ONEYMARKET AND COMMERCIAL IN TELLIGENCTE, TWELVE O'C There is no a lt erat i on this morning in the position of a ffairs in th e di scount market. The supply of capital afloat is abundant, but the rates continue very firm at 71 and 71 per cent. for short-dated Paper, the brokers believing that another upward movement this week is almost certain. The sum of £15,000 was taken into the Bank of England on Saturday afternoon. The Mediator, from Melbourne, has arrived this morning with £9,984. The following is the report of Messrs. Coleman, Turquancl, Youngs, and Co., Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co., and Mr. Allen, who were appointed by the directors of the Imperial Mercantile Credit As sociation to examine the accounts and securities, in order to reassure the shareholders with regard to certain adverse rumours which have beerr so in- Panusly circulated t o t h e prejudice of the com y :--- "That the result of a careful examination in detail of the securities shows, according to the best available infor- Mation, that they, together with the amount of profits in l ' eae rve and undivided, are of sufficient value to cover within about £lOO,OOO, the full amount of the several ad vances against which they are respectively held, and also to provide for the present depreciated value of other invest ccur Illeats, although, owing to the nature of certain of the se and partly t o th e l arge amounts in which some O t the 'tins, m are held, they are not all immediately convertible. The examination dates to the 14th ult." The advices from most of the principal manufac turing districts report that last week less activity prevailed owing to the advance in the value of money and the unsettled state of political affairs on the continent. Considerable depression has prevailed in eshter te Li verpool Cotton Market ; w hil e at Man both cloths and yarns have been dealt in to limited extent, at a further decline. In the woollen dist ricts of Le e d s, B radford, and Huddersfield less acti vity has prevailed, although prices generally sh tti ow no Material alte ra ti on . At L e i cester and Nongham the hosiery and lace trades have been seasonably active, while in thelhardware district sof 13ir raingham, Sheffield, an d W o l ver h ampton, there has been little change of importance. Two O'CLOCK At the P ar i s B ourse this morning, according . to Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent Routes were quoted 63c. 55f. Panic continues. Monetary and political affairs are still e xerc i s i ng a a extreme degree of depressi ve i n fl uence over t h e Ma rkets for stocks and shares. The different depart tnents may b e sa i d to be in a state of debility, but as there i s really nothing to mar the general pro sPects of the country, a reaction may be confidently anticipated. Consols are 861 1 for money, and 86/ for the June settlement. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are quoted 841 1 ; Annuities, 1 885, 13 1 3-16 ; Bank Stock, 242 k ; and India 5 per Cent., 1 05 f.

Business in the Railway Share Market has re zaained very quiet, and prices generally exhibit less mess. Great Northern A Stock, Metropolitan, and South-Eastern have each declined £1; Midland, 108 ._; North Western, 10s. ; and Great Eastern, ss. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been little change of importance. Great Lux embourg have declined to 12f 1.

The best samples steadily supported previous rates, but inferior qualities were rather cheaper. Barley, oats, beans, and peas met a slow sale, at last week's cur rency. The flour trade was quiet, on former terms. On the Continent the corn trade generally is quiet, on former terms. .At New York the trade for wheat and flour is very firm, and an advance has taken place in the quo tations. But moderate supplies of English produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad consisted of 17,304 quarters of wheat, 3,319 barley, 41,502 oats, 110 rye, 409 beans, 45 tares, 10,544 linseed, 3,169 maize, 110 sundry seeds, and 529 sacks of flour. Fresh Lp to our market to-day the amount of English wheats wore only moderate, but the condition of the samples was tolerably good. The trade for all qualities was firm, and an advance of is. to 2s. per quarter from Monday last was demanded. Sales, however, progressed slowly, at an improvement in the quotations as compared with this day se'nnight, of is. per quarter. The supply of Continental wheat on sale was moderate —of American qualities small. The trade for all descrip tions ruled firm, at very full prices. Floating cargoes of wheat were in improved request, and prices were rather on the advance. Spring corn, afloat, ruled steady. The market was very moderately supplied with English barley, but the show of foreign qualities was good. The demand ruled inactive, at last Monday's currency. Malt was in but moderate request, at late rates. Oats were in good supply. Good and fine samples were in steady request, at full prices ; but inferior qualities met a slow sale, at late rates. Beans were in supply, and the trade ruled firm, at an advance in prices of is per quarter. No change took place in the value •f peas. The trade was quiet, although the market was very moderately sup plied. _ There was a fair demand for most descriptions of flour, at lato rates. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASVRE.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on sale here to-day. Its quality, however, was very middling, The demand ruled steady at full quotations. The arrival of beasts from our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland and Scotland, were only moderate, but in excellent condition. Although the demand for all kinds was inactive, prices ruled the turn higher than on Monday last. The general top figure was ss. 2d., but some very inferior Sects and crosses produced ss. 4d. per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1.000 Scots, crosses, and short-horns, from other parts of England, 600 various breeds ; from Scotland. 295 Scots :and crosses; and from Ireland, 50 oxen and heifers. There' was a good supply of sheep in the pens, mostly out of the wool. The mutton trade was slow; neverthe less, very high prices were realised. Prime Down and half-breeds in the wool sold at from 7s. to 7s. 4d. ; out of the wool, Gs. per 8 lbs. Prime lambs were scarce and in good demand at 9s. per 8 lbs., otherwise the lamb trade was heavy at late rates.

The May sessions of the Central Criminal Court com mencad this morning before the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, the Recorder, and other civil officials. Tho calendar contains the names of 71 persons for trial, and the offences with which they stand charged are of a more serious description than usual. Amongst the pri soners there are, for abduction, 2 ; arson, 2 ; burglary, 5 ; child stealing, 1; forgery, 3; manslaughter, 2; murder, 1; rape, 1; wounding with intent to murder, 2 ; feloni ously demanding money, 1; embezzlement, 2 ; and the re mainder, although in the minor class, are many of them very serious charges. The Recorder having addressed the grand jury, referred to several of the cases contained in the calendar, and in a short time afterwards the trials commenced. William Smith was indicted for feloniously uttering two counterfeit shillings within ten days. The prisoner selected public houses for committing the fraud. Both the spurious coins were found to be from the same mould. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to 12 months' im. prisonment with hard labour. John Phillips was indicted for having in his possession seven and a half counterfeit crowns. The prisoner and another man went into an eating hogse in Westminster, and in payment of the articles he tendered a bad half-crown. The fraud was discovered and the prisoner ran away, and while he was trying to elude capture he was seen to throw away a purse, which on being picked up was found to contain seven half crowns all counterfeit. Two of the counterfeit half crowns in the purse were from the same mould as the one uttered. The prisoner, in defence, said he was as " innocent as a child." The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the learned judge sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonment. ' , mat INTELLIGENCE. —This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A RANKER'S SERVANT.—George Bolston, young man, servant to Mr. Charles Csesar Hopkinson, banker, No. 3, Regent-street, was charged before Mr. Tawhitt with stealing 30 silver forks, 35 silver spoons, a PS, and other articles, of the value of £7O, the property of his master. Mr. Hopkinson said—The prisoner was in my service. On returning home about eleven o'clock on the night of Sunday, the 29th April, the prisoner was not at home. I sat up some time for him, and as he did not come in I went down to the pantry, and not finding the prisoner's clothes .there I sent to my housekeeper for a list of the plate, and I then missed a quantity as well as a gun, a powder flask and shot pouch, and other articles. I a l so f oun d one dupli cate relating to the plate. I then gave information to the police, and on Saturday /vent with a sergeant to South ampton, where I gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt—What is the amount of your loss ? Prosecutor—Above £6O. The powder-flask and shot pouch produced are my property. Sergeant Shellingford, 4 C—l accompanied the prosecu tor to Southampton, where I met the pa isoner in the High-street. I told him that I was a police officer, and that I should take himinto custody for stealing plate and other articles from his master. He replied, "I am sorry for it. I know I have done wrong. I pledged the gun at Southampton for 305." I took him back to the hotel, where he was staying, and found on him a duplicate re lating to the gun, which was pledged in the name of " Bateman" at Mr. Emmanuel's, East-street, Southampton, for 30s. On searching the prisoner's portmanteau, I found in it a powder-flask and shot pouch. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Where is the plate pledged ? Sergeant Shellingford—All in London. The prisoner, who put no questions to the witnesses, said—l am guilty. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded him for the attendance of the pawnbrokers. THAMES. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY. —John Wilson, a well known and very desperate thief, 18 years of ago, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting and robbing Carl Freeting, a German tailor. The prosecutor was on his way from the City with 19 pairs of men's trousers over his shoulder, when the prisoner and another man advanced towards him from the corner of Dock-street, Whitechapel. The prisoner butted the prosecutor with his head, knocked him down, and then made a snatch at his watch chain. The chain was screwed from the watch, and the prisoner handed it to his companion and ran away. The prosecutor immediately pursued him, and called out " Stop thief." Police-con stable Panther, No. 196 H, stopped the prisoner, and the prosecutor came up and accused him with having knocked him down, and robbed him of his chain. The prisoner said " It's not me, sir; I have just come out of a publichonse." He then made a determined resistance and said he would not be taken alive. Panther soon over powered him and conveyed him to the station-house. It was stated by Panther that the prisoner was one of three men under recognizances to appear at this court to-morrow on a charge of stealing a watch. The case wad one of conflicting evidence. Foster, 207 H . , an intelligent detective officer, said the prieoner was in custody three Lights in succession for stealing watches, and was a bold and notorious thief. Mr. Partridge—The prisoner is committed for trial. Prove a former conviction, if any, at the sessions. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY OP A TILL.--John Male, aged 18, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with attempting to steal money out of a till in the shop of Mr. William Davis, a cheesemonger in the Globe-road, Mile-end. Mr. Davis detected the prisoner leaning over the counter in his shop and in the act of taking out the till from its place. Mr. Davis asked him what he wanted, to which he replied, how much is a truss of straw ? The prosecutor said we don't sell straw in a butter 'shop, and forthwith gave him into custody. Mr. Partridge asked the prisoner if he would be tried by him or at the sessions. The prisoner —I will be tried here. Mr. Partridge —There is no doubt of your guilt. You are sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. DISRAELI RoAn!—A new street at Putney is being formed by a Mr. Wylson, and he has named it, with the sanction of the Metropolitan Board of Works, "Disraeli-road," in honour of Mr. Disraeli. A PERTINENT QUESTION. —Some £50,000 are being converted into a monument to Prince Albert in Ken sington-park. Would not this amount of money spent in establishing a bath-house, a soup-house, and a school house for the poor, have been quite as acceptable an offer ing in the eyes of God, or of "Albert the Good ?" The "children cry for bread, and you give them a stone."— Cosmopolitan. VOTING FOR THEMSELVES. —.Eighteen members who hold Government offices voted for the second reading of the Franchise Bill. The gentlemen who voted that they had confidence iu themselves are Messrs. Baring, Bruce, Cardwell, Cowper, Forster, Fortescue, Gladstone, Goschen, Lawson, Villiers, Headlam, Layard, Adams, Brand, Collier, Sir R. Palmer, Sir George Grey, and the Marquis of Hartington. If the members of the Govern ment (says the Cosmopolitan of Saturday) could not have voted' confidence in themselves, instead of a majority of 5 for, there would have been a majority of 13 against the Government. Considering this, no one, we think, can deny that the Government was absolutely defeated. THE ROYAL SOCIETY.—At the meeting of the Royal Society, on Thursday last, the list of selected can didates, recommended by the Council f or election into the Society; was read.

A special general meeting of this company was held on Friday at the London Tavern to consider the position of the company; Mr. Haines in the chair A long, angry, and somewhat personal discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr. LEVERSON contended that Mr. Haine was not duly qualified at the time he was elected a di rector of the company, and that therefore he was not duly elected a director. He moved resolutions to the effect that the election of Mr. Haine be not confirmed, and that Dr. Collum, another director, be requested to resign. Mr. MmIRRY, the contractor, brought forward a series of charges against the board. He stated that persons in the employment of the company had opened an office outside the company's stations in Buenos Ayres, where they sold tickets at 33 per cent. less than the prices charged by the company, and were thus competing with the company. Ile complained that charges had been made against the company for useless surveys. The extension was made to the Tigra River at a place where the depth of water was not sufficient to admit large vessels to come alongside. Four of the company's second class carriages, which cost a great deal of money, were almost destroyed to convert them into timber waggons, while some trucks had been lent to the Boaca Company, their enemy. The late secretary had involved the company in law costs to the extent of £2,000. He said that, in his opinion, everything had been done to make the company a losing concern. Mr. LEVERSON moved the appointment of a com mittee of investigation. Mr. HARTRIDGE proposed that the directors be call3d upon to resign, and, at an adjourned meet ing, that the shareholders elect three directors, with power to increase the' number to five. The CHAIR3IAN said when the new directors came into office the first thing they did was to appoint a committee to examine the proceedings of the old directors, and it was found that the line had been badly made. The contractor had paid la'rgely on account, and the engineer had been removed. The traffic receipts of the line did not pay its working expenses, and during the last five months the expenditure has exceeded the receipt by £2,000. The services of the late secretary had been dispensed with. Eventually it was decided, amid noise and con fusion, that the meeting be adjourned till the 17th inst. on the understanding that the board should then be reconstructed. GREAT EASTERN. This company will open to-day (Monday) a new goods station contiguous to the docks at Ipswich. The directors have appointed Mr. R. Moseley (who has been about 20 years in the service of the com pany) general manager of the entire system. They have also secured the services of Mr. S. Swarbrick, many years chief accountant to the Midland Rail way Company. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The traffic receipts on this company's lines for the week ending April 14 amounted, for local passengers, £7,039, for foreign passengers to £3,073, for mails, &c., to £976, for local freight and live stock to £17,304, and for foreign freight and live stock to £l,2B7—total, £29,679 ; against £28,351 for the corresponding week in 1865, showing an increase of £1,328. The total receipts from the Ist January to the above date amounted to £362,856, and for the same period last year to £349,853, showing an increase of £13,003. FULNESS. Mr. Ramsden, the late secretary and general manager of this company, has been appointed managing director ; and Mr. Cook, the late secre tary of the Whitehaven and Furness Railway Com pany, has been appointed to succeed Mr. Ramsden as secretary and superintendent of traffic on the Furness Railway. WREXHAM, MOLD, AND CONNAH'S QUAY. This line was opened for passenger traffic on the Ist inst. from Wrexham to Buckley, 9 miles in length. There are four intermediate stations--viz., Gwersyllt, Cen-y-bedd, Caergwrle, and Hope Junction, for Mold (per omnibus). Three trains run each day daily. GREAT EASTERN STEAMSHIP (LIMITED). The report of the directors states that the whole course of events which attended the expenditure of last year for laying the Atlantic cable had been so fully reported in the public press that it was need less to recapitulate them, but the directors drew attention to the fact that the Great Eastern through out the voyage proved hersolf to be admirably and specially adapted to the laying of deep sea cables, and elicited from the scientific authorities engaged on board the following most satisfactory certificate, viz :—" That the Great Eastern steamship, from her size and constant steadiness, and from the control over her, afforded by the joint use cf paddles and screws, renders it safe to lay an Atlantic cable in any weather." By the term of the original charter with the Telegraphic Construction and Maintenance Company (Limited), the latter was entitled to elect that (for the purpose of completing the first cable) , the charter should remain in force after the 31st of December last, upon paying for the hire of the ship £l,OOO per month, in addition to any contingent payments otherwise accruing. On its being deter mined to lay a second cable it became necessary to modify the charter, and an arrangement had been made whereby the charterers had the use of the ship , for the above purposes, paying for the same in ad dition to all expenses, £12,000 in cash, in any event, by instalments extending over the period of the charter. On the new cable of 1866 being success fully laid the charterers were to transfer to this company £25,000 in shareAf the Anglo-American Telegraph Company (Limited), fully paid up ; and in the event of the cable of last year being com pleted this company was to receive £50,000 in ordi nary stock of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, as specified in the previous charter. The charterers had also the option of retaining the ship after lay ing the cable of 1866 on the payment of £l,OOO per month, and £lO per mile for all cables successfully laid, with the proviso that the minimum payment to this company should be not less than at the rate of £20,000 per annum. The directors ventured to ex press their confident belief that the expedition of this year would be a complete success. The ship would go to sea fitted with every appliance which the experience acquired on the last occasion had shown to be necessary for surmounting any difficul ties which might present themselves during the ope ration. Three instalments of £l,OOO each had been received from the charterers. and being due monthly early in July a sum of £6,000 from this source would be available for dividend. The directors, therefore, proposed to pay an interim dividend of 6 per cent. (free of income tax) as early in that month as might be found practicable. A further and final dividend had been received from the trustees in respect of the bonds of the Great Ship Company held by this com pany, which amount had been applied in reduction of the cost of the ship. From the balance sheet it appeared that the cost of the'ship to the present company was £87,893, leaving a balance of £11,433. The Western colleges, academies, and seminaries are better patronised this year than ever before, and among the pupils are large numbers of veteran Soldiers. 135 ii 531 i 119/ 92 2 30 231 1231 k 61 1081 i 71 P 101 f o 21 22 4.

For the Fourteenth Biennial Stakes Robin Hood takes an allow ance of 31b, and, consequently, the elected of Danebury— probably Ceylon—will have a severe task to lower the colours of Lord Portsmouth's colt, who will be much fitter than when he ran at Newmarket. The Sornersetshire Stakes, 2 miles 240 yards course, is a failure in point of , acceptances, as only twenty horses have been left in from the sixty-five originally handi capped. The Miner, Bst 121 b, occupies the post of honour, and Whalebone, sst 91b is the "feather" of the h. andicap.

VICTORIA CLUB BETTING—SATURDAY. It was soon apparent at the club to-day that great cau tion would be observed in dealing with Rustic, whose an ticipated Derby " trial', was said to have come off satis factorily in the morning. The first blow struck was 300 to 100, taken three times, after which 110 to 40 was booked, a series of operations which made him almost as good a favourite as Lord Lyon, about whom 90 to 40 was taken and offered. Indeed, the Rustic furore arrived at such a pitch that even money was laid that he starts a better favourite than Mr. Sutton's horse. 1,000 to 100 was laid once against Roden, but thesame operator failed to "spot" another backer at the like odds. There was every dispo sition to lay against Vespasian, whose opening price was 18 " ponies" taken and repeated, after which 1,000 to 55 was offered, but, not meeting with a response the layer "sprung" to 20 to 1, which, in one or two instances, was booked to small amounts. The Bribery colt, now named Nottingham, was at first the object of fierce opposition, 25 to 1 having been laid at once to -.£loo, -and for a time it looked as though the colt would not rally ; but some fresh arrivals partially restored him by accepting 20 to 1 to about £75. We aro assured, however, that neither of the unseated members for the meek borough sent his "special commissioner" into the market to reinstate the Bribery colt in public favour. 1,000 to 35 was booked once about Blue Riband, but the Rustic fever caused him to decline to 30 to 1. The tone of the market as regards place bet ting will be discovered from the quotations subjoined. Speculation on tho Great Northern Handicap was limited to one or two animals, Regalia being in great demand at the finish at anything over 3 to 1, and although at the com mencement even money was laid against her being one of the first three, it was odds on her before the room broke up. The support awarded to the others had nothing cor dial in it, and Aldcroft, who had been backed off the " lists" outside at 10 to 1 during the morning, wasknocked out to 33 to 1 offered. Closing prices at 3 p.m.:— GREAT NORTHERN HANDICAP. 8 to 1 agst Regalia (offered—take 7 to 2) 6to 1 agst Redcap (taken and offered) 7to 1 agst Cathedral (taken and offered) Bto 1 agst Dalby (taken and offered) 100 to 6 agst Dolan (taken and (offered) 100 to 6 agst Magnus (taken and offered) 20 to 1 agst Moulsey (offered) 33 to 1 agst Aldcroft (offered) 500 to 5 agst Salpinctes (offered) DERBY. 9 to 4 agst Lord Lyon (taken and offered) sto 2 agst Rustic (offered—(take 11 to 4) 10 to agst Redan (taken and offered) 20 to 1 agst Vespasian (taken and offered) 20 to 1 agst Nottingham (Bribery colt)—(taken) 30 to 1 agst Blue Riband (taken) 30 to 1 agst Knight of.the Crescent (taken) 1000 to 35.agst Monarch of the Glen (taken) ` 1000 to 12 agst Ceylon (offered) 3000 to 30 agst Loybourne (taken) 5000 to 34 agst Robin Hood (taken) 2000 to 10 agst Corsair (taken) 2000 to 10 agst Knapsack (taken) 500 to 400 on Lord Lyon and Rustic (taken) 50 even on Rustic starting a better favourite than Lord Lyon (taken) 30jto 20 agst Lord Lyon starting first favourite (t.) 400 to 100 agst Vespasian for a place (offered) 900 to 200 agst Nottingham for a place (offered) 1000 to 25 agst Ceylon, with a start (taken) 4000 to 100 agst Lord Glasgow's lot (taken) 2000 to 40 agst Mr. Savile's lot (taken) THE MANCHESTER MARKET. For the Derby, after the slight demonstrations against Lord Lyon iu the early part of the week, ho has been de cidedly the favourite ; 9 to 4 has been accepted in a few instance; and 5 to 2 would have been taken to large amounts if it could have been obtained. Rustic finished to-day by all the 3s to 1 being taken that could be ob tained. Redan is very firm ; 10 to 1 is offered, but the layers are careful not to exceed that. Vespasian and the Bribery Colt (now I believe named Nottingham) have been, during the week, freely backed, 100 to 7 being booked about each of them. Blue Riband, Monarch of the Glen, and Knight of the Crescent have each been much inquired about, and 30 to 1 would have been taken about any of them, but the general offers of 25 to 1 have been declined. The Great Northern Handicap seems likely to be a specu lative affair from the number of horses which are considered to have a chance. From the reports of betting from the south Redcap should be the favourite, but ho is not in great demand here ; 8 to 1 is the least we have seen booked and could have been obtained at the close.

The 79th anniversary of the M. C. C. was held at the Pavilion at Lord's, on Wednesday last, May 2. Previons to the dinner, a general special meeting of the club took place, at which the honorary secretary brought forward cer- taro proposals for the purchase of the freehold of Lord's Ground, from Mr. Marsden, which were unanimously adopted. The members then proceeded to ballot for sixty three candidates, who were all elected, and the club now numbers 980 members. At half-past seven o'clock the chair was taken by Lord Ebury, and the company sat down to an excellent dinner, the arrangements for which had been confided to Mr. John Day, of the Tavern, Lord's Ground, and too much praise cannot be given to him for the tasteful appropriateness in which the dining-table was decorated, and the excel lence of the viands. In the centre of the table was placed a large epergne filled with choice flowers of red and amber hues—the colours of M. C. C. This was well "backed up" on one side with another fragrant batch tastefully dis playing the well-known "red, black, and gold" of I Zin ' . _ _, gari. Opposite that was another epergne containing a bouquet formed of the Household Brigade's colours—" red and blue ;" and yet another epergne held florals ingeniously delineating the blue and yellow of - the Cambridge Quid nuncs. The originality and taste of all this were well equalled by the excellence of the viands and high character ardofathe wines, which i ncluded among other choice liquids vintageseira o b f o l t tBlles ( d in o 1792, claret half a of ee l n B t 44 ur , y a o nldd,just h i port of the aandmarked t h l a B t ,51.

PONSONBY then proposed the health of Lord Ebury, who had so ably filled the office of president for 1865 ; and his lordship, to returning thanks, said that he should retain the same zeal out of office for the welfare of the club as he had always felt, and concluded by proposing the health of his successor, the Earl of Sandwich, the pre sident of the M.C.C. for 1866, whose name was received with much warmth, and whose absence, through domestic affliction, was much regretted. The SECRETARY proposed the health of Mr. R. Kynaston (who was unavoidably absent), and alluded to the arduous duties undertaken by that gentleman, and the great benefit that had accrued to the club from his exertions in the cause of the Donation Fund, which still remains open to the libe rality of the members and friends of the M.C.C. The toast was received with applause. The Earl of SEFTON, in an energetic speech,...proposed the health of Mr. W. Nicholson, and the meeting expressed their sense of the handsome offer made by that gentleman to secure the freehold of Lord's Ground to the Club by the most enthusiastic reception of the toast. Mr. BURGOYNE, as one of the auditors, testified to the great exertions of the treasurer and secretary in behalf of the club, which appeared to be generally admitted, and which certainly was not denied by the secretary. A. list of matches was then read by the secretary, and the meeting dissolved at midnight. PUGILISII. THE CHAMPIONSHIP—JEIi MACE‘AND JOE GOSH. Ere three weeks shall have passed away, the great battle for the Championship of England will have been lost and won. The combatants yesterday placed £lO a-side in the hands of the stakeholder, making £l5O a-side down ; another deposit, of £lO a-side, and the final, of £4O aside, on May 18, will make up the £2OO a-side. The reports from the training quarters of the gladiators are very satis factory. Mace is at the Strawberry Grounds, Liver pool, and is in capital health and spirits. He weighs with ilst now over Montagueorer fiveyears, w a ri n t d es i— l " I have can safevlye judge mHemeehnast thuendertgeohnewasa madelong of his conditi on.

Hi s muscles are as fully developed as when he was at th e h o t e l i n Ireland, when ho pl a yf u ll y 'landed' on me. So you may judge, now that he is drying up, how he will look in the ring. All I can say is, should he be unfortunate enough to lose, it will not be through want of condition, as I firmly believe when they start fighting Mace will have the caste in his favour in respect to health and condition. He is up at five o'clock rolling our bowling green, digging gardens, carpentering, or at some handicraft until eight; then breakfast; same performance continued until eleven, when we have a turn round the ground some five or six miles. You may guess he is pretty fit. When Jack Brighton, Thomas (the Northern Deer), and I start with him, we leave off first." Mace opens the Straw berry Grounds on Monday with a miscellaneous entertain ment, followed by a farewell dinner. In the exposition of the "noble art," sets-to will take place between Bill Ryall and Jack Hooke, Peter Morris and Young Holden, and the wind-up will be with Join Mace and Andrew Marsden. We hope he will meet with the success he deserves in his new enterprise. From Joe Goss's training quarters—Old Boat Inn, Great Brickkiln-street —we hear that Joe is very well, and doing about twenty-six miles per day. Ho weighs about list 61b, and will not be much lighter on the day of fighting. He will be glad to see his friends at Mrs. Savage's, the Old Boat Inn, before he takes his final leave of that place.

UNPRECEDENTED EMIGRATION.—The emigration from Europe to the United States daring the current year will exceed that of all former years. In the first week in March there left Ireland, in twenty-one ships, 4,595 steerage, and 256 cabin passengers. Some 15,000 more were assembled at , Queenstown: awaiting transportation.
