The Prince is, however, in excellent health, and is now in Germany with his young wife. His recent secret marriage with a Russian lady named Bularel has greatly irritated the Imperial family of Russia, and led to the withdrawal of his command," Tne Ceurrier de la Drome announces that the harvest is finished in the plains of La Valloire, and that the crop is most satisfactory both as regards quantity and qua lity.

The country markets held on Saturday were firm for wheat, and prices advanced ls. per quarter. 13arley, oats, beans, and peas, supported previous rates, with a moderate demand. In flour, sales progressed somewhat slowly, yet the quotations ruled firm. Advices from New York state that the export demand for wheat and flour was moderately active, and that con siderable quantities of produce were on passage to London and Liverpool, Tne Continental markets are generally flat. Small supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 15,629 quarters of wheat, 1,628 barley, 17,012 oats, 173 beans, 45 peas, 4,425 maize, 116 sacks and 14,140 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this mcrnirg's market the receipts of home grown wheat were on a very moderate scale. Nothwith standing the increased firmness in the tt ade in the country markets held at the close of last week, the demand both for red and white samples was in a sluggish state. Compared with Monday last no quotable change took place in the currency, factors being indisposed to pr ess sates , but many offers were made at a reduction of is per quarter from this day se'nnight, The heaviness was caused by the favour able change in the weather for harvest operations. The market was well supplied with most descriptions of foreign wheat. Generally speaking, the demand ruled in active, and the amount of business transacted was on a very moderate scale, at previous quotations. In floating cargoes of grain a fair business was done on former terms. There was a parcel of new barley on the Kentish stands, in but middling condition. With old and foreign produce the market was scantily supplied, yet the inquiry was far from active, at previous rates. Malt changed hands slowly. The currency, however, was unchanged from Monday last. The supply of oats on offer was moderately good. No change took place in the value of any description, but the demand was decidedly inactive. Beans were in limited supply but slow request at late rates. Peas were steady in price. All descriptions, however met a slow sale, notwithstanding that the supply on offer was very moderate. lhere was a parcel of new hog pees on sale. The supply of American flour on the stands was tolerably large, and the demand ruled inactive, at late rates. Town and country made qualities met a slow sale, on former ms.

IN RE LEWIS This banlrupt was a wine merchant in the City, and this was an application for order of discharge. The bsnkrupt had been indicted for fraudulently obtain ing goods,fraudulently disposing of goods, and generally for fraudulent trade, but was acquitted on each indictment. The assignees taking into consideration the circumstances did not feel it their duty to oppose the application, Mr. Lawrence, for one of the creditors, who was also one of the prosecutors, suggested that the case should stand over until the return of Mr. Commissioner Goulburn. Hls Honour, however, considered that after what the bankrupt had undergone, and he had passed cn his accounts before he was indicted, he was now entitled to his discharge. Order made accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH ILLNESS.—A young woman named Ann Couk was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to commit suicide at the Serpentine, Hyde park. From the evidence of George Lane, a private of the 60th Rifles, it appeared that while passing through Hyde-park the previous evening, he was informed that a young woman had thrown herself into the Serpentine. He immediately jumped into the water and rescued her, she being at the time out of her depth. The young woman said she was very sorry for what she had done. Mr. Trywhitt having told the young woman that she was much indebted to the soldier, asked whether any one connected with her was present? The mother of the accused stepped forward, and said that her daughter had been suffering from a diseased chest and poisoned finger, and she had not been able to give satisfac tion to her employers, and this had preyed on her mind. She would take her daughter home and take care of her. Mr. Tyrwhitt inquired whether the young woman had ever attempted anything of the sort before, and the mother said bhe had not. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after addressing some kind remarks to the young woman, gave her up to her mother. THAMES. SINGULAR FRAUDS ON SHOPKEEPERS.—EIIen Callahan 22, Ann Dewly, 30, and Ellen Sheridan, alias Sullivan, with other aliases, 23, who all refused to give their ad dresses, were brought before Mr, Partridge, charged with committing frauds on shopkeepers. The prisoners are all natives of Ireland, and kept up a continual clamour. They have been going about the dis trict with a fourth Irishwoman occasionally, for some time, and the modus operandi of this female gang of swindlers in a small scale was described by Mr. George Pound, a beer seller, at the corner of Patterson-street and Charles• street, Stepney. He said the prisoner Callahan came into my shop by herself. She asked for a bottle of lemonade, and tendered a five-shilling piece in payment. At the same time she asked me to give her sixpences in change, I put down 9 sixpences and 3 pence on the co4n ter, deddcting from the dollar the price of the lemonadd The pri-oner asked me the price of the bottle of lemonade, and on my answering that it was 3d., she said, " I won't have it," and put down the change I had given her on the counter, but instead f 4s. 9d. she only returned 3s. 9d., and walked out of the shop. The other prisoners Dewry and Sheridan, and another woman joined her. I knew I had been swindled of a shilling, and followed them until I met a policeman, and gave them into custody. One of the Irishwomen made her escape. Callahan here exclaimed, " I am guilty of stealing the shilling, I picked it up oft the counter, because he left it there." Mr. Pound —She only gave me 3s, 9d, when I returned hex the ss. piece. Francis Toy, greengrocer, of 33, Clarke-street, Stepney, said the three prisoners and another woman came into his shop. Davey said, " Will you serve me with 31b. of pota toes ?" He weighed them, and she first directed him to put the potatoes into Callahan's apron, and then said, "Stop a minute, let them stop on the scale," and gave him a crown piece. She asked him for all sixpences in change. He had not got sufficient sixpences, and gave her four six pences and 3s. in change. He counted the whole of it into her hand, and said, "Now, I have got to take 2id. for the potatoes." Davey then said she wanted a half-crown piece for some of the silver, and put down 4s. on the counter, and he told her there was only 45., and she asserted that was all he had given her. He ordered her to put the shilling she had in her hand on the counter, and she did so, and at the same time took up a sixpence. He seized hold of her left hand, recovered the whole of his change, and said, " You vagabond, you want to rob me." He turned all the women out of the shop, and while doing so one of them stole a large cuc,imber. Sarah Murdle, sister of Mr. Thomas Murdle, baker, 32, Clark-street, Stepney, said Callahan came into my brother's shop and asked for a loaf. She gave a five shil- ling piece, and I gave her 4s. fid, in silver and 22d. in coppers. The prisoner said she could get a half quartern loaf any where for 3d., and demanded her five shilling piece again. I gave it to her, and she only returned to me 3s 61. in silver and the half-pence. Mr. Murdle came into the shop and demanded the other shilling, which she had in her hand. It was returned, and she then wanted the loaf again. I refused to let her have it, and she left the shop. Henry Lewis, No. 203 K, said he took the prisoners into custody. They had all been in custody before, and had given much trouble to shopkeepers. The tour Irish women, one of whom escaped from him, had been plunder ing and swindling tradesmen. Mr. Partridge —I shall convict all the prisoners for trial Take the depositions, Mr. Bawdier. ROASTED ALIVE.—A melancholy case of empiri cism was last week brought before one of the cor rectional tribunals of the west of France. The accused is an herb doctor, who was then charged with having a short time previously literally baked a woman alive in order to cure an attack of rheumatism from which she had long suffered. The cure for this disorder. practised by the Sieur Lenoble " with success upon his own father," was to put his patients, lying in a bed of reeds freshly plucked from a river, in a baker's oven till their couch should be reduced to power with the heat. The husband of the woman whom Lenoble las t cooked deposed to her having, when abut up an hour in the oven, complained that her side was being burned. The quack ascended into the charnbre ardente and applied some leaves to the burn. He had hardly descended when the patient complained of another burn, The same remedy was no sooner applied to it than the woman Carr said that ber physician "must remain with her in the stove till the rheumatism would be baked out of her." She then cried that she felt herself ill from head to foot, on wh:eh Lenoble assured her that it was nothing, for that if see wanted to be cured she must endure all the suffering it was possible to inflict on her. After a long interval of silence, which struck the quack as being very strange, "seeing that the woman chatted to him during the application of the cure," he resolved to draw her out of the oven. She was then senseless. Vinegar and reed roots were then applied, but without effect; and nest morning the unhappy woman died without having in the meantime shown any sign of consciousness. Lenoble was condemned only to pay a tine of 50f, and to six months' imprisonment. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. PRUSSIA. Prince Frederick William of Prussia, cousin to the King, is seriously ill. The last bulletin published states that the Prince has not slept so tranquilly as on the preceding night, but otherwise there is no change in the situation. The Prince still possesses all his faculties, but does not speak. His sons, the Princes George and Alexander, have ar rived at Berlin. THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS---This Evening. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 12 o'clock. PROGRESS OF BUSINESS. The Consolidated Fund Appropriation Bill was read a third time and passed. The Commons' amendments to the District Parochial Churches (Ireland) Bill were considered and agreed to. The Commons' amendments to the British Columbia Boundaries Bill were considered and agreed to. The Commons amendments to the Drainage and Im provement of Lands (Ireland) Bill were coasidered and agreed to. ALKALI WORKS REGULATION BILL. The Commons' reasons fot insisting on one of the amendments made by them to this hll, to which their lord ships have di,agreed, were considered. The Earl of DERBY was of opinion that the bill was scarcely worth passing with the amendment; but, on the motion of Lord Stanley of AlCerley, the amendment was agreed to. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE called attention to the proposed guaranty of the lonian Islands when trans ferred to Greece, as appearing from the first article of the fourth Protocol of the Conterence held at the Foreign Office, relating to Greek affairs, and recently presented to the haute by command of h er Majesty. The noble lord doubted whether the annexation of the islands to Greece would be followed by the generous expectations enter tained by his noble friend, Earl Russell, and, in support of his opinions quoted from the fitter of a correspon oent of his relating a few of the incidents occurring in the recent disturbances at Athens. The noble lord hoped that since the cession of the islands was not fully completed the subject might be further considered. Earl RUSSE LL considered that as the negotiations in reference to the cession of the lonian Islands had com • menced with the opening of the session, and been continued with mere or less activity from that time to the present, the conduct of her Majesty's Government had been virtually endorsed by their lordshi s, for no objection had been raised to it either by th e noble ord who drew attention to it, or by any other member of their lordship's house. The noble earl thought he had good grounds for the sanguine hopes he entertained for the future of Greeec. The young Prince, George 1., was full of courage, and he was well advised by a Minister of experience, who entered on his new mission with spirit and hop-fulness oqual to that exhibited by the young Prince ; and perhaps by the time their lordships met again they would see whose expectations were nearer the truth. The Earl of DE RBY said that although it was tzue that Parliament had not made any objection to the cession of the lonian Islands, it must also be remembered that it was a subject with which Parliament had nothing to do. It would be difficult to conceive of an act more weakening to the British Crown, and more strengthening, perhaps, to other Powers, than the cession of these islands; but if there were anything wanting to odd to the enormity of the dip lomatic error made in this case, it would be the fact of the present condition of the country to which those islands are ceded. The noble earl wa's quite willing to bear witness to the courage of the young Prince, George the First. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. RETURNS. A 'urge number of unopposed returns were ordered. _ THE 11HOW COURT-MARTIAL. _ _ Mr. CONINGHAM intimated that owing to the late period of the session, and the recent date the papers were laid on the table, he should not proceed with his motion on this subject; but he should take the earliest opportunity next session of bringing it forward. TROOPS IN INDIA. The HON. GENTLEMAN also intimated that early next session he should call the attention of the house to the anomalous position of the Commander-in-Chief with respect to the Indian army, and whether it was not expedient that that army should be placed in the same favourable position, with regard to liberty and treatment, as that at home. SALE OF INTOXICATING LIQUORS. Mr. LAWSON gave notice that early next session he should introduce a bill to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors, in the event of a certain number of assessed house holders deciding by a majority in favour of the adoption of such a course. THE BASIN AT PORTSMOUTH. In reply to Mr. CORRY, Lord C. PAGET said that, during the recess, it would be the duty of the Admiralty to prepare a private bill to con struct the basin at Portsmouth. The cost would be asked in the ordinary way in the navy estimates. It was his in tention early next session to move the appointment of a select committee on basins and docks. RE-MARRIAGE OF DISSENTERS. Sir M. PE t 0 asked her Majesty's Government whether they had heard of the re-marriage of a Mr and Mrs. Hulin by the Rev. Horatio Walmekley, vicar of St. Briavels, Gloucestershire, after they had been previously married in a Dissenting chapel, and on which re-marriage the vicar entered the parti.s in his register-book as bachelor and spinster, knowing of the previous marriage; and whether her Majesty's Government would prosecute the vicar for making such entries unt..er the statute 7th George IV., sec. 29? Mr. BRUCE did not consider that the conduct of the vicar rendered him liable to prosecution under the act spe cified. Either the first marriage was valid or not. The offence might be one against good manners and the views of man, but not against the law. NAUTICAL SCHOOLS AT GREENWICH. Sir M. PETO asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether, any deoision had .yet been come to. b y t heAdmi.- ralty with respect. tot the building for the Nautical School School at Greenwick; and whether .the objects ,aimed at could be gained without incurring so large an outlay for additional buildings as contemplated ? Mr. STANSFELD, in the first place, intimated that through a mistake in one of the Malta papers, a despatch from Aciniiral Codrinston at Malta had not been in cluded in the correspondence on tire table. The Secretary for the Admiralty had been blamed for not printing the letter, but the accident was no fault of his. The omission would be rectified without any further delay. The hon. gentleman then entered into a lengthened explanation of the steps taken with respect to the enlargement of these schools, so as to adapt them to present requirements and the health of the 800 boys. The cost of the new wing, instead of costing £25,000, would not exceed £3,000 or £4,000, and the alterations in the chapel about £750. The boys would attend the chapel with all the other inmates of the college. THE ORDER OF ST. MICHAEL AND ST. GEORGE. Lord E. BRUCE asked whether, in the event of the withdrawal of protection from the lonian Isles, her Ma jesty would continue to confer the order of St. Michael and St. George on persons she might tbink proper. Mr. FORTESCUE replied that her Majesty would cer tainly continue, as heretofore, to hold the power of confer ring these honours, and it would not therefore be trans ferred to the King of Greece with the lonian Islands. PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENT. Mr. PUGH asked the President of the Poor-law Board whether it was the intention of Government to introduce next session any bill with instructions to the parochial as sessment committees, &c. ? Mr. VILLIERS was not in a position to state what course the Government might think proper to adopt in order to procure a better assessment. Early next session, how ever, he should be happy to intimate their intentions. ROMAN CATHOLIC BURYING GROUND AT • SYDENHAM. a quo- Mt.

CECIL asked the First Commissioner of Works if he hi,d given attention to a petition from the inhabitants of Bayswater and Kennington. Mr. COOPER replied in the affirmative, and that it was quite impossible to grant its prayer to keep open a road up s to one o'clock in the morning, because the park. would thll be thrown open to the bl" and as it consisted . of 300 pu le, acres, it could not be propeily watched, and certainly not lighted, HERAT. In reply to Mr. H. SErsiouit, Mr. LAYARD said he had received a telegram statfn i g that Herat had been taken. He had not received any news to the effect that an attempt had been made to retake it. CLONMEL AUXILIARY LUNATIC ASYLUM. In reply to Mr. BLAKE, Sir R. PEEL intimated that Dr. Edmonstone had been appointed to the post of assistant -surgeon. BANDEE AND KIRWEE PRIZE MONEY. In reply to Mr. S. FITZGE RALD, The CHANCELLOR of the E XCHEQUER replied that the papers about to be laid on the table would afford the fullest information on this subject. The matter, as already explained by the noble lord at the head of the Government, was in abeysnce. NENAGH ASSIZES. Mr, BLAKE ogled the attention o f th e S ecre t ar y for Ireland to a statement in the newspapers, sayit tg that a man who had been charged with firing at Mr. Ch we Jones had been induced, though innocent, by food and promises of money by the authorities, to sign a false statement that he was one of the guilty parties. The ATTORNE Y-GENERAL for IRELAND com plained that the question had been put without notice to those who knew nothing about the matter. He had, how ever, received a letter stating that the jury could not agree with respect to one man. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were agreed to : Telegraphs, Companies Clauses, Railway Clauses, and Charitable Uses. EXHIBITION MEDALS BILL. Mr. AYRTOA moved that this bill be read a third time this day week. He stated his objections to the bill at great length, and urged the lateness of the session, and their recent acquaintance with the bill, as a reason for not agreeing to its provi4ono. The LORI) MAYOR strongly supported the bill. Mr. BUTT opposed the meisure, because it would intro d ce an entirely new and dangerous principle into the criminal law. COI. FRENCH likewise opposed the bill, as also did Mr. J. POWELL, who had hoped that it might be amended in Committee. The house divided, when the e appeared— For the third reading Against Majority The bill was then read a third time and passed. Lord R. CECIL gave notice that, early next session, he should propose a standing order to prevent the surreptitious passing of bills in this way. (Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER explained that the bill was not passed in any irregular way. Lord R. CECIL said the bill was only circulated two hours before those proceedings. (Hear, hear.) BENCHERS' JURISDICTION AND AUTHORITY BILL. On the motion of Sir G. BOWYER, the order for the second reading was discharged. The house was counted out at 6 o'clock. SPORTING NOTES. N The races at Southampton, Winchester, and ham last week had no effect on the betting for futureoeenttting with the exception of the increased support awardvedtso Anfleld for the Goodwood Stakes. he Nottingham Meet ing introduced us to nothing better than the Clown an d Garotter among the two year olds, but both these horses showed a great improvement in looks, and the form of Lord Hastinga's youngster must be considered first-class, for he got second in the Nottingham Nursery Plate with Bst 91b, giving the winner (Inverness) ',.91b, and the third (La Belle Feronniere) ',olb, and as the latter managed at Stamford to get close to Coeur de Lion at 61b, Garotter will be worth watching for his future engagements, though the fact of his being of the blood of West Australian will always stop him over a long distance. Lord Hastings, who came of age on Thursday last, was in luck at the meeting, for he managed to win a couple of races with G arotter,and the Brigad e He dicap with Tippler, and the latter h as p roved to be a horseuseful to his lordship since he got him at Ascot. Lord Stamford's luck, en the contrary, was dead out, for he was only credited with one race, and that was by the aid of Revolver, who seems to like the course, as he was also successful for the Handicap in the Spring. Dulcibella's true form was at last exposed, and like the msjority of "bottled-up" horses, she failed to fulfil the expectations formed respecting her, and the race she tried for ended in the two three-year olds who started getting first and second, the winning honour being achieved by Erin- go-Bragh, who turned out to be the best Cliff's stable could Lroduoe, and their non-estimation of his chance is proved by the long price offered against him at the start, though he luckily proved to be one of a lot against whom his owner accepted " four monkeys" the previous week, Had Blithfield, my selected, been better ridden round the last turn he would have landed the prize to a certainty, for he lost fully half-a-dozen lengths there, and to add to his misfortune, one of his plates came off just within the distance, and he was nearly thrown down, so that it is some thing wonderful that he should get within half a length of tho winner after all. At Winchester Molly Carew made her fifth appearance this year, and though she looked as if she had done no work for a month, she managed to beat Hengist, who had been tried at home to give Beck) Sharpe 101 b, so that her form must still be looked upon the best as that has been exhibited yet. She un fortunately met with an accident on returning from the course, by which the fleshy part about half-way between her shoulder and stifle was cut through to the bone, and this will prevent her showing again in public for the re mainder of this year at least. Among the lot she beat last Tuesday was Eastminster, a son of Newminster out of Cal cutta, who will do better whenever he runs thoroughly prepared. The Goodwood meeting commences to-morrow with one of the best programmes that has ever been issued. The list extends td no fewer than thirty-three items, spread over Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. There are twenty-six horses nominated for the Levant Stakes, the best amongst them being Durham and Crytheria. Lord Zetland will have no difficulty with the Gratwieke Stakes with his high-bred Zapateado, as also the Four Year Old race with Piccador. There are 73 horses entered for the Stewards Cup ; but to analyse the merits of those likely to take part in the affray would be a sheer waste of time. I will only select a few, one of which may furnish the winner —viz., Muezzin, Keane, Bionde la, Cheerful, and Dolphin. The list for Wednesday also extends to eight races, includ ing the Goodwood Stakes, the Findou Stakes, the Draw ing-room Stake , ', and the Goodwood Derby, to all of which great interest attaehes. The starters for the Goodwood Stakes will be selected from the following Yrs. st. lb. Maid of Masham filly .. 4 8 11 Aldcroft. Bellman .. 5 8 6 Challoner. Loiterer Knutsford Grimston Balham Magnum Bonum 4 7 1 Daley. Bandage 4 612 Drewe. E venhand Barchettina Anfield Blondin Zapateado Blackdown 3 6 2 Mordan. Brian Boru Wasp gelding Canzonette. Lord lirlasgow's filly has far too much weight. Bellman, if in anything like the same form when he beat Calltr Ou last, year in Ireland, ought to have a great chance, but that he can give Zealand 91b. Ido not believe. If the latter was in here at 7st litb it would be odds on him, as he is nearly the equal of Buckatone, for in the Epsom Cup he beat the latter at only a difference of 4lb. Loiterer is doing good steady work, but Ido not think him class enough. Knuts ford has been knocked about in the betting ; but if he comes to the post in anything like his last year's form, I would look no farther for the winner. Grimsotfon,thßemalhawmi:l Magnum Bonum, and Band age may help to swell rtheceeivehonourable field, but m e n n t i o o t n th inkfro the a37 judge. A n fi e l d belongs to a dangerous party, and if he reaches the post with winning orders, he will only have to fear Knuts ford to effect his overthrow. Blondin is the best of Mr, Parr's pair, but I expect he ,vill come to grief before he finishes his journey. Zapateado belongs to one of the most honourablegunrwith winning hoiiest noblemenwrunfonrgd othreierrosnm o r d ers, those whot.urfT.h investe He hasbeen highly t r i e d with Piccador , and as his lordship' s h orses a l ways will have ou t s ide chance is Blackdow n , w h o is in Drewitt's stable, an d is doing good work.

A TREAT FOR POOR CHILDREN.—The Superin tendent of the George-yard Ragged School, High-street, Whitechapel, writes to us, asking to be a'ilowed to appeal to the charitable, on behalf of the voluntary teachers of the school, tor funds to enable them to take 600 poor children attending the schools for a day's trip into the country, and thus give them what they cannot find in the alleys and courts where they live—a day's enjoyment in the fine fresh air. A curious report comes from many parte, says the Court Journal, which seems to confirm the fact that the moon was recently seen having the figure of a cross upon it I The Correspondencia and some other Madrid journzls of the 22d announce that the Queen of Spain is again in an interesting situation. The temperature was lower yesterday in Paris. M. Chevallier'a thermometer at noon marked 18 4-10ths C. (65t F.) and at two o'clock, 19 6-10ths C. (67 1.3 d F.)
