Business in the general discount market is very quiet, at easy rates. On Saturday there was an influx of £30,000 in gold at the Bank of England. The Tanjore has arrived from Alexandria with a small sum of specie, equal to about £5,750. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain Steady at 28 30 ex-Coupon, and the Con solidated Mortgage Bonds at 214 22. From the manufacturing districts the accounts during the past week have generally been of a more satisfactory character. At Manchester spinners and manufacturers are fully employed under contract for orders recently received from India and America, and prices of cloths and yarns are supported not withstanding the increased supplies of cotton at Liverpool. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Brad ford, aad Huddersfield only moderate dealings have been reported in seasonable goods, while from the autumn and winter trade the operations as yet have not been very extensive ; prices, however, are gen ially sustained. In the lace and hosiery trades of Leicester and Nottingham there has been a mo derate inquiry f or seasona b le goods ; wh i le at Thr r°lnghain Sheffield, and Wolverhampton in most . depart ments there has been a good demand for h ome , req u i rements at fully late prices.

Two O'CLOCK. A full average amount of business has beg trans acted to-day in the market for the English Funds, and the quotations are still advancing under the favourable influence of easy money and steady Purchases for investment as well as speculation.

" There was a sound of revelry by night" in the halls of the British Embassy from last eve's sunset to thit morning's sunrise. The greatest fete of the season was given there to the Prince of Wales. Something was said in the French papers about Lady Cowley's visiting list having been severely expurgated for the occasion. Far from this being the case, everybody was at the embassy wh o habitually goes there, and a great many who never were there before. Although a temporary room, nearly as largo as all the rest of the salons put together, had been built expressly for this ball, the crowd was greater than any of this generation remembers in the same place. The improvised saloon of which I speak comprised the large square space in the garden between the wings of the embassy palace in which are the new ball room and the supper-room. This saloon was covered throughout with a rich Aubusson carpet ; there was a fountain in the centre ; seats were tastefully arranged among flower-beds and arbours, and the light was brilliant and most artistically managed. At the far end next the garden was the buffet, and behind this the high was covered from the ground to the roof with fresh flowers, Amidst these flowers, high up above the right and left of the buffet, appeared handsome transparen cies representing the Prince of Wales's feathers, with the motto Ich Dien. As to the company present, you will find long lists in the chronicles habitually devoted to such subjects. I shall only say that all the 80 personages whose names you will read in yesterday's Moniteur as having dine I at the Tuileries on Thursday were there; and, in addition, all the official and diplomatic personages usually seen at fashionable fetes, and a very large proportion of those English residents and visitors to whom, for one reason or another, the embassy extends its hospitality. The number of cards of invitation issued is said to hays been 2,500. The ball was opened by a quadrille (the quadrille (l'honneur), in which the Prince of Wales danced with the Empress of the French, having for vis-a vis the Duke of Edinburgh and the Queen of the Belgians. The side couples were Prince Joachim Murat and the Princess Eugenie of Leuchtenburg, and Lord Roys ton and the Duchess of Manchester. You will read in the France that the Emperor opened the ball with the Queen of the Belgians, having the King of the Belgians and the Empress for their vis-a-vis. But this is a mistake ; neither the Emperor nor the King of the Belgians danced during the whole evening. Prince Napoleon came late, and stayed but for a very short time. He did not join the Imperial and royal party at the supper-table. Both the Queen of Portugal and the Princess Clotilde sent excuses. The cause of their absence was a very homely and simple one. The Princess Clotilde had a toothache, and her royal sister, Queen Pia, said she preferred keeping her com pany, passing a quiet evening, and talking about their babies, to going out. At this ball there was a great sprinkling of knee-breech a j e o s r a it n y d , ti b g n h t ts f . orm T e h d ey a were far from being in a majority, very respectable minority. Some wore at the knee bows of black ribbons. Lord Royston had on a blue coat with velvet collar and gilt buttons, such as was the fashion iu London a quarter of a century ago. His lordship, who is ou intimate terms with the Prince of Wales, may perhaps bring this coat into fashion again, but last night he was alone in his glory. The Prince of Wales wore a black coat and white waistcoat, across which was the broad red grand cordon of the Legion of Honour, tights, and garter on the knee. The Duke of Edin burgh was dressed in precisely the same way, with the exception that he wore the blue ribbon of the garter across his white waistcoat. They both had a rosebud in a buttonhole, the freshness of which throughout the evening is I understand attribut able to a new and ingenious tailor's contrivance, by means of which the rose stalk is placed in a little phial of water hidden in a pocket made expressly for it. Both the princes looked extremely well, entered into the amusements of the evening with all the spirit of their age, and made themselves most agreeable to all who had the privilege of speaking with them. I need not enter into many details as to the order in which the Imperial and royal personages sat at supper, which lasted a long while ; beards wagged merrily, and most of the dishes handed round were not tasted merely, but done justice to in a serious and business like way. The Empress held a particu larly animated conversation with the Prince of Wales, who seemed to amuse her greatly. When the Highland Piper went round the table with the bagpipes the Prince directed her Majesty's atten tion to some ladies who were stopping their ears, and laughed good-humouredly at their want of appeciation of Highland music. At about two o'clock the cotillon began. It was conducted by the Marquis de Caux. The Prince of Wales chose for his partner for this dance, which lasted fully two hours, the beautiful Marquise de Galliffet. In the broad daylight of five o'clock, dancing was still going on. ESSEX AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—Having obtained the necessary authority from the Privy Council, thissociety has decided on having a cattle show. Mr. Du Cane, M.P., writes to the committee —" The recent outbreak at Lime house, which is close on the borders of Essex, will prevent any cattle being sent to.Braintree for exhibition from any place in Essex which is within 20 miles of Limehouse, and the effect of this must be to exclude a considerable extent of the metropolitan end of the county from the exhibition. lam sorry for this restriction myself, as I consider it would have been amply sufficient for the county to have been free of cattle plague for four months preceding the exhibition; but I was assured by Dr. Williams that the Privy Gentled had attached groat importance to this con dition, and that there was no chance of their being induced to alter it. THE AMERICAN IRONCLADS. -- The Patric says:— "We have reason to believe that Prussian agents have been despatched to New York with the view of purchas ing the ironclad vessels built during the late war in the United States, but which since its conclusion have become iu excess of tho wants of that country. Among other vessels are mentioned the monitor Onondaga and the ar moured frigate of 5,000 tons, the Dunderberg. The state ment contained iu a private despatch that the latter vessel had been purchased by France ie erroneous." LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTAL/.

Mortgage Loau, 74 1 LUNACY INQUIRY.—Mr. Samuel Warren, Q.C., and a jury concluded an inquiry at Gateshead, on Friday as to the state of mind of Mr. Charles Murdue, a gentle.: man who took a somewhat prominent part in public affairs in Newcastle some time ago, and who has recently been an inmate of a private asylum at I )unston. A few years since Mr. Murdue lost a lawsuit, and in consequence, it was alleged by his son, a medical man, ho took to drink and became subject to hallucinations. lie had been confined in an asylum upon the certificate of two medical gentle men asserting that Mr. Murdue was, and another set that it was not., insane. The jury examined the alleged lunatic themselves; and after a deliberation a majority of 12 de termined that he was of sound mind and capable of ma naging his own affairs, an announcement which was hailed with groat cheering outile the court.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, in London, before Mr. Justice Mellor and a Common Jury.) JUDD V. HARDING. Mr. Cole, Q.C., and Mr. Joyce appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Pearce for the defendant. This was an action for detaining certain goods, and there was one count in the declaration for trover. The defendant pleaded not guilty, that the goods were not the plantiff's, but the property of a Miss Annie Adams, that the plaintiff had received full satisfaction for than. and filially that the goo'ls were given to Miss A:lains to earn a livelihood by an immoral life. From the evidence of the plaintiff it appeared that he was a linendrap'?.r and in:Tcer in High street, St. John's-wood, and, in August, 1835, was acquainted with a Miss Adam-, who went under the name of Mrs. Clifford, and was living under the protection of a gentleman named Hymn, at St. John's-wood. She was a customer of the plain tiff's, ant called at his shop with Mr. Ilyam. They had sonic conversation, in the course of which Mr. Hyam complained of the amount of rent he was paying for a furnished house, and the plaintiff advised him to purchase some furniture. It was then agreed that the plaintiff should buy the furni ture, and that Mr. llyam should give him a bill of sale on it. The furniture was accord ingly purchased for the amount of £l4O, and a bill of sale on it was given for £195, the difference being money owed to plaintiff, and Miss Adams, and Mr. Hyam. Twenty pounds were also paid to the plaintiff, and instalments of £8 Bs. 61 kept up for some time. Mr. llyam left Miss Adams, and at the time there was a balance of £95 due. Miss Adams then went to live under the protection of a gentleman named Gould, a captain in the Fourth Bengal Native Infantry, and he paid the plaintiff, and gave him a cheque for the remainder of the debt, but it was dishonoured. 011 the plaintiff refusing to give the bill of sale, Miss Adams, who was about leaving London, determined to dispose of the furniture, but a distress was put into the house, and the goods were seized by the defendant. One witness was called on behalf of the plaintiff, but his evidence was immaterial. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, in opening the defen dant's case, said he would not depend upon the plea which bad been placed on the record as to the goods having been supplied for an immoral pur pose, because he considered it would be unfair to tradesmen if such pleas were enforced. The learned counsel then proceeded to call evidence to contradict the statement of the plaintiff, and several witnesses were examined. The case was not concluded when we went to POLICE INTELLIGEACE.--This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WILFUL DAMAGE AT A "JUDGE ♦ND JURY" SOCIETY. —Henry Houghton, a well-dressed young man, was charged with wilfully damaging a pot of the value of Bs., the property of Mr. Henry George Brooks, the chief baron of the "Judge and Jury Society," No. 21, Leicester square. On the defendant being placed at the bar, Mr. Brooks said he did not wish to press. the case. Mr. Mansfield asked whether the defendant had settled the damage. Mr. Brooks said he had not. The defendant had, how ever, apologised, and offered to place something in the poor-box, and if he did that he (Mr. Brooks) would be perfectly satisfied. The defendant said he was quite willing to agree to Mr. Brooks's offer, and having placed 10s. in the poor-box he was discharged. RonamtY AT A RAILWAY STATION.—William Thomas, a lad, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with stealing a purse containing £B, from the person of Mrs. Charlotte Jennings, of 17, New Union-street, Moorfields. The prosecutrix said—Last night, about 10 o'clock, I was standing in company of my husband on the platform of the Portland-road Station of the Metropolitan Railway, there being a large number of persons there at the time, wttiting for a train to the City. I ❑oticed the prisoner to keep standing close to me, and he pushed against me and kept following me. Suddenly 1 felt something heavy at my pocket, and o❑ turning round I saw the prisoner with my purse, containing £8 in gold and some silver, in his hand. We seized the prisoner, nut he succeeded in passing the purse to a man in the crowd. Mr. Jennings, husband of prosecutrix, having given similar evidence, Police-constable James Thompson, 308 S, said—l was on duty last night in Osnaburgh• street, when I was fetched to the Portland-road Station of the Underground Railway, and the prisoner was given in charge for stealing the prosecutrix's purse containing £B. On searching the prisoner I found some coppers in his pocket, and in his boot 4s. 3d. Mr. Mansfield—Did he make any answer to the charge? Constable—He did not. Mr. Mansfield—ls he known ? Inspector Hubbard—l cannot say at present, but I be lieve if he is remanded he will be known. Mr. Mansfield remandeil the prisoner for week. THAMES. A SAVAGE FELLOW.—Williain Malcolm, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget, disturbance in front of th e par i s h c h urc h o f St. J o hn, Wrapping, and Y iolen tly as sau l t i ng J o h n Craig, a police c onstable No. 117 K. charged with making a Yesterday morning, soon after the service had com menced in Wapping Church, the prisoner made a hideous noise close to the doors of the church, and disturbed the congregation. Mr. Stock, the sexto❑ and beadle of the church, went out and expostulated with the prisoner in a civil manner, and pointed out to him the impropriety of disturbing people at their devotions. The prisoner made use of bad language, and abused Mr. Stock, who called the attention of Craig to the follow. Craig was unable to per suade the fellow to leave the vicinity of the church, and took him into custody. The prisoner immediately set a ferocious dog on the constable, and the animal torn his trousers, and bit his log. The prisoner beat off the cur and again collared the prisoner, who knocked his helmet off. After a determined resistanco ho secured the prisoner. The prisoner said he was intoxicated, and knew nothing of the transaction of yesterday. Mr. Paget said the prisoner was a savage and cowardly fellow, who kept a dog to attack people. lie sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one calen dar month, Total Destruction by Fire of Christ Church, Kensington.--(This Day.) 1 This (Monday) morning between the hours of one and two o'clock the Inhabitants of Kensington were aroused by the cries of " fire," when it was ascertained that Christ Church, Park-road, were in fla m es, Before the steam engines of Messrs. Shand, Mason, and Co. could arrive the atmosphere was illuminated for several miles around. Th e fl a me s spread in every direction, causing the greatest consternation.

This they refused to do, and on Wednesday the B oard of Guardians ordered them to be discharged from the workhouse. They were sent out on Thursday, and on the following morning they went to Mr. Saunders's house and asked for a ticket of admission to the workhouse. On his refusing to give them one Sixton struck at him, but the blow was fortunately parried, and Mr. Saunders shut the door to prevent further violence. The mon remained in his garden a considerable time waiting for him to rotoe out, and while so xvaiting Mr. Saunders got out of his house by the back door and fetched a constable, who apprehended the prisoners while in the garden. The case against Langstaffe was not pressed. Sixton was ordered to find two sureties iu the sum of £2O each, and to enter into his own recognisances in the sum of £lO to keep the pace for.l2.mouths. In default of his finding the sureties, ho was told that ho would be If9pt in Prison for the full term of 12 months. MARKE TS. —This day. MARK:LANE.

The demand for most kinds was steady, but far from active, at prices barely equal to Thursday last. However, the best Scots and crosses were disposed of at fully ss. per 81bs. The supply from Scotland was remarkably good. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received about 1,300 Scots, short horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England, 500 various kinds; and from Scot land, 263 Scots and crosses. We were heavily supplied with sheep, and most English breeds made their appearance in full average weight. Prime Downs and half-brads were in fair request, at full prices, but heavy long-woolled sheep were the turn lower. The top quotations were 4s. 101 to ss. per 81bs. A few very superior lambs produced previous rates, viz., Bs. 44., but the general top figure was Bs. per 81bs. The supply was tolerably good, whilst the arrivals from the Isle of Wight were about 500 head. The demand for calves was by no means active, yet prices were well supported.

Anthony, and J. 011iver 4 - A good race; Eaprs leading to Lambeth, where Coombes came up, and au exciting finish was declared a dead heat by Charles Taylor , the referee; the others close together. The course was from Chelsea to West minster-bridge. NEWCASTLE. On Saturday the match between the veterans Harry Clasper and Mat Taylor, to row from the High Level bridge to Scotswood, for £2O, took place shortly after the time announced. The betting was 6 to 4on Taylor, who won rather easily by 11)0 yards. Time, 23 min. 35 sec. Considering their age, and the large number of races that they have rowed, this must be considered a wonderful per formance. Mr. MILLAIS has, we are given to understand, just commenced a picture from "As You Likti It," —ltosa.- lind, Celia, and the Clown in the forest. SPORTING NOTES. The race for the Blue Riband, which has caused so much excitement in turf circles during the winter months, will be decided on Wednesday. Mug Alfred ought to win the Woodcote Stakes, King Victor the Rous Stakes, and Cranbury the Heathcote Plate. The following horses are the only ones possessing a chance for the Derby : DAM. ~ Palm .... JOCKEY. .... Fordham, ••.. Chn,loner, Gritnshaw. Cavriaj•z Shot ..... HORSE. SIRE. Vauban Muscovite.

The Rake has assu tried a more healthy appearance, and if he can be brought sound to the post, he must near win. Marksman, the property of Mr. Merry, is almost certain to got a place. Van Amburgh, by Van Galen, out of Cavriana, is a well-bred horse, and if his running with Wroughton was correct it ought to be 10 to 1 on him instead of 7 to 1 agst him. Mr. Cartwright seldom wines race when his horse is a favourite. He may win, but I have no confidence in his pretensions. The Dragon has gone entirely out of the betting. The Palmer belongs to one of the most astute gentlemen on the turf, and may win. Grand Cross has undergone one of John Soott's altera tions, and ought to be held harmless. Dwain Glendwyr was short of preparation when he ran in the Guineas, and will certainly improve that perform ance. Indeed, if any outsider should upset the favourite, or " split" them for a situation, it will, I feel persuaded, be the " Welshman." Fitz Ivan is a much-improved horse and may run into a place. Julius will run, I think, a better horse than most people imagine. Gipsy King will harm his backers more than the book makers. Master Butterfly, by Kettledrum, out of Butterfly, 18 well bred enough for anything, and has been backed for large sums by the public throughout the winter, which is all I can say in his favour. The judge I expect will place VAUBAN 1 MARKSMAN 2 RAKE 3 The Oaks is a mere matter of health for Achievement, and I shall fully anticipate the jujio placing' ACHIEVEMENT HIPPIA . 2 ARA PEIL E A FRESH MAN.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE BOYS. --Air. Macmillan is preparing for publication a new edition of " Tom Brown's School Days," illustrated by Messrs. J. E. Millais and Arthur Hughes. THE CIIA NCELLOHSIIII; OF THE DUCHY OF LAN CASTER, according to the Telelraph, which was offered to Mr. Selwyn, has been declined by that gentleman. Theta remain some doubts as to the mode in which the vacancy will be filled up ; but there is a report that it may be ten dered to Sir Robert Pee!, and that it may be accepted. The Sunday Gazette, however, remarks that no appoint ment to the Chancellorship of the Duchy of Lancaster had been made up to last evening. 201 1.0 100 / at I
