MO EMT. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. CITY NEWS-THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK, There is a dull but steady market for' Public Securities. Speculation is chiefly directed to foreign investments, but Consols are maintained at 931 1 -4 for money, and at 93 94 for the June ac • count. Dealings have been officially recorded in the New Threes and Reduced Annuities at 917, 911; in Indian 5 per Cents. at 108 4 - I; in 4 per Cents. Enfaced at 91 911 ; ditto 5 per Cents, at 103 to 103 E; ditto 51 at 1089 ; Exchequer Bills are 21s. prem. ; and India Bonds, 275. 30s. prem. ; Bank Stock is 236. Considerable animation has pervaded the Foreign Market, and prices have experienced a further im provement. Spanish Certificates have been in especial request, dealings having taken place at 11, the latest quotations being 101 1, showing a slight reaction. Italian 5 per Cents. have advanced per cent., viz., to 701 71 ; Mexican are firm at 32, and Venezuelan at 231 24 ; Egyptian 7 per Cent. Scrip has risen to 11 21 prem., and Sardinian 5 per Cents. to 841 ; Turkish 6 per Cents. are main tained at 801 811 ; ditto, 1858, at 711 ; and the New Scrip at 31 prem. A noticeable feature has been an improvement in Russian Scrip, from a discount to zi t premium. It appears that Messrs. Rothschild received applica tions for about£ls,ooo,ooo,whereas the amount for appropriation represented £10,000,000. This result has created some little surprise, owing to the apathy shown on the Stock Exchange, and the apparent indifference with which the operation was viewed by the public at large. It is under stood, however, that the Continental Markets have largely contributed to the success of the affair. In the Railway Share Market, the dealings have been moderately active, and a slight advance has taken place in the prices obtained for several of the principal British undertakings. Caledonians and Eastern Counties have improved ss. ; Great Westerns, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Wes terns, and Midlands 10s. North Eastern (Berwick) and South Easterns, however, have declined ss. The Foreign lines continue in fair request, but the Belgian have slightly given way. Great Luxemburg have receded to 15 and 151; Dutch Rhenish to 181- ; and Sambre and Meuse to 12 and 121. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian, however, are firm at 211 21/. For the Colonial undertakings the inquiries were limited. Grand Trunk of Canada have declined to 251 26; Great Western of Canada realise 121 i; East Indian, 104Q7 and Great Indian Peninsula, 1021 1021. Joint Stock Bank Shares show a slight improve ment. Oriental Bank realise 514 ; London and County, 401; Ottoman Bank, 271; and Union of London, 33. The Alliance Bank Shares are 51 61 prem. ; Im perial, 2- prem. ; Northern Counties 2f 31 prem. ; and British Colombian, $1 prem. In the Miscellaneous Market Crystal Palace Stock has improved to 361 37 ; London General Omnibus Co. brought 11 11; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam declined to 691. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK.

J. Fox Russell, Lord LlanoTer, Earl of Camperdown, Lord Cremorne, Colonel C. B. Challoner, Mr. John St. Aubyn, M.P., Mr. E. K: Tenison f Hon. W. C. W. Coke, M.P., Viscount Dalrymple, Colonel J. M. Caulfield, Hon. Edward S. Russell, Lord Ssndis, Mr. Edward Ayshford Sanford, Earl of Fife, Hon. Ha:nilton H. Duncan, Lord Carew, Sir Geo. R. Philips, Mr. Augustus Keppel Stephenson, Right Hon. J. W. Fitzpatrick, General Sir H. Ferguson Davie M.P., Earl of Gosford, Right Hon. Stephen Lushington, Mr. Frederick Dundas, M.P., Right Hon. Edward Ellice, M.P., Viscount Eversley, Hon. Leopold Agar Ellis, M.P., Mr. Edward Ellice, Jun., M.P., Lord Deere, Earl of Straf ford, Col. R. A. Shafto Adair, Marquis of Hartington. A destructive fire occurred two days since at Cysoing, near Lille, by which sixty-three houses, occupied by weavers, were reduced to ashes. As all the buildings were thatched, the flames spread with the utmost rapidity, and all efforts to arrest their progress proved in vain. Several persons were rather seriously injured, and 163 are left houselese and destitute, but the authorities have taken active measures to relieve their most urgent wants. The fire is supposed to have been caused accidentally. A new line Of railway, which connecte the Pateley Bridge district \with Leeds, Bradford, and Manchester has been opened. T.he line is dearly twelve miles long. A fine health. i v child has died at Bradford from the effects of eating 3 quantity Putrid of orange peel, which the deceased had pid:ted up ill the /mark e t place. The progress of business in the manufacturing districts generally has exhibited little change of importance during the past week. At Manchester there has been a better demand for cloths and yarns for China. The result of the American advices, however, has caused a further advance in the value of both. The woollen trade at Leeds has been dull, except for light fabrics for home requirements. At Bradford, HaliLx, and Huddersfield there have been a few inquiries for goods on French account, and prices have remained steady. The hosiery and lace trades at Leicester and Nottingham have ex hibited more animation owing to the fineness of the weather; but in the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, no particular improvement can be reported. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday business was moderately active, and prices wero steady. The sales were 5,000 bales. About £33,000 in gold was taken into the Bank of England on Saturday. The Magdalena, from the Brazils, has brought .£39,588 ; and the Asia, from New York, £31,445 in. specie. The Niagara, for New York, took £4,000 in specie. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending the 18th ultimo, amounted to £10,184 against £9,970 last year. The demand for discount accommodation is quieter as usual, just after the monthly liquidation of com mercial accounts, but the market still retains a very Arm appearance, and it seems to be the general opinion that the rates will shortly exhibit a fur ther upward tendency, through the transmission of specie to Turkey and Egypt, on account of the loans lately introduced, and other influences. The quotations at present, however, are indicative of abundant supplies and moderate requirements, the Bank of England minimum being 2i per cent., while accommodation is obtainable in other quar ters as low as 21 per cent.

Full average supplies of wheat were exhibited in the various country markets, held on Saturday, and all kinds moved off slowly, at, in some instances, rather less money. Spring corn, however, was in fair request, at full prices. In flour, only a moderate business was transacted. The continental markets still continue dull for wheat, and advises from New York bring rather easier currencies for produce generally, owing to the large quantities on offer. Somewhat increased supplies of home-grown produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 17,256 quarters of wheat; 19,624 barley; 30,496 oats ; 2,089 beans; 322 tares ; 2,375 linseed ; 1,836 oats ; 50 sundry seeds; and 250 sacks of flour. There was a comparatively good arrival of English wheat fresh up to this morning's market, both from Essex and Kent, and most samples came to hand in fair condition. The trade, for all qualities, was in a most sluggish state, and sales could only be effected by submitting to a reduc• tion in the quotations current on Monday last of 2s per quarter. At the close of business a considerable portion of this supply was left unsold. The show of samples of foreign wheat was somewhat ex tensive. For all descriptions the demand ruled heavy in the extreme, and, compared with Monday last, prices exhi bited a decline of ls, in some instances 2s, per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry, and the currencies had a downward tendency. We were very moderately supplied with English barh y, all good qualities of which sold freely, at extreme rates. Inferior as well as foreign parcels were in slow request, on about former terms. Good and fine malt was firm as to price; but infericr parcels were a dull inquiry. Oats—notwithstandin g the increased supply—changed hands to a fair extent, and prices, on the whole, were steadily supported. Beans were in short supply, and steady, though by no means active, request, at full quotations. Peas moved off steadily, at quite previous currencies. The supply on offer was small. The flour trade was dull, and prices had a downward :endency, CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The marker for English wool is less firm, and the currencies are barely supported. Our reports from various parts of the country state that the clip, as yet, has urned out remarkably well. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEI. The supply of foreign beasts and calves here to-day, was very moderate—of sheep tolerably good. The latter from Germany were held at from 23s to 32s each. On the whole, sales progressed steadily, at fully last week's currency. There was a decided falling off in the arrival of home-fed beasts fresh up this morning ; but the quality of the stock was very good. Nearly all breeds commanded a steady sale, at an advance in the quotations compared with this day se'nnight, of 2d per 81bs, and at which a fair clearance was effected. The best Scots and crosses realised 4s 4d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,900 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds ; and from Scotland, 420 Scots and crosses, No beasts reached us from Ireland. The number of sheep on offer was seasonably good. The quality of most breeds was prime. On the whole, the mutton trade ruled firm, at prices fully equal to those realised on Monday last. Nearly the whole of the sheep were out of the wool ; consequently, our quotations now refer solely to shorn qualities. The best Downs and half breds realised quite 4s 8d per 81bs. Good and prime lambs sold steadily at full prices, but inferior breeds moved off slowly. The quotations ranged from 6s 4d to 8s per 81bs. About 800 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. Calves—the supply of which was moderate—met a steady sale, at last week's prices. The top figure was 5s 6d per 81bs. We have to report a dull inquiry for pigs, at previous currtncies.

Costa ................ Ch a ll oner . .... Custance. Exchequer ........ J. Osborne. Gemse A. Day. Snowden.bert -' Instructor Knight of the Bath Laughing Stock Marquis, The Nottingham Win grave The decline of Old Calabar origimted from the unsatis factory character of his performance in the Bennington Stakes, as well as from the little work he has done since, and has to a very great extent opened the Two Thousand, for it will not be denied that he was by far the lest public horse of last year, and justly occupied his pride of place in the betting. As is natural when great favourites for any race of importance are in technical language "knocked out," 36, i the most ungenerous suspicions are invariably indulged in 1469 3c to about a ll connec t e d w i t h them. On Saturday he was corn -s.O L pletely knocked out of the betting, as much as 10 to 1 having 162 been laid that he did not face the starter. [Since the fore • going remarks were written I have since learned that Old 9d Calabar was scratched at 11 45 this Forenoon.] Alvediston is now first favourite. A month ago I stated in The Sun that, owing to the shaky position of Old Calabar and The Marquis, it would be better to let them both alone and back Alvediston, as he was a thorough racehorse and was sure to see a short price. lie has acquitted himself in his trial to the entire satisfaction of his clever trainer, and in the hands of such an accomplished artiste as Fordham I fully anticipate his success. The Marquis comes as the winner of The Cham pagne at Doncaster and the Prendergast at Newmarket besides two stakes at Pontefract and one at Beverley. Among those that have succumbed to him have been Impe ratrice, winner of the Hopeful, Johnny Armstrong, Zetland, and Carisbrook; and with Neptunus, the winner of the Con • vivial at York, the Tyro at Liverpool, and the Sapling at Richmond, he ran a dead heat, mainly owing to his jockey having had a march stolen upon him. During the winter he was a good favourite, but upon being put into work in the spring, he showed a great deal of temper. This has been satisfactorily accounted for, and lately he has gone on so well as to allay any apprehensions that might have been entertained about him. Caterer, in the Findon Stakes at Goodwood, receiving slb from both Alvediston and Wingrave, only managed to beat them by a head, and that the Woodyates horse ought to have won was patent to everybody. Still, however, it must be borne in mind that Mr. Naylor's horse was out for the first time, and was besides shin-sore; while his defeat at York by The Pilot may be excused by the fact of his carrying 61b more thin Mr. Jackson's horse. So far as an opinion could last week be formed of him in his clothes, he appears to have grown but little and lengthened nothing, so I much question his ability to cover the ground so rapidly as will be necessary in this great contest. Nottingham has been knocked about by the betting men like a shuttlecock, and there is little doubt of his having been beaten in his trial with Man-at-Arms; but as he was asked to get before him at even weights, we are not sur prised at his having been easily defeated, He will no doubt acquit himself creditably in the great contest. Buckenham is certain to run a good horse, for his game ness is undeniable, and the course a ill be adapted to his stride and action. Wingrave ran a very long way in front of the lot in the Derby Trial Stakes far a horse that was not thoroughly up to the mark, and carrying a penalty. It is now thought the change in the distance, and the extra time Hayhoe will hare had with him, will enable him to cut a better figure. In this opinion I entirely agree, and expect to see the Baron's horse one of the first three at the finish, if he does not turn out the actual winner. It must not be forgot that last year he beat Alvediston at level weights. Ace of Clubs is a slashing fine horse, but comes of a family with an hereditary propensity for whistling. At one time he was a good deal fancied for the Derby, but lat terly he has gone quite out of favour. Carisbrook ran well in the Newmar ket with a heavy weight, and it would not surprise me to see him get a place. The colt by Stockwell has come with a rush into the market, having, in a trial, cleaned out all Lord Glasgow's lot. His lordship's success would be hailed with great satisfaction, but I am afraij the noble lord has nothing good enough in the stable to try his horses with for a race of this description. For Brasenose and Instructor I have no fancy. Argonaut, from Sir Joseph Hawley's stable, it is said, will help to swell the field, but in my opinion will be found wanting. lie has no right to be back.ed for the Derby. Having stated ray opinion of the different horses likely to take part in the race, it will be seen that my fancy points to ALVEDISTON, THE MARQUIS, or WINGEAVE, to furnish the winner, and I fully expect to see ALVEDISTON recorded the winner of the Two Thousand Guineas of 1862 The field for the One Thousand will comprise the greater number of the following : Probable Riders. Bertha A. Edwards. Black Pearl Bonny Breast-knot Cantiniere Ethel Express Gorse Hecate G. Fordham. Hurricane Ito perat rice Jung Frau S. Rogers. Lorelei E. Sharp. Olive Branch .. Repose Sappho Physalis filly Aldcroft, The race appears to be reduced to a match between BERTHA and IMPERATRICE ; the only other likely to in terfere with the success of one of them being Ethel. The Newmarket Stakes is a gift to Duke Rollo, and I have no doubt ho will come warm for the Derby, as I do not believe Sir Joseph Hawley has a better horse in his stable. A FRESH MAN.

For the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, 4 to 1 was of fered on the field. Any a d vance would have been taken about either The Marquis or Alvediston, and Caterer would have been supported at 13 to 2. It is difficult to make a quotation about Old Calabar. All prices were laid against h i m , from 16 to 1 to 66 to 1. At the close, as near as we cauld imdie out, his price was 50 to 1 (offered). Zetland was freely supported for the Derby at 100 to 6, and the same price was offered against The Marquis. For the Chester Cup, 5 to 1 was the highest offer on the field ; Fair water, who has figured as second favourite for some time past, receded to 25 to 1, and Simla to 50 to 1 (offered) 4 to 1 was offered on the field for the One Thousand Guineas, but little was done on that event.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO SEE TILE An order has been issued by the General commanding the Forces in Ireland to the different general officers command ing divisions, to allow one. - third of the officers of the several regiments under their command leave of absence, for the purpose of visiting the International Exhibition— the leave not to exceed one month.— United Service Gazette. LONDON RIFLE BRlGADE.—Lieutenant-Colonel Warde, the newly-aprointed commander, has issued a brigade order, with reference to the field-day at Brighton, stating that the general of division had expressed his warm approval of the manner in which the brigade executed all the manoeuvres on that occasion. The colonel also records his extreme satisfaction with the conduct of all ranks throughout the day, and concludes by declaring that he is proud to command the regiment. THE CORNISH FISHERIES.—The boats employed in the mackerel fishery at St. Ives have been very success ful, particularly those from the eastward, aad the price has been high. One daylast week upwards of 100,000 fish were landed, price 21s per 100 ; on another day 80,000 were caught, and sold at 22s per 100. Subsequently 75,000 were caught, and three boats took 5,000 each, price 20s per 100. So many mackerel landed in one week have scarcely ever been recollected by the oldest inhabitant. CAPTURE OF A STURGEON IN THE MEDWAY.— On Saturday last a fisherman, named Jenkins, while fishing in the river Medway, a short distance above Rochester bridge, succeeded in capturing a remarkably fine sturgeon, which on being brought to land was found to measure six feet in length, 29 inches in girth. and to weigh 721bs. By the ancient charters of the city, all sturgeons and certain other fish caught in the Medway are the prop-rty of the mayor and corporaticn of Rochester. The fish was accord ingly presented to the mayor, who immediately forwarded it by the principal water-bailiff as a present to her Majesty, the sturgeon being, what is termed, a royal fish. A paragraph has gone the round of the papers pretending to show the difference between the civil lists of the Queen and her predecessors, in which it is stated that William and Mary received £700,000, George H. £300,000, and George 111. £4000,000 annually, while William IV. had half a million, and the Queen has but £385,000. The difference in all these figures is more apparent than real. The civil list of George M. was charged with the salaries of ambassadors and all the judges. In the reign of George IV. these charges were separated from the personal income of the Sovereign. William IV. had the same allowance as the Queen, but with the addition of £50,000 a-year added for Queen Adelaide. The £30,000 a-year voted for the Prince Consort does not appear in the sum set down for the Queen. Where her Majesty really suffers in compa rison with her predecessors is in the loss of the private revenue of the Sovereign from the kingdom of Hanover. How much this amounted to was always kept a State secret, but there is to doubt it was something vary consi derable. It has been estimated at above £lOO,OOO a-year. —Court Journal. ETON COLLEGE.—The old adage, "There is many a slip between the cup and the lip," was never more truly verified than on Tuesday, in the appropriation of the vacant rectory of Worplesden, near Guildford, in Surrey, which had become vacant through the death of the Rev. Charles Luxmoro. It was generally understood that the College Chapter was to be held, merelyproforrna, to confirm the appointment of the Rev. Edward Coleridge, one of the Fellows, to the rectory, and that gentleman had considered he had sufficient reason to justify him in already making arrangements with the widow of the late rector for the purchase of the parsonage property belonging to her late husband, when, at the eleventh hour, the Rev. George John Dupuis threw up the living he previously held of Maple Durham, near Reading, of the value of about £l,OOO per annum, and claimed the preferment to Worplesden rectory, of the value of about L 1,200 per annum, as being the senior Fellow to the Rev. E. Coleridge. Consequently the latter gentleman takes the living of Maple Durham, instead of, as he had reason to calculate upon, the rectory of Worplesden- IMPORTANT TO PRINTERS.—On Thursday, the Ist inst., at the Nottingham Police C3urt, Wm. B u rnett, a machine and pressman, wa s c h arge d b e f or e the sitting magistrate with having left his situation without giving the fortnight's notice customary to the trade. It a ppeared that the defendant, who is "a soci e ty" m an, had been in the employ of Messrs. Sutton B ro th er s for some time past, and on the 26th of April he left, having only given notice of his intention to do so late on the Saturday night previous. Defendant stated that no contract was made when h e en _ tered Messrs. Sutton's employ- Mr. A. Sutton said th at when he engaged a man it was u nderstood that a fortnight's notice was to be given on either side. Had he wished to discharge the defendant he should not have done it w i t h out t between tw th e r e e n ug th h : adhering to the custom of the trade, whic h as to gi ve hi m a fortnight's notice. Th a t was the regular en rule out the trade. Mr. Cowley a pp eared for the defendant, an d r m be of opi n i on th a t written parties. He that hnped was that the week's notice which had alread y b een given, and the week's wages wageswehichthe defend an t h ad offered to Mr. Sutton, when h heard that a fort n i g h t ' s notice could only no i th e bench wouldag be considered satisfactory, would be sufficient to warrant them in recommending Mr. S u ti on and the defendant to settle the matter b y ar bitration. Mr. Sutton said his only object in bringing the case forward was to maintain the rules of the trade, or else h e m i ght b e subjected to much inconven i e nce. Ultimately the case was settled by the de fendant paying £3, a fortnight's wages, to Mr. Sutton, and 4s. 6d. the court expenses. Mr. Sutton returned the £3 to the defendant, SPOTTING .NOTES.

A letter from Alexandria, dated April 25, says —The Suez Canal Company have lately been en abled, by means of the large supply of men obtained from the Government, to push on their operation s with greater activity. They have at the present moment, according to the information I have re ceived from a gentleman who has just returned front the Isthmus, in forced labour about 22,000 men, an d about 1,500 volunteers. The intention is to raise the number of labourers to 40,000 men if the Govern ment can be induced to grant them. At present the work is almost entirely concentrated upon the cutting to be made through the sand heights of El Djisr, and the engineers of the company promise that the rigole de service, or small ele.. mentary canal, will, within the next, two months, convey the water of the Mediterranean into the basin of Lake Timaah. This canal, it will be remembered, is about 15 feet wide and about 18 inches in depth. The portion of the rigole constructed through Lake Menzaleh last year has been almost entirely obliterated. Some 22 dredg ing machines are shortly to be at work excavating the canal on the full scale, and with strong embank ments. At Port Said some of the iron piles lately driven into the sea for the purpose of forming a small stone islet on the line of the proposed western jetty have, after a severe storm, been either bent or else they have given way in their foundations, and the cross iron tie-bars have been broken a•,va3•. These skeleton frames of iron are intendrA, to be filled with large blocks of stone, to be irought for the purpose from the quarries of Mex, near Alex andria. The wooden jetty t);at projects from the shore, and wilieh is constructed with wooden piles filled in with stone, has not been injured by the late storm. It will be seen from the above that very much, in fact, almost everything, still remains to be done, and, as the annual meeting of the shareholders takes place at Paris on the Ist of next month, we shall very shortly have a statement of the expendi ture that has been incurred up to the present. Whe ther the project will or will not be brought to a successful termination is, of course, entirely a ques tion of money and men. Where these can be ob tained in sufficient abundance it can hardly be said that the accomplishment of any work whatc-feer is beyond the skill of modern engineering. But there is clearly room for the strongest doubt that the capital subscribed by the company will be sufficient to effect the object, and when it is exhausted it is difficult to see whence another supply will be obtained, especially as the improbability of the canal, even if made, ever paying or being of any practical use must become more and more apparent. It is not unlikely also that it will presently be dis covered that the Isthmus of Suez is, after all, not a weak point dans la euirasse Anglaise. TVA IS AND MEANS.

Mr. Philip had had to work for his, in care and trouble, like other children of men—to work for it, and I hope to pray for it, too. It is a thought to me awful and beautiful, that of the daily prayer, and of the myriads of fellowmen uttering it, in care and in sickness, in doubt and in poverty, in health and in wealth. Panent nostrum da nobis hodte. Phil.p whispers it by the bedside where wife and child lie sleeping, and goes to his early labour with a stouter heart : as he creeps to his rest when the day's labour is over, and the quotidian bread is earned, and breathes his hushed thanks to the bountiful Giver of the meal.
