~._ ,i'/T ONE Y MARKET COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. AND CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK The general money market to day does not show the slightest tendency ,o alteration, the demand being moderate, while the rates continue to range as low as 3 per cent. TLe amount of specie to be taken out by the Ellora, which leaves to-day with the Bombay mails, is £64,700. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent Rentes were 691. 60c. —beaty. Speculation has continued dull in the market for the English Funds, and as the dealings for transfer Were limited an extreme degree of inactivity is ex perienced. Consols are now quoted 939 fk i for money, and 92L- t, less the dividend, for the 9th prox., showing scarcely any alteration. The New Threes and Reduced are 914 92 ; India 5 per Cents., 1091 110; and Exchequer Bills, par. The Foreign Stock Market presents a heavy ap pearance upon sales in realisation of the recent im portant advance, but there is not quite so mach business. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 70; 71 ; do., Consolides, 551 ; Greek, 311 a ; do. Coupons, 144 15; Mexican, 361 37; Spanish Passive, 341 9 ; do., Certificates, 12 1 ; Italian, 711 2; Portuguese, 491 1; Egyptian, 991 1; and the CJnfederate Loan, I dis to par. Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather inactive, and prices have in some instances shown rather less firmness. Great Westerns and S mth-Easterns have declined ss. ; and London and Brighton, 10s. Great Northern A Stock hba advanced 10s.; and Metropolitan, ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines generally main- u tain about previous rates. In Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneo us Shares ti there has been a fair inquiry, arid prices in m(st it instances are steady. Binh of Queensland have luf. improved to 7 and 79; Chartered of BrWeh Coiymbia, to 98; London and County, to 36k; Union of Australia, to 531; and Royal Mail Steam, to 65.

Consols, Money Ditto Account 924 t ad The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week have been generally of a satis factory character. At Manchester there has been a steady business in cloths and yarns for the India and China markets. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, however, has con tinued dull ; and at Leicester and Nottingham there has been rather less activity in the hosiery and lace departments. The hardware districts, viz., of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, have not experienced any material change. The progress of business in the metal market during April is thus described by Messrs. James and Shakspeare :—" We have again to note a period of stagnation. Though money was both cheap and abundant, speculation has lain dormant, even where statistics promised a favourable result. From the same cause, we have seen holders refrain from pressing sales, preferring to wait for a revival of the demand, rather than to offer their goods at a lower rate than the quotation of the day."

The express train leaving Newcastl e f or the south at 1 30 broke down near the IVI orden C ars , b eyond Darl ington , p on p.m,, Friday. The crank shaft of the en g i ne , on which all the weight of the train is sustained, snapped. This was indi cated to the driver, named Wiseman, by the piston thump ing against the end of the cylinder. But for Wiseman's prea,nce of mind in turning off the steam instead of revers ing the engine immediately, and so allowing the friction of the rails to bring the train to a standstill, fearful havoc would probably have resulted. The passengers, in admi rhtion of his conduct, made a handsome subsc: iption for him.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN BE BILES—JUDGMENT. His Honour to-day gavo judgment in the case of this bankrupt, who applied a few days since to pass his exami • nation, and to apply for the order of die. harge. His honour said that the bankrupt was described as a farrier and cab proprietor, and this was one of the many cases so frequently before the court in which persons against whom a judgment either on contract or fact came before the court to be re leased. In this case the bankrupt had an action brought against him for a large sum of money, and consented to a verdict for £lOO, and the debts and costs amounted to £l7B, and the very day the judgment was given the bankrupt pe titioned the court, he at the time only owing other debts to the amount of £l9, so that substantially this court was re sorted to simply to render the judgment useless. It was said by some persons that the creditors before they brought actions ought to satiFfy themselves that if they obtained a verdict the debtor was in a position to pay the money, but a man might be solvent then ; but there were facilities for his getting rid of every thing, and leave the assignee to try the question at his own expense. He (his Honour) hoped that if there be any alteration in the law something might be done to prevent these very great frauds, for he was fully persuaded that this was a very great fraud, and that a cri minal offence had been committed under the 6th and 7th clauses of the 221 section of the act of Parliament, for there could be no doubt that the accounts were concocted and manufactured. His Honour commented with great severity on the conduct of amen named Sm.ridge, himself a bankrupt, and although he had not cleared his first bankruptcy was again before the Court, and he and another person had made up a book after the bankruptcy. He (his Honour) would not order a prosecution, as he feared that the evidence of Surridge (and another) might be set up, but if the matter was taken before a magistrate, and there was a committal, he would order a prosecution. As the case stood, he would never pass the bankrupt on the false and fabricated FL:- counts, but adjourn the examination sine die, with protec tion for six weeks to enable the bankrupt to appeal or apply again to this court. He also asked Mr. Tucker (the solici tor to the assigne. s) to loi k at all the proceedings and see what probability there vett• of a conviction, looking at the proceedings in the case of Surridge. IN RE SIR C. SULLIVAN. In this case his Honour said that it would not have fol lowed as a matter of course that the bankrupt would have been discharged by the Registrar, who would have exer cised his discretionary power. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT —This Day, OLD COURT. The May session of the Central Criminal Court corn menced this morning. The calendar contains the names of 139 prisoners await ing trial. There are five charges of wilful murder, man. slaught..r, 3; forgery, 17; housebreaking and larceny, 6 burglary, 7; misdemeanour, 6 ; larceny by servants, 10; uttering base coin, 26 ; *rid perjury, 1; the remainder con sisting of the usual description of cases. The Recorder, i n c h arging the jury remarked that there were no less than fi ve i ndividuals for wilful murder, but as defence Samuelset tt Rionbintswono, was insanity, h e would not of them, vi z ., H arriet G t h o e o d iiffe and trouble them by re f erring to them. One of the indictments was rather sing u l ar and arose out of the mutiny which broke out som e t i m e ago on board a Peruvian vessel of war lying in the port o f L ondon. The deceased Manuel Rodri guez Silva, tv.qi in the ca bi n of the s hi p w h en the prisoner Mango, a soldier, entered, and in order to avoid an en counter with him, Silva jumped overboard and was drowned. The jury must satisfy themselves that the life of the deceased was in danger from the violence of prisoner before they could return a true bill against him. With re spect t . the crime of child murder, it was lamentable to observe that it appeared, from the numters of persons charged with it, to be on the increase; yet legally that did not appear to be the case, as the convictions for the crime were comparatively few. Raving made a few observati. net relative to the number of persons charged with uttering counterfeit coin, the learned gentleman concluded and the grand jury retired. xunxzzn E mENT. Thomas Richards on , who was foun d gu ;l ty last session of embezzling and s t ea li ng various sums o f money, the pro perty of Thomas C-oper, his master, was placed in th e d ock and sentenced to six years penal servitude. The Lyons journals announce a suspension of payments on the part of the firm of Travi and Co., a large house in the silk trade in that city. The liabilities are be lieved to amount to from 2,500,000 fr. to 3,000,000 fr, Henri IV.

THE REPRESENTATION OP TRALEE.We hum the youngest son of the Liberator has received from ' the Government an appointment for which we know he is in every way fully qualifiA ; audit is gratifting to observe that the administration of Lord Palmerston has not hesi tated to confer on the youngest son of th e i ndefatigab'e, able, and eloquent champion of Catholic rights a position which the one may confer and the other accept without compromise of principle. By this most graceful appoint ment the representation of the borough of Tralee becomes vacant, and last night Mr. Bland moved in the House of Cointnqns for a new writ. Rumour says that Mr. Thomas O'H4gan, the able and eloquent advocat e o f Catholic righ•s on all occasions, is like to be the successor of the Libera rator's son. If so, all we add is• that the representation could not fall into better or more faithful custody.—l ree man's Journal.

For selected wheats, there was a fair, but by no means active, demand, and last Monday's cur rency was steadily supported. The trade for inferior pro duce ruled heavy, and to have pressed sales. factors would have been compelled to accept is per quarter less money than on Monday last. The greater portion of the latter re mained unsold at the close of business. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly, and the transactions were mostly confined to retail parcels. All good and fine samples supported last week's currency ; otherwise the quotations had a downward tendency. Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, at fully previous rates. The supply of English and foreign barley was small. Both for grinding and distilling sorts there was a steady demand, and the quotations were well maintained. A fair average business was transacted in malt at late currencies. The supply of oats, chiefly foreign, was moderately ex tensive. Good and fine corn moved off freely at extreme rates ; but inferior produce sold slowly at, in some in stances, rather lower picas. With beans the market was scantily supplied, and the value of all descriptions was well supported. The demand, however, was by no means active. Peas were in short supply, and steady request at full quotations. The supply of barrel flour was very moderate, yet the inquiry was much restricted at previous rater.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market, in somewhat improved condition. The demand was rather firm, at full quotations. From our own graxi, g districts, as well as from Scotland, the arrival of beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably good, and their general weight and quality were t , lerably fine compared with Monday last. The demand for nearly all breeds was inactive, and in some instances the quotations gave way 21 per 81bs. A few very superior Scots and crosses realised 4s ICd ; but the general top figure for beef did not exceed 4s 8d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,600 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from other parts of England 300 various breeds, and from Scotland 400 Scots and crosses. There was a fair average number of sheep in the pens, in mostly prime condition. The mutton trade was in a sluggish state, and the currencies declined 2d per Blbs. A very few superior Downs went at 4slod, but the more gene ral T rice was 4d 8d per 81bs. The best Lincolna and Lei cesters realised 4s 4d per Blbs. Lambs, the supply of which was moderate, moved off slowly at Thursday's decline in value. Prices ranged from 6s to 7s 4d par Blbs. About 600 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. We were fairly supplied with calves, which met a dull inquiry, at last week's depression. The top figure was 4s 10d per 81bs. The pork trade was in a sluggish state, at barely previous rates.

The supplies of English wheat on sale in the country markets, held on Swurday, were moderate. Good and fine parcels moved off slowly, at previous rates—otherwise the trade was dull, and the quot.tions had a downward ten dency. All descriptions of spring colt supplies of which wrre small—changed hands at full prices. In flour, a limited business was transacted, chiefly on former terms. Advices from New York state that the trade for wheat and flour was heavy, and that very little was doing for ex port to Great Britain. On the continent, the markets for wheat and spring corn are firm. The arrivals of English wheatup to our market last week, were moderate—of spring corn small. The imports from abroad amounted to 10,321 quarters of wheat-929 barley -38,450 oats-837 beans-1,290 peas-1,498 linseed-120 rapeseed-100 maize-65 sundry seeds-117 sacks and 3,352 barrels of flour. POLICE IN' This Day. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL AND DANGEROUS PRACTICE,—George Bustard, a boy 14 years of age, was charged, under the Police Act, with unlawfully throwing stones in a public tho'oughtare, to the danger of the public. Henry Salisbury, a policeman, said that, at half past 11 yesterday morning, he was on duty at Chelsea New Bridge, and saw the defendant, who was accompanied by other buys, pick up stones and thrown them over the bridge. Witness immediately advanced to take him into custody, when the defendant ran away, but was secured. Mr. Dayman—He threw the stones into the Thames P Witness—Yes, he did. Mr. Dayman—Were there any boats passing at the time ? Witness —There were many boats on the river, and they were continually passing under the bridge. We have had many complaints, and that induced me to keep a sharp look out. When I took the defendant he said he was very sorry. Inspector Butler —There have been repeated complaints made to the Commissioner of Police of the injury resulting from stones being thrown from this bridge, and we have received orders to pay attention to the circumstance. The constable (Salisburg)—ln a case which occurred on Sunday week a lady had her head cut. Inspector Butler —A gentleman is hero who witnessed the defendant's conduct yesterday. Mr. Firth, of Gillingham-street, Pimlico— I saw him throw a stone, or some other hard substance, into the:water. Mr. Dart an—There w4s no boat passing at the time ? Witness—Luckily there was not—but the boy could not see whether there was or was not—that was entirely the effect of chance. The tile was running fast at the time, and boats might have come from under the bridge at a moment. Mr. Dayman—This is a very dangerous practice, but as you did not mean to strike any one, although you might have done so, I shal► only fine you 65., but if repeated I shall fine you 40s. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. LORD DE Ros AND THE CABMAN—CRUELLT FLOG GING A HORSE.—William Humphrey, a cab driver, badge 5,270, appeared Lefore Mr.Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of Mr. Wm. Love, chief officer of the Royal Soeiety for the Pi ovontion of Cruolty to Animals, for having cruelly treated a horse. Mr. J. Wakeling, solicitor, of Clerkenwell, instructed by the secretary of the Royal Society, prosecuted, and in opening the case said it was another of those wanton and gratuitous acts of cruelty which were of frequent occur rence in the streets of London. Having briefly stated the Laois of the case, Mr. Wakeling called William Lennox Lascelles Fitzgerald de Ros, Lord de Ros, the Governor of the Tower, who stated that on the afternoon of the 6th inst., while passing through Duke street, St. James's, his attention was attracted to a cab driver who was driving a four wheeled cab up the street towards Piccadilly. The horse which was in a cab appeared to be a most willing animal and in very excellent condi • tion. The driver was holding the horse in so tightly by the reins that it could not go forward, as it appeared willing to do, and the driver was flogging it in a most brutal man- ner, and continued to do so the whole length of the street until he reached Piccadilly He (Lord de Ros) could not see the necessity for flogging the horse at all, and the act was the more cruel as the street was a steep ascent, and the driver, instead of giving the horse its bead, prevented its progress by curbing it in. He (Lord de Ros) spoke to the driver, and told him he would certainly give him into cus tody if he continued to flog the horse in that cruel way. The driver, however, turned his head away, no doubt with a view to escape identification, and appeared to be intoxi cated at the time. He (Lord de Roe) could not identity the defendant as being the man, but the number of the cab was 3,700, and the horse was a chestnut. Mr. Love, the chief officer of the society, said that after Lord de Ros had made the complaint at the society's offices he saw the defendant, and the defendant admitted that he ' was the driver of the cab 3,700, and that he was the man alluded to by Lord de Ros. The defendant also told him (Mr. Love) that he did flog the horse two or three times going up Duke-street, because it was obstinate, and put him out. He (Mr. Love) saw the owner of the horse in defendant's presence, and the character he gave defendant was that he was in the habit of getting drunk, and was a a bad tempered man. With regard to the horse, the owner said it was a very valuable animal, and did not require a whip to be laid upon it. Defendant said the horse ehied, but Lord De Roe denied this. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after making some severe remarks on the defendant's conduct, ordered him to pay 30s. and costs, or a month, tininness don. 110 9i 1091 1101 131 1 1071 7 zu MARYLE BON E. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF MIIRDER.—A respect. ably dressed man named John Cuilahan was placed at the bar before Mr, Yardley, charged with the murder of a man named Patrick Moore. William Stracy, 104 D said—About two o'clock on Sun day morning I was on duty at Molyneux-street station when a female fetche me to 25, NeNcnham-street, Lisson grove. On entering one of the rooms I saw a man on the floor and the prisoner standing over him in a fighting atti tude, knocking his fists together. I asked what was the matter, when he (prisoner) said, "I am only waiting for the b --- to get up, when I will smash him." I got him away to his own room and tried to lift the man from the fl , or and found he was quite h Ipless. I said previous to this the man was dying. Mr. Yardley—Did you observe any bruises ? Witness—Not at the time. With assistance the man Wts got on the bed, the prisoner assisting. At this time other police arrived. I sent for a medical gentleman, who said life was extinct. Prisoner was drunk. Prisoner—l sent for the police myself. He says when he came in he found me over the body. I was in my own row , • and when ha came he asked me to assist him, which I did. Mr. Yardley—Did prisoner make any remark when you said the man was dying ? Tracy—He did nut, sir. Lama Heathcote stated—l lived with the deceased as his wife. He was a shopman in Bond-street. Prisoner was very much intoxicated, and the deceased rather so. On Saturday nigh.• the prisoner asked us into his apartments, and we spent a very comfortable hour by singing. About, one o'c'ock we left his room to go into our own, when pri soner followed, end laid hold of my husband. I ran for the police, and when I came back I found he was dead. Mr. Yardley—Had they been quarrelling ? Witness—l can't remember. Mr. Yardley-0, nonsense; why don't you tell the truth. Did he take hold of the deceased in play ? Witness-0 no. Mr. Yardley—Was the prisoner in a passion ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Yardley—What did he say ? Witness—He said, "You —, I will give it you." Mr. Yardley—Tell me what passed between the prisoner and your husband P Witness—My husband and I werein our room going to bed, when prisoner entered, and my husband ordered him from the room, saying, " Get out you shoe-black." Before this Cullahan gave him a black eye Prisoner—You told m 4 you had seen your husband and my wife together in my room. WitnessL.-Only as neighbours. Prisoner—Did you not tell Moore not to be so familiar with other men's wives ? Witness—l did say so. Poisoner, and I ordered him out of the room. He did not like it, and got quarrelsome. I told him to desist sing- ing, and he would not, Prisoner—When he (deceased) was got out, I locked tht dolt., and he smashed the panel in with his foot. I ran alter him, and said, if I caught him, I would give him something. I sent my wife for a policeman The constable was recalled. and said he was certain pri•• soner was standing over the man in a fighting attitude. - Prisoner— I have seen hi wife throw him down stairs, and strike nim on the head with a poker. Mr. Thomas Charles Kirby, surgeon, said he believed death had been caused by disease ot the brain. ➢ir. Yardley remanded prisoner till Thursday next, to await the result of the coroner's inquest, but allowed him to ent'r into his recoplisance to appear on Thursday next. THAMES. A I'RECIOT.TS COUPLE.—John and Ann Mould, man and wile, were brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with being drunk and disorderly on Saturday night, in High street, Whitechapel. The male prisoner, a very young man, who described himself as a painter and glazier, was also charged with assaulting his wife in the station-house, Leman-street, and threatening police-constable No. 11 H. Nathan Nicholls, a police-constable, No. 36 H, sta-ed that on Saturd• y night the female prisoner was very drunk and disorderly in High-street, Whitechapel. A mob of disorderly persons collected, and the business of the street was interrupted. He begged of the woman to go home, which she refused to do, and halloaed, shouted, and screamed. She also threw herself on the ground and kicked and plunged violently. A scene of great confusion ensued, and the pickpockets began to work. The male prhflo who was not quite so drunk as his wife, tried o get he r away, but she would not listen to him, and insisteden go ing to the station- house. He procured assistan:et,hean nd macon veyed her to the station-home , .

There were 80 lots, exclusive of Lord S tamtord's brace of favourite., Bradgate (now white with i.ge) and the foxhound Albert, who will never be parted with. The special trains brought in a large number of persons of high rank from various parts of the country. Of the foxhounds Colonel Clewes has taken the greater part of the original pack, the remainder being bought in by Sir Watkin W. Wynn, Bart. The sale was to have taken place in the grass-yard adjoining the kennels, where a gallery was erected for the accommodation of visitors; but, in consequence of the large number of persons present, it was found insufficient, and an enclosure, octagonal in form, was made in the paddoAr adjoining. The sale commenced shortly after 12 o'clock Messrs. Tattersall presiding. Amongst the company on the ground wore the Earl and Countess of Stamford and 'Warrington, Count B.tikraoy Sir J. C. Fowke, Bart . ., Sir H. Clifton, Lord Macclesfield, Lord H. Bentinck, the Marquis of Hastings, Lord Berners, Colonel Marriott, Colonel Hood, Equerry to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales; Colonel Clewes, Duke of Buccleuch, Lord Middleton, Captain Duncombe, Lord Nacre, Sir F. Johnstone, Lord A. St. Maur, Viscount Ina gestre, &c. After Mr. Tattersall had commented on the fine stud to be presented, and intimated that it was the in tention of the Earl of Stamford to continue to subscribe largely to the Quorn Hunt, notwithstanding that he had resigned the mastership, the sale of the different animals was proceeded wi h. The fine appearance of the horses elicited general admiration, and the bidding was throughout very spirited. Colonel Hood, acting for his Royal High. ness the Prince of Wales, purchased Bentinek and Right Man, the former for 500, and the latter for 310 guineas. The Earl of Dudley gave 400 for Forester, and Lord Henry Bentinck the same amount for Phoenix, both capital hun ters Rocket was purchased by 'he Marquis of Hastings for 480 guineas, and Charmwood was knocked down to the same nobleman at the price of 460 guineas. Lord Middle. ton gave 310 guineas for Sultan, and Sir F. Johnstone be came the owner of Skylark for 310 guineas. Lord Stam ford's once favourite hunter Trumpeter had a reserve of 600 put upon him, and no offer in advance of that sum having been made, he was returned to his stable. The whole 80 lots realised 16,846 guineas, being an average o. 187 guineas each horse. A special exhibition of sculptures in ivory will be open to the members of the Archeological Institute, at the apartments of the institute, from Monday, June 1, to Sa turday, June 13, inclusive. ST MATTHEW'S SPRING , GARDENS.--The Right Rev. Dr. Ewing, Bishop of Argyll and the Isles, has been Announced to preach in the above chapel on Sunday morn ing next, when the annual collection for the expenses of the chapel will be made. It will be remembered that in the late Scottish Synod the Bishop of Argyll was the strenuous ad vocate for abolishing the " Scotch communion office," in order to make the Scottish Episcopal Church identical in doctrine and liturgy with the Church of England. SIR R. MAYNE AND THE CITY AUTHORITIES.— On Friday was returned to Parliament a letter from Sir R. Mayne to the Home Secretary, dated April 24, giving a narrative, from his point of view, of the arrangements, negotiations, &c , which preceded the entry of the Princes,.

He states that on the 28th of February he told a deputation from the Royal Re ception Committee of the City, that if they chose to follow the royal carriages after passing Temple Bar, arrange ments should be made to keep the route open; but this offer was met by an indignant refusal, and an assurance that the Lord Mayor could not appear anywhere but in front of the royal carriages.

DER IN ST.

SUDDEN DEATH IN PRISON.—An inquest was held by Dr. Lankester, on Saturday, on the body of Jesse Grath, who was committed to Coldbath-fields Filson from Worship -street Police -court, on Wednesday last, for begging. He was taken with illness soon after he was brought in, and died in the evening. The cause of death, as stated by the surgeon, was inflammation of the lungs. Verdict—" Natural death." Beyond the success of Asteroid in the Chester Cup, and his subsequent defeat by Buckstone in the Stewards' Cup, the racing ast week possessed no feature of interest. If Mr. Merry had started Buckstone in the former race he must have I eaten Sir Joseph's horse. No person who saw Stradella and Buckstone in their encounter at Newmarket will for one moment believe that it was the true form of the French mare, as she beat both Buckstone and the Marquis in a common canter, two of the beat horses in training. Haddington ran an extraordinary game horse, and but for the 101 b penalty he incurred by winning the Metropolitan, Mr. Jackson would to a certainty have carried off the great Cestrian prize for the second year in succession, as Asteroid was "all out" to beat him by a neck. The Bath Meeting, which is generally disastrous to seve ral of the Derby favourites, will commence to-morrow. The list issued by Mr. Reynolds comprises 12 items equally spread over Tuesday and Wednesday, and thoueh none of the Derby "cracks" are engaged, it is very probable we aball see what Baldwin is lade of, and get another peep at Bright Cloud, who was hardly up to the mark when de feated by Cerintha, at the Newmarket Craven Meeting; and besides these, it is not unlikely that Lady Augusta will run, as she is also engaged in the Biennial. The Weston Stakes and Two Year Old Biennial, have also mag nificent entries, and the Badminton Stakes has already be • come so popular, that it secured 27 nominations, and as the Bath and other handicaps have filled well, no fear need be entertained of witnessing those shortcomings which were last week so painfully apparent on the Roodeo. Toe field for the Three Y.?ar Old Biennial will very likely comprise Lady Augusta, Baldwin, Bright Cloud, Sauterelie, Escape, Stockbroker, 01. norchy, Judea, and Watford. With regard to Lady Augusta, Lord Stamford may very likely reserve her for the Oaks, and in that case the race will result in a match between Baldwin and Bright Cloud. From the heavy sums entrusted to Lord Palmerston's horse for the Derby he ought to pull through. For the Two Year Old Biennial I fancy Crytheia most. In the Bath evid Somersetshire Handicap John Day has three engaged, viz, Canary, Balham, and Portland. If the stable trust the former, he cannot lose after his running with Haddington in the Metropolitan, but as Ca naries do not always si❑g when wanted, I shall repose most confidence in BALTIAM to furnish the wi❑ner. The acceptance for the Bath Handicap not having been declared, I will merely point out that the Danebury repre sentative (either Canary or Balham) will be hard to beat. The County Members' Plate will likely fall to Sea Nymph or Souveraine. The Weston Stakes is even more interest ing than the Two-yr-old Biennial, for Molly Carew figures in the list .'f company ; but I am informed she will be an absentee. In that case the Glenmasson colt may atone for his defeat at Salisbury. The Welter Stakes may be placed to the credit of Judea or Tippler; whilst Livingston, Crytheia, and Golden Dust will in all probability be the most dangerous trio in the Badminton Stakes. The action for trespass brought by the Stewards of the Jockey Club against Mr. Wines (" Argus"), will be tried at the next Cambridge Assizes. Sergeant Ballantine has been retained for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C. will lead for the defendant. " NEATLY DONE." The expedition of Gen. Steele, in April, up Deer Creek, Mississippi, in pursuit of guerillas and sup plies, has been, says the New York Times, " one of the neatest things of the war, though we are sorry that some unnecessary damage seems to have been done to peaceful people on the route." There seems to have been abundance of this unfortunate draw back. The report states that upon landing, " Fergu son's brigands," a regiment of Confederate cavalry under Major Ferguson, " were visible in the safo distance, and from the time the expedition left until its return they were always in sight, but rarely near enough to get within reach of danger. If a man fell out of the ranks to do a little private stealing on his own account, and was separated a mile from the main body, he was sure to be picked up by these prowling guerillas; and in this manner probably not less than 100 men were lost during the march. The first plantation of note reached after leaving Black Bayou was that of Gen. French. In other days Steele and French were not only classmates at West Point, but they occupied the same root* and enjoyed relations of more than ordinary strength and intimacy. These facts, however, availed the rebel general but little, for his cornbins and 'fodder' were given to the flames, his horses and mules driven off with as little hesitation as if he had formerly been the deadliest enemy, instead of the classmate of our commander. After reaching Deer Creek and turning southward, the exp e di t i on passed through one o f th e most magnificent countries in the Union. The land is of the tatmostrichne ss , and is settled b y a populat i on whose palatial dwell ings and surroundings show them to be possesoed of wealth, education, and refinement. Each planta tion contains 500 to 5,000 acres, the value of which is nearly or quite double that of land in ally other portion of the State. Tait' feature in the value of the land is not owing entirely to 42 superior pro ductiveness, but much to the advantagua which ars supposed to attend the possession r:,l a property and residence in a cultivated and aristocratic commu nity. The houses era very large, built at came with a view to comfort and elegance; are surrounded with an endless profusion of floral ornamentation, and, in the costly furniture within, and substantial mills and outhouses and negro residences without, indicate the refinement and wealth of their owners. It was in this succession of teritstrial Edens that General Steele operated; and which by the aid of fire and other warlike institutions, were soon re duced to a level with common earthly dwelling places. I may say, in brief, that the national forces continued down Deer Creek a distanee of about 60 miles, and th en, cons:dering that his small force might be endangered from the rear, General Steele returned, having occupied three days in going down, and the same num b er in getting b ac k n the rebel to Greenville. The amount of d amage done region through which our troops passed will at a low estimate reach three millions of dollars. They brought i n , with them 450 mules, 100 horses, 34 yoke of oxen, 400 head of beef cattle, 30 waggons, 4,0001 b, of bacon, 70,0001 b. of sugar, and 500 ga ll ons of molasses, and about 1,000 slaves. They destroyed about 20 cotton gins, nearly the same number of corn-mills, 500 hogs, 100 tons of fodder, and 700,000 bushels of corn, The inhabitants along the route were nearly all at home, and of course very much frightened at the approach of our troops. Among all they found but one plantation belonging to Union men, and they had gone north soon after the breaking out of the war. Some of the balance were not virulent Secessionists, and confessed that in the beginning they had opposed disunion, but along with thou.. sands of others had been forced to afford a nominal if not an active consent to the movement. It may be said here that the cotton-gins, mills, &c., of the only Union family on the route were given to the flames, the same as those of others. In this case, as in nearly all the others, the ardour of our soldiers carried them away so much that they never waited for orders to set fire to a corn mill or haystack, but did it as a matter of course. The propriety of burn ing cotton-gins may be subject to dispute; but as Ferguson, in preceding our troops, set fire to all the cotton, it was thought advisable by the stragglers to make a complete operation by destroying the 4ins. The inhabitants along the route grumbled considerably ; both sid.g, they said, averred that the .bjc.c of their coming was to protect pcgceable citizens, and yet, between the two, they found themselves reduced to poverty. There was but one house burnt oa the route. This was unoccupied, although filled with costly furniture. The firing was done, not by order, but by some irresponsible soldiers. In coming back the people along the route were notified that we claim possession of the Mississippi to Vicksburg, and that, in case any more passenger boats are fired upon from Greenville, the entire country through which the Union forces had passed would be reduced to a desert. They all professed a desire to have this irregular system of warfare stopped, that they had frequently protested against it, and would, if pos sible, prevent its recurrence. Among the wealthy residents along the route taken by our troops is a Major Lee. His daughter, a few days before our landing, had surrendered to the invincible Fer guson, and at the time of our arrival the happy couple were enjoying the full spl e nd ours o f t h eir lune de miel. Just before our forces ireached her father's house, she mounted her swiftest steed, and, in company with her husband, fled before us with a success so decided that when our troops discon tinued their march she, by continuing her flight, managed to secure a place of safety, and also an in cident with which she can amuse the Fergusons of coming years. This Yankee cloud over her happi ness having rolled away, it is to be hoped that the balance of her honeymoon will be undimmed in its splendour." CURIOUS CASE OF POISONING. The Abeille Medicale states that a short time ago a scien ,fic gentleman at Berlin received a small quantity of the condensed juice of the Upae, and resolved to try the effects of it upon himself. One afternoon he accordingly took three grains of this drug, which he found very bitter and rather selfish. Immediately afterwards he felt extremely gab . a a bad headache which he had at the the alter a while he experienced a sensation of oppression 0 out. On Nevertheless, he had the imPnit'denco .

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. -0a Friday the usual weekly meeting of the board was held at the board-room, Spring gardens; Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. A report was received from the Streets Committee stating that having had under consideration various com munications from vestries and district boards, and owners of property, on the subject of the proposed Finsbury park, and also the report of Mr. Oakley. the surveyor, thereon, and having viewed the sites referred to in the Finsbury-park Aot, they are of opinion that the land, in extent about 120 acres north of the Seven Sisters'-road, east of the Great Northern Railway, and west of the Green-lanes, is the m eet eligible for the proposed park; and recommending that th e resolution of the board of tho 4th March last, definine, the land to be o btained for the park, be so far varied Its to ads a o b f l the to land e a s b r o e v p e o referred t on t t h o b eing r e a d itaken°il of the public k. the par tTh h eech au si b r j m eo a t n b s ei t u a g ted di t e h eu at ss t e h d e w ap ; .ith board closed door s, v We are ti n. , ed Of public of the committee,the rop er t inpo
