MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There has been but a limited demand for mone tary accommodation in the general discount market this morning, and as the supply of floating capital at the disposal of bankers and brokers is abundant, the mercantile community find little difficulty in negotiating there bills at greatly reduced prices. Some of the best paper has been turned into money at a 1 per cent. below the minimum of the Bank of England, while 31 per cent. is now the general quotation for three months' securities. The bullion operations at the Bank on Saturday comprised an influx of £lO,OOO in bar gold, and a 'withdrawal of 50,000 sovereigns. The Europa from Boston has arrived with £4,300. The directors of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, at their ensuing meeting, intend to pro pose a dividend for the half year of £3 per share, together with a bonus from the insurance fund of 30s. per share. Trade in the manufacturing districts during the past week has exhibited signs of increasing anima tion. It is true that not mach business was trans- acted in Manchester, but this circumstance was due to the fact that manufacturers refused to take orders unless at high prices. More activity was mani fested at Leeds, Leceister, and Halifax, and at Bir mingham and ShtfUd business was on the increase. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 15c. and 67f. 10c. Heavy and inanimate. Continued quietness and inactivity prevails in the market for English Funds, which nevertheless exhibit much buoyancy. Consols have not fluc tuated in the least since Saturday, the quotations still being 95 s for money, and 93fr I for the ac count. The Reduced Annuities and New Threes are MI 2 ; the Red Sea Telegraph, 21; Exchequer Bills, ls. die. to 2s. prem. ; Bank Stock is 236; the India 5 per Cent. Loan is 1001 I; and the 4 per Cent. ditto, 1001, In the Foreign Stock Market there is decidedly more buoyancy and animation. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 711 ; do., Consolides, 531 54k ; Mexican, 421 a ; Greek, 311 ; do., Coupons, 141 154 ; 5 ►apish Passive, 351 y ; do., Certificates, 131 e ; Russian, 921 931 ; Italian, 721 a ; Portu guese, 491 ; the New do., 11 I prem. ; and the Confederate Loan, 66 67. Business in the Railway Share Market has been very inactive, and prices have remained without marked variation. In some instances, however, rather more firmness has prevailed. Great Westerr, North Western, and South Eastern have each ad vanced 55., and Great Northern A Stock 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines are in limited favour at about previous quotations. Bank Shares nave been dull. Chartered of India, Australia, and China have improved to 39 40; London and County realise 531 ; India Land Mort gage Bank are quoted 3 to 32 prem.; Anglo- Austrian, par to prem.; Imperial Privileged Bank of Austria, I dis. to I prem. ; and East Lon don, 42/to 3 prem. In the Miscellaneous Market, International Financial shares have receded to 81 1; and Dis count Corporation are quoted 81 to 91 prem. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 236 3 Per Cent.

There was a moderate demand for most kinds of English wheat in the country markets held on Saturday, and no quotable change took place in prices. Malting barley, in some instances, commanded more attention, but other ar ticles moved off slowly, at late rates. Advices from New York state that the trade for wheat and flour was firm, but that the export inquiry was much restricted. In maize, an extensive business was doing, at enhanced currencies. On the Continent, the corn trade generally is flat. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of home-grown produce were very moderate. The arrivals from foreign ports amounted to 23,560 quarters of wheat, 15,061 barley, 49,880 oats, 1,780 beans, 1,037 peas, 300 tares, 5,595 lin seed, 9,657 oilseeds, 350 natuze, and 739 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate, For most qualities there was a fair demand, and a clearance was effected at the rates current on Monday last. The quality of the pro duce on offer was excellent, but the attendance of buyers was by no means numerous. The show of foreign wheat on the stands was large. In all descriptions sales pro gressed slowly, yet no quotable change took place in prices compared with this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at late rates. The supply of English barley on sale was very moderate; but the show of foreign qualities exhibited a slight increase. Malting q •alities changed hands somewhat more freely, at very full prices. Grinding and distilling parcels, however, were a dull inquiry, and the quotations were rather lower than on Monday last. The supply of new malt was very small ; but with old produce, the market was well supplied. The malt trade generally was dull, at about previous rates. The supply of foreign oats was very large. In the Eng lish, Scotch, and Irish produce the market was moderately supplied, The demand for all qualities ruled heavy, and, in some instances, prices further declined 6d per quarter. Good and fine samples, however, steadily supported previ ous rates. The supply of beans was tolerably large, and the trade for all qualities was in a sluggish state, at a decline in prices of 2s per guar ter from Monday last• No change took place in the value of peas; but the trade was far from active. The show of samples was small. The demand both for English and foreign flour ruled in active at late rates. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Bradbury and Cosh will offer at public sale about 1,200 packs of English as well as a few parcels of Irish produce. PRUSSIA, BERLIN, Oct. 22. The result of the primitive elections is by this time known to you, at least as far as the towns are concerned. The voters have been unusually numerous, and the triumph of the Liberal Constitution party is undoubted. The Govern ment may gain a few votes in the remote country districts, where it has the support of the feudal hobereaux, and is better able to make its influence felt than in the cities and towns, where even its own functionaries virtually defy the pressure it fain would exercise. But I think you may rest assured that the next Chamber will have a compact Libe ral opposition of 300 members, and that the remaining 52 will by no means be all constant supporters of the present Government. A small compact minority is all that has been ever hoped for by the most sanguine of the Ministerialists, and, were that obtained, M. von Bismark would, doubtless, present it exultingly to his So vereign, as a proof that the nation was recovering its sanity and as an earnest of better things to come. As it is, the r egisters a complet e t r i ump h , w hil e Opposition press already the Ministerialists speak with bated breath. As anticipated, it is the Fortschritt patty that will chiefly gain, but there is the less need to analyse the opposition, since we know that, on the two main questions—freedom of the press and the necessity of having the budget voted by the Chamber—all shades of the constitutional party are agreed. It is seen with deep displeasure, although not altogether with asto nishment, that the King does not think it unbecoming to endeavour personally to influence the elections. You were informed of his words to the Burgomaster of Brefeld with respect to M. von Sybel, and of the letter which he conde scended to write to the paltry village of Steingrund, by way of antidote to the reports that had been based on his interview with the King of the Belgians. There is a singu lar want of taste and tact in the persons who advise his Majesty in such matters. It was reported, quite falsely, as it happens, that certain words of King Leopold, at Baden, had produced a great effect, and that the Cabinet tottered. If it was deemed really necessary to dissipate the impres sion thus made, and which of itself would soon have died away, many ways might have been found of so doing, but certainly hardly a less appropriate or dignified ono than that of a letter from the Sovereign to the bumpkins of Stein grund. The system, however, is persevered in. The papers publish a telegram sent by the King to a M. von Jena- Rett lebeek, who had applied to his Majesty to know whether the Upper President at Potsdam, M. van Jagow, Coun cillor Breithaupt, of Berlin, and Major Blucher, would be agreeable to him as candidates. Tho King replied that they were so, and authorised the publication of that declaration. As regards the course the Government means to adopt towards the Chamber, various conjectures are made, but nothing certain is known, It is generally believed, and with good appearance of reason, that the session will be extremely short, but the best opinions are to the effect that the King will not sanction a coup d'etat. Ministers cannot expect to get any thing out of the next Chamber which was refused to them by the last. What the Chamber itself ought to do will strike most Englishmen who have fol lowed the Prussian question. It ought to make up its mind to speak very little, and to act sharply and decidedly. A leading member of the Opposition should at once move a strong vote of disapprobation of the ordinances of the Ist of June, declaring them illegal, and also a vote of censure on the Ministry. The Chamber should declare itself perma nently sitting until the committee had reported on the proposition, and returned it to the Plenum, which should then vote it at once. It is , to be feared there is not much chance of this step or any tantamount one being taken There are so many persons in the Prussian Chamber who will speak in season and out of season, and so the discussion is unreasonably prolonged on an important matter which in reality demands only prompt decision, and the Ministers get time to manoeuvre. Few words and speedy resolves are what are now wanted on the part of the representatives of the Prussian nation. The more they talk the more they risk weak ening the cause they uphold. There is believed to be no chance whatever of the King's seeing the error of his ways, although he will hardly be got to the point to which some around him would fain impel him. As to M. von Bismark, there is no doubt as to what he desires. He is here reported and is generally believed to have recently said that he hoped that in another year there would be no more constitution in Prussia. We are evidently making progress under the reign of the Prince who, not quite five years, declared that " Prussia must make moral conquests in Germany, by wise legislation at horns, by ele vating all moral elements, and seizing upon all elements of union." His Royal Highness the Prince Regent thus ad dressed his Council of Ministers on the Bth November, 1858 :—" A firm, consistent, and, if needful, energetic po litical conduct, coupled with prudence and circumspection, must procure to Prussia the political consideration and the power which she is not in a position to obtain through her own material strength alone. Poor, indeed, is the perform ance that has ensued upon those words of promise. Five years later we find the Prince who spoke them trusting solely to "material strength," not only against the possible a ggressions of foreign enemies or rivals, but against his own people and for his maintenance on the throne of his an :estors. The difficulty about the command of the execution corps to be furnished by Saxony and Hanover jointlyhaving been got over, as well as those „Ivhich Hanover raised with regard to the simultaneous movement of the Prussian reserve, the said execution should, in ordinary routine, take place towards the end of November, or, at latest, some time in December. This would only be the logical Consequence of what has taken place, and of the phasic in which the fair now finds itself. Nevertheless, politicians are evidently unable to Loring themselves to believe that the seemingly inevitable consequence will come and to pass. The re h ave b een so many slips between lip In thiS int erm i na b le Schleswig cup Holstein question, that one has great difficulty in crediting its approaching emergence from the intricacies of Dietal discussions and the trammels of diplomatic, notes. Mean while, one hears nothing more of the reported new consti tution for Denmark which was to destroy the importance of the patent of the 30th March. The Berlin papers are still full of the Leipale celebration, of the speeches made at the various ceremonies and dinners, of the enthusiasm excited by the appearance of the veterans, and of the satisfactory manner in which the whole affair went off. As an interesting festival, th e y may b e sa id to have reason for self-gratulation. The affair would probably have had more spirit, but for the wish to avoid making it a demonstration hostile to France. Thi s was perfectly sensible and proper, but it a little cramped the :eloquence the patriotic speechmakers. Some of th e song wr i ters , of persons of less mark B ed responsibility, f e lt th emse l ves l ess shackled, and one or two of their comporsitions reached my hands which might not give pleasure to the defeated of Leipsic or their countrymen, in the improbable case of the poetry, for the most part very indiff e r en t, ever reac hi ng their hands. The French would be exceedingly wrong, however, to take offence at the demonstration, which was got up in no spirit of animosity to them, but as a politico lib era l manifestation. It may, perhap s , a l so b e cons id ere d to embody the idea of resistance to foreign invasion, but certainly not in an offensive way to any Power: Never- , theless, it seems to have irritated the chauvinism of some of the French journals, and the Opinions Nationale plainly intimates surprise at eatee, t he Germans celebr a ti ng a b a ttl e in which they were although it certainly w as f o ll o wed b by the evacuation o f Germany by the French army. Whereupon a Frankfort paper remarks that it now per fectly comprehends how the Opinions _Nationale can urge France to go to war single•handed with Russia, since there can exist no possible risk for people who held Leipsic to have been a French victory. i f finrt THE QUEEN IN SCOTLAND.

SANDRINGHAI4I, Oct. 25. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the prince Christian of Denmark, and the attendants, went out shooting yesterday. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge left Sandringham yesterday morning for town, after paying a visit to the Prince and Princess of \Vales. Toe Duke of Cambridge was accompanied to the Wolferton station by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. PRINCE ALFRED.—His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, with Prince William of Hesse and their attendants, left Floors Castle on Friday afternoon. Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe accompanied their royal guests to the station, where they took an affec tionate leave of the youthful princes. The town was gaily decorated with a profusion of flags, and the square and streets were lined with a good number of spectators, who, as the aoble party moved slowly onward, greeted them with hearty demonstrations of welcome. The Royal party reached Edinburgh about six o'clock, and proceeded to Holyrood Palace. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Colonel Clifton, arrived in town on Saturday f ro m visiting their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales at Sandringham. The Duchess of Hamilton (nee Princess Marie of Baden) and Lady Mary Hamilton will shortly leave Hamil ton House, Ailington-street, for Brighton, where the duchess contemplates a protracted sojourn, having tasen a mansion there for several months. The Marchioness (Frances Anne) of Londonderry has been surrounded by a large family circle at Seaham Hall, Durham. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, the Earl and Countess Vane, the Earl and Countess of Portarlington, &c,, have been among the party assembled there. The Marchioness (Marie; of Ailesbury has arrived in town from visiting the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbnry at Savernake Park, near Marlborou - 4 1 . The Earl and Countess of Scarborough have left tieir country seat in Yorkshire for a lengthened tour in the east—their first destination being Alexandria. THE COLONIAL SECRETARY AT BERMUDA. —The Hon. M. G. Eleon, Provincial Secretary of Bermuda, accompanied by his estimable lady, arrived here (that is at Halifax, Nova Scotia, says the Evening Express of that place, under date Friday 9th October) yesterday from the adjoining Province of New Brunswick, where we learn they have been making an extended tour. We are pleased to hear that w herever the y visited they were most co rdiall y received, much as strangers alw ays are i n these P rov i nces . We have h pleasure as proof of this, in copying the follow ing from the aliramichi Gleaner of the 3d inst. :—" Last week we copied a brief paragraph from the Halifax Express which stated that the Hon. Mr. Keon, Provincial Secretary of Bermuda, and his lady, had left that city for Chatham, and that they purposed to visit the chief places on the North Shore. They arrived on Tuesday w ee k , an d up t o Thursday remained as guests with th e R ev. D r. R ogers , Bishop of Cha th a m. The we athe r being for several days exceedingly we t and disag reeable, thes e distinguished stra n g ers were here compelled to remain in -doors, and consequently deprived of the opportunity of visiting the settlements on the river, or of seeing the people. His lordship, to make some am ends for th is untoward circ umstance, and to enable his respected gues ts to become ac quainted with some of the leading inhabitants on the river, invited a large company of ladies and gentlemen to meet them on Monday evening laat, and a s his premises were too small to accommodate A th e ec Z Building, comfortably, he ent e rt a i ne d th em i n th e Academy u ilding, the numerous rooms of which were thrown open on the occasion. The supper table was laid out in the spacious school room. which was neatly fitted up for the occasion, with pictures, flags, and other decorations. The arrangement of the tables, and the tasteful manner in which they were set out, displayed much taste and artistic skill. The company numbered from seventy to eighty ladies and gentlemen—all of whom apparently spent a most agreeable and pleasant evening. At the supper table several personal and other toasts were given, among them —our beloved, respected, and honoured Sovereign, Queen Victoria; his Lordship, Dr. Rogers, Bishop of Chatham ; Hon. Mr. Leon and Lady ; Rev. Mr. Bacon ; the Volunteer Movement ; the Ladies ; and several others, all of which were responded to. It was a very agreeable re-union of persons from various sections of the river, com • prising all shades of opinion and of political oreed ; and it wa s pleasant to Fee bow they became cemented, and fused into a harmonious whole. No ripple appeared on the gene rally purturbed surface; not a harsh word uttered to mar the festive scene ; or a discordant note struck to jar on the most sensitive ear. In fact all proceeded as merry and as harmoniously as a marriage bell. A. short time after they rose from the su pp er table the com p a ny disper sed, p leased with s h gen tleman and his lady, togeth e r with a few other guests, par t oo k of a luncheon, and spent a most agreeable a t the hospitable mansion of Richard Hutchison, afternoon,e htostn, eve ning's entertainment.

The Council owe him no small thanks, for evidently he was with many the chief attraction of the meeting. At the eon versa:lord, where he goad-naturedly appeared in the High land dress, the Social Science ladies, this year more plenti ful than ever, swarmed round him, like bees round a honey jar. But indefatigable as was the Prince, the old President fairly beat him. He looked more infirm than last year, and —a confession of age which has never been extorted from him before—he condescended to read a great part of his inaugural address by proxy. But this was the only item in which he shirked. Day after day he was übiquitous — dining, discussing, complimenting everywhere. At the monster working-men's meeting ho was audible throughout the huge building, and almost eloquent, Once only he broke down.

AMERICA. REUTER'S UXYRESS. NEW YORK, OCT. 13. The steamships City of Baltimore, from Liver pool, and Columbia, from Galway, arrived here yesterday. Latest advices received in Washington from Chattanooga state ; " The rebels have removed their artillery from Lookout Mountain, where they had about ten pieces in position, and appear to have somewhat with drawn their forces. It is supposed they will concen trate their artillery on Mission Ridge. Some of the enemy's pieces are very heavy, and all seem to carry well. They hold both Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge, from which they threw shells on the 4th and sth inst. "We have several lines of intrenchments, and extensive earthworks are still going on. The plan of the enemy appears to be not to attack in front, hut to compel us to abandon Chattanooga by hold ing us in our present position with their army in our front, annoying us with their artillery, and breaking our lines of communication by cavalry raids in our rear. The last part of this programme is now being carried out by Wheeler's cavalry, which managed to cross the Tennessee at Cotton Port Ferry, near Nashville. After crossing, the main body moved in a northern direction. Part of the force fell in with the train of the 14th Army Corps in the Sesquatchy Valley, and destroyed ,between two and three hundred waggons, thirty of them being loaded with ammunition, and the remainder with clothing and supplies. Part of a Federal cavalry division, consisting of the 2d Indiana, Ist Wisconson, and Ist East Tennessee cavalry, then came up and attacked them. A running fight en sued, in which 120 rebels were killed and wounded, and about 60 of our men. On the 7th a general order was issued in accord ance with instructions from the War Department consolidating the 20th and 21st corps into the 4th, and ordering their commanders, Generals M'Cook and Crittenden, before a court of inquiry at In- dianapolis. General Rosencranz officially denies having brought any charges against General Milroy and Crittenden. With the assistance of reinforcements already ar rived, movements will soon be made to drive the enemy from our front. The army is well sup plied with everything but clothing and blankets, the want of which causes considerable suffering. All the wounded capable of being moved have been sent north. Our casualties in the late battles will not be less than 15,000. Wheeler's cavalry was attacked by Colonel Crook on Wednesday, and defeated with a loss of 150 killed and wounded, 300 prisoners, and three pieces of artillery. la a subsequent fight near Fayetteville they lost 300 more prisoners. At last accounts they were retreating to the interior, pursued by Federal cavalry. Roddy, with 100 rebel cavalry, has crossed the Tennessee. He passed through Larkinville on Thursday, going in the direction of Winchester. There seems to be good reason for believing that the rebels were fighting among themselves last Monday, 600 or 600 being killed or wounded. De serters differed in their statements as to the cause and force engaged. One version is that some Georgia troops refused to cross the Chickamauga, and that Withers' division was sent to compel thew. Another story represents that Tennessee troops refused to obey orders, and Longstreet's forces were sent against them. A line of battle and the flash of guns could be distinctly seen from the mountain tops. This occurred on Mon day, at the time of their cannonading, from which it was concluded that this was the nature of their trouble. A despatch from Knoxville, dated Oct. 11th, states that General Burnside advanced along the line of the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, on Thursday and Friday. He overtook a rebel force under Jackson and Williams, on Sa turday, at Blue Springs. A skirmish took place. The rebel firing was sharp and de structive. They were, however, driven from the field at sundown. Darkness prevented pursuit. The rebel force, estimated at 6,000, retreated on the Gr.eeville road. Despatches from Washington state that on Satur. day a force of Kilpatrick's cavalry attempted a re connaisoance on the south bank of the Rapidan. They were attacked by a large force of rebel cavalry and artilleu under Stuart. A brisk fight ensued, lasting an hour, when our cavalry fell back upon their iofantry supports, near James City. Here another fight took place, in which the Union forces were worsted and compelled to retreat. The rebels captured IGO of the 120th New York re giment. The Federt.:l cavalry then charged on the rebels, retaking neaf•ly all tke prisoners. Rebel reinforcements coming lir/ our forces were pushed back to Culpepper. our forces have eva- Later intelligence says cuated Culpepper. Such stores as could not be removed, were burned. It is reported that the whole rebel army is over tb.e Rapidan, and that General Meade has fallen back to the north bank of the Rappahannock. It is said that Longstreet's corps has returned from the Southwick. The rebels began to cross the Rapidan on T.hursday, moving Court House, evitlently trying to towards l‘la dison turn N.eade's flank. It is repot' ed that rebel cava lry hol d the gaps in the Bull Min Mountain. Heavy cavalry reinforcements have cone to the front. It is asserted that a large cavalry form.' has been sent to dislodge them from the mountains,a nd that General Meade is amply prepared for any atx ack. Extravagant rumours are afloat in Washin,3ton of reverses to Meade, but no apprehension is . c eit i n military circles. Latest advices from New Orions confirm the re ports of the fight at Morganza, or Morgan's Bend. It appears that General Dana advanced inland some nine miles from the Bend when he came upon a large force of the rebels. The fight which ensued resulted in the defeat of the Federal forces, with a loss variously estimated at from 400 to 1,000 killed, wounded, and missing. The advance of General Franklin's Texas expe dition reached Franklin, La., on the Ist of October, and it was supposed that the main body would con centrate there before moving further. The Con federate forces are retreating intact before Franklin. The New Orleans correspondent of the New York World writes as follows of the situation in that department : "From Ship Island in the Gulf to the head waters of the Missouri; al on g the Ohio, e Red, White, and Arka nsas rivers, theuni I' m: deral armies are scattered, guarding brilliant raids,' por t a nt points and making ue nce, par which are of no military conseq suing the enemy thro u g h the w elds of Arkansas , o r the fastnesses the swamps of Weste rn Louieianay of the Cumberland mountains.

SPORTING NOTES-, The Newmarket Houghton Meeting, whi c h finishes the racing on the Heath for the present year, co mmences to day. The all-important event to be decided is the Cam bridgeshire. Several of the horses engaged have been very steady in the market during the last few days, m ore eve.. cially Limosina, Catch'em Alive, and Carniv a l, while others have fluctuated considerably. A great number o f horses having appeared in the quotations at various tim es , no doubt there will be a very large field. Prior, however, to considering it at full length, I would fain revert to the ungenerous and unjust remarks which have been mado against the owner of Lioness and his respectable trainer, in reference to the Cesarewitch. If there is one single stable that commands more than another the confidence of the racing world, it is that of Mr. Merry, who runs his horses in the good old-fashioned style practised by Lord Derby, Lord Glasgow, Lord Portsmouth, and General Peal. Rarely, if ever, are complaints made about his being fore stalled in the market, nor is a jockey with a doubtful re putation ever permitted to ride his horses. Of their train ing it is needless to say one word, for the Calendar at the close of every season is the finest advertisement that Mr, Dawson can require. To accuse him and his employer of having pulled the strings, and run the mare when unfit, to blind the handicapper, is unfair in the extreme ; because it was notorious in the district in which she was prepared that she had been lame "all round" in the early part of the season, and, moreover, had been fired, the marks of which will never be obliterated. It was, therefore, a question whether she might not have broken down in the races in which she ran at Reading and York. So that, if by superior treatment, Mat Dawson was enabled to get her right, the circumstance was the more creditable to him, and takes off any blame that might be attached to the handi capper, who ought not to be mortified at the success of any animal. The field for the Cambridgeshire will be selected from thq following : __ Yrs at lb Carnival .. 3 8 8 .... Challoner Carisbrook 4 8 1 .... Boyco Exchequer .. 4 7 12 .... J.

Prior Fanfaron Grand Dame Muezzin Merry Hart Summerside Carnival, after his defeat of Clarissimus, has been backed for large sums, as little as 11 and 10 to 1 being taken about him. There can be no question that he is one of the best, if not the best, horse of his year. But it would be too much to expect him to win with such a steadying weight as Bst 81b, although Saunterer ran third to Odd Trick with Sat 121 b. Carisbrook, if in anything like the form he showed last year at Ascot, when he won the Prince of W a l es S ta kes and the Fourth Biennial Stakes, ought to run well, as the hill will just suit him. (lemma came with a rush into the market last week, which caused Limosina to de cline a point or two, bat the demonstration was short lived, as he has again been sent to the outside division. E x _ chequer is very leniently treated, and ought not to disgrace himself. Bathilde won her trial on Saturday by ten l e ngths, but she has become a worse favourite ever since. She meets Limosina at a difference of 7lbs from what they carried last year, which should bring them close together. Bellman, Birdhill, Blue INlantle, and Tom Fool may help to swell the field, but that will be all, unless it be Blue Mantle, who has a fine turn of speed, but is very uncer tain to trust. Limosina last year ran second for this race. She was backed for heaps of money for the Cesarewitch, but ~suffered defeat by Li oness . Th e runn i ng of the l atter since at Kelso adds considerably to her pretensions for this race, and Lord Stamford has every prospect of landing the good thing that he has been so patiently waiting for. Jack of Hearts is held safe by Limosina. Tolurno lacks quality for a race of this description, and Borealis is too small, although she is well in. Blondin has a fair chance from the very forward position he held in the Cesarewitch up to the bushes. Catch'em-Alive has been supported for more genuine money than any other horse ; and as William Day seldom makes a mistake in a large handicap, I would strongly ad vise an investment to be made on him. The only others that may trouble the judge are Despair and Summerside, the former from his light weight, and the latter from the forward he maintained in the Cesarewitch for the last mile I and a half.

There was a full average time of year supply of foreign beasts on offer in our market to-day. The show of foreign sheep was good, both as to number and quality. The number of calves was by no means extensive. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis- Wets were seasonably extensive, but their general quality was very middling. Prime breeds commanded a steady sale, at fully last Monday's currencies, the top figures being 58. per 81b. Second qualities of beef were steady, and quite as dear as last week; but inferior kinds were much neglected. In prices, however, no quotable change took place. From Lincolnshire. Leicestershire, and Northampton shit e, we received 2,260 short horns, &c., from other parts of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 25 Scots; and from Ireland, 670 oxen and heifers. We were again fairly supplied with sheep, the general quality of which was good. The beat Downs and half breeds moved off slowly, and, in some few instances, prices advanced 2d. per 81b., otherwise the mutton trade was firm, at full currencies. A few superior Downs realised 58. 8d per 8:b. Calves moved off slowly, and Thursday's advance in prices was not supported. The highest quotation was 4s. 6d. per 81b.
