bIOGFZIARKET AND COMPLIERCIAL LNTELLIGENUE TWELVE OCLOCK . A large num b er of Indian bills which' arrive • at maturity to-day have been previously provided for, and the inquiry is therefore not immediately active. The supply of capital is abundant, but the brokers still evince much circumspection, and only discount the best short paper at rates ranging from 8 per Cent. There was a withdrawal from the Bank of Eng land on Saturday of 25,000 sovereigns for Belgium, but 20,000 sovereigns were received there from Alexandria. The directors of the English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank, in their report to be presented on the 30th inst., state that there is an available total of £23,183, which they recommend to be appropriated as follows :—£21,000 in payment of a dividend of 7 per cent. per annum, £l,OOO to be placed against the premises account, and to carry forward the balance—£l,lB3—to the next account. This result is not so favourable as the directors an ticipated, and they attribute it to the failure of the crops for the last two seasons, which has affected the general business of Sydney. The report of the Provincial Banking Corpora tion has been issued to-day. The accounts, made IT to the end of June last, show that the gross profits have been £30,598 18s. 9d. ; and the direc tors recommend a dividend, free of income tax, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum for the half-year. , Mr. J. B. Gibb ons an d M r. J . H . Til lett, the liquidators of the East of England Bank, have de clared a further dividend of 2s. Gd. in the pound (making with previous dividends 205.), and have made it payable in Norwich on the Gth August and the four following days. Two O'CLOCK.

Nervous derangement caused by recent ill ness, and the fears of a threatened attack of paralysis, aro assigned as the cause of the act, though a ccrrespondent of the Tribune alleges that Mr. Lane killed himself in con sequence of remorse for having supported the President in violation of the wishes of his constituents, who manifested their displeasure by slighting him on his return to Kanttas.

MA RKE TS. —This Day. MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets, held on Saturday, ruled heavy, and the prices realised were, in most instances, about 6d per quarter beneath the late highest point. Spring corn of all descriptions sold heavily, at barely late rates. The flour trade was dull, at drooping prices. On the Continent the trade for wheat is in a very inac tive state, at drooping quotations. For spring corn the trade is very quiet. At New York the export demand for wheat and flour has not increased. Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were large—viz., 54,682 quarters of wheat, 12,860 barley, 71,082 oats, 500 rye, 113 beans, 1,986 peas, 280 linseed, 5,815 rape and oil seeds, 5,380 maize, 70 sundry seeds, and 835 sacks of flour. The transactions in seeds wore to a very moderate ex tent. East India aniseed and rapeseed are firm in price. In the value of other seeds there is no change. There was only a moderate demand for cakes, at barely late rates. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate. Owing to the large importation and the fine weather, the trade for all qualities was very dull. Even the few samples on offer was diffi cult of disposal, and prices were quite 3s. per quarter lower than on Monday last. The supply of foreign wheat on sale was tolerably large. In all descriptions sales progressed very slowly, and a de cline of 2s. to 3s. per quarter took place in the quotations. Floating cargoes of wheat gave way in price 2s. per quarter. Spring corn, afloat, declined Is. per quarter. Very little English barley was on sale, but the show of foreign produce was good. The trade was dull, and prices declined is per quarter. Malt sold slowly, at bare ly late rates. Oats were in good supply, and the trade was very inac tive. at is per quarter less money.

ROBBERY. —John Dixon, a cigar manufacturer, and John Smith, a gunmaker, who described themselves as being resident at Birmingham, were brought before Mr. Alder mmaonrrniseosnleoyf £ charged with being concerned in robbing John From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor was in the neighbourhood of Bishopsgate-streot the evening before, and that he had met the prisoners at a public house when he treated them to some drink. They all left together, and when they got to St. Helen's-place, St. Mary-axe, ono of the prisoners put his hand into his pocket, and took out the money in question. He iden tified the sovereign produced as being the one of which ho was robbed. _ Smith said that he had met the prosecutor in a public house, and that he and the other prisoner treated him to some ale. He (prosecuto4 had been previously drinking, and when they left the public-house became so stupid that he was obliged to lie down on the road. They remained with him until he recovered himself partially, and on his coming to his senses he accused them of having robbed him. He considered they were all the worse for drink. It appeared that the prisoners wero known to the police, and the magistrate sentenced them to three months' impri sonment and hard labour. Wales The Prince and P r i ncess of Wales at Wimbledon. GRAND VOLUNTEER REVIEW. The Wimbledon meeting of 1866, from first to last the most successful held by the National Rifle Association, closed on Saturday with corresponding eclat. The great central marquee, which in its time plays many parts —a giant sun-shade for re posing marksmen, an orchestra for the musicians, a church on Sundays—by judicious internal adap tation of seats, becomes a gallery for spectators ; with other flanking marquees and enclosures less costly in their admission fees. In front of this great central tent a special mar quee was erected for the accommodation of the Royal party, furnished with chairs, some of State and some for comfort, the turf being covered with crimson cloth and Turkey carpeting. Right and left of the Royal marquee were tables, or wings, on which the more massive and costly of the prizes in the gift of the Association were displayed. In rear of the marquee a guard of honour, furnished by contingentq from all the battalions in the regimental camp—viz., the Civil Service, Ist Surrey, London Rifle Brigade, Queen's Westminster, Victorias, 19th Middlesex, and London Scottish, was com manded by the senior Lieutenant-Colonel present. The winners of tho principal prizes, whose names from day to-day it has been the business of the statistical department to elicit, were drawn up by Captain Mildreay in proper order of precedence on the right of the marquee ; and during the interval preceding the arrival of the Royal party these favourites of fortune were the objects of close atten tion on the part of the spectators. The ranks in cluded many faces familiar at former meetings, but also a fair proportion of entirely new men. Shortly after half-past 4 o'clock a distinguished party, consisting of his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh; Lord and Lady Elcho, Lord Lichfield, Lord and Lady Spencer, Lord and Lady Constance Grosvenor took up their positions under the mar quee. A little before 5 o'clock a movement at the lower or carriage entrance, with the accompanying cheers, betokened the approach of the Royal party. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales drove upon the ground in an open carriage and four, with outriders, and were received with presented arms by the guard of honour, the band playing the National Anthem, and the spectators rising from their seats. Having acknowledged the respectful greetings of the distinguished company assembled in the marquee, her Royal Highness, who wore a blue transparent dress over blue silk, trimmed with white, and a bonnet to match, was conducted to the seat of honour. The ceremony commenced with a short introductory statement on the part of Lord Elcho, who apprised the assembly of the great success of the meeting, of the presence of the different members of the Royal family, and of the signal honour which her Royal Highness was about to confer on the Association by presenting the prizes in person to the successful competitors. These gentlemen were accordingly called forward in turn, Captain Mildmay, the secretary of the Association, presenting the objects of value succes sively to her Royal Highness, by whom they were then placed in the hands of the proper recipients. In some cases, such, for instance, as the Enfield In ternational Trophy, the size and massiveness of the prize prevented the Princess from doing more than gracefully pointing to them ; but in every case where manual delivery was possible her Royal Highness exerted herself to enhance the value o the distinction. Mr. Fletcher, of Liverpool, in plain clothes, but with the badge of the English Eight upon his arm, led the procession, which was closed by Private Cameron, in the kilted uniform of 6th Inverness-shire, the winner of the Queen's Prize. ObNiously none but the more con- spicuous prizes could be presented, or the ceremony would have been too protracted. The limitation in particular cases, however, was not without its at- tendant hardships. Major Leech, for instance, as captain of the Irish Twenty, passed in front of the Royal marquee to receive, on the part of Ireland, the beautiful international trophy to which the shooting of his countryman, Mr. Hopkins, entitled the country ; but for himself he obtained nothing. Had the money prizes been distributed at the same time, he would have received from the Princess of Wales the value of one of the principal carton prizes. A deputation attended from Harrow to receive the Ashburton Shield and Spencer Cup ; another from Oxford to carry off the Chencellor's Plate; but an incident which gave rise to much laughter and cheer ing was when the members of the Scottish Eight, having had delivered over to them the Elcho Chal lenge Shield, shouldered it in business-like fashion, and set out with a steady pace, as if about to carry it straight to Scotland. Lord Bury, quitting the guard of honour for a moment, cantered up on horse back and dismounted to receive the first prize which he had gained in the Albert competition, and then returned at once to his post. Mr. E. Ross is never content with a single place in the prize -list ;he made no less than three appearances in front of the mar quee. The China Challenge Cup, value £525, has not reached this country yet, and could not there fore be delivered to the Staffordshire battalion ; but, judging from the specimen of Chinese work already in the hands of one Volunteer corps, when it does arrive it will be, perhaps, the richest trophy in the gift of the Association. Colonel Lindsay, of the St. George's Corps, to whom belongs the credit of providing a popular and productive prize competition, came forward as usual to place in the hands of the Association the proceeds of the entries, handing over this year a purse containing 177 dragon sovereigns." The last of the prize win ners, as already stated, was Private Angus Came ron, an active little Highlander, aged 19, who re ceived with capital bearing and self-composure the gift and congratulations of the Princess, to which were added the coral cheering of the spec tators and a hearty and fatherly reception by Cap tain Horatio Ross on the part of his fellow-country men. The d;stribution of prizes e n d e d , th e spectators, at the invitation of Lord Elcho, united in cheering the Princess of Wales I%ith unmistakable earnest ness and satisfaction. Loud cheers were also given for the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, for Lord Elcho himself, and, finally, for the Queen. Mounting their carriages, the royal party drove to the Cottage, where, for about an hour, they re mained the guests of Lord Spencer and Lord Elcho, while the preparations for the review were going forward. Before the prizes had been all conferred the com mon presented a scene of much animation. Not merely was there i gathering inside the enclosure at eves y point where it might be supposed that a favour able view of the proceedings could be obtained, but cavalry, artillery, and infantry were actually march ing over the plain before the Royal party quitted the marquee. It was necessarily late before the review commenced. The brigades were formed up much in the order of their arrival, so that a very accurate list was not obtainable. The names, how ever, of the different regiments have already been published, and the total force present was estimated at about 7,000. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief, arrived shortly after 6 o'clock, and was accompanied by Genera Sir Hope Grant, Major-General Lord W. Paulet, Major-General Sir David Russell, C. 8., Colonel Tyrwhitt, Colonel Erskine, Inspector-General of Volunteers ; Colonel Wright, Metropolitan Inspec tor, and Staff. Lord Cardigan, Colonel M'Murdo, vnd other officers were also on the ground. Lord Elcho, Lord Ranelagh, Lord Bury, Lieutenant- Colonel M'Leod of M'Leod, Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. C. H. Lindsay, the Marquis of Done gan, Lord Grosvenor, and Lieutenant-Colonel Bigge acted as brigadiers, and no time was lost in commencing operations, firing having begun some time before the last of the corps toofk theup the position assigned to it. The plan operations differed from that adoptedonforer occasions, the volunteers acting as a single force instead of in opposing divisions. The ground was kept on this occasion by a squadron of cavalry, and the mounted police , under Superintendent Brett, being thus reinforced there was none of that crowding forward of spectators, interfering so sadly with the evolutions, and spoiling the effect of the really admirable review ground at Wimbledon.

The supply of foreign stock on sale here to-day was ex tensive, and in fair average condition. The demand ruled steady, and prices wore well supported. From our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland and Scotland, the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were only mode rate, both as to number and quality. Prime breeds moved off freely at prices fully equal to Monday last. Otherwise, the trade was very inactive at late rates. The best Scots and crosses sold at ss. Gd. to ss. Bd. per 81b. The supply from Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire was about 1,000 shorthorns ; from Norfolk 200 Scots and crosses ; from other parts of England, 200 various breeds ; from Scot land 48 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 50 oxen, cows, and heifers. Towards the close of business some very superior beasts realized ss. 10d. and Gs. per 81b. There was a fair average supply of sheep in the pens, but the quality of each breed was only middling. Downs, half-breeds, &c., moved off freely at very full prices, Otherwise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Lambs were in moderate supply, and in fair request at full prices—viz., from Gs. Bd. to Bs. per 81b. Calves commanded more attention on rather higher terms. Top price ss. 4d. per 81b.

CURIOUS CHARGE OF ASSACLT ON A SPANIARD.--JOhn Walters, printer, and Emily Lonsdale, an unfortunate, residing at No. 7, Macclesfield-street, Soho, were charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting a Spanish gentleman named Jose Martin Gilliaen, residing at the Spanish Hotel, Golden-square. Mr. Edward Dillon Lewis, of Great Marlborough-stree appeared for the prisoners. The prosecutor, through an interpreter, said—Yester day, after being out for a walk, I was in Macclesfield-street, when the male prisoner spoke to me and pretended to know me, and abused me, and I then pushed him back, when he assaulted me. Mr. Knox—He says nothing about the woman. Who gave her in charge ? Mr. Lewis—l can perhaps explain that. lam instructed that she told the police that she assaulted the prosecutor and not the male prisoner, and that she was also taken into custody. The Prosecutor—The woman never assaulted me. Mr. Knox—Then if there is no charge against the woman she is discharged. Langham, 108 C.—A little after one this morning I was on duty in King-street, Soho, when 1 met the pro secutor with his wrist cut open and bleeding. He led me to No. 7, Macclesfield-street, and made motions that he had been assaulted, then I knocked at the door and was answered by a female. I asked if the gentleman had been in the house, and she said he had. I was admitted and went upstairs, and Lonsdale said that it was her who had struck the prosecutor, but that he had struck her first. Mr. Knox—ls it a house known to the police? Constable—lt is, sir. Mr. Knox—Were there any other marks of violence on the prosecutor besides the cut on the wrist ? Constable—No, sir. The female said she did it with a china ornament because the prosecutor struck her. Mr. Knox ordered the female (Lansdale) to be called on as a witness, and she said, while at the Cafe Riche last night with the prosecutor and others, she saw the prosecutor strike a gentleman on the head and knock him down. We afterwards went to a public-house in Long-acre, where we had three bottles of wine, and the prosecutor had be sides three drops of brandy. After being there the prose cutor, who was very excited, struck a cab-horse with his stick, and when at the house in Macclesfield-street the prosecutor made such a noiso by jumping about the room over the prisoner's head that the prisoner was obliged to come up and tell him to keep quiet. The pro secutor then threw the prisoner out of the room, and struck and kicked him. The prosecutor afterwards struck and kicked her, and she took the ornament off the chimney piece and struck him in the arm with it. Mr. Lewis—l am prepared to show that "Walters has been ill for some time, and not in a condition to assault the pro secutor. Mr. Knox— After what I have heard, I shall discharge Walters. THAMES. WOUNDING.—Bridget Fitzgerald, a masculine woman, who has given the magistracy and police a good deal of trouble, was brought Mr. Paget charged with violently assaulting Isabella Quin, whose head was bandaged. The two women met in a public-house, called the East India Arms, High-street, Poplar, and quarrelled. The complainant reproached the prisoner with reporting that she had lost all her hair. The prisoner called the com plainant a fearful name, and took up a large drinking-glass with which she struck the complainant a severe blow on the forehead which felled her to the ground. A severe wound was inflicted, and complainant lost a large quantity of blood. The glass was broken in many pieces by the force of the blow. The potman of the public house and another witness confirmed the statement of the complainant. Mr. Paget said he was determined to repress by every means in his power the use of unlawful weapons among the loose women in the district, The prisoner had com mitted a very savage assault, and one attended with great danger on th e complainant, whose eyes very narrowly escapedserious inj ury. He sentenced the prisoner to im prisonment and h ar d labour in the House of Correction for fou r ca l en d ar months. The prisoner, on hearing the sentence, said she could do it on her head, she would serve the complainant ten times worse when her i mprisonment expired, and would be amply revenged. ASSAULT ON TIIE POLlCE.—Robert Braxton and William Bush, labourers, were charged with assaulting John Cussy, a poli ce - constable. The compl a i nant was called to suppress a disturbance in High-street, W apping: Braxton and another man were fighting. Cu ssy told them to go away. Braxton imme diately attacked hi m, threw him on his back, and kicked him. He also t ore tho policeman's pocket off. Cussy drew his staff and struck Braxton on the head with it. Bush and others got him away from the constable. A few days afterwards Cussy and other constables found the prisoners and 11 or 12 others assembled in the same place. They formed a line across the street and pelted the police constables with stones. The policemen charged the pri soners and their companions with their truncheons and dispersed them, wounding several. The prisoners were afterwards secured. Their conduct was described by several witnesses as savage and cowardly. The prisoners were sentenced to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE —(This Day.)

From the manufacturing districts the a ccoun t s for the past week have, in most instances, b een very gloomy. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver hampton the late bank suspension, together with the advices from America, has caused a very de pressing effect upon all branches of busi ness ; b o th cloths and yarns at Mancheste r h ave given way owing to discouraging accounts from th e E ast, an d the few orders executed have been at a reduction in prices, while the hosiery and lace trade at L e i ces ter and Nottingham have remained exceedingly dull, with a downward tendency in prices. the first instance line wasformed at the Wimbledon side of the common, but, to repulse a supposed flank attack, front was changed, and the entire force brought to the crest of the valley, separating the level common from the ridge, on the crest of which most of the rifle butts are erected. A very smart artillery fire was here maintained, extremely credit able to those corps engaged (the Hon. Artillery, 2d Surrey Battery, Ist Middlesex Brigade, and Ist London Artillery) ; and next, one of the most pic turesque movements of the day, the London Scot tish, 3d London, and Engineers, drove an imaginary line of skirmishers from the butts. Heavy and well sustained firing from the Ist City of London and the Artillery closed the movements at this point. A general retreat across the common was ordered, and by this means a proper disposition of the regiments was effected, and the march past commenced. During the evolutions the Princess of Wales, accom panied by the Duke of Edinburgh, Lady C. Gros venor, and Lady Spencer, had been driving about through the ranks in an open carriage. The Prince of Wales meanwhile had laid aside his civilian costume, worn at the earlier ceremony, and appeared on horseback, with the Commander-in- Chief, i n th e uniform of his military rank. The royal pa r t y h av i ng taken their places at the flag staff, the march past was steadily performed, and more than the usual cordiality of cheering was accorded to Lord Elcho and the London Scottish, and likewise to the London Irish. Other favourite corps were noticed with approval, but in the case of the two former there appeared to be a special warmth of reception. It is to be regretted that officers on these occa sions do not always take the trouble necessary to preserVe the proper distances between their com panies, which would add so much to the appearance of their regiments, but this, of course, wherever it could be complained of, is not a failing peculiar to the Wimbledon Review. The royal party remained to dinner at The Cot tage, and at 10 o'clock a display of fireworks, includ ng the now celebrated Jennison balloon, was made ,n their honour. The Constitution of the United States. Though we have seen what extraordinary powers a President can assume, yet in theory his authority is by no means equal to that of a monarch of these realms. He is Commander-in-Chief of the land and naval forces, but the States Militia only comes under his control when the Union has need of their services. He can pardon all Offences except the abuse of authority, which very properly the Senate withholds, otherwise the chief of the nation might incite this abuse in his own interest, and shield the delinquents by the exercise of his authority. Posts can only be filled by him with the sanction of the Senate, but Congress may expressly delegate to him the power of filling all minor appointments. With the assent of two-thirds of the Senators he can con clude treaties, name Ambassadors, Ministers, Con suls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other functionaries not provided by the Constitution ; and he can also fill vacancies which may occur between the Sessions, to be held to the end of the ensuing term. In case of dispute in Congress on the ques tion of adjournment, the President can fix the time, and he can, when an emergency arises, convoke either or both the Chambers for an extraordinary Session. He can disallow any bill passed by the Chambers, when the bill is returned with his remarks for further debate, but if then passed by a majority of two-thirds of both Chambers the bill becomes law without his sanction. The Constitution allows 10 days for his Veto, when, if no action be taken by him, the measure comes into force. He must re ceive all Ambassadors and Ministers, watch over the faithful execution of the laws, and deliver Commis sions to all functionaries of the United States. From time to time it is his duty to report fully to Congress the state of the nation, and the measures he con siders necessary to submit for discussion. No can. didate is eligible for President unless born a citizen of the United States, unless over 35 years of age, and unless a resident in the Union 14 years. The Chamber of Representatives only can arrest the President, and the Senate only dispose of the charge. The majority to convict him must be two thirds, and the only sentence that can be awarded is deprivation of office. The President then be comes a simple citizen of the Union, and amenable to the laws for the crime he has committed. The Constitution invests all legislative power in Congress, composed of the Senate and Chamber of Representatives. The former consists of two Senators from each State, elected by each State for a period of six years. These elections are so managed that one-third arrive at the end of their term every two years. The number of two for each State is fixed without regard to its size, wealth, or population. They are elected by the Legisla tures of each State, and are only qualified when 30 years of age, nine years citizens of the United States, and inhabitants of the States to be repre sented. The Vice-President of the Republic pre sides, and has the power to g i ve a cast i ng vote, b ut takes no part in the debates. The Representatives are elected for two years by all male citizens over 21 years of age. They must be over 25 years of age, seven years citizens of the Union, and inhabi tants of the States for which they are returned. The number for each State is in proportion to its inhabitants, and to prevent the indefinite increase of the Chamber, as the population increases the number authorised to return a Representative is increased also. At present that number is fixed at 30,000 souls, but each State has a right to at least one Representative. The census is taken every 10 years. Congress must assemble at least once every year, and the Constitution names the first Monday in December for opening the Chambers. To change this day requires a special law. During the Session the members are inviolable, except in the case o high treason. The Representatives have the ex elusive right of voting the imposts, but the Senate can amend these bills. The Representatives choose their own President, who takes part in the debates. Both Chambers sit in public. When a disagree- ment occurs between them on any bill, the subjec is referred to a Committee named by each Neither Chamber can adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the other, nor move from the locality where Congress is held. The Judicial Power belongs to the different Courts created by the Constitution, as exclusively as the Legislative Power belongs to Congress, and the Executive Power belongs to the President. A Su- preme Court presides, consisting of one Chief Judge and eight Assistant Judges, of whom five suffice to give validity to its deliberations. It holds a Court each year at the seat of Government, adjourning on the day the Constitution names for the assembly of Congress. Tjae judges are named by the Presi dent with the consent of the Senate, they receive a fixed salary, and hold office during good be haviour. The powers of the Supreme Court are of two kinds. It possesses exclusive jurisdiction in all civil cases where the State is plaintiff, and affecting International interests, and it possesses a pow er on appeal which places it above all other t r ibunals of the Republic, whose judgment it c an in certain cases reverse and set aside. But what is really remarkable is its power of de claring an Act emanating from Congress, or from the Legislature of a State of the Union, null and void. It has, therefore, the power of testing the legality of Acts, by the Supreme Law of the Con stitution, and on discovering such Acts to be re pugnant to the spirit of the. Constitution, of setting ngress. B ot h th es e Acts aside. For instance , Congress has passed a Reconstruction Bill, the Pr esident withheld his sanc ti o n, and sent the Act back to C o Chambers passed the bill by the legal majo r it y of ef a two-thirds, and that bill intoh asco meforce a s ysateinin which th a t the Sup reme lawlaN law. But the operative Gmo Governor rn testor o its legality u Court, and if the J d , u Judges of that , Court hold spirit of the Constitution that the is violat it will be their duty to , ed- by that law Act to be null and ' set it aside, declaring the void.—An 1 A 9 0 - merican Times. Business in the Corn Market has been very inac tive, and, in consequence of the fine weather and considerable foreign importations, both home grown and foreign wheat have declined 2s. to 3s. per quarter. SPORTING NOTES. The racing meetings of last week were but a re petition of the in-and-out running of certain horses, which has been the chief feature of interest at these small meetings for the last three weeks. To get money out of horses now seems to be the order of the day. Poor Gladiateur seems to have caught another cold, as I said three or four weeks ago he would, on the eve of fulfilling his second Goodwood Cup engagement. From 6t04 on him at one time, 3 to 1 is now currently offered that he does not face the judge. However, whether Gladiateur runs or not, I consider that he will be defeated on his merits, by whichever Baron Rothschild trusts, viz., Tourmalin or Janitor. There is no horse in Eng, land that will give Janitor 101 b and a beating. If the Derby had been a quarter of a mile farther Janitor would have walked in by himself. The next best in my opinion is The Duke. The races of this week will only be a repetition of the " milking" that has taken place for the last three or four weeks, and those who wish to invest had better let them alone until the Goodwood meeting, when I have no doubt I will be able to clear up the mystery which at present overhangs the intentions of trainers and owners with regard to the several important events to be decided at the Ducal Meeting.

A Paris correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette heads a letter " Horse a la Mode," giving an ac count of a shop just opened for the sale of horse flesh. The joints did not look inviting, but a brisk trade seemed to be going on. The price ranged from sd. for prime parts, to 2d. per pound. The r people looked with su s p icion on the joints display e d for sale, and prej udice has had to b e overcome by i a s oh t promote thea introduction n food. of rs a free distribu tion at first, at th e expense of th e The es tablishment has the san c ti on of the Authorities, and the animals are subjected t o G overnment inspection. The opening of the shop was celebrated by a dinner, at which 182 persons partook. The fare com prised horse soup, sausages of horse, sirloins, horse ala mode, ragout, roast filet, salad dressed with horse oil. Several distinguished members discussed this dainty fare, ,appropriate toasts were drank, and songs in praise of the horse were sung during the evening, If horse-flesh really possesses the nutritious qualities to ascribed which it, we see no reason to doubt, the movement is one of great practical utility, and the sooner we divest ourselves of the prejudice and take kindly to the new joi • • nts the better. It is clear if something be not •'- quic,ly substituted for beef and mutton some of us will have to go without animal food, as the price is becoming prohibitory. We suppose donkies and mules will vary the enter tainment, and no doubt cats in an undisguised form will soon be exhibited for sale, trussed for roasting. [ - ADVERTISEMENT.
