NONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK ADVANCE IN THE BANK MINIMUM. The directors of the Bank of England have just surprised the monetary and the commercial public by advancing their minimum rate of discount from 3 to 31- per sent. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon, a slight advance took place in the rates on Paris. The bar silver by the steamer La Plata has been sold at ss. lfd. per oz. standard, being ls. 4d. above the price realised for the previous supply. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £404,000, and the exports to .£686,000. Two o'CLocic Following the movement in the rate of discount the joint stock banks have increased their rate of interest on deposits to 2,1 per cent. Messrs. Du rand, Gurney, and Co., Messrs. Alexander and Co., the General Discount Co., &0., have raised their terms to 2* per cent. for money at call, and to 2f per cent., with seven days' notice. The alteration in the Bank rate has created some commotion in the general discount market, and 3f per cent. has been asked for first-class bills. The market for the English Funds has been a little flatter, speculative sales having led to a de cline of per cent. Consols have been dealt in at 93k for transfer, and 911 92, less the dividend, for the account, but they are now firmer, viz., 931 and 921 respectively. The New Threes, Reduced Annuities, Bank Stock, India 5 per Cents., and do. Debentures, were without alteration, while the Bonds improved to 17s. and 20s. prem.; but Exche quer Bills receded to 4s. dis. Considerable fluctuation has occurred in the Foreign Market to-day, and business is active. The Confederate Loan has been the chief feature, owing to the news from New York of the defeat of the Federals under General Hooker; it closed last night at par, and rose this morning to 11 prem., and is now par to 1 prem.

Business in the Railway Share Market has been moderately active ; prices, however, have shown a downward movement, consequent upon the advance in the rate of discount at the Bank of England.

A large quantity of sand, seed, and other worthless matter is often found to be mixed up with bales of cotton, which now that the price is 18d. per lb. is a very serious loss to the pur chaser. Sometimes the loss from this cause ranges from 16 to 40 per cent. The brokers at Liverpool, conscious of this fact, have tried to protect themselves by affixing to each bale a label with the words " no allowance after passing the scales." As it is impossible for the buyers to know what 18 in the bale till it comes to be opened at the mill, they are proposing to hold a meeting on the question next Tuesday at the Clarence Hotel, Manchester, to consider if some telmi cannot be taken to protect them from Kick Kds. ditt 1. Tfl , LAW INT: .This Day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr and a Jury.) ssirsoN V. BITNYARD-PHYS I CIANS' FEES-SINGULAIt CASE. This was an action to recover a sum of 50s. for visits and medicine, plaintiff being represented by Mr. Clarke, of Paddington•green. Mr. Clarke briefly stated that plaintiff was a gentleman of position, and he had attended a very bad case at defen dant's request. His Honour—l sent this case to a jury for these very simple reasons : The defendant is a working man, earning 20s. or 245. a week. Now, 1 find in plaintiff's bill seven visits in one week, and thus the defendant is charged 21s. I ask the jury if such charges are reasonable to a person in defendant's position. Mr. Clarke—lt was a very bad case. His Honour—Then defendant should have gone to the dispensary, Has the College of Physicians passed a bye law yet ? Mr. Clarke--Oh, yes; and besides there is the recent case of Gibbons and Burton, which has been decided in favour of the medical interest. His Honour—l can see the hardship of the case upon your client, Mr. Clarke; but you must admit that what would be reasonable in another case can hardly be applied to the case of a working man with 20s. per week. Defendant—l told the plaintiff that I would not be an swerable for more than 305., and I do not mind paying that. Mr. Clarke—lf plaintiff had not gone every day he would have been censured for the omission. It was a case of fever. Defendant--It was not a serious case. Mr. Clarke—l will take a verdict for 30s. Jury—We quite agree with all that has fallen from his Honour. His Honour—l feel that this is a case in which it would have been for the jury to say what was fair and reasonable, but as it is, the verdict will go for plaintiff fur 30s. Verdict for plaintiff.

I consider Lord Clifden, Macaroni, Ring of the Vale, The Gillie, and Tom Fool, will comprise the first flight at the finish of the contest, and it only remains to choose be tween the best public form of last year—Lord Clifdon—and the best this—Macaroni;—and, in giving my oasting vote, it must be for MACARONI, because Lord St. Vincent, with plenty of tackle to try his horse, has not thought proper to do so.

CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.-Mr. John Wakeling, landlord of the One Tun public-house, Arundel court, Haymarket, appeared before Mr. Knox to answer the complaint of Inspector John Wilson, of having wilfully and knowingly permitted drunkenness and other disorderly conduct in his house. The case was proved by Inspector John Silverton, who visited the defendant's house at 5 o'clock in the morning, and saw seven or eight drunken persons present, and one of them, on leaving the house, behaved in a most turbulent manner. Mr. Knox asked the inspector whether defendant had been previously convicted, and was answered in the ne gative. The defendant was then fined 20s. and costs. WESTMINSTER. BURGLARY BY A PREVIOUS SERVANT.—John Jones, a young man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with burglarously breaking and entering the dwell ing -house of Mr. Cox, 34, Raphael-street, Knightsbridge, and stealing therein a watch and chain and a quantity of clothing. Benjamin Brownjohn, who lodges at the house in question, stated that on last Saturday night he went to bed at between 11 and 12 o'clock, and placed his watch and chain on the drawers in his loom. On awaking in the morning he found it gene, as also his coat, waistcoat, and some other articles of wearing apparel were gone, and also his purse, contain ing a small sum of money. A boy slept in the same room as the prosecutor, but the things had all been taken with out either of them being aware of it. Mr. Arnold asked how the prisoner had obtained access to the premises. Charles Smith, a letective officer, 131 B, said prisoner had been formerly in Mr. Cox's service, and therefore was inti mately acquainted with the locality of the premises. He had recently absconded from his employment, and there were charges which might be made against him. He obtained access to the premises by the grating of the cellar, through which the shutters are passed up, and which was left unfastened. In order to prevent any sound escaping a piece of handkerchief was found closed in with the iron work. On receiving information of the robbery, witness felt satisfied that it had been committed by the prisoner, and went in search of him. He found him last night in the Brompton-road, and took him into custody, when he denied that he was the person wanted, and that he had ever been in Mr. Cox's employment Witness then took him to the station, and on searching him found a duplicate relating to part of the stolen property. A pawnbroker prodaced the coat and waistcoat, and identified the prisoner as the person pawning it. Mr. Cox said that prisoner left home on the 4th. The area grating was unfastened. Prisoner, who said nothing in answer to the charge, was remanded. THAMES. VERY DRUNK AND VERY DISORDERLY.—John Cortin and Timothy Murphy, Irish labourers, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with being drunk, disorderly, and assaulting several omnibus conductors. It appeared from the evidence of two police-constables of the K division, named Knowles and Jackson, that last night about half-past eleven o'clock they saw the prisoners roll out of a public-house in the Commercial-road and hail an omnibus that was passing. Both prisoners were intoxi cated, and the conductor of the omnibus refused to carry them. They got upon the omnibus, and were pulled down again. The prisoners said they had money, and would ride to Blackwell. They made use of very foul language, abused the conductor, and threw him to the ground. The passengers inside and outside the omnibus insisted on the driver and conductor of the omnibus not receiving the prisoners, and they abused the passengers, applied the vilest epithets to wards them, and caused a mob of disorderly persons to assemble. The omnibus at last proceeded on its journey, and the prisoners were removed. About a quarter of an hour afterwards another omnibus on its way to Blackwell arrived opposite the George Tavern, and the prisoners bailed the driver to stop, and attempted to get inside the vehicle. The conductor would not allow them to ride, and they repeated their misconduct and dragged the conductor from the monkey board behind the omnibus. The prisoners roared, swore and blasphemed most awfully, and said they were ready to pay for a ride to Blackwell, and would have one. The prisoners were removed a second time. A third omnibus arrived after the lapse of 15 minutes, and another row took place to the great annoyance of the passengers. The omnibus was detained some time, the conductor was ill-used, the prisoners seated themselves inside the vehicle and were ejected, they threatened and abused driver, conductor, and passengers, and, refusing to walk home, were taken into custody. Charles Roberta, an omnibus conductor, gays evidence in confirmation. The prisoners said they had not taken half a glass of in toxicating drinks since the 16th of January last, and denied all that was alleged against them. Mr. Partridge said the case was clearly made out. The police had shown wonderful forbearance, and the conductors of the omnibuses had dame quite right in not allowing drunken men to enter public vehicles. Re fined the pri soners 40s. each, and, in default of payment, 21 days' im prisonment. CIVIL SER VICE. — Foreign-office. —Mr V. A. W. Drummond and Mr G.

Ere the last horse has crossed the road, Lord Clifden's " bolt is shot !" The "primrose and the orimson" show still proudly to the fore, And Sacclia °meter holds out, although his chance is o'er; For speed to mount the fatal hill Lord Strathmore's colt will lack-- Outpaced he is, but all may see the bottom of the Sack. " The Ranger!" " Tambour !" " Gillie !"—these names the Ring repeat-- The wild excitement of the scene has reached its fever heat; But calm and still sits Challoner, till just below the Stand, lie marks the Gtltie' s " chocolate" die out at his right hand; The Ranger too's beyond his range, the Tambour feels the pace, The rival rings but struggle on to gain, perhaps, a place. Between those dark but living lines, that sea of faces keen, Beneath the glance of Beauty's eye, those deafening shouts between, He shoots like lightning to the front, and ere the set of sun A thousand flashing wires have told that MACARONI won I JOHN DAVIS. The "road" is gained—and thundering past the Stand, Come "Mac," and "Sac," with Clifden " well in hand," Gillis and Ranger in the strife compound, And Tom Fool's backers greater fools are found, Fantastic at the distance shuts up shop ; And Hospodar and Lamb's Blue Mantle stop. The shouts are fearful, for the struggle's close; And no one knows how strong he'll get the dose. " Sao" now beats " Mac"—but spite of private spins, The best since West Australian, CLIFDEN wins I ALADDIN. LORD CLIrDEN with favour we've always regarded, His goodness and stoutness we still must assert; And his colours untarnished, by victory guarded, Whether beaten or not, we will never desert I THE TWOPENNY WARBLER. To finish my ditty, I think that alone, I Shall "nail" my allegiance on sweet MACARONI; And if any outsider should show in the race, Fantastic, I fancy, is good for a place! TROUBADOUR. LORD CLIFDEN will be NO. 1, Lord Strathmore's colt the second; And if I place Fantastic next, You'll find I've rightly reckoned 1 A PROPHETTC VISION. I see a vaEt and motley crew, As e'er together came; The sea of hats which meets my view Doth " Derby Day" proclaim. Then comes the final shout and whoop I 'Tis done I The winner's in! BLUE MANTLE, with his azure hoop— I thought that he would win ! (From Bell's Life.) As regards our verdict for the race, we approach the record of it with a great deal of hesitation, because we have not seen the crack since September, and are obliged to take on credit our particulars;of him. But the Flying Dutchman was in the same category, and yet was successful. Consi dering, therefore, under what trying circumstances Lord Clifden has kept his place in the market,we are of opinion we shall not err in giving credence to the ability of the trainer and the honesty and talent of the jockey of LORD CLIYDEN, by anticipating our being able to chronicle him the winner of the Derby on Wednesday. ORANGE BLOSSOM. Now, Naylor, rejoice, for alone ye M victor I'm able to hail, - As, passing the stand, Macaroni Disposes of King of the Vale, And wins—no I however abhorrent, Newmarket must hedge to her boast, For, brought with a rush like a torrent, SACC HAROMETER wins on the post! MANHATTAN. But hold, enough I—if public form Of winning be the test, At once with me you'll all agree LORD CLIFDEN is the best. If fate should please Lord Clifden's Success to overrule, I think the Derby winner Will prove to be Tom Fool, SOMNAMBULUM. Half-distance Is now passe6, and at full speed the jockeys ride, Lord Clifden, Saccharometcr, and Gillie side by side. Brave Gillie's second by a neck—a glorious sight to see— LORD CLIFDEN wins the Derby Stakes in Eighteen-sixty. three. (From the Era.) TOUCHSTONE. To sum up, we like the chances of Ghillie, Hospodar, King of the Vale, Lord Clifden, Saccharomiter, Ranger, and Maccaroni best, and shall take the liberty of placing the first three thus :—SACCIIAROMETIM, 1; Lord Clifden, 2 ; King of the Vale, 3, THE STABLE MOUSE. Here is my return :—Tom FOOL, 1; The Gillie, 2; Lord Clifden, 3. MUOGINS'S DOG. My tip is :—KING OV THE WILE, 1 ; To Fool, 2; Ranger, 3. (From the Field.) OBSERVER. I am induced to believe that the Two Thousand Guineas winner is destined to preserve his pride of place, and that in MACARONI, your readers will discover the winner of the Derby. Next to him I fancy will be discovered Lord Clifden and (Ellie. (From the Sunday Times.) VATICINATOR. some temerity to leave out from It argues, we admit, one's calculation two prominent favourites like Lord Clifden and Maccaroni, but we must take our chance, and place the first three thus :—SACCILAROMETER, 1 ; The Gillie, 2 ; King of the Vale, 3. In arriving at this conclusion, we must confess to having been much perplexed by the con flicting claims of Lord Strathmore's horse and the Wood yeate's representative. Should an outsider accomplish the feat, there is none more likely, in our opinion, than Sea mander, who is reported to have been favourably tried with Fairwater. (From the Weekly Times.) FLY-BY-NIGHT. So many chops and changes have occurred in the betting on the Derby within the last eight and forty hours that I find it absolutely necessary to materially alter my selection for that race. The backsliding of the Ranger, National Guard, and Donnybrook is confirmatory of my opinion concerning them, but I was hardly prepared for such a demonstration in favour of the Frenchman. The ground work thereof is a reported wonderful trial with Haddington and Stradella, and if there is any truth in it the horse must be very dangerous, but this stable is far too critical to trust. Lord Clifden was very t, ttery this afternoon at Harpenden, and certain stentorial lungs offered 6 to 1 freely again him, and I much expect twice that figure will be presently his quoted price. Baron Rothschild's colt, on the other hand, showed every symptom of rising in public estima tion. After well weighing all these phases of the drama, I must register my final vote as follows :—KING or TYE VALE, 1; Macaroni, 2. (From the Sporting Life.) Auauli. The fruits of my reasoning are distinct biases in favour of Tom Fool, Hospodar, Lord Clifden, and King of the Vale, one of whom, according to my judgment, will win. Of this quartette the most dangerous ones appear, to my thinking, HOSPODAR and LORD CLIFAEN, next to whom I expect to see Tom Fool and King of the Vale. PINDAR. Go, Guzzle, hide thy wither'd head In some outlandish bower; For our bleak Surrey gales, methinks, Won't suit the gilly Flower ! But for thee, SACCHAROMETER, The prize does Fortune destine ; And, Hayhoe, thou, with Ring of the bat, Art deemed the second best in! A DERBY ENIGMA. My first as prince 'tween Turk and Russian rules; " More know" my second "than" my second " knows;" My third's well versed in " couchant," " rampant,' " gales ;" Who backs all three may pay off all he owes. (From the Illustrated Sporting News.) Our impression is that King of the Vale, Macaroni, The Gillie, Lord Clifden, Tho Ranger, and Tom Fool, will beat the field, and that it will be a race between KING OP THp VALE and THE GILLIE for first place, and we are int:lino:l to give priority to Baron Rothschild's horse.

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting of the National Rifle Asso ciation was held yesterday at Wiltie's Rooms; Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge in the chair. Amongst those present were Lord Longford, Lord Whorneliffe, Lord West, Lord Herding°, Earl Tankerville, Lord Talbot de Malahide, Lord Spen cer, Earl Ducie, Lord Truro, the Hon. Mr. Lindsay, Sir T. F. Buxton, M.P.,Capt. Ross, Capt. Mildmay, Capt. Templar, Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., Sir R. Hamilton, Mr. John 11I'Gregor, General Boileau, Col. Bigge, Sir John Burgoyne, Cot. Kennedy, Col tSteele, Hon.M r. C. .o u field, Lindsay, ind y ll. , e . u , North, llrar d M e PL. Lieut.- Col. Loyd Lindsay, Col. Clark Kennedy, the Hon. Col. Cust, Hon. Col. Charteris, Sir P. Do Grey Egerton, Capts, Macgregor, Page, and G. St. John Mildmay. His ROYAL HIGHNESS said-1 need not detain you long, as, since the meeting which was held re cently, nothing of any importance has occurred. I have to state that the arrange - image have been made for the rifle meeting at Wimbledon on the 7th July. The balance in favour of the association amounts to 13,613, which includes the Ladies' Prize of I:410. I have further to inform you that the mimes of the ladk , s forming the committca will he published im mediately ; and I have further to state that the sub scriptions have not increased to the ext ent the council had hoped. lam afraid I have alluded on various occasions to this subject, and I am almost ashamed to advert to it again ; but I may be per mitted to observe that the annual subscriptions are most essential to any body conducting its operations from year to year, and unless those subscriptions are very considerable it, is most difficult for the council to know what arrangements it can properly make.: Therefore I notice the fact once again, that the annual subscriptions are not so great as we could wish. I hope the council have met the feel ing of the volunteers in the, country, as we all know there was a strong feeling that the arm in use by the volunteers should be brought more for ward, and arrangements had been made with that view. They thought it would be of great advan tage to carry out that view as far as possible, and am happy to say that the committee have met the case by establishing prizes for the next competition, which I hope will effect the object we all have in view. I allude more particularly to the 60 new prizes for all comers, rank and file, using the Go vernment rifle. The winners of the 60 prizes will also be entitled to compete for the Alexandra prize of £6O value, to be given in honour of the Princess Alexandra. The House of Lords prize amounts to £l7O, and will be competed for by enrolled volun teers with any rifle of bona fide government pat tern carrying .577 bore diameter. As I have already said, our neat rifle association meeting takes place on the 7th July ; and as we have hitherto found the review very successful we shall have one this year, and it will take place on the 18th July. The en tries. for the Queen's price already amount to 970, and it is hoped that before the day of the competi tion the number will be increased. Tents will be erected as usual, and there will be two officers or four men in a tent. Already 40 officers and 100 men have sent in applications for tent accommoda tion; and members of the association desiring to have tents of their own can do so on application, The general rules have been amended, and are sub mitted to the meeting, together with the bye laws and the programme, which I think is more attrac tive than it has hitherto been. The arrangements are made with a view to enable volunteers to com pete with their own arms, and in that respect no doubt they will give general satisfaction. COI. BIGGE moved that the rules, as amended, be adopted ; and Sir R. HAMILTON seconded. Captain TEMPLAR called the attention of the council to the desirability of trying the experiment of handicapping the different rifles, and of offering prizes to be contested for with the long Enfield, at 800 or 1,000 yards. He believed that some excel lent practice would be made with that weapon. The Earl of DuclE said the council had considered the question, and, acting on General Hay's opinion, did not propose to go beyond the 600 yards' range. General BOILEAU suggested that prizes should be offered, to be competed for with the various kinds of rifles. Mr. M'GREGOR thought it desirable that all should compete with rifles of the same make, and not that one man should use his rack rifle and another should compete with him with one of a different and superior make. To avoid this it was desirable that the prizes should be offered to be competed for with the various kinds of rifles. At present many were excluded because they did not use the weapons to which they were accustomed. This was the case with the Inns of Court, who had the s•groove rifle, and the artillery, who had the carbine. He concluded by moving a resolution to carry out his views, but it did not find a seconder. Colonel LINDSAY said that the 5-groove rifles were excluded on account of H.° advantage they gave, and the competition was restricted to the rifles of the Government pattern as served out to the volunteers. In reply to Lord Truro, His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE and the Hon. A. KINNAIRD, M.P., stated that the association was not entirely self-supporting. Colonel CoLEs moved that the 60 prizes for all corners (No. 3 in the bye laws) should be restricted to long and short Infields. Major PIPON seconded the resolution. Captain TEMPLAR suggested that the entrance money for the competition for the 60 prizes, namely, LI, was too high, and excluded many volunteers from it, and again urged his views in favour of long ranges. Lord TRURO expressed his entire disapproval of the long ranges being introduced. The amendment was negatived. Some other suggestions were then made as to off:ring a prize forshooting at unmeasured distances, when Lord WuARNCLIFFE said the great difficulty they all felt, and which gave rise to differences of opinion, was occasioned through the Government serving out different kinds of rifles. He thought the council would do well if it endeavoured to in. duce the Secretary of State for IVar to issue onl y one kind of rifle to the volunteers. The amended rules were adopted, all (1 a vote thanks to the chairman closed the p r oceedings. Of IRELAND, DUBLIN May 15. TRALE E ELECTIO NS.
