HONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Continued activity is apparent in discount circles, and the demand to-day has been increased by the completion of the account in foreigu stocks and railway shares. Four per cent., however, is the minimum quotation in the open market as well as at the Bank of England. A further sum of £4,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The subscription list of the Venezuelan Loan will close to-morrow. The operatiobs in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce markets during the last few days have been of a very restricted character. The dealings in tea have been deferred until the public sales, which take place to-day. Suger has slightly receded in value, while coffee, rice, and fruit have remained at almost previous rates. The tallow market has been dull, and prices have shown a downward movement for both present and forward delivery. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 68f. 90c., ex Coupon—heavy. At the yearly me e ti ng of .the South Australian Banking Company, Mr. Devett in the chair, the report of which an extract has already been publiglnd in The Sun, Was unanimously adopted. The chairman stated that the new premises had been acquired for £4,000, and that they had thereby considerably improved their establishment. The directors would, with the approval of the ehare holders, still further increase the reserve fund which now reached £lOO,OOO. The balance from the year's account was £52,856 after the necessary deductions had been made, and a dividend of 10 percent, free of income-tax, was declared. Speculation in the market for the English Funds continues quiet, bat the quotations are steadily maintained, Consols being 92 1 for transfer, and 921 1 for the account. The Foreign market is the only department of the house which now presents an active appearance.

LAW INTELLIGENCE —This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Chief Justice Cockburn.) RAMSAY V. STEWART —CHARGE OP LIBEL. c Captain Alexander Ramsay, of Morne Park, near New r y, ` e 'rrxzerly in the 42d Highlanders, brought this action to vindicate his character from charges of the most unfounded character that had been cast upon it by the defendant, Captain Stewart, also formerly an (A:firer in the same regi ruent. The defendant married srmie years since a Miss Frazer, the sister of a Captain F razer, who was an officer in the 42d Highlanders, and they were in India to gether. The defendant was unknown to the plainliff till July last, w h en he came to Pack o l et, th e s away of y General Chesney, d ur i ng his absence, to forcibl carryeat y his wife. Packol e t was near to Morne Park, and Ge ne ral a Chesney and his wif e h a d asked the plaintiff to protect Mrs. a Y Stewart from her husband' s v i olence should it be neees and he promised them to d o so ; and it was in consequence, , of that interference that the libels complained of were written. The first libel complained of was to the following effect :—" In consequence of the gross outrage I suffered Yesterday from yen I lose not one moment in placing myself ‘4 41 . the hands of a friend; and it now becomes my p a i n f ul ' l lty to exp,ress to you, for which no doubt you are pre pared, th e '. your con d uc t was that of a coward, a viol a ti on o f -116 usages of society, and unbecoming the character of a -"art O f : honour and a gentleman, and that if necessary you Shall be denounced and branded as such by me on all occa :6:1118. You will therefore please communicate with me tinder cover to Mr. Hart, 32, Hollies-street, Merrion-square, The action arose through the quarrels of husband and Wife, the friends of the latter placing her under the protec tion of a third party. The wife yesterday said she left her husband through his ill.usage, and he this morning stated that he had the most right to complain of the treatment he he had received from her friends and relatives. The case was not concluded when we went to press. Ris Holiness, according to the Armonia, during the Present month will hold a Consistory for the Purpose of preconising the French Bishops nominated by the Emperor Napoleon, and of providing other vacant dioceses in various Catholic countries. The Holy Father has never been in such good health as at the present time.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREtT. THE 'WILFUL DAMAGE ACT.--COMMITTAL S WITHOUT FINES.—Two =SOS of wilful window-breaking came before Mr. Tyrwhitt this morning. In the first case, two women, named Maria Thomas and Harriett Prost, were charged with breaking a pane of glass of the value of £8 in the win dow of Mr. William carter, licensed victualler, of the Hay market; and in the second, a woman named Arabella triages, was charged with breaking a pone of glass of the value of 2s, 6d., not being able to carry out 12.-r intention of breaking one of the value of £2O, in the window of Mr. Wtn. Raymond Sams, Sams' Library, 1, St. James's-street. In Mr. Carter's case George Forster, the cellarman, saw the prisoners throw the stones, as also did Edward Bovey, 85 C, who said that while taking the prisoners to the sta tion Thomas Said that she would be revenged if she had se-eh years for it. Iu answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mr. Carter said the pane of glass was of the value of £B, and that they had been absent from his house for a quarter of an hour, and then returned and broke the window. The pris,ners adinivted breaking the glass, but said they had given a shilling to the barmaid in payment for some rum between some halfpence, and the barmaid refused to nit SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 16, 1861 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—This Day. The SPEAKER, took the chair at 10 minutes after 12 o'clock, a house not having been made before that time. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time :—Carmar then and Cardigan Railway (No. 1), Newry and Greenore Railway Pier and Wet Dock, North British Railway (Steamboats), The following bills were read a third time :—Edinburgh and Dunfermline and Perth (North British) Railway, Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, Newcastle and Carlisle Ruad, North Eastern Railway (Hull and Doncaster Branch), Scottish Central Railway. The following bills were considered, and ordered to be read a third time :—Great Eastern Railway, Great Northern Railway (Cheshire lines), and Bonelli's Electric Telegraph Company. The second reading of the London (City) Traffic Regu lation Bill was postponed until Thursday. FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. The house then went into committee on the bill. The consideration of clause 4 was resumed. Mr. BRIJ CE explained that the Government had lis tened with great attention to sugg - stions from all parties interested in these fisheries, and he believed that whilst the best parts of the Act of 1842 were conserved by this bill, it would likewise lead to the proper distribution of salmon, which all unbiassed and disinterested persons desired. The Government considered that the clause as amended would work well. Sir N. SOMERVILLE said he was a supporter, though reluctantly, of the compromise which had resulted in this bill, and it was rather too bad for its supporters to feel it their duty to op...ese such alterations in the clause on the part of the Government, which would legalise stake and bag nets, and thus destroy all salmon that ascended the rivers. Had the bill of the hon. member for Wexford (Mr. M'Mahon) not been interfered with by the Government, he believed it would have received the assent of the house. Mr. BRUCE denied that the clause as amended would legalise these nets. After much discussion, the committee divided on the clause as proposed to be amended, the Government having proposed the omission of the words "or any other waters," when there appeared— For the amendment 33 Against Majority —2 TATTERSALL'S MONDAY. Several verbal amendments were then agreed to. • Mr. REDMOND proposed the insertion of the words "or estuaries" after the word "rivers." The alteration was opposed.

THE OUTRAGE UPON YOUNG FEMALES.—Since Arthur Robert Willoughby Wade's apprehension a great many reports have become current with regard to his past career, which are far from flattering ; and there seems to be very little doubt that for some years he has been leading a loose discreditable life. When first he ar rived in Dorking, now several years since, he was the very pieture of "hard. upishness," and no one had any thing to say to him until Mr, Evelyn took him by the hand. Then he started upon a new existence, and being appointed adjutant of the 3d Administrative Battalion of Surrey Rifles, he became all at ones a man of sonaeimport ance, and obtained introductions into society of such a Class that he succeeded in engaging the affections of Miss 'Cole, a lady of good connections, whom he =flied. By this lady he haft had three children, one of whom has died since this sad affair was brought to light, and was buried on Satur day last, at Dorking. As a married man his conduct has been so bad that his wife has left him on several occa sions, and she had only returned to hint the last time, about six months ago, when he was arrested on these dis gusting charges. During the period of his wife's absence, Wade lived in open adultery with hie cAok, whom he re. presented to his wife as a married woman, and this cook was actually confined of a child at his house at Cotman dene. Wade's income as adjutant was probably about £3OO a year, and there was a likelihood of that being increased by about another hundred under the new regulations. He was making preparations, therefore, for improving his style of living, and increasing his estab lishment to an extent commensurate with his augmented income. The small furnished house at Cotmandene, hired at £4O a year, was about to be abandoned, and a much larger house, with beautiful g nuads, lately occupied by Miss Sumner' , bad been taken in S6ntb-street, at a rental of £6O a year, unfurnis,tf'd. A great, many men had been engaged for some weeks in paiii!jng and decoratin, and at the time when Wade's arrest put an end to all 5 ese ti ro jects, a man had been hired as coachmen, and everYtim 2 g seemed to indicate that a person with comfortable weans and a respectable establishment was about to take up his abode at the house in South-street. It now transpires that Wade had never paid the Men engaged on the decorations a single penny; the coachman has been left by himself in a cottage adjoining the residence, and ho does not know where to look for his wages; the horse which Wade rode was lent by Mr. Evelyn; and it is said that he Owes debts in Dorking to the amount of several hundred ponlids, which have been contracted within the last twelve months. Wade having been arrested on Friday, his wife, for whom the deepest commiseration is expressed, left Dorking on the following Monday, and returned to her relatives at Wimbledon. The child, wnose death is referred to above, was taken from Wimbledon to Dorking on Saturday last tc be interred. Since his apprehension cases are almost daily brought to the notice of the police in which Wade is said to be concerned. Many of these charges are perhaps un justly laid to his account ; bit if the concurrent testi mony of many witnesses is to be credited, morality is not one of the virtues which adorn the character of Arthur Willoughby Wade.— West Surrey Tunes; TALLEYRAND AND MADAME DE STAEL PRATTLING —According to Mr. Dendy's account of them in his newly published " Legends of the Lintel and the Ley."— ' Toujours gale, toujours la belle,' whi-pered Talleyrand, drawing his chin within his magnificent cravat, and how Porte themselves the Locks.'

Anne Maria Middleton, the barmaid, denied that the prisoners had given her a shilling, and said they used very filthy language. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should commit Thomas, who had not only committed a serious outrage, but had attempted to injure the barmaid's character for honesty, for two months with hard labour without the option of paying a fine, and he should order Frost to pay £5 damage and 20s. fine, or six weeks imprisonment in default. In Mr. Sams' case, Mr. George Lock, from Mr. Sams', deposed to seeing the prisoner Bridges, after attempting to break a pane of glass of the value of £2O, and failing to do so, deliberately drive her fist through a small pane. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked Mr. Lock whether anything had been said to the prisoner ? Mr. Lock—Not a word, neither did the prisoner say any thing. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was committed for a month with hard labour, without the option of pay ing a fine, WESI MINSTER. CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—Mrs. Mary Moir, 102, Denbigh-street, was charged with cutting a woman's head with a large water pitcher. Complainant said that she was servant to Mrs. Goodman, who occupied the whole of the upper part of the house l2e longing to the defendant. Mrs. Moir had no right to be there, but insisted upon going towards Mrs. Goodman's bedroom yesterday afternoon; and Mrs. Goodman having called complainant, she went to her, and laying hold of de fendant's dress, told her she must not go there, upon which defendant struck her a violent blow on the head with a water pitcher, and then ran out of the house, but followed by complainant and given into custody. Complainant had her head bandaged, and the water pitcher was produced with blood upon it. Mrs. Goodman said that the defendant came up and told her that as she was going away she would not be allowed so many privileges as she had enjayed. Witness desired her to leave that portion of the house, which did not belong to her, and called the servant, when defendant struck her as described, and the blood flowed copiously from the wound. She afterwards fled along the street. Joseph Fordham, 2, Moreton-terrace, said he met com plainant bleeding very much from a wound on the side of the head. He took the defendant. Complainant was taken to the hospital. ➢lr. Smith solicitor for the defendant, submitted that Mrs. Moir had a right to be at that part of the house, and that the wound was inflicted by accident, the complainant having pulled the defendant towards her. Mr. Selfe said he c -uld not try the question of right, but it his opinion were asked, the defendant had no business in that part of the house. Mrs. Goodman distinctly proved that the blow and wound were intentional. Mr. Selfe remanded the accused upon bail, LIFEBOATS.—=MtINIFICENT GIFT. The cost, amounting to £6uo, of the Bude Haven, Cornwall, new lifeboat establishment, has been presented to the National Lifeboat Institution by the surviving children of the late R. T. Garden, Esq., of Rivers Lyons, Ireland, as a memorial of their beloved mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Moore Garden. An inscription recording this philanthropic gift has been beautifully carved in stone, and placed over the doorways of the lifeboat house. The boat is 33 feet long, and rows 10 oars, double banked. She possesses the usual valuable qualities of the self-righting lifeboats of the institution. She was built by the Messrs. Forrest, of Limehouse, and her transporting carriage by Mr. J. Robinson, of Kentish -town. The boat and her carriage were yesterday (Monday) liberally taken free of charge by the South-Western Railway Com pany as far as Bideford; and on the 19th instant, being the natal day of the deceased lady, their inauguration takes place. The boathouse is a substantial and com modious erection, and was built from the design and specifications of C. H Cook, Esq., the honorary archi tect of the society. The new lifeboat establishment at Bude is now one of the most complete and efficient on the coast of the United Kingdom. Probably no heavier surf roll upon any part of our shores than in the vicinity of Bude—and fearful indeed have been the wrecks in the locality. Last winter twenty-six poor fellows perished there from the ill-fated ship Bencoolen, of Liverpool. This splendid and powerful new lifeboat will, it is hoped, be able to contend successfully with the heaviest of rollers. At midnight, on Thursday last, the Ipswich lifeboat stationed at Thorpeness, Suffolk, was the means, nnder God, of sav ing six men under the most perilous circumstances. She is a sister boat to the Bude lifeboat, and her cost was pre. sented to the institution by the town of Ipswich. The National Lifeboat Institution has now 125 lifeboats under its charge ; some of them are constantly engaged in saving shipwrecked crews in stormy weather; and during the past eighteen months nearly 600 persons have thus been snatched from a watery grave. THE NEW PRIMA DONNA,—MIIO. Antonietta Frieci was born in Vienna, in the year 1839, and it therefore now in her twenty-fourth year. When she was only fourteen, a writer in The Queen informs us, she fre quented the Conservatory of Music, in order to acquire the first knowledge of that art; and afterwards becoming ac quainted with Mme, Marchesi, the began to study singing under the direction of that renowned songstress. The rapid progress she made, and the talent she evinced, clearly showed that some day she would take a high position in her art, She made her debut at Pisa in 1857. Although a little town compared to those to which she was afterwards called, our readers must know that the Pisan public, com posed principally of students, is 'very hard to please. The brilliant success she met with there made her name known throughout Italy ; and after having charmed by her clever performances Livorno and Florence, she was en gaged to sing at Turin and at the San Carlo, Naples. she passed from one triumph to another, each public acknowledging her talent, and the more than extraordinary feeling (what the Italians call sentemento) that: she put into her acting. After having sung at Botogna and Lisbon, she was engaged for the the Imperial Theatre of Moscow, where she has been re-engaged (riconfermata) for the third sea. son. She was received there with the greatest enthusiasm, and wherever hills. Fricci sang, the house was crowded in every part, Sito had the honour of singing at a concert befiere the Empress of Russia, and received some splendid Presents, consisting of a diadem of brilliants, brooches, and necklaces, the Emperor and Empress expressing personally to her their high satisfaction. She is now at Covent garden for the second season. When she made her first appearance in London, almost every journal was of opinion that she bore a strong resemblance to Madame Grisi, in voice and acting, as well as in personal appearance, Un boubtedly Mlle. Fricci possesses rare talent, sufficient to make her a worthy substitute for that great prima donna. DISG?ACEFUL SCENES AT THE NEW Ross ELEC TION.—The Rev. Mr. M‘Mahon, of the Augustinian Convent, who has been confined to bed for a long time, was brought down to vote in a sedan chair. During his removal a vast multitude accompanied the rev. gentleman, whose wasted, almost death-like appearance created a strong sen sation. On his arrival at the sessions-house the high sheriff and staff took the books outside, as the chair could not be got into the building. After recording his vote for Mr. M'Kenna, the rev, gentleman was carried back to the con vent. The excitement was now at its full height. Mr. M 'Kenna's principal supporters proceeded to the house of the Rev, D. Kenny, P.P,, the entrance to which is in the chapel yard. The Rev. Mr. Neville and the Rev, Mr. Sinnott, two of the curates, were inside along with the parish priest. The visit of Mr .M 'Kenna's supporters was made for thepurpose of asking the parochial clergy to come and vote, and thereby turn the majority in favour of Mr. M'Kenna. A large excited crowd assembled in the chapel-yard. The door was knocked at repeatedly and loudly, but none of the rev. gentlemen came to the door. A scene such as never was equaliled in New Ross then ensued. The women went to the front windows and poured abuse, execrations, and male dictions on the clergy. It was agreed to stop dues and all manner of incomes from them. Though the knocker of the door had been used by the gentlemen in a manner sufficient to disturb the nerves of the most somnolent, but without effect, so far as inducing the clergymen to some out, yet there were others who thought good would come from knocking, and to it they fell, kicking, leaping at it, and pushing it until the door was smashed to pieces, and then in rushed the godly and patriotic. Some collared the obligedß force ev. their et r oi . r N w standeavyil up o e pn u th p hie tt s g sdt a en i fi n ern s i t c we t hhae as w rbe a et l sh l t, the Rev . could, others h ne o nd u nt g yo ht to was tty to stem the current of what one who ought to be a judge characterised as fiends. The police arrived, and the rev. gentlemen were extricated. After this the chapel doors were closed, not to allow the continuance of such conduct within sight of the altar. All this conduct was brought about because the Rev. D. Kenny would not break a pro mise that he lied made, that he would not vote for or take any part with either of the candidates at the present election. The Rev. W. Neville remained for some time walking in front of the chapel, where he htd to endure hearing the ob servations of many not the most reputable in town,— We.v- Jo? d Constitution, $33 65i I 122 3 11 431 3 lu2} 2 HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 15.

" Manhattan" says Mr. Seward has written many happy and truthful things since this wac began, particularly about its being frequently brought to a close inside of sixty days, but he has written nothing that has sunk so deep into men's hearts, as to compare his power with that of the Queen of England. Lord Lyons, in a despatch to Earl Russell of Nov. 14, 1861, relates the fol. lowing as words addressed to him by Mr. Seward :—" My lord, I can touch a bell on my right hand, and order the arrest of a citizen at Ohio; I can touch the bell again, and order the imprisonment of a citizen of New YLrk, and no power on earth, except that of the President, can release them. Can the Queen of England do as much r' A VULGAR VIEW OF THE EXHIBITION MEMO RIAL OF 1851 AND THE PRINCE CONSORT.—WhaI shadowy notion of allegory there was in the original design —Britannia as personified by the Queen, and supported by the Four Quarters of the Globe—has been lost in the sub stitution of that of Prince Albert. The statue itself is a fair likeness, and exhibits the Prince in the robe of the Bath, a portion of which it seems consists of theatrical buskins, the usual stage property of the first and second bandits; and the pose, as a gardener in our hearing described it, is the familiar one of "a heasy hattitude with is and on is ip." The statue surmounts a temple, and is perched on a very depressed knob which looks like a column arrested in its growth. The whole structure has been fixed over a sort of inchoate fountain which hardly rises above the dignity of a drain; and, on the whole, the less said about this the last British attempt at high art—it is 42 feet, high though—the better. The monument is tame, and dull, and weak. Still we cannot be hard on the artist; for poor Mr, Durham displaying his manly form in court dress at the head or the., procession is a punishment which ought to have been re served for greater sinners in art than this prosaic crafts man.—Saturdery Review. THE COMMEMORATION AT OXFORD, OXFORD, ILIC9 15. The solemn, quiet days of Oxford's academic year, the regular rontine of chapel and of college, end with this week in all the joviality which marks " Commemoration." In this great University re joicing dreary recollections of " gated" days, ruined honours, and plucked fama are all alike forgotten. It is Commemoration week—when unpopular proc- tors have to screw up their courage tee meet the un dergraduates in the Theatre; when gay cre'veds and pleasant parties throng the fine old College Qaads ; when the dim religious-looking windows are filled wi±:bloonaieg faces, and the anctuaries of the grass plots are trodden unheeded. Oxford at all times is a cheerful place, and in Commemoration time is merrier than ever; but the Commemoration of this year will be one, the like of which the University 'les never seen since when, just 49 years ego, the Sheldonian Theatre was honoured with the presence of the Allied Sovereigns, when George IV. was Re gent. But, even the rejoicings of that great occasion are likely to be surpassed on this, for now the under• graduates have to welcome their late fellow-gowns man and his fair young bride, and the University am thorities have to do honour to one who hereafter it is to be believed will do such honour to them, and, over and above all, to suit the convenience of their Royal visitors, the fetes and rejoicings of Commemoration this year have all to be said or sung, danced or eaten, in two long summer days, instead of six. The pro gramme offered for the acceptance, and, if possible, for the enjoyment also of the youthful pair is of the same diversified kind as marked every day of the Prince's long route through Canada into the far west beyond the 11Iississippi. It is such a programme as only a very young and very happy pair could venture to undertake, and we much doubt if a young Princess was ever called upon, as an enjoyment, to go through so much before, Leav ing aside the railway journey down to this city to morrow, there are also private receptions and public routes to be gone through—a public welcome, with addresses, at Magdalen-bridge, a procession through Oxford, a grand distribution of prizes to volunteers, a special congregation in the Sheldenian Theatre, a Fancy Fair and Bantar which their Royal High nesses are to open, a Horticultural and Flower Show to which they are to accord a similar honour, a mag nificent banquet to which 400 guests will sit down in the hall of Christchurch in the evening, and a ball in the beautiful new Corn Exchange, where the visitors are somewhat rashly expected not only to find room for themselves, but room for the dancing also. This is a fair amount of fes'ivity for one day, and that which follows it is just as good or as bed —certainly beginning earlier and probably ending later, and including another grand banquet and ball, a rowing match, the procession of boats, a Free masons' fete, a great collation at All Souls, and, above and beyond all, the Enccenia or Commemora tion—where the undergraduates can express their opinion, and when they will avail themselves of their privilege to the utmost, as Dr. Pusey and others already know. With such great things on hand, is is almost needless to say in what a fever of prepara tion Oxford is just now. Great Deans, Wardens, and Principals are immersed in arrangements for banquets and dances, and have to bend their minds to the minute contemplation of such frivolities as never entered the heads of Dons before. In every College committees of some sort or kind are sitting, gigantic piles of plates and table furniture, more or less attractive, may be found in odd nooks and out of-the-way corners, and in every " Quad" the residence of some fortunate dispenser of patronage, in the way of tickets, may be known at once by the hurried arrivals and slow disappointed de partures of the applicants, who come to prove, but always in vain, that there is room at banquet and at hall for them. The claim for tickets of every kind has been enormous, and the courtesy and kindly wish of the university authorities to favour the applications of those who had even the re motest pretensions to he present on any occasion have been tasked to the utmost. No reduction in the number of these applications is likely to be found as time draws on. Every train brings in fresh crowds of visitors, and every minute the car riages of the country gentry come rolling in. Ac commodation in the literal sense of the term is scarcely to be had for money, and certainly not for love, and the local journals, who appear to have for the thousandth time consulted the "oldest inhabi tant" declare on his unimpeachable authority that Oxford never was so full. It is quite easy to believe this when we find that the notices of beds to let have all disappeared from the heart of the city, and been driven to the remotest purlieus, such as would only be discovered in the wanderings of some inniess travellers. On the Sunday before Commemoration Day all, without exception, high or low, gentle or simple, come to promenade in the evening under the grand old avenue of elms in Christchurch. meadow. On this occasion, too, all the belles in Oxford do their best to appear in toilettes worthy the occasion, and hence its name of " Show Sunday." Last Sunday it was a mere contradiction in terms to call it a walk, or a pro menade, or a show, or anything but a dense crowd which feebly tried to circulate along the avenue or kept standing still till dusk, when the bell rang and the solemn booming from " Tom Tower" rang out the last exhibitors from the " Show," to be early afoot again this morning, beseeching, intriguing, striving in every way known to female inge nuity for tickets for one of the many ce lebrations to-morrow. Fortunately for the Princess, and fortunately, perhaps, for the im pressions which she will take away from this famous seat of learning, Thursday is to b 3 a quiet day—a day devoted to a long and strictly private visit to the famous monuments and buildings of the Univer sity. This, however, is to be the only quiet day, for on Tuesday and Wednesday there will be not a moment's rest for either of the Royal visitors. Amid the general bustle and excitement going on on all sides, even the quaint, gray old Colleges are putting on a gayer aspect. The turf of the quad rangles, always beautifully soft and green, has been mowed and rolled until it looks like the finest ce 2vet. The Men's rooms have been swept and garzh lsfeed. for the visits of critical sisters and cousins, and Cha pels L d Halls ' , eve been trimmed up so as y e t tiseir best. The noble re fteoeltoooryk ofth ecirhriosl;:e'tceharb, in wlecd.h the Prince and Princess are to be entertained at the g: and banquet, has been tastefully re-decorated, and the portraies of many of the Many Fiminent men who one at as students within its Walls, having been cleererly cleaned and restored, now present a brilliant aeid imposing erray.

The Corn - E x change, a l ar g e new buuding, in tne interior of w hich coloured brickwork is introduced with novel and striking effect, is, under the busy hands of painters and upholsterers, assuming a festive appearance worthy of the two balls which are to take place there on 2uccessive evenings, and which, it is certain, from the number of tickets issued, will, as we have intimated, be densely crowded. In front of the Town-hall the inscription "Let the earth rejoice and the nations be glad" will blaze at night in letters of fire. Along the High-street, from Magdalen-bridge to St. Aldates, wooden galleries Piave been raised at many convenient and some in convenient positions for the accommodation of spec tators to view the entrance of the Prince and Prin cess. Stout barriers have also been erected to guard all the entrances to the Sheldonian Theatre, and to check a premature irruption of violent under graduates or excited strangers. A more substantial uarantee, however, for peace and order has been ished by the arrival o f Superintendent Walker, ADivision of the M etro p olitan Police, with • picked men, to whom the University hus for the time all its ancient privileges. - be scarcely any town in England furh. of the . 200 of his 6nsfEaeu• which has not at some time or other been given 0 ver to the moral guardianship of this celebrated r tivi sion of Police and its experienced leader, anz t here is little doubt that Superintendent 'Walker wit l not fail in his first visit to a University town to grad uate with honours.

It may not be uninteresting to note, at the pre sent time, when so much feeling respecting the De partment of Science and Art is being exploded, and those inimical to its administration, and denying its merits or services as a state institution, are loud in their fears about the future occupancy of tha ground occupied by the late International Exixibition, the estimation by foreign critics of this establishment, which was directly created under the influence and suggestion of the Prince Consort. 'We have had handed to us an autograph lettor from the Emperor of Austria to the Archduke Rainer, which was registered as a state document but a month or two back, and which we will present without comment or further introduction : " Dear Cousin Archduke Raieker,— " Inasmuch as it is an urgent want for the eleva tion of Austrian industry to accord as inuch assist ance as possible to the native manufacturers, who so much and in such large numbers desire to further commercial activity through the medium of art and science, and in particular by the improvement of taste, I have given orders that an institution, to be named the ' Austrian Museum of Art and Industry, shall be founded as soon as possible. Within this museum will be gathered objects out of the collections of my Palace, the Belvedere Arsenal, the University of Vienna, the Polytechnic Institutions, and from other public buildings of the same kind. These objects will be lent, under reser vation of the rights of property, and after having served their purpose will be returned in exchange for others. I have also every confidence in the proved patriotism of our various towns, and espe cially of my chief and royal city of Vienna, as well as that of the nobles and the public in general, that they will, after the example of my palaces, render the museum useful by their scientific or artistic collections. " But inasmuch as the establishment of this museum, on account of the liberal scale upon which it is to be founded, will at all events require some time for preparation, and as the want of such an institution is urgently demanded by the art-indus try of the day, I have granted the use of the nanquet ting-house of my palace for the provisional carrying out of the museum and awaiting the future enlarge ment of the same. " The works of art destined to be exhibited there are from my Palace Library, from the Belvedere Picture Gallery, the furniture and tapestry of my town palace and country palaces, Schonbrun, L3xenberg, and others, the Cabinet of Antiquities, the Ambraser Collection, my Treasury, and from the arsenal before the Belvedere line. In this manner it is to be hoped that the corporation of Vienna, the nobility, and public, will also contri bute articles to the museum from time to time out of their Vienna City Arsenal and private collections. " The works of art are to be put in good order, and labelled with the necessary explanations to assist examination and study before being sent in. Thus an opportunity is afforded to the Austrian manufacturers themselves to send rare and beautiful objects to be exhibited. In connection with the museum will be photographic and casting depart mmts. " But, first of all, a charter must be granted, and. for the working of this as well as for all the prepa rations necessary for the opening of the museum, I have considered it necessary to name a provisiond committee, which, under the presidency of the Ministerial Chief of Department Carl Edlen a Sevi— nisky, will consist of Johan Gabriel Seial, Master of my Treasury and Keeper of my Cabinets of Coins and Antiquities ; Dr. Gustav Heider, the Ministerial Art Referee and Secretary ; and of the Professor Extraordinary of the History of the Fine Arts at the University of Vienna, Rudolph Von Eitelberger, to whom I have given power, in case of unforeseen necessity, to add another to their number, and if required to consult connoisseurs. This committee has its propositions, and the charter, as decided on by them, ready to lay before you, for your opinion immediately, and I hope this oppor tunity will be mAde the best use of, and that the charter, as well as any farther propositions, may be laid before me at the very earliest for my final de cision.

GENERAL SICKLES...-. " ManilhttaTl" says the freedom of the city of New York, and the use of the gove rnor's room, was lately tendered to General Dan sickles, who is a proof living that the less a man knows about military affairs the better is he qualified to commend a division of 30,000 men. Dan tells a good thing of Lin coln. He saye, " When the President on Thursday heard the rumour that Grant had carried all the redoubts, he hu morously said, I wish he could carry all the doubts abou4 Vicksburg, and I Fhould be happy,' "
