4 MONEY - MARKET AN. OurtIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, Two O'CLOCK. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele gram, the French 3 per Cent Rentes were 67f. 20c. The Money Market continues in a rather strin gent condition, and although only a very small business has been negotiated to-day in consequence of the closing of the Stock Exchange, bills have not been discounted under 3i 4 per cent, the former quotation representing exceptional transactions. As usual on the Ist May, the Stock Exchange has been closed to-day, in order to allow the half yearly accounts at the transfer offices of the Bank of Eng land to be balanced. 175,000 sovereigns for Antwerp were taken out of the Bank of England on Saturday. Mr. William George Prescott, of the firm of Presscott, Grote, and Co., bankers, of Thread needle-street, expired rather suddenly at his re sidence at Roehampton, on Saturday evening last. At the first general meeting to-day of the City of London Real Property Company, the directors recommended a dividend of 7 per cent. for the past half-year. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. SATURDAY.

Mr. Slidell on the Late Assassination, -+- The following letter was written by Mr. Slidell, in reply to an invitation from the Rev. Archer Gurney to attend a funeral service on account of the death of President Lincoln in the Protestant church, Paris : " Paris, April 28. "My dear Sir,—No one could have heard with greater horror and regret than I the intelligence of the atrocious crimes perpetrated at Washington. N o one could repudiate with sterner indignation the idea that the assassins had received prompting or encouragement from friends of the Confederate cause. Perhaps no two prominent persons of the Federal Government could have been selected who excited in a less degree feelings of personal hostility and vindictiveness than President Lincoln and his Secretary of State. lam much obliged to you for inviting me and my family to assist at the solemn service which you propose to hold to-morrow at your chapel, and could we be present to manifest simply the feelings which I have briefly expressed we would not hesitate to kneel with you in prayer for the souls of the victims. But reflection will, I am sure, satisfy you that our pre sence on the melancholy occasion would be subject to various and unnatural misconstructions, received on the part of some as a hypocritical display of re gret we did not feel, by others as a virtual acknow ledgment of the injustice of • the cause in the de fence of which so many noble martyrs have fallen, a nd as a tacitly implied acquiescence in the course of Policy pursued by Mr. Lincoln since his accession to power on the 4th of March, 1861. I will take Pleasure in compliance with your request, to let any Confederate friends whom I see to-day know of the intended ceremony. —Believe me, very sincerely, your friend and servant, " JOHN SLIDELL." M. LAVESSIERE.—This distinguished tenor, who has been singing at the Oxford Music Hall for some time back, w ith the greatest possible eclut, will con clude his engagement in the course of the present week, and. return, We believe, to the Theatre Lyrique, Paris, L'which theat re he left when ho came over to England. M ave ! sie re, by his fi ne, i mpassioned stlye and genu i ne ex sin Qua len, has really taught our phl egma tic artists how to ~g' a nd his app roac hi ng absence is to be regretted.

There was a large supply of foreign beasts and sheep on sale at our market, to-day, for the most part in very middling condition. With foreign calves, the market was moderately supplied. Generally speaking, the trade. was slow, on rather easier terms. Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were good, both as to number and quality. The re ceipts from Scotland were large, and the condition of the stock was very prime. For all breeds of beasts the trade was in an inactive state, and prices declined 2d. per tlbs., from Monday last, the top figure being 4s. 10d. per 81bs. Prime heavy Scots and Crosses sold at 4s.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we re ceived 2,160 Scots and Crosses; from other parts of Eng land, 750 of various breeds; from Scotland, 940 Scots and Crosses ; and from Ireland, 150 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep on sale was moderate, and the quality of the stock was moderately good. The mutton trade was decidedly quieter than on Monday last; never theless, good and prime Downs and half-brads changed hands, in most instances, at that day's currency. Inferior sheep declined in value 2d. per 81bs., out of the wool. There was a fair supply of lambs on sale, and the lamb trade was dull. Prices ranged from 6s.

Who was the man who, conversing amid suspicion andthe unfavourable criticisms of the world, simply by dint of his own simplicity of character, his own steadfastness, truth fulness, and utter selfishness of porpoise, had won his way to the admiration of the world ? Who was it but this man of the people, this uneducated man, without experience in great affairs; this man, whose -heart, visible before the world, grew sadder and gentler to the last, amid all the death and all the suffering which he witnessed ? Who was it but Abraham Lincoln, the martyr of his country and of freedom. (Cheers.) Mr. POTTER, M.P. for Rochdale, in seconding the reso lution, stated that he stood in the place of the great and good man Richard Cobden, whose highest praise it was that his life was devoted to the work of dignifying labour. This too, was the noble mission of President Lincoln. He sought to put an end to slavery. He (Mr. Potter) wished to destroy serfdom at home. He rejoiced.that popular Go vernment had stood the severe test to which it had been subjected; that the so-called 4 ' bubble of.democracy " had not burst, and he hoped to see the spirit of democracy ex tend in our land. Mr. BAXTER, M.P. for Montrose, in supporting the reso lution, joined in the expression of his deep regret at the untimely death of President Lincoln by an act than which history had recorded none more atrocious. But whilst deeply regretting this terrible calamity, he could not for a moment imagine that the glorious cause of emancipation in America, the triumph of free constitutional government, and the suppression of the revolt of the slaveholder, depended on the life of ono single man. (Cheers.) The contest between a great democracy and a slave-owning aristocracy would, he was convinced, be brought to a satisfactory conclusion, and he was much mistaken if the result would not give an impetus on this side of the Atlantic to the cause and pro gress of reform. The Hon. LYELL STANLEY, a son of Lord Stanley of Al derley, who had recently visited America, said—l am proud to have this opportunity to add my testimony to those which you have heard in honour of this great and good man, President Lincoln, who has been taken from us so suddenly and so deplorably. I think, in the speeches which we have heard to-night, it has very properly been insisted upon as one of the leading traits of President Lincoln's character, that he was full of gentleness, and forbearance, and tolera tion, even to those Southern insurgents who, as has been said, with truth, I believe, proposed to take his life as he passed through Baltimore on the way to the capital for his first inauguration. One of his most striking characteristics was that, while holding firmly and tenaciously to that great principle which he was elected to support—l mean the restriction of slavery in the territories—and while he was willing,as occasion offered, to bring on to the side of freedom the exercise of the war power which he used in preserving the Union, he was able, side by side with that determina tion, to resist evils, able to be forbearing and tolerant to the Southern people. I had the pleasure about this time last year to see Mr. Lincoln at Washington. Mr. Seward took me to see him. I recollect it was just after that horrible massacre at Fort Pillow. He commenced talking of it to Mr. Seward and was reluctant to believe it. There had been other massacres before, and he was talking of doing then what I believe was afterwards dcne—sending a senator out to the West to investigate the facts. He was loth to believe that his countrymen, even misguided and blinded by slavery, could commit such horrible acts as that. It was this charac teristic forbearance and generosity to his foes which pre eminently characterised President Lincoln, and which I specially admired in him, connected as it was with firmness of principle. Mr. H. FAwcETT and Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE, M.P. for Reading, also supported the resolution, which, like the preceding one, was carried without a dissentient voice. Mr. CAIRD, M.P., proposed the following resolution:— "That copies of the foregoing resolutions be placed in the hands of the Hon. C. F.Adams, the American Minister, for transmission to his Excellency the President of the United States, Mrs. Lincoln, and the Hon. W. H. Seward." Mr. Grenfell, M.P. for Stoke, seconded, and Mr. Crum Ewing, M.P., the Rev. Mr. Newman Hall, and Mr. Mason Jones supported the resolution, which was also unani mously adopted, and the proceedings were brought to a close with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. Awful Suicide of Admiral Robert Fitzroy. A sensation, which it is almost impossible to de scribe, has been caused throughout the whole of the Norwood district, and, when this notice becomes public, will be shared with equal pain by the whole of the scientific world. Admiral Robert Fitzroy, the great prognosticator of the weather, has de stroyed his life by cutting his throat with a razor. The sad event took place at Lyndhurst House, Norwood, Surrey, yesterday morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. Head of stock on sale. Total supply. Foreign supply. Beasts 4,81) Beasts . C , we ..

The small supply of mustard seed on offer is held at high Mr. FORSTER, M.P., proposed the first resolution, which was—" That this meeting desires to give utterance to the feelings of grief and horror with which it has heard of the assassination of President Lincoln, and the murderous at tack upon Mr. Seward, and to convey to Mrs. Lincoln and to the United States Government and people an expression of its profound sympathy and heartfelt condolence." He said that the present was a time when the ties of blood which bound England and America together were, indeed, dearly felt, and the indignation which had swept through the land had been conveyed to the heart of every English man, as though some fearful calamity had fallen upon him self._ (Cheers.) It was to the credit of the country that all. classes, rich and poor, friends of the North and friends of the South, were anxious to show that they forgot all grounds of difference with their American kinsmen, and shared in deep sympathy with them their overpowering sorrow. It would be unpardonable for any Englishman to add fuel to that fire of anger, by the burning up of his heart, from which every American must pray to be pre served—by saying or insinuating that any of the leaders of the slaveholding rebellion either instigated or were cog nisant of this foul crime. Ho could not, however, avoid tracing it to the influence of that system of slavery which thoso leaders had fought to preserve, and which, until it is totally abolished, will render peace and safety impossible in America. He was anxious that a ship should not leave our shores to-night without taking out a message of sym pathy, and at the same time an expression of faith in the future, and our confident belief that the ruler to whom God has now entrusted the destinies of the country will be imbued with the spirit of the ;patriotic statesman whom they had now lost, and be actuated by that spirit of mingled firmness and moderation which, exercised as it had been with integrity and judgment under circumstances than which none were more trying, had made the name of Abraham Lincoln one that would be pre-eminent in all future history. (Great cheering.) Mr. PETER TAYLOR, M.P., seconded the resolution, and expressed his deep sympathy with the nation that had lost a worthy successor of tho great Washington—ono who had really fulfilled the task which God had put into his hands, of maintaining and extending the cause of human freedom. Ho did not believe that there was any danger of the Go vernment of the United States falling into the miserable mistake of retribution and vengeance, but thought - rather that the atrocious crime which had been committed would nerve the people as one man firmly and courageously, and without fear or favour, to consummate the union of North and South by establishing the emancipation of the negto. (Cheers.) _ _ Mr. LEATIIAM, ➢I.P., in supporting the resolution, said he was glad of the opportunity of publicly expressing his pro found sympathy with the great Union of North America upon their national bereavement. Of the crime itself he would not speak, for, like the preceding speakers,he felt that no terms of abhorrence which were at his command could adequately convey his sense of its enormity, nor would he speak of the manly and earnest statesman in the shadow of whose death he then stood. It was enough to say that his great career had passed into the domain of history,!and that history herself would be kind and just to the statesman who proclaimed liberty to four millions of our fellow-men, and who not only proclaimed it with his lips, but as though a special and priceless sacrifice were needed to give to his en actments irrevocable solidity he had sealed it with his blood. (Cheers.) The eyes of the world were now rivetted in ex pectancy on America. We had seen her pass triumphantly through a gigantic peril ; we expect to see her surmount with equal fortitude and equal dignity this, which would be perhaps the greatest and last of her severe trials. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. STANSFELD, M.P., proposed the next resolution, which was—" That this meeting desires also to express the entire confidence which it feels in the determination and the power of the Government and people of the United States to carry out to the full the policy or which Abraham Lincoln's presidential career was the embodiment, and to establish free institutions throughout the whole of the American re public." The hon. member said—Sir, wo are assembled here to-night, not so much by speech, for who is there who does not feel his heart too full for that utterance to-night, but by our common presence and our common acts to express the horror and indignation with which we have heard Of deeds so foul that history cannot produce their parallel, to express our sympathy, our deep and heartfelt sympathy, with the wife who has become a widow, and with the nation which staggers, while moaning, beneath the loss of its elect. But we are here, it seems to me, for a further purpose even than this. I at least can take no part in these proceedings without also at this the time of its direst trial, at its most momentous crisis, expressing my sympathy with a cause which began by being honourable, which grew to be righteous, and which above all by the acts, by the life, and by the death of their martyred President, has become sacred in our eyes. The cause of the North was in its conception an honourable cause. One who ranks high amongst us in influence and position, and upon this very question, as well as upon many others, deserves our respect, Lord Russell (cheers), once said that the North Was fighting for empire, and the South for independence. (Hear, cheers, and hisses.) He had himself on frequent occasions supplied the omissions which render inaccurate and incomplete the definition of this mighty struggle. The South was fighting for independence, but for independence with the sole and avowed and deliberate purpose of promoting and perpetu ating the institutions of human slavery. (Cheers.) The North was fighting for empire ? No. The North was fighting for a common country, which it would share, but which it would not allow to be torn asunder. I am not here to say that I for one could have justified the long persistence at so great a cost of life and suffering in that war had there been no other question than secession con cerned in it (hear), but the'crime of the South was from the very first a justification of the great cause of which the North was, it may be at first, in some part an unconscious and, if you will, in some part, even an unwilling instrument. Well, then, this cause, which began by being honourable, grew, as I have said, to be a righteous cause. Step by step the North grew to the height of this great, this holy argu ment. Every fear—every hope, I fear I must say—every hope of those who wished ill to the republic was disappointed. Each delay, each difficulty, each defeat, served to render more stern the resolve, higher dnd more pure the policy of the North, till from their original stand-point of the Union, extinction of slavery, up through the emancipation procla mation, to the final decree abolishing slavery through the States, the North rose to the full sense of that duty which perfected their right, and then, and not till then victory was permitted finally to crown their achievements. Now, who was it who from the first watched over and controlled over for good these various and progressive phases of this mighty struggle ? Who was the man, who taking his stand first within the Constitution and the law upon the ground of the non-extension of slavery to the territories of the United States, who then came as an act of war to feel that he might issue his emancipation proclamation ? Who next defeated the machinations of that party who loved the Union in such wise that, for union they would have sacrificed that sacred object which alone justified their war ? Who was it who contributed, perhaps more than any other man, to the passing of the first abolition decree ? Who was it who, when victory seemed to dawn upon the arms of the North before Richmond, was already there, thinking and busying himself about the works of recon struction and of peace ? Who was it whose face, wo have been told, ever since• those days had seemed radiant and illuminated with blessed thoughts of mercy and of peace ? ASSAULT ON A POLICE INSPECTOR—GETTING UP A SCENE AT A WORKHOUSE DOOR.—Charles West, Eliza West, and Jane Hampton, tho first two named husband and wife, and residing in Hand-court, Holborn, and the last-named resid ing near Fitzroy-market, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and behaving in a disorderly manner, and assaulting Inspector Silverton of the C Division. Inspector Silverton said about twelve the previous night he heard a disturbance at the door of St. James's Work hogs°, and on going up found the defendants and a woman not in custody, and who was well known to the police as a beggar. The male defendant was knocking at the door and demanding that the woman should be admitted. He said he paid poor-rates, and that if the woman was not admitted he would have the door down. The woman, in whose behalf he was interfering, was drunk, as also were all the defendants. He requested the defendants to leave and got them from the porch into the street. The male defendant then began making a sensation speech about the rights and wrongs of the poor-law system, and that he kept such persons as him (the inspector). He told him that he thought he had enough to do to keep himself, and he then came and made a rush at him, and his wife then scratched his face, clawing at him like a cat, and tearing the skirt off his coat and a part of his cape. He secured the male defendant and his wife, and then the other de fendant attacked him right and l e ft, an d a l s o tore his clothes After sometime, there being a scene of great excitement and confusion, the defendants were secured and taken into custody. In answer to the defendant, the inspector said he did not see a child in the arms of the woman he was interfering on behalf of. James Caird, of 46, Poland-street, corroborated the in spector. In answer to the male defendant, the witness said he heard him (the male defendant) talking a great deal about the law of the land. The inspector told him to go home and not make a noise. A person from tho workhouse said that two women, both of them drunk, came to the door, ono of them having a child. They said they had been refused admission at the casual ward, and as that was the case, they being drunk, he refused to admit them. The defendants came and made a great disturbance. In answer to the male defendant, the witness said that he certainly did say to him, " Go home to your mother." The male defendant said bis wife and her friend were not drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was afraid he (the male defendant) was drunk, and that he could not see that his friends were drunk too. The male defendant then entered into a long rigmarole as to how he had spent the day, the treatment he had re ceived, and how he had been insulted by everybody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that not much harm appeared to have been done, the fact being that all the defendants were drunk. The men would have to pay a fine of 10s., and the women ss, each. The Earl' and Countess of Lanesborough and Miss Eliza Butler have arrived at their residence in Great Stanhope-street from Smithland Hall, Leicestershire. ORDINARY OF NEWGATE.—On Saturday the alder men of London constituting the Gaol Committee, at a meet ing at Guildhall, presided over by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, elected the Rev. F. E.

Death of President Lincoln, --~ A crowded public meeting was held on Saturday night at St. James's Hall, for the purpose of expressing the feelings of detestation with which they had heard of the assassination of President Lincoln, and their condolence with his widow and the peopleof the United States. The chair was taken by Mr. W. Evans. Among the gentlemen present on the platform were—Mr. Crum Ewing, M.P. ; Mr P. A. Taylor, M.P. ; Mr. W. E. Forster, M.P. ; Mr. G. Hadfield, M.P.; Mr. Grenfell, M.P. ; Mr. T. B. Potter, M.P. ; Mr. Caird, M.P.; Mr. E. Baines, M.P.; Mr. J. White, M.P.; Mr. B.A. Leatham, M.P.; Mr. J. Stansfeld, M.P. ; Mr. Gurney,:M.P. for Falmouth; Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P. ; Hon. Mr. Stanley (son of Lord Stanley of Alderley), Professor Fawcett, Mr. Edmund Beales, Mr. Mason Jones, Mr. Vernon Harcourt, Major Evans Bell (Madras Army), Dr. Hodgkin, Mr. Ser geant Parry, Mr. B. Moran (secretary to the American Le gation), Judge Winter, Mr. Cyrus H. Field, Dr. Cleveland (Connecticut, United States), Dr. Bliss, Colonel Hoe, Rev. R. Everest, and others. The CHAIRMAN briefly explained the object for which the meeting was called, and expressed a hope that, although the country had lost the valuable guidance of President Lincoln, his successor would be actuated by the same policy and guided by the same principles as those which had been pro fessed and acted upon by the great and good man who had been the victim of the foul murder which they all deprecated. Mr. CRESSON, the secretary, read a letter from Sir C. Lyall, regretting his inability to attend, and stated that he had re ceived letters to a similar effect from Lord Hou ghton, Mr Bazley, M.P., Mr. Goschen, M.P., Mr. Buxton, M.P., and . others. ions. SPORTING NOTES. The races at Epsom, last week, brought out some good fields. The first event decided was the Trial Stakes, which was contested by Twilight and Birchbroom, the latter of whom, though with much the worst of the weights, opened the favourite at 6 to 4, but the odds gradually veered round on the old mare,who justified the movement by winning in a canter, Lord Westmoreland's horse being in trouble after rounding Tattenham Corner, at which many an even "pony" was dropped by those who jumped to conclusions too hastily, from a notion that Edwards was hard upon Twilight. The announcement of 14 starters for the Riker man Plate looked more like business, and afforded plenty of employment in the Ring, where short prices —averaging 4 and 5 to I—were at first taken about Poodle and Romola, but both were superseded at last by Hesper and The Gem; and after the latter (who, with Romola, Joss Stick, Bay Leaf, and Litt) e Jess, caused most of the false starts, which occasioned a belay of half an hour at the outset) had run the course through, the old horse was backed for more money than anything, in spite of his "steadier" of lOst. 101 b. Brilliantly though he wound up the season last year (in the course of which he started no tewer than twenty three times) by winning a half-mile handicap at Shrews bury, carrying 9st 101 b (giving 3st all but 21b to Lady Bohun, 3st llb to Balornock, 141 b to Attraction, 13Ib to Welland, &c.) Hesper, though a roarer, surpassed all his previous triumphs, as well as those of Miss Julia, Nutbush, and other half-mile celebrities, on this occasion, by winning with the welter weight of 10st 101 b, after a slashing finish with Mr. Saxon's filly, to whom ho gave 4st 21b ! The field for the City and Suburban was the smallest for several years past. The betting underwent several fluctuations after mustering on the Downs, when 5 to 1 was offered on the field, and 13 to 2 " bar one," The Grinder having the decided call of Accident, next towhom separated by a "widish gulf," stood Paris, at 100 to 8. The latter soon evinced symptoms of further improvement, however, and coming all of a sudden after Hesper's race, he soon became as hot a favourite as at Northampton, giv ing the go-bye to both the Lewes horse, who was very " fishy" at last, and The Grinder, notwithstanding the cir cumstance of Grimshaw, who was engaged to Mr. Smith for Swordsman, being given up to Lord Hastings, and Mr. S. contenting himself with Carroll for the quondam Northampton " crack." The Grinder was not only affected by the advance of Paris, but by the support awarded to his stable companion Master Richard, who, though the top weight, had plenty of friends amongst the cognoscenti, who will back a race horse in moderate company. The same remark will apply to Argonaut, though there were three better favourites than Sir Joseph Hawley's horse in Columbia, Connection, slur - Friday ; whilst Menace (who has been purchased by Mr. Ten Breech since she ran third in the Spencer Plate), went " clean out" after the Parisian demonstration ; and Agatha, although strongly fancied by the Littleton stable, likewise declined on the previous day's quotation. Columbia, about whom there was such a furore for the Cambridgeshire last year, has been trained at Findon for her present engagement, and though the trial ended unsatisfactorily, owing to Aurelian breaking his leg therein, she again had a host of supporters. An old handicap favourite, whose name has seldom been heard in connection with any event this sea son, to the unaccountable astonishment of the bookmakers made his reappearance somewhat unexpectedly, as his name was omitted altogether from the cards. We allude to Muezzin, now the property of Mr. W. Robinson, who ran so forward right into the distance (havingraced with Con traband to Tattenham Corner), as to lead to the impression that the "good thing" he has so often been backed to bring off would be landed by his new owner, as some sort of re compense for the loss of Kangaroo ! But the Muezzin had tolled his own knell, and though the horse managed to "catch the judge's eye," the fourth place he obtained was barren both of honour and emolument ; the "place betters" in particular getting a rare turn on the race by a couple Of outsiders like Argonaut and Swordsman both securing "berths." The latter had nothing to do with the victory it self, which was gallantly fought out by Argonaut and The Grinder, though the former was more than a length first oppo site the Stand, the young one overhauled him so rapidly when called upon, that, coupled with fears of the old horse refusing to struggle home the utmost excitement prevailed until the hoisting of Argonaut's number proclaimed another Epsom triumph for Sir Joseph's popular " cherry" jacket and Wells, when loud cheering burst forth on all sides. Sir Joseph Hawley, IVO believe, backed Argonaut for £lOO only at 25 to 1; but all the bookmakers laid against the winner. The field for the Metropolitan greatly exceeded expectation, and the announcement of nineteen starter; (within one of the short race) is a most gratifying sign of the times. Blackdown, who ran untried, carried a deal of good money notwithstanding, and left off decidedly second favourite; and Breeze, who had done a "good thing" at home with Wingrave, trod closely upon the heels of Planet at last ; whilst Renfrew, against whom an unfavourable prejudice existed, declined to 100 to 6, and was superseded by both Dollar and Welcome. Nuneaton, who had been "whispered" and backed as a "good thing," made way at last for his stable companion, Sandal, upon whom a lot of good money was quietly invested at the nice price of 25 to I—the same as was laid against Argonaut the day before! The stable started Onesander to secure a pace for the favourite, and the latter "coming to the rescue" after his stable companion was done with, it was a true-run race throughout, the effects of which were apparent on Verger as soon as anything, as ho ran a long way in trouble, and had nothing to do with the finish, which, left to Planet and Sandal, produced almost as fine a contest as that between Argonaut and The Grinder the day be fore, resulting in the victory of Planet by a length. Dollar ran a great horse up to the Stand, where the weight told, and giving way at that point Blackdown and Verger had the honour of contesting the only remaining situation to which the emolument of "place money" attached, which the Lewes horse secured by a head. Planet, who is the joint property of Mr. Craven and Lord Uxbridge, has hitherto been a most unfortunate horse, though invariably running sufficiently forward in great races to distinguish himself in good company—second in the Clearwell and Prendergast, when two years old; fifth for the Cesarewitch, and fourth in the Liverpool Autumn Cup at three ; and second in the Northampton shire stakes at four ; and though he pulled off a good stake for his party and the public his_ joint owners do not land above X 5,000 a piece. The Two Thousand Guineas, run at Newmarket to morrow, will be the most interesting race of the meeting, as giving a clue to the probable winner of the Derby. There has been more mystery attaching to this event than has ever been known before. What with the knocking about of Liddington, the scratching of Broomielaw after having won his trial, and the uncertain starting of Chatta nooga and Gladiateur, the sporting writers are in as great a fog as the horse watchers who saw the reported trial of Breadalbane and Broomielaw. The field will in all likeli comprise most of the following : Ariel T. Ashmall. Archimedes F. Martin. Bedminster Wells. Breadalbane Custance. Chattanooga Gladiateur Inca, The J. D oyle. Jack o' Lantern Joker Kangaroo Koenig Liddington Pantaloon Rifle Tennyson Tilt Zambesi ~ J. Grimshaw. .. G. Fordham. Cannon. Kangaroo, who was bought in a selling race, and was purchased by the Marquis of Hastings after his success over Kceing in the Biennial, is now as good a favourite as anything in the race. With the exception of Bedminister, Ariel, Breadalbane, Liddington, Gladiateur, and Chatta nooga, he must hold all the rest safe. Bedminster, after the success of Argonaut, has come with a rush in the market, as little as 5 and 6to 1 being taken. He will be steered by Wells, one of the most accomplished jockeys of the day. Chattanooga is an uncertain starter, but if Mr. Naylor should determine to bring him out at tho last minute, I should hold his chance second to none. Bread album) is one of the dark division, but I think his action will be more suited to the Epsom course ; however, his owner thinks highly of him, and he might run into a place. Liddington looks and goes well, and those whc‘are taking liberties with him may have cause to regret it afte z rt d h ,s e numbers go up. Ariel will carry the ho p es of the Wiar t stable, and no trainer can bring a horse fitter to the post than John Scott. He has been backed a for heaps of p a e r r k b e y t A money, rchim e d b e o s t h is now for all the but T knwoockehrosautud in the nd market, tateur . but I expect to see a reaction set in inGhliasd is an un f.avour. He has been highly tried wit h Cambuscan. certain starter. Thos e who back him for the Derby will have the best of it before the day of the race. I shall select the following to furnish the winner —viz., Ate_ MEDEs, LIDDINOTON, ARIEL, and CHATTANOOGA.

Female Fashions for May, (From Le Follet) The sudden change in the temperature has caused so great a demand upon the time of our leading modistes that it is a difficulty for them to satisfy our inquiries; however, we have managed to obtain some useful information. We find that all the spring dresses, even those for deshabille, are made with a decided train : they are also, without ex ception, gored--the only means of obtaining an elegant and graceful fulness. These negligee dresses have no trim mings, with the exception of a silk cord round the bottom ; or, perhaps, the skirt just cut in festoons, lightly edged with passementerie, ribbon, or velvet. Morning dresses, as we have already said, are still worn with paletots of the same material ; lines, mohair, poll de chevre have reap peared, but still foulard reigns supreme. It is now adopted by all women of taste, for they find nothing pret tier or fresher looking. The plain foulard is the most fashionable, but there are also splendid foulards, with a pattern imitating bands of eachmire, in the form of the robe princesse. This is a great novelty, and very ele gant. Those with a white ground and small patterns in colours may also be mentioned as being particularly suitable for this bright weather. The robe princesse is worn more than any other this season, but with some happy modifications. It is no longer the simple casaque without plaits ; now the fronts alone aro completely plain.' Under the arms there are largo plaits ; the side-pieces aro plain down to the waist, but there they are cut across, and the waist is set on in large plaits, so as to give a graceful ful ness. This is a charming model, and one much in vogue ; but it is very necessary that the crinoline worn with this style of dress should be particularly well made, for so much of its elegance depends upon this. Vestes without sleeves are very much worn ; and some very elegant chemisettes are made to wear with the Bolero vestes, as well as with skirts without bodies. Green appears to be the favourite colour just now, and, it is said, will remain so during the summer. There is no talk of increasing the size of the bonnets ; indeed, now that the eye is becoming accus tomed to the small bonnets, one can scarcely help acknow ledging that they are more universally becoming than the larger shapes. Amongst the newest models is the chapeau Medicis, of Belgian straw, trimmed with blue ribbon worked with steel, falling in loops and long fl i o n w si e d r e s. trim A m no e t d he w r, with ds, and buds a t pinkte tulle e b r v u a i i l t p h l e o , n steeln b e o a u d u e tstassels.mallof fieldT moss-roseshe covered with light feathers, an tdheeaubaocfk,pewairtlh violettebeads. third,blonde odf a w n ae.ah: d t etstvhh o ei ts l eet hdub andsloal side ornaments. ,;e a nbt m adluhoe e nv oena n ddud t ier s eurwa . piwwn i n a ki ici n gceoeha - sf. ar d l e . asaut i t raob°Yf the dino6f:tlohafce back, erb: ° a fu :IPV r ee o hra w airtple o i f ' ribbon, crossed under and fastening a violette of white tulle worked with steel.

The first model was in white crape—gold grapes and loaves forming the crown, under which falls a violette of tulle, worked with gold, with a fringe of floss silk. In the inside, a gold crescent and tulle bouillonnd. Strings of white ribbon. The second was of pink crape. At the side and crown, bouquets of moss roses and leaves. Violette worked with gold. Roses and tulle inside. Strings of pink ribbon, and scarf strings of tulle, edged with ruches. HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN will return to Windsor Castle from Osborne on the Gth of May. On the 18th the Queen will take her departure for Scotland, and in about three weeks or a month will return to Windsor. Afterwards her Majesty intends visiting London for a short period. At the latter end of the summer her Majesty will go to Germany.-- Court Journal. There has been a great mortality among the herds of deer this spring in Windsor Great Park ; between 150 and 200 have died, old and young, but chiefly the young fawns of last year. During the severe frost and lack of herbageAthe deer were fed on dry food, meal, and oats; the sudden change from winter to summer produced a rapid supply of herbage, upon which the deer fed too greedily, which is the cause of their untimely end.—Court Journal. THE LORD CHANCELLOR has placed his resigna tion in the hands of Lord Palmerston. He could. do no less ; it was for others, and not for himself, to de termine whether the report of tke crammittee inculpates or exonerates him. It is said that Lord Palmerston has re fused to accept it, and therefore we may assume that Lord Westbury's colleagues are of opinion that he has come out of the ordeal with untarnished honour.
