310 - 14 t Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for accommodation in the general discount market continues moderately active, and the rates demanded for the negotiation of first-class short dated paper is fully 3 per cent.; in a few ex ceptional instances, however, business has been done at 2 1 7-, per cent. About £5,000, in Amerieln eagles, were taken from the Bank of England yesterday. The City of Baltimore had brought about 461 ,900 in specie. :rile last accounts from Brazil state that the re ceipts of the San Paulo Railway were daily increas ing, and that the traffic was likely soon to be much In exces s of the capacity of the rolling stock at pre sent on the line.

June 9 ll 2 ii PICTUREa IN THE TIIENCII EXELIBITION. The strongest Exhibition is of course the French, but it is not of equal strength throughout, being weakened and disfigured by occasional excesses of false taste, though these are proportionately rarer in French art than they were formerly. Amongst the new names Bonnat deserves our most respect ful mention, in spite of a Spanish tendency to blackness, which is carried to a still greater excess by another skilful Frenchman, Ribot. After the French Exhibition comes the Belgian one. It is, on the whole, the most entirely good modern exhibition of pictures we ever saw. It is not overwhelming in quantity, and the selection must have been severe for the quality to be so uni formly high. The three artists best represented are Leys, Willems, and Alfred Stevens. The worst exhibition is that of Portugal. It is astounding. It is the worst public exhibition of pictures we ever saw, except the " Salon des Refuses" in 1863. The English gallery may fairly claim to rank after that of Belgium; but English pictures are never agreeable in large masses, because our artists are so strongly individual that their works hurt each other much. The English gallery is like an orchestra every member of which is playing a dif ferent tune, but the players are, separately, very skilful executants. We have been agreeably surprised by the Spanish Exhibition, of which our expectations were not great. Let us especially mention Palmaroli's mag nificent picture, " Sermon a la Chapelle Sixtine." The Bavarian Exhibition is strong in some points, but not in ambitious historical painting on a great scale. The finest work here, to our feeling, i s Piloty's " Death of Caesar." It is a most admirable compo.4tion, full of unity and breadth, and painted with supreme skill. The Belgian, Bavarian, and Swigs Exhibitions have separate buildings of their own, in the garden. The Swiss Exhibition happened to be closed, during the days we had reserved for it, in order to paint the floors and let the paint dry—a useless expendi ture, as we do not go to a picture exhibition to look at a painted floor ; but this is exactly like every thing else about the Universal Exhibition, which is not yet in a condition to be opened, even at the end of 'a month after the official inauguration. The Swiss Exhibition was only like most other con structions in the garden, which usually bear one of the following inscriptions :—" Le public n'entre pas," "Entree Interdite," " On n'entre pas ici," " Defense d'entrer." The Swedish and Norwegian Exhibitions are both headed by a Royal contributor, K:ng Charles. We regret not to be able to say anything very favourable of his landscapes, but we applaud his love of nature. As an artist, King Charles seems too unhesitating, considering his stage of progress ; his work is not thoughtful enough. He is far too sure of what he . is about, and has learned the trick of this kind of workmanship far too thoroughly. 'this is the work of a confident and half-educated amateur, fond of nature, but wholly ignorant of the requirements of painting as an art. The Italian Exhibition seldom rises much above mediocrity, but it does so in some instances and deserves study. The best Italian art seems to be founded on the most recent French manner. Thus the manner of Pasini has an evident connection with that of Belly. Pasini, like our own Wyld, really belongs to the French school, for he lives in Paris and always contributes to the Salon. His great picture in the Universal Exhibition, " Le Schah de Peres parcourant les provinces de son royaume," is one of the finest things there. The American Exhibition is small iu quantity, but of high quality, especially in landscape. The " Niagara" of Church, and the " Rocky Mountains" of Bierstadt, are at the head of American landscape, but several other works closely approach and sustain portraits, especially the them. Mr. W. M. Ilant's one of Abraham Lincoln, are remarkable. The great German school would of itself deserve long and careful study, but it would be necessary to distinguish the true tendencies of the artists from the false directions imposed upon them by German theories and philosophies of art. A labour of this kind would be arduous, and of course en tirely beyond the already attained limits of our space.--Saturday Review. ROYAL SCHOOL FOR DAUGHTERS OF MILITARY OFFICERS. The third annual meeting of the supporters of this institution was held yesterday in the theatre of the United Service Museum, Whitehall-yard; the Duke of Cambridge in the chair, support e d by the Earl of Cardigan, Earl Powis, W Lord u r I Pollockl. e P , au A, 1 esstitibr Ashburn ham, Generals Sir W. Gomm Codrington, Sir E. Ct; Sir st. La w . e 1 ham, Hope, Westfield, and a large number of military officers. The Rev. Mr. Jenner, the secre tary, read the report, which stated that the school had made considerable progress since the last annual meeting. The number of p u pil s then fifty, while th e num ber i n n ow th is e 69 s , ch o o f ol as wh w om 47 have been elected by the subscribers, paying £l2 each per annum, and 22 have been admitted on nomination by the committee, paying each £5O per annum. The daughters of all officers in her Majesty's army, inclusive of the marines, are eligible for admission from 10 to 15 years of age. The number of applications for ad mission are most pressing—some of a most painful nature, and many of these the committee have been compelled to reject solely from the want of funds. The income of the past year exceeds the current expenditure, and a large number of pupils could be admitted if the state of the funds allowed the necessary accommodation to be provided. The annual subscriptions for the past year had been £2,544, being an increase over those of the preced ing year of £967. The total income of the year had been £11,290 ss. 10d. The expenditure, including the rebuilding of the school, the purchase of land, and the general expenses, had been 115,143 55., leaving a liability of £3,807, which had been reduced since the balance-sheet had been made up by £l,OOO. The chairman said the deficiency had arisen from the committee having been disappointed in the receipt of a large sum of money they had been pro mised, and but for which they would not have entered upon such extensive building transactions. However, there was still good ground for hoping that the money would yet be paid over. Under the circumstances, he would advise the strictest economy on the committee, and that on no account should they admit more scholars than they consi dered the state of the funds would warrant until the debt was cleared off. Nothing so much ham pered the managers of a charitable institution as a heavy debt hanging over their heads. H e was happy at ;;eeing himself surrounded by such a large number of general officers, as it augured well for the future of an institution in which he took a deep interest. Military officers as a body were unable to subscribe largely to the institution, a n d it must therefore depend in some measure on the support of the general benevo lent public. He con cluded by strongly advocating the y . claims of the society. On the motion of Sir illiam Gonun, seconded by Earl "'owls, the report was adopted. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Sir W. Codrington, General Lawrence, the Earl of Cardi gan, the Hon. Sir E. Cust, and others ; and the committee of m an agement for the ensuing year hav ing been elected, the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. ;hare Railways. i Paid. Closing Price.

ORDINARY SHARKS AND STOCKS. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Sheo and Lush. OSLER 'V. AUSTEN. Mr. Waddy, on behalf of the defendant in this case, ap peared to support an appeal from the decision of the jus tices of Cardiff. It appeared that Osler had engaged on board a vessel at Cardiff, and that the appellant had in duced him to enter another vessel, which the magistrates considered was in contravention of the provisions of the statute. There was some, doubt in reference to the facts, and the Court remitted the case again to the magistrates. COURT OF EXCHEQUER (Sittings at Nisi Prins, boforo Mr. B:irt'n Channel].) LVANs V. ALLEN AND ANOTHER —ASSAULT BY TWO FEMALES OX ANOTHER. Mr. Keene, Q.C., and Mr. Philbrick were counsel for the Plaintiff ; and Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Murphy for the defendants. From the opening statement. of counsel it appeared that. the plaintiff in this case was a draper, who had till lately carried on business as a draper at 163, Elgware-road, and the action was brought to recover compensation for datnages committed on his wife, by Mrs. Allen, and her daughter, Mrs. Astwood. The defendants pleaded that they were not guilty, and that Mrs. Evans had assaulted them. The facts are de felop,ql in the following evidence. Elizabeth Evans, examined by Mr. Philbrick. Her husband had carried on business for several years, but had given it up lately. Sometime previously she and her family had occupied the upper part of the house, but had given the apartments to Mr. Astwood for his use, and also the use of the assistant and a porter on the establishment, and went to reside at Galway. Mr. Astwood acted as foreman to her husband, who went every day to look after the business, and she sometimes accompanied him. He left there on the 19th February last, between eleven and twelve o'clock in the day. He had occasion to go upstairs, and in doing so had to pass through a parlour at the back of the shop. She closed it as she thought, but heard it violently slammed after her. She opened it with a view to inquire the rea son of such conduct, upon which Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Astwood closed the door with violence, jamming her arm between it and the post. She screamed out, and the as sistant came to her aid. His name was Comfort. Mr. Keene—A drop of mercy would have been more appropriate just thou. (A laugh.) Mr. Chambers—Oh, a drop of the comfort is of great use. (A laugh.) The witness then proceeded to state that she staggered to the first chair she could roach, and sank into it. Mrs. Astwood and Mrs. Allen came behind the chair and dragged it from her, throwing ber with great violence on the floor. His Lordship—You have got the seems of action, 31r. Philbrick. (A laugh.) Mr. Philbrick—Yes, my lord. We are in the thick of the battle now. (A laugh.) Witness, in continuation, said that the wooden part of the chain struck her on the lower part of the spine, and she had been ender medical treatment, and was not yet, re covered from her injuries. Mrs. Astwood said —"I told you your mamma would give it you." In falling she struck against' the fender. Mrs. Allen was armed with an umbrella, and attempted to resume her assault on her, but was prevented from doing so by Comfort. Mrs. Allen said she would shake her head off her shoulders. Mrs. Astwood and Mrs. Allen abused her most grossly, accused her of starving her hus band, killing her Child s and said her husband would have gone to the dogs except for Mrs. Astwood, who was the best friend they ever had. His Lordship—Gone to the dogs, what does that mean? A jurymen explained that it was equivalent in meaning to going to ruin. The Witness—Mrs. Astwood called me a skinny cat. His Lordship—We are going from dogs to cats. (A laugh.) The witness was cross-examined at considerable length, but nothing material was elicited. Witnesses were called in support of the plaintiff's case. For the defence it was contended that Mr. Astwood was not 'merely a manager of the buSiness, but a partner in it, and that so far from having assaulted Mrs. Astwood, that lady was the aggressor, and that if she received any in juries at the hands of the others it was in their own self defen oe. The case was proceeding when we went to press. (Sittings in Banco, Icefore the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Piggot.) SLADE V. SLADE. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C7,still proceeded with his arguments this morning, contending that by the judgment delivered in the case of " Warrender v. Warrendl.r," which was in favour of that being a valid marriage, the marriage of Baron von Korber to Lady Slade was invalid. A long discussion then ensued as to the decision of the House of Loris in that case. Mr. Coleridge was still proceeding when wo went to press. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-- (This Day.) THE GREAT TEA ROBBERY. J. Belcham, the man who was charged with having received the tea recently stolen from the docks, which was discovered in his cellar, was this day convicted, and sen tenced to five years' penal servitude. Morris, the man who had conveyed the tea in his cart from the docks to the prisoner's premises, was sentenced to 9 months' imprisonment; and the man who had induced him to take the goods, as being the more guilty, was sen tenced to 18 mouths' imprisonment. Mr. Bodkin directed that Sergeant Arkyill, who had displayed so much intelligence and activity in apprehend ing the prisoners and tracing the property, should re ceive £2. THE CASE OF EMBEZZLEMENT AT MR. GLENIE'S. Mr. Glenie announced to the judge this morning that it was not his intention to proceed with the prosecution against Grigg, who had been committed from Maryle bone Police-court on a charge of embezzlement while in his employment. Ono of the parties concerned had been sentenced to six months' imprisonment last Monday, bt.V; the third party had not boon apprehended. Ile believed that these two latter were the guilty parties. The prisoner was accordingly discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MAR LBOAOU - GII-STREET. CAUTION TO OMNIBUS PROPRIETORS AND DRIVERS. — Thomas Wheatley, driver of omnibus 7,346, the property of Mr. Hughes, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with cruelty to a horse by working it while in an unfit state. Peter Hayward, officer of the Rnyal Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said that ho was in the Regent Circus, Oxford -street, and saw the defendant driving an omnibus, ono of the horses attached to which was covered with perspiration, and on examining it he found that it was old, worn out, and had a decayed fetlock. On speaking to the defendant about the condition of the horse, he said ho was obliged to take it out. The horse was not out for weeks. _ _ Defendant admitted the horse had a greasy neck, and that it was swollen. Th e horse was old, but fit for work. Mr. Tyrwhitt said, a l though the horse was sen t ou t by another person, it was impossible for him not to find the person driving it guilty of cruelty, and he should fine the defendant 10s., or seven days. if the defendant thought proper to give the mincer of the society the name of the person who_sent out the horse, a summons could be taken out against him.

DREADFUL AND SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A WlFE.—Barney Sullivan, an Irish labourer, of No. 6, Kinder-street, St. Gm-go-in-the-East, was chargotl with beating his wife Ifonora. The complainant, who was in a deplorable condition, with her mouth cut, her file() contused, and her eyes blackened, said she had been warned to the prisoner only three months, and that iu the course of that time he had frequently ill-used her, and she did not know what for, except that he was very jealous of her. He came home on Monday night very tipsy, and after abusing her dragged her out of bed, and beat her. lie also pulled her along the floor, kicked her on the mouth and knocked three of her teeth out. Yesterday (Toes day) afternoon he again came home i n t ox i ca t e d an d again dragged her out of bed , which she had never left since the preceding night, and kicked he r a b ou t th e head? AG, MAY 8 1867. logs, and body. In trying to save her face, she received many kicks on her arms, which she exhibited. They were contused and swollen. He continued to kick her until she was quite insensible. The prisoner, who was in a state of great excitement, said that his wife was faithless to him, and had driven him mad. The wife denied that she had ever given cause to her husband to be jealous of her. The prisoner (loudly)—I caught her in bed with a Jew now that's the truth. Wife—Oh, you wicked man ! A police-constable said the prisoner was intoxicated when he took him into custody yesterday, and was exceed ingly' violent. The prisoner said he worked for Mr. IS urges, the en gineer, and that he was a hard working man. His wife encouraged the visits of other men while he was from home, and she visited them. The magistrate sail inquiries must be made into the truth or falsehood of the prisoner's allegations relating to his wife. If what he said was true, his punishment would be measured accordingly ; but if it was Ldse, h.• was only aggravating the case. Ho remanded the prisoner. A7TEMPTED MURDER IN THE STRAND At the Bow-street Police-court, this day, Michael Regan, Ilonora Regan, his wife, and Mary Sheen, his daughter, and wife of the injured man, were placed at the bar, before Mr. Vaughan, charged with violently assaulting Thomas Sheen to such an extent that his life is now despaired of. Police• constable F 150 said he was on duty in the Strand at a quarter past five, when a person came up and said there was murder done in Denham court. He went there, and saw the three prisoners at the door, and the man Shaen lying on the ground, weltering in his blood. The younger prisoner, Mary Sheen, had a flatiron in her hand. She had her arm raised as if about to strike the man on the ground, when he (witness) rushed for ward and took the iron from her. The woman Regan had an iron crook in her hand, which also was taken from her. He sent for two other con stables, and then raised the man up, and found five dangerous wounds on his head. lie bathed his head with cold water, which appeared to revive him a little, but finding he was so severely injured he at once sent him to King's College Hospital, where he was at once admitted. The surgeon had given a certificate to the effect that he was in a very dan ,gerous state, and quite unable to attend. Police-constable 32 F said—At a quarter past five he was on duty. in Newcastle-street, Strand, and, on being called, he went to the assistance of the last witness. He saw the wounded man taken to the hospital. Edward Sheen said he resided at 2, Denham yard. At ten minutes past five the deceased came and knocked at the door of the house in which the elder prisoner, his father-in-law, lived. The door was opened, and: then he rushed into the room in which the younger prisoner was in bed ; he seized her by the hair of her head, and swore he would have her out. The prisoner Regan then interfered, and both then began fighting ; he then ran for the police, and that was all he knew about the matter. Mr. Vaughan—Did you see anything before you left for the police ?—Regan and Sheen were then struggling together, the male prisoner Regan was covered with blood. Neither of them had anything in their hands. Did you,not tell the constable when you met him that he must come at once as there was murder being done ?—I told the policeman that if he did not make haste a murder would be done. It was all Sheen's fault. He said he did not care for any person in the house. The Inspector informed the magistrate that there was a witness in attendance who had seen the wounded man that morning. Mr. Vaughan said it had already been stated that the man was so severely injured that he could not attend, therefore he should "remand the prisoners for a week. MARKETS. --this day. - - AIARK-L ANE.

MARTIAL LAw.---on an " early day" Mr. O'Reilly intends to call the attention of the House of Commons to the law as laid down by the Chief Justice of England in his charge to 'the grand jury at the Central Criminal Court on the 10th April, 1867, in which he declared it to bo the unquestioned and unques tionable law of the land that no English subject can be and, also, to th e statement subjected to martial law ; made in the House on the 11th March by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, that the government had not the intention of at that time pro claiming martial law, and hoped there would b e no neces sity to proclaim it; and to move the following resolution: —" That whereas, by the law of this kingdom, no man may be forejudged of life or limb but by the lawful judg ment of his peers, or by the lair of the laud ; nod no commission for proceeding by martial law may issue forth to any person or persons whatever by colour of which any of her Majesty's subjects may be.destroyed or put to death contrary to the laws and franchise of this land, and the pretended power of suspending of laws, or the execution of laws by regal authority without consent of parliament is illegal ; this house woull regard as utterly void and illegal any commission or proclamation purporting, or pretending to proclaim martial law in any part of this kingdom." . ATTEMPTED MURDER TIIROUGII JEALOUSY. --On Monday, a labourer, named Thomas Rowland, was brought before the magistrates at Blackburn charged with wound ing Mary Kenny, a factory operative,with intent tocommit murder. On Stmday afternoon the prisoner and prosecutrix were in a beer-honse in Francis Ann-street. There had been a feeling of jealousy between the prisoner and his wife, and as prosecutrix lodged at the same house she had gotinixed up with the parties, and theprisoner seems to haveattached some blame to her, ill consequence of which quarrelling had gone on for a few days. Whilst drinking at the beerhouse .on Sunday the prisoner threw a quart jug at Kenny, in flicting a very serious -wound. He was prevented from injuring her further at that time, but as she was going to her lodgings he hit her on the head, drew a razor from his pocket, and attempted to cut her throat. She evaded the attempt., and the razor cut her ear and only slightly gashed her neck. The prisoner made another desperate effort to accomplish his murderous purpose, and, in intercepting the blow, the arm of prosecutrix was severely cut. The prisoner was then secured and taken to the lock-up. — Manchester Cdurier. ROYAL INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCHITECTS.---At the annual general meeting of the Institute, held on Monday evening, Mr. Beresford Hope, M.P., president in the chair, thelon. gentleman resigned his office, having occupied it for two years He *then proposed Mr. Tite, M.P. for Bath, as his successor, this being his second nomination to .this honourable office. The motion was seconded by Professor Donaldson, and carried by accla mation. The statement of an opposition ou the part of Captain Grosvenor, which has appeared in some of our contemporaries, was without foundation. The members of the co-operative societies of Paris have drawn up an address in favour of peace and frater nity to the operative engineers of Berlin. The address has received more than 1500 signatures. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tais DAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. HYPOTHEC ABOLITION (SCOTLAND) BILL. Mr. CARNEGIE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to abolish the law of hypothec in Scotland. By the law as it at present existed the landlord had the most extensive powers. It enabled the landlord, immediately a tenant entered into the possession of a farm, to sequester the whole of his farming stock as a security for payment of the rent when due, and also even the power of fallowing the crops grown on .the lands, and seizing it to make up any ticiency that might arise, thus inflicting the hardship of calling upon the person who has once purchased it to pay for it again, to release it from the landlord..
