The members of the present Royal Family seem to no determined to see the world. The Prince of Wales is in Turkey, Prince Alfred is in Australia, and Prince Arthur is in Ireland. To begin with the eldest, the reception of the Prince of Wales and his wife by the Sultan seems to have rather startled some of our contemporaries. Only in the " Arabian Nights" (says the Times) could a parallel be found for the descrip tion of the reception. All the scenes of Asiatic imagery are here reproduced. Splendid palaces, glittering retinues, brilliant jewels, ravishing music, exquisite repasts, and obsequious slaves—all placed with Oriental hospitality at the command of the visitor—form the familiar figures of the narrative. The strangers clap their hands, and swarthy attendants appear with trays of gold and silver plate, rich fruits, dazzling gyms, and dainty sweetmeats. Abroad an ever-ready cavalcade of plaids, carriages for the streets, and caiquee for the stream bespeak the solicitude of the Imperial host. But all these magnificent attentions sink into nothing compared with the compliments offered by the Sultan hin,self. Ln honour of his royal visitors, the Commam7er of the Faithful gave a dinner and went to a ball. If that seeing Lut a small matter, let the reader understand that no dinner was ever given at the Turkish Court before. The Emperor of the Ottomans broke through the traditional etiquette of the Sublime Porte for the sake of his illustrious guests, and stepped boldly out of the circle to which the ceremonial of his rank had confined him. But though these incidents may be the most interesting, they are not the most instructive parts of the story. A change has come over the Turks and their capital. With just enough of the old Asiatic fashions to give picturesqueness to the scene, there were mingled very evident signs of innovation and progress. The Turkish infantry carry breech-loading rifles ; the artillery have Armstrong guns ; heavy iron clads are afloat in the Bosphorus; and it is said that the Sultan could put 800,000 men in the field. Constanti nople has become a well-managed city. The gas service is good, the water supply abundant, the police force well organised. The relics of the Byzantine Empire have well-nigh disappeared, the ancient walls of the city are marked for destruction, and it is only within the precincts of the old Imperial Palace that monuments of the past are still standing. The Duke of Edinburgh seemed as popular in his second as in his first visit to Australia. The South Australian Advertiser thus describes the visit to the colony :—" On Monday, February 15, Adelaide was subjected to a double excitement through the arrival of the Galatea with his Royal highness the Duke of Edinburgh, and the mail steamer with Sir James Fergusson, the new Governor. Sir James and Lady Edith Fergusson had taken their passages for Melbourne, but came THIS DAY. - +-- WESTMINSTER. direct to Adelaide on hearing that the Duke was on his way from Perth. The Galatea anchored off the Semaphore, and his Royal Highness, in excellent health and spirits, was brought to Adelaide in Colonel Hamley's, the then acting governor's, carriage. On his arrival he was received with hearty cheers from the crowds that bad assembled at Government House gate. On the same evening the Duke attended at the Theatre Royal to witness the performance of "Caste," Sir James Fergus son and Lady Edith, Colonel and Mrs. Hamley were present. It was the opening night of the season, and the reception given to his Royal Highness and the new governor was most enthusiastic. On Tuesday morning the Prince was present at the Town Hall to witness the swearing in of Sir James Fergusson. On Wednesday evening the Duke honoured with his presence the colonist's ball. There were from 500 to 600 present, and the ball was a very success ful one. On Thursdaymorning his Royal Highness laid the first stone of the Sailors' Home. In the evening he dined at the Adelaide Club, and subsequently met several hun dred guests at a party given at Government House. On Friday the Duke drove to the Old Adelaide Race course, on the East-park Lands, where special races had been got up in honour of his_ visit. The day had been proclaimed a public holiday, and there were not less than 8,000 or 9,000 people present. Shortly after 5 o'clock the Prime° left the ground admidst a perfect hurricane of cheering, as a farewell. Without delay he proceeded by special train to the port, and boarded the Galatea. Early on Saturday morn'ng the vessel steamed away. During the whole of the Duke's stay the injunc tions of the Colonial Secretary, that there should be no public demonstrations, were scrupulously adhered to. It must have been with no little misgiving that Prince Arthur was sent to the south of Ireland. The enthusiastic reception given to the Prince in the south has proved a most agreeable surprise. his Royal Highness has been amply rewarded for the confidence which he reposed in the generous feeling of the people. They have welcomed him with heartiness as the first pledge of their sovereign's personal interest in this country, and with the hope that his visit will be followed at no distant day by one from the Queen herself. The name of the Patron Saint has exercised an irresistible charm. The people of Tipperary at once boldly detached it from the others, acknowledging his Royal Highness only as Prince Patrick. The only demonstrations of disloyalty which have at all marred the enjo3 went of the Prirce have proceeded from the weather, which did its utmost On Thursday to play into the Lauds of the Fenians. It had been arranged that deputations should proceed to Thomastown Castle to present addresses of welcome to his Royal II ighne:s from the local bodies. 'the elements poured a destructive torrent upon the pr.( parations. But rain is not an unusual visitor in these pars, and however fierce an aspect the climate may assume, it does not easily frighten the " boys," who know its ways and how to manage it. Deputations from the Tipperary Poor-law Union and Town Commissioners had resolved to pay their res pects to the Prince, and they set about fulfilling their purpose without being very much concerned, by the state of the atmosphere. At 12 o'clock a train of vehicles more remarkable for their utility than their elegance arrived in front of the Castle. The Count de Jarnac gave their occupants a most courteous and hearty reception when the first deputation alighted, and conducted them to the drawing-room, where the Prince, the Countess de Jarnac and her daughter, together with Colonel Elphinstone and Mr. Pickard, were in waiting to receive them. His Royal Highness had displayed on his breast the badge of the Order of St. Patrick. Then came the presentation of ad dresses couched in the usual style, and receiving verymuch like the usual reply. During the presentation the weather moderated a little, and the Prince, having encased him self in a grey overcoat of Waterford frieze, expressed his willingness to brave any possible return of its inclemency, and keep an appointment which had been made for a visit to Cashel. H s p n of the native costume en deared him still more to t' e lcd representatives of Tipp _Tary. They hailed tLe Prince in his gray frieze coat as indeed a coma' ynrsn. Here was a visible embodiment of national sympathy more expressive than a dozen speeches. Their loyal patriotism received a fresh impulse, and they determined to give utterance to their feelings. The first idea was to draw up in line in the hall and give it to him as he passed out. Fortunately for the nerves of the inmates of the Castle, they thought it better to await the Prince outside and give it in the open air. The Prince, who was unconscious of the great honour reserved for him, soon appeared in front, and was greeted with a variety of startling ejaculations. A chariot was in waiting to convey his Royal Highness to Cashel, and as he started off the baud of the Tipperary Militia played the National Anthem. There was then another address from the Cashel municipal authorities. "The inhabitants," said the document, "respectfully accord you a hearty welcome to our city and to St. Patrick's Rock, delighted to see Prince Patrick tread the hallowed soil on which the patient Unghus bled, and joyful to recognise the interest in our country which induced you to visit the venerable monuments of our ancient grandeur, to view the royal residence of the Kings of Munster in the olden time, to admire the body of Comae's stone-roofed shrine, and to scan the form and proportions of the tower reared by our ancestors in past ages." After replying, of course, in suitable terms, the Prince went to do what he had been invited to do. The Rock of Cashel was examined, the cathedral visited, and the shrine of Cormac admired. Then came some races, to which a stop was put, however, by the rain. At night a grand ball was given at Thomastown Castle in honour of the Prince's visit. It was attended by a select assemblage of the gentry. His Royal Highness left the Castle the next day for Cahir, en route for Lismore. A story is told of a man who inEured in London one thousand cigars, valued at £4), againa fire and water. After the lapse of six months he made his appearance at the insurance office and demanded his money, as the cigars had been burned. " But not on board the vessel, sir ?" said the secretary, " for she is in the dock now." " Yes, on board the vessel. I smoked them, and therefore burned them all myself, and the insurance says ' against fire.' " The secretary was taken aback, but told the smoker to call again next day. He called at the appointed time, but was met by the solicitor of the company, who told him that if he did not relinquish his claim he would be prosecuted as one who had knowingly and wil fully set fire to goods insured by the company.—Baltt»zore Underwriter. LIBERAL DEMONSTRATION AT CAMBRIDGE.— Arrangements have been coin pleted for a Liberal demonstra• tion, on a large scale, at Cambridge, to celebrate the triumph of the Liberal party of the late election for the borough. A grand banquet will be held at the Guildhall, on Wednes day, May 5, at which the borough members, Messrs. Torrens and Fowler, and a number of celebrities will be present. It is thought that this will be a larger gathering than on the occasion of any political demonstration within the borough since the Reform Bill. Advantage will be taken of the proceedings to present a testimonial to Mr. Patrick Beales, on his retirement, after a long period of zealous and active service, from the leaggship of the Harty. THE CASE OF " BEIVJAIIIIII 7 BIGGS." At judges' chambers, this morning, before Mr. Justice Brett, the case of Kirhl v. Higgs was beard. This was an interpleader sum mons by the Sheriff of Middlesex, levied at Tide End House, Teddington, where the notorious delinquent Benjamin Higgs kept a fine establishment. The plaintiff had ob tained judgment and levied au execution, but just before the levy the Guarantee Society entered and sold a portion of the property, which s.►le was stopped by the execution creditor, and several claimants then appeared, and Mr. Hall (Burchell and Hall) the under-sheriff, then took out :at inter pleader summons to know what was to be done with the property. Mr. Justice Brett said the Guarantee Society had no claims. They had sol 1, they s id, to Mr. Parks, and he now said he was no purchaser. (Laughter.) hlis Lordship barred the claims. The Sherif: will resume the sale for the execution creditor, and litigation is likely to spring up in this notorious case. ARREST OF A BASK M.L.V.I GER. Mr Samuel Greenaway Finney, of (lice s)ury Lodge, Elstree, Herts, agel 55, was brought up at the Mansion House this morning, before the Lord Mayor, upon a warrant, by S.:rgeant Spittle of the City Detective Police, charged for thAt he during the month of December, 1865, iu the City of London, then being manager of a certain public company, called the English Joint-Stock Bank (Limited), unlawfully, and with intent to de fraud did make, and conceal in making, divers false entries, and did insert certain particulars in certain books of account belonging to the company, with intent to defraud. Mr. G. Lewis conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Straight, the barrister, appeared for the defendant. Mr. G. Lewis was opening the case when we went to press. POLICE IN TELLIG EN CE.-7 his Day. BRUTAL OUTRAGE r PON A WOMAN.—Daniel Goller, a young man, was charged with the following brutal assault upon a woman. Catherine Reeve, a young woman, ono of whose eps was closed, Ana who had other contusions, said--Last night, at twenty minutes to eleven, I was standing outside a public house in the King's-road, Chelsea, when the defendant came up and save me a back-handed slap across the face. He struck me on the back and took away my breath, and while I was in that state he knocked two of my teeth out. He then struck me a , ;ain twice in the jaw, and also gave me other blows. A policeman came, and I then gave him in charge. Mr. Selfe Did you give him any provocation ? Frosecutrix—Not the least of any description. The young woman then explained that an intimacy had previously existed between them which had been broken off shortly before Christmas. She had not seen him before for three months. Defendant said she had done him a great injury, which he resented in the manner described. Mr. Selfe committed him for two months to hard labour. 103 110 140 140 ISCELLANEOUS. 10 Anglo-3lexican Mint - all 151 161 25 Australian Agricultural 2Ol 151 161 25 Australian Mort.

Batger, the wholesale manufac turers of confectionery and sweetmeats, in Broad-street, Batcliff, was charged with attempting to commit suicide in the Thames. John Standen, a police-constable, No. 490 K, was on duty in High-street. Shadwell, and was informed that a man had attempted to commit suicide by drowning himself in the Thames at Bell-wharf stairs. He went there and saw the prisoner seated on the lower step of a teer-house drenched, and the water dripping from him. A sailor said the prisoner jumped into the river and that ho pulled him out. Dry clothing was provided, and the prisoner was made as comfortable as was consis tent with his safe custody. The prisoner said he certainly got into the water and was saved by a sailor, but he never intended to commit suicide. Ho preferred life and the sweets of Missepatgers' establishm .at, where he received liberal pay and good treatment, to making himself a cold, miserable corpse. He got a little drop to') much on Saturday night, not of water, but a stronger and more potent drink, and some 11 en le to annoy him.

DAItING ROBBER IC IN Tit I.; DOCKS.—Daniel Lynch, 35, lighten - Ilan, and John Berry, 25, cooper, wero charged with stealing a large quant:ty of rope in Uri 14)ndon Docks. The prisoners were seen by a Dock constable, named George 3lerr.tt, in a Loat in the tobacco d'mk. The t , o:it contained ropu, and they came ashore with it, and were captured. Both prisoners sqid a man gave them the rope. A porti,,n of it was identified by Captain Arthur Fitz gerald Helps, the master of ship Chalmers. It had been taken out of his long boat on deck. 'There were two check ropes which the dock men had long used to guide ships with in the loat. It had been removed from one of the quays. The value of all the rope in the boat was es. only. Mr. Paget committed the prisoners for trial. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. A GENERAL ROBBED BY HIS VALET. —SERIOUS CHARGE. —Harry Leonard, valet to General W. Maule Ramsey, of 32, 3t. James's-street, was charged before \lr. Tyrwnitt with ate ling a set of diamond studs of the value of £l3O, and other property belonging to his master. Alfred Addley, assistant to Mr. Attenborough, pawn broker, of No. 36, Piczadilly, said that on Saturday even ing the prisoner offered a set of diamond studs in pledge, asking £2 10s. on them. On asking how he came pos sessed of them he said they were given to him two years ago by a woman, and that he had not wanted money before. Seeing that they were of the value of about £lOO he stopped the prisoner and took him to the station, and on the way he tried to get away. General W. Maude Ramsey, of No. 32, St. James-street, identified the studs as his property, and said—l saw the studs safe about a month ago in my jewel case. The studs are of the value of about £l3O. The prisoner was in my service as valet. By Mr. Tyrwhitt —I have lost a great deal of other property, another set of studs, hunting boots, Sc. By Mr. Tyrwhitt—None of the property was locked up, as I had great trust in him. Beechey, a plain-clothes officer of the C division, said he had traced a large quantity of property which had been taken by the prisoner. General Ramsey-1 have ascertained that he has been pledging property since August last. The value of the other property is about £5O. George Brown, assistant to Mr. Thos. Attenborough, pawnbroker, of Piccadilly, produced two pins and other articles pledged on Saturday afternoon by the prisoner. John Frederick Hones, assistant to ➢lr. Bartrutn, Picca dilly, produced a quantity (if wearing apparel pledged by the prisoner. Inspector Pay—The prisoner said ho supposed he had better tell him all about it, as he could not be anything worse done to, and that the property belonged to General Ramsey, that he was his valet, and that he wanted to make up .£5, in consequence of a publican pressing him for it. By Mr. Froggatt—He said he meant to go to a friend and get some money and redeem the things. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. .111 A RICE? S-2 111 S D.IY Y. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. April 19.—Sales probably 8,000 bales. The market quiet. MARK-LANE. At Mark-lane this morning there was a fair but not large attendance of the trade. English wheat met with a slow sale at last Monday's barely sustained prices. • Fo reign sold heavily in retail parcels only. Flour was dull of sale, but factors would make no further concession. [ADVERTISEMENT.J—Henceforth no one will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revslento. Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from Invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the "Gazette du Midi," July 25th:—" Rome, July 21, 1866. The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Ilevalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly."

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Royal assent was given to the Brazilian Slave-trade Bill, the Railway Companies Bill, the East India Canal and Irrigation, and several other bills. THE CORONATION OATH'. The Earl of REDESDALE asked if the Governmen proposed to make any alterati.in in the Coronation Oat]: or to introduce any bill in relation thereto before the bill now he'ore the other lonise came up for discussion. , E,rl GRANVILLE said the Government believ.,l that the oath was impo zed on the Sovereign in its executivo and not in its legislative cipacity, and therefore no legisla tion was necessary. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF CONMONS.—Tnrs EVENING. no SPEAKER took the chair at •I SMOKING ON RAILWA YS. Mr. F. rt. SHERIDAN . , who had on a former evening sneceeded in getting tie conient of the house to a clause insetted in the Met opolitan District Rail way Bill, on the further cousideratiou of the Metropolitan Railway Bill, moved the nsertion of a similar c:ause in the Metropolitan District Railways. Mr. BRIGHT said he had heard the opinion of the direc tors.wiLh resp,xt to the resolution which ha I been passed the other evening, and taking their opinion, with the fact that the abstinenc, from tobacco s•noke could only be for a short time, he hoped the house would attach a proper value of the representation of the directors. lf, however, the hon. member pressed his clause to a division ho should give his vote against it. Mr. C. BESTINCK supported the clause, and Mr. T. CHAMBERS opposed it. The house divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it . lBB Majority against th e clause --21 NEW MEMBER. The Earl of MARCH took the oath and irs seat for West Sussex, in the room of Mr. H. Wyndham, now Lord Leconfield. CITURCH LEASES. Mr. FORT ESCUE, in reply to Dr. Ball, said the atten tion of the Government had been directed to the report of the Irish Church Commissioners in favour of lessening the price of purchasing the perpetuity of church leases. The matter had beau carefully considered, and it seemed to be the general opinion that if the subject was to be dealt with it would be better to have direct legislation rather than include it in the present bill. ELECTION PETITIONS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND, in reply to Viscount St. Lawrence, said the judgments on the Irish election petitions would be printed. LEASES IN IRELAND. Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Sir L. Palk, said ho could not at the present moment my what course was intended to bo proposed with respect to leases granted by bishops or the ecclesiastical commissioners having more than 10 years to run. When they had made some further progress in tho bill ho would state what would be done in the matter. VAGRANCY, Mr. GOSCHEN, in rtply to Mr. Hunt, said he thought the present state of the law with respect to vagrancy. He did not, however, think there would bo time during the present session to legislate on the subject, but if it could be taken into consideration it woul I be of the utmost advan tage. He however did not think it was possible to do any thing until next session. 'BRANDING SOLDIERS. Mr. CARD WELL said his attention had been directed to a letter which appeared in one of the daily papers to the effect, " that a soldier suffering from consum2- tion or any other disease, whereby he was incapacitated from continuing iu her Majesty's service, could not be discharged till he had been subjected to the operation of cross-cupping." The statement was not cor rect. He had made inquiries, and, as he might have ex pected, he found that cupping was never resorted to unless as a remedy for the disease. THE HORSE DUTY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was not intended to do away with the exemption is favour of horses employed in the yeomanry or agriculture. MONUMENTS IN IRELAD. Mr. LA YARD said the First Commissioner of Works had no jurisdiction in Ireland, but if the national monu merits in that country were placed under his care be would gladly accept the duty. THE IRISH CHURCH. The house then went into committee on thiS bill. Clauses 3 to 9 inclusive, which related to the appoint.. ment of the Church Commissioners, were postponed on the motion of Mr. GLADSTONE. On clause 10, which prohibited further appointments to benefices in the Irish Church,. Mr. !TARDY said, in the absence of his right hon. friend the member for Buckinghamshire, who was too unwell to attend in his place that evening, ho had to move an amend ment he made in the clause which extended the time until 1872, as the time at which apppointments might be made. Dr. BALL said the passim; of that bill would render new marriage laws for Ireland necessary, and therefore it would be well to accept the amontiment proposed. The amendment was opposed by thepovernmeut, and after a brief discussion it was withdrawn. On clause 12, Mr. GAT HORNE HARDY moved the substitution o the words "1872" for " 1871." The house divided— For th • clause 11:ainst it Majority -;p; The result was receivcd with loud cheers froln the 11,nches. 01 .191 LEFT SITIING. I TIIE TaAGEDY IN THE 0172. A DDITIONA T. PARTIC I7L ATV, (TIES DAY.) This dreadful tragedy appears to excite still greater in terest than it did either on Saturday or yesterday, and far ther investigations have brought to light th it the unfor tunate female who was the fi:st victim was not named Talian as reported in the morning papers, but Stallion. She was the widow of a highly respectable mechanic, and for many years in the employment of Messrs. Poutifex the well-known coppersmiths, of Shoe-lane. The state meat that she bed born four children by the suicide awl murderer is incorrect, she having only three children, who were left by her late husband living with her, and one boy apprenticed at the above-named firm, who, we are in formed by the lad's uncle, took one apprentice beyond their usual number entirely out of respect to his late father. The friends also state that the accounts of Mrs. Stallion's habits of intemperance have been much exaggerated, and they have every reason to believe that the fearful deed was committed by Tillett in revenge for her having resisted his advances and refused to share with him the money she was in the habit of receiving. The unfortunate boy, described as ono of Tillett's sons, and who suffered seven days' imprisonment for tome youthful indiscretion a few days ego, was not Tillett's son, but one of the poor woman's late husband's, who diud in March, 1861. Up to a late period Mrs. Stallion had borne the character amongst her own friends and family as being a very hard working and steady woman, and if she had lately given way to any little excesses they would ba attributed entirely to anxiety of mind caused by the delay of realising the little property left by her late husband for the benefit of the children. INQUEST - (THIS DAY.) This afternoon Mr. Payne, City Coroner, held an in quest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital respecting the deaths of Leonard Tillett and Harriet Stalion, who were found dead at 33, Fleet-lane on Saturday last. Detective Smith said that on Friday afternoon he was called to the house No. 33, Fleet-lane. He there found in the front floor room the two bodies of the deceased man and woman. In a cupboard he found a razer. A boy, aged 10, told witness that ho had put it there. That boy Tillett's son. The boy had entered the room first. The Coroner read the following letter, which was found in the coat pocket of Tillet :—" I have done a foul deed because she took Pickering, a married man, and used to go with him, and his wife knew it, and that is through hOw it was done. May the Lord have mercy on my soul. Amen ; so good bye to this world." Harriet Stalion, a girl aged 17, said that bet mother had refused to marry Tillet. Wi'nesi3 thought that he was mad because he threatened to kill her mother. Alfred Stalion, son of the deceased woman, said that he was sent to Holloway gaol for stealing some cigars. On Saturday morning Mr. Picke-ing, Mrs. Pickering, his mother, and Mrs. Rawlinson came in a cab to see him come out of gaol. Tillet met them and rode on the top of the cab. They all stopped at a public-house near the Cattle market. They afterwards went to Fleet-lane. His mother then gave witness a shilling for a pot of beer and a quartern of gin. When witness returned he saw Tillet trying to hold her down upon the bed. Tillet always appeared to wit ness to be in his right senses. He said, I will do for you and myself too.";,The witness did not state when he heard Tillet say that. Thomas Pickering said that he went on Saturdry morn ing to Holloway Gaol to see the boy disaharged from pri son. He rode in a cab with his wife, Mrs. Rawlinson, and Mrs. Stalion. Tillet rode on the box. Coming home they stopped at public-houses and had some drink. They were not under the influence of drink. By the Coroner—lf the deceased had been in his right mind he would not have been jealous of witness. There was no improper intimacy between witness and Mrs. Stalion. On Friday Tillet knew that witness was going in the cab on Saturday morning. The jury, after some deliberarion, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against. Tillett for the murd3r of the woman Stalion, and a verdict of " Felo do so" in the case of the self-murderer. THE EX-RAILWAY KING.—The result of the final appeal on the long litigation between the North-Eastern Railway Company and Hr. George Hudson was to confirm the reversal of the decision of the Master of the Rolls, and reduces Mr. Hudson to a state of penury. He is now in France, said to be utterly destitute. In addition to a sub scription to meet present wants, and in:the belief that the " Railway Bing" was as much "sinned against as sinning," a large shareholder has intimated his intention to ask his co-partner in the North-Eastern Company to grant to Mr. Hudson an annuity of £2OO a year. An interesting dis cussion is looked for at the next general meeting, and =AY believe the feeling will be in favour of the project. TATTERSALL'S—This Evening.

After the fall of Will Oats the principal market busi ness of the week has been the support given to Pretender, who has remained firm at 4 to 1 and 5 to 1 all through. The Duke of Beaufort has been very firm at 7 to 2, though the demonstration in favour of Pretender has somewhat weakened his position. The Drummer has been backed at 7 to 1, and 100 to 15, but before the break-up at the Victoria Club on Friday a gentleman who is usually identified with the stable interest took six fifties. Frequent inquiries were made after Martyrdom, who would have met with substantial support had 100 to 7 been forthcoming. Tasman, even before his defeat at Newmarket, was friendless at 100 to 6. and nothing is heard of him now. The Cheater Cup was chiefly noticeable for the continued support accorded to The ./Egean, and a renewal of confidence in Paul Jones, about whom nine fifties were accepted by a well known owner and backer of horses. Fair Wind was in fair request at 100 to 8. At 33 to 1 Vansittart was occa sionally nibbled at, but the layers would have gone on at those odds. The Wild Oats affair is still the topic of conversation in'sporting circles. There is no doubt that the horse is gone once for all. His place in the quotations will know him no more. With respect to Belladrum, opinions once more vary, but his place in the Two Thousand betting remains 7 to I—a price which would never be offered if the " pencil men" did not know what they were about. A training note from Lambourne states that he has been doing work—gallops of a mile and a mile and a quarter, and that he is certain to start. The fieldsmen, however, make mistakes sometimes, as witness Hermit and Blue Gown. There are meetings at Croydon, Lewes, Eastbourne, and Cardiff this week, but the Croydon and Lewes races wi:l attract most attention, as few bookmakers will travel as fur as Cardiff. On Tuesday and Wednesday there will be an immense number of sportsmen at Lewes, as a well filled programme has been issued. Scout, if brought on to try conclusions for the 100 Soya Sweepstakes, will win, but in his absence commend me to Ironstone or Cordicil laire. Epworth, from his Brotnley poi formance, ought to secure the Welter Cup, and the Town Plate by Drewitt's best. The Two-yr old Plate will be carded off by St. Leoiards or the Nelly Bill c On the second day the principal raeJ will be the Spring. handicap Plate, for which Epwo th, 4 yrs, 8:t , 11b ; Viridis, 5 yrs, fist 21b; Laird of Scut land, 4 yrs, 7.st 11 b; Uataline.. yrs, 7st id ; Choral, 4 3 rs, 7st 7lb ; Black Diamond, 4 yrs, 7st; Bretby, 3 yrs, Gst 121 b ; the gelding by Weatlierbit, out of St. Agnes, 3 yrs, Gst ; Amster, 3 yrs, Gst 71b; Spider, 3 yrs, Gst 7113 ; Peninsula, 4 yrs, 6:t slb ; and Workman, a yrs, oat Utlb, are bkely to be foni.il at the post. The best of this lot I take to bi Epwoith, and, in his absence, 1-11,d1 trust to Drowitt's representative, either Choral or Work man. The Croydon Grand National Hurdle lace should be won by Orne or Barnabo, and the Grand Open Steeple chase looks a moral for Globule or Steanib A FRESH MAN. GREAT CENTRAL GAS COMPANY. The utmost dissatitfaction is expressed by share holders in the Great Central Gas Company at the uncertainty and ignorance iu which they are kept with regard to the extent, and other particulars, of the astounding frauds committed by Benjamin Higgs. Soon after the first news of these losses transpired, their amount was put down by common report at £40,000 or £50,000; then £lOO,OOO, and even £150,000 were named; and within the last day or two, alarmed . shareholders write to the press asking, in almost frantic tones, if there can possibly be truth in a report which has been put into circulation, that the extent of the depreda tions reaches from £150,000 to £200,000. The n►atter presents the widest possible scope for the exercise of the imagination, for it is an extraordinary fact that all attempts, whether on the part of the proprietors or the press, to obtain information from the company's officials have been met by the most studied reti cence and reserve. Unhappily frauds of this de scription, and of equal or even larger, amount, are not without precedent in oar joint-stock com panies' annals, but on all previous occasions of the sort the directors, whose neglect has rendered the losses possible, have hastened to make such amends as they could, by putting forth prompt explanations as to the extent of the deficiency, the manner in which it has occurred, and the plans whereby the emergency is to be met. To the directors of the Great Central Gas Company it has been reserved to exhibit that practical contempt of the sufferings and anxieties of ,their consti tuents which appears to be indicated by an ab solute and complete withholding of all informa tion. Instances are mentioned in which leading shareholders have visited the company's offices, and insisted vehemently upon their right, as partners, to know the state of their property, but it is said [that in all cases the attempt has been fruitless, and that, baffled by their own servants, shareholders have been driven hither and thither, and forced to seek in all sorts of unreliable quar ters for the information by which their interests are so closely affected. From the office of the company not a sign has been made, nor a single word issued, beyond the bold intimation that a general meeting of the company is convened for the 30th inst. If the directors imagine that the irritation on the part of their shareholders is likely to be in any degree appeased by this extraordinary silence, the proceedings on the 30th aro likely to undeceive them. The following circular was on Saturday issued to the supporters of Government in the House of Commons: "Certain Divisions.—The Committee on the Irish Church Bill will be proceeded with on Monday, the 19th April. Early, frequent, and most important divisions are expected upon the amendments in committee, and your support and attendance in the House of Commons are very speci ally requested." The Earl of Glasgow, though not, like his late distin guished relative, a supporter of racing, is attached to yachting, and has, we notice, been elected commodore of the Royal Northern Yacht Club for the ensuing year. His lordship is the owner of the screw steamer Valetca. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.—MRS. S. A.
