CONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. An acthe business is still experienced in discount circles, and the inquiries at the Bank itself are also klther numerous. The market, it is thought, will 'continue animated until the payment of the avi (lends early next month, Several millions sterling will then be released, but in the meantime an effect is likely to be produced by revenue collections and the contracted circulation resulting from the rapid accumulation of the Treasury balances. From the manufacturing districts the accounts durin g the past week mention that business in most departments has contiuued dull. At Manchester cloths and yarns were rather lower, while in the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders field the operations have been principally in light fabrics for immediate requirements. A better de mand has been experienced for hosiery and lace goods at Leicester and Nottingham, while in the hardware districts, viz., at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been little change of importance to report. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 69f. 70o.—firm. The shareholders of the National Provincial Bank of England assembled to-day at a special meeting, and confirmed the necessary resolutions for reallotting the 426 shares which have now reverted to the bank among the members of the board of direction. Mr. J. M. Laurie occupied the chair. There has been no particular movement to-- day in the market for the English funds, which continue firm with a buoyant tendeney. Consols are 921 exactly for money, and 921 for the 9th proximo —being nearly -I f per cent. higher than ou Saturday afternoon. This improvement has been occasioned by a better feeling among the specula tora who have been encouraged to effect a few pur chases. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 918 ; the 5 per Cent. India Stock is marked 1071 108 1; and the 4 per Cent. Debentures are 100. Exchequer Bills for March are quoted par, and for June 2s. prem. Owing to the settlement considerable activity is witnessed in the Foreign Market, but the operations were chiefly of a formal character. Numerous bar gains have taken place in Greek, which have ranged from 391 to 40, the latest prices being 391 1, while the Coupons are 18! 19. Mexican are also very animated, and the quotations have been 371 389, and the current rates are 371 38 ; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, were marked 701 1'; do., 1862, 711 4 ; do., 1863, are nominally steady, and the New Scrip is also at steady prices; the C3nfederate Loan is not better than 29 14 dis. ; but the New Venezuelan Loan is 1.1 2 prem. In the Railway Share Market the settlement of the accounts is the principal business alluded to, and in several instances prices have shown a slight upward movement. South Western have advanced 6 8. Caledonian, South Eastern, London and Black well, North Western, and South Eastern have im proved 108., while Great Western have declined ss. In the Foreign and Colonial lines there has been 11 0 changeof importance. Bahia and San Francisco realise 20; Recife and San Francisco, 16s; East Indian, 1101. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are dull, and show no material change in values. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 232k 3k i 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 3 per Cent.

GRAND CONSERVATIVE BANQUET.—We understand Mr. Disraeli has accepted the invitation of,th , 3 executive committee, and will be present at the anni- Versary festival of the National Conservative Registratio n Association, to take place at Willis's Rooms, on Friday, - the 26th inst., the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, C.B. in the chair. WHAT HAS ADMIRAL WILKES DONE ?—This is an interesting question to solve. Admiral Wilkes hom made a great noise in the world, and some trouble too, Tile was busily engaged in finishing the narrative of his South Sea expediti n, and was returning home from Africa 'when he fell foul of Mason and Sltdell, and created immense excitement thereby among the diplomats and commentators upon international law all over both hemispheres. 'Wh en Admiral Goldsborough failed to accomplish what was ex pected of him in the Chesapeake, Admiral Wilkes got oom niand of the flotilla in the Jamesß River, was intrusted , but he snodtwuis with the in doing anything there. Then h around the West Indi es, the cha r ge of a flying squadron and people expected to see the rebel privateers swept off th e sea at once ; but, with the exception of an occasional growl from a newspaper in Nassau or Bertunda ' we heard very little of Admi ra l Wilkes's proceedings until he seized the Peterhoff ' which caused another row in England. Certainly he h as not diminished the number of the rebel sbips a o v f e b pr e e e y n . As far as th ey are concerned h i s fl ee t a pp e ars to have a flying squadron indeed, for they have always kept clear of the priv a t eers. Now he has seized one of our own vessels, the Vand er bilt, which was destined for a special service,e, and has made h e r his flagship. If h e wou ld l e t the Vanderbilt alone, and co n t ent himself with seizing the rebel Alaoama or Florida, and turn one of them into a flagship, it would be much better. It seems evident that there is no chance of either of these vessels or any other privateers being got rid of until some one else besides Admiral Wilkes is put in command of the flying squadron.—New York Hcreld. The Breslau Gazette relates the following : " The Grand Duke Constantine every day receives all the foreign journals in one packet, and he is most parti cular in opening it himself in order that no important piece of news shall be kept from him. One day, lately, there was found in the packet that day's number of the Ruch, the journal of the National Government of Warsaw. How could the paper have got into the well -sealed packet coming from abroad ? That no one has yet been able to discover. it this should continue,' the Grand Duke is said to have ex claimed, we shall be beaten even if we had ten armies. All our troops will be of no avail so long as we shall not have disooyered this National Government " PREFERENCE SHARES. Midland 41 per cent. pf. stk. rd., 103 West Midland gua.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY IN AN AUSTRALIAN SHIP.—A very remarkable discovery has just been made in one of Messrs Green's ships recently arrived in the port of London. The ship Result was being overhauled a day or two ago in the London Docks, when the skeleton of a man was found standing upright. He was dressed, but all his flo h had dried up on his bones, and his clothes there fore hung loosely about him. On searching him a sum of ,twelve shillings in silver was found in his pocket, but no other property of any kind. It is supposed that the man had not the means to pay for his passage and secreted him selfla in some part of the vessel, and was e ither suffocated or t lt! consequence of the manner in which the car g o was } " l . e s te ahe fo un d it i mposs ibl e to escape from his place of """netuent.

MARKETS—This Day. MARK LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were very7mode rately supplied with wheat, yet the demand was in a sluggish state, and in some instances holders were compelled to accept less money in order to effect sales. The inquiry for spring corn was by no means active, yet prices were supported. Flour changed hands to a moderate extent, at low rates. • ' " ' . On the Continent, the trade for wheat and spring corn rules quiet, on former terms. Our American advices report a fair export demand both for wheat and flour, at slightly enhanced rates, Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 12,340 quarters of wheat ; 3,536 barley ; 31,518 oats ; 5,185 beans ; 200 tares ; 17,369 linseed , 18,478 oil seeds; 610 maize; 270 sundry seeds; 1,951 sacks, and 26,555 barrels of flour. Fresh up to Mark Lane, this morning, a limited supply of English wheat was received, in fair cmdition. Selected parcels both of red and white produce were in moderate demand, at quite last Monday's currency. In the value of inferior parcels, no alteration took place, but the demand ruled far from active, and a total clearance wail not effected. There were some French buyers in the market, and a few parcels were taken for export to France, but the prices offered were for the most part too low to admit of any of any transaction of importance. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat, and the show of good and fine Dantaic produce was toleralq extensive. Holders of American produce were firm, owing to inquiries by French buyers ; but other descriptions met a slow sale. Last Monday's quotations, however, were fully supported. The transactions either for home use or for export to France were on a very m derate scale. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, neverthe less prices ruled firm. The supply of English barley was small, of foreign qua. lities but moderate. Both grinding and distilling qualities were in fair average request at full quotations. Malting parcels commanded very little attention. There was rather less activity in the malt trade, yet prices were supported. The supply of oats was chiefly confined to foreign quali ties, but the show of samples was large. All qualities were in slow request, and in some instances the quotations ruled in favour of buyers. The show of English b ans was small, but there was a fair supply of foreign qualities on the stands. Tick and pigeon qualities wore firm in price. Other qualities, how , ever, moved off slowly, on former terms. With peas—both English and foreign—the market was scantily supplied, and the quotations were fully supported. In flour a fair average business was transacted, at last week's currency. The supply of barrels on offer was mode rately large.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our market to-day was seasonably well supplied with foreign stock, in but middling condition. Sales progressed somewhat heavily, at barely last week's currency. Fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, the arrivals of beasts was moderately extensive, and the general quality of the stock was good. Prime Scots and crosses sold steadily at prices about equal to Monday last. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, the quotations gave way 2d per 81bs. The top figura for beef was 5s per 81bs., and a total clearance was not effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,600 Scots, short horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; and from Scotland, 200 Scots and crosses. We were again well supplied with sheep, both as to number and quality. Prime Downs and half-breds changed hands to a fair extent, at full currencies ; but all other breeds moved off slowly, and the currencies had a drooping tendency. The best Downs and a few prime half-breds realised 5s per 81bs. Lambs—the supply of which was good—sold heavily, at barely late rates, viz., from 5s 4d to 6s 8d per 81bs. About 100 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. Calves met a slow sale, at last week's prices. The pork trade was steady, at full quotations. Per 81b. to sink the offal. e. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

FATAL TERMINATION OF A CHARGE.-011 Mr. Tyrwhit t taking his seat on the bench this morning Inspector Charles Bowles of the C division mentioned to him the particulars of the death of a person charged with drunken ness. Inspector Bowles said that on Saturday night a tailor named Charles Lewis. of 7, Hanover-place, Oxford-street, about thirty years of age, while in a state of intoxication was crossing New Bond -street with a friend when he fell against a cab and injured his mose. He was at once taken to St. George's Hospital, and the surgeon who attended to him gave the following certificate : " St. George's Hospital. " This is to certify that Chalks Lewis is a patient, and is suffering from a broken nose and is intoxicated. FREDERICK W. MAUDE, House Surgeon." Inspector Bowles said that the surgeon refused to admit the man as an in patient, and with the view of taking care of him he was taken to the Marlborough-mews station by the constable (Ewer, 166 C) and charged with being drunk and incapable, but some time after was bailed by a friend and taken to his house, where about twelve yesterday ha expired. Mr. Tyrwhitt observed that it was a melancholy end of the matter. ALLEGED WANTON CRUELTY TO A DOG.—Elijah Pain, a jobbing builder, 92, West •strtet, Soho, appeared to answer the complaint of Mr. William Love, of the Royal Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, charging him with havidg cruelly illtreated a dog. Mr. Love said the matter had been taken up by the society on behalf of the owner of the dog, as he regretted to say tne case, as reported to the society, appeared to be of a flagrant nature. Mr. Love then called Mr. Judah Lazarus, who (corroborated by his brother, Mr. Samuel Lazarus, a butcher, at 12, West street, Soho), deposed that on the 4th of June he was sitting in the front of his shop with the dog, an old and docile one and nearly blind, by his side, when the defendant passed with a piece of wood about three feet long in his hand. Atter the defendant had passed he returned and struck the dog a violent blow across the head, causing it to fall over and lie screaming in the street, the blood gushing from its eyes, mouth, and nose. The dog was seriously injured, and for some days cculd not hold up its head. He had had the dog some years, and it had never attempted to bite any one. Francis, an officer of the Society, said he found the dog on the following day in a very bad state, and it could not hold up its head, but it was now quite well. Defendant protested his innocence of wilfully ill-treating the dog. On passing the dog he felt something grip him by the leg, and turned round hurriedly and struck it with the piece of wood, and then for the first time became aware it was complainant's dog. He repudiated any intention of wantonly ill-treating the dog. The magistrate said he was inclined to believe the de fendant's statement that the dog bit at his leg. He thought if the defendant had any cruel intention he would have struck the dog as he passed it, and not passed it and re turned to commit the act of cruelty. It was clear, how ever, that he used unnecessary violence to the animal, and for that he should fine the defendant ss. or seven days. The defendant was locked up in default.

The accounts from the plantations are very favourable, and the bine task's rapid progress. Our market, conse quently, is less active.

A magnificent portrait-140 guineas (Ferrer). 144. Palma Vecchio—" Divine and Heathen Love," in a splendid landscape. From the collection of King Louis Philippe. Purchased by Baron Taylor from the Count D'Aguilar. See IP aagen, supp. p. 168, A very superb example-420 guineas (Seymour). 145. Richard Wilson, R.A.—A landscape, with lake and ruins, and figures.

Exhibited at Manchester in 1857-195 guineas (G. Parry,) 151. Lo Spagna—" The Crucifixion," with many figures.

Described at large by Lanzi From Mr. Solly's collection-101 guineas (Lord Ash burton). 163-4, Bernardino-Pinturicchic_" The Trojan Horse brought into the City," which is here represented by Florence.

Fllippino Lippi—Portrait of La Simonetta, in a crimson and white dress, with pearls and a veil. The arms of the Sodenni family are emblazoned on the background.

Sandro Botticelli—" The Virgin and Child," sur rounded by four angels—circle —a superb example ; from Mr. Solly's collection, exhibited at the British Institution in 1859.

Leonardi Da Vinci—" The Virgin and Child," the Virgin attired in a blue dress, kneeling, supports the infant Saviour, who stands on a red cushion, and holds a bird in his hand. Through the pillars of the building a distant landscape is seen. Dr. Waagen says ;—" This picture, as cribed to Ghirli.ndaio, may, I am convinced, be by Leonardo, t,e the standing master Leonardoprevious to says—" y his going a t o d,rd Milan."cellee M• dßLioorin his d North-wick, if w e ic o k f , dans laquelle ou n'hesite pas a reconn aitre un ouvra g e de l a childpr m mayere mbaen seenie r a e de Leonardo," n resemblanceardo to V , " p.28.r roc In h io h of Leonardo.

This great masterpiece of Giotto is thus described by Vasari :—" Una tavolina dipinta da Giotto a tempera, con infinita diligenza, dentro la quale era la morte di nostra Donna, con li Apostoll intorno, e con un Christ() chi in braccio l'annima di lei riciveva, era molto lodata da Mic. Angelo, e stata poi levata via da chi the sia.'' From Cardinal Fesck's collection. Exhibited at the British Institution in 1857-950 guineas (Martin).

Three children (two toys and one girl), the two former the sons of Mr. T. Taylor, and the latter tee child of a friend who had lzrt her under the protection of Mr. and Mrs Taylor, had returned from school, and were playing near the river Sow, which runs close by Mr, Taylor's house, when, by some cad fatality, they all three fall into the stream, which had greatly overflowed its banks in conse quence of the late rains, The shrieks of the poor little creatures immediateiy brought some of the neighbours to the scene of the catastrophe, but so rapid was the current that all their efforts to rescue them were unavailing. The gad of the bereave& parents was frantic, and the melan choly event caused the most painful excitement throughout the town, end drew hundreds of people to the spot, all of whom vied with each other in their endeavours to assist in the discovery of the victims of this sad occurreuce.—,Bir ming4 am .Post, THAMES. A RUFFIAN AND THIEF, —John Tighe alias Toy, an Irish labourer, aged 30, was brought up on remand before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing 3lbs, of bacon from the shop of Mr. Wm. Hunt, No. 131, High-street, Poplar, and savagely assaulting George Palmer, the prosecutor's assistant. A few evenings since Mr. Palmer saw the prisoner take a piece of bacon from his master's window-board and en deavour to conceal it under his coat, and, failing in that, put his hands behind him. Mr, Palmer seized him, and asked him what he had behind him, to which he made no answer. A violent struggle took place, in the course of which the prisoner backed himself against the window of Mr. Edward Mufflin, a printer, and not only destroyed several panes of glass, but damaged and broke several things inside the window. The prisoner continued the struggle with Mr. Palmer, repeatedly struck him and tore his shirt and neckerchief. Several persons then went to the assistance of Mr. Palmer, and the prisoner threw himself on the ground, and kicked at him. A constable named Pickering, 230 K, also came to the aid of Mr. Palmer, on which the prisoner took a large clasp knife from his pocket, opened it, and made plunges at every one within his reach. Fortunately he did not stab any one, but he it flicted serious injuries on Pickering, on another policeman who was thrown, and also upon Mr. Palmer. The prisoner was ultimately secured, with the bacon in his possession. Pickering said the prisoner was convicted 11 years ago for stealing lead and copper, and sentenced to six years' penal servitude ; and since his return to his old quarters he had been summarily convicted of larceny, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner had been in custody on other occasions for robberies and assaults. The prisoner, in defence, admitted that he had been trans ported, but since the expiration of his sentence he had been working hard in Mr. Green's ship building yard and other places. He was very fond of a drop of drink, and unfor tunately when he was tipsy he did not know what he was about. He had been terribly knocked about by eight or nine of his countrymen, until he was " smothered in blood." That weakened his head, and when he had the " drop taken" he was mad and did not know what he was about. Mr. Woolryoh said he could not do otherwise than send this case for trial. The prisoner had been sentenced to six years penal servitude, and on the 10th December, 1861, was summarily convicted and sentenced to six months' impri sonment and hard labour for stealing a tile of copper. He was afraid the prisoner was an incorrigible thief, who had not taken warning by the previous convictions. He should commit the prisoner for trial on two charges, for stealing the bacon, end also for assaulting Mr. Palmer. WEST MINSTER. CHIEGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.--Richard Pelham, a labouring man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Selfe, charged with the manslaughter of Charles Cochen. Edwin F Gale, 12, Commercial-road, Pimlico—On Sa turday, a little after seven, the prisoner and another man were fighting in West-square. The man he was fighting had hit him in the breast, and that ended the fight, which lasted six or seven minutes. They were going to have something to drink friendly, when people around them urged them to fight it out, and they fought three or four rounds. Both fell, and the deceased caught hold of the prisoner by the legs and pulled him a few yards. As de ceased had hold of the prisoner he was pulled away. He then stood up, but immediately afterwards dropped down dead. Frederick Bayless gave a nearly similar account of the transaction. Henri Peleto, a young man, was put forward to account for the transaction. He said— After we had all done work ing we went to the Rising Sun, in the Commercial-road, on Saturday night, and began larking. The prisoner was there when deceased and the rest of us went in, and prisoner and deceased got a sky .larking, and in sparring the prisoner's nose bled. He then went and sat down, and when he got up again they began fighting. The landlady came and said she would have no fighting there, and then they went our and fought. Mr. Selfe—Did any of you try to stop the fight? Witness—We all tried to stop it, but others urged them on. In the last round both fell—the prisoner was under. Mr. Selfe—How long did they light last? Witness—A quarter of an hour. Mr. Selfe—And no police came I' Witness—No. The sergeant came up at six, and Inspec tor Howard apprehended the prisoner aft'er'wards at his residence. Prisoner was remanded on bail until next Tuoadday next. SHIPPING—This Day. (BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) GRAVESEND, Monday Morning:.

The Lord Chancellor took his seat at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Finch Hattor's Estate bill was read a second time. THIRD READINGS._ The North Staffordshire Railway (Additional Powers) and the Exeter Gaol bills were read a third time and passed. THE CASE OF MR. BISHOP. The Marquis of NOIIMANBY said be bad given notice that he would ask for the production of a despatch made by Sir James Hudson on the 25th of February, which was quoted by his noble friend (Earl Russell) as containing the assurance on the part of the Piedmontese Cabinet that Mr. Bishop would be liberated. He understood when he gave notice that the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs would have no objection to produce the despatch. Earl RUSSELL said he was about to present to the house, by command of her Majesty, extracts from the despatch referred to by the noble marquis. The promise of pardon to . Mr. Bishop by the Italian Government was to be carried into effect on the first favourable opportunity, and that promise was, as soon as brigandage was sup pressed and the state of the country would permit. He had seen a report in the newspapers, but he had no positive information on the point, that the ex-King of Naples was about to quit Rome, and if that was so he had no doubt it would go a great way to put down brigandage. With respect to the health of Mr. Bishop, General Mar mora had sent a medical gentleman to see Mr. Bishop, and he had reported that that gentleman's health would not suffer provided he was not subjected to any severe labour. That o, inton had been sent to Turin, and he believed that no fears need be entertained as to the treatment Mr. Bishop would receive. THE BRAZILS. The Earl of MALMESBURY gave untie° that on Fri day next, in calling attention to our relations with the Brazils, he should move for copies of any papers showing on what grounds the Government of the Brazils resisted the claims for £3,200 compensation. THE WAR IN AMERICA. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved for copies of any report that may have been received from the Admiral commanding her Majesty's squadron on the North Ameri can and West India station concerning the protection from seizute or visitation afforded to British merchantmen by the Ariadne and other of her Majesty's ships or gunboats or otherwise, and asked what had been the result of the remonstrances made to the United States Government by her Majesty's Minister against the seizure of certain British vessels, He dwelt with particular emphasis on the recent condemnation of the Adela as contrary to all principles of international law, and considered it was the duty of the Government to demand her restoration. The noble marquis contended the country ought to afford adequate protection to her commercial marine, and denounced the seizure of vessels bound to Matamoraa and Nassau, as a means of monopolising the trade to the first mentioned place for the benefit of New York shippers, a state of things which ought not to be recognised.

Mr. CONINGHAM gave notice that on an early day, on going into committee, he should call attention to the re cent court-martial on Mr. Smailes, and move a resolution thereon. THE COTTON DISTRICTS.--UNEMPLOYED OPERATIVES. Mr. FERRAND gave notice that he should to-morrow ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, looking at the distress now suffered by the artizans, he did not deem it expedient to devote a morning sitting to the subject. NEW TELEGRAPHIC LINE TO NORTH AME RICA. Mr, CAVE asked the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Government had received information respecting an international conference. which, according to the Monzteur, had been opened in Paris, for the purpose of examining into the project of a telegraphic line from Europe to North America, via Brazil, and the West Indies, and whether any steps had been taken for the representation of this country at such conference ? Mr. LAYARD replied it was quite true that there had the British such a conference. Proposals had been m ade to British Government to take part in it; but the Treasu r y , looking at the engagements into whieh it had entered had not deemed it advisable to accede to the proposal.

NEW WRIT—LISBURN. On the motion of Colonel TAYLOR, a new writ was ordered to be issued. THE PURCHASE OF THE GREAT INTERNA- TIONAL EXIIIBITION. Lord PALMERSTON appealed to the hon. member for Tipperary to postpone his motion, so that the discussion on the proposed vote might not be delayed. The hon. and learned member lot-Ring's county had put off his motion to that day week. The O'DONOGHUE said, after the way the noble lord had treated the question of the Irish Church, he really did not feel disposed to give war if he had his motion on the paper for this evening, which was a mistake of the noble lords. Mr, HENNESSY stated that he had giVell Way on the express understanding that he should have an oppt tunity of bringing on the subject of Poland this day weel4 , Mr. OSBORNE said he was a miserable dupe with re spect to his motion—(lat:ghter) —for he had put it off under the impression that he should have Friday week, which it appeared had been devoted to Another hon. member. - The subject then dropped. In reply to Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that the commissioners held the 12 acres of land free and intact at South Kensington. The land cos t £l7l '.so o. When the partne rs hi p between the commissioners ann' the Government ceased, this money advanced by the Govern ment was repaid—Xl2o,ooo in cash and £61,000 in land. On the motion of Lord PALMERSTON, the house th , went into committee. Lord PALMERSTON then brougßt forward the pro posed estimate for the purchase of the land and building, and for additions and alterations. He thought London. might most justly be styled the commercio.l capital of the world, and hence ranked high am ong the commercial centres of the world, its great size' and the crowding of its buildings tended greatly t o impair its architectural beauties. The streets were narrow and its open places few and small. Its public buildings wen. , not many, and differences of opinion prevailed as to tileir architectural claims to admiration. They had but few of those palaces belonging to individuals who were to be found in many of the small towns of the continent. There were, it was true, N , rthumberland ar d Landsdowne houses, and. the beautiful club houses in Pall-mall. The noble lord cited the cost of land in Lonaon and in each of the large towns, and contended that the land would be sold to the country at a great bargain—namely, £6,000 per acre, whereas, if sold at this moment for building purposes, it would realise not less than £15,000 per acre. (Hear, hear) The noble lord codtrasted the great cost of buy ing the land in town for the proposed extension of the British Museum, with the small price of the much larger quantity at Kensington. It was proposed to take the Patent Museum a nd the National Portrait Gallery to this Exhibition. The 17 acres would ,f - ..fost £120,000, the building £BO,OOO, and the entire alte.ra don £284,0000, making a total of .£1,841,0C 0, but it was only proposed to ask for £172,000 in 1863 !incl. 1864, namely, £67,000 for land ,- £BO,OOO for the building, and £2,000 for the repairs and extensions. A dome was a very handsome thing. (Laughter) Ever y one admired the domes of St. Paul's and St. Peter's. The present domes would he constructed more solidly after the style of the generally admired dome of the British Mu seum. The Government did not propose to remove the National Gallery ; th at, as yet , was a moot question. The noble lord calculated that the nation would be greatly advantaged by the purchase and concluded by placing the first resolution in the han ' cls of Mr. Massey—namely, £67,000 for the purchase . of the land in the present and nest year. Mr. GREGORY rose to oppose the bill. (LEFT SITTING.) SPORTING NOTES. The great sensation in sporting circles last week has been the disqualification of Knowsley for the Queen's Stand Plate, and the nullification of all bets on the Fernbill Stakes, won by Tomato. With regard to the former, it appears that Knowsley took the maiden allowance, to which he was• not entitled, and no sooner was the Earl of Glasgow made aware of the error than he at once resigned all claim to the race; consequently, as bets and stakes are inseparable in such cases, those who backed Knowsley were placed in the unpleasant, position of having to pay, whilst the backers of Umpire, on the other hand, unexpectedly found themselves winners instead of losers on the race—a result that altered many accounts from the "losing" to the "winning" side.. Nor, except in a few instances, was the decision, though a " sore blow" to the bookmakers, cavilled at; for imme diately on Lord Coventry appealing to Admiral Rous, as to whether there could be any ground for withholding pay ment on the race, and receiving a reply in the negative, the settling thereupon was instantly proceeded with. In the meantime, the question relative to the bets on the Fernhill Stakes, won by Tomato, had been under investigation by the Hon. Admiral Rous, Mr. Gerard Sturt, and Mr. On slow, the two latter acting by deputy; and when it was an nounced that Mr, Sturt and Mr. Onslow were in favour of declaring all bets on the race off, in opposition to the opinion of the Admiral, who publicly protested against the decision, as being " directly opposed to racing law, and setting a most dangerous precedent," such an exhibition of popular feeling was witnessed as we never before remember at Tat tersall's. Admiral Rous's protest was coincided in by at least two-thirds of those present, and the bookmakers, almost to a man, declined to settle on the race. The case will undergo further investigation. The bill of fare for Odiham races, which commence to morrow, is of greater extent than usual. There are BLS items on the list. The Hurstbourne Stakes has 17 engaged, the best of whom I expect will turn up in Starbeam, even, with his Vbs. penalty. Gibraltar, from the forward position he obtained in the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, ought to credit his owner with the Odiham Handicap, his most dangerous opponent being Blondin. For the Dogmersfield Park Stakes I have most fancy for Faith. On Wednesday the Bibury Club holds its meeting. The Biennial has 88 horses engaged, amongst whom are several that have been heavily,backed for next year's Derby. From the amount of money that Ackwortb has been entrusted with in good quarters, he must have my confidence. The Bibury Stakes will fall to Rubicon. The match between. Adventurer and Libellous will be an exciting race, but the hitter will find the distance too far. For the Stockbridge Cup neither Buckstone or Scottish Chief are likely to put in an appearance,and as Myrtle has such a pull in the weights over all the other horses engaged,l cannot doubt thesuccessofl►lr Ten Broeck. The Biennial will fall to Mr. Merry with. the aid of Gladstone. The Beaufort Handicap has an acceptance of seven only out of 40 handicapped, and the last on the list, Kingswood, 3 yrs, 6st 51b, is decidedly best in, for he meets Carisbrook, 4 yrs, Bst I2lb, with nearly a stone the best of the weights, and the latter should beat alI the others. The Danebury Nursery Stakes, a free handi cap for two year olds, T.Y.C,, is a new race for the second day, and the acceptance is more respectable than that for the Beaufort Handicap ; still, J. Day may spoil it, as Red cap, 7st, is almost turned loose, and whatever beats him should win. The Westmoreland Plate, one mile, is a weight, for age race, and Flying Fish, having been fortunate enough to escape a penalty, she should have no difficulty in winning, supposing the stake is good enough to attract Lord Stamford. In the Stewards' Plate there are certain penalties and al lowances ; but they are not so heavy as to altogether pre clude the good horses from running; so, in all likelihood, Asteroid, Atherstone, Fairwater, Buckstone, Stradella, and Zetland will join in the contest, and perhaps Tim Whiffler may also be tempted to try to wipe out the defeat inflicted on him by Mr. Merry's horse at Ascot. Buckstone beat Asteroid easily at Chester at 141 b, and they now meet at 71b, which, with the two severe heats so recently taken ortf of the former;at Ascot, gives Sir Joseph Hawley's horse Et great pull now; and, as he has to give Stradella only 171 b, instead of 281 b which he gave her for the Chester Cup, it stands to reason, despite the French mare's equivocal performance on the Roodee, that Asteroid is the best worth, trusting on this occasion. The other events to be decided are scarcely of any im portance. Although the Northumberland Plate stands for decision next week, no demonstration of any importance has yet been made in favour of any of the horses engaged, as much as, 10 to 1 being still offered on the field. At present I can see nothing with more formidable pretensions to carry off this rich stake than the three top weights, namely, Carbineer, Caller Ou, and Adventurer, giving the preference to the former, as I cannot forget his gallant struggle with Tim Whiffler in the Gold Vase at Ascot last year, where "'Tim' s only beat Carbineer by a short head. A FRESH MAN• BETTING AT MANCHESTER, SATURDAY. Speculation on the future moves along but slowly. For the Northumberland Plate Brighton was Ike a free l y. a vourite, and any advance upon 9to 1 was taken .
