(Meeting This Day.) BIRTH OF A FRENCH PRINCE. A Special Court of the members of the Common Council was held this morning at the Guildhall, "t 1 consider the propriety of passing a resolution of con gratulation to their Imperial Majesties' the Ei nperor and Empress of the French, upon the auspicious occa sion of the birth of an Imperial Prince." Th. Lord Mayor in the chair. There was a very full atteoadance of the members of the Cuuit. The Lora) MITOII said, he felt certain no a.p.)logy was needed for his calling them together that day, rela tive to the birth of a French prince, especially when they considered the close amity that existed between France and England, and recollected the auspicious visit of their Imperial Majesties to this city. Mr. Deputy Lorr, in moving a resolution in accord ance with the purposes of the meeting, briefly alluded to their Imperial Majesties' visit to this country, and re marked that the health of the Prince was most auspicious being on the eve of peace which ail so ardently desired. He concluded by moving the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Alderman KENNEDY seconded the resolution. A committee was then formed who retired to consider the address. They shortly after returned into court with the address which was real. It referred to their Imperial Maje,ties' visit to the city, and concluded by congratulating them on the auspicious event that had lately taken place. The address' was unabimously agreed to. After which the court broke up. SPORTING NOTES. COMING EVENTS. Metropolitan and provincial turfites will enjoy their Easter week after their own peculiar fashion, and the sport which is provided for them at ,Catterick Bridge, Coventry, and Northampton, will enable them to in dulge their inclination to the top of their bent. Northern sportsmen dnly are likely to assist at the Catterick gathering, the racing not being of sufficient importance to excite general interest. People, however, have no objection to be " sent to Coventry" for two days, be cause they can take the city of Peeping Tom, en route to Northampton. At the last-mentioned town, however, will be celebrated the meeting of the week, and acc)rd ing to the advices which I have this morning received, a large and busy gathering may be calculated upon with certainty. The Subscription Room, at the. George Hotel, will be opened as usual, Fuller Andrews , boldly undertaking to provide the requisite accommodation at his own risk and expense. I trust the patronage which he seeks and deserves will not be withheld from him. The character of the appointed sport has been already rendered familiar to the reader. I shall not, therefore, unnecessarily occupy space by expatiating on the " features" presented by the programme. Although three nominations only are appended to the Trial Stakes, and although the probabilities are that the race will be reduced to a match between Tame Deer and Fisherman, the encounter is likely to be marked by pe culiar interest on account of the running of the above named horses at Lincoln ; where, it will be remembered, Tame Deer beat Fisherman at equal weights ; the former will, however, now meet Fisherman ou 9 lbs. better terms, Mr. Parr's horse having extra weight to carry to exempt him from being claimed for 6001. Fisherman was many pounds better at Warwick than when he ran at Lincoln, and I. shall expect him, should he "perform" on Wednesday, to prove that his running with Tame Deer in February was " all a mistake." The support which Coal Rlack Rose has received for the Earl Spencer's Plate warrants the belief that she will not go for the Stand Plate, but that she will be entirely reserved for the " event" on Thursday. In her absence, therefore, I shall expect to see the Rajah, Com modore Charley, and The Flying Duchess occupy the most prominent places in the race for the Stand Plate. Could I calculate with certainty upon a start I should be inclined to "stand" Merlin and Amorous Boy far the Wbittlebury Stakes. A man need indeed, however, be possessed of second sight to indicate the winner of such a race. The unlucky little King of Trumps heads the list of acceptances for the Nene Stakes. Still the character of his probable opponents seems so insignificant, that he will, doubtless, have little difficulty in pulling through. His most formidable competitors will perhaps be Master Slender and Noisette. I shall exp , ct Qacen's Head to beat Stork for the Racing Stakes. The betting on THE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE STAKES has not been characterised by particular briskness. Still the race is not likely to be devoid of interest. Winkfield has been steadily supported, and I deem him worthy of the trust reposed in him. In Little Davie, however, he will meet a most dangerous opponent. The running of this horse at Liverpool and Warwick is most eatis. factory ; and, although the course is somewhat too severe, yet with his comparatively light weight he will doubtless be enabled to "get home" with the foremost flight of competitors. Of Flatterer I, at present, enter tain no expectations. He, however, seems to rue to be every inch a race-horse, and when not out of his distance, and when really backed by his party) he will be a dangerous animal to stand against. Paletot will, prhapz, run forward, but I doubt his ability to concede 81bs. to B,sika. In Puck's pre tensions I have no faith. The most formilable three years-old is, in my opinion, S.nack, but whether this horse is really intended I am at present unable to deter mine. By the way, I had almost passed over Speed the-Plough, who is certainly entitled t, notice, albeit the course will be too trying for him. The animals which I am induced to select against the field are WINKFIELD, LITTLE DAVIE, and SMACK, my preference being indicated by the order in which I have set down their names. The interest which attaches to E trl Spencer's Plate is deeper than that excited by the Stakes. A most ex. citing race is likely to be occmioned. To select the actual winner is a task too difficult to be attempts]. Cal culating, however, upon a start, I shall take Flamow and LI Victims to represent my interest. 11 - Amnion is said to be a "good thing" for the Al thorp Park Stakes ; but I am disinclined to express a definite opinion on the comparative chances of " dark" horses. For the " Cup" my facy points to Homily. Titormous and Prince's Mixture are the most entitled to notice for the Delapre Handicap. The respective partisans of Fly-by-Night and Yellow Jack seem determined to sustain t'leir opposing interest with spirit. At the Victoria Club on Saturday night renewed hostility sot in against Fly-by• Night, who, it way joe)Fiely remarked, had oh twined the real carrat at last. 100 to 40 was laid three times against him, and at 2 to 1 backers might have been accommodated to any amount. The last mentioned odds would have been taken about Yellow Jack. La Vic time was in much demand for the Chester Cup at 1,000 to 15 and 1,000 to 20, whilst a reported " break down" caused Ariosto to bs " knocked out" of the betting for the City and Suburban Handicap. Some important movements relative t) coming events may be made at Northampton, where backers of horses are likely to be assembled in large numbers. I shall be " amang them taking notes," and should any important demonstration be made, why " faith I'll prent it." March 24. A FRESH MAN. MOVEMENTS IN THE CITY. 2 O'CLOCK P.M. Flatterer has this morning again received powerful support fn. the ; N-rthamptonshire Stakes, and is almost as good favourite as anything. Whether the "demon s• tration" was genuine or not I will not attempt to deter- mine. If Flatterer is really meant, he will be a f.rmi dable opponent. Ariosto has too, received considerable support, and the rumour about his " break down" is said to be "all bash." I, however, have no faith in " bottled up" horses. The opinions which I have given above I am disinclined to alter. A FRESH MAN. LATEST CITY BETTING.—SATURDAY.

CORN EXCHANGE. There was very little business doing in wheat in the l e cling country markets held on Saturday, and prices were rather in favanr of buyers. Fine barley appears to be very scarce i❑ most quarters. The value of that article, therefore, continues very firm. In other kinds of spring sorn, including flour, only a limited business was trans - aztcd. Most of the continental markets continue dull for wheat and other produce. Holders, however, are tolerably firm. Our New York advices bring very little change in prices. The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week, were limited. From abroad we received 7,788 qrs. of wheat, 40 barley, 16,832 oats, 24 beans, 357 tares, 2,882 kaseed, 2,564 rapeseed, 10 sundry seeds, 150 sacks and 10,563 barrels of flour. Fresh up to day a very moderate supply of English wheat came to hand, coastwise and by land carriage. The show of samples of both red and white was therefore limited, though their quality was good. Owing to the holidays the attendance of both town and country millers was small, consequently the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and where sales took place prices ruled from 4s toss per quarter lower than on Mon• day last. With foreign wheat we wero but moderately supplied. The finest qualities were held somewhat firmly, at full quotations ; but the business doing in all kinds was very limited, at barely stationary prices. Floating cargoes of grain were less active. Fine barley was very scarce, and quite as dear al last week. Inferior kinds moved off slowly, at late rates. Malt was tolerably steady, at the late improvement in value. There was a fair show of oats, chiefly foreign. On_the whole, the demand was steady, at last week's quotations. We had a fair demand for beans, at late rates. The sup ply was moderate. Peas changed hands slowly, yet prices were supported. We had a dull sale for flour, and country marks were ra ther easier to purchase, the fall being fully 2s. per sack.

There was a very poor show of foroiga stick in to-day's market. The supply of Irish stock was only 63 beasts and 120 pigs, via Liverpool. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were considerably on the decrease, and mostly of very middling quality. For all breeds we had a brisk demand, at an advance in the quotations realized on Monday last of from 2d to 41 per Slb, and a clearance was 'Motel The best Scots sold readily at 41101 per 81bs. The arrivals of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire were 1,500 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds; and from Scotland 30) horned and polled Scots. With sheep we were very moderately supplied, and their condition was by no means first rate. The mutton trade was rather active at fully 2,1 per Sibs above the currencies realized on this day se'nnight. TO best old Downs, in the wool, changed hands at 5e 2d, out of the wool 4e fid per Slbs. There were very few lambs on sale, yet the inquiry for all breels was heavy at 4d to 61 per Sibs bene.lth Friday's currency. Very few lambs made more than 7s GI per 8113 s. The supply of calves was short, and the veal trade ruled steady, at full quota.tioss. The top figure was 6s per 81b3. Pigs were in moderate supply, and slurgieh request, at barely stationary prices.

Long-iroolled English fleeces have ruled somewhat briskly, partly for shipment to the Continent, short wools are steady, but not dearer. The supply in the market is limited. Foreign and Colonial wools are held for more mosey, and the market fot that► is very firm. Last week's imports were 97 bales from Genoa, 24 from aambro', 12 from Havre, 24 from Copenhagen, and 1,074 from Sydney. The following are the current rates of English wool : Down tegs. is 3d to is 4rl ; do. ewes, is 2d to is 3W ; half bred hoggets, is 2d to is 31 ; do. wethers, 18 ld to is 2d ; Kent fleeces, mixed hog and ewes, is 2d to Is 3.*d ; combing skin, is to is 3d ; flannel wool, is to is ; blanket wool, 10d to is id per lb.

It is expected that the entire cases will occupy a week, and that a supplementary session will be held for the purpose. It is believed that the l'first case will be that for the alleged poisoning of Mr. Cock. EASTER AM USEMCNTS. PROGRAMME FOR HOLIDAY-MAKERS.'

POIXT/CFINIC INSTITUTION.—On Saturday evening a private exhibition was given of several novelties which are to be produced for the Easter hOlidays, at the Poly technic Institution, under the superintendence of Mr. Pepper. The first portion of the proceedings of the evening consisted of some experiments in deco icity as applied to light, the agencies employed being the batte ries of M. Bunsen and Professrif Groves, and some very fine effects were produced, the lecturer stating that they were only, as it were, rough sketches of what be ex pected hereafter to obtain from the same sources. Some very curious and interesting effects, optical and _oalerifie, were then produced by means of_ three enormous con cave mirrors, which Mr. Pepper bas recently been for tunate enough to meet with, none of a similar siz r being manufactured in modern times. The experiments shown on this occasion proved how easily mirrors of thi s ki n d could he adapted to the purposes of the professors of the pseudo-supernatural in the middle ages, and how easily many of the best authenticated ghost stories could be ae cohnted for. The remaining novelty consisted of a new series of dissolving views, on a scale of some pretension, which are intended to entbatly the roost striking scenes in Scott's story of Kenil worth. The views were e.ccompa. nied by a descriptive a•rentint, *cad by a Mr. L. Florae, being a sort of popular rendering of the novel of Kenil worth, and certainly adapted to the meanest capacities. Many of the pictures wire exceedingly good, other* of less merit, but as a whole, when the series is complete (which it was not on Saturday, the lecturer humorously postponing several cf the scenes he described till "next week"), the exhibition will be far above the average. There was some vocal music interspersed among the readings, of which perhaps the best thing that can be sail is, that, it would not be much missed if it was omitted. It may be added that the entire building and all the models have undergone a complete purification, and every possible arrangement has been made for rem• tiering- the P.rlytechnic worthy of" the attention of the visitors who are sure to patronise it during the present week. COSMORAMIC VIEWS.—An exhibition of some photo graphic and other landscape views, to be impacted through a series of fire 2. lens glasses, has been opened to day by Mcne. Louis Thurrenie, at the Adelaide Galery, in the Lowther-arcade. They comprise several scenes from the Crimea, front Turkey, and Rustle, views of the most remarkable streets and public buildings in Paris, in Vrnice, and other continental cities, and other inte resting objects,; besides which there are several stereo scopes, containing pirturcs the subjects of which are calcu'ated to engage the attention of those who visit this exhibition. • Among the nninerons exhibitions now to be viewed in the metropolis, the establishment of Madame Tug saud's waxwork stands most prominently out, illus trating, as it does, so many objects of beauty and interest. Here may be seen kings, queens, heroes, legislators, and poets, besides good men of all nations and times, faithfully represented, and certainly meet life-like, affording much instruction as well as amuse ment to the 'beholders ; and, in fact, but few can com pete with it for its splendid decorations and the ra tional gratification to be obtained from a visit to this, one of the many intellectual sights of the metropolis. Tux OPERA.—Strange it is that no appl;cation what ever has been made to the lessee of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane by Mr. Gye, for the use of that national theatre for this season. It is stated that Mr. Gye ob jected on account of the number of renters who have free admission. This cannot be the case, for, by an in spection of the renters' free admission book, it will be seen that few gentlemen have availed theme elves of the privilege, during the late prosperous season and pro tracted run of the pantomime at that theatres—Sunday Times. Mr. J. M. Kemble, having returned to England, will resume his office a s E XatTiiiler of pia y Chamberlain.. Managers future, send their menu- scripts to him fo r p erusal, in lieu of Mr.lav .t .t toe Donne. Lord Herr Ernst has arrived in England for the season.— Madame Viardot is expected shortly to arrive, to pass the concert season in Lawton. The Gazette Musicale announces that Signor Sighicelii, a - violin player of con. siderable powers, is about to visit England. The Triennial festival of the three choirs of Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester, will be held this year at the last named city, The pecuniary responsibility of these meetings rests upon certain gentlemen who undertake the duties of stewards, and the number this year will be unprecedentedly large, no less than thirty-six gentlemen having consented to act. By a new regulation the Board of Inland Revenue have ordered that any expectant who shall have to tra vel any distance exceeding five miles from the place where he has been instructed or last employed, or di rected to reside, will be allowed for his travelling ex penser 3d. per mile for every mile travelled. ENTERTAINMENT TO ME. BLACK, M.P.—The bonk• selling trade propose to entertain Mr. Black at dinner on the 25th inst. at Edinburgh. The dinner is to take place in Barry's Hotel, Queen-street, and the invitations, which are by circular, have net been confined to " the trade" in Edinburgh, but those wishing to attend may do so from other towns in Scotland. THR CHURCHWARDENSHIP OF ST. PAUL'S, KNIGHTS BRIDGE.--The election for the office of churchwarden of St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, takes place to-rat rrow, and there will, we understand be a fierce opposition on the part of the Puseyite party to Mr. Westerton, who has been spin put up for the office by his friends. Mr. ruck is the opposition candidate. EAST INDIA AND ODDS.-It appears from a return issued on Saturday that the amount outstanding, o loans received from the King of Oude, the intertst o which is applicable to the payment of stipends an d allowances to inemliers of the family and depetaclent of his 'Majesty and to the poor of Lucknow, lA 1,80,07,204 rupees, '1344.
