Last week's imports R ere 7,175 balea from Sydney, 1,660 from Port Philip, 1,033 from New Zealand, and 1,146 from Algoa Bay. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were considerably on the increase, and the ge neral samples on offer were tolerably:good. For all good and fine qualities there was a steady demand at prices equal to those realised on Monday last; but inferior kinds moved off slowly, on former terms. The show of foreign wheat was moderately good. Ame rican parcels were in fair demand, for export to France, at an advance on last week's currency ; but in other descrip tions the transactions were for the most part in retail, at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, and the quotations were well supported. There was some demand on Frerich account. _ The barley trade was in a sluggish state, yet there is no change to notice in prices compared with last week. Good and fine malt maintained its value, with a moderate demand. Inferior kinds moved off slowly at former prices. We were moderately supplied with oats, and the trade ruled steady, at an advance compared with Monday last of 6d per quarter for all good and fine samples. Both beans and peas were a dull inquiry, and prices were barely supported. Most kinds of lour were in steady request, and previous rates were fairly maintained. TALLOW. Our market continues very dull, and prices have further declined. To-day P.Y.C. is quoted at 46s to 47s per cwt., both on the spot and for the last three months' delivery. Rough fat, 2s 6d per 81bs. The leading country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat, and all good and fine qualities sold stoadily, at very full prices. Oats were rather dearer, and the value of beans and peas was well supported. Flour moved off steadily, at full quotations. Throughout the Continent, the demand for wheat on English account having fallen off, prices have had a droop ing tendency. In the United States, however, the down ward movement in the value of product) has been checked. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were very small. From abroad, we received 20,293 quarters of wheat; 6,730 barley; 8,687 oats; 3,620 peas; 250 linseed ; 320 rapeseed ; 1,700 maize ; 140 sundry seeds, and 9,322 barrels of flour.

The de mand ruled inactive, and, in some instances, prices had a drooping tendency. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were seasonably good, both as to number and quality. The supply being in excess of the demand, the butchers purchased cautiously, and, compared with Mon day last, prices gave way quite 2d per gibs. The extreme value of the best Scots was 4s 10d per 81bs. From the n zthern districts we received about 2,000 short-horns, &c.; from other parts of England, 1,200 various breeds ; from Scotland, 170 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 300 oxen and heifers. There was a fair average number of sheep in the pens. Prime Downs and half-breds, from their comparative scarcity, changed hands steadily at full quotations ; but all other breeds moved off slowly at late currencies. The best old Downs realised 5s 4d per 81bs. We were fairly supplied with lambs, mostly in middling condition. Prime breeds were in request at full prices ; otherwise, the lamb trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Calves—the supply of which was good —were a dull in quiry at last week's currency. We have to report a slow sale for pigs at late prices. Per Sib. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d. Crse. &inf. beasts 3 2 3 6 Primecrs-wool do. 4 4 4 10 Second quality do. 3 8 4 0 Pine.

The second meeting at Ascot was a complete failure, notwithstanding the large sum of money given by the stewards. Goodwood races commence to-morrow, and no doubt from the large number of horses under orders it will be fully equal to any of its predecessors. The programme contains no fewer than 36 events set for decision. The first that attracts my attention is the Ham Stakes, for which 16 two year-olds are nominated. Of these only two, Polypody and The Chieftain's Daughter, have yet been in public, the latter of whom will alwayshe able to take her own part in good company. Her opponents for this event will be found to include Ashford (brother to Sittingbourne), who has already been backed, for a considerable amount for the Derby, besides Brother to Mayonnaise, and a very good looking colt by Voltigeur out of Typee, both in Tom Taylor's stable, the latter of whom has also received the support of the noble owner for the great Surrey event. Lorelei, by Robert de Gorham, a half-sister to Water sprite and Will o' the Wisp, is also engaged, with a half-brother of Roesia, by Voltigeur, and Hubert, by Stockwell, out of Honeydew, the dam of Honey and Sparrowhawk. The most trustworthy of the lot will be found in The Chieftain's Daughter. The Lavant, won in 1859 by Thormanby, and last year by Russley, is not likely on the present occasion to bring out anything so good as either. Mr. Merry has two engaged, Express and The Chieftain's Daughter, the former of whom has to carry a penalty of 31b. Besides these, six others of the 16 engaged have been in public. The " dark" division includes Breaker, a filly by Alonzo out of Fisherman's dam ; Pal merin, a colt by Orlando out of Lady Melbourne, her third produce; Pamela, by Cotherstone out of Polydora (the dam of Pandora, Polyolbion, &c.) ; Ile de France, a filly by The. Cure out of Cherokee (the dam of North Lincoln) ; Flexmore, by Fandango out of Dividend (the dam of Rouble, Interest, and Vancouver) ; St. Lawrence, by Dr. O'Toole out of Holyhead's dam, and Cleverly, by Turnus out of Angela, by St. FranCis, who never bred a winner. As will be seen, there is some rare blood among the dark horses, there being among them a half sister of North Lincoln, a half sister of Fisherman, and a half brother of Rouble (Flexmore). I shall expect the best of Mr. Merry's to furnish the winner. For the Grqtwicke Stakes I shall rely on Will-o'-tho- Wisp. The Wizard should have no difficulty in disposing of Thun derbolt for the 300 Soya Sweepstakes. The Stewards' Cup has 94 horses engaged, but if Vergiss-mein-nicht represent the Whitewall stable it shall do the same for me. The Goodwood Stakes will not produce a large field, to be selected from the following : Yrs st lb Yrs st lb Umpire Starke 6 7 9 Anthem 3 6 0 Royal Sovereign 6 7 9 Elcho 3 513 Schism Surprise 4 7 5 Brownie 3 5 12 Lupus ... 3 7 2 Shipwreck .. 3 5 7 Voltella Calpe • . 36 0 Bally Edmond .. 3 5 7 The highest weight ever successfully carried was by Glaucus, 5 yrs, 9st 81b, in 1855, but considering the sex, quite as great a feat was performed by Lucetta in 1852, when she won, carrying 9st 51b, beating a field of 14, including five three-year-olds, to the highest weighted of whom she conceded 431 b. While later (in 1848) most of us remember in what style Chanticleer carried the heavy impost of 9st 21b triumphantly to the goal, giving the six year old Plaudit, who ran second, 221 b, and Remembrance, a three year old, who was third, 421 b. The present handi cap is on the high scale, commencing with 9st 131 b on Thormanby, a most unconscionable weight for a four year old, and descending to sst 71b on the Irish importation Bally Edmond, a son of Bantam (by Euclid) and Chase away—an impost the handicapper has allotted to eight other three year olds, no fewer than twenty-six of which are in. eluded in the forty-one acceptances. Thormanby I expect will be an absentee, as he in all probability will be reserved for the Cup. The next two on the list that attract my attention are Starke and Schism, but the American has most charms for me, as stded when the weights appeared, and also in The Sun of last Monday. He will be ridden by Fordham, one of the best jockeys of the day. Lupus with all his weight will run forward. The best of the three-yr-olds will be found in Elcho, Canary, Brownie, Voltella, and West-end. Surprise will represent the French division. For the judge's decision I have the greatest respect, but, by way of anticipation, no doubt his verdict will be— STARKE .. (G. Ferdham) 1 ELCHO.... SURPRISE .... For the Findon Stakes I anticipate the success of Win grave, despite his 51b penalty. '' 2 The Cup has a smaller entry than last year by four, nevertheless the contest will not be di ficient in interest, as several French and American horses will, as usual of late years, take part in the struggle. The field will be pretty numerous, as times go, the following being ,expected to run : Age st lb Age st lb Thormanby .. 4 9 10 Mon Etoile The Wizard 4 9 0 Diophantus Pretendant Optimist With the exception of the French filly Mon Etoile, all of the above have run this season in England, and most of them displayed good form. Thormanby has proved him self a great horse, but the Welter weight he has got to carry over such a severe course must tell on him at the finish, but he might run into a place. If The Wizard is in the same form he was in the spring when he defeated Ben Webster and other good horses, he can scarcely lose. At the Paris Spring Meeting last year Pretendant ran second for the Prix du Printemps, won easily by Gustave, Mon Etoile being third; and at Chantilly he again beat her in the Prix des Harras, but at Baden Baden, in the following September, she turned the tables on him for the Conti nental St. Leger, and again beat him for the Emperor's Prize, at the Chantilly Autumn Meeting. So far it was "heads and tails" between them, but before the close of the year he asserted the superiority he displayed in their two first encounters, by beating her at Paris very easily in the Prix Special, a heat race of a mile and a quarter, which ran to three heats, the last two of which he won. Diophantus again finds favour in the betting, but will scarcely like the distance. Optimist has run well this year, and with his atone allowance will make the Wizard gallop. Royallieu, from his performance in the Derby, ought to have a great chance. Doefoot will find the company too good. The race, in my opinion, lies between OPTIMIST and THE WIZARD; and I anticipate them being placed first and second. The Wizard will win the Four.Year-Old Bentinck Memo rial; Copernicus the Racing Stakes; Fairwater the 50 Sovs Sweepstakes; Big Ben or Folkston° the Three- Year-Old Memor al ; and Ace of Clubs the Molcomb. The Nursery Stakes I shall not offer an opinion upon. A FRESH MAN. TATTERSALLS'-SATURDAY. The room was opened this afternoon for the purpose of "comparing" on the forthcoming Goodwood meeting, but the attendance was anything but numerous. After the preliminary business had been got through speculation was entered into with much spirit upon the principal items in the programme. The STEWARDS' Cur, as usual, was the first touched upon, for which Cantab, from some heavy iv vestments made in the City in the morning, appeared to bo in most demand, although at one period Baron Rothschild's Restes was in equal force, and, as will be seen from our quotations, left off nearly as good a favourite. Vergiss-Mein Nicht was also inquired after, and 100 to 6 repeatedly noted down; 20 to 1 was booked about Crater; and 25 to 1 each was taken to some money about Snapshot, Umpire, and the Drone ; Sweetsauce, however, did not appear so palatable, as he re trograded in favour, and at the finish 100 to 3 was cur rently offered, without meeting with a reply. 150 even was laid on the field against 15. THE GooDwooD STAKES.—Starke was in great demand, his opening price being readily booked, and ho was un questionably made a better favourite for money than Lord Coventry's colt, hisclosing price, 100 to 30, being with diffi culty obtained, Elcho, notwithstanding this movement, re tained his position; half a point over the quoted odds would have found a host of supporters. Not so his quondam stable companion Schism, who appeared in anything but a healthy state. At one time as much as 10 to 1 was freely offered against him, but just prior to the closing of the room a reaction set in in his favour, and he found supporters a 100 to 12 for a nominal amount. The Brownie was occa sionally touched upon at 12 to 1; similar odds being offered about Balham, but without finding backers, Shipwreck, as was anticipated from operations elsewhere, appeared en tirely gone, any odds in reason being obainable, and at the close 40 to 1 went begging. Thormanby was backed for a " pony" at 50 to 1, more as a fancy bet, we opine, than in the way of business. _ _ THE CiOODWQOI) CUr.—The Wizard came with a rush, and wis backed for all the money that could be got on, and speedily became the premier at 7 to 2 taken, but at the finish we question if those odds were to be had. This movement had a depressing effect upon Optiniist and Mon Etoile, who receded to 6to 1 each, at which odds the pair were backed for.money, more particularly the former, who appear to haye a strong party. Thormanby was sup ported in got - xi quarters at 6to 1, and Diophantua at 100 to 8. Parmesan was also introduced, and repeatedly backed by his owner at 25 and 20 Ito some money. 100 to 5 was taken that the Wizard wins this event,• and Starke the Stakes ; and 100 to 80 was laid several times on Optimist, the Wizard, and Thormanby.

WILLS AND BEQUPSTS. (From the illustrated London News.) The will of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Richard Saunders Dundas, K.C.8., Hon. LL.D. of Oxford, was proved in the principal registry in London on the 16th inst. by the testator's brother, Lieut.-Gen. the Right Hon. Henry Dundas, Viscount Melville, K.C.B. ; Vice-Admiral Henry Dundas, and Mr. William Pitt Dundas. advocate, the executors. The personalty in the United Kingdom was sworn under £16,000. The will of this gallant admiral, which was drawn up in the Scottish form, and bears date so long back as the year 1842, required special affidavit before probate could be granted in the testamentary court in England. This form has been adopted in the will which we now have to record of Admiral Dundas in the conveyance of his property. We give the terms used—" Failing any disposition to nearest heirs whomsoever who would be entitled to the same according to the law of Scot land." In this case no other disposition has been made, and no other document found, and the will, dated 1842, has therefore to be acted upon. Ad miral Dundas was what is termed " domiciled in England," and died on June 3 last, at his residence, New-street, Spring-gardens, at the age of 59, and was never married. The will and codicil of General Peter De la Motte, C. 8., of the Bombay army, were proved in the London court on the 17th inst., the executors nominated being his relict, together with Mr; Au gustus Le Messurier and Colonel Thomas Faunce, the testator's son-in-law. The personalty was sworn under £B,OOO. The will of this gallant general is strictly of a family nature, the bequests being confined entirely to his relict and to their children. The will bears date 1858, under which the widow takes a life-interest in all the property, and on her decease a sum of money is to be invested sufficient to secure an annuity of £2OO to an invalid unmarried daughter, and the remainder is directed to be equally divided between the testator's two married daughters. The general, since making the above will, having purchased an estate, added a codicil to his will at the commencement of the pre sent year, by which he devises this freehold estate to his daughter, the wife of Colonel Faunce, for her life, which on her decease is to descend to the eldest son of this lady, and to his issue. The will con tains no other bequests. The general died at his residence, Craven-hill gardens, Bayswater, on the sth of February last. The will of Rear-Admiral the Hon. John Frede rick Fitzgerald De Ros, the brother of the testator, and the Rev. F. H. Pare, M.A. The personalty was sworn under £12,000. The gallant admiral bequeaths the property of which he died possessed amongst his relatives and personal friends. To his brother, Baron De Ros, who has taken upon' him self the trusts of the will, he bequeaths £lOO, to gether with other specific bequests ; the like sum of £lOO is also bestowed on the Rev. Mr. Pare, the other executor. To each of his sisters a legacy of £5OO, with other specific bequests, leaving the re sidue of his personal property to his sister, the Hon. Mrs. Pare, for her life, and upon her decease to that lady's daughter. There are some handsome pecuniary legacies lett to the admiral's personal friends, and also sums to purchase tokens of remem brance of the testator. The admiral has bestowed a legacy on that excellent institution, the Marine Society, of £lOO, and he directs that all legacies are to be paid to the recipients free of legacy duty. The will, which is in the admiral's own hand-writ ing, is very brief, and bears date in 1849, and Ad miral De Ros died a bachelor at the age of fifty seven. 17.6 15 all ; all Bloch stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 10j 10 stock stock stock 25.6 d. 124 12i stock 6 stock LO.A too too 100 all all 93 2i 125 1151 1112 114 198 202 6961 112 117 1 83 86 3k 3 93 95 i 4n 55 57 151 16} 131 133 118 122 1 lip S 8 90 Si 0i 198} all 1 10s. ail all JOINT-STOCK BANKs.

A disturb ance has taken place at Bucharest among the sol diers of the artillery. The palace of Prince Couza was set fire to several times, but on each occas i on the flames were extinguished before they had made any progress, but the incendiaries hav e not ye t b een arrested. These disturbances appear to be connected with those which broke out at Ismail and at Bolgrade, and not Belgrade, as erroneously given by the telegram. Prince Couza has returned to Bucharest to be present at the approaching close of the Chambers. gMi THE FRENCH PRE.S ON LORD JOHN RUSSELL. If Lord John Russell be not completely crushed by the " disdain" of M. Grandguillot of the Con stitutionnel. it may comfort him to know what jour nals that have some claim to consideration and independance say of the veteran Liberal :•.(6 Lord John Russell," says the Temps, " Who is raised to the Peerage with the title of Earl Russell, has just bid farewell to the city of London. England mgy have had greater, or more, brilliant statesmen, but she hag never had ailY who placed more honest convictions, more per severance, and more devotedness in the promo tion of liberal ideas than he. Lord John Russell's has been a noble and laborious career, and it is one to which England owes a great deal. Electoral referm has been, as it were, the great dream of his existence. Free trade found him at the proper moment; and reli gious freedom has had no more persistent and conscientious advocate. in more recent times, and as Minister of Foreign Affairs, he introduced into diplomacy an unwonted frankness. His de spatches are without any reticence; and this sin cerity, everywhere and always deserving of praise, pleases us most of all when it is liberty which is advocated so loftily before the eyes of Europe. Such a man, even when he is not of our opinion, t v i e onnel has not merits far more regard than th a t s h own hi m e which this morning by the Constitution, : i and wn article on fo e r m w us h t i r c e h g t et. there . w rh a e s c n o o n m sti o t t u i reflected that its attacks on the speech of Lord Sohn Russell completely miss their aim, since the h ea d of the Foreign-office took the greatest care to leave out of the question the intentions of the French Government. Lord John Russell, moreover, only spoke of the Island of Sardinia ; and our readers have not forgotten those words in which the future of all Europe is reviewed with a loftiness and a firmness of hope truly worthy of the Minister of a great and free people." Even the Gazette de France forgets its extreme opinions on religion and politics, and exposes the unutterable absurdity of M. Grandguillot talking of his " disdain" for Lord John Russell. M. Grand guillot expressed his surprise that Lord John had not " imposed silence on Mr. Kinglake" when al luding to Sardinia. "It is easy to see," observes the Gazette de France, " That M. Grandguillot has taken the affair in a tragic point of view, which, if it do not justify his disdain,' may at least explain it in a certain de gree. But the tragic passion appears to have car ried him beyond what tragedy itself permits. He must know that in . England no one imposes silence' on a member of Parliament, even when he does yield to unjust suspicions;' and a Minister who should try to impose silence' would be soon called to order, not only by the unanimous cry of the house, but by the feeling of the whole country. There is not an Englishman, how vulgar' soever (M. Grandguillot's epithet), who would not feel him self hurt in his dignity as n man and a citizen by such a pretension. Moreover, are the declarations of M. Cavour,' that were not wanting in energy on several occasions, which we need not repeat, of a na ture to give incontestible value' to those of his suc cessor, however.' energetic' they may be ? However disposed one may be to disdain' other people, a little memory , is not a thing to be disdained' when we wish to judge the present by the past. The capital defect of disdain is to reduce the thing to itself. However grand and perfect M. Grandguillot may be in his own esteem, it seems to us difficult I hat he can reasonably hope to completely mould Europe to his own fashion. He would, perhaps, find England, for instance, rather hard to mani pulate in this way, and she would probably ener getically resist M. Grandguillot's handling. Instead of trying to crush the statesmen of. Great Britain with the weight of his ' disdain,' M. Grandguillot would, in our opinion, do much better if he tried to refute the errors they may commit." "In the days when there were such things as semi-Official journals," observes the Siecle : ." One might be disturbed by the long article of the Constitutionnel on the speech of Lord John Russell. In that article the English Minister of Foreign Affairs is handled roughly. It calls him ' Don Quixote ",and ill-bred boy ,' ' a ranter,' 8:c. He is described as ' burning incense on the alter of popularity,' as throwing the telunz itnbelle of the Parthian ;" he breaks open, with much comic noise, a door which he perfectly knew was open ;' he is intoxicated with applause won by ex citing thevery worst passions,' &c. What a crowd. ,of metaphors ! We ask can Lord John ever con sole himself for all that he has thus brought upon his bead ?" The " mediatised" Debuts observes : " We should like to know what answer Lord John Russell would give to an English journal that asked him what alliance he would seek if Franca accepted the rupture with which he menacts her ? What Government in Europe has not causes of complaint against the English Cabinet ? What support did Lord J. Russell find on the continent when ho had the pretension to prevent the annexa tion of Savoy, or even to modify the conditions cn which that extension of French territory was effected ? The Constitutionnel sharply reminds him that France took Nice and Savoy against the will of England. If a similar case again occurred, what guarantee has 'Lord John Russell that his remon strances would not be received in Europe with the same mocking indifference with which Austria, Prussia, and Russia replied to him in the affair of Savoy ?" The Constitutionnel said:— " The provocation of this enfant terrible, let him be well persuaded of it, will find our country proud and impassable at this day as it was at the period when we annexed Nice and Savoy against the will of England. England, let it be well borne in mind, then protested with much less bragging before the thing was done." The article of the Constitutionnel will not do much in neutralizing the effect produced by the article of the Patrie ; nor will it add much force to the Communique inserted in this journal. In the meantime the Moniteur remains discreetly silent on the affairs of Sardinia. • TILE BUILDERS' STRIKE. The deputation from the masons' committee, who waited by request upon some of the employers on Friday last, to discuss terms for an amicable settle ment of the dispute, made their report to the com mittee on Saturday. They stated the interview lasted more than four hours. They informed the employers they were instructed to make the terms of the compromise previously offered by the men, viz., 6s. per day of 10 hours for the first five days, with 3s. for Saturday, commencing work at six and leaving off at 12, the basis of any agreement. With respect to the terms for the first five days there was no difference of opinion, but it was proposed by the employers that the time for leaving work on Satur day should be extended to one o'clock, the extra hour being paid as overtime, or that the hour of commencing work should be seven o'clock, instead of six, leaving off at one.

This diminution has been caused by nearly 300 having obtained work under the compromise, about 300 having gone to work in the country, and from 20 to 30 having 'returned to work under the hour system.
