NONE)? iIARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGSNCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The directors of the Bank of England, at their weekly meeting to-day, did not deem it necessary to alter their terms of discount. The market, therefore, remains very easy, and there is very little diminu tion in the available supplies, although provisio❑ has had to be made for a considerable number of Australian engagements just matured. To morrow, being Good Friday, and Monday next, when the review takes place at Dover, will be observed as holidays at the Stock Exchange, and an active resumption of business is not expezted until the middle of next week, as the attendance in the City on Saturday is likely to be reduced to the smallest practical limits. At the Bank of England yesterday there was a further influx of gold amounting to £33,00, and a withdrawal of £2,000. The bar silver by the West India packet has been sold at 604 d., and the Mexican dollars at 591 d. Notice has been given by Messrs. J. S. Morgan and Co. that the bonds of the Chilian 6 per cent. Sterling Government Loan for £2,000,000 will be ready for delivery, in exchange for fully paid-up scrip, at their offices, on and after the 18th inst. (this day). The last week's Railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are iu round figures as under : G reat West ern v 1867. 1866.... 71,310 73, 102 North Western ••• ••• S outh W es t ern _113,467 115,163 '"... 24,094 26, 663 M idland *** Bright on • " ••• •• • 19, 866 22,212 50,266 47,402 South Eastern ..• ••• 23,033 23,666 Great Northern *** ... 36,115 37,317 Lancashire and Yh• Bristol or s •••• 43,992 43,870 EaansdterEnxetor... ••• ••• •• 6961 6,714 N orth 70 689 66228 Manclie st s e t r , ; ra Shefueld, ancilincoin 19 ' 599 19 , 134 Great Ea 33,242 34,83 1 North B London, Ch atho.m,and .

On the Great Western there i a decrease of £1,792 ; on the North Western, of £1,696 ; on the South Western, of X , 21509 ; on th e B r i g h ton, of £2,376 ; on th e S ou th 'Astern, of £631 ; on the Great Northern, of £1 ' 202 ; and on the Great Eastern, of £1,592, while the Midland shows an increase of £2,864 ; the Lan cashire and Yorkshire, of £122 ; the Bristol and Exeter, of £247 ; the North Eastern, of £4,461 ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, of £465 ; the London Chatham, and Dover, of £209 ; and the North British, of £1,306. W The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great este rn Railway for the last week in March amounted to $109,092, against $118,097 in the corresponding period last year, exhibiting a de ase o f $9 005. The total receipts for the month of March were $438,046, against $388,480 in the Mme month of 1866, showing an increase of $49,566. A meeting of the creditors of the Commercial Bank of India and the East was held yesterday afternoon, when the terms of the proposal for the reconstruction of the establishment, under Which the remaining 10s. in the pound will be Paid by f our equal half-yearly instalments, was cordially approved. We hope that we may now regard this as another bank saved from the catas trophe of last year. At the meeting held to-day of the Oriental Bank Co rporation the directors stated that they had to congratulate their co-proprietors on the favourable result of the operations, the net profit (including 5,13 7 13s. Bd. from the last account) amounting to £ 1 93,687 Bs. 4d An interim dividend of £90,000 wa s distributed in November, and it was now pro- Posed to divide a like amount, making the dividend equal to 12 per cent. for the year, leaving a balance of £ 1 3,687 Bs. 4d. The biddings for bills on India took place to-day at the Bank of England. The amounts allotted were —to Calcutta, Rs. 19,60,000 (£196,000) ;to Madras, Rs. 40,000 (£4,000) ; and to Bombay, 118. 10 ,00,000 (£100,000.) The minimum price was fixed at ls. 11/d. on all the Presidencies. Tender s at Is. 110. on Calcutta and Madras will receive about 8g per oent., and on Bombay nt 18 : 1.1 . id, about 78 per cent. Those above these prices will be allotted in full. Two o'CLocK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 66.65. At the commencement of business this morning, business of all descriptions was very buoyant in the Stock Exchange. The Funds were 1 per cent. higher, and in Foreign Securities there was a gene ral improvement, though railways were fiat, owing to the unfavourable receipts as recorded above. Towards the :afternoon, however, there has been a reaction in most of those investments which had shown an upward tendency, and Consols have returned to the same price at which they closed yesterday— viz., 90i for money and the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 891 4 ; Exchequer Bills, 255. prem. ; Bank Stock, 2511 1 2524 ; India 5 per Cents., 1091 1104 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 944 ; ditto Enfaced per Cents., 103 ; ditto 54 per Cents., 108 4 ; and ditto Bonds, 525. prem.

Sir Charles Trevelyan has published a second edi tion of his pamphlet on the purchase system, with the following new preface :-- "As the commissioned ranks of the army are based upon purchase, the non commissioned and private ranks depend upon a sys tem of recruiting calculated to attract scamps and repel respectable men, and upon flogging, which was re-enacted in 1859, for the special purpose of keep ing together an army so recruited. Flogging has just been abolished as a punishment applicable to deser lion; a,,,a recruiting laysatern i Praire-Y opposed to the morality of this survive, now that public attention generation that has ibt been n n n directedtlon g to it. There is therefore hope for the future. Old things are passing a way, and the con formed to the actual state of societ y. arm y Lord be Grey showed a just appreciation of the u bject when he said, many years ago, th at he hoped to live to see the day when the most serious punishment that could be inflicted on a soldier would be that he should be dismissed the service. This is th self-supporting health y state ofaeytorluune voluntary yt army. When this point is reached our difficulties will be at an end, for the 10 per cent. who are the sole cause of e weakness, waste, and discredit, w il l give place to a k proportion w t f e in from t he respectabl e an d e d ucated i classes, and the British army will become a profes sion for every p ar t of the British community. When I made the statement relating to th e great extension which has b een given to the purchase system sin ce the Russian war, through the medium of the military reserve fund, I was not aware that a discussion had 1 taken place on th e subject in the House of Com mons, in which General Peel e x p osed the genuine i 3 rought them t o an character of these transactions with a l uc idi ty an d force have im mediatewhicclhosoeugh close. All t l ta on the occasion will be found in the appendix to this edition. If the proposals I have submitted for consideration were to be adopted, the current of promotion wou ld fl ow with a certainty and steadiness, as well as with an equal application to all officers, according to their services and qualifications, which are t o t a ll y want ing in the present system. Th e different sources !of promotion would be :—lnvaliding on half-pay previously to 20 years' service. 2. Invaliding on full pay after 20 years' service. 3. Compul sory full pay retirement to the maximum age to be fixed for each rank. 4. Voluntary full pay retirement after 30 years' service. 5. Volun tary retirement, without pension, previously to 30 years' service. 6. Death vacancies. 7. Military and Administrative Staff Corps, Depot Battalions, Staff Officers of Pensioners, Army of Reserve, and Militia. Whatever form the militia and army of reserve may ultimately take, they must be officered to a great extent from the regular army, whereby a wide field of employment will be opened to officers and non-commissioned officers who are incapacitated for foreign service, by health or family circum . stances, and the vacancies thus created in the regu lar army will be filled by promotion. There is no purchase in the French army ; but the limit ' , of age works well, and many of our colonels see their juniors in the French service made generals, al though they cannot themselves hope to be promoted for several years. Owing to the habit which pre vails among our wealthy families of serving in the army for short periods, to the greater liberality of our retired allowances, and the much larger pro portion of collateral appointments open to our officers, the British army will, when its regulations have been properly adjusted to this object, have an amount of promotion very superior to any which the French army can offer." LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. This Day. Market opens quiet. Sales probably 6,000 or 7,000 bales. A curious difficulty arose on Monday, in the Court of Common Pleas, where Lord Chief Justice Bovill and Justices Keating, Byles, and Smith were sitting in banco to hear appeals. One Moffatt had sent a mare by the railway, which was strangled during her transit in a horse box. He brought an action against the company on the ground that the mare had been improperly secured in the box, and re covered damages. Against this verdict the Great Western Railway Company appealed. As Mr. Justice Keating had tried the case, he felt bound to withdraw from the Bench, as did the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Byles and Smitb, who were all three shareholders in the railway. It became necessary, therefore, to defer arguing the case until Mr. Justice Winos could sit with Mr. Justice Keating to hear it. FRE SUN, LONDON, THUBSDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1867.

MARLBOROUGH -STREET. ILLLSING A HORSE.--James Sutton, a cab driver, badge 10,652, appeared to answer a summons, taken out by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for cruelly illusing a horse. Mr. Archibald Price, of 7, St. James's-street, said that on Monday afternoon he and his wife had just got into a cab iu Trafalgar-square when the horse, attached to a Hansom cab, and driven by the defendant, fell down. His wife suggested that the driver should go to the defendant's assistance, and ho did so, and the horse was got up. Directly after the defendant struck the horse two or three blows with his fist, and then kicked it in the belly several times. His wife expostulated with the defendant on his cruelty, upon which he made use of a most insulting re mark to her. Mr. Henry Thomas, of Aspen-grove, Hackney, gave similar evidence to ➢lr. Price. The magistrate said the defendant was a brutal 'vilely, cud fined him 103. and costs, or seven days. LAMBETH. tryirgrmvvet 00z... David Nrutcrnthan, who is well-known to the police, was brought up at this court for final examination, charged with uttering counter feit coin at several publichouses on the 2d and 7th inst. It will be remembered that the prisoner called at the Three Horse-shoes beer-shop, Prince's-street, Lambeth, and called for a screw of tobacco, for which he tendered a florin. It was at once discovered to be a bad one, and the prisoner was told of it. Ho said he was not aware of it, and in consequence was given into custody. After taking a good deal of evidence, in the course of which it was shown that the prisoner had been in the constant habit of passing the counterfeit coin at several public houses in the neighbourhood, he was fully committed to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court. A. DISORDERLY LODOER.—Thomas Knipple was charged on a warrant with threatening Mr. Joseph Knight and his wife, of 15, Trafalgar-square, Camberwell-road. The prisoner and his wife lived in the same house with prose cutor, and on last Monday evening he came home, and after getting into a violent passion, seized a hot leg of roasted mutton from the table, and beat his wife with it. He knocked her down, and so ill-treated her that Mrs. Knight interfered for her protection, when the prisoner made use of very violent threats, and cntinued his uproar from a late hour in the evening up till o'clock the follow ing morning. Mr. Elliot ordered him to find bale to keep the peace for six months. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT AT A TAVERN.— John Smith, a rough-looking fellow, was charged with the following disgraceful conduct at a tavern : Mr. Stocks, the proprietor of the Ribing Sun, Pimlico, said that the man came into his house yesterday drunk and asked for some liquor. Complainant refused to serve him, when ho became very violent, and on complainant's trying to put him out w ith ou t hurting him, defendant threw him on the ground, ki c k e d him r e peatedly, obviously with a desire to injure him, and then made several attem p ts to bite him. Complain an t was u n a ble to get away from the defendant until released by his potman, whom he bit severely. Mr. Arnold—Do you know anything of him ? Is he a customer ? Complainant—T never saw him in my life before. Francis Waite, potman, said that finding defendant had his master down and was ill-treating him he went to his assistance, when defendant got . him down and "let his teeth into his leg." Witness immediately punched his head and made him leave go. Defendant rushed about with his mouth open ready to bite. In reply to the charge accused said he had been knocked and beat about by the potman, as his face would prove, and his chest had been so sore that he could hardly bear it. Mr. Arnold—Your conduct has been most disgraceful, and but for tho punishment you have had from the pot man I should give you more, although not of the same de scription. You are committed for a mouth, and must enter into recognisances to keep the peace for six months. MARILEBONE. TILE ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT BY A NEWSAGENT'S MANAGER.—James Greig, manager to Mr. George Richard Glennie, 4, Connaught-terrace, Paddingten, newsagent, was charged on remand with embezzling two half-crowns for and on account of his master. The evidence previously adduced showed that it was part of the prisoner's duty, besides managing the business, to go round and collect the accounts, and account to the housekeeper every evening. As Mr. Glennie, who carried on a very extensive business, had to be away a good deal in the country, it devolved upon the prisoner to give all necessary orders for the regular supply of the daily and weekly newspapers. On last Friday he failed to do this, and returned home in a state of intoxication, and caused a vast amount of inconvenience by not having ordered the papers. Not being able to account for the money he had received during the day he was given into cu s t o dy. To-day, on the prisoner being placed in the dock he asked for the adjournment of the case, as he wished to employ a solicitor. Mr. Mansfield (to Mr. Glennie)—Would you like a re mand to be granted ? Mr. Glennie—l should, sir, as I have a number of wit nesses who are very delicate about coming forward, and 1 should like to summons them. I have a connection of something like forty miles round, and get rid of during the week some thousands of The Sun, Standards, Express, Pall Mall Gazette, and other papers, besides the morning papers and weeklies. I cannot always be at my place, and if my manager does not attend to his instructions, no end of mis chief and inconvenience arises. Within the past week or so another of my men has absconded, and I have ascer tained he has been going round with my bill heads collect ing accounts.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Henry Jackson, a mechanic, about 25 years of age, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with violently assaulting Thomas Dodge, a jour neyman butcher. The complainant's head was bandaged. His shoulder was injured, and he had received other serious injuries. Last night th, prisoner was ill-using au old woman, his wife, and a third woman, in the fore court or garden of a house in Jamaica-street, Commercial-road East, and the complainant, who was about, fo deliver a barrow of shav ings to a prrso❑ in the same street, interposed and saved the woman from further ill-usage. The priso icr imme diately attacked the c , unplaitiant with great fury, knocked him down, and kicked him while he was down. He also got the man on his barrow of shavings and pummelled him. His shoulder was injured, his head cut open, and there were contusions on his ribs. l‘fr. Thomas Stacoy, master butcher, of ,Limaica-street, confirmed the evidence of Dodge, who, be said, xrds a peaceable luau who got his living by selling shavings. The prisoner was grasping an old woman by the throat and attempting to choke her. The woman was ill in bed and could not attend the court. The prisoner said he was struck first, which was denied Mr. Partridge said the prisoner had committed a dis graceful and savage assault., and if the females he had ill used were present a sentence of six months' imprisonment would most probably have been inflicted. Ile sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and bard labour. X ARKE TS. —This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The supply of beasts on sale here to-day was limited.

At the meeting of this society on Tuesday even ing two remarkable papers were read by Mr. G. Napier on the classification of the races of mankind and on the resemblance between man and the lower animals. In the first paper Mr. Napier attempted to establish a system of arrangement of races accord ing to their mental and moral peculiarities, in dis tinction to the ordin iry arrangement, according to physical differences. This classification was, how ever, founded on arbitrary and empirical notions more than on established facts, and was rather au account of the commonly conceived characteristics of different nations than a philosophical deduction from distinctions of race. He distinguished the Jews for their morality, the Greeks for their intellect, the Celts for their morality, and the Teutons for their combination in a high degree of moral with intellectual qualities. The Rev. Dunbar Heath, and others who took part in the dis cussion, joined issue with Mr. Napier on those points, for Mr. Heath denied the superior morality of the Jews, and the claim of the Greeks as a people to superior intellect was also disputed. The qualities assigned to other nations were not suf ficiently defined to constitute marked distinctions of races. In the second paper, in which Mr. Napier at tempted to establish a resemblance between man and animals, he contended that the inhabitants of different countries have qualities in common with their botanical, zoological, and geographical sur roundings. He regarded man as a microcosm, and that everything in the world more or less resembled him ; but it did not appear clear from Mr. Napier's expression of his views whether he considered man to be the influencing cause or whether he was the object acted on. The habits of life, he observed, influence the character and the countenance, and similar influences operate on the lower animals. There is, he asserted, an assimilation always going on between man and the animals associated with him, in illustration of which he mentioned the resemblance he had seen between butchers and oxen, and shep herds and sheep ; and. he exhibited some drawings of the faces of men in which resemblances to various animals were apparent. He might, he said, extend thesa illustrations by many living examples, but he did not like to be personal. The resemblance in the dispositions of men to various animals was pointed at considerable length, especially as shown in the different characters of monkeys, dogs, and horses. The different dispositions of the various species of dogs likened to similar characters in diffe rent men, but it was not attempted to be shown that the distinctive character of •any of the breeds of dogs had ever been altered by association with man so as to render a ferocious bull-dog as quiet as a spaniel. When noticing the different disposi tions of horses a distinct quality was assigned to every separate colour. After dilating at some length on the peculiarities associated with diffe rent coloyrs, Mr. Napier proceeded to notice the improvements in the breeds of various animals effected by judicious selection, and he observed that the same laws which influence the breeding of sheep and horses exercise their influence on man, who has thus the means of the improvement of his species in his own power. The conclusion to which Mr. Napier araived was, that if man can improve the race of domestic animals he was bound to apply the same principles to himself, and that by follow ing the rule of judicious selection the race of man may become elevated in the scale of being. Mr. Bendyshe, who was in the chair, Dr. Donovan, Major Owen, Mr. Charlesworth, the Rev. Dunbar Heath, and other gentlemen took part in the dis cussion, which diverged into the comparative merits of physiognomy and phrenology as indications of character. An important work on the subject of resemblance of man to animals, lately published i❑ America, was referred to as confirmatory of some of the opinions expressed in the paper. The meeting then adjourned. TIIR PRINCESS OF WALES.—We arc happy to report that the little change which has taken place in her Royal Highness during the past week has boon of a satis factory character, and that a small but appreciable im provement has shown itself in the condition of the affected joint. For the rest, her Royal Highness's general health and spirits continue excellent, whilst, for the last throe or four nights, the amount of natural and refreshing sleep which has b3en obtained leaves nothing to be desired. — The Lancet.

" An old experienced huntsman," says a 'Vienna letter, "calls the attention of sporting men and agricul turists to the fact that woodcocks are this year nearly tnroe times as numerous as in previous seasons, and this is prognosticated as a suro sign of groat agricultural fertility and an abundant wine harvest." LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Martin and Bramwell.) WALKER V. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C. in this case, moved for a rule for leave to enter a non-suit to reduce the damages, or for a new trial, on the ground of the improper admission of evidence. The nature of the case was to obtain a sum of money for the medical attendance and services rendered to a per son injured through the negligence of the company'6 servants. The nature of the sA-vices rendered was attendance upon three persons who had been in jured on the railway, and on the case being tried at the assizes for the county of Worcester, before Mr. Baron Piggott, a verdict was given for the plaintiff for £4l 16 s . He (the learned counsel) contended that the c a se rested only on the evidence of a person named Adcock, the general manager of the railway, who had directed a surgeon named Everett to tell the plaintiff to attend upon a person named West, who had been injured at Stour bridge. Now, the principal witness was Everett, and he was the surgeon to a provident in stitution got up by the officials on the line, and the payment should have come from that institution, and not from the company. Adcock, the manager, had no right to act for the company, and if the station-master thought fit to enter into a contract, it was not binding upon the company. Baron Martin—But surely, Mr. Huddleston, you do not mean to say that the manager of a certain railway station did not represent the company ? Mr. lluddleston then quoted a variety of cases, which he contended sufficiently testified that the station-master had no authority to direct any medical attendance tobe given to any one injured. The Chief Baron—Surely, as the manager of the affairs of the company, he would be entitled to direct medical attendance to be given. Mr. Huddleston—Well, my lord, I will say no more on that point ; but as to part of the amount, £2l, that was for attendance on a servant of the company, and I considered that if that does not come within the scope of the cases quoted I do not know what does. The Lord Chief Baron—l think we cannot admit that. After a few subsequent observations, the rule was refused. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE BECKETT. This bankrupt was an attorney of Moorgate street, and he came up to-day for his order of discharge. It appeared that full accounts had not been filed, and an adjournment was asked for on behalf of the assignees. An attorney, who appeared for one of the cre ditors, stated that some •difficulty had arisen in reference to some trust money in the funds, but the bankrupt had been unable to trace the broker who had made certain sales of stock. He might say that the clerks at the Bank of England were always willing to assist the public, and if the bankrupt would write a letter setting forth the information he required it would be furnished to him. The case was again adjourned. ios 110 40 16 4 6 05 53 ;0 72 105 iC7 27 2 5 7 12 34 ill Ili) RU 111 10 4: LO 55 *4 27 25 31) LI; iii 3 , 6 17 s i 2 115 )17 71 7i 47 10 ),7 120 105 107 - - 11l 113 80 82 33 35 4 18 IGO 102 52 61 VI 91 33 15 9 10 p 112 115 1 tp 70 72 113 115 148 152 44 16 66 63 8 16 153 ;58 3 4 , ,SlOk4S. 1(PO 100 100 all 100 100 41i I 69i 60 1151 141 15 IA I I 111 i ion 6EI I 6 91 i 101 Ii 43 .ITIJ . 871 7 IRELAND. DUBLIN, April 17: The Master of the Rolls has at length given judg - ment in the case of the Supplemental Charter of th e Queen's University, granted last year by the advice of the late Government. The petitioners were three graduates of the University, who contended that the Supplemental Charter was null and void because it was inconsistent with the previous char ters, and that the Senate had no right to act upon it. In dong so they wool 1 arrogate to themselves the exercise of the QIICC7I'6 prerogative just as any other authorised body of persons would do if they took upon them to confer academic degrees and honours. If, o•► the contrary, the petitioners were wrong in their view, they were i❑ this suit seeking to interrupt the due exercise of the Queen's prero rogative by those to whom she had deputed it, and to deprive all the Q teen's subjects who might claim degrees under the powers conferred by this Supple mental Charter of the advantages to which they were entitled. The,se rights either to be asserted by the petitioners or to be defended against them were those of the Queen and the public. The At torney• General was (save in the case of some rare exceptions not applicable here) alone recognised by the law as the proper litigant to represent such rights. He was of opinion that the petition in the cause was unsustainable, on the ground that the Attorney- General was not a party to it. If that were the only defect in the suit, it might be remedied by bringing the Attorney-General as a defendant ; but he had come to the conclusion that the suit could not be maintained at all by the present petitioners, even if the Attorney-General were a defendant. In order to maintain a suit as a plaintiff a litigant must show some injury to himself as an individual, to be redressed or prevented. If no private right of his, such as the law recognises, is violated, and no loss has been or is about to be suffered by him as an individual, he cannot become plaintiff in asuit merely because others do not perform their duty to the public. It appeared to the Master of the Rolls that the petitioners had only the same grounds for main taining the suit which any of the public might assert. There had been no grievance to them as individuals, and they had no locus standi in the Court. His im pression on a subsidiary point was that the charter of 1864 did not invest the power of accepting the Supplementary Charter in the Senate exclusively. But that impression was extra judicial, and could not bind any one. He did not entertain it confi dently, nor did it enable him to secure the petitioners from paying the costs of the defendants, who had successfully resisted the hint. His Honour, there fore, dismissed the petition with costs—one set of costs, " without prejudice to any further infor mation." _ The papers this morning contain a list of the witnesses to be produced at the forthcoming trials for high treason. But irrespective of this long list there are 109 witnesses belonging to the civil and military forces to be examined by the Crown. Many of the witnesses are approvers, now residing under the protection of the police. The chief of these is the person called "Godfrey Massey," but this is an assumed name. The real name of the hero who fainted on the Limerick Junction platform is Patrick Condon, formerly a colonel in the Southern army, afterwards a canvasser for a com mercial house in New Orleans. There is a nume rous company living together pleasantly at " the depot for Crown witnesses," Fairview, North Strand. Others are lodged in the Lower Castle-yard, and at the Chancery-lane police-station. A party of 18 prisoners, charged with high trea son, were lodged in Nenagh Gaol yesterday. They are described as extremely respectable-looking and able young men, their parents, in some instances, being farmersin comfortable circumstances. Tharles Bridewell is still fully occupied by prisoners of this description, who are awaiting an investigation into their several cases prior to their ultimate discharge or committal. It is said that several districts from which the prisoners have been brought—Thurles, Holycross, Borrisoleigh, &c.--are in a very back ward state of cultivation, and in consequecce of the unsettled state of those places, and the numerous arrests which have been made, no preparations for putting in the crops have bcen made. Since the arrest of Mr. Locke, at Callan, county Kilkenny, some young men in that neighbourhood have emigrated to the United States, fearing, it is supposAa aimi!.r fate. The Royal Dublin Society's Cattle Show, tp be held next week, promises to be very successful. The number of entries for the forthcoming display is greater than on any preceding similar occasion. The number of cattle entered is 278, which con sist of 214 bulls, 43 cows, 38 heifers, And 27 fat cattle. There have also been entered 30 lots of sheep and 45 lots of swine. The contrast between these figures and those which represented the en tries of the first show 37 years ago is remarkable. At that time the number of bulls entered for exhibitors was 13. Mr. John Francis Waller, LL.D., barrister, but better known as a literary man than a lawyer, who used to write under the name of " Slingsby," has been appointed by the Master of the Rolls to the office of Reader and Clerk of the Rolls Court. The announcement of Dr. Waller's appointment has been received with general approval. No one is better qualified to fill the office ; and none better entitled to obtain it from his high literary attain ments, and his personal character. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON'S BEAUTY SPOTS.—Leigh Hunt tells us that there are architectural objects about the west end which, although raised by private munificence and taste, become so endeared to us that their demolition or removal would be viewed as an act of sacrilege or a public misfortune. The reader may recal many of these, for which, if threatened by the hand of , innovation, he would suffer no little anxiety. S-J:ne such feelings passed over us: when we perceived that the superb shop-front, at the junction of Regent-street with the Quadrant, was closd. lie could not help recalling Mr. Timb's account. of it in his " Oariosities of Len•lea," iu which he dwells, with the gusto of a connoisseur, upon its Anted lonic columns, Italiauieed arches, enriched pedimental heads, spandrels, escutcheons, and its other esthetical accessories. And all this, thought we, is doomed. As others may have regretfully arrived at the same conclusion, it is gratify ieg to state that this exquisite casket has b 'en but tempo rarily closed, to undergo a complete restoration under the superintendenee of its original designer, Mr. F. Hering. Messrs. Swan and E.lgar could hardly have devoted it thi a s s unique sake to a worthier use than by converting , they have done, into a depository for the rare and co . tly articles of Aux de shawls of India, and the far East --e.ndi vidual specimens of which continuously submitted for our inspection have, in many instances, occu pied the nimble fingers of an Indian fam ily for upwards of a year—together with the modern products of the looms of France and Britain, the marvellous results of the genius of Jacquard. As tho interior of this chef d'ceuvre, adorned with choice specimens of the rarest marbles, is indeed farm Ore elegant than even its facade, and its approaches from the older portion of the house are n o t readily discovered, visito rs, although their business may not call them to that part of the establishment, should re questw permission to inspect it, as it is most deserving of their-attention, and has already called forth tho tdmiration of many prow:lases S th a laiBtiest SPORTING INTEL LIGENOE—This Day.

We shall not have a runner for theTwoThousand, according to present appearances, as Grand Cross is disqualified and Wild Wind has been eased. Skysail, however, goes for the One Thousand, and looks uncommonly well though rather backward. Still she can have no chance with Achievement. Grand Cross cantered four times this morning, led by Knight of the Crescent; and - accompanied by Soulouque ; after which they galloped a mile and a half. War gave Vernon similar work. Skirmisher took Coryhantica a mile and three-quarters. Ap plecross gave Skylark a two-mile spin, and Camillo followed slowly. Treasure Trove and Lion galloped a mile and a quarter. Dusty Miller was in mil e work. Punster trotted about. MIDDLEIJAM. Our Two Thousand horses, the Priest, Mandrake, Child of the Islands, and Weather Guide are too backward. The first-mentioned is the best of the quartette. The Oaks mares, Minster Bell, LCMDVI enne, and Romping Girl are more fit ; and one of these may show. The above, with Corporal and Tynedale, who are in the Derby, galloped a mile and a half this morning. Fervacques did a mile and three quarters. Fitzroy had a two mile spin to himself, and is getting very fit for York. The Centaur took a nice steady gallop of a mile and three quarters. MARLBOROUGH. Staghound merely trotted this morning. Pin tail and Bradamante galloped a mile and three, quarters together. Pepper's Ghost followed for mile and a half. Captain Kidd, the Splitvote colt, and Lord Paramount had a nice mile and a half gallop. The two Mayonaise fillies, Pussy and Dra goon, with Overture, had several smart canters, and then galloped a mile. Savernake went a raking two miles, and grandly. FINDON. Owain Glyndwr has received a good preparation for the Two Thousand, and will run a game, sound horse, but is barely class good enough. To. day he galloped a mile and a half in rare form, after duing two canters of a mile each. Lady Lambton has done good work for the One Thou sand, but is too moderate for that race. Madrid is pretty fit for the Newinarket Two•Year-Old Plate, yet lacks the required speed to compete with Lady Elizabeth and others of the Danebury stamp. Ratna was again restricted to walking exercise. Gilead is doing real good work for the Chester Cup, and is a fair horse. LEWES. Ostreger and Act will go to Newmarket on Saturday.
