The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled firm, and an advance of ls. to 2s. per qr. took place in prices. The demand for spring corn, although by no means active, was steady at full quotations. The flour trade was quiet on former terms. On the continent the wheat trade is firm, and prices are on the advance. Spring corn has ruled steady at full quotations. The trade for wheat and flour at New York, however, is dull on easier terms. Linseed, the growth of the East Indies, owing to the active demand for oil for export to America, was in request on rather higher terms. Baps and oilseeds were also firmer, and commanded more money. In other seeds sales progressed slowly at about late rates. Cakes commanded morn attention, and prices were rather higher than on /llonday last. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad con sisted of 20,684 quarters of wheat, 15,617 barley, 6,6025 oats, 2,300 rye, 1,129 beans, 3,123 pas, 5,606 linseel, 19,320 rape and oilseeds, 7,341 maize, 351 sundry seeds, and 1,017 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the a7rirals of home grown wheat wero very moderate, but the condition of the produce was good. Owing to the position of affairs in Germany factors were firm in their demands ; an advance of ls. per qr, was realised; but at this improvement sales progressed slowly, and the whole supply was with diffi culty disposed of. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat The trade was firm for all descriptions, and although the amount of business transacted was very moderate, prices were is per qr higher than on Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain were firm, and wheat was rather dearer than on that day se'nnight. The supply of English barley on sale was limited, but there was a good show of foreign parcels on the stands. On the whole, the trade was steady at full currencies. In malt only a moderate business was transacted at late rates. There was a. good supply of oats on offer. The trade for all qualities was very dull, and a further decline of 6s. per quarter took place in prices. Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled steady, at full quotations. Peas steadily supported late rates. The market was very moderately supplied. The flour trade was steady, and pricos ruled firm. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASURE.

Beasts moved off slowly on rather lower terms, but sheep and calves were steady in price. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were again moderate, but in excellent condition. Although the demand was by no means active, prime small breeds commanded rather more money than last week. A few breeds sold at 5s 6d to 5s 8d ; but heavy beasts produced from 5s 2d to 5s 4d per 81bs. There were no arrivals either from Ireland or Scotland. The Here fords and Devons were very saleable. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,200 Scots and short-horns, and from other parts of England 500 various breeds. The supply of sheep was tolerably good. Prime Downs and half-breds changed hands steadily, at full quotations ; but heavy sheep were a slow sale at late rates. The top figure was Gs per Blbs. Prime Lincolns realised 5s 4d to 5s 6d per Blbs. Prime lainbs moved off freely at 8s per 81bs, but inferio r lambs were a dull sale, on former terms. The supply was only moderate..

OLD COURT. The June Sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning. The calendar contains 111 cases for trial, and amongst the offences charged there are 7 for murder, manslaughter 4, burglary 16, forgery 4, wounding with intent to murder 8, the rest being of the orderly description. The Recorder, in addressing the Grand Jury, said he regretted that the offences which would be brought before them in the discharge of their duty would be'of a more than usually serious nature, as there were no less than seven charges of murder and four of manslaughter. Amongst the first mentioned there was the case of William Smith, who stood charged with the wilful murder of Sarah Milsom, a person who, prior to her decease, occu pied the position of housekeeper to the Messrs. Bevington, wholesale leather dealers, No. 2, Cannon-street, West. The circumstances of the case are somewhat peculiar, and in order to arrive at a result they would have to be taken into consideration, mad judged of as to whether sufficient to bring home the capital charge to the prisoner. The unfortunate woman, it would be found, met with her death very shortly after 9 o'clock in the evening, when a ring was heard at the areet door bell, and the deceased went to answer it; and remaining away from her apartment a longer time than was usual, her fellow -servant went to ascertain the cause of her absence, and then discovered the unfortunate woman lying dead at the foot of the stairs. Tho learned judge then went through the circumstances of the case which led to the apprehensban of the prisoner, who was a person residing at Eton, and from a letter that was discovered amongst the papers of the deceased, it was sup posed that he was the person who had the interview with the woman on the night of the murder. There were other circumstances which increased the suspicion against the prisoner, as one of the witnesses deposed to the fact that he had said to a person in Eton, on the evening of the murder, and in time to enable him to carry out his intention, that ho had forty miles to go before 11 o'clock. It also was shown in evi dence that the prisoner was seen proceeding from Eton after this, so that it was probable that he was carrying out his assertion about travelling the forty miles. The next important piece of evidence was that of a person who lived next door to the Messrs. Bevington's warehouse, who, being in the street, had her attention called to Bevington's premises by the slamming' of their street-door at 10 minutes after 10 o'clock on the night of the murder, and to seeing a person walk off at a very rapid pace. Subsequently the witness picked out the pri soner from amongst a great many others, and positively identified him as the man she had seen in Cannon -street on the night of the murder. If the grand jury entertained any doubt on the evidence it would be better for them to throw out the bill ; the more particularly as the prisoner could be brought up again if additional evidence should - at any future time be discovered against him, which could not be the case supposing he stood his trial and was acquitted, as no man, by the law of England, could be placed twice 'in peril for the same offence. The next indictment adverted to was the case of Stephens, charged with the murder of his wife at Edmonton. The prisoner in this instance admitted the charge, stating it was caused through jealousy, so there would be no difficulty in the case. There were two females, named Pratt and Bennett, charged with child murder, and here the question in each case would be whether the children had been born alive, and whether the death had been caused by violence. The cases of manslaughter arose from the carelessness of those driving vehicles through the metropolis ; and with respect to the other charges they were of such a nature that no difficulty could be met with in their disposal. The grand jury then returned to their room, and the trials in a short time commenced, the first case being devoid of interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day. WESTMINSTER. A SOLDIER'S VISITS TO A CIVILIAN'S HOME.—A very respectable man, living at Chelsea, asked the magistrate if he would be good enough to tell him what he had better do with his wife, who was receiving the visits of a soldier of the Grenadier Guards. Applicant produced two letters of an amatory character, which he requested the magistrate would read. Mr. Selfe having done so, inquired where he got them from. Applicant replied that he took them from the postman on Saturday, who just came to the door at the moment ho was going out. Mr. Selfe—How long have you been married ? Applicant—Eleven years. Mr. Solfe—Have you any family ? Applicant—We had not until after this soldier had been in the habit for some time of coming backward and for ward to my house. Mr. Solfe—Have you over said anything to your wife about this ? Applicant—Yes, several times ; but she denied it, and said I was'nt to think any more of it—it was all nonsense. Mr. Selfe—Have you said anything to the soldier ? Applicant—l strongly suspected him. I spoke to him about it, but he said the same as my wife, that it was all nonsense. I was, however, not satisfied, and that made me look at the letters. What can Ido with my wife ? Mr. Selfe—lt is a delicate thing to advise in such mat ters ; but you will be perfectly justified in turning her out of doors after these letters. Applicant—l had better get rid of her as soon as I can ALARMING PIES. This morning, at ten minutes past seven o'clock, a fire, well nigh attended with fatal consequences, took place in the premises belonging to Mr. Bailey, boot and shoe dealer, 34, Union-street, Borough. The discovery was made by the inmates, who were awoke by finding their bedrooms filled with smoke. They immediately made an at tempt to get down the stairs, bat were prevented owing to the suffocating nature of the smoke. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey then appeared at the second floor and screamed loudly for help, which brought con ductor Thomas Ball with the Royal Society's escapes to the spot, and he having pitched his machine against the house he ascended the same and brought down in safety the proprietor of the house and his wife. The land ste amers b y S hand, Mason, t o and n the e C0., c0 m a b n i d n ed othersexe exertions quickly of the fire men attended, and and the conductor the flames were co n fi ne d to t h e owing basement and the lower part of the staircase. The origin of the fire is unknown. Other fires also took place ,on the premises of Messrs. Taylor, No. 11, Durringer-street West ; at Mr. Braddock's, 27, Onslow-square ; at Messrs. King, 153, King's-road, Chelsea ; at Mrs. West's, 12, Broadway, 'West minster ; and at Mr. Kelly's, 29, Gloucester -street, Commercial-road East, which were attended by the firemen and Royal Society's conductors, but the damage done at the last-named was not con siderable. 1 - Liverpocl Cotton Market. —T is Day. t...-- -..._ The market opens with a moderate demand. Sales probably 8,000 bales. The accounts from the various manufa?.turing districts represent that business generally has been inactive. At Manchester, however, there has been a moderate inquiry for cloths and yarns, and manufacturers generally are well employed. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders field, there has been very little animation, while the hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Not tingham have shown symptoms of more activity. ishtraiscts b o ee f a ßirminghan a and Wol no change of impor vlt a n e nr . e m p l a t r o d n w t a h r e e r de General Buckley did not pair against Lord Stan ley's motion on Thursday, but voted against the Govern ment on that motion, and also upon Mr. Walpole's amend ment. :, • Approaching Marriage of the Princess Mary. (From the Sunday Gazette.) The marriage of her Royal Highness the Ytincess Mary Adelaide Wilhelmina Elizabeth, youngest daughter of his late Royal Highness the Duke Cambridge, with his Serene Highness Francis Paul Charles Louis Alexander, Prince of Teck, will be solemnised at St. Anne's parish church, Kew, on Tuesday morning next, at 12 o'clock. Although the nuptials are to be conducted without State cere mony, the personal popularity of the Princess Mary, and the presence of her Majesty the Queen, their Royal highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and other members of the royal family, will cause the occasion to be regarded as one of great public interest. The church itself will not be prepared for the ceremony until after the regular services this day. Slim tly after 12 o'clock to-night workmen will begin to remove the old-fashioned close pews, and will substitute chairs or other accommodation by which the largest number of spectators may be present. It is understood, however, that the pews will be restored afterwards. This part of the work will be undertaken by the Metropolitan Board of Works. The church is situate close to Cambridge Cottage. As a building it has few pretensions to notice despite its intimate associations with Royalty. It stands on the south side of the Green, with its porticoed entrance facing the gateway of Cam bridge Cottage. The exterior, over which the ivy climbs in great luxuriance, is partly hidden by the dense foliage of the lime, chesnut, and yew trees, which surround the building. Inside the church itself there is much to interest the stranger, there being several marble tablets, among which are those erected to the memory of Jeremiah Meyer, the miniature painter, and Francis Bauer, botanical artist to King George 111., and also that of Thomas Gainsborough, the painter. The ceiling is arched, and supported on six pillars ; the Royal gallery, de corated in front with the Imperial arms and escutcheons, is at the west end of the church. In consequence of the small size of the edifice the parishioners have given up their claims to be present, though, at the request of the Princess Mary herself, the tradesmen belonging to Kew who supply Cambridge Cottage will have places given them in the church. The other parishioners are to view the marriage procession as it passes from the cottage to the church. For this purpose a low plat form has been erected on the left of the pathway, and has been strictly reserved for them. It was at first suggested that a covered way should be made, leading from the portico of the cottage to the entrance of the church, but it has now been arranged (weather of course permitting) that the procession shall walk in the open air, the distance being some 50 or 60 yards. The pathway will be covered with carpet, and it is stated that the school-girls belonging to the Queen's schools, in which the Princess has taken great interest, will line the path and strew it with flowers. Her Majesty and the other mem bers of the Royal Family will occupy places near the altar, and not in the gallery, as at first stated. The latter will be occupied by the servants of the Royal Family. The service will be performed by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Bishop of Winchester, the Rev. P. W. Nott, curate. The choir of the church will take part, and will sing the hymn " Both Jesus and his Disciples were called to the marriage," and the anthem by Tallis—" God be merciful unto us and bless us." Dr. Selle, organist of St. Anne's, will preside at the organ, and, at the conclusion of the service, Dr. Selle, who was tutor to her Royal Highness the Princess Mary, will play the " Wedding March." It is understood that the newly-wedded pair will spend the honeymoon at the seat of Earl Brownlow. The ladies who will act as bridesmaids are :—Lady Agneta Yorke, Lady Cornelia Churchill, Lady Cecilia Molyneux, and Lady Georgiana Hamilton. The people of Kew will testify their goodwill to wards the Princess by the erection of a triumphal arch on the road beyond Kew-bridge, and which is to have an appropriate motto, and to be illumi nated at night. Workmen were busily employed in its erection yesterday. The band of a Hussar regi ment at Hounslow and a private band will give a performance of music in the afternoon and evening for the gratification of the visitors. To carry out these and other arrangements a local committee has been formed, with Mr. Pearce, of Burniige llouse, as their secretary. There is also to be a display of fireworks in the evening, but it is doubtful whether a ball will take place. To those of the public who may intend to visit Kew next Tuesday, on the supposition that they witness the passing of the marriage procession , from the cottage to the church, we would say that there is but little chance of their doing so unless they are provided with tickets. Nor will those persons who may take a trip to Kew before Tuesday receive any special gratification beyond that which is always obtained at this favourite place. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasu►y, in Downing-street. The Ministers present were Earl Russell, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, the Duke of Argyll, Sir George Grey, the Earl of Clarendon, the Right Hon. Edward Cardwell, the Marquis of Hartington, Earl de Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Somer set, the Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson, Lord Stanley of Alderley, the Right Hon. G. J. Goschen, and the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers. The Worthing Mining Company (Limited) have received their usual advices from the Bremer mine, and they continue of a satisfactory character. The expenses of the month were £2,041 12s. 5d., and the quantity of ore raised during the same period was 330 tons of a better quality than of late. Remit tances received by this mail, £250. The directors of the Consolidated Bank have issued circulars to their creditors and shareholders proposing to re-open their establishment if their assent be obtained. Successful negociations are stated to have been concluded with the Bank of London, whose business the Consolidated took over, for returning the money received, less, of course, that paid away during the few days the business of the two banks were mixed. if the proposal be acceded to, the Consolidated will almost immediately renew operations, and on the day of the opening of the Bank the directorspropose to pay the creditors ss. in the pound in cash, ss. on the Ist October, ss. on the Ist February, and ss. on the Ist June next, promissory notes being given, with in terest at 5 per cent., which it may be assumed will be at once readily negotiable. In order to strengthen the position of the bank, an issue will be made of 50,000 shares at par, which will pro duce £200,000, or a call of £2 on the existing shares will be required, which would make £6 paid up, and produce £300,000. SUDDEN DEATH.—A painful sensation was ex cited in Worcester on Saturday by the rumours that Mr. J. 0. Berkeley, son of Mr. R. Berkeley, of Spetchley-park, near that city, had been found dead in his father's ground at Spetchley-park. It appears that the young gentleman had -been missing on Friday afternoon, but as it was thought he was at his farm (an adjoining estate to Spetch ley-park) no notice was taken of his absence until night, when, the family becoming alarmed, a search was made for him, and the telegraph was employed without effect. It was not until about midnight that his dead body was found lying in the shrubbery adjoining the grounds of Spetchley park. It appears the young gentleman had disease of the heart, so that the suddenness of his death was not altoge ther unexpected. It has, however, thrown quite a gloom over the neighbourhood. MISCHIEVOUS DOGS.—Sir C. O'Loghlen has laid before Parliament a seasonable measure, proposing that the owner of every dog shall be liable in damages for any injury done by it to the person or property of any one ; the damages, if not exceeding .£5, to be recoverable by sum mary proceeding before magistrates. The occupier of anv premises whero the dog is kept "or permitted to live or remain" is to be deemed its owner, unless he proves that the dog was kept or permitted to live or remain there with out his sanction or knowledge. There would almost appear to be some nitro glycerine at the bottom of the volcano of Hawaii, the Mauno Loa, which has recently been in eruption. A new crater recently opened near the summit, but the flood of lava found some subterranean outlet, and burst out half way up in a column of liquid fire 100 feet in diameter, and from 100 to 1,000 feet in height. The column,. white at base, blood red above, glowed for 20 days, and was n visible 200 miles away. All this while a river of fire ran from it down the mountain side, leaping from rocki glare of burning the forests, and adding indefinitely to the the fiery column, which, with the incessant reverberations iiin h covered heard 40 miles off, and the canopyof smoke, " thousands of square miles," formed a scene of terror such ever see. as only those who dwell under volcanoes w r 1 Intin • -L • SUN OFFICE, 7 O'CLOCK, SPORTING INTELLIGENO.S—This Day TATTERSALLS'-THIS EVENING.

Viscount ENFIELD said the inquiry had taken place, and ho hoped to be able to lay the report on the table with the least possible delay. AUSTRIA, PRUSSIA, AND ITALY. Mr. KINGLAKE said he was anxious to ask a question of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and it was, if possible, to elicit the advice which her Majesty's Government had given to some of the disputing States. He had reason to fear that. the peace of Europe had boon broken at that moment, especially as the Austrian commander had deter mined to convoke the estates of Holstein, and the Prussian commander had determined to prevent it, and under these circumstances he thought the house of Commons should have an opportunity of expressing its opinion. The great difficulty appeared to him to be Venetia, and Italy was placed in a peculiar position, because in consequence of her relations with France she was enabled to threaten a greater power than herself, and therefore Italy was acting as a dis turbing State with impunity. Italy had had no quarrel with Austria; but her objectappeared to be to wait until Austria was involved with another power before she made her move. That moment had now arrived, and it was said that Italy, to enable her to gain her end had entered into a treaty offensive and defensive with Prussia, and she was thus enabled to take her part in the dispute. He could not believe that her Majesty'sete Government had given any direct advice to either of y b_, parties which might lead to a disturbance of the peace , 3/ .:_` rumour, with her busy tongue, had asserteditl;eat her -iv() up jesty's Government had advised Austria been given Venetia, . and, if such advice had calculated nothing, in his opinion, was wore True it was to bring about a terrible taken,th at the a advice nd he, of for rthe one, English to ug thought tnjtended that if they had ever would be taken, but be h e te o nded to involve matter in given it, it was a matter whiether matter that could arise. greater difficulty than any Government, .wnaor.st ue ly no t t ha b t ee t n t If the proposal to Austria bad a vast province, thene p ri b n e t e a h i u p o_i z e i n f a n d t e t i o t g because sheextravp had ag7n c t h .

The G overnment of France was first of the opinion that a Conference on such terms would be useless, and the English Governer ent agreed with them. He was certain that the maintenance .of peace was inconsistent with a change of territory, and therefore he concluded by asking whether the Govern ment were in a position to communicate any further infor mation with respect to the failure of the Conference at Paris. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not contemplate that the hon. gentleman in asking his question would travel over so wide a field, because he could not enter into a full explanation at the present conjuncture of affairs, and because ho could not see that any good purpose could arise by a debate on the subject taking __..........,....... place. The hon. gentleman said the German quarre would have been arranged had it. not been for Italy ; but that was not so, at least as far as the information in the possession of the Government allowed them to form an opinion. The question of the Duchies, just as much as Venetia, formed the ground for quarrel, an d the convocation of the States of Holstein was the subject which would lead to war, and not Venetia. There were, how ever, other questions involved. The honourable gentle man said that Italy was a disturbing Power, and that that was brought about by the protection she received from France. It was not his duty to defend the Government of France; that was beyond his province, but not stopping there the hon. gentleman had said that it was rumoured that her Majesty's Government had given encouragement to Italy, and advice to Aus tria. He bad, however, acquitted them of giving advice; he might have done more and acquitted them of giving encouragement to Italy. Tue hon, gentleman had said the Government had expressed its opinion that Austria ought to give up Venetia. He did; not knc,w where . the honourable gentleman had obtained his information, but he might say that that being the opinion of her Majesty's Government it wns no - secret to Austria, as she was well aware that that opinion. prevailed seven years ago. It was the opinion of Lord Palmerston in 1818, and notwithstaudiug the m6st friendly feeling entertained by Great Britain. to wards. Austria, her Majesty's Government felt that they ought not to recede from that opinion. He thought it vvas most unkind and uncalled for to cast this matter in the teeth of Austria when she was involved in another and distinct misunderstanding with another Power. While entertaining a good feeling towards Austria on the first point, he could not say that their sympathy extended to her second position. With respect to the question of the hon. gentleman as to the preservation of peace, he regretted he could entertain no solid opinion that such a state of things existed, and with respect to the failure of the Con ference it arose from the assurance demanded by Austria that no territorial aggrandisement was intended not being given. He could only express his deep regret that the meeting of the conference was prevented by obstacles that it was impossible to remove. [LEFT SITTING. j American Five-Twenties in Europe. The New York Commercial Chronicle, justreceived, has an article on " The Return of the Five-Twenties from Europe," which, as indicating the financial feeling in the United States, we transfer to our columns. The paper from which we quote occupies a similar position in America to the Economist newspaper here : " We have among us a certain class of financial men who profess to be in no small alarm lest the European holds pres su e r r e o o ff the our e s o e n c t u i r n i e t n i e t s a I s h w o a r u 1 d panic, b e e t d o , send them back to this cauntry in larger amounts than can easily be absorbed by our own investors. The experience of the last four weeks does not justify these tremulous forebodings. During that time, probably, ten millions of five-twenties have been imported here from European markets. Yet the whole amount has been absorbed, and a glance at our Stock Exchange report shows that the price is nearly one per cent. higher than when the return movement first set in. Suppose that during the next two months another ten millions should come this way, is there any reason for contending that a similar result would not recur ? Is it not extrem e l y s p e r e o k b i a n b g l e investmentthat with the these rapid bonds y increaseeuld b oef eagerly five-twentiesbought up ? ar F e o e r w xtre e m m el u y st eea r r e e m e, em an b d er th t e ha d t em th a e n s d e from all parts of the country is growing with most active rapidity, while the supply is almost sta tionary. " There are two things, however, which render it probable that the return current of our securities from Europe will not, for any great length of time, be kept up. First, there are comparatively few of our five-twenties in England. Of the 350 millions of these securities which are in the hands of Euro pean holders, it is computed that not more than 50 millions are owned by British capitalists. Hence, if on the continent of Europe, in conse quence of the troubled state of the political atmo- sphere, a considerabh amount of bonds should be thrown on the markets they will be very likely to be taken up in Europe, where there is always an immense amount of capital waiting to invest itself in sound and safe securities. The firmness in Con sols indicates that the scare in the London money market is passing away, and that the financial at mosphere is clearing up. " The same cause which has given a turn to British investments in the direction of Consols can scarcely fail to operate in favour of American secu rities, especially as all the securities of the conti nental Governments are temporarily depressed and avoided. " Secondly, there is in England a growing con viction which is permeating the masses of the people, and is obtaining more and more power over the monied and governing classes, that this country is well able to bear its load of debt, and that our u nbounded faith in the vast resources and recuperative energy of the United States does not rest on a false foundation. This conviction has recently found ex pression in the House of Commons in a speech by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Gladstone, whom no one will suspect of undue partiality. Ile observes ' that the debt of the United States is in itself something wonderful—wonderful as the crea tion of four years, strictly of four years, and no more ; and yet amounting to nearly ppopopo, or £600,000,000, and the rate of growth of the debt in the last year ex ceeded, I think, £200,000,000. That is a wonder ful debt, and its charge is enormous. Well, now, looking at these figures, a man would be struck with something like despair ; but if we look at the position of the country which is to bear the burden, I must confess that I think the future of America, as far as finance is concerned—political problems are not now in question—will not be attended with any embarrassment. Ido not believe the debt will constitute any difficuity for the American people. lam confident that if they show with respect to finance any portion of that extraordinary resolu tion which on both aides alike they manifested during the war, and of that equally remarkable resolution with which, on the return of peace, they have brought their monstrous and gigantic establish ments within moderate bounds, I won't say that this debt, according to an expression which was once fashionable in this country, will be a fleabite, but that in a moderate time it will be brought within very small limits, and may, even within the lifetime of persons now living, be effaced. "In these remarks we see not merely what is thought of American securities by Mr. Gladstone, but they are still more valuable as an echo of British opinion, and especially of the opinion of British capitalists and investors. With such testi mony before us, we are still of the opinion we ex pressed recently, that in proportion as our securi ties leave Germany they will have a growing tendency to find a resting-place in England.
