NONEY MARKET AND COMMEIWIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Owing to the preparations now in progr'ess f or the bills arriving at maturity on Thursday next, the 4th inst., business in the general discount mar ket is rather active. The inquiries have increased, and this circumstance has induced bankers and others to ask full terms for the securities offered for discount, and 4 per cent. is now the minimum in the open market as well as at the Bank of England. About £lO,OOO in gold was taken out of the Bank on Saturday. The arrivals of specie announced to-day com prise £116,560 by the Sussex, and £135,088 by the Essex, from Australia ; £1,498, by the Oneida, from the Brazils ; and £40,500, by the Teutonia, from New York ; making a total of /293,646, The hqlf-yearly report which has been issued preparatory to the meeting of the African Steam ship Company, recommends the payment of a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum. From the manufacturing districts the account for the past week state that, in consequence of the intervention of the Whitsuntide holidays, there has been a very limited business transacted in moat departments, and prices generally have remained without any material variation. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 691 The meeting of the Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Packet Company took place to-day, and a resolution again adjourning it to the 13th proximo was passed, i❑ order to allow time to the directors to communi cate the terms of the new contract with the Govern ment. The adjourned meeting of the shareholders of the Anglo-Portuguese Bank was held to-day, and the necessary resolution carried confirming the minutes of the preceding meeting authorising the increase of the present share capital of £1,000,000 to £1,260,000, by the creation of £2,600 new shares of £lOO each. Very little alteration has taken place to-day in the market for the English Funds, Consols being 932 g for money, and 92k 1, less the dividend for the account.

Smith, farmer and dealer, of Charlton, have been poisoned by the administration of arsenic. The police of the R divi sion at Woolwich have received such information as will doubtless lead to the apprehension of the offender. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 1, 1861 MARKETS—This Day. MARK LANE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, which changed hands slowly at about previous quotations. All kinds of spring corn, in cluding flour, were inactive, but not cheaper. Throughout the Continent wheat has been slow in sale, at late currencies. Barley and other articles have com manded rather more attention. In America, very little change has taken place in the value of produce. The arrivals of English produce up to our market of last week were moderate. From abroad they comprised 7,286 qrs of wheat, 5,143 barley, 41,433 oats, 1,754 beans 1,685 peas, 95 sacks and 240 sacks of flour. A very moderate supply of home-grown wheat was re ceived fresh up to this morning's market in fair condition. Both for red and white qualities there was a steady, but by no means active demand, and last Monday's q uo t a ti ons were in most instances fully maintained. At the close of business a fair clearance had been effected. The supply of granaried samples of foreign whest was moderately large. Sales progressed somewhat slowly in most descriptions ; nevertheless, prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand at late currencies. The supply of English barley was small, of foreign quali ties very moderate; on the whole, the demand ruled steady, at quite previous quotations. Malt changed hands to a fair average extent, at late rates. With foreign oats the market was extensively supplied, but scantily with home-grown produce. A fair business was transacted in most descriptions, at the late decline in the quotations. _ _ _ Beans, the supply of which was small, ruled firm, at fully previous rates. _ _ Peas moved off steadily, at extreme quotations. The supply on offer was small. Barrel flour ruled firm, and fine parcels were held at an advance of 6d., the supply on offer being small. In town and country made descriptions about an average business was transacted on former terms.

(Front le rollet.) in the varione new mantles for the season, wo notice three styles which appear likely to have the greatest suc cess. The " Rotonde,", or round " Camail ;" the Casaque ; and the small " Paletot." The " Rotondo," as we have previously mentioned in our notice on fashion, is tizuelly made to match the dress. We observe en passant, that the complete toilette en suite is much worn. The bonnet of crape is even made to match the shade of the dress, and the parasol corresponds in colour. The shades are mostly preferred for these costumes are either a blue shade or violet, or the " leather" colour, which :is just now so greatly in favour. The Paletot differs but little in shape from the "Saute-en-barque" of last year, but the style of trimming is more diversified. The Paletot Gandin, and the Paletot Monteguarde, for travelling, are trimmed either with ruches or fringe. Casaques are usually made in a make of black silk called faye, and trimmed with passementezie guipure. Straight scarves are also made of this beautiful article, for which purpose it is well adapted by its extra width. Rotondes are much worn, made of the NI oollen lace called yak ; others, in anticipation of the warmer weather, are made of white lace. Shawls, of white and black lace, with the upper point rounded, are also being prepared for the more advanced period of the season. Some are lined with taffetas. Grenadine barege shawls, with a broad reversible point of guipure, and trimmed round with Chantilly lace or llama, are patronised by ladies of the highest circles. The new patterns in printed muslins are very exquisite and graceful in design. In this, as in other materials, the leather colour and brown are much worn. Blue is also a favourite colour. There are three shades principally in vogue. One, called the "new shade," is rather light; another, the corn• flower blue; and the third, and deepest shande, is the Imperial blue. In taffetas there is a good assortment of new patterns, but nearly all in small designs, The new goods in this material, but in larger patterns, are more exclusively employed for full-dress. Since it is now so much the fashion for the whole of the out-deor dress to be made of tee same c)lour, the manufacturers have prepared a variety of small patterns in this article, of two or three shades, which produce a very distingue effect, The Swim etteh combined with the basque postilion is a great success. We will describe one which completed a very elegant costume The dress was composed of taffetas in Mexico blue. At the bottom of the skirt were three waved chicorees ruches of a deeper shade. Between each was a wide ribbon of white taffetas covered with an inser tion and medallions in black guipure. High body, with Swiss sash of guipure medallions, over white taffetas, and a small basque put on in hollow plaits. Sleeves a Coude, trimmed with a jockey to imitate the epaulette of a Swiss body, formed of white taffetas and guipure, and revers at the bottom of the sleeve to match. There is a new style of trimming which is very original in character ; it consists of a fringe, which, at a distance, has the appearance of chenille , but, close at hand, instead of being heavy, is excessively light. Each strand, like chenille, is composed of very fine silk, of which four or five rows are placed upon a passementerie, producing a charming and novel effect. We have only seen it used on mantles, although made in all colours. Sometimes one row, at other times three, are placed at the bottom. Paletots generally admit but of one,and a row to match round the sleeves and pockets. Leather trimmings meet with a certain amount of success, and aro even worn on muslin bodies ; we do not, however, anticipate a continuance of this style. Many thin bodies, and fichus to wear with low• bodied dresses, of lace or muslin, trimmed with ribbons, are made. Dresses in worked Indian muslin will be fashionable this summer, and worn out of doors with rotondes to match. Some pretty models of dresses have come under our notice, a description of which we are sure will please our readers. A dress of taffetas, of the colour called cuir ; the bcttom of the skirt trimmed with a ruche of the same. It has also rings, one in the other, formed of velvet ribbon, edged on each side with guipure, and in the middle of each ring a medallion of guipure flowers. The body is high, with a postillon basque, trimmed in front with a Swiss plastron of velvet and guipure. The sleeves are a Coude, opened at the wrist, and trimmed to match, A dress of Indian foulard, in silver grey, spotted over with small black Chinese designs. The skirt is trimmed with four rows of chicorees in black taffetas, waved, and about eight inches apart. A. similar trimming is placed on the body of sleeves. A blue taffetas, with chine spots of a deeper shade, with a rather wide, waved flounce, and above it an insertion of ' block guipure lined with white, with a chicoree of the same as a heading. High body, trimmed with guipure and chi corees. Sleeves a Coude, open, lined with white taffetas, and the edge trimmed with chicorees; and medallions of guipure down the sleeves. A dress of grisaille taffetas, stripped. Plain skirt, edged with a tuyaute, two inches in width, of black taffetas piped with white, and trimmed round with a row of buttons of black passementerie with white stars. Similar buttons close the body, which behind is in postilion fashion, rather long, trimmed round with a tuyaute. A plain blue foulard—the skirt trimmed at the bottom with a narrow tuyaute of the same material, and at the top of the hem, an insertion of guipure. Body with sash; tight sleeves, with guipure forming jockeys. Although the new bonnets have not undergone much change in form, our principal modistes are displaying so much good taste in the arrangement of trimmings and choice of materials that we must certainly allow the bonnets of the present season to be a decided improvement on that of last year. The following models will, we think, substantiate our remarks : A bonnet of white crinoline, lined with Mexican blue crape. On the front a bouquet of corn flowers and wheat; another of the same inside, with a double ruche of white tulle and blue crape. The curtain, which is pointed, is com posed of blonde and crape : strings of blue ritbon. A pink crape bonnet, trimmed with ruches of the same round the front and curtain ; on the left side a bunch of white lilac, and on the right a moss-rose, surrounded with tulle and crape. A bonnet of white tulle bouillonne. The front and cur tain covered with small violets and straw trimmings. The crown has a pretty arrangement, by very fine straws cross ing each other. The strings of violet ribbon, with a bouquet of violets and tulle, in very large plaits, for the trimming inside. A capote of turquois blue tulle illusion ; a pouff of tulle on the crown and scarf of the same, carried across the bonnet. A scarf of white tulle trims the inside, with a white rose and foliage in the centre. A white crinoline bonnet, with a bunch of wild roses covered with dew-drops, so beautifully arranged, that the dew seems to be really dropping from the leaves. This bouquet is fastened to the front of the bonnet by a large bow of white crape. Curtain with crape, and strings of white taffetas. A morning bonnet of Monaco straw, trimmed at the side with a bunch of red poppies, with black centres. On the edge of the front and curtain, an insertion of lace, with a narrow velvet, either black or red, run in it. The inside trimmed with poppies, and black lace across the top, and plaited double tulle at the sides; one string of black, the other of red, ribbon. 4 white tulle bonnet was trimmed with ruches of the same, and an aigrette of small pink roses mixed with brown grass; the same flowers inside, mixed with tulle. Curtain and strings of white taffetas. Several capotes of crape have crowns of silk or tulle, with ruches to match the front on the curtain and inside ; the ribbon strings trimmed round with gauffered crape. An elegant rice-straw bonnet, trimmed on the front with pink and white geraniums, surrounded with leaves of the same flowers, and bows of rice-straw falling gracefully. The same flowers inside, mixed with white crape and blonde. White silk curtain, with bow of rice-straw. White ribbon strings. A bonnet of leather-coloured crape, On the front, a tuft of natural coloured grass and three red poppies. Curtain of the same coloured silk, with trimmings of black lace. White tulle inside, with poppies and black lace leaves. Strings to match. A bonnet of thick crinoline; curtain of turquoise blue silk. On one side a band of blue ribbon fastening a bou quet of natural feathers, inside a band of blue crape, with bouquet of blue daisies, and different coloured grass. A black crinoline bonnet, trimmed on the front with black lace, mixed with white blonde, and a bouquet of blue feathers, or of blue and green feathers mixed. When the feathers are of one shade, the strings should be black; if of two shades, then a plaid ribbon of the two colours should be used. Although rather premature as yet to make any allusion to the form of hats, yet as the shapes seem pretty well deter mined, we may venter to describe a few of the leading styles. They are mostly high in the crown, and rather pointed, both behind and in front. Sometimes one edge is raised like the old amazone hat, but never more than on one side. The other is left flat. We need hardly say that this style is only very partially adopted. The trimmings are placed in front, whether composed of flowers or feathers. If feathers are used, they are generally of two colours. The Inoroyable, Mademoiselle, Henri 111., and the Montpensier, are the favourite shapes. The Paris CAb Company employs 4,000 coach men and from 600 to 700 stablemen. SUICIDE OF A FRENCH NAVAL OFFICER:A sad event occurred at the island of Dominica some weeks since, A French gunboat grounded on a rock. The com mander, whose fault it clea rl y was, landed on the island, walked some three miles, filled a towel with stones, hung it round his neck, and drowned himself. He had run his ves sel aground once before. The gunboat was got off, and car ried her dead commander to Martinique, Mr. W. F.

Many readers will be glad to meet again with " The Chronicles of Carlingford." The one here in troduced concerns " The Perpetual Curate," Mr. Wentworth, whom we have met with before in Salem Chapel. His position was a very awkward one, and it is very ably pictured in these chapters. We leave him approaching a climax, as his three aunts, on whose opinion much depends, and who in a manner are the arbitrators of his destiny, appear suddenly on the scene. Mr. Wentworth inclines to extreme High Church views, while his rela tions are Evangelical. The conflict between such opinions will doubtless prove a very stormy one, and furnish the details of an exciting narrative, which will vie in interest with its predecessors. "Girolamo Savonarola" is an elaborate article on the life of that remarkable man, and treats of his caree r in an earnest and impressive manner. From his youth Savonarola had been certain of his tragic end. "No earthly success or reward shone through the mist of prophecy to gladden the ecstatic in his dreams. A crown of martyrdom hovered visionary but stead fast over the stormy way; the scene might change, the path might unfold, but that fiery crown was never absent from the solemn future which rolled forth in clouds and darkness before him." " Charles James Blomfield" treats of a work published by the son of the late Bishop. In criticising the book an opinion is pronounced on the life and actions of the bishop which is fairly enough done. " A Letter from Poland" will receive notice as containing some information concerning the details of that exciting struggle, Another letter is promised from the same quarter to continue the narrative of events there. " Rough Notes of a Ride to Babylon" carry the reader to that far.off Eastern land, so prolific in scenes of interest and informa tion. This entertaining account of travels concludes with the author's visit to the ruins of the Tower of Babel, where he touches the bricks, " large, square shaped, and massive, that were thoroughly burned, the very mortar, the slime, now hard as granite, handled more than four thousand years ago by earth's most impious people." " A Glance at the Italy of Cavour " will be of interest to the admirers of that remarkable man. After analysing various events, it is said that there is but one word of an swer to those who ask why Italy has not done more —" She has lost Cavour." " Crinoliniana "is a ludicrous sketch of the results of the fashion. " Epigrams " is a discourse on a subject that is generally found entertaining enough. We are furnished with several details and descriptions of the mode in which these personalities were in dulged in, and certainly there seems no cause to gainsay the opinion here expressed, that "it could have hardly been comfortable after all to live in the age of epigrams and impromptus." Some of the examples here given are striking enough. The following translation of a Latin definition is very good— " The qualities three in a bee that we meet, In an epigram never should fail ; The body should always be little and sweet, And a sting should be left in its tail." Theodore Hook's impromptu is admirable, and will be appreciated by many— " Here comes Mr. Wynter, surveyor of taxes, I advise you to give him whatever he axes ; And that, too, without any nonsense or flummery, For though his name's P?ynter,his actions are summary." The annexed is the original style of epitaph, sim ply an inscription. It is on the figure-head of Anson's ship, the Centurion— " Stay, traveller, awhile, and view I who have travelled more than you ; Quite round the globe in each degree, Anson and I have ploughed the sea; Torrid and frigid zones have passed, And, safe ashore arrived at last, In ease and dignity appear— He in the House of Lords—l here." The following translation of a Latin puzzle will amuse the curious on such subjects— " That which was Toby Watt, is what Toby Watt was not; to be Toby Watt, is not to be what Toby Watt is ; Toby is not, he will be." Fraser's Magaizne. Fraser opens with an able and interesting paper on one of the most celebrated, but by no means the most popular of English statesmen. The writer, although not a partisan of Bolingbroke, considers that his history up to the present time bas been written by his enemies. "His own explanations of particular parts of his policy have been slurred over ; designs have been imputed to him as criminal, with out due consideration of the national feeling at the time, and but little allowance has been made for the uncertainty and novelty in which, during the first half of the eighteenth century, constitutional go vernment. was enveloped." But while making all due allowance for the peculiar circumstances and influences of the time, the critic is able to give at the best but a doubtful and limited approval to Bolingbroke's policy. A concise outline of the chief features of his life and times is given. It was but a melancholy career notwithstanding the large abili ties, the daring energies, and the ready unscrupu lousness of the statesman. The man who lived in the life of courts and cabinets, to whom power and reputation were the great ends of being, early shut himself out by a singular mischance from the active politics of his day, and in spite of his unquestioned abilities, has left a name in history which is re garded with dubious favour. Miss Cobbe contributes another of her papers on Eastern travel, this month dwelling on the solemn reflections awakened by a visit to the Holy City. An article on the Polish captivity is well written and sensible. Our legislators would do wisely to ponder on some of the arguments it sets forth before they pledge England to dishonourable inactivity at all hazards. The writer very justly observes that a decided attitude assumed by a country like ours at the proper moment not only does not provoke war but abso lutely prevents it, and refers to Canning's interven tion in favour of Portugal, which produced the de sired effect without bloodshed. That the present miserable method of following a vacillating and timorous policy, until we "drift into war" unpre pared, does not answer the required purpose, we have had ample means of testing, but we fear that the Britannic Government are very far from carry ing out the author's programme. "It would be a service at once to humanity and to Poland if with out actual war, by a threatening attitude of expec tation, we forbade Prussia to aid against Poland, and forced France to direct her martial ardour against Russia, not against the Rhenish provinces. If simultaneously we kept open the Circassian trade Poland and Finland might, by the arms of France and Sweden, become independent of Russia, with glorious advantage to Europe."

The President he styles " a .weak, obsti nate ma n, of good nature and good intentions, with the jokes and manners of a clown, fitted by his honesty to be the tool rather than the instrument of his party." The story of " Late Laurels" pro ceeds rapidly, and there is also an interesting but melancholy tale, entitled, "False Ground and Firm," telling the old mournful story of fervent affection constant only on one side. There are other papers of varying merits, and the number concludes with the index to Fraser's sixty-seventh volume. Colburn's United Service Magazine. This serial opens with an amusing article on " Fortifications and Things in General." The writer takes a practical view of the advance of science, both in defensive and aggressive warfare. While exposing certain fallacies which have taken pos session of the minds of men who ought to know better, he maintains that the national interest should be always borne in mind, and that the true way to uphold our national prestige is to abolish a 11 punishments which tend to lower the offender in tht social scale. After reviewing the continental armies, he remarks As regards the English system, we do not think there is much to alter that is radically wrong. All that is requisite is less pipeclay,' if we may so express it. We mean less mechanical parade ground' discipline; many merely parade manoeuvres that are never wanted in the .Meld might be left out of the drill-book, and we do not think that more than one good way is necessary for one manoeuvre. We fancy there ought never to be more than two ways of doing the same thing, namely, the right one and the wrong one; but in our drill book,' there are frequently five or six, all of which in our opinion must be wrong except the one righ t one. We would, therefore, simplify the manoeuvres tAS much as possible, allow the men more time for mental and' retional recreation and am usement, and g y m nastics, and employ them in field works and all kinds of labour useful in a campaign. The men are sick of etanal drill and pipeclay, and mere parade movements, and are often driven to the canteen because they have not time to walk in the country. When a recruit has got over his year Of prob to a'' ne with credit, be he a private or ensi gn , h e oug ht not eter nally kept at the mere A. B. C. of his profession, as is ,tow BO much the case.

A paper on " Richard Cobden, King of the Bel gians," will be read with interest by the public generally. While acknowledging the services that Mr. Cobden has rendered to his country, we can not but lament that his egotistical fancies have taken him out of his depth. What is said of him in this article, although rather too cut ting, is but too true in the main. In a paper on " Colonies, their Influence on the Mother Country" the advantages derived by Eng land from her dependencies is fully demonstrated. The anther maintains, in fact, that without her colonies England would be nothing. " A Trip to Vancouver's Island and British Columbia," is con tinued, and contains as its predecessors have done much useful information. Under the head of " Cu riosities of Naval Literature," the writer makes game of naval men for gi'ing feminine names to the vari ous adjuncts of a ship. It is a cleverly written essay, but we cannot agree with him. A sailor is consi dered to be attached to his ship, which is supposed. to divido his heart with the object of his affections, and is it not natural that he should speak of them both as of the same gender ? In an article on " Taxation," the following sensible remarks are found — "For our own part we would rather have heard the Chancellor of the Exchequer announce a larger reduction of the tax upon income than of the duty upon Chinese tea or French wines. The consumption of these articles, especially of the latter, is optional, the payment of income tax is com pulsory, so far at least as those who are in the receipt of salaries or pay from the Crown are concerned. The tax being deducted from the quarterly bill, offioers of the Army and Navy, and the members of the Civil Service, have not the option of escaping from the payment of one penny of the impost, even had they the inclination to do so. It is, however, otherwise with regard to those engaged in trade, as they have to make returns' which may or may not be correct. The general opinion is that these ' returns,' which are made under what is termed Schedule D, are generally wrong, and that if the insomes of those engaged in manufactures, trades, and professions were properly assessed, a fivepenny instead of a sevenpenny tax would be sufficient." " Greenwich Characters" is continued, and a paper on " Poland, the Diplomatic Situation," contains matters of interest. We have also an article on " The late Exploring Expedition in Australia" which is interesting, and contains some sensible remarks on the mistakes that were made. The Editor's Port folio presents us with the general naval and military information. Cornht.ll Magazine. " The Small House at Allington" is important in, this instalment, inasmuch as it reveals the fatal truth to Lily, who, however, bears it bravely, and astonishes her friends by her fortitude. This is not an unlikely or an unnatural thing, since it is often the weakest and the most fragile who endure the best, and are the strongest in the battle of life. We also find Crosbie is promoted to very undeserved honours, for he is made Secretary, and thus fortune smiles on the recusant lover ; but actions like his bear their own punishment in a mind that is ill at ease, and those who envied him his promotion had better have pitied. Johnny Eames seems resolved to be a fool, and he is certain to pay a heavy penalty some day for his very absurd devotion to Miss Amelia Roper. Equally nonsensical is the de meanour of his friend Cradell with Mrs. Lupex. These young men are of the class who have to buy their experience very dear. "Sibyl's Disappoint ment" is a very melancholy tale that is, however, not without its uses in impressing upon the mind the misery that may be wrought by cruel jests and practical jokes. There is no more unworthy occupation in which persons can indulge to gratify their tastes for jokes or to wreak their vengeance on real or imaginary foes than these base designs. Sibyl, it is true, must have had an ill-governed mind, so soon to have been crushed by sorrow, but the evil is as great, and the sin as heavy, if no such. lamentable results ensue as are here powerfully chronicled. " Romola" is continued, and is in this portion of it very important, as Bernardo del Nero is executed. The unhappy heroine herself is tossed to and fro with painful doubts, and the whole of the story is occupied with scenes of vexatious strife, and details of misery, and the confused epoch of and fixes the worlds 15 ideals. Gulterin history to which it refers renders it most impera tively an epitome of trouble and a catalogue of woes: "Eugenie de Gerie is a pleasing paper.

"Paint, Powder, and Patches" is an entertaining sketch of tnannek:s and customs. At the conclusion of the contents hero is an amusing little essay, entitled " To Correspondents," which celebrates th e end of volume seven.

He cannot find his wife anywhere, and it is evident that there has been some foul play, for when he proceeds to Marchtnont Towers, Olivia denies all knowledge o f her whereabouts: As may be imagined, Edward is almost distracted, and the tale leaves off at this exciting juncture. The authoress i s well s killed in drawing a particular style of character, and Olivia Marchmont is a first-rate definition of an unscrupulous woman determined to gain her end, and reckless of all that stan ds in her way. Such as Olivia have been th e tragedy METROPOLITAN CATTLE. To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign stock as to number; but its general quality was very middling, and sales progressed slowly, at about previous currencies. The show of English and Scotch-fed beasts here this morning was seasonably good, and nearly all breeds came to hand in prime condition. The attendance of buyers was moderate, and the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at Thursday's decline in the quotations. A very few supe rior Scots realised ss, but the general top figure fnr them was 4s 10d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,500 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds; and from Scotland, 250 Scots and crosses. There was a fair average supply of sheep in the pens, in good condition. Prime down 3 and half-hreds moved off slowly, at last Monday's currency ; otherwise the trade was heavy, at a decline in the currencies of 2d per Ms. Lin coins sold at 4s to 4s 4d per Sibs. The best Downs were worth 4s 101 b. Lambs, the supply of which was only moderate, moved off slowly, at from 6s 4d to 6s 8d per 81bs. A few very superior Downs and half-bred lambs realised 7s per 81bs. Calves were a slo w sale, on tormer terms, viz., from 4s to 5s per Blbs. The supply was moderate.

Last week's report was moderate, viz., 196 bales from Hamburg, 30 Bremen, 10 Rotterdam, 259 Weald of Rents ................ baresbales and 261 pockets from Dunkirk, 400 pockets from h y, 6 bales frGra Boulogne, and 1 bale from Antwerp. r 1 1d and East Rents 70s to 1808 per cwt. _avar_an ................. 708 to 126 s 1 , 6Os to 1408 „ Ile.g.ain ............... 708 to 112 s ~ American...

The great attraction yesterday at Paris was the Grand Prix de Paris, which, during the peat week, has created as much inter est in racing circles in England as upon the Continent, from the fact of several Perry "cracks" having gone over to run for this great prize, the richest ever con tended for on the Turf. The stakeitself was 40 soya each, 24 ft, or 20 only if declared, to wlich the sum of £4,000 (101,000 francs) was added by the Railway Companies and Municipal Authorities of the Cityof Paris, in addition to "objets d'art," presented by, respectively, the Emperor and Empress, the former of whom never loses au opportunity of extending his patronage, with Augustian liberality, towards the encouragement and improvement of horse racing and breeding in France. Nothing c uld exceed the beauty of the sc me of the Champs Elfsees and on the Bois de Bou!ogne. The wegther was warm, but shortly after the commencement of sport a smart shower fell. The Emperor and Empress was present, and seemed delighted with the enthusiasm of the English division, who, headed by Mr. Jackson, gave them a hearty volley of British cheers. Several of our large bookuakers and leading sportsmen were on the ground. Tie Grand Prize was won in a canter by The Ranger. who, running through his horses in the last half mile, finished a length in front of La Toucques, who was two lengths in advance of Saccharometer ; Donnybrook fourth; and Lord Clif ors every wouldwin, told one that The It in quired what would be thought of the Derby and his riding. Mr. Jackson lost about £BOO en the result, and betted £1,300 to £2OO three times overnight at the Grand Hotel against The Ranger. The easy defeat of Lord Clifdan will have the effect of knocking him out of the Leger betting —but those who take liberties with him will regret it before the day of the race, as with rest he will go to the post a greatly improved horse. The Ascot meeting commences 6 -morrow, and will be honoured with the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales (who will occupy Frogmcre during the meeting). The whole series of stands have leen thoroughly cleansed and painted, and Captain Seymour, Mr. Skinner, Mr. Oades, and Mr. Manning having personally super intended the arrangements, the recent alterations cannot fail to meet with public approval. The new hotel and stabling is open under the management of Mr. Partridge, late of the Great Western Hotel, Reading; and the whole of the beds, boxes, and stalls have been engaged for some time past. A great many horses have already arrived there, including T. Taylor's string from Newmarket, a list of which, together with others ex pected, will be found elsewhere. The course is very hard, but a large and brilliant meeting may confidently be ex pected, There are eight races set for to-morrow, the prin cipal one being the Ascot Stakes. The field will be made up of the following :—Belman, Investment or The Knave, Rubicon, Captain Crow, Knutshrd, Brother to Rapid Rhone, Stanton, Romanoff, and Sae Nymph. If any de monstratien should be made in favour of one of Mr. Merry's, INVESTMENT or THE KNAVE, I shall stand him alone. In their absence I shall trust to CAPTAIN Cxow to pull me through. The Prince of Wales's Stakes—a sup plement to the Derby—is just the kind of race that was wanted on the first day, as it confirmed or destroyed the truth of performances in the Derby, which it was desirous should be ascertained. Lord Clifden is not likely to run, or we should have had an interesting race between him, Blue Mantle, and King of the Vale, my preference being for Blue Mantle. The Queen's Stand Plate, which first brought I3uckstone into notice, if all the man in the street says is correct, will likewise bring out another crack of Mr. Merry's. yclept The Scottish Chief, about whom many Derby books have been taken, and his formidable antagonists will be Gillis and Argonaut. The Royal Hunt Cup, on Wednesday, is one of the prettie t races run on the turf. With such an entry, an analysis of merit is quite out of the question ; and I will select the fol lowing to beat the field, Lord Barleigh, Pilot, Queen of Spain, Tolurno, Birdhill, Polynesia, The Knave, Alchy mist, Catch 'em Alive, and Bohemia. The Ascot Derby has Automaton, Blue Mantle, Queen Bertha, and Onesan • der in it, but all will depend upon the nature of the per alties incurred in the Prince of Wales. The rich Coronation Stakes will not bring many to the post in the face of Lady Augusta and Cerintha, both of which c an ge t smile in flying colours, The Cup Day will be honoured by the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and though their visit will not be attended by the grand pageant which usually heralds the visit of the Queen to Ascot, it will yet add immensely to the eclat of the proceedings, and render the day a red letter one in the annals of the T ur f, The G o ld Cup, the gran d event of the day will, howeve r , hardly realise the expecta tions that might with justi ce h ave b een formed of it some few weeks since, from the extent of the entries, which reached the imposing number of 28. These include all the best horses of the day, except Asteroid, as Carbineer, Caller Ou, Tim Whiffler, The Marquis, Buckstene, Stradella, Anonyma, Hurricane, Z e tl an d , an d Lord Clifden, are am o i n m g p t r h o those engaged. a o g n e d t h . e Jfoormhn of fctehtte Marquis since he was has effected a wonder fulso easily defeated by Stradella, and if I trust him and Tim Whiffler to carry me through, I think I shall have named the winner, but I give The Marquis the decided preference. Most of the other events to be decided, depend in a great measure on previous running, A FRESH MAN, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CITY BETTING.—SATURDAY.
