11-iIIEY MARKET AND COIUMICIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Indications of easier feeling have been manifested today in discount circles. The transactions to-day have been very moderate, and es money is now beingahsorbed on account of the revenue payments the quietude of business has occasioned some sur prise among bankers and others, The rates are a little lower, but notwithstanding the concessions discounters are willing to make the mercantile com munity seem to be holding back their bills as much as their current demands will permit. A further sum of £12,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. The H arr i et Pinckney has arrived from Bermuda With X 70,000 in gold. In the manufacturing districts during the past Week there has not been any great deal of anima tion witnessed. At Manchester there was a decline in the quotation of cotton, with a dull market for cloths and yarn. Operations in woollen cloths at Leeds and Huddersfield, and in worsted goods at 114; ifix, have been carried on to a rather large ex tent, but at Bradford little business was negotiated. In the hardware districts also of Birmingham and Sheffield, there was a slight falling off in the de !tend both for country and foreign orders, Two o'. At Pari s thi s morn i ng, according to CLocx Renter's telegram the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 100 . Rather firm. Only a - very limited amount of business has been transacted to-day in the market for the English Funds, and it has not led to any alteration in the quotations, Consols being 901 / for money and account, and 908 d for the Bth of July.

MARKETS--This Day. MARK-LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were firm for wheat, and selected parcels were held at enhanced rates. In most descriptions of spring corn a moderate business was transacted at previous quotations. The flour trade was steady on former terms. We learn from New York that the value of wheat and flour had improved, and that the shipments to Great Britain had been on a liberal scale. On the Continent the trade, generally speaking, is steady. Limited supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroal amounted to 13,925 quarters of wheat ; 690 barley ; 8,113 oats ; 853 beans ; 1,035 peas ; 140 linseed ; 6,500 rapeseed ; 1,000 maize ; 70 sundry seeds, and 27 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of English wheat were decidedly on the increase, and the condition of the produce was for the most part good. The accounts at hand respecting the appearance of the crops being very favour able, the demand for red and white qualities ruled inactive. Compared with Monday, however, no quotable change took place in prices. At the close of business a fair clearance was effected. The supply of oats on sale was very moderate, and the trade ruled firm, with an upward tendency in prices. Beans, the supply of which was small, fully supported last Monday's currency. Peas were firm in price, and most descriptions met a steady sale. The show of samples on the stands was small. Most descriptions of flour changed hands to a moderate extent, at late rates. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was but mo derate. In most descriptions sales progressed slowly, at the rates current on Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at previous quotations. The market was seasonably well supplied with barley. Beth for grinding and distilling qualities the demand ruled far from active; nevertheless, previous quotations were aupported. Malt changed hands to a moderate extent, on former terms.

Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,500 Scots, short-horns, and crosses; from cther parts of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 970 Scots and crosses; and, from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was considerably in excess of Mon , day last, and its general quality was good. All breeds moved off slowly, at 2d to 4d per 81bs less money. A few very inferior Downs and half-breds sold at 5s 2d; but the general top figure was 5s per 81bs. Lambs—the supply of which was good—sold slowly on rather lower terms, viz., from 6s to 7s per 81be. We had a slow sale for calves at barely late rates. The supply was moderate. The pork trade was steady for the time of year, at full prices. There was an increased supply of foreign stook on offer in to• day's market. The quality of the beasts and calves was good; but the sheep came to hand in but middling condition. Sales progressed slowly, on lower terms. The arrivals of beasts, frosh up from our own grazing districts, were considerably on the increase, and mostly in prime condition. Our receipts from Scotland were large, viz., 311 from Aberdeen, 300 from Fifeshire, and 359 from East Lothian. This portion of the supply was remarkably prime. From Ireland, very few beasts came to hand. Although the attendance of buyers was numerous, the de mand for all breeds of beasts was heavy, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. The general top figure was 4s 8d per lbs. Per Blbs. to sink the offal. s. d. e. d. e, d. e.d Crse. &inf. beasts 3 2 3 6 Primecrs-wool d 0.4 6 4 10 Second quality do. 3 8 4 0 Pine.

The accounts from the plantations this morning are favourable. The recent easterly winds have had the effect of checking the too rapid growth of the bine, which, although it made but little progress last week, looks healthy, and is tolerably free from blight. The amount of business doing in our market is moderate; nevertheless, all good and fine hops command extreme rates. Inferior hops are obtainable at slightly reduced quotations.

The public Bales of colonial, which will be brought to a close this week, have gone off steadily since our last, at very full prices. Pcrt Philip wool is now ld to lid; Syd ney, Adelaide, and Cape, id to ld per lb dearer than at the olose of last series. Up to the present time, rather more than 90,000 bales have been disposed of, and of this quantity a considerable proportion has been taken by foreign buyers. In the English wool trade there is much less fine ness, owing to increased supplies having been forwarded to market, as well as to a disposition on the part of holders to realise. Prices, consequently, have fallen ld to 2d per lb for the late highest point.

Carden, Sir G. Moon, Phillips, and Lusk, and the Sheriffs. There are 83 prisoners for trial, but the greater portion of the charges are of the ordinary character. One of the gentlemen summoned on the grand jury objected to serve on the ground that he had conscientious objections to taking an oath. In reply to Sir R. Carden, the jurcr said he knew he could not claim exemption, but if excused he knew it would only be as a matter of iavour. Sir R. Carden asked what course he w ou ld p ursue supposin he should be obliged to bring an action against any one. The gentleman replied that he always settled any dispute of that nature without going to law. He should not take the oath under any consideration. Sir R. Carden observed that if he were a witness in a case of murder, he would be compelled to give his evidence, or else he would be committed. -- --- The gentleman said he had no desire to evade the per formance of his public duty, and he had on various occa sions been excused from taking the oath. Sir R. Carden said that if such claims as tho present were to be frequent great difficulty would arise. They were, however, very rare, and under the circumstances he would admit the excuse. Another juror was then sworn, and the grand jury com pleted. The Common Sergeant, in his charge, said he was happy to inform them that there were not more persons for trial than would have been expected, considering that the inter val of five weeks had elapsed since the last session. He was glad to be able to state that from having for the past few years watched the state of crime, this showed a very satisfact3ry state of things, and that, taking into considera tion the very great increase in the population, and a like increase in property, and the consequent increase in tempta tion, criminal offences did not increase in the like propor tion; indeed, as regarded juvenile offenders, the number during the last three or four years had decreased at least two thirds, which could be accounted for by the exertions which were being made by philanthropists in taking charge of aban doned children. He was sorry to see, however, that five of the charges involved the loss of life, and ono assumed the more serious charge of murder, and the other four for the milder offence of manslaughter; and he could not help noticing with regret, that this, as usual in most cases of violence that came before the Court, resulted from the effects of drink. With regard to the case of murder the prisoner and the deceased had had a quarrel in a public house, and deceased went up to the prisoner in a fighting attitude, but it did not appear whether or not he struck him. However, the prisoner, who had a knife in his hand, made a cut at deceased and stabbed him, and he died in three weeks after from the effects of the wound. If these facts were extenuated he thought it was prima facie murder, and it would be rather for the jury to consider more minutely whether there was anything to justify the charge being reduced to manslaugh ter. The Common Sergeant then alluded to the charges for manslaughter, amongst which was that of the woman lately residing in J ohnson -street, New Cut, remarking that all of them appeared to have been committed while the pas sions of the prisoners Were inflamed by drink. In conclu sion he alluded to the case of which a captain of a vessel was charged with embezzling LINO belonging to his em ployer. The prisoner, it appeared, received the money abroad and ought to have at once accounted for it, and remitted it to the owners of th e vess el. Instead of doing so, he came to England with the money which he deposited in different banks. The prosecutors hearing of the fact of his arrival in England caused him to be apprehended, and his statement was that be invested the money for security, while he foolishly went about to see his friends instead of going directly with it to his owners. The question for them would be whether or not the prisoner had any felonious in tent when he invested the money, or whether it w as, a s he s tated, a mere matter o f negligence. The Court then proce e d ed with the business o f t h e sess i on. William Heath, a resp ectable looking man, p l ea d e d gu il ty to a charge of embezzling money, the money of Mr. Ed • wards, the proprietor of the Building News. The prisoner had been ,in prison two weeks, and he appeared to believe OW 1 1 0 was only civilly liable to the prosecutor for the money. He was bound over in hie own recognisances to come up for judgment when called upon. A SCOTCH MINISTER ON CALVIN.--in the course of a sermon on Sunday af ternoon, in h i s own c huroh, a t Dundee, on the words—" Call no man father on the earth," Mr. George GiMilan alluded to the influence of Reformers. These had been, in his judgment, the most ill used of all men, inasmuch ea during their lifetime their bodies narrowly escaped feeding the flames, and after death their nearly suffocated with rancid incenses John the hero of th e p as t week, but it been was rather omin ous tha t his admirer s h a d selected for fame Calvin had had been anniversary not the date of his birth, July 10, 1509, but the dal e of his death, the 27th of May, 1564. Calvin, no doubt, was a great Man, and there was a great amount of truth in his system. But Calvin was not only not Christ, but he had less of Christ about him than almost any Christian divine be could name. He was harsh, nar • row, dogmatic, cold, cruel. The system of polity established while he lived in Geneva was worse than that which pre vailed in Naples under Bombe. It was a system of brutal cruelty. One James Griot, for writing some loose verses, was beheaded. Even little boys and girls wore liable to capital punishment for trivial offences. And need he name Servetus—a name which, despite the one-sided sophistry of like a re stedbloodyl, Calvin's defenders,-.lot on that Re former's brow. lie ventured to make an assertion—it might seem strange now, but there was a day coming when it would appear a mere truism—that Sh akespere whose ter centenary had been recently celebrated, was a better repre sentative of the Christian religion than o.l v ; -at. The one was a Jew of the stoniest type ; the other a Christian of the noblest grain. The one found evil in things good ; the other a soul of goodness M things evil. The one wrote in stitutes of theology in elegant Latin , which were read only by scholars; the other dramas in plain English which were read by the civilized world, and would be read after Cal vinism was, to say the least, no longer, as now, absurdly identified by many with Christianity. He spoke then of creeds, and expressed hie delight that Dr. Candlish had broken ground on that question by asserting that there were statements in the Confession of Faith opposed at once to 1 science and Scripture.—fitindee Advertiser. M. FIORENTINO'S DEATH is announced, he being a theatrical, or rather musical critic, whose name Was a subject of terror to all artists v ho had to make their bow before a Parisian audience. His talents were of the very highest order, but he was often swayed by considera tions to which he should have been inaczessible. His greatest achievement in a literary way was a translation of Dante, which is as good as the baldness of the French lan guege will admit of, It was published, with illustrations, by Gustavo Dore, and to some of your readers, at least, the book must he well known.

A HORSE KILLED BY BEES.--On Thursday even ing last a valuable mare belonging to Mr Richards, farmer, of Ladock, Cornwall, broke over a fence into a garden and upset a couple of beehives. A vast number of bees at once stuck to the aninvAl and stung her so severely that she died in a few hours, LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. HOUSE OF LORDS. (Before the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Wensleydale, Lord Chelmsford, and Lord Kingsdown.) YELVERTON V. LONGWORTH (OR YELVERTON). This appeal case was continued this morning. Long before the doors were opened a large crowd of persons had assembled, a large majority of them being ladies, who were actuated by curiosity, so that all the space Appropriated to strangers was very soon occupied. Several members of the Houee of Commons occupied seats in the gallery. The respondent was in one of the side seats with two other ladies, but, as she sat on a hassock, she could only be seen by a few persons. Mr. Rolf, Q.C., who on a previous day called attention to the position of the parties, and the manner i❑ which they became acquainted, together with a history of the various law proceedings which have taken place, proceeded this morning to read lengthened extracts from the evidence bear ing upon the case of the Hon. Major Yelverton, the appel lant, with a view to show that the lady had anted impro perly in her early connection with the appellant. Lord Chelmsford could hardly see how that evidence, supposing it were all true, affected the marriage. The Lord Chancellor concurred in the opinion that it was Useless to trouble heir lordships with such matters. Mr. Rolt could not argue that point at present, but thought it might be found to throw some light on subse quent stages of the matter. He would now proceed to ad vert to the correspondence which had passed between the parties, contending that, as the judgment of the court below, and which was against Major Yelverton, was founded upon that correspondence, it was of the greatest possible import ance to his client, and that must be his apology for intrud ing it upon their lordships at some length, Shortly after 12 o'clock it was evident that Mrs. Yel verton was becoming unwell, and she was removed from the house. In the course of a few minutes afterwards she made her appearance in the Reporter's Gallery, being escorted by one of her counsel, and accompanied by her two lady friends, The news soon spread, and several mem bers of the House of Commons came up to the side galleries to catch a glimpse of the lady who has attracted eo much notoriety. She is a person rather above the ordinary stature, of pleasing features, and very fair complexion. She wore a light silk dress and a light silk bonnet trimmed with velvet ribbon. Mr Rolt proceeded at great length to read extracts from the lady's letters, and said there were some passages which he would not read, but he would request their lordships to read them. Some of them were in Italian, and he agreed with the Lord Ordinary that it was almost impossible for the lady to have been acquainted with the nature of many of the expressions she used, some of those expressions being capable of bearing the most filthy interpretation. He pointed out other passages in English, in which the lady had expressed pity that persons about to contract marriage could not go on trial. Such remarks, he contended, were entirely inconsistent with all honourable courtship. The learned counsel was proceeding with his address when our report left. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A. RUFFIAN PROPERLY PUNISHED.—Fred. Compton, a powerfully-built young man, descried as a bill-poster, living at No. 1, Queen-street, St. James's, was charged before Mr Knox, with savagely assaulting a young woman named Elizabeth Thompson, The complainant, a young woman, said that on Sunday mornibg about four o'clock she was standing at her mother's door in Stacey-street, when the defendant came up to her in a menacing manner. Thinking he was going to strike her she said " Don't hit me." The defendant replied, "No I will not hit you, I will kick you," and then gave her a violent kick on the hand. She fell to the ground, and the prisoner then kicked her on the nose and also on her body. The complainant showed her hand to the magistrate, and there was a bad wound on it. Mr Knot asked the complainant whether she knew the defendant, and she said she had " kept company" with him. She had not seen him since the previous night, and she had given him no provocation whatever. The defendant had frequently beat her before, and once she charged him with using a poker to her. Defendant asked the complainant whether a man was not talking to her at the time, and she denied it, and said the defendant often followed her in the streets and threat ened to have her life. Mr. Knox inquired of the complainant whether the lived with the defendant, and she said she did not. Walter Sheppard, 55 F, deposed that on going to the place he foetid the complainant on the ground and the de fendant k'cking her. The defendant stated that the com plainant had been with another man. The defendant said that what the complainant had re ceived she wholesomely deserved. It was her own fault— she was in the habit of following him. Mr Knox said he did not care what the complainant had done. The defendant had no right to take the law into his own hands under any circumstances. If the complainant had annoyed him he could have had protection horn the Court, and certainly was not justified in kicking the com plainant in the abominable way he had done. He should commit the defendant for three months with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT ASSAULT BY A PRIVATE OF THE COLDSTREAM GuAuxts.—James Pastel], a private in the above regiment, was charged before Mr Selfe with the following assault : Henry Peckard, a waiter at Cremorne Gardens, stated that at about half-past 12 o'clock this morning he was going along Millbank, nearly opposite the barracks of the regiment, when he came up to the prisoner who was in the company of another private of the same regiment. Com plainant was in conversation with a friend, when as they were passing the prisoner he held up a cane he had in his hand. Neither he nor his friend said a word to the soldiers who followed complainant and his friend for about 60 yards. When the soldiers got up to them they were talk ing about the prisoner holding up his cane. They never said a word to the prisoner who gave him (com plainant) a severe blow with his fist on his cheek. The blow was so violent that it caused the blood to flow, and complainant was knocked down. Com plainant got up and asked him what that was for. He then received another severe blow on his cheek. Mr Selfe—Had you given him any provocation ? Complainant--None at all, sir. My friend was also struck by the prisoner, who was drunk. Prisoner said that he was struck by the complainant, Complainant denied that he assaulted the prisoner, and said that he felt great pain from the blow, and had his clothes saturated with blood. James Buxton, also a waiter at Cremorne, corroborated the evidence. Mr Selfe asked a corporal of the regiment, who came with the prisoner, what sort of character he bore. The corporal said he was an indifferent character, Prisoner was sent to prison for 14 days. THAMES. AN UNGRATEFUL SCOUNDREL, — John Allen, a Lanca shire man, aged 25, was brought before Mr. Partridge, on remand, charged with stealing a pair of cloth trousers, the prcTerty of John Vine, a seaman belonging to the schooner Raffle ad , in the London Dock. A few nit:hts since the prisoner fell in with the mate of the Railway, au ld said he came from Wigan, in Lanca shire, and was hare up. The mate treated him with a supper and grog, and told im if he would come :ck he would give him a the invitation, and on board the schooner in the L on d o n L,„ pair of shoes. The prisoner accepteu was hospitably treated in the forecastle ex the vessel. He received a pair of shoes from the mate, who sno w afterwards left the vessel and went on the quay to smoke 'te a p i p e ' The prisoner, taking advantage of the absence of the ere. w ' o p ened a seaman's chest and took out a pair of trousers, , which he put on over his own. He left the schooner and was hurrying towards the dock gate, when the prosecutor was informed that the prisoner had his trousers on, He pursued him, and after a long chase overtook him. The prisoner, on being captured, said, "Let me go; I'll pull off the trousers." Rainer, a Thames police constable, said the prisoner was a hammerman, and said he came from Wigan, in Lanca shire, and had been in London since Wednesday night. He had been unable to ascertain anything about the prisoner, Mr Partridge said the prisoner was a very ungrateful fellow, and sentenced him to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. A SLIGHT M ISTAKE,—A young woman cams before Mr Partridge and said she was married on Saturday morning in Bromley Church. Her husband's name and her own name were corefully written on paper, but the clergyman wbo officiated at the ceremony made a mistake in entering the nanie in the register-book. Her maiden name was Hamwersley. The parson entered the name as Hemmeisly. She put in her marriage certificate. Mr Partridge said he could not assist the applicant. The mistake of an E for the A would not affect the validity of the marriage, He advised the applicant to make a declara lion of the mistake, and he would sign it for her. DUNNING AND LORD MANSFIELD. -- Lord Mansfield once interrupted Dunning when plead ing before him with the exclamation, "You are quite mis taken, Dunning." Denning—"No, my lord, I am not." Lord M.—" Then I had better go home and burn all my law books,'' Dunning—" No, my lord, you had bettor go home and read them," JUSTICE TO THE CATHOLIC GAOL CHAPLAINS ! A return has been issued (says the Spectator)bhow inz that on the Ist January, 1861, there were in the Irish county and borough gaols 364 Established Church pri soners, with 39 Established Church chaplains receiving £1,607 a year amongst them; 122 Presbyterian prisoners, and 14 Presbyterian religious instructors receiving £5OB a year amongst them ; and 2,513 Roman Catholic prisoners, and only 39 Roman Catholic chaplains receiving £1,727 amongst them. And this is justice to Roman Catholics ! They do seven times the work of the Established Church for almost precisely the same pay. 44 7} 131 304 141 i 1114 O7f 8 54t 113/ 131 i soi i SPORTING NOTES, THE ASCOT MEETING. The glorious uncertainty of the turf was never min exemplified than it was yesterday at Paris. The great rao 3 seemed to be: reduced to a match between Blair Athol, th e Derby winner, and Fille de i'Air, the French and Engligh Oaks victrix, but suffered defeat from a stable companio3a of Bois•Roussel. The Ascot meeting commences to-morrow, and no doubt will be honoured with the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales. There are nine items set down fear decision on the first day. The Ascot Stakes has a miserable acceptance out of the 49 entered, only 17 having cried " Content." Baldwin, the top weight, is entirely out of the race. Canary and Thalestris are nicely in, and if Canary be tneant I cannot see how he can lose. Wandering 11.1instrel, Sheridan, Alabama, and Claxton will be found the best of the three-year-olds. I shall expect to see CANARY win, with Thalestris and ALABAMA as h's im• mediate followers. The Prince of Wales Stakes has both Blair Athol and Fills de l'Air engaged, with 91b penalty each, the former for winning the Derby and the latter the Oaks. Both are likely to be absentees. Scottish Chief has 51b penalty, which will just enable Knight of Snowdon to reverse the Epsom running. Lord Zetland will be his most dangerous opponent. Little Stag has only to face the starter to win the Gold Vase; but as he may be reserved for the Cup on Thursday, I shall couple Fairwater and Oldminster with him. The Queen's Stand Plate, T.Y.C., looks more like a handicap than a weight for age race, as the weights, after adding the penalties and deducting the allowances, stand as under : Age st lb Age st lb Umpire Bertha Lady Clifden .... 6 9 5 Victorious Castle Hill 3 9 1 La Mechante .... 2 6 12 Birchbroom Pearl Diver Soapstone Starbeam King John Rnyal Stag Woldga 4 8 5 j Sister to Tomato .. 2 6 9 The top-weighted Umpire won this race last year. The distance to be traversed is only five furlongs, and as weight makes very little difference over a short course, he may just pull through. Lady Clifden is by far the best of the old horses engaged, and if she comes to the post in anything like form she will have no difficulty in disposing of all who may oppose her. The only one likely to upset her ladyship's colours is LA BEARNAIS. The Tenth Ascot Biennial will be carried off by Blue Mantle or King of the Vale, and the Seventh Ascot Biennial by Gardevisure, unless she is reserved for the New Stakes. The Royal Hunt Cup is seldom won by the best horse. It is one of those races that depends more on a start than merit. There are several good horses amongst the entries, amongst whom are Trumps, Amelia, Muezzin, Humphrey, Caroline, and Finesse. If HumfintEr will only run up to his three-yr old form, when he beat as large fields as will contest this race, I should look no further for the winner ; failing him I shall trust to Amelia and Caroline. The Cup and the New Stakes I shall refer to on Wednesday. Lord St. Vincent no doubt will win the Cup, as he has two strings to his bow in Lord Clifden and Little Stag. A FRESH MAN. Doctors' Commons, All the houses in the Commons have a tumble down look, several were apparently uninhabited; the closed shutters blankly proclaiming " our doctor has departed." Indeed there were signs of emigra tion in several of the tenements, and Messrs Lo wndes and Co. (I think), though still abiding in the Com mons, have other offices in an adjoining lane. With out any spirit of prophecy we may say of these ancient haunts of the long-robed generation, "Ichabod," the glory is departed ; for in the next crop of railway bills who can doubt that there will be a scheme to break them all up, to facilitate a new plan of locomotion ? Emerging from the Commons and crossing the Jane, I stumbled on the Heralds' College, also a brick edifice, but rather fresher than the clump of time-browned dwellings we had just left ; yet it is probably quite as old. In appear ance it resembles a second-rate city ball, and has nothing notable about it, except a narrow enclosure on the right, the back wall being adorned with some heraldic devices, and the front surmounted by gilded turns or vases. Desiring a glance at the inner sanctum of the tabarded sages, I sought permission of the janitor, but was curtly told there was "no admission except on business." A few steps brought me to Harrow-court. Entering by a narrow, dark, dirty passage I found myself surrounded by a dismal square of tenements, tall and smoke blackened; a century since, doubtless, the resi dence of well-to-do Londoners, but now evidently a mere refuge for the destitute. The central open space was hung .with clotheslines, and wet garments in every variety, except that none of them were whole, but as they flapped to and fro raggedly eccentric, proclaimed the poverty and wretchedness of their wearers. A few half-clad women were bending over wash-tubs, and labour ing in the suds; while a few children, uncombed and shoeless, stared inquisitively in my face, and one bolder boy said, " Good morning, sir." From this area a view is commanded of some hundred feet of a grievously smoky atmosphere, for the cracked chimney-pots remorselessly belch out their contents and obscure the whole neighbourhood, already too dark.—City Press.

The annual sale of her Majesty's yearlings took place at the Royal Paddocks, Ilampton Court, on Saturday last. The weather was very fine, and the event brought together many noblemen and gentlemen, and an unusual number of turf habitués, including owners of horses, trainers, &c. As will be seen by the subjoined list of prices, the gross amount for the 24 Royal yearlings sold was 6,625 guineas, making an average of 276 guineas each—a larger sum than the produce of the stud has realised for many years. One filly was sold for the unprecedented sum of 1,250 guineas, but although she is a big one, the price was considered by most good judges to be in excess of her value. She is, however, got by the famous Stockwell, sire of Blair Athol, winner of the Derby, and unquestionably the most fashion.. able stallion of the day, added to which she traces her lineage through her dam (Bracey) to the famed Queen Mary, dam of Blink Bonny, and grandam of Blair Athol, &3., and will always keep the money together, if only fox: breeding purposes. After the sale of the Royal produce thirteen of Mr. Greville's yearlings were sold in the same paddock, and realised a total of 2,491 guineas, or an average of 190 guineas each.
