It is formed for the amal gamation and extension of the businesses of Messrs. Robinson and Fleming, Redfern, Alexander, and Co., and Lane, llankey, and Co. The basis of the arrange ment is as follows, viz. :—The liabilities of each house to be liquidated independently of the com pany, except where any such may hereafter be agreed to be taken over by the board as new and desirable business. The partners are not to enter into any fresh mercantile operations in England for ten years ; and the completeness of the transfer with the efficient management of each particular class of business is insured by the leading members of the three firms joining the board. The total goodwill' of the amalgamated firms will be taken one-third in shares with £5O paid, and two-thirds in debentures over ten years ; thus identifying the interests of the Vendors with that of the company. The undertak lug has been received with great favour on the Stock Exchange, and the shares are quoted 31 4 prem.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ASSAULTING AND ATTEMPT ING TO ROB A LICENSED VICTUALLER AND PUGILIST.— George Smith, a respectable looking man, described as a smith, was charged before Mr. Mausfied with assaulting James Dillon, licensed victualler and pugilist, of the White Horse, Baldwin's-gardens, Gray's-inn-lane, and attempting to steal his watch and chain. The prosecutor said—Shortly after 12 o'clock on Satur day night, I was passing along Leicester-square on my way home, when the prisoner, whom I had seen sitting against a lamp post, with two companions near him, pushed against me. I asked him whether there was not room for two persons, and what his gamo was. He said something I did not understand, and then struck me. A woman then ran up to the man and said " Cheese it, cheese it—(leave off) —he's a fighting man. A mistake." The prisoner then knocked me down, and his friend laid hold of my chain and watch. I shouted out "Police," and the prisoner, who was kneeling on me, said "You --, if you call '• Police I'll choke you." I got up and ran away, and the prisoner ran after me, and again knocked me down, and struck me with his fists. I then got up and ran after him, and gave him in charge. I had a light suit of clothes on at the time, and I've no doubt they took me for a foreigner. I was kicked in the loins, and was in bed all day yesterday. Police-constable 75 C—About half-past 1 on Sunday morning, hearing cries of " Murdcr," in Cranbourn-street, I went up and saw Dillon running, and a mob following him. I saw the prisoner knock Dillon down and fall on him and strike him. I pulled the prisoner off and took him to the station. In reply to Mr. Mansfield the constable said the prose cutor and the prisoner were both sober. John Morris, hackney carriage attendant—l was on duty in Leicester-square, and saw Dillon knock a man down into the road, the man being intoxicated at the time. I told Dillon he ought to be ashamed of himself, and Dillon then ran away, and then prisoner ran after him with a number of others, some of whom said, " Oh, he's a fighting man." The prisoner and Dillon then fought for about ten minutes, and on Dillon falling on his back he said the prisoner wanted to rob him, but that was not the case. The constable then came up, and Dillon having got the worst of it, gave the prisoner in charge for attempting to rob him. The prisoner was drunk, till sobered by a fall Dillon gave him. The prisoner—l had had a glass or two of boer and was leaning against a lamp-post, and Dillon coming along with a girl, knocked a man down. I asked why he did it, and through this a fight between them took place, and we both fell occasionally atop of each other. The prosecutor afterwards gave mo in charge for attempting to rob him. I am a working man, a smith, employed at 5, Jermyn-street, and do not wish to rob any one. What I have said is the truth. It all arose through Dillon knocking the man down without any reason. A person stepped forward and gave the prisoner 15 years good character. Mr. Mansfield—Has the prisoner ever been here before ? Barns (the gaoler)—No, sir. Mr. Mansfield—ls Dillon a pugilist, and has he been here before ? Barns—Ho is a pugilist, and has been committed from this court for three months for assaulting a female. Mr. Mansfield—The prisoner is discharged. The decision seemed to give satisfaction to most persons in attendance. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. MARK-LANE. The country markets, held on Saturday, were quiet for wheat. Previous quotations, however—owing to the limited supplies brought forward—were supported. For spring corn, there was a fair demand, and prices ruled firm. Flour changed hands to a moderate extent at late rates. On the Continent the wheat trade is quiet, at about sta tionary prices. Spring corn, however, is in steady request at full currencies. At Now York the trade for wheat and flour continues dull. Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of wheat, both from Essex and Kent, were small; but the condition of the produce was good. Factors, in consequence of the shortness of the supply, as well as the prevailing unseason able weather, were very firm in their demands, and held both red and white parcels at an advance in prices as com pared with Monday last of ls. per quarter. A consider able proportion of the recent foreign arrivals having gone direct to the millers, buyers operated somewhat cautiously, yet the above improvement in the quotations was, in most instances, obtained. A portion of the supply, for which last Monday's prices were refused, was left unsold. A moderate, but far from extensive supply of foreign wheat was in the stands. The trade for all qualities was very firm. American and old Baltic wheats moved off steadily, and prices had taken an upward tendency. Other descriptions were in moderate request at full currencies. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, and prices ruled firm. The supply of barley on sale was small. The demand was by no means active ; neverthless, both grinding and distilling qualities changed hands at fully late rates. CURRENCY PER IMP.

There was full average supply of foreign stock on sale in our market to-day, in, for the most part, fair condition. Sales progressed to-day, at late rates. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were again very moderate. Those from Lincoln shire and Northamptonshire were in good order. From Scotland the receipts were limited when compared with several previous week; whilst the supply from Ireland was trifling. On the whole, the demand for all breeds ruled firm, at an advance in the quotations compared with Monday last of 2d. per 81bs.

THE EFFECTS OF JEALOUSY._WiIIiam 110dS011, a tall, well- dressed man, about 30 years of ago, was brought be fore Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting Caroline Gosling, a young and very pretty woman, who said she was em ployed on a sewing machine, and living in Sidney-square. The complainant, whose eye was blackened and forehead bruised, said a tender connexion formerly existed between her and the defendant. They lived together for six weeks, and she left him on Saturday week, and told him their parting must be for ever. Last night she was leaving the Eagle Tavern in the Mile-end-road with a young gentle man whom she knew, when the prisoner came up to her, and asked her how she dared to form an acquaintance with any other man besides himself, and wanted her to leave the gentleman she was with. Sho refused to do so, and told him to go about his business. Tho prisoner then earnestly entreated her to renew the connection which formerly existed. She refused, and begged him to leave her. He did so, and she went to Taylor's Supper-rooms and partook of supper. On leaving there the prisoner ac costed her again, stopped her, and called her bad names. She refused to have anything to do with him, and ho then struck her on the eye. She gave him into custody of a police-constable, and ho implored of her not to lock him up, and promised not t o molest her or h i t h er aga i n. She permitted his release, and soon afterwards ho met her again and struck her on tho forehead. She fell, and was raised by the bystanders. Mr Paget—What was doing at the Eagle last night ? Witness—Only the pleasure gardens open, sir. They were open till 11 at night. John Everidgo, a " tailor by trade," said he saw the prosecutrix ill-used. Re was totally unacquainted with her, but he did not like to see a woman knocked about. The prisoner, in defence, said—l was tipsy at the time. I did not know wh a t I di d. John Klaiber, N o . 312 K, said he found the young woman crying, and the prisoner running away. Her forehead was marked and her eye bruised. It was now blackened. He believed the complainant lived in a re spectable house in S ydney -square, Stepney, and was of comparatively good character. Mr. Paget said it was very unmanly to strike a woman, but he could quite understand this arose out of jealousy. The parties had lived together as man and wife, and the prisoner was jealous of the man who was with her. He would allow the prisoner to pay a fine. It was not more than half-a-dozen times he had allowed a man to pay a fine for striking a woman. R e was h ar dl y j ust i f i ed in doing it in this case. Th e p r i soner had committed a cowardly and savage act. He fined h ire 405., and in default one month's imprisonment. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales honoured the performances at the Royal Italian Opera with his presence on Friday even ing. The Prince was accompanied by their Royal High nesses the Duke and Duchess do Brabant, with whom his Royal Highness occupied the Queen's box. The house was well filled with fashionable company. THE HON. R. B ETHELL.—This person, who is the eldest son of the Lord Chancellor, and who has recently been proclaimed an outlaw, was arrested by a sheriff's officer on Ascot race-course on Friday, at the suit of a London creditor. Ito was on the sarn:a evening lodged in Reading Gaol: • LOCKING RAILWAY C A RRI A GES.—Lord St. Leouards has brought in a bill Which is probably the shortest of the Session. It has no recital. It runs thus : —"Be it enacted by, etc. (the regular words of course), from and after tbo 18th of July next it shall not be lawful to lock both the doors of any railway carriage while any passenger is within it." TaE GARDENER'S ROYAL BENEVOLENT INSTITU- TioN.—The twenty-second annual festival of this meritorious institution is fixed for Friday, July 7, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-stre e t , on which occasion aßrityjeoffft Esq., of Woolton Jeffery, festival is, that the gardeners of the nobility and Hthaenc,hLaiivr Liverpool. l o b L e filledgentry contribute the peculiarity flowers to decorate the banquet hall, the exotics to grace the tables, and the fruit for the dessert. Apart from the benevolent object of the institution—viz., providing pen sions for aged and infirm gardeners and others connected with horticultural pursuits—the banquet is of a peculiarly interesting nature. The preceding festivals have all been productive of the greatest benefit to the institution, and it is not for a moment to be doubted that the approaching festival, presided over by such an open-hauded and large hearted gentleman as the chairman, will fall below its pre decessors either in a pleasurable or pecuniary point of view. NEW SPIRITUAL PEER.—In consequence of the death of the Bishop of Chester, the Right Rev. Dr. Travers Jenne, recently consecrated to the Bishopric of Peterborough will become a spiritual peer, and the junior bishop, on whom will devolve the duty of acting as chaplain to the House of Lords. The new Bishop of Chester, whoever ho may be, will remain without a seat in the House of Lords until a vacancy arises in a diocese other than Can terbury, York, London, Durham, or Winchester. The Courrier de Marseille relates that a grey hound belonging to a captain of artillery three days back kept pace with an express train in which was his master, between that city and the Roquefavour Station, a distance of 15 miles. A PIG WITH A WOODEN LEG.--A which got o ne o f it s l egs broken,A tailor in Cou par-Angus,'who had a has replaced the injured limb with a wooden one. It is curious to see the animal hobbling about, but it is thriving as well as before the accident.—Edinburgh Courant. "LES HUGUENOTS." A crowded house, from the front orchestra stalls to the hindermost seat of the amphitheatre, testified on Saturday evening to the attractive bill of fare put forth by Mr. Mapleson. This was what is called a "special" performance of Meyerbeer's capo d' opera, " Gli Ugonotti," in its Italian dress. Mdlle. Ilma de Murska, who has already won "golden opinions," sang, for the first time, the florid music of Mar- - garita di Valois ; a new basso, Herr Rokitanski, made his debut as .11.Iarcello ; a new tenor, M. Joulain, impersonated Raul di Nangis ; and the Counts St. kris and Nevers were entrusted to Signor Foli (a first appear ance) and Mr. Santley. The heroine was once more—and where is there such a Valentina ? the gifted Tietjens; while the charming Trebelli, almost the only Italian in this Gallo-Ebraic opera, was once more the page Urbano. The performance was in every respect a treat to the auditors. The prominent novelty was Mdlle de Murska's Mar guerite de Valois, in which she not only delighted the spectators by her beauty and grace, but enrap tured them by her charming vocalisation of the florid music allotted to her in her one coquettish scene with Raul. M. Joulain sang his portion of the fine trio pre facing the interrupted duel with most pure and dramatic effect. His great scene with Valentina during the massacre, and his finale, were well and carefully sung. Herr Rokitanski has a fine bass voice and dra matic feeling. His denunciations and chaunts were impressive, and the rough Huguenot soldier lost nothing of power in his hands. The " piff-pall' and duet with Tietjens told excellently, and were applauded. Astley's Theatre. On Saturday evening, Mr. Henry Manley, who, it will be recollected, appeared with great success at the Strand Theatre under the late Mr. Allcroft's management, made his re-appearance at Astley's Theatre, in the character of Tom Tug, in the ever pleasing little ballad opera of " The Waterman." He sang the three celebrated songs, " Farewell, my trim-built wherry," " The Bay of Biscay," and " The jolly young waterman," with the greatest taste, and secured for himself in each a rapturous encore. We presume Mr. Manley's appearance on Saturday is merely the prelude to his re-appearance during the opera season at this house. His voice is one of the greatest sweetness, and it is perfectly under control, added to which he is a capital actor. English opera, it is acknowledged on all hands, has long wanted an infusion of " tenor blood " into it ; it appears to us unaccountable that Mr. Manley has remained in the provinces so long. MR. BENEDICT'S CONCERT.—The great concert of the season, which has now been given annually for nine-and-twenty years by the accomplished maestro, Mr. Benedict, is fixed for Wednesday next, at the St. James's Hall, Piccadilly. The programme is one of the most extra ordinary we ever recollect to have seen, as it embraces none but the names of those artistes whose fame has been, or is, the theme of the highest praise in musical circles. The prima donna of both operas, Tietjens, Patti, Lucca, Trebelli, Parepa, Lancia, Gardoni, Sims Reeves, Santley, Richardt, Pischek, Weiss, Arabella Goddard, &c. &c., all appear, and Mr. Benedict himself will execute some of his own pianoforte compositions that have tended to in crease that immense reputation he has achieved, both as a conductor and composer. We invariably look forward to Mr. Benedict's concert with the greatest interest, be cause it is one of the remarkable events of the musical season. That the hall will be filled in every part by a brilliant audience is certain, and those who are so fortunate as to become possessors of a ticket, which are even now at a high premium, may well congratulate them selves in having the means at hand of " assisting" one of the most extraordinary concerts ever given, not only in London, but the world. His Excellency the Austrian Ambassador and the Countess Apponyi will give a grand dinner on Tuesday, the 4th of next month, when his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge will honour the Count and Countess with his company. The Countess Apponyi will have an assembly after dinner to meet the royal duke. The Countess of Derby will, in addition to her assembly to-morrow night, have assemblies on Wednesday, the 28th inst., and on Wednesday, the sth of the ensuing month. It is said that General Count Flahault will be made a Marshal, and that General' Fleury has a good chance of being Minister of War. iL A LITERARY WORK FROM ANTHER BONAPARTE is announced—being a collection of verses in praise of Corsica, from the pen of the PrinceA Marie Bonaparte. BARON FELIX BONNAIRE, the,founder of the Revue Iles Deux Mondes, is announced receStly deceased. LORD CLARENCE PAGET will preside at the anni versary dinner of the Royal Humane Society, fixed for Wednesday next. THE ROYAL ACADEMY EXHIBITION will open to the public in the evening, from half-past seven o'clock un til half-past ten o'clock, at the reduced price, on this even ing and afterwards. LITERARY NIGHT BIRDS !—The recent success of the Owe , says a weekly contemporary, has induced some gentlemen, members of one of the principal clubs in Pall mall, to start a humorous rival, under the title of the Bat. Like its progenitor, it will give all sorts of private intelli gence from the most exclusive quarters, but at what periods, or how, it will take its flight, has not yet been disclosed. A GOOD EXAMPLE.—The Duke of Wellington has addressed the following letter to his tenantry at Stratfieldsaye :—"Dear Sir,-1 think it right to explain clearly to you my feeling regarding the exercise of your vote. It is a trust imposed upon you for the advantage of the country, and the responsibility for the proper exercise of it rests on yourself alone. It is placed by the country in your hands, not in mine, and I beg you distinctly to understand that no one has any authority for stating that I wish to bias you in favour of any candidate.--I am yours, &C., WELLINGTON." IA good service pension of £lOO per annum has been placed at the disposal of the Duke of Cam bridge by the appointment of Major-General Sir C. Van Straubenzee, K.C.8., to be Colonel of the 47th Regiment. Although a rapid young contemporary mentions its bestowal upon Major-General Hastings Doyle, we can state that no candidate has yet been selected for its receipt. —Army and Navy Gazette. VICTOR HUGO'S " PETIT GAVROC E."—An anecdote recently an item of gossip in Brussels. One morning, a few weeks since, an elderly and respect able gentleman might have been seen on the Place de Ville gazing with much curiosity at a sign over a tobacconist's. The words which excited his surprise were "Au Petit Gavroche." Looking first on the sign and then at the number of the house, he said to the friend who was with him, " I really don't understand that— it certainly was here !" Without more consideration he entered, and, speaking to an elderly lady, - said ;—" I beg pardon, madame, but have you resided in this house very long ?" " No, monsieur, we have only been here about two years." " May I ask why you took that sign ? and, if I am not too inquisitive, do you know M. Victor Hugo ?" " I do not ; but I know little Gavroche, for I have read ' Les Misdrables.'"—" Did you like the book ?" " Indeed I did, for I, too, belong to the people. I have seen bar ricades, and I have been in prison for political opinion's sake." From incidents in her career she turned aside to her political opinions, which were ultra. Red Republican. On concluding a list of these—for the subject was a favou rite one, and her listener was very attentive—the gentle man held out his hand to her, saying :—" Madame, allow me to shake hands with you as a friend. lam the father of little Gavroche." It was Victor Hugo. His astonish ment upon seeing his little hero's name on a sign was doubled by its hanging on the house in which he com menced writing " Les Mis6rables." DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—One of the boldest highway robberies which have occurred of late took place during Ascot races. A Mr. Mackay, of 34, Bryan stone-square, left Ascot-heath on Tuesday evening and engaged a fly-driver to convey him to Bisham Abbey. While on the road towards Maidenhead the man suddenly turned the horse down a "blind" lane,and took up another, man on his box. Shortly after this the new arrival delibe rately entered the fly and calmly proceeded to rifle the pockets and person of Mr. Mackay of whatever valuables he could find. Having robbed the gentleman of a hunting watch, gold chain, bracelet, ring, neck-tie fastener, silk umbrella, ckc., the highwayman turned the unfortunate Mr. Mackay out of the fly into the road, and left him to his own resources, the two men, who were evidently accom plices, driving rapidly from the spot. It happened next morning that Mr. Mackay, on returning to Ascot, met the man who had acted as driver, and who calls himself Frank Wood. He was at once arrested by the Berks police, and on being searched the ring stolen from Mr. Mackay wa s found upon him. Mr. Inspector Reece, acting on certain information, despatched a sergeant to a gipsy van on Sun ning-hill bog, belonging to a man named James Rowland, where Mr. Mackay's race glass was found. Rowland, who is supposed to be the man who actually robbed Mr. Mackay, has absconded, but the police are on the look-out for him. In the meantime Wood has been taken before Mr. Crutch ley, one of the county magistrates, and remanded for the present to give time for the capture of his accomplice, ,ITIES. Sheep. Lambs. Calves.

In the English wool trade an increased amount of business has been transacted, SPORTING NOTES. The meeting at Ascot was decidedly the most fashionably attended I ever remember to have seen. The most im portant race on the first day was the meeting of Ely and Baragah in the Eleventh Triennial. Although odds were betted on the former, the latter made the pace so strong that Custance only managed to land his old favourite the winner by a neck, after one of the most exciting races ever witnessed. It was over*Ascot this day twelvemonths that-Ely lowered Fille do l'Air's colours in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, on the strength of which performance, coupled with Blair Athol's knocking about in his unsuc cessful Paris trip, odds were betted on him against the Derby winner for the three-year-old heat of to day's Triennial, which resulted in the easy vic tory of the son of Stockwell and Blink Bonny. Union Jack, who was an immense "pet" for the Hunt Cup, was defeated easily by Gratitude, whose owner netted £lO,OOO by the victory. Mr. Merry also is a winner of about £5,000. The entrytor the Gold Vase was much smaller than usual for her Majesty's gift, and though the field mustered a quartette only, consisting of Tartar, Breeze, Stanton, and Eltham, all shortcomings were made up for by one of the finest contests ever witnessed, which resulted in a dead heat between Breeze and the Derby outsider, Baron Rothschild thus "almost" repeating his Leopold surprise for the Vase in 1852. For the deciding heat, which was run after the last race on the card, odds were betted on Eltham, who ran the longest, and won almost as exciting a race as the previous one by three-quarters of a length. Though defeating one of the most popular patrons of the turf, Mr. Robinson was warmly congratulated on carrying one of the three valuable pieces of plate run for at the Royal meeting, which from being the gift of her Majesty, whatever its intrinsic value, is always cherished with feelings of loyalty and pride by all true sportsmen. Lord Stamford's Chibisa had some difficulty in defeating the highly tried Young Monarque in the New Stakes. Baron Rothschild did not pull out Janitor or he would have defeated the pair easily, even with his 51b penalty. Only six started for the Gold Cup, viz., Ely, General Peel, Victorious, Fille de Zephyr, and Oppressor; Young Rapid and Baragah being reserved for the Alexandra Plate, Breadalbane for the Gratwicke and other valuable engage ments, and Union Jack for a "shorter cut." It was only this morning that Count Lagrange decided by telegraph (owing to legislative duties preventing his personal attend ance at Ascot,) to start Fllle de l'Air for the Cup in prefer ence to the Alexandra Plate, and though it was known that the mare had been stopped in her work during the Bath week, she became a rattling favourite when the stable money went on, and left off " heads and tails" with General Peel, about whom as little as 5 to 4 was taken I early in the morning, when 4 to 1 was offered " bar one," and 6 to 1 " bar two," nothing else but Ely being backed for money besides the two "cracks." The mare looked much lighter than horses stopped in their work generally do, whilst Ely was full of bloom and muscle, and seemed none the worse for his Tuesday's gallop. The others were comparatively disregarded, nor did they take any prominent part in the race, with the ex ception of Oppressor, who was sent to make running for Fille de l'Air, and to see if he can stay, which ho managed to do—in front, too—until reaching the last turn, up to which point the pace was so very moderate that the three " cracks " were all pulling. Ely then took up the running and they set agoing in earnest, but General Peel "never came anigh " until Zephyr gave way at the distance, when he took her place on the outside of File do l'Air, who was at Ely's quarters ; nor could she improve upon that posi tion, and suddenly giving way when it came to racing, left the other two to fight it out, which they did in earnest, Fordham waiting until within fifty yards of the chair when he made his effort, and the General (after " wavering ' for a stride or two, it struck us) catching Mr. Cartwright's horse on the post, made the fourth dead heat for this prize, two of which have occurred within three years—to wit, between Buckstone and Tim Whiffler in 1863 ; the pre- , vious ones having been between Brighton and Epsom— remarkable coincidence—in 1808, and the more memorable one between Camarine and Rowton in 1832. Many thought Fordham waited a little too long, but he never rode a better race in his life. Ely appeared to be the least dis tressed of the two, and recovered much sooner than his more gigantic opponent, who fairly sobbed for some minutes after his saddle was removed. They "ran it off" immediately after the last race, and Ely showed the General no quarter. The latter, though he appeared to pull over the leader all the way until the pinch came, showed the white feather (as he has done more than once before) the instant Fordham called upon him, and swerving half-way across the course, allowed Ely to canter in alone, amidst tremendous cheering not only from the Ring, to whom he did another " good turn," but the public at large, with whom the winner has over been an especial favourite. Half a dozen starters were stripped for the Twelfth Ascot Triennial, and though the lot included two winners at the present meeting in Celerrima and Gardevisure, neither were backed for any amount, in the face of Broomielaw (who represented Mr. Chaplin instead of Breadalbane) and Farewell, each of whom had a strong body of partisans, who "lumped it on" regardless of consequences—Broomie law was backed in three hands alone for close upon £6,000 —that first ono was favourite, and then the other, until at last there was not a pin to choose between them. The race itself was a much more one-sided affair, as Broomielaw jumped off at score, and coming through as hard as ho could split, was never caught, and won by a length and a half, though the victory was anything but a bloodless one, as his well spurred sides afforded evidence of. The Alexandra Plate stood next for decision, and the whole of the 14 " coloured" put in an appearance, except Young Rapid, who, after being specially reserved for this event, broke down on Monday last. John Scott ran three, and on the strength of his close race with Ely on Tuesday, Baragah was made first favourite at 5 to 2, Fille de l'Air, who was backed for large sums, in spite of her indifferent performance in the Cup on the day before, stand ing "next to the poll," having, by some extraordinary oversight on the pert of the framer of the conditions, no penalty for winning the Oaks, though the same was in- flicted on the winner of the Derby, St. Leger, and Prince of Wales's Stakes. Bto 1 was offered " bar two," and taken about Blackdown, next to whom Cathedral, Breeze, Planet, Armagnac, and Stafford, were most fancied of the remainder. Such a goodloooking filed of old horses has not been seen for many a day. The finish between Mlle de l'Air and Strafford (who beat his more fancied stable companion in the race) was one of the finest and most ex citing of the week, and Lord Glasgow was " within an ace" of carrying off this rich prize, which would have been some recompense for his disappointment in the Cup with General Peel, as it was by the shOrtest of heads only that the French mare, who seldom runs two days alike, placed this valuable stake—worth £1,585 clear—to Count Lagrange's already lengthy list of winnings. Fills do l'Air's success created general surprise after her indiffe- rent performance in the Cup only the day before, and is the more inexplicable from the fact of Baragah, who ran Ely to a head after a terrible race on Tuesday, finishing as far behind the French maro to-day as she was beaten by Ely on Thursday ! The meetings for this week are Liverpool and Hampton. The Liverpool Cup I shall expect to see BRADAMANTE or SUCCESS win, and the Middlesex Stakes Auditor or Moose.

She is always clean, efficient, and ready to do her work to any port of the globe at a few hours' notice. We learn as a curious fact that this fine ship has the exclusive privilege in her Majesty's navy of having her iron bottom coated with a well-tried Southampton composition, whilst the rest of her Majesty's iron fleet seem to be doomed to use the old Admiralty chemical anti-fouling composition, and they, as a rule on the lucis non lucendo principle, are "always foul as lawyers' wigs."—[Lord C. Paget's remark in the House of Com mons.] The most extraordinary part of this strange anomaly is that, as we understand it, the Admiralty com position costs nearly twice as much as the other. A passenger named Dickenson, now lying ill at the Charing-cross Hotel, asserts that his life was saved by aLr. Dickens, who rescued him from being strangled. CITY BETTING—THIS DAY.

Lord Licbfield on Aid to Discharged Prison€rs. It was decided at a meeting held at Stoke on Wednes day to form a Discharged Prisoners' Aid Society for North Staffordshire. Lord. Lichfield, who presided over the meeting, said the position of a discharged prisoner, per haps desirous of earning his living honestly, was in many cases most distressing. He left the prison, probably with no money in his pockets, without any prospect of being able to obtain work when he returned home, and pro bably when he got home he found his family reduced to a state bordering on starvation in consequence of the loss of his earnings while he had been in prison. Even sup posing that that man had a fair prospect of getting work, what was he to do in the meantime? He probably had. but one course to pursue—to go back to those old as sociates who in all probability were the means of getting him into difficulty; and, under these circumstances, in many instances, he became a confirmed criminal. Although there might be some difference of opinion as to what number of cases could be satisfactorily dealt with by such a society as that, there were few but would allow that if timely assistance were given for, a prisoner during that critical period he might be saved from becoming a confirmed criminal. The law, as they were aware, had always sanctioned some relief being given to the prisoners on their discharge. The old law of Geo. IV. gave power to visiting justices to award a certain sum of money to prisoners on their discharge, in order to admit of them being able to find their way home. To his mind it was clear that in some cases such aid was absolutely neces sary, although no doubt in many cases it was clearly ob jectionable, because the money was as likely to be mis spent as not, and it frequently happened that prisoners who had received this money had met their old associates on leaving prison, and were taken to a publichouse, and from that time there was little hope for them. But the course which was adopted by these societies was a different one to that. In 1862 the proceedings of the societies had at tracted so much attention that the Legislature gave power to visiting justices in all cases to pay to the ac count of the discharged prisoner, on a certificate from the Discharged Prisoners' Aid Society, a sum not exceeding £2 ; and it had been found, by the experience of the working of those societies which had been in exist ence—and one of the first, if not the very first, which was started was in Birmingham—that the average expen aliture had not exceeded 15s. to 16s. per prisoner. The scheme he proposed they should adopt was very much the same as that in operation in Birmingham. The Birming ham society had a paid agent, who was in constant com munication with the chaplain of the gaol, and the visiting justices authorised the expenditure of such sums as the society thought fit, not exceeding £2 per head of those who came out of gaol. In all cases notice was sent to the society before the prisoner's discharge, and the society took care not to undertake any case unless they saw their way clear for giving some effectual aid. The agent of the society was placed, so far as the prison rules would allow, in communi cation with the prisoners before their discharge as much as would enable him to form an idea of what description of work the prisoner could do, what mode of treatment would be best adapted to him when he came out of prison, and the course then pursued was that the prisoner on his discharge was given over to the agent, who had to find lodgings for him until ho could get work, and assist him with suffi cient to meet his daily expenses. Nothing more was done for that man than was absolutely wanted during the few days that in general elapsed before the agent was able to obtain work for him. Besides the Birmingham society, they had the experience of other societies, and one of the most important was the central society, in London, which dealt for the most part with convicts ; and between 1857 and 1863 (both inclusive), the total number of cases dealt with by that society was 3,619. Out of this number 1,011 had emigrated. Where these men were placed in employ ment, their employers were invariably made acquainted with their antecedents, and in the report of the Central Society there was the statement that not one of the men recommended by the society in service left his employ through dishonesty. There was one objection made to so cieties of this kind, that they were doing more for those who had fallen into crime than they were doing for the honest poor. This was a fallacy, for the societies attempted not to give discharged prisoners an advantage over others of their own class, but as far as lay in their power to pre vent their being degraded below that class. He was one of those who maintained that the punishment ought to be in itself sufficient for the offence, and that, on the prisoner's discharge from prison, his punishment should cease.

BERLIN, June 16.—The committee on the budget of the First Chamber proposes in its report to reject the budget of 1865, as it has issued from the deli beration of the Second Chamber, and because it does not appear to be in conformity with Art. 99 of the Constitution. The First Chamber proposes to invite the Government to fix and declare, as normal expenses, those which shall be necessary to carry on the services of the Government in a proper manner, and such as is befitting to the mission of Prussia. A rather active demand has prevailed to-day for discount accommodation, and although there has not been so great an abundance of capital at the com mand of brokers and others, the rates have continued to show an easy tendency, viz., 28 and 3 per cent. for short-dated paper. The Royal Portuguese Railway Company have notified that a sum of 7 francs 50 centimes will be paid per obligation (fully paid up), for interest for the first half of the present year, on and after the Ist July. A sum of 15 francs per share fully paid up for the first half of 1865 will also be payable on the Ist July. From the manufacturing districts the accounts during the past week have in most instances been satisfactory. At Manchester both cloths and yarns have been in good demand at full rates. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders field,there has been abetter inquiry for winter fabrics, while the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham have exhibited more activity. In the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there is not much variation to report.
