CORN EXCHANGE. Although the country markets held on Saturday were but scantily supplied with wheat, the demand for nearly all kinds was in a sluggish state, at about stationary prices. Fine barley, as well as oats, beans, and peas, realised full quotations, with a good consumptive inquiry. Tho four trade was rather dull. On the continent the trade generally has been in a healthy state, at full currencies. In the United States both wheat and flour have sold at irregular prices. Only limited arrivals of English produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 18,685 qrs wheat, 10,684 barley, 41,256 oats, 6,828 beans, 994 peas, 1,508 tares, 2,464 linseed, 4,307 oil-seeds, 125 maize, 5,381 sundry, 2,491 sacks and 9,550 brls flour. The fresh arrivals of English wheat up to this morning's market were smaller than on Monday last, but the attend ance of buyers was limited, and the trade presented a some what holiday appearance. The transactions for the most part were confined to useful and fine samples, at last Mon day's currency, all inferior qualities being much neglected, and, in many cases, only saleable on easier terms. Most kinds of foreign wheat met a fair retail inquiry, and, generally speaking, the quotations were steadily sup ported. Floating cargoes of grain were tolerably firm in price) but the business doing in them was by no means extensive. Barley continues in steady request, at fully previous cur rencies. Good and fine malt ruled firm in price ; but inferior sorts were a dull sale. For all description of oats, we have to report a stead: demand, and the value of good and fine samples was fairl : mentioned. Beans sold steadily at the extreme rates of Monday last. Peas were a slow inquiry; nevertheless, prices ruled firm. The flour trade was inactive, yet no quotable change took place in the currencies, compared with this day so'nnight.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on sale in to-day's market. Amongst it were 100 oxen from Spain in good condition. On the whole the trade was inactive, at about last week's prices. Although the show of home-fed beasts was rather limited the demand for all breeds was in a sluggish state. Some Scots and crosses realised last Monday's currency —viz. from 4s 8d to 4s 10d per Sibs, otherwise, the beef trade was the turn in favour of buyers. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,400 Scots, &c. ; from other parts of England, 300 various breeds; and from Scotland, 720 Scots and crosses. The general quality of the beasts was prime. Really prime Down sheep were scarce, and in request, at from 5s to 5s 2d, and, in some instances, 5s 4d per 81bs ; all other breeds, however, were a slow inquiry, at the prices realised on this day se'nnight. Prime lambs were in fair request, at Thursday's decline in value. Inferior lambs were very dull, but not cheaper. The veal trade was heavy, at a decline in prices, com pared with Monday last of 8d per Sibs. The top quotation was 5s per 81bs. We have to report a slow sale for pigs at last week's .___ prices.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ALLEGED POSSESSION OF STOLEN PROPERTY.—Thos. Gilfillan, described as a general dealer, of Castle-street, Leicester-square, was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with being in possession of a large roll of canvas and other pro perty, believed to be stolen. Mr. Lewis, sen., appeared for the prisoner. • From the evidence of Sergeant Harrison it appeared that on Saturday night, about half-past ten, ho saw the prisoner come up Cecil-court with a large roll of canvas on his shoulder. He went after prisoner, who passed his own shop in Castle-street, and asked what he had got. He replied, " a roll of canvas," and that he was going to take it to St. Martin's-lane, where he had to meet a man, bat as he had come from that direction he took him into custody. Butcher, 137 0, proved going into prisoner's shop some time after the prisoner was taken into custody, and while waiting outside he saw the prisoner's servant girl come out with a small roll of canvas of a finer description than the largo one. Mary Ann Smith, the prisoner's servant, said her mis tress told her to take the roll of canvas and to go with a man who was in the parlour. She went out bgo with the man when the constable came up to her and stopped her. Inspector Holden said some new hearthrugs were found at the prisoner's house. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, offering to take ,wo sureties bail in £2O each for his future appearance. DOCTOR GRIMALDI'S ROTATORY BOILER. When steam-engines were first made available for raising water and other purposes a great stimulus was given to mining operations, and manufacturers and the general public were satisfied with the results obtained ; but it was only the few enterprising and daring spirits who had triumphed so far who were not content, and still struggled on through difficulties and against opposition to greater results ; and it was only slowly, step by step, that the steam-engine advanced to its present excellence. Changes come about so gradually that it is only by looking back that we can see the advance that science has made. When George Stephenson obtained the sanction of Par liament for the construction of the first railway, he was advised not to guarantee more than 12 miles per hour, lest the Legislature should deem him an imposter, and for some time after 30 miles per hour was the greatest speed which could be obtained from a locomotive engine. What would our ex press travellers say to' that now ? Dr. Grimaldi has made a :aitep in progrec3, by the invention of his rotatory boiler, the object of which is to effect a saving in fuel, durability in the boiler, and an economy in sp ace . W e recently i nspected ' a boiler of this description at Mr. Knowelden's machine shop, Chapel-place, Long-lane, Bermond sey. The boiler in question is of three horse power and in shape is cylindrical, with curved end, to which trunnions are affixed upon which the cylin der revolves. One of these is tubular, to allow the steam to escape to the steam-chest, and for the ad mission of water. The extreme length of the boiler is 19 inches and its diameter 18 inches. It is constructed of ordinary boiler plate. The fire-grate is. 16 inches long by 12 inches broad, and the whole is entirely enclosed in brick work. Over the boiler there is a supplemental flue, intended to carry heat to the steam chest, which is situated in an enlargement of it, for the purpose of superheating, after which it joins the main flue. The revolutions of the boiler are about 1+ per minute, the rotation being effected by an endless strap connected with the engine. During seven hours the quantity of coal consumed was 1221 b., and during that time 90 gallons of water were evaporated. This being the first boiler of the kind employed, it is of course susceptible of improvement; but these results from the present trial are conclusive, namely, that economy is effected by bringing all parts of the cylinder in contact with the fire, for while the boiler was rotating the pressure of the steam was 72 lbs., but the strap being put out of gear in a few minutes it fell to 64 lbs., and on the boiler being again put in motion it again rose to the higher pressure. It stands likewise to reason that where the fire acts on all portions of the surface the boiler must last longer than when it acts only on a potion; and lastly, the same power is obtained from this boiler of only 19 inches in length, which, in the ordinary common boilers, would require a length of about six feet. For small steamers it would be invaluable, as also for workships, and where space is an object of great importance. Objections may be raised as to its liability to get out of repair, but we do not see that the objection applies to this more than other mechanical contrivances. There are one or two minor points on which an improvement might, and doubtless will be ? effected ; but this will be, .of course, a matter of experience, and we consider Dr. Grimaldi's invention well worthy the inspection and consideration of scienti fic engineers. DISCONTINUANCE OF THE PACKET SERVICE BETWEEN GALWAk AND AMERICA. The Atlantic ROyal Mail Steam Navigation Company having failed to fulfil the stipulations of their contract for the conveyance of mails between Galway and America, the Postmakter-General, with the approval of the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, has declared that contract at an end. No mails for Newfoundland or the United States will therefore be despatched from Galway on Tues day next, the 21st inst., or on any succeeding Tuesday. All letters, Bcc., for Newfoundland will hence forth be forwarded via Halifax. By command of the Postmaster General, ROWLAND HILL, Secretary. General Post-office, 18th May, 1861. SEEDS.

THE FICTITIOUS BURIAL CASE.—The three per sons, Mr. and Mrs. Higgins and Devereux, the attorney's clerk, who were brought up at the Head Police office, Dublin, on Monday last, and remanded on a charge of con spiracy to defraud the Court of Chancery, were again brought up on Saturday for further examination. The charge was, that the male prisoner Higgins represented his wife to be dead, and buried in Glasnevin Cemetery, and on the strength of that representation, and on the production of a duly attested will made by his wife, drew a sum of £5OO out of the Court of Chancery. Devereux was charged with assisting in the commission of the offence. It was lately discovered that Mrs. Higgins was alive, and that the coffin which she was supposed to have occupied contained only a bag of sand and some stones and rags. The evidence given yesterday tended to confirm the charge of fraud against the three prisoners, and also to inculpate at least one other party.

I have always entertained a high opinion of this horse. From his action and staying powers he is just the sort of animal to climb the Epsom hills, and if he do es not pay his respects fi rs t t o th e j udge he will be nearer the winning horse than he was in the Two Thousand. Last Tuesday one large north -country bookmaker offered 3,500 to 1,000 agst Mr. Merry's horse, and 600 to 500 that Diophantus beats him "first past the post." 4to 1 was frequently betted agst Dundee "on the quiet," and the same odds taken about Lord Stamford's horse. At first 25 to 1 was offered agst Itettiedrune, whe was reported to havd done no work since the Two Thou sand, but subsequently he was backed for upwarls of X2OO at 20 to b The horse has been indulged since he ran at Newmarket, and has had a dose of physic, preparatory to being removed south to finish his preparation. King of Kent, about whom as little as 20 to 1 was taken to money in the course of the week, got a " settler" on Saturday. He put his shoulder out in the morning, and the news was soon flashed to London and Manchester, to those anxious to "get a tanner." However, the real truth was soon "blazed" in the City on Saturday, when a person who had been " forestalled" let the murder out by offering " fifty pounds to a cheroot" against him. The absence of much of the metropolitan element from York was particularly notice able in the Ring, which was large enough, nevertheless, for the number of backers, - many of whom had an awful time of it, as almost every favourite got bowled over. Beyond the reduction to £5O of the Rawcliffe Company's bonus to the stake named after their stud, the only noticeable changes in the programme were in the courses for The Flying Dutchman's Handicap and Londesborough Cup, the distance for the former being reduced from a mile and a half to a mile and a quarter, and for the latter from one mile to the T.Y.C. All things con sidered, the sale of the Raweliffe yearlings on Tuesday morning was far more successful than for many years past, and but for the niggardliness exhibited in making the at tractions of the sale sufficiently publid—whether the fault of the manager or the auctioneer is immaterial—the share holders of the Company would in all probability have had a far larger dividend to receive. This week being Whit suntide, the cheap facilities of travel afforded by the various railways will enable the pleasure folk of the metropolis to enjoy a day or two's racing at either Bath, Manchester, or Harpenden. The former will, doubtless, prove the most attractive, now that we are on the eve of the great Epsom event, the speculation on which has lately been subject to such extraordinary "chops and changes" that every one who can manage at all is sure to be present at the "knock ing out" meeting, to learn the last move regarding the im pending drama, which has now so short a time to run. The bill of fare issued by Mr. E. Reynolds is of an unusually interesting character, no fewer than ten of the twelve items to which it extends having already secured excellent entries. Five horses are engaged in the Trial Stakes, the weights for which stand thus :—Crater, 4 yrs, 9st llb ; Buccaneer, 4 yrs, Bst 81b; Paul Clifford, 3 yrs, 7st ; Cronstadt, 3 yrs, 6st 111 b ; and Lady Elizabeth, 3 yrs, Est 111 b. Buccaneer, in the absence of Crater, will prove the most trustworthy. The runners for the Three Year Old Biennial may com prise Cashio, Russley, Camarino, Damascus, Antwerp, Overstone, Vinegar Hill, Jingling Johnny, Lisbon, and one of Lord stamford's. I have not included Kildonan or Big Ben, as they will, in all probability, be reserved for the Derby. Russley has an allowance of 31bs, and he ought to credit the stakes to Mr. Merry, his only dangerous opponent being Damascus, who has greatly improved since last year. The Kelston Stakes has ten nominations, and I prefer the chance of Twilight. In the Two Year Old Biennial there are forty-two youngsters engaged, but as Balerino and Tolurno are amongst them, I need not look further for the winner. In the Bath Handicap, Highflyer has no penalty for his performance last week at Salisbury, and to him I leave the race. The Somersetshire Stakes has an acceptance of forty-one, comprising no fewer than twenty three-year-olds. Moor cock, Schism, Eskdale, Bumble Bee, Plumper, South Australian, Farmer from Kerry, Russley, Anthem, Ipswich, the Intimidation colt, and West End have the hest of the weights. Eskdale, if this is his journey, ought to have no difficulty in disposing of the moderate lot that will oppose him; the next in my estimation being Bumble Bee and the Intimidation colt. Febrifuge, Patriot, and Discretion shall do duty for me in the Weston Stakes, and I prefer them in the order named. There will be three days' sport at Manchester, but the majority of the events are scarcely worth noticing. In the Union Cup, one mile and a quarter, John Osborne's stable is very threatening with Wildman and Sutton, and if any beats the former it will be Man-at-Arms. In the Sapling Stakes I expect to see Zetland perform better than ho did last week. If doomed to defeat it will be by Ethel. Mr. Merry has Folkestone and Starlight engaged in the Manchester Produce Stakes, and whichever represents him shall do the same for me. Ivanhoff, after his easy victory at York, should have no difficulty in securing the Trades men's Cup. The Harpenden Meeting takes place on Friday, but as nearly all the horses engaged belong to two or three stables they are not worth offering an opinion en by A FRESH MAN. BETTING AT MANCHESTER, SATURDAY. There was :net much business done to-day. For the Derby, Dundee improving since yesterday, was supported at 7 to 2, and that, with the exception of King of Kent, was the only change noticeable in the front division. Almost any price could have been got against outsiders, amongst whom we must now place Big Ben and King of Kent. 1,000 to 10 was laid against the former, and freely offered against the latter. 1,000 to 10 was offered against any of Scott's lot bar one. For the Somersetshire Stakes the only animal that we saw supported _was Bumble Bee at 6 to 1, although West End and Moorceek had their friends, but the price wanted could not be obtained ; and very little more was done on any of the Manchester events.—Closing prices : TEM DERBY. 7to 2 agst Dundee (taken) sto 1 agst Diophantus (offered) Bto 1 agst Klarikoff (taken) Bto 1 agst Rouge Dragon (offered) 10 to 1 agst Kildonan (offered, take 11) 13 to 1 agst Dictator (taken) 20 to 1 agst Kettledrum (taken) 20 to 1 age* Imam (taken) 50 to 1 agst Royalieu (offered, take 66) 66 to 1 agst Grouse (taken) 100 to 1 agst Big Ben (taken) 100 to 1 agst King of Kent (offered) 100 to 1 agst Knight of the Thistle (offered) 100 to 1 agst Robin Hood (offered) SOMERSETSHIRE STASES. 6to 1 agst Bumblee Bee (taken and offered) Bto 1 agst West End (offered) 10 to 1 agst Moorcock (offered) UNION CUP. 10 to 1 agst Cape Flyaway (taken) 10 to 1 agst Flirtation (taken) TRADESMEN'S CUP. 3to 1 apt Ivanhoff (taken) HORSES STRUCK OUT_ OF THEIR ENGAGE- MENTS.

(From the Money Market Review.) We have more than once called attention to the vast unproductive expenditure which is going on —not only on the continent but in this country. It is sapping the fo un d a ti ons o f material prosperity, and, if Continued only for two or three years longer, will brill , ' about an amount of discontent which a wise Government would do well to avert by timely retrenchment. The amount of taxation raised in this country is something monstrous, and, if we mistake not, is more in the aggregate than the public have any idea of. By an official paper we perceive that there were in the Banks of Er,ightod and Ireland : Exchequer Cash Balances en 21st Mara, 1 860, amo un t e d to 47,983,8C0 The R evenue for the year ending 31st March, 1861 , amounted to 73,614,880 X 81,508,240 The cash balances on 31st March, 1861, standing to the credit of the Exchequer, were £6,775,329 ; consequently, the actual expenditure for the year 1860.1 was £74,922,920. Thus, the expenditure of the year 1860-1 amounted to the huge sum of £1,422,000 per week. That expenditure is still going-on, and yet people wonder at money being scarce ! The fact is, capital is being absorbed far too largely by the expenses of the State. This is. further proved if, as Mr. Gladstone recently ob served, we are spending £20,000,000 per annum. more than we did a few years ago. Surely, as the i p e e t o e p e l e l e o s f e ree m England m er e i a a n l d r e F I a r t a i e n n c s e , a i t r e i s a h b i g o u h t t i t m o e e t n h t a e t r the two Governments should come to some definite understanding with regard to reducing their re espxepcetnivdeituarrme.aHmeanwtse,lsaenids,eoams m a e r c c o e n t s oe q h u e e e n x c t e e , n d t h e e d i r The troubles which have broken out in America render it the more imperative that the most cordial and intimate understanding should exist between England and France. It seems to us that England. ought to look with jealousy upon the amount (short of a really excessive amount) of land force which. France may deem it necessary to maintain, bat She has every reason to be jealous and watchful as. re gards the increaae in the French navy. Surely some arrangement might be arrived at between the two Governments on these points. As daily witnesses of the anxieties of those con cerned in commerce, we are not merely serving the , cause of our constituents in advocatingretrenchment, but that of good government and peace. There is a general and bitter complaint of the state of trade, and of the limited amount of expenditure that is going on among private individuals as compared with ordinary times. The shopkeeping class especially suffer, and, through them, the wholsale houses. The scale of the national expenditure fully accounts for this. No one but those who dive beneath the surface can, perhaps, appreciate the effect of an additional 10 or 20 mil lions per annum being abstracted from the pockets of the people for unproductive expenditure. It is precisely this active money which, spent by the public at home in comforts (or luxuries if you will) would cause activity in our home trade, and vivify commerce. The mere working of the machine of Government is absorbing a far larger amount of capital than can be spared by the money market, or by our internal or foreign trade. Individuals are obliged to s p en d less, because th e S tate spends more. In all ages this has 'peen accounted a lamentable symptom. It is a system which cannot be permanent, because in the end it must exhaust the country, and then be corrected. But is it not better to correct the evil before the process of exhaustion is completed ? We must say we are surprised at the lukewarmness dis played in this vital matter by the representatives of commercial constituencies in the House of Commons. Rarely is anything heard when millions are being voted away, save a feeble remonstrance. As to rival cabinets, the race between Whig and Tory seems to► be as to which can spend money the faster or pile up the higher the already vast expenditure in the annual balance sheet. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer simultaneously deprecates the present scale of public expenditure, and sanctions it; whilst • Lord Palmerston, a mocking master of the situa tion, is applauded vigorously by the official claqueurs, when he turns aside by some poor jest remonstrances which swell up from the very heart of the nation. YEW FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' BILL. - Last year the large Friendly Societies were caused much trouble in having to procure and pre sent petitions against a bill then in progress in the Commons, which contained many objectionable clauses, and the Act as passed was considerably modified. On the Bth inst. another new bill was ordered to be printed, which seeks to provide for the delivery to every subscribing member of a copy of the balance-sheet or statement of his society once every twelvemonth, or in default a penalty of £5 may be inflicted upon the secretary, treasurer, or other officers. The bill specifies the particulars to be contained in the balance-sheet, viz., the amount of receipts, gross and net amount of expenditure, distinguishing the sums paid to officers or for management, gross and net, the date of the estab lishment of the society, the total sums received and expended since that date, the assets and liabilities, and the number of members. There can be no doubt that it is very desirable such an account should be issued by every society, but this mode of enforcing it will fail. It is well known that many isolated local clubs do not make any return because their position will not bear scrutiny, and they must be left to die out, as they assuredly will. On the other hand, the reliable societies, and especially the large affiliated orders, do not furnish the desired accounts to members in the separate branches, but if this bill passes the statements of each district of the chief officer of the society must also be given each member at an enor mous expense, and for no useful purpose, as at pre sent a copy of ea c h i s c i rcu l ate d and read in eachlodge. Anoth er consequence o f the bill passing will be that respectabl e an d resp onsible members who now act as trustees, will no longer do so when any member may maliciously drag them to the police-court, if he has not received, p er h aps b y acci dent, an account which he may have by asking. Experience has proved that whenever pressure is put upon the secretaries of working men's societies no good results, for to escape a fine any figures are hurriedly put together, and the members and public thus lose the benefit of a true return. The bill has caused much agitation in Friendly Society meetings, and petitions are in active pro gress against its becoming law. The members naturally ask when an d where legislative inter ference with them is to cease ; instead of aiding their efforts to put the clubs upon a right footing, this frequent l aw - making retards them, for, in cluding that of last 'session, no less than 28 acts have been passed in 70 years, said to have been for the encouragement of Friendly Societies, but which have only caused confusion. The members also claim to know best how to manage their own affairs, and urge that if a society is not safe accounts will not prove it so, any more than the last balance-sheet of the Royal British Bank proved its solvency.
