Mi! MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. The renewed abundance in the money market has been attended with a decided increase in the de mand for Exchequer Bills, which have risen 35., closing at 6s. to 9e. prem. The last price from Paris this evening Was 68E 65c., showing a further advance. In the foreign exchanges this afternoon the rate upon Paris was a shade higher ; otherwise there was no alteration of importance from the rates of last post. There has again been undiminished excitement to-day in the Liverpool cotton market, at a further advance. Later commercial telegrams from New York were received in the city this afternoon, announcing that the premium on gold had advanced to 7 per cent., and the rate of exchange to 1161, with a corres ponding upward movement in the nominal prices (in paper) of all securities. The half-yearly meeting of the London and Greenwich Railway Company is called for the Bth of July, when a dividend of £1 7s. id. per cent., or ss. sd. per share, free of income tax, will be recom mended. The first ordinary general meeting of the share holders in the Metropolitan and Provincial Bank (Limited) is called for the 15th July. A second call of £2 10s. is to be paid by the 12th of July on those obligations of the Netherlands Land Enclosure Company on which only £2 10s. has yet been paid. Later American telegrams, received this after noon, describe great excitement in business circles at New York with regard to the continued and important rise in the exchange, which has ow reached 118. The premium on gold has at the same time risen to 7to 71 per cent. The movement in each instance is promoted by the necessity of making remittances to Europe against the large amount of American securities sent from this side. To-day's advices speak of shipments of specie to Europe to the extent of no less than 1,800,000 dollars, or £360000 , in the sterling. The rise premium on gold has also probably been stimulated by th e arrangements for the circulation of an additional amount of 150,000,000 dollars of demand notes. Meanwhile the issues of Govern ment paper are still inflating the prices of securities at New York. For foreign purposes, the American currency is of course useless, and specie must be resorted to. The foreign pressure for specie upon the American markets is aggravated by the eager ness wi th which t h e Americans, in addition to carrying all th e i r new Government securities, are t their old stocks back from the hands of holders in Europe. European holders, on their part, are the more willing t o se ll, b ecause t h ey dis trust the permanence of the fabric of paper which the Americans have reared, and in which they ex press Such unbounded confidence. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. has Within the last fortnight an important change Etaken place in monetary prospects. Just before a cess ation of th e efflux of sovereigns from the - nk of En g l and in connection with the Turkish :41kn• Most per sons were ant i c i pat i ng an advance nn the minimum quotation ; but now there appears to be greater probability of a movement in the other direction, be cause gold is acc u m u l a ti ng , th e com mercial re q ui rements of the count r y are li m it e d, and the available supplies of floating capital will be lar ge l the y a ugmented by th e i mpen di ng re l ease of July dividends. Two or three new foreign loans tively are sp o k en of, but the amounts involved are compara small, and with the sustained importation of gold from America, Australia and other sources, there is reason to believe that the reserves of the precious metal will continue Agar to be mai n t a i ne d at a h i gh % Bankers and others are taking advantage of the opportunity to ask r a th er hi gher terms, but they still grant concessions, especially to their regular clients, sufficient to divert business from the Bank of England.

SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. THE AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITION. (THIS DAY.) The Exhibition in Battersea-park, to-day, must have been as successful as all parties could wish. The weather was such as to make getting about amongst both the cattle anti machinery quite pleasant, and the show of both was abundant, and of a gratifying character. The machinery in motion was, even to non-agricul turists, an entertaining sight ; the manufacturing districts will soon lose one of their grand distinc tions, for steam showed itself quite as much• the handmaid of almost every conceivable agricul tural operation us of cotton spinning and weaving. The specimens, too, of all kinds of animals were generally of a high order. The company, we may add, was worthy of the occasion; the Prince of Wales, Prince Arthur, Prince Na poleon, and Prince Louis of Hesse, • and Lord Palmerston, were amongst those we noticed. When we left, the judges had not finished their awards, but many of the prize cattle were already dis tinguished by the cards hung over their heads. We had only time to notice particularly the Devons, the show of which was considered by most quite to take the lead. The first prize in the first class was awarded to No. 349, a three-year-old ball, belonging to Mr. James Davy, of Flitton Barton, North Malton, Devonshire, and named " The Duke of Flitton." He was an extraordinary animal of his age, nothing could well surpass him ; he was, indeed, one of the best Devon specimens ever shown. We noticed, also, a fine animal, No. 356, a first prize in Class 111., and another, a second priZe, No. 357, " Fusi lier," which was generally considered the most useful and best animal in his class, a very good specimen of the pure Devon, not toofat. It belonged to Mr. James Merson, of Brinworthy, North Malton, Devon. Indeed, North Maltou carries off many honours. We cannot, however, par ticularise further than to mention that we noticed among the prizes, 36 1 , I st p r ize , " Prince Al fred," belonging to Col. Hood , b red at the Prince 369, 2d a . lso Mr: Turner's.3663dprize, Mr. Ge o . T urn e r 's. prize, 372, Mr. James Davy. 375, Mr. G. Turner. 380, Mr. J. A. Smith. 385, Mr. Wm. Paull, 386, Mr. J.

Seven ran. The attendance up to 5 o'clock this evening at aristocratic.a Islington, The dogs that t heN e w Agriculturaland highly Hall, was very numerous attracted the greatest attention were those, in most instances, to which a prize had been awarded, and the justness of the awards appeared to be univer sally admitted. The English mastiff se emed to be rega r d e d as a general favourite with the gentlemen present, but the `'toy" or small dog division received the support of the ladies. No. 553, a beautiful little white animal, which might almost be placed in a lady's slipper, excited universal admiration. One lady who appeared to have taken a decided fancy to the pretty little creature, gently hinted to the fine specimen of Young Englandism that accompanied her, " that it was just the sort of thing she would like above all others ;" but his reply to this appeal was merely, " At), yes, but it's no good at rats ;" and he good naturedly proceeded to point out the beauties of some of the other animals. Ten ran. I NNKEEPERS' PLATE. Ten ran. The black and tan and King Charles' spaniels were greatly and deservedly admired, for certainly finer specimens have seldom if ever been seen.

The arrangements for the convenience of the visitors are of the best description. house. He hoped that the hon. and learned baronet,' would not retire from this measure without promising that he would bring the subject before the house. He did not hesitate to say that the present system was one under which no one can obtain impartial justice. After retuning to the charges brought against him, the hon. gentleman said the whole matter would be brought before a jege and jury, and if the house thought ik necessary to vindicate his character as being entitled to retain his seat as a number of Parliament, he would be happy if a committee were ap pointed to investigate the charges that had been brought against him. Mr. BOVILL, as one of the benchers of the Middle Temple, who had adjudicated on the case of the hon. and learned member, said they were bound to institute an in quiry into the charges that were preferred against him. The hon, and learned member had been accused of defraud ing Mr. Parker of £5OO, and allowed judgment to go by default. When Mr, Parker heard that the hon. and learned member denied the correctness of the transaction•between them, he offered to let the matter be tried by a jury. Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR—I accepted the challenge. Mr. BOVILL—The judgment was still on the file. Mr. SEYMOUR was understood to dissent from this statement. . _ Mr. BOVILL then entered into some further details tending to incriminate Mr. Digby S'eyrnonr. After some further discussion, Sir G. Bowyer withdrew the bill. The house then went into committee on the Juries Bill, and clauses 1 to 7 were agreed to, and the house resumed. The order for the second reading of the Church Rates Voluntary Commutation Bill was discharged. The Consolidated Fund (£10,000,000) Bill went through committee, the other orders were disposed of, and the house adjourned at 10 minutes to 6 o'clock. SPORTING-THIS DAY. EY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

The United Kingdom Electric Telegraph Company (Lords) was c msidered ; and the Dover Reclamation Bill was read a second time. PETI HoNs. Some petitions were presented against the Tramways Bill, the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors, and a large number from different parts of the United Kingdom against the Burial Bilt. INNS OF COURT GOVERNMENT BILL. Sir G. BOWYER, on moving the second reading of this bill, gave a very interesting and erudite account of the origin, progress, and government of the four Inns of Court, comprising the Temple, Lincoln's-inn, and Gray's-inn. He said it had been contended that as these societies were of a voluntary character there should be no interference in their management. The duties of the benchers were very important, because they held the keys of admission to the bar, which was frequently the stepping stone to some of the most elevated political offices. Such being the case, and holding property as they did under the Crown, he considered that these institutions should be amenable to the control of Parliament. He alluded to the case of an eminent barrister who had attained to the dignity of Queen's counsel, and who some time back had been re fused to be called to the bench by the benchers of one of the inns of court. Tho inns were sul ject to the visitation of the judges, to whom the gentleman in question appealed, and they investigated his case. He was unable, however, to obtain any redress, for the judges reported that the benchers of the Inner Temple, the institution in question, had a right to regulate the number of those whom they should call to the bench, but at the same time they recommended that they should not exercise their privilege too stringently. No doubt his hon. and learned friend behind him (Mr. Bovill), who had under taken the defence of these inns, would quote the authority of the commissioners who sat in 1845, and like Cicero, pro domo sue, make an eloquent oration on the class of which he was a member. "flutist be remembered that the com missioners were either benchers, or were expecting to be come so; but, at the same time, they suggested that there might be improvement in the management of these insti tution. Ho did not for an instant impute to the benchers any improper application of the funds entrusted to their care ; but not only did he object to the arbitrary power of the benchers, but he contended that there had been extrava gance in regard to what were called the embellishments of the Inner Temple. Some of these ornaments, as they were called, were of a most ridiculous character; and, as an in stance of this, he alluded to a statue of a knight templar in the Inner Temple, who was represented with a bridle in his right hand and flourishing a sword ie his left. (Laughter.) The chief object of this bill was to extend a control over the admission of students to the members of the inns generally, and to give them also other functions which wore now monopolised by the benehers. Mr. COLLIER moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day three months. He believed that, with the exception of Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, the persons whose cases had been tried before the benchers 1 desieed the secrecy which it was now proposed to abolish. in the case of Mr. Edwin James, so far from his objecting to the jurisdiction of the benchers, he (Mr. Edwin James) wrote to the benchers to say that he had been calum niated, and that he would be able to disprove the charges that Lad been brought against him. But Mr. James never required that the proceedings should be published. The benchers asked Mr. James if he wished to have any number of his friends present duri ng the inves tigation, and a shorthand writer attended by the direction, not of Mr. James, but of the benchers. A printed copy of the evidence, which had been taken down fully, was sup plied to Mr. James, who said that if the benchers would not decide in his case he would retire from the practice of the bar in this country. He never heard any journal or sny person assert that the conduct of the benchers was unjust in the case of Mr. James. As regarded another barrister, who was a mem ber of the house, he was not present at the investigation of his ease, but no doubt there were friends of his who were, a nd who would no doubt give explanation. Mr. ROEBUCK seconded the amendment. Mr. CRAUFORD considered that the bill ought to be read a second time, in order that it might be discussed in committee. Mr. M. SMITH opposed the bill. Mr. WALTER suggested the withdrawal of the bill for the present. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the bill. He said that there had been no representation or petition from the legal body in favour of this bill, and from the frequent comm union which took place between the members o f that profession, he thought he would have become acquainted with the fact if they were favourable to the measure. Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR said be was placed in a situa tion of great difficulty. If he remained silent those who read the reports of this debate might put an unjust con struction on that silence. However painful to him this dis eussion must be, he was glad to think that it would result in some benefit by bringing the oubject of this bill before the 108 110 106 ICS 106 ICS 99i 10(4 98 99 1106 107 111 113 1111 113 1112 114 1 - ilO6 105} i 100 t 1041 f !OSe 11i lon 31 201 I 131 81i 11221 'OCKS parate Year. 82i li 1031 'ear not to b e half year. RACING FIXTU Newcastle Hampton Odiham Bibury Club Newton . ... 2 Stockbridge 3 Airdrie Winchester. Newmarket Cambridge Worcester Mansfield AQUATICS. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—THis SCHOONER RACE. The annual schooner race of the above distinguished club has long been the great yachting feature of the metropolitan season, and that of Monday was one of the most agreeable and interesting races ever witnessed, the excitement being kept up by repeated changes and spirit-stirring incident; added to which, the weather was most delightful for visi • tors, the sun after midday shedding its benign and cheering influence over the scene. The Prince of Wales steamer, chartered by the club, conveyed between four an4.five hun dred members of the club and their friends to view the race, in addition to which there were two steamers from the Woolwich Company and a large fleet of yachts accompany ing the match. The following were the entries : Shark Galatea .. ~ 131 Flying Cloud 75 Leonora .... 105 The first prize was value £lOO, the second £4O, and there was a quarter of a minute time per ton allowed for difference of tonnage, but no time above 150 tons. The course was from Gravesend to the douse Light and back. The noble commodore, 1,,,ycl Aifred Paget, ordered the first gun to be fired for the boa: s' crews to be in readiness at 91 minutes past 12, and the seco2d to be off at 14 minutes past 12. At the time of the start there was a goo,l breeze from the north-west; but as the evening advanced the wind height • ened and blew all round the compass. The Fly;.:lg Cloud made a beautiful start. She was first round and under canvas ; the Leonora was second. The Shark rather heaNT, but her position was the worst of the fleet; nor was the Galatea's a good place. The Shark, from her superiority of tonnage, was generally considered the favourite ; but it was whispered that the Flying Cloud, with her allowance of tonnage, would be found a most formidable opponent, and so she turned out without reference to the time scale at all. The Flying Cloud was hardly round before she set her maintopsail, in which she was immediately followed by the Leonora, who also get up her foretppsail. The Flying Cloud entered the Hope first, and immediately greatly im proved her lead, and they all stood well down to below the battery, where they had to go about, and made four or five boards, during which the powers of the Flying Cloud to windward wero proved to be admirable. The Shark, though somewhat hampered at first, got the second place in the Hope, and when she entered Sea Reach her superior powers began to tell upon the Flying Cloud, and she was gradually overhauling her. At the Chapman Head the Flying Cloud led by about a hundred yards ; next to her was the Shark, then the Leonora, and next the Galatea. The latter drew upon her off Leigh, and after a very patty race, passed her into the third place. While this was occurring an equally smart race was going on between the Flying Cloud and the Shark, only a few hundred yards a-head, which developed considerable nautical skill. The Shark tried to pass her to windward, but the Captain of the Flying Cloud resisted the operation, but in a few minutes afterwards the Shark quickly pas:4: l d under her lee off Shoebury. The boats were close-hauled fiPm this point down to the Light, but the Shark standing too i t zr over to the southward, the Flying Cloud keeping a good o ourse and going very close to the wind, neared the Mouse in ad vance of her. There was also a fine race, and one of the closest we ever saw between the Shark and the Galatea. The latter had reached past the Leonora off Southend, and not going anything like so far to the southward,came abreast of the Shark at the moment of rounding, and they turned together, the one literally covering the other, and forming as beautiful a picture as could well be conceived, The rounding was in the following time and order : h. m. s. - Flying Cloud Galatea Shark Leonora The Galatea was closer to the Light than her opponent, and therefore possesses the preference. There was a light: breeze the next few minutes after rounding from the ea h s ti t- t ward, so that the course up looked favourable enoughh,t the it was very shifty, and ever and anon abating, broug. for vessels altogether again, and gave admirable exercise the art of a marine artist. Off Shoeburyness the boats were all having the advantage of the young flood. The Flying Cloud was only landing by six o rseven lengths the which h d ad been Shark being second ; then the Galatea, left by the Shark after rounding, went the to her an passed her to windward, tut off Shoebury hey changed places, and between there and Southend the Galatea again resumed her position. The Leonora now they b w ro fi u nald g li h wn t ar a do, lli ffan ce wd w aws i e n na d gt a u ui p pn w ith her, and passed the Shark to to the Flying C loud, but suddenly The passed by the Sh ark at the entlouranc to thegMand edw Shark passed th e Flying Cloud to leeward, were again altogether, and the result of the changes caused by shortness of wind, in which they alternately shifted their pos itions,' was, that at the C ha p man H ead the Flying Cloud led by a couple of lengths, the Galatea being second, Cloud held and the other two close together. eh`Te Flying her lead until within 200 yards of th inring buoy, whe^ the Galatea, which had been creeping up to her, just over hauled her, and the race finished as folluws h. m. s. Galatea Flying Clcud Leonora 6 59 15 Shark . The Flying Cloud won the that prize, and the Leonora the second, and they were presented by Lord Alfred Paget respectively to Count Batthany and Mr. Hesketh, with a very well-merited compliment upon both for the sailing of their yachts, and the victory of Count Batthany in 5 ° small a vessel. POLICE-THIS DAY. M ARLBOROUGH-STREET. CONSPIRACY OF THE CABMEN.—Not a day elapses without cabmen being summoned to this court, the com plaint against them not being that of exacting more than their legal fare, but of refusing to take a fare when there is only one person to be carried. Lord Huntingtower sum moned a cabins; named George Harrison Dobbins, badge 10,100, for refusing to take him as a fare, the cabman pre tending not to have seen his lordship, although only ten yards off; but directly after managing to see a party of four persons, and taking thorn up. Crooke, 106 E, who was a witness for Lord Hunting tower, said the .cabmen would not now take single fares, and he heard as many as 100 complaints a-day against them, he being stationed in the Regent-circus. Mr.Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 205., and suspended the cabman's license for 20 days, at the same time stating that there was a most impudent conspiracy existing among the cabmen against the public. Lord Huntingtower having stated that be did not wish the man punished, Mr. Tyrwhitt said that being the case he had no other alternative but to discharge him ; but at the same time he would state that in all cases of the kind he should deal most severely with the defendants, and revoke their licenses. Another cabman, named James Wooton, badge 1,835, was summoned for refusing to take Mr. John M. Sewell, of 2, St. James's-street. In this case the defendant drove from one aide of Regent-street to the other in answer to the complainant's hail, but on the defendant seeing that some ladies who were standing near the complainant were not going in his cab, he drove off. Mr. Tyrwhitt suspended the defendant's licence for 10 days. DANGtEROUS DRIVING. -Mr. Robert Garden, saddler, of 29, Piccadilly, was fined 40s. for being drunk and furiously driving a horse and gig in Piccadilly, as also assaulting Mr. Read, gasfitter, of 2, Bond-street, Golden-square. Mr. Tyrwhitt, in fining the defendant, said it was a most dangerous thing for a man to drive a gig while drunk. WESTMINSTER. Tn➢ SWELL MOB AT THE EXHIBITION.—John Clare and Mary Williams, a ♦ery fashionably attired man and woman, were placed at the bar charged with attempting to cpmmit robberies at the Exhibition. John Share; 16 X, said—l was on duty at the Exhibi- tion yesterday afternoon at a quarter to four, when I saw the prisoners in the North Court. There was a piece being played, accompanied by a flute, and a number of persons listening. I saw the female prisoner, accompanied by the man, walk up by the side of a lady and stand close to the right of her. The man then placed himself behind the female prisoner, and I saw her place her hand in the lady's pocket. After that the female prisoner walked away, followed by the man, who spoke to her. I asked the lady whether she had lost anything, when she replied that she had not, that she had only got a handkerchief in her pocket. The prisoners then followed three ladies, and the female placed herself on the right of one of them, the man, as before, going behind her. The female then placed her hand in another lady's pocket, but got nothing, and left. I then followed and took them into custody, when the female dropped a pair of scissors used for cutting ladies' dresses. Female Prisoner—lts a mistake altogether about the scissars, I was picking my nails with them, and they fell out of my hands. Policeman continued—l found £4 in gold and silver upon the male prisoner, and £2 6s. on the female, £2 of which she had iu her hand. I found a gold watch and chain upon each of them. Mr. Arnold—Were they wearing them ? Policeman—Yes. Mr. Arnold—Openly ? Polioeman—Yes. - _ Mr. Arnold—Why did you take them from them? Policeman—We always take everything from them. Mr. Arnold—Do you take their hats, their mantles, or their boots ? Policeman—No. _ _ _ Mr. Arnold—Then why take anything else ;they wear ? Have you any reason to believe they were stolen? Policeman—l have not. Mr. Arnold—Give them their watches at once. This was accordingly done, and the prisoners, who are expert old thieves, were remanded. MARKETS---THIS DAY. ELECTION OF SHERIFFS. STATE OF THE POLL -ONE O'CLOCK THIS DAY. Jones 313 ...... 94 Lawrence Nissen . ANTI-SLAVERY MEETING.—( This Day.) This afternoon a very large meeting assethbled at the I London Tavern, at which Lord Brougham presided. His lordship, in opening his address, said he was there that day, after sixty years' warfare, to do battle in the cause of the freedom of the slave. He thanked God that the inhuman traffic in England was not now called a trade, but a c r ime - -(cheers)—but, notwithstanding that, Spain, who had received so large an amount of the British tax-payers' money for the suppression of slavery, still con tinued to foster and encourage it in the island of Cuba. lb that place all the ruined nobles of Spain were succes sively appointed governor-generals, in order that they might reinstate their shattered fortunes. He asked the meeting whether such a course of proceeding did not merit their utmost condemnation. And he trusted the influence of that great assembly before him that day would tend' to bring Spain to a full sense of her obli gations. After the noble lord had concluded a very elo quent speech, a number of resolutions were adopted by the meeting, all expressing the utmost detestation of slavery.

The fresh arrival of English wheat to this morning's market was small. Generally speaking, however, sales pro gressed somewhat shwly ; nevertheless, Monday's advance in the quotations was well maintained. Thera was a fair show of samples of foreign wheat on offer. In most descriptions a moderate retail business was transacted, and the currencies ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at full quotations. For barley there was a steady demand, and late rates were well supported. The malt trade was steady at quite previous quotations. Good and fine oats met a steady sale at full currencies, but inferior qualities moved off heavily at the late decline. Beans and peas changed hands at the extreme prices of Monday. Flour sold freely, and the quotations had an upward tendency. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Iklalt. Oats. Flour.

THE ,BONAPABTES AN IC D HE "CROWN OF MEXO." On the occasion of the death of Joseph Napo leon Bonaparte, elder brother of the first Emperor Napoleon, a notice of his life, entitled " Quelques Mots sur Joseph Napoleon Bonaparte," was written by the present Emperor of the French, which may be found in vol. ii. of his worke, at p. 415. The following extract acquires especial interest, from the peculiar attitude which France occupies just now in relation to the United States and Mexico " Joseph saw his brother for the last time at Rochefort ; he proposed to deliver himself, in his stead, to the English, who, deceived by the resem blance, would ',suppose they were conducting the Emperor to England, whilst he might pass quietly to the United States. Napoleon refused, and the two brothers bade each other an eternal adieu or ; ono the departed for St. Helena , a nd the other f United States and America. Here commences for Joseph a new life, which will escape the political be variously esti mated, since it cannot entirely e e eze near Phila feeling by which France is dividpeeer yen to this day.

A deputation of Meajeses came to offer him the crown of Mexico. The former King of Naples and Spain replied to the deputation nearly in these terms :—" I have worn two ero7nsi and would not take a step to wear a third. No:hing can be more flattering to me than to see men, wht:; when I was at Madrid, were willing to recognise my authority, coming to-day to seek me in my exile to place me at their head ; but I do not believe that the throne which you wish to elevate anew can secure your happiness.

LEEDS, 24th: is nothing new to report as . to the condition and prospects of the woollen cloth trade here, to-day's markets in both the halls being rather quiet, and the purchasers indicating that the same feeling pervades both the home and the foreign demand. About a late average amount of business w as done in light Meltons and Tweeds, with quite as much in velvets and heavy g oods, and also in plain cloths. Both wools and cloths keep steady in price. No-w• • --.*; THE SOCIETY OF ARTS. The Society of Arts gave a dinner last night in the cen tral dining-room at the Exhibition building, which was one of unusual ceiat. All the Foreign and Colonial Commis sioners, and a large number of the distinguished strangers now visiting the Exhibition were invited, and most of them were present. Mr. Gladstone took the chair, and among the most notable of the English guests were Lord Lyttel ton, Lord Harris, Vice-Chancellor Wood, the Solicitor_ General, Sir W. Mike, and others. After the hesdths of the Queen, the Prince of Wales, and the Royal Family had been drunk, The CHAIRMAN proposed " Prosperity to the Society of Arts." After tracing the history of the society from its foundation, 108 years ago, and pointing out the benefits which it had conferred on the arts, industry, and commerce of the country during its career, Mr. Gladstone said that duly to appreciate its performances we must not look only at the harvest which was now being gathered, but we must go back to the day when the seed was sown—perhaps in wintry weather, and with little encouragement for the results which were to be obtained. The period in which the society was formed was of marked stagna tion in most things pertaining to art and indus try, and we who now contemplate the immense development which had since taken place, and who locked with confidence to the future progress which was to be achieved, ought not to forget what were the earlier difficulties through which the society had passed. (Hear, hear.) Passing from the earlier history of the societ3 to its present position, Mr. Gladstone next alluded to the loss which it had sustained in the death of the Prince Consort, who, as its President, had been so long and intimately connected with all its transac tions. It was within the bosom of this society that the Prince had happily matured that great and fertile idea, destined to take its place among the great discoveries of the present century, of bringing together the members of the various families of mankind by means of those great ex hibitions of the different objects of their arts and industries. When first the Prince Consort was called on to stand up in public and explain the object with which the Exhibition of 1851 was undertaken, be said it was to become a point from whence all future progress was to be measured—a point at which all past progress could bo compared, and to afford an opportunity to all the nations of the civilised world to estimate their comparative merits and defects; to discover what each of them could teach anl what each had to learn, so as to enable each nation to develope still further its pe culiar excellence and to remedy its shortcomings. (Hear, hear.) That the Exhibition of 1851 had served the purpose was proved by the magnificent collection now aft ered under that roof. This Exhibition of 1862 showed how far the Prince Consort was justified in saying that the first Exhibition would be a point from which all future progress would be measured or stimulated, and it contained within itsufficient evidence of progress to warrant the conviction not only that an immense advance had been made by the industry of civilisation in (he limited period of 11 years, but also that still further advance would yet be made from the impetus which had been given from the comparison instituted in 1651. (Hear, hear.) It was not too much to say that these great International Exhibitions were established now as institutions nut only of this coun try but of the civilised world, and with the foundation of these institutions will be established for all time to come the illustrious name of the Prince Consort, which on that ground made sure of its immortality. (Cheers.) But those who recognised that title to immortality ought to bear in mind the humble but true and faithful partner of the Prince Consort's labours. The Society of Arts, over which he pre sided, was his partner either in the conception or develop ment - of that idea, and it was entitled to the second place and to no small share of the honour of that great cohnacveept con- . To have had a share in so great a work, and f to ole great tributed to the gathering h spectacle which some sixty or seventoge*tYwthousand attempts People had a a d t come that day to visit, dispensed m of the laboured culogium.

The right h on . gentleman concluded, amid loud cheers, by calling on the company to drink prosperity to a society which had done so much to promote undertakings which would teach the nations of the world to know one another, and to accelerate the arrival of the time when peace would remain among men, and the arts of strife and discord be no more learnt. PHILLIPS, Sir T . the vice-president, returned thanks, and concluded by proposing " The health of the Foreign Visitors." MICIIEL CHEVALIER, who was very loudly cheered on rising, returned thanks on behalf of the foreign visitors, who, he said, had been universally delighted with the wel come they had received here, and who had not failed to learn many valuable lessons from what they had seen in this country. The CHAIRMAN next proposed "The Health of the Royal Commissioners of 1862," in returning thanks for which Sir WENTwoRTH D ILKE said that,whatever mistakes the Com missioners might have fallen into, they had, at least, pro duced an Exhibition with which, after all his experience IA i a 1851, he was confiden t there had never been anythng Been at all comparable.
