MONEY MARKET AND COAIMEILCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELTE O'CLOCK. The change that came ever the aspect of monetary affairs yesterday has produced a very favourable tone in the Money Market. The symptoms, which before were hardly discernible, aro making them eclves felt in full force. Capital is not so abun dant, and the public are ❑ot so eager to obtain ac. cormnodation, lest higher rates should prevail. The brokers have therefore been compelled to offer the concession of s per cent, by granting assistance on the best bills at 81 per cent., but the boon is still too small to induce the commercial classes to come forward and ask for more aid than they immediately require. A further sum of .£25,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. But,iness in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days has been very inactive. Sugars have declined about 6d per cwt., while the operations in tea have been limited at about former rates. Coffee has been in moderate request at steady prices, while in rice, fruit, salt petre, and tallow, the dealings have shown no mate riel alteration as regards values. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap. pointed Friday, 16:h inst., a special settling day in the shares of the Maritime Credit Company Limited (for transactions entered into on and after the 16th Jane). To be marked in the twice a week list. It is notified that the lists for applications for shares to be allotted to the public in, the Credit Foncier and Mobilier of England will be closed on Saturday next, at 3 o'clock, for London, and on Monday, the 19Lh instant, at 12 o'clock, for the country. Two o'CLocic. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Reuterts telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were quoted 66f. 75c. Little doing. Steadiness is now the characteristic of the Stock Eichango markets. The English Funds are being readily purchased, and there is oonsequently a daily advance reported in the quotaticn3. The improve. went this morning has represented rather more than I per cent., Consols for money being 886 }, and for the account, 884 1. The Reduced Annuities and New Threes are 864 ; Exchequer Bills, 255. to ss. die. ; and India 5 per Cents. 1031-, 104. There is no new feature in the Foreign market, and business is dull.

In the Railway Share Market there has been rather less animation, and prices have shown a slight decline, South Eastern have receded 15s. ; Great Northern A Stock, London and Blackwall, North Western and Metropolitan, each 10s.; and Great Eastern and Brighton, ss. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings exhibit little change of importance. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue inactive, at about former quotations. BRITISII FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK.

A TICKET-OF-LEAVE MAN AT WORK AGAIN.—Tho men, named William Steed and George Gavin, the former a ticket-of-leave man, were charged with attempting to steal a watch of the value of £5, from the person of George Puddy, a bootmaker, of Hatwood-street, Camden Town. Henry Dawson, 201 A, while in company of Shrives, KG, last night, about 11 o'clock, saw the prisoners in the Ilaymarkut. They walked as far as Charing-Cross, and stopped a gentleman and spoke to him. The gentleman walked on, and the prisoner than went back to where Daw son first saw them, and afterwards to Regent-street, when they stopped in front of the prosecutor, and asked him the way to Soho-square. Dawson walked towards the pri- Foners when he saw the prosecutor seize them and call cut " Give me my watch—police." Tho prisoner Steed having while speaking to prosecutor drawn his watch out of his pocket. Dawson then took Steed into custody, and Gavin was taken by Shriver; and while on the way to the station Steed, by a sudden jerk, released himself from the hold of Dodsworth, 338 A, to whom ho had been given ov r, and struck him several violent blows in the mouth with his fist evidently with the intention of making his escape. Mr Tyrwhitt said he should send the prisoners for trial, and perhaps a bill might also be preferred against Steed for the assault. Steed, in a most impudent tone, said that perhaps he should have to prefer a bill against the police. Mr fyrwhitt asked the prisoners whether they wished to say anything ? Steed replied " It ain't no use." Mr Tyt whitt committed the prisoners for trial. Dawson said that Steed had undergone penal servitude and was at large on a ticket-of-leave. The prisoners, who aro well dressed men, are, from their determined demeanour in court, evidently very dangerous `ellowe. ALLEGED EXTENSIVE ROBBERY DV A CONFIDENTIAL SERVINT.—Reuben West, having the:management of the business of Mr Edward Pratt, hatter, &c.., of 37, Old Bond street, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stealing 80 hats and 4 umbrellas of the value of £5O, the property of his employer. The evidence was far from perftct, and Mr Tyrwhitt re manded the prisoner for a week, and consented to take bail for the prisoner's future attendance. WESTMINSTER. A CHILD CUTTING HER THROAT.—A very comfortably clad, well-grown child, named Sarah Keefe, was charged with cutting her own throat with a razor. Mrs Ann Baldwin said that she lived at 6, Wimpole mews, Cavendish-square and was at present taking charge of her sister's house, 29, Stanley-street, Pimlico, as she had gone with her hasband into the country for a few days. The prisoner was their servant, and having heard that her aunt was gone out of town on Saturday, began crying about it, and nothing would pacify het. She was much distressed in mind apparently on both Sunday and yesterday morning, and declared that sho felt herself so miserable that sho did not know what to do. Mr Selfe—Did she say what made her feel so miserable ? Witness—She said she was thinking about her dead mother, and now her aunt had gone away. Mr Selfe—When and how did she cut her throat ? Witness—Yesterday, at dinner-time, and with a razor. I heard her go upstairs just before, and I called her to come to her dinner, and receiving no answer I sent my little boy up. When he got into her bedroom ho saw her kneeling on the floor, with her head upon a chair, and the blood was oozing from her throat, which was cut. My little boy came down very much alarmed, and I sent immediately for a doctor. Wi'ness was core so overcome that she fainted, and was &aged to be removed from the court, William King, 257 B, said that at half past four o'clock yesterday afternoon ho was sent for to the house, and the two razors he produced were given to him. lie found the child with her throat cut, and a doctor had been there and dressed it. Mr Selfc—Where has she since been ? Witness—After taking her to St George's Hospital I conveyed her to the workhouse, where they kept a watch over her un!il this morning. Mr Selfe—Has the child neither father nor mother ? A private of the Fusileers said that her father and mother were both dead. Her i other had been dead 10 years aid the mother 2 years, the latter being deranged. Wit ness's aunt then took charge of the child and got her her present situation for her food and clothing. Mr Selfc—What is her age ? Witness—Between 12 and 13. Mr Selfe—Let hor be taken back to the workhouse for the present, and I should like to see the medical officer there when he has examined her. THAMES. ATTEMPTED lIOI7BE ROBBER' EY A TICKET OP LEAVE MAN IN SIIADWELL.—John Wilson, a ticket of leave man, was charged before Mr Paget with entering the house No. 52, lEol.st:cot, for the purpose of committing a robbery. Sergeant Cox, K 46, stated that yesterday evening, in consequence of information, he went to the house in ques tion, Kith another constable. Whe❑ he got in he saw the prisoner, who instantly ti lid to conceal himself, Witness at the same time saw another man, who, upon observing witness, ran upstairs. He was followed by witness into a room. When he got into it he jumped through a window on to the roof of a shop, and then leaped off to the ground, a depth of about 20 feet. Witness went after him through the window, but no further. He then ran across a garden and was attacked by a dog. He, however, got away. The prisoner was taken into custody by another constable. Police-constable 4SB A, who took him into custody, pro duced several skeleton keys, a jemmy, a pallet, which were found on the prisoner. Mr Paget asked if the prisoner was known, when the constable stated that ho was a ticket-of.leave man, and that ho had received siz years' penal am vitude, and had only been out of prison two months. He believed it was the in tention of the prisoner to get into the rector's house, which is adjoining. The priSo nor:was sent for three months to the House of Correction, MARKETS—This Day.

SUGAIL—Tho market has continued very dull, and a decline of 6d per cwt may be quotei in most descriptions. In the Ittfined Market lower quotations aro also current. Itten —A moderato inquiry has prevailed for East India at about previous quotations. TALLUNT.—Business bas remained very inactive, and quotations are a shade flatter. P.Y.C. on the spot is quotod 435, last three months 42s 9J, and January to March, 44s to -14 s 3d par cwt, Shocking Scene after the Execution at Leeds. Wo have learned from a sure source that a most shock ing scone occurred immediately after the drop fell. We have stated that a short time previous to the execution at tention was directed to the wound in Myers's throat, and one of the warders placed a small plaster upon it. Unfortunately this was not sufficient. A few days before the execution Myers alluded to the state of his throat, and said that if the executioner did not give him " another yard" of fall ho should not die, for he could breathe through the wound. He showed to the p' rson he addressed that he could actually respire through the wound. The wound was in the middle of the throat, and the rope would necessarily come above it, so that there was imminent danger of a horrible scene unless the place was securely plastered over. The event showed that proper means had not been taken to obviate this danger. The fall did not dislocate the neck, because of his weight, but it was sufficiently violent to tear open the wound, and a dreadful scene ensird. After one or two movements Myers ceased apparently to struggle, and the attention of the executioner was directed to Sargisson, who struggled violently, and seemed to die very hard. But after a minute had elapsed it was seen that Myers was still alive, and that breathing was going on through the wound in the throat below the rope f The dreadful occurrence canted an overpowering feeling of horror, but after a consultation with the surgeon, steps were taken which resulted in the eventful fulfilment of the sentence; but this was not ac complished until more than 20 minutes had expired after the drop fell 1 Whether sensibility remained in the body during the whole of that time, it is impossible for us to say. Certa , n, however, it is that the culprit breathed for that time, and that the hoarse sound of the air rushing into the lungs was distinctly audible. Most fortunate it was that the screen in front of the drop completely concealed the bodies from the sight of the enormous crowd. We ehud•ter to think of what the cenecqurnees might have been if the populace had seen what took place behind the screen,- 8 hefficid lnae . po. dint. We perceive that Messrs.

J. Collins, The Prince and Princess of Wales in Denmark, COPENIIAGE, Thursday, Even if the Prince and Princess of. Wales had not arranged to pass a few days quietly at Fredensborg Castle,;which lies about 27 miles from Copenhagen, the drenching showers that have fallen almost con tinually since their arrival in Denmark would put anything like sight-seeing out of the question. A heavy, socking, noiseless rain, such as English agriculturists would delight in, and to which the inhabitants apparently are well accustomed, for they walk about with or without umbrellas, en tirely disregarding it, covers the streets with little .sheets of water that throb like pulses as they are beaten and swollen by further drops descending every moment. If a temporary cessation does take place and a ray of sunshine tempts the visitor half a street from his hotel, he speedily has occasion to desire his overcoat and his very strongest boots. D:oskics, indeed, and even in some quarters omni buses running upon tramways, afford the means of locomotion under cover, but, as in all the northern cities, these have a place of their own, which must not be interfered with. At Fredensborg yesterday the birthday of the Queen of Denmark was privately, but net on that account the less warmly celebrated. At 12 o'clock all the principal personages resident in the Castle, and also the members of the Corps Diplomatigne, had the honour of being received and of tendering their congratulations. In the evening there was a dinner party, at which about 40 sat down to table. The circle included all the members of the Royal family at present staying at Fiedensborg to meet the Prince and Princess of Wales, Sir A. and Lady Paget, with Mr. Gosling and Mr. Scott, of the British Embassy, the immediate suite of their Royal Highnesses, the commander of the yacht (Marne, and the captains of her Majesty's steamers Aurora and Salamis. After dinner his Roybl Highness the Prince of Wales proposed the health of the Queen of Thnmark, and immediately afterwards the King of Denmark proposed that of her Majesty Queen Victoria. The company then separated, the remainder of the evening being spent in private. Owing partly to the very unfavourable state of the weather, and to the fact that communicatio❑ with the capital by railway is still impeded, soma uncertainty prevails as to the actual proceedings of the Royal party. It is probable that the Prince and Princess of Wales will remain at Fredensborg until the beginning of next week, and that they will then proceed to Bernstorff, which, before the King ascended the throne, constituted his family residence. This castle being much smaller than the one where they are now staying, the Prince and Princess will take with them only a portion of their suite ; but, on the other hand, its proximity to Copenhagen will afford opportunities for visiting many objects of interest with which the capital abounds. It is nearly certain that the Royal party, or at any rate the Prince of Wales, will visit Stock holm towards the end of the month, but the design at one time entertained of extending the tour so as to include Moscow and St. Petersburg has been abandoned, owing to the lateness of the season. The time of year is already advanced for Sweden, and a month later travelling i❑ Russia would be at tended with extreme difficulties. Concerning the visit of the Prince and Princess to Copenhagen at the present moment public opinion has been a good deal divided. Naturally, when a nation undergoes humiliation and defeat, when it is conscious of outrages on the part of others and of some mistakes committed by itself, it is not in the mood for seeing anything coleur de rose. Whatever foundation there may have been for the expectations based on an English alliance, these expectations undoubtedly were entertained with a blind unques tioning faith, and when these were disappointed the mortification was proportionately bitter. The signa ture of England to the treaty of 1852 was looked on as the one good name on the back of the bill which, if all others failed, was to secure performance of the contract. Since it has proved that this task was more than England could or would undertake, the Dauisli feeling towards that country and Ira panple has, to say the least, cooled very sensibly. There are symptoms, however, that clearer views and wiser counsels are already beginning to resume their sway, and that the violent languege indulged in recently by a section of the press finds no approval from the more enlightened portion of the commu nity. Dagbladet, the organ of the more influential Opposition, contrast the enthusiastic demonstra tions which took place before the departure of the Princess Alexandra, with the silent welcome that meets her as Princess of Wales, and sets itself to explain why th ere are now no fetes in her honour. It is not, Dagbladci says, that any less warm feel. ings are entertained towards her personally, or that any doubt is felt of her affection for Denmark ; but the displays when she was about to leave for Eng. land possessed a double signification. They were intended to celebrate not merely a personal but a national union. She returns at a moment when the nation is bent down beneath a great calamity, and when the hope that sustained it has been utterly shattered. There is no longer the capacity to re joice ; there are no roses to ecatter before her, because they have all been strewn upon the tombs of those warriors who have fallen. Daybladet ex presses satisfaction at the presence of " the Eng. fish Crown Prince" as a guest in the country from which his wife was chosen, but sa: T hu "' nes must still regard him a 9 the rep.. ~c .ntative of Great Britain, which abandoned them to their enemies, and allowed might to trample over right, though both seeing and condemning their faithless violence." F ur th e r on the same paper adds— ., We cannot a ccor d to his private sym pathies for the righteous cause of Denmark so much weight as we should do to those of a man in lees exalted position." This article reflects very faith fully the feeling hero at the pres ent mo ment. It is or e, it will be perceived no t written in a ton e o f , personal unkindness, but rather of dissatiafaction as was seen i n t h e welcome w ith the policy which England thought it best to pursue. Years must elapse before that fe e li ng we ars away, and should there be a n y political party interested in its continuance it ma y b e maintained for an ic of defi r n i i t: ju p o e r r e, iotdh.o good ßu kindly h eart of the t, na tion underlies, and with o pp ort unity will sur mount all internationa l bitterness. In any case he must indeed be a sew. politician wh o would mar by the introduction of political topics the happiness of a young mother in blowing t o the people among whom her childhood was passed the husband of her choice and the first fruit with which that union has been blessed. Th o Russian Grand lhate, with whose stay in Denmark rumour connected the possibility of another Royal alli , nce with the reigning family, has just taken his departure. Before doing so, he presented to General Lindenehrone a very valuable gold snuffbox as a memorial of the visit. The whole of the Grand Duke's Stuff were decorated by the King of Denmark. The Chevalier I r manger has b een appo i n t e d t o act as equerry to the prince of Wales during his stay. FRIDAY. Were it not for th e time and o utlay involved iti a d visit ou b t to ed l thesey co b n orthern regions, th ey wou ld un doubtedly more fa vour it e fi e ld o f travel than the now d ust y track s of Central Europe. A people honest and hos p itable in the highest dee gree, a country inter estin g in itse lf , and to the very atones of which trad ition Clin g s ene a with the richness and tenacity of nose—these, independent of the treasures of the capital, are a few of the attractions held out by Denmark. It is true that of late years Scandinavia at large hue been honoured by English. men with a degree of attention greater, perhaps, than was bestowed upon it at :any time since the ninth century, when clergymen added to the Litany a special invocation for deliverance a furore Nor manorum. But in the stormy waters of the Baltic lies the great safeguard of the North from ever being vulgarised, as other parts of the Continent have been ; and her people, happily unaccustomed to be stared out of countenance, and not rendered callous by excursion trains, pride themselves, even in these days of gloom and national depression, on the goodwill and courtesy they show to strangers. Fancy a gentleman with 4 card entitling him to the very last reserved seat in a crowded opera•house, and with the notes of the delicious overture to " Don Giovanni" floating through the half-open door, turn ing away from the party with which he was enter ing, voluntarily giving up 15 or 20 minutes to ex• plore ticket• offices in the neighbourhood, and finally disinterring the director from those mystericu3 re gions in which theatrical managers love to bury themselves, and all in order that two strangers who could not speak the language might be admitted to some place where they could see and hear well—to standing room even, in the absence of better ac• commodation. This is not a solitary instance of exceptional courtesy ; it is one which from any Engiishman's experience might be multiplied inde finitely—the spirit dictating the action being emi nently characteristic of the people. It is the more on that account to be deplored that anything should have occurred to bring even a passing cloud be tween races equally priding themselves on good faith and the fullest observance of the laws of hos pitality. It would be difficult to state off-hand what it is that gives to the streets of Copenhagen an aspect different from that of almost every other Conti nental city, and yet the visitor walking or driving through them will be struck with innumerable ob- jeots as he passes along. To begin with, there can be no such thing as street boys in Copenhagen, for flowers bloom in exposed places which ih London would ba scalped in the course of one afternoon. The Kongen's Nyetoro, or King's New Market, is the central point of the city ; from this 12 of the principal etreets diverge, and in the middle of the Toro stands an equestrian statue, round the base of which are beds of blooming flowers which, after such showers as those of the last few days, shed a perfectly delicious fragrance. Beyond a very slight railing, altogether of an ornamental charac ter, there is nothing apparently to hinder any inhabi tant from collecting the materials for a bouquet ; not a policeman is in sight, not even a gardener with gold-laced hat. Apropos of policemen, it will no doubt be interesting to mention that the peculiar shaped casque which attracted so much notice when lately issued to the force in London exists in its integrity here in Denmark, with this exception, that the peaks back and front are of hard shining leather, and they exhibit no plaques of bronze or silver with the divisional numbers, but have each distinguishing marks as are considered necessary embroidered on the felt itself. Whether the helmet originated in Denmark or in England is not clearly stated ; perhaps, as was said by an author when taxed with a direct plagiarism from Shak spere, " the same idea occurred to !too men of genius." Thorwaldsen's Museum is a point to which every one of course will direct his steps, and here again something out of the ordinary course will be seen. To the museum externally a shape and colour are given designedly sugges , ive of an Egyp- tian monument. The windows and doors all nar row towards the top, but the most remarkable feature is the series of paintings on a huge black ground that forms a belt round the exterior of the building. Groups of figures of the heroic size and dressed in modern garments, almost without ex ception of the dull brick-red or yellow ochre lines, are skilfully drawn in every attitude expressive of interest and delight at the arrival of Thorwaidsen and his works. The population seem to have put off in boats to . obtain a better view, and one unhappy woman has fallen overboard in the confusion. This aquatic procession and the greetings extended to Thorwaldsen occupy one side of the museum. On the other walls the masterpieces of the great sculp tor are represented as in the act of being landed from a ship and carried to this building to be preserved, the idea, doubtless, having been suggested by the Egyptian hieroglyphics exhibiting the mode in which the Pyramids were constructed. The incom prehensible point is that any artist competent to de lineate figures so well in an anatomical point of view should have selected such repulsive colours for his work; they probably are to be accounted for by a L little pardonable vanity on the part of the Danish artist who was the first to discover how to make de corations in coloured stucco. As regards the contents of the Museum the guide-books furnish abundant information, but visitors should by no means con sider that they have acquainted themselves with all that is worth seeing there till they have examined the private collection of pictures, which, perhaps, because they are modern, or because it is assumed that statuary only ought to be admired upon that spot, are passed over with a slighting notice. Thor. waldsen, the son of the poor ship-carpenter from Iceland, who by his own achievements raised him■ self to such an eminence that he was buried with the highest honours the State could bestow, made the acquaintance, while a student at Rome, of number less men of genius like himself, most of whom he afterwards distanced in the race of life. Being in his turn enabled to become an encourager of art, he appears to have selected those paintings which yielded him the most gratification, regardless of the school to which they belonged, or of the names which might be appended to them. The collection affords a very good insight into the character and tastes of this great Mulish artist, and to some ex tent explains the secret of the power which, with a very different and more unsympathetic material, his own productions hive exercised in every country. No one coming to Copenhagen should miss seeing these pictures. There are numberless other sights at Copenhagen distinct, probably, from anything of a similar kind elsewhere. The residents pride themselves uponwhat they call their " Tivoli." These arc gardenswonder fully laid out, something after the =Oiler of Cre morne, but on a better scale in every departme:t• and with what forms in that case the one objectionan:: element most carefully eliminated. On fine evenings this is one of the most fashionable places of resort in Copenhagen. High and low mingle together with out the least constraint, and the gradations of society among this simple minded people are so well marked and so carefully observed that, although all meet here upon a level of equality, any thing like uncom fortableness is entirely obviated, For those who can enjoy classical music there aro orchestral per formances of considerable merit at fixed hours; for those whose taste is less refined there aro singing rooms in different quarters of the grounds, which aoy one can enter, the only fee being a collection made at intervals, when it is customary for each person to drop a piece of 4 skilliags, or about ld., into the plate, to reward the exertions of the voca lists. Many of the Bongs which are here sung are national and patriotic ; some are given:in costume ; they are often such as the audience eta and do join in ; in fact, if some of the enterprising caterers for the musical taste of the English public were to visit this part of the world they might discover some items in the programme which would bear transportation exceedingly well. Tivoli is further remarkable for its shooting gallery, certainly of a higher order than those sheet-iron telescopic ranges which wander from fair to fair in England, appearing in all their glory upon Derby•day. The marks to be aimed at include a whole aviary of birds, which fall from their perch when struck, and an eagle, life size, that when un touched is represented as soaring to the skies, but when struck in the vital part drops his head and wings, exhibiting a thorough dejected appearance. In like manner there is a target, which, by well arranged mechaniem, brings out a gorgeous Chasseur to indicate when the bsst hits are made, Then there is a Russian mountain, upon which adventurous spirits may make an essay in sleighing, a vehicle of this description being propelled with considerable force from one high tower to another over a succes sion of rapid rises and falls representing mounds of ice. Military music, bowling saloons, gymnastic exercises, ballet dancing, pantomimes, &c., are in cluded in the nightly programme of Tivoli ; and he most be hard to please who cannot select, from some one or other of the points which the payment of 1 mark (about 43d. English) places within his reach, some occupation or other to pass the evening. The strictest propriety reigns in every corner of the place; the most respectable persons are to be met there with their families, and though unlimited op portunities for obtaining refreshment exist, no one appears to be excited or the worse for what he has taken. If any one goes specially to search for it, of course ho will find that there is a dark side to the life of every great city ; but for all that appears upon the face of eeeiety hero, Copenhagen might be a town of spotless virtue. It certainly is to be regretted that in a country of superior general morality like England the first thing that strikes a foreign eye should be the display of flaunting, unblushing vice• The price to be paid fol the suppression of that evil may be too high. Perhaps we shall find out some of these days whether they do really "manage these things better on the continent." The Shakspere Commemoration, As ITSELF SARCASTICALLY COMMEMORATED BY A SATURDAY REVIEWER. - Surely we have seen the last of it, exclaims our sardonic contemporary, who adds--To talk Shako spew on a Shakspere subject— . . . , the times hays been That when the brains were out the man would die, And there an end ; but n9w they rise again With twe,..ty mortal muid,:rs on their crowns. Twenty ! twice twenty times was the Shakspere Tercentenary celebration done to death. livery art and device of mortal MID combined to produce the terrible and ignominow-fiaseo of this unlucky scheme. The two committees which quarrelled about the honour of inventing what was destined from the first to fail ; the secretaries who quarrelled with the committee, and the committee which disavowed the secretaries, and then disavowed and dissolved itself; the somebody who affronted the late Mr. Thackeray, and the somebody who affronted Mr. Phelps, and the somebody who affronted Mr. Fechter, and the somebody who affronted Mr. Bellew, and Mr. Bel• lew who affronted everbody : the Memorial Com mittee which passed a solemn vote, "Agreed unani mously that we receive £30,000, to be furnished by public subscription ;" and the public who never would subscribe thirty thousand shillings—the whole thing runs into a parody. This is the statue that the committee did not set up ; this is the actor that worried the committee ; this is the parson that riled the actor that worried the committee, &e. &o. ad infinitum —and infinite series of blunders, break downs, quarrels, vanities, absurdities,extravagances. We thought that we had done with it. But it reappears. Even the dinner at Stratford, at which Lord Carlisle presided, was not the last of it—the dinner which was so bad that the excellent Viceroy has never recovered from it. Nor was the Prim rose-hill oak-planting the last of it, at which the Shakspere worshippers and the Garibaldi worship. pens, after the fashion of rival religionists, got to loggerheads. Ecce itcrum Mr Hepworth Dixon, who promised that the minutes of the Shakspere Memorial Committee should be deposited in the British Museum, but who will now be called upon, we fear, to deposit them in Basinghall-street. At any rate, the Stratford Shakspearian Tercentenary Commemoration Committee is in a hopeless state of insolvency. Whether the two Committees—the London Committee and the Stratford Committee— ever coalesced, we are not quite sure. Nor are wo certain whether any Rump of the London Memo rial Committee survives to be roasted yet once more. We remember only that secession after recession took place. We have an indistinct recollection that the Monumental Committee fell to pieces after a literary gentleman, without consulting the whole body, drew up the famous programme of a" monu ment embracing a statue" in " the style of the poet's period." Nor can we call to mind that the Memorial Committee, if it still exists, has ever pre sented a report, or told us how much of the £30,000 which it passed a resolution to receive has been re ceived. Indeed, as we are not aware whether t: London Committee is alive or dead, hybernatirg or aestivating, asleep or awake or on a journey, we desire to say nothing about it. It is only to be hoped thit, when its day of account comes, the London Committee may present a better balance. sheet than its Stratford brethren. THE AUTUMN HANDICAPS. )R THE CESARE CH.

DONCASTER, Monday: Doncaster this year will be honoured with the presence of the heir to the throne of Italy, besides the usual gather ing of the elite of the aristocracy. The course is rather hard but otherwise in excellent condition. The two great cracks, Blair Athol and General reel, arrived yesterday. A rush was immediately made to get a peep at their condition, but those who were so anxious went away sorely disappointed, as they came in separate boxes made expressly for the pur pose. Both will show over the course to-morrow. The following are the probable starters and jockeys expected to tako part in the St. Leger, although several outsiders whose names have been scarcely mentioned may enter an appearance : 0 Nners. Horses. Jockeys. Duke of I3caufort's ...Black Rook .. Fo: nava Mr Bowes's BRragah Ashmall Mr Cartwright's ....Ely Costal:leo Mr J. ])33 , 's Master Richard.. Judd 'jlaagow'e Strdflord Doyle :,ord Glasgow's General Peel .... Alderoft or Wclla Mr Naylor's Coast Guard ....Cha!loner Mr I'Anson's Blair Athol J Snowden Mr Launde's Miner J Osborne Lord Stamford's ....Cambuscan Edwards Duke of St. Albans'.. Brindisi F. Adams Mr Pardoe's Knt. of Snowden.. Loates Blair Athol, after his easy success in the Derby, is cer tainly entitled to hold the premiership in the betting. His defeat by Miner, at York, was entirely owing to want of condition. Whether he wins or not I shalt certainly expect to see him beat Miner. General Peel, from having won the Two Thousand Guineas, and afterwards running second for the Derby, has ever since the latter event been as goad a favourite as Blair Athol, owing to his having gone into John Scott's stable to finish his preparation. In his race for the Two Thousand there was no horse of any merit that he beat. But after the form that Scottish Chief showed at Ascot, his chance looks second to none. Lord Glasgow is ono of the most honourable noblemen in connection with the turf, and his success would bo hailed with the greatest satisfaction by all classes of the ring. It is said that Wells will have to mount on the General instead of Aldcroft, who, it was said, acted contrary to orders in the Great Ep,om tourna ment, which gave rise to a serious difference between trainer, jockey, and master. The Minor, from having defeated Dlair Athol at York, is now third favourite; but, as I have previously said, that running will no doubt bo entirely upset on the present occasion. Baragah is the bast of Mr Bowes's lot, Ilia performances at Ascot, Goodwood, and Wolverhampton, whore ho beat Ely, Historian, ILilyfox, Tomato, and Lord Zotland (giving him 71bs), certainly makes his chance look rosy. All sorts of excuses have been made for Ely, but I have not the smallest doubt he was fairly defeated on his own merits. Taking his race with Ely into consideration, ho certainly beat him easier than either Blair Athol or General Peel did in the Derby. He was stopped for two or three days in his work by a slight accident, but has since done excellent work, and looking as fresh as ever. Mostly all tho bookmakers have laid heavily against him; and if he should pull through (with the exception of 'Linsley and Spinks, and several of the old bookmakers), the " Ruins" will be scattered nearly as much as Goneral Grant's Yankee forces were the other day by General Leo on the Weldon Railroad before Petersburg. Ely, as I have before said, will not reverse his position with either General Peel, Blair Atht,l, or Daragah, but I shall expect him to turn the tables on the Miner. Master Ri hard would have had a great chance if the distance had been half a mill shorter. Knight of Snowdon was fourth in the Derby, but after the dressing Scottb-h Chief gave him, I do not think ho otn better that performance, although he may ruu into a place. Cambuscan, about whom such a disturbance was made at Lord Stamford's sale, has, within the last week, cwmo pro. minently into the quotations, but ho cut up so wretchedly at Epsom, where ho was supported for thousands, that I dare not repose that confidence in his chance I would other wise have done, Black Rock, Solon, and Vanquisher may help to swell the field, and that is all. Having now referred to those that are likely to take a prominent part in the race, I 0141 now attempt to forestall the judge in his decision by placing GENERAL PEEL, or BARAGAII, 1 BLAIR ATHOL 2 ISI I NE It The Handicap Sweepstakes, for two-) i-olds, should be won by Andax, and Trap has an outside chance for the Portland Plate.

THE COLLEGE OF ORGANISTS.—PRIZE FOR ORGAN COMPOSITION.--In a letter to the Editor of the "Musical Standard," a correspondent, signing him self R Limpus, hon. sec., and dating from Freemason's Hail, September 6, 1861, writes as follows :—"l . am dct-ired by the Council et the College of Org anists to ihform you that the priza of ten guineas offered for the best Organ Composition has been awarde d, and to rt q uost you will kindly insert in your next issu e the umpire's report, a c o py fwhich ' o ch e a s to successful bc Ar i i work posseses great merit, and its authorc , of Manch es t er . It is a gratifying fact that the late appeal t o composers for• o I e ns°. pr the organ resulted in the production of several high class works, which arc remarkable for superior writing. It wou!d be satisfactory to the Council to learn the names of thus ° competitors whose wotka have received honourable men tion ; but, under conditions previously issued, they are only permitted to break the seal of the letter bearing the motto of the successful candidate. The sentences pissed on the Polish ladies who have been an long in confinement at Posen havo just been published. The Countess OstroNska has been condemned to five years' imprisonment with irons—the Countess Wodzioka and Madame Zblewska to 10 months of the same punishinent—Mesdam e s WilkorzewEka and lining to six utontht—and Mesdames Alexandrowiez and llymidowiez to four. All these have appealed. EXECUTION 01? LATOLTIL—FOIX, Sept. 12. Lutour was executed Irere to-day. Notwithstand ing the rain an immense crowd assembled to witness the execution.
