MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the past week the progress of business in the various manufacturing districts has exhibited little change of importance. The unsettled state of public affairs both at home and abroad has inter fered very prejudicially with most branches of commercial enterprise. At Leeds the transactions in woollen cloths have been very limited, but in light summer fabrics a fair amount of business has been done, at satisfactory prices. At Bradford the demand for piece goods has not been active, but moderate orders are in hand for the American markets. W ors t e d yarns, suitable to the Continent, are dull, but in most instances the manufacturers and operatives are fairly employed. Business at Manchester has worn a very quiet appearance; goods adapted to the Indian markets, however, were a shade . firmer. No change has taken place in the value of yarns, as the political news from the Continent has checked purchases. A rather active business has been carried on in cotton hosiery at Leicester and Nottingham, but scarcely any animation was apparent in the lace trade. At Birmingham the iron trade continues dull, although some orders have come forward for the United States. In the various fancy trades of the town and neighbourhood there is little change of importance to record. At Sheffield and Wolver hampton some impetus has been given to business by orders from Australia, and the advices from the United States are considered rather more encou raging as regards all descriptions of hardware goods. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with a very dull appearance, and 7,000 bales were sold at barely previous values. In the Railway Share Market business was inactive, and prices declined to a considerable extent. The Asia has been announced this morning from the United States with £59,548 in specie. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon, which leaves to-morrow, the 12th, for Bom bay, will convey £787,143 in silver, and £4,780 in gold, making a total of £791,923, including £347,750 on Government account. The probability of an early advance in the Bank rate of discount is now a subject of conversation m Monetary circles. During the last few weeks a decided alteration has been exhibited in the general symptoms of the market, and as there is every prospect of an important absorption for loans, besides an adverse specie movement, some modifi cation of the existing regulations is naturally anti cipated. Already the 2-.1 per cent. minimum has been in force longer than many experienced persons expected; but this, perhaps, is explained by the stow revival of trade, and the discourage ment given last year to new speculative enterprises of every description. Latterly, however, several extensive projects have been brought forward with success, including financial operations on behalf of foreign States, and the Indian Goverement and railways. These transactions, combined with the Increasing requirements of commerce, have sufficed to induce an upward tendency in the rates charged for negotiating mercantile paper, and as fresh channels are now being opened for the employment of capital, diminished easiness is extremely pro bable. A moderate amount of business has been reported in the English Stock Market to-day, but the de cline noticed on Saturday has been arrested, and more firmness has been occasioned by a few specu lative purchases. After such an important and sudden reduction an upward tendency might have bee n expected, but only a few dealings are recorded, the operators being in a state of suspense until further intelligence is re ceived from the other side of the Channel. Consols have been marked 941 for money and account, but the market is very variable, and, after touching 94!, they are now 941, buyers. The New Threes have :ranged from 93! to 93, and the Reduced from 93: to 93- a . The New 21 per Cents. re raained steady a t 79. Exchequer . Bills are 335. to 365, prem. India Bonds 10s. to 12s. prem., and the Debentures 97/ 1. In the Foreign Stock Market the transactions have extended to very few securities. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 861 87/ ex dividend ; and the present pri ce i s 87 to ex dividend ; the New 6 per Cents. have been 751 761, and 76 to 761 ; and the 4 per Cents, are 102/ 1021 ; R ussian 4i per Cents, are 99/ ; Spanish D eferred, 30 ; Mexican, 209 ; and Dutch 4 Der Cents., 98;1. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have bee n rather extensive, but a further depression of about -} to 1 per cent. has been recorded in the values of most of the principal lines. Lancashire and Yorkshire, South Western, North Midland, a n d N or th E as t ern (Berwick Western, ), have de , elined 10s. ; Caledonian, Eastern Counties, and North British, lts., and South Eastern, £l. The Market, however, is now rather firmer. The Foreign lines have exhibited little varia tion of importance. Lombardo-Venetian have declined about ss. In the Colonial Market business has been flat. Grand Trunk of Canada have receded £1 to £1 10s.; and Great Western of Canada, ss. ; Great Indian Peninsula and East Indian are also at reduced quo tations. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares show a downward tendency. London and Westminster are at 49 ; 1 ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam at 81 ; and Red Sea Telegraph at 108. HALF-PAST TW 0. The Funds have improved about I per cent., C onsols being 96/. An improved feeling is appa rent in all departments of the Stock Exchange, . c r ,hiefly in co nsequence o f a ra ll y on the Par i s siourse.

FATAL ACCIDENTS.—On Saturday Mr. Thomas Rapley, watchmaker, of Chelsea, was in the act of crossing the plank leading from the sailing barge at Fulham to the Waterman's Stairs, when he missed his footing, and falling into the river, was drowned before any one could reach him. The body was got out quite dead, and removed to the Ful ham dead-house. A quantity of valuable property was found on his person.—On the same afternoon a respectably dressed man who walked with a crutch, was passing through High-street, Poplar, when two lads, who .were racing after each other, ran violently against him. The unfortunate man was thrown under the wheels of a heavily laden wagon, which passed over him. He was taken to Poplar Hospital, when he was found to be dead. From documents found on deceased's person his name is supposed to be Davis. A DESPERATE LEAP.—On Saturday a young girl, named Mary Taylor, residing with her parents in Great Wild-street, Drury-lane, who, in order to keep her out of the company of some improper acquaintances, had been locked in a back room on the second door by her mother, who had occasion to leave the house, and failing to force the door, leaped from th e w i n d ow on to the stone yard be low, fracturing both, er legs, and sustaining other fearful injuries. She was taken to King's College Hospital, where she lies without hope of recovery. CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CHEST, VICTORIA-PARK.—The number of patients relieved at this institution during last week was 1,192 r of which 209 were new cases. CORN EXCHANGE. There Was a moderate inquiry for good and fine samr des of wheat in the leading country markets held on Saturda but other kinds met a dull sale on former terms. Barb for the most part, though in short supply, was heavy, a nd drooping in price. Other kinds of spring corn were di dl, but not cheaper. The flour trade was in a sluggish stn ite. Throughout the Continent wheat has been held w ith more firmness. In prices, however, very little change has taken place. Other kinds of produce have been less activ e. Lower rates for both wheat and flour have come to hand from the United States. Up to our market last week the arrivals of home-grown produce were only moderate. From abroad, we received 4,326 quarters of wheat, 14,318 barley, 14,471 oats, 13 beans, 23 peas, 694 tares, 6,036 linseed, 9,349 rapeseed, 1,965 sundry seeds, 834 sacks, and 12 barrels of flour. The quantity of wheat received fresh up to-day from Essex was very moderate, but its general condition - was good. From Kent the receipts were by no means extensive. Owing to the warlike rumours afloat, factors generally were very firm in their demands, but the trade was by no means active. However, there were buyers of good sound wheat, and, in most instances, prices were Is to 2s per quarter higher than on Monday last. We were less extensively supplied with foreign wheat than for some time past. Importers were very firm, and most of them refused to sell except at is to 2s per quarter more money. However the business done was rather limited, at fully late rates. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little attention. Owing to continued large imports from abroad barley was very dull, and is to 2s per quarter lower than on Monday se'nnight. There was very little passing in malt, at the late decline in value. There was a good consumptive demand for oats, and prices had an upward tendency. The show of beans was limited, nevertheless, most quali ties moved off slowly, at late rates. In peas very little was passing, at last week's currency. The flour trade was far from active. Millers, however, were firm, and prices were well supported. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The supply of foreign sheep in to-day's market was chiefly composed of merinos shipped at Hamburg. The show of beasts and calves was very good. About an average number of beasts was recei ve d f res h up this morning from our own grazing districts, and the general quality of the stock was good, especially as relates to the crosses, which were in strong force in a comparative sense. The attendance of butchers was far from numerous, and the beef trade was in a sluggish state 'at, in some in stances, a slight decline in value when compared with Monday last. The general top figure for beef was 4s. 10d. per 8 lbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,000 Scots, shorthorns and crosses; from other parts of England, 300 of various kinds ; from Scotland, 350 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 150 oxen and heifers. Some of the latter were very prime. With sheep we were fairly supplied both as to number and quality. There was a considerable improvemant in the mutton trade when compared with Thursday last, and prices ruled much the same as on this day se'nuight. The best Downs, in the wool, sold at ss. 10d., out of the wool, ss. 2d. per 8 lbs. About 15,000 sheep were shorn. Lambs—the show of which was moderate--were in fair request at full quotations, viz., ss. 4d. to 6s. Bd. per 8 lbs. From the bill of freight, 260 head came fresh to hand. There was a good sale for calves at full quotations. The supply was limited. The pork trade was heavy at last week's currency. Per 81bs. to sink the offal. s. d. a. d.

There is still a steady, though not to say active, demand for all new hops, and prices are well supported. Yearlings are steady; but old hops rule very inactive.

The imports have beep confined to 48 tons from Dieppe, 50 tons from Dorcum, and 30 tons from Harlingen. Good and fine samples move off freely, and prices have an upward tendency ; but other kinds are a slow sale, at late rates.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. The judge will sit in this court at Westminster on Wed. nesday, 13th April, at 12 o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY. • 130 W-STREET. A boy, named James Murphy, a vender of water-cresses, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine charged with robbery. Mary Osborn, a domestic servant to Mr. Pocock, of 20, Gower-street, stated that of late she had employed the boy to run for a few trifling errands, and amongst the places to which he had been sent was Mr. Lathers', a butcher in Store-street. He had been sent there when either chops or steaks were required, and he always was directed to return with the meat as ordered. Mr. Lathers saw the prisoner on Saturday evening in his shop as usual for two pound of rump-steak and four mutton chops for Mr. • Pocock. As it had previously been discovered he had been trading on his own account, he was given into custody. The prisoner had twice, previous to the present occasion, been to the shop and ordered and received a quantity of rump steak and mut ton chops for Mr. Pocock, without having any authority to do so. The Magistrate asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge ? The prisoner said he had had the grub, as ho was hungry. Magistrate—But you were not sent for it ? Prisoner--No; I know that. Magistrate--I must commit you for trial. Committed accordingly. MARLBOROUGH• STREET. ROBBERY AT THE " HOME FOR MOTHERLESS GIRLS." —Elizabeth M'Donald, servant, was charged with stealing at 2, King-street, Grosvenor-square, at various times, the sum of £l5, the moneys of the trustees of the institution called the Home for Motherless Girls. Miss Isabella Elizabeth Glennie, the superintendent of the Home, said the prisoner had been employed by her since November last as cook at thellome, and that since January last she had been continually losing sums of money from a drawer in the library table in the office, which she always carefully locked, but frequently had found open. On mak ing up her accounts on the 16th of March she missed £2 10s., and on the 28th she put a £5 note and other money in the drawer, locking the drawer as usual. On the Ist of April the prisoner absconded from the Home, and the next day, on examining the drawer, she missed from it the £5 note and other moneys, altogether about £7 10s. She gave notice to the bank, and informed the police. She heard nothing of the prisoner till Saturday last, when she came to the Home, and on witness:asking what sho had to say as to her conduct, she at first denied having stolen the money, but afterwards confessed she had taken it, and had changed the £5 note in Tottenham -court .road. There were no wages owing to the prisoner, and she believed she had no money of her own, but she had ascertained that the pri soner had been since visiting theatres and riding about in cabs with a companion, spending about 10s. a-day. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said she was told if she acknowledged taking the money she should not be punished. Miss Glennie said she distinctly told the prisoner she would forgive her for what she had taken from her, but the money being that of others, she could not do so as far as that was concerned. The prisoner was then remanded. THE BALLOT. (From the Examiner.) We are amongst the oldest advocates of the ballot. We have laboured for itin season and out of season, and when any one who raised a voice in its favour was scouted and run down as a "low Radical." We Mold secret voting to be essential to the freedom of election and the true representation of the people, but we deprecate making the ballot a shibboleth, and proscribing all candidates who are opposed to it, or who hesitate to adopt it, as is proposed by the committee of the Ballot Society. We cannot afford this exclusiveness. We are not yet strong enough to be able to turn away all who do not agree with us upon all the articles of the reform creed. Our circumstances counsel toleration. With the option of 'a reformer for the ballot, and one sound upon all points except the ballot, we should of course prefer the former ; but where there is no such choice, let us take the best man we can 'et, compounding for his shortcomings upon one point. But let us put another and not unfrequent case. suppose there are two Liberal candidates in the field against a Tory, one for the ballot, but with no chance of carrying his election, the other moderate reformer not prepared to accept the ballot, who will succeed if the Liberal votes are united in his favour. Would it be wise and politic to throw away the suffrage on the man who had no chance of success, and to let in an out-and-out anti-reformer ? All other things equal, choose a ballot man, otherwise take the candidate who will give his support to reform, though not to secret voting. Lord John Russell has, as a reformer, the one deficiency of not being for the ballot, but wanting in this single respect, would he not, in the judgment of all rea sonable men, carry overwhelming weight against any Liberal candidate who could be put into com petition with him ? The Ballot Society has ren dered excellent service, but let it beware of straining its demands too much in this approaching struggle, and losing the substance while snatching at a shadow. All dissolutions advance the popular party, and it is quite certain that the coming gene ral election will greatly increase the numbers in support of the ballot, perhaps even to the extent of a majority, without any rule of prescription. SIR E. BULIVER LYTTON. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton's address to his con stituents will be found below. It will be seen from this document that it had been the intention of the Colonial Secretary, on account of the state of his health, to retire for a time from public life. Several of the most important of his constituents, however, having come forward spontaneously to beg him once more to present himself as a caididate for the county, promising at the same time to re lieve him from the canvass and other fatigues of an election, Sir Edward Lytton has consented to be placed in nomination and to try 'whether a tem porary repose at Malvern may not restore his health sufficiently to enable him to retain his seat : " TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF HERTFORD. " Gentlemen,—At this moment lam suffering in health. For that reason I had intended to resign the seat in Par liament I owe to your favour, feeling unequal to the fatigues of a canvass and fearing that they would incapaci tate me for the discharge of my duties towards you if re elected. " I have been, however, urged by many among you whose names carry weight with all parties and ranks in our county, and with a warmth of sympathy and kindness which any sacrifice on my part could but scantly repay, once more to place my services at your disposal. " They assure me of your indulgence if I am compelled to take such repose as I can obtain between the expiration of this and the meeting of the next Parliament, and if I am therefore unable to wait on you in person. " Under these circumstance I leave it to you to decide whether you will renew the trust with which you have thrice honoured me, and which, if permitted by Providence to recover the health and strength which now fail me; I shall continue to task every effort to deserve. " I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your obliged and faithful servant, " E. BULWEIt LYTTON. " Park-lane, April 9, 1859." TAUNT° IV BALLOT SOCIETY AND MR. LABOUCHERE. At a meeting of the above-named Society, held at the Phoenix Inn, Taunton, on Thursday, the 31st March, William B ea d on , ]sq., in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : ".Resolved,—That the prompt and courteous reply of the Right lion. H. Labouchere to the memorial of 287 registered electors, urging him to support the Ballot, be and is hereby acknowledged, reciprocating his expressions of regret at a wide difference of opinion on an all-important question. " That as Mr. Labouchere reasonably declines to argue the Ballot within the limits of a single letter, he be invited to a calm discussion of its merits. " That as at present informed, we believe free dom of election (without which the great principle of representation is clearly a nullity) can only be secured by secret voting, and that no other mode of protecting the honest voter has been suggested or can be found. _ _ "That Mr. Labouchere's reply, although written in opposition to the Ballot, furnishes abundant evidence of its necessity. " That the fact stated by Mr. Labouchere that "as a landowner" he has always " left his tenants as free in use of their elective franchise as he is. himself," implies that his non-interference is optional and accidental, and shows the existence of a power over the minds of others With which no man can be safely trusted in a free, representative country. " That the intimation contained in Mr. Labou chere's letter that he is uninfluenced by selfish motives in his opposition to the Ballot—because, as he is informed, and he believes truly,' its adop tion would increase the number of his supporters— is an acknowledgment that many who are desirous of supporting him dare not do so under a system of open voting. " That, being of opinion that the Ballot is the only practical means for the effectual removal of evils so great and so humiliating, it does out weigh' all other considerations with us ; and we further believe that any Reform Bill which extends the franchise without protection to the voter will tend to the increase of political tyranny, and is therefore not to be desired. " That while we fully admit the force of Mr. Labouchere's statement that it would be unworthy of him to vote contrary to his convictions, we feel it would be equally so on the part of the electors ; and that it would not be treating Mr. Labouchere with the frankness and candour which he solicits were we to refrain from saying that very many of his old and tried supporters will not be prepared again to vote for him, or any other candidate whose opinions are opposed to the Ballot question, on which Mr. Labouchere was for many years neutral. " That, upon the question of general coincidence of opinion, we cannot forget what occurred at the last general election, when Mr. Labouchere's speeches and the conduct of some of his leading supporters had the effect of damaging the Liberal candidate (the Hon. W. F. Campbell), and of giving confidence and support to his Tory opponent. " That we are of opinion that, under present circumstances, nothing less than a large reliance on what is called the Tory party in this borough would admit of a favourable reply being given to Mr. Labouchere's appeal to the majority of his constituents, as given in his letter. Lastly, that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the Right Hon. H. Labouchere." By order of the Ballot Committee. ARRIVAL OF THE P.E.RA. The Pera arrived at Southampton on Saturday with the heavy portion of the Australian and Bom bay mails. Her dates were—Alexandria, March 29 ; Malta, April 1 ; and Gibraltar 5. She made the passage from Alexandria to Southampton, a dis tance of 3,000 miles, in ten days,l9 hours, including stoppages at Malta and Gibraltar. Her voyage was so quickly made from Malta that the postmaster and his assistants on board had great difficulty in sort ing the mail before arriving at Southampton. The Pera has brought home nearly 200 passengers, among whom aro Indian officers and officials, Par sees, Australian nabobs, and a large number of ladies and children. The Pera having to bring home the first Australian mail under the new contract, some fears were felt that she would not arrive at Southampton in due course on account of the complicated mail service that had to be performed. Three ships had to leave three separate points, viz., New South Wales, Bombay, and Southampton, on two given days, Feb. 12 and March 12. One ship had to run 8,900 miles and the other two 3,000 miles each, and all three of the ships had to arrive as nearly as possible at the same spot at one time. The Southampton steamer reached Alexandria, and the Bombay and New South Wales steamers reached Suez, within a few hours of one another. This remarkable punctuality enabled the Pera to bring home her mails within her contract time. The Pera experienced on her homeward passage fine weather in the Mediterranean ; strong south-west gales, thick weather, and a heavy sea across the bay ; and strong westerly gales with clear weather up the Channel. Her Majesty's ships Marlborough, Con queror, Centurion, Princess Royal, Hibernia, Vul ture, Medina, Argus, Recruit, and Boxer, a Russian three-decker, and a Turkish frigate with troops for Tunis, were at Malta. The Victor Emanuel, Orion, Leopard, and Gannet, a Russian screw three-decker, and the French steam sloop Coligny, were at Gib raltar. From Egypt we learn that the Bedouin Arabs had opposed the staking out of the Suez Canal, and were giving much trouble to M. Lesseps, the French engineer. STEAM-SHIP COLLISION.—The particulars of a disastrous collision between two steamers, which resulted in the sinking of one of the vessels, were received on Saturday at Lloyd's. The General Steam Navigation Company's steamer Bruiser, with passengers and a general cargo, from London, was proceeding up the Tyne on Thursday evening, and when near a sharp angle in the river, some two miles from Newcastle, the Britannia steamer, for Leith, was ob served coming down. Owing to the state of the tide, and the position of a sand-bank which extends some distance into the channel, the ships apparently were unable to clear each other, and the Bruiser struck the bow of the Britannia with considerable force, and such was thifrcharacter of the injury that her fore compartment speedily began to fill with water, and she gradually settled down. The passengers and crew, however, had an ample opportunity to escape. The Bruiser sustained but trifling damage, and proceeded to Newcastle quay. Attempts are being made to raise the Britannia. . HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST, BRomr•roN.—The Rev. Dr. Goulbourn preached yesterday morning, at Quebec Chapel, Portman square, in aid of the funds of this valuable institution. In the course of his very able discourse, the rev, gentleman eloquently described the nature of consumption, stating that it produced not less than one-eighth of the mortality of the metropolis • and observed that among the institutions esta blished in this country for the alleviation of human misery the Brompton Hospital held a most distinguished position. Many a poor seamstress, in whose home perhaps the seeds of consumption had been sown by over-toil in a vitiated at mosphere, poor soldiers affected by ill- ven tilated barracks, n or perhaps from bard service in the Crimean war, had l founroan d a home and relief in this hospital. The rev. gee brought his address to a close by stating th a t no l ess t than 171 patients were now waiting for admission. At the close of the service the sum of Xll6 10s. 10d. was collected. EXCITING SCENE AT THE ALHAMBRA PALACE.— On Saturday, during the afternoon performances at the Al hambra Palace, an accident occurred which, by the pre sence of mind of one of the performers, was happily unat tended with injury to any person. Mr. Runnell and his family of three children (boys, aged respectively fifteen, eleven, and six) perform in a scene on horseback, entitled " Sprites of the Silver Shower." During one of th e i r various dangerous poses, the youngest child, almost an in fant, was balancing himself on his father's head, the other two were suspending from the loins, when, to the horror of all present, one of the horses (tvo:are engaged) s li pped, and the whole party came to the ground amid the shrieks of terror-stricken women and excited men. The youngest child fell on its feet, but the second on his shoulder. Mr. Runnell recovered his feet, and seized the children, who, by their smiles, indicated that they were unhurt, and the scene was finished amidst mingled applause and marks of disapprobation that the horses were again mounted. TILE ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION. We are able to gratify public curiosity with re spect to some of the pictures which will appear in the approaching Exhibition of the Royal Academy. Mr. Grant, R.A., send; an admirable full-length port rait of the Earl of Derby addressing the House of Peers. Mr. Herbert, R.A., sends a fine picture of the Sister of Lazarus going early to the tomb of our Saviour with spices and myrrh. In this work great attention has been paid to the correctness of the costume, which is beautifully painted, while the expression of the head is full of pathos. Mr. Millais, A.R.A., contributes two pictures, one, a Nun diggi ng a grave , an d t h e ot h er a very elaborate picture of an Apple Orchard in full bloom, with many figures of young females in the foreground. Mr. Dobson, also, has two pictures ; the first repre sents David teaching the youth of Israel the use of the bow ; the second is an exquisite head of a young girl, telling her beads. Both these works sustain the artist's high reputation. Mr. Thomas Brooks sends one of his best productions, entitled " Scrip ture Consolation," which represents a clergyman reading the Bible to two young orphan women, one of whom, as her appearance indicates, will soon be " where the weary are at rest." From Mr. Solomon we have a fine work, " The Acquittal," intended as a companion picture to his " Waiting for the Ver dict," and destined, we think, to obtain even greater popularity than that did. Sir Edwin Landseer, we are glad to say, will adorn the exhibition with four pictures equal to his former works. One is a grand picture, 12 feet long, of a stag pursued by dogs in water. This work is remarkable for a beautiful effect of rough lake water, and a charming repre sentation of a rainbow. The animals are full of character. The second picture is a poor dog waiting for the crumbs from the rich dog's table ; here a terrier is depicted waiting patiently for the frag ment of a beef bone, the remnant of a repast which a fine mastiff has been regaling himself with. Sir Edwin's third work is a charming picture, painted for her Majesty, of a Scotch Lassie leading a white calf over a stream ; and his fourth derives its name from part of a line of one of Monre's immortal songs, being entitled "My own stricken deer." This is a beautiful work, full of poetic feeling ; in a starlight scene a spirit of the air is observed lament ing over the poor deer. From Mr. Thomas Faed we have the most important work which has pro ceeded from the artist's Audio, entitled " A Sun day in the backwoods of Canada ;" the sub ject is a family group listening to the reading of the Scriptures, and the picture is painted for Mr. Holdsworth. There are three pictures by Mr. W. Stone, A.R.A.; one of these represent a boy accom panying his father for the first time in a night's fishing at sea; the anxiety of the mother and the considerate attention of the sisters are ably depicted and the finish of the work isTemarkable. Mr. Stone's second picture bears the title of " Too Late," and the subject is a proposal of marriage to a young Boulougne fish woman, who has accepted a previous offer. The third picture, " Broken Friendship," is the result of two females discovering that thev both admire the same " nice young man." Mr. - Frith sends only one picture, and, strange to say, it is a portrait—that of Mr. Charles Dickens. Mr. F. Wyburd is likely to increase his reputation by the picture which he has sent to the Academy this year; it is a scene from " Undine." Mr. F. Goodall sends an Italian scene, which was not finished in time for last year's'exhibition. Mr. O'Neil sends a companion picture to his last year's " Eastward, Ho !" entitled " The Return." Mr. A. Egg's picture is Cromwell invoking assistance from the Lord before the Battle of Naseby ;itis a moonlight scene. Mr. J. Philip's is a Spanish picture, a lovers' quarrel. Mr. Hook . has four capital Coast scenes: Mr. Sidney Cooper has three pictures ; and Mr. Cook four.—Ths Bulletin. WILLS OF PERSONS RECENTLY DECEASED.

THE REPAVING OF REGENT-STREET. —At a spe cial meeting of the vestry of St. James's W e stminster, on Saturday, the subject of the repaving of James's, was brought forward. The Rev. J. E. Kempe, the rector of the parish, presided. Mr. Crane, ex-churchwarden, moved the adoption of the report of the paving committee, an abstract of which has already appeared in our columns. The moti on was seconded by Mr. Medwin. An amendment was, how ever, moved by Mr. Duff, to the effect that the report be re ferred back to the committee for information as to the con-' tract. The road, he said, was an utter failure, and it ap peared from the report that some £4,000 or £ 5,000 had been spent to benefit chron ometer makers a nd photographers th e amendment having been seconded, considerable discus sion ensued, in which the Hon. Fred. Byng, Mr. Downes, Mr. Chinnock, Mr. Sandford, Mr. Beal, and others took part. At the suggestion of the rector, Mr. Duff ultimately withdrew his amendment, and a middle course was adopted, namely, that the vestry, looking up on th e pav i ng o f Re gent-street as an experiment, approves the report of the committee as to the amount of care devoted to the work specially committed to them. A resolution to this effect being carried, it was arranged that the committee should at once proceed with the repairing of the new roadway, and committee that the sum of £2,000 s h ou ld b e trans f erre d to t h em f rom the works LA Rm mm G A ittececlaDt ACCIDENT.—On Saturday nextmeetingo m f the vestry. oirAin; the inhabitants of Nelson-street,' Greenwich, were corm-. derably excited, owing to the sudden embedment in the roadway of the wheels of Bray's traction steam-engine, of five tons weight, which was proceeding from Penn's factory with a main shaft, weighing 22 tons 8 cwt., belonging to the ship Howe, lying in Woolwich Dockyard. It appears that the engine was steaming up the road at the rate of about three miles an hour, when, in order to avoid some newly put down macadamised stones, it was turned towards the kerb, but that part of the road being ever some cellars attached to the houses, it is supposed the roadway, being weakened by the ponderous weight upon it, suddenly gave way, exciting the highest fears that something fearful would be the result. The traffic on that side-the road was at once stopped, and a large crowd assembled, requiring the exer tions of Inspectors Mott and Ellis and several polies officers to keep them clear from probable personal injury labouring men of extrication was going on. A number of _1 powerful men were immediately obtained, and, by means of steam power, e the jacks and iron levers and plates, with h the delay the_ sound earth, without any further accident, they fortunately succeeded in raising th e e av i?T r iaanse weight delay being little over an hour.
