ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount market is firm to-day, the inquiry f or accommodation having been a little more press ing. The settlement at the Stock Exchange has partly occasioned the activity now noticeable, but There is no doubt that the uncertain and unsatisfac tory state of affairs at Paris is the principal cause, and a more cautious policy is, therefore, adopted here. Three months' bills are negotiable at 31, Per cent, and it is only in exceptionab:e instances that the concession to 31- per cent. is granted. The Bank of England Return for the week to Wednesday last shows changes which are not of great importance. The decrease which has taken place the reserves of gold is partly negatived by the reduction effected in the circulation of notes, a s Well as in the discount business of the establish lrient• Subjoined is our usual analysis Active Ci rcu l a tion .. £ 2 1,8 2 7 0 2 5 ,0 3 5 1 0 5 Decrease .. • • • • • • Bullion .• • •• .• .. 14,437,574 .

One of the parties was honourably acquitted of all olame, two othoes were censured for not using greater precau tion,, and the complaint against the fourth ad jour red for further investigation. T b e operations on the Foreign and Colonial Pro duct) Markets during the last few days have been moderately active. Sugar has fully supported pre vious rates. Coffee and rice has been in fair req Jest, while in cocoa, fruit, and spices there has bee,e no material change to record in values. The tallow market has been more active, and quotations of - P.Y.C. for both present and forward delivery exl . 'init an upward tendency. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Rmter's tele gram, the French 3 per Cant. Ratites were 67f. 05c. Very firm. T'he English Stock Market exhibits great inac tivity and heaviness.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES. Henry ' harwood and John Bryan, charged with obtaining 30 barrels of flour by forged orders, and William Day and William Reed were charged with receiving the same well knowing they were stolen. The Messrs. Bovill and Co., the parties defrauded, are wholesale dealers, carrying on business at Bolton's Wharf, Shad Thames, and on the 27th March an order was pre sented to them for the delivery of 30 1-arrels of flour. The property was delivered in cart, and it was proved that in a short time afterwards part of the flour was left at the premises of Day and Reed, tradesmen in Bermondsey. After the property had been obtained, the order was discovered to be a forgery, and on the matter be ing placed in the hands of the police, the four prisoners were taken into custody. Evidence having been adduced, Mr. Baron Martin said there did not appear to be the slightest case against Reed and Day. Oa the contrary, they appeared to have given straightforward answers to the police, and therefore it would the duty of the jury t, acquit them. With respect to the other two, there was quite suffi..dent evidence to go on with the case. Mr. Cooper, who appeared for the prisoner Bryan, said he felt certain after the jury had fully considered the whole facts of the case, they would be of opinion that the two poor men at the bar were the dupes of other parties, and that when they presented the order for the flour they had not the slightest idea it was a forgery. The jury acquitted Sherwood, but found Bryan guilty. Baron Martin sentenced him to seven years' penal ser vitude. account of himself he should take him into custody. He then stated that he was waiting for his mate. Witness then took him to the station-house. Mr. Selfe—Did he tell you where he came from ? Constable—Not till he got to the station-house. Mr. Selfe—Was anything found upon him? Constable—Only a key and a tobacco pipe. A few days ago there was a house roboery in Lupas-street. Mr. Selfe (to prisoner)—Lupas-street is a long way from Clerkenwell. What were you doing in Lupas-street ? Prisoner—l was waiting to meet a young woman. The prisoner was remanded forinquiries to be made about him. The Fine Old English Gentleman, (From the Daily Telegraph.) The " fine old English gentleman" is a type which, we trust, will never be ranked as extinct with dodos and ichthyosauri. Even clad in the old doublet and trunk hose, and wrapped round with Tory prejudices, the genial worth of the class was irresistible. They stood like pillars of the state, propping up a world of rubbish and antiquated no tions; but so valuable in themselves, that people spared the superstructure along time for their sakes. When that crumbled away, despairing Tories cried that the race was disappearing —it never could sur vive Reform Bills and Eeeencipation Acts; if old port and bigotry were to go, the " fiae old English gentleman" must go too, like one of the victims of Mr. Darwin's " natural selection," for whom the conditions of existence had ceased to be available. But have we lost him ? Have modern legislation and modern ideas buried him and his fellows fathoms deep in the " new sandstone" of thought and things ? Not a bit of it. Like the grand old boy he is and was, he holds his own with civilisation, and is to be. found at his wonted diversions and virtues, as much an institution as ever. Time has taken off his full bottomed wig, and changed the cut of his flowered waistcoat. It has hung his hall about with breech loaders and fishing-rods, insteads of " pikes, and bows, and staves ;" and whereas " when Christmas came" the worthy old man was apt to be found under his table towards the small hours, he "lives cleanly no w, and forswears sack" beyond a justifiable degree, and is fit company for the ladies after dinner, which is more than could be said for his ancestors. It wa s picturesque, perhaps, to see him at his great door serving out a share of his good things to the poor; but it is ten times better that t hese poor should be honest workmen nowadays, a nd not beggars, and that the English gentleman should keep up this part of his character by being an intelligent chairman of the board of guardians, or a sensible justice of the peace. In a word, the doe old fellow is changed, but changed for the better rather than the worse, and we only hope that he will long survive the process of such melioration. We like to come across him ; it does us good, in the stormy atmosphere of politics and the confusion of wars, to catch a glimpse of his honest, beamy coun tenance, and his contented, substantial air. We like t o hear of him from time to time, founding museums and institutions at Liverpool, giving his hat-full of thousand -pound notes at a time to the poor of Lon don. taking his pleasure and performing his duties in the thoroughgoing way peculiar to his kind; and, fife's jolly, easy, innocent, and yet earnest business ovc aying without a voi ce t o spea k ill o f hi s s il ver hairs. We need these men—large-hearted, big manly-thoughted Britishers—and we do well to be proud of them, for it is an indigenous stra i n . They don't set the Thames of science on fire with discoveries, nor take always kindly to those who do; they are largely given to Conserva tive politics, as being comfortably suitable to diges tion, which is usually more or less disturbed by thinking. But, all in all, they are a worthy set, and when we lose them it is a melancholy tribute to " make a note of it." Such V an one just d e p ar t e d f rom among us i n e Joe Weld, of is Lulworth Castle," as his neighbours affectionately called him. Perhaps because he was as good a Catholic as he was landlord, friend, citi zen, and yachtsman, we are expected not to rank him w ith the class we have described. Saving the presence of Mr. N ew d egate, the circumstance does not weigh with us in th e s li g h test d egree. Th e theory of the constitution is that a man's con science is his own business —the practice of society is to make it that of everybody e l se. W e pre f er the theory, and consider it essentially a matter of in different detail, of what particular communion a good, honest, truthful, and dutiful gentleman may be. And nothing is more obvious than the healthy set of public opinion towards this view of the matter. It is not the priestly view on either side, because its tendency is to disregard the dogmas and rubrics of this and that Church, and to select and e r: t d t b e e e tw ne e . en ß t a h t em it is the vieethem, which, e time after an which' r , e dayigo n by stick to the pointsare of as a sig h re u e z day, b r i ngs us nearer t o h will be ch ar i ta bl e , ra ti ona l, -.lid universal , a nd not the instrument of sacerdotal the ambition or the apology for heathenish animosities. There are two sides to Catholic profession in 1863, when, logically, it seems an anachro nism. There is the priestly an d - propagandist side, with which we can have no manner of sym pathy, but au inten sel y contrary feeling; and there is the hereditary and reasonable side, upon which it comes to us invested with many an estimable assoc i at i on . There are families in England amid whom the profession of the old creed has descended through generations, and by these it is reverently kept, like a household jewel, precious for its asso ciations and setting, rather than for any intrinsic fascination in the heir-loom. Mr. Weld's house has in th i s wa y inherited its tenets, and honourably maintained them. But, to one who never himself asked whether an honest man was of this creed or that, Protestant or Catholic, we owe the same rational liberality. On Joseph Weld's ancestral estate the religious screw was never turned down, nor did any man ever link the name of " 111 eld of Lulworth" with anything so mean and absurd as religions persecution. The best rec om p ense we can i g make to his memory is gladly to forget that he did rel not worship with the majority of his country men, or go towards the Heaven that is near all by qaite the same road as they. The proper way to extend and propagate his example is to imi tate it by ignoring, as we do hero, in ranking him with our " fine old Eaglish gentlemen," the slight difference in the religious sancti ons o f his manly life. H is breviary in one hand shall never make us overlook the brave old yachtsman as he stood with his tiller in the other, guiding one of his white-winged beauties to the winning -buoy.

If it was but a pastime which uncle his name known, it was a play for men, in whose blood runs salt. Th e danc i ng Lulworth, and the unconquered Alarm, if they were playthings, were plaything s for a m a n with man l y heart and tastes; and the liberal and tolerant lord of Lulworth Castle blended these, and a hundred other virtues, with the faith of the founder of stoneyhurst. A CATHOLIC CHIIIICH of large dimensions, beautifully decorated inside, and built upon the plan of one of thelßoman basilicas, has very recently been erected upon Highgate Hill. The cost of the whole structu na- re has been considerable , and not w it h standin g large do tions from various members of that community, there is still left a heavy debt to pay. Th e clergymen have, in order to liquidate this debt, improvised a distribution of prizes on a large scale, calling upon the whole world to ease , with gold send them something. Accordingly many valuables have been sent from all quarters. One dressing requisites (value L 100), was the gift of a lady, who, in send ing it, simply remarked that she had no further use for it. Several gold and silver watches have also been contributed. Homan princesses and nobles have sent costly cameo cameos of and mosaics. Pope Pius Ix . has sent an exquisite the 1 Saviour set in gold.

The coming of age of the Hon. C. J. Lyttelton, the eldest son of Lord Lyttelton, is being celebrated at Hagley with considerable spirit and good feeling by all classes there. Amongst the guest at Hagley hall is the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, who was present at a dinner given to the cottagers on Wednesday, At the conclusion of the repast, Lord LYTTELTON announced the order of the pro ceedings. His son was to be presented with an address, and his health drunk. After his son bad acknowledged this, somebody else's health was to be proposed. Whose it was, it was of course im possible for him to conjecture. (Laughter.) lie was sorry to say that the toast was going to be pro posed by a gentleman of no experience in public speaking, and of no reputation in that country or any other. (Laughter.) After the presentation of the address, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said—l rise for the purpose of communicating to you the secret to which Lord Lyttleton has alluded—(laughter) — and as I think it is better on this occasion, since time is scarce, to dispense with all preliminaries, I had bettor tell you at once that my proposal is that you should drink his health. (Cheers.) I think that the manner in which you will drink it will be worthy of him, and equal to the manner in which you have just drunk the health of his son, If indeed, this had been a toast which had required the exercise of persuasive powers, I feel that it would have been one I ought not to have undertaken, be cause I cannot profess to appear before you as a wholly disinterested witness, or look with eyes entirely impartial on any question which affects the honour and happiness of Lord Lyttleton and his family. Perhaps, gentlemen, there is another reason why I ought to have scrupled to obey the in structions which have put it down upon me to dis charge this duty. I cannot help recollecting, what indeed you would remember if I did not remind you, that the very fact of my appearance here to day, together with the other friends and relatives of Lord Lyttelton. must recall to your minds one who was the immediate link, and the earliest link, though I hope now far from the only link between Lord Lyttleton and myself. lam certain that, amidst the festive sounds of joy, and amidst the happy anticipations of the future and recollections of the past, there is not one among the inhabitants of Hagley whose mind has not also been possessed in the midst of these festivities with the recollection of the gracious presence and of the boundless good works of that person whom you would have desired, had it been permitted to you to govern her destiny, to see amongst you to-day, that she might have en joyed with you the realisation of her hopes. But likewise I believe you feel—l am sure we all feel — that the Wisdom which has ordered it otherwise has ordered it better far for her, and has called her, not to the loss of any joy she could have felt here, but has called her to the additional and the en during reward of her Christian life. Gentlemen, it has pleased the Almighty to lay upon Lord Lyttel ton the heaviest burden that can be laid upon man; but it has pleased Him also to grant him extraor dinary satisfactions and compensations. Ido not believe that in the length and breadth of this land there is a person to be found who more entirely fulfils in his own individual character all that can be desired from an English nobleman, an English landlord, and an English gentleman. (Cheers.) 1 do not believe there is one who enjoys in a greater degree the affections of friends and rela tives. I do not thing there is one the hopes of whose family spring up around him in greater abundance, or with greater brightness. And as regards that most conclusive of all testimonies to a man, the opinions and feelings of his neighbours, the assemblage we see here to-day, the testimonials of joy with which the whole village is full, and the feelings that you have exhibited, every one of you, upon every occasion when you have been called upon to manifest your sense of what he is, render it wholly unnecessary, nay, impertinent, for me to dilate upon them. We have assembled here upon an occason pre-eminently English, for it is in this happy country beyond all others that men value the traditions of their forefathers, and hope and earnestly strive to make those traditions fruitful as examples fur the future. You have among you Lord Lyttelton, presenting in himself the virtues and distinctions of his ancestry, and I may ven ture to say, without disparagement to them, adding to those virtues, and raising those distinc tions to a higher post. (Cheers.) It is well upon occasions like this that you should appeal to the noble susceptibilities of a youthful mind and character, by setting before the young what their fathers have done in their times, and what they are now doing. You present thus to their mind the highest mark, not of a rnere temporal and worldly ambition, but the highest mark of moral, civil, social, and Christian excellence, for no mark can be too high to offer in order that our endeavours may be ever striving upwards to what, after all, we cannot fully attain. On this great English occasion—and one, I believe, more full with every essential fea ture of such rejoicings has never been celebrated even in England—l call upon you to add one more to thealmost innumerable marks you have given to Lord Lyttelton of—l will not say your regard and respect, for these are but cold terms to describe the feelings of your hearts—one more testimony and proof of your devoted affection, by drinking upon this occasion to his health, his pro s p erity, and his happiness. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with much enthusiasm, and was briefly acknowledged_____by his lordship, UNLA.W FU L WOUNDING. John Morton, a seaman, pleaded guilty to a charge of unlawfully wounding his superior officer with a knite. Oa account of the provocation he was only sentenced to six months' imprisonment. NEW COURT. (Before Commissioner Kerr.) At the sitting of the court this morning Mr. M•lnt.yre referred to the case of Alexander Johnston, who yesterday pleaded guilty to stealing some shares in the South African Bank, and applied that the shares, which were now in the hands of the police, might be given up to Mr. Thompson, the master of the prisoner, and from whose office the shares were stolen. Mr. Best, on the part of Mr. Chapman, the broker who sold the shares, said it was from that gentleman's solicitor the police had obtained the share for the purposes of the prosecution; Mr. Lelame, to whom the prisoner had taken the shares, could not sell them, not being a broker, and that gentleman bad been 00 out of pocket, and had brought an action of trover to recover that sum, and he held that the shares should be returned to Mr. Chapman. After some discussion the shares were ordered to be delivered up to Mr. Thompson, the gentleman from whom the same had been stolen. EMBEZZLEMENT. George Taylor, 18, pleaded guilty to a charge of em bezzling £3O 155., the monies of Morris Wollsky, a mer chant in the Cily, to whom he had been clerk. Mr. Bealoy, on the part of the prosecution, recommended him to mercy. He was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. FORGERY. George Baskerville described as a flint grinder, of Hanky, Staffordshire, who pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with forging and uttering the acceptance of a gentle man named Hughes to a bill of exchange for £276 155., with intent to defraud the London, Birmingham, and South Staffordshire Bank. It will be recollected that the prisoner, in partnership with anoth , r person, carried on a wholesale manutacturing business in Staffordshire, and became mixed up with a per son named Smith, who was some time ago convicted of forgery. After that Baskerville found great difficulty in carrying on business, and ultimately it was discovered that he was in the habit of depositing forged acceptances, upon which he raised various sums of money, and then took up the bill before or on the day it came to maturity. A number of persons gave the prisoner an excellent cha racter. The Common Sergeant sentenced him to 5 years' penal servitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. WIFE BEATING—MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A WIFE.— Michael Harrigan, of 9, Angel-court, King-street, St. James's, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting his wife in a violent manner. On the prisoner being placed is the dock, William Duff, 138 0, informed the magistrate that the prosecutor was not present. Mr. Knox—Let the constable be sworn. Duff (on being sworn) said—About a quarter to 8 last evening, hearing cries of murder, [ went to 9, Angel-court, and on going up to the third floor I found the prisoner standing over his wife beating her with the leg of a chair. Mr. Knox—Go and fetch the wife. On the wife being brought to the court, her head being bandaged, she stepped into the witness-box and said— Let me entreat you to discharge my husband, sir. I will not press the charge. I had the leg of the chair [the woman called it a stick—it was produced, and had blood and hair on . Mr. Knox—Now don't tell me such lies as that. Wife—Oh, don't send him to prison. He wont do it any more, I'll answer for it. Mr. Knox—Go down, you are no use to us. The con stable hears cries of " Murder 1" finds you on the ground and your husband standing over you beating you with a stick on the head, there being your hair and blood on the stick, and yet you tell me a parcel of lies, and say he wont do it again. You may consider it a fortunate thing that he is not here for murder. I shall remand him for a week on the constable's evidence, and I will turn the case over in my m nd, as there is enough to send him to prison for six months. James Harwood, a gilder, was committed for a mouth for assaulting his wife, Elizabeth, who said he had left h9r entirely destitute, and that she had found him in bed with anoth.,r female. CAUTION TO CAB PROPRIETORS.—Thos. Fester, of 2, Woburn-mews West, Russell-square, cab proprietor, attended before Mr Knox, to answer a complaint of unlaw fully causing and procuring the driver of cab :3 ,042 , to cruelly illtreat and torture a horse. Mr. W. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, attended to watch the case, the driver of the horse, Maurice Whitty, having been charged by the Society's officers, on Saturday last, with cruelly illusing the horse, and fined 20s. Sell, one of the officers of the Royal Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals, saw the horse attached to a cab in Coventry-street, about ono on the morning of the 21st, and on examining the horse he found it to be one of those poor, old, worn-out horses only used in night cabs. Both its hocks were cut and bleeding, and every step it took seemed to cause it intense pain. Mr. Henry, veterinary surgeon, corroborated the officer. Mr. Kno having been informed that the horse had been destroyed fined the defendant 20s. with costs. THAMES. STABBING.—Goorge ill, beaman, lately discharged from an American ship, was brought up on remand before Mr. Partridge, charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Walter James Jennings, iron moulder, of No. 23, Brook-street, Rateliff. It appesrad from the eviclente that the prosecutor was in John's-place, Stepney, talking to a man on Monday morn ing last. The prisoner was there and frequently interfered with him, and then attempted to 0.111 a NVOIIIIIIOII shawl off her beck. He remonstrated with the prisoner, words en sued, and the prisoner sttneh Jennings a violent blow on the eye with his fist. 3eneings retaliated, and they fought a rotted, The prisoner was getting the worst of the fight, and took a knife from his pocket,Swith which he made several blows at his head and body. Singularly enough, only one blow took effect, and that was on the ptasecutor's left hand, which was severely eat. , a - chhitgs lost a good deal of blood. His brace button prevtatted one stab taking effect, and in making a blow at his breast the knife got entangled with his clothes, which were corn. On the people calling out " Police," the prisoner '4ed. Dillon, a police -sergeant, No. 19 K, met him running at the top of his speed, and stopped him. He asked him why he was running, to which he replied that the people in john's-plaos were going to ill-use him. Dillon soon afterwards met the prosecutor in Sidney-street, Commercial read, very taint from lose of blood, and his hand bleeding copiously. There was a track of blood on the footpath from John's:-place to Sidney -street. Dillon found a knife on the prisoner. There were no stains of blood upon it, and it is supposed the wound was inflicted with another knife. Mr. James Horton, surgeon, of High-street, Stepney, said the prosecutor was brought to his surgery with a severe incised wound on the back of his left hand. It was an inch and a half long. Tho man would not recover the use of his hand for some time. The coat, waistcoat, and shirt of the wounded man were cut. It had been done with a knife or come other sharp instrument. A brace button was split. In answer to a question by the magistrate, Mr. Horton said —" In my opinion the brace button stopped the blow taking effect. It was delivered with great force. Mr. Partridge—The case is now empleted. I shall not deal with such a case as this myself. The prisoner is corn. mittod for trial. WESTMINSTER. CHARGE CI , LOlTERlNG.—Cornelius Quick, a young man, who gave his place of abode in Ulerkenwell, w as charged before Mr. Selfe with being in Lupus-street, Pimlico, under suspicious circumstances. Police-constable 231 A said that last night about 10 o'clock he was in plain clothes in Lupus-street, when the prisoner was pointed out to him as having been wandering about the street for a considerable time. Witness watched him, and saw him go up the steps of some doors. He afterwards west into other streets and did the same. Wh en he was in Charlwood-street witness went up to him and told Lim be was a crm!etable, and if he did not give a s?,tiefaotory s °l i i 130 133 j 4 112 111 1111 40, 105tA 5 104 50 1131 30} 129, 30 EBI 9 97 } 1; 1811 The Steam Rams in the Mersey, The gunboat Heron, which arrived on Wednes day, remained up to last evening close to the en trance to the Great Float with her fires banked, and a " slip" cable on. Both rams are now under a guard of marines, and as the Goshawk is moored in the Float it is impossible. for either of the rams to escape without observation. We understand, how ever, that Messrs. Laird have no intention of smug gling the vessels out of port, but that they are await ing the result of the protest which has been entered against the seizure by the Government officers. The bare facts, so far to they can be reliably gathered at this early hour, are, that on Tuesday morning Mr. Morgan, of the Customs, acting under the authority of the Treasury, and not of the Foreign-office, as stated, took possession of both rum, in a strictly formal manner, announcing the fact in writing to Messrs. Laird, accompanied with the intimation, also in writing, that, if necessary, force would be employed. The men employed were con sequently at once discharged, and the ships passed out of the Messrs. Laird's hands. In this posture matters remained until mid-day Thursday, when an armed force, under the orders of Captain Inglefield, superseded the Customs offi cers in charge on board both ships, the officers and marines entering Messrs. _Laird's yard fully armed, the efficers with side arms and the marines with muskets. The Messrs. Laird have protested against these proceedings, as at once unlawful and uncalled for in the present unfinished condition of the ships. The universal feeling here is one of profound indig nation. Installation of Earl De Grey and Ripon as High. Sheriff of Hull. Yesterday the ceremony of the installation of Earl de Grey and Ripon took place at the Town- Kingston-upon• Hull. For some time past the most active preparations have been made for the re ception and entertainment of his lordship, and every thing was done both by the corporation and the public to give eclat, to the proceedings. Earl de Grey arrived at Hull on Wednesday evening at 5.25 by the train from Studley Royal. He was re ceived on the platform of the Paragon -street rail way station by the mayor, Mr. W. H. Moss, the sheriff, and several members of the corporation. He was the guest of Mr. H. Blundell , B runs wick house, Beverley-road. Messrs. Samuelson and Co., the extensive iron shipbuilders, having determined to launch from their yards four new iron vessels, the preparations for the launch were completed shortly after seven o'clock in the morning ; and soon after that hour Earl de Grey, Mr. James Clay, M.P., and Mr. Joseph Somes, M.P., together with the mayor and several members of the corporation, as well as the leading merchants of the town, entered the yard. Soon afterwards a signal gun was fired from her Majesty's ship Cornwallis, and the ships Countess of Ripon and the Lightning, two fine East India men were released from their bondage to find a home on the waters. The steamer Earl de Grey and Ripon, which has been been built for a London firm, and a small steamer for the French Government, were to be knocked off the slips. The vessels were all succesfull3 launched without any accident what ever. After the launches, his lordship and about 250 invited guests sat down to breakfast in Messrs. Samuelson's moulding loft. About eleven o'clock his lordship proceeded to the 'lumber Lodge of Free masons, where, after an address of congratulation had been presented to him, he was made an hono rary brother of the lodge. This interesting cere mony over, the members of the lodge accompanied his lordship to the Trinity-house, at the entrance to which he was met by the elder and younger brethren. There were present the borough mem bers and Lord Hotham, one of the members for the Esst Riding. Earl de Grey having been made an honorary brother, he was entertained at luncheon. About two o'clock his lordship proceeded to the Town Hall, Lowgate, for the purpose cf being installed in the office of high steward. Here were assembled the members of the corporation, the members of the consular body, as well as the various orders, guilds, and societies of the town. On the platform were the aldermen of the borough ; Mr. Samuel Warren, Q C., D.C.L., the borough re corder, and Messrs. Clay and - domes, borough mem- bers. The mayor occupied the chair. The preliminaries having been arranged, his lordship formally accepted the office. The Town clerk then administered the oaths of the office, which were attested by the mayor and recorder. His LORDSHIP then briefly addressed the audience. He said he felt grateful for the high office bestowed upon him, grateful because he had thus an oppor tunity of renewing his connection with that ancient and honourable borougti ; and as he had now be come an officer of the town, be should feel called upon at all times to promote the interests of the town, and guard them as he would guard bis own. A list of the high stewards from the establishment of the office, and dated as far back as 1583, was then handed to his lordship. The ceremony of instal lation over, a procession was formed for the purpose of proceeding to the People's Park, where a magni ficent marble statue of her Majesty, executed by Mr. Thomas Earle, London, was inaugurated. In the evening a grand banquet was given to his lordship in the Assembly-room. The chair was occu pied by the mayor, and he was supported on his right by the Earl de Grey and Ripon and Mr. Samuel Warren, Q.C„ and on his left by Lord Hotham, M.P., and Mr. James Clay, M.P. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been dis posed of, The ula/aataX gave the toast of dile evening, " The Right Hon. the Earl de Grey and Ripon.' His Lordship, on rising, was received with the most deafening applause. After thanking the mayor and corporation for the high honour which bad been done him by eonferrint upon him so high an office as that of the high stewardship of so important a borough, in speaking of the volunteer movement, his lordship remarked that that body would always be a valuable auxiliary to the standing army. We lived in times when no reasonable man who looked abroad and contemplated the scenes which were being witnessed in the East and the West, and in various parts of the world, could doubt, be thought, that it was the duty of this country to be prepared to meet any contin gone y,havin g a d ue regard to the economy of public money, which it is the duty of any Government to look to. Nevertheless, it was their duty to take care that they took no step which would tend to diminish the efficiency of our military forces, or in any way weakened our national de fences. His noble friend (Lord notham) had ex pressed a hope that it would be long before the services of our army and navy were required I he most sin cerely joined tae noble Lord in that hope, and by the appearances in various parte of the world, he could eec no ground for fearing that the peace which hotV etisted would be broken. (Applautiot) That Face mould be best Maifitained if a great Power like England, which had no aggressive objects, took care to maintain her positio n in the world, and make her voice heard in tiid countries of Europe and by the great powers of the earth, and also to manifest a desire nut to interfere in their affairs. It was our duty towards foreign countries to do to others as V 72 would they should do to 1.19, and apply the principles and maxims that. we would have applied to ourselves by remember ing that when we are neutral we might again be come belligerents. (Applause.) I t was i n t h a t spirit that the Government of which he had the honour to he a member had undertaken to act. (Applause.) After a few remarks on the duties of the office ia which he had that day been installed, his Lordship resumed his seat amidst tremendous bursts of applause. The meeting w ag subsequently addressed by Lord Hotaare, ° Mr. brae Clay, and Mr. J. SOMV2. MARKETS —This Day, MARE-LANE. To- day's market was but mwever,oderately both for suppliedred and whit with Eng e - lish wheat. The dem and, qualities ruled inactive, yet Monday's quotations were fairly supported. With foreign wheat the market was extensively supplied. A fair business was transacted in most instances at pre vious rates. Fl oa ting cargoes of grain moved off slowly at late cur rencies. The supply of barley was moderate, and the trade was in a sluggish state at previous quotations. We have to report a slow trade for all kinds of malt at ate rates. The market was extensively supplied with oats, in which sa l e s progr es sed slowly at the late decline in prices. Beans and peas were dull, yet no change took place on their values compared with Monday. Flour moved off slowly at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS 'WEEK. Wheat Barley. Malt. Oats. Flout.
