CooIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, thi s d ay, accor di ng to I*. Reuter's t elegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 60c. The English Stock Market has shown symptoms of flatness to-day, owing to the little business in these securities. The recent and continued victories of the United States armies, and the surrender or dispersion of the South, cause very violent fluctua tions in the bonds and shares of the two powers. The Confederate loan has declined 5 per cent. to 12, 13, while United States 5-20 bonds have im proved 2i per cent, to 674, 68 ; Erie Railway shares have risen 4 per cent. to 49f, 52 ; and Illinois Central Railway shares 7 per cent, to 75k, 76. For these latter securities there is an exceedingly large demand, and prices continue daily to rise in value. Dealings in other descriptions are very inactive, and the markets re main dull. Consols have receded to 90k 91 for money, and to 91 for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 89 1 ; Exche quer Rills, ss. to 7s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 106 k 1071; Enfaced 5 per Cents., 1021 103 ; and bebentures 99i. Beyond the movement in the Confederate Loan there is no new feature of import ante in the Foreig n Market. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862 , are 73 ; ditto Consolides, 54 j. ; Mexican, 26i *; ditto New, 25i ; Greek, 20i ; Spanish Passive, 3 4 ditto Certificates, 16k ; Italian, 64k k ; and Russian, 921 f . 111 t he Railway Share Market there has been a .n air most am ount of busi n e ss t ransac t e d, an d p r i ces h ave in stances shown increased firmness. Metro politan have advanced £1 ; Lancashire and York e, London, Chatham, and Dover, and North Western, each 10s. ; and Great Eastern, Great Western, Midland, North Eastern (Berwick), and South Eastern, each ss. The Foreign and ,Colonial lines exhibit no mate ral change in values. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are also dull, and wit hout- any great variation in prices.

ONEY MARKET TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market has been moderately active to-day, as discounters are disinclined to enter into large transactions in case peaceful relations between the northern and southern states of America should be established. First class bills have not been nego tiated under 3i and 4 per cent. At the Bank of England on Saturday there were no bullion operations of importance. The Asia, from New York, has brought £6,709.

MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets, held on Saturday, was, on the whole, steady. Compared with the previous week, scarcely any change took place in prices. Barley, oats, beans and peas were in fair average request, at fully late rates. The flour trade was steady on former terms. Floating cargoes of wheat were ls. per quarter dearer than on Monday last. Spring corn, afloat, changed hands at full currencies. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by rail, were very moderate, both for Essex and Kent. The condition of the produce, result ing from the prevailing dry weather, exhibited considera ble improvement as compared with Monday last. In con sequence of the shortness of the supply, and the good con dition of the produce, the trade was somewhat active, and a clearance was readily effected at an advance in prices from this day sen'night of is. per qr. The market was very moderately supplied with most descriptions of foreign wheat. Good and fine old Dantzic wheat, owing to the inferior quality of the new crop, sold at high prices, viz., from 50s. to 545. per quarter. Other kinds of foreign wheat were in steady request, and the quotations had an upward tendency. Malt sold slowly, yet no- change took place in its value. The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. For nearly all qualities there was a steady demand, and prices ruled firm. Beans fully supported last Monday's currency. The show of samples was very moderate, and the trade conse quently ruled firm. Peas were in fair average request at full quotations. The market was scantily supplied both with English and foreign produce. The supply of English barley on sale was small ; of foreign but moderate. The trade was firm for all qualities, at fully last Monday's currency. In flour a fair business was transacted, and prices ruled firm. The supply of barrels on sale was small, of foreign sacks moderate. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASURE.

To-day's market was seasonably well supplied with foreign beasts in but middling condition. The show of sheep and calves was only moderate. Compared with Monday last the arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scot land, were on the increase, and most breeds were of full average quality. The beef trade was in a sluggish state, and in some instances prices gave way 2d per 81bs: How ever, the primest Scots and crosses realised 5s per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,700 Scots and crosses ; from other parts of Eng land, 600 various breeds ; from Scotland, 552 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 80 oxen and heifers. There was an increased supply of sheep , in the pens in fair condition. On the whole, the demand for all breeds ruled steady, and last week's prices were well supported. The best Downs and half-breds, out of the wool, sold at 6d per 81bs. ,Our quotations now refer solely to shorn sheep. Lambs—the supply of which was but moderate, were in active request at very full prices. Prime breeds produced Bs, in some instances 8s 2d per 81bs. There was a fair demand for calves at fully 4d per 81bs more money than on this day se'nnight. The top price was 5s 2d per Blbs. We have to report a steady sale for pigs at full quota ions.

BOROUGH HOP. The amount of business doing in hops is very moderate. Holders of home-grown produce, and of all good and fine foreign hops, are firm in their demands, and previous quo tations are fully supported. For inferior foreign hops the trade is slow, at late rates. Advices from the plantations state that the hop plant has made considerable progress during the last few days, and that polling will shortly be come general. Last week's imports were 7 bales from Bou logne, 25 Rotterdam, 4 Antwerp, and 22 bales from Bremen. Mid and East Kent ...... 1108 to 200 s per cwc.

Although business in English wo o l h as not materially increased since we last wrote, the trade h ere — o wing to an improved feeling in the state of the market in the manufac turing districts—has shown more firmness, but without leading to any change in prices as compared with our previous reports. This improvement is attributed to the recent news from America, and to the probability of an approaching and early termination of the civil war.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT A JEWELLER'S IN OX FORD-STREET.—Charles Davis, a tailor, residing in Marl borough-court, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with being concerned with two others in stealing 50 watches and other articles of jewellery of the value of £7OO from the shop of Mr. Jacobson, jeweller, 312, Oxford-street, on the 24th of February last. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prosecution. Evidence having been given by Loosley, 46 C, to the effect that on the night of the robbery he saw the prisoner near Mr. Jacobson's shop, in company- of the two persons in custody. The prisoner, who was taken into custody by Inspector Dafter, of the S division, was at the request of Mr. Lewis remanded for a week. AN ALLEGED LUNATIC CHARGED WITH ASSAULTS.-- George Haddon, a coachman, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with assaulting John Muller, of No. 24, Phillip's' buildings, Euston-road, cabinetmaker, and Mr. Albert Rudd, of 74, Dean-street, Soho, pianoforte-maker. The prisoner was originally charged with assaulting the first complainant, and was then bailed out. He afterwards assaulted the other complainant, and was then taken into custody, when he behaved in a very excited manner, and, with the view of keeping him quiet, it was thought advis able to allow his brother-in-law to remain with him in the dock. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the defence. Mr. Albert Rudd, pianoforte-maker, of 74, Dean-street, said that on Friday the prisoner called at the house several times and asked for Mrs. Head. He told the prisoner that no such person lived in the house, and he left. On Saturday night the prisoner came again and knocked violently at the door, and asked for Mrs. Head. He again told the prisoner that no such person lived in the house, and remonstrated with him, and was closing the door when the prisoner struck him on the head with his fist. Two policemen coming up, he told them what had occurred, when the prisoner returned, and in their presence gave him another blow, and he gave them in charge. A constable proved seeing the prisoner strike Mr. Rudd, and he then took him into custody. The next day the prisoner, who was very excited, threatened to blow Mr, Rudd's brains out, or to take his life in some other way. Mr. Lewis said it was the wish of the friends of the prisoner that he should be remanded, as there was every reason to believe his mind was affected. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner for a week that the state of his mind might be inquired into. THAMES. MORE RECKLESS DRIVING.—John Garton, aged 52, who was described as a Clerk of Works to the Metropolitan Board, Spring-gardens, and dwelling at No. 22, Cottage grove, Mile-end-road, was charged with furiously driving in the Commercial-road East, and running over Edward Sadler, aged five years. Edward Dillon, a police-constable, No. 19 K, stated that the child run down by the prisoner was in the London Hospital, under medical treatment. He charged the pri soner with having, on Saturday last, the 22d of April, while ho appeared to be in drink, driven a horse and cart along a public road, and endangered the lives of people on that road. He was called to the surgery of Mr. Harris, in the Commercial-road, on Saturday, and saw a child in great pain, and looking Tory pale. There was the mark of a cart-wheel over the child's loins. He said to the prisoner, who was present, "The surgeon is not in. You had better drive me in your trap to the London Hospital." The prisoner said, " I will take the child, but the like of you shall not ride with me ; mind what you are talking about. I shall'write to Sir Richard Mayne and have you severely punished ; perhaps you don't know who I am." He asked the prisoner his name, and he pointed to a man in the crowd and said that man will tell you my name. He told the prisoner he must have it from himself. The prisoner said his name was Garton, and that he was an inspector of the Metropolitan Board of Works, in Whitehall-place (Spring-gardens). He said, "As you will not drive me to the London Hospital with this child, I must send it to the London Hospital in a cab." The prisoner then addressed the people, and asked if any one had seen him driving. Two men named Carey and Abbott stepped forward and said "Yes, we saw him run over the child." The prisoner asked if he was driving quick, and both men said yes. The prisoner said he was not. Another witness named Lee came up, and others said " 1 saw him driving very fast, and there were four in the cart at the time." He told the prisoner the child might die and he must take him into custody. The prisoner said, " Very well, but you had better be careful ; I will severely punish you for this ; there are too many of the d-d children about the streets." The prisoner was very much excited at the time and appeared to be in drink ; on the way to the court the prisoner said " Poor little fellow, its a bad job."--Ile had seen the child in the hospital, and there was no doubt it was very severely injured. Three men named John Curay, James Abbott, and Richard Harriso n d eposed to seeing t h e i n j ure d c hild w ith another boy a littl e older crossing th e C ommerc i a l- roa d near the Whit e H orse-gate, Stepney, when the prisoner, who was in a d ogcart and driving furiously, knocked down the child, and the wheel went over its body. The other boy had a very narrow escape. There were three other men and a boy in the prisoner's cart. In cross-examination by Mr. Charles Young, the wit nesses could not speak with certainty of the speed of the defendant's horse. One witness said the horse was going at the rate of more than five miles an hour, and another at the rate of six or seven miles an hour. Dillon said a gentleman had given him his card, and said the prisoner ought to lie ashamed of himself for driving so furiously. That gentleman would, attend if necessary. The name and a d dress on the card was "Mr. P. C. Gavella, Lower Clapton." The prisoner was remanded until Thursday, bail being taken for his appearance, himself in £lOO and two sureties of £5O each. Before . the hea r i ng of the night charges a gentleman applied . to Mr. Paget f or a summons against a man for en dangering his life by furious and reckless driving, and said the east was becoming worse every day. The summons was granted. Inspector Griffin of the K division said three mounted police constables were continually on duty in the Mile-end and Bow-road, between Whitechapel Church and Bow road, to check the dangerous and ill ega l practice of furious driving, so prevalent in that important line of thorough fare. A NEW EPIDEMIC.—Dr. Velpeau, on Monday last, communicated to the Academy of Sciences a paper by Dr. Carre on a disorder which has been raging in Savoy during the last few years, and which seems to have some points in common with the present epidemic at St. Petersburg. It makes its appearance in winter, and its intensity is in proportion to the length and severity of that season. It chiefly attacks children, women, and old men —that is, persons who, in mountainous countries, remain within doors, without any distinction of classes. It begins with headache, singing in the ears, nausea, and vertigo. These symptoms soon disappear if the patient has but a slight attack ; but, in the contrary case, is soon seized with an obstinate cough, anxiety, and a tendency to syncope, diarrhoea, and spitting of blood, which may end in death. Children are known to have been carried off in 24 hours. The disorder bears some resemblance to croup, to cerebro spinal meningitis and typhus fever. It is not very well known, and has only been observed in Savoy since the in troduction of cast-iron stoves; and it is only in those houses which are heated by them that children, women, and old men, are attacked by it, while those who work in the open air are never seized with it. In a school at Cham bery it was observed that the pupils who were kept in rooms warmed with stoves of earthenware, were quite exempt from the complaint, while those who were exposed to the action of cast-iron stoves were nearly all seized with it ; and in a room where the stoves were new, four deaths occurred, without counting the cases which did not end fatally. Dr. Carre is of opinion that cast-iron stoves ex hale oxide of carbon, a very volatile and deleterious gas ; so that wherever there is an evolution of this substance with a certain degree of intensity, the epidemic infallibly bi-eaks out. M. Regnault, after the reading of this com munication, inquired whether the places heated by cast iron-stoves had been well ventilated ; he feared they had not, and that this was the chief cause of the complaint alluded to. SPO. 'ES. The Newmarket Meeting, as I anticipated, witnessed the scratching of Liddington for the Derby and Broomielaw for the Two Tho usan d G u i neas, as well as the knocking about of Chattanooga. The latter horse is in perfect health, and those who are taking liberties will have to get out a nay short price for whatever race Mr. Naylor may intend him. The racing on Monday commenced inauspiciously for backers, ;rho took a very short price about Wingrave for the Craven Stakes, wherein his opponents, with the exception of Sir Roger, appeared to be such a "sorry" lot that the 71b. penalty which the Baron's horse carried as exemption from claim was scarcely taken into considera tion. Another, and far more important matter, was equally overlooked by "the talent"—the indifferent form shown by Baron Rothschild's stable at Northampton, which was made still further manifest on this occasion, as Wingrave suc cumbed to both Sir Roger and Pirate, the former of whom appeared to have the race in hand all the way up the cords, though, when Covey moved upon him, the horse, who laid his ears back descending the Bushes hill, refused to make an effort, except to pull Jimmy Grimshaw off his opponent, which caused the latter to " yell out" on passing the post. The Pirate's success, as in the Doncaster Trial Stakes, surprised nobody more than Mr. Savile, who backed him at 100 to 15 and 50 to 71 only, but considered himself sufficienty remunerated in obtaining £5OO for the winner, who was claimed by Mr. Merry at that figure. The Grinder, contrary to expecte tion,was pulled out for his engagement,wherein he was only opposed by a Mongrel opponent, who failed, however, to extend the City and Suburban favourite, on whom Ford ham inaugurated a "good day' for himself and the Mar quis of Hastings, whose colours were three times victorious. There was very little future event betting on the Heath. Towards the close 700 to 100 was offered on the field fox the Derby, and 800 to 100 "bar one," the layer "barring" The Duke, who thus became first favourite "before the day," as his friends have all along maintained he would. The Newmarket Handicap, run on Tuesday, was a floorer for the prophets, as they were all John Davis mad, my selected Accident winning with the utmost ease. The whole of the ten 2-yr-olds entered for the £5O Plate (on the first half of the Abingdon mile) went to the post, and, judging from the squandering of the field before they had run a third of the distance, the majority must be very bad, very backward, or only " out for an airing," as the three placed and the Flash of Lightning filly had it all to themselves throughout. Amongst the quartette were the only three backed—viz., Mazeppa, the Flash of Lightning filly, and 'Henbane, the former pair carrying the money, which looked like going into the coffers of the fielders, until Henbane--not the first time they would have profited by a dose —swerved half-way up the cords, and left Mazeppa the hero of the hour. Twenty starters for the Biennial, which stood next for decision, partook more of a I Derby than a Two Thousand field, and amongst the number were emissaries from all the great stables inte- 1 rested in those more important engagements, with the ex ception of Whitehall and Spring Cottage. We speak of the "present tense," as a former member of the latter establish ment, which he quitted on I'Anson becoming private trainer to Lord Poulett and Mr. Chaplin, put in an appearance quite unexpectedly, which will account for his being with out owner or colours on the card. The main interest of the race beforehand centred in Kcenig, Tennyson, Audax, Barbarossa, Joker, and the Caloyer, so far as either Two Thousand or Derby was concerned, the first and last named being the heroes of the betting, until the backward condition of Sir Joseph Hawley's horse caused his decline from 100 to 15 (his price at first) to 10 to 1 at starting,which could have been had about anything " bar one" at the cords. Kcenig—who, as he walked down the course, struck us as having grown quite the three-quarters of an inch John Day informed us he has since the autumn—Was the great "pot," and he accomplished exactly what John Day told the Duke of Beaufort he would beforehand—beat all the lot he had previously met, or Danebury knew anything about ; though at the foot of the hill keenig's Ascot con queror, Tennyson, looked "all over" like repeating that performance, but showed the white feather again as at Stockbridge, which no operation will eradi dicate or cure, and suffered defeat even for the smaller per centages attaching to third honours by King Charming. The performance was so highly estimated, that Kangaroo found plenty of backers for both Two Thousand and Derby, the rush to be " on"—amongst the "clever people," too-- for the short race being so general, that he quickly ad vanced from 10 to 1 (laid at first) to half that price, whilst 30 to 1 was taken freely about him for the Derby, and "long shots" offered against everything behind him, Caloyer especially, who is certain to see a better day, nevertheless, for though left behind in consequence of raw ness at the post, he ran "bang into his horses" at last. The sensation feature of the day to which even the Kangaroo revolution wfll not bear comparison, was the scratching of Broomielaw for the Two Thousand at 4.10;p.m., which called forth some severe remarks from those who backed the horse overnight and this morning. No blame can attach to Mr. Chaplin, however, as he placed himself in the hands of a leading member of the Jockey. Club im mediately upon learning the state of the market,after reach ing Newmarket this afternoon ; and he preferred putting up with the loss of the race itself to running Broomielaw in preference to Broadalbane, upon whom the public had so pertinaciously sot their affections, notwithstanding the open assertions of certain writers that tho horse would not start for the Guineas. The effect of this proceeding was to bring Broomielaw into increased favour for the Derby, for which race he was backed at 20 to 1, whilst it had a depressing influence on Breadalbane for each event, as much as 6 to 1 being offered against the latter for the Guineas, and 9 to 1 (laid to £3OO in one bet) for the Derby. The 50 Sovereign Sweepstakes on the T.Y.C. was reduced to a match be tween Peeress and Venus, the former of whom took all the shine out'Of the Goddess of Beauty, who made a gallant fight of it, nevertheless, for such a pony. The Subscrip tion Plate for all ages, on the same course, brought out half the ten entered, and the defeat of Catalogue (who has evidently taken to in-and-out-running like her neigh bours), by The Warrior and Gemma created far greater surprise than her success on Monday, as no previous running of the "gallant grey," who outpaced the two mares all the. way, warranted the anticipation of such a result ; although his performance on the second day at Shrews bury last autumn, when beaten three-quarters of a length by Stockinger, to whom he gave two years and 101 b, was too good to be quite overlooked, more especially after Stockinger's subsequent running with Twilight at Warwick, and more recently at Northampton this season. The result of the Column, it was asserted beforehand, would likewise enable the Derby backers of the " Chinese" Salpinctes to hedge their early Epsom investments, and a short price was taken about him for to-day's race, which brought out another Derby outsider in Don Basilio, of about the same grade —a very low one, from all appear ances, as Jack o' Lantern disposed of the whole " boiling" in such clever style that 1000 to 5, we should imagine, might have been had about the lot behind him for the " blue riband." The racing terminated with the Derby Trial Plate, which brought out four runners only in File de l'Air (71b extra), Lord Zetland (allowed 101 b), the Mcestissima filly, and St. Magnus, whose penalties and allowances gave the race a quasi handicap character —of some importance as concerning the Duke of Beaufort's horse and Mr. Merry's filly, as it amounted to nothing short of a public Chester Cup trial with the best 4-yr-old in the world, who, we may state at once, appears to have retained her form this season, though looking bad in her coat, as she pulled over her opponents from the start, and literally ran away from them when Grimshaw let her go. Neither Lord Zetland nor the Mces tissima filly were ridden out, consequently the public are no wiser than before regarding their Chester Cup chances ; but at the Rooms, afterwards, the 71b more favourable terms upon which the Duke's horse meets his younger op ponent on the Roodee gave Lord Zetland the decided call, albeit superseded by his stable companion Ackworth, Vic torious, and La Toucques, who were backed at 11 to 1, 12 to 1, and 100 to 8 respectively ; whilst 100 to 7 was offered against Lord Zetland, and 100 to 6 against the Mcestissima filly: 15 to 1 was taken about Lion, who was backed for a "monkey" each against to-day's performers, his old supporter likewise taking 600 to 400 that he beats Ack worth. The principal meeting this week will be at Epsom Last week I advised the readers of The Sun to let Mail Train alone for the City and Suburban Handicap, and shunt their money on Lampoon, who was then at 20 and 25 to 1. Mail Train is now almost friendless. Whether Lampoon wins or "not, there has been good hedging. Columbia has come with a rush in the betting, but in the face of the steady support awarded to The Grinder, I cer tainly would give him the preference. Without going through the merits of all the horses engaged, I will take three to beat the field, viz., THE GRINDER or COLUMBIA to win, and MENACE for a place. The Metropolitan has PLANET and Joan DAVIS engaged, and one of them should furnish the winner, next- to whom I fancy Verger and Renfrew. The Two-Yr-Old Stakes will be won by Qui Vive or Osiris, and the New Two-Yr-Old Stakes by Macdonald. A FRESH MAN. WINDSOR STEEPLECHASES.—SATURDAY.

The favourite carried on 'the running past the stand, when at the artificial fence he came down, but was remounted and gave chase. Bravo carried on the running to the far side, where Benedict came down a burster, and was out of the race. Who dare say 800 struggled on in pursuit of Bravo till within about a quarter of a mile from home, where he was pulled up, and Bravo cantered in alone.

After going about half a mile Doubloon rushed to the front, and soon held a long lead, which lie maintained to tho end, and can tered past the winning-post alone. The Rogue walked in with the crowd, and was the only other who passed the chair. THIRSK RACES-SATURDAY. The Scurry Handicap of 3 sovs each, with 50 added. About three furlongs. Mr. N. E.

When fairly round the top turn Young Tollerton rushed to the front, and made play at a good pace, Mischief run ning at his heels, Fullsail lying well up about the middle of the ruck. Young Tollerton and Mischief raced for the lead to the half-mile post, when the former gave way, and Mischief, attended by Extra Number, Fullsail, and The Witch, came on in front into the straight. Half way up Fullsail challenged Mischief, and eventually won cleverly by a length and a half ; head between second and third ; bad fourth, Tiger was fifth, and the last three were Young Tollerton, Charley, and Superb.

Macbeth got away in front, and showed the way for a few strides, when Huntsman's Daughter took the command, Macbeth running second, Ameer third, Mr. Osborne's pair heading the remaining horses, who ran in wide order, with Irrita tion, who bolted at the town turn, a long way in the rear. Along the back stretch Macbeth shot to the fore, and made play at a good pace, Ameer, King Charming, Huntsman's Daughter, Gaily, and Lady of Coverdale going next, the whippers-in being Alice, Alice Fauconberg, and Brown Bread. Little change took place until reaching the wood side, where Huntsman's Daughter and King Charming re tired from the front rank, and Gaily and Lady of Cover dale improved their positions. Entering the straight Mac beth still held the lead, and although Gaily, Ameer, and Lady of Coverdale made vigorous efforts all the way up to reach Macbeth, they failed, and Mr. Barber's horse won cleverly by two lengths ; neck between second and third ; half a length third and fourth. Alice Fauconberg was fifth, and the last lot were Alice, King Charming, and Brown Bread.

The advance asked by many spinners has been still more, and this has tended to restrict operations ; but the feeling in the market is very strong, and business closes with an upward tendency. There has also been a good demand for all descriptions of home-trade yarns and for most counts. Prices are ld. to 2d. per lb. dearer than on Tuesday, and there has been a large business done during the week, and especially to-day. The cloth-market is somewhat excited, and more business is doing, but prices do not keep pace with those in yarn and cotton. There is a tendency to higher prices, but buyers do not act with freedom where any consider able advance is involved. There is a disposition to operate, and offers for large quantities of clothhave been made, but in most cases at prices which cannot be accepted by manufacturers. Manufacturers find the yarn and cotton market constantly rising, and have been prevented from accepting many extensive contracts from the difficulty they find in inducing merchants to give the prices which in a rising market would cover the increased cost in yarn. The operations of the day in cloth have been rather con siderable, but not by far so extensive as they would have been at steadier prices. NOTTINGHAM, 21st—There was a fair attendance fortten dan at the Exchange-hall to-d a y.

THE ENGLISH BALLAD OPERA REDIVIVUS AT ASTLEVEL—Mr. E. T. Smith's next move announced is the engagement of Miss L. Pyne and her sister, with a view of reviving the ballad operas in which a Stephens, a Braham, an Incledon, delighted the generation of play goers before " Mazeppa," the poem, was thought of. A JOKE ABOUT A COUPLE OF SOVEREIGNS ! In an old French caricature, dated 1814—A John Bull appears on all fours, with the head of Louis XVIII., and the subscription :—" Un gros cochon, dlevi en Angleterre, qui passe pour dix-huit Louis, mais qui ne vaut pas un Napoleon." DANIEL DANCER THE MISER.—The readers of " Our Mutual Friend" may be interested to read agngdhdliciheidie ep the following particulars in regard to one of the chief objects of Mr. Boffin's admiration :—Daniel Dancer was the son of a miser, and seems to have fully followed out his example. His sister was quite of a congenial cha racter. On Sunday they boiled a sticking of beef with 14 hard dumplings, which lasted for a whole week. But once he found on the common (Harrow Weald) a sheep which had died of disease. This Miss Dancer cut up and made into pies, on which they feasted ifnor which, as time. When his sister died, an elder brother claimed her fortune, £2,000, but Dancer sot up a claim at law for her board and lodging during thirty years, at £3O per a e bannum, said, sahnedha-Cdlronefonr otthheinlgastbuttwbueoatytbweaeoanursclni.dl On this claim he recovered £1,040. H o scarcely ever changed his linen or cleansed his skin. When he performed n i g e e a v i nepri pinch. his ablutions, he used sandt this instead ig e cheap of p o e b t, o a p n . and would llived a ex u c it h e a a nlgoenef,robbed t bbe the any, him self in contenting the su n . himselfH e was with fond occasionallyo f snuff, Nor would he always use o a r nd a luxury, l ru as swh o l i f g te la n t by burglars, who forced him to point out his hoards by d great cruelty, sometimes suspending him by the neck before chandler's in a g al 1i he would make confessions where he kept his money. Lady Temple had been very kind to hi his whole p roperty. An ebime,etien and to her her he left to his will, because h e h a d made noprovision taken for ~ his broth ers, h e replied, If I were of an ancient family I would not disinherit the male heirs, it would be unjust; but I have long meant to leave my pro perty to a stranger , who is ranger, brothers are old, have more than they can spend or use properly, and they have no children. I am ashamed of myself, and of them. I have not even improved my pro perty, and were I to live my time over again I would not do as I have done." In his house, after his death, bowls were found buried in the garden, filled with guineas and half-guineas, parcels of bank-notes were stuffed under the covers of old chairs, jugs of dollars and shillings were found in the stables ; the cow-house dungheap contained £2,500, a tattered jacket, nailed to the manger, was padded with £5OO in gold ; in the chimney £2OO was hidden, a cracked teapot contained £6OO, and it was labelled "not to be hastily looked over." He died in 1794. He passed the greater portion of his life at Harrow, but frequently spent a few days in London, when his usual associate was Mr. Taylor. They were both well known in and about the Bank of England, the Exchange, and Stock Market. Business brought them together at short inter vals, but it was a source of much pleasure to both to feast their eyes on the heaps of coins constantly changing hands on the counters of the Rotunda. They were frequently the prey of pickpockets, who knew and waylaid them, but quite as often being mistaken for mendicants, they would receive even pence from the charitable.—City Press.
