animation of hia face as be sniffs at the led horse on his near side, is very finely painted indeed, but yet scarcely superior to any other pact of the picture. The near hind-leg of the offside grey horse looks a little too long, and has a strained appearance at first sight; but it is quite correct in drawing and propor tion. Upon the whole this picture may be fairly pronounced to be one of the finest animal groups painted in prance or exhibited in this country. bldlle. Rosa Bonheur, the fair artiste, possesses a high reputation in Paris. She has consolidated it in London, and the excitement which her picture has caused among lovers of art is but a jut tribute to her talent. A. brilliant conversazione was held at the gallery on Monday evening, which was attended by many of fbe nobility and artists. g s rmg. WAR-OFFICE, JULY 17.

FRIDAY EVZNINO. THE Consol Market lhas maintained a languid aspect throughout the week. Speculation continues to be very restricted, and prices have drooped slightly, nothing but the abundance of money ap pearing to prevent a more decided fall. As it is, the range of fluctuation has been extremely limited, the extreme prices on either side being 903 and 91. The resignation of Lord John Russell was announced on Saturday last, and produced a temporary depres sion of only a quarter per cent, which was partially recovered before the close of business that day. The market has since been dull, with a marked scarcity of operations either speculative or for actual transfer. An instalment of 15 per cent. on the loan of 16,000,0001. fell payable on Tuesday, but prepara tions had been made for it in advance, and the Money Market consequently maintained a very quiet appearance. It is understood also that a consider able proportion of the next instalment of 10 pe r cent., which falls due on the 21st of August, has already been paid in anticipation. Yesterday Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co. gave notice that they have reduced their rate for money at call from 2f per cent. to 2i. This step, imme diately following the announcement regarding the interest on India Bonds, has tended to increase the feeling of ease in the Money Market. According to statements which have been put forward, the supplemental estimates to be laid before the house will not exceed four millions ster• ling, and, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his Budget, took a margin of three millions sterling, the only necessity imposed on Government will be that of making a further limited ussue of Exchequer Bills. This afternoon the Funds were slightly firmer. At one time there were buyers at 911, but the quotations afterwards relapsed to their former level, 901 91, both for money and the August account. Reduced Three per Cents. were 911; New Three per Cents., 921. India Bonds, 355. prem. Exchequer Bills, 229. to 255. prem, for the June bills, and 19s. to 22s prem. for the March issue. Exchequer Bonds, 1001 to 101. SHARES. Business in Shares has been limited, and prices exhibited much flatness. Some of the heavy Stocks are lower to-day, in consequence of the slight ad vance shown in the returns of traffic as compared with the corresponding week last year. FOREIGN. In the Foreign Market Turkish Stock has again formed the principal object of attention. Dealings in the bonds have been brisk, and the quotation* are well supported. SATURDAY, The new French Loan has been speculatively dealt in at 3s. premium. There is no doubt of the success of the operation; and, although Messrs. Rothschild, Baring, and Devaui have opened lists in London, the chance of any allotment being made to English subscribers is very slight. BRITISH FU, OFFICI SM.—Closing Prices. [AL QUOTATION. Mond.
