]IUE EY MARKET AND comm./maul INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is only a moderate demand for discount, and the rates for the best bills of three months are p2r cent ; the terms for other descriptions being in a proportionately reduced scale. The sup• plies of money are more than sufficient for the re quirements of trade, and the absorption for other purposes is not large enough to create activity in discount circles.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before Lord Chief Barn Pollock, and Barons Channel! end RE DOMINGO CAP. DE VIELLE. The Inland Revenue, in this case, claimed probate and legacy duty upon the property of the deceased, which was refused by the representatives of M. de Vielle, on the ground that he was a French subject, and that he had never given up his domicile in France. The question, therefore, for the Court to decide was whether the deceased had given up his domicile in that country, and had become domiciled in England, whereby his property would become subject to the payment of the duty. The deceased was born in Montroi, in the Ban Pyrenees. In 1808 he went to Spain and entered a mercantile house at Cadiz. At the breaking out of the Revolution he amongst other Frenchmen were taken prisoner, and put on board a hulk at Cadiz, which was after driven by a gale to the other side of the harbour, Port St. Mary, where a part of the French army was stationed, and, of course, the French subjects were liberated. The deceased then returned to France, but afterwards on the return of the Bourbons he gave up his employment there and entered an English house of business at Gibraltar. After some years residence there he came to England and established himself in business at Manchester as agent to a firm abroad. Since 1820 the testator had resided entirety in this country, with the exception of two visits to France, one in 1846 and the other in 1853, on which occasion he purchased some pro perty in Montroi. After his return from Paris on the last occasion he entirely took up his residence in this country, where he remained until his death. Mr. Bovill, for the representatives, contended that the deceased never intended to give up his French domicile, and that he was whilst living essentially a French subject, possessing, as he did, the right to vote for members of the Corps Legislatif. M. de Vielle had never abandoned his French domicile, and his property was not liable to the legacy and en cession duty. The Attorney-General, on the part of the Crown, argued that the whole of the actions of the deceased showed that he had given up his French nationality, and that all his subsequent acts showed that his intention was to make England his domicile. The arguments were not concluded when we went to press, COURT OF PROBATE, (Before the Judge Ordinary.) MACDONALD T. MACDONALD. This was an application on the part of the children of Capt. Macdonald, who was killed in India on the breaking out of the mutiny at Meerut, on the 10th of May, 1857. The wife by a will was made sole executrix, but she died about the same time; but whether she escaped and after wards shared the fate of ter unfoi tunate husband could not be discovered, The principal question raised was whether in fact the husband was killed before the wife. The court taking into consideration the circumstances of the case, and being guided by the decision of his pre decessor, decided in favour of granting letters of adminis tration to the applicant as next of kin to the dceased. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Murray.) IN RP, RANDA.LL. This bankrupt was a grocer at Norwich, and this was a meeting for choice of asaigness. Mr. Bugg, of Norwich, appearad for creditors, and nom pla!ned that the property had been taken possession of under an order of this court and sold by Messrs. Cuttan and Davis at a great loss. Mr. Lawrence felt assured that the order for sale had been obtained by some kind of misrepresentation, or the court would not have made the order had the facts been truly stated ; but all that could be done at present was to rescind the order and put the property under the control of the assignees. Ho strongly reprobated the system which bad sprung up, since the passing of the last act of selling the property immediately at any sacrifice. Mr. Bugg spoke to the same effect. In this case Messrs. Cuttan and Davis went down immediately after and pro ceeded to sell off, and some portion had been sold to a man in the bankrupt's employ at 18s. a •week, and he no doubt bought it with money from the bankrupt's business, who thus bought his own goods. He considered it a very gross case, for there was not a pretence or excuse for such precipitancy. The Registrar said it was a rule in this court not to grant an order for sale, except upon evidence of there being an absolute necessity—as that the articles were of a perishable nature. Mr. Bugg said there was not the slightest necessity in this case, for the property on the whole was not perishable. A creditor said that he had sold £GO worth of stock to the bankrupt, which would have kept six months and longer. He considered the sale a fraud on the creditors, whoever got the benefit. Mr Cameron, the official assignee, said that he was not fully aware of the facts on the grounds on which the order was issued, as he was ill at the time. He asked what was supposed to be the loss. Mr Bugg said he could not say, but he would have the inventory sent down and every item priced; but the loss was not all, it was the gross injustice done under the colour of the order of the Court. Mr. Lawrence, who was interested in a similar case, said the short way would be to bring an action in troves against Messrs. Outten and Davis, and leave them to plead the order of the Court. Mr. Bugg said he entirely exonerated the official assignee from any participation in what was a gross fraud. Mr. Cameron said he had employed Davis and Cuttan in the usual way, as he did not know who else to employ. The choice of assignees took place, and Mr. Bugg carried the choice. FEMALE SCHOOL OF ART—(This Day). • The distribution of medals and prizes to the students of the Female School of Art, 43, Queen's-square, took place this afternoon at Burlington House, Piccadilly. Lord Houghton occupied the chair. The noble CuArumA's, in opening the proceedings, con gratulated the fair students on their having obtained such signal success at the competitive examination, where they were fairly pitted against the sterner sex. In their pro. greys of art study, the Female School had obtained the greatest possible number of medals and awards during the year, and in that respect stood in the proudest position of any Government school in the country. This fact was the more pleasing as the annual Government grant had been withdrawn at a very critical time when it was most needed. Fortunately for them the Queen and Princess of Wales had come to their rescue, and doubtless the Royal patronage would ultimately become of more advantage than the annual Government grant, which, as a portion of the original School of Design, Somerset House, they were as fully entitled to as the School at South Kensington. His Lordship d welt on their success in their designing of lace, and the number of students who had passed into regular practi tioners of art, swelling the ranks of the Society of Female Artists, and occasionally finding a place on the line at the annual exhibition of the itoyal Academy. The distribution of honours then took place, at the con clusion of which the interesting proceedings terminated. Raiiwayv. St St St 50 20 and Str. Val. !Blythe and Tyne. itost.,Sleaf.,andMitWo !

The President will have killed off Grant as a rival candidate, and I think h.) will remove Grant to make room for Fremont—" the bespat tered Reformer Fremont "—as the head of the nation has stigmatised him. Fremont will not make soup for Lee and his men; and he too will be ruined as a Presidential candi date, as has been Banks and Grant. PROFANE PRAYER OF THE YANKEES.

MANHATTAN'S NEW VIEW OF JAMES GORDON BENNETT, (recently so highly eulogized in " Marion," and in the dedication to it.) That monster liar press, the .11'etv York Herald, is a disgrace to this country. it sets an example that is fol lowed by other daily papers who fear to be out-gcneralled. The Herald to-day has its full complement of lies from Europe, and re-asser:s what every child in America now knows to be false. The headings of its first columa—" Pre parations for a vigorous attack on the enemy by Grant,' " General G ant reinforced," "A rebel demonstra tion on the Union trains defeated"—indicate no despair of Lee. An enemy used up don't attack Union trains; and if Lee was defeated we don't need any preparations for a Vir ginian attack. Bennett prides himself upon sticking to a man he has once backed. He will do it in this case, although he knows Grant has failed ; and he will try to bring 11PClellan upon the carpet again before a week is over, to replace Grant or to supersede him, on the plea that Al`Wellan is the only general who can save Washington and Baltimore from capture by Lee, who is sure to under take it, as soon as he is reinforced by Beauregard.

Second to .None ; a Military Romance. By James Grant, author of " The Romance of War," &c. 3 vols. Routledge, Warne, and Routledge. " Second to None!" such is the proud motto of the regiment in which Basil Gauntlett, the hero of Mr. Grant's new chapter of the romance of war, casts his fortunes, and with which his history be comes identified. Here is a sketch of his first glimpse of his regiment :.,.... SECOND TO NONE. In those days—this was in the year before we fought at Minden—the Greys wore double-breasted scarlet coats, lined with blue, having slit sleeves; long slashed pockets were in each skirt ; and a white worsted afruiletto dangled from the right shoulder. "We wore long jack-boots, and tail grenadier caps, with the Scottish Thistle and circle of St. Andrew in front. Our cloaks were scarlet lined with blue shalloon, and in front they had rows of large fiat buttons sat two and two, on white frogs, or loops of braid. On our collars we wore a grenade in memory that at its formation, a portion of the regiment had been armed with that formidable weapon, the same as the Scots Horse Grenadier Guards. Everywhere the proud motto of the corps met my eye; on the standards and kettledrums, on our caps, carbines and pistol-barrels, and on the blades of oar long straight broadswords, I read the words-- SECOND TO NONE That short sentence seemed lull of haughty spirit ; it gave me a new life, and fired my heart with lofty inspirations I repeated it, dreamed ani pondered over it, and as our departure for the seat of war was daily looked for, I longed for active service, and for the peril and adventure ever con sequent thereto. Basil Gauntlett is the disinherited heir to a baronetcy. His father by his marriage having offended the imperious Sir Basil the grandfather of our hero, dies and leaves his orphan son to the cold charity of the world. Ono kind friend inter cedes with the old baronet, and urges him to re member that he has been young himself. "Yes," growled the gruff baronet, " but it is so very long ago that I have forgotten all a b out i t !" So Basil, friendless and peunilees, meets with two jovial dragoons of the Scots Greys, and en li sts as a private in their regiment. In following the fortunes of the soldier, whether in the battle-field or the bivouac, iv the warlike onslaught or the peaceful carouse, Mr. James Grant is always felicitous; he is, par excellence, the historian of the romance of war. The principal portion of Basil Gauntlett's adven tures takes place in France. One incident we are inclined to quarrel with, a strategem which not even the example of A chilles can render heroic, namely, the disguise of the young soldier as a soubrette, or lady's maid. The sprightly Angetique, the attendant of the fair Jacqueline de Broglie, can find no other means of saving the young soldier than by introducing him as another attendant in the house of her mistress— the lady-love of Basil. The scene is ludi crous ly unheroic. Imagine the fair lady listening to a loving, compliment from her soldier lover —i n th e dress of a femme de-chambre ! The conclusion of this episode threatens to be most tragical, and the fearful retribution in the hut in the forest is " sen sational" in the extreme. Here, taken almost at hazard, is a specimen of Mr. Grant's spirited style THE POST 07 DINGIER. " Ride fast I" said the captain, brit-fiy. Charters shortened his reins, gave his grey the spurs, and departed at once. A s he proceeded towards Querque villa Point, the French cannoniers redoubled their efforts to bring him down. lie frequently waved his sword as it' in defiance, and escaped as it by a miracle. Then on his de scendiEg to the beach, where some rocks protected him, the battery turned its round shot and grape on the advancing boat. Suddenly there rose from the sea and pierced the sky, the mingled yell of many voices. A 24-pound shct had dashed the bust to pieces, and 12 seamen and a little mid shipman were seen struggling and sinking amid the debris of oars, thwarts and planks, while the French sent dose after dose of grape to kill the drowning men. The middy struggled bravely—being light, the waves bore him towards the rocks, but Charters saw that unless succoured, the poor lad would certainly perish amid the surf that boiled over the ridge. He sheathed his sword, shook his gloved hand fiercely at the battery, and urging his horse into the sea, even while the hissing grape sowed it thick with tiny waterspouts around him, succeeded in grasping the sinking lad by the collar, and turning the head of his gallant grey toward the shore, he bravely battled with the surf, the long waves of which, reddened by the sunshine, seemed to boil in fiery foam upon the beach, and rolled over his shoulders, so that at times the nostrils of his charger were on►y visible, yet he succeeded in landing the half-drowned midshipman, and rode twice afterwards into the sea to succour the sea:nen, but succeeded in saving only one. This was done in the presence of the whole left wing of the army, which gave him three tremendous cheers, and a few minutes afterwards the grenadiers of Richmond's corps with the light troop of the Greys made a dash at the fort, which immediately surrendered. With such scenes and incidents the narrative is, as may be imagined, singularly animated. Of' the love stories we shall only say that the hero has no less than three lady loves, the gentle little Ruth, the fascinating Jacqueline, and the amiable Aurora, but which of the three wins the first place in his affections we shall not reveal. Suffice it to say that ultimately the heroine like the hero becomes— " Second to Noce." Raised to the W vo o l o s l . Newby. By . vrby. L a ngton Lockhart. It is satisfactory to the readers of the history of Mr. Henry Gilmore, b arrister-at-law, to know at the very outset of his career, that he ultimately obtains the legitimate object of every barrister's ambition— a seat on the woolsack ! As the baton of a marshal of France is said to be contained in every French soldier's knapsack, so the great seal of England is supposed to be hioden away in every English barris ter's brief bag. This novel idea of revealing on the title page the ultimate destiny of his hero is the only noticeable feature of Mr. Langton Lockhart's ro mance. As a story it possesses no particular attrac tions, and its heroes and heroines are in no way interesting or remarkable.

EAST AND WEST JUNCTION RAILWAY, AND BLOCK LEY AND BANBURY RAILWAY BILLS, Lord CHELMSFORD moved the re-committal of these bills, on the ground of the exclusion of certain evidence and undue curtailment of the right of counsel to cross-examine witnesses before the select committee,to which the bills were referred. Lord STRADBROKE, chairman of the committee in question, entered into a detailed explanation of the circum stances relative to the two bills, and defended the course the committee had pursued. Not taking evidence and not per mitting to cross-examine by counsel, formed no part of the case of those who were now complaining of the conduct of the committee. (LEFT SPEAKING.)

PERU. Mr. WEGUELIN asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Government had received despatches relative to the seizure of the Chin cha Islands, belonging to Peru, by a Spanish naval squad ron; whether it was the opinion of her Majesty's Government that the occupation in time of peace of the territory of a friendly nation, without cause or declara tion of war, and the forcible detention of individuals of that nation to serve as hostages, was consistent with the usages of civilised nations, or the dicta of international law; whe ther her Majesty's Government were prepared to admit the claim put forth by the Spanish Admiral and the Spanish Commissary of the right on the part of the Spanish Crown to revindicate the property of said islands, a right they assert similar to that which Great Britain sanc tioned when she restored the island of Fernando Po, Azmolon, and Coserco, after a formal and uninterrupted possession during a considerable number of years : and, whether her Majesty's Government will interpose their good offices to bring about a settlement of the trifling matter of dispute which has led to these high-handed proceedings on the part of the Spanish officials ? Mr. LAYARD said that he was sorry to say he could not give satiataotory information on this matter. On Saturday last her Majesty's Government received dispatches from the British representative at Peru, from which it ap peared that the seizure alluded to was in consequence of certain claims not having been acceded to. THE STEAM RAMS. Mr. HODGKINSON asked the Secretary of the Admi • ralty, whether it was intended that the price to be paid for the Confederate rams shall be the subject of a supplemental vote, or whether it will be paid ont ut money already voted for some other purpose ? Lord C. PAGET said it would be his duty to bring on a supplemental estimate in reference to this subject. MR. HERBERT'S PICTURE. Mr COX asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he could make any arrangements by which the public may have the opportunity of viewing Mr Herbert's picture in the peers' robing room. Mr COWPER, answered in the affirmative. 'CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA. Mr BAXTER asked the hon member ior Sunderland if he intended to bring on his motion with reference to the Confederate States of America on Friday ? Mr LINDSAY said that he would postpone his motion to the 17 , h of next mtnth for political considerations. OUR RELATIONS WITH BRAZIL. Mr. NE WDEGATE asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if it was not the duty of the English Consuls who remained in Brazil since the suspension of dip lomatic relations to report to Earl Russell everything which concerned the English Government or English interests; and had her Majesty's Government not received from the Consul at Rio or otherwise information of a speech made in the Brazilian Senate, on Feb. 24, by M. Sinimbre, lately Minister of Justice, defending the conduct of the Under Secretary who wrote to ask the judges to vote a;pti , st Mr Reeves, producing all the correspondence with the Britisb Legation, and describing Mr • Christie's notes complain;ng of the Under S-3cretary's conduct, by order and with ap proval of Earl Russell, as "most tmpertinent." Mr. LAYARD said that the consuls had sent their reports, but he thought it would not be advisable to answer the question of the hon. member. MR. LYNALL THOMAS'S GUN. Mr. GREGORY asked the Under Secretary of State for War whether the trials of Mr. Lynall Thomas's gun had been concluded, and whether, on the conclusion, a report of the trials would be laid before the house. The Marquis of HARTINGTON said that the trials of these guns were for the present suspended in consequence of the bankruptcy of Mr. Thomas. POLAND. Mr. HENNESSY wished to know, if certain despatches relative to Poland which had passed between Count Wale ski and Count Persigny, would be laid on the table of the house, and whether they were authentic. Lord PALMERSTON said that, as he understood the question, it appeared despatches were sent to the Prussian ambassador, but whether these were authentic or not he could not state. Mr. HENNESSY said he considered the answer most unsatisfactory, and would move that extracts of these despatches should be laid on the table of the house. CHINA. Mr. COBD EN moved the following resolution :—" That in the opinion of this house, the policy of non-intervention by force of arms in the internal political affairs of foreign countries, which we profess to observe in our relations with the States of Europe and America, should bo observed in our intercourse with China." He skid that all parties in China, including the natives and Sir Frederick Biuce, oar representative, were dissatisfied with the policy this country had pursued towards that important empire. He contended that the policy of this country was detective in every element, and so far from being conducive to the interests of our commerce had a tendency and result directly the reverse, and he quoted statistics to show that the tra :e with China was less extensive than that with Egypt, not withstanding the immense population and facilities afforded by the former country for the purchase of our articles of production. The tact was that China was the only country where we endeavoured to force our trade by violence, and the result was that in that direction our trade failed instead of being in a flourishing condition. What was the reason of that result P It merely arose from a mistaken notion that, in order to extend trade with the Chinese, we should force on them our political connections. He condemned ministerial statements as being calculated to mislead, and accused Lord Palmerston as being a master of the language necessary to carry out that object, and the Under secretary for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Lewd), as being one of his most apt pupils. (Laughter.) His observations applied to both parties of the house when in the Ministry. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He contrasted the policy suggested by the late Duke of Wellington in reference to Chioa, which was one of kindness and forbearance, to that adopted recently by this country, which was the very opposite. The hon. member went at con siderable length into arguments in support of his views, and was listened to with great attention by a house crowded on both sides. He stated in conclusion that his object was to obtain a promise from Government that there should be a committee appointed to inquire into the nature of our relations with China and Japan. Mr. LAYARD replied, and was [LEFT SPEAKING.] LONDON GAZETTE.—This Evening, FOREIGN-OFFICE, MAY 30 The following correspondence has passed between Earl Russell, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Aff,irs, and Monsieur de Bille t Envoy Extraordi• nary and Minister of his Danish Majesty at this Court : • Legation of Denmark, May 23, 1864. My Lord,—l am directed to inform her Britannic Ma jesty's Government that the blockade of the ports of Cam min, Swinemunde, Wolgast, Greif, walde, Stralsund, Barth, Dantzig, and Pillau, in the Baltic, as well as the blockade of the ports and inlets in the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, which were raised on the 12th of this month, in conformity with the stipulations of the suspension of hos tilities, will immediately be re-established on the 12th of June next, the date on which the suspension of hostilities terminates, unless the negotiations carried on at the Con ference of London should before then have led to at least some preliminary agreement. My Government has thought it due to the interests of the commercial world that timely notice of the re-establish ment of the blockade should be given ; and I am also directed to state that no neutral ship, which after the re newal of the war might attempt to enter any one of the blockaded Fors would be subject to capture, except where previous notice of the re-establishment of the blockade had been received in the ordinary way, or through the ships of the blockading squadron itself.—l have, &c., (Signed) TORBEN BILLS, The Right Hon, Earl Russell, &c.
