416., OfOl!'DY 11IA RnE T AND CITY N EMS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the past week the progress of business in the various manufacturing districts has exhibited little improvement, the unsettled state of political affairs on the Continent, and the excitement conse quent upon a general election at home, having in a great measure interfered with the usual course of trade. At Bradford there has been a general slackness in most departments, and in worsted yarns and piece goods the dealings havebeen confined to a few orders for home use. The spinners and manufacturers, however, are fairly employed upon contract orders. No change can be reported in the woollen cloth trade at Leeds. Upon the whole a very quiet tone prevailed both in the warehouses and in the cloth-halls, and trade generally is suspended, except for immediate wants. At Huddersfield there had only been a few buyers in the market, chiefly for light fabrics ; prices, however, were steady,:aiad the manufacturers in the district were, in most instances, working full time. The hosiery trade a t Leicester continues active, and prices are well n 3aintained both in the cotton and worsted departmonts. At Manchester all descriptions of cloths hare. been very inactive. Prices of India goods have be en firm, holders show ing no disposition to give way. The iron trade of South Staffordshire continues inactive, with little change in prices; rather more bitsiness, however, has been transacted in railway iron, some large con tract:3 for most of the principal lines being in the marlcet. Among the general trades of Birmingham there is little activity; and, in, some branches, owing to the season of the year, the operatives are out of employment At Sheffield and Wolver hampton a slight improvement can be noticed in the general hardware trades of the districts, and rather more activity has prevailed:4 n goods for the American markets. Several heavy payments recently effected in connection with loans and railway capital, have supported the general demand for money, and the market during the last few days has received a decided stimulus from an instalmeiat of £250,000 on the new shares of the East! India Railway Company, and the preparations for the new East Indian loan of £7,000,000. Previous rates are consequently charged for — iiieommodation, namely, 2-1- per cent. for bills of the highest class, and there is an upward tendency. Most persons seem to anticipate higher quotations as the inevitable . , cc:nsequence of the large sums absorbed through various channels, which have already diminished the plethora gene rally experienced throughout last year. Acting upon this opinion, bankers and brokers are disposed to increase their terms, arid it would not create much surprise if the Bank Court should carry the Minimum to 3 per cent. before many weeks have elapsed. Failures are now comparatively of rare occurrence, •and although at intervals .a few are recorded they are seldom of magnitude. It transpired on Satur day that Messrs. White and Co., bankers and East India army agents, of the Haymarket, were in difficulties, but their liabilities, it is estimated, will not exceed £40,000, In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a very moderate business was transacted, and 5,000 bales were sold at previous values. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices were un altered. About £44,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England on Saturday. The steamer Parana, which leaves to-day for the West Indies, will convey £4,500, nearly the whole of which is silver. To-day a call of £2 10s. per share, or £50,000, becOmes due on the East Kent Railway. SYmPto r piB of depression have been exhibited in the mar k et for Public Securities to-day, chiefly in e°9s equeTleo . of •the impending explanations with regard to• the state of continental politics. No posi tive opinion can be formed of the probable character of the i rsformation which the Government may be able t 9 . fJ;:l§ish . , and purchases have been almost sus pendid: Under these circumstances a few sales have been sufficient to produce heaviness, and Con 9911ihave receded about I per cent., viz., to 941 I fop money and account. The present quotations, laieVer, are 941 and 94i, buyers respectively, ileing firmer. The New 3 per Cents. and the Re duced Annuities are 93a 8 ; India Debentures are 961-, 97 ; and Exchequer Bills, 335. to 345. prem. A very small amount of business has been re corded in the, Foreign Market, and the quotations, though flatter, show very little alteration. Turkish 6 per cents. have been 861 87, and the New issue 761 77. Transnctions are recorded in Spanish 3 per cents. Deferred at 301- 1, in Sardinian 5 pei cents. at 77 to 78, in Venezuelan 5 per cents. at 41, in Mexican at 201, in Peruvian 41 per cents. at 90, in Milian 6 per cents. at 102, and in Buenos Ayres at 80. On the Ist proximo the dividend is due on the 5 per cent. Austrian Bonds, and on Belgian 4-3. per cents. In the Railway Share Market prices have shown a downward tendency. Caledonian, Eastern Coun ties, Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Western, and North British and Brighton h ave declined 55. ; and E as t L ancas hi re an d S out h - ;astern, 10s. ; Great Western and Midland have i mproved se. The Foreign lines are very inactive, and Lora horde -Venetian show a further depression. The Old Shares are dealt in at 8k 81, and the New at 8 a nd 81 ; Antwerp and Rotterdam realised 41; and Pernambuco, 71. In the Colonial Market there has been rather more business. Grand Trunk of Canada have ad vanced ss. ; Great Western of Canada, ss. ; and East Indian, ss. Joint Stock Bank shares are flat.

CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were firm for wheat, at full prices, at a slight advance. There was less activity in the sale for barley ; but oats, beans, and peas were in fair request, at full prices. Flour changed hands slowly, yet prices were well supported. Nearly the whole of the Continental Markets have been firm for wheat, and, in some instances, prices have shown a tendency to advance. Most kinds of Spring corn have moved off steadily, at full prices. In the United States, the transactions in produce have been on a limited scale. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad, we received 9812 qrs. of wheat, 14,695 barley, 24,640 oats, 106 rye, 1,807 beans, 680 peas, 30 tares, 18,510 linseed, 19,015 oilseed, 7 mustard, 900 sundry seeds, and 2,342 sacks of fl our. Both from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land car riage, the arrivals of wheat fresh up this morning were very moderate, and, as the whole of the supply received last week was cleared off on Friday, the show of samples was small. Red qualities were in request for export to Portugal, about 250 quarters having been taken for that destination, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter. White samples were steady, and prices were quite is per quarter higher than on that day. There was a fair average quantity of foreign wheat on the stands. The amount of business doing in all kinds was very moderate; but most of the importers refused to sell, except is to 2s per quarter more money. Floating cargoes of grain were firm, but not dearer. Owing to the change in the weather malting barley was in improved request, at very full prices. Grinding and dis tilling sorts moved off steadily, at extreme rates. There was very little doing in malt, at the late decline in value. Oats, though in full average supply, moved off steadily, at full quotations. We had a good demand for beans, and prices advanced Is per quarter. In peas very little was passing, at late rates. -The flour trade was firm, and, in some instances, prices had an upward tendency.

Com pared with Monday last, the total supply of beasts on offer this morning was limited, and its general quality was very middling. The attendance of butchers was good, and all kinds of breeds of beasts sold somewhat briskly, at an ad vance in the quotations, compared with this day se'nnight, of fully 2d per 81bs. The general top price was ss, but some superior Scots produced 5s 2d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,600 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 850 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 200 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 90 oxen an d heifers. With most breeds of sheep we were fairly s u ppli e d. Th e mutton trade was firm, and, in some instances, prices were the turn higher than on Monday last—the best old downs having sold at 6s per 81bs. We had a steady demand for lambs—the supply of which was moderate—at from 5s 6d to 7s per 81bs. I The latter price, however, must be considered an extreme quotation. About 250 lambs came to hand from the Isle of Wight. There was a good demand for calves, and prices had an upward tendency. The supply was limited. Pigs commanded very little attention, yet prices were firm. B. d. a. d. 6 05 6 86 0 4 0410 ,5 0510 3 03 6 3 84 2 Per Blbs. to sink the offal. a. d. e. d.

His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said this is a claim ' filed by one of the members of a benefit building society called the British Building and Deposit Company, and he asks to be given up to him the mortgage title-deeds of his property. It appeared by the 21st rule of the society that first-class members, of whom the plaintiff was one, were bound to pay 10s. per month, and at the end of 13 years they became entitled to receive £336. In 1845 plaintiff mortgaged his property in Charlotte-street, and received in advance £lOO. Plaintiff paid up his calls and fines for 13 years, and now claimed the mortgage-deed over his pro perty to be delivered up to him. The society resisted the claim on the ground that by the regulations the society was not to be dissolved until the funds of the society were able to pay £l5O to each second-class member, that the funds of the society were not yet able to pay this sum to each mem ber of the society, and the plaintiff was bound to continue a member until the funds enabled each member to receive £l5O, and that they were entitled to retain the mortgage indenture granted by him until the society's funds were able to pay this sum. In referring to the case of this society before the Court of Exchequer, and the opinion of Mr. Baron Mitrtin in that case, he came to the conclusion that the plaintiff was entitled to have his mortgage deed deli vered up to him at the end of 13 years, and to the sum then due to him as a member, reserving to the society any action at law they might have against him, in default of future payments or calls upon him, as a member of the society, until each member was able to obtain £l5O, in terms of the rules of the society, and decreed accordingly, with costs up to the hearing, with liberty to apply. Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., and Mr. Lloyd, Q.C., appeared in the cause. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir Cresswell Cresswell.) HUITSON V. HUITSON. This was a petition for divorce by the wife against the husband,. a banker's clerk, No. 1, Great Cambridge-street, Hackney-road, for adultery. The evidence went to prove the separation. The case was undefended. His Honour decreed a judicial separation. BROWN V. BROWN. This was a petition by the wife for separation from her husband on the ground of cruelty. The evidence proved the cruelty of the husband by striking his wife and pawn ing his children's clothes. His Honour granted a judicial separation. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE P. FOLKARD. The bankrupt was described as of East Beryholt, Suffolk, builder, and to-day came up to pass his last examination. The balance-sheet, by Messrs. Hart Brothers, commences Jan., 1858, with a surplus of £6,518, and the bankrupts now owe to unsecured creditors, £2,520; dittolholding security, 4744. Creditor, by good debts, £204; doubtful, £2,890 lls. Bd. ; bad, carried to losses, £4,492 ; property; £395; ditto held by creditors, £5,415; expenses, £419; losses, £4,851. Mr. Pennell, the official assignee, said that the accounts were satisfactory, and the bankrupt passed without opposi tion, and an allowance was mad/to him, as there will be a surplus from the property held by creditors. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before tha Common Sergeant.) IMPORTANT TO THE SHIPPING INTEREST.-:WALKER V. WESTBROOK Plaintiff is a labourer, and defendant is a stevedore. Plaintiff sought to recover 3s. for nine hours' work on board a vessel, he having been employed by defendant. The de fence was that plaintiff and some of his companions had pillaged some cases of wine in the ship's hold, and had left work without being discharged. A claim had been made for the loss on the owner of the ship. Plaintiff complained that such charges were made, and that no steps had been taken to connect him with them. • His Honour made an order upon defendant, telling that person he could not set off the loss against wages. Verdict for plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE AGAINST A TRADESMAN OF DANGEROUS DRlVlNG.—Charles Robinson, an upholsterer, at Hackney, was charged with furiously driving a horse and Cart, being drunk at the time, and endangering passengers. From the evidence of Tarrant, 299 A, 'it appeared that about ten on Saturday night the defendant was galloping his horse along Coventry-street at the rate of nino miles an hour, till at length he came in collision with a cab, knock ing the driver off the box, and had anything been passing at the time the driver must certainly have had his life in jeopardy. He was drunk at the time. Defendant said it was a " moral impossibility" he could have gone at that rate; it was only about two miles. 150 C said the defendant was going between eight and nine miles an hour. The cabman was knocked off his seat like a ball. He assisted the cabman up, but he said he did not then feel much hurt. The defendant was very violent. The defendant said he was not drunk, and Inspector Steel, who took the charge, was sent for, and proved that he was. On asking the defendant's son, a young boy, some ques tions, he said his father had been drinkingat Knights bridge, and he could not get him home. The defendant said he was insulted by everybody. He had only had two threepenny-worth's of gin at Knights bridge. The boy genied the inspector's statement, but said his father had left him in the cart for an hour and a quarter, and was with some porters at a job. Mr. Beadon said he was satisfied the defendant was drunk as sworn to, and fined him 40s. The defendant said he should seek redress at Scotland yard, persisting that he was not intoxicated. THAMES. TOBACCO SMIJOGLING.—Henry Holloway, a seaman, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with unlawfully unshipping 21 lbs. of foreign manufactured tobacco, before the Customs' duties had been first paid and secured. Mr. Thomas Smith, a tide surveyor, stated that on the arrival of the General Steam Navigation Company's ship the Cologne, from Rotterdam, at the St Katherine's wharf, yesterday, he saw the prisoner get into a boat in a very hurried manner, and suspecting that he had smuggled goods about him, he asked him if he had any, to which he replied in the negative, and at the same time threw a paper oontainingtobacco overboard. He searched the prisoner and found suspended round his neck three papers, each con taining a half-pound of tobacco, and in his hat another paper containing a half-pound of tobacco ; making in all 21 lbs. The value and duty was about 30s. The prisoner acknowledged his guilt, and Mr. Yardley fined him 40s. A GREAT NursaNcE.—Ellen Crawley, a wretched-look ing woman, with her eyes swollen and blackened, bloated face, and hair hanging loosely about her face and neck, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with creating a dis turbance opposite the Court, and breaking a pane of glass in the window of the Prince of Wales publichouse, in Arbour-street East, Stepney. On Saturday morning the prisoner's landlord, a most consummate scoundrel and thief, named Willis, of No. 8, Bluegate-fields, Shad well, and a female named Maloney, were charged at this court with assaulting and plundering an Austro-Italian seaman, and they were remanded. The prisoner, who is strongly suspected of having been concerned n the robbery—one of the most audacious ever perpetrated —lived in the same house, and came to look after the fate of the two thieves, and got very much excited. She left the court for a short time, and returned in a half-drunken state and made a disturbance in the passage of the court. She was expelled from the building, and then crossed the road, went into the Prince of Wales public-house and demanded liquor. Mr. Preece, jun., the landlord, refused to serve her, and she gave utterance to a volley of foul abuse. He ejected her from the house, and she then pulled off her shoe and smashed a large pane of glass. Roche, the gaoler of the court, and Mills, a police-con stable, No. 306 K, said the prisoner was a foul-mouthed and very disorderly woman. Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for one month, and kept to hard labour. DISCOVERY OF A LARGE QUANTITY OF ANCIENT COIN ON THE PRINCE CONSORT'S FARM.--A field called the hospital field, belonging to the Shaw farm estate, in the possession of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, and abutting on the Long Walk, has rece n tly undergone the process of thorough draining, the earth afterwards turned in, and the ground rolled. Three boys were subsequently employed to collect the loose stones, when on Friday last one of them picked up something on the surface of the re cently removed earth, which appeared to them to be a lump of lead, and they were about to dispose of it as such, but upon further investigation it proved to be a leaden case con taining upwards of 150 pieces of silver coin, principally half crowns, of the reigns of Elizabeth, James 1., and Charles 1., most of them being in admirable preservation. The boys divided the coin among themselves, but on the discovery becoming known to Mr. Tait, the steward of his Royal Highness, the coins were collected and forwarded to her Majesty, and the lads suitably rewarded.

THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS--(Tms EVENING). The LORD CHINCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE CIVIL: SERVICE The Earl of DERBY laid on the table, by command o: her Majesty, the report of the Civil Service Commission. THE RED SEA TELEGRAPH. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said, in the short dis cussion that had taken place on Thursday last, he under stood the noble earl opposite (Derby) to state that the guarantee of the Government would not commence until the line was in working order, but he saw, from a letter signed by a gentleman named Deane, that the centract entered into came into force immediately it was agreed to by the Treasury. He also understoodthat an actual instalment of the 4- per cent. had been advanced, although no vote of Parliament had sanctioned such a payment. He wished to ask whether any such payment had been made. The Earl of DERBY said he was inaccurate when he stated on Thursday evening that the Government were not to make any payment until the line was in working order. It was quite true that an instalment had been paid, in anticipation of the sanction of Parliament, but in making that payment they had only followed the precedent of the late Government in the case of the Mediterranean Extension Company. He would not at that moment enter into any discussion as to whether such a course was regular, but the late Government had initiated the course, and the present Government had fol lowed it. THE STATE OF EUROPE. The Earl of MALMESBURY, in rising to make his statement with respect to the state of Europe, thanked their lordships for the indulgence they had accorded him in allowing him to postpone his statement, but he had done so in order that he might be in a position to state as fully as possible the exact position of the affairs of the conti nent. It was well known that for some time the relations of France, Austria, and Sardinia had been in anything but a satisfactory position; while, on the contrary, the position of this country with the other great powers was most satisfactory. With respect to the position of Austria it was well known, and it could not be denied that she had in many cases forgot that her duty to Italy was to set an example to the other states. The position of affairs in Italy, which for some time had ! - been unsatisfactory, had gradually grown worse, and the northern d:vision of that country had become a permanent source of European contention. It was exceedingly difficult for a country like England, and for any English Minister, to comprehend distinctly the policy of another country, but a art had been taken by the ruler of a great country, which had not lessened the difficulty. Affairs had daily grown worse, until at the end of February it was thought desirable to send Lord Cowley to Vienna. Their lord ships already knew that nobleman had been in negotiation with the Austrian Minister as a personal friend. Besides these negotiations Russia had proposed a congress, and he had thought that he should not be justified in refusing to accede to that prCceeding. Assent was given to this, and on the 22d of March Baron Brunow brought the official proposition. He (Earl of Malmesbury) then drew up four preliminary points for consideration. The first was what mea suaes should be taken to preserve, for the present, the peace between Austrta and Sardinia, the second related . to the best means of promoting the evacua- , tion of the Roman States by ,the French trOepi the third was, whether and, if any, what reforms should be introduced for the internal administration of the Roman and Italian States ; and the fifth related to the substi tution for the treaties between Austria and the Duchies of a confederation of the union of the Italian States for their mutual protection and benefit. Then there were a variety of questions of details as to the assembling of the congress. One of the great diffi culties was the question of disarmament, for it was always considered desirable that, in order to receive calm deliberation, the means of violence, should be removed. Austria wished a general disarmament. France; roposed that disarmament should be a question for the consideration of the Congress; while he proposed the question should be referred to a number of military officers. The whole of the powers were agreed except upon one point, and that point was the precise time at which the disarmament should take place. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS EVENING). The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Great Northern Railway Bill were considered and agreed to, and the bill was ordered for third reading. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Charing-cross Railway • Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Railway ; Reading and Hat field Road ; Salford Borough (No. 2) ; Tenbury Rail way ; Witney Railway (No. 2) ; Worcester and Hereford Railway. The following bills were read a second time :—Maidstone Water and National Fire and Life Insurance Company of Scotland. YACHT CLUBS. Lord DALKEITNFUOVed - iliatthere be added to the return relative to yacht clubs, moved for on the 7th of this instant April, any statement of the reason for the Admi ralty withdrawing the white ensign from the Royal Western Yacht Club of Ireland in 1858, specifying whe ther the circumstance that the secretary of the Royal Western Yacht Club was in the habit of holding out the privilege of the White Ensign as an inducement to persons to join that Club had any influence over that decision ; and a list of the vessels belonging to the Royal Western Yacht Club, specifying name, tonnage, and poets to which th e y belong.—Agnced to. ABERDEEN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES. Mr. S. ESTCOURT hoped that in the absence of the Lord Advocate the hon. member for Aberdeen . cCol. Sykes) would not press his motion relative to this subject, and he would promise that no steps would be taken in reference thereto until the meeting of the next Parliament. Colonel SYKES, under the circumstances, acceded to the request. THE BOY MARSDEN. In answer to Mr. BRISCOE, Mr. S. ESTCOURT said he was happy that this ques tion had been brought forward because there was much misconception relative to it. The inspector-general of re formatories attended the inquest held on the body of the boy, and from his report there was not the slightest ground of attaching blame to the officers on board the hulk, and that his death was produced by natural causes. LIEUT.-COLONEL DICKSON. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was his intention to recommend her Ma jesty to re-instate Lieut.-Colonel Dickson, late of the Tower Hamlets Militia, after the verdict obtained by that officer in the Court of Queen's Bench ? General PEEL said he could not make the recommenda ion in question. MEDICAL OFFICERS. In reply to Mr. GROGAN, —. Sir J. PAKINGTON said that it was proposed to place naval medical officers on the same footing with medical officers in the army. FOREI GN AFFAIRS.--MINISTERIAL EXPLANATION. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said—l now rise to place before the house the state of the negc.kia dons respecting the affairs of Italy. Towards the close of the last year there had been a considerable degree of irrita tion between Austria and France. The Ministers of this country, and Austria, and France had received instructions as far as possible to take steps to soften that asoerbity. Cir cumstances occurred which rendered the misunderstanding between these two Powers'a matter of notoriety, and her Majesty's representatives in those countries had received instructions to make themselves acquainted with all the information it was possible to obtain. It was considered that the time had then arrived when her Majesty might offer her friendly services as a mediator between the powers interested in the subject, and it was ultimately agreed to despatch Lord Cowley to Vienna, in consequence of his believing himself to be in full possession of the feel ings and sentiments of the Emperor of the French in reference to this matter. The views of her Majesty's Ministers at the time were those which had been entertained by the most distinguished statesmen of both houses and all parties. We thought that it would be most unwise to adopt any steps that would disturb the settlement made in 1815, and which was recommended by the greatest statesmen of the day. The treaty agreed to at this time gave Austria a large preponderance in the affairs of Italy, in order to preserve more effectually the balance of power in Europe. During the efforts to mediate on the part of this country, Russia suggested that there should be a Congress of the five great Powers, which was eventually agreed to. (Hear, hear.) This country considered, however, that under all the circumstances it was only advisable to accept this proposition of a congress, which was to endeavour to effect an arrangement of the misunderstanding that existed, on four conditions, subject to the general condition that the settlement of 1815 was not be interfered with. The first condition was the evacua- tion of Rome by the foreign troops ; the second was the reformation of the administration of Rome ; the third was to consider the best means of pre venting the breaking out of a war between Austria and Sardinia ; and the fourth, to consider the best mode of arranging the affairs of Central Italy ; a fifth con dition was added, by which Austria was to define the third condition, and that definition was the disarmament of Sardinia, and that this country was to guarantee Sar dinia from any attack on the part of Austria, pending the deliberations of the congress. Austria desired that the disarmament should take place before the meeting of congress ; and France, it was under stood, wished that question to be considered first in congress. Things were in that state when the noble lord the member for Tiverton put to me the question on this subject, and which I could not, of course, answer at the time. At length :it was agreed that there should be a general disarmament. Sardinia, however, would not enter into the engagement as she was not ad mitted to a place, and refused to disarm. H er M ajesty's Government are desirous of putting the most favourable con struction on the conduct of Sardinia, but I do think that conduct was ambiguous. I still hope that the peace of Europe will be maintained ; and I have the satisfaction to inform the house that the Marquis d'Azeglio has arrived in this country from Turin as ambassador extraordinary. He is a wise and temperate statesman and his appearance at present was favourable to the prospect of a pacific solution of the present differences. I cannot deny that, in my opinion, if a war broke out, such, as that which is now apprehended, it would lead to a Euro pean war; but I repeat that it appears to me probable, both from the force of public opinion„, ajod the feelings of the different Powers that I,ngcr a9f war will be averted. Lord PALMERSON OFARittligifi r it l t hon. ge n tl eman had made a very cle a r it,4Agaen'eght he was of opinion that it would be desirable if the congress assembled imme diately. [LEFT SPEAXIN G.l TATTERSALLS"-(THIS EVENING.) It was late in the afternoon before the • " settling" was brought to a close, but speculation was afterwards pursued pretty briskly. Royal Sovereign reigned as first favourite for the Chester Cup, 10 to 1 being the highest price obtainable about him at last. Bevis was supported at 15 to 1 and 100 to 6 (the latter price was taken freely), whilst 20 to 1 was offered against the quondam favourite Drog heda. Both Promised Land and Musjid were backed for some money for the Derby, the former at prices varying from 6 to 1 to 7 to 1, and the latter at 8 to 1 and 9 to 1, the latter price being the closing one.

THE LATE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.—It is in tended to erect a monument to the late Marquis of Water ford, and the subject has been referred to the Earl of Howth, Lord St. Lawrence, and Lord Ingestre. One idea that has been suggested is the erection of a bronze equestrian statue, which would cost about £1,500, in the demesne of Curragh more. Another is, erecting such a monument in the centre of the People's -park, in this city ; while a third is to imi tate the example lately set in the Wellington memorial, and raise funds to build and endow an institution for the relief of jockeys or huntsmen who are disabled by accident, or overtaken by old age. Which of the three will be adopted we are not as yet informed, but the latter would be morn consonant with the spirit of the age.— Waterford Mail.

REMINISCENCES OF WILLIAM PITT.—In the obi tuary of last week was recorded the death of Mr. John Bur field, of Deal, formerly gardener, aged 88 years. In early lite he had in this capacity lived at Wahner Castle, during its occupancy by Mr. Pitt, then Prime Minister, of whom the old man would relate many interesting anecdotes. On being admitted to the household ho was apprised that his bedroom was so situated that he would probably be dis turbed by the sounds sometimes to be heard from his mas ter's chambers, of which he soon had audible proof. Dur hllasrplaemparenat-. ing the silent hours of darkness the great man would rise from his repose , and pacing his room, appear to b e deliver ingion ,in all pr a sP e °e hinoi:tahbeilimty7ftorimapcaosnisiinongedco m anner,nflict The gardens at the rear of the castle were at . this time newly • and giving personal directions;. the laid out, Mr. Pitt taking much interest . in the alteration, he would become absent, walkingt o and fro for some time in silence, and then (as one aroused from a reverie) resume his superintendence, inquiring what he had last planned. During such intervals Burfield never ventured to disturb his master by an inquiry. Trivial as are these incidents, they show that the highest position and the most extended influence cannot be enjoyed without vast and all absorbing cares.

It was believed he took the watch while in an insane state in a public-house, for which offence he was committed. Verdict, "Temporary insanity." CATTLE FROM THE NORTH OF EUROPE.—An effort has been made during the last few days to dispose of the Lowestoft property of the North of Europe Ste,am Naviga tion Company, but there was no bidding for the factory and adjoining premises.
