CITY, Two o'CLocK, The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with much animation, and compared with Friday's rates prices of all kinds were extreme. The sales comprise 15,000 bales, (2,000 export, and 4,000 speculation American), 300 Pernam and Maranham 60. to 7d., 700 Egyptain 6/d. to 9 3 / 4 d., 200 Surat 40. to 50., 100 Sea Islands 12J. to 16d. There was no apparent change in the aspect of the Railway Share Market. The advices from New York by the Canada, re ceived this morning, represent the money market as having been rather easier, but the various bank og establishments were cautious in their opera ions. If the imports continued as extensive as for aorae time previously, however, the efflux of specie would necessarily occasion a recurrence of tempo rary pressure. During the week ending the 4th instant the imports of merchandise exceeded the exports to the value of 3,455,681 dollars. The spring trade is described as having progressed in a most satisfactory manner. Monetary affairs had improved, credit was good, and the increased imports had augmented the general revenue for the quarter. The receipts of goods from foreign parts for the first three months of this year were equal to $51,871,305, against $35,200,366 in the corre 'Pending period of the preceding year. The peace Europe, and the general prosperity of the United States had produced a feeling of confidence among all classes of the mercantile community. On the Vienna Bourse, towards the close of last Week, there was a favourable reaction in the Aus trian Funds, which had previously ruled heavier at lower quotations. The 5 per Cent. Metallics rose i to E5l, and the 44 Stock was firm at 77. Austrian Railway Shares advanced 21 florins to 263 i, and the New Bank of Credit 1 florin to 345. Money continued to be easier, and foreign ex changes lower. On London 10-3, and on Paris 1191. Accounts from the Berlin Bourse state that business has been very inanimate during the last few days, and the P. ussian Funds are languid, Without any variation in previous quotations. The 3 i per Cents. remain at 86i. The following are the particulars of the specie on board the Peninsular and Oriental Company's ateam•ship Indus, which was to leave Southampton for India, China, &c., yesterday :--- Alexandria (gold) Bombay (Ailver) Ceylon (gold) Madras (silver) Calcutta (silver) Total ae33,574 In the market for public securities not the slightest change of importance has occurred, the quotations are almost nominal, and speculative as well as real business is almost suspended. O ccasionally a small purchase of stock is made fo r investment, but no effect is produced upon values. The condition of the money market is rather more favourable to increased It aimation, but there is evidently a disposition to defer operations for the present, induced in some measure, perhaps, by the anxiety to ascertain the te tras upon which peace has been concluded. Con sols for transfer have been 931 4, and for account 43 i 4 all the morning. The New Three per Cents. ar e 9 21 to 93, and the Reduced 92 to 921. The larch Exchequer Bills are Is. premium, and the J une ditto 2s. discount. , "Very few transactions have been recorded in the °reign Market, and some of the 'favourite stocks r ule heavy. Turkish 6 per Cents. are flatter, viz., 98 i tf, but the Guaranteed 4 per Cents. are well supported at 101/ to 102. Russian 5 per Cents. gave bee n d one a t 106, Mexican at 23, and Equa -4.21. New Consolidated at 154. Brazilian Small 'scuds are 99k, and Spanish Active 45g. Dutch 2i Per Cents. are firm at 61k, but the 4 per Cents. are rather lower, viz., 931. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7 ; Mexican, 22 i 2 ; Peruvian, 7744 84 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 534 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 48 50 ; Russian 6 per Cents., 104 6 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 94 6 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 45f 4 ; ditto Deferred, 244 ; ditto Certificates, 51 6 ; ditto Passive, 71 4. _ Fur English Railway Shares there is a quiet but firme r market, and some of the principal lines, in.: Chiding Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and Mid land, are at fuller rates. The foreigh undertakings 41 % maintained at the previous values, and the East Indian aro in favoiar. Reveral bargains arP reported in Foreign Mines, the Joint-Stock Banks are firm, and the miscella neous shares quiet. SURREY SESSIONS—(This Day.) These sessions held by adjournment from Reigate took Placeo this morning at the ~e=sions house, Newington °" r t C ll ewaY, before Thomas Puckle, Esq , chairman, J. E. , " ns im, Esq., deputy chairman, and a full bench of 'alitistrate s . The cilender contained the names of 34 Prisoners for trial. Twenty-nine for felony, and five for laisdemeanonr. There were besides two persons on bail, "wh °s e names are not on the calendar. The grand jury 'laving been sworn, the Chairman said that there du: not aPPear anything in the calendar requiring any special observations" from him. The calendar appeared very light in comparison with that of last year, but that a , chi efly caused by the recent introduction of the New ,Pulinal Justice Act, which empowered magistrates at e ttY Sessions or Police Courts to deal summarily with ma ny cases of felony where the offenders pleaded guilty, otherwise there would be more than three times the slumber of prisoners for trial. That Act of Parliament, he Was happy to say, did not interfere with trial by jury, its the offenders could come here for trial if they pleased. tie must impress upon their minds the necessity of. !larnining all the witnesses at the back of the respective bills,and before they ignored any he should advise them 1 4 : 3 ) send into the court for the original depositions taken before the committing magistrate, as be was sure the cases would not be sent for trial unless a great deal of suspicion was attached to them. In conclusion, if a pri -linner was indicted for a felony and the evidence showed . that it was only an attempt, they must find the bill for thin latter and send the prisoner for trial. The learned Chairman then dismissed the jury to their room. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY:-CLOSING PRICES. Prom the Obicial List: - Thorniest. done. sank Stook 212 • 3 te unit.

The country markets held on Saturday were for the most part but moderately supplied with home-grown wheat, yet the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at drooping cur rencies. Barley was scarce, and in request, at very full prices. All other articles were lower to purchase. The continental markets continue heavy for wheat and flour, on lower terms. The supplies have rather increased. Very moderate supplies of home-grown produce were received up to our markets last week. The imports from abroad consisted of 9,865 qrs. of wheat, 3,240 barley, 29,110 oats, 1,750 beans, 20 peas, 60 tares, 1,680 linseed, 1,356 rape seed, 2,830 Indian corn, 300 sacks and 1,790 brls. of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market, to-day, coastwise, were limited, and those by land car riage were small, though in good condition. The Essex and Kent stands were by no means largely supplied with samples, yet millets generally purchased with extreme caution. Most of the Essex wheats were Bold at a shade under the prices realized on this day se'nnight. Kentish samples moved off heavily, and, in most transactions prices were in favour of buyers by about is per quarter. The show of foreign wheat was good, but a very large portion of it was much out of condition. The business doing in all kinds was limited to small parcels. In prices no quotable change took place. Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper. The show of both English and foreign barley was very moderate. All kinds sold briskly, and a good clearance was easily effected, at very full prices. We had a fair demand tor malt at full quotations—the best samples being worth 80s per quarter. The supply of oats, chiefly foreign, was very extensive, and the oat trade ruled heavy, at a decline in prices of from 6d to is per quarter. Beans sold heavily and late rates were barely supported The sale for peas was heavy at late qultations. The flour trade was very dull at barely previous cur. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE. rencies.

Memoirs, Journal, and Correspondence of Thomas Moore. Edited by the Right Hon. Lord John Russell. Vols. I. to VI. Longman and Co. It has been rather seriously objected to Moore by those who have the readiest eye for the detec tion of anything at all bearing the faintest sem blance of a blemish in the character of a great celebrity, that the pet of fashion was a bit of a tufthunter. He has been accused of sycophancy, of toadeating, of all manner of mean and grovelling tricks of obsequiousness. And these same swarming little despicable imps of depreciation seem to have sprung into being as un accountably and surprisingly as the electric insects apparently called into existence by the late Mr. Cross during the course of some of the more eccen tric of his galvanic experiments. Miserable little gnats of slander summoned into life, as far as we can at all understand, by one casual. phrase incidentally introduced here and there' 'in the course of the Diary—little hobgoblin devils of :Tire conjured up by the utteranceofoneaccidentalabraea dabra ! The simplest thing in the world it happens to be, when looked at for two seconds dispassion ately. As we will very briefly, but very clearly demonstrate. Observe !—here is an instance—a case in point—the microscopic origin of all this monstrous hubbub of vituperation. Moore happens to jot down in his Diary (for example), under date 20th June, 1828—such little "flies in amber " in the way of personal memoranda, as—" Bessy [Mrs. Moore]came to town at twelve to pay visits, &c. . . . Found Lady Davy and Lady Charlemont at home : went thence to Lady Rancliffe's and the Granards, where we were let in also." Where "we were let in !"—there is the whole gist of the charge about toadeating, tufting, sycophancy, obse quiousness —there is the gravamen of the whole of these sneering depreciations of Moore as a.parvenu secretly worshipping the haut ton and the pur sang of the aristocracy. When a little candid consideration would have shown, almost on the instant, how preposterous such deductions from a phrase so trivial really are, under the cir cumstances. " Let in "—why the phrase was as common in those days as the familiar greeting in the streets of "How-d'ye-do ?'' from a passing acquaintance. In her own contemporary Diary Madame D'Arblay, for instance, uses the phrase more than once as a matter of course—talking about being "let in" or about "nut being let in" as the case chanced to be in reference to the round of morning visits. But Moore's own Diary, the very Diary from which this wretched little trumped-up accusa;iou of meanness takes its ri,e, may furnish us readily enough with proof positive as to the folly of the imputation. Turning to the date of May 20th, 1823—a date which w;li be found at Vol. iv., p. ti6—the reader will perceive Moore writ ing quite innocently as to auy of the gabble about the significance for good or evil of the wording of these poor little hoine-memorabilia—" Iu return ing from a saunter to Chitto [Chitway] Val ley, met Lady L. [Lansdowne], and Lord Kerry ; who had walked to call at the eottßssy being,agee[llour said, aes o wn they cot ag sl e ]e asleep. .So much bat were not LET ix, for tins trash about tufthunting on the part of Moore, a charge- 'springing out of two of dre simplest words postdble, used by him according to the fashionable slang of the day in the most natural, littler jaunty, fribbling way im aginable. But then. as Macaulay has admirably said in one of his inimitable Essays (the one on "Frederic the Great"), there are " those abject natures, whose delight is in the agonies of powerful spirits, and iu the abasement of immortal names !" And so Thomas Moore has, in his turn, of late, been paying posthumously the penalty of his wide and enviable reputation. Fortunate for him at least (with his sensitive nature) that be has had to pay it for the most part only posthu inously. It is the penalty, perhaps, also of his literary pec cadilloes—of sins against good taste, some of them even worse than mere peccadilloes. Say, for instance, those abominable, erratic, prurient, sensuous, sen sual, "Poetical works of the late Thomas Little, Esq. ;" of which, however, the noble editor of these memoirs can find it in his heart to talk thus leniently :—" 1 will not enter into the question of the propriety of Moore's earlier poems. Horace is very licentious, yet his Odes are the delight of our clerical instructors and solemn critics. Prior is not very decent, but his tales are pra.isedon a monument iu Westminster Abbey, and defended by our great moralist, Dr. Johnson. Some of Little's Poeins should never have been written, far less published, but they must now be classed with those of other amatory poets, who have allowed their fancy to roam beyond the limits which Morality and decorum would prescribe." They were his literary wild ' oats—sown betimes in his "hot youth when George the Third was King," only to be thought of, we may be sure, at least long afterwards, with feelings of remorseful repentance. Moore thought better of Poetry in time than to render it merely the vehicle for animal passion and animal spirits. As he thought better in time too of wedlock : of which he wrote flippantly in 1807, while yet a bachelor, "I don t know which would put use into the greatest purga tory, matrimony or physic"—lte who afterwards (the cynical sneers of Mr. J. W. Croker, neverthe less notwithstanding) live t during so many years a life of pure domestic. happint-ss: However, in these immature years Moore could err in grdminar as in judgment—mistaking an adjective for au adverb— when he wrote from London, in the April of 1807, to his mother : " The time flies over me here as swift as if I was in the midst of dissipation.'' Very soon, however, he had to brush up both grammar and judgment, and to bestir htinsetf in earnest as a literary adventurer. And he did so, we all know, to very general admiration. His industry, as well as his skill, had to be manifested—for had he not to gather name and fame out of the winds that blow, honey out of the flowersof Pat nassus and money out of the waters of the literary Pactol us ? Competing with such rivals in those glorious games of the poetic amphitheatre ! Scarcely is he arrived in London in 1799 than he is writing about " this wonderful Pizarro of Sheridan's, which is putting all London into fevers 1" A dozen years later he is observing in a letter to the same correspondent— " My friend Lord Byron's poem is doing wonders, and there is nothing talked of but him everywhere; he certainly is * If" then come the most irri tating asterisks in the world, followed by a curt intimation in brackets to the effect that " [the rest of the letter has been lost."' Again, in the year following he tells us, through the same channel " I had a lively letter from Lord Byron yesterday, his last thing (!), the Giaour, is very much praised, and deservedly so ; indeed I think he will dethrone Walter Scott." Sometimes, in truth, he cannot help remarking with a pang about the monopoly of renown in the world of letters shared by those twin giants of Romance and Poetry, as where he says " It is rather discourag ing now to write, when the attention of all the reading world is absorbed by two writers—Scott and Byron ; and when one finds such sentences as the following in the last Edinburgh Review; These novels (Scott's) have thrown evidently into the shade all contemporary prose, and even all recent poetry, except perhaps those inspired by the genius or demon of Byron.'" Yet Moore, in spite of all such casual heartaches and occasional misgivings, contrived to earn " golden opinions," both figurative and substantial, frcm his contemporaries. Did he not out of that. subject of " Rogers's suggestino. Lalla Rookh" obtain in one haul 3,0001. sterling e from the munificent firm of the Messrs. Longman ? Was he not pleasantly, and, as he himself tells us, " particularly flattered" by praise from Leigh Hunt, conveyed through his " Feast of the Poets," spread pretty much about the same time ? Was he not himself amused by the magnificent offer of Lucien Bonaparte's poem to translate an offer which he declin ed ! Not every day did he meet with a genial hearty open-handed fellow like " friend Doug las" on the morrow of obtaining a comfort able legacy of 10,0001. left him by the re cently deceased Duke of Queensbury, and who could then and there say to him with a slap-on-the back sort of flourish " Now, my dear little fellow, you know I'm grown rich : there is (sic) at present seven hundred pounds of mine in Coutts's bank ; here is a blank cheque which you may fill up while I am away for as much of that as you may want." A high-flown offer of bounty which, of course, Moore never accepted. Hard cash, indeed, coming in from his publishers freely enough to render him generally independent of such gratuitous and incidental assistance. Ren dering it needless for him, moreover, to resort to the comical shift ascribed by him in a mood of delightful waggery to a ridiculous poetaster among his college acquaintances—of whom saith Moore, with a twinkling laugh in his eye—" Whenever he found himself hard run for money—which was not unfrequently, I believe, the caae— his last • and great resource, after having tried all other expedients, was to threaten to publish his poems ; on hearing which menace the whole of his friends flew instantly to his re lief." Another while we may illustrate more at large the abundant evidence . afforded by Moore's " Diary and Correspondence" of his exquisite sense Of' the ludicrous, of the charm of which the last mentioned anecdote, we take it, is of itself suffi ciently indicative. Enough for our purpose at this moment if we again refer to the various interest excited in our imagination as we glance through -tWae gay and animated' -• pagefl eye - over the leaves fraught with such singular wacellawoolia ontertqamolit. Notin at ; one moment with lifted eyebrows and shrugged-up shoulders, Moore's mention, in 1816, of a letter, then recently received from Lord Byron, in which that eccentric being writes, " There is not existing a better, a brighter, or more amiable creature than Lady Byron"—and to which Byron's future biographer appends these two bewildered queries,—" Is not this odd ? What can be the reason of the separation ?" Another, while we have from him in 1818, the latest news about the premature death of poor Monk Lewis, while mak ing a voyage across the ocean, Moore telling us that it was occasioned by Lewis taking emetics (contrary to advice) for sea sickness. It is curious, moreover, to hear through him from Lord H o ll an d, that " Air. Fox thought Sheridan's Westminster Hall speech trumpery, and used to say it spoiled the style of Burke, who was delighted with it"—Moore who seems to have thought by the way that he him self spoke very well indeed ! backing up my Lord Holland's record of Mr. Fox's opinion, by declaring flippantly for his own part, in regard to Sheridan's Begum Phillippic "Certainly, in the report I have read of it, it seems most trashy b imbast." In com pensation, however, for all this silly stuff in depre ciation of the great orator, we find in this same volume (vol. iii.) preserved for us the following de lightful memento of Sherry's ready recog*tion, in spite of himself, of his son's genius as a humorist. The occasion is thus, so to speak, stenographically related by the biographer of the Orator-Drama tist-Statesman :—" Sheridan, the first time he me- Tom, after th e marr i age o f the latter, seriously a.ngr‘ with him ; told him he had made his will, and had cut him off with a shilling. Tom said he was, indeed, very sorry, and immediately added, ' You don's happen to have the shi!ling about you now, sir, ck you ?' Old S. burst out a-laughing, and they be came friends again." We don't doubt in the lease but that both Tom and Richard Brinsley would together have "burst out a-laughing" had the overheard Moore's own remark about the Lore Chamberlain's office recorded in his Diary just be fore his mention of this anecdote about the shil ling. Having had occasion to observe tha "At the Chamberlain's office all the plays sent to the licenser since the time this office was first instituted are preserved" saith Moore—" What a hell of the damned it must be !" With the cracking of which diabolical joke, we take our leave yet again for a while of the comic cicerone of the " Fudge Family," the purloiner of the " Twopenny Post Bag," the his, torian of " Captain Rock," the Times' Epigram matist, the wag who called himself, even when a boy (Don't you remember it ?) ridiculously " Trismegistus Rustifustius !" SPORTING NOTES. ALL SORTS. The Cannobie case, and the severe comments whici have been made on it, are calculated to exercise a per nicious influence on the Turf. The high social position of the gentlemen who sat in judgment on that case pre clude the idea that they would designedly record an nr. just decision, yet if the representations which have bee. made to me be true both justice and plain-dealing have been daringly defied by the disqualification of Saraban for the Burwell Stakes. Evidence of a most conclusivr character was, perhaps, placed before the Stewards, and. if this supposition be correct, why not place the full par ticulars before the public People dislike the Stat Chamber practice adopted by the Jockey Club, and re gard with suspicion the secrecy which is maintained it dealing with disputed cases. At the instance of Mr Howard, who is part proprietor of Saraband, Mr. Pedle) served the stakeholder with a notice not to pay over thi stakes to the owner of Cannobie, and it is therefore pro bable that the requisite " disclosures " will be made in a court of law. Much diversity of opinion exists with regard to Can noble's running for the Burwell Stakes, some persons maintaining that the horse tired on ascending the hill and others that be would have won easily enough haO his rider possessed the power and the tact to get him) out. To this latter opinion lam inclined to subscribe, and I have no hesitation in recording my convictiol that the one that can beat him can win the Derby. Turfites were somewhat startled from their propriety last week by a rumour to the effect that both Yellov. Jack and The Coroner had been sold for 12,0001., witt, certain contingencies. The report was not without four, • dation, and although the horses are likely to remain az Findon until after the Derby, it is not improbabli tha the bargain is already c)neluded, and that the horse are now the property of Mr. C. 11. Carew. The sal, has exercised a depressing effect upon both Yellow Jacl and The Coroner. pe•iple buingdieinolined to back then until the uncertainty with which they are at presen. surrounded is removed. Wentworth has steadily riser in favour ; he has cleared out the whole lot of the Dane bury youngsters. At least such is the report. Fly•by- Night seems quite gone, and no hopes are entertainer'. that he will "come again." People, therefore, are growing sweet on Sugar Plum, a fine bright chesnut but in my opinion he is only introduced into the market for time serving, money-getting motives. Metropolitan sportsmen are already en route to York, where, if the promi,e which the programme c intains tn. fulfilled, the sport will be sufficiently interesting t compensate them for their long and tedious journp3 Saunter. r will be " put upon his mettle" to defeat a,. opponents likely to be brought against him fur the Ze: - laud Stakes. From the spice of his qualty which he gave us at amcaster, however, I a , n induced to antici pate his succesii. Should he be beaten, either Mag nifier or Madame Clicquot may be the winner. One Act has been freely backed for both the Grea: Northern and Chester Cut. I, however, would rath , r watch the of the \Voodyate's " pots" than assisT, to stir them. Fandango has proved himself a rue horse of first-class pretensions, and I shall couple hin with The Earl to represent my interest. From the fifty-two nominations for the Londeshoroug' Cup, I shall select klospodar, Bourgeoise, Berezina, are Ghika. Should repert be true, and Ellington be brought on' for the Biennial Stakes for three-yr•olds, I shall expec , him to achieve an easy victory. If, however, ho be in capable of pulling through, or should he even win in slovenly manner, few people will afterwards be inclined to " stand him" for the Derby. Unless the dark division contain a "flyer" I see nothing to beat Red White and Blue and Apathy for the Biennial Stakes for two-yr-olds. Uzelia is said to be a "rare good thing" for The Flying Dutchman's Handicap. I shall not express an opinion on the event, because the result will be regulated by to- morrow's racing. The Malton Meeting, as usual, will form an agreeable " pendant" to the gathering at York, and many persons will be induced to assist at its celebration in order to obtain an opportunity of taking stock of the Whitewall horses. Marmion will, perhaps, win the Two-yr-old Stakes. Cossey or Bracken may carry off the Malton Handicap. It would be absurd to make a guess at the result of the other events. April 21. A FRESH MAN.

The controversy with regard to St. James's Park has been brought to a point which, if not consi dered as a final one, is satisfactory enough. There is to be a road from the end of St. James's -street to Buckingham-gate. This road will be cut be tween Marlborough -house and St. James's Palace. It will be carried along the paved road into the Mall, and so in front of the Palace to Buckingham gate. Thus Belgravia and London are for the first time brought into close connection. We should have been more grateful for the concession had it been less tardily made, but at any rate there it is at last. ' The isolation of so principal a quarter of the town as the one which is known as Belgravia was one of the greatest defects in the ground-plan of London, and should long since have been remedied. The ex pense of making this road, including the removal of the German Chapel, will be 21,9001., the chief por tion of wittich sum will, of course, be expended in the remova, -at the building: The operation is to be per forma an a far more extensive scale than we had con templated, but we freely admit that the removal of the chapel and the wider entrance to the Park will be great improvements. The sum required is, after all, trifling enough, when compared with the conse quences of the minutest blunders of the War De partment, and the blunders of that department are not often minute. We are most happy to add that the idea of bisecting the beautiful gardens with a carriage -road is definitively given up. There is, indeed, to be a bridge across the Ornamental Water, but for foot-passengers only. This will be great convenience to the inhabitants of that new district which is now rising between Westminster Abbey and the Belgravian squares. We have not -3, word of objection to offer to Sir Benjamin Hall's lan as far as it goes, but two further changes are iecessary before the Park is fully opened—that is o say, a communication between Pall-mall and itorey's-gate, and an entrance or access from ipring-gardens. We cannot, however, say that -,here has been any very loud expression of opinion upon either of these points. It is obvious enough ..hat if there be a good opening at Marlborough :louse the simple difference will be that the traffic from the city will pass along Pall-mall in place of ;long the Mall in St. James's Park. It will, no doubt, in the end, prove the wiser course to con wet St. James's Park with Charing-cross, for such an improvement would add great beauty to that tuarter of the town, as well as ease the traffic ; out there is no occasion for precipitancy or undue caste. It is most certain that now the Park is - ,artially thrown open it will, in the end, be thrown :pen on every side. Thus, then, two great objects have been ob tained—we have saved St. James's-gardens, and we ,ave obtained a communication between Belgravia and the remainder of the town. Sir Benjamin Hall, n the course of his explanation on Friday night, -,formed the House that it was his intention to any out the third recommendation to the com eittee. This was to the effect that a road should ie opened from Waterloo-place to the Mall, termi iating near Storey's-gate. Sir Benjamin so far isregards the suggestion of the committee that he proposes to leave the Duke of York's pillar standing vhere it is, and to lead the road on either side of t into the park. There appears to be a certain lifficulty with the lessees of the houses on Carlton. ;errace. In their leases a covenant was originally ntroduced to the effect that they were to have the ininterrupted use of the terrace from east to west. Not long afterwards an entrance was cut into the park, and, in consideration of this, and after clue consultation with the lawyers, the ground-rents of he Carlton-terrace lessees were reduced. The luestion is,—did this reduction only cover the ex isting entrance for foot-passengers, or can this be ionverted into a carriage-road without infringe nent of their rights ? This is a question which we ,aust leave Sir Benjamin Hall to settle with the lessees ; but, in the meantime, is there any reason ff hy the road should not be opened from the base if the steps to Storey's-gate? The most important points have already been obtained. St. 'James's gardens are preserved for public use and enjoyment, ind the inhabitants of one of the richest quarters if the town are relieved from isolation. We con 'ratulate them and all Londoners upon the result, end would only ask in addition that this road *cross the parade, which is ready for use, should `as no longer closed. ~Do all all 1O) LOO , 35 I St. 10 .

The receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were very moderate as to number, but their general quality was prime. The at tendance of buyers was large, and the beef trade rifled brisk, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2d per Sibs. The best Scots sold at 4s 8d to 4s 10(1 par 81bs., and a clearance was readily effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, EMS, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,900 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds; from Scotland 360 Soots, and from Ireland, 120 oxen. The show of sheep was again very limited, but in fair condition. For all breeds we had a brisk demand, at 4d per Sibs above the rates obtained on this day aa'anight. The best old Downs in the wool realised 5s 81; out of wool, 5s 2tl per 81bs. Lambs—the supply of which was very moderate—sold slowly, at barely last Monday's currency. The top price was 7s 2d per 81135.. From the Isle of Wight, about 600 head came fresh to hand. We were but moderately supplie4 with calves, which moved off slowly, on former terms. The pork trade was heavy. In prices no change took place. Pe: Sibs to sink the offale. s. d. s. d.I s. d.

Yesterday the band of the Royal Horse Guards Blue layed again in Kensington-gardens, when—owing, loubtless, in a great measure, to the magnificent wea ...ner—very nearly twice as many people were assembled 4on the Sunday previous. The band may be said in ,ome degree to have redeemed its reputation, while the tuthorities concerned in the selection of the ITILHIC cer ainly did more honour to their audience and to the oc -asion which had attracted so vast a crowd. With this Admission we have also "to record that—probably in de forence to the general d;sapproval created by last Sunday's ~ erformance—the very opposite extreme was adopted. fnstead of a programme composed of vulgar dance tunes, ye had now one exclusively devoted to sacred music of the grtvest character. The war march of the Levites, •rom Mendelssohn's rlthaliah , selections from Rossini's -tabat Mater, a chorus from Haydn's Creation (" The leavens are ttl ing"), tWn choruses from The Meniah, The glory of the L Id" and "Halleluj%h"), and an Ave Maria" of Cherubini, were the ....blot ingredients. 1.11 these (arranged for a military orchestra with inge auity and eff-ct, we presume by Mr. Tutton, band oafiter —an .-xcellent and prac , ised musician) were more or less pi-rformed—and indeed, with one exception Flanders " Mdlilyjah"—whlch was taken so (pick, ,nd executed so c rsely, that nearly all its grandeur nd didnitv were lost), as well as could reasonably have oeen expected. The remarks it was our duty to make last week may i_ea-sihly have induced this absolute metamorphosis. If however, they were not exactly appreciated. In ad- Jocating the principle of affording rational and innocent onusement to the people in the shape of mu-ical per formai C 3 on Sunday, after the hours set apart for Divine iervice, we objected to its being offered in so utterly rivial and unedifying a form. We felt convinced that he audience was too good for the music, and that, had , uch an entertainment been provided for them elsewhere and under other circumstances, it would have been re oudiatcd with contempt. But we did not mean by this shat the Sunday programme should be entirely made up if pieces of a grave and uncompromising character. The fault of yesterday's performance was its extreme monotony. All the compositions were very good, but they were too much of a colour. In the selection from the Stabat Mater, for instance, three long pieces imme iiately succeeded each other in, minor keys—the " Pro oeccatis," the "Inflammatus," and the fugued finale. Now, it is more than probable that the difference be tween major and minor keys, and the precise nature of a fugue, were as far from the comprehen sion of 99 out of 100 present as the peculiar philosophy of the Rosicrucians ; nevertheless, although its scientific distinctions might have been caviare to the multitude, the effect of so great a prevalence of sombre music was felt, and the general impression derived from the per formances was one of heaviness, if not of actual bore. We heard— and were delighted to hear—more than one artisan recognise the choruses of Handel and Haydn ; but with three long pieces in minor keys, from Rosini's Stabat, were evidently oppressive, even to these intelli gent persons. Why not contrive an agreeable melange? lay no means resort to polkas, galops, and waltzes ; but t.t the pieces from oratorios and masses be discreetly varied with secular music,-such as the overtures of Wo oer, Rossini, Au her, &c. ; slow m ovements, or scherzi, ,rom the symphonies of Mozart, Beethoven, ) thove (f n, m an ey d et A .b l e e e; n ; reminiscenee•lroai 'the l and others, which, although what is conveviently termed profane music, n ever, we are convinced, engendered Anything worse than harmless delight in the minds of the listeners. None would object to passages from the [ nets being read or pictures of the great painters being contemplated on a Sunday ; there CaO, therefore, he no ra - sfin why beautiful music —which is just as edifying and just as innocuous —should not be heard with impu nity. We demur to mere unmitigated tritiirg ma week days, much more on the Sabbath ; and for this reason, while criticising yesterday's performance as too uni f. Tr:2 , y grave, we are compelled to recur to that of the ,veek previous as trivial and irrelevant. Let the will, however, be taken fur the deed. The intention yesterday was good ; and the whole proceed ings, balancing merits and defi'cts, were entitled to respect. The crowd, though so much greater, was quite as well behaved as the other, and everything passed off with such unmistakeable gratification to all present that there is reasen to hope the question whether the mass of people in this immense metropolis is better employed on Sundays in healthful recreation out of doors than in glo and silent sec,usion may be looked upon as settled. Before quitting the subject of the music in Kensing ton gardens we must once more protest against the general shabbiness of the proceedings. Why should there be only or.e regimentA band when it would be easy to combine two or three f —why should the performers be ill accommodated ?—and why, since it might be ef fected so eaeily and at a mere nominal outlay, is not the platform so constructed as to render the band both visible and audible to the majority ? At present—we repeat— it can neither be heard nor seen with anything like dis• tinctness, unless by those who do not ears about personal discomfort in the search after pleasure. The specie arrivals of the week have amounted to about 500,000/., of which 350,000/, is from Australia, the remainder being chiefly from the West Indies. The shipments are estimated at 700,0001., including those to India and China, and 250,000/. on account of the Turk ish Loan.
