MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There has been rather more inquiry in the general discount market, and as the supplies on offer are not quite so abundant the rates charged for the negotiation of first-class short-dated paper range from 21 to 3 per cent. At the Bank of England yesterday there was an influx of £23,000, and 7,000 sovereigns from Paris. The Wimmera has brought about £30,000 in gold from Melbourne. A circular has been issued by the Great Western Railway of Canada, stating that the directors have decided on recommending a dividend for the half year ended Ist January last at the rate of 3f per cent., free of income tax. The Anglo-Italian Bank, as bankers, to the Land COmpany (Limited), notify that the half-yearly interest due on the Italian State Domain 5 per Cent. Loan, 1865, on the Ist of April, and also the drawn Bonds (series C) will be paid at the office of the above bank ou and after that date. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Monday, the Ist April, a special settling day in the scrip of the .United Danubian Princi palities Eight per Cent. Loan ; the quotation " to be marked." A suspension of some of the .small local banks is mentioned in the Natal papers. The Commercial and Agricultural Bank (Limited) has liabilities £45,000 and assets about £116,000, of which about £20,000 are doubtful. The Colonial Bank of Natal (Limited) has, it appears, £30,000 liabilities and assets of £BO,OOO, but how far these latter may be convertible remains to be seen. Other local esta blishments were also in difficulties; for instance, the Marine Insurance Company of Natal, and the Natal Fire Insurance and Trust Company. The liquidators of the London, Italian, and Adria tic Steam Navigation Company (Limited), after paying off, in the month of January last, the whole of the mortgage debenture debt, with interest, have declared a dividend of 10s. in the pound on the re maining general debts of the company, payable on Saturday, the 30th inst., or any succeeding Satur day, between eleven and one o'clock, at the offices, 123, Fenchurch-street, London.

The other resolutions of the directors were also carried, £1,600 voted to the board, and 100 guineas to the, auditors. Two O'CLOCK.

Clerical Reading. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—•Nothing can be worse than the reading which we have to submit to every Sunday, except the preaching. With the latter I have at present nothing to do, but I earnestly implore you to help us to some improvement in the former. Will you ask those Cambridge gentlemen to reconsider their decision. Our curate, a B.A. of their university, drops his voice at the end of every sentence, lays a false emphasis on all his little words, talks of obtain and forgive, calls her Majesty " Victoriar our Que e n,7 , and reads the Lessons in the dreariest monotony, a s if he wished to lull us to repose. Now, if the uni versities are supposed to send us our clergymen, why don't they give us men that know their busi ness ? Why don't the bishops insist upon it ? AN INDIGNANT CHURCIIWOIUN. THE MURDER AT ABERDARE.—The convict Ben jamin Jones, who was sentenced to death at the last Glamorganshire assizes, held at Swansea, has been respited during hor Majesty's pleasure. The Musical Standard says Mdlle. Marie Krebs, a young pianist well known to Loudon audiences, has made a very successful first appearance in l'aris. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESoAY SHARE MARKETS—This day.

A groat deal of damage has been done to the lowlands which aro sown with seed. It is the fourth flood in these districts that has taken place during the last six months. The basement stories of the houses in the meadows and in the lower parts of the town aro submerged. The waters are now, however, slowly re ceding. All traffic has been stopped on the canals. The rise was remarkably rapid, and great difficulty was expe rienced in some places in saving stock. The water at its height was only two inches lower than the great flood of 1864.

THE MARQUIS TOWNSHEND AND THE BEGGARS.-.-- Susan Clinton, the elder, and Susan Clinton, the younger, were charged with begging. The elder prisoner has been a professional beggar for years, and has been convicted at this court on more than one occasion. The Marquis Townshend said he was in West bourne-street, Pimlico, on the previous evening, and saw the elder prisoner sitting down on a door step. lie saw a passer-by give her some money, and he went away to get a constable ; when he re turned to give her into custody he found the girl had joined her. lie gave her into custody in No vember last, and she was sentenced to 14 days hard labour by Mr. Self; and told if she cair.e again she should be severely punished. She was then charged with sending this same girl to beg. Prisoner denied the charg., and said she was afflicted with a bad cold, and sat down to rest. She received no alms. No money was found on either of them. The Marquis said he could produce the person who relieved the prisoner. He lived in Westbourne street. Prisoner was remanded till to-morrow, and the girl sent to the workhouse. LAMBETH. DARING ROBBERY.—Au aged, dirty-looking female, who refused her name and address, was charged, before Mr. Elliott, with stealing a piece of pork, valued at about 2s. 6d. It appeared from the ;evidence of Mr. Thomas Sergeant, a cheesemonger, carrying on business at Portland-street, Walworth, that on Tuesday even ing he saw , the prisoner, who was at the time passing his shop take from out of the window, which was open at the time, the piece of pork produced, and place it under her cloak and .walk off with it. He caught hold of her, but she denied having it, and she was given into custody. Police-constable William Robertson, 48 P, said upon taking the prisoner into the station she at tempted to drop the piece of pork, and on having her searched there was found upon her a piece of mutton and a scrubbing-brush, which she refused to give any account of.

There was a poor show of English wheat here to-day, and most of tho samples came -to hand in but middling condition. For all kinds the demand was in a sluggish state, at prices about equal to Muuday. The fresh imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 9,000 qrs., but the supply was not on the increase. Sales pro gressed slowly; nevertheless, prices were supported. Floating cargoes of grain produced quite as much money as last week. The quantity of English barley brought forward was only moderate ; but 16,670 qrs. of foreign having been reported, the trade was heavy, at barely stationary prices. There was a slow inquiry for malt, at previous rates. The supply was good. Oats moved off steadily, at full quotations. The quan tity brought forward was moderate. Beans and peas were unaltered in value. The flour trade was very quiet. SKIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Although the first reunion on Epsom Downs took place somewhat earlier than usual, and despite that it preceded the Northampton Meeting, the opening day was singularly fortunate, as the weather underwent a marked change in the very nick of time. Since last Spring, it is worthy of note, the programme has been thoroughly revised, and in lieu of £7OO being given as added money to the two days, the amount from the funds has been increased to some thing like £1,500. Not. the least popular feature of the renovation is the substitution of popular names for those of plates and sweepstakes; and a most judicious alteration has been effected in the amalgamation of the two Rail way Stakes, the £5O added by the London and Brighton Com pany having been added to a similar sum given by the South Western Company, and the race has been appropriately de nominated the United Railway Stakes. Two new macs have also been ostablished,and one of them especially (the Prince of Wales Handicap) is ore long likely to become exceedingly popular with owners of horses. This liberality is worthy of the management, and cannot fail to obtain the support it deserves. In consequence of an intimation given in the morning papers that the engine-drivers and firemen on the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway had struck work, and actually turned out on account of their demands not having been acceded to on the part of the directors 'of the company, but few people went to the London-bridge terminus fur transit to Epsom. The few that did go were told that no special trains could be run, and indeed no time could be guaranteed for the ordinary ones. This state of affairs led to an immense pressure upon the resources of the South-Western Railway Company, and, notwithstand ing the short time allowed to prepare extra carriages, the arrangements proved quite adequate to the requirements of the public, and no accident attended any of thg numerous lengthy and heavily-freighted trains, which were run as soon as filled. The . morning opened beautifully fine and spring -like, the sun shining out with power and brilliancy towards nom. The 'downs' were early thronged, and the galloping of the competitors in the "City and Sub." and the race of the morrow were eagerly scanned. As the day wore on, and by the time the racing commenced, there was an immense assemblage, including all the leading Ratrons of the national sport. The Prince of Wales arrived soon after the decision of the first:race on the card, and re mained till after the City and Suburban had been run, when his royal highness left by ordinary train on the South-Western Railway. The card for to-day was a very heavy one, comprising as it did no fewer than seven races, including the City and Suburban Handicap. ' Sport com menced punctually at half-past one o'clock with the Trial Stakes, which induced a field of eight to go to the post, and of these Moulsey, on the strength of a recent trial at home, in which the old son of Teddington was said to have acquitted himself satisfactorily, was made a warm favou rite, leaving off at 2to 1. The result confirmed the judgment of " the talent," as Moulsey won in a cantor by 13 lengths. Eighteen of the 31 coloured for the Stamford Plate went to the post, and Qui Vivo was made the favourite, but the issue was in favour of Lord Vivian's Tumbler, who was backed at 100 to 8. Thirteen con - tested the Two-year-old Stakes. Ninny, on the strength of her spring form, notwithstanding the defeat of her stable com panion, Nike, being installed first favourite at 7 to 4, while the winner, Grimston, in The Rake's stable, was backed at 4to 1. Mr. Pryor's colt made all the running, and won easily by a couple of lengths, his victory adding to the list of friends of The Rake. Grimston was purchased at the Hampton Court sale in June for 420 guineas. For the event of the day the telegraph board showed 22 runners, the principal absentees being Longdown, Mount Palatine, Overture, Conundrum, Little Rover, Mrs. Allen, and Ves ' pasian. But little speculation took place during the fore noon, and as the final quotations aro given fully below, it will be sufficient here to say that the "thrown in " Ma yonaise filly finished first favourite at 3 to 1, and next in the quotations came Clarice and Foresight. Although Lord Westmorland made no declaration, when it became known that Kenyon would steer Foresight the public rushed on the Liverpool Spring Cup winner, believing him to be the champion of the "green and silver braid." The race is fully described below, and the winner turned up in Abergeldie, one of the 40 to 1 division, and little fancied by his owner or the public. He was piloted by young Huxtable, who, it will be remembered, rode Aches in the Cambridgeshire. The Mayonaise filly cut up badly, as did also Foresight and Defiance, but. Jasper ran very.for midably for a certain distance, and Ostreger, with all his weight was fifth, while Broomielaw, who displayed his usual temper was almost last throughout. The remainder of the racing is fully described below:— The Trial Stakes of 100 soya, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 soya each; three year olds 7st lib, four Bst 710, five Bst 131 b, six and aged 9st ; mares and geldings allowed 31b ; the wiener to be sold for 500 sovs ; if entered for 200 soya allowed 51b; if entered not to be sold 91b extra; one mile.

Immediately after starting Moulsey took up the running, followed by Wild Agnes, Langham, and Exceller, until rounding Tattenham-corner, when Wild Agnes took a slight lead, but Moulsey, when fairly in the straight, again went in the front, and won, pulling double, by 15 lengths. Exceller, who headed Wild Agnes at the distance, but, finding pursuit hopeless, was eased, and finished a bad third. Historian was fourth, Overture, close up, fifth, Panacea sixth, and Langham last.

A somewhat straggling start was effected, Queen of Trumps, having her head turned the wrong way, being left at the post. Qui Vive was first off, having a lead of Tumbler, Deceiver, and Ammunition on the far side, while Nike, Sir Guy, and British Tar headed the others.. At the commencement of the stand enclosure Qui Vive gave way, leaving Tumbler with a slight lead of Ammunition and Nike, Lord Vivian's colt winning after a good race by half a length from Ammuni tion, who defeated Nike a similar distance for second place. Qui Vive, close up, was fourth, Deceiver being well up with him next. At an interval of a couple of lengths came lies in Urbe, Variation, and the Catherine Hayes filly, those being succeeded by Prima Donna, the last four consisting of Quirina, La Mute, Icicle, and Bay Leaf.

At the second attempt an excellent start was effected, but in a few strides Grimston took up the run ning on the lower ground, Forest King and Ninny in the centre, and Cawdor ou the extreme right, being the most prominent of the others, Wings of a Dove filly being last away. After going a quarter of a mile Grimston, Forest King, flatchtnent, Ninny, and Mars singled themselves out, but Grimston increasing his lead opposite the stand won easily by two lengths. Forest King, after a rattling finish with Ilatchtneut, obtaineA the pony for second place by about a neck. Clear of the pair came Ninny fourth, close up with whom was Mars.

The preliminary canters of the '22 conpetitors were watched with the usual interest. The start was de!ayed some time by groomielaw, who displayed his customary temper in walking through the paddock to the starting-post ; but eventually hiing led to his,horaes, the flag was at once lowered. Leases, after going a dozen strides, took up the running, followed by John Halifax, Amanda colt, Jasper, and Plutus, in a com pact body. Slightly in the rear of this division came Abergeldie, Fitz-lvan, Clarice, Mayonaise filly, Violent, and the Miss Ann filly; the rear lot comprising Brown Tommy, Broomielaw, Thalia, and Aruiourer, the last named half-a-dozen lengths behind everything. Little variation occurred in the position cf the leaders for a quarter of a mile, when a change took place, the first to crack being John Halifax, Amanda colt., and Mis Ann filly, their places being taken as they descended the hill by Fore sight, Chepstow, Ostreger, Defiance, and Endsleigh. As they approached Tattenham-corner Clarice ran into second place, but she could not maintain her position long, and clisappeared from the front rank, followed by Foresight and the Mayonaise filly. Running out at the turn, Leases destroyed whatever chance he possessed ; and Abergeldie next to the rails, with Fitz Ivan in close attendance, had the lead. In the centre of the course wore Jasper, Plates, Violent, and Endsleigh, almost abreast with Defiance, wide on the right, who now formed the front rank; but these were shortly reduced by Jasper, Plutus, and Defiance giv ing way. Abergeldie maintained his advantage to the half distance, where Fitz Ivan got on terms with him, but easily shaking off the challenge of the " Irishman " the moment his rider called upon him, be won easily by two lengths. Violent, after a struggle with Endsleigh, finished third, a length from Fitz Ivan, Endsleigh being a good fourth, several lengths in advance of Ostreger. Chepstow was sixth, Clarice seventh, Mayonaiso filly, Defiance, and Thalia next —the last to pass the post being Foresight, Plutus, and Aldcroft. Broomielaw and Rose Stock pulled up opposite the stand.

One or two breaks-away occurred before the flag fell for the actual start, Spitfire, in the centre of the course, got away in front, followed on the right by Osprey and Adamant filly on the lower ground, but before two furlongs had been traversed the last named dropped into the rear, and Osprey was headed by Purveyor, with whom was Hue and Cry. Spitfire, however, was never headed, and won easily by half a length from Pur veyor. Hue and Cry was a good third, Sultana was fourth, the Alice Bray filly fifth, Haymarket sixth, Chan tilly seventh, Osprey next, while several lengths off were the Rebecca colt and the Adamant filly pulling up on the post.

The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. WATERFORD ELECTION COMMITTEE. At the request of Mr. HUGH AD AIR, leave was given to this committee at its rising to-day to adjourn till Friday on account of melancholy private business of ono of the members. TIPPERARY ELECTION COMMITTEE. This committee, consisting of Mr. John Floyer, Lieut.- Colonel Hogg, Mr. Walter Morrison, Mr. Arthur Russell, and Sir Phillip Grey Egerton (chairman), wao sworn at the table, and ordered to meet to-morrow. ARTIZANS' AND LABOURERS' DWELLINGS BILL. Mr. M'CULLAGH TORRENS moved the second read ing of this bill, which he said was similar to the measure introduced last year as it left the select committee. It might be said that it contained a principle of undue inter ference with Free-trade, but if it was shown that that in terference was not in their case urgently necessary, he was willing to concede that the bill ought not to be passed. In many cases hardworking men were condemned to inhabit styes, which _members of that House would not con demn their horses or dogs to live in. In such cir cumstances, he contended, they could not expect these men to tura to intellectual pursuits ; far less could they restrain them from going round the corner and getting three-pennyworth of paradise from the gin shop. That House was accountable, if having the means within their power, they neglected to use them. The hon. member pro ceeded to give instances of over-crowding, remarking in passing that it was a mockery to tell workingmen to go to the •.:ountry, because the expense was too great. In a densely populated court, packed as close with human beings as herrings in a barrel, a man caught fever, and his wife and six children were obliged to inhale the impure air. Why, did the fever make sure work ? Because in a house of eight rooms there were livings 7 people. The parish sup plied a coffin; but what happened then ? the wife and children were thrown upon the rates. This was bad, both on the ground of principle and economy, and went a great way to meet the objections that this bill would add to the rates. Besides, he had a petition earnestly praying that the bill might be passed from one of the most heavily rated parishes in the metropolis. He could give hundreds of such examples. The bill had been thoroughly sifted by the select committee, and they considered it a safe measure. I LEFT SITTING:I SAILING OF THE GREAT EASTERN. LIVERPOOL, March 26.
