CITY, Two O'CLOCK. There has been a very moderate 'demand for money in the discount market to-day, and the rates have remained without the slightest alteration. A large supply of gold, amounting to about £lOO,OOO, was purchased by the Bank of England yesterday. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon ex hibited a slight decline in the rate •on Paris, but the quotations for Antwerp, Vienna, and Trieste were rather higher. The half-yearly dividend of 10 per cent. on Ecuador Consolidated Bonds, due on the Ist of May, 1860, will be paid on and after the 22d proximo. It was announced yesterday afternoon that Messrs. F. Harrison and Co., in the woollen trade, had suspended with liabilities estimated at from £40,000 to £50,000. A call of £1 10s. per share, amounting together to £225,000, is due on Monday, the 26th inst., on the Midland Railway £6 4s. shares. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £310,300, and the exports £229,700. The directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company have declared a dividend of 3s. 3d. per share for the half year, and carried forward about £7,000. The directors of the Commercial Union Fire In surance Company have received a definite offer from one of the leading and old established insurance offices for an amalgamation, upon terms which give the shareholders of the former an immediate and highly satisfactory dividend. A meeting will be held at the earliest opportunity for the purpose of obtaining the sanction of the subscribers. The shares are firm this morning ate -it premium. _ _ _ The suspension is announced of the old-established house of Frederick Harrison and Co., in the woollen trade, with liabilities of about £45,000. Annexed is the circular issued : " 7 and 8, Bow-churchyard, Aug. 23. " I regret to inform you that, owing to the decease of Mr. Harrison, I find it impossible to carry on the business, and have deemed it expedient to suspend payment. The estate has been placed in the hands of Messrs. Honey, Humphrys, and Honey, accountants, of 14, Ironmonger lane, in this city, who will investigate and report upon the affairs as soon as possible.—Requesting your forbearance in the meantime, I am, sir, " HENRY LASRBROOKE, Surviving Partner of the firm of Frederick Harrison and Co."

SATURDAY r, ENING. AUGUST 24, TIIB BARON DE VIDIL. The Baron de Vidil at the conclusion of the trial, and after he had quitted the dock, was placed amongst the ordi nary prisoners in Newgate. He seemed to be greatly dis appointed at the verdict returned against him, as he had fully made up his mind for an acquittal. _ _ _ The sentence, 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour, will be carried out at the Hour= of Correction, Ca,ld-bath fields—the occupation of the inmates in that establishment being either picking oakum or working " the mill." The Baron will remain until Monday or Tuesday in New gate, when be will be removed to the above prison, and there have to undergo the usual process of bathing, shay ing, and haircutting. He will also have to wear the prison dress, which consists of a coarse hodden grey suit; with a distinguishing badge on one of his arms. The diet he will receive during his imprisonment will be exactly the same as that served out to the other prisoners. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day) OLD COURT. • (Before the Common Sergeant.) EMBEZZLEMENT. Edward Key was indicted for embezzling certain sums of money, the property of his employer. The prisoner withdrew his plea of not guilty, and pleaded guilty to the charge. The Common Sergeant sentenced him to four months' imprisonment. There were two other ca , es t ) be tried, one in which the defendant Morris did not surrender to his bail, and the other a charge of highway robbery, in which the prose•. cutor did not attend, and consequently the prisoners were discharged. This concluded the business of the session. POLICE IarTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE " COMMISSIONAIRES • " AND THE " PUBLIC MES SENGERS."—A sergeant of Vie Commissionaires attended before Mr. Yardley, accompanied by one of a body of men who, being discharged from the corps, have started in a similar line, wear a somewhat similar uniform, and who call themselves " Public Messengers." The Sergeant said he was requested by the Adjutant to state that some of the men wore a similar uniform to theirs, but that they were men who had been discharged for mis conduct. The man in court had by some means become possessed of the insignia worn'on their caps (a sword and anchor crossed in metal on a red ground of cloth), the wear ing of which deceived the public. All they required was that the insignia should be returned. Mr. Yardley to the Messenger—Where did you get it from. Messenger—l bought it of a man. Sergeant—Tie being an old hand, your worship, ought to know that discharged men are ziot at liberty to sell them, and Captain Walter holds the die from which it is struck. The men when they are discharged give up their uni forms, &c. Messenger—As I bought it 1 consider 1 have a right to wear it. It is my property. Mr. Yardloy—Then a summons shall issue against you fa- the illegal possession of it. Messenger—lf I give it up at once will the summons issue P Mr. Yardley—No. You had better give it up. The Messenger then gave up the required insignia. It appears that some of the men of the Corps of Commis sionaires, having for misconduct been discharged, have formed a corps and adopted a dress similar to that of the Commissionaires, but wear on their caps the words " Pub lic Messenger," instead of that of " Commissionaire," the latter having on.their collars also the letters "C. C." It would be well, therefore, for persons to see whom they em ploy, so that a well-behaved and respectable body of men should not have discredit brought on them.

As they came on to the distance Commander fell back, and Annette a second time took the command. On coming past the . Stand the front lot swerved over the course very much, and Turn of Luck got up to the American filly's quarter, and the two raced in side for side by a few strides, when turn of Luck got her head in front and won easily by three lengths; two lengths between the Second and third ; the favourite was close up, fourth ; Summer Breeze bringing up the rear.

Scent continued with the lead round the back stretch and up to the half-distance, where she was collared by Oxford, who soon passed her, and won cleverly by threo parts of a length.

Half way along the far side Opti mist shot out and quickly passed the Lawyer and De fender, but he was not permitted to continue in front for long, as The Lawyer a mile from home passed Mr. Ten Broeck's horse, and came on along the straight (hard held), Defender falling back in the rear, at the distance Optimist and Bay Shirley got up to The Lawyer's quarters, but could not get closer; The Lawyer winning easily by a length ; Bay Shirley was a bad third ; Defender did not pass the post.

Mr. Golby's The Stooper, 9st 101 b (G. Stevens) w.o. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY. Bally Edmond is not in great force for the Ebor Handi cap in this morket ; 8 to 1 was taken to a little money, but it was also offered. Lady Trespass was very firm, whilst Virgilius receded to Bto 1 (offered). Prologue was freely laid against, and as freely backed ; and it was difficult to say which were the stronger party, the layers or backers. A commission to back Voltella, after some trouble, was got on at 100 to 9 ; immediately afterwards 100 to 8 was offered and 100 to 7 laid, but at the close 100 to 8 was the highest offer. We had a very full attendance of the members, but the business done was almost confined to Lady Trespass and Prologue. Closing prices := BRITISH POSSESSIONS. Railways.

BRITISH ARCH2EOLOGICkL ASSOCIATION.—On Wednesday the members of this association, after visiting For Abbey, Dorsetshire, repaired to Ottery St. Mary, where they were received by Sir John Coleridge, who gave_ a sumptuous entertainment at the Town-hall. Among those present were Sir S.. H. Northcote, M.P., Mr. J. D. Coleridge (barrister-at-law). Mr. Daw, Mr. Pettigrew, and Mr. Davis. Sir S. Northcote proposed the health of Sir J. Coleridge in a brief speech. The right hon. gentleman responded in equally brief terms, and the company then proceeded to pay a visit to Ottery St. Mary Church, which was restored about ten years ago, principally through the exertions of Sir J. Coleridge. The structure is said to be contemporaneous with Exeter Cathedral in point of anti quity, and is now a most beautiful specimen of church re storation.

The arrival of the Victoria and Albert in Kings town Harbour at 11 o'clock this evening, under a weeping sky, and in a misty atmosphere, which gave the royal vessel almost a spectral appearance, dissipated a host of hopes, fears, and uncertainties with which the Irish metropolis had been fille4 for the whole of the previous week. After some short delay, the vessels dropped their anchors, and the royal yacht made herself con spicuous by taking up a position different from that which any other vessel would be permitted to take, namely, broadside on to the shore, thus enabling the crowd to see the royal saloon brilliantly lighted, and persons passing to and fro, amongst whom many professed to recognise her Majesty. There was a good deal of conversation, but no cheering, the national enthusiasm being reserved for the landing, which is to take place at 11 o'clock in the morning. The last incident connected with the arrival of the royal squadron was a general rush for the last train, which has seldom had so numer ous a freight as it carried on this occasion to town. The Victoria and Albert started at 7.17 p.m.. English time; and arrived at 11.5, Dublin time. The Scotia started at 6.30, and arrived at 11.25. DUBLIN, AUGUST 22. It was quite clear, from the deportment of the people on the occasion of her Majesty's landing this morning, that they had " accepted the situa tion,"had determined magnanimously to relinquish all their expectations of outward pomp and pagean try, and were prepared to respect and to sympathise with the motives which had induced her Majesty to bespeak as much privacy as possible at the various stages of her Irish tour. '1 here was a crowd of well-dressed people in the platform gal lery, and a much greater crowd, not so uniformly costumed, everywhere outside, but from all there was the most deferential deportment, and but one stifled burst of cheering, after which the royal cortege was allowed to pass on. It transpired that the landing was not to take place until the following morning, and, with this assurance, the crowd gradually dropped away, and the harbour was left to its usual nocturnal still ness. Early this morning there was, however, a considerable change in the aspect of affairs. The royal yacht, the men-of-war, and a whole fleet of pleasure boats, were dressed in their signal colours. and the harbour was dotted with row boats, the occupants of which exhibited the usual loyal curiosity of her Majesty's subjects whenever her Majesty is out on one of her royal progresses. Some alarm was created amongst the fortunate platform ticket-holders, who had made up their books to leave the pier at half-past 10, by a thun dering cannonade, which commenced at 8 in the morning. Persons came rushing and pouring down to the pier in hundreds, but it turned out to be a false alarm—merely the royal salute by which her Majesty should have been received on the previous evening, but which was postponed by the Queen, out of consideration for the invalds who are known to throng Kingstown at. this season of the year. Punctually at 11, the guns boomed once more,- and the preparations for landing commenced. The Board of Worki had, on very short notice, impro vised a handsome landing-stage, covered with scarlet bunting, from which a smart and tasteful archway opened to the vessel, which was now moored close to the pier. His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant came down by the. quarter-past 10 o'clock train, and was rowed on board the royal yacht from the St. George's Club battery in one of the barges of the Ajax. Her Majesty gra ciously received his excellency in the deck saloon, and the greeting of the Prince Consort was also par ticularly cordial and courteous. Immediately after the arrival on deck of the Lord-Lieutenant the royal vessel made slowly for the landing-place, and a few privileged persons were admitted on board. Amongst those present on the platform were the Kingstown Harbour Commissioners, including Mr. Chambers, Colonel M'Kernie, and Mr. Barry Gibbons, the har bour engineer. Mr. Chambers had the honour of of presenting an address to her Majesty on the deck of the Victoria and Albert, and had a most gracious reception. It is understood that her Majesty, in the few btief observations she addressed to Mr. Cham bers, expressed how much pleasure she felt in find ing herself once more in Ireland. The other occu pants of the platform who awaited her Majesty's landing were Field-Marshal Lord Gough, Sir George Brown, commander of the forces in Ireland, and staff, Colonel Lake, Colonel Brownrigg, &e., and the board of the railway company, including the Hon. Geo. Hancock, chairman ; William Dargan, Esq., deputy chairman ; Jos. Howe, Esq., Wal dron, Esq., M.P., and Sir J. Power, directors ; Ar thur Moore, Esq., secretary ; and Mortimore Harris, Esq., general manager. The platform gal leries A and B, which would hold about 1,500 persons, were well filled, principally with ladies. A rather late arrival on the platform was Sir Robert Peel, the right honourable baronet having missed the train, but on his arrival he was imme diately honoured with the royal recognition. The Queen could be seen giving a direction to Earl Granville, his lordship immediately communicated with his Excellency the Earl of Carlisle, and the latter nobleman came on shore and brought back Sir Robert, who was presented to her Majesty, and had a peculiarly gracious reception. The Prince Consort was also especially frank and friendly in his recognition of the right hon. baronet. I think that the Lord-Lieutenant and the Chief Secretary were the only two persons who went on board, and im mediately after the presentation of the latter the landing took place. The royal train consisted of four carriages and a break van, her Majesty's car riage being placed in the centre. It would be impossible exactly to describe the sensation that pervaded the crowd of spectators as the Queen and her family walked slowly on shore. Her Majesty, who was clad in the deepest and plainest mourning, leant on the arm of the Prince Consort, similarly attired. The royal children—the Princesses Alice and Helena and Prince Arthur Patrick, attended by Miss Hilliard—followed, also in mourning, as was, in fact, every one in the pro cession, so that the whole had a most singular and solemn effect. A cheer, faint and timid, was set up, but it was stifled in a moment, evidently in re spectful sympathy with the illustrious mourner ; a few handkerchiefs were slowly waved, but no de monstration took place inconsistent with a greeting of the most solemn and sympathising character. Her Majesty seemed fully to appreciate the deport ment of the people, and to be pleased. She raised her head sadly, bowed round very gravely, but very courteously, and at once stepped into the carriage. The royal family alone occupied the royal carriage, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant following in the next. One carriage was occupied by the directors and two by the viceregal household and the staff, and when all had taken their places, the train proceeded rapidly to town. As it emerged into the open space from the covered landing stage, an immense crowd was observable, packed densely over the open, and although composed as it was of all classes of people, and of course having the humbler in the great majority, the same delicacy of deportment 'was observable as on the platform amongst the elite. The people cheered in a subdued manner, and her Majesty stood up in her carriage, and, bowing on both sides, permitted them to see how real was the sorrow which rendered this royal visit so exceptional in all its arrangements. All the discontent of the day before had disappeared, a sorrowing Queen - pre sented herself to a loyal and sympathising people. and the meeting was far more interesting than could have been the most gorgeous and festive pageant. At the Westland-row platform another delicate attention was in readiness for her Majesty. I be lieve that on the occasion of the previous royal visit her Majesty was rather incommoded and an noyed by the platform crowd at this particular station; and this time the most stringent precau tions were taken, and were carried out with much efficiency by Mr. Hill, superintendent of the line. Not a soul was to be seen in the whole interior except Mr. Hill himself and the five policemen — the most stalwart of the pre-eminently stalwart Dublin brigade—whose duty it was to guard every entrance, not only from intruders, but even' from peepers. Her Majesty was much gratified at the manner in Which her wif.hes were elrried out in this particular, as well us with all the other arrangements . of the Dublin and Wicklow Com pany. Lord Carlisle showed much agility i;i escaping from the pliliferm the moment the train had arrived, and hurried off to the Viceregal Lodge, to be in readiness to receive his royal miti tress. A guard of honour occupied the front of the station . in Westland-row, and an escort of Dragoons surrounded the royal carriages. Outside of them, a sovereign's best body-guard, a numerous and loyal people, filled the streets, crowded all the windows, crested the houseto?s, and convul sively hugged the chimneys. There was mere cheering here, especially when the royal carriaße was thrown open, and the people could see its illustrious occupants. Her Mkjesty bowed fre quently, and dro7e off at a moderate pace to the Viceregal Lodge, where it was understood sh, - , would devote the remainder of the day to rest and refreshment, after her rather tedious and not over pleasant voyage. It has blown a gale of wind here all the morning, with driving rain, but it lo o k s now as if we were going to have a spell of " Q uee c s weather." The engine was driven by Mr. Samuel Wilfred Eaughton, nephew to the chairman of the Great Southern and Western Railway, and engineer in-chief to the Dublin, Wexford, and Wexford line. DUBLIN, FRIDAY NIGHT. Great crowds occupied all the principal thorough fares for the greater part of the day in expectation of seeing and welcoming the Queen. They remained in the streets until an advanced hour, and some of them were not disappointed, for about half-past five her Majesty left the Viceregal Lodge, accompanied by the Princess Alice, the Prince Consort, the Lord- Lieutenant, and Lady Churchill, and drove through the principal streets of the city, without, however, stopping at any place, or visiting any of the public buildings. This was the cause of some disappoint ment, as the crowds who promenaded the city were anxious to greet her Majesty. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. The Queen and Royal party, together with the distinguished personages now at the Viceregal and Secretary's Lodges, will leave by a• special train, at ten o'clock this morning, for the Curragh, to be pre sent at a grand military review. It is said there will be 20,000 troops on the•ground, and no doubt double that number of civilians will be present. OLYMPIC THEATRE. e The season at this favourite place of amusement was brought to a close last evening, when the fol lowing address was delivered by its spirited and popular manager, Mr. Robson : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—After a season that has lasted nearly two 'years, and has therefore in cluded something like eight seasons—a common measure—l venture to bid you a short "farewell. If I wanted to sacrifice fact for the sake of a happy illusion, I should say 1 was about to repose in my chimney corner, but as this happens to be the month of August, when people think more of cool sea breezes than of warm firesides, I am perfectly certain you would not believe me. Our old-fashioned farmers are in the habit of hanging gammon of bacon in their chimneys, but here is a case in which even gammon and chimneys must be utterly discon nected, especially as I wish sincerely to refer to a very serious subject. That constant intercourse that has been long maintained between us, delightful to me, and I trust, not unpleasant to you, has this year been interrupted by my sudden and severe illness. However, this affliction has proved to me a source of high gratification, for it has served to show that'my friends are more numerous than I had dared to hope. The many public inquiries that were made respecting my health during a period of pain and prostration have left so deep an impression on my mind, that I feel more strongly than ever the tie, that of obligation, that binds me to my generous patrons. Both my partner and myself must plead guilty to the charge of introducing a Little Rebel' into our generally orderly establishment, but as yon seem to have been gratified by the innovation, I need offer no apologies on that subject. There is one matter, however, of which I am entirely guilt less. Taking advantage of my illness, my partner, who prides himself on being. a moral maa, entered into an engagement—the sly rogue—with A Charm ing Woman.' Aye, and he is quite ready to bear all the responsibility of his indiscretion ; for, it seems, youcomplimenthim on his taste, and acknow ledge that the lady in question is a very dimming woman, indeed ; and—whisper, let me tell you—but this is between ourselves—she is so much flattered by your good opinion, that she means to remain with us during the whole of next season. On the 23d of September we shall, I trust, meet again, and my partner and myself will be found true to our old principle of establishing our theatre as a place where smiles are frequent and hearty, tears few and gentle, and blushes altogether unknown. Till then, grateful for the past, hopeful for the future, we both bid you farewell." PRIESTS AND BRIGANDS IN NA PLES The following details respecting the priests and brigands in Naples aro furnished by a letter in the Nord of the 17th of August:— " The authorities have just made a razzia of priests and monks. From Castellamare to Sorrento, 28 were arrested yesterday. In the evening, they were taken to the pre fecture of police. A similar course, it is said, will be pur sued towards all the monks and ecclesiastics who, since the departure of his Eminence Cardinal Riario, carry on a systematic opposition against the Government. Sermons, marked by the greatest violence against King Victor Emmanuel and Liberal Institutions, have been preached on Sunday in several churches. The clergy have been warned officially that they must restrict themselves to their mission of peace, love, and charity, other wise the authorities will act against them with vigour. They have not paid the slightest attention to the warning, and their language is more and mora passionate and furious. "Last night the official journal published one of those sombre bulletins which recal the laconism of the Republic of Venice. It is as follows .... . _____. ... Tragnoto-Monforte, Aug. 14, 7 p m. '' ' Yesterday morning at dawn justice was executed on Pontelandolfo and Casalduni.'" The following details have been furnished me by an ocular witness : " ' A detachment of 40 men of the . 4th Regiment of the line came a few days ago to these two villages, which had become the refuge of brigands and of mutinous soldiers of the provinces of Nolise and Benevento. There were also certain number of reactionaries who had escaped from the battle of Montefalcione. " At a given signal , after having been received with re peated cries of " Long live Italy I" the soldiers were attacked by the brigands and peasants, who massacred them to a man with the exception of a sergeant. "`To take vengeance on this ambuscade, two battalions of sharpshooters surrounded on Wednesday the two villages of Pontelandolfo and Casalduni. A flag of truce was sent by daybreak to insist on the g uilt y being given up. The flag of truce was received with a volley of musketry. To exhit their defiance and contempt, the brigands threw down from the roofs of the houses which they had barri caded the heads and limbs of the wretched soldiers who had perished by their hands. It was then that the two battalions of sharpshooters, excited by fury and despair, advanced, took by storm the two villages, and killed all their defenders. They spared the lives of the old men ' th e women, and the children. They then set fire to the two villages, the greater part of which in a few hours was a prey to the flames.' " Some of the most trustworthy advices from India by the last mail state that, although the price of opium had again fallen, the quotation being 1,390 r., and there was a prospect of a still further decline during the present m onth, it was strongly doubted if the revenue for the y e ar would oxhibit any material reduction from Mr. Laing's e stimate.
