HONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The business transactions in the general discount market show that the demand is well maintained, land the rates continue firm. The failure has been announced of Messrs. John Wilson, jun. and Co., Russian merchants, of Old Broad -street, with liabilities estimated at below £40,000. Their suspension has been produced by the stoppage of Messrs. Dye and Co., of St. Peters. 'burg, for whom they were agents in this country. At the second ordinary general meeting of the Westminster Brewery Company, held to-day, the directors proposed that a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum, free of income -tat, be paid out of the avail able balance of £3,950. About £77,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. _ _ The North American, from New York, has ar rived with £ll,BOO. The prospectus has appeared of the Adelaide (North Arm) Port and Railway Extension and Land Company, South Australia, witt a capital of £400,000, the first issue of which will comprise 10,000 shares of £2O each. It is proposed to con struct about 2,000 feet of wharf frontage, where ves sels of the largest tonnage may lay alongside, and to erect wharves, warehouses, and other conveniences, affording ample accommodation to the shipping re sorting to the port ; also to lay down two miles of railway to complete the line already laid down by the Government, from the city of Adelaide to the North Arm, and a short line of four and a half miles to the Dry Creek Station on the Great North and Murray River Railway, wt.ich will effect a saving of twelve miles of carriage between the grew producing districts and the port of the colony. Interest is to be paid at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on the subscribed capital until the works are so far completed as to enable the directors to com mence business. The object of the company may be regarded as national, if the dangerous, narrow, and tortuous channel leading to the present port of Adelaide be compared to the Intended harbour, which possesses deep water and safe anchorage. The question of constructing a new quay appears to have been long under the consideration of the Legislative Council of the colony, and an appendix is furnished with the prospectus proving the desi rability of the project. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : Great Western 1863. 1862. 560,183 £64,231 Nor th - est ern South- Western Brighton Midland 36,308 39,962 South-Eastern 22,243 23,306 Great Northern Lancashire and Yorkshire 34,170 31,964 North Eastern 39,250 41,105 Bristol and Exeter Manchester, Sheffield. and Lincoln 13,708 14,296 Great Western of Canada These returns are generally of an unsatisfactory character. On the Great Western there is a de• crease of £4,048, on the South Western of £382, on the Brighton of £9,968, on the Midland of £3,654, on the South Eastern of £1,063, on the North Eastern of £1,855, and on the Manchester, Shef field, and Lincoln of £587. The North Western, however, shows an increase of £1,265, the Great Northern of £229, the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £2,206 and the Great Western of Canada of £1,322. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 69f. 55c., 69f. 45c. Animate. The general situation of business in the market for the English Funds presents no change of im portance, and the tendency of quotations is still rather unsatisfactory. Speculation is very much curtailed, but the few operations daily reported show that the operators are more inclined to pro ceed for a fall than an advance in prices. Consols have been 94 for money, and 92 k for the July account, but they are now k per cent. better —viz., 91; 92, and 924.- / respectively.

Beatrice Byng, Lord Methuen, Lieutenant General Hon. C. Grey, Alhjor-General Hon. A. Hood, Lieutenant-Colonel Hon. D. de Roe, and Mr. Buff, left Windsor Castle at a quarter past two o'clock for London, to be present at the ceremony of the uncovering of the memorial in the Hortieultural gardens at South Kensington. Their royal highnesses proceeded first to Marl borough House to join the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince Alfred, and Prince Arthur. The royal family drove from thence to South Kensington. The Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, attended by Lieutenant-Colonel Keppel, rode om horseback yesterday morning. The Princess of Wales took a carriage drive. The Princesses Helena and Louise and Prince Leopold arrived at Marlborough House at twenty minutes past three o'clock yesterday afternoon from Windsor Castle. Their royal highnesses were at tended by Lady Augusta Bruce, the Hon. Beatrice Byng, Lord Methuen, Lieutenant-General Hon. C. Grey, Major-General the Hon. A. N. Hood, Lieu tenant-Colonel the Hon. de Ros, and Mr. Buff. Prince Arthur, attended by Major Elphinstone, afterwaras arrived at Marlborough House.

The Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Oxford. Oxford is all astir with preparations for the re ception of the Prince and Princess of Wales on the 16th inst. The University authorities, ,the under graduates, the town council, and the inhabitants generally are all making the necessary arrange ments, and there is every prospect that the ancient and loyal city will present a scene of gaiety and exuberance unparalleled since the installation of the Duke of Wellington, and scarcely inferior to the visit, forty-nine years ago, of the Prince Regent, the Emperor Alexander, the King of Prussia, and other celebrities. State etiquette, as well as the traditions of the university, prevented the bestow ment of any academical distinction upon his Royal highness while he was in residence, but the univer sity authorities have taken the earliest opportunity of inviting him to pay a visit to his Alma Mater, and receive from their hands the highest honour it is in their power to bestow. The proceedings in the Sheldonian Theatre, where his Royal Highness will receive the honorary degree of D.C.L., are, therefore, being looked forward to with unusual in terest. The Earl of Derby, the Chancellor of the University, and a numerous and distinguished com pany, are expected to be present. On the following day (Wednesday), the Enccenia, or a commemora tion of Founders and Benefactors, will take place in the Theatre, when his Royal Highness, accom panied by the Princess of Wales, will take his place amongst the doctors, and degrees will be conferred upon several distinguished prsonages, including the Duke of Newcastle, the Right Hon. Edward Cardwell, M.P., Sir Hugh Urns, M.P., Sir Saf ford Northcote, M.P., Mr. Seymour Fi•zgerald, &c. A grand collation, given by the University, will take place in the library of All Souls' College, and their Royal Highnesses are then expected to pro ceed to the Freemasons' fete in Worcester College gardens. The Prince and Princess will subsequently witness some University aquatics on the river Isis, being conveyed from Folly Bridge to the University barge in a new and handsome boat now in course of construction by Messrs. Salter, the well-known boat-builders of Oxford and Wandsworth. Later in the evening the royal party will be entertained by the Vice-Chancellor at a grand banquet in Exeter `college, and will honour with their presence a grand ball given by the undergraduates of Christ Church, of which college the Prince of Wales is a member. A very distinguished circle will be in vited to meet their Royal Highnesses at Exeter College, including the Duke of Cambridge, the Early of Derby, Mr. Gladstone, the Duke of Buc cleuch, and the newly-made doctors. The city is already fast filling with visitors, and the demand for lodgings is greater than has been known for many years. The Countess of Derby has issued cards for a select evening party to have the honour to meet their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales after dinner on the 24th inst., on which day their Royal High nesses have accepted an invitation to dine with the Earl and Countess of Derby. The Prince of Orange honoured the Countess (Dow.) of Jersey with his presence at dinner on Tuesday, at her ladyship's residence in Berkeley-square. A distin guished circle met his royal highness. The Prince of Manganelli and Chevalier Rai mondo Pettini and suite have arrived at the Brunswick, Jermyn-street, from Italy. The Emperor Napoleon's "Life of Csesar is at last in the printer's hands, the Presse assures us. It will fill three volumes. The first is ready, the second is in pro gress, and both will be published together, The third will appear afterwards. CHATTERTON'S PAUPER GRAVE.—More to the left, on the site now taken up by that dingy, half lighted market of Farringdon, provided as an asylum for the sweet smells and pleasant sights of Fleet Market, until 1825 was the pauper burial-ground of St. Andrew's, Hol born. None of our readers can be ignorant of the terribly truthful picture of a City graveyard drawn by Dickens in " Bleak House." The spot in question might be described in the same words. It had nothing to assi milate it to our modern fancy cemeteries; a few fee, of uneven earth, which no careful spade had ever been at the pains to level; no gravestones, not even a sin gle unpointed stake, to indicate the coffin below ; but here a brick, covered with gro,n mould, and thmre a cluster of nettles or rank weeds; and, commonly close under the wall, a deep, open pit, yawning until its full tale of dead was completed. A few handfuls of rubbish cover it from notice. A sad tragedy was enacted in this neigh bourhood ; and a suicide's grave, dug amidst the moulder ing remains of sin, pain, and want, was to confer a dismal notoriety on this spot which none of its former occupants had given it. The parish register records----" Aug. 28, 1770. —William (Thomas) Chatterton [with 'the poet' added afterwards], interred in the graveyard of Shoo Lane Work house." These few words are pregnant with awful inte rest, and include with bitter brevity the whole biography of a gifted but hapless son of genius, who crowded into an exi> tence of 18 years more of intellectual promise than ever fell to the lot of one individual in so brief a period.—Lon don Scenes and London People. VISIT OF THE DUKE OF SASE-COBURG TO VIENNA. —The Ausburg Gazette says :—" Duke Ernest of Saxe-Coburg will shortly pay a visit to the court of Vienna, and this journey is generally regarded as sym ptomatic of a sudden change in the political ideas which that court has appeared to share hitherto. It is known that its marked inclination towards Prussia, the military convention which it has concluded with that state, and the decided attitude which it has assumed on many internal questions, have gradually alienated the court of Vienna and the coalitation of Wurtsburg. The visit which the duke paid to Dresden in the month of February was the first step taken with a view to a union. It is with a feeling of satisfaction that the duke is now expected at Vienna, where the importance of his personal influence is justly ap preciated."

His Honour granted a further adjournment for six weeks. 1N RE FRENCH. Mr. Lawrance applied in the case of this bankrupt, a boatowner, at Chatham, for the leave of the Court to ap point are accountant. Mr. Registrar Winslow had certified it to be a case in which tha assistance of an accountant was desirable. Mr. C.

His Honour asked why Mr. Registrar Winslow had not made an order ? Mr. Lawrence said the appointment must be sanctioned by the Court. His Honour—Have you agreed as to the accountant ? Mr. Lawranee—Oh, yes, Mr. Jos Hart, of Moorgate street. His Honour—Let it be so. IN RE 'VIVIAN. In this case his Honour said that there was a deficiency in the accounts of £l,OOO. The bankrupt had said that he had sworn to it without reading it—accountants made figures, but not facts, and to them it was not material, as they did not have to swear to them—the only course in this case was to adjourn the case sine die, with leave for the bankrupt to c: nee up when he had amended his accounts to the satisfaction of the Court, and protection would be granted for two months. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) Albert Herschman, 26, a merchant, was indicted, that he having been duly adjudged a bankrupt did within thrte months of the filing of the petition, unlawfully obtain on credit goods to the amount of £lOO, and fraudulently dis posing of his estate with intent to defraud his creditors. The prisoner carried on business in Moorgate-street as a general merchant, and was in the habit of trading with various mercantile houses in the City, and transmitting the goods for disposal to Hamburg. He evidently went to that country himself, reporting that he was proceeding to Scot. land. The petitioning creditors and assigness are Messrs. Moses, Son, and Davis, to whom he was largely indebted, the prosecution being instituted by the other creditors in conjunction with them. The case is devoid of public interest, and will occupy the entire day. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) James Johnson, 22, a turner, and Henry Grimshaw, 23, labourer, remanded from last session, were indicted with breaking into and entering the dwelling-house of William Ring, and stealing three beds, value £2O, and further for stealing 13 yards of carpet, The prisoners were also charged with Benjamin Everett, who was convicted on Tuesday of receiving a quantity of boots and shoes, knowing the pro pert), to have been stolen. It was ore of the numerous cases arising out of the dis closures made by a man named Yates, a notorious receiver of stolen goods, and who was convicted at this court and is now undergoing his sentence ; but, with a view of obtain ing a remission of the sentence, he had given up the names of the principals in various robberies. The evidence against the prisoners rested entirely on the approver and accom plice Yates, and as the evidence was not corroborated, The Recorder directed an acquttal. Benjamin Everett was then indicted for stealing 100 pair boots and shoes, 900 yards of elastic web, and 300 " uppers," but no evidence was offered. Mr. Montague ChamLers, Q.C., then addressed the Cour in reference to the case, in which the prisoner Everett was convicted, and said from inquiries that had been made since, he was in a position to prove that the portion of the evi dence given at the trial of the approver Yates was untrue. It was most remarkable that he had fixed the 18th of December as the day on which he had the transaction re lating to the robbery of Mr. Lyons, whereas at the very time he was himself a prisoner in Horsemonger-lane Gaol, showing a clear alibi had he been in a position at the trial to prove the fact. Had he known so no doubt the jury would have come to a different conclusion, He felt it his duty to bring the matter before the court, and pressed to call in Keene, the Governor of the prison. Mr. Keene was then called and proved that Yates was in his custody on the 18th December. The Recorder said he would look carefully through the depositions before passing sentence, and to-morrow morn ing he would also have evidence as to character. Another indictment in the same series was then pro ceeded into against Benjamin Close, James Dean, William Winning, Caroline Close, and Caroline Dean, who were charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel from the dwelling-house of Robert Cox, Benjamin Close pleaded guilty, the rest of the prisoners not guilty. _ _ _ The evidence did not sustain the charge in this case, and ;be four prisoners were acquitted. Benjamin Close was then put forward for sentence. The poiice produced a number of housebreaking implements found in his roam, and alto a number of previous con viction s. The Recorder sentencedhim to six years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CASE.---A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH DISORDERLY CONDUCT.—ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT BY A POLICE-CONSTABLE —Mr. Charles Danvers, gentleman, of 12, Park-lane, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and riotous in Piece: illy. APlntosh, 158 C, deposed to seeing the defendant in Piccadilly with al rostitute, pulling her about in an indecent manner, making her scream at the top of her voice, and using indecent language. As the defendant would not leave when requested he took him into custody. The defendant was drunk. Defendant—l deny using any other language than should be used by a gPntleman. Cannot a gentleman stand and speak to a female in the streets without being dragged to the station ? I had had a little to drink, I admit, but was not drunk. I have a gentleman in court who will speak to my character • Instead of my using bad language, I charge the constable with doing so, and treating me very ill. • Mr. Knox—The inspector who took the charge shall be sent for to state the condition you were in when taken to the station. Sergeant Collings (who took the charge) said defendant was drunk—obstinately drunk. Defendant—l am in a position to prove that I was not drunk. I had been to my solicitor's, in Lincoln's-inn, and was engaged there till late in the evening on business. I wish emphatically to state that I never made use of the bad language imputed to me, and emphatically to deny that I was drunk. Mr. Knox—Sent for the gentleman, then. Defendant—As he is a solicitor, most probably he will bo away from his office. I grant I was a little excited, for if anything like brute force was ever used, it was used to wards me. The constable not only used insulting language towards me, but he ill-treated me, and I feel hurt. I think a gentleman should be treated like a gentleman, Mr. Knox—l have the positive evidence of the police that you were drunk—the sergeant sa y s obstinately drunk. I, therefore, infer that you did no t well know what you were about. If you do not intend to send for the gentleman I shall decide the case by fi n ing you 108., or seven d ays, an d if perjury you can do so. y T o h u e l d i k e e f e t n o dant indict p s t ihde theco n s t fl a n b e l for stil l denying the charge against him. DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUlClDE,—Yesterday evening a man about 40 years of age, named John Limebeer, by trade a shoemaker, and residingat No. 10, Carnaby-street, Golden-square, made a most de termi ned attempt to take his life by cutting his throat. It app e ars that Limebeer, being had some words withw o under unhd sho newhis fe, influencethrseizedo at osfprdra.rzimni razor, 0a , and and having inflicted o vi a most frightful y i hn ge r street, Regent street, was immediately sent for, and attended to Limebeer; but, deeming the wound of a most serious nature, recom mended that the man should be taken to an hospital, rod Sergeants Kay and Ste2hens lost no time in conveying him in a cab to the Middlesex Hospital, where he received every attention at the hands of the medical officers of that insti tution. On inquiring at the hospital this morning, Sergeant Kay was informed that Limebeer was in a very low state, and that there were but the smallest hopes of his surviving. MARYLEBONE. EXTRAORDINARY AND SHOCKING MURDER OF A CHILD, AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF THE MURDERESS —Mary Anne Payne, aged 21, residing at No. 6, Allsopp • place, Marylebone, was charged before Mr, Mansfield with the murder of her child, Charles Albert Payne, aged two years and three months, She was also further charged, on her own confession, with attempting to commit suicide, first by taking poison, and afterwards by throwing herself out of a second-floor window. Prisoner was allowed to be seated during the inquiry. Maria Spence said-1 am a married woman, and live in the same house as prisoner. About 8 last night I heard a crash, and on going out I saw the prisoner lying in the yard. I screamed for her husband, who went for a doctor. I knew she had a child between two and three years old living with her. Between 5 and 6 o'clock the child was in my yard, playing with my children, when the mother came and took it up to tea, and I saw no more of it. . Mary Anne Payne, sister-in-law to prisoner, said—Abou t a quarter after eight I went with my brother into the bed room for blanket, and oar going to the bed thought the child was asleep. I took it into my arms, when its head fell back and blood came from its throat. I don't remem ber anything more. (Witness burst out crying, and pri soner sat composedly looking at her.) Mr. Sedgwick, surgeon, of 12, Park-place, deposed—l was called.to 6, Allsopp-place. I saw prisoner on a sofa in the front parlour in a complete state of collapse, resulting from her fall from the window. I examined her to sae what injury she had received, and found marks on her elbows and legs. She remained insensible for seven or eight minutes after my arrival, and I had her chest and body rubbed over, and I told her sister to go and get some blankets to cover her with, as she was in her night-dress, and directly after I heard a piercing scream. I attended on prisoner till the return of consciousness, when she spoke very incoherently, and could give no further account of her injuries except that she had slipt off the door step. As soon as she was sufficiently recovered to be left I went upstairs to the second floor back room, and found the b delothes thrown down to the foot of the bed, and the body of the child lying on the near side of the bed with its throat completely cut across and down the spine, and in the middle of the bed a quantity of clotted blood. The child had evidently been moved from its position. I directed a constable to be sent for, and on his arrival we searched the room, and found a large table-knife with blood on it, and which had apparently been wiped with something. Afterwards a piece of paper was found with blood on it. We then went to the open window and found blood marks, and a small flower-pot was knocked over. There was also some blood in the back yard. After this I again attended the woman, and after succeed ing in restoring warmth I went home, and returned with a reviving draught. She was afterwards sufficiently recovered to inform me of the circumstances of the case. I was in formed that she had taken a large quantity of laudanum. The absence of symptoms of poisoning in her was accounted for because she had been excessively sick in her bed room, where she had vomited the contents of her stomach, consisting of a hearty dinner, into a wash hand basin, and which evidently contained laudanum. She said to me, to use her own words, " I have been for some time low-spirited, and was very low-spirited during nearly the whole time I was in the family-way with my first child. I can't account for my being in low spirits. I went out after dinner with my child, and went into Mr, Williams, che mist, Upper Baker-street, and bought 2d. worth of lau danum for the toothache; I then called in at Mr. Greenish, chemist, New-street, Dorset. square, and bought another 2d. worth, After that I went to Ms. Hows, chemist, in the same street, and he only let me have a ld. worth. I then bought some grocery, and went home and undressed and went to bed." She had no recollection of throwing ht rself out of the window. I asked her if she was in the family way, and she said she was three or four months gone. She had also attempted to cut her own throat with the knife, as there was a slight mark up . on it. Albert Hammett, 270 D, gave evidence which went to corroborate the medical gentleman. He produced the knife, and a piece of paper with blood upon it. Great force must have been used with the knife, as it was very blunt. Prisoner, who sat unconcerned all the time in the dock, declined to put any questions to witness, and was remanded until the depositions might be taken. THAMES. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A TRADESMAN.—Tobias Green, an undertaker and funeral furnisher, who has been established in business for many years at No. 32, St. James-terrace, Shadwell, was brought before Mr. Wool rych charged with knowingly uttering a counterfeit half crown. Mary Ann Setcomb, barwoman at the Silver Trumpet ale and wine house, Commercial-road East, said the prisoner came there yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon and asked for a glass of fourpenny ale, for which he tendered iu payment a counterfeit half-crown. She took it up, dis covered it was not silver, and exclaimed—" What, another bad one." Mr. Woolrych—What, has he passed base coin at the house before ? Witness—Yes, sir ; twice. He passed one twelve months ago, and again at the beginning of April in the present year. When I told him this piece was bad, he said, " Well, girl, throw it in, the fire as I told you before.'' I said it was very strange, indeed, and my master gave him into custody. Mr. John Hall, the landlord of the Silver Trumpet, said that when the prisoner uttered a counterfeit half•crown for the second time in April, he said to him, " Now, mind, if you do this again, I will give you into custody." In spite of this warning the prisoner repeated the experiment yes terday, and he gave him into custody. He had known the prisoner many years as a tradesman in the adjoining parish, Shad well. Mr. Gomm, from the office of Mr. John Hodgson, solici tor, said the prisoner had always borne an unimpeachable character as an upright and respectable tradesman up to the present time, and he would call witnesses. Mr. Woolrych—l will not hear them in the present stage of the investigation. The case must undergo a rigid inquiry, and a report of it made to the solicitor who con ducts the mint prosecutions. I shall remand the prisoner until Tuesday next. _ _ Mr. Gomm.— Will you take bail, sir ? Mr. Woolrych.—Yes, two securities in £7O each, and the prisoner in £l4O. The prisoner, who was crying, and appeared much agi tated, was then removed in the custody of the gaoler. TEA LEGS.—John Thompson, a labourer, aged 23 years, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with stealing 2i lbs. of tea, value 4s. 61 3 the property of the London Dock Company. William Edward Spencer, a constable in the employment of the London Dock Company, said that the prisoner was about to pass out of the dock yesterday afternoon, at the principal gateway, and observing that he looked bulky about the legs, he stopped him, and found upon him 24 lbs, of green tea. The tea was in his stockings, and caused his legs to look very thick. The prisoner said he had been at work on the west quay, where teas bad been landed. Mr. Woolrych—Have you discovered that any ckest has been broken open ? Witness—l have not, sir. There are thousands of chests of tea piled one above another in the dock. We are very busy just now. The prisoner has been here before. He had a tube in his possession to abstract wine from the casks, and was drunk. He was then sentenced to pay a fine of 95., or be imprisoned six days. Mr. C. T. Braithwaite, a foreman, said the prisoner had been employed in the dock about three months. He set him at work yesterday. Mr. Woolrych sentenced the prisoner to eight days' im prisonment and hard labour for the unlawful possession of the tea. STATE OP TRADE. DUNDEE, June 9.—There was considerable buoyancy in the market to-day. Old flax was much inquired for, and a considerable quantity changed hands, nearly all the sales reported being at previous prices. Fine and medium tow and codilla were more asked for, and several sales have been made at a small rise in price. Hemp remains dull, and prices as before. The finer qualities of jute are in good demand, but it is difficult to get an a::vance corresponding to the rise in England ; common qualities are quiet and not dearer. Yarns of all descriptions were in ective request tc-day, and a good trade was done in them. Flax and tow qualities brought rather more money than at Friday's market, and the tendency is still upward. Jute qualities were firm, and prices against buyers for several sizes. The American letters to band to day advise considerable sales of hessians and other linens, but the prices are complained of, as they leave a very small margin to the shipper. The advices received from other foreign markets are generally favourable. The demand for tha home trade keeps well up, and a large business has been done in linens to-day. The makers in town are all full of orders, and in Arbroath, Forfar, and the other towns in the district all continue busily employed. LEICESTER, June 10.—There is a slight improve ment in the demand for some classes of hosiery goods, and business generally is assuming a more healthy character. At Loughborough and Hinck ley business remains dull, and the workpeople are suffering. Yarns hold high'in price, and spinners produce with caution so as to keep within the supply. In wools there is no important change, and the demand is tolerable. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, June 9.-30,333 tons of coals, and 3,547 tons of coke, 24,425 cs f. of iron, and 5,382 cwt. of alkali were exported from the Tyne last week. There was an increase in the shipment of coke of 16 tons ; iron, 6,502 cwt. ; and a decrease in the shipment of coals of 4,213 tons, and alkali, 280 cwt. The demand for tonnage for the Mediterranean and the Baltic keeps ex ceedingly good, and the re are not many arrivals coastwise ; but the wind having got r ound to the South a considerable number of light vessels due may be expected. Coal freights to London are ss. 6d. By advices from Constantinople under June 1, we learn that there has been a large arrival of li g ht vessels from t he Mediterranean ports, and a great portion of them seeking charters. During tha t week a few v essels bad been taken for Azoff, b ut nothing above 535, has been paid, except for one small ship 555. ; but it was telegraphed ft ora Taganrog, on the 31st May, that only 525. 6d. is the outside payable there. From Sulina and.Kustctid"3ee Gs. 4d. to 6s. 3d. were the rates ; la y da y s for the ps wanted. I s t to 1 3 th Ju ne. No read y shi HALE A SOVEREIGN,—Hie Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,—Fun. Uncovering of the Memorial of the Exhi bition of 1851. The ceremony of uncovering the memorial of the Great Exhibition of 1851 was performed yesterday afternoon in the gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society, in the presence of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Royal Family. The guests invited to take part in the ceremony com menced assembling shortly after one beneath the western dome of the International Exhibition building, S3uth Ken sington. Between two and three the scene presented was one of great beauty and magnificence. Among those present were the Duke of Buccleucb, Lord Overstone, Lord Eversley, Mr. Cardwell, Sir J. Pakington, Sir M. Peto, Lord Llannver, Col. Sykes, Lord Taunton, the Hon. B. Disraeli, Mr. Baring, Mr. Lowe, Earl Stanhope, Sir S, 7,\.Torthclte, Professor Owen, Sheriffs Jones and Lawrence, Hon. W.

The attendance of the company was brilliant in the ex treme, and the greatest interest was manifested by every one present. To enliven the long " wait" the ccuncil engaged several of the most celebrated bands, and notwithstanding they dis coursed most eloquent music, the hour of the royal party's arrival was anxiously looked for. A few •minutes before four o'clock her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge arrived, and a few minutes after, p ro _ ei.ely at four o'clock, their Royal Highnesses en tered the building amidst the cheers of the assembled company, the united bands playing severally the National Anthems of England and Denmark. The Executive Committee of the Memorial Committee were then pre sented to their Royal Highnes es. His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch introduced the principal members of the Hor ticultural Society, and then a flourish of trumpets was the signal for the procession to move. It consisted of the fol lowing bodies, who took their places in the order named, and four abreast.' Trumpeters: Mr. George Eyles, the Superintendent of the Horticul- tural Gardens. The Sculptor, Mr. Joseph Durham. Memorial Committee. Mayors, Provosts, and Chief Magistrates of those Cities and Towns which in 1851 formed Local Committees.

Her Royal Highness the Princess Mary of Cambridge. And the ladies and gentlemen in attendance on the Royal Family. The Grenadier Guards' band headed the procession on its starting from the western dome, and played until the royal party ascended the gallery stairs in the Exhibition, when the royal party entered the balcony which had been erected facing the memorial, and overlooking the whole of the splendid gardens. When all had taken their places, Mr. Godwin presented his Royal Highness with an address suitable to the occa sion, and General Knollys handed the Prince the follow ing reply, which his Royal Highness read with great dis tinctness : I have listened with an interest which I am sure will be shared by all present to the details you have given in con nexion with the memorial to my lamented and revered father, and which we are assembled this day to inaugurate. As a son, I cannot but be deeply affected by that part of your ad dress in which you have referred to the beloved parent whose aid and counsel were never wanting where work was to be done or where difficulties were to be overcome. lam confident that our proceedings in commemorating so proud a year in England's annals would have met with his ap•• proval, and I am sustained in the part which, in obedience t 9 the Queen's commands, I have undertaken by a convic tion and grateful sense that the sympathies of the entire nation accompany me. I have now pleasure in directing that this memorial—of which the artist may well be proud —be uncovered. The canvass was removed amidst a salute from the Royal Artillery, which had been placed at the service of the society by the Duke of Cambridge. The procession then descended from the balcony and entered the garden through the centre arch, turning to the left. Tho united Guards' bands played during the passing of the procession the " Prince of. Wales' March," ceasing when the Royal party mounted the steps leading out of the ante-garden. The procession next proceeded to the western side of the garden, where their Highnesses paused for a short time to look at the memorial and garden, and having gone through the whole of the gardens returned to their carriages, and Left the building amidst the same enthusiasm that greeted their arrival, The memorial stands on the stone basement erected to receive it by the Horticultural Society, at the head of the lake, and facing the conservatory. The monument is 42 feet high. and 18 feet across the base at the angles. MARKETS—This Day. MARK LANE.

INNKEEPERS' LIABILITY (No, I) BILL. Mr. W. MARTIN moved that the Speaker do leave the chair. Sir F. GOLDSMID desired to intimate that he should offer no further opposition to the measure. The promoters had placed various amendments on the paper, which would completely alter and at the same time materially improve the provisions of the bill. Mr. PACKE also withdrew his opposition to the measure. The house then went into committee. Clause 1 was withdrawn, and the following amendment, by Mt. HUNT, substituted :--"" After the passing of this act no innkeeper shall be liable to snake good to any guest of such innkeeper any loss of or injury to goods or property brought to his inn, not being a horse or ether live animal, or any gear appertaining thereto, or any carriage, to a greater amount than the sum of thirty pounds, except ire the following cases .—That is to say--1. Where such goods or property shall have been stolen, lost, or injured through the wilful default or neglect of such innkeeper, or any servant in his employ ; and, 2. where such goods or property shall have been deposited expressly for safe custody with such innkeeper, or his servant authorised 14 him for that pur poses. Provided always, that in the case of such deposit it shall be lawful for such innkeeper, if he think fit, to re quire, as a condition of his liability, that such goods or pro perty shall be deposited in a box or other receptacle, and that the person depositing the same shall affix his seal to the fastening thereof." Mr. ROEBUCK proposed a clause to the effect that £3O be the limit of compensation, and that the onus of proving the value thereof rest with the owner. Mr. LOCKE said it would be incumbent upon the owner, if he went to law, to prove the value of the property. Mr. HEYGAIE supported the clause, and mentioned a case of great injustice which had occurred to an innkeeper in Leicestershire , After a short discussion, the proviso of the hon. and learned member for Sheffield was withdrawn. Mr. W. MARTIN proposed the adoption of the follow ing clauses :--" If any innkeeper shall refuse to receive for safe custody, as before mentioned, any goods or property of his guest, or if any such guest shall, through any default of such innkeeper, be unable to deposit such goods or property as aforesaid, he shall not be en. titled to the benefit of this Act, in respect of such. goods or property. Every innkeeper shall cause to be printed in plain type the first section of this act, and shall cause at least one copy thereof to be exhibited in a conspicu ous part of the hall or entrance to his inn, and he shall be entitled to the benefit of this act in respect of such goods or property only as shall be brought to his inn while such copy shall be exhibited ; and he shall also append to such copy a notice in writing, signed by himself, containing the name of the servant (if any) authorised by him to receive goods and property for safe custody." Sir F. GOLDSMID proposed an amendment in the pre amble to the effect that " it is expedient to amend the law concerning the liability of innkeepers in respect of the goods of their guests in manner hereinafter." Mr. W. MARTIN assented. The bill then passed through committee, and the chair man ordered to report the fact to the house. The house resumed. SAVINGS BANKS ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. Sir H, WILLOUGHBY moved that the house go into committee on this bill. Ho said the bill would consolidate eight savings banks acts, and had no reference whatever to the investment of savings banks moneys or the Post-offices banks, and was in exact accord ance with the suggestions of the committee of 1858. The consolidation of these acts would be a great convenience to all the persons connected with those institutions. Moreover, the bill had received the fiat of Mr. Tidd Pratt, the registrar of friendly societies. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER assented to the committee on the bill, which reflected great credit upon the hon. baronet and the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets (Mr. Ayrton), and those with whom they had acted, on account of the faithful way in which they had acted in the business. The Government intended to pro pose some amendments, which would be submitted to the house in the report. The house then went into committee, and in the course of a long discussion various omissions and amendments were agreed to. Clauses 63, 64, 65, and 66 wore omitted. Mr. HIBBERT moved an amendment to clause 37, but after a short discussion the hon. member withdrew it. The house resumed. ELECTION PETITIONS BILL. Mr. HUNT moved the second reading. The bill pro posed that no election petition should be withdrawn with out the reasons being disclosed to a standing committee of that house, to be called the " Election Petitions With drawal Committee." It would prevent the practice of pre senting sham petitions to that house, whether for the pur pose of annoying or for extorting money. It was well known that after a general election as soon as a peti tion of a frivolous nature was presented against a Liberal member, one followed against a Conservativ e, on the ground, he supposed, of restoring the balance. (Hear, and laughter.) Great expense and annoyance were the result. When it was found that petitions were frivolous and vexatious, the recognizances entered into would be estreated and paid into the Exchequer. In cases of compromise the petitioners would be doubtless well able to afford to pay the penalty that lie proposed to exact. Mr. COX warmly supported the bill. In 1857 he was made the victim of a sham petition charging him with every crime that could possibly vitiate his election. (Laughter.) Within 24 hours of the period the members of the commit tee would have been struck, he received a confidential offer from the agent, who subsequently made the acquaintance of the Bankruptcy Court, that the petition would be with drawn it a sum of £5OO were paid. Knowing that he had not been guilty of any offence, he indignantly refused to accede to the application, but nevertheless the petition was withdrawn. (Hear, hear.) Mr. COLLINS supported the preamble, though he ob jected to the clauses. (Laughter.) If election committees were more strict, and followed up the law, the evil of sham petitions would be greatly mitigated. They would ihid it very difficult to compel people to proceed with petitions, so with ordinary prosecutions, against their will. Mr. BOUVERIE supported the bill. Mr. AYRTON doubted whether they would not do more harm than good in discouraging the presentation of petitions against the validity of the return of members. If, unlike ordinary prosecutions, which involved no costs, they cast heavy responsibilities on petitioners against the return of members, the house would perpetrate a great injustice. If the bill was read a second time it would require much amendment in committee. The house should not encou rage fanciful proceedings of this nature. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL joined in the praises that had been bestowed on the general principle of the bill. The evil to be guarded against was unduly interfering with. the right of the subject to petition that house. Were the bill to be passed in its present state it would actually inter fere with the right of petition. The Election Petitions Act of 1848 provided that sureties should be entered into by one, two, three, or four persons to the extent of £l,OOO in one or several sums, to prosecute petitions, and it provided that in the event of the withdrawal of petitions against re turns the cost of sitting members and all other parties should be defrayed by the petitioners. The right hon. gentleman pointed out several clauses of this bill that appeared to him to require amendment at a future age, such as freeing peti tioners who might be proved to have acted bona fide from costs. He should support the second reading. Sergeant PIGOTT supported the bill, considering that it would not commit any injustice, but, on the contrary, would initiate a wholesome system of fair dealing% Sir W. MILES referred to the nefariou s and recent Tx of Lisburn in order to show the importance of election mittees.
