ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The general discount market this morning appears rather firm, possibly under the influence of a fair demand for money, which has been exp, rienced this morning. The uncertainty of the future pros pects of the money market is shown by brokers Who still enforce 31 per cent. for the best three months' bills. The Canada from America has brought 16,086. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week are generally of a satisfactory charac ter. At Manchester prices of both cloths and yarns have been well maintained. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has shown symptoms of increased animation ; and in the hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Not tingham a more cheerful tone has prevailed. Business in the hardware districts, viz., at Birming ht.m, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, has continued as isfactory. A new undertaking is the Whittington Freehold Colliery Company, requiring a nominal capital of £135,000 in share-, of £lO each. Tne amount to b.- first called up is £75,000, but as nearly half of this sum is taken by the vendor in part payment for the estate, and as 2,000 shares have been already sub scribed by the directors, only 8,00 shares are now offered to the public. The property in question i< situated near Chesterfi-ld, is intersected by the Midland Railway, and comprises 171) acres of arabl, land, and covers 3,50 acros of mineral strata, con taining six seams of coal and three beds of iror,- stone. The plant and machinery are also included in the purchase, and the colifenes are capable 0 pro4ucing Upwards of 5(4) tons of coal per da, , while the sale of ironstone, the worki'ls of which has only recently been commenced, exceech, 300 ton, per week. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. RellitS were at 68f. sc. to 68f, Very flat, Operations in the English Stock Market this morning have been limited, and as a consequencr, when business is restricted and a few sales an eff,cted, quotations recede. The decline up to the present moment represents 4 per cent.,Consols being 921 & for money and account, The New Thr,Ts and Reduced Annuities are 931; Btnk Stock, 236 238; India Stock, 227 229, and the 5 per Cent. Loan 1084 ; the Debentures are 1004 ; the Bonds 16s, prem.; and Exchequer Bills, par to 3s. pre m. Business in the Foreign Market is rather active, and prices of nearly all the principal securities has declined; the most important movement is the fall in the Confederate Loan, which is now 4 to 31 dis- Count owing to the bad news from he seat of war. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 671 68; do. Conso. lides, 501 1; Mexican, 371 1 ; Spanish Passive, 324 331; Greek, 34/ 4 ; do.

Caledonian and South Eastern have re ceded about 10s., and Great Eastern, Brighton and North Western 58. For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been a very limited enquiry, and quotations Show little change of importance.

Our market to-de.y was well supplied with foreign stock, but its general qualify was by no means prime. The de mand was heavy, and the quotations were with difficul y fmpporte I. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up were seasonably extensive, and most breeds came to hand in good saleable condition. The arrivals from Ireland and Scotland were very moderate, Although the attendance of buyars was numerous, the beef trade was in a sluggish state. Compared with Monday last, however, no change took place in the quotations. The extreme value of the best Scots and crosses was ss. per Sibs. The arrivals from Lincullithire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 2,600 shorthorns, ice.; how other parts of England, 800 various kinds; from Scotland, 80 Scots and crosses ; and, from Ireland, 50 oxen and heifers, Although the supply of sheep was again extensive the mutton trade ruled steady, at full price,.

We have to report a steady sale for lambs, the show of wh,ch was good, at full currencies —viz,, from 5s 4d togs. 4d per 81bs.

The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur day rulrd inactive. Good and fine parcels, however, com manded rather more attention, at full quotations. The spring corn trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. In flour a moderate business was transacted, at late rates. Advices from New York state that good and fine wheat and flout were in moderate export demand, at rather higher prices. On the Continent the trade generally is dull.

BOW -STREET. OPEN. AIR PREACHING. —The Rev. Richard Hibbs, who appeared before Mr. Corrie on former occasions for crewing a disturbance by c ilecting a crowd in friaat of the Duke of York's C lumn by preaching, and at whose request the charge was adjourned, again attended this morning to show that ne was acting within the law, and that the police had no awh , Tity to bike him into custody. Inspector Wilson said—ln consequence of the complaiuts of Sir M, Ridley and several members of the clubs, Sir R. Mayne had directed the police to prevent preaching w-ar to the Duke of York'. Column, and because Hibbs refused to esist he was taken into custody. Mr. Hibbs—l should like to know if there has been any particular objection to me ? Inspector Wilson—Yes, several gentlemen of the clubs have frequently complained. Mr. Hibbs—You don't call that a complaint of the in• habitants. Mr Con ie—l don't see under what section in the police act you are pro ceding. Mr. Hibbs—Neither do I see any section which declares pre telling a nuisance. How do you make it a nuisance and annoyance? Inspector Wilson—By the crowd collecting. Mr. Hibbs—Did you find the crowd and myself dis orderly ? Inspector Wilson—No. There was no disorder, but you were proceeding at the top of your voice, and have been told that the members of the Athenaeum Club have been c•mpelld during the hot weather to close their windows in consequence of the annoyance. Mr. Cortie—That is the club to which the learned men belong. Mr. Hibbs—Can you say the distance from the Atherssum at which I was preaching ? Inspector Wilson—No, not exacAy, but I should say about 60 feet. Mr. Hibbs—Well, would it be possible to select a more desirable site for the purpose of preach ng Inspeator Wilson Supposing preaching was allowed there I should say you cJuld not take up a better spot. It was nearly in the centre. Mr. Hibbs--Now, rcierring to the complaint of Sir M. Ridley, do you consider that the persons who were listen ing to my preaching could be called "noisy rabble and bad characters ?" Inspector Wilson—Well, I can't say that. There was a large crowd, and you were preaching. As you refused to go away, 1 took you into custody. Mr. Hibbs— And that led to a breach of the peace occa sioned b) the constable. Mr. Currie—You do not act in this matter under any particular section of the act, but from the general order you receive, to disperse all crowds Inspector—Yes, your worship, that is so. Mr. Corrie—The better course for you to adopt, Mr, Hibbs, as you contend you have doneno wrong, is to show me the right you have to be there. Mr. Hibb—There was no obstruction to begin with. Mr. Currie—There were, according to y9ur own state ment, ab Jut 200 persons listening to you. Mr. Hibbs—There was enough room for two carriages to pass together between the crowd and the kerbstone. There was no obstruction, and I do complain of the conduct of the police. The Rev. G. Townshend, incumbent of St. Michael's Burleigh-street, said he knew Mr. Hibbs, and he con.: sidered hie preaching was quite of a consistent nature. He had seen Mr. Gladstone listening to Mr. Hibbs preaching, Mr. Brook, of Newgate-street, said Mr. Hibbs was most scrupulous in his observance of the law. In addition to Mr. Gladstone, he had notictd the Baron and Baroness Bernstorff, the Duke of Leinster, and others of the nobility listening to his preaching. With respect to the members of the Athenaeum Club, he did not wonder at their shutting down their win dows ; he was only surprised they did not draw down the blinds. (Laughter.) They sat all Sunday reading news papers, and a more irreligi , us body of people he did not know. (Laughtr.) He considered that the proceedings of Mr. Hibbs had had a beneficial effect rather than otherwise, for he had fr. gut nt ly seen many highly influential personages listening to him. Mr. Mathew H. Field, of 24, King's-road, Notting-hill, spoke of the orderly manner of the crowd. Inspector Wilson—There had been no less than seven persons p'reaching in the epace betore the column that par ticular Sunday. . cannot see, as beyond all d, übt the Bishop of London. and Lord Wrottesley Russell have preached in the open air in Covent-garden market, that I can be c ,n -sidered to have coonniited any offence against the law. After a lung discussion with the rev. gentleman, Mr. Conic, said he did not think Mr. Hibbs had a right to preach in the place he had selected, and as the police had prevented the repetition, he Was not called upon to proceed further with the matter. Mr. Hibbs—l di,n't know but what I've a cause of action for illegal arrest against the constable. Mr. Corrie—l've nothing to do with that. The rev. gentleman and his friends then left the court. M ARL BOROUGH • STREET. KICKING A WIFE DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS—COM MITTAL FOR TRlAL.—Thomas Behan, a tall powerful-built man, residing at 25, W hitcombe-street, St. Martin's, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting his wife, Anne, by kicking her down a flight of stairs. The complainant, a very stout female, who seemed to suffer a great deal, and gave her evidence sitting, said—On Saturday morning my husband came home about 4 o'clock, having been drinking. li a was let in by my daughter, 11 years of age, and then began calling her all manner of bad nem( a, and pulled me by my hair. My child -aid, "Father, or my sake don't kill my mather, and when the shops are open I will get you something to eat." He had been look. ing in the room for something to eat, but he has given me no money for my support, neither has he paid the rent for 12 years. He then went to bed, having been drinking. I got up early and went about my work, being a laundress On cording back from Brompton I heard that he had got up and gone oat, and ho returned about 7 in the evening nearly drunk, bringing some victuals with him. My child came to speak to roe, and he caved out to her " why do you speak to that —." He afterwards Pat down, and as he had a knife and rork in his hand, and I was afraid he would butt the child, I sent her downstairs I then went on to the third step of the stairs, intending to descend thew, when my husband followed me, and put his toot on the skirt of my dress, in,d on my turning round he lifted up riffs foot and deliberately kicked me down the stairs-11 in number—and I fell to the bottom, and he never attempted to pick me up. I could not speak a word and could not move. Two doctors were sent for, and I was afterwards tasen to the Charing-Cross Hospital in a cab. The doctor said I had no bones broken, but I believe something in my head is broken—it was very bad. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did he kick you on purpose? Complainant—Oh yes. He gnashed his teeth, and said when he kieted me "Take that." All my injuries are on my head. Mr. Tyrwhitt—ls it the Erg time you have had to com plain of him. Compitainant—Oh no. Prisoner—Did I kick you off the stairs. Complainant—Yee, and you said you would tear my liver 1 hat she was not killed on the spot. I shall send the case to a jury. The prisoner, who has frequently been charged with as saults on his wife, was then committed for trial. WE S'l MINSTER. A MODEL" Sox.—Joseph I‘l‘Grath, a stout youth of 16 was charged with assaulting his mother , a very respectabl ® looking middle-aged Irishwoman. Complainant stated that her son's hand was constantly being risen against her, 'and she had neither peace nor safety. On Saturday morning ha struck her, and in the evening he repeated the blow. He locked the doors, and she was obliged to get out of window to escape him. His execrations were horrible, and he was constantly doing some mischief. Mr Sede—What have you there in your hand ? Complati.ant—Things that he has turn up—articles of dress. Mr Selfe—Did he destroy them while you were wearing them ? Complainant—No, after I was out; he also broke four keys up. Mr. Selfe (to defendant) —What d;) you say for yourself? Defendant—She's always calling me pickpockets and robbers, and I don't like it. Mr. Selle—Do you live with your mother ? Defendant—Yes. Mr. Selfe—And don't like her conduct ? Defendant—No, I don't. Mr. Sole—Then why don't you leave her ? Ds-fendant—l have no one to do anything for me. Mr. Selfe—You are big enough to do something for your self. How does he get his living. Complainant—He does nothing, and says that I am bound to keep him. Mr. Selfe—What are you ? Complainant—l am a licensed hawker, and have to work for my living. My husband is in Ireland, and I have to live by my own labour. Elizabeth M`Grath, defendant's sister, was called, and said that he often struck his mother, and had recently given her a black eye. He refused to do anything towards get ting his own living, and said he would be the master of be place, and she must supi.ort him, and was bound to do so. He also threatened her by saying he would be hung tf.r her. Defendant—My sis'er is telling lies—she is. Mr. Selfe—lu whit respect? Defendant— She says I said I'd be hung for her—that's lies—l did not. Mr. Selfe—What do you say to striking your mother ? that's the question. Defendant—lt's wrong, and I shan't do it any more. Mr. Selfe—lt you know this is wrong, why do you do it? Defendant—The night before she was after massacring me. Mr. Selfe—Why don't you leave her ? You are bound to work for your living. Your mo.her is not bound to keep you--that is a mistake of yours. You are an ill-conducted, lazy fellow, and I'll see whether you can't do some labour on your own account. You are committed for 14 days to hard labour. THAMES. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.—Ccrneljus Collins, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with being concerned with others in a murderous outrage com mitted on the 11th of June last. Thomas Wooton, a police-constable, No. 252 K, who has been suffering from the violent assault committed upon him, stated that in consequence of repeated complaints from the inhabitants, of men and boys lying about the footpath and obstructing the thoroughfare in the East India-road, he was directed to interfere and remove offenders. On the 11th of June, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he proceeded to re move persons lying on the footpaths. The obstructions on that day were so extensive that passengers on foot were compelled to walk in the roadway. Every person who was spoken to removed except the prisoner, who said " Pll be hanged for you before I move an inch." He remonstrated with the prisoner, and said, "You had better go away, my good man." If the prisoner had been his own brother he could not have been more civil to him. 'the prisoner would not leave, and his countrymen called out, "Don't go away, kick the life out of him ; kick his guts out." The prisoner then struck him a violent blow with his fist on the eye. He seized the prisoner, who kicked and struck him several times. A severe struggle ensued, and the prisoner was rescued from him. Ha ran after the prisoner, who struck him again and al•o kicked him. The bystanders called out, " Kill the -." I n his def•nce he had to use his truncheon, and struck the prisoner, Directly afterwards a heavy stone was thrown, and it struck him on the head, &lied him to the ground, and rendered him insensible. He lost a good deal of blood, and was carried into a public-house. lie was unable to do any duty for a week afterwards. Kober M‘Master, a unstable in the service of the East and West India Dock Company, confirmed the latter part of Wooton's ptatement, and said he assisted the disabled constable into a tavern, and it was some time before he re covered. The apprehension of the prisoner by police-constable, No. 493 K, yesterday (Sunday) afternoon was proved. Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner was concerned with others in a cowardly outrage on the constable, and com mitted him for trial. out Coo Ellen Lowe, a married woman liv;ng in the same house, said—l heard a noise and the prisoner say " Take that." 1 heard Mrs. Behan scream, and afterwards found her lying at the bottom of the stairs. The stairs are very steep, nar row, and dangerous. Her head was on the floor and her legs up three stairs. I then sent for a constable, nor being able to raise Mrs. Behan myself. 1 saw some black bruises on the back or Mrs. Brthan's neck, and her arm is swollen. Michael Brosnan, 185 C, said—l found the complainant lying on the floor, and she could not speak for some time, and when she did she said prisoner had kicked her down stairs. The prisoner, who was sitting in his room, said his wife had fallen down. Mr. Tyrwhitt—He was not doing anything to assist her? Brosnau—No, sir, he had been drinking. In answer to the charge, prisoner said he had quarrelled with his wire, and that she fell down the stairs. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l believe you did kick her down. It is a most brutal thing altogether, and very-fortunate for you Baldassarre's Re-awakened Memory. There are few passages of subtler literary gran deur in English romance, says a writer in the Spectator (who pronounces "Romola" to be "one of the greatest works of modern fiction ") than that which paints the electrifying effect of a thrill of vindictive passion on Bildassarre's paralysed memory, in recalling once more his full command of Greek learning, and the sense of power which thus returned to him " He leaned to take up the fragments of the dagger; then he turned towards the book which lay open at his aide. It was a fine large manuscript, an odd volume of Pausanias. The moonlight was upon it, and he could see the large letters at the head of the page: MEZZHNIKA. K B. In old days he had known Peusanias familiarly; yet an hour or two ago he had been looking hopelessly at that page, and it had suggested no more meaning to him than if the letters had been black weather- marks on a wall; but at this moment they were once more the magic signs that conjure up a world. That moonbeam falling on the letters had raised Messenia before him, and its struggle against the Spar tan oppression. He snatched up the b ok, buy the light was too pale for him to read fur ther by. No matter: he knew that chapter; he read in wardly. He saw the stoning of the traitor Aristocrates— stoned by a whole people, who cast him out from their bor de:s to lie unburied, and set up a pillar with some verses upon it, telling how Time had brought home justice to the unjust. The words arose within him, and stirred innu merable vibrations of memory. He forgot that he was old; he could almost have shouted. The fight was cortie again, mother of knowledge and joy ! In that exultation his limbs recovered their strength : he started up wi h his broken dagger and book, and went out under the broad moonlight. It was a nipping fro-ty air, but Baldassare could feel no chill—he only felt the glow of conscious power. He walked about and paused on all the open spots of that high ground, and 'ooked down ( n the domed and towered city, sleeping darkly under its sleeping guardians, the mountains; on the pale gleam of the river; on the valley vanishing towards the peaks of snow ; and felt himself master of them all. That sense of mental empire which belongs to us all in mo• monts of exceptional clearness, was intensified for him by the long days and night in which memory had been little more than the consciousness of something gone. That city which had been a weary labyrinth, was material that he could subdue to nis purposes now : ' his mind glanced through its affairs with flashing conjecture ; he was once more a man who knew cities, whose sense of vision was in structed with large experience, and who felt the keen de light of holding alt things in the grasp of language. Names! Images I—his mind rushes through its wealth without pausing, like one who enters on a great inheritance." SHIPPING—This Day.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The passage of the Warrior, iron frigate, out of Portsmouth harbour on the 9th instant to join the Channel fleet, then lying at Spithead, afforded a clnclusive priof of the present efficient depth of , water in the harbour's channel of entrance. The frigate, drawing over 27 feet of water, crossed the " bar" in the harbour channel on that day half an hour before high water, the tides being the dead of the neaps, and flowing that afternoon to 636 p.m. This a fact of the most important character, when considered jointly with the question of the intended extension to Ports mouth dockyard, and the erection thereof new docks for the accommodation of our irun fleets. THE ARMY. A new code of regulations to be adopted in all future trials of rifled ordnance h Is been received at the Ordnance Department, Chatham, from the War Department, and, under the orders of the Secretary of State for War, is to be strictly adhered to. The regulations hitherto in force are abolished, and in future all rifled guns are to be proved by firing two rounds with the service charge of powder and cylinder, equal in weight to two service shots; and and three rounds with a service shot, and a charge of one-sixth the weight of the service projectile, as at present, for those guns the service charge for which is one-eighth, and in the same proportion for guns having a larger charge. The following alteration in the system of proof of brass ordnance, which has been recently approved in India, ha , been ordered to be adopted in this country :—The piece to be proved when .08 inch below the true calibre, and afterwards finished. This alteration has been adopted in consequence of its having been observed that the effect of the proof charge upon brass ordnance, when fired with the usual windage, is in almost all cases to leave serious indentations near the seat of the shot. Indentations so caused will, by this system, be removed in finishing the gun. The 22d company of Royal Engineers, which has been placed 'inner orders to proceed to China, being considerably below its proper strength, a number of Sappers and Miners have been selected from the depot companies at Chatham to augment the com pany prior to its embarkation on the 23d inst. Tne new church of St. George, erected at Alder shott, opposite the Centre-road Permanent Bar racks, will be consecrated o❑ Thursday, the 20th inst., by the Bishop of Winchester. The Secretary of Sate for War and other high personages have expressed their intentio❑ of being present on the occasion. A public luncheon will be provided in the riding-school of the 13th Hussars. To-day commences a gala with the troops sta tioned at Aldershott. The annual divisional athletic sports and foot races, under the patronage of Lieut.- Gen. Sir J. L. Pennefather, 1C.C.8., commanding, will take place on the Royal Pavil ion Cricket ground. The sports are open to both officers and men, and nearly 500 competitors have entered their names to contend for the various prizes. On Tuesday the great annual military rifle match will commence at Cas3ar's Camp, and be continued on the two follow ing days. On Friday the divisional races will take place on the ground between the North and South Camps. Among the eight events to be decided are the A.:dershott Town Plate, the Farnborough Cup, the Canteen Occupants' Cup, and the South-Western Railway Plate. A commodious grand stand has been erected, a portion of which is fitted with crim son cloth, in anticipation of the presence of some distinguished visitors. At night a grand ball will be given in the clubhouse by the officers of the divi sion, who are already making every arrangement for the purpose. The St. Lawrence and Newcastle East Indiamen have arrived at Spit head from the Thames to em bark troops for Calcutta, under the supervision of Capt. Loch, embarkation offiJer to the Hon. Council for India. The St. Lawrence will embark to day a detachment of the 2d battalion 20th Foot, a second detachment of the same regiment embarking in the Cur.flict East Indianian on the 24th, and the head quarters of the repmentin the Blenheim on the 25th. The Newcastle embarks a detachment of the sth Lancers (dismounted), and the head quarters will also embark from Portsmouth in the Herefordshire East Indiaman on the 23d inst. The 22d C .mpauy of Royal Engineers will embark on board the Louisa, hired transport, on the 23d or 24th inst. at Portsmouth, for conveyance to China. THE RIDICULOUS WILL OF AN ECCENTRIC ACTOR.—As quoted by Mr. Toni Taylor in the Victoria Magazine.—l, Thomas Weston, comedian, hat ing all form and ceremony, shall use none in my will, but proceed immediately to the explaining my intentions. Im primis As from Hr. Foote I derived all my consequence in life, and as it is the bast thing I am in possession of, I would, in gratitude at my decease, leave it to the said Mr. Foote ; but I know he neither stands in need of it as an author, actor, nor as a man; the public have fully 'moved it in the two first, and his good nature and humanity have secured it to him in the last. Item : I owe some obliga tions to Mr. Garrick; I therefore bequeath him all the money I die possessed of, as there is nothing on earth he is so very fond of. Item : Though I owe no obliga tions to Mr. Harris, yet his having shown a sincere re gard for the performers of his theatre (by assisting them in their necessities, and yet taking nc advantage thereof, by driving a Jew bargain at their signing fresh articles), demands from me, as an actor, some acknow ledgment ; I theretore leave him the entire possession of that satisfaction which must aaturally result on reflecting that, during his management, he has never done anything base or mean to sully his character as an honest man, or a e entleman. Item-1 leaving played under the management of Mr. Jefferson, at Richmond, and received from him every politeness; I therefore leave him all my stock of prudence, it being the only good quality I think he stands in need of. Item—l give to Mr. Reddish a grain of honesty ; 'tis indeed a small legacy, but being a rarity to him, I think he will not refuse to accept it. Item—l leave Mr. Yates all my spiril.

P EN SIONS. finance accounts wh i c h have just been issued,ar give, as usual, a year, rat h er serious list of pensions ch arged upon the consolidated fund, and therefore no otherwise stated than in these ac counte. Among the larger entries are five ex• Chancellors or England receiving £5,000 a year each, two ex-Chancellors of Ireland with £3,692, four retired English judges with £3,500, two Irish with £2,400, and five County Court judges dividing £4,600 between them. But these are pensions earned by personal service; perhaps not so much can be said of s ome others. The Earl of Ellenbm ough has a compensa tion annuity of £7,700 as chief clerk of the Court of Queen's Bench ; th e R ev. T. Thurlow, £4,028 as clerk of the hanaper , in addition to £7.352 as patentee of bankrupts. Viscount A.vonmore receives £4,199 as late registrar of the Irish Court of Chancery ; the Earl of Roden Pe2,698 as late audi tor -general of the Irish Exchequer. But these pensions will come to an end ; even that cannot be said of some others. Th ere i s a b ove £23 , 000 a year paid in perpetual pensions, payable as long at least as there shall be an Earl Amherst or Nelson, a Lord Rodney, a Viscount Exmouth, an heir of William Penn, or of the Duke of Schomberg, and so forth. Of the limited number of first-class pensions of £2,000 a year to statesmen who have been in high office, and who ceiim the pensions, only two are now, payable— viz., to Lord Glenelg and Mr. Disraeli; Sir a. Grey's i s suspended, he being again in office. Several pensions ceased in the course of the year —among them that to the family of George Canning and that to the doorkeeper of the Irish House of Lords but the housekeeper still lives t o receive her annual compensation for loss of emoluments by the Union. 7 _ SECOND EDITION.

On the Cup d ay, the courts: presented a very animated appearance, and whatever short comings the racing was subject to, there was certainly little perceptible falling off in the company assembled. True Heart in the opening race, the Welter Cup, effected the overthrow of The Cutler, who inflicted a severe cut on his backers, as they laid 2 to 1 on him, and Practitioner prac. tised after the same fashion in the Mersey Stakes, whose defeat by Persuasion was another extraordinary turn up after his recent brilliant achievement at Worcester. The Cup brought to the post a more numerous field than wa s generally anticipated. There was nothing much to find fault with in the condition of any of the competitors, though some considered Victor to be on the "big" side, while others thought The Knave and Joey Jones too fine drawn. Mr. Hodgman's horse was, perhaps, not quitelup to the mark, but the others were as fit as training could make them, and that there was nothing amiss with The Knave was proved by h's clever victory; but if Oak Apple had not met with an accident I have no doubt he would have turned the tables on Mr. Merry's horse. Stamford, as usual, attracted a most aristocratic attendance, but the meeting was not ' served by being brought forward a week, as, independent of Liverpool and Abingdon using up several of the horses engaged, it clashed directly with Hungerford and Ponte fract, which divided the Ring, and, of course, lessened the attendance. The meetings for this week are Notting.. ham, Winchester, Southampton, Knutsford, Cambridge, and Aldershott, and as all, except Knutsford, are within a morning's ride of the metropolis they will afford a good opportunity for an "outing " in this delight ful weather, when the heat of town has become almost un bearable. Nottingham takes place on Tuesday and Wed. nesday, and Mr Bradfield has seldom brought out a better bill of fare, as there are 18 races on the list for the two days, nearly all of which have filled in a manner that shows how popular the meeting on " merrie Sherwood" has become. Of the nine items set for decision on the first day six are closed, the principal of which is the Nottinghamshire Handicap. It secured a fair acceptance, all things con sidered, as 23 horses remain in, with a likelihood of some ten reaching the starting post, to be selected from Prince Plausible, Doefoot, Dulcibella, Flir tation, Pilot, Bandage, Brighton, Liston, Blithfield, Airedale, Joco, Luna, Jack's Alive, and Middlewatch. Brighton has been backed within the last few days, but I doubt his ability to beat either Flirtation or Blithfield over the distance, and from what I saw of the latter at Liverpool last week it ought to be a very near thing between him and Flirtation, Garotter ought to win the Robin Hood Stakes; Bertha or Tippler the Bradgate Handicap; Light or The Clown the Buney Park Stakes, and Garotter the Rufford Abbey Stakes. The Hampshire Stakes, run at Winchester, will be won by either Gardener or Earl of Surrey, and the Grange Park Stakes by Hengist. Knutsford appears to be on the sick list for the Goodwood Stakes, but I expect he will recover his position again as the horse is well. A FRESH MAN. CITY BETTING—SATURDAY.

Miss Braddon was at this time an actress at the Queen's Theatre, Hull, and played under the name of Miss Seyton. She wrote the introductions to the pantominats, and several odes which were delivered on public occasions. This brought her into notice, and o w c h c s ile i o she e l poe ms, wasstaying at Beverley Park s s h e p u bli s h e d which induced Mr. Emp son , th e bank rupt, to enter into an agreement with her to write him a novel.

A reward of £lOO was offered for the recovery of the will, but without e ff ec t, till last week, when a mysteriously worded °cilium nication was received from an anonymous correspondent, stating that if a lady of the Powell family would attend at a certain gate on the Geer property, and there hold a con ference with the writer, the missing will and other docu ments should be restored intact, on payment of the promised reward. An interview accordingly took place between a supposed lady and the anonymous correspondent ; but £125 were demanded as the price for the restoration of the will, and that sum being refused the conference terminated. A second arrangement was made by letter for a meeting en Monday night, but this also went off unsatisfactorily. A th'rd arrangement was made for Wednesday night, but in this the services of the police were engaged, and it resulted in the capture of a young man, named Edward Gill, aged 18, son of a picture-frame maker of Newport, after a des perate struggle with Sergeant Hale, of the county consta bulary. On searching the ground where the encounter took place on Thursday morning the whole of the missing pro perty which had been so mysteriously stolen from the Geer was discovered. Gill was taken before the magistrates on Thursday, when some prelimivary evidence was adduced, and the prisoner was remanded till this day. I
