Aigle d'Or, 1 dis. to 1 pm.; Adelaide Land and Gold, to dis. ; Portland Iron, par to 1 prem. ; Knockatrellane Copper, 1 dis. to / prem.; Metcalfe Mining Company of Jamaica, 16 to 16 prem. ; Jamaica Copper, 5 to 3 pram; Port Royal and St. Andrew's Copper, 2 to 1 pram THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocx.

The private view of pictures in the Royal Academy took place yesterday, and the public may be pre pared for a good average exhibition, although several of the greatest names are absent from the catalogue. Leslie, Midis., and Mulready are wholly unrepre sented; and if the exhibition, notwithstanding the absence of these, and the recent losses of Etty and Turner, is nevertheless a good average one , it fol lows t hat the rising artists must have shone forth this year with unusual strength. But if some of the established nameido not appear, or appear with less conspicuousness than hitherto, there aro others whose owners have been un commonly active. Sir Edwin Landseer and Sir Charles Eastlake make more show this year than they have done for several seasons. Land seer has four great pictures, two of which are, we think, among the very finest of his productions. C. W. Cope, a painter of deserved and increasing popularity, has several pictures of true and unpre tending merit. Roberts and Stanfield adorn the walls with several noble specimens of landscape and architecture. E. M. Ward has two pictures that will attract much attention. Creswick and J. Lin nell, are as delightful as ever in the delightful way of simple and truly English landscape ; and there is a fair sprinkling of pictures worth looking at by various other artists of more or less note. The por trait department is not deficient several large-used portraits, by Sir J. W. Gordon, have im pressed us as being conspicuous for their merits as likenesses ; and the miniature room is not likely to •be less attractive than usual. The brilliant little Pravaphaelite constellation shines with unprecedented lustre. Mr. Millais and Mr. Holman Hunt again appear as the leaders of the school; the latter perhaps even more diatino lively than the former. Mr. picture of the " Order of Release" is probably the most perfect thing on the walls of the Academy; but its " Free raphaelitism " is by no means so decided as that of Mr. Hunt's Scene from " Measure for Measure." Mr. Millais has met his gradually relenting critics half-way. He has not made any sacrifice of his principles in this compromise, but has only consented to assume a milder shade of that artistical protes tantism which is the very . essence of Prieraphael itism, as far as Prwraphaelitism is distinguished from any other kind of good painting. In his exquisite pictures of this year Mr. Millais is scarcely more " Prxraphaelite than Leslie or Mulready. Ho no longer attempts to strike by an artistical novelty, except so far as general artistic excellence is novelty. He has first fought and won a battle on his own ground, and he now challenges his rivals upon theirs • and it must be allowed that there are not many living artists who would have the hardihood to wish that their pictures should be bung side by side with his. We reserve the detailed notice of Mr. Milluis's paintings for another day — meantime calling the attention of our readers to the fact that in Mr. Holman Hunt's pictures the protestantism of " Piteraphaelitism "is *strong 'never. The scene from Measure for M a e s asure "is perhaps the most feeling picture this artist has yet exhibited—at the same tune that it is one of the most uncompromisingly Pnrraphaelitc. The pos ture of Claudio, who is nervously holding up one of his fettered feet, his body being entirely supported by the other, is a stroke of real nature. lie is quail ing in spirit before the face of his sister Isabella, whose honour he is ell but prepared to have bartered for his life, and tho moral awkward ness of his position is rightly and artistically sha dowed forth in his bodily posture. It is a very decided protest against oer:ain time-honoured acade mical traditions which nature herself, in her most in teresting aspects, is constantly guilty of violating in the most marked manner. Mr. Cross and Mr. Armitage, whom critics hare e.hossu to associate with the pros-Raphaelites, for no better reason, that we can see, than the circumstance that they are good painters and young ones, and that they happen, as it is understood, to be friends of the prmraphaelites par excellence, have each a meritorious picture in this year's exhibition. Mr. Ikon has employed his great but quiet, because harmoniously balanced, powers on a fine subject, the death of Thomas ii Becket. Mr. Armitage has chosen for his theme the escape of an unintentional homicide into one of the ancient cities of refuge, and has produced:a picture as remarkable for its truth fulness as for the strangeness of its truth. So pow erful and imaginative a restoration of characteristics so foreign to all modern European notions of senti ment and action is not often seen ; though, when seen, it is at once felt that such interpretations of scriptural and other ancient and foreign his tory are among the most excellent fruits of art. Mr. C. Collins this year exhibits a little picture of singular merit, illustrating a verse from "The Chris tian Year." It is as simple and unaffected in its effect as it is laborious and conscientious in the execution. F. Stone rends his usual contribution of pretty female faces and one large "sacred" piece, in which, as in - others which he has of late attempted of the same ft. kind, we cannot but think that he has somewhat — . a. mistaken his vocation. is Having thus thrown a hasty glance round the ,„ walls of the academy, and noted what strikes us as teal the points of salient merit, we will proceed to speak tie of individual pictures with more detail and order. • I No. 9, by J. Hollins, illustrates these lines from st. the "Merchant of Venice :" Is so Jessica, my girl, so Look to my basso; l ens right loth to go; 34 There is sumo ill a-brewing towards my rest, tl For 1 did dream of money bags to-night. IS The expressions of the Jew and his daughter are : 6 9 both good ; and that of the latter is an uncommonly good example of the artistical difficulty of a mixed U expression overcome. so st No. 13, called, " The thorny and the flowery path," ft. is by T. Uwins, and represents, in a sort of semi- i s t allegorical way, the struggle, common in youth, m, between a life of austerity and one of pleasure. A ~8 6 monk is eagerly persuading a young man to forsake al; " the broad way and the green ; and, as we as- M. some, to betake himself to the neighbouring ,1 , monastery, which is full in view. On the other so side of the picture, we see a party of merry vine- dressers, and one uncommonly attractive young $. woman is anxiously watching the effect of the 14 monk's exhortations with her sweetheart. In the ft details, this picture is creditable enough to Mr. is Uwins, but we must protest against the moral, and : even more decidedly against the mode of treating it, 1. which, as we have said, is semi-alleg orical , and there- i• tere only semi-artistical. Let us have facts or elle- i t, rubs, but not an incongruous admixture of the two. se i No. 14 is a noteworthy "Portrait of Peter Bar- 1 3, low, Esq.," by W. Boxall. 8:. No. 22, by A. Johnston, represents Melancthon, 2 1 with his wife and child, anti a stranger who, on :, entering the room, starts back on beholding the great reformer, fulfilling the paternal o ffi ce of rocking his 24 child's cradle. The face of the woman is exquisitely m pretty and tender, somewharafter the now very re common Eastlake type. There is nothing, however, is in the nerd composition that would commend it to vt. egra /e • notice. 111 be he next painting, in numerical order, is by A. te. Cooper. It depict ' Wellington's first great victory 1 : —the battle of Asaave." We object to - battle pieces s in general, and to this battle piece in particular. To ro. battle pieces in general, because it is impossible to G paint a battle, which is not a single act, but at a series of acts, rather my, a series of sets of It simultaneous acts, each set being so name- se roue, unrelated, and elaborate, that it is im- tit. possible to transfer them collectively to canvas. air possible All battle pieces we have ever seen are either repre sentations of some one comparatively insignificant per- It sonal incident, or they are " landscapes with figures," to in which human interest becomes overwhelmed by 1 9 4 4 distance, indistinctness, and infinite sub-division. Mr. s 4 Cooper's " Battle of Assye " belongs to the first class, IS and it is not, we think, a good specimen of the class. r j The peculiar and predominant pinkish-red hue is not 51 sufficiently accounted for, and it affects the eye tin- I pleasantly. sf No. 30," The Mother's Kiss," is one of C. W. Cope's ?, pretty pieces of unaffected domesticity. The mother's ; face is very pleasing ; the child is not so good. 1 No. 35, "The Poacher, a scene on a Highland 1 River," by F. R. Lee, is a beautiful landscape. The lovely calm of the pool of the mountain river must have been poetically felt before it could have been so truthfully painted. 1 Of No. 44, W. Holman Hunt's ° Claudio and Ls- I bells," we have already said somewh at—but not enough. There is not a picture on the walls of the Academy this year which will attract the cultivated and right-seeing eye more powerfully than this. Claudio a exclamation, " Death is a fearful thing," and Isabella's reply, " And shamed life a hateful," are echoed with surprising power in this picture. The compound expressions of the faces and postures of both figures constitute a rare triumph of art. The high moral sorrow—" too deep for tears " or in dignation—of Isabella, set off, as it is, by the vile fear of death in Claudio, is one of the examples—too seldom found in modern times — of art's Wain' g its true and divine destination as the mod powerful of all human persessives to the love of goodness. If there is any fault in this beau tiful work, it is in the drawing of the hands of Isa bella, which seem to us to be too long and large. Nos. 46 and 69, called " Night" and " Morning," ere two noble and highly poetical works, by Sir E. Laadseer. The first represents the battle oftwo s, ,on the shores of a Scotch lake, which is torn sad tossed into spray by a midnight storm, the moon sad the fitful streams of the aurora berealis being diseeried through the veil of a stormy mist. The mountain-tops mix with and partake of the wildness et the atmospheric vapours; and the whole scene is made to sympathise with the actual warfare of the magnificent animals. This picture strikes us more than any other we have seen by . the same artist. " Morning" is a worthy companion-piece. Dawn coldly illuminates the lowlands and the dead-calm lake, and gilds the mountain-tops with tranquil lustre. A few streaks of creeping mist mark the quietness of the air. The lake mirrors the fresh morniog sky and the landscape ; and on the shore lie the two combatants, dead, with their antlers en tangled, a fox cautiously approaching their gored sides, and a bird of prey hovering above them. No. 5T is a fine work by Stanfield , "The Vi c tor y , with the body of Nelson on board, towed into Gib raltar, seven days after the battle of Trafalgar." The literal and vividly toll truth of Stanfield is, in this picture, combined with more of human interest thanes usual with him. It is a grand picture, and we should like to see it in the National Gallery, a position for which its merit and its subject qualify it. No. 66 is a clever portrait of Mr. Cobden, by G. Patten. 77. A prettily conceived little piece, by A. Cooper, called " The Gillie's Courtship." 80. A charming " Mother and Chiid," by C. W. Cope. No. 89. " The Cathedral of St. Step hen, Vienna, by D. Roberts, is one of the artist's best architectural pieces, but his pictures resemble one another so closely in style that there is little scope given by them for cri ticism. 94. " A Little Music," is a clever sketch by J. J. Chalon. 95. "La Vivandiere," by A. C.:oper, is a natural and phasing little work. 113. "A Nile Flower," is a portrait by F. Stone, of a very pretty English girl in an eastern costume and locality. It, by the way, Mr. Stone's beauties looked a little less conscious of their attractions, they would please more than they do. An air of self-consciousness is ruination to true beauty, though we fear that it is an almost necessary element of what is at present the most popular kind of prettiness. No. 116. " A Dame's School," by T. Webster, is a charming work. In simplicity, truth, and force of expression, the figures are as good as Wilkie, though a certain meagreness of colour is a drawback upon the real merit of the work. all I Aberdeen No. 4, 7 par cx Bt. r 1641 Bristol Ss Pieter 4 par Ct. 641 100.061660mM 610 15 ; Is hCbeaur sad Holylaid ~.1 115 51' Oak mad Bawls el all Dundee, Fatly sad Mgr. dam hisolka 34 H IlastAairllan(lll.l4l)op.Ct.

MONEY MARKET. FRIDAY Emurnte. The English funds, to-day, were rather flatter, but there was no material change in prices. Consols opened 1001 to ) for the account of the 12th May, subsequently became 100; "sellers," but finally off at the opening quotation. For cash the closing price was 1001 to f. Money stock continues to he freely supplied, and it would appear that the banks and general holders are disposed to realise to some ex tent at the present high prices, but the market con tinues to be strengthened by speculative purchases for time. In the house, to-day, money was in consider able demand at 2; to 3 per cent. Business generally was very dull throughout the Exchange, and the un- genial weather contributed to assist the prevalent dulness, but the several markets cannot be said to show weakness. The increased ease of the money market tends to stimulate confidence. The govern ment broker made his usual purchase in' Reduced Threes at par, being his concluding opera tion for the week on account of the sinking fund. The official business report is as follows Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 1001, 1,1, 1 ; ditto, for account, loot. Three per Cent. Re duced, 99), 100, 99).

The Exchequer Bill market is rather flat. The current quotation for both the March and June issue is 2s. to 7s. prem. India Bonds mark 375., 355., and 30s. prem. In the foreign bond market there was only a very quiet business, and no distinctive feature calling for especial notice. Mexican Bonds were again flatter. It appears that considerable sensation had been created in Mexico on the announcement of the pro ceedings at tho last meeting of bondholders held in London, at which it transpired that so many members of the Mexican government and congress had been directly bribed to allow the passage of the bill securing the transmission to England of the 2,300,000 dole. of the United States indemnity money, made over to the British bond holders. To allay the excitement Mr. Falconnet, it appears, with great impolicy, had inserted a " card" in the journals denying that any such construction could bo put upon his communications to the Bond holders' committee in London. It seems to us that Mr. Falconnet, in the present position of this most discreditable affair has placed himself on the horns of a dilemma, for if it be true, as he is understood to state at Mexico, that such acts of bribery did not take place, the bondholders are entitled to ask—what then became of the 60,000 dollars, which were cer tainly appropriated to some such service in Mexico ? There is of course no disposition to doubt that the money was actually disbursed in the presumed service of the foreign creditors, but the bondholders are not furnished with statements of aceounts,and considerable dissatisfaction consequently exists on the subject. It is reported that Mr. Fal oonnet may be shortly expected in England. Spanish securities were dull in the morning, and the Certifi cates further receded, but a slight rally took place in the afternoon. Private advices from Madrid con tradict the late statements of the Madrid journals relative to an alleged renewed refusal of the govern ment to recognise these vouchers. Dutch stocks were again rather better. In other securities there was no feature, bat Greek Bonds are less buoyant. At 4 o'clock Mexican Bonds were quoted, 26) to 27. Granada Active, 23 to 24 ; ditto Deferred, ill to 1. Spanish Defe rred, 231 to 24 ; the Certificates, 61 to 61 per cent.

Australian Agricultural shares were rather flatter to-day, closing 83 to 85. British American and South Australian Land were also 11. per share lower. North British Australasian did not fully maintain the rise of yesterday afternoon, closing 1) to It prem. In Australian Bank shares there was no change. Shares of the London and County Bank have been done at 30; Union Bank of London, 171 ; Victoria Docks (41. paid), 6); General Screw Steam Shipping (121. paid), 101; oyal Mail Steam, 75. Shares of the Grand Central Railway , of France closed 2) to 21 I prem.; Grand Trunk Railway of Canada 1 to 1/ prem.; Berlin Waterworks, 3-16 to 5-16 prem. ; Royal Danish Railway, 21 to 3 prem. The transactions in the market for foreign ex changes this afternoon, although limited, yet conti nue to induce a slightly downward tendency in the rates. Paris remains inquired for at 25.021 for short. For Amsterdam there was money at 11.18 to 1. Hamburg was in demand at 13.71 to 8. Leghorn was done at the still lower rate of 29.50 to 60. For Vienna and Trieste there was a fair inquiry at 11.1 to 11.3. Annexed are the latest reports from continental bourses, as received by Mr. Reuter's telegraphic ex press :—Amsterdam, Thursday : Dutch Four per Cents., 941; ditto, Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 63).

The citizens' meeting yesterday to protest against the extension of the income tax to Ireland was, as I anticipated, a miserable failure. Some two hun dred persons assembled on the occasion in the City hall, but among the number there were scarcely half a dozen whose names would be presentable in a plat form list. The Lord Mayor presided, the requisi tion having been addressed to him ; and the speakers were Mr. J. M. Cantwell, solicitor ; Mr. H. Grattan. ex-M.P. ; Mr. Alderman Farrell, and Mr. Alderman John Reynolds. Three or four other members of the Town-council and aldermanic board attended, and than was constituted what would be called the respectability of the meeting. There was no novelty in the eloquence evoked by the proceedings ; and all admit that the demonstration was a " dead failure." DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FOR OSBORNE.— Shortly after one o'clock this day her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the rest of the royal family, accompanied by the lords and laidies in waiting, left Buckingham-palace for Osborne. The royal party occupied three carnage., and proceeded over Vauxhall bridge to the new railway in the Wandsworth-road. THE ROTHERHITHE GUNPOWDER CASE.—THIS DAT.—This morning Messrs. Hale, and also their workman, Boylan, who were committed from Bow-street Office on Thursday last to the Surrey Session , , in want of procuring bail, were brought from liorsemonger-lane Gaol, and on their securities appearing left the office accompanied by their friends. The defendants would have been di s charge d last evening, but unfortunately their bail arrived too late, the magistrate having left Bow-street Office.
