MARKETS---This Day RK-LANE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market, to-day, were very moderate. The demand, however, both for red and white qualities ruled very inactive, at the late decline in prices. The imports of foreign wheat having increased, the trade for all descriptions ruled quiet. As regards prices, however, the market was firm, Monday's currency being supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand at full quotations. Barley, of which there was a fair supply on offer, sold slowly at late rates. Malt . w as in but m o d erate request at late rates. There was a large supply of oats on sale : the trade for all qualities riled very inactive, and prices had a drooping tendency. Beans ruled firm, and the quotations wero rather on the advance. Peas moved off steadily at full currencies. There Was a fair demand for flour at quite preuious rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEX. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The poll commenced at 12 and closed at 3 o'clock, when the election was found to fall on the following: Clerks—E. Sanson, £3O ; H. B. Kemp, 30; R. Sanson, 30. Widows—M. A. Collings, 15 ; H.

P , the treasurer, addressed a few remarks to the clerks assembled. He said he was sure some of the officers of the association, although they would have to pay the annuities (laughter)—felt as he did—viz., that those just elected might live long to enjoy the benefits to which they had become elected. He hoped the unsucessful candidates would not be cast down by the results of the poll ; he hoped the day would come when all the applicants of to-daywould become participators in the fund. (Cheers.) The clerks were under deep obligations to the members of the board for the zeal and energy with which they administered the affairs of the association which he thought ought to receive the unanimous support of th e c l er k s o f th e coun t ry. Th anks having been voted to the respected treasurer, the proceed ings terminated.

MIDLAND. The adjourned special meeting of this company was held yesterday at Derby, for the purpose of considering several bills now before Parliament ; Mr. W. H. Hutchinson presided. The CHAIRMAN said the first bill he had to submit was for conferring additional powers on the Midland Railway Company for the construction of works and otherwise in relation to their own undertaking and the undertakings of other companies. It was an omnibus bill, and contained a great variety of powers to enable the Midland to construct small branches. They proposed to abandon the Valley line and sub stitute for it the Staveley works line. There were also powers to cross several streets at Burton-on- Trent, and to purchase land in London, Bristol, and other places. Mr. Beale, the solicitor, read the heads of the bill, which, after some discussion, was approved. The CHAIRMAN said the next bill was to authorise the Stonehouse and Nailsworth Railway Company to extend their railway from Dudbridge to the Great Western Railway at Stroud. The bill was approved, and the meeting was ad journed to the 7th of June. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Waterloo station, Captain Mangles in the chair, to consider a bill now before Parliament. The CHAIRMAN said he was happy to tell the meeting this would be the last occasion upon which they would be troubled this session. The bill was promoted by an independent company, and the rail way was intended to form a junction between the Porton station of the London and South-Western system and the Berks and Hants Railway at Pewsey and Woodborough. Mr. Burcham, the solicitor, having read the heads of the bill, The CHAIRMAN moved a formal resolution ap proving it, which was adopted unanimously. In reply to Mr. llerapa.th, the CHAIRMAN said the South-Western company had adopted the scheme, believing that it would bring grist to the mill. The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. MEMORIAL TO THE LATE ARCHBISHOP WISEMAN. The following appeared in our late Edition of yesterday evening : This afternoon a public meeting of Roman Catholic noblemen and gentlemen was held at the Hanover-square Rooms, for the purpose of providing a monument to the memory of the late Cardinal Wiseman, titular Archbishop of Westminster. The large " Queen's Concert Room," in which the meet• ing was held, was filled, most of the Roman Catholic no. bility and gentry being present. The Most Rev. Dr. Manning was called to the chair. Amongst those present were Lord Petre, Viscount Campden, Viscount Fielding, Dr. Gilbert, Sir C. Clifford, Canon O'Neal, Mr. Pope Hennessy, M.P., Sir G. Bowyer, M.P., Mr. Blake, M.P., Canon Morris, the Marchionesss of Londonderry, Sir Pyors Mostyn, the Very Rev. Canon Rock, Welby Pugin, Esq., &c., &c. The Archbishop of WESTMINSTER elect said he thanked the meeting for the kind manner in which:they hadaccepted the nomination of Lord Petre, seconded by the Hon. P. Mostyn, that he should have the happiness of presiding. He knew when a former meeting took place a delicate feeling prompted those who were present to suggest that it would be better to wait until a new Archbishop of Westminster should be elected, lest any proposal might be adopted which might not receive the approval of the new arch bishop. (Hear, hear.) It was now his pleasure to give the Catholic people of England an assurance on that subject. It had pleased the Holy See to appoint him to fill the see of Westminster—(hear, hear) — and he Could say that there was not an object that could give him greater pleasure than the erection of the proposed memorial cathedral—(cheers)—connected as it would be with the memory of one of the kindest, the dearest, and best friends he ever had. (Cheers.) He would, without further occupying their time, call upon Mr. Patterson to give the meeting an outline or narrative of what had al ready been done, and how matters stood at the present time. The Rev.Mr.FATTERSON, in relating the causes that had led to the present meeting, said that 12 months ago a paper was circulated amongst the friends of Cardinal Wise man with a view of presenting that eminent man with a testimonial of regard for his personal and public virtues on the occasion of twenty-five years of his episcopal consecration. (Cheers.) It was subsequently thought that the first suggestion—that of a picture—should take a larger form, and a service of church plate was proposed as the form of testimonial, and that design would have been carried out, but the event which Providence decreed • separated his friends and admirers from him for ever. A committee, as soon as possible after the death of his Eminence, was formed, and a meeting was afterwards held at the Stafford Club, at which resolutions for building a cathedral as a memorial was unanimously agreed to. After the application was made to Rome for advice, and at this moment, although nothing could be done to forward the object of the memorial until after the selec tion of the late cardinal's successor as Archbishop of West minster, yet his correspondent assured him that that point had nearly been settled, and that he had great pleasure in announcing that the person appointed would heartily second the object in view. (Cheers.) That as sumption had been verified—(cheers) ; and although they had been actively engaged for the last five or six weeks, yet the subscriptions to aid in carrying out the proposal amounted to £ll,OOO. (Cheers.) That, of course, would be but a small portion of the amount required, but he felt assured that with earnestness and per severance success was certain. He had letters from Lord E. Howard, Lord Arundel of Wardour, Lord C. Thynne, Mr. Wright, of Kelvedon, and the Rector of May nooth expressing their regret at not being able to attend the meeting ; and also letters from America, India, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy, and many other places, all promising cordial support. Count Montalembert also had sent stat ing his inability to attend, but expressing his deepest sym pathy with the object in view. He had within the last few days received a letter from Vienna, containing a con tribution of £l,OOO towards the proposal, but he could not tell them the name of the generous donor. This was a world wide sympathy with them, and success could not but be certain. It had been thoughtby some that the erection of a cathedral would entail such a call upon charity that other 4 laudable objects would suffer, but after the fullest considera tion, it was finally resolved that the cathedral should be the object decided on, and that it shouldbe such an one as would be a standing advertisement of the existence of the Roman Catholic Church in this country. (Cheers.) They had only to appeal to the world in the name of Cardinal Wise man, and success must follow. All that now was wanted to accomplish the task was energy and well-directed work. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then called upon _ Mr. J. POPE HENNESSY, who on rising was received with loud cheers, said he had to more the following resolution : "That their lordships the Bishops of the Province, and the most eminent, most rev., and the right rev. prelates in Ire land, Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal, North and South America, India and the British Colonies, and elsewhere, be invited to co-operate as vice-presidents of this work with the provost and chap ter of the cathedral church, and the noblemen and gentle men and members of Parliament present at this meeting, at home and abroad." The hon. gentleman, in moving the resolution, said he believed it was true what had been said of Cardinal Wiseman, that he was not of one country, but of all nations, that his labours had never been confined to one district, but that they had been cosmopolitan. The memorial proposed to be erected to the late Archbishop combined both greatness and simplicity. While he was always teaching, the late Cardinal was always the intelligent student. The late Cardinal was never actuated either by compromise or coWardiee• He had nothing to be ashamed of in his religion, and the cathedral they were about to erect would be a proof 6f the faith the clergy had in him throughout the world. (Hear; hear.) Mr. BAGSHAW, Q.C., in seconding the resolution, said in the first place, before he proceeded to acquit himself of the duty that had been placed upon him, he had to explain to them that had not Justice Shee had to attend the Lord Chancellor's levee ha most certainly would have been present. (Hear.) He could not but say with what pleasure he attended there that day, because he cherished with the utmost affection the memory of the late Cardinal Wiseman. It had been wisely said that the Car dinal was not a man of one particular country—he was a man of the world. (Cheers.) He was one of the kindest and best of men, and he sincerely believed that the Al mighty never created a more amiable man. (Cheers.) He begged cordially to second the resolution, and in doing so promised, on the part of the Catholics of Wales, that as much as could would be raised in that poor country, for poor it was. (Cheers.) The Rev. CHAIRMA.N then put the resolution, and it was carried unanimously. Mr. BLAKE, M.P. for Waterford, moved the fourth reso lution :--" That subscriptions for the object proposed by the meeting be at ones entered into." He should not, after the very excellent address they had heard, trespass long upon their patience, but he must be permitted •to say that he felt certain that his country would well respond to the proposal to erect a metropolitan cathedral, and he felt cer tain the fears that other charities would suffer from the great exertions that would have to be made for the memo rial were entirely groundless, and that no other work of usefulness would suffer. (Cheers.) The committee to be appointed to carry out the wish of the meeting would, he felt certain, be worthy of the memory of the great man whose name it was sought to perpetuate. (Cheers.) Sir G. BOWYER said it had been the good fortune of the former speakers to perform the agreeable part of the proceedings, but it had come to his and his hon. friend's share to do the other, but not less important, part of the meeting, viz., the announcing of the opening of the sub scription lists. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) After all that had been said, ho would not occupy them with any length ened observations in eulogy of the late Cardinal Arch bishop, because all knew his goodness, and all cherished his memory in their hearts. (Cheers.) There had been some objection to the proposed memorial cathedral, and some had objected to subscribe because they had already done so, and were in the habit of subscribing to schools, convents, and chapels ; but they would not, he felt certain, be unprepared for a little opposition at the outset of their labours. (Cheers.) He felt certain that other churches would not suffer by the proposal. With respect to the object now before them all could give something, and if all gave that something the cathedral would be erected. (Cheers.) If people did not resolve to do great things, great things would never be done. All present wanted something great done, and the best thing was to pass the resolutions to do it—(cheers) —to strike while the iron was hot. (Loud cheers.) The Rev. Chairman then put the resolution to the meet ing, and decided it carried unanimously. The Rev. Mr. PATTERSON said that all who wished to take advantage of the suggestions of the last speaker, viz., to strike whilst the iron was hot, would find the anvil pre pared for them at the doors, (Loud laughter.) Mr. ESMOND, M.P. for Waterford, moved the next reso lution—viz., " That the Archbishop Elect (chairman), Lord Edward Howard, Lord Petre (trustees), Viscount Campden, Canon O'Neal, Sir C. Clifford (treasurers), Dr. Gilbert (vice-chairman), and the Rev. J. Patterson (secre tary), be the committee for carrying out the wishes of the meeting. (Cheers.) Father GALWEY seconded the resolution. He said all they wanted now was the funds to erect the cathedral. That they were all agreed upon. There would be quite time enough for discussion when style and position were to be decided on. (Cheers.) The resolution was carried unanimously. _ _ The Secretary (Mr. Patterson) read a list of subscriptions up to the present time :--Anonymous, £2,000 ; Viscount Campden, £l,OOO ; V. Fielding, £l,OOO ; E. Bailey, £5OO : E. Bailey, £5OO ; E. Firth, £5OO ; W. Sills, £2OO ; R. Dely, £2OO ; Rev. A. Paul, £lOO ; J. M'Cabe, £lOO ; Mostyn Sir Pyers, £2OO ; Sergt. Bellases, £lOO ; T. Ward, £lOO ; Sir Chas. Clifford, £lOO ; Mr. North, £lOO ; Mr. Wetman, £lOO ; Mr. Dnmphy, £lOO ; Miss Tasker, £l,OOO ; Stuart Mill, £250 ; Mr. Edward Blunt of Paris, £5OO ; besides a large number of subscribers ranging between £5O to £5, Sir P. Mosnat moved, and the Very Rev. Canon BOCK, D.D., seconded a vote of thanks to the Archbishop Elect, for presiding over them that day. (Cheers.) The meeting agreed to the proposal unanimously, and gave three vociferous and hearty cheers for the newly appointed Archbishop. Dr. MANNING, in returning thanks, said he should do very ill if he was to detain them after the length of time they had been already in that room, but he should do still worse if . he did not give free 'utteranc.e to the fulness of his heart on the matter before them. (Cheers.) He thought there should be a cathedral erected in London.; and although they could not expect to . equal Notre Dame, yet. they could erect a building in which their holy religion, could be properly celebrated. Such' an edifice they had not at present. He had thought. of the objections to the plan of those who proposed schools, but he felt that the clergy and laity must exert themselves to the utmost in the cause of education, and that, as the erection of the cathedral was a transient act, to be done but once, it would be well to set about it in earnest ; and he begged to assure every one present that the memorial, dedicated as it was to the memory of one of the most learned, kindest, and best of men, should have his most earnest and best support. (Cheers.) The proceedings then terminated. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, TATTERSALL'S-LAST EVENING. The "off " day preceding the Epsom week is an excep tion to the rule, and falling, as it did to-day, between the Bath and Harpenden meetings, it could not fail to produce some features of interest in the Derby betting. Members began to assemble early, and from the first settling on the Bath meeting was proceeded with, alternated by some transactions—on the quiet—on the Derby. When specula tion began in earnest 6 to 1 was taken about Gladiateur, 7 to 1 Breadalbane, 9 to 1 each about the Duke and Archi medes, and 10 to 1 about Wild Charley, seVeral of the re mainder being supported at various prices. Shortly before five o'clock, however, it was officially announced that The Duke had been scratched at 4.14 p.m., a declaration which was received with blank asto nishment by all, and with dismay by a great many. For some time the news was too ugly to believe, but the presence of Mr. Weatherby in the subscription-room, to gether with the well-known Burlington-street sign manual on the " notice board," soon dispelled the fondest doubts. As might naturally be supposed, many deplored their own personal losses by the scratching of a horse that had oc cupied so unequivocally firm a position in the betting from the first day he was backed for the Derby ; bjit, despite their own disappointment, they did not forget to express their sympathy for the noble owner, who, they said, though the heaviest sufferer himself, never attempted to recoup himself to the amount of a single guinea when he found that his horse had gone amiss. For this act alone the Marquis of Hastings will be regarded as a true and worthy supporter as well as patron of the Turf, and it may be some small recompense for his sudden dis appointment to know that of the numerous backers of the Duke there is no one who will not mingle with his own chagrin his individual regret for the baffled expectations of the young English nobleman who has sacrified so much to secure that coveted trophy, the " Blue riband" of the Turf. On the withdrawal of the Duke the betting under went a complete change. 9 to 2 was taken 'and offered about Gladiateur, and 11 to 2 accepted about Breadalbane, while Archimedes advanced to 7 to 1, taken freely. But the most noteworthy changes were anent Christmas Carol, Longdown, and Oppressor, who shot ahead with such suddenness that 13 to 1 and 14 to 1, each to £lOO, were taken about the first two respectively, while 1,000 to 70 was vainly sought for about Mr. Mackenzie's horse. Chattanooga was again sadly knocked about. The first bet booked about Mr. Naylor's horse was 2,200 to 100, but, after the scratching of The Duke, the opposi tion had another shy at him, when 20 to 1, 18 to 1, 20 to 1, and 18 to 1 again and again were laid in "tens," "ponies," and fifties"—a state of things which tended but little to establish this still mysterious horse in public favour. The Marquis of Hastings's second string, Kan garoo, said to have escaped the influenza which struck down his stable companion, was inquired after, 1,000 to 20 being taken twice. The remainder of the transactions will be found amply detailed in the subjoined list of closing prices : 3 4 la' 105 107 47 49 79 81 10) 102 ICi 101 10) ;Oici 84 86 8) t 4 d 101 2 , 104 93 95 89 91 65 67 108 103 INES. 7 78 29 30 600 610 131 147 8 BRIT'S II Atlantic & St. Born., Baroda, Cen.

A special meeting of this company was held yes terday at the office, Victoria-street, Westminster, Earl Vane in the chair, to consider two bills now before Parliament, the first authorising the amalga mation of the Aberystwith and Welsh Coast Rail way with the Cambrian Railway Company ; the other empowering the Cambrian Railway Company to abandon the Wem branch of their undertaking. On the motion of:the CHAIRMAN, formal resolu tions approving the bills were adopted, and the pro ceedings terminated. CARMARTHENSHIRE. A special meeting of this company was held yes terday at the offices, Bank-buildings, Lothbury. On the motion of Mr. J. W. JonNs, the chairman, a bill to confer further powers on the company was approved. CALCUTTA AND SOUTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Gresham-house, Old Broad street—Mr. J. Borradaile in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in Ike Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in. moving the adoption of the report, said they had still to deal in hopes for the future that their accounts would improve. The great movement that had taken place in Calcutta respecting the establishment of the Port Canning Railway was of considerable importance to the. rail way, and would no doubt prove a most powerful auxiliary to their undertaking. All the works done at Port Canning by the new company would be of immediate advantage to the railway. The ships at that port were about as many as they could attend to at present, but for the increased traffic they might soon expect their rolling stock to be totally inadequate. They had suffered from deficient sta tion accommodation, but now it appeared the Go vernment were ready to allow the company to pro vide the requisite accommodation. There was no doubt that it would be necessary to double the line from Calcutta to the Mutlah. On the shareholders giving authority they would have to raise money for that and other purposes, but nothing could be done in that way without the Government guarantee. He had two resolutions to submit after the adoption of the report, one was to authorise the directors to raise whatever sum might be necessary for the pur poses of the company under the sanction of the Se cretary of State for India ; and the other was to enable them to reduce the quorum necessary to con stitute a meeting of the company. There was now a certainty of having a bridge across the Hooghly at a point about five miles above Calcutta, uniting the East Indian and Eastern Bengal Railways. That project would not concern them so much as a bridge across the Hooghly from the East India Railway at Hourah to the company's terminus in Calcutta, which, no doubt, would sooner or laterjn done. The revenue of the company showed a deficiency after deducting working expenses, but as the past half year had been a rainy and unhealthy time he hoped it would be the last deficiency of that kind they would have. At the request of some of the pro prietors Sunday trains had been run on their line, and it was found that about the same amount as on working days had been received, but being entirely passenger traffic it involved less cost for working than on other days. Mr. MARSHAYI seconded the adoption for the re port. Mr. T. ADAMS said the rolling stock of the line had cost £59,600, and it was generally understood in England that the cost of the rolling stock and the amount of one year's traffic receipts on a railway were about the same in amount, but that did not appear to be the case in India. The CHAIRMAN said the additional cost of send ing out the stock to India and other matters made a difference. The Government had recently autho rised them to order 150 additional waggons for the traffic. The report and balance-sheet were then unanimously adopted, and Mr. J. C. Marshman and Mr. Mitchell, the retiring directors, were re-elected; and also Mr. Goodschap and Mr. Johnson, the re tiring auditors, with an allowance of £2O each for auditing the accounts. The meeting was then made special, and the direc tors were authorised to increase the nominal capital of the company to such an extent as might be re quired, under the sanction of the Secretary of State for India.. It was also agreed to alter one of the articles of association, so that te n s h are h olders, re presenting £2,500 stockin the company, should at future meetings form a quorum. The CHAIRMAN stated that these resolutions would require the confirmation of another meeting, which would be held in about three weeks for the purpose, and the proceedings terminated. MADRAS. The traffic receipts on the company's south-west line for the quarter ending March 31st last amounted, on 492 miles open, to £83,306, or £l6O per mile, against £59,963, on 407 miles open, or £147 per mile, for the corresponding period of 1864. On the company's north-west line the receipts for the three months. amounted to £7,399, on 70 miles open, or £94 per mile, against £2,971, on 41 miles open, or £72 per mile, for the same period last year. On the two lines together the increase for the quarter was £27,771, or 44 per cent., in receipts, and 123 miles, or 271 per cent. in the length of way open. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The traffic receipts on this company's lines for the week ending the 6th inst., amounted for local pas sengers to £6,005; for foreign passengers to £2,073; for emigrants to £307 ; for mails, &c., to £612; for local freight and live stock to £12,578; and for foreign freight and live stock to £4,B23—total, £26,398, and for the corresponding week last year to £22,305, showing an increase of £4,093. The total receipts from Jan. Ist to the 6th inst. amounted to £428,188, against £406,010 for the correspond ing period in 1864, showing an increase of £22,178.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE S —This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. VIOLENT THREATS BY AN ALLEGED LUNATIC.—Mary Ann Hymens, a married woman, residing in John street, Tottenham-court-road, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant charged with using threats towards Mrs. Martha Hampton, her landlady, and Mrs. Alice Cook, a fellow lodger. • Mrs. Hampton said—l consider the prisoner is mad and not fit to be at large. She brought down a knife and swore she would rip every one up, her language being frightful. Alice Cook—A fortnight ago I heard the prisoner say that she would rip up every one in the house, having a knife in her hand at the time. She brandished the knife about and swore she would have some one's life, and that if I did not keep in my room she would kill me. On Sun day night last she had some words with her husband, who went out, and she then said she would go down and kill the landlady. I heard her sharpen a knife on a stone. I do not think the prisoner is accountable for her acts. The Prisoner—lt is not true. A man in the house whistled at me, and I spoke about it. James Paire, one of the warrant officers, said—On taking the prisoner into custody she became very excited, and I had great difficulty in getting her to come away with me, or she would have been brought up yesterday. Prisoner—Yes, because I was not guilty. Mr. Tyrwhitt—The people in the house must be pro tected whether you are a lunatic or not. I shall remand you for a week, and by that time the state of your mind will be inquired into. THAMES. IMPUDENCE AND RESIGNATION.—James Cogle, a poor shoeless boy, aged 13 years, was brought before Mr. Part ridge charged with attempting to steal a till and its con tents from the shop of Mrs. Eliza Taylor, ship biscuit baker, of No. 124, Cock-hill, Rateliff. Mrs. Taylor stated that last evening she saw the prisoner behind her counter and about to remove the till. She at first thought it was her own boy, but on closer inspection she found it was a strange lad, and she got up and laid hold on him. Another boy came into the shop and tried to rescue him. Prisoner—There ho is. Mr. Partridge—Who, what do you mean ? Another boy left the back of the court, got into the dock alongside the prisoner and said, " Here I am, sir." Prisoner—This is the chap who was with me. Mr. Partridge ordered the " chap" to leave the dock and said there was no charge against him. If there was a charge he would not hear -it in such an irregular way of bringing a case before him. George Coleman, a police-constable, No. 270 K, stated that the prisoner had been in custody before, and was a very impudent boy. No shopkeeper was safe from his petty depredations. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been very much neglected. Mr. Partridge having made inquiries about the prisoner's father and family, said he should order the prisoner to be detained three years at the Feltham Industrial School, and his father to pay 2s. per week for his support. The Prisoner--Three years at the Feltham School ? Mr. Partridge—Yes, three years. The Prisoner—Thank you. I don't mind that. Throe years. Good! STABBING.—EmanueI Visaro, a Spanish seaman, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with robbing and wounding Emma Frost, of No. 15, Albert-square, Shad well. The prosecutrix said she was in a " dance-room " in Whitechapel last night, and saw the prisoner and other foreign sailors beating a young man. She interfered and the prisoner struck her on the head with a sharp instru ment. Mary Ann Scanton confirmed the evidence of Frost. Robert Payne, a police-constable, No. 198 1 said the surgeon at the London Hospital pronounced the wound on the woman's head to be a very serious one. She bled copiously from the wound.
