Limited supplies of English wheat were received fresh up to this morning's market. Fine samples were scarce, and they realised Monday's prices ; otherwise the trade was in a sluggish state, and the quotations had a down ward tendency. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, and the de mand for all descriptions ruled heavy, at, in some instances, a decline of is per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at barely late rates. A steady business was passing in malting barley at full prices, but other sorts were quite neglected. • Malt changed hands to a limited extent on former terms. The oat trade ruled firm, and prices were well main tained. Beans realised extreme rates, and grey peas were quite as dear as on Monday. All kinds of flour moved off slowly. The top price of town-made is now 55s per 2Solbs. Country and foreign qualities barely supported previous currencies. NEWMARKET-THURSDAY. Handicap Plate of 50 sovs, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. A.F.

Rising Sun was fifth, clear of the four placed, and Boran sixth. Tomyris and Sir Edward were the last two, Lord Canterbury's colt being beaten a long way.

No one certainly expected her to go at the date named, so the p ublic w ill be rather agreeably surprised to hear th at the direc tors have fulfilled their pledge, and that exactl y on the day and hour appointed the great sh i p stood out of Milford Haven, and by nine o'cl o c k on Wednesday evening was steaming grandly do wn the Channel. It is barely ten months since the people of the United States were looking with almost feverish expectation to her arrival at New York. This time, however, her advent will excite but little interest, unless she happens also to be the bearer of the latest news from Europe. All idea of taking her to New York for mere exhibition purposes is at an end ; she has gone, for the present at least, regularly into the American trade—unless, indeed, the Government of Mr. Lincoln should divert her from her peaceful calling and take her up as a transport of war. Such an engagement is, we believe, far from improbable, and would be almost certain if there were more ports along the Southern coast which she could either enter or approach with safety ; but unfortunately there are very few places of importance among the Southern cities which are easily accessible to her enormous bulk. She might go within a short distance of Richmond, and as Virginia has seceded, on her arrival out it is by no means unlikely that this will be her next destination. In case of an attack on Washington the value of such a magni ficent transport, capable of putting 10,000 men with all their stores and ammunition on the shores of N, hat oys Dear Sir,—l forward per this post a Bolton Chronicle, in which you will find a leader recog nising the utility of the ballot-box " for once." What is the " once ?" The strike at Bolton has been one of a peculiar character. Both spinners and power-loom weavers have been on strike for six weeks rather than stand a reduction of 5 per cent. on their wages, which the masters stated was necessary to keep them right. The spinners' union officers advised the men to accept and ask for a rise when trade improved. Their prudent counsel was clamoured down by many of the younger and more thoughtless hands. A week or so ago :a proposition was made that each mill should vote by ballot whether the negotiation should be settled by the committee. This was really whether they should go in or not, and was understood to be so, as the whole body knew what the secretary's opinion was. A decided ma jority voted in the affirmative, and the strike was virtually at an end with the spinners. Negotia tions with the employers only remained, and they resumed work this morning. The weavers who have been out the longer period, also balloted on the question direct—" Going in," or " Stopping out ;" and the majority, under protection from cla mour and abuse, voted for going on with their work rather than begging from the public. They also resumed this morning. Here we have an in stance of the power of the ballot which aristocrats may comprehend. It is protection from mob rule as well as against an oligarchy. . The newspaper is a Conservative-Liberal, and a supporter of Captain Grey, who votes against the ballot for electors ; but he will reap the benefit as a millowncr of this last exercise of it. It is a paper which favOured me with space for a long controversy on the ballot two or three years ago. I hope we may move on to-morrow. Yours, truly, J. H. RAPER. inst hey teed ion.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.— After long experience, deep researches into chemistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be ent rely dispensed With in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, com posed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 70. 14 barrels weith net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

Fitzwilliam, who purchased him for 3,000 guineas. It is rumoured that the horse will not be delivered up by his tvrmor nucr Aft9t tho PM Par tla Chestor cup. A report has been issued by the Royal Commis sion, at the head of which is the Prince Consort, appointed in 1841 for the purpose of inquiring whe ther advantage might not be taken of the rebuilding of the Palace of Westminster, for promoting and encouraging the Fine Arts. With regard to paint ings, the commissioners have found that under the existing conditions of lighting oil pictures prove altogether unfit for the purpose, and they have there fore restricted the works now in progress to fresco or to the water-glass process which has been for some years practised with good results in Germany. They report that there has been unnecessary delay in the instance of the Peers' robing-room, to be painted by Mr. J. R. Herbert, but they believe it is to be at tributed rather to repeated experiments and a con scientious study of the subjects by the artist than to any feeling of indifference or interruption from other occupations. Mr. W. Dyce undertook to complete the painting of the Queen's robing-room by June, 1855 (afterwards extended to June, 1856), and had at that time received the stipulated remu neration ; the commissioners have to state that the work is to their extreme mortification, still un finished. The delay now is understood to be from ill-health. They regret the more any impediment to the completion of this work, since the portion already executed is in their judgment highly creditable to the artist. In one of the large com partments of the Royal Gallery Mr. D. Maclise is painting the meeting of Wellington and Blu cher after the battle of Waterloo ; and, find ing fresco painting imperfectly adapted for a multiplicity of details, he has adopted the stereo chrome or water-glass method of painting, of which a full account is subjoined. The commissioners feel bound to add that such is the encouragement now extended to painting by opulent lovers of art that the artists could in almost every case be more profit ably, though not more honourably employed in other and less arduous undertakings. With regard to statues, a committee, consisting of the Prince Consort and Lords Stanhope and Llanover, have recommended, in addition to Gibson's marble statue of ber Majesty, already completed for the Prince's Chamber, a series of 37, comprising Edward the Confessor, Harold, and then from William the Conqueror downwards, to be placed thus : In the Royal Gallery 12 (the Sovereigns of the Houses of Brunswick and Stuart), in the Queen's Robing-room 5 (the Tudor series), 16 older Save reigns on the landing-place and in the adjoining porch, and on the lower landing-place the four most ancient of the series, selected as representing thp Saxon and Norman periods, the 20 on the land ing-places to be of metal, the other 17 of white marble ; and they recommended that Mr. W. Theed be invited to undertake two of the latter (William IV. and George IV.), and Mr. T. Thorny croft other two (Charles I. and James I.), at £BOO each. Accordingly, the report proposes that the vote this year be £3,200, instead of the usual £4,000, for the balances of former grants in hand for payment of works in painting are in advance of those works. SHOCKING TRAGEDY AT ILKESTON, DERBYSHIRE. A most determined and cold-blooded murder was perpetrated at a late hour on Wednesday evening last, at Ilkeston, by a young man, named George Smith, aged 20, a twist hand, upon his father, Joseph Smith, aged 40, a shoemaker, and a man of property, residing in Bath-street, in that town. The facts of the case are as follow :—On Wed- nesday last, the son, George Smith, succeeded in extracting his father's bank book from a drawer in the house, and went to Nottingham with it. The book contained entries of moneys paid into the bank amounting to £l4O. He presented the book at the bank in Nottingham, but the cashier refused to give him the money, and he went direct to a spirit vaults in the same town and pledged the book for a sovereign. He returned by the last train from Nottingham tollkeston on Wednesday evening, and proceeded to a public-house in the latter town. He then went home, and afterwards returned to the public-house, and remarked to cne of his com p panions that " he thought there would be something amiss at his father's house that night." Smith left the public-house about a quarter to twelve o'clock on Wednesday night, and about 20 minutes past twelve o'clock Superintendent Hudson was pro ceeding along Bath-street, and met two of his officers close to Smith's house. They heard screams of " Murder !" and on passing under the bed-room window of the house, the younger brothers of the murderer shouted out, " George has shot our father." The police then went into the house, and were horrified at finding Mr. Smith, senior, lying on his back on the floor quite dead, his brains being scattered about the room and the greater part of his skull blown off. The deceased was in his night-shirt, and had evidently come down stairs to reprimand his son for staying out so late and taking the bank-book, when the latter deli berately presented a pistol at his father's head and shot out his brains. Mr. Norman, surgeon, was speedily in attendance ; but death was instan taneous. As soon as the murderer had perpetrated this horrid tragedy, he rushed out of the house in his shirt sleeves and his coat off to a house of the companion he had been drinking with, a distance of 200 yards from his father's, where he knocked at the door and said his father had just shot him self. He was at once taken into custody by Super intendent Hudson, who afterwards proceeded to examine the house for the wadding, but it was found to have been embedded in the brain of the murdered man. They then searched for the gun or pistol, and shortly after daylight yesterday (Thursday) morning a policeman found a pistol at a distance of about 50 yards from Smith's house. It had been thrown over a hedge into a field, and had evidently recently been fired out of. The pri soner was yesterday (Thursday) morning brought before Mr. Radford, county magistrate, at Smalley, and remanded. The inquest was opened yesterday (Thursday) afternoon at the Queen's Head, Ilkeston. As we said before, the murdered man was well-to-do in the world, and the murderer was " asked" in Belton Church, Leicestershire, to a girl named Ellen Cox, for the first time on Sun day last. There is not the slightest reason for supposing that the prisoner is insane. He says his father shot himself. The tragedy, as may well be supposed, has caused the greatest excitement in the neighbourhood. On Wednesday morning the murderer wrote a note in lead-pencil to his sweetheart at Belton, in which he said he was afraid his father would make away with himself before long. Detective Davis has gone over to Belton to try to get pos session of the letter. EXPORT OF GOLD TO AMERICA.—The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Steamship CompanY'B screw She steamer Kangaroo sailed from Liverpool yester 000 In gold daY: took out abold 60 0 04 1 podmogem an d I v o gits, ill Welt, - orfolk harbour, in rear of the enemy, would be incalculable to thel Northerners. A few sunken ships at the mouth of Norfolk Har bour would be a very frail barrier against the ap proach of the Great Eastern under steam. Since her last visit to America the great ship has, of course, had her usual share of ill fortune and em barrassment, which culminated the other day when she was seized in execution by Mr. Davis, high sheriff of Pembrokeshire, in satisfaction of the debt due by the Company to Mr. Scott Russell. At first, this seizure threatened to put a final stop upon the intended voyage to America, and, in fact, ac cording to the strict letter of the law, Mr. Russell might have put her up to auction and knocked her down to himself the day after the sheriff had made his monster capture. Matters, fortunately, were not pushed to thiP extreme, though it was some time before the claims were finally adjusted, and the sheriff's officers were actually in possession till the ship was almost on the point of sailing. The rate of speed attained during the last voyage, except during one or two days, was, on the whole, considered low for a vessel from which so much was anticipated in this respect. The deficiency was attributed on all hands to the very foul state of the vessel's bottom. Accordingly when the Great Eastern returned, and she became at once plunged in her usual chaos of difficulties—her screw bear. ings out of order, her decks deficient, and everything wanting more or less of readjustment and repair, it was decided to lay her up for the winter on a gridiron at Milford Haven, and put her into thorough order. The gridiron was easily made, and the Great Eastern as easily laid upon it, and it was then found beyond a doubt that from whatever cause the lack of speed proceeded, it did not arise from a weedy bottom. There was a cer tain amount of green slime all over below her water line, but on the whole the bottom was considered unusually clean and free. Whatever little slime there was, however, was soon removed, and the whole bottom coated thoroughly with white paint. The gridiron on which she lay was short of her enormous length by very many feet, and thus a short space at the stern, and a considerable portion of the bows, projected over without support at either end. During some of the high flood tides of winter, when it was feared she might float, it was found necessary to pump water into her forward compartments. This precaution, of course, brought, an undue strain upon the part of the bow left un supported, and the iron compartment showed signs of bulging and leakage. For this evil there was unfortunately no remedy till the ship was afloat, when the defects were at once made good. In the meantime while on the gridiron some important improvements were effected. The old and unsightly deck was coated with pitch and a new two-inch deck of the best seasoned pine laid over it. All the lower decks were caulked. This change is to the eye the greatest that has been effected, and nothing can equal the beauty of the wide, smooth, snowy expanse of deck as it now appears. Feed pumps were also fitted to the paddle-engines, the screw-shaft lifted, turned down and fitted with massive brass bearings turning upon lignum vitae. The difficulty of effecting this improvement was exceedingly great, and at one time it was thought almost certain that the entire screw shaft would have to be lifted out. Fortunately the skill and ingenuity of Mr, D. Gooch saved the shareholders this vast expense, and the work has been effectually performed at the smallest possible cost. Other minor improvements in the way of new passages of communication between the main and lower deck saloons were also made at the same time, and all changes which it had been felt could be made for the better thoroughly carried out. Among others was that of removing the immense square yards from the fore and mainmasts. Square sails for such a vessel as the Great Eastern are practically absur dities ; nothing short of a gale astern affects them, and their enormous size gives all hands some hours' work to set them, while taking them in in heavy weather is all but impossible, as was shown during the brief summer gale on the first voyage. The resistance they offer when steaming head to wind is sufficient to diminish speed almost a knot an hour. These alterations, of course, make a great change in her external appearance, and the re moval of all the sails gives her a lighter and more sea-going look abaft. The funnels have been painted of a bright red, and th e abominable f white line round her, which gives her the lo k o o in the ba_ck, has being " hogged," or breaking been renewed in all its o ld deformity. o com plete is the optical delusion caused by this line, that even experienced sailors and engineers cannot at first sight bring themselves to believe that the ap parent sinking is not real, and that the vessel has not sustained injury by being laid on the gridiron. Itis almost unnecessary to say that no such alarm ing symptoms have appeared, and that the vessel is as strong and perfect in her hull as on the day she first left the Thames. Most of the passengers came down to Milford on Wednesday by a special train, which left Padding ton at eight in the morning. There is very little doubt but that in this voyage there would have been 300 or 400 first-class passengers but for the great un certainty which prevailed that the differences be tween the company and Mr. Russell would be so adjusted as to let the vessel start at all. Very many, therefore, declined to take their passages on the mere understanding that she would go on the Ist "if no unforeseen difficulty prevented." About 100, however, were bold enough to venture (and among them were several ladies), and these arrived at Milford at four on Wednesday afternoon. The Great Eastern lay some four miles out, in the centre of the noble harbour, but one of the Water ford boats, the City of Paris, was hired for the use of passengers. In this, after the luggage delay;the party embarked, and proceeded down the harbour. Just as they were close alongside the huge vessel an annoying delay was occasioned by the City of Paris getting hard aground. She was moved ahead, and turned astern, and passengers ballasted from one side to the other, but all in vain. Fortunately the tide was rising, or the passengers might hav_e o V a weary time of it ; as it was, some were sent t a il t o r" last, in small boats and others were going, whtenEastern with the aid of a hawser from the Great more and a quick tide, the City of Paris got . colossal sister, afloat, and dropped alongside heeraused a greater The contretemps had, wt.etvoesris'azil:;:lit that ts timethe delay than was convenilei; ship to were well on hour fixed for the big none was passed before all the d i sa ppointment of many, board.

Marine Battalion on board from China, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Gascoigne, steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday to land her freight, and berthed alongside the dockyard. Shortly after going into the harbour, the Adven ture was officially inspected by Captain J. B. Dickson, of her Majesty's ship Trafalgar. Her crew afterwards unbent sails preparatory to dismantling and being put out of commission, the ship and her machinery requiring a thorough overhaul and re pair, more especially the la'ter, which has been in an unsafe condition the past three years. Captain Lacy commissioned the Adventure on the 20th of April, 1857. The Mersey, 40, screw, Capt. H. Caldwell, C. 8., at Portsmouth, is ordered to fill up stores and pro visions immediately for foreign service. The Icarus, 11, screw, Commander N. Salmon, V.C., steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday to Spithead, where she will take in powder and shell before leaving for foreign service. The Pigmy paddle, Master-Commander John stone, left Portsmouth yesterday for Portland, with provisions, &c., for her Majesty's ship Colossus. The Sampson, 6, paddle, Capt. G. S. Hand, C. 8., had her masts taken out alongside the shear jetty of Portsmouth Dockyard yesterday. Her crew will be paid off from her to-morrow. The Jasper, 1, screw gunboat, Lieut. Commander Pym, will pay off her crew and be put out of com mission at Portsmouth to-day. Yesterday the Mariner, 12 gun sailing sloop, was brought up from the ordinary at Chatham and placed under the floating shears to receive the boilers, cylinder, and the heavy portion of the machinery for the line-of-battle screw steamer Bom bay, 81, until the latter vessel has been undocked and is in a condition to receive them on board. In consequence of the height of the Mariner out of water about 50 tons of iron ballast were sent on board from the dockyard to bring her down. During the afternoon the large cylinder, weighing 22 tons, was lifted by the powerful shears and placed on board the Matiner. The condenser for the Bonai bay, weighing 10 tons, was landed at the dockyard from one of the lighters yesterday afternoon. The Defiance, 91, recently brought from Pem broke, was placed yesterday alongside Devonport Dockyard, for the purpose of returning her jury gear and navigating stores. ~The paddlewheel steam frigate Magicienne, 16, was removed yesterday from Devonport Dockyard to the hulk Lively, in Hamoaze. The paddlewheel steam surveying -vessel Bann will not be removed from the Dockyard at Devon port until to-day. The paddlewheel steam tender Avon, W. Long, second master, in charge, embarked seamen belong ing to the Channel fleet at Plymouth on Wednes day, and in the evening left for Portland. The screw steam gunvessel Surprise, 5, was re moved yesterday from the dock in Keyham steam yard, and went outside Plymouth Breakwater to try her machinery. The training ship Daedalus, 19, at Devonport, has received her masts and bowsprit, and will be taken to the dockyard to be rigged for service at Bristol. The following appointments were made 'yester day at the Admiralty :—Edwin Boulton, chief engi neer, to the Indus, for the Princess Royal ; Thomas Rose and James Sawyer, third-class assist.-engi neers, additional to the Neptune, for disposal on the Mediterranean station ; Henry S.

Ferguson, acting third-class assist-engineers, additional to the Nep tune, for disposal 'on the Mediterranean station ; John Hancock, acting third-class assist.-engineer, to the Majestic ; and George H. Johnson, clerk, to the Illustrious. THE ARMY. Gen. Sir J. F. Burgoyne, Bart., G.C.8., Inspector- General of Fortifications, arrived from London on Wednesday, and was occupied nearly the entire day in the inspection of the coast fortifications be longing to the Chatham district. The principal points of the fortifications inspected were the de fences at the mouth of the Medway for protection of the important arsenals and naval establishments at Sheerness and Chatham, Sir John Burgoyne being accompanied by the resident officer command ing Royal Engineers at Sheerness. The line of fortifications seaward were very minutely inspected, and the attention of the Inspector-General of For tifications directed to certain points of the defences which require to be materially strengthened. From what transpired during the visit of General Sir J. Burgoyne, it is understood that the strength of the fortress at Sheerness will shortly be considerably augmented by the erection of a line of inland bat teries. The defences on the north side of the en trance to the River Medway are also to be mate rially strengthened. At present that portion of the river's entrance is defended only by a circular martello tower of great strength, mounting three 68-pounder guns, each of 95 cwt. The addition which it is proposed to make, however, will consist of two permanent works, on which will be mounted a powerful armament, consisting of 100-pounder long range Armstrong guns, and 68-pounder and 10-inch guns, and these, in conjunction with the new line of fortifications shortly to be commenced on the south side of the estuary of the Medway, will render the entrance to that river almost impas sable to any hostile vessel, and materially add to the security of the dockyards at Chatham and Sheerness. After completing a careful survey of the fortifications General Sir J. Burgoyne returned to town. The Duke of Cambridge has given directions for the immediate issue of a supply of Martin's liquid shells for the service of the 68 pounder and 10-inch guns mounted on the works connected with the Chatham line of defences at Tilbury Fort, New Tavern Fort, and Sheerness. The cupolas for " ing the iron with which Martin's shells are _t:o_evbee fitted have already been received at the " forts.
