NEW MEMBER, Mr. CARDWELL, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, took the oaths and his seat on his re-election for the City of Oxford. The right hon. gentleman was introduced by Sir George Lewis and Mr. Brand. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The L or d s ' amendments to the Eastern Counties Railway Bill and the Kilkenny Junction Railway Bill were considered 411(1 agreed to. • DEEDES moved the following, to be added to standing order 162 :—When in any bill a provision is in serted authorising any company to subscribe towards or to guarantee or to raise any money in aid of the undertaking of another company (which bill is not brought in by the company so authorised, or of which such com pany is not a joint romoter), proof shall be required before the examiner that the company so authorised has consented to such subscription, guarantee, or raising of shares in such c om pany, held specially for that , Ftir P° Bo ) in the same manner and subject to the same provisions as the meeting directed to be held under stand ing order 162, and that such consent was given by such Proprietors, present in person or by proxy, holding at least three-fourths of the ordinary paid-up capital of the com- Pany represented at such meeting, such proprietors being 'P l anned to vote at the meeting in right of such capital ; and that the notices for the bill state the sum authorised to be subscribed, or guaranteed or raised, and also state that the consent of the company has been given as aforesaid. In 111 Y case in which such consent has been given, it shall not be necessary to submit the bill, in respect of such pro !Ilion as aforesaid, to the approval of a meeting to be beld In accordance with standing order 162. That the said orders b e standing orders of this house. And to alter standing order 163, by inserting "standing order 162 or" after the Ward "of" in line 4 of that order. CO. FRENCH and Mr. LOCKE objected to the addi tion to the clause. NEWDEGATE considered the resolution proposed Was desirable, and illustrated his views by reference to his Personal experience in regard to public companies. Mr. HENLEY agreed with the last speaker, and con.i dered that the house :would be doing a public service by a ssenting to the amendment proposed. After some further conversation the motion was agreed to. COMMITTAL OF THOMAS CARTER. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that he had been asked a ques ion in respect to a person named Thomas Carter, who had been imprisoned in the Isle of Wight as ,a vagrant. He had received a communication from the committing magistrate, to the effect that he had directed the report of the evidence to be forwarded to the Home office, but it had not yet been received. The magistrate also stated that the conviction had been made on the evidence of some Police constables who had seen him wandering about Ryde, and who stated that he had seriously frightened two Young women in the neighbourhood. EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA. Colonel FRENCH inquired of the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies by whose sanction the rule had been Made at the Emigration-office that passages to Australia Vould be given to English and Scotch men, bat not to the Mr. FORTESCUE said that there was no such rule as that implied by the question. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT. • Sir J. SHELLEY inquired whether the Government Wended to adopt the recommendations contained in the report of the Thames Embankment Commissioners, as re garded the line of embankment proposed to be taken ; and Whether they intended to appoint another commission for te Purpose of carrying out the work ; and, if not, to what dy they proposed to entrust the construction of the em bankment. Mr. COWPER said that the Royal Commission had just Made a report, in which they recommended a plan for the embankment of the Thames, which would provide, with a due regard to public and private interests, in a more efficient Manner than any previously, and Government proposed to adopt it. The commissioners had also recommended the appointment of a special commission to superintend the carrying out of the works, but the Government did not in tend to comply with that recommendation, as the parties Who paid the coal duties were desirous that the Works should be under local control, and it was not deemed desirable to create new authorities when those already in existence were adequate to discharge their functions. (Hear, hear.) In the bill which he intended to introduce next session, he proposed that the power of seei ng til e engineering works carried out be intrusted to the M etropolitan Board of 'Works. INDICTABLE OFFENCES (METROPOLITAN) BILL. On the motion of Mr. WALPOLE, The order for going into committee on this bill was dis charged, and the bill was withdrawn. LUNACY REGULATION BILL. ? r t the motion for going into committee on this bill, 41 '. WALPOLE appealed t 3 the right hon. gentleman the Rome Secretary not to proceed with the bill, Wil * he contended, contained most objectionable clauses. 4111. • BRISCOE urged the adoption of the appeal, and argued that the bill which had come from the Lords had been brought under the notice of the house at a period too late for Sirits ample discussion. It G' C. LEWIS said that the bill consisted of two parts. st related to the simplification of the law in regard to ti r,P °l 'er classes of the lunatics, and had been prepared to '" great ca re b y th e l a t e L or d Ch an cellor. With regard the other part it related entirely to the compen sation to be given to the two medical inspectors, one of wham was 80 and the other 77 years old, and it was 14. °Pesed to give them one half of their salary. He trusted 11°t Withstandin g the objections that the house would con sider the bill which had the object of amending the exist law, DEEDES and Mr. HENLEY opposed the bill. Colonel FRENCH moved that the house go into cora raittee this day three months. Mr. BOVILL seconded the amendment and said that the bill as altered by Government was entirely at variance With the views of the Lord Chancellor who had paid great attention to the preparation of the Lill. A great principle Was involved in this bill, for it proposed to restore to medi cal inspectors the power of having private practice, which had been condemned by the late Lord Chancellor and the House of Lords. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL defended the bill, and contended that if it was not now passed the effect would be to paralyse the power of the Lord Chancellor in regard to lunatics until next session. The effect of not passing this bill would be to retain in office two medical inspectors who Were physically disqualified for the due performance of their duties. The amendment was carried without a division. COPYRIGHT OF DESIGNS BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill NI ere considered and Feed to. THE VOLUNTEER FORCE. Lord ELCHO said he was anxious to have some infor mation as to the manner in which the supplemental vote Wa s to be disposed of. The Volunteer financial year was aoout commencing, and it was desirable to know what ,111:4 ci a mount was to be devoted to drill. From information he from the Under - Secretary he heard that Government 4 5 done its best for drill instruction. As he believed that 4 tl the details of the plan were not settled, he thought it Would be better in the present state of affairs not to press fo r an answer. On the part of the Volunteers he thanked t he Government for the assistance which had already been re ndered. Sir G. LEWIS said that this vote consisted of two parts, il atoely, £lO,OOO for adjutants and £20,000 for drill-ser teante. The latter vote was only for six months, repro sAo,ooo for the year. The vote had only been a Peed to for a short time, and there had not yet been sitf geieut time to consider the mode of expenditure. THAMES EMBANKMENT. Sir J. SHELLEY said he did not think the Metropolitan 13 0 a ll of Works was the proper instrument for carrying the Thames embankment under the direction of the c ' v erurnent. . Iv. l lr. HOPE pro t es t e d ag ainst the Metropolitan Board of ° r ll .B having any discretion in the matter. All he knew of t he Board was that they were constantly sending him in : ; „ te al while he saw nothing of their works, except the mag leant palace they had built for themselves in Spring- Rard ens. 1 3, 411 % COWPER said he hoped the south side of the a nles would be embanked, but he thought that in the fist • Ihstance it would be sufficient to commence with one aide. L 0 rd PERMOY contended that the Board of Works I: au ld have control, not only over the expenditure of the 11". el leY, but over the plans. . Af ter some further discussion the bill was read a third t I Te and passed. the following bills were read a third time and passed :*-- 48t India Loan (No. 2), Militia Pay, Militia Ballots I,7l.!Pension, Wills and Domicile of British Su b jects Abroad , P °f Personalty by British Subjects, Corrupt Practices 7 en tion Act (1854) Continuance, Statute Law Revision Pclitan Police District Receiver, Parochial Offices, eal Government Supplemental (No. 2 ) , G overnm e nt of 6 114° Y, and Volunteers' Toll Exemption (No. 3). 0 134, NKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENC Y BILL. 110 n tbe motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, the li i ii ii se agreed to the Lords' amendments to the Bankruptcy T he house adjourned at 25 minutes before 4.

There is a very quiet demand for money, and the rates for the best bills now range as low as 5 per cent. An early reduction in the minimum of the Bank of England is consequently anticipated. A large supply of gold, viz., £115,000, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. No material alteration took place in the Foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Gold is now about 5-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and 9-10ths per cent. higher here than in Hamburg. At the meeting of the proprietors of the English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank, a divi dend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum was agreed to. Less activity prevails in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but priees were steadily sup ported. The sales were 8,000 bales. The directors of the Electric and International Telegraph Company have issued their report for the past half-year, which states the profits at £33,733, from which a dividend of 3f per cent. is recom mended, leaving £4,757 to be added to the renewal fund, which will then amount to £36,360. There has been a buoyant market for Public Se curities to-day, a rise of f per cent. having taken place. A favourable effect has been produced by the easiness of money, and the encouraging accounts from the agricultural districts. The speculators have been induced to make a few purchases, and the quotations have tended upwards in conse quence. Consols were 90 90f for money, and poi I for the account. The New 'Threes have improved to 904 ; the Reduced to 898 901 ; but Exchequer Bills, March, are flat at 12s. to 7s, dis. ; ditto June, 4s. to 3s. dis. Bank Stock remains at 230 232; and India 5 per Cents. at 991 I ; and the New Loan Scrip at 100}. _ _ Very little business has been recorded in the Foreign Stock Market, but prices generally show an upward tendency. Turkish 6 per Cents. have improved to 78i 79; ditto, 1858, to 671 4 ; but the 4 per Cents. are flat at 1011 ; Peruvian remain at 971 ; and Sardinian have advanced to 79 ; Spanish Deferred have receded to 41i. The operations in the Railway Share Market have been on a very restricted scale, and prices have shown a farther slight depressi ni in several in stances. Great Westerns and North Eastern, York, declined ss. ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s.; and North Eastern (Berwick), 155.; Lanca shire and Yorkshire improved ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines were flat at about previous quotations. For Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there has been scarcely any demand. Bank of Australasia have improved 58., and Union of Lon don, 55.; Crystal Palace Stock has declined to 32, and Peninsula and Oriental Steam New Shares realised 40. BRITISH FUNDS--CLOSING PRICES.

THE PRICE OF GOLD The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.374 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 5-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 428 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.8) per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 9-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is iCei to 107 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England. But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present rate loves no profit on sending gold to the United States. DEATH OF GENERAL J. SWINBURNE.—GeneraI John Swinburno, who died on the 27th inst., in the 73d year, served at the siege of Copenhagen and the campaign of 1808 in Portugal, and was wounded in the head on the retreat to Vigo. DEATH OF SIR A. J. LARPENT.—We have to announce the death of Sir Albert John de Hochepied Lar pent, Bart., which occurred on his passage from Calcutta to London. Tho deceased was the son of the first baronet, who was for many years a merchant and East India agent, and for a short period a representative in the House of Com mons for the borough of Nottingham. Sir Albert is suc ceeded in the baronetcy by his son George Albert, a youth 15 years of age. THREE PERSONS KILLED BY LIGHTNING. —A severe thunder storm visited the East Riding of Yorkshire on Saturday last. At Eck, a village three miles from Beverley, a man named Watson Patrick and three of his children were engaged in a field hoeing turnips. They sought refuge from the rain under a wide-spreading tree. There the whole party were struck by lightning. Patrick, his son Joseph, aged nine, and his daughter, Bessy, aged 13, were killed on the spot. The third child, a girl, aged 12, was stunned, and lay in a state of insensibility for some time. On recovering her senses she was able to crawl on her hands and knees to a neighbouring Muse and inform the in mates of what had happened. An inquest was held yester day, when a verdict was returned of " Accidental death." TRAMWAYS IN THE METROPOLITAN DISTRICTS. — The local authorities of Southwark have granted permission for the laying down a double line of street rails along the Waterloo, Borough, Blackfriars, London, Westminster bridge, and New Kent-roads, Newington-causeway, Stones end, and Blackman-street. The authorities of Westminster have given an opinion unfavourable to the extension of the Victoria-street tramway over Westminster -bridge to unite with the before -mentioned line. The line along the Ux bridge-road is about to be removed. The vastly of Islington have sanctioned a tram wa y a l ong the New North-road, but no operations have yet been commenced.

(Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEALS.-ZrDGMENTS. LEIGH HUNT v. WEBSTER-WEBSTER V. LEIGH HUNT. The farther hearing of these appeals from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Kindersley making two re• tired trustees liable for the loss of a trust fund, sold out, and new trustees appointed by the tenant for life, and ordering them to pay costs, was resumed this morning. The Lord Chancellor, on considering the affidavits and letters produced, which were extremely conflicting and con tradictory, reversed the decree of the Vice-Chancellor in so far as it deals with the cross appeals of Leigh Hunt against Webster ; and in so far as it relates to the third suit of Webster against Leigh Hunt, dismiss the appeal with costs. POLICE INTELLiGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A WATCHMAN.-CURIOUS CAsE.--Joseph Mitchell, employed as a watchman at some works going on in Hyde-park, was charged with stealing some pieces of wood. Pendrill, 559 A, said that yesterday evening about nine he was in Hyde-park, and saw the prisoner near a tempo rary stable. After watching him a short time, he saw him take up the wood, and on charging hin. with it he said it was of no value. Simon Joseph Cosgrove, foreman to Mr. Tennant, builder, said they had works going on at Hyde-park and Kensington-gardens. There was a quantity of wood lying about. It was of no value. Prisoner had charge of the place, and he told him not to let any one take the wood away. Inspector Holden said there were 12f sovereigns found on the prisoner. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it must be an indiscretion to have such a man as a watchman over valuable property. The foreman said he could put no value on the wood, but no one had a right to take it. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should send the prisoner to prison for seven days, and his wife could have the money. WESTMINSTER PALACE HOTEL COMPANY. The report of the directors to the eighth half yearly general meeting, on the sth or August, states that the hotel has now been carried on for five months, and they congratulate the shareholders upon the result. The business of the first two months was of course conducted under unfavour able circumstances, the hotel being only partially occupied, and the establishment being necessarily on a full scale; nevertheless, there has been a very satisfactory profit. The profit and loss account embraces the period between the 13th of August and the 30th of Juno last, so far as it relates to that portion of the hotel leased to the India Board, and between the Ist of February and the 30th of June, so far as it relates to the general business of the hotel. The result shows that after paying interest to the 30th of June on the sum of £25,000, tempo rarily borrowed from the bankers of the company, on the security of the company's debentures for that amount, there is a net profit of £4,469 2s. 4d., which, in the opinion of the directors, is very gra tifying. The board have determined, under the powers conferred upon them by the 74th clause of the articles of association, after providing for the payment of interest at the rate of 5 per cent. on moneys paid in anticipation of calls, to set aside out of the profits the sum of £1,221 16s. Bd. as a re serve fund, and out of the balance then remaining, £3,247 ss. Bd., to declare a dividend, with the sanc tion of the shareholders, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 30 h June last, which will be payable on the original shares from the Ist of January last, and on the new shares on and from the dates upon which the deposit and first call were respectively paid, clear of income tax. The claims upon the company, which were under discussion at the time of the last meeting, including that of Mr. Myres for building, have all been arranged, and the prospects of the company for the future are highly encouraging. The hotel appears to give satisfaction to the public, and for a considerable portion of the latter period of the last three months has been quite full. The working expenses of the first half-year have been larger in proportion to the receipts than they may be ex pected to be in future half years, and the direc tors see no reason to doubt that the earn ings will yield a very good return upon the capital. The directors further hope to be able by arrangements at the back portion of the pre mises to economise on the cost of washing and otherwise. Immediately after the last general meet ing the board, acting on the powers then conferred upon them, proceeded to offer to the shareholders the option of subscribing for the 3,000 new shares thereby created. There remain at the disposal of the company 603 of the new shares, for which the board are prepared to receive applications on or before the 31st of August next, when a rateable division will be made amongst the applicants. The total expenditure on capital account to the 30th of June has been £151,647 16s. 9d., and the board are of opinion that the total cost, exclusive of what may be required hereafter for furnishing that portion of the hotel let to the India Board, will be within the amount which the board have powers to raise. 11118 DAY'S SKIPPING.

Lady Blanche made the running at a good pace, followed by the favourite and Jingling Johnny. In ascending the hill Jingling Johnny passed the other two, and took a clear lead, Lady Blanche going on second, with Starlight, East Stanley, and Knight of St. Patrick lying close up. On reaching the distance Lady Blanche was disposed of, and dropped into the rear. East Stanley at the same time joined Jingling Johnny, the pair running abreast to the lawn enclosure, where they were passed by Starlight and Knight of St. Patrick, the former winning in a canter by three lengths, a like distance separating the second and third ; Jingling Johnny fourth.

After one false start, occasioned by the restiveness of Ex press and Xurullo, Peignoir broke away and ran to the distance, the lot left the post in close order, Peignoir having a slight lead, waited upon Express and Tarragona, Xurullo and Coulon lying close up on the lower side. In this way they ran to the centre of the stand, where Custance got upon better terms with the leader, and caught him in the last stride, and won a fine race by a short head, two lengths separating the second and third, and a head the third and fourth. Keane was fifth and Xurullo last, beaten off a long way. Fifty Pounds, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 soya each; 3- yr-olds and u; ,wards, weights for age. The winner to be sold for 4100.

The appearance of the 45 fine competitors as they were seen on the brow of the hill, with the sun shining on their variegated colours, was most imposing. With little or no loss of time, considering the difficulty of getting so large a field of horses together, Mr. M'George despatched them from the post, and when they had got fairly into their places rising the hill the line extended entirely across the course. Billy Dwindles, having a slight lead, made the running, with Croagh Patrick, La Vapour, Man-at-Arms, Umpire, Nativity, Vergiss-moin-nicht, Restes, and Waterwitch forming the front division, the others being headed by Ris ing Sun, Lava, Sherborno, Knight of St. Patrick, and Crater. In this way they ran, as nearly as we could make out, to the distance, where Billy Dwindles was beaten, and gave way to Croagh Patrick, who, with Man-at-Arms, La Vapeur, Sir William, and Cosmopolite closely laid up, car ried on the running to the entrance of the lawn enclosure, where the leading horses were joined by the Knight of St. Patrick and Rising Sun. On reaching the stand Croagh Patrick, Man-at-Arms, and Lord Exeter's colt singled them selves out and run a close and exciting race home, the for mer winning cleverly by a neck, Alan-at-Arms securing the second honours by half a length from Knight of St. Patrick. Rising Sun was fourth, Cosmopolite and Sir William fifth and sixth, side by side, Lava, and La Vapeur finishing the next two. The remainder were pulling up as they passed the post, the last of whom was Thunderbolt, Waterwitch, Ver giss-mein-nicht, General Hesse, and Sporting Life, the for mer of whom pulled up lame, and the latter did not pass the post.

NV— and Mr. S—), after an arduous preliminary struggle with the chef des guides, who would on no account allow us to attempt the ascent with less than seven guides. My companions were determined not to take more than five, and after a very long and stormy discussion they carried their point. Our party then numbered 16—namely, three novices, five quid es, and eight porters carrying provisions as far as the (rands Mulets. It was a beautifully fine morning, and though the baro meter was low our hopes were high, our limbs were strong, and our Alpen stocks trusty; so, turning our backs on the village, we cheerfully wended our way through the hanging woods in which the path commences. For two hours did we toil onwards and upwards through the grateful shade. Then the path, leaving the forest, emerges upon the moraine formed by the beautiful Glacier des Boissons. We skirted this beautiful moraine until we arrived at the head of the glacier; and, as it is necessary to cross it here, our guides made their final arrangements for entering upon the domains of the winter king. Veils, masks, and spectacles were assumed. Two guides went some distance in advance, while we were severally attached by a small but stout ern (1 to one another. Our descent upsii the icc was made with great cant ion, for the midday sun was very powerful, the snow was soft and treacherously concealed the deep crevasses which yawned about us in every direction. Our route lay directly under some mighty precipices of ice, in which were imbedded huge blocks of granite, and here our guides made us hurry as fast as possible. We did not know at the moment the danger we incurred, but within three minutes after we had gained a more secure station a roar and a shock made us pause and look round. One of the enormous masses of stone had become detached by the heat from the face of the ice, and smashed to fragments in its fall, was sweeping the inclined plain we had just crossed, carrying death and destruction in its path. Our next difficulty lay in a crevasse much broader than ordinary, over which a ladder was placed horizontally, from which we inferred that the 'said ladder was to serve as a bridge over the gulf. And so it proved ; creeping cau tiously forward on our hands and knees, and scarcely daring to breathe, we passed over the chasm, which was so deep that we could not see the bottom. Having passed safely over this, the appearance of the Grands Mulets directly above us cheered our flagging energies with the hope of a speedy temporary termination of our toil. Although the sky was all this time quite clear above and around us, the scene below, in the Vale of Chamounix, had assumed a very different appearance Huge masses of menacing clouds were drifting hither and thither; lightning was darting among them, and the growl of the thunder below echoed back the equally awful roar of the avalanche above us. The clouds were rapidly rising, concealing peak after peak of the hills below, and wo strained every muscle to gain our resting-place before the storm reached us. w e breathlessly stumbled through the snow and slipped upon the ice—now on our feet, now on our hands and knees, and occasionally upon less dignifid parts of our persons. Again and again we caught sight of those delusive Grands Mulcts and again and again did we lose them as we wandere through the intricacies of the crevasses and icy hills. A length, just as the first heavy drops of rain warned us that the storm was upon us, we reached the foot of the rocks, and right joyfully did we scramble up to the rude hut which the guides have built upon them. At this moment the clouds below us parted, and the faint sound of the can non at Chamounix announced that the residents there had marked our progress so far on our way. In a short time the storm was raging about us in all its fury. It now snowed heavily, and the lightning and the thunder were awfully grand among these desolate hills. The guides predicted that any further ascent on the morrow would be impracticable, and, as we lay down upon the wet floor to attempt to sleep, our hearts were heavy with fears that all our labour had been in vain. A great improvement, however, had taken place by 4 o'clock next morning. The moon was sinking serenely behind the mountain above us, while a beautiful rosy tint, shooting far up into the heavens, announced that before long the sun would be visible. All was soon bustle and activity among our party. A hasty break fast was swallowed, and at 5 o'clock we cheerfully resumed our work. Again there was not a single cloud in the heavens as high as we stood; but at our feet, filling the vale and stretching along as far as the eye could see, was a dense mass of motionless vapour, looking so smooth and solid that one would have thought it easy to sail upon it from our feet to the utmost horizon. Not a breath of air stirred these masses, but different shades of colour played upon them, like the reflexion upon water of clouds above, while the peals of the high mountains which pierced through the vapour looked like rocky islands in a vast sea. We were compelled to turn our backs upon this beautiful scene, and soon were once more toiling ever upwards, through the snow and over the ice. The snow was not so soft as our guides had apprehended, and walk ing upon it was consequently so much easier. Up to the Grand Plateau, about three hours' ascent from•the Grande Mulets, we managed to get along without much difficulty or any danger, barring the avalanches, the voices' of which we heard frequently, and the white skirts of which we saw occasionally. From this point the ascent becomes more rapid and dangerous. This Grand Plateau is bounded by precipices on every side, save that on which we ascended, and as our guides led the way to a distant corner we were totally at a loss to know how we were to get on. At last we fronted a smooth icy hill, 100 feet high, all but perpendicular, and not showing on its smooth snow-covered surface one crevice or irregularity to enable us to climb up its face. The pickaxes of our guides were soon at work, hewing out rude steps in the ice in a zigzag direction, four or five steps to the right, then as many to the left, for even with the aid of these impromptu stairs it would have been impracticable to ascend in a straight line. We followed with extreme caution, and after long and laborious toil surmounted the difficulty, but only to meet with another, exactly similar, at the end of another plain. We thus clam bered on for hour after hour till we grew faint and it - 17- most began to despair. The air was intensely cold at the height to which we had now attained, and so much rarefied as to cause much suffering to my two companions, but they continued to struggl3 on most manfully. At last, to our extreme delight, after a continued ascent of eight hours, our guides pointed to a huge mound of ice rising before us, and announced it to be the summit. Faint and worn as we were this intelligence inspired us with fresh ardour, and at last we stood cn the highest peak of . the " monarch of mountains," and were repaid by such a view as we can never hope to see again. Round us in every direction were snow-covered hills, giants in themselves, but mere dwarfs compared with our giant. Tier behind tier they rose in a perfect amphitheatre and shot their icy peaks into the azure sky. I cannot attempt to describe the awful sense of silence, solitude, and majesty which the scene ins pred . Not a sign of life was visible except ou r own party ; not a soundus.

We had spent 16 hours in ascending and nine in coming down Mont Blanc. THIS DAPS MAREETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was moderately extensive, and for the most part of fair quality. Good and fi ne samp l es were i n mo d era t e request, at full prices ; but inferior parcels ruled dull, at barely late rates. In foreign wheat—the show of which was rather large— sales progressed slowly, and in retail, on rather easier terms for low descriptions. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a fair extent, at previous currencies. The trade for barley was in a sluggish state, yet no change took place in prices. On the whole the malt trade was steady, but the business doing was far from extensive. Fine oats maintained their value; inferior kinds, how ever, moved off heavily, and prices were with difficulty maintained. Beans and peas were a dull inquiry at drooping cur- rencies. Most kinds of flour were neglected, and American brands were rather cheaper. - ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.
