MONEY MARKE AND GOIIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no ne w f ea t ure t o repor t i n connec ti on with monetary affairs. The demand for discount acco mmodation is still very small, while the supplies °f capital seeking employment are large, and the °West rates for the best bills are 3i / per cent. At the meeting of the Imperial Continental Gas Associati on , a di v id end of £ 2 10s. per s h are, w i t h a bonus of £1 per share, free of income tax, was de clared for the half-year ending 31st December last. _ The prospe c t us o f " E vans " (C oven t- gar d en ) L imited will be found in our advertising columns. ,The obj ec t o f the company i s to purchase the esta- I 'llshinent so well known as Evans's, to continue the supper -room business, and to improve the hotel de partment. The capital is £60,000, in 6,000 shares ° f £lO each, but it is not contemplated to call up t.iere than £6 per share. The deposit on application t 0 be Ll per share, and £2 on allotment, with a cal , of £2 and ano th er o f £1 per share at intervals °' not less than three months.

Wasborough, Esq.), on the body of Thomas Atwood, aged 16 years, a stable lad in the employ of Mr. Archer, a trainer. It appeared from ths evidence of the head lad that deceased had started on Saturday, wrapped in flannels and a great coat, for a sweat; he was to ride at Harpenden last week, and wanted to pull off 51b weight; he walked about two miles, and then fell down, when some man coming by advised that the clothes should be taken off him, or he would die. They then undressed him on the Downs, rubbed him dry, covered him over with. all the clothes and wrappers, and went to Ashdown Park for assistance. Mr. Clarke, of Lambourne, stated that he drove to the spot where deceased was lying, and took with him some brandy and some water, but that the jaw of tho deceased was al most fixed and his eyes closed, and that he was obliged to rallied,theo n oh v n e e r cause braino h, a force open hi s mouth to administer the stimulant.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Brougham.) IN RE JONATHAN MATTHEWS. Mr. Knight (clerk to Mr. Beard) made an application this morning for the appointment of a day for a dividend meeting. The registrar appointed June 21, and upon that day matters will be finally settled. THE DERBY DAY. The almost universally acknowledged national . holiday—" the Derby"—was to-day celebrated with the greatest possible effect. Red-letter days in London are never disregarded ; but Derby Day is the people's special institution. Large as have been the numbers attending the race on all occasions hitherto, they must have fallen very far short in deed of the myriads who found themselves at the critical moment in that beautiful part of Surrey with which the racing fame of England is insepa rably associated. The ways of getting to Epsom are innumerable, , but practically they all resolve themselves into two methods—the road and the rail. For those impas sive natures who love their ease and dignity, and who look on at the Derby as they would at any or dinary spectacle, the railway offers paramount faci lities for going and returning. Those also who are pressed for time naturally avail themselves of that mode of transit. But for the great mass of Londoners —the votaries proper of the Derby, who keep its anniversary religiously, and seek to make it yield as much enjoyment as possible—there is only one way of approaching the race-course, and that is by the road. So at least thought a large proportion of those who to-day gave themselves up as willing victims to the attractions of the scene. London must have been on foot, or rather on wheels, at an early hour. Vehicles were streaming out of town by all the practicable routes as early as six o'clock, the major part of these, of course, belonging to early birds, bent on combining duty with pleasure, and profit with both ; but long before nine o'clock roomy coaches and prancing horses were at work in many of the leading thoroughfares col lecting passengers and taking in stores. At the West-end, especially, the bustle was very great. From the force of habit one is led to speak of the old coaching clays as an Augustan era, departed never to return, and of horses as if their breed and numbers had since been necessarily on the decline. But it is fairly open to question whether, before the days of railroads, a more goodly, or, at any rate, a more numerous, cavalcade ever poured forth from the metropolis. Certainly, of late years, it has had no equal in point of magnitude. To say that every kind of vehicle, in or out of repair, had its represen tative in the motley gathering is only to repeat what has been said of every Derby-day since the origin of our modern Olympic sports. The lordly four-in hand, the humbler brougham, the pert dogcart, the ponderous omnibus, and the plebeian " barrow" of the genuine costermonger abounded everywhere ; Hansom cabs transformed themselves into per fect bowers, and flourished all along the line. Who can adequately describe the adornments lavished on the horses by their drivers ? Wreaths of flowers and bouquets dangled from their head dress, with, in some cases " favours" superadded, the cherished relics of quondam wedding parties. At the " Elephant " and at Kennington-gate the crowds of vehicles were as numerous and miscel laneous as possible, from the most dashing aristo cratic equipages to the well sheltered and commodi ous pleasure-van. Express and excursion trains might have been expected to utterly abolish both postilion and pleasure-van, yet they turn out every year more numerous than before. Kennington and Clapham-road are too familiar with the sights of a Derby Day to prevent any unbecoming excitement, but a little further on the road, stretching towards Tooting, all pretended indifference was abandoned. People openly brought out chairs into their lawns, or leant over their garden walls, and stared at the procession. And well they might, for it was a re markable one. As far as the eye could reach, iu advance and to the rear, there was the same ola podrida of diverse and yet strangely consistent ele ments. Sometimes the body of carriages was folded up into triple coils, sometimes it spread it self out into a long thin line, occasionally it got over the ground smoothly and rapidly, more fre quently it advanced, when it did move forward, in short and jerky stages. As might have been ex pected from the rickety state of many of the vehicles, some were put hors de combat at a very early stage, until recourse could be had to the village blacksmith, whose heart would un doubtedly rejoice if " each morning saw some work begun" of an equally remunerative character. As the road wound on, giving from many points a full view of that blazing arch through which the sun was darting its rays on the contents of the Crystal Palace, and as the heat and dust increased, one could not help feeling tempted at times to shun the face of man and the fortunes of the race, and to seek shade and repose in the tempting verdure which lay on all sides. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES, MAY 30. Our modern Olympian, Isthmian, or by whatever name we seek to envelope the more homely belongings of the great annual " games" on the downs of Surrey have com menced this year with every attribute of success, and with no other drawback to enjoyment than the accompaniments of dust and wind which have :swept over the course all day. The new route which the Brighton Railway Com pany have opened, landing passengers within an easy dis tance of the course, has been extensively patronised, and if it were possible for greater crowds to come to the Derby than in past years, to-morrow will, in all probability, see them. The ground is pronounced tolerably good-going for Epsom. Rain would have been desirable, but it might have been harder ; so with that we must be content. The French horse is in everybody's mouth and in most people's books. While the praise of Breadalbane is quali fied by some dissent, there is a wonderful unanimity as regards Gladiateur. Never was there, barring accidents, such a certainty as that of our neighbours this year bear ing off the blue riband in triumph. This afternoon, on ar riving on the course, an uneasy feeling manifested itself about Wild Charley, who was said to ,have the influenza. Rumours of his being scratched were prevalent, and his position was anything but reassuring to his backers. Lord Stamford's success with Gemma and Gownsman had the effect of strengthening Archimedes, who advanced a point, and, together with Christmas Carol and Oppressor, kept a prominent position in the second rank. The Craven Stakes--often a Derby trial, but this year not affording much clue, was carried off so easily by Gemma, and Gownsman landed the Stamford colours in the Brighton Stakes so cleverly, that, as we have above said, Archmedes' chance was deemed an improving one. Favourites received a great squanderiing in the Woodcote, where Redan and Vespasian suffered defeat from Janitor, a fine King Tom of Baron Rothschild's, and indeed the whole of the race was unfavourable to backers. Tai tar's hollow win in the Rous Stakes brought Oppressor to a shorter price, and Queen of Trump's victory in the Heathcote Plate still further strengthened Christmas Carol. Both favourites were remarkably firm, and Wild Charley somewhat recovered from the demonstration made against him in the early part of the day. The Craven Stakes of 10 sous each, with 50 sous added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Weights for age. The last mile and a quarter of the new Derby course.

False Alarm, with Anti-Macassar at his girth; was the first away, and came on with the running two or three lengths in advance of Breeze, close up with whom was Side wind, Gemma and Anonyma lying off. Passing through the ,furze the favourite took a clear lead, and with Side wind, Anti-Macassar, and Arabia entered the straight in close company, but shortly after the last named dropped back, and at the distance Breeze was joined by Gemma, who got her head in front at the stand, and won very easily by a length ; three lengths separated the second and third, and a length the third and fourth; Arabia and Anonyma next.

Three quarters of an hour was consumed before Mr. M‘George was enabled' to get them away, when the flag was lowered to an admirable start, in which Grappler got away slightly in front, but was immediately headed by Idler, who in company with Light, Indigestion, Molly Carew, Fianede, and Gownsman, ran in a body to the distance, where Molly Carew ran up to the leader, and raced with him to half way up, where she was beaten, and her place was taken by Gownsman, who took Indigestion on the whip hand, followed Idler to the Stand, where Carroll brought up Lord Stamford's colt, who in the next half dozen strides ob tained a clear lead, and won cleverly by a length. Idler defeated Indigestion by half a length for second ; Skirmish was fourth, The Eland fifth, Finesse next. The last three were Grappler, Deerfoot, Light, and Armadillo. The Horton Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 added; 2-yr olds and upwards. Weight for age, with selling allow ances. New T.Y.C., three-quarters of a mile. 7 subs.

Juneaton was third, beaten half a length, Flight filly was fourth, beaten off, and Shamrock fifth. The winner was bought in for 250 guineas. The Woodcote Stakes of 10 soya each, with 100 soya added, for 2-yr-old colts, Bst 101 b, and fillies Bst 71b ; the owner of the second horse to receive 25 soya out of the stakes.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Redan, Bto 1 agst Vespasian, 9to 2 agst Mazeppa, and 12 to 1 any other. Venturesome, on the extreme right of his horses, jumped away with a clear lead of Vespasian, Redan, and Mazeppa, and made play into the straight. When running wide ho was headed by Mr. Craven's colt, who came on in advance to the distance, where he was joined by the favourite Ves pasian, Chapel Royal, and Janitor, the latter lying wide on the lower ground. On reaching the enclosure Vespasian was beaten, and in a few strides farther Redan was headed by Mazeppa, who, in turn, gave way to Janitor in the centre of the Stand, who won very cleverly by three parts of a length ; a like distance separated the second and third. Chapel Royal was fourth, Vespasian fifth, Venturesome sixth, and Tina seventh. Then came Nailor, Kinghorn, Venture, and Hasketon Maid, in the order we have given them.

A length separated the second and third. Amber, who ran through the beaten horses, finished fourth, Moulsey fifth, Nip sixth, and Deerfoot next.

A like distance separated the second and third ; Jack Jukes was fourth, close up ; Ropley fifth, and Blackbird next. Zambesi and Siberia wore struck out of the Derby' yes terday afternoon, THE COVET AND THE DERBY DAY. The Court of Bankruptcy, it would appear, is of neces sity kept open to-day, the act of Parliament preventing the commissioners from granting a holiday except on Monday and Tuesday. IN RE CAPTAIN CROSSMAN. Although it was stated in some of the daily papers that Captain Crossman, who became liable in a considerable amount for the Hon. R. Bethell, had been released from custody, our reporter is informed that such was not really the case, and that the application will have to be renewed upon a future day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FEVER ABODES.—Mary Gorman, the owner of the house No. 2, Motford place, Tottenham-court-road, attended to answer the complaint of Mr. Thos. Curtis, Sanitary Inspec tor of St. Pancras, of having her house in such an over crowded state as to be dangerous to the health of the in habitants. Mr. Cooper, solicitor to the Vestry of St. Pancras, at tended in support of the complaint, the proceedings being taken under the Nuisances Removal Act. After hearing Dr. Hillier, the medical officer of St. Pan cras, to the effect that fever had existed in some of the houses in the place, and that the defendant's house was in such an overcrowded state as to be injurious to the health of the inhabitants, and Mr. Curtis, in confirmation of Dr. Hillier, Mr. Cooper said the object of the present proceedings was the abatement of the nuisance, and not that of fining the defendant. The defendant said she would only be too happy to com ply with what was required, but she found a difficulty in getting rid of the persons. Mr. Cooper said that why the parish interfered was be canso there had been a great deal of fever in the district of late. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a shocking thing to think that poor working men should not have a better place to live in than felons. If a man was in gaol there was the greatest anxiety as to the number of cubic feet of air he should have. The real thing was to turn the persons out ; they would at all events, then, be free from fever. Ile was bound to prevent the over-crowding, and to do all he could to prevent fever breaking out. An order was then made for the abatement of the nuis ance within 14 days. A similar order was made in the cases of John Fitz gerald, the owner of No. 3, and Michael Doody, No. 4, Metford-place. THAMES. EVADING PAYMENT OP A RAILWAY PARE.—" Mender v• Williams" called out one of the officers of the court directly the night charges were disposed of, and immediately a well-dressed lady, With a white veil before her face, tripped lightly before the solicitors' table, and said she wished his worship to postpone the case. Mr. Paget—Are you the defendant, madam ? , The lady—No, sir, I am not. Mr. Paget—l see the name is Thomas Williams, of No. Inkermann-terrace, Liverpool-road, Old Ford, Bow. The lady—He is a friend of mine, and cannot attend He travels generally by the Stepney line, and made a slight mistake. He had a return ticket, and gave that by mistake to tho ticket collector a little mistake. Mr. Paget—What is he ? The Lady—A commercial traveller in the wine and spirit trade. Mr. Paget--That is to say, it is more profitable for the defendant to sell wino and spirits than to attend here. No excuse that. I cannot receive such an excuse, and the case must proceed. Service of the summons having been proved lop Smith, a police-constable attached to the court, Henry Mender, a ticket collector on the North London Railway, said that on the night of the 18th of the present month, at 9 27, a train arrived at the Bow station from Fenchurch-street, and the defendant alighted from a car riage. Ho asked Mr. Williams for his ticket, and ho replied by a dreadful oath and epithet. Ho overlooked this because defendant was a little the worse for liquor, and again demanded the ticket or the fare. Tho defendant then gave him a return ticket for the 12th of May. He shouted out to the defendant that the ticket was for the 12th, and the day it was offered was the 18th. The de fendant repeated his vulgar language, and he then demanded his name and address. Tho defendant refused, but, on being pressed, gave it, and was allowed to depart. The witness added that Mr. Williams had given much trouble and frequently used foul language at the station. The lady here interposed, and, in an undertone, said her friend Mr. Williams was a gentleman, and must have been excited or he would not have acted in that manner. Mr. Paget—My duty is clear, and that is to issue a war rant for the apprehension of Mr. Thomas Williams, of No. 4, Inkermann-terrace, Old Ford. He is to be brought here directly he is arrested. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate, but the condition of the produce was good, and a fair clearance of the supply was effected at Monday's decline in the quotations. With foreign wheat the market was but moderately supplied. For nearly all qualities the market was in a sluggish state, and the small amount of business done was at the late fall in prices. Floating cargoes of wheat were in slow request at late rates. Spring corn afloat was firm in price. Barley, of which there was but a moderate supply on the stands, sold steadily at full prices. Malt was in slow request at ab out previous rates. The market was abundantly supplied with oats, the trade for which ruled inactive on former terms. Beans and peas ruled firm at fully late rates. For flour there was only a moderate inquiry on firmer terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S.—The exhibition, in Baker street, we are glad to find, continues to be unprecedentedly well-attended ; indeed, it would be impossible for it to be otherwise, considering the many attractive objects which everywhere meet the eye, and to which the spirited pro prietors arc daily adding, regardless of the great outlay in purchasing them. The principal attractive models, life size, are the late President Lincoln, and Mr. Jefferson Davis (the late President of the Confederate States.) The model of John Wilkes Booth, the dastardly assassin of President Lincoln, is considered to be an authentic likeness. DEATH OF THE FATHER OF GRACE DARLING.— Wm. Darling, father of the famous Grace Darling, died at Bamburgh on Sunday morning, in his 80th year. Deceased was for several years the keeper of the Long stone Lighthouse, Fame Islands, where some time ago he was succeeded by his son, and retired to Bamburgh to end his days in quiet and repose. It was while living at the Longstone light that the event occurred which has given to his family an historical celebrity that will bo lasting. A portion of the wreck of the John Humble steamer was discovered on the Longstone Rocks at daybreak on Sept. Gth, 1838. By the aid of a glass persons were discovered clinging to the fragment of wreck, but the North Sunder land boatmen, and every experienced boatman, including Darling himself, declared that any effort to reach them would be mere madness, and sure to add to the number of lives sacrificed. Grace Darling at length, by her entreaties and tears, induced her father to get into a boat with her, and father and daughter readied the wreck in safety, where they had the satisfaction of saving the lives of nine persons, including that of a woman who lay half drowned in a corner or the wreck with the stiffened corpses of her two children in her arms. This noble deed brought honours upon Grace and her father from every quarter, as well as substantial recognition. Grace died of consumption at Bamburgh, in October, 1842, at 27 years of age. The father was thus described a few years before his death by a visitor to Bamburgh :—" As you sit waiting for the service to begin, you will see an old man, still hale and strong, but with a wrinkled brow, and hair of a silvery-white enter the church. He is clad in the old blue coat with brass buttons, which was fashionable 40 years ago, and his nether limbs are draped in trousers of white nankeen. The old man is worth a close inspection for his own sake, for it is not often that you will see a face so singularly calm and beautiful as his ; but that is not the reason why I call your attention to him. Yon old man bears a name which still has power to send a thrill through breasts not easily im pressed, and which once was famous in the farthest corners of the earth," THE DOWNS. _ . The coup d'ceil of the racecourse is indescribable. One may commit to paper accurately enough the description of particular groups, or of individual features in the giant display ; but the field of ob servation is so immense, so varied, and so peculiar, that essays might be written upon it, and yet the theme be far from exhausted. Mounting the hill which leads to Tattenham-corner be fore any general view of the ground is obtained, the senses are first arrested by a confused and excited hum of voices which might almost lead to the supposition that the fate of England's greatest annual race was at that instant being decided. This impression is corrected a moment later when the full grandeur of the scene bursts upon the eye. A gigantic amphitheatre, in which the formation of the ground supplies the place of architectural elevation, is alive with human beings. A swarm of humanity of all grades, of all ages, and of all conditions, covers the ground for miles. Thousands are couped up there in the Grand Stand and its satellite enclosures ; tens of thousands are roaming far and wide over the turf, moving restlessly to and fro, and, like the sea —the great original type of perpetual motion—now covering particular points with a wave, and now with drawing and leaving them bare. The barriers of this flood arc the ranges of carriages which surround and keep it on every side—broader and deeper and more formidable barriers this year, because the tide itself is greater. There, in the very centre of the surging, heaving mass, is a plot of high ground —an island we may call it, "full of strange noises, sounds, and sweet airs." Carriages are here in my riads, tents in scores --the custodians of Aunt Sally, Ethiopian and other serenaders in troops, all eager, excited, and clamorous. The course itself is like a revolvingkaleidoscope, always presenting some vary ing outline or new combination of colour. Standing out boldly as the most prominent feature is the Grand Stand, which contains an array surpassed by few, if any, in the world, for wealth, position, and influence. Culled from the choicest nurseries of England, and also placed in those galleries which rise tier above tier with semi-theatrical effect, are hundreds of fair flowers, some already enshrined, and many more deserving enrolment, in the latest edition of the " Flowers of England." The betting men were, as usual, numerously re presented ; but amongst the more respectable were a large numbers of "welchers" and skittle-sharpers, who live on the credulity of the country visitors to the Downs. Gladiateur was the ruling favourite, closely followed by Breadalbane. Oppressor and Longdown were also very firm in the market, but the greatest alteration was in the case of Wild Charley, who, from 100 to 3 offered yesterday, came to 9 and 10 to 1, taken freely. The railway route via London-bridge and Vic toria and the South Western was as usual exten sively patronised, and so admirable were the arrange ments of the two companies, that a fabulous number " emptie s ," were em ployedwithout the slightest o f accident"specials," e throughoutcoi a r s n , ' s m h i a t p h r theet returning r n dayng SEVERE GALE AT LIVERPOOL.--A gale of unusual severity swept over Liverpool on Monday night up to an early hour yesterday (Tuesday) morning. The wind, which was accompanied by heavy showers of rain, blow generally S.\V., and at times in such terrific squalls as to threaten the safety of some ferry buildings. The damage done to the shipping in the river was trifling, but to that outside the port we are at present ignorant of, with this exception, that the pilot boat No. 7, which towed a derelict brig into the river, reports a very heavy sea running out side, and that several large vessels were hanging on to the tug-boats which had towed them out to sea the previous day. On the Welsh coast the telegraph lines were broken down, and all communication between Hibbre Island sta tion westward bas been entirely suspended, CHANTILLY SPRING MEETING. The Northern Railway terminus presentedO;Sunday morning a scene of great activity, not less than 15 trains having been despatched, heavily laden with turfists and pleasure-seekers on their way to witness the running for the French Derby. The weather was magnificent, a cloudy sky and a gentle breeze rendering the air less oppressive than it would have been otherwise. The number of ladies present was unusually large for a race meeting out of Paris, and an immense crowd of betting men had assem bled on the grassplot in the rear of the stands. The most marked incident in the betting was the retrograde move ment of Gontran, and the advance of Le Mandarin, who shared equal favour with Deliane. Tho preference of Le Mandarin could only be accounted for by the confidence naturally placed in any horse selected as the champion of a stable so formidable as that of Count de Legrange. Tourmalet was still neglected, from the knowledge that ho would only be allowed to win in the event of his stable companion being beaten ; although, had the two horses been backed according to their merits, Tourmalet would have been preferred to the Oaks winner. As will be seen by the details lower down the race was won by Gontran—by Fitz-Gladiator—and Golconde, belong ing to the united stable of Major Fridolin (M. Charles Laffitte) and Baron Niviere, this being the first great prize carried off since the formation of this new confederacy. Gontran had run twice before this season—in the Poule d'Essai, which he won, beating Tourmalet by a neck; and in the Poule des Produits, in which Tourmalet won and turned the tables, beating Gontran by the same distance. The Derby winner is engaged in France in the Great Paris Prize, and in England in the Zetland Stakes at Goodwood, the Bramham Stakes at York, both sweepstakes of £lOO each, and in the Doncaster Stakes. During the winter the West Australian produce was frequently backed at evens, for large sums, against the Fitz-Gladiator horses. We may mention that four of each started for the great race yester day, the latter furnishing the winner. Of 21 horses coloured, 19 came to the post, the field being one of the largest yet seen on the Continent. Subjoined are details of the day's proceedings : The Prix de Dangu of 5,000 f., for horses 4-yr-old and up wards. Entry, 300 f., h. ft. The second to receive half the entries.

Schooner and Stanislas ran in front to the last corner, when Volupte and Orifiamme, who had been lying in the rear, came forward and took the first and second places. Volupt6 kept her lead to the finish, winning easily by a length ; a head separated the second and third. The winner was bought in for 2,625 f. The Prix d'Empereur, a handicap of 2,000 f.

PRETTY ARIEL, THE POPULAR FAVOURITE.---The " Ariel " is the prettiest novelty produced for the present season—so say all the journals of fashion, one of which, the Queen and Court Chronicle, in describing this recherché article, states that it consists of black net with a rich bordering worked by hand in a tambour stitch in white silk; the pattern resembles Brussels lace. The greatest peculiarity of the material is that, like the chameleon, it changes colour, and apparently assumes that of whatever dress it covers ; thus, though the ground is always black, over a mauve silk it appears mauve ; over a blue, blue— the pattern remaining white. It is made in shawls, circu lars, circulars with two capes, and in fitting paletots. At fetes, flower-shows, and especially at theraces, these unique garments cannot fail to be extensively worn. Fashion has affixed its stamp to the pretty " Ariel," and not to have seen it is to admit not having seen the popular favourite of the London season. It is a speciality of Messrs. Farmer and Rogers of Regent-street, and one of the most charm ing novelties introduced by this well-known firm.

Mr. T. C. Murray Aynsley and his wife were re turning with another lady and gentleman to Salerno after a pleasant trip to Pcestum, on the 15th inst. when they were surprised by brigands near Batti paglia. In a letter to the Z imes, Mr. Aynsley, who writes from Naples, gives the following account of the unpleasant adventure : The carriage was stopped, and I and my friend were told to come down. The brigands immediately hurried off with us towards the sea, which is at no great distance from the road, leaving the carriage with the ladies in it, untouched. We moved about the woods and fields for an hour or two, the brigands breaking down the hedges to make it as easy as possible for us to gat through. About sunset we sat down, and cloaks were given us to put qn, and others to sit upon. When it was quite dark we moved on again, passing through irrigated lands and over small streams, the brigands being very careful of us, lest we should wet our feet. At last we came to a stream, which it was impossible to cross without wading, and one of themicarried us over on his back. We soon afterwards crossed the road from Salerno to Paestum, and about one o'clock, a.m., arrived at the banks of a stream some distance above the plain. The brigands told us to be down among some bushes, but on our objecting that the ground was damp, they let us lie down higher up, saying we must conceal ourselves among the bushes when it was day. They collected dry roots for us to sleep upon, gave us an additional cloak to keep us warm, and one of them very tenderly and gently raised up my head, put some more dry stuff and a pocket-handkerchief under it, placed another over my eyes to shade them from the moon, and I think I should have slept soundly had not my friend whispered " one of the men felt for my fifth rib," and I kept sometime reflecting—Can they pet us now, and next minute murder us ? Do these men indulge all feelings as they rise uppermost? After a time I succeeded in getting rid of these thoughts, and slept. At daybreak we moved down under a bank nearer the stream, the two men who had the best places giving them up to us. We had as much bread and sausages as we liked; tobacco was also offered. We now asked the brigands, as we had done before, what they could get by carrying us off, told them we were not what they supposed, "rich English milords," but poor men ; that the money we had we would send them if they would let one of us go to Salerno to get it. They considered our proposal, asked what money we had with us ; we took three napoleons and some silver. The captain of the band at once gave back the silver, but kept the gold in his hand. I offered him my watch and gold chain, but he would not touch these. After a time he gave us back our napoleon. In answer to our questions they told us they were soldiers of Francesco Secondo. Many of them said they did not like their mode of life; few, they said, did; once engaged in it escape is next to impossible. We urged them to obtain a general pardon on condition of leaving the country, they told us they could not trust the Government. We told them that Englishmen were not their enemies, but the friends of Italy, and that it was not right to treat their friends as enemies, and they seemed ashamed. When we told them that in Eng land there were no brigands, but that all were satisfied with the laws, they repeated this to one another, and some who had not themselves heard it came and asked if this were so. About half-past nine on the morning of the 16th, we started again, and walked a considerable distance through an open and cultivated country in a long line, with no attempt at concealment. For an hour or more we saw on our left Monte Corvino, a town of 7,000 in habitants ; at last we came to the bottom of a high hill, which we ascended, and about 1 30 p.m. came to a spring of water near the summit, where we stopped. After we had rested and eaten some bread and sausage the bri gands discussed what was to be done with us, and with two peasants, owners or relations of owners of land in the plain, whom they had carried off also. The captain of the band began writing letters to the relations of one; but he could not write easily, and my friend wrote two letters at his dictation in the names of the two prisoners, demanding a ransom, which the prisoners were made to sign. One letter was worded, " Dear brother,—l have been taken by the band. Send a ransom of 12,000 ducats, or I shall be killed." And the other, "Dear father,—l have been taken by the band. Send a ransom of 9,000 ducats, or I shall be killed." Our case was then again discussed, and the brigands agreed to send one of. us (and the lot decided that I should go), and collectsome money amon g th e Eng lish in Naples, and in a week's time I am to send a letter to say how much we can collect. I had not left the bri gands more than a minute or two when, com i ng to the brow of the hill, I saw troops and National Guards ap proaching. In a few seconds 1 was surrounded by soldiers with I thought, North Italian countenances, calling out, 4, Are you an Englishman ? An Englishman, an English man I" They seized my hand, and one cried, suiting the action to the word, " I must give you a kiss." The good fel lows thought I had escaped on their approach. In a few seconds firing was commenced by the National Guard. I hurried up some rising ground, and looking round when I got to the top, the brigands called out, " On, on, or we will kill your companion." I, of course, obeyed, and on reaching Monte Corvino received an enthusiastic welcome. Had my friend only escaped when the soldiers came up, I should now look on the adventure with pleasure, but ho did not, and my position is one of terrible responsibility, anxiety, and doubt, for the cruelties committed by the brigands upon their prisoners are sometimes horrible, and literally indescribable. In Salerno a man was pointed out to us who had lost ono ear in the following manner. After his cap ture by the brigands, his wife having sent a smaller sum than they asked, the brigands sent her one of his ears, with the message that if the rest of the money did not come his head would follow. The ransom demanded in our case is one impossible for us to collect. LONDON BROKERS. ---Mr. Moffat has laid before the House of Commons a bill for repealing the law which requires that brokers iu the city must pay 40s. a year to the Chamberlain. The bill states that the tax was imposed in the reign of Queen Anne in order to provide, for a city officer called the garbler of spices or fot the Corporation, compensation for the loss of certain fees or profits received by that officer for proceedings then abolished as useless or mischievous ; but that the Corporation have long since ceased to have any garbler, and have received from the tax on brokers abundant compensation for the diminution in the profits of that office.
