At Rouen, Lyons, and other manufacturing towns, sales have been active, but the high prices of silks limited the purchases in that article. The trade with America is recovering from its temporary slackness, and articles in de mand for that market have risen from 15 to 20 per cent. Orders from England for the ensuing winter season begin to arrive at Paris. Advices from the silk markets in Italy and the Levant report a further rise in prices, which has arrested the export of raw silk to France. At Milan business has been very active, and the finer qualities of the raw material are much in demand, arid all the silk manufactories are in full work. In the provinces business is equally brisk ; IA the fair of Linigaglia 5-50 ecus to 6-20 was the ruling prices, and at Naples 62 to 63 carlins were paid for 11-13 qualities. At the fair of Brescia there was a good demand, and the advance in prices at Pied mont was about 15 per cent. at the rate of 135 francs per kilogramme, while at Lyons the highest price is 132 fr. Several of the Chambers of Commerce in Prussia have prayed for the abolition of the laws which re gulate the rates of interest. Accounts from St. Potersburg mention that the Government had decided on the formation of three great lines of railway, viz., one from St. Peters burg to Warsaw, another from Moscow to Odessa, and the third from Odessa to Warsaw.. The last /lamed will pass by Dubno, with a branch to Brody, and will join tho lino from Warsaw to Odessa with that of the East of Gallicia. 100 4 all all 100 100 B'2B The Bourse at Paris throughout last week re mained in a dull state, and the improvement which previously occurred was not maintain ed. Trans actions, both real and speculative, are described as having being unimportant. Among the circum stances which it is contended ought to influence the market favourably, are the satisfactory harvest re• ports, the declining prices of cereals, the encouraging condition of the country, and the soundness of com merce. On the other hand, the absence of the principal dealers who are prolonging their stay out of town, and general indisposition to speculate, have the effect of depressing prices and rendering the Bourse very inactive. The Corn market opened steadily to-day, and Wheat was 33. to 4s. per quarter higher than on Monday last. About half of the supply was com posed of the new crop in fair condition. The dulness noticed in the English Stock Mar ket throughout last week continues, but the uncer tain state of the weather, and the further slight advance in the corn market, have imparted heavi ness to the quotations, although no quotable decline has occurred. Consols are 95k for money, and 95 1 for account. Exchequer Bills are dull at 1 1s. to 14s. premium, and the Bondi are 1008. The New 3 per Cents. are 96 to 96k, and the Re duced 951 f. Bank Stock is 2171 to 2181, and India Stock 233. In Foreign Stocks there have been very few bar gains, but they are mostly at firm quotations. Turkish 6 per Cents. remain at 1031, and the 4 per Cents. aro at 103 to 1041. Spanish 3 per Cents. have been 241 to 25. Sardinian 5 per Cents., 93 ; and Peruvian 3 per Cents., 58 to 59.

For the first class of the Bath the lamented Sir l a. Cathcart was the only officer so designated ; but for the second class the list comprised the names of Rear- A-dmiral Lowry Corry, Rear Admiral E. Boxer, Major- General Eltcourt, and Brigadiers-General Strangways, Adams, and Tylden. We understand that, in conside ration of the services of these officers, the Queen has been pleased to direct that their widows shall be per naitted to assume the same style and title as they would have enjoyed had their husbands lived to assume the dignity of Knight Commanders of the Bath, which it was her Majesty's intention to confer upon the,ii.—Observer. CONGRESS OF CORN-DEALERS.—The second grand an nual meeting of the corn•dealers from the different parts of France will take place this day at Dijon. The object °ranch a congress is to arrive at an exact idea of the total resources of the country from the present harvest ; of the localities which will have a surplus quantity of corn, of those which will have sufficient for their con sumption, and of those where there will be a deficiency. It is by such information that persons in the corn trade are abl e t o f orm a correctestimate of the quantity which will be required from abroad, and a knowledge of the Points or the country to which it will be necessary to send a supply. This was the origin of the congress of corn merchants at Dijon last year, and the eagerness With which the call made was responded to shows that the excellence of the idea was fully appreciated. 100 100 100 20 100 30 100 100 100 20 southern of France.. lt.

MATRIMONIAL DIFFICULTIES.—Mary Ann Oulds, the wife of George John ()aids, oilman, &c., Greek-street, Soho, was charged before Mr. Beadon with assaulting and threatening the life of her husband. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Wakeling, who attended for the c nnplainant, that the latter had been married to the defendant about sixteen months, during the whole of which period she hadbehaved in a very bad way—getting drunk, and annoying him in thepresenee of his customers in every possible way—threatening to murder him and to rip him up. In order to carry this threat into Qffoct she actually provided herself with two formidable dagt.7,ers, one of which she had sharpened on purpose. Mr. Oulds fortunately discovered the daggers in time, and consequently prevented her accomplishing her oljed. On Saturday night about 11 o'clock she was in liquor, and exceedingly violent and quatrelsonso, and, on being remonstrated with by her husband, she threw a large iron weight at his head. Fearing that she would do him some serious injury he sent for a con stable and gave her in charge. Several witnesses having corroborated this statement, the defendant, ins very excited manner, deniel the whole of it, and said the complainant was always beating her, and she, for her own personal safety, was obliged to have the daggers in self-defence. When she married him she gave him 3001., beside settling a large sum upon her son, by her first husband, and 300/. she invested for her own benefit. Complainant wanted that, and because she would not let him have it he continually ill-treated her. M ABET NEWS.—(This Day.) A deal of recrimination then took place between both parties, which Mr. Beadon put a stop to by ordering de fendant to find bail to keep the peace towards her hus band. CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were very moderately supplied with wheat, in which a fair businesi was doing at 2s to 3s per quarter more money. Barley was firm, and th• quotations ruled high. Other grain ruled somewhat active. • Tho American markets come rather heavy, although the shipments to this country were on a liberal sale. On the continent tho demand fur grain has improved. Very moderato supplies of home-grown produce were re ceived up to our market last week. The imports of foreign were large, via., 31,237 quarters of wheat, 7,079 barley, 51,319 oats, 7 peas, 5,70 i linseed, 1,225 rapeseed, 55 sundry seeds, 330 sacks and 5,375 barrels of flour.

AN INCORRIGIBLE THlEF.—Trillicon Bland, alias the Savage, a lad of 18, who did not look more than 15, and who has injured sev-eral officers when taken into cus tody on former occasions, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with picking pockets in the Com mercial-road East. Mr. James Smitb, an insurance agent, stated that he saw two boys in the Commerciabroad, on Saturday, be tween four and five o'clock, reciting pieces from " Mac beth," to attract attention and give thieves an oppor tunity of carrying on their depredations. A crowd soon collected, and the prisoner, who was no doubt in col lusion with the juvenile actors, immediately commenced work, acid put his hands into the pockets of several ladies, but without succeeding in taking anything. At last he put his hand into the pocket of a lady named Waller. The lady fortunately had her purse in her right hand, and her pocket was on the left. She caught the prisoner's hand as he was withdrawing it from her pocket, and called for help. He immediately took the prisoner into custody, and handed him over to the pol ice. William Savage, a police constable, said the prisoner was a most incorrigible thief, and was in custody two months ago for attempting to steal a geld watch from a gentleman. The prisoner took the watch out of the gentleman's pocket, but could not detach it from the chain, and was secured. Mr. Yardley—What became of him then Savage—l don't know, sir. I think he was sent to prison for six weeks. Another cons able said the prisoner had been con victed of felony four or five times, and was the most incorrigible and savage thief in the district. Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to three months imprisonment and bard labour. The prisoner no sooner heard the sentence than he scowled ferociously on Mr. Smith, and said he would serve him out when his term of imprisonment expired. SOUTHWARK. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A RAILWAY OFFICER.—Geo. Abbe,feld, a costerinonger, was placed at the bar before Mr, seeker on a charge of assault under the following circumAances. Wm. Green, an officer employed at the Waterloo sta tion of the South-Western Railway, stated that on Satur day last while he was proceeding along the Waterloo road the prisoner, who keeps an oyster stall at the corner of John-street, Waterloo-road, suddenly rushed up to him and straok him on the right eye, which bled profusely. Witness did na give the prisoner any provo cation, and why he had struck him he could not tell. Mr. Sucker (to the prisoner)—What have you to say to the charge / Prisoner—l was drunk and he struck me first. I have known the prosecutor' for several years, and have been in the habit of travelling on the railway every day. The prosecutor denied this assertion, and confirmed his evidence by other witnesses. The prisoner was fined 205., or, in &fault, one month's imprisonment. HARVEST LABOUR AND MODERN FARMING The postponed trial of reaping machines which took place at Boxteil-lodge the other day attracted the attention of farmers throughout the kingdom, and the near approach of a harvest which promised well in all respects but that of sufficient hands to secure it induced many to anticipate the announcement of the decision by a visit and personal in spection. One -gentleman from Bedfordshire was so far satisfied with the work done, and also with the judicia award, that he purchaeod the prize reaper for the purpose of introducing it to the farmers of his own county. Pro. bably many of our readers have asked " What has become of the machine ?" We are happy to inform them that it is safe, and bdsy in the county of Bedford. On Friday last, according to arrangement, a large pasty of county gentlemen assembled at the Park Farm, Woburn Abbey, to witness the performance of the Cresskill reaper. The early part of the day was as unfavourable as could well be imagined, but, notwithstanding the weather, the ponde rous machine addressed itself to its task in a business-ilk* style, mowing for itself a clean p assago through the standing corn to the astonishment of massy present, and to the great delight of all. In the selected field there wore numerous patches of laid and straggling wheat, but so thoroughly did the reaper do its workthat not an ear escaped—the very labourers attending being driven to acknowledge that no man could cut so regularly or so cleanly. The circumstancse of the trial afforded a fair illustration of the ease of manage ment, for it was worked perfectly by two men in the em. ployment of the Duke of Bedford (his grace's drillman and his son), who had never seen a machine of the kind previ ously. This servant of the duke, by the way, although probably only an average specim en of the men employed at Woburn, so impressed Mr. Cresskill, or so won upon him by the facility he exhibited in the: conduct of the operation, that he was engaged on the spot to become the travelling companion of the machine in its tour of experiments. We have stated that a considerable number of the county gentry and larger farmers were present on the occasion, and these may be considered as representing the old school (so far as there is an old school), as well as the more ad vanced section of agriculturists. To show the spirit in which these gentlemen are disposed to take up the matter we may mention that one person, on ordering a machine from the maker, stated his intention of placing it at the disposal of his men gratis for the next year's harvest, and this in order to disarm the prejudice and a pp re h ens i ons which the labouring classes are not unlikely to entertain. This gentleman considers that his proper share of profit will be completely covered by the early and quick in. gathering of the corn. Great pleasure was evinced by the visitors in the oppor tunity afforded of inspecting the noble farm, which con tains withi n itself a complete 'epitome of all the modern improvements in the cultivatioa of the soil. The farm em braces above 1,000 a cres, and nowher e cou ld b etter farming be witnessed than here. Corn, root crops, grasses, and cat tle are severally the best of their kind, while the arrange ments are characterised throughout by their marked refer ence to economy. Everything is expected to pay. The farm is a model to all occupiers, and the buildings are worthy of imitation by all proprietors of the soil. It must be remarked, however, that the excellence of this farm is not of recent growth, for more than thirty years ago Woburn-park Farm was greatly in advance of many neighbourhoods that possess a high repute at the present day. For many years Mr. Barness (a Scotchesan) had the superintendence of the farm, and his high reputation as a practical farmer is worthily sustained by his successor, Mr. Baker ; indeed it is owing to the fact that this gentleman is a faithful disciple of the same enterprising school that the farm is in such high condition. Many of the improvements commenced by his predecessor, Mr. Baker has perfected, besides originating not a few. In anxious desire for progress in every department, few men exceed Mr. Baker ; and he is manifestly a man who be lieves in the accomplishment of that great desideratum— the application of steam to the culture of the land. It would be invidious thus to particularise the merits of Mr. Baker were we not to add that the whole appearance of the farm proves that the Duke of Bedford has succeeded in filling all the principal offices of his immense estates with most able men. The entire estate, under the superintendence of Mr. Bennett, is hardly less remarkable for admirable manage. ment than for natural beauty ; and when the visitor has accustomed his mind to the marks of systematic care which he may discrn on every side, he will be prepared to wit ness, without surprise, the vast manufactories which ring out their din hard by the ducal palace, and shoot their long chimney shafts above the rich foliage of the home woods of the park. In these workshops all the building materials for the homesteads and cottages of the estates are made ready for use, and here workmen in almost all br a n c h es o f mechanics find uninterrupted employment. The experiments with the prize reaper were resumed on Saturday, when something very like envy took possession of the spectator's mind when he saw how easily and rapidly that work might have been done, the unavoidable post ponement of which, on his own farm, has filled him with misgiving. All, however, departed to their respective farms in some measure comforted by the assurance that there need not be any more harvests wasted for want of a steady, punctual, reliable labourer.

The exports from Holland are rather on the increase. To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign stock, the condition of which was by no means prime. There was an increase in the receipts of home-fed boasts as to number, and the condition of most breeds exhibited an improvement, compared with Monday last. The beef trade was rather dull, and prices were 2d per Blbs lower than on this day week. The highest figure for the best Scots was 4s 10d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicester shire, and Northamptonshire we received 2,400 short-horns; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland 50 Scots ; and from Ireland 240 oxen. We were tolerably well, but not to say extensively, sup plied with sheep, most breeds of which came to hand in middling condition. The mutton trade was steady, at prices equal to those realised on this day se'nnight. The show of lambs was moderate. On the whole, the trade ruled firm, at full quotations. Calves, the supply of which was rather limited, moved off steadily, at last week's currency. The top price was 4s 10d per 81bs. We had a slow sale for pigs, on former terms.

BANQUET TO THE GUARDS. (This Day.) The promised banquet to the medal men of the Guards took place this day at the Royal Surrey Gardens, and was everything that could be de sired. The morning was cloudy, and anything but in viting, a misty rain falling about the middle of the day, but nevertheless immense crowds of per sons lined the streets through which the Guards passed from their respective barracks to the gar dens, and cheered them lustily. The Music Hall, the capacious dimensions of which, and its light and elegant construction and decoration, which is now so well known to thou sands, presented one of the most enlivening, gay, and brilliant spectacles imaginable. Over the orchestra, high up above the upper gallery, and springing from the base of the dome, was a crystal transparency of the quarterings of England, France, Sardinia, and Turkey, surrounded by the Garter and England's motto ; whilst on each side and above were intermixed the flags of the re spective nations, over which was placed a minia ture Standard of England in gold and crimson. At the opposite end of the building was a similar device, and above it one in which the tri-color of France was most conspicuous. Along the balcony of the principal gallery fes toons of artificial leaves were gracefully and artis tically intertwined with the light filagaree work of the front, and in the interstices formed by the festoons were placed the names of "J. M'Donald," " Dundas, " " Evans," " Bruat," " Wyndham, " " St. Arnaud, " " Codring ton," " Massey, " " Raglan," " Lyons," " Simpson," " Williams," " Cardigan, " Lucan," " Bosquet," " Canrobert," &c., he., names which for ever will live in the page of history ; and how ever much some of them might not have realised all the anticipations of an ardent, enthusiastic, brave, and courageous people, there are many amongst them whom a generous public delighteth to honour, and who have gallantly and nobly sus tained the reputation of the country. Against each of the pillars was hung a flag of each of the allied nations, whilst around the balcony and the middle gallery festoons of flags were suspended over them, and along the upper gallery flags were hung around, which floated gaily in the cool breeze which, by the extraordinary construction of the ventilation of the building, passed through it during the day, and kept the place delightfully cool, a desideratum highly to be prized in crowded assemblies—whether in the heat of the day, or those which succeed them. Immediately over and behind the chairman, and iu front of the orchestra, the flags of the respective nations were artistically intertwined, and in a wreath on each side were the words " Redan," " Malakhoff," and in the centre the name of that never-to-be-forgotten soldier's friend and minis tering angel, Miss "Nightingale." At 12 o'clock the gates of the gardens were opened for the admission of ladies and others by ticket at an advanced price, the proceeds of which the proprietors of the gardens have liberally placed at the disposal of the committee, and the galleries were speedily filled by a number of elegantly-dressed ladies, radi ant with smiles, highly delighted at witnessing such an interesting scene, and eager to testify their admiration for men whose daring and gallantry have achieved deeds unsurpassed in the page of history, and who suffered the hardships of war, aggravated by official blundering, with a magna nimity savouring more of romance than reality. The Grenadiers, mustering 739 men, marched from their barracks in Birdcage-walk, over West minster-bridge, past the Elephant and Castle, along the Walworth-road to Amelia-street, down which it passed to the principal entrance of the gardens. The Fusiliers, numbering 708 men, marched from their barracks, at Charing-cross, over Waterloo-bridge, following the Grenadiers from the Elephant and Castle. The Coldstreams, numbering 562 men, marched from the Tower over London-bridge by the Elephant and Castle, and the same route thence to the gardens. These gallant men, each preceded by its band, playing various enlivening airs, reached the gardens about the appointed time, 2 o'clock, when an equal number of each regiment, according to previous arrangement, took their places at the tables in the capacious music hall, the remainder being accommodated under an awning in front of the building, the band stationed in the orchestra playing at the time the " Roast beef of old England." The tables were laid out with cold meats of every kind, plum puddings, salads, fruits, cheese, &c., with a bottle of stout to each man. At various places along the tables were a number of ever greens, fuschias, balsams, geraniums, verbenas, and other plants in flower ; and in the centre of the room was an emblematic device, designed by Messrs. Potel and Shabot, who provided the ban quet, and whose catering as purveyors to the com pany is well known and justly appreciated by the thousands of persons who have patronised these gardens since their opening under the present management, only a few weeks ago. The men, on entering the grounds, were loudly and enthusiastically cheered, which was repeated on their entering the building, accompanied with waiving of handkerchiefs, bouquets, &c., by the ladies. The gallery opposite the orchestra was filled by a, number of officers in plain clothes, and their ladies. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Lady MaYoremf and Miss Salomons occupied a private box at the right of the orchestra. The men, having taken their seats, were provided with a bottle of champagne with which to drink the toasts. Sergeant-Major Edwards, the senior sergeant major of the Guards, then took the chair, sup ported on either side by those next in seniority to him. During the dinner the following programme of music was admirably performed by the combined bands of the Grena Bier, Coldstream, and Scots Fusilier Guards, and er the direction of the band• Inaators, Mr. Gotirrty, M. oico , o* Godfrey : March—" The Return of the Guards" D. Godfrey. Quadrille—" Hibernian" (On Irish Melodies) Jullien. Selection—" Traviata " Quadrille —" Sweaborg" (On Nautical Me lodies) ....................................... . " Hymn of the Allied Army " Quadrille—" Bonnie Dundee " (On Scotch Melodies) Waltz —" Star of the West " Selection—" Senniramide," . Polka—" Rataplan " Koenig. Selection—" Robert lo Diablo" ...... . At the conclusion of the repast the members of the chorus, who kindly volunteered their services for the occasion, were stationed in the chorus gal lery, and, under the direction of Mr. Land, sank the grace after dinner from the Laudi Spirituali, 1545. The CUAIRMIN then gave the health of " The Queen," which was euthustically received--the bands of the Guards playing the Nation Anthem, the solo parts being rendered by upward. of 300 members of the Chorus in the gallery. The CHAIRMAN said I have to give you anoth toast, which I do not expect will please you as much as the last, but very nearly so. I give you the toast of "Prince Albert and the rest of theßoyal family," and in that of the Royal family I include the Prince of Wales, who, I hope, may live after the example of his Royal parents, and may the day be long before he wears the Royal crown. (Cheers.) The toast was drank with three times three. Band—" Coburg March." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, "His Royal Highness the General Commanding. in -Chief, our Soldiers and Sailors, our brave Allies in the lato War, and the Chaplains of the Army," said he might say a few words to them on the toast, as comrades. To the old men—the old Guards of Alma and lukerman—he need not say one word to them in favour of the General Commanding-in-Chief, for they all knew as much of him as ho did. (Cheers.) He must live in their hearts as he did in his (the chairman's) eternally—. (cheers)—and all others who were true British sol diers. (Cheers.) It must be their greatest pride to-day they were with him at Alma and Inkerman. (Cheers.) There was but one thing caused him sorrow, if such a thing ought then to be f e lt by him, and that was to find that these tables were not largo enough for all their comrades in the late war to bo present. (Cheers.) He doubted not but that they would feel pleasure at learning the manner in which the Guards had been received that day. (Cheers.) With regard to " our sailors," he was happy to say the greatest good feeling ex isted between them and the line. They and the blue jackets were indebted to one another for many kindnesses all through the late war—a better feeling it was impossible could have existed between thein and the bluejackets. With respect to their allies it was impossible for him to say enough, and to the Inkerman men he could say they had seen the day when they could have fallen dowiCand wor shipped them like they did their God. (Cheers.) They recollected them coining over the hill. (Tre mendous cheering.) The chaplains of the army had done their duty. They had been taken so little notice of in all former military assemblages that he had included them in the toast. The toast was received with cheers, the choir singing the following song, the words written ex . pressely for the occasion. by G. Linley, Es 4. Oh ! brave were England's mailed knights, That won at Agincourt, And bright the v.Lge of Hist'ry shines With deeds they did of yore. But ne'er was valour more display'd, In battles' mad career, Than by the gallant British hearts Whom, now, we welcome here. Yet, while on glories past we dwa, And ancient heroes praise, A brighter lustre hangs around The warriors of our days. To them, we fill the wine cup, now, To them, we raise the cheer ; God bless the gallant British hearts • Whom, now, wo welcome here. The CLIA,IRMAN then gave the healths of the Chairman of the Committee and the Subscribers to the Dinner Fund: They had been invitedto a dinner such as - perhaps the memory of, nlin Jiad e never seen thequal of—(cheers)--.-andlthe'fdt of them having been invited to such a dinner shelved that their countrymen were satisfied_ ,with the manner in which they had done their duty. (Loud cheers.) They all recollected the day when they never dreamt or thought such a day as this would have been in the history of their lives—. (cheers) —and after what they had seen and gone through, such a reception as that by their fellow-countrymen was sufficient to make him and them jump on one leg through another such a campaign as that just finished. (Cheers.) The LORD MA,Y011,:011 the part of the committee, returned thanks, and in doing so paid a just tri. buto to the bravery of the troops, and remarked that ho hoped every soldier would be''proud of the uniform ho wore, and that his conduct would be such as to earn honors and respect in peace as ho had done in war. (Loud cheers.). He concluded by proposing the health of Ser. joant-Major Edwards, the chairman of the day, and who, whether they regarded his height to his large beard (laughter) which, with his hair, was tinged with grey, marked him, as the old and honourable soldier. (Cheers.) Ho hoped he would be many years spared to his coun try which ho had served so successfully. (Cheers.) Band—" The British Grenadiers." The CHAIIMAN returned thanks, which he could only do in an humble manner in all sincerity. (Cheers.) That was a proud day for them all, and he firmly believed, in confiden3e between him and them, that he was the first serjeant-major of the" British army whose health bad been drunk by the Lord Mayor of London. (Cheers and laughter.) After again thanking his lordship for the honour, the chairman sat down a midst the enthusiastic cheers of his comrades. The LORD MAYOR then gave " The healthy of the Commanding Officers," which was drank wiith enthusiasm. Mr. Harker, City toastmaster, kindly teered his services as toastmaster for the occasion. About 1,200 dined in the Hall, the remainder. being accommodated under the tent in front of the Music Hall. Inspector Lund, of the P division, with a body of men, preserved excellent order at the approaches to the Gardens. The interesting ceremony was then concluded, and the soldiers withdrew from the Hall, and strolled about the gardens, where other;amusementit awaited them. The following officers belonging to the three brigades of Guards were present : Sir W. Codrington, Lord Rakeby, Sir H. Bar , nard, Colonel the Hon. E. Upton, Col. Lion. A. Foley, Col. Ridley, Col.
