The position of the money market 43 thus commented upon by a local journal : i t Capital is concentrating here, and nothing will give ful 'ne right ki n d o f ac ti v ity an d distribution again but a t hi Lsrld abundant harvest. Fine crops will give every ", g a start, and until the result of the growi ng season 4 ftown money will accumulate in large cities, and a masterly inactivity prevail."

MAJUCP42* Ngpvs--(TiLIS DAz., CORN EXCHANGE. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was very moderate; consequently, the show of samples was small. Although the demand for all kinds was by no means active, factors —owing to the arrival of intelligence that the Rus sians have stopped the export of grain from Galatz—were very firm in their demands. In some instances millers were compelled to pay is per quarter more money for pod qualities, and the value of other kinds was well sup ported. There was a fair average show of foreign wheat ex. granary as well as from ship-board. The amount of busi ness doing in most descriptions was far from extensive, yet last week's currency was well supported. We had some inquiry for floating cargoes for Belgium. The show of barley was but moderate. Most descrip tions sold to a fair extent. In the quotations no change took place. The malt trade wee rather flat, on former terms. The supply of foreign oats was large ; although a good business was transacted in that grain, prices were barely supported. There was a moderate demand for beans, at very full currencies. Peas, the supply of which was limited, realised extreme rates. The flour trade was steady, but no change took place in the quotations. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts were rather limited, and there was a slight falling off in their condition. From the fact that a demand has sprung up for shipment to France—about 100 beasts having been sold last week for that destination, and about 50 head this morning —the beef trade ruled very brisk, at an advance in the prices paid on Monday last of from 6d to 8d per 81bs. The best Scots sold readily at 5s per 81bs, and a good clearance Was effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,700 Scots and short horns; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds; from Scotland, 500 Scots; and from Ireland, by sea, 100 beasts. We were but moderately supplied with sheep, in very middling condition. The mutton trade was in a most excited state, from the causes to which we have just alluded, and the currencies were from 8d to 10d per 81bs higher than on this day s'ennight. The best old Downs, out of the wool, sold freely at fully 5s 6d per 81b9. Lambs were in moderate supply and brisk, at 6d. per 81bs above the rates of ,Monday last. The top figure was Vs 4d per 81bs.

There was a moderate business doing in wheat in most of the country markets held on Saturday, yet scarcely any change took place in the quotations. The barley trade ruled inactive, on former terms. Other kinds of spring corn, including flour, realised fall prices. The latest advices from New York state that both grain and flour were in improved request, and that the latter article was somewhat dearer. Most of the Conti nental markets are firm, at enhanced quotations. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. The imports from abroad were 34,697 qrs. of wheat, 3,305 barley, 38,659 oats, 4,524 beans, 1,036 pease, 53 tares, 5,340 linseed, 1,514 rapeseed, 72 mustard seed ; 56 sundry seeds, 2,811 sacks and 767 barrels of flour. NEWGATE AND LEADENIIALL. Since our last report an active demand has been experi enced for beef, mutton, lamb, ani veal, the prices of which have advanced fully 2d per 81bs. The pork trade, from the season being over, has ruled dull. The supplies of meat here to-day were very moderate. ~., Per Blbs by the carcase. B. d. s. d.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco.) HARGRAVES V. HAYES. Mr. Millword applied to set aside an order of Mr. Justice Erle, made at chambers, for the arrest of the defendant, on the ground—first, that the affidavit on which the order was made was bad on the face of it. The affidavit stated that the defendant was " justly and fairly indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of 251. 6s. 6d., balance of account for railway stock and shares sold by him to the defendant," but did not state "delivered," as required in accordance to law and the rule of the Court ; secondly, that the affidavit, which stated it was an affidavit in the cause, was wrong, because it was dated the day before the issue of the writ, and, conse quently, there could be no jurisdiction when the cause was not in court ; and thirdly, the terms of the act were that the affidavit should state a belief the defendant was about to leave the country, unless " forthwith appre hended," which he had omitted to do. The Court were unanimously of opinion the order could not be set aside on the grounds stated by the learned counsel, and refused the application. PALCER V. NOTT AND ANOTHER. Mr. Unthank showed cause against a rule obtained for a writ of prohibition against the Judge of the County Court of Middlesex, to prohibit his further proceeding in the case, and the question turned on that clause of the County Court Act which excluded from the juris diction of County Court judges all questions of title. This was an action of trespass, and it appeared from the learned counsel's statement that the property in ques tion consisted of a small wooden tenement built on some land adjoining Bow-road, the whole of which bad been for years the property of Bow, in right of his rec tory, in whose possession it had been for a considerable number of years, and had been held by persons under lease from him and previous rectors. for more than 50 years. About Nov., 1854, the defendants Nott and Tipper got an old woman named Palmer, who was al most in eitremis, to execute a will in their favour, giving and devising all her real and personal estates whatsoever and wheresoever to the defendants for the payment of two legacies of 1001. each. Being in that condition they bad to discover where the property was situated out of which to get their legacies, and they went to the plaintiff who held their property, from a person named Watkins who had a lease from the rector (and who, the defendants in their affidavits said they were informed by the late Mrs. Palmer, held between her and the rector), and in formed him that as his time expired at Christmas if he wished to continue in possession he must then and there sign an unsealed document, purporting to be a lease, which he did, on which Nott required him to pay a shil ling, but not having one Nott took one from his pocket, put it on the table, and took it up again. At Christmas the rector of Bow made arrangements for the continu ance of the tenantcy, on which the defendant put in a distress, removed the goods and sold them, and for which the action was brought in the County Court, where the defendants without producing any documents or proving receipt of rent set up their claim of title to the property. The County Cou'rt Judge, however, heard the cause, and held that their obtaining the document in question was a fraud, and that the plaintiff was entitled to recover. The learned coun sel contended the question of title never came into con sideration, and that the County Court judges had no jurisdiction in the case. The Court, however, considered that the question of title rested on something more than statements, and that the prohibition must issue. ST. LEONARD'S, SHOREDITCH, V. THE GUARDIANS OF ST. LUSE'S. Mr. Pashley, Q.C., showed cause against a rule calling on the guardians of St. Luke's, to show cause wby a mandamus should not issue against them command ing them to repay to the parish of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, , the sum of 911. 16s,- the amount of fees paid for registering the births and deaths at the de fendant's workhouse, which was situated in the parish of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch. After hearing the learned counsel at some length on the various local acts with reference to the workhouse and the general acts for the support of the poor and the registration of births and deaths, the Court directed the rule to be made absolute.

The Lord Chief Baron, in giving the judgment of the Court in this case, said it arose upon a motion for. a new trial upon the ground that the plea set up was proved by admissions given in evidence. The action was brought upon a bond or condition for the payment of a um of money. The foundation of the transaction was that the plaintiff, being a major in a regiment in the East India Company's service, agreed to relinquish his position or situation in the regiment (but be was to con tinue major in the army generally), by which means the j-unior officers in the regiment would attain a step higher in promotion, and these gentlemen agreed to give him a certain sum of money as a consideration for so doing, the defendant undertaking to secure it to him by bond. When, however, the bond was asked for, the defendant pleaded the transaction pretty much as he (the Chief Baron) had stated it, and contended that the agreement on his part was illegal, and that he was not bound to pay the money. At the trial the admissions were put in, and the learned judge, who presided, thought these admissions did not prove the plea, and some doubt was entertained by him that, supposing they did, the plea itself was no answer to the action. There had been a demurrer to the plea as a traverse. The learned judge thought the plea not proved, upon which an application was made to the court for a new trial, and a demurrer was entered, and both came before the court last Wednesday. The plea professed to be founded upon the East India Company's Act, but it did not make mention of the 49th Geo. HI., c. 126, by which, generally, the sale of all offices was prohibited, with some few exceptions, and by which also the resignation of an office for a pecuniary consi deration was rendered illegal. The court had con sidered the case, and were all of opinion that the trans action was illegal, as stated in the plea, and so far the plea was an answer to the action, but there must be a new trial for the purpose of enabling the defendant to take the opinion of the jury as to whether the plea was proved or not. Assuming, however, the plea to be proved, the Court were of opinion that the plaintiff was not entitled to recover, and that the defendant was entitled to judg ment on what came before them on the demurrer. It appeared to him that this transaction was nothing more nor less than giving to a person who held a situation under the India Company a pecuniary consideration to leave the service, or to resign his position. The major of a regiment was in a different position from a mere major in the army unattached, and although it was con tended that this giving up of his majority did not alter his position at all, it seemed to the Court to be a great mistake. The plaintiff undertook to relinquish his ma jority in the regiment, and in his (the Chief Baron's) opinion, the pecuniary consideration tendered a promise to him for that purpose was illegal--he thought it was a resignation within the meaning of the Act of Parlia ment which pronounced it to be illegal. The Lord Chief Baron having pointed out the mischief which would arise in the public service if these transactions were permissible by law, cited several cases bearing upon the question before the Court, and in con clusion said that under the circumstances he had men tioned, the judgment of the Court upon the demurrer would be for the defendant, and in regard to the appli cation for a new trial the rule must be made absolute. Judgment accordingly. Mr. Baron Parke sat at Nisi Prius front this court in the Lords' Justices Room, and proceeded to take a partly-heard case, Price v. Richards, involving an action upon a disputed' engineer's account, and it was expected to occupy the whole of the day. ROLLS COURT. CLikItIC V. PENWICK -JUDGMENT. The Master of the Rolls gave judgment this morning in this case, which was argued before him for three days last week. The bill was filed against the defendants, the trustees of the estate of the late Mr. Addison Fen wick, of Sunderland, for the purpose of setting aside a sale made by them of certain property, which was in the possession of the testator at the time of his death. The plaintiffs are infants, who were represented in the suit by their next friend, and by their bill they contended that the sales ought to be set aside on the ground of the inadequacy of the price given ; that they were re pugnant to the provisions of the testator's will, and that it was against all rules of equity for a trustee to sell to himself. The testator, who was a man of considerable wealth, was the owner of large breweries in Sunderland and Chester-le•Street, also of an extensive glass house in Sunderland, and property called the Deptford Brewery Estate. He died as far back as 1842, and by his will he vested the whole property in his brothers as trus tees, declaring that if they were desirous, or should think it expedient to carry on any or all of his trade they should be at liberty to do so upon paying such sums of money as competent valuers should fix 'for them. Upon the testator's death valuers of undoubted ability and _________— honour were appointed, who set a value upon the pro perty, and that valuation was sought to be set aside cn the ground that the parties purchasing had appointed the valuers themselves, and that the consideration was inadequate. His Honour, after going at considerable length into the case, stated his opinion to be that the sales that bad taken place, with the exception of the Deptford Brewery property, were such as the Cow t would countenance and ought not to be disturbed. With respect to the Deptford Brewery, that was a sale that could not be supported, as it was, in fact, a sale by a trustee to himself. - Under these circumstances, his Honour would pronounce a decree dist:hissing the bill as far as it sought to impeach the sale of the Chester-lc street and the Sunderland Breweries, and the Glass house property, at t h e same time directing an inquiry whether it would b e f or the benefit of the infant plain "'ifs to confirm or disturb thesale of the testator's moiety in the Deptford property, the costs to be the same as in an administrative suit. SPORTING NOTES. ANTICIPATIONS ABOUT ASCOT. Expectations have been indulged that the Ascot Meeting would be dreary and uninteresting. The ab sence of the Court was talked about, -whilst the seeming scanty supply of sport caused book-makers to entertain doubts whether they would be enabled to pursue their calling with profit and effect. The prospect is, however, brightening. It is announced that the Queen and Prince Albert will be present, and, judging by the stabling engaged, the fields are not likely to be so small, nor the racing so unimportant, as was antici pated. That "shortcomings " are displayed in the programme is undeniable ; still they are not of a nature to excite uneasiness as to the popularity of the gather ing. The causes to which they may be,traced are too well known to require indication. The Trial Stakes closed on Saturday with six nomi nations, Despite the " saving clause," which places an extra 9 lbs. on both Coroner and King of Trumps, I shall expect to see those horses first and second. My pre ference is for the young 'un. The Welcome Stakes seems likely to be reduced to a match between Para and Flatterer, and the horse will perhaps first catch the eye of Judge Clark. Towards the close of last week Mortimer was placed " under suspicion" for the Ascot Stakes. The suc cess of his stable companion, Saucebox, at Manchester, has apparently renewed the confidence of his partisans. If well and meant Mortimer will indubitably be a dan gerous antagonist. The animals which he will encounter are certainly not of a very superior stamp, and this cir cumstance, coupled with the consideration of his Ches ter running, is sufficient to sustain the expectations of his backers. Hungerford is much fancied, and has been supported with spirit ; still I deem him somewhat too heavily weighted. If public running afford any criterion of ability, then Quince, who will meet Hungerford on 9 lbs. better terms than at Northampton, ought to be capable of making the old horse "safe," and of taking a prominent part in the encounter. Ireland's Eye is favourab:y weighted, and Wells is "on the muzzle" to ride him. The distance, however, com pels me to hesitate before placing confidence in him. Of Hospodar I entertain no expectations, because, how ever leniently he may be handicapped, I deem him in capable of staying over a mile. Despite the support conceded to Vandal, I have but slender faith in his racing ability. Of the three-yr-olds, indeed, lam induced to believe that the Sailor will prove the most formidable. Biuebeard is an outsider entitled to notice. lam fully prepared to see him run forward. Pantomime is, it is said, "intended" for this event, and that his party are in earnest. The recollection of the trick which was played with him at Shrewsbury last autumn compels me to regard him with suspicion. The three animals, indeed, which I am inclined to select against the field are BLUEBEARD, MORTIMER, AND QUINCE. Rataplan has inturred so many penalties that I am in clined to doubt his ability to carry off the Vase. Tumb ler, Fandango, and Oulston are likely to contest the prize. The race will, in my opinion, be between the two first mentioned ; and at present I am induced to make election in favour of the Tumbler. Unless Aurifer possess racing merit which the public " wot not of," Hazel will doubtless carry off the Asco Derby. Habena will win the Triennial Stakes, and thereby show how unjustifiable was the scratching of her for the Oaks. The Triennial Stakes for two-year-olds will perhaps bring out Fly-by-night and Pohnoodie, animals that have already been heavily backed for next year's Derby. The only information to be gathered respecting them is (derived entirely from "hearsay," and the respective partisans of the two youngsters are equally sweet. My inclination leans towards Polinoodie. He would be a bold man who would attempt to indicate the absolute winner of the Royal Hunt Cup. The following "lot " comprises the animals which I con sider handicapped on advantageous terms :—Nabob, Hospodar, Epaminondas Pumicestone, Exile of Erin, Vanderdecken, Octavia, Flatterer, Catspaiv, and Pal merston. The three which I may be inclined to stand on are Nabob, Hospodar, and Exile of Erin. Queen's Head will doubtless place the Fern Hill Stakes to Mr. Howard's account. The 15 Sovs. Sweep stakes I assign to Noisy, and the Triennial for 4 yr olds to Bribery. For the Coronation Stakes I shall select Rambling Katie. I shall reserve the items on Thursday's and Friday's list for discussion on Wednesday. Some uncertainty exists at present whether Virago will run for the Cup, and an opinion prevails that she is a confirmed " roarer." Be this as it may, I shall place my entire confidence in Rataplan.

ALARMING STEAM -BOAT COLLISION IN THE RIVER. Yesterday afternoon an accident, of a rather al arm i ng nature, but which was providentially unattended with any serious consequences, occurred to one of the " Citizen " river boats at Putney-bi idge. She left Cadogan pier about half-past three o'clock, with a living freight of human beings, to the number of between two hundred and three hundred persons, the majority of whom were bent upon enjoying the lovely sunshine in the neighbourhood of Kew and Richmond ; and ran fairly with the tide, the current of which was swiftly flowing, without the occurrence of any untoward incident, until she arrived at the point we have mentioned. There is, as every one is aware, but one arch under Putney -bridge, which is commonly used for steam-boat traffic—indeed it is the only one which is available, and nearly ahead of it on the other side• a mass of heavy piles has been driven into the river as a portion of a series of large wooden platforms intended to be made use of in the erection of a new bridge. To avoid coming in contact with these, as they are only a few yards in advance after passing under the arch at the best of times must, we should imagine, render very careful and skilful navigation necessary, but when the tide is running up the difficulty of bringing a boat round to answer the helm in time to keep clear is obvi ously increased. Just as the Citizen boat was emerging from the arch, her speed being very swift, it became evident to some of those on deck that a collision with the piles was inevitable, and in a few seconds their fears were verified by a violent crash, the falling of the heap of piles downwards into the river, and the splintering of the paddle-box. The consternationwhich prevailed amongst all on board, particularly the ladies, can be better ima gined than describ e d. A ge n era l rus h was ma de by all in different directions, and it was with some difficulty that the captain 'succeeded in inducing them to remain still, and assuring them that there was no danger. The impression at first was that the boat was sinking, but happily the extent of the injury she had sustained proved, upon examination, to be only the smash of her p a ddl e _ box, and the disabling of the paddle. The steam was shut off by the engineer directly he felt the shock, and the anchor having been let go the vessel swung round to the tide and rode safely in the centre of the river until another boat came up and took them off to their desti nation.

The long-promised new opera, Bel to ; or the Gnome of Hartzbu rg , b y Mr. Henry Smart, was produced a t thi s theatre, on Saturd a y even i ng, w i t h most sigcal success. The libretto is from the pen of Fitzball, and the com poser has made good use of the materials furnished him. The plot of the opera is simple. It is as follows : Michael (Hr. S. Reeves), a young forest ranger, is deeply in love with Berta, a village co que tt e , an d , al though sh e l oves him in return, she, acting on the caprice of h er sex, raises a quarrel with her betrothed, rejects his company to the fair, and finally informs him she will never marry him until he is Baron of Hartz burg. The real Baron (Mr. Weiss), who some years ago left the place, after his life had been saved by Michael, returns incognito, and determines to cure Berta of her coquetry. He affects love for her himself, and gets poor Michael into all manner of difficulties, which create the desired effect on Berta. The Baron enters int• a compact with Michael, who, in order to obtain the hand of Berta, agrees to anything, and the Baron after being the means of Michael being accused of robbery, gives him a letter to free himself from the stigma which declares him to be the rightful Ba7en of Hartzburg, but the condition on which he receives the paper is, that be is not to marry Berta. The trick of the letter having been discovered by the Burgomaster, he arrives with the villagers to unmask the imposture, and salute the real person. Michael is arrested, and th e B aron of Hartzburg offers his hand to Berta, as a ransom for Mi wahni d e h he Be here rta ofch a th el e . o P e o ea o s r i ß on e . rta l c n on o s r e d n e t r s, to an e d ffe a e f t e h te ie is e g ee iv a e p n e, in ju h ioenhoauelr h h a a s s fi to :di) a t s o s t e h e r ea o u p g e h f t r h o e m apartments lh i n n g, overhears h er con f ess h er l ov e f or hi m while sleepin g .

Val debt of gratitud life—to Mi c h ae l , and all ends happile —the saving of his y. The opera of B erta is a composition of a very high order, in it we.have expressive melody, skilful construc tion, and rich in varied instrumentation. The introduc tion, with the legend of the Gnome King, sang by Mr. Sims Reeves cannd Toedintermi with th e chorus of villagers, is exceedingffctive. rt in the third scene is also a beautiful composition, and richly merited the applause it received. The gems of the opera are Be song, " Oh, is it not a pleasant thing," Michael's two ballads, "In vain I would forget thee," and " Sad was the hour." The execution of the opera was in every respect ad mirable for its completeness. Mrs. Sims Reeves, no doubt owing to her recent illness, was scarcely up to " Philharmonic pitch," but Mr. Reeves and Mr. Weiss sung splendidly. The opera has been put upon the stage in a manner which reflects the highest credit upon the management, and will no doubt fully repay the trouble and expense occasioned in its production. It was an. nounced for repetition amidst the loudest applause. The house was crowded in every part long before the rising of the curtain. THE CITY OF LONDON THEATRE. This theatre has great claims to public patronage ; the pieces selected are always of a superior order, and placed on the stage in a most perfect and correct manner. The spirited 'engagement of Mr. Charles Mathews will afford the eastern part of London a theatrical treat as great 'as unexpected. There is no actor on the British stage so calculated to draw an audience as Mr. C. Mathews, and most deservedly so, for his talent is of the first order. Messrs. Johnson and Nelson Lee will doubtless meet with the reward of their energy in catering for the mil lion. Monday next is the commencement of this levia than engagement. The opening pieces selected are "A. Game of Speculation " and " Patter versus Clatter," in both of which Mr. Charles Mathews cannot be ap proached. He will appear in his great part of Sir Charles Coldstream, in " Used up," on Tuesday. This distinguished comedian will be supported throughout the engagement by Miss Eliza Arden, from the Lyceum and Drury-lane Theatres, Miss Sarah Lewis, from the Surrey Theatre, Mr. William Searle, and the principal members of the City Company. Particular attention is to be paid to the mire-en -scene, and everything done to render to the various productions their original splendour. Reserved seats will be introduced, but the general prices are not to be raised, which will afford an oppor tunity of witnessing this favourite of royalty and great artiste without a journey to the west. A number of private boxes are already secured. We wish the specu lation success. THE ROYAL PANOPTICON. The latest novelty at this admirable institution is an excellent dioramic illustration of the recent eruption of Vesuvius, in which all the details of this terrific convul sion are reproduced with startling effect and marvellous fidelity. In a brief introductory lecture, Mr. Leicester Buckingham gives a clear and succinct explanation of the nature of volcanic agencies, the mode of their opera tion, and the part which is assigned to them in the vast scheme of creation, demonstrating that the benevolenne of the Almighty is apparent even in these tremendous manifestations of His power. To this is added a sum mary of some of the most remarkable of these volcanic phenomena, and a graphic sketch of the late eruption gives additional interest to the pictorial illustration. This diorama forms an agreeable and appropriate ap pendage to Mr. •Buckingham's lecture on " Life in Pom peii," which apparently continues unabated in its attral tion. After dwelling uponthe interest w hi c h attaches to the study o f classical manners, and the abundant faci lities which the discoveries at Pompeii have afforded for the pursuit of such investigations,Mr. Buckingham gives a brief sketch of the history and topography of that buried city, and then, transporting his auditors to the days of its ancient glory, describes the construction of Pompeian dwellings, and the daily life of their inmates —touching in turn upon their out-door life, their baths, their ban quets, their theatrical amusements; and their cos tume, and agreeably interspersing his narrative with many amusing contrasts between the manners of ancient times and those of modern days. The dioramic views which illustrated this lecture, embracing restorations of many of the most prominent edifices of Pompeii, are admirably chosen, and of a very high order of excel lence, and the gratification of the public at the entire entertainment is ever heartily manifested at its close. The other attractions of the Panopticon still continue undiminished—the Scenes of the War in the Crimea, the Scientific Lectures, the Gigantic Electrical Machine, and the Grand Organ, all afford high satisfaction, and the Luminous Fountain, with its sparkling showers of many-coloured gems, occupies a position confessedly unique among all the metropolitan exhibitions. LORD JOHN RUSSELL AND JEWISH DISABILITIES. It may be recollected that Lord Palmerston has re cently been interrogated by Mr. Duncombe in reference to his intentions on the subject of the Parliamentary Oaths question, and that the Premier declined to bring forward "at present" any measure on the subject. Lord John Russell has been addressed on the subject by his constituents, and the following somewhat remarkable reply has been elicited : " Cheshatn-place, 'May 26. " Sir,—l did not answer your former letter of the 19th inst., as I wished to take some time to consider the posi tion of affairs as it regarded the privileges of the Jews. It appears to me that while the friends of religious liberty are unchanged in their opinion respecting the disabilities of the Jews, the majority of the House of Lords are likewise un changed in their opinion, that the removal of those dis abilities may be safely refused. The Government in these circumstances would be only throwing away time in at tempting to carry a measure which one house of Parliament is sure to reject. Many liberal members of Parliament, while they would support a motion to relieve the Jews from their disabilities, would consider as inopportune a question which would not advance the object to be attained. I must, therefore, consider that it would be inexpedient to stir the question of Jewish emancipation in the present session of Parliament. That claims so just can be permanently re jected I will not believe. But the friends of intolerance naturally cling to this last vestige of religions persecution, and exult in the facility with which the exclusion of a body not formidable in numbers can be maintai ned.—I r ema i n, sir, your obedient servant, J. RUSSELL. " Sidney Smith, Esq." MR. DISRAELI.
