MONEYMARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCI, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There continues to be a fair demand for accom modation in the general discount market, and the rates remain firm at 3 per cent., with exceptional transactions in superior paper at a shade under. On Saturday there was a withdrawal £3,000 in gold from the Bank of England. The Deutchland, from New York, has brought ab out £37,000 in specie ; and the Syria, from Alexandria, about £4,500. In the Corn Market to-day there was a rather large attendance, and a good demand prevailed for home-grown wheat at fully last Monday's quota tions. Foreign wheat, owing to limited supplies en hand and the prospect of short arrivals for the mxt three months, has been in more request, at an advance of 2s. per quarter. About 90,000 quarters h ave changed hands during the week, and about 10 0,000 quarters are on passage shipping and to be shipped up to July next. 'rho accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week show that business iu several de partments bas been more animated. At Man chester considerable excitement has prevailed in the cotton market, and spinners and manufacturers demand enhanced rates for cloths and yarns. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been little change of Importance, but a better inquiry has prevailed for autumn and winter goods. The hosiery and lace trades of Leicester and Nottingham have been sea sonably active ; but in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolirerhampton, there has been little change of importance. Atlantic and Great Western _ Railway Debentures have declined k, to 31 32 ; but the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds remain steady at 21 22.

If the contemplated arrangements are carried out his Majesty the King of the Belgians has to-day inaugurated the commencement of the operations of the Belgian Public Works Company. This event is invested with considerable interest, the project involving an outlay of £3,000,000. Two o'CLocK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 68f. 35c.

June 9l} / THE REFORM MEETING IN HYDE P ARK. THIS D.Y. The excitement caused by the proposed meeting this afternoon in Hyde Park under the auspices of the Reform League, in defiance of the expressed determination of the Government not to allow the park to be used for such a purpose, has somewhat subsided in consequence of its being semi-officially announced that no active steps will be taken on the part of the authorities unless an attempt is made to erect platforms for the accommodation of the speakers at the meeting. The Secretary of State has, we believe, agreed to allow audiences to be collected in any number, but nothing further will be permitted. The attendance of the public to-day in the early part of the morning in Hyde-park was as gay as the weather was brilliant, Rotten-row was crowded with the cream of the aristocracy, and nothing was at all apparent that would give any indication of the scene, the, park will present between six and seven o'clOgic this evening. Thenumber of special constables sworn in to-day in different parts of the metropolis has been very great. At one o'clock t3-day not less than be tween 14,000 and 15,000 persons had taken the oath to assist in preserving the public peace. As they were sworn they, in most instances, were formed in companies of six, when a sergeant was appointed and a district appointed to each. Th e nroccedings were conducted with the utmost good humour, the great majority of the newly ap pointed officials looking upon the matter as a capital bit of fun. MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE OF THE REFORM LEAGUE. A meeting of the executive committee was held this morning at the offices of the League, Adelphi terrace. The whole of the executive committee were present, and also deputations from Birmingham, Portsmouth, &c. The O'Donoughue, M.P., P. A. Taylor, M.P., Thomas Hughes, Esq., M.P., and Mr. Whalley, M.P., and several members of the general council were also present. The representatives of the press were not ad mitted, but they were furnished with the following account of the proceedings : " A long discussion followed in reference to the Government prohibition of the meeting after the opinions expressed by the law officer:3 of the Crown. " The following resolution was carried unani mously : " That it is the desire of the Executive Com mittee that their friends abstain from holding any meetings except those appointed by the Executive. It is also desirable that the speakers should abstain from any unnecessarily exultant reference to the conduct and position of the Government with re gard to the Hyde-park question.'" THE RESOLUTIONS TO BE PROPOSED THIS EVENING IN THE PARK. The following is the resolution prepared by the League for adoption by the meeting in the park this evening : " That this meeting, whilst still adhering to resi dential and registered manhood suffrage, protected by the ballot as the only really efficient means of reform in the representation of the people, hails with satisfaction the withdrawal last Thursday even ing of Lord Grosvenor's proposed amendment, and the majority of 81 on the same evening against the two years' residential clause in the Government bill, and earnestly calls upon the Houso of Com mons to make that bill a more full and honest means for the extension of the franchise by expunging from it the rate-paying clauses, equalising the borough and county franchises on the principle of household suffrage, and intro ducing a provision for giving the vote to lodgers, or else to reject the bill altogether." It was also arranged at the final meeting of the League prior to the meeting that the meeting should commence at the sound of the trumpet ; and at the conclusion of the meeting around No. 1 platform the trumpet will again sound, when the Council of the League hope the whole of the other meetings will conclude and quietly disperse. The great points of rendezvous will be Clerk-en well-green, Kennington, Russell-square, and Tra falgar-square. The Council will quit the offices of the League about 5 o'clock, and proceed in the most unostentatious manner to Hyde-Park. The Cler kenwellers, however, having engaged a band three weeks ago, have made up their minds to avail them selves of the music as far as Regent-circus, at which point the band will cease playing, and the north entrance section will proceed to the place of meeting in accordance with the directions of the League. Ti*. .BISHOP OF LONDON'S Furs.—Yesterday evening there was a special service in the large open space under the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, and a collection on behalf of the fund which the Bishop of London has es tablished for the spiritual destitution in his diocese. Tho sermon was preached by the Bishop of Ripon. VIRCRItIA WATER.—The well-known Chinese fishing temple at Virginia Water having become de cayed, it will be replaced by another building, designed like a Swiss chalet, which will give increased accommo dation when required by the royal family. It is to bo completed by the autumn; The Sunday Gazette states that the object of the meeting of Lord Derby's supporters summoned for to day is to give a full explanation of the course the Go vernment have made up their minds to adopt with re gard to the amendments proposed or threatened to the Reform Bill. It is thought most probable that the lodger franchise scheme will not be opposed, but it is said to be now unlikely that the united Cabinet will agree to Mr. Hibbert's amendment or abandon Mr. Disraeli's last pro posal to abolish invidious distinctions between one class of compound householders and another by the repeal of the third clause of Sir William Clay's Act. The & t icky Gazette believes that the Liberal party will unanimously resist this step, and that the consequence will be the fall of the Ministry or a dissolution of the pre sent "louse of Commons. ---- THE TooMER CASE.—On Saturday morning Mr. Ferry, the governor of the County House of Correction at Reading, in which `roomer has been confined since his trial at Abingdon last year, received a post letter from the I-Tome-office ordering r'oomer's release, her Majesty having granted him a free pardon for the critno of which he stood convi cted. The contents of the letter were immediately conveye d to Tootner, who app eare d much pleased that the de mand he had made throu gh his friends for a free pardon ha d been acceded to. Ile quitt e d the gaol durihg the morning. TRUE BRITISH INSTINCTS. —A white bear got loose from a menagerie the other day at Nottingham, and strayed into a field where some labourers wore at work. They looked at the strange animal, thought it looked dan gerous, and went off to call the police, the richest illustra tion of true British instinct we have recently had. If Satan were to appear to an average Englishman, he would firs call a constable, then write to the Times, and then escribe his visitor at a public meeting.—gpectator Railways. tsruitoi Mull kixeter .. • • Caledonian tlatnbrlan fork and .8and0n......

MARK-LANE. ' The country markets hold on Saturday were very quiet for wheat. In prices scarcely any change took place. There was a fair average business doing in spring corn and flour, at full quotations. The continental markets con tinue very firm for all kinds of produce. In America very Effie business is doing on English account. The imports of foreign and colonial produce into London last week were 43,690 quarters of wheat, 8,766 barley, 99,911 oats, 2,520 beans, 144 peas, 505 tares, 8,229 linseed, 25,859 rape seed, 5,051 maize, and 1,900 sacks of flour. The supply of English wheat fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was very limited, but in fair aver age condition. Owing in some measure to the prevailing fine \leather, and the favourable accounts at hand respect ing the growing crepe, thl doatand for both red and white qualities was in a sluggish state at abiut last Monday's prices.

Sales progressed heavily, at a serious fall in the quotations. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were again on the increase, and in prime condition. Although there was about an average number of buyers in attendance, all breeds of beasts met an unusually heavy sale, at a decline in the quotations compared with Monday last of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, EiSOX, and Cambridgeshire we received about 2,000 Scots, short horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds; and from Scotland, 174 Scots and crosses. There were no arrivals reported from Ireland. We were rather heavily supplied with most breeds of sheep, and their general quality was good. The mutton trade was in a most depressed state, and prices gave way quite 2d to 4d per filbs. The best old Downs and half breds, in the wool, sold with difficulty at 5s 6d to 55 8d ; out of the wool, 4s Gd to 4s 8d per 81bs. Lambs were in full average supply, and fair request, at late rates, viz., from 7s to 8s per Sibs. Tho show of calves being erteosive, the veal trade was heavy, at 2d to 4d per 81bs beneath last week's quotations.

SPORTING NOTES. One of the great meetings of the season has been brought to a successful issue during the past week, and " Te Deum Laudamus" under particularly fine weather, occasional showers excepted, in comparison with some of the wretched days we had to go through in April. The last of that month, however, on which day Chester races com menced, was, although ushered in with plenty of wet i❑ the morn - hg, a m )st age3eable ono throughout the after tool]. The usual " swells" put in an appearance, and at intervals throughout the week a perfect galaxy of beauty made the fair sex conspicuous on the Grand Stand, and the cynosure of all eyes. The first day's racing, has no spacial feature of interest to comment upon. Nfoulsey Showei himself in his best form by beating Re itt in a canter for the Grosvenor S takes whilst Gooj Hat and Lady Highthorn ran up to the trials they had previously nail in public, the first winning the Wynn:stay Handicap, and the othet the Mostyu Stakes. The filly by Parmesan out of Archeress, now called Parma, won the Eaton Plate, thereby upsetting a great pot on Sycee. Rai Riband had no difficulty in settling the pretensions of Arundel for the Chesterfield Stakes. The attendance on the Cup day was fully equal to the usual average, and never did it take place when the weather was more auspicious. It is true Beeswing beat her twenty opponents with consum mate ease, but I question if the skritrunage which took place, in which Gritnshaw's stirrup leather was broken, did not materially alter the result-- . --indeed, if Moulsey, who ran fifth as it was, could have got the dis tance, ho must have won, and as the old horse never was in finer form, I think he would, from his after running, have done so. Lecturer, who was very little better favourite than Lord Bateman's horse, is not the " clinker" he was supposed ; and llama, who never appeared dan gerous in the race, did not run up to his last year's form. The running of Miss Havelock was too bad to be true —in deed, from the style in she landed her Majesty's Guineas on Thursday, there is vary little doubt, with such a jockey as Kenyon in the saddle, whose services I believe Mr. Woad might have obtained, she must have been very ' near, if not thd absolute winner. Lucifer was beat a long way, but the horse had evidently not been half prepared, and later in the season, at Ascot or Goodwood, to wit, will very likely be heard of to greater advantage. In the Dee Stakes Van Aniburgh, by beating The Rescue in a canter, proved himself a good outsider for the Derby, and was backed accordingly. There was no other event of much interest during the meeting, and I must now turn my attention to the engagements of the week, which will divide the north and south divi sion of trainers and bookmakers most effectually. The Ascot SPRING Meeting commences on Tuesday, but it is generally understood that it will not be continued, her Majesty being opposed to it, after the present season. The second year of the First Spring Biennial Stakes has KNIGIIT OF TILE GARTER and Friponnier engaged, and I give the preference to the first named. In the Brabant Stakes CONUNDRUM and MONITRESS appear best in. For the Grand Stand Plate I fancy Limon or Baron Roths chill's representative. On Wednesday the. South-Western Railway Plate will be won by SWEET ROME, whilst VEDA ought to give a good account of herself in the Sunning Hill Stakes. The unfortunate clashing of Ascot with York Spring Meeting will doubtless do a considerable injury to the Knavesmire attendance, and later on in the week Doncaster must suffer from the Salisbury races taking place on the same days. On the first day I see nothing to beat ARCHIMEDES unless he should be reserved for the Great Northern Handicap, for which, however, he is no fancy of mine ; indeed, my voting must be for BRACKEN. Hav ing had the pleasure of inspecting VzscouNT when a yearling, should he be sent for tha Zetlaud Stakes I have no hesitation in saying he will strip the best-looking horse in the race and be returned as the winner also. The Knavesinirk Plate should go to HATTY, who claims a 71b allowance. The Union Hunt Plate I know nothing about. The Eglinton Stakes, run on Wednesday, is a moral for WROUGHTON, and in his absence, BISMARCK should win. KNIGHT OF ST. MICHAEL cannot very well lose the Londesborough Cup, and IIAwKswELL might win the Flying Dutchman's Handicap. Passing on to Doncaster, there is nothing tobeat HUNTS MAN in the Trial Stakes ; and I shall plump for HEL VELLYN in the Hopeful Stakes. For the Londesborough Plate APPLECROSS looks to have a great chance. As Re trousse's running for the Doncaster Spring Handicap de pends upon his performance at York, I prefer the chances of SELIM and HAwEswELL. In the absence of Knight of the Garter for the Betting Room Stakes, HUNTSNIA.N will take a great deal of beating, and as most. of the horses en gaged in the Chesterfield Handicap will have been run through previously, your readers will then bo more co:n potent to judge for themselves than I can possibly be now. The Salisbury Spring Meeting, on Thursday and Fri day, is sure to produce good fields; but although there are 35 horses engaged in the Salisbury Stakes, it seems odds on LADY ELIZABETH and NINNY, whom I fancy i❑ the order named. The Wiltshire Stakes is next door to a certainty for Mr. Brayley's representative, and that, I should think, would be Douao, next to whom I fancy Charles 11. • The Old Castle Stakes and the Craven Plate are better left alone; and as regards the Wilton Park Stakes, run on Friday, the owner of PYRENEES should be the recipient, whilst Abergeldie, in his City and Suburban form, cannot be defeated in the Salisbury Cup. A FRESHMAN. NOTES FROM • TRAINING QUARTERS. THIS DAY. N E WMARKET. Target led the Hermit a nice mile and three quarters' gallop, the latter moving freely ; he had previously had two steady canters of about a mile each. The Dragon trotted and. cantered for awhile, and then went nearly a couple of mils; no horse in the world could appear or gallop better than he did to-day. Sometimes, however, he ap pears to tire at the close of his work. Sealskin took D'Estournel along for a mile and a half fast; and Flying Scud led Opoponax a similar distance at a good pace. Hippia was in long, steady work with Cainball, and goes well. Musician led The Rake and Scour de Charite three short, brisk canters, and then the two former galloped a mile and three quarters beautifully. Julius followed Bombastes in a mile and a half gallop. Fripounier, Grimston, Bismarck, Eau de Vie, Saccharometer, and Knight of the Garter were out early, and did a fair amount of work each before the above com menced. Bloss gave Blinkhoolie over two miles, and Bertie, Tempest, Pedagogue, and Problem did about a mile and three quarters. Thalassius, Sir Oliver, and Cellina galloped a mile and a half fast. The latter is improving. Star of India went nearly a couple of miles, and Dunblane, Godmersham, and Nightwatch were severally busy. Pericles took Ninny and Speculum a mile clipping. Suffolk and North Marston galloped a similar distance very fast. Jenny, tGo, had a rattling mile gallop. Bounce away was in real good work, and went splendidly. The Beadle was leading Julius. Vespasian and Indigestion had a mile and three quarters steadily to themselves ; and Lothario, Dalesman, and Fal kenstein a couple of miles. Belphegor led Angus a mile at a slow pace ; and we also noted Miss Harriette, Sultan, Wild Agnes, Tourgnalin, Chig non, La Belle Jeanne, Roquefort, Moleskin, Ravioli, Man of Ross, Landlord, Mazurka, Flamingo, Fatty, Knight Errant, and several others very active. The heath is in beautiful condition now, and trainers are exceedingly busy. Some of our Chester horses are in physic. All are healthy, but Volunteer is very lame. MALTON. Treasure Trove, Knight of St. Michael, Apple cross, the Lion, and Viscount are in good condition, and ought. to render a good account of themselves this week. Verdi has been leading Viscount some beautiful gallops latterly, and the latter is a very promising youngster. This morning Knight of St. Michael took Grand Cross, Soutoque, and Wild Wind three canters, and a mile and three-quarters gallop. Knight of the Crescent did two miles wo,rk with IVestwick, War, and Klarinska. Taraban worked by himself. Lion galloped a mile and a half ; and Skylark led Applecross a similar distance. Vernon was walking. Cora galloped a mile and three-quarters pretty fast. RICHMOND Plaudit has become more active at exercise, an this morning cantered a mile twice with Rose and Violet,.after which . Lozenge took the three a nice gallop of very little short of a couple of miles. Plaudit evinces no lameness now, and moves with freedom, but is.still lusty and sweats profusely. El Cid took Bumblekite a couple of miles this morning, and the latter will take her own part in the coming Oaks. Imperator and.(leant des Datailles are also KENT S NCU IC 09 101 va 1011 100 1021 8i 00 , 67 63 10 101 105 107 lt.! 104 lul 41 73 1,3 (~B tk , 4 (u 5 1(.3 WO 1. ) 5 lj7 PS WO 90 4,8 85 ,7 101 lu2 61 86 N 8 08 al P 3 106 108 107 109 ITIKS. improving much. Hawkswell and Declaration have done well for their York engagements, and are very fit. Fat Bob is still amiss. Dear Tom is only • moderate. STOCKBRIDGE. Ischia has been leading Vauban for the past few days, and this morning took him and Seville a mile and a half fast. Lord Ronald led Distin, Fairfield, and Harpenden a similar distance, and Gomera went a couple of miles with John Davis. Lord Ronald subsequently took Lady Elizabeth and Cuckoo at a good pace for about .a mile. Miss Bateman galloped by herself, and Caucasus merely cantered. MIDDLERAM, Fervacqucs has returned from France and been eased, but will recommence long fast work in a day or two. The following animals appear to have been specially preparAl for York and Doncaster as they a re just ripe—Bracken; Frost, Fitzroy, Policy, Rabbit' Trap, Castanet, lic:inont, Romping Gill, and the Czar. Perhaps Fitzroy and Bracken have .lone the best of the lot. • However, we expect to wiu two or three good races this week. FINDON. Longdown was set this morning to give 0 wain Glendwyr two canters of a mile each, and a steady gallop of nearly a couple of miles, which the latter did comfortably, but he seems backward. Thalia and Gilead walked about. The rest were in good fair work. L A.MBOURNE. Marksman and the Sunflower filly continue very quiet, but Cawdor is in good work, and Summer time bas recommenced activity. Liddington, too, is busy. Duet has galloped two miles each morning of late, but has no pace. Stockstill galloped a mile and a half to-day, and Lady Rosehill took Kings band and Agnes de Mansfeldt over a mile. General Sherman, Monitress, and Tribune did the most of Drislane's team, and Bonnie Doon, heather Bell, and Knight of Down the most of Gee's lot. FYFIELD. There is nothing the matter with Captain Kidd now. This morning he galloped a mile and three quarters, smartly. Pepper's Ghost ha 3 got into faster work. Staghound gallops with Savernake, and Pintail has been doing two miles by herself. The Splitvote colt took three canters of a mile, and then galloped a mile and three-quarters. Brada mante and Overture cantered only. Dulcet gallops a mile daily. HEDNESFORD. Retrousse and Master Willie go to the north. Yesterday they each had their final gallop of over two miles, and acquitted themselves first class. Edinburgh moves stilty, and the Dybbol is too moderate. LEWES. astreger led Limner and Lictor over a mile. Act Eel, and Haidee, and others are walking. Bin nacle galloped a mile, and then he and Thermometer led a lot of youngsters. ILSLEY. Lord Lyon and Achievement have not done a very great amount of work since their return from the First Spring gathering at head-quarters ; but this morning they cantered twice, and did a beauti ful mile and a half gallop, the filly moving with her usual grace and freedom. Gardovisure, after leading a lot of two year olds, gave Hatchment and the Laird a nice mile spin, but the latter neither looks nor goes well. Emmy also had charge of some youngsters. The General merely trotted and cantered about. Dalby walked some time and then cAntered a mile twice. Brown Bread was cantering only. Salamanca did good work, and will go into the north this week. Miss HAvEr.ocK. —This mare WAS purchased on Thurs day night, at .ohostor, by tho Marquis of Hastings, from Mr. Joseph Wood, with a further stipulation to receive £25 each time she wins whilst in that nobleman's pos- session. The .I-yr-old colt by Marsyas, out of Augusta, belong ing to Mr. Na ylor, has been named /lugs:dim Lord Wilton's 3-yr-old filly. by Parmesan, out of Archeres4, has been christened Parma. DIADEM was purchased by Mr. G. Payne Tor 145 guineas after winning the Ladies' Purse at Chester, on Friday. CHESTER MEETING OF 1868.—The stewards are the Duke of Beaufort, Marquis of Hastings, Lord Westmor land, Lord Coventry, Lord Sefton, Lord Stamford, Lord Poulett, Sir W. W. Wynn, and Mr. G. Payne. Archimedes was struck out of the Marquis of Westmin ster's Plate at 9.0 a.m. on Thursday. Holstein and Harrogate were struck out of the Chester Cup at 11.15 a.m. on Wednesday. YACII7IIVG. EA.NELAGLI CLUB. Tho members of this rising yachting institution opened their season on Saturday with groat success. The yachts had been ordered to rendezvousat North Woolwich, whore there is a more convenient anchorage than at Blackwell; and at three o'clock Mr. Ingram Pick, the vice-commo dore, and M. P. 11. Lomann, the rear, hoisted their pen nants on board the Eva, 22 tons, Messrs. Low and Bul mar, she being accompanied by the Argonaut, Dagtnar, Aerolito, Herod, and others, besides a steam yacht, with a large number of members and their friends on board. The wind was adverse, but the vessel rattled away in fine ryle, and after an exceedingly pleasant sail Gravesend was reached at 5.30. Dinner was laid at the New Falcon Hotel, and 40 sat down, presided over by Mr. Ingram Pick. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been disposed of " The Ranelagh Yacht Club" was given by the chairman, and the next toast was "The Officers." Messrs. Pick and Lemann having repliei, Mr. Lenthall, the trea surer, gave a most flattering and favourable account of the progress of the club, and in concluding informed the members that for the first match of the season, to be sailed on May 28, they offered the unprecedented number of five prizes, value nearly £lO. Other toasts followed, and the meeting broke up late. This good beginning augurs well for a prosperous season. PRINCE OF WALES CLUB. The Prince of Wales Yacht Club match, which was to have opened the metropolitan scum? on Tuesday, the 14th inst., is at present deferred. Owing to the early period at which the race was fixed, and other causes, there have not been sufficient entries to constitute a race agreeably with the laws of the club.

THE CASE OF TOOMER.—The letter received by Mr. Bartlett, solicitor, of Reading, from the Home-offiee, intimating that the Right Hon. Spencer H. Walpole felt it to be his duty to recommend her Majesty to remit the re mainder of the sentence of 15 years' penal servitude passed by Mr. Justice Slice upou Neville Alaskelyne Tootner, con victed at the Berks assizes last year of a rapo upon his housekeeper, Miss Partridge, le d to a gine,ral belief that the convict would be released o n Monday, and there were a great number of inquiries duri n g the day w h e ther any oeders for his liberation had been received by the govarnor of the c9unty gaol at Reading, in w t l icL Toomer has been incarcerated since his trial. No - such order, however, reached the authorities of the prison, and many persons whO had eEpected Toomer's release were greatly disap pointed. The inquiries have continued daily, and much surprise is felt that the recommendation of the Home Secre tary has not been followed by an instruction to the goVer-. : nor of the gaol to release TilOrfer from custody. THE FENIAN CONVICTS. -IVO have reason to be lieve that her Majesty's Government have arrived at the determination not to c:ary o ut the sentence of the - on the corrictliDurlie and Doran. sraaTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.
