MIIMINo Iw- ONE Y MARKET AND COMMERCTAT, INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocx. The general discount market this morning appears rather firm, possibly under the influence of a fair demand for money, which has been expE , rienced this morning. The uncertainty of the future pros pects of the money market is shown by brokers Who still enforce 31-, per cent, for the best three months' bills. The Canada from America has brought £6,080. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week are generally of a satisfactory charac ter. At Manchester prices of both cloths and yarns have been well maintained. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Fludder,field has shown symptoms of increased animation ; and in th., hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Not tingham a more cheerful tone h‘s prevailed. Business in the hardware districts, viz., at Birming- L.m, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, has continuer sa isfactory. A new undertaking is the Whittington Freeholc Colliery Company, regoiring a nominal cApi , al of £135.000 in share. of £lO each. Tne amount to br first called up is i:75.000, but as nearly half of this SUM is taken by the vendor in part payment for the estate, and as 2,000 shares have been already sub scribed by the directors, only 8, 00 shares are now offered to the public. The property in question i. situated near Chesterfield, is. intersected by the Midland Railway, and comprises 170 acres of arabl land, and covers 350 acres of mineral strata, con taining six seams of coal and three beds of iron stone. The plant and machinery are also included in the purchase, and the collieries are capable u ' producing upwards of sno tons of coal per dee, , while the sale of ironstone, the workings of which has only recently been commenced, exceeds 300 tons per week, Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 68f. sc. to 68f. Very flat, Operations in the English Stock 'llarket this Morning have been limited, and as a consequence, when business is restricted and a few sales are efteted, quotations recede. The decline up to the present moment represents! per cent.,Consols being 92! for money and account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 931 ; Bank Stock, 236 238 ; India Stock, 227 229, and the 5 per Cent. Loan 108 1 ; the Debentures are 1001; the Bonds 169. prem.; and Exchequer Bills, par to 3s. prem. Business in the Foreign Market is rather active, and prices of nearly all the principal securities has declined; the most important movement is the fall in the Confederate Loan, which is now 4 to 31 dis count owing to the bad news from the seat of war. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 671 68; do. Conso lides, 501- ; M ex i can, 371 ; Spani s h P ass i ve, 321 331 ; Greek, 341 4; do.

Caledonian and South E 'stern have re ceded about 10s , and Great E stern, Brighton arid North W , stern 13s. For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been a very limited enquiry, and quotations show little change of importance.

MARK LANE. The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur day ruled inactive. Good and fine parcels, however, com manded rather more attention, at full quotations. The spring corn trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. In flour a moderate business was transacted, at late rates. Advices from New York state that good and fine wheat and flout were in moderate export demand, at rather higher prices. On the Continent the trade generally is dull. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very small, The imports from abroad amounted to 3,716 quarters of what, 5,222 barley, 27,576 oats, 2,839 beans, 1,503 peas, 292 lin-eed, 2,470 oilseeds, 20 sundry seeds, and 50 sacks of flour. A very small supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market. The demand, however, both for red and whife qualities ruled inactive, yr-t no change took place in prices compared will 111‘nday last. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. Millers operated cant ously in all descriptions, and the amount or business tran acted was very moderate at about revious quotations, Floating ca , goes of grain were in but moderate request yet prices were fairly sin:ported. The supply of English barley was very small; but the show of foreign qualities was moderate. Both grinding and distilling qualities changed hands slowly, at previous ra es. Matt was in fair average request, and the qualities ruled firm. There was a good supply of foreign oats on the stand Less activity was observed in the demand, and last Mon day's quotations were barely supported. Beans--the supply of which was but moderate—met a slow sale, on former terms. Although the supply of peas was very moderate, all descriptions sold heavily, at about stationary prices. The transactions in flour were on a very moderate scale, at last Monday's quotations, CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE, IVheat—Essex and Kent, red, 1862 Ditto, old 4Bs 54s Ditto, white, 1862 .. 43s 53s Ditto, old sos 57s Norfol, and Lincoln, red, old —s s Di to, 1102 Taiaver , Rye— Barley—Grinding M alting oos 00s Malt—Suflolk and Norfolk 6os 688 Brown Kingstown and Ware 6os Os Chevalier 668 CBs Oats -Yorkshire and Lineolnsh., Feeding l9B 2 3s Potato Youghal and Cork, black l6B 228 Cork, white l7s 23s Scotch, Feeding 2OB 2is Beans—Tick Pigeons, Peas—Grey 33s 35s Maple White 368 388 Boilers Flour—Town-made Suffolk 3OB 32s Stockton and Norfolk .. 2os 318 bury and Cosh's public sale of English wool, held on Wednesday last, went off with a moderate amount of ani mation at the full prices current in the private contract market.

Richard Hibbs, who appeared before Mr. Corrie on former occasions for creating a disturbance by c;llecting a crowd in front of the Duke of York's C lumn by preaching, and at whose request the charge was adjourned, again attended this morning to show hat he was acting within the law, and that the police had no authority to tcke him into custody. Inspector Wilson said—ln consequence of the complaints 1 Sir M. Ridley and several members of the clubs, Sir R. ',.l.iyne had directed tho police to prevent preaching n-ar to he Duke of York's Column, and because Hibbs refused to esis t he was taken into custody : Mr. Hibbs—l should like to know if there has been any pgrticular objection to me Inspector Wilson—Yes, several gentlemen of the clubs have frequently complained. Mr. Hibbs—You don't call that a complaint of the in• abitants Mr. Corrie--I don't see under what section in the police ,et you are proceeding. Mr. Hibbs—Neither do I see any section which declares ore4ching a nuisance. How do you make it a nuisance nd annoyance? Inppector Wilson—By the crowd collecting. Mr. Hibbs—Did you find the crowd and myself dis- wderly ? Inspector Wilson—No. There was no disorder, but you ware proceeding at the top of your voice, and have been told that the members of the Athenaeum Club have been ,mpelld during the hot weather to close their windows in consequence of the annoyance. Mr. Corrie—That is the club to which the learned men belong. Mr. Hibbs—Can you say the distance from the A.theLzum at which I was preaching ? Inspector Wilson—No, not exac,ly, but I should say about 60 feat. Mr. Hibbs—Well, would it be possible to select a more desirable site for the purpose of preach ng Inspector Wilson Supposing preaching was allowed there I should say you could not take up a better spot, It was nearly in the centre. Mr. Hibbs—Now, referring to the complaint of Sir M. Ridley, do you consider that the persons who were listen ing to my preaching could be called " noisy rabble and bad characters ?" Inspector Wilson—Well, I can't say that. There was a arge crowd, and you were preaching. As you refused to o away, I took you into custody. Mr. Hibbs— And that led to a breach of the peace occa ooned b) the constable. Mr. eorrie—You do not act in this matter under any particular section of the act, but from the general order you ceive, to disperse all erov•ds ? Inspector—Yes, your worship, that is so. Mr. Corrie—The better course for you to adopt, Mr, libbs, as you contend you have done no wrong, is to show ne the right you have to be there. Mr. Hibbs—There was no obstruction to begin with. Mr. Corrie—There were, according to your own state- amt . , about 200 pen.ons listening to you. Mr. Hibbs—There was enough room for two carriages to pass together between the crowd and the kerbstone. There .vas no obstruction, and I do complain of the conduct of the The Rev. G. Townshend, incumbent of St. Michael's Burleigh-street, said he knew Mr. Hibbs, and he con: -idered hie preaching was quite of a consistent nature. He ad sten Mt. Ulndstone listening to Mr. Hibbs preaching. Mr. Brook, of Newgate-street, said Mr. Hibbs was most -erupulous in his observance of the law. In addition to \i r . Gladstone, he had noticed the Baron ano Baroness Bernstorff, the Duke of Leinstt r, and , thers of the not.ilily listening to his preaching. With respect to the members of the Athenaeum 'lub, he did not wonder at their shutting down their win tows; he was only surprised they did not draw down the alinds. (Laughter.) _they sat all Sunday reading news- Jape' s, and amore irreligi , us body of people he did not know. (Laughter.) He considered that the proceedings of Mr. Hibbs had had a beneficial effect rather than otherwise, for to had fn quently seen many highly influential personages listening to him. Mr. Mathew H. Field, of 24, King's-road, Notting-hill, .poke of the orderly manner of the crowd. Inspector Wilson—There had been no less than seven Persons preaching in the space before the column that par ' icular Sunday. M. Hibbs—l cannot see, as beyond all dr übt the Bishop ~t London and Lord Wrottesley Russell have preached in he open air in Covent-garden market, that I can be c)n ildered to have committed any offence against the law. After a long discussion with the riv. gentleman, Mr. Collie said ho did not think Mr. Hibbs had a right to preach in the place he had selected, and as the police had prevented the repetition, he was not called upon to proceed further with the matter. Mr. Hibbs—l don't know but what I've a cause of action or illegal arrest Against the constable. Mr. Corrie—l've nothing to do with that. The rev. gentleman and his friends then left the court. that she was not killed on the spot. I shall send the case to a jury. The prisoner, who has frequently been charged with as saults on his wife, was then committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. A " MODEL" SoN.—Joseph M'Grath, a stout youth of 16, was charged with assaulting his mother, a very respectable looking middle-aged Irishwoman. Complainant stated that her son's hand was constantly being risen against her, and she had neither peace nor safety. On Saturday morning by s truck her, and in the evening he repeated the blow. He locked the doors, and she was obliged to get out of window to escape him. His execrations were horrible, and he was constantly do in g some mischief. Mr. Selfe —What have you there in your hand ? Complainant—Things that he has torn up—articles of dress. Mr Selfe—Did he destroy them while you were wearing them ? Complainant—No, after I was out; he also broke four keys up. Mr. Selfe (to defendant) —What do you say for yourself? Defendant--She's always calling me pickpockets and robbers, and I don't like it. Mr. Selte—Do you live with your mother ? Defendant—Yes. Mr. Selfe—Ana don't like her conduct ? Defendant—No, I don't. Mr Selfe—Then why don't you leave her ? D ,, tendant—l have no one to do anything for me. Me. Selfe—You are big enough to do something for your self. How does he get his living. Complainant—He does nothing, and says that I am bound to keep him. Mr. Selfe—What are you ? Complainant—l am a licensed hawker, and have to work for my living. My husband is in Ireland, and I have to live by my own labour. Elizabeth M'Grath, defendant's sister, was called, and said that he often struck his mother, and had recently given her a black eye. He refused to do anything towards get ting his own living, and said he would be the master of the place, and she must support him, and was bound to do so. He also threatened her by saying he would be hung for her. Defendant--My sister is telling lies—she is. Mr. Selfe—ln what respect? Defendant—She says I said I'd be hung for her—that's lies--I did not. Mr Selfe—What do you say to striking your mother ? that's the question. Defendaut—lt's wrong, and I shan't do it any more. Mr. Selfe—lt you know this is wrong, why do you do it Defendant—The night before she was after massacring me. Mr. Selfe—Why don't you leave her ? You are bound to work for your living. Your mother is not bound to keep you--that is a mistake of yours. You are an ill-conducted, lazy fellow, and I'll see whether you can't do some labour on your own account. You are committed for 14 days to hard labour. THAMES. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.—Cornelius Collins, an Irish labourer, was brought betore Mr. Woolrych, charged with being concerned with others in a murderous outrage com mitted on the 11th of June last. Thomas Wooton, a police-constable, No. 252 K, who has been suffering from the violent assault committed upon him, stated that in consequence of repeated complaints from the inhabitants, of men and boys lying about the footpath and obstructing the thoroughfare in the East India-road, he was directed to interfere and remove offenders. On the 11th of June, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he proceeded to re move persons lying on the footpaths. The obstructions on that day were so extensive that passengers on foot were compelled to walk in the roadway. Every person who was spoken to removed except the prisoner, who said "I'll be hanged for you before I move an inch." He remonstrated with the prisoner, and said, "You had better go away, my good man." If the prisoner had been his own brother he could not have been more civil to him. 'I he prisoner would not leave, and his countrymen called out, " Don't go away, kick the life out of him; kick his guts out." The prisoner then struck him a violent blow with his fist on the eye. He seized the prisoner, who kicked and struck him several times. A severe struggle ensued, and the prisoner was rescued from him. He ran after the prisoner, who struck him again and aim) kicked him. The bystanders called out, " Kill the -." ln his def-nce be had to use his truncheon, and struck the prisoner. Directly afterwards a heavy stone was thrown, and it struck him on the head, billed him to the ground, and rendered him insensible. He lost a good deal of blood, and was carried into a public-house. Re was unable to do any duty for a week afterwards. Itober M‘Master, a constable in the service of the East and West India Dock Company, confirmed the latter part of Wooton's statement, and said he assisted the disabled constable into a tavern, and it was some time before he re covered. The apprehension of the prisoner by police-constable, No. 493 K, yesterday (Sunday) afternoon was proved. Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner was concerned with ethers in a cowardly outrage on the constable, and com mitted him for trial. - Baldassarre's Re-awakened Memory. There are few passages of subtler literary gran deur in Etigiish romance, says a writer in the Spectator (who pronounces "Romola" to be "one of the greatest works of modern fiction ") than that which paints the electrifying effect of a thrill vindictive passion on Bdidassarre's paralysed memory, in recalling once more his full command of Greek learning, and the sense of power which thus returned to him :-- "He leaned to take up the fragments of the dagger; then he turned towards the book which lay open at his aide. It was a fine large manuscript, an odd volume of Pausanias. The moonlight was upon it, and he could see the large letters at the head of the page : MEMINIKA. KB. - In old days he had known Pausanias familiarly ; yet an hour or two ago he had been looking hopelessly at that page, and it had 4uggested no more meaning to him than if the letters had been black weather• marks on a wall; but at this moment they were once more the magic signs that conjure up a world. That moonbeam falling on the letters had raised Messenia before him, and its struggle against the Spat tan oppression. He snatched up the b ,ok, bul the light was too pale for him to read fur ther by. No matter: he knew that chapter; he read in wardly. He saw the stoning of the traitor Aristocrates— stoned by a whole people, who cast him out from their bor diets to lie unburied, and' set up a pillar with some verses upon it, telling how Time had brought home justice to the unjust. The words atose within him, and stirred innu merable vibrations of memory. He forgot that he was old ; he could almost have shouted. The light was come again, mother of knowledge and joy I In that exultation his limbs recovered their strength: he started up wi h his broken dagger and book, and went out under the broad moonlight. It was a nipping fro,ty air, but Baldassare could feel no chill—he only felt the glow of conscious power. He walked about and paused on all the open spots of that high ground, and .00ked down n the domed and towered city, sleeping darkly under its sleeping guardians, the mountains; on the pale gleam of the river; on the valley vanishing toward,. the peaks of snow; and felt himself master of them all. That sense of mental empire which belongs to us all in mo meets of exceptional clearness, was intensified for him by the long days and night in which memory had been little more than the consciousness of something gone. That city which had been a weary labyrinth, was material that he could subdue to nis purposes now : his mind glanced through its affairs with flashing conjecture ; he was onc e more a man who knew cities, whose sense of vision was in structed with large experience, and who felt the keen de light of holding all things in the grasp of language. Names I Images I—his mind rushes through its wealth without pausing, like one who enters on a great inheritance." Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The passage of the Warrior, iron frigate, out of Portsmouth harbour on the 9th instant to join the Channel fleet, then lying at Spithead, afforded a conclusive prof of the present efficient depth of water in the harbour's channel of entrance. The frigate, drawing over 27 feat of water, crossed the " bar " in the harbour channel on that day half an hour before high water, the tides being the dead of the neaps, and flowing that afternoon to 536 p.m. This is a fact of the most important character, when considered jointly with the question of the intended extension to Ports mouth dockyard, and the erection thereof new docks for the accommodation of our irun fleets. METROPULITAN CATTLE. Our market to-day was well supplied with foreign stock but its general qualify was by no means prime. The de mand was heavy, and the quotations were with difficul y supportel. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up were seasonably extensive, and most breeds came to hand in good saleable condition. The arrivals from Ireland and Scotland were very moderate. Although the attendance of buyers was numerous, the beef trade was in a sluggish state. Compared with Monday last, however, of no the ch best angetookplace in the quotations. The ext reme va l ue Scots and crosses was ss. per Blbs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 2,600 shorthorns, &c.; fron other parts of England, 800 various kinds; from Scotland, 80 Scots and crosses; and, from Ireland, 50 oxen and heifers. Although the supply of sheep was again extensive tht mutton trade ruled steady, at full price-, A few very bupe rior Downs realieed 5s 2d, but the general top figure tut mutton was 5s per Sibs. We have to report a steady sale for lambs, the show of which was good, at full currencies —viz., from 5s 4d to Oz. 4d per 81bs.

KICKING A WIFE DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS—COM ➢rITTAL FOR TRlAL.—Thomas Behan, a tall powertul-built man, residing at 25, Whitcombe-street, St. Martin's, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting his wife, Anne, by kicking her down a flight of stairs. The complainant, a very stout female, who seemed to suffer a great deal, and gave her evidence sitting, said—On Saturday morning my husband came home about 4 o'clock, towing been drinking. lie was let in by my daughter, 11 years of age, and then began calling her all nvinner of bad nom a, and pulled me by my hair. My child ,aid, "Father, or my sake don't kill my mother, and when the shops are ,pen I will get you something to eat." He had been look • tog in the room for something to eat, but he has given me no money for my support, neither has he paid the rent for 12 years. He then went to bed, having been drinking. I 40t up early and went about my work, being a laundress On coning back from Brompton I heard that he had got up ‘nd gone out, and he returned about. 7in the evening nearly ,irunk, bringing some victuals with him. My child came to speak to me, and he tatted out to her " why do you speak to that —." He afterwards sat down, and as he toad a knife and fork in his hand, and I was afraid ne would hurt the child, I sent her downstairs, I then went on to the third step of the stairs, intending to descend 'hem, when my husband followed me, and put his foot on he skirt or my dress, and on my turning round he lifted up scot and deliberately kicked .me down the stairs-14 in number—and I fell to the bottom, and he never attcnipttd to pick me up. I could nut speak a word and could not ,hove. Two doctors were sent for, and I was afterwards 'atcen to the Charing-Cross Hospital in a cab. The doctor ‘aid I had no bones broken, but I believe something in my head is broken—it was very bad. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did he kick you on purpose ? Complainant—Oh yes. He gnashed his teeth, and said when he kicked me "Take that." All my injuries are cn my head. Mr. Tyrwhitt—ls it the first time you have had to com plain of him. Complainant—Oh no. Prisoner—Did I kick you off the stairs. Complainant—Yes, and you said you would tear my liver out too. Ellen Lowe, a married woman living in the same house, said—l heard a noise and the prisoner say " Take that." I heard Mrs. Behan scream, and afterwards found her lying at the bottom of the stairs. The stairs are very steep, nar row, and dangerous. Her head was on the floor and her legs up three stairs. I then sent for a constable, nor being able to raise Mrs. Behan myself. 1 saw some black bruises on the back of Mrs. Behan's neck, and her arm is swollen. Michael Brosnan, 185 C, said—l found the complainant lying on the flour, and she could not speak fcr some time, and when she did she said prisoner had kicked her dowli stairs. The prisoner, who was sitting in his room, said his wife had fallen down. Mr. Tyrkhat—lte was not doing anything to assist her? Brosnan—No, sir, he had been drinking. In answer to tho charge, prisoner said he had . quarrelled with his wile, and that ehe fell down the stairs. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l believe you did kick her down. It is a moat brutal thing altogether and very fortunate for you SHIPPING— This Day. LoNnorr, July 20.—Wind this day at noon—South- Westerly; moderate breeze, and fine weather, but rather cloudy.

A new colt, of regulations to be adopted in all future trials of rifled ordnance h .ts been received at !he Ordnance Department, Chatham, from the War Department, and, under the orders of the Secretary of State for War, is to be strictly adhered to. The regulations hitherto in force are abolished, and in future all rifled guns are to be proved by firing two rounds with the service charge of powder and cylinder, equal in weight to two service shots; and and three rounds with a service shot, and a charge of one-sixth the weight of the service projectile, as at present, for those guns the service charge for which is one-eighth, and in the same proportion for guns having a larger charge. The following alteration in the system of proof of brass ordnance, which has been recently approved in India, has been ordered to be adopted in this country :—The piece to be proved when .08 inch below the true calibre, and afterwards finished. This alteration has been adopted in consequence of its having been observed that the effect of the proof charge upon braes ordnance, when fired with the usual windage, is in almost all cases to leave serious indentations near the seat of the shot. Indentations so caused will, by this system, be removed in finishing the gun. The 22d company of Royal Engineers, which has been placed unaer orders to proceed to China, being considerably below its proper strength, a number of Sappers and Miners have been selected from the depot companies at Chatham to augment the com pany prior to its embarkation on the 23d inst. Tne new church of St. George, erected at Alder shott, opposite the Centre-road Permanent Bar racks, will be consecrated on Thursday, the 20th inst., by the Bishop of Winchester. The Secretary of State for War and other high personages have expressed their intention of being present on the occasion. A public luncheon will be provided in the riding-school of the 13th Hussars. To-day commences a gala with the troops sta tioned at Aldershott. The annual divisional athletic sports and foot races, under the patronage of Lieut.- Gen. Sir J. L. Pennefather, X.C.8., commanding, will take place on the Royal Pavilion Cricket ground. The sports are open to both officers and men, and nearly 500 competitors have entered their names to contend for the various prizes. On Tuesday the great annual military rifle match will commence at Cae3ar's Camp, and .be continued on the two follow ing days. On Friday the divisional races will take place on the ground between the North and South Camps. Among the eight events to be decided are th e Aldershott Town Plate, the Farnborough Cup, the Canteen Occupants' Cup, and the South-Western Railway Plate. A commodious grand stand has been erected, a portion of which is fitted with crim son cloth, in anticipation of the presence of some distinguished visitors. At night a grand ball will be given in the clubhouse by the officers of the divi sion, who are already making every arrangement for the purpose. The St. Lawrence and Newcastle East Indiamen have arrived at Spittiead from the Thames to em bark troops for Calcutta, under the supervision of Capt. Loch, embarkation officer to the Hon. Council for India. The St. Lawrence will embark today a detachment of the 2d battalion 20th Foot, a second detachment of the same regiment embarking in the Cot flict East Indiaman on the 24th, and the head quarters of the regiment in the Blenheim on the 25th. Tne Newcastle embarks a detachment of the sth Ip.ncers (dismounted), and the head quarters will also embark from Portsmouth in the Herefordshire East Indiaman on the 23d inst. The 22d C ,mpany of Royai Engineers will embark on board the Louisa, hired transport, on the 23d or 24th inst. at Portsmouth, for conveyance to China. THE RIDICULOUS WILL OF AN ECCENTRIC ACTOR.—As quoted by Mr. Tom Taylor in the Victoria Magazine.—l, Thomas Weston, comedian, hat ing all form and ceremony, shall use none in my will, but proceed immediately to the explaining my intentions. Im primis : As from ell. Foote I derived all my consequence in life, and as it is the bast thing I am in possession of, I would, in gratitude at my decease, leave it to the said Mr. Foote ; but I know he neither stands in need of it as an author, actor, nor as a man; the public have fully proved it in the two first, and his good nature and humanity have secured it to him in the last. Item : I owe some obliga tions to Mr. Garrick; I therefore bequeath him all the money I die possessed of, as there is nothing on earth he is so very fond of. Item : Though I owe no obliga tions to Mr. Harris, yet his having shown a sincere re gard for the performers of his theatre (by assisting them in their necessities, and yet taking no advantage thereof, by driving a Jew bargain at their signing fresh articles), demands from me, as an actor, some acknow ledgment ; I theretore leave him the entire possession of that satisfaction which must naturally result on reflecting that, during his management, he has never done anything base or mean to sully his character as an honest man, or a gentleman. Item-1 having played under the management of Mr. Jefferson, at Richmond, and received from him every politeness; I therefore leave him all my stock of prudence, it being the only good quality I think he stands in need of. Item—l give to Mr. Reddish a grain of honesty ; 'tie indeed a small legacy, but being a rarity to him, I think he will not refuse to accept it. Item—l leave Mr. Yates all my spina. Item I leave Mrs. Yates my humility. Item —UE on reflection I think it wrong to give separate legacies to a man and his wife ; therefore I revoke the above bequests, and leave to be enjoyed by them jointly, peace, harmony, and good nature.

Among the larger en t r i es are five ex. Chancellors of England receiving £5,000 a year each, two ex-Chancellors of Ireland with £3,692, four retired English judges with £3,500, two Irish with £2,400, and five County Court judges dividing £4,600 b e t ween them. But these are pensions earned by personal service ; perhaps not so much can be said of some others. Th e E arl of Ellenboi ()ugh has a compensa tion annuity 01 £7,700 as chief clerk of the Court of Queen's Bench ; the Rev. T. Thurlow, £4,026 as clerk of the hamper, in addition to £7,352 as patentee of bankrupts. Viscount • Avonmore receives £4,199 as late registrar of the Irish Court of Chancery ; the Earl of Roden -g2,698 as late audi tor-general of the Irish Exchequer. But these pensions will come to an end ; even that cannot be said of some others. There is above £23,000 a year paid in perpetual Pensions, payable as long at least as there shall be an Earl Amherst or Nelson, a Lord Rodney, a Viscount Exmouth, an heir of William Penn, or of the Duke of Schomberg, an d so forth. Of the limited number of first-class pensions of £2,000 a year to statesmen who have been in high office, and who claim the pensiona, only two are now payable— Disraeli ; Sir Cit. Grey's is viz., to Lord Glenelg and Mr . aga i n in office. Several pensio ns cease d suspended, he being in the course of the year -- a mong them that t o th e f am il y of George Canning and that to the doorkeeper of the Irish House of Lords but the housekeeper still lives to receive her annual compensation for loss of emoluments by the Union. /, SPORTING NOTES. The Liverpool Meeting was a decided success, although the fields on the first day were the smallest ever remem bered, and the competitors were of such an indifferent stamp that their performances need but few words of comment, The twenty horses weighted for the Sefton Handicap only produced two runners—Cerintha and Don't Come Late, and as the former was weighted only 81b heavier than Mr. Hodgman's filly, Lord Stamford had it all his own way. This match was succeeded by a walk over on the part of Barchettina for the Sefton Stakes, as the King of Utopia declined to contend for it. The Selling Stakes on the straight half mile was keenly contested by Confidence and Virginia, the latter of whom, had she come a litt sooner, would have won, as Lord Westmoreland's horse only beat her by a short head. The Bentinck Testimonial could not help falling to Johnny Armstrong, when only opposed by such wretches as Mis fortune and Flower Safety. On the Cup day, the course presented a very animated appearance, and whatever short comings the racing was subject to, there was certainly little perceptible falling off in the company assembled. True Heart in the opening race, the Welter Cup, effected the overthrow of The C u tl er . w h o i n fli cte d a severe cut on his ' backers, as they laid 2 to 1 on him, and Practitioner P rac d t i s s f e e d a t a ft by e r p t t e r s a same as s n f a s w h a i s on an in ath th e e r e Me tr r a se o y rd S in tak ary es t , u w rn ho u si after his re cen t b r i lliant achievement at Worcester.

Stamford, attractedanot a accident n clever le I ver have victory; no tory; doubt but i he f as e m ost aristocratic attendance, but the meeting w s erved by being brought forward a week, as, independe n t of Liverpool and Abingdon using up several of the horses t engaged, it clashed directly with Hungerford and Ponte fract, which divided the Ring, and, of course, lessened the attendance. The meetings for this week are Notting.. ham, Winchester, Southampton, Knutsford, Cambridge, and Aldershott, and as all, except Knutsford, are within a morning's ride of the metropolis they w ill afford a good opportunity for an "outing " in this delight ful weather, when the heat of town has become almost ua. bearable. NottieghAra takes place on Tuesday and Wed nesday, and Mr. Bradfield has seldom brought cut a better bill of fare, as there are 18 r aces on the list for the two days, nearly all of which have filled in a manner that shows how popular the meeting on " merrie Sherwood" has become. Of the nine items set for decision on the first day six are closed, the principal of which is the Nottinghamshire Handicap. It secured a fair acceptance, all things con sidered, as 23 horses remain in, with a likelihood. of some ten reaching the starting post, to be selected from Prince Plausible, Doefoot, Dulcibella, Flir tation, Pilot, Bandage, Brighton, Liston, Blithfield, Airedale, Joco, Luna, Jack's Alive, and Middlewatch. Brighton has been backed within the last few days, but I doubt his ability to beat either Flirtation or Blithfield over the distance, and from what I saw of the latter at Liverpool last week it ought to be a very near thing between him and Flirtation, Garotter ought to win the Robin Hood Stakes; Bertha or Tippler the Bradgate Handicap ; Light or The Clown the Buney Park Stakes, and Garotter the Rufford Abbey Stakes. The Hampshire Stakes, run at Winchester, will be won by either Gardener or Earl of Surrey, and the Grange Park Stakes by Hengist. Knutsford appears to be on the sick list for the Goodwood Stakes, but I expect he will recover his position again as the horse is well. A FRESH MAN. CITY BETTING—SATURDAY.

BRADDON AND THE YORKSHIRE PUB LISHER.__At the Hull Bankruptcy Court, yester day, a bookseller and publisher, named Charles Robinson Empson, formerly of Beverley, and now of Hull, applied The bankrupts debts for i l i a discharp efrom custody. amount to £276 18s. 7td. ; and in the course of his exami nation it transpired that, in the year 1860, he engaged Miss M. E. Braddon, the popular authoress of "Lad Audley's Secret" and " Aurora Floyd," to write a novel for him, to be entitled " Three Times Dead, or the Secret of the Heath." Miss Braddon was at this time an a ctress at the Queen's Th ea t re, H ull, and played under the name of Miss Seyton. She wrote the introductions to the pantomimes, and several odes which were delivered on public occasions. This brought her into notice, and while she was staying at Beverley Parks she published occasional poems, which induced Mr. Empson, the bank rupt, to enter into an agreement with her to write him a novel. " Three Times Dead" was Miss Braddon's first " great literary effort," and although it was highly sensa. tional, and above £2OO was expended in getting it out, the work proved a failure, and to this cause Mr. Empson partly attributed his bankruptcy. Since 1860 Miss Braddon has been in London, and what success her literary efforts have achieved is matter of public notoriety.—Mr. Judge Baines said it Miss Braddon had made £B,OOO out of her works she could surely afford to assist the man who bad published her first work, and who had become bankrupt partly through doing so.—Mr. Empson said he had not the slightest ex pectations from Miss Braddon. The cause of the failure of " Three Times Dead" was that London publishers invari ably attempted to crush works published in the provinces. —There being no opposition to the bankrupt, he was allowed to pass his examination, and an order of discharge was granted. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY.—On the 16th May last the premises known as the Gael. : near Newport, Monmouthshire, were burglariously entered, and the will of the then recently deceased owner, Mr. Thomas Powell, an eminent colliery proprietor in South Wales,several shares in local works, and other documents, were stolen. A reward of £lOO was offered for the recovery of the will, but without effect, till last week, when a my s t er i ous l y worded commu nication was received from an anonymous correspondent, stating that if a lady of the Powell family would attend at a certain gate on the Gaer property, and there hold a con ference with the writer, the missing will and other docu• ments shoulu be restored intact, on payment of the promised reward. An interview accordingly took place between a supposed lady and the anonymous correspondent ; but £125 were demanded as the price for the restoration of the will, and that sum being refused the conference terminated. A second arrangement was made by letter for a meeting en Monday night, but this also went off unsatisfactorily. A th;rd arrangement was made for Wednesday night, but in this the services of the police were engaged, and it resulted in the capture of a young man, named Edward Gill, aged 18, son of a picture-frame maker of Newport, after a des perate struggle with Sergeant Hale, of the county consta bulary. On searching the ground where the encounter took place on Thursday morning the whole cf the missing pro perty which had been so mysteriously stolen from the Gaer was discovered. Gill was taken before the magistrates on Thursday, when some preliminary evidence was adduced, sad the prisoner was retuauded till this day. w
