CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The inTairy for monetary accommodation this Morning in the general discount market is reported as active, the transactions at 31 per cent. have been only exceptional, the full rate of 4 per cent. being charged for first class three months' paper. This present firmness, it is supposed, will continue till after the payment of the October dividends, by Which time also the expenditure in connection with the harvest iu the n9rthern districts will also have C eased, and a large amount of capital thus be thrown upon the general market. A further sum of £47,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. The Rexburg h Castle, from:Alelbourne, has arrived With £174,000. From the manufacturing districts the accounts for the past week continue satisfactory. Basin, as at Manchester in both cloths and yarns remaintd moderately active, while in the woollen districts'of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been rather less inquiry for winter goods. In the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Not tingham there has been a steady business negotiated, While in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton no material altera tion can be reported. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr, Reuter's tele gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were dull at 68f. 40c. to 68f. 47c. BusinEss has been resumed this morning in the English Stock Market, but little activity is dis played. In fact, English are neglected for many of the foreign descriptions, and, as a consequence, Consols are quoted the same as on Friday. The prices are 93f, k for money, and 93a- t for the ac count. The Reduced 3 per Cents. are 92k and the New Threes, 928 ; Exchequer Bills continue at par to 3s. prem.; India 5 per Cents., 1081 g ; and the Bonds, 16s. to 20s. prem. Several important alterations have taken place in the Foreign market, and business is very stave. Mexican have been as high as 471 I, but they have since reacted to 461 47, or g above the closing prices of Friday last. The Confederate Loan has dropped 21 per cent., viz., to 28 26 die. Turkish 6 per cents., 1858, have risen to 701 711; do. 1862, to 711 72; do. Consolides, to 541 55. Greek are 381 39; do. Coapons, 18-1 19; Spanish Passive, 361 37 ; do. Certificates, 141 ; and Vene zuelan, 61 62. In the Railway Share Market there has been very little animation, and quotations generally ahnw no change of importance. Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, South Western, Midland, and South Eastern, have receded ss; and Great Western have advanced ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive at about previous rates. Bank awl Miscellaneou. shares continue to be dealt in to a fair extent, and prices have generally shown an upward movement.

Wo are also in formed, though not officially, of several circumstances in connection with this investigation which require the earnest notice of the authorities, inasmuch as they tend to destroy in the minds of the men all respect for the administration of justice, and all confidence in those charged with its ad ministration, Although the facts are before us we refrain from entering into them, in the hope that the proceedings of the court will have remedied the strange and unaccountable errors, apparently committed in the preliminary stages of affair. —Army and .Navy Gazette. The Ordnance Select Committee now sitting under the presidency of Captain Heath, R.N., C. 8.. have taken a very practical mode of discovering the causes of the yielding of the Shorncliff guns, have caused one of the former, and several of the latter, which had failed in experiments, to be cut open. The gun is one of those which had been objected to on account of being " lined," but it Was found that the line had remained sound and kept the glut together, though the inner tube and outside coil, co. vered by the trunnion, had separated more than half an inch, This separation is, it is feared, going on in all the 2'' B , and seems to be owing to the muzzle nip, which, by th e ght lY arresting the shot when in rapid flight, tend s t o pu ll h eO 4 °Pen longitudinally.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1 863. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The trade for English wheat in the country markets held on Saturday, was very dull, and prices declined from is to 2s per quarter. Fine malting barley was firm in price ; but all other articles met a slow trade, and the quotations had a downward tendency. Advices from New York state that the export demand for wheat and flour was very limited, and that prices had fur.. ther declined. On the Continent the corn trade generally is dull. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were but moderate. The import 3 from abroad amounted to 14,026 quarters of wheat, 7,755 barley, 68,868 oats, 1,063 beans, 698 peas, 12 tares, 7,911 linseed, 544 oilseAs, 1,000 maize, 534 sundry seeds, 65 sacks, and 1,166 barrels of flour' Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of English wheat were only moderate, but the quality and condition of the produce were excellent. The demand both for red and white qualities ruled heavy in the extreme, and the prices realised were 2s per quarter lower than on Monday last. The fall was equally groat on Kent as on Essex produce. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. All descriptions sold heavily, and a decline of is per quarter took place in the currency of this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, and the value both of wheat and spring corn had a downward tendency. There was an increased supply of English barley on offer, and several parcels of Seale produce were on the stands, in fine condition. Grinding qualities moved off steadily at quite previous rates, otherwise the barley trade was less active, at a decline of ls. to 2s. per quarter. In malt a fair average business was transacted, and prices ruled firm. The supply of oats on sale was very large. The trade for all qualities was in a sluggish state, and prices were 6d to is per quarter lower than on Monday last. The show of beans was very moderate, yet the demand ruled inactive, at about previous rates. Peas met a slow sale, on former terms. The show of samples was much restricted. Flour changed hands to a limited extent, and both Eng lish and foriign qualities changed hands at somewhat re duced rates. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The calendar contains the names of 101 persons for trial, of whom no fewer than 21 are charged with uttering coun terfeit coin, 3 for firing stacks in Bent, 2 for forgery, 2 for housebreaking, and 11 for misdemeanour. The other cases are of the ordinary description, hut there is also a case of child murder and attempted suicide in Marylebone. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said there were, he was happy to say, but two or three cases upon which he need address them. There was one case of a painful character, a charge of wilful murder, in which there was no question of the facts. On the contrary, it was clear the murder had been committed by the prisoner, and the only question would be the state of mind of the prisoner at the time. That, however, would not be for them to con sider, but it would very properly be taken into consideration by the jury in that court. There was also the case of a woman named Engleheart, who was charged with causing the death of her child, of the age of four years. The child, it woutd appear, was of unclean habits, and some time ago the mother had medical advice; she had placed the child in a cold bath, and kept it there 10 minutes. On taking it out the child appeared exhausted, and she then put the child under the pump, and afterwards took it upstairs. Finding the child insensible, she was afraid she had kept it in the bath too long, and pre pared a warm bath, into which she placed deceased. She told the neighbours she was afraid she had kept the child too long in the cold water; but, on examination, some bruises were discovered on the body of the child, and she accounted for them by saying she had let the child fall. A person who was in the house at the time would prove that she heard no noise, and they would have to say whether the case ought to be further investigated. The next was the charge against a person of the name of Styles, who was indicted under an Act of Parlia ment passed in the reign of George 111., the Foreign En listment Act, which made it a misdemeanour for any person to attempt to enlist persons for the service of a war with a foreign power with whom this country was at peace. In the present instance the defendant was indicted for enlist ing persons to serve in the war at present going on between Poland and Russia. Two people were attracted by advertisements inserted by Mr. Styles for young men wishing employment, and on inquiry it turned out that the employment was to assist the Poles against the Russians. If those facts were proved before them it would be their duty to return a true bill, and the whole matter would undergo the fullest investigation. In the event of any difficulty arising the court would most readily give the grand jury every assistance. The gentlemen forming the grand jury then retired to their room,and in a few minutes after the trials commenced. William Jackson, dealer, convicted last session with William Storrs, a groom, for conspiring to defraud, was brought up for judgment, the sentence having been post poned from last session, when his companion received 10 years' penal servitude, in order that certain inquiries might be made. It was proved that the prisoner had been twice convicted. On the first occasion he was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment,and on the second to four years' penal servitude. _ _ _ The prisoner, on being asked in the usual form why sen tence should not be passed upon him, said in a whining tone that he knew he had broken the laws of his country and ought to be punished, but he implored the mercy of the Court on account of his wife and children. The Recorder said he saw no reason why he should not pass the same sentence as he had on his companion. The sentence of the court therefore was that he be kept in penal servitude for 10 years. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our market to-day was extensively supplied with foreign stock, for which the demand ruled heavy on easier terms. The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were seasonably extensive as to number, but the general quality of the stock was by no means first rate. Prime breeds commanded a steady inquiry at full prices— the top quotation being 5s per 81bs; otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbs, and at which a clearance was not effected. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,500 shat-horns, &c. ; from other parts of England. 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 6 Scots; and from Ireland, 700 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was on the increase, and most breeds were in fair condition. The mutton trade ruled somewhat heavy, and the currencies gave way 2d per Sibs. The best Downs sold at 5s 2d per 81bs. The few lambs in the market sold at mutton prices. Tho supply of calves was only moderate, and the veal trade was inactive at last week's prices. The top figure was 4s 8d per 81bs. We have to report an improved sale for pigs, and a slight upward movement in value. Per Slb. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

MARLBOROIUGH-STREET. THE LOVE OF PLEASURE AND DRESS—ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—HeIen Sarah Jollie, a young female, smartly attired, and wearing a hat with feathers, was charged before Mr. Knox with robbing Mr. Andrew Beresford, tailor, of 62, Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, of a quantity of property. Mr. Beresford said that on Saturday week the prisoner, who had only been three weeks in his service as a nurse, was dismissed by him, and after she had left he missed six blankets, and several other articles. He at once communi cated with the police, and on Saturday night last he gave her in charge in the Haymarket, when she said she had not taken the things. Louisa Mann, a girl about 14 years of age, said she was in Mr. Bereaford's service at the same time as the prisoner, and one day the prisoner asked her to go to a loan office to get her a form, stating that she wanted to borrow £25 to set up in business. At th 9 loan office 48 was wanted for the form, and as the prisoner had not got the money, she gave her (witness) two of her master's blankets to pledge, and she (witness) went with a friend, who pledged them at Mr. Aldons's, in Berwick-street, for 6s, and the money w a s given to the prisoner. Mr. Knox asked the witness whether she made the state ment entirely voluntarily, and the witness said she did, and that she told Mr. Beresford about the blankets last Satur day night, having left the previous Saturday. Prisoner said the witness did not leave on the previous Saturday. . Mr. Knox asked the witness whether she was with the prisoner on Saturday night in the Haymarket? The witness said she was, but not with the same set. Police constable Davy, 47 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody on Saturday night in the Haymarket. On being searched only a bunch of keys, an empty purse, and a loan office form for £25, filled up, were found in the pri soner's possession. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week. WESTMINSTER. ROBBERIES BY SHOMEIC — Edward Haycock, about 23 years of age, was placed at the bar charged with systematic and continual robbery of his master, Mr. William Watts, a chemist, at 71, Fulham-road. Prosecutor said that the prisoner entered his employment as assistant on the 26th of last month. In two or three days afterwards prosecutor had occasion to leave town for four or five days, the prisoner having charge of the business. On the prosecutor's return he found the takings in the shop to be very small, and spoke to prisoner about it, who said he was not aware that he had sent any customers away. Immediately after this prosecutor accompanied his wife for three or four days on a visit to Hertfordshire, and on his re turn again was so struck with the smallness of the takings, and having consulted with the Superintendent of Police at the Cottage-road station, it was determined that some money should be marked and paid to prisoner. This was acordingly done, and on Saturday a small sum was missed from the till, and prisoner was asked to produce the money he had in his pocket, when a marked shilling and some halfpence were found after some concealment, The pri soners portmanteau was then arched, when some more marked money was found, and several bottles of scent, which prosecutor had very little doubt belonged to him. Prisoner did not say anything in answer to the charge, and was ccnveyed to the station. Prisoner was remanded for a week. Prosecutor requested a warrant to search the apartments of a young woman with whom the prisoner is intimate. She had been to the house, and about that time a florin and other property was missed. Mr. Arnold—There is nothing to show that she had the property, and I cannot, under such circumstances, grant a search warrant. THAMES. TILE THIEF AND RECEIVER,—CONVICTION OF A MARINE STORE DEALER.—Arthur Gates, a labourer, and Jonas Lyons, a marine store dealer, were brought before Mr. Partridge, the former with stealing a bag containing rags, the property of his employer, and the other with feloniously receiving the property, well knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, defended Lyons. Mr. John Taylor, rag merchant, of No. 37, Green-street, Stepney, stated that on Saturday, the 12th inst., about mid-day ho sent his man Gates with 41 bags of rags to the South-Eastern Railway. He subsequently ascert,tined one bag of rice had been stolen. It had not been recovered. On Saturday morning last he asked Gates what ho had done with the missing bag of rags. After some hesitation, the prisoner said ho had lost the bag. He then said to him, " How came you to take a pass from the South Eastern Railway Company to go out at the gates with the bag—they let you out with a portion of the load you ought to have delivered there." The prisoner said nothing to that. He then touched the feelings of the prisoner, and again asked him what he had done with the bag of rags. " Gates replied, I have sold it ; I will take you to the man's house." He proceeded with police-con stable Dunaway, a detective officer, No. 129 H, to the house of the prisoner Lyons, in North-street, Batty-street, Commercial-road. He asked Lyons if he had bought any rags of gates. Lyons said he had bought nothing of the kind. On the way to the station-house Lyons told Duna way that ho had purchased a sack full of rags, such as those described. He asked Lyons to show him the rags, and he said "No, I cannot do that; I have sold rags of that character since then, last Saturday." Lyons then offered to pay him for the rags He refused to accede to those terms. After Lyons was looked up he went with Dunaway to his premises in North-street, and searched the place. The rags could not be found. The value of the bag of rags was £1 138. Gates said that Lyons gave him 17a. for the, rags, only a little more than half the value. In cross-examination by Mr. Stoddart, the prosecutor said he first discovered a deficiency a day or two after he sent Gates to the South Eas ter n Railway. The rags censistt.d of new linen cuttings. Porter William Dunaway, an in telligent detective officer, confirmed all the material parts of Mr. Taylor's evidenc e, an d produced a book of entries, and said there was no entry in that book of the put , chase of rags. Lyons admitted to him that he gave the prisoner Gates 17s. for the rags, and that he had made no entry of the purchase in his book. In answer to Mr. Stoddart, the officer said he h a d k nown Lyons five years, and believed he had never been in trouble before. He never heard any c omplaint again st L yons. Gates, on being called on for his defence, said--I plead guilty. Mr. Stoddart admitted that his client had incautiously purchased the rags of Gates, and hoped the magistrate would take into consideration the fact that Lyons had a large famil3 to maintain, and had been in business five years without a complaint being made against him. Mr. Partridge said this was a bad case—a robbery of an employer by his servant. He sentenced Gates to two months' imprisonment and hard labour, He advised Lyons to be more careful in future, and fined him £5. The penalty was instantly paid. SHIPPING—This Day.

Bernhard Behrenz, brush maker, was indicted under the new Bankruptcy Act for misdemeanour, he, after being adjudged a bankrupt, having concealed and disposed of a part of his property with a view to defraud his creditors. The defendant had kept a brushmaker's shop in Cam berwell, and also reported himself as a general dealer in the habit of attending the fairs held in Germany, and upon these representations he obtained a large quantity of goods from Messrs. Wilson, warehousemen, and paid various sums of money from time to time. The defendant was adjudicated a bankrupt on the 27th of May last, and on that day he went to a shipping-agent at St. Katherine's wharf, and represented that he wanted to forward a number of packages to Cologne by the next packet by way of Rotterdam, and it was of the utmost importance that no delay should take place. In a short time after a large quantity of cocoa nut matting, Dutch carpeting, &c., &c., was sent to the wharf, and when he next saw the defendant he said he had disposed of his busi ness to his brother, payment for which he had received in bills of exchange, which he took away with him as well as a gold chain, a large quantity of silk scarfs, and a number of trunks and other travelling boxes. The defendant left England for Cologne, and afterwards he was apprehended on a warrant by Webb, of the City detective force, and on their arrival in England the officer discovered the residence of the defendant, and there he succeeded in recovering a large quantity of property for the creditors. The trial was proceeding when we went to press. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. COVENTRY. The auddec death of the Right Hon. Mr. Ellice, eceaeioned wide-spread Brief throughout the borough of Coventry, which the deceased gen- tleman has represented so long and so well. On Saturday evening it is usual in Coventry for the bellringers to practice at all the churches where there are peals of bells. Last Saturday night, how ever, for the first time during a long period, the custom was not observed. Instead of it, time bells, or knells, sounded dolefully at stated intervals from every church tower in the city. There can be little doubt but that the seat which Mr. Ellice's death has rende►ed vacant will be stoutly contested on behalf both of the Conservative and the Liberal interest. At present, however, no indecent haste is being displayed by either side. The wardsmen— a section of the electors who usually take the initiative—are not expected to be called together until after the funeral of their late re spected member. Until they have so assembled no authoritative invitation will be conveyed to any gentleman to allow himself to be put in nomination. WEST WORCESTERSHIRE. It is now authoritatively announced that the Hon. F. Lygon has been formally solicited to offer him self for West Worcestershire, iii the room of his brother, Lord Elmley, now raised to the peerage by the death of his father, Earl Beauchamp, and that the hon. gentleman has accepted the i n vitation and will issue his address to the electors in a few days. Sir Thomas Wilmington, the member for Bewdley, was spoken of as a candidate for the division at the general election, but it is thought be will not offer himself on the present occasion. TEWKESBURY. Mr. Lygon being about to quit the representation of this borough for West Worcestershire, a vacancy occurs for which several candidates are named ; but, es yet, none is actually in the field. The gentlemen named are Sir E. A. H. Lechmere, of the Rhydd, who has a bank at Tewkesbury ; Mr, Dowdeswell, of Pull Court, near the town, a popu lar man here ; Mr. Talbot, nephew or Lord Lyttei ton, who contested Kidderminster unsuccessfully at the last election, and, lastly, Mr. Logan, a gen tleman connected with a large stocking weaving fac tory lately established in Tewkesbury. THE FRENCH IN MEXICO. The Paris papers publish the following news from Mexico to the 10th of August, and from Vera Cruz to the 17th of August : " Since the last report received by the Minister of War no particular change has taken place i❑ the state of affairs. The military operations have been chiefly the pursuit of the guerilla bands which are spread in the neieibourhood of Mexico and the occupation of various points, as Apam, Teotihuacan, and Tlalpan, which enables us to form a sufficiently extended rayon to protect the populations from brigandage. "On the 16th of July Col. Hennique, with the regiment of marines which he commanded, left Puebla for Vera Cruz, where he arrived on Aug 6, and immediately embarked for Tampico; the battery which defended the entrance of the river and the bar was destroyed on the Bth by the guns of the ships ; the troops landed on the 9th, and on the 11th the town surrended without resistance. " On July 28 General Miramon arrived at Mexico, where he was received by the Marshal Com mander in-Chief, to whom he intimated his inten tion to recognise the French intervention. "The political state of affairs is daily improving, the spirit of the population is favourable, and the conviction that the new system will be maintained mslcs them frankly accept the intervention of the ❑ew Empire. " The news from the coast is also satisfactory. The Mexican Empire has been declared at Carmen, Tabasco, and Minatillan, and a small body of auxiliary troops suffices to maintain ordi,r. "The health of the troops is gocd.'' NEW GATE AN : The supply of meat on sale good. Generally speaking, I prices are well supported.

The import, last week, was 1,107 bales from Jamaica, and 557 bales from Port Elizabeth. SEEDS. Mustard seed, both brown and white,continues very firm, at the extreme rates current ast week, For other seeds elitist's Hospital Speech Day.—This Day, STATE VISIT OF THE CORPORATION. To-day being St. Matthew's Day, the Corporation of the City of London paid their annual %isit to Christ's Hospital this morning. They were received by the Rev. Dr. Jacob, the head master, the Rev, R. South, the Rev. M. Gibbs, the masters of the various departments in the school, and the three Grecians who are about leaving for the Univer sities. In the first instance the Corporation attended Divine Service in Christ Church, Newgate-street. At the close of the service the Corporation and visitors proceeded to the great hall, which was soon well filled. The Corporation occupied raised seats at the western end of the hall, and the orations were delivered from a dais in the centre. Mr. J. H. WYLIE, first Grecian, Classical Medalist, 1863, Scholar of Pembroke College, Oxford, delivered the English oration in praise of the founder. After some pre paratory remarks on the excellence of the institution, he inquired what name in history was more honoured than that of the royal founder of that house? Was there an Englishman who did not feel a pride at the mention of Edward VI. It might be that his early and premature removal from an earthly throne had spared his reign from infamy and his name from scandal, but the acts of his short life were of so distinguishing a colour, and all his ways so stamped with piety, that surely they did not give him more than his due who distinguished him with the name of " The Good." His name should be graven on the hearts of each and all of those who ever had experienced the benefits of his royal hospitals. His memory stood in every corner of those time-honoured foundations, and in those monuments of piety he had built up for himself an impe rishable name, which no decay, nor time, nor age should Lever take away. From his day until this present hour, through all the changes of 300 years, the star of that house had been ever rising —her foundations had become daily deep-rooted, and her head now towered amongst the highest glories of the land, because she had dispensed her blessings, hoping for nothing in return. She saw her sons at home in every walk of life, mounting in the steps of ster ling industry to high and honourable positions—abroad, in every profession or occupation in which a man could law fully engage, she had seen them struggling to approve themselves good servants to their Queen and country . (Cheers.) Well might that school be called the boast of Englishmen. In the gratuitous education of English youth she took the lion's share—her interests were guarded by the representatives of every class (as the armorial bearings on those walls could well attest), her foundation was benevo lence, and her support a strict discharge of duty. He well knew that there were those who were glad to attack and ridicule her system, who were "utterly sceptical" as to her advantages, but against them stood unanswerably the great practical results that had been effected, and were being effected, by her means, and they did but think how different might have been the case had her management been en trusted to less able and less scrupulous hands. It had been usual on these occasions to enliven the course of the Eng lish speech by some marked allusions to the political events of the past year, but ho had purposely avoided all notice of such topics that day, because he must confess himself incapable of connecting the Confederate cause or the insurrection in Poland with the benefits of the Royal Hospital. Having conveyed the hearty congratu lations of the sch , ool of which the Prince of Wales is a governor, to the Prince and Princess, Mr. Wylie remarked that there were two subjects of hones interest of which all would be expecting some mention. This year had seen the first very spirited attempt to establish among them a pub lic competition in English athletic sports; hitherto, how ever, no opportunity had occurred of thanking the movers and promoters of these excellent games, so that he should best express the feelings of every boy throughout the school, when he offered their hearty thanks to those gen tlemen who originated and supported the athletic games of 1863. Their exertions were indefatigable, their rewards libe ral, their decisions impartial, and, as might be expected, their success was complete. (Cheers.) The orator next adverted to the sudden death of Mr. Chapman, the French master, upon whose character he passed a high eulogium. Mr. J. H. Nrw Num, second Grecian, mathematical me dallist, and imes scholar, 1863, scholar of Pembroke Col lege, Cambridge, delivered a Latin oration. He remarked that King Edward had been praised at that commemoration so assiduously for 300 years, that the ears and minds of the audience had become wearied from the very excess of praise lavished on them. He might be allowed, therefore, to dis miss King Edward and his good deeds, and to employ the opportunity of bestowing his thanks upon the gentlemen before him, who deserved them so well. He then briefly touched on the loss they hid sustained in the death of their French master, M. Chapman, and turning to Dr. Brette, his successor, bade him a most cordial and eloquent wel come. He briefly noticed what he termed the spiteful attack which had been made by Mr. Gladstone on Christ's Hospital. _ _ Mr. C. G. LoAD, third Grecian, who is proceeding to Trinity College, Cambridge, delivered the Greek oration. He expressed his opinion that the praises of King Edward could never be exhausted. That religious, royal, and ancient foundation had often been bitterly assailed with the most malignant invectives, yet had they seen its grandeur daily increasing, and its system, although maligned, conti nually trampling over its antagonists. That sacred foun dation, which the fell sword of civil war could not injure, nor the scourge of pestilence molest, nor the storm of anni hilating fire blast, had stood for more than three centuries —a loving foster mother, ever affording to the homeless an abiding place and a home. (Cheers.) The following were also recited : —Greek lambics, trans late°. trom "Richard the Second," by Mr. Lewis 1, Hardy Sharky, Fourth Grecian, Classical Medallist, and Richard's Medallist 1862; Latin Elegiacs, Translation o: "The Soldiers Dream," by Mr, Arthur Bovell, Eighth Grecian ; Greek Hexameters, translation from " Paradise Lost," by Mr. Charles Alan Tyffe, Fifth Grecian ; Latin Hexameters, "Fodinoo Carbonarim," Richard's Prize Com position, by Mr. George Frederick Warner, Sixth Grecian ; Greek Elegiacs, translation of " The Field of Gilboa," by Mr. William Farrer, Seventh Grecian; Latin Alcaics, translation from " The Lady of the Lake," by Mr, Robert Harry Hughes, Ninth Grecian; English Poem, "The Nile," by Mr. Charles Alan Tyffe, Fifth Grecian. At the close of the recitations purses were handed round and collections made for the Grecians, who are proceeding to the Universities. The National Anthem was then sung with great heartiness, and the proceedings closed. THE ANNAMITE AMBASSADORS. The Annamite Ambassadors were on Friday re ceived by the French Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Moniteur gives the following account of the reception :—" The Envoys and their suite wore on the occasion the costume used for grand ceremonies, which is precisely the same as was worn in the time of the old Chinese dynasty of the Mings. Phan. than• Gian, in spite of his profound emotion, ad dressed the Minister in very suitable language, and the reply, together with the cordial reception of which he was the object, soon set him at his case. Phan•than-Gian told M. I)rouyn do Lhuys that on the occasion of the ratifications of the treaty entered into between France and the Emperor of A nnam, the Emperor Napoleon having sent a mission to Hue, the Emperor Tu-Duc, on his side, had desired to send an embassy to compliment the Emperor of the French, and that he was happy at having been chosen by his Sovereign to fulfi that mission, and at being thus able to present his homages to the Minister. M. Dronyn de Lbuys replied that the Emperor regretted that he could not at present re ceive the Annamite mission, but that his Mbjesty had charged him to give them the most cordial welcome ; the Ambassador expressed his gratifica tion at the attention which the mission had met with on their voyage, and particularly since their arrival on the French territory. Thanks to Captain Aubaret, who acted as interpreter, the conversation was kept up without difficulty, and turned succes sively on the visit to the arsenal at Toulon, the arrival at Marseilles, &c. After taking tea which was served to them, the Ambassadors and their suite took leave of the Minister and returned to their hotel much pleased with the reception they had met with."

The little fellows were evidently much pleased with their visit to this interesting and instructive entertainment. Mr. Lord's graphic description of hair breadth 'scapes by flood and field in Oregon, British Colum bia, and amid the Rocky Mountains, with the scenery and songs, much interested the youngsters. Mr. Lord announced his intention to give a series of free invitations to the charitable institutions of London. The fund for the Stonewall Jackson monument amounts to £1,500. Mr, Foley is to be intrusted with its execution. ~~..,` Grand Match of Ball at Biar ri tz. A correspondent writing from Blare itz on the 17th says :—" You must not imagine that the fashionable circles alone find amusemen is here-- there is food for every taste. We two days back had a tremendous irruption of peasants, male an, 3. female, from the Basque country, attracted by a pul lie noti fication that a grand match of ball was to lae con tested by four of the most celebrated player:l of the Soule against four others equally noted from the Lallond, two districts long famous for producing splendid players. A Basque peasant, whether of France or of Spain—for the name applies to por tions of both countries—cannot imagine any greater glory than to be first-rate at the noble game of plume. There have been many instances of a farmer selling his horses or cows to raise funds to bet on some extraordinary player; end Whenever a solemn contest takes place, vast o re l n sums of money change hands. The game is played in tw o ways, either against a wall, as in i e s i la m a lo r / k /g ed ite, cu w t h , en an a d lo t n h g e narrow Etig lan dand I d, or piece f ground a hall is sent from one end of it towards the other, a hard as the player who gives the service can con trive to propel it. This latter mode is considered by far the nobler game, and was that selected on the present occasion. There were four combatants at each side, and every one of them had frequently distinguished himself in previous matches. The principal heroes of the Soule were two brothers named Mathieu, whilst the champions of the Lal.. loud were Moulin and Benjamin. Of the wh ole eight this last was the only one married, the res t being scarcely more than from 19 to 22. I n fact, when once a player enters into the bonds of matrimony, he generally abandons the game of a public player, and contents himself with the glory of his former exploits. The players wear on the right hand a sort of scooped glove, about a foot long, made of dried leather and whalebone, and with that adjunct they send a ball an immense dis tance. Whenever the ball in the course of the service, overpasses the extreme line of the play ground, that event in itself cfnstitutes the gain of a point, and is always greeted with shouts of ap plause. Only twice during the whole of the match at Biarritz did the ball overleap the extreme line, and in each case it was shot out as if from a catapult by Moulin, who for the rest of the day was addressed by the pet name of Mou linet, a token of admiration and affection. Both blows were struck at the very commencement of the play, and it would almost seem as if the exertion was too prodigious to be often repeated. As the game proceeded, the excitement became extreme, and the agitation of the spectators pre sented to the uninitiated something almost ludi crous. One thing only saved the scene from ridi.. cule, and that was, that the various occupants of the tribunes were beyond any doubt terribly in earnest. The sutes they wagered were extra ordinary, and I saw near the spot where I stood, a man whose whole attire was not worth twenty francs, pull out a handful of silver and gold and stake it on the Lallond. The mode of making the bets is curious ; when a wager is accepted the two parties place their money in the hands of a third party happening to stand near, and when the game is over the winner receives the double sum. Of course the person applied to for the office of stakeholder can decline, but if he refuses another is found the next instant, and scarcely ever does an instance occur of trust being betrayed. I had next me a boy of 15, well-dressed, and from his conversation liberally brought up ; he told me he had been saving all his pocket money for the last three months to risk it on the Soule, as his confidence in Moulinet was unbounded, Whenever a good blow was struck by the men of the boy's own party, his enthusiasm was uproarious, and a companion of his—but who, I could under stand, had not possessed any money to stake —even exceeded him in vocal demonstration. I fear, how ever, that they both went home in a melancholy mood, for when I left the ground, after looking at the proceedings for about two hours, the brothers Mathieu were gradually turning the scale, and vic tory for the other party seemed almost possible. I think it right, of a faithful chronicler, to declare that the play was pronounced by the best connois seurs to be first-rate, and that if Moulinet and Ben jamin could not succeed in changing the fortune of the day, it was not owing so much to any want of skill as to a series of mischances which will some- Jnes set in unaccountablyagainst a particular side. the scene was a curious one from the bright colours worn by the women, and the large sums ventured by the men ; and I have no doubt that the great match of paume at Biarritz in 1863 will long afford theme for conversation over the winter fire in many a village of the Basque country."—Ga/ignani. , _ RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
