DI 0 N _ , A ' L ' K E T AND COMMERCIAL lITITLLIGENOZ.' CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market, ou Saturday, closed quietly, and prices of all descriptions were unchanged. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export, and 500 on speculation, comprising 200 Pernam and Maranham, 611. to 71d. ; 230 Egyptian, 61d. to 71d. ; and 800 Surat, 41d. to 4'o. per lb. The Railway Share Market exhibited a buoyant feeling, but transactions were limited, and prices a shade lower. The Paris commercial report for last week 'states that the manufacturers generally complain of the small profits realised in consequence of the con tinued high price of the raw materials, and the necessity of raising the wages of their workmen to meet the increased cost of provisions ; otherwise trade is more satisfactory, and the dull season appears coming to a close. At Rouen, Lyons, and other manufacturing towns, sales have been active, but the high prices of silks limited the purchases in that article. The trade with America is recovering from its temporary slackness, and articles in de mand for that market have risen from 15 to 20 per cent. Orders from England for the ensuing winter season begin to arrive at Paris. Advices from the silk markets in Italy and the Levant report a further rise in prices, which has arrested the export of raw silk to France. At Milan business has been very active, and the finer qualities of the raw material are much in demand, and all the silk manufactories are in full work. In the provinces business is , _qually brisk ; It the fair of Linigaglia 5-50 ecus to 6-20 was the ruling prices, and at Naples 62 to 63 carlins were paid for 11-13 qualities. At the fair of Brescia there was a good demand, and the advance in prices at Pied mont was about 15 per cent. at the rate of 135 francs per kilogramme, while at Lyons the highest price is 132 fr. Several of the Chambers of Commerce in Prussia have prayed for the abolition of the laws which re gulate the rates of interest. Accounts from St. Petersburg mention that the Government had decided on the formation of three groat lines of railway, viz., one from St. Peters burg to Warsaw, another from Moscow to Odessa, and the third from Odessa to Warsaw. The last named will pass by Dubno, with a branch to Brody, and will join the line from Warsaw to Odessa with that of the East of Gallicia. The Bourse at Paris throughout last week re mained in a dull state, and the improvement which previously occurred was not maintained. Trans- actions, both real and speculative, are described as having being unimportant. Among the circum stances which it is contended ought to influence the market favourably, are the satisfactory harvest re ports, the declining prices of cereals, the encouraging condition of the country, and the soundness of com merce. On the other hand, the absence of the principal dealers who are prolonging their stay out of town, and general indisposition to speculate, have the effect of depressing prices and rendering the Bourse very inactive. The Corn market opened steadily to-clay, and - wheat was 3s. to 4s. per quarter higher than on Monday last. About half of the supply was com posed of the new crop in fair condition. The dulness noticed in the English Stock Mar ket throughout last week continues, but the uncer tain state of the weather, and the further slight advance in the corn market, have imparted heavi ness to the quotations, although no quotable decline has occurred. Consols are 95,A for money, and 053 for account. Exchequer Bills are dull at to 14s. premium, and the Bonds are 1004. The New 3 per Cents. are 96 to 96k, and the Re duced 951 1. Bank Stock is 217 i to 2181, and India Stock 233. In Foreign Stocks there have been very few bar gains, but they are mostly at firm quotations. Turkish 6 per Cents. remain at 1031, and the 4 per Cents. are at 1037 to 1041. Spanish 3 per Cents. have been 241 to 25. Sardinian 5 per Cents., 93 ; and Peruvian 3 per Cents., 58 to 59. Dutch 21 per Cents. are 65. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, %; Mexican, 221 1 7 ; Peruvian, 82 4; ditto 3 per Cents., 58 9; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 46 7; Russian 5 per Cents., 111 13 ; ditto 4f per Cents., 98 100 ; Spa nish 3 per Cents., 441 45 ; ditto Deferred, 24i 251 ; ditto Certificates, 6 i; ditto Passive, 61 7. The Railway Market is rather flatter, but prices on the average have not receded more than k to 4 per cent. The Great Northern, South-Western, Midland, North-Eastern, Berwick, and South- Eastern, have all attracted most attention. Foreign and Colonial shares are dull. Rigas are 11s prem. Banking and Miscellaneous aro inactive and rather heavy. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONI. O'CLOCK. ( Prom fit; 01;cial Mato . .. fin. tn , ..• dono.

TUE AMERICAN MAILS. —LIVERPOOL, Saturday.— The British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Persia, Captain C. H. E. Judkins, sailed from the Mer sey this afternoon, on her fifth voyage to New York, with the usual mails for the United States and British North American provinces, 223 passengers, and a full cargo of valuable merchandise on freight. Prior to her departure copies of the London journals of this date were placed on board the Persia by :Messrs. Wilmer and Smith, of Liverpool, for the press and newsrooms of the Western Continent. The new steam-ship Khersonese, Captain Powell, also sailed this afternoon for St. John's, Newfoundland, Halifax and Portland, U.S. She carried out a small mail, 175 passengers, and a full cargo of merchandise on freight. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—The neighbourhood of Barnsley has obtained an unenviable notoriety for the number of highway robberies and other outrages committed therein. The most recent event of the kind was investigated on Tuesday last, before two of the West Riding magistrates (Mr. T. Taylor and the Rev. W. Wordsworth), at the Court-house, Barnsl e y, w h en t wo men, name d Benjamin Batty and William Brown, both of Dodworth, near Barnsley, were charged with stopping John Beaumont on the highway, near the Stafford Colliery, and robbing him of a 501. promissory note and 1/. 10s. in cash. The prosecutor is a cattle dealer at Saddlewortb, in the West Riding, and is 83 years of age. According to his state ment, he was proceeding about half-past nine o'clock on the night of the 12th inst. along a road leading from Dod worth to Stainborougb, and he was attacked by two men, who rushed eat of the hedge-bottom at the side of the road, threw him down, filled his mouth and eyes with dirt, and, after using him in a very rough manner, robbed him of the promissory note and the money mentioned above. He was positive as to the identity of the prisoners, the moonlight at the time of the rob bery having enabled him to see them. Some witnesses gave evidence to show that the prisoners were near the place shortly before the robbery and outrage were perpe trated. The magistrates committed both the prisoners for trial at the next gaol delivery for the county of York. TILE ACCIDENT AT GOODWOOD.—Bartholomew has quitted the Chichester Infirmary, and has been removed to his house at Newmarket.

A i:ub ILINQUET TO THE GUARDS. (This Day.) The promised banquet to the medal men of the Guards took place this day at the Royal Surrey Gardens, and was everything that could be de- The morning was cloudy, and anything but in vitiug, a misty rain falling about the middle of the day, but nevertheless immense crowds of per sons lined the streets through which the Guards passed from their respective - barracks to the gar dens, and cheered them lustily. The Music Hall, the capacious dimensions of which, and its light and elegant construction and decoration, which is now so well known to thou sands, presented one of the most enlivening, gay, and brilliant spectacles imaginable. Over the orchestra, high up above the upper gallery, and springing from the base of the dome, was a crystal transparency of the quarteriugs of England, France, Sardinia, and Turkey, surrounded by the Garter and England's motto ; whilst on each side and above were intermixed the flags of the re spective nations, over which was placed a minia ture Standard of England in gold and crimson. At the opposite end of the building was a similar device, and above it one in which the tri-color of France was most conspicuous. Along the balcony of the principal gallery fes toons of artificial leaves were gracefully and artis tically intertwined with the light filagaree work of the front, and in the interstices formed by the festoons were placed the names of "J. M'Donald," " Dundas, " "Evans," " Bruat," " 6 Wyndham, " " St. Arnaud, " " Codring ton," " Massey, " "Raglan, " " Lyons, " "Simpson," "Williams," " Cardigan, " Lucan," " Bosquet," " Canrobert," ac., &e., names which for ever will live in the page of history ; and how ever much some of them might not have realised all the anticipations of an ardent, enthusiastic, brave, and courageous people, there are many amongst them whom a generous public delighteth to honour, and who have gallantly and nobly sus tained tho reputation of the country. Against each of the pillars was hung a flag of each of the allied nations, whilst around the balcony and the middle gallery festoons of flags were suspended over them, and along the upper gallery flags were hung around, which floated gaily in the cool breeze which, by the extraordinary construction of the ventilation of the building; passed through it during the day, and kept the place delightfully cool, a desideratum highly to be prized in crowded assemblies—whether in the heat of the day, or those which succeed them. Immediately over and behind the chairman, and in front of the orchestra, the flags of the respective nations were artistically intertwined, and in a wreath on each side were the words "Redan," " Malakhoff," and in the centre the name of that never-to-be forgotten soldier's friend and minis- tering angel, Miss " Nightingale." At 12 o'clock the gates of the gardens were opened for the admission of ladies and others by ticket at an advanced price, the proceeds of which the proprietors of the gardens have liberally placed at the disposal of the committee, and the galleries were speedily filled by a number of elegantly-dressed ladies, radi ant with smiles, highly delighted at witnessing such an interesting scene, and eager to testify their admiration for men whose daring and gallantry have achieved deeds unsurpassed in the page of history, and who suffered the hardships .of war, aggravated by official blundering, with a magna nimity savouring more of romance than reality. The Grenadiers, mustering 739 men, marched from their barracks in Birdcage-walk, ov©r West minster-bridge, past the Elephant and Castle, along the Walworth-road to Amelia-street, down which it passed to the principal entrance of the gardens. The Fusiliers, numbering 708 men, marched from their barracks, at Charing-cross, over Waterloo-bridge, following the Grenadiers from the Elephant and Castle. The Coldstreams, numbering 562 men, marched from the Tower over London-bridge by the Elephant and Castle, and the same route thence to the gardens. These gallant men, each preceded by its band, playing various enlivening airs, reached the gardens about the appointed time, 2 o'clock, when an equal number of each regiment, according to previous arrangement, took their places at the tables in the capacious music hall, the remainder being accommodated under an awning in front of the building, the band stationed in the orchestra playing at the time the " Roast beef of old England." The tables were laid out with cold meats of every kind, plum puddings, salads, fruits, cheese, with a bottle of stout to each man. At various places along the tables were a number of ever greens, fuschias, balsams, geraniums, verbenas, and other plants in flower ; and iu the centre of the room was an emblematic device, designed by Messrs. Potel and Shabot, who provided the ban quet, and whose catering as purveyors to the com pany is well known and justly appreciated. [We shall give the continuation in our last edition.] seription is being retard in the name of General Guyon, with a view to present that distinguished officer with a sword of honour. CONGRESS or Cone - DEALERS.—The second grand an - coal ineet,ng of the conedealera from the different parts of France will take place this day at Dijon. The object of such a congress is to arrive at an exact idea of the total resources of the country front the present harvest • of the localiti es w hi ch will have a surplus quantity o f corn, of those which will have sufficient for their con sumption, and of those where there will be a deficiency. It is by such information that persons in the corn trade are able to form a correc':. estimate of the quantity which will be required front abroad, and a knowledge of the points or tee country to which it will be necessary to send a supply. This was the origin of the congress of corn merchants at Dijon last year, and the eagerness with which the call made was responded to shows tLa`, the excellence of the idea was fully appreciated. THE ORDER OF THE BATH.—It will be in the recollec tion of our readers that in the Gazette of July 10, 1855, certain officers were named who would have been recom mended to her Majesty for the honours of the filet, second, and third c l asses of the Bath, had they sur vived. For the first class of the Bath the lamented Sir G. Cathcart was the only officer so designated; but for the second class the list comprised the names of Rear- Admiral Lowry Corry, Rear Admiral E. Boxer, Major- General Estcourt, and Brigadiers-General Strangways, Adams, and Tylden. we understand that, in conside ration of the services of these officers, the Queen has been pleased to direct that their widows shall be per mitted to assume the same style and title as they would have enjoyed had their husbands lived to assume the dignity of Knight Commanders of the Beth, which it was her Majesty's intention to confer upon them.—Observer. COL. PERCY HERBERT, 111. P., C.B.—On Saturday a public demonstration, in honour of the late Quartermas ter-General in the Crimea, took place at Ludlow, when a magniacent sword of the value of 130 guineas was pro . sented to him. At 2 o'clock the mayor and corporatior, attended by nearly all the townspeople, walked in pro cession to the limits of the borough on the Corve-road, leading to Oakley-park, the residence of the Honourable R. W. Clive, M.P., at which pl ace C o l one l H er b ert was staying on a visit. The municipal authorities there awaited the arrival of the hero of the day, who shortly afterwards appeared, attended by various mem bers of his family, and the tenantry of the Walcot and Oakley-park estates on horseback. Colonel Her bert, who appeared in full uniform, were his Crimean medals, and rode the white-faced c h arger w hi c h h a d borne him throughout the entire campaign. At the banquet which followed, the mayor (Mr. Valentine) read a congratulatory address, and presented to the colonel the sword, w hich was a splendid weapon, an d b ore on i t the words "Alma," "Balaklava," "Inkerman," "Sebas topol," and an inscription to the effect that the sword was presented to Colonel Herbert by the inhabitants of Ludlow as a mark of their approval of his conduct during the late war. Colonel Herbert replied in a lengthy speech, a considerable portion of which was devoted to answering the aspersions which had been cast upon the late Lord Raglan by those whom the colonel stigmatised as "grumblers of the camp." A. letter was read from Sir D. L. Evans, excusing himself from attending the proceedings, and paying the highest compliments to Colonel Herbert's skill and courage. After the banquet the company adjourned to the Assembly-rooms, where a public ball concluded the festivities of the day. The Swedish Chambers have approved of the proposition of the Minister of Marine, which fixes the strength of the Swedish and Norwegian fleets for 1857 as follows :—Sweedish fleet : 10 sail of the line, 6 frigates, 4 schooners, 4 brigs, 9 steam schooners, 77 gun-boats, 122 armed boats, 6 mor tar vessels, 23 steam despatch boats, 2 royal yachts, 21 transports, 524 armed row boats. Norwegian fleet : 2 frigates, 2 schooners, 2 steam schooners, 1 brig, 43 gun-boats, 5 tugs, with a steam frigate and a despatch boat, both of which are now being finished on the stocks at Christiana. All the ves sels of war are ready to go to sea, but in time of peace they are laid up in ordinary. Only the vessels strictly required by the Government are kept PA service.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. MATRIMONIAL DIFFICULTIES.—Mary Ann Dads, the wife of George John Oulds, oilman, &c., Greek-street, Soho, was charged before Mr. Beaden with assaulting and threatening the life of her husband. It appeared from the Statement of Mr. Wakeling, who attended for the complainant, that the latter had been married ti the defendant about sixteen months, during the whole of which period she hadbehaved in avery bad way—getting drunk, and annoying him in the presence of his customers in every possible way—threatening to murder him and to rip him up. In order to carry this threat into effect she actually provided herself with two formidable daggers, one of which she had sharpened on purpose. Mr. Oulds fortunately discovered the daggers in time, and consequently prevented her accomplishing her object. On Saturday night about 11 o'clock she was in liquor, and exceedingly violent and quarrelsome, and, on being remonstrated with by her husband, she threw a large iron weight at his head. Fearing that she would do him some serious injury he sent for a con stable and gave her in charge. Several witnesses having corroborated this statement, the defendant, in a very excited manner, denied the whole of it, and said the complainant was always beating her, and she, for her own personal safety, was obliged to have the daggers in self-defence. When she married him she gave him 3001., beside settling a large sum upon her son, by her first husband, and 3001. she invested for her own benefit. Complainant wanted that, and because she would not let him have it he continually ill-treated her. A deal of recrimination then took place between both parties, which Mr. Beadon put a stop to by ordering de fendant to find bail to keep the peacs towards her hus band. THAMES. AN INCORRIGIBLE THIEF. —TVilliant Bland, alias the Savage, a lad of 18, who did not look more than 15, and who has injured several officers when taken into cus tody on former occasions, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with picking pockets in the Com mercial-road East. Mr. James Smith, an insurance agent, stated that he saw two boys in the Commercial-road, on Saturday, be• tween four and five o'clock, reciting pietas from " Mac beth," to attract attention and give thieves an oppor tunity of carrying on their depredations. A crowd soon collected, and the prisoner, who was no doubt in col lusion with the juvenile actors, immediately cotntnenced work, and put his hands into the pockets of several ladies, but without succeeding in taking anything. At last he put his hand into the pocket of a lady named Waller. The lady fortunately had her purse in her right hand, and her pocket was on the left. She caught the prisoner's hand as he was withdravviug it from her pocket, and called for help. He immediately took the prisoner into custody, and handed him over to the police. William Savage, a pOllO3 constable, said the prisoner was a most incorrigible thief, and was in custody two months ago for attempting to steal a gold watch from a gentleman. The prisoner took the watch out of the gentleman's pocket, but could not detach it from the chain, and was secured. Mr. Yardley--What became of him then ? Savage—l don't know, sir. I think he was sent to prison for six weeks. Another cons able saki the prisoner had been con- victed of felony four or five times, and was the most incorrigible and savage thief in the district. The prisoner said he was quite innocent ; he touched no lady's pocket on Saturday evening. Mr. Smith.—The prisoner put his hands into the pockets of six or seven women. Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to three mont bs mpr;sonment and bard labour. The prisoner no sooner heard the sentence than he scowled ferociously on Mr. Smith, and said he would serve him out when his term of imprisonment expired. SOUTHWARK. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A RAILWAY OFFICER.—Geo. Abbcriield, a costeruaonger, was plaled at the bar before Mr. Seclar on a charge of assault under the following circumstances. Wm. Green, an officer employed at the Waterloo sta. tion of the South-Western 1t :ilway, stated that on Satiir : day last while he was proceeding along the Waterloo road the prisoner, who keeps an oyster stall at the corner of John-street, Waterloo-road, suddenly rushed up to him and etruck him on the -right eye, which bled profusely. Witness did not give the prisoner any provo cation, and why he had struck him he could not tell. Mr. Seeker (to the prisoner)—What have you to ray to the charge ? Pi isouer—l was drunk and he struck me fira. I hare known the prosecutor for several years, and have been in the habit of travelllng on the railway every day. The prosecutor denied this assertion, and confirmed is evidence by other witnesses. The priFoner was fined 205,, or, in Mault, one month's inprisonme7,t. ROBBERY AT A WINE MERCHANT'S.—Thomas 11,v son, aged 17 years, was charged with robbing his em- ployer. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was in the service of Mr. - Robert Wilkinson, A, wine nv , r chant, residing in Nag's Head Yard, High-street, Bo rough. The prosecutor stated that he had missed various sums of money from a desk in the coun ti❑g-house, and oo Saturday last he marked some gold which was left in a box. Witness went out for a short time, and on his return one of the half sovereigns had been taken away. A police-constable was sent for, when tho prisoner was searched, and the marked coin was found in his pocket. The prisoner did not deny the charge. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and wished.to be dealt with suannalily, instead of being sent for trial. Mr. Seeker, after a few observations, sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour.

He was in the custody of t o soldiers of the regiment, and was being conveyed by the express t_ .in from Birmingham to York. When between Burton-on-Trent and Barton station he leaped, handcuffed as he Was, through the window of the car riage. The step of the succeeding carriage caught him in its progress and inflicted such serious injuries as to cause death shortly afterwards. w -(jr CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were very moderately supplied with wheat, in which a fair business was doing at 2s to 3s per quarter more money. Barley was firm, and the quotations ruled high. Other grain ruled somewhat active. Tile American markets come rather heavy, although the shipments to this country were on a liberal scale. On the continent the demand for grain has improved. Very moderate supplies of home-grown produce were re ceived up to our market last week. The imports of foreign were large, viz., 31,237 quarters of wheat, 7,079 barley, 51,319 oats, 7 peas, 5,70 i linseed, 1,225 rapeseed, 55 sundry seeds, 330 sacks and 5,375 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat to this morning's market was unusually small. The majority of the new was in good condition, and the whole was disposed of at an ad vance of 3s per qr. upon the rates of this day se'nuight. The market was largely attended by country buyers, but the weather being dry confined their purchases to retail quantities at Friday's improvont, being 4s per quarter over our quotations of Monday last for the lower qualities. Baltic and Hamburg descriptions continue to be neglected. Barley is a free sale at fully last week's prices. Beaus.e.nd peas unaltered in values. Oats aro 6d per qr. dearer. Norfolk flour brings 53s to 54s per sack, and American barrels an advance of is to 2s.

The exports from Holland are rather on the increase. To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign stock, the condition of which was by no means prime. There was an increase in the receipts of home-fed beasts as to number, and the condition of most breeds exhibited an improvement, compared with Monday last. The beef trade was rather dull, and prices were 21 per Sibs lower than on this day week. The highest figure for the best Scots was 4s 10d per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicester shire, and Northamptonshire we receivecl2,4oo shori;-horns; from other parts of England 403 of various breeds ; from Scotland 50 Scots ; and from Ireland 240 oxen. We were tolerably well, but not to say extensively, sup plied with sheep, most breeds of which came to hand in middling condition. The mutton trade was steady, at prices equal to those realised on this day sennight. The show of lambs was moderate. On the whole, the trade ruled firm, at full quotations. Calves, the supply of which was rather limited, moved off steadily, at last week's currency. The top price was ls 10d per Sibs. . - We had a slow sale for pigs, on foram. terms.

The Hon. Miss Talbot, who accompanied the body to Liver. pool, remains in that town until to-day. G NOTES. RETROSPECTIVE AND PROSPECTIVE. The expectations which had been formed of an impor t taut meeting at York were not disappointed. The su. perior character of the sport, and the perceptible influ. ence which the result of certain races is already exec. cuing over speculation on the St. Leger and Derby, con. tributed to impart an enduring interest to the proceed ings. The principal incidents have already been ren. dered familiar to turfites ; but, although they have been much talked about, they still excite warm discussion. The performance of Fazzoletto on Friday has spread some little dismay amongst the ranks of Ellington's par tisans, and several supporters of the Tupgill stable have "deserted," and given in their adherence to the White. wall interest. After the race for the Two Thousand I expressed my unfeigned admiration of Fazzoletto, and at the same time I expressed my belief that he would require all the time between May and August to develops thoroughly his racing ability. This opinion has been confirmed, and I have no hesitation in stating that at York Fazzoletto appeared to be by many pounds a better horse than at Epsom. He and Ellington are likely to make a very close race of it in the betting, and until the hour of starting they will be head and head in the list of quotations. Ido not wish to create A favourable impression for Fazzolett ) by disparaging Ellington, whom I believe to be a thoroughly good horse. Still, should Fazzoletto remain well, and be sent to the post in that blooming condition which John Scott well knows how to bestow, I shall be scarcely prepared to see Ellington add the Great Northern event to his Southern victory. I was justified in giving my adherence to the Coroner for the Ebor Handicap. His party grew in confidence to the hour of starting, and it is even said tha their confidence was shared by the supporters of Warlock. On the evening before the race the Coro+ ner was backed with a spirit and determination which would imply that his partisans really thought he would come in alone. The heavy holding ground, however, caused—&slight re•action at the last moment. The horso was incapable of galloping through the mud and dirt. He was in the rear until reaching the - Middlethorpe turn, when Fordharn succeeded in bringing through his horses, and he once became second ; this position, however, he was able to hold only for a few strides, and he then fell back beaten. Warlock won with evident ease. Bro. ther to Gray Tommy " cut up " worse than his most in. veterate opponents could have expected. The scratching of Lady Tattoo excited general indig. nation, and never perhaps was the ducal maxim of a man's doing as he likes with his own more unscrupu. lcusly acted upon than with regard to the withdrawal of this mare. The running of Blink Baany for the C)nvivial Stakes excited considerable suspicion. Whether these sus. picions were well founded I shall not attempt to deter mine ; I must, however, state that a greater " tailor" on horseback than her rider I never saw. When it came to a finish he appeared, as a jockey remarked to me, as if he were knocked silly. Blink Bonny has, how. ever, been reinstated in the position which she lost in the Derby betting. It must be acknowledged that en Wednesday she met a " clipper" in!Lady Hawthorn, who is a large strapping filly, with beautiful action. Both fillies have been backed for the Derby, but I am not one of their partisans. Experience teaches us that mares seldom fulfil their two-yri-old promise of future excel lence. Manganese, Mary Copp, and other " modern instances" may be adduced in support of this statement. People are backing Schiedam for the Derby. His owner's money seems, however, to be on Goldfinch. The public, however, are very knowing with respect to Mr. Howard's • horses ; in 1855 they insisted upon backing Oulston, when the stable backed St. Hubert, and this year they have put their money on the Coroner, although it was evident that Yellow Jack would be the trusted representative of Mr. Howard's interest. It would be an injustice to the race officials to wind up my "notes" without adding my testimony to the zeal and ability with which they discharged their respec. tive duties. Mr. North, in particular, deserves honour. able notice for the unremitting attention, which he be. stowed on the requirements of the visitors. I under. stand that the policy of extending the • meeting to four clays is under discussion. I trust, however, that this projected scheme will be abandoned ; for, as the Sunday Tiiiscs remarks, " the managers of the meeting had better let well alone. It is only frogs that destroy themselves by endeavouring to increase• their size; the ox is contented with his proportions,, and thrives and fatten." The Radcliffe meeting commences this day, and will be brought to a conclusion on Wednesday. For the Stewards' Cup I fancy Vindex and Gaudy. Either Peto or Mongrel ought to win the Bury Purse. The Sacrifice filly and °here Petite seem the most attractive names amongst the entries for the Radcliffe Handicap. The. Two-years-Old Handicap I assign to Alongrel. It is somewhat hazardous to make a guess at the probable winner of the Manchester Cup, because the runnha for it will be materially regulated by the result of the pre. ceding races. My present fancy points 'to my " picks", for the Stewards' Cup—Vindex and Gaudy. Tao Egham Meeting will attract the large majority of metropolitan turfites. A satisfactory supply of sport has been provided, and, should the weather' be propitious, a pleasant little gathering will be celebrated. Commo tion is not likely to be brought out for the King John Stakes. Madame Ciicquot is, therefore, not' likely to meet with any opponent formidable enough to dispute her pretensions. Fulbeck will win the Surrey and Mid. dlesex Stakes, which last year, it may be remembered, created a sensation by " exposing" Mr. Sykes.' Swat ciao may win the,Runnymede Handicap. Barbarity is said to be a "good thing" for the Baron's Handicap. Aug. 25. A FRESH MAN. THE NEW LORD BELPER. The Right Hon. Edward Strut% whose elevation to the peerage as Lord Belper our columns an nounced on Saturday last, is the only son of the late Mr. William Strutt, a manufacturer, of St. Helen's-house, Derby, by Barbara, daughter of Thomas Evans, Esq., of the same place. He was born in 1801, and having received his early educa tion at a grammar-school in one of the midland counties, went up to Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1819, and graduated there in 1823. Soon after this he entered into active business as a cotton manufacturer in his native town. The respect which his father had earned was main tained by the honesty and integrity of his son, who was invited by his fellow-townsmen, in 1830, to represent the borough in the Liberal interest. Returning to Parliament, he made no startling, sudden, or brilliant display, but gradu ally earned the character of a man of business, of L common sense, and of sterling worth. He was a member of St. Stephen's for. nearly 16 years before place was offered him. In 1845 ho was sworn a member ,of the Privy Council ; but it was only in September, 1846, that he accepted the post of Chief Commissioner of Railways, and in this capacity he was busily engaged, in conjunction with Lord Dal housie, in carrying out plans for placing the exist• ing lines of railroa under Government inspection. This post he resigned,in March, 1848. He was elected for Derby at every general election from 1830 until 1847, when, though•returned to Parliament by a majority, he was unseated on petition, and remained out of Parliament until July, 1851, when he was returned for Arundel in the place of the present Duke of Norfolk, then Earl of Arundel and Surrey, who had accepted the Chiltern Hun dreds. At the general election of 1852 he was re turned, in conjunction with Mr. John Walter, as M.P. for Nottingham, near which place he owns a seat called Kingston-hall. On the down4l of Lord Derby's Ministry, in December, 1852, Lord ,Aber deen selected Mr. Strutt as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, an honourable s inecure, which he continued to hold till June, 1854, when, in order to facilitate a new disposition of places among the members of the Cabinet, and more especially to make room for Lord John Russell, he was ejected from his position iu a rather summary manner, and was , a Reformer of the advan ce d superseded by Lord Granville. Mr. Strutt i s, or politicalevents House s creed as a member of the House osaefth all Coooml, his mons being summed up, in a few words, as (ti n f a vour of the ballot, short Parliaments, and civil and religious liberty." In 1837 he married. E m ily, daughter of the late Bishop Otter, of Chi chester, by whom he has a family -of three sons. The title of Lord Belper has been chosen. by Mr. Strutt, on account of his family con nexion with that place, to the manufacturing pros perity of which his uncle, the late Mr. Jedediah Strutt, contributed so largely. It may be re membered that in the retiring address which he issued to his constituents in July last, on accepting the Chiltern Hundreds, Lord Belper alluded to his own position as being still a manufactUrer, thus identifying himself still with the order frOm which he has sprung. " The name, style, and title" which his Lordship has chosen, is almost better known upon the continent tha n in this country, for there is scarcely a woman whoplies her knitting needle in the towns and villages of Germany but makes use of the materials on the wrapper of which the name of Belper is printed in large characters..
