MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK: The requirements of the mercantile community continue on a rather extensive scale, but as the sup plies of capital, through the payment of the divi dends, show a slight increase, there is no percep tible difference in the charge fir accommodation. First class short dated bills are still negotiable at 61 and 6 per cent. The accounts from the various manufacturing districts for the past week have generally been of a satisfactory character. The dealings in both yarns and cloths at Manchester have been to an average e xtent, while the operations in spring goods in the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and lludders geld have been on the increase. In the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham a more cheerful tone has prevailed, while business in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton has shown a decided improve ment. An extraordinary general meeting has been con vened of the London and Provincial Marine Insurance Company, to give effect to a recommen dation of the board to issue the reserve shares of £ l , prem., ma ki ng t h e pa id- u p capital £ lOO,OOO . These shares are to be offered to those members 'Whose names shall stand on the register on the 4th May, in the proportion of two for every five then held. The proeeeds of the premium are to be carried to the reserve fund. The share list of the Sabloniere Foreign Hotel Company will close for Landon on the 18th, for the country on the 20th, and for the Continent on the 22d inst. The directors of the General Floating Dock Com pany have made a call of £3 per share. Notice has been given that the share list of the Imperial Bank of China will close on the 13th for london, and on the 14th inst. for the country. The new Swedish Loan has been formally an tounced. The amount required is £2,230,000, issued in a 41 per cent. stock at the price of 921. The bonds are to be for £lOO, £2OO, £5OO, and £l,OOO each', Payments can be made by instal 'tents extending over to next August, and subscrip tions mada in advance will be allowed a discount at the rate of 41 per cent. The proceeds of the opera tion are to be applied to the construction of rail. Rays in the Swedish kingdom, and it is to be re deemed by a sinking fund within 54 years. Two o'CLocK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 10c. Speenlators at the Stock Exchange still devote their principal attention to foreign securities and Miscellaneous and banking shares. But in the two latter descriptions the excitement recently noticeable has almost disappeared, and of course less business is new transacted in them, while their quotations k h ( rw a continued tendency to droop. The market for the English Fangs is steady, Consols being 918 t for money, and 91; 92 for the account. The New Threes are 891 ; the Reduced, 89/1; Exchequer 13111 °, 78. to 2s. die.; and India 5 per Cents., 1 041 104. In the Foreign Market there is more firmness, and business is rather active. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862 , are 711 s ; do. C•nisolides 52Z -8 ; Mexican have been 464 47, and are now 46b s ; Greek have '''Ben to 251 8 ; Spanish Passive are 35/ I; do. Ce rtificates, 13/ ; Portuguese, 49 s; and the Confederate Loan, 53 5 5 . Busines s i n t h e Railway Share Market has been rather inactive, and, in one or two instances prices have shown less firmness. Bristol and Exeter and Great Western have declined 10s. ; and North Western, Metropolitan, and South Eastern, Ss.; while Great Northern A Stock have improved .L 2 108. The Foreign and Colonial lines are in moderate favour at about previous rates. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue in fair request. Union of London realise 521 53; Euro bean, 11/ 124 ; Imperial Bank, 42; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 83. The following are the current quotations for some Of the principal new undertakings:—Financial Cor poration, 1/ 2-1 prem. ; Imperial Financial, 61 1 Prem. ; Imperial Bank of China, 2i 3 prem. ; Mill- Vall Iron Works Company, 21 prem. ; City Offices, 3/ 2 prem. ; Credit Mobilier, 51 I prem. ; Credit Foncier, 7-1 prem.; City of London Real Property, 2 3 prem.; Royal Swedish Loan, 1 2 Prem.; Thames Iron, 3 4 prem. ; Telegraph Con atruction Company, 1/ 2 prem. ; North Americar, C ompany, 1 1 prem.; International Land Credit C°l2l Pany, 2 prem.

A similar sword will also be presented to the Gjneral's son, Menotti Garibaldi. The presentation will take place in a box or gallery erected for the occasion at the north-west corner of the centre transept, immediately facing the Handel orchestra, and in full view of the public. Prior to the presentations a great Italian concert will be offered to the General by the principal artistes of the Italian operas. The concert will take place in front of the great orchestra, and from the warm sympathy evinced towards this manifestation by the celebrated artistes co-operating in the matter, the occasion promises to be one of great interest. The admission to the Palace on Saturday will be by half-crown tickets, if purchased on or before Friday, or by payment of ss. on the day. Such a limited issue of reserved seats as can be arranged will be ready for disposal to-morrow (Tuesday) morning. As it is considered impossible, even with the vast space at command at the Crystal Palace, adequately to accommodate on one day all who desire to be present, as well as those who wish to pay their respects to General 9aribaldi, and as it has been Garibaldi's earnest wish that one day more easily available to the mass of the people should be set apart for the reception of other addresses which are pouring in upon him from all parts, it has been arranged that the following Monday shall be a popular Is. day at the Palace, when Garibaldi will receive addresses from those places which he will be unable personally to visit. Notice has been officially issued that on Monday next, the 18th of April, General Garibaldi will receive, at the Crystal Palace, addresses from cor porate and other public bodies who have voted them in public meeting assembled. It is, however, stipu lated that no address can be presented by a deputa tion of more than six persons, and unless notice has been previously given of such address and presenta tion to the Garibaldi Reception Committee, at the Crystal Palace, not later than the evening of Friday next, April 15. It is also recommended that each deputation should carry a small banner bearing the name of the body represented, in order that the tens of thou sands of persona present should be made acquainted with the name at the time of presentation. The presentation of these addresses will take place in front of the great orchestra, an appropriate dais, with wide steps leading from each side, being erected for Garibaldi in advance. The profits arising from these great fetes will be devoted to the Testimonial Fund. It is anticipated that excursion trains from all parts will run to the Palace on this occasion. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD. The reelection of the Right Hon. E. Cardwell, the newly appointed Secretary of State for the Co lonies, took place at the Town-hall, Oxford, at noon on Saturday. There was a considerable assemblage of elector s. Mr. Cardwell was proposed by Mr. J. Pike, ma gistrate, and seconded by Mr. W. Walsh. No other candidate being nominated the right hon. gentle man was declared duly elected. FIFESHIRE. On Thursday Sir Robert Anstruther and Mr. Thomson addressed meetings in the coast towns of the south-eastein district of the county, and Mr. Boyd Kinnear spoke at Newburgh and Auchter muchty in the north-western division. On Friday all the candidates bad announced themselves to appear at Anstruther, being the market day there, and it was arranged that they should address the same meeting. Mr. BOYD KINNEAR opened the proceedings by , an announcement of his withdrawal from the con test. He said he had entered the field unaware that another Liberal candidate might appear; and he felt he could not accept the verdict of the leaders of the party who had declared for Sir Robert An struther, seeing he had made his appeal not to the leaders of the party, but to the constituency itself. But since two Liberal candidates had come forward it had given encouragement to the Conservatives to enter the field, and he felt that, while he should undoubtedly poll a great many votes, especially in the north-western districts of the county, where he was better known and where advanced opinions more prevailed, he should not be certain of success himself, but might render certain the success of the Conservative candidate. To any course tending to promote that result he could be no party, and he therefore now offered the support of the advanced Reformers to Sir R. Anstruther. Capt. THOMSON spoke next, expressing his regret at Mr. Kinnear's resignation, and his determination to conduct the contest in a fair and friendly spirit towards his hon. opponent and relative. Sir R. ANSTRUTHER thanked Mr. Kinnear for having studied the interests of the Liberal party rather than personal considerations, as he believed the only hope of the Conservatives gaining Fife was that the Liberals should be disunited. On Saturday, at Kirk aldy, both the candidates held largely attended meetings, the Liberal meeting under the presidency of the provost, being very enthusi astic. The Sheriff has appointed Tuesday, the 19th inst., for the nomination, and the day follow , sng for the poll, if demanded. It is fully expected that the Conservative candidate will go to the poll. Ia the course of the present week the candidate will continue their meetings in different parts of the county. The contest has hitherto been con ducted in an excellent spirit and with much inter change of courtesy.

THE LITTLE CORPORAL.—The Constitutionnel contradicts a statement made by some of the Paris journals that the Prince Imperial has been promoted to the rank of sergeant. The Prince, it states, is still corporal in the Ist Regiment of Grenadiers of the Guard. MARK-LANE. The country markets, held on Saturday, were dull both for red and white wheats, and prices ruled, in some in stances, the turn in favour of buyers. Scarcely any change took place in the value of spring corn or flour, but the de mand was far from active. At New York and on the continent the inquiry for pro duce on British account has continued restricted. The New York market has, however, shown more firmness, in consequence of several parcels having been taken for the British American provinces, The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were but moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 8,215 quarters of wheat, 3,337 barley, 29,496 oats, 1,400 beans, 5,816 linseed, 2,868 oilseeds, 2,350 maize, 10 sundry seeds, 215 sacks, and 10,302 barrels of flour. A small supply of English wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day in but middling condition. The trade for all qualities was in a most inactive state. Beans—the supply of which was very moderate—sold steadily at full prices. The market was but moderately supplied with foreign wheat. The demand, however, for all descriptions ruled inactive, yet no change took place in prices, compared with Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at late rates. Owing to the mildness of the weather there were but few buyers of malting barley, and prices were about is per qr lower than on Monday last. CURRENCY PER IMPERJAL MEASURE.

For the time of year, there was a full average supply of foreign stock on sale here to-day. The demand for it, how ever, was heavy, and prices were with difficulty supported. The arrival of beasts from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, were moderately good as to number, but their quality was not quite so prime as in some previ ous weeks. All breeds met a dull inquiry; yet, compared with Monday last, no change took place in the quotations. The best Scots sold at 4s 10d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,200 Scots, crosses and short horns; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds ; from Scotland, 225 Soots and crosses; and from Ireland, 90 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was tolerably good, and moat breeds came to hand in prime condition. Downs and half-breeds, in the wool, were in moderate request, at previous rates; otherwise, the mutton trade was heavy, at a further decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. Prime Downs and half breeds, shorn, sold at 4s 8d ; heavy Lincoln, 4s ; and prime small Lincolns, 4s 4d per 81bs. Lambs were in moderate supply, and sluggish request, at from 6s to 7s per Sibs, Calves moved off slowly at late rates—viz, from 4s 4d to 5s 4d per 81bs. The supply was only moderate.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn). IN RE SHARPE. This bankrupt, who was a retired major in the company's service, and formerly connected with a club at Aldershot, applied for his release from custody. Mr. Chidley appeared to oppose on several grounds, the most important being that the plaintiff had stated his debts at £2BO, whereas in fact they were much larger, as he was indebted to Mr. Johnston in a very large amcunt. The bankrupt denied this on the ground that it had been discharged by being inserted in the schedule under a former bankruptcy—that was in 1860. The proceedings under the former bankruptcy were pro duced, and it there appeared, but Mr. Chidley contended that the bankrupt still had an interest in property which had been mortgaged, and which related to the debt. His honour ultimately said he could not release the bank rupt until assignees had been chosen, and bankrupt should take advice, and see whether he was liable beyond the amount stated, as if so the petition must be dismissed, as an additional stamp would be required. IN RE W. H. COLE. This bankrupt was was described as of Seven Oakr, stationer, and this was a meeting for the consideration of discharge. . . . Mr. C. E. Lewis, for the assignees, said that this was a case of a very unusual nature. The court had given authority to the assignees to take criminal proceedings against the bankrupt, but he absconded, and it was not until Easter Monday that they succeeded in tracing him, and he was apprehended; but it so happened that Easter Monday was one of those days in which this court strictly closed, and it was impossible to get at the proceedings—the deed on which the charge was founded, or any papers, and the magistrate refusing to grant a remand, the bankrupt was discharged. The assignees had actually paid a reward for his apprehension. As the bankrupt had passed his ex amination the only course now was to adjourn the case sine die, and no doubt they would soon get hold of the bankrupt again. The case was therefore adjourned sine die. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DIFFERING IN OPINION.-GARIBALDI AND THE POPE. —Mr Wm. Pelham, a tall, well-dressed Irishman, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with behaving in a disorderly manner, and being drunk in Oxford-street. Albert Adams, 100 C, said that at a late hour on Satur day night, or rather Sunday morning, he was assisting in getting a man who had been drinking, and who had fallen, into a cab, when the defendantcame up and roughly pushed him aside, saying he was a doctor, As the defendant, who had been drinking, did nothing but stand looking at the other man, causing a number of persons to collect, he re quested him to go away, when ho began addressing the bystanders about Garibaldi and the Pooe; and then said he would knock his (the constable's) eye out. He then took the defendant to the station. The defendant said that he had been into a tavern, and there had been a difference of opinion between him and the other persons about Garibaldi's procession. He was ejected from the house, and thenhooted. He tried toto avoid the persons, and the foolish young man (the constable) took him instead of the others. The constable said the defendant began the disturbance by talking about the Pope and Garibaldi. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 10s. The defendant said he was satisfied, although the magis trate might not be, that the constable had not taken the proper person, but, notwithstanding, he would pay the fine. THAMES. CONVICTION Or A RUFFIAN.—Patz ick Maloney, an Irish stevedore, aged 21, of No. 7, Rosemary-lane, alias Royal Mint-street, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting Ann Barkley. The complainant said she was the wife of a police-con stable of the K division, and living at the Gun Bank station, Wapping. Last night she was passing along Ratoliff Highway in company with another woman, when the prisoner came in front of her, put one hand on her right shoulder and the other in front of her person in a very indecent manner. She pushed him away and called for a constable, to whom she gave the prisoner into custody. Emma Loker, the wife of a police-constable, confirmed the evidence of her friend. William Groom, a police-constable, No. 458 K, said at six o'clock last evening I took the prisoner into custody. I arked him why he assaulted the woman, and he said" I knew I did it. lam very sorry for what I have done. I have nothing to say to it." The prisoner, a rough, dirty, and dissipated-looking fellow, said " I had the dhrop taken last night, I don't know whatl did." Groom was recalled, and said the prisoner was a little the worse for liquor, but knew what he was about. Mr. Paget said drunkeness was no palliation or excuse for misconduct or a violation of the law. The prisoner had committed a very gross offence. A respectable woman passing along a public street was subjected to insult and outrage. Hs doubted very much whether he ought not to send this case for trial. The prisoner would be more severely dealt with at the sessions than he (Mr. Paget) could deal with him. It was monstrous that women could not pass along the public thoroughfares without being sub jected to insults and assaults from disorderly ruffians. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for two months. WESTMINSTER. A VERY BUSINESS-LIKE TRANSACTION.—A man, about 30 years of ago, who' gave the name of James Atkinson, was charged with begging. William Kelfe, an active detective, said that on Satur day afternoon he saw the defendant begging about Eaton square. He went up to a street door and gave a butler a letter, who returned it to him with sixpence. Witness then took him into custody. The officer handed two letters which he had found upon the defendant, to the magistrate. The first of these was as follows : " To all kind Ladies and Gentlemen,—The bearer hereof humbly begs pardon for asking your kind assistance under the following circumstances :—I am a young man dis charged from St. George's Hospital with an uncured abcess, brought upon me by a relapse in the rheumatic fever, which disables me from following my capacity of life, and has to obtain a livelihood for myself and three motherless children that compels me to ask the assistance of any whose kind heart will assist with ever so small a trifle towards four shillings I am weekly allowed from my last employer, and the smallest assistance will be most thankfully received by your most humble and obedient servant, JA "MES SI3IPSON." The second letter commenced as follows :—" To all kind servants," and finished with " yours respectfully," contain .. ing the same story as before. Mr. Self e (to defendant)—You were here last autumn, and were then committed. It was the same sort of story then as it is now. Defendant —I have been here before. Police —He had 14 days then. Mr. Selfe--You have a letter for the master or mistress of the house where you go, and a separate letter for the servants, both signed in a different name to the one you now give as yours. I have not the least doubt that you are making a regular trade of begging, and I shall there fore commit you for a month. CHILD BURNING IN ESSEX.—At the Chelmsfoad police court.on Friday, Harriet Devenish, 35 years of age, the w if e o f a gardener, living at Broomfield, Essex, was charged with wilfully murdering her newly-born child, and afterwards burning the body. It appears that on the night of March 11 two of her neighbours observed an unusually bright fire in the prisoner's kitchen, and looking :over the blind, saw her kneeling before the grate. At the same time they noticed a disagreeable smell, and knocked at the door, but the prisoner refused to open it. It was afterwards discovered that she had been delivered of a full-period child. Although a Burgeon proved, from an examination of some of the bones found under the grate, that the child lived before birth, he could not say it existed afterwards The magistrates committed the prisoner for trial for con cealment of birth. 130} 134 6 1031 3 44 109} 98s 8 53i • 1181 1 171 r 1.81 / P 991 _or SPORTING NOTES, The result of the City and Suburban Handicap was a severe blow to all the prophets. The three favourites — Veterinarian, Gordian Knot, and Jarnicoton—were never in the race. Wadlow's stable must have made a fearful mistake, seeing that Moulsey, a stable companion, beat him easily. Tom Fool and Summerside both looked in splendid condition. The former is a thorough rogue, and was evi dently handicapped out of the race, in comparison with Merry Hart and Jarnicoton. Mr, Brayley, one of the most honourable gentlemen on the turf, backed his horse at out side prices to win a large stake. The only race that the horse won last year was the Don Stakes, at weight for age, where he beat Jarnicoton by a length, and for this victory he was made to give the latter 131 b. The Metropoli tan was a great success for me, as the three I selected were amongst the five, and had not Lord Zetland been shut out, the judge would actually have placed them in the same order that I did in The Sun of last Wednesday. As it was, two of my three were first and secowl. The Newmarket Handicap, run to-morrow, will not bring out a large field. The heavily-weighted Asteroid is reported a certain starter. If any demonstration be made in his favour he ought to be kept on the right side. From the running of Bradamante in the City and Suburban he ought to run well forward. I stated last week that I pre ferred the chance of Summerside for this race, and if Mr. Ten Broeck supports her she will take a deal of beating. Guerilla, from the close race he ran with Isoline, receives occasional - support, and is almost certain to get a place, Farce has been nibbled at for the Chester Cup. He never won a race last year. He will represent the stable on this occasion, and is almost certain to receive honourable men tion. My opinion is that the judge will place FARCE 1 BRADAMANTE GUERILLA Crisis will win the Sweepstakes of 5 soya.; Scottish Cbief the Three-yr•old Biennial ; Carnival the Trial Sweep stakes; Lord Clifden the Claret; and The Ranger the Four-yr-old Biennial. A FRESH MAN. TATTERSALL'S-SATURDAY. Monday being the fixture for the commencement of the Newmarket Craven, an extra day for the heavy settling which must have inevitably follow such an important meeting as Epsom Spring was imperative, and accordingly Saturday was appointed for that purpose. The muster, however, was not so ?arge as might have been anticipated, and although a considerable amount of money changed hands, a heavy amount had to stand over for the ensuing week at Newmarket. Considering the paucity of members betting was spirited, several animals being heavily invested in for the Derby, while some little novelty attached to the Two Thousand, owing to the introduction of one or two fresh names. Fille de l'Air was very strongly fancied, and was supported on the quiet at 4 to 1; but 7 to 2 was the highest offer before business was entirely suspended. Sir Roger was backed to win several hundreds at 100 to 7, and left off at 100 to 8 offered, while his stable companion, The Chief, receded to 25 to 1, taken and offered. Almost the first bat booked was 20 " hundreds" about Lord Stamford's " repurchased " Acolyte, about whom frequent inquiries were made during the afternoon, at prices varying from that named to 30 to 1. Very little was done on the Chester Cup, the only bets that came under our notice being 20 to 1 to a pony about Lord Zetland, and 500 to 15 twice about Farce. Scottish Chief was very firm for the Derby, and that too without any especial demonstration, a cool thousand being got on very quietly at 15 to 2. The recent success of his stable companion in the City and Suburban Handi cap made Birch Broom a still better favourite than he was early in the week, 100 to 7 having been accepted about Lord Westmoreland's horse. Forager was again in his place, 1,000 to 60 having been booked twice, notwithstanding one or two futile attempts to depreciate him in the market. Among the outside division the Major, one of the three dead-heaters in the Metropolitan, was entrusted with most money, being backed to win something like £20,000, at 66 to 1. Lord Glasgow's and John Scott's "lots " were backed at 11 to 1 and 12 to 1 respectively ; and several place bets were also noted, which will be found in the sub joined list of closing prices : TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. 7to 1 aget Fills de I'Air (offered) 6to 1 agst Paris (offered) 100 to 8 agst Sir Roger (offered, take 100 to 7) 20 to 1 agst Acolyte (taken and offered) 20 to 1 agst Scottish Chief (taken) 25 to 1 aget Laomendon (taken) 33 to 1 agat Calista colt (taken) CHESTER CUP. 20 to 1 agst Lord Beaufort's Lord Zotland (taken) 33 to 1 agst Farce (taken) DERBY. 15 to 1 eget Scottish Chief (taken freely) 100 to S agst Birch Broom (offered, take 100 to 7) 14 to 1 agst Coast Guard (offered) 15 to 1 agst Cambuscan (offered) 100 to 6 aget Forager (taken) 25 to 1 agst First Flight (taken) 25 to 1 agst Blair Athol (taken) 25 to 1 agst Ely (offered) 60 to 1 agst Calista colt (taken to £7O) 1000 to 15 agst Major (taken freely) 1000 to 15 agat King John (taken) 1000 to 8 agat Midnight Mass (taken) 1100 to 100 agst Lord Glasgow's lot (taken) 1200 to 200 agst John Scott's lot (taken) 400 to 200 aget Scottish Chief being one of the first three (taken) 400 to 100 eget Coast Guard; being one of the first three (taken) 500 to 200 aget Any of Lord Glasgow's being one of the first three (taken and offered) CITY BETTING.—SATURDAY.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold la about the same price in London and Pario. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling,•, , ttandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1771 to 1761 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 631 percent. At these rates there is no profit on the importation:of gold froni the United States. A 1 etter from Sonderburg in the Patrie relates an incident of the bombardment ;—" The Prussians, who appear to be well acquainted with the interior of Sonderburg, threw into the principal street a quantity of large shells, all of which burst near the headquarters of the garrison. The alaemed inhbi tants hastily quitted their houses, each carrying pacpets of linen and kitchen utensils. I saw ono little girl who followed her mother, who was bend ing beneath the weight of a bundle of clothes and linen, while the child had in her hands a little package and some of her toys ; both were walk ing very fast, but in a moment after they stopped near a soldier, all covered with mud, who had come from the combat, and was preparing to re turn to it. The soldier was: the husband and the father of the., fugitive family. He embraced his wife and chila, and then hastily went off to join his ranks. He had scarcely turned away when a cry was heard; the poor child bad been struck by the splinter of a shell, which had completely torn her body open, and the mother was kneeling by her side: I turned my eyes towards where the father stood ; he was in the ranks, one hand over his eyes, and the other convulsively grasping his musket. A cart full of straw approached, and the body of the child was placed in it; the mother, forgetting her bundle, followed, weeping bitterly. Sonderbarg was not a besieged town; its five batteries, which are not yet completed, had not fired a single shot. The Prussians have therefore gratuitously co rn ., mitted an act of savage butchery such as hereafter will not be credited." "An cfficer, who has just visited the lines of Dappeil, says the France," writes th a t t h e Prus sians ua avthe present tiale, ra i se d any gThe parall e l s which they have traced out are of such a nature that they siegeworks. n cannot be of any utility except t o carry the attach. rel h r e not, p to in columns near to the enemy, and cannot in any case serve as a shelter to the breaching batteries. The Prussians evidently wish to attempt another coup de man: by means of improving their means of assault. If they fail, everything will have to be done over again. The Danes keep themselves on the defensive, sparing both their men and their ammunition." The Duke of Leinster is expected to arrive at his house on Carlton-house-terrace from Carlton House, his grace's scat in the county Maynooth. The Duke of Cleveland paid a visit to General E. Bouverie at Delapre Abbey, near Northampton, on his way to Itaby Castle, Durham. The Duke of Newcastle c3ntinties in a very weak state of health. It i s now feared t h at b u t slight hopes can be entert a i ne d o f hi s ultimate recover y. Since Thursday last the condition of the noble duke has been critical. On Saturday morning the bulletin transmitted to the Queen at Windsor, and to his Royal Higneas the Prince of Wale s a t S an d r i ngham, s t a t e d that the duke was rather better. Yesterday the telegrams were of the same enor.

Mayall, jun., the eon of the well-known photographer cf Argyll-place, Regent-street.
