NONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Cr; Y, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is less demana for discount accommoda tion to-day, and ay. easier feeling prevails, 3f,- per cent. being the rate for the best three months' bills. A further sum of £lO,OOO in gold was taken into the bank yesterday. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : 1863. 1862. Great Western £68,342 £67,831 i orth-Western South-Western Brighton Midland South-Eastern Great Northern Lancashire and Yorkshire.. Bristol and Exeter 6,992 7,189 North Eastern Manchester, Sheffield and Lincoln 1 6 ,332 14,605 Edinburgh and Glasgow Dutch Rhenish These returns are in most instances of an un • satisfactory character. Oa the North-Western there is a decrease of £582 ; on the South-Western of £989 ; on the Brighton of £997 ; on the South- Eastern of £1,270 ; on the Great Northern of £2,027 ; while the Midland shows an increase of £2,376 ; the Great Western of £5ll ; the Lanca shire and Yorkshire, of £3,038 ; and the North- Eastern of £2,242. Two O'CLOCK. At the first half-yearly meeting to.dsy of the shareholders of the Uniun Bank of Ireland, Mr. T. W. L. Msckean in the chair, the report submitted to the proprietors stated that notwith standing the depression in every branch of industry in Ireland, consequent on successive deficient harvests, the accounts showed, after paying all current expenses, a balance of profit amounting t 3 £823 7s. ld. to be carried to the next account. The arrangements for the establishment of branches in several parts of Ireland were not completed till last March. An extraordinary general meeting of the share holders of the Oriental Inland Steam Company was held to-day for the purpose of receiving a report from the chairman (Col. Grimes) of his investiga tions in India into the conduct of the managing director, and of a resolution requesting his retire ment from tne management of the company. The Netherlands Land Enclosure Company held its c leventh annual meeting to-day, Mr. G. P. Bidder in the cl:Aair. The report, which was car ried unanimously, stated that, in consequence of the unusually severe storm of the 19th and 21st December, 1862, which destroyed no less than 12 polders in the vicinity of the company's land, and occasioned great damage to the banks of the com pany, the payment of the half-yearly interest due this month on the 7 per Cent. Obligations could not be made. The Paris Three per Cent. Rentes, this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, opened at 67t. 1 Oc• 67f. 15c. ; firm, but inanimate. Soon after the commencement of business this morning at the Stock Exchange, an advance of per cent. was established in the English Funds, occasioned no doubt by the more pacific view now taken of political matters, and the continued exce.- lent accounts of the coops. The rise, however, was not maintained after the arrival of a telegram from the Paris Bourse, showing no particular movement i n the Rentes, and Consols receded to the prices which were current at the close of yesterday after noon, viz., 93 k for money and account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are at the enhanced price s of 93k1. The New 2k per Cents. are 771 ; and the 30 Years Annuities, 15k. The Indian 5 per Cent. Loan is 108 k 4 ; the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 107 ; the Debentures,loo 4. A further decided advance has taken place in the Foreign Market, and business is active. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 67 1; do.

In the Railway Share Market a firmer tone has prevailed, and several of the principal undertakings have been dealt in at slightly enhanced quotations. Caledonian have improved .£1; Lancashire and Yorkshire, and South Eastern, 102.; and Midland, 15a. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been no material change. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in some in stances at rather higher prices. National Provin cial of England have improved to 126 i; Imperia► Ottoman to 181 ; English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered, to 231 ; General Credit and Finance are dealt in at 2i 3 ; International Financial, at 91 ; Egyptian trading Co. have declined to 21; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam remain steady at 78 BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK.

In relation to dancing, Punch remarks that the old step that we now everywhere find going out, is the Door step. , A. whimsical dialogue, rather poorly illustrated, runs as follows : Doctor—There's not much the matter with him, but I think we must cut off his animal aliment. Master Tom (with intense alarm) —Oh I ma! will it hurt me?

SPORTING PROSPECTS—INVERARY.—Sportsmen are beginning to arrive at their boxes in all parts of the Highlands. The shooting prospects are everywhere ex cellent. Refreshing rains would, however, be beneficial to the young broods, as long-continued droughts often prove disastrous. The coveys are very wild, and strong on the wing, and not a bird is to be seen which will not ri se a hundred yards before. In Glonaray, Glencroe, Lochtynesicb., Lochaweside, Dalmelly, and all the other fine shooting ranges here, the prosptcta are reported to be unusually good. The birds are far advanced, in excellent condition, and very numerous. In the deer forest, superior stalking is anticipated. The fawns have been numerous. and fhi herds of deer are in a splendid condition, owing to the fine grez:ng season. So many flue antlered stags have seldom been seen, and heads of twelve and fourteen po!nts will not be diMeult to find. SMITHFIELD.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 30, 1863. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE JOHN LEE SCOTT. In this case his Honour passed the bankrupt's exami nation, and granted the order of discharge, but that deci sion was appealed against, ant the Lord Chancellor had directed that the matter should be referred back to the learned Commissioner for further evidence. Mr. Griffiths complained that the opposing creditor had not complied with the order of the Lord Chancellor to bring the matter to issue without delay, that the matter might be decided before the vacation, but the ord r had not. been drawn up, and consequently the case was not in his Honour's paper of business for the day, but the matter stood in the Lord Chancellor's list for the day. The bankrupt had volunteered to submit to any further examination, however searching, and to give every expla nation; it was therefore a very herd case that he should be prejudiced by the lathes of the opposing creditor. Mr. E. C Lewis protested against the irregularity of taking matters not in the list before the business of the day. It was a matter of constant occurrence, and led to great ieconvenience. He was engaged in a cause from 11 o'clock, and it was now 12, and he must ask the Court to proceed with the business on the list. His case had been adjourned till this day. His Honour said he did not see how he could proceed at all. He had decided on the ca.Re, as he was led to believe, on its merits. He was now told that his decision had been appealed against, but he had nothing before him to show that. Mr. Griffiths said there was no doubt of the fact, but the question was, who was to draw up the order. His Honour's decision was of vital importance, so that, if possible, it might be conveyed to the Lord Chancellor before his Lordship rose to-day. His Honour said he would not allow applications to in terfere with the regular course of the business of the day, but after the list of the day had been gone through, he would hear any arguments on either side.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. BOW-STREET. AN inrsu Row.—Daniel Smith, John Griffin, and Ellen Barber were placed before Mr. Hall, charged with assault ing the police. Police-constable 112 F said he was on duty last evening, near Parker-street, Drury-lane, when his attention was attracted by the female prisoner, who, being intoxicated, was dancing and singing and making a great disturbance. He went up to her to endeavour to persuade her to go home, when she commenced calling him anything but proper names, and as he was about to remove her from th• place she commenced fighting, and, on closing with him, she bit him in the band and on the knee. Griffin seeing the woman in custody rushed to the spot, and with a stick, which he held iu his hand, beat him so about the head that he thought his life was in danger. He then for a short time seized hold of b , th prisoners, when Smith came forward and attempted to rescue them. Some other con stables fortunately came up, and all three prisoners were conveyed t o the station, The constable's evidence having been corroborated, Mr. Hall asked the female what she had to say to the charge ? Biirber—Say to it. Why, that it's all false, and he knows it. Drunk indeed I Why, how could I get drunk when I hadn't anything to eat all day? (Laughter.) I've got a baby, and it's not likely I should get drunk. Mr. Hall—Then you say you were sober? Well, that only makes the matter worse. Barber--Oh, does it I (Laughter.) Then all I've got to say is, that I hadn't anything to eat, and having a baby— (laughter)—l don't think the drop o' beer I took could have taken effect of me. Mr. Hall—Well, Smith, what nave you to say to the charge? Smith—l wasn't in the street at all, so I couldn't have anything to do with it. (Laughter.) Mr. Hall—Aid I suppose, Griffin, you were not there Either ? Griffin—That's it, your whorship, I wasn't. (Laughter.) Mr. Hall—Then it's all a mistake of the policeman's, he was not struck at all, and the marks about his face prove it ? (Laughter.) Griffin—Well, I wasn't in the mess. I never hit him with a stick. How am Ito tell how ho got the marks on his face The police constable said he never lost sight of either of the prisoners for one minute after the row commenced. Barber—lt's not true that I was drunk. I have wit nesses to prove that I had nothing to eat all day. (Laugh ter.) Mr. Hall—l don't want to hear witnesses about what you had to eat. (Laughter.) I want to know what you had to drink. Barber—Well, nothing but a drop of beer, and I suppose the weather had some effect on it. (Laughter.) Mr. Hall—lt is very cowardly for three people to attack one man, and I shall fine you, Battier, 20s. or 21 days' im• prisonment, you, Griffin, to a month's impriconment, and you, Smith, to a flue of 30s. or 15 days' imprisonment. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES—WEDiusner. The glorious weather and the attraction of "the Stakes" brought together a large and distinguished concourse to day. To give a list of the company would be to include nearly all those members of the aristocracy who have fled from the metropolis to seek in cool sea breezes and the agremens of country houses, the rest so much needed after the fatigues of the London season. We observed his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Beaufort, the Duke and Duchess of Montrose, the Earl and Countess of Winchelsea, the Earl and Countess of Stamford, Earl and Countess Spencer, the Earl and Countess of Lincoln, the Earl of Derby, the Earl of Coventry, the Earl of Zet land, &c., while many of the "faithful Commons," released from senatorial cares, were more agreeably occupied in speculating on the different chances of Buckstone and the French mare, and whether Anfieli roaily was the certainty his party asserted. The Stakes have been shorn of much of their interest of late years from causes which it is not necessary here to and at the enclosure got is head in front, and won in a canter by two lengths; a bad third. A Handicap Plate of 100 sous, for 3-yr.olds and upwards. Craven Course. Mr. York's The Principal, 4 yrs, 7et 131 b (G. Fordham) 1 Lord Uxbridge's Microscope, 3 yrs, 6st 71b (car. 6st 81b) (T.

Betting---5 to 4on Buckenham, sto 2 agst Kingswood 6 to 1 aget Black Prince, and 10 to 1 agst the Principal.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our market to-day was fairly supplied with beasts in about average condition. All breeds met a dull inquiry; nevertheless, very little charge took place in prices com pared with Monday. The best Scots realised 4s. 10d. per 81bs. The show of sheep was moderately good, and the mutton trade ruled somewhat heavy, at barely previous rates. The extreme value of the best Downs was ss. per 81bs. Lambs were very inactive at a decline in value of 4d. per 81bs. The quotations ranged from 58. to Bs. per 81bs. Calves, the supply of which was good, moved off slowly at late currencies.

Mellows, when I complimented him on the sanitary advantages it may or may not possess. "I wish I had never seen the tow" " I " You ddon ' Mel t beows.long pe to it, Mr. Mellows ?" n! " Belong to it reatel "If I didn't belong to a better style of town than this, I'd take and drown myself in a pail." It then occurred to me that Mellows, having so little to do, was habitually thrown back on his internal resources —by which I mean the Dol phin's cellar. " What we want," said Mellows, pulling off his hat, and making as if he emptied it of the last load of Disgust that had exuded from his brain , before he put it on again for another load, " what we want is a Branch. The Petition for the Branch Bill is in the coffee-room. Would you put your name to it ? Every little helps." I found the document in question stretched out flat on the coffee-room table by the aid of certain weights from the kitchen, and I gave it the additional weight of my uncommercial signature. To the best of my belief, I bound myself to the modest statement that universal traffic, happiness, prosperity, and civilisation, together with unbounded national triumph in competition with the foreigner, would infallibly flow from the Branch. Having achioved this constitutional feat, I asked Mr. Mellows it he could grace my dinner with a pint of good wine ? Mr. Mellows thus replied, " It I coulde' t give you a pint of good wine, I'd—there—l'd take and drown ta t; it w c a o y m my self in a pail.

If I win be loses, if I lose he wins; but, in either case, the bank—which, in the present instance, is represented by the press—gains its commission. And there are other resemblances between the game of advertising and that of the green baize tables. If yuu must gamble, the first rule is—Go in heavily, and play high. In that event, y ull may wins great "coup ;" but it you go on with peddling stakes and a cautious system, you are absolutely certain to lose. So, if you must resort to puff a dvertising—advertise, every.. where and anywhere, to the utmost of your means, or your credit, and you will end in the House of Lords or—in the Gaeta. But if you trifle, with advertising, you will lose your money without a doubt. As the majority of mankind have not the courage to play a bold game in any pursuit, it is certain that, as a rule, advertisers make small veptures, and waste their substance foolishly,—Once a Week. Robert Dilke, foreman to Mr. Henderson, said that on Monday morning the prisoner came to the stables and said he wanted two saddle horses—one for himself and one for his brother—to go to the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, and that they were to be sent to 17, Blomfield-teirace, Padding ton, at 10 o'clock, where his father resides. He returned, however, about 9 o'clock, and mounted one of the horses, and wanted to take the other with him, but he (witness) re fused to let him have it, and sent a man with him. The prisoner took the man to the Strand on some excuse, and told him to go back and tell him (witness) that he would ride home one horse himself, but before doing so he changed horses, taking the most valuable one. He, however, never came back with the horse. The man sent with the prisoner by the lest witness said that the prisoner, on sending him back with one horse, told him that he would ride the other back himself, first Laving changed• horses, and then said he should go to Sydenham by himself, but that if he did not he would re turn wish the horse soon, but that if he went to Sydenham he would return to the yard at six o'clock. Thomas Jones, 274 D, said yesterday afternoon he went to Willesden, and in the evening, after searching for the prisoner, found him in a pleasure boat on the canal. He also ascertained that the prisoner had been there the day before with two horses, which he had been letting out in cheap rides to the school 3hildren at Willisden. On inquiry at the livery stables he (Jones) found that prisoner had had about 20 horses from different persons—sometimes out for four hours and sometimes for five. On searching his room he found a number of spurs and whips. Mr. Tyrwhitt inquired of the first witness the value of the horse taken from Mr. Henderson, and the witness Dilke said it was £BO. Jones said he also found that the prisoner yesterday bought a pound of sherbet and gave it to a man almost a stranger, and on asking the prisoner how he could have got to town without any money, he said that he should have ridden the horse along the towing path of the canal, and thus have avoided the toll gates. The uncle of the prisoner stepped into the witness-box, and on Mr. Tyrwhitt asking him whether he wished to say anything of the prisoner, he replied, "Nothing in his favour, sir." Mr. Tyrwhitt told the uncle the prisoner would be re manded for a week, when it is believed several other charges will be preferred. • M ARYLE B ONE. CRUELLY WORKING A HORSE.—ThOIIIaS Norman, a carman, was charged before Mr. Yardley, at the instance of Mr. W. Love, chid officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with the following cruelty to a horse : James Rutherford, one of the society's officers, said that he was in the Hampstead-road and saw prisoner in charge of a waggon containing a ton and a half of coal, having only one horse in it. Whilst under the railway bridge, and just before reaching the canal bridge, whichhas a very steep ascent, h e l as h e d t h e h orse mustbrutally, in order to make him " take the bridge" with such a heavy load. The animal made a dead stop, utterly unable to proceed any further. Witness remonstrated with him on his cruelty, and on looking at the horse he found whip marks under the belly and on the most tender parts. There was matter oozing from wounds on the shoulders and other parts. Mr. Yardley, who had seen the horse, said it was in a most wre ched state. Frederick Hubbard, coal-dealer, of 3, Ratlabone-place, Oxford-street, the owner of the horse, said he was not aware it was in so bad a state. _ Mr. Yardley—Nonsense, sir; don't stand there and tell me that. I never saw a horse more sensitive in my life. It is impossible to touch the poor beast without its showing pain all over its body. It is a scandalous shame, and 1 shall fine the prisoner 10s. and in default of payment seven days hard labour in the House of Correction, and, Rutherford, if the master does not pay the fine take a hum mons out against him for sending a horse out in such a state. The master paid the floe, and said he would have the horse destroyed. THAMES. TAKEN IN AND DONE FOR.LA poor man, named Weaver, came betore Mr. Partridge and stated that he pur chased the duplicate of a chain, which was represented to be gold, of an acquaintance, and redeemed it. He had since taken it to Mr. Carpenter, a very respectable pawn broker, in the Cannon-street-road, St. George-in-the-East, who said the chain was only silver, and electro-plated with gold on the surface. He gave 3s. for the duplicate. The chain was in pawn for V 165., and it cost him in all three guineas. He believed it was only worth a few shillings. Mr. Partridge—l cannot help you at all. You have made a vary bad bargain indeed. Applicant— I have indeed, sir; I have been taken in and done for. Mr. Partridge—l should think that chain is only worth a few shillings. A pawnbroker's assistant in court said the utmost value of the electro plated silver chain was 15s. Th e applicant said he was very much surprised that any pawnbroker should lend 668. on a chain only worth 15s. Mr. Partridge—lt does seem very strange, indeed. I cannot help you, but if the person who sold you the dnpli cate is worth powder and shet you can proceed against him in the County Court. I have so jurisdiction in the case. MUNIFICENT LEGACIES. —The Edinburgh Courant understands that the late Mr. William Luke, of 4, Grove-street, who died on the 19th ult., has bequeathed the following legacies to the under-mentioned educational and c haritable institution s, viz. :-1.

THE NATURE PRINTING PROCESS i 8 thus briefly described by a writer in the London Review:—Between a folded sheet of paper, well covered with printer's ink, the leaf or seaweed is placed, an d the folded paper and its con tents then are placed in one of the little wooden presses between soft leathers and rolled with a wooden roller. All the ribs, veins, and prominences of the leaf are thus inked over. Now, if the inked leaf be placed on paper and rolled in the same manner, it yields of course an impression of iteelf, and gives an imprint of its finest parts, MARLBOROUGH - STREET. CHARGE OP HORSE-STEALING AGAINST A BOY.— Charley Edwin Fennell, a respectable-looking boy, 14 years of age, and living at 17, BlomfiAl-terrace, Paddington, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a horse of the value of £lOO, the property of Mr. Henderson, job roaster, of the Grosvenor Riding School, South-street, Park- enter upon. The general opinion that this year's entry was of an in different quality was borne out by the fact of no ono animal being prominently in the betting until Anfield came with a rush, on the strength of a very favourable trial with Stanton. Messrs. Payne and Greville are gentlemen who do not often make mistakes, and the public endorsed their judgment by elevating their horse to the Premiership. This post he continued to hold through good and evil report, though Bellman trod close on his heels. The Wasp gelding was held in high estimation by his stable, and Balham had his friends. The result was a blow to the gentb men, the win ner turning up in an extreme outsider, Blackdown, a colt who had been tried very high with Bally Edmond, but the secret had been so well preserved that up to the last moment his friends were able to obtain a remunerative price about him,* Bellman and Zapateado, as will be gathered from the account of the race given elsewhere, broke down. The Findon brought 12 young ones to the post, and an interest ing contest resulted in the victory of Paris, who had been satisfactorily tried with the Clown. Linda represented Mr. Naylor's stable, and was in immense demand, but she could never quite reach Paris, whose victory was the more surpris ing as on his last appearance in public he ran a very mode rate animal. Tomato was reported a little off, which will account for the figure she cut in the race, Macaroni's ap pearance in the Drawing-room Stakes was of course an event. The winner of the Derby looked and went splen didly and had the race in hand, despite his penalty, from the first, winning easily by two lengths, The following are the full details of the racing, which commenced with The Goodwood Derby of 25 soya each, 15 ft, for 3-yr-olds ; colts Bst 101 b, and fillies Bst 71b.

In this answer Mr. Bruce has either avoided the question put to him—which was, whether Mr. Walmesley would be prosecuted for the false entries made in the register—or he is wrong in his view of the law. For Mr. Walmesley has clearly violated the 29th section of the act referred to, which adjudges any one to be guilty of felony who know ingly makes a false entry in a parish register; seeing that he has registered the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Hulin as that of a bachelor and spinster, he at the time knowing that they were legally man and wife. He cannot even shelter himself behind the provision of an act of Parliament passed since the occurrence of the Grey well case, and passed for the purpose of meeting the views of High Church clergymen, who are shocked at the idea of contracting a marriage without any religious service. For the 12th section of the Marriage Act passed on the 29th of July, 1856, provides, that if the parties to any marriage contracted at a registry office shall desire to add the reli gious ceremony of the body to which they belong, they may present themselves to a minister of that body for the pur pose. But it is expressly provided, that the Superinten dent Registrar's certificate of marriage must be produced, and "nothing in the reading or celebration of such service shall be held to supersede or invalidate any marriage so pre viously contracted, nor shall such reading or celebration be euterd as a marriage among the marriages in the parish registry." As to the off-hand official assertion, that if the first marriage was valid, " everything that happened subse quently was null," it may satisfy Churchmen, but it will not satisfy Nonconformists, who are the best judges as to the mischievousness of such proceedings as those of the vicer of St. Briavel's. With much difficulty they have suc ceeded in securing the right to celebrate their marriages in their own places of worship, instead of in those of the Es tablishment. They know by experience how assiduously Churchmen try to prevent persons availing themselves of that right Is it likely, therefore, that they will quietly allow a public functionary, who is bound to respect and uphold the law, to break the law for the purpose of casting contempt on Nonconformist marriages, and producing the impression on unthinking people that they are neither sanctioned by the legislature, nor can be followed by the blessing of Heaven ? Fortunately, what the Government declines to do may be done by others ; and, without wishing for any resort to vindictive proceedings, we hope that this case will be vigo rously deal - with by the Committee of Dissenting Deputies, who did good service by their proceedings against Mr. Lush in 1856. It is more than a matter of feeling which is involved ; for the greatest practical evils may arise if tile clergy of the Establishment are allowed with impunity to make delusive entries in our parish registries.—(From the forthcoming volume of the Liberator.) Mr, Gladstone's Chance of Becoming Leader of the House of Commons. Mr. Gladstone's management of the House of Commons closely resembles the Irishman taking his pig to market than any other kind of leadership. The want of sympathy between him and his audience shows itself very strikingly. He cannot bring himself to understand an Englishman's aversion to crooked ways, either intellectual or moral. His performance upon the night on which the Exhibition build ing was disposed of has left behind it, in the minds of num bers of men, doubts of his political honesty which it will take years to efface. Yet it was a blunder which a genuinely dishonest man would never have committed. A man who had been accustomed to practise upon the credulity of his fellow-men might not have been afraid to induce an assem bly to purchase a bit of land which was heavily encum bered, by the assurance that the title was clear from all encumbrance; but he would not expose his own trick to his mortified dupes within a fortnight of its success. It was eminently the proceeding of a man who had every desire to be honest, but who had so crocked and warped his own mind that he had become unable to discern whether a given course of conduct was or was not likely to offend other men's moral perceptions. All these defects intensify each other in the minds of those whom they affect. A very large mass of the House of Commons are offended by the extreme superciliousness of manner with which Mr. Gladstone treats every opposition that threatens to be formidable. He treats the house as though he seemed in all good faith t o b e li eve that his supercilious objurgations are gentle and dignified remonstrances. His E erceptions upon this subject are so strangely blunt, that it is difficult to shake off the imP rts sion that he learnt his present styl e o f spea ki ng i n some previous state of existence, when he was in the habit of ad dressing other Gladstones formed like untu himselt. It would seem that these wonderful beings decidedly liked being snubbffl in the tone in which the usher of a country school rebukes his little boys, and found that an abundant garnish of unnecessary words was rather an assistance to them than otherwise in comprehending the statemen: a o t . simple matters of fact. But there is no immediate p b this height bility that an English assembly will attain to t" . either of tolerance or of perception. A considerabled e against num ber in the House of Commons again bear a g him for the harshness with which his legislation directed against their class interests. grudg e against been however, are These, e e to avow very grounds of dislike which men do not care wear away if openly ; and possibly they would g in they were not supported by othersvig they add no little in►ensity to sins against direct and straightforward and to the force with which Lord Palmerston's popularity of kind to the virtues of hisp has become a second naturetero his professed sup blind ' ness to his many ore respectable. But vigilance with which his th f: r ward dealing are detected, are denounced. Just as of manner makes men very the schoolmaster tone that to Mr. Gladstone prevents even from affecting the slightest -PoliticalP" failures.—Saturday Review. SLLEas' MATCH POR £2oo.—The exciting sc i c : rs ' mutch for £lOO aside, between Robert Chambers, champion of the Thames and Tyne, and Robert Cooper, was decided on the Tyne on Tuesday evening, in the presence of a large muster of spectators. The race was rowed in outrigged boats, the distance being from the high Level -bridge to a boat, moored off Waterson's Gate, about one mile. A vast deal of interest was centred in this contest from the well-known speed of the champion, and the fine rowing power displayed by Cooper in his late race on the Thames with Everson ; while the hollow manner in which ha defeated Tagg in a mile race on the same day in which he beat Everson induced his friends to back him freely at the odds of six and seven to four, which were laid upon Chambers. At the appointed time the men rowed cff to their stations, Cooper, who won the toss for c hoice, taking the north side. A very even start was effected, and at the end of WO yards Cooper was leading by half a length, and maintaining his positiOn throughout, finally won by nearly three boats' lengths, thus lowering the champion's colours on his own favourite water. THE MAJORITY OF OUR ORCHESTRAS, growls a I fastidious Saturday Reviewer, consists of men who scrape and blow at so many shillings per hour ; and when they have seraped and blown the settled quantity, and have got their pa), they are sati:ified. They have little love or feel ing for music as such a tailor has no ardent passion for trousers in the abstract, and a grocer can feel no senti ment for sugar. They call themselves " artists," but they are mechanies, and the result is just what might be looked for. M. ALEXANDRE DintlAS has written a new piece, " L'Atni des Femmes," which will be played in Paris Pt the Gymnase, MR. WALTER MONTGOMERY. This gentleman assumed, on Tuesday, the arduous character of Hamlet, and very considerably en larged his previous favourable impressions. If we were forced to think his Othello was not sufficiently inspired by passion, the same defect was to be de tected in his present impersonation—but, of course, rendered by its different medium infinitely less imperious. To Othello, passion is truth—want ing that he is no reality, but the double sided Hamlet, who, equally compounded of thought and feeling, so marvellously reflects the human mind, allows an actor great scope on one side, who might be wholly wanting on the other. Accord ingly the Hamlet of Mr. Montgomery, if not dis tinguished by its emotional, may claim no ordinary credit for its reflective characteristics. If not suffi ciently electrical, it is full of thought and judg ment, exhibiting the evidence of a very close and careful study of the poet, and in the present state of our stage is entitled to be accepted as a sound Sbakesperian contribution. Mr. Montgomery's best scenes were those with Ophelia and the Queen, in both of which he rose to expressions of great vigour ; the reference to Pulonius in the first, especiAly, striking us to be new as well as impressive, whilst his climax to the play scene had a most adequate intensity. We could refer also to a variety of points in the per formance which were ingenious, if not correct. Oa the whole, this was an achievement that entirely justified the impression it produced upon the audi ence, who were frequently aroused by it to great applause, and who further evinced their feeling by calling for Mr. Montgomery at the close of each of the acts. We have only to add that he was very worthily supported by Mr. Marston in the Ghost, the very best that we remember, by Mr. C. Verner . in the King, and by Mr. Belmore in the Grave digger. The Volunteer Review at Wimbledon. Horse-Guards, 24th July, 1863. My Lord,—Having reviewed the volunteer corps of the metropolis and its neighbourhood at Wimbledon on Satur day, the 18th instant, I have pleasure in stating that I was well satisfied with the general efficiency of the corps then assembled and a ith the drill of the battalions. I directed the force on the ground to be divided into two corps—the one, the attacking body, under Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, who was assisted by Major-General Taylor, and Brigadier-General Bates in charge of Divisions ; the other, the defending body, under Major-General Lord Frederick Pilule. The former force was composed of five brigades, commanded respectively by the senior officers of volunteers on the ground—Lord Colville, Lord Ranelagh, Lord GrosvenOr, Lord Bury, and Lieut.-Col. Bigge. The latter, of three brigades, com manded by Lord Elcho, Lord Radatock, and Lieut.. Col. Brewster. posted in the hollow g the round at The western attacking extremity o f vas the common towards Comb(); the defenders took up a position near the furthest firing .t butts. Having been attacked in front by the brigades under Brigadier-General Bates, the force under Lord Frederick Paulet retired behind the ravine, taking up a fresh position. Sir J. Scarlett then brought forward his right wing under 11 ajor- deneral Taylor, throwing forward two brigades as a fu m e movement. Upon this, Lord F. Paulet's three brigades changed front, throwing back their left, and posted themselves across the Common with their backs to the grand stand ; Sir J Scarlett moved his three brigades to the right, forming with them a second or supporting line to the two brigades which had made the flank movement from the right. At the end of the field-day the whole of the troops marched vast in quarter distance columns before returning to their quarters. I was much satisfied with the excellent fire maintained by the battalions in line, and I thought that the men showed great aptitude in skirmishing. The artillery was efficiently handled, and the heavy batteries seemed to move with considerable facility. I was also much satisfied with the efficiency of the two horse-artillery guns, and the field battery belonging to the Honourable Artillery Company. I think it would be desirable on future occasions to im press upon the several corps the necessity for greater punc tuality in the time of reaching the drill-ground. The hour specified for the commencement of the evolutiens was 5.30, but it was 6.45 before it was possible to commence opera tions, very few of the corps having reached their destination before that hour. The delay and inconvenience caused by this want of punctuality was very great. In conclusion, I can only express my satisfaction at the zeal with which all the ground carried out the instructions they received ; and I have a firm conviction that the volun teer force is becoming a very efficient body of men, and valuable as a great auxiliary to the regular army of the country. —I am, my Lord, yours, (Signed) The Right Hon.

The St, Briavel's Re• Marriage Case. In 1855, the Rev. A. Lush, curate of Greywell, Hants, prevailed upon a couple, who had been married at an.lnde pendent chapel fourteen months before, to be re.marri . cd by him; the parties being described in the banns, and in the register, as a bachelor and a spinster respectively. For this offence against the law be was com . mit.ed for trial at the Winchester assizes; but, in ths interimihon e thought it proper to confess his error, and the prosecut was abandoned. In his 'Apology, he acknowledged the validity of marriages performed either in dissenting chapels or before Superintendant Registrars, and also that they were " binding in the sight of the Church." Another clergyman, who has either forgotten these facts, or who is determined to brave the penalties of the law, has, it would seem, just committed a similar offence. On the 21st of June, a young couple were married at the Independent chapel, Monmouth, the man being an Episco palian, and the woman a Baptist. Eight day after, the vicar of St. Briavet's, Coleford, the Rev. H. Walmesley, re-married them; describing the man in the register as a bachelor, and the woman as a spinster, and entering the woman's maiden name. The Government having been questioned by Sir Morton Peto, whether they intended to prosecute the offander under the 4th of Geo. IV. c, 76, s. 29, Mr. Bruce, the Under Se cretary of State, has replied that-- " He did not think that the conduct of the vicar in ques tion was such as to make him liable to prosecution for felony under the Act 4 George IV., c. 76. Either the first marriage was valid or it was not. If it was valid, then all that WLS done was superfluous, and could not be the subject of prosecution. If the first marriage was invalid, then everything was properly done. It was clear the conduct of the vicar was not an offence against the law. It might be an offence against good taste and good feeling, and as such to be condemned." SPORTING lE.—This D GOODWOOD RACES—This DAY. ET ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH , SWEEPSTAKES OF 50 SOVS.

Piccolomini, the which this comic heroine has forth i i s s whilst she shares only Artot the pecu liar refinement she exhibits, her • Lind,performanceand infinitely superior to that of Jenny sufficient reason, that Madlle. Patti is a neat a ctress, and Jenny Lind wa s not. Like Medlin . A rtot, our unequalled favou rite rather idealises the Daughter I of the Regiment than presents her as a great reality —making her the idol of her gallant guardians rather than their actual companion emu and this ver sion, howe ver pleasing, we think ch more i n accordance with a refined taste than a just perception. It is a drawing-roam view o f Maria, which we confess we cannot prefer to that of the girl of the open air. Its success, however, was indisputable, and not less the attractive man ner in which she delivered her two great arias— the spirited "Ciascun lo dice," that was very ardently encored, and the pathetic " Convien partir"—in which Maria bids adieu to her companions, and which she distinguished, on the other hand, by a most touching depth of feeling. ID the lesson scene, of course, she was peculiarly at home, and lost no opportunity to display the florid marvels of which she is such a mistress. Madlle. Patti was well supported by Signor Ciampi in Sulpizio, who sang and played with more than his usual nature, as well as spirit— , Signor Baraldi, in Tonio, whose singing was irre proachable—and Madame Tagliafico in the Coun tess, which was a very agreeable effort. The band and chorus, as usual, stand in no need of our praises. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. INTELLIGE as his t I cy. apt ich er- he it ,ne by re- ❑g iut if ist at ISO !~ 1
