MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL t.I. , iTELLIGE VITA, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Gold is still arriving in large quantities from Australia and other sources of supply, and it is ac cumulating at the Bank because the export demand for the metal, as also for silver, is unusually small. Nor does there appear to be any contingency likely to reverse this state of affairs for some time to come. The balance of trade is in favour of this country, the exchanges are almost stationary, and in the principal money markets of Europe the rates for discount are almost uniform, the average lowest quotations being as follows :—Loudon, 21 ; Paris, 2 ; Frankfort., 21. ; Hamburg, 21 ; Berlin, 2.1 ; Amsterdam, 2i ; and Brussels, 2i per cent. It will be seen that the differences are so Blight as to render the transmission of bullion to the Continent an unprofitable operation. In the Discount Market to-day there is no per ceptible change beyond a slight increase in the de mand in connection with the settlement in foreign bonds and the various classes of shares, but the effect of this will be of a transient character. The inquiry, though a little larger, is still very moderate, and the terms for accommodation are as easy as ever. With reference to the Venezuela Loan of 1864 the General Credit and Discount Company Limited, have given notice that against the half year's interest (at the rate of £3 per cent.) due Ist April, 1 867, on the bonds of the above loan, a part Payment out of the funds in hand at the rate of £2 . 7 8. 6d. per cent., will be made on and after Tuesday, 23d April (Saturdays excepted), at the temporary offices of the company, 27, Austinfriars. The Red Jacket, from Australia, has brought £ 6 6,000 in gold. An influx of £lOl,OOO in gold took place at the Bank of England yesterday, together with an efflux of American eagles to the amount of £l,OOO. The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the third week in March amounted to $116,134, against $93,762 in the cor responding period last ear showin an increase of $22,372 . y g In the report of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance, to be p resente d at the meeting on the 30th i nstant, the directors congratulate the pro prietors on the successful completion of the con tracts take n d uring the past year, and in addi tion nto the 600 miles of submarine cables laid down by the company they h ave d ur i ng theyear manufactured and submerged 2,167 miles of cable. After reserving the sum of £lO,OOO for maintenance of the Malta and Alexandria Tele graph there remains a balance of profit of £122,426 Os. 5d., ct from which is d e d ue d the sum of ent £13,213 125., the interim di v id en d o f 2 f per ' C . paid t o the proprietors to June 30th, 1866, leaving the sum of £109,212 Bs. sd. for disposal, which the directors propose to appropriate as follows :—To pay to the pro prietors the balance of interest on capital at 5 per "at) £15,246 155., and a further dividend at 5 per cent, per annum Cent £30,529 10 s ., ma ki ng up 10 per . Crpe annum (f ree of income-tax), and out of the reserved fund a sum of £35,328 19s. 4d., which will at once increase that fund to the maximum amount of £50,000 mentioned in Article 8 of the articles of association, and to carry £28,089 4s. ld. to next year's profit and loss account. t he Foreign and Colo n i a l P ro d uce M ar k ets du i r ing the l as t f ew days there has been very little an mation. Th e operat i ons on tea having been postponed until the public sales, which commence to-day Sugar has retrained without any material alteration iu value, while superior qualities of coffee have maintained full rates. Tallow has been neglected, and quotations for present and forward delivery are a shade lower. At the adjourned meeting, held to-day, of the Oriental Mutual Steam Company the report and Statement of accounts for the year ending the 30th September, 1866, was .submitted. It was stated that the gross receipts of the steamers, exclusive of the v oyages made on the river Jhelum, amount to £54,350 17s. Y ear 5 d., against £37,651 115,9 d. in th e 1864-5, giving an increase of £16,699 58. Bd.; w hile the net receipts, after deducting .all working Charges are £4,117 17 s. 9d. in excess of those of bprePreceding y ear, leaving, instead of a loss, a account on the 30th September last. At th e meeting held to-day of the Agra Bank the report of the directors vas submitted and adopted by the shareholders. As usual Two O'CLOCK. after , a steady and subst an ti a l a d vance to p r ices, sale s o f C onsols have been slightly pressed 12-daYI c ausing a tenden c y t owards reaction. Several speculator s , who bought when quotations were lower, have closed their engagements to secure the profits within their grasp, but the effect of th e ', es little movements, after all, h as b een of importance, and the market, supported as it is by bona fide investments, confidence in home policies and diminished apprehension both as regards the Luxembourg affair and the Spanish difficulty, is very firm. Nevertheless Consols, at the present moment, are 1 lower than they were last evening, 'viz., 911 for transfer as - well as for the account.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. ,Before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justices Shea, Blackburn, and Lush.) GREEN T. WALKER. In this case Mr. F. Pollock, Q.C., asked for a rule for a new trial, on the part of the rector of Lower Tooting. H e stated that it was a case which had been heard before Mr. Justice Shoe in Middlesex, when a verdict was found for the defendant. The sum to be recovered was 30 guineas, and it was incurred in the interest of Miss Ambrook, a lady who had been buried, under unusual circumstances, in the Lower Tooting graveyard. On the part of the plaintiff it was alleged that this sum of 30 guineas was the correct amount of foes duo for the interment of Miss Ambrook, on the ground that there was no legal right to bring it in without the consent of the rector; and the fact that they had asked permission if the rector should assent or consent on their part to pai or on the part of the executors the customary burial fee. The Lord Chief-Justice asked whether there was as sent or consent on the part of the executors, and if they had demanded permission it would show that there had boon assent on their part. Mr. Pollo_k said such was the case, and the Court granted leave to move for a new trial. The business in the other courts was devoid of public interest. In the Court of Exchequer their lordships were occupied with a question relative to the right of taking salmon. In the Court of Common Pleas the question be fore the Court related to the acceptance of a bill of ex change ; and in the Court of Probate the Judge Ordinary was occupied the whole of the day in disposing of motions relating to probate, and the mode of trial of certain divorce Cases.

EXECUTION (THIS DA'r).---This morning, James Longburst was publicly executed at Horsemonger lane Gaol, for the wilful murder of Jane Sax, a child aged six years. The culprit, who was scarcely 20 yeariof age, was tried and found guilty of the capital offence at the last Kingston assizes. The only education ho bad was that which ho acquired during the time he was in prison, to which he was first committed in June last. The length of the imprisonment is accounted for by the postponement of his trial at the last summer assizes. M. Edward Blacque, formerly Ottoman Consul- General at Naples, has been appointed Ottoman Minister lie,t4ideLit at Wtt;:4hington. THE SUN, LUNIJON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, 1P67.

If in the selection of the'site for the erection of the Crys tal Palace at Sydenham one of the most elevated and com manding spots in the county of Surrey was sought to be attained as a justification for its removal from so great a distance from the metropolis, nothing can bo more appro priate to a building devoted to somewhat similar objects than that obtained for the Alexandra Palace at Muswell Hill, which is loss than half that distance from the very centre of the metropolitan population. Muswell Hill, on the highest pinnacle of which the Alexandra Palace may now be seen rising in its noble pro portions from all sides of the metropolitan county, is in all probability, with the exception of Harrow, the most lofty point of land in Middlesex, and without doubt it commands I possibly as extensive, if not the most extensive, at all events the most diversified views of town and country.of any spot in the kingdom; and when completed, a result which we are assured may speedily be looked forward to, the most mag nificent panorama of the vastest hive of in lustry and com merce which the world ever saw rill he opened to the sight from the extensive terraces and galleries of the Alexandra Palace. In combination with the panorama of the leviathan metropolis of the Empire, on the extreme south, the Surrey Hills, with the outline of the Crystal Palace and its water towers, on a clear fine day are brought prominently to view, whil s t t o the eastward may be o b serve d t h a t w hi c h it may be h ope d may i n a short time aga i n b e d es i gna t e d as the silvery Th ames, " meandering between the shores of Kent a n d E ssex, along which Shooter ' s Hill , E r i t h , an d as far as G ravesend and Sheerness, are at t i mes di s ti nct l y visible in its onward course to its outlet at the Nore into the German Ocean. Westward the heights of Highgate and of Hampstead somewhat impede an extensive view, in that direction, but passing more northwardly, by "Harrow on the Hill," the prominent points of the counties of Bucks and Berks, even extending to 'Windsor Castle, present themselves, whilst further northward and eastward extensive and pleasant views are obtained of the counties of Essex and Hertfordshire. So far as site then is con cerned, nothing can bo left to be desired beyond what has been attained for that which wo think we are correct in saying was originally designated as the " people's palace," but which, in compliment to the beloved consort of the Prince of Wales, has now been rechristened as the " Alex andra" Park and Palace at Muswell Hill. The project was originally inaugurated (and the writer of this notice per fectly well remembers being present at the splendid sum mer entertainment on the site where the " Alexandra " Palace now stands) by no less a personage and friend of the people than the venerable Lord Brougham. Many will remember who were present on that memorable occasion, no doubt, the practical and spirit-stirring address which that noble and venerable peer made on the advantages which these places of recreative instruction conferred upon the community at large—in the elevation of their minds in the moral and social scale, by bringing them at the same time in communion with all that is beautiful and sublime, whether in connection with works of art or works of nature. Nothing, it is believed, will more closely approach perfec tion in both these attributes than the Alexandra Palace and its site at Muswell Hill, when finally completed. So much for the site. The next points of importance are the proximity of such an establishment to the metropolis, and the facilities for reaching it. By the Great Northern Railway to Wood Green, the station on which Alexandra Park abuts, is but a little over a distance of four miles from King's-cross, and when the various lines in connection therewith form, as they will do by their platforms, part and part of the Palace station, the facilities for reaching the Alexandra Palace from all parts of the metropolis will prove unexceptionable ; and if travelling by road be preferred, then the spot is but an inconsiderable distance beyond the four mile radius at Hornsoy. As regards the building it self, after considerable mishaps and difficulties, and the failure of one or two companies, the matter has at last been taken up by a spirited body of individuals, and is being carried out by men of known wealth and practical expe rience, and the building itself is so rapidly approaching towards completion, that, if deemed advisable, it is in a position to enable it to be opened to the public in the course of the forthcoming summer. In the face, however, of the attractions of the Paris Exhibition this year, and other cir cumstances, we believe we are correct in stating that it is not contemplated that its actual inauguration shall take place till the spring of 1868, by which time it is believed the railways and all other accessories for convenient transit and comfort to the public will be in full working order. It may not be generally known that the skeleton of the building which will be hereafter handed to posterity as the "Alexandra" Palace has been erected from the materials of the late Exhibition of 1862 at South Kensington, the design of which by the late Captain Fowko, R.E., was the subject of so much criticism and controversy. The architects aro Messrs. Alfred Meeson and John Johnson, the former of whom was associated with the late Captain Fowko in car rying out the details of the 1.862 Exhibition building, and the contractors for its erection are the well-known firms of Messrs. Kelk and Lucas Brothers, who have a staff of workmen in the building and grounds running very little short, if any, of 1,000 men, exclusive of an immense num ber of other artisans employed in the workshops of the con tractors, and engaged in the preparation of the internal fit ting required for the edifice. The present design is a modi fication of the old building, but so added to and altered as almost entirely to obliterate its original architectural character, and to appropriate it to the new situation and purposes for which it is intended. The architectural order to which the Alexandra Palace belongs may be pro perly described as Italian, and its details are being carried out in a manner which will in all probability render it as a permanent structure one of the most noble edifices of its description in this country. As regards the plan of the building, it consists of a nave 900 feet long and 8 feet wide, with a central transept 430 feet long and 85 feet wide, and two smaller transepts, each 320 feet long and 80 feet wide, intersecting the nave at a short distance from either end of the building east and west. Over tho intersection of the nave and central transept is erected one of the great domes of 1862, which forms the central and grand summit of the building. This dome is 220 feet in height in the interior, and in diameter 170 feet. Much of the glass which existed in its construction at South Ken sington has been removed and substituted by solid roof, the interior of which will be, when finished, executed in highly decorated and ornamental panels, a subdued though fully sufficient light being admitted near the top of the dome, and by lunette windows round its sides. The shorter transepts at their intersection with the nave are surmounted by a pendentive octagon cupola, lighted by eight ornamen tal windows in the sides, finished by a bold enriched cor nice and panelled ceiling and pendant. Each end of the nave and the three transepts are terminated with large semicircularleaded windows, which when finally com pleted are to be filled with stained glass. On each side of the nave and transept buildings are erected about 50 feet wide and two stories high, having brick external walls, with arcaded openings and windows. Externally the ends of the nave and transepts present eight grand pendimented façades, flanked by supporting turrets, enclosing the large windows before described, and having handsome arcaded entrances. These façades are united by the walls of the lower buildings, two stories in height, and by the coleetory walls and roofs of the nave and transepts, and the whole is terminated by a bold and very effective brick and cement cornice, and by exceedingly ornamental parapets. The general character of the architecture of the entire building externally is Italian, and consists principally of brickwork in two colours, viz., white or yellowish white bricks for the mass, with red brick arc h es an d P or tl an d cement dressings . . . . in imitation of stone. The white bricks, it is stated, are manu factured in the adjacent county of llertfordshire, and aro considered to be of a very superior description, in fact not inferior to Suffolk bricks, whilst the red bricks are produced from the clay, and are made on ground in close vicinity to the palace, and are also considered of a very superior quality. The roofs are covered with " Duchess" slating, laid on two-inch boards and asphalted felt, and zinc nails are used throughout the slating. Above the roofs and from the centre of the building is a bold, twelve-sided tambour, pierced with windows, and surmounted with a cornice and , when co m pl e t e d , w i l . entablature. From this spring the b ase of the great cen tral dome, which is terminated at the t op b y a balustraded rise pttr a parapet, from mrthmeacset to centre of h which dome is covered with 3luntz's brass-coloured metal, laid on with a lap and tongue in a peculiar manner, and panelled in relief by moulded ribs. The octagon cupolas forming the summit of the building at the intersection of the smaller transepts and nave also show above the roof noble tambours with entablature and cornice, and an Italian roof covered with zinc in rolls, and terminating with an ornamental final and spire, which, when finished, will bo gilt. The building is surrounded on all sides, and approached b y magnificent terraces, which, in addition to the artistic t as t e w i t h w hi c h , t-a Vr d h v e a n n finis hed, ofstatelyeedin, at remain as e a r ey t ar e e p as of h t rot of btetleahgo naturalo id r o w u tt, already possess the hof many in atren t a ti en of years, and which the grounds of the park attached to the palace. Possibly the most noble terrace will be that on the northern side, which is 1,003 feet long and 100 feet wide ; and_which by means of being supported by Italian arcades will cover the railway station, from which access will be had direct to the build ing- This access will be obtained directly at the en d s o f the three transepts, and into which station, j u d g i ng from the prep ara ti ons a l rea dy in progress, it i s expected that nearly, if not every railway in London w ill , at no distant period, have trains running for the convenienceof visitors to the p a l ace . O n th e sou thern and wester n s id es t h ere will be a carria ge roa d wa y, with a covered carriage entrance, form ing at tho same time a conservatory at the we,tern end (Atha nave and communicating by an easy drive with the public road. This, then, may 1)0 taliou as a fair description of the architectural as well as general character of the Alexandra Palace externally ; but it lama be borne in mind that among others of the .important features connected with this gigantic undertaking the peculiar beauties of the park have to be brought into consideration, and also in connection therewith that which will be looked upon by a very l arge section of the community in all probability as the crowning advantage of this magnificent design, viz., that its slopes and terraces will command a perfect view of one of the fin est race courses in the kingdom. It will not be surpris ng in a few years to find that the doings of Epsom and Doncaster, of Brighton and of Goodwood, aro completely thrown into the shade by those of the Great Metropolitan Races of Alexandra Park; Proposing to make the interior of the Alexandra Palace, as well as the various details of its water supply, gas lighting, drainage, &c., the subject of further articles, wo will only at this moment generally glance at the fact that internally, so far as general appearances go, nothing will be wanting to ren der the establishment one of the most pleasurable and commodious for visitors that can possibly be imagined ; and that amongst the prominent features combined by the architects with others having that object in view is the construction, in the central transept, of a grand orchestra capable of containing 3,000 performers, and provide space under the central dome, and within good hearing distance, for comfortable accommodation of at least 20,000 visitors. A concert room, for smaller numbers, is contemplated in one, and a theatre in the other of the smaller transepts ; besides ample space provided for various amusements in other parts of the building and its grounds, as well as not forgetting that all-important desideratum—a well-con structed and equally well-supplied refreshment department. Such an enterprise is, without doubt, worthy of those who conceived it, and are rapidly carrying it out to completion; and it is only to bo hopod that those who have its conduct entrusted to them will prove themselves worthy, by the judicious character of their administration, of the noble enterprise entrusted to their keeping.—Obserrer.

VOLUNTEER CONTEST.—The second " Wemyss" match of the London Scottish Rifles for 1867 took place on Saturday last, against the St. George's corps, on the ranges of the latter, at Wormwood Scrubs. The match was be tween ton officers, ten non-commissioned officers, and ten privates of each regiment, se ven shots each, at 200, 500, and 600 yards, and was won by the London Scottish with a majority of 116 marks. The total scores were—London Scottish, 1,316; and St. George's, 1,200. The day was wet, and a strong head wind, with occasional gusts from the left, rendered the shooting at times very difficult. DUCHY OF LANCASTER. —The accounts of the Duchy of Lancaster show that in the year 1866 the pay ment to the Keeper of her Majesty's Privy Purse was £29,000, an increase of £3,090 over the payment of the previous year. The rents received amounted to £30,856, an increase of £4,500 over the receipt of 1865. This was partly counterbalanced by a receipt of less by £3,000 from wood isles and escheats; but, on the other side of the account, the payment for the restoration of the Savoy Chapel, which was £4,453 in 1865, was only £829 in 1866. The salaries and other disbursements of an ordinary cha racter amounted to £13,211, not differing materially from the charge in 1865. The chief receipt on the capital ac count was £4,481 from the corporation of Salford for the purchase of the tolls of the markets and fairs of that borough.
