21101V.E.F MA 12 1 1 N.EIVS. SHARE CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The progress of business in the manufacturing districts during the past week has been extremely satisfactory ; at Leeds there have been extensive dealings in woollen cloths for the home trade, and several large buyers have been in the market for the United States and Canada. Most of the manu facturers are fully employed, and prices generally have an improved tendency. At Manchester less activity has prevailed, owing to the advices by the overland mail. India goods, however, maintain their previous values, and in yarns there has been a rather active inquiry for the various German mar kets. For the home demand a fair amount of busi ness has been done, at fully late values. Wools and yarns at Bradford have been at advanced quotations, and some inquiry has been experienced for piece goods. At Halifax spinners are well occupied, and piece goods show a decided improvement. The hosiery trade at Leicester continues brisk in all its branches, but the transactions in lace at Notting ham are limited. A considerable improvement has taken place in the general state of trade in South Staffordshire. There has been a better demand for iron, and at Birmingham most of the staple trades of the town show a decided amelioration. At Sheffield and Wolverhampton the home demand has been inactive, but orders for the United States have been received which have given fair employ ment to most of the operatives. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed quietly, but prices were well supported. The sales were estimated at 7,ooabales. There is no alteration in the condition of the Money Market, and the commercial community are enabled to supply their wants on exceedingly easy terms. The best bills, home and foreign, are negotiated at 21 per cent.—the Bank minimum— and in some cases accommodation is granted d per cent. below that quotation. About £.52,000 in gold was taken from the Bank on Saturday for exportation. Several arrivals are likely to take place during the next few weeks, which will tend to satisfy the requirements of the bullion dealers, although they may not prevent occasional withdrawals from the national establish• went. Remittances amounting to £366,080 have been announced, viz., £282,000 by the Lincolnshire from Victoria, and £84,080 by the Arabia from America. A company has been formed for the purchase of the extensive brick and cement works of the late Mr. Thomas Cubitt, on the Medway. It ,is expected to prove a profitable investment. The company is limited, with a capital of £lOO,OOO, In 20,000 shares of £5 each, 10s. per share being Paid on application. • A dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. is proposed by the directors of the English, Scottish, and Aus tralian Chartered Bank. The English Stock Market opened this morning ' with an improved appearance, owing to a rise in the Paris "Bourse, but the transactions both real and speculative were limited.

Oliver took her benefit at this pretty and well :conducted theatre on Saturday last. The house was owded, and the front rows of the dress circle were con .rted into stalls. The effective little farce of the " Bonnie -1.18 . Wife " which owes its great success and popularity rnaim Ll.y to the admirable acting of Miss Oliver, was revived the occasion, and created as much laughter as on the Wight of its prod uc ti on. The floral ovation must have exhausted Covent. Garden Markdt. RIPPOPOTAMO-INFANTICIDE AT THE JARDIN DES PLANTES. Net withstanding all the prepa re ti ons wh i ch had be en made, th e hi ppopotamus b orn a few days back died the night before last. The birth took place in the water. The female by her movements signified a desire to go into the basin, and the mom en t th e 4 °r was open she plun ge d i n , an d i mme di ate l y after I I he was delivered under water, and the little one in stantly came to the surface, and began to swim about On the fo rmer occas i on the female hippopota llue repulsed her offspring, would never let it suck or come near her, and in pushing it away violently inflicted a wound which caused its death. This tune e verything app eare d to be gong on more you rs ris fav ourably. Th e mother gave nourishment to the g one, and allowed it to lie on her back and neck, according to the habit of those aquatic ani -11144. She also remained contantly in the water instead of as usual frequently leaving it. For a s pace of abouty forty-three hours the two animals :l ev er' quitted the water. The day before yester bay the little one began to walk in and out of the I , a sin. It fed well, and was visibly growing. ''hring the night, however, the mother was seized With a sudden fit of rage and attacked it. "It is an extraordinary fact," says M. I. G. St. Hilaire, " that the females of those mammiferous animals abandon their young, ill-treat, and even devour thorn. But i t is almost without example that when ththe Mother has adopted the young one• and given osek, it should do so. It is true, however, that' is no animal more irascible and brutal than the hippopotamus." The event having occurred under water and in the night, the keeper was not able to give a very full account of what took place, but the results ere but too clear. The mother must have seized the young one by the stomach in her formidable jaws, as five deep marks of her teeth are -visible, and she must also have attacked it with her Lusk) which pierced the left breast into the lungs. Two young ones having been fo rth since th e an i mals have been aalready brought t the Jardin des Plantes, hopes are entertained that in f our t een Mouths m ore there may be a third, and it is n ow evid en t t h at the m other cannot be dep .as ended °n to nourish her offspring, care will be taken to i mmediately remove the offspring and bring it up by artifici a l means.

CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were 'firm for wheat, and prices had an upward tendency. Barley sold slowly, at previous rates, but there was an improved de mand for all other articles, the prices of which were well supported. Throughout the Continent wheat has been much less active, nevertheless very little change has taken place in the quotations. Spring corn and flour have supported former terms, with a fair demand. The American markets have continued to show rather extensive fluctuation in the value of both wheat and flour. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were limited. From abroad we received 16,673 quar ters of wheat, 7,368 barley, 27,370 oats, 30 rye, 110 beans, 5,550 linseed, 10,118 oilseeds, 10 maize, and 1,950 sacks of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up, to-day, coast wise and by land-carriage, were very limited ; hence, the show of samples was small. Although the demand was by no means active, most kinds of home-grown wheat were taken off at In advance in the 'quotations realised on Mon day last of from is to 2s per quarter. A sample of new wheat was shown from Kent, but its condition was very thin. We were again extensively supplied with foreign wheat. Holders were . very firm in their demands, but the business doing was only limited, at last week's quotations. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten tion. There was only a limited inquiry for barley, at late cur rencies. Malt was very dull, and inferior parcels were rather cheaper. Oats, the supply of which was tolerably good, were in fair request, at full prices. The few beans on offer were taken at previous currencies. New grey peas were on offer at 425. per quarter. Old parcels were dull in sale. The flour trade may be called steady at last week's quotations. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably good, and the gene ral quality of the stock was prime. Although very little meat was on show in the dead market, the demand for nearly all breeds of beasts was in a sluggish state, at last Monday's currency—the general top figure for beef being 4s 4d per 81bs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nor thamptonshire amounted to 4000 short horns and crosses ; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire 800 Scots, short horns, and crossess ; from other parts of Eng land 800 of various breeds ; from Scotland 80 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 180 oxen and heifers. We were again well supplied with all kinds of sheep. Prime Downs and half-breeds were in steady request at fully last week's prices; but most other breeds moved off slowly at late currencies. few very superior old Downs sold at 5s per Blbs. There was a moderate inquiry for lambs, the supply of which was good, at last week's prices. About 1,100 reached us from Ireland. The supply of calves was rather extensive, and the vea: trade ruled heavy at a decline in value of 2d per 81bs. Pigs were in improved request at very full prices.

JUDGMENT.-ATTORNEY -GENERAL V. GRAINGER This was a petition for costs of resisting several suits by the trustees in administering four charities to the corpora tion of Reading under the will of the late John Kendrick. The petitioners claimed-Ist, costs in relation to a peti tion filed by the Attorney-General in 1838 ; 2d, costs of an ap peal presented by the Governor of Christ's-hospital ; 3d, costs in relation to the partition of the estate ; and 4th, costs of the present petition. The testator by his will established four separate and distinct charities in the town of Reading, and appointed the corporation trustees and administrators thereof; first, a stock fund of £7,500; second, a loan fund of £500; third, a church fund of £250 for the purchase of land of the annual value of £lO for religious purposes ; and fourth, £lOO to pay small annuities to pool. old maiden ladies resident seven years in that place. In 1838 the Attorney-General filed an informatiOn under Sir Samuel Romilly's Act for the administration of the charity. Christ's Hospital claimed and obtained the first charity for want of administration, and the trustees incurred con siderable expense in upholding the other charities which they now claimed. His Honour considered they were not entitled to:the ex penses incurred in supporting the first charity given to Christ's Hospital. That the trustees were entitled to all reasonable costs, charges, and expenses incurred in support ing the second charity. And quod ad ultra allow other costs to be spoken to on a future day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(7IIIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A TRADESMAN. -Ur James M'Donald, carrying cn business at 50, Edgeware. road, as a linendraper, was charged with assaulting Mr. Robert Henry Barron, manager to Mr. Widnell, draper, &c., of 162, Regent-street. From the evidence of the complainant it appeared that at seven on Saturday evening the defendant went into the shop of Mr. Widnoll and asked if he was in. He was told he was not, when he became abusive, said they were "a set of swindlers," and on being requested to leave refused to do so, and caused a great disturbance, several ladies being in the shop at the time; and while he (complainant) had his back turned towards him struck him a blow on the back of his head, and afterwards gave him two other blows, and while in custody, threatened the cashier, Mr. Widnell's brother Albert Charles Widnell said the defendant came in and asked for his brother, and refused to leave when requested. Some ladies came in, andhe called them a parcel of thieves, and struck the complainant twice. Some questions being put to the last witness by Mr. Long, he varied very much in his statement, stating that he did not see the blows given, only the complainant in Dz attitude of defence. , The defendant said' he went to the shop to see Mr. Wid nell respecting a dishonoured bill accepted by him (Mr. Widnell), aid which was due on Friday, and while walking down the shop the complainant used very revolting lan guage, and he (defendant) suddenly found himself on the floor, and on recovering found complainant standing over him in a fighting attitude. Mr. Powell (from the office of Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street) for the complainant, said the bill was not paid by legal advice. Mr. Long said the complainant's witness had contra dicted himself, and his evidence was worth 'nothing. He placed credit on what the defendant had said, and should discharge him. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES IN SCOTLAND. A report by the Registrar of Friendly Societies n Scotland has been presented pursuant to the Act [Bth and 19th Vic., cap. 63, and printed by order of Parliament. In the course of this report the writer, in the true antiquarian spirit of old Jonathan Old buck, notices the existence of " burial clubs" among our Roman conquerors, and shows how much the law of Scotland is founded on, and how largely its principles are derived from the Roman law. He refers to a work of Mr. Kenrick, on "Roman Se pulchral Inscriptions," bearing on the subject of burial clubs. Mr. Kenrick says :—" As I have not seen the existence of burial clubs among the Romans noticed in any work on Roman antiquities, I will give some extracts Nom a monument referred to. It was found at Lanuvium, a town of ancient fame for the worship of Juno Sospita, about 19 miles from Rome, on the Via Appia. The inhabitants of this town appear, out of flattery towards the Emperor Hadrian, in whose reign the marble was erected, to have formed themselves into a college for paying divine honours to Diana and Antinous ; a singular combination, which shows at once the degraded condition of the people, and the heartless formality of the established religion which could be prosti tuted to such a purpose. The privilege of forming a college, or, as we should say, a body corporate, was most sparingly conceded, and most jealously restricted under the Emperors, who dreaded all secret associations as nurseries of treason. With this primary object of forming a college of the Cultores Diane et Antinoi, they combined that of a burial club, not forgetting the festivities which formed so important a part of all acts of religion among the Romans. To prevent disputes, the laws of the asso ciation were inscribed on marble, and probably set up in the temple of the two deities. An amphora of good wine was to be presented to the club by a new member, the sum of 100 sesterces (about 155.) was to be paid as entry money, and five asses (little more than 2d) per month as subscription. Their meet ings were not to take place oftener than once a month. If any pne omitted payment for (so many) months (the marble is here mutilated) no claim could be made, even though he had directed it by will. In case of the death of one who had paid his subscription regularly, 300 sesterces (£2 55.) were allotted for his funeral expenses, out of which, however, 50 were to be set apart for dis tribution at the cremation of the body. The fune ral was to be a walking one. If any one died more than 20 miles from Lanuvium, and his death was announced, three delegates from the college were to repair to the place where he had died, to perform his funeral, and render an account of it to the peo ple. Fraud was to be punished by a fourfold fine. Twenty sesterces each were to be allowed to the delegates for travelling expenses, going and re turning. If the death had taken place more than 20 miles from Lanuvium, and no notice had been sent, the person who had performed the funeral rites was to send a sealed certificate attested by seven Roman citizens, on the production of which the usual sum for the expenses was to be granted. If a member of the college had left a will, only those named in it could claim any thing. If he died intestate, the quinquennales or magistrates of the municipium, and the people generally, were to direct how the funeral should take place. If any member of the college in the condition of a slave should die, and his body, through the unjust conduct of his master or mis tress, should not be given up for burial, his funeral should be celebrated by his bust being carried in procession. No funeral of a suicide was to take place. There are many other rules tending to pre serve order and promote good fellowship, but these are all which relate to the burial club." This curious document is an additional proof how much ancient life resembled modern life, when we obtain a view of it, as it were, intus domique, through the medium , of its monuments.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he hoped the hon. and gallant member would postpone his motion, and that course, he assured him, would be for his (Sir C. Napier s) interest and the convenience of the house. Sir C. NAPIER consented to postpone his motion. THE DISTURBANCES ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S SHIPS. Admiralty, have tak en p l ace d a i s s k tu ed rb t a h n e ce S s e a stary to ee t r e afire r t l o D c D e / E l n iF4 recently on board her Majest7;'s siiips Liffey, Caesar, and. Hero. 681 ,335 372 578 6 Lord C. PAGET said that the Admiralty were desirous of giving full information on this subject, and he had re ceived reports from the officers commanding the vessels in question, from which it appeared that though some dis content was expressed in consequence of the sailors not obtaining leave to go on shore, there was no ground for any apprehension, as order was now-restored. The noble lord read the reports in confirmation of this statement. THE 'CAPTAIN OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL. In reply to an Horst. MEMEER, Lord C. PAGET declined giving the name of the commander of the vessel in question, on board of which it was stated that flogging had been resorted to in an improper manner. The gentleman in ques tion was an old and meritorious officer, and it would be most unfair to parade his name before the public. If they desired to maintain the efficiency of the naval ser vice, they Must also maintain its discipline, and therefore flogging could not at present be abolished. No doubt, how ever, it would eventually die a , natural death, and it would not be wise to strangle it. Mr. WILLIAMS said that the name of the officer alluded to was Captain Basely, who denied that his conduct was open to censure. After some further committee the subject d ro p pe d . SUPLY. The house then went into committee of supply. On the vote of £93,924 , f or the department of science and art, Mr. CONINGHAM moved that the vote for the National Gallery of £15,985 be reduced by £650, charged as travelling expenses. After a few remarks by hon. members as to the removal of the site of the National Gallery to Kensington Gore, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, whatever rumours might be current on the subject, no step had been taken for the removal of the site of the National Gallery, and the Government had given no grounds for these rumours. He thought nothing would be effected by striking the item out of the estimates unless they ap pointed a commission to inquire into the subject. [LEFT SITTING.] 01 - CLONE IN THE A RABIAN The following is an extract from a journal kept by Charles William O'Kelly, third_ officer of the ship Typhoon, on her passage fre dm Aden to Bom l-ay, lat. 1.5.30 deg. N., long.. 6.3 deg. E. :—" On the morning of the 3d of June, from various indications best known to experienced men, the captain judged that it was going to blow great guns,' as he graphically expressed it, and accordingly orders were issued to make everything awn secure. Pre vious to this royal yards, studdingsail booms, and flyingjib boom, were all sent down, and the ship was hove to under a closereefed maintopsail. In compliance with the above order all the other sails were well lashed round their respective yards with preventive gaskets ; spars, boats, and all things likely to move well - 'secured; hatches bat tened down, &c. About seven a.m, the wind in creased to a terrific gale, and in the same pro portion did the squalls and rain increase in fre quency and, fierceness. A little after eight a.m. the wind, which previous to this seemed to be travelling all round the compass, sud denly shifted to the S.W., and a cyclone in all its fury struck the ship. Which lay over with her lee bulwarks in the water. The maintopsail held on about 10 or 15 minutes, when the truss-bolt of the yard snapt like a carrot, though of wrought iron Lnd about four inches in diameter. The sail flew into ribands and great pieces of canvas went flying to leeward. The weather topsail sheet drew the eyebolt out of the deck, carrying with it one half of the belaying rail, and unshipping the crank wheels that work ~ he main pumps. " This ! this was the unkindest cut of all," for had she sprung a leak—as all things warranted the supposition that such a misfortune would take place —we should have been half full of water before the pumps could have been made available for active service. How ever, on the carpenter sounding, there was no water, or so little that it was of no con sequence, 91 a.m.—All things were now in a critical state, some of the beams in the cabin were broken, the ship working and groaning in a fright ful state. About 10 a.m. the cyclone struck her again, laying her over till two or three feet of her deck were in the water. Consternation was now depicted on every countenance. Maintopsail y ard adrift, sail i n r ib an d s , f oretopsa il and cross-jack blown out of the gaskets, the mainmast bending like a whipsaw, with some of the weather rigging carried away, rendering it utterly impossible for the men just then to go aloft. The rain beating on every exposed part like hail stones, causing acute pain, the roaring of the mountainous seas breaking round us, the gushing of the wind and rain, the loud peals of thunder, the vivid flashes of lightning, the flapping of the torn canvas, the shouting, of the officers and the cries of the Hindoo passengers, all blending together in one bewildering chaos, rendered it a scene awfully sublime in its nature, but most painfully startling in its effect. By this time tne carpenters had made a temporary fixture for the pump, and were stand ing by axe in hand to cut away the masts, and some of the c rew h a d l as h ed themselves to the weather bulwarks. 12 o'clock.—Captain Faulkner en couragt d the crew by telling them that he thought we had got the worst, and giving them a glass of grog. They then got some dinner. After dinner the men went aloft, cutting away the torn 'canvas to ease her a bit, and endeavouring to secure the topsail yard. Found that the trap band had sawed into the topmast, rendering it completely useless for future service, and that th e t o p mast r i gg i ng was all chafed a n d cut. However, the yard was secured as well as it was possible to do under the circumstances, and a tackle got on the mainmast, &c. By this time the wind had visibly decreased, though it was still blowing hard, with a tremendous sea. Lay to all night, and in the morning squared away, and ran under a reefed foresail, all our other sails having been blown to ribands. The carpenter reports foreyard gone, copper atarted, and no doubt other damages will appear when the weather will permit a thorough examination. In the monotony of seafaring life, a trivial occurrence often takes the attention of even a casual observer, and what would seem commonplace and unworthy of notice to a landsman, is often fraught with imminent fore bodings to the experienced sailor. Thus, previous to this cyclone coming on, there seemed some thing inexplicably strange in the appearance of nature. Heavy dark masses of clouds stumbled and rolled about in dire confusion, a calm fell suddenly, and the air became thick and h eavy, causing a difficulty in respiration. The sea, imi tating the clouds, rose in crested masses. The ship wing, compl e t e l y became inundate s d p w ee i i t e h ,, noufmsbeears boifrbdesauetriofwuldbeuat butter- flies, and many e d nt o e o r p i n in g g t he cabin," de ckex hausted,an somed lay even wit h HOUSE OF COMMONS -(THIS DAY.)

SUPPLY. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. LAING said he hoped that hon. members who had motions on the paper would postpone them until the even ing sitting at six o'clock. In answer to Sir H. WILLOUGIIRY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it would not be necessary to move the second reading of the Income-tax this evening. Some hon. members expressed their readiness to accede to the suggestion of the hon. gentleman the Secretary of the Treasury._ THIS DAY'S SIIIP_PING.

Already have turfites made the excursion to the Sussex coast,*and long ere these notes are placed before the reader, will racing men be " musing meditation fancy free" on shingles, or watching the golden path made by the moon on the sea. Perhaps the opportunity which the Goodwood week affords for turfites to wander by the sea-side to inhale the fresh air is one of the chief attractions of the meet ing, and 1s the reason why the gathering is deno minated " glorious." At Brighton, Worthing, Bognor, and, indeed, thoughout "the long wash" of the Sussex coast have lodgings been in brisk demand, and accommodation for man and beast is scarcely obtainable. This afternoon the room at the " Corne r ". will be drawn blank, for the last assemblage of active turfites look place this morn ing iu the city, but business was not pursued with much energy, and the bookmakers seemed of the phantom school, and frightened even at the sound themselves had made. I scircely know how to dis cuss, in the space which is at my disposal,„ the various items in the programme. The task, however, must be undertaken, albeit I feel, as Mr. Tennyson somewhere expresses it, inclined to course about the central wish, 'alike doves about a dove cote, until I settle there." Still Ido not feel disposed to enter into a long statistical account of former Goodwood Meetings, to trace the rise of 'diem from the mere yeoman;:y races which formed the "nucleus" of the present gathering; to take a retrospective glance at the reforms which were in troduced by Lord George Bentinek, to refer elabo rately to the Cos Sack, Van Tromp, Weatherbit, and Annandale encounter, for they are matters of turf history. The early rise and progress of the meet ing have been clearly traced in a very interesting little book written and published by Mr. Mason, the obliging printer of the cards arid to that volume —if it be obtainable—l refer:the re a d er who may b e sufficiently enamoured 'of . " Glorious Goodwood," to induce hith to study its antecedents. The minor items in the programm,e I shall touch upon with the most convenient brevity - and the most important engagements do not require a very lengthened— albeit they must have a very careful examination. The Stewards' Cup furnishes what the Mock Duke,' in the Honeymoon, would call an intricate case for the judges. The cognisce2zti—whoever they may be—will perhaps experience much difficulty in making a favourite, and .Mr. Clark's opinion is most likely to be opposed to theirs. The top weights cannot be deemed out of the race. Lord Nelson has a tremendous dash of speed; and the remembrance of a race he won at Newmarket in the spring compels me to plaee'sOnie faith in him for this event. Theodora, however, is weighted with unquestionable leniency, and in her I am in duced to repose undivided confidence ; indeed, if the Handicapper had placed an additional 71bs. on her, • I should have selected her. Mayonaise, with her Gibs. alle*.ance, surely ought to be capable of winning the Gratwicke Stakes. Her %lost formidable opponent will be Ticket-of-LeaVe. Several fashionably-bred two-year-olds are en tered for the Ham Stakes, and Tom Bowline will, it is said, be amongst the starters. This horse appears to me so promising, and so likely to train into a first-class animal, when I saw him at Lord Derby's sale last year, that I am induced to adhere to my first love, and still to deem him worthy of my allegiance. Toxophilite will, of course, win the 300 Sovs. Sweepstakes, and afford the spectators the gratifi cation of seeing his owner's colours brought past the post: This sight, however, is not likely to become so rare, if " Tox" remains well, and if Lord Glasgow's other purchases thrive under John Scott's management. The scratching of Harlestone for the Stakes has removed the only dangerous three-yr-oid which was left in. Although Leamington has in accord ance with the Chester Cup scale much the best of the weights, yet his heavy impost he will find diffi cult to struggle home with. Lifeboat has shown so much form this year that I am scarcely inclined to select any other animal to represent my interest. To him I shall, therefore, assign the first place, reserving Worcester for a "coclibeat." -Ralph° is said to be doing strong work, and he may, therefore, be brought out for the Drawing Room Stakes. The Promised Land ought surely to win the Goodwood Derby. I shall send my notes on the Cup and Friday's racing from Goodwood on Wednesday. My present fancy for the former is for the "in tended" of W. Day's. Union Jack is described as the best of the French three-year-olds, which we described as a bad lot. A FRESH MAN, ARRIVALS AT GOODWOOD.
